00:05I'm gonna miss Coco so much. She was so nice.
00:09I love you my sisters. The party starts now. P.S. Watch out, bitch.
00:17That's brilliant.
00:19I feel great. I just won the fucking maxi challenge.
00:22It feels like I finally arrived.
00:25I'm hoping the next challenge is up my alley as well so I can keep this winning streak going.
00:29Elektra, clean that mirror. You're gonna get RSI.
00:32This week should have been my challenge.
00:35If Elektra's drag career doesn't work, she can go into washing windows.
00:40Sorry, I probably fucked that outfit up as well.
00:43I was more confused than defeated.
00:46I was trying to figure out what it is the judges want.
00:50If I was Elektra right now, I would be shitting myself.
00:55Who here is confident?
00:58I'm not after this week.
01:00I know what they don't like, but I'm really not sure what they want me to be bringing with my
01:04style.
01:05The judges, I mean, their critiques kind of say that they don't think you have much of a taste level.
01:12Fuck me. Jesus Christ, etc.
01:16I'm very confused.
01:17Well, next time you get dressed from the runway, I'll do a head to toe and let you know.
01:22I've been in the bottom twice already, but I've also sent two bitches home.
01:26So I'm just gonna keep performing my ass off because that's the only thing that I can do right.
01:31I think it's Elektra's time to go.
01:33It's only so far you can get when you look like that in this competition.
01:40It's like putting glitter on a turd.
01:41It's still a piece of shit.
01:45Watch out.
01:47Bitch.
01:50Once a fake ho, always a fake ho.
01:54It's a new day in the workroom.
01:56Another week.
01:57I'm so excited.
01:58Top seven.
01:59Top seven?
02:01I love every week that you come and you're like, top nine.
02:04Top eight.
02:05I know, I just want to prove to the world I can count.
02:08I feel like Scarlett has an air of confidence about her.
02:11She's just won the challenge.
02:12She's clearly in her element, that fucking bitch.
02:15Winner, winner, chicken legs.
02:21If you're gonna roast me, spit on it first.
02:23You can slap me, but I like it.
02:25So how do you feel, Elektra? Back for another week?
02:28I feel good, actually.
02:29Like, I was down on myself last week after the critiques and stuff like that,
02:32but I was in the bottom for being too good.
02:43I don't think judges would put you in the bottom if you were too good.
02:47I think that's 100% what happened. They call me Beyonce.
02:49I don't think Beyonce ever wore a dress like that on the run.
02:54How do you feel being safe for three weeks in a row?
02:56I feel good.
02:57I would have loved to be in the top, but obviously I'm not doing anything wrong.
03:02Those two are gonna try and critique me.
03:04I'm sick of that.
03:05I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm stunning, this hair is everything.
03:09Like, it's not.
03:11I thought you were serving this whole fashion queen-y thing.
03:13Wouldn't the runways be where you would be excelling and being in the top?
03:18I think there is a target on your back, so I just want to lift you up and say,
03:22you need to bring it this week, baby, you need to fucking mash it out the path.
03:26I'm so glad that there's a target on my back.
03:28I can see Elektra getting fed up.
03:29She's really standing her ground and letting the other girls know how she feels.
03:33Well, like, you girls wanna just, like, go hard on me? Go hard on me, do you know what I
03:36mean?
03:36Focus on yourselves.
03:37I feel that we shouldn't give Elektra any scissors, she's coming because it's very angry.
03:40The room is starting to get a little shady this week, and I'm kinda here for it.
03:48It's happening!
03:51I hate oldie now.
03:53Whoa.
03:54None of us are friends.
03:56Channel that energy.
04:00G'day, g'day, g'day!
04:03You know, I love drag queens for so many reasons.
04:08But the number one reason is how drag queens can turn something tragic into something magic.
04:16Oh, pit crew!
04:26There's a lot of junk in there.
04:28I'm not talking about this.
04:29This dumpster is filled with items that people have tossed away.
04:35Things that deserve a second chance.
04:40You know what they say.
04:41One man's treasure is another queen's trash.
04:54Someone say trash!
04:57Someone say trash!
05:00What?!
05:01Oh, my God!
05:04I'm back!
05:11That is the biggest rat I've ever seen!
05:15Oh, my God, it's Art Simone.
05:18Some of these girls don't look happy to see me, Ru.
05:20Oh, wow. I see they've neglected to take the trash out.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Ladies, I have an announcement to make.
05:29Art Simone is rejoining the competition officially!
05:41Gag!
05:43Gag!
05:46Well, welcome back, Art.
05:48You know, rarely in this life do we get second chances.
05:51So use it wisely.
05:54Queens, for this week's maxi challenge, you need to take these crusty castoffs from the local op shop
06:02and turn them into runway looks that are drop-dead gorgeous.
06:08Design challenge.
06:10Could not be happier with that.
06:11I love making my own outfits.
06:14You can use your own hair, shoes, and undergarments, but the rest must be 100% recycled.
06:21Racers, start your engines.
06:25And may the best drag queen...
06:29win!
06:31Oh, my God!
06:34Yeah!
06:38These bitches are lunatics!
06:43Oh, my God, these bitches are so violent!
06:48Oh, my God!
06:49Last time I was pushed into a skip, at least I got a goby out of it.
06:52This is junk!
06:56It's crap!
06:57What am I going to make out of this?
06:58Oh.
07:00I'm grabbing toys.
07:02I'm reaching for every single thing I can possibly get.
07:04Oh, my gosh!
07:05Oh, sorry.
07:06Here's a book about you.
07:07The trout guy.
07:08Kev!
07:10Wow, there really is fuck all that.
07:15Has anyone here never made a costume for themselves?
07:18Like, head to toe, full costume?
07:19I'm not a sewer, but I got onto RuPaul's Drag Race, so I took fucking lessons.
07:25Because I'm not an absolute idiot.
07:28Design challenge.
07:30Yay.
07:33I'm not the world's bestseller.
07:35I can make an outfit, but conceptualising and executing something?
07:40This isn't my gig.
07:43Oh, my God, Art, you're back!
07:44How did you feel leaving?
07:46It was the lowest point of my entire life.
07:50My mentality is really switched up a lot different now.
07:53I'm here to just represent myself.
07:56And I'm gonna fucking get to the end.
07:58We've all seen you go home once, so we know that you can.
08:02And we know that Coco sent you home, and Coco got sent home by Elektra.
08:06So, in the pecking order of things, I mean, that means that...
08:10Can't anyone send you home now?
08:13I mean, but it is a design challenge, and looking around the room,
08:16some of these people can't even dress themselves.
08:18But, um...
08:19Sounds like the cocky confidence is back in the building.
08:22I'm gonna show these bitches how it's done.
08:26Aw, poor Coco, that's all right, bye.
08:29Now, I want to clear something up, girl.
08:31We found a note at Coco's station.
08:34I did.
08:35Yeah, that said, watch out.
08:36Was that you?
08:37Not me.
08:39It was you!
08:41Well, there's no footage of me putting that note there whatsoever.
08:43It was a ghost.
08:47It's gonna get heated today.
08:50So, Art's back.
08:51What do you reckon?
08:52Well, I have a lot of thoughts going through my head right now.
08:55Art Simone is an incredible drag queen,
08:57but she got eliminated from the competition,
08:59so she should be staying at home.
09:01What are you gonna do with your pile of shit?
09:03The first thing I saw was the boogie board.
09:06Okay.
09:07And then the second thing I saw in the pile of trash
09:08was Art Simone.
09:11So, if she gets to lose Snatch Game
09:13and come back to this competition,
09:14I feel like I want to redeem my Snatch Game Day as well.
09:17And I'm gonna try and pull together
09:18one of my backup Snatch Game characters.
09:21Karen is clearly pressed that Art is back,
09:23and I can see it going around in her head.
09:25She was thinking her biggest competition is gone,
09:27and now she's been knocked back.
09:29This could fuck with her flow.
09:36I am feeling good.
09:39Sewing costumes are something I do every day for a living.
09:41It should be a brilliant runway.
09:43I'm not at all worried about the construction part of this challenge.
09:47I'm gonna corset the shit out of it,
09:48but it's gonna be like a little capri.
09:50She is way too over-confident for this competition.
09:53You still have to make everything look like it's, um...
09:55Made out of shit.
09:56Unconventional.
09:57I find it hard to make things look shit.
09:59They know how this works.
10:00They know what they need to do.
10:01They know exactly what RuPaul wants.
10:07Tell it how you really feel.
10:09I thought I knew what RuPaul wanted too.
10:12And I've had to go back to the drawing board.
10:17Elektra?
10:18Yeah?
10:18These little white panties were over by your parlour.
10:21Are they yours?
10:21Yes.
10:22Why are you using them?
10:23I don't know yet.
10:24Okay.
10:25Give me another, like, hour.
10:27Okay.
10:28She's never getting those panties.
10:33I've just managed to get the material stuffed in.
10:35Ah!
10:35So I fixed it.
10:36I absolutely love the sew.
10:39But I don't really think sewing loves me.
10:46I'm looking at Anita and I'm thinking,
10:48that is a hot mess.
10:51Yes.
10:51Is that what you were feeling?
10:53I think so.
10:56I'm really worried that my dress is going to look a bit just super rough.
11:00You can't see what I want, right?
11:02Yeah, I can.
11:02Do you know what I think it's putting the problem, sis?
11:03The material?
11:04Is this fabric?
11:04Is there any other fabric?
11:06Well, Elektra has fabric.
11:07Ooh.
11:08Yeah, but Elektra doesn't let anybody else have stuff.
11:11Anita is struggling from the beginning.
11:13She's kind of, like, walking around, looking lost.
11:15She's cut up a couple of things and is trying them on.
11:18I can't wait to finish this up.
11:20Don't stress me out.
11:22It is a great job.
11:30Hey, ladies.
11:31Hi.
11:32Hey.
11:33How's it going with your op shop frock?
11:36Fabulously.
11:37Art Simone, come on over.
11:39Here's to second chances.
11:42Thanks for having me back.
11:43It was tough walking in because there's a lot of eyes on me.
11:45There's a lot of targets on my back.
11:48The judges panel all agreed on the fact that you know how to volley.
11:52And you're very quick, you're very funny, but your Bindi Irwin didn't have any of that.
11:57No.
11:58You had put yourself in sort of a box, but you can open it up far more than you actually
12:04have.
12:05Now, knowing this competition, did you have in your mind what you would do?
12:09I really loved the style thing, and I came prepared for that.
12:12I knew some silhouettes.
12:13I knew the shapes I could make.
12:14When I saw all this pink shit, I was like, well, that reminds me of my little niece.
12:19Welcome back, darling.
12:21Art has so much to prove this week.
12:23She's coming back into a competition full of girls that were happy to see her go,
12:26no matter how much they cried when she was eliminated.
12:29She better bring it, otherwise she will be sashaying away again.
12:33Calling Karen from finance.
12:35Hello.
12:36How are ya?
12:37You know how to sew?
12:38I'm not the world's bestseller, but-
12:40I need you to be the world's bestseller.
12:41Oh, goddammit, I will be!
12:45Alright, so now, is that supposed to be a pot cigarette?
12:48So glad that you recognized it.
12:49I've never smoked weed in my life before.
12:52Me neither.
12:54So what I want to do with this is create someone that's very well known in Australia.
12:59Do you know Chappelle Corby?
13:01Nope.
13:04I think very big risk doing someone like Chappelle Corby,
13:08where the only thing they have to reference is what you're wearing.
13:13Condolences on the shitty idea, yeah.
13:15Chappelle Corby, she's got a fabulous name.
13:18She tried smuggling all of this marijuana into Bali in her boogie board bag and got put in jail.
13:23I want to create the Chappelle Corby that made it into Bali.
13:26Okay.
13:28Now, this challenge was to create some gorgeous outfits, but you're adding a character to this.
13:34Yes, exactly.
13:34So you're just, you're making it just a little bit harder for yourself.
13:37Adding the character is what makes it easier and fun for me.
13:40I see.
13:41Can't wait to see you out there.
13:43Thank you, I can't wait to see you out there.
13:45I kind of knew that it was going to be a risk, but I don't have any other ideas.
13:50Ketamine, tell me about this.
13:52As soon as I saw that boat full of shit, these things spoke to me.
13:54What did they say?
13:55They said, Keta!
13:57You haven't won any challenges yet.
13:59No.
14:00Why do you think that is?
14:02I was getting in my head a little bit.
14:04How was your head?
14:05I haven't had any complaints.
14:07Oh good.
14:08No, actually, that's a fucking lie.
14:10I've had so many complaints.
14:11Too much tea, fuck!
14:16I'm going to let you go, but you know as an entertainer, if you're having fun, the audience
14:20will have fun.
14:21Lean into that.
14:22I can't wait to see what you come up with.
14:24Okay, thank you.
14:25Electra Shaw, come on over.
14:26Hello, Rue.
14:27Hello, darling.
14:28Now, do you know how to sew?
14:29I do know how to sew.
14:30I don't know how to style, but I know how to sew.
14:33And I wanted, actually, if I could pick your brain a bit more.
14:36I've sent two Aussie queens home.
14:39So I'm going to try and be the kangaroo hunter.
14:44The judges asked Electra to really step it up and show them a different glamorous side
14:48of it.
14:49And she thinks it's going to be a kangaroo hunter?
14:51The kangaroo hunter?
14:53Yeah.
14:53Is that anything like Bindi Irwin?
14:56I hope not.
14:58Look at her over there looking all sheepish.
15:01I want to have dead kangaroos hanging from my body.
15:05Ah.
15:06I don't like the way you react.
15:07No.
15:09I'm envisioning that.
15:10So, no, it sounds interesting.
15:12It sounds interesting.
15:17I don't want to throw you off the path at all.
15:21Style comes from knowing your own energy.
15:24Your body is perfect for clothes.
15:26Yeah.
15:26Make sure the clothes you wear complements your proportions.
15:29Do you ever just do glamour gowns and things like that?
15:32I would love to.
15:33It's not rocket science.
15:35Yeah.
15:35A monkey could style Nicole Kidman.
15:37Did I just say that?
15:40Thank you so much, Electra.
15:41We'll see you out there.
15:42I want to eat down.
15:43All right.
15:43All right.
15:43See you later.
15:44All right.
15:44Maxi Shield.
15:45I'm very familiar with that fabric.
15:47We call it the drag bag.
15:49I'm doing it because it's very heavy duty.
15:51Yeah.
15:51And my body is very heavy duty, Ruth.
15:53Yeah, but that has no stretch to it.
15:56I lean more to non-stretch fabric.
15:59I find a stretch fabric, I panic, and next thing, it's all wavy and yucky.
16:04I didn't go for those drag bags for a reason.
16:06They're really hard to work with.
16:08I don't know how this is going to turn out for Maxi.
16:11I want to, as we say in Australia, fair suck of the sav.
16:14Fair.
16:14Sucker.
16:15The.
16:16Sav.
16:16Sucker suck of the sav.
16:17And by sav, you mean cock, right?
16:22I love that.
16:23Consider it stolen.
16:24Good.
16:25Thank you, love.
16:26Et cetera, et cetera.
16:28Did you sew this already?
16:29I did, yeah.
16:30I wanted to kind of give a reference to kind of a goddess of the harvest.
16:35And I'm going to carry my little grapes down.
16:38Uh-huh.
16:39You haven't won any challenges yet.
16:40I have not.
16:41I have not won any challenges.
16:42I also haven't had the opportunity to get a critique.
16:46So I'm kind of sitting here being like,
16:48I know I'm not doing too much wrong, but am I doing anything right?
16:52Um.
16:53I want to be, like, impressing you every time.
16:56This is my last save.
16:58This is Drag Race.
16:59I'm really going to rev the engine.
17:01I'm ready to put my foot down.
17:02All right, I need to wiggle it.
17:03Come on over.
17:04Oh, don't drop anything.
17:06Oh, are you writing a ransom note?
17:08I certainly am.
17:09Please help.
17:11Now, I see a sort of Bob Mackie off the shoulder asymmetrical storyline going on there.
17:16I've actually found some really amazing materials in the trash.
17:19Some books and some old videotapes.
17:20Kind of like a media theme.
17:22Oh, a media theme, yeah.
17:23Yes.
17:23Do you know how to design clothes?
17:25Um, I love sewing, but, um, break every sewing machine I put my hands on.
17:29I'm really excited to start with the hot glue gun and really start seeing it come alive.
17:33Oh, so you went from sewing to hot glue gun.
17:36Yes.
17:37Is this going to be a hot glue concoction?
17:39No.
17:39Well, yes and no.
17:42Someone told me that you were in the Navy.
17:44I'm still in the Navy, yes.
17:45Like the village people?
17:46Absolutely like the village people.
17:47We actually used to do a routine to In the Navy.
17:50Is it a cute uniform?
17:51The uniform is so cute.
17:53The ladies get to wear little heels though, which I'm really jealous of.
17:57I'm actually in the Navy band and I play the trumpet.
18:04I always knew she was full of semen, sorry.
18:07Well, it's lovely talking to you.
18:08I cannot wait to see what you do.
18:11All right, Scarlett Adams.
18:12Hey, Ruth.
18:13Look, you have a whole buffet here.
18:14Yes.
18:15Now, you're a costume designer.
18:16Yes, I am.
18:17Do you think you're going to win this challenge?
18:19Well, I'm quietly confident.
18:20I'm getting a sort of a picnic storyline.
18:23For more like a vintage 1940s, 1950s silhouette.
18:26Yeah.
18:26Like a romantic French concept.
18:29Ooh.
18:30I feel good about my chat with Ruth.
18:32Everything that I'm saying, he's vibing weird.
18:34You know, last week, Elektra choreographed her group.
18:38The one thing that you did, which was you allowed everyone a little moment.
18:43What advice would you have for Elektra?
18:54I really didn't want to throw Elektra under the bus.
18:57Um.
18:59But the bus was running and she was standing in front of her.
19:04So I had to give her a little shove.
19:07There's so much more to performing than just doing the splits 20 times for me.
19:14And I felt like a lot of the time she was in the background pulling focus doing the splits.
19:18Okay.
19:21I think that's what the difference between our numbers were.
19:27We'll see you out there, darling.
19:29Thank you so much, Scarlet.
19:39I can feel the laser beams coming from across the room from Elektra's eyes.
19:44She is burning a hole in the side of my head.
19:48Scarlet.
19:49Yes, darling.
19:51I do have to defend myself a little bit.
19:53Go for it.
19:54I am well aware that there is more to dancing than doing the splits.
20:00She is not a dancer.
20:02She is a mover.
20:05Like what?
20:06Oh.
20:07I have worked with some big names.
20:09I've danced for J-Lo.
20:10I've danced for Sia.
20:11I've danced for Jessie J.
20:13Oh, you backup dance for some people?
20:15That's cute.
20:17I'm a good dancer.
20:18Mm-hmm.
20:19I'm well aware that there's more to drag than doing the splits.
20:23And I felt like you throwed me under the bus a little bit there.
20:26Okay, girl.
20:27Well, you can think what you want to think.
20:29But at the end of the day, you were in the bottom and I won the challenge.
20:36Okay.
20:36Well, we'll check the CVs at the end of the day, huh?
20:38Okie dokes, girl.
20:41If you want me to be a bitch, I'll be a fucking bitch.
20:44Welcome to The Electra Show.
20:52For the maxi challenge, we are turning trash to treasured.
20:56Does anyone have a hot glue gun plugged in at the moment?
20:59I just need one little squirt.
21:01I can give you a squirt, but not from a glue gun.
21:04I know there's some bitches in this room that can sew, but it's RuPaul's Drag Race.
21:08Anything can happen.
21:10How are you feeling you're going with your outfit?
21:12Does it look that shit?
21:15Done something wrong here?
21:18Yeah, it's not threaded properly.
21:20It probably doesn't help that I'm sewing plastic.
21:23There we go.
21:24Is it working?
21:24Yeah, stunning.
21:25See, Scarlett's lovely.
21:27She just must not like you, Electra.
21:36I've got a lot of detail in his outfit.
21:39He might have fit enough more than I can chew.
21:41Looking over at Anita working on her outfit.
21:43I have no idea what's going on.
21:44I'm gluing like a mad woman at the moment.
21:47I don't know if she's going to pull this together in time.
21:50Where is my spliff?
21:52Maybe Karen should be more worried too.
21:57You know what?
21:58If we spray painted you right now, you could be Buzz Lightyear.
22:00You just need the wings that pop out.
22:03Did anyone have a crush on Buzz Lightyear when they were younger?
22:08Anyone?
22:11What?
22:14How do you feel after your one-on-one?
22:15You've lost all your clothes.
22:16Lost all my clothes?
22:17You sacrificed so many poor innocent fluffy animals.
22:21I ripped up a lot of stuff.
22:22I let off a lot of anger.
22:23After speaking through Paul, he was sending me a message loud and clear.
22:27Give me something simple.
22:30What are you making?
22:32Garland giving a poke every now and then.
22:35You go tear each other's eyes out.
22:36I'm going to be over here.
22:37Hot gluing.
22:38Something in the universe.
22:39Just tell him to make an Australian mermaid gown.
22:41Not you, by any means.
22:42Because I've already established that your opinion does not matter for me.
22:44Okay.
22:48I am now on the back foot.
22:50I've wasted so much time working on this concept.
22:53I have to work fast.
22:55Because I'm going with more of a simple silhouette,
22:58I think I can get this together.
23:01Girl, this is your last chance to show them that you have tastes.
23:07That's tea mama.
23:18I have to come to a dumpster this time.
23:21Coming into the workroom today, I am feeling a little bit more confident.
23:24Sure, my outfit is not the best, but I know how to deliver a funny concept.
23:31Did anyone use any fabrics they think they're going to get read for?
23:34Mine's literally a book.
23:38With my outfit now, I think it looks really nice and I'm really proud of what I've made.
23:43I'm actually starting to feel really positive about myself.
23:46So, Anita, she's confident in what she's created.
23:50But I'm looking around the room and I think hers is potentially the worst outfit here.
23:57Art, are you happy with your look and being reintroduced onto the runway with what you've brought?
24:01I sure am.
24:02It's bright, it's colourful, it's playful.
24:04It's a bit more character based, which they seem to like as well.
24:07I know what it's locked to lose now and I also realise how fucking embarrassing it'll be to lose again.
24:12So, I've got a beautiful dress.
24:14I'm going to make it happen.
24:18Do you girls struggle with people say they'll see me out of drag somewhere and they'll get disappointed because they're
24:24expecting Art Simone?
24:26Yeah, and it's always like, why aren't you in drag?
24:28Why aren't you in drag?
24:29Oh my god, that is the worst thing.
24:30Oh, why aren't you in drag?
24:32It makes you feel like you're not good enough.
24:34Yeah, 100%.
24:34See, I get the opposite experience.
24:38Because I present femme in so many social settings, they just assume I'm in drag all the time.
24:43People are often like, why aren't you ever out as a boy?
24:46Or when I'm out, like, presenting more masculine, they're like, out of drag, you're such a sexy man.
24:51And I'd have to be like, well, I'm not a man.
24:54I use the gender marker non-binary because it's the closest to what describes how I feel.
24:59When I'm in drag, people are just like, she, her, that's fine, we understand what drag is.
25:04But the minute where I start moving outside of that, people get really, like, uncomfortable.
25:09So it is, it can get hard.
25:11People like to think of things as black and white, but there's so much grey.
25:15And when people put gender markers on me, literally, my mind has a reaction to it.
25:20Because I just don't see myself like that.
25:23I've gotten every reaction from being told that I'm like, I'm faking it because I'm not transitioning all the way
25:29to being told that, like, it's just a phase that I don't understand why you have to identify as non
25:34-binary, like, just make a decision.
25:38I'm sorry that you have to go through that, et cetera.
25:42I don't connect with all of my biological body.
25:45And there was a point in time where I thought I was binary trans in the sense that I would
25:49transition into living life as a woman.
25:53But that's not something for me either.
25:56I'm very appreciative in this competition and with all you girls how respectful and patient and kind you've been around
26:04my gender.
26:05Because that doesn't often happen.
26:06I just hate that that's even a thing that you have to, you feel you have to thank people for.
26:11Like, it's not even a conscious thought to, like, be like that around you, you know?
26:15People can be so nasty, can't they?
26:18I feel like people really look up to us as drag queens to stand up for ourselves and each other
26:23and say what's right.
26:24Well, I won't stop until the bones fall out of my body.
26:28Usually bones fall into your body.
26:30Wow.
26:35Main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, Michelle Visage.
26:40Now, would you say you're a thrifty queen?
26:43Ru, are you calling me cheap?
26:44No, I'm calling you a whore.
26:47On brand.
26:51Reece Nicholson, how would you describe your style?
26:54Oh, I think this week, southern lawyer with a secret.
26:58I do declare I'm a little Latin loafer.
27:01And by that I mean butt stuff.
27:04Honey, the secret is out.
27:07And the fabulous Elle's Carrot.
27:09Welcome to RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.
27:11Tell everyone about your latest movie.
27:13It's called Rurangi, and I play the lead, Kaz Davis, who is the young trans activist man who returns to
27:18his home after ten years to reconnect with his father.
27:21And it's fabulous and everyone should see it.
27:22Gorgeous.
27:24It's powerful and funny.
27:25I love it.
27:26This week we challenged our queens to ru-cycle up shop droppings and turn them into high fashion frockery.
27:35Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
27:42First up, Art Simone.
27:45Oh, and I see she's brought her biggest fan.
27:49I'm bringing you Let Them Eat Cake Cake Cake.
27:52Marie Antoinette realness.
27:54Let them eat us.
27:56Look, it's Little House on the Ferry.
28:00I'm sparkly.
28:01I've got my pink bits on show.
28:02I'm crashing the treasure.
28:03Well, I think it's fantasy fantastic.
28:05Yes.
28:06Up next, Kida Me.
28:08My outfit is made from elastic, table ties, umbrellas, ball pit balls, and a fucking sleeping bag.
28:15I wonder how many more balls she has inside of her.
28:17Serving you full Kida experience.
28:19And whoop, lo and behold, here comes the balls.
28:23Boop.
28:23Oh dear.
28:25She's a ball pit.
28:26Yes.
28:29Et cetera, et cetera.
28:32I'm bringing you 1920s loveliness.
28:36I've made these curtains look like a million dollars.
28:40She's queer, she's sheer, get used to it.
28:43I have my totem poles, the goddess of the sun.
28:46I want the spotlight.
28:47Where is it?
28:48I'm here, I'm serving.
28:50She's here to catch a dream, but she might catch a dick.
28:53She go catch something.
28:54Max is here.
28:57Anarchy.
28:58I'm serving you drag bag Vivian Westwood grunge punk.
29:06Oh my god.
29:08These bags have no stretch at all.
29:11But I feel great.
29:13Take it to the max.
29:15I think you mean the laundry max.
29:19Up next, Karen from finance.
29:23420 y'all.
29:24I am serving you Chappelle Corby in a parallel universe where she actually made it into Bali.
29:29Give me some of that.
29:31I've got a huge doobie, grass in my boogie board bag, and I am ready for the holiday of a
29:36lifetime.
29:36A grey barrier reefer.
29:39Up next, Electra Shark.
29:42I'm serving you just being fucked in the printing room.
29:45She can tie me up.
29:47I feel sexy as.
29:49I've never looked at myself in the mirror like that.
29:51As much as Scarlet's moaning in the mirror annoys me, I totally get it now.
29:55The whole time I was like, oh shit.
29:57You know, she bought that in Thailand.
30:02I need a wiglet.
30:03On the runway this evening, I am serving you a foot burning princess.
30:08Oh, she's been red so still.
30:12Writer's block, try prunes.
30:15I'm going up in flames.
30:16Read all about it.
30:18Somebody ream her.
30:22Up next, Scarlet Adams.
30:25Welcome to the stage, Margaret River.
30:28My costume is a cute little vintage picnic table ensemble.
30:33I feel like a girl who's about to get white wine wasted and have way too much breeches.
30:38Oh God, Scarlet, stop whining already.
30:41It is fitted to an inch of my body.
30:46I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror backstage.
30:49Gingham, but I barely know her.
30:54Cure queens.
30:56Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy.
30:58Now when I call your name, please step forward.
31:01Ketamine.
31:03Electra Shock.
31:05Electra.
31:06You're listening, and it shows.
31:08You look lovely.
31:09You are both safe.
31:11You may leave the stage.
31:16Ladies, you represent the tops and bottoms of the week.
31:18And now it's time for the judges' critiques.
31:20First up, Art Simone, welcome back.
31:23What a great comeback this is.
31:25I love the hair, I love the pink theme, the white makeup, the really thin eyebrow.
31:29Coming back with a strong look I think was important for you, and I think you achieved that tonight.
31:35When life gives you a second chance, child, this is what you do.
31:39Up next, et cetera, et cetera.
31:42The seam work on it is really pretty.
31:45I'm not really sure about the story that it tells.
31:46I know you have a thing in your hand.
31:48I don't know if you're a pope.
31:49Not quite sure what you are.
31:51I was really going for like a kind of a 1920s reference.
31:53There's a few illustrations where they carry like these staffs, and they're like goddesses of fertility and the sun.
31:59Feels like something is missing from it.
32:02Especially when you compare it to some of the other outfits on the stage.
32:05I could see the references, but somehow they just don't all come together for me.
32:10I love the ruched sleeves, but the bottom half feels a little rumpled and not defined enough.
32:17Up next, Maxi Shield.
32:19So we kind of gave you some critique and expecting you to step it up and take risks and start
32:25trusting yourself a little bit more.
32:26And you did it.
32:30I've tried to make something out of that before, and it's a nightmare.
32:33And this fit is perfect.
32:35You've styled it so well.
32:37Every aspect, even down to the shoes, they're the right shoes for this outfit.
32:42The silhouette is perfection.
32:44I'm feeling a little nostalgic, actually.
32:46I used to listen to a lot of grunge when I was a kid, and I just feel like you're
32:48really grungy.
32:49Like the tattoos and everything just goes really well together.
32:52I'm really proud of you.
32:53Keep pushing yourself like this.
32:55You've got it.
32:57Up next, Karen from Finance.
32:59One thing you're really good at, and everybody knows, is telling a story.
33:02Tonight seems like a bit of a pop-out.
33:06Now, Michelle, she is doing a pop culture character called Chevelle Corgi or something.
33:11What's her name?
33:11Chevelle Corbie.
33:12Who was arrested going into a valley with weed.
33:17You're so incredible at what you do, and every week trying to outdo it and outdo it and outdo it.
33:21Since I let down, it feels too strong, but this is a design challenge.
33:25You've relied more on the folklore of Chevelle than the actual constructing the outfit.
33:32Wherever you're going on holiday, I'll come with you.
33:35Because you look like fun to me.
33:38Up next, Anita Wiglet.
33:41There was kind of drama to it, and you gave us a little performance, like a character and a story
33:45the whole time.
33:46And I think that's tough to do with some ripped up pieces of a book.
33:50We have seen this a few times on Drag Race, and it was done better.
33:56The silhouette is great.
33:57It just seems like you ran out of time and you just started pasting things on there.
34:01I actually assumed it was burnt pages of Michelle's book, The Diva Rules.
34:08Hi, shady bitch.
34:10Scarlett Adams.
34:11You came around the corner, and we loved this.
34:14And I have to tell you, it's just glamorous and glamdiculous.
34:18That's what you are.
34:19That's what you are.
34:20It's never been said on this show before.
34:21Well, now it has.
34:22Keep doing it.
34:23It suits you.
34:24The silhouette and how it works on your body is beautiful.
34:28What makes this fresh is that it's shorts, and it's glamdiculous.
34:31Yes.
34:34All right. Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough. While you untuck backstage,
34:38the judges and I will deliberate. You may leave the stage.
34:46Here they are now.
34:49Do you have a cocktail? Cheers.
34:52That made me feel so fantastic. For me to make what I've made this week,
34:57it's such a fuck you moment.
35:00Elektra, I think this gown is probably my second favourite outfit here.
35:05I reckon you would have been in the top with slightly different styling.
35:09Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
35:11Karen, how are you feeling?
35:12This was a design challenge.
35:14Right.
35:15And I didn't design anything exciting.
35:19Yeah.
35:20I am feeling the judges' disappointment.
35:22I can see that they were expecting something more fabulous from me.
35:25I am so happy for you, Scarlett, but two weeks in a row,
35:28you've had a design challenge and a dance challenge,
35:30which is, of course you're doing well, you know?
35:32I'm so happy for you, but I'm ready for that comedy scripted acting challenge.
35:37This is the challenge I wanted to do well in.
35:39So to be doing well feels really validating.
35:44Well, Karen, I think you're probably definitely in the bottom.
35:47Oh, there's no doubt about it.
35:48And I think there's no doubt about the fact that I'm lip-syncing with Anita.
35:53I was really hoping it was going to go positively, and I had a little.
35:57It's so strange, isn't it?
35:58They kind of said they didn't hate my outfit, they didn't like it.
36:02I'm just going to have to do a good job in the lip-sync.
36:04And I thought Keita was definitely going to be in the bottom.
36:08Honestly, looking at your outfit and, like, looking at my outfit,
36:12I just don't understand how, like, you could be safe but I'm in the bottom.
36:15They called my outfit unfinished,
36:16but there's a rip down the back of your skirt,
36:18just as you were about to go on the runway.
36:20There's a rip down the back of my skirt?
36:21There's a rip down the back of your skirt.
36:22Thanks for letting me know.
36:25How can I be in the bottom this week
36:27when she's walking around looking like a fucking molecule?
36:30It's like she's designed something to cause me pain.
36:34I hit every mark on that runway and, yeah, I spat my toys.
36:40What the actual fuck?
36:45I'm going to take it off before it leaches bad taste into my brain.
36:49I just felt like they went in hard on me because I'm the fashion queen,
36:53but I thought I was elevating it by taking it to
36:55already quite a difficult-to-achieve aesthetic
36:57with what's in a fucking dumpster.
37:01I've had a full wee little tissy about being told
37:03that it's not, like, as what we expected.
37:05I've had that for the last three weeks.
37:07Shut the fuck up.
37:08Do you think a part of an issue for you at the moment
37:11is this is your first time to get anything?
37:13I've had three weeks of just being in the dark,
37:15so I guess I know what they want now
37:16and not to carry a fucking dream capture.
37:20I'm going to break that over my knee if I have to lip-sync.
37:24Talking the talk of being this fashion queen,
37:26I expected more from Etcetera, and I think the judges did, too.
37:31Now, just between us kangaroos, what do you reckon?
37:35Let's start with Art Simone, back from the Outback.
37:39I loved the makeup that she did with it.
37:41I love the skinny brows.
37:42Very Marie Antoinette.
37:44She kept the theme all the way through.
37:46It looked great.
37:47What more can you ask for in a design challenge?
37:49You know, a lot of times when we bring girls back,
37:51they get sent right back home again.
37:52It's like the curse of being brought back.
37:55I don't think that's going to happen to Art Simone.
37:57It'd be funny, though.
38:00Off with her head!
38:03Etcetera, etcetera.
38:04Etcetera looked very pretty tonight.
38:06The issues for me were I didn't really see any real structure to the bottom half of it
38:11and the makeup kind of stopping at her face, not coming all the way down.
38:14In that era, they would always bring the white down.
38:17She missed a beat on that.
38:19It wasn't finished in a way where you go, I want to see more of that.
38:23Was it pretty?
38:24Absolutely.
38:25Could she have done more?
38:26Yeah.
38:27Maxi Shield.
38:28Wow, wow, wow!
38:29She stepped out of her comfort zone.
38:30She wasn't just being camped.
38:31She was fashion tonight.
38:33She looked sexy.
38:34I thought it was really beautifully styled.
38:36Everything worked so well for Maxi Shield.
38:39Karen from Finance.
38:40So, Elsa, are you familiar with Chappelle Corby?
38:43I don't know what was going on.
38:44It was kind of like Dora the Explorer doing bad things.
38:48This is RuPaul's Drag Race, and if you're going to do Chappelle Corby, then you need
38:52to do a drag version.
38:54It felt like she was going to a costume party, not a drag show.
38:57A disappointing week for a very talented queen.
39:01Let's move on to Anita Wiglet.
39:03It looked like it took a lot of work to put that together, so I really appreciated the effort.
39:06I think the downfall was the fact that this is something we've seen many times.
39:10I don't know whether I'm just blinded by how much I love her energy.
39:13She could be in a sack, and she could just be silly.
39:16She's like, hey, I'm having a great time up here.
39:17I, too, am obsessed with that sort of manic smile that she does.
39:22Unfortunately, that doesn't help the outfit very much.
39:25The construction of it was really shoddy.
39:28Had she walked two steps faster, it would have fallen apart.
39:32Scarlett Adams.
39:33We knew exactly what she was selling when she came out here, and for me, the highlight were
39:38the shorts.
39:39Glamdiculous!
39:39The proportions of the outfit to her body, the placement of the grapes, wherever your
39:44eyes landed, there was something interesting about it.
39:47The first episode, I did not peg her to be this girl.
39:52No, I didn't peg her, period.
39:54You naughty, naughty boy.
39:57Silence!
39:57I've made my decision.
40:00Bring back my gethose.
40:02Welcome back, racers.
40:04I've made some decisions.
40:08Art Simone.
40:10Maxi Shield.
40:12Scarlett Adams.
40:16Scarlett Adams.
40:19Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.
40:25You've won a $2,500 gift card from Alia's Closet.
40:32Art Maxi Scarlett.
40:34You may join the other girls.
40:42Et cetera, et cetera.
40:45You're a beautiful queen, but this outfit could mean curtains for you.
40:52Karen from Vinax.
40:54You've given us some high highs, but this week, it could all go up in smoke.
41:02Anita Wigley, you are a real page turner, but it may be time to start a new chapter.
41:12Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
41:18You are safe.
41:24You may join the other girls.
41:34Karen, Anita, I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.
41:44Two queens stand before me.
41:49Now, I've consulted with the judges, but the final decision is mine to make.
41:56Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
42:09The time has come.
42:11Breathe your lip sync for your life.
42:16Good luck and don't fuck it up.
42:24I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins.
42:28I'm going to give them a reason to keep me in this competition.
42:32I'm going to pull every trick out of my camp bag and I'm just going to have fun with this.
42:39When I'm walking down the street, I call your name.
42:41Inside my head, I go insane.
42:43Don't you know that it's really making me crazy?
42:46There were days when I went completely blind.
42:48No time to think and I lost time.
42:50Won't believe what's happened to me lately.
42:53And I begin to wonder.
42:57Don't you know that we make me crazy?
42:59And I begin to wonder.
43:04Believe what's happened to me lately.
43:07Every day is the same day.
43:09Different faces, no names.
43:11Places I've never been before.
43:14Every day is the same day.
43:16Different faces, no names.
43:18Places I've never been before.
43:21Come on, guys!
43:26Let's go, girls!
43:28Every day is the same day.
43:30Different faces, no names.
43:32Places I've never been before.
43:36Walking down the street, I call your name
43:40All this time you led me astray
43:43Making love to you, I do the same
43:47And now I know you blinded me
43:51And now I begin to wonder
43:55And now I begin to wonder
44:02Every day I sit there, different faces
44:08No means, places I've never been before
44:12And every day I sit there, different faces
44:15No means, places I've never been before
44:19And now I begin to wonder
44:26Woo!
44:27Woo!
44:28Woo!

45:32Thank you so much
45:40Tell me, is it too early to talk about All-Stars?
45:51I'm really disappointed to be leaving at the halfway point
45:54The biggest thing that I'm going to take from this experience
45:56Is to be super proud of myself
45:58Because I have so much more self-confidence in myself
46:01And in my drag now
46:02And, uh, the world better watch out
46:06And remember, there's always time for
46:08Dry-ass pussy

46:15Thank you for the peace
46:23Congratulations, ladies
46:24And remember
46:25If you can't love yourself
46:27How in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
46:29Can I get an amen up in here?
46:31Amen!
46:31Alright, now let the music play
