00:00:00TV.
00:00:03Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race,
00:00:05you'll be performing in three Q-pop girl groups.
00:00:10Didi Fuego.
00:00:11Girl, you were stiff as a dick.
00:00:14Mandy Mango.
00:00:15I'm like the table with all the family picture frames.
00:00:17I don't like those colors together.
00:00:19Jane, don't.
00:00:20Test it positive for slaying.
00:00:22It burns.
00:00:24You were a rock star.
00:00:25Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.
00:00:28Thank you so much.
00:00:30Mandy Mango, Shantae, you stay.
00:00:34Didi Fuego, sashay away.
00:00:46We made it, girly.
00:00:47We made it, girly.
00:00:49I just sent Didi Fuego home,
00:00:51my fellow Studio 50 whore sister,
00:00:54and I see her message on the mirror.
00:00:56Divas, hate this for me,
00:00:58but love all of you.
00:01:00Didi Fuego.
00:01:01We love you.
00:01:02We love you.
00:01:03We love you.
00:01:05I'm really sad to see Didi go home so soon,
00:01:08but I was really so close to being that person writing the message on the mirror.
00:01:13It was a murder on the dance floor.
00:01:14I went into that knowing I had to kill it, but I had to take up this fucking table.
00:01:19And then I heard all the shattering behind me.
00:01:21Table service.
00:01:23After being in the bottom two times in a row, I've had Cardi B call my dress ugly.
00:01:28Oh my God, I hate it.
00:01:29I now had Rue call my table ugly, essentially.
00:01:32I wouldn't say it's pleasing to the eye.
00:01:35I know I have dug a deep hole for myself,
00:01:37but I got to do a lot of work to show Rue that I deserve to continue to be here.
00:01:41Miss Jane, congratulations.
00:01:43Oh my God.
00:01:45Oh my God.
00:01:47Drew told me to just keep doing what I'm doing.
00:01:49So I'm going to keep on keeping on.
00:01:53I don't know.
00:01:54I'm feeling very good about my win, but I'm also feeling a little bit of a shift in energy
00:02:01where I was in the top the first week.
00:02:04I just won and it feels like there's a bit of a target on my back.
00:02:08Athena, what is going through your kooky little brain?
00:02:11Cause you have been on a rollercoaster bitch.
00:02:14It's like a ping pong game in here right now.
00:02:17It was so surreal when she said I was safe.
00:02:19Like I just felt like my whole body just dropped.
00:02:21During critiques, Didi mentioned that in the beginning,
00:02:24you ended up taking the lead with the choreo.
00:02:26During the choreography section at the very beginning,
00:02:29Athena led us through that moment.
00:02:32Do you have any feelings about that?
00:02:33Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:02:34I don't think I shut anybody down at any point.
00:02:37So that kind of came out of left field.
00:02:38I think Athena is probably a little shaken right now.
00:02:41No more bottoms for the Dion's, please.
00:02:43Hello.
00:02:44To be the grand dame of Miami and to come immediately here and not excel.
00:02:49Ooh, I'm kind of vibing with that.
00:02:51Way to humble her.
00:02:52You know what, Athena?
00:02:53What?
00:02:54You're a boob head.
00:02:57Ew.
00:02:58Athena's gonna get staffed.
00:02:59That's all she needs at this point.
00:03:01Briar is starting to get on my nerves.
00:03:03She is like an annoying little bird around the workroom
00:03:05that you just want to open the window and push out.
00:03:09And she seems like the kind of girl that wants to throw the other girls off their game.
00:03:14Briar, I'm so vulnerable right now.
00:03:16Please leave me alone.
00:03:17Give me a kiss.
00:03:18Please leave me alone.
00:03:20But keep your eye on the prize and stay in your mother tucking lane.
00:03:30The 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.
00:03:44With extra special guest judge, Sarah Sherman.
00:03:48RuPaul's Drag Race is the best drag queen win.
00:03:51Drag queen win.
00:03:56Good morning, workroom.
00:03:58Good morning.
00:03:59Good morning, world.
00:04:02It is a new week.
00:04:03I am so happy to be walking back into the workroom.
00:04:06It is a fresh new start.
00:04:07Anyone knows his body just, like, exhausted right now?
00:04:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:11Girl.
00:04:12I mean, this is season 30.
00:04:14Uh-oh.
00:04:15We got to get Nana back to the retirement home, girl.
00:04:19Do y'all know what brings me the most joy?
00:04:21What?
00:04:22Seeing Mama Mia laugh every day, huh?
00:04:24Yeah!
00:04:24Girl, girl.
00:04:27I love to see Mia laugh, and it don't take much.
00:04:30Girl, you can tell Mia, hey, and she's busting out laughing.
00:04:32I see the back of that bitch mouth more than I see her face at this point.
00:04:39Oh, girl.
00:04:41She know how ready the hair hurts.
00:04:44Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:04:45Let's go, go, go, go.
00:04:46Crew rule number 53.
00:04:49In comedy, timing is everything.
00:04:52Without it, you're just another queen talking too much.
00:04:56Oh, man.
00:04:58I'm not gonna shut the fuck out.
00:05:01Hello, hello, hello.
00:05:03Oh, my goodness.
00:05:05Come on, Pinstripe.
00:05:06Good morning, queens.
00:05:08Good morning.
00:05:09For this week's Maxi Challenge, you'll be starring in everybody's favorite sketch comedy show, RDR Live.
00:05:20I am ready.
00:05:24Fucking comedy challenge.
00:05:26Finally, the loud, annoying bitches are gonna shine.
00:05:29In a moment, you'll have a chance to read through the sketches and choose your parts.
00:05:35Then later today, you'll have one take to make it or break it when you go live on the air.
00:05:43Remember, we are looking for breakout characters that will make America giggle again.
00:05:50I'm taking champagne.
00:05:55I don't act.
00:05:56I don't do comedy.
00:05:57So I'm looking around the room and I'm like, damn.
00:06:01Damn.
00:06:03Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
00:06:11RDR Live.
00:06:12Yeah.
00:06:14It's time to pick our roles, baby.
00:06:15Let's get into these sketches.
00:06:17My libretto is so large.
00:06:19In RDR Live, you can pick a really out there character that's so different from who you are and shine
00:06:24just by having a few lines and that can be the key to success.
00:06:27Or you can stick true to yourself and really show who you are and sometimes that's the key to success.
00:06:33Oh my God.
00:06:36Bitch, pick a role that comes into a scene and steals it.
00:06:40Be a scene stealer.
00:06:42I think I want Plum.
00:06:43I don't know.
00:06:43Plum comes into the scene and she disrupts everything.
00:06:47Bitch, go for Plum.
00:06:48So I'm really looking at Plum for the lipstick lesbian.
00:06:50Okay.
00:06:51I'm actually looking at Butch.
00:06:53Yes!
00:06:53Oh my God!
00:06:54Okay.
00:06:55I could be red then.
00:06:56So we have to fight, bitch.
00:06:57That's gonna be fun.
00:06:59Lipstick lovers, clothes.
00:07:00Clothes.
00:07:00Clothes.
00:07:01Back in the 1980s, a young Michelle Visage learns everything she knows while working in the office supply business.
00:07:08I'm happy with Michelle.
00:07:10No one wants that one.
00:07:11I think you give Michelle doubt.
00:07:13Yeah.
00:07:13Yeah.
00:07:13I'm a young Michelle Visage.
00:07:16And I'll be Jean, your supervisor.
00:07:18I really want Daisy.
00:07:20The bitch who entered with corn has gotta be at the butter churning competition.
00:07:25I want Barbara Johnson.
00:07:27Perfect.
00:07:27We needed a Barbara.
00:07:28Barbara Johnson is an old Amish lady who is sexually churning butter.
00:07:33It's an opportunity to make Rue and the judges laugh.
00:07:37We have QNN News Sketch.
00:07:40Our trustworthy news anchors get a visit from one of the anchors overly supportive mother.
00:07:46I would love anchor number one.
00:07:48I feel like I've deduced what I would like.
00:07:51And I would like to be the inner saboteur.
00:07:54I saw that for you.
00:07:55Surprise.
00:07:56I saw that for you, honey.
00:07:57I have to be someone's inner saboteur.
00:07:59The person I'm the saboteur of is the host of the show.
00:08:04And who's the host of every six?
00:08:07Athena, I just feel like we'd have good chemistry out there.
00:08:10No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:08:12Briar, Briar wants to be my scene partner.
00:08:15Bitch, I'm trying to get as far away from you as I can.
00:08:17I want to be the overbearing mother.
00:08:19I also really like the supportive mom.
00:08:23Come on, Jane.
00:08:24I really want to do that one.
00:08:25But I feel like, don't you want to do the host?
00:08:27I really want to do the mom.
00:08:29The host of RDR Live has to kick everything off and you either succeed or you flop.
00:08:34So maybe there's some strategy happening here.
00:08:36Is this a setup?
00:08:38You and Briar together makes so much sense.
00:08:40It kind of writes itself.
00:08:42What are you scared of, Athena?
00:08:43Do you want me to be the host because you guys want to see her just attack me on RDR
00:08:46Live?
00:08:47I do also think you are a host back home.
00:08:50I understand it would fit, but I really like the mom part.
00:08:52As do I.
00:08:54I can hear this woman's voice in my brain.
00:08:56She's calling to me through the ether.
00:08:59And I know that I can turn out better than Athena.
00:09:02Athena, you are such an accomplished host.
00:09:05And also, you know, you want to just go so bad and it didn't seem to work out.
00:09:09Maybe you should do something that would push you more.
00:09:12Shake that up.
00:09:12Shake that table.
00:09:14Maybe it's time that you push yourself to try something that you don't immediately want.
00:09:19Go ahead, Athena.
00:09:21Host RDR Live.
00:09:22You're a big hostess.
00:09:23Make it work.
00:09:24Am I just going to be handed scraps every week and say, turn this straw into gold, Athena.
00:09:29Prove us you're magical.
00:09:31Fuck my drag, right?
00:09:32Okay, I'm the host.
00:09:33Okay.
00:09:35And does that mean I can be mom?
00:09:36Mommy.
00:09:37Perfect.
00:09:37Are we happy with our parts?
00:09:39Yes.
00:09:39I'm so happy.
00:09:41What have I gotten myself into?
00:09:45Live from Tuckahoe, it's RDR Live.
00:09:48I'm so excited.
00:09:49Me too.
00:09:50Ciao.
00:09:51This week's maxi challenge is RDR Live.
00:09:55This sketch is so funny because the whole thing is just a big innuendo.
00:09:59And we're also tubes of lipstick.
00:10:03This is RuPaul's school of overacting honey.
00:10:06You just have to act stupid.
00:10:09You tubes, I'm a liar.
00:10:11I see ya.
00:10:13And bitch, this is what I do.
00:10:17I feel very comfy.
00:10:20I know who this woman is.
00:10:21I know where she's going.
00:10:22This woman, she's got hot dish.
00:10:24Yeah.
00:10:24She's making casserole that's going to give you a coronary.
00:10:28RuPaul specifically said that he's looking for breakout characters.
00:10:33What an appetite.
00:10:35Mom.
00:10:35And so that is very much informing my thinking for how I'm going to approach this challenge.
00:10:41We should go.
00:10:42They're serving stuffed pig.
00:10:43No, mom.
00:10:44No.
00:10:45I don't know.
00:10:46If she's in the topic, I'll be happy for her because I love her.
00:10:51But three in a row is a bit much.
00:10:55This kind of thing is so up my alley.
00:10:58But I can see the little shark fins in the water that started gathering when I won the girl group
00:11:04challenge.
00:11:05And now there's more of them.
00:11:07If I don't deliver, it's going to be a problem.
00:11:10Oh.
00:11:11My.
00:11:12Folks, please say hello to my inner saboteur.
00:11:17I've come to terms that I will be a great host of RDR Live.
00:11:21What I'm still working on is accepting the fact that I have Briar as my scene partner.
00:11:26You're about to bomb this hosting gig worse than you bombed last week's challenge.
00:11:30That was ages ago.
00:11:32Oh.
00:11:34I've grown up.
00:11:36Don't forget that.
00:11:36I want to call you fat with like everything in me.
00:11:39But I can't do that if you don't say how you've grown up.
00:11:42Briar.
00:11:44Briar.
00:11:44I just really want to deliver a good opening monologue for RDR Live.
00:11:49I've bragged to all these girls that I'm the premier host of Miami.
00:11:51Like I can't walk in here and bomb due to Briar.
00:11:56Too real.
00:11:57This is too real.
00:11:58She puts the ass in assistance.
00:12:00It's the new secretary, Michelle Visage.
00:12:04Judge much?
00:12:06I really want to do well this challenge.
00:12:08This is one of my biggest strengths.
00:12:10So I'm just excited to flex that muscle.
00:12:13Ugh.
00:12:15Someday I'm going to be a star.
00:12:17Everything I say comes from a place of love.
00:12:19I want you to be the best assistant secretary you can be.
00:12:24I think we got to figure out what voice you're going for.
00:12:27Yeah.
00:12:27Do you feel comfortable with an accent?
00:12:30Like a New Jersey, New York accent?
00:12:32Hmm.
00:12:33Not too, too much.
00:12:34I've tried accents before.
00:12:36All my friends laugh at me.
00:12:37I'm going to need to see more.
00:12:38The accent is just not going to happen.
00:12:40I've never done sketch comedy.
00:12:42Well, sweetheart, this is the Olympics of office supplies.
00:12:46And this...
00:12:47I feel like, I feel like they're handing us drag race references as we do this.
00:12:53This is the Olympics of office supplies.
00:12:55Yeah.
00:12:55Yeah, it could be bigger.
00:12:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:57And this, it's basically...
00:12:58And this, it's basically a corset.
00:13:00You know?
00:13:00Okay, okay.
00:13:02We got to have fun with it.
00:13:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:04This type of challenge calls for a good partner to go back and forth with and making sure the energy
00:13:11is up.
00:13:12You got to stop relying on that body.
00:13:14Maybe you say it like her.
00:13:16Stop relying on that body.
00:13:18You know?
00:13:19Stop relying on that body.
00:13:21Let's just go big.
00:13:21Let's try it.
00:13:22I'm just really hoping she can get out of her head and deliver.
00:13:26Gag.
00:13:28Hey, Ladycans!
00:13:31We've got company.
00:13:33All the way from Saturday Night Live, say hello to Sarah Sherman.
00:13:43Hi.
00:13:45Shall we, darling?
00:13:45Oh, yes, thank you, darling.
00:13:47Why?
00:13:49I am obsessed with Sarah Sherman.
00:13:52All right, come on over.
00:13:53Discord, Mia Starr, Darlene Mitchell, and Mandy Mango.
00:13:58Say hello to Sarah.
00:14:00Hi, Sarah.
00:14:01Sarah's been doing stand-up and sketches on television.
00:14:05I don't miss an episode of SNL.
00:14:07Good.
00:14:07There's some stuff going on.
00:14:08Discord, the first week you walked on the runway, you had a very distinctive walk.
00:14:13Look at that walk.
00:14:15That is definitely a walk.
00:14:18You looked like a crazed person.
00:14:20Oh, in a bad way?
00:14:21No, you know, the most entertaining way possibly.
00:14:25Historians will look back on that runway walk.
00:14:27Yeah.
00:14:27And they will think, what was wrong with me?
00:14:34Should I dial it back?
00:14:36No, whatever you're doing, keep doing it.
00:14:38I loved it.
00:14:39I loved it.
00:14:39I have no idea what intrigues Rue about my walk so much.
00:14:44So hopefully somebody can let me know.
00:14:47Darlene, do you have a question for Sarah?
00:14:49I do.
00:14:50When you get a role that you're really excited for, do you sort of like let yourself kind of become
00:14:55someone else completely?
00:14:57Or do you try to stay present in that?
00:14:59You have to like constantly be open like to the character evolving while you're doing it.
00:15:04Something happens when you put on the full costume.
00:15:07So don't be so locked in an idea before all the finishing touches happen.
00:15:13That was the most important thing, what she just said right there.
00:15:17That was so smart.
00:15:18And this one here, this Mango, she lip synced last week for her life.
00:15:22Wow.
00:15:22And just tore it up.
00:15:25Mandy Mango is very animated, very kooky.
00:15:28Oh.
00:15:28So she likes to be a little freaky too.
00:15:30You're all so different.
00:15:32Lean into that.
00:15:34Lean into that.
00:15:34You're all a bunch of fucking frees.
00:15:38It's brilliant.
00:15:39I haven't done too much formal sketch comedy, but I feel like this is asking for this quirky, bonkers energy
00:15:47that Rue keeps recognizing in me.
00:15:49And I think this is the right place to place that energy.
00:15:51I don't think this is the right place to see you.
00:15:54All right.
00:15:55Nene, Kenya, Coco, Shanika, Rondija, Vida, Mikey, and Juicy.
00:16:05And where's Rishanda?
00:16:07I'm right here, girl.
00:16:11Tell Sarah what you're playing, starting with Juicy.
00:16:14I'm in the Young Michelle sketch, and I'm playing Gene, a sharp and sarcastic older office worker who teaches her
00:16:21Michelle what she knows.
00:16:23Don't say older and look at me.
00:16:26How do you suggest I go about that to make it funny?
00:16:30You're modeling it off of, like, one of the funniest people ever.
00:16:33Right.
00:16:33So it's like you're doing a love letter to Michelle Visage.
00:16:37Take yourself out of your head and be, like, a little present, and then just get on your knees and
00:16:43pray to God that you're being hilarious.
00:16:45When Sarah's like, wait, you're not just playing an older character, you're doing an homage to Michelle Visage.
00:16:50It was like an oh shit moment.
00:16:53Like, what the hell did I just get myself into?
00:16:56Anybody have theater background?
00:16:58Mikey does.
00:16:59How'd you get into theater?
00:17:00I've always just had that entertainer side of me, and to be honest, it's Saturday Night Live that helped influence
00:17:07that entertainer in me.
00:17:09And Drag Race and Saturday Night Live are two big dreams I had, so this feels like a really big
00:17:17moment.
00:17:17Yeah.
00:17:18Are you about to cry?
00:17:19I've already cried, Ru!
00:17:20I've cried, like, twice already!
00:17:22Doing RDR Live is just bringing back so many memories.
00:17:25My dad worked a lot growing up, a lot of hours.
00:17:29And the time we spent together as a kid was him coming home after work on Saturdays, and we'd watch
00:17:37Saturday Night Live together.
00:17:38I'm just so excited for him to see me do what I've been wanting to do for a very long
00:17:45time.
00:17:45Good, that's great.
00:17:46Yeah.
00:17:47You know what to do.
00:17:48Just don't overthink it.
00:17:49Have fun.
00:17:50Just don't fuck it up.
00:17:51All right, loves.
00:17:52Thanks for calling.
00:17:53Go on back to work.
00:17:54Thank you, Sarah.
00:17:54Bye!
00:17:55I really want to win this challenge because it is something I feel very passionate about, and I would just
00:18:00really love that validation.
00:18:03We're going to kill her.
00:18:04Yes, we are.
00:18:05All right, now, Queens, listen up.
00:18:07Sarah has something to say.
00:18:08As someone who has famously played an owl, a squirrel, and a worm on live television, I am so excited
00:18:17to announce that for the runway category is animal attraction.
00:18:23Yeah.
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:26All right.
00:18:26So good luck.
00:18:28And don't fuck it up, please.
00:18:35Good evening.
00:18:37I'm Diane Shunk.
00:18:39And I'm Patsy Dongle, welcoming you to the 69th Annual Butter Churning Championship.
00:18:45Tonight's match-up features 14-time churning champion Barbara Johnson.
00:18:52Isn't she just darling?
00:18:54Hi, ladies.
00:18:56It's always been a delight to see you.
00:18:59Proud to keep this great tuck-a-ho tradition alive.
00:19:05Now, here's newcomer Daisy Sweet Cream McCoy.
00:19:08She answered the competition just a few hours ago.
00:19:11Daisy, tell us about yourself.
00:19:13Well, I was just down at the parking lot with some of the fellas, and they dared me to enter.
00:19:19Because they says I was good with my hands.
00:19:22So you've churned before.
00:19:24Well, not butter.
00:19:28What a contrast in contestants.
00:19:31This should be fun to watch, Patsy.
00:19:34All right, let's get to churning.
00:19:39Exceptional form from Barb Johnson.
00:19:42Her trademark slow and steady rhythm.
00:19:46You can't rush that cream.
00:19:48I see Daisy McCoy is opting for a two-handed grip.
00:19:52An unconventional but effective move.
00:19:56Johnson is picking up the pace.
00:19:58Look at her go!
00:20:00McCoy is really showing that pole who's boss.
00:20:03I have never seen such powerful stroking.
00:20:07This is what competitive churning is all about, Diane.
00:20:11Oh, my God!
00:20:13Daisy is going for a double turn!
00:20:16And the judges are allowing it.
00:20:18We are in uncharted territory, folks.
00:20:23Holy cow!
00:20:24The ball is off.
00:20:26She looks like she's really enjoying this, too.
00:20:30What is happening?
00:20:31This is insanity, folks.
00:20:35For I should not prepare me for this.
00:20:42And that is time.
00:20:45It's a tie!
00:20:47Now, that is what I call a happy ending.
00:20:51And live from Tuckahoe!
00:20:54It's RDR Live!
00:20:59It's RDR Live!
00:21:02With musical guest RuPaul.
00:21:05And your host, Athena Dionne.
00:21:09Welcome to RDR Live!
00:21:14I'm your host, Athena Dionne.
00:21:16And can we talk about how stunned I look, okay?
00:21:21It's giving winner, winner, chicken.
00:21:23I had to skip dinner, all right?
00:21:25Now, listen, guys.
00:21:26I'm a little nervous, but I've been talking to my therapist
00:21:29and she said to breathe and...
00:21:37Well, well, well.
00:21:38Look who's hosting.
00:21:39And with that hair, so brave.
00:21:42Uh, folks, please say hello to my inner saboteur.
00:21:46Oh, don't mind me.
00:21:47I'm just here to watch and judge and maybe whisper my opinion.
00:21:52Uh, I, uh, thought I told you to stay in my dressing room.
00:21:56Oh, honey.
00:21:57Wherever you go, I go.
00:21:58By the way, you've really, uh, committed to this silhouette, huh?
00:22:02Choices.
00:22:03Well, what's wrong with my silhouette?
00:22:04Listen, you need to leave.
00:22:06Oh, I'm not going anywhere.
00:22:08Not when you're about to bomb this hosting gig worse than you bombed last week's challenge.
00:22:11Oh, that was ages ago.
00:22:13I've grown up.
00:22:14Girl, you've grown out.
00:22:16Listen, bitch.
00:22:17My therapist gave me a mantra for times like this.
00:22:21Inner voice of doubt and fear.
00:22:23That's not even real.
00:22:25Your time is up.
00:22:26Now disappear.
00:22:27I'm just trying to protect you from...
00:22:28This queen don't need your shady sass.
00:22:31I'm...
00:22:32So take your leave and kiss my ass.
00:22:39Now, where was I?
00:22:41Oh, yes.
00:22:42We've got a great show lined up for you tonight.
00:22:44Stick around, cause the only voice in my head is saying,
00:22:46You're a winner, baby.
00:22:57Welcome to Master Queef Theater.
00:22:59In the 1950s, Hollywood couldn't portray same-sex desire on screen.
00:23:06Filmmakers relied on subtle imagery and innuendo to convey sexual tension.
00:23:12Tonight's film, Lipstick Lovers, exemplifies this delicate art of suggestion.
00:23:35Hey, gorgeous.
00:23:36Say, aren't you the gal I've seen working the makeup counter at the Five and Dine?
00:23:40You must have me confused with somebody else.
00:23:43I'm no cheap drugstore tester giving it away for free.
00:23:47Let's start over.
00:23:48I didn't catch your name.
00:23:50Ruby Rose, but my friends call me Red.
00:23:53I'm Butch.
00:23:55I can see that.
00:23:57I'll admit, I haven't dabbled much in makeup.
00:24:01I can see that too.
00:24:03But there's something about you that makes me want to pull your top off, give your bottom a twist, and
00:24:10spread you all over my lips.
00:24:12Are you sure your girlfriend won't mind?
00:24:16Girlfriend?
00:24:17Plum Passion.
00:24:18I recognized her on your collar the moment I walked in this joint.
00:24:21Plum?
00:24:22I picked her up at the dollar store.
00:24:24She was cheap and available.
00:24:26I haven't seen her in ages.
00:24:28Who are you calling cheap?
00:24:30Whoa.
00:24:31Plum.
00:24:33I thought I lost you in the ladies room at the bowling alley.
00:24:36You did.
00:24:37I fell behind the toilet, but you were too drunk to notice.
00:24:40I was stuck there until some chick picked me up and took me home.
00:24:43I've been rolling around the bottom of her messy purse for weeks.
00:24:48I'm sorry, Plum.
00:24:49Who's this?
00:24:52Red.
00:24:53I can see that.
00:24:54I mean, what she's doing here was you.
00:24:56We were just about to go back to Butch's place.
00:24:59Oh!
00:25:00You think because you're from some fancy department store that you're better than me?
00:25:06At least I've never been tested on animals.
00:25:10By the way, it wasn't your shade discontinued, Grandma!
00:25:16Lady, stop!
00:25:18I have the lips for the both of you!
00:25:20Shut up, Butch!
00:25:21Yeah!
00:25:22It's all your fault!
00:25:24Oh, no!
00:25:25She's not worth it!
00:25:27You two-timing lions!
00:25:29I see!
00:25:30No!
00:25:31No!
00:25:32No!
00:25:34No!
00:25:34No!
00:25:35No!
00:25:36No!
00:25:36No!
00:25:37No!
00:25:39Let's go, Red.
00:25:40I know a gloss who's into layering.
00:25:43Ooh!
00:25:47Now that, I'd like to see.
00:25:55And now, our musical guest, RuPaul!
00:26:01Who left?
00:26:02Who got the keys to the queendom?
00:26:03What?
00:26:03Who got the keys to the queendom?
00:26:05Oh!
00:26:05We got the keys to the queendom.
00:26:07I heard she tried to shave, but really I don't see her.
00:26:09I used to play ball like a girl,
00:26:10Now I play ball room close across the world.
00:26:12Shape the waist, tell it, and all of this nerd.
00:26:14You need charismatic before they get to surf.
00:26:23Daddy didn't like when I'm feminine.
00:26:25But I got a, got a right to give the people when they go,
00:26:27Turns out they wanna work and talk and talk and watch me.
00:26:30W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w
00:26:35-w-w-w-w-w-w!
00:26:41I don't give a fuck. I would do it again.
00:27:18It's Queen News Network.
00:27:22Good evening, I'm Sierra Mist.
00:27:24And I'm Briar Blush.
00:27:26Our top story tonight, the Olympic Committee has announced a new sporting event for the LA 2028 Olympics, including flag
00:27:33football, squash, and for the West Hollywood athletes, full contact pickle chugging.
00:27:39Plain Jane is favored for the gold.
00:27:42Following in the footsteps of the Elf on a Shelf, a new holiday tradition is sweeping the country.
00:27:47It's dawn on the lawn.
00:27:50Scientists have discovered a new beauty technique to make lips fuller without injections.
00:27:54Unfortunately, it was sadly halted when they just realized it was just Sierra Mist after a very, very busy night.
00:28:00That was in the name of science.
00:28:04Moving on.
00:28:06A recent study shows that education about LGBTQ plus issues creates healthy relationships between queer individuals and their parents.
00:28:14Here to comment is my mom.
00:28:17Oh, hi!
00:28:20Thanks for being here, mom.
00:28:22So, tell us what you've been up to.
00:28:24Well, dear, I wanted to educate myself.
00:28:27So I started at the LGBT Center.
00:28:30Oh.
00:28:30Not a mom in sight, but there was a group for daddies.
00:28:34And I figured parents are parents, so I joined.
00:28:38Oh, dear.
00:28:39I'm almost afraid to ask.
00:28:41Well, let me just say first, they are the nicest bunch of dads.
00:28:45There's Mark, the athlete.
00:28:47He's into water sports.
00:28:49Fred, the delivery guy.
00:28:50He struggles with extra-large packages.
00:28:53Poor, dear.
00:28:55And then there's Al, who everyone calls Prince Albert.
00:28:59Great mustache.
00:29:00He gave me these cute leather bracelets.
00:29:02Oh, my God.
00:29:03Mom, I'm not sure this is the support group you were looking for.
00:29:08Well, sure it is.
00:29:10We also talk about forming meaningful connections.
00:29:13Oh, well, that sounds important.
00:29:15First, we start with role-playing and poppers.
00:29:18And not the jalapeno kind I make for parties.
00:29:21Mrs. Mist, do you have any takeaways you'd like to share from your experience?
00:29:25It's been wonderful to find community.
00:29:27In fact, the gang is having a big bang this weekend.
00:29:31We should go.
00:29:32They're serving stuffed pigs.
00:29:33No, Mom, no.
00:29:35What?
00:29:35We can do the poppers, honey.
00:29:37Bye, Mom, everyone.
00:29:40That's the news.
00:29:42Good night and good talk.
00:29:56Thank you, Michelle.
00:29:58You can take a bite.
00:29:59Hi, I'm Michelle Visage.
00:30:01And before I made it into showbiz, a lot of people don't know that I had a promising career
00:30:06in office supplies.
00:30:08The lessons I learned there, well, they really stuck.
00:30:21So, you're the new secretary, Michelle Shoupak.
00:30:25I go by Visage now.
00:30:28Okay, kid.
00:30:30First things first.
00:30:31Your proportions are fine, but you gotta stop relying on that body.
00:30:38I'm dressed like my idol, Midswana.
00:30:43Well, in the working world, we need versatility.
00:30:46I'm gonna need to see more.
00:30:47What do you mean?
00:30:49Sweetheart, this is the Olympics of office supplies.
00:30:52Your hair could be bigger.
00:30:54And this is basically a corset with a little piece of fabric.
00:31:00Oh, so should I wear this green number?
00:31:02No, you and green, gag.
00:31:07I think your color is more leopard print.
00:31:11Anything else?
00:31:13Well, here's a tip.
00:31:15When anybody asks a question, answer with a double entendre.
00:31:19Make it dirty or funny.
00:31:21Follow my lead.
00:31:25Hey.
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:28Hi, Ronnie.
00:31:30What you packing?
00:31:33Who's the new chick?
00:31:34Well, she puts the ass in assistant.
00:31:38Oh.
00:31:38And loves to take dictation.
00:31:42Hi.
00:31:43So, Michelle, how's your letterhead?
00:31:46No complaints.
00:31:48Yatta girl.
00:31:50Now, Ronnie, take a little spin for us.
00:31:52Yeah, Ronnie, take a little spin.
00:32:00Oh, my sticky note just got stickier.
00:32:06Look at you.
00:32:08You're getting the hang of it.
00:32:10Now he could give me a hole punch.
00:32:12Who?
00:32:12All three.
00:32:14You can put the cream in my coffee.
00:32:16Creamer?
00:32:17I don't even know her.
00:32:18Okay, that was a stretch.
00:32:20Fine.
00:32:21Whatever.
00:32:22This is just a temp job anyway.
00:32:25Someday, I'm going to be a star with the number two song in the country.
00:32:30Plus, I got moves.
00:32:33Oh, yeah.
00:32:35Go massage.
00:32:37Give it!
00:32:39Well, look at that.
00:32:41It's break time.
00:32:42Come on, Ronnie.
00:32:43I'm due for a delivery in the rear.
00:32:47And two words.
00:32:49Boob job.
00:32:51Because it takes two to make a thing go right.
00:32:57I got to write that down.
00:33:07Good night, everybody!
00:33:16All right!
00:33:17A new day!
00:33:18We just filmed RDR Live yesterday.
00:33:21And so today, we get to figure out what the judges actually think about it.
00:33:25This is our first acting challenge.
00:33:26So I feel like this was the test of, like, who can create a character.
00:33:31That's what I was a bit nervous about.
00:33:34The voice?
00:33:35The voice.
00:33:35I was like, hmm, was that a smart choice?
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:40I think she's second-guessing what she did with her voice.
00:33:42Which, it was an odd choice to take the voice down here.
00:33:46Girlfriend.
00:33:47What the fuck?
00:33:48Are we going to damn 80s porn video?
00:33:51Like, what is happening?
00:33:53I don't want to give you a second to tell me.
00:33:57How are you feeling?
00:33:58Well, first, when we announced the challenge, I was like, oh, shit.
00:34:01Acting's not in my wheelhouse, per se.
00:34:04No, you slayed it.
00:34:06I'm feeling a little gray.
00:34:10In the sense that I don't know where I'm going to land in this challenge.
00:34:13But I tried to be as confident as I could, because I'm next to a powerhouse actor.
00:34:19I kind of feel like I'm the weaker performer of the two.
00:34:21Thank you for all your help.
00:34:22Like, yesterday, that was, like, it really got me in the zone.
00:34:26It was, like, one of those, like, life rafts thrown into the wall.
00:34:29Like, sister, I got you.
00:34:30Yeah.
00:34:31I think we did a fantastic job.
00:34:33Like, we had them laughing.
00:34:34And you ate that role.
00:34:36You ate that role.
00:34:37I feel like I hit all my marks.
00:34:40We had people laughing.
00:34:40I think I have a very good shot at winning this challenge.
00:34:47Listen, you inner saboteur, I'm going to kill you.
00:34:50How are we feeling?
00:34:52I feel good.
00:34:53Working with Ryer was a little stressful, but I'm feeling really confident about who I was on stage.
00:34:58I tapped into my inner Diane Keaton.
00:35:00I think I did great.
00:35:01Ryer was over here doing something, trying to be my inner saboteur.
00:35:04I've learned to ignore her.
00:35:05So hopefully she did a good job.
00:35:06I had a good time.
00:35:07It was really fun for me.
00:35:08I mean, I bully you every single day.
00:35:11And to be encouraged to do so, it felt good.
00:35:14Me and Athena both feel pretty good about where we're landing with this sketch.
00:35:18But it's up to the judges to decide who should have been actually confident.
00:35:27Oh, my God.
00:35:31Today, I'm feeling extremely in my head.
00:35:40Are you okay?
00:35:41I'm, like, losing my mind today a little bit.
00:35:43I worry that I didn't do well, and then I worry that if I did do well, that everybody's going
00:35:48to be, like, upset.
00:35:50I know I killed the challenge.
00:35:52I feel almost guilty for doing well again because I know the way it's going to affect my relationships with
00:36:02the other girls in the competition.
00:36:03Being strong and being a good competitor means people will be jealous.
00:36:06Ugh, everybody's going to be so irritated with me if I get in the top again.
00:36:10Jane is stressing herself out because there's a lot of pressure when you are clearly an early frontrunner.
00:36:15And I think she's probably feeling the pressure about having to constantly live up to that.
00:36:19I mean, this is, like, this is so embarrassing.
00:36:22No, it's not.
00:36:23You told me from the jump that you don't want anyone to hate you, and I don't think anyone's going
00:36:26to hate you.
00:36:28You should be proud of yourself.
00:36:29We're proud of you.
00:36:31Briar and Juicy are being very sweet.
00:36:35If you win today, I'm going to be the first person to say congratulations.
00:36:38Hello.
00:36:39It's very sweet to see the side of Briar because she sort of hides behind being kind of a butthead
00:36:45and liking to poke people.
00:36:47But she's really kind of a sweetheart.
00:36:49We have no idea if that's even.
00:36:51They could be like, you're a booger.
00:36:52No, not.
00:36:55For today's look, this is my first time serving you a full-face prosthetic on the runway.
00:36:59How often do you do prosthetics?
00:37:02Pretty often, actually.
00:37:03It's one of the things that I think sets me apart in my drag.
00:37:06Like, I had worked previously as a special effects makeup artist for years.
00:37:09I've worked as a prosthetic makeup artist for over 14 years.
00:37:13Some of my work can be seen on FX as The Gifted, on Dynasty, and on several other Marvel productions.
00:37:19One of my favorite parts about drag is being a spectacle.
00:37:23I love the ability to transform into anything with prosthetic makeup.
00:37:27I think there's actually a lot of queerness in that, this idea of reinvention and transformation.
00:37:32I like bringing it out and mixing it in.
00:37:35That's what's so fun about drag is, like, infusing all the parts of, like, who we are outside of this
00:37:39together and, like, the different jobs that we've done.
00:37:42Yesterday, doing a news segment, I used to work for a news team.
00:37:46I went to school for computer graphics and forensic science.
00:37:49I've worked for the Secret Service.
00:37:51Oh, my God.
00:37:52Okay.
00:37:52I've worked in makeup.
00:37:53I've worked in film.
00:37:54So, like...
00:37:55So, you've been fired a lot.
00:37:57No.
00:37:59Miss Vita, you look crazy.
00:38:01Coming from you?
00:38:04White face?
00:38:05Yeah, Vita, my culture is not a costume.
00:38:10Oh, my God.
00:38:37Are you applauding the fact that I can still walk?
00:38:42Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:38:45She's the funniest bitch I know.
00:38:48Michelle Visage.
00:38:50Funny how?
00:38:51Like, I'm a clown?
00:38:53I amuse you?
00:38:55Ayo!
00:38:58We're going live in 3, 2, 1.
00:39:02It's T.S. Madison.
00:39:04Is it on?
00:39:05Is it on?
00:39:05Is this bitch recording?
00:39:09And the totally twisted Sarah Sherman.
00:39:13Ru, normally I work alone, but tonight I brought little Sarah.
00:39:17Say hi.
00:39:18Hiya, Sarah.
00:39:19Cute.
00:39:21This week we challenge our queens to get totally sketchy on RDR Live.
00:39:26And tonight, on the runway, category is Animal Attraction.
00:39:32Racers, start your engines.
00:39:35And may the best drag queen win.
00:39:43Category is Animal Attraction.
00:39:46Up first, Discord Adams, Albino Alligator.
00:39:52Albino, she better do.
00:39:54I am wearing the alligator skull on my shoulder.
00:39:57I have a handbag that is literally my face.
00:40:01I am an animal carrying a human handbag.
00:40:04You cannot take your eyes off of me,
00:40:06and the eyes of my handbag cannot take their eyes off of you.
00:40:14See you later, alligator.
00:40:16In a wild crocodile.
00:40:18Mia Star's pink poodle.
00:40:21Stop trying to make that happen.
00:40:24This look is an homage to my beautiful son, Zion.
00:40:28The best golden doodle in the world.
00:40:31I made sure to have my Afro puffs as my ears,
00:40:33as my titties, as my booty cheeks, and my tail.
00:40:37I feel real pussy, even though I'm a dog.
00:40:39In the pink poodle club, we all fam.
00:40:44Mandy Mango.
00:40:46Oh, dear.
00:40:47Rue, I think she found this on the side of the road.
00:40:50She is on her way to visit the watering hole of the forest,
00:40:55greet her subjects.
00:40:56My vibe for this runway is giving less of that high-energy kookiness.
00:41:01I want to play it a little more Do-Mure.
00:41:03Ladies and gentlemen, Lyme disease.
00:41:08Darlene Mitchell, cow.
00:41:10Hey, Mr. Holstein.
00:41:15Moo!
00:41:17I've got my cowboy hat, my little ear tag, milk,
00:41:20just in case I get thirsty,
00:41:22and to cap it all off, I've got hooves for heels.
00:41:25Country, cunty, and camp.
00:41:27This cow, all of them.
00:41:29Oh, I can see her Angus.
00:41:33Athena Dionne, white barn owl.
00:41:37Baby, she don't give a hoot.
00:41:39In Greek mythology, the goddess Athena is represented in nature by the owl.
00:41:44There are tassels, there are stones, there's more feathers,
00:41:47I have a face, Kimi.
00:41:48I mean, literally, more is more.
00:41:51Owl have what she's having.
00:41:56Briar Blush, swan.
00:41:59Go jump in a lake.
00:42:00Swan lake.
00:42:02Swans are one of my favorite birds.
00:42:04I actually have a black swan tattooed on my chest.
00:42:07But I chose to be a white swan because white swans are loving and beautiful,
00:42:12but they're also a little vicious.
00:42:15While you're down there, why don't you sing a few bars of swanee?
00:42:21Vita Von Teese, zebra.
00:42:24She's wearing Z panties and Z bra.
00:42:28I am a zebra on the plains of the Serengeti, minding my own business,
00:42:33eating bugs and dirt or whatever the hell zebra eats.
00:42:37Out of nowhere, this big-ass lion attacks me,
00:42:40and I'm just trying to run, honey, be as pretty and as dainty as I can.
00:42:44Baby, they can't get a good zebra down.
00:42:46She's headlining at the Oasis.
00:42:50Nene Coco, poison dart frog.
00:42:53I heard her favorite music is hip-hop.
00:42:56Are you gagging or is that just a frog in your throat?
00:42:59I made the entire frog suit myself.
00:43:02The entire look is a structural masterpiece.
00:43:05I've even got this pink little noisemaker to catch flies if I need to.
00:43:10She's not gay.
00:43:11She's not straight.
00:43:12She's amphibious.
00:43:14Can you please her?
00:43:16Tiger.
00:43:17Where's her tiger wood?
00:43:21I chose a tiger because tigers are fierce, bitch.
00:43:24But not just any tiger.
00:43:25You don't have to make it real blackity-black-black-black.
00:43:27I'm a pimp tiger from around the way, bitch.
00:43:29I'm giving them the nastiest walk.
00:43:32My Naomi Campbell arms are swinging.
00:43:35That's how you sell a garment, ladies and gentlemen.
00:43:37There's a tiger and a little sugar in her tank.
00:43:42Tiramis, chameleon.
00:43:43Leaping lizards.
00:43:45I love building a visual statement piece in my drag.
00:43:50I'm wearing a 10-foot-long tongue, and I'm modeling this tongue like it is the most glamorous boa you've
00:43:55ever seen.
00:43:55I feel powerful.
00:43:57I feel freaky.
00:43:58This look is a beast.
00:44:00Literally.
00:44:01No fly is safe.
00:44:03No.
00:44:04Jane, don't.
00:44:05Macaw.
00:44:06Macaulay Culkin.
00:44:09I didn't want to do a super obvious representation, so I'm giving sort of an abstracted macaw, taking the essence
00:44:17and transferring it into a look.
00:44:19I think one of my strengths is my sense for color, and I am just floating down this runway.
00:44:25Holly, want a cracker?
00:44:26I know I'm starving.
00:44:28Mikey Meeks, cheetah.
00:44:30Anyone here danced at cheetahs?
00:44:33I'm doing a Mugler reference of the cowgirl, but with a cheetah print.
00:44:37I got cheetah from my hat down to my chops, and I got a lasso tail to ring up all
00:44:42the other pesky felines out there.
00:44:44I am pumping this runway like the speedy little cheetah I am.
00:44:49I don't know what you're doing, darling, but you're doing it at the cheetah.
00:44:52You ain't a dancer.
00:44:55Juicy Love Dion.
00:44:57Pangolin.
00:44:58A scaly anteater.
00:45:00Oh.
00:45:01She better lotion up, baby.
00:45:04This runway look includes 5,000 individually cut and placed scales.
00:45:11I feel like this look is grand, but not costumey.
00:45:15It's a work of art.
00:45:16Tipping the scales with gorgeousness.
00:45:20Welcome, queens.
00:45:22When I call your name, please step forward.
00:45:24Discord Adams.
00:45:27Mia Star.
00:45:28Athena Dion.
00:45:32Ninicoco.
00:45:34Ladies, you are safe.
00:45:39Woo!
00:45:39RuPaul just called four safe.
00:45:42I'm not one of them.
00:45:43I'm looking at Juicy like, I think we got it.
00:45:49Can you please her?
00:45:52Sierra Mist.
00:45:54Mikey Meeks.
00:45:58Ladies, you are also safe.
00:46:02Oh.
00:46:03Well, don't I look a fool?
00:46:05You may leave the stage.
00:46:12Queens, you represent the tops and bottoms of the week.
00:46:17Now it's time for the judges' critiques, starting with Mandy Mango.
00:46:22This look on the runway, I love the idea.
00:46:25The skirt, the way you draped it is beautiful.
00:46:27I love the mushrooms.
00:46:29Could have had more mushrooms even.
00:46:30But as I watched the sketch, you being an Amish conservative woman should have continued
00:46:37to play throughout the whole skit.
00:46:39Because there's so much to be done with an Amish conservative character.
00:46:44That's where the comedy was.
00:46:45As much as Darlene was giving crazy rocker white trash person, you needed to give us demure
00:46:52kind of fundamentalist instead of ripping open your blouse and doing that.
00:46:56I like the titties popping out.
00:46:58That's just me.
00:46:59And what does little Sarah have to say?
00:47:02What was that?
00:47:03She said there could have been a third titty.
00:47:05Oh.
00:47:08I really had fun with this challenge.
00:47:09I love any opportunity to go balls-to-the-wall bonkers, but I'm hearing your points of I should
00:47:15have paid more attention to the character and to my partner.
00:47:18All right.
00:47:20Up next, Darlene Mitchell.
00:47:23Indiana's really coming out of you in this competition.
00:47:27You walked out on the runway tonight in this outfit, and I was like, move, bitch.
00:47:32It gave very rich wagyu, honey.
00:47:35You know, that's an expensive meat.
00:47:37I loved you in the sketch.
00:47:39Not butter.
00:47:40It's so fun to watch someone who's having fun, and I could feel you finding more fun things
00:47:46as they were happening.
00:47:47There was so many nuances and so many fun things that every time I looked over at you, I was
00:47:52laughing.
00:47:53Two-handed.
00:47:54You were just as dirty as you needed to be, and I loved every minute of it.
00:47:59You redeemed yourself from last week.
00:48:01I'm very proud of you this week.
00:48:03There's only one glaring mark.
00:48:05You are wearing flats.
00:48:09That is the only glaring mark on your magnificence tonight.
00:48:15Up next, Briar Blush.
00:48:18This outfit is gorgeous.
00:48:20I was in awe watching the feathers just float away when you were walking down the runway.
00:48:26So you got the really fun role with the inner saboteur.
00:48:30There was an opportunity missed with it.
00:48:33It was one note.
00:48:34You're thrown out.
00:48:36And flat.
00:48:36You didn't go anywhere with it.
00:48:37And if it was me, I would have been a little bit maybe crazier, nastier, just to really
00:48:43bring out the contrast between someone and their inner saboteur.
00:48:46We needed more of a relationship between the two of you.
00:48:50And then we got to the QNN news, and I was like, no.
00:48:55More.
00:48:56You're a drag queen.
00:48:58Don't give me more.
00:48:59It wasn't really exciting until Jane came out.
00:49:05Vida Von Tietz.
00:49:07I'm good.
00:49:07I loved the idea of the character, but I felt instantaneously like you didn't believe what
00:49:13you were saying.
00:49:14Acting is reacting, and acting is just talking and being.
00:49:16And that's what I felt like was missing.
00:49:17I picked her up at the dollar store.
00:49:19And I think you were doing yourself a disservice by getting caught up making sure that you were
00:49:24delivering lines as written, instead of giving yourself the opportunity to have fun being
00:49:29present with your scene partner.
00:49:31Now this outfit, girl, I'll ride you all the way to Africa and back.
00:49:37But it looks like you've already been mounted, honey.
00:49:40Your body looks great, and it reminds me of Kennedy Davenport's wounded chicken thing.
00:49:45And this is really, really beautiful.
00:49:48All right, up next, some girls do, but Jane don't.
00:49:51This look is beautiful.
00:49:53And the way that you painted your face, and it complements the entire outfit, I just gagged
00:50:01when you were coming down the runway.
00:50:03In the Q&N News, you were the breath of fresh air that that skit needed.
00:50:09And I thought you did such a spectacular job.
00:50:13You gave us the very best Minnesota mom.
00:50:16And you were really good at just going with it.
00:50:20You're coming for my job, I see.
00:50:22Oh my God, that was amazing.
00:50:25As someone who does that on Saturday Night Live, where I said, I'm going to need to take
00:50:31some notes today.
00:50:32I've become the student.
00:50:33You were really confident, really funny.
00:50:35It was awesome.
00:50:37You know what you came here to do.
00:50:40And I'm very, very excited to watch how you keep going in this competition.
00:50:45Lovely.
00:50:47Up next, Juicy Love Dion.
00:50:49Personally, I think you were in the best sketch of the night.
00:50:54And it might have something to do with the fact that it was called Young Michelle, but
00:50:58to be honest, I thought you felt very strong in your stance.
00:51:01You were very present.
00:51:03That a girl.
00:51:04So many times when people do a crazy accent, that's their one choice for a character.
00:51:09But you had physical choices.
00:51:10You had like subtle choices.
00:51:13It was awesome.
00:51:14The thing that really sold me was how you held your body.
00:51:18You're the new secretary.
00:51:19There was a certain pose that you did.
00:51:22You pulled it off beautifully.
00:51:24I want to tell you this.
00:51:26If they ever invited my Gatois to the Met Gala, I would wear that.
00:51:31Everything about it is gorgeous.
00:51:33And it already has my butt.
00:51:35I just need to drag the thing on the ground.
00:51:38And why a penguin?
00:51:40It's a critically endangered animal.
00:51:41And it's traded all over the world because of their scales.
00:51:44I've always wanted to be a veterinarian growing up.
00:51:46And so when this category came up, I said, perfect.
00:51:50I want to shine light on a beautiful animal.
00:51:53Well, from this day on, I will stop freebasing penguin.
00:51:58Thank you, RuPaul.
00:51:59Thank you, queens.
00:52:00I think we've heard enough.
00:52:02While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
00:52:07All right, kids, just between us squirrel friends, what do you think?
00:52:12Starting with Mandy Mango.
00:52:15She could have been so demure, she could have leaned into it more.
00:52:19I feel like she was one note.
00:52:20I think Mango has a very odd perspective that she hasn't been able to fully execute or apply
00:52:28to things outside of her own brain.
00:52:33It certainly did not work in the butter-churning storyline.
00:52:37Darlene Mitchell.
00:52:38Listen, she did it for me tonight.
00:52:41I don't want her to get stuck in that biker trash all the time,
00:52:44but it worked for her in that butter-churning.
00:52:47She was so funny in the sketch.
00:52:48The hooves, though not heels, were funny.
00:52:51So laughs all around for me.
00:52:54Briar blushed.
00:52:55As the inner saboteur to Athena, she missed it completely,
00:52:59like the boat came docked and left without her.
00:53:02No highs and lows.
00:53:03Did the same thing over and over.
00:53:04She could have had so much fun, and she did not deliver.
00:53:07And that one tone carried through to the cue in Ian.
00:53:10There's so many girls out there tonight that have such a distinguishable vibe,
00:53:14and I couldn't quite clock a vibe, if that makes sense.
00:53:18All right, let's talk about Vita Von Teese.
00:53:21With comedy, you're watching someone walk a very dangerous tightrope,
00:53:26and I could tell that she was a bit nervous and skittish.
00:53:30You could tell this is not a comfort zone for her,
00:53:32because I felt like she was just saying the words like this to say the words.
00:53:37She chopped it up too much because she didn't believe it.
00:53:41Jane, don't.
00:53:42She owned that whole character.
00:53:44She owned the scene.
00:53:45I was so impressed that she has so many dimensions and sides to herself.
00:53:49She looked insane.
00:53:50She looked like Mork from Ork meets Sharon Glass in Queers Folk,
00:53:53and I absolutely adored it.
00:53:56Juicy love Dion.
00:53:58She chose a pangolin.
00:53:59Not in a million years would anybody else in any season chose a pangolin,
00:54:03and she's painted beautifully.
00:54:05She was spectacular.
00:54:07I thought she was so great in the sketch,
00:54:09and she was clearly having fun with the people in the sketch with her.
00:54:12I was so lost in her character,
00:54:15and I love you, Michelle, but I love this lady even more.
00:54:19Me too!
00:54:20I see Jean getting her own sitcom spinoff.
00:54:24I really do.
00:54:25She's fantastic.
00:54:26Please cast me.
00:54:28All right.
00:54:29Silence.
00:54:30I've made my decision.
00:54:31Bring back my girls.
00:54:34Welcome back, queens.
00:54:36I've made some decisions.
00:54:40Darlene Mitchell, this week you churned it out.
00:54:45Jane, don't.
00:54:46This week you delivered loud and proud.
00:54:51Juicy love Dion.
00:54:52This week you were one boss bitch.
00:55:00Juicy love Dion.
00:55:03Conjagulations, you're the winner of the suits challenge.
00:55:08Thank you, guys.
00:55:09Thank you so, so much.
00:55:10O-M-G.
00:55:13You've earned a cash tip of $5,000.
00:55:17Work.
00:55:17Good job, babe.
00:55:18Did I just win a comedy challenge?
00:55:20I can't believe it.
00:55:22You know?
00:55:22So you're going to suck for Terry.
00:55:23I'll never stop saying it now.
00:55:29Mandy Mango.
00:55:31Your butter could have been better.
00:55:35Briar Blush.
00:55:37Your inner saboteur got the best of you.
00:55:41Vita Von Teese.
00:55:42Your butch was botched.
00:55:48Vita Von Teese.
00:55:51You're safe.
00:55:52Oh.
00:55:53Whoa.
00:55:56You may join the other girls.
00:55:59Mandy.
00:56:01Briar.
00:56:02I'm sorry, my dears.
00:56:04You are up for elimination.
00:56:07My heart is beating so hard and so fast.
00:56:11I know I slayed the lip sync last time.
00:56:14I know what I gotta do.
00:56:17Two queens stand before me.
00:56:19Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
00:56:30The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:56:43Regardless of how I feel about the challenge, my mission right now is just to win the lip sync.
00:56:48Good luck, good luck, and don't.
00:56:52Fuck it up.
00:56:54Wipe my eyes.
00:56:57Comb my hair.
00:57:00There's a lot of s*** out there.
00:57:02And I feel safer in my bathroom.
00:57:05Close the door.
00:57:07And ignore.
00:57:10All she really wants to know.
00:57:13Is if I'm really about to go downtown tonight.
00:57:18I might make an appearance since I won't be fine.
00:57:22Can't work out, Briar.
00:57:23Come on, Briar.
00:57:24Come on, Briar.
00:57:24Come on, Mandy.
00:57:26Tonight.
00:57:28Just can't look.
00:57:29Briar is fierce.
00:57:30She is fighting for her life.
00:57:32I'm into this.
00:57:33I'm into this.
00:57:35One, two, three, four.
00:57:36Hey.
00:57:37Ho.
00:57:38Hey, ho.
00:57:39Give me some little little chipmode.
00:57:41Come on, man.
00:57:42Hey, ho.
00:57:44Give me the knock and throw a back phone.
00:57:46Oh my God.
00:57:47You gotta be in the world by the end of the night.
00:57:49Baby, come on.
00:57:50Come on, baby.
00:57:51Woo.
00:57:53Come on, Briar.
00:57:54Come on.
00:57:54Careful.
00:57:55Come on, Briar.
00:57:56Well, Mandy is definitely bucking and chucking.
00:58:00At least she's not wearing a table, honey.
00:58:03Tonight.
00:58:04I'm making an appearance.
00:58:07Give me something to help me fix my life.
00:58:11One, two, three, four.
00:58:12Hey.
00:58:14Work.
00:58:14Hey, ho.
00:58:15Give me some little little chipmode.
00:58:17By the end of the world, by the end of the night.
00:58:20Boom.
00:58:21I hit the deer.
00:58:22Oh, no.
00:58:24You just have to keep pedaling, bitch.
00:58:26Give me that.
00:58:26I need to get out of bed.
00:58:28I need to love in real life.
00:58:29Give me, give me that.
00:58:31Give me, give me that.
00:58:32By the end of the world, by the end of the night.
00:58:34Baby, come on, Briar.
00:58:37Woo.
00:58:39Wow.
00:58:43Queens, I've made my decision.
00:58:51Briar Blush.
00:58:53Shantae, you stay.
00:58:56You may join the other girls.
00:58:58I want to make you proud.
00:59:01Mandy Mango, you are one sweet fruit.
00:59:06Don't ever change.
00:59:08Now, sashay away.
00:59:11Thank you very much.
00:59:13It was an honor to be here.
00:59:15Yes, Mandy.
00:59:17Love you, Mandy.
00:59:18Mangoes can be eaten.
00:59:20Mangoes can be slurped.
00:59:23Cheers to all the lovers who make our mangoes first.
00:59:32I'm really sad.
00:59:33I'm really disappointed.
00:59:34But I hope I represented for my Filipinas, my Filipinos, my Filipinxs.
00:59:39To the people back home, I'm so, so grateful to have you in my life.
00:59:44And I'm so grateful to Rue and my season 18 sisters for showing that being queer is such a superpower.
00:59:55Condragulations, queens.
00:59:56And remember, if you can't love yourself out there, hell, you're going to love somebody else.
00:59:59Can I get an amen up in here?
01:00:01Amen.
01:00:01All right, now let the music play.
01:00:15Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race, you and your bestie will design show-stopping looks inspired by a mashup of
01:00:23two red carpet moments.
01:00:25I just fucking made the biggest mistake ever.
01:00:29Oh, I'm fucked.
01:00:31I love this drag.
01:00:33You look like a WWE wrestler.
01:00:35I'm not trying to have malice with you, girl.
01:00:37Okay, and listen, little girl, moving forward, we don't fuck with each other like that.
01:00:41Ooh!
01:00:43Bitch, that's when the diarrhea started.
01:01:09You're not like other bitches.
01:01:12And she'll be something different.
