00:01Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.
00:03While you untuck in the workroom,
00:05the judges and I will deliberate.
00:07You may leave the stage.
00:10This is the premiere of season 14 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:13This is a monumental moment.
00:15I'm hoping I'm making everybody proud about being here.
00:17I ain't getting no sleep tonight.
00:19I'm real excited.
00:22It's a dream to be here on RuPaul's Drag Race
00:24when I was a little boy.
00:26This is an opportunity to show the world who I am
00:28and the artist believes in me.
00:32It's important to impress the judges right now
00:34because this is the first challenge,
00:36the first impression they're going to have of you.
00:39I'm feeling really good.
00:41I'm just hoping it's enough
00:42because this is the apex of the Olympics,
00:46of the Hunger Games, of drag,
00:47and I want to show what I can do.
00:53I gotta come in sideways, child.
00:56Oh, baby.
00:58Is that a cocktail?
00:59All right.
01:00Ooh, look.
01:01Beverages.
01:02Ooh.
01:03I can't walk or feel any of my goddamn feet.
01:06Can somebody help me open this?
01:09That was something, girl.
01:11Bitch, we walked on the motherfucking stage
01:13of RuPaul's Drag Race.
01:14Oh, my God.
01:14It was so crazy.
01:16This entire fucking process so far
01:17has felt like a goddamn dream.
01:19It was outer body.
01:21Literally.
01:21Every step I was taking, I was just like,
01:25girl, these bitches can't take you.
01:27I have lucid dreaming every night about, like, being here.
01:31Oh, damn.
01:31So I'm, like, having trouble deciphering
01:33which is reality and which is the dream.
01:35You're here, baby.
01:37There's not many chances you get to stand
01:38in front of your motherfucking idol, bitch.
01:39She loves you.
01:40In front of fucking Lizzo, bitch.
01:42Lizzo's gonna be, like, your biggest fan.
01:44You were wearing her costume.
01:46You heard what RuPaul said.
01:48She said, bitch, that outfit looks good.
01:49And she's correct.
01:51But it was like, I performed a song of my own.
01:54That's smart.
01:54And they, they mean, from what they can understand,
01:57because I'm a country ho, you know,
01:58the black people got it.
01:59Sandra cut crease.
02:00I got it.
02:01You might be in the top.
02:02I love, you know, the unique kind of thing,
02:04without the wig.
02:05You know, bald, black, big, you know, I love it.
02:08All of that ghetto baby saying, the fuck?
02:10I'm a hood as fuck.
02:11I love that you said that on stage too.
02:13You're like, I'm hood as fuck.
02:14I don't cry.
02:14I don't, bitch.
02:15And that's the gag.
02:16I felt them tears coming.
02:17That was beautiful.
02:18Don't do it, bitch.
02:19She's human.
02:20People back home will know I'm human now.
02:22That was your moment.
02:23They surely were not fucking around tonight,
02:26as far as the critiques went.
02:27Like, that was not first episode critique.
02:29It's not 14 of us standing there.
02:31It's seven of us.
02:32They got the eyeballs to see all of us.
02:33Including big holes in the back of your ass.
02:35Yeah.
02:36Don't talk about me like that.
02:38Well, you did amazing.
02:42I'm feeling real good.
02:44I feel like y'all at the top.
02:46First time for everything, baby, you know?
02:47Yeah.
02:48You'd be surprised.
02:49You'd be surprised.
02:51You get great critiques.
02:52Really good.
02:53They love your performance, your look.
02:54They, like, understand my perspective, the story that I'm telling.
02:57And they're like, okay, we're impressed, which is, like, a bit intense.
03:01But I'm, like, the first person to be on from Seattle in, like, eight years.
03:05Damn.
03:05And we have a fucking giant from Seattle that have done this competition.
03:10Jinx and Ben, they set the paces for their season.
03:13People still talk about end of the stage.
03:14Right?
03:15That's legend shit.
03:16And, like, I feel like I'm living up to that.
03:18Yeah.
03:18And that makes me ecstatic.
03:21Seattle got some good fucking drags.
03:22We got some of the best in the world.
03:23There's that damn copper y'all got over there, bitch.
03:25I've been working in a cafe.
03:27So the only critique that I've gotten is this was supposed to be ice.
03:31So to, like, have, like, a full panel of people, like, tell me nothing but nice things.
03:35Like, I'm on cloud nine.
03:36Miss Carrie, baby.
03:38Hi.
03:39What's tea, honey?
03:40Over there looking all good.
03:41I would say, like, I feel like I fell in the middle.
03:43Okay.
03:44Which isn't my favorite, but I think given the circumstances, I'm grateful to be there.
03:49I don't necessarily feel like I got, like, torn apart.
03:53You're gonna have to sell these shoes to RuPaul?
03:55Yep.
03:56My favorite part of it are those brown boots.
04:00Exquisite.
04:01Just wonderful.
04:03We might have to get them adjusted a little bit.
04:05What are you trying to say?
04:06Well, Ru's, like, a size 15 women.
04:09You're gonna say that about her?
04:12Bold.
04:12Well, she got big shoes to feel, girl.
04:17And then I gotta, you know, sell this coat to Lizzo.
04:19That way I can pay it off.
04:22But it just felt good just being in the room with, like, all of y'all.
04:25And it's just, like, obviously we have first impressions about everybody when we first come in here.
04:29And, like, clearly mine has changed 100% on you.
04:32I'm still judging you for the flip-flop.
04:34Same.
04:34But I think we all are, bitch.
04:36Woo!
04:36I'm gonna be honest with you.
04:37I judge you a lot in my mind.
04:40Same.
04:40With what? The flip-flop?
04:41Oh, yeah. And the flip-flop, this Parahela kind of vibe.
04:44I judge you like, this is RuPaul, you know?
04:46But you teach me a lesson not to judge people.
04:50Yeah.
04:51My entrance look was, like, meant to throw you all off a little bit.
04:54Yeah.
04:56I love the irreverence of it, though.
04:58Even though it was, like, a very, like, what are we looking at type vibe,
05:01if you paid attention, the details were there.
05:04It was very put together.
05:04I get, like, babied a lot because I look so young.
05:07Yeah, you know.
05:07So fishy, baby.
05:07And I look so, like, unassuming.
05:09You miss the dog.
05:10If you enter with a dog, I would literally kind of cry.
05:14They've seen dancing, they've seen lip-singing,
05:16none of them have seen what you've done.
05:18And I judged you based on my perception of what I think drag is.
05:23And you reminded me.
05:25You reshaped that.
05:25That no.
05:26Yeah.
05:27It's an art form that is so broad.
05:29Yeah.
05:29I want to be living one of those fantasies that's, like,
05:32Your mind.
05:33Up in my mind that I've had since I was a kid.
05:35And I think that drag is all about taking the piss out of reality.
05:38Yeah.
05:38But when you did what you did, I was just like, what in the hell?
05:42But, like, it was a good what in the hell.
05:45It was unexpected.
05:46I'm not even lying when I say, I thought I was going home tonight.
05:51Every time I looked at their faces, they were just like,
05:53And I couldn't tell if that was good or bad.
05:56Mm-hmm.
05:58And, obviously, my inner saboteur was like, they don't get you.
06:02And I was just, like, smiling, being like,
06:04Oh, I'm so happy to, like, see everyone one last time before I go.
06:07Aw.
06:07And then they loved it.
06:09And I was, like, really in shock.
06:11I just only have a question.
06:12Like, why, when we are doing our makeups, like, you came all up very, like, sad?
06:17We were wondering where you went, girl.
06:19Are you okay?
06:19I passed away.
06:21It's okay.
06:21You passed away!
06:22Can I give a hug?
06:25I was just like, I cannot make it all the way here after years of, like, just blood, sweat, and
06:31tears,
06:31and then go home first because I'm flustered.
06:34And also, I just wanted them to get it.
06:37Like, it's lonely having really horrible, dark thoughts all the time.
06:44But, bitch, you got six other sisters here now.
06:47Probably gonna be five after the night.
06:49But you got six other sisters here now that we are lending ears.
06:51And I say this wholeheartedly.
06:53You a weird-ass motherfucker.
06:55I mean, they love you, bitch.
06:56They love you.
06:57Bitch, but it's great.
06:58You got no shade.
06:59The best critiques out of everybody that's sitting on this motherfucking couch.
07:01Well, not everybody, but, you know, it's a good...
07:03No, no, she got better critiques than you, too.
07:06I didn't get any critiques.
07:07I'm just saying.
07:08So, you're literally that bitch.
07:10And if I had marbles, next week I'd try to trip you.
07:13You know what I'm saying?
07:15Whoop.
07:15Blah.
07:17Joan, how you feel?
07:19I really pride myself on trying to be this beautiful, thick, hot girl shit.
07:27And there were small details that were missed.
07:32And when you're at the drag Olympics, it's going to get called out.
07:38Yeah.
07:38It's just like, girl, if you just, you know, put on three more tights, this could have been your moment.
07:45And maybe not.
07:47Yeah.
07:56It's like a catch-22 for me, because they loved my talent, but it was just small details, like you're
08:03busting it the same at the bottom.
08:04Yeah.
08:05This cannot be happening.
08:08It was a talent show, and the talent girls in the bottom?
08:12And you know, bitch, I just started wearing tights.
08:14Yeah, girl.
08:15I was right.
08:16I said, because this part of Jambalaya likes to be seen, but clatch it.
08:20If I may ask, why did you choose to wear tights?
08:22I feel like you could have gone with just like a tucking panty.
08:25If I'm being completely honest, it was just a self-conscious.
08:28This is, millions of people are going to see and judge me.
08:34I didn't want them to say, oh, she moves good, but look at her thighs.
08:40Like, judge me that my big ass up here doing barrel turns.
08:43I love your thighs, bitch.
08:44I didn't want the masses to judge.
08:47I would say that you were going to have millions more people support and appreciate and love and relate.
08:52You seem like a good person, and I appreciate that.
08:55I'm shady as fuck.
08:57I am like an energy person, so I feel the energy about each one of you, and I love this.
09:03I love this group.
09:04Absolutely.
09:05How do you feel, baby?
09:06Tell them, Melissa.
09:07Show your story.
09:08I got so many emotions right now.
09:13There are so many people in Provico that they're rooting for me right now.
09:18And sometimes, when I get...
09:24Share it, baby.
09:25Share it.
09:29I'm not feeling very happy at all.
09:30You know?
09:31I don't know.
09:31It might be in the bottom.
09:33Getting to here is very difficult to me.
09:36I came up from this island.
09:38Let's get it.
09:38English is not my first language.
09:40Yeah.
09:41I try my best to communicate with others.
09:46It's very hard.
09:48It's very hard.
09:48It's very hard.
09:49I just keep it up and, okay, you can do this.
09:52You can be yourself and show the world who you are.
09:54But it's very difficult for me being Latin.
09:58You know?
09:58She doesn't speak.
10:00Girl.
10:00Yeah, I can speak.
10:01I'm not speaking very English kind of thing, but I speak from my heart.
10:05What makes you feel like they didn't think you spoke?
10:09No, no, no.
10:10It's...
10:10That's very, um...
10:11For herself.
10:12For you.
10:13Yeah, for me.
10:13Baby, you not having English as your first language is.
10:16It's not an issue.
10:17Bitch, English is my first language.
10:18Them motherfuckers, they understand nothing I'm saying.
10:20I just hope to connect with each other because we are far away from our family and friends.
10:25So, to meet each one of you is very, very...
10:30I'm sorry.
10:31I just said emotional.
10:35And right now, we're family.
10:37Bitch, I miss my makeup right now.
10:38You can definitely talk to us as much as you want to.
10:41And if we say, huh?
10:43Bitch, just repeat it.
10:45Okay.
10:45I will do that.
10:46I have not had a problem with understanding it.
10:48None of us have.
10:49Yeah.
10:49Because it just goes to show, you're talented.
10:51You're talented as fuck.
10:52Thanks for that.
10:53Thanks for that, baby.
10:54Yeah, majority of the time, we're looking down at your crotch in them shorts.
10:56We ain't even listening to what you're saying.
10:59Fuck you, witchy.
10:59Are you fucking wet?
11:01Bitch, hell yeah.
11:02Just like we're looking at the hole in your tights.
11:05Whoa.
11:06Okay, Miss Christmas tree skirt.
11:07Okay.
11:08Okay.
11:10How about you, Miss Polka Dots?
11:12I feel like I got a lot of negative critiques.
11:16I definitely think I might be in the bottom.
11:18Really?
11:26I feel like they really saw something very special about you though.
11:31They definitely seem interested in me and I am very interested in myself.
11:36It wasn't my original choice for the talent show.
11:38I wanted to do an original song as well.
11:40I just, I didn't have enough time.
11:42I had to move out of my apartment right as I had to leave for Drag Race and I had
11:47so much shit going on.
11:48My cat has been having a lot of health issues.
11:51Damn.
11:51So like what you saw was just me coming up with shit off the top of my head.
11:55When the writing's on the wall that you might be the first to go home, that can shake you to
12:00your core.
12:01I'm glad that I was able to let go and just be weird and just be obnoxious.
12:07What's the phrase?
12:07What's the moment?
12:08I got a hot shit in the chamber.
12:09Yeah.
12:10That is so fucking funny to me.
12:11I'm gonna put it on a fanny pack.
12:12Mission accomplished.
12:14So who are y'all thinking about him too?
12:16I don't know.
12:19You ask the question, you answer first.
12:21I bet y'all give a fuck.
12:22I definitely feel like you.
12:25It's realness baby.
12:27And I think June too.
12:31It's just real talk.
12:32We knew what we signed up for.
12:34But it is pulling a little heart string on me at this moment in time because no one wants to
12:37be the first one to go home.
12:39I mean it's between the three of us.
12:41And if I'm being completely honest, I do think you're definitely in the bottom.
12:47Which is so sad because you improv'd your own script, gave your signature drag, and everyone showed their individual talent.
12:55Yeah.
12:55That's what made it so hard.
12:56I think that's why they ended up nitpicking like it was a top five type challenge.
13:00Right.
13:00I was gonna tell Alyssa, like me following her up, bitch you made me nervous as hell.
13:03When you all bring something so fierce, that's when they start to get down to the T's and the I's
13:10that are dotted and crossed.
13:10Yeah.
13:11Which I think sucks.
13:14But I will say, y'all wanna learn that song.
13:17Oof.
13:18For sure.
13:19I think I should listen to the lyrics, just in case.
13:23Is anybody able to pull on my toes?
13:25Like yank them?
13:26You getting them like painful feet, bitch?
13:28Mine is the same way.
13:30Ooh.
13:30Get deeper into the tight.
13:31Oh, fuck.
13:32I just left all the glitter here.
13:33She's marking her territory.
13:34You bitches is rude.
13:35How y'all leave my fat ass on this cap?
13:37Nah, I gotta look.
13:38Gotta wiggle.
13:39Gotta get up.
13:39Ugh.
13:44How are you feeling?
13:45I'm definitely gonna have to lip sync.
13:47You think so?
13:49I'm not going down without a fight.
13:51I mean, do you know the song?
13:52I think so.
13:53Oh, God.
13:54All right, ladies.
13:55Ten minutes till main stage.
13:57Whoop!
13:58I'm starting to feel all of the emotions again.
14:01I am trying not to think about anything else but this lip sync.
14:06Which one of these bitches am I gonna have to fight?
14:10I am a fluent entertainer.
14:12I hope that they see my energy, my power,
14:16because I know that I am a very fierce queen and I can do more.
14:22I am about to fight for my life.
14:23All of that inner saboteur bullshit, you need to let it go.
14:28A sense of drive just came over me.
14:32I'm about to fuck some shit up.
14:35Pull up a chair, baby, because Jambalaya's about to serve.
14:38All right, ladies.
14:39Time for the main stage.
14:40Follow me.
14:41Slowly walk.
14:43It's gonna take me two minutes to make it to that door.
14:44These hoes really don't listen.
14:46Them bitches said go to the motherfucking door.
14:47Maybe you are in Crocs.
14:48What are you fucking not talking about?
14:49I'm walking over there in my motherfucking Crocs.
14:52You're a fucking Crocs, bitch.
14:53What is that?
14:54These I call my willows.
14:59Welcome back, ladies.
15:01I've made some decisions.
15:02June Jambalaya, Orion's story.
15:06The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
15:16June Jambalaya, shantay you stay.
15:22Orion, sashay away.
15:24Love you, baby.
15:25We love you.
15:28Every emotion is going through my body.
15:31I just, like, don't know how to feel.
15:34I just kind of set myself up for failure sometimes.
15:37I have to stop waiting until the last second.
15:40That was my downfall.
15:44Mmm.
15:46There's notes.
15:48Oh, my God.
15:49I'm gonna cry.
15:51It was so lovely meeting you.
15:53I loved your aerobics character,
15:55and I can't wait to see what else is in this chamber.
15:58Bosco.
15:59That's so sweet.
16:01Hey, love.
16:03Remember, you made it on Drag Race.
16:05Sending good energy to your cat, Carrie.
16:11Ooh, this is the worst.
16:16It's definitely a lot harder than you think.
16:19There is so much that goes into it
16:21that you don't even think about.
16:24But I do feel very validated
16:26that out of everyone who auditions every year
16:29that I got on, and I got on my first time.
16:34The hard shit in a chamber
16:35is gonna follow me for a while, I think.
16:39I'd be very happy to just probably burn this wig.
16:44I'll have a bonfire.
16:46I want to see my cat.
16:48I'm also excited to go lay in the woods.
16:51I do that a lot.
16:53RuPaul, you haven't seen the last of me.
17:08The judges saw my fearlessness.
17:13I take a lot of pride in that.
17:16The journey never ends.
17:20Bye.
17:21Bye.
