FunTranscript
00:00:03Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:00:05You need to turn these dashing desperados into dazzling dolls.
00:00:11Damn! These are men!
00:00:15Nene Coco.
00:00:16This is a costume with the same antennas and eyelashes,
00:00:19but not a family resemblance.
00:00:21Discord Adams.
00:00:22It just didn't make any fucking sense, and I hate it.
00:00:25Mikey Meeks.
00:00:26Y'all are giving opulence!
00:00:29Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.
00:00:33Nene Coco.
00:00:35Shantae, you stay.
00:00:37Discord Adams.
00:00:38Sashay away.
00:00:52Discord has just been eliminated.
00:00:55Although it's sad to see another person go,
00:00:57we're getting nearer and nearer to the end.
00:01:00In Discord land, I could be in the top next week.
00:01:04I love y'all so much.
00:01:06Love, Discord.
00:01:07Yes, Discord.
00:01:09Um, yeah, it's just really emotional.
00:01:11And the first time lipstick in the bottom, that does not feel good.
00:01:15At least another butterfly didn't die on the stage.
00:01:18Oh my God.
00:01:20Jesus Christ, dude.
00:01:21I don't know.
00:01:23I have had such high points in this competition so far.
00:01:28And right now, I just hit the bottom.
00:01:31And it is not a comfortable place to be.
00:01:33Mikey, congratulations.
00:01:37Congratulations, Mikey.
00:01:40Win number two.
00:01:41Win number two, Mikey.
00:01:44To get a win this close to the finale feels very good.
00:01:47And I'm just hyped.
00:01:48And Darlene, Juicy, congrats to y'all.
00:01:50Top placement.
00:01:51Darlene, I feel like you are on the high streak, bitch.
00:01:55You are through the moon.
00:01:57Going up.
00:01:58Watch out, sister.
00:02:01Juicy, I'm proud of you because you were in your head a little.
00:02:05You know what I mean?
00:02:06And like, you pulled it out.
00:02:07I want to continue this feeling of overcoming my own personal, like, downfalls, you know?
00:02:13For sure.
00:02:14Oh, it feels amazing to finally have a good week after this four-week low.
00:02:19Now I gotta keep this up.
00:02:20I really gotta keep this up.
00:02:21As long as I work really, really hard, then, you know, things are possible.
00:02:25Well, speaking of anything's possible...
00:02:27Oh, my God!
00:02:29Whoa!
00:02:32I got close to the bottom.
00:02:34I don't ever want to be that close again.
00:02:36Jane, your streak of placing the top has ended, but I don't think that discredits your journey
00:02:41of this competition.
00:02:42I do think you broke a record for placing the top consistently the most in one season.
00:02:46Yeah.
00:02:47And that's pretty amazing.
00:02:48And I love that, but I do just want to bind and rebuke whatever you have going on over here.
00:02:53This narrative.
00:02:55And I want to just reorient the energy to, that was crazy what just happened.
00:03:01And we'll be back to our scheduled programming soon.
00:03:05The other girls up to this point have seen me as, like, kind of unstoppable.
00:03:10And for the first time, I'm feeling a little, like, vulnerable.
00:03:13It's just a weird feeling this late in the game.
00:03:16We all understand the stakes that we were given, so we just got to fight for it, ladies.
00:03:21It feels like Jane is starting to show a few cracks.
00:03:24And now that we are at top five, the odds of ending up in the bottom are even higher.
00:03:29And that includes the spectacular Jane Doe.
00:03:32When we are this close to the end, it is literally my hairs.
00:03:36Did you put panties over the bike shorts?
00:03:38Yes, she did!
00:03:39Yes!
00:03:40Law Roach said this was the best book of the night.
00:03:44Take notes, ladies.
00:03:46Wow.
00:03:48The crown is, like, so close.
00:03:51Okay, bye.
00:03:52Oh, my God.
00:03:53Just have to reach out and grab it.
00:03:54No, you're too fierce, sister.
00:03:56Stop.
00:03:56You're too fierce.
00:03:57And not to fuck up.
00:03:59I'm going home, you guys.
00:04:01Top four!
00:04:02Top four!
00:04:04Don't wait!
00:04:05I'm coming back!
00:04:10The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics
00:04:17and a cash prize of $200,000 courtesy of RuPaul's Drag Race Match Queen
00:04:24with extra special guest judge Julianne Nicholson.
00:04:27RuPaul's Drag Race!
00:04:28Say the best drag queen win!
00:04:30Best drag queen win!
00:04:39It is Say Something Hat Day!
00:04:42We're all wearing little hats because we can and we're gay and we're fun.
00:04:46What does everyone's hat say about them?
00:04:49I wish that mine had a little propeller.
00:04:50Mine says, yay!
00:04:53Mine says, who let the girls out?
00:04:56Woo!
00:04:57It's so crazy.
00:04:58It's just, like, so wild.
00:04:59I'm a little devil.
00:05:01Ooh!
00:05:02Ooh!
00:05:03I'm just a baby.
00:05:07Are you sure?
00:05:08We're gonna say that.
00:05:09We're gonna say that.
00:05:10Whose hat?
00:05:10Who wore best?
00:05:11I like Darlene's the best.
00:05:13Oh, thank you.
00:05:14This was on brand.
00:05:14Yeah.
00:05:15I'm gonna count that on my, um, win.
00:05:17That's your win.
00:05:18Darlene's got two now!
00:05:19Darlene's got two!
00:05:20I think to keep rising to the top in this competition, I have to remember to keep trusting the fun.
00:05:26Like, yeah, yeehaw!
00:05:31Hello, hello, hello!
00:05:32Oh!
00:05:33Let's go!
00:05:34Good morning, good morning!
00:05:35Yes, broach!
00:05:36Good morning, Ladykins.
00:05:38For today's mini-challenge, we're gonna have ourselves a good old-fashioned bitch fest.
00:05:44Woo!
00:05:45Let's go!
00:05:46And we're gonna do it with puppets!
00:05:48Yay!
00:05:49Yay!
00:05:50Why?
00:05:51Because everybody loves puppets!
00:05:55First, you need to reach into the glory hole and pull out a puppet that represents one of your sisters.
00:06:04First up, juicy.
00:06:06Ooh, I wonder who am I gonna get that?
00:06:08Reach deep.
00:06:10Jane Dunn!
00:06:12Wow!
00:06:14Okay, Mikey!
00:06:18Again?
00:06:19Oh, my God.
00:06:21So, Mikey got Juicy Love Dion.
00:06:24Hopefully, I can make Juicy funny, because she hasn't been funny all season.
00:06:27How'd you get your hand in there?
00:06:28You kind of really want it.
00:06:30All right, NeNe.
00:06:32Darlene Mitchell!
00:06:33All right, Darlene Mitchell, go on over.
00:06:36Deeper.
00:06:39Mikey Meeks.
00:06:40It's uncanny.
00:06:42Jane, don't.
00:06:43Go on over.
00:06:44Do you want a kiss?
00:06:46Surprise, surprise.
00:06:47You got NeNe Coco.
00:06:50NeNe is probably the most subdued personality here, which is not necessarily ripe for comedic stylizing.
00:07:01All right, ladies, you have 20 minutes to drag up your sister puppets.
00:07:06Ready, set, go.
00:07:09Let's go Juicy.
00:07:12Snatched.
00:07:12Oh, shit.
00:07:13What are you going to make me wear?
00:07:15I'm recreating your design challenge.
00:07:17Fuck off.
00:07:18Get a haircut, babe.
00:07:20Dragging up this Darlene puppet is the easiest thing I've done in this competition.
00:07:23All I got to do is throw those chunky shoes on and glue a bunch of shit into her hair.
00:07:29It's Darlene Mitchell.
00:07:30Does anybody have a hard front?
00:07:31This one's a lace.
00:07:32Yeah, there's too much lace here.
00:07:33Okay, time's up.
00:07:35First up, Darlene Mitchell and little Mikey Meeks.
00:07:40Not too much, Darlene.
00:07:41Let the bitch fest begin.
00:07:43Hi, Mikey.
00:07:45Hi, Darlene.
00:07:46This natural hairline.
00:07:47I love it.
00:07:48The bravery.
00:07:50And this signature face.
00:07:52Do you do pageants?
00:07:53Yeah?
00:07:59Uh, two minutes.
00:08:01Wow.
00:08:08Material, material.
00:08:09Oh, man, Darlene.
00:08:11Darlene has quite literally two things to say about Mikey before she just starts looking
00:08:18around like a child loss at the mall.
00:08:21Oh, God.
00:08:22If I could sink behind this stage or whatever we call it, that is what I would like to do.
00:08:28Get me out of here, mama.
00:08:30Power down.
00:08:30Oh, my God.
00:08:33Hey, NeNe.
00:08:34Hey, you idiot, bitch.
00:08:36Whoa, NeNe.
00:08:37You're coming in really hot.
00:08:40No, I'm not.
00:08:41I'm glad your mom died.
00:08:43You do look a lot like Alyssa Edwards.
00:08:45Do people tell you that?
00:08:47They don't really say much else about me.
00:08:49Did you win two challenges?
00:08:51Yep.
00:08:51How was your lip sync against Discord last week?
00:08:54It was great.
00:08:55Have you ever lip synced against a person on Ambien?
00:08:58It was kind of like that.
00:09:00In the middle of my set, I look up and everybody's looking at me like I'm, like, balancing my checkbook.
00:09:05All right.
00:09:07I feel like we've covered, um, pretty much everything you've done here.
00:09:12I'm James O, and I'm good at everything.
00:09:15Actually, if I see Sierra Miss in the streets, I'm gonna beat her up and steal her lunch money.
00:09:21Tough crowd, huh?
00:09:24Yeah.
00:09:26Hi, everyone. It's me, Juicy.
00:09:28Whoa, Juicy.
00:09:30That voice didn't work for JoJo.
00:09:32You don't have to keep putting that on.
00:09:34That's just because I suck a lot of dick.
00:09:37I'm Juicy.
00:09:39And the juice is loose, if you know what I mean.
00:09:42Yeah, I sure do, Juicy.
00:09:44I could feel it dripping on my hands, baby.
00:09:47Death drop!
00:09:49I'm glad we're all bombing.
00:09:52Hi, darling.
00:09:53Hi!
00:09:55Oh, my God.
00:09:56You seem really excited.
00:09:58Yeah.
00:09:59I'm just happy to be here.
00:10:01NeNe's puppet is sickening.
00:10:02I'm kind of like, oh, I need all this.
00:10:05This is something I want to wear.
00:10:07It's okay, sweetie.
00:10:09Are you okay?
00:10:12Oh, why are you so emotional?
00:10:15Uh, banana!
00:10:18Sure.
00:10:19Yeah, that makes sense.
00:10:21Uh, hamburger!
00:10:24I guess that's what you can say when things aren't funny.
00:10:30Mashed potatoes!
00:10:35I don't know how you say.
00:10:36NeNe, you're kind of bombing.
00:10:38Yeah, that would make five of us, I think.
00:10:41NeNe's puppet looks the best.
00:10:44NeNe's content is the worst.
00:10:48No, I'm just kidding.
00:10:49Juicy was the worst, by far.
00:10:51All right.
00:10:52Ladykins, you were all rotten.
00:10:55Yes.
00:10:56Well, yes.
00:10:57But one of you...
00:10:59Actually, no, you were all equally rotten.
00:11:02Yeah.
00:11:03Sorry, bro.
00:11:04But the real loser of today's mini challenge is...
00:11:09Our crew.
00:11:12Who had to sit through the unedited version of that catastrophe.
00:11:18Damn.
00:11:18So that means the crew will split a tip of $2,500.
00:11:28In exchange for time they will never, ever get back.
00:11:37Everybody hates puppets.
00:11:40My queens.
00:11:41Now, we've had many guest stars on this show that only need one name, like Liza, Lizzo, and LaToya.
00:11:49Hmm.
00:11:50But there's one one name wonder we have sadly overlooked.
00:11:55Until now.
00:11:57She's loud, obnoxious, and deeply delusional.
00:12:02Discord.
00:12:04And her name...
00:12:06Is Karen.
00:12:09So for this week's maxi challenge, you need to use your improv skills in a show we're calling...
00:12:16Karen's Gone Wild.
00:12:18Brought to you by Stop That Train.
00:12:20In theaters this summer.
00:12:24You're kidding.
00:12:26We just failed miserably at a little improv mini challenge, and now Ru says the maxi challenge is an improv
00:12:33challenge.
00:12:34God.
00:12:35Be with me.
00:12:37Each of you will channel a different Karen, whose outrageous behavior is caught on camera.
00:12:43First, there's late for her flight Karen, who won't take no for an answer.
00:12:48There's parking spot Karen, who thinks she owns the whole damn block.
00:12:53Mmm.
00:12:53There's traffic stop Karen, who believes the law does not apply to her.
00:12:58There's shoplifting Karen, who's in deep denial.
00:13:02And then there's HOA Karen, who runs the condo complex like a dictator.
00:13:09Now to help you get into character, I'll let you fight over who gets which Karen.
00:13:15Then later today, you'll be shooting your viral videos with a pop culture expert,
00:13:21who has a PhD in Karenology.
00:13:25Oh, go on.
00:13:26I am, of course, referring to...
00:13:29me.
00:13:31No way!
00:13:33I can't get enough of these videos!
00:13:36It's not just improv.
00:13:38It's character improv with RuPaul.
00:13:41So you gotta keep up with her while staying in...
00:13:44Oh my god, this is a hard one.
00:13:45Bracer, start your engines and make the best drag queen win.
00:13:50Yeah!
00:13:52Let's go, Karens.
00:13:53Karens, get your ass on this couch.
00:13:54Come on, girl.
00:13:55This week's Maxi Challenge is an improv acting challenge.
00:13:59Karen's gone wild.
00:14:01We have some things to sort out.
00:14:04We have to decide amongst ourselves which Karen each of us will play.
00:14:08Does anybody have any immediate responses?
00:14:13Karens are Karens.
00:14:14Anyone will be fine.
00:14:16I'll take whatever's left.
00:14:17Hey, I guess I'll call on them.
00:14:19Darlene, I saw your hand first.
00:14:21Shoplifting.
00:14:22HOA.
00:14:22Okay.
00:14:23Traffic stop.
00:14:24I'm kind of late for her flight, Karen.
00:14:26So now I'll do a parking spot.
00:14:29Really?
00:14:29No one wants to fight about anything?
00:14:31Wow.
00:14:32That was pretty easy.
00:14:33What the hell?
00:14:34Actually, I feel like I could fit in kind of all sides.
00:14:37Let's go get ready.
00:14:38Let's go.
00:14:38Let's go get to work.
00:14:39Let's get this together.
00:14:40It's ironic that in the middle of a Karen challenge, there's no fighting.
00:14:44There's no drama.
00:14:46Nothing viral will come of this.
00:14:49Hey, Karen.
00:14:50Hey, Karen.
00:14:51Hey, Karen.
00:14:52It's time to get these Karens together.
00:14:54We have to start working on these characters.
00:14:57Traffic stop Karen.
00:14:59I feel like I've done well with the more improv-y based challenge.
00:15:01So I feel pretty solid going into this one.
00:15:04The thing about improv is, like, you kind of, you...
00:15:06The thing about improv is, it's a team, it's like a team sport.
00:15:10It's evolving.
00:15:11It's tennis match.
00:15:11You have to, like, be paying attention to what the scene partner is saying
00:15:13so that you can respond to it.
00:15:15In previous comedy acting challenges, I have done very well.
00:15:18I was in the top for RDR Live.
00:15:20A leather bracelet!
00:15:21And for the Snatch Game.
00:15:22So going into this, I'm feeling pretty good.
00:15:24My favorite Karen is the Bath & Body Works candle Karen.
00:15:28Appleton.
00:15:28Oh, yeah, that YouTube video.
00:15:31You've never seen this?
00:15:33I don't think so.
00:15:34Can I be honest?
00:15:35Those videos stress me out.
00:15:36I think I can't...
00:15:38I, like, can't watch them.
00:15:39Um, okay.
00:15:41I'm not trying to be, like, a snob about it,
00:15:43but they do just kind of devolve into screaming and rolling around.
00:15:46It just has that, like, Jerry Springer-like quality.
00:15:49And I'm trying to take my Karen in sort of, I guess, a slightly different direction.
00:15:55I'm kind of making her a bit kooky.
00:15:58She's going to a girl's trip in Palm Springs.
00:16:01You're gonna go do a tour of the rock formations.
00:16:04Snatch Game was something that I had time to prepare for and think through.
00:16:08Before I maw you like a jaguar!
00:16:12But this is more on the fly, so I've gotta really quickly find this character.
00:16:16I'm doing little bubble maps.
00:16:18I am just making lists.
00:16:19Oh, you made a tree.
00:16:20I'm trying to do, you know...
00:16:22Aw, cute.
00:16:23What does it say?
00:16:24She's a...
00:16:24Sub sandwich.
00:16:25Sub sandwich.
00:16:26Gay.
00:16:26Husband.
00:16:27So your husband is gay?
00:16:29No.
00:16:31Okay, well, that right there, that's on number one.
00:16:33That's what you shouldn't do in improv.
00:16:34This is gonna be harder than I thought.
00:16:37Last time I did the character development with political ad, it didn't go so great.
00:16:41And biodegradable.
00:16:42So this time, gotta apply what I learned from my mistakes and see what we turn out.
00:16:48For some reason I wanna make her like a dance mom.
00:16:52You just understand.
00:16:54My kids are gonna be home from dance practice very soon and I need the spot.
00:16:58Hearing Juicy's plan, I think Juicy hasn't necessarily like unlocked that thing that really sets her up to do the
00:17:05best.
00:17:06Now is the time to really just like let her rip.
00:17:08You've said before, like a side that we haven't, I feel like, really seen here.
00:17:12I remember you saying your friends were like, oh my god, when you show up to Drag Race, like you're
00:17:17gonna be the mean girl.
00:17:18Maybe this is your chance to be that Miami mean girl.
00:17:22Oh my god, you're so right.
00:17:25Yeah, I'll be a spicy little Latina.
00:17:27Oh, thank you.
00:17:27You're so smart.
00:17:29Take off the ears.
00:17:32Bite off the nails.
00:17:33I feel like I've proven that I have the comedy chops for these challenges.
00:17:37I am hoping to snag another win, but I think the biggest competition for me is Jane and Mikey.
00:17:45Hey, Lady Kim.
00:17:47Excuse me, I'd like to speak to your manager, please.
00:17:52Alright, I would like to speak to Karen, Karen, Karen, Karen, and Karen.
00:17:58Hi, Karen.
00:17:59Hi, Karen.
00:17:59Hi, Karen.
00:18:00It's Karen.
00:18:04So, the puppet show was a disaster.
00:18:07Right.
00:18:08Right.
00:18:08You know, with the puppet challenge, the thing is, it was about framing it in a way for your personality
00:18:14to come out.
00:18:14Which leads me to this improv fit here.
00:18:17Do you watch the Karen videos?
00:18:19What's the one thing all these Karens have in common?
00:18:22They don't take no for an answer.
00:18:23Okay.
00:18:24They want something, and they're not getting it.
00:18:28That is key right there.
00:18:29You have to determine what your want is in this, and you really want to get those sound bites.
00:18:36Like, you nobody got time for that?
00:18:37You know, if you have a person in your life that you want to pattern this person after, that helps.
00:18:43I mean, when I think of Karen, I always think of my sister, Rozzy.
00:18:46She would be late to picking me up, but she would be mad at me.
00:18:49She would always manipulate things in a way that she would wind up on top.
00:18:54You see the tactic there, the psychological tactic.
00:18:57So, how are you going to make your Karen funnier than what's on the paper?
00:19:03I think there's something fun about watching somebody who's used to being in charge just be told no.
00:19:08The more fleshed out the character is, the easier we can rely on how they would react in these moments.
00:19:14Yeah. Use your imagination to frame it in a situation that can create more.
00:19:19I think some good advice that I got from you is that to just really lean into the absurdity and
00:19:24to, like, really let that fear of, like, it not going well kind of, like, just get in the backseat.
00:19:30Yeah. Lean into the absurdity. With the roast, you just let it all hang out.
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:35That's what you got to do. Do you hear that, Juicy?
00:19:38Yep. Writing it down.
00:19:40Writing it down.
00:19:40Writing it down, taking notes.
00:19:41I'm worried about you the most. Why do you think I'm worried about you?
00:19:44Because you haven't been getting who I am through these improv challenges.
00:19:49Well, the bigger question is, what has kept you from letting it all hang out? That's the bigger question. How
00:19:54are you going to make your character funnier?
00:19:56I'm really going to lean into the spicy Latina that I usually am back home and bring up some of
00:20:04that attitude out of me.
00:20:05Juicy, I believe in you. I know that you've got it in you. Just bring it out, okay?
00:20:10All right, kids. Good luck. And don't fuck it up.
00:20:14Thank you, Ru. Thank you, Ru.
00:20:16No more puppets. No more puppets.
00:20:17We're about to shoot the Karen's Gone Wild scene face-to-face with RuPaul.
00:20:22I have to really bring it this week if I want to stay out of the bottom.
00:20:27Welcome to Karen's Gone Wild. Hold on to your manager.
00:20:32This Karen says the curb is reserved, and she's about to stage a whole crime scene to prove it.
00:20:39I just arrived at my location, and I could hear some woman screaming.
00:20:43Oye! Oye!
00:20:45Oh, God, here she comes.
00:20:46Oye!
00:20:46Hi. Hi, Papi.
00:20:53What is she doing?
00:20:54Hi, Papi. Hi. This is my parking spot.
00:20:57This is a public street.
00:20:58No, it's not public street. Maybe over there, public street, and over there, public street.
00:21:02But this is for my family. They're coming from such a class in 30 minutes. Not such a dancing class,
00:21:08such a making class.
00:21:08Listen, there's parking spaces all over there.
00:21:11Okay.
00:21:11You don't have to park here. This is a public parking, ma'am.
00:21:15No, no, okay. You're being very rude.
00:21:17What do you mean?
00:21:17I'm gonna call my husband. My husband, Miguel Castro.
00:21:20I'm gonna call Miguel Castro if you don't move from this spot, Papi.
00:21:23Ma'am, listen. I found this parking spot on the public street.
00:21:27There's no public street.
00:21:28This is where I'm gonna be. I'm gonna get out of my car. I'm gonna go.
00:21:32This is my parking spot for my family.
00:21:34No, this is public parking.
00:21:35It's not public parking, my love. Do you have license and registration?
00:21:38Repeat after me.
00:21:40Public.
00:21:40Public.
00:21:41Parking.
00:21:41For no one.
00:21:42Ma'am.
00:21:43If you keep going, I'm gonna call Miguel.
00:21:45Papi, have you seen me?
00:21:46You can call Miguel. Who is Miguel?
00:21:47Papi, you want to call Miguel?
00:21:48If you want to call Miguel, I'll call Joe Anderson.
00:21:52Who is Joe Anderson?
00:21:53My husband is Joe Anderson.
00:21:56Oh, your husband.
00:21:56Yeah.
00:21:57I see.
00:21:58Where's your ring, my love?
00:21:59I don't see no ring.
00:22:01Liar.
00:22:01Oh, baby.
00:22:02Liar.
00:22:03Oh, I have the ring.
00:22:04I have the ring.
00:22:05Are you a prostitute?
00:22:07No, you're a prostitute.
00:22:07Are you soliciting me?
00:22:08You shouldn't be here in this spot.
00:22:10This is my house.
00:22:10Listen, I'm just gonna get out and...
00:22:12No, I know.
00:22:13Ay!
00:22:14No, no, no.
00:22:15I'm filming this whole thing.
00:22:18Miguel, ayúdame!
00:22:20You know what?
00:22:21I'm gonna get your license plate.
00:22:23Go ahead.
00:22:24I'm gonna get...
00:22:25Oh!
00:22:26Miguel, ayúdame!
00:22:28What is this bitch trying to do?
00:22:30Oh, she's...
00:22:30Oh, she's pretending...
00:22:32She's pretending that I hit her car.
00:22:37Miguel, ayúdame!
00:22:39Karen, down!
00:22:40Miguel's parking spot just turned into a federal case.
00:22:44My car's not even moving.
00:22:47Good luck at you.
00:22:48Help!
00:22:51Seriously?
00:22:55You are pathetic.
00:22:57I'm calling the police on you, baby.
00:22:59I got the spot.
00:23:02I got the spot.
00:23:04Adios, muchacha.
00:23:05I see you in court, baby.
00:23:07Adios, puta.
00:23:09Look at her pretending like she got hit by my car.
00:23:11My car not even moving.
00:23:13Your car was moving!
00:23:14Yes, it was!
00:23:16Ridiculous.
00:23:18This Karen says she's a loyal customer.
00:23:21The security guard says loyalty still requires a receipt.
00:23:26Hey, y'all.
00:23:28It's Karen coming to you live.
00:23:30Oh.
00:23:31The Meadowland Mall.
00:23:33Just picking up my fangs.
00:23:36And uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, madam.
00:23:40Oh, good.
00:23:40We're on camera.
00:23:41Hey, everybody!
00:23:43We got you on camera, too, ladies.
00:23:45See, I don't care about these cameras,
00:23:47because you know what?
00:23:49God's watching, too.
00:23:50Oh, hallelujah!
00:23:51And he knows the truth.
00:23:52Oh, yes!
00:23:53I want to see your receipt.
00:23:54I already bought.
00:23:55I want to see your receipt.
00:23:57Okay, well, uh...
00:23:59Why don't you start looking through these?
00:24:01Let's see.
00:24:02I see Funyuns.
00:24:03I see, um...
00:24:04What's that?
00:24:05What is this?
00:24:07Uh...
00:24:08That doesn't look like your color.
00:24:09Looks like maybe your color better than mine.
00:24:11I don't like my color.
00:24:13You know, uh...
00:24:14It's real pretty.
00:24:15Here, here, here, here.
00:24:16You got a lot of stuff here.
00:24:16I think that'll do!
00:24:18Well, I don't see any of them here.
00:24:20That'll do!
00:24:21I don't see any of them here for our store.
00:24:23You know what?
00:24:24I know Jill Robert,
00:24:26the manager of this establishment, and...
00:24:29I know Oral Roberts.
00:24:31I've never seen you here.
00:24:33You know Oral Roberts?
00:24:33Oh, you are nasty.
00:24:36Oral Roberts, the preacher.
00:24:36You're nasty.
00:24:37You're trying to bait me.
00:24:40We've got...
00:24:40I'm here at the Meadowland Mall, and I'm getting baited.
00:24:45We've got a...
00:24:46Jill!
00:24:47Where the hell is Jill?
00:24:48We've got a shoplifter right here.
00:24:50No ma'am.
00:24:51No ma'am.
00:24:52I am here on Tuesdays, Saturdays.
00:24:55Okay.
00:24:56Sometimes Mondays if my husband's working.
00:25:01Yes, I love it.
00:25:02This is my sacred space!
00:25:04I love this place, too.
00:25:05It's beautiful.
00:25:06And you are taking that from me.
00:25:07Yeah.
00:25:08You're trying to steal, baby.
00:25:09Oh, no.
00:25:10I am a Christian.
00:25:11Are you?
00:25:12Shall we pray?
00:25:13I...
00:25:15Dear Lord.
00:25:16Dear Lord.
00:25:16I hope you give this man...
00:25:19Uh-huh.
00:25:20...to see the truth.
00:25:21Oh, hallelujah.
00:25:22But I'm not a criminal.
00:25:24Yes, you are.
00:25:26Amen.
00:25:27Not Karen trying divine customer service.
00:25:30One day, this truth is gonna hit you.
00:25:32Oh, yeah.
00:25:33And you're gonna feel the guilt.
00:25:34Where's it gonna hit me?
00:25:36Oh, you are nasty.
00:25:37You show me on the doll.
00:25:38You're just a uniform.
00:25:39Where's it gonna hit me?
00:25:41Oh!
00:25:43What's your name?
00:25:45Cleotas Jackson.
00:25:46Uh-huh.
00:25:47If you're nasty.
00:25:48And what are your credentials?
00:25:49Well, here they are right here.
00:25:50Oh, oh, oh, okay.
00:25:52Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:54Okay!
00:25:54Hey!
00:25:55Oh, they're gonna eat this.
00:25:56Hey!
00:25:57Oh, turn around.
00:25:58Turn around.
00:25:59Now, let's go back to the security room.
00:26:02I think I should go.
00:26:03Now, baby.
00:26:04Oh, good.
00:26:05Now, I'm gonna need that back up right now.
00:26:07Where the hell is Jill?
00:26:09Head in that direction, and we're gonna go.
00:26:10But last service I saw, they really taught the importance of...
00:26:14Of...
00:26:15Of...
00:26:15Of being honest.
00:26:17Asking for forgiveness instead of permission.
00:26:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:26:21She's headed out the door right now.
00:26:23I need that back up.
00:26:23Can you please?
00:26:25Did the Lord bring you back?
00:26:27Can I have the chips?
00:26:29Sure.
00:26:30Take them.
00:26:32Oh, God, yeah!
00:26:34Jeez.
00:26:36This Karen says she left a license at home.
00:26:39But officer says, then maybe leave the car there, too.
00:26:48Would you roll your window down?
00:26:50Sure!
00:26:51Sorry, one second.
00:26:52Roll your window down.
00:26:53Ma'am.
00:26:55Sorry.
00:26:55It's a new car.
00:26:56I'm so sorry.
00:26:57Roll your window down.
00:26:59Oh, my God!
00:27:02Ma'am, I need you to roll this window down.
00:27:04Okay, one second.
00:27:05Would you just...
00:27:06Yeah, I got you.
00:27:06Would you open the door?
00:27:08All right, license and registration, please.
00:27:11I'm sorry?
00:27:12License and registration, please.
00:27:15Who do you think you're talking to?
00:27:17You're not wearing your safety belt, which is a violation in this state.
00:27:20You are making this up.
00:27:21License and registration, please.
00:27:23Where's your license?
00:27:25I'm a police officer.
00:27:27Are you?
00:27:27Okay, this is not a discussion that we're having here.
00:27:30Do you have a license?
00:27:32I don't need a license.
00:27:34I'm traveling.
00:27:35In this state, you need a driver's license.
00:27:40In this state, you need to tone down the attitude.
00:27:43What I need from you, madam, is your license and registration.
00:27:48All right.
00:27:49Okay.
00:27:51All right, don't reach for stuff.
00:27:53Don't reach for stuff.
00:27:54I like your outfit.
00:27:55Thank you very much.
00:27:56Oh, dear.
00:27:57Please turn your engine off.
00:27:59It's really hot outside.
00:28:00Turn your engine off.
00:28:02I will take your ass to jail, okay?
00:28:05Got it.
00:28:06Um, so, license, I don't know about that, but I have this for you.
00:28:11What does it say?
00:28:11Where does that get me?
00:28:12Karen Gaylord, call me.
00:28:15Mm-hmm.
00:28:16I'll call you a criminal.
00:28:18Nice try, Karen.
00:28:19But the officer's committed to a ticket.
00:28:23Are you threatening me?
00:28:24Oh, hell yeah, I'm threatening you.
00:28:26Gaylord Nation, get a load of this.
00:28:28This is my seventh vlog of the day, and I'm so ruined.
00:28:30Oh, are you filming me?
00:28:31Yeah, I'm filming you.
00:28:32You can film me all you want.
00:28:34You see all of this?
00:28:36Yes, get it.
00:28:37I think I like you.
00:28:38Okay, I'm gonna have to write you up, man.
00:28:40But for what?
00:28:40For getting on my nerves.
00:28:45What are you doing with your seat?
00:28:47I'm sleepy.
00:28:48Uh-uh.
00:28:49You are racking up the violations, madam.
00:28:51Damn it, damn it.
00:28:51What kind of car is this?
00:28:53It's a Toyota Coma.
00:28:54A Toyota who?
00:28:56Coma.
00:28:57Oh, bitch, I need you to get out of the car.
00:28:59Oh, no, no, you can't make me.
00:29:01I need you to get out of the car.
00:29:02I'm placing you under arrest.
00:29:04I can't do this anymore.
00:29:06Okay, put your hands behind your back.
00:29:08No, no, don't.
00:29:09Put your hands behind your back.
00:29:09No, you're threatening.
00:29:11I can't do this.
00:29:11Put your whole left fist in your mouth.
00:29:14It's so big, officer.
00:29:16Put your right fist in your mouth.
00:29:17Okay, that fits better.
00:29:19Now, say, I'm a bad girl.
00:29:22I'm a bad girl.
00:29:23Now, go like this.
00:29:25I'm a bad girl.
00:29:27Ah.
00:29:28Yeah, get it.
00:29:29Get it.
00:29:29Yeah, I got a bad bitch up in here, y'all.
00:29:31Am I still going to jail?
00:29:32Oh, hell yeah.
00:29:33Yeah, yeah, you're going to jail all right.
00:29:35There is a child in the back seat.
00:29:38Do you want your kids in here?
00:29:38Oh, you want your kids in here?
00:29:39I do.
00:29:39Can you take a look?
00:29:40Yeah, let me see.
00:29:41Where are your kids at?
00:29:42Hey, oh, you better get your ass back up in here.
00:29:46You know what?
00:29:49I think that was Drew Barrymore.
00:29:53This Karen didn't make the flight,
00:29:55so now she's making it everyone's problem.
00:30:02Excuse me, can somebody move this?
00:30:03I gotta get on my flight.
00:30:05Sorry, ma'am.
00:30:06The gate has closed.
00:30:08No.
00:30:08Oh, no, no.
00:30:09Absolutely not.
00:30:10That's not gonna work for me.
00:30:11I'm so sorry.
00:30:12It's not my fault I'm late.
00:30:13The idiots at TSA.
00:30:15Ma'am.
00:30:15The gate has closed.
00:30:17No, but you see, this is just a little stanchion.
00:30:19You can let me through.
00:30:20Well, we closed the door of the plane.
00:30:21No, I don't think so.
00:30:23The CEO, you gotta understand.
00:30:24I got here plenty of time.
00:30:25Can let me see your ticket.
00:30:26Okay, it's right here.
00:30:30Executive class, right there.
00:30:31I'm flying to Palm Springs for a girls weekend.
00:30:34Ma'am, I'm sorry, you late.
00:30:36That plane is about to take off.
00:30:38No, no, no, no.
00:30:39This is not my fault.
00:30:40The idiots at TSA, they stopped me,
00:30:42and they confiscated my bags
00:30:44because all 17 knives that I had in there
00:30:47to make ceviche for the girls trip,
00:30:49they said it wasn't allowed on the plane.
00:30:50Well, honey, listen, I don't know what to tell you,
00:30:53but this plane is gone.
00:30:54No, it's right there.
00:30:55Look, I can see my girlfriends are in the window.
00:30:58Well, here, I tell you what.
00:30:59Why don't I call the pilot?
00:31:01Yeah, give him a call.
00:31:02Hello?
00:31:02We see your ID, too.
00:31:04Okay.
00:31:04Yeah, they got this white woman up here
00:31:06trying to get on the plane,
00:31:07but, uh, is that you?
00:31:09Yes, that is me.
00:31:11A few years ago.
00:31:12Oh, she's about 250 pounds.
00:31:15Whoa!
00:31:16All right, I'll tell her.
00:31:18I'm sorry, but the pilot said this no-go, ma'am.
00:31:22Okay, okay, listen.
00:31:22I'm gonna need you to let me through,
00:31:24call that pilot back.
00:31:25Babe, that dog won't hunt.
00:31:27I'm gonna cut the dramatics with you.
00:31:28Mm-hmm.
00:31:29I'm gonna tell you the real truth,
00:31:31the honest truth.
00:31:32I have a terminal illness.
00:31:35Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:35I do, and the doctors told me
00:31:37I only have a few days to live,
00:31:40but they said that the cure to this disease
00:31:43could be a mojito in Palm Springs.
00:31:46Oh, a mojito, that sounds real good, girl.
00:31:49I know, I know.
00:31:50I'm ready for the cure.
00:31:51But, baby, this plane is gone.
00:31:54The only thing boarding right now
00:31:56is Karen's entitlement.
00:31:58Okay, I did not want to do this.
00:32:00Everybody in my Facebook,
00:32:02in my Facebook group is gonna see this.
00:32:03You can play that game, baby.
00:32:04They're gonna see this.
00:32:05Look at this.
00:32:05You can play that game, baby.
00:32:07How very dare you?
00:32:07How very dare you, ma'am.
00:32:09You know what?
00:32:10This is an occupational hazard,
00:32:12is what this is.
00:32:12You bother me.
00:32:13I was on my break.
00:32:14This is great.
00:32:15And you trying to get me
00:32:16to get you on a plane
00:32:17that's already backing up.
00:32:20Help!
00:32:20Help!
00:32:21Help!
00:32:22He assaulted me.
00:32:23I got you on camera.
00:32:24This is anti-Presbyterian discrimination.
00:32:27I've seen this before, girl.
00:32:29You ain't fooling nobody.
00:32:30Okay.
00:32:30Well, everybody just saw you
00:32:32reach across that desk.
00:32:34Uh-huh.
00:32:34And hit me.
00:32:35Bye, y'all.
00:32:36No, no, no, no.
00:32:37Hold that plane.
00:32:37See you later.
00:32:38Hold that plane.
00:32:39Bye-bye.
00:32:40You better hold that plane.
00:32:41Hold that plane.
00:32:41You better get your ass away from here.
00:32:43Now, go.
00:32:44You know what?
00:32:45I'm getting out of here before security does,
00:32:46but you'll hear from me.
00:32:47Scoot.
00:32:47You'll hear from me, buster.
00:32:49Come on, Candy Crush.
00:32:51Do people still play Candy Crush?
00:32:57This Karen called it community standards.
00:32:59He called it mind your business.
00:33:01And now Santa's about to catch a stray in July.
00:33:09Mr. Paul!
00:33:11Who is it?
00:33:12Karen Crenshaw Cooper Collins.
00:33:15What do you want?
00:33:16I can hear you.
00:33:17It is the middle of July.
00:33:19July is for the red, white, and blue.
00:33:21You know what colors I see all around this door?
00:33:24Know what?
00:33:25I see green.
00:33:27I see red.
00:33:28Whoa!
00:33:29Oh, I see red when I'm gonna beat your ass.
00:33:32Okay.
00:33:32I'll tell you that.
00:33:33Well, that's something we can agree on, ain't it?
00:33:35I celebrate Christmas all year long.
00:33:38And that ain't none of your business.
00:33:40It is my business because I'm the head of the HOA.
00:33:42You head of the what?
00:33:44HOA.
00:33:45HOMOS Association.
00:33:46No, no, no.
00:33:47You need to get your ears checked.
00:33:48I thought you did.
00:33:48I don't need my ears.
00:33:49I heard you right.
00:33:50You are the leader of the HOMOS Association.
00:33:53Homeowners.
00:33:54HOMOS Association.
00:33:55Also, this is a condominium.
00:33:56Is it?
00:33:56You know where you are?
00:33:57I do know where I'm in a condominium.
00:33:59I pay my lease every month, which allows me to luxuriate in all of this.
00:34:06You see this?
00:34:07This is a petition.
00:34:08Uh-huh.
00:34:08This was written by the people of this condominium.
00:34:11You see it?
00:34:11And your point with all of this is what?
00:34:14We are bound by the same laws.
00:34:17You need to take down these decorations.
00:34:20You need to.
00:34:21It's in the HOA ordinances.
00:34:23Why am I gonna do it?
00:34:24Things are causing allergens.
00:34:26I'm gonna sue you.
00:34:26I know many a lawyer.
00:34:28This is no longer Christmas in July.
00:34:30It's Christmas in court.
00:34:32Oh, you think you can do that?
00:34:34Oh, yeah.
00:34:34Uh-huh.
00:34:34I see you.
00:34:35She's in violation of the Homeowners Association.
00:34:37You are on social media right now.
00:34:39Yeah.
00:34:39Don't you see?
00:34:41I got you assaulting and thief.
00:34:44These are deadly things.
00:34:45You got a lawsuit, lady.
00:34:47No, no, no.
00:34:47You got a lawsuit.
00:34:48Look at this.
00:34:49Look at these.
00:34:49You got a lawsuit.
00:34:50These halogen lights.
00:34:51Don't you touch them.
00:34:52Oh, they're giving me a seizure.
00:34:53Oh, you're gonna get an ass kicking.
00:34:55Oh, they're giving me a seizure.
00:34:56You're gonna get an ass kicking.
00:34:57Oh, oh.
00:34:57Okay, that's it right there.
00:34:58I'm calling the police right now.
00:34:59I know the chief of police calling.
00:35:00I got you on camera.
00:35:02I got you on camera.
00:35:02I got you on camera.
00:35:03See this?
00:35:03We got a lawsuit.
00:35:05We got a lawsuit.
00:35:06I got to pay more where that came from.
00:35:08Oh, what if I take your candy cane?
00:35:11But you, oh, woman.
00:35:13Hang on, get you.
00:35:13Get this.
00:35:14Look, get this.
00:35:14Yeah, no.
00:35:15No.
00:35:16We got to get it out of here.
00:35:17I'm going to jail.
00:35:18It's July.
00:35:19You're going to jail.
00:35:19No more.
00:35:20You're going to jail.
00:35:21Christmas decorations.
00:35:23Police.
00:35:24No.
00:35:24Somebody call the police.
00:35:26I'm sick of it.
00:35:27I got all on camera.
00:35:30All on camera.
00:35:32Oh, did I not have it on camera?
00:35:40Where's the manager?
00:35:41It's a new day in the workroom and I am feeling like I need to speak to the manager.
00:35:46Meow.
00:35:47Do not record me.
00:35:48Today the judges will get to watch our Karen performances.
00:35:53I'm feeling, oh God, I don't know how I'm feeling.
00:35:57I feel very severe, honey.
00:36:04Severe up in here.
00:36:05I may be losing it a little bit because this type of challenge is really no reassurance.
00:36:11Y'all, I'm being a little nervous for this one because in the previous comedy challenge,
00:36:16there were people in the room laughing.
00:36:18This one was straight up me and RuPaul.
00:36:22Part of me was like, yeah, you kept it with Ru the whole time.
00:36:25But the other side was like, but were you funny at all?
00:36:29Hmm.
00:36:30I left that shoot thinking, what the hell just happened?
00:36:34Right.
00:36:35We didn't get to watch each other do these scenes.
00:36:37I don't know how the other girls did.
00:36:40So that makes me even more nervous.
00:36:43Does anyone feel overwhelming?
00:36:45Like, yeah, I killed that.
00:36:47That was awesome.
00:36:48I did a great job.
00:36:49I feel like there are moments when I'm like, oh girl, I hate it.
00:36:52You know what I mean?
00:36:53That is one thing about you.
00:36:55One thing about Darlene, Darlene thinks she ate.
00:36:58It ended in both of us hunched over laughing.
00:37:01Yeah, Darlene, you feel like farthest from a Karen.
00:37:04How did you channel Karen?
00:37:06I don't know if I had that sort of like angry, like burst.
00:37:09I definitely went the like, bless your heart route.
00:37:12I feel like I got a lot of laughs during my Karen skit.
00:37:15But as far as the challenge of being a Karen, I don't know, girl.
00:37:20After Ru's walkthrough where she like singled me out a little bit.
00:37:23I was like, you have to let loose.
00:37:25You have to have fun.
00:37:26I was like, okay, well, you know what?
00:37:28I just have to like go out and do it.
00:37:29And like, I feel like I took a big, big risk doing a Hispanic Karen.
00:37:34Considering that everyone else is, you know, stereotypical Karen.
00:37:38You could say white.
00:37:39Yeah.
00:37:41Did you channel anybody you know or like any like?
00:37:44I channeled like a mixture of Newtka Marcos, which is like this really famous, crazy Cuban lady.
00:37:49And I channeled a little bit of my mom.
00:37:51She's not a Karen, but she'll pop off.
00:37:53Oh God.
00:37:53So I was just channeling that.
00:37:55I was channeling like all the times I've seen my aunties fight or, you know, argue and like the hand
00:38:00motions and all that.
00:38:01Honestly, having Ru as a scene partner was fun.
00:38:04She called me a whore.
00:38:06She said that I look like a prostitute.
00:38:08Easy.
00:38:08That was my dress.
00:38:09Yeah.
00:38:10I love the dress.
00:38:11I love the dress.
00:38:12Leave Darlene's Santee Alley dress out of this.
00:38:15Normally when we have a comedy challenge, Juicy comes back and she is a woman in crisis.
00:38:21Today, I can tell from her energy that she feels a lot better about how yesterday went than she has
00:38:27in the past with these kinds of comedy challenges.
00:38:30My thing is anxiety.
00:38:31I'm on a journey of not doing the thing that I always do where I go back home after we
00:38:37do a challenge and think about every single thing that I could have done better and that I did wrong.
00:38:41I've come this far.
00:38:43My track record's fab.
00:38:45I look fab.
00:38:46I look fab.
00:38:47I feel fab.
00:38:48I smell fab.
00:38:49I smell, well, not currently, but I will smell fab.
00:38:52I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.
00:38:55I think I did what was asked, but some people seem to be saying that Ru was really laughing at
00:39:02them, which is making this much more nerve wracking than past performance challenges.
00:39:07NeNe, where's your head at?
00:39:09I also am like, it could have been great.
00:39:11It could have been shit.
00:39:12I don't know.
00:39:14Like, I was having fun.
00:39:15I feel like I stayed in character the whole time.
00:39:17My AJOA Karen sketch was so fun, but also at the same time, I'm like, did I pick up on
00:39:22everything that Ru was putting down?
00:39:24In my scene, Ru was in character the whole time.
00:39:26Yeah.
00:39:26So she wasn't, like, breaking character and laughing or anything.
00:39:29Right.
00:39:29It definitely wasn't the laughs like we got during Snatch Game, you know?
00:39:33Speak for yourself.
00:39:35The pressure's on, y'all.
00:39:36The pressure's on.
00:39:37It's a really, really strong group of girls.
00:39:39But I feel like everyone's weakness is definitely their psyche.
00:39:42The inner saboteur of it all.
00:39:44This challenge is the one that's gonna determine the top four.
00:39:47So we're all feeling the tension in the room because we just don't know where we're gonna land.
00:40:15This is very Bob Mackie.
00:40:18Yes.
00:40:19Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:40:22She's always ready to make a scene, Michelle Visage.
00:40:27A scene?
00:40:28Can I speak to somebody above you?
00:40:31Like, who do you report to?
00:40:33That's who I wanna talk to.
00:40:35Ma'am, I am the manager when the manager's not here.
00:40:38Hmm.
00:40:42She knows a thing or two about going viral, T.S. Madison.
00:40:47Uh-uh, Ru.
00:40:48I got a shot for that.
00:40:50And I'm all better now.
00:40:54And she's no stranger to drama.
00:40:56It's the fabulous Julianne Nicholson.
00:41:00Wait a minute.
00:41:00Are you recording me right now?
00:41:07Welcome, my love.
00:41:09I'm so happy to be here.
00:41:10This week we challenged our queens to cause a commotion as Karen's gone wild.
00:41:16And tonight on the runway, category is From Wholesome to Folsom.
00:41:21Ooh.
00:41:22Ooh.
00:41:23Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
00:41:32Category is From Wholesome to Folsom.
00:41:36Up first, Juicy Love, Dionne.
00:41:38My wholesome look is an Alice in Wonderland inspiration.
00:41:43Oh, dear.
00:41:45Oh, you've got Crisco in my poppers.
00:41:48You've got poppers in my Crisco.
00:41:51Pop till you drop.
00:41:52Once we smell the poppers, baby, that kitty girl comes out and I have Cheshire Cat covering
00:41:58up my privates with a chastity belt because I'm a good girl.
00:42:02I feel like I fit the cat to go.
00:42:04Meow, meow.
00:42:05Curiosity killed the cat, but a good whip brought it back.
00:42:09Calico, you better do.
00:42:13Darlene Mitchell.
00:42:14Ooh, it's a housewife.
00:42:16Picking a casserole.
00:42:17At the Folsom Street Fair, no kink is off limits.
00:42:20So don't piss me off.
00:42:22Just piss on me.
00:42:24She don't piss and tell.
00:42:26I've got my hanky on display and I have my fully stoned, bedazzled,
00:42:32crystallized, pee-stained.
00:42:34Oops.
00:42:35Things got a little messy.
00:42:38And the nastiest little Daisy Dukes you've ever seen.
00:42:41Head to toe, I am dripping.
00:42:43Now that's what I call a golden girl.
00:42:47Mikey Meeks.
00:42:48Oh.
00:42:49Oh, her safe word is rosebud.
00:42:52I'll take a dozen.
00:42:53Mikey Meeks stars in Everything's Coming Up Roses.
00:42:57It's a double feature.
00:42:58Oh, oh no.
00:42:59I pricked my finger.
00:43:01But I kind of like the pain.
00:43:03I reveal into my harness-y, thorny BDSM couture.
00:43:07Do not fuck with me, fellas.
00:43:09Because I also have a vine whip.
00:43:11Wholesome to Folsom, babe.
00:43:13Sweet as a rose to thorny and horny.
00:43:15Thorn?
00:43:16When did I have thorn?
00:43:18Well, I've seen her videos on Thornhub.
00:43:21Oh.
00:43:22Jane, don't.
00:43:24I'm looking for my husband, Ebenezer.
00:43:28Young, beautiful dowager widow wandering through her husband's manse, haunted by his ghost.
00:43:38And then I tear away my nightgown to reveal my fully encrusted red lingerie set.
00:43:44She's the latest cast member.
00:43:46The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
00:43:49I'm wearing my Mrs. Lovett hair, running a bordello.
00:43:52I'm pouring hot wax all over my heaving bosom.
00:43:56It's sort of funny and twisted, but still sexy.
00:44:01Like the heroine of a Bronte novel, if she was also a slut.
00:44:06I feel gorgeous.
00:44:07I heard of a candle in the wind, but this is extra.
00:44:12Nene Coco, give me your tired, your lonely, your whores.
00:44:19I am the very freshly constructed Statue of Liberty, circa 1886.
00:44:24She is draped in this beautiful, pure copper.
00:44:28Oh.
00:44:29Give me liberty or give me a piece of ass.
00:44:33Yeah, who knew that Lady Liberty was so kinky?
00:44:36This is another Nene Coco original.
00:44:37I made it head to toe.
00:44:39She's covered in spikes.
00:44:41Folsom is all about the freedom of expression.
00:44:43So who better to represent that than the Statue of Liberty herself?
00:44:47You can see her in Torch Thong Trilogy.
00:44:50Now that's what I call a Staten Island fairy.
00:44:52You want to see a tunnel?
00:45:00Welcome, queens.
00:45:01It's time for the judges' critiques.
00:45:04Starting with Juicy Love Dion.
00:45:07This outfit tonight, I just would say,
00:45:09here, kitty, kitty, here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
00:45:11Hey, you know, you look like sex.
00:45:14The little demure Alice in Wonderland party girl over it was really fun with the giant poppers.
00:45:20It says it all about you, Juicy.
00:45:22You were the parking spot, Karen.
00:45:26Liar.
00:45:27You really let yourself go.
00:45:28You let yourself have it.
00:45:29You had physical comedy.
00:45:30I loved the Spanish stuff.
00:45:32I loved the thing Ru called you a Buddha.
00:45:34It just, it looked like you two had a good time.
00:45:37I loved your rail work or your railography, if you will.
00:45:42The way you sort of tumbled over the rail.
00:45:44You were totally committed to that moment and letting yourself go.
00:45:47I really fell all the way out with your,
00:45:51Ayuda me!
00:45:53You kind of did get stuck in the Miguel part,
00:45:56but it was just the other little things that you did that made up for it.
00:45:59So Juicy, you came with the character and I was impressed with that.
00:46:02You were fun.
00:46:03I had a great time with you.
00:46:04I'm happy to see that you let it all out.
00:46:08Darlene Mitchell.
00:46:09Now this outfit right here, girl, listen, it brought back memories, okay?
00:46:13Sorry.
00:46:15Thank you for being the boundary pusher tonight.
00:46:21Oh, yellow nails too.
00:46:23We went there.
00:46:24You feel like the missing village person that we all wanted and never got.
00:46:28And you were the shoplifting Karen.
00:46:30You matched Ru.
00:46:32Everything that Ru did, you said yes and, and that's like rule number one for improv.
00:46:37It felt very alive and moment to moment work.
00:46:40Darlene, you are so stupid.
00:46:43I had so much fun with you.
00:46:46You're a really good scene partner.
00:46:47I think you are so funny, but I would have wanted to see more Karen from you.
00:46:52You weren't as much a Karen as you were a good Christian lady.
00:46:55I am a Christian.
00:46:56Growing up in the Midwest, there was a lot of that sort of like bless your heart woman,
00:47:01but on the inside, rotted.
00:47:03Yeah.
00:47:03On a scale of one to 10 from my book, I would definitely give you a high, long eight.
00:47:10Cause I got one.
00:47:13Okay.
00:47:14Ooh.
00:47:15Okay.
00:47:15Ten.
00:47:18Dang it.
00:47:20All right.
00:47:21Up next, Mikey Mix.
00:47:23Now this outfit, girl, you're making me thorny, baby.
00:47:27Just blown away by it.
00:47:28This is gorgeous tonight.
00:47:30That hair is so gorgeous.
00:47:31That reveal was fantastic and top to bottom, beautiful.
00:47:35You were the most Karen of the bunch.
00:47:38Where's your license?
00:47:39And I believed it with the Kate Gosselin hair and all.
00:47:42A Karen is about having privilege and using the privilege to her advantage.
00:47:47You did it for me.
00:47:50One of the things that first jumped out to me was how quickly you went from entitlement.
00:47:55I don't need a license.
00:47:56I'm traveling.
00:47:56To seduction, to distraction, to coma, to running away was just brilliant.
00:48:03When you brought the seat back, like your imagination was limitless.
00:48:07And you just pulled out every last thing you had in your bag of tricks and I bought every single
00:48:12one.
00:48:12Wow.
00:48:13You seem very surprised by the critiques.
00:48:16I am surprised.
00:48:17Why?
00:48:17When it's improv and it was really just the two of us, you leave going, what the hell did I
00:48:22just do?
00:48:22What I'm learning and what I need to continue to work on is trust my gut because it's gotten me
00:48:26this far.
00:48:27Great night for you, Mikey.
00:48:29Wow.
00:48:30Up next, Jane Jones.
00:48:32I just love that juxtaposition of the sort of Jane Austen to like red light.
00:48:38Hooah.
00:48:40In the improv challenge, if you've ever seen a Karen cut up, they cuts up in those airports.
00:48:47Like, I needed more foolishness from you.
00:48:49The 250 pounds, you could have easily just tore into Rue about you being 235.
00:48:56You know, it was so many things that you could have played off, you know, with Rue that I thought
00:49:01you were missing.
00:49:02I loved when you were rolling around so casually, even though clearly he was nowhere near you.
00:49:08I think in this situation, I didn't get Karen. I was getting more Mrs. Roper.
00:49:12I agree that I didn't get as much Karen as I maybe would have liked, but I loved your patterned
00:49:18moo moo and your hair and your glasses.
00:49:20I don't know. Just being like a lady from Palm Springs, I think, is just spiritually where I feel the
00:49:25most at home. So I was just kind of like...
00:49:27I just feel like you came there with things that you wanted to say and you said them and you
00:49:32weren't allowing yourself to go further than that.
00:49:34And I know you've got more than that. I just wanted you to be more Karen, I guess.
00:49:38Sure.
00:49:38Is all. We've all experienced it at this point. Rue's entire algorithm is Karen's, which is why this challenge is
00:49:45probably happening.
00:49:45Listen, you're great. A few maneuvers, she could have been absolutely perfect.
00:49:51Nene Coco.
00:49:53I had very high expectations when you came out because I felt your desperation so clearly.
00:49:59I loved your nails on the clipboard. There were specific things along the way that really brought that character to
00:50:04life.
00:50:05You understood what a Karen was. I just think you ran out of steam. It felt like it became the
00:50:11same thing over and over.
00:50:12You have to keep it moving to keep the comedy moving.
00:50:15Yeah, I feel like I had a lot of energy, came in really hot.
00:50:19Yeah.
00:50:19And didn't have as many levels in there.
00:50:21Yeah.
00:50:21Now, in the runway, I was like, yes, ma'am. And looking at this outfit makes me miss New York
00:50:28City late night.
00:50:30I'm sure we partied with a few club kids that dressed up like this a few times.
00:50:34I just want to get on a ferry and ride all the way.
00:50:39It's such a beautiful, nostalgic moment to see Lady Liberty, especially in this moment with all that's going on in
00:50:45the world around us.
00:50:46Would you ride a ferry?
00:50:48I ride a ferry with you.
00:50:52All right, Nene, anything else you want to add?
00:50:54You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
00:50:59Thanks.
00:51:00All right, well, thank you, Queens. I think we've heard enough.
00:51:02All you untucked backstage. The judges and I will deliberate.
00:51:07All right, now, just between us girlfriends, what do you think?
00:51:11Starting with Juicy loved Dion.
00:51:13I was really proud of Juicy in this challenge, actually, as parking spot Karen.
00:51:19I agree that there were enough viral moments in there.
00:51:22Very, very funny. I had no idea that she would come through like that.
00:51:26She did a really good job tonight.
00:51:29All right, let's talk about Darlene Mitchell.
00:51:31I felt you two were together and you were having a great time.
00:51:34One of the best bits for me was actually you showing us your credentials, Ru, singing and dancing.
00:51:39So when you can elevate your scene partner, that's one of the signs of a great actor.
00:51:43And she has that.
00:51:44I love every single thing about what she did, apart from the fact that she wasn't a Karen.
00:51:50She was more like, I'm a good Christian woman.
00:51:51But I did like her comedic timing with you, Ru.
00:51:54She was down to play.
00:51:56All right, Mikey Meeks.
00:51:57I've tried all of those stunts in the car before and I got arrested.
00:52:01So that is definitely a real Karen.
00:52:04Honey, I have seen these women get away with all of these antics.
00:52:08She just tried everything she could think of and it never felt forced.
00:52:12All right, Jane, don't.
00:52:13She has set the bar so high for herself.
00:52:16She tried to control it too much is the best way I can say it.
00:52:20And that's where we can get lost when we're not so much in the moment.
00:52:24I think she was trying to script it more than just letting it flow.
00:52:28So if you threw something at her, Ru, she didn't take it.
00:52:31She didn't take the bait and that happened a few times.
00:52:33No, I don't think so. See, you gotta understand.
00:52:36What she did was good, but it just wasn't enough.
00:52:38It certainly wasn't Karen enough for me.
00:52:40All right, Nene Coco.
00:52:42Now, Nene Coco was the other one who really knows what a Karen is.
00:52:45She got it. She understood the assignment.
00:52:47However, it felt like she got stuck and kept kind of driving home the same persona.
00:52:52I think it's hard when you start from such a high place because then there's nowhere to go.
00:52:58And I think that's what happened.
00:53:00Felt like there was a lot of screaming with not a lot of, you know, meat and potatoes.
00:53:04Silence. I have made my decision. Bring back my girls.
00:53:09Welcome back, queens. I've made some decisions.
00:53:17Mikey Meeks, your traffic stop, Karen, was just the ticket.
00:53:24Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.
00:53:26Woo, let's fucking go.
00:53:28You've won a cash tip of $5,000.
00:53:31Plus, tickets to see Stop That Train, the first feature film from the Drag Race universe in theaters this summer.
00:53:39Wow.
00:53:40I got my roses, bitch.
00:53:43Oh, my God.
00:53:45Karens, I will thank you this time.
00:53:52Darlene Mitchell, in the challenge, you were a little Karen light, but your runway was a real pisser.
00:54:03Juicy Love Dion, your parking spot, Karen, was a little over the line, but your runway was perfect.
00:54:17Juicy Love Dion, you are safe.
00:54:22Thank you so much.
00:54:23You may step to the back of the stage.
00:54:30Darlene Mitchell, you are safe.
00:54:41You may join the other girls.
00:54:46Nene Coco, Jane Don't, I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
00:54:53I have come way too far, and I have spent way too much time and energy and anxiety to get
00:55:00to this spot, so I'm gonna do what I need to do to get through this shit so that I
00:55:05can be at the end.
00:55:06Two queens stand before me.
00:55:10Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
00:55:19For the first time in the entire competition, the spectacular Jane is in the bottom, and she's up against me,
00:55:26and that is bad news for her.
00:55:29The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:55:43Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
00:55:48Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
00:56:17Let's go.
00:56:18I could be your girlfriend for the weekend.
00:56:22You could be my boyfriend for the night.
00:56:26My excuse to make a bad decision.
00:56:30The party's getting close under the lights.
00:56:35I'm feeling that's what now you're feeling like.
00:56:39I've known you my whole life.
00:56:41I will take you to the gold in a young lady,
00:56:46That was an apple to your fight.
00:56:50I could to take you to the garden of eden.
00:56:54I'm just looking to take you to the garden of eden.
00:56:58I could to take you to the garden of eden.
00:57:15The bitch does a cartwheel back tuck and sticks the landing, period.
00:57:53The bitch does a cartwheel back tuck and sticks the landing, period.
00:58:18The bitch does a cartwheel back tuck and sticks the landing, period.
00:58:27The bitch does a cartwheel back tuck and sticks the landing, period.
00:58:32Nene Coco, Shantae, you stay.
00:58:38You may join the other girls.
00:58:53Jane, my queen, you are a star.
00:58:58Never take don't for an answer.
00:59:03Now, sashay away.
00:59:06Thank you for everything.
00:59:14Oh, um, it...
00:59:25I am surprised, but I mean, you know, I did my best and I killed it and I think I
00:59:37deserved
00:59:37to go to the end, but this has been really amazing and I love these girls so much.
00:59:43It doesn't really feel like there's much else to say.
00:59:49Yeah.
00:59:50Catch you on the flip.
00:59:58Condragulations, queens.
00:59:59And remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
01:00:04Can I get an amen up in here?
01:00:06Amen!
01:00:07All right, now let the music play.
01:00:21Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race, you'll be co-hosting Good Morning Bitches!
01:00:27I just put my...
01:00:28Oh, yep.
01:00:28Like that.
01:00:29There you go, yeah.
01:00:30You're just stopping at a certain point.
01:00:32You're gonna need a tarp and an ass.
01:00:35Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:00:35Can't say that on television.
01:00:37Fuck you.
