00:00:00Why hello again, Jill.
00:00:13I'm Kate Butch, and I am back with a new jumper, new glasses, and a new hairline.
00:00:18Because it's gone even further back.
00:00:20The fever's going to get you, because the Butch is back!
00:00:25Elton John? Anyone?
00:00:27You might remember me as the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Series 5.
00:00:31Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy.
00:00:34And if you do, get your memory checked, because I came fifth.
00:00:37Unbelievable!
00:00:38Am I the only one?
00:00:40Well, I like those odds.
00:00:41On my series, the judges were incredibly complimentary on my comedy, my acting.
00:00:50They were less complimentary on the runways.
00:00:53That was the only thing I got negative critiques on.
00:00:55That and the smell.
00:00:57Just wait for other people to arrive.
00:00:59I am ready to take on the world.
00:01:01I will do anything.
00:01:03I'll punch a vicar.
00:01:04I'll kick a dog.
00:01:05I think we're going to have a camp all time.
00:01:06I'll be nice to Michelle Visage.
00:01:10Oh, oh!
00:01:13Wings!
00:01:13Who could it possibly be?
00:01:16Fontana in the Casa Baby on the runner-up of Drag Race Sweden Season 1.
00:01:26The Swedish-Brazilian beauty has arrived.
00:01:29Oh my god.
00:01:30I had so many high points on my season.
00:01:33Winning the makeover challenge and just being in the finale.
00:01:36It's work!
00:01:37I am all!
00:01:39How are you?
00:01:39All right, don't poke me in the eye.
00:01:40I'm Fontana.
00:01:41It's so nice to meet you.
00:01:42I'm kind.
00:01:42It's so lovely to meet you.
00:01:43I know who you are.
00:01:44I'm a big fan.
00:01:45I was the Brittany of the season.
00:01:47Absolutely.
00:01:48With the high cakes, splits and lots of craziness.
00:01:52As the host nation, I would like to officially welcome you.
00:01:55How does it compare to the Swedish one?
00:01:57This is elevated.
00:01:58This is absolutely amazing.
00:01:59We got that RuPaul money, haven't we?
00:02:00All right.
00:02:01This time, I'm bringing the Fontana vision.
00:02:04RuPaul reached a queer kid from the ghetto.
00:02:07This is one of my biggest dreams.
00:02:09I'm freaking out.
00:02:10I'm Brazilian.
00:02:11Yes.
00:02:12But I've been living in Sweden for the past 10 years.
00:02:14Chicka-tita, tell me what's wrong.
00:02:15Excuse me?
00:02:16Vulevu.
00:02:18It's Abba, babe.
00:02:18That's your people.
00:02:19Abba, come back.
00:02:20Oh, I know.
00:02:21I'm Latina, and I'm very spicy.
00:02:23If these girls get on my nerves, they better watch out.
00:02:26Do you like a crisp?
00:02:27Please, babe.
00:02:28Yes.
00:02:28Ready, salted.
00:02:29Is that all right?
00:02:30I'm feeling ready, and I cannot wait to show the world the Fontana show.
00:02:34Here we go.
00:02:37Oh, my God.
00:02:37What's happening?
00:02:38Long hair.
00:02:39Is it Marge Simpson?
00:02:40Oh, my God.
00:02:41Who is this?
00:02:44Oh, my God.
00:02:45Oh, my God.
00:02:47I am Godland.
00:02:48Oh, my God.
00:02:49She's shining.
00:02:49And I am a little bitch from Thailand.
00:02:56You want to fight?
00:02:57I'm going to punch your face down, baby.
00:03:03Do we need to call security?
00:03:05I'm frightened.
00:03:11I'm joking.
00:03:12She's tiny.
00:03:13I could push her over very easily.
00:03:15I'm Godland.
00:03:15Woo!
00:03:16And I was in Drag Race Thailand season three.
00:03:19And how did you do?
00:03:20Top three.
00:03:21Iconia!
00:03:22My favorite moment in my season is definitely having two wins.
00:03:27Makeover challenge and rules equal.
00:03:29Hmm.
00:03:30If you come to my show, you're going to see the stance.
00:03:34Ah!
00:03:34And definitely, you're going to see the skin.
00:03:37Michelle, I'm sorry.
00:03:38But I love to rely on my body.
00:03:40Because I got a good one.
00:03:41Are you going to be big competition?
00:03:44Are we going to go Thailand against Sweden and Brazil up in here?
00:03:47Tana, I don't think that we're going to go against each other.
00:03:51Let's shop the colonizers!
00:03:54Getting this call to be here in the UK is the biggest opportunity ever.
00:03:59I'll show you Thai Drag X-Lens.
00:04:04Oh!
00:04:04Oh!
00:04:05Oh!
00:04:05It's happening!
00:04:06It's happening again!
00:04:07Oh my God!
00:04:07Oh my God!
00:04:08I've got fingers!
00:04:09Security!
00:04:11Oh my God!
00:04:12Oh my God!
00:04:14Whoa!
00:04:15Picked it off!
00:04:17Yeah!
00:04:18It's Zahaira.
00:04:19No way!
00:04:20From RuPaul's Drag Race UK season six.
00:04:23Z-Z-Z-Zahaira.
00:04:26Fly girl level up.
00:04:27Like a spindly spider!
00:04:29I was supposed to be the beauty of the season.
00:04:32Ah!
00:04:33Ah!
00:04:33Where the ugly ones at.
00:04:34Can we please get an ugly one?
00:04:36Right, come over here, you bastard!
00:04:38Come over here!
00:04:38Ah!
00:04:40Someone I know!
00:04:41I am best known just being really loud and beautiful and incredible and really humble.
00:04:47How did you do in your season?
00:04:48I was 10th place, you know.
00:04:50But I'm rewriting 10th place right here, right now.
00:04:53The first go-round, the old Zahaira was just happy to be there.
00:04:57This time around, I am really gunning for that crown.
00:05:01I'm going to be here till the end.
00:05:02Catch me every episode and be sick of me.
00:05:04I'm here to win.
00:05:06Two UK winners back to back.
00:05:07Let's take a third one.
00:05:09Ooh!
00:05:09We're done with the British win.
00:05:10It's time for something new.
00:05:12Well, you can use your wings and fly back.
00:05:13I'm ready.
00:05:15You better work, bitch.
00:05:16We'll see.
00:05:17I don't really care what the other girls think.
00:05:21I'm continuing on my story and I'm going to get that crown.
00:05:25Oh, oh, oh.
00:05:26What's happening?
00:05:26What shape is that?
00:05:28Oh, it's coming.
00:05:29Oh, wow.
00:05:30Oh, oh, oh.
00:05:32Oh, my God.
00:05:33Oh, my God.
00:05:34What?
00:05:34What?
00:05:36What?
00:05:36What?
00:05:36What?
00:05:37What?
00:05:37What?
00:05:38Good morning.
00:05:39Drag Race Germany, come through.
00:05:41My name is the only Naomi.
00:05:43Wer das liest ist dumm.
00:05:46I don't speak a word of German, but it sounded fabulous.
00:05:49Naomi is blonde, pretty, basic, and sometimes a little bit of a bitch.
00:05:54Good morning.
00:05:57The only Naomi?
00:05:58Yes, that's what they call me.
00:05:59I'm one of the many cakes.
00:06:00Am I a fashion queen?
00:06:02I don't know.
00:06:03I will let you be the judge of that.
00:06:05But I will claim the best mug in Germany.
00:06:07That's what we do.
00:06:09How did you do?
00:06:10Very good.
00:06:11I was runner-up.
00:06:12Wow.
00:06:13From the bottom.
00:06:16My elimination set the internet on fire.
00:06:19It is.
00:06:19What it is.
00:06:20They all thought I was robbed.
00:06:21So thank you for sending me home so early because now I'm back.
00:06:26What are you going to do differently then?
00:06:27I bring a helmet.
00:06:28What does it say?
00:06:29I say tosie.
00:06:30What does that mean?
00:06:30Yeah, that's basically someone who's over-obsessed with their appearance but not very smart.
00:06:34So I thought it was fitting.
00:06:36Oh, yay.
00:06:36I'm not the dumb queen that sees it.
00:06:38Am I ready to take on the world?
00:06:41Is she pretty funny?
00:06:43Yeah.
00:06:43There's no going back now.
00:06:45I feel you.
00:06:47Yeah, let's go.
00:06:48Let's do it.
00:06:48I'm ready.
00:06:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:06:52Oh, my God.
00:06:53Oh, body.
00:06:57Adam.
00:06:58Oh, my God.
00:07:00So good.
00:07:00Hi, I'm Mariah Balenciaga from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3 and All Stars 5.
00:07:07Oh, my God.
00:07:08And I'm the only OG that still doesn't have fillers.
00:07:12The mug is back, stacked, and ready to attack.
00:07:16Yes! Oh, my gosh!
00:07:19No, I'm goofed.
00:07:20Oh, I definitely know who this one is,
00:07:21because who wouldn't know Mariah?
00:07:23She's ancient.
00:07:27Good morrow!
00:07:28Good morrow to you!
00:07:29I don't know what country that's from,
00:07:31but I know it's delicious.
00:07:32It feels like Shakespeare as well.
00:07:34I've been doing drag for 25 years.
00:07:37It's been 15 years since my original season,
00:07:40five years since All Stars.
00:07:42You could say I'm a big deal.
00:07:44My drag aesthetic is femme fatale, sex, and glamour.
00:07:49Raya, I've got to say,
00:07:50you were the first season I ever watched.
00:07:52You're, like, honestly, one of my inspirations in drag.
00:07:56If I had two ducks, y'all would make me cry.
00:07:59I really never thought I was going to say yes again,
00:08:01but the fact that it's the international season,
00:08:03well, that's a whole other challenge.
00:08:05We all know who you are.
00:08:07Do you actually recognize some of us?
00:08:09You know, I say this at the bars all the time.
00:08:11That's such a rude question to ask.
00:08:15Look, you can ask my age.
00:08:16Just don't ask if I remember you.
00:08:19The girls may think they know who I am.
00:08:22Prepare to gag on my eleganza.
00:08:24But I'm here to prove that an older bitch
00:08:26can learn new tricks.
00:08:30Oh, oh, come on!
00:08:31Oh, oh, here we go.
00:08:33Oh, let's go to the back.
00:08:34Oh!
00:08:36No!
00:08:37You're lying!
00:08:40Hi, I'm Sminty Drop.
00:08:41Get out!
00:08:42The Manchester mannequin is not panicking anymore.
00:08:44She is back and hotter than ever, honey.
00:08:47Consider your jaw dropped.
00:08:49Your favorite!
00:08:50Oh, my God!
00:08:51Describing my drag in a few words would be
00:08:55face of a supermodel,
00:08:57brain of a supernoodle.
00:09:00Hi!
00:09:01Yay!
00:09:02Honestly, I'm so happy to see my father,
00:09:04Manchester United.
00:09:05I know, I'm so happy to see you!
00:09:06I'm so happy that I've got some new sisters as well.
00:09:08Also, can I bum a stick off anyone?
00:09:10Let's go.
00:09:11I left my card at home.
00:09:13I was probably best known for looking amazing.
00:09:17I was in the top of the design challenge,
00:09:19I was in the top of the looks challenge,
00:09:20and most importantly,
00:09:22I was known for my iconic sad twerk.
00:09:30I didn't win a single badge though,
00:09:31so hopefully this time around that can change.
00:09:33Do us a happy twerk.
00:09:34Go on, happy twerk.
00:09:35Yay!
00:09:36Let's go!
00:09:37Yay!
00:09:38I am ready to be queen of the Molotokin' world!
00:09:42Ooh, got a massage chair going here.
00:09:46Oh, go!
00:09:47Oh, oh, oh!
00:09:48Who is it?
00:09:51Oh, here we go!
00:09:53Here we go!
00:09:55Hi, I am Minty Fresh,
00:09:56the face of Drag Race Philippines.
00:09:59You like what you see?
00:10:00I know you do.
00:10:02Wake up world,
00:10:03it's time to freshen up.
00:10:05I know Minty,
00:10:07and she is drag icon,
00:10:09legend.
00:10:12Hi Philippines!
00:10:13Hi, I'm Minty.
00:10:14Minty Fresh.
00:10:15Our names are pretty similar.
00:10:17There might be a little bit of confusion there.
00:10:19Minty without the S.
00:10:20I placed top five,
00:10:22I was robbed for a spot in the finale.
00:10:24Minty Fresh,
00:10:25I'm sorry,
00:10:26this is not your top.
00:10:28That's why I'm here,
00:10:29to claim what's mine.
00:10:30We're like your highs,
00:10:31your lows,
00:10:32what should we be scared of?
00:10:33That's a secret.
00:10:34Well, I know how she did.
00:10:36Am I gonna spill?
00:10:37She won her talent show.
00:10:40And you also won a ball, right?
00:10:42Yeah.
00:10:43I know what she can do.
00:10:44She's got some cards,
00:10:45and she's keeping them very close to her chest.
00:10:47So I'm keeping my eye out on that one.
00:10:49We have Marina Summer,
00:10:50and she did great.
00:10:51As a Filipino,
00:10:52do you feel like you are comparing to her?
00:10:54Well,
00:10:55we're very different,
00:10:56but I'll try to take revenge for my sister.
00:10:59Well,
00:11:00if you're taking revenge for a fallen sister,
00:11:01can I be the first one to offer you my seat?
00:11:05Drag industry in the Philippines is a powerhouse.
00:11:07We're not just the look.
00:11:09The Filipino queens should dominate the world.
00:11:12Oh, God.
00:11:14Should we go?
00:11:15Oh, my God.
00:11:16Who is it?
00:11:17Oh, my God.
00:11:18Who is it?
00:11:24Hello, babes.
00:11:25I am Serena Morena from Drag Race Mexico.
00:11:28I'm gonna pray for these sinners.
00:11:31Wow.
00:11:32But first,
00:11:33let's have a fiesta.
00:11:37In Drag Race Mexico,
00:11:38I came in eighth place.
00:11:40My best moment is the musical,
00:11:42the girl group band.
00:11:44But I think that I got eliminated
00:11:47for some of my runway looks.
00:11:50This season,
00:11:51I bring amazing looks.
00:11:55You're gonna say,
00:11:56Oh, my God.
00:11:57Fucking Serena.
00:11:58I love her.
00:11:59You know, tell us a little bit
00:12:00about the Mexican scene.
00:12:01Mexican drag is so crazy.
00:12:03It's a lot of colors.
00:12:04So I invite you to go
00:12:06to my Mexico country.
00:12:09Let's go now.
00:12:10We'll be right behind you.
00:12:12This second chance is a dream come true
00:12:15because I have the opportunity
00:12:17to show more of Serena.
00:12:19What kind of drag do you do?
00:12:21I'm a comedy and sensual queen.
00:12:23That's my drag.
00:12:24Sensual?
00:12:25Yes.
00:12:26It's an orgasm to be here.
00:12:28So when you have an orgasm,
00:12:30you need to enjoy it.
00:12:32On your first season,
00:12:33you were judged by Valentina?
00:12:35Yes.
00:12:36Sashay, te marchas.
00:12:39How do you feel now that you're
00:12:40gonna be judged by Mama Ru?
00:12:41Better, of course.
00:12:44Wait, so how many of us
00:12:45haven't been judged by RuPaul here?
00:12:47Me.
00:12:48Are you guys nervous to meet Ru?
00:12:49I am dying.
00:12:50Ru is my absolute biggest inspiration.
00:12:52I'm like shaking, puking.
00:12:54I need to tell everyone
00:12:55I live with severe anxiety.
00:12:57One of the symptoms I have
00:12:59is that I puke.
00:13:00So I might scream buckets
00:13:02at any point.
00:13:03And if they don't bring me,
00:13:04I'll have to puke in one of you.
00:13:06Just so you know.
00:13:08Do what you need to do to cope, girl.
00:13:10I don't mind holding her hair back
00:13:11as long as she gets it in the bucket.
00:13:13Oh my god!
00:13:15Oh my god!
00:13:16Oh my god!
00:13:17Oh my god!
00:13:18Oh my god!
00:13:19Oh my god!
00:13:20Oh my god!
00:13:21Where the hell is that?
00:13:22Oh my god!
00:13:23Oh my god!
00:13:24Oh my god!
00:13:25Oh my god!
00:13:26Oh my god!
00:13:27What?
00:13:28Roger, hi world!
00:13:29This is Melinda Verga
00:13:30from Canada's Drag Race Season 4.
00:13:32With gratitude!
00:13:33With gratitude!
00:13:34With gratitude!
00:13:35Mwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
00:13:36I shoot, I score!
00:13:38Yeah!
00:13:39Oh my god!
00:13:40Oh my god!
00:13:41It's Melinda, Bloody Burger.
00:13:44She better start a fight with someone.
00:13:46I hope it's not me.
00:13:48There's going to be some drama this season.
00:13:51I'm best known for my world-famous meltdown.
00:13:56Roll the tape.
00:13:57This person here showed kindness on that fucking stage.
00:14:01And I needed to reciprocate that with gratitude.
00:14:04And that's why I said I'm doing it.
00:14:07Yes, I am emotional.
00:14:09And yes, sometimes I can be blunt.
00:14:11Fuck this.
00:14:13But inside, there's that deep well of compassion.
00:14:17Melinda, and what are you going to do better than your first season?
00:14:20I'm hoping that the mug is a lot better than my season.
00:14:22People first got to know Melinda Verga and she was what?
00:14:26Busted.
00:14:26Yeah, who invited her?
00:14:28But hopefully my eleganza will gag you this season.
00:14:32Sorry, I know you are like one of my best neighbors.
00:14:34I'm not familiar with your season.
00:14:37What kind of drag do you do?
00:14:38I do tricks, I do stunts, I dance, I act, I sing.
00:14:43I met Mariah in LA, girl.
00:14:45She just might not remember me because she's old.
00:14:49Are you older than her?
00:14:50I am older than her.
00:14:54You're stunning!
00:14:56Let's go UK versus the world three!
00:14:58I'm here to prove that I deserve that crown and that scepter and be the queen of the mother-talking world!
00:15:06Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:15:08Ugh!
00:15:10Ughh!
00:15:10Ugh!
00:15:11Fuck!
00:15:12Aww!
00:15:12Oh my God!
00:15:14Oh my God!
00:15:16Oh my God!
00:15:17What the fuck?
00:15:17Oh my God!
00:15:17It's the man!
00:15:18Ah!
00:15:19Ah!
00:15:19Ah!
00:15:19Ah!
00:15:19Oh my God!
00:15:20Oh my God!
00:15:20What's the show?
00:15:21Oh my God!
00:15:21Oh my God!
00:15:22Could this be RuPaul?
00:15:23RuPaul is here! I'm freaking out!
00:15:40Fuck it! I may need it now.
00:15:44Hinge me, I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:15:45Hello, bonjour, hola!
00:15:48Welcome to the greatest show on earth, RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the world.
00:15:56Now, some of you have crossed the ocean, while others have just crossed your eyes.
00:16:05But listen, no matter how you got here, I have one thing to say.
00:16:10You better work, bitch.
00:16:13Period.
00:16:15In the end, only one of you will snatch the title of Queen of the Mother Tucking World.
00:16:20Yes!
00:16:22Plus a cash prize of £50,000.
00:16:25Yes!
00:16:28£50,000.
00:16:31I don't know what that is in euros, but it's probably a lot more, so I'll take that. Thank you.
00:16:35Cha-ching!
00:16:37Hashtag Drag Race UK.
00:16:39For your first maxi challenge, you'll be representing your country in the musical event of the year,
00:16:46the RuruVision Song Contest.
00:16:48Yay!
00:16:50Tomorrow on the main stage, each of you needs to perform your original song for the esteemed members of the RuruVision jury,
00:16:59which will include our extra special guest judge, two-time Eurovision winner, Lorene.
00:17:05Oh!
00:17:06Yeah!
00:17:07So don't forget it.
00:17:09Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
00:17:14Yeah!
00:17:16The competition is on, and baby, it feels amazing.
00:17:21Oh my God, oh my God, where are my nice things?
00:17:40That's K for Katherine.
00:17:42Welcome to our house.
00:17:43Oh my God, we're inside the TV.
00:17:45It feels amazing to be back in the UK workroom.
00:17:47I'm having this one, I'm having this one, no!
00:17:49I've been here before, I know the ropes.
00:17:52I'm happy to host.
00:17:53I'll hand out some little volubons.
00:17:55Cheese and pineapple hedgehog.
00:17:56Jujubee, are you hiding here somewhere?
00:17:58It's so heavy!
00:18:00Yeah!
00:18:01Oh my God, I'm a man!
00:18:06Germany!
00:18:08I promised myself I wouldn't compare myself to other queens.
00:18:11Am I doing it in this moment?
00:18:13Yes, 100%.
00:18:14Am I a little bit threatened by all of them?
00:18:17Yes, but I think that just goes to show like how good these queens are.
00:18:21And that makes me just all the more excited to compete with them.
00:18:23Hi neighbor!
00:18:24Hi neighbor!
00:18:25How do you say mother in German?
00:18:26Mutter.
00:18:27Mutter.
00:18:28Danke Mutter.
00:18:29You're welcome my child.
00:18:30And how do I say non-binary?
00:18:31Non-binary.
00:18:32Non-binary, German is so easy.
00:18:33Baby, non-binary is universal.
00:18:34I got great hand right now, okay?
00:18:35What are your pronouns out of drag?
00:18:37I just want to ask right away.
00:18:38Yes, he, she, thai.
00:18:39So you're not particular with that?
00:18:40No, what I know actually is that I'm not a boy.
00:18:42So I would call myself as non-binary.
00:18:44And I have so many trans friends.
00:18:46And people actually think they rape me in society as a trans girl.
00:18:49Yeah.
00:18:50And I feel honored.
00:18:51That's how I would have perceived you.
00:18:53Everyone, that's the most asked question in my life.
00:18:55Are you a boy or a girl?
00:18:56I consider myself non-binary.
00:18:58Oh yeah.
00:18:59How about you?
00:19:00I see him out of drive.
00:19:01Like call me whatever as long as you call me.
00:19:03Please call me.
00:19:10Oh my God.
00:19:11We are Filipinas.
00:19:12It's the Philippines versus the world.
00:19:13It's like UK versus Philippines versus the world.
00:19:17Exactly.
00:19:24Now being from the UK, you know some of the girls.
00:19:27There's a couple of us.
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:29I don't have friends with them.
00:19:30You're not?
00:19:31I've not been around me house.
00:19:33This time around, I'm definitely going to be more competitive.
00:19:36I'm not normally a pusher.
00:19:39But I am getting a temperature of the room.
00:19:43Typically, you UK girls outnumber everybody else.
00:19:46True.
00:19:47What are you asking?
00:19:48Well, there's red, white, and blue in y'all's flag.
00:19:50And there's red, white, and blue in our flag.
00:19:51Oh.
00:19:52I am spreading my eggs around.
00:19:55I don't want them all in one basket.
00:19:57Yes.
00:19:58And then UK partners with US.
00:20:01Well, just leave it with me.
00:20:03Leave it with me.
00:20:04I'll do some asking around.
00:20:05I'll have a little chat.
00:20:07What I think I'm overhearing with my dainty little ears is that Mariah wants an alliance.
00:20:15I mean, did you want to call us summit of the UK?
00:20:18There's much food for thought here.
00:20:21I've been approached by one lady, Mariah Balenciaga.
00:20:25I think that we are probably already in an alliance.
00:20:28Right.
00:20:29Firstly, what are we doing amongst ourselves?
00:20:31Well, I know that I've definitely got both your backs.
00:20:33I've got your backs.
00:20:34I've got your backs.
00:20:35And speaking of backs, I will be needing your help from one of you to shave my shoulders tomorrow.
00:20:39Right.
00:20:40Right.
00:20:41She's good with her.
00:20:42This UK alliance, you know what?
00:20:44The strategies are already started, girls.
00:20:47We're in like an official capital A alliance.
00:20:51Yes.
00:20:52Does that make us a target?
00:20:53I think we're a target anyway.
00:20:55I 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.
00:21:04And rather than competing against them, we compete with the other ones out and make our way to the top together.
00:21:12I really want to win this competition, but I don't want to be ruthless.
00:21:16Play it smart, play it hard, and if you've got to, play it a little bit dirty.
00:21:20I just don't know if I want to completely commit to an alliance.
00:21:24I think we should bide our time, see what the song contest brings.
00:21:27That'll separate the weight from the chaff, I reckon.
00:21:29Yeah, exactly.
00:21:30And if either of you do a chaff, I should be cross.
00:21:33At the end of the day, there can only be one winner.
00:21:36It's every cross-dresser for themselves.
00:21:46Today, we are getting ready for our maxi challenge, which is the Ruru Vision Song Contest!
00:21:59Do you want to sit next to me, Sminty?
00:22:00Not really, but I will.
00:22:01I'll teach you how to do make-up.
00:22:02In my original season, I don't have the opportunity to do my talent show, so it's going to be amazing because it's in front of Rupaul.
00:22:17It's time to show what I'm made of.
00:22:19Dragitas!
00:22:20Mariah, you've been in the game for 25 years.
00:22:25I was a little toddler when you started doing drag.
00:22:27That's nice.
00:22:28Well, you are a mother, honestly.
00:22:30See what you've inspired.
00:22:32Exactly.
00:22:33I'm so sorry.
00:22:34Little Mariah.
00:22:35How have you seen the LGBTQ culture, the drag industry change?
00:22:39It's definitely mainstream now.
00:22:41Mainstreaming gives everybody a larger voice, and you're not in the shadows, and you're not hiding.
00:22:46With the success of drag queens, do you think that has anything to do with the backlash now that we're facing?
00:22:53Well, for a while it seemed like we were safe and we were moving in the right direction, but when bigoted people feel like their chokehold is being challenged, they kind of feel desperate and they start to act out harder and louder.
00:23:06Right.
00:23:07The fact that basic civil rights, human rights are being repealed is baffling to me.
00:23:12There seems to be yet another cultural war happening.
00:23:15Being in the U.S. is in my face on a day-to-day.
00:23:19I feel like we have reverted back to the freaking dark ages.
00:23:24I always say I've always been a bully of the bullies.
00:23:26When you really care about what you're doing and the community you're doing it in, I think it's kind of obligatory to be the voice and push back for the community that helped create you and support you.
00:23:37To be here all together with all these queens from all over the globe shows that we're never going anywhere.
00:23:43You know, I'm gonna make that rhyme.
00:23:44Honestly, like...
00:23:45We're here, we're queer, we're not going anywhere.
00:23:47Period.
00:23:54Do you know how to do a British accent?
00:23:56Hi.
00:23:57Good morning.
00:23:58It's Minty.
00:23:59Can you teach us how to do a British accent?
00:24:04You want to know how to do a British accent?
00:24:06Say, my hair is frazzled.
00:24:10My hair is frazzled.
00:24:11My hair is frazzled.
00:24:13That's great.
00:24:14That's great.
00:24:15You'll be saying that later.
00:24:17It's the first Maxi Challenge, the Ruru Vision Song Contest.
00:24:21Are we feeling confident?
00:24:22Yes!
00:24:23Are we feeling ready?
00:24:24Let's do it!
00:24:25And I am absolutely buzzing!
00:24:27Are we going to turn this competition out for mother?
00:24:30Yes!
00:24:31Yes!
00:24:32It definitely won't be Neil Pooh today.
00:24:35Boo!
00:24:36Boo!
00:24:37Boo!
00:24:38Boo!
00:24:39Boo!
00:24:44Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the world.
00:24:47I think we have our first member of the jury on the line, Michelle Visage.
00:24:52Representing the country of New Jersey where our motto is,
00:24:56Your ass is minty.
00:25:00International treasure, Graham Norton.
00:25:02Now, you are also the UK's commentator on the lesser known Eurovision Song Contest.
00:25:09How does our RuruVision compare?
00:25:12Well, this one's a lot less gay.
00:25:17And our extra special guest, two-time Eurovision winner, Loree.
00:25:24Thanks, Ruru.
00:25:25Is it too late for me to enter RuruVision?
00:25:28Well, I'll let you know at the end.
00:25:31This week, we challenge our queens to do their country proud at the RuruVision Song Contest.
00:25:37And tonight on the runway, category is for Queen and Country, Home Nation Looks.
00:25:43Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
00:25:50RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the world presents the RuruVision Song Contest.
00:25:57First up, it's Sweden.
00:26:00This performer is a big fan of fart jokes.
00:26:02I mean, who isn't?
00:26:03She's throwing everything at this.
00:26:05This is Fontana.
00:26:09Hey!
00:26:10Take a seat.
00:26:12Stick around.
00:26:14As me.
00:26:16Like a trap.
00:26:17You try to keep me under.
00:26:19I fought back, and now I'm making thunder.
00:26:23Be prepared.
00:26:24You'll never stop this riot.
00:26:26So, be scared.
00:26:27No, dam dam dam dam dam.
00:26:30What you waiting for?
00:26:33Wanna make me roar?
00:26:37What you waiting for?
00:26:41I'm, I'm stronger than my enemies.
00:26:46I'm, I'm deflecting all your jealousies.
00:26:50So, what you waiting for?
00:27:00What you waiting for?
00:27:02This girl is going bonkers on this stage.
00:27:12I didn't know she had it in her, and she does.
00:27:25Next up, Thailand.
00:27:27This performance has been something of a health and safety nightmare for the organizers.
00:27:31The song is called Firecracker, so they really should have seen it coming.
00:27:35Here is Godland.
00:27:37Walking in the street, all eyes on me.
00:27:40My face, my body, my feet, and my heels.
00:27:43Ain't nobody block my way, cause I'm on speed.

00:27:54God you surrender me, baby, tonight.
00:27:56Period.
00:27:57Like firecracker.
00:27:58I'm ready to fight.
00:28:00That's the good thing.
00:28:01Cotton serum.
00:28:02Do what I believe, start from the zero.
00:28:03Tiny.
00:28:04That's me.

00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:15I'm about to solve the puzzle.
00:28:16And I mean that.
00:28:17Telling I'll be joking.
00:28:18Strolling on my IG, them boys a fella.
00:28:19The fuck?
00:28:20See me looking pretty, I got them swallers.
00:28:22It's impossible, isn't possible.
00:28:24Do what they dream, not to stop or go.
00:28:26Do they want to stop at all, make it to the city?
00:28:27It's how the realty.
00:28:28They're about UD.
00:28:29L-a-m-d.
00:28:30The
00:28:52The bitch ate fire my love
00:28:54She okay, I hope so who and now the UK watch out for what can best be described as an
00:29:06Interesting cameo from Brit crew member Tom. Here's Zahaira's the panther
00:29:16Oh
00:29:18Try those tears. You can't go down the runway like that
00:29:23What do you mean Zahaira? I feel absolutely gorgeous. I love wearing women's clothing, especially my wifely cousin
00:29:33I can see you're much more of a sissy than you make out to be
00:29:43Fairy Dragmother
00:29:45Show you the way
00:29:47I am a sissy. I am a cd sissy
00:29:49What is a cd?

00:30:21Oh
00:30:27Canada now
00:30:29The next singer hails from Edmonton, Alberta
00:30:31Fun fact, her left testicle is bigger than the right
00:30:33That's normal though isn't it?
00:30:35Say hello to Melinda Varga
00:30:37Our best intentions
00:30:41The earth should be revealed
00:30:45No matter where you come from
00:30:49We're all from here
00:30:51There's no distance between us
00:30:55Let love let go of fear
00:30:57And as we rise
00:30:59We look at what's revealed
00:31:03Will we ever live
00:31:05Our lives for each other?
00:31:09Will we ever see
00:31:11A world where there's no pain?
00:31:15Will we ever try
00:31:17To make this time a life of endless wonder?
00:31:21Will we ever say
00:31:23The world is free?
00:31:28What's going on?
00:31:29Will we ever say
00:31:31The world
00:31:33Is
00:31:35Free
00:31:43Some of us were made for lip syncing
00:31:45And now Germany
00:31:49This performer has a habit of peeing herself
00:31:52In fact, she did it in rehearsals yesterday

00:33:22U.S. of A next.
00:33:27This act's favorite pastime is wrestling in a paddling pool full of spaghetti.
00:33:32A very saucy.
00:33:34This is Mariah Valenciaga.
00:33:38Fire and the passion
00:33:40Creates a mountain of earth
00:33:44Water thrashing
00:33:46Calming into a cascade
00:33:48Forming delicate sandy shores
00:33:51Gusts of wind
00:33:53Breathing new life
00:33:54Hello
00:33:55The sun
00:33:58From the cradle we crawl
00:34:00Fresh and as one
00:34:02With the purpose of new life
00:34:04The bounty of Gaia
00:34:06With balance and respect
00:34:08For the home all must protect
00:34:10The sands of time prove
00:34:11Those gifts we reject
00:34:13Craving more
00:34:14So much that all we devour
00:34:16Turns sour
00:34:17All we now crave is power
00:34:20Power over sister
00:34:22Brother
00:34:23Mother
00:34:24Not caring for one another
00:34:26Nothing familiar
00:34:27Earth scarred and bruised from our relentless hunger
00:34:32Are we any stronger?
00:34:35Is there anything left when we are gone?
00:34:40What have we done?
00:34:42Mariah's performance is different vibes
00:34:50And I love that for her
00:34:51Would you love it for yourself?
00:34:54I would not love it for myself
00:34:56Back to the UK now
00:35:00This performer has a phobia of frogs
00:35:02And blames her vocal fry
00:35:03On a frog that jumped into her mouth
00:35:05When she was a child
00:35:07I'm told the two things aren't connected
00:35:09Say hello to Sminty Drop
00:35:11Hi
00:35:15I'm depressed
00:35:17What happened?
00:35:18Are you okay?
00:35:18No, I'm not okay
00:35:19Why would you even ask that?
00:35:20I literally got eliminated
00:35:22It's okay, calm down
00:35:23What did you do when you left?
00:35:24I don't even know
00:35:25It's all a blur
00:35:26But I think it went something like this
00:35:29Turn it round
00:35:31Bend it down
00:35:33And literally just start crying
00:35:35Now drop, drop, drop
00:35:37Make it rock, rock, rock
00:35:38Shoulder pop, pop, pop
00:35:40And remember, you're still crying
00:35:41When you burn off all your hair
00:35:43Just breathe and throw that derriere
00:35:45Just fwerk, fwerk, fwerk, fwerk
00:35:47Just fwerk
00:35:47I'm a mess
00:35:48When the drag race judges send you packing
00:35:50Don't hold it back
00:35:51Just shake that bag
00:35:52And fwerk, fwerk, fwerk, fwerk
00:35:53Or just kill them
00:35:54When someone calls Michelle a slut
00:35:57Just let it all out
00:35:57Vibrate that button
00:35:58Fwerk, fwerk, fwerk, fwerk
00:36:00Even if it's the truth
00:36:01When RuPaul's looking old and tired
00:36:03And oh my god, she's looking at me
00:36:05Just fwerk
00:36:05Fwerk, fwerk, fwerk
00:36:06You're so beautiful
00:36:08Baby, are you still
00:36:10What the f-
00:36:11What the f-
00:36:25Yeah baby
00:36:28To be fair to her
00:36:29She's taken the one memorable thing about her
00:36:31And she's spun it into gold
00:36:33Am I wrong?
00:36:36And now the Philippines
00:36:38This is Minty Fresh from Planet Fresh.
00:36:41Oh, wait, no, that's just the name of the song.
00:36:43That's a shame.
00:36:44I thought she might be delivering some lovely organic vegetables.
00:36:48This is not a test.
00:36:50Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:36:55I feel the fire in my orbit, cause I'm ready to fight.
00:36:59I'm the future innovating, stepping into the light.
00:37:02Paws is rushing, I'm feeling the force highlight.
00:37:05I'm taking over the world, my time is tonight.
00:37:09All the stars in the sky, my wings are ready to fly.
00:37:13Supernatural fantasy, colors the night and day.
00:37:17With my face, hear me say.
00:37:21Fresh the spot.
00:37:22Ice cold, but it's hot tonight.
00:37:24Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:37:26Very smart, but you can't deny.
00:37:27Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:37:29Ice cold, but it's hot tonight.
00:37:31Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:37:32Very smart, but you can't deny.
00:37:34Planet Fresh is ready for the minty fever.
00:37:38Make it hotter.
00:37:39Planet Fresh.
00:37:41Minty got me blinded by the lights and smoke.
00:37:44But babes, she's gorgeous.
00:37:46Make it hotter.
00:37:49Yay!
00:37:50Come on, lightsaber.
00:37:53And now, the United Kingdom.
00:37:56Kate Butch is her name.
00:37:58What qualifies her for Roo-O-Vision?
00:37:59Well, she has three GCSEs, a bronze swimming certificate and IBS.
00:38:04I'm back to see Roo-Paul.
00:38:10I can't believe it's true.
00:38:12That legally I'm allowed again to stand within ten feet of you.
00:38:16Last time I did my best.
00:38:18My drag was big and bold.
00:38:20But then I got sent home by a fucking nineteen year old.
00:38:25The whole thing was a farce.
00:38:28But this time I won't be eclipsed by Ginger Johnson's massive talent.
00:38:33And maybe this time, maybe this time I won't be shit.
00:38:39This is the chance for Kate Butch to take over.
00:38:42As long as there isn't another makeover.
00:38:44Alan and Graham will put me in front.
00:38:45Insert name of guest judge.
00:38:46You seem like a dream.
00:38:47I won't make such a mess of this hell.
00:38:49If you can't love yourself, then just blame Michelle.
00:38:51I won't live this season so mentally ill.
00:38:53If Roo-Paul will favour my therapy bill.
00:38:55And maybe this time, perhaps on this occasion, possibly today.
00:39:02I won't be shoved to the side, required to hide.
00:39:05I'll show you my talents, I'll fill you with pride.
00:39:07My time I will bide, I won't step aside.
00:39:08If this goes to shit, I'll commit to working even harder to impress you.
00:39:13But if I am shit, there's worse things to be.
00:39:17Let everyone else, oh yes, let everyone else.
00:39:20I just need everyone else to be a shitter than me.
00:39:29And half of them are doing that already.
00:39:30Yes!
00:39:39Pitch perfect.
00:39:40Pitch tone perfection.
00:39:43And funny.
00:39:44How do I get down from here?
00:39:45And finally, Mexico.
00:39:48Now this act has an unfortunate habit of falling into the audience when she performs.
00:39:52Watch out, Roo-Paul.
00:39:54With an illuminating song, this is Serena Morena.
00:39:57And for today, I'm releasing a beautiful plaything.
00:40:11They call it, The Decorito.
00:40:13It's silicone, I know.
00:40:17But it feels really numb.
00:40:19It's ready on my bed.
00:40:23It looks very great.
00:40:25And it starts to be brave.
00:40:28Muslims.
00:40:31It's in two batteries.
00:40:35Something doesn't work anymore.
00:40:39Now what I'm looking for is very soft.
00:40:42He's very soft
00:40:44Oh my gosh!
00:40:46Hey, you're my pochita
00:40:50Now I feel terrible
00:40:54It's unstoppable
00:40:56Oh my gosh
00:40:58I want it out
00:41:00And it's not coming now
00:41:04Oh! Oh!
00:41:06Footsteps on the floor
00:41:08London, open the door
00:41:10Holy cow
00:41:16Don't open the door
00:41:24Serena, a girl after my own heart
00:41:26Girl, you can leave that in my station
00:41:36Category is for Queen and Country
00:41:38Up first, Santana
00:41:44This look is inspired by my favorite thing about Sweden
00:41:46Ebba! The Dancing Queen has arrived
00:41:48Mamma mia, here we go again
00:41:50Did you know that the Queen of Sweden is Brazilian?
00:41:54Did you know that the Queen of Sweden is Brazilian?
00:41:56So come on, step aside
00:41:58There's a new queen taking over the throne
00:42:00You spin me right crown
00:42:02Right crown, baby
00:42:04Right crown
00:42:06I am shaking the house down
00:42:08I am pretending I do this every day
00:42:10But bitch, we're doing this in front of RuPaul
00:42:12I can see the crown, Fernando
00:42:18Up next, Godlin
00:42:20This look is appetizing
00:42:22I am serving you tom yum kung soup
00:42:24But it's lobster
00:42:26Because it's luxury
00:42:28Oh my god
00:42:30I've created a lobster
00:42:32I am so proud
00:42:34I am able to bring Thai food to the international stage
00:42:40Give her a round of claws
00:42:44My body is rhinestone
00:42:45Even my claw is rhinestone
00:42:48Ow!
00:42:49Pinch her?
00:42:50I don't even know her
00:42:53And I have this pot on my head
00:42:55The soup is splashing out of the pot
00:42:57Wow!
00:42:58Let's taste this
00:43:00Listen, if you can't be shellfish
00:43:01Who are you gonna be?
00:43:02Somebody else
00:43:03Thank you
00:43:07Up next, Zahaira Zapanta
00:43:10She's a big fan of TikTok
00:43:11She is
00:43:13The concept for my queen and country look is the big band
00:43:16She's ahead of her time
00:43:19I am serving gilded gold
00:43:22The bodice is inspired by Queen Victoria
00:43:24Because the big band was created during her reign
00:43:28Show me where the big hand touched you
00:43:31Each and every watch is pointing at 3 o'clock
00:43:35My time on UK vs the World season what?
00:43:383
00:43:39The only kind of Ben I want is a big Ben
00:43:41Up next, Melinda Verga
00:43:45She's all ready for the Calgary Stampede
00:43:48Let's go girls
00:43:50My runway is inspired by our cowboy culture in Alberta, Canada
00:43:57This runway ain't big enough for the two of us
00:43:59Or the two of us
00:44:01I'm fringe darling from head to toe
00:44:04What's on my arms and legs?
00:44:06Fringe, fringe, fringe
00:44:08Maybe leave her alone
00:44:10I know I look good
00:44:13I am bling bling bling bling bling in
00:44:15You can see me all the way from Calgary, Alberta
00:44:18Yee-haw!
00:44:20Tell Celine we love her
00:44:21Yes!
00:44:24Up next, the only Naomi
00:44:27Ooh, you better church!
00:44:29I'm wearing this beautiful 3D printed cologne cathedral
00:44:34And I'm soaking up every second of this
00:44:37Forgive me mother for I have sinned
00:44:40I'm really feeling my gothic energy
00:44:44I can't help but rub these towers, baby
00:44:48She's got quite the set of staples
00:44:51And when I turn around, there's the beautiful German flag
00:44:56With our first amendment written on it
00:44:58Somebody's taking her up the aisle
00:45:00Oh yeah!
00:45:01This is so awesome!
00:45:03Standing in front of Mama Ru
00:45:05It's such a sweet moment
00:45:07And I couldn't be more proud to represent Germany on this stage
00:45:12Up next, Mariah Balenciaga
00:45:15I wonder if she knows under these bright lights
00:45:17We can see a little bit of facial hair
00:45:19No!
00:45:21My queen and country look is representing the real history
00:45:24Of what truly makes America great
00:45:26The black cowboy
00:45:27And I am here to teach the children
00:45:29Ooh, somebody's giving mustache rides
00:45:32The stache is my invitation to anybody out there
00:45:35Save a horse, ride a mustache
00:45:38Whip it baby, whip it real good
00:45:40Yes!
00:45:42Normally when I do runways, they're more glamorous
00:45:44And a little bit more reserved
00:45:46So this one I'm having a little bit more fun
00:45:48And my more sluttier side
00:45:50Hold your horses
00:45:55Up next, Sminty Drop
00:45:58I chose this look because all of the swans in the UK
00:46:01Are protected by the royal family
00:46:03I am serving you swan eleganza
00:46:06Swanderful
00:46:08I'm literally cinched within an inch of my life
00:46:12But I'm still waddling down here like a little duck
00:46:15Room service, my duvet is just an empty sack
00:46:19You've heard of swan lake, but have you ever heard of swan fake tan?
00:46:23I've got shimmery tanned oil all over my arms
00:46:27So this could go from white to beige real quick
00:46:30Ladies and gentlemen, the new bird flew
00:46:32The judges are gagged
00:46:35They have never seen anything of this gorgeous
00:46:38And they've definitely not seen it tonight until now
00:46:40Minty fresh
00:46:42This isn't a patch in our other dress
00:46:43For my queen and country look, my inspiration was the thrift shops in the Philippines
00:46:56We call it the ukay ukay
00:46:58Well, she's on the rag
00:47:00I just had to, guys
00:47:02When I was starting drag, the ukay ukay shops were my main source of fashionable pieces
00:47:09It's like a full circle moment bringing ukay ukay to the UK
00:47:13She's a material girl, definitely
00:47:16It's a very traditional silhouette in my country
00:47:21It's funny, I love it so much
00:47:23This is one of the most meaningful looks that I brought
00:47:26Ah, to live the sample life
00:47:28Yes
00:47:31Up next, Serena Morena
00:47:34Now that's a sleeve
00:47:38I'm serving on this first runway
00:47:41A traditional Mexican look
00:47:43It's called Danza de los Matlachines
00:47:46Yes, she Mexican
00:47:49It's a big headpiece with a lot of feathers
00:47:53I'm feeling sensual
00:47:55Like a goddess
00:47:57Showing them my virgin of Guadalupe
00:47:59Well, she can never sneak up on anybody in this outfit
00:48:02No!
00:48:04This full look represents all about Mexico
00:48:06So, I'm very proud
00:48:08I'm very excited to wear it
00:48:10To walk in this main stage
00:48:12Viva Mexico!
00:48:15Kate Butch
00:48:17You know, God hates flags
00:48:19Yeah, yeah
00:48:20I am wearing a Vivienne Westwood-inspired dress
00:48:24Which represents Britain's colonial past
00:48:27Drag is political
00:48:29And this is making a statement
00:48:31Oh, bloody hell
00:48:33The blood on my hands
00:48:35Shows the terrible things that we have done to countries all around the world
00:48:39I've got pearl earrings for the pearl trade
00:48:41Oh, I hate it when they leave the pole in
00:48:43This dress is made from vintage flags
00:48:47It's weathered
00:48:48It's battered
00:48:50It's not pretty
00:48:52But it is stunning
00:48:57Welcome ladies
00:48:59When I call your name
00:49:00Please step forward
00:49:01Zahaira Zapanta
00:49:04Melinda Verga
00:49:07Mariah Valenciaga
00:49:09Minty Fresh
00:49:12Serena Morena
00:49:15You are all safe
00:49:18You may leave the stage
00:49:22Queens
00:49:29Queens
00:49:31In the spirit of getting to know you better
00:49:33No one will be going home tonight
00:49:36You represent the tops of the week
00:49:41Oh my God!
00:49:43I'm not in the bottom, I'm in the top
00:49:44I did it! Mom, do you see this? I did it!
00:49:47I did it!
00:49:49And later tonight, I will choose two of you to lip sync for the win
00:49:54And the others will be left behind to wash my car
00:50:00Now it's time for the judges critique
00:50:02Starting with Fontana
00:50:04As we all know, Sweden very good at the Eurovision
00:50:07And it turns out Sweden very good at the Ruruvision
00:50:11You threw everything at it
00:50:13I thought in a minute there will be tea and coffee making facilities
00:50:18Does she do laundry?
00:50:19And then you come out in this look
00:50:20And I'm like, yes she does
00:50:21There's a spin drive facility
00:50:23I've been watching you for a while
00:50:26It started in Sweden
00:50:27And what I love about you is you have a strong spirit
00:50:30I can see that you believe in yourself
00:50:32That will take you very very long, my love
00:50:34This look tonight is very ABBA
00:50:36The crown represents
00:50:37Dancing Queen, my favorite song
00:50:39It's adorable
00:50:40And you are adorable
00:50:42So I look forward to what else you got
00:50:44So tell me about your song
00:50:45I wrote this song, we just wanted an anthem
00:50:47Everyone has been oppressed
00:50:49When we fight back, people don't like that
00:50:51And I'm here tonight
00:50:53It's been my biggest dream to be here and to get here
00:50:56The journey wasn't easy
00:50:58So I want to tell everyone out there
00:51:00But now we're making thunder
00:51:01So let's be stronger together
00:51:03All right, well thank you very much
00:51:05Thank you
00:51:06Up next
00:51:07Yes, Godland
00:51:08Godland
00:51:11That number was pure energy
00:51:15The highlight was when you took that sparkler gun
00:51:18And you shot it at us, super dramatic
00:51:20And then you shot it in your mouth
00:51:21I was a bit scared
00:51:23We do not recommend you do this at home
00:51:24Is it something you do often?
00:51:25No, it's my first time
00:51:26Okay, great
00:51:28Godland, the first thing I was thinking
00:51:30When I saw you do your performance was like
00:51:32Wow, this queen is a great creator
00:51:34And I got a bunch of ideas from my own shop
00:51:37This outfit, yes, it is you dressed as an lobster
00:51:40But it has so much glamour to it
00:51:43My expectations are always very high for queens from Thailand
00:51:46But you've outshone them
00:51:48Thank you
00:51:50That number, oh my gosh, it was so much fun
00:51:52What does it mean to you to be on this stage?
00:51:54Wow, Mama, this is like the dream come true moment for me
00:51:58Because it means a lot for my culture
00:52:01And I'm so proud that I am now representing Thailand
00:52:05Yes, you are
00:52:07Beautifully so
00:52:09Thank you
00:52:11Up next, the only Naomi
00:52:13I loved your performance
00:52:15It was really weird and crazy
00:52:18I think there were a few glitches your outfit was opening up before you got to do the reveal
00:52:23That's showbiz, you keep going on and that's exactly what you did
00:52:26And then the contrast between that and this
00:52:29I think was a really smart move
00:52:31And it really transported us
00:52:33Absolutely amazing dress
00:52:35I just love your creative ideas
00:52:38And that colour palette looks just like tattoo
00:52:40Hello?
00:52:41I thought of you
00:52:43Naomi, your number was completely ridiculous
00:52:47We don't think of German people as having such a huge sense of humour
00:52:50Are you just the anomaly?
00:52:52The only anomaly?
00:52:54I am the only German queen to ever be here
00:52:57So I'll just say yes
00:52:59And tell me about the flag, what does it say on there?
00:53:02As a little nod to our wild German history
00:53:05I have the German first amendment on there
00:53:08Which in English it would be
00:53:09The dignity of humanity is untouchable
00:53:12And I really try to live by that day by day
00:53:15Lovely, thank you
00:53:17Up next, Sminty Drop
00:53:19You know sometimes when people do a kind of self-referential thing
00:53:23It turns out no one is as interested in them as they are
00:53:26But that wasn't the case with this
00:53:30I love the way you elevated it
00:53:32Till it just became so cartoonish
00:53:34This dress, you look absolutely crazy amazing in this
00:53:38My god
00:53:40You look like the end of a Galliano show
00:53:43Where they bring out the bridal look
00:53:45And you wear it like nobody else would wear it
00:53:47And listen, that number was a ridiculous
00:53:51So stupid
00:53:53And that sad twerk was so funny
00:53:55I think you did it four or five times
00:53:56My back says ten
00:53:58Oh my god, Sminty, so good to have you back
00:54:01I'm just honestly so happy to be back
00:54:03I just want to show everyone that I'm not just a pretty face
00:54:05I'm also a crack in selling
00:54:07That's right
00:54:10Up next, Kate Butch
00:54:12I'm so proud of you tonight
00:54:14You were singing live, so there's no safety net at all
00:54:17Alan and Graham will put me in front
00:54:19Insert name of guest judge, you seem like a dream
00:54:21Not easy to do a patter song and land the jokes
00:54:23I thought it was really, really good
00:54:27I just loved how you played with words
00:54:29You're a great storyteller
00:54:31But it was also nice to see your dad in this outfit here
00:54:33There is definitely some story to this, please enlighten us
00:54:35Historically, the UK, we literally have blood on our hands
00:54:37But even now, the UK, we have blood on our hands
00:54:39But even now, the UK, we have blood on our hands
00:54:42And now, the UK, we have blood on our hands
00:54:44We have blood on our hands
00:54:45But even now, the UK is a hotbed of horrors
00:54:50Especially for people who are poor or disabled or trans
00:54:55And I didn't want to bring an outfit that gave me pride in the UK
00:55:00Because I think there should be some shame in what we've done
00:55:04And what we continue to do
00:55:06I think that was a great way to do your point of view the way you wanted to do it
00:55:09Thank you
00:55:10And this dress is gorgeous
00:55:11Just so powerful
00:55:13And singing live on this stage is always a risk
00:55:17But nothing went wrong
00:55:18Your voice was perfection
00:55:20Are you proud of your night tonight?
00:55:22I'm thrilled
00:55:23I've waited a long time to hear you guys say that I had a nice outfit on the runway
00:55:28Good on you tonight
00:55:30Thank you
00:55:31Thank you, Queens
00:55:32I think we've heard enough
00:55:34While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate
00:55:37You may leave the stage
00:55:41So ladies, what do you feel to be safe today?
00:55:45Oh Miss Girl
00:55:47I see faces very serious, I don't know why
00:55:51I'm surprised I'm not in the top
00:55:53So we're back in Untucked
00:55:55And I feel a little bit pressed
00:55:58A little bit plucked
00:56:00I wanted to be critiqued by Ru
00:56:02And I wanted to hear what she thought
00:56:04I was fully expecting to be up there right now
00:56:07I mean, I'm always grateful to be safe
00:56:09But I was expecting to be tough
00:56:11I was worried
00:56:13Because I arrived here and I had lost my voice
00:56:16Like I could hear every single little technical detail
00:56:20Where I was just not it today, honey
00:56:22Sis, I know what I did
00:56:23I'm not DeLulu
00:56:25My own take on this performance
00:56:275 out of 10
00:56:29Let's think that we are not in the bottom
00:56:32Exactly, we do it well
00:56:34Not very well, but we aren't in the bottom
00:56:37Honestly, I'm a little bit confused
00:56:39Because like, you think they're all tops
00:56:41To me, I feel like they were all so strong
00:56:43Apart from Miss Naomi
00:56:46I feel like as a seasoned performer
00:56:48You don't brag about walking
00:56:50And you're stumbling and fumbling
00:56:51When you're a model and you have a pair of sticks like that
00:56:54You have to be able to use them
00:56:56Exactly
00:56:58What do you think is going to happen?
00:56:59Do you think it's a top and bottom situation?
00:57:00Maybe we're just overthinking things now
00:57:01Because we're not drinking enough
00:57:03I always do that when I don't drink enough
00:57:04I overthink
00:57:10Ooh
00:57:12Yeah, babies! Welcome back!
00:57:14Back in Untucked
00:57:16And I feel so good
00:57:18Good!
00:57:20Club time!
00:57:22I feel like I'm starting the competition so strong
00:57:25Ooh
00:57:27Wow!
00:57:28I'm kinda guessing
00:57:29Were y'all tops?
00:57:32It's quite difficult to say but
00:57:34We are all in the top
00:57:36Yay!
00:57:38Thank you so much
00:57:39So if they're all in the top
00:57:42It makes us the bottom half
00:57:47Really?
00:57:49It was amazing!
00:57:51The main reason I'm here
00:57:53Is I want nice critiques on my runways
00:57:55And that is what I got
00:57:56I do have to shout out thank you to Sminty
00:57:58For shaving me back
00:58:00Kate looks great
00:58:01Truly anything can happen
00:58:04Mark your calendars
00:58:05The judges liked my look
00:58:07This is a big day
00:58:09I'm very happy to be honest
00:58:11Because in my first season
00:58:12The only time I got critiques was negative
00:58:14So just having something nice about my drag
00:58:16Being sad by Eru
00:58:18It's surreal
00:58:20That is everything
00:58:22I'm just really overwhelmed
00:58:24I feel very seen by the judges in this moment
00:58:26This is so nice
00:58:28I'm really curious
00:58:30What all of the safe girls thought
00:58:32When all of us were on the stage
00:58:34If we had to split it here
00:58:36Yeah we did say that
00:58:38Naomi was like
00:58:39Oh maybe she's in the bottom
00:58:41Out of the five
00:58:43Out of the five
00:58:44Girl really?
00:58:45Right now?
00:58:46What is she on about?
00:58:48For what reason?
00:58:51The walk
00:58:52I don't know
00:58:53We didn't know if it was intentional
00:58:54Yeah, so just to be frank
00:58:56First
00:58:58You turned around a few times
00:59:00And you were stumbling
00:59:03Zahaira is not mincing her words
00:59:05I just want to be straight up with you
00:59:07Miss thing is stirring the shit pot
00:59:09And I'm here for it
00:59:11In this moment right now
00:59:13Just me being emotional
00:59:14It kind of feels like you're raining on my parade
00:59:15No, not at all
00:59:17Feeling like the other queens would put me in the bottom
00:59:19All I can think is
00:59:20They would have sent me home
00:59:22If there was an elimination
00:59:23And that's a really shitty position to be in
00:59:26What's so sad for you that that wasn't the case?
00:59:29Ah!
00:59:33There is the first gold Ru-Peter badge up for grabs
00:59:36I think I'm going to go and have a little listen
00:59:38To that lip sync song
00:59:40Can you shave me back again?
00:59:41I think it's grown back
00:59:43Absolutely
00:59:45Alright, now just between us girlfriends
00:59:46I want to hear from you
00:59:48Starting with Fontana
00:59:49Fontana. In the spirit of Rurovision, that song had everything. It had all the tricks.
00:59:54There was a lot of things happening, but you know, I do appreciate that in Nardis.
01:00:00And then her ABBA Dancing Queen tribute was adorable.
01:00:03I knew immediately what she was representing. Fabulous. I thought Fontana did a great job.
01:00:08All right, let's talk about Godland.
01:00:09Godland has started this competition with one almighty mic drop.
01:00:13I have arrived, and I am the one to watch.
01:00:17I also love the fact that the performance was very simple. It was just her and her gun.
01:00:23I felt so safe with her because it had a lot of words, and she had a lot of business to get done in that number, and she got it all done.
01:00:30And then the runway tonight. Fashion and kitsch and drag. She looked gorgeous.
01:00:36The only Naomi.
01:00:37She told us a story. I liked going through the whole journey of her production number.
01:00:42Performance wasn't really crisp, crisp.
01:00:44I felt it needed maybe, I don't know, another week's rehearsal.
01:00:48Yeah, let's put it on today.
01:00:49And then the contrast between that and that beautiful, somber runway.
01:00:55How clever.
01:00:56Let me tell you why she's in the top.
01:00:58Her number embodied the wackadoodle craziness of drag, and I just have to take my wig off to that.
01:01:06All right, Sminty Drop.
01:01:08Love that she reclaimed her sad twerk, which she's renamed Swerk.
01:01:12If the Duracell bunny could sad twerk, that's what it was. It was just frenzied.
01:01:17And then on the runway, my goodness, you want to talk exquisite. Executed perfectly.
01:01:22Her sense of style, she is mesmerizing.
01:01:25So beautiful. And the way she sold that sad twerk, it was ridiculous, and I love ridiculous.
01:01:32Kate Butch.
01:01:33We had two live singers tonight.
01:01:35Three.
01:01:36Yeah.
01:01:36One was good.
01:01:39Oh, oh, the shell.
01:01:41None of the other queens could have attempted that.
01:01:43You've got to write jokes, and then we've got to hear the jokes.
01:01:46You've got to have time to laugh at the jokes.
01:01:48She did all of that.
01:01:50On the runway, she wanted to be political.
01:01:52I loved that look on her.
01:01:53I love it when there's a meaning to what you're wearing.
01:01:55The outfit was beautiful on its own.
01:01:57That was a huge leap forward for Kate Butch.
01:02:00Oh, yeah.
01:02:01But then, of course, having the message to it.
01:02:02It's fantastic.
01:02:03All right.
01:02:04Silence.
01:02:05I have made my decision.
01:02:07Bring back my girls.
01:02:09Welcome back, ladies.
01:02:11I've made some decisions.
01:02:15The only Naomi.
01:02:19Oh, Shiza, you're safe.
01:02:22You may join the other girls.
01:02:23Godlin.
01:02:33Give yourself a round of a claws.
01:02:37Condragulations.
01:02:38You are one of the top two queens of the week.
01:02:42Congratulations, baby.
01:02:48Sminty Drop.
01:02:50You're quite a bird,
01:02:51and you're plucked for the gods.
01:02:56Kate Butch.
01:02:58This time,
01:02:59on this occasion,
01:03:01you're absolutely fantastic.
01:03:04Fontana.
01:03:06Can you hear the drums, Fontana?
01:03:12Congratulations.
01:03:13You're the other top queen of the week.
01:03:17What is going on?
01:03:19Oh, my RuPaul.
01:03:22Sminty Drop.
01:03:23Kate Butch.
01:03:24You're both safe.
01:03:25You may join the other girls.
01:03:27Non-binary panic.
01:03:28Gay panic.
01:03:29Oh, my Gaga.
01:03:33Two queens stand before me.
01:03:35I've consulted with the judges,
01:03:40but the final decision is mine to make.
01:03:43Prior to tonight,
01:03:44you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance
01:03:47of Tattoo by Laureen.
01:03:50Ladies,
01:03:51this is your chance
01:03:53to impress me
01:03:54and win the first gold
01:03:57Ru Peter badge
01:03:59of the season.
01:04:00The time has come
01:04:04for you
01:04:06to lip-sync
01:04:07for
01:04:09the

01:04:15Fontana!
01:04:17Watch out, girl!
01:04:18You're not
01:04:20gonna win.
01:04:21Good luck
01:04:22and don't
01:04:24fuck it
01:04:26I don't wanna go
01:04:37But baby,
01:04:39we both know
01:04:40This is not a time
01:04:43It's time to say goodbye
01:04:46Islands playing

01:05:19It's all that I got
01:05:21No
01:05:22Islands playing
01:05:25And the angels crying
01:05:28When the stars
01:05:30are lining
01:05:31I'll be there
01:05:33No one will care

01:05:38And all I care
01:05:40about is you
01:05:41It's not gonna be
01:05:43I get to take the floor
01:05:45No one will care

01:05:47I want to fire

01:06:10Yeah
01:06:11Yeah
01:06:11Yeah
01:06:12I want to
01:06:15I can't
01:06:16I want to
01:06:16I can't
01:06:17I don't
01:06:18I can't
01:06:18I can't
01:06:19I can't
01:06:19I can't
01:06:20I can't
01:06:21Ladies, I've made my decision.
01:06:40Fontana, congratulations, you're a winner, baby.
01:06:46Yes!
01:06:49Thank you so much.
01:06:51Oh, my God!
01:06:59We're going to need a bigger bucket.
01:07:04This is absolutely crazy.
01:07:05The Swedish-Brazilian beauty has officially arrived.
01:07:09You've won a coveted gold Ru-Pita badge.
01:07:19Wear it with pride and think of Sweden.
01:07:22Yay!
01:07:24Godlin, you are free to slay another day.
01:07:29Good job.
01:07:31Condragulations, ladies, but beware.
01:07:33Next week, the eliminations begin.
01:07:37But for now, remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody
01:07:44else?
01:07:44Can I get an amen up in here?
01:07:45Amen!
01:07:46All right, now let the music play.
01:07:49Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the world, you need to take a drag look from the past and
01:07:55rework it into a fresh frock for the future.
01:07:58But here's the twist.
01:08:00Walk.
01:08:00It takes a lot for this jaw to hit the ground, and it did.
01:08:04It's just the way that sort of hangs limp across your tits.
01:08:10Mother 8.
01:08:12Is that right?
01:08:13Yes!
01:08:14Miss Godlin, are you still mad?
01:08:21What?
