07:25platter pussies on fire
07:27I'm really excited for an acting challenge because I studied theatre, I studied film acting.
07:32So how are we going to make a point of difference?
07:34Exactly.
07:35We all have the same script, so it's really about standing out.
07:38But yeah, I want to layer, I want to add more layers to her.
07:40The easy route would just be a messy older woman, kind of like maybe a MILF, and I feel
07:47like that's too safe.
07:49Maybe like that, but like as a grandma.
07:52As a grandma.
07:54Oh, like old, old.
07:55Yeah, like that.
07:56A gill.
07:56A gill.
07:57A grandma.
08:00What do you think is your interview?
08:03I think like...
08:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.
08:04Let me start writing down.
08:05Oh, fuck you.
08:07First time I'm ever going to audition for something.
08:09First time acting for something.
08:10First time reading a teleprompter.
08:12First time learning a script.
08:14I'm really trying to think how I can pad this out with props.
08:17Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking the same.
08:18Like make this uniquely me, but while also being a different character.
08:23Me too.
08:24I was really hoping for an acting challenge where we appeared at.
08:27It's going to go and go like over, just over acts.
08:31Yeah.
08:31Just really try and have fun with it.
08:33What are you going to wear?
08:34Do you know?
08:34What are you thinking?
08:35Well, I think, I think the judges have wanted to see something ugly.
08:39So I'm going to try and go through Lazy's wardrobe.
08:42I'm thinking the same thing.
08:46I may be polyamorous, but at least I am not a throat change.
08:52But you can actually do your own one.
08:54So like when it's like, oh, when I did this with my hair and you could pick up one of
08:58your
08:58human hairs and just kind of slap it across his face.
09:00A script is more of a suggestion in my book.
09:03Make sure you're still hitting the key story points.
09:05So you're not leaving your theme partner out to see.
09:08But you know, just the verbiage is not so important.
09:12Part of me wants to like, no, this feels like the risk part.
09:16Do me, but like the like wailing version of me that's been here.
09:20I've gone through the past few challenges, like putting on a brave face.
09:24I lost my mum.
09:26I went through breakup.
09:27Yeah.
09:28Just trying to pull on my past experiences and dramatize it for, it's too, too much.
09:33That could be funny.
09:35I want to go big.
09:36Yeah.
09:37How about you?
09:37I'm just trying to get a placement on like how Oziana I want to go.
09:43What is the best woman to shove into a cheap motel?
09:46And that's to play upper class high status.
09:49But then I look around the room and I see that that might be something the other girls have.
09:54I think vibe might go burnt out Oziana lady.
09:58So I kind of want to make sure I stay off her toes.
10:01I'm going to offer something different.
10:03I'm going to switch the script.
10:06Hey, queen.
10:08Hi.
10:09Plot twist.
10:11Playing the role of a world famous thespian.
10:14It's Hannah Conda.
10:15Hi.
10:16Hey.
10:19High five.
10:21So Miss Hannah Conda walks in with her little hands and her little feet and her little legs
10:25and she looks fucking incredible.
10:26Wow.
10:28Well, we can take the middle one down.
10:31Lazy Susan, Mandy Moobs and Freya Armani.
10:34Come on over.
10:35I really need to push myself and go to a very weird place.
10:38I feel like that's the route I'm going to go down.
10:40So Mandy Moobs, who is too too much to you?
10:43She is going to be an adult baby.
10:49Of course she is.
10:50Of course she is.
10:51She's going to be one of those child actors that should have never left the role.
10:57Mandy's decided to be a baby.
10:59It could misfire in a way that becomes not creepy haha, but creepy very strange.
11:06Can I hear one part, a sample of your character?
11:08I don't even know how to do my taxes here.
11:11Yes, yes.
11:13Fabulous.
11:14Go all the way with that.
11:16Freya.
11:16I'm going for femme fatale seductress who's on the run from the popo because she's been
11:21stealing too much sugar daddy money.
11:22I've got a ton of experience in theatre and being on stage, so.
11:25Well, you're building that up, aren't you, Freya?
11:28Lazy Susan.
11:29I think I'm going to base her on my dad's old agent.
11:32So like, my dad's an actor and when his agent would call and she was this Russian woman,
11:35she'd be like, tell him we've got the commercial for dish soap.
11:40Okay.
11:41Tell me about your acting background.
11:42Um, I mean like, I really swore off acting as much as possible watching my dad go through
11:47being like a working actor, not like a famous actor and just get knocked back and knocked
11:52back.
11:53Rejection is 95, 96% of what we do.
11:57Gotta build that thick skin.
11:59And my dad was so like, he didn't give a shit about me being gay or a drag queen.
12:02He was like, just be funny.
12:04Is your father RuPaul?
12:07In the script, you're going through a myriad of emotions.
12:09And I want to remind you that getting louder is not funnier.
12:13It's not sadder.
12:14It's not angrier.
12:16Volume doesn't control intensity.
12:18I'm hoping if I just lean in on a big, broad decision, it'll pay off.
12:22The only danger is if it becomes one note.
12:25Any questions for Hannah?
12:27When you're in a stressful challenge, what's like your way of staying calm so that you're
12:31staying in character and still being present?
12:33I just found the best thing to do was not second guess what I was doing.
12:37It's a quick industry.
12:38So just don't falter from that gut instinct.
12:41Great.
12:41Thank you, Hannah.
12:42You're welcome.
12:43Vibe, Max Drag Queen, Nikita Iman, come on over.
12:48Wow.
12:49Okay.
12:50I am so jealous that you get to audition for the role of Too Too Much.
12:55You can audition too.
12:56I would love to.
12:57I would get it.
12:59You don't want her auditioning.
13:01Max Drag Queen.
13:03I'm going to pull from what I have, which is the seven stages of grief and just go through
13:08that emotional rollercoaster with her.
13:10I want to hear a little sample of who Too Too is to you.
13:13Wow.
13:14Bringing all of that human experience.
13:19A thruple.
13:23Don't make me laugh.
13:26Are you able to disconnect from that pretty little head of yours and allow yourself to
13:32just go for it?
13:33All I heard was you say that I had a pretty head.
13:35You have a beautiful head.
13:37Beautiful.
13:38But you need to allow yourself to be present in there.
13:42Yeah.
13:42I think that's going to be my biggest battle today.
13:46I'm definitely hoping to shake off this fucking energy and just like go balls to the wall.
13:54Nikita, who's Too Too Much to you, my darling?
13:56I want to go crazy auntie recovering from an addiction.
14:03Michelle was not laughing.
14:04She was not giving.
14:05In order for me to really give it, I needed to fully develop the character.
14:08Here we go.
14:08I didn't say I was a good drag queen.
14:11More.
14:11More.
14:12I didn't say I was a good drag queen.
14:14Like you got to take it to that level every time.
14:17When your hair moves, the laugh is quite camp.
14:19There's little intricate pieces of them that make them a little bit quirky and different
14:23because that's where the levels start to form.
14:26The humanity of that character, as ridiculous as it is, I think that's what you need to lean into.
14:31Who is Too Too Much to you vibes?
14:33The storyline is that she is kind of like that tired ass showgirl.
14:36So as a drag queen who's also been acting as a drag queen for over 10 years, my body's falling
14:41apart.
14:41So I thought, fuck it.
14:42Prop wise, what can fall off me and what can stay on?
14:45Prop humor is risky though, because it could commandeer everything.
14:49Or you get upstaged by a bunch of plastic legs.
14:52I'm definitely trying to think of how to maybe simplify some of the prop use
14:56and just try and give myself the best chance at like relaxing into the scene.
15:01Queens, listen up.
15:02Later today, you'll each audition for casting agent Reece Nicholson.
15:09Yay.
15:10And tomorrow on the main stage, you'll be joined by our extra special guest judge, a real drag.
15:16Matt O'Kine.
15:18Hannah, would you do us the honors?
15:20Oh, I hope I get a pay rise for this.
15:22Here we go.
15:23Good luck.
15:24And don't fuck it up.
15:26Yay.
15:29I feel like when I'm in full head to toe crazy woman, it will translate better.
15:33So fingers crossed that comes through.
15:35Forget this.
15:36It's for you, Papa.
15:39Trying not to settle into a character that I go to as a backup, which is that Jennifer Coolidgey feel.
15:44But we'll see.
15:47One of us is going to get the role and it's going to be me.
15:49Look out, Hollywood.
15:54Oh, Miss Armani.
15:55Come on in.
15:55May I call you Freya?
15:58Yes.
15:58Okay.
15:59You a cop?
16:01Well, legally, I'd have to tell you.
16:04Um.
16:06Hi, how are you?
16:06I hear you got stuck in traffic.
16:08Yeah, I got stuck in everything, actually.
16:10Glad you made it.
16:11Let's slate you.
16:12Slate?
16:12A slate?
16:13It's a professional film term.
16:15Sure.
16:17How am I?
16:18Common?
16:20And what was your name and what role will you be auditioning for?
16:22My name is Vibe and I'll be auditioning for Too Too Much.
16:26Wonderful.
16:27Are you able to horseback ride?
16:29Is there any special skills you have that you could bring to the shoot?
16:33Um, I like to think that I'm a foot above the rest of the competition.
16:35I can count to five on Cure.
16:38Okay, great.
16:39Count to five.
16:39Yeah.
16:40One, two.
16:44Why don't we do like a little vocal exercise together?
16:46Okay.
16:46Yes, please.
16:48La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
16:53A-woo-ga!
16:54A-woo-ga!
16:55A-woo-ga!
16:56A-woo-ga!
16:58Alright, places.
17:01Just one second.
17:03Tutu, it's me, your ex-boyfriend.
17:05Are you alone?
17:08Get lost!
17:11Back to pit!
17:12Jesus Christ.
17:16Okay, come in.
17:17I got your message.
17:18What do you want?
17:20I've been here by my lonesome.
17:22Cut, cut.
17:23Do you want to tell them to leave?
17:25Oh, yes, totally.
17:26Sorry.
17:28Come in.
17:30I got your message.
17:31What do you want?
17:32I've been sitting here all on my lonesome waiting for you.
17:35My God, it's been ten years and you're as beautiful as ever.
17:39I was a fool to leave you.
17:43But I'm back now.
17:45And I'm not going to let anyone or anything come between us ever again.
17:51But, Tutu, remember when you loved it when I did this with my body?
17:57And you threw this for you.
17:59And I did this with my hair.
18:05Oh, and the way that I went up and down and up and down and up and down and up
18:10and down on your trampoline.
18:16Or when I would say the word moist, moist, remember?
18:22Do you remember how I used to do that thing you like with my body?
18:29Do you remember how I used to do that thing you like with my mouth?
18:34Remember how much you loved it when I did this with my body?
18:43And when I did this with my mouth?
18:46Remember how much you loved it when we played our games?
18:50Remember?
18:51The tradie in the truck shop lady?
18:55You're like this.
18:56I'll get you the meat pie from the back and your choccy milk.
19:00A sweaty little whistle for my boy.
19:05Whoa, wait a minute.
19:07Ten years ago, you went out for a bottle of Amel and you never came back.
19:10And now you expect me to pretend like nothing happened?
19:13Me.
19:14Me.
19:15Me.
19:16Me.
19:17Me.
19:18Me.
19:19Me.
19:21When I went out to buy that, I was hit on the head and I woke up in the buttfuck
19:28middle of nowhere.
19:29I was hit in the head and ended up in buttfuck nowhere.
19:36To make money I had to stoop to the lowest of lows.
19:39I became drag queen.
19:41Dancing to tawdry songs in the night.
19:45I've been saving enough money to try and get bus out of here.
19:49Is the bus still running?
19:51For ten years?
19:53I didn't say I was a good drag queen.
19:56You know, I...
20:00I was so desperate for money, I...
20:04I...
20:05Just say it, Tutu.
20:07I...
20:07I auditioned for Drag Race.
20:10Da, na, na.
20:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
20:13Season three.
20:15Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
20:18Oh, my God.
20:20After my abysmal performance in the Snatch Game, I escaped and came here.
20:23To you.
20:25After my abysmal Snatch Game performance, I played fortune-telling dog from Hungary.
20:31Choo-choo.
20:32I escaped and I came here.
20:35Back to you, mi amor.
20:36Finnish is my second language.
20:38But Tutu, it's Tutu late.
20:41I'm in a thruple now.
20:42A thruple?
20:43Don't make me laugh.
20:45Ha.
20:46Ha.
20:48Ha.
20:49Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
20:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
20:52Ha, ha, ha.
20:54A dozen people couldn't make love to you the way that I can.
20:59But we're in a committed relationship.
21:01Oh, really?
21:03Well, last night I slept with your boyfriend.
21:07With your boyfriend last night.
21:10And then your other boyfriend.
21:12And then after a long sausage break, I slept with your other lover.
21:18So much for committed relationship.
21:21Knowing your powers of seduction, I can forgive them.
21:24But I can never forgive you.
21:26I may be polyamorous, but at least I'm not a throat goat.
21:32You leave the goat out of this.
21:35Ta-ta, Tutu.
21:38Stone the Flaming Cruz!
21:40My life is over!
21:42Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
21:45Oh, oh, oh.
21:48There's only one thing left for me to do.
21:53Oh Pit Crew!
21:55Oh Pit Crew!
22:00There's only one thing left for me to do.
22:04Go to TAFE for land making.
22:06But until then, oh Pit Crew!
22:13Oh Pit Crew.
22:16And that's a cut!
22:18How did that feel?
22:20I loved it. It was good. I really enjoyed it.
22:22You really felt like you were in the scene?
22:23I felt like Meryl Streep.
22:25Yes!
22:26We really enjoyed it.
22:28Don't call us. Do not call us.
22:30I don't have fun!
22:32I think it's a little one note.
22:34Pizza truck!
22:36Thank you very much.
22:38That was a real wild ride.
22:40Well look!
22:41You took a different interpretation of the script as some of the other girls, I'll be honest.
22:45Would you say it was too, too much?
22:47It was, it was far too, too much at the same time.
22:50That's what I was going for.
22:53Did I get the role?
22:54My mum's gonna be so proud!
22:56We will call you no.
22:58It is another, there is another three levels.
23:00Thank you, Nikita. Thank you.
23:02I'll call you.
23:02No, no, you can leave now. Thank you.
23:05Leave the breath.
23:07Okay.
23:08No, no, you don't.
23:08Okay.
23:11We'll call you.
23:18I'm just a baby.
23:20I really hope I got it.
23:22So it's a new day in the workroom.
23:24Acting challenge done.
23:25Yeah, I don't know how the hell yesterday went, to be completely honest.
23:29And Vibe has been replaced by her evil sister.
23:32Bad Vibe.
23:33You have been really quiet.
23:35So quiet.
23:36And it's like kind of scary because usually you're the loudest person.
23:39Yeah, I know.
23:39She's sad.
23:40She's sullen.
23:41She's brooding.
23:42It's every teenager in 2009.
23:44I don't know why this is happening.
23:45It's that thing of like, you go home and you stew on like the pros and the cons.
23:48And at the end of the day, like we don't know what was fucking captured.
23:52You know what I mean?
23:53The acting challenge was one of the challenges I was looking forward to the most in doing.
23:57And I'm worried that I'm in trouble this week.
24:02Do you think you did the best you could?
24:04Absolutely not.
24:04Oh, really?
24:05No.
24:05I feel like that's because I stewed, got in my head and fucked myself up.
24:10So.
24:11You on a bad day is us firing on all ten cylinders.
24:15Yeah.
24:15And it's true you are.
24:16Did she light the set on fire?
24:18Did she slap Reece Nicholson's mother across the face?
24:21Like what happened?
24:23Not knowing how we all went is so trippy and like having to wait.
24:27Yeah.
24:27I had a wig and I just went for it.
24:29Hey.
24:30Story of my life.
24:30Yeah.
24:31Max, how are you feeling about it all?
24:33Um, I think y'all could feel yesterday that my energy coming off of last week was just,
24:38I was really deflated.
24:39I have nothing left to lose.
24:40I was like, I'm just going to go ham.
24:42I'm going to be stupid.
24:42I'm going to have fun with Reece.
24:43I truly think that I gave it my all.
24:46I got laughs, but I think they were probably laughing at the wrong things.
24:50No.
24:51I always say the best time to start acting is on national television.
24:55Yeah.
24:56I'm still waiting on my call back from Reece.
24:58I feel like it may be the time difference or something, but I feel like it's coming.
25:02I feel like I got the role.
25:03I mean, I have a good feeling.
25:06All right.
25:07Let's put it on.
25:08Let's do it.
25:09Let's put it on.
25:12Let's do it.
25:13Hi, B.
25:14How are you feeling?
25:15You're good.
25:16It's honestly so weird to just not have your voice around, you know what I mean?
25:20Yeah.
25:20It normally like fills the room and fills our hearts.
25:22No, I know.
25:23I'm actively trying not to overthink.
25:26It was a bit of a shock to the system to see vibes so down.
25:30I'm not wanting to go anytime soon, but I'm very excited at the thought that it also means
25:36seeing the girls again.
25:37Your little drag family.
25:39I did see the photos out.
25:40The last time I spent this much time away from any of them was when Coco came and did
25:46this show.
25:47I fucking miss them so much.
25:48I've had Coco and Ivy and Ruma especially with me for over 12 years.
25:53I'm definitely missing them.
25:55Absolutely.
25:56But Coco, she would just say, get the fuck out of your head.
25:58The only thing that can fuck me up here is me.
26:02I'm ready for a trip.
26:03Yeah.
26:04I'm ready for a holiday.
26:05Same.
26:05Do you do full time drag lazy or do you have another job?
26:08I used to.
26:10I literally just quit my job like earlier last year.
26:14Yeah.
26:14I worked in advertising, but in 2020, my mum had like been sick for a while with cancer.
26:23Aw.
26:23She died.
26:25I'm sorry to hear baby.
26:27Oh God.
26:27It's like COVID was kicking off, but like we were in a whole separate world.
26:31Yeah.
26:32Yeah.
26:32You're not really ready to see someone that is like so central to your life suddenly
26:40not there.
26:41It's truly, truly the worst.
26:44Like before my mum died, she was like, you need to go and like actually just let the world
26:51know, like just do something with yourself.
26:53Uh huh.
26:54Um, because like there's nothing that can stop you except for just not giving yourself permission.
26:59Uh huh.
27:00When you become so aware of like how short it is, the time that we have, you're like,
27:05why are we wasting our time doing anything except for the thing that we want to do?
27:09I think I just took that as permission to pursue my creative shit.
27:14Yeah.
27:15And it was so like scary.
27:17It's been so scary.
27:18Yeah.
27:18And then suddenly this like call comes and they're like, Oh, can you come and come and
27:24do drag on TV and like actually get to show more people your shit.
27:28And like, that's exactly what I needed.
27:30I think my mum would be really proud that I'm here.
27:33And I think she'd be so relieved that, that at least there's this, it's like really weird
27:39now.
27:39Every time something goes right or like you meet, like when I met my boyfriend or like anything
27:45like that, I like want to call her and tell her and be like, like this, you know, it's
27:51like that person is gone.
27:53Yeah.
27:53And she doesn't get to see it.
27:54No.
27:55So it's like, I don't know.
27:57I'm just going to hear my name.
27:58Like, you know, it's good.
27:59She'd fucking love this.
28:00Yeah.
28:01She would.
28:02Without getting hippy dippy or whatever the fuck.
28:04I feel like very watched over in a kind of way.
28:10Welcome to the main stage of Drag Race Down Under.
28:12Playing the role of a great star that's about to be replaced by a younger queen.
28:18It's Isis Avis Loren.
28:21I'm ready for my close up, Mr. Visage.
28:26Playing the role of a lovable taxi driver and minister society.
28:30It's Rhys Nicholson.
28:32You talking to me?
28:34Are you, are you talking, Michelle, are you talking, are you talking?
28:36Are you talking?
28:37Is anyone, can someone please talk to me?
28:39Please.
28:39And for one night only, reprising his role of Laurie, the dolphin trainer, on H2O Just Add Water, it's Matt
28:48O'Kine.
28:49I am flippin' excited to be here.
28:51We got a straight one, Michelle.
28:53We got a straight one.
28:54We are so happy that you're here, Matt.
28:56This week, we challenged our queens to compete with a starring role in the new soap.
29:02Flat-a-pussies on fire.
29:04And tonight on the runway, category is Liquid Dreams.
29:08Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win!
29:13Cause you're a star baby!
29:17Category is Liquid Dreams.
29:19Up first.
29:21Five.
29:22Ooh, look, it's the creature from the Black Dragoon.
29:25I know I've given you very glamour and very camp this entire season, but I'm getting dark, ooky, and spooky.
29:31Wasn't I saying just the other day, vinyl is back.
29:34It is, Rhys!
29:35I wanted to imagine what it would look like if my body was lifted out of this disgusting oil slick,
29:41suffocating my body as we go.
29:43I never got to see the movie, Tar, did you?
29:48Lazy Susan!
29:50She never mentioned she could do tap.
29:52I'll have a pale ale if you're serving.
29:58Ow!
29:59She's wetting herself!
30:03I love a special effect on the runway, I love to make a moment, and this is my favourite trick.
30:08Wow!
30:09When it gets wet, the colours change.
30:12She's brought to life.
30:14Oh good, my pill's kicking in.
30:17I'm giving you acid fantasy, I'm giving you the third day at Meredith, and the colours start to bleed.
30:22I've heard being into water sports, but this is ridiculous.
30:25Nikita Iman.
30:27The tide is low, but the hemline is high.
30:30I can see your C-section.
30:33I'm wearing a beautiful dress that was passed down by my drag mother.
30:38Serving it to you down the runway nice and slowly so all the judges can eat it up.
30:43The tide's slow this time of year.
30:46I'm giving you the beautiful colours of the water with an amazing sculptural umbrella headpiece.
30:53Now that's what I call an eroding beach line.
30:59Mandy moves!
31:01Silver?
31:02I don't even know her!
31:04I'm serving an illusion of a puddle that's just been hit with a stone.
31:10Ta-da!
31:13The tree's spiralling!
31:15I think it's a lot like my dishwasher at home, it's a whirlpool.
31:18I really wanted to give a different silhouette this week.
31:20It's giving you a little bit of old glamour, a bit of old Hollywood, and I just feel classy.
31:25You heard of a puddle skirt?
31:27This is a puddle skirt!
31:31Freya Armani!
31:32It's Little Hope Peep!
31:34I am serving you ancient water spirits couture, honey!
31:38I've got my blue and purple hues in this gorgeous dress and beautiful little silver petals dripping down her hair.
31:46I'm getting Barney the dinosaur vibes.
31:50You can't tell me a thing in this. I mean, liquid dreams down, isn't it?
31:55Purple rain needs purple puddles.
31:59Max Drag Queen!
32:00I've heard of a pearl necklace, but this is ridiculous.
32:04Tonight on the runway, I am fucking wet!
32:07I am walking down as a fashion masculatory omission.
32:12I don't know what she said, but someone definitely threw a drink in her face.
32:15I feel really elevated. I feel really glamorous and really expensive.
32:20All the while representing my favourite thing in the world.
32:25Come. No.
32:27Aim for my tits.
32:29Oh my God!
32:35Yorah Queen!
32:36Yorah!
32:37Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy!
32:39Oi oi oi!
32:41It's time for the judges critiques.
32:44Starting with...
32:45Vibe!
32:46This look tonight, you're like severe dark beauty and I fucking love it.
32:51I love a look that is both sexy and what makes me want to call Greenpeace.
32:55I would have liked to see a little bit more intent with the drapery around the edges.
33:01It just...
33:03What, what, why?
33:03I love it.
33:04It's just very fancy.
33:05I love a straight man with opinions.
33:08I say this very kindly.
33:12There was just the tiniest moment that made me think it's someone who's stepped out of the toilet with toilet
33:20paper still on their shoe.
33:21You got it.
33:22So, what's so fun...
33:24What's so funny, Rhys?
33:24No, I love it.
33:25I love it.
33:26I've never had a guest judge just go in so much.
33:28I'm very into it.
33:29You want my opinion or what?
33:31In the challenge, you were relying on props a little bit and focusing less on the character.
33:37Not a train wreck, but just didn't quite get there.
33:40I just thought it was not as funny as I thought you would be.
33:43Does that resonate with you?
33:45Yeah, I've realized I'm much better at improv.
33:47I know this is hard to believe, but Drag Race scripts are not Shakespeare.
33:52Yeah, I know.
33:53I can't.
33:55So, feel free to always make them your own.
33:57Lazy Susan!
33:59You kept your character the whole way through.
34:01You didn't drop your accent once.
34:02It was a lot of fun working with you.
34:05You added on top of the lines, showing us levels and layers.
34:10Smart on the runway.
34:11Again, fashion and technology melding into one.
34:15So, so cool.
34:16How did you think of this?
34:18I've always heard of this ink that goes clear when it gets dry.
34:21And so I built everything backwards from there.
34:23This is my design.
34:24Oh, wow.
34:25Wow.
34:28Nikita!
34:29I love the textures, the colors.
34:32It's wonderful.
34:32With the challenge though, we saw you struggle a little bit.
34:36We were having these little jokes in between.
34:38You were funny and you were sharp.
34:40And then we went back into the actual challenge.
34:42I think you were just taking it a little bit too seriously.
34:44This look on the runway.
34:46I want you to tell me about it.
34:47I brought it as a backup and I am glad that I was able to wear it because it is
34:51something that was passed down to me by who I consider my mother of drag.
34:55It's beautiful and the hairstyle is so gorgeous.
35:00I'm not sure it screams liquid dreams.
35:02Up next, Mandy Moves.
35:05This is a really wonderful caftan moomoo moment.
35:09But when you're spinning, a couple of times I could see your undergarments.
35:12But the texture is gorgeous.
35:14I love the way that it sort of shimmers in the light.
35:18With the performance, yeah, there's choices.
35:20And then there's deciding that a character is an adult baby.
35:25It was a risk, wasn't it?
35:26Yeah.
35:27Yeah.
35:28It kind of tied you to kind of one idea.
35:31I encourage you all to really go for it.
35:34There is no such thing as too big on drag race.
35:37Did you have a good time?
35:38I really did.
35:39The only struggling I had was just with the lines.
35:42I've got a very smooth brain at times and I just did not sink in at all.
35:46Were your skulls still developing?
35:47Yeah, yeah.
35:50Freya Armani.
35:51The light, the playing of the fabrics is gorgeous, but it didn't scream liquid dream to me, but it's a
35:58beautiful garment.
35:59As for the challenge, the choices you made were really hilarious.
36:03You created a whole different meaning to the scene.
36:06Your timing, when you did flop down onto the floor, it's brave to give that silence for that long.
36:14I was actually really impressed.
36:15I thought you did a wonderful job.
36:17Tonight, I didn't get liquid dreams, but I got beautiful.
36:19Thank you, Michelle.
36:20Max Dry Queen.
36:22This is 10 out of 10 stunning.
36:25In the challenge, sometimes you will confuse funny with loud.
36:29It was not a slam dunk.
36:31It was very one note.
36:33There has to be levels.
36:34I wanted to see you respond to what Reese was giving you in a different way.
36:38So you can give us those different sides of Max the actress.
36:43We never got off level one with the runway.
36:46I think frosted fabric on the bottom is just beautiful.
36:48You really know what you're doing.
36:51Thank you, Queens.
36:52I think we've heard enough.
36:54While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate.
37:00Oh my god.
37:02Yay, let's get a drink.
37:03I'll have the pink straw.
37:06I don't think anyone knows how to decipher what we just heard.
37:13How is everyone in the room feeling?
37:16I'm confused.
37:19I'm really confused.
37:20Ultimately, I know that Michelle thought that my performance was one level.
37:26I'll have to watch it back to agree with her.
37:28But for right now, I'm a little bit confused and Nikita doesn't know if she's lip syncing.
37:32Well, yes, she does.
37:33I think I'm definitely lip syncing tonight.
37:36But for some reason, I don't feel negative about it because I'm proud of myself for stepping
37:40out of my comfort zone and really kind of just doing something that I've never done before.
37:45I'm not surprised by the critiques.
37:47I mean, she's not an actress, obviously.
37:50Who do you think is in the top?
37:52Lazy for sure.
37:53I hope so.
37:54I think it's lazy.
37:55Yeah.
37:56Definitely.
37:56I felt like I disappeared in the competition for a second there and now it does feel like
38:01I'm back.
38:01Yeah, it's definitely between you two.
38:03I think that's very much the top and then it just gets confusing.
38:06Well, I guess it's me and Nikita.
38:09I don't know.
38:09It's between like quirky decision, one note, lip syncing and just wanting to train Becca
38:17wasn't bad.
38:19I lacked character, which was, you know, the opposite of what I've done this whole competition.
38:25Oh, fuck me.
38:26This is brutal.
38:27I haven't gone through this process of being up for debate.
38:32Vibe, it would be insane if you went home.
38:35And like, we didn't get to see each other's.
38:36That's the thing.
38:37We're literally one week out from finale.
38:39Just doing a good job is now not enough.
38:42With that being said, should we learn the song?
38:45I'm finding it really, really hard to navigate what I'm feeling right now.
38:50Well, Lazy's never been below safe.
38:52So maybe we should throw her into the bottom.
38:54Yeah.
38:55This is for saying you don't like my couture gown, bitch.
38:57Ah!
38:58Ah!
38:58No!
39:00I just know that I need to prepare myself for what's to come next.
39:03You're fucking ugly.
39:05Ah!
39:05Ah!
39:07There is not a second in this song that I haven't committed to memory.
39:10I thought Linda was a better name!
39:12Ah!
39:12Ah!
39:13If I can get a safe, I'll fucking take it.
39:15But if not, get ready for a shot.
39:20Ah!
39:21Now, just between us platypussies on fire, what do you think?
39:26Starting with?
39:28Vibe.
39:28That shit looks so ferociously fierce.
39:30The look on the runway hit you straight in the face.
39:33She's always so vibrant and full of color.
39:35Really great to see another side to vibe.
39:37In the challenge, she kind of was doubting herself at the moments when she really shouldn't have been.
39:42I feel like I would remember her for something because she was a good actor.
39:46Did she get this part?
39:47No.
39:49Lazy Susan!
39:50She gave us a shot.
39:52Something really out of left field, really ingenious.
39:54And listen, if you put her electrical mask with this look tonight, she would have exploded.
40:00In the acting challenge, she made a bold choice with the Eastern European character and I appreciated it.
40:05She gave us levels.
40:07I thought tonight she was dynamic.
40:09Nikita Iman.
40:10The dress left a little bit to be desired, but it was very creative.
40:14She said this dress was a backup choice and I think that kind of showed a little bit.
40:17It's wonderful that it's a legacy piece.
40:19I love a legacy piece.
40:20This jacket belonged to my neighbor.
40:21He was buried in it.
40:23Speaking of Shovel and Spade.
40:24Yes?
40:25I think in the challenge, it's a lot of energy.
40:28I almost want to tell her, sometimes the best acting is bringing yourself into the character.
40:32I'm a terrible, terrible actor.
40:34No, you're not.
40:34But I've played myself in some wonderful other people's costumes.
40:38You're a terrible person.
40:39You're a great actor.
40:42Watching her pulling her hair out made me want to pull my hair out.
40:45It was very frustrating to watch.
40:48I'm going to say that Nikita might be in a little bit of trouble.
40:51Oh, okay then.
40:54Mandy moves.
40:56Again, we could see the cogs turning trying to maneuver this character and put it into the situation.
41:02Mandy made a choice that I think said RIP to her chances of getting this role.
41:09The runway though, this Moo Moo was maximalist.
41:13I don't think the undergarments were obvious until she twirled, but all angles should be taken into consideration for sure.
41:19I wish Rhys would wear a few more undergarments.
41:21I'm wearing a diaper.
41:22Oh, that's good.
41:23Is that an undergarment?
41:23Yeah, that's good.
41:24Freya Armani.
41:25She really lent into her character and it paid off.
41:28She made these comedy choices, you know, flipped the whole script on it and I think that was really smart.
41:33I was a bit iffy around some of the sillier choices that she made.
41:39Doing this.
41:40She came in on the ground floor and she kept taking the elevator up.
41:44Max, drag queen.
41:45I think sometimes these very beautiful girls can confuse funny with loud.
41:50I was trying to pull more out of her and she kept kind of putting the kind of block up
41:53of like, no, these are the choices I've made.
41:55Max on the runway, as always, absolutely stunning.
41:58I have so much love for Max, but for me in the challenge, she missed the mark.
42:03I just feel like I-
42:05All right, shut it.
42:07Sounds like we've made a decision.
42:09Bring back our queens.
42:13Welcome back queens.
