00:01Good morning, professors.
00:03Good morning, Rue.
00:05Now a new class is arriving, ready to change their lives through the miracle of drag.
00:11This week we've got a 911 drag emergency.
00:15Three nurses who need our help stat.
00:18That means I'm going to need the help of three of you professors.
00:22Professor Jujubee, Dr. Chanel, Mariah, PhD.
00:27I'm counting on you to give these nurses a shot in the arm.
00:30Let's take a look.
00:33My name is Linnell.
00:35I have five wonderful children and one grandbaby.
00:37I did modeling when I was younger, felt wonderful.
00:40Went to the police academy, did well.
00:42The last ten years have been really hard.
00:44I got diagnosed with cancer.
00:47Life has strained me completely and I'm hoping that Drag U can replenish that like a flower and bring me
00:53out.
00:57My name is Hope.
00:59I'm divorced with three children.
01:00I never get to put myself first because I went from my strict parents to my ex-husbands.
01:07Then my children, what they needed and now the patients.
01:10I feel like I'm not living my life to the fullest potential.
01:17My name is Kim and I have two teenage children.
01:20I hope that at Drag U I can learn to have fun again.
01:24In 2007, my best friend was killed in a car accident and I kind of gave up.
01:32Touch the Drag U!
01:39Nice.
01:41Welcome to RuPaul's Drag U.
01:44Look what we have here.
01:46Naughty, naughty nurses.
01:48While each of you has the strength to take care of everyone else, you've neglected the most important person in
01:55the world.
01:56You.
01:57Now, RuPaul's Drag U, just like the real world, is a competition.
02:01You'll be evaluated on your DPA, your drag point average.
02:06D is for drag transformation.
02:08P is for performance.
02:10And A is your attitude adjustment.
02:12Now, you have 48 hours to tell your draguation.
02:15And in the end, only one of you will draguate with top honors and walk away with a fabulous Drag
02:21U scholarship.
02:22Julissa, tell us what you'll win.
02:25Well, Ru, our top Drag U will receive exquisite jewelry from Bijou Tresor.
02:30Hi.
02:31A luxury vacation for two from Al and Chuck Dot Travel.
02:34And that's not all.
02:36The top Drag U will also receive a cash prize of $3,166.55.
02:43Oh, wow.
02:45Courtesy of Krylon Cosmetics.
02:47Are you ready to do whatever it takes to become the baddest bitch in school?
02:52Uh.
02:52First stop, the Drag Lab.
02:55Walk this way.
02:58Oh, damn.
02:59No, really.
03:00Walk this way.
03:04Door.
03:05Let's go.
03:06Down the road.
03:11This is the Drag Lab.
03:14The ICU for your inner diva.
03:17With more wigs, dresses, sequins, and Dolly Parton's tour bus.
03:22Looking at the jewelries and the pumps and the hair dicks, I was just like, oh, my God.
03:27I have died and went to Barbie heaven.
03:29And the most important tool for your drag transformation is your own personal drag professor.
03:36Linnell, you are with Jujubee.
03:39Jujubee.
03:41As soon as I see Linnell, I notice those eyes.
03:45Beautiful crystal blue eyes.
03:46Hope.
03:47You are with Chanel.
03:49What's up, gorgeous?
03:49I'm excited.
03:51Oh, my God.
03:52She is so cute and so tiny.
03:54I got to make her about ten and a half feet taller than what she is already.
03:58And Kim.
03:59You are with Mariah.
04:01She doesn't seem to want to smile.
04:03But hopefully we can turn that energy around and we're going to make some magic.
04:09Professors, time to take your students through their entrance exams.
04:17What would people be surprised to know about you?
04:20I did a photo shoot for Hustler.
04:23Really?
04:23This lady has shown her in a national magazine.
04:28Not just anybody could be a Hustler girl.
04:31I tried out.
04:32Really?
04:33It didn't work.
04:35Who would you say would be your favorite celebrity?
04:38Jessica Rabbit.
04:39Really?
04:40Why?
04:40Because she was the only PG character that was sexy that I was able to watch.
04:46Describe your childhood in one word.
04:49Prison.
04:51Prison.
04:53Really?
04:54Mm-hmm.
04:54My parents took the church really extreme.
04:56Wasn't allowed to do what you want.
04:58Say how you want.
04:59Be who you want.
05:00I was really quite saddened.
05:02Childhood should be your warmest memories.
05:04Not those of feeling like you're a caged up animal.
05:08What would you say would be your ideal date?
05:11I think at this point, just somebody who actually wants to be with me.
05:14Somebody's really going to care about your needs.
05:16Yeah.
05:17We're going to make sure that you start to care about your needs first.
05:20After sizing came up, it's just a sad sausage casing.
05:24But after I'm done, she's going to be a filet mignon.
05:27What are you most afraid of?
05:31Cancer, because I had cancer.
05:33And I'm going for testing this week, so.
05:39It's just emotional.
05:41Yeah.
05:43I was diagnosed with cervical and overvarying cancer.
05:48And then about two years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
05:54But you know what?
05:55Being vulnerable is being human.
05:56And it's allowing yourself to have that emotion.
05:59It's allowing people inside your world to feel like this.
06:01That's not me.
06:02I have never been able to do that, so it's very hard.
06:04Although Linnell has gone through so much in her life, her spirit is such a fierce animal.
06:10I want her to see that.
06:12Time's up, pencils down.
06:14Meet me at the Dragulator.
06:15Ladies, this is the Dragulator.
06:18It will determine your drag name and give you a glimpse at your diva potential.
06:24Linnell, let's start with you.
06:34Commence Dragulation.
06:37Dragulation complete.
06:40Angel Esprit.
06:43Do you see yourself in there?
06:45No.
06:46No.
06:47Girl, are you for real?
06:50Jujubee, can you turn her into this?
06:52Most definitely.
06:53All right.
06:54Lots of work.
06:55I'm like, ooh.
06:56Can Jujubee make me look like Angel's Free?
06:59I don't think she can do it.
07:01All right, Hope, it is your turn.
07:09Commence Dragulation.
07:12Dragulation complete.
07:15Tawny Fox.
07:17Yes.
07:18Wow.
07:19That is by Jessica Ravish.
07:21Yes.
07:22That is sickening.
07:23I think we're going to need a doctor.
07:24Stats.
07:25Yes.
07:26Last but not least, Kim.
07:33Commence Dragulation.
07:37Dragulation complete.
07:40Nikki Vixen.
07:42Wow.
07:43Kim, what do you think?
07:45It's interesting.
07:46Interesting?
07:47You don't sound too exciting.
07:50When I see the picture up there, um...
07:53Now, Mariah, can you beat that mug out of her?
07:55Absolutely.
07:56I think I might be able to beat that bitch to pull it off.
07:58Oh, okay.
07:59The clothes and the tassels and the hair.
08:02I am just overwhelmed.
08:03I don't see myself up there.
08:07Coming up...
08:08What the f*** did you just call me?
08:10Ha ha ha ha!
08:11I can't let them see me sick or weak.
08:14Linnell talking about her cancer and her struggle brings up dark memories for me.
08:19And later...
08:20Look at Chanel's outfit.
08:22I'm Chanel.
08:23And I wear costumes.
08:25Ha ha ha ha!
08:27Thank you, you're ready for me.
08:30Alright, ladies.
08:32It's time for your first class.
08:34You're about to get a lady lesson.
08:37Ha ha ha!
08:39Good morning, class.
08:41Good morning, Lady Bunny.
08:43Now, Bunny, these nurses' sex appeal need some serious CPR.
08:48Well, it all starts with the knickers.
08:51What the f*** did you just call me?
08:53Ha ha ha!
08:56Lady Bunny is here to help.
08:58So learn it, and learn it well.
09:01For today's lady lesson, let's consult the Drag U Handbook.
09:07Even if you're stuck wearing a uniform, changing your undergarments can actually change your state of mind.
09:12That's why I change mine religiously once a month.
09:14Ha ha ha!
09:16Ha ha ha!
09:16A thong can make you feel risqué.
09:19A wild print can bring out your animal size.
09:23Red hot lace makes you feel more sensuous.
09:26Time for show and tell.
09:28Here's something I never thought I'd say.
09:31Ladies, show me your panties!
09:35Showing everything in my...
09:36Oh, no.
09:37Ha ha ha!
09:37Let's start with Lanelle.
09:40What do you wear under your scrubs?
09:42Oh, is that from the Eleanor Roosevelt collection?
09:46Ha ha ha!
09:46Okay, Kim, show me your panties.
09:49Comfortable, yes, but sexy, no.
09:51Hope, show me your panties.
09:55Ah!
09:56Pulling out those big underwears were so embarrassing.
10:00Professors!
10:01I need you to give these girls an underscrubbed sexy makeover!
10:04Emergency!
10:07Ooh!
10:09This is like 1-900 call me a slut.
10:12Hold that for me, darling.
10:13Hold on to that.
10:15Look at these panties.
10:16Everybody loves a sparkly.
10:19All right, ladies.
10:20Let's see what's going on underneath those uniforms.
10:23All right, Kim, let her rip!
10:25Ooh!
10:27I see you've got on your corset from corsetconnection.com.
10:31Now, do you think you could pull that off at work?
10:33I don't think so.
10:35I give people some heart attacks.
10:37Kim can turn the night shift into a passionate pajama party for one.
10:41Or she can turn that night shift into a night shaft.
10:43Oh, dear!
10:45Next up, Lanelle.
10:47Let her rip!
10:49Woo!
10:51Lanelle and that tearaway work!
10:55How does this make you feel, Lanelle?
10:57Hot.
10:58Oh, I'm ready.
10:59What are you ready for is the question.
11:01Cool!
11:02Next up, Hope.
11:04You better go ahead and saunter girl.
11:06That's right.
11:06Well, whatever you're wearing, it's already affecting your walk,
11:09because you just sashay-shantayed right up there.
11:11All right, Hope, let her rip!
11:14Ow!
11:15She looked like a big ol' stick of bubble mint gum.
11:18Nothing's as sexy like a sensible shoe.
11:22No, she didn't.
11:24And that's today's lady lesson.
11:32You don't seem too enthused.
11:34Are you happy with the Dracula image?
11:36I'm fine.
11:37Okay, good.
11:39I don't express myself, I guess, I don't know.
11:41Okay, well, we're gonna work on that, because unless you express yourself, nobody will know how you're feeling, right?
11:46I do not know where this girl's head is.
11:48It really seems like you're just kind of not here.
11:52No, I'm just, I'm having a really hard time, like, focusing on myself.
11:55Well, guess what?
11:57That's why we're here.
11:58I forget about myself most of the time.
12:00My focus are my kids and school and work.
12:04You can't help anybody unless you take care of you first.
12:07It's okay to have attention on you.
12:09You're a beautiful woman.
12:11You deserve to feel special.
12:13Nice.
12:14Okay.
12:14Okay.
12:15I need you 100%.
12:16Yes.
12:17Okay.
12:18I hope she's ready to embrace all the attention she's gonna get, because that is what drag queens do.
12:24And how would you feel about wearing something that was kind of form-fitted like this?
12:28Ready to do it?
12:28I'm ready to do it.
12:29Do you hear your parents or your family members in your head going,
12:33don't wear that, you look like, you know, a hooker, you look trashy in that?
12:37Yes.
12:38Because I was shapely at a young age, you would hear people saying stuff.
12:45And I was like, the farthest from that, I was so tomboyish.
12:49I'm a man standing here at 30 years old wearing women's clothing.
12:53Regardless of what anybody would say, that's their opinion.
12:56And opinions are like ass .
12:58Everybody has one.
13:00Everybody has one.
13:00Listening to Chanel, it was like an affirmation for me.
13:03I am ready to put the past in the past and rock Tony Foxx.
13:09Have you worn wigs before?
13:10No, not wigs.
13:12I've done extensions and weaves a lot.
13:15You do this because?
13:17Because of, you know, me having cancer and everything.
13:20Really?
13:21Really?
13:21How does your family feel about the whole situation?
13:24I don't want my kids to know it's not their burden to carry with them.
13:27But baby, don't you think you deserve support?
13:32You should believe that.
13:35I don't want anyone to worry.
13:37Because I'm supposed to be strong and take care of everything so I can't let them see me sick or
13:42weak or anything.
13:43It's gonna stop.
13:47It's gonna make me cry.
13:49I think Linnell should tell her family.
13:51Linnell talking about her cancer and her struggle brings up really dark memories for me.
13:58Coming up.
13:59When my father was sick, I was always the strong one in my family.
14:03I want to hear you loud.
14:05Let it out.
14:09Here's one drag queen beauty secret that has multiple uses.
14:12A cell tip marker.
14:14Turn a zit into a beauty mark.
14:16Leave important info in a bathroom stall.
14:20Create the gap of Madonna.
14:22In your teeth, that is.
14:23And of course, sign autographs.
14:26Love always, Raven.
14:29Check it out, you're ready for me.
14:34I don't usually talk about my situation with my father passing away, but I understand Linnell.
14:41I was always the strong one in my family because I was the oldest and after my dad passed away,
14:47I realized that you can't do it all.
14:49You need help, you know?
14:51When my father was sick, all I needed was family support.
14:54And I think that that would make everything so much better for Linnell.
14:57It's okay to get help.
14:59I don't want anyone to worry.
15:00I don't want my kids to remember me being sick or being weak.
15:04I want them to remember mom was strong, you know?
15:07But you know, mommy could be strong enough to need the help.
15:10Yeah.
15:11I learned that she's a lot like me.
15:13We have a lot in common, a lot of the same experiences.
15:17It's making me feel so much better, I think.
15:20Oh, thank God I wore a waterproof eyeliner today.
15:27It's been a while, huh?
15:28Yeah.
15:28Feel all right?
15:30Mm-hmm.
15:30A little crazy?
15:31A little.
15:32I never experienced the playing in your mommy's closet thing, so that's how I felt.
15:37Taking you to go see Usher.
15:40That's actually real cute.
15:41I could get my Beyonce on with it.
15:43Okay.
15:43It gave me an experience that I never had.
15:46I've never stared in the mirror this long.
15:47I really like it.
15:50So, who do you go out with?
15:52I don't really.
15:54Any girlfriends you like to stomp the yard with?
16:26Um, I do.
16:26And what they wanted from me is not to walk around sad.
16:28And you know that, right?
16:31She's somewhere in here.
16:32I know she is.
16:33She is.
16:34But you're not doing her any justice by hurting like this.
16:38Okay?
16:38Having Mariah with me, I kind of realized that it's time to pick yourself up and to start
16:44caring.
16:45I need to get on with myself.
16:49Well, hello, Ladykins.
16:51Hi.
16:52Hi, Drew.
16:52I've come to check on your wigs and gowns and things of that nature.
16:56So, let's start with Nikki Vixen.
16:58Girl, you are feeling that hair, literally.
17:01Are you planning on being a redhead on the runway?
17:04I like the red hair, but I like the darker hair.
17:08So, Mariah, what are you thinking?
17:09I wanted to stick with the Oriental theme.
17:12I wanted to do like a red Chinese bob, kind of like Jujubee, but polished.
17:19I'm Laotian.
17:20I'm not Oriental.
17:22Okay?
17:23Miss Mariah, you need a map.
17:26Faith, hope, and charity.
17:28Now, we let you loose in the drag lap.
17:30What caught your eye?
17:32This wig right here.
17:33Really?
17:34What caught your eye about this one?
17:35I just like the color up against my skin.
17:38But, Hope, it seems very safe.
17:40I want Tawny Fox to be the complete opposite of playing it safe.
17:44But we'll get it.
17:45I think we'll get it.
17:46I'm going to hold you to those words.
17:48Okay.
17:49All right, Linnell.
17:51When's the last time you wore a pair of high heels?
17:52It's been quite some time, maybe about three years now.
17:55Why is that?
17:55I don't understand that.
17:56It's not practical for my lifestyle at this moment.
18:00That is a lie.
18:02Yeah.
18:02That's what I said.
18:04Yeah.
18:04Anything you worried about in the process?
18:07Nothing.
18:07I'm in great hands.
18:09Well, I cannot wait to see you start yourself on the runway.
18:11Great.
18:12Now it's time to step away from your outfits, put on your Iron Fist shoes, and meet me at
18:19dance class.
18:21Where are my girls at?
18:23Make your heels clap.
18:27It's time for a dance lesson, girl.
18:29Go get your boogie on.
18:32Class, I'd like you to meet our Dean of Dance and my good friend, Candace Kane.
18:37Hi, guys.
18:38Hi, guys.
18:39She's here to prepare you for your final drag examination.
18:43A full-on lip sync performance.
18:45Oh, no.
18:46In front of a live audience, including your family and friends.
18:51Uh-oh.
18:52Here we go.
18:53Like, I don't want to embarrass myself.
18:55Now, Candace.
18:56Yes.
18:56What song have you chosen to set these naughty nurses free?
19:01No Scrubs by TLC.
19:05The song, No Scrubs, I think is perfect for all of us.
19:08It's great.
19:10Candace will also be judging your final performance, so you better step it up.
19:16Candace, let them have it.
19:19Nurses have stressful jobs, and I think this is the perfect environment for them to let loose
19:25and just have fun.
19:26I want you to just go, ah, roll up.
19:32And I want to hear you loud.
19:34Let it out.
19:39Kim, you can get louder than that.
19:41Come on.
19:45Girl, scream.
19:47Let loose.
19:48Yell.
19:52There you go.
19:54I'm going to start by teaching you the signature move.
19:57It's called the flat line.
19:59Oh, that's funny.
20:00So you have your chargers.
20:03You're going to go to your right first.
20:05And clear.
20:07And clear.
20:08You stop, and you pump.
20:11Like that.
20:12Hope.
20:12Let loose.
20:13No.
20:14It's Tony Fox.
20:16Oh.
20:16Oh.
20:18Yes.
20:19Diva.
20:20That is the attitude we need to have up on the stage right now.
20:23I think we need to have the queens come up here.
20:25Yes.
20:26Yes.
20:26The queens are here.
20:28To show these students how it's done.
20:30Surgical scrub.
20:31Surgical scrub.
20:32Scrub.
20:33And scrub.
20:35Pull the cord.
20:36Pull the cord.
20:37And clear.
20:38And start the heart.
20:39And walk.
20:41Very good.
20:42I feel like it's going to be really difficult for me to learn all the dance moves and the lyrics.
20:46At least I'm doing better than I can.
20:49Girls, keep working on it.
20:51I will see you at Draguation.
20:53Class dismissed.
20:56Mariah.
20:57Chanel.
20:58You old bitches better watch out.
21:00I'm taking this one.
21:04Coming up.
21:05Mwah.
21:06Mwah.
21:06Chanel's outfit.
21:08I'm Chanel.
21:09And I wear a costume.
21:11I'm Chanel and I'm classy.
21:15And now, a word from the president of Drag U, RuPaul.
21:22Armpit.
21:25This has been a word from President RuPaul.
21:35I can't believe it's already Draguation day.
21:38I'm not even close to being ready.
21:40I'm doing okay.
21:41Nervous about my hair though.
21:43There's a lot to do.
21:44It's a red world.
21:47Wow.
21:49Hey guys.
21:50What's up?
21:52Mwah.
21:52Mwah.
21:53I am going to give Hope just a few pointers so that she does stand out on the runway tonight.
21:57So you get to the end of that runway.
21:59Make love to the judges.
22:01You want to show them, ooh, look how fabulous my outfit is.
22:04Ooh, look how sickening my hips is.
22:06A pow.
22:08Or maybe you want to go, uh.
22:09Yes.
22:10Okay.
22:10Uh, uh, uh.
22:11This is the end of the runway.
22:13Stop.
22:14Oh, yes.
22:19Hey Linnell, come and sit down.
22:21Hi.
22:21I'm so glad we got to have a little time.
22:24How are you feeling?
22:25Nervous.
22:26Oh my goodness.
22:26I'm nervous.
22:26Why are you nervous?
22:30Um, nervous to expose myself.
22:32No.
22:32The biggest fear would be once you're exposed.
22:36People will know my weaknesses.
22:38The gift you can actually give to other people is to allow them to give to you.
22:44Okay.
22:46I need help.
22:48I need help.
22:49Can you say that?
22:50It's really hard for me to say that.
22:51I'm gonna hear you say it now.
22:52You're safe here.
22:54Um.
22:56I'm.
22:58Oh, sorry.
23:01Linnell.
23:03Yes.
23:05I need help.
23:07Right on, Mama.
23:08This is a major, major turning point.
23:11It's been very hard to hide my health problems and my weaknesses.
23:15And to be able to go tell my kids now, taking the weight off my shoulders.
23:21Let's go ahead and see you do one try.
23:24They are kind of coming out the end.
23:25I'll stick a little spirit gum or a little bit of duct tape in the bottom of it.
23:29Does it seem like somebody has a little too much time on their hands?
23:32Yeah.
23:33What is she doing here?
23:34I mean, hi, Jujubee.
23:35Hi.
23:36Hey, baby.
23:37I love how Kim is trying to throw me shade.
23:39Sweetie.
23:40We all know I can read.
23:42Don't make me start with you.
23:44Apparently, this is the shady group.
23:46I just came to say hi and good luck.
23:47We're the boogers.
23:49Hey, boogers.
23:50Whatever.
23:51Look at Miss Jujubee prancing around the work lab with her furniture sitting on her butt.
23:56Girl, please.
23:57Them couch cushions.
23:58Look over there.
23:59Look at Chanel's outfit.
24:02Well, I'm Chanel.
24:03And I wear costumes.
24:05I'm Chanel and I'm classy.
24:07Bitch, please.
24:08She did not say that.
24:10Every good drag queen knows to be nice.
24:16The last momentous occasion like this where you got to dress up and be celebrated was your wedding.
24:22Oh, yeah.
24:23Regrets?
24:24Oh, yes.
24:25Your parents raise you like this strict upbringing.
24:29But they really can't stop everyone and everything that's being introduced to you.
24:33You're not really prepared for it.
24:34Right.
24:35Especially that young.
24:36The tools.
24:36The tools to process the feelings.
24:38Right.
24:38When those situations come up, you can shift your thinking into Tawny Foxx.
24:44She is your protector.
24:45Because you have that in you.
24:46I can tell you are a strong woman.
24:48You don't need other people to define who you are.
24:52That's right.
24:53It was really great to have that one-on-one time with Rue.
24:56He gave me a lot of great advice and I walked away empowered.
25:02Maybe I shouldn't do the hat.
25:03Maybe I should just do really big hair.
25:06You can still have big hair with the hat.
25:08This is the thing that I feel about the hat.
25:10Okay.
25:10What's your name?
25:12Angel.
25:12Spree.
25:13This is your version of your halo.
25:16What do you think?
25:17I'm not sure.
25:19Well, girl.
25:21I love you.
25:22We don't have that much time.
25:23Okay.
25:23So we're going to have to make a decision.
25:25Okay.
25:25In order for Lanelle to drag you away with top honors, I need her to step up her gang.
25:30In your life, you've been sort of stalled.
25:33I'm specifically talking about your friend moving out of your life.
25:38That's a problem I have with talking to other people and letting other people into my life.
25:47Part two to that story is learning how to process those feelings.
25:50You're sort of stuck in this sort of feelings purgatory.
25:53Yes.
25:54It's like if you don't think about it, then it's like it never happened.
25:59Ah, but that's not true.
26:00The feelings and the results of those feelings are real.
26:04I can see that inability to go to the next level because you don't want to get your feelings hurt.
26:12Yeah.
26:13And kiddo, you're going to have to get your feelings hurt to walk through the fire.
26:16I want you to focus on celebrating life.
26:20Okay.
26:21I learned to live life, not just hide away and, you know, get out there and make something of myself.
26:34I feel like it's a whole new me.
26:36It's a breath of fresh air.
26:38It's wonderful.
26:40I am so excited to see my sister Lonelle all dressed up and to be able to have her daughter
26:44to surprise her.
26:45This is exactly what Lonelle needs to bring her spirit back and to know she still has it.
26:50I want to prove to my friends and family that I have what it takes to break through and be
26:56the woman that God really intended me to be.
27:00I'm always going to lose.
27:02I didn't enjoy it.
27:03I'm always going to win.
27:06There's so much to do before graduation.
27:09It's overwhelming.
27:10But I trust Mariah and I trust what she's going to do.
27:14I hope this experience helps Kim to get out and live her life.
27:17Because she does put everything else first.
27:21D-R-A-G-U.
27:25It's time to draguate, honey.
27:34Faculty, friends and family.
27:36Please welcome your Drag U professors, Jujube, Chanel and Mariah.
27:43And the president of Drag U, RuPaul.
27:49Welcome to RuPaul's Drag U.
27:51Here to evaluate our girls are the faculty, our dean of drag, the Lady Bunny is here.
27:58Our dean of dance, the stunning Candace Cain.
28:03And our visiting professor, the queen of Coochie Coochie, Charles.
28:09Coochie Coochie!
28:14During your time here at Drag U, our nightingales have nursed their inner divas.
28:20Let the draguation commence.
28:22Nurse Linnell busts her butt taking care of the world.
28:25But now, she's shaking her booty as a glamazon girl.
28:29Ladies and gentlemen, Angel Esprit!
28:32Yay!
28:41For all my life, I've been scared to show my weakness.
28:46At Drag U, I've been able to realize that it's okay to ask for help.
28:52I am now ready to accept love, and man, it's fabulous!
28:58Linnell looks stunning.
29:02Angel's here.
29:06Nurse Hope's look was hopeless and needing a lift.
29:09But now, she's transformed and working the hot shift.
29:14Ladies and gentlemen, Tawny Fox!
29:26I have spent a little bit too many years worried about what people thought about me and my body.
29:31I now know, after a little time with Chanel, that I can be powerful and sexy.
29:36And I've learned how to embrace what the good Lord has given me.
29:42Hope looks like a million bucks.
29:45I really don't think I could have done it better.
29:50Nurse Kim got worn down on a stressed out roar.
29:53But now, she's all glammed up and her diva has been resource.
29:58Ladies and gentlemen, Nikki Vixen!
30:09In the last few years, I've been mourning my past.
30:13But now, since I've been here at Drag U, it's made me excited for my future.
30:17And as Nikki Vixen, I am ready to live my life.
30:21It was Nikki Vixen all the way.
30:25In my book, that's when a baby.
30:30Drag U, it's now begins your oral examination.
30:35Angel Esprit, what's your favorite part of the outfit?
30:38The dress.
30:39Or the lack thereof.
30:41Kind of just accentuates my curves a little bit.
30:44Shows off the girls.
30:45It's all good.
30:47So, who's here to cheer you on?
30:50My fabulous sister and my daughter, which I didn't know was coming.
30:54I love you very much, honey.
30:55I love you very much.
30:58Falcati.
30:59Angel looks absolutely stunning.
31:02Like something out of My Fair Lady.
31:04My Fair Lady Gaga.
31:06You look like you own the show today.
31:10And you look like a rich bitch aristocrat.
31:15Tawny Fox.
31:16Now, what's your favorite part of the outfit?
31:19Do you really have the egg?
31:26Mommy, you look beautiful.
31:28Thank you very much.
31:29I love you, Mommy.
31:32Look at your gorgeous face.
31:34Your boyfriend might need to be hospitalized.
31:37You are a hot tamale, and your butt is in right now, and people pay a lot of money to
31:42have it.
31:43So, be proud. Congratulations.
31:47Nikki Vixen, you are red hot.
31:49What's the most important thing you'll be taking with you from your time here at Drag U?
31:53That I can just kind of start to live instead of just hiding.
32:00My friend Rose.
32:02She's been my friend.
32:06And I don't think I appreciate her and my mom as much as I should.
32:11I don't want...
32:13Now, I know that you lost your friend Tina.
32:15What would she think of Nikki Vixen?
32:17Oh, my God.
32:19She would have put this outfit together.
32:21This is me.
32:22The outside is finally matching the inside.
32:29Alright, let's go to our falcatee.
32:31Your hair is stunning, and your face looks gorgeous.
32:34There's a little bit of your professor, Mariah, in there.
32:37I would like a little bit higher heel, but we'll work our way up.
32:41Get out of the hospital, get out of your house, and entertain the whole world.
32:46You have personality, and you have life.
32:49You, I feel, have the problem sometimes letting go, and I can see you breaking through that shell right now,
32:56and it makes me happy to see you that way.
33:00Now, ladies, it's time for your final drag examination.
33:04Whoever kills it in the group performance could finish at the top of her class.
33:09So don't flunk it up.
33:12Drag U, you need it for me.
33:18Falcatee family and friends, as president of Drag U, it is my honor to present the draguating class.
33:26Ladies, let them have it.
33:28Ladies, let them have it.
33:33Scrum is a guy that thinks he's fine.
33:35It's also known as a bust-down.
33:38Always thinking about what he wants and just sits on his broke-ass soul.
33:42No, I don't want your number.
33:45No, I don't want to give you mine.
33:47No, I don't want to meet you nowhere.
33:50No, I don't want none of your time.
33:52No, I don't want no scrub.
33:54A scrub is a guy that came getting no love from me.
33:57Hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride.
34:00Trying to holler at me.
34:02Hey, car, and you're walking.
34:03Oh, yeah, son, I'm talking to you.
34:06If you live at home with your mama.
34:08Oh, yeah, son, I'm talking to you.
34:11Wanna give me no money?
34:13Oh, no, I don't want no one.
34:18It's my love.
34:19No, I don't want no scrub.
34:23A scrub is a guy that came getting no love from me.
34:26Hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride.
34:29Trying to holler at me.
34:34Thank you, ladies.
34:36Please wait backstage while the falcony decides which one of you will drag your way with top honors.
34:43Based on DPA, what did you think of Angel Esprit?
34:48Let's start with Lady Bunny.
34:49Before she seemed very mousy.
34:51Here she seemed very proud.
34:53This was her diva moment.
34:55Magnificent.
34:56A big applause for this girl because she really was having the time of her life and she bawled again.
35:01I'm a great fan of her.
35:03All right.
35:03What did you think of Tawny Fox?
35:06Tawny killed it in the performance.
35:07She was on every single move and knew every word in the song.
35:11She has that natural kind of swagger that no scrubs needs to have and she looked gorgeous doing it.
35:17She is a natural performer and she enjoys every second and she's proud of her body.
35:25Yes.
35:26Now, what did you think of Nikki Vixen?
35:29Nikki didn't get all of the moves right.
35:32I could see her struggling with some of the choreography.
35:35Even though she was not getting all the movement correctly, you could tell that she was having a blast up
35:41there.
35:41I don't agree with Lady Bunny that said the dance sucks.
35:44What about what is wrong when she was doing this?
35:47Huh?
35:47She stole your move.
35:48No way.
35:49She stole my move but that's why I like her so much.
35:52I think that she should be in show business.
35:56Charo, you think everybody should be in show business.
35:58Not everybody.
35:59Please don't misconstrue me.
36:00Okay?
36:03All right, Falcone, you have your work cut out for you.
36:06Yes.
36:07I'm leaving the decision in your capable hands.
36:11All Draguets report to the main stage.
36:14All Draguets to the main stage.
36:19The Falcone Tea has compiled your final grades and we have a winner.
36:24May I have the envelope, please?
36:30The top Draguet of RuPaul's Drag U is...
36:38Angel Esprit.
36:44I just Draguated with top honors.
36:47Thank you so much.
36:49You'll never know how much this meant to me.
36:57With everything going on in my life, this experience has given me time to sit back and not worry about
37:03anything.
37:04And now I know that I don't have to hide everything, that it's okay to say, I need help.
37:10Angel Esprit is here to stay.
