FunTranscript
00:00:00The battle for drag domination has begun.
00:00:10The time has come to enter the annals of herstory.
00:00:18Do you have what it takes to become the queen of the mother-tucking world?
00:00:23The winner, crowned queen of the mother-tucking world, will receive a cash prize of £50,000.
00:00:36Tonight, with Michelle Visage, Graham Norton, and extra special guest judge, Lorene.
00:00:53Why hello again, Jill.
00:01:03I'm Kate Butch, and I am back with a new jumper, new glasses, and a new hairline.
00:01:09Because it's gone even further back.
00:01:11The fever's gonna get you.
00:01:13Because the Butch is back!
00:01:16Elton John? Anyone?
00:01:19You might remember me as the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Series 5.
00:01:23Heathcliff.
00:01:24It's me.
00:01:25I'm Cathy.
00:01:26And if you do, get your memory checked, because I came fifth.
00:01:29Unbelievable.
00:01:30Am I the only one?
00:01:32Well, I like those odds.
00:01:34On my series, the judges were incredibly complimentary on my comedy, my acting.
00:01:40They were less complimentary on the runways.
00:01:46That was the only thing I got negative critiques on.
00:01:49That and the smell.
00:01:50Wait for other people to arrive.
00:01:53I am ready to take on the world.
00:01:55I will do anything.
00:01:57I'll punch a vicar.
00:01:58I'll kick a dog.
00:01:59I think we're gonna have a camp all time.
00:02:01I'll be nice to Michelle Visage.
00:02:04Oh!
00:02:05Oh!
00:02:06Wings!
00:02:08Who could it possibly be?
00:02:11Fontana in the Casa Baby on the runner-up of Drag Race Sweden Season 1.
00:02:22The Swedish-Brazilian beauty has arrived.
00:02:25Oh, my God.
00:02:27I had so many high points on my season.
00:02:30Winning the makeover challenge and just being in the finale.
00:02:33Bitch, work!
00:02:34Hello!
00:02:35How are you?
00:02:36All right, don't poke me in the eye.
00:02:37I'm Fontana.
00:02:38It's so nice to meet you.
00:02:39I'm Kate.
00:02:40It's so lovely to meet you.
00:02:41I know who you are.
00:02:42I'm a big fan.
00:02:43I was the Britney of the season absolutely out.
00:02:46With the high cakes, splits, and lots of craziness.
00:02:50As the host nation, I would like to officially welcome you.
00:02:54How does it compare to the Swedish one?
00:02:56This is elevated.
00:02:57This is absolutely amazing.
00:02:58We got that RuPaul money, haven't we?
00:02:59All right.
00:03:01This time, I'm bringing the Fontana vision.
00:03:03RuPaul reached a queer kid from the ghetto.
00:03:07This is one of my biggest dreams.
00:03:09I'm freaking out.
00:03:10I'm Brazilian.
00:03:11Yes.
00:03:12But I've been living in Sweden for the past 10 years.
00:03:14Chicka-Tita, tell me what's wrong.
00:03:15Excuse me?
00:03:16Vu le vu.
00:03:18It's Abba, babe.
00:03:19That's your people.
00:03:20Abba, come back.
00:03:21Oh, I know.
00:03:22I'm Latina, and I'm very spicy.
00:03:24If these girls get on my nerves, they better watch out.
00:03:27Would you like a crisp?
00:03:28Please, babe.
00:03:29Yes.
00:03:30Ready, salted.
00:03:31Is that all right?
00:03:32I'm feeling ready, and I cannot wait to show the world the Fontana show.
00:03:36Here we go.
00:03:39Oh, my God.
00:03:40What's happening?
00:03:41Long hair.
00:03:42Is it March Simpson?
00:03:43It's...
00:03:44Oh, my God.
00:03:45Who is it?
00:03:46Oh, my God.
00:03:47Oh, my God.
00:03:49Oh, my God.
00:03:50I am Gotland.
00:03:51Oh, my God.
00:03:52She's shining.
00:03:53And I am...
00:03:54a little bitch from Thailand.
00:03:57Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:58You wanna fight?
00:04:00I'mma punch your face down, baby!
00:04:03Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:04:05Eeeh!
00:04:06Eeeh!
00:04:07Eeeh!
00:04:08Do we need to call security?
00:04:09Eeeh!
00:04:10Eeeh!
00:04:11Eeeh!
00:04:12I'm frightened.
00:04:13Eeeh!
00:04:14Eeeh!
00:04:15Eeeh!
00:04:16I'm joking.
00:04:17She's tiny.
00:04:18I could push her over very easily.
00:04:19Eeeh!
00:04:20Eeeh!
00:04:21I was in Drag Race Thailand season three.
00:04:24And how did you do?
00:04:25Top three.
00:04:26Eeeeh!
00:04:28Eeeh!
00:04:29My favorite moment in my season is definitely
00:04:32having two wins, makeover challenge, and
00:04:35Brucey Goal.
00:04:36Hmm.
00:04:37If you come to my show, you're gonna see the stunts.
00:04:40Ah!
00:04:41And definitely you're gonna see the skin.
00:04:43Michelle, I'm sorry, but I love to rely on my body
00:04:47because I got a good one!
00:04:48Ha, ha, ha.
00:04:49Are you gonna be big competition? Are we gonna go Thailand against Sweden, Brazil up in here?
00:04:54Tana, I don't think that we're gonna go against each other. Let's shop the colonizers!
00:05:01Getting this call to be here in the UK is the biggest opportunity ever.
00:05:08I'll show you Thai drag X-Lens.
00:05:12Oh, it's happening. It's happening again.
00:05:16Oh my god! Oh my god! Security!
00:05:21Oh my god!
00:05:23Wow!
00:05:25Picked it off!
00:05:27Yeah! It's Zahaira.
00:05:29No way.
00:05:30From RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 6.
00:05:33Za, za, za, Zahaira.
00:05:36It's like a love a lot.
00:05:38Like a spindly spider!
00:05:40Wow!
00:05:41I was supposed to be the beauty of the season.
00:05:44Ah!
00:05:45We're the ugly ones at. Can we please get an ugly one?
00:05:47Right, come over here, you bastard!
00:05:49Come over here!
00:05:51To what I know!
00:05:53I am best known just being really loud and beautiful and incredible and really humble.
00:05:59How did you do in your season?
00:06:00I was 10th place, you know?
00:06:02But, I'm rewriting 10th place right here right now.
00:06:06The first go round, the old Zahaira was just happy to be there.
00:06:10This time around, I am really gunning for that crowd.
00:06:14I'm gonna be here till the end.
00:06:15Catch me every episode and be sick of me.
00:06:17I'm here to win.
00:06:19Two UK winners back to back.
00:06:21Let's take a third one.
00:06:22Ooh!
00:06:23We're done with a British win.
00:06:24Uh-huh.
00:06:25It's time for something new.
00:06:26Well, you can use your wings and fly back.
00:06:28No!
00:06:29I'm ready.
00:06:30You better work, bitch.
00:06:31We'll see.
00:06:32I don't really care what the other girls think.
00:06:35I'm continuing on my story and I'm gonna get that crown.
00:06:39Oh!
00:06:40Oh!
00:06:41What's happening?
00:06:42What shape is that?
00:06:43So tall!
00:06:44Oh, it's coming.
00:06:45Oh!
00:06:46Oh!
00:06:47Oh!
00:06:48Oh!
00:06:49Oh my God!
00:06:50God work!
00:06:51What?
00:06:52Wow!
00:06:53Wow!
00:06:54Guten Morgen!
00:06:55Drag Race Germany come through!
00:06:58My name is the only Naomi.
00:07:00Wer das liest, ist dumm.
00:07:02I don't speak a word in German, but it sounded fabulous.
00:07:06Naomi is blonde, pretty, basic, and sometimes a little bit of a bitch.
00:07:12Good morning!
00:07:13Yeah!
00:07:14The only Naomi?
00:07:15Yes, that's what they call me.
00:07:16I am one of the many Ks.
00:07:18Am I a fashion queen?
00:07:20I don't know.
00:07:21I will let you be the judge of that, but I will claim the best muck in Germany.
00:07:26That's what we do.
00:07:28How did you do?
00:07:29Very good.
00:07:30I was runner-up.
00:07:31Wow!
00:07:32From the bottom.
00:07:35My elimination set the internet on fire.
00:07:38It is what it is.
00:07:39They all thought I was robbed, so thank you for sending me home so early, because now I'm back.
00:07:45What are you going to do differently then?
00:07:47I bring a helmet.
00:07:48What does it say?
00:07:49I say to see.
00:07:50What does that mean?
00:07:51Yeah, that's basically someone who's over-obsessed with their appearance, but not very smart, so I thought it was fitting.
00:07:56Oh, yay, I'm not the dumb queen that sees it.
00:08:00Yeah!
00:08:01Am I ready to take on the world?
00:08:02Oh!
00:08:03Is she fitting?
00:08:04Oh!
00:08:05There's no going back now.
00:08:06Ah!
00:08:07It fits you!
00:08:08Yeah!
00:08:09Yeah, let's go.
00:08:10Let's do it.
00:08:11I'm ready.
00:08:13Oh!
00:08:14Oh!
00:08:15Oh!
00:08:16Oh!
00:08:17Oh!
00:08:18Oh!
00:08:19Body!
00:08:20Atom!
00:08:21Oh!
00:08:22Oh!
00:08:23Yes!
00:08:24Yes!
00:08:25Hi, I'm Mariah Balenciaga from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3 and All Stars 5.
00:08:30Bitch!
00:08:31Oh my god!
00:08:32Bitch!
00:08:33And I'm the only OG that still doesn't have fillers.
00:08:36The mug is back, stacked, and ready to attack.
00:08:40Yes!
00:08:41Oh my god!
00:08:43No, I'm goofed!
00:08:44Oh, I definitely know who this one is, because who wouldn't know Mariah?
00:08:47She's ancient.
00:08:49Good morrow!
00:08:52Good morrow to you!
00:08:54I don't know what country that's from, but I know it's delicious.
00:08:57It feels like Shakespeare as well.
00:08:59I've been doing drag for 25 years.
00:09:02Hey!
00:09:03It's been 15 years since my original season.
00:09:06Five years since All Stars.
00:09:08You could say I'm a big deal.
00:09:10My drag aesthetic is femme fatale, sex, and glamour.
00:09:15Raya, I gotta say, you were the first season that I ever watched.
00:09:19You're like, honestly, one of my inspirations in drag.
00:09:22If I had two ducks, y'all would make me cry.
00:09:26I really never thought I was gonna say yes again.
00:09:28But the fact that it's the international season, well, that's a whole other challenge.
00:09:32We all know who you are.
00:09:34Do you actually recognize some of us?
00:09:36You know, I say this at the bars all the time.
00:09:39That's such a rude question to ask.
00:09:41Look, you can ask my age.
00:09:45Just don't ask if I remember you.
00:09:48The girls may think they know who I am.
00:09:51Prepare to gag on my eleganza.
00:09:53But I'm here to prove that an older bitch can learn new tricks.
00:10:00Oh, oh, come on!
00:10:01Oh, oh, here we go.
00:10:03Oh, let's go to the back.
00:10:04Oh!
00:10:06No!
00:10:07You're lying!
00:10:09Oh!
00:10:10Hi, I'm Sminty Drop.
00:10:11Get out!
00:10:12The Manchester mannequin is not panicking anymore.
00:10:15She is back and hotter than ever, honey.
00:10:18Consider your jaw dropped.
00:10:24Describing my drag in a few words would be face of a supermodel, brain of a supernoodle.
00:10:33Hi!
00:10:34I'm so happy to see my father, my just a girl.
00:10:38I'm so happy to see you all.
00:10:39I'm so happy that I've got some new sisters as well.
00:10:41Also, can I bum a stick off anyone?
00:10:44Let's go.
00:10:45I left my card at home.
00:10:47I was probably best known for looking amazing.
00:10:51I was in the top for the design challenge.
00:10:52I was in the top for the looks challenge.
00:10:54And most importantly, I was known for my iconic sad twerk.
00:10:59I didn't win a single badge though, so hopefully this time around that can change.
00:11:08Do us a happy twerk.
00:11:09Go on.
00:11:10Happy twerk.
00:11:11Yay!
00:11:12Yay!
00:11:13I am ready to be queen of the Molotokin' world!
00:11:18Ooh, got a massage chair going here.
00:11:22Oh, go!
00:11:23Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:11:24Who is it?
00:11:27Oh, here we go!
00:11:30Here we go!
00:11:31Hi, I am Minty Fresh, the face of Drag Race Philippines.
00:11:36You like what you see?
00:11:37I know you do.
00:11:40Wake up world, it's time to freshen up.
00:11:43I know Minty and she is drag icon legend.
00:11:50Hi, Philippines!
00:11:52Hi, I'm Minty.
00:11:53Minty Fresh.
00:11:54Our names are pretty similar.
00:11:56There might be a little bit of confusion there.
00:11:58Yeah, Minty without the S.
00:12:00I placed top five.
00:12:01I was robbed for a spot in the finale.
00:12:04Minty Fresh, I'm sorry, this is not your time.
00:12:08That's why I'm here, to claim what's mine.
00:12:10We're like your highs, your lows.
00:12:12What should we be scared of?
00:12:13That's a secret.
00:12:15Well, I know, I know how she did.
00:12:16Am I gonna spell?
00:12:18She won her talent show.
00:12:21And you also won a ball, right?
00:12:23Yeah.
00:12:24I know what she can do.
00:12:25She's got some cards and she's keeping them very close to her chest.
00:12:28So I'm keeping my eye out on that one.
00:12:30We have Marina Summer and she did great.
00:12:32As a Filipino, do you feel like you are comparing to her?
00:12:36Well, we're very different, but I'll try to take revenge for my sister.
00:12:41Well, if you're taking revenge for a fallen sister, can I be the first one to offer you my seat?
00:12:47Drag industry in the Philippines is a powerhouse.
00:12:50We're not just the look.
00:12:53The Filipino queens should dominate the world.
00:12:57Oh, gosh.
00:12:59Oh, my God, who is it?
00:13:01Oh!
00:13:02Hello, babes.
00:13:03I am Serena Morena from Drag Race Mexico.
00:13:13I'm gonna pray for these sinners.
00:13:16Wow.
00:13:17But first, let's have a fiesta.
00:13:20In Drag Race Mexico, I came in eighth place.
00:13:26My best moment is the musical, the girl group band.
00:13:30But I think that I got eliminated for some of my runway looks.
00:13:36This season, I bring amazing looks.
00:13:39You're gonna say, oh, my God, fucking Serena, I love her.
00:13:46Can you tell us a little bit about the Mexican scene?
00:13:48Mexican drag is so crazy.
00:13:50It's a lot of colors.
00:13:51So I invite you to come to my Mexico country.
00:13:56Let's go now.
00:13:57We'll be right behind you.
00:13:59This second chance is a dream come true because I have the opportunity to show more of Serena.
00:14:07What kind of drag do you do?
00:14:09I'm a comedy and sensual queen.
00:14:11That's my drag.
00:14:13Sensual?
00:14:15It's an orgasm to be here.
00:14:18So when you have an orgasm, you need to enjoy it.
00:14:22On your fast season, you were judged by Valentina?
00:14:25Yes.
00:14:26Sashay de marchas.
00:14:29How do you feel now that you're gonna be judged by Mama Ru?
00:14:31Better, of course.
00:14:35Wait, so how many of us haven't been judged by RuPaul here?
00:14:38Me.
00:14:39Are you guys nervous to meet Ru?
00:14:40I am dying.
00:14:41Ru is my absolute biggest inspiration.
00:14:44I'm like shaking, puking.
00:14:46I need to tell everyone I live with severe anxiety.
00:14:49One of the symptoms I have is that I puke.
00:14:52So I might scream buckets at any point.
00:14:56And if they don't bring me, I'll have to puke in one of you.
00:14:59Just so you know.
00:15:01Do what you need to do to cope, girl.
00:15:03I don't mind holding her hair back as long as she gets it in the bucket.
00:15:06Oh my god!
00:15:09Oh my god!
00:15:11Oh my god!
00:15:13What the hell is that?
00:15:15Oh my god!
00:15:17Oh my god!
00:15:18Oh my god!
00:15:19Bonjour, hi, world.
00:15:23This is Melinda Verga from Cannabis Drag Race Season 4.
00:15:27With gratitude!
00:15:28With gratitude!
00:15:30I shoot, I score.
00:15:36It's Melinda, bloody Verga!
00:15:39She better start a fight with someone.
00:15:41I hope it's not me.
00:15:43There's going to be some drama this season!
00:15:45I'm best known for my world-famous meltdown.
00:15:52Roll the tape.
00:15:53This person here showed kindness on that fucking stage!
00:15:57And I needed to reciprocate that with gratitude!
00:16:01And that's why I said, I'm doing a lot of Melinda!
00:16:05Yes, I am emotional.
00:16:06And yes, sometimes I can be blunt.
00:16:09Fuck this!
00:16:10But inside, there's that deep well of compassion.
00:16:12Melinda, and what you gonna do better than in your first season?
00:16:18I'm hoping that the mug is a lot better than my season.
00:16:21People first got to know Melinda Verga and, um, she was what?
00:16:24Busted.
00:16:25Who invited her?
00:16:27But hopefully my eleganza will gag you this season.
00:16:31Sorry, I know you are, like, one of my best neighbors.
00:16:34I'm not familiar with your season.
00:16:36What kind of drag do you do?
00:16:38I do tricks, I do stunts, I dance, I act, I sing.
00:16:43I met Mariah in L.A., girl.
00:16:46She just might not remember me because she's old.
00:16:49Are you older than her?
00:16:51I am older than her.
00:16:55You're stunning!
00:16:55I'm here to prove that I deserve that crown and that scepter and be the queen of the mother-talking world!
00:17:12Fuck!
00:17:13Oh, who that is?
00:17:16Oh my god, who that is?
00:17:17Oh my god.
00:17:18Oh my god.
00:17:19Oh my god!
00:17:20Oh my god.
00:17:21Oh my god!
00:17:23Could this be RuPaul?
00:17:26RuPaul is here!
00:17:31Oh my god.
00:17:32RuPaul!
00:17:34RuPaul is here!
00:17:43Ah!

00:18:3650,000 pounds.
00:18:39I don't know what that is in euros,
00:18:41but it's probably a lot more.
00:18:42So I'll take that.
00:18:44Cha-ching!

00:19:36Back home!
00:19:37Oh, my God.
00:19:38Oh, my God.
00:19:39Where are my nice things?
00:19:40That's K for Katherine.
00:19:41Welcome to our house.
00:19:42Oh, my God.
00:19:43We're inside the TV.
00:19:44It feels amazing to be back in the UK workroom.
00:19:45And I'll be this one!
00:19:46And I'll be this one!
00:19:47And I'll be this one!
00:19:48And I'll be this one!
00:19:49And I'll be this one!
00:20:09I'm happy to host.
00:20:10I'll hand out some little volubons.
00:20:11Cheese and pineapple hedgehog.
00:20:12Jujubee, are you hiding here somewhere?
00:20:15It's so heavy!
00:20:16Oh my god, I'm a man!
00:20:23Stephanie!
00:20:25I promised myself I wouldn't compare myself to other queens.
00:20:28Am I doing it in this moment?
00:20:30Yes, 100%.
00:20:32Am I a little bit threatened by all of them?
00:20:34Yes, but I think that just goes to show how good these queens are.
00:20:39And that makes me just all the more excited to compete with them.
00:20:41Hi, neighbor.
00:20:42Hi, neighbor.
00:20:43How do you say mother in German?
00:20:45Mutter.
00:20:46Mutter.
00:20:46Don't come to.
00:20:47You're welcome, my child.
00:20:48And how do I say non-binary?
00:20:49Non-binary.
00:20:50Non-binary.
00:20:51German is so easy.
00:20:51Baby, non-binary is universal.
00:20:53I got great hand right now, okay?
00:20:55What are your pronouns out of drag?
00:20:56I just want to ask right away.
00:20:57Yes.
00:20:57He, she, thai.
00:20:59So you're not particular with anything?
00:21:00No, what I know actually is that I'm not a boy, so I would call myself as non-binary.
00:21:05And I have so many trans friends, and people actually think they rape me in society as a trans girl.
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:10And I feel honored.
00:21:11That's how I would have perceived you.
00:21:13Everyone, that's the most asked question in my life.
00:21:15Are you a boy or a girl?
00:21:17I consider myself non-binary.
00:21:19Oh, yes.
00:21:19How about you?
00:21:20I just go with he, him out of drag.
00:21:22Like, call me whatever, as long as you call me.
00:21:24Please call me.
00:21:25Oh, my God.
00:21:32We are Filipinas.
00:21:33It's the Philippines versus the world.
00:21:35Period.
00:21:35No, no, it's like UK versus Philippines versus the world.
00:21:39Exactly.
00:21:40Yeah.
00:21:47Now, being from the UK, you know some of the girls.
00:21:50There's a couple of us.
00:21:51Yeah.
00:21:52I don't want that friends with them.
00:21:54You're not?
00:21:55I've not been around me house.
00:21:56This time around, I'm definitely going to be more competitive.
00:22:00I'm not normally a pusher, but I am getting a temperature of the room.
00:22:07Typically, UK girls outnumber everybody else.
00:22:11True.
00:22:11What are you asking?
00:22:12Well, there's red, white, and blue in y'all's flag, and there's red, white, and blue in our flag.
00:22:17Oh.
00:22:17I am spreading my eggs around.
00:22:20I don't want them all in one basket.
00:22:23And the UK partners with US.
00:22:28Well, just leave it with me.
00:22:29Leave it with me.
00:22:30I'll do some asking around.
00:22:31I'll have a little chat.
00:22:33What I think I'm overhearing with my dainty little ears is that Mariah wants an alliance.
00:22:43Smith, did you want to call us summit of the UK?
00:22:45There's much food for thought here.
00:22:49I've been approached by one lady, Mariah Balenciaga.
00:22:53She thinks that we are probably already in an alliance.
00:22:56Right.
00:22:57Firstly, what are we doing amongst ourselves?
00:23:00Well, I know that I've definitely got both your backs.
00:23:02I've got your backs.
00:23:03I've got your backs.
00:23:04And speaking of backs, I will be needing your help from one of you to shave my shoulders tomorrow.
00:23:08Right.
00:23:09Right.
00:23:10She's good with her.
00:23:11This UK alliance, you know what?
00:23:13The strategies are already started, girls.
00:23:16If we're in, like, an official capital A alliance, does that make us a target?
00:23:23I think we're a target anyway.
00:23:25I think it would be wise of us three to have each other's backs, but to also scope out who we also think is a very strong competitor.
00:23:35And rather than competing against them, we compete with them.
00:23:39And the other ones out.
00:23:41And make our way to the top together.
00:23:42I really want to win this competition, but I don't want to be ruthless.
00:23:47Play it smart, play it hard, and if you've got to, play it a little bit dirty.
00:23:52I just don't know if I want to completely commit to an alliance.
00:23:56I think we should bide our time, see what the song contest brings.
00:24:00That'll separate the weight from the chaff, I reckon.
00:24:02Exactly.
00:24:03And if either of you do a chaff, I should be cross.
00:24:06At the end of the day, there can only be one winner.
00:24:10It's every cross-dresser for themselves.
00:24:11Today, we are getting ready for our maxi challenge, which is the Ruru Vision Song Contest!
00:24:38Do you want to sit next to me, Sminty?
00:24:40Not really, but I will.
00:24:41I'll teach you how to do make-up!
00:24:45In my original season, I don't have the opportunity to do my talent show.
00:24:50So, it's going to be amazing, because it's in front of Rupaul.
00:24:54It's time to show what I'm made of.
00:24:56Chaguitos!
00:25:01Mariah, you've been in the game for 25 years.
00:25:03I was a little toddler when you started doing drag.
00:25:05That's nice.
00:25:06Well, you are a mother, honestly.
00:25:07See what you've, uh, what you've inspired.
00:25:09I'm so sorry.
00:25:09Little Mariah.
00:25:10How have you seen the LGBTQ culture, the drag industry change?
00:25:17It's definitely mainstream now.
00:25:19Mainstreaming gives everybody a larger voice, and you're not in the shadows, and you're not
00:25:24hiding.
00:25:24With the success of drag queens, do you think that has anything to do with the backlash
00:25:31now that we're facing?
00:25:32Well, for a while, it seemed like we were safe, and we were moving in the right direction.
00:25:37But when bigoted people feel like their chokehold is being challenged, they kind of feel desperate,
00:25:45and they start to act out harder and louder.
00:25:47Right.
00:25:47The fact that basic civil rights, human rights are being repealed is baffling to me.
00:25:53There seems to be yet another cultural war happening.
00:25:56Being in the U.S. is in my face on a day-to-day.
00:26:00I feel like we have reverted back to the freaking dark ages.
00:26:06I always say I've always been a bully of the bullies.
00:26:09When you really care about what you're doing and the community you're doing it in, I think
00:26:13it's kind of obligatory to, like, be the voice and push back for the community that helped
00:26:19create you and support you.
00:26:21To be here all together with all these queens from all over the globe shows that we're never
00:26:26going anywhere.
00:26:27You know, I'm going to make that rhyme.
00:26:29Honestly.
00:26:30We're clear.
00:26:31We're clear.
00:26:32We're not going anywhere.
00:26:33Period.
00:26:39Do you know how to do a British accent?
00:26:41Hi.
00:26:42Good morning.
00:26:43It's Minty.
00:26:44Yeah.
00:26:45Can you teach us how to do a British accent?
00:26:49You want to know how to do a British accent?
00:26:52Say, my hair is frazzled.
00:26:56My hair is frazzled.
00:26:59That's great.
00:27:00That's great.
00:27:01That's great.
00:27:02That's funny.
00:27:03You'll be saying that later.
00:27:04It's the first Maxi Challenge, the Ru Ru Vision Song Contest.
00:27:08Are we feeling confident?
00:27:09Yeah.
00:27:10Are we feeling ready?
00:27:11Let's do it.
00:27:12And I am absolutely buzzing.
00:27:14Are we going to turn this competition out for mother?
00:27:18Yeah.
00:27:19It's crazy.
00:27:20It definitely won't be Neil Poir today.
00:27:23Hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop.
00:27:25Hey, girl.
00:27:26Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:27:46Como, girl, put the bass in your walk
00:27:49Head to toe, let's try hard by the time
00:27:52Hey, girl!
00:27:54And what?
00:27:55Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. The World.
00:28:00I think we have our first member of the jury on the line, Michelle Visage.
00:28:05Representing the country of New Jersey where our motto is,
00:28:08Your ass is mint.
00:28:13International treasure Graham Norton.
00:28:15Now, you are also the UK's commentator on the lesser known Eurovision song concept.
00:28:22How does our RuRuVision compare?
00:28:26Well, this one's a lot less gay.
00:28:33And our extra special guest, two-time Eurovision winner, Lorene.
00:28:39Thanks, RuRu. Is it too late for me to enter RuRuVision?
00:28:43Well, I'll let you know at the end.
00:28:46This week we challenged our queens to do their country proud
00:28:50at the RuRuVision Song Contest.

00:30:52This performance has been something of a health and safety nightmare for the organizers.

00:42:30To stand within ten feet of you.
00:42:32Last time I did my best
00:42:34My drag was big and bold
00:42:36But then I got sent home
00:42:39By a fucking nineteen-year-old
00:42:41The whole thing was a farce
00:42:45But this time I won't be eclipsed
00:42:48By Ginger Johnson's massive talent.
00:42:50And maybe this time
00:42:53Maybe this time
00:42:55I won't be shit
00:42:56This is the chance for Kate Butch to take over
00:43:00As long as there isn't another makeover
00:43:02Alan and Graham will put me in front
00:43:04Insert name of guest judge
00:43:05You seem like a dream
00:43:06I won't make such a mess of this hell
00:43:08If you can't love yourself
00:43:09Then just blame Michelle
00:43:10I won't live this season so mentally ill
00:43:12If Rupaul will pay for my therapy bill
00:43:14Or maybe this time
00:43:17Perhaps on this occasion
00:43:19Possibly today
00:43:21I won't be shoved to the side
00:43:24Required to hide
00:43:25I'll show you my talents
00:43:26I'll fill you with pride
00:43:27My time I will bite
00:43:28I won't step aside
00:43:29If this goes to shit
00:43:30I'll commit to working even harder to impress you
00:43:32But if I am shit
00:43:35There's worse things to be
00:43:38Let everyone else
00:43:40Oh yes, let everyone else
00:43:42I just need everyone else
00:43:45To be shitter than me
00:43:48And half of them are doing that already
00:43:53Yes
00:43:55Pitch perfect
00:44:02Pitch tone perfection
00:44:06And funny
00:44:07How do I get down from here?
00:44:09And finally, Mexico
00:44:11Now this act has an unfortunate habit
00:44:13Of falling into the audience
00:44:15When she performs
00:44:16Watch out, Rupaul
00:44:17With an illuminating song
00:44:19This is Serena Morena
00:44:21The night is finally here
00:44:26I'm going to please myself
00:44:30And for today I'm releasing
00:44:34A beautiful plaything
00:44:36They call it
00:44:37Deliberito
00:44:38It's silicone
00:44:40I know
00:44:42But it feels rude enough
00:44:46It's ready on my bed
00:44:49It looks very great
00:44:51And it starts
00:44:53To be great
00:44:55Deliberito
00:44:59It's in two batteries
00:45:01Something doesn't work anymore
00:45:06Now what I'm looking for
00:45:10It's very tough
00:45:12Fire!
00:45:13Fire!
00:45:14Manic...
00:45:17Now I feel terrible
00:45:24It's unstoppable
00:45:26Oh my gosh
00:45:27I want it out
00:45:30And it's not coming now
00:45:34Put this in the floor
00:45:38Mom, don't open the door.
00:45:41Honey, girl.
00:45:47Mom, don't open the door.
00:45:56Serena, a girl after my own heart.
00:45:59Girl, you can leave that at my station.
00:46:08Category is for queen and country.
00:46:13Up first, Fontana.
00:46:16This look is inspired by my favorite thing about Sweden.
00:46:19Ebba, the dancing queen has arrived.
00:46:22Mamma mia, here we go again.
00:46:27Did you know that the queen of Sweden is Brazilian?
00:46:30So come on, step aside.
00:46:32There's a new queen taking over the throne.
00:46:35You spin me right crown, right crown, baby.
00:46:39Right crown.
00:46:40I am shaking the house down.
00:46:42I am pretending I do this every day,
00:46:44but bitch, we're doing this in front of RuPaul.
00:46:47I can see the crown, Fernando.
00:46:53Up next, Gaudlin.
00:46:55This look is appetizing.
00:46:59I am serving you tom yum kum soup,
00:47:02but it's lobster because it's luxury.
00:47:06Oh, my God, I've created a lobster.
00:47:11I am so proud that I am able to bring Thai food
00:47:15to the international stage.
00:47:18Give her a round of applause.
00:47:21My body is rhinestone.
00:47:23Even my claw is rhinestone.
00:47:25Oh!
00:47:28Pinch her?
00:47:29I don't even know her.
00:47:32And I have this pot on my head.
00:47:34The soup is splashing out of the pot.
00:47:37Wow.
00:47:38Let's taste this.
00:47:40Listen, if you can't be shellfish,
00:47:41who are you going to be?
00:47:42Somebody else?
00:47:47Up next, Zahaira Zapanta.
00:47:50She's a big fan of TikTok.
00:47:51She is.
00:47:53The concept for my queen and country look
00:47:54is the big fan.
00:47:56She's ahead of her time.
00:47:59I am serving gilded gold.
00:48:02The bodice is inspired by Queen Victoria
00:48:04because the big fan was created during her reign.
00:48:09Show me where the big hand touched you.
00:48:12Each and every watch is pointing at 3 o'clock.
00:48:16My time on UK vs. the World season what?
00:48:193.
00:48:21The only kind of Ben I want is a big Ben.
00:48:26Up next, Melinda Verga.
00:48:29She's all ready for the Calgary Stampede.
00:48:32Let's go, girls.
00:48:34My runway is inspired by our cowboy culture in Alberta, Canada.
00:48:41This runway ain't big enough for the two of us.
00:48:44I am fringe darling from head to toe.
00:48:48What's on my arms and legs?
00:48:49Fringe, fringe, fringe.
00:48:52Maybe leave her alone.
00:48:55I know I look good.
00:48:57I am bling bling bling bling bling in.
00:49:00You can see me all the way from Calgary, Alberta.
00:49:03Yee-haw!
00:49:05Tell Celine we love her.
00:49:07Yes.
00:49:10Up next, the only Naomi.
00:49:12Naomi.
00:49:14Ooh, you better church.
00:49:16I'm wearing this beautiful 3D printed cologne cathedral.
00:49:21And I'm soaking up every second of this.
00:49:25Forgive me, mother, for I have sinned.
00:49:28I'm really feeling my gothic energy.
00:49:32I can't help but rub these towers, baby.
00:49:35She's got quite the set of staples.
00:49:39And when I turn around, there's the beautiful German flag with our First Amendment written on it.
00:49:47Somebody's taking her up the aisle.
00:49:48Oh, yeah.
00:49:50This is so awesome.
00:49:52Standing in front of Mama Ru is such a sweet moment.
00:49:57And I couldn't be more proud to represent Germany on this stage.
00:50:02Up next, Mariah Palenciaga.
00:50:05I wonder if she knows under these bright lights we can see a little bit of facial hair.
00:50:08No!
00:50:10My queen and country look is representing the real history of what truly makes America great, the black cowboy.
00:50:18And I am here to teach the children.
00:50:20Ooh, somebody's giving mustache rides.
00:50:22Yeah.
00:50:24The stache is my invitation to anybody out there.
00:50:27Save a horse, ride a mustache.
00:50:30Whip it, baby.
00:50:31Whip it real good.
00:50:32Yes!
00:50:34Normally when I do runways, they're more glamorous and a little bit more reserved.
00:50:38So this one, I'm having a little bit more fun and my more sluttier side.
00:50:43Hold your horses.
00:50:48Up next, Sminty Drop.
00:50:50I chose this look because all of the swans in the UK are protected by the royal family.
00:50:57I'm serving you swan eleganza.
00:51:01Swan-der-ful.
00:51:03I'm literally cinched within an inch of my life.
00:51:08But I'm still waddling down here like a little duck.
00:51:11Room service, my duvet is just an empty sack.
00:51:15You've heard of Swan Lake, but have you ever heard of Swan Fake Tan?
00:51:18I've got shimmery tanned oil all over my arms.
00:51:23So this could go from white to beige real quick.
00:51:26Ladies and gentlemen, the new bird flew.
00:51:29The judges are gagged.
00:51:36They have never seen anything this gorgeous.
00:51:38And they've definitely not seen it tonight until now.
00:51:42Minty Fresh.
00:51:44This isn't a patch on our other dress.
00:51:46For my queen and country look, my inspiration was the thrift shops in the Philippines.
00:51:53The Philippines.
00:51:54We call it the ukay ukay.
00:51:56Well, she's on the rag.
00:51:58I just had to, guys.
00:52:01When I was starting drag, the ukay ukay shops were my main source of fashionable pieces.
00:52:07It's like a full circle moment bringing ukay ukay to the UK.
00:52:12She's a material girl.
00:52:14Definitely.
00:52:16It's a very traditional silhouette in my country.
00:52:20It's funny.
00:52:22I love it so much.
00:52:23This is one of the most meaningful looks that I brought.
00:52:26Ah, to live the sample life.
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:32Up next, Serena Morena.
00:52:35Now that's a sleeve.
00:52:39I'm serving on this first runway a traditional Mexican look.
00:52:45It's called Danza de los Matlachines.
00:52:48Yes, she Mexican.
00:52:52It's a big headpiece with a lot of feathers.
00:52:55I'm feeling sensual.
00:52:57Like a goddess.
00:52:59Showing them my virgin of Guadalupe.
00:53:02Well, she can never sneak up on anybody in this outfit.
00:53:05No.
00:53:07This full look represents all about Mexico.
00:53:10So, I'm very proud.
00:53:12I'm very excited to wear it.
00:53:14To walk in this main stage.
00:53:16Viva Mexico!
00:53:19Kate Butch.
00:53:21You know, God hates flags.
00:53:23Yeah.
00:53:25I am wearing a Vivienne Westwood inspired dress, which represents Britain's colonial past.
00:53:33Drag is political.
00:53:35And this is making a statement.
00:53:37Bloody hell.
00:53:39The blood on my hands shows the terrible things that we have done to countries all around the world.
00:53:44I've got pearl earrings for the pearl trade.
00:53:47Oh, I hate it when they leave the pole in.
00:53:49This dress is made from vintage flags.
00:53:54It's weathered.
00:53:56It's battered.
00:53:57It's not pretty.
00:53:58But it is stunning.
00:53:59It's not pretty.
00:54:00But it is stunning.
00:54:05Welcome ladies.
00:54:06Ladies.
00:54:07When I call your name, please step forward.
00:54:10Zahaira Zapanta.
00:54:14Melinda Verga.
00:54:16Mariah Valenciaga.
00:54:18Minty Fresh.
00:54:21Serena Morena.
00:54:23You are all safe.
00:54:27You may leave the stage.
00:54:31Queens.
00:54:32In the spirit of getting to know you better, no one will be going home tonight.
00:54:47You represent the tops of the week.
00:54:52Thank God.
00:54:54I'm not in the bottom.
00:54:55I'm in the top.
00:54:56I did it.
00:54:57Mom, do you see this?
00:54:59I did it.
00:55:01And later tonight, I will choose two of you to lip sync for the win.
00:55:07And the others will be left behind to wash my car.
00:55:10Now it's time for the judges critique, starting with Fontana.
00:55:17As we all know, Sweden very good at the Eurovision.
00:55:21And it turns out Sweden very good at the Ruruvision.
00:55:25You threw everything at it.
00:55:29I thought in a minute there will be tea and coffee making facilities.
00:55:32Does she do laundry?
00:55:34And then you come out in this look and I'm like, yes she does.
00:55:36There's a spin drive facility.
00:55:37I've been watching you for a while.
00:55:40It started in Sweden.
00:55:42And what I love about you is your strong spirit.
00:55:45I can see that you believe in yourself.
00:55:48That will take you very, very long, my love.
00:55:50This look tonight is very ABBA.
00:55:52The crown represents...
00:55:54Dancing Queen, my favorite song.
00:55:55It's adorable.
00:55:57And you are adorable.
00:55:58So I look forward to what else she got.
00:56:00So tell me about your song.
00:56:01I wrote this song.
00:56:02We just wanted an anthem.
00:56:04Everyone has been oppressed.
00:56:05When we fight back, people don't like that.
00:56:08And I'm here tonight.
00:56:10It's been my biggest dream to be here and to get here.
00:56:13The journey wasn't easy.
00:56:15So I want to tell everyone out there.
00:56:17But now we're making thunder.
00:56:19So let's be stronger together.
00:56:21All right, well thank you very much.
00:56:24Up next.
00:56:26Yes, Godland.
00:56:27That number was pure energy.
00:56:31The highlight was when you took that sparkler gun and you shot it at us.
00:56:38Super dramatic.
00:56:39And then you shot it in your mouth.
00:56:40I was a bit scared.
00:56:42We do not recommend you do this at home.
00:56:43Is it something you do often?
00:56:44No, it's my first time.
00:56:46Okay, great.
00:56:48Godland.
00:56:49The first thing I was thinking when I saw you do your performance was like, wow, this queen is a great creator.
00:56:55And I got a bunch of ideas from my own shop.
00:56:58This outfit, yes, it is you dressed as a lobster, but it has so much glamour to it.
00:57:04My expectations are always very high for queens from Thailand, but you've outshone them.
00:57:10That number, oh my gosh, it was so much fun.
00:57:13What does it mean to you to be on this stage?
00:57:16Wow, Mama, this is like the dream come true moment for me because it means a lot for my culture.
00:57:23And I'm so proud that I am now representing Thailand.
00:57:28Yes, you are.
00:57:30Beautifully so.
00:57:33Up next, the only Naomi.
00:57:36I loved your performance.
00:57:38It was really weird and crazy.
00:57:43I think there were a few glitches your outfit was opening up before you got to do the reveal.
00:57:47That's showbiz.
00:57:48You keep going on and that's exactly what you did.
00:57:50And then the contrast between that and this, I think was a really smart move.
00:57:55And it really transported us.
00:57:57Absolutely amazing dress.
00:57:59I just love your creative ideas.
00:58:03And that color palette looks just like tattoo.
00:58:05Hello.
00:58:06I thought of you.
00:58:08Naomi, your number was completely ridiculous.
00:58:13We don't think of German people as having such a huge sense of humor.
00:58:17Are you just the anomaly?
00:58:18The only anomaly?
00:58:20The only anomaly.
00:58:21I am the only German queen to ever be here, so I'll just say yes.
00:58:25And tell me about the flag.
00:58:27What does it say on there?
00:58:28As a little knot to our wild German history, I have the German First Amendment on there, which in English it would be, the dignity of humanity is untouchable.
00:58:39And I really try to live by that day by day.
00:58:42Lovely.
00:58:44Up next, Sminty Drop.
00:58:47You know, sometimes when people do a kind of self-referential thing, it turns out no one's as interested in them as they are.
00:58:55But that wasn't the case with this.
00:58:59I love the way you elevated it till it just became so cartoonish.
00:59:04This dress, you look absolutely crazy amazing in this.
00:59:08My God.
00:59:10You look like the end of a Galliano show where they bring out the bridal look and you wear it like nobody else would wear it.
00:59:18And listen, that number was ridiculous, so stupid, and that sad twerk was so funny.
00:59:26I think you did it four or five times.
00:59:29My back says ten.
00:59:35Oh my God, Sminty.
00:59:36So good to have you back.
00:59:37I'm just honestly so happy to be back.
00:59:39I just want to show everyone that I'm not just a pretty face.
00:59:42I'm also a Kraken's Alex.
00:59:46That's right.
00:59:48Up next, Kate Butch.
00:59:50I'm so proud of you tonight.
00:59:51You were singing live, so there's no safety net at all.
00:59:55Alan and Graham will put me in front.
00:59:57Insert name of guest judge, you seem like a dream.
00:59:59Not easy to do a patter song and land the jokes.
01:00:03I thought it was really, really good.
01:00:05I just loved how you played with words.
01:00:08You're a great storyteller.
01:00:10But it was also nice to see your dad in this outfit here.
01:00:13There is definitely some story to this.
01:00:15Please enlighten us.
01:00:16Historically, the UK, we literally have blood on our hands.
01:00:20But even now, the UK is a hotbed of horrors,
01:00:25especially for people who are poor or disabled or trans.
01:00:31And I didn't want to bring an outfit that gave me pride in the UK
01:00:36because I think there should be some shame in what we've done
01:00:40and what we continue to do.
01:00:41I think that was a great way to do your point of view
01:00:44the way you wanted to do it.
01:00:46And this dress is gorgeous.
01:00:49So powerful.
01:00:50And singing live on this stage is always a risk,
01:00:54but nothing went wrong.
01:00:56Your voice was perfection.
01:00:58Are you proud of your night tonight?
01:01:00I'm thrilled.
01:01:01I've waited a long time to hear you guys say
01:01:03that I had a nice outfit on the runway.
01:01:07Good on you tonight.
01:01:10Thank you, Queens.
01:01:11I think we've heard enough.
01:01:12While you untuck in the workroom,
01:01:15the judges and I will deliberate.
01:01:17You may leave the stage.
01:01:21So, ladies, what do you feel to be safe today?
01:01:25Oh, Miss Girl.
01:01:27I see faces very serious.
01:01:30I don't know why.
01:01:31I'm surprised I'm not in the top.
01:01:34So we're back in Untucked,
01:01:36and I feel a little bit pressed,
01:01:39a little bit plucked.
01:01:41I wanted to be critiqued by Ru,
01:01:43and I wanted to hear what she thought.
01:01:45I was fully expecting to be up there right now.
01:01:48I mean, I'm always grateful to be safe,
01:01:51but I was expecting to be top.
01:01:54I was worried because I arrived here
01:01:57and I had lost my voice.
01:01:59Like, I could hear every single little technical detail
01:02:03where I was just not it today, honey.
01:02:05Sis, I know what I did.
01:02:07I'm not DeLulu.
01:02:08My own take on this performance?
01:02:11Five out of ten.
01:02:13Let's think that we are not in the bottom.
01:02:16Exactly.
01:02:17We do it well.
01:02:18Not very well, but we aren't in the bottom.
01:02:21Honestly, I'm a little bit confused because, like,
01:02:23you think they're all tops.
01:02:25To me, I feel like they were all so strong.
01:02:27Apart from Miss Naomi,
01:02:30I feel like as a seasoned performer,
01:02:33you don't brag about walking,
01:02:35and you're stumbling and fumbling.
01:02:37When you're a model,
01:02:38and you have a pair of sticks like that,
01:02:40you have to be able to use them.
01:02:41Exactly.
01:02:42What do you think is going to happen?
01:02:44Do you think it's a top and bottom situation?
01:02:46Maybe we're just overthinking things now
01:02:47because we're not drinking enough.
01:02:48I always do that when I don't drink enough.
01:02:50I overthink.
01:02:57Ooh.
01:02:58Yeah, babies.
01:02:59Welcome.
01:03:00Back in Untuck.
01:03:01Back in Untuck,
01:03:03and I feel so good.
01:03:08Little Manor.
01:03:10I feel like I'm starting the competition so strong.
01:03:14Ooh.
01:03:15Wow.
01:03:16I'm kind of guessing.
01:03:17Were y'all tops?
01:03:21It's quite difficult to say,
01:03:22but we are all in the top.
01:03:24Yay!
01:03:26Thank you so much.
01:03:28So if they're all in the top,
01:03:31it makes us the bottom half.
01:03:37Really?
01:03:39It was amazing.
01:03:40The main reason that I'm here
01:03:43is I want nice critiques on my runways,
01:03:45and that is what I got.
01:03:46I do have to shout out,
01:03:47thank you to Sminty for shaving me back.
01:03:50Kate looks great.
01:03:51Truly anything can happen.
01:03:55Mark your calendars.
01:03:56The judges liked my look.
01:03:58This is a big day.
01:04:00I'm very happy, to be honest,
01:04:02because in my first season,
01:04:03the only time I got critiques was negative.
01:04:05So just having something nice about my drag,
01:04:08being said,
01:04:09why are you rude?
01:04:10Nah.
01:04:11It's surreal.
01:04:12That is everything.
01:04:13I'm just really overwhelmed.
01:04:15I feel very seen by the judges in this moment.
01:04:18This is so nice.
01:04:20I'm really curious what all of the safe girls thought
01:04:25when all of us were on the stage.
01:04:27Oh, yeah.
01:04:28If we had to split it here.
01:04:29Yeah, we did say that Naomi was like,
01:04:32oh, maybe she's in the bottom.
01:04:35Out of the five.
01:04:36Out of the five.
01:04:37Out of the five.
01:04:38Yeah.
01:04:39Girl, really?
01:04:40Right now?
01:04:41What is she on about?
01:04:43Yeah.
01:04:44For what reason?
01:04:45Um.
01:04:46Uh, the walk.
01:04:47I don't know.
01:04:48We didn't know if it was intentional.
01:04:50Yeah.
01:04:51So just to be frank, first,
01:04:53you turned around a few times
01:04:56and you were stumbling.
01:04:59Zahaira is not mincing her words.
01:05:01I just want to be straight up with you.
01:05:03Miss Thing is stirring the shit pot
01:05:05and I'm here for it.
01:05:06In this moment right now,
01:05:09just me being emotional,
01:05:10it kind of feels like you're raining on my parade.
01:05:12No, not at all.
01:05:13Feeling like the other queens
01:05:14would put me in the bottom.
01:05:16All I can think is,
01:05:17they would have sent me home
01:05:19if there was an elimination.
01:05:21And that's a really shitty position to be in.
01:05:24But so sad for you that that wasn't the case.
01:05:31There is the first gold rupee to badge up for grabs.
01:05:36I think I'm going to go
01:05:37and have a little listen to that lip sync song.
01:05:39Can you shave me back again?
01:05:40I think it's grown back.
01:05:41Absolutely.
01:05:44All right, now just between us girlfriends,
01:05:46I want to hear from you.
01:05:48Starting with Fontana.
01:05:49In the spirit of RuRuVision,
01:05:51that song had everything.
01:05:53It had all the tricks.
01:05:54There was a lot of things happening,
01:05:56but you know,
01:05:57I do appreciate that in Nardis.
01:06:00And then her ABBA dancing queen tribute was adorable.
01:06:03I knew immediately what she was representing.
01:06:06Fabulous.
01:06:07I thought Fontana did a great job.
01:06:08All right, let's talk about Godland.
01:06:10Godland has started this competition
01:06:11with one almighty mic drop.
01:06:13I have arrived and I am the one to watch.
01:06:18I also love the fact that the performance was very simple.
01:06:21It was just her and her gun.
01:06:24Basically.
01:06:26I felt so safe with her
01:06:27because it had a lot of words.
01:06:28She had a lot of business to get done in that number
01:06:31and she got it all done.
01:06:32And then the runway tonight.
01:06:34Fashion and kitsch and drag.
01:06:37She looked gorgeous.
01:06:39The only Naomi.
01:06:41She told us a story.
01:06:42I liked going through the whole journey
01:06:43of her production number.
01:06:45Performance wasn't really crisp, crisp.
01:06:48I felt it needed maybe,
01:06:49I don't know, another week's rehearsal.
01:06:51Yeah, let's put it on today.
01:06:54And then the contrast between that
01:06:56and that beautiful somber runway.
01:07:00How clever.
01:07:01Let me tell you why she's in the top.
01:07:03Her number embodied the wackadoodle craziness of drag.
01:07:07And I just have to take my wig off to that.
01:07:12All right, Sminty Drop.
01:07:14Love that she reclaimed her sad twerk,
01:07:17which she's renamed Swerk.
01:07:18If the Duracell bunny could sad twerk.
01:07:20That's what it was.
01:07:21It was just frenzied.
01:07:23And then on the runway.
01:07:24My goodness.
01:07:25You want to talk exquisite.
01:07:26Executed perfectly.
01:07:28Her sense of style.
01:07:30She is mesmerizing.
01:07:31So beautiful.
01:07:32And the way she sold that sad twerk.
01:07:35It was ridiculous.
01:07:37And I love ridiculous.
01:07:39Kate Butch.
01:07:40We had two live singers tonight.
01:07:42Free game.
01:07:46One was good.
01:07:47Oh.
01:07:48Oh.
01:07:49The shell.
01:07:50None of the other queens could have attempted that.
01:07:52You've got to write jokes.
01:07:53And then we've got to hear the jokes.
01:07:55You've got to have time to laugh at the jokes.
01:07:57She did all of that.
01:07:59On the runway, she wanted to be political.
01:08:01I loved that look on her.
01:08:02I love it when there's a meaning to what you're wearing.
01:08:05The outfit was beautiful on its own.
01:08:07That was a huge leap forward for Kate Butch.
01:08:10Oh, yeah.
01:08:11But then, of course, having the message to it.
01:08:12It's fantastic.
01:08:13All right.
01:08:14Silence.
01:08:15Thanks.
01:08:16I have made my decision.
01:08:17Bring back my girls.
01:08:20Welcome back, ladies.
01:08:22I've made some decisions.
01:08:27The only Naomi.
01:08:30Oh, Scheiße.
01:08:31You're safe.
01:08:32Dankeschön.
01:08:33You may join the other girls.
01:08:35Godlin.
01:08:46Give yourself a round of a claws.
01:08:50Condragulations.
01:08:51You are one of the top two queens of the week.
01:08:53Yes!
01:08:54Congratulations, baby!
01:09:02Sminty Drop.
01:09:04You're quite a bird.
01:09:05And you're plucked for the gods.
01:09:11Kate Butch.
01:09:12This time, on this occasion, you're absolutely fantastic.
01:09:19Fontana.
01:09:21Can you hear the drums, Fontana?
01:09:27Condragulations.
01:09:28You're the other top queen of the week.
01:09:30What is going on?
01:09:35Oh.
01:09:36My.
01:09:37RuPaul.
01:09:39Sminty Drop.
01:09:40Kate Butch.
01:09:41You're both safe.
01:09:42You may join the other girls.
01:09:43Non-binary Panic.
01:09:45Jay Panic.
01:09:46Oh.
01:09:47My.
01:09:48Gaga.
01:09:51Two queens.
01:09:52Stand before me.
01:09:53I've consulted with the judges, but the final decision is mine to make.
01:10:02Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance of Tattoo by Lorene.
01:10:08Ladies, this is your chance to impress me and win the first gold Ru Peter badge of the season.
01:10:20The time has come for you to lip sync for the win.
01:10:36Fontana.
01:10:37Watch out, girl.
01:10:39You're not gonna win.
01:10:41Good luck.
01:10:42And don't.
01:10:43Fuck.
01:10:44It.
01:10:45Ugh.
01:10:46I don't wanna go.
01:10:47But baby, we both know.
01:10:48This is not our time.
01:10:58It's time to say goodbye.
01:10:59Violin's playing and the angels crying.
01:11:05This is not our time, it's time to say goodbye
01:11:11Violins playing, and the angels crying
01:11:17When the stars align, then I'll be there
01:11:23No, I don't care about the pain
01:11:26I want the fire and the rain
01:11:29Just to get closer to you
01:11:32It's not that real, I get that difficult
01:11:35I'm letting my head down
01:11:38I'm taking a clue
01:11:41It got behind your head, don't lose it, my friend
01:11:45It's all that I got
01:11:49Violins playing, and the angels crying
01:11:55When the stars align, then I'll be there
01:12:00No, I don't care about the pain
01:12:04It's all I wanted to be loved
01:12:07And all I care about is you for food
01:12:10It's not that real, I get that difficult
01:12:13No, I don't care about the pain
01:12:16I want the fire and the rain
01:12:20Just to get closer to you
01:12:22It's not that real, I get that difficult
01:12:25It's not that real, I get that difficult
01:12:27I don't care about the pain
01:12:28I don't care about the pain
01:12:29I don't care about the pain
01:12:31I want the fire and the rain
01:12:33Just to get closer to you
01:12:34It's not that real, I get that difficult
01:12:38Oh, I don't care about the pain
01:12:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:12:40All I care about is you
01:12:44You're stuck on me like I get that difficult
01:12:46I want to kill everybody's love.
01:12:49You're stuck on me like a doo-doo-doo-doo.
01:12:52Hey!
01:12:53Hey!
01:12:54Hey!
01:12:55Hey!
01:12:56Bravo!
01:12:57Bravo!
01:12:58Bravo!
01:12:59Hey, come on now.
01:13:00Woo!
01:13:01Yeah.
01:13:02Ladies, I've made my decision.
01:13:13Fontana, congratulations.
01:13:16Thank you so much.
01:13:17Oh, my God!
01:13:18We're going to need a bigger bucket.
01:13:20Oh!
01:13:21This is absolutely crazy.
01:13:23The Swedish-Brazilian beauty has officially arrived.
01:13:26You've won a coveted gold.
01:13:28Oh, my God!
01:13:29Oh, my God!
01:13:31Oh, my God!
01:13:33Oh, my God!
01:13:34Oh, my God!
01:13:35Oh, my God!
01:13:36Oh, my God!
01:13:38Oh, my God!
01:13:39Oh, my God!
01:13:40Oh, my God!
01:13:41Oh, my God!
01:13:42Oh, my God!
01:13:43Oh, my God!
01:13:44Oh, my God!
01:13:45Thank you!
01:13:46Oh, my God!
01:13:47It was a faded gold Ru Peter badge.
01:13:49Oh, my God!
01:13:52Oh!
01:13:53Oh!
01:13:54Wow!
01:13:55Wow!
01:13:56Wear it with pride and think of Sweden.
01:13:58Yay!
01:13:59Godlin, you are free to slay another day.
01:14:05Good job.
01:14:07Condragulations, ladies.
01:14:10But beware.
01:14:12Next week, the eliminations begin.
01:14:17But for now, remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to
01:14:21love somebody else?
01:14:22Can I get an amen up in here?
01:14:24Amen!
01:14:25All right.
01:14:26Now let the music play.
01:14:33Come on and take me away.
01:14:38Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the world, you need to take a drag look from the
01:14:44past and rework it into a fresh frock for the future.
01:14:48But here's the twist.
01:14:50Watch.
01:14:51It takes a lot for this jaw to hit the ground, and it did.
01:14:56It's just the way that sort of hangs limp across your tits.
01:15:01Yes.
01:15:02Mother 8.
01:15:03Is that right?
01:15:04Yes.
01:15:05Miss Godlin, are you still mad?
01:15:08Ah!
01:15:09What?
01:15:10Oh, I do.
01:15:11What, uh, uhh.
01:15:12Oh!
01:15:13What, what, ey-
01:15:16Oh!
01:15:17Oh!
01:15:18How'd you go?
01:15:20Oh!
01:15:21Oh!
01:15:22Come on, take me away!
01:15:23Oh!
01:15:25Oh!
01:15:26Oh!
01:15:27Oh!
01:15:28Oh!
01:15:29Oh!
01:15:30Yeah!
01:15:31Oh!
01:15:32Oh!
01:15:33Oh!
01:15:34Oh!
01:15:35Oh!
01:15:36I'm gonna take me away
01:15:39To the moon
