00:01Good morning, professors.
00:03Good morning, Ruth.
00:04A new class is arriving ready to change their lives through the miracle of drag.
00:10Today we have three women who have found themselves suddenly single.
00:14That means I'm going to need the help of the following professors.
00:18Professor Manila Luzon, Dr. Angina, Chanel, PhD.
00:25I'm counting on you to teach these girls that one is definitely not the loneliest number.
00:30Let's take a look.
00:33I'm Chris, I'm 43, and I work as a construction inspector.
00:37I had a 12-year relationship that broke up about a year ago that basically just put my heart through
00:42a meat grinder.
00:43I am most attracted to strong feminine women, and why shouldn't I be that myself?
00:50My name is Annie, and I'm 30 years old.
00:53My boyfriend, Ray, just passed away in October.
00:56He got leukemia.
00:57We were actually thinking about getting married before he got sick.
01:01So it's kind of tough.
01:04There are days where I don't even want to get out of bed.
01:06I believe that if I don't move on, I would start being isolated to the world.
01:14My name is Marcia Taylor. I'm 34 years old. I'm a single mom with three kids.
01:18My ex-husband damaged my self-esteem.
01:21My last date was when I was 19 years old, and that turned into marriage and children.
01:26So I'm ready to go forward with life.
01:29Touchdown Drag U!
01:36Welcome to RuPaul's Drag U.
01:40Ladies, you're here because you said that you're single, but not quite ready to mingle.
01:45Now, through the power of drag, we're going to teach you the greatest love of all, how to love yourself.
01:50That, a pair of pumps and a pussycat wig, and you'll be beating them off of a stick.
01:56But RuPaul's Drag U, like the real world, is a competition.
01:59You'll be evaluated on your DPA, your drag point average.
02:03D is for drag transformation.
02:05P is for performance.
02:07And A is your attitude adjustment.
02:10You have 48 hours until your draguation.
02:12And in the end, only one of you will draguate with top honors.
02:16And walk away with a fabulous Drag U scholarship.
02:20Julissa, tell us what you'll win.
02:22Well Ru, our top draguate will receive
02:25Exquisite jewelry from Bijou Tresor.
02:28A luxury vacation for two from alinchuck.travel.
02:31And that's not all.
02:32The top draguate will also receive a cash prize of $3,166.17, courtesy of Krylon Cosmetics.
02:44Are you ready to do whatever it takes to become the baddest bitch in school?
02:48Yes!
02:50Can I get a Ru-Ha?
02:51Ru-Ha!
02:52Can I get a what-what?
02:53What-what?
02:55First stop, the Drag Lab.
02:57Walk this way.
03:02I mean really, walk this way.
03:06Door.
03:12This is the Drag Lab.
03:16Here is everything you'll need for your diva transformation.
03:20It's filled with more glitter, glamour, and attitude than the ladies' room at the Golden Globes.
03:26There's wigs, jewelry, shoes.
03:29I mean, this is just over the top.
03:31But the most important tool of all is your own personal drag professor.
03:37All right, Annie.
03:38You're with Angina.
03:40Hi.
03:41First we're gonna start burning that overalls off.
03:44Can I get a match?
03:46Marcia.
03:47Yes.
03:47You are with Chanel.
03:49All right.
03:50The color of her skin is beautiful because it's like a warm, warm mocha.
03:54Painter's dream.
03:56Chris.
03:56You are with Manila Luzon.
03:59Hi.
04:00Chris's style is, well, none.
04:03Professors, it's time to take your students through their entrance exams.
04:11Biggest regret in life?
04:13Marrying the man that I married.
04:15We got married young, but I did get out of it, so I made a big transition to Los Angeles,
04:20California from Chicago.
04:21You left everything.
04:22A teaching job, my friends, my family.
04:25Marcia has been married since the age of 19.
04:28I want to help her rekindle her youth again.
04:31Who was your hero when you were a little kid?
04:33Punky Brewster.
04:34I love her clothes.
04:35It was colorful.
04:36It was fun.
04:38How long have you been single for?
04:39Five months.
04:40My boyfriend just recently passed away.
04:43Oh.
04:43What was your boyfriend's name?
04:45Ray.
04:46Ray.
04:48Sorry.
04:49No, it's okay.
04:52For such a tragedy in Annie's life, I still see a beautiful, happy person.
04:58That's something that I'm gonna need to pull out of her so that she knows she's not alone.
05:01She doesn't have to be single forever.
05:03I'm gonna put you in some sequins and hopefully it'll make you very happy.
05:07Okay.
05:08Yay!
05:09If you were to have a celebrity crush, who is it?
05:14Katie Lang.
05:15Oh!
05:15Oh, Miss Chris is a lesbian, okay.
05:20I do construction inspection.
05:22Being female is a weakness in construction.
05:25I don't really know exactly where I fit in,
05:27but I just know that I'm not as butch as I look.
05:31When we're done here, you are going to be super fancy.
05:35Oh, time's up, pencils down.
05:37Meet me at the Dragulator.
05:39Now, this is the new and improved Dragulator.
05:43It will determine your drag name
05:45and give you a glimpse at your diva potential.
05:48Marcia, let's start with you.
06:03Commence Dragulation.
06:06Dragulation complete.
06:10Lonnie Fellini.
06:11Oh!
06:12Wow.
06:13I don't know that, girl.
06:14You will.
06:15She's sexy.
06:15She's sexy.
06:16Chanel, can you carve Lonnie Fellini out of this girl here?
06:21Done.
06:22Done and done.
06:22Done.
06:23I didn't see that potential.
06:25I'm just hoping that tomorrow I can really make that happen.
06:29Annie, it's your turn.
06:30Okay.
06:31Go, Annie.
06:32Annie.
06:35Commence Dragulation.
06:39Dragulation complete.
06:42Go, Go West.
06:47I like it a lot.
06:51I like it a lot.
06:51When I see Annie light up, it gives me hope knowing that I can totally transform this sad
06:57girl into the happy, punky Brewster girl that she is.
06:59We're gonna kill it, right?
07:01Yes, we are.
07:02Last but not least, Chris.
07:09Commence Dragulation.
07:12Dragulation complete.
07:15Caprice Classic.
07:17Oh.
07:17Wow.
07:19Oh my.
07:19Pretty.
07:20Twiggy.
07:21Look at the chassis on her.
07:23I don't have that kind of cleavage.
07:25That's what you think.
07:26Yeah.
07:27Now, can you see yourself turning into that?
07:31I don't know what to say.
07:33I'm not really sure about wearing pink.
07:35It's just not my favorite color.
07:37And the hair I don't like so much.
07:41Oh, crap.
07:42This one's gonna be tough.
07:45Coming up, I want you to snap an alluring online photograph.
07:52And later.
07:53The bells are ringing, girl.
07:55It is time to drag you ace.
07:56There's so much to do.
07:59Are you ready for me?
08:06Ladies, it's time for your first class.
08:09You're about to get a lady lesson.
08:15Good morning, class.
08:17Good morning, Lady Bunny.
08:19Now, you single ladies need our help to get back on the market.
08:22And nobody knows more about selling herself than Lady Bunny.
08:26In fact, she's been arrested several times.
08:29How was I supposed to know he was a cop?
08:33Now, Bunny, I want you to teach them how to snap an alluring online photograph.
08:39Ladies, learn it.
08:40And learn it well.
08:42The secret to having a sexy online profile picture is...
08:47Use someone else's.
08:48Oh, much prettier and younger.
08:50I use Pamela Anderson.
08:51I look just like her from this angle.
08:54But seriously, let's refer to the drag you handbook for the do's and don'ts of taking an online picture.
09:01Tip number one.
09:02Find your light.
09:04Light from behind or above makes you look like a serial killer.
09:09Make sure you have the light directly in front of you.
09:14Much better.
09:16Tip number two.
09:18Get it up.
09:19The camera, that is.
09:20If the camera's too low, all you get is chin.
09:23Oh, no.
09:24By placing the camera higher than the subject, you'll take a more flattering picture every time.
09:31Tip number three.
09:33To enhance your natural beauty, apply light makeup.
09:36For example.
09:38Of course, there's no such thing as light makeup on a drag queen.
09:42But for you ladies, wet lips, thick lashes, and cover the shiny spots with powder.
09:47Okay, ladies, let's get snapping.
09:49Even your drag professors will help because nothing says I have no friends like taking a picture of yourself in
09:54front of a mirror.
09:55Especially if it's broken.
09:57Oh, dear.
09:58What do you want your picture to say?
10:00I would like it to say sexy, but I don't know the first thing about sexy.
10:03Well, then take off your top.
10:04There we go.
10:05Yes.
10:06See, that's hot.
10:09Wind machine.
10:10Go on, girl.
10:12Okay.
10:13Remember, no backlighting, because only the Virgin Mary looks good with backlighting.
10:19All right.
10:20Up a little higher.
10:21Do you want it even higher?
10:22She got this planned out.
10:24Think I could snag one with that?
10:25I think you're actually going to snag several.
10:27Here's what we want to avoid.
10:28The underneath ghoulish lighting.
10:31Happy Halloween.
10:32Now, if you could take it from a higher.
10:35All right.
10:36Exactly.
10:36There you go.
10:37She's learning.
10:38Spicy Asian.
10:39All right.
10:40Move them right in front of her face.
10:42Sexy smile.
10:44You're just so cute.
10:45You do need to be careful, because there's a lot of sickos in online dating.
10:50I've got three of them coming over tonight.
10:53You ladies did great.
10:56Your inboxes will be full in no time.
10:58And that's today's Lady List.
11:01Bye.
11:02Bye, Lady Bunny.
11:07I am in love with this photo.
11:10What do you think?
11:11I don't know about the short hair.
11:13I think it looks cute.
11:14Chris isn't feeling the short wig.
11:15I feel like I'm starting at, like, square one.
11:18I absolutely love this color.
11:20I do love color.
11:22It's got a great plunging neckline to really accentuate the cleavage.
11:25Try that on.
11:26If you need a zip, let me know.
11:27A little drum roll.
11:30Come on, let's see how it looks.
11:35Okay, I really like the dress.
11:39However, I don't like it on you.
11:42I was like, ugh.
11:43The thing I'm most nervous about is standing there looking frumpy.
11:47So, I definitely have my work cut out.
11:51So, this kind of looks like the twiggy look in your Dragulator picture.
11:55Let's just try it on to make sure that, you know, we're positive we don't want this to be your
12:00look.
12:01Chris is working in construction, being a lesbian, wearing a short wig.
12:05She just looks like Susie Orbit.
12:07I'm not feeling it.
12:08No.
12:10Maybe we need to go with a little bit longer.
12:12This is really cool.
12:14I always buy my wigs in multiples.
12:17Just add more.
12:18That is awesome.
12:19Oh, that's so cute.
12:21When Chris has long straight hair, she feels sexy.
12:25Okay, I think we're going to do this hair.
12:27Okay.
12:28Right?
12:28Yes.
12:29So, we're making baby steps in the right direction.
12:33I walk like a runway model.
12:35And if my girl cannot walk like a runway model,
12:38I'm going to put her in a plastic bag and throw her over the ocean.
12:41Go.
12:42Annie, surprise me!
12:44This little Go-Go Wes can actually frolic in six inch stilettos.
12:49Oh, okay.
12:51Okay, Miss Ha-Ha.
12:53Yay!
12:54Amazing!
12:55Pink.
12:56Ew, pink.
12:57No.
12:57Yuck.
12:57No pink?
12:58No pink.
12:59You sure?
12:59Yeah.
13:00Just because you said that, you're putting it on your body.
13:03I'm just saying.
13:04Pink.
13:05Ugh.
13:05Oh, are you sure?
13:06Pink.
13:06This isn't pink.
13:07This is purple.
13:08Maybe like a cute, pushy print.
13:10This is 60s.
13:11Ugh.
13:12No.
13:13The last time I wore a dress, I was 20 years old.
13:1720 years ago.
13:1923 years ago.
13:20Oh, my gosh.
13:21Okay.
13:21Well, that's about to change.
13:22You're going to put on a dress.
13:24You're going to put on three dresses.
13:25****
13:25You're going to put on every single dress here, girl.
13:29Coming up.
13:30Lucy.
13:31Work it.
13:32Ow!
13:33Ow!
13:34Oh, my gosh!
13:35It's okay to say I suck, because I know I do.
13:39Want to get nailed?
13:40Here are some drag queen secrets about nail polish.
13:42Is your nail polish bottle all dried out?
13:44Add a couple drops of nail polish remover.
13:46Stir.
13:47Good as new.
13:48Is your nail polish bubbling up?
13:49Never shake it.
13:50No.
13:51Just roll it in the palms of your hands.
13:52Wet nails not drying fast enough?
13:54Spritz with cooking spray.
13:58Nail polish goes bad in the heat.
14:01So always store it someplace cool.
14:03Are you ready?
14:07Nailed it.
14:18The last time I wore a dress, I was 20 years old.
14:23Oh, my gosh.
14:23I'm pretty intimidated, but I am going to trust the process and trust Manila.
14:30All right.
14:33Oh, my gosh.
14:35What do you think?
14:37I feel okay.
14:39Wearing a dress for the first time in 20 years, I felt a bit like a stuffed sausage.
14:45But it was all right.
14:46It was a little girly and I kind of liked it.
14:48It's your first dress in over 20 years.
14:51And it's the pink one.
14:51I don't dislike the pink as much as I thought I would.
14:55Kris is starting to warm up to the color pink.
14:57So the dress is a go.
14:59We're making some progress.
15:02What about doing something like this to accentuate your boobies and then like cut it so you can like show
15:09your midriff?
15:10I'm not a show midriff girl.
15:12Why?
15:13You're so skinny.
15:14Do you have a rice belly?
15:15Yes, me too.
15:16Oh, my God.
15:18It's the rice pooch.
15:19I know.
15:20Oh, I love this top.
15:21We'll cut it short and show your midriff.
15:23No midriff.
15:25I don't know if Annie knows this, but I get my way.
15:28So maybe we might see a midriff.
15:31Hurry up, little fishy.
15:33You have a rice belly? Embrace it.
15:36No.
15:37I said N-O no.
15:39I think I said no like five times.
15:41I'm really into this midriff thing.
15:42I know and I can't understand why.
15:45We've got a huge array of wigs here.
15:47So even, you know, the ones on the table.
15:49Is there any in particular that stand out to you that maybe we can try on just so you can
15:53kind of get some different ideas?
15:54I don't like the red.
15:55You like the red.
15:55Okay.
15:56Marcia picks up this horrible red wig.
15:59It is like the ugliest wig and she's like, I love it, I love it, I love it.
16:03I said, girl, no, it's ugly.
16:04I think maybe if you put a wig like this on it would kind of help you feel less of
16:09a mother of three.
16:10And maybe a little more diva perhaps.
16:12Definitely.
16:13Let's try it.
16:13I don't even know if my kids would recognize me in that one.
16:15And that's what the game plan is all about.
16:20Hello, Ladykins.
16:21I've come to check on your wigs and gowns and things of that nature.
16:26All right, Gogo, now the Dragulator had you all decked out in black.
16:31Are you going to go with that?
16:32No, I want some color.
16:33Did Gogo decide this or did you decide this for her?
16:36It was an Asian team collaboration.
16:38Yes.
16:39Sisters.
16:40All right.
16:41Marcia, the Dragulator had you as a redhead.
16:43Yes.
16:43I like blonde hair.
16:45I like red as well.
16:46Can we see that one on her?
16:50Oh, yeah.
16:50Okay.
16:51No.
16:52No.
16:53Wow.
16:54You know, honestly, we're really not certain.
16:56So you're leaving your options open.
16:57Yeah, absolutely.
16:58All right.
16:59Get to it.
17:01Caprice.
17:01Yes.
17:02Now, the Dragulator gave you a 60s mod look.
17:04Are you going to go with the pixie cut, the hair?
17:06It wasn't very attractive.
17:08Definitely not femme.
17:09So what hair are you going to do?
17:11We're looking at long, long hair.
17:13So is the long hair going to be in a 60s motif?
17:16Yeah.
17:16We're going to, like, jacket in the back.
17:18So you're turning into a real girly girl.
17:19Yes.
17:20All right.
17:20Thank you, Caprice.
17:21Now it's time to step away from the outfits.
17:25Put on your I Heart Iron Fist shoes and meet me at dance class.
17:31Where are my girls at?
17:33Make your heels clap.
17:36In order to be a drag queen, you need to be able to perform.
17:39So these girls need to learn how to move.
17:42I'd like you to meet our Dean of Dance, Andre Fuentes.
17:46Hello, ladies.
17:47Hi, Andre.
17:47Andre.
17:48He's going to prepare you for your final drag examination.
17:50A full-on lip sync performance.
17:53In front of a live audience, including your family and friends.
17:58I'm thinking, how am I going to do this on stage in front of my family?
18:03Oh, my goodness.
18:05Andre, what song have you chosen to set these women free?
18:08Call Me by Blondie.
18:11I love Blondie and Debbie Harry.
18:14She rocks.
18:15I have Blondie t-shirts, Blondie CDs.
18:17I know this song.
18:18Andre, let them have it.
18:22Let's go, ladies.
18:23Okay.
18:23All right.
18:23If these ladies can pull it off, they could have anybody take a look at them and say,
18:28hey, you know, call me.
18:30One at a time, I want you guys to just dance like nobody's watching.
18:34Think outside the box.
18:35The reason why I'm having the ladies dance with the blindfold is so they can be comfortable
18:38with themselves.
18:40Anne.
18:41Ooh.
18:42I can't feel it.
18:43She's giving you a lot of sex.
18:45Annie is cutting the dance floor.
18:47That girl boogies.
18:49Oh.
18:52Yes.
18:53Okay.
18:54She's like really feeling it.
18:56She's just going with the flow.
18:57I said, yes, work it.
18:58All right.
18:59Let's go, girl.
18:59You ready?
19:01Oh.
19:03Oh.
19:05Holy crap.
19:07I look over at Manila and she has the face of a ghost.
19:10I think she's a little bit scared that Miss Chris cannot dance.
19:14Four around the world with that hip.
19:16One.
19:17And two.
19:18Take the dice and blow and honey, let's go.
19:22That's going to be your signature move.
19:23Andre's trying to teach us the moves and I am holding everyone back.
19:28You okay?
19:29No.
19:31Chris.
19:31All the way down.
19:33She can't walk in heels, she's never worn a dress, and she sure as hell can't dance.
19:38Set up.
19:40All right.
19:41Can I have the queens up, please?
19:42Five, six, seven, eight.
19:49I feel like I have a pretty good chance at nailing the dance, but boy, that Annie, that's going
19:54to be my competition.
19:56I'm proud to say class dismissed.
19:58Thank you, guys.
19:59Bye.
20:00We love you.
20:01I feel bad slowing everybody else down.
20:03No, no, no.
20:03You've never worn high heels until today.
20:05Yeah.
20:06And now you're doing dance moves in them.
20:08It's okay to say I suck, because I know I do.
20:10Oh, no.
20:11You don't suck.
20:12For a beginner?
20:14Like, right now?
20:15I...
20:16Okay.
20:16I don't want to suck tomorrow.
20:18Well, you're not going to suck tomorrow.
20:19I actually came here because I really did want to gain some confidence.
20:26I've never felt comfortable in this body.
20:30And after the dance, I don't feel any more comfortable.
20:36Coming up, Marcia is about to have diarrhea or something.
20:40That smells like a disaster.
20:41You just have to feel it.
20:44And now, a word from the president of Drag U, RuPaul.
20:50Escándalo.
20:54This has been a word from President RuPaul.
20:57Drag U, are you ready for me?
21:01Here we go. Drag U.
21:07Today's Draguation, dance did not go well yesterday, and I am pretty terrified.
21:13There's so much to do.
21:15Time's a chicken.
21:18Good morning.
21:19Good morning.
21:19Good morning.
21:21Good morning.
21:21Good morning.
21:23When I was watching Annie, she brought a level of sassiness that I was not expecting.
21:30Yeah.
21:30We were doing the runway thing in here yesterday, and what I envision in my head is ferocity.
21:36I thought I had to walk down, Pat, and I was exuding that confidence.
21:40Make this.
21:42If you even want to snap with it, do that.
21:44Yes.
21:44Yes.
21:45What are you doing over there?
21:47Marcia has a look in her face like she's about to have diarrhea or something.
21:50She is, like, so scared.
21:52That, to me, smells like a disaster.
21:54Turn right back around.
21:57No.
21:58No.
21:58You have a bend in them.
21:59I think I pushed enough buttons there to really kick her ass into high gear.
22:03Yes.
22:08Hi, Gogo.
22:10Hi.
22:10Have a seat.
22:12What's been the scariest part of moving forward here at Drag U?
22:15I'm so used to this depressed feeling.
22:19I'm so comfortable with it.
22:21What you're saying is your identity is tied into the grieving.
22:24Yes.
22:24I think that the best way for you to honor Ray's memory and the love that you share is
22:28to live life to the absolute fullest.
22:30And I know that's what Ray would want for you.
22:34I agree.
22:36So let's do it.
22:37I'm going to have fun with this.
22:39All right.
22:40Now, go, go, go, go.
22:42I want to prove to myself that my old self could come back.
22:47I need to go on with my life.
22:51Did you practice walking in heels last night?
22:54I practiced the dance because I feel that's my weakest spot.
23:00If you can't get the choreography done, then you just have to fake it.
23:04It may look different from what these other two girls are doing,
23:07but as long as you've got your lip sync right, you're going to be good.
23:11Okay.
23:11You know how to do the swim?
23:14Yeah, there you go.
23:15It's really easy because everyone was on the LSD.
23:18So you just have to feel it.
23:20Manila is amazing.
23:22I'm in good hands.
23:25Lonnie Fellini.
23:26So you want a man.
23:27I want a man like yesterday.
23:29Is it okay if you didn't have a man and dated a few different people?
23:33You know, that would be okay because I was married and that wasn't the right thing for me.
23:38How long into the relationship did you realize this is not going in the right direction?
23:43Within the first 24 months.
23:45But you hung in there anyway.
23:46That's for my kids.
23:47I feel like I just sacrificed for them.
23:51And you let yourself fall behind.
23:53That's what it is.
23:54And honestly, the strength that you want to lean on in a relationship is actually the relationship you're creating here
24:01with Lonnie Fellini.
24:02Yeah.
24:03The pain from my past and not living for myself at all.
24:07I need to put that to the side and go forward.
24:10You look like you dance.
24:12Yeah.
24:13Until Ray got sick.
24:15I used to be like you guys.
24:18And then I lost it.
24:19Chanel can really relate to this situation.
24:21I lost my mother a year and a half ago.
24:23And my mother was...
24:25Your best friend.
24:26My best friend.
24:27My world.
24:27She was everything.
24:28I had never experienced a death really.
24:30I mean, I never really...
24:31Yeah.
24:32There's no words that anybody could ever say to make it easier.
24:36But the fact that you're here doing this for you and for him, it's beautiful.
24:41He is aware of what you're doing.
24:43He is watching and he is guiding.
24:45I know exactly what you feel.
24:47Yeah.
24:48Oh.
24:53Knowing that someone else is going through similar feelings that I am, that I'm not alone.
24:59Ray may be gone now, but you know that he's your angel and you're going to be in good hands.
25:03I'm going to go out there and just have the time of my life.
25:06Okay.
25:06Kick some ass.
25:07Yes, I am.
25:08All right.
25:09Your balls look really awful and wrinkly, so you need to figure it out.
25:13Who or what is your saboteur?
25:16Oh, myself.
25:17Absolutely.
25:18Really?
25:18And what are the kind of things that your inside voice tells you?
25:22I'm kind of nobody, just a dumpy construction worker.
25:26I have a sense, though, that that voice that you hear is something that you've carried with you since childhood.
25:33I wonder whose voice that is.
25:35My mom was an alcoholic.
25:37And Dad left when I was five.
25:43It was hard as a kid.
25:45We were on welfare.
25:47I mean, we had our hair cut off because it was matted.
25:50Roaches would run across me at night, and then every few weeks, my dad would come pick us up in
25:55his convertible Mercedes
25:57and tell us, don't touch anything until you get to the house and take a shower.
26:02And you've carried that into your adult life.
26:05And here's an opportunity for you to sort of reparent yourself and really take care of yourself in a way
26:10that no one ever has.
26:13I don't know how, but I feel that Ru knows me.
26:16And he knows what I need to hear and what I need to do.
26:22The bells are ringing, girl.
26:24It is time to drag you in.
26:27I'm nervous, but at least Chanel's here with me.
26:30And she's really helping me to calm down and put what she knows I have in me out there on
26:36the runway.
26:37My mom's a very hard-working person.
26:39She does a lot for us, and I can't wait to see her on the runway.
26:44I'm really starting to sweat.
26:46How am I going to walk in heels, let alone dance in heels?
26:50I don't think I've ever seen Chris all done up with makeup, so I have no idea what to expect.
26:56I want to make Ray feel proud of me, and I also want to make myself proud.
27:00So I'm going to kick some butt.
27:04Annie's a really good friend of mine.
27:05She's had a pretty tough time lately, and I hope she looks great.
27:11Faculty, friends, and family.
27:13It's time to draguate, bitches.
27:24Faculty, friends, and family.
27:26Please welcome your Drag U professors, Chanel, Manila Luzon, and Angina.
27:34And the president of Drag U, RuPaul.
27:45Welcome to RuPaul's Drag U.
27:47Here to evaluate my girls are the Falca team.
27:51Our dean of drag, the Lady Bunny.
27:54Now, Lady Bunny, you know a lot about being single, don't you?
27:57Oh, I'm single now.
27:58I just got dumped by this guy I was seeing in a wheelchair.
28:01He said he was tired of getting pushed around.
28:04Now, filling in for our dean of dance, a funny man who's light on his feet and in his loafers.
28:09Alec Mapa is here.
28:11And you loved her in Ugly Betty.
28:14The beautiful Ana Ortiz is here.
28:19During their time here at Drag U, our class of suddenly single ladies have joined forces and are ready to
28:26turn it out.
28:27Now, let the draguation commence.
28:30Chris lost her sex appeal while working in construction.
28:34Now she works the runway, and her new tool is seduction.
28:38Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Caprice Classic.
28:52I have spent my life trying to blend in with men on a construction site.
28:56And I have learned through Drag U that I am ready to stand out.
29:02I'm ready to take my new strength into life and into a new relationship.
29:06I am in shock. Caprice is serving Catwoman realness.
29:11Ow!
29:14Annie came here feeling lost and blue.
29:18Now she's busting out with a new attitude.
29:20Ladies and gentlemen, go, go West!
29:30When I arrived, I was heartbroken by the loss of my boyfriend, and I stopped living for myself.
29:36But now I'm ready to start a new chapter, and I'm ready to celebrate my life as the colorful, spunky
29:42girl that I am.
29:42And I'm gonna live, live, live.
29:47Annie looks like me, and she is so freaking cute. She is definitely go-go West.
29:59Marcia is a single mom, as busy as can be.
30:03But now she's the wild child, and ready to set herself free.
30:07Ladies and gentlemen, Lonnie Fellini.
30:18Before coming to Drag U, I didn't know what to expect.
30:22But after completing, I got my attitude in check.
30:25With Chanel by my side, I could finally put my past behind.
30:29RuPaul said, I put myself last.
30:33But after Drag U, I'm a real badass.
30:37Marcia is looking fabulous and beautiful, and loving every inch of herself.
30:42I am so the proud professor right now.
30:49Drag U, it's now begins your oral examination.
30:53The priest classic, the guys at the construction site.
30:57What do you think they'd be saying?
30:58They probably want a piece.
31:03But they cannot.
31:09Let's turn to our falcatee.
31:12I'm in shock.
31:14Because you stole my look!
31:18I think you are the sexiest construction worker I have ever seen.
31:23And I think they should make you your own sparkly jumpsuit for the construction site.
31:29Thank you, judges.
31:30Go, go west.
31:31So what's your favorite part of your outfit?
31:34Balls.
31:36I like balls.
31:42What do you think Ray would say about your transformation?
31:46Ray, I know you're looking down at me.
31:48I think he's smiling and he's proud of me.
31:51And he's saying, that's my girl.
31:54That's the girl I've met and fell in love with.
31:56That's right.
31:57That's right.
31:58I'm back.
32:03Alec, what do you think of go, go west?
32:05I love it.
32:07I love your legs.
32:09Look at those legs.
32:10You walked with so much confidence.
32:12Girl, you hit those poses.
32:14I was taking notes.
32:15Like, okay, there's a pose I gotta remember.
32:17I know your man is looking down on you right now and just smiling away.
32:22Mwah!
32:22Beautiful.
32:24Thank you, falsity.
32:26Lonnie Fellini.
32:27How do you feel?
32:28Um, I feel slender and sleek and bursting with color.
32:34You look like the present we all want to open on Christmas Eve, am I right?
32:38Yes, yes.
32:39Now, who's here tonight?
32:41My three redhead children, Eris, Armani, and Atlantis.
32:45I love you and I'm unlocking my inner diva.
32:50So there's gonna be some things changing around the house.
32:55Girl, you look so hot you could skip online dating and go straight to your own escort service.
33:00I think you are an inspiration to mothers everywhere.
33:04And girl, when you turned around that body was like pow!
33:07Thank you, Lonnie Fellini.
33:09Now, ladies, it's time for your final Drexamination.
33:14Whoever kills it in the group performance could finish at the top of her class.
33:18So don't lump it up.
33:21Drag U, are you ready for me?
33:25It's a miracle.
33:28Drag U!
33:30Falcatee family friends.
33:32As president of Drag U, it is my honor to present the Draguating class.
33:38Ladies, let them have it!
33:47It's a miracle.
33:48Hello, my car.
33:54Hello, my girl.
33:57Cool, my darling.
33:57I know who you are.
34:00So we'll come above you, and let it down.
34:03I know where you're coming from.
34:06Call me.
34:07I'm alive, call me, call me any, any time
34:12Call me, I'll arrive, you can find me any day or night
34:18Call me
34:21Cover me with kisses, baby
34:25Cover me with love, love
34:28Roll me in designer sheets, I'll never get enough
34:34Emotions come, I don't know why
34:37Circle of love, I'll drive me back
34:42Call me, I'm alive, call me, call me, any, any time
34:48Call me, I'll arrive, you can find me
34:53We can jump, boy, call me
34:59Thank you, ladies.
35:01Now please wait backstage while the Falcati decides which one of you will draguate with top honors
35:09All right, Falcati, based on DPA, what did you think of Caprice Classic? Let's start with Lady Bunny
35:16I thought Caprice was the most changed
35:17She was the mousiest when she came in and she was always into it and it paid off
35:23Yeah
35:23You can't beat that transformation with a stick
35:25I mean, she looked younger in drag
35:29I think she's a revelation, she just seems confident and beautiful and feminine and sexy
35:35All right, Falcati, let's move on to Gogo West
35:37I had no idea that she was going to be such a dazzling natural performer
35:41I think in terms of a physical transformation, she didn't have as far to go
35:46But she still owned it in just a really magical, wonderful way
35:49It was really about her spiritual transformation
35:51And that was incredible to me
35:53What did you think of Lonnie Fellini?
35:56Lonnie missed quite a few words in her performance
35:59But the transformation was magical
36:01The dress suited her to a T
36:03I wished that she had more confidence
36:06That was really the time for her to let loose
36:08And I felt that she was still holding back a little bit
36:10Well, it looks like this is going to be a tough one
36:13Really tough
36:13They've all come so far
36:15It's time for a decision
36:16I leave it in your capable hands
36:20Draguets, please report to the main stage
36:23All Draguets, to the main stage
36:29The Falcati has compiled your final grades
36:32And we have a winner
36:33May I have the envelope, please?
36:39The top Draguet of RuPaul's Drag U is
36:47Caprice Classic
36:48Thank you, Draguet, I just won
36:54I feel fabulous, I feel feminine
37:03And I feel thankful
37:04This has been a great experience
37:05And really, really a transforming one
37:08I am positive I will never be the same
37:10For the best
37:13She went from my construction
37:15Rumpy-dressed sister
37:16To like, holy crap
37:18Look at, she's hot
37:18It was amazing
