00:09Live, love, believe, suck.
00:13It's your fault, that's why she's not here.
00:16How did it feel to finally lip-sync for your life?
00:18I don't want to talk about that.
00:20Oh my gosh, the last challenge, I sucked.
00:24I never went to lip-sync for my life ever again, ever.
00:28You said you used to do musicals in high school, right?
00:30I did.
00:31How were people with you in high school?
00:33I was everybody's friend, really. I didn't really have...
00:36Were you out in high school?
00:37Yeah, totally. Like, how the hell am I going to hide that?
00:39I got picked on in high school.
00:41They used to throw papers at me and stuff.
00:43Everyone referred to me as that gay boy, James.
00:45In Spanish, the words are more bad.
00:48Bato, bato, bato, bato.
00:50You want to hear it in my language?
00:52What?
00:52Catoi, catoi, catoi.
00:55Doesn't that sound dirty?
00:56Imagine being called that by your uncle.
00:58Yeah.
00:59Wow.
00:59When I was young, everybody had fun about me because I'm gay.
01:04I want to take dance class before, and I can't because I'm scared that my mom said,
01:09my son is gay.
01:11I tried to kill myself.
01:12Oh no, sir.
01:14I didn't understand. I didn't know what gay was.
01:16I knew I was totally different. I felt totally alone.
01:17I hated myself for like years. And I thought that, you know, well, I'll just take all these pills because
01:22I don't, I can't deal with it anymore.
01:23I was pretty shocked when Pandora shared that she attempted suicide and she was really, really depressed.
01:29But there's still once in a while that little voice that says, oh, no one likes you or you're not
01:33good enough.
01:33And it's tough. I mean, I don't think it ever goes away.
01:35The adversity that I've gone through being gay has made me stronger and really has made me who I am
01:40today.
01:40And I'm really happy with who I am.
01:42Can I get an amen up in here?
01:44Amen.
01:46Ooh, girl. You got she mail.
01:52Hey, racers. I want to read you a little story called Drag Fun with Dick and Jane.
01:59See Dick. See Dick try on Jane's pumps. Strut, Dick. Strut.
02:04You better work, Dick. And they live draggily ever after.
02:10Now that's my kind of fairytale. What's your story?
02:15Hello, hello, hello. Hello.
02:18My exceptional girls. Now, as drag queens, we shrug off a lot of insults.
02:25So when we get our chance to throw an insult, we turn it into a high art form.
02:30We call it reading or throwing shade. And it's part of our culture.
02:35For today's mini challenge, you will read your fellow queens.
02:42The library is open.
02:45I don't read people.
02:46Of course you don't, Tyra, because you're a Christian.
02:48Come over here, girl. Here are your reading glasses.
02:51Now, what I want you to do is go down the line. I want you to read these bitches.
02:56Read. Starting with Tati.
02:57Oh, wow. We have Eminem doing drag, mama.
03:00Oh.
03:00Oh, wow. And standing right next to her is that jumbo flying in.
03:05Oh, mama. Is this Jun Jun B? Darling, let me get to your level.
03:09Oh.
03:09Oh, Ru, we have an underground orangutan.
03:12Oh, and next to her. Darling, how old are you?
03:16And the one on the end. Oh, just look at her, Ru.
03:18Are you going swimming? Are you doing drag, mama? What is that?
03:21Wonderful. The library is closed.
03:25Tatiana, come on down, honey. The library is open.
03:29Ugh. I don't want to do this.
03:31Go.
03:32Smile for me. Don't smile.
03:34Do you pick up satellite? Those big ones?
03:39Can't do this.
03:41Dig deep, darling.
03:42I just couldn't think of anything to say.
03:44That's totally not my scene. I'm lost. I'm gone.
03:47Tatiana got up there and froze.
03:49She runs her mouth about people, but doesn't talk when she absolutely has to.
03:52I'm shocked Tatiana's still here.
03:55The library is now open.
03:58You think that is big? You need to see another thing that I have for you, bitch.
04:04You are so fat, girl.
04:09What are you doing here, mama?
04:11Go back to Chinatown, girl.
04:15You are a gringa, puerca.
04:17Oh, oh.
04:18You, the top model.
04:20When I see your face, I said puñeta.
04:24Oh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.
04:26La biblioteca is closed.
04:29All right, Juju Bee.
04:30I'm not nervous.
04:31I'll read a bitch.
04:33I will read you to filth.
04:35Miss Tyra, was your barbecue canceled?
04:39Your grill is set.
04:42And Miss Tatiana, Miss Honey, you think you're so soft?
04:47Not by the hairs of your chinny-chin-chin.
04:51Let me tell you something, puerca.
04:52You won't understand this anyways.
04:57Get my gist.
04:59Do you understand?
05:02Pandora.
05:02Can we talk about sun tanning?
05:05And you, legendary you think you are.
05:08Legendary looks like leg and dairy.
05:13The library is closed.
05:17Okay, Pandora box.
05:20Tara Sanchez, if you are America's sweetheart,
05:24America needs a heart transplant.
05:28Tatiana, all I hear when I put my ear up to yours
05:31is the ocean.
05:33Jessica Wilde, those drag clothes look like a donkey
05:36funked a pinata and threw up.
05:40Juju Bee, with that gaping thing you call an asshole,
05:43I think I could go spelunking in there.
05:46Spelunking?
05:46Raven, the frosty bitch.
05:48I think I see penguins circling that pole.
05:52The library is closed.
05:55Ready for the flavor of the Raven.
06:00You got a grill that could put Black & Decker out of business.
06:05Everyone thinks you're pretty?
06:06I do think you're pretty.
06:08I think you have a beautiful face for radio.
06:11Oh, oh, ooh, ooh.
06:13You want to call me a top model, mommy?
06:14Bend over and take it like a man.
06:17I'll be your top model.
06:20Oh, that's cold.
06:21That's cold.
06:22Honey, don't you know a thing about doing a manicure and a pedicure?
06:25Fix them hooves, honey.
06:28Pandora, by the looks of you, you're going through the change of life, honey.
06:32Oh, oh, oh.
06:33She done closed the libraries.
06:35Ooh, child.
06:37I need to duck and cover because y'all bitches is throwing boucouche.
06:41But the winner is...
06:44Juju Bee.
06:46I win!
06:48Finally!
06:50Congratulations, Miss D.
06:52Now, I wanted to take this moment to introduce you to absolute image czar Jeffrey Moran.
07:00Hey, ladies, how are you?
07:02Hi.
07:03To be the best, you have to be daring enough to do things a little differently.
07:06And we've done that recently with a brand new flavor that we're going to debut here.
07:09Berry Acai.
07:11And what we want from you today is just that.
07:13We want you to be a little different, a little exceptional, because just like you, we believe that in an
07:18absolute world, every cocktail is an exceptional experience.
07:20Now, ladies, exceptional is the word of the week.
07:25Now, I've had the chance to write two books about my own exceptional life experiences, including my recent book, Work
07:32It It, RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style.
07:36Writing a book is a great way to let people know who you really are.
07:40For this week's main challenge, you need to come up with your own book, an autobiography that highlights the most
07:47exceptional moments in your life.
07:49They should shed light on who you really are.
07:52Now, later on, you'll be working with a team of photographers, Idris and Tony, to create the perfect book cover.
07:59And I'll be back a little later to check on your progress.
08:03Gentlemen, start your engines and may the best woman win.
08:18This is me.
08:19This is my creative inspiration, okay?
08:22Is that your thinking cap?
08:23It's my thinking hat.
08:26Our main challenge today is to come up with a concept of what our book would be and then design
08:31the cover for the book.
08:34This challenge is so different from all the other challenges because it's about us letting people know who we are.
08:41I dedicate my book to Beyonce.
08:46Successful.
08:48This might be the turning point for some people.
08:53Hello, hello, hello.
08:54Hello.
08:55How's your autobiography, Miss Jane Pittman?
08:57Do you have a title for your book?
08:59The Woman and Me.
09:00Is this funny? Serious?
09:02It's more serious.
09:03It's like how the woman, which is Tyra, helped me get back to loving people and understanding people and allowing
09:09people to love me back.
09:10As a teenager, I made mistakes.
09:12I was out on the streets.
09:13I had a son on the way.
09:15So it was like a little scary.
09:17And to express it and put it out has been a little challenging.
09:20Now, the cover of your book.
09:22Any ideas?
09:23I don't have any yet.
09:25If you want to be behind this book, you have to own it here.
09:29Any questions?
09:30No.
09:31None.
09:32Hey, Miss Raven.
09:33Hello.
09:34Do you have a title for your book?
09:35Young, Broke, and Fabulous.
09:37I love it.
09:38My favorite chapter is LTR.
09:40Long-term relationship.
09:41Long-term.
09:42The long-term relationship I found is the relationship with myself.
09:44Ooh.
09:45You're getting close to home here.
09:46Yes, girl.
09:47Well, I would just advise you to strategize who you see buying this book.
09:54Escandalosa.
09:55Mucho.
09:57Escandalosa.
09:57Mala.
09:58Now, what's your book about?
09:59A kid, he always have dreams, daydreams, and at the end, all those dreams he make come true.
10:07Well, you know, there are a lot of dreamers.
10:10I just want to make sure that the people know that this book is about Jessica Wilde.
10:15And a gorgeous picture on the cover, a title that's kind of funny to say or cheeky.
10:21So think about those things, okay?
10:24All right.
10:24I'm very worried about my own things.
10:27I'm thinking in Spanish and writing in English and I don't have a lot of time for work on this.
10:33Hi, Tatiana.
10:34Hello.
10:35Tell me the title of your book.
10:37It's called Tati from Teen Queen to Drag Superstar.
10:40Sounds delicious.
10:42It's about my life prior to becoming Tatiana.
10:46I started doing drag when I was 14.
10:47I came out in fifth grade.
10:50Well, it's a great story and a lot of people need to hear that story.
10:52How are you going to convey that on your book cover?
10:55I just want me on like a big, huge stage.
10:59I absolutely think people can learn something from my story and I might have a little bit more experience than
11:04other people give me credit for.
11:06All right, so get back to your makeup and make a real pretty cover.
11:10All right.
11:12Hey, Pandora.
11:13Hey.
11:14So what's the title of your book?
11:15Out of the Box.
11:16Hello.
11:16It's about discovering myself through dressing up like somebody else and really kind of finding your inner strength and not
11:23listening to that voice that says you're not good enough.
11:24There was a couple times that I tried to kill myself.
11:26Oh, honey.
11:27Was there a turning point?
11:29Through theater and discovering that I kind of felt people that were like me and that's why I discovered drag.
11:34And I started to come out of my shell and be more open and like myself more.
11:37So you can honestly say drag saved my life.
11:40Yes.
11:41I always think of you as the funny one, the Goldie Hawn of the group.
11:44And now it's interesting you tell me the story of the Dark Knight of the Soul.
11:48It adds depth to your character.
11:50I think that with a lot of people that are funny and a lot of comedians, there is some darkness
11:54that's there because that's what they use to combat that was their humor and their laughter.
12:01It's such a pleasure to meet you.
12:04I've read all your books.
12:07What's the title we have there?
12:09Memoirs of a Gay Chef.
12:11Jujubee's Journey and I'm Still Here.
12:13Jujubee's Journey and I'm Still Here.
12:16My target audience for my book is gay Asians.
12:20When you're a gay Asian male, they don't see you as that.
12:23They see you as a woman who was born into the wrong body.
12:25That's definitely not me.
12:26It basically starts out with my childhood, the discovery of my homosexuality.
12:30Wait a minute.
12:31Hold up.
12:31I know, right?
12:32Your homosexuality?
12:34I know, girl.
12:35And then I touch on, you know, like the loss of my father and then my move across America.
12:38How do you say fierce in that ocean?
12:41I would just say Juju.
12:43Juju.
12:44Juju.
12:46All right, ladies, for your main challenge, in addition to your book cover photo shoot,
12:52you'll be doing an interview with celebrity journalist Mark Malkin.
12:57This is a really great time for you to show off your charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.
13:01You'll also be judged on your ability to seamlessly work in plugs for your upcoming book as well as the
13:10Berry Acai Absolute Cocktail.
13:13The more you can plug your book and the Berry Acai, the better.
13:18Now, tomorrow on the main stage, our special guest judges will be two best-selling authors, Gigi Lavangie Grazier and
13:28the one and only Jackie Collins.
13:32Lucky, lucky, lucky bitches.
13:34Jackie Collins, are you serious?
13:36She embodies what a diva is.
13:39And to quote one of my favorite authors, don't fuck it up.
13:46The main challenge today is to take photos for the cover, all of our autobiography and do an interview.
13:52Tony.
13:53I'm Idris.
13:53Tyra.
13:54Nice to meet you.
13:55Tony.
13:55Hi, nice to meet you.
13:56What would you like to do today?
13:58Well, the title of my book is The Woman and Me.
14:00They're in charge.
14:00They're supposed to direct us and tell us their vision.
14:02It's not just about a dress, you know, or how the girl looks.
14:05They've got to commit to their concept.
14:08The concept is three pictures of me.
14:11Me holding on to the past, accepting the present, and looking towards the future.
14:18I don't know how the other girls are at photos, but I'm very photogenic.
14:24You're melting out of these lights.
14:26It was burning hot.
14:27All my makeup started sweating up.
14:28I was like, oh shit.
14:2930 seconds.
14:30Tyra is just, she was melting.
14:32If she were doing a workout book where you had to be sweating, then yeah, it would be great.
14:36I was thinking of taking the chest that's over there and having me coming out of it.
14:40All right, so that's good stuff.
14:41I want my book cover to be funny, and my concept is to have myself coming out of a box.
14:49Lust over me, bitches.
14:51Okay.
14:52All right, so what are we doing?
14:53One here, one here.
14:54Just think about your time.
14:55If you guys want to, like, face away, and then just kind of glancing over at me like, damn.
14:59Okay.
15:00All right.
15:02Now, how do you want them looking at you?
15:03Because right now they're kind of looking at you like you're crazy.
15:07No, like you want me.
15:09I can't look at the pit crew and direct them because I'm supposed to be looking at the
15:13camera.
15:14And they weren't very cooperative.
15:16So finally I was just like, get the hell away from me.
15:19Hello.
15:20Okay, I want to be sitting at a yard sale, but I want to sit in that pink chair.
15:24I knew my idea for my book cover.
15:26I'm at a yard sale.
15:27I've got to find this shit and get it together.
15:29I want the award, the radio, the bust, and then this phone right here.
15:35Hello.
15:35Hi.
15:36What's the idea for the book cover?
15:38I just want to look good.
15:39Whatever you want.
15:40Let's try to work this shit out.
15:42Okay.
15:42Thanks.
15:44That's mannish, isn't it?
15:45You look a little wide.
15:47Ooh.
15:50Jujubee could have used her time more wisely.
15:52She had extra minutes.
15:53You know, she came out with one prop, a fan in her hand, and half the time that fan was
15:57on the floor.
16:01What are you thinking about right now?
16:03About my dreams.
16:04It kind of looks like you're just standing there staring off, so you really have to
16:07think about all of your dreams and let that come out.
16:15I mean, why don't you think about something else, because it looks a little...
16:18All right.
16:19Oh, my God.
16:21This is not my challenge.
16:23I love doing things perfect, and I think I lost things from my hands, you know?
16:31What were your other ideas?
16:32What?
16:33You wanted to use some other props?
16:37She kind of came undefeated.
16:39And if you come undefeated, then you are defeated.
16:41Think about something that would pertain to your dreams.
16:45Can I take it?
16:46Yeah, of course.
16:46You can take anything you want from here.
16:51Nice.
16:52There you go.
16:52Leaving it.
16:58What is this?
16:59This thing is caught onto my dress, and I can't take my dress off.
17:03They have to stop my time.
17:04Immediately after the photo shoot, you have less than five minutes to change and get to
17:07the interview.
17:08Jessica.
17:08What?
17:09Is it okay if I put on your corset really quick?
17:11Yeah.
17:11Now I have more pressure.
17:12Now I have a bigger challenge.
17:14To know that I only have such and such amount of time, and I need to get this done.
17:19There was a lot that went into this challenge.
17:21Tatiana didn't change her costume at all.
17:23She went straight from her photo shoot to her interview.
17:25I didn't really see an effort in that.
17:26We need to talk about the book or about Drag Alive.
17:30The book and the alcohol is the main focus.
17:33The two really important things during the interview is that we have to pitch the book
17:36and the Berry Acai Absolute Vodka.
17:40How do you say that berry drink?
17:41Acai.
17:42Berry Acai.
17:44It's Acai.
17:46Acai.
17:47Acai.
17:48Acai.
17:49Acai.
17:49Acai.
17:50Guys, is it Berry Acai or Acai Berry?
17:53We're going to have an interview with celebrity reporter Mark Melkin.
17:56And as I sit down the seat and there's just a camera in front of me and they start to
17:59put the earpiece in, I realize this is a satellite interview.
18:02He's not going to be here.
18:04Oh my God.
18:05There's nobody here?
18:06And he can see me.
18:07But I can't see him.
18:08Hi Raven.
18:09Where's the guy at?
18:10What's going on?
18:11Is this via satellite?
18:12Via satellite.
18:13Why should you win RuPaul's Drag Race?
18:15Well first of all, I'm young, broke, and fabulous.
18:17My new book is going to hit stores soon.
18:19What's this new book?
18:20It's called Young, Broke, and Fabulous.
18:21I have the full package.
18:23I have personality, I have sense of style, and I have great big white teeth.
18:28Why are you better than the other girls?
18:29I'm better because I'm Jessica Wilde and I'm unique.
18:32Now with all these drag queens living together...
18:34Oh I love that.
18:36Absolute acai.
18:37Oh my God.
18:37So how many times have straight men hit on you?
18:40Every time I've gone out in drag, I've gotten hit on by a straight guy.
18:42Sometimes I'll be like, back it up, I'm a dude.
18:45If they're just giving a compliment, I just say thank you.
18:47So I must be doing something right.
18:50It's so exciting to be a part of RuPaul's Drag Race.
18:52It's almost as exciting as my new book, Out of the Box.
18:54The book is called The Woman and Me.
18:57I know how to love and how to give and celebrate like I am with this berry drink from Absolute.
19:01I just got finished writing a memoir, and I call it Memoirs of a Gay Sha.
19:06Where do you hide your candy?
19:07There's a lot of candy going on down here. It's not true what they say about Asians, honey.
19:12Every once in a while I'll have a cocktail.
19:13My drink of choice is the Berry Acai from Absolute.
19:17Do you always drink when you're doing media?
19:19No, it's my first time, but I love that drink.
19:21What kind of vodka is it?
19:22Berry Acai Vodka.
19:23Berry Absolute.
19:24Berry Acai.
19:25Tatiana, thank you for being here.
19:27Thank you, and let me tell you about this beverage.
19:28Good luck. Gotta go.
19:30The only thing I might have screwed up on is not mentioning the book.
19:33But everything else, I felt like I was on point.
19:36Jessica, thanks for being here.
19:38Thanks, and I have my new book.
19:40What was that?
19:41The name is Jessica Weil, The Dreams of a Golden Child.
19:47Fantastic. Thanks, Jessica. Good luck.
19:50I love that drink.
19:54Hola, hola.
19:56How your hooves be, Juju?
19:58How's the legendary?
20:00Yesterday, we had to read each other.
20:02I actually like all of the queens that are here, and to read them, you kind of have to make
20:06fun of them.
20:07I'm sure everyone's had a little inkling of their feelings hurt.
20:10If anyone was offended, I'm sorry that I spoke the truth.
20:14I wasn't offended.
20:15If you can't laugh at yourself, then go home.
20:18It's hard to talk shit about flawlessness.
20:22Since Morgan's been gone, Raven all of a sudden decides she wants to blossom, verbally.
20:26Tatiana, did you just not want to do it?
20:28No, I just couldn't stop laughing.
20:30These sparkling 30 years that she's got behind her, there's just so much there that she just can't hold it
20:34in.
20:35She's just got to spread it.
20:37Like, Tatiana froze and didn't read anyone, really.
20:39Do you think they're going to look at her and be like, what's going on, girl?
20:41Raven might have been trying to rattle my cage.
20:43I think that she's been hoping that I go from day one.
20:47How did you do in your interview?
20:49I did well.
20:49I didn't drop a book.
20:51I got the drink and I just completely forgot about the book.
20:54Tatiana's an airhead.
20:55She should have been in the bottom two last week.
20:57All she's been doing the past couple weeks is this.
21:00Just my opinion.
21:13Cut the girl.
21:14Put the bass in your walk.
21:17Head to toe.
21:18Let your whole body talk.
21:21And what?
21:24Hello, judges.
21:25Hey, Rue.
21:26Hey, Santino.
21:27Hey, Rue.
21:28How are you tonight?
21:28We're going to have a great show.
21:30We are.
21:31Now, Merle, are you ready to hear from our budding authors?
21:34I'm very, very excited.
21:36Gigi.
21:37Hi, Rue.
21:37Hi, darling.
21:38Now, your most recent novel, Queen Takes King.
21:41Maybe after tonight you can write a sequel.
21:44Queen Takes Queen?
21:45Yeah.
21:45Okay.
21:46Co-write it.
21:47Done.
21:48Done and done.
21:49And my buddy Jackie Collins is here.
21:52Hi, darling.
21:53Hi, darling.
21:54I love the title of your new book, Poor Little Bitch Girl.
21:59That's great.
22:00I should have dedicated it to you.
22:02You should have.
22:03An absolute image czar.
22:06The exceptional Jeffrey Moran.
22:08Hello, darling.
22:09All right.
22:09Inspired by my new book, Work In It.
22:12RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style.
22:16This week, the ladies were challenged to pitch us their autobiography,
22:21design a book cover, and field questions from an entertainment reporter.
22:26Tonight, they're dressed to the nines for their book launch party.
22:29Judges, are you ready to take a look?
22:31Ready.
22:32Ready.
22:32Gentlemen, start your engines, and may the best woman win.
22:41Tyra Sanchez, the other Tyra.
22:44The dress that I chose is very skin-tight.
22:46You can actually see the shape of my body.
22:48Is Jennifer Lopez missing something?
22:49She is missing something, and she'll never get it back.
22:53I know the judges look forward to me transforming my look.
22:56Oh, yes.
22:58Style proper, Sanchez.
23:03No, she didn't.
23:04Poor little bitch girl.
23:06I'm glad my boyfriend's not here.
23:07I would have just lost him on that one.
23:11Jujubee.
23:12Now, Gigi, is this a starter wife?
23:14That's the finisher wife.
23:16Oh.
23:16I don't think anyone would ever leave that.
23:18Oh.
23:18I always make eye contact with every single judge.
23:21It's like the complete opposite of shade.
23:23It's the hey, hey, hey look.
23:25Oh, yes.
23:26Tatiana.
23:27Ooh, it's a jailbreak.
23:29You know, they say never wear horizontal stripes unless you're Tatiana.
23:32I'm not really super glammed out like the other girls,
23:35but I'm thinking I look really good.
23:39Pandora box.
23:41Oh, darling, yes.
23:43She's full of surprises.
23:45I'm going down the runway and I'm thinking glamour,
23:48but you know, there's still that element of fun.
23:50If Courtney Love looked like a woman.
23:52Yes.
23:52Yes, yes, yes.
23:54Jessica Wilde.
23:55Now she looks like a heroine from one of my books.
23:58Which one, Jackie?
23:58Lucky Santangelo.
23:59Jessica Santangelo.
24:01Today is my party.
24:03I love that dress.
24:04Jessica Wilde from Puerto Rico.
24:07Raven.
24:09Oh, darling.
24:11That's so not Raven.
24:14I decided to go with something a little more super glam.
24:17I feel like I should be in Greek mythology and they should write a story about me.
24:21A star is born again.
24:24She has a politician lover on the side.
24:26Disco scandalous.
24:28Hello, ladies.
24:29My Valley of the Dolls.
24:32Tyra Sanchez.
24:33Let's take a look at your book cover.
24:36Oh, okay.
24:37What's it about?
24:38My past, how I held onto it for so long and held grudges against people.
24:42I was a very, very mean, arrogant bitch.
24:46And the problem with that is...
24:48Let's take a look at your satellite interview where we asked you to promote not only your book and yourself,
24:54but also the Absolute Berry Asahi Cocktail.
24:57I know how to love and how to give and celebrate like I am with this berry drink from Absolute.
25:03You didn't incorporate the Asahi part of it.
25:06I'd rather not fuck up the last ending of the name.
25:08If you're going to be paid by a corporation, you should probably figure out how to say the name.
25:11I'm not thrilled with the cover of the book.
25:14I felt it was a little busy, but I love the concept.
25:17I was very happy to see that you took it so seriously.
25:21Jujubee, let's take a look at your book cover.
25:23Memoirs of a Geisha, Jujubee's Journey, I'm Still Here.
25:27I just want to show people that you can go through things, take that negative energy, turn it around and
25:32use it to live.
25:33It's a lesson.
25:34Love the title.
25:35I'm very big on titles.
25:37My new book is called Poor Little Bitch Girl.
25:39But that is a great title.
25:41I think you'll attract not only a gay audience with that title,
25:44but with a straight audience who's interested in reading about your life's experiences, especially coming from an Asian family.
25:49It reminds us of a great book already, so that was very clever thinking.
25:54There's a lot of candy going on down here.
25:56It's not true what they say about Asians, honey.
25:58By the way, I know a number of big Hollywood moguls who would like to take you out if you're
26:03ever available.
26:07Tatiana, you're giving this not gel break, but gel bait look.
26:11Let's take a look at your book cover.
26:14Ooh, superstar.
26:16My book is about becoming a drag queen at 14, dealing with the backlash from that, but still going forward
26:22and not letting anyone stop me.
26:23Now, where was that person when you walked down the runway?
26:26I'm a little worried about your confidence level.
26:28This dress.
26:29It could be three stripes shorter.
26:32Shorter.
26:33Yeah.
26:33Okay.
26:34I'm giving up on trying to figure out what's short enough and what's long enough, because...
26:39It's just slightly too long, and it's starting to kind of give a more Morticia Adams look to it.
26:45Straight men love to hit on me.
26:47Every time I've gone out in drag, I've gotten hit on by a straight guy, so I must be doing
26:50something right.
26:51Tatiana, thank you for being here.
26:52Thank you, and let me tell you about this beverage.
26:55Unfortunately, you did not mention the name of the book.
26:57Maybe it's fortunate, because I'm not crazy about the title of the book.
27:00Tatty.
27:01Tatty, because tatty, I mean, can be T-A-T-T-Y.
27:04That's an English word that means kind of not great.
27:07If that's the way you squeeze in the cocktail, we might have had a fight in the car on the
27:10way to the next interview.
27:12Thanks, Tatiana.
27:14Hello, Pandora.
27:15Hello, RuPaul.
27:16Oh, boy, you got to use the pit crew.
27:18My book is about how drag taught me to gain self-confidence.
27:22Pandora, if you're wearing this to be glamorous, it's not working for me.
27:26This fabric is plain with glamour, but plain with, like, funny glamour.
27:30If you're going to look like a coke whore, take the joke even further.
27:33What kind of vodka is it?
27:35It's berry acai vodka.
27:36Missing my brand.
27:37That was tough for me.
27:38Pandora box.
27:39What do you have to say for yourself?
27:42I just want to say that my book, Out of the Box, How Drag Saved My Life, is now available
27:47online and in stores.
27:49Jessica Wilde.
27:50Can we see your book?
27:52Oh, wow.
27:52Look at that.
27:53The cover looks like the cover of a book like a nine-year-old girl would buy.
27:57It could be a little more sophisticated.
27:59Now, with all these drag queens living together.
28:01Oh, I love that.
28:02Absolute acai.
28:03Oh, my God.
28:05The name is Jessica Wilde.
28:09The dreams of a golden child.
28:13Your interview got into, like, train wreck territory.
28:16Down there, it sounded like dreams of a golden shower.
28:19Do you know what that is?
28:20No.
28:21If you don't know what a golden shower is, it's very naive.
28:24However, I like the cover.
28:26It's a little pretentious to have an Oscar on the front of it because, who knows?
28:31I'm not crazy about the cover.
28:33I feel like you could use some of that Jessica Wilde imagination and make a bigger splash with that cover.
28:37The interview was basically so bad that I wouldn't change a thing.
28:43Now, Jeffrey, you got your product in there a lot.
28:46Yeah.
28:46It was a little too sloppy.
28:47I would probably have fired in the car on the way home from that interview.
28:52Raven, darling, I love your fro.
28:55It was straight earlier, but it's so humid back there.
28:58Let's see your book.
29:00Oh.
29:01I've come from so many broken things.
29:03Broken family, broken home, broken relationships.
29:06This is showing how to find your inner strength.
29:09Why should you win RuPaul's Drag Race?
29:11Well, first of all, I'm young, broke, and fabulous.
29:14Young, broke, and fabulous.
29:15Young, broke, and fabulous.
29:17Well, I am extremely impressed.
29:20Do you know how many times you said the title?
29:22Even I have trouble.
29:24I do do it sometimes, but that was really great.
29:27And you did it with style.
29:28You brought it right in, right at the beginning of the interview.
29:30I love that.
29:31Good for you.
29:32You're so sultry.
29:33I feel like you could teach me how to be more of a woman.
29:35I think you could teach me how to be more of a woman.
29:37I don't think so.
29:38I'm a man in a dress.
29:43Thank you, ladies.
29:44While you enjoy an absolute cocktail in the Interior Illusions Lounge, the judges and I will deliberate.
29:52Let's start with Tyra Sanchez.
29:54I like the title of her book, The Woman in Me.
29:58One of the best dresses we've seen this season.
30:00I like the book and I like that she revealed a little bit because we don't see a lot of
30:04vulnerability in her.
30:06Jujubee.
30:07I thought she was dynamite.
30:08She had a fantastic personality.
30:10She came across as really alive and bright.
30:13Very, very bright.
30:14I like her a lot.
30:15I think she probably crossed over the good taste line, but we could have probably lived with that.
30:19Tatiana.
30:20It did look like she was part of a chain gang.
30:22I'm sorry, I could get over the dress.
30:23It just went on and on and on and I thought it was hideous.
30:26It looked like olive oil.
30:28I didn't pick up any confidence from her whatsoever.
30:31Pandora Box.
30:32You know, she's been consistent in her ability to just be a real player, but she doesn't take it to
30:38that next level.
30:39She looks like a girl that's just stepped off the Greyhound bus and quickly turned into a coke whore.
30:43That sounds like a book I'd read.
30:45And Jackie's written it.
30:46Yeah, I'm getting it.
30:48Jessica Wilde.
30:49Title of the book wasn't right.
30:50I mean, she was hilarious, but not on purpose.
30:53But this is kind of a serious thing and it's like you really have to step up to the plate
30:57or the dance floor as it were.
30:59This is branding.
30:59Clearly, Jessica did not understand the intricacies of that.
31:04Raven.
31:04She showed this great personality and the hair was fantastic, the dress, the book.
31:09Yeah.
31:09Young, broke and fabulous.
31:10Yeah.
31:10Not young, not broke, but fabulous.
31:13There's a lack of vulnerability though in Raven.
31:16And there is such a thing as overselling.
31:18You know, she needs to practice some restraint.
31:20Alright then.
31:21Silence.
31:23Bring back the girls.
31:25I have made my decision.
31:28Welcome back ladies.
31:30You are all my heroes.
31:31And you know that I know what it took for each of you to get here tonight.
31:37So no matter what happens, you are champions.
31:41Tyra Sanchez.
31:43The next track superstar needs to be consistently dynamic.
31:48You're safe.
31:52Jujubee.
31:53Jujubee.
31:53You had a sit geisha.
31:56You're safe.
32:00Tatiana.
32:01You're young and talented.
32:03But you fumbled your interview.
32:05And you came to the main stage dressed like a referee.
32:10I'm sorry my dear, you are up for elimination.
32:13When I find out that I'm in the bottom two, my mouth goes completely dry.
32:17I'm not ready to go home.
32:19Pandora box.
32:21The judges were not absolutely impressed.
32:26You're safe.
32:29Raven, what can I say?
32:31You're young, broke and fabulous.
32:34And you are the winner of this week's challenge.
32:37Congratulations, Raven.
32:38You've won a glamorous shopping spree at the legendary house of LA iWorks.
32:43I finally won a fucking challenge.
32:45And it was a big win to me.
32:50Jessica, you went wild in your interview.
32:53But your cover did not snatch any trophies from the judges.
32:57I'm sorry my dear, you are up for elimination.
33:02I need to win this because I don't think that I did a bad job for going back home today.
33:07Two queens stand before me.
33:10Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
33:19The time has come to lip sync for your life.
33:27Good luck and don't fuck it up.
33:52I'm watching them perform and I see Jessica's doing a little bit too much for me.
33:57This is my last chance. I have to win the lip sync.
34:01I want the world.
34:01I want the world.
34:02I really wasn't caring.
34:04But I felt my eyes staring at a guy who stuck out in the crowd.
34:10He had the kind of body that would shame Madonna's.
34:14And a face that would make any man proud.
34:17Tatiana starts doing her thing just being very sensual and sexy.
34:21It was amazing.
34:46Ladies, I have made my decision.
34:49Tatiana.
34:50Tatiana.
34:52Shantae, you stay.
34:55I was in pure shock.
34:57I thought I might have misheard.
35:00Keep playing with me.
35:04Thank you, Tatiana.
35:05Thank you, Tatiana.
35:05Let me join the other girls.
35:07Thank you so much.
35:15Jessica, follow your wildest dreams, my golden child.
35:21Now, sashay away.
35:25Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
35:34I'm very proud of myself.
35:36Be here is one of my dreams.
35:37I made my dreams come true.
35:40I'm a winner.
35:42Amo a Puerto Rico.
35:44And to my five remaining queens,
35:49remember, if you can't love yourself,
35:51how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
35:54Can I get a whoop whoop?
35:58Let the music play.
