00:00Oh shit, here we go again.
00:03Always a black drag queen gotta save the day.
00:06Alright y'all, come on. Harder. Harder!
00:09I'm going as fast as I can!
00:12Repeat after me.
00:14I think we can.
00:15I think we can.
00:16I think we can.
00:17I think we can.
00:18I think we can.
00:19I think we can.
00:20I think we can.
00:21I think we can.
00:22I think I just did.
00:24Oh my god.
00:26Yeah, that's gonna be a rough one.
00:28Just keep pedaling.
00:29Generators reaching half capacity.
00:33Cause it takes a whole lot more than bad lighting
00:36to keep a good drag queen down.
00:45Honey, this is how you throw a party on Drag Race, bitch.
00:48My name is Athena Dion.
00:49I'm the Greek goddess from Miami.
00:50You may also refer to me as the queen of Miami.
00:53Athena was pretty much the HBIC of Mount Olympus,
00:56and that's how I feel.
00:57My drag style is opulent.
00:59It's glamorous.
01:00I would say I'm close to perfect,
01:01as I don't think perfection is attainable,
01:03but I'm pretty much as close as it can get.
01:06Ooh, we're in the red light district this season.
01:09Why are the lights off?
01:10It's black everywhere.
01:11Did I take the wrong door?
01:13Well, still gorgeous.
01:15I'm basically the hostess with the mostess in Miami,
01:18and I'm a big drag mother with a huge drag family.
01:21My drag daughter is the winner of the Lala Perusa season 16
01:24Morphine Love, Dion.
01:26Plain Jane is also technically my drag daughter.
01:29I am definitely the Kris Jenner of drag.
01:31Mama's home!
01:33I have one thing to say.
01:34Kenya Pleaser!
01:35I'm Kenya Pleaser all the way from South Carolina,
01:36and I'm here to please you and everybody in America.
01:37She better shake.
01:38My drag style is your sexy auntie that's a ho.
01:40I can give you sex.
01:41I can give you church lady.
01:42I can give you grandma.
01:43I can give you straight up cunts.
01:45She kind of looks like Lizzo.
01:58I impersonate Lizzo.
01:59That's actually how I started doing drag.
02:01I am a showstopping plus-sized diva.
02:04The Pleaser principle is always an effect baby.
02:07I'm Athena Dion.
02:08Bitch, I know who you are.
02:09I know of Athena Dion.
02:14She is the grand dame of Florida.
02:15It is very intimidating, but, you know,
02:18I'm ready to sit this fat ass on these other girls
02:20and dominate the competition.
02:22Why is that blanking?
02:24I don't know.
02:25Oh, now you're freaking me out.
02:26Girl, what the fuck?
02:28Where's the dark?
02:30Why?
02:31The next queen to walk in is definitely
02:32the boogeyman or the booger man.
02:37Oh, oh, oh.
02:40Gay!
02:44There's a rainbow.
02:46There's a rainbow.
02:48I'm Uni Coco.
02:49I am the high-energy, high-fashion diva
02:51from the mile-high city of Denver, Colorado.
02:53Ow, ow, ow!
02:56My drag is conceptual.
02:57It's theatrical.
02:58It's a little bit unhinged.
03:00Oh, my God, girl!
03:02Coco!
03:03Oh, my God!
03:04I know you!
03:06Let me guess.
03:06You made the whole outfit yourself, didn't you?
03:07Of course.
03:08Every stitch, baby.
03:10Now, I know Nini from the internet.
03:12I know she's a good costume designer,
03:13so design challenges, watch out.
03:16So are you, like, a costume designer by trade?
03:17Is that, like, your day job?
03:18No.
03:19I actually quit my day job to come here.
03:20I was a mechanical engineer.
03:22What the fuck?
03:23Up until yesterday.
03:24It's very Clark Kent engineer by day,
03:27drag queen superstar by night.
03:28I think my coworkers are going to freak out
03:30when they see me on TV,
03:31because I was doing low calculations last week,
03:33and now I am starting my stuff on the RuPaul's Drag Race.
03:35This competition is so important to me
03:37because I get to turn my life
03:38in a completely new direction today.
03:45What up?
03:46Oh, my God.
03:47Is that Jinx?
03:49My name's Jane Don't,
03:50and I'm a little lady who's a big problem.
03:52A lot of my drag revolves around comedy.
03:54Yes, soldier.
03:55Yes, soldier.
03:56Other way.
03:56Give it to me.
03:57Oh.
03:57Would that be something you would make for yourself?
03:59No.
04:01I would make it better.
04:02I'm extremely inspired by old-school funny ladies,
04:06Bette Midler and Joan Rivers.
04:09Hi!
04:11I can hear your gay voices from so far away.
04:13Gay?
04:14I'm a Christian.
04:15Fabulous.
04:15Hi.
04:16Athena Dion.
04:17Hi, Athena.
04:17OK, I know Athena.
04:18Hey.
04:19My name's popular.
04:20I want America to know I'm one of the best in the biz,
04:24and I mean business.
04:25Big business.
04:28So, Miss Jane, where are you from?
04:29I am from Seattle, Washington.
04:31Are you related to Jinx?
04:32I am not.
04:32Are you related to Jinx?
04:33Irene, the alien, and Bosco are my older sisters.
04:37I have two hot, mean older sisters.
04:39Bosco from season 14 and All Stars 10,
04:41and Irene, the alien from season 15 and All Stars 10.
04:44You know, both of my sisters have done very well for themselves,
04:47besides the water.
04:48So, it's probably kind of intimidating.
04:57Who's ready for a little chaos?
05:00I'm Discord Adams, and I am the high-fashion punk rock Maxillist from St. Petersburg, Florida.
05:04My drag style is filled with safety pins, studs, and a lot of gumption.
05:09It's sort of Patsy from Ab Fab, but like after the apocalypse.
05:12I'm definitely known for like my high-energy rock and roll performances.
05:16I love to play guitar live.
05:18Hello!
05:19Hello, everybody!
05:21Becoming a drag rock star is the ultimate goal.
05:23Tell us about your look.
05:24Did you make this?
05:25Yes, I made the boots.
05:26My partner made some of it.
05:27Whoa!
05:28Did anybody like make their outfits?
05:30I'm in my...
05:31Oh!
05:32My first impression of Nene Coco is I absolutely hate what she's wearing.
05:36I hate rainbows so much.
05:38Can we get into the ball?
05:39Can we get into this?
05:40Oh my God.
05:40What is this saying?
05:41It's saying like don't fuck with me.
05:43I got a big eagle with a bigger attitude.
05:47Oh!
05:48Ah!
05:48I'm rapping for the big backs and I came to eat.
05:52Did she say big backs?
05:53Bitches!
05:54I'm Mia Star and I am from West Palm Beach, Florida.
05:58I am your 90s, early 2000s, hip hop, dancing diva, big back hookah hoe.
06:03Oh my God!
06:04How'd you do it to him?
06:05My drag style is very mob wives, very urban, high energy.
06:09I am a choreography bitch.
06:11That's my sister.
06:12What the fuck?
06:13No more Florida, please.
06:14No more Florida.
06:15Girl.
06:16No more Florida.
06:17Miss Mia Star, honey.
06:20She's sister of the House of Dion.
06:22She's auntie.
06:23She is such a talented dancer.
06:25Her talent speaks for itself and she will be tough competition.
06:27Tell us about your drag.
06:29I started 17 years ago.
06:31Whoa!
06:32I have a interesting drag journey.
06:35I started drag 17 years ago.
06:37I stopped for 14 years to pursue dance.
06:40I've been on tour with Rihanna on her loud tour.
06:43What?
06:44I have been on world tours with Paulina Rubio, Rihanna, Britney Spears.
06:50I have performed at the Super Bowl with Jennifer Lopez.
06:53I'm so proud of you.
06:54You're a rock star, bitch.
06:55But now it's my time to shine in the front.
07:02Oh, okay.
07:04Can I say the F word?
07:07Fuego!
07:10I'm Didi Fuego and I am from New York City, baby.
07:15It's a porcupine.
07:16Yeah.
07:17I actually know a lot of F words.
07:18I am fiery, feisty.
07:20I am a full fucking production.
07:23All right, let's do it!
07:26The vibes that I'm serving are always high polish, high fashion, big teeth.
07:32Where are you from?
07:33I am from New York City.
07:35Oh, shit.
07:36I am originally from Monterrey, Mexico.
07:39I am a Latina, but I'm not like a cha-cha-cha, like, give you the...
07:43Your name's just Didi Fuego.
07:44Okay, okay, okay, I know.
07:46Didi, how long have you been doing drag?
07:4710, 15 years.
07:49We have seasoned girls this year.
07:50Thank God!
07:51I'm thrilled I'm not the only person over 30.
07:53Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
07:54How many of us are over 30?
07:55Why are we doing this now?
07:56Athena, put your hand up.
07:58This is correct.
07:59No, I agree.
08:00I love that it's a bunch of old bitches.
08:03I am feeling a different vibe.
08:10The party princess of Miami and Mykonos is finally here.
08:16Yes, baby, the juice is loose.
08:19My name is Juicy Love Dion, and I'm Miami's Afro-Cuban dancing duo.
08:24Girl, she gonna lip sync down, bitch.
08:26I mean, isn't it obvious?
08:27I'm a dancing queen.
08:28Some of you may know my drag mother, Morphine Love Dion from season 16.
08:33Another Florida bitch.
08:34Four Florida girls.
08:35Oh, it's a family affair, kids.
08:38The fruit of my loins has entered the work room.
08:42Juicy Love Dion.
08:45Get your booty over here.
08:47So this is all the same family, the Dion.
08:49Yes.
08:50Let's get this straight.
08:51Athena Dion is Morphine's drag mother,
08:54and I'm Morphine's drag daughter.
08:56So technically...
08:57We don't use the G word in public, just so we're clear.
09:01Mother Morphine.
09:02Grandmother Athena, but also Mother Athena.
09:06I think this is the first time in Drag Race herstory
09:09that a mother and daughter are competing together in this competition.
09:12I feel like I'm being chaperoned.
09:13You are.
09:14You got mom and you got your tia over here, honey.
09:16Yeah.
09:17Athena has already said she's related to Mia somehow.
09:19They're sisters.
09:20Now her daughter is here.
09:22My strategic mind immediately goes,
09:24well, they're gonna have each other's back.
09:29Oh!
09:30Baby, it's easy to see that I'm the king.
09:33You can question those other girls, but never Queen V.
09:36Come on, Dr. Sue!
09:38Yes!
09:39My name is Vita Von T. Starr,
09:40and I am the queen of Montgomery, Alabama.
09:43The Starr family name represents class, money,
09:47looking like a coin all of the time.
09:51Hello!
09:52What's your name?
09:53Vita.
09:54Aren't you a pageant girl?
09:55I am.
09:56What do you know about me?
09:57Girl, you're sickening, bitch.
09:58I mean, what else?
09:59Vita Von T. Starr is huge competition.
10:04She is an icon.
10:06What titles have you won?
10:07Black America Newcomer.
10:08Black America.
10:09Empire.
10:10I've gotten first runner-up
10:11at International Entertainer of the Year.
10:13Should've won.
10:14And I think you're also a costume designer yourself.
10:16Did you make this?
10:17I am.
10:18Now you know I did.
10:19You know I did.
10:20So we have like three design girls here on this season.
10:22Oh, who's the other design girl?
10:23Hi, I'm just four.
10:24And you make this?
10:25Yes.
10:26I also make most of my own look.
10:27Oh, Miss Vita girl,
10:29you're gonna have to keep your eyes on some of these girls
10:31because I'm not the only one in the competition
10:33who's an amazing designer.
10:37Bitch, here we go.
10:38Oh.
10:41Why are you recording me?
10:45What the actual fuck?
10:46What?
10:47I'm Briar Blush,
10:48and I'm Boston's pin-up princess.
10:50Briar Blush is an amalgamation of everything
10:52that doesn't make sense to combine.
10:54She's retro.
10:55She's a little goth.
10:56She's a little edgy.
10:57Bring that motherfucking hair a bitch.
10:58Yes, ma.
10:59Oh.
11:00I always have jet black hair in a great beat.
11:05Meh.
11:06Oh.
11:07Girl, this gonna be a shady already, girl.
11:09She doesn't want to give us a hug.
11:10She doesn't want to say hello.
11:12At this point, everyone is walking in,
11:15saying hi, kiss, kiss.
11:17Briar, she's immediately hands on the front of the table.
11:20Like she is about to buy 51% of this company.
11:24What's your name?
11:25My name is Briar Blush.
11:27My name is like the thorns of the rose.
11:29That's what a Briar is.
11:30Oh, a Briar.
11:31So is Briar like descriptive of your personality?
11:34A lot of people tell me I'm very intimidating in drag.
11:37My personality may be a bit divisive,
11:39but my quality of drag is undisputed.
11:41Brian, where are you from?
11:42Brian?
11:43Oh, shit.
11:44I'm from Boston, Massachusetts.
11:45Okay.
11:46Where's the Boston attitude?
11:47I think you've seen it already.
11:48I think we got it.
11:49Miss Nurse.
11:52Oh, girl.
11:55Don't you know?
11:57A mango a day keeps the doctor away.
12:00Girl, somebody call the MLM.
12:02I'm Mandi Mango.
12:04I'm Philadelphia's favorite Asian baby girl.
12:06And I am the Filipina Fruity Tootie Booty.
12:09Coming to you in your favorite flavor.
12:11Wait, what is she holding?
12:13A mango.
12:14It's a mango?
12:15Oh, oh, oh.
12:16A signature drag element is a touch of cookiness.
12:19It can be the most abstract and kind of conceptual things where you're like, what is she doing?
12:26But you can still tell there's a high level of femininity and cunt to it.
12:29What's your name?
12:30Mandy Mango.
12:31Hi, Mandy.
12:32We get the mango reference now.
12:34Okay, so the mango is sweet.
12:35Are you a sweet personality?
12:36Honestly, yes, I am really sweet.
12:38I work my day job as a nurse, so like...
12:40Okay, okay, it's all coming together.
12:42I specialize in HIV and sexual health with the LGBTQ community.
12:46This costume is not just a nurse outfit.
12:48I fully am a nurse.
12:50I love to do the stunts, give the shows, give the glamour.
12:52But mama, I'm also drawing your blood, giving the injections.
12:56Because I'm what?
12:57Registered.
12:58Have we acknowledged that this is spooky?
13:01It's spooky.
13:02Yeah, it's dark as fuck in here.
13:03That red light is blinking in a little suspicious way.
13:06Ooh.
13:07I don't know if this is normal, but it feels tense.
13:10Well, have you seen the show, Tamar?
13:16Oh!
13:17Ah!
13:18Feeling scared yet?
13:20You should be.
13:23Happy Halloween!
13:24Woo!
13:25My name is Sierra Mist, and I'm the shape-shifting superstar of Indianapolis, Indiana.
13:29My drag stylist is inspired by sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and magic.
13:33So we got mangoes, we got pumpkins.
13:36I am a prosthetic makeup artist, so you will see creature transformation.
13:41I'm loving all of this.
13:42And you did all of this?
13:43I did do all of this.
13:44About 96% of all the things in my closet are things that I've made.
13:48Sierra Mist prides herself on being able to take something and turn it into her complete vision.
13:54So what would you consider your drag aesthetic?
13:56A little ooky spooky.
13:57Okay.
13:58A little ethereal.
13:59A little Sierra mystical, if you might say.
14:01Okay.
14:02You're a spooky, creepy, kooky queen, and you're named after a discontinued soda pop?
14:07I don't get it.
14:08I think a demon monster from hell is probably the best description.
14:11Yeah, it suits you.
14:18Oh my god.
14:20She's corny.
14:22I don't remember it having corn.
14:24I'm Darlene Mitchell and I'm the country, cunty, camp queen of Los Angeles.
14:28Darlene is the perfect mix between soap opera glamour and Midwest trailer trash.
14:33I can see your cornhole from here.
14:36My signature drag look is big hair, very Peg Bundy.
14:41There's a quote from Dolly Parton that she says like,
14:43I literally modeled my look off of the women in town that they called trash.
14:47And that's very much the aesthetic.
14:50I'm from Los Angeles.
14:52Oh!
14:53Originally from Greentown, Indiana.
14:55Yes!
14:56You're representing LA, but you're dressed as corn and you missed something.
15:02So did drag bring you to LA or you started drag once you landed here?
15:05I started drag once I landed here.
15:07I started as a bedroom queen.
15:08Okay.
15:09And then made my way into the bar circuit and then sort of evolved back into a bedroom queen.
15:14Oh!
15:15You don't perform in the local scene.
15:16I used to.
15:17And I actually performed with the name Trash.
15:20About 10 years ago, I performed with the drag name Trash.
15:23And I definitely lived up to that.
15:25I rode fast and hard.
15:27And then I became sober and I decided to become Darlene Mitchell.
15:33So how long have you been doing drag?
15:3410 years.
15:35Oh my God.
15:36I actually haven't been in like the performing circuit for four or five years.
15:40I have friends that joke with me like,
15:42Come on girl, we gotta get the drag out of the house.
15:48Uh oh.
15:49Hi, I'm Mikey.
15:51But you, you can call me...
15:54Mikey.
15:57I am the gorgeously stupid, stupidly gorgeous Mikey Meeks.
16:00And I am the drag ingenue of Orlando, Florida.
16:04I am a dynamic, theatrical, powerhouse creative.
16:09Is that Florida?
16:10Yes.
16:11By Florida girls.
16:12I am mailing someone Anthrax.
16:14This Florida block that has developed is a little alarming as a competitor who is not from Florida.
16:21I am losing my mind!
16:25Mikey, what type of drag do you do?
16:27I host a lot back home.
16:29I do a little bit of glamour, a little bit of camp.
16:31Back home, I am known as a funny diva and a hosting queen.
16:35I love to host, not travel.
16:37That's a grinder joke.
16:39That's a grinder joke.
16:40Bitch, we're here.
16:41We are here.
16:42In these four pink walls.
16:43Very dark walls.
16:44Yeah.
16:45Oh!
16:46Oh!
16:47Oh!
16:48Oh!
16:49She did out of the house!
16:50Oh!
16:51Oh!
16:52Oh!
16:53Oh!
16:54Oh!
16:55It's so dark, you can't see anything.
16:56Follow the light, Carol Ann!
16:58My queens!
16:59Yeah!
17:00Yeah!
17:01Yeah!
17:02Now is not the time to hide in the shadows.
17:05When we work together, we've got the power to make magic and change the mother tucking world.
17:12Yeah!
17:13Yeah!
17:14Yeah!
17:15Yeah!
17:16Yeah!
17:17Yeah!
17:18So join hands.
17:19Hold my hands.
17:20Hold me.
17:21Oh my god.
17:22Kettle!
17:23Faster!
17:24Harder!
17:25Everybody say love!
17:27Love!
17:30I can't hear you!
17:32Oh!
17:33Oh!
17:34Oh!

17:54You won't let anybody take away the shine that God gave you.
17:58Hallelujah!

18:01This season, all eyes are on your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
18:08So make them eat it.
18:10Because in the end, the queen that leaves no crumbs will be crowned America's next drag superstar.
18:19Now, are you ready for your first mini-challenge?
18:22Yes!
18:23Good.
18:24Because it's gonna be a scream.
18:28I'm scared.
18:29Girl, what the fuck are you gonna do to us?
18:31I'm already fucking scared looking at Mandy's makeup.
18:36Let's go.
18:40Hello, hello, hello.
18:42Athena Dion.
18:44Welcome to your season 18 initiation.
18:47Say hello to Jamal Sims.
18:48Hello, Jamal.
18:49Hey, Athena.
18:50I'm curious.
18:51Would dates consider you a screamer?
18:54She's a screamer and she's a biter, RuPaul.
18:56Oh.
18:57Well, for this week's mini-challenge, you need to scream your padded ass off.
19:02Okay.
19:03But you won't be doing it alone.
19:06Oh.
19:07Oh.
19:08Oh.
19:09Oh.
19:10There are some hot masked for masked answers, but this could be a good scream after all.
19:16Athena, you're about to do a little primal screamography with these hot pulsing men's scissors.
19:22Good luck and may the best scream queen win.
19:27Oh my God, so many fans.
19:32I'm screaming like a 55-year-old woman at a gay beach.
19:37Woo!

20:56Give me a little baby Home Alone.
20:59You screaming like a white woman in Compton.
21:01Well, I do have my purse.
21:03Okay, hold on to the first.
21:06Discard Adam.
21:11That scream was primal.
21:17Mamma Mia, that's quite a scream.
21:21Oh, it's getting hot up here.
21:28Scream, girl.
21:29That was crazy.
21:30I'm right, that was crazy as hell.
21:31Finally, it is time for some of us to get up out of drag and see how these hookah holes look.
21:37Is anybody catching your eye so far?
21:39Yeah, Athena, I really...
21:41She's hot.
21:42She's hot.
21:43I'm taking off my drag.
21:44I feel like there's some eyes wandering in my direction.
21:46I'm a feast for the eyes, so dive in, ladies, take a bite.
21:48You would be mean to me at a bar.
21:50Oh!
21:51Would you hit on me and I turn you down?
21:52Is that what you're saying?
21:53Okay, let's not go that far.
21:55Juicy Love Dion, are you ready to make $14 the hard way?
21:59I'll do it for $10.
22:00Oh!
22:01Oh!
22:02Oh!

22:28Ah!
22:30Tierra Mist.
22:31Boys, you can touch.
22:33It's okay.
22:35Oh!
22:36Oh, that's kind of hard.
22:37Oh.
22:38Oh, my goodness!
22:39Ooh!
22:40Miss Darlene Mitchell.
22:41Darlene, scream like you're the last piece of white meat at Roscoe's!
22:45Roscoe's.
22:54Mikey Meeks.
22:55Oh, hey.
22:58This is not what I thought would be the first mini challenge,
23:01but I don't mind the sweaty men around me.
23:02That's fine.
23:03Oh, it reminds me of home.
23:04Now, something tells me you've been initiated several times.
23:10That was crazy.
23:13We have all survived this crazy initiation
23:15ritual.
23:15Now it's time to haul all of these boxes
23:17and bins across the room
23:19so we can get out of these drags.
23:21Concierge, ding, ding.
23:22Ding, ding.
23:24Where's my always suitcase?
23:26There it is.
23:26Someone help me.
23:29Ooh.
23:30Time to de-drag.
23:34Taking a look around,
23:35some of them might be scarier than whatever just happened.
23:37I'm looking around the room
23:39and I'm like, is this the crew?
23:41Some of these girls look completely
23:43different without makeup.
23:44Wait, who are you?
23:48I'm Nene.
23:49I'm kind of gagging everyone out of drag.
23:52They give like very puss-puss women,
23:53so seeing them giving cock-cock man
23:55is great.
23:57Oh my goodness.
23:58Hello, hello, hello.
23:58Out of drag.
23:59She looks like a lesbian.
24:01You're like Teagan and Sarah.
24:04Look at this.
24:05Is this a wig?
24:06No, this is my hair.
24:07The girls are all like shocked
24:08at what I look like out of drag.
24:10I guess when you're puss-puss-ma-guss,
24:11they don't expect like a little
24:12turnip goblin to come out.
24:14How do y'all feel
24:15that we have a lot of older queens this season?
24:16Why do we have to keep saying older queens?
24:18No, no, girl.
24:18It's seasoned, girl.
24:19How many queens are over 30?
24:20Raise your hand.
24:2130 and up, bitch.
24:22There's a hand over there.
24:26And Darlene, too.
24:27It's the granny season.
24:28So we're like more over 30.
24:30We are 30, flirty, and surviving.
24:32America is a baby.
24:35There's so much to learn
24:36from all your years of wisdom.
24:38Shady comment.
24:39Coming from the shady queen.
24:41I'm starting to think
24:42some of these girls
24:43are even more annoying out of drag
24:44than in drag.
24:47Hey, Lady Kim.
24:48Scream if you want to go faster.
24:52No, yes, sir.
24:55My queens,
24:56now y'all let loose,
24:57to say the least.
24:59Sorry.
25:00But one of you truly
25:01unleashed the beast.
25:03Beast.
25:03The queen that served
25:04the most primal scream is...
25:07Kenya Pleaser.
25:13Condragulations.
25:14You've won a cash prize
25:15of $2,500.
25:16I won the very first
25:21mini-challenge of the season.
25:22It was crazy.
25:23Me.
25:23Me.
25:24My big black fat ass.
25:25Bitch!
25:26Ladykins, since the dawn of time,
25:28drag queens have turned
25:29the tragical into the magical.
25:32And now, more than ever,
25:34it's time to reclaim,
25:36renew,
25:36and rejoice.
25:38For your first maxi-challenge,
25:40you'll pay tribute
25:40to all the scrappy queens
25:42that came before you
25:43by using their leftover treasures
25:45to create your own
25:47signature drag look.
25:50The first maxi-challenge
25:52is a design challenge.
25:55A design challenge.
25:57Right off the bat.
25:58Where's the talent show, bitch?
26:00Where is the talent show?
26:03In a moment,
26:04you'll get full access
26:05to the Drag Race vault,
26:07where you'll rummage
26:09through materials
26:10from past seasons.
26:12Now, you can use
26:12your own hair, accessories,
26:14and undergarments,
26:15but the rest of your look
26:16needs to be pulled
26:17deep from within
26:19the anals
26:20of Drag Race herstory.
26:21Ooh!
26:23Oh, and just one more thing.
26:25Tomorrow on the main stage,

26:28and a ma.
26:29What?

26:36Oh, my God!
26:38Oh, my God!
26:39Oh, Percy!
26:40Cardi B is in
26:42the motherfucking building.
26:43I know that's right.
26:44Racers,
26:45start your engines
26:46and may the best drag queen
26:48win.
26:48Yeah!
26:50So excited
26:51it's a design challenge.
26:52This is OG Drag Race,
26:54and I think it is
26:54an incredible first challenge
26:56to see what everybody
26:57is made of.
26:58Oh, my God!
27:02Whoa!
27:05Our first challenge
27:06is reclaim,
27:07renew, rejoice.
27:08We have to create
27:09couture looks
27:11using unconventional
27:11materials from
27:12the Drag Race vault.
27:13What?
27:14What the fuck?
27:15We all run in
27:16like there's only
27:17one piece of chicken left
27:18on the table
27:19at Thanksgiving.
27:20Bitch, I cannot!
27:22Just grab, sisters.
27:23Just grab!
27:24No more Bob, Jesus.
27:26Oh, my God,
27:27there's sponges.
27:28Oh, Monet,
27:28I love you,
27:29but we're gonna
27:29leave the sponges
27:30at home.
27:30I found Lexi's
27:31tarp, y'all.
27:33Bitch, I don't even
27:34know what I grabbed.
27:35Sorry about the mask.
27:37Oh, girl!
27:39Oh, my God!
27:41Shit, bitch!
27:42We're gonna be
27:43stalling on day one.
27:44It's crazy.
27:45You know what?
27:45I need to slip into
27:46something a little bit
27:46more comfortable.
27:47Now, let's analyze
27:48what we have today.
27:50I do design a lot
27:51of my garments,
27:51but I pay some very,
27:53very talented people
27:53to make them for me
27:54because I know
27:55they'll do it better.
27:55Oh, yes.
27:57Now that's gonna be pretty.
27:59But, honey,
27:59I wasn't gonna be the one
28:00to show up on
28:01RuPaul's Drag Race
28:02not knowing how to sew.
28:03Before I came here,
28:03I bought myself
28:0425 sewing classes,
28:05so I prepared for this.
28:07I'm gonna make something
28:07fierce out of these materials.
28:09All right,
28:09let's get to sketching.
28:12Girls,
28:13look what I found.
28:15Stop!
28:16I wonder if that's the one
28:17Ariana Grande wore.
28:18Because it looks a little
28:19too small to be.
28:21It smells a little
28:21like Ariana Grande.
28:24Okay, bitch,
28:25I'm trying to think.
28:26Okay, let me see.
28:29Girl, I'm looking down
28:30at all the shit I have
28:31and I'm like,
28:32oh, shit.
28:34I grab no fabric.
28:36I have a fucking rubber
28:37chicken and a fish.
28:41Pillows and a fucking beach hat
28:42with no fucking fabric.
28:45Girl.
28:46I know how to sew
28:48and I didn't grab
28:48nothing to sew with.
28:52How did you find
28:53like your entire aesthetic
28:54in one go?
28:55I said cheetah,
28:56box of black.
28:56Yeah, this is like
28:57so you.
28:58My bag is filled
28:59with all of my favorites.
29:00Leather, chain,
29:02and pompous grass.
29:03I love designing shit.
29:04I've just been like
29:05making costumes
29:05my entire life.
29:06Really?
29:07And then like
29:07I met my partner
29:08and he's like a sewer.
29:10My partner and I,
29:11we consider ourselves
29:12the House of Atoms
29:13and we are known
29:14back home for upcycling
29:15and for creating outfits
29:17out of scratch.
29:18We want to show the world
29:19that you don't have
29:19to have $100,000
29:21to compete on Drag Race.
29:22So I think we all know
29:24this challenge is mine.
29:28What are you going to do
29:29because I know
29:30you can sew, girl.
29:30I can sew with
29:31normal fabric
29:32but this is a lot of like
29:33knock, knock, knock
29:35on wood, baby.
29:36Don't be like
29:36La La Rie, girl.
29:37No, girl.
29:38I am making
29:38a paper bag look
29:39using the same materials
29:41as La La Rie.
29:42Her fatal flaw
29:43was clearly that
29:44she didn't do
29:44anything to them.
29:46She just glued them
29:47to her body.
29:48So my challenge is
29:49how can I completely
29:51transform this material?
29:52As an engineer,
29:53you have to have
29:54a plan
29:55before you can
29:55construct anything.
29:56So I have to get that
29:57on paper to understand
29:58what direction I'm going.
30:01I'm known for giving
30:02high drag
30:03so my biggest expectations
30:05is just to come
30:06with the wow factor.
30:08Okay, talk to me, baby.
30:09What do you want to do?
30:10What do you want to be?
30:11I have these umbrellas.
30:13I have to speak
30:13to the fabric,
30:14let it speak to me.
30:15We talk to each other.
30:17Speak to me.
30:17Speak to me, baby.
30:18Talk to me.
30:20Is it weird
30:21that I have to talk
30:22to the fabric?
30:22Yeah.
30:24I know you're
30:25like a dancing diva.
30:27Uh-huh.
30:27Are you going to make
30:28an outfit for,
30:29to dancing
30:29or are you going to be
30:30trying to...
30:31Yeah, I mean,
30:31I'm definitely going to stay
30:32with my vibe.
30:35I was going to say,
30:36aren't you mostly naked?
30:38Right.
30:38Listen, one,
30:40one, and then...
30:42Let me get the next one.
30:44Put it...
30:44Exactly.
30:46I'm kind of winging it
30:47at this point
30:48because I don't have a plan,
30:50but I will figure it out.
30:54There we go, baby.
30:55Now we're talking.
30:58I don't have a needle
30:59on my machine.
31:00Now, I'm new
31:02to the whole sewing thing,
31:03so do I look out
31:05for my girl
31:05or do I push her aside
31:06and be this
31:07mommy dearest of it all?
31:09Sorry.
31:10May need a needle.
31:12Well,
31:12as they say
31:14on an airplane,
31:14you have to put
31:15your mask on first
31:16before you put
31:16your child's mask on.
31:18Anybody know
31:18how to put in a needle?
31:20Yeah.
31:20Can you help me
31:21on the shirt?
31:22Damn, you really
31:22don't sew, huh?
31:23There's something
31:24about Juicy
31:25that just makes
31:27you want to help her.
31:28This will go
31:29with the flat side
31:30facing forward.
31:31I mean,
31:31she looks like
31:32fucking Bambi.
31:33I just want to
31:34see if it a rouge.
31:35Well,
31:36I think you have
31:36to put a thread
31:37in the machine
31:37before it does anything.
31:42I mean,
31:43it's my first time
31:44putting together
31:45a garment.
31:46My family
31:46is no help
31:47in this situation,
31:48but I sat next
31:48to the right people.
31:49Jane and Didi Fuego
31:50are helping me
31:52tremendously right now.
31:55What would you say
31:55your typical
31:56drag style,
31:57aesthetic performance
31:58is like?
31:59Very vintage-inspired,
32:00but try and give it
32:01enough of a twist
32:02that it doesn't just
32:02feel like I'm dressed
32:03like an old lady.
32:04Yeah.
32:04I am a comedy queen,
32:06but I am also
32:07a huge fan of fashion.
32:09For this challenge,
32:10I have this vision.
32:12It's ambitious.
32:13Like,
32:14Mugler,
32:15Lady Miscure,
32:16Isaac Mizrahi,
32:17unzipped,
32:18Technicolor moment.
32:19I finally locked down
32:24my design ideas.
32:25It is completely
32:26made out of big,
32:26large hats
32:27that go around
32:27my shoulder
32:28and be like very,
32:29you know,
32:29sculptured
32:29and very high fashion.
32:30Do you like this
32:30dramatic shoulder
32:31I'm making?
32:32I do.
32:33I decide to
32:34spray paint my
32:34lovely collar piece,
32:36so I take it outside
32:36to spray paint it gold.
32:38The fucking hats
32:39fall a fucking part.
32:41Shit.
32:42I don't even know
32:42what to fucking do.
32:43Why are you feeling
32:44stressed?
32:44What's wrong?
32:45So I went outside
32:47to, you know,
32:47my little shoulder piece
32:48I was making
32:49to spray paint that shit.
32:51When I was spray paint
32:51and the girl
32:51was literally falling apart.
32:53Why was he falling apart?
32:54Because, I don't know.
32:56Because God hates me right now.
32:58I'm going to have
32:59to rework this whole idea.
33:00There's a chance
33:01that I can be
33:02the pork chop of the season.
33:03There's no way
33:04I'll fucking win
33:04the mini challenge
33:05and I'm about to be
33:06in the bottom.
33:07By the time
33:08the end of the day comes,

33:26I'm not feeling confident
33:27at all about this challenge.
33:29I love to buck up
33:30some pork chops,
33:31but I ain't trying
33:31to be one, baby.

33:42Groundbreaking.
33:43Groundbreaking.
33:43Groundbreaking.
33:45Watching Athena craft
33:46all day yesterday.
33:48Well, that's the thing.
33:48She was going through it.
33:50I helped her.
33:51We all got to work
33:52on our outfits
33:52a little bit more
33:53last night
33:53and me and Athena,
33:54I thought we're having
33:55a great sisterly moment
33:56helping each other.
33:57I would help her
33:58and she would give me
33:59spare materials.
34:00And then when I
34:01didn't have any more
34:01capacity to sew her
34:02some gloves,
34:03she started calling
34:03me a scammer.
34:05Athena, these girls
34:05are talking about you.
34:06I certainly am,
34:07you fucking cow.
34:08Excuse me?
34:09I'm talking about
34:10yesterday when you
34:10wanted me to make
34:11your glove.
34:12Oh, no, no, no.
34:12Don't get it.
34:12I did not want you
34:13to make anything for me.
34:14You wanted all my
34:15supplies, first and foremost.
34:16That is not true
34:16and you are full of shit,
34:17actually.
34:18You kept calling me,
34:19are you going to use that?
34:19Are you going to use this?
34:20And I tried to make
34:21a trade with you.
34:21Then all of a sudden
34:22decided she didn't
34:23need the fabric
34:24so she didn't make
34:24my gloves.
34:25Was it to throw me off
34:26so I didn't walk the runway
34:27with the gloves I wanted?
34:29Are you playing
34:29a dirty game, Briar?
34:30Are you a bad kitty?
34:33Bad kitty, kitty, kitty.
34:35You kept coming to me
34:36for some help
34:36and you asked me
34:37to make you some gloves
34:38so don't you get...
34:38Help and advice
34:39are two separate things.
34:40You could use both
34:40but you want credit
34:42for my whole garment.
34:44Did you help or did you not?
34:45I did help you
34:45but I didn't help
34:46with your taste.
34:47My taste is fabulous.
34:48I had a shower curtain
34:49to work with
34:50and it came out beautiful.
34:51That's more fabric
34:51than I had.
34:52Well, you wear less than me
34:53with more to cover.
34:54I don't know how that works.
34:56Where does she get off?
35:00I worked on my outfit
35:01all night
35:02and I got it to a place
35:05where it's something.
35:08But let me tell you,
35:09I can sell anything.
35:10Bitch, I can sell a plastic bag
35:11to a convenience store.
35:14I will say it felt
35:16really good
35:16to come into
35:17the first challenge
35:18swinging.
35:19I'm really happy
35:20with my look.
35:20I think it's super cute
35:21and it's very on-brand.
35:23So for this design challenge,
35:25I was like,
35:25wait, I'm a bedroom queen.
35:27Sleepover, PJ,
35:28slumber party tees.
35:30I like being crafty.
35:31I'm really confident
35:32in that.
35:32I can turn a look
35:33with a hot glue gun.
35:34But taking a look
35:35around the room,
35:35I'm starting to get
35:36a little insecure about mine.
35:38It's like two things
35:39happening at the same time.
35:40I'm like,
35:40oh, bitch,
35:40I just ate that up
35:41and then looking
35:42around the room
35:42and being like,
35:43oh, did I miss the memo?
35:45But then looking
35:45around the room again
35:46and being like,
35:46oh, no, I did eat it up.
35:47You know what I mean?
35:48It's like you're looking
35:48like, oh, did I?
35:50Did I?
35:50Oh, I did.
35:52I am like,
35:53I do teeter
35:54on obnoxiously confident.
35:55I see that.
35:59So, Miss Athena,
36:00how does it feel
36:01to have your daughter?
36:03Girl, how does it feel
36:04to be competing with her?
36:05It's a weird thing.
36:06It's an adjustment.
36:06We are like best friends
36:08back now.
36:08Yeah, really?
36:09We do everything together.
36:09We travel together.
36:10We work together.

42:25It's the Academy
42:26award-winning

42:28I am bringing
42:29some drama
42:30to the main stage.
42:31I'm wearing curtains
42:32and drapes.
42:33I'm swinging it
42:34like I'm the only girl
42:35on the stage.

42:47Say hello
42:47to Cardi B.
42:48Hi!
42:50Hi!
42:50Now,
42:51I've made
42:51some decisions.
42:55When I call your name,
42:56please step forward.
42:57I am literally shocked.
43:22And you're never
43:23going to convince me
43:23that I was just safe.
43:25You may leave
43:26the stage.
43:27Thanks, Cardi.
43:32Ladykins,
43:33you represent
43:34the tops
43:35and bottoms
43:35of the week.
43:36Now it's time
43:37for the judges' critiques.
43:39Starting with
43:40Kenya Leiser.
43:41You are filled
43:43with stage presence
43:45and personality.
43:46However,
43:47the outfit's rough
43:49on a few levels.
43:50I actually love
43:51the bustier.
43:52I think it's super fun.
43:53But from the waist down,
43:54it just looks sloppy.
43:55It looks lopsided.
43:57The skirt is terrible.
43:58So if you know
43:59that your outfit
43:59is not great,
44:00you just got to go
44:01nice up here.
44:02Glam is very important
44:03for the...
44:05It's true!
44:06It's true!
44:07Yeah, because if the outfit
44:09ain't great,
44:09the glam's got to give.
44:10Right, yes.
44:11Trust me,
44:12I know what I look like.
44:13I know, I know, girl.
44:14You knew we were
44:15going to do
44:15a sewing challenge.
44:16Yeah.
44:17Why did you not
44:18come prepared?
44:19Well, I actually can sew.
44:20I made my interest
44:21look and stuff.
44:21It was the unconventional-ness
44:23of it all
44:23that really threw me
44:24for a fucking loop.
44:25But, you know,
44:25that's what this challenge
44:26is about.
44:27It's about giving you
44:27a situation
44:28where you have to
44:29work it out.
44:30Absolutely.
44:30All right, Kenya,
44:31thank you so much.
44:33Up next,
44:34Nene Coco.
44:34Tell me what your outfit
44:35is made out of.
44:36So I was inspired
44:37by Lala Ri,
44:38and I took some gift bags
44:39and judged them up.
44:41Yeah, you really did
44:41judge them up.
44:42Very polished,
44:43very pretty,
44:44very well accessorized.
44:46Like, I will wear this
44:47outside.
44:47Like, literally,
44:48I will wear this outfit
44:49outside.
44:50I love it.
44:51Also, I think you really
44:52understood the assignment,
44:54reusing and renewing
44:55and rejoicing.
44:55And if I were
44:56a really smart queen,
44:57I would think,
44:58how am I going to stand out?
44:59Let's not make a dress
45:00out of fabric.
45:01Let's make it out of paper.
45:02You know,
45:02it's just so powerful.
45:04It's crisp.
45:04It looks great.
45:06You did it just right.
45:09Up next,
45:10some girls do,
45:11but Jane don't.
45:14This just feels whimsical
45:15and celebratory
45:16and fun.
45:17I can tell
45:18that you can sew.
45:19This jacket
45:20is not easy.
45:21And I really love
45:22the hair.
45:23Like, I just,
45:24I love when people
45:24put effort.
45:26It's tea, girl.
45:27I love it.
45:27I love it.
45:27You did that.
45:28Thank you so much.
45:29When did you learn
45:29how to sew?
45:30My dad taught me
45:31when I was in high school.
45:32Is your dad an alumni
45:33of our television program?
45:35I wish.
45:36He probably would talk to me.
45:38So you don't speak
45:39to your father.
45:40He doesn't speak to you.
45:41He's not great
45:41with, like,
45:41the gay thing.
45:42Why did your father
45:43know how to sew?
45:44He was in,
45:45he was like a boy scout
45:46and he was so tense
45:47in sleeping bags
45:48to go camping.
45:49And now I'm using
45:51those skills
45:52to cross-dress.
45:53Yes.
45:54Well, this is
45:54really well done.
45:56It is absolutely gorgeous.
45:58Um,
45:59to get,
46:00to be able to do this
46:01and have it turn out
46:02and look good
46:03is really, um,
46:05making me
46:05look like a fool.
46:07No, don't,
46:08don't judge yourself
46:08like that.
46:09And you did a great job,
46:10so you should be
46:11very proud of yourself.
46:12Thank you very much.
46:13Appreciate you.
46:14Thank y'all.
46:14Up next,
46:15Juicy Love Dion.
46:17You remind me,
46:18and it's in the best way
46:19possible,
46:19of a cartoon.
46:20Your face is so beautiful
46:22and your eyes
46:23are so wide set.
46:24Absolutely gorgeous.
46:25Okay,
46:25so this is why
46:26it's so important
46:27to learn how to, like,
46:29sell,
46:29because, like,
46:30when you're standing,
46:31it's ugly.
46:33It's just ugly.
46:34But when you went like this,
46:36oh, it's kind of cute.
46:37I like it.
46:38I like it.
46:39I also like
46:39the band out top.
46:40I think the pleating
46:41and the ruching
46:42is really pretty,
46:43but the choker
46:43shortens your neck.
46:45And then the skirt as well,
46:46it doesn't have any volume.
46:47It's a little simple,
46:48the skirt,
46:48like the skirt.
46:50Ugh, girl,
46:50what you think
46:50with that skirt?
46:53You know what I'm saying?
46:54I really hate the skirt,
46:55so ugh.
46:56Up next,
46:57Vita Von T star.
46:59This is glorious.
47:02This is so classy.
47:03Was this whole thing
47:04made with umbrellas?
47:06Yes, ma'am, it was.
47:07I love it.
47:07And the way you have
47:08that one umbrella piece
47:10from your hip down
47:11to your toes
47:12is so pleasing to the eye.
47:14Also,
47:15sewing a geometric fabric
47:17like this
47:17and making it not look
47:19confusing and jumbled
47:20is very difficult to do.
47:22And then like the hair
47:23is perfect
47:24because it's like
47:24the outfit is busy,
47:25but the hair is like,
47:26you know what I'm saying?
47:27Like, I love it.
47:28Tense.
47:29Thank you, Vita.
47:31Up next,
47:32Mandy Mango.
47:33You are adorable,
47:35however,
47:36it's just too rough
47:37around the edges
47:38and a little too messy.
47:40It's kind of uneven
47:41and coming apart.
47:43I think it's all
47:44about editing here
47:44and I think removing
47:45that collar piece
47:46you kind of didn't need.
47:47Those trailing garlands
47:48at the hemline.
47:49The flowers in the bottom
47:50is insane.
47:52Oh my God,
47:52I hate it.
47:54Hurt.
47:55It's bad,
47:56but you're pretty.
47:58Do you have any background
47:59in sewing at all?
48:00I do,
48:00now that I'm working
48:01full-time as a nurse
48:02and in school
48:03getting my master's,
48:04I have a little less
48:05time to do that.
48:06Do you say you're working
48:07full-time as a nurse?
48:08I am.
48:08I specialize in HIV
48:09and LGBTQ sexual health,
48:12so you'll find me
48:12in the clinic
48:13treating all of their gonorrhea.
48:16My day is typically
48:17a nine to five
48:18and then five to nine
48:18I'm wearing something
48:19a lot better than this.
48:21All right,
48:21well thank you very much,
48:22Mandy.
48:24Gosh,
48:24I'm making me
48:25the villain judge.
48:29Thank you, Queens.
48:30While you untuck backstage,
48:32the judges and I
48:33will deliberate.
48:36All right,
48:37now,
48:37just between us
48:38squirrel friends,
48:39what do you think?
48:41Starting with
48:42Kenya Pleaser.
48:43That look was
48:43very bland for me.
48:45It just didn't work.
48:46She could sell
48:47almost anything
48:48except that outfit.
48:51Nini Coco.
48:52She was serving cunt,
48:53she was serving classy,
48:55she was serving queen.
48:56That's not easy
48:57to wear a paper garment.
48:58Like, it could really
48:58look messy.
48:59This really worked.
49:01Jane, don't.
49:02Now that outfit
49:03was constructed.
49:04The bustier,
49:05the dimensionality
49:06of the cup,
49:06everything.
49:07Well done from
49:08a technical standpoint.
49:09And she sure
49:10learned from her dad.
49:11Yeah.
49:11The Oscar de la Renta
49:12of the Boy Scouts.
49:15Juicy love Dion.
49:16I think Juicy
49:17is so beautiful
49:18and I even love
49:19the top.
49:20Like, the skirt
49:20was such a turn off
49:21that it's like,
49:22it almost like
49:23you could have just
49:23do a regular blue panty
49:25and it would have
49:25just go.
49:26Vita Von Teese star.
49:28For a moment,
49:29I forgot it was
49:30a design challenge
49:30where they only had
49:31very limited materials.
49:32It looked like
49:33one of her, like,
49:34best in drag outfits.
49:35It looked expensive.
49:37I can't say
49:37anything bad about it.
49:38It's just everything.
49:39I love it.
49:40Mandy Mango.
49:41So Cardi just said
49:42she didn't have
49:42anything negative
49:43to say about Vita.
49:44Well, I don't have
49:44anything positive
49:45to say about Mandy.
49:47I don't necessarily mind
49:48how she put it together,
49:49you know,
49:50with the hot glue
49:50or whatever.
49:51What I minded
49:51was how messy it was.
49:53I know what that fabric is.
49:54It's like a woven,
49:54like, placemat material.
49:56Yeah.
49:56So it made that skirt
49:57look really bulky
49:58and rumply
49:59like an old paper bag.
50:00But it's not even
50:00the material.
50:01It's the flower placement.
50:03It looked like
50:03she had a time
50:04at Michael's.
50:05It shouldn't even
50:05be looking like that
50:06like, urgh.
50:07It's funny that
50:07she works in sexual health
50:08because she obviously
50:09has an FTD.
50:11And this look
50:12proves it.
50:13Silence.
50:14I have made my decision.
50:16Cardi B,
50:17bring back
50:18my girls.
50:20Where they at?
50:20Honey,
50:24we are trying
50:24to gather ourselves
50:25after our very first critiques
50:26and I'm sitting here
50:28in this Untucked lounge.
50:29I'm very,
50:30very scared
50:30of what my fate
50:31will be today.
50:32Am I going home?
50:35Again,
50:36there are people
50:36that are in the safe room
50:37that I was like,
50:38they could be out there too
50:39on both top
50:40and both bottom.
50:40So I'm like,
50:41it doesn't...
50:42So who do you think
50:42should have been in the bottom?
50:45Lady!
50:46What?
50:46Ah!
50:49Yeah!
50:49Let me introduce
50:52you to the doll!
50:54Oh my god!
50:56Not Tokyo!
50:58Oh my god!
51:00It's not just Cardi.
51:01The whole glam squad
51:02is here today.
51:03Let's go!
51:04Holy cow.
51:06Erica is
51:07Cardi's long-time
51:08makeup artist
51:08and Tokyo Styles
51:09is one of the most
51:10iconic celebrity
51:12wig stylists
51:12in the fucking world.
51:14These are the dolls.
51:15The dolls.
51:15The dolls.
51:16I can't live without them.
51:18Literally.
51:18This is queer art
51:19at its finest
51:20and to have an artist
51:21at your caliber
51:22incorporating our community
51:23into what you do,
51:25thank you.
51:25And I learned a lot
51:26from your community.
51:27Like, I swear to God.
51:28Me watching RuPaul's Drag Race
51:29is how...
51:30Like, I remember
51:30when I first started
51:31my transition,
51:31this is how I learned
51:32how to do makeup.
51:33Hey!
51:33Watching RuPaul's Drag Race.
51:35Okay!
51:35So, and then just
51:36seeing all the looks
51:37and stuff,
51:38it just always inspires me.
51:39Even her, like,
51:39I'd be like,
51:39we should do this
51:40and recreate this
51:41and do it this way.
51:41Like, you know,
51:42sometimes we bring
51:43the culture
51:43to the mainstream hip-hop field.
51:46I don't care if people
51:46feel uncomfortable
51:47or whatever.
51:48Like, I do not care.
51:48I need that right, Dawes.
51:50And the one I got to twist it,
51:51the man will look at her.
51:53It's a two-way.
51:55Automata sculpting,
51:56you know what I'm saying?
51:57Can I ask you
51:59a question, Cardi?
51:59Mm-hmm.
52:00So, all of my sisters
52:01thought I was going
52:01to be in the top.
52:03So, can I know
52:04what you thought about me?
52:07You kind of wear
52:08something that I will wear.
52:09So, yeah.
52:10I like it.
52:11Bitch!
52:12That was my goal!
52:13If Cardi would wear
52:14that outfit,
52:15then why am I safe?
52:17I mean,
52:17if Cardi B said,
52:18Nini,
52:18give me that
52:19orange zip-tied outfit
52:21off of your body,
52:22I would pass away.
52:23I will wear this outfit
52:24outside.
52:25I love it.
52:27I would pass away.
52:29Some girls just did it
52:30better than the others.
52:31That's all.
52:31You know what I'm saying?
52:32I'm not even gonna lie
52:33to you girls.
52:34Like, I might be, like,
52:35the sweetest girl in the world,
52:36but I am a very tough judge.
52:38I don't want y'all to think
52:39that I'm bitchy or anything,
52:41but it's like,
52:42look at my teachers.
52:43Look at my teachers.
52:45I just want to say,
52:47whatever is your faith,
52:47just remember
52:48that it is not the end.
52:50And it's just a lesson,
52:51and, like,
52:52I hope that you guys
52:53take that critique
52:54and, like,
52:55don't get discouraged from it.
52:56Learn from me.
52:57You know what I'm saying?
52:58All right, y'all.
52:59We cannot keep RuPaul waiting.
53:00Y'all are not gonna give me a show
53:01with no damn RuPaul.
53:02Okay, you know what I'm saying?
53:03Sashay away.
53:04Yeah.
53:05Wow.
53:06The party is over,
53:08and it's time to go to the main stage
53:09and find out who won
53:10and who's going home.
53:15Welcome back, queens.
53:16I've made some decisions.
53:19I need you, Jesus.
53:21Nene Coco,
53:22your paper look was money, honey.
53:25Jane Don't,
53:27your suit was a toot.
53:29Vita Von T Star,

53:32made us wet.

53:47Congratulations.
53:51Kenya,
53:52we love your personality,
53:55but your look
53:55was not a pleaser.
53:57Juicy Love Dion,
53:59your face was sitting,
54:02but your look
54:02was ill-fitting.
54:05Mandy Mango,
54:06you're a beautiful queen,
54:08but your floral fixation
54:10left us limp.
54:16This is a lot.
54:17Like, it's a lot.
54:18I'm getting emotional.
54:19Like, I'm so scared.
54:21Tell me about it.
54:24Juicy Love Dion,
54:25you are safe.
54:31You may step
54:32to the back of the stage.
54:34Thank you, Mother.

54:39in this position.
