00:00:00MTV.
00:00:02Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:00:05For your first maxi challenge, you'll pay tribute
00:00:07to all the scrappy queens that came before you
00:00:10by using their leftover treasures
00:00:13to create your own signature drag look.
00:00:17Nini Coco.
00:00:18Literally, I will wear this outfit outside.
00:00:21Vita Vonti Star.
00:00:22The way you have that one umbrella piece
00:00:25is so pleasing to the eye.
00:00:28Kenya Pleaser.
00:00:29It just looks sloppy, it looks lopsided.
00:00:32Mandy Mango.
00:00:33It's just a little too messy.
00:00:36Oh my god, I hate it.
00:00:38Kenya Pleaser, Mandy Mango.
00:00:41You are the bottom queens of the week.
00:00:44But no one is going home tonight.
00:00:50Nini Coco.
00:00:52Vita Vonti Star.
00:00:54You are the top two queens of the week.
00:00:56Nini Coco.
00:00:58Conjagulations.
00:00:59You're a winner, baby.
00:01:00Yes!
00:01:00Woo!
00:01:06Woo!
00:01:08Woo!
00:01:08Woo!
00:01:09Woo!
00:01:09Woo!
00:01:09Woo!
00:01:10Woo!
00:01:10Woo!
00:01:10We just survived the first challenge of season 18,
00:01:14and nobody went home.
00:01:19Yay!
00:01:22Congratulations, ladies!
00:01:26How did that feel, the first lip sync of the season?
00:01:29Girl, the adrenaline is so high.
00:01:31It kicks in and it's so surreal.
00:01:33And you won, girl.
00:01:34Congratulations!
00:01:35Congratulations!
00:01:36How does it feel to win after most of the girls counted you out?
00:01:40Ooh!
00:01:42It is water off a duck's back, baby queen.
00:01:46These girls are letting me know that they don't think I necessarily should have won.
00:01:50But I'm not trying to impress the other girls.
00:01:53My goal is to impress the judges and take the crown.
00:01:56Jane, you were kind of pressed.
00:01:57Ms. Jane, girl.
00:01:58I mean, it is what it is, girl.
00:02:01But what should it have been?
00:02:03Oh.
00:02:03I mean, at the end of the day, this country is still going to see your exposed bra straps.
00:02:09I think my look was stronger than Nini's.
00:02:11I look at Nini's dress and I go, that's a pine cone.
00:02:15Mandy in Kenya, did you think you were going to have to lip sync tonight?
00:02:19Girl, I was ready, bitch.
00:02:20I was like, let's twirl.
00:02:22Oh, my God.
00:02:23Thank you, Jesus.
00:02:24I escaped the bottom two by the hair of Didi Fuego's chinny chin chin.
00:02:30That was a predicament I did not want to be in ever again in this competition
00:02:34because I planned on staying around.
00:02:36I mean, we're only going to go up from here.
00:02:38Better watch out, because once we start getting into the performance challenges of it all,
00:02:42that's my really strongest suit.
00:02:43I cannot wait to see how this turns out.
00:02:47Let's get out of practice!
00:02:52How are you feeling after all that?
00:02:54I feel fine.
00:02:55It's no tease, no shade, and I get that we're all gunning for the same crown.
00:02:59And it's right out of the gate, so insecurities are on display.
00:03:02Everybody's going to speak on it, whether or not it was solicited.
00:03:06Sure.
00:03:07And I'm like, speak away.
00:03:09We all survived the first week, but honey, somebody's got to go home.
00:03:13You want some of that, baby?
00:03:14Oh, my God!
00:03:15Is that what you want, baby?
00:03:17The herd has to start thinning out.
00:03:19Is survival the fittest, honey?
00:03:22If you ain't fit, pack your shit.
00:03:31The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics,
00:03:38and a cash prize of $200,000, courtesy of RuPaul's Drag Race Match Queen.
00:03:45With extra special guest judge, Dove Cameron.
00:03:48RuPaul's Drag Race, say the best drag queen win!
00:03:51The best drag queen win!
00:03:57Good morning, everybody!
00:04:00Woo-wee!
00:04:01It's a new week in the workroom.
00:04:03Someone is still going to have to be the first one to go.
00:04:07Although I am loving these girls, it's time to get them on out.
00:04:12And, bitch, that won't include me, okay?
00:04:15I think we have such a strong collection of queens.
00:04:19I think it's so fabulous seeing so many different points of view in drag.
00:04:22And it's a much more mature season two.
00:04:25Now, hold on.
00:04:26Yeah, why did you say that it's a bad thing?
00:04:27Girl, it's giving geriatric, but...
00:04:29We're waking up popping Boniva and Advil, honey.
00:04:31She don't know.
00:04:37She's all ready to have her.
00:04:40Let's go, mother!
00:04:43Roo rule number 72.
00:04:45Everyone has a voice, but not everyone deserves a microphone.
00:04:51T-shirts.
00:04:56Hello, hello, hello!
00:04:58Oh, hi!
00:05:00Yes, ma'am!
00:05:01That's good!
00:05:03Good morning, Ladykins!
00:05:04Good morning!
00:05:05Now, this season is just getting started, and I am ready to plop off.
00:05:10Ooh!
00:05:11Okay.
00:05:12Now, for this week's Maxi Challenge, you'll be performing in three Q-pop girl groups.
00:05:17Oh, my God!
00:05:20The Q is for quintessentially queer and queenie.
00:05:25The first Q-pop track is Funk Almighty, a disco fantasy inspired by the legendary superstar, Sylvester.
00:05:35Yeah!
00:05:36Yeah!
00:05:37The next track is Go, Go, Go, a high-energy bop inspired by the iconic 80s band, Wham.
00:05:46Hey!
00:05:46Yeah!
00:05:46Oh!
00:05:47And the third track is Cherries, a total banger inspired by the all-female rock band, The Runaways.
00:05:56Yeah!
00:05:58All right, now, NeNe and Vida, as last week's top two, you each get to pick your groups.
00:06:04Ooh!
00:06:05Very good.
00:06:06And the queens that you don't pick will form a third group.
00:06:09Assume the position.
00:06:11Ooh!
00:06:11All right, NeNe, you get to choose first.
00:06:16I'm going for the win, and so if it's gonna hurt some feelings, it's gonna hurt some feelings.
00:06:21Mia Star!
00:06:24Mia Star, the choreographer extraordinaire.
00:06:27Bitch, you're on my team.
00:06:28All right, Vida, your turn.
00:06:30Uh, Briar.
00:06:34Ooh!
00:06:36My first choice was Briar because I know she's a show director, so I know she'll be good with facilitating
00:06:41and getting the girls together.
00:06:42All right, NeNe.
00:06:44Misty.
00:06:44Ooh, drink it up, bitch.
00:06:47Be your darling.
00:06:48Let's make it wet and juicy.
00:06:52Hey!
00:06:53Little old me.
00:06:55I'm feeling a little Mikey Meeks.
00:06:57Ooh!
00:06:58I do.
00:07:01Still waiting to be picked any minute.
00:07:04Discord!
00:07:05Yeah!
00:07:07All right, NeNe, this is your final pick.
00:07:14Athena is giving both me and Vida eyes that if you don't pick me, I'm gonna be pissed.
00:07:18The problem is Athena is grand dame diva down.
00:07:22She doesn't seem like a team player.
00:07:24Let's take a trip to Kenya.
00:07:25Come on, baby!
00:07:26Oh, my God, honey, you please me after all, honey.
00:07:31All right, Vida, this is your last pick.
00:07:36Miss Jane.
00:07:37Yay!
00:07:39Thank fucking God.
00:07:44Well, shit.
00:07:46Athena is plucked like a fresh feather off a chicken's ass.
00:07:50And that means Didi Fuego, Darlene Mitchell, Mandy Mango, and Athena Dion.
00:07:56You will be the third group.
00:07:58Athena.
00:08:00I'm so excited.
00:08:01Now you all need to write and record your own verses.
00:08:05Then each group will be in charge of the look and their own choreography.
00:08:10Now I'm gonna leave you with the three Q-pop tracks and let y'all decide which group gets which
00:08:17song.
00:08:19Oh, and one more thing.
00:08:21This week there will be a lip sync for your life and one of you will be eliminated.
00:08:29Now I have to slay these bitches and show them what they missed out on by not putting me on
00:08:34their team.
00:08:35Racers, start your engine and may the best drag queen win.
00:08:41Oh my goodness.
00:08:43Let's get into it, world.
00:08:45And go.
00:08:48There's Go Go Go, the 80s bop.
00:08:50And then we have Cherries, the punk rock banger.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54And there's Funk Almighty, the disco track.
00:08:58Cute.
00:09:00Look, you got choreo already, Athena.
00:09:02Just like you used to do in the depression, girl.
00:09:05I want disco.
00:09:07I love to whack and I love to like bring out that funk.
00:09:10So I'm like, this is my moment to shine.
00:09:13Okay, ladies. So now that we've heard everything, let's talk about what we like.
00:09:16Yeah.
00:09:16Well, let's go first.
00:09:18Absolutely, let's go first.
00:09:19I think that since the two of you guys have done a lot of choosing already,
00:09:22and I think we haven't had our voices heard yet, so I think we should be able to choose first.
00:09:26Oh, your voice has been heard.
00:09:27Yes, your voice has been heard, sister.
00:09:29You pick the teams, we pick the song.
00:09:31So what are you guys leaning towards?
00:09:33The disco.
00:09:34The disco.
00:09:34What about the other group?
00:09:36We would like to play with disco.
00:09:40Clearly, we're the disco team.
00:09:44Everyone wants disco.
00:09:46It's the obvious trope.
00:09:47RuPaul loves disco.
00:09:49We all have a disco costume in our suitcases.
00:09:52Discord, do you also want to do disco like your teammates?
00:09:55Obviously, I want the punk song.
00:09:57Yeah, you're meant for it.
00:09:58I write lyrics for punk bands, so I know I can help everybody guide us vocally through punk songs.
00:10:04Discord, shut up.
00:10:06But whatever they choose, I will be happy with.
00:10:09Okay, so we are disco.
00:10:12No, that's not decided.
00:10:15How do you feel about disco?
00:10:16As these two groups are going at it, I look to Mia, I look to Nini and all of them,
00:10:20I'm like, let's pick the pop pop.
00:10:22So that's awesome.
00:10:23We're going to go ahead and take the pop one.
00:10:24No, you're not going to go ahead and take anything.
00:10:26No, you will not take anything until we decide who's taking disco.
00:10:29Because if they take the pop song, and they take disco, then we end up with punk, I know.
00:10:34You do not want to see D.D. Foggo do punk.
00:10:37I'm not going to be like, eh, like for what?
00:10:39You don't want to see that.
00:10:40Okay, well that means we're going to be here all day because we're not taking punk.
00:10:44Why can we not choose our song?
00:10:46Because you're the leftovers, dog.
00:10:48We're not the fucking leftovers.
00:10:49You're the leftovers.
00:10:51So now you're crossing into territory.
00:10:52We're going to do disco because of that.
00:10:54No, we're going to be disco.
00:10:54That's true.
00:10:55So why are you going to get disco?
00:10:56Because we should have something here.
00:10:58Vita.
00:10:59Vita is not backing down.
00:11:01Athena is not backing down.
00:11:02So I just take Vita's hands and I say, sister, we have a winning team.
00:11:07So just let them have disco.
00:11:08Let's just take the punk one.
00:11:10Let's give them disco.
00:11:11We'll turn the punk one out.
00:11:12I can turn it out first.
00:11:13Actually, you can have disco because it seems like you need it more.
00:11:17Disco was my era.
00:11:18So I'm just going back to my childhood right now.
00:11:21Totally.
00:11:21At the end of the day, I'm actually really happy that I got punk.
00:11:25It's all part of my plan.
00:11:26So NeNe's team is doing Wham.
00:11:29Y'all will do disco.
00:11:30And we will do the punk song.
00:11:34Thank you for fighting.
00:11:35Go team, go.
00:11:35I love the disco track.
00:11:38It just screams queer joy.
00:11:40It screams empowerment.
00:11:41Let's go, girls.
00:11:42And I think the way I'm feeling in this competition, I need to find my inner strength and really put
00:11:48it all into this challenge.
00:11:49Hey, girlies.
00:11:51All right, guys, I know that everyone except for me really wanted disco.
00:11:55No, see, here's the thing.
00:11:57You have to be very strategic going into these things.
00:12:00What people don't know about me is that I actually have a background and, like, punk-ish.
00:12:04So I'm very drawn to this.
00:12:06Honestly, with picking the songs, I really, really wanted punk.
00:12:10However, I knew Athena wasn't going to let me really get what I wanted.
00:12:15So they wouldn't expect us to do good.
00:12:19So I think we're going to kill this.
00:12:22I hear the punk group.
00:12:24And Vida is playing chess with these girls.
00:12:27She wanted punk this entire time.
00:12:29I think she just wanted to piss Athena off.
00:12:31Should we get ready?
00:12:32Yes.
00:12:34Originally, I wanted the disco track.
00:12:37However, we've ended up with the punk song.
00:12:39And I am familiar with this world.
00:12:41I used to manage punk bands.
00:12:42I was an intern on a record label.
00:12:44So I have been this woman in a past life.
00:12:47What do you got?
00:12:48Well, I have, I think, mine are mostly done.
00:12:51I'm able to write my verse pretty quickly.
00:12:53And then I set about to helping my group.
00:12:57You want my berry?
00:12:58Well, get in line.
00:13:00Because I run through.
00:13:00I need to fix the tempo.
00:13:02Juicy has some ideas.
00:13:03But I don't think she quite knows how to put them in the structure of a song.
00:13:07Maybe save this, right?
00:13:09Mm-hmm.
00:13:09Save that little block.
00:13:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:11So I run through, guys, like a nine to five.
00:13:15Clocking in for work.
00:13:16Yes, it's party time.
00:13:18Or something.
00:13:18Because you're the party princess.
00:13:20There you go.
00:13:21And it's nine to five.
00:13:22Yeah.
00:13:23I love it.
00:13:23Do you want to help me make my lyrics more fun?
00:13:26Sure.
00:13:28Discord is asking me for help, which is crazy because, bitch, aren't you the one of the punk band?
00:13:34I ain't no chicken, but I got that car.
00:13:38Riot in the room.
00:13:39What?
00:13:40Riot in the room, got your heart like a rock.
00:13:43Oh, my God.
00:13:45I mean, Maya Angelou wishes.
00:13:50The 80s is totally my vibe.
00:13:53Let's serve some fun and camp and just, like, give it to them.
00:13:56I am no stranger to Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, an 80s anthem about queer empowerment, fun with
00:14:02friends, and I am excited for us to go, go, go.
00:14:05We need to be vibrant and proud queer people that we are.
00:14:08Yes.
00:14:09God.
00:14:10You need a lemon, girl.
00:14:11Girl, are you going to be able to sing?
00:14:12Give me a lozenge.
00:14:13Even from last week, my voice is still from the stream.
00:14:16Oh, I didn't think about that.
00:14:18I do have experience singing, but after last week's screaming challenge, my voice has been coming in and out.
00:14:30So I'm kind of freaking out.
00:14:31So I've got to figure out what my voice can do and where it can plug in.
00:14:35Oh, man.
00:14:37It's just my fucking voice.
00:14:38You're good.
00:14:39Okay.
00:14:40You've got this.
00:14:43Fuck.
00:14:44I'm not saying it was karma.
00:14:47It's just a little bit ironic.
00:14:49Don't you think that you didn't pick the goddess Athena and then you have no voice?
00:14:56I'm very used to being the underdog, and I feel that for us.
00:14:58Yes, let them underestimate us.
00:15:00Yeah, we're going to prove some people wrong.
00:15:02The group right now is feeling tense.
00:15:04Everybody is in their head because no one picked us.
00:15:07So we're letting that sort of bond us together.
00:15:10Disco is an uplifting genre of music.
00:15:12It's about positivity.
00:15:14It's about happiness.
00:15:14And I think all of us are those kind of people.
00:15:17Yes.
00:15:18We're all happy people.
00:15:19Now we're kind of having to smile through like, well, girls, let's just get along.
00:15:23Oh, I love you girls.
00:15:24And we're going to get through this.
00:15:25Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork.
00:15:26I don't think any of us believe that.
00:15:29Can we talk about how literally, like, vengeful Athena's being right now?
00:15:35I don't think she wants to be in that group at all.
00:15:37She is literally wrapped in a black crowd.
00:15:42How you feeling over there?
00:15:44Great.
00:15:44Fantastic.
00:15:45Yes.
00:15:47Athena, how are you feeling?
00:15:49Great.
00:15:50Until you popped up here.
00:15:51I'm looking at Athena and it doesn't seem like she's even listening to her group.
00:15:54But it's like maybe Athena being a massive cunt is helping us be a better, stronger group.
00:16:04All right, ladies.
00:16:06Okay, bitch.
00:16:07Wow.
00:16:08It is time to come up with our Q Pop Girl group choreography.
00:16:11But Miss Mia Mia Mia is a choreographer professionally.
00:16:16So one and two, three and four.
00:16:19Yeah?
00:16:19So starting with that right leg.
00:16:21Listen, I got a playbook for our team.
00:16:24This is what I call preparation, honey.
00:16:26Okay?
00:16:27Get into that.
00:16:28And then you're going to turn and then go down that left leg.
00:16:32Cool?
00:16:33Very kind.
00:16:33Everybody is doing so good at the dancing.
00:16:38Miss Sierra gets down, honey.
00:16:39She is like, okay, bitch.
00:16:41We got Miss Mikey killing it.
00:16:43We have Miss Nene.
00:16:44I'm like, okay.
00:16:45I feel really good about our group right now.
00:16:48Glam!
00:16:49Do you want to do spacing?
00:16:51Or should we start with choreography right, right now?
00:16:55Let's start with choreography.
00:16:56We can get spacing later.
00:16:57I clear that, you know, you're probably lead.
00:17:00Obviously, we defer to Miss Juicy Love Dion.
00:17:02Miss Thing can dance like nobody else.
00:17:05Let's do right, left, and then you roll to the right.
00:17:09There you go.
00:17:10Hey.
00:17:11Ho.
00:17:12Let's go.
00:17:15Last week, I was in the bottom.
00:17:17So I'm really banking on this performance challenge.
00:17:20But not everyone in the group is as fluid as I would like them to be.
00:17:23We do have a couple stragglers on timing.
00:17:26And I see some eyes wandering.
00:17:28Five, six.
00:17:30And I want the two lines to cross.
00:17:33Mm-hmm.
00:17:35Where am I going?
00:17:36It's not that dancing is not Discord's strong suit.
00:17:40It's that all movement is not Discord's strong suit.
00:17:45Take our positions, and we line up here.
00:17:47And then we hit our...
00:17:49Mighty, mighty, funk almighty.
00:17:52I'm not a choreographer.
00:17:54But I'm going to have to dig through the Rolodex of past group numbers that I've done.
00:17:59Because I think right now, I'm the only hope that we've got.
00:18:02We're thinking, like, disco era.
00:18:03There was a lot of, like, the fist pumping.
00:18:05A lot of, like, hip work.
00:18:06This is giving New Jersey diva.
00:18:08No, but, like, mighty, mighty, funk almighty.
00:18:11Athena's very assertive.
00:18:13I think we should move on to the next chunk.
00:18:14Yeah, but let's not rush perfection, honey.
00:18:17And I can tell that kind of rubs Didi a certain way a little bit,
00:18:21because Didi also has a number of ideas.
00:18:23So start here, let's say.
00:18:25Can we be close?
00:18:26Because we're going to end up separate.
00:18:27Fine, girl.
00:18:28We have to take up the space.
00:18:29It's giving elementary school pageants.
00:18:31I want it to be great.
00:18:34And with the step touches we've rehearsed so far,
00:18:37I have some doubts.
00:18:39So let's try that.
00:18:40So let's try that.
00:18:41Mighty, mighty, funk, up, up, down.
00:18:44Mighty, mighty, funk almighty.
00:18:47Wait, are you going?
00:18:48Are we going that way or that way?
00:18:50I start with a very basic move.
00:18:54Funk almighty.
00:18:55Oh, God.
00:18:57Darlene, short circuits.
00:18:59Fuck almighty.
00:19:01Nope, my body said no.
00:19:02I'm feeling a little bit like, as my mom would say,
00:19:06a fart in a whirlwind.
00:19:08I like it.
00:19:09One, two, three, four.
00:19:12I really do not want to let these girls down.
00:19:16But I'm a little nervous.
00:19:21Hello.
00:19:22Here come cherries.
00:19:24So now it's time to record our song with Michelle Visage.
00:19:29Say hi to our brilliant composer producer, David Steinberg.
00:19:33Hello.
00:19:34Hello.
00:19:35So first up, we've got Vita.
00:19:36Hello.
00:19:37Vita Von T star.
00:19:38Here we go.
00:19:39I am the baddest bitch of them all.
00:19:42When they want someone fierce, I'm the one that they call.
00:19:56Yes, Vita.
00:20:02More of that, please.
00:20:03Fuck the prim and proper, baby.
00:20:05This is punk.
00:20:06So reach down and let them know you are the baddest bitch in this room.
00:20:11Got me on my knees, but I ain't praying.
00:20:15Just went to the clinic, tested positive for slaying.
00:20:19Fun and funny.
00:20:20I don't have any notes because I think you did it great.
00:20:23Of course, Miss One Take Wonder Jane over there.
00:20:26She's crushing it.
00:20:27Fuck you, Jane.
00:20:28Don't.
00:20:29Hello.
00:20:30Hello, hello, hello.
00:20:31Funk almighty.
00:20:33Did the fuego.
00:20:35Si, senorita.
00:20:36Let's do it.
00:20:36Take one.
00:20:38I feel the fuego.
00:20:40It burns, but this friendly fire feeling builds you up every turn.
00:20:45You gotta feel the fantasy.
00:20:47Tell me how you're feeling, girl.
00:20:48Okay, I love everything that you've done except there's no real pitch.
00:20:52I just feel like there's so much pitch damage in there that...
00:20:55No disrespect.
00:20:57No, I know.
00:20:58That it would take so long to get that on pitch.
00:21:02Athena fell asleep.
00:21:03Did you see that?
00:21:05Athena is out.
00:21:06Like, just clocked out.
00:21:10Well, Darlene, are you a singer?
00:21:12I definitely am not a singer and not a falsetto, but we're gonna throw that Sylvester note in there.
00:21:17Oh, my goodness.
00:21:18We'll see.
00:21:19We'll see.
00:21:19Go for it.
00:21:20Here we go.
00:21:21Love yourself all through your body.
00:21:24Let it flow naturally.
00:21:37You went for it, girl.
00:21:39Yes, she did.
00:21:40She definitely went for it.
00:21:41However, the notes leading up to that, we're gonna have to find a pitch.
00:21:45Okay.
00:21:46Pick a note.
00:21:46Any note.
00:21:47Love yourself all through your body.
00:21:50Let it flow naturally.
00:21:56Oh, Lord.
00:22:00I'm not that worried about me.
00:22:04Hello, Michelle.
00:22:05Hi, guys.
00:22:06Hello, team.
00:22:06Go, go, go.
00:22:07Go, go, go.
00:22:09Can you please her?
00:22:10I hope I please you right now.
00:22:11Me too.
00:22:12Yes.
00:22:13Honey, I was leading the worship group at the church, so I can carry a tune.
00:22:17If you cannot sing in a black church, they will let you know.
00:22:19Hey, boys, got something to tell ya.
00:22:22I'm a pleaser and I'll go down on ya.
00:22:25Timing.
00:22:26Hey, boys, I got something to tell ya.
00:22:29I'm a pleaser and I'll go down on ya.
00:22:32I'm a pleaser and I'll go down on ya.
00:22:35I'm a pleaser and I'll go down on ya.
00:22:37I'm a pleaser and I'll go down on ya.
00:22:40And you'll never have to cry.
00:22:44Why'd you gotta get fancy?
00:22:46Why'd you gotta get fancy?
00:22:47I'm sorry.
00:22:47You had it.
00:22:48Girl, I'm so extra.
00:22:51Hello, Nene Coco.
00:22:52Hello, hello.
00:22:53Oh, jeez.
00:22:56Okay.
00:22:57I lost my voice in the screaming challenge.
00:22:59No.
00:23:00So I'm having some trouble.
00:23:01Are we speaking then?
00:23:03Yes, I'm going to just go for it.
00:23:04So let's see what we can come up with.
00:23:05All right.
00:23:09Say love and get the lights on.
00:23:13You better.
00:23:15Don't worry.
00:23:16Don't worry.
00:23:17Okay.
00:23:17You're going to be fine.
00:23:18We're going to get what we need to get.
00:23:20Okay.
00:23:20Okay?
00:23:21Say love and get the lights on.
00:23:24Technicolor queen, you better shine on.
00:23:29Stop getting into your head.
00:23:32As long as you got some squeak coming out,
00:23:34then we can use that.
00:23:36Yep.
00:23:36I know that Nene is a perfectionist at heart,
00:23:39and this is sending her into a spiral.
00:23:41Do-do.
00:23:49This show must go on.
00:23:51Do you want to take a break, get hot water,
00:23:53and then start again?
00:23:56Yeah.
00:23:58All right.
00:23:58So switch out.
00:24:00My pleasure.
00:24:01I feel like I'm letting my team down.
00:24:03I feel like I'm letting Michelle down.
00:24:04Fuck.
00:24:06Is this the thing that is going to knock me out of this competition?
00:24:09Can we go on with Mikey?
00:24:11It cannot be worse timing.
00:24:13We're all on the team.
00:24:14If someone's voice is going to be,
00:24:16can't sing,
00:24:16how is it going to sound?
00:24:18Child, it's no shade.
00:24:19I'm freaking the fuck out.
00:24:21Okay, here we go.
00:24:25Let's go!
00:24:28It is a brand new day in the workroom,
00:24:30and we're getting ready for our Q-pop girl group performance.
00:24:34Child, it is the first of the many show of the season.
00:24:36After last week, it ain't going to be me.
00:24:39It ain't going to be me.
00:24:41NeNe, how's your voice?
00:24:42I'm not 100%, but I'm like 85, and I'm feeling good.
00:24:46I drank a lot of tea.
00:24:47I was on vocal rest.
00:24:48So I'm feeling much better.
00:24:49I just hope that if I can deliver on the performance side,
00:24:53maybe they'll give a little grace to my recording session.
00:24:56I hope.
00:24:58I feel galvanized.
00:25:00I feel all's up.
00:25:02I'm so excited for you this week,
00:25:03because from last week to this week,
00:25:05it's a 180, honey.
00:25:07I'm ready to shake my motherfucking titties.
00:25:08Yay!
00:25:09In front of RuPaul, honey, and...
00:25:11Ha ha ha!
00:25:14Ha ha ha ha!
00:25:14Ha ha ha ha!
00:25:15Ha ha ha ha!
00:25:17Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:25:17Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:25:17Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:25:17Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:25:19So, Didi, I know in your entrance,
00:25:21you said you grew up in Mexico.
00:25:22What was Monterrey like?
00:25:24Monterrey is a very closed, tight-knit community.
00:25:29Some people call it, like, the Beverly Hills of Mexico.
00:25:31People cared a lot about what you look like,
00:25:33what do you do for a living.
00:25:35So, like, the men are expected to become businessmen,
00:25:37and the women are expected to become housewives.
00:25:39I don't know if it was because I was a delusional child
00:25:42or because I had a very supportive family,
00:25:43but I felt like I could be myself from the day I arrived.
00:25:48You were fuego from the get.
00:25:50Yeah, yeah.
00:25:50How do they say gay in Mexico?
00:25:53Gay.
00:25:54Hey, gay.
00:26:08Ha ha ha ha!
00:26:09So, outside of this competition,
00:26:11I play guitar in a punk band called Dame Judi
00:26:13with my best friend, and it is just so much fun.
00:26:17We are able to bring drag back to its roots of being punk rock.
00:26:21I just want my music to say something to people,
00:26:24like, hey, like, we don't have to put up with the bullshit
00:26:26that is whatever current administration we're...
00:26:29Push back.
00:26:29Yeah, like, like, listen, queers,
00:26:31like, we are, we're in trouble right now.
00:26:33Yeah.
00:26:33I think drag has gotten a little Disney-fied,
00:26:36and there is a lot of drag that doesn't say anything at all.
00:26:41If I can preach to the world,
00:26:42like, even just through music,
00:26:43and it, like, like, wakes people up a little bit,
00:26:46like, I would feel really, really good about that.
00:26:48I love that.
00:26:49To me, that's what punk rock is all about.
00:26:52It's calling out the injustices in the world,
00:26:54and it's making people think about what is going on around them
00:26:57instead of just trying to escape it.
00:27:02Girl, how are we feeling, bitches?
00:27:05Feeling funky, feeling free.
00:27:08Girl, I know that's not true.
00:27:09Athena, tell us how you really feel, bitch.
00:27:11Now's your chance.
00:27:12How did you feel about not being picked?
00:27:13I felt plucked, gagged, and flabbergasted.
00:27:16You're all a bunch of liars.
00:27:17Oh.
00:27:17There were only two people that chose teams, girl.
00:27:19Right, I'm like, Nene and Vita,
00:27:20why didn't you choose Athena?
00:27:21Because it's the Athena show
00:27:23any time she walks in the room.
00:27:25This is a team challenge,
00:27:26and I feel like everyone that I picked is a team player.
00:27:30Oh, so you're saying I'm not a team player.
00:27:31Ooh!
00:27:33I think that my team will agree
00:27:34that I'm quite the team player.
00:27:36That is true.
00:27:37Athena is a good person and a good team player.
00:27:40How much were you paid to say that?
00:27:41Not a good person.
00:27:42She booked me a trip to Mykonos.
00:27:46Because we are the Leftovers team,
00:27:48the other girls underestimate what we can do,
00:27:50but our individuality and our joy
00:27:52is going to take us to the top.
00:27:54Oh, my God.
00:27:54We're going to have our first mirror message.
00:27:56Oh, my gosh.
00:27:57What are you going to say?
00:27:59We're on the same team, you bitch.
00:28:02For now.
00:28:02Oh.
00:28:04Oh.
00:28:20Come on, girl.
00:28:22Put the bass in your walk.

00:33:37Love yourself each and every part
00:33:39You're a masterpiece, a work of heart
00:33:42Be strong, be proud, be true to you
00:34:14Be the boss, be the hero, be the bad bitch too
00:34:15Grab some cocoa, pull a lug from head to toe-toe
00:34:19It's me, you, and that hoe too
00:34:22Get on the floor and dance how you do too
00:34:27Wham, bam, bam, let's do it again
00:34:29I want some more now, so let's go go go
00:34:35Wham, bam, glam, got my sisters and we're looking right
00:34:39Let's go girls, it's the friends in my life that helped Mikey shine so bright
00:34:45Yes they do
00:34:46Yes they do
00:34:47Now do I want a man to come and hold me sometime?
00:34:50But if you know what's inside, trust your gut and you'll find
00:34:53The queerness guiding light
00:34:55It's the joy that makes us so fine
00:34:59Wham, bam, I am what I am, you wanna show now?
00:35:03So let's go go go, let's go go go, let's go go go
00:35:14I was completely lost yesterday but my team rallied behind me and I'm like shit
00:35:22We did the damn thing
00:35:23Up next it's the tuckedaways performing Cherries
00:35:29Hey, ho, let's go
00:35:32I eat chubbies, can't get enough

00:36:12Give me some, give me some, let's go
00:36:15I am the baddest, bitch of them all

00:36:22My drag's top tier, no time to bottom
00:36:25I come prepared, I'm here to stomp
00:36:28Vita, Vita, Vita, you know you wanna eat her
00:36:32I eat cherries, can't get enough
00:36:35I eat cherries, make me feel tough
00:36:38I eat cherries, sweet as pie
00:36:42And I'll eat cherries till the day I die
00:36:45Pop it like a cherry, I bust in your dairy
00:36:49Feel our power sitting strong like a tower
00:36:52I ain't no chicken, but I got that picard
00:36:56Briar in the room, got you hard like a rock
00:36:59With the powers of blush, and I ain't in a rush
00:37:02So when I'm in doubt, I just weird them out
00:37:05Yeah, when I'm in doubt, I just weird them out
00:37:09Give me some, give me some, let's go
00:37:12They call me Jane, don't get it twisted
00:37:15I can't bend like that
00:37:19Make me your bitch, but I'm a sister
00:37:22But we can still kiss if you want
00:37:25Got me on my knees, but I ain't prayin'
00:37:29Forgive me, father
00:37:30No, I ain't prayin'
00:37:32Just went to the clinic, tested positive for slayin'
00:37:35It burns
00:37:36Tested positive for slayin'
00:37:39I love to lick them, taste them open wide
00:37:42I won't stop till I'm satisfied
00:37:45I eat cherries, can't get enough
00:37:48I eat cherries, make me feel tough
00:37:52I eat cherries, sweet as pie
00:37:55And I'll eat cherries till the day I die
00:37:58Give me some, give me some, let's go
00:38:02Sweet like cherries, fierce like a storm
00:38:05Juicy left beyond, I was born to perform
00:38:08You want my juice?
00:38:10Spoke get in line
00:38:11Cause I run through guys like a nine to five
00:38:15You know Juicy's moves got you losing your mind
00:38:21I like them juicy, hot in a cobbler
00:38:25I'm one wild cherry gobbler
00:38:28I eat cherries, can't get enough
00:38:31I eat cherries, make me feel tough
00:38:34I eat cherries, sweet as pie
00:38:38And I'll eat cherries till the day I die
00:38:41And I'll eat cherries till the day I die
00:38:45I
00:38:46I
00:38:47I
00:38:49I
00:38:49I
00:38:54I
00:38:58Initially I was not going for the punk
00:39:00Now I'm thinking, thank fucking god we got this punk song
00:39:07We kind of earned it
00:39:14Category is your neck, your back, your pussy, and your crack
00:39:20Ooh
00:39:20A look that shows off your favorite body part
00:39:23Up first, Athena Dion, her back
00:39:28This is a very Athena Dion look that only the richest woman in the world would wear
00:39:32Ooh
00:39:34No back rolls here honey, the bakery is closed
00:39:37Guess who's back in the house
00:39:41The incomparable Darlene Mitchell
00:39:44Her skin
00:39:45It has taken me a very long time to love the skin that I'm in but baby I'm here now
00:39:51This is a little nod to that girl performing as trash all glowed up
00:39:55Tans, tans, tans across her shoulders
00:40:01Mandy Mango, she's presenting her face
00:40:04She is
00:40:04My face is a portrait in a picture frame found on my grandma's table at her house
00:40:09I'm showcasing my beauty as a sexy, non-binary individual
00:40:13What am I looking at?
00:40:15It's an altar
00:40:15To herself
00:40:16If you can't pray to yourself
00:40:17How the hell you can pray to anybody else?
00:40:19Amen
00:40:19Didi Fuego
00:40:21Her legs
00:40:22Nothing beats a great pair of legs
00:40:24Uh huh
00:40:25I am wrapped in a custom organza boa
00:40:29There she is
00:40:30I am a cotton candy sprinkles fantasy
00:40:33Do you ever wonder what all that gum you swallowed as a kid looks like in your stomach now?
00:40:38It's Mia Stark
00:40:39Oh
00:40:40Her neck
00:40:41Back
00:40:42Pussy
00:40:42And crack
00:40:44I'd like to keep it on please
00:40:48There's her neck
00:40:49This represents my drag because
00:40:51I'm a woman
00:40:52And I'm a hoe
00:40:53There's her back
00:40:54And when I turn around you get all this cash
00:40:59There's the crack
00:41:00I can't see shit but I know the judges only got eyes for me
00:41:04Come a girl
00:41:05Put some lace in your wall
00:41:07Uh huh
00:41:07Kenya Pleaser
00:41:09We can try
00:41:10She's serving her everything
00:41:12Oh
00:41:12Come on flying squirrel friends
00:41:15This is the epitome of Kenya Pleaser honey
00:41:19I give a little titty titty titty
00:41:21A little ass ass ass
00:41:22You know people always tell me girl cover up cover up
00:41:25Bitch no
00:41:26Beaded for her pleasure
00:41:28Yes
00:41:29Up next Sierra missed her eyes
00:41:31Oh
00:41:32The eyes are the nipples of the face
00:41:34They're also the gateways to the soul
00:41:36I'm featuring a body part that I love in and out of drag
00:41:40I am making sure they get every inch of my eyes
00:41:43All four sets of them
00:41:44I wonder what makes her brown eye blue
00:41:48Nene Coco
00:41:49Her brain
00:41:51This look is very cerebral
00:41:52Mmm
00:41:53My brain is always on my mind
00:41:55So I'm serving up rhinestone brain on a pink platter baby
00:41:59I made the look head to toe from the 3D printed cap
00:42:01All the way to the beautiful structured gloves
00:42:04You say hello to me
00:42:06I say lobotomy
00:42:09Mikey Meeks
00:42:10Her legs
00:42:12I'm a walking billboard
00:42:14Best legs in town
00:42:17I take off the billboard and you see the real pair of legs
00:42:20They are prime meat baby
00:42:22Remember she's more than just a great pair of legs
00:42:26Is she?
00:42:26Yeah she's a dumb slut too
00:42:28Perfect
00:42:29Discord atoms
00:42:31Her back
00:42:32And her crack
00:42:33I want to look like a rich, gaudy, Italian woman
00:42:37I want Michelle to look at me and think that we are related
00:42:47Now starring in gold sphincter
00:42:52Vita Von Teese star
00:42:55Her butt
00:42:57Oh
00:42:57Ain't no two butts about it
00:43:00Baby that booty is important because I'm from Alabama
00:43:03Home of everything that goes right to that ass and makes it thick
00:43:08I'm giving vintage Linda Evangelista
00:43:11You know what I just remembered?
00:43:13What?
00:43:13I haven't flossed in a while
00:43:16Briar patch blush
00:43:21Her finger
00:43:22Michelle
00:43:22What?
00:43:23How much for one finger?
00:43:24Well
00:43:25This runway represents me because it's gorgeous and glamorous but a little unhinged and weird
00:43:30Which way do I go?
00:43:32I don't know
00:43:33I'm gonna listen to my finger
00:43:34Let's give that finger a hand
00:43:37Some girls do but Jane don't
00:43:40She's featuring her mouth
00:43:42She's speaking in tongues again, Rue
00:43:44I had to choose the body part that I make all my money with
00:43:48My big mouth
00:43:49It's a Carol Burnett reference but edgier because my mouth while beautiful and lovely is also sometimes a little bit
00:43:59deadly
00:43:59The uvula, you don't see many of those these days
00:44:01You don't see many of those, not in Pacoima
00:44:03No
00:44:05Juicy love Dion
00:44:06Her left leg
00:44:08Her left leg
00:44:09Her right leg is not up for discussion
00:44:11My designer Francesco and I decided to take it a Schiaparelli route
00:44:15I had surgery on my left leg
00:44:17She recovered excellently and she's as strong as ever
00:44:21You know that movie, My Left Foot?
00:44:23Yeah
00:44:23Well, it's a remake, My Left Leg
00:44:29Welcome queens, when I call your name, please step forward
00:44:32Athena Dion
00:44:35Darlene Mitchell
00:44:36Mandy Mango
00:44:39Diddy Fuego
00:44:42Team Studio 50 Whores
00:44:44I'm sorry my dears, but you are the bottom group of the week
00:44:49And you're all up for elimination
00:44:59Meastar
00:45:01Jane don't
00:45:03You are tops
00:45:07Bet you don't hear that often
00:45:10The rest of you are safe
00:45:12You may leave the stage
00:45:18Now it's time for the judges' critiques
00:45:20Starting with
00:45:22Athena Dion
00:45:23What I love about you is you probably are the most draggy drag queen in this whole season
00:45:29And I love the way you paint
00:45:31It's just drag
00:45:32This look that you have tonight is majestic, gorgeous, stunning
00:45:37I'm just very impressed
00:45:38Thank you
00:45:38I know you are the mother of the house of Dion
00:45:40Yes ma'am
00:45:41And I love the way that you opened up the girl group as mother
00:45:45But you guys were given funky in a way that Sylvester would have done it
00:45:50And I didn't get that
00:45:51What you all did was sort of belittle the song where you made it
00:45:55Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
00:45:57When the song is more soulful
00:45:59You follow what I'm saying?
00:46:00I do
00:46:01Up next, Darlene Mitchell
00:46:03Darlene, drag is always more
00:46:06Kinda like this outfit
00:46:07It's a whole bunch of shit going on girl
00:46:09In the girl group, you were like a character out of a film that I would like fall in love
00:46:14with
00:46:14And paste all over my wall
00:46:15Like you were really a vision, you were so stunning
00:46:17But we were missing soul
00:46:19And I think it's because you were each doing your own thing to get through it
00:46:24Even if you look at let's say the Spice Girls
00:46:26Each has their own personality but they all come together in unity
00:46:31The only time I felt sort of that wild abandon of disco happened
00:46:36Was when you were holding that long note
00:46:39It sort of had the whimsy and the non-seriousness of disco
00:46:44Did you feel that way in performing the number?
00:46:47Yes, because I'm actually really proud of myself
00:46:50I did the bar circuit, you know, for years
00:46:53And then I became sober
00:46:55And drag became something very personal to me
00:46:58That I just did in my own home
00:47:04It's okay
00:47:06I didn't realize how much I missed and needed
00:47:10The sort of queer joy that all of these girls have given me
00:47:15How long have you been sober?
00:47:17I've been sober for about nine years
00:47:20Can I ask you about the name Darlene Mitchell?
00:47:24Mitchell is actually my given middle name
00:47:27And Darlene, I feel like, is just the perfect mix of this, like, dynasty soap opera glamour
00:47:34And also just this trash
00:47:35It is one of the stupidest names I've ever heard
00:47:40And I love it
00:47:44It's good to see you laugh
00:47:45And you are in the right place
00:47:47This is where joy happens
00:47:48And this is our addiction
00:47:50It's a good addiction
00:47:51Thank you
00:47:52Up next, Mandy Mango
00:47:54Now, as far as the disco, your dance drop saved it for me
00:47:58I really like the way that you danced and moved around
00:48:02You had quite a lot of energy, but the energy level was really mismatched
00:48:07The girl group challenge has to be about everyone finding an equal level together
00:48:13You were doing Fred Schneider from the B-52s
00:48:15My real queer soap coming alive
00:48:17Fred Schneider's a great friend of mine and of this show
00:48:20It just doesn't sort of work with the Sylvester disco thing
00:48:24Tonight on the runway, it looks like you are the work of art
00:48:27And people are visiting you, am I correct?
00:48:30I'm like the table off to the side with all the family picture frames and little knick-knacks
00:48:35Okay
00:48:36It's the bottom half that doesn't really work for me
00:48:38I don't like those colors together
00:48:39I understand you're trying to be like the wood now that you're telling us what it is
00:48:43I wouldn't say it's pleasing to the eye
00:48:45It's interesting
00:48:48Up next, Didi Fuego
00:48:50Your legs are gorgeous, so I'm glad you showcased them
00:48:54But I think your makeup needs dementia
00:48:56It gets very flat
00:48:58I want to get to the disco challenge
00:49:00Girl, you were stiff as a dick
00:49:03I do agree it was very stiff and it felt enclosed
00:49:05I really think that you boxed yourselves in with the choreo
00:49:09I think it must have been a misunderstanding of what the song was and what you were meant to do
00:49:15with it
00:49:15Absolutely, she's absolutely right
00:49:17Who was the leader of your group?
00:49:18There wasn't one leader, but especially I think during the choreography section, Athena led us through that moment
00:49:26Did you have any input in the choreo?
00:49:28I did
00:49:28I wish maybe that I pushed my opinion more to elevate the steam and to funk it up
00:49:35Alright, thank you
00:49:36Up next, Mia Star
00:49:38When the performance was over, TS and I leaned over to each other and we said, that's a star
00:49:43Yep
00:49:43You were bossing everyone around with your energy and I was also like a little afraid of you in like
00:49:47a really sexy way
00:49:48From the moment you opened your mouth, you pulled us in
00:49:51As a recording artist, you want there to be a reason for your voice to be recorded and that's what
00:49:56you gave us
00:49:57This look, I think the concept is amazing, but for me I like to see your face a little bit
00:50:02I just like to see the drags
00:50:04If you're gonna give somebody your neck, your back, your pussy and your crack
00:50:08Let them look into your eyes and give you money
00:50:12Up next, some girls do, but Jane don't
00:50:17After recording with you and seeing what you did, I can tell how smart you are
00:50:23You knew just what you wanted to do and what came out was pure magic
00:50:27And then this on the runway, honey, it had me over here under the table speaking in tongues
00:50:32Hai yada boshata, hai yada boshata
00:50:36You are so hilarious, so camp, you were a rock star
00:50:40I would put the record back over and over so I could hear your part because it is completely fire
00:50:46retardant
00:50:47It means you won't light on fire
00:50:49It means you won't light on fire
00:50:51Thank you, Queens, I think we've heard enough
00:50:53While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate
00:50:59All right, now just between us squirrel friends, I want to know what you think
00:51:03Let's start with Thina Dionne
00:51:04I think as the leader, definitely some pressure is gonna fall on her shoulders for the shortcomings of the performance
00:51:10But she was beautiful tonight on the runway, she embodied goddess to me
00:51:15Darlene Mitchell
00:51:17The way she screamed and yodeled, it drew me in, but it was her stiffness that kept me out
00:51:23But everything was there visually, she looked like a glamorous disco Sherry Lewis, all she needed was a disco lamb
00:51:29chop
00:51:30I would have been very happy
00:51:32Mandy Mangum
00:51:33Mandy could actually dance and she can dance really, really well
00:51:36However, she needs to switch to decap
00:51:38We absolutely needed her to just take it down a little bit so she can fit in
00:51:43But her look tonight on the runway, when she said that the skirt was supposed to be wood, was when
00:51:48I did my own little Google map zoom out
00:51:50And I was like, oh that really doesn't read, that really, that really doesn't read
00:51:55If it's brown, flush it down
00:51:57Thank you
00:51:59Let's talk about Didi Fuego
00:52:01Tonight on the runway, I did love her legs, I thought that they were very handsome
00:52:05Not handsome
00:52:07I love that in her lyrics she was talking about Fuego, but she actually could have gotten really behind these
00:52:13lyrics and showed us who she really is
00:52:15I saw so much personality behind the eyes, I think she has a fire and she's just not expressing it
00:52:22Where is the Fuego?
00:52:24Let's move on down to Mia Stark
00:52:26As soon as she opened her mouth, it was like, okay, I'm here for that
00:52:29The tone of her voice, she branded herself at the Mamma Mia's like, ah, this is what I want
00:52:33But here's the thing for me, on the runway, I would have loved to have seen her eyes
00:52:37I think her brown eye was showing
00:52:39Ah, it was
00:52:42Jane Doe
00:52:43She really seems like someone who knows who she is, is very confident
00:52:47She understands what the brief is, she understands what her brand is
00:52:51And then on the runway, this is classic Seattle drag, she even had gums on her mouth
00:52:56Everything about it I just thought was really well done, and I just loved her
00:53:00All right, silence, I've made my decision
00:53:04Bring back my girls
00:53:07Welcome back queens
00:53:09Made some decisions
00:53:15Darlene Mitchell
00:53:16We love the skin you're in
00:53:18Now it's time to let it all hang out
00:53:23You are safe
00:53:25You may join the other girls
00:53:27Thank you
00:53:32Thank you
00:53:32Mia Starr
00:53:33Your neck, your back, your pussy, and you're safe
00:53:41You may join the other girls
00:53:43Yes, Mia
00:53:43Thank you
00:53:44Jane Doe
00:53:46This week we loved your lips
00:53:49All three sets
00:53:53Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge
00:53:55Thank you so much
00:53:57Thank you so much
00:53:57You've won a cash tip of 5,000 doulas
00:54:03To have won this challenge feels completely out of a field, but also a little correct
00:54:10Thank you
00:54:12What the fuck?
00:54:17Athena Dion
00:54:18You needed more funk in your trunk
00:54:22Mandy Mango
00:54:25Your table look was wobbly
00:54:28Didi Fuego
00:54:30Your fuego was not on fire
00:54:39Athena Dion
00:54:40Athena Dion
00:54:40You're safe
00:54:44Thank you
00:54:45You may join the other girls
00:54:47Good luck to you though
00:54:48I love you
00:54:49I love you
00:54:50You're too good
00:54:51Holy fuck
00:54:53Mandy
00:54:54Didi
00:54:55I'm sorry my dears
00:54:57But you are both up for elimination
00:54:59I feel confused
00:55:01I don't know if it's delusion
00:55:03But I don't think the team was in the bottom because of me
00:55:05Two queens stand before me
00:55:08Prior to tonight
00:55:09You were asked to prepare a lip sync performance
00:55:12Of Too Much
00:55:14By Dove Cameron
00:55:16We're experiencing the first lip sync for your life of season 18
00:55:20In this corner, Didi Fuego
00:55:22Consummate New York performer
00:55:24And in this corner, Mandy Mango
00:55:26A literal table
00:55:27And over there is Dove Cameron
00:55:29And this is too much
00:55:30Ladies, this is your last chance
00:55:33To impress me
00:55:34And save yourself
00:55:36From elimination
00:55:40The time has come
00:55:43For you to lip sync
00:55:46For
00:55:48Your
00:55:49Life
00:55:54It's my second time in the bottom
00:55:55And I very well could be the first to go home
00:55:57And I can't let that happen
00:55:59My energy didn't match the girl group
00:56:02But mama, I'm ready to give a high energy number for this lip sync for my life
00:56:06Good luck
00:56:08And don't
00:56:10Fuck it up
00:56:12Party number one
00:56:13Game over
00:56:15Let's go
00:56:16Let's go
00:56:18If you're saying too much
00:56:20Baby go find less
00:56:21If you can't keep up
00:56:23Stay below
00:56:24I can't
00:56:25Mandy is such a sweet spirit
00:56:27And I'm so team Mandy
00:56:29So
00:56:29Get the damn table up
00:56:30Meow
00:56:37Trinkets are shattering everywhere
00:56:38The table finally comes off
00:56:39That means
00:56:40It is now
00:56:41On
00:56:41How
00:56:46More candy
00:56:47Oh
00:56:48It's so like you to put me down
00:56:51Down
00:56:51Come on
00:56:52If you're saying too much
00:56:53Baby go find less
00:56:55If you're saying too much
00:56:56If you can keep up
00:56:57Stay below
00:56:58I guess
00:56:59If I'm such a big deal
00:57:00Maybe you're too little
00:57:02Oh
00:57:03Be careful
00:57:05More
00:57:06Are you doing too much
00:57:07Puffing up your chest
00:57:08We're going to run back to our tracks
00:57:10We do know back before
00:57:13Now GD is sitting over there looking like a fucking loofah
00:57:16She's literally doing this
00:57:17Can't you get her look like that
00:57:19Say that, just do that
00:57:20What?
00:57:23The more bitches!
00:57:38Too, too much for you
00:57:40I can see
00:57:41Why you held on so hard
00:57:43Not your fault
00:57:44That it wasn't in the car
00:57:47Honey, please
00:57:48I'm sending warmer cards in a box
00:57:51Of your things in a black car
00:57:54If you say I'm too much
00:57:56Baby, go find less
00:57:58If you can't keep up
00:57:59Stay below, I guess
00:58:01If I'm such a big deal
00:58:03Maybe you're too little
00:58:05Ooh, ooh, it's tough
00:58:07Too, too, too much for you
00:58:09Oh, oh
00:58:10Baby, I ain't under pressure
00:58:12Oh, oh
00:58:14Gather up, return to cinder
00:58:16Okay!
00:58:17Yeah!
