Rupaul's Drag Race Uk Vs The World - Season 3 Episode 1 - Ruruvision Song Contest
Transcript
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-sucking 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, Laureen.
00:00:44Newball Grand Great, say the best drag queen wins.
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.
00:01:23He's Cliff. It's me. I'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.
00:01:47That was the only thing I got negative critiques on.
00:01:49That and the smell.
00:01:51Just waiting 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.
00:02:05Oh! Oh!
00:02:07Wings!
00:02:09Who could it possibly be?
00:02:13Fontana in the Casa, baby!
00:02:19I'm 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!
00:02:35I am off!
00:02:36How are you?
00:02:37All right, don't poke me in the eye.
00:02:38I'm Fontana.
00:02:39So nice to meet you.
00:02:40I'm Kate. It'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 Brittany 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?
00:03:16Vulevu.
00:03:17It's Abba, babe!
00:03:19That's your people!
00:03:20Abba, come back!
00:03:21I 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!
00:03:37Who is it?
00:03:38Oh, my God!
00:03:39What's happening?
00:03:40Who is it?
00:03:41Long hair.
00:03:42Is it Marge 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!
00:03:48Oh, my God!
00:03:49I am Godland.
00:03:51Oh, my God.
00:03:52She's shining.
00:03:53And I am a little bitch from Thailand.
00:03:57You want to fight?
00:04:00I'mma punch your face down, baby!
00:04:03Do we need to call security?
00:04:10I'm frightened.
00:04:13I'm joking.
00:04:17She's tiny.
00:04:18I could push her over very easily.
00:04:20I'm caught.
00:04:21Woo!
00:04:22And I was in Drag Race Thailand season three.
00:04:24And how did you do?
00:04:25Top three.
00:04:26Oh, my God!
00:04:27Yes!
00:04:28My favorite moment in my season is definitely having two wins, makeover challenge and rusical.
00:04:35Hmm.
00:04:36If you come to my show, you're going to see the stunts.
00:04:40Ah!
00:04:41And definitely, you're going to see the skin.
00:04:43Michelle, I'm sorry, but I love to rely on my body because I got a good one.
00:04:49Are you going to be big competition?
00:04:51Are we going to go Thailand against Sweden, Brazil up in here?
00:04:55Santana, I don't think that we're going to go against each other.
00:04:59Let's shop the colonizers!
00:05:02Getting this call to be here in the UK is the biggest opportunity ever.
00:05:08I will show you Thai drag X-Lens.
00:05:12Oh!
00:05:13Oh!
00:05:14Oh!
00:05:15It's happening!
00:05:16Something is happening!
00:05:17Oh, my God!
00:05:18Oh, my God!
00:05:19Security!
00:05:20Oh, my God!
00:05:21Oh, my God!
00:05:22Oh, my God!
00:05:23Whoa!
00:05:24Oh!
00:05:25Piss it off!
00:05:26Yeah!
00:05:27It's Zahaira!
00:05:29No way!
00:05:30From RuPaul's Drag Race UK season six.
00:05:33Z-Z-Z-Zahaira!
00:05:34It's like a love a lot.
00:05:36Like a spindly spider!
00:05:39Well...
00:05:40I was supposed to be the beauty of the season.
00:05:43Ah!
00:05:44Ah!
00:05:45We're the ugly ones at.
00:05:46Can we please get an ugly one?
00:05:47Right, come over here, you bastard!
00:05:49Come over here!
00:05:50Ah!
00:05:51Ah!
00:05:52Someone 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...
00:06:03I'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.
00:06:16Catch me every episode and be sick of me.
00:06:18I'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 the 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 home.
00:06:28I'm ready.
00:06:29You better work, bitch.
00:06:30We'll see.
00:06:31I don't really care what the other girls think.
00:06:34I'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!
00:06:50Oh my God!
00:06:51What?
00:06:52What?
00:06:53Yeah!
00:06:54What?
00:06:55Guten Morgen!
00:06:56Drag Race Germany come through!
00:06:58My name is the only Naomi.
00:07:00Wer das liest, ist dumm.
00:07:03I don't speak a word of 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.
00:07:17I am one of the many capes.
00:07:19Am 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 mug in Germany.
00:07:26That's what we do.
00:07:28How did you do?
00:07:29Very good.
00:07:30Very good.
00:07:31I was runner up.
00:07:32Wow!
00:07:33From the bottom.
00:07:34Yeah!
00:07:35My elimination set the internet on fire.
00:07:39It is what it is.
00:07:40They all thought I was robbed, so thank you for sending me home so early, because now I'm
00:07:45back.
00:07:46What are you going to do differently then?
00:07:48I bring a helmet.
00:07:49What does it say?
00:07:50I say to see.
00:07:51What does that mean?
00:07:52Yeah, that's basically someone who's over obsessed with their appearance, but not very
00:07:55smart, so I thought it was fitting.
00:07:57Oh, yay, I'm not the dumb queen that sees it.
00:08:01Oh, yay!
00:08:02Am I ready to take on the world?
00:08:03Is she?
00:08:04Is she?
00:08:05Wow!
00:08:06There's no going back now.
00:08:07It's really good.
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:09Yeah, let's go.
00:08:10Let's do it.
00:08:11I'm ready.
00:08:12Oh, oh, oh.
00:08:14Oh, oh, oh.
00:08:15Oh, my God.
00:08:16Oh!
00:08:17Body.
00:08:19An arm.
00:08:21Oh, my God!
00:08:24Yes!
00:08:25Hi, I'm Mariah Balenciaga from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3 and All Stars 5.
00:08:30And I'm the only OG that still doesn't have fillers.
00:08:34The mug is back, stacked, and ready to attack.
00:08:38Yes!
00:08:39Oh, my God!
00:08:40No, I'm goofed.
00:08:41Oh, I definitely know who this one is,
00:08:43because who wouldn't know Mariah?
00:08:45She's ancient.
00:08:48Good morrow!
00:08:50Good morrow to you!
00:08:52I don't know what country that's from,
00:08:54but I know it's delicious.
00:08:55It feels like Shakespeare as well.
00:08:57Oh, my God.
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 I ever watched.
00:09:19You're, like, honestly, one of my inspirations in drag.
00:09:23If I had two ducks, y'all would make me cry.
00:09:26I really never thought I was going to say yes again.
00:09:28But the fact that it's the international season,
00:09:31well, that's a whole other challenge.
00:09:33We all know who you are.
00:09:35Do you actually recognize some of us?
00:09:37You know, I say this at the bars all the time.
00:09:39That's such a rude question to ask.
00:09:43Look, you can ask my age.
00:09:45Just don't ask if I remember you.
00:09:47The girls may think they know who I am.
00:09:51Prepare to gag on my eleganza.
00:09:54But I'm here to prove that an older bitch can learn new tricks.
00:09:59Oh, oh, come on! Oh, it's up!
00:10:02Oh, oh, here we go!
00:10:03Oh, they've got a bag!
00:10:04Oh!
00:10:06No!
00:10:07You're lying!
00:10:10Hi, I'm Sminty Drop.
00:10:12Get out!
00:10:13The Manchester mannequin is not panicking anymore.
00:10:16She is back and hotter than ever, honey.
00:10:18Consider your jaw dropped.
00:10:25Describing my drag in a few words would be
00:10:27face of a supermodel, brain of a supernoodle.
00:10:33Hi!
00:10:35Honestly, I'm so happy to see my son of Matt, Jessica.
00:10:38I know, I'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.
00:10:53I was in the top for the looks challenge.
00:10:54And most importantly, I was known for my iconic sad twerk.
00:11:02I didn't win a single badge though.
00:11:06So, hopefully this time around that can change.
00:11:09Do us a happy twerk.
00:11:10Come on, happy twerk.
00:11:11Yay!
00:11:13I am ready to be queen of the mother tucking world!
00:11:18Ooh, I've got a massage chair going here.
00:11:23Oh, God!
00:11:25Who is it?
00:11:27Oh, here we go!
00:11:30Here we go!
00:11:31Wow!
00:11:32Hi, 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.
00:11:44I know Minty and she is drag icon, legend.
00:11:51Hi, Philippines!
00:11:52Hi, I'm Minty.
00:11:53Minty Fresh.
00:11:54Hi!
00:11:55Our names are pretty similar.
00:11:56There might be a little bit of confusion there.
00:11:58Yeah.
00:11:59Minty 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 top.
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 how she did.
00:12:17Am I gonna spell?
00:12:18She won her talent show.
00:12:20Oh!
00:12:22And 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.
00:12:33As 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.
00:12:42Well, if you're taking revenge for a fallen sister, can I be the first one to offer you my seat?
00:12:46Oh!
00:12:48Drag industry in the Philippines is a powerhouse.
00:12:51We're not just the look.
00:12:53The Filipino queens should dominate the world.
00:12:58Oh, gosh.
00:12:59Oh, my God, who is it?
00:13:01Oh!
00:13:08Hello, babes.
00:13:09I am Serena Morena from Drag Race Mexico.
00:13:12I'm gonna pray for these sinners.
00:13:16Wow!
00:13:17But first, let's have a fiesta!
00:13:22In Drag Race Mexico, I came in eighth place.
00:13:26My best moment is the musical, the girl group band.
00:13:31But I think that I got eliminated for some of my runway looks.
00:13:36This season, I bring amazing looks.
00:13:39Ah!
00:13:42You're gonna say, oh, my God, fucking Serena. I love her.
00:13:46You know, tell us a little bit about the Mexican scene.
00:13:48Mexican drag is so crazy.
00:13:50It's a lot of colors, so I invite you to go to my Mexico country.
00:13:56Hello, Serena.
00:13:57Let's go now. We'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.
00:14:06What kind of drag do you do?
00:14:09I'm a comedy and sensual queen.
00:14:11That's my drag.
00:14:12Sensual?
00:14:13Yeah.
00:14:15It's an orgasm to be here.
00:14:17So, when you have an orgasm, you need to enjoy it.
00:14:22On your first season, you were judged by Valentina?
00:14:25Yes.
00:14:26Sashay de marchas.
00:14:28How do you feel now that you're gonna be judged by Mama Ru?
00:14:31Better, of course.
00:14:33Wait, 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.
00:14:43I'm, like, shaking, puking.
00:14:46I need to tell everyone I live with severe anxiety.
00:14:50One of the symptoms I have is that I puke, so I might scream buckets at any point.
00:14:57And 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.
00:15:08Oh my god.
00:15:09Oh my god.
00:15:10How the hell is that?
00:15:12Oh my god.
00:15:13Oh my god.
00:15:14Oh my god.
00:15:15Oh my god.

00:15:52Roll the tape this person here showed kindness on that fucking stage and I needed to reciprocate that
00:15:59We're ready to go

00:16:15Melinda and what you gonna do better than in your first sister
00:16:18I'm hoping that the mug is a lot better than my season people first got to know Melinda Verga and
00:16:23She was what busted
00:16:26but
00:16:28Hopefully my eleganza will gag you this season. Sorry. I know you are like one of my best neighbors
00:16:33I'm not familiar with your season. What kind of drag do you do? I do?
00:16:39Tricks I do stunts. I dance I act I sing. I met Mariah in LA girl

00:19:51Oh, my God!
00:19:52Oh, my God!
00:19:53Oh, my God!
00:19:54Where are my nice things?
00:19:55That's K for Katherine.
00:19:56Welcome to our house.
00:19:57Oh, my God!
00:19:58We're inside the TV.
00:19:59It feels amazing to be back in the UK workroom.
00:20:02I'm not with this one!
00:20:03I'm not with this one!
00:20:04I'm not with this one!
00:20:05I've been here before.
00:20:06I know the ropes.
00:20:07I'm happy to host.
00:20:08I'll hand out some little volubons.
00:20:10Cheese and pineapple hedgehog.
00:20:11Jujubee, are you hiding here somewhere?
00:20:13It's so heavy!
00:20:14Ah!
00:20:15Oh, my God!
00:20:16I'm amazed!
00:20:17Germany!
00:20:18I promised myself I wouldn't compare myself to other queens.
00:20:20Am I doing it in this moment?
00:20:21Yes!
00:20:22100%.
00:20:23Am I a little bit threatened by all of them?
00:20:24Yes, but I think that just goes to show, like, how good these queens are.
00:20:26And that makes me just all the more excited to compete with them.
00:20:27Hi, neighbor!
00:20:28Hi, neighbor!
00:20:29Hi, neighbor!
00:20:30How do you say mother in German?
00:20:31Mutter!
00:20:32Mutter!
00:20:33Danke, Mutter!
00:20:34You're welcome, my child.
00:20:35And how do I say non-binary?
00:20:36Non-binary.
00:20:37Non-binary.
00:20:38German is so easy.
00:20:39Baby, non-binary is universal.
00:20:40I got a great hand right now, okay?
00:20:41Yeah.
00:20:42What are your pronouns out of drag?
00:20:43I just want to ask right away.
00:20:44Yes.
00:20:45He, she, die.
00:20:46So you're not particular with it?
00:20:47No, what I know actually is that I'm not a boy, so I would call myself as non-binary.
00:20:51And I have so many trans friends.
00:20:52And people actually think they rape me in society as a trans girl.
00:20:53Yeah.
00:20:54And I feel honored.
00:20:55That's how I would have perceived you.
00:20:56Everyone, that's the most asked question in my life.
00:20:57Are you a boy or a girl?
00:20:58I consider myself non-binary.
00:20:59Oh, yes.
00:21:00How about you?
00:21:01I just go with he, him, out of drag.
00:21:02He, him, out of drag.
00:21:03Maybe.
00:21:04Non-binary is universal.
00:21:05I got great hand right now, okay?
00:21:06What are your pronouns out of drag?
00:21:07I just want to ask right away.
00:21:08Yes.
00:21:09He, she, die.
00:21:10So you're not particular with it?
00:21:11No, what I know actually is that I'm not a boy, so I would call myself as non-binary.
00:21:14That's the most asked question in my life.
00:21:15Are you a boy or a girl?
00:21:16Yeah.
00:21:17I consider myself non-binary.
00:21:18Oh, yes.
00:21:19How about you?
00:21:20I just go with he, him, out of drag.
00:21:21Like call me whatever, as long as you call me.
00:21:23Please call me.
00:21:24Oh my God.
00:21:29We are Filipinas.
00:21:32It's the Philippines versus the world.
00:21:35No, it's like UK versus Philippines versus the world.
00:21:38Exactly.
00:21:39Yes.
00:21:44Now being from the UK.
00:21:47Yeah.
00:21:48You know some of the girls.
00:21:49There's a couple of us.
00:21:50Yeah.
00:21:51I'm not my best friends with them.
00:21:53You're not?
00:21:54They've not been around me house.
00:21:56This time around, I'm definitely going to be more competitive.
00:21:59I'm not normally a pusher, but I am getting a temperature of the room.
00:22:06Typically UK girls outnumber everybody else.
00:22:10True.
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.
00:22:16Oh.
00:22:17I am spreading my eggs around.
00:22:20I don't want them all in one basket.
00:22:22Yes.
00:22:23And UK partners with US.
00:22:27Well, 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.
00:22:42This man, did you want to call us summit of the UK?
00:22:45There's much food for thought here.
00:22:48I've been approached by one lady, Mariah Valenciaga.
00:22:52He thinks that we are probably already in an alliance.
00:22:55Right.
00:22:56Firstly, what are we doing amongst ourselves?
00:22:59Well, I know that I've definitely got both your backs.
00:23:01I've got your backs.
00:23:02I've got your backs.
00:23:03And speaking of backs, I will be needing your help from one of you to shave my shoulders tomorrow.
00:23:07Right.
00:23:08For the runway.
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.
00:23:16We're in, like, an official capital A alliance.
00:23:20Yes.
00:23:21Does that make us a target?
00:23:22I think we're a target anyway.
00:23:24I 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.
00:23:34And rather than competing against them, we compete with them.
00:23:39And the other ones out, and 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.
00:23:48Play it hard.
00:23:49And 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.
00:23:55I think we should bide our time, see what the song contest brings.
00:23:59That'll separate the weight from the chaff, I reckon.
00:24:02Exactly.
00:24:03And if either of you do a chaff,
00:24:04I should be cross.
00:24:05At the end of the day, there can only be one winner.
00:24:09It's every cross-dresser for themselves.
00:24:11Today, we are getting ready for our maxi challenge, which is the Ruru Vision Song Contest!
00:24:20Do you want to sit next to me, Sminty?
00:24:21Not really, but I will.
00:24:22I'll teach you how to do make-up.
00:24:27On my original season, I don't have the opportunity to do my talent show, so it's gonna be amazing, because it's in front of Rupaul.
00:24:28It's time to show what I made up.
00:24:29It's time to show what I made up.
00:24:30Chaguitos!
00:24:31Chaguitos!
00:24:32Mariah, you've been in the game.
00:24:33Mariah, you've been in the game.
00:24:34It's time to show what I made up.
00:24:35Chaguitos!
00:24:36Mariah, you've been in the game for 25 years.
00:24:37I was a little toddler when you started doing drag.
00:24:41That's nice.
00:24:42Well, you are mother, honestly.
00:24:44See what you've inspired!
00:24:47Chaguitos!
00:24:56Mr. Mariah, you've been in the game for 25 years.
00:25:01I was a little toddler when you started doing drag.
00:25:05Death Note
00:25:06Well, you are mother, honestly.
00:25:08See what you've, uh, what you've inspired.
00:25:10Exactly.
00:25:11I'm so sorry.
00:25:12Little Mariah.
00:25:13How have you seen the LGBTQ culture,
00:25:16the drag industry change?
00:25:18It's definitely mainstream now.
00:25:20Mainstreaming gives everybody a larger voice,
00:25:23and you're not in the shadows, and you're not hiding.
00:25:25With the success of drag queens,
00:25:27do you think that that has anything to do with
00:25:30the backlash now that we're facing?
00:25:32Well, for a while it seemed like we were safe
00:25:35and we were moving in the right direction,
00:25:37but when bigoted people feel like
00:25:40their chokehold is being challenged,
00:25:43they kind of feel desperate,
00:25:45and they start to act out harder and louder.
00:25:47Right.
00:25:48The fact that basic civil rights,
00:25:50human 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 freakin' dark ages.
00:26:06I always say I've always been a bully of the bullies.
00:26:08When you really care about what you're doing
00:26:10and the community you're doing it in,
00:26:12I think it's kind of obligatory to, like,
00:26:16be the voice and push back.
00:26:17Yeah.
00:26:18For the community that helped create you and support you.
00:26:20To be here all together with all these queens
00:26:23from all over the globe shows that we're never going anywhere.
00:26:27Yeah.
00:26:28You know, I'm gonna make that rhyme.
00:26:29Honestly, like...
00:26:30We're here, we're queer, we're not going anywhere.
00:26:31Period.
00:26:39Do you know how to do a British accent?
00:26:41Hi.
00:26:42Good morning.
00:26:45It's Minty.
00:26:46Yeah.
00:26:47Can you teach us how to do a British accent?
00:26:49You want to know how to do a British accent, then?
00:26:52Say,
00:26:53My hair is frazzled.
00:26:55My hair is frazzled.
00:26:57My hair is frazzled.
00:26:59That's great, that's great.
00:27:00You'll be saying that later.
00:27:03It's the first Maxi Challenge,
00:27:05the Roo Roo Vision Song Contest.
00:27:07Are 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 gonna turn this competition out for mother?
00:27:18Yeah!
00:27:19It definitely won't be nil point today.
00:27:23Hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop!
00:27:32Hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop
00:28:02of the jury on the line, Michelle Visage.
00:28:05Representing the country of New Jersey
00:28:07where our motto is, your ass is mint.
00:28:13International treasure Graham Norton.
00:28:15Now, you are also the UK's commentator
00:28:19on the lesser known Eurovision song contest.
00:28:23How does our Rurovision compare?
00:28:26Well, this one's a lot less gay.
00:28:32And our extra special guest,
00:28:36two-time Eurovision winner, Lorene.
00:28:39Thanks, Rurovision.
00:28:40Is it too late for me to enter Rurovision?
00:28:43Well, I'll let you know at the end.
00:28:47This week, we challenged our queens
00:28:49to do their country proud at the Rurovision Song Contest.
00:28:54And tonight on the runway, category is

00:29:21She's throwing everything at this.

00:32:26How you broke?
00:32:27Do it again!
00:32:29Is she OK?
00:32:31I hope so.
00:32:34And now, the UK.
00:32:36Watch out for what can best be described
00:32:38as an interesting cameo from Brit Crew member Tom.
00:32:42Here's Zahaira Zapanta.
00:32:49Oh, hello, my secret sissy.
00:32:51Dry those tears.
00:32:54You can't go down the runway like that.
00:32:57What do you mean, Zahaira?
00:32:59I feel absolutely gorgeous.
00:33:01I love wearing women's clothing.
00:33:04Especially my wifely cousin.
00:33:08I can see you're much more of a sissy than you make out to be.
00:33:15Now that you're a sissy, sissy team.
00:33:18Fairy drag mother.
00:33:20Fire up!
00:33:21Show you the way.
00:33:22I am a sissy, I'm a sissy sissy.
00:33:25What is a CD?
00:33:27A cross-dress is silly.
00:33:29You are a sissy, I'll turn you to a missy.
00:33:32You are a sissy.
00:33:34Phil, I'll call you Lizzy.
00:33:39My darling, Phil is long gone.
00:33:42Lizzy, my sissy CD of the night.
00:33:46You are ready.
00:33:49Also, I feel absolutely gorgeous.
00:33:52Oh, look at Phil, I'm Lizzy now.
00:33:56Don't tell my wife Nicola the whole world, please.
00:34:05Canada now.
00:34:06The next singer hails from Edmonton, Alberta.
00:34:09Fun fact, her left testicle is bigger than the right.
00:34:12That's normal though, isn't it?
00:34:14Say hello to Melinda Varga.
00:34:16Our best intentions, the earth to be revealed.
00:34:26No matter where you come from,
00:34:29where you're all from here.
00:34:32There's no distance between us.
00:34:36Let love let go of fear.
00:34:39And as we rise, we look at what's revealed.
00:34:44Will we ever live our lives for each other?
00:34:51Will we ever see a world where there's no pain?
00:34:57Will we ever try to make this time a life of endless wonder?
00:35:04Will we ever say the world is free?
00:35:12What's going on?
00:35:13Will we ever say the world is free?
00:35:29Some of us were made for lip syncing.
00:35:34And now, Germany.
00:35:36This performer has a habit of peeing herself.
00:35:38In fact, she did it in rehearsals yesterday.
00:35:40With her anthem,
00:35:42blonde, pretty, basic.
00:35:43It's the only Naomi.
00:35:47Guten Morgen!
00:35:48My name is the only Naomi.
00:35:50A.K.A.
00:35:51Jersey.
00:35:52A.K.A.
00:35:53The ultimate sausage sissy.
00:35:55Mwah!
00:35:56And I know you ask yourself,
00:35:57how can she be so...
00:35:58Love's pretty basic.
00:36:00Get on the ride.
00:36:01Love's pretty basic.
00:36:02Get on the ride.
00:36:03Love's pretty basic.
00:36:04I'll be your guide.
00:36:06Love's pretty basic.
00:36:08Step 1.
00:36:09Start with a mini dress.
00:36:10Never too long.
00:36:11Never too loose.
00:36:12Cover your private parts.
00:36:14Not too much.
00:36:16Step 2.
00:36:17Choose your shade.
00:36:18Remember, blonde is a fantasy.
00:36:20So make sure there's loads of it.
00:36:22Step 3.
00:36:24Black day is essential.
00:36:26So don't be shy with the baby oil.
00:36:28Go ahead.
00:36:29Some more.
00:36:30Mix it all together.
00:36:32What do you see?
00:36:33Blonde pretty basic.
00:36:34That's the key.
00:36:35Blonde pretty basic.
00:36:36Sing it with me.
00:36:37Blonde pretty basic.
00:36:38They set you...
00:36:39Free!
00:36:41Blonde pretty basic.
00:36:42But not ordinary.
00:36:44Love's pretty basic.
00:36:46Now you reach out the race.
00:36:47Get your engines ready.
00:36:48Love's pretty basic.
00:36:50Blonde pretty basic.
00:36:51You know exactly what I mean.
00:36:54And now, most importantly, step 4.
00:36:58Walk.
00:37:00Wow.
00:37:01You're pretty basic.
00:37:02You're pretty basic.
00:37:04You're pretty basic.
00:37:06Oh, scheiße.
00:37:09Not the baby oil again.
00:37:11LAUGHTER
00:37:13APPLAUSE
00:37:15Oh, my God!
00:37:17Yay!
00:37:18US of A next.
00:37:20This act's favourite pastime is wrestling in a paddling pool full of spaghetti.
00:37:26How very saucy.
00:37:27This is Mariah Balenciaga.
00:37:30Fire and the passion creates a mountain of earth.
00:37:38Water thrashing, calming into a cascade, forming delicate sandy shores.
00:37:46Gusts of wind.
00:37:47Gusts of wind.
00:37:48Breathing new life.
00:37:50Hello.
00:37:52The sun.
00:37:53From the cradle we crawl.
00:37:55Fresh and as one.
00:37:57With the purpose of new life.
00:37:59The bounty of Gaia with balance and respect.
00:38:04For the home all must protect.
00:38:06The sands of time prove those gifts we reject.
00:38:09Craving more.
00:38:10So much that all we devour turns sour.
00:38:14All we now crave is power.
00:38:17Power over sister, brother, mother.
00:38:21Not caring for one another.
00:38:24Nothing familiar.
00:38:26Earth scarred and bruised from our relentless hunger.
00:38:30Are we any stronger?
00:38:33Is there anything left when we are gone?
00:38:36What have we done?
00:38:40Yeah, baby!
00:38:44Mariah's performance is different vibes and I love that for her.
00:38:52Would you love it for yourself?
00:38:54I would not love it for myself.
00:38:58Back to the UK now.
00:39:01This performer has a phobia of frogs and blames her vocal fry on a frog that jumped into
00:39:06her mouth when she was a child.
00:39:08I'm told the two things aren't connected.
00:39:11Say hello to Sminty Drop.
00:39:13Hi, I'm depressed.
00:39:18What happened?
00:39:19Are you okay?
00:39:20No, I'm not okay.
00:39:21Why would you even ask that?
00:39:22I literally got eliminated.
00:39:23It's okay, calm down.
00:39:25What did you do when you left?
00:39:26I don't even know.
00:39:27It's all a blur, but I think it went something like this.
00:39:32Turn it round, bend it down, and literally just start crying.
00:39:38Now drop, drop, drop, make it rock, rock, rock, shoulder pop.
00:39:42And remember, you're still crying.
00:39:44When you burn off all your hair, just breathe and throw that derriere.
00:39:48Just swerp, swerp, swerp, swerp, swerp.
00:39:50Just swerp.
00:39:51I'm a mess.
00:39:52When the driver's judges send you pack and don't hold it back, just shake that bag and
00:39:56swerp, swerp, swerp, swerp.
00:39:57Or just kill them.
00:39:58When someone calls Michelle a slut, just let it all out.
00:40:02Vibrate that button.
00:40:03Swerp, swerp, swerp, swerp.
00:40:04Even if it's the truth.
00:40:06When RuPaul's looking old and tired.
00:40:09And oh my god, she's looking at me.
00:40:11Just swerp, swerp, swerp, swerp.
00:40:13You're so beautiful.
00:40:15Baby, are you still there?
00:40:17What the?
00:40:32Mwah.
00:40:33Yeah, baby!
00:40:37To be fair to her, she's taken the one memorable thing about her and she's spun it into gold.
00:40:42Am I wrong?
00:40:44And now the Philippines.
00:40:47This is Minty Fresh from Planet Fresh.
00:40:50Oh wait, no, that's just the name of the song.
00:40:52That's a shame.
00:40:53I thought she might be delivering some lovely organic vegetables.
00:40:58This is not a test.
00:41:00Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:41:02Planet Fresh.
00:41:05Feel the fire in my orbit cause I'm ready to fight.
00:41:09I'm the future innovating, stepping into the light.
00:41:12Pause is rushing, I'm feeling the force highlight.
00:41:16Taking over the world, my time is too light.
00:41:20All the stars in the sky, my wings are ready to fly.
00:41:23Supernatural fantasy, colors the night and day.
00:41:28With my face, hear we say...
00:41:32Fresh the thought.
00:41:34Ice cold but it's hot tonight.
00:41:35Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:41:37Very scar that you can't deny.
00:41:39Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:41:41Ice cold but it's hot tonight.
00:41:43Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:41:44Face cold but it's hot tonight.
00:41:45Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:41:46Face cold but it's hot tonight.
00:41:47Welcome to Planet Fresh.
00:41:49Fresh fears ready for the minty fever.
00:41:51Make it hotter.
00:41:52Planet Fresh.
00:41:53Minty got me blinded by the lights and smoke.
00:41:58But babes, she's gorgeous.
00:41:59Come on lightsaber.
00:42:08And now, the United Kingdom.
00:42:11Kate Butch is her name.
00:42:13What qualifies her for Rurovision?
00:42:15Well, she has three GCSEs, a bronze swimming certificate and IBS.
00:42:23I'm back to see RuPaul.
00:42:26I can't believe it's true that legally I'm allowed again to stand within ten feet of you.
00:42:33Last time I did my best.
00:42:35My drag was big and bold.
00:42:37But then I got sent home by a fucking nineteen year old.
00:42:42The whole thing was a farce.
00:42:45But this time I won't be eclipsed by Ginger Johnson's massive talent.
00:42:51And maybe this time, maybe this time I won't be shit.
00:42:58This is the chance for Kate Butch to take over as long as there isn't another makeover.
00:43:02Alan and Graham will put me in front.
00:43:04Insert name of guest judge, you seem like a dream.
00:43:06I won't make such a mess of this hell.
00:43:08If you can't love yourself then just blame Michelle.
00:43:10I won't live this season so mentally ill.
00:43:12If RuPaul will pay for my therapy bill.
00:43:14And maybe this time, perhaps on this occasion, possibly today, I won't be shoved to the side.
00:43:24Required to hide, I'll show you my talents, I'll fill you with pride.
00:43:27My time I will bide, I won't step aside.
00:43:29If this goes to shit, I'll commit to working even harder to impress you.
00:43:34But if I am shit, there's worse things to be.
00:43:38Let everyone else, oh yes, let everyone else.
00:43:42I just need everyone else to be shitter than me.
00:43:49Yeah.
00:43:51And half of them are doing that already.
00:43:54Pitch perfect.
00:44:03Pitch, 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 of falling into the audience when she performs.
00:44:16Watch out RuPaul.
00:44:18With an illuminating song, this is Serena Morena.
00:44:23The night is finally here.
00:44:27I'm going to please myself.
00:44:31And for today, I'm releasing a beautiful plaything.
00:44:36They call it...
00:44:37Very critical.
00:44:39It's silicone, I know.
00:44:42But it feels really enough.
00:44:46It's ready on my bed.
00:44:49It looks very great.
00:44:51And it starts to be brave.
00:44:57Damn it!
00:44:59It's empty batteries.
00:45:03Something doesn't work anymore.
00:45:06Huh?
00:45:07Not what I'm looking for.
00:45:10It's very soft.
00:45:12Oh my God!
00:45:14Oh my God!
00:45:15Oh my God!
00:45:16Oh my God!
00:45:17Oh my God!
00:45:18Oh my God!
00:45:19Oh my God!
00:45:20I feel terrible.
00:45:21It's unstoppable.
00:45:22Oh my God!
00:45:23It's unstoppable!
00:45:27Oh my God!
00:45:29I want it out
00:45:31and it's not coming out.
00:45:33What's that sound?
00:45:37What's that roar?
00:45:38Mom, don't open the door.
00:45:41Honey, girl.
00:45:47Mom, don't open the door.
00:45:55Oh, my God.
00:45:56Serena, a girl after my own heart.
00:45:59Girl, you can leave that at my station.
00:46:09Category is for queen and country.
00:46:13Up first, Fontana.
00:46:17This look is inspired by my favorite thing about Sweden.
00:46:20Ebba!
00:46:21The dancing queen has arrived.
00:46:23Mamma mia, here we go again.
00:46:28Did 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.
00:46:40Right crown.
00:46:41I am shaking the house down.
00:46:43I am pretending I do this every day.
00:46:45But bitch, we're doing this in front of RuPaul.
00:46:48I can see the crown, Fernando.
00:46:54Up next, Gaudlin.
00:46:56This look is appetizing.
00:46:58I am serving you tom yam kung soup, but it's lobster because it's luxury.
00:47:07Oh, my God.
00:47:08I've created a lobster.
00:47:11I am so proud that I am able to bring Thai food to the international stage.
00:47:18Give her a round of applause.
00:47:20My body is rhinestone.
00:47:23Even my claw is rhinestone.
00:47:27Ow!
00:47:28Pinch her?
00:47:29I don't even know her.
00:47:32And I have this pot on my head.
00:47:35The 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, who are you going to be?
00:47:42Somebody else?
00:47:44Up next, Sahira Zapanta.
00:47:50She's a big fan of TikTok.
00:47:52She is.
00:47:53The concept for my queen and country look is the big ban.
00:47:57She's ahead of her time.
00:48:00I am serving gilded gold.
00:48:03The bodice is inspired by Queen Victoria because the big ban was created during her reign.
00:48:10Show me where the big hand touched you.
00:48:12Each and every watch is pointing at three o'clock.
00:48:17My time on UK vs. the World season what?
00:48:20Three.
00:48:21The only kind of ban I want is a big ban.
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.
00:48:40This runway ain't big enough for the two of us.
00:48:45I'm 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!
00:49:06Tell Celine we love her.
00:49:08Yes.
00:49:10Up next, the only Naomi.
00:49:14Ooh, you better church.
00:49:16I'm wearing this beautiful 3D printed cologne cathedral and 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.
00:49:37She'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.
00:49:48Somebody's taking her up the aisle.
00:49:49Oh, yeah.
00:49:51This is so awesome.
00:49:53Standing in front of Mama Ru is such a sweet moment and I couldn't be more proud to represent Germany on this stage.
00:50:01Up next, Mariah Palenciaga.
00:50:05I wonder if she knows under these bright lights we can see a little bit of facial hair.
00:50:10No!
00:50:12My queen and country look is representing the real history of what truly makes America great, the black cowboy.
00:50:19And I am here to teach the children.
00:50:21Ooh, somebody's giving mustache rides.
00:50:24The stache is my invitation to anybody out there.
00:50:27Save a horse, ride a mustache.
00:50:30Whip it, baby. Whip it real good.
00:50:32Yes!
00:50:34Normally when I do runways, they're more glamorous and a little bit more reserved.
00:50:39So this one I'm having a little bit more fun and my more sluttier side.
00:50:43Hold your horses.
00:50:49Up next, Sminty Drop.
00:50:52I 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?
00:51:19I'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.
00:51:28The judges are gagged. They have never seen anything this gorgeous. And they've definitely not seen it tonight until now.
00:51:42Minty Fresh.
00:51:44This isn't a patch in our other dress.
00:51:47For my queen and country look, my inspiration was the thrift shops in the Philippines.
00:51:55We call it the ukay ukay.
00:51:57Well, she's on the rag.
00:51:59I 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.
00:52:13She's a material girl. Definitely.
00:52:16It's a very traditional silhouette in my country.
00:52:21It's funny. I love it so much.
00:52:23This is one of the most meaningful looks that I brought.
00:52:27Ah, to live the sample life.
00:52:32Up next, Serena Morena.
00:52:35Now that's a sleeve.
00:52:40I'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.
00:52:56I'm feeling sensual, like 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!
00:53:20Kate Butch.
00:53:22You know, God hates flags.
00:53:24Yeah. Yeah.
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.
00:53:37Oh, bloody 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.
00:53:51This dress is made from vintage flags.
00:53:55It's weathered. It's battered.
00:53:58It's not pretty.
00:54:00But it is stunning.
00:54:01It's beautiful.
00:54:06Welcome, ladies.
00:54:08When I call your name, please step forward.
00:54:11Zahaira Zapanta.
00:54:14Melinda Verga.
00:54:16Mariah Valenciaga.
00:54:20Minty Fresh.
00:54:23Serena Morena.
00:54:25You are all safe.
00:54:32You may leave the stage.
00:54:40Queens, in the spirit of getting to know you better, no one will be going home tonight.
00:54:50You represent the tops of the week.
00:54:53Thank 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.
00:55:13Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
00:55:16Starting with Fontana.
00:55:18As we all know, Sweden very good at the Eurovision.
00:55:20And 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 went, yes, she does.
00:55:36There's a spin drive facility.
00:55:38I've been watching you for a while.
00:55:41It started in Sweden.
00:55:42And what I love about you is you're a 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.
00:55:56It's adorable.
00:55:57And you are adorable.
00:55:58So I look forward to what else you 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.
00:56:06When 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.
00:56:14The 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.
00:56:22Well, thank you very much.
00:56:24Up next.
00:56:26Yes, Godland.
00:56:29That number was pure energy.
00:56:34The 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.
00:56:41I was a bit scared.
00:56:42We do not recommend you do this at home.
00:56:44Is it something you do often?
00:56:45No, 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,
00:56:51wow, this queen is a great creator.
00:56:55And I got a bunch of ideas for my own shop.
00:56:58This outfit, yes, it is you dressed as a lobster,
00:57:01but it has so much glamour to it.
00:57:04My expectations are always very high for queens from Thailand,
00:57:07but you've outshone them.
00:57:11That number, oh my gosh, it was so much fun.
00:57:14What does it mean to you to be on this stage?
00:57:17Wow, Mama, this is like the dream come true moment for me
00:57:20because 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
00:57:45before 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,
00:57:54I think was a really smart move.
00:57:55And it really transported us.
00:57:57Absolutely amazing dress.
00:58:00I just love your creative ideas.
00:58:04And that color palette looks just like tattoo.
00:58:06Hello?
00:58:07I thought of you.
00:58:09Naomi, your number was completely ridiculous.
00:58:12We don't think of German people as having such a huge sense of humor.
00:58:17Are you just the anomaly?
00:58:19The only anomaly?
00:58:21I am the only German queen to ever be here.
00:58:24So I'll just say yes.
00:58:27And tell me about the flag.
00:58:28What does it say on there?
00:58:29As a little nod to our wild German history,
00:58:33I have the German First Amendment on there,
00:58:36which in English it would be,
00:58:38the dignity of humanity is untouchable.
00:58:40And I really try to live by that day by day.
00:58:43Lovely. Thank you.
00:58:45Up next, SmintiDrop.
00:58:48You know, sometimes when people do a kind of self-referential thing,
00:58:52it 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
00:59:15and you wear it like nobody else would wear it.
00:59:18And listen, that number was a ridiculous, so stupid.
00:59:23And that sad twerk was so funny.
00:59:27I think you did it four or five times.
00:59:29My back says ten.
00:59:34Oh my God, Sminti.
00:59:36So good to have you back.
00:59:38I'm just honestly so happy to be back.
00:59:40Just want to show everyone that I'm not just a pretty face.
00:59:42I'm also a crack in selling.
00:59:46That's right.
00:59:48Up next, Kate Butch.
00:59:50I'm so proud of you tonight.
00:59:52You were singing live, so there's no safety net at all.
00:59:56Alan and Graham will put me in front.
00:59:58Insert name of guest judge, you seem like a dream.
01:00:00Not easy to do a patter song and land the jokes.
01:00:04And it was really, really good.
01:00:06I just loved how you played with words.
01:00:09You're a great storyteller.
01:00:11But it was also nice to see you adapt in this outfit here.
01:00:13There is definitely some story to this.
01:00:15Please enlighten us.
01:00:17Historically, the UK, we literally have blood on our hands.
01:00:21But even now, the UK is a hotbed of horrors, especially 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, because I think there should be some shame in what we've done and what we continue to do.
01:00:43I think that was a great way to do your point of view the way you wanted to do it.
01:00:48Your voice is gorgeous.
01:00:50So powerful.
01:00:51And singing live on this stage is always a risk, but nothing went wrong.
01:00:57Your voice was perfection.
01:00:59Are you proud of your night tonight?
01:01:01I'm thrilled.
01:01:03I've waited a long time to hear you guys say that I had a nice outfit on the runway.
01:01:08Good on you tonight.
01:01:11Thank you, Queens.
01:01:12I think we've heard enough.
01:01:14While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate.
01:01:18Leave the stage.
01:01:22So ladies, what do you feel to be safe today?
01:01:26Oh, Miss Girl.
01:01:28I see faces very serious.
01:01:31I don't know why.
01:01:33I'm surprised I'm not in the top.
01:01:35So we're back in Untucked and I feel a little bit pressed, a little bit plucked.
01:01:42I wanted to be critiqued by Ru and I wanted to hear what she thought.
01:01:45I was fully expecting to be up there right now.
01:01:49I mean, I'm always grateful to be safe, but I was expecting to be top.
01:01:54I was worried because I arrived here and I had lost my voice.
01:01:58Like, I could hear every single little technical detail where I was just not it today, honey.
01:02:05Sis, I know what I did.
01:02:08I'm not DeLulu.
01:02:10My own take on this performance?
01:02:12Five out of ten.
01:02:14Let's think that we are not in the bottom.
01:02:17Exactly.
01:02:18We do it well.
01:02:19Not very well, but we aren't in the bottom.
01:02:22Honestly, I'm a little bit confused because, like, you think they're all tops.
01:02:26To me, I feel like they were all so strong.
01:02:29Apart from Miss Naomi, I feel like as a seasoned performer, you don't brag about walking and you're stumbling and fumbling.
01:02:37When you're a model and you have a pair of sticks like that, you have to be able to use them.
01:02:42Exactly.
01:02:44What do you think is going to happen? Do you think it's a top and bottom situation?
01:02:46Maybe we're just overthinking things now because we're not drinking enough.
01:02:49I always do that when I don't drink enough. I overthink.
01:02:58Ooh.
01:02:59Yeah, babies.
01:03:00Welcome.
01:03:01Welcome back.
01:03:02Back in Untucked and I feel so good.
01:03:09Little man up.
01:03:11I feel like I'm starting the competition so strong.
01:03:15Ooh.
01:03:16Wow.
01:03:17I'm kind of guessing.
01:03:18Were y'all tops?
01:03:21It's quite difficult to say, but we are all in the top.
01:03:25Yay!
01:03:28Felicidades!
01:03:30So if they're all in the top, it makes us the bottom half.
01:03:37Really?
01:03:39It was amazing.
01:03:41The main reason that I'm here is I want nice critiques on my runways.
01:03:46And that is what I got.
01:03:47I do have to shout out, thank you to Sminty for shaving me back.
01:03:51Kate looks great.
01:03:52Truly anything can happen.
01:03:56Mark your calendars.
01:03:58The judges liked my look.
01:03:59This is a big day.
01:04:01I'm very happy, to be honest.
01:04:03Because in my first season, the only time I got critiques was negative.
01:04:07So just having something nice about my drag being said,
01:04:10Byru!
01:04:12It's surreal.
01:04:13That is everything.
01:04:15I'm just really overwhelmed.
01:04:17I feel very seen by the judges in this moment.
01:04:20This is so nice.
01:04:21I'm really curious what all of the safe girls thought when all of us were on the stage.
01:04:28Oh yeah!
01:04:30We did say that Naomi was like, oh, maybe she's in the bottom.
01:04:35Out of the five.
01:04:37Out of the five.
01:04:38Out of the five.
01:04:39Yeah.
01:04:40Out of the five.
01:04:41Out of the five.
01:04:42Out in the five.
01:04:43Out of the five.
01:04:44Out right now.
01:04:45What is she on about?
01:04:47Yeah?
01:04:48For what reason.
01:04:50Uh, the walk.
01:04:51I don't know.
01:04:52We didn't know if it was intentional.
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:54You turned around a few times, and you were stumbling.
01:04:59Zahaira is not mincing her words.
01:05:02I just want to be straight up with you.
01:05:04Miss Thing is stirring the shit pot, and I'm here for it.
01:05:09In this moment right now, just me being emotional,
01:05:11it kind of feels like you're raining on my parade.
01:05:13No, not at all.
01:05:14Feeling like the other queens would put me in the bottom,
01:05:17all I can think is they would have sent me home
01:05:19if there was an elimination.
01:05:21And that's a really shitty position to be in.
01:05:25What's so sad for you that that wasn't the case?
01:05:27Ah!
01:05:31There is the first gold Rupeater badge up for grabs.
01:05:36I think I'm going to go and have a little listen
01:05:38to that lip sync song.
01:05:39Can you shave me back again?
01:05:40I think it's grown back.
01:05:42Absolutely.
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.
01:05:55There was a lot of things happening,
01:05:57but, you know, I do appreciate that in Nardis.
01:06:01And then her ABBA Dancing Queen tribute was adorable.
01:06:04I knew immediately what she was representing.
01:06:06Fabulous.
01:06:07I thought Fontana did a great job.
01:06:09All 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.
01:06:19I also love the fact that the performance was very simple.
01:06:22It was just her and her gun.
01:06:24I felt so safe with her because it had a lot of words.
01:06:29She had a lot of business to get done in that number,
01:06:31and she got it all done.
01:06:33And then the runway tonight.
01:06:35Fashion 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
01:06:44of her production number.
01:06:46Performance wasn't really crisp, crisp.
01:06:48I felt it needed maybe, I don't know,
01:06:50another week's rehearsal.
01:06:52Yeah, let's put it on today.
01:06:54And then the contrast between that
01:06:56and that beautiful, somber runway.
01:07:00And how 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 dropped.
01:07:14Love that she reclaimed her sad twerk,
01:07:17which she's renamed Swerke.
01:07:19If the Duracell bunny could sad twerk,
01:07:21that's what it was.
01:07:22It was just frenzied.
01:07:24And then on the runway, my goodness,
01:07:26you want to talk exquisite, executed perfectly.
01:07:29Her sense of style, she is mesmerizing.
01:07:32So beautiful.
01:07:33And the way she sold that sad twerk,
01:07:36it was ridiculous.
01:07:38And I love ridiculous.
01:07:40Kate Butch.
01:07:41We had two live singers tonight.
01:07:43Free game.
01:07:44Yeah.
01:07:46One was good.
01:07:47Oh, oh, the 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.
01:08:11Oh, yeah.
01:08:11But then, of course, having the message to it.
01:08:13It's fantastic.
01:08:14All right, silence.
01:08:15I have made my decision.
01:08:18Bring back my girls.
01:08:20Welcome back, ladies.
01:08:22I've made some decisions.
01:08:24The only Naomi.
01:08:30Oh, Shiza, you're safe.
01:08:34You may join the other girls.
01:08:43Godlin.
01:08:46Give yourself a round of a claws.
01:08:51Condragulations, you are one of the top two queens of the week.
01:08:53Yes!
01:08:55Congratulations, baby!
01:09:02Sminty Drop, you're quite a bird, and you're plucked for the gods.
01:09:11Kate Butch, this time, on this occasion, you're absolutely fantastic.
01:09:18Fontana.
01:09:22Can you hear the drums, Fontana?
01:09:28Condragulations, you're the other top queen of the week.
01:09:30Yeah!
01:09:34What is going on?
01:09:36Oh, my RuPaul!
01:09:38Sminty Drop, Kate Butch, you're both safe.
01:09:42You may join the other girls.
01:09:44Non-binary panic, gay panic.
01:09:46Oh, my Gaga!
01:09:48Two queens stand before me.
01:09:57I've consulted with the judges, but the final decision is mine to make.
01:10:01Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance of Tattoo by Lorene.
01:10:09Ladies, 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, watch out, girl.
01:10:40You're not gonna win.
01:10:43Good luck, and don't.
01:10:47Fuck it up.
01:10:48I don't wanna go
01:11:00But baby, we both know
01:11:03This is not our time
01:11:07It's time to say goodbye
01:11:10Islands playing
01:11:13And the angels crying
01:11:16When the stars align
01:11:18Then I'll be there
01:11:21No, I don't care about the pain
01:11:24I went through fire and for rain
01:11:28Just to get close to the time
01:11:30Just to get close to tell you
01:11:31It's not gonna be like if I do
01:11:33It's not gonna be like if I do
01:11:35I'm letting my head down
01:11:37I'm taking it cool
01:11:40I got my high in the high in the high foot
01:11:42You got my high in your head
01:11:43Don't lose all my friends
01:11:44It's all that I got
01:11:46Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
01:11:49Eeyесс
01:12:04Cause all I want is to be love
01:12:07And all I care about is you, boo-boo
01:12:10It's like a meal I get to, boo-boo
01:12:13No, I don't care about the pain
01:12:16I want your fire and your rain
01:12:20Just to get closer to you, boo-boo
01:12:23It's like a meal I get to, boo-boo
01:12:26I don't care about the pain
01:12:28I want your fire and your rain
01:12:33Just to get closer to you, boo-boo
01:12:36It's like a meal I get to, boo-boo
01:12:39Yes! Yes!
01:12:41Yes!
01:12:42Yes!
01:12:43Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:12:46All I care about is you, boo-boo
01:12:49It's like a meal I get to, boo-boo
01:12:52Hey!
01:12:53Hey!
01:12:54Hey!
01:12:55Hey!
01:12:56Hey!
01:12:57Hey!
01:12:58Hey!
01:12:59Hey!
01:13:00Hey!
01:13:01Hey!
01:13:02Hey!
01:13:03Hey!
01:13:04Hey, Hey!
01:13:05Hey!
01:13:06Hey!
01:13:07What are you doing?
01:13:10Ladies?
01:13:12I've made my decision
01:13:14Fontana, Congratulations you're a winner, baby
01:13:19Thank you so much.
01:13:24Oh, my God!
01:13:32We're going to need a bigger bucket.
01:13:38This is absolutely crazy.
01:13:40The Swedish-Brazilian beauty has officially arrived.
01:13:43You've won a coveted gold Ru-Pita badge.
01:13:49Oh, my God.
01:13:55Wear it with pride and think of Sweden.
01:13:58Yay!
01:13:59Godlin, you are free to slay another day.
01:14:07Condragulations, ladies.
01:14:09But beware.
01:14:11Next week, the eliminations begin.
01:14:15But for now, remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
01:14:21Can I get an amen up in here?
01:14:23Amen!
01:14:24All right, now let the music play.
01:14:26Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the world, you need to take a drag look from the past and rework it into a fresh frock for the future.
01:14:47But here's the twist.
01:14:49Watch.
01:14:50It takes a lot for this jaw to hit the ground, and it did.
01:14:55It's just the way that sort of hangs limp across your tits.
01:15:00Mother ate.
01:15:03Is that right?
01:15:04Yes!
01:15:06Mrs. Godlin, are you still mad?
01:15:09Ahh!
01:15:14you
01:15:22Take me away
01:15:29Take me away
01:15:31Kill, kill, kill the moon
01:15:33Kill the moon
01:15:35Kill the moon
01:15:37Come on and take me away
01:15:39Kill, kill, kill the moon
