00:00:00Hello hello hello
00:00:02Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the world. You'll be performing at RuPaul's Fringe Festival
00:00:10Her personality kind of reminds me of Berlin after the war
00:00:15I
00:00:20Look very tall and Fontana looks very stupid
00:00:24Zahaira the jokes weren't there and it felt flat
00:00:29Mariah Gordon was allowed to be the clown, but because you were talking so much you've got to have some
00:00:34jokes Nick
00:00:34Kate Butch for me you were in a different class to everyone else
00:00:39Contragulation through the winner of this week's challenge. Thank you. Thank you so much
00:00:44Mariah Balenciaga Chante you stay
00:00:48Zahaira Zahaira
00:00:49Sashay away
00:00:51Zahaira has leveled up
00:01:06We're back in the workroom and I'm already feeling the void having to send Zahaira home felt
00:01:14Crushing like I did not know that I could form a relationship that close so fast
00:01:21I had prepared myself to go home because she was such a beautiful queen a talented queen and
00:01:28I think she's amazing come read out what she's written. You are all
00:01:33Honky
00:01:35She said you're all honking. Do you know what honking me? No
00:01:40To me honking means that we all absolutely stink. Oh
00:01:47I
00:01:48I just want to say that I love you so much Zahaira
00:01:51She's such an amazing person and she's sharing the sisterhood right here and I'm really appreciate that
00:01:57Zahaira told me that we're gonna make it to the finale together
00:02:01But she cannot make it
00:02:03my girl
00:02:05Well, we're gonna miss you
00:02:07Zahaira
00:02:09Zahaira
00:02:10I love you bitch. I'm like relieved for myself, but heartbroken for Zahaira
00:02:16She is definitely a talent beyond her years
00:02:21Let's give it up for
00:02:29It does feel good to win I finally got a second badge
00:02:33I got two bits of tin on me tits and I'm ready for whatever next week throws at me
00:02:38Now you're the only UK girl left. Oh my god true. Is it Kate versus the world now?
00:02:45I was expecting once all the other you Craig greens had gone to feel a bit lonely
00:02:48But I do feel like I've made my lovely international relations
00:02:54Talking about you could look at this as Kate Butch versus the world
00:02:58But I've made really good friends with the other four queens. So it's Kate Butch's British Embassy
00:03:03God of my love, how are you feeling right now?
00:03:06It's kind of mixed feeling like now like losing the Zahaira is one thing and also like my team my
00:03:13partner
00:03:14Miss Mariah being in the bottom. I feel like
00:03:18She's the one who carried the team
00:03:24Just you being in the bottom is so hard for me
00:03:29I shouldn't be there
00:03:31Instead of her
00:03:32No darling, no
00:03:35I really appreciate your hard work for me
00:03:38Like for our team

00:03:54We're okay. I'm still here
00:03:56I just love you so much
00:04:00Babes
00:04:01This is not RuPaul's best friend race
00:04:03But we should be so proud of ourselves
00:04:06Yeah, we are the top five
00:04:15Oh no, she's too old for this
00:04:17I am so ready and hungry to fight for my spot on that finale
00:04:25I may have taken a tumble this week, but I am not out of fight yet
00:04:30Because I got my claws ready and I'm ready to scratch the competition out
00:04:34Oh, there's one
00:04:37I am ready to throw all my sisters under the bus
00:04:42To get the crowns
00:04:44Too bad club

00:04:56The winner crown queen of the mother tucking world will receive a cash prize of 50,000 pounds

00:05:25Jump, fight, jump, fight
00:05:27Jump, fight, jump, fight
00:05:27Jump, fight, jump, fight
00:05:27Feeling fresh and delicious
00:05:29It's a new day in the workroom
00:05:31And it is the semi final bitches
00:05:36Congratulations, you lucky bitch
00:05:38Yeah
00:05:39Do you mean this old thing?
00:05:43But you know what? It was not luck.
00:05:45That was well-deserved. That was challenge.
00:05:47It feels absolutely correct to have two badges.
00:05:50It would feel more correct if I had three, but...
00:05:53Gaudlin, do you have a little bit of a cry limonogue?
00:05:55Yeah. Not the cry limonogue.
00:05:58But now I'm getting better.
00:06:00She's ready for her semi-final.
00:06:03I've got a semi for the final.
00:06:05How about you, Nene? How are you doing?
00:06:07You're the one without a badge.
00:06:09Come on, shoulder.
00:06:10I'm not being shady, but...
00:06:12Rub it in.
00:06:13How does it feel?
00:06:13I really want the last badge.
00:06:15I also want to join the Double Badge Club.
00:06:18That badge is mine.
00:06:19Unfortunately, the Double Badge Club
00:06:20is no longer accepting the limonogue.
00:06:24Hello, hello, hello.
00:06:31My top five.
00:06:32Yeah.
00:06:33In just one week, one of you will be crowned
00:06:36the queen of the mother-tucking world.
00:06:40Oh, God.
00:06:41But the Draglympics have only just begun, darling.
00:06:46First up for today's mini-challenge,
00:06:48we're throwing ourselves a medal ceremony.
00:06:53Mmm.
00:06:54Oh.
00:06:55Oh, Brit Crews.
00:06:57Hooray.
00:06:58Hello.
00:06:59Hello.
00:07:00Oh.
00:07:01There they are.
00:07:02What's going on?
00:07:04What is a medal ceremony?
00:07:06I present to you five different medals.
00:07:10Shady medals.
00:07:11But who will receive which medal?
00:07:15Well, I'm giving that honor up to last week's champion.
00:07:19Ooh.
00:07:21Kate Butch.
00:07:23Oh, no.
00:07:24You're so shady, lady.
00:07:26No.
00:07:26When other people win challenges, they get to pick a team.
00:07:29They get some extra time.
00:07:31I have to start some bloody drama.
00:07:33Kate, you will give everyone one medal, including yourself.
00:07:39So, Kate, who has earned the medal for Front Runner?
00:07:44Who's the biggest competition?
00:07:46I think it has to be my two-badge club sister, Miss Gordland.
00:07:52Thank you, Kate.
00:07:54Thank you, I know it, Kate.
00:07:57Love you, XXL.
00:07:59Next up, Toe Curly.
00:08:01Who is the cringiest?
00:08:05Oh, this is the easiest decision I have had to make this whole competition.
00:08:10It's me.
00:08:13Seven weeks in, and I'm sick of myself already, darling.
00:08:17Next up, Shuttle Cocky.
00:08:19Who is the most overconfident?
00:08:24I'm giving it to Fontana.
00:08:26Okay.
00:08:27Do I think Kate is shady?
00:08:29Yes, absolutely.
00:08:31Do I think I am cocky?
00:08:33Absolutely not.
00:08:34I'm taking notes.
00:08:36Next one is Knockout.
00:08:38Whose personality makes the biggest impact?
00:08:42Mother Mariah.
00:08:44Mother.
00:08:45It's been 84 years.
00:08:49It looks like longer.
00:08:51My finest sporting achievement is probably the 100-yard deep throw.
00:08:56And I didn't even break a sweat.
00:08:58Skating on thin ice.
00:09:00Which queen should be the most worried?
00:09:03It's the only they owe me.
00:09:06The only one without a badge.
00:09:08Yes.
00:09:12Oh, why did I see that coming?
00:09:15Well, contractulations, ladies.
00:09:18You are all medal winners.
00:09:20Yes.
00:09:22Now, my world-class queens.
00:09:25The time has come.
00:09:26For the drag family makeover.
00:09:30Yes!
00:09:31It is the makeover challenge.
00:09:34Yes.
00:09:34Once again, it's something that I never did in my season
00:09:37because I didn't make it that far.
00:09:39But I love a good makeover.
00:09:41Count me in.
00:09:42Please give a rousing drag race welcome
00:09:45to these awesome Team GB Olympic athletes.
00:09:49Oh, my God!
00:09:51Long jumper, Greg Rutherford.
00:09:53Stop it!
00:09:55Oh, my God!
00:09:59It's Greg Rutherford from Strictly Come Dancing.
00:10:02And also winning a gold medal in the Olympics or something.
00:10:05Rugby player, Celia Kwanza.
00:10:07Oh, my God.
00:10:08Celia Kwanza.
00:10:09Oh, my God.
00:10:10Absolutely stunning.
00:10:12Oh, my God.
00:10:12The brow game is on.
00:10:14Climber, Molly Thompson-Smith.
00:10:17Come on, Molly.
00:10:18Come on.
00:10:18Nice climbing.
00:10:18It's the climbing thing.
00:10:21Swimmer, Daniel Jervis.
00:10:23Come on.
00:10:24Oh, my God.
00:10:26Hmm, I want him.
00:10:29And BMX racer, Sineyse Reed.
00:10:32Oh, Sineyse, oh, my God.
00:10:34Oh, my God.
00:10:35The outfit is different.
00:10:37Come on, Ma'am.
00:10:37Well, hello, Olympians.
00:10:39For this week's maxi challenge, you need to transform these elite athletes into members of your drag family.
00:10:49Hashtag Drag Race UK.
00:10:52Now, listen, I know you're checking them out, wondering which one would I choose to make over.
00:11:00Well, that decision has already been made for you.
00:11:06One at a time, you will peel back the label on your medal.
00:11:10Oh, my God!
00:11:12This will reveal a number from one to five.
00:11:15Oh, my God.
00:11:17That number will match you with one of our athletes.
00:11:21Let's start with Kate.
00:11:24Oh, my God!
00:11:29Kate Butch, you'll be making over Celia Kwanzaa.
00:11:35I love you.
00:11:36Welcome to meet you.
00:11:37You're stunning.
00:11:38Oh, you are.
00:11:39I might be ruining that later.
00:11:43Celia is fit.
00:11:44Of course she's going to be in the house of Butch.
00:11:47All right, Mariah.
00:11:50Ah!
00:11:52Mariah, you'll be making over Daniel Jervis.
00:11:55Come on over here, baby.
00:11:57Hi, Daniel.
00:11:58Hey, so nice to meet you.
00:11:59My pleasure.
00:12:00Oh, oh, just a little bit.
00:12:02I am so happy to get paired with Daniel.
00:12:05Great physique, almost as petite as me.
00:12:08All right, Godlin.
00:12:09Oh.
00:12:12Oh!
00:12:16You get to make over Greg Rutherford.
00:12:20She's going to climb him like a tree.
00:12:22Nice to meet you.
00:12:23I am very happy to have Greg, but I'm very nervous because he's so tall, massive, huge, tremendous.
00:12:31It's hard to make he look feminine.
00:12:35All right, Naomi.
00:12:39Oh, you get Shanae's reach.
00:12:42Come here, my love.
00:12:44Come, come, come.
00:12:45I'm excited to work with Shanae's.
00:12:47She has a gorgeous face.
00:12:49I know we can make something beautiful out of that.
00:12:51This could be a match made in heaven.
00:12:53Just for the sake of fun, go ahead and peel that label.
00:12:59Oh, my God.
00:13:00No, my God.
00:13:01Oh, my God.
00:13:03Molly Thompson-Smith.
00:13:05So nice to meet you.
00:13:07You are cool.
00:13:08Good.
00:13:08Welcome.
00:13:09I'm very happy with my pair because she's gorgeous.
00:13:13She almost looks Brazilian, and I think we could really make, like, a look-alike sister duo.
00:13:20All right, Glamazons.
00:13:21Remember, the judges and I will be looking for a fabulous transformation and a strong drag family resemblance.
00:13:31Racers, start your engines.
00:13:33And may the best drag queens win.
00:13:36Yay!
00:13:38Let's go!
00:13:39Olympians know hard work, discipline.
00:13:42This is so crazy.
00:13:43I know.
00:13:44I'm so excited.
00:13:45I can't believe I'm here.
00:13:46This is going to be a really good challenge for me.
00:13:49So, you're a swimmer.
00:13:51Yeah.
00:13:51Are you comfortable with around the community, like, the alphabet community?
00:13:57Absolutely, yeah.
00:13:58I'm a very proud member of it.
00:13:59Okay, so cool, cool, cool.
00:14:00Have you ever dabbled in drag or played in heels?
00:14:04Never.
00:14:05I have tried heels on before.
00:14:07So, I was over at my friend's house, and she was like, try these on.
00:14:09And I was like, let's go.
00:14:11Oh, you had it.
00:14:11I was so good.
00:14:12You snapped into your inner diva?
00:14:14Absolutely, yeah.
00:14:15I love that.
00:14:15Daniel is pretty excited.
00:14:18Like, I wasn't quite expecting this level of enthusiasm, but he is so committed.
00:14:23So, are there any major concerns about getting in drag?
00:14:26The only thing, Mariah, that I'm uncomfortable with is not winning.
00:14:30That's where you as an athlete and me as a drag queen we have in common.
00:14:34Absolutely.
00:14:34Unfortunately, during my original season, I didn't make it far enough to do the makeover challenge.
00:14:39But this is what I do.
00:14:41I'm a ballroom queen.
00:14:42They call me mother for a reason, because I create the dolls.
00:14:46You're acting.
00:14:47I'm like, all my days.
00:14:48Like, I'm transforming.
00:14:49It actually looks a little natural.
00:14:53This is so exciting.
00:14:54So exciting.
00:14:55How are we?
00:14:55Rugby girly.
00:14:56Rugby girly, yes.
00:14:57Tell me everything, because I'm clueless.
00:14:59Wide receiver, is that?
00:15:00Oh, no, no.
00:15:02Different sport, different sport.
00:15:03That's American football, yeah.
00:15:04It's my Friday night.
00:15:06Tell me about your rugby.
00:15:07Rugby.
00:15:07Started playing when I was 21, so actually quite late.
00:15:12And then found myself at the Olympics, which was pretty cool.
00:15:14Have you ever done any kind of drag or performance?
00:15:17No.
00:15:18Clam me up.
00:15:19Get it all on me.
00:15:20Celia wants to feel fabulous, glamorous, and a sexy lady.
00:15:24It's going to be difficult to disappoint her.
00:15:26My style is a little bit of glamour.
00:15:28And a little bit of camp.
00:15:30We're glamping.
00:15:31Yeah.
00:15:31That's what we're doing.
00:15:32That's all about perfect.
00:15:33The idea that I've got, I was thinking we're maybe little, like, sisters.
00:15:36Yes.
00:15:37Who have been smoking in bed.
00:15:39And have suffered the consequences.
00:15:40Oh, God.
00:15:41Are you with me on the journey?
00:15:43Yeah.
00:15:44Following a few steps behind, but we'll get there.
00:15:49So, what sport do you play?
00:15:51So, I was a long jumper.
00:15:53I went to three Olympics, Beijing in 08, London 2012.
00:15:56That's where I became Olympic champion.
00:15:58And then Rio in 2016.
00:16:00Wow.
00:16:00So, that was big.
00:16:01Wow.
00:16:01So, you just jump across what?
00:16:03Just in the sand.
00:16:04And see how far or how high you...
00:16:07How far?
00:16:07How far?
00:16:08And what's your farthest...
00:16:11Furthest jump.
00:16:12Hang on.
00:16:13You stand there.
00:16:13Yeah.
00:16:14I'll show you this right.
00:16:14Don't move.
00:16:15I'll do this right.
00:16:18That far.
00:16:19What?
00:16:21Are you flying?
00:16:23This is not human jumping.
00:16:26Do you spin while you jump?
00:16:28No, no, no.
00:16:28You just literally just jump.
00:16:30He's champion.
00:16:31And I'm going to be champion this week.
00:16:34If you are drag queen, what's the name that you would love?
00:16:38Well, the only one I've come up with is sandy cheeks.
00:16:41Because of the jumping.
00:16:41Because obviously your butt always gets covered in sand anyway.
00:16:44I'm going to name you Sandy Goddess.
00:16:48Let's do it.
00:16:48Oh my God.
00:16:50Wait, you know, it's not on.
00:16:52Look at under.
00:16:52Is it on?
00:16:53Is it on?
00:16:54This one can't fuck me here.
00:16:59Okay, go ahead.
00:17:00Give it a toss-off.
00:17:01Toss-off.
00:17:02Hi, Molly.
00:17:03It's so nice to meet you.
00:17:05Welcome.
00:17:06You were an Olympian.
00:17:07And when did you compete?
00:17:09So I'm a climber.
00:17:10And I competed in the Paris Olympic Games.
00:17:13My first Olympics.
00:17:15And as a climber, what is your impression of all of this?
00:17:19It's very different to my world.
00:17:22You know, sport can be super serious.
00:17:23Um, but it's, this is all about fun and energy and just like being who you are.
00:17:30How would you describe yourself?
00:17:32Oof.
00:17:33I would describe myself as like a bit of a mystery.
00:17:37I see that.
00:17:38I see that.
00:17:39I think I'm, I got a bit of a resting bitch face.
00:17:43I would call beauty.
00:17:46But I'm actually just super friendly and fun on the inside.
00:17:50People just need to like scrape a little off to get to know that.
00:17:53I understand.
00:17:54As soon as I start talking to Molly, I see how amazing she is.
00:17:59There is the sparkle in the eye.
00:18:00She's a bit quiet.
00:18:01So we need to make the, the quietness become into a Beyonce version of herself.
00:18:06But I totally think Molly can pull this off.
00:18:09Have you ever had any styling like this before?
00:18:11No, but I have had box braids with extensions.
00:18:14And I loved the length.
00:18:16It made me feel really confident.
00:18:17I really want this.
00:18:18This is our very last challenge before the final.
00:18:21Is it okay?
00:18:22Does it hurt?
00:18:23Yeah, it's great.
00:18:23No, it's fine.
00:18:23Drag the parts a little bit sometimes.
00:18:25Yeah, but a bit of pain is always a good thing, huh?
00:18:27And I think I have chances because Molly is gorgeous and amazing.
00:18:30Oh my God, you're such a drag queen.
00:18:32Oh my God, we kind of look alike.
00:18:34Mama Molly, you have officially entered the Hannah Fontana family.
00:18:37Molly, you're a drag queen, baby.
00:18:40Ah!
00:18:41Okay, so I feel like I have to ask.
00:18:45Are you queer?
00:18:46I absolutely am gay as the day.
00:18:48Thank God.
00:18:51Love you, Jeffy.
00:18:52So, Shanae, you are an Olympian.
00:18:54Yes.
00:18:54What, BMX, right?
00:18:56I did BMX and track cycling as well.
00:18:58But how do you feel about being in drag?
00:19:01To go to the clubs, do you see the queens?
00:19:04I've seen the queens, but I've never been in drag.
00:19:06Because when I raced yet, my alter ego was Speedy Reedy.
00:19:09Oh my God.
00:19:10Yeah, so when I put that helmet on, I was a weapon.
00:19:13I love that.
00:19:17Shanae's is fully committed.
00:19:18I love that.
00:19:19This is exactly the energy we need in the room right now.
00:19:22I'm going to transform you into a little mini Naomi.
00:19:26And I'm thinking about, because I named myself after Naomi Campbell,
00:19:31I thought about naming you Claudia,
00:19:35because she was also one of the supermodels.
00:19:37Yes.
00:19:38And it's even like a little pun on me being called Naomi,
00:19:42but I'm white, and you being called Claudia,
00:19:45but you're black.
00:19:46So I kind of like the twist of that.
00:19:48Yeah.
00:19:51Kate, why would you wait to the end of the competition
00:19:53to bring out nice things?
00:19:56Don't talk to my Kate later.
00:19:57I'm so...
00:19:59I'm going to turn you into Thai mother.
00:20:06Are you nervous?
00:20:07Yes.
00:20:07Are you?
00:20:09Because personally, I don't like to be around straight men.
00:20:12Oh, why?
00:20:14You know, because, you know, when I was kid,
00:20:16when I was child, I always get bullied from them.
00:20:21So this is quite out of my comfort zone to, like, you know,
00:20:24to make over you.
00:20:25Well, I'm very sorry for the idiots that were in
00:20:28when you were younger or whatever else.
00:20:30I am here for you.
00:20:32You're in control.
00:20:32You're in charge.
00:20:34I'm here to do whatever you want, whatever you need.
00:20:36I think Greg is sweet and cute and gentle man.
00:20:41It's so refreshing that Greg is so open to be in drag.
00:20:46Your scalp is so...
00:20:48Is it big?
00:20:49Huge.
00:20:50Oh, no.
00:20:51In my original season, I did make over challenge,
00:20:54and guess what?
00:20:56I won.
00:20:58Is that a problem?
00:20:59A little bit, but we can fix it.
00:21:02But I'm really nervous.
00:21:04Here is GB's pride.
00:21:06You know, I don't want to fuck it up.
00:21:09You look stunning!
00:21:11It's a bit Miss Trunchbull.
00:21:15But she could throw the hammer.
00:21:17Oh, absolutely.
00:21:18It's so true.
00:21:25How are you feeling so far with it?
00:21:27I think what you do is such a craft.
00:21:29It's an art.
00:21:30And honestly, I'm in awe of what all you do here.
00:21:33When you're at home, does it have, like, a big drag queen population,
00:21:36or do y'all have, like, a big drag scene?
00:21:39So, Swansea doesn't necessarily have a big LGBTQ community.
00:21:45I know Cardiff has a big one.
00:21:46Cardiff has a few drag clubs and things like that.
00:21:48How old were you when you came out?
00:21:50I was quite late coming out.
00:21:51I was 26 when I came out.
00:21:53And I was 24 when I came out to my family.
00:21:55Oh.
00:21:55Yeah.
00:21:56What do you think took so long?
00:21:58I was brought up in the Christian community.
00:22:00I, myself, am a very proud Christian.
00:22:02But I think being brought up in that,
00:22:06you can sometimes feel as if you're being told,
00:22:08like, you can't be Christian and be gay.
00:22:11I was very blessed when I came out.
00:22:13My church was...
00:22:15They didn't change towards me.
00:22:17Do you know what I mean?
00:22:17And that, for me, that's acceptable.
00:22:18That's awesome, yeah.
00:22:19It is awesome.
00:22:20And I understand how privileged I was to have that.
00:22:22I've seen the other side of that.
00:22:23Not with me personally,
00:22:24but I've seen someone very close to me
00:22:26come out in a church setting,
00:22:27and it's gone really bad for them.
00:22:30At the end of the day,
00:22:31the foundation and fundamentals of Christianity
00:22:33is to love thy neighbor.
00:22:35So if you can't be nice to a queer person,
00:22:38don't blame that on your religion or your faith.
00:22:41My life did turn upside down,
00:22:42but it turned the right way around, do you know?
00:22:45And honestly, like, it's the best thing I've ever done.
00:22:48Daniel has reconciled his faith and his identity.
00:22:51I think that's an amazing thing.
00:22:53Well, we got so much work still to do.
00:22:55Well, I've got a lot of work to do.
00:22:56I'm still cutting out your cutlets.
00:22:58So let's get back to work.
00:23:00Oh, my God.
00:23:01Oh, my joints.
00:23:03Just a little bit of cushion for the pushing.
00:23:06Perfect.
00:23:07It's everything I've ever wanted.
00:23:14It's similar to that.
00:23:15Yeah, similar.
00:23:16It's so short.
00:23:17That was a good attempt.
00:23:18I like that.
00:23:19That was good.
00:23:20Hey, people.
00:23:22Oh, my God.
00:23:24Hello, Mommy.
00:23:26Wow, what an unlikely duo.
00:23:29It's a dream team, this is.
00:23:30Yeah.
00:23:31Greg, have you ever done anything like this before?
00:23:33No.
00:23:33I can categorically say absolutely not.
00:23:35Apparently, you have a big gay following.
00:23:38Is that right?
00:23:39Yeah, I've done a few things like covers on Attitude magazine.
00:23:44With your clothes on?
00:23:45And things like that.
00:23:46Mainly off.
00:23:47Mainly off?
00:23:48Really?
00:23:48It's a while ago now.
00:23:48I don't think anybody wants to see that nowadays.
00:23:51But when I was a bit younger.
00:23:52Is being an ally important to you?
00:23:55Massively.
00:23:55Yeah, yeah, hugely.
00:23:56If you're in a position where you can speak up to people that are marginalized,
00:24:00using whatever platform I've had over the years,
00:24:02I think it's really important.
00:24:03Now, Godlin, are you going to have anything that will fit Greg?
00:24:07Of course, Mama.
00:24:07We're going to be mother and daughter.
00:24:10Okay.
00:24:11Yes.
00:24:12All right.
00:24:12We have story about this relationship,
00:24:16and I'm going to perform that on the stage,
00:24:18and you will see it very clear.
00:24:22I can't wait.
00:24:23You're an athlete.
00:24:24You've already got the eye-body connection happening,
00:24:28and that's really the key.
00:24:30I hope so.
00:24:31Well, thank you.
00:24:32You kids have a lot of bonding to do.
00:24:35By bonding, I mean tucking.
00:24:38So close.
00:24:39Looking forward to learning.
00:24:41Come on over.
00:24:42Hi-ya.
00:24:43Is that a cake or is it a hair piece?
00:24:47Looks like they've been singed.
00:24:49I'm sure there's a theme.
00:24:50I don't want to get into it.
00:24:51If memory serves me correctly, the makeover challenge was not your best suit.
00:24:58No, it wasn't.
00:24:58It was the challenge I went home on.
00:25:00Where did you make your mistake?
00:25:01I wanted to make a statement about chosen family that didn't look like a family.
00:25:07I see.
00:25:07So this time we've gone more in the other direction.
00:25:11Yeah.
00:25:12All right, Celia, you and your girlfriend play rugby for the same team.
00:25:16Yes.
00:25:16Are you competitive with her?
00:25:19We play different positions.
00:25:20She's kind of the brains.
00:25:22Uh-huh.
00:25:22And I'm the fast, athletic one.
00:25:25There's a position called the brain.
00:25:27Not quite.
00:25:28There is one position that you might like the sound of.
00:25:31They're called the hooker.
00:25:33Wait, what did you call me?
00:25:36I'm familiar with that position.
00:25:39Yeah.
00:25:39You know, listen, I was young, I needed the money.
00:25:45Maybe this could be the name.
00:25:46Hooker.
00:25:47Hooker Butch.
00:25:48Hooker Butch.
00:25:49We've got it.
00:25:50We've got it.
00:25:50I love it.
00:25:51It all comes together.
00:25:53Yes.
00:25:54Molly and Fontana.
00:25:55Hello, Mama.
00:25:56It's amazing that you were paired together because you actually look like you could be related somehow.
00:26:03Right?
00:26:03Well, we will be soon, huh?
00:26:05You certainly will be.
00:26:06What made you decide to come and join us and do drag?
00:26:10I think I'm a very confident person in front of the wall, but that doesn't really come out in my
00:26:16other areas of life.
00:26:17So I hoped that this experience and meeting someone as amazing as Fontana, hopefully I'll come away feeling a bit
00:26:24more confident.
00:26:25I'm sure you will.
00:26:26So you won your makeover challenge.
00:26:28I did.
00:26:29And the key to that was?
00:26:30So I had to really work on, of course, we're going to make you a comfortable, colorful bride.
00:26:35But there is a lot of discipline behind drag and there's something I think you can really relate to.
00:26:40We'll focus on the language of the body and we're going to turn that into a drag queen.
00:26:44I already won makeover once.
00:26:47I put a lot of pressure on myself to win again.
00:26:50But with the Fontana technique and touch, I think I had chances to join the double-batch club.
00:26:55Have you come up with a drag name?
00:26:57We're working on that.
00:26:58Okay.
00:26:59Your name is Fontana.
00:27:00What would Molly's name be?
00:27:02Montana, because she climbed mountains.
00:27:04I friggin' love that.
00:27:07So what is your concept?
00:27:09So I was thinking about going back to my roots and bringing Montana to a carnival in Rio.
00:27:15Okay.
00:27:15She's not a dancer, but I really wanted her to teach, like, the basic steps of samba because...
00:27:20Okay, samba is very difficult.
00:27:22Is it?
00:27:22Yeah, it is.
00:27:23For us people who are not from Brazil, because it's the opposite.
00:27:28It's not even like a salsa.
00:27:30I actually...
00:27:32I love you.
00:27:33Let's see how it goes.
00:27:34It'll be fun.
00:27:35I love you.
00:27:35Let's make it more difficult.
00:27:38People practice samba for years and years to be able to deliver that on carnival.
00:27:43But as Rue says, this is really hard.
00:27:46All right, kids.
00:27:47Thank you so much.
00:27:48Thank you, mama.
00:27:48I cannot wait.
00:27:49So I might have to adapt the concept a little bit.
00:27:53Daniel and Mariah.
00:27:54Well, hello, hello, hello.
00:27:55Hello, hello, hello, hello.
00:27:58So, Daniel, you've been in these shoes.
00:28:01Since you got here.
00:28:02Yes.
00:28:03I mean, practice makes perfect.
00:28:05And I want to make sure tomorrow, when I'm walking on that stage, I want to be as good as
00:28:09all the other queens in here.
00:28:10That's the sportsman's attitude.
00:28:12How different is competitive swimming to what we do here at Drag Race?
00:28:17I couldn't think of anything more different.
00:28:20You'd never see me swimming with these on.
00:28:21No.
00:28:22And I'm used to having not much clothing on in my job.
00:28:24That's right.
00:28:25So, yeah.
00:28:26Yeah.
00:28:26Yeah, very different.
00:28:27Well, when you're swimming, you're basically tough, though, aren't you?
00:28:30Hmm.
00:28:31No.
00:28:32Maybe.
00:28:33Not that much.
00:28:34Not as much as...
00:28:35You got your bobbly bits.
00:28:36Yeah.
00:28:36Uh-huh.
00:28:37Yeah.
00:28:38Yeah.
00:28:41So, Mariah, this is your first makeover.
00:28:44Have you made people over before?
00:28:46As you know, I'm a mother figure in the house of Balenciaga.
00:28:49I'm the overall godmother, which is a position of mentorship and guidance for a lot of our girls.
00:28:55The concept is...
00:28:57It's actually going to be a category I've walked with one of my real drag daughters.
00:29:01A legendary face, and then you bring your protege.
00:29:05I love that.
00:29:06All right.
00:29:07So, Mariah, have you come up with a drag name yet?
00:29:09Amira Balenciaga.
00:29:11Amira.
00:29:11Oh, that's a pretty name.
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:13Do you like that?
00:29:14I love it, yeah.
00:29:14You approve of that?
00:29:15Absolutely.
00:29:16Okay, good.
00:29:16This is always my favorite challenge because we get to see these other people emerge.
00:29:22So, please, have fun with it.
00:29:24Thank you very much.
00:29:25All right.
00:29:26Naomi and Shanae's, come on over.
00:29:28Hi, Mama.
00:29:29Hello.
00:29:30Hi, Shanae's.
00:29:31How'd you get involved with BMX?
00:29:33Right.
00:29:33I was wild as a kid.
00:29:35I had ADHD.
00:29:36Yeah.
00:29:36We had no money.
00:29:37Yeah.
00:29:37My mom had me at 16.
00:29:39BMX was a pound to do the sport, and I just took off from there.
00:29:42Wow.
00:29:43So, when you retire from BMX, what do you do?
00:29:46Become an alcoholic.
00:29:48Oh.
00:29:48Yeah, I just thought it was a great thing to do.
00:29:50Yeah.
00:29:50You know, like, just the thing, I, yeah, when I retired, I was lost.
00:29:54Like, really, really lost.
00:29:55Yeah, I'm seven years sober now, but being an alcoholic is the greatest gift to ever been
00:29:59given to me.
00:29:59Yeah, I went down a dark path, but as I went down that path, I found myself, so it was
00:30:03the
00:30:03best blessing to happen to me.
00:30:05That's great.
00:30:05That's great to hear that.
00:30:07I can relate.
00:30:09I'm very excited to see what happens.
00:30:12What is your concept?
00:30:13We're going into the Versace realm, and I thought I would be smart about it and present you as
00:30:19something that you probably don't expect.
00:30:22Okay.
00:30:22I'm very excited to see this.
00:30:25Let's go smash it.
00:30:26Thank you so much.
00:30:28All right, listen up, everyone.
00:30:29Those who fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
00:30:34So, don't fuck it up.
00:30:42How much do you value breathing?
00:30:44Not much.
00:30:45I don't even think breathing is important.
00:30:46That's good.
00:30:49We're going full Brazilian here.
00:30:51We're giving you a full BBL experience.
00:30:54Amazing.
00:30:54And your BBL has been sculpted by the icon, Mariah Balenciaga.
00:30:59The best BBL I could ask for.
00:31:00We usually wear petting panties.
00:31:03So, we get a little bit more bang for the buck.
00:31:06Bang for the buck.
00:31:07Bang for the buck.
00:31:07Exactly.
00:31:09To there?
00:31:10Is that?
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:11A bit less.
00:31:12A bit less.
00:31:13Yeah, we will have a little slit as well.
00:31:14Oh, yeah, true.
00:31:15One of the biggest parts of this challenge is making your partner feel comfortable.
00:31:18We'll go a little bit risque.
00:31:20Risque, yes.
00:31:21And knowing what Celia wants, I can create something that is 100% for her.
00:31:25Butch sisters.
00:31:27I didn't say it like it was butch at all.
00:31:28Well done.
00:31:32Brace yourself.
00:31:33There we go.
00:31:35Am I keeping my underwear off?
00:31:37Yeah, keep your underwear.
00:31:38And then this one.
00:31:40Okay.
00:31:40Is he talking?
00:31:42I think we should put talking in the new Olympic sport.
00:31:46And then this one.
00:31:48Okay.
00:31:48Yes.
00:31:49You can do it fast.
00:31:50Correct.
00:31:51Make it disappear.
00:31:54This is a workout, this.
00:31:56You're going to win the gold medal.
00:31:58Guys, I would like to present to you my drag mother.
00:32:01Oh!
00:32:02With her and the bar, I think.
00:32:05Lookin' splendid.
00:32:06Come on.
00:32:07Come on, bulge.
00:32:10Greg Rutherford has an MBE.
00:32:12That is a very meaty tuck.
00:32:14I'm sorry.
00:32:16And Godlin's put him through this.
00:32:18I'm trying to look away.
00:32:20The poor man.
00:32:21Can we get a period up in here?
00:32:23Period.
00:32:29Three, two, one.
00:32:32It's elimination day.
00:32:34This week, our maxi challenge is to make over some iconic Olympians.
00:32:39I think my biggest competition is actually Fontana and Naomi.
00:32:43They are both professional makeup artists.
00:32:46I'm going to rip mine on real quick.
00:32:48Daniel's work ethic is severe.
00:32:51I can't let him down.
00:32:52Teamwork makes our butts squirt.
00:32:54We're going to get this.
00:32:57Say goodbye to your eyebrows.
00:32:59Goodbye.
00:33:01So you look different today.
00:33:03Well, darling, I took all of my hair out last night.
00:33:06Whatever it took to win.
00:33:07Oh, my God.
00:33:08So the hair out to go.
00:33:09That is exactly the kind of determination that I need.
00:33:15This stage is scarier.
00:33:17Is it?
00:33:18Yeah.
00:33:18Oh, no way.
00:33:19Well, I guess anything out of your comfort zone is scary.
00:33:22Right?
00:33:22And this is very much out of my comfort zone.
00:33:25But I'm enjoying it.
00:33:26That's where you grow, right?
00:33:27That is totally right.
00:33:33How are you feeling about today?
00:33:36I, I'm really excited.
00:33:38I'm really excited.
00:33:38I feel like getting the makeover and everything is the bit I've been looking forward to most.
00:33:41But the runway, I'm a little bit upset.
00:33:45A little bit.
00:33:46It is a very daunting thing to do.
00:33:49I'm really excited for the runway today.
00:33:50But I'm treading a fine line between deja vu and PTSD.
00:33:54This is the top five of the season.
00:33:56I got to this exact point last time and then it was over.
00:33:59This time, I'm going to right the wrongs of the last makeover challenge I did.
00:34:02We're telling a different story.
00:34:04I never spent this long on my own makeover.
00:34:13Looking around the room, wow, I cannot even imagine who's going to be in bottom this week, to be honest.
00:34:20We are all top notch.
00:34:22But I do apologize with what you've got to work with here, because you've got this sort of old wrinkly
00:34:27face now, so.
00:34:29You look great.
00:34:31What about you though? How are you feeling today?
00:34:33I am nervous.
00:34:34I feel like his face is very masculine.
00:34:38It's not like my face.
00:34:40So it's very hard work for me.
00:34:42But I am very excited and very thrilled to bring my culture into English guy.
00:34:49I am the second type, like, to be judged by RuPaul.
00:34:52This is quite a huge responsibility to me to, like, represent where I come from.
00:34:58Do you think everybody, I hope they've never had any issue with me dressed in your cultural clothing with them?
00:35:03Oh, it's okay.
00:35:04I just want to bring my culture into the international stage.
00:35:08This is the Olympic of drag.
00:35:10I just hope that I make Thailand proud.
00:35:13I'm proud of my culture and I also want my guests to be in my world.
00:35:17Me and Greg, we have to serve the best of the best.
00:35:21I need that spot in finale so bad.
00:35:29So, babe, how are you feeling this morning?
00:35:32You know what it's made me feel like?
00:35:33It's like race day again.
00:35:34I feel like it's actually like I'm going to the Olympics.
00:35:37Yes, of course.
00:35:38You've got the competitors on today.
00:35:39With Sinead, there's been more than a physical match.
00:35:44It's a spiritual match and I'm really happy with it.
00:35:48I imagine, like, the pressure in the sports has to be crazy high.
00:35:53It is a lot.
00:35:53Like, I've won nine world titles so it was always the expectation of being the world champion.
00:36:00You don't have a bad day at the office.
00:36:01And I actually didn't know anything different but to put the outfit.
00:36:04Like drag.
00:36:05So, you put your outfit and you become a character.
00:36:07So, I just, like, put my helmet on and just peddled around the world.
00:36:09How about, like, retiring?
00:36:11Like, how do you get to the point of retiring?
00:36:13It's funny because I never actually retired.
00:36:16Yeah, it was injuries.
00:36:17So, it really felt like it was ripped away from me.
00:36:20I was like, what do we do now?
00:36:22There's no support.
00:36:23And that then led me, obviously, to become an alcoholic.
00:36:25Like, my mental health deteriorated.
00:36:27Yeah.
00:36:28When the helmet came off, the emotions came up and up.
00:36:32So, I just started drinking.
00:36:33How do you get out of a hole like that?
00:36:35I went to AA.
00:36:36I had to accept I'm not a BMX racer who's world champion anymore.
00:36:39I'm someone who's really, really struggling.
00:36:41And I was like, that is where I am at.
00:36:43Yeah.
00:36:44Not where I was at at the Olympics.
00:36:45Not where I was at in a magazine.
00:36:47This today is where I was at.
00:36:49And when I did that, it was like, okay, let's go.
00:36:52Let's let, what is the path out now?
00:36:54You know, we've been blessed with this skin, with this beautiful face.
00:36:57But what is that?
00:36:58We can go around and keep putting the mask on.
00:37:02But who's the person, the beauty behind the mask?
00:37:04I know it sounds silly, but it's loving oneself.
00:37:07Not anybody else loving you.
00:37:09But just loving the flaws.
00:37:11You're a bit fat around there.
00:37:12Loving it all.
00:37:13Can I hug you?
00:37:14You are just...
00:37:16I have so much respect for this human being because she's still here.
00:37:20She's still with us and she's doing great for herself.
00:37:23So I can't help but just feel very proud of her.
00:37:27Okay, so thank you for sharing.
00:37:30I'm sorry about you this morning, Naomi.
00:37:32You shared a bit of your life.
00:37:33I'm going to continue sharing my life with you.
00:37:36Because, you know, we still got to win today.
00:37:39Yes, let's get back in the game.
00:37:43We are in the Olympics of drag.
00:37:45They were in the Olympics of Olympics.
00:37:47They say it's a marathon, not a sprint.
00:37:50But this is The Last Lab.
00:37:52We are in the Olympics of Olympics.
00:38:22UK versus the world.
00:38:24She's my most valuable player.
00:38:27It's Michelle Visage.
00:38:29Now, Michelle, did you play sports in school?
00:38:31No, but I was known for playing with balls.
00:38:35Oh, no water sports at all?
00:38:37Well, that depends on the evening.
00:38:39And what I would consider water.
00:38:41Right.
00:38:42Thank you very much.
00:38:43And international treasure, Graham Norton.
00:38:47Now, Graham, what's your sport?
00:38:50Does tonsil hockey count?
00:38:53Yes.
00:38:54Okay.
00:38:55Then that.
00:38:57And our extra special guest, Anastasia.
00:39:01Welcome, my love.
00:39:02Do you play sports?
00:39:03Um, no, Rue.
00:39:05I'm not that kind of girl.
00:39:08Well, I guess that makes four of us.
00:39:13This week, we challenge our queens to turn Olympic athletes into drag queens.
00:39:18And tonight on the runway, category is drag family resemblance.
00:39:23Racers, start your engines.
00:39:25And may the best drag queen win.
00:39:34Category is drag family resemblance.
00:39:37Up first, Fontana and Montana.
00:39:41The concept for this runway is sisters hit the carnival in Rio, the biggest party on earth.
00:39:49There is joy.
00:39:50There is happiness.
00:39:51You just want to dance and have fun.
00:39:53Oh, somebody's had a Brazilian.
00:39:56Babes, I'm so proud of Miss Montana.
00:39:59She is delivering.
00:40:01She's the cutest blue mccall ever.
00:40:03Birds of a feather fuck together.
00:40:05Oh, Lord.
00:40:06No mccalls were harmed to create this glam.
00:40:09These animals are actually under a threat, allowed extinction.
00:40:12I'm representing my country, my culture, and a very important cause.
00:40:17I heard she likes a cockatoo.
00:40:22Up next, the only Naomi and the only Claudia.
00:40:26We are serving Versace dynasty today.
00:40:30The only Claudia is serving Donatella realness.
00:40:34And I'm right there with her as her brother, Gianni Versace.
00:40:38Is that you, Hefner?
00:40:41The looks are inspired by a real event where Gianni really pushed Donatella into the limelight.
00:40:49It's an iconic moment in fashion history.
00:40:52The only Claudia is really giving it the model attitude.
00:40:57Don't tell the mama the babysitter's a dead.
00:41:01I see Claudia being a bit more timid than I was expecting, but she's really giving it her best.
00:41:08She's hitting the poses we rehearsed, so I feel very proud of her.
00:41:13She's his muse knuckle.
00:41:19Up next, Godlin and Sandy Goddess.
00:41:23Oh, no!
00:41:28Oh, no, baby.
00:41:31Walk nicely.
00:41:33We're showing you the relationship between Asian mother and her daughter.
00:41:38My mother, Sandy Goddess, may seem strict, but only because she loves me.
00:41:44This look is too tight for her.
00:41:48I am feeling so proud to have Sandy Goddess as my drag mother.
00:41:55She's serving.
00:41:58Out of 10, she's serving 11.
00:42:01Let's go!
00:42:02Yeah!
00:42:03This is the Thai remake of Seabiscuit.
00:42:10Up next, Mariah and Amira Valenciaga.
00:42:14The drapes of raw.
00:42:16This is a legend and their understudy.
00:42:20We are serving glamour.
00:42:22We are serving mugs.
00:42:24We are storming this runway, and I don't think the judges are ready.
00:42:28Aren't you glad you're here?
00:42:32Girl, look how fucking orange we look.
00:42:35We're putting a squeeze on the competition.
00:42:38Yeah.
00:42:40Oh, didn't see that.
00:42:44The judges are living for Amira.
00:42:47It's clearly tense across the board.
00:42:50Get a load of that rhyme.
00:42:54Up next, Kate Butch and Hooker Butch.
00:42:58Oh, that was my nickname in high school.
00:43:01Look at these beautiful sisters.
00:43:04We've been smoking in bed, and we've fallen asleep in front of Pointless.
00:43:08Oh, no.
00:43:09This would have been another fire in the orphanage.
00:43:11Yes.
00:43:13We are trying our best to go our separate ways, but the fire has fused our hands together.
00:43:18Don't smoke in bed, kids.
00:43:20I can see her singe.
00:43:22Mmm.
00:43:23I famously lost all of my makeup skills in a house fire, but I found them again, and I've used
00:43:28them on Celia.
00:43:29Oh, hey, drop it like it's hot.
00:43:31It was hot.
00:43:32It was hot.
00:43:33It was flame.
00:43:33Apparently.
00:43:34I am incredibly proud of Hooker Butch.
00:43:36She is looking fabulous.
00:43:38She's feeling fabulous.
00:43:40She's stunning.
00:43:41Of course she's my sister.
00:43:46Welcome, queens.
00:43:48We are the champions.
00:43:50Yeah!
00:43:53And you have not made it easy on us.
00:43:56Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
00:43:59Up first, Fontana and Montana.
00:44:03Now, this is Molly before, and this is Montana now.
00:44:10I thought this was adorable.
00:44:11I think this was great family resemblance.
00:44:13I can get it, though you're not twins.
00:44:15You are fully coordinated, and you were wonderful together, and you're a gorgeous makeup artist,
00:44:20Fontana.
00:44:20Thank you so much.
00:44:21Oh, my God.
00:44:22I loved you two.
00:44:23I thought you were beautiful together.
00:44:26Super inspiring.
00:44:27Hats off to you.
00:44:28Well, not hats off, but whatever the fuck that is, off to you.
00:44:31Uh, Montana, because this is not, like, day one drag.
00:44:35Well handled, and I guess well taught, Fontana.
00:44:38Montana, when you got into drag, what was the first feeling that you got?
00:44:43With every piece of the outfit, it was just, like, another layer of confidence.
00:44:47And I was so excited to have the full thing on today, just to, like, be born into this, like,
00:44:53confident Montana.
00:44:55It was such an honor.
00:44:56She was absolutely amazing.
00:44:58I love this challenge, and thank you for the amazing critiques.
00:45:01All right.
00:45:02Up next, the only Naomi and the only Claudia.
00:45:07Now, this is Sinead's before, and look at her now.
00:45:13I could tell how nervous Claudia was, and what I loved was what Gianni used to do with Donatella, was
00:45:20he would always look out for her.
00:45:22And it actually captured my heart a little bit.
00:45:25The only problem for me, really big time, is the hair on Claudia.
00:45:29I have an issue with the fringe.
00:45:31The Donatella of the two is sort of more successful.
00:45:34I get the kind of 80s vibe of the jacket and everything, but I feel like the shoulders wouldn't have
00:45:38sloped like that.
00:45:39The sleeves wouldn't have been so long.
00:45:41For me, something about the fit of that jacket and maybe the fit of the trousers didn't quite work.
00:45:45You're a racing biker.
00:45:47You are serving curves, and usually you're riding curves.
00:45:52So this is a whole different rhythm for you.
00:45:54And it was beautiful to see you enjoying it.
00:45:57Even though you were nervous, it didn't matter, because I loved seeing you embrace this.
00:46:02It was great.
00:46:03I've got to tell you, I love a male beat, because you are painted, bitch.
00:46:08You are painted as a man.
00:46:12Yay!
00:46:15All right, so, Claudia, why were you nervous?
00:46:19It wasn't about me.
00:46:20It was about Naomi.
00:46:22I've, like, you've made me feel so, I feel like I'm going to fill up, but you've made me feel
00:46:26so welcome.
00:46:26I just don't want to see Naomi go home.
00:46:29To get the opportunity to meet this beautiful human, I'm just so happy to call you a friend and part
00:46:36of my family.
00:46:38Legit.
00:46:39I am very, very proud of you.
00:46:41All right, thank you.
00:46:44Up next, Godlin and Sandy Goddess.
00:46:48Now, this is Greg before, and look at her now.
00:46:53Oh, my God.
00:46:55She's a mother.
00:46:57I thought the mother-daughter thing worked really, really well.
00:47:00The colors are really beautiful.
00:47:02The glamour is gorgeous.
00:47:03The makeup, I like the hair down, the hair up.
00:47:06Family resemblance is, you know, everybody has their own opinion of it.
00:47:10But the story you told really helped.
00:47:13That sold it for me.
00:47:14I thought this was so clever and so hilarious, and I'm shocked as hell that this is Greg right now.
00:47:22You know Greg from when you did Strictly Come Dancing together.
00:47:25I do.
00:47:26I think he wanted to wear a dress the whole entire time.
00:47:29Oh, really?
00:47:29Every week.
00:47:30He's like, please put me in something.
00:47:32Finally it's happening.
00:47:33Now you know.
00:47:35You understand what we went through every single day.
00:47:39Yes, these.
00:47:39And I realize I don't have the biggest heels in the world, but you're going to hear an Achilles pop
00:47:43off any minute.
00:47:44This is not a particularly pleasant experience.
00:47:48Well, I think you did really well considering you got big plates of meat down there.
00:47:52This is incredible.
00:47:54Sandy Goddess.
00:47:55What's your favorite part?
00:47:56When I first looked at myself in the mirror, I genuinely couldn't recognize myself.
00:48:00And that's such an amazing thing, that transformation and just feeling completely different.
00:48:04It's fantastic.
00:48:05Seen all the hard work as well.
00:48:07Unbelievable what's going on to get to this point.
00:48:08All the queens.
00:48:09And just, it's so much to get here.
00:48:11And it's amazing to see.
00:48:12Godlin, what was the most difficult part of putting Greg into drag?
00:48:17Um.
00:48:17How long you got?
00:48:18He's very huge, massive, and muscular, you know.
00:48:22And the face is very hard to beat.
00:48:25And I'm, like, really happy that I can make it happen.
00:48:30It's very hard.
00:48:32Oh, my God.
00:48:34Oh, my God.
00:48:34Oh, my God.
00:48:35All right.
00:48:36Well, thank you.
00:48:37Up next, Mariah Valenciaga and Amira Valenciaga.
00:48:43Now, this is Daniel before, and this is Amira now.
00:48:50Hmm.
00:48:51Mm-mm-mm-mm.
00:48:52It was just glamour.
00:48:54I think you painted her very similar to the way you painted yourself.
00:48:56And I feel this kinship between you two.
00:49:00When you both walked out, I had no clue who was the Olympian.
00:49:05I was, like, wait, what?
00:49:06I was, like, literally, I was, like, wait a minute, I'm going to have to look at my notes.
00:49:09It just got lost in the beauty.
00:49:11You wear little clothes in the pool.
00:49:14You had the whole padding and everything and wore it as if it was a little swimming costume.
00:49:18So, that was incredibly stunning for me to see.
00:49:21The Mariah Valenciaga School of Drag is open, and students are graduating with flying colors.
00:49:28This is sensational, Mariah.
00:49:30All of you, Olympia, this is amazing, but you really were fabulous on the runway, living your best life.
00:49:35And I imagine you will never see the inside of a swimming pool leisure center again.
00:49:42You're getting in the cab home like this.
00:49:45Now, of course, when I was in the workroom, couldn't get those shoes off of Daniel.
00:49:51And it paid off for you on this runway, because, bitch, you were serving on this runway.
00:49:57You looked gorgeous.
00:49:58This is a really beautiful makeup job.
00:50:00When you saw yourself, what was your first thought?
00:50:03Whoa.
00:50:04Like, literally three letters was whoa.
00:50:07Honestly.
00:50:08But, ah, it's been amazing.
00:50:10What's your favorite part?
00:50:12Uh, the heels.
00:50:13Really?
00:50:14Definitely, yeah.
00:50:14I wanted to go method.
00:50:15Uh-huh.
00:50:16And, um, you know, I have so much respect for these queens, and I know if they were coming
00:50:20into my world, I would want them to give 100% and respect what I do.
00:50:24And it's the other way around.
00:50:25I'm going into their world, and I want to give 100% and respect what they do.
00:50:29Anything else you two would like to add?
00:50:31As soon as I get back to WeHo, I'm pimping her out, and we're going to really get wet.
00:50:37Yep.
00:50:38Yep.
00:50:38All right.
00:50:39Thank you very much.
00:50:40Up next, Kate Butch and Hooker Butch.
00:50:44Now, this is Celia before, and look at her now.
00:50:51It's just camp and drag and ridiculous, but it also looks great.
00:50:56Hooker Butch, she's got some brand new eyebrows all the way up there.
00:51:00And, um, she was living her best life, and the story you told makes sense.
00:51:05Nothing you've chosen has been obvious.
00:51:07This very pale pink and pale gray, it's really arresting and really beautiful.
00:51:11I have to give you credit for coming out of your comfort zone on the field and coming
00:51:17here in pink, which is, I would never guess that you would hit me and make me unconscious,
00:51:23like, in the real life.
00:51:25So, hats off to you.
00:51:27Hooker, what's your favorite part?
00:51:30Do you know what?
00:51:31I just love that I feel so comfortable in this outfit.
00:51:34Kate literally tailored it all to me.
00:51:37She was asking me what I felt comfortable in.
00:51:39Did I want a side slit?
00:51:40I said, hell yeah, nah.
00:51:43Everything made me feel so comfortable.
00:51:46I feel great in this.
00:51:47Kate, the eyebrows are quite the story, aren't they?
00:51:51Walk me through that storyline.
00:51:53I've got a very big face, so my eyebrows are also quite high, and I thought, if she's
00:51:58in my family, make her look a bit surprised.
00:52:03You are amazing.
00:52:04She's going to teach me rugby.
00:52:08All right, well, thank you, queens.
00:52:10I think we've heard enough.
00:52:11Now, while you untuck in the workroom, judges and I will deliberate.
00:52:16You may leave the stage.
00:52:26We're back in and tuck with our Olympians.
00:52:30Everyone's done a great job.
00:52:31I wonder how the Olympians will feel when they are not winning, because these are champions.
00:52:36But this is RuPaul's Drag Race, babes.
00:52:39No one is safe.
00:52:40May I propose a little cheers to our fabulous Olympians this week?
00:52:44Absolutely.
00:52:45Nice, nice, nice, nice.
00:52:47Oh my God, you guys did an amazing job.
00:52:50Thank you so freaking much.
00:52:52Thank you, everybody.
00:52:53You've done amazingly.
00:52:54Do you know what I feel like?
00:52:55Like, I've done a...
00:52:56I've actually raced.
00:52:57Everyone looks amazing.
00:52:58I just think...
00:52:59That's crazy.
00:52:59Yeah, just from what we've gone from, and then looking at everyone, I didn't even recognize
00:53:03when you were still over there.
00:53:04Yeah.
00:53:05I was like, oh, Greg, sorry.
00:53:06I didn't even recognize you.
00:53:07So what I found really interesting is watching you all as you were getting prepared, because
00:53:11it was exactly how I would remember getting ready for the Olympic Games.
00:53:14Everybody started getting quieter.
00:53:16Everybody's sort of looking over at each other.
00:53:17There's these little glances, looking at your competition.
00:53:20Like, it's almost identical.
00:53:21Y'all made it easy for us, but hard for the judges.
00:53:25Yeah.
00:53:26Really did.
00:53:27So all you queens, how are you feeling?
00:53:29No one's ever confident, really, sitting on the sofa like, oh, I'm not lip syncing.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:33Because everyone did such a good job.
00:53:35How are you feeling back there, my love?
00:53:37I am feeling very good.
00:53:38I must say that you guys really, really showed drag excellence on stage tonight.
00:53:45When I was little, I was not allowed to play with dolls, but my climber here today,
00:53:49putting you in drag was just like little gay boy trauma getting healed.
00:53:53It was such a joy.
00:53:55I got compliments on your makeup.
00:53:56I'm like literally dying.
00:53:58I think I'm the one with the most cohesive family resemblance with my sister.
00:54:03Maybe I'm joining the double-batch club.
00:54:05Please, RuPaul.
00:54:07You've been doing amazing consistently the whole competition.
00:54:12It feels so weird because they picked on my outfit and I kind of get the critiques,
00:54:18but also I wanted to fully like have her, have her moment.
00:54:23I feel like I've let my partner down.
00:54:27My part of the makeover might have put us in a bottom.
00:54:31It's just one more week and I want to be there like so bad.
00:54:35Not making the finale would be such a kick in the dick.
00:54:39I really want to show that you don't have to have a badge to be there.
00:54:44Celia, I overheard that when you came, you were looking forward for glam.
00:54:49How are you feeling like with the camp revelation?
00:54:52Do you know what?
00:54:53I absolutely love it.
00:54:55You did adapt and say we could have some glamour with the jewels.
00:54:58First thing you say from the house.
00:55:00You look like glamour.
00:55:02I made this beautiful canvas look just like Kate Butch and that is commendable.
00:55:08If your brows are not halfway up your forehead, are you really doing drag?
00:55:14Go on in, babes.
00:55:15You're quiet over there.
00:55:16Yeah.
00:55:16I feel like I'm maybe in the bottom.
00:55:19It's hard to tell who might be lip syncing.
00:55:22Why?
00:55:23Just like the feeling, the vibes that I get from the churches.
00:55:27There are five of us, but there are only four spots in the finale.
00:55:31Tonight, if I have to lip sync, I'm ready to do so.
00:55:36None of y'all hoes are safe because they couldn't tell the difference between the Olympian and the drag queen.
00:55:41So y'all know I'm a strong bitch.
00:55:42You're going to be on the next series.
00:55:44This is the one time on the runway where I did not get any negative critiques.
00:55:49Oh, I'm feeling so good.
00:55:51When I went home on the makeover challenge, the person I made over felt so guilty.
00:55:57But so, like, whoever goes home tonight, whoever's your makeover partner, it's not your fault.
00:56:02Yes, 100%.
00:56:03They are here to judge us.
00:56:04Yeah.
00:56:04It's nothing to do with how well you performed.
00:56:07Please don't feel guilty.
00:56:08Thank you very much for having us all.
00:56:11Honestly, you've welcomed us with open arms and it's been amazing.
00:56:13Aw.
00:56:14This wig's coming home with me and this dress and these heels.
00:56:17Run, run.
00:56:18Heels are going home with him, but he's also going home with the invoice.
00:56:22He's bought the whole package.
00:56:26Now, just between us squirrel friends, I want to know what you have to say.
00:56:32Let's start with Fontana and Montana.
00:56:35This is so freaking hard, but let's just call it like we seize it.
00:56:39Now, I thought it was beautifully done and gorgeously executed.
00:56:42She got Montana to a great standard on the runway.
00:56:45You know, working that headdress, not easy to do.
00:56:48Their sisterhood worked for me.
00:56:50I didn't really find too many cons.
00:56:52Yeah, I think they looked really great together.
00:56:54They followed the brief.
00:56:55They did everything perfectly.
00:56:56No flaws.
00:56:57All right, let's talk about the only Naomi and the only Claudia.
00:57:01This was a clever idea because Naomi got to look after Claudia and that's sort of inspired.
00:57:08Where it fell down was Donatella's hair and I want to see a Johnny Versace big stiff shoulders.
00:57:15I don't want it to be kind of silky and drapey like that.
00:57:17But I believed that they were brother and sister and I actually really loved the relationship.
00:57:22I definitely didn't feel Naomi was comfortable at all in male drag and Claudia, I didn't feel she was comfortable.
00:57:29The idea that her name was Claudia and they were doing Donatella's hair, there were things that were very off
00:57:35about it.
00:57:36Let's talk about Godlin and Sandy Goddess.
00:57:39Godlin did have the biggest, literally the biggest challenge, but saw the difficulty and turned that into a strength.
00:57:46And when they were acting out the story, I kind of got it and fell in love.
00:57:50Godlin being able to create this softness within Greg was crazy.
00:57:55That in itself shows her talent.
00:57:57The makeup was great. Greg's personality, Godlin's personality, just wonderful.
00:58:02Let's talk about Mariah and Amira Balenciaga.
00:58:06Listen, from the minute they came around the corner, we were wowed.
00:58:09They did something that nobody else did, was pure glamour.
00:58:13And you can tell that Amira was living.
00:58:16Loved every freaking second of that and I was here for that.
00:58:20You know, there have been times during the season when I never thought Mariah Balenciaga would get this far.
00:58:24Agreed, Graham.
00:58:25And tonight, I'm so glad she did because that was sensational.
00:58:32They took the agenda and ticked the box completely.
00:58:36They matched frequencies.
00:58:38The level of glamour and the way they sauntered down the runway.
00:58:42I thought these are family members, a family of call girls, a long line of call girls.
00:58:50Expensive ones, though.
00:58:51Yes.
00:58:51Expensive.
00:58:52Yes.
00:58:52I thought they were fantastic.
00:58:54Kate Butch and Hooker Butch.
00:58:56I don't know what her story is, but I see just an amazing artist.
00:59:00It was totally different from what everyone else did, but she didn't actually give Celia
00:59:07the fantasy she was looking for.
00:59:09Kate looked like her partner.
00:59:12Outfits were made for Hooker Butch and they were great, but poor Hooker has never been able
00:59:19to find them eyebrows because they're trapped in her hairline.
00:59:21Hooker did have a whiff of Fanny Craddock.
00:59:23Yes!
00:59:24I know that Hooker Butch would love to have been in with Mariah with that glabber look,
00:59:33but instead she got the eyebrows from here to here.
00:59:36She forgot about the eyebrows.
00:59:38She was shocked.
00:59:40All right, silence.
00:59:41I have made my decision.
00:59:44Bring back my girls.
00:59:48Welcome back, queens.
00:59:50It's so hard.
00:59:52They all look amazing.
00:59:53They all did so well.
00:59:54I'm like, come on, nail me.
00:59:56I've made some decisions.
01:00:00Mariah, your makeover of our Olympic swimmer was a breaststroke of genius.
01:00:10Fontana, as Samba sisters, you knocked our flocks off.
01:00:18Mariah, congratulations.
01:00:20You are the winner of this week's challenge.
01:00:25And the recipient of a gold Rue Pita badge.
01:00:34And most importantly, you've earned your place in next week's grand finale.
01:00:47And I'm final four.
01:00:50I feel like a superhero.
01:00:52Fontana, you are safe.
01:00:54And you've earned your place in next week's grand finale.
01:00:58Oh, my God.
01:00:59Thank you so much.
01:01:00Come on, Naomi.
01:01:02Come on.
01:01:03You may both step to the back of the stage.
01:01:07Thank you so much.
01:01:15The only Naomi, your Versace storyline made me verklempt.
01:01:22Wow.
01:01:22And not in a good way.
01:01:24Yeah.
01:01:25I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
01:01:34Godlin, in your makeover, we wanted to see stronger family ties.
01:01:43Kate Butch, this week, your singed looks raised eyebrows.
01:01:51Maybe a little too hard.
01:01:56Godlin, you are safe.
01:02:00Oh.
01:02:01And you've earned your place in next week's grand finale.
01:02:07Thank you so much.
01:02:09You may step to the back of the stage.
01:02:20Which means Kate Butch.
01:02:22I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
01:02:27I got it.
01:02:30Kate, I love you.
01:02:32It's been wonderful getting to know Naomi during this competition.
01:02:35But right now, it is me or her.
01:02:38Two World Wars and one World Cup.
01:02:40And one lip-sync for your life.
01:02:43Two internationally acclaimed queens stand before me.
01:02:51I've been sulted with the judges, but the final decision is mine to make.
01:02:57Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance of Left Outside Alone by Anastasia.
01:03:06Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
01:03:17The time has come for you to lip-sync for your life.
01:03:29Kate, I love you, but you've got to move out of the way, because I need to be in that
01:03:35final.
01:03:37My heart, right?
01:03:39I actually feel sick.
01:03:40Thanks.
01:03:41Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
01:03:47All my life, I've been waiting for you to bring a fairy tale my way.
01:03:55Been living in a fantasy without meaning.
01:04:00It's not okay.
01:04:03I don't feel safe.
01:04:05I don't feel safe.
01:04:13Broken, empty, in the spell.
01:04:16Wanna breathe, can't find it.
01:04:18Thought you were sent from up above, but you and me never had love.
01:04:23So much more, I have to say.
01:04:25Help me find a way.
01:04:28Let's go!
01:04:30And I wonder if you know how it really feels to be left outside alone.
01:04:37To be left outside alone.
01:04:39Let's go!
01:04:39I'll tell you all my life, I've been waiting for you to bring a fairy tale my way.
01:04:49Been living in a fantasy without meaning.
01:04:54It's not okay.
01:04:56I don't feel safe.
01:04:58I need to pray.
01:05:05Heavenly Father.
01:05:06Oh, Heavenly Father.
01:05:10Save me.
01:05:11Oh, save me.
01:05:13Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:05:17Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:05:17And I wonder if you know how it really feels to be left outside alone when it's cold out here.
01:05:26Well, maybe you should go on just how it feels to be left outside alone.
01:05:33To be left outside alone.
01:05:35All my life, I've been waiting for you to bring a fairy tale my way.
01:05:45It's not okay.
01:05:47I don't feel sorry.
01:05:50Find me too late.
01:05:55I don't feel sorry.
01:05:59I don't feel sorry.
01:06:06I don't feel sorry.
01:06:21You've earned your place in next week's grand finale.
01:06:27You may join the other girls.
01:06:28I love you, baby.
01:06:30I love you.
01:06:32Don't worry.
01:06:33Don't worry about it.
01:06:41Naomi, you will always be our one and only.
01:06:48Now, sashay away.
01:06:51Thank you so much, Mama Ru, for taking me on this journey.
01:06:54I got to meet so many beautiful new people.
01:06:58I learned so much about myself.
01:06:59So all I have is love.
01:07:02So thank you.
01:07:04Auf Wiedersehen.
01:07:05Auf Wiedersehen.
01:07:06Naomi!
01:07:08Naomi Naomi!
01:07:10I love you!
01:07:11Well, Ru, don't expect any sleepovers at my place soon, okay?
01:07:14And Michelle, you can sleep on the rug.
01:07:20Okay.
01:07:22I was so close.
01:07:25Goddammit!
01:07:27I feel a bit sad, to be honest.
01:07:30But I feel very accomplished because I went above and beyond what I expected from myself.
01:07:36My only regret is probably going out like this.
01:07:40I really want it to be pretty.
01:07:43Oh, hi, baby.
01:07:46Hi.
01:07:48Honestly, Naomi, it's been incredible.
01:07:51And the journey isn't finished here between me.
01:07:53Oh, no, it's just darling.
01:07:54Absolutely. Yes, it is.
01:07:57Congratulations to my top four queens.
01:08:01Now, I want to hear from you, our fabulous viewers.
01:08:05Who do you think deserves to be the next queen of the mother tucking world?
01:08:11Are you team Fontana?
01:08:16Are you team Godlin?
01:08:20Are you team Kate Butch?
01:08:26Or are you team Mariah Balenciaga?
01:08:33Let your voice be heard.
01:08:35And tune in next week for the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. The World,
01:08:41where we will crown ourselves a winner, baby.
01:08:45Now, remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
01:08:49Can I get an amen up in here?
01:08:51Amen!
01:08:52All right, now let the music play.
01:09:07Next time on the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. The World,
01:09:11I think we might be reuniting with some familiar faces.
01:09:16Who's bringing the potato salad?
01:09:19Welcome back, our previously eliminated queens.
01:09:23It felt kind of impolite.
01:09:26Is there anything you want to say?
01:09:27Oh, I have a lot to say.
01:09:29Was there ever a UK alliance?
01:09:31Well, clearly not.
01:09:34Why are you, like, so pressed about it?
01:09:39The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. The World is...
01:09:48The World is...
