00:01Oh my gosh.
00:03Aww.
00:05Cara's gone.
00:06I'm so sad to see my Sydney sister go.
00:09But I am so glad to have sent her home.
00:11I'm so proud to have been in a cast of such talented queens.
00:16Just want to let you all know, you all suck.
00:20What the fuck does that have?
00:21That's a kiss from the Demogorgon.
00:25Bitch, that was a lip sync.
00:27Yeah.
00:28I was not expecting it to be three of us.
00:30No, neither.
00:31No shade, no team.
00:32But I did think it was Max and Carnivore had it, to be completely fucking honest.
00:37Nikita's not going to be at the bottom again.
00:38I mean, Nikita's not a bottom girl.
00:41Moving forward, you're going to see Nikita in the top only because she is, what, a grand prize winner.
00:46The way in which I was like, two people are going home and I promise you it was not going
00:50to be me.
00:51Cheesy as that sounds.
00:52I feel like my mum was with me today.
00:54I'm probably feeling the best that I've ever felt in this competition.
00:56And I've just gotten to show everyone that I can do a cartwheel into a fucking split.
01:01Love you, Carla.
01:03You can afford the world now.
01:05But they can't afford you.
01:07Watch out, girls.
01:08Max is finally here.
01:10So, we've finally broken the curse of Lacey Susan.
01:17I'm feeling so good to be the one to have thrown Lacey Susan off her winning throne.
01:23Brenda, would you say you've finally turned the tables?
01:27Which makes the win so much more delicious.
01:31I really didn't know which way it was going to go.
01:33Both of you, you did so fucking well.
01:35Yeah.
01:35In my head, it's just like the edging session continues.
01:39I am on the up in this competition, but I haven't got that win yet.
01:43Good thing you love being edged though.
01:45You're going to milk it out of you, babe.
01:46I've got my eye on the prize.
01:48I've got my guns blazing.
01:50And I'm so ready to do this.
01:52Well, I'm literally bleeding out.
01:53So, let's get out of drag.
01:56Absolutely.
01:57Going forth.
01:57I'm here to fight.
01:58I'm here to win.
01:59Chloe.
02:01I'm going to do whatever it takes.
02:03The bleeding mother.
02:04I'm Mandy Moves.
02:05I'm the legend from Brisbane.
02:07Wow, you smell so good from down here.
02:09Shut up.
02:09I have been waiting for this moment for four years now.
02:13Oh, my G string.
02:14I'm going in for the kill.
02:18Oh, fuck.
02:23How you doing?
02:26It's a new week in the work room.
02:28Good morning.
02:28Good morning.
02:29Good morning.
02:30Now that I've got a taste for the win, I am hungry for more.
02:33I am so happy.
02:35I want you to enjoy this target now.
02:37Can you please just put that focus over here?
02:40These bitches better be worried because I've got even more tricks up my sleeve.
02:43Lucina, first time safe.
02:45How are you feeling today?
02:47I feel really good about it.
02:49I've gone from bottom and working my way up.
02:51Yeah.
02:52I thought you were going to be in the bottom because I was with you at Snatch Game and you
02:55were definitely saying the jokes, but it honestly felt like you were just reading lines.
03:00I feel like people are kind of seeing me as like the easy target, maybe seeing me as like not
03:06as strong as some of the other girls, but the bottom three definitely had list jokes than me.
03:11I don't want these girls to think that they can walk all over me.
03:14Their opinions are their opinions, but I know the truth.
03:17If people are underestimating you, it's time for you to fucking rip out the fucking everything you've got and just
03:23give it all.
03:23And I'm ready to do some.
03:28All right.
03:30Here we go.
03:31Hello, hello, hello.
03:33Good morning, Michelle.
03:34For this week's maxi challenge from scratch, you need to make outfits worthy of the main stage.
03:42It's the sewing challenge.
03:44Yeah.
03:46Hashtag drag race down under.
03:48But first to assign your fabrics, we're going to play a little game.
03:53What's your unpacking?
03:55Oh, all right.
03:57Oh, pick Chris.
04:02Oh, my God.
04:04There's more.
04:06Well, this is my favorite challenge so far.
04:09Oh, delicious.
04:13I've never seen them so attentive.
04:16We are deprived.
04:18It's been so long that Freya is looking fucking great.
04:22Don't worry about their small cases.
04:24They're growers, not showers.
04:27Now, lady kids, earlier, we asked you to fill out a survey about your fellow queen.
04:34I'm going to ask you the same questions.
04:36If your answer matches the majority vote, you get to pick a suitcase.
04:41Oh.
04:42Which will reveal a fabric theme.
04:45If you don't answer correctly, I'll move on down the line until we get the right answer.
04:50With the mini challenge, we've all previously voted of who we think is most likely to be XYZ.
04:58Oh, no.
04:59Some shady bitches up in here.
05:01I'm just hoping that the responses are anonymous.
05:03My first random choice, Max Drag Queen.
05:11According to the majority of the group, which queen is the sexiest out of drag?
05:18Oh.
05:18Well, my answer's different, but I know what the group's going to say.
05:21Okay.
05:22What's your answer?
05:23Why do you want to know, Michelle?
05:26The group's going to say Nikita.
05:29You are correct.
05:32I'm not surprised I'm surrounded by dogs.
05:36Max, grab those binoculars and have a closer look before you choose.
05:42Look at the suitcases, Max.
05:44The suitcases.
05:44Yeah, I know.
05:45It's really difficult.
05:47Number seven.
05:49Okay, number seven.
05:51Whatcha unpacking?
05:56Alright.
05:57It's written in the stars that I picked check because...
06:01Come check this.
06:02Puss.
06:04Start your engines.
06:07Lucina Innocence.
06:09Which queen suffers from drag delusion?
06:13Oh.
06:14I'm going to guess that these girls might have seared Miss Nikita.
06:20And the correct answer is Nikita.
06:24Oh, I voted for Nikita.
06:26She lives on drag delusion island because she believes that there is not a single other person in the world
06:32that is as divine.
06:34And that is why her drag works.
06:36It's fantastic, but it's deluded as hell.
06:38Whatcha unpacking?
06:39Number four.
06:43Laurel.
06:44Laurel.
06:44I like the fact.
06:46Nikita Imaag.
06:48Yay.
06:49Which queen has the most pedestrian drag?
06:53Max.
06:55Max?
06:56Actually, Nikita, no one voted for Max.
06:59Period, bitch.
07:02Moving on to five.
07:03Let's say Brenda.
07:04The majority does not agree with you.
07:07Oh, fuck.
07:07One of the issues with this game is that drag queens are like genetically incapable of listening to each other.
07:13Lucina.
07:13Freya.
07:14Mandy.
07:15Lazy.
07:16I myself suffer from that same issue.
07:18Five.
07:19Actually, no.
07:21What?
07:21Did someone say me?
07:22Unfortunately, it's like so obvious that it's Nikita that we assume it's already been said.
07:27Miss Nikita.
07:29It's called realness, and y'all can live back.
07:33Number one.
07:35It's tie-dye for Brenda Breast.
07:39Which queen is most likely to mop your drag?
07:42Nikita, because she didn't bring any.
07:45Unfortunately, the majority of the queens do not agree with you.
07:49Freya.
07:50The majority of the group agrees with you.
07:53If you can pick the right answer and get a box and have a choice of a fabric.
07:57Denim is another option for Brenda Breast.
07:59Then that is something that you should do.
08:01Brenda Breast.
08:02Yes.
08:03Which queen is most likely to go home next?
08:07Shit.
08:08Miss Lucina.
08:10It's not awkward.
08:12The correct answer is...
08:15Lucina Innocence.
08:18I just want to let these girls know that I really don't think they should be underestimating me.
08:23I'm probably best known around the local scene as more of a look queen.
08:27And I am ready for this sewing challenge.
08:31Okay, at the end of our game, Max has checks.
08:34Freya has kitty girl.
08:35Lazy Susan has pleather.
08:37Now Lucina, you have florals and sequels.
08:41Which one do you want to keep for yourself?
08:43Floral.
08:43I do love a bit of sparkle, but I know that sequins are really hard to work with.
08:49And who do you give your sequins to?
08:51Mandy, Vibe or Nikita?
08:53I'm gonna give them to Vibe.
08:55How gay.
08:57Alright.
08:58Out of the three girls, as far as I'm aware, she's the least proficient with a sewing machine.
09:02And she's constantly been in the top, so why not set her up with a bit of a challenge?
09:06Brenda, you have tie-dye, denim and lame.
09:11For myself, I am going to keep tie-dye.
09:16Why would she do that?
09:18Who gets lame and who gets denim?
09:22I've got a lot of power in these little hands right now.
09:25I feel like Mandy could work with anything.
09:27And Nikita, I don't know what you can do.
09:32If this is an opportunity for me to throw someone off in a challenge that I'm not completely confident in,
09:38then I'm gonna use that opportunity.
09:39I'm gonna give Mandy LeMay.
09:42Okay, that means, Nikita, you got denim.
09:46I love denim.
09:47Okay, queens, you have seven hours to turn these fabrics into fierce, fabulous fashions that screams you.
09:55And the clock starts now.
09:58Racers, start your engines!
10:01And for the best drag queen, win!
10:06Look at that.
10:08Oh, wow.
10:10LeMay.
10:11My favourite.
10:13Oh, yeah.
10:15This week we are sewing and designing outfits worthy of the main stage in fabrics we didn't get to choose
10:20for ourselves.
10:22Oh, it's satin.
10:25Oh, okay, whitewash.
10:27Interesting, interesting.
10:28Michelle did say she wanted to see an outfit that screams ass.
10:32Yeah, cause like, this would be easiest, but I would never wear that.
10:34I think I need to do a design that complements the flowy aspect of the fabric.
10:41And immediately my head goes to 70s kind of hippie sort of festival vibes.
10:47Is there a fabric you're actually glad you didn't get?
10:52Is it a tie-dye?
10:53I wanted tie-dye.
10:55I think it's so ugly.
10:59But that's all stretch fabric.
11:01That's gonna be absolutely fine.
11:03This is shiny, but it looks like crap.
11:06LeMay.
11:07Not my first choice of fabric, but I am confident in my school base I can make this work.
11:12Definitely feeling it today, being the sewer of the group.
11:16So fucking no pressure today, is it?
11:19Well, you've been on an incline.
11:20I have, yes.
11:21You have?
11:21I think this really could be your week.
11:23I think so too.
11:29Vibe.
11:31That's nice.
11:31Why does this remind me of you?
11:32I mean, I do love a little red pleather moment.
11:35Well, you know what I'm thinking.
11:37I want to come as the princess of darkness.
11:41The devil.
11:42Gay, okay.
11:43The devil, but she's on a corporate retreat.
11:45I love the devil.
11:47As a queer person, I feel very aligned with the devil, kicked out of heaven, forsaken for
11:51many years.
11:52It's the blood.
11:53I mean, you know, I could also do this.
11:55Oh my God, done.
11:57Often mistaken as being evil.
11:59That is the business woman that I would like to be.
12:01How are you feeling about yours?
12:03I'm not going to have a feeling about it until I know how they sew.
12:05So I've been given sequins, which is a glamorous, gorgeous fabric to look at and an absolute
12:11bitch to work with.
12:12I think this is iconic.
12:13Look at that.
12:14Pixar animated fur.
12:16Sequins and a sewing machine are not good friends.
12:19Let's call them Brenda and Nikita in this situation.
12:22It's a little bit too rainbow for my liking.
12:26If I have to make a needle go through layers of plastic while understanding how the stretch
12:31of the fabric works, look, I'm preparing for a mental breakdown today.
12:35So get the cameras.
12:36Hooray, hurrah.
12:37You don't look happy.
12:38Who does?
12:39I'm happy.
12:40I got mine.
12:40Good for you.
12:41I got exactly what I wanted.
12:43I am pumped.
12:44I am so excited that I got Kitty Girl.
12:46I think animal patterns look beautiful on my skin.
12:49This is it.
12:51Cocoon realness.
12:52Because a lot of the other fabrics are not ones that I particularly would want to have.
12:57Oh my gosh.
12:57These are.
12:58That is tough.
13:00And it just so happens to be that animal print is Michelle's favorite color.
13:04So yeah, I feel like that's just another plus for me this week.
13:12So girls, are you happy with the fabrics that I chose for you?
13:16I would have been excellent with anything.
13:18Well, that was literally my thinking.
13:20I've heard that denim is hard to work with.
13:22So I was like, let's steer clear of that.
13:24Is there beef there, Brenda?
13:25Is that why you gave me denim?
13:28I don't know.
13:29If it was a bit of sabotage, then make it work, babe.
13:32Turns out our sweet little Brenda breast is maybe not as sweet as we once thought.
13:38Let's give that hard fabric to the girl who is maybe a little bit shaky in the competition at the
13:44moment.
13:44Are you going to make any flowers out of denim?
13:46No.
13:46This is looking very pettily, babe.
13:48It is.
13:49Well, I'm just playing with t-shirt.
13:50What are you playing with?
13:50Rainbows and colors?
13:51Brenda has got shark eyes on.
13:53She knows what the fuck is up.
13:55Except she's sabotaging herself with a fucking dye dye.
13:58Oh, my God.
14:01This is heaven.
14:02Like.
14:04Oh.
14:05Hey, my little wombat.
14:07Hi.
14:09We've got company.
14:11All hail our reigning queen.
14:14Isis Avis Lorenz.
14:17Hi.
14:21Mandy Moves, come on over, please.
14:24I see swatches of LeMay.
14:26Oh.
14:27So this is what I'm thinking for my LeMay.
14:30When I saw the girl, I was just instantly remembered of like a bit of Norma Desmond.
14:34It is a corset that goes down into a skirt moment.
14:37And then underneath, I was thinking because I showed off my tits already, I want to show off my arse.
14:42A little bit.
14:43I mean, you kind of did something like that last week.
14:48And I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
14:49You're worried about doing it.
14:50You did that in a day.
14:51I know this is less than a day.
14:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:53But I still have faith in your ability.
14:56Were you excited that Brenda gave you LeMay?
14:59Oh, I was easy with anything.
15:01I'm very confident in this one.
15:02Must be nice.
15:04In a race against Mandy.
15:06She's not looking at any of us.
15:09It does seem like a lot to accomplish in such a short amount of time.
15:12If anyone in this room can do it.
15:14Yeah.
15:14You're the one to do it.
15:15This is Mandy's game to win.
15:17And if she doesn't take it out, it's gonna be really fucking embarrassing.
15:21Freya Armani exchange.
15:23Come on over.
15:25Not the exchange.
15:28Hey, kitty girl.
15:29Hey, kitty girl.
15:30How are you?
15:30Good, thank you.
15:32Are you getting close to any of the queens?
15:33Yeah, I guess Max and I have been getting to know each other.
15:37Oh.
15:37That's all I'm gonna say.
15:40Ooh.
15:44Oh my goodness, how cute.
15:46Just make sure you have her home before 10 o'clock.
15:49Yes, mom.
15:50See what you've got in your book.
15:51Yes.
15:52I'm going kitty girl, going claws out a little bit.
15:55I feel like I really want to give like a kind of sassy moment.
15:57You know, I'm, again, I'm in the room.
15:59I'm no Mandy moves or no Isis, Ava, Soren.
16:01So do you sew at all?
16:02No, I, like I, I love to design my own outfits, but I'm not like, yeah.
16:06That's a pretty big undertaking, don't you think?
16:08Um, okay, well that's fine, because I do have a simpler silhouette that's probably more achievable.
16:12Listen, not everybody is a master seamstress.
16:15Yeah.
16:15That's okay.
16:16If playing it safe is what's going to get you through it, then do what feels right.
16:21Look, I still want to take a little bit of a risk, so I'm not going to go for the
16:23simple dress.
16:24I'm still going to go with the gown, because I still want to show the judges that I'm not only
16:28trying,
16:28but I'm willing to challenge myself as well.
16:30Up next, Vibe.
16:32Come on over, baby.
16:33Ooh.
16:34Yeah.
16:35Yeah.
16:37I think the word we're looking for is fuck.
16:40Wow.
16:40Is this sabotage?
16:41I don't want to say it is, because I love Lucina, but a quick sketch of my look is just...
16:51Really going for glamour.
16:53Achievable glamour, alright?
16:54Oh my gosh.
16:55Are you worried, Vibe?
16:56I'm moderately worried.
16:57It's not something I don't know how to thread a machine and sew something.
17:00Right.
17:00My fear is more in sizing and patterning.
17:04So let's talk to Isis about that.
17:05What I'm thinking.
17:06Like a Morticia, deep V, you know, like split and then a little bit of a circle to the floor.
17:12And that is something that's very sort of a silhouette that I wear at home and I'm comfortable sort of
17:16performing in as well.
17:17If this is something that works for you at home and you know how to do it, why in God's
17:21name wouldn't you?
17:22Yeah, I'm not trying to make it hard for myself.
17:24I think your attitude to keeping it simple is very, very smart because sequins can get bulky very quickly.
17:32Too many seams, too many design elements can really start to make it look a bit like a dog's breakfast.
17:37Yes.
17:38I'm not willing to leave this competition in something I sewed myself.
17:43Thank you, Vibe.
17:44I spent too much money, too much time and I don't have the patience.
17:49We're going to get through this and safe is a win today.
17:52Lucina Innocence, come on over, doll.
17:56Oh my goodness, those drawings look beautiful.
17:58I was thinking of doing something like where I have the black as like a base dress and then pink
18:04roses kind of dotted around or almost like they wrap around my body kind of thing.
18:09I think it's a really smart idea to include something very textural because it adds an element of detail and
18:15interest to an otherwise flat piece of fabric that you've got.
18:19Now, Lucina, you've been in the bottom.
18:21Last week you were safe.
18:22How's your head feeling?
18:24I've had bitter.
18:26While I don't want to just settle for being safe, I definitely feel like I'm on the right track, even
18:32if some of these girls think that I should have been in the bottom for Snatch Game.
18:35Let's talk about that.
18:37I just have to remind myself that I am good enough to be here and that I can pull through
18:42and I will.
18:42Well, you are.
18:43That's why you're here.
18:44You were chosen to be here.
18:45And it's important to start doing that.
18:47You need to really put your foot on the gas pedal.
18:51It doesn't matter what anybody thinks.
18:52Getting this advice from Michelle is really reassuring, especially because I still feel like these girls are underestimating me.
18:58So I'm going to really gun for it this week.
19:01Nikita Iman.
19:03Oh, you're bringing the whole woman.
19:04Okay.
19:05So Nikita, you've got denim.
19:07Yes.
19:08And you worked with denim before?
19:09I have, but I haven't really made like a full garment out of it.
19:13Do you know how to sew?
19:15Yes.
19:15Yes, I do.
19:16Who taught you how to sew?
19:17My great auntie, actually.
19:18When I was in Samoa, my auntie had a sewing machine that you turn the wheel.
19:22Wow.
19:22So the manuals where you sit there and turn the wheels and put the thread through the needle.
19:27That's really special.
19:29Well, we see kind of a neck piece.
19:30What's the goal?
19:31It's going to be a full length gown.
19:33And then I'm going to spray paint, a graffiti, a very South Auckland vibes.
19:36I feel like adding my own little twist into the fabric itself is going to separate me from the rest
19:42of the girls.
19:43And I just hope that the judges really take that into consideration.
19:47Hopefully my design will put me in the top this week.
19:51You got to go for it.
19:52Please.
19:53Please.
19:55Somebody's telling me I might be in the top this week and I think I might have the win.
20:01So fingers crossed, fingers crossed.
20:03Queens, listen up.
20:04We can't wait to see your fierce, fabulous fashions tomorrow on the main stage.
20:10Where we'll be joined by our extra special guest judge, singer-songwriter, G Flip.
20:19Isis, your turn. Tell them what they need to know.
20:21Good luck and don't fuck it up.
20:31I saw that you sketched out another design after your walkthrough.
20:36I did. I'm going to swap it up a little bit.
20:38Yeah?
20:39Yeah. Just that one comment of, it looks kind of similar to what you wore last week.
20:44The last thing I want to do is compare what I've already brought.
20:48I want to show new things every week.
20:50So the only option is just to swap it.
20:52I was really happy because it's like, her comment to the other girls was...
20:56If it's not broke, don't change it.
20:58Yeah.
20:59But I feel like there's extra pressure on me.
21:01This is what I do.
21:02This is literally my challenge to win.
21:05And I don't want to let myself down.
21:13I can sew.
21:14I think what I struggle with is designs and concepts.
21:19I think I'm going to like put it on the mannequin and then like trim it.
21:21Yeah.
21:21I'll just lay it out and I'll...
21:22God, these colours are so fucking ugly.
21:25I just...
21:26I just hate it.
21:27I do hate it.
21:28I hate rainbow.
21:31Like, I've just decided to make my whole outfit out of this.
21:34And now I'm looking at it.
21:35I can't stop thinking that like, she said it's ugly.
21:38I don't know.
21:39Is it going to be really ugly?
21:42No.
21:43No.
21:44Embrace it.
21:45Embrace it.
21:45Oh, no.
21:46I shouldn't have told Brenda that I hate the tie-dye.
21:50Do we have any gasoline?
21:51If I hear one more word...
21:54I finally realised what my true identity is.
21:57And that is as Brenda's inner saboteur.
22:05Freyina and Maximus.
22:07Where are we having the first date?
22:10It's right now.
22:11It's right now.
22:11It's currently during the sewing time.
22:12This is what we're calling a craft-a-noon date.
22:17Oh, my God, Nikita.
22:18This looks amazing.
22:19Thanks, baby.
22:20How did you do it?
22:21Just a bit of spray paint.
22:22Uh-huh.
22:23You're so creative.
22:24I think the girls don't see me as a threat when it comes to a sewing challenge,
22:29but I feel like my design's going to pop and kind of stand out from everyone else's.
22:34Nikita's pulling out these wires and she's ripping fabric and she's manipulating it.
22:38In this challenge, she's the one I'm going to be worried about the most
22:42because it looks like she knows what she's doing.
22:53We've all been sewing for hours now and we're all just trying to stay alive.
23:00Please, sir.
23:01Please let me have a break.
23:04I have been sewing so long.
23:08Is it done yet?
23:12I've spent like four hours just peeing this skirt.
23:15I'm having a really grouse time in doing this.
23:19Actually, you know what?
23:21I hate this skirt.
23:22This skirt hates me.
23:23And I've decided that we're just not meant to work.
23:26I feel like I need to make pants or something.
23:28That could be kind of gay.
23:32We'll put it out there for everyone.
23:34If you need help, just ask.
23:36Aw, thank you, Mandy.
23:37I'm noticing Freya is just a little bit behind all the other girls.
23:44Fold it over once and then cut it.
23:47That makes sense.
23:49I've made most of the pieces for my costume
23:53and Freya seems to have just finished cutting out and sewing basic seams
23:59on like the base of her dress.
24:02And now to do it all again.
24:04What are you doing, girl?
24:06Maybe she spent too much time floating with Max and not enough time sewing.
24:09You need to cover your crotch.
24:11Why are you telling me to do that?
24:13I don't know.
24:14I think she's in trouble.
24:22Get to work!
24:24It's a new day in the workroom and eight of the most broken fucking women in the world walk back
24:29in.
24:29I saw it in the man's eye.
24:32This is how I die.
24:34We stayed up all night sewing to try and appease four vengeful gods.
24:40It's a hard time.
24:42What are you making?
24:43A bow.
24:44No.
24:44My brain is very like, how does a bow go?
24:50It was a big night.
24:51It was a big night.
24:53I'm feeling much better about my garment than I was when we started sewing.
24:58It's got a little reveal that I don't think any of the other girls are doing.
25:02I think I've done enough to get by this week.
25:05Do you have anything to finish this morning?
25:07Yeah, I want to make gloves in a G string.
25:09And then I'm going to go help Freya.
25:12I'm so ready for this challenge to be over.
25:15I am stressed to house down boots.
25:17I should not have chosen to do a gown.
25:21I think I underestimated how long lining takes and all like the little stupid shit.
25:26Yeah.
25:27But look, I'm a persevere and I'm not going to be down on myself for challenging myself.
25:31You know what I mean?
25:32Good for you for like actually going ham.
25:35Exactly.
25:41This looks so gay, Liz.
25:44You're the rosebud queen this week.
25:46I've passed the prolapse on.
25:48What an honor.
25:51Lucina's adding flowers and I just don't know at what point she's going to stop.
25:56The construction quality of that garment is incredible,
25:59but I kind of liked it when it was just the ring around the base
26:02and the ring around the neck and the ring around the sleeves.
26:04I would have stopped there.
26:11So Miss Mandy, how did you get into sewing?
26:14It was before drag.
26:15Like I used to go out clubbing and stuff and you see the queens and I was like,
26:18Hey, I can, I can do this.
26:19I can make you a little dress.
26:20So I started making queens costumes and 13 years later, I'm still doing it.
26:25There's a moment when you create a garment for someone and then you see it on stage.
26:30And it's that moment right there that brings me just utter joy.
26:35What's your take on like drag 15 years ago when it comes to like creating costumes versus today?
26:41There's not a lot of people who actually have the skills.
26:44When, when I first started, it was just everyone knew.
26:47And I feel like when I make myself costumes, it's not a one time wear.
26:51I want this to last for decades and can be passed down to other queens.
26:54You know, I hate when people get that fast fashion attitude about drag, like wear it once and burn it.
26:59I'm like, hmm.
27:00I work like five times a week and you're expecting me to have a new outfit for every single fucking
27:05gig.
27:05I hate that mindset too.
27:06There is a very strong expectation on queens that, you know, every gig should be a new outfit, a new
27:10wig.
27:11Like, I don't have that money.
27:12I don't know a single queen that does.
27:13I've had people, you know, be like, Oh, you're wearing that again.
27:15I'm like, well, yes.
27:17I paid fucking $600 for this dress to be made.
27:19Do you think I'm not going to wear it until it fucking dies?
27:21When you get given like a show set or a show costume, we call it a legacy piece.
27:25To be wearing like something that another drag queen has like worn as part of their legacy is so cunt.
27:30I love it.
27:30I love it.
27:31I think it's like the more we can do that, the better.
27:33Cause it's, you know, it's preserving drag history and we don't have a drag museum.
27:38Yeah.
27:39I love it.
27:40All right.
27:40I'm done too.
27:41Yay.
27:42Should I add this?
27:43No.
27:43Cause it's on the, it's on the back.
27:45No.
27:46Nor?
27:46No.
27:47I absolutely think Freya is in trouble this week.
27:50Is it going to get back cause the bottom of it isn't hemmed?
27:52I'm looking at it head to toe and it's just, it's an absolute mess.
27:57Um, put your face on and I'll cut it once you're in drag and I'll quickly hem it for you.
28:02I don't want to see my Brisbane sister going home.
28:05So I will do everything I can to help.
28:06But at this stage, I don't think there's a lot left I can do.
28:11Welcome to the main stage of drag race down under our reigning queen, Isis Avis Loren.
28:18What's your favorite accessory?
28:20Hmm.
28:21Reese Nicholson.
28:22Cause I go with everything.
28:25Speaking of wardrobe malfunctions.
28:27It's Reese Nicholson.
28:28Hello.
28:30Oh, Michelle tonight.
28:31I took the advice of Coco Chanel and before I left the house, I took off one thing.
28:35What was it?
28:35My pants.
28:37Wanna see?
28:38I think I'm good for now.
28:39Okay.
28:40And our extra special guest judge, G Flip.
28:43G, do you consider yourself a fashionista?
28:46Well, I did once design my own line of Crocs, so yes.
28:50That works for me.
28:51Absolutely.
28:53This week, we challenged our queens to create fierce, fabulous fashion from scratch.
28:59Racers, start your engines.
29:01And may the best drag queen win.
29:04Cause you're a star, baby.
29:08Category is Fierce Fabulous Fashion.
29:12Up first, Lazy Susan Pleather.
29:16Sorry, my dear.
29:17This is the no smoking section.
29:19I am serving Lazy Susan is the manager of hell.
29:23I'm making sure the guillotines are dull and that all of the sodomites are in a nice tidy line.
29:28Oh, no.
29:29Oh.
29:29How's your head, hun?
29:30Oh.
29:33The bold and the beautiful.
29:36We love a queen with a message.
29:40Lucina Innocence.
29:42Floral.
29:43Every rose has its thorn.
29:46Tonight on the runway, I am serving you a sexy, body-hugging gown with pops of pink flowers all over.
29:54I can tell that the judges want to pick my flowers.
29:57Her favorite author is Judy Blume.
30:01Nikita Iman, denim.
30:04She denim already done had herses.
30:06I am giving you urban.
30:07I am giving you Sydney fashion week.
30:10This is the most confusing gender reveal I've ever been to.
30:13They can't clock a single thing.
30:15The hem is hitting the floor.
30:16My arch is arching.
30:18The puff is puffing.
30:21And the denim is denimming.
30:25Brenda Breast.
30:26Tie-dye.
30:27Is the magic school bus still running?
30:29I am serving Miss Frizzles cooked off her face sister who's working the bake sale at the church realness.
30:36So the judges think that they have seen my whole look.
30:39And then all of a sudden I'm spinning and I'm spinning.
30:42And I keep twirling it around.
30:44And it just got a little caught up.
30:47Mom, you're embarrassing me.
30:49The only thing I can do with this now is just try and sell the camp nature of it.
30:55Those boots are made for walking.
30:59Vibe.
31:00Sequence.
31:02Mmm, cold shoulder.
31:04I'm giving you a full floor legs gown complete with a sequin ruffle trim around the entire train that I'm
31:11dragging behind me.
31:12And I have a keyhole in the back.
31:15A keyhole back for easy access.
31:18I'd make more jokes but I can't pronounce sequins.
31:22Freya Armani.
31:23Kitty girl.
31:24Meow, meow, meow.
31:25From the Michelle Vassage collection.
31:28Yes.
31:29On the runway tonight, I'm serving you glamour, I'm serving you kitty, I'm serving you tiger print.
31:33Tiger print?
31:35I didn't even know her print.
31:36Am I 100% happy with the construction?
31:38Absolutely not.
31:39But I think the overall shape and look of this dress is super glamorous.
31:45Why don't you come up to my litter box sometime?
31:49Max Drag Queen.
31:51Checks.
31:52I surrender.
31:54Bonasera.
31:55I feel like a 40s racer chick after the Daytona 500.
31:58She's waving the flag.
32:00She's twirling the baton.
32:02I hear she has a checkered puff.
32:05I feel like Isis is picking up what I'm putting down.
32:07And that's what's important in this challenge.
32:09Because that's my mom.
32:11Mandy moves.
32:13Lame.
32:13Sorry.
32:14Lame.
32:15I walk around the corner and I just see everyone light up.
32:19Mother Lame-I.
32:21This look is the heightened version of Mandy moves.
32:25It is elegant.
32:26It's a little bit cheeky.
32:29And it is gorgeous.
32:31Get a load of those baked potatoes.
32:34This is decades of knowledge and decades of experience.
32:38And the Oscar goes to...
32:44Kyoto Queen.
32:45Kyoto.
32:46Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy.
32:47Boy Boy Boy.
32:49I just wanted to say I'm proud to call you my dolls.
32:51This challenge, unbelievable.
32:54Now when I call your name, please step forward.
32:58Lazy Susan.
33:01Max Drag Queen.
33:02Any other week, you'd be top.
33:05But this week, you're safe.
33:07Oh, my God.
33:09Back down, Lazy Susan.
33:12You may leave the stage.
33:17Queens, you represent the tops and the bottoms of the week.
33:21Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
33:23First up, Lucina Innocence.
33:26Lucina, darling, you look absolutely gorgeous tonight.
33:30However, the placement of the roses is a little ho-hum.
33:33I agree with Isis.
33:34Maybe the roses are a little bit...
33:36Buck around and find out.
33:37There's a lot up the top, less down the bottom.
33:40As a lesbian, your nails terrify me.
33:44But overall, I think you look beautiful and elegant and your makeup stunning.
33:48This construction is beautiful.
33:50I agree.
33:50I think you could have had a little bit more fun with the pattern.
33:52In order to take it to a 10, you just needed to give us something different when everybody else is
33:57around the same batting average and higher.
33:59Does that make sense?
34:00Yeah.
34:01Thank you, Lucina.
34:02Up next, Nikita Iman.
34:04This is a masterclass in sculpture and form.
34:09The way that you have created this arch of denim is incredible.
34:13And then all of this detail with the paint is really frickin' cool.
34:17It's very creative and really shows me who you are.
34:22Nikita, urban street couture.
34:24That's what you wanted it to be.
34:26And you delivered.
34:28Just the differentiation of the textures that you used.
34:33The hair.
34:33The fat chain.
34:35It's all indicative and representative of street and urban fashion.
34:38And I love that.
34:39Honestly, it's remarkable.
34:42Really well done.
34:44Up next, Brenda Brest.
34:46This is a really well-constructed outfit.
34:48However, I do think that you've over-accessorized.
34:51We've given you the note before to make sure you edit.
34:54I like the transition if it just went a little bit smoother.
34:57I love like a little cheeky surprise like that.
34:59The construction is beautiful.
35:01It's just the over-accessorizing almost cheapened it.
35:04I think I put that solely on the glasses.
35:07How are you feeling right now?
35:07You seem a little bit down on yourself.
35:10I think just like this challenge is really hard.
35:13I think I expected to be like so emotional about missing my family and missing my partner.
35:18I guess I didn't realize like how much I rely on them for support, so.
35:21What you're experiencing now is totally normal.
35:24We are rooting for you.
35:25And millions of people that are watching right now, they're rooting for you too.
35:28Rely on that to get you through.
35:30Because you have the talent.
35:33Up next.
35:34Five.
35:35Five.
35:35I did textiles in high school, and I remember having to make a pencil case out of exactly
35:40this type of fabric, and it ruined my fucking life.
35:43I only broke one needle.
35:45That's fucking brilliant.
35:46I love the bow in the hair.
35:47I don't know anything about sewing or gaping holes, but.
35:51All right.
35:52You're with the wrong women, G.
35:54I meant gaping holes in sewing.
35:56Yeah.
35:56In life might be different.
35:58It could have gone royally wrong, but the way you put it together is beautiful.
36:04You should be proud of yourself.
36:05Up next, Freya Armani.
36:07I want to commend you.
36:08I know that this is a really difficult challenge.
36:10Unfortunately, there are a couple of fit issues around the knee area, and your hem is quite uneven.
36:15I'm not sure what the bottom's called.
36:18I'm going to call it a knee skirt.
36:19I like the knee skirt.
36:21I love it.
36:22Knee skirts are cool?
36:23Yeah.
36:24Now, when we talked to you in the workroom, you weren't going to go this detailed, were
36:27you?
36:28No, I was going to go the simpler dress, and then I was like, I'm going to challenge myself.
36:32And it went really well.
36:35I think that, you know, it's not the worst, but the construction's definitely not quite there.
36:41Thank you, Freya.
36:42Up next, Mandy moves.
36:49I am absolutely dumbfounded with wonder.
36:52You're a fucking icon.
36:54This work is incredible.
36:56And I love it.
36:58Oh, my God.
36:59Ditto, ditto, ditto.
37:00Looks like a finale look.
37:02I love your knee skirt.
37:05I love the cheeky butt cheeks as well.
37:07That was a good surprise.
37:08Did you make the corset as well?
37:09Yeah.
37:10You're outrageous.
37:11Fuck you.
37:13Everything about the presentation is just phenomenal.
37:16With the right hair, the right makeup, you didn't over-accessorize.
37:19You let the garment speak for itself.
37:21That's what a designer does.
37:24How are you feeling right now?
37:26This is my passion.
37:31Nothing makes me more happy than to create garments.
37:34And to hear such high praises just means I'm doing the right thing.
37:43Thank you, Queens.
37:44I think we've heard enough.
37:45While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate.
37:49You may leave the stage.
37:53I think the best part about what just happened was that we would have been high if it weren't
37:57for the excellence that's on the stage.
37:59Technically, we're in the top this week.
38:02This group, man, it feels hard.
38:04Yeah.
38:05It's starting to piss me off.
38:07Yeah.
38:08I'm so mad about how talented everyone is.
38:11Who do I talk to about that?
38:12I can hear the rustling of cheap fabrics.
38:14Something's coming.
38:15Hyper-checking.
38:17Guess who's in the top?
38:19No, I'm just kidding.
38:21So, Mandy, they hated your outfit.
38:22Fucking hated it so much.
38:24Has Mandy got a standing ovation?
38:25Yeah.
38:26Yeah.
38:26I don't know how to express what I'm feeling.
38:29It's a mixture of happiness, overwhelmed with pride, with myself.
38:33Just to hear all those kind words from everyone was very overwhelming.
38:37I can't stop smiling.
38:39It's just pure joy.
38:40I also love Makita as well.
38:43I'm so happy.
38:44I'm so thrilled.
38:45Especially after last week's natural disaster.
38:47I'm just so, so proud of myself and Mandy as well.
38:51You cannot deny what Mandy has put together.
38:53As much as I would love the win, I feel like this challenge has gone to Mandy.
38:58But those critiques that I got were the critiques that I wanted.
39:02And I'm proud of myself.
39:04How about you, Lucy? How do you feel?
39:13Just sick of being the worst every week.
39:16You are not the worst every week.
39:17It's not a case of being the worst at all.
39:19They keep saying how good everyone is.
39:22And that includes you.
39:23When I was thinking about being in the bottom this week, would I feel comfortable going home dressed like this?
39:29And the answer is yes.
39:30Because I feel like I did everything humanly possible.
39:33And I think you can say the same thing.
39:35You never gave up.
39:36You came back even after they fucking knocked you back and knocked you back.
39:39And here you are.
39:40Keep that confidence.
39:41Yeah, don't feel defeated.
39:41Keep that fire within you.
39:43You can see that she's just this really talented queen who perhaps doesn't yet have the voice to push it
39:49through this thick fog of loud drag queens.
39:51I hope that she keeps her heart in the competition.
39:54Because that's the sort of shit that gets you sin harm.
39:55Brenda, I just want to check in. How are you doing?
39:58I'm just like really, really missing my family and my partner and everything.
40:04I know it's not the same, but we are here.
40:05We got you.
40:06If you need.
40:07I feel like so much love from all you girls and I really appreciate it.
40:11It hurts.
40:11And to come off the win last week and then to go straight to the bottom is a bit of
40:14a kick in the guts.
40:15I need to go listen to this lip sync, but whoever I'm up against, you better fucking bring it because
40:19I'm not fucking going home tonight.
40:21Fuck yeah.
40:22Neither am I.
40:23If I have to lip sync, I'm ready to fight.
40:25No, I'm not worried.
40:26I'm good.
40:26This is what I do weekly.
40:28Well famously, you have to stay here that week.
40:30I literally have to.
40:31I don't have another choice.
40:32There is absolutely no chance in hell that I'm going home.
40:35No chance.
40:37Now, just between us platypussies, what do you think?
40:40Starting with Lucina Innocence.
40:43The outfit was perfectly constructed.
40:45Just the design of the flowers left a little to be desired.
40:48I also want to see more from her on the runway every week.
40:51I want to see oomph.
40:53Yeah, maybe just could have gone a bit bigger.
40:55It's just coming down to that time where we really got to bring it.
40:57Was it pretty?
40:58Yes.
40:58But if you're lining them all up, I don't think what she did was groundbreaking in any way.
41:03Let's move on to Nikita Iman.
41:06Nikita creates from the soul and it created something really, really special.
41:11Otherworldly, like fashion runway quality.
41:13So much creativity, so much art.
41:16Well, my gosh, I did not expect Nikita to turn that denim look around the way that she did.
41:21I love when drag surprises me.
41:23Fantastic night tonight for Nikita Iman.
41:25Up next, Brenda Brest.
41:28Brenda did really well to construct a garment that was next to perfect.
41:32She tried to overcomplicate it a little bit.
41:34She over accessorized.
41:35She had the reveal and it kind of meant that what we were left with was a lot of bells
41:39and
41:39whistles, but not actually an incredible design.
41:41I think the design could have been a little bit more crazy, interesting.
41:45We actually liked what she did.
41:46She just overdid it in some aspects and it was a bit clunky.
41:51Let's move on to Vibe.
41:53Vibe did really well tonight.
41:54She could have easily relied on the fabric, but she made some really lovely choices and just a mwah.
42:00As soon as she came out, it was Sparkle Town.
42:03It was so beautiful.
42:04I think it was the only dress that had a leg slit in it.
42:07I don't know what they're called, but that's it.
42:09That's it.
42:10I got one right.
42:10You could see the work that she put into it.
42:12It was actually really well done.
42:14They're super proud of her.
42:15Freya Armani.
42:16This was clearly not Freya's wig and she knew that, but there's something really infectious
42:21about Freya.
42:22Love a knee skirt, as you all know now, but I would have liked to see Freya really flaunt
42:27it on the runway and not let the insecurities get to her.
42:30Probably my least favorite on the runway tonight when it comes to execution, but I admire that
42:35gumption.
42:36She went for it.
42:37Up next, Mandy moves.
42:39The amount of time and effort required to create the garment she wore tonight, she is
42:46a force to be reckoned with and I cannot sing her praises enough.
42:50This is too much talent for one person.
42:52It makes me sick.
42:54The knee skirt, fire.
42:55The sleeves, fire.
42:57The butt cheeks being exposed, fire.
42:59Let's not forget, she made a friggin' corset.
43:03Mm-hmm.
43:03That is the first pfff.
43:05There was so much detail to it as well.
43:08Shut it!
43:09Sounds like we've made a decision.
43:11Bring back our queens.
43:13Welcome back queens.
43:15We've made some decisions.
43:22Mandy moves.
43:23This week, you were breast in show.
43:28Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.
43:33Yes!
43:34Ugh!
43:35That was such a big challenge and I fucking demolished it.
43:38You've won a $2,000 voucher from Shumi.
