00:02I'm Lazy Susan. I'm 32. I'm from Melbourne, Australia.
00:06Where is everyone? Hello?
00:09The name Lazy Susan comes from the ancient Greek
00:12to lie on a table and be turned around by several businessmen in a dark room.
00:22I think as soon as you give up on dignity, elegance, class,
00:28you become a much better drag queen.
00:32I don't mind being messy.
00:34Could have been an email, guys. Come on, let's sort it out.
00:43Watch your backs, ladies. Vibe's here to clean up the competition.
00:49My name is Vibe. I'm a 32-year-old drag queen from Sydney.
00:54As of last year, I am Sydney's most entertaining drag queen.
00:59Well, Entertainer of the Year and rising star.
01:02Strengths in Drag is a complete disregard for my own personal mental health.
01:07Try not to cause too much drama, but probably have in the past.
01:12Stunning!
01:12Hello, I love what you're looking for.
01:16Let me see this.
01:17Let me see you.
01:18When are they having the stone put in?
01:19It's in, you bastard.
01:21Lazy Susan, please take a seat.
01:23Oh, I'd love to.
01:24Do you see what they did to Rhys and Michelle?
01:26I have now realised that the one on the left is slightly taller than Hannah Condon.
01:31So, Mr Vibe, where are you from? What's the tea?
01:33Sydney queen through and through.
01:34You're a Sydney girl.
01:35Yes, yes.
01:36That explains the fucking month.
01:37How dare you.
01:38She's the Sydneyest Sydney bitch that ever did walk the earth.
01:41And by Sydney, I mean she looks like she's had recent dental work.
01:44She looks very clean and she has access to a shower.
01:47Who do you know? What's the vibe?
01:49Sydney's like a big but small city.
01:50I think we're all sisters. Everyone knows each other.
01:52Oh, bitch. We're all sisters.
01:53Yes, we're all sisters. Promise.
01:55Absolutely. No lies.
01:56Yeah.
02:05It's bussy.
02:12My name is Nikita Iman. I am 27 years old.
02:16I am someone born, South Auckland raised, but now based in Sydney.
02:20Nikita is a ballroom girl.
02:21I walked my first ball, won my first category.
02:23And ever since then, I've just been pulling in grand prizes through the ballroom scene.
02:29Nikita is going to bring the heat, the Polynesian flavour, the taste of the South Pacific.
02:33She is the reason for the season.
02:36I'm five.
02:37Mwah. Mwah. Mwah.
02:38Mwah. Mwah. Mwah.
02:39Mwah. Mwah.
02:40Mwah. Mwah.
02:40Lazy Susan.
02:41Lovely to meet you, Nikita.
02:43I think I fell a pearl sister.
02:44Yes, yes, yes.
02:45You love a good pearl necklace.
02:46I had enough on the heads.
02:47You look incredible.
02:48You look incredible.
02:49Oh, my God.
02:50Bravo.
02:52Sorry.
02:52And you.
02:53Oh, yes.
02:53And you.
02:54Where are you from?
02:55Where's home?
02:55I am currently based in Sydney.
02:59Do you two know each other?
03:00No.
03:02I see you out in Sydney quite a bit.
03:05I've been there just over a year, so I haven't really had a chance to break it through to
03:10the scene.
03:10I mean, the heels are very territorial.
03:15Oh, I hear heels.
03:20Wow.
03:20Looks like this little pig's made it all the way to drag race.
03:24Yes!
03:26She's got the nose for it.
03:29Hi, I'm Mandy Moves.
03:31I'm 33 from Brisbane.
03:34Mandy Moves is very much a mother figure.
03:37I'm also known as a bit of a pig.
03:39There is a bit of drag and a bit of kink in everything I do.
03:44I'm ready to show the world.
03:45I'm just here to ham it up, actually.
03:47Oh, you cheeky.
03:48I hope she's ready for the slaughter.
03:51Whereabouts are you from?
03:52I'm from Brisbane.
03:52Mac and Darlington.
03:54The second Brisbane girl to make it, so I'm very excited.
03:58I'm very excited to represent Brisbane once more and maybe do a bit better than Beverly.
04:02Giddy up, mother fucker.
04:04So I just have to win one challenge.
04:10So what have you got?
04:11Sydney, Melbourne.
04:12Where are you now?
04:13I'm in Sydney at the moment.
04:14So have you two worked together?
04:15No, no, no.
04:16I haven't really done drag in Sydney.
04:18Again, the girls are gatekeeping.
04:23Oh my God!
04:27Well, yes!
04:31Well, hi!
04:35I'm Max Drag Queen.
04:36I'm 24 years old and I am from Melbourne.
04:39I hope all the lip sync songs are balanced.
04:43Max Drag Queen is a performer through and through.
04:46I think that that is probably what I'm most known for in, I'm going to say Australia.
04:50Yeah, not just Melbourne.
04:51I think nationwide.
04:54Oh my God!
04:55How fucking dare you?
04:57How are you?
04:58I'm good.
04:58It's a fucking bitch.
05:00Yeah, good.
05:00Max.
05:01She is a quintessential Melbourne fixture.
05:05She is a circuit girl.
05:06She bops her little pussy all around town.
05:09She's fantastic.
05:10You're Isis's daughter.
05:12Yeah.
05:12Yeah!
05:13We brought her with us.
05:14We hung her on the wall.
05:15Something to remind me that she's young.
05:17She's always watching.
05:17She's always watching.
05:19So she's a dancing diva of Melbourne.
05:21Yes, honey.
05:21I'm not a dancing diva.
05:23I'm a diva that likes to dance.
05:24Aww.
05:25So we know you can perform.
05:27But what can't you do?
05:28Tell us what you're horrible at.
05:31Oh, bitch!
05:36I may be American, but that don't mean I can't get down with a good old sausage.
05:40Sizzle.
05:42Hi, I'm Freya Armani, 24, and I'm representing Brisbane, Queensland by way of USA.
05:49Freya Armani is attitude, drama.
05:52She's someone who is undesirable.
05:54All the boys want her.
05:55All the girls want to be her.
05:57And y'all aren't ready to see her.
06:01Hi, baby.
06:02Mwah, mwah.
06:02Freya, I love you to meet you.
06:03Nice to meet you.
06:04Hold up.
06:04You look so good.
06:05So where are we from?
06:06Where are we from?
06:07So I'm originally from Philly, but I've been living in Australia for like 13 years now.
06:12Where that's Australia from?
06:14Brisbane.
06:14Oh, okay.
06:15What are the people?
06:16Freya Armani is stiff competition.
06:19She is also a dancing diva.
06:21So I know what she can do in Brisbane, but in a competition, let's find out.
06:26Do you know everyone?
06:27I, I follow Max.
06:29I have heard of Lazy Susan.
06:30Vibe, I do know.
06:31I have never met you before.
06:33No, likewise.
06:33Where are you from?
06:34I grew up in South Auckland and now I'm based in Sydney.
06:37Do you do much drag in Sydney?
06:39No, I was just saying the girls are gatekeeping.
06:42I mean, they call it gatekeeping.
06:43We just call it being busy.
06:45Nikita.
06:46A fellow Sydney sister I've never heard of.
06:48I haven't actually seen her do anything in the Sydney drag scene.
06:52So if that's gatekeeping, honey, well I'll keep the gate closed.
06:55Cause at the end of the day, like put the work in.
06:59Dreams may be free, but I'm certainly not.
07:04How much?
07:05Four dollars.
07:08Kia ora everyone.
07:09My name is Olivia Dreams.
07:11I am 26 and I am from Te Whanganui Atara, Wellington, New Zealand.
07:16I am the first Wellington Queen ever to step foot on Drag Race Down Under.
07:22And I'm here to represent.
07:25Are you our first New Zealand Queen in the room?
07:27Oh, excuse me.
07:29Yeah, but you flew from Sydney, didn't you?
07:31Well, there you go, there you go.
07:34I'm the first Queen from Wellington.
07:36Yay!
07:38No pressure for me, no pressure for me.
07:40But excited to be here with all of y'all.
07:42I definitely do feel the pressure of being the first Wellington Queen here.
07:46Being the baby Queen, people won't expect me to be the first, but here I am.
07:49And they can just suck it.
07:52How long have you been doing drag for?
07:54I've been doing drag for about, ooh, three years now.
07:56Three years.
07:57Baby.
07:57I started post-COVID.
07:59Post-COVID.
07:59Post-COVID.
08:00Wait, how long has COVID?
08:02Here?
08:03Ooh.
08:03And then I didn't actually hit the stage for like a few months after that.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Did it hit back?
08:07Yeah.
08:09It did hit back, girl.
08:10It hit back hard.
08:16Blessed are the breasts, and the breasts is best.
08:23Hi, my name is Brenda Brest.
08:25I am 24 years old, and I am from Melbourne.
08:29Brenda Brest is buxom, beautiful, larger than life, and she is going to bring all the laughs.
08:36She's going to have you cacklin'.
08:38So you're from Melbourne?
08:39I'm from Melbourne, yeah.
08:41Girl, I ain't never-
08:41Girl, I know you.
08:42She doesn't know me.
08:44It's true.
08:45What do you do?
08:48I'm a singer.
08:49That's my thing, yeah.
08:51I've got a musical theatre background.
08:52A lot of people confuse me as a fashion queen.
08:54Name them.
08:55Name them!
08:57A lot of people that don't have very good vision, actually.
09:03What's two plus two?
09:05Foreskin.
09:07All right.
09:08What?
09:09I am Karna Ford.
09:11I am 27 years old, and I am from Sydney.
09:15Karna is Sydney's Filipina dancing diva.
09:18I think once people see me, people are going to be very threatened.
09:23What's my outfit?
09:27Absolute!
09:28All right!
09:30All right!
09:30All right!
09:33Karna's another one of our dancing queens, bitch.
09:35It's too many dancing divas in one place.
09:39Karna Ford.
09:41Karna is to Sydney what Max Drag Queen is to Melbourne.
09:44She's a dancing diva that, like, knows her body.
09:47She knows how to move.
09:48She knows how to perform.
09:49I'd say she's well-known.
09:51I know her.
09:54Didn't you just win a competition in Sydney?
09:55I did win a competition.
09:57How did you win?
09:57Yeah, so you can call me Canna Ford now because I just won $10,000.
10:04Girl, can you not afford an entrance look?
10:06I think I saw, like, ten rhinestones.
10:08She had to pay some overdue bills that ate up that $10,000.
10:12But fab queen, though.
10:14Really fab queen.
10:15Do you know everyone?
10:16I know mostly of everyone through socials.
10:18I know you, obviously.
10:19Um, The Voice.
10:21Yes!
10:24At least someone here knew.
10:26I know you, but I didn't realize you did drag.
10:30She doesn't.
10:39She looks so tall.
10:41She's that giant bitch.
10:47She is tall.
10:51I may not have a cunt, but I sure can be one.
10:55What's up, bitches?
10:56I'm Lucina Innocence.
10:58I'm 28, and I'm from Auckland, New Zealand.
11:01I'm gonna bring a lot to this competition.
11:03I'm gonna bring an actually polished mug, some stunning hair, sickening outfits.
11:09And the rest you have to wait and see.
11:11Hey!
11:13How tall are you?
11:15Uh, I'm, like, four foot two.
11:18At the knee.
11:20So you like a leather queen?
11:21I'm a lot of things.
11:23You just have to wait and find out.
11:24Oh!
11:25Did you make this one?
11:28No.
11:30Do you sew?
11:32Sort of.
11:34What do you do?
11:35What do you do?
11:35Yes, I'm a wig stylist.
11:38Oh!
11:38You made this wig as well?
11:39Yes.
11:39Oh!
11:41So you ran out of time?
11:49That lung goes off, and my arsehole just falls out of myself.
11:53I was like...
11:54It's finally happening, we're gonna watch through on the telly.
11:59Hello, hello, hello!
12:01Yay!
12:02My queens, it's been my great honor to bring Drag Race to Australasia.
12:08But now, it's time to double down on Down Under.
12:12Starting this season, for the first time in herstory,
12:15Down Under Queens will be judging and mentoring Down Under Queens.
12:21Including Drag Race superstars, Isis Avis Loren, Keita Mean, Spanky Jackson, and many more.
12:29Oh!
12:30I've always wanted to meet Spanky Jackson.
12:34I just think she's the most iconic winner.
12:37I fucking love her.
12:38And last, but not least, it's my pleasure to introduce the new host of Drag Race Down Under.
12:46My best Judy, and a drag queen's best friend, Michelle Visage.
12:52Yay!
12:53Hello, hello, hello!
13:00Welcome queens, you've made it!
13:03Michelle just feels like everybody's mom, so I just feel like we're in such safe hands.
13:07I'm excited to see Michelle, like, tell everybody else to be silent now.
13:11It's like a promotion.
13:14Now, your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent is about to be probed, and stretched, and tested like never before.
13:25But, in the end, the last queen standing will be crowned Down Under's next Drag Race superstar.
13:32Oh!
13:33And we'll walk away with a one-year supply of cosmetics from Anastasia Beverly Hills.
13:40Oh, yeah!
13:42Plus, a cash prize of $50,000!
13:49It does feel real now. The game has started. The competition's on.
13:52Hashtag Drag Race Down Under.
13:56Now, like Mama Ru says, this season we are doubling down on Down Under.
14:01And that starts with your very first maxi challenge.
14:06Tomorrow, for your main stage double debut, you need to serve not one, but two looks.
14:15First category is double-dressing.
14:18Each of you must present a two-in-one reveal showcasing two dramatically different looks.
14:25And the second category is double-dipping.
14:30As you know, prior to your arrival, you were randomly assigned a color and asked to present a show-stopping
14:37look for the runway.
14:38But what you don't know is that we doubled up on the colors.
14:45That means two of you will be wearing red, two in gold, two in orange, two in purple, and two
14:52in blue.
14:52And on the runway, you'll be walking together with your color buddy.
14:57And the judges will decide which queen wore it better.
15:01Oh!
15:03I am a bit shook that we are being compared directly to one other queen.
15:10It is daunting because we've only brought what we've brought.
15:13If it's not good enough, there's not much we can do about it now.
15:17And last but definitely not least, tomorrow, joining Reese Nicholson and me on the judges panel,
15:25will be Down Under's reigning drag race superstar, Isis Avis Lorenz.
15:33It's a gag, like week one, but hey, it'd be better to judge us than the literal best.
15:38And our extra special guest judge has come to us all the way from the United States of America,
15:45the goddess herself...
15:50Sasha Cole!
15:51Oh!
15:54Oh!
15:56Oh!
15:58Oh!
15:58Oh!
16:01Hello girl!
16:02Oh my God!
16:04Oh my God!
16:05Oh, darling!
16:06In front of Michelle as well!
16:07How embarrassing!
16:09Oh!
16:12Now, let's say this last part together.
16:14Racers, start your engines and make the best drag queen win!
16:29Everybody grabs their bags and it is like, it's just chaos.
16:33Whee!
16:34Come on, drag race!
16:37Mike!
16:41Oh my gosh, Brenda! Brenda, could you just move this over there? Thank you.
16:46How much are you willing to pay?
16:48Not a lot, but thank you!
16:54Everyone's getting out of drag.
16:58The first thing that sticks out to me is Lazy Susan's wet face.
17:02She's taking off that makeup like nothing I've ever seen before.
17:08I'm kinda scared.
17:09And it makes me question if I pick the right station, which is right next to her.
17:15Don't!
17:19I'm excited to see Nikita out of drag.
17:21Oh my gosh!
17:22Yeah.
17:22What a beautiful young lady!
17:24Yeah, I'm seeing the muscles and I'm like, ooh!
17:27The girls were looking, so I'm pretty sure I'm the trend of the season.
17:32Oh, stop that.
17:34Ha ha ha!
17:40So, looking around the workroom, I think the biggest transformation in terms of drag to boy
17:45would definitely have to be...
17:50Vibe.
17:50Who are you looking for?
17:51Vibe?
17:52Yeah.
17:52You look so different, oh my goodness!
17:55She's just this big old man.
17:59But I love it.
18:05I love it.
18:05Tell me.
18:05Yeah.
18:06What do you think about the other girls?
18:10Um...
18:10Spilling your stick.
18:12Go on, be honest.
18:14I just feel like maybe some of the entrance looks could have been a little bit more creative,
18:19something outside of the butt.
18:20What do you mean?
18:21Your fucking costume fell apart.
18:30I think the vibe of today is, it's a bit uncertain.
18:34I think everyone's still sizing each other up.
18:36Like, none of us have done the runway yet.
18:38None of us have had the chance to see, not only, like, what we bought, but how we carry it.
18:43Ladies!
18:45Is anyone nervous about who they're going to get paired with colour-wise?
18:48Should I be?
18:49I've got 15 years experience behind me.
18:51I've made all my looks for this season.
18:53This is what I do back home.
18:55I'm known as the seamstress.
18:56So, good luck to everyone else.
18:59I've got blue.
19:04I've got blue.
19:05I've got blue.
19:06Okay, fine.
19:06Yay!
19:08Your guys' drag aesthetics is, like, very opposite.
19:12Lucina, first impressions is, she is very much just a quiet one.
19:17Being first wig, you've just got to make quite an impact on this runway, and I'm worried for her.
19:23I'm not worried.
19:24I am not worried either.
19:26You're very quietly confident, babe.
19:28Do you wear a lot of blue?
19:29Like, do you like that colour?
19:30No.
19:32Blue isn't a colour I typically go for.
19:34More of a pink girl or a black girl.
19:39Sometimes I'm right.
19:40Cancel.
19:42Wait, what's last?
19:44Orange.
19:51I was nervous when I was like 12.
19:54Okay, okay.
19:55I see this thing.
19:57Of course, the only queen in the room that had something to say about my sort of position in the
20:03drag scene is, of course, the queen that I'm paired with first.
20:05I'm going to be serving Mary Nikita everybody, femme queen essence, just steps off the beach.
20:13I'm hearing swimsuit.
20:17Even though I'm paired with Nikita, I know the drag that I do is the drag that I do, and
20:22the drag that she's learning to do is the drag that she's learning to do.
20:24So you're saying your orange look is out of the box?
20:27It's fun.
20:28It's very camp.
20:29I'm very confident in my colour look.
20:32Somebody's going home tomorrow, and no, it won't be me.
20:44Top 10!
20:46Woo!
20:47It's a new day in the workroom, and it's elimination day.
20:51How's everyone feeling today?
20:53First runway day, someone's going home.
20:56I think we're all shitting ourselves a little bit.
20:58I know I am.
20:59I'm hoping that the presentation will speak for itself.
21:02I'm feeling quite confident.
21:04I'm especially excited to show everyone what I've got, and I'm excited to see who the real competition is.
21:12Nikita, you should write more pearls.
21:14I do, I do, I do.
21:15Vibe.
21:16I'll tread carefully, I'll tread carefully.
21:19How are you feeling going up against a seamstress extraordinaire like Mandy?
21:23Well...
21:25No, tell me, go on, tell me.
21:27She wants to hear it.
21:28I'm not familiar with her work.
21:32I just love Lucina's quiet confidence, she's just like...
21:34I don't know if I'm convinced, but she's planting the seed of something that's making me go...
21:39Maybe she's just a dark horse.
21:41She could be hiding a big secret.
21:43Or she just could be fucking boring.
21:47We shall see.
21:49Enough talking, it's time to get ready for the runway, girls.
21:52First runway!
22:00I'm very confident with what I'm going to bring today.
22:03Walking around with Vibe, I have a vision.
22:06I think I just have to make sure that she's not getting in my way, because Vibe is not going
22:10to get in between me and getting my moment.
22:14Vibe, sister.
22:14Yes, ma'am.
22:15I just want to talk about our runway and what we're doing, because obviously we're walking down together.
22:19Yes, absolutely.
22:20So I've got a fella that I'm going to walk out and then lie down.
22:26I could walk out first.
22:28Do my moment as a fan.
22:30You walk down, I give you your 10s.
22:33And then if you pull me up and then we can do our little mints back and forth.
22:36I guess you could say that Nikita and I had a little bit of tension on day one, but I'm
22:41comfortable and confident in what I can do.
22:43And if part of me can help alleviate some concern from someone I'm working with in this challenge, then I'll
22:49do whatever I can to sort of make that an easier day for us all.
22:52We'll do a little run through soon.
22:53I know.
22:54Yes, bitch.
22:55Give me production.
22:56Yes, honey.
22:56Because that's what War Room does is we bring production.
22:58Oh, and honey, I've been doing production.
23:01Let's be for real.
23:03I'm going to give it on that runway, and if anything, I'm going to make her look good too.
23:07So you're welcome, bitch.
23:10Who was that man?
23:11I'm still learning who's everyone's name.
23:13I've never seen him before in my life.
23:19I can't believe we're being judged by Sasha Colby today.
23:21I know.
23:21That's crazy.
23:22And Isis.
23:24Do you have any other feelings towards that?
23:26I feel like I have more to, like, live up to.
23:29Yeah, more to prove.
23:30To be representing the dynasty of Miss Avis Loren.
23:34I'm trying to not let the pressure of how she's done in the competition affect how I'm going to do,
23:41because we are different people, and I really want to make sure that I create my own path.
23:46Who do we think could be in the bottom this week?
23:48Just off entrance looks alone.
23:50Just off entrance looks, I think that Nikita's was my least favorite.
23:55Really?
23:56Yeah.
23:57It just looks like it was beads stuck to a bra.
24:01Lucina, what do you think?
24:04It's a little bit awkward, because my least favorite entrance look is the person asking me that question.
24:14Lucina?
24:15Yeah.
24:17I kind of don't know what else to say, so I just say nothing.
24:20I guess we'll have to wait and see.
24:21Yeah.
24:24Yeah.
24:24Don't.
24:25Don't, don't, don't.
24:25Welcome to the main stage of Drag Race Down Under.
24:29What better way to double down than to bring back our reigning queen, Isis Avis Loren.
24:34Hi, Michelle.
24:36Uh, if you're the new Rue, does that make me the new Michelle?
24:39Hmm, yes it does.
24:40Just don't be such a bitch.
24:42Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
24:44Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
24:46And speaking of doggy style, it's Reese Nicholson.
24:49Hey!
24:51Oh, RuPaul, it's so good to be back for another season.
24:54But I gotta say, there's something different about you.
24:56Oh, what is it?
24:57Your boobs are gone and your tuck got media.
25:00Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:01And we are double delighted to welcome the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15, Sasha Colby.
25:11Michelle, I am thrilled to be your first extra special guest judge.
25:17Extra thrilled to have you here, baby.
25:19This week, we challenged our queens to wow us with two looks.
25:24Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
25:29Cause you're a star, baby.
25:33Category is double dressin'.
25:36First up, Mandy Moves.
25:39Stepping out on the runway for the first time, I'm feeling my fantasy.
25:42I'm presenting as red curtains.
25:45And then, bam, a nice gorgeous silver gown.
25:49I feel glamorous, I feel gorgeous, and the judges are just eating it up.
25:54You know, people say stuff about Pauline Hanson, but she looks great.
25:58Up next, Lucina Innocence.
26:02Mmm, smell her gold finger.
26:05Reminds me, I need to take a shower.
26:07On the runway, I am feeling my gorgeous alien fantasy.
26:11What's happening?
26:12Oh, she's a whore.
26:13I'm sparkling from hip to toe.
26:16I'm a peachy little hoe.
26:17Everything's sitting right, and the judges know that I'm tight.
26:21I don't know why I keep rhyming.
26:23Oh, she carries her weight on her nipples.
26:26Up next, Karna Ford.
26:29Karna Hall?
26:31Stepping out onto the stage for the first time, I am feeling so confident.
26:35I'm Grace Jones, serving you all the looks, and boom, I am a superhero.
26:40This character that I am putting on is very fierce.
26:42It's very me.
26:43It's very what I want to show to the judges and to the world.
26:46I love a flat top.
26:48I love any kind of top.
26:50Up next, Brenda Breast.
26:53She is breast and highly favored.
26:56I am going from beautiful evening gown, and I pull out my pin so seductively, and the dress
27:05melts away and out steps this showgirl.
27:09Oh, I feel beautiful.
27:12She's too breast to be stressed.
27:14Rest in peace.
27:16Up next, Freya Armani.
27:19March of the penguins.
27:20For my double dressing look, I want to show two very different sides to Freya.
27:24I can go big, I can go camp, and then I reveal to this gorgeous, glimmering, glamorous red carpet look.
27:31Oh, you think I'm pretty?
27:32Thank you so much.
27:32Oh, I'll pose like this.
27:34You like that?
27:34Ooh, dress for success.
27:37Isn't she peachy?
27:38She's got no tucks left to give.
27:40Up next, Max Drag Queen.
27:45Look at Bindi.
27:47I feel so cute walking down the runway, and I just burst into the beautiful crocodile that
27:54is underneath.
27:55I'm looking the judges directly in the eye.
27:57I'm giving a little wink to Isis.
27:59She is chomping down that runway.
28:03See you later, alligator.
28:06Next up, Olivia Dreams.
28:09I think she's expecting rain.
28:10This is my moment to shine.
28:12I am an explorer deep in the jungle, looking for a cheetah, and what's this?
28:17Oh, I am the cheetah that I've been looking for.
28:20Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
28:22I'm serving you face and serving you tail.
28:26Hey, buddy, my pussy's down here.
28:29Next up, Lazy Susan.
28:32I'm walking out onto the main stage for the very first time, and this fucking look is it.
28:39Ah!
28:41Two-faced bitch.
28:42Oh, she must be a Gemini.
28:44On the runway today, we are serving the duality of Lazy Susan.
28:48A beautiful girl and a wretched piece of shit.
28:53Not separated at birth.
28:55What?
28:56Separated at face.
28:59Next up, Nikita Iman.
29:01Stepping out into the runway, it is your hensisifafafingi, all the way from the kiki house of Iman, Nikita Iman.
29:11Oh!
29:12She is giving you Polynesian beauty, Samoan royalty from head to toe.
29:20I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your dress down.
29:24I'll just blow you.
29:25Oh!
29:26Up next, vibe.
29:29You pet'll believe it.
29:31As I'm walking down the runway, I am feeling good.
29:33For the reveal, I wanted a little bit of, like, an American beauty moment.
29:36Like, I wanted to be naked, gorgeous, lying in a bed of roses.
29:40She's running prolapse around the other contestant.
29:44Did not even for one second think, Rosebud.
29:49Any hole is a goal, but this is ridiculous.
29:53Category is Double Dippin'.
29:56First up, in blue, Mandy Moves and Lucina Innocence.
30:02Oh, they blew it.
30:04They blew it.
30:04So, I'm walking down the runway in my blue gown, and it is like no one else is there.
30:11Hitting the runway, I am feeling my cyberpunk rock chick fantasy.
30:16I'm giving you mullet, I'm giving you spikes, I'm giving you sparkle.
30:19I love her tribute to David Bluey.
30:21Okay.
30:22Mandy is giving a classic sequined fantasy.
30:25This look is bluer than your waffle.
30:27You need to get chicked out.
30:28I like Lucina, but she's not even there in my eyes.
30:33I'm feeling the presence, I'm feeling the magic, and I'm in the moment.
30:37Hey, are either one of you in the Navy?
30:39Actually swimming.
30:42Up next in red, Karna Ford and Brenda Breast.
30:46Well, I guess they read the memo.
30:48So, it's time for Double Dippin', and I'm feeling absolutely beautiful.
30:52I've got red, I've got a black ruffle trim, I've got red thigh-high boots that go all the
30:58way up, right to where you want to see.
31:00I'm feeling so confident in this look.
31:02I'm trying to be spooky, I'm trying to be seductive, I'm trying to be creepy.
31:07I'm no longer Karna Ford on this runway.
31:08I am Karna Ford, because I'm going to eat every bitch up.
31:13Brenda is serving something completely different to me, and it's not something that I would wear.
31:19She's trying to scare me as we're walking down the stage, but then I'm clocking her straight
31:22away being like, I ain't scared of you, bitch.
31:25Honey, you've been red, and left on red.
31:29Red for filth.
31:31Up next in gold, Freya Armani and Max Drag Queen.
31:35Stepping out the runway with Max Drag Queen, I am serving powerful feminine diva.
31:41Lesbians!
31:43Gladiator?
31:44I don't even know her!
31:45I'm serving goddess warrior in all gold.
31:49I feel like I'm absolutely dripping about it.
31:51It feels glorious.
31:54Max and I are both serving gold corsets with trains.
31:58However, I think mine's a little bigger.
32:00I think Freya and I are absolutely serving two of the strongest looks tonight.
32:07A pair of gold star gays.
32:10Up next in purple, Olivia Dreams and Lazy Susan.
32:15On the runway today, I am serving a woman with a very rare skin condition going shopping for the very
32:21first time.
32:22Return to the Love Canal.
32:23Lazy Susan style.
32:25A floral skin condition that won't quit.
32:27Somebody likes to give floral.
32:29On the runway, I'm serving you a lupin flower found in the South Island of New Zealand.
32:35I'm feeling absolutely beautiful.
32:37I love this dress so much.
32:39And I feel like I'm giving you everything.
32:42Olivia today is what happens when a single mum pops a barbie into a cake and goes like this.
32:50I underestimated, Lady Susan.
32:52I really did.
32:53For us to do the same concept, mind-blowing.
32:57Florals.
32:57The spring.
32:59Groundbreaking.
33:02Next up in orange, Nikita Iman and Vibe.
33:07Fanciest light?
33:08Stepping out into the runway, I'm giving you feminine essence, body underneath the sun.
33:14It is crocheted up to my neck.
33:17I feel really, really sexy.
33:18I wanted to give you a little pulp-free experience.
33:22You know, it's orange.
33:23I start my day every morning with a glass of orange juice.
33:26But I thought, it's the main stage, so let's make that an orange cocktail.
33:29Fresh squeezed.
33:31I do want to showcase my sister, but I just want to make sure that her little orange witch is
33:36not getting in my way.
33:37Because, you know, I bet she will push her bitch off the runway if she needs to.
33:40So, I just don't know if what Nikita is presenting is anything more than a swimsuit.
33:48Macra, may you stay.
33:50Vitamin C.
33:54Kiota Queen.
33:55Kiota.
33:56Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy.
33:58Hoi, hoi, hoi.
34:00This week, no one is safe.
34:05The judges will critique all ten of you in your color pairs.
34:11Olivia Dreams, Lazy Susan, Nikita Iman, Vibe.
34:16Please step to the back of the stage.
34:18We'll be with you in a moment.
34:20Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
34:23Up first are Blue Girls.
34:25Mandy Moves and Lucina Innocence.
34:28Mandy, you look wonderful tonight.
34:29I really enjoyed your energy on the stage, which really translated into this second look.
34:34You really worked that cape like no one else's business.
34:38It was gorgeous.
34:38Lucina, darling, your double dressing was very pretty.
34:42I didn't think the reveal, though, was big enough.
34:45And you did seem a little bit timid on the runway.
34:47Hi, Mandy.
34:48For me, the reveal seemed ill-fitting, the dress.
34:51It was a little bit of like a gathering.
34:54But for me, this look does it.
34:57The fit is great.
34:57Love the hair and everything.
34:59Lucina, for me, your first look wasn't particularly a big enough reveal for me.
35:04And this cheating it with like a wider belt would have helped bring that a little more in so it
35:08wouldn't seem boxy, which you are not.
35:12Mandy, your double dressing look, I thought it was really, really fun.
35:16You know, the brief was a drastic reveal.
35:18You gave me a drastic reveal.
35:22Lucina, the truth of the matter is there was no reveal.
35:26When you're on the main stage here, you've got to really amp it up.
35:29So for me tonight, who wore it better was Mandy.
35:33I do think that Mandy wore it better.
35:35She definitely sold the garment more.
35:37Out of the two of you, I think Mandy did wear it better.
35:40For me, who wore it better would be Mandy.
35:44Next up, our red pair, Karna Ford and Brenda Brest.
35:49Hi, Karna.
35:50I loved your first look.
35:51I thought, you know, you came out there with this kind of like Grace Jones kind of vibe going on.
35:55This look tonight, if we're starting with the feet and we're moving up, it keeps making so much sense.
36:00And then it gets to the top and there's a kind of disconnection between the two.
36:05I don't quite understand what they're doing together.
36:07Karna, may I ask, is this headpiece you're wearing, is it of cultural significance or anything?
36:12No, it's just, it's based off the demogorgon.
36:15Okay, great, great.
36:16Okay, we love that.
36:17I love the idea that the animal from Stranger Things might be doing some sex work on the side.
36:22That's exciting to me.
36:24Tough times.
36:26Brenda, I love the reveal.
36:28The second look, I know your brand, I know who you are.
36:31Great job.
36:32Karna, your nod to Stranger Things is really fun.
36:36But there is a disconnect.
36:38They're telling two different stories.
36:39It is a beautiful outfit.
36:41It just, you've got this violent head.
36:44Nothing wrong with violent head.
36:46No, no, no, we love it.
36:48Brenda.
36:49Now, you gave us best little whorehouse in Auckland.
36:51I was here for that.
36:52And I'm not one to shy away from an accessoire.
36:55But you always want to open yourself up.
36:57So even just losing the necklace would have been enough.
37:00For me, who wore it better this evening?
37:02I'm going to say Brenda.
37:04For the red girls, I do think Brenda wore it better.
37:07Brenda wore it better.
37:09For me, who wore it better would be Brenda.
37:13Up next are golden girls, Freya Armani and Max, Drag Queen.
37:19Freya, darling.
37:20Tonight's look is just regal as anything.
37:23I adore it.
37:24Max.
37:25Hi, Mum.
37:27This look tonight is really fun.
37:30It's gorgeous.
37:31The drapery is wonderful.
37:31You look stunning.
37:33Hi, Freya.
37:34The reveal was great.
37:35I love the mask into femme.
37:36The idea is great, but the execution could have been a little more tight.
37:40As far as this look, I love it.
37:42Max.
37:43I love, like, the big, wide leg pants.
37:46It's giving fashion.
37:47You made it very chic.
37:48This shows it as well.
37:50But you managed to make a complete picture for me, and that's what I really love.
37:54Freya.
37:56So, double dressing.
37:57Listen, I think what I loved most about it was your performance.
38:00You were selling it.
38:02You just were in that moment, and I thought it was really, really sweet.
38:05And this double dipping is absolutely gorgeous.
38:08Max really loved the crocodile situation.
38:11I thought it was so fun.
38:13Your gladiator in gold is just stunning.
38:16My one critique to you is be in control of what you're wearing.
38:19Don't let the clothes wear you.
38:20Who wore it better tonight?
38:21I'm going to go with Freya, because I loved your confidence.
38:25That's what it's about.
38:27If I could choose between the two of you, I actually don't think I could.
38:30So, it's a tie for you?
38:31It's a tie for me, for the golden girls.
38:33Let's go for gold, baby.
38:35Who wore it better?
38:36I'm going to have to go with Max.
38:39For me, who wore it better would be Max.
38:43Up next, Olivia Dreams and Lazy Susan.
38:46Hi, Olivia.
38:47Tonight, you do seem a little bit nervous.
38:49I do wish that your reveal was just a little longer.
38:53You sort of just took it off and threw it away.
38:54Tonight, it's a beautiful dress, but it's just swallowing you at the moment.
38:59Lazy Susan, your reveal look, it was incredible.
39:04Something you've done tonight is you've done two completely different looks
39:07that had no connection to each other, but you've told us exactly who you are.
39:11Congratulations.
39:11A really strong first two looks from you.
39:14Olivia Dreams.
39:15This look looks beautiful, to be honest.
39:18It looks like you ordered it.
39:20Honey, I'm an Amazon queen.
39:21You have no idea.
39:22But, like, you take it to a seamstress.
39:24It was wearing you a bit.
39:25Lazy Susan, nothing is lazy about your drag.
39:28This look, I'm obsessed with.
39:31What came first?
39:32What was the idea?
39:33I'm ripping for a boy from Sunshine called La Berry.
39:36I just want to, like, preserve you in, like, this little, like, box.
39:40Olivia Dreams.
39:41A reveal is not a jacket taking off to a dress.
39:45It's just not.
39:45That's not a reveal that's taking your jacket off.
39:47And I thought it was a wasted opportunity.
39:49Now, this color is beautiful on you.
39:52But if you're wearing a boned corset, you should not be able to breathe.
39:56Just give us drag, right?
39:58And you are a beautiful queen.
39:59You have a presence on stage.
40:01So you have it.
40:02Work it.
40:04Lazy Susan.
40:05What I love about seeing your drag, just for the first time,
40:09I already feel like you're letting us into your demented mind.
40:12I was lucky enough to be a club kid who got to spend time with Lee Bowery.
40:15And it was amazing because that's where I met Rue.
40:17And you brought Lee's magic here tonight.
40:20It's iconic.
40:21Who wore it better for me?
40:22I am going to go with Lazy Susan.
40:26Who wore it best?
40:27I would definitely say Lazy Susan.
40:30I'm going to have to say Lazy Susan.
40:32For me, who wore it better would be Lazy Susan.
40:36Aren't you glad we saved you for last?
40:38Yes.
40:39It's Nikita Iman and Vibe.
40:43Nikita, seeing you walk down the runway in your double dress and look,
40:45it was very clear that we were seeing something very important to you.
40:48This tonight, I love this.
40:50I don't know who this lady is, but I want to hang out with her.
40:53I reckon Michelle did hang out with her in like 1993.
40:57I mean, this was me.
40:58Who am I kidding?
40:59It still is me.
41:00I just think it's smart and fun.
41:02The way you put the towel down and were like, I'm here.
41:07Vibe.
41:07I loved that first look, the blue look.
41:10And then the way you transitioned into the prolapse.
41:13I thought it was fabulous.
41:17The negative space on the torso needed to be stoned.
41:20It needed to give some kind of life because it felt unfinished.
41:23This, however, is unbelievable.
41:25You gave yourself a waist wearing orange slices.
41:27It's just so smart.
41:29Who wore it zest?
41:30I'm sorry, best.
41:32I'm actually going to go with Nikita.
41:35It all just speaks to me, darling.
41:38I'm going to go with Vibe.
41:39It's just that step up with the campery.
41:42Yes, loved it.
41:43I think I'm going to say Nikita just because I want to hang out with this lady.
41:47Who wore it better would be Vibe.
41:50Thank you, Queens.
41:52I think we've heard enough.
41:53While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate.
41:57You may leave the stage.
42:01Oh, my God.
42:02Ah, alcohol, bitch.
42:04This cup needs to go.
42:06So we just stepped off the main stage and...
42:09Ching, ching, go.
42:11I mean, I don't want to say that I got this, but I got this.
42:15I think you were the only one who got fully good cutie.
42:18Everything from the fucking shoelaces is great.
42:21It seems like it's going to be a lazy week.
42:23I really thought you guys were like, no, she's not going to bring shit this year.
42:27We did.
42:29The first episode, you've already proved us wrong.
42:31Yeah, fuck yeah.
42:32Good for you.
42:35How are you feeling, Olivia, from everything you heard?
42:38I am feeling crushed.
42:39I feel like my journey just started, but it's at its end already.
42:44I feel like I am, and the bottom was probably Lucina, like being blunt.
42:48Yeah, it's definitely me.
42:50Like, I'm not shocked at all.
42:51So I've kind of had a little bit of time to prepare.
42:56Karni, you're pretty quiet.
42:57I can see you thinking, are you all right, babe?
42:58I, uh, yeah.
43:00After hearing all the judges' comments, I feel like I'm in the bottom.
43:05All the judges chose Brenda over my looks.
43:08I'm not feeling too confident anymore.
43:10I was not expecting everyone to be this good.
43:13And so, like, getting in my head a little bit.
43:15When you walked in, you were so fucking guns a-blazing.
43:19Yeah.
43:19What happened?
43:20I definitely feel shaken up, and I'm worried about my position in the competition.
43:25But you're a performer.
43:27Yeah.
43:27A performer, honestly.
43:29I do want to say, you know, every time we represent culture, it can go one of two ways.
43:35It can go one of two ways.
43:37So bright.
43:39Oh.
43:41Now, just between us platypussies, what do you think?
43:45Starting with Lucina Innocence.
43:48Lucina, just a little bit basic, shall we say?
43:51Babe, give us some more.
43:52We're in the very beginning of this competition.
43:53You need to be showing us who you are as quickly as possible, and we don't have much time, Lucina.
43:58Though she looked beautiful and great, this is the main stage of Drag Race Down Under,
44:03and I don't think she quite met that challenge.
44:06Karni Ford.
44:07Karni Ford.
44:07She better afford something soon.
44:10Karni Ford could afford to invest in some confidence.
44:13For some reason, I felt her confidence.
44:15It seems like she could be like a performing queen.
44:17She's a queen that is filled with energy, filled with stage presence.
44:20She just has to think the storyline through a little bit more.
44:24Max, Drag Queen.
44:25Max did turn it out tonight, I'm proud to say.
44:28She's obviously a fashion queen.
44:30She was absolutely beautiful, but she needs to dig her heels into this and show us what she's made of.
45:04Olivia Dreams.
45:05Head to toe, not a stone unturned, and when I say that, I mean not a stone unturned, down to
45:10the lettuce in her bag.
45:12It was lettuce!
45:13Well, it was remarkable.
45:15I really look forward to everything that Lazy Susan is going to bring us.
45:20Nikita Iman.
45:21In her reveal look, she showed us a really important part of her culture, and she came out in the
45:25second look, a raging whore.
45:27She's like a panther, stalking the jungle, looking for her next prey.
45:32I thought she was really, really fun to watch.
45:34She gives me, like, just sultry...
45:36All right, shut it!
45:39Sounds like we made a decision.
45:41Bring back our queens.
45:46Welcome back, queens.
45:48We have made some decisions.
45:51Lazy Susan, this week you doubled down and it paid off.
45:56Big time.
45:58Condragulations, you're the winner of this week's Maxi Challenge.
46:04I can leave now.
46:05Bye.
46:06I'll take my money.
46:07You've won a cash prize of $3,000 from our friends at Teammate.
46:13You may step to the back of the stage.
46:16Have fun, girls.
46:20Mandy Moves.
46:22Brenda Breast.
46:24Freya Armani.
46:26Max Drag Queen.
46:28Nikita Iman.
46:31Vibe.
46:32You are all safe.
46:37You may step to the back of the stage.
46:47Lucina Innocence.
46:49Your double dressing was a real nip slip.
46:54Carniforge.
46:55Your Stranger Things look was strange.
47:00Olivia Dreams.
47:02Your double dipping outfit was lilac-ing.
47:12Olivia Dreams.
47:15You're safe.
47:18Thank you so much.
47:20You may join the other girls.
47:26Lucina and Karna.
47:28I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
47:36It's me and Karna in the bottom.
47:38I didn't want to have to go up against her because I know she's a great dancer, but I cannot
47:42go home tonight.
47:44Two beautiful queens stand before me.
47:49This is your last chance to impress the judges and save yourself from elimination.
47:56The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
48:08In this moment, I'm feeling every single fiber in my body fire up.
48:12This is what I do.
48:13Lip syncing is my bread and butter, and I am not going to lose on the thing that I am
48:18known for in Sydney.
48:19I am not going anywhere.
48:22Good luck.
48:23And don't fuck it up.
48:28I feel the rush.
48:30I'm addicted to your rush.
48:35Pick a medication.
48:37Tell me what you want.
48:39Transition you vibration.
48:40Learn to talk to me, baby.
48:43Love, if you want to show me why.
48:46You've been scheming up if you want to.
48:48Fuck off.
48:49Trust the simulation.
48:51Don't you let it break.
48:53Every simulation, I promise I can take what you want to get.
48:57Boy, you better show me why.
49:00You've been scheming up.
49:02You've got my heart beat racing.
49:06My body racing.
49:11I'm addicted to your rush.
49:13Oh, I'm addicted to your rush.
49:15I'm addicted to your rush.
49:18I'm addicted to your rush.
49:20Oh, I'm addicted to your rush.
49:21It's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so
49:30good, it's so good, it's so good.
49:32It's so good, it's so good, it's so good.
49:36It's so good, it's so good.
49:37It's so good, it's so good.
49:40It's so good, it's so good.
49:49It's so good, it's so good.
50:07Queens, we made our decision.
50:14Lucina Innocence.
50:20Karna Ford.
50:22Shanta, you both stay.
50:24Yes!
50:27Yes!
50:28Yes!
50:29Double save?
50:31Yes!
50:33Yes!
50:34Wow!
50:36To be given a second chance, I just, I'm not going to take this for granted and I am ready
50:42to show everyone who the fuck I am.
50:45A double save it is.
50:48But I wouldn't get used to that if I were you.
50:51I'm ready to start this competition and I'm going to make sure that the reputation is
50:55lived up to because I am kind of fun and I'm ready to kill all of these bitches so I
50:59get
50:59the crown.
51:01And remember, stop relying on that body and let your inner light shine through.
51:07Can I get a whoop whoop?
51:08Yes!
51:11Yes!
51:11Yes!
51:12Yes!
51:13I'm ready to play!
