00:00:00MTV.
00:00:03Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race,
00:00:05you'll be starring in RDR Live.
00:00:07I would like to be the inner saboteur.
00:00:09No, no, no, no, no.
00:00:10Briar wants to be my scene partner.
00:00:13Bitch, I'm trying to get as far away from you as I can.
00:00:16First, we start with role-playing and boppers.
00:00:19You and green guys.
00:00:22LA 2028 Olympics, including flag football, squash.
00:00:28Mandy Mango.
00:00:29You needed to give us demure fundamentalists.
00:00:32Briar Blush.
00:00:34More.
00:00:35You're a drag queen.
00:00:36Give me more.
00:00:38Juicy Love Dion.
00:00:39You had physical choices.
00:00:41You had, like, subtle choices.
00:00:42It was awesome.
00:00:44Congratulations.
00:00:45You're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:00:48Briar Blush.
00:00:50Shantae Youste.
00:00:51Mandy Mango.
00:00:53Sashay away.
00:01:02Well, shit.
00:01:04We're back in the work room and Mandy Mango has just been eliminated and I am heartbroken.
00:01:10I love her so much and I don't think that decision was correct.
00:01:15She just is a better dancer and better performer than Briar in my opinion.
00:01:19How do you feel about that lip sync?
00:01:22It is survival of the fittest and I really, really wanted to stay.
00:01:26I couldn't imagine myself going home right now.
00:01:29One bad night doesn't mean anything for what a performer has.
00:01:33Exactly.
00:01:34Thank you, Darkwing Duck.
00:01:35Right.
00:01:36You know, as graciously as I accepted those critiques, I'm a little surprised.
00:01:40I feel like what I gave was good and there were probably more forgettable people that weren't
00:01:45in the bottom.
00:01:47Congrats, Juicy!
00:01:50Thank you guys so much and thank you to all of you, like, for calming me down and helping
00:01:55me out through this challenge.
00:01:56Like, I'm a product of my sisters and I just have to say a big thank you to Mikey for
00:02:00being
00:02:00such a great scene partner.
00:02:01It's my honor.
00:02:02You owe me a thousand dollars then.
00:02:05So guys, another elimination complete.
00:02:08I know we've got a lot of feelings going on in the room right now.
00:02:11I just want to talk about what happened as we were getting ready.
00:02:14I do realize that I crossed some boundaries that I wasn't aware of.
00:02:19So we were all talking about our relationships and I asked Briar if she's single.
00:02:24Well, I was in a very happy relationship for a couple years and then things didn't end
00:02:29that well.
00:02:29Whose fault was it?
00:02:30Was it yours?
00:02:31I'm assuming.
00:02:34You hate me?
00:02:36She's not just talking to me.
00:02:40I guess I offended her and then immediately I apologized.
00:02:44She didn't accept my apology.
00:02:46I think with you, I don't know where that boundary is because you play so much.
00:02:50I think I was trying to cue you that this was not the moment that I wanted to have that
00:02:54conversation.
00:02:55And let me finish.
00:02:57Okay, girl.
00:02:58Don't keep it real cute because listen, I've been real crying all season so far and we're
00:03:02not going to do that.
00:03:03So go ahead.
00:03:04I didn't want that conversation.
00:03:06I didn't feel comfortable having it.
00:03:07Didn't you do the same thing to Athena when she did not want you to touch her off camera?
00:03:13So I didn't want to get into this, but Briar was saying all sorts of nasty things to me off
00:03:17the clock.
00:03:18She was making fun of me being in a bad mood, making fun of me being sad.
00:03:21She was giggling and whispering to Juicy right in front of me.
00:03:24She even came up to me and said, the funniest part about all of this is that Juicy doesn't even
00:03:29stick up for you when I take you down.
00:03:31So why is it okay for you to do it?
00:03:33And when somebody that unintentionally does it, it's an issue.
00:03:37What's good for the goose, excuse the expression, is good for the gander, you know.
00:03:42There have been many times that people have cued you to stop and it's just a little too far and
00:03:46you just love to take it there.
00:03:48Briar's in the wrong because she expects other people to respect her boundaries, but she doesn't respect anybody else's boundaries
00:03:53in the workroom.
00:03:54Privately, I did ask Briar to just tone it down a little bit.
00:03:58But at the moment, you have to stand and put everybody.
00:04:00We've got Nicki Minaj the poodle, we've got Liberace the owl, a naked black swan, all in an argument.
00:04:05That scene in Mean Girls where they're all fighting and the animal scenes are playing.
00:04:10We're living it right now.
00:04:12Today, like you staying here, personally, I wanted Mandy to stay. I thought she did better.
00:04:20No love lost, but moving forward, we don't fuck with each other like that.
00:04:24I'm not trying to have malice with you, girl.
00:04:26Okay, and listen, little girl, we have a boundary moving forward and that's it.
00:04:31Well, period. I do forgive you.
00:04:34Because the cameras are on is when you forgive me.
00:04:37At that point, I think I'm ready to, um, undrag.
00:04:40Yeah, Mia just reached for her earring, so I feel like we need to get out of drag before anything
00:04:45goes any further.
00:04:47We all have arguments from time to time, but never in my life have I ever had two girls on
00:04:53both sides jump at me like that.
00:04:54Take it how you want to, but don't do that fake shit when the cameras are rolling. I don't fucking,
00:04:59I don't play like that.
00:05:00I just want to reiterate the fact that you're my best friend.
00:05:03I know, but what I was told was your daughter doesn't even stick up for you when I make fun
00:05:07of you, and that's the funniest part about it, and that felt like shit.
00:05:09I didn't want to be caught in between a new relationship and my best friend in the fucking world.
00:05:14It just was something that was like a dagger in my heart for somebody to say to me because I
00:05:17have a really close relationship with her.
00:05:18At this point, it's not even about me and you. It's about defending her. I don't want her to feel
00:05:22like she didn't-
00:05:23You don't, don't, you're not defending shit. I know my relationship with her. Don't spin it around like I'm defending
00:05:28her right now.
00:05:29What is happening?
00:05:31Who the fuck are you defending Juicy from? From me? I don't have beef with Juicy. I have beef with
00:05:36you.
00:05:36Because what you're doing right now is running around and dropping little matches and you're setting this up into smoke.
00:05:41There's no defending Juicy because no one's attacking Juicy.
00:05:44Now you can do whatever you want to me and I'll take it, but now you're dragging in my drag
00:05:48family.
00:05:49Now it's personal bitch. You just crossed a line that you will not cross ever again.
00:05:59The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics.
00:06:06And a cash prize of $200,000. Courtesy of RuPaul's Drag Race Match Queen.
00:06:13With extra special guest judge, Anna Lee Ashford.
00:06:16RuPaul's Drag Race. Say the best drag queen win.
00:06:19Best drag queen win.
00:06:24Good morning, workroom.
00:06:26Good morning.
00:06:27It is a new day in the workroom and last week there was a little bit of drama between Briar,
00:06:34Athena, and myself.
00:06:35However, I'm choosing, bitch. Let's move forward.
00:06:38And just focus on what needs to be done.
00:06:41How is everybody feeling about how the competition is shaping up?
00:06:45I definitely find solace in being safe right now.
00:06:48But I'm ready for my talk. I'm ready for a nice, good, rough, nasty talk, bitch.
00:06:54Kenya, Jesus can hear you.
00:06:59Oh, girl.
00:07:01She's not ready to have her.
00:07:05Here we go.
00:07:06Room rule number 21.
00:07:09If you lend a friend your lace front, you'll lose both your friend and your lace front.
00:07:19Hello, hello, hello.
00:07:22This is starting to become a thing.
00:07:25Oh, yes.
00:07:27How's my dirty dozen doing this morning?
00:07:30Oh, my goodness.
00:07:31Now that you've had a chance to get to know each other,
00:07:33I want you to pair up with the queen you consider your bestie.
00:07:40Don't think about it. Do it.
00:07:42Like, who is my bestie, bitch? I just met all you hoes.
00:07:45I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
00:07:48Okay.
00:07:48I know that Kenya is a good-time gal. She has great energy.
00:07:51So whatever we are in store for, I know we can succeed here.
00:07:55I was already right there.
00:07:56I go to grab Juicy. And who do I see?
00:07:58Sorry.
00:07:59Briar?
00:08:01Briar just cannot get away from my child.
00:08:04Like, let's leave. Like, let her breathe.
00:08:06So that means Juicy is with Briar.
00:08:09Discord is with Jane.
00:08:11Mikey is with NeNe.
00:08:13Sierra is with Kenya Pleaser.
00:08:15Mia Star is with Vida.
00:08:16And Darlene is with Athena.
00:08:19Queens, when it comes to fashion,
00:08:22the red carpet isn't just a runway.
00:08:25It's a battlefield.
00:08:27Ooh.
00:08:28For this week's maxi challenge,
00:08:29you and your bestie will design original show-stopping looks
00:08:34inspired by a mashup of two different legendary red carpet moments.
00:08:41Oh, wow.
00:08:43I love you.
00:08:44I love you.
00:08:44The fact that I am Vida's partner, I feel really good and confident.
00:08:49The last design challenge, she was in the top two.
00:08:52She's an incredible seamstress.
00:08:54Now, tomorrow on the runway, we'll decide which bestie wore it best.
00:09:01Bitch!
00:09:01That's when the diarrhea started.
00:09:07Now it's time to play red carpet mashups.
00:09:11Oh, pit crew!
00:09:13Oh!
00:09:15Oh!
00:09:17All right, Juicy love Dion, since you won last week's maxi challenge,
00:09:21you and your bestie get to choose your two fashion muses first.
00:09:27Pick a number.
00:09:33I think I want to go with lucky number eight.
00:09:37Oh!
00:09:38Oh, my God.
00:09:39All right, so Juicy, your first muse is Lil Nas X at the 2020 Grammys.
00:09:44Okay, Briar, pick a number.
00:09:47Number six.
00:09:49Yeah!
00:09:52Tiana of the 2015 Met Gala.
00:09:55Discord, pick a number.
00:09:56Seven.
00:09:58Oh, close.
00:09:59Yes!
00:10:01Yay!
00:10:03Oh!
00:10:05Cher at the 1986 Oscars.
00:10:10I love that walk you did.
00:10:12Yes!
00:10:13Oh, my God!
00:10:16Jane Doe, it is your turn.
00:10:18I'm gonna go with 11.
00:10:20Oh!
00:10:21Sarah Paulson at the Ocean's 8 premiere.
00:10:25That's a nice combination, isn't it?
00:10:27It is a nice combination.
00:10:28Mikey with a Y.
00:10:29I'll pick two.
00:10:31Oh!
00:10:33J-Lo wearing Versace at the 2000 Grammys.
00:10:37NeNe.
00:10:38I'm feeling tens, tens, tens across the board.
00:10:42Oh!
00:10:44Nicki Minaj at the 2011 Grammys.
00:10:49Oh, shit.
00:10:49All right, Sierra, pick a number.
00:10:51I think I need a nice big high five.
00:10:53That's it.
00:10:55Oh!
00:10:55Oh!
00:10:57Lady Gaga at the 2010 VMAs.
00:11:00All right, Kenya.
00:11:01I think I'm gonna go with number nine.
00:11:03It's a safe option.
00:11:04Did you hear that, Theodore?
00:11:05Point to the nine.
00:11:07Oh!
00:11:10Okay!
00:11:11Oh!
00:11:13Britney and Justin at the 2001 AMAs.
00:11:17Mia Star.
00:11:19Four.
00:11:21Oh!
00:11:22Katy Perry at the 2019 Met Gala.
00:11:26Vijay, it's your turn.
00:11:28Twelve.
00:11:30Oh!
00:11:31Little Kim at the 1999 VMAs.
00:11:36Darlene Mitchell.
00:11:37Three is calling to me.
00:11:41Oh!
00:11:43Who shot the couch?
00:11:46Kim Kardashian at the 2013 Met Gala.
00:11:51And it looks like she is with child.
00:11:53All right, so Athena, you're the last to pick.
00:11:56I think I'm just gonna go for number one.
00:11:59Oh!
00:12:02Zendaya at the Dune 2 premiere.
00:12:06So I have to mash up metal and florals for spring.
00:12:13Groundbreaking.
00:12:14Now for your final frocks, you need to incorporate materials from both red carpet inspiration.
00:12:22If you're looking for an example of how to sew, don't look at me.
00:12:25I am trial by fire.
00:12:27And now I'm directly going against the girl who won the first design challenge.
00:12:32The pressure is on.
00:12:33Racers, start your engines.
00:12:35And may the best drag queen win.
00:12:38Oh!
00:12:43Oh, wow.
00:12:45Sickening.
00:12:47This week's maxi challenge is another design challenge.
00:12:49It is red carpet mashups.
00:12:51Is this real meat?
00:12:53I do feel like there's pressure on me to do well in this challenge, especially because some people didn't think
00:12:57I even deserved the first win.
00:12:59So I've really got to prove to these girls that you should not underestimate what I can do when it
00:13:06comes to a sewing machine.
00:13:07Green! Everything's green!
00:13:08We are given materials that correspond to our red carpet inspiration looks.
00:13:15This challenge has a lot of levels to it.
00:13:18We are being asked to sort of mash up two red carpet looks.
00:13:23But the idea is not to recreate the looks.
00:13:26The idea is to reinterpret them in a signature drag look.
00:13:30Look at this.
00:13:32Put your fabrics out.
00:13:34Yeah.
00:13:34Darlene's been somebody that I've connected to the most from the Q-pop group and from just the competition in
00:13:40general.
00:13:40And, you know, coming into this competition with Juicy, I don't think either of us wanted to be cuffed to
00:13:47the other.
00:13:47But I'm interested to see as close as Briar is trying to get to Juicy if she's going to be
00:13:53a sister and help out or back up because it's a competition now between you and your bestie.
00:14:00It's interesting.
00:14:02I mean, these together, I mean, that is just...
00:14:06God.
00:14:07So good.
00:14:09A little obnoxious.
00:14:10We have to mash up the two red carpet looks we got.
00:14:13I got J-Lo's Versace dress.
00:14:16NeNe gets Nicki Minaj at the VMAs.
00:14:18So we have tropical greens and blues and we have golden brown leopard print.
00:14:26Where the hell do we go with this?
00:14:28We're gonna be finding a new side of ourselves today with this lovely...
00:14:34I just love it.
00:14:35Love it, love it, love it.
00:14:36Love this so much.
00:14:38Ooh, Sierra.
00:14:39Look, Simba has so many great fragrances.
00:14:41I might wear this with my red carpet look tomorrow.
00:14:44Mmm.
00:14:45Ooh, that smells so good.
00:14:47Obviously, I want to use some of these, but I don't want to use as much of them because I
00:14:50don't want to mimic what I did in the first runway challenge.
00:14:53I mean, I do think that you have done a lot of black.
00:14:55Yes.
00:14:55I'm excited that we got this color combination.
00:14:58I am a little irritated to be paired with you only because...
00:15:01Why?
00:15:03Because we can both sew.
00:15:04Because we can both do things.
00:15:05Yeah.
00:15:06I'm sweating a little bit here.
00:15:08Maybe four other people will go in front of me and look worse and I can bank on that.
00:15:12I literally have to stand next to whatever she makes and be judged against it.
00:15:16Kenya, how do you feel about this meat fabric?
00:15:18Oh, it's God awful.
00:15:20It's non-stretch.
00:15:21It's...
00:15:22It's non-stretch?
00:15:23Girl.
00:15:24You know what?
00:15:24This is why you can't be less than after men in front of God and everybody else.
00:15:28God really struck down with this one.
00:15:30But it feels like we have to use it, right?
00:15:33Yeah.
00:15:33Like the Gaga dress is made of meat.
00:15:35Totally.
00:15:35I mean, Sierra, I...
00:15:36The meat dress lives in your world very obviously to me.
00:15:40Kenya, you don't strike me as the type of girl who's walking around South Carolina dressed
00:15:43in meat.
00:15:44No, no.
00:15:45The dogs and crows might get me, girl.
00:15:47Could y'all imagine that smell when I start sweating?
00:15:49Swamp ass 2.0.
00:15:51No.
00:15:52I'm not putting meat on me, but I know I have to be the fiercest, fiercest diva that will drag
00:15:57that has never drugged so hard before.
00:16:00Well, you know how to sell when it's fabric.
00:16:01Yes.
00:16:02Which I'm very excited that we don't have trash.
00:16:06Well...
00:16:06Oh, Jane, definitely not.
00:16:08I don't know.
00:16:09We're both stars.
00:16:10We're both stars.
00:16:11So we're gonna shine.
00:16:12We're gonna do that.
00:16:14Our materials look like it came out of the same box.
00:16:16They're both sequin.
00:16:18You have your purples.
00:16:19You have your whites.
00:16:20You have the jewels.
00:16:21But what the fuck am I gonna do with this chandelier?
00:16:24What would Joella do?
00:16:26What?
00:16:27Just what the fuck am I supposed to do with this?
00:16:29I do wanna do a whore elegant kind of gown.
00:16:35Mia, you're a whore.
00:16:39How do you become a whore?
00:16:41I'm just gonna draw some tits.
00:16:43I thought it was a pair of eyes.
00:16:45It's actually Athena's owl costume.
00:16:48Yeah, it looks like the little googly eyes.
00:16:50That's how I'm feeling right now.
00:16:52Maybe I'm just drawing my feelings.
00:16:55Get away from me.
00:16:57How you feeling?
00:16:58I feel great.
00:17:00Do you have any ideas?
00:17:02I shouldn't tell you this.
00:17:04The nice thing about this mesh, I've worked with this kind of thing before, is you can just cut this
00:17:10and turn this into trim.
00:17:12Yes, I love that.
00:17:13No, no, no, no, no.
00:17:15What?
00:17:15Not too much.
00:17:16Why?
00:17:17That's what I wanna do.
00:17:19Oh.
00:17:19Oh.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:21Never mind, bye.
00:17:22With this?
00:17:23Bitch, you holding out on me, ho?
00:17:24No!
00:17:24I had to flip my page when she came over here.
00:17:27I'm known for so-and-so.
00:17:29The pressure is so high.
00:17:31And Jane, she's strategic.
00:17:33So I'm trying to hold my cards close to my chest.
00:17:36What has put Beto on the map is that I replicate celebrity looks.
00:17:40So I've done exact replicas.
00:17:43Janelle Monae, her look from the Met Gala, Beyonce, Coachella, and sometimes even better than the celebrity itself.
00:17:51So my eye, especially for going for baby shower, immediately went to this.
00:17:56So I think I wanna do my tube dress out of this.
00:18:00So you're going to baby shower.
00:18:01I'm doing baby shower.
00:18:02I'm going to a galactic garden party.
00:18:03You're going to space, honey.
00:18:04I love grandma's couch floral.
00:18:07I know that I can make something sick out of this.
00:18:09And after seeing what Athena made in the first design challenge, I think I've got this in the bag.
00:18:15Good luck.
00:18:16Don't fuck it up.
00:18:17I love my Darlene, but you can't outgown me.
00:18:24How are you feeling about this challenge?
00:18:26You know, it was a hard day yesterday.
00:18:28Untucked was hard.
00:18:29The critiques were hard.
00:18:31Lip syncing was hard.
00:18:32Yeah, baby.
00:18:34And it can be hard to believe in yourself a little bit.
00:18:38And, you know, after getting back, it was really, you know, the big argument.
00:18:46I felt so bad about myself.
00:18:48I was hoping to get back here after lip sync and feel, you know, glad to be back and glad
00:18:54to stay in it.
00:18:55But it's hard to feel good about yourself after all of that.
00:19:00And then on top of it, like somebody looking at you and telling you, like, oh, I wish, I think
00:19:04the other bitch did better.
00:19:05I think she, I wish she stayed.
00:19:06It just kept coming and coming and coming.
00:19:11I think the competition might be getting to Briar a little bit.
00:19:14Now that I know my girl, I don't think she's abrasive.
00:19:17You are a fucking superstar.
00:19:20I'm just nervous for my friend.
00:19:22This is a high stress, high stakes environment.
00:19:25And we gotta fight every single challenge to survive.
00:19:32This week's challenge, we have to mash up two iconic red carpet looks.
00:19:37My look has to be a mash up of the Brittany and Justin denim suits
00:19:40with the insanely grotesque meat dress that Lady Gaga wore to the VMAs.
00:19:46What the fuck?
00:19:47So this is denim.
00:19:49This is red vinyl.
00:19:51This is red vinyl, red vinyl, red vinyl.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:53It is very Spider-Man.
00:19:57Which, I love Spider-Man.
00:19:59Spider-Man is my favorite superhero.
00:20:01Yeah.
00:20:03I get a glass that Sierra's on and she's literally being vented that goal,
00:20:06creating art on her body.
00:20:09This bitch should not come to play at all.
00:20:11And I have to be compared to that.
00:20:16What do you think is in trouble?
00:20:19She gonna tell me, like, girl, I think Briar is in hurry.
00:20:23Because I felt that sweet?
00:20:24Mm-hmm.
00:20:24Why?
00:20:25Because I saw her crying.
00:20:27But I don't know why.
00:20:28No.
00:20:29I really don't pay attention to Briar at this point anymore.
00:20:32She's up against my little niece and I need Juicy to beat her.
00:20:36How do y'all feel about y'all gonna be compared?
00:20:39I mean, bitch, I know she gonna dog walk my ass.
00:20:43I am not delusional.
00:20:45I have accepted that.
00:20:46Each group has a person that, you know...
00:20:48Well, not discord and...
00:20:50Oh, bitch.
00:20:51That's gonna be tough.
00:20:51That is...
00:20:52And I know somebody's gonna be c-c-crack, bitch.
00:20:56I think it'll all come down to the mashup between those two.
00:20:59Discord's look is looking very like the picture.
00:21:02So how are you gonna incorporate the green?
00:21:06I don't know, bitch.
00:21:07I'm worried about hottie.
00:21:08Because Sierra is, like, sick.
00:21:10No, bitch.
00:21:11She's about to dog walk your ass, too.
00:21:13First of all, bitch.
00:21:14Sorry.
00:21:17Look, we're gonna keep me free over here.
00:21:19It could be an awkward turn of a vent and I can pull the bump.
00:21:24You made.
00:21:24You just made.
00:21:25We gonna go with that, bitch.
00:21:26We gonna go with that.
00:21:27America, I'm fighting for my life to be the best bottom.
00:21:31Wait a minute.
00:21:31This actually look...
00:21:32This actually look like I know what I'm doing.
00:21:35Uh-uh, mamma mia.
00:21:36Oh, girl, she got a sleeve, bitch.
00:21:38We are going tit for tits in this design challenge.
00:21:42And, y'all, I have big titties.
00:21:49Briar and Juicy have a lot left to do.
00:21:51And they're acting like they don't.
00:21:54I don't know where Briar went.
00:21:55Hi, you guys.
00:21:56I see you guys looking over here a lot.
00:21:58You're just looking to see what you're up to.
00:22:01I need a little advice.
00:22:03I'm gonna have to make a train.
00:22:05A circle train.
00:22:06You started the train?
00:22:07No, I'm gonna start it off.
00:22:09I know.
00:22:10I know.
00:22:11Hey, I believe in you.
00:22:13The last design challenge was not too good for me.
00:22:16So, my biggest concern is that Briar's gonna eat me up.
00:22:19Okay, you do look really cute.
00:22:21Yeah?
00:22:22I mean, it's...
00:22:22I think...
00:22:23Well, look, this color combo is just...
00:22:24It's cute.
00:22:26You have a lot to do.
00:22:27Yeah.
00:22:27I'm gonna work on the train.
00:22:28How do I do this fucking train, fam?
00:22:33If you need...
00:22:36I will help you if you want.
00:22:38Thank you, sister.
00:22:40Thus far in the competition, I have helped Juicy quite a bit.
00:22:43And I don't mind helping her, but I think sometimes Juicy doesn't go for it because she knows that no
00:22:48matter what she does, somebody will kind of be there to pick her back up again and sort of dust
00:22:53her off.
00:22:54And I just don't know how long that strategy can work before we run out of people in the room
00:23:00who are gonna help you.
00:23:06Oh, shit.
00:23:08What?
00:23:10What?
00:23:10I put the triangle on the side seam, not the back seam.
00:23:15I sewed it on the wrong seam.
00:23:18Let me see.
00:23:21What am I gonna do?
00:23:23What am I gonna do?
00:23:25I just fucking made the biggest mistake ever.
00:23:29Losing my mind.
00:23:31What is Athena talking about?
00:23:33Shit knows, girl.
00:23:34Alright, girl. Start over again.
00:23:36Athena is running around like a goddamn Tasmanian devil.
00:23:40I'm like, oh, girl. She done made 15 dresses.
00:23:43Oh, I'm fucked.
00:23:46That just took like an hour or two.
00:23:49Just take a breath and trust your talent.
00:23:54Darlene, can you beat her ass?
00:23:55I have to figure the fuck out what am I gonna do.
00:23:58I'm gonna work on this garment all night if I have to, but it has to work.
00:24:03I don't have time to spiral.
00:24:05Go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:24:09Here we go.
00:24:11Here we go.
00:24:12Yay.
00:24:13It is runway day.
00:24:15We have to showcase our red carpet mash of books.
00:24:18Going up against Nini has me a little nervous, but I feel like I created something a little bit more
00:24:24extravagant.
00:24:25I love what I made.
00:24:26We get straight to it.
00:24:27Everyone is running around like chickens with their heads cut off because the stakes are so high today.
00:24:32It is now a 1v1 knockout competition to see who wore it best.
00:24:37Everything I worked on, I scrapped. I just went the longest way to go back to my original idea.
00:24:41I've been up all night making a brand new dress.
00:24:46Why do I do this to myself?
00:24:48I love to be a woman in crisis.
00:24:50Yours is sickening.
00:24:51I do know I love it. I do love it.
00:24:53I have created this Bob Mackie masterpiece.
00:24:56Here's my redemption for the first design challenge where I was wrongfully safe.
00:25:01You and Discord, both of you turned it out.
00:25:03I know I hate it.
00:25:05I feel great about where my outfit ended up.
00:25:08So it's just going to come down to which look the judges prefer.
00:25:13It's anybody's call.
00:25:16Where's Ciara?
00:25:18She moved.
00:25:19She said, I'm over you stupid fighting assholes.
00:25:24Me and Mia are getting ready next to each other.
00:25:27And I don't want any bad blood with her.
00:25:29I'm going to be painting next to her for a long time.
00:25:31And so I want to just squabble it all now.
00:25:35We had a kind of explosive argument.
00:25:37Yeah.
00:25:38But I don't come back from an argument like, fuck that bitch.
00:25:42I've just felt like throughout the whole day last week, like I was doing something wrong.
00:25:48You know what I mean? Like I was like, damn.
00:25:50I just, I think the emotions kind of got to me.
00:25:53It doesn't feel good that like somebody I like went home.
00:25:57And it doesn't feel good that people think that she should have stayed.
00:25:59I understand where you coming from on that sense.
00:26:02Like if I'm honest, it's like for a long time, I didn't feel supported by my family.
00:26:08I did not have a good relationship with them.
00:26:11Growing up, I felt very much othered by my family in a lot of ways.
00:26:16My dad said things to me like that I was a screw up.
00:26:19And as a teenager, I definitely felt like there was nothing that I could do correct.
00:26:23I kind of ended up leaving home when I was 16.
00:26:28Damn.
00:26:29So, you know, I deal with that sometimes, the feeling of being like a little unlovable.
00:26:34But people don't understand that because you have all of the confidence in the world on the exterior.
00:26:40I do project a lot of confidence and it's because I felt like I had to.
00:26:44And it's really hard to sometimes feel like people are rooting for you when people, it didn't feel like people
00:26:52were rooting for you even as a child.
00:26:54I mean, I get that.
00:26:56I do want to apologize.
00:26:58Yes, I did say that.
00:26:59You know what I mean?
00:27:00But overall, like you deserve to be here because you're, you're very special.
00:27:06I'm understanding her a lot more now.
00:27:08She's opening up and I do have a soft spot in my heart for people that have this huge like
00:27:15confidence and like I'm the tiger in the room.
00:27:19But in real life, like you are this like little stray cat.
00:27:22I understand that my brother passed away in 2020 and we didn't have the best relationship because he just, I
00:27:32just felt like he just chose the wrong path.
00:27:35I lost my brother to drug addiction and it hit our family very, very hard.
00:27:43I was so upset with him because I knew that once he got out of jail again, like I told
00:27:50my mom, I was like, this is it.
00:27:52He's not, there's no more chances left.
00:27:54I just felt it.
00:27:55So I pulled away.
00:27:56I have a lot of regret not talking to him like that last year.
00:28:02And then he passed away and I was just like, fuck.
00:28:07I wish, I wish I showed him love more.
00:28:13Sorry.
00:28:14I wish I showed him love more, um, rather than pulling away.
00:28:23It does affect you like in a lot of ways to live with like that much regret.
00:28:27You have to figure yourself to move forward.
00:28:29I know he knows that I loved him, which is why I was so upset.
00:28:33I was in a dark time and I re-found drag and it brought me so much joy.
00:28:42And I just knew that this is what I was supposed to be doing.
00:28:45I kept on my brother's jeans, um, when he did pass.
00:28:48And I created a beautiful dress with just a part of him walking through those doors.
00:28:55So if I have a little snapping turtle in me.
00:28:59When you all have an inner rage, inside of us there's two wolves.
00:29:01Girl.
00:29:05Miss Kenya.
00:29:06Yes, ma'am.
00:29:07How was your life growing up as little Kenya?
00:29:10Girl, being born was a struggle.
00:29:13My mom didn't know she was pregnant with me.
00:29:15Oh my God.
00:29:17So she was in college and one night she got up in the middle of the night and she was
00:29:22having pains in her stomach.
00:29:23So she went to try to use the bathroom and she felt something down there, girl.
00:29:28She said, bitch, I thought it was an alien.
00:29:29Oh my God.
00:29:32My mom had me on the bathroom floor of her college dorm.
00:29:37Her roommate called 911 girl, but by the time the EMS came there, she already had me.
00:29:44That is crazy.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:46Since my mom had me in college, my grandparents thought it was the best idea that she continued college and
00:29:52I was to live with them.
00:29:53Are you close with your birth mom?
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:56So of course that made like a strain on our relationship because I wasn't raised.
00:30:00She wasn't ready to have you.
00:30:01Yeah.
00:30:02Funny enough, me coming out was what made us closer.
00:30:06Oh.
00:30:07Bitch, I was at gospel choir rehearsal in college and we were practicing the song, You Got a Friend in
00:30:12Me.
00:30:12And I literally burst into tears and I was like, I ain't got to leave.
00:30:16I went into the bathroom, started crying, I looked in the mirror and was like, it's time.
00:30:19So I called my mom and I was like, Ma, I'm gay.
00:30:22And she was like, you won't be the first and you won't be the last.
00:30:25Aw.
00:30:26Her being so supportive has meant the world to me because I don't share that part of my life with
00:30:33my grandparents.
00:30:34But y'all guess what?
00:30:36The entire choir came out of the chorus room and started singing, You Got a Friend in Me.
00:30:42And one by one, they started hugging me.
00:30:46Aw.
00:30:47I don't think she realized how much she has helped me be as strong as I have been.
00:30:55And also I want to make her proud.
00:31:00It's because I lost so many years with my mom and drag has really brought us together.
00:31:08You have a friend in me as well, sister.
00:31:10Vita, stop.
00:31:10I will literally spontaneously come up right now.
00:31:13Oh, thank y'all.
00:31:14Oh, my goodness.
00:31:16Woo!
00:31:40Yes, ma'am.
00:31:42That dress is money.
00:31:44Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:31:47She's no stranger to the red carpet.
00:31:50It's Michelle Visage.
00:31:52What did the red carpet say to the vacuum cleaner?
00:31:55I don't know.
00:31:55What did the red carpet say to the vacuum cleaner?
00:31:57You suck.
00:32:00And so do you, Michelle.
00:32:02Don't tell anybody.
00:32:04It's the real queen of the red carpet, La Roche.
00:32:09Rule if these bitches don't get it right, it's off with their hands.
00:32:13She bring it to you six times a week and twice on Sunday.
00:32:17It's Tony winner, Anna Lee Ashford.
00:32:21Thank you so much for having me.
00:32:23It's such an honor.
00:32:24I just had a brand new baby.
00:32:26And while I was breastfeeding, we watched every single season of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:32:31Oh, that's lovely.
00:32:33Did you ever find out who the father is?
00:32:35Still working on it.
00:32:38This week we challenged our queens to create original looks inspired by legendary celebrity fashions.
00:32:46And tonight on the runway, category is red carpet mashups.
00:32:52Racers, start your engines.
00:32:54And may the best drag queen win.
00:33:02Category is red carpet mashups.
00:33:06Inspired by Lil Nas X and Rihanna.
00:33:10Up first, it's Juicy Love Dion.
00:33:13Lil Pink Riding Hood.
00:33:15I'm giving a little Grace Jones.
00:33:17I pulled down my hood to show off my gorgeous little finger waves waving to the judges.
00:33:23I made this look pink and I gave it shoulder pads, like Lil Nas X's look.
00:33:28But I wanted the bottom half to have that giant train like Rihanna.
00:33:32And, you know, I'm feeling pussy. I'm feeling cut.
00:33:34Grace Jones for the Powerpuff Girls.
00:33:38Next, Briar Blush.
00:33:41From Planet of the Capes.
00:33:45I'm pumping down the runway, giving Mayan Warrior, using the applique as flame motifs, often depicted in Mayan fashion.
00:33:53I decided to take inspo from Lil Nas X's leather jacket and Rihanna for the hair.
00:33:57I feel absolutely gorgeous.
00:33:59But the question is, what's she gonna do with all that ass?
00:34:05Applique Kay.
00:34:06Applique Kay.
00:34:08Inspired by Cher and Sarah Paulson.
00:34:11First, it's Discord Adams.
00:34:13Not proud of her.
00:34:16This look is hand-stitched couture.
00:34:19It is Bob Mackie.
00:34:21It is showing off my body.
00:34:23It is showing off my tattoos.
00:34:24It is shimmering from head to toe.
00:34:27I feel like a fierce fashion supermodel.
00:34:32You better smacky that Mackie.
00:34:37Up next, Jane Don't.
00:34:39She don't speak hard.
00:34:41She speaks easy.
00:34:43I am wiggling down the runway in this Airtay creation, but like on LSD.
00:34:52I was really thinking about how to combine the synthetic quality of the Sarah Paulson look
00:34:57and the sensuousness of that Cher Bob Mackie costume.
00:35:01And I think there's a real point of view here.
00:35:03This is from the Pacoima production of Maine.
00:35:08Take a bite out of my lime crime.
00:35:10Yes.
00:35:12Inspired by J. Lo and Nicki Minaj.
00:35:15First, it's Mikey Meeks.
00:35:17Jenny from the jungle.
00:35:19I love a good old Hollywood aesthetic.
00:35:23I have the tropical essence of Jennifer Lopez with the leopard print from Nicki.
00:35:28Made a crown with an updo.
00:35:30Applique is going all down the body because I want a little bit of regalness, too.
00:35:36Because these are the queens, honey.
00:35:38Oh, you've got to climb Mount Everest to reach the Valley of the Dolls.
00:35:44Next, Nene Coco.
00:35:47Oh, you don't want to fuck with this bitch.
00:35:49Uh-uh.
00:35:49Nene Coco.
00:35:52This is Nene on vacation.
00:35:54She's headed to the resort, giving you the entire bad bitch story.
00:35:58You can obviously clock the references from the head-to-toe leopard print from the Nicki look.
00:36:03And the plunging neckline from the J. Lo look.
00:36:05But this look stands alone as a unique piece of art.
00:36:09This bitch is high on catnip.
00:36:12You can see her catnip.
00:36:13Mm-hmm.
00:36:14She can't keep a relationship because she's always been a cheater.
00:36:19Inspired by Lady Gaga and Britney and Justin.
00:36:22Sierra Mist.
00:36:24Now that's a meaty tuck.
00:36:27I am freaking my way down the runway.
00:36:29I'm giving a mix of horror and couture.
00:36:31My arms are dripping in meat.
00:36:33My fascinator is giving alien avant-garde couture.
00:36:36My wig is giving retrofuturism.
00:36:38And I've got myself wrapped up in meat twine with a little meat tag on the side.
00:36:43I think I can see her T-bone.
00:36:46Beef, it's what's for dinner.
00:36:50Up next, Kenya Pleaser.
00:36:53Her meatloaf brings all the boys to the yard.
00:36:55Bitch, I'm sorry.
00:36:56I look cunt.
00:36:58The shoulder is out.
00:36:59The titties are titty-ing.
00:37:01I have these custom-made clock-it two-tone gloves.
00:37:04The gown kisses the floor perfectly, might I add.
00:37:07And my meat purse for serving.
00:37:11She walks into the barbecue purse first.
00:37:15She likes that waggy.
00:37:18Inspired by Katy Perry and Lil' Kim, it is Mia Star.
00:37:24Ooh, Lil' Kim brought her Big Kim.
00:37:26Oh.
00:37:27It's milking time.
00:37:29Sure is.
00:37:30Shake, shake, bitch.
00:37:31Lil' Kim off the bat, baby.
00:37:33I feel so glam.
00:37:35I have my hair that looks like a chandelier.
00:37:37I'm smiling for the judges.
00:37:39I'm giving a little winkity, wink, wink.
00:37:42And make sure that titty bounce.
00:37:44Hey, titty girl.
00:37:45That's the most glamorous utter I've ever seen.
00:37:49Next, Vita Von Teese star.
00:37:52Miss Cecily Tyson for Wakanda Fashion Week.
00:37:59Vita is always going to give you high-hole drag.
00:38:02The cutout in my chest and the silhouette of this body is representing Lil' Kim, honey.
00:38:08And the chandelier in all of the jewels is representing Katy Perry.
00:38:13This bitch is chandelierous.
00:38:15How many drag queens does it take to change a light bulb?
00:38:21Inspired by Kim Kardashian and Zendaya, it's Darlene Mitchell.
00:38:26She loves a good fringe festival, this one.
00:38:29Mm-hmm.
00:38:29Giddy up.
00:38:30This is a space-age space cadet cowgirl fantasy.
00:38:34I've got my space-age take on a cowboy hat.
00:38:36I'm incorporating the grandma's couch floral from Kim Kardashian's Met Gala look.
00:38:41And I've got this chrome sprinkled all throughout.
00:38:44And this horse hair hem on this skirt has me feeling so elegant and puss.
00:38:49Oh, God, I can't take it.
00:38:51Yee-haw!
00:38:53Next, Athena Dion.
00:38:56Iho Silva.
00:38:57Emphasis on the hope.
00:38:59Okay.
00:39:00Chrome and florals wouldn't naturally go together out in nature, honey.
00:39:04But I have put them together very gracefully.
00:39:07My inspiration for this look is a 1960s model, very Endora, the mother in Bewitched.
00:39:13Draped, one shoulder, Grecian goddess.
00:39:15Don't underestimate the goddess, baby.
00:39:17You always have to look for the silver linings.
00:39:20Apparently, she's from Cape Canaveral.
00:39:23Florals for spring.
00:39:25Groundbreaking.
00:39:29Welcome, queens.
00:39:31Tonight, we'll be critiquing you in pairs.
00:39:35And then, I'll decide which bestie wore it best.
00:39:40Starting with Juicy Love Dion and Briar Blush.
00:39:45Inspired by Lil Nas X and Rihanna.
00:39:48Juicy.
00:39:49I could tell straight away the looks that you were wearing.
00:39:53I knew the references.
00:39:54You gave us the silhouette of Rihanna with the color of Lil Nas X.
00:39:58And I just thought, what a glamorous little starlet.
00:40:01The problem I have with it is the fur looks so cheap.
00:40:06So maybe doubling up on the fur to thicken it around the bottom and even around the neck might have
00:40:12helped a little bit.
00:40:13But I would try to keep any type of fur away from your muff area.
00:40:19I did regret that as soon as I put it on.
00:40:24But I think you did a decent job, especially with the sewing of it and giving yourself shoulder pads and
00:40:29making sleeves.
00:40:30I think you did a really good job with it.
00:40:32Briar.
00:40:33Anybody that watches this show knows how I feel about a jumpsuit.
00:40:37I feel like the shoe is telling a different story than the outfit is.
00:40:42I got your shoes because you were wearing a version of the Rihanna shoe.
00:40:45I give you credit for that.
00:40:47Michelle missed that, but I caught it because...
00:40:49Didn't miss it.
00:40:51Rihanna had on a sparkly shoe.
00:40:52She did, but it matched.
00:40:54No, it was a little off.
00:40:55It was silver like that.
00:40:56Okay.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:57I was there.
00:41:01Everything else I hate, you look like a WWE wrestler.
00:41:05I hated it.
00:41:06I just wanted you to jump off the ropes and just do a drop kick on somebody.
00:41:10Probably her, because, you know, you're competing against her.
00:41:13But let me tell you what I did, love.
00:41:15Uh-huh.
00:41:16That face, sorta.
00:41:17The beat is divine.
00:41:19The outfit is...
00:41:21Not so much.
00:41:25But don't look at me like that, girl.
00:41:27Yeah.
00:41:28Okay, look at me like that, girl.
00:41:31All right, well, I've made my decision.
00:41:34The bestie who wore it best is...
00:41:40You okay?
00:41:40Medic!
00:41:41Medic!
00:41:42Briar.
00:41:43Quick sticks!
00:41:44Back there!
00:41:45Come on!
00:41:46Briar just passed out.
00:41:47Really?
00:41:48I'm like, was that too harsh?
00:41:50Just breathe, breathe.
00:41:52Do they fall?
00:41:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:53Just breathe, just breathe.
00:41:53Oh, my God.
00:41:55Just wait a minute.
00:41:56Just stay there.
00:41:57Stay there.
00:41:57Stay there.
00:41:58Whoa.
00:41:59You okay?
00:42:00I didn't even know I fell.
00:42:01It's okay, baby.
00:42:02She just painted?
00:42:02Yeah.
00:42:03I just...
00:42:03She painted.
00:42:04Yeah.
00:42:05Do you know where you're at?
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:07Stop.
00:42:07That better be real.
00:42:10It's not.
00:42:13It's not.
00:42:14It's so shh.
00:42:15It's so shh.
00:42:17Convenient timing.
00:42:19As soon as Law Roach says something about her looking like a WWE wrestler...
00:42:39It's intense up there.
00:42:40I mean, you're stressing out.
00:42:41You're about to be judged by all the judges.
00:42:43Clear path.
00:42:44Transferring Briar to medical tent.
00:42:46Hold camera.
00:42:46Every ingredient for the perfect recipe for a collapse.
00:42:50100%.
00:42:50But who knows what the truth is.
00:42:53There is no way she pretended to faint.
00:42:56That is not like her.
00:42:57And she would not, she would not do that.
00:43:00Queens, I have word that Briar is feeling much better.
00:43:04But to be extra cautious, a doctor is seeing her now.
00:43:10Now to close the circle.
00:43:12The bestie who wore it best is Juicy.
00:43:17Up next, Discord Adams and Jane Don't.
00:43:21Inspired by Cher and Sarah Paulson.
00:43:25Discord.
00:43:26I think you nailed it.
00:43:27The construction is complicated and all of the beading, it's gorgeous.
00:43:32I think it's falling a little bit low.
00:43:35I'd like to see it higher up.
00:43:36It's pulling down.
00:43:37I do want to give you one piece of advice on your walk.
00:43:41It is, um...
00:43:43Were you going to do this later?
00:43:44It's just scary.
00:43:47Okay.
00:43:47I think you're just very stiff.
00:43:49You came out looking like Cher, but walking like Sunny.
00:43:54That threw me off like the walk, kind of like, I was like, oh God.
00:43:58We love your walk, but honestly, to sell a garment, you have to loosen up a bit.
00:44:02Jane, you know how to sew.
00:44:06You know how to put a look together.
00:44:07Thank you for giving us some mame magic.
00:44:11And I love an homage to Angela Lansbury and Bea Arthur.
00:44:15Always.
00:44:16All right.
00:44:17Well, I've made my decision.
00:44:19The bestie who wore it best is...
00:44:23Jane Doe.
00:44:25Congratulations.
00:44:26Up next, Mikey Meeks and Nene Coco, inspired by J. Lo and Nicki Minaj.
00:44:33Mikey, I just want to first congratulate you on winning your Oscar for Nora.
00:44:39It was an amazing film.
00:44:40You walked down and I wrote down Star.
00:44:43You've got just a sparkle that we just want to watch you and see what you do.
00:44:47I love the leopard gown with the ruching in the front.
00:44:49It was really beautiful.
00:44:51I'm not a fan of the blue illusion mesh underneath, because it almost cheapens it a little bit.
00:44:56I wish you would have done more with the fabric, because you have the fabric that looks so much like
00:45:02the Versace.
00:45:02I also didn't like all the appliques.
00:45:05I think you kind of gilded the lily here.
00:45:07Nene.
00:45:08Fantastic.
00:45:10Leopard is leopard is leopard.
00:45:12And we always love leopard.
00:45:13I love that you brought the scarf around your head.
00:45:16I love that you incorporated the green in there with those beautiful rhinestone accessories.
00:45:21So the fact that it's simply a leopard bodysuit with the draping over it, that works for me.
00:45:28I understand the fabric placement is inspired by J. Lo.
00:45:32But I just keep seeing Shania Twain.
00:45:34I'm sorry.
00:45:35I love them both.
00:45:37But I'm going to say, just because of the over-accessorizing, the bestie who wore it best is Nene Coco.
00:45:45Up next, Sierra Miss and Kenya Pleaser, inspired by Lady Gaga and Brittany and Justin.
00:45:52Sierra.
00:45:53Hello.
00:45:54I love this drag.
00:45:55Fantastic.
00:45:56The details of the bugle beads hanging from your fingers, the Philip Tracy style fascinator.
00:46:02It really, really is a smart look.
00:46:05I love the way you kind of like tie a rump roast together to cook it.
00:46:08I loved it.
00:46:09I love the fact that you can tell it's denim and that it's just as twisted as you are.
00:46:16Kenya, I didn't really know who this was looking at you.
00:46:20Denim is not an easy thing to work with.
00:46:22No.
00:46:22I get it.
00:46:23But it wasn't quite giving me the meat dress either.
00:46:26If you weren't carrying a slab of beef in your hand, I wouldn't have known what it was.
00:46:31I just wish you had cooked the steak because it is probably like the most interesting thing of your whole
00:46:36look.
00:46:37I just did not get it.
00:46:40Of course, you can always sell whatever you wear because your personality is so bouncy and lovely.
00:46:46You've come a long way from the first challenge.
00:46:49Unfortunately, it's just not as good as what your partner did.
00:46:53Yeah.
00:46:53So, the best tee who wore it best is Sierra Mist.
00:46:57Up next, Mia Star and Vida Von Teese, inspired by Katy Perry and Lil' Kim.
00:47:03I think first of all, Mia, I wrote down, titty!
00:47:08Titty, titty, titty, titty, titty, titty.
00:47:10We all like titties and you're showing us yours.
00:47:13I used to be scared of the tit.
00:47:15Now I throw lips to the shit.
00:47:18Handle it.
00:47:19I was like, if one of these queens don't come out with a tit exposed with a pasty on it,
00:47:24I am getting up and walking the fuck out.
00:47:27Because this is one of the most iconic looks in red carpet history.
00:47:32This was incredible.
00:47:34I see the crystals that would have been on the chandelier throughout the gown.
00:47:38You look glamorous.
00:47:39You look slutty.
00:47:40You look elegant.
00:47:41But you also look like you're from the hood.
00:47:43So, you are giving me all the things that are me.
00:47:49Vida, gorgeous.
00:47:50Unbelievable.
00:47:51I mean, those shoulders, that cape.
00:47:53This is drag.
00:47:54The headpiece.
00:47:56The neckpiece.
00:47:57It's giving us opulence.
00:47:58In the words of Aretha Franklin, beautiful gown.
00:48:03This is beyond well made.
00:48:06And you also did it in a way that you pay homage to both of the looks.
00:48:11This is a hard one because I love them both.
00:48:13But I'm gonna have to say that the bestie who wore it best is Vida.
00:48:21Up next, Darlene Mitchell and Athena Dion.
00:48:26Inspired by Kim Kardashian and Zendaya.
00:48:29Well, you two got a tough one.
00:48:31Doing one of Law's iconic looks in front of Law.
00:48:34Whew.
00:48:34You probably didn't know I was gonna be here, did you?
00:48:37Did not.
00:48:38Surprise, bitch.
00:48:40You did a good job of bringing in the Mugler robot in the neckpiece.
00:48:45I love this dress.
00:48:47I love the finish on the bottom.
00:48:48But I can't say I dislike something more than I dislike those shoes.
00:48:53Oh, my God.
00:48:54They are so problematic.
00:48:55They're just really clunky.
00:48:58Darlene, I noticed those shoes in the workroom when we were in there yesterday.
00:49:02And I noticed that you had several pair of them.
00:49:05But you have other shoes, too, don't you?
00:49:08Sure.
00:49:09We'll come up with something.
00:49:11Athena, had you took that silver fabric and made a catsuit,
00:49:15even though I know Michelle despises them,
00:49:17I think it would have really been a great nod to the Mugler.
00:49:21But did you sew your ass off?
00:49:23Yeah.
00:49:24Is it beautiful?
00:49:24Yes.
00:49:25It's gorgeous construction.
00:49:26I love the cape.
00:49:27You were smart enough to put the flower fabric underneath at the bottom.
00:49:31So if it flipped when you walked up.
00:49:34I love the silhouette.
00:49:35I think it's fabulous.
00:49:36And it's just so you, also.
00:49:38I love both these looks.
00:49:40But the bestie who wore it best is Athena.
00:49:45Thank you, Queens.
00:49:46I think we've heard enough.
00:49:47While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
00:49:53Now, just between us girlfriends, what do you think of my top three?
00:49:58Of the besties who wore it best, Jane Don't.
00:50:02Sierra and Vita, starting with Jane Don't.
00:50:06What I like about Jane Rue is that each week she is bringing us something different.
00:50:10She is a wild card.
00:50:11You don't know what you're going to get.
00:50:13And I'm here for that.
00:50:13What she did was do something that was really original.
00:50:16But also in the DNA of who she is as a drag queen.
00:50:20I think Jane showed us that she has done her homework.
00:50:23She knows her history.
00:50:25And she knows how to bring a little vintage into the now.
00:50:30Sierra.
00:50:30For me, it was a Gaga, Britney, Justin, menage a trois.
00:50:34And there was a baby burst from a night of torrid sex.
00:50:39And it was perfect.
00:50:41This was camp, but with class, which is hard to thread that needle.
00:50:48And she not only threaded that needle, but she made a garment out of it.
00:50:51All right, Vita.
00:50:52Can we just all collectively ooh and ah over that outfit?
00:50:57Ooh.
00:50:58Ooh, ah.
00:50:59That was so exquisitely executed.
00:51:02I have two words.
00:51:04High drag.
00:51:05Mm-hmm.
00:51:06And when I come, that is what I want to see.
00:51:08And she delivered it tonight.
00:51:10I mean, if she could have put another rhinestone in one other place, she would have done it.
00:51:15She would.
00:51:15But there was no more room left.
00:51:16It was perfection.
00:51:18All right, let's talk about my bottom three.
00:51:21Briar Discord and Kenya, starting with Briar Blush.
00:51:25I'm going to give her some props for the construction of that bodysuit.
00:51:30There was a lot going on on the bodysuit, and it was fitted well.
00:51:33I don't really give a fuck how well she sewed it.
00:51:35It was ugly.
00:51:38It was tacky.
00:51:39The color was off.
00:51:40I hated it.
00:51:41Let's talk about Discord.
00:51:42I loved the look.
00:51:44I thought it was beautiful.
00:51:45There was a little bit of fitting that needed to be tweaked.
00:51:48She put the cutouts on the butt, but you're not walking backwards.
00:51:52This may be a huge contradiction, but I did not come to RuPaul's Drag Race to see a man in
00:51:57a dress.
00:51:59And when she walked out, all I could see was a man in a dress.
00:52:04It's the walk.
00:52:04And if she loosens up in the shoulders and picks herself up a little bit, I think she's going to
00:52:09get it.
00:52:09Kenya, please her.
00:52:11I like the idea of the fringe that she tied in.
00:52:13I thought it was cute, the Western wear.
00:52:15But everything else just didn't go.
00:52:17But there is something special about her.
00:52:19Even though she knew it was wrong, she walked out with the confidence to make us think it was right.
00:52:24And I think that says something.
00:52:26Tonight's outfit was an improvement from what she did before, but not by much.
00:52:31All right, silence.
00:52:33I made my decision.
00:52:35Bring back my girls.
00:52:38Welcome back, queens.
00:52:40Briar Blush, the doctor has given you a clean bill of health.
00:52:45Are you ready to continue in the competition?
00:52:48Absolutely.
00:52:49Atta girl.
00:52:50Can't squabble this opportunity.
00:52:54Squabble is not the right word for this context.
00:52:57I think she meant squander.
00:52:58I won't squabble this opportunity.
00:53:01You won't what?
00:53:03It's not like a fucking Kendrick Lamar song, squabble.
00:53:05Like, what, bitch?
00:53:07Now, I've made some decisions.
00:53:11Juicy Love Dion.
00:53:13Nene Coco.
00:53:15Athena Dion.
00:53:18You are safe.
00:53:22Let me step to the back of the stage.
00:53:28Jane Doan.
00:53:30Tonight, your Bea Arthur got an A+.
00:53:34Sierra Mist.
00:53:36Tonight, you really raised the stakes.
00:53:41Vita Von Teese Star.
00:53:43Tonight, you lit up the stage.
00:53:47Vita.
00:53:49Conjagulations.
00:53:50You're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:53:52Yes!
00:53:52Woo!
00:53:54You've won a cash tip of $5,000.
00:53:58Ah!
00:53:59I won, Mama!
00:54:00I won the challenge!
00:54:01Jane, Sierra, you're both safe.
00:54:04You three may join the other girls.
00:54:25Briar Blush.
00:54:27You're a super queen, but your cape look didn't fly on the runway.
00:54:33Discord, Adams.
00:54:35I'm buying your runway walk, but this week, you did not sell the garment.
00:54:42Can you please her?
00:54:44Your personality gagged the judges, but your meaty look was hard to swallow.
00:54:57Discord, Adams.
00:55:01You are safe.
00:55:02Thank you so much.
00:55:04You may walk to the back of the stage.
00:55:08Thank you so much.
00:55:15Briar, Kenya, I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.
00:55:22Coming back from a painting, I knew that it was a possibility that this would happen.
00:55:27But I'm going to fight.
00:55:29I want to stay.
00:55:30So I'm going to give it all that I have left.
00:55:33Two queens stand before me.
00:55:36Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
00:55:47The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:55:59The girl passed out earlier today, and I feel very bad.
00:56:03But guess what?
00:56:05I cannot squabble this opportunity.
00:56:08Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
00:56:14Let's go, girl.
00:56:15Let's go.
00:56:16I'm two seconds away.
00:56:18I'm right around the corner now.
00:56:23I'm two seconds away.
00:56:26Hold tight.
00:56:27I'm about to arrive.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:30And this space is the space where I let it go.
00:56:34And I hate to be waiting.
00:56:37So hold the door.
00:56:38I've got shades on my face.
00:56:40Bitch, Briar throws off all of her accessories.
00:56:46So I'm in the background screaming,
00:56:48Watch out for her accessories!
00:56:50Be careful, Kenya!
00:56:51I need justice for Mandy Mango now.
00:56:55Lights, camera, action, that's it.
00:56:57Oh!
00:56:58Boom!
00:56:59The pussy did touch the ground, darling.
00:57:02Lights, camera, action, that's it.
00:57:05This place is the space where I let it burn.
00:57:07If you can't keep the pace, walk out of the door.
00:57:10Let's go!
00:57:11Here I go.
00:57:13Turn it up!
00:57:14Turn it up!
00:57:17Turn it up!
00:57:18Turn it up!
00:57:18Turn it up!
00:57:19Turn it up!
00:57:19See what I got a choice.
00:57:21We're dancing for tonight.
00:57:23It's about to go off.
00:57:25Tell me, can you play me?
00:57:30Lights, camera, action, that's it.
00:57:33Hey!
00:57:35Come on, Kenya!
00:57:38Lights, camera, action, that's it.
00:57:55Yeah!
00:57:56Lights, camera, action, that's it.
00:57:58Yeah!
00:58:02Lights, camera, action, that's it!
00:58:04Good job, girl!
00:58:07Queens, I've made my decision.
00:58:09Yes!
00:58:09We're not done.
00:58:09Oh, I'm done.
00:58:09No, I'm done.
00:58:10Lord, please.
00:58:14Kenya Pleaser, Shantae, you stay.
00:58:19Thank you, thank you.
00:58:21You may join the other girls.
00:58:23Thank you, thank you, Judges, thank you.
00:58:26Briar Blush, we hate to see you go, but we love to watch you walk away.
00:58:33Now, sashay away.
00:58:36Thank you so much.
00:58:40And Rue, I don't care what these girls say about you.
00:58:43I think you're cool.
00:58:50Why are you recording me?
00:58:56Some very gorgeous outfits were missed.
00:58:58Rue, all I want to say is, huge mistake.
00:59:02I thought overall my outfit was pretty cute,
00:59:04but this week for me was pretty stressful.
00:59:07There were lots of moments of self-doubt.
00:59:10So it wasn't my proudest moment going out on,
00:59:12but I will pick myself back up.
00:59:14And if you're rooting for me, I'm positive.
00:59:18You will get more.
00:59:24Congratulations, queens.
00:59:25And remember, if you can't love yourself out on the hill,
00:59:28you're going to love somebody else.
00:59:30Can I get an amen up in here?
00:59:32Amen.
00:59:33All right, now let the music play.
00:59:47Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race,
00:59:49get ready for the Raider Queen talent show.
00:59:53This week, half of you will take the stage
00:59:56to perform a show-stopping talent number.
00:59:59What a performer.
01:00:01And the other half will watch and rate the performances.
01:00:05Are you going to say Lyle?
01:00:07If I find out the Raider shit, I'm going to fight y'all.
01:00:09You know, Jane, you've been in the top every week.
01:00:11Like, wouldn't it be convenient to put you lower in the rank?
01:00:14All's fair in Love and War.
