00:00:04I am so relieved to be walking back into this workroom.
00:00:07I did not want to see the back end of it.
00:00:09And I'm really glad I got to prove myself and show everyone that I can do this.
00:00:14Every fairy tale has an ending, but this is only the beginning.
00:00:18Jambas deserved the win, but Starla, she could have been a contender.
00:00:23So glad you're here.
00:00:25Thank you so much.
00:00:26You pulled it out of the bag.
00:00:27I killed it.
00:00:28I honestly, I genuinely did not know how that was going to go.
00:00:32It was really tough for me because I really didn't want to go home.
00:00:39I really messed up.
00:00:41I've been safe and I've been in the bottom.
00:00:44It's time for me to step up.
00:00:45On that note, I've never cleaned anything in my life.
00:00:49We can smell everything.
00:00:52I know how much they've got to show and I am so thrilled that Jambas is still here.
00:00:57No offence to everyone else, but for me personally, looks-wise, Starla was the biggest competition.
00:01:02Oh, 100%.
00:01:03100%.
00:01:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:04Are you worried being a look queen?
00:01:07Um, I escaped that lip sync by the skin of my teeth.
00:01:13Thank the Lord.
00:01:15I feel like me and Starla were sort of in similar wheelhouses.
00:01:18She was just a more expensive, more like polished version.
00:01:23So now that she's gone, I'm kind of, I'm kind of glad because it makes me look better.
00:01:28How's everyone else feeling?
00:01:30I'm devoured.
00:01:31Honestly.
00:01:31No, I really, this is no Badge Corner.
00:01:34I really thought that like this challenge was going to be my challenge.
00:01:38I am quietly seething with rage and resentment.
00:01:43I really could have had a Badge, but instead I'm here, Badge-less, nude, naked, and I've had enough.
00:01:49There's so much more to do and we don't know what's coming next.
00:01:51If week two was Girlband Tau.
00:01:53Yeah.
00:01:53What is this week?
00:01:54My gold match of a snatch in this.
00:01:56Next week it will be the finals.
00:01:58Is anyone going to be bringing an old maiden silhouette next week?
00:02:04We just have a moment with this, Minty, that you call this an old maiden silhouette.
00:02:09And I will say it again.
00:02:14Starlet was the tippity-top-top-top-top-top-top in looking.
00:02:21But it takes more than just a lot to do well here.
00:02:26Oh, can you blow on me back?
00:02:29I really did not enjoy the taste of the bottom this week.
00:02:32I need to get back up to the top.
00:02:35So everybody better watch out.
00:02:37You want old maiden?
00:02:38Try it out.
00:02:39Oh my God.
00:02:39Come on, old maiden.
00:02:41Category is...
00:02:42Old maiden.
00:02:48Oh, no.
00:02:51Hey.
00:02:52Oh, that's definitely not old.
00:02:55Go.
00:02:56Am I heavy?
00:02:59I'm going to get to see flower me.
00:03:00Crazy.
00:03:02It's a brand new day in the workroom.
00:03:04I'm well rested.
00:03:05I've had my beauty sleep and three energy drinks.
00:03:09And I am ready for the day.
00:03:11How's it feeling?
00:03:12Oh, so good.
00:03:13How's it going now?
00:03:15Top of the world.
00:03:15I'm so cold today.
00:03:16Why don't you check out my nipples?
00:03:20Oh, no.
00:03:21No, we do have to say congratulations to the other team.
00:03:25Congratulations.
00:03:25Congratulations.
00:03:26Obviously, they've now got badges, but does that mean that they all deserved a badge?
00:03:32I'm so sure.
00:03:35Manchester Mannequin No Badge Panikin.
00:03:39Excuse me straight up.
00:03:40I don't need a badge to tickle my top on stage.
00:03:42No, listen.
00:03:43Obviously, Miss Minty struggled with her lip sync.
00:03:46Miss Jon was admitted to choking up a little bit as well.
00:03:49But last time I checked, I turned it out.
00:03:51FKA Twigs says I'm magnetic on stage and I'm a natural talent.
00:03:53So I'll take that and take that to the back.
00:03:56Listen, Graham Norton says a baby has arrived.
00:04:00Rue knows what's good.
00:04:01Michelle knows what's good.
00:04:03FKA Twigs knows what's good.
00:04:04Now it's just time for that to translate into a badge.
00:04:08But I'm here.
00:04:12Her majesty that I read in it had hers is...
00:04:19Hey, dirty girdies.
00:04:21If you want to be Queen Bee, it's going to take balls.
00:04:25Little tiny balls.
00:04:27So, eyes down, tits up, and let them have it.
00:04:34Dirty girl, it's bingo.
00:04:36What?
00:04:36Dirty girl, number 30.
00:04:37That's a bingo call.
00:04:39Oh.
00:04:40Are we going to be making over old ladies?
00:04:42Hello, hello, hello.
00:04:44Hello.
00:04:47Ladykins.
00:04:48Hi.
00:04:49I gotta tell you, I love this time of year.
00:04:52Mmm.
00:04:53You smell that?
00:04:54It's the unmistakable stench.
00:04:57Of a freshly laid red carpet.
00:05:00Ooh.
00:05:01Mmm.
00:05:02Yes, darling.
00:05:03It is award season.
00:05:04Yeah.
00:05:07So, for today's mini challenge,
00:05:09we are announcing the winners of the first annual NAFTA award.
00:05:14Yeah.
00:05:17Hashtag Drag Race UK.
00:05:19Now, I'll give you 15 minutes to get into quick red carpet drag.
00:05:24And then, we'll start the show.
00:05:27Ready, steady, go.
00:05:30Oh, my God.
00:05:33Oh, my God, what do I have?
00:05:35Where do I have any pain?
00:05:38I can't get out of my top.
00:05:43We can't deal with it.
00:05:46Pixie, what the hell are you wearing?
00:05:48It's supposed to be red carpet, not your nan's carpet.
00:05:50Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:05:54Ooh, how do I have it?
00:05:56Ah.

00:06:05Oh, my God.
00:06:07It's the NAFTA awards.
00:06:08Now, what makes these awards so special is that you, the queens, voted for your fellow queens.
00:06:16And no, you were not allowed to vote for yourselves.
00:06:19I think the NAFTAs are going to be spicy.
00:06:24And now, the reason we're all here tonight, to win one of these gorgeous NAFTAs.

00:08:00You're trying to bring me down, babes.
00:08:02It's not gonna work.
00:08:03Thank you, NAFTA!
00:08:05She did it!
00:08:08Oh!

00:08:50Wow.
00:08:50One word comes to mind.
00:08:52Brave.

00:09:19I'd like to thank...
00:09:20Peppa.
00:09:20Pixie.
00:09:21You.
00:09:21You.
00:09:22You.

00:09:24So much.
00:09:26I'm not funny, but I'm pretty.
00:09:27Ha!
00:09:31And now we come to our final and most coveted award.

00:09:39Best Hot Mess.
00:09:41And the NAFTA for Best Hot Mess goes to...
00:09:48Sminty Drop!
00:09:49Oh!
00:09:52Finally, some representation for the old maid.
00:09:55Finally, an award with my name on it.
00:09:58Who else was going to get chaotic?
00:10:00Lovely girl!
00:10:03Ha!
00:10:03Ha!
00:10:08Ha!
00:10:09Ha!
00:10:13Ha!

00:10:16I'm a demon!
00:10:18Ha!
00:10:19Ha!
00:10:19I didn't earn any awards!
00:10:20I'm a demon.
00:10:21Now, from the glamour of the red carpet to the bling of the bingo hole.
00:10:29For this week's maxi challenge, you'll be making your own high fashion looks for a night down the bingo.
00:10:39You'll be working in pairs as you create two complimentary looks.
00:10:45So it's a design challenge, but we're going to be in pairs.
00:10:50I'm worried.
00:10:51Now, where are my balls?
00:10:54Oh, Brit Crew!
00:10:59Well, hello, gorgeous.
00:11:02The way he puts that in place.
00:11:05All right, ladies, it's time to pair you up bingo style.
00:11:10All right, Jacob, spin that thing.
00:11:22Laphil.
00:11:24Who will be Laphil's partner?
00:11:26Sminty Drop.
00:11:29I've just been paired with the hot mess of this season.
00:11:31Oh, here's Sminty Drop.
00:11:35Jacob, let's find out who our next pair will be.
00:11:41Baby and Dakota Shipper.
00:11:44Hey, gorgeous.
00:11:46This challenge is going to be so much fun.
00:11:51Let's find out who our next pair will be.
00:11:55Cheddar Gorgeous and...
00:11:58And Copper Top.
00:12:01Oh, Copper. Now I like Copper.
00:12:02Copper's been good.
00:12:03Copper's been able to work well.
00:12:05Our next pair will be Spin Those Balls.
00:12:08Come on, don't worry.
00:12:10Danny Beard will be paired with Pixie Polite.
00:12:14Yeah.
00:12:16Oh, thank God.
00:12:18This is the best case scenario for me.
00:12:20We have a similar body type.
00:12:22We know each other really well.
00:12:24So, Jacob, I cannot wait to find out who the next pair will be.
00:12:29What's that?
00:12:30Oh, it's a terrible name.
00:12:32Yeah.
00:12:34Sorry.
00:12:35Just say JB or J Blonde.
00:12:38Yes.
00:12:40And Black Pepper together at last.
00:12:44All right, now, ladies.
00:12:46Each of these color-coordinated boxes contains an assortment of new and vintage fabrics.
00:12:54One box per team.
00:12:56So, Sminty Drop, as the winner of the Best Hot Mess Award, I'm letting you assign the box in.
00:13:04Oh!
00:13:06Let's see what I can do.
00:13:08Aww.
00:13:10I feel like I should be nice about it, because if I'm not nice about it now, then people are
00:13:13going to throw me under the bus later.
00:13:15Which box are you assigning to yourself and LaFille?
00:13:20Hmm.
00:13:22We'll go for the letter I.
00:13:27My thought process is, I'm wearing blue.
00:13:30I like a bit of blue.
00:13:31I look good in blue.
00:13:32I love blue.
00:13:35Dakota and Baby.
00:13:36I'm going to go for...
00:13:41O.
00:13:42Ooh, let's go get it, my love.
00:13:45Baby's next to me.
00:13:46She's wearing black.
00:13:47She looks bourgeoisie.
00:13:48You can have black.
00:13:50Cheddar and Copper.
00:13:52You are going to have the letter B.
00:13:55Cheddar's wearing some gold jewelry.
00:13:56You can have gold.
00:13:57You seem to like it.
00:13:58Jenny and Pixie.
00:14:00Mmm.
00:14:01I am praying to whatever powers there are that I do not get this green box.
00:14:06You can both go and pick up the letter G.
00:14:09Ooh.
00:14:10Thank God. I'm happy.
00:14:13Let's turn something out, Dani. Come on.
00:14:15Now, Sminty, that means you stuck Black Pepper and J Blonde with the green box.
00:14:23Oh, my God.
00:14:26It's fine.
00:14:27I'll just have to deal with it.
00:14:29You can use your own hair, heels and jewelries, but everything else must come from inside your box.
00:14:37Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
00:14:47The big question, sew.
00:14:49Right.
00:14:50Stu, you sew.
00:14:51I sew.
00:14:52Amazing.
00:14:53I sew on a machine.
00:14:54I'm quite good at hand stitching if I need to, and I'm really good at crafting.
00:14:57I've got a bit of sewing experience, but I don't know my fashions too well, so I want to push
00:15:02the boundaries of copper top and try and bring in a bit of cheddar.
00:15:05I'm so excited to work with you.
00:15:06It's going to be fun.
00:15:07You are a fashion icon.
00:15:12This is my chance to prove myself in the look department.
00:15:15And this is my chance to get a fucking win as well.
00:15:16You're going to get a badger, sweet girlie.
00:15:18We're going to do it.
00:15:18I'm going to get a badger, sweet girl.
00:15:19It is a dream just being able to get to work with baby.
00:15:22I'm just hoping that she's going to bring my personality out.
00:15:25Girl.
00:15:27I'm so excited.
00:15:29What would you say that your aesthetic is like fashion-wise?
00:15:32Chic, sculptural, androgyny, period.
00:15:35Periodness all over that.
00:15:36I'm pretty used to doing something cohesive, but that's when I'm allowed to go into a shop and get the
00:15:40fabrics nice.
00:15:41So, I don't know what shit's in that box.
00:15:50Oh my god, look at this.
00:15:52Let's see what we got.
00:15:54Come in.
00:15:56Right, that can literally choke.
00:15:58That's not coming anywhere near my body.
00:16:00I'm not keen on this.
00:16:01That's not coming anywhere near my body.
00:16:03Oh, that PVC.
00:16:05Okay.
00:16:05Oh, nice.
00:16:06We could even make a pair of leggings to make a pair of matching tights and boot covers.
00:16:09Yes.
00:16:10Headscarves.
00:16:11Puffball skirts.
00:16:11Yeah.
00:16:11If we do like, um, one of us has a skirt and one of us has like a big like
00:16:14drapey sleeve.
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:15We have so much to work with.
00:16:17I just want to use everything.
00:16:18Come on, girl.
00:16:19We've got this.
00:16:21This is a scarf.
00:16:21That looks like it's been shat on by birds.
00:16:24All of that tulle looks like Nana's neck.
00:16:26This is gross.
00:16:27This is gross.
00:16:27This is gross.
00:16:28Um, the selections are interesting.
00:16:32I don't think either of us are feeling very confident.
00:16:37It's okay.
00:16:38It's okay.
00:16:39It's okay.
00:16:39It's okay.
00:16:40It's okay.
00:16:40It's okay.
00:16:41This is lovely for Drapey.
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:43I'm very into that kind of ethereal, deity, Charlotte's throne style of Dior moment, darling.
00:16:50Maybe that's the direction we go down.
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:52I want to be luxurious.
00:16:54I want to be sexy.
00:16:55I want to be better than everybody else.
00:16:59Oh, hold on.
00:17:00Is this?
00:17:01Oh, look at this.
00:17:02What material is this?
00:17:03This is amazing.
00:17:04This is really good.
00:17:05This is nice.
00:17:06I feel like this would work really well in terms of structural.
00:17:09Yeah, exactly.
00:17:10I love playing with different fabrics and textures, so I'm really excited.
00:17:14Looking at everything that we have, I think we can knock this out of the bar pack.
00:17:18I honestly think we've got some great fabrics here.
00:17:20Curse Pepper and I love fashion.
00:17:22We want to push the boundary a little bit and stay positive.
00:17:25I want to win.
00:17:25I want to win.
00:17:26This is fashion.
00:17:27It's my king.
00:17:28This is a lagoon.
00:17:29I don't like that.
00:17:30What is that?
00:17:31Isn't that great?
00:17:32Oh my God.
00:17:32Phil, what have we got?
00:17:35I feel like I've stitched myself up here.
00:17:38Okay, this is...
00:17:41I hate metallics.
00:17:43I don't like sequins.
00:17:44I don't like all this horrible spandex lycra stuff.
00:17:47I'm throwing in the towel, darling.
00:17:50We can do it, babe.
00:17:51We can do it.
00:17:52I'm like, oh no.
00:17:53I have got to pull Sminty out of this zone.
00:17:55And so I'm going to be really optimistic about all the fabrics.
00:17:58We can turn any mess into something lovely.
00:18:01Come on, babes.
00:18:02We can do it.
00:18:03We can do it.
00:18:04I want to close the box and throw it in a river and watch it go down the stream.
00:18:11And I want to cry in a bush.
00:18:27So if we have a leotard garment underneath, and then we just build onto it.
00:18:32Like just make some little shards, hem them, and stitch them on.
00:18:36I really like that idea.
00:18:38You alright, babes?
00:18:42Bingo.
00:18:45J Blonde, Black Peppa, come on in.
00:18:48Hello there.
00:18:49Hello.
00:18:50I'm excited about this pairing.
00:18:52Are we going to see some fashion forward silhouettes from you in this challenge?
00:18:56Oh yeah.
00:18:57I hope so. I think so.
00:18:58What have you come up with so far?
00:18:59So we have gone with a sort of fashion warrior.
00:19:03Sort of strong lines using the triangle shape.
00:19:07I love a cape.
00:19:08A cape?
00:19:09A cape.
00:19:11So you have these geometric shapes here.
00:19:14So I'm really good at like weaving and woven fabrics.
00:19:17And I manipulate the fabric in a way that it can look very artistic.
00:19:21Oh fantastic.
00:19:22Strong lines, strong image.
00:19:23Well fingers crossed that you can make it work.
00:19:27I'm really happy that Ru likes the sketches and the concepts and the ideas that we just presented.
00:19:32And yeah, the pressure is on.
00:19:35Chopper and Cheddar.
00:19:36So are you an unlikely pairing?
00:19:39Actually, I think we're quite a nice pairing.
00:19:41Falling at the chopper effect.
00:19:43Oh, I love that.
00:19:45I love that.
00:19:45And collectively you have more experience than the whole room put together.
00:19:49All right, wow.
00:19:52Ru, come on.
00:19:53I'm actually not even that old.
00:19:55Cheddar, you did not snatch a trophy today.
00:19:58Copper, you did snatch a trophy.
00:20:00I did.
00:20:01The most faded in the background?
00:20:03Yes.
00:20:04I think a lot of these girls think that I am a quiet person.
00:20:09But I'm a dark horse and I'm going to show them what Copper's got.
00:20:12Okay, well, I cannot wait.
00:20:15Get back to work.
00:20:16We're on it.
00:20:17Baby and Dakota, where do you all meet?
00:20:20I think you're bringing a bit of confidence out in me that I've been really needing to bring out.
00:20:24And hopefully it pays off because I think we're really excited about what we're doing.
00:20:27Yeah, I think we on the judges panel are ready to not see subtle from you.
00:20:32Okay.
00:20:32Well, I'm ready to give you extravagance.
00:20:34Yes.
00:20:35Ru wants exaggeration.
00:20:37I certainly feel like that's what I get with working with Baby is just like an energy that someone next
00:20:42to me that is just so confident and unapologetic.
00:20:44We're going for a Richard Quinn, 90s Versace fusion and really go different textures, different patterns, but still make it
00:20:52cohesive and high fashion.
00:20:54Okay, I'll be the judge of that.
00:20:57I look forward to it.
00:20:59All right, great.
00:21:00Well, get back to work.
00:21:01Thank you so much.
00:21:03Danny Pixie.
00:21:04Now I see some sketches there.
00:21:06Yes.
00:21:06Please don't judge our abilities.
00:21:07Because this looks like a kid's colouring in book.
00:21:10So you've got a skirt dress, a mini dress that has ruching up the sides.
00:21:15Yeah.
00:21:15I mean, I've seen every episode of this show.
00:21:18And every time you say, don't reinvent the wheel.
00:21:21It's a nice, simple dress.
00:21:22It's going to hug our figures.
00:21:24Doing a simple silhouette is smart, but also somehow embellishing it in a way that makes it a little more
00:21:30special.
00:21:30I'm not going to lie.
00:21:32I'm shitting myself.
00:21:33Oh, really?
00:21:34Yeah, babe.
00:21:34This ain't me.
00:21:35But then last week want me and I've got a badge on me tits.
00:21:38So let's do it.
00:21:39Well, ladies, I can't wait to see what you come up with.
00:21:42So this should be interesting.
00:21:44Interesting it will happen.
00:21:46Yes.
00:21:47I think it's going to look very chic, simple, but effective.
00:21:52Come through.
00:21:53I'm still unsure as to what I'm even going to put through that sewing machine.
00:21:57I'm just hoping that I can sort of chat some dung through this talk with Ru.
00:22:01It's a very pretty colour you have there.
00:22:04I did have a bit of a mental breakdown about it.
00:22:06You did?
00:22:07We did.
00:22:07What was your mental breakdown?
00:22:08I get really stressed really quickly and then I get really in my head and then I need
00:22:13to sort of like snap myself out of it and that's when like the fab stuff starts happening.
00:22:16So once I've gotten over that, which I've gotten over it now, I think now-
00:22:19Are you over it, darling?
00:22:21I'm not!
00:22:21No.
00:22:22What award did you snatch today?
00:22:25The chaotic hot mess one.
00:22:27And I can totally see why.
00:22:29In that side.
00:22:30What are you doing?
00:22:30Are the outfits complementing each other?
00:22:33I think that's what we wanted to try and work on a bit more.
00:22:38I kind of want to challenge myself, but I'm also like, am I being stupid?
00:22:41Like I don't want to go home.
00:22:45Oh, so you're earning your award right now.
00:22:47I'm trying to.
00:22:49Where does that come from?
00:22:50I've got so many ideas in my head because my mind just is like, like scatterbrained.
00:22:55Listen, that's a great thing.
00:22:56What you've got to do is you've got to learn how to trust your instincts.
00:22:59So you do all the chaotic stuff, right?
00:23:01That's all good.
00:23:02You go each of those ideas, then go here and go, how does it feel here?
00:23:06It's a balance between your intellectual DNA, which is going in circles, and then your intuition.
00:23:11Yeah.
00:23:11That's the key.
00:23:12Well, I can't wait to see the fashion show.
00:23:14Thank you so much.
00:23:16I can't get started on this sewing unless we finalize the designs.
00:23:21So, Miss Minty, calm down.
00:23:23Or it's going to be a whole other world.
00:23:25Oh shit.
00:23:27Let's do it.
00:23:27We're fine.
00:23:28Come on.
00:23:28Come on.
00:23:29Let's go get sewing machines.
00:23:30I just will never be happy.
00:23:31Hey.
00:23:32I know.
00:23:42Everybody, I would like to know who here voted me for the most likely to fade into the background.
00:23:52Orcs.
00:23:56Hi.
00:23:57I definitely put you up there top, love, but it's because it's more quiet.
00:24:02But that means fade into the background.
00:24:04Obviously, these awards are all fun and games, but these girls are secretly threatened.
00:24:09Baby, I'm sorry, Gorge.
00:24:11It's not like I don't respect you or what you do.
00:24:13I had to answer a question, but there's no balance behind that at all, Gorge.
00:24:17I would hate you to think that this is like a major shady thing.
00:24:21But for me, the award is the person who fades into the background.
00:24:25And I don't think I fade into the background, so I just want to make sure that no one here...
00:24:29Well, the curly people disagree with you.
00:24:31I think Copper feels like it's a little bit unfair, because I think for Copper, she knows that she puts
00:24:36it out there when she gets up on stage.
00:24:39So she's just playing a different game to everybody else.
00:24:41Babe, are you upset?
00:24:42No!
00:24:43Be honest, if you are, I am sorry if you are.
00:24:45There's loads of loud mouths in this room, but we are definitely not the loud mouths.
00:24:49Dad, mate!
00:24:51I mean, the real tragedy that happened was that RuPaul said that my name's terrible.
00:24:56Wrong.
00:24:58You know what?
00:24:59Sometimes the truth hurts.
00:25:06Right, I need to get sewing.
00:25:11You need to cut out a lot of strips.
00:25:12Yeah.
00:25:13I have in my mind something very structural.
00:25:16It's gonna look really good.
00:25:17I think we're gonna smash that apart.
00:25:19We need to do it really, really well.
00:25:20Yeah.
00:25:21And make sure our lines are really straight.
00:25:22Exactly.
00:25:22And everything is clean, sharp cut.
00:25:24All the weaving, manipulating of the patterns and stuff would be structured on me and be...
00:25:30So, we're gonna play with fabrics here.
00:25:34Look at you going on that dab, Anju.
00:25:36Hey, check that shit out.
00:25:38I got this!
00:25:39I got this!
00:25:51And I think, you know, she's gonna make a piece of pieces.
00:25:52She's an icon.
00:25:53She's an absolute legend.
00:25:54But I think that's your superpower.
00:25:56Do you reckon?
00:25:56Well, we'll see.
00:25:57We'll see whether it is.
00:25:59But I think my main fear is like slipping too much into something that's kind of too drag
00:26:03and not enough fashion.
00:26:04Sure.
00:26:05We'll at least have some leotards.
00:26:07It'll be absolutely fine.
00:26:08And they'll be the best darn leotards on that runway.
00:26:12Let's cut something out.
00:26:21I'm gonna do a hood with a swirl on my head because that's what I've got in the noggin right
00:26:25now and that's what's gonna be translated on the stage.
00:26:33Is this me?
00:26:36Can you see through that?
00:26:37Yeah, I can.
00:26:39I can see your attitude right through it.
00:26:47I actually kind of like it like this.
00:26:49I do kind of like it because it's not really lip-reading skirt right now.
00:26:52It reads drama.
00:26:54There's a lot of ambitions happening.
00:26:58Do you like my skirt?
00:27:00A bit of in bag realness.
00:27:02A little bit, but I'm gonna have that shirt up here.
00:27:05Come on, design.
00:27:07Designer girl.
00:27:08You're not doing this I've got a songwriting degree thing again, are you?
00:27:13Listen.
00:27:14I'm a designer.
00:27:15I'm a designer.
00:27:16What, should we be in a fucking bottom?
00:27:17Again?
00:27:17No.
00:27:18Never.
00:27:27I say we use the scissors.
00:27:28Yeah, I say we use the scissors for good.
00:27:30Jumbo's pepper.
00:27:32How's it going?
00:27:33Yeah, good so far.
00:27:34Is that all the fabric that you're using for what you're doing?
00:27:37I've already done my skirt, so I've already got the longest part of fabric that I need done.
00:27:41There's loads of stuff that you're cutting out.
00:27:42It's just like getting the lines straight and cutting it out perfectly.
00:27:45It's gonna take ages.
00:27:47How long is ages?
00:27:48I don't know.
00:27:49You don't have much time, do it?
00:27:50I don't know.
00:27:50To be honest, but this is what the fabric's gonna look like, but weaved up.
00:27:55When do you think you can get something on the mannequin to start having a look at it?
00:27:58Um, maybe in the next hour.
00:28:01The timers are ticking, and they need something to walk in, so hopefully they can pull it out of the
00:28:05bag.
00:28:06As you know how this turns out, what you think you wanna do is never gonna turn out how you
00:28:10exactly want it to be.
00:28:12I have no idea what's gonna happen, but I'm just gonna crack on to it and get going and make
00:28:18sure that it comes together and ties really well,
00:28:20because it really comes down to the fine details.
00:28:23A lot of people have got half the fabric lying on the floor, the other half is have got the
00:28:27glue guns out.
00:28:28I've never seen fashion like it.
00:28:30But do you want that hem sitting on your waist and those hems aren't matching in the back?
00:28:33They don't match.
00:28:34They don't.
00:28:35I think because it's black it'll be fine.
00:28:38God only knows what Ruth's gonna say on the runway.
00:28:41Do you say this is meant to be like Olympics or drag?
00:28:43It's not.
00:28:44It's like fucking SAS who dares win.
00:28:49Runway day!
00:28:50Runway time!
00:28:51Let's get to scratch, ladies!
00:28:54It's elimination day and we have been tasked with preparing two cohesive matching high fashion looks.
00:29:01Hello, old friend.
00:29:02We've still got a bit of time to work on our outfits this morning, so anything can happen.
00:29:06How are you feeling?
00:29:07I'm feeling way more confident than I was yesterday.
00:29:10I feel like yesterday I was having a bit of a shadow.
00:29:13I know.
00:29:13If I'm in one of those moods I'll literally drag the whole room down with me so nobody else can
00:29:16succeed.
00:29:18Do you think with all the pieces that we're still left to do that we'll get this done in time?
00:29:22Yeah.
00:29:22Good.
00:29:23Oh my god, I love the spirit.
00:29:24Mine and Le Phil's vision sort of seems a bit more realised now.
00:29:28I can actually see something coming to life.
00:29:32We're not doing it.
00:29:36Maybe I might just do it, my love.
00:29:38I literally feel so stressed out.
00:29:41Right, we're meant to be complimentary.
00:29:42Are we complimentary?
00:29:43Are we complimentary?
00:29:44You've got one little geode.
00:29:45We're both Midas, aren't we?
00:29:46Midas-y.
00:29:47Yeah, I've taken another one at the back here.
00:29:49Copper has veered towards this sort of 60s science fiction Barbarella fantasy,
00:29:53whereas I have veered in the direction of, well, a really snazzy rock.
00:30:00But you know what, we're going to sell it on this runway.
00:30:03Are you going to do white shoes?
00:30:04Not sure.
00:30:06Just, I'm not sure.
00:30:09I've got black, will be very superhero, super villain.
00:30:12I've got black boots.
00:30:14I've got them with a copper bottom.
00:30:16What size are you?
00:30:17Ten.
00:30:18You're ten, you could take those.
00:30:20Maybe there's an exception for white boots, but with that outfit...
00:30:25I mean, if you need anything, shall we?
00:30:27I think we're going to try these white boots, because for me, that's the Barbarella fantasy.
00:30:36One, two, three, four, where the fuck is the fifth one?
00:30:41Fuck's sake.
00:30:43I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit worried today, because this weaving technique took so much time,
00:30:48that I'm like, today, I need to actually figure out how I'm going to piece this on my body,
00:30:53because I don't actually know what's going to happen now.
00:30:55Oh, fuck.
00:30:57I am starting to have a little bit of a heart palpitation,
00:31:00but I'm used to this in my styling days.
00:31:03Yo, everything always comes together at the last minute.
00:31:05So, like, this is fine, but, like, we need to make sure this looks clean.
00:31:08Okay, cool.
00:31:08So, like, at least where the judges can see.
00:31:11Yep.
00:31:15Everyone's doing their makeup, I know, for fuck's sake.
00:31:21You feeling good?
00:31:22Feeling good.
00:31:23I was just looking at these pictures of you and Joe, they're so cute.
00:31:27How long have you been together?
00:31:28Over ten years, you know.
00:31:29That's a long time.
00:31:30We have met him in uni, and we've been, honestly, best mates ever since.
00:31:33Ever since, that's so sweet.
00:31:34And he's honestly my rock, like, I don't do this job without him.
00:31:39He gets in the car and travels to the arsehole of the country
00:31:42so I can sing to 15 people and a dog.
00:31:46And he's there with me, holding me hand every step of the way.
00:31:48He's your roadie.
00:31:49Honey's everything.
00:31:52Do you miss him, Angela?
00:31:54Yeah.
00:31:55It's alright.
00:31:56I know.
00:31:57Just my passing mate.
00:31:59It's hard being away from everything, you know, though.
00:32:01It's, I get, I get heavy feelings, like, this last year
00:32:04it's been a huge adjustment for me, like, being away, like, apart from Tia,
00:32:07because, like, we broke up.
00:32:09Are you together still?
00:32:10About a year ago.
00:32:11Me and Tia Coffee, from season two, we used to be in a relationship.
00:32:14We were together for about five years, and because of mistakes that I made,
00:32:19we are no longer together, and there's a lot I've still not processed from it.
00:32:25We went from living together, working together, you know,
00:32:29having the same friends, and to go from that to, like,
00:32:32being around.
00:32:33My heart was, like, really, really difficult.
00:32:35I've had some, like, really dark times this year.
00:32:38And a few months.
00:32:40Me and Tia are still very close, and it's hard being here,
00:32:45knowing, after all that we've been through, that she is, you know,
00:32:49at home really, really being my biggest cheerleader.
00:32:55I feel a lot of pressure on myself to make her proud.
00:33:00Being reminded of Tia.
00:33:02This is your moment to shine.
00:33:04I'm finally here.
00:33:05Yeah.
00:33:06So let's make it count.
00:33:08Pixie needs to let go and know that she is a gorgeous drag queen inside and out.
00:33:13She needs to know she's worth it.
00:33:16Stop fucking crying, because I'll keep crying,
00:33:18and then we're not going to get our face done.
00:33:20It's so disgusting.
00:33:21That's fashion.
00:33:22But is it fashion?
00:33:25Cheddar, I'm curious, how is dating for you?
00:33:29Ooh.
00:33:30Do you know, it used to be quite hard.
00:33:32I remember when I first started doing drag,
00:33:35it was a real weird turn-off for people.
00:33:39Dating as a drag queen, people who may be into more femme people
00:33:44don't really go for me.
00:33:46People who are into more masculine people,
00:33:49they don't go for me because they think the sense that I do drag
00:33:51is a little bit of a disruption
00:33:54of the fantasy that they want to project onto me.
00:33:57You know, I was once dumped for having no eyebrows.
00:33:59Really?
00:34:00And he told me.
00:34:04One of those moments where you're like,
00:34:05do you know what, it's for the best.
00:34:06Yeah, it's fine.
00:34:07It's for the best, actually.
00:34:08It's fine.
00:34:09You head off hard.
00:34:10It used to be a lot harder, but I am actually in a relationship now.
00:34:14It's really lovely and it's really full of love,
00:34:15and I'm just not as worried about what people think of me anymore.
00:34:18It feels a lot.
00:34:19I'm easier now, or maybe I've just become more okay
00:34:22with not worrying about people who might have that kind of attitude.
00:34:27Are you in a relationship with anyone,
00:34:28or have you had much luck with love?
00:34:31I've never really had a long relationship
00:34:32where I've ever said I love you to someone.
00:34:36Most of the guys that I've dated have been straight.
00:34:39Really?
00:34:39Yeah, and this is their first queer relationship or something,
00:34:43and that seems to be a running thing.
00:34:45Yeah, it's so frustrating, because just the way that I'm so gender fluid,
00:34:48that actually, like, the more femme I am,
00:34:50then it's harder to meet gay guys,
00:34:52but then it's easier to meet straight guys,
00:34:54but then they don't want the relationships.
00:34:56That's always really difficult,
00:34:57because it's like, you start developing feelings,
00:34:59and then other things come into play.
00:35:01Like, for them, it's like, the outside factors,
00:35:03like, what do their parents think?
00:35:05It's like, we're not dirty little secret.
00:35:06It's just like, if you want to be with me, then be proud of it.
00:35:09Say it with your chest.
00:35:10Like, I don't want to be hidden.
00:35:11Most of the relationships that I've been in have ended because of that.
00:35:13Yeah.
00:35:15It just becomes this, like, balance of, like,
00:35:17well, do I compromise my own expression to date someone,
00:35:21or do I just go full hog and really love myself,
00:35:25and then just sort of give up from the fact that I might find a perfect partner?
00:35:29I don't know, maybe one day,
00:35:30maybe one day someone's going to like my long hair strands
00:35:33and be, like, completely gay.
00:35:34I like your long hair as well.
00:35:35Oh, babes.
00:35:37I think I really have some as well.
00:35:38Handsome and pretty and gorgeous.
00:35:44I'm just seeing a lot of hot glue and prayer going on in this workroom right now.
00:35:50It's taken so much more time than I imagined it taking,
00:35:53and I'm looking around, and everyone's cracking on,
00:35:55and everyone's putting their dress on,
00:35:57and I'm just like, Peppa, focus on yourself.
00:36:01I just, I need to calm myself down.
00:36:02I just need to get this done.
00:36:03Yes.
00:36:04But you know what?
00:36:05We're just going to have to serve it.
00:36:06So, there you go.
00:36:09Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
00:36:13My partner in crime, Michelle Visage.
00:36:16Now, Michelle, we are so close.
00:36:18We can finish each other's...
00:36:20Finishes.
00:36:21No, actually, I was going to say sandwiches.
00:36:23Aww.
00:36:23Well, we toss each other salads, too.
00:36:25That's true.
00:36:27Yes.
00:36:27The super-spexy Alan Carr.
00:36:31Now, Alan, do you play bingo?
00:36:33Ru.
00:36:34Do I really look like the kind of bloke that spends his money
00:36:37sitting in some grotty, smoky, stinking bingo?
00:36:40Yes, I love it.
00:36:44And the gorgeous cover girl, Leomi Anderson.
00:36:48Hello, my darling.
00:36:50Hello, Ru.
00:36:52Are you feeling lucky tonight?
00:36:54Oh, baby.
00:36:55I feel like I've hit the jackpot already just looking at you.
00:36:59Working in pairs this week, we challenged our queens
00:37:03to create two complimentary looks.
00:37:05And tonight on the runway, category is bingo, she better don't.
00:37:12Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
00:37:19Up first, Sminty Drop and LaFille.
00:37:23Cool.
00:37:24From the Modesty Swimwear Collection.
00:37:27This is Cool to Runway.
00:37:29We're giving you synchronized swim at 12 and red carpet realness at 6pm.
00:37:33The attitude is giving very...
00:37:37We are the shape of quarter.
00:37:41We're not twinning, we are individuals united.
00:37:44Bitches stole my abs.
00:37:46I'm getting blue balls just looking at them.
00:37:51I mean, wanting to be a supermodel and walking in front of a supermodel,
00:37:55it's the dream come true, really.
00:37:56Like, Leomi, what management are you with?
00:37:59Hook me.
00:38:01Two sarongs, make a right.
00:38:06Black Peppa and J Blonde.
00:38:10You know, the ass is always greener on the other side.
00:38:14Peppa and I are freshening up the runway in our mint green high fashion look.
00:38:18And I am serving you woven apple pie realness, babe.
00:38:23Does it look good?
00:38:24No, it might not.
00:38:25But am I serving it?
00:38:26Oh, hell yeah, I am.
00:38:27Bottega, I hardly know her.
00:38:31Look, I look a hot mess, okay?
00:38:33And I'm walking and this skirt is traveling down.
00:38:36And I'm just like, please don't fall, please don't fall.
00:38:39I can see your skirt starting to slip.
00:38:40Don't drop try yet.
00:38:43Off with her shred.
00:38:48Tenny beard, pixie polite.
00:38:51Oh, the Olsen twins have gone to the dark side.
00:38:55Today on the runway, we are serving you plus size perfection.
00:39:00We are embodying your drunk aunt who was asked to model at the local shopping centre.
00:39:05And I'm feeling stunning, gal.
00:39:08We've got matching black 60s inspired hair with an edgy twist.
00:39:13I've got a lovely pair of little gloves with some little finger cut-outs.
00:39:17Because you know, you can never give too much finger.
00:39:19This look looks great on you.
00:39:23We're proud, big ladies, with big attitudes, dripping in gold.
00:39:28We've been down cash converters to get it all.
00:39:31And we'll be taking it back tomorrow.
00:39:33Have I got bruise for you.
00:39:36I wanted to tell a bruise joke too, fuck.
00:39:41Dakota Schiffer and Baby.
00:39:44Ooh, Baby got black.
00:39:48I know the judges can't take us.
00:39:51We're giving Naomi and Claudia, pounding down this runway.
00:39:54We have these gorgeous silhouettes.
00:39:56And I just feel so proud that we've been able to pull this together.
00:39:59And Dakota is my girl.
00:40:01To share this with her, it's just the best feeling ever.
00:40:03This is giving me Versace, couture.
00:40:06Oh, this is a supermodel serve. I love it.
00:40:11Baby has given me a new lease of life and sense of confidence.
00:40:14And I'm walking that runway.
00:40:15We're more fashion.
00:40:16It's modern.
00:40:17We're not matching.
00:40:18And I've never felt more beautiful.
00:40:21Oh, Bo, she better don't.
00:40:25Copper top, cheddar gorgeous.
00:40:28Goldie, lock her up and throw away the key.
00:40:32We are giving you full on superhero and supervillain vibes.
00:40:37I am the evil villainess from all of your science fiction fantasies.
00:40:42And my beautiful sister Copper is the Barbarella Halloween.
00:40:45Come to save the planet from me.
00:40:48Ooh, she's giving me the finger.
00:40:49The gold finger.
00:40:53I'm swishing my cape around.
00:40:55And may I remind you, the cape is lined, people.
00:40:58It is lined.
00:40:59We just thought we'd keep it camp, we'd keep it fun,
00:41:02but also with that edge of glamour.
00:41:05Do I make you horny, baby?
00:41:08No?
00:41:08All right.
00:41:16Welcome, ladies.
00:41:18I've made some decisions.
00:41:23Danny Beard.
00:41:25Pixie Polite.
00:41:28You are safe.
00:41:31Thank you so much.
00:41:32You may leave the stage.
00:41:34Thank you very much.
00:41:34Thank you all. Thank you.
00:41:41Ladies, you represent the tops and bottoms of the week.
00:41:45Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
00:41:49All right, let's start with Sminty Drop and LaFille.
00:41:54You two complimented each other so well.
00:41:56This is vintage model swimwear and it's simple, but the construction is wonderful.
00:42:04There are so many finished ruching moments in this, which is so difficult to do.
00:42:10LaFille, the way you did the shoulder craftsmanship, very well done.
00:42:13This top, if it goes missing at any point in time, don't come looking for me, don't come looking for
00:42:20me because I love it.
00:42:22But Sminty, the skirt, I think the only thing that would have made it 100% perfect is not seeing
00:42:27your panty under it.
00:42:28I know you tried your best and you gotta, I know, you gotta do what you gotta do.
00:42:32But I thought you two did such a splendid job tonight.
00:42:36Blue is such a meh colour and you made it sexy, you made it quite icy yet fiery as well.
00:42:43And Sminty, listen, if I had a body like that, I'd be wearing that to take the bins out.
00:42:47I mean, it's just, I would. I mean, where'd you get abs like that?
00:42:53Honestly, when this steps out on the runway, I saw high fashion, I saw couture, it's all the little details.
00:42:59I love the stockings and I love sparkle too. And you two, you shone perfect.
00:43:05It looks fantastic.
00:43:07Now, did you make the jewellery?
00:43:09Everything you see was from a box.
00:43:12Nice.
00:43:13I honestly can't sing LaFille's praises high enough.
00:43:16I was literally having the biggest breakdown of my life. I opened that box.
00:43:19Wait a minute. Now, I find that hard to believe. You're calling this one the biggest?
00:43:24Every one to me is the biggest.
00:43:26But yeah, honestly, I don't know if I would have had the outfit that I've got right now if she
00:43:31didn't say,
00:43:32pull your shit together, girl.
00:43:34Well, thank you, ladies.
00:43:36All right, up next, Black Pepper and JB, y'all. JBlonde.
00:43:42First of all, I do love this jade colour. It looks incredible on Black Pepper's skin.
00:43:46On yours, Jambers, it washes you out a little bit.
00:43:49So, in order to counteract that, a darker hair would have completely changed the look, in my opinion.
00:43:56I think the weaving was great, but the more you walked, the sadder it got.
00:44:01Yeah.
00:44:01I appreciate the time that went into it. The execution with that material, though, wasn't the one.
00:44:06I love the texture of it, but it's just that fine-tuning, isn't it?
00:44:11Like, if you're gonna go for strips, then make sure it's the best-looking strip going.
00:44:16I'm getting a glimpse of how fabulous it would have looked, but it just didn't work this time.
00:44:22In my notes, I wrote high fashion quarterbacks, because I quite like the kind of asymmetric vibe that's going on.
00:44:28And I like the fact that you both had that, as well. I love the bra shape. I feel like
00:44:32it complements your body, and you've really created a silhouette, considering that the fabric hasn't got much movement in it.
00:44:37But I feel like it's just the finishing touches that might have let you down.
00:44:40I do admire your ambition with this outfit.
00:44:45Now, you've worked as a stylist. Is there anything you would have changed?
00:44:48Well, I would have liked to have a little bit more time just to finesse.
00:44:51Time?
00:44:52Time!
00:44:54Because, like, just before we went on the runway, my zip bust, and I had to put a new zip
00:44:58in, as well.
00:44:58Are there zippers in the front of your outfit, Black Peppa?
00:45:01Yeah.
00:45:01What was the thinking behind that?
00:45:03It was meant to be at the back of the skirt, and as I started moving, I don't know how
00:45:08it ended up...
00:45:12It's called lying!
00:45:18All right, well, thank you very much.
00:45:20All right, up next, Dakota Schiffer and Baby.
00:45:24You two worked so lovely together.
00:45:26I love that you are completely associated, but not twinning.
00:45:31It's like 60s meets the 90s.
00:45:33Dakota, I love how you accessorized with the thigh highs.
00:45:36I love the gloves.
00:45:37I love that you chose to do a bare leg rather than the thigh high.
00:45:41You were stomping the runway like models, which made me very, very happy.
00:45:44And tonight was a strong night.
00:45:46Now, the color black can be quite somber, but you took the essence of the color and built up from
00:45:52there.
00:45:52On paper, those materials shouldn't work together, but you're like chicken tikka lasagna.
00:45:57You shouldn't work, but you do.
00:45:59I need to try that.
00:46:01Honestly, when you two stepped out on the runway, it was giving me very much a complete collection.
00:46:07I love the fact that you had the puff sleeves and then you had the puff skirt.
00:46:10Baby, you've made your legs look really long by creating kind of like a high-waisted cinch snatch detail there.
00:46:15And your outfits both look very, very finished and polished.
00:46:18I had so much fun watching you.
00:46:19I wrote 10.
00:46:22These outfits really came together.
00:46:23Your eye doesn't really know where to land because it's so much fun.
00:46:27They're so fun.
00:46:28Like, baby's really brought me out my shell as well.
00:46:30Like, I think I've been, like, a little nervous since I've been here.
00:46:33And, like, working with her has just been the best.
00:46:36And it's just I can't sing her praises enough.
00:46:39All right.
00:46:40Well, thank you very much.
00:46:41Up next, copper top and cheddar gorgeous.
00:46:45So, one of my favorite colors, you kids got gold and copper.
00:46:48In general, I think this outfit is just a little too simple for a design challenge.
00:46:54I love the tinsel hair, but it's very round.
00:46:58Also, gold leaving, I feel like you could have kept that on the body and not your face.
00:47:02It just, for my eyes, it doesn't work for me.
00:47:05Whereas, cheddar, the whole character was realized and still done your way.
00:47:11So, together.
00:47:12You felt a little disconnected.
00:47:13I didn't like the boots.
00:47:15Copper top.
00:47:16I wonder whether maybe you should have just gone for a sandal or, you know, with a heel, of course.
00:47:21Or, like, that Jason and the Argonauts kind of feel.
00:47:24But the cape, for me, saves the day.
00:47:26Cheddar Gorge.
00:47:27Look at that.
00:47:28I don't know what you've done with it, but you've made it look like molten gold.
00:47:32Copper top.
00:47:33I love the hands.
00:47:35Some people call me Leomi Henderson, so I very much appreciated the details there.
00:47:39I wish that you made the crotch, like, higher, like, more, like, high-waisted to make your legs look longer.
00:47:44I think that would have looked really great.
00:47:46Cheddar, your bodice has a French cut, and Copper's does not.
00:47:49Why didn't you tell her, you know, let's hike up the line of your bodysuit?
00:47:54I'm just more of a slut.
00:47:57I would just swear I feel more natural.
00:48:03Listen, Cheddar, this outfit is gorgeous.
00:48:05The proportions, the draping, it's perfection.
00:48:08Yeah.
00:48:08It's absolutely wonderful, and my only critique is, why doesn't your sister have more of these elements to it?
00:48:14We ended up sort of going with a kind of a Barbarella vibe, and we thought that if I just
00:48:18had sort of less, then that kind of more villainous vibe would come through in Cheddar.
00:48:23Well, thank you so much.
00:48:25Well, thank you, ladies.
00:48:26I think we've heard enough.
00:48:28While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I deliberate.
00:48:33You may leave the stage.
00:48:37Fine, at least we're not up there wondering if...
00:48:40Getting ripped apart.
00:48:41Yeah, literally.
00:48:42Peppa's dress.
00:48:44You spent a whole day making a lattice, cutting up a nice piece of fabric.
00:48:50It's not pie week, love.
00:48:53Yeah.
00:48:54Hi.
00:48:59How's everyone feeling?
00:49:02I know I'm in the bottom.
00:49:04There definitely weren't great comments.
00:49:07It just down to the fit, yeah, and we see that being so ambitious sometimes doesn't get you necessarily anywhere.
00:49:14It is difficult winning week one, bam, and then to now potentially going home.
00:49:20So disappointed that it just didn't pay off, because I thought if we pull this off, we definitely have this
00:49:24in a bag, and you know what, it didn't work out.
00:49:27They were very positive about Cheddar.
00:49:28I am so confused.
00:49:31Did you like the little corn flakes on your face?
00:49:33They wanted to eat me up for breakfast, darling, eat me up for breakfast.
00:49:38I'm blown away by the things that the judges said to me.
00:49:42So I feel good, but I also feel so bad for Copper right now, because we were together in a
00:49:47team.
00:49:48I do think they were a little more positive on Cheddar than they were on Copper, obviously.
00:49:58I don't know how to feel right now.
00:50:00It seems the judges are in love with Cheddar, and whatever I do, they're just not impressed.
00:50:07I actually was just thinking if I go, I just really miss you all.
00:50:14Bitch, you sound like you're checking out. You need to fight.
00:50:17I'm gonna fight. I am gonna fight.
00:50:19Whatever happens, you got this, babe.
00:50:23I need to know now what they thought of Team Blue.
00:50:25They really liked her look, which I'm so happy about.
00:50:28Yeah, they fuck her look.
00:50:29Fuck it!
00:50:31I'm really proud of Smitty, because Smitty pulled it through all that chaos,
00:50:34and managed to come up with some creative ideas that pushed mine better as well.
00:50:37So we could be on to a winner.
00:50:38That'll be two weeks in a row, baby.
00:50:40So do you reckon you've won?
00:50:45Let's get to the next week, Gracie.
00:50:46I think they're the winner.
00:50:47Obviously, like, I think we have a chance. I think it's between the two of us.
00:50:50I genuinely think we have a chance.
00:50:52I was so upset that I had flopped at the first challenge,
00:50:55because I love fashion, and it's the reason I do drag.
00:50:58And they got me. I feel like they saw me on that runway.
00:51:00I have never felt like this before.
00:51:03It's the kind of validation you can only dream of,
00:51:05and I just feel like I've redeemed myself.
00:51:08Based off of critiques, who do we think is actually lip-syncing?
00:51:13If I have to lip-sync, I'm fucking ready to do so,
00:51:15because I'm not fucking going home.
00:51:17That's the attitude, bitch. That is the attitude.
00:51:19Listen, I done it last week.
00:51:20Don't want to do it again this week.
00:51:22But if I'm gonna, I'm gonna do it.
00:51:27With any luck, the lip-sync song will be American Pie.
00:51:34All right, now, just between us squirrel friends,
00:51:36I want to know what's on your mind.
00:51:40Okay.
00:51:41Let's start with Sminty and LaFille.
00:51:44I loved this.
00:51:46It just was retro and fabulous and modern all at the same time.
00:51:51And I love this Sminty.
00:51:53She did a different silhouette.
00:51:55She gave me supermodel.
00:51:57LaFille, there was so many details.
00:51:59The underwired bra, the shoulders, the draperies.
00:52:04That outfit, chef's kiss.
00:52:06Clearly, they know how to put an outfit together.
00:52:09With the material, it was like watching a gorgeous river go across the stage.
00:52:12To get moved by such a mer color is testament to how good they are.
00:52:16Why do you keep calling it the mer color?
00:52:18Blue is the new green.
00:52:19Blue is the new green.
00:52:19No effect.
00:52:20You make it look gorgeous.
00:52:22But I mean...
00:52:23Blue is like...
00:52:24Blue is green, Alan.
00:52:25It's not.
00:52:26It's not like green.
00:52:27Now you're getting personal.
00:52:30There you go.
00:52:31Let's move on down to Black Pepper and her partner, John Burrs.
00:52:34I appreciate them wanting to be Bottega Veneta.
00:52:38But what we got was, Bottega, you better change it.
00:52:42Listen, it's when bad material happens to good people.
00:52:46Yes.
00:52:47John Burr's outfit, I think, was the better of the two.
00:52:50Yeah.
00:52:50But there were parts, it looked like they didn't finish weaving them in time.
00:52:53Yeah.
00:52:53John Burr's skirt, it was like my least favorite part of the outfit.
00:52:57I kind of wish that something was done a little bit different just to make it a little bit more
00:53:00zhuzhed up.
00:53:01And again, the dark hair would have given me more of like a Bella Hadid instead of a Bella Hadidin.
00:53:08Enough with these puns, please.
00:53:10It's more Donatella than Donatella.
00:53:14This is where, in this competition, you have to be quick on your toes.
00:53:18If something isn't working, you have to change it sooner rather than later.
00:53:22Bad judgment there.
00:53:23Let's move on down to Dakota and Baby, Baby, Baby.
00:53:27Well, if you think black is boring, safe and dreary, think again.
00:53:32Because when Dakota and Baby came round the corner, it was like two naughty girls on a school trip.
00:53:37And I just loved it.
00:53:38Everywhere I looked, I saw something.
00:53:40Oh, they've got similar hair.
00:53:41Oh, they've got really cute bow.
00:53:43I was so impressed.
00:53:44They accented each other so beautifully.
00:53:47And this truly does remind me of this Versace show, 1992.
00:53:51And it was exactly what I think they were going for.
00:53:53With Dakota, she just felt herself.
00:53:56Her and Baby worked so well together.
00:53:58Their looks just look finished.
00:53:59And that, for me, is just everything.
00:54:01Both of them have an eye on fashion.
00:54:03And it showed in this challenge.
00:54:05Very good night for them.
00:54:06All right, let's move on down to Copper Top and Cheddar.
00:54:10I love Copper Top.
00:54:11But it just all seemed really costume-y and not in a good way.
00:54:15The thing about Copper Top, because you're standing next to Cheddar Gorgeous.
00:54:17It's a bit like when you buy something off the internet and it finally arrived.
00:54:21You know, like, I'm going to get myself a gold cape.
00:54:24Do you know how I look great?
00:54:25And then it comes, you're like, oh, this isn't what I ordered.
00:54:29I like the one-shoulder kind of cape.
00:54:31I thought it was the only thing on the outfit that married it to Cheddar.
00:54:34And Cheddar, in this case, dominated.
00:54:36And it makes me sad because I really do enjoy Copper Top.
00:54:39Copper, I saw the direction she was trying to go in.
00:54:42But, you know, body suits, if you're going to do it, you've got to do it right, right?
00:54:45Right.
00:54:45And that was done wrong.
00:54:47So...
00:54:47Cheddar did it right.
00:54:49Unfortunately, not the same for her partner.
00:54:52Copper Top was a copper flop.
00:54:55Silence.
00:54:56I made my decision.
00:54:57Bring back my girls.
00:55:00Welcome back, ladies.
00:55:02I've made some decisions.
00:55:09Dakota Schiffer and Baby.
00:55:12Thanks to you, once again, black is the new black.
00:55:18Congratulations.
00:55:20You are the winners of this week's Maxi Joe.
00:55:23Thank you so much.
00:55:26And you've each earned a coveted Rue Peter badge.
00:55:30Yay!
00:55:35We're out with pride.
00:55:38I am on top of the world right now.
00:55:40I'm feeling like I've redeemed myself.
00:55:42And I have two badges.
00:55:43I mean, that's crazy.
00:55:45You may join the other girls.
00:55:47Thank you so much.
00:55:48Good luck.
00:55:49Good luck.
00:55:52Good luck.
00:55:57Sminty, Drop, and Le Fill.
00:55:59You.
00:56:00You.
00:56:01Are.
00:56:01Safe.
00:56:03Thank you so much.
00:56:04Well done.
00:56:05You may join the other girls.
00:56:16Black Pepper and John Burr's Blonde.
00:56:19Copper Top and Cheddar Gorgeous.
00:56:22This week, your pairings were not a match made in heaven.
00:56:31So, I'm breaking you up.
00:56:40Copper Top, Black Pepper, I'm sorry my dears, but you are up for elimination.
00:56:56Cheddar and John Burr's, you are safe.
00:56:59Ladies, you may join the other girls.
00:57:03Can't be.
00:57:03Tell a girl.
00:57:04Call the girl.
00:57:14Copper, I love you girl, but I am not going anywhere.
00:57:17And I'm about to show the judges why Black Pepper is called Black Pepper.
00:57:22Two queens stand before me.
00:57:28I've consulted with the judges, but the final decision is mine to make.
00:57:33Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
00:57:42The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:57:55I need to bring it.
00:57:57I cannot go home.
00:57:58I am going to show them that I'm here to fight and I deserve to stay.
00:58:03Good luck.
00:58:04Fuck.
00:58:05And don't fuck it up.
00:58:12Fuck it up.
00:58:15Fuck.
00:58:16What, what, what, what, what more?
00:58:18Oh, you got vertigo falling down.
00:58:22Oh, you're going to my ass.
00:58:26Can I recognise the sound of my own heart calling?
00:58:31And I found some way
00:58:33I found some world
00:58:35And I found some way
00:58:37Somewhere that I belong
00:58:39Belonged, belong
00:58:41This is real
00:58:45And you've been right here on the line
00:58:48And I've been holding on
00:58:50And you've been somebody
00:58:52Who can get me up, get me up
00:58:55And I've been holding on, holding on
00:58:58And you've been somebody
00:59:00Who can get me up, get me up
00:59:02And I'm about to give you up, oh yeah
00:59:05Oh, the energy's running high
00:59:09Resisting my own defense
00:59:13This vision is our desire
00:59:16Oh, the energy's running
00:59:19I found some way
00:59:20I found some way
00:59:23I found some way
00:59:24Somewhere that I belong
00:59:26Belonged, belong
00:59:28Oh, this is real
00:59:32And I can never get it now
00:59:36And I've been holding on
00:59:38And you've been somebody
00:59:40Who can get me up, get me up
00:59:42And I'm about to give you up

00:59:44Whp, whp, whp, whp, whp, whp, whp, whp, whp, whp, whp, whp !
00:59:59Yeah, yeah!"
01:00:07That's what I came here for.
01:00:14Wow. Ladies, I've made my decision.
01:00:26Black Pepper, Shantae, you stay.
01:00:33You may join the other girls.
01:00:35Thank you so much.
01:00:39I'm going to win.
01:00:45Copper Top, you are pure gold.
01:00:50Now, sashay away.
01:00:53From season one in the US, I've been obsessed, and it has saved my life.
01:00:57And to be on this season is truly a blessing, and I can't thank you enough.
01:01:07Well, I guess a top can bottom.
01:01:10It's him.
01:01:16This has been amazing.
01:01:17It has taken me so long to find myself and find my queerness.
01:01:24And now I'm queer as fuck, and I'm so, so proud.
01:01:28This is amazing and beautiful, and I'm so, so grateful.
01:01:40Congratulations, ladies.
01:01:41And remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
01:01:45Can I get an amen up in here?
01:01:46Amen.
01:01:47All right.
01:01:48Now let the music play.
