00:01Good morning, professors.
00:03Good morning, Rue.
00:05A new class is arriving, ready to change their lives through the miracle of drag.
00:10And it is a miracle.
00:12Oh, yes.
00:12Can I get a witness?
00:14Witness!
00:14Today, we have lady boxers whose femininity is on the ropes.
00:19I'm going to need the help of three of you professors to turn these boxers into knockouts, TKOs, and sass
00:26up their everyday drag.
00:28Let's take a look.
00:30Hi, I'm Cynthia.
00:32I'm 32 years old, and I'm a boxer, and my boyfriend just dumped me for looking like a boy.
00:37I want Drag U to help me step out of the ring and make me feel like a woman.
00:42I'm Crystal.
00:43I moved from Chicago to L.A. with my boyfriend, and I found that what was feminine in the Windy
00:48City just doesn't work in Los Angeles.
00:50So at 30, I feel lost, and I need Drag U to help me kick my style up a notch.
00:55I'm Missy.
00:56I'm 32.
00:58I box seven days a week.
01:00At home, my husband and I care for my mother who has cancer.
01:03All the stress has got me depressed, and I don't feel like a woman anymore.
01:06I need Drag U to punch me out of my fashion funk.
01:14Welcome to RuPaul's Drag U.
01:17Let's not pull any punches.
01:19You ladies are boxers who have thrown in the towel when it comes to glamour.
01:24And I fear you're down for the count.
01:26Come on, champ!
01:28Wake up!
01:30But with a drag queen in your corner, you can learn how to be a champ in the ring and
01:36a vamp on the runway.
01:39Now, RuPaul's Drag U, like the real world, is a competition.
01:42You'll be evaluated on your DPA, your drag point average.
01:46D is for drag transformation, P is for performance, and A is your attitude adjustment.
01:53Now, you have 48 hours until your draguation.
01:56And in the end, only one of you will draguate with top honors and walk away with a fabulous Drag
02:03U scholarship.
02:05Yo, yo, Julissa, tell us what you win!
02:08Our Top Draguet will receive a year's supply of custom makeup by Cinema Secrets Professional Cosmetics
02:14and a $1,000 gift card for fashions from Overstock.com.
02:18And that's not all.
02:19The Top Draguet will also receive $3,166.46.
02:27Ooh!
02:28Are you ready to do whatever it takes to become the baddest bitch in school?
02:34Yes!
02:35Yes!
02:35Can I get a RuHa?
02:36RuHa!
02:37First stop, the Drag Lab.
02:39Walk this way.
02:43No, really, walk this way.
02:46Dork.
02:48This is the Drag Lab.
02:50Here, you'll find everything you'll need for your diva transformation
02:54with more outrageous fashions and colorful wigs than the spectators at the Hunger Games.
03:02Oh my gosh, I get to play in this stuff? This is awesome.
03:04But the most important factor is your own personal drag professor.
03:11Door.
03:14Cynthia, you're with Raven.
03:17Cynthia is a tall, dark, lovely queen.
03:22Crystal, you're with Jujubee.
03:24What's up?
03:25Hey!
03:26She is adorable!
03:28Missy, that means you've got Chad Michaels in your corner.
03:32Got something for ya.
03:33One way to get my girl going is to smack her in the ass with this.
03:37Professors, time to take your students through drag orientation.
03:41Ladies, this is the beginning of the rest of your life.
03:45Life, life, life.
03:47Move, bitch!
03:53So, beside your arms, what do you think is the sexiest part of your body?
03:56My tummy.
03:57Can I see it?
03:58Oh, wow.
03:59A little sex pet.
04:00A little one, that's real nice.
04:01If a guy's not strong enough to handle how strong I am, then I'm not interested.
04:06My ex would always make fun of me.
04:07He's like, your chin is so big, and your face is too big, and all this stuff.
04:11Like, when he was sweet, he was really sweet, but when he was mean, he was just evil.
04:13And I would always think it was my fault.
04:17Well, maybe that's why he's an ex.
04:18Well, yeah.
04:19My philosophy on acceptance from other people is other people.
04:23Would you wear this around him a lot?
04:25Yeah, it's like, probably, I was wearing something like that when I met him.
04:28Really?
04:29Yeah, I work in a gym.
04:30It's just comfortable.
04:31Well, take your ponytail out.
04:32Okay.
04:33See, you have gorgeous hair.
04:35It was the bane of my existence as a kid, but I don't know how to fix it.
04:38Well, girl, you know how you fix it here?
04:40You put a wig on your head, bitch.
04:44What is the sexiest part of your body?
04:46I feel like I've always struggled with weight.
04:48Uh-huh.
04:49But no matter what phase I'm in, my butt is always good.
04:52Oh.
04:52Let me see it stand up.
04:54I want to see.
04:54It's pretty good.
04:55Oh, Miss Thing, you do got a bootay.
04:57Can I touch it?
04:58Of course.
04:59I have to say that I am no longer gay.
05:03It is soft like butter.
05:06I don't know if I want to ask this question, but this is the after gym look.
05:10Oh, God.
05:11You know, that was the same reaction I had.
05:13Did you look in the mirror that day?
05:15I just don't care.
05:16I live with my boyfriend, and I think I'm just so comfortable with him that I stop trying.
05:20Girl.
05:21I'm kind of embarrassed that I've let myself get to that point.
05:25We got a lot of work, but it's going to be fierce.
05:29I want to know, what makes you blush?
05:32Compliments.
05:33Compliments?
05:33Yeah.
05:34I think you should be getting compliments all the time, Gerber Hall.
05:36Missy's a blank canvas, and you can call me Da Vinci.
05:39What's going on in your life right now?
05:41My mom's sick.
05:42She has stage four breast cancer, and you know, there's no cure for that.
05:47And I take care of my husband and animals, and then working all the time.
05:51So it's like, when do I have time for me?
05:52Well, you know what?
05:53I want to help you.
05:54Good.
05:54I want to help you get your groove back.
05:56Yes.
05:56I want to help you feel good.
05:57I want to help you feel sexy.
05:58We need to go over this.
05:59This is what you say is your after-gym look.
06:03I still look like I'm in the gym.
06:05My poor husband, like, he sees me like that all the time.
06:07I feel bad.
06:09You know, at the end of the day, you still want your wife to be pretty and sweet and take
06:13care of you, you know?
06:14I can't imagine that your husband just doesn't adore you like a pearl in a shell.
06:20It's all up from here.
06:21So dry those tears off.
06:29Ladies, before you can work it as a drag queen, a girl's got to have a little fun.
06:35You have to learn how much fun it can be to dress up.
06:39Using all the colors in the crayon box, I want you to go wild.
06:43Put together a quick drag look.
06:46You have five minutes.
06:48Ready, set, play.
06:52Go, girl.
06:53Let's do this.
06:54Lift.
06:54Lift.
06:55We need to get to work, Missy.
06:56This is called quick drag.
06:58Let's go.
06:59If I had your body, I'd be in a tube top and a thong every day.
07:02All day.
07:03I'm trying to push myself.
07:04My goal was just push myself out of my comfort zone.
07:06Oh, honey.
07:08Yes, this is mine.
07:10You have a great taste.
07:12If you keep your game like this, you will drag you away with top honors.
07:15You're not going to win today.
07:16Have you seen your girl compared to my girl?
07:19I can't even look at your face right now.
07:20I want sushi so bad.
07:22I'd rather be raw tuna than burnt trout, bitch.
07:25Honey, you just look like a bag of Skittles right now.
07:27Taste the rainbow, honey, yes.
07:30I've never gotten on my knees for a woman.
07:31Wow, I feel so special.
07:33Ooh, this is too short.
07:35Well, you're just too tall.
07:36You're not going to see all my beginnings and ends.
07:37I'm not lucky.
07:40Ladies, meet me at the Draggy Linger.
07:44Cynthia, that color is one of my favorite colors ever, especially because it's that
07:49delicious, creamy caramel skin.
07:51Now, is that suntanned?
07:52Mm-hmm.
07:53Gorgeous.
07:54If you feel good from the inside, it permeates outside.
07:57Crystal, why the animal print shoes?
08:00I think it's very fierce and ferocious, and that's what I want to be.
08:04Missy.
08:05Now, tell me about this dress here.
08:06I like color.
08:07Uh-huh.
08:07Trying to do more color.
08:08All right.
08:09The Dragulator is a highly sophisticated piece of technology.
08:13I input your personal data, and the Dragulator determines your drag name and gives you a glimpse
08:20at the diva you'll unleash and take home.
08:23Cynthia, let's start with you.
08:28Coming up.
08:29Show me how you walk into a room.
08:31Oh, that's not so hot.
08:32And later...
08:33You're a liar.
08:34You might as well just go back to Chicago.
08:36Get out of my head!
08:37Get out of my head!
08:38Drag you now you're heading for me.
08:42It's a miracle.
08:44Drag you...
08:50Cynthia, let's start with you.
08:53Okay.
08:56Commence Dragulation.
09:00Dragulation complete.
09:04Kayla Decanter.
09:05Oh.
09:06My.
09:07Gosh.
09:09What do you think?
09:10I kind of think it's like Grace Jones in James Bond.
09:14Oh, that's sexy.
09:15I love it.
09:16I love how this outfit is taking advantage of that gorgeous body.
09:20This whole area is open here with these beautiful arms.
09:22It just shows off the best of you.
09:25And wear the same height so I can have that when she's done.
09:27Sure.
09:28Oh, if I can look that beautiful, that would be just amazing.
09:31Up next, Crystal.
09:35Dragulation complete.
09:38Touché.
09:39Oh.
09:41She's sexy.
09:43Oh, that dress.
09:44Does it come in a 12?
09:47Why for me?
09:48Because aren't you a 14?
09:49Go choking a .
09:51What do you think, Crystal?
09:52I like it.
09:53I've always been a little insecure about how round my face is.
09:56And this is the first time I've seen it looking round but beautiful.
10:00You see that the Dragulator has given you a hairstyle that sort of puts off the roundness of your face.
10:06It's sort of to an angle, which always helps.
10:07This will work at home, too.
10:09I came into this very overwhelmed, not sure what to expect, and I'm discovering a lot about myself.
10:14And last but not least, Missy.
10:17Let's meet your drag avatar.
10:21Adina Powers.
10:23Oh.
10:24You better work.
10:25Wow, she's hot.
10:27A little Grecian storyline going on there.
10:30I don't know who that is.
10:31Really?
10:32You see yourself in there, don't you?
10:33A little bit.
10:34And I love this sort of nude and black storyline that's just very sensual and sexy.
10:40That's very sexy.
10:41I never wear this stuff.
10:42I think the Dragulator went nude on you because your skin tone is so beautiful.
10:47It actually makes your own skin tone very warm.
10:50And the nude color is just so chic and just sensual.
10:55It's totally different from what I normally am.
10:57Hallelujah.
10:58All right, ladies.
10:59Time to ditch your quick drag and get ready for your first lady lesson.
11:07Allow me to introduce our dean of drag, the Lady Bunny.
11:12Good morning, girls.
11:14Good morning, Lady Bunny.
11:16Bunny, these boxers need more feminine grace.
11:20Well, I may not be a boxer, but I can sure take a pounding.
11:24Oh, yeah, I read that in the men's room.
11:27Ladies, learn it and learn it well.
11:31Let's turn to the Drag U handbook.
11:36Look, it's fitness expert Mario Mosley.
11:40Today we're going to use some yoga and stretching exercises to help you move more gracefully.
11:44But first I want to loosen you up a bit and open up your course.
11:47We're just going to roll our shoulders back nice and slow all the way up and all the way down.
11:53Up high to the sky and way down.
11:55Feel it loosening up?
11:57Yes.
11:58Doesn't that feel great?
11:59Uh-huh.
12:00Uh-huh.
12:01All right, ladies.
12:02Let's start with how you stand.
12:04Show me how you would normally stand.
12:06Oh, that's not so hot.
12:08You're just not really exuding any confidence.
12:11So let's try this instead.
12:12We're going to roll it back a couple times.
12:13Loosen up again.
12:14Then when you get to the back, hold it there and push those shoulders down.
12:18Keep your chest way up.
12:19Smile.
12:20Maybe throw some attitude.
12:21Look around the room.
12:22See how beautiful you look?
12:24Now, show me how you normally sit in a chair.
12:29So here's the problem with that.
12:31You're all three sitting way hunched over.
12:33Your energy, again, is going down into the floor.
12:34So I'm going to show you a yoga exercise that's going to help you sit down with more poise and
12:38grace.
12:39Bring your feet shoulder-width apart.
12:41And from here, you're going to just take the weight back, keeping your back nice and straight and your body
12:45elongated.
12:46Now, reach up towards the sky above your head and hold.
12:51So this elongation will help you not hunch over when you're sitting.
12:54And go ahead and sit down. Sit on the edge of your chair.
12:57You want to sit right at the edge to keep your body upright.
13:00Now, from there, angle slightly to the right and cross at your ankles.
13:03You don't want to cross at the knees because sometimes that can lead to varicose veins and you don't want
13:07those.
13:08I feel very classy.
13:09That's exactly what you're supposed to feel.
13:11I'm used to training for boxing, but this lady lesson is tough.
13:15And finally, we're going to work on making an entrance.
13:17So we're going to do a little exercise that will help lengthen your body and get those hips back into
13:21action.
13:22Push the right arm up, the left arm down.
13:24Now sit into it.
13:26And switch.
13:27Push out.
13:28Let's see those hips really sit into it.
13:30Don't be afraid to push them out.
13:31I could definitely have some fun with your hips, Mario.
13:35Of course.
13:35You've got both of yours replaced.
13:38Oh, yeah?
13:38How would you like to replace your eye shadow with bruises?
13:42All right, ladies.
13:43So we're going to work on how we should really walk into a room.
13:46So just follow along.
13:47You're going to bring your right foot to the front, crossing right on top of the left.
13:50Here.
13:51Now put the weight into that right foot.
13:52Now bring your right shoulder back.
13:54Now do the same thing on the left.
13:56I'm thinking face and where I'm looking and chest and shoulders and hips.
14:01Too many things to think about.
14:03Walk in.
14:04Look over everyone.
14:06They're waiting for you.
14:07You strike that pose because you have arrived.
14:10Oh.
14:10I feel like I'm rediscovering myself again.
14:14Well done, ladies.
14:15And now that Mario's helped out you boxers, I'm going to help Mario out of his boxers.
14:21And that's today's lady lesson.
14:23Bye-bye.
14:25Bye.
14:26Slat.
14:28Coming up.
14:29Two, three, four.
14:31Mmm.
14:31Come on. You can do this. You can do this.
14:33Whatever you're thinking about, I want you to lose it.
14:35This is so tough for me.
14:36And now a word from the president of Drag U, RuPaul.
14:41Ovaness.
14:43Is ovaness A.
14:45Knowing when to flip over while suntanning.
14:48B.
14:49Realizing it's time to stop listening to the same Barbara Streisand album.
14:53Or C.
14:54The state of being beyond amazing.
14:56Like nachos.
14:57The answer when we return.
15:02So what does ovaness mean?
15:05C.
15:06The state of being beyond amazing.
15:08Miss Thing pummeled the runway with unadulterated ovaness.
15:14This has been a word from President RuPaul.
15:16It's a miracle.
15:23I mean, what do you really think of this?
15:25I really love it.
15:27It's not masculine in any way, shape, or form, but it's strong and powerful.
15:30So what do you think your ex would think of this look?
15:33You know what?
15:34I don't really care what my ex thinks.
15:37Good for you.
15:38I'm here to learn.
15:39And it's outside my comfort zone.
15:41And that's why I'm here.
15:42I'm just trying to push those thoughts out of my head and just really focus and have fun.
15:46I've never really been able to do the lace, the sexy, that kind of thing.
15:51I never really think of myself as sexy.
15:54Maybe cute.
15:55You are very cute.
15:56I mean, I must admit that.
15:57But cute can be sexy at the same time.
15:59With that sexiness will come the confidence that I know I have.
16:03I just need to get it out.
16:06Adina Powers.
16:07Yes.
16:08It's a big name to live up to.
16:10Yeah.
16:10I mean, you can make me look like that, but can I bring what needs to come behind it?
16:15I just don't want to let anyone down, you know?
16:17Right.
16:18I want to be strong for my husband.
16:20I really want to be strong for my mom, but it's hard.
16:24I know.
16:25Life is not easy.
16:26However, Adina Powers is strong enough, baby.
16:30She tries really hard to please other people, and someone needs to take care of Missy.
16:38Hello, Ladykins.
16:40Now, like I always say, you're born naked and the rest is drag, kiddo.
16:45So, I'm here to help with your everyday drag looks.
16:48Now, I've seen what you've been wearing after your workouts.
16:51And quite frankly, it makes me break out in a cold sweat.
16:54Ooh.
16:56Let's start with Cynthia.
16:58Now, this is your current after-gym look.
17:01Oh, my, my, my.
17:03My muscles are cramping.
17:04Here are two new options.
17:07You get to choose one.
17:09Slinky.
17:11A sleek sheath with cherry red belt.
17:14Or versatile.
17:16A jersey dress with a jewel neckline.
17:18Both show off your incredible arms and legs.
17:22As I'm looking at my everyday drag, I'm excited to wear it and see how it looks.
17:25It looks sophisticated.
17:26Up next, Crystal.
17:28This is your current after-gym look.
17:31Womp, womp, womp.
17:33Here are two new options.
17:36Retro.
17:37A short-sleeved kimono dress with a high-waisted print sash to soften your curves.
17:43Or modern.
17:45A sleeveless wrap dress that shows off your arms and defines your waist.
17:50My everyday drag is much more sophisticated than anything in my closet.
17:54Last but not least, Missy.
17:57This is your current after-gym look.
18:02And here are two new options.
18:06Sophisticated.
18:07A belted day dress gives you a trim waist and features your great arms.
18:12Or savvy.
18:13A silky belted tunic that gives you a perfect hourglass figure.
18:18I'm excited about everyday drag.
18:20I feel like now I have options and choices, something to go with.
18:23Raven, who provided these fabulous fashions?
18:26Single, of course.
18:28Of course.
18:31Alright ladies, your homework assignment is to pick the outfit that pushes your boundaries
18:36and leaves the faculty gagging.
18:39But now, put on your boogie shoes and meet me at dance class.
18:44Hey.
18:46Hey girl.
18:47You ready to boogie?
18:49Where'd he go?
18:50Where are my girls at?
18:52Make your heels clap.
18:56Class, I'd like you to meet our Dean of Dance, Jamal Sims.
19:00Hello ladies.
19:01Jamal, what song have you chosen to set these women free?
19:04I chose one of my personal favorites.
19:06Uh, do you know the song Glamazon?
19:11I thought he might know.
19:13Now you don't understand.
19:15I love this song.
19:16It's so infectious.
19:17It's so catchy.
19:17Class, Jamal will also be judging your final performance.
19:21And he don't want to see no house.
19:23Now Jamal, let them have it.
19:29So tell me about your boogie.
19:32Uh-huh.
19:34Like that.
19:35We don't want that.
19:36There's some moves I can do.
19:38Not many.
19:39One, two, three, four.
19:41Crystal, you're going like this.
19:44Right?
19:44And we don't want to look like that.
19:45I can't get that hip thing down.
19:48It's like my hips don't want to move.
19:50She needs to let go.
19:51Move your hips, honey.
19:53One, two, three, four.
19:55Oh, back.
19:56Okay.
19:56One, two, three, four.
19:58Uh-huh.
20:00I couldn't get the moves right.
20:01I was like, come on, you can do this.
20:02You can do this.
20:02Two, three, four.
20:04And five, six.
20:05And I just thought, like, am I reinforcing all the times that people are making fun of me?
20:10Like, oh, you look like a man.
20:11You move like a guy and this and that.
20:12That just bothers me.
20:13Five, six, seven, eight.
20:15Go.
20:15One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
20:19You're looking at me like, is that okay?
20:22Yeah.
20:23You are.
20:24Yeah.
20:24I don't know if I can help Missy dance better.
20:27Go.
20:28One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
20:32Okay.
20:33Whatever you're thinking about, me thinking about you, I want you to lose it.
20:37Missy has to focus on having fun.
20:39She basically has to dance like nobody's watching.
20:41I want you to trust yourself.
20:43This is so tough for me.
20:44I'm putting myself on the line and I really want to prove myself.
20:50Coming up.
20:51How's it going out there?
20:52I still feel like I'm stuck in middle school.
20:54Hit her.
20:55Say my name, bitch.
20:58Here's a drag queen tip on the do's and don'ts of tattoos.
21:01Do experiment with a temporary tattoo before getting a real one.
21:05And don't get a tattoo of your lover's name because it's there forever.
21:09Do get an image that reminds you of them.
21:11So, if you met your love at the Jazz Cat Cafe, get a jazz cat on your arm as a
21:16remembrance.
21:17So, even if you had a dramatic breakup, you still have a cool tattoo.
21:21And that's the tits on Tats.
21:24I'm Professor Work and that was your drag tip of the day.
21:26Drag you, are you ready for me?
21:29It's a miracle. Drag you.
21:37Who's that girl?
21:39Fly ferocious lady.
21:41Get up and dance.
21:42I was asleep.
21:44I was so mesmerized.
21:45There's so much pressure right now to get this dance right.
21:47I'm scared.
21:48Five, six, seven, eight bitches.
21:50Come on.
21:51Good morning.
21:52It's two hours before drag-uation and I'm just not getting it.
21:56There's sexual in the song.
21:58Yeah.
21:58How do you feel about that?
21:59I'm thinking that with the hair and the makeup that will help bring out that inner sex I have somewhere
22:04in there.
22:05The whole trick for me is wear something sexy underneath.
22:09Like right now, I have a corset on from Leg Avenue.
22:12It's cinching me in.
22:13It's giving me body.
22:14But it's also elongating everything.
22:15I feel sexy in it.
22:16That right there, that's from Leg Avenue as well.
22:18You know that it's under there and it's hot.
22:21You can unwrap it for the lucky him.
22:23Or her.
22:25Whomever you choose.
22:27How's it going out there?
22:29It's very hard because I'm breaking really old habits.
22:33So I have to be elegant and classy.
22:35And so I've always been a tomboy.
22:38And, you know, kids are just ruthless.
22:40They're so mean.
22:41And I would get every name in the book.
22:43And then as I got to an adult, it didn't really end.
22:46And I still feel like I'm stuck in middle school.
22:48And I'm still just that little girl, but I have to be tough all the time.
22:51And it's like I can't be tough all the time.
22:57What you can't do, Kayla can do.
23:00Because, you know, we've all been picked on.
23:03We've all been made fun of.
23:04And we turn that into a plus.
23:07And I know you've turned that corner right now.
23:09The fact that you're here is proof enough you need to know that you have turned that corner.
23:13Once you turn that corner, you can use that as what powers you through.
23:17You're a special kid.
23:19You really are.
23:20Now you go out there and you knock them dead at draguation.
23:24I will.
23:24I will. Thank you so much.
23:25All right, kiddo.
23:26See you out there.
23:26He really conveyed a message to me like I don't have to repeat a lot of the same painful things
23:31I felt as a child.
23:32I can get out of that pattern.
23:34I don't have to just stay in that cycle.
23:35You said something that kind of struck a chord with me.
23:38You said, I'm thinking about pleasing you.
23:40Is that the way you feel?
23:41I like to help people.
23:43But it's also a people pleasing thing.
23:45Yeah, I want to make people happy.
23:47It's all about you today and it's all about you from today on.
23:51Yeah.
23:51And that doesn't mean that you let your responsibilities go by the wayside, but it means that you do take
23:56the extra time to make some time for yourself.
23:58Yeah.
23:59What's been the hardest part so far?
24:01Somewhere in me there's always this fat little girl.
24:04Mm-hmm.
24:05As soon as I start to feel down and it feels like the world's closing in, she comes out like,
24:09I told you you couldn't do it.
24:10This is where Touche comes in because I want you to counterbalance that voice.
24:14Allow Touche to be a part of your daily routine.
24:17At the beginning of the day, or any time during the day, you say, I am a gift to this
24:22world.
24:22And I want you to do that in the same way you would approach kickboxing.
24:26I can visualize that too.
24:27Good.
24:28Just like I punched that bag.
24:29Can you give me an example of your kickboxing of what Touche would look like kickboxing the negative voice?
24:36You might as well just go back to Chicago.
24:37What does Touche have to say to that?
24:38Touche says, no, Sally.
24:40I don't know why, but that's the name that came to my head.
24:44No, Sally, you're a liar.
24:46And you need to get out!
24:48Get out of my head!
24:49Get out of my head!
24:51Ah!
24:52Yes!
24:53Now work on that voice.
24:55Work on it coming from your core.
24:58All right, kiddo.
24:58That inner voice that I deemed Sally when I was talking to Rue, she is gone.
25:02I have knocked her out.
25:04Girl, what are you doing back there?
25:05I'm talking.
25:08I've been thinking, and Chad hasn't been properly welcomed to drag you.
25:15It's time for some initiation, bitch.
25:19Get up!
25:20What are you saying?
25:21Initiations!
25:23Get her, bitch.
25:23No!
25:25Get her.
25:26Say my name, bitch!
25:28Say my name!
25:28Hit her!
25:29Say my name, bitch!
25:34Don't try this at home, kids.
25:35How's it been going overall?
25:37It's a lot to take in.
25:38I know that you take care of your mother.
25:40It's tough on you, isn't it?
25:42Yeah.
25:42Yeah.
25:43I love my mom so much.
25:45Yeah.
25:45I'm sure she'd be very proud of you here.
25:47And I'm sure she would want for you to have time to yourself, too.
25:51Yes.
25:51She doesn't want me to do what she did.
25:52You know, she worked so hard her whole life that it, you know, it made her sick.
25:57Mm-hmm.
25:57You really can't give to anyone else unless you give to yourself first.
26:01What do you think your mother would say about Adina Powers?
26:04Adina Powers?
26:05My mom would be blown away.
26:06She probably wouldn't know what to say.
26:08Is there any of your mom in Adina Powers?
26:11Certainly.
26:11My mom's a very strong woman.
26:13Is your mom a glamour girl?
26:14No, my mom's not glamorous at all.
26:16That's how come I'm lacking all this female stuff.
26:19And we missed out on some of that stuff, you know.
26:22We didn't even really bond that much either.
26:25So, it's like, I didn't get all that hair and makeup.
26:27This is how you date.
26:28This is what you do.
26:29You know, I didn't get all that.
26:30Here, we get to teach you how to paint yourself up and be gorgeous.
26:35Yes.
26:35But what you'll take away from here is the conviction in knowing that you have this guardian, Adina Powers.
26:42Let Adina Powers take care of you.
26:44You're going to be fabulous out there.
26:46From now on, I think I can really be in the moment and take care of me.
26:53When I sit in my chair and someone's doing this and that and primping,
26:56I felt, you know, I can kick some ass and take some names.
26:58I'm going to knock them dead.
27:00What I'd really like to see Cynthia get out of Drag U is to take that same fighting spirit
27:04that she puts in every day in the ring and put it into the rest of her life.
27:08How am I going to dance and perform and rock it on stage when I'm still just finally getting my
27:13confidence back?
27:14I hope I can be half as confident as Touche.
27:16That bitch is fierce.
27:17I hope Crystal's experience in Drag U gives her some of her confidence back.
27:21I hope we start to see the old Crystal come out again.
27:23I'm going to be sexy for my husband because he's sexy and he deserves a sexy wife.
27:27Dear God, I hope I can pull this off.
27:29If I were to see Missy in something else besides her gym attire,
27:32I would like to see her in a nice dress, maybe some nice heels.
27:35I am really excited to see Missy perform on stage today.
27:37faculty, friends, and family.
27:40It's time to Draguate, bitches.
27:43Draguate for me.
27:45It's a miracle, Drag U.
27:49Please welcome your Drag U professors.
27:52Raven, Jujubee, and Chad Michaels.
27:57And the president of Drag U, RuPaul.
28:07Welcome to RuPaul's Drag U.
28:10Here to evaluate my girls are the faculty, our dean of drag, the Lady Bunny.
28:17Our dean of dance, Jamal Sims.
28:20Hey.
28:21How you doing?
28:22And our visiting professor stars in the hit show, Castle, Tamela Jones.
28:31Now this week, our class of Lady Boxers have battled their demons and are ready to knock us out.
28:38Now it's time to celebrate.
28:40Let the Draguation commence.
28:42Cynthia arrived, looking like a tomboy and feeling like a loser.
28:46But now she's found the balance between inner lady and outer bruiser.
28:51Ladies and gentlemen, Kayla DeCantor.
29:02People used to mistake me for a guy all the time.
29:05And with the help of Drag U, I am fighting back.
29:08I will be seen as the strong, beautiful, and muscular woman that I am.
29:14I am Kayla.
29:14Hear me roar!
29:18This bitch is turning it out.
29:20I don't see Cynthia anymore.
29:21I see Miss Kayla DeCantor.
29:23Crystal lost her spark and her life was in slow-mo.
29:26Now she's fired up and ready to land a TKO.
29:30Ladies and gentlemen, touche!
29:38Before Drag U, my confidence was knocked out.
29:41My sexy was sucker punched.
29:43But now, thanks to Drag U, I've kicked my sexy back up to full gear.
29:48Touche, bitches!
29:50Touche is working it.
29:54Missy took so much care of others that her energy was all but spent.
29:58But now she's been recharged and she's ready for the main event.
30:02Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Adina Powers!
30:12Sadness had left me depressed.
30:14I forgot about myself.
30:15But Drag U reminded me that I could be it all and I could do it all.
30:19There's a lot of life in me.
30:20I've got the power.
30:22Adina Powers!
30:25Seeing Missy hit the runway made me absolutely blow my wig off my head.
30:31All right, Drag U, it's now begins your oral examination.
30:35Let's start with Kayla Decanter.
30:37What's your favorite part of the outfit?
30:40My attitude.
30:46Now in the Drag Lab, I gave you a choice of two everyday drag looks to wear after a workout.
30:52And here is the after-gym look you selected.
30:56Oh!
30:57Taxi!
30:58Nice!
30:59All right, so, Falconsie, what do we think of Kayla Decanter's drag transformation and attitude adjustment?
31:07The outfit does have a touch of Grace Jones dominatrix chic, but the overall look is very elegant.
31:13I thought it was Tyra Banks coming through the door for a minute.
31:17I was like, I'm floored.
31:18Thank you, Kayla Decanter.
31:21Up next, Touche.
31:23Do you feel sexy?
31:25Oh, yeah.
31:26Do you feel sexy all over?
31:27Oh, all over.
31:30So, who is here to cheer you on?
31:32Touche has got her boyfriend Kevin here.
31:35Oh, baby, you have been there through the hard parts.
31:40And I'm really grateful for you.
31:42Kevin, what do you have to say to Touche?
31:45I'm speechless.
31:46You look amazing.
31:47I felt like I was looking at her old self.
31:49In the Drag Lab, I gave you a choice of two everyday drag looks.
31:54And here's the look you selected.
31:56Oh, wow.
31:58Va, va, va.
31:59Boom.
31:59All right, Falconsie, what do you think of Touche's drag transformation and attitude adjustment?
32:06The thing that really impressed me was your attitude.
32:09I mean, you've got like a natural showgirls movement.
32:13You were giving us some pageant flair.
32:15I thought that Touche, sashay, shantay, all the way down the runway.
32:21You were very flirty.
32:23I loved it.
32:23And thank you Touche.
32:25Thank you, guys.
32:27And last but not least, Adina Powers.
32:30Now, what was the best part of your experience?
32:32Working with Chad Michaels.
32:33He's really helped me to just really find that inner confidence and just, you know, push
32:39everything aside that's been bothering me and really just sell it.
32:42Work this.
32:43In the Drag Lab, I gave you a choice of two everyday drag looks.
32:48And here's the look you selected.
32:50Oh, pretty.
32:51I love that color.
32:52Gorgeous.
32:53You were pumping some J-Lo, if you ask me.
32:56Well, I definitely see the J-Lo, but a little bit tougher.
32:59She put the J-O back in J-Lo.
33:02The way you worked that runway, you had it.
33:05You were like you owned it.
33:07Definitely drag swag.
33:08I love it.
33:09Thank you, Adina Powers.
33:11Ladies, it's time for your final dragxamination, which counts for half of your grade.
33:17So whoever kills it in the group performance could finish at the top of her class.
33:22So don't flunk it up.
33:31Falcatee family friends, tonight our top Draguet will receive a prize package that includes
33:38$1,000 gift certificate from Overstock.com to kickstart her new wardrobe.
33:44Now, as president of Draguet, it is my honor to present the Draguet-ing class of Kayla Decanter, Touche, and
33:53Adina Powers.
33:54Ladies, let them have it.
34:01Everybody grunts her.
34:03Miss sexy in the city.
34:05She's on the prowl.
34:07She rocked this town.
34:09Who's that girl?
34:10A fly ferocious lady.
34:12Get up and dance.
34:14Get up, get up and...
34:15Satisfaction, take back on the runway.
34:19Leave it, leave it, boo.
34:21All the girls say,
34:23Welcome to the jungle.
34:26She's so wild, so animal.
34:29She's gonna work that sexy body so sexual.
34:32She's like a female phenomenon.
34:35She's a glamazon.
34:37Female phenomenon.
34:39A glamazon...
34:40Lady boys and girls, and those who dream to rule the world.
34:44Smell the eyes, her lips, still in alarm.
34:47Now break it down.
34:48Oh, oh, oh, oh.
34:53She's a glamazon.
34:55The girls say,
34:55Sashay Chantay
34:57Have her on the wrong way
34:59Do it, do it, boo
35:01All the boys say
35:03She's so bloody tall
35:04She's so wild, so animal
35:07She don't know what that says
35:09Your body's so sexual
35:11She's like a female phenomenon
35:13Lama-sa-na-na-na-na
35:16Thank you, ladies.
35:23Please wait backstage
35:24While the falcatee decides
35:26Which one of you will draguate
35:28With top honors
35:29You're dismissed
35:38So falcatee
35:40Based on her DPA
35:41What did you think of Kayla Decanter
35:44Lady Bunny
35:45Because she is powerful
35:47There's a precision to every movement
35:49And every pose that she struck
35:51I think she was really careful
35:52About her arms
35:53To where they stiffened up a little bit
35:55More than I wanted her to
35:56She looked like she was really into it
35:58And I love that
35:59Based on her DPA
36:01What did you think of Touché?
36:04She went from passé to Touché
36:06She really had a remarkable transformation
36:08When she did the signature move
36:10She was just a little soft
36:11But she was having so much damn fun
36:14On that stage
36:14That I almost didn't care
36:16She didn't stand out as much as the other two women did
36:19Moving on to Adina Powers
36:22Falcatee, what do you think?
36:23She seemed very shy in the lady lesson
36:25And very outgoing here
36:27I know that her lip sync was a little bit
36:29A little, a little off
36:31I did see a little bit of weakness
36:34In the lip sync
36:34Falcatee, it's time for your decision
36:36I leave it in your capable hands
36:40Draguets
36:40Please report to the main stage
36:42All Draguets
36:43To the main stage
36:45The Falcatee has compiled your final grades
36:49And we have a winner
36:50May I have the envelope, please?
36:56The top Draguet of RuPaul's Dragu is
37:03Adina Powers
37:06The Draguation
37:08I'm super excited
37:10I'm bouncing out of my heels
37:13My little Miss Missy, honey
37:14My little mama
37:15That was a TKO
37:18She wowed me out there
37:19Amazing
37:20I'm so proud of her
37:21I love you
