TVTranscript
00:00:03Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race, you need to use your improv skills in a show we're calling Karen's Gone Wild.
00:00:11I'm getting baited.
00:00:13Get it, get it.
00:00:17Yeah, I got a bad bitch up in here, y'all.
00:00:19Jane, don't.
00:00:21It was so many things that you could have played off with Ru.
00:00:24Oh, I thought you were missing it.
00:00:27Nene Coco.
00:00:27You ran out of steam. It felt like it became the same thing over and over.
00:00:32Mikey Meeks.
00:00:33You just pulled out every last thing you had in your bag of tricks and I bought every single one.
00:00:38Condragulations, you're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:00:42Nene Coco, shantay you stay.
00:00:46Jane, sashay away.
00:01:00We're back in the workroom.
00:01:02Jane has just been eliminated and everyone is devastated.
00:01:08Love you all so much.
00:01:10Thank you for everything.
00:01:12Till we meet again.
00:01:14Love you, love you, love you.
00:01:17There was no reality in which I didn't see Jane making it all the way to the end.
00:01:22And I gave that lip sync everything that I had in my fucking tank, but it's like...
00:01:28I think it just goes to show that this competition, anything can happen.
00:01:31Yeah.
00:01:32Anything and you slayed that lip sync.
00:01:35It hurts to see her go because she was there for us every step of the way.
00:01:41Throughout this whole thing, she's just been my ground.
00:01:44You know, the thing that I could come back to and feel settled.
00:01:52Jane has really helped me a lot.
00:01:55She made me feel that I am worthy to be here.
00:01:59And aside from the competition, these girls are really changing my life.
00:02:07Oh, this is crazy.
00:02:09I know how bad Jane wanted it, but I know how bad I want it too.
00:02:14I know how bad all of us in this room want it.
00:02:16Why am I still here with the three shortest?
00:02:19Yeah.
00:02:20You and your children.
00:02:21Florida couch.
00:02:22Florida couch.
00:02:24Florida versus the world.
00:02:26Congrats, Mike.
00:02:27Congratulations.
00:02:30Whoa.
00:02:31The three win club.
00:02:33Now that the girl who was kind of sweeping, like, she's not here.
00:02:37It's a tight race.
00:02:38Anything can happen.
00:02:39Anybody's fucking game.
00:02:41Holy shit.
00:02:42I just did everybody in this room a favor.
00:02:44Wipe your tears.
00:02:46You can send me a gift basket in the mail.
00:02:48I'm kind of feeling like that bitch.
00:02:52Yes.
00:02:52I know, right?
00:02:53Wait, wait, whoa.
00:02:56There was a shift in the last five minutes.
00:03:00I'm, of course, sad to see Jane go on a personal level, but I'm really starting to feel like I'm
00:03:06coming into my own in this competition, and I feel like I have a real chance of taking this.
00:03:12I can taste it.
00:03:14Country fried steak.
00:03:16I don't know about y'all, but I'm super proud of myself, and I hope my friends are proud of
00:03:21me.
00:03:21I can't wait to tell my mom.
00:03:23I can't wait to tell everybody.
00:03:24So when you tell Morphine to her face that you got farther than her, what is she gonna say?
00:03:31Oh, she's gonna be like, what?
00:03:34Is this it?
00:03:35Are we done?
00:03:35Is it top four?
00:03:36I mean, they've done top three in the past.
00:03:38I think they are going to keep us on our toes.
00:03:42Yeah.
00:03:43Yeah.
00:03:44I love these girls.
00:03:45I really do.
00:03:46But I'm not letting anything get in my way for this finale.
00:03:50If that means I have to take these girls out, I will.
00:03:54Lady Liberty, Rosebud, Pussylock, Piss, and we are in top four.
00:04:07The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly
00:04:13Hills Cosmetics, and a cash prize of $200,000, courtesy of RuPaul's Drag Race Match Queen,
00:04:21with extra special guest judge Tiana Taylor.
00:04:24RuPaul's Drag Race is the best drag queen, the best drag queen, the best drag queen, the best drag queen.
00:04:36It is a new week in the workroom.
00:04:41Top four is strutting in.
00:04:44This is the last week of competition before the finale.
00:04:47At this point, it is an individual game.
00:04:49You have to focus on yourself to get to the end.
00:04:54I feel ready to win and knock each one of you bitches off.
00:05:01You say that, but, you know, you do only have one win, so.
00:05:05Never lip synced?
00:05:06Yeah, Darlene, we haven't seen you lip sync.
00:05:08I wonder what tricks you have in the lip sync bag.
00:05:11Uh, uh, banana.
00:05:16Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:05:18Oh, oh, oh.
00:05:19She's already the hat hers.
00:05:22Hers?
00:05:24Ru rule number 115.
00:05:27Okay.
00:05:27A side ponytail is your best defense against financial ruin.
00:05:35Okay.
00:05:36What's that mean?
00:05:37Not too much.
00:05:38Hello, hello, hello.
00:05:40Hi, Ru.
00:06:01Hi, Ru.
00:06:02We're hosting the eighth and ninth hours of everybody's favorite talk show.
00:06:08Good morning, bitches.
00:06:11Good morning.
00:06:12Okay.
00:06:13Wow.
00:06:14This is the last thing I would have thought we were doing at this point in the competition.
00:06:19It's a team challenge.
00:06:20So, as much as I wanted to rely on myself to get here, we have to lean on each other.
00:06:24We need to collaborate.
00:06:25And that's scary.
00:06:26Now, you'll need to use all of your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent as you juggle host
00:06:33chat, breaking news, celebrity guests, and how-to segments.
00:06:38And get this.
00:06:39You'll be shooting it live.
00:06:43No script, no take twos, no safety net.
00:06:48We couldn't do a music video.
00:06:50We couldn't dance.
00:06:52But you'll be in good hands as you'll be working with your on-set producer, Ross Matthews.
00:07:00Now, in addition to co-hosting your own show, I'd like to invite each of you to be my guest
00:07:07for an extra special one-on-one tic-tac chit-chat.
00:07:11Oh, my God.
00:07:13And last but not least, you need to choose your co-host.
00:07:18Remember, chemistry is key.
00:07:21So choose wisely and choose right now.
00:07:26Oh, shit.
00:07:30This is hard.
00:07:31I don't know if I want to be paired with Juicy because when we did Artier Live,
00:07:36I had to really help her out.
00:07:38And then she won the challenge.
00:07:39So I need to focus on myself.
00:07:42I don't know.
00:07:43I don't know either.
00:07:45We did well with Rusical.
00:07:47We did do well with Rusical.
00:07:48Let's go, Nene.
00:07:49Do you want to do it?
00:07:49Let's do it, baby.
00:07:50We got it.
00:07:51We got it, girl.
00:07:52So our co-hosts are Nene and Juicy and Mikey and Darlene.
00:07:58Racers, start your engine and may the best drag queen win.
00:08:02Woo!
00:08:05Good morning, bitches.
00:08:07Good morning, bitches.
00:08:09Wow.
00:08:10This is not what I was expecting.
00:08:12For the last challenge.
00:08:13For the semifinals.
00:08:14Do you host at all?
00:08:15No.
00:08:16Never.
00:08:20Okay.
00:08:21I do tend to like lean into like the physicality of everything.
00:08:26I'm like way over the top campy expressions and like a bit more goofy.
00:08:31I don't want to be too like too kooky with it.
00:08:34So I think there needs to be some groundedness in what we're doing.
00:08:38We're being judged as a pair and both of us are comedic people.
00:08:42We have different types of comedy though.
00:08:44So my concern is us not meeting in the middle.
00:08:48I'm nervous as fuck.
00:08:50The Juicy Nene show.
00:08:52What does it look like?
00:08:53Mm-hmm.
00:08:54Um, um, we love to wear head coverings.
00:08:59Yeah.
00:08:59We both flip.
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:00Maybe we could like tie that into this somehow.
00:09:03It's not feeling like we're landing on something solid.
00:09:05The idea is just not fully realized.
00:09:08And I'm starting to get nervous.
00:09:12Good morning, bitches.
00:09:14Good morning, bitches.
00:09:16How y'all doing?
00:09:17Pretty good.
00:09:17How about you guys?
00:09:19It's good.
00:09:19We're trying to figure out what type of hosts we are.
00:09:22Yeah.
00:09:22Do y'all feel you're leaning into your actual drag self?
00:09:26Or is it a characterized version of you?
00:09:28A little bit of both.
00:09:30Kathie Lee Gifford was one of my ideas for Snatch Game.
00:09:32Whoa.
00:09:33Yeah.
00:09:33So I'm going to try to channel that energy for this one.
00:09:36What about y'all?
00:09:36We're kind of like playing an exaggerated version of ourselves.
00:09:40Mm.
00:09:40I'm a whore.
00:09:42I'm a whore.
00:09:42She's cuffed up.
00:09:44And we're like a little more cool versus where I feel like you guys are more like Disney Channel.
00:09:50Right.
00:09:51Okay.
00:09:52Juicy says me and Darlene are giving like kids news station because that's all she knows.
00:09:57Juicy, what's Dateline?
00:09:58What's 2020?
00:10:0060 Minutes?
00:10:01You know who Diane Sawyer is?
00:10:04Later today, we will find out how it goes with Juicy and Nini.
00:10:08Will this turn out to be breaking news?
00:10:10Or will we see Nini Coco breaking down?
00:10:20Hello, Nini Coco.
00:10:22Hi, Ru.
00:10:23It's time to have a tic-tac chat with Ru, and this is amazing.
00:10:26This is such a full circle moment.
00:10:28But I mean, I don't know what Ru is doing in this painter's smock.
00:10:32I'm taking a little time to exercise a hobby that I enjoy very much, which is painting.
00:10:39So as you sit there, I will be working on a portrait of you.
00:10:43Okay.
00:10:44You are reviving a pastime of mine.
00:10:46Oh, do you paint?
00:10:46I used to love to paint, yeah.
00:10:48What did you study in college?
00:10:50I studied mechanical engineering.
00:10:52What does a mechanical engineer do?
00:10:55I sit at a computer for eight hours, and I do load calculations, and I-
00:10:59Did you say load?
00:11:00Loads, baby.
00:11:01All kinds of loads.
00:11:03How many loads?
00:11:04You wouldn't believe.
00:11:07I actually design HVAC systems, so the air conditioning and the cooling system.
00:11:11So, a customer says, I need some air conditioning up in this bitch.
00:11:15Yeah.
00:11:15They come to you, and you say, based on the calculations and the square footage of your
00:11:20building, I'm making this up, by the way.
00:11:22You're doing a great job.
00:11:23This is how much air conditioning you're going to need.
00:11:26Absolutely.
00:11:26Is that what it is?
00:11:27Yeah.
00:11:27That's what you've been doing in this competition.
00:11:29You fucking put mechanical engineering on drag.
00:11:31Last week, you did this back flip that had us all gagged.
00:11:37At what point in your engineering career did you figure that out?
00:11:41That was tapping into 12-year-old me.
00:11:43I was the kid on the sidelines of the soccer field doing cartwheels with all the girls,
00:11:48learning from the girls, and then soon enough, I was teaching the girls how to
00:11:51how to do a little backhand.
00:11:53That was pretty amazing.
00:11:55Oh, thank you.
00:11:55The only thing missing in what put you in the bottom last week, it has to do with the humanity.
00:12:01Because you are a hard taskmaster.
00:12:04Every outfit has been gorgeous.
00:12:06The back flips are incredible, to a T, all mapped out.
00:12:10Now add the humanity.
00:12:12Does that ring true for you?
00:12:13I think that's true, is I have to allow myself to be vulnerable.
00:12:16I'm thinking about how to survive in the challenge.
00:12:18I'm forgetting that thing that makes me human.
00:12:21So much of what I do is trying to be polished and perfect.
00:12:26There are so many moments that I've overthought in this competition, and that has held me back.
00:12:30I cannot hold back anymore.
00:12:32Are you ready to see my masterpiece?
00:12:39You know what, Ru?
00:12:41It's horrible.
00:12:44It really is.
00:12:47Juicy.
00:12:48Hi, yeah.
00:12:49Now, did you expect to be here this long?
00:12:52Yes and no.
00:12:54I knew I had to fight my way through to, like, make it this long and to stay here.
00:13:00It's definitely put me to the test.
00:13:01What do you think you're afraid of in showing more vulnerability?
00:13:06The talking of it all and, like, really expressing myself was not something I was,
00:13:10you know, gifted as a child.
00:13:12My father was a bit of a machista, very, like, manly type of man.
00:13:16And he didn't want me to show emotions.
00:13:18He didn't want any femininity from me.
00:13:20And so we stopped talking for six years and I, like, fell off the wagon in my darker moments.
00:13:25I kind of had pushed my self-esteem and my ability to use my voice to the back.
00:13:31I was so afraid to talk to my father again, but he has followed what I've been up to.
00:13:37And I think he learned that there's a respect there and there's an art form.
00:13:42Me and my father rekindled and fixed a relationship.
00:13:45And it was almost like the puzzle pieces fell in place.
00:13:48And I was able to take care of myself again and be healthy again and really love myself.
00:13:56He is super supportive now.
00:13:58I can show him pictures of me in drag and he's like, oh, you look beautiful.
00:14:01It kind of has brought us all together.
00:14:02You know, when I see you dance and I see in the moment you are inspired by the music
00:14:08to do a certain move, that's the key to everything.
00:14:12Your dance is your portal into your deeper self.
00:14:17So you've already got a leg up on the competition there.
00:14:21Yeah.
00:14:21Are you ready to see your portrait?
00:14:24Yes.
00:14:28Oh my God.
00:14:31Stop it.
00:14:34I'm Cuban, so I got a horse member down there.
00:14:40So it's perfect.
00:14:42I don't know why I said that.
00:14:43What else am I supposed to say if you drew me as half horse?
00:14:46I don't know.
00:14:49Hey, Mikey.
00:14:50Hi, Rue.
00:14:51Wow, here you are, top four.
00:14:53I know you're not surprised that you're in the top four.
00:14:56No, I'm not surprised.
00:14:57I came in very confident within myself and I felt like I had proven myself in my own city.
00:15:02I felt a very big fish there.
00:15:04Coming in here and learning, woo, I'm not the only big fish in the ocean.
00:15:09And I don't know, maybe it's the girls got in my head a little bit.
00:15:13You know, they voted me in the talent show.
00:15:15They put me last in Raider Queen.
00:15:17And I felt like I lost a little bit of that power within myself.
00:15:21Right.
00:15:22And from that moment, I faced my biggest fear,
00:15:24which was the chance of going home, knowing I really wanted this.
00:15:28And from that moment on, I said, I can't be in that position again.
00:15:31I'm a nerd, so I like to think of my journey as like a Pokémon evolution.
00:15:35I came as a cutesy, ready to go, anything type of happen girl.
00:15:41I was fighting in battle and I almost lost it and I fully evolved that next week.
00:15:48More powerful, more ready to go.
00:15:51And I feel like my final transformation is coming into this moment.
00:15:54You know, years ago, back in the dark ages, girls would win a challenge.
00:15:58They wouldn't get any money.
00:15:59Right, right.
00:16:00I'm so far leaving with 20K.
00:16:03Oh, dinner's on me, Ru. Dinner's on me.
00:16:06My gosh.
00:16:07Who's going to be most surprised by you being in the top four back home in Orlando?
00:16:13I have a core group of best friends, Jenny, Kyle, Trevor, Evan.
00:16:18Been best friends since college for 12 years now.
00:16:21And we talk every single day.
00:16:22They were there from the first day I started drag to the day I left for the competition.
00:16:26And to know how excited they are going to be for me, the pride they're going to feel.
00:16:35I mean, I'm taking everybody to dinner.
00:16:40Yeah, I'm taking everybody to dinner.
00:16:41All right.
00:16:42Well, that moment of truth is here.
00:16:45Are you ready to see what I've been working on?
00:16:53Whoa!
00:16:54Um, you really captured my tits.
00:17:00Darlene Mitchell.
00:17:01Hello.
00:17:02We've had so much fun with that name.
00:17:04I think Darlene Mitchell works at a diner.
00:17:06Oh, absolutely.
00:17:07I was getting Alice.
00:17:08You know that show?
00:17:09No.
00:17:10A woman called Flo was one of the other waitresses.
00:17:13And Flo's famous line was, kiss my grits.
00:17:16To be honest, if I were a betting man, I would not have bet yet.
00:17:24Be in the top four.
00:17:25And neither would the other girls.
00:17:28Why were the other girls wrong?
00:17:29Why was I wrong?
00:17:30What did you know that we didn't?
00:17:32I feel like a lot of girls really try to like stick to the rules and you got to do
00:17:36this.
00:17:37And I just kind of say to hell with it.
00:17:39That sort of like kiss my grits.
00:17:41I'm going to keep on doing what I do.
00:17:42You know, like we hate those shoes.
00:17:44Please don't ever wear them again.
00:17:45And like to me, what I hear is like, I'm going to wear these over and over happily until we
00:17:51get
00:17:51to a point where you're like, there they are again, like that sort of attitude.
00:17:55Who back home is going to be most surprised that you made it this far?
00:17:59My family is going to be just surprised by what I do in general.
00:18:09For years I couldn't tell my family that I did drag and before I came here I just threw
00:18:14everybody in a group chat and was like, I've been doing drag for 10 years.
00:18:19And I did get responses from family members, but it was not something that they agreed with.
00:18:27You know, I would go home to Indiana and really not be able to talk about what really made me
00:18:32happiest.
00:18:33It was like, well, they don't want to hear about it.
00:18:34So I'll do the favor by not talking about it.
00:18:38I specifically thought it would affect my relationship with my dad.
00:18:43That is a very new relationship.
00:18:45But he responded to me, I hope you're able to reach your goals that you are striving for.
00:18:51I believe in you 100%.
00:18:58And you are in a partnership, are you married?
00:19:01Uh, engaged.
00:19:02Okay.
00:19:03Engaged, yeah.
00:19:04And what does your partner think of Darlena Michel?
00:19:07Yeah, yeah.
00:19:08Uh, he has been my, uh,
00:19:14biggest supporter just in life in general in my sobriety.
00:19:19We actually just celebrated nine years.
00:19:21So I became sober with him because it was worth saving,
00:19:26saving the relationship with him.
00:19:29Yeah, that's beautiful.
00:19:33Yeah, he, he's beautiful.
00:19:36I've been working on your portrait.
00:19:40Wow.
00:19:41The trucker hat, the collared shirt.
00:19:44You got it.
00:19:44Kiss my grits.
00:19:48Good morning, bitches.
00:19:50Good morning, Roz.
00:19:53It's time for me and Juicy to shoot good morning, bitches.
00:19:57Congratulations on making it to the final four.
00:20:00Ru's critiques for me have been you're so prepared that it lacks that vulnerability sometimes.
00:20:06So trying to figure out how to just push through that and just let it go.
00:20:10Be free.
00:20:10Have fun.
00:20:10Get your place.
00:20:11We're almost live.
00:20:12All right.
00:20:12Okay, go.
00:20:13I think Drag Race is all about like overacting.
00:20:15So I know I just have to like go out there and just let loose.
00:20:18We don't have time for nerves right now.
00:20:19In three, two.
00:20:27Hi, everyone, and welcome to Good Morning, Bitches.
00:20:32My name is Nini.
00:20:34And I'm Juicy.
00:20:35And we are here to spill some hot cocoa.
00:20:39And have a whole lot of love.
00:20:41Speaking of a lot of love, Nini, you've been loving the bottom two recently, haven't you?
00:20:45Oh, okay.
00:20:46You are coming in a little bit hot.
00:20:47I have been having a little residency in the bottom two lip sync.
00:20:52But you know what?
00:20:53I feel good about it because you're the only person who's lip synced more than me.
00:20:57Well, okay there.
00:20:58You know, in high school, my superlatives was most likely to bottom.
00:21:02But, you know, it's just how the dice rolls, you know?
00:21:05Yeah.
00:21:05And you know what?
00:21:06You hold up to your namesake and that's all good for me.
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:09Big old bottoms over here, huh?
00:21:15Um, yeah.
00:21:16It is time to get to today's top stories.
00:21:20According to a new survey, Gen Zers are most likely to be in non-monogamous relationships,
00:21:27including throuples.
00:21:28And, you know, I personally know about this because I'm usually the third one invited.
00:21:33And I'm the one inviting her.
00:21:35Yeah.
00:21:38It's a slow warm up.
00:21:40Oh, oh, oh sister.
00:21:42Go to the teleprompter.
00:21:43Breaking news from downtown Tuckahoe.
00:21:45A smash and grab robbery took place at the erotic bakery.
00:21:49Police are baffled by a cryptic message left at the scene that reads,
00:21:53Betty boldly bought some butter, but she said this butter's bitter.
00:21:58If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.
00:22:02Ash, we're getting a live update.
00:22:05A second note was found that continues.
00:22:07So Betty bought a bit of better butter, bizarrely, a bit of bootleg boy butter.
00:22:13She put in her bitter batter and made her bitter batter better.
00:22:17Are you kidding me?
00:22:18Rule, rule number one.
00:22:21Don't buy butter.
00:22:22Don't buy butter.
00:22:23All right.
00:22:23Well, now that we're done breaking news, we're about to have a sit down interview with a man who's
00:22:29breaking hearts.
00:22:32Zane Phillips is coming up after the break.
00:22:35Stay tuned.
00:22:39Welcome back, bitches.
00:22:41It's going to get loose with Gay Heartthrob, the actor most likely to play Hercules and real-life
00:22:47statue of David.
00:22:48Zane Phillips is in the building.
00:22:50What happened to the sleeves of your shirt?
00:22:52Is everything okay?
00:22:53Um, you know, I just, uh, I just needed the freedom of movement.
00:22:57Oh, you just busted out of them, didn't you?
00:22:59Yeah, it was just a little bit, you know, sometimes you're reaching for that top shelf,
00:23:02and, uh, it's, it's, it's not good to be encumbered.
00:23:05So, you know a lot about topping, I mean, top shelves, don't you?
00:23:09I have heard you are a big baker.
00:23:12Tell us about that.
00:23:12Oh, my God.
00:23:13Well, it's a nice way of getting relaxed and, and enjoying myself.
00:23:17And sometimes I go a little overboard, but speaking of going a little overboard,
00:23:22we have some pictures here of some of the things you've baked.
00:23:26So that's a carrot cake that I made.
00:23:29Wow.
00:23:29And those are, those are peeled, carrot peels that you then candy.
00:23:33And so they're, they're stiff and sweet.
00:23:34So you can just like on them afterwards.
00:23:36So would you consider yourself a bit of a master baker?
00:23:39Yes.
00:23:41How about master bader?
00:23:42Oh, or is that for the late night show?
00:23:43That's for the late night show, isn't it?
00:23:45We're seeing a lot of sugar over here.
00:23:46Yeah, uh-huh.
00:23:47How do you stay in shape with all this baking?
00:23:49For me, I basically cook up a bucket of turkey and a bucket of beef.
00:23:54And then over the course of the week, I'm scooping it out
00:23:56and having it with rice and sweet potatoes.
00:23:59It's, it's pretty boring.
00:24:00Is ass off the table?
00:24:02Is ass off the table?
00:24:03Is it, is it one of the, is it in the food pyramid?
00:24:04Well, I should, I should hope it's not on the table, you know?
00:24:06It's, it's not very sanitary.
00:24:08Yeah.
00:24:08Well, that's a lot of fun though.
00:24:11So, we have a couple more questions for you.
00:24:13Ross is over there waving his arm, telling us to wrap it up.
00:24:16And Juicy's still trying to get through some of the questions that we had.
00:24:19We've got to get it together.
00:24:20What's your favorite body part on another man?
00:24:22Oh, on another man.
00:24:24That's a very good question.
00:24:25I'll tell you mine.
00:24:26It's a strong backside.
00:24:28You know what, okay, and on that note, we are at time when we come back.
00:24:35We'll teach this super-sized twonk how to work out like twinks.
00:24:40Okay.
00:24:40We'll be back in a few.
00:24:45Welcome back, bitches.
00:24:47Now it's time to put this master baker to the test and see if thick thighs do save lives.
00:24:53Bring out Zayn Phillips.
00:24:58Oh, oh, my goodness.
00:25:00My God, you look so comfortable.
00:25:02I feel like we have to get more comfortable too.
00:25:03I think so too.
00:25:04Oh, yeah.
00:25:04Oh, my goodness.
00:25:05We're getting just reveals on set.
00:25:07Yep, yep.
00:25:08Both Juicy and I are high-energy physical divas.
00:25:11So, this is right in our element.
00:25:12We're going to get on the floor.
00:25:14We're going to get right on our sides, all right?
00:25:16And we're just going to get a real nice extension there.
00:25:21Woo!
00:25:22So, you would say this is good for if you want to crush a watermelon or say...
00:25:27Or my head.
00:25:28And let me just see if you're getting it correct.
00:25:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:25:30Just keep going.
00:25:31You can just keep going.
00:25:32Mm-hmm.
00:25:33Yeah, watch my form.
00:25:34Mm-hmm.
00:25:35Yeah, and if I just put my...
00:25:36Oh, yep.
00:25:37And it should just fit just like that.
00:25:39There you go, yeah.
00:25:40You see, you're just stopping at a certain point.
00:25:42If she's playing the horny one, she's doing a good job.
00:25:45But it kind of feels like an uncomfortable direction to take this.
00:25:49Well, we want to try one final exercise.
00:25:52Yeah.
00:25:52This is called the jiggletron, but for twinks.
00:25:56A little arm around.
00:25:57All right, all right.
00:25:58The side like this.
00:25:59Uh-huh.
00:25:59Okay.
00:25:59And you just kind of jiggle.
00:26:00Ooh!
00:26:01Oh!
00:26:02Oh!
00:26:02Yeah!
00:26:02I think you're doing a great, great job.
00:26:04Okay, that was our show for today, guys.
00:26:07Thank you so much.
00:26:09We hope you had a lot of time.
00:26:11This has been the eighth hour of...
00:26:13Good morning, bitches!
00:26:16Oh!
00:26:16All right, use the music!
00:26:24Wow.
00:26:25Okay, ladies, that's a wrap.
00:26:26Me and Nini gave it our all, and we had a lot of fun.
00:26:29I lost a couple of nails doing that.
00:26:31That's what you know.
00:26:31It was a fun experience.
00:26:32But we still don't know how the other team's gonna do, so...
00:26:35I'm just hoping Darlene and Mikey are parallel.
00:26:42Good morning, bitches!
00:26:44Good morning, bitch!
00:26:46It's time for me and my co-host Mikey to shoot Good Morning Bitches.
00:26:50Places, places, we're almost live.
00:26:52I'm naturally just like a little bit nervous.
00:26:54This is the last challenge.
00:26:55What's my character?
00:26:56What's da-da-da-da-da?
00:26:57So like, as long as me and Mikey have each other's backs and we can kind of, you know,
00:27:01steer each other, then it'll be good.
00:27:03In three, two...
00:27:13Hey, the kids are still at school.
00:27:16And I hope that coffee is still steaming like a motherfucker.
00:27:20So welcome to the ninth hour of Good Morning Bitches!
00:27:25We are your host, Mikey Meeks.
00:27:28And I'm Darlene Mitchell.
00:27:29So come join us for some quality...
00:27:31Girls time!
00:27:33It is a gorgeous Wednesday and we hope you've had a fabulous week.
00:27:38Halfway through the week and it's an improvement for me because my tuck has only popped eight times!
00:27:43It's an improvement!
00:27:44We're meeting goals, honey.
00:27:45We're meeting goals.
00:27:46Well, hey, this is a party and you're invited.
00:27:49So we have some viewer mail in the spot today.
00:27:52My friend is about to get married.
00:27:54I know for a fact her fiancé is cheating on her.
00:27:59What should I do?
00:28:00Signed, always a bridesmaid.
00:28:02Listen, sweetie.
00:28:03You're gonna need a tarp and an ax.
00:28:06Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:28:07I can't say that on television.
00:28:09Listen, if you know that your best friend's husband is cheating on her and you have the proof,
00:28:15you better let that motherfucker have it.
00:28:18Can I say mother on television?
00:28:21I did.
00:28:23Oh, oh, breaking news for us.
00:28:25Breaking news!
00:28:26Breaking news.
00:28:26This just in from the trial of Sally Spreadham, accused of heading up a beachside prostitution ring.
00:28:33A key witness for the defense denies Sally's involvement, claiming, quote,
00:28:38Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
00:28:41Baby, this is a set up.
00:28:43This is, don't let them get you, girl.
00:28:46She sells seashells by the seashell shore.
00:28:51Fitting on me.
00:28:52The seashells, seashore shells.
00:28:54I'm sure.
00:28:56Woo, that was fun.
00:28:57But in a heated rebuttal, prosecutors fired back.
00:29:02Sally.
00:29:02God damn.
00:29:03Sally does not sell seashells by the seashore.
00:29:06The seashells she sells are not seashore shells, I'm sure.
00:29:09In fact, seashore Sally is a whore.
00:29:11Oh, strong words.
00:29:13The tongue twister was a lot, but this tongue is very talented.
00:29:17Oh, God, Mikey.
00:29:18Disgusting.
00:29:19Can you believe that?
00:29:21I'm selling seashells by the seashore and she sold them.
00:29:25Spit on me one more time.
00:29:27Spit on me one more time, yeah.
00:29:30Up next, actor Zane Phillips joins us for an exclusive interview.
00:29:34So stick around.
00:29:39Oh, Zane Phillips.
00:29:41Hi.
00:29:43Hi.
00:29:43You look so good.
00:29:44I love this outfit, honey.
00:29:46Thank you, thank you.
00:29:47You know, I'm sort of in my bad girl era.
00:29:48Ooh.
00:29:48It's nine.
00:29:49I'm a bad girl now.
00:29:50Let them have it.
00:29:51Yeah, I love it.
00:29:52Well, let's get straight to the point, okay?
00:29:54Mid-century modern.
00:29:56Tell us about kissing Matt Bomer.
00:29:59All right, right into it.
00:30:00Yeah.
00:30:00I want to know.
00:30:01Well, first of all, we taped that episode on election night.
00:30:05Ooh.
00:30:05And so when I say that I don't have a single memory of what happened that night,
00:30:11we were all just in a different place.
00:30:13Of course.
00:30:13So yeah, I wish I remembered more.
00:30:15That's all I'll say.
00:30:16So for all you know, you got to kiss Nathan Lane.
00:30:20Wouldn't we all be so lucky?
00:30:21We'd be so lucky.
00:30:22He's one of my favorites.
00:30:23So the people want to know, are you single or taken?
00:30:27And if you're taken, are you open?
00:30:31Well, as you remember from the island, you know, I left with a couple boys and one of them is
00:30:36actually my boyfriend for Gutierrez.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30:39Did you want to know that?
00:30:41Well, I'm not following him after this, I guess.
00:30:44I, you know, I'm not really too familiar with the world of drag,
00:30:48but when was the first time that you saw a drag queen?
00:30:51Okay, so they were, I was thinking about this.
00:30:53Please don't let this be the first time.
00:30:55Can you imagine?
00:30:57Yeah, girl.
00:30:58I mean, listen, we could do worse than breakfast Mickey Mouse.
00:31:01Oh, drag me!
00:31:03Drag me!
00:31:05Yep, accurate.
00:31:07Have you done drag yourself?
00:31:09So, so I did a show called Glamorous, but I didn't, I didn't feel like I got the full experience
00:31:13because they put me in this little kitten heel and I was like, y'all, I got strong ankles.
00:31:17I feel like I can handle this.
00:31:19And our director was like, no, no, no, we can't have any injuries.
00:31:21Well, that's funny you say that.
00:31:22We're two queens who are known for their shoe game very well.
00:31:25I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm looking right here.
00:31:28I know.
00:31:29So how do you feel if we gave you a drag transformation?
00:31:32I'm scared and excited.
00:31:34Oh, we're so excited.
00:31:34Let's do it.
00:31:35That's exactly how you should feel.
00:31:36I love it.
00:31:37Well, when we come back, we'll have a new queen in the building, y'all.
00:31:43Oh, I'm so excited.
00:31:45I'm so excited.
00:31:48Hey, fill that coffee cup with something fun
00:31:51because the party is about to start.
00:31:54Come on out, Miss Zane.
00:31:56Give me the boots.
00:31:58Oh, hello to you.
00:32:01Oh, there she is.
00:32:03Whoa, Miss Zane, how are you feeling, honey?
00:32:06I am feeling hunty boots right now, mom.
00:32:09As you should.
00:32:10So you look the part and you talk the talk, but honey,
00:32:13can you walk the walk?
00:32:15I'm ready, let's go.
00:32:16You seem like a silly girl.
00:32:17Yeah, yeah, I am a silly girl.
00:32:18I call this one the backyard barbecue.
00:32:20Okay.
00:32:21So first you show up, you're excited to be there.
00:32:25And I need you to make eye contact with that pulled pork.
00:32:28And at that point, you see it, you see it, you get here.
00:32:33And then I need you to eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it.
00:32:36And when you leave the joint, you are full.
00:32:39Mm-hmm.
00:32:40Okay.
00:32:40You are full, honey.
00:32:43You are full.
00:32:45Get a look at that pulled pork one more time.
00:32:48I couldn't have asked for a better partner for this one.
00:32:50When Darlene's on, she's on.
00:32:52Smelling.
00:32:53Is that pulled pork?
00:32:55And you're hungry.
00:32:56And you're hungry.
00:32:57You won that pulled pork.
00:32:59You better eat it.
00:33:01Oh, too much.
00:33:02And you ate.
00:33:03It was too much.
00:33:04And you ate.
00:33:05But give him one more look.
00:33:06And you're full.
00:33:06Pull pork.
00:33:07There we go.
00:33:10That is our time.
00:33:12Today has certainly been a drag.
00:33:14Thank you to Ms. Zane and our viewers at home.
00:33:17Until next time, good morning, bitches.
00:33:24We just killed that?
00:33:26I think we killed that.
00:33:29I lost my win.
00:33:30I lost my win.
00:33:31This is our last challenge before the finale.
00:33:33And to have this feeling of like, damn,
00:33:35we just did that is phenomenal.
00:33:40Woo.
00:33:42Last day.
00:33:43We did it.
00:33:44Oh.
00:33:45Good morning, bitches.
00:33:47It is our last day in the workroom.
00:33:50Girls, let's take it in one.
00:33:51Yay.
00:33:52Oh my god.
00:33:54We bow to you, mother.
00:33:55We bow to you.
00:33:56Mother Rue.
00:33:56Mother Rue.
00:33:57Let's get into drag, y'all.
00:33:59I'm feeling so sentimental.
00:34:01I love these girls so much.
00:34:02I love this workroom so much.
00:34:06My last trip.
00:34:07Come on, girlie.
00:34:08The last voyage.
00:34:11We've got one last elimination.
00:34:13And there's only four of us in this room.
00:34:15So it's almost too much for my brain to handle to think that one of us
00:34:19has made it this far and is about to get the chop.
00:34:23That's scary.
00:34:25Damn.
00:34:26We've seen every challenge.
00:34:28Every challenge.
00:34:29Y'all have a favorite one to look back on?
00:34:31I feel like what got me on the right track was the roast.
00:34:35Gross.
00:34:36Banana.
00:34:38What the hell?
00:34:40One night with Darlene.
00:34:41That was just like, I'm here and I have a shot.
00:34:44I was dreading Snatch Game.
00:34:47And then to fucking win?
00:34:49Who cares about the wedding?
00:34:51Let's breed, baby.
00:34:54And I was like, okay, wait.
00:34:55I'm doing something right.
00:34:56This is good.
00:34:56I think the Rusical was my favorite.
00:34:58Maybe.
00:35:01That was just a blast.
00:35:02Yeah.
00:35:02I know I could hold a tune, but I was so hard on myself saying,
00:35:06yeah, you can't do that.
00:35:07People are better at that.
00:35:08You can't do it.
00:35:09I have to be celebrated for it.
00:35:11I mean, it's cliche.
00:35:12I literally found my voice.
00:35:13It's single coming out soon.
00:35:15Okay.
00:35:16What was your favorite challenge, Juice?
00:35:18I love them all.
00:35:19Well, you slayed a few of them.
00:35:21You won RDR Live.
00:35:22Two words.
00:35:23Boob job.
00:35:25I did.
00:35:26The talent show was a lot of fun.
00:35:27I mean, that's like what I do, you know?
00:35:29That was my bread and butter.
00:35:30But honestly, this competition like really pushes you to try new things.
00:35:34One of the biggest moments for me in this competition was when Ru asked me,
00:35:38who are you?
00:35:39At this point in the competition, we need to see you.
00:35:42Like, who are you?
00:35:45There's a lot of pressure for me to just do what's expected of me.
00:35:48I feel like I had to go through all of these range of emotions.
00:35:52And now I know that I'm capable of so much more than just lip syncing and performing.
00:36:00What was everyone's first impression of each other?
00:36:02When you walked in the door, I go, oh, she's going to be fierce.
00:36:06Okay.
00:36:07And then as the competition went on, you just like exploded.
00:36:10And I just see you stand in that stardom.
00:36:14Oh, thank you, Nini.
00:36:16I love you.
00:36:17When I saw you at the table, I went, damn it.
00:36:19Like, this queen is fierce.
00:36:22You were just like locked into competition mode like day one.
00:36:27And I'm like, well, don't get close to that one because you know, like she's locked in.
00:36:32It was just like, oh my God, I'm so different from this girl.
00:36:36And now I literally like wrote in my journal a few nights ago that like our relationship
00:36:40that we have built is probably the most surprising and I feel like it's very rewarding.
00:36:46It is kind of hard for me to hear that because like in my head, I was thinking about survival.
00:36:53Even in the challenges where I felt so strong, I just was like, I'm going home.
00:36:57And I feel like that was causing me to shrink into myself.
00:37:00And as the weeks went on, I did look around the room and I was like, is it me?
00:37:04Am I the one that's not doing the work to connect with these people?
00:37:08And I think the answer was yes.
00:37:09I never saw myself that way, but looking back, I totally see it.
00:37:15And I feel like this sheds a lot of light on why it was hard for me to connect.
00:37:19It's been an honor to see you grow into this like beautiful person and become a butterfly.
00:37:25Okay. Well, the insect thing, we're done with it. It's over.
00:37:31And Darlene. Darlene. Corny.
00:37:34She's corny.
00:37:35I didn't understand you when I first saw you walk in.
00:37:38And now I understand you even less.
00:37:40Yeah.
00:37:42You're fucking unique, bitch.
00:37:43I thought you were an early O. I was like, oh, she's not going to last too long.
00:37:47And then, bitch, did you prove me wrong?
00:37:49You went from underdog to top dog in this competition.
00:37:52Like, you have made me a full convert of Darlene Mitchell.
00:37:56Aww.
00:37:57And then there's Juicy.
00:37:59Your reputation preceded you coming into this.
00:38:02Oh, yeah.
00:38:02Seeing you here, I was like, damn it, damn it, damn it.
00:38:04This girl is too severe.
00:38:06And it turns out you're nice, which is the worst part about it all, too.
00:38:11I remember just not wanting to even like look in her direction or make eye contact,
00:38:15because like, ooh, this bitch is about to be so spicy.
00:38:17And I was like, ooh, don't look over there.
00:38:19She'll chew you up.
00:38:20And then it was the exact opposite.
00:38:22You're like one of the first people that I feel like I really called a close, close friend.
00:38:28It's nice to know that the girls got a different view of me once they got to know me,
00:38:34because I do feel as though I am a very kind and sweet person.
00:38:38And I do have a lot of insecurities that I may not show while I'm performing.
00:38:42So it's a reminder that everyone has their own story.
00:38:47And we have to be empathetic to each other.
00:38:49Getting to know all of you has been the biggest joy of this.
00:38:53This is a sisterhood.
00:38:54Season 18 is a sisterhood.
00:38:56We can get through anything together.
00:38:59What are you doing, man?
00:39:00This is family for life now.
00:39:03Well, girls, today is elimination day.
00:39:06Today there will be a winner and there will be someone going home.
00:39:10That's very scary to think about.
00:39:13Terrifying to think about.
00:39:15The finale is right there.
00:39:18It is so, so close.
00:39:20I do not want any of us to have to pack our bags at this point.
00:39:25You got to really bring in this last one.
00:39:26You got to bring it, babes.
00:39:27All gas, no brakes.
00:39:29All gas, no brakes.
00:39:45Have a girl, put the bass in your walk.
00:39:49Head to toe, let your whole body chop.
00:39:54Ice queens.
00:39:55Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:39:58She's no stranger to a Hot Topic.
00:40:01It's Michelle Visage.
00:40:03I'm good with Hot Topic, Contempo Casuals, and Wet Seal.
00:40:07All of them.
00:40:09He's always willing to host is Ross Matthews.
00:40:13Oh, well, yeah, you know me.
00:40:14I love to pee and pee.
00:40:17Really?
00:40:18Pizza and pajamas.
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:20You're all invited to my place.
00:40:22And the multi-talented Tiana Taylor.
00:40:25Welcome.
00:40:26Good morning, bitches.
00:40:27Happy to be here.
00:40:29This week, we challenged our top four queens to sweet talk us as chat show co-hosts.
00:40:36And tonight on the runway, category is drag excellence.
00:40:40Racers, start your engines.
00:40:42And may the best drag queen win.
00:40:49Category is drag excellence.
00:40:52Up first, Juicy Love Dion.
00:40:56Yes, golden child.
00:40:58I have this Cuban immigrant fire inside of me.
00:41:02So I have chosen to wear a look that represents a story of rags to riches.
00:41:09This outfit is distressed fabric with gold hanging off of it as a representation of Havana,
00:41:15Cuba that is disintegrating and crumbling as time goes by.
00:41:19But there's still so much beauty there if you look deep enough.
00:41:23It's a little reminiscent of Morphean's chain look.
00:41:26So it's nice to pay homage to my drag mother in this way also.
00:41:30The creature from the gold dragoon.
00:41:33Her head deserves a gold medal.
00:41:38Nene Coco.
00:41:39Ooh, she is spiked.
00:41:42I'd like to have a pointed conversation about your boobs.
00:41:45This eleganza look combines everything about myself as an engineer and a drag queen.
00:41:50It's technical, structural, engineered, but it's also fluid and creative.
00:41:56I hand-painted the entire gown.
00:41:59I rhinestoned every inch of it.
00:42:02It has my signature spiked shoulder.
00:42:05I am commanding the runway, and you cannot look away.
00:42:10The Tatas are taking me on a journey, girl.
00:42:12Come on, pointer sister.
00:42:16Mikey Meeks.
00:42:17Mikey is putting the ass in astrology.
00:42:21Mikey Meeks stars in her trademark film, The Meeks Shall Inherit the Earth.
00:42:25Well, I already feel like I've done that.
00:42:27So I want the whole universe.
00:42:29The gown fits to perfection.
00:42:32This blue velvet is radiating on stage with all these beaded appliques of planets and stars.
00:42:38And the hair is updo like pageant perfection.
00:42:41I feel out of this world.
00:42:42I feel next level.
00:42:44I know this is a showstopper.
00:42:45And to see the smile on the judge's face as I walk this runway, I'll never forget it.
00:42:50She loves the Milky Way.
00:42:53She also loves the Big Bang, don't you, Mikey?
00:42:59Darlene Mitchell.
00:43:18Darlene Mitchell.
00:43:37Darlene Mitchell.
00:43:38Darlene Mitchell.
00:43:40Darlene Mitchell.
00:43:59Darlene Mitchell.
00:44:00Oh, my dear.
00:44:00You had a chemistry.
00:44:02However, Juicy, there's something I want you to think about when you do these shows is
00:44:07not everything has to go to sex or dirty.
00:44:10How about masturbator?
00:44:12Because I think drag queens as general, that's where our minds live, honey.
00:44:16We live in the gutter.
00:44:17But in certain situations, I think the challenge is to take it beyond that.
00:44:22You came to that set prepared.
00:44:25High school, my superlatives was most likely the bottom.
00:44:27You had a bunch of things you knew you wanted to get to.
00:44:29What happened is that it felt a little pre-written.
00:44:32It didn't feel like you were in the moment.
00:44:34I think it probably can also be anxiety as well, just wanting to have it right.
00:44:39Sometimes you've got to just, like, let loose and just be you.
00:44:42Yeah, because the thing about morning television is at that hour in the morning,
00:44:46people are very vulnerable.
00:44:48They want friendship.
00:44:49And so it felt at times that you were sort of putting on an affectation.
00:44:55All right, let's talk about the runway.
00:44:57I love the gold chains.
00:44:59It reminds me of a wise old tree.
00:45:02It's avant-garde.
00:45:03Bitch, you look fab.
00:45:05If I was walking through the woods, your tree would be the tree I want to bark on.
00:45:10She's peeing gold.
00:45:10If I chop her down, she's shitting gold.
00:45:12Like, it's mother tree.
00:45:15I'm here for it.
00:45:16Up next, Nene Coco.
00:45:18I want to start with this look, because this look is a wow.
00:45:21Did you make this one?
00:45:23I did.
00:45:23Nene, this is so fun.
00:45:25I love that you carried it up to your hair.
00:45:28I mean, like, fucking chef kiss from head to toe.
00:45:32Honey, if you wore this to the BET Awards, you would be the talk of the town.
00:45:37Yes.
00:45:38To the Source Awards.
00:45:39That's the Source Awards.
00:45:41Source Awards.
00:45:43As soon as you're off this stage, I need that up off you.
00:45:47I need that up off you.
00:45:49Let's talk about the challenge.
00:45:50It wasn't authentic.
00:45:52Yeah.
00:45:52It felt pre-rehearsed.
00:45:54And it should always feel like a couple people have Nakiki.
00:45:58I almost felt like you were holding back.
00:46:00You overthink.
00:46:01So you stayed exactly where you envisioned yourself being the whole time.
00:46:06Instead of allowing us to have some more fun with you.
00:46:09It's understandable.
00:46:10Because you've got to trust that you're not going to drop the ball.
00:46:13But you two don't drop balls.
00:46:16I wish this energy and this dress was what you were on that show.
00:46:22Mikey Meeks.
00:46:24Good morning, bitch.
00:46:25You're coming for my day job.
00:46:27Hi.
00:46:29You and Darlene together.
00:46:30It was so funny and so relatable.
00:46:34And it really did feel like a kiki.
00:46:36Like, we need to hang out.
00:46:37That was a lot of fun.
00:46:38Call me up, Ms. Tiana.
00:46:40You and Darlene had wonderful chemistry.
00:46:43But you still had your individuality, which made it wonderful.
00:46:47This is a show I would watch constantly on loop.
00:46:51I want to see this show.
00:46:53I think this look is out of this world.
00:46:54Yeah, it is.
00:46:55You look like a movie star.
00:46:58This is spectacular.
00:46:59I maybe would have judged up that wire a little bit more.
00:47:03I probably would have even went, like, fish wire.
00:47:05Like, some type of more invisible wire.
00:47:08But I think you look amazing.
00:47:10Up next, Darlene Mitchell.
00:47:13I want to tell you the truth, okay?
00:47:14You should never be allowed on daytime television.
00:47:21Because everything you did in the challenge was incorrect.
00:47:28I hope that coffee is still steaming like a motherfucker.
00:47:32In a world where we've seen everything, you're giving us things we've never seen before.
00:47:37That's not just hard to do.
00:47:40It's nearly impossible.
00:47:42You just have it factor.
00:47:44I see you and I'm, like, happy and I'm laughing.
00:47:47This look tonight, too, is beautiful.
00:47:50It's an homage to the past, but it feels very now.
00:47:53It feels even tomorrow.
00:47:54It's like, for you to walk out and give, like, vintage cunt, like, vintage diva, uh, bitch, how to live.
00:48:04Because it was soft and cunt and pussy.
00:48:08Now, when we spoke yesterday, we talked a little bit about your sobriety.
00:48:13And I know firsthand how, how, when you take the time to live in your skin and to, to honor
00:48:24that, what can happen?
00:48:26You know, in my lifetime, this would not, I wouldn't be sitting here had I not found that place, you
00:48:32know?
00:48:32And, and watching you in this competition, confidence wasn't there at the beginning.
00:48:37But we see you get it and live in your skin.
00:48:40And it is what this life is all about.
00:48:44I appreciate that.
00:48:46All right.
00:48:46While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
00:48:52Just between us squirrel friends, I want to know what do you think?
00:48:55Starting with Juicy Love.
00:48:57Juicy is amazing.
00:48:59For dance, 10.
00:49:01For looks, 10.
00:49:02For life experiences, maybe like a five.
00:49:07And I think that's kind of what's holding Juicy back.
00:49:10She was pretending to be a talk show host.
00:49:13She wasn't being her authentic self, which is what really morning television is all about.
00:49:18For me, Juicy's runway was the weakest because there was a lot going on.
00:49:22You thought it was a gold tree taking a shit or something.
00:49:25Oh my God.
00:49:27I don't know.
00:49:27I didn't say I was shit on her tree.
00:49:29You said something about it.
00:49:30I didn't say I was shit on her tree, girl.
00:49:31You said if you cut her down, she'd take a gold shit or something.
00:49:34You can roll the tape.
00:49:35You know, the most beautiful things will come out of her tree.
00:49:38I'm never going to get mad at a golden shit, okay?
00:49:40Just so you know.
00:49:41Baby got a face though.
00:49:42Yeah.
00:49:43Listen, this is a great kid.
00:49:44This kid is smart, is beautiful, knows everything, but she needs to cook a little bit longer.
00:49:51Nene Coco.
00:49:52Nene should have knocked this out of the park.
00:49:54I don't know what tripped her up so much.
00:49:57I think she's in her head a little bit.
00:49:58But now is not the time to be in your head.
00:50:01But her in this competition has been incredible.
00:50:04She came out of the box with the first design challenge.
00:50:07And then, of course, Sir David Attenborough was so funny.
00:50:10And also, who else could have sent Jane Doont home?
00:50:14And then tonight on the runway, wow.
00:50:16The dress, I already told y'all I'm not leaving this set without it.
00:50:19So you bitches don't tell me nothing when I take it.
00:50:22There you go.
00:50:23I'll be at the source award.
00:50:24Bring him back.
00:50:25Mikey Meeks.
00:50:26Mikey is a star.
00:50:28Just her outfit alone in the challenge was perfect.
00:50:32I'm telling you right now, there was a local news anchor wearing that outfit.
00:50:36Right away, I understood who her character was.
00:50:39And her and Darlene together were wonderful.
00:50:42Yes.
00:50:43And she performed with such an ease.
00:50:46She has shown us that she's able to deliver these characters like Drew Barrymore.
00:50:50And in the Karens challenge, she has been getting stronger and stronger at the right time.
00:50:55On that runway tonight, what a fun spin on glamour.
00:51:00You know, it had a little cheekiness, but it was glamour through and through.
00:51:04She could have done without the wire and still ate.
00:51:08I love me some Mikey.
00:51:10Darlene Mitchell.
00:51:11Mikey walked so Darlene could run.
00:51:16There has to be a foil in the duo.
00:51:19And Darlene was it.
00:51:21The moment she popped up on Good Morning Bitches, I was happy.
00:51:25We've seen some extraordinary queens come here, but there's something blocking them.
00:51:29And usually it's something internal, right?
00:51:31So to see somebody figure it out and apply it in real time is magical.
00:51:35And then to come out here tonight with those fucking shoes on, I have been reading this
00:51:41bitch the entire competition for those shoes.
00:51:43It's been the ongoing joke.
00:51:45And that just goes to show you what kind of sense of humor that she has that she wears
00:51:49this glorious 1970s Halston cut dress and then comes out here with them Hollywood Boulevard
00:51:55janky ass shoes.
00:51:57And she knows it.
00:51:58She is an inspiration for anybody out there.
00:52:01You know how water finds its correct level?
00:52:04Well, Darlene has done that in this competition.
00:52:07I just would like to add one more thing.
00:52:08Yes.
00:52:09I would like to give you all y'all flowers.
00:52:12The way y'all love on these queens, the way y'all speak life into them is so important
00:52:18because honestly, they wouldn't be able to tell their stories without judges like you.
00:52:22It's very kind.
00:52:23The most important thing that you all give is love.
00:52:27All right.
00:52:28Silence.
00:52:29I've made my decision.
00:52:31Bring back my girls.
00:52:34Welcome back, queens.
00:52:35I've made some decisions.
00:52:39Mikey Meeks.
00:52:41Darlene Mitchell.
00:52:43This week, you both gave us something to talk about.
00:52:51Mikey Meeks.
00:52:54And Darlene Mitchell.
00:52:56Congratulations.
00:52:57You are both the winners of this week's Maxi Challenge.
00:53:01Four wins.
00:53:03Three of those back to back to back on the last challenge.
00:53:05You cannot tell me anything right now.
00:53:09Girl style.
00:53:09Girl style.
00:53:11And you've each earned a cash tip of $2,500.
00:53:16Thank you so much.
00:53:19And most importantly, you are moving forward to the grand finale.
00:53:24What?
00:53:27Wow.
00:53:28Winning the final challenge, making it to the finale without ever lip syncing.
00:53:32These are like the girls that when I used to watch this show that I would be like, oh, she
00:53:36is an icon.
00:53:37Like, she is on fire.
00:53:38And I'm like, I'm the icon?
00:53:41Okay.
00:53:42Thank you so much.
00:53:43I'm going to make you proud.
00:53:45Good job.
00:53:46Mikey Meeks is in the finale.
00:53:49It's unreal.
00:53:50I am so proud of myself.
00:53:52I'm so proud of Darlene.
00:53:54We are doing it.
00:53:58Juicy Love Dion, Nene Coco, throughout this competition, you've both delivered gag-worthy moments.
00:54:07But based on this week's challenge, I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for eliminations.
00:54:18I'm so disappointed in myself.
00:54:23Juicy is a spectacular lip syncer, but I know what I have to do.
00:54:29I am so close.
00:54:30This cannot end now.
00:54:31Two queens stand before me.
00:54:34Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
00:54:45The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:54:59My heart's pumping.
00:55:01The adrenaline's rushing through my veins because I know I have to leave it all on the floor.
00:55:07This is my last chance to make it to the finale.
00:55:11Good luck.
00:55:13And don't fuck it up.
00:55:17You know what they say.
00:55:18Never waste a Friday night on a first date.
00:55:21But there I was.
00:55:22In my heels with my hair straight.
00:55:25And so I took him to this bar.
00:55:27This man wouldn't dance.
00:55:29He didn't ask a single question.
00:55:31And he was wearing these fuckly jeans.
00:55:34It doesn't matter though.
00:55:36He doesn't have what it takes to be with a girl like me.
00:55:39Not overdramatic.
00:55:46I know what I want.
00:55:51We'll defend the planet and you can't come.
00:55:54I'm high, I'm through.
00:55:58With all this ain't been begging by my boys like you.
00:56:03Oh, yeah.
00:56:04Dale, dale.
00:56:05I need a super graphic on a girl like me.
00:56:10Say hi.
00:56:12We're talking.
00:56:13Wow.
00:56:14Look at it, mommy, baby.
00:56:16She's my one.
00:56:18Oh, yeah.
00:56:19I need a super graphic on a girl.
00:56:23Nene is doing her best being in a restricting gal.
00:56:27She's delivering the essence of the song.
00:56:32Meanwhile, Circus Soleil with Juicy is doing a lot of tricks.
00:56:37I don't want to see either of them go.
00:56:39Camera touch, camera touch, camera touch.
00:56:41Camera, you're a star.
00:56:42Oh, oh, oh.
00:56:44I'm through.
00:56:45With all these ain't been naked by my boys like you.
00:56:50Oh, yeah.
00:56:51I need, I need someone.
00:56:54I need someone.
00:56:55You're driving for life, baby.
00:56:58I need, I need to.
00:57:00I need, I need to.
00:57:01I need to.
00:57:02I need someone.
00:57:02At this point, I am not rooting for one or the other.
00:57:05I will leave that decision to Rue because there's no way I can pick.
00:57:10I'm coming to the bottom.
00:57:11Oh, you got me, la, la, la.
00:57:13I'm hyper-sexy top to bottom.
00:57:15Girl like me.
00:57:16Yes, that's it!
00:57:18Yes!
00:57:19Yes!
00:57:20Yes!
00:57:20Woo!
00:57:22Y'all ate that up.
00:57:26Queens, I've made my decision.
00:57:38Nene Coco, shantay, you stay.
00:57:44Wow.
00:57:46Oh, my God.
00:57:48And, Condragulations, you're moving forward to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:57:54This is a dream.
00:57:56You may join the other girls.
00:57:59I have made it!
00:58:01Oh, my God!
00:58:07Yeah.
00:58:08Juicy, my queen.

00:58:16Now, sashay away.
00:58:19Thank you so much.

00:58:37Yes, Juice!
00:58:37Love you.
00:58:39Love you.
00:58:39Love you so much.
00:58:43Well, Ru, you got me, girl.
00:58:46I almost had it.
00:58:47I was right there.
00:58:48But I hope I did Miami proud and my family proud and my mom proud.
00:58:58But right now, I'm just a little sad.
00:59:01And it's just the beginning of a lot, lot more of Juicy.
00:59:21Come on, you're right there.
00:59:24I love you.
00:59:33Seriously?
00:59:34It's a努力.
00:59:36All right.
00:59:37I am coming to this finale with a vengeance.
00:59:40It's mine.
00:59:41I've wanted to be here for so long,
00:59:42and to know that I get to compete in the finale.
00:59:47Oh God, my friends and family are gonna be so proud of me.
00:59:50The ground is shaking, you know,
00:59:52like I am a finalist of RuPaul's Drag Race season 18.
00:59:56The judges have still never seen me lip sync.
01:00:00So clock that to you.
01:00:03Until next week, remember,
01:00:05if you can't love yourself out in the hell,
01:00:07you're gonna love somebody else.
01:00:08Can I get an amen up in here?
01:00:10Amen!

01:00:36and this is why I'm here.
01:00:37Only one lip sync assassin
01:00:40will snatch a cash prize of $50,000.
01:00:46Get your popcorn, bitch.
01:00:47To know disguise in your future.
01:00:53Do this feel it's right.
01:00:56Until then, love,
01:00:58do this feel it's 1-2.
