00:00:01Oh my god.
00:00:03What the fuck?
00:00:04What just happened?
00:00:05What just happened?
00:00:06Wow.
00:00:06I need...
00:00:07Wow.
00:00:08Wowzer.
00:00:09I'm speechless.
00:00:10We're back in the workroom after that shit show of an elimination.
00:00:14What just happened? I am shook.
00:00:17Witches unite.
00:00:18Fancy a slice.
00:00:19Fancy a slice.
00:00:21Whoa.
00:00:21You girlies are going to have to fill me in because I missed something.
00:00:25At what point did you notice?
00:00:26Someone shouted sister behind and cheered me on and then I turned round and realised that I had the entire
00:00:31stage to myself.
00:00:32I was gagged.
00:00:33I shouted.
00:00:34I was pissed off.
00:00:36You pissed off, she tapped out.
00:00:38Yes.
00:00:39You're Ginny Lemon.
00:00:40You're so funny and so bizarre and so unique and you've just thrown it in.
00:00:46I was gunning for it.
00:00:47You won a challenge.
00:00:48I smashed it though.
00:00:49It's disrespectful to the other performer.
00:00:51I was up there.
00:00:51I don't know if I'm now in this competition by default or if I actually would have won the lip
00:00:58sync.
00:00:59Now we'll never know.
00:01:00That pisses me off a little bit.
00:01:01Thinking about Ginny's departure.
00:01:03Yeah.
00:01:03I'm not going to lie though.
00:01:04I don't think she deserved to be in that lip sync.
00:01:06No.
00:01:07No, you thought I did.
00:01:08Yeah, I did.
00:01:09Yeah, you insisted.
00:01:10You thought I deserved to go home.
00:01:11I think your look definitely, your look definitely saved you.
00:01:13You deserved to lip sync.
00:01:14But I think you deserved to lip sync.
00:01:15When it comes down to that.
00:01:16My look saved me.
00:01:21Well, I'm still here.
00:01:23Mm-hmm.
00:01:23And I'm hoping to be here to the very end.
00:01:26Bitches beware.
00:01:28You don't know me.
00:01:29I've proved myself once and I can prove myself again.
00:01:33Oh, you're a cocky slag, aren't you?
00:01:34I'm not cocky.
00:01:35I'm not cocky at all.
00:01:37Er, no.
00:01:38I'm confident and I know myself worth.
00:01:40There's a difference, love.
00:01:42I'm just sick of being passed over.
00:01:45No one's passing you over.
00:01:46It was the challenge.
00:01:47At the end of the day, you and sister were the worst this week.
00:01:49And we wanted to see who was going to lip sync and who was going to be in the world.
00:01:52Well, clearly I wasn't the worst this week.
00:01:54It was sister and Ginny, according to the judges.
00:01:58Did I call you shit?
00:01:59No.
00:01:59Did I underestimate you?
00:02:00No.
00:02:00Did I overlook you?
00:02:01No.
00:02:01But what I did call her was a cocky slag.
00:02:03And you know why?
00:02:04Because she is.
00:02:05I'm putting it out there.
00:02:06It's the truth, Ruth.
00:02:08Deal with it.
00:02:09But here we are.
00:02:11Mm-hmm.
00:02:12We've all got different opinions, you know what I mean?
00:02:14Like if I was judging it, it would have been a different bottom too.
00:02:17If I was judging it, a whore might have won.
00:02:18One thing I will say.
00:02:19If I was judging it, I'd have finished my sentence.
00:02:22No, finish the sentence then.
00:02:24No, no, no.
00:02:25If you're going to get that butt hurt, you should probably finish the sentence then.
00:02:28No, do you know what?
00:02:29Like what?
00:02:30What?
00:02:30Excuse me.
00:02:31Oh.
00:02:33I've never heard of you.
00:02:34What's going on?
00:02:37What is going on?
00:02:39My dear queens, in light of the rapidly changing coronavirus situation, we must cease filming
00:02:47immediately.
00:02:49Drag queens know a thing or two about survival, so stay safe.
00:02:54And I pray we'll be back together soon, even stronger than before.
00:03:01For now, with my love, sashay away.
00:03:09All this?
00:03:11For me?
00:03:12Oh, you didn't have to.
00:03:14We're back!
00:03:17Do you carry a lunchbox?
00:03:18I do.
00:03:19I've recharged my batteries and I've had time to develop and evolve.
00:03:24I'm ready to fight.
00:03:26Just me.
00:03:27The only one we need here.
00:03:29Oh!
00:03:30Where are the bitches?
00:03:33Hiya!
00:03:34Hiya!
00:03:34Hiya!
00:03:35Hiya!
00:03:35It's like a lot of fun.
00:03:35It feels weird being back in the workroom because when lockdown first happened we thought
00:03:39it was gonna be a few weeks and it ended up being seven months.
00:03:42Miss Rona is a bitch.
00:03:44Oh my God, you look so different.
00:03:46Oh, so good.
00:03:47Just a little nip and toss.
00:03:48Oh, welcome back.
00:03:49I know.
00:03:50It's like a school reunion.
00:03:51I'm ready to be back.
00:03:53I know, it feels like all stars, right?
00:03:54But we're all skinned?
00:03:55Yeah, we're all skinned.
00:03:57Hello!
00:03:58Hiya!
00:03:58Miss Rona!
00:03:59Oh my goodness!
00:04:01I am so excited to be back and to see all the other girls.
00:04:04and get these challenges going so they can all go back home.
00:04:08How have we all been though?
00:04:09Yeah, up and down, but since stuff opened up and I was working again, I was very happy.
00:04:13Yeah, well you guys were able to work, we weren't.
00:04:15I know.
00:04:15There was like no live performances at all.
00:04:17Really?
00:04:18Yeah, not even like in the park lot or nothing like that.
00:04:20Really?
00:04:20So was you back at the drive-thru?
00:04:21I was just back in the drive-thru.
00:04:22Any sauces?
00:04:23Any sauces?
00:04:26Oh, sorry, sorry I'm late.
00:04:28I missed my train, there was a leaf on the line.
00:04:31I'm nervous because Lawrence, you've had seven months off and you've done no drag performing,
00:04:37no anything.
00:04:38Have you still got it?
00:04:39Are you going to fall at the first hurdle?
00:04:42What's going to happen?
00:04:44JK.
00:04:44Hello, hello.
00:04:46I was going to wear them as earrings, but I thought not.
00:04:49You should wear them as nipples.
00:04:50One on each neck.
00:04:51That's the goal, hopefully four badges pasties as well.
00:04:54The awful nipples.
00:04:57Oh wow, I absolutely love what they've done with this face.
00:05:01This is a total rebirth for Sister Sister.
00:05:05I pressed reset, I'm feeling galvanized.
00:05:08Ugh, bring it on.
00:05:10Have you had teeth done?
00:05:11No.
00:05:12Let's see.
00:05:13Look at them look like little tic tacs.
00:05:15What is it, a flipper?
00:05:16Cheeky flip.
00:05:16It's me TVT.
00:05:17Oh my god.
00:05:19What else have you had done?
00:05:20Because you look tight.
00:05:21Oh, I'm sure we'll get into it, babe.
00:05:22Trust the horror to notice, of all people, judgmental little cow.
00:05:27Few of us have there been on nip-tuck.
00:05:29I've definitely been.
00:05:30Yeah, it was like walking back into an episode of Botched.
00:05:33For me, it's just been embarrassing bawdies.
00:05:40Oh my god.
00:05:41Chucky!
00:05:42That was a fun couple of months.
00:05:44Let's go!
00:05:46Oh my god.
00:05:47Did you miss me?
00:05:48I missed you.
00:05:50Housemate, nice to see you.
00:05:52During lockdown, me and Tace ended up moving in with each other.
00:05:55I live with a horror now.
00:05:57Crazy.
00:05:58Started the competition as neighbours and now housemates.
00:06:00Can you believe?
00:06:01It's nuts, but it's real.
00:06:02How's that sexual tension?
00:06:04Oh my god, Lawrence, you need to wind your neck in, girl.
00:06:08For seven months, I've been writing all the fan fiction you can imagine about you two.
00:06:13That went out, haven't you, over us?
00:06:14Mmm.
00:06:16Tace kind of looks a wee bit like Spider-Man.
00:06:18Fair game, babes.
00:06:20I'm sure you shot all your webs over a whore over lockdown.
00:06:23So it's fine.
00:06:24It's just good that you're back.
00:06:26Oh my god, it is finally happening.
00:06:33I'm fucking up the rule of six, aren't I?
00:06:34Sorry about that.
00:06:35A few people are looking a little bit different after lockdown.
00:06:39I mean, I kept my hair the same for continuity purposes.
00:06:42But that's a new nose.
00:06:44New cheeks.
00:06:45New teeth.
00:06:46Who dis?
00:06:47I feel like it's given me such a massive break that I've sort of come back in.
00:06:52Maybe less neurotic and panicked than I was the first time.
00:06:57Erotic, not neurotic.
00:06:59What I'm hoping for is that everyone has absolutely brought their A-game back.
00:07:03Indeed.
00:07:04Indeed.
00:07:04No excuses.
00:07:05Need a fucking badge, because Miss fucking Hamburgl over here is taking them off.
00:07:10So we're only waiting for Veronica.
00:07:12Where is she?
00:07:12She's taking a sweet-ass time.
00:07:14That's what she's doing.
00:07:14She's doing her.
00:07:15Yes, she is.
00:07:16Hello, hello, hello.
00:07:21Jenny's let it glow up.
00:07:23There's still no Veronica.
00:07:25What is going on?
00:07:26I can't tell you how happy I am to see you.
00:07:32Alright, first, some news.
00:07:35Veronica Green has tested positive for the coronavirus.
00:07:40She won't be joining us for this series.
00:07:44We love you, Pichu.
00:07:46I am absolutely devastated.
00:07:50I'm heartbroken for her.
00:07:52To hear that she's not coming back, it's completely thrown me off.
00:07:56We send her our love and an open invitation to return to the competition next series.
00:08:02Period.
00:08:02Oh my gosh.
00:08:06We don't have the greatest relationship.
00:08:08But it's hard to see anyone leave the competition that way.
00:08:11But I know she's a force to be reckoned with.
00:08:13And when it's her time, she's gonna conquer.
00:08:15But the show must go on.
00:08:17And this, ladies, is your welcome back party.
00:08:22But a party ain't a party without entertainment.
00:08:27Oh, really?
00:08:28Oh, Britch Crew!
00:08:35Animals?
00:08:36I need no animals at this party.
00:08:38What am I, seven?
00:08:39I want men!
00:08:42Must be hot with those masks on.
00:08:44I've got an idea.
00:08:46Why don't you take them off?
00:08:50Take them off!
00:08:51Take them off!
00:08:52Take them off!
00:08:54Oh!
00:08:57Yay!
00:08:58Woo!
00:08:59Yay!
00:09:00Woo!
00:09:01Oh my God!
00:09:02Yay!
00:09:03Wow.
00:09:06Good drama.
00:09:07Surprise queen!
00:09:09I enjoyed that.
00:09:10Look who we have here.
00:09:12It's Joe Black.
00:09:14Yay!
00:09:15Sherry Valentine.
00:09:16Yay!
00:09:17And Astina Mandela.
00:09:20I loved it.
00:09:20We are bringing back one of our eliminated queens to the competition.
00:09:27The time.
00:09:29And there will be no slice of lemon, as Ginny Lemon chose to take herself out of the competition.
00:09:35Ginny ain't coming up in here because she's not ready to have her.
00:09:41And it's up to you to decide who deserves a second chance.
00:09:48Oh my God.
00:09:51Not this.
00:09:53Put those masks back on and sling your hook.
00:09:56Hashtag Drag Race UK.
00:09:59All right, let's start with Joe Black.
00:10:02Time to make your case.
00:10:04So much blood, sweat and tears went into joining this competition.
00:10:07And I think I deserve the chance to show everyone how unique and wonderful and everything I've got to give.
00:10:15Because I have so much more to give.
00:10:19Thank you, Joe.
00:10:20Now, Sherry Valentine.
00:10:21Coupled with leaving and working as a nurse over the pandemic has really made me put things into perspective.
00:10:27I deserve to be here more than anything else.
00:10:29To be the best, you have to beat the best.
00:10:32And I believe right now that I'm the best.
00:10:33So, beat me.
00:10:36Thank you, Sherry.
00:10:38And finally, Astina Mandela.
00:10:41I deserve to be here.
00:10:42Over the whole time off, we don't just grow.
00:10:45I evolved.
00:10:46I'm a different drag queen than I was before.
00:10:48And I would love to have my place back in this competition.
00:10:51And it's up to you, girls.
00:10:53Love ya.
00:10:54All right, Judge Judy's.
00:10:56You've heard the evidence.
00:10:57Now the power lies in your hands.
00:11:01Now please write just one name on the hand mirrors provided.
00:11:12All right, ladies.
00:11:13Time to reveal which queen you voted for and why.
00:11:18All right, reveal.
00:11:20Joe Black.
00:11:21As first out, like, I feel like you have a lot more to show.
00:11:24I voted with my heart.
00:11:26And I voted for Joe.
00:11:30One of you didn't get to show as much as I hoped you would have.
00:11:34Baby girl, I'm with Joe.
00:11:37Three for Joe so far.
00:11:39I have to also go with my heart.
00:11:41And I chose Astina.
00:11:44I had to go with my heart and loyalties.
00:11:49And I chose my sister Astina.
00:11:53Astina.
00:11:54All right, so that's three for Joe and two for Astina.
00:11:58I had to vote for someone that I think is so unique and so talented that I want to compete
00:12:04against.
00:12:04And I am choosing Joe Black.
00:12:07Oh, well, that is the majority of votes.
00:12:11Joe is coming back to the competition.
00:12:13Ooh, congratulations.
00:12:15Welcome back.
00:12:16Joe Black is back, back, back again.
00:12:20Taze, we'd love to know who you voted for.
00:12:23I also went with Joe Black.
00:12:25Well, congratulations, Joe.
00:12:28You may join your fellow competitors.
00:12:31Walk to the line elephant first.
00:12:34Walk to the line elephant first.
00:12:36Terry and Astina, I'm sorry, my dears, but this is not your time.
00:12:41But don't worry, you won't be leaving empty-handed.
00:12:45You're both receiving a special party bag, which includes a two-night getaway at the luxurious Lalit Hotel in London.
00:12:54Ooh.
00:12:55Terry and Astina, you are and will always be my legendary children.
00:13:02Now, sashay away.
00:13:04Thank you, my love.
00:13:05Thank you, guys.
00:13:06Bye, baby.
00:13:10It's really sad to see both Terry and Astina leave again.
00:13:12But at the same time, I'm thinking, fuck, it's always a tough competition.
00:13:18Ladies, in difficult times, music has always helped to keep the kingdom united.
00:13:22So, for this week's maxi challenge, you'll be representing the UK in the first ever RuruVision song contest.
00:13:33Just when you thought Eurovision couldn't get any gayer, it's RuruVision.
00:13:39Working in two groups, you'll record a song written especially for the occasion.
00:13:44It's called UK Hunt.
00:13:47Yay!
00:13:50Listen, this is my challenge.
00:13:53I can sing, I can dance, I'm in a girl group, and I love a bit of Europop.
00:13:58You need to write your own solo lyrics, style a hot Europop look, and work together to create your own
00:14:05group choreography.
00:14:07Yay!
00:14:08Fuck my life!
00:14:11I've not waited seven months to come back here and do a singing and dancing challenge.
00:14:18Joe Black, as our returning queen, you are a team captain.
00:14:24Ooh, okay.
00:14:25And Lawrence Chaney, as the winner of the last maxi challenge, you'll be the other team captain.
00:14:32Ooh.
00:14:33Okay.
00:14:35If I have a strong team, we could make something happen.
00:14:39I just don't want to be the weakest one out of the team.
00:14:43Joe Black, you choose first.
00:14:45Okay.
00:14:47Tea of coffee.
00:14:49Yes!
00:14:51Bimini Bomboulash.
00:14:54Sister, sister!
00:14:55Oh me, stop.
00:15:00Taste.
00:15:02What is this?
00:15:03That leaves Ahura and Ellie Diamond.
00:15:06What's that, bub?
00:15:08Ellie Diamond.
00:15:09Oh me.
00:15:10Come here.
00:15:11Ellie the elephant.
00:15:14Oh my god.
00:15:15She had a face like a donkey's binge.
00:15:17It was sour.
00:15:19Sour, girl.
00:15:21Which means Ahura.
00:15:24You are on team Lawrence Chaney.
00:15:27Come on, girl.
00:15:28Woo!
00:15:28Come on, roomie.
00:15:30Click, click.
00:15:32Racers.
00:15:33Start your engines.
00:15:35And may the best drag queen win.
00:15:38Yay!
00:15:40Sight ladies.
00:15:41Welcome back.
00:15:42It's you.
00:15:44Well, thank you very much for voting me back, ladies.
00:15:46I've had a very peaceful seven months rest.
00:15:49And I am back.
00:15:50I am galvanized.
00:15:51In the words of Britain's most famous woman back of chips.
00:15:55I feel alright.
00:15:57Also, very happy with this group pairing.
00:16:00Very happy with this group pairing.
00:16:02It's Eurovision and I wanted camp, camp, camp.
00:16:05And that's why I've got the people I have.
00:16:08Let's have a listen.
00:16:10Three, two, one.
00:16:11Go.
00:16:16What was that?
00:16:17She's just getting into it, you know.
00:16:19Yeah.
00:16:20Oh my god.
00:16:20What a camp hole buff this is.
00:16:22I mean, hey.
00:16:23This is very Eurovision vibes.
00:16:25I mean, it's camp to the team with the capital C-A-M-P, darling.
00:16:27Yes.
00:16:28Let's make some magic, girls.
00:16:30I'm excited.
00:16:30Let's do it.
00:16:31We should come up with a group name first.
00:16:32Well, we want something fun and sexy and cute.
00:16:35What's a Eurovision?
00:16:36I feel like maybe we are kind of Spice Girls-y because we've all got our own little flavour.
00:16:40I feel like that's the route we should go down.
00:16:42Like banana drama.
00:16:44I like banana drama.
00:16:45Banana drama feels a bit me.
00:16:47I enjoy a bit of potassium with some theatrics, so.
00:16:52Banana drama is done.
00:16:54Sorry, I'm the team leader.
00:16:54Yeah, I love that.
00:16:56That's it.
00:16:56That's decided.
00:16:57We need to think of a name.
00:16:59All Sinners.
00:16:59Girls not allowed.
00:17:01Who else is there?
00:17:02I don't want to do the whole group pitch take.
00:17:05I feel like it's already been done.
00:17:06We're also representing in the UK.
00:17:09We're more like the United King dolls or something.
00:17:12Oh my god, I love that.
00:17:13I like that.
00:17:14I like that.
00:17:15Oh my god, I love that.
00:17:15Let's do it.
00:17:16Are you being serious?
00:17:17No, I actually love that.
00:17:19That's really good.
00:17:19I like it.
00:17:20Dotted.
00:17:21What's the vibe of everyone's look?
00:17:23I had a pink velvet dress.
00:17:25I've got pink.
00:17:26I've got purple and pink.
00:17:27Mine is so basic.
00:17:29It's like high neck, velvet, slightly puffy sleeve, long sleeve and then like mini dress.
00:17:34I could hurt when we all piece stuff together.
00:17:39Look at the other group.
00:17:41It's the golden girls featuring their young friend, Ellie Diamond.
00:17:47What are the golden girls going to kill us with?
00:17:49Cat piss?
00:17:50This group has variety.
00:17:52Yeah, we do.
00:17:53We have the fashions, we have rapping ability, we have humour, we have beauty, we have grace.
00:17:58And what is Lawrence going to do when the other three tell him that they're all wearing bikinis?
00:18:03Team Joe is campers tits and that's what Eurovision's all about.
00:18:07Team Lawrence, this is not a competition to find the next pussycat doll, you dickheads.
00:18:17Hey ladies.
00:18:18Hi.
00:18:19Have you come up with a group name yet?
00:18:20Yeah.
00:18:21What is it?
00:18:22Banana Drama.
00:18:23Banana Drama.
00:18:24I love it.
00:18:26So, Joe Black, you're back.
00:18:27I'm back.
00:18:30Yeah, so I'm glad to be here and being able to show a little more me, hopefully a lot more
00:18:35me.
00:18:35Yeah.
00:18:36So Tia Coffey, you got a little teared up when you heard that your best Judy was not going
00:18:41to be returning to the competition.
00:18:44To be honest, I've really relied on Veronica through the competition to sort of like G me
00:18:49up and to know that she's not here is difficult, but also we've had this massive break and that's
00:18:54enough time for me to G myself up, zhuzh myself up and remember that it's a competition and
00:19:00I'm going to make sure I bring it to the table more than I did the first time.
00:19:04Yeah.
00:19:05Ellie Diamond.
00:19:06Hello.
00:19:07What is your secret weapon in this challenge?
00:19:09Me and Tia both like sing and dance as a part of the act.
00:19:13Joe sings incredibly and sister has no teeth, so it's great.
00:19:18Exactly.
00:19:19So if all else fails, we'll take him out and play him like maracas.
00:19:23I love it.
00:19:24I love it.
00:19:25True.
00:19:25He totally got it.
00:19:27He was hook, line and sink.
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:29Perfect.
00:19:30Just hand us the win.
00:19:32Hello, ladies.
00:19:33Hi.
00:19:34Laurence Channing.
00:19:35Hi, babe.
00:19:36So what's the name of your team?
00:19:37It is the United King Dolls.
00:19:40I love that.
00:19:41United King Dolls.
00:19:43Yes.
00:19:43What are those initials?
00:19:44U-K-D.
00:19:46Yes.
00:19:46I want some of that.
00:19:47U-K-D.
00:19:49Oh, yes.
00:19:51Ohora, do you sing?
00:19:52Uh, no.
00:19:54I mean, I like to think I can, but I'm more of like just a spoken word.
00:19:58Yeah.
00:19:59Yeah, you know.
00:19:59There's some rappers here.
00:20:01I can't sing.
00:20:02I can't dance.
00:20:04And I don't perform it.
00:20:05I mean, I have got this in the bag.
00:20:09And just note that that bag is designer as well.
00:20:12Wow.
00:20:12Now, taste, are you going to add that spectacle?
00:20:15Yeah, like we want it to be like quite well-rounded.
00:20:16You know, we've got a bit of fierce, a bit of campery, because we want it to be all one
00:20:19note.
00:20:20You know, we've got a lot of, I think we've got quite a good mixed bag here.
00:20:22I love it.
00:20:23Well, that is what I'm going to be looking for.
00:20:25Thank you, ladies.
00:20:26And we'll see you out at Ruru Vision.
00:20:28Yay!
00:20:28Thanks for that.
00:20:29Thanks, Ru.
00:20:30Alright, listen up, ladies.
00:20:31Ladies, listen up.
00:20:32Now, in a moment, you'll head to the main stage, where you'll record your track with one of our favourite
00:20:39UK Huns, the red-hot MNEK.
00:20:43Yay!
00:20:44Oh my God.
00:20:46So good luck, and don't fuck it up.
00:20:50Thanks, Ru.
00:20:56Not good memories of this place.
00:20:58Hello, dear.
00:20:59I'm fine.
00:21:00I'm fine.
00:21:00I'm well.
00:21:01Now it's time to record our track.
00:21:03UK Hun.
00:21:05No, but are you a K Hun?
00:21:06Are you, are you K?
00:21:08I'm MNEK.
00:21:09Ian's over here.
00:21:11Hello.
00:21:11Today, we are recording UK Hun.
00:21:14Yeah.
00:21:15Sister, sister.
00:21:15Let's do this thing.
00:21:16Now, riddle me this.
00:21:17How are you feeling about, um, singing?
00:21:19Are you, do you sing at all?
00:21:21I can hold a note.
00:21:23Yeah.
00:21:23I'm being modest.
00:21:24I'm fucking great.
00:21:25The biggest challenge is, can I wrap that fast with these giant teeth?
00:21:29I never let a slip.
00:21:31Gonna shoot from the hip stiletto to the metal.
00:21:32And gee, bitch.
00:21:34Turns out, yeah.
00:21:35I can.
00:21:37Yeah.
00:21:38Yeah.
00:21:38He knows.
00:21:39Oh, good for me.
00:21:41Very good for you.
00:21:42Ellie Designers.
00:21:44Hey, in Scotland is where I stay.
00:21:45Let me drop this verse I'm about to slay.
00:21:47I am living my pop star Hannah Montana.
00:21:51This is what things are made of.
00:21:52Fantasy right now.
00:21:54UK Hun.
00:21:55Joe, what's your, actually, what is your, like, vocal experience?
00:22:00I sing, but it's very, like, you know, laying on a piano with a martini, like, kind of, you know.
00:22:05Did I ever think I was going to be in a pop group?
00:22:08No.
00:22:08Did I ever think I was going to be in a Eurovision-themed pop group?
00:22:12Absolutely fucking not.
00:22:13With my girl band Zigga Ziggar, know what you're thinking?
00:22:17Glenn Close But No Ciggar.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:20Only point out, can the cigar run quicker?
00:22:23Like, Glenn Close But No Ciggar.
00:22:25Yeah, I can try that.
00:22:26Glenn Close No Ciggar.
00:22:29Glenn Close But No Ciggar.
00:22:33That's it.
00:22:34Glenn Close But No Ciggar.
00:22:36Glenn Close But No Ciggar.
00:22:39That's it.
00:22:41That's all you need to do, babe.
00:22:42Cigar.
00:22:43Glenn Close But No Ciggar.
00:22:46Did I do what you said, then, or did I just entirely make something else up?
00:22:49You did what you did before I asked you to do what you were supposed to do.
00:22:52Glenn Close But No Ciggar.
00:22:56Alright, let's move on.
00:23:00Good effort.
00:23:0210 points for trying.
00:23:06I've had the opportunity to sing already in this competition, so now I'm gonna turn my
00:23:11hand to a bit of rap, and I am a straight-up rapstress.
00:23:16I'ma take the crown, just wait, and I'll show ya.
00:23:17Slayin' the UK from the Shetlands to Dover.
00:23:19I'm a queen when the bass hits, better face it.
00:23:21That'll be the last time you ever call me face it.
00:23:24Amazing.
00:23:25That's so good!
00:23:26That was... period.
00:23:28That was very, very good.
00:23:29M&EK seems quite impressed.
00:23:31I think I managed to lay down my verse in two takes.
00:23:34As opposed to the 78,000 that Joe did.
00:23:40Hi!
00:23:41Oh, hi, hi, hi!
00:23:42You all look so good.
00:23:43You're literally the power pop gays.
00:23:45A horror.
00:23:47So what are you serving us?
00:23:48Like, sexual, like, I'm gonna seduce you, in a way.
00:23:53I've chosen to rap over singing, because I really do not want to put the other girls
00:23:57to shame.
00:23:59I am a great vocalist.
00:24:12I think it's great that we have that.
00:24:16Hey, sex sells at the end of the day.
00:24:18When in doubt, sex it out.
00:24:20Clap for the sing-sang song.
00:24:23It's Bimini.
00:24:24Let's do the, um, pre-chorus.
00:24:26Oh, right.
00:24:27Listen, don't be afraid of a vocal.
00:24:29M&EK says, don't be afraid of your voice, but I'm terrified of it.
00:24:33It's something you say, and it's going around.
00:24:36Whoa!
00:24:38Whoa!
00:24:39Okay.
00:24:40Here's what you can do.
00:24:41If you sing along with the pre-chorus, but give us Bimini.
00:24:45But what does it do?
00:24:47I don't have a clue!
00:24:48Sing it loud, sing it loud, sing it loud, yeah!
00:24:52Great.
00:24:53Yeah?
00:24:53Well done.
00:24:55Up next is Tess.
00:24:56Oi, oi, Savaloi.
00:24:57Oi, Savaloi.
00:24:58Can we do it?
00:24:59It's very important for me to nail this verse, because the last verse that I did in this competition
00:25:02had me lip-syncing, and I am not going to be having that again.
00:25:06Alright, you ready?
00:25:07I think so.
00:25:08Let's do it.
00:25:09T-A-Y-C-E, inch to the floor.
00:25:12I ain't talking about my weave.
00:25:13The bars are fire.
00:25:14Okay.
00:25:14I like the interest of the floor.
00:25:15And I ain't talking about my weave.
00:25:17Now it's others.
00:25:18Okay, cool.
00:25:19Let's Batman scoop it.
00:25:20Light for the ding-dong-dong!
00:25:22Put your heads up!
00:25:23Put your heads up!
00:25:24Put your heads up!
00:25:24Let's go!
00:25:25Ay!
00:25:26I'm loving this right now.
00:25:28I'm feeling in my element.
00:25:29Go!
00:25:30Go!
00:25:30Go!
00:25:31Ay!
00:25:35Microphone dropper!
00:25:39Yeah.
00:25:40We could use one percent.
00:25:43Lawrence Chaney.
00:25:45Listen, I'm a bit nervous because I am not a recording artiste.
00:25:48I believe in you.
00:25:50Let's hear your verse.
00:25:51Okay.
00:25:52Okay.
00:25:52Dancing to a Highland jig.
00:25:54Lawrence Chaney is up in this gig from Hellensboro to Edinburgh.
00:25:57Everywhere I go, I'm snatching wigs.
00:25:58I was out there.
00:25:59Sorry.
00:26:00No.
00:26:00That wasn't good.
00:26:03Cringe!
00:26:05Embody everything that's here.
00:26:06Right.
00:26:07No, I get you.
00:26:08Get it, girl.
00:26:08Shake it out.
00:26:09You got it.
00:26:10Can't sing or dance, but I'm ever so wee.
00:26:12Blub, blub, blub.
00:26:13Me and my dolls are on a mission.
00:26:15Gonna take this.
00:26:16Fuck!
00:26:17Sorry.
00:26:19Sorry.
00:26:20Oh, God.
00:26:21Come on, Lawrence.
00:26:24U.K. Han.
00:26:29That will do.
00:26:29Okay.
00:26:30Cool.
00:26:30Yeah, thanks.
00:26:30Cool.
00:26:32Lawrence.
00:26:34That's concerning.
00:26:37Here we go, bitches.
00:26:39Time to get dancing.
00:26:41Plans for choreography.
00:26:43I'm handing it over to Tia and to Ellie, and I'm just hoping that they don't make it
00:26:47so complicated that I absolutely fuck it up.
00:26:52Okay.
00:26:53So, we're gonna go.
00:26:54So, positions will go.
00:26:56Joe, me, Tia, and sister.
00:26:59Okay.
00:26:59Okay.
00:26:59So, it's and one.
00:27:02It's something you say, and it's going around and around.
00:27:06I mean, in my world, it would all be.
00:27:11But we kinda need to simplify it a little bit for the nans, a.k.a.
00:27:15Joe and sister.
00:27:16Bing, bang, bong.
00:27:17It goes.
00:27:18Bing, bang, bong.
00:27:21Sing, sang, song.
00:27:23Ding, dang, dong.
00:27:24And then it goes.
00:27:25U.K. Han.
00:27:26Pointing forward.
00:27:28I'm gonna get friend up.
00:27:29Okay.
00:27:31I need this.
00:27:32It's possible.
00:27:33Okay.
00:27:34It also needs to be fierce.
00:27:35Mama, I'm trying to choreograph this for non-dancer Joe Black in the corner.
00:27:39Not for like, kakada, kakada, cow, shablam.
00:27:42We've gotta dial it down and keep it camp so that the whole team can keep up.
00:27:47You know those awkward, stupid Eurovision entries where their choreography is like...
00:27:52But the rest of the choreo, it goes up at an octave as well so we need to figure out
00:27:55something different to do there because it can't all be the same.
00:27:58I mean, I slightly have taken over the choreography because, let's be real, Tia isn't great with the choreo, is
00:28:05she?
00:28:05I think we're just like panicking and like getting really frantic and then when it goes really high, fucking like
00:28:13do it like everywhere and go mental.
00:28:15Tia's, you know, trying to remain composed and old Ellie's trying to get her two pence in, isn't she?
00:28:20But it's alright.
00:28:22Until somebody gets eliminated.
00:28:25Okay, come on girls, let's choreograph this.
00:28:28Taste is taking the head choreo role and I am the Sue choreographer.
00:28:33Let's go bit by bit by bit by bit and we're gonna keep going from the beginning and we're gonna
00:28:37go up to where we are until it's perfect and then we're gonna move on.
00:28:41I am not gonna go on stage with just some crappy bland choreo.
00:28:45I want us to be popping, it needs to have spunk, character.
00:28:48Five, six, seven, eight.
00:28:50One and two, three and four, five and six, seven and eight.
00:28:53We're ten seconds in, we're already fucked it up.
00:28:56Five, six, seven, eight.
00:28:58To the right and two...
00:29:00We'll get it girl, don't worry.
00:29:01If I have a strong team, I'm worried I'll just look like a super fan getting a photograph with a
00:29:08pop group rather than looking like a member of that pop group.
00:29:11And it's going around and around and around.
00:29:14Nope.
00:29:15Do it again, again, again, again.
00:29:17You got it wrong.
00:29:17I'm here to cuddle you girl, this is a competition.
00:29:20So if I need to slap you silly around the face a few times to get those moves out of
00:29:23you, best believe I will.
00:29:24Ha ha ha.
00:29:25Ha ha ha.
00:29:26You can't.
00:29:27This is my last brain cell, I'm telling you.
00:29:30Ba ba ba.
00:29:31Ba ba ba.
00:29:32Yeah, yeah.
00:29:33Any of that.
00:29:34Get that to fuck.
00:29:36Don't stress.
00:29:36It's okay.
00:29:37We'll get it, right?
00:29:38We'll get it.
00:29:39Girl, I'm not gonna last to achieve a performance.
00:29:40This is what I do.
00:29:41It's not gonna happen.
00:29:42It ain't gonna happen.
00:29:44Lord help me.
00:29:45Let's see what happens.
00:29:50What are we?
00:29:51The United Kingdom.
00:29:55Whatever, cause you're about to not a drama.
00:29:59It's the first elimination day back.
00:30:03No one wants to go home.
00:30:09Oh, get those brows on, bud.
00:30:10Really enjoyed working with you Hen so far.
00:30:13So far.
00:30:14So far.
00:30:14I do feel like being back is great.
00:30:18What did you find was like the hardest part during your lockdown?
00:30:21Job security.
00:30:23Oh yeah.
00:30:23Was quite difficult.
00:30:24Like, my income I relied on being a tit in a wig.
00:30:27So, not being able to make money from doing that was quite difficult.
00:30:31And it made me think like, we're so easily stopped.
00:30:35Gotten rid of, yeah.
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:36It was stressful to just see how almost disposable the industry that I work in became.
00:30:47The job you chose is now unfeasible because of lockdown.
00:30:53Having that all happen and crumble in front of you, it just floored me.
00:31:00So how did you look after yourself mentally?
00:31:04It was really hard.
00:31:05I mean, I am definitely a stress eater.
00:31:08Were you on your own?
00:31:08Who do you live with?
00:31:09I have a flatmate who does drag, but it was actually really difficult being around someone
00:31:15who was also going through the same things.
00:31:17Yeah.
00:31:17Because we both had no work.
00:31:19We both had nothing to do.
00:31:22So it was like, great.
00:31:24I've had seven months off.
00:31:26Seven months of doing hee-haw.
00:31:28Coming back here.
00:31:30This is the light at the end of the tunnel.
00:31:32I do feel like we've got a lot to look forward to and just got to try and have a
00:31:36PMA.
00:31:38The fuck's a PMA?
00:31:39Positive mental attitude.
00:31:41Get fucked.
00:31:48The tension in this workroom you've been honestly caught with a knife.
00:31:51Nobody wants to go home first.
00:31:53This is like the beginning all over again.
00:31:55We've just got to kill it because there's no way we're going home today.
00:32:00Especially after all this time.
00:32:01Could you imagine?
00:32:02If I was the one that was going to be sent home today, thank God for Botox is all I'm
00:32:06saying
00:32:07because I will hide those emotions.
00:32:09You know, we all want to come out and show Rue that we've evolved, upgraded, and taken in protein.
00:32:15You just don't want to let Mom and Rue down.
00:32:17No.
00:32:18Well, let's hope we don't, bitch.
00:32:21I have revamped, upgraded, everything to come back to this competition and slay it.
00:32:25And to then have to just turn around and go home?
00:32:27Oh, no, no, no.
00:32:28Could never be me.
00:32:29Mm-mm.
00:32:31I mean, someone's got to bring that crown to the house.
00:32:34Oh, yes, honey.
00:32:35I'll bring it round.
00:32:35Ah!
00:32:41Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

00:32:49Well, I didn't hit a name, but he was definitely Brazilian.
00:32:55National treasure and the voice of Eurovision, Graham Norton.
00:33:01That's true.

00:40:12Vimity von Boulash
00:40:14Vimity von Boulash
00:40:15Oh yeah
00:40:16I'm parasol
00:40:17My concept is a fashion editorial for British Bay
00:40:21On the sandy shores of Great Young
00:40:24Lace front, lace back
00:40:27In this dress I'm showing more than just me cankles
00:40:30Nobody likes a shady beach
00:40:35Up next, taste
00:40:37I can totally see her starfish
00:40:40I am serving the sheep that sells the seashells on the seashore
00:40:47Oh my goodness, she's really showing off her net work
00:40:51Have I got crabs?
00:40:53That's for you to find out, baby
00:40:54Would you pull that crab with a net?
00:40:58A horror
00:41:00She's all that
00:41:01And a bag of chips
00:41:03I am giving you a salty bitch
00:41:06I am a bag of chips dripping in ketchup
00:41:09And I'm feeling incredible
00:41:13What the fuck?
00:41:15I am so proud of this look
00:41:17I'm giving you silhouette, shape and form
00:41:19This is a design genius
00:41:21Note to self
00:41:23Always use a condiment
00:41:28Up next, the captivating stylings of Laurence Cheney
00:41:31Oh, thank God, what a life saver
00:41:34I am giving you this orange wet look fantasy
00:41:38It is camp as hell and I am loving it
00:41:42I suspect she might be a floater
00:41:47You'll never be lost at sea when you can climb aboard me
00:41:51Yeah, boy
00:41:52Yeah, boy
00:41:53Oh, oh my God
00:41:56How are you timing?
00:41:58Oh, the girl
00:42:01I am serving you a seagull wearing an itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini
00:42:08And I'm coming for your chips
00:42:10Oopsie booty quack
00:42:13They say it's lucky if a bird sits on your food
00:42:15I've been shot on by a bird before and trust and believe
00:42:18I definitely was not lucky that day
00:42:19I love the spice gulls
00:42:24Up next to your coffee
00:42:26I'm gonna stick a flake in it
00:42:28Oh, I need to get ice cream cream for that
00:42:31I am soft-serving it down this runway
00:42:34You can't tell me that this outfit is vanilla
00:42:37Bitch, this is delicious
00:42:39Chocolate sprinkles if you please
00:42:41My favourite flavour of ice cream
00:42:43Coffee ice cream
00:42:45Obvs
00:42:46Is probably disgusting though
00:42:48Lick it
00:42:49Lick it good
00:42:51Sister, sister
00:42:53What's attracting all these fries?
00:42:56I'm feeling salty
00:42:57I'm feeling saucy
00:42:59I'm getting attacked by a seagull
00:43:01Maybe after this we can catch up
00:43:05I feel deliciously statuesque
00:43:08But do you think a sausage is better?
00:43:11Let's hope
00:43:14Up next, Joe Black
00:43:16Blackpool is so enjoyable for this time of the year
00:43:19I am giving the true reality of the British seaside
00:43:23And oh, the wind is up
00:43:27Go to the seaside, they said
00:43:29It'll be fun, they said
00:43:31I've got my lovely
00:43:33I believe the term is asymmetric wig
00:43:35But actually, in reality
00:43:37It's absolutely fucked
00:43:39Marcel Marceau wants his act back
00:43:44Welcome ladies
00:43:46I may never get those bing bing bongs out of my head
00:43:49Now, based on your performances in the Roo Roo Vision Song Contest
00:43:56And your seaside runway presentations
00:44:00I've made some decisions
00:44:05The winning Roo Roo Vision Group is
00:44:10The United King Dolls
00:44:13Yay!
00:44:18Congratulations ladies
00:44:20This is a team victory
00:44:21So each of you will receive a coveted Roo Peter badge
00:44:26Finally!
00:44:26Woo!
00:44:32We're with pride
00:44:33Yay!
00:44:35The United King Dolls have just won a Roo Peter badge
00:44:38Oh yes, that's right
00:44:41Thank you so much
00:44:43Thank you
00:44:43United King Dolls, or as I like to say, UKD
00:44:48Yes
00:44:49You may leave the stage
00:44:56I'm sorry my dears, but you are all up for elimination
00:45:01Now it's time for the judges critiques
00:45:03Starting with...
00:45:05Ellie Diamond
00:45:06Hey Ellie!
00:45:07Hi!
00:45:08Let's talk about your performance first
00:45:09So, I thought you looked beautiful
00:45:11The one thing I want to always encourage you is when you're performing
00:45:14Always be the biggest that you can be
00:45:16To the point where you feel ridiculous
00:45:18Although you're standing up here dressed as a seagull right now
00:45:20So I don't know...
00:45:21Tonight on the runway, I think this is just fantastic
00:45:24This is what, you know, when I think of drag and when I think of taking risks
00:45:27You're coming out here dressed as a bikini-clad seagull
00:45:30You can't take much more of a risk
00:45:32And you've got a heel in a webbed foot
00:45:34It's pretty impressive
00:45:36Thank you
00:45:36I love this look
00:45:37Now that I see you with the other girls
00:45:41For me, maybe it's a little bit on the side of fancy dress more than drag
00:45:46Because you are a seagull
00:45:49You're a feminine seagull, I'll give you that
00:45:51But you're a seagull
00:45:53In the recording, you were ready for this moment
00:45:55Oh yeah
00:45:56You really gave it your all and I really appreciate that
00:45:58In the performance, you were also really good
00:46:00My only critique was that when it was the unison dancing
00:46:04I felt you pair back a little bit
00:46:06Yeah
00:46:07The thing was that there were times during the performance
00:46:09When I could see you thinking about the steps
00:46:12But loved your outfit
00:46:13I can't say that for all of the girls' outfits
00:46:15But it was good
00:46:18Alright, thank you
00:46:19Up next, the question remains
00:46:22Tea of coffee
00:46:23So I loved your lyrics actually
00:46:25Thank you
00:46:26They made me laugh out loud
00:46:27The way you delivered them was fantastic
00:46:29I love the nod to Monique Hart
00:46:31Tonight on the runway, and I think we've discussed this before
00:46:33Is you're long and you're lean
00:46:35But you kind of don't know how to show that off
00:46:38You know, we've had time off
00:46:39So I had hoped that you kids would sit
00:46:41And think about how you're going to come back
00:46:43And elevate
00:46:44And bring your drag to the next level
00:46:47Tea of coffee, there's something about you
00:46:48You're just very fun to watch
00:46:50In the performance
00:46:52You never seemed like a group
00:46:53You just seemed like four people performing together
00:46:57So all of your looks were kind of
00:46:58Although there was a color palette through it
00:47:01I don't know, it just didn't kind of gel as a group
00:47:04The performance, you killed it
00:47:05You were definitely a standout for me
00:47:08Thank you
00:47:08Only thing I'd say is
00:47:10In regards to this outfit
00:47:11I didn't get ice cream cone initially
00:47:15You know, this is fine
00:47:16And it's great for the pub
00:47:18It's great for local clubs, all that
00:47:20But this is the international showcase
00:47:22And it's still a little regional
00:47:26You're not local anymore
00:47:27You've got to take the opposite
00:47:29The world's about to end, by the way
00:47:31The world's about to end
00:47:33If there was ever a time
00:47:35To do your thing
00:47:37It's now
00:47:39So what say you to your coffee?
00:47:41I will step up all of my luck
00:47:43You said that last time, I don't want to hear that
00:47:45You said that last time
00:47:46I did?
00:47:47Yeah
00:47:48Like, I might have said it last time
00:47:50And this might have been my interpretation of stepping it up
00:47:52But I know that I can go further
00:47:54And I can push it even more
00:47:55Kiddo, you got it
00:47:57Look at those gorgeous legs
00:47:58Look at that gorgeous cafe au lait skin
00:48:00You know, if you had my team of 50 people working on you
00:48:04Do you know what you'd look like?
00:48:06Well, you'd look like me
00:48:09You got a point
00:48:10Looks like, can I borrow them for the next runway?
00:48:13Fuck you!
00:48:16Thank you, darling
00:48:17Thank you very much
00:48:18Up next, oh brother, it's Sister Sister
00:48:22So Sister, in your performance
00:48:24I saw you kind of trying to push yourself harder than you normally would
00:48:27And I've been telling you that before
00:48:28So it was nice to see you going for it
00:48:30Tonight on the runway, this is really fun
00:48:31I'm sure when you saw Ahura, you were like, dammit
00:48:36You were so beautiful in the performance
00:48:39And I really appreciate whenever I looked at you
00:48:41You were always on
00:48:43Tonight, oh, I do feel for you
00:48:44Because just because there was another bag of chips
00:48:47Because there's two of you on the runway
00:48:48It just dilutes it as an idea
00:48:51So I'm sort of disappointed for you
00:48:55It's a real inconvenience that Ahura came
00:48:57And did an arguably more polished version of this similar concept
00:49:03Your outfit was my favourite of all of the girls in your group
00:49:06It was ridiculous, how did you feel up there?
00:49:09This has been the most fun challenge I've had
00:49:13So the look of happiness was genuine
00:49:16Which is rare for me
00:49:20Thank you so much
00:49:21Thank you
00:49:21Up next, Joe Black is back
00:49:25I was so happy when I heard you were back, Joe
00:49:27Because I wanted to see more
00:49:29In the challenge, you seem like the most deliberately not in that group
00:49:33I mean, that is probably not the thing to do when it's a group challenge
00:49:38This is genius because it's one thing to have a funny idea
00:49:41But you executed it so well
00:49:45When we were recording, there was definitely some timing issues
00:49:48I think it can slightly be applied to the dancing too
00:49:53I know that you can't dance
00:49:55Tonight on the runway, I love this
00:49:58This was magical
00:50:00But in the challenge, this is where the conundrum happens, Joe Black
00:50:03I first want to start by saying
00:50:06I thought your lyrics were fantastic
00:50:08But you came out wearing a finger wave wig
00:50:11And something I probably could have bought off the rack at Primark, no joke
00:50:16My chin in
00:50:20There you go, it just didn't fit in
00:50:23That outfit off the rack was a huge disappointment to me
00:50:29Guess what everyday people do?
00:50:31And you should know that, because you are a star
00:50:34And then this goes to all of you up here
00:50:37If it is from H&M, you better glitter the fuck out of it and make it something special
00:50:42We're looking for Great Britain's next superstar
00:50:46Don't waste my time, I don't want to see any fucking H&M
00:50:53What say you, Joe Black?
00:50:55I agree with you, I'm very stuck in what I do
00:50:57So, I had other outfit options, but
00:51:01The problem was, again, they were maybe too old looking
00:51:03I isn't, you know, I came all the way across the pond
00:51:07I want more, I want more
00:51:10Is that asking for too much? I don't think so
00:51:12I don't think so
00:51:13It's the biggest stage for drag in the world
00:51:16This is the Eurovision of drag
00:51:21So, alright, I think we've heard enough
00:51:24While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate
00:51:28You may leave the stage
00:51:31We deserved that
00:51:32Wow, yeah
00:51:33You know, we gave the good pop princess vibes
00:51:36You know, they were giving a bit Golden Girls over there
00:51:39Come on, the other group, it was like, not this
00:51:41Like, come on, Butlins, let me hear you scream
00:51:44Like, no, it was like, roly-poly-oly
00:51:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:51:48On the runway, I think, um, you won the battle of the chips
00:51:52Oh, yeah!
00:51:54Geez!
00:51:56Sister, sister, more like copy copy
00:51:58We came to this competition seven months ago
00:52:02Yeah!
00:52:02We know her wardrobe was shit
00:52:06Sister, sister came to this competition with a breastplate, a red bikini and some blonde hair
00:52:10And was gonna come out as Pamela Anderson
00:52:13Fact!
00:52:14So, why the fuck has she come back this time around as a bag of chips?
00:52:18You tell me
00:52:20She knew what I was doing and we all knew what she was doing
00:52:22Have you talked about it?
00:52:24No, it's-
00:52:25Well, I'm gonna talk about it
00:52:27How?
00:52:29Hello!
00:52:30Hello!
00:52:31Here they are!
00:52:32Hello!
00:52:33Hi, fibes!
00:52:34How's it being a hit?
00:52:35How are we all feeling?
00:52:37Yeah
00:52:37That was, uh, interesting
00:52:40He was, uh, really fucking angry
00:52:45RuPaul's Drag Race is a pressured environment
00:52:48And, uh, you gotta bring it every time
00:52:49And, uh, I guess our ensembles for the RuRuVision
00:52:52It ticks the wrong boxes
00:52:54Yeah, she blew the fuck up.
00:52:56She was like, nothing off the rack.
00:52:58And if you're going to wear something off the rack, rhinestone that shit.
00:53:00Put fucking sequins on it.
00:53:02Don't play your shit about.
00:53:03And it was like that.
00:53:05But for me, I thought I was fine, so that's why she's...
00:53:07I mean...
00:53:08He was, you know, telling Tia to step it up.
00:53:11Rue did...
00:53:11I mean, that's the example of it.
00:53:14What great timing.
00:53:15Rue called my outfit regional.
00:53:19I do think that Rue has been fair.
00:53:21I have the opportunity to elevate everything over lockdown.
00:53:24And I definitely feel like I've achieved that with a lot of my stuff.
00:53:27Just not this fucking ice cream.
00:53:30Sister, how are you doing?
00:53:31They said about the look tonight...
00:53:33Oh, Graham said he felt disappointment when he saw two come down the runway.
00:53:38Did they say whose was better?
00:53:39I mean, yeah, you won't. What else do you fucking want?
00:53:42I swear you had some, like, big booby, blonde, busty, swimsuity thing when we came in.
00:53:48Yeah, I had a different...
00:53:49Why'd you change it?
00:53:51Money in seven months, and opportunity, time...
00:53:54And inspiration.
00:53:56Yeah, baby girl, we'll get onto inspiration, because I swear to God it didn't come from you.
00:54:01I pride myself on my creativity.
00:54:03And for her to just throw that away and go, she purely copied me.
00:54:07I'm sorry, that's just so boring.
00:54:10They're very similar.
00:54:11I think we've styled them completely differently.
00:54:13Bullshit, sister. Bullshit!
00:54:16I don't remember your outfit from the beginning.
00:54:18It's a big fucking chip over there, like, you'd remember.
00:54:20Does it make you uncomfortable that I'm saying that I completely disregard your outfit and I don't remember it?
00:54:25No, because I won at the end of the day.
00:54:27They thought sister had ripped her off. It's like, babe.
00:54:31If you think you've invented a cone of chips, have a stern word with yourself, for fuck's sake.
00:54:35Do you want me to sit there and go, I found pure inspiration from you?
00:54:39No, because at the end of the day, regardless of whether you did or you didn't.
00:54:42I don't know. I just think...
00:54:44No, speak on it. Sounds like you've got a thousand opinions.
00:54:46Why are you taking this so personally?
00:54:49It feels like it invalidates all my references and all my points of view and all the artistry that I
00:54:53put into my outfits as well, if I was to be accused of stealing a look from somebody else.
00:54:59You know what? Fuck it. I thought I looked stunning.
00:55:05All righty then. Just between us, squirrel friends, what do you think? Starting with Ellie Diamond.
00:55:11Tonight on the runway, my goodness, by far, she was my favorite one in this group.
00:55:15My problem, actually, was her outfit in Banana Drama.
00:55:18That top, that was... If you feed a dog, and about 20 minutes later, you hear it going...
00:55:25That was the color of that top.
00:55:27The performance felt very young. I work with Little Mix and all of them, and they all know that they
00:55:32need to share the moment.
00:55:34And that even if you just happen to look at them, they're still performing. You know what I mean?
00:55:37And that's something you just learn with more experience.
00:55:39I like her a lot. I think she's got real star quality. And she is green. She's absolutely green.
00:55:44There are a few times where it was, you know, a deer in the headlights.
00:55:47All right, up next, Tia Coffey.
00:55:49She just limits herself to going to the pub and performing and being the star in a local pub.
00:55:53This runway was like, no, Tia, no. Leave Tia Coffey alone.
00:55:58Okay.
00:55:59I love Tia Coffey.
00:56:01Rue, you talk about star quality and looking for a superstar.
00:56:04For me, Tia Coffey is a superstar.
00:56:06I guess what's frustrating for us is that maybe she doesn't quite know it.
00:56:10In the Rue revision, she was great, but the runway was mad local.
00:56:15Let's move on to Sister Sister.
00:56:16Sister Sister for me was very much improved in the challenge. The makeup was pretty. The way she delivered it
00:56:22was great.
00:56:23I think that she's very gifted and very capable and clearly an amazing performer. But there was something missing.
00:56:29I have to say, Sister Sister was my favorite of this group. It had something to do with the knowing
00:56:35smirk on her face.
00:56:37Tonight on the runway, the unfortunate thing is Ahura did it and Ahura did it better.
00:56:41Period.
00:56:41I don't know what went on back there, but I just think if two people have picked the same look,
00:56:47somebody has to admit defeat.
00:56:48Alright, moving on to Joe Black.
00:56:51We adore Joe Black, but that dress, those shoes, the Fagin gloves from Oliver, none of it is acceptable on
00:56:59RuPaul's Drag Race UK main stage.
00:57:01But that runway, I love the imagination that came with it.
00:57:06You saw what Joe Black can do. It was full of detail. All the things that were lacking from Rue
00:57:11revision were in the runway.
00:57:13Because it was like a charity performance where one night only Glenn Close joins Girls Aloud.
00:57:18I don't have to say anything else about the outfit.
00:57:21You know.
00:57:22I think you covered that.
00:57:23I think we covered that.
00:57:23Yeah, I think you covered it.
00:57:26Alright.
00:57:27Silence!
00:57:27Silence!
00:57:35Welcome back ladies.
00:57:37I want you to know that if I was a little hard on you earlier, it's because I see so
00:57:44much potential in each of you.
00:57:46And if nothing else, these times have taught us to seize the day.
00:57:51Carpe diem, darling.
00:57:54Look around you.
00:57:55Look at the past winners.
00:57:57Look at what you are doing right now and make it happen.
00:58:02Plus, Mamoru was locked up in quarantine for two weeks, so that might have a little thing to do with
00:58:08it.
00:58:09Now, I've made some decisions.
00:58:13Ellie Diamond, your Rue Rue Vision performance was a bit tentative, but on the runway, you did not pluck it
00:58:23up.
00:58:25You're safe.
00:58:26You may join the other girls.
00:58:28Let's go.
00:58:35Let's go.
00:58:36Let's go.
00:58:40Sister, sister.
00:58:42Your Rue Rue Vision performance was a standout, but your bag of chips was a little soggy.
00:58:52You're safe.
00:58:54You may join the other girls.
00:59:06To your coffee, to your black.
00:59:10I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.
00:59:15Here we are again.
00:59:17I'm sorry, dear, I love you, but if I have to, I'm gonna send you home back.
00:59:23Two queens stand before me.
00:59:26Ladies, this is your last chance to invest me.
00:59:31Save yourself from elimination.
00:59:35The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:59:44I need to stay. I've got to fight for my place in this competition.
00:59:49Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
00:59:54I'm sorry.
01:00:01Alright.
01:00:05Let's go.
01:00:05Go, go.
01:00:07Go, go, go.
01:00:09Get yourself from zdrow.
01:00:19Go, go.
01:00:20Go, go, go, go.
01:00:20Go, go, go, go.
01:00:21Go, go, go, go, go.
01:00:21Go, go, go, go, go.
01:00:21Go, go, go.
01:00:22Go, go, go, go, go.
01:00:24I can't exist as a show in this
01:00:29So take the case
01:00:31So don't leave me this way
01:00:34Oh, baby
01:00:36My heart is full of love and desire for you
01:00:40So come down, I don't know what you're about to do
01:00:44You're starting a fire down in my soul
01:00:47I can't see this burning out of control
01:00:50So come down, I don't know what you're about to do
01:00:57So don't leave me this way
01:01:13Cause I can't survive, I can't stay alive
01:01:18So don't leave me this way
01:01:26My heart is full of love and desire for you
01:01:30So come down, I don't know what you're about to do
01:01:33You're starting a fire down in my soul
01:01:36Cause I don't love it
01:01:38But send me a breeze
01:01:40Send me a breeze
01:01:43I don't know what you're about to do
01:01:45I don't know what you're about to do
01:01:50Yay!
01:01:55Let's go!
01:01:58Love you
01:01:59Love you
01:02:02Ladies, I've made my decision
01:02:13Take coffee
01:02:15Shantae, you stay
01:02:19Thank you so much
01:02:20You may join the other girls
01:02:23Thank you
01:02:24I promise I'll have a waste next time
01:02:26I promise
01:02:27Never again
01:02:32Joe Black
01:02:34Thank you for serving us another cup of Joe
01:02:38My pleasure
01:02:39Now, sashay away
01:02:41Thank you very much for having me
01:02:43It's been a pleasure to come back
01:02:46Love you, baby
01:02:47I said it before and I'll say it again
01:02:51Mr. Charles
01:02:54I'm ready for my close-up
01:02:56Yay!
01:02:58Yay!
01:03:01Here, I'm back again
01:03:02You know, in the spirit of Eurovision
01:03:04Nil points
01:03:05I was less of a wallflower than I thought I was last time
01:03:09And, you know, I got to show people a bit of me
01:03:11Because I got to wear this silly bloody costume
01:03:13There was only eight people left
01:03:15And to that crown, I was Glenn Close
01:03:18But no cigar
01:03:21You know, in the spirit of Eurovision
