00:00:09I'm Danny Beard, and I am a sassy, shady, singing cartoon clown.
00:00:15The first ever bearded drag queen to be judged by Miss RuPaul feels exciting.
00:00:23Actually, I'm not really that hairy.
00:00:24I'm probably a bit of a disappointment for a bearded queen.
00:00:27It's patchy as fuck.
00:00:31Oh my god.
00:00:33Even though I am from Liverpool, me drag was born in Manchester.
00:00:37I do a 45-minute show of telling crap jokes and singing songs.
00:00:41So in that respect, that's very traditional British drag.
00:00:44But the way I present myself is quite modern.
00:00:47You're a drag queen.
00:00:48I am so excited.
00:00:50This is the Hunger Games of Drag, and I am hungry for that crown.
00:00:54Bring on the queens.
00:01:05Let's ride.
00:01:06Let's go.
00:01:07Let's go.
00:01:08What's your name?
00:01:09I'm Baby.
00:01:10Hey, Baby.
00:01:11I've heard about you from London.
00:01:12I've heard about you.
00:01:13I'm known as one of the best dancers in London right now.
00:01:15So I've kind of built a reputation for being at a certain standard.
00:01:18Giving that fantasy of being one of the girls.
00:01:20That's it.
00:01:21Are you a dancer as well?
00:01:22I can do.
00:01:23Tap, jazz, ballet.
00:01:24Same.
00:01:24Modern.
00:01:25Same.
00:01:26Oh my god.
00:01:29I can't dance for shit.
00:01:30I grew up around such beautiful black women like my cousins were the girls doing their
00:01:34baby hairs.
00:01:34So that's been like the backbone of what do I want to represent.
00:01:37And I want to represent the beauty that I saw around me.
00:01:39This is cute though.
00:01:40You look cute.
00:01:41I wanted to feel like a flowery, like anime princessy type situation.
00:01:46It's in there.
00:01:47It's in there.
00:01:47Leave me.
00:01:48How dare you?
00:01:48I'm joking.
00:01:49I'm joking.
00:01:57They say the camera adds 10 pounds.
00:02:00Probably shouldn't have had so many for breakfast should I?
00:02:02What am I like?
00:02:03I'm Pixie Pillai.
00:02:04I'm 29 years old and I'm British drag cabaret royalty.
00:02:07My love.
00:02:08She was cute.
00:02:09She was very cute.
00:02:10She had a glamour.
00:02:11I work on the pub and club circuits.
00:02:13It's proper old school British drag.
00:02:15And what's your name again?
00:02:16Oh my God.
00:02:16I don't know you.
00:02:18And of course, I'm a big old cam cow.
00:02:21No.
00:02:22So how do you guys know each other?
00:02:24Well, we met each other doing drag idol.
00:02:26Big nationwide competition.
00:02:27I came second and Danny came first.
00:02:31Have to wait and see who wins this time though, won't we?
00:02:32Oh.
00:02:36Me and Pixie go way back and I beat her the first time.
00:02:40I can beat her again.
00:02:42I'm from Brighton.
00:02:44Oh, I used to live down there.
00:02:45Hi, awesome.
00:02:46Oh, you can be the Brighton curse one then.
00:02:48No.
00:02:49How is Jill Simone to say?
00:02:52As a native Brightonian, am I worried about the Brighton curse?
00:02:57A little bit.
00:02:58But instead of going home first, I'm going to be the last one out that door.
00:03:01Reverse the curse.
00:03:02Cute lolly.
00:03:15Let's ride losers.
00:03:18Wow.
00:03:19Bitch.
00:03:19I'm Sminty Drop.
00:03:20I'm 23 years old and I'm from Lancashire.
00:03:23I'm so offended.
00:03:24She's so hot.
00:03:25I don't want to shoot myself in the foot but I would definitely say I'm a looks queen.
00:03:30I just want to be this sort of like masterpiece.
00:03:32Like a Picasso.
00:03:33I mean not like a Picasso painting.
00:03:35Like I'm trying not to look like a Picasso painting.
00:03:37She's stunning.
00:03:39Hi.
00:03:40Hi.
00:03:41When people first meet me, they seem to think that I'm literally the most horrible person
00:03:46ever but I promise I've just got a bitchy pain.
00:03:48I'm feeling horny.
00:03:50No.
00:03:51Shut the ground.
00:03:52Then when they come up and see me, they're just like, I got told you were going to be
00:03:54a massive bitch but I think it's just your eyebrows.
00:03:59You're House of Kendal.
00:04:01I am House of Kendal.
00:04:02Yeah, baby.
00:04:03I am the granddaughter of season one of Drag Race's biggest losers of competition.
00:04:09You know, she was the first loser and I'm just here to finish what she could barely
00:04:12start.
00:04:13Barely.
00:04:15Minty's apparently in the House of Kendal.
00:04:18Which, you know, makes me feel better that I can survive at least one week.
00:04:30Drag Lexa, play Get Out of My Way by Kylie Minogue.
00:04:34Glamour.
00:04:35Glamour.
00:04:36Glamour.
00:04:37I'm Starlet.
00:04:38I'm 23 years old.
00:04:40I'm originally from South Africa.
00:04:41I now live in Surrey in the UK.
00:04:44I thought I was the sparkly one.
00:04:46I hope she's prepared to be pushed in front of a spider.
00:04:50I'm magical, fantastical, wonderful, gorgeous, and most importantly humble.
00:04:56Glamour.
00:04:58Hi!
00:05:01Not another looks queen.
00:05:03I want the ground to swallow me.
00:05:06Do you like a performer?
00:05:07Do you dance?
00:05:08Do you sing?
00:05:09Do you do it all?
00:05:09I'm getting into performing.
00:05:11I've done one performance so far.
00:05:13One?
00:05:14Drag for me is all about the look.
00:05:16You can be an amazing dancer, but take off the drag and you're just a dancer.
00:05:22How old are you?
00:05:2323.
00:05:24Makes you want to like just suck the youth out of you.
00:05:27What?
00:05:27She's only a young girl.
00:05:28Don't be sucking anything off her.
00:05:30I would love to be the first South African to win drag race.
00:05:34I'm here to win and I'm taking the count of him with me.
00:05:36Okay, thank you.
00:05:46Blonde just isn't a hair colour.
00:05:47It's a lifestyle.
00:05:50I'm Jumbers Blonde and I am a showgirl on a Saturday and an absolute binfire on a Sunday.
00:05:56Is she American?
00:05:58No, she's Irish.
00:05:59She's from Ireland.
00:06:00What about that then?
00:06:02I came to London 14 years ago and I landed in East London and I've stayed there ever since.
00:06:09I worked for big stylists and done like runway shows and then I was a stylist for a time.
00:06:15I love fashion and I love shopping.
00:06:18I love shopping.
00:06:18Shopping.
00:06:18Shopping.
00:06:19That is the epitome of Belfast.
00:06:20You've got your bags, shopping and your makeup.
00:06:25Do you feel like there's pressure to do well for Ireland?
00:06:28I'm here to do me.
00:06:29As we say in Ireland.
00:06:31Yeet, yeet, yeet.
00:06:31You know what?
00:06:32I'm here to do YouTubing.
00:06:35Hold my hands back.
00:06:36I can't resist.
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:47Ah, fucks up.
00:06:49Cause Peppa's here.
00:06:54I am Black Peppa.
00:06:56All these bitches here are blind, but I'm the season of the season.
00:07:00Yes!
00:07:01I'm obsessed.
00:07:03I'm a Brummie queen, but I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Martin in the Caribbean.
00:07:09Yay!
00:07:11Brum!
00:07:13I'm known for performing.
00:07:15When you watch me perform, you'll be tired.
00:07:16Not me.
00:07:17You will.
00:07:18Oh!
00:07:19Oh!
00:07:20She's taking them out!
00:07:21She's taking them out!
00:07:22My creativity is definitely my secret weapon.
00:07:24I have really extravagant looks and find ways that I can be different and stand out from the crowd.
00:07:29So hang on, you're a Birmingham queen.
00:07:31I am a rep in Birmingham 110%.
00:07:34Yes!
00:07:36Yes!
00:07:36Look at me and know that you can be inspired.
00:07:39I am here to represent queer people of color.
00:07:42Melanin, sweetie.
00:07:43I feel like I'm in a horror film.
00:07:44Is it The Purge?
00:07:46Pepper's Purge.
00:07:47Pepper's Purge.
00:07:47That's it.
00:07:54Gail Power.
00:07:55Know what I mean?
00:07:57Yes, bitch!
00:07:59It's me, Just May, and I'm the world's premiere Geraldine Van Der Esso Halliwellen personator.
00:08:04Geraldine Bernadette Halliwellen!
00:08:08I'm originally from Essex, but now I live in East London.
00:08:10Ah!
00:08:11Yeah!
00:08:12Drag scene in East London is huge.
00:08:15Can't swing a dick without hitting at least six drag queens.
00:08:17But I'm the one that you call when you want a brunch or you want a host.
00:08:21Darling, we of course know each other.
00:08:22We've done too many nights together.
00:08:24I would say it's probably ten years.
00:08:26Oh, so a while.
00:08:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:28So it's been nice to know you, so.
00:08:33Just May has got one of them faces I can't stop staring at.
00:08:38I don't know if it's the way the make-up is drawn.
00:08:43She looks like she's about to burst into tears any minute.
00:08:47Is she alright?
00:08:51I like to think that I am very good at certain things.
00:08:55Mainly the Geraldine Van Der Esso Halliwell back catalogue between 1997 and 2003.
00:09:01And she couldn't even get that right.
00:09:10Gorgeous.
00:09:11Hair in mint condition.
00:09:16I'm Dakota Schiffer and I'm 22 years old.
00:09:18Look at that tiny little thumb.
00:09:20Oh my God.
00:09:20Dakota Schiffer is a Scandinavian model that moved to Milan for a fashion season a few years back and she's
00:09:27lived there ever since.
00:09:29Hello everyone!
00:09:30Hi!
00:09:33Fashion is something that I prioritise in my drag and it's something, it's very much the reason why I do
00:09:38it.
00:09:39My icon Sharon Tate, but there's also Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor.
00:09:44You can have my seat.
00:09:45Oh, I'm not going to take your seat.
00:09:47I'll take Danny's.
00:09:49I love being in drag, it is celebrating all that femininity that was kept from me as a child.
00:09:56So drag definitely means everything to me.
00:09:58Are you excited to be here?
00:10:00I'm very excited to be here.
00:10:01Representing the trans community for the first time on the drag race.
00:10:07I'm very honoured for the opportunity.
00:10:09It's not a responsibility I take lightly.
00:10:11I am so proud to be the first trans girl here at Drag Race UK.
00:10:16There's not a lot of dolls that do drag and I'm here to represent the doll ship.
00:10:22I'm going to kick all you men out of the competition.
00:10:34I've got ginger nuts, so pop the kettle on and I'll give you a tea bag.
00:10:41Yes, another ginger.
00:10:43My name's Coppertop and I am the feel-good ginger of drag.
00:10:48You want more of this?
00:10:50Yeah.
00:10:51The sort of drag that Coppertop represents is a bit of the old school.
00:10:56Are you ginger?
00:10:57Real life babes.
00:10:57In real life.
00:10:58Curtains out of carpet.
00:11:00I'm obsessed with pantomime dames and end of the pier drag.
00:11:03She was an actor for a few years.
00:11:05Oh.
00:11:06Casual.
00:11:06She'd done a few hobbies, too.
00:11:08Oh!
00:11:09I love acting.
00:11:10I love writing.
00:11:10I love comedy.
00:11:11Drag allows me to do all of those things and to be fabulous at the same time.
00:11:15So how old are you?
00:11:16If you don't mind me asking.
00:11:17How young are you?
00:11:18How young am I?
00:11:19How old am I?
00:11:20Thirty-eight.
00:11:22No!
00:11:27I am repping it for everyone who is climbing to 40.
00:11:32No matter how old you are.
00:11:34Drag's for anyone.
00:11:36There she is.
00:11:39Oh!
00:11:41Oh!
00:11:41Oh!
00:11:41Oh my God!
00:11:42Oh!
00:11:43Hey up, loves!
00:11:44I'm LaFell.
00:11:44And I'm here to fill you up.
00:11:46Yes!
00:11:51I'm LaFell.
00:11:52And I ain't no filler queen.
00:11:54That's her fucking ankle?
00:11:55Yes.
00:11:55That's because she's two foot tall.
00:11:57She is pinning.
00:11:59Loads of things inspire my drag.
00:12:01Got a touch of Kylie's showgirlness.
00:12:03Got Gaga's artiness.
00:12:04Got Beyonce's thighs.
00:12:06I love performing.
00:12:07I love singing.
00:12:08I love writing music.
00:12:09Is that accent?
00:12:10I'm from Brig O's!
00:12:12Brig O's!
00:12:14You might not have heard of Brig O's, but two drag legends come from there.
00:12:18Myself and Davina Ducampo, who was also in my school choir.
00:12:23When Davina didn't win, I was like, you know what?
00:12:25I'm gonna come and take that crown and that baton from there.
00:12:28I think there's very few Chinese drag queens because our culture is so predominantly focused
00:12:32on academic subjects and this idea of masculinity and Chinese masculinity that I felt like I had to conform to.
00:12:38So by the time I could leave home and move to London, I was set free.
00:12:43And here I am.
00:12:44So would you say you're a triple set then?
00:12:45Oh, I'd say I'm a quadruple.
00:12:47Oh, yeah!
00:12:49I'm gonna be the next UK drag superstar because it needs an Asian winner like me!
00:12:54M'Phil.
00:13:06Intrigued?
00:13:07I think you will be.
00:13:09Yeah!
00:13:13Manchester City!
00:13:15I'm Cheddar Gorgeous.
00:13:17I'm 488 years old and I'm from the future.
00:13:19Well, also I'm from Birmingham, but my drag was very much born in Manchester.
00:13:24A legend!
00:13:25Gorgeous!
00:13:25An ancient legend!
00:13:28Cheddar Gorgeous is like drag royalty.
00:13:32Ah!
00:13:33Ah!
00:13:34You're all beautiful!
00:13:35Shit!
00:13:36You're good, you're darling!
00:13:38I'm already like, I've got to step my shit up.
00:13:39I haven't even started yet.
00:13:41Oh, look who it is!
00:13:43Look who it is!
00:13:44How are you, Gorgeous?
00:13:45Dead!
00:13:46On the inside!
00:13:47Tell them what your strengths are then, Gail, because we all know you can turn a look.
00:13:50You know, I don't really specialise in anything, but I think being a drag is like being a bit
00:13:53of a jack of all trades.
00:13:54I think my drag's a little bit disruptive, provocative.
00:13:58It's very non-binary.
00:14:00I'm much more interested in being an alien deity than I am in being a pop princess.
00:14:05I remember the first time I saw you in Birmingham and you were in the village just like looking
00:14:09like an alien.
00:14:10I didn't even do drag then.
00:14:12I was so inspired by you and like having this time to share this moment with you.
00:14:16Aw, thank you.
00:14:17You were also one of the first drag queens that I ever saw as well before I started doing drag.
00:14:21Oh my god, this is a lot of pressure everywhere.
00:14:23This is your life!
00:14:24It's a little bit now or never feeling to be in here.
00:14:28This is the first time I've ever competed for anything because naturally I've always
00:14:31just seen myself as the winner.
00:14:33But that's very easy to do when you don't compete.
00:14:37So I think this is all of us.
00:14:39What an amazing car.
00:14:44Season 4! Season 4! Season 4! Season 4!
00:14:52Oh my god!
00:14:54Oh my god, to hear the roomial in real life is incredible.
00:14:58I've got goosebumps!
00:14:59Oh my god!
00:15:01Oh my god!
00:15:02Oh my god!
00:15:03Oh my god!
00:15:03Oh my god!
00:15:04Hey racers!
00:15:05Hey!
00:15:07The UK's next drag race superstar never reveals her age.
00:15:12But she always keeps it 100.
00:15:16And now that drag race is a BBC institution, I'm giving each of you a license to thrill.
00:15:24Don't go back because you're about to make UK herstory.
00:15:33James Bond show.
00:15:35I love to see you rolling out the ocean.
00:15:37Oh my god.
00:15:37Rollin' in shit, more like.
00:15:40Oi, oi, Savaloi.
00:15:47I thought it was a filter but my mom looks good.
00:15:50Come through in your costume circle, you better walk.
00:15:53My beautiful queens, you made it!
00:15:56Yeah!
00:16:01Now in 10 weeks, one of you lucky bitches will be crowned the UK's next drag race superstar.
00:16:08And then she'll be whisked away to Hollywood Dolly to create her very own series.
00:16:15Yeah!
00:16:18Hashtag Drag Race UK.
00:16:21Oh Brit Crew!
00:16:24Oh!
00:16:25Oh my god!
00:16:28Oh my god!
00:16:29Oh my god!
00:16:31Oh my god!
00:16:32Oh my god!
00:16:33Oh my god!

00:16:55Right, oh my god!
00:16:57Oh my god!
00:17:02Let the games begin!
00:17:13Hiya. Not April, just May. Now, we are recreating the Spice Girls' iconic entrance into the 2012 London Olympics.
00:17:23It's a home from home for me up here.
00:17:25It really is. Say hello to our photographer, Guy.
00:17:28Hi, Guy.
00:17:29You know how to take a photograph, don't you?
00:17:30There's a wonderful plethora of Just May Faces. I think the last count was two.
00:17:37It's so important to me to do well in this mini-challenge because it's the first time we're in front
00:17:42of Ruth.
00:17:42And it's spicy.
00:17:45Maybe.
00:17:46It's berry jerry.
00:17:49Yes.
00:17:50You know, they always say, if you don't like the weather in Britain, just wait a minute.
00:17:54Oh, there's the wind.
00:17:56Oh, yeah.
00:17:57Scream if you want to go faster.
00:18:01We're starting on the cab, and it's just a light breeze, but suddenly...
00:18:06Is that a snowstorm?
00:18:07Oh, are those snowballs?
00:18:09Oh, those balls are me.
00:18:11Oh, is that rain in London?
00:18:14You're saying how latin' I've...
00:18:16Oh, oh.
00:18:19It's May, it's May, the lusty month of May.
00:18:22Let's see what you got in your arsenal.
00:18:24Now, I've done many a photo shoot in my time.
00:18:28I'm a whore for the camera.
00:18:29Wind machine!
00:18:32Oh, my God!
00:18:34Now you're getting all wet.
00:18:37Oh, yeah.
00:18:38Pose, pose, pose the house down.
00:18:43Danny Beard.
00:18:45All right, let's start the posing.
00:18:47Forget about scary spice.
00:18:49I'm hairy spice.
00:18:50It's a big shower.
00:18:52Yeah.
00:18:53Mmm.
00:18:53It's a golden shower, darling.
00:18:56Oh, I thought there was a smell.
00:18:58Is the meter still running?
00:19:01You look like a 40s femme fatale.
00:19:04What?
00:19:04I'm not 40 yet, darling.
00:19:06No.
00:19:06I know that you're only 33 years old.
00:19:09That's 33 and Irish.
00:19:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:19:13Oh, there's the rain.
00:19:14It's gonna take something more than rain.
00:19:16Touch this.
00:19:17Touch all this wet skin.
00:19:18Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:19:22There's a storm, we're brewing.
00:19:26Hello, Dakota.
00:19:27Oh, we got wind.
00:19:28Woo-hoo.
00:19:30Icon, icon.
00:19:32Can't say I've ever stood on top of a black cab before, but I may have fallen out of one
00:19:36before.
00:19:36Don't quote me on that.
00:19:39Oh, autumn came early this year.
00:19:42All right, let's pose the house down.
00:19:45Lovely.
00:19:45Isn't it?
00:19:46Oh, is that rain?
00:19:47You think Naomi Campbell is posed in the rain like this?
00:19:50Yes.
00:19:52Hi.
00:19:53Think space kettles.
00:19:54Yes.
00:19:55Much wetter.
00:19:57Oh, couple.
00:19:58Oh, spice up my bum.
00:20:00Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:20:02It's a hailstorm now.
00:20:03Oh, hot balls everywhere.
00:20:05Let's try and bounce it off my boobs.
00:20:07Come on, babes.
00:20:07Let's go.
00:20:08Yes.
00:20:09Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:20:28There.
00:20:28Oh, it's the pepper shaker.
00:20:31Yes, black pepper.
00:20:33Woo.
00:20:35Oh, you're giving us all the seasons.
00:20:38All great shots.
00:20:40Fantastic.
00:20:41Woo.
00:20:42She's a tornado.
00:20:43It's the September issue.
00:20:46All right, Pixie Polite.
00:20:48I am a massive Spice Girls fan.
00:20:50I remember we went to see Spice World, Jerry kissed at Alien, and I was slightly aroused.
00:20:57No, I can't say that.
00:20:57I was a child.
00:20:58Um, uh, I wasn't.
00:21:01I was just saying it to be funny.
00:21:03Show me your go-to poses.
00:21:05Okay.
00:21:05That right there.
00:21:06Was that a spice move or was that Winston Churchill?
00:21:09A bit of both.
00:21:10Okay.
00:21:10We'll fight them on the beaches, we'll slay them on the runway, et cetera.
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:14Oh.
00:21:14Oh, dear.
00:21:16That's sick.
00:21:19Come on up the field.
00:21:21Hello, hello, hello.
00:21:23Let's start taking those photographs.
00:21:26Wow.
00:21:30Yeah.
00:21:3222 inches.
00:21:33Take it to the right if you're having a good time.
00:21:37Starling.
00:21:38You look so gorgeous.
00:21:40It's something I slapped together.
00:21:41Something you slapped together.
00:21:42You seem sort of soft-spoken.
00:21:44Do I?
00:21:45Well, listen, we want you to express yourself in this photo session.
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:49Okay?
00:21:50So if your mouth doesn't do the talking, let your body do the walking.
00:21:54Okay.
00:21:55Now pose, mama.
00:21:57Oh, are you feeling iconic?
00:21:59Just a swatch.
00:22:00Oh, is that rain?
00:22:01Oh, my God.
00:22:02We better get this done quickly, otherwise there's a thunderstorm coming.
00:22:06Keep posing, darling.
00:22:08Apart from like.
00:22:09The coastal storm that is surrounding me right now, I'm really enjoying myself because it's
00:22:13like it's a photo shoot alone.
00:22:16Oh, my God.
00:22:17It rains in South Africa.
00:22:20Not as much as England.
00:22:22Not as much as England, that's right.
00:22:24Serving stormy weather.
00:22:27Cheddar say cheese.
00:22:29Oh, hello, Rue.
00:22:30Hello, darling.
00:22:31Oh, God.
00:22:32I'm going to have to get me slit open for this one, dear.
00:22:34Oh, yeah.
00:22:34Well, that's what they all say.
00:22:36How are you feeling?
00:22:37I'm all right.
00:22:38You know, this has been a lot going on, especially for, you know, a veteran as you are.
00:22:43Is that another word for old Rue?
00:22:44No, no, no, no.
00:22:45No, no, no, no.
00:22:45I am paying respect to the queens.
00:22:47Oh, well, thank you very much.
00:22:49Rue.
00:22:49Paul knows I exist.
00:22:51How many people out there can say that?
00:22:53None of yours.
00:22:54None of yours.
00:22:55You're wannabes.
00:22:56That's a Spice Girl reference, too.
00:22:58Oh, and I'm getting wet now.
00:23:00Shower with balls.
00:23:02Oh, nice.
00:23:04All right, stop right now.
00:23:05Thank you very much.
00:23:06We got the shot.
00:23:08Oh, I think that slit has gotten even bigger.
00:23:10Well, it's not the first time somebody said that to me.
00:23:13But that's what happens when you get it nice and wet.
00:23:15That's right.
00:23:16See you later, love.
00:23:17Mwah, mwah.
00:23:18My queens, you all did the UK proud.
00:23:22But one of you earned the gold.
00:23:25The winner of today's mini-challenge is...
00:23:32Black Peppa.
00:23:35Get it!
00:23:38So good.
00:23:39Condragulations.
00:23:40I am ecstatic.
00:23:43Come on, girl.
00:23:44I genuinely did not think that was going to happen.
00:23:47But I am here to show the girls.
00:23:50I'm here to win.
00:23:50Okay, Ladykins.
00:23:52Now, so we can get to know you better,
00:23:54for this week's maxi-challenge,
00:23:56you'll be serving two looks on the runway.
00:23:59Ooh.
00:24:00Yes.
00:24:01First look, keeping it 100.
00:24:05In honor of the BBC's 100th anniversary,
00:24:09you need to serve a look that is inspired
00:24:12by dear old Auntie B.
00:24:19And for your second look,
00:24:21who are you?
00:24:25A signature drag look that puts your charisma,
00:24:28uniqueness, nerve, and talent on full display.
00:24:33And tomorrow, you'll be making your main stage debut,
00:24:36where we'll be joined by our extra-special guest judge,
00:24:41the absolutely fabulous Dame Joanna Lumley.
00:24:51I cannot with this.
00:24:54Ah!
00:24:55So, sweetie, darlings, don't fuck it up.
00:24:58Ah!
00:25:01Racers, start your engines.
00:25:04And may the best drag queen win.
00:25:07Ah!
00:25:09Beautiful!
00:25:11God, it's the scrabbly bit,
00:25:13where we have to take our clothes off
00:25:14while simultaneously attempting to piss on some territory.
00:25:17Oh!
00:25:18Oh!
00:25:18I'm gonna go here!
00:25:20Ah!
00:25:21Oh!
00:25:22Oh!
00:25:22Oh!
00:25:22Oh!
00:25:23I'm in a corner!
00:25:24But don't get me wrong,
00:25:25I'm dashing to that corner spot by the mirror.
00:25:29I definitely did not wear the right shoes for this.
00:25:32I've been here 10 minutes,
00:25:33I've already stacked it.
00:25:34Oh!
00:25:34I've cracked a nail!
00:25:36Oh!
00:25:37Oh!
00:25:38Oh!
00:25:41I'm scared there's gonna be skips in these on-ties.
00:25:44Oh, don't fall over, girls.
00:25:46So gorgeous.
00:25:48I'm taking stuff out of my suitcases
00:25:50and I cannot believe I'm even in the workroom
00:25:52with Cheddar and Danny,
00:25:54who drag icons in the UK.
00:25:55It feels very surreal,
00:25:56but I definitely think I've got something unique to offer as well.
00:25:59Let's bring it on.
00:26:03It humbles you when you look around the room
00:26:05and you're like,
00:26:06oh, girl,
00:26:07no matter how good you thought you were,
00:26:09Stacey over here is gonna be bringing better looks than you.
00:26:12But my BBC runway is incredible
00:26:15and I cannot wait to serve it.
00:26:23Can I borrow some of that?
00:26:25Absolutely.
00:26:26I'm gonna take lashes off.
00:26:29From first glances and first appearances,
00:26:31I feel like everyone's really strong.
00:26:33I would like to know how everyone did in that challenge
00:26:36because I think that would definitely
00:26:39let you see what people's USP is.
00:26:41That's very true.
00:26:43I just hate photo shoots
00:26:44because I just,
00:26:46all I ever look at,
00:26:47even in drag,
00:26:48in drag or out of drag,
00:26:49I focus in on the bad thing.
00:26:52Over the years,
00:26:52I've struggled with body image.
00:26:54Using humour is kind of a coping mechanism
00:26:57and it's something that I've always done
00:26:58ever since I was younger.
00:27:00I think you look great in all your pictures
00:27:01and like,
00:27:02you still have a great face.
00:27:03Well, I still have one face.
00:27:05It's why I'm always very Jerry.
00:27:07She was the loud,
00:27:09over-the-top ginger one in the band
00:27:11and it made such an impact at that age.
00:27:14I was being picked on
00:27:15for being the loud ginger one.
00:27:18I think she was a kind of a voice
00:27:20of the generation
00:27:21that I needed at that time.
00:27:22I've gone from being
00:27:23an ageless Geraldine Bernadette
00:27:25so Halliwell
00:27:26to looking like a ball bag.
00:27:27So,
00:27:28I mean,
00:27:28you're always a ball bag now.
00:27:30In personality,
00:27:31but not in the face.
00:27:40Today is the day.
00:27:42I'm ready.
00:27:43Let's go.
00:27:43Let's go.
00:27:44Let's go.
00:27:45It's the very first elimination day
00:27:46and everyone's portraying
00:27:48this very big confident persona.
00:27:53They're being drag queens about it,
00:27:55but nobody wants to go home first.
00:27:57I'm just hoping the looks that I've brought
00:27:59can get me through
00:28:00so I can keep slaying, girl.
00:28:01Oh, God.
00:28:06So, ladies,
00:28:06what are we doing
00:28:07for our BBC runways?
00:28:09I'm doing Antiques Roadshow,
00:28:12which I'm really excited about.
00:28:14What about you, Baz?
00:28:15What are you doing?
00:28:15I'm doing Patsy Stone
00:28:17from Abfab.
00:28:19You're not.
00:28:21I think I'm a bit more reserved
00:28:23than she is,
00:28:24so it'll be fun to, like,
00:28:26emulate.
00:28:27Yeah, in front of her.
00:28:28What are you doing
00:28:29for your BBC runways?
00:28:31So, I'm doing
00:28:31a Victoria Wood sketch.
00:28:33Oh!
00:28:34And everything I do
00:28:34is based on
00:28:35all of those old comedy shows.
00:28:38Yeah.
00:28:38It's completely shaped me.
00:28:39Shows like Abfab,
00:28:41Acorn Antiques,
00:28:42Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.
00:28:43They are the ingredients
00:28:45that we queers need
00:28:46when we are young
00:28:47and trying to find ourselves.
00:28:48All of these characters
00:28:49on TV was,
00:28:52it was my way of, like,
00:28:53accessing who I was.
00:28:55You know, you're in a world
00:28:56where everyone around you
00:28:58is saying,
00:28:59this is wrong
00:28:59and this is wrong.
00:29:00And you're there
00:29:01as, like, a gay little boy
00:29:01going,
00:29:02this feels right.
00:29:05These characters
00:29:06are so wild,
00:29:07they allow us to become
00:29:08the best possible person
00:29:10that we can be.
00:29:11Even if it's being closeted
00:29:12and that we're in hiding,
00:29:13at some point
00:29:14it's going to come out.
00:29:15Has that sort of formed you
00:29:16into a comedy queen, then?
00:29:18She likes to flex
00:29:19the comedy muscles.
00:29:21But let's not commit to that.
00:29:29What are you doing?
00:29:30Mr. Blobby.
00:29:31Why?
00:29:33Who's doing Blobby?
00:29:35His pink face over there
00:29:36is doing Blobby.
00:29:39I thought you were doing
00:29:40an ostrich with that colour face.
00:29:42Are you really doing Blobby?
00:29:44Yeah.
00:29:44I'm doing pink face,
00:29:45you're doing white face.
00:29:46You don't have to be so literal,
00:29:47you know,
00:29:48with your references,
00:29:48funny bunny.
00:29:50It depends on what
00:29:51you consider literal.
00:29:52You paint your face white
00:29:53every time, babe.
00:29:58Sight yourself up
00:29:59for that runway girl
00:30:00because you need to
00:30:00sight yourself up
00:30:01for the bus home as well.
00:30:05I hope you don't have
00:30:06to lip sync against me.
00:30:07I will murder you
00:30:08on that stage.
00:30:10As long as the lip sync's
00:30:12the Blobby song.
00:30:18Blobby is so iconic.
00:30:23Welcome to the main stage

00:31:44test card clown
00:31:45realness.
00:31:47I wondered
00:31:48what happened
00:31:48to that little girl.
00:31:50After the channel's
00:31:52schedule would finish,
00:31:53it would switch
00:31:54to this test card.
00:31:55This is one
00:31:56of the things
00:31:56I remember most
00:31:58about television
00:31:59growing up
00:32:00in the 1800s.
00:32:04It's Red Moose Day.

00:32:08the judges
00:32:09glamour
00:32:10on the edge
00:32:11of sanity,
00:32:11which I think
00:32:12is something
00:32:12we can all relate
00:32:13to right now,
00:32:14isn't it?
00:32:16As Blue Peter,
00:32:17Jabber's blonde.

00:32:26made with sticky
00:32:27back plastic.
00:32:27As I'm walking
00:32:28down the runway,
00:32:29I'm thinking,
00:32:29here's what I made
00:32:30earlier.
00:32:31Note to self,
00:32:32never perm
00:32:32your own hair.
00:32:36As Pudsey Bear,
00:32:37La Fil.

00:32:43part of BBC
00:32:44history.
00:32:44It has raised
00:32:45so much money.
00:32:46It's all for
00:32:47a good paws.
00:32:48OMG,
00:32:48there's nothing
00:32:49grisly about my look.
00:32:50I look
00:32:50perfect.
00:32:51Sadly,
00:32:52she killed
00:32:53the real Pudsey
00:32:53to make that coat.
00:32:55Graham!

00:33:12Nobody has ever
00:33:13seen an antique lamp
00:33:14this sexy before.
00:33:15It's not just
00:33:16the bulb that's
00:33:17getting hot.
00:33:17What a turn-on.
00:33:19If I was on
00:33:21the Antiques Roadshow,
00:33:22I'd be the last
00:33:22item featured.

00:33:38in the hat.
00:33:39Oh,
00:33:40the dreaded runway,
00:33:41baby.
00:33:41Yes.
00:33:42Rastamouse would be
00:33:43squeaking from the
00:33:44rooftops, girl.
00:33:45I know already.
00:33:46Locks of love.
00:33:50As Anne Boleyn

00:33:57inspired by the
00:33:58terrible Tudors
00:33:59of Horrible Histories,
00:34:00which I grew up with
00:34:01on television.
00:34:02Hey, Anne,
00:34:02how's your head?
00:34:03I think she's had
00:34:04some complaints, Ru.

00:34:13Off with her skirt.
00:34:14Oh, my God,
00:34:15that was my next line,
00:34:16you bastard.
00:34:20Danny Beard
00:34:21as Mr. Blobby.
00:34:23Blobby, hell.
00:34:25Mr. Blobby is
00:34:26iconically British,
00:34:27and it's also terrifying.
00:34:30Was it Noel Edmonds
00:34:31in there?
00:34:32It's a bit creepy,
00:34:33isn't it?
00:34:34Oh, I think I saw
00:34:35a crinkly bottom.
00:34:36I wanted something
00:34:37big, bold,
00:34:38and something that
00:34:39I could merge
00:34:40with Club Kids.
00:34:42If Lee Bowery
00:34:43were alive today.
00:34:44Oh, absolutely.
00:34:47Has the Queen Victoria
00:34:48bust just made?
00:34:51I've gone for a character
00:34:52from my favourite
00:34:53BBC show,
00:34:54EastEnders,
00:34:54and there's no one
00:34:56more iconic
00:34:56from that show
00:34:57than the Queen Big Bus.
00:34:58Yes, Queen Victoria.

00:35:24Julie Walters,
00:35:25Victoria Wood,
00:35:26Joanna Lumley,
00:35:27who is literally
00:35:28sat in front of me.
00:35:29I need to serve up
00:35:30pure comedy babes.
00:35:32Waiter,
00:35:32there's a tit in my suit.
00:35:38Starlit as Patsy Stone.
00:35:40This is awkward.
00:35:41I know.
00:35:44To be here
00:35:45on the runway
00:35:45in front of Patsy herself
00:35:47is mind-blowing.
00:35:48I love it.
00:35:50Patsy's dropped
00:35:51and her fag.
00:35:52And her panties.
00:35:53And her panties.
00:35:54I'm wearing
00:35:54a Chanel-inspired
00:35:56tweed suit
00:35:57with one of Patsy's
00:35:58catchphrases
00:35:59printed on the back.
00:36:00Little bitch troll
00:36:01from hell.
00:36:03This is gorgeous.
00:36:05Absolutely fabulous,
00:36:06darling.

00:36:16me and my dad
00:36:17used to watch together
00:36:18a lot when I was younger
00:36:19and it's really special
00:36:20for me to do this look
00:36:21on the runway.

00:36:23I love my mum too.
00:36:24Hi, mum.

00:36:41where to get them.
00:36:45Up next,
00:36:46Black Pepper
00:36:47as Mr. Blobby,
00:36:49the sequel.
00:36:52I decided
00:36:53to pick Blobby
00:36:54because Blobby
00:36:55is chaotic
00:36:56and once you get
00:36:58to know Pepper,
00:36:59she is chaotic.
00:37:00Do my fingers

00:37:32I'm clearly
00:37:32a post-industrial,
00:37:34non-binary,
00:37:34alien warrior deity.
00:37:36I think that's
00:37:37Joan of Arse.
00:37:40I really wanted
00:37:41to bring something
00:37:42that was quintessentially
00:37:44how I look

00:38:37This is quintessential to feel.
00:38:39In Chinese culture,

00:40:56I can't face any more.
00:41:00Cup it up.
00:41:02I'd like to buy a vowel.
00:41:04The judges,
00:41:05they have got no idea
00:41:06what's going on,

00:44:58Yes.
00:44:59I think what was missing
00:45:00was fun.
00:45:01Yes.
00:45:01I know nerves,
00:45:02but you need to allow that
00:45:04to just dissipate
00:45:05because you're here
00:45:05for a reason.
00:45:07Dakota,
00:45:07I think you're absolutely
00:45:08drop-dead gorgeous,
00:45:09and I'd love to see
00:45:09particularly this look
00:45:10much more eye-catching.
00:45:13The standard of this group
00:45:15is so high,
00:45:17it seems a little
00:45:18playing in this mix.
00:45:21This challenge was meant
00:45:23to give us an idea
00:45:24of how your mind works.
00:45:26Where are you coming from?
00:45:27I sort of envision this
00:45:28as like Anya Taylor-Joy
00:45:29in a Valentino campaign,
00:45:31but I completely
00:45:32take in your critiques
00:45:33as well because
00:45:34everyone's done
00:45:35so well tonight.
00:45:36So yes,
00:45:36I really want
00:45:37to take them on board.
00:45:38Thank you very much.
00:45:41All right,
00:45:42up next,
00:45:43Just May.
00:45:43No,
00:45:44your EastEnders bust
00:45:45was ridiculous
00:45:46and stupid
00:45:47and funny,
00:45:49and I actually enjoyed it.
00:45:50What let it down
00:45:52was the construction
00:45:53where it sort of looked
00:45:55like Queen Victoria
00:45:55was pregnant.
00:45:56She'd balance a pint
00:45:58on her belly.
00:46:00Tonight,
00:46:01Ruwarya,
00:46:02to me,
00:46:03it's kind of
00:46:04run of the mill.
00:46:05I feel like you need
00:46:06to elevate it
00:46:07some more.
00:46:09I think you're gorgeous
00:46:10and I'd love to see
00:46:11your not so made up face
00:46:13because you're beautiful
00:46:14and I think
00:46:15I'd just like to see
00:46:15that not having to go,
00:46:17hey, kids,
00:46:17do you know what I mean?
00:46:18You're great.
00:46:19That's awkward, Joanna.
00:46:20She's not wearing any makeup.
00:46:21I need moisturizer.
00:46:24Do you always wear
00:46:25the big exaggerated eye?
00:46:28Yeah,
00:46:29I'm pretty limited
00:46:30with my makeup skills,
00:46:32but, you know,
00:46:33we're going to try
00:46:33different things.
00:46:34Yeah,
00:46:35where are you from?
00:46:36Originally from Essex,
00:46:37but now I'm in East London.
00:46:39You're in East London.
00:46:39Is that where
00:46:40Stratford Mall is?
00:46:41I'm very close to it.
00:46:42I love that mall.
00:46:43I used to work there.
00:46:44Really?
00:46:44At one of the makeup shops?
00:46:46No,
00:46:46obviously.
00:46:48I used to run
00:46:49the moisturizer shop.
00:46:50I thought I recognized you.
00:46:52My best customer.
00:46:56Thank you, May.
00:46:58All right,
00:46:58up next,
00:46:59Copper Top.
00:47:00So you chose
00:47:01an iconic sketch
00:47:02and I thought
00:47:02that you did it
00:47:03as drag
00:47:04as one could do it.
00:47:07The thing that stuck
00:47:07me a little bit
00:47:08was it was kind of
00:47:09the same character
00:47:10throughout.
00:47:11Even though it was
00:47:12a character,
00:47:13this is a drag show,
00:47:14so I always look for
00:47:14ups and downs
00:47:15in taking us
00:47:16on a journey.
00:47:17This,
00:47:18you've told your story
00:47:19and I thought
00:47:20that was brilliant.
00:47:22I do think
00:47:23the letters
00:47:24are,
00:47:25I don't know,
00:47:25they look a bit like
00:47:26I might have been able
00:47:27to do that
00:47:27and I should never think
00:47:28that when I look
00:47:29at something here.
00:47:31Copper Top,
00:47:31you've got funny bones.
00:47:33You can't help
00:47:35but entertain.
00:47:35You've just got it in you
00:47:37and I love that.
00:47:38So,
00:47:39I do love
00:47:40Julie Walters.
00:47:41I wasn't crazy
00:47:41about the presentation
00:47:42of it,
00:47:43but this outfit
00:47:45is visually
00:47:46arresting.
00:47:47Why have you chosen
00:47:48to make that word
00:47:49part of your statement?
00:47:52Ginger fag
00:47:53I've heard incessantly
00:47:55throughout my entire life
00:47:57and I still hear it today.
00:47:59My drag is now
00:48:00trying to take
00:48:01what I thought
00:48:02was a weakness
00:48:03and strengthen it
00:48:04and so I wanted to
00:48:05kind of make a big
00:48:06statement here
00:48:07just to say
00:48:08I'm finally owning it
00:48:10and I'm proud.
00:48:14Up next,
00:48:15Starlet.
00:48:16So Starlet,
00:48:17when I heard you
00:48:18doing Patsy Stone,
00:48:19I must say
00:48:19my heart did slightly sink
00:48:20because I don't think
00:48:21I'm speaking out of turn
00:48:22but you know,
00:48:23the original
00:48:23was quite close
00:48:24to drag
00:48:25already.
00:48:27But I thought
00:48:27you did a good job
00:48:28of elevating it slightly.
00:48:29Loved it.
00:48:30Thought you looked beautiful.
00:48:32I've seen lots of Patsy's
00:48:33and I'm always jealous
00:48:34of the drag Patsy's
00:48:36because they're always
00:48:36much better than I
00:48:37or Patsy ever was
00:48:38so thank you.
00:48:39This tonight
00:48:40is so pretty.
00:48:42It's very,
00:48:43you know,
00:48:431940s,
00:48:44very old Hollywood.
00:48:45I learned a lot
00:48:46about how Starlet
00:48:47does drag tonight.
00:48:49From the moment
00:48:50you walked into
00:48:51the workroom,
00:48:52you were so put together.
00:48:54The only thing
00:48:54I worry about
00:48:55is that you are
00:48:56kind of timid.
00:48:57I am naturally shy
00:48:58meeting people at first.
00:49:00I'm not sure
00:49:01why that is
00:49:02but my purest self
00:49:03I'm a massive goofball.
00:49:06Well, allow us in
00:49:07on that, okay?
00:49:09Will do.
00:49:09All right.
00:49:10Well, thank you.
00:49:12Up next,
00:49:13Black Pepper.
00:49:15Black Pepper,
00:49:16I'm White Salt.
00:49:16Nice to meet you.
00:49:19So you were the second
00:49:21of the Mr. Blobby's
00:49:22and what I loved
00:49:24about the way
00:49:25you did it was
00:49:26you made it fashion.
00:49:28You interpreted it
00:49:29your way.
00:49:30That tells us
00:49:31how Black Pepper
00:49:32does drag.
00:49:34Well, you went
00:49:34ages for a drag,
00:49:36Mr. Blobby.
00:49:37And then two.
00:49:38So, this
00:49:40beautiful,
00:49:41absolutely stunning.
00:49:42And when it fell off,
00:49:44this big headpiece,
00:49:45I could see you
00:49:45kind of thinking,
00:49:46should I pick that up?
00:49:47And then deciding,
00:49:48no, I am still fabulous.
00:49:50I am chocolate.
00:49:51This look,
00:49:52I think,
00:49:53is out of this world.
00:49:55There's something majestic
00:49:56but the way you fooled around
00:49:57with those long
00:49:58purple points
00:49:59and that licking your chest
00:50:01and tasting it,
00:50:02I thought,
00:50:02we all want to do that.
00:50:03We just want to be upon you.
00:50:05Stunning.
00:50:06I didn't mind
00:50:07that the chocolate fell off.
00:50:08It looks delicious.
00:50:10Just love, love, love it.
00:50:12Tell me about your experience
00:50:13thus far
00:50:14in this competition.
00:50:15Coming on this show
00:50:16is something
00:50:17I've always wanted to do.
00:50:19It just makes me feel
00:50:20so happy.
00:50:22The reason why
00:50:23I was running out
00:50:24is because
00:50:26I'm just thinking
00:50:27my parents are going to see this
00:50:28and they can finally
00:50:29understand me.
00:50:31I just need so much
00:50:32to be on this stage
00:50:33to show the whole world
00:50:34what I can bring.
00:50:36This is me
00:50:36and drag has
00:50:38changed my life
00:50:39and I can finally
00:50:40shine my light
00:50:40that I've always hid
00:50:42my entire life
00:50:43growing up.
00:50:45Thank you so much.
00:50:47Thank you, ladies.
00:50:48I think we've heard enough.
00:50:50While you untuck
00:50:51in the workroom,
00:50:52the judges and I
00:50:54will deliberate.
00:50:55They leave the stage.
00:50:59To being safe.
00:51:00Well, look at me.
00:51:01Look at me.
00:51:02I'm like,
00:51:03oh, my gosh.
00:51:04Bitch, I broke the curse.
00:51:05Yeah!
00:51:07Yeah!
00:51:09When I got off then
00:51:10I was shaking,
00:51:11thinking,
00:51:12oh, God, thank God
00:51:13I've not gone home first.
00:51:15Listen,
00:51:16I'm just happy to be safe.
00:51:17I feel like
00:51:18week one,
00:51:20you just don't want
00:51:21to be that sacrificial lamb.
00:51:22Do you know what I mean?
00:51:23You have such confidence, Danny.
00:51:25It'd be nice to see, like,
00:51:27a little bit more nervousness.
00:51:29A lot of that is a front,
00:51:31you know what I mean?
00:51:31Like,
00:51:32I don't want to talk now.
00:51:35Oh, babes.
00:51:38Part of it is also
00:51:38a control thing, like,
00:51:40if I have everyone
00:51:41laughing around me,
00:51:42then they like me,
00:51:43you know?
00:51:44Yeah.
00:51:46Oh,
00:51:47I hate when people do this
00:51:48when they say,
00:51:49it's so self-indulgent.
00:51:51She's showing her feelings.
00:51:52She's showing her feelings.
00:52:11I think it's me and
00:52:12cop hair.
00:52:13Really?
00:52:14Yeah.
00:52:14You got some good critiques,
00:52:15though, babe.
00:52:16Are you okay?
00:52:19Baby.
00:52:20No, baby.
00:52:21I really thought I would
00:52:23excel at this challenge,
00:52:24and I felt like I didn't do
00:52:25myself proud.
00:52:29Being in the bottom right now
00:52:30doesn't mean you're going
00:52:31home, babe.
00:52:32I'm sorry.
00:52:32You can fight.
00:52:33I'm going to fight.
00:52:34I mean, look at you.
00:52:35Yeah.
00:52:36She's literally...
00:52:39How are you feeling?
00:52:46Oh, don't.
00:52:47You destroyed me right now.
00:52:49I know I could have
00:52:50elevated it more,
00:52:51and I know that I could have
00:52:52pushed it.
00:52:54Do you know what?
00:52:55Copper Top's look
00:52:56is ugly.
00:52:57But do you know
00:52:58what else is ugly?
00:52:59Homophobia.
00:53:00So I'm really glad
00:53:01that she brought this look
00:53:02and could share this story
00:53:03on the runway.
00:53:05Justine, how are you
00:53:06feeling, love?
00:53:08I'm so confident
00:53:10in what I do
00:53:11that then when I'm
00:53:12taken out of my comfort zone,
00:53:14it fucks me up.
00:53:17Looking around me
00:53:18at the other two,
00:53:19all I'm thinking to myself
00:53:20is, even though the judges
00:53:22found faults
00:53:22with my outfits,
00:53:23I'm hoping that my personality
00:53:25is enough to get me through
00:53:26at this point.
00:53:26You are amazing for me.
00:53:28You just need to
00:53:28embrace the situation
00:53:29and just...
00:53:30You do you.
00:53:32Right there.
00:53:34Peppa,
00:53:35you've got really good critiques.
00:53:36How are you fit about that?
00:53:37I have no words, actually.
00:53:39I've always been teased
00:53:40about my dark complexion.
00:53:41I just wanted to dedicate that
00:53:43to all the dark-skinned people
00:53:45out there.
00:53:45You can love the skin
00:53:46that you're in.
00:53:47And when your mum and dad
00:53:48see this...
00:53:49Oh, God.
00:53:50I did very proud.
00:53:52Well done, girl.
00:53:53Smashed it, babe.
00:53:54Like the headpiece.
00:53:58Now, just between us
00:54:00squirrel friends,
00:54:01what do you think?
00:54:02And we've got a strong
00:54:03group of queens.
00:54:04Let's start with...
00:54:06Sminty Drop.
00:54:07Honest to God,
00:54:08the light was on.
00:54:10I loved Sminty.
00:54:11An addiction to massive headgear,
00:54:13which I'm appreciative of.
00:54:14I'm thrilled
00:54:15that Sminty is here.
00:54:17She is a star.
00:54:18But, you know, listen,
00:54:19this competition
00:54:19is more than just looks.
00:54:21So we'll see
00:54:21if Sminty has the goods.
00:54:24Let's move on down
00:54:25to Dakota Schiffer.
00:54:26I think what was missing
00:54:27for me
00:54:28in both of her looks
00:54:29was a personality.
00:54:31I think the thing
00:54:31that let her down
00:54:32in that little green dress
00:54:33she wore
00:54:34was the little train,
00:54:35which was just so humble
00:54:36and so little,
00:54:39you know what I mean?
00:54:39She came up with ideas,
00:54:41but then didn't let herself
00:54:42run with them.
00:54:43Well, you know,
00:54:43what was missing
00:54:44was a point of view
00:54:45for looking for
00:54:46Rue Are You.
00:54:48All right, Just May.
00:54:49Where Dakota Schiffer
00:54:50didn't give enough,
00:54:51Just May gave a lot.
00:54:53She admitted her makeup skills
00:54:54were not her thing.
00:54:55I think she's really
00:54:56going to struggle with that.
00:54:58Though she's reaching for it,
00:54:59she hadn't achieved glamour
00:55:00in her Rue Are You look.
00:55:01It was sweet,
00:55:02but it wasn't glamorous.
00:55:03She has the personality.
00:55:04She has those things
00:55:05that money can't buy,
00:55:06but now she needs
00:55:07to finesse it all.
00:55:08So likable.
00:55:09But again,
00:55:09we want to see
00:55:10something special.
00:55:12All right, Copper Top.
00:55:13Copper Top chose two soups.
00:55:16Jess was missing
00:55:17the full story.
00:55:18It was one note all along.
00:55:19The way that he incorporated
00:55:20Julie Walter's physicality
00:55:22into the walk,
00:55:23I thought it was good.
00:55:24The second look,
00:55:25I really appreciated it
00:55:26because she thought about it
00:55:27and she said,
00:55:28this is who people said I was,
00:55:30but this is who I am.
00:55:32And it seemed that
00:55:33she had interpreted
00:55:34this question,
00:55:35Rue Are You,
00:55:35rather more deeply
00:55:36than many of the others
00:55:37who just were looking gorgeous
00:55:38and putting on
00:55:38their prettiest clothes.
00:55:39I think you're absolutely right.
00:55:40It felt like the outfit
00:55:41was a vehicle
00:55:41for this message.
00:55:43All right,
00:55:43let's move on down
00:55:44to Starlet.
00:55:45You know,
00:55:46there's nothing
00:55:46more nerve-wracking
00:55:48than performing
00:55:49somebody's piece
00:55:50in front of said artist.
00:55:52I like
00:55:52Bitch Trolled from Hell
00:55:53except the quote is
00:55:54Little Bitch Trolled from Hell.
00:55:56Yes!
00:55:57What threw me away
00:55:58completely
00:55:59was this fairy
00:56:00from the top
00:56:00of the Christmas tree.
00:56:01Wow,
00:56:02that was so
00:56:02unbelievably beautiful.
00:56:04The attention to detail,
00:56:05the beading,
00:56:06all of that
00:56:07made you think,
00:56:08ooh,
00:56:08I cannot wait
00:56:09to see what else you have.
00:56:11If you thought
00:56:11this was spectacular,
00:56:13wait till you see
00:56:13the outfit she walks
00:56:14into the workroom in.
00:56:16Probably my favorite outfit
00:56:18ever to walk
00:56:19into that workroom.
00:56:21Really?
00:56:21It was breathtaking.
00:56:23All right,
00:56:24let's move on down
00:56:24to Black Pepper.
00:56:25I am a fan
00:56:26of Black Pepper already.
00:56:27Very confident,
00:56:28very capable.
00:56:30Rue Are You,
00:56:30oh,
00:56:31that was gorgeous.
00:56:32That beautiful headpiece,
00:56:33it fell off.
00:56:33She didn't show us,
00:56:34she just kept going.
00:56:35I loved her,
00:56:36Mr. Blobby.
00:56:37In fact,
00:56:37she'd taken
00:56:37all the blobby-ness
00:56:38about it,
00:56:39i.e. the pinkness,
00:56:40and incorporated that
00:56:42but made a thing
00:56:42of rare beauty.
00:56:43Tonight was the first time
00:56:44I'd ever heard
00:56:44of Mr. Blobby
00:56:45and it was gorgeous.
00:56:48I wouldn't Google
00:56:49Mr. Blobby,
00:56:49you'll be very disappointed.
00:56:51Oh, really?
00:56:52Blobby.
00:56:53Blobby, blobby, blobby.
00:56:55Silence!
00:56:56I've made my decision.

01:03:15To be the first one
01:03:17To leave Drag Race Season 4
01:03:19Because just like Gerry

01:03:23All I've learned is
01:03:24What I know already
01:03:25I'm a shit lip-syncer
