00:00:02Fannie the Hard Knock Ball
00:00:03Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race,
00:00:05you'll be acting in the russical,
00:00:07Fannie the Hard Knock Ball.
00:00:09I'll see you next Tuesday.
00:00:11You're only a wink away.
00:00:18Juicy love Dion.
00:00:20You were wonderful.
00:00:21You just got a little out shown.
00:00:23Athena Dion.
00:00:24There were some moments that you were just
00:00:26kind of reading what was on the script.
00:00:27Jane, don't.
00:00:28There was physical comedy.
00:00:30There's choreography in there.
00:00:32Congratulations.
00:00:33You're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:00:36Juicy love Dion.
00:00:38Athena Dion.
00:00:40I'm sorry, my dears,
00:00:41but you were both up for elimination.
00:00:44Juicy love Dion.
00:00:46Shantae you stay.
00:00:49Athena.
00:00:50Sashay away.
00:01:04We are back in the workroom and we're missing a huge presence.
00:01:08Athena Dion has left the building.
00:01:12Ladies, remember the cage you're trapped in,
00:01:15you built yourself.
00:01:18Juicy.
00:01:19Bring it home.
00:01:22Love you forever.
00:01:23All of you.
00:01:24Athena Dion.
00:01:26Knowing Athena at this point,
00:01:28if she needs to go out,
00:01:29it's better with family.
00:01:31Someone that she loves.
00:01:32And for y'all to share such a beautiful moment.
00:01:34Oh my God.
00:01:36That last line really just got me.
00:01:38You know, I'm always on your side,
00:01:40so don't ever be a stranger.
00:01:43Athena's like no other.
00:01:44I feel like a better queen for knowing her.
00:01:48Can I teach you guys a little Greek
00:01:49to send off Athena?
00:01:51Yes.
00:01:51Yes, please.
00:01:53Sagapopoli means I love you very much.
00:01:56Sagapopoli.
00:01:57Enronia pola, Athena.
00:01:59To many more years,
00:02:00I love you with all my heart,
00:02:01and I'm going to miss you in this competition.
00:02:04To Athena Dion.
00:02:07I'm grateful to still be in this competition,
00:02:10regardless of the fact
00:02:11that I just had to send a close friend home.
00:02:13I definitely feel a shift in the air.
00:02:15I'm now standing alone
00:02:18as the only person from my drag family still here.
00:02:20So I got to represent.
00:02:23I want to make her proud.
00:02:24Make everyone in Miami proud.
00:02:26At this point, I think make yourself proud.
00:02:28It's like, fuck trying to please all these other people.
00:02:30Yeah.
00:02:31Do what the fuck you want to do,
00:02:33because you're a fucking star.
00:02:34I think that Juicy is used to doing
00:02:38what Athena says to do.
00:02:40And hopefully, now she can really push herself
00:02:46more than she has been.
00:02:48Congrats to our winner!
00:02:50Yay!
00:02:52Win number two!
00:02:53You've been very close every week,
00:02:55and now after what was your last one was, what,
00:02:58eight weeks ago, nine weeks ago?
00:02:59Shit.
00:03:00You've been very close every time,
00:03:02and now you're finally back.
00:03:03I was having moments of, like,
00:03:05had I just sort of plateaued.
00:03:07So I feel great.
00:03:08I feel affirmed.
00:03:09I feel like I'm on the right track.
00:03:11But speaking of...
00:03:13How do you...
00:03:14Yeah!
00:03:15I want to make you proud!
00:03:16I want to make you proud!
00:03:18You didn't squabble this opportunity.
00:03:20I know you didn't!
00:03:20Miss Mikey, you were also very much in the top.
00:03:23Your voice is insane.
00:03:25Like, you should just feel so proud of yourself.
00:03:28They said some pretty amazing things,
00:03:30and feel galvanized.
00:03:32Kenya, I feel galvanized.
00:03:33What are you going to say?
00:03:34It's galvanized!
00:03:35Speaking of Kenya...
00:03:36Kenya, Kenya!
00:03:37Can I have another time?
00:03:39Kenya!
00:03:40I finally can feel galvanized for real.
00:03:42Yes!
00:03:43Bitch, I finally add validity to the fucking word, bitch.
00:03:46Yes!
00:03:47I got my fucking life this week.
00:03:48Good.
00:03:49You could not have asked for any more perfect challenge
00:03:51for me to show them what I fucking had.
00:03:55And if you want to take a trip to Discord land,
00:03:57I don't think I was on the bottom now.
00:04:00I don't think I was on the top.
00:04:01I don't think I was on the top.
00:04:03I think I was just...
00:04:03Safe, safe.
00:04:05Come on, girl.
00:04:07I'm not the judge.
00:04:08It's not my opinion that matters.
00:04:09Discord, I thought it was your time tonight.
00:04:10Same.
00:04:11I just thought, Juicy, you were going to be safe.
00:04:13I thought it would be between you and Athena.
00:04:15That's not what happened.
00:04:17I would say that my confidence is my biggest strength.
00:04:20It has gotten me all the way here.
00:04:22It has kept me in the top in my head.
00:04:25So as long as I keep this delusional Discord train running,
00:04:29I think I'll make it all the way to the end.
00:04:32Y'all, we are at a motherfucking top seven.
00:04:35Wow.
00:04:37Wow.
00:04:37We've eliminated half the girls.
00:04:39This is half the cast.
00:04:41What the...
00:04:42Wait a fucking minute, bitch.
00:04:43Wait.
00:04:43So we started with 14.
00:04:45Uh-huh.
00:04:46And seven went home.
00:04:47Uh-huh.
00:04:48Uh-huh.
00:04:48Then it's seven of us left.
00:04:49Yeah.
00:04:50So now, bitches, half of them.
00:04:52Yeah!
00:04:53Oh!
00:04:54Yeah!
00:04:55Oh, man!
00:04:56If there is a moment where Darlene is about to come out, baby, it is the top seven.
00:05:03I just am desperately feeling like I need to show up, and I need a win.
00:05:09Oh, Miss Shenanigans, can you unzip me?
00:05:12It is time for the girls to start packing.
00:05:15We gotta get these numbers down.
00:05:17Oh!
00:05:18It was like a fucking can of biscuits.
00:05:23The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and a cash
00:05:32prize of $200,000, courtesy of RuPaul's Drag Race Match Queen, with extra special guest judge Iman.
00:05:40RuPaul's Drag Race is the best check we win, check we win.
00:05:51Good morning.
00:05:52Good morning.
00:05:53Good morning.
00:05:54Wow.
00:05:54It is a new day in the workroom, and being the top seven, that's crazy.
00:05:59Especially with this cast.
00:06:01I'm ready to show the judges what this big-ass, big-titty girl has.
00:06:06Is this the top seven we thought was gonna happen?
00:06:09I feel like from the beginning, I was like, I don't know if Darlene's gonna last very long.
00:06:14Okay.
00:06:15And y'all surprises at every turn.
00:06:17We have given Darlene shit for the crazy shit she packed, and yet, she has saved our-
00:06:22Everyone!
00:06:24Every challenge, because every challenge you were like, fuck, I need big red shoes.
00:06:28Who's got them?
00:06:29Like, no!
00:06:31Hello, hello, hello.
00:06:34Hi.
00:06:35Ooh.
00:06:37My queen.
00:06:38Hi.
00:06:39In the spirit of open communication and sisterly love, for today's mini-challenge, the library is about to be open.
00:06:49That's right.
00:06:51Because reading is what?
00:06:52Fundamental!
00:06:54That's right.
00:06:55Oh, pit crew!
00:06:58Hi, Thor.
00:07:00Hi, Thor.
00:07:01God of Thunder.
00:07:02Why, thank you so much.
00:07:04Lovely.
00:07:05Say bye to Chris.
00:07:07Bye, Chris.
00:07:07Bye, Chris.
00:07:08Yes, S.
00:07:09All right, first up, Darlene Mitchell.
00:07:13Come on, Darlene.
00:07:14Darlene, the library is open.
00:07:17Nene Coco.
00:07:18Taking a look at her drag closet, it's kind of like a good old church potluck.
00:07:22Lots of variety, but no flavor.
00:07:25Ooh.
00:07:27Darlene's getting spicy.
00:07:29The good girl's going bad.
00:07:31Miss Kenya Pleaser.
00:07:33I've heard she's a religious woman, and apparently so are her heels because they are staying up on faith and
00:07:40prayer.
00:07:42What's the difference between Darlene and a computer? Computers actually have gigs.
00:07:50Jane, don't. On the runway, you are always dripping in rhinestones. We call her a vajazzle because that is the
00:07:57technical term for rhinestones on a cunt.
00:08:00Oh!
00:08:03Didn't see that coming.
00:08:05Darlene Mitchell. Her name is so white, when I stood next to her, my credit score went up 100 points.
00:08:11Nene Coco. The forever twink that got access to free cable and watercolors in the psych ward.
00:08:18Uh-oh.
00:08:23Juicy Love Beyond is what happens when you dismantle the Department of Education.
00:08:28Jane, don't.
00:08:29If you want to watch Jane spiral, tell her you like her.
00:08:32Yeah.
00:08:32Tell her she's funny.
00:08:33Tell her she's smart.
00:08:37Discord's reads are a little dry, just like Nene told us that tongue was.
00:08:42Kenya Pleaser.
00:08:43Kenya, you remind me of my favorite Wizard of Oz character.
00:08:47The Brick Road.
00:08:48Oh!
00:08:51Nene has a face only a mother could love.
00:08:53That mother being Casey Anthony.
00:08:55Oh!
00:08:56Oh, my God!
00:08:58Jane, don't, is on an all-sex diet.
00:09:01She has sex to lose weight.
00:09:02She's gained 18 pounds.
00:09:06Oh!
00:09:08Nene Coco.
00:09:09Out of drag, you look like someone Jane would beat up and steal their lunch money.
00:09:13And in drag, you look like a mechanical engineer.
00:09:17Damn.
00:09:18Okay, I tried.
00:09:19I tried.
00:09:19I really tried.
00:09:20Mikey Meeks.
00:09:21Everyone says you look like Arya Stark from Game of Thrones, but I think you look more like
00:09:25Peter Dinklage.
00:09:28Damn.
00:09:29No laughs.
00:09:30You know that, you know.
00:09:34Discord Adams.
00:09:35Judging from your runway walk, you really are part of the Adams family.
00:09:39Lurch.
00:09:40Mikey Meeks.
00:09:42Out of drag, you look like a beautiful butch lesbian.
00:09:45And in drag, you look like her less attractive girlfriend.
00:09:48Oh!
00:09:50Kenya Pleaser.
00:09:51It's safe to say that Kenya Pleaser is one of the most talented girls in this competition.
00:09:57It's not true, but it's safe.
00:10:03Okay, the library is closed officially.
00:10:06Ladies, you are all illiterate.
00:10:11The winner of today's mini challenge is...
00:10:14Mikey Meeks.
00:10:17I win the reading challenge.
00:10:20I may look nice, but this tongue is sharp.
00:10:23Condragulations.
00:10:24You've won a cash prize of $2,500.
00:10:27I love you.
00:10:28I promise.
00:10:29I love you.
00:10:30My queens.
00:10:32Sadly, Didi Fuego, Mandy Mango, Briar Blush, Sierra Mist, Vita Vonti Star, Mia Star, and Athena Dion have all been
00:10:43eliminated.
00:10:45But that doesn't mean they can't come back to haunt you.
00:10:49No.
00:10:50Do not prank those girls back in this competition.
00:10:53I can't take it.
00:10:54What the fuck?
00:10:55Please welcome back to the competition...
00:11:02The suitcases left behind by your eliminated sisters.
00:11:06Whoo!
00:11:08Whoo!
00:11:09Thank God.
00:11:10I'm gonna have to call air traffic control about this.
00:11:13The white zone is for loading and unloading only.
00:11:17How about I get a ticket?
00:11:18Ladykins, before traveling here, we asked all 14 of you to pack materials that you could fashion into a runway
00:11:27look.
00:11:28Now, here's the twist.
00:11:30Each of these stylish away suitcases belongs to a queen who has sashayed away.
00:11:38For this week's maxi challenge, you need to use one of your eliminated sisters' materials to create a festive look
00:11:46that says,
00:11:47party.
00:11:50Honestly, this is great for me.
00:11:52A lot of the sewing girls have been set packing, so I'm like,
00:11:57okay, maybe it's win number three.
00:12:01Now, Mikey, you won the mini challenge, so you need to pick first.
00:12:07Mikey, who do you choose?
00:12:08I'm gonna go for my sister, Ryer Blush.
00:12:12I wanna make you proud.
00:12:13I'm gonna make you proud.
00:12:16And now, Mikey, you get to choose which queen chooses next.
00:12:20Kenya, you get to pick next.
00:12:21Oh, thank you.
00:12:23I pick Kenya next because she was in the bottom for the last design challenge, and I can't give Jane
00:12:29another win.
00:12:30I'm gonna go with Vita Von Teese Star.
00:12:33Vita, Vita, Vita.
00:12:34We won a Vita!
00:12:37Kenya, who goes next?
00:12:38I will choose Juicy.
00:12:41I'm gonna go for my good TT Mia store.
00:12:46I like all kinds of guys.
00:12:48JLD, who goes next?
00:12:51Miss Jane, don't.
00:12:53I choose Sierra Mist.
00:12:56Who goes next?
00:12:58Darlene, go on ahead.
00:12:59Mother Athena Dion.
00:13:01I own the moon because I like the shot.
00:13:03Athena had been dubbed the dragiest drag queen on the main stage, and I just really trust what's in there
00:13:10is for me.
00:13:11Darlene, who goes next?
00:13:13NeNe.
00:13:13Okay, NeNe, whose baggage do you claim?
00:13:18Can I have my luggage?
00:13:21Is that an option?
00:13:22I'm gonna go for Didi Fuego.
00:13:25I'm not your cup of tea, okay, I'm tequila.
00:13:28Which means Discord has inherited Mandy Mango's baggage.
00:13:33A literal table.
00:13:34That's cool.
00:13:37If what Mandy wore was any indication of what she packed, I don't think this is gonna be pretty for
00:13:42old Discord.
00:13:43All right, Lady Gens, you can use your own hair, undergarments, and accessories.
00:13:49But the rest of your party look needs to come from the materials packed inside your Away suitcases.
00:13:57And remember, even though you'll be using another queen's material, your final look needs to be all you.
00:14:05Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
00:14:09I'm gonna miss my fight.
00:14:10You got fried chicken here.
00:14:13Let's see what's in our suitcase, sister.
00:14:16Whoa!
00:14:18Oh, thank God.
00:14:21Okay, yellow.
00:14:24Sierra, if there was ever a moment that I needed you to be almost over-prepared for every single aspect
00:14:29of the show, now is it.
00:14:32Bitch, it's a fabric store.
00:14:34I knew it.
00:14:35I knew my good sis, Sierra.
00:14:38I'm looking around, everybody else seems to have, like, a few pieces of fabric and some trim and whatever, but
00:14:43I'm like, I have a lot of fabric.
00:14:45Oh, my goodness.
00:14:47We have stretched velvet in the building, bitch.
00:14:49Zebra.
00:14:50Okay.
00:14:50Yes.
00:14:51Mama.
00:14:53Wait, is that it?
00:14:55That's it?
00:14:57That's it?
00:14:57Girl.
00:14:59Athena!
00:15:01This is not what I expected from Athena.
00:15:03I wish I could go back in time and leave that suitcase on the end.
00:15:07Don't let me down, Briar.
00:15:09Don't let me down.
00:15:11Well, it's a very...
00:15:12It's a very subdued party.
00:15:14I fear Briar may have squabbled this opportunity.
00:15:17I picked my sister, Briar Blush, because we have similar aesthetic points, but I see a sea of navy.
00:15:26Not my favorite colors to work with, but at least I have something to work with.
00:15:31All right, that's what I want to wear to a party.
00:15:32You know what I'm saying?
00:15:34What is this?
00:15:35There's hot glue on it.
00:15:37Oh.
00:15:38A terrible realization sets in.
00:15:41Oh, it's cut up.
00:15:42It's cut up.
00:15:43Sierra.
00:15:44Sierra!
00:15:45Every piece of fabric has giant holes in it.
00:15:50Some of it has hot glue all over it.
00:15:53There's a hairnet in here.
00:15:55What the fuck?
00:15:57Sierra has given me complete garbage.
00:16:01This is a remnant sale.
00:16:03I was like, oh my God, there's so much fabric.
00:16:05Bitch, what the fuck?
00:16:06No way.
00:16:06She gave you scraps.
00:16:07All of them are scraps.
00:16:08That's crazy.
00:16:09The whole thing.
00:16:09Oh my God.
00:16:12A minute ago, I had the highest hopes.
00:16:15And now this is DEFCON 5.
00:16:18Worst case scenario.
00:16:19I genuinely don't know if I have enough fabric to make a dress.
00:16:26She already made me a bow.
00:16:27Our challenge this week, we have to make party dresses with the leftover materials provided by the eliminated queens.
00:16:35I hate this fabric.
00:16:37The yellow?
00:16:37Well, this specific one.
00:16:39It's got the orange shift in it.
00:16:40I just think it looks like a duck.
00:16:42Are we allowed to have a drag swap?
00:16:44No.
00:16:45No.
00:16:45No.
00:16:46We're not, honey.
00:16:47I am frustrated with what is in this suitcase.
00:16:4912 yards of non-stretched zebra.
00:16:53Two giant appliques, black and white.
00:16:56And maybe three yards of spandex.
00:16:59How are my yellow shoes going to go in?
00:17:01You can't use bananas.
00:17:03So, body contrast and a 12-yard zebra train.
00:17:08Let's go.
00:17:10How do you feel about your stuff, Meanie?
00:17:12I actually feel pretty good about it.
00:17:13This is cool.
00:17:14The color story that she brought is so good.
00:17:17Yeah.
00:17:18And this honestly has a bunch of inspiration printed all over it.
00:17:22I get into Dee Dee's suitcase and it's just this beautiful print.
00:17:25Sometimes you gotta let the fabric speak for itself.
00:17:27This fashion illustration fabric, that needs to be the thing that I prioritize in this design.
00:17:33I'm gonna try to sketch a few things.
00:17:35I won the first design challenge and I take a lot of pride in my ability to make all my
00:17:40own looks.
00:17:41And I have a shot at the win.
00:17:43Reduce, reuse, recycle, honey.
00:17:45What is wrong with her?
00:17:47I knew I shouldn't have trusted a bitch that wakes up at 7am.
00:17:51I feel reasonably certain that this was a strategic decision.
00:17:56Most of the girls in the room suspected we might be switching materials.
00:18:01This is Drag Race.
00:18:02They're probably not just going to have us bring the materials to make a dress that we have a plan
00:18:07for.
00:18:08Where's the fun in that?
00:18:08You know what?
00:18:09I'm glad I put you last in the Raider Queen.
00:18:11Deserved.
00:18:12If I would have gotten a Sierra's suitcase, I'm going off the record.
00:18:17I would have left.
00:18:18I would have said, thank you so much for this opportunity.
00:18:21This bitch has fucked me over.
00:18:22Wait, we could all kind of like fit inside it.
00:18:25Oh my God, yes!
00:18:26No, I swear to God, I'm gonna lose my fucking mind.
00:18:29This is a fashion moment.
00:18:31Probably the best remaining seamstress now has no fabric.
00:18:36Oh, man.
00:18:39Hey, ladykins!
00:18:41Hello!
00:18:42Are you bitches in stitches?
00:18:45Yes, we are.
00:18:47Jane, don't. Come on over.
00:18:49Yay!
00:18:52So, Jane, what do you have here?
00:18:56Sierra graciously packed fabric with huge holes in them.
00:19:00Okay.
00:19:01So I am sort of starting at square negative three.
00:19:03Okay.
00:19:04Because I am basically going to have to construct a textile so that I have enough fabric to use.
00:19:10You chose Sierra Miss.
00:19:11I did.
00:19:12Why did you choose her?
00:19:13Well, Sierra's approach to this competition was very, like, prepared.
00:19:16She really seemed to have a plan for everything.
00:19:19Clearly the plan was sabotage!
00:19:22You won last week.
00:19:24Do you feel this target on your head?
00:19:26Yeah, absolutely.
00:19:28I don't think everybody's upset to see me working at a disadvantage.
00:19:32You know what I mean?
00:19:33I love that tattoo of the Divine Miss M.
00:19:36How long have you had that?
00:19:37I've had her a couple of years.
00:19:39I feel like she really did her own thing.
00:19:41You know, she was working in the Continental Baths.
00:19:43And she was, like, kind of this punk rock, like, screaming, like, drag queen.
00:19:47And somehow she managed to parlay that into, you know, becoming a woman my mom loves.
00:19:53Uh-huh.
00:19:53And I love that idea of, like, the ultimate outsider who finds her way inside the castle.
00:19:59Sure.
00:19:59Is that your story?
00:20:00I hope so.
00:20:01I'm extremely hard on myself.
00:20:02Mm-hmm.
00:20:02And I think I've spent a lot of the time here doing really, really well
00:20:07and still feeling like it wasn't good enough.
00:20:10And I think I...
00:20:11What is that about?
00:20:12I don't know.
00:20:13What payoff do you get from that?
00:20:15I don't... there isn't any.
00:20:16It doesn't serve you.
00:20:17It doesn't. No.
00:20:18Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:18And I know that.
00:20:19So I'm... that's... that's... that's what I'm trying to work on a little bit.
00:20:22Well, I believe in you.
00:20:24I believe in you.
00:20:25Rue is far more confident than I am that I'm going to be able to pull this off.
00:20:29I think this is gonna be gorgeous.
00:20:31Thank you so much.
00:20:32All right.
00:20:32She is so used to me doing well that she doesn't seem to process that I'm like,
00:20:38no, I'm really fucked.
00:20:41Kenya Pleaser.
00:20:42Welcome.
00:20:43Hi, Kenya.
00:20:45So now the last time we had a design challenge, it didn't quite work out the way you wanted
00:20:50it to.
00:20:51No.
00:20:51Kenya, you are up for elimination.
00:20:55How are you going to avoid lip syncing this week?
00:20:59Rue, I'm going to try to sew my little fat ass off, girl.
00:21:03Wait a minute.
00:21:03That's what you said the last time.
00:21:08What do you have there?
00:21:09Rue, you are looking at a puff sleeve bell bottom jumpsuit.
00:21:14Uh-huh.
00:21:14I want to go to like a disco party.
00:21:16A jumpsuit is always great.
00:21:17Yeah.
00:21:18You just have to have the right proportions.
00:21:19You have to make sure that that bell lands at the right place.
00:21:22Absolutely.
00:21:23You have to make sure the sleeves are in proportion with that bell.
00:21:27The bell, yeah.
00:21:27In theory, what you're doing is great.
00:21:29It's just the construction.
00:21:31If I can pull that off, I think I could be in there like some more bitch.
00:21:34Go back to work.
00:21:35Yes, thank you so much.
00:21:37I feel like Vida has set me up for a really successful design challenge.
00:21:42It's no time for save.
00:21:43I need to win something.
00:21:45All right, Juicy, come on down.
00:21:47Hi, Juicy.
00:21:48Hi.
00:21:49Why didn't you get Athena's baggage?
00:21:52Because I know my mother and I know that she kind of likes to play a little dirty game.
00:21:57Oh.
00:21:58So you had some intel.
00:21:59A little bit.
00:22:00And you had to lip sync against her last week.
00:22:02Yes, I did.
00:22:03It did break my heart to do so, but now I can be as loose as the juice can get.
00:22:10The juice is loose?
00:22:11The juice is loose.
00:22:14I remember what laughter felt like.
00:22:17Now, I see you have a sketch there.
00:22:18I do.
00:22:19Is this a cat suit?
00:22:20I'm going like a Kylie jumpsuit route.
00:22:23Do you have a pad?
00:22:24I pad it for the musical.
00:22:25Little pads.
00:22:26Yes, yes, yes.
00:22:27But do you ever give them just a bunch of ass?
00:22:29A bunch of ass?
00:22:30That's what you want to see?
00:22:30And some titties.
00:22:31Oh, okay.
00:22:32Maybe I can pull out some.
00:22:33Well, listen.
00:22:34At this point, the judges are looking for variety.
00:22:37They want a queen who has range.
00:22:41Yes.
00:22:41Okay.
00:22:42Well, you get to work.
00:22:43Thank you so much for that.
00:22:43Thank you, Juicy.
00:22:44The juice is loose.
00:22:46Absolutely, baby.
00:22:48Ru's pretty hard to read, but he laughed at the juice is loose.
00:22:52Pop quiz, where is the juice is loose from?
00:22:55Beetlejuice 2.
00:22:58Is that me wrong?
00:23:00Where is it from?
00:23:01It's from O.J. Simpson.
00:23:03Shut the fuck up.
00:23:04I used to call him the juice.
00:23:07Oh, Lord.
00:23:08Okay.
00:23:10Discord Adams, will you runway walk over here?
00:23:16The walk is terrible.
00:23:18It's not terrible.
00:23:19It's terrible.
00:23:20T-U-R-R-I-B-L-E.
00:23:22Terrible.
00:23:23You're doing something with your shoulders.
00:23:25Whatever you're doing with your shoulders, do it with your hips.
00:23:27Okay.
00:23:27Keep your shoulders straight.
00:23:29Can you do this?
00:23:31Uh, don't do your knees together.
00:23:33A workshop.
00:23:35That right here.
00:23:35They're calling a specialist.
00:23:37I cannot remember a time in Drag Race history when RuPaul has been like, the situation is so dire.
00:23:46Uh, tall neck.
00:23:47But keep your shoulders down, yeah.
00:23:48That I need to go in there and set it to right.
00:23:52Do you have some other walks in you?
00:23:54Maybe.
00:23:55Every time I go in there, I'm like, I'm gonna give them the best walk ever.
00:23:58Uh-huh.
00:23:58And then I walk out, and you all are laughing, and I'm like, it's the same walk.
00:24:01It's the same one, isn't it?
00:24:02I know it is.
00:24:04You chose Mandy Mango.
00:24:06I chose nothing.
00:24:07You chose nothing.
00:24:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:24:08Right.
00:24:09They chose you last.
00:24:11I think, like, I have been notoriously, like, pretty decent at the design challenges.
00:24:14So, maybe it's because they didn't want me to get a good suitcase.
00:24:19Now, I see a shredded sort of Bob Mackie dress there.
00:24:23You nailed it.
00:24:24I love the asymmetrical storyline there.
00:24:27That always works.
00:24:28Yes.
00:24:28What do you think is gonna help you break through in this competition?
00:24:31Well, I thought it was gonna be the Pope.
00:24:33It was very funny, and a side of you came out in that that was very unexpected.
00:24:39Yeah.
00:24:39Keep that up.
00:24:41Make sure this is the time you're in the top, okay?
00:24:44Yep.
00:24:44I can't wait to see how this turns out.
00:24:47Ladies, listen up.
00:24:49Tomorrow on the main stage, you'll be debuting your party looks, where we will be joined by the muse that
00:24:57Yves Saint Laurent called the perfect woman.
00:25:01Supermodel extraordinaire, Iman.
00:25:04Oh, my God.
00:25:06My fucking God.
00:25:07Iman's gonna see me in garbage!
00:25:11Iman is gonna see me in garbage!
00:25:14Get that walk together discourse.
00:25:19So, good luck, and don't fuck it up.
00:25:22Woo!
00:25:23Thanks, Ru!
00:25:24Thanks, Ru!
00:25:28I'm gonna cut this out here, and then hold it together with safety pins.
00:25:32That way...
00:25:32And they said you can use safety pins?
00:25:34It's fine?
00:25:34I can't use safety pins as embellishments, but I can use them as safety pins.
00:25:37If I cut this in half, and the only way to hold it together is with a safety pin, then
00:25:41I can't hide that.
00:25:42Oh, I see what I see.
00:25:42But I can't, like, cover this whole dress with safety pins for no reason.
00:25:45Right.
00:25:46That makes sense.
00:25:46I guess.
00:25:48I guess it makes sense.
00:25:49So, we're only allowed to use the materials provided, and we're only allowed to use materials as they are intended.
00:25:56So, if I can't use safety pins to embellish, then I'm gonna use them to sew it.
00:25:59This rhinestone fishnet cannot be sewn, it cannot be hot glued, so I'm going to safety pin it, which, honestly,
00:26:07is quintessential discord.
00:26:12Oh, my hand's getting tired.
00:26:13Emotions are high.
00:26:14Oh, my God, I can't keep it anymore.
00:26:16Sewing machines are going, fabric is everywhere, and Jane is having her fourth meltdown of the day.
00:26:26Trust me, I don't like it any more than you do, babe.
00:26:30I have my guardian angels.
00:26:31I still got Vita in the suitcase.
00:26:32Oh, girl, bring Vita out.
00:26:35We'll put Vita on her.
00:26:36We put drag queens in a room, and you expect us to work on outfits all day long, and we're
00:26:42not supposed to go crazy.
00:26:44The most sane person in the room right now is Discord.
00:26:48And that says a lot.
00:26:50Out of the seven girls eliminated, who has your favorite drag style?
00:26:55Vita.
00:26:56Vita.
00:26:56It would have to be Vita.
00:26:57Vita, and honestly, I think Crystal is genuinely...
00:27:01Who's Crystal?
00:27:02Who's Crystal?
00:27:04Y'all don't remember Crystal?
00:27:06Wow, that's pretty embarrassing for all of you.
00:27:08Remember her entrance by which she walked in, and she said,
00:27:11Hey, it's me, Crystal!
00:27:13Yes, I remember that bitch!
00:27:15Yeah!
00:27:18Crystal is an icon, Crystal is a legend, and she is the moment.
00:27:21She is the secret 15th queen of this season, girl.
00:27:25Yes, remember she and Athena got in that fight about who had their butt done better?
00:27:30Girl, you remember when Athena slapped her with her tentacles?
00:27:32Yes, Athena hit her.
00:27:34A lot.
00:27:35Yes.
00:27:36Juicy, you literally sent the bitch home.
00:27:38Like, what is happening?
00:27:39Juicy, stop acting like you don't remember Crystal.
00:27:40Like, what the fuck?
00:27:41Stop it because, like, I really do have, like, some spots in my memory that I can't fill in right
00:27:45now.
00:27:45Wait, is there a crystal on this season?
00:27:49Juicy, you literally sent her home to Mambo number five.
00:27:54It was sickening, you did a 360 dip right as Lou Vega asked for a little more Erica by his
00:28:00side.
00:28:02Y'all need to go get some sleep.
00:28:04We're at the point of the competition where we're all just delirious.
00:28:06I forgot how to do a running stitch.
00:28:08That's okay.
00:28:09I forgot Sierra's name.
00:28:14Bitch, it's gonna be a long night.
00:28:17Back to work.
00:28:21You know what it's about to go down.
00:28:26Today, we are going to walk the runway in our party dresser.
00:28:29We all know I'm a fashion girl, and I love being critical about what the other girls are wearing.
00:28:34So sometimes, it is not good.
00:28:36But today, this is not one of those days.
00:28:39Oh, my God.
00:28:40Looking around the room, everybody has something pretty wearable on the dress form.
00:28:45So I'm not seeing anything that looks like an obvious contender for the bottom.
00:28:51Which is a little irritating.
00:28:56Mikey, how are you feeling about your look?
00:28:58We changed directions.
00:28:59At first, I was going for, like, Charlie XDX Party Girl.
00:29:02Right.
00:29:02But, like, okay, let's have a party in Aspen.
00:29:05Like, let's go to the slopes.
00:29:06Yeah, let's go on the slopes, dude.
00:29:07Because I go skiing even when the slopes are closed.
00:29:10Oh.
00:29:11Even though, in my suitcase, there was not that much variety.
00:29:16I have made a fitted skirt.
00:29:17I have made earmuffs.
00:29:19I made a scarf.
00:29:19And I made a giant muff to go with it.
00:29:21All within matching fabric.
00:29:23But you were, like, done first yesterday.
00:29:24You had, like, your outfit finished.
00:29:25Yeah, so I really wanted to make sure I had a clean silhouette.
00:29:30Oh.
00:29:30That it fit me perfectly, honey.
00:29:34I really thought coming into this competition, I had my body figured out.
00:29:37Everything was where it's supposed to be at.
00:29:39But Rue did give me some advice about proportionizing.
00:29:43And I made sure that, ugh.
00:29:45Like, bitch, I want to be curvaceous with a Coke bottle.
00:29:47Did you teach yourself how to sew?
00:29:48How do you learn how to sew?
00:29:49Do you know you can buy, like, drag offline?
00:29:51Yeah.
00:29:51And the bitch was like, I don't have things for big girls.
00:29:54And the bitch literally was like, if you want something your size, learn how to sew.
00:29:57And you know what?
00:29:58I took her advice.
00:29:59Bitch, and I learned how to motherfucking sew.
00:30:01Honey, I have stepped my pussy up, my clitoris up, my vulva, vulva, whatever you call it, bitch.
00:30:07I don't know nothing about no vaginas.
00:30:08But I have stepped it up, honey.
00:30:10This is my goddamn revenge dress.
00:30:12This is my redemption jumpsuit.
00:30:15How did your look end up coming together?
00:30:17I made some edits.
00:30:18The cape is gone.
00:30:19The little flowers are chopped.
00:30:22The ones that you spent literally the first, like, two hours.
00:30:25Literally.
00:30:26Okay.
00:30:27But I feel like it looks better being a little bit more streamlined and less, like, all over the place.
00:30:32Because I feel like that's kind of normally what all of my looks are.
00:30:34I am concerned for Darlene.
00:30:36She wasn't given a lot to work with.
00:30:38That was a lot of zebra and a little bit of black.
00:30:42I don't know.
00:30:43I don't know if I'm seeing the vision.
00:30:45And you, Janie?
00:30:46Did you figure it out after Sierra's own?
00:30:49Yeah.
00:30:50I think we landed on something.
00:30:51Despite Sierra's best efforts, I have a dress.
00:30:55It's not particularly interesting, but it does look pretty good.
00:31:00And it's a dress.
00:31:01And it can go on my body.
00:31:02Maybe there's a sliver of hope that Sierra Mist has not condemned me to elimination.
00:31:10How are you feeling about your look, Miss Diva?
00:31:13I think it's gorge.
00:31:14It came together at the end.
00:31:16I worked very hard hemming these pants and making sure the finishings were nice.
00:31:21I think it looks cut.
00:31:23Feels good.
00:31:24Yeah.
00:31:24It looks like you're going to a party.
00:31:25This time around, Juicy, who has spent the last however many weeks struggling to thread
00:31:30a bobbin, did not get any help from anybody.
00:31:33So, I'm curious how this is going to play out.
00:31:39How's your outfit?
00:31:40Did you change anything?
00:31:41It fully came together.
00:31:43Thankfully, everything fit the first time.
00:31:47The construction skills that Nene has, I think, are excellent.
00:31:52But the ladies who lunch with a orange sequin catsuit underneath, don't know how I'm so sold on.
00:31:59How are you feeling about today?
00:32:01Yesterday, I was completely spiraling.
00:32:03But I really, really, really, really love my outfit now.
00:32:06It has a lot of safety pins.
00:32:07I wasn't expecting how many safety pins it was going to have.
00:32:08There are 800.
00:32:10There are literally 800 safety pins on it.
00:32:14Safety pins?
00:32:15Bitch, safety pins was not in that goddamn suitcase.
00:32:18I didn't sew one part of the outfit.
00:32:20The entire thing is hemmed and put together with the safety pins.
00:32:23Who cares?
00:32:27That's some shenanigans.
00:32:29I think Discord is definitely trying to get away with something.
00:32:32Period.
00:32:32Do you think the judges are going to clock your safety pins today and be like,
00:32:36have anything to say about them?
00:32:38In a bad way?
00:32:39I don't know.
00:32:39What are they going to...
00:32:40How are they going to read the safety pins?
00:32:42Well, I hope they read it as fashion.
00:32:44If you take these safety pins out, my entire garment will fall apart.
00:32:48Which means these safety pins were necessary.
00:32:51Did they have the added bonus of making it aesthetically freaking cool?
00:32:55Yes.
00:32:56Like, three safety pins is trash.
00:32:58Like, a thousand safety pins?
00:33:00Fashion.
00:33:03I hesitate to make predictions every time I'm like,
00:33:05I think it'll be great!
00:33:06Boo Boo the Fool.
00:33:07You know what I mean?
00:33:08We just really got to channel more Boom Boom Pow.
00:33:10We have to channel Boom Boom Pow.
00:33:12We have to channel Boom Boom Pow.
00:33:13We have to channel Boom Boom Pow.
00:33:14I love Boom Boom Pow.
00:33:17I don't know, I'm just obsessed with that song.
00:33:18To be fair, I am obsessed with the Black Eyed Peas.
00:33:20I have them since I was a child.
00:33:22Can you please describe Boom Boom Pow?
00:33:24Boom Boom Pow to me is a way of life, really.
00:33:27It's structured like an ancient poem.
00:33:30It's like the Odyssey, it's like singing me oh muse.
00:33:32The Four Philosophers.
00:33:33Yes, like before we get to even hear the Boom Boom Pow,
00:33:36each of the Peas appears to describe the Boom Boom Pow to us,
00:33:41so that we will know its presence when we see it.
00:33:44It's sort of like Old Testament prophecy.
00:33:45It is, yeah.
00:33:46The Horseman of the Boom Boom Pow.
00:33:47The Horseman of the Black Eyed Peas.
00:33:49The Horseman of the Black Eyed Peas.
00:33:50They will appear so that you shall know the Boom Boom Pow when you see it.
00:33:55I think that Boom Boom Pow is a text that like when scientists are like digging up our civilization,
00:34:03they will find it.
00:34:04It will be our like Gilgamesh.
00:34:06That's when Fergie truly let us know about how she is 3008 and we're 2000 and late.
00:34:12Hello.
00:34:13When the finale lip sync song is Boom Boom Pow.
00:34:16Girl, if the finale lip sync song was Boom Boom Pow,
00:34:20when I tell you I would be going feral.
00:34:24Bitch, I don't know.
00:34:26I'm tired.
00:34:27Let's play some basketball.
00:34:31Sometimes I'm like, wow, I have a degree.
00:34:35Huh.
00:34:35What's your degree in?
00:34:37Fashion design.
00:34:38Oh, wait.
00:34:39Hold on.
00:34:40Have you said that to people?
00:34:42What happened?
00:34:42What did Darlene say?
00:34:43I just found out that Darlene has a degree in fashion design.
00:34:46You went to school for fashion design?
00:34:49Here go, Nene.
00:34:50I always like went into like the styling routes.
00:34:54I would do like my like base garment sketches and then I would just start like styling the hell out
00:34:59of it.
00:34:59Mind you, I see Darlene go for the fucking ziplock bag full of wigs.
00:35:04Ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:05Girl, look at the bag.
00:35:07Woo!
00:35:09Woo!
00:35:09Woo!
00:35:09Woo!
00:35:11The mullet bag.
00:35:13Darlene has the ugliest bag of wigs, some in which I don't even know why she brought.
00:35:20Oh, my God.
00:35:21Wait.
00:35:22I'm seeing it.
00:35:23She is fierce.
00:35:24What is that ash blonde bob?
00:35:26Who wants to wear that?
00:35:27Wait, bitch.
00:35:28I fully have my bob under the table.
00:35:30Why do you have a bob under the table?
00:35:32Because, bitch, I'm ready to serve cotton at all times.
00:35:35If an emergency wig is something you can just hit two times and you're ready.
00:35:41What?
00:35:42Why?
00:35:43Do you have this?
00:35:45It looks like you're about to sell me some chicken nuggets.
00:35:49I hate this one.
00:35:51I hate it.
00:35:51I can't, I can't.
00:35:52It's so disgusting.
00:35:54The girls just can't take.
00:35:56Wait.
00:35:57You get a mullet.
00:35:59You get a mullet.
00:36:00You get a mullet.
00:36:01Mimi, why are you so passable?
00:36:03You're so passable.
00:36:07A new cut.
00:36:09A new color.
00:36:11We're having a very good time with the wings.
00:36:13This is only bag number one.
00:36:39Come on.
00:36:42What?
00:36:43Come on, Ron.
00:36:44stage of RuPaul's Drag Race, Michelle Visage.
00:36:48Now, what's your favorite kind of party?
00:36:51Uh, fisting?
00:36:53BYOF.
00:36:56Style superstar, Carson Kressley,
00:36:59what's your favorite kind of party?
00:37:01Oh, I love a slumber party, especially when there's fisting.
00:37:07And the one and only, Iman is here.
00:37:11Iman, what's your favorite kind of party?
00:37:14Ain't no party like a cha-cha party,
00:37:16cause a cha-cha party goes aww!
00:37:19Whoo!
00:37:21Aw!
00:37:26Cha-cha, bitch!
00:37:28Yay!
00:37:30Iman, you look gorgeous as always.
00:37:33Thank you, darling.
00:37:34It's great to be here.
00:37:37This week we challenged our queens to use the materials
00:37:40of their eliminated sisters to create festive fashion
00:37:44and tonight on the runway, category is part A.
00:37:49Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
00:37:59Category is party.
00:38:02Up first, Darlene Mitchell, headed to the VMA's after party.
00:38:09Poop!
00:38:09There it is!
00:38:11A good design requires three things, volume, silhouette, and a mullet.
00:38:16I am eating this runway with every step.
00:38:19This little mini dress is so form-fitting I can barely breathe in.
00:38:23I've got pillow up top, pillow on each arm, pillow around the hip.
00:38:27I could fall and be protected from any angle.
00:38:30Roost for your pleasure.
00:38:32I'll see you at the after-after party.
00:38:35I'll see you at the zoo.
00:38:38Discord Adams, headed to an end-of-the-world party.
00:38:43Oh!
00:38:43Oh!
00:38:44It's just her and the Twinkie.
00:38:47I chose not to use any of the yellow fabric I was given
00:38:50because this is not a Bart Simpson moment for me.
00:38:52This is couture.
00:38:54Looks like a moth has eaten me up,
00:38:56but the safety pins are holding me together.
00:39:03And RuPaul just cheeses right at me
00:39:06and gives me a big thumbs up.
00:39:08I have mastered the walk in front of Iman.
00:39:11I am a supermodel.
00:39:13Is she punching this?
00:39:14I said step away from the shredder.
00:39:17Juicy love Dion.
00:39:19On her way to a Miami Beach party.
00:39:22Oh.
00:39:23Ooh, Miami mob wife eleganza.
00:39:27Thank you, Titi Mion, for your fabrics.
00:39:30I knew my big back sister would not let me down.
00:39:33I'm giving you Miami Beach.
00:39:35It's hot and I'm letting the breeze in
00:39:38with all these open panels on this Kylie jumpsuit.
00:39:41I'm showing body.
00:39:42I'm padded.
00:39:43We're in front of Iman.
00:39:45You have to serve.
00:39:46I dream of weenie.
00:39:47Yes.
00:39:49If you can't beat him, harem.
00:39:51Harem?
00:39:52I didn't even know him.
00:39:55Jane, don't.
00:39:56Headed to a Grammys after party.
00:39:59Oh.
00:40:00How much it costs for one leg?
00:40:02Eat it up.
00:40:04This look is a Bob Mackie inspired gown.
00:40:07So I am giving very glam, very professional lady.
00:40:12I'm covered in appliques.
00:40:14Everything has been pieced together individually.
00:40:16Usually all I have to say to Sierra Mist is thank you.
00:40:21Because if it weren't for your deceit and treachery, I would not be here looking fierce.
00:40:26Say hi to Clive Davis for me.
00:40:30NeNe Coco headed to a fashion week post-show garden party.
00:40:35Oh.
00:40:36Anyone else hungry for a carrot?
00:40:38It is springtime.
00:40:39And I am floating into this garden party in this bright, bold gown, complete with a catsuit,
00:40:45balloon sleeve, bolero, miniskirt, and detachable train.
00:40:49Ooh.
00:40:50I love a convertible.
00:40:52Oh, yes.
00:40:53Yes.
00:40:53It's a Jennifer convertible.
00:40:55My pony is snatched and my walk is fierce.
00:40:59The train is no longer running.
00:41:01No, stop.
00:41:04Mikey Meeks headed to an opre ski party.
00:41:09Oh.
00:41:09Winter in Pacoima is glamorous.
00:41:12I'm a Florida girl.
00:41:13I've never been skiing.
00:41:15So I'm wearing what I would think would be cute at some type of snowy after party.
00:41:21I use the dark navy stretch to make this base suit, kind of giving snow suit, right?
00:41:27And blue sequin to be the standout.
00:41:30I have the matching earmuffs, the scarf, the gloves, and of course the muff has to match too.
00:41:36I need some hot cocoa.
00:41:38Now!
00:41:39Two hands, one muff.
00:41:43Can you please her?
00:41:44It's on her way to a disco party.
00:41:46Okay.
00:41:47Yes, she is.
00:41:47Yes, and she's the ball of the belt.
00:41:50Ooh.
00:41:51Tutu BB.
00:41:53Studio 54 has nothing on me.
00:41:55My outfit has bell sleeves.
00:41:57It has a deep V line.
00:41:58I have the afro.
00:42:00I have the flower.
00:42:01The bell bottoms kiss the ground wonderfully.
00:42:03Bitch, this garment is so well constructed that it looks like it's painted on me.
00:42:06It's the pleaser way or no way.
00:42:08Black and right and red all over.
00:42:11And it ain't raining men.
00:42:13It's raining sequins.
00:42:14You heard of Donna Summer?
00:42:15Uh-huh.
00:42:16This is Kenya Springs.
00:42:20Welcome, queens.
00:42:22It's time for the judges' critiques.
00:42:25Up first, Darlene Mitchell.
00:42:29Everybody, really, when everybody came out I thought, wow, wait, did they make this stuff?
00:42:34It's incredible.
00:42:35Every look is so fully realized.
00:42:37This one I do love.
00:42:38It's getting me 1980s, pretty in pink, gunny sacks, which was like a brand that you'd wear to the prom.
00:42:44I love it because it's really something that you will see in London in the 80s.
00:42:49The way you ruched the top of this, is it stuffed?
00:42:53It is.
00:42:54If you're lucky.
00:42:56Please.
00:42:57And what I love about this, Darlene, is this is a different look.
00:43:00There's no gauntlet involved.
00:43:02You did something completely different with your makeup.
00:43:04You didn't wear the hideous shoes.
00:43:06You wore the other ones.
00:43:07The only tiny tweak I would say is maybe if you added some of that zebra fabric onto the shoe,
00:43:13it would have really like put it over the top.
00:43:16Very, very good.
00:43:18Up next, Discord Adams.
00:43:20First, I want to talk about your walk because I feel like you are making such improvements.
00:43:26Now, when I see this, I don't see any Mandy go.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30I'm an old school punk rock girl who grew up worshiping Sid Vicious, so I love safety pins in couture.
00:43:36This is like Sid Vicious and Sandra Rose together.
00:43:40It moves beautifully.
00:43:42It shimmers all in the right way.
00:43:44Listen, if things don't work out for you, you could always be a designer.
00:43:49And then the hair and the makeup just support the look really beautifully.
00:43:52You've got, you know, crystals running through the wig as well.
00:43:54What gave you the most trouble?
00:43:56Um, 800 safety pins.
00:43:59I can't believe you made this from things that you happened to find that somebody left over for you.
00:44:04It's incredible.
00:44:05It's a work of art.
00:44:06Thank you so much.
00:44:07Up next, Juicy Love Dion.
00:44:09Well, this is over the top.
00:44:13I love it.
00:44:14It's Miami meets Dubai.
00:44:16Okay?
00:44:17I love it.
00:44:18I love the material.
00:44:19And it looks like you finished the edges of them as well, so I'm very proud of you for doing
00:44:24that.
00:44:24It's giving Alibaba, not the discount online resource, but Middle Eastern glam.
00:44:30You look like you're starring in a porn version of Sinbad.
00:44:33Mm-hmm.
00:44:35Skinbad.
00:44:36Skinbad.
00:44:36Yeah, I love that.
00:44:38I love the crystal-encrusted bustier.
00:44:40And even, like, the forehead wig brooch.
00:44:43I've never seen that.
00:44:44I'm gonna pin one on my head later.
00:44:45I guess, for me, maybe a different shoe might have helped a little bit.
00:44:49I agree that if it was lighter, it would have given you more.
00:44:52So it's just a little bit heavier at the bottom.
00:44:55But all in all, it's fierce, it's cute, and it's clubby, and it's fun.
00:45:00This is turning into a love fest.
00:45:03I hate it.
00:45:06Up next, Jane Don't.
00:45:08You know, I was thinking, who's gonna get Sierras?
00:45:11She is so specifically herself and out there in the best way.
00:45:15Is that print on the material?
00:45:18No.
00:45:18How did you do that print?
00:45:20Um, so this was, like, a mesh fabric with the sequin, like, on it.
00:45:25So I just cut it up and turned it into applique.
00:45:27Wow.
00:45:28Wow.
00:45:29It looks like it's a very difficult fabric to work with.
00:45:32It's already kind of sequined, so it can get bunchy.
00:45:34It can tear.
00:45:35It can split.
00:45:36Now, judges, if you could have seen what Jane was left to work with,
00:45:40it wasn't even remnants.
00:45:42It was scraps.
00:45:43And she literally did a patchwork coat of many colors.
00:45:47Wow.
00:45:48I love that you made the sleeves long, but the slits even longer.
00:45:52The appliques on the fabric really do give it the dimension that it needs to jump.
00:45:57Otherwise, it would have been flat.
00:45:59And you put them on the bag, and your head, and your shoulder.
00:46:02You're like a very sexy, still alive Dame Edna.
00:46:06You have done a miraculous job on it.
00:46:09Is there anything you'd like to say to Sierra Mist right now?
00:46:15I would like to say, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I will find you.
00:46:22And when I do, prepare yourself, Sierra Mist.
00:46:26The state of Indiana will shake, Sierra Mist.
00:46:31And I thank you.
00:46:35Up next, Nene Coco.
00:46:37I thought this was very chic, and I can see this on a runway.
00:46:40To be able to do this kind of blouse, a balloon sleeve, the ruffle at the bottom of that skirt,
00:46:46that takes skill.
00:46:48Print is always challenging, and this one is like 1950s women in midi skirts,
00:46:53so it could go a little dowdy, but I think you made it look modern and edgy and fun.
00:46:58It moves well.
00:46:59The balloons, the removable skirt on top of it, it's all beautiful.
00:47:03But it's that pop of orange that is really what makes it very youthful and very modern.
00:47:09Up next, Mikey Meeks.
00:47:12Mikey, can you hear me?
00:47:15I just think the idea of having the dark with a dark-ish fabric is really chic.
00:47:22But what I love about, again, it is that you have that bodysuit.
00:47:26It really creates that dimension.
00:47:28It's thought through, and it works.
00:47:30And I do appreciate the craftsmanship on the boot covers, the way the skirt is fitted,
00:47:36the way the bustier top is fitted.
00:47:38You've really finessed the fit here to give you a beautiful silhouette.
00:47:42And the fact that you told the story makes it even more enjoyable for us.
00:47:47Whose materials did you get?
00:47:49I got briar blush.
00:47:50Anything you'd like to say to her?
00:47:52I hope I made you proud.
00:47:56Up next, the question remains.
00:47:58Can you please her?
00:48:00So I say this with all the love in the world.
00:48:04Who helped you?
00:48:08Michelle, nobody helped me, honey.
00:48:10You did this all on yourself.
00:48:11Michelle, I can sew girl for real.
00:48:13Well, then what happened with the last two girls?
00:48:15I don't know, bitch.
00:48:16It was a mess.
00:48:17You look like the life of the party, honey.
00:48:20No.
00:48:21That color looks great on your skin.
00:48:23You look gorgeous.
00:48:25And I think so technically well done.
00:48:27I think this silhouette has perfect balance.
00:48:30I always loved a solid belt.
00:48:32You know?
00:48:33It's like separate and conquer.
00:48:35You know?
00:48:35I see finished edges.
00:48:37I see a neckline that's finished.
00:48:39A hem and a sequined stretch fabric.
00:48:42I'm gagged.
00:48:43And then I think that dewey kind of highlight on the cheek really works for this era and this vibe.
00:48:49The big flower in the hair.
00:48:50It's very Diana Ross, very 70s.
00:48:53It didn't overdo it with the accessories from head to toe.
00:48:57Just fantastic.
00:48:58Thank you so much.
00:49:00Queens, this week you all brought the party.
00:49:02So, to help us make our decision, I want to hear from you.
00:49:09You knew it was coming.
00:49:12Tonight's the night.
00:49:15Who should go home tonight and why?
00:49:18Lord have mercy.
00:49:20Here we go, bitch.
00:49:24Queens, I want to hear from you.
00:49:26Who should go home tonight and why?
00:49:32Starting with Darlene Mitchell.
00:49:36Um, I think at this point in the competition, to come this far and not be in the top says
00:49:42a lot.
00:49:43And I'm such a fan of hers, but I'm afraid I would have to say Discord.
00:49:48Discord, same question.
00:49:50Who should go home tonight and why?
00:49:52Oh, God.
00:49:53I think Darlene and I are both in the same boat of not having won a challenge yet.
00:50:01So, I guess Darlene.
00:50:05Juicy.
00:50:06Hate to do this, but I have to echo what Darlene has said.
00:50:11And also say that, yes, the safety pins look great, but it was not in the box.
00:50:18So, I don't think it was part of the brief to cover it all in safety pins.
00:50:24Oh, get her Juicy.
00:50:26Oh, get her Juicy.
00:50:27And for that reason, I would say Discord as well.
00:50:29Okay.
00:50:30Jane.
00:50:31Tonight, everybody did a really great job.
00:50:32So, I think we have to look at track record.
00:50:35I also will echo what Juicy said.
00:50:37The safety pins were not in Mandy's box.
00:50:38And not every single one of those safety pins is holding that garment together.
00:50:41Oh.
00:50:45So, I would say Discord.
00:50:46Gate alert.
00:50:47Hello.
00:50:47Safety pin gate.
00:50:49Yikes.
00:50:50NeNe.
00:50:51Sorry to dogpile.
00:50:53Discord has helped as a partner of mine.
00:50:55So, I've really appreciated working with them.
00:50:57But based on tonight's challenge, I do agree.
00:50:59Discord was not as resourceful as some of the girls on this stage.
00:51:04So, I will say Discord.
00:51:06Mikey.
00:51:06We're getting down to the wire.
00:51:09Based off track record, I'll say Discord.
00:51:11Kenya.
00:51:12So, based off tonight, even though the outfit is very much herself,
00:51:16I would say Discord could have pushed her further with using some other fabrics.
00:51:22Thank you, queens.
00:51:24I think we've heard enough.
00:51:25While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
00:51:31All right.
00:51:32Now, just between us squirrel friends, what do you think?
00:51:35And I need you to be brutally honest because we are splitting hairs here tonight.
00:51:42Darlene Mitchell.
00:51:43Darlene, for me, it was very chic.
00:51:46And she could have really easily over-accessorized, but she didn't.
00:51:49But the execution of the whole outfit was what it really drew me in.
00:51:53Creating that sculptural quality of the ruching across the bust line and also across the hemline,
00:51:58that took a lot of technique and talent.
00:52:00You can tell she hand-stitched it.
00:52:02It looked that detailed.
00:52:03The only ding, and because everybody's really neck and neck here,
00:52:07she could have done better with the shoe.
00:52:09Discord Adams.
00:52:10I love this look.
00:52:11Like, it was right off of a Vegas stage.
00:52:13Slash and sizzle.
00:52:15She really brought something that it uniquely looks vintage, but hard-edged.
00:52:20However, the safety pins were not part of Mandy Mango's package.
00:52:25So with that said, I'm not sure how I feel about that anymore.
00:52:29They were kind of the focal point of the garment.
00:52:31100%.
00:52:32800 safety pins.
00:52:33That's a lot of safety pins.
00:52:35That could create a safety pin shortage on the West Coast.
00:52:39A safety hazard, if you will.
00:52:40A safety hazard, exactly.
00:52:41And the other girls were not happy about that.
00:52:44Mm-hmm.
00:52:44It was a successful look, but at what cost?
00:52:47Juicy loved Dion.
00:52:48Juicy was juicy.
00:52:50I mean, the hair and pant look beautiful.
00:52:52And the top.
00:52:53It's a little, you know, a little trashy, but it actually worked.
00:52:57It was giving kind of very 70s or 80s Rick James backup dancer silhouette.
00:53:02But again, since we're splitting hairs here,
00:53:04it would have been so much better if she had a metallic silver strappy sandal.
00:53:09Or a really pointy stiletto.
00:53:10Jane Don't.
00:53:12Had you seen what she got, you would be even more amazed.
00:53:16She would have been great in the depression.
00:53:19I think it's nothing short of miraculous that she was able to walk out here like that.
00:53:24Yes, it's a drag race miracle.
00:53:25It was.
00:53:26Jane Don't?
00:53:27No, Jane did.
00:53:30Nini Coco.
00:53:30This was another production tonight that I thought was so fun to watch.
00:53:35A blur print.
00:53:37She created a wow effect.
00:53:39And she's also really good at figuring out the balance of the look.
00:53:42Yeah.
00:53:42She had a small crop top to give it some breathing room.
00:53:45Then she had a small little skirt, but then she had a train in the back and then she had
00:53:48the big sleeve.
00:53:49So all those things were balanced really beautifully.
00:53:52Very smart kid that Nini Coco.
00:53:54Mikey Meeks.
00:53:54I really enjoyed this Mikey Meeks ensemble.
00:53:57Somehow that Navy, and Navy has a way of doing this, it turns it into a very chic story.
00:54:02And I was here for it.
00:54:04I love the earmuffs.
00:54:05I love the muffs in her hands.
00:54:07And then of course the covered boots.
00:54:09Accessories make the outfit.
00:54:10Kenya Pleaser.
00:54:11I think Kenya's the shock of the night.
00:54:13For all of us that have endured two fashion challenges with her.
00:54:17I was shocked and then I thought we were conned that somebody else did the look for her.
00:54:22But then she said she made it all and it was just beautiful.
00:54:25And, you know, she has a tendency to always cover her neck up.
00:54:28And she left it open so that the proportions and the negative space worked in her favor.
00:54:34She looked like she was having fun.
00:54:35And when somebody looks like they're having fun, it's fun.
00:54:38Alright.
00:54:39Silence.
00:54:41I've made my decision.
00:54:42Bring back my girls.
00:54:45Welcome back queens.
00:54:46I've made some decisions.
00:54:51Darlene Mitchell.
00:54:53You had me at mullet.
00:54:56Mikey Meeks.
00:54:57You put the ass in Aspen.
00:55:01Nini Coco.
00:55:02Your balloon sleeves popped.
00:55:07Ladies, you are safe.
00:55:13You may step to the back of the stage.
00:55:16I can.
00:55:17Good wind noise, Val.
00:55:19Thank you Mr.
00:55:20Juicy love Dion.
00:55:21You should.
00:55:22Your shoes pulled focus.
00:55:25Discord Adams.
00:55:28Your safety pins drew blood.
00:55:32Discord Juicy.
00:55:35You are both safe.
00:55:42You may join the other girls.
00:55:47Jane, don't.
00:55:49Can you please her?
00:55:52I'm sorry, my dears.
00:55:56I'd like to say one of you is a winner, baby.
00:56:01But first, I need to see your lip sync.
00:56:07Who is so fucking messy, bitch?
00:56:10Girl!
00:56:11I started from the bottom, and now I'm your host.
00:56:15Two queens stand before me.
00:56:19This is your chance to impress me and win a cash tip.
00:56:25$5,000.
00:56:29The time has come for you to lip sync.
00:56:35For the win!
00:56:40If I can win this lip sync, I will be the first girl to three wins.
00:56:46So this is a do-or-die moment.
00:56:50I need this win.
00:56:51Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
00:56:56Woo!
00:57:00Yeah!
00:57:02Yeah!
00:57:02No!
00:57:03No!
00:57:03When there's something in the air
00:57:07When the air is shaking
00:57:12Something inside me knows
00:57:16One heart went falling
00:57:19No!
00:57:22A premonition in my voice
00:57:25I can sense it
00:57:27Very good
00:57:29Something about two lovers
00:57:31That changes the world
00:57:34I can't get that
00:57:36Seem to reflect that I say
00:57:38Wow!
00:57:40I feel it in my heart
00:57:42Yeah!
00:57:45Feel like another one
00:57:49I just imagine I'm eating the patty pie right now
00:57:52And I feel like another one
00:57:53Feel like another one
00:57:55When I look into your eyes
00:57:59Yeah, there's such a reaction
00:58:01Yeah, there's such a reaction
00:58:04And I don't need to know
00:58:06And I don't need to know
00:58:08What makes it possible
00:58:10What makes it possible
00:58:12I've been lucky for
00:58:16But love's a mighty little window
00:58:20And every time somebody reaches in my heart
00:58:25I can' detect that I
00:58:27Flight to protect that I say
