00:03Walking back into the workroom, it is sad to see my sister go.
00:07Thank you guys for being my home away from home.
00:10Love you all.
00:12Love you, Max.
00:12Love you, Max.
00:14You fucking did it.
00:15But I do feel that she left on a high, and she should be so proud of herself because
00:19of what she's done in this competition.
00:21To be able to come here after what she has gone through this year.
00:26Honestly, I don't know how she did it.
00:27She will be missed.
00:29Absolutely.
00:30How do you feel, baby?
00:34Sad.
00:38We just connected really quick.
00:42I'm really going to miss Max's energy in the room.
00:45They were a fierce competitor in this competition.
00:48Love you, Max.
00:50Love you, Max.
00:51You're getting good at that, Nikita.
00:53Girl, this is only fucking second time I've done it.
00:55Shut up.
00:56Yeah, yeah.
00:57Let's have a little sip.
00:59Do you want me to cut that off a bit?
01:00Oh.
01:02Well, congratulations, Lacey.
01:04Well done.
01:05The curse is back.
01:08Oh, for me, number three.
01:11Wait, let me just put that on top there.
01:15Oh, but you know what?
01:16A huge congratulations to you, baby.
01:17When they called your name, I was like, I know.
01:20This is my second week in the top in a row.
01:22Oh, so now I'm understanding the edging, and normally I'm okay with that, but not here.
01:27Do you like edging more or bottom edge?
01:30No.
01:32Look, I'm starting to feel the girls' edging frustration.
01:36Can we have both?
01:36I need to get a win.
01:38I need to be in this finale.
01:39There's no way I'm not going to be there.
01:41How do you feel the last Kiwi girl in our meet?
01:43It feels amazing to still be here and still be ripping Tamaki and Altiero down.
01:46It's an amazing opportunity for me to showcase my heritage and where I'm from, but I'm not letting
01:52that pressure get in my head.
01:54Cup five.
01:55We're officially the Spice Girls of Down Under.
01:57Oh.
01:58I just have to knock these bitches out one by one.
02:02Bring it on.
02:03Oh.
02:05Who else do I need to send home?
02:09It's the Nikita shot.
02:13I did it.
02:16Yeah.
02:16And I'll see you at the finale.
02:23Top five, bitch.
02:25Now then.
02:26Oh, gorgeous.
02:28Morena and Stefano.
02:29How are we feeling?
02:31I feel so sad to see Nixie Lee.
02:33I mean, this table feels so much bigger.
02:37A giant, huge, gaping hole left behind by Max.
02:40How are you feeling?
02:43Max is gone, but you know, this is a competition.
02:45I'm here for me.
02:46I want to fucking win so bad.
02:48And it has to be this week.
02:49This is not the time to ease up.
02:51It's time to push the pedals.
02:52My time is now.
02:53I'm ready for whatever comes next.
02:55So, Miss Mandy.
02:56Yes, my darling.
02:57Obviously, we won the sewing challenge.
02:58I did.
02:59And last week, the baby got thrown out with the bathwater.
03:03Yeah, no, the baby's been put up for adoption.
03:05Yes, gorgeous, gorgeous.
03:06Dressing up as an adult baby was an absolute risk.
03:09So, I'm happy that I have another week to show the judges who I am.
03:13I haven't looked sick yet.
03:14You haven't.
03:15You haven't.
03:15Just you two.
03:16Yeah.
03:17Hopefully, the next challenge is something within more my strength.
03:21But if it isn't, I feel like I just need to take the judges' critiques and kind of just really
03:25deliver it.
03:26Well, I've sent two bitches home.
03:27So, make it a third.
03:31I'm not worried about going up against you.
03:35I like ya.
03:38I really do.
03:40Honestly.
03:41As long as it's not lazy this week.
03:43Yes, we're back.
03:44We're back.
03:45Getting into power, the Anyone But Lazy rule.
03:47The ABL rule is back in effect.
03:50ABL.
03:51Anyone but lazy.
03:53I just want to manifest that lazy will be lip syncing this week.
03:57Lazy will be.
03:58Lazy will be lip syncing this week.
04:00Lazy will be lip syncing.
04:01Lazy will be lip syncing.
04:02Lazy will be lip syncing.
04:04You girls are fucking wretched piece of shit.
04:07Oh.
04:08Perfect timing.
04:09All right.
04:09Come in.
04:10Miss Hale.
04:10Miss Hale.
04:13Hello, hello, hello.
04:17We are just one week away from crowning Down Under's next drag superstar.
04:25This week, it all hinges on what this final challenge is.
04:28Who's hungry to win?
04:30I'm starving.
04:31Family.
04:31I'm just generally hungry.
04:33Let me be an idiot one final time before I get to be gorgeous at the finale.
04:38Because for this week's maxi challenge, we're having a roast.
04:42What?
04:43Bitch.
04:44And our person of the hour is comedian, actor, and author, Rhys Nicholson.
04:50Yay!
04:51Yay!
04:52Oh.
04:54I have wanted a roast from the second this competition was announced.
04:57I'm sorry, but I'm getting my solo win this week.
05:00And I'm gonna shit on a bitch to do it.
05:03Later today, you'll workshop with me and the winner of season one, Katie Mee!
05:08Oh, yay!
05:09Tomorrow at the Rhys Roast, we'll be joined by our extra special guest judge,
05:14everybody's favorite Miss Congeniality from season one, Anita Wigley!
05:19Yay!
05:21How exciting!
05:22Lazy Susan, as the winner of last week's challenge, you get to determine the running order.
05:29Let's say walking order.
05:33Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win!
05:42Let's go, let's go!
05:44Time to get nasty.
05:46This week's nasty challenge is a roast.
05:50How are you feeling, ma'am?
05:53Oh, God!
05:56Never done a roast before?
05:57Never been to a roast?
05:59Never seen a roast?
06:00Mandy says she's never seen a roast, which surprised me because this is something that doesn't exist solely in the
06:06drag world.
06:07This is stand-up comedy.
06:08This is delivering a joke and a read.
06:11I've never done a roast.
06:14I'm a little bit nervous, but I'm excited to do it.
06:18Something new, isn't it?
06:19I know, it's just something completely new.
06:21I think I'm funny, but I'm funny because I say dumb shit.
06:25To sit down and write jokes is very much out of my comfort zone.
06:30Lazy, are you like over the moon?
06:32Do you like, is this your thing?
06:33I love a roast.
06:34I feel like I really need to prove that I can be a hateful bitch again.
06:38You've proven it to us!
06:38Yeah, we can see it.
06:41News to no one, my big competition in this challenge will be Vibe.
06:46There are three wins on my back and one on hers, and I'm sure she'd like to just balance the
06:49credit scores a little bit.
06:51I'm excited to see what the hell you do choosing this order.
06:53I just gotta review my notes from the morning.
06:56This, um, what was it, ABL?
07:01And remember who came up with that?
07:02I was not a part of that.
07:03It was Vibe!
07:05Ah!
07:06Suddenly, Lazy Susan has a lot of friends in this room.
07:09One to five, what do you want?
07:10Two.
07:11I would love to go first or second.
07:14My dear, sweet, winless Freya.
07:17I would love third.
07:19I've been strategic.
07:20I said third because Nikita wanted to go second.
07:23So if I go after a train wreck, then I'll look even better.
07:28Vibe.
07:29Put me either after or before someone who you think will go horrible.
07:36Well, I'm gonna stew.
07:37So you're just giving us a we shall see.
07:39We shall see.
07:42Keita, what's your favorite Sunday roast?
07:44Well, on a Sunday, I've always quite enjoyed pork in my mouth.
07:47I like pork in my mouth, too.
07:49Only not the pig.
07:52So you like pork seven days a week?
07:54You know, more on a Sunday.
07:56It is the Lord's Day after all.
07:57And it's divine.
08:01Ah!
08:03Good morning, good morning.
08:04Vibe, are you a host?
08:06Yes.
08:07I used to be deathly afraid of hosting.
08:09But when I started drag, like, you have to put your comfort aside
08:13and entertain a room now.
08:15I'm confident in hosting and I think life is one big improv challenge.
08:19Give us a little bit, Vibe.
08:20Let's see, I don't want to reveal too much.
08:23Understood.
08:23Lazy Susan has the face of a Tupperware container
08:26that you just realized wasn't dishwasher safe.
08:29Freya, your skill at crafting a joke is comparable to your performance on the sewing challenge.
08:34Oh!
08:34Seamless.
08:37I think you know how far you can take it and that is good.
08:42I know you're saving a lot.
08:43Yes.
08:44And I respect that, because I want you to, because then the laugh is more natural for us.
08:48You know, you are seasoned.
08:49You can tell.
08:50And we love a seasoned roast.
08:51It's that much more delicious.
08:52It does.
08:52It's not just salt and pepper here.
08:53It's the garlic salt.
08:55We've got the onion powder.
08:56It's all of it.
08:56Yes!
08:57Remember, it can't be too far.
08:58If it's funny, I'm looking forward to everything that you're going to bring us.
09:03See you tomorrow.
09:03Bye-bye!
09:06Freya Armani!
09:08We want to know what you've got so far.
09:10Reese is also now an author, releasing their first book.
09:13Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.
09:14And after the reviews came in, it will now be their last book.
09:18Okay.
09:20Middle ground, not funny, no?
09:22Cute, cute.
09:22It's like, it's a little zing.
09:24It's not a...
09:25Stab him.
09:26What you've got there, I can see, has the potential to be very funny.
09:31Don't play it safe.
09:32I don't want to.
09:33Speaking of safe, you've been safe most of the season.
09:37Not trying to make you feel bad.
09:38No, I know.
09:39This is your chance.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Be a shady bitch.
09:42That I can do.
09:42I know!
09:44And I know you're funny, and you're funnier than those.
09:46Thank you, thank you both.
09:47Good to see you.
09:47Check it, sis.
09:50I'm a bitchy, sir.
09:51Yeah, I'm concerned too.
09:53Had to go.
09:54They said, okay, it was cute, it wasn't that funny, make it funnier.
09:58Cute is not what you want to go for for a roast.
10:00It wasn't, like, bitey enough.
10:02I am not feeling the best, but I can't let the girls know.
10:06I'm not, like, taken aback by those cheeks at all.
10:11If they sense a sign of weakness, they might make it a part of their roast.
10:14So, I feel like I kind of have to, you know, just say, I got this!
10:17And if they're, like, you can be funnier, then great, I will do that.
10:22Everything's gonna be fine!
10:25Hello, Mandy Moobs.
10:26Hi.
10:26Are you ready to be shady?
10:28Sort of? Kind of?
10:30I don't believe you.
10:31This one thing is, like, the one thing I didn't want to do.
10:34Let that go!
10:36I'm like, this is my biggest hurdle, right before the one place I want to be.
10:39Face that hurdle, Mandy!
10:40Yeah.
10:41I've been so worried about all the other girls and what they've been doing
10:44that I've sort of just gone inside myself.
10:47Don't get thrown off your game now in the top five.
10:49It's not gonna serve you.
10:51Nah.
10:51Like, I do host a show back home, so I'm more than comfortable just going off the cuff.
10:57It's just the structure and, like, writing the jokes.
10:59Yeah, again, I think you're overthinking it, I think you know what to do.
11:02Maybe.
11:03I have, like, a few dozen pages.
11:07Oh!
11:08A few dozen pages!
11:09So, I want to introduce how Max has left a big hole in this competition,
11:14speaking of Freya.
11:16I'm gonna talk about Freya's hole.
11:17Like, at the start it was the size I've got to be,
11:20but now it looks like the same size as the Ozone.
11:22And sort of, like, go down that route.
11:24Speaking of holes, Michelle!
11:26Yay!
11:28You've got pages of content.
11:30Go through it, find the ones that you know are, like, hips,
11:33and then start weeding out the extra.
11:35You don't need to do two whole minutes on gaping holes.
11:38I could.
11:40Mandy could.
11:42I think you know what you need to do,
11:44put your blinders on.
11:45If you run the race and you're looking like this,
11:46you're gonna fall.
11:47Yeah, that's a good analogy.
11:49Good luck.
11:50Hurdles are meant to be jumped.
11:51Yes.
11:52Absolutely. I will.
11:53Thank you! Bye!
11:55Hi!
11:58You ready to roast?
11:59Yeah.
12:01She says with a little trepidation.
12:04I am shitting myself.
12:07I am so nervous.
12:08I mean, you come from ballroom culture.
12:10Yeah.
12:10For me, being raised in the ballroom,
12:12I learned how to read before I learned how to walk or speak.
12:15True.
12:16From the angle of ballroom,
12:18I kind of have an idea of the direction I want to go.
12:20So I'm gonna align a person to the categories to throw shade at them.
12:26Okay.
12:27Like a Reece Nicholson Vogue Knight.
12:29Do you have an example or two?
12:31Our first category of the night is Butch Queen Realness.
12:34This category is dedicated to my brother from another pig mother, Mandy Moobs.
12:43If you're doing this ballroom vibe, give it the voice, give it the energy.
12:49You know, I'm not usually the girls, they go like,
12:52When you did that, you felt and looked so confident.
12:55You know what they look like, you know what they sound like.
12:57Yeah.
12:57You just gotta be that, even though you've never done that role.
13:00Nikita be so pussy, Nikita be so cut.
13:03Nikita brings the flavor, she brings you what you want.
13:07Wow!
13:08See that strength?
13:09Yeah.
13:09That's you have to channel through the whole thing.
13:11I'm gonna really try that.
13:12Okay.
13:13Yeah.
13:13Good luck to you, Nikita.
13:14You're good girl, fuck it up.
13:15Thanks baby.
13:18Lazy Susan has joined us.
13:20Oh my gosh, I'm a bit nervous.
13:22Are you?
13:23Well, this challenge is everything to me.
13:25Like, I already feel a bit salty that I missed out on the reading challenge.
13:28So, to me, this could be the return to grace, you know?
13:33Wow.
13:33Okay, so you're putting pressure on yourself.
13:35Yeah, this is like my sewing challenge for Mandy,
13:37or like the dance challenge for Freya.
13:38Like, me and my sisters, all we do is roast.
13:41Well, I can't wait to see what you've started to jot down.
13:44I'm opening the show.
13:46Oh!
13:46Yeah.
13:47To me, like, being able to set the tone and also have the access to all the jokes
13:50that people are gonna make before they've made them is great.
13:53Okay.
13:53Sliver.
13:54I want that first slot because I'm confident in my ability to do this.
13:58And I also want to be as far away from vibe as possible.
14:01Now, Rhys, you recently released a cookbook.
14:03However, I don't think I'll be taking my nutritional information
14:06from someone who looks like a starving Victorian child.
14:09You look like the little match girl whose three wishes were used to look like
14:12a perimenopausal art teacher.
14:16I have no timing when it comes to dance,
14:18but the sound of a joke and where it needs to land, that I can do.
14:21The jokes are very funny.
14:23You are really starting out strong.
14:26Fabulous.
14:26I can't wait to see what you bring.
14:28Hopefully pudding.
14:36Ladies.
14:37Oh, bitch, okay.
14:39I'm of the opinion that, like, running order can only take you so far.
14:42Yeah.
14:43And if you're gonna fucking suck, you're gonna suck whether you're at the 8.30 slot
14:46or the 9.30 slot.
14:47100%.
14:48As much as my dream is to be a shady cunt, as a group, it's better for the entire feel
14:55if it feels like it has flow and dimension.
14:57So the order is gonna be one, two, three, four, five.
15:05She can put me wherever she wants me.
15:07I know how well I'm gonna do in this challenge.
15:09Let's fucking kill this roast, girlies.
15:11Let's do it.
15:19Who's ready to roast?
15:22It's a new day in the workroom.
15:24It is roast day.
15:25Well, good morning, you shady fucking bitch.
15:27How is everyone feeling?
15:31Yesterday, I was a bit nervous.
15:33You, me, both, girl.
15:34First time ever doing a roast.
15:36For the second I just sat down, I was like, oh, no, this is fine.
15:39The cruelty just flowed out of you.
15:41Kida and Michelle said I have the bones of a good roast.
15:45I've just gotta get it out of my head and just deliver it well.
15:47I feel a lot more confident today and kind of really looking forward to it.
15:52I feel like I have a good structure.
15:54Let's just see with it if I can deliver it.
15:57No matter what happens today, I have to be in this finale, so I'm here to fight.
16:02This is the day that will forever be etched into your Wikipedia page.
16:05Were you fifth out or were you in the finale?
16:08Exactly.
16:13Oh, it's good to laugh with friends.
16:16It's the last time we would be together.
16:18Oh, I didn't realize this was an acting challenge.
16:21Let's get started then, shall we, ladies?
16:23All right, should I shave your back?
16:24Hey, please.
16:25Let's do it.
16:31You know what?
16:32What?
16:32I love a roast.
16:33Who doesn't love to laugh, you know?
16:35I love roast because I feel like that matches Australian humor the best.
16:39Australian humor?
16:40You can get away with so much more.
16:42It's like a C word.
16:43Like when an American says a C word, you're like, oh, you disgusting pig.
16:45It's like, oh, really?
16:46I love you too.
16:49How much of American culture did you experience?
16:53And then when was that shift to like Australian?
16:55I moved here when I was 12.
16:56Yeah.
16:56So like I had already developed enough of an understanding of life that when I moved here,
17:01there was culture shock.
17:03When I think back to the United States, I don't have very fond memories.
17:06My parents wanted to move because if you're not straight, white, male, you know,
17:11if you don't fit all these specific boxes, it's not a safe place for you to live.
17:18Living in an area where there's a lot of crime and a high number of school shootings.
17:24That's so wild.
17:25Yeah.
17:26It's wild to like think about and put myself back there.
17:29It's not something I like to think about too much.
17:32I mean, my dad worked in like high level security in America.
17:37We had a gun in the house.
17:38It was locked in a safe.
17:41I don't think you even realize how that can affect kids.
17:45Yeah.
17:45Like just that there's a weapon in the house and then all the school shootings that happened.
17:49Yeah.
17:51All of a sudden, those alarms are going off and you know, you're getting under your desk.
17:58People have had it way worse.
18:00And they still have it way worse there.
18:04The one thing Australia got right was the aisle gun laws.
18:07What was the reason?
18:08It was a mass shooting in Port Papa.
18:10A man who was very like unwell, like got a hollow gun and went to this like cafe tourist destination
18:16and just killed a bunch of people.
18:19Wow.
18:20You really can be here and then not be here in a moment.
18:24Immediately, a right government outlawed guns.
18:27Everyone was like, yeah, you know what?
18:29No guns for anyone.
18:31I just don't believe in weapons and violence.
18:35You know what I mean?
18:35Like there's just no need for it.
18:38Moving across the world was a fresh start for the family.
18:41And that's when we landed on Brisbane and never looked back.
18:44There was like a moment where I just stopped considering America home.
18:48Yeah.
18:49And I love it here.
18:50I'm really happy that Freya has sort of said like she feels safe, supported and welcome here because she is.
19:02What the bloody hell is happening around here?
19:04Oh my God.
19:06You fucking bastard.
19:07Oh my goodness.
19:10I'm having flashbacks.
19:14I think I'm a dreadful.
19:17That probably doesn't help that I'm sewing plastic.
19:21Orgasming in front of RuPaul.
19:24My goodness, we struggled, didn't we?
19:31Finished.
19:34Oh my goodness gracious me.
19:36I hear the smooth, dulcet tones of Maxine Maureen Shields stomping into the workroom.
19:41Top five.
19:42Oh my gosh.
19:44We're around a very consummate professional.
19:47Giant tits.
19:49So I thought you took Ariel's voice.
19:51Why is yours also...
19:53No, we've just completed Mardi Gras.
19:55Fuck.
19:55You poor bitch.
19:57So what's the challenge today?
19:58We're roasting Reese Nicholson.
20:00Yes.
20:01Be smart about it.
20:03We love a fart joke, we love a shit joke,
20:05but we're also lifting it up to drag race standard.
20:09Maxie, if you could have roasted your season one sisters,
20:12do you have any choice words you could share?
20:14No, I think Reddit's done that all.
20:18But I'm not going to take up any more time.
20:20Congratulations girls, have a fabulous roast.
20:22Thank you Maxie.
20:30Well, well, well, as Julia Child would say, bon appetit bitch, it's time for a roast.
20:35Welcome to the main stage of Drag Race Down Under.
20:38Ketamine, our season one winner.
20:41How do you like your roast?
20:43I like my roast extra crunchy.
20:46Kind of like Anita Wiglet's makeup.
20:48Ooh.
20:50True.
20:51Reese Nicholson, any advice for the queens?
20:54I say either go hard or go home.
20:57But if you are hard for longer than four hours, do seek medical attention.
21:01Ow.
21:02I got about 40 minutes left.
21:06And our extra special guest judge, Anita Wiglet.
21:09Welcome, darling.
21:11You know, the last time I was at a roast with Reese and Keena, I got pregnant.
21:15Me too.
21:18This week, we challenged our queens to royally roast our very own Reese Nicholson.
21:23And tonight on the runway, category is Cape Fierce.
21:28Racers, start your engines.
21:31And may the best drag queen win.
21:38Welcome to the Reese Roast.
21:41First up, she's here to take us for a spin.
21:45It's Lazy Susan.
21:50We are here tonight to take part in a time-honored tradition, insulting Reese Nicholson.
21:56This was a tradition that was started 33 years ago by genetics.
22:02Now, Reese, tonight you'll be read more times than your books.
22:06Five.
22:07I would be remiss if I didn't recognize our incredible judging panel,
22:12otherwise known as what happens when Joel Creasy and RuPaul are busy.
22:18We've got the incredible Anita Wiglet, star of Drag Race Down Under and Canada vs. the World.
22:24They tried to send you home on two continents.
22:26You are the Julian Assange of drag.
22:31Michelle, I'm so glad you're here tonight because it is the only way we can know if Madonna is safe.
22:39But tonight, Reese, they're going to say awful things about you.
22:42They're going to mock your pale skin, your red hair, your lisp, your frail body, but you can't listen to
22:48them because you also have tiny weird ears.
22:54I'd like to introduce you to our next roaster.
22:56She is our ballroom diva.
22:58She always gets tens, tens, tens.
23:00Unfortunately, the test is out of a hundred.
23:03Give it up, Nikita Iman.
23:05Give it up!
23:06Give it up!
23:08Give it up!
23:11Give it up!
23:15Tana Falaba and welcome to Down Under's first Vogue Night.
23:20Now, Reese, I know that you're so into voguing right now, but it's a dip, not a death drop.
23:25So together, please.
23:26It's a dip, not a death drop.
23:29Period.
23:32Nikita is... she's trying.
23:34Category is body-yaddy-yaddy.
23:36Now, bring it in a Ketamine effect with a theme of draping based on her skin after her gastro bypass.
23:47I think she's flying the plane. I just don't know if it's landing anywhere.
23:51And now, talking about Keta's useless excess skin that's been weighing her down, it's Anita Wiggler!
23:59Reese, do you know what we call you in the community?
24:01No.
24:02A chop.
24:06We've actually got a very special Vogue performance tonight by Reese Nicholson.
24:10So everybody, please jump in and support our little Tay Dem.
24:14Reese brings the pussy. Reese brings the stance.
24:18They bring the humour that no one wants.
24:23Yeah, thank you.
24:25Oh, up next is Freya. Sorry, she's so forgettable.
24:31Thank you, thank you.
24:32Firstly, I want to thank you for having me at this event that I totally wanted to be here for.
24:39You know, Nikita is so dumb that when Mandy said her and her partner were poly, Nikita said,
24:43Oh, yo, what island are you guys from?
24:49You know, being the only Middle Eastern queen here is great, except whenever we talk about Nikita bombing the acting
24:54and comedy challenges, somehow I'm the one who gets strip searched.
24:59Vibe is here, everyone.
25:01Oh, yes.
25:02Vibe is so ethnically ambiguous, she somehow looks like Jennifer Coolidge and Kim Jong-un all at once.
25:09Now to the lesbian of the hour, Reese Nicholson, drag race judge in Down Under for since season one.
25:15So it comes to no surprise that RuPaul did not want to come back here.
25:20Which reminds me, Reese is such a feminine white twink that they could have replaced Max at any point in
25:24this competition and no one would have noticed.
25:27Oh, thank you.
25:28You know, but this is all in good fun, Reese. You know, we all adore you, but I just want
25:32you to remember tonight, what doesn't kill you disappoints me.
25:41Up next, hide your penises and unclench those fists because she's going to dig deep. It's Mandy Moon!
25:49I've always been partial to a little bit of a spit roast myself, so I'm really going to enjoy this.
25:55I've decided to start off with a few of the lesser known queens just to warm myself up.
26:00Anita Wiggler.
26:03Reese, I haven't forgotten about you my darling.
26:05From the shoulders up, you remind me of a semi-sun-dried tomato.
26:10From the shoulders down, you remind me of a twink that just hasn't let go.
26:16You're the type of gay if we go bear cruising.
26:19Like I would bring lube or show tunes and you would bring Manuka honey.
26:26Oh, I thought that was funny. Alright.
26:28I can see the faces of the judges and they're just getting so lost.
26:33You're such an innocent soul that you select blouse on a dating app because tops and bottoms just don't seem
26:39right.
26:39Aww.
26:40I just want this to be over.
26:43Now, what I'm trying to say is you're the femme energy that this judging panel needs.
26:48Now, it's my honour to welcome our next roaster.
26:51They are the PSC of the year, the person of colour.
26:54No.
26:55The person of cholesterol.
26:56It is Vi!
26:59Yay!
27:00Thank you so much Mandy Moobs.
27:02I do find it funny that as our seamstress extraordinaire, you struggled to sew together both the joke and the
27:07punchline.
27:10Let's hear it for Nikita.
27:12Up until we opened the library on week five, that was the first time in her life that reading actually
27:16has been fundamental.
27:17Oh!
27:19Kidamine!
27:20It's so exciting to see you both here.
27:22You and your underbite.
27:26Now, I didn't think it was possible, but we managed to find the one person that's been surrounded by semen
27:30more than Michelle Visage.
27:32No!
27:32It's Anita Nosejop.
27:33Fuck, sorry, sorry.
27:35No, no, no.
27:36It's Anita Husband.
27:37Oh.
27:39Sorry, it's Anita Wiggler.
27:41Hi.
27:42Rhys, I actually happened to see you as the MC of Down Under.
27:46In this instance, though, MC stands for Malnourished Child.
27:51Rhys is so pale, their foundation shade is A4.
27:55Whenever Rhys pops up on screen, I anxiously wait by the phone for that,
27:58you're gonna die in seven days phone call.
28:01Now, it is about time that we round out this roast, so I just want to say a huge thanks
28:04to you, Rhys.
28:05Normally, I would say goodnight, but you represent my sleep paralysis demon twink.
28:10So instead, I'll say to you, see you soon, slender them.
28:15Hey, hey, hey!
28:17Hey, hey, hey, hey!
28:19Hey, hey, hey!
28:21Hey, hey!
28:22You're a star, baby!
28:23Get your star!
28:25Are you celebrating Arena in Z invited Cate?
28:27Pierce. A first, Lazy Susan. Blue Velvet, if you please.
28:34Tonight on the runway, I am giving you a full, glamorous, beautiful Chesterfield sofa.
28:41And as I turn, I reveal the stunning cape behind me.
28:46You know what kind of cat that is?
28:47What kind?
28:47Persian.
28:48I'm giving you my full rugrat fantasy.
28:52Now it seems like Tigray the cat is joining all the other bitches who are riding with coattails.
28:57The carpet cannot match the drapes.
29:03Up next, Nikita Iman.
29:06You know what airline she prefers?
29:08Virgin.
29:10On the runway tonight, I am giving you bridal eleganza.
29:15I wanted to give you train.
29:17I wanted to give you asymmetrical cut.
29:20I wanted to give you pearls.
29:21And I also wanted to give an homage to my boyfriend.
29:24Green. This is a little reminder that you need to put a ring on it.
29:29If I had a pearl necklace that big, I'd wear a bib too.
29:34Up next, Freya Armani.
29:37Hombre Poussaint.
29:38This look has a certain ring to it.
29:40Tonight on the runway, I'm giving you post-apocalyptic sandstorm, sand warrior realness.
29:46Let me get into this Middle Eastern heritage and show you guys what it's like to survive in the dune.
29:51It may be the apocalypse, but she will still be serving you fashion at the end of the world, baby.
29:56Oh no, she better dune.
29:59That was me on the weekend.
30:02Up next, Mandy moves.
30:05Horn for her brother.
30:07On the runway, I am serving a little she-devil look.
30:11I have finally shed my skin and I'm showing you my true form.
30:14A little horny bitch.
30:16It was about time that I get to show off my big horns and my gorgeous little legs.
30:21I'm feeling powerful.
30:22I'm feeling sexy in this cape.
30:24It is absolutely stunning.
30:26The devil's in the details.
30:28How in the house you're going to love somebody else?
30:31Up next, Vibe.
30:34Ooh, from the Bob Mackie collection for SeaWorld.
30:39Look, the category is capes.
30:40And I came as a lionfish with a cape.
30:43But this is honestly like a quintessential vibe outfit.
30:46It's that perfect blend of like fantasy and showgirl.
30:49And I'm honestly feeling incredible and untouchable.
30:52And I just feel fucking 10 out of 10.
30:54I own 51% of this fish tank.
30:57Glitter lips.
30:58Hairy tits.
31:02Yorah queens.
31:04Yorah.
31:04Ozzy, ozzy, ozzy.
31:06Oi, oi, oi.
31:07I just wanted to say, my top five dolls, I am so proud of each and every one of you.
31:15Again, this top five is one of the strongest I've seen in a long time and by far, sorry kids,
31:20the strongest down under.
31:22I'm not offended I didn't make it that far.
31:26Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
31:28Up first, Lazy Susan.
31:31This outfit is so camp.
31:34I love it.
31:35The roast, it was absolute hilarity to watch.
31:39The jokes were harsh, but they weren't gratuitous.
31:42Tonight you're going to be read more than your book.
31:44That is a solid joke.
31:45And it's true.
31:47But it doesn't have to be.
31:51Let's talk about this outfit.
31:52It's very Lazy Susan, but it's also almost a glamorous turn.
31:57I decided to dress up pretty for you tonight, Michelle.
31:59You sure did, darling.
32:00And I enjoyed every moment of it because you don't really get the comedy until you turn around,
32:05all like Howard Burnett, hat's hanging on, pizza, you've got all of it.
32:08Which brings us to your comedy.
32:10It was just really well done.
32:13Up next, Nikita Iman.
32:15First of all, congratulations for being the last Kiwi in the lineup.
32:22It feels correct.
32:25The roast, um, how do I put this?
32:31Roasts are hard.
32:32A roast joke is kind of like you say the nasty thing and then through intense logic you make
32:37the joke out of it.
32:38Often we were kind of like missing that second bit.
32:41You were just like, old, fat, lispy, gay.
32:43All right, I'm off.
32:44Bye.
32:46You hit some really funny things.
32:48It just didn't quite get there.
32:50Yeah.
32:51Let's talk about this stunning look.
32:54I kind of wanted to give like a little bit of a bridal groom's wear.
32:58Hopefully my partner gets the nod.
33:00I'm going to put the little ring on it.
33:02Up next, Freya Armani.
33:04Hey, y'all.
33:05Oh, Freya, I love this.
33:08It's so cool.
33:09You kind of look like the Virgin Mary in space.
33:11I love it.
33:13Not only smart to bring some of your Lebanese to it, but also the performative nature of
33:19what you did.
33:20It's young.
33:21It's fresh.
33:22It's Freya.
33:23I'm going to trademark that.
33:24Hang on.
33:25It's young.
33:25It's fresh.
33:25It's Freya.
33:26Sorry.
33:26There you go.
33:28Your Reese roast.
33:29I was so worried.
33:33And then you came out here tonight, and you blew us out of the water.
33:38Yeah.
33:39My one critique is that you were in your cards a lot.
33:43Yeah.
33:43There were some really good roasts in there, Freya.
33:46Thank you so much.
33:47You stepped up to the challenge.
33:49Yeah.
33:50Up next, Mandy Moves.
33:52This outfit is so fabulous.
33:55Drama, movement, stunning.
33:57I love this high priestess look.
33:58I will join this cult in a heartbeat.
34:00Let's talk about the roast.
34:03Oh, God.
34:05I think that you psyched yourself out, Mandy.
34:08I did.
34:09For me, it was kind of like trying to give a drag queen a blowjob.
34:12You got to get through a lot of layers to get to the goods.
34:16There were jokes.
34:18There were definitely jokes, but there was quite like a long buildup.
34:21The note that I wrote down was, too much math.
34:23You said you've never seen a roast.
34:25I just don't enjoy them.
34:27I'd rather just say it straight to your face in like the moment.
34:29It's done with love.
34:31Yes.
34:31You could always watch like the roast of Joan Rivers, the roast of Pamela.
34:35And there's so many brilliant ones that you should watch online because they're not what
34:38you think they are.
34:39Thank you, Mandy.
34:41Up next, Vibe.
34:43I love this outfit.
34:44I feel like if I was like 5 a.m. on Oxford Street and I saw you, I feel like
34:48I'm in the
34:48presence of an angel.
34:50It's beautiful.
34:51In the challenge, being on laughs is hard.
34:54You're at the risk of like setting the tone for our memory of the show.
34:58And I got to say, I'm so glad you did because you smashed.
35:02You just got in there and you dug deep.
35:05The jokes, we didn't even have time to process it because there was another singer straight
35:09away.
35:10My one critique is if you let it breathe a little bit, you're going to hear more of
35:14a laugh.
35:15100%.
35:15And then that outfit has me written all over it.
35:18I thought it would.
35:20It's so good.
35:21We knew that you'd deliver and you did.
35:25Queens, I have one final question for each of you.
35:29Fuck.
35:29Who should go home tonight and why?
35:36Let's start with Lazy Susan.
35:38I think Vibe should go home tonight.
35:40So if you were the judges, you'd send Vibe home.
35:45Oh, Miss Lazy, honey.
35:47I just love that nice open way into the finale.
35:51I get it.
35:52This is a hard top five.
35:53However, when Michelle Visage asks you a question, you answer honestly.
36:00Nikita Iman.
36:01I would say Lazy.
36:03She's got three wins and that's enough.
36:05The question isn't, who do you want to send home?
36:07That's your biggest competition.
36:08It's who should go home next?
36:10Answer the fucking question.
36:14Freya Armani.
36:15Based on tonight's critiques and track record, I'm going to have to say Sister Nikita.
36:22Thank you for your honesty.
36:28Mandy Moves.
36:29Based off the whole competition and your critiques tonight, I will say Nikita.
36:36Vibe.
36:36I would also say Nikita.
36:40Thank you, Queens.
36:42I think we've heard enough.
36:43While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate.
36:48You may leave the stage.
36:53Let's have a drink.
36:55I'm ready to plant my ass.
36:57I need a nice wide space.
36:59Top five.
37:01I mean, coming back into the workroom.
37:03Finally got asked the question from Michelle.
37:06My name was said three times.
37:08I mean, I'm not bothered, but I don't agree with them.
37:11I just looked at everyone on stage right now who has done a lip sync moment the most.
37:16Compete to the girls, yes, I have lip sync more, but my track record has strengthened it.
37:20Like, I've been in the top three times.
37:22I mean, if I had time to prepare for that question, I would say Freya.
37:26I think only based on the fact that everyone here has had a win except for you.
37:29I feel like I'm being constantly underestimated because I don't have a win, but babies, I am here to fight,
37:33and I feel like I've proved that throughout this whole competition.
37:37Freya Armani is the dark horse.
37:38She is someone who I completely underestimated coming into this competition and has turned it out.
37:43She's proven time and time again that she's more than just a pretty face, but my biggest competition is, of
37:48course, my Sydney sister vibe.
37:51Part of the sadistic nature of selecting the order was I wanted to, like, put us both in hard fucking
37:57positions and fight our way out of that paper bag, and I think we both fucking did, and I'm so
38:02proud, but bitch, I think you bested me, and so I think this is your time.
38:05I'm fucking ready for a solo win.
38:08I needed this moment.
38:10Most of my drag career, I had an incredible amount of strength in what I do in drag, but none
38:16of the self-confidence of me out of drag, so I'm really proud of myself.
38:20Literally music to my ears.
38:22Mandy, how are you feeling?
38:23Fucking awful.
38:25This is not the fantasy I wanted.
38:28I just haven't landed in the bottom at all this competition, and it's just the week before the final.
38:33I did a lot worse than what they expected.
38:37You had funny jokes.
38:38They said it was just the timing.
38:40I know I'm fucking incredible.
38:42I just don't want to let people down.
38:45It's not over yet.
38:46I'm not giving up.
38:47Yeah.
38:49I have gotten so close to you, and I absolutely adore and look up to you, but the angel's singing
38:54Debra Holmton.
38:55No.
38:55Oh, my God, true.
38:57Oh, yeah.
38:58That bitch can take that devil back to Brisbane.
39:02You're the one queen that has kept me very humble.
39:05It is going to be quite upsetting to see you go.
39:09Humble.
39:10Yeah.
39:12There is no way you can have a grand finale without Mandy moves.
39:15Okay, girls, let's get ready.
39:19Now, just between us platypuses, what do you think?
39:23Starting with Lazy Susan, she knew exactly what she wanted to say, and it was funny.
39:29You know, it was interesting that she put herself first.
39:31Potentially, she may have shot herself in the foot.
39:34By the time we got to the end, we kind of forgot about Lazy, but on the runway, she's so
39:40about details.
39:41Throughout this competition, I think where Lazy Susan struggles is she's not the best makeup artist, and that kind of
39:46showed tonight, but she is really trying.
39:49So I thought her look tonight was fantastic.
39:52Nikita Iman.
39:53When she's fierce, she's unstoppable, but the moment she's a little bit shaky, she can kind of fall apart.
40:00We saw it in the Snatch Game, we saw it in the Acting Challenge, and we saw it tonight.
40:03She gets nervous, and you can feel it.
40:05In the roast, it's not necessarily a skill in her toolbox, but we are getting towards the end of the
40:09competition.
40:10Tonight on this stage, she looked dynamite, but here we are at the top five, and that roast was not
40:16great.
40:17Freya Armani.
40:18Oh my gosh, I was just so pleasantly surprised.
40:22She did some old school joke jokes, but she made them her own, and I was really proud of her.
40:27I completely forgot she was calling me some horrible names.
40:30You know, after she left her mentoring session, she turned it around.
40:35On the runway tonight, I didn't recognize her when she first came out.
40:38Right?
40:38And I loved that connection to her culture, that's what we love to see on the runway.
40:42This is a 24-year-old kid who put her mind into this whole look, and I loved that.
40:48Mandy Moves.
40:49Her look tonight was stunning.
40:51She thinks about every piece, but when it comes to performing sometimes, I think she overthinks.
40:57My heart broke a bit for Mandy.
40:59I know she is a bit of a softie.
41:00Yeah, she is, isn't she?
41:01She is, but such a talented softie.
41:04Talented softie is what I call my wang.
41:08I just kind of wanted to give her a hug and tell her, you know, you're doing a good job,
41:11but even though you're not into something, you've still got to give it your best shot.
41:14Something really special about Mandy Moves, but tonight just was a tough night.
41:18Vibe.
41:19You can just tell that she does this for a living.
41:23Tonight, she just hammered those jokes, like perfectly.
41:27If you put somebody last, in a way, you're hoping they'll fail and you just did all the
41:30jokes at the top of the show.
41:31But in reality, if they're strong enough, they're going to close with a bang and we're
41:35going to remember them because they were the last thing we saw.
41:37Mm-hmm.
41:37So, Lazy Susan came out and did what she does, and then the runway, wow.
41:43And then Vibe came out and did what she does, and then the runway, wow.
41:48So, these two, it's really hard to determine who's who, what's what tonight, because they
41:53are batting equal?
41:56Is that what batters do?
41:57Yeah.
41:57I don't know.
41:57I've always been more of a catcher.
42:00The only batter I'm used to is on fish.
42:04Got it?
42:06Sounds like we made a decision.
42:09Bring back our queens.
42:16Welcome back, queens.
42:18We've made some decisions.
42:22Vibe.
42:25Lazy Susan.
42:28Tonight, the distance between the two of you is as thin as Reese's lips.
42:39Vibe.
42:40Condragulations.
42:41You're the winner of this week's challenge.
42:43Thank you so, so much.
42:46It's what I've wanted to hear for a while, and especially after being in the bottom the
42:51week before, I could not be happier.
42:53You've won custom prosthetics from BodyFX.
42:57To the value of $3,500.
42:58Oh, I could finally look like Lazy Susan.
43:03And most importantly, you've made it through to next week's grand finale.
43:08Thank you so much.
43:10Lazy Susan, Freya Armani, condragulations.
43:14You are both safe, and you've made it through to the grand finale.
43:22The three of you may step to the back of the stage.
43:25You guys, you got this.
43:31Nikita Iman, Mandy Moves.
43:33I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
43:37I haven't lip-synced once during this competition, so I'm going to give you literally everything.
43:43I am going to be in that grand finale, and nothing's going to stop me.
43:47Two beautiful queens stand before me.
43:51Ladies, this is your last chance to impress the judges and save yourself from elimination.
44:01I've been here before, I've sent two bitches home, I guess Mandy's the third.
44:06Pop the beat, because I'm going to serve it, and sell it, and eat it.
44:11The time has come for you to lip-sync for your life.
44:20Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
44:41Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
45:12Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
