00:02Oh my God! Look at this! Wow! Crazy, crazy, crazy.
00:10My name is Brian, I'm 29 years old and I've had a show at a nightclub in Las Vegas for
00:14about six years now.
00:15This is sickening!
00:17My persona has always tried to be a little more on the realistic side,
00:21but wearing costuming that is super couture.
00:24People call me the Barbra Streisand of drag.
00:26This is gonna be fun! Fun, fun, fun!
00:29Because I've heard she's a real bitch and she's anal retentive about everything.
00:33That's kind of, I guess you could say, how I am.
00:35Hi!
00:36I am Jorge Flores, a.k.a. Nina Flowers.
00:39Ow!
00:40You are just painted. Painted out of your mind.
00:43I started like around five o'clock in the morning.
00:45Did you really?
00:45Yes, girl.
00:46I don't consider myself as a female impersonator.
00:49I like to be more androgynous. It's an extravaganza.
00:53You are beautiful.
00:55Oh, thank you.
00:55You're really beautiful, girl.
00:57Like, whoa.
00:58This bitch is fierce.
01:00I can't wait to see who else is coming to compete.
01:03Hello!
01:04What's up?
01:05Hey, gorgeous!
01:06What's your name, darling?
01:07Rebecca Glasgow.
01:08Oh, my gosh.
01:08Pleasure.
01:08Nice meeting you, darling.
01:10Where are you from?
01:11I'm Javier. I'm 26 years old.
01:13Beautiful.
01:14That's what you think.
01:15This is crazy, isn't it, though?
01:16I'm just a small-town girl from sunny Florida with a big dream of becoming the next drag superstar.
01:25Hi.
01:25Hi.
01:26You guys are fabulous.
01:28Fabulous.
01:29Hi, darling.
01:30Mwah.
01:30Mwah.
01:31I'm Ryan, also known as Ong Jaina.
01:34Ong Jaina.
01:35Nice meeting you.
01:36My middle name's Ong, and God didn't bless me with a certain Aina.
01:39Hi.
01:39Hi, I'm Rebecca.
01:40Mwah.
01:41Amazing.
01:41And I'm really excited to meet everyone else so that I can scope up the competition,
01:47so that I know who I would be saying goodbye to on a weekly basis.
01:51Hello.
01:51Hi.
01:52How are you?
01:53What's going on?
01:54Rebecca, nice to meet you.
01:56Hi.
01:56I'm Victoria.
01:57I'm Victor.
01:57My stage name is Victoria Porkchop Parker.
02:00Victoria is very different from Victor.
02:02Victoria is very outgoing.
02:04She's very flirtatious.
02:04She likes to meet men, and she likes to entertain, and I can do things as Victoria that I could
02:10never get away with as Victor.
02:11I want a snicker.
02:13Hey.
02:14Oh, I've been doing this 21 years.
02:17It's a definite advantage.
02:19Woo!
02:21Hi.
02:22Hi.
02:23My name is Eric.
02:24I'm 24 years old.
02:25My name is Akasha when I'm in drag.
02:27My drag persona would be crazy, rambunctious.
02:31I'm sitting here all prepped and ready.
02:32If I was a girl, I would be a stripper.
02:34Or a slut and pregnant with a whole bunch of children.
02:36We both decided to do the whole naked feel.
02:38When I saw Chanel, I was like, oh, another skank with her butt hanging out.
02:41I thought I was going to be the only one that had my butt hanging out.
02:43Okay.
02:44Hers is a little flabby.
02:46It jiggles.
02:46Mine is solid muscles, so it doesn't, like, move at all.
02:49So, I mean, it just depends on what you're into.
02:52Hi.
02:53Hi.
02:53How are you?
02:54How are you?
02:56Hi there.
02:56My name is Tammy Brown with an IE.
02:59Hi, I'm Jaina.
03:00Hi.
03:00Nice to meet you.
03:00Hi.
03:01My real name is Keith.
03:02If I'm in drag or out of drag, I'm an entertainer.
03:04I am the character.
03:05What's going on?
03:06Well, this show.
03:08Crazy, huh?
03:09Popcorn and Cracker Jack.
03:10Okay.
03:11My eyes were wandering across the room and I was checking everyone out, kind of sizing up
03:14the competition.
03:15But every time I look at Tammy, she was staring at me and she was winking.
03:23And she was creepy.
03:26Hello.
03:27Hi.
03:28Hi.
03:29Hi.
03:29My name's David.
03:30I'm 24 years old.
03:31Jade.
03:32Jade Chanel.
03:33Nice to meet you.
03:33Jade is definitely my alter ego.
03:35Basically, she has more balls than I do.
03:37Mwah.
03:37Nice to meet you.
03:38Mwah.
03:38Not only am I going to be able to show myself as Jade, but I'm also going to be able
03:41to
03:41showcase my talents as a dancer, as a performer, as everything all in one.
03:46Hello.
03:47Yay.
03:48We're good.
03:49Hello.
03:50How are you?
03:51Bibi.
03:52Nice to meet you.
03:52Nice to meet you.
03:53My name is Nea Moshokudina.
03:55I'm from West Africa, precisely Cameroon.
03:57Bibi.
03:57Nice to meet you.
03:58I'm also known as Bibi Sahara Banay.
04:01How are you, Rebecca?
04:02Career girl on the go.
04:03She's been traveling this time.
04:04I walked into the room, my first impression was I thought all the girls were really stunning,
04:09but I bring a lot of international influence and I feel like right now I'm really ahead
04:13of the game.
04:15Hello races and welcome to the starting line of RuPaul's Drag Race.
04:21To win this competition, you're going to need to be more enterprising than Donald Trump,
04:25to get bigger than Oprah, and to be hotter than Tyra wearing a fat suit in July.
04:32But when it's all over, only one of you can drive away with the fierce title of America's
04:38next breakthrough drag superstar.
04:41Mm-hmm.
04:42So put your stiletto to the metal and let's take this mother from zero to fabulous in 3.5 seconds.
04:54Hello, hello, hello.
04:57Look how beautiful you are.
05:00When I saw RuPaul walk in, shivers just went down my spine.
05:04It was just seeing a superstar.
05:06Definitely RuPaul influenced me.
05:08She was doing things that I've always wanted to do.
05:10She was on talk shows, she was on videos.
05:13She's made people view us in a different light and has really opened doors for a lot of drag artists
05:20like me.
05:20How beautiful are you girls?
05:22It is my pleasure to have you all here at RuPaul's Drag Race.
05:26You come from all around this great country and thanks to Southwest Airlines, you arrived here safe and sound to
05:34compete for the crown.
05:35From thousands of submissions, you are the chosen nine.
05:42The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race is going to be one lucky lady.
05:46The winner will receive a feature photo spread in Paper Magazine, which was my first national cover.
05:54A portrait taken by renowned photographer Greg Gorman to be used in an L.A.
05:59Eye Works legendary designer eyewear campaign.
06:02And the winner will headline the Absolute Vodka Pride Tour across the U.S.
06:09Plus a cash prize of $20,000, courtesy of Absolute Vodka and MAC Cosmetics.
06:19I'm so excited I just dressed.
06:21Now, enough talk.
06:23Are you ready to play?
06:24Yes!
06:25The tension is killing me because I really want to know what's going to happen.
06:28There's somebody I want you to meet.
06:30Say hello to a world-renowned celebrity photographer who's photographed Dolly Parton and Beyonce.
06:36And a very good friend, Mike Ruiz.
06:41Wow!
06:46You guys are amazing.
06:48Aren't they gorgeous?
06:49Gorgeous.
06:50Now, Mike is here for your first official Drag Race photo shoot.
06:54The judges will be evaluating the photos as part of the elimination.
06:57He'll be shooting you one-on-one.
07:00Are you ready?
07:03Tighten those tucking panties.
07:05It's going to be a bumpy ride.
07:14We're going to have sexy Paris Hilton moment.
07:17Okay.
07:18So these two hot studs are going to be washing the car while I'm shooting you.
07:22What I'm hoping to get out of the girls is a connection to the camera, a connection to
07:28their bodies, and a connection to their aesthetic.
07:31And to assimilate well into this situation, which is going to be hypersexual.
07:36I would think a little sexier.
07:38This photo shoot is definitely going to separate the amateurs from the professionals.
07:43Beautiful.
07:43This is my first challenge.
07:45You know, it's kind of exciting.
07:46And hit it!
07:48Gorgeous!
07:49Beautiful!
07:50Work it!
07:51Oh, that's what I'm talking about!
07:54Okay, and we got the shot.
07:57All right.
08:00Darling!
08:02Hello, everybody.
08:03We've got our next model.
08:04Mamacita!
08:05What's up, boys?
08:07Chanel, you forgot the back of your outfit.
08:09They were half off.
08:10I had to have it.
08:11Oh, I see.
08:12What did I say?
08:14Oh!
08:14Oh, yeah.
08:16Dirty car.
08:18Washer.
08:19Beautiful.
08:19Oh, Chanel, I'm going to write you a ticket, girl.
08:22Yes.
08:24This is your car, and you want them to clean it.
08:28Every bit of it.
08:29I thought to myself, I've got two gorgeous men to go stand in between, and I'm going to
08:33make the most of this.
08:34Oh!
08:35He's got you all wet!
08:36Oh, my goodness!
08:37Hey, why don't you scrub him?
08:39Why don't you wash him?
08:40Scrub him down.
08:41He's dirty.
08:42I loved feeling on their bodies, and I helped wash their backs, and woo!
08:46It was fabulous.
08:49Ooh!
08:50Yes, mommy!
08:51Oh!
08:52Oh, Nina!
08:53Yeah, work it out!
08:54Yes, mommy!
08:55Gorgeous!
08:56I went wild.
08:57I went for it.
08:58I wasn't thinking about my makeup, about my outfit, about my wig.
09:02It was incredible.
09:03Watch out for that hose, Nina!
09:05Oh!
09:06Yes!
09:06Ooh!
09:07We got our cover!
09:08Woo!
09:10Yes!
09:11This is the cover of Drag Race magazine.
09:14Oh, yes!
09:15That's what I'm talking about!
09:16What's all that junk in your trunk, Akasha?
09:19Ooh!
09:19Sex sells, baby!
09:20Yes!
09:20Oh, make love to the camera!
09:23Eat your heart out, Naomi Campbell!
09:25The minute Akasha walked away from the camera, I could tell she was pissed for being doused
09:30with water.
09:31Oh!
09:31Oh!
09:32Get the cameras and shoot her in!
09:34Oh, the shoots are going!
09:34Woo-hoo!
09:36Yay!
09:37My vagina got wet.
09:39It's illegal in this state, Akasha!
09:45Girl, that was an interesting experience.
09:48Literally, we have just taken a bath in water in full drag.
09:52Everything is just nasty and disgusting.
09:54And fortunately, we could take it all off, and I thought, oh, thank God.
09:56Who liked them titties and stuff?
09:57Do you love them?
09:58Do you love them either?
09:59Oh!
10:00My talent usually relies on my shock value.
10:02I love the attention.
10:03I do.
10:03I love it, crave it.
10:05Akasha is a little edgy, but I think that's just the way she wants to be.
10:08That's for you.
10:13Akasha's kind of childish.
10:14Fuck you, pork chop.
10:15Fuck, fuck you.
10:17Oh, I like it.
10:18I like it.
10:18It's lovely.
10:19Everyone's kind of young, and everyone wants to have a good time.
10:22And I think they need to realize that they might not be here.
10:28When I saw the car, and the buckets of soap, and the hoses, I just took over.
10:33Oh!
10:34Oh, this ain't no truck stop, honey.
10:37Oh!
10:37Yes, mama!
10:39Hose on China down.
10:42Beautiful.
10:43Guys, get it a little tighter.
10:45Cameroon.
10:46Yes, don't be shy.
10:47Yeah.
10:48All right.
10:49Put it into cruise control.
10:51Beautiful.
10:52All right, we got it.
10:54Oh my God!
10:58This is such a sad story.
11:00Oh.
11:02Give me every bit of sex that you have.
11:05Give me J-Lo, honey.
11:06Yes, mommy.
11:06Yes, yes, yes.
11:07Use those props.
11:08Use that hose, honey.
11:10Ooh.
11:10Ooh.
11:11Pull up to the bumper, honey.
11:13Beautiful.
11:14Yeah, play to the camera.
11:15Remember, they're here to serve their queen in any way you need.
11:21Yeah.
11:22Gotta get that shot.
11:23Wet t-shirt contest.
11:24Yeah, now interact with them, but you're playing it to me.
11:26Like they're just your boy toys.
11:29All right, we got it.
11:31Give them the girls a lot.
11:32All right.
11:32Beautiful.
11:33Hey, guys.
11:35Hey, guys.
11:36Hey, guys.
11:36Hey, guys.
11:37It was kind of nice to see all the girls out of drag because you never really meet someone
11:41until you meet them out of drag and you really meet the person behind the mask.
11:46Oh, you look like a lesbian right now.
11:49When it came to all of us getting out of drag, Nina surprised me because she's covered in tattoos.
11:53All right, so you all tatted up.
11:55Yeah.
11:56All right.
11:56Oh, she's rough trade over there.
11:58Oh, you know that.
11:59I like that guy.
11:59Okay.
12:00You said you were not a lesbian.
12:02I don't know what you're talking about.
12:04The largest transformation to me was Nina Flowers.
12:07When she got out of drag, she held on a wife beater and was tattooed from head to toe.
12:11She looks like a dude.
12:13Well, look how thick her eyebrows are.
12:14Tammy, her eyebrows are as a boy are just out of whack.
12:17You just want to take a weed whacker and just attack them.
12:20Jade is very cute.
12:21I might be a lesbian with him.
12:23That was hot.
12:25After Rebecca took her makeup off, I thought she might have had her lips done.
12:28Rebecca, did you get your lips pumped?
12:30No, never mind.
12:30We all think that you done had some work done.
12:32My nose is real and my lips are real as well.
12:34You get the other one.
12:36Realness.
12:37Well, hey, dolls.
12:40Well, look at you.
12:42Look at you.
12:43You arrived here all sticky and sweet.
12:47And now you've been washed clean.
12:49Baptized by Miss Paul.
12:51Now, today's challenge is drag on a dime.
12:56You have to recreate your glamorous drag look using hand-me-downs from the Studio Wardrobe Department on Highland.
13:04And to help you accessorize, we went to the dollar store and got you a whole bunch of crap.
13:15This might be a recipe for disaster.
13:18Making anything from garbage to couture never happens.
13:24Now, you can wear your own wigs, heels, and undergarments.
13:27And as far as makeup is concerned, Mac has that covered.
13:30But after that, your outfit needs to be 100% recycled fashion.
13:36I've probably got about $25,000 in costuming and rhinestones with me.
13:41I've got headpieces and headdresses and 16 pairs of shoes, 22 outfits, things with Versace buckles on them.
13:47And our challenge is create a fabulous outfit from some of the ugliest, tackiest, most horrible thrift store clothing that
13:56your grandmother wouldn't even wear.
13:58Now, most importantly, this outfit has to scream you.
14:03You have the rest of the day to work.
14:04And remember, you will be judged on both your drag on a dime outfit and your photo from today's shoot.
14:11When you present yourself tomorrow on the main stage, in addition to being beautiful, the judges will be looking for
14:17your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
14:21Say it again with me.
14:22Charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
14:27Again, Tina!
14:29Gentlemen, start your engines.
14:33May the best woman win.
14:36Go!
14:42Watch your eyes.
14:43The first challenge came, it actually hit you in the face. Like, guess what? This is competition. People switch from
14:49being nice to, oh, I don't care about what you're doing right now. I am going because I need to
14:53take care of myself.
14:54So it was like a reality check to your face.
14:56Ouch!
14:57I can sew on a button, I can sew a hole up in a dress, and that's about it.
15:03I think if maybe I had a couple yards of very pretty fabric, I could make something out of it.
15:08But literally, we had crap.
15:11They took the noodles and everything.
15:14It was really funny that as soon as this challenge started, that everybody got quiet and didn't say a word
15:19for about 30 minutes.
15:28When we started constructing our garments and I looked at Rebecca, she kept going back and forth like she didn't
15:34know what she wanted to wear, what kind of ideas she was trying to create and stuff. So I think
15:38it was a little bit challenging to her.
15:44So, Miss Victoria, when did you start doing drag?
15:46I did drag my first time on January 16th, 1987.
15:50Wow!
15:51How was that scene?
15:52It wasn't as open as it was now.
15:54Back then, guys used to ride by and I've been shot at.
15:57I've had things done.
15:57No way, really?
15:58I had to go to the emergency room and drag just because I was a female impersonator and I was
16:02standing in front of a gay bar.
16:04Y'all have it easy on these young girls.
16:06I'd say.
16:07Porkchop does have the most experience, but sometimes experience doesn't really get you where you want to be.
16:14Hello, hello, hello!
16:15Hey, ladies.
16:17Hi there.
16:17Just checking in.
16:19We're going to start over here with the Nina.
16:21Now, it looks like you've chosen to do a whole dress.
16:24To me, it has a sense of the 80s.
16:26It's very dynasty.
16:28Right?
16:28Exactly.
16:29So, now, Nina, when I see the dress, I feel like it's not quite Nina enough yet.
16:36Okay, I'll work on that, definitely.
16:37Okay.
16:38Okay, thank you.
16:38Alright.
16:38Thank you very much.
16:39Now, Tammy, this is your station over here?
16:41Yes.
16:41Now, what is this you are working with?
16:43This is from the 99 cent store.
16:45Yeah.
16:46And it's the clean the house stuff.
16:47Yeah.
16:47And were they in these circles already?
16:49No, I made the circles with the little tortilla, Dora.
16:51Would you like some tortillas?
16:52Keep your tortillas nice and warm.
16:54Oh, gorgeous.
16:55Now, are you going to use the tortillas on your outfit too?
16:57No, I was going to take them back to my room, put some cheese in there and iron them.
17:00Work it out, mommy.
17:02Yes, ma'am.
17:03Oh, boy, look at that.
17:06Tina Marie, eat your heart out.
17:07I love that you like to show off your body.
17:10I do.
17:10You're not afraid of that, are you?
17:11No, I'm not.
17:12It's kind of not much of a dress because there's not much fabric since I don't like to wear much
17:16clothes.
17:16What from the 99 cent store are you going to use on this outfit?
17:19I'm not sure yet.
17:20I'll have to go and scrape through the stuff and see what's left.
17:23Mm-hmm.
17:23I went through all the 99 cent store stuff and I literally thought, what the hell am I supposed to
17:28do with this crap?
17:29I need you to think about how you incorporate the items from the dollar store because that's a really big
17:33part of the final score.
17:36All right, kiddo.
17:37Good luck.
17:39All right, Jade.
17:40Now, I love what you're doing here.
17:42You haven't had a lot of time, but you've made a lot of headway here.
17:44You've got some braiding going on here.
17:46You've reconstructed this sort of African print.
17:49Now, listen, Jade, I'm going to encourage you to take some more chances with your makeup.
17:53You know, you've got a gorgeous face.
17:56It's a more sophisticated look.
17:57Okay.
17:57Okay?
17:58Definitely.
18:00Angina.
18:00I see lots of plastic and ruffles and lace over there.
18:05Yes.
18:05Really, really wonderful.
18:07What was it originally?
18:08This plastic.
18:09This was a tarp thing.
18:10Oh, yeah, yeah.
18:10Yeah, and then this is for shower, like the shower thing.
18:13Oh, yes.
18:13Yeah, and so I unraveled them and made them into my little ruffle.
18:16Very nice.
18:16And from the thrift store, I cut out a zipper.
18:20Yeah.
18:20Because this is actually going to be a high-waisted skirt.
18:22Mm-hmm.
18:23And what I do for work is visual.
18:26And what I see visually kind of reflects on how Angina becomes.
18:30It's going to be genius.
18:31It looks beautiful.
18:33All right.
18:33I wanted to create a very nude illusion.
18:36Yeah.
18:36So this actually will go all the way through the leg.
18:38Ooh.
18:39And come up and literally give complete bottom here.
18:44Yes.
18:45Very low cut in the back.
18:46Because you feature the back door a lot, don't you?
18:48Yes, I do.
18:49Yeah.
18:49I do.
18:49I do.
18:50You have to use the skills to what?
18:52Pay the bills.
18:53There you go.
18:53There you go.
18:54Chanel is one of those who is more into the sex appeal.
18:57You know, she likes showing a lot of her body.
19:00It's different than my style.
19:01It doesn't mean I cannot do it, but I choose not to.
19:05Bebe.
19:05Hi, Ruth.
19:06Now, I know you're very crafty.
19:08I am.
19:09Oh, my goodness.
19:10You're gluing wood chips.
19:11I am.
19:12To a pant leg.
19:13Yeah.
19:14I'm trying to do the beauty of a blend of culture and also elegance meets raw.
19:19That's why I decided to use the wood chips.
19:21The wood chips.
19:21So I want to keep it very simple and right to the point and very tasteful because that's
19:25the kind of person I am.
19:27Okay.
19:28I think that Bebe realized when we started the challenge that maybe she didn't have
19:32as much together as she thought.
19:34I wouldn't mind if Bebe went home, actually.
19:38Now, this is a lot going on, isn't it?
19:41It is a lot going on.
19:42I'm getting Bette Midler luau here.
19:45Kind of.
19:46It's kind of a drag queen at the beach.
19:48I'm a lot of woman.
19:49I incorporated a lot of outfits.
19:51I took three outfits apart, put them all back together.
19:53Now, are you afraid that it's going to be more costume and sort of fashion-y at all?
19:58Well, it could be.
20:00Well, you want to wear the dress.
20:01You don't want the dress to wear you.
20:03Hi, Rebecca.
20:04Hi.
20:04What you got here?
20:05This is a look that reflects on my attitude and the way that I am.
20:10So I like to call this a little bit of glamour with punk.
20:13This looks like it's all from the thrift store.
20:16What here is from the 99 cent store?
20:18Well, I wanted the neck to stand up.
20:19So inside, there is a fly swatter.
20:23Mm-hmm.
20:23Inside, I'm so behind.
20:25And when I thought that maybe I had something, that's when RuPaul came around.
20:30And I was like, oh, shit.
20:32You know, honestly, Rebecca, I hear what you're saying and I get the concept.
20:35But it seems like it's just taken from the hanger and put onto the dress form.
20:41I really want to see a little bit more creativity.
20:46If I were you, I would think a little bit more about this.
20:51Okay.
20:52At that point, I felt like a complete failure.
20:55However, I had to keep myself together because I am not going home just because I made an ugly garment.
21:00Ladies, I will see you tomorrow on the main stage.
21:06Make me proud.
21:07And remember, don't fuck it up.
21:12Wear it out.
21:13I'm kind of worried about Rebecca and Akasha.
21:16They're all freaked out and I'm kind of concerned because I like both of them a lot.
21:19So I don't want to be all home.
21:21I'm extremely nervous.
21:29Oh, my God, what happened here?
21:30Tornado hit it.
21:31Today is elimination day.
21:33Someone is going home and I'm really scared.
21:36Straight to work, girls.
21:37Straight to work.
21:38Walking into the work room this morning is kind of overwhelming.
21:41Everything just laying there on the mannequins and on the tables.
21:43It was like, wow, this is a mess.
21:45Who's not done with this stuff yet?
21:47You.
21:48I'm not done.
21:49I'm staying beside me so I don't have to be the only one that's not on me.
21:51I'm not done yet.
21:52I'm not done yet.
21:53Are you not?
21:53No.
21:54I decided to trash for herself completely and start from scratch.
21:57Hopefully, RuPaul likes it.
22:01Can y'all turn the air on?
22:03It's hard to put on makeup when it's running off.
22:04Maybe the makeup's just scared to stay on your face.
22:09Geez, cat fight.
22:10We were given an hour and a half this morning to completely get ourselves into drag.
22:19Every time I go to stage, I take from two to three hours to do my makeup.
22:24I can do makeup in less than two hours.
22:26It's just not gonna be like I wouldn't love it to be.
22:33These girls, you know, they're hot, you know, they're rocking their shit and they're doing
22:36really good, so I'm nervous about that, but I think I'm gonna dust a couple of them.
22:41My regular judges, first, fashion journalist and best-selling author, Merle Ginsberg.
22:47I'm very happy to be here.
22:48And hello to my pal, the shamelessly outspoken designer who's no stranger to the runway.
22:54Shake the dice and steal the rice.
22:56Santino is here.
22:57Mwah.
22:58Mwah.
22:58And our guest judge this week is celebrity photographer, Mike Ruiz.
23:02Hey, Ru.
23:03And our extra special surprise guest judge this week, a living legend.
23:08Welcome one of my idols, Mr. Bob Mackie.
23:12Hey, Ru, you're gorgeous.
23:13Thank you, darling.
23:14The challenge this week is drag on a dime.
23:17Let's see how they did.
23:19Gentlemen, start your engines.
23:22May the best woman win.
23:28I'm pretty sure that some people are not very comfortable about the kind of drag that I do.
23:34Ooh, it's severe up in here.
23:37But that is exactly what makes me stand out, that I'm different.
23:43Akasha, part of a wholesome breakfast.
23:45I felt fierce, honey.
23:47I said, hmm, I look good.
23:49I did smile at the end of the runway to show them my pearly whites, because I have a gorgeous
23:52smile.
23:55My dress is dynamite.
23:57I knew exactly what I was going to do on the runway.
23:59And all the nervousness kind of went away the minute that I hit that plexiglass.
24:04Ooh.
24:10It's Victoria Parker for your consideration.
24:13I hate my outfit, but this is what I've got to work with.
24:16So I've got to make the best of what I've got.
24:18And the charisma that I've got inside of me, I'm trying to express it to the judges panel.
24:23Brigadoon.
24:25Cameroon.
24:25I look at the set, and I look at Ru and all the judges, and I was like, oh, my
24:31God.
24:32How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?
24:34Oh, table for two?
24:39Ooh, miss got the body.
24:41I have a feeling that the judges in their mind already think, oh, she thinks she's going to win this.
24:47So we're going to give her no reaction as to not boost her confidence level any more than it probably
24:52already is.
24:58Ooh, Lion Queen.
25:00I was dead nervous.
25:01I was shaking inside.
25:02But I went out there, and I kind of just did my thing.
25:04And you know, it works.
25:09Let them have it, Miss Rebecca.
25:11She's no longer on the farm.
25:14Rebecca has escaped.
25:15After all the drama and freaking out and everything, I love my outfit.
25:19It describes me from top to bottom.
25:26Tammy Brown's in town.
25:27I think Betty Davis is in town.
25:29Yes, she's very, very Betty Davis.
25:31As I'm walking down the runway, I acted like a model, more so a fit model from the 30s.
25:36Oh, that's my entrance and exit, Tammy.
25:43Ladies, the judges have calculated your scores.
25:48Will the following girls please take one step forward?
25:56Jade.
25:58Chanel.
26:01Bebe.
26:04Tammy Brown.
26:07The four of you are safe for now.
26:10You can leave the stage.
26:11You're still in the race.
26:13The five of you represent the best and the worst of the week.
26:18One of you will win this challenge, and one of you will be sent home.
26:25First up is Angina.
26:28Tell us what's going on with your outfit.
26:30These are luffas.
26:31So I unraveled them, and then I hand stitched them so that the ruffle would kind of be perfect.
26:37When I heard the name Angina, I thought, oh my dear, this just sounds like a cross between a heart
26:42attack and a yeast infection.
26:43I have to admit.
26:44When I put it together with the look and the whole luffa kind of Carrie Bradshaw goes to Rio, it's
26:50very, very, very charming.
26:52Thank you so much.
26:54You know exactly how you want to look, and it's so obvious.
26:57You wear it like, this is mine.
26:59I was very impressed.
27:00Although, when I see you, I still see a little boy.
27:03I would love to see more of a little lady.
27:06Okay.
27:07You may join the other girls.
27:08Rebecca Glasscock.
27:11Looks like you're about to take a bite out of crime.
27:14This Rebecca is very female, take me.
27:18I would think that was a girl.
27:19This Rebecca here is very boy as girl.
27:22Were you not a little worried about how short your dress is?
27:25I knew it was going to be at least safe where the goodies weren't exposed, so.
27:31I'm curious about your costume today, your outfit.
27:34What are the materials you used to?
27:35This is all barbecue tinfoil cutouts.
27:39I think this outfit would even have gone over more if your body language was a little better.
27:45I think you could have come lower in the front and made it a little more provocative, and your belly
27:50button looks adorable.
27:52Thank you, Rebecca.
27:53Miss Victoria Parker.
27:54This is the first outfit I've ever made in my life.
27:57I've never sewed a stitch.
27:59I'll applaud your color combination on your outfit today, but I feel like it looks a little disjointed.
28:07Porkchop looked like a football field.
28:10Not a lot of focus here, Victoria.
28:12Were you just swept away by the chocolate thunderstorm that was in the area?
28:16Well, I was kind of having a good time.
28:20I think you have to keep looking at the camera, make sure that you're focusing at the camera.
28:24So you don't get lost in the picture.
28:26It looks like a double stuffed Oreo.
28:30Akasha, here you are like, come get me, okay?
28:34But here you're a little demure.
28:36I'm not being demure.
28:37You just seem a little shy, mainly when you walk the runway.
28:40Really?
28:41Yeah.
28:42Okay.
28:43It looked like you were uncomfortable.
28:45The dress, I think, is just unflattering.
28:47It just looks a little cheap.
28:49It looks like you're ready to give a $20 hand job or something.
28:52I mean, it's like, it's not...
28:53That's not a bad thing.
28:54You know, it's...
28:55All right.
28:56I kind of get mixed messages from you.
28:57I kind of feel like you want to be here, and then I kind of feel like sometimes you don't
29:00want to be here.
29:02Bitch, I'm here.
29:02I took off of work.
29:04Oh, I want to be here.
29:05All right.
29:05Keep it hood.
29:05Keep it real, Akasha.
29:06Nina.
29:08Hola.
29:09Santino, what'd you think?
29:10Ugh.
29:10Mommy, I can't get over your outfit.
29:12And it's got, like, that real aggression and a real twisted beauty about it.
29:17I love the kind of, you know, ribbon across the face.
29:20It's dramatic, and it's a little scary, and I like that.
29:22You know what I love is that it has all this hard edge and this drama, and yet it has
29:27this
29:27sweetness of little flowers cascading on the shoulders.
29:30You really took the whole thing and made it your own.
29:33Your image is so strong.
29:35I'd love to see a softer side of Miss Flowers.
29:37I want to see the flower.
29:39Ooh.
29:40Ooh.
29:40Your photo shoot, you connected completely with the camera.
29:43You were amazing.
29:44You gave a lot of intensity.
29:45I think you may need to take a pregnancy test.
29:51While you all go and wait in the interior illusions lounge, the judges and I will deliberate.
29:57Girls waiting to have their picture taken backstage in the green room.
30:02And we are in the green room.
30:04That's good.
30:05It's actually tampon.
30:08It's Kasha's room, Mama.
30:09Work it.
30:10She's green.
30:11Wearing it.
30:11Are you jealous?
30:12The girls tried to figure out why Tammy Brown had been picked first for the photo shoot.
30:18How about her being picked first?
30:19I wanted to be picked first.
30:21Or we all did.
30:23Well, we all want to be picked first.
30:24You know what, though?
30:24I think that she has a very good spirit.
30:26Oh, she's brilliant.
30:27And I think that maybe the photographer saw her smile and the spirit.
30:30Meanwhile, Tammy was working it on the hood of a car as this unseen photo shoot footage
30:35showed.
30:35Work it out, sister.
30:37Fantastic.
30:40Back in the green room, having only met a few minutes before, some girls were already
30:46discussing Tammy's looks behind her back.
30:49I love all of the girls here.
30:51And I'll tell all of them how I think about them.
30:52Tammy reminds me of a separate wife.
30:55I don't know why.
30:55Oh, yeah.
30:56The girls were unaware that they were about to be soaked in cold water.
31:00But they did know one thing.
31:01The photographer was hot.
31:03Michael Lois is hot as hell.
31:06All I know is he's hot as hell.
31:08Here we go out there.
31:09I will pop his baby.
31:09I agree.
31:10So to me and you both.
31:12Pop two.
31:13Some girls wondered if they might even have to take their clothes off for the photographer.
31:18What if we have to do a nude photo shoot?
31:19Did you get an opinion for a second there that it would be like stripping out his
31:22face?
31:23I asked her.
31:23I said, what if we have to do a nude photo shoot?
31:24Go bring it out.
31:25I'll do it.
31:26I'll do it.
31:27Where are you at?
31:28I just want him to get body just back.
31:31See, we're in the same length with that, honey.
31:34You the Emmy and I'm the chocolate head.
31:35No, I'm chocolate too.
31:37That's why I said Emmy and the chocolate is both the same thing.
31:39The girls tried to guess whose turn was next on the set.
31:43Who do you think is next?
31:44I don't know.
31:44I'll take 50 seconds after all y'all because he's so sad.
31:47Who's going to be next?
31:47Who do you think is going to be next?
31:49I don't even care.
31:49I say Chanel.
31:50I don't even care.
31:51Nina.
31:51Really?
31:52Yeah, Nina.
31:53I'm going to be like fifth when he's like really riled up and hot.
31:56No, third or fourth.
31:58Third or fourth because he's got his groove on.
32:00He knows where his reach is and he's ready to let me in.
32:04The girls were still getting used to the cameras and Bebe was a little nervous about being
32:09seen eating.
32:10Girl, that is not even a real bite.
32:12That is because of my lipstick.
32:14I was wearing my lips.
32:14I don't know how to air it.
32:15We don't care.
32:16We won't care about it.
32:16I'm self-conscious right now.
32:20You better turn into the apple like a man.
32:22Stop trying to protect you a lady right now.
32:26Others, however, were not so self-conscious.
32:29I love nuts.
32:30Okay.
32:31So good.
32:33Especially salty ones.
32:36The girls also had to get used to the microphone boom hanging over their heads.
32:40You're going to close someone's eyes out.
32:42That looks like something I have at home.
32:43Cheers.
32:44Yeah.
32:46I think you use it for different purposes.
32:49For dusting, of course.
32:50Yeah.
32:50Okay.
32:51Dusting in our own regions they can't read.
32:54Small cracks in crevices.
32:55Small cracks in crevices.
32:56Small cracks in crevices.
32:57Small cracks in crevices.
32:58They also had to get used to the rules of RuPaul's Drag Race, which doesn't allow cell
33:03phones on the set.
33:04How bizarre was that having to give up your phone?
33:08Oh my God.
33:09I couldn't.
33:10Like, oh my God.
33:10Well, I broke it while I was packing.
33:12So the screen is shot so I can't see anything on it.
33:15So I just gave it away one week.
33:16Did you make your last call?
33:18That was like being in jail.
33:19Yes.
33:20I know.
33:21You have two minutes.
33:22Who the hell am I going to call in two minutes?
33:24Like, just take it.
33:25In a room of queens of all shapes and sizes, Bibi brought up the issue of size.
33:30Honestly, with me, I would tell somebody you're fat.
33:33But why would you have an issue if somebody tells you you're fat?
33:36And you wouldn't have an issue if somebody tells you you're fat.
33:38It's because we put so much pressure on those words.
33:41That's true.
33:41But is there a difference between that and someone saying, you're ugly or you're pretty?
33:45Is there a difference between saying, oh, you're really pretty because you're thin
33:49or you're really fat?
33:50Is that the same thing as saying, you're really ugly or you're really pretty?
33:54Well, I think it's how you deliver it.
33:56You know what I mean?
33:56Yeah.
33:56Like, if I said, oh, girl, you're a fat girl.
33:58That's awesome.
34:00What I noticed when I moved, when I came to the States is that it's such a big issue.
34:05Which I understand.
34:06I really understand about the whole overweight issue.
34:09But I think they make it so sensitive for the bigger girls.
34:11Like in Africa, just women who are big are just, I mean, they're wealthy.
34:19They are the deal.
34:21You know, if you're a thin woman, there are more chances that men will not even want you.
34:24It's the truth.
34:26So then I come here and it's just totally the opposite.
34:28And it's like, wow.
34:29I think when you're a big person, you just have to realize who you are and you have to
34:32stretch what you've got and be happy with who you are.
34:34But you also need to understand that not all fat girls have that same attitude.
34:39And so what's happening is that the media is always portraying that as a negative.
34:44And so those who do not have that...
34:45So there's people like Monique and there's people...
34:47Hello, Monique.
34:48There's people who embrace their size.
34:50And if you embrace who you are no matter what size you are, that's what counts.
34:55It's hard with societal pressures, though.
34:57I mean...
34:57Society really does look at us and say we all need to be a size 6.
35:00The reality is that the average woman nowadays is at least a 10.
35:04But even further than that, society looks at all of us.
35:07Yeah, like as being drag queens.
35:09Exactly.
35:10I'm not a drag queen.
35:11Oh, I forgot you, a woman.
35:14Bibi soon got a chance to prove her womanliness in the car wash photo shoot.
35:19One by one, all the girls got a soak in.
35:21But while some girls were distracted by the hunky arm candy, others had the focus of a bullet.
35:28Next day, the girls walked the runway in their own drag-on-a-dime creations.
35:32Tammy Brown, Chanel, Bibi, and Jade were all applauded for their strong yet safe outfits.
35:38In this never-before-seen footage, they let it all hang out in the green room while the other girls
35:43were being judged.
35:45I feel like a beached whale.
35:46Oh, I am.
35:47Oh, my God.
35:48It's just...
35:48Can you even believe that?
35:49It was so weird.
35:51And those lights could not have been any hotter than they truly were.
35:54When they called my name first, I almost died.
35:56I mean, because it was either or.
35:57You didn't know whether if I was safe or...
35:59I know.
35:59I didn't know.
36:00I really kind of like my costume.
36:02I agree.
36:03I really do.
36:03When I walked down that runway, I knew my outfit was the deal.
36:06You know, and I kind of...
36:07I was a little bit, just a little...
36:09When she said, you have to be safe, you're safe.
36:12Bebe, you are safe.
36:14And playing it safe won't win you this competition.
36:16For the next challenge, I want to see you turn it up and turn it out.
36:21How do you take it up a notch when this is who you are?
36:23Because you're supposed to be saying who you are.
36:25Well, I mean, yeah, exactly.
36:26We were supposed to take, you know, from thrift store and then from all these racks and try to use
36:30as much combined together.
36:32And I think that we really did accomplish that.
36:34Chanel thought she knew the reason she was safe, but not superb.
36:38Drew did make comment to all of us in saying, ladies, you're all safe.
36:42However, you need to kind of step up your game.
36:44Well, what does that mean?
36:46I know for a fact that when I was on the runway, my umbrella broke, which totally sucked.
36:51And then when I threw it around and put around here, it obviously like grabbed my hair and it totally
36:56like made it stick up.
36:57So that sucked.
36:58Chanel was also concerned that her car wash photo shoot might not have been up to par.
37:02When they got that hose on me, all of the black from my hair literally was pouring all over my
37:07whole face.
37:08So I hope to God in my photo shoot.
37:10And I hope that that's not one of the reasons why maybe I didn't win is because I had a
37:14lap running out of it.
37:15The girls talked about the intimidating experience of facing the judging panel for the first time.
37:21It was kind of natural, but it was also nervous at the same time because it's like, what are they
37:24thinking?
37:25Do I have the right outfit that, you know, I mean, you feel confident about yourself, but you're not sure.
37:29Well, that could be what I saw.
37:30I looked straight ahead and I saw Bob Mackie sitting there.
37:32I know.
37:33I was like, oh!
37:34Like, really?
37:34Bob Mackie sitting there?
37:36Like, hello?
37:37Cher's costume designer of the world?
37:38I mean, honestly, I was really excited to see Santino.
37:40Having completed their first challenge, the ladies wonder what might next be in store for them.
37:44Well, the good thing is, ladies, queens, we don't know what's coming up next.
37:48I know it makes me wonder.
37:49But it's kind of scary because literally, in less than 48 hours, we have done posturing, we've had a photo
37:55shoot, and we've gotten soaking wet.
37:57And their thoughts returned to the girls still on stage.
38:01Okay, so who do you think is going to win it?
38:03Who do you think brought the creativity?
38:05I know who I hope wins.
38:05Who do you hope wins?
38:06Ms. Flores.
38:07The flowers?
38:07Nina.
38:09Well, I, but when you want to think about it, I just, like, there is none of those girls sitting
38:13there who should win the challenge.
38:16They've done nothing different than what we've done.
38:18I think everybody's fantastic.
38:19I'm only choosing Nina because of the five that are up there.
38:21Exactly.
38:22Yeah, exactly.
38:22I mean, if it was among us, then I have a different story because I think that a lot of
38:26our costumes are a little bit more elaborate than what Nina's costume is.
38:28And what's fabulous about Nina is if it's awesome, it does suit her personality beautifully.
38:34Exactly.
38:34You know what makes Nina so fabulous is that her look is so intense.
38:40However, what if the roles reversed and they said, okay, for all of the girls out there, you all have
38:45to do boy drag and she's got to do, say, fishy girl face.
38:49You know, what is the personality?
38:50It honestly boils down to a preference.
38:53It doesn't make her any better than us.
38:55Honestly, no one in this challenge is better than someone else is.
38:59No, no, no.
38:59It's our personalities, our individual, which makes us all fabulous.
39:02And why? Because that's why we were chosen to be here in the first place.
39:04If we all think that Nina is probably going to take the challenge, then who do you think is going
39:07to be going home?
39:07Girl, I don't want to comment on that.
39:09What do you guys think of Bakasha's outfit?
39:11It was very safe. Bakasha's outfit was very safe.
39:13I think she has got a beautiful face.
39:15She really gives me that Rihanna feel.
39:17I thought the hair was bad.
39:17Her hair and makeup was fine.
39:18Her makeup was fabulous.
39:19I think her outfit looks unfinished.
39:20Her outfit was...you know what?
39:22She has a lot of incredible personality.
39:24She's got a lot of charisma.
39:25She's fun.
39:25She's catty.
39:26She's witty.
39:26She's bitchy.
39:27I don't know, though, that she stepped up to what the challenge was offering.
39:34Victoria is here to win this game.
39:37And I can tell she's here to win this game.
39:39Not that she's going to win this game.
39:40She is a pageant queen and she's been very successful in the pageant system.
39:43She has an understanding and a talk and a walk that really works well for her.
39:48She may not be the thinnest girl or the most beautiful girl out there,
39:52but she has a lot of incredible talent in doing what she does.
39:56Do I think much of her outfit? No.
39:58But she was able to play a campier role in her costume.
40:02She mashed up cookies and she put them in a purse and so forth.
40:05That look really does exemplify the visual of what you think of when you see her.
40:11The girls took a moment to talk with Tammy Brown about her unique look.
40:16So, Tammy, how would you feel?
40:18Because, you know, I think everybody looks at you as being, you know, your vintage pinup kind of girl.
40:21You love, you know, the Joan Crawford, Betty Davis era, the 40s or whatever.
40:24How would you feel if they wanted to make you like this super, super modern, like, put you and say
40:30something like this?
40:31Well, I think I would take on the challenge no big deal as long as I'm shaved and I look
40:35nice.
40:35There's no stubble or bumps as long as you put me in the right fitting outfit.
40:38I know that when one of the interviews that they had, they asked me, you know, who do you think
40:41might be, you know, finding it a challenge?
40:43And I said, well, maybe Tammy and Nina because they're so into their own style, taking them out of it.
40:48I don't know whether they would want to or feel comfortable or even be able to.
40:51But how do you feel being forced out of your own style into another, like, let's say, Beyonce?
40:56How would you feel doing that? Would you hold your own character or would you impersonate Beyonce?
41:02I'm okay with it. I'm okay with doing it, to be honest with you. I'll pull them off. I brought
41:05a little dress, sexy dress.
41:07Rebecca was next up for discussion.
41:09I was so impressed with Rebecca's outfit from yesterday.
41:12And when she walked in yesterday, she was in that cute yellow off the shoulder tight top, very fishy with
41:16the jeans and the heels, the silver heels.
41:19She was very like, you know, painted lightly or whatever.
41:21So when the challenge came up and she really just basically took clothes off the rack and was piecing them
41:25together,
41:25I knew that RuPaul was going to go over and kind of, you know, read her, but she turned it
41:30out.
41:31Yes, she did.
41:32She took that criticism and then blew it out.
41:34She took the, what do you want to do, like, tin foil?
41:35She says, Tammy Brown, slow down. You're making me nervous.
41:38No, but she really did. I mean, she was giving us, you know, Whitney Houston's Queen of the Night.
41:42I mean, she built that bra thing up and I was pretty impressed.
41:45Jade was still a little frustrated that I had deemed her outfit safe.
41:50You know, I want to know why I was safe so that I can improve that.
41:54And Tammy suggested that they all talk to someone about it. Me.
41:58We could just ask her, say, listen, sister.
42:01What's going on? Because we're big fans of yours and we're here to represent.
42:04You know what I mean?
42:05It's true. We've got to talk to her. She's in, out, I'm out of there.
42:08Well, you know what? We're here to talk to you. We read your books. We watch your TV shows. We
42:12buy your albums.
42:13We're fans.
42:13We are fans.
42:14Oh, she's looking good and feeling gorgeous, right?
42:16We have a first lace from wig and my lace from wig. That's what we're here for.
42:19Chanel made it very clear what she thought her best skill was.
42:23If I get read by any judge about my makeup, I will be one unhappy bitch.
42:30I do makeup for a living and I know I'm real greasy because I have been up in this right
42:34now for, I don't know, 24 hours on that much sleep.
42:37And I give you your props. Your flowers, girl.
42:39My pee pee has been so up inside of me that she hurts. My heels hurt. I am over the
42:42moment right now. However, I can paint a mug.
42:46I can truly airbrush myself. I can give you Nina flowers. I can dust it up. I can rhinestone the
42:51face.
42:52So you can critique me that I'm too tan for being a white boy. You can critique me that my
42:57ass is too jiggly, whatever the situation.
42:59But don't try to read me from my face. I know I'm pretty. Why would they do this? It's all
43:02good, so.
43:04All right. Deliberations between us. What do you think of Vangina?
43:09I loved her. I thought she had so much spirit and so much kind of different style.
43:13But I have to say, I see a little boy, but it's not an illusion to me.
43:18Rebecca Glasscock. Do you believe that nose of hers?
43:20Her nose is as real as her name. Excuse me. I know nose jobs, okay?
43:25She needs to take more risks because just being beautiful isn't enough.
43:29She hasn't figured out what to do with her body.
43:31You know, that might work against her. Victoria. Porkchop.
43:35She doesn't know how to pull it all together and be really amusing.
43:39It's like a visual joke, but there's no... There's no payoff.
43:42Yeah. We are looking for an international breakthrough star.
43:45And she just may be too regional, perhaps.
43:49Let's talk about Akasha. Tragic. Wow. So much potential.
43:53A huge amount of potential, but you know what's holding back? That wall of anger.
43:58Nina Flowers. Love her. The best. Utterly original.
44:01Yes. I've never seen somebody do that kind of punk thing with a little road warrior.
44:06It all worked so well. I mean, it was so consistent from head to toe.
44:09My concern is I don't think she could do a very super soft, elegant...
44:13I'd like to see her try.
44:14So, do you think you know who we're going to be sending home?
44:17Uh, yeah.
44:18Well, you don't know anything because it's my decision.
44:22Welcome back.
44:23One of you will be named winner and receive immunity in next week's elimination.
44:28The winner will also receive a three-day stay at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
44:33With airfare provided by Southwest Airlines.
44:36And one of you will leave RuPaul's Drag Race for good.
44:46Angina, you're still in the race.
44:50Nina Flowers, you are the winner of this week's challenge.
44:57Thank you so much.
44:59This means you will have immunity next week.
45:02Congratulations. You're still in the race.
45:05I am ready to be the next drag queen superstar.
45:08Work it, honey. Work it. Work it.
45:11Rebecca, you started off slow, but you turned it out in the end.
45:17Congratulations. You're still in the race.
45:22Thank God.
45:25So, we're down to two dolls.
45:29Akasha.
45:30Now, in your photo, you really gave it.
45:33But I don't need to tell you, your drag outfit and your runway presentation were not a hit with the
45:39judges.
45:40I don't think that I deserve to be the top hoe, but I know my outfit's not bad enough to
45:45be in the bottom.
45:46But the judges proved me wrong.
45:49Victoria, you told us this is the first outfit you've ever made.
45:53And it shows.
45:55You have a lot of charisma, which we all love.
45:59We're all rooting for you, but do you have the potential to be great?
46:04I think Akasha needs a little bit more help and a little bit more training.
46:08I've been doing this a long time.
46:09In a moment, I will ask one of you to shantay, which means you can stay, and ask one of
46:16you to sashay away.
46:21I've consulted with the judges, my lawyers and housekeeper, but the final decision is mine to make.
46:28Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance of a song that is near and dear
46:34to my heart and is paying the mortgage on several homes around the world.
46:39Supermodel.
46:40This is your last chance to impress me and to save yourself from elimination.
46:46The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
46:50Good luck and don't fuck it up.
46:55Let the music play.
47:05I've always been taught in any situation, whatever's going on around you, whatever you've got on, entertain.
47:16I said fuck it.
47:17It's gonna be me and I don't give a fuck what's going on.
47:20I'm just serving it up.
47:37I was surprised because Victoria was all over the place falling.
47:42I have one thing to say.
47:44You better work.
47:52Akasha, Victoria, I've made my decision.
47:59Akasha, shantay, you stay.
48:04I do think that they should look out for me because I'm gonna try and bring it ten times more
48:08than I was already gonna try and bring it before.
48:12Victoria, I'm sorry.
48:14And I want you to know how glad I am I met you.
48:16I hope you take this experience back home with you and continue to do what you do best and inspire
48:22the children.
48:23It was a pleasure meeting all of you.
48:24Thank you for the opportunity and I've had a great time and I wish all of the contestants the best
48:28of luck.
48:30I got selected in the top nine from thousands of people, so I have nothing to be upset about.
48:34Thank you, Victoria.
48:36Now sashay away.
48:42I would like to send out to the plus size community.
48:44Live your dreams.
48:45Don't let anyone stop you.
48:45Don't let your size stop you.
48:47Unfortunately, I'm the first to go, but I made it here.
48:50Ladies, congratulations.
48:51And remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
48:57Can I get an amen in here?
48:58All right, let the music play.
49:00Well, obviously, if I had the chance to do anything differently, I would have made another outfit.
49:04My favorite memory being here at RuPaul's Drag Race was getting to know all the other contestants.
49:08All of them are really nice.
49:10Got to meet RuPaul and Bob Mackey and all of the other celebrity judges and I've had a really good
49:14time.
49:15And besides that, I've gotten a lot of Mac products, which I'll definitely use when I get home to my
49:18show.
49:19I hope Nina Flowers wins.
49:20I think she's got a lot of potential and hopefully she'll take it somewhere where it needs to go.
49:24She'll be a great representative for the community.
49:26So, go Nina.
