00:00:02Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race,
00:00:05you'll be starring in the Snatch Game of Love Island.
00:00:10Get your hands on my man before I maw you like a jaguar.
00:00:16What's your type?
00:00:17I like all kinds of guys.
00:00:19Okay, but not a type O, type A negative?
00:00:24Yes.
00:00:26Mia Star.
00:00:27Rue was literally handing you the joke and you were missing it.
00:00:31Can you please her?
00:00:32Have you ever fucked one of them?
00:00:34You could have given her just layers of something to work with.
00:00:38Nene Coco.
00:00:39My anaconda dude.
00:00:42You had Rue laughing almost the entire time.
00:00:44Congratulations, you're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:00:49Can you please her? Shantae, you stay.
00:00:51Oh my God, please.
00:00:52Mia Star, sashay away.
00:01:06Mia has just left us.
00:01:08I'm having a lot of feelings.
00:01:10Mia is such a big part of my family, so it's a hit to me,
00:01:14and I know it's a hit to Juicy.
00:01:16Big backs take over.
00:01:19Kenya, I love you.
00:01:20Athena and Juicy, take it home.
00:01:23Love, Mama Mia.
00:01:24Oh.
00:01:25I sent my good sister and my mother Mia home.
00:01:28One of the most positive fucking people to have in your corner,
00:01:31and that's a real ass bitch.
00:01:33Mia literally had my back in the Raider Queen,
00:01:35and I love Mia so much.
00:01:38I know Mia's presence is gonna be missed in this competition for sure.
00:01:42I'm gonna miss her so much here, but I can't wait to see that bitch on the other side.
00:01:45She's gonna text Mandy right after this.
00:01:49She's gonna say,
00:01:50Grier went home.
00:01:52You won that lipstick.
00:01:54Mia, we love you.
00:01:55You galvanized, sister. You galvanized.
00:01:57Galvanized.
00:01:58You galvanized yourself.
00:01:59And you did not squabble that opportunity, bitch.
00:02:01I did not squabble it, honey.
00:02:02From this point on, Mia, I'm gonna do this for you, bitch.
00:02:05I want to make Mia proud.
00:02:08Kenya is here to play, bitch.
00:02:10Juicy.
00:02:11Juicyka Simpson.
00:02:12So who are you?
00:02:13Tough question.
00:02:15So RuPaul did ask a very tough question to Juicy.
00:02:18At this point in the competition, we need to see you.
00:02:21Like, who are you?
00:02:24That one question did hit me hard because it is something, like,
00:02:28I've personally struggled with and probably haven't, like, voiced as much
00:02:32and, like, I had been dealing with, like, a bit of a drug addiction.
00:02:37Um, and I did kind of lose myself for a while.
00:02:40This may be your comeback then.
00:02:42I know how hard it was to pull yourself out of that dark space,
00:02:45and I'm so happy and so blessed to be here with you for your comeback.
00:02:49And I love you and I'm proud of you.
00:02:52It is a very dark thing that I went through.
00:02:56Athena was...
00:02:59She was fighting so hard to try to get me out of it.
00:03:03Crying to me, like, I don't know how to help you anymore.
00:03:06I guess people try to, like, see me and see that I have this perfect life.
00:03:10Uh-oh.
00:03:11There's so much darkness that comes with all of that.
00:03:14And light has to come from darkness.
00:03:18Well, Nini, congratulations.
00:03:21Smash game winner.
00:03:23I guess I'm funny now.
00:03:25You better watch out.
00:03:27If the girls didn't think I was a threat before, I'm definitely a threat now.
00:03:31I was making Drew laugh with everything that I said.
00:03:34I'm feeling phenomenal.
00:03:36I mean, to get top critiques on Snatch Game, that is an accomplishment.
00:03:39They love the Drew.
00:03:40I'm proud of myself.
00:03:41After the Raid of Queen, I feel like a really nice, like, flame is under my ass.
00:03:46They didn't love the character's shoe.
00:03:50But here's a...
00:03:51Can we do a shoe cam, please?
00:03:52No, no shoe cam, no.
00:03:53Can we do a shoe cam?
00:03:54Yeah, I think we need to do it.
00:03:55Wow.
00:03:57Jane, your Snatch Game, it was also amazing.
00:03:59How are you feeling?
00:04:01Um, I'm mostly feeling good.
00:04:03I mean, you know, I have been in the top every week.
00:04:06Eight weeks in a row.
00:04:08Jane, don't bottom.
00:04:09So, I'm just kind of like, would really love to finally just like pop again and get a win.
00:04:16Well, we have two queens with two wins.
00:04:20Juicy and NeNe.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:22Three queens with one win.
00:04:24Myself, Athena, and Jane.
00:04:27And then Darlene, Kenya, and Discord are soon to be on the board.
00:04:33Now that we have two people in the room that have two wins under their belt, I'm a little like,
00:04:39Miss Jane, we need to hurry this shit up.
00:04:42I am quickly feeling like I'm falling a bit behind the pack.
00:04:46Oh my god.
00:04:47Oh.
00:04:48Her having on real panties.
00:04:50Who wants my panties?
00:04:52Y'all, first of all, look how tiny her fucking panties are.
00:04:55Wait, can you put them on?
00:04:56Wait, give me your panties.
00:04:57Can you put them on?
00:04:59It's about to get real nasty in here.
00:05:00I'm going to have to level my pussy up.
00:05:03What the fuck?
00:05:04I need to give it some sauce, some razzle-dazzle, I need some razzle-dazzle, I need to do something.
00:05:08From this point on, Kenya Pleaser is a top.
00:05:12Can't believe I just said that.
00:05:15Take those off now, you fucking cunt!
00:05:22The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics
00:05:29and a cash prize of $200,000, courtesy of RuPaul's Drag Race Match Queen,
00:05:36with extra special guest judge, Benny Blanco.
00:05:39RuPaul's Drag Race, say the best drag queen wins.
00:05:48Here we go!
00:05:50It's a new day, though.
00:05:52This competition is dwindling down.
00:05:55There are only eight girls left in the room, and only a few of us will make it to the
00:05:59finale.
00:06:00I have a question for the group here.
00:06:02Out of the departed queens, who is the one that you're the most surprised isn't here with us still today?
00:06:07Vida.
00:06:08Vida.
00:06:08Vida.
00:06:09You're the reason!
00:06:11Vida knows who she is, so that's kind of...
00:06:13Oh!
00:06:14Nini!
00:06:15What the hell, Nini?
00:06:17Nini!
00:06:18Nini has a gun!
00:06:19Nini has a gun!
00:06:20Nini has a gun!
00:06:21We say that Nini has a gun because everyone just kind of is catching strays with Nini.
00:06:26Sometimes everyone's sort of, like, having a fun time.
00:06:29And Nini will come out of nowhere and be like, and that's why your mom's dead.
00:06:35Hello, hello, hello!
00:06:38You kitties want some ice cream?
00:06:40Yes, please!
00:06:41Meow!
00:06:41Meow!
00:06:42You know, at this point in the competition, it's time to delve deep into your Charisma Unique
00:06:47Deservant Challenge.
00:06:48For today's mini-challenge, we're gonna play a game we call...
00:06:53Grindr?
00:06:54I hardly know her!
00:06:55Ooh!
00:06:57Oh, pit crew!
00:06:58Ooh!
00:06:59Hey!
00:07:00Hey!
00:07:02Hey!
00:07:04Bryce and Havin are gonna help us keep score.
00:07:08They're zero miles away.
00:07:09Okay.
00:07:10Now, here's how the game works.
00:07:12I ask a question, like, which queen is most likely to steal your man?
00:07:18Then you all vote.
00:07:19Each time your answer matches the majority, you get a point.
00:07:23And in the end, the queen with the most points wins.
00:07:27Okay, first question.
00:07:29Which queen is most likely to lie and say she's verse?
00:07:35All right?
00:07:36Expose yourself.
00:07:39Oh!
00:07:40Looks like that would be Athena.
00:07:43Yes!
00:07:44The woman wears a caftan.
00:07:46There you go.
00:07:47Screams top to me.
00:07:49Okay, so, Mikey, Jane, Darlene, and Kenya, you all have a point.
00:07:55Next question.
00:07:56Which queen is most likely to hook up in drag?
00:08:00Jesus Christ.
00:08:01One, two, three, reveal.
00:08:03Oh!
00:08:04I'm sensing a pattern here.
00:08:07Athena.
00:08:08All right, so, which queen is most likely to lie about her age on her Grindr profile?
00:08:14God almighty!
00:08:16One, two, three.
00:08:20Unanimous.
00:08:22It is unanimous.
00:08:24It still says 30, yes.
00:08:26Come on, Jesse!
00:08:28Everyone gets one point.
00:08:29All right, which queen has the lowest body count?
00:08:33Not me.
00:08:34Oh, okay.
00:08:36It looks like Darlene.
00:08:38And do we have the Lort thing for that?
00:08:41Yes.
00:08:42Which queen is most likely to have mask for mask on her profile?
00:08:47Oh!
00:08:48Okay.
00:08:50Five queens voted for NeNe.
00:08:52Goddamn.
00:08:52NeNe, do you know something that we don't?
00:08:55All right, next question.
00:08:57Which queen is most likely to be on Grindr at a funeral?
00:09:03Hmm.
00:09:04A somber mood has dropped over the proceedings.
00:09:07One, two, three.
00:09:09Kenya.
00:09:10You just a lot of rich people at funerals, girl.
00:09:12All right, final question.
00:09:14And it's worth five points.
00:09:17Ooh.
00:09:17Oh.
00:09:18Which queen is most likely to disappear off the grid?
00:09:23As in, who's going home next?
00:09:27Looks like Mikey is ready.
00:09:29With remorse.
00:09:31Y'all ready?
00:09:34Oh, my gosh.
00:09:36Kenya is the choice.
00:09:38Kenya, you chose yourself.
00:09:39Oh, yes. I knew how they were gonna vote.
00:09:40That's not gonna happen in the name of Jesus Christ.
00:09:42But, you know, I had to play the game, child.
00:09:44Nene and Athena said Discord.
00:09:46Ooh.
00:09:47Now, Nene, you chose Discord.
00:09:49Why?
00:09:50She's been chronically saved.
00:09:52Oh, okay.
00:09:54I may have only been saved, but I have never been in the bottom.
00:09:58There are some girls here who have been in the bottom a lot.
00:10:02So, the logic ain't logic in, girl.
00:10:04Okay, queens.
00:10:05The winner of today's mini challenge is...
00:10:09Discord.
00:10:09And Kenya.
00:10:11It is a tie.
00:10:13Condragulations.
00:10:14You'll split a cash prize of $2,500.
00:10:19Yes!
00:10:19Courtesy of Grindr.
00:10:22Honey, last season, everybody voted for Jules to go home next.
00:10:25And look what happened.
00:10:26She ended up being top two.
00:10:28Now, Ladykins, when you're stuck with a day that's gray and lonely,
00:10:34you can bet your bottom dollar that there's gonna be a Rusical challenge.
00:10:39Yeah!
00:10:42Let's go!
00:10:43So, this week, you'll be acting, singing, voguing, and noguing.
00:10:47Ooh!
00:10:47In the Rusical, Fanny the Hard Knocked Ball.
00:10:51Yes, bitch!
00:10:53Wow!
00:10:53It's the drags to riches story of Fanny, a young orphan with big dreams and an even bigger ass.
00:11:02Wow!
00:11:03I am so happy we are finally down to the Rusical because that means choreography.
00:11:09I've had two bad weeks back to back.
00:11:11And I want to finally have another good week.
00:11:15Now, I'll let you decide which roles you'll play.
00:11:18Now, to help you get into character, we will be providing the costumes as well as the hair, courtesy of
00:11:26Wigs and Grace.
00:11:28The one challenge in all of Drag Race Herstory that I am the most nervous about.
00:11:37Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
00:11:41Yeah!
00:11:43Broadway!
00:11:46Broadway!
00:11:47Broadway!
00:11:48So now it is time for us to pick our roles for Fanny the Hard Knocked Ball Rusical.
00:11:53It is a Rusical inspired by Annie, one of my favorite musicals of all time.
00:11:58In the iconic film, Paris is Burning.
00:12:02Juicy, plug us in and hit play.
00:12:04Going, going, going.
00:12:06Oh!
00:12:08The role of Miss Shenanigans jumps out to me.
00:12:10This is a juke joint, vaudeville number.
00:12:13The risk of me having to Vogue is pretty low.
00:12:17So I am going to do what I need to do to get this role.
00:12:20Okay.
00:12:21Oh, shit!
00:12:21I'm looking for a role that I can use to stand out.
00:12:25I see Grace Gaultier.
00:12:26She's the MC of the ball.
00:12:28She's the main MC.
00:12:29I want Grace.
00:12:30I am listening for the track that has the least amount of vocals and probably the least amount of dancing.
00:12:37Feel good.
00:12:39Immediately, I see the role of Mama Big Bucks, a ruthless, domineering house mother.
00:12:45I have some experience with this!
00:12:48Brandy!
00:12:49Okay, there's a dog.
00:12:50Perfect.
00:12:52Close.
00:12:52Close the book.
00:12:53So are there any first thoughts on roles?
00:12:56I'm feeling Grace hard.
00:12:58I would like to be a little salty.
00:12:59I think I would really like Mama Big Bucks.
00:13:02I'm leaning toward Brandy.
00:13:04I really like Cecile's part.
00:13:08I would like Miss Shenanigans.
00:13:09So the ones that are sort of up in the air, it seems like are Fanny and Big Peppa.
00:13:14I would feel comfortable taking Fanny.
00:13:17Fanny is the role I want.
00:13:19She has the most singing out of everybody.
00:13:22And I'm a recovering theater kid.
00:13:24I have background in theater, so I do feel comfortable taking that.
00:13:30I also want Fanny.
00:13:32Oh!
00:13:33Okay.
00:13:34I'm coming in hot off the Snatch Game.
00:13:36I could keep the momentum going into the Root School.
00:13:38I feel like, hey, I could be the lead.
00:13:40Big Peppa is sort of the one where whoever does not get Fanny is going.
00:13:46I don't think I want Big Peppa.
00:13:48I don't want Big Peppa either.
00:13:50This town ain't big enough for two Fannies.
00:13:51Should we audition?
00:13:53All right, yeah, let's do it.
00:13:54Okay, fine.
00:13:54Okay, fine.
00:13:55And then the group decides who's Fanny.
00:13:58Okay.
00:13:59And if you're not Fanny...
00:14:01You're Big Peppa?
00:14:02You're Big Peppa.
00:14:03Leapin' lizards!
00:14:04Look at all these beautiful girls.
00:14:07What do I have that they don't have?
00:14:20I like Mikey.
00:14:26And why?
00:14:27I thought it was more believable.
00:14:30Personally.
00:14:31All in favor of Mikey.
00:14:33Raise your hand.
00:14:33One, two, three.
00:14:37Okay, shit.
00:14:38Well, fuck my drag.
00:14:39It feels like my drag.
00:14:39The girls had already made up their mind before the audition even happened.
00:14:43Do I just have to accept the vote?
00:14:45Yeah.
00:14:46I mean, I was happy with the vote.
00:14:49Girl.
00:14:51Well.
00:14:52I mean, I also like Mama Big Bucks.
00:14:56Back up, ho.
00:14:57No, ma'am.
00:14:58Ex, get away from me.
00:14:59This is my part.
00:15:00Do you want to take Big Peppa?
00:15:01I don't want to take Mama Big Bucks.
00:15:02I don't want to take Mama Big Bucks.
00:15:02I want to take Mama Big Bucks.
00:15:03This is a part that I feel really close to and that I want to do.
00:15:05And I want to make up for myself in the Snatch Game.
00:15:07So I'm not budging, period.
00:15:08So why do I have to budge?
00:15:09Because you just auditioned for Fanny, I'm not going to sit here and do Big Peppa
00:15:13when I have a part that's written for me right here.
00:15:14I'm just not doing it.
00:15:16No.
00:15:17I mean, I just, I really don't think I want Big Peppa.
00:15:23Is it stressing you out that much?
00:15:25It's the one role I didn't want.
00:15:28After a while, it gets exhausting.
00:15:30I start thinking strategically.
00:15:32If you really want Fanny, I can do Big Peppa.
00:15:36NeNe, you take the lead.
00:15:38See what happens when you realize how much singing there is.
00:15:41You sure?
00:15:42Um, if it gets us to the next step, sounds good to me.
00:15:46I'm getting scared.
00:15:47Okay.
00:15:48Well, well, well.
00:15:49You fought, bitch.
00:15:50You fought for it.
00:15:50You fought for it.
00:15:52Do you want Fanny?
00:15:53Do you want to do it?
00:15:54Oh, my God.
00:15:54Because it's between the title.
00:15:56Okay.
00:15:56Okay.
00:15:58Hold on.
00:15:58Hold on.
00:15:59Hold on.
00:15:59I'm sorry.
00:16:00I'm sorry.
00:16:00I'm sorry.
00:16:01I'm sorry.
00:16:01NeNe is trying to outsmart the challenge, and it's the same thing that happened with the
00:16:08talent show.
00:16:08I think I would rather get it over with.
00:16:11Let's go week one.
00:16:14Wait.
00:16:14I'll go week two.
00:16:17NeNe, I, with all the love in my heart.
00:16:20If Mikey's willing to take Big Peppa, then you just do Fanny, and she takes Big Peppa.
00:16:24Like, let's just, let's just lock it in then.
00:16:25I'm gonna...
00:16:27You're having a breakthrough.
00:16:28What?
00:16:28Jesus Christ.
00:16:29We're gonna be here forever.
00:16:31I look over at the other girls, and Jane's kind of rumbling in her chair.
00:16:35The other girls are kind of like, ugh, you know?
00:16:38I'm just kind of getting in my head about it.
00:16:39Maybe this is a sign that I'm not ready to take on the lead lead.
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:45You take Fanny.
00:16:47I'm gonna take Big Peppa.
00:16:48We have officially casted Fanny, the hard knock ball, honey.
00:16:52Are you ready to serve?
00:16:54Are you ready to slay?
00:16:58Let's go.
00:16:59The marquee is up.
00:17:00Mikey Meeks as Fanny, the title role.
00:17:05Ooh, let's do it.
00:17:06Fanny!
00:17:09Hello.
00:17:10Hello.
00:17:10Hi, Leland.
00:17:11Hi.
00:17:12It's time to record our vocals with Leland, and I'm a little bit nervous.
00:17:15I'm not known for being the best singer in the world.
00:17:18Say hello to music producer Gabe Lopez.
00:17:20Hi, Gabe.
00:17:21How are you?
00:17:22Gabe has worked tirelessly putting together the music, and we just cannot wait to see what
00:17:27you do with it.
00:17:27You know, our job is to make you sound the best you can.
00:17:31Got your work cut out for you, honey.
00:17:34There's a lot at stake because, ultimately, we are not live singing the Rusicals.
00:17:39So, what we do in these recording sessions dictates the kinds of choices we're gonna be able
00:17:44to make on stage.
00:17:45All right, let's get to it.
00:17:46First up is Juicy Love Dion.
00:17:49I'm up first.
00:17:51This is no fun.
00:17:53This Rusical all the way through has to just feel fierce.
00:17:56So, I'm really excited to see you just bring that attitude and that energy and that authenticity.
00:18:01So, here we go.
00:18:02I'm dripping in pure opulence.
00:18:04These jewels, they cost a ton.
00:18:05But if I shine too bright into your mama's light, ooh, honey, I'm done.
00:18:10It all sounds da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:18:12Go above.
00:18:13Go take it to the extreme.
00:18:15This is a Rusical.
00:18:16Dancing is half of it.
00:18:17You gotta bring the acting through the voice.
00:18:20And I don't know if Juicy's fully doing that.
00:18:23Up next, Kenya Pleaser.
00:18:25Let's jump right in.
00:18:26Ball, ball, bring her to the ball.
00:18:28Leave no crumbs, let's see it all.
00:18:30Stump that floor, arch that back, snap that band, crack, crack.
00:18:34What an opening.
00:18:36That's what I'm talking about.
00:18:37The way everything is rolling off my tongue right now, I'm having so much fun.
00:18:41Bitch, you know, Sade, these girls better be scared on this pleasing.
00:18:45These are this weak, bitch.
00:18:45I don't care, honey.
00:18:48Up next is Nene Coco.
00:18:50I put up a fight for the lead.
00:18:52So I feel like I do have a little bit of something to prove to the other girls.
00:18:55One, two.
00:18:56No silver spoons, but I make them eat.
00:18:59I gag them all with this fierce ass beat.
00:19:03That's different than what I expected.
00:19:05I'm kind of trying to go in this rock direction.
00:19:08I'm not exactly hitting the notes in the way that I think I can hit them.
00:19:14Whoa.
00:19:16This isn't therapy, but if you need to let something out, it's all good.
00:19:19Athena, do you feel rich?
00:19:21Do you feel ready?
00:19:22I feel ruthless.
00:19:23Great.
00:19:24So really thread the character throughout this song.
00:19:26When I want diamonds by the mine, I own the moon because I like the shine.
00:19:30I bought the ocean just to take a dip.
00:19:32I'm a billionaire on an ego trip.
00:19:35Athena has a condition that causes her to step into a recording booth and immediately sound like Dr. Seuss.
00:19:42Down from Olympus, looking right.
00:19:44Your goddess is here to shine her light.
00:19:46I would love for you to be not so Dr. Seuss about it.
00:19:50And we need to find a cure immediately.
00:19:52I own the moon because I like the shine.
00:19:55I buy the moon.
00:19:56Like, it's Mrs. Doubtfire.
00:19:57Miss Shenanigans, let her be drunk, slurry, funny.
00:20:03Metaphorically, take a shot.
00:20:04Drunk.
00:20:05Here we go.
00:20:06Now they just whisper, look at her.
00:20:10She's so intoxicated.
00:20:13Key change.
00:20:16Now it's my time to shine.
00:20:20Like the top of the Chrysler building.
00:20:23Oh, very good.
00:20:25I mean, we were laughing.
00:20:26I know when I can feel Gabe laughing behind me.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:29That we're in the right zone.
00:20:30Jane Don't comes into this motherfucking recording session with a full realized character and kills it.
00:20:37All right, so you are our fanny.
00:20:40This is, it's a big role.
00:20:42Do you feel good and everything?
00:20:43Okay.
00:20:44My background's in theater and musical theater.
00:20:46I haven't, it's been a minute.
00:20:47I kind of retired it for a while.
00:20:49So it's cool to dip my toes back into it.
00:20:51Okay, perfect.
00:20:52Here we go.
00:20:52Do I have the guts to kiss this horn knock alive?
00:20:57Goodbye, maybe, maybe.
00:21:05That sounds amazing.
00:21:07You have such a good voice.
00:21:08Great job.
00:21:08Amazing.
00:21:09I think the casting seems to be really right.
00:21:12She came to sing, honey.
00:21:14Mikey is slaying these vocals and NeNe is chewing on a big piece of humble pie right now.
00:21:19Next Tuesday, next Tuesday.
00:21:22I'll see you next Tuesday.
00:21:25You're only a week away.
00:21:33Yes.
00:21:34Yes.
00:21:35Yes.
00:21:35I didn't realize that we had Sutton Foster in the building.
00:21:40Oh my God.
00:21:42My chances of winning might be going down the drain.
00:21:52Ladies.
00:21:54All right.
00:21:54Hi Jamal.
00:21:56Hello.
00:21:56Here we go.
00:21:57Here we go.
00:21:58It's time to do our choreography session with Jamal Sims.
00:22:02And no matter how the recording turned out, I can bring the character to life through the choreo.
00:22:07I just want to introduce Carlos Basquiat.
00:22:09Hi, Carlos.
00:22:09Amazing choreographer, dancer, who you guys might have seen him with either Beyonce or Madonna.
00:22:15Also the hit show Legendary.
00:22:17Yeah.
00:22:18Wow.
00:22:18He's a ballroom expert and he's here to make sure we execute it the best way possible.
00:22:23We're really going to be bogeying it today.
00:22:26First up, Juicy and Kenya.
00:22:29As you're learning the steps, think about the character.
00:22:32Opulence is what we're going for.
00:22:34Just to add on a little bit to what Jamal was saying, are we familiar with Paris is Burning?
00:22:37Yeah.
00:22:37Your cattiness, your cuntiness, your attitude, your sass needs to shine through the elements.
00:22:43We have to really deliver the real essence of ballroom.
00:22:46Give me some choreography.
00:22:47So you want to go one, two, over and hit.
00:22:53Cat.
00:22:54Cat.
00:22:55Over and hit.
00:22:56I can hit the choreography.
00:22:58Down.
00:22:59I feel like I got something to prove.
00:23:01So like I'm just really working my little butt off.
00:23:04So I'm feeling ready to dance.
00:23:08Cat.
00:23:09Cat.
00:23:10Cat.
00:23:10Cat.
00:23:12Cat.
00:23:12I thought Mama Big Bucks was just going to be this regal bitch in a gown.
00:23:19Just like gliding and kind of giving shay.
00:23:21Why is she going to dance so much?
00:23:23Ooooo!
00:23:25You boys.
00:23:27I may be alone on this opinion, but I love watching Athena dance.
00:23:31It is a unique experience.
00:23:36Jane, don't.
00:23:37Can I ask you to give us a little Miss Shenanigan walk?
00:23:40Yeah, I mean, I'm taking sort of inspiration
00:23:43from Discord on the runway.
00:23:45So we're sort of back here.
00:23:50We're sort of here.
00:23:51Uh-huh. She's a party girl.
00:23:52Yeah, oh, honey. Yes.
00:23:54You know you can't take.
00:23:58Mikey Meeks and Darlene Mitchell.
00:24:01Darlene, the hard part for you is you have to do it
00:24:04as a dog.
00:24:06Yes.
00:24:07Doggy style is going to be your thing.
00:24:10Okay.
00:24:11Typically I hate choreography,
00:24:14but like I immediately recognize that I can lean on
00:24:16my physical comedy.
00:24:17Then I can kind of, you know, have some wiggle room,
00:24:20have some fun.
00:24:20Head, chest.
00:24:22Darlene, pause, not fist.
00:24:26So being a dog, I will do.
00:24:28Discord Adams and Nene Coco.
00:24:31I'm a little bit nervous.
00:24:32It's time to do the one thing I don't want to do.
00:24:35Choreography.
00:24:36All right.
00:24:36So we're going to do a little,
00:24:37a little old school hip hop.
00:24:39The running man.
00:24:40Think about going like this.
00:24:42Hop, hop, hop.
00:24:44Bye.
00:24:45There it is.
00:24:47Girl.
00:24:49What the fuck?
00:24:50Hop, hop, hop, hop.
00:24:53Holla.
00:24:55Child, as opposed to Discord, honey,
00:24:58Nene got a little spicy in her,
00:24:59but it's still awfully white.
00:25:02We need to add some pepper up in there.
00:25:03Come on, here we go.
00:25:04Some seasoning.
00:25:06One and two and three and four,
00:25:09five, six, seven, eight.
00:25:12Yo, these moves are tight, son.
00:25:15One, hop, two, hop.
00:25:16Three, four, turn.
00:25:17Five, hop.
00:25:18Discord Adams, honey, legend.
00:25:20Legend.
00:25:21Legend doesn't make it to her.
00:25:22Honey.
00:25:22She came too slow.
00:25:30It's opening night!
00:25:32La, la, la, la, la.
00:25:34It's a new day in the work room.
00:25:37And I should not sing.
00:25:40I think I've learned.
00:25:42It's opening night of Fanny,
00:25:45the hard knock ball musical.
00:25:48Touch your skin, darling.
00:25:50Touch all of this skin.
00:25:52Bitch, I'm ready.
00:25:53I feel very, very confident.
00:25:56Like, I'm all smiles.
00:25:58All 32 of my teeth, bitch.
00:26:01Good morning, honey.
00:26:03Good morning, daughter,
00:26:04the lead of the Fanny musical.
00:26:07I have a lot riding on this.
00:26:09I'm the leading role of this whole rusical.
00:26:12And I want this win so bad.
00:26:17One thing about me is I'm not afraid to,
00:26:20when I believe that I have done wrong,
00:26:24I feel like I can acknowledge that.
00:26:25Girl.
00:26:26I love you.
00:26:27You're gonna kill it.
00:26:27I love you too.
00:26:28I was so blown away in your recording session.
00:26:32Leland and Gabe were really impressed.
00:26:35Honestly, the recording session felt kind of, like,
00:26:39therapeutic to have someone who is a professional at this
00:26:42complimenting the hell out of me.
00:26:45Oh, my God.
00:26:46Surreal.
00:26:47It's surreal.
00:26:48I grew up in theater.
00:26:49That was, like, a big dream of mine.
00:26:52And I went to school for it and all that.
00:26:54It's like, unless you are the best of the best,
00:26:56it usually doesn't work out for you.
00:26:58Would you say it's a hard knock life?
00:26:59It's a hard knock life.
00:27:00I counted myself out.
00:27:02That whole side of me, I just, like, put away
00:27:04because I just didn't think I was good enough.
00:27:06Like, when I was in school,
00:27:08when I was doing, like, music in theater,
00:27:09I just felt like such the black sheep
00:27:12of the, like, department in a lot of ways.
00:27:14I would audition for things and I would be like,
00:27:16like, I'm not a romantic lead.
00:27:17It's like, you're telling me no because I'm too visibly gay
00:27:20or I'm not, like, thin enough or I don't,
00:27:23I'm not, like, handsome enough or whatever
00:27:24to, like, play this, like, role.
00:27:26Right.
00:27:27I think drag centers the outsider.
00:27:29Like, all of the things that I felt like were detriments
00:27:33are actually the things in drag that, like,
00:27:36make me the most interesting.
00:27:37Imagine me with a BFA, honey.
00:27:39Way too powerful.
00:27:40Way too powerful.
00:27:41I don't think that Athena with more drama training
00:27:43is what the world needs.
00:27:44I'm literally Gloria Swanson on my everyday life, so.
00:27:49I was so happy that you picked the Mama Bucks role.
00:27:52I know.
00:27:53It's very fitting for you.
00:27:54Her description was mega rich, ruthless,
00:27:58domineering house mother.
00:28:00I was like, I think I have some experience with this.
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:04Maybe not the mega rich part or the ruthless.
00:28:07Oh, don't walk it back now.
00:28:08Depending on, I mean, you could probably ask Juicy
00:28:10or some of my other children if I'm ruthless.
00:28:12Yes.
00:28:12Ooh.
00:28:13I'll just say, like, when I was assisting you in my early years,
00:28:17I would have to remind myself that we're at work
00:28:20and we're not friends right now.
00:28:22Yeah.
00:28:22Because you can be a little ruthless.
00:28:24It does come from a place of love, I'll have to say.
00:28:26It's like there's a mommy role and then there's, like,
00:28:28the show director role.
00:28:30Juicy and I's relationship has a lot of layers.
00:28:35We know things about each other that nobody else knows.
00:28:38And she's had some really dark times and I was there.
00:28:42And so to be in this type of a competition with somebody
00:28:45you're that close to, it's crazy.
00:28:48Can I have mascara?
00:28:50You look great today.
00:28:52I kind of, like, always love a drag queen without a lip.
00:28:56Like, sometimes I literally stop without the lip
00:28:57and I'm like, ooh.
00:28:59Yeah, we gotta get you back in the bars.
00:29:03Not a roser call.
00:29:05Category is Elimination Day.
00:29:08Whoa.
00:29:08Whoa.
00:29:09Bitch.
00:29:10Dun, dun, dun.
00:29:12Dun, dun, dun.
00:29:12Ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:29:30Have a girl.
00:29:31Put the bass in your walk.
00:29:34Head to toe.
00:29:35Let your whole body talk.
00:29:37Yeah!
00:29:39Wow.
00:29:40Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:29:44Mamma Mia, it's Michelle Visage.
00:29:47Michelle, what is your favorite musical?
00:29:50Are you kidding me? I can't answer.
00:29:52That's a gay Sophie's choice.
00:29:54However, I can tell you the gateway drug that made me fall in love.
00:29:58And that was the one and only West Side Story.
00:30:03He puts the D in Damn Yankees.
00:30:06It's Jamal Sims.
00:30:08Do you have a favorite musical?
00:30:10Well, you know, Ru, I love me some Michael Jackson and Diana Ross,
00:30:13so it has to be The Wheels.
00:30:16Ah.
00:30:17He's the music man. It's Benny Blanco.
00:30:21Hi.
00:30:22Now, Benny, I hear you've been in a musical. Is that true?
00:30:25When I was six, I played a girl in The King and I,
00:30:28so I guess I've done drag.
00:30:32This week, we challenged our queens to bring it to the ball
00:30:36in the musical Fanny the Hard Knock Ball.
00:30:41Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
00:30:47And now, the world premiere of Fanny the Hard Knock Ball.
00:30:55Oh, Brandy, as an orphan, I've got questions.
00:30:59Like, who's my drag mother?
00:31:01Who's my drag father?
00:31:03And who gave me this big, fat, juicy, totally natural ass?
00:31:10Will I ever find a home?
00:31:14Maybe.
00:31:16Maybe.
00:31:17A drag house I can call my own?
00:31:20Maybe.
00:31:22Maybe.
00:31:23Do I have the guts to kiss this hard knock life goodbye?
00:31:29Maybe.
00:31:31Maybe.
00:31:33Maybe.
00:31:34Maybe.
00:31:34Maybe.
00:31:36Maybe.
00:31:36Maybe not.
00:31:39Hey, what's this?
00:31:41I'm a Big Buck's annual drag ball for orphans.
00:31:45The winner gets to live at Mama's Mansion on Breezy Street.
00:31:48But when is it?
00:31:50Next Tuesday.
00:31:51Aw, Brandy.
00:31:53I wish you could talk.
00:31:54I said, next Tuesday.
00:31:56Oh, here.
00:31:57It's next Tuesday.
00:31:59Leap it, lizards.
00:32:00This could be the answer to our prayers.
00:32:02Next Tuesday, next Tuesday.
00:32:05I'll see you next Tuesday.
00:32:17Live from the MDR Center for Cultural Appropriation.
00:32:22It's time for the hard knock ball.
00:32:29Ball, ball, bring it to the ball.
00:32:31Leave no crumbs, let's see it all.
00:32:33Stomp that floor, arch that back, snap that band.
00:32:36Clack, clack, clack.
00:32:37Tonight, one lucky orphan will be selected to join our house.
00:32:41The most expensive address in NYC.
00:32:44The house of Big Buck's.
00:32:46Oh, my mama, Big Buck's the richest and the most ruthless woman in the world.
00:32:53I'm Grace Gaultier, and I was an orphan.
00:32:55Until mama took me in.
00:32:58I rocked the finest labels in mama's beauty cage.
00:33:02My wardrobe sheet was I can't speak.
00:33:04I signed an NDA.
00:33:05Category is luscious body, body, body, body, body.
00:33:10Category is luscious queen, luscious queen, luscious queen.
00:33:14Category is town, country, town, country.
00:33:17Town, country, category is C and B theme.
00:33:23I'm last year's winner, Cécile Cartier, and I'm mama's favorite.
00:33:28I'm dripping in pure opulence.
00:33:31These jewels, they cost a ton.
00:33:32But if I shine too bright and steal mama's light, ooh, honey, I'm done.
00:33:36Bring it to the floor.
00:33:37I don't want to see eights.
00:33:38I don't want to see nines.
00:33:39Bitch, I want to see tens.
00:33:41Ball, ball, bring it to the ball.
00:33:42It's starting now.
00:33:43Come on, come off.
00:33:45Stomp that floor.

00:40:03Silence.
00:40:04I've made my decision.

00:40:42Mama big bucks, you're fired!
00:40:45Wait, can she do that?
00:40:47Keep your heart, not steep, your goal.
00:40:50We'd rather have a hand to hold.
00:40:54The house we want ain't filled with bling.
00:40:57It's made with love, that's everything.
00:41:02So if someone flips the bird,
00:41:04tell them,

00:41:37Woo!
00:41:39Woo!
00:41:41Yes!
00:41:45Category is
00:41:47Beige Against the Machine.
00:41:49Up first,
00:41:50Mikey Meeks.
00:41:52Now, who the fuck is Pleather?
00:41:56She's an international supervillain
00:42:00on a mission to paint the world beige.
00:42:02I don't think they expected
00:42:04this type of silhouette from me,
00:42:05but the look is powerful.
00:42:08You say latex,
00:42:09I say slatex.
00:42:12Darlene Mitchell,
00:42:14how tweed it is.
00:42:16I don't know about you,
00:42:18but I think this look
00:42:19could use some shoulder pads.
00:42:20Every type of tweed
00:42:21you could possibly think of,
00:42:23we've got a bunch of different textures
00:42:25who commit to being huge
00:42:27and taking up as much space as possible,
00:42:29vertical and horizontal.
00:42:31You know, thin may be in,
00:42:33but flat is where it's at.
00:42:36Can you please her?
00:42:37From the house of La Beige.
00:42:40This beautiful beige fabric
00:42:43is actually important from Nigeria.
00:42:45It was really important
00:42:46that I highlighted black artists.
00:42:48I am serving you blackness
00:42:50on a platter, honey.
00:42:51You heard of Pam Greer?
00:42:52Uh-huh.
00:42:53This is Tan Greer.
00:42:54Oh.
00:42:55Juicy Love Dion.
00:42:57I've heard of wizard sleaze,
00:42:59but this is ridiculous.
00:43:01I am beige from head to toe.
00:43:05Italian couture make me.
00:43:07I look like I'm from another planet,
00:43:09and that's what I love.
00:43:12Must be jellyfish.
00:43:14Jam don't shake.
00:43:16Athena Dion.
00:43:18Oh, she making it grain.
00:43:21Burlap is not a fabric
00:43:23you would typically think to wear.
00:43:24It's like for potatoes,
00:43:25but I feel so glamorous.
00:43:27Honey, they say to take one thing off
00:43:29before you leave the house.
00:43:30My theory is put one thing on.
00:43:33Add 10, honey.
00:43:34She's the best in her field.
00:43:40Discord Adams.
00:43:44Ten hours later.
00:43:47We'll be right back
00:43:48after a word from our sponsors.
00:43:50Mama, I'm coming.
00:43:51I'm on my way.
00:43:53Anybody want to go get dinner?
00:43:55Sure.
00:43:56This is a departure
00:43:57from the normal punk rock discord.
00:44:00My hair is high fashion.
00:44:02I have on the tightest fitting sequined dress,
00:44:04and this look, it's still me,
00:44:07even though it's not all black.
00:44:08What did Taylor Dane say?
00:44:10What?
00:44:10Don't rush me.
00:44:13Nene Coco.
00:44:15Remember Mac's headroom?
00:44:16Yeah.
00:44:16This is Mac's boardroom.
00:44:20Beige is such a fun challenge.
00:44:22I upcycled a bunch of denim khaki pants
00:44:25and created this vertical pinstripe textile.
00:44:29Executive realness.
00:44:30I'm serving fierce CEO energy.
00:44:34Don't mess with me, fellas.
00:44:36Jane, don't.
00:44:38She's from the Golden Beige of Hollywood.
00:44:40I am giving a recreation
00:44:42of an iconic Mae West costume.
00:44:46The base is beige,
00:44:47but I have branched out through the universe of neutrals,
00:44:52and I am just wiggling my way down the runway.
00:44:55Foxy lady.
00:44:57Faux foxy lady.
00:44:58Faux foxy lady.
00:44:59Faux foxy better dee.
00:45:01Welcome, queens.
00:45:03This week, the Rusical and the runway were fantastic.
00:45:09Still, I've made some decisions.
00:45:14Darlene Mitchell.
00:45:16Nene Coco.
00:45:18Great job this week.
00:45:21You are both safe.
00:45:24You may leave the stage.
00:45:31Queens, you represent the tops and bottoms of the week.
00:45:36Keep in mind, we are splitting hairs because you are all so wonderful.
00:45:42First up, Mikey Meeks.
00:45:44This ensemble.
00:45:46I love it.
00:45:47It kind of feels like an expensive car interior.
00:45:50I have no idea why I feel like that.
00:45:52Yes, your outfit looks like rich Corinthian leather.
00:45:54Yes.
00:45:56You had the hardest job out of everybody tonight.
00:45:59Your character had to go through the biggest journey.
00:46:02You nailed every emotion, and I was there with you the whole time.
00:46:06When I was helping you with the vocals for the girl groups,
00:46:09I remember you saying, yeah, I sing, but you didn't make a thing about it.
00:46:13I didn't know that you could do that.
00:46:14You're not a singer.
00:46:16I am trained in musical theater.
00:46:18It's kind of a passion that I didn't feel like I was good enough in,
00:46:21but now it's cool to have both worlds.
00:46:23You need to do them both.
00:46:25You need to do them both.
00:46:25Yeah.
00:46:26I was blown away by your voice.
00:46:28Also, am I allowed to say I was blown away by the butt, too?
00:46:31Yes!
00:46:32I was blown away by the butt.
00:46:34Oh, okay.
00:46:34I was blown away.
00:46:35When you were dancing, it was incredible.
00:46:37Finny, the show is called Fanny.
00:46:41I heard that you had to fight for this role, and you fought for it. Why?
00:46:47Part of me knew that this was a chance to showcase a skill I haven't done in a very long
00:46:51time.
00:46:51It felt like reclaiming an art form that I didn't feel good enough in.
00:46:56And I felt like there was a lot of power in this type of challenge.
00:46:59I gotta say, tonight was so incredible for you.
00:47:04Just fantastic.
00:47:06Up next, Kenya Pleaser.
00:47:08You look so beautiful.
00:47:10This hair is gorgeous.
00:47:12Just this red lip with this glowing skin is so beautiful.
00:47:16You were the perfect person to open up the ball.
00:47:20The understanding of the ballroom scene, I could hear it in your vocal.
00:47:24I will say, some of the lip sync was a little questionable.
00:47:27And I think it only happened when you were thinking about choreography.
00:47:30That was a small little bit of nitpicking.
00:47:34But the charisma.
00:47:35It was crazy.
00:47:37The whole rest of the play just disappeared when you came out.
00:47:40You were fantastic.
00:47:41And again, we're splitting hairs.
00:47:43But you were marvelous.
00:47:44Up next, Juicy Love Dion.
00:47:46Beige is probably not one of my favorite colors.
00:47:49But somehow, I want to go buy a beige suit right now and put it on.
00:47:52Are you like a professional dancer?
00:47:54Nah, really professional.
00:47:56I love how everyone just tries to downplay themselves.
00:47:58They're like, no, I don't sing.
00:48:00I'm just like Broadway-level singer.
00:48:02In this situation with her grand personality, Kenya dominated you.
00:48:07You were great.
00:48:08You were wonderful.
00:48:09You just got a little out shown.
00:48:11Some of the other duos, they were a little bit more connected together.
00:48:15You hit all the marks.
00:48:16You did all the technique in terms of infusing your character with a point of view.
00:48:21That's what was missing.
00:48:23There were moments when you would scoot down your skirt.
00:48:26That was like, oh, she's that girl.
00:48:27But that was the only time I felt that the character came through behind your eyes.
00:48:34Athena Dion.
00:48:35This to me, I love this because this is like drags.
00:48:39Hello.
00:48:40That's the way Athena Dion does drag.
00:48:42And I like that.
00:48:43Big Mama Bucks.
00:48:45What a fun role.
00:48:46But the same thing happened to you that happened with Juicy.
00:48:50There were some moments that you were really locked in and I got it.
00:48:53And then there were some moments that you were just kind of reading what was on the screen.
00:48:57I don't need anything but you.
00:49:00Yeah, and it is a tough role where you're like the most important, but then you have to like disappear.
00:49:04And then you got to be important again, then disappear.
00:49:06What I loved about you is that I don't think that ballroom dance is really in your wheelhouse.
00:49:12Not really, no.
00:49:13You were able to take on the challenge.
00:49:15But if you don't let it show in your face, the world won't know.
00:49:18Right.
00:49:19And again, I said this.
00:49:20We are splitting hairs because you are all fantastic.
00:49:26Up next, Discord Adams.
00:49:29Well, Discord, here we are.
00:49:31You struggle with walking.
00:49:32So when you had to dance in like a funky rap duo, I was like, oh shit.
00:49:42I'm sweating.
00:49:43Like literally, I had like beads.
00:49:45I was like, oh my gosh, come on Discord.
00:49:47And you did it.
00:49:49When you guys came out together, you actually felt like a duo.
00:49:52Like it felt like it gelled and it was working.
00:49:54And then tonight, I'm not sure what this is.
00:49:57You know, I'm still trying to figure it out.
00:49:59But it is glamorous.
00:50:00And something about the hair, I'm really loving.
00:50:03You do look gorgeous.
00:50:04It looks like you're paying homage to the great Hollywood lawn.
00:50:07And we talked about matching energy.
00:50:10You both matched energies.
00:50:11It was really, really fun.
00:50:13Alright, Jane Doan.
00:50:14Tonight, yes.
00:50:16Like you look so hot.
00:50:17This collar that goes on forever and frames you perfectly.
00:50:21The jewels, it was amazing.
00:50:23Miss Shenanigans, this role is iconic.
00:50:27You had said that you had sung and you were a theater kid.
00:50:31You proved it.
00:50:32It was perfection.
00:50:34There was physical comedy.
00:50:36There's choreography in there.
00:50:37You came on that stage and ripped it.
00:50:41I'm not a huge dancer, so I, we got through it.
00:50:44You did it.
00:50:45I mean, the vocals, everything.
00:50:47Well done tonight.
00:50:48Well done.
00:50:51Thank you, Queens.
00:50:52I think we've heard enough.
00:50:53While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
00:50:58Alright, now just between us girlfriends, what do you think?
00:51:01Let's start with Mikey Meeks.
00:51:03First of all, wanting that role shows that you want it all.
00:51:07It shows you want everything.
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:08Like she sang like one, two, like she sang a million songs.
00:51:12You could tell that imposter syndrome was just in there for the girl group.
00:51:15But you know what?
00:51:16She said, uh-uh, see you later.
00:51:19I loved her performance.
00:51:21And then tonight on the runway, I thought she looked beautiful.
00:51:23It was a real like clear point of view.
00:51:26Kind of looked like the inside of a Volvo in the chicest way possible.
00:51:30I loved it.
00:51:30I thought she came with the goods.
00:51:32Yeah.
00:51:32Alright, Kenya Pleaser.
00:51:33She really kicked the door open when she walked on stage.
00:51:37You felt the energy and you felt like she really made it her own and worked the room.
00:51:43I thought she looked beautiful.
00:51:44I really love this hair that she had on tonight.
00:51:47You know, it gave me power to the people, which I always love.
00:51:49Let's talk about Juicy.
00:51:50Tonight on the runway, I thought this was beautiful.
00:51:53There was so much to look at that it was only a tad too busy.
00:51:56I saw amazing dancers.
00:51:57I didn't get a sense of her personality through what was happening.
00:52:01It was much more low key than Kenya was.
00:52:04Kenya ate her up.
00:52:05She's a beautiful kid and she's a hard worker.
00:52:08But there needed to be more of an editorialized point of view.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14Athena Dion.
00:52:15I loved her outfit.
00:52:16The floral piece was crazy enough.
00:52:18And then the wheat, whatever the wheat was coming out of it.
00:52:20She crushed it.
00:52:21She crushed it.
00:52:22Athena had the right role.
00:52:23The issue was, Athena didn't really understand what she needed to do all the time.
00:52:30Mm-hmm.
00:52:31Tonight when the dance started happening, I could see the fear.
00:52:34If she were to do this next week, she would have found those moments.
00:52:39Tonight, not as great as she would be even tomorrow.
00:52:42Discord Adams.
00:52:44I was a little nervous.
00:52:46But I was really proud of what she was able to achieve.
00:52:49I wasn't sure what the linguine of it all was.
00:52:54But that strut out with those little tiny steps going out.
00:52:58Only Discord could have did that.
00:53:00And I'm with it.
00:53:01Jane, don't.
00:53:02Carol Burnett actually is one of my big inspirations.
00:53:05I love Carol Burnett.
00:53:07And I was really hoping that she would kind of embody some of that.
00:53:11And then she put Jane Doan on top of it.
00:53:13Mm-hmm.
00:53:14So it actually made it even better.
00:53:16And then she wants to give us that runway.
00:53:20Right.
00:53:20I would buy a ticket front row to any show that she is in.
00:53:24Yeah.
00:53:25Yes.
00:53:26Silence.
00:53:27I've made my decision.
00:53:29Bring back my girls.
00:53:32Welcome back, queens.
00:53:33I've made some decisions.
00:53:38Mikey Meeks.
00:53:40Your fanny was simply astounding.
00:53:46Jane Don't.
00:53:47Your 11 o'clock number was right on time.
00:53:54Jane Don't, congratulations.
00:53:57You're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:53:59Thank you so much.
00:54:02You've won a cash tip of $5,000.
00:54:06This is my second win.
00:54:08We are off the plateau, baby.
00:54:10I am over the moon.
00:54:11Mikey, you are safe to slay another day.
00:54:15You may both join the other girls.
00:54:25Do you see love Dion.
00:54:26You are one fierce dancer, but your acting did not bring the house down.
00:54:34Athena Dion.
00:54:35Your performance was rich, but you didn't own everything.
00:54:41I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
00:54:52Can you please her?
00:54:54Discord Adams. You're safe.
00:54:59The position I'm in right now is having the one thing
00:55:02I've wanted more than anything in my life
00:55:04standing right in front of me,
00:55:05and the one person that means the most to me in my life
00:55:08standing between that.
00:55:16Baby, I love you with all my life,
00:55:18and I know she loves me with all of hers,
00:55:20but one of us is only going to come out of this alive.
00:55:23Two queens, stand before me.
00:55:26Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare
00:55:29a lip sync performance of Call Me When You Break Up
00:55:33by Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, and Gracie Abrams.
00:55:40The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:55:53Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
00:55:58Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
00:56:02Or is not available.
00:56:04At the tone, please record your message.
00:56:06Call me when you break up.
00:56:09Call me when you break up.
00:56:09I wanna be the first one on your mind when you wake up.
00:56:13I miss the way we stay up.
00:56:15We talk about forever when I'm taking off my makeup.
00:56:19Call me when you break up.
00:56:22And maybe for a time, I could have the space they take up.
00:56:25I make you forget what the name comes.
00:56:28And when you're feeling down, I could show you what you're made of.
00:56:32Call me when you break up.
00:56:38Go!
00:56:39Call me when you break up.
00:56:45I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it.
00:56:50This is one of those moments that I just have to let go.
00:56:52No thoughts, just feeling.
00:56:55Call me when you break up.
00:56:57I'm battling the lack of this.
00:56:59I've looked for medication.
00:57:00Tried every obvious replacement.
00:57:03In bars and strangers' beds until my faith was in the basement.
00:57:07Won't you call me when you break up?
00:57:10I feel so out of luck.
00:57:11I'm skipping cracks along the pavement.
00:57:13Look, I'm emotionally bankrupt.
00:57:16We're so meant for each other.
00:57:18I mean, God, when will you wake up?
00:57:20Wake up.
00:57:21Call me when you break up.
00:57:23This song itself carries such a message of,
00:57:26you have your person that you fall back on.
00:57:28And Athena definitely is that for me, so...
00:57:31I don't know why it's so hard.
00:57:33I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it.
00:57:38I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it.
00:57:42I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it.
00:57:44I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it.
00:57:45Oh, you picked up, um...
00:57:46Call me when you break up.
00:57:49Unless you found the person that you want a new name from.
00:57:52I'd like to be there when the day comes.
00:57:55You know I'm always here, so don't ever be a stranger.
00:58:15This is too much, this is too much.
00:58:20Queens, I've made my decision.
00:58:27Juicy love Dion, Shantae you stay.
00:58:34You may join the other girls.
00:58:41I love you so much.
00:58:48Athena, thank goddess we got to know you.
00:58:52Now, sashay away.
00:58:56Thank you for this opportunity and for this world you've created for all of us.
00:59:00I'm eternally grateful.
00:59:05Thank you so much.
00:59:08May your Prosecco always be on ice.
00:59:11May you always fly first.
00:59:14Always settle for more.
00:59:16And never accept any less.
00:59:20I love you.
00:59:21I love you.
00:59:24Well, that's a wrap folks.
00:59:27The Greek goddess has sashayed away.
00:59:30This is probably the toughest thing I've ever had to do.
00:59:33Juicy is like a piece of my heart that lives outside of my body.
00:59:44We have shared so much together.
00:59:46And I'm so proud of her.
00:59:51And as long as she's still in the game, I'm still in the game.
00:59:54And she's going to bring that crown home.
01:00:02Condragulations, queens.
01:00:03And remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell you're going to love somebody else?
01:00:07Can I get an amen up in here?
01:00:08Amen.
01:00:09All right, now let the music play.
01:00:29Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race, please welcome back to the competition.
01:00:33No, do not prank you girls.
01:00:36It moves beautifully.
01:00:40It shimmers all in the right way.
01:00:42You have done a miraculous job on it.
01:00:45I'm not the judge.
01:00:46It's not my opinion that matters.
01:00:47Discord, I thought it was your time tonight.
01:00:49Same.
01:01:02Groan and
01:01:07Few more
01:01:08How you do
01:01:11Thank you
01:01:15People
01:01:16You're not like other bitches
01:01:19And show me something different
