00:01Good morning, professors.
00:03Good morning, Rue.
00:05A new class is arriving, ready to change their lives to the miracle of drag.
00:10Today we have nerdy ladies who need to get out of their heads and into their body-oddy-oddies.
00:16I'm going to need the help of three of you professors to turn these lovable geeks into sexy freaks
00:23and sass up their everyday drags.
00:26Let's take a look.
00:28I'm Christy and I'm a theater geek.
00:31I know every single musical and show that's out there.
00:33My dream is to one day be on Broadway.
00:35I came to Drag U to get the confidence to be on stage again and feel like a star.
00:40My name is Dylan and I'm a total nerd for zombie movies.
00:43I dropped out of college and was consequently kicked out of my mother's house.
00:47I'm enrolling in Drag U because I feel like my life is a failure and I need a drag queen
00:52to kick my ass.
00:55I'm Shantae and I am a comic book nerd.
00:59I used to be a hot mama, but since gaining 100 pounds, I don't feel like I'm allowed to be
01:04sexy.
01:04So I would like for Drag U to help me to accept the size that I'm in and embrace my
01:10lady lumps.
01:16Welcome to RuPaul's Drag U.
01:19Now, some meanies may call you nerds, but what I see are three beautiful women who have unbridled passion for
01:28the things they love.
01:30Now, RuPaul's Drag U, like the real world, is a competition.
01:34You'll be evaluated on your DPA, your drag point average.
01:39D is for drag transformation.
01:41P is for performance.
01:43A is for your attitude adjustment.
01:46Now, you have 48 hours until your draguation.
01:48And in the end, only one of you will draguate with top honors and walk away with a fabulous Drag
01:55U scholarship.
01:56Uh, Jalissa, I said, Jalissa, tell us what she will win.
02:02Our top Drag U will receive a year's supply of custom makeup by Cinema Secrets Professional Cosmetics
02:07and a $1,000 gift card for fashions from overstock.com.
02:12And that's not all.
02:13The top Drag U will also receive $3,166.54!
02:20All right!
02:21Yeah!
02:22Now, are you ready to do whatever it takes to become the baddest bitch in school?
02:27Yes!
02:27All right, can I get a ru-ha?
02:29Ru-ha!
02:30All right!
02:31First stop, the Drag Lab.
02:33Walk this way.
02:37No, really, walk this way.
02:41Woo!
02:42Door.
02:46This is the Drag Lab.
02:49Here you'll find everything you'll need for your diva transformation.
02:53With so many fine gowns and royal jewels, it makes Kate Middleton look like she married into a poor white
03:01trash family.
03:03The Drag Lab looks like Cirque du Soleil threw up on Lady Gaga's house.
03:08But the most important factor is your own personal drag professor.
03:16Door.
03:21Wow!
03:23Christy, you're with Pandora Box.
03:26Hi.
03:26I am up for this challenge.
03:29Dylan, you're with Delta Work.
03:31Dylan is the prettiest of all the girls, and I think that Ru knows that birds of a feather flock
03:36together.
03:37That means, Shantae, you're with Jujubee.
03:40It's going to take some work.
03:42But it's going to happen.
03:44Now, professors, time to take your students through drag orientation.
03:48Ladies, this is the beginning of the rest of your life.
04:01If you were offered a role on Broadway, but had to perform naked, would you do it?
04:10Am I backlit?
04:12No, you'll have Oprah lighting.
04:14Then I'll do it.
04:16Now, Christy, look at this picture here.
04:19Yeah, that's me.
04:20Now, what do you think of when you look at your sleepwear?
04:23When I'm wearing it, it is very comfortable.
04:25Are you single?
04:26Yes.
04:27This is why.
04:28Shut up.
04:30I say that with love.
04:31I feel the love.
04:33Well, you won't in this.
04:35Why did you gain weight?
04:36I gained weight because I was really, really depressed.
04:39I haven't been on a date in almost 10 years.
04:42Oh, ****.
04:43Yeah, if I see a guy that I think that I'm attracted to or something like that,
04:47I think that he's probably looking at my weight before he looks at anything else.
04:50Girl, he's not just looking at your weight, Ms.
04:54Well, the triple Ds, you know, they help.
04:57But let's talk about this.
04:59How are you going to get a date looking like this?
05:01That was supposed to be for sleeping only.
05:05Jujubee has her work cut out for her in order to get me from my nerd persona to a diva.
05:12What do you think you're most ashamed of?
05:14I don't like the way I look, you know?
05:16I just, I mean, I like some things like my tattoo, obviously, because I chose to get that.
05:20So this distracts people from me.
05:23The hardest thing about transforming Dylan is going to be getting her confident with her body.
05:27Let's talk about this for a second.
05:28Oh, God.
05:29No, let's not.
05:31Why?
05:31This is you.
05:33Ew.
05:33Is this what you sleep in?
05:35Yeah.
05:36Honey, you have, give me a hug.
05:38You have to do better than that.
05:40You deserve better than that, don't you think?
05:42I don't know.
05:43I'm not, I don't really feel like I deserve much anything.
05:46Why?
05:46I'm a failure.
05:47Why would you be a failure?
05:48Why do you think that?
05:49My mom always drilled into me that if you don't go to college, you're a failure.
05:52And I dropped out of college because I was just, I was so unhappy there.
05:56So, yeah, I am, I'm a failure right now.
05:59I haven't spoken to my mom since that fight.
06:01It's been about two years.
06:02You haven't talked to her at all?
06:03No.
06:04If I saw my mom, I'd want to tell her that I'm sorry and that I really do love her,
06:11even
06:12though she hurt me.
06:16But I just want my mommy back.
06:24Ladies, before you can work it as a drag queen, you've got to get over your fear of dressing
06:30up.
06:31Using all the colors in the crayon box, I want you to go wild.
06:36Put together a quick drag look and show me what you got.
06:40You have five minutes.
06:41Ready, set, play.
06:45Okay, babe, let's get you a new Attitude wig.
06:47Ooh, red.
06:47There's beautiful wigs.
06:49She picks the worst.
06:50I don't really like stuff that shows off my back, though, because I have these indents
06:53right here.
06:53Okay.
06:54I just love dress empire.
06:55Dress empire is the best.
06:56Oh, God, it makes me tingly all over.
07:00Oh, my God, it's see-through.
07:01I'll turn my head.
07:02I don't want to look at your lady bits.
07:03I can see what you're talking about with this little bump right here.
07:06And what's going to fix it is a corset, and corsetconnection.com has some great ones.
07:10I don't fix this.
07:10It just doesn't ever feel good to put on a dress that should be your size, yet you
07:15cannot get over your hips.
07:16Oh, Jujubee, your hoof won't fit in that.
07:18Juju better watch out, because I'm taking top honors this time.
07:22Bitch, don't come for me.
07:23Don't come for me.
07:24Ladies, meet me at the Dragulator.
07:28Christy, let's start with you.
07:30Wow, your quick drag is kind of cute.
07:32I like that.
07:33Oh, good.
07:34And what made you decide to wear this dress?
07:36Um, it fit.
07:37Uh-huh.
07:38Up next, Shantae.
07:41Tell me about the little jacket.
07:43Well, the jacket needed to happen because of the damage that I did to my shoulders up
07:47here with the wrong bras.
07:48Oh, so that's sort of a no-no area for you?
07:51Yes, it's very much a no-no area.
07:53All right.
07:53And last but not least, Dylan.
07:56I love that sparkly dress.
07:57Yeah, that's actually what I was going for, because normally I wear mostly black.
08:01Yeah.
08:02And so at DragU, I figure I need to step out of my comfort zone.
08:05I love that little dress.
08:06That's really cute.
08:07All right.
08:07Now, the Dragulator is a highly sophisticated piece of technology.
08:11I input your personal data, and the Dragulator determines your drag name and gives you a glimpse
08:18at the diva you'll unleash and take home.
08:23Christy, let's start with you.
08:29Coming up...
08:30Meow.
08:31What?
08:33Okay.
08:36And later...
08:37Oh, my God.
08:39Dylan is falling apart.
08:41I've got to get back there.
08:42I've got to help her pull it together.
08:43Drag it on your head in for me.
08:47It's a miracle.
08:49Drag you...
08:54All right, Christy, let's start with you.
08:57All right, here we go.
08:59Commence Dragulation.
09:03Dragulation complete.
09:07Felicity Payne.
09:08Oh, my God.
09:14Christy, what do you think?
09:15Wow.
09:16I think that I do see a little bit of Christy in Felicity Payne.
09:20What Broadway star does this remind you of?
09:23Dame Edna.
09:25I love how it gives you leg, but it's still a gown.
09:29It's the gown to wear when you're not wearing a gown.
09:32Yes.
09:33All right, Dylan, it's your turn.
09:35Oh, dear.
09:37Dragulation complete.
09:40Ember alert.
09:42What?
09:43What the...
09:44Holy moly.
09:45Holy crap.
09:47Oh, my God.
09:49What is that?
09:50Look at that face.
09:51Look at that outfit.
09:53What do you think?
09:54Damn.
09:56Now, I love how this slit, still showing that leg and elongates your body.
10:01Look at that.
10:02Now, keep this in mind when you go home.
10:04The slit looks like it's going a little high for my liking.
10:10Yeah.
10:10Oh, God, no.
10:13Why you got to do this to me?
10:15And last but not least, Shantae.
10:18Yes.
10:19Now, let's see what the Dragulator has in store.
10:25Dolores Day.
10:27Wow.
10:28Meow.
10:29That doesn't look like me.
10:31What do you think, Shantae?
10:32That is Japanimation realness.
10:34Yes, it is.
10:36She looks like she has confidence, you know?
10:38And do you not have confidence?
10:39Not really.
10:40Not this confidence.
10:41No.
10:41No, not that.
10:42I mean, she's serving up all kinds of, don't talk to me unless you can come with it, you
10:46know, like, she owns the night, you know?
10:48Shantae will become Dolores Day with a little work.
10:51All right, ladies, it's time to ditch your quick drag and get ready for your first lady
10:58lesson.
11:01Allow me to introduce our dean of drag, the Lady Bunny.
11:07Good morning, girls.
11:09Good morning, Lady Bunny.
11:12Oh, my God.
11:13Lady Bunny is amazing.
11:15And she a funny bitch.
11:17Bunny, these nerdy girls need our help.
11:19Their idea of an accessory is a fangirl t-shirt.
11:23Well, the best accessory any girl can have is a smile and go out with a much heavier friend.
11:29It's true.
11:30It works.
11:34Ladies, learn it and learn it well.
11:38For today's lesson, let's turn to the Drag U handbook.
11:45Look, it's fashion expert Ashton Michael.
11:48Hello, ladies.
11:49Hello, Bunny.
11:50Oh, my God.
11:51Ashton Michael, that is a curvy, curvy mustache ride.
11:56I'm here today to teach you how the right accessories for your body type can create instant
12:00sex appeal.
12:01So, Chrissy, today we're going to show you how to transform a basic black dress into something
12:05a little bit more accessorized.
12:06And to start with that, we're going to go with your belts.
12:08This belt works especially well for your body type.
12:10You have a shorter torso, and putting this belt to break up under the bust is going to
12:13bring attention to all the right areas, focusing it all on your chest and therefore creating
12:17a sexual appeal through a belt line.
12:19Oh.
12:20Now let's continue and get you a scarf.
12:22Draping it loosely around your neck.
12:24And not so tight is going to elongate your body and create a very much slimming silhouette
12:28for you.
12:29I think I will use my lady lesson in the future the next time I go shopping.
12:32Shantay.
12:33First thing we're going to get for you is a nice belt.
12:35The benefit of going with a tonal belt is going to create an instantly slimming line.
12:38Moving on to your scarf.
12:40The way to wear this scarf best, really for you, is to loosely drape it.
12:45What this is going to do is bring all the attention to frame your beautiful face.
12:48And a long scarf can double as a lasso for those men.
12:52What do you think?
12:53Well, I would say that the line forms this way, gentlemen.
12:55Okay.
12:56Oh.
12:58With what I'm learning from Ashton, I think I can really start to get into this whole
13:03accessorizing thing.
13:04So Dylan, first up, we're going to start with belts for you as well.
13:06Okay.
13:07You have a petite frame.
13:08You don't want to overpower it with a big belt or too much accessory.
13:11That's great to know for us petite girls.
13:14This is more of a medium weight scarf.
13:16And the versatility of this is amazing.
13:18Tying it in a knot can create warmth.
13:21Or if you let it go, this can double as simply a pop of color.
13:25Accessorizing really isn't a skill that I use on a daily basis.
13:28So I'm excited to learn what they have to teach me.
13:31And all these looks and accessories are yours to keep, courtesy of Susie's Deals.
13:36Awesome.
13:37You ladies look great in your accessories, but this accessory is all mine.
13:43And that's today's lady lesson.
13:45Bye-bye.
13:46Bye, Lady Bunny.
13:47What?
13:48Coming up.
13:49Could you do that again, please?
13:50I am terrified of performing for an audience.
13:53I would rather have a swarm of zombies coming at me.
13:56And now a word from the president of Drag U, RuPaul.
14:01Unspookable.
14:02Is unspookable A, flawless?
14:06B, a hatred of Halloween.
14:08Trick or treat.
14:09Or C, to be unafraid of sharing needles.
14:12Hey, girl.
14:14The answer when we return.
14:15Drag U, are you ready for me?
14:19So what does unspookable mean?
14:22A, flawless.
14:24Under the disco lights, Cornicia was completely unspookable.
14:29This has been a word from President RuPaul.
14:32It's a miracle.
14:34Drag U.
14:39So Elizabeth Payne likes to wear a short skirt.
14:42Yes, she does.
14:44How do you feel about short skirts, Christy?
14:47Um, as long as they're of a certain length, I enjoy short skirts.
14:51As long as your cooter's not hanging out.
14:52Yeah, I'm not trying to flash my cooter.
14:54Show your cooter to get free publicity.
14:57Do not show your cooter if it looks like bacon strips.
15:00What do you see here?
15:01I see a woman that's not having an issue with her weight because obviously she's confident.
15:07And I'm not confident.
15:08I lost it a long time ago, you know?
15:10Yeah.
15:11And I just don't know how to get it back.
15:13Professor GGB is going to do it for you, baby.
15:15I know you believe in me.
15:16I believe in you.
15:18What about this image makes you most uncomfortable?
15:21I think honestly the leg part because I hate my thighs.
15:25I just feel they are disproportionate to the rest of me.
15:28This look says one thing and that is if you don't toot your own horn, no one's going to know
15:31you're coming.
15:31I am most nervous about having to wear an outfit that has a slit all the way up to my
15:37hip.
15:42Hello, Ladykins.
15:44Hi, you.
15:45Now, like I always say, you're born naked and the rest is drag.
15:49Now, I've seen what you ladies wear to bed.
15:52And quite frankly, it's giving me nightmares.
15:56So I'm here to help with your everyday drag looks.
16:00Let's start with Christy.
16:01Now, this is your current sleepwear look.
16:06And here are two new options.
16:08You get to choose one.
16:10Dreamy, a silky cherry set with a lacy robe to show off your legs.
16:16Or cozy, pink print pants with a v-neck tee that pulls the girls front and center.
16:23Oh, my God.
16:24Up next, Shantae.
16:26Hey, hey.
16:26This is your current sleepwear look.
16:32And here are two new options.
16:36Sultry, silky purple PJs give you a trim silhouette.
16:40Or plush, a cotton nightie with a waffle robe that shows off your legs.
16:46Well, I like both of them, actually.
16:48You know, when you wear silk against your skin, it's very sexy.
16:52It is.
16:52It is.
16:53But I don't want to be turned on and there's nobody home.
16:55Well, you know, sometimes things happen.
17:00And last but not least, Dylan.
17:02Hi, Rue.
17:03This is your current sleepwear look.
17:05Oh, child.
17:08Now, here are two new options.
17:11Comfy, tie front boy boxers with a crew neck top.
17:16Or sexy, black satin pajamas.
17:19Both give you a long, lean look.
17:21Thank you, Rue.
17:23Delta, who provided these fabulous fashions?
17:27Intimo, of course.
17:28Of course.
17:31Ladies, your homework assignment is to pick the outfit that pushes your boundaries
17:36and leaves the judges gagging.
17:39But now, put on your boogie shoes and meet me at dance class.
17:44Yes.
17:49Where are my girls at?
17:51Make your heels clap.
17:54Class, I'd like you to meet our dean of dance, Candace Kane.
17:59Hello, ladies.
18:00Hi, Candace.
18:01She's a great choreographer and one of my dearest squirrel friends.
18:04Now, she's going to help you dig deep and shake it up.
18:08Candace, what song have you chosen to set these women free?
18:13I thought a good choice would be Burning Up by Madonna.
18:17Oh, wow.
18:20Girl, turn up the heat.
18:22I love that song.
18:25Class, Candace will also be judging your final performance.
18:29And she don't want no half-stepping.
18:31Candace, let them have it.
18:34Yes, ma'am.
18:37I am terrified of performing for an audience.
18:40I would rather have a swarm of zombies coming at me.
18:43One, throw two.
18:45Three, throw four.
18:47What?
18:48Could you do that again?
18:50Yes, shoulders back.
18:52Hands on the boobs.
18:54Hands on the head.
18:55It's not grabbing the boobs.
18:56It's just like pressing the outside.
18:59My booby train.
19:00It's heart and heart and heart and heart.
19:04And showgirl, showgirl, showgirl, showgirl, showgirl.
19:10Sexy.
19:11This is all hips.
19:12Christy just needs to sex it up on the runway.
19:15She's got the walk.
19:16She's got the moves.
19:17But there's just no va-va-va-voom.
19:21Do you think you've got it?
19:22I can't.
19:22Yeah.
19:22I mean, almost mostly.
19:24You're doing well with it?
19:25It's hard.
19:26Some things are a little out of my comfort zone.
19:28What's out of your comfort zone?
19:29Oh, I mean, the body issues or whatever.
19:33It's probably why I don't dance more.
19:34You know, everybody has body issues.
19:36Yeah.
19:37But I need you to be sexy.
19:38I'm terrified now.
19:39Don't be terrified.
19:40It's easy for Candice not to be terrified because she is sickening.
19:44I want to see you hit like you're bumping somebody over.
19:49Exactly.
19:50Give me a little bit of sexy.
19:53You've got it working.
19:55I think Shantae just needs to really let loose and try to be sexy.
19:59in her body.
20:00Now, I want you to think about using this gorgeous curve that you have.
20:05You have the darling little body.
20:07You should work it out.
20:08I don't feel sexy.
20:10I'm not a sexy person.
20:11I just want to be invisible.
20:13You should be all hips and hitting it and all of that.
20:17Yeah.
20:17But not in a goofy way, in a sexy way.
20:20I'm worried about looking more ridiculous by trying to be sexy than I would being silly.
20:26Coming up.
20:27Ember Alert is falling back into Dylan, but she has to stay Ember Alert if she's going
20:32to get through this competition.
20:34Here's a drag queen tip about making your eyes look bigger and brighter.
20:37Take a white pencil and line the lower lash.
20:40Put a highlighter on the dark areas of your eyes next to your nose and on the inner corner
20:45of your eyelid and under the eye above your blush.
20:48Then put on your regular eye makeup.
20:51Boop, boop.
20:52What big eyes do you have?
20:54All the better to be with, my dear.
20:56I'm Professor Willem, and that was your Drag Tip of the Day.
21:00Drag you, are you ready for me?
21:04It's a miracle, drag you.
21:14Oh, no, wait, not that.
21:15The dance is the thing that concerns me the most.
21:18Hit, hit.
21:18Right.
21:19And then we smile and gyrate, and then we walk.
21:21Right.
21:21Okay.
21:22Hey!
21:24Hey, girl.
21:26It's Draguation Day.
21:27So you're a singer and a dancer.
21:29Why don't you do it more often?
21:31Oh, you know, auditions are hard.
21:33No shits.
21:35And it's just hard to hear no all the time, and people are going to be mean to you.
21:38Christy's lack of self-confidence is making me really nervous.
21:42So how's it going here at Drag You?
21:44Trying to keep my head above water.
21:46Are you thinking of it as a Broadway show?
21:48Kind of.
21:49There was a particular show that I was utterly perfect for, and auditioned for several times.
21:54And it just never happened.
21:56No, you're fixated on the rejection part of it.
21:59You're not focusing on the part where, how many times were you asked back?
22:01Oh, almost 20 times.
22:03The fact that they asked you back 20 times is phenomenal.
22:08Focus on that.
22:09I've never thought of that as a positive before.
22:12Would Felicity Payne be upset if she didn't get the part?
22:16Oh, she'd walk to the next audition.
22:17Yes, that's what we're doing here.
22:19That's what this is about.
22:20Yeah.
22:20I want you to audition for my show, Cover Girl.
22:23Here.
22:23Cover Girl the musical.
22:24Right here in front of the door right there.
22:26And I want you to sing Cover Girl in Broadway style.
22:29Okay?
22:30And go.
22:31Cover Girl, put the face in your box.
22:34Head to toe.
22:36Let your whole body talk.
22:38You got the part.
22:39All right.
22:40Go and rehearse.
22:41We'll see you at Draguation.
22:42Thank you, Rue.
22:43All right, kiddo.
22:44I really feel like this is just one step closer to being on Broadway.
22:48I don't too much like looking in the mirror.
22:50I want you to look in there and say one nice thing.
22:52I want three, really.
22:54I like my nose.
22:55Let's go to the second one now.
22:57I like myself.
22:58That's a step.
22:59One more.
23:02Shantae, where the hell is Dolores Day?
23:05How is Dolores Day?
23:08This is a hard process.
23:09Who taught you how to live?
23:12Your mom or your dad?
23:14As far as I can remember, I've always had to take care of myself.
23:17You need to be loved.
23:18You need to be nourished.
23:21Because what I see looking across from me is a beautiful woman who is actually in her prime.
23:26Yeah.
23:27And that's where Dolores Day comes in.
23:30Is Dolores Day sexy?
23:32Yes, she is.
23:33How?
23:33What's sexy about her?
23:35Just confidence in the way she carries herself.
23:37I want to see it.
23:38Okay.
23:39You will.
23:40All right.
23:40That'll be boom, bang, pow.
23:42Good.
23:43And then you're going to transfer that into your everyday life.
23:45Yes.
23:46Absolutely.
23:47All right, kiddo.
23:47You are dismissed.
23:49Boom, pow.
23:50Boom, pow, bang.
23:53Speaking with Rue makes me realize that I've got to start off each day with a fresh new thought,
23:58and that new thought is that I'm worth it.
24:00So do you feel like you're confident and ready to show the judges what you've accomplished here so far?
24:05I'm still not entirely comfortable with the idea of the slit in the dress, but I'm going to do it
24:10because I trust you.
24:12Let me tell you something.
24:13No matter what happens on the runway, I'm proud of you already.
24:19Jujubee, that's my makeup station, yeah?
24:22I just came here because Delta doesn't leave her makeup out.
24:25You're such a diva.
24:27So how's it going out there?
24:28I'm working very hard.
24:30Are you feeling Ember alert?
24:32I'm feeling something.
24:33What is your relationship with your mom now?
24:35My mom kicked me out of her house when I quit college, and we actually haven't spoken for two years.
24:41Your mom is supposed to always be there for you.
24:44Your mom is not supposed to put you on the street.
24:46There's no time to not speak to people.
24:51I'm just worried that if I reach out to her, she's going to reject me again or hurt me again.
24:55This is where Ember alert comes in.
24:58You have the strength.
24:59You're just not seeing it right now.
25:00Focus on that warrior woman that is in you.
25:03And I want to see that in Draguation.
25:05Can I give you a hug?
25:06Absolutely.
25:07You only get one mom, and I want to talk to her, but I'm too scared to because I just
25:14want her to be proud of me.
25:19I have found my inner diva, and her name is Felicity Payne.
25:22You're going to see me on Broadway.
25:25I hope that Drag U helps Christy see herself as a special star she really is, and that she has
25:30what it takes to make it.
25:32Drag U has taught me that it doesn't matter the size on the outside.
25:36It's about the size of the diva on the inside.
25:40After Draguation, I hope Shantae starts putting down the comic books and start really focusing on herself and her appearance.
25:48I came to Drag U because I needed a drag queen to kick my ass, and now I'm ready to
25:52kick everyone else's ass.
25:53We have many secrets at Drag U, and not just the ones we're sitting on.
25:58Dylan is not aware that her mom is sitting in the audience.
26:03Faculty, friends, and family.
26:05It's time to Drag U-ate, bitches.
26:08Drag U, now you're ready for me.
26:11It's a miracle.
26:13Drag U.
26:15Faculty, friends, and family, please welcome your Drag U professors, Andorra Botts, Delta Work, and U2B, and the president of
26:25Drag U, RuPaul.
26:33Welcome to RuPaul's Drag U.
26:35Here to evaluate my girls are the falconcy, our dean of drag, the Lady Bunny, our dean of dance, Candace
26:46Kane, and our visiting professor is an accomplished actress and author, the gorgeous Robin Givens is here.
27:03This week, our class of nerdy girls were challenged to let go of their geek chic and embrace their feminine
27:10mystique.
27:11Now it's time to celebrate.
27:13Let the Draguation commence.
27:18Christy is a Broadway baby who buried her inner light, but now her star is shining, and she's ready for
27:25opening night.
27:26Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage, Felicity Payne.
27:44I had Broadway hopes and dreams, but projection led to self-doubt.
27:49But now with Drag U, I'm back on stage and ready to see my name in lights, because Felicity Payne
27:55is a star, baby!
28:01Christy looks amazing on stage.
28:07Shantae lost her mojo, and then she felt just like a zero.
28:11But now she's invincible like a comic book.
28:14Super Shiro.
28:15Ladies and gentlemen, Dolores Day.
28:28I was a comic book nerd that gained weight and lost my sexy.
28:34But after coming to Drag U, my life is more like a sexy graphic novel.
28:41Shantae is here to stay and here to play.
28:45Shantae, Shantae, Shantae, Shantae!
28:51Girl, Shantae is here to stay.
28:56Dylan worshipped zombies and was living in her head.
28:59But now she's sprung to life and ready to wake the living dead.
29:03Ladies and gentlemen, ember alert!
29:28Mommy!
29:29Hi, sweetie.
29:33You look fabulous.
29:36Rue, what do I do?
29:37You keep on stepping, mama.
29:41Let us now hear your commencement speech.
29:47Growing up, my focus was on going to college.
29:50But after I dropped out, I became a zombie, wandering through life.
29:54But now Drag U has taught me that it's time for me to pursue my own passions.
29:58And this ember is ready to burst in flames.
30:13And this ember is ready to burst in flames.
30:15Oh, my God.
30:17She is falling apart.
30:18I've got to get back there.
30:20I've got to help her pull it together.
30:21The show must go on.
30:28Ember alert is falling back into Dylan.
30:31But she has to stay ember alert if she's going to get through this competition.
30:34Are you proud of yourself?
30:35I am.
30:36She loves you.
30:37Let yourself love her.
30:39Let yourself love her.
30:41Okay?
30:42Leg out.
30:43Smile.
30:43Chin up.
30:44Leg out and smile.
30:44Shoulders back.
30:45Okay.
30:45Bosoms up.
30:47All right, Draguets.
30:48Now begins your oral examination.
30:51Let's start with ember alert.
30:53Hi, Ru.
30:54Hi.
30:54I loved how you've recovered because I know we threw a curveball at you.
30:58Honey, I am a professional.
31:08Would you explain to the audience what's happened?
31:12I haven't seen my mother in two years.
31:16And there she is.
31:25Now, in the drag lab, I gave you a choice of two everyday drag looks.
31:30And here's the look you selected.
31:32Oh.
31:33All right, judges, what do you think of Ember Alert's drag transformation and attitude adjustment?
31:39I love the way that you're just attacking everything and you look fabulous, girl.
31:44I just love watching you come to life.
31:46Next up, Felicity Payne.
31:48Now, how does the outfit make you feel?
31:50I feel like this is the perfect personification of what internally I've been suppressing for a long time.
31:55Now, in the drag lab, I gave you a choice of two everyday drag looks.
32:01And here's the look you selected.
32:03Very sexy.
32:04So, Falcatee, what do we think of Felicity Payne's drag transformation and attitude adjustment?
32:11A star is born, and I'm so glad I got to see your big opening.
32:15You're just magnificent.
32:15And I think if John Waters ever does hairspray again, you are his girl.
32:23Last but not least, Dolores Day.
32:25How does the outfit make you feel?
32:27You know what?
32:28I feel a little slinky, a little sexy.
32:30It just all works.
32:30It works.
32:31Yes.
32:31Now, in the drag lab, I gave you a choice of two everyday drag looks.
32:36And here's the look you selected.
32:38Oh, wow.
32:40Judges, what do you think of Dolores Day's drag transformation and attitude adjustment?
32:45You do seem very confident now.
32:48You are a cross between Cleopatra Jones and Jessica Rabbit, and I love it.
32:52Oh, nice.
32:52Nice.
32:53Thank you very much.
32:55Ladies, it's time for your final drag examination, which counts for half of your grade.
32:59So whoever kills it in the group performance could finish at the top of her class.
33:04So don't flunk it up.
33:07Drag you, are you ready for me?
33:10It's a miracle.
33:12Drag you.
33:14Falcatee family friends.
33:16Tonight, our top Draguit will receive a prize package that includes a $1,000 gift certificate
33:23from Overstock.com to kickstart her new wardrobe.
33:27Now, as president of Drag U, it is my honor to present the Draguating class of Felicity Payne,
33:35Ember Alert, and Dolores Day.
33:38Ladies, let them have it.
33:45Don't pull me off, cause I'm on fire, and I can't crunch my desire.
33:51Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love?
33:55You're not convinced that that is enough.
33:58I put myself in this position, and I deserve the imposition.
34:03But you don't even know, I don't lie.
34:07And there's a pounding in my heart, just one time, I'm burning up.
34:14I'm burning up, burning up for your love.
34:17I'm burning up, burning up for your love.
34:20I'm burning up, burning up for your love.
34:23For your love.
34:27Oh, do you wanna see me down on my knees?
34:30Bailing over, that was mine, would you be pleased?
34:33I'm like the others, I'm like the others, I do anything.
34:36I'm not the same, I have no shame.
34:40I'm on fire.
34:46I'm burning up, burning up for your love.
34:49For your love.
34:51Oh, do you wanna see me down on my knees?
34:55You know you got me burning up, baby.
34:59I'm burning up for your love.
35:05Thank you, ladies.
35:06Please wait backstage while the Falcatee decides which one of you will drag you away with top honors.
35:13All right, Falcatee, based on her DPA, what do you think of Felicity Payne?
35:18Let's start with Lady Bunny.
35:20Complete transformation.
35:22She looked very glamorous.
35:24And when she was on, she was on.
35:25There were moments in the dance where I feel like she could have pushed it further.
35:29Well, I agree, her transformation is amazing.
35:31And she's truly beautiful.
35:33Kind of take off those glasses and she is a star.
35:36What did you think of Dolores Day?
35:38I thought she looked amazing and she's a great dancer.
35:41She was actually the one that I had the most concern about.
35:45Just because she wouldn't let go.
35:47And when she walked on, she really did that.
35:49And it was a really good turnaround for me.
35:51She sparkles.
35:52You know, she's got this smile that lights up the stage.
35:55What did you think of Ember Alert?
35:57I love that there was a transformation and that she seemed very comfortable in what she has become.
36:03I keep thinking of Cyndi Lauper, I have to say.
36:06Actually, she, out of everyone, was the person who remembered mostly the dance moves.
36:11This is going to be a tough one.
36:12All right, Falcatee, it's time for your decision.
36:15I leave it in your capable hands.
36:18Draguets, please report to the main stage.
36:21All Draguets to the main stage.
36:24The Falcatee has compiled your final grades and we have a winner.
36:29May I have the envelope, please?
36:38The top Draguet of RuPaul's Draguet is...
36:48Ember Alert!
36:53Conjagulations!
36:57I just won Draguet.
36:59Look at me!
37:00I am a fabulous success!
37:07Dylan came to Draguet as a humble nerd, but she's leaving as a confident, sexy nerd.
37:11Thank you, Draguet, and thank you, RuPaul, for changing my life and bringing my mommy back to me.
