00:06Hi, welcome to Untagged, where you get all the tea.
00:13Bitch, it's the Rusical!
00:15America, let's do the math.
00:17It is a Rusical.
00:18Okay, I have musical theater experience.
00:20I fucking love Annie.
00:22And I'm literally obsessed with ballroom culture.
00:24One plus one plus one equals W-I-N.
00:27The first win.
00:28Or can you please that?
00:30We got this.
00:32It's opening night.
00:33To Lil' Salty and Big Peppa, to Rusical, and to Fanny's big, totally natural ass.
00:39Boom!
00:49And now, the world premiere of Fanny, the Hard Knock Ball.
01:01Thank you, thank you.
01:08I think the Rusical was really neck and neck, and I'm a little nervous, but I feel really
01:14good about my runway look.
01:16This look is quintessential Jane don't, and I'm so excited to be sharing it with the judges.
01:23Oh, yeah.
01:24Oh, yeah.
01:32Welcome, queens.
01:34Darlene Mitchell.
01:36Nini Coco.
01:37You are both safe.
01:40You may leave the stage.
01:45Oh, my God.
01:47What?
01:49Please, I call the IDK.
01:51Dang.
01:53Well, I didn't get the lead, but at least I'm not in the bottom.
01:57Safe is amazing.
01:58For now.
02:05Oh, it feels so good to be safe.
02:07Oh, my God.
02:09Holy shit.
02:10You need help?
02:11Yeah.
02:12God.
02:13We're ready to do this.
02:14No!
02:16Maybe?
02:17Oh, God.
02:19Grab that arm.
02:20Grab that arm.
02:20Grab that arm.
02:20Grab that arm.
02:20Grab that arm.
02:22They come back, and they're going to be like, who is that?
02:26Oh.
02:28This feels so good.
02:30This is the most Darlene reveal that could have ever been Darlene'd.
02:35Every time you pick a role, it's always perfectly you.
02:40I can call my own, maybe.
02:45I really wanted to, like, make a stamp on the Rusical.
02:48So, there's a piece of me that's disappointed that I couldn't find a part that I felt fit me the
02:53best.
02:54Mikey was the best fanny that this group could have had, period.
02:58Mikey sang that down.
03:00I don't know if you had those notes in you, girl.
03:01I didn't have those notes in me.
03:03Kiss this hardlock life goodbye.
03:06In my mind, I feel like Tops, Jane, Mikey, maybe Kenya.
03:16Are we including runways?
03:18Mmm.
03:20Yeah, I feel like Kenya looked gorgeous.
03:22It's just, maybe it's the weakest of the runways.
03:25And it was very similar to Discords.
03:28Yeah.
03:28It was kind of like, buy it online versus what arrives.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Oh, shit.
03:33Well, at least you could walk in it.
03:36I feel like Bottom, what do you think about Juicy?
03:38Juicy brings the performance.
03:41I think she had, like, a weaker recording session.
03:43If I shine too bright and see a mama's like, ooh, honey, I'm done.
03:46It all sounds da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
03:48Go above.
03:50Go take it to the extreme.
03:51So, I'm like, I don't know where to place her.
03:55Athena is potentially in the Bottom.
04:00If Athena goes, that is, like, crushing.
04:04Yeah, I kind of feel the same, too.
04:05Because she is so much of just, like, that mother.
04:08Even seeing her with Juicy, Athena really has been there for Juicy.
04:13Athena really is, it sounds like, both there for her in drag and out of drag.
04:19Right.
04:19And just in life.
04:20Like, she really is that bitch.
04:22Yep.
04:23What's her sign?
04:24Ooh, I don't know.
04:26She's probably told us plenty of times, but.
04:28Me and Juicy, like, live our lives by the horoscopes that she finds on Twitter.
04:31But they're so accurate.
04:32For you, it was the same time we were waiting to come here.
04:35And her horoscope says, this week, you're going to get a call that changes your life.
04:38I'm like, ooh, tell me mine, tell me mine.
04:40Yours says, the cage you're trapped in, you built yourself.
04:42I'm like, what the fuck?
04:43So, I want to weigh in.
04:44That one is accurate.
04:45That one's true.
04:47I also just noticed that there is a chocolate fondue machine.
04:51Oh, my God.
04:53This is luxury.
04:54This is what Mama Big Bucks would want.
04:57Oh.
04:59Oh, my God.
05:05Hello.
05:06Hello, Darlene.
05:08Well, this is awkward.
05:10Oh, it's not working.
05:13Ma'am.
05:13You're holding up the line.
05:20Well, ladies, can we all say congrats to Kenya?
05:22First time being in the top.
05:28Kenya, what are you feeling, babe?
05:29Um, I feel very good.
05:31I feel very proud of myself.
05:32For me to even be considered a part of the top of the Rusical is, bitch, it's an honor.
05:37That literally feels so good.
05:39It's so affirming to me.
05:40If I had any doubts in this competition, that really just wiped everything slate clean for
05:44me.
05:45Like, bitch, I brought it.
05:46I brought the Blah Henny.
05:49I'm just gagged at the critiques.
05:51To finally get positive things said to me was such a gag.
05:56The charisma.
05:58It was crazy.
05:59The whole rest of the play just disappeared when you came out.
06:02The critiques were definitely splitting pussy hairs.
06:05They were.
06:05No shade.
06:06The first thing they said was fantastic Rusical, fantastic runway.
06:11It was very that type of tea this evening.
06:14I really think the tops are really me.
06:18Yes, say it.
06:19Me.
06:20Yes, Kenya.
06:21Jane and Mikey.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Is that fair?
06:24That sounds right.
06:25I think so.
06:25Sounds like there are some other congratulations in the room.
06:28Yeah, me and Jane got some pretty phenomenal responses.
06:33Phenomenal.
06:35It's just awesome.
06:36It feels very good.
06:37Cliche to say I found my voice.
06:39You did.
06:40It's pretty.
06:41You knocked it out of the park.
06:42You really did.
06:42I feel like a new wind behind a part of myself that I didn't think existed anymore.
06:48You're not a singer.
06:49I am trained in musical theater.
06:52It's kind of a passion that I didn't feel like I was good enough in.
06:54But now it's cool to have both worlds.
06:56You need to do them both.
06:58Iconic.
06:58Thank you, honey.
06:59It was a big wow moment for sure for this whole competition.
07:03Yeah, you did that.
07:04Girl, speaking of iconic, miss it, Jane.
07:05Yeah, Jane got some of the best critiques I've ever heard in my life.
07:09It was perfection.
07:11I mean, the vocals, everything.
07:13Well done tonight.
07:15Well done.
07:16To see someone who is so good at what they do.
07:21And when you're in the zone, bitch, like, it's unstoppable.
07:25Yeah.
07:25Yeah.
07:25Discord, I'm very curious what you're feeling, what they said.
07:31They were like, oh, we were really nervous for you because we know you don't have any
07:34rhythm in your body.
07:35You struggle with walking.
07:37So when you had to dance in, like, a funky rap duo, I was like, oh, shit.
07:45The overwhelming critique was that they were proud of me because they knew that, like, this
07:50wasn't in my wheelhouse and that you and I had, like, a really, really strong duo.
07:54Bitch, cheers.
07:55Yeah.
07:57Sister?
07:59Trying to stay happy.
08:01It was hard.
08:02This one was really, really hard.
08:03Can I ask what the, like, critiques were?
08:07They said, you know, hit every mark.
08:10I just don't, there's, they're not seeing something with me, I feel.
08:14But something in the eyes is just, I wasn't there in the eyes.
08:18When you would scoot down your skirt, that was like, oh, she's that girl.
08:22But that was the only time I felt that the character came through behind your eyes.
08:27I don't know, I just, it feels, like, shitty to, like, I, am I, I just, I don't know.
08:34I don't know.
08:34I don't think I'm doing a good job.
08:36Um, I don't know, it just doesn't feel nice.
08:38Especially after, like, the comment last week.
08:40Who are you?
08:42This is the point where you need to emerge.
08:47You look gorgeous.
08:48Thank you, you too.
08:50Athena.
08:51Let me, let me get out of the way.
08:52Mother, how are you feeling?
08:52How are you feeling?
08:53Did I not sink into the furniture yet?
08:55You look like you might be trying.
08:56Sorry, do you want to check in?
08:58I don't have much to say, which is.
09:01Maybe a first.
09:02A first.
09:04I mean, I get it.
09:05I know it wasn't my strongest performance.
09:07You were able to take on the challenge, but if you don't let it show on your face, the
09:12world won't know.
09:12Right.
09:13What did they say was that critique?
09:15I mean, they really weren't horrible, but I'm in the bottom.
09:18That's the reality.
09:20And I'm in the bottom with her, which makes things really horrible.
09:23It's just like a double down horrible feeling, you know?
09:25I never wanted to get here to this point.
09:28So I'm kind of like, don't know what to make of it right now.
09:32I don't know.
09:33I really don't know what to say.
09:36I don't like to see you upset, especially when I'm struggling for my emotions, too, because
09:41I want to like console you.
09:42I really don't even know the words to say to make you feel better because I can't even
09:45say the words to make myself feel better right now.
09:46I'm stuck here trying to fight for my life, too.
09:49So I just hate, I hate feeling like this.
09:51So like vulnerable and like incapable, you know, it just feels really bad.
09:55If Juicy and I are in the bottom, one of us is going to have to win this.
09:58We both can't win this.
10:00This is scary.
10:02Like, the fuck is going to happen now?
10:09Hello, America.
10:10Just wanted to check in.
10:11I'm going to close the curtain.
10:13Just wanted to check in with everybody.
10:14Y'all get into this hair, bitch.
10:15I'm going to do a, I might just do a 360.
10:18I'm going to do a 360 on this wig.
10:19Look.
10:20Look at this wig.
10:21Catch the wig, darling.
10:22Side profile.
10:23Honey.
10:24And first of all, y'all can't take my side profile.
10:28Is this set up for us?
10:30Is this something?
10:30What is this?
10:31I don't know what that is.
10:33It was just in here, girl.
10:35Who would have put a bucket of things in there?
10:37What is that?
10:38I don't know.
10:40It's in the middle of the table for a reason.
10:41I feel like I'm doing bingo.
10:42Why don't we play the pointing game?
10:44Okay.
10:45The pointing game?
10:46Well, yeah, you know, the pointing game.
10:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:48So I'll count to three.
10:50One, two, three.
10:50And you point to whoever this qualifies you.
10:52Oh, Jesus.
10:52Okay.
10:53Who's winning the Rusical?
10:55Oh, definitely me.
10:56Oh, this one's tough.
10:59Um, that's tough.
11:00Okay, ready?
11:01One, two, three.
11:05I don't, I don't know.
11:07I think it is pretty tight between us.
11:09I think it's just tucked between you two.
11:11I guess we'll see.
11:13Okay.
11:13Who's the most delusional about their performance?
11:18One, two, three.
11:21Sorry, Discord.
11:22At some point to myself.
11:24Oh, yeah.
11:24I mean, we've told Discord.
11:25Yeah, I know.
11:26Yeah, she knows.
11:27We've told Discord.
11:27Discord's drinking that good bathtub hooch that makes her feel like, I think I nailed it.
11:35She comes off the stage every time and she's like, I think all of the judges want to marry me.
11:39I'll just ask for my number.
11:41Okay, okay.
11:42This is our last one.
11:43And this is funny.
11:44This is funny.
11:44Okay.
11:45Who isn't getting invited to the afters?
11:48Oh, man.
11:49Okay, ready?
11:50One, two, three.
11:52Okay, so I am going to...
11:54Okay.
11:55Who should go home tonight and why?
11:56Mini's got a gun.
11:57Mikey should go home tonight.
11:59You should go home.
12:01Go fucking home.
12:02Ah!
12:03So why?
12:04Why?
12:05What's the problem?
12:06I'm fun.
12:07I'm fun.
12:17I'm fun.
12:24I don't even want to fathom that.
12:25I don't want to see that.
12:28I don't want to see that.
12:29I don't want to see that.
12:30That's going to make me sad.
12:31I don't want to see that.
12:32I'm crying again.
12:34I know.
12:34That's like the thing.
12:35It's just not even going to feel good or fun.
12:38It's just going to feel sad.
12:41If either one of them were to go...
12:43I mean, it would be like when Vita left where I was just like, wait a second.
12:46This didn't plod into my calculations.
12:48Girl, there's really...
12:51There's only a few of us.
12:53I know.
12:53And it's getting tight.
12:56On like every single elimination, I'm like, fuck.
13:00Yeah.
13:02I think we all knew on some level something like this might happen.
13:08I mean, again, this is the danger of competing with your family.
13:10Like, it's incredible to have that support system.
13:14But like, we all knew that there was a possibility that at some point,
13:17they were going to have to go up against each other.
13:21How do you feel?
13:23Not good.
13:25And if they put us against each other?
13:32I love you.
13:34I love you too.
13:35I don't want to think like that right now, but...
13:37Yes, Les!
13:39I'm very emotional.
13:42I have a feeling that it's going to be Athena and I lip syncing,
13:44and Athena has been there for me through everything.
13:48It's not just a drag family.
13:49It's not just for Shell.
13:50She's always been there for me,
13:51and I know how much she wanted this for herself.
13:53It sucks.
13:57I don't want you to be sad or scared about anything while you're here.
14:06You've got to put your best foot forward, and so do I.
14:10And that's just what you have to do.
14:13You know?
14:14Oh my God, he's so hot.
14:17Let's see what happens.
14:18I don't like to see my girls dressing out.
14:21I'm worried about Juicy.
14:22I'm worried about myself.
14:23I don't know what's going to happen.
14:26It's a lot.
14:27It's a lot.
14:29We'll just see what happens.
14:32So girl, everybody come together.
14:34We have to do a group hug.
14:35Like, I'm so sorry.
14:35I would not let y'all leave here.
14:36I won't be a proper black Southern woman.
14:38Top eight.
14:39Top eight.
14:40Top eight of 18.
14:42It's a bunch of beige.
14:44Love y'all.
14:45Let's give it.
14:48I love my mother so much, but if we have to compete against each other, I'm ready to
14:53fight to stay here in this competition because one of us still has to represent Miami, baby.
14:58Bye.
15:00Oh, it's okay.
15:00They're feeling fierce, feeling fun.
15:04One more look.
15:05One more look.
15:06Oh.
15:08Okay.
15:14Okay.
15:15That should be good.
15:17Oh, no.
15:18I'll see you guys later.
15:23Welcome back, queens.
15:25I've made some decisions.
15:28Jane, don't.
15:29Condragulation.
15:30You're the winner of this week's challenge.
15:32Thank you so much.
15:34Juicy love Dion.
15:36Athena Dion.
15:38I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
15:42The time has come for you to lip-sync for your life.
15:57Juicy love Dion.
15:59Shantae, you stay.
16:04You may join the other girls.
16:08I love you so much.
16:13Athena, thank goddess we got to know you.
16:16Now, sashay away.
16:19May your prosecco always be on ice.
16:22May you always fly first.
16:25Always settle for more.
16:26And never accept any less.
16:38The lip-sync, it was just really emotional.
16:41It's a really heart-breaking moment.
16:45In a beautiful way and in a sad way.
16:47But I'm really glad I have that moment with her.
17:03Well, you know, this is how the game is played.
17:09And I'm proud of Juicy.
17:13And I'm proud of myself, too.
17:16From the first day into the workroom to the last day in the workroom,
17:19I don't feel like the same person.
17:21I've learned a lot about myself.
17:23I've had to take a hard look at myself.
17:25I've had to face some demons I haven't seen in a while.
17:28And I had to remember why I started this drag journey in the first place.
17:37It's very bittersweet.
17:39And I'm grateful for it.
