FunTranscript
00:00:03Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race, you'll be toasting and roasting
00:00:08Alyssa Edwards!
00:00:11She looks so excited to be here, but that just must be all that illegal Botox.
00:00:21This sort of walk is so stiff and uncomfortable to look at, it reminds me of Ross Matthews.
00:00:29Can you please her?
00:00:30We needed more laughs.
00:00:33Juicy Love Dion.
00:00:34Wow.
00:00:35You haven't quite found your voice yet, your point of view.
00:00:40Darlene Mitchell.
00:00:41You swung so far.
00:00:43It wasn't about the punchline, it was about what is she going to do next.
00:00:48Condragulations, you're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:00:52Juicy Love Dion, Shantae, you stay.
00:00:56Can you please her?
00:00:58Sashay away.
00:01:10Wow.
00:01:11Kenya has just left us, and I think every single one of us is feeling the loss of her.
00:01:18Oh, Kenya.
00:01:19I'm really, really going to miss that lady.
00:01:22Love, all of you.
00:01:24Good luck.
00:01:26Kenya take it.
00:01:28Kenya pleaser.
00:01:30Oh.
00:01:31I really loved Kenya.
00:01:33Having Kenya's energy in the room was just something special.
00:01:36She is charisma to the core.
00:01:38Yeah.
00:01:39And I'm absolutely going to miss her.
00:01:41The question still remains.
00:01:43Kenya pleaser.
00:01:45And the question also remains.
00:01:46Can you wipe that off the mirror so we can sit down?
00:01:48Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
00:01:50You're good at this.
00:01:51So talented.
00:01:52I mean, you had sort of a talent at the beginning, but now we've really honed it.
00:01:56You know what I'm saying?
00:01:57Yeah, okay.
00:01:57Now we've really worked something.
00:01:58Come on, wow.
00:01:59It's my third time, like, lip-syncing.
00:02:01It's not a good thing.
00:02:03The judges are still not getting who I am.
00:02:06It breaks my heart.
00:02:07I'm someone that's very resilient.
00:02:10And I'm going to keep fighting for myself every chance I get.
00:02:15Congratulations to our winner!
00:02:17Thank you!
00:02:19I am on the board!
00:02:20On the board!
00:02:21On the board!
00:02:22I feel galvanized.
00:02:27My first win, and it's the roast.
00:02:29That is a big one.
00:02:30I won, like, a drag race staple.
00:02:34I do feel like the eyes are a little different.
00:02:35And the other girls are seeing me in the finale, and that's a really good feeling.
00:02:39Darlene winning proves that you do not have to spend money on any wins.
00:02:44She wanted a $7 win.
00:02:46Don't, you don't need it.
00:02:47A hard front and a soft heart.
00:02:49NeNe, where was your head at when the judges were talking to you?
00:02:52I feel like a lot of emotions were safe, but I was in the bottom three.
00:02:57And in the moment, I was really internalizing what it would mean to go home.
00:03:04And it felt, like, so scary.
00:03:06And I don't want to lose this.
00:03:08This was my first time landing in the bottom three.
00:03:12It doesn't feel good.
00:03:13I got some harsher critiques than I have before.
00:03:16I turned down the shade just a little bit, but the judges were like,
00:03:20there's still a little work on the delivery, a little work on the de-meetifying it.
00:03:24So, I'm a work in progress, divas.
00:03:27Maybe the next time you'd read, smile through it.
00:03:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:30You gotta just, like, you're fucking ugly.
00:03:33Right.
00:03:33You know, something like that.
00:03:34You should smile more.
00:03:35NeNe, okay, try it.
00:03:36Darlene, honestly, I don't remember a single one of your jokes besides all the props.
00:03:41Ding.
00:03:42Ding.
00:03:43Yeah.
00:03:43Yeah.
00:03:45I'm like, bitch, there's no more room for error.
00:03:48There are less and less seats at this table.
00:03:50So, whatever I need to do in this game of musical chairs to get in the seat, I'm gonna do
00:03:56it.
00:04:00Ah, ah!
00:04:02Banana!
00:04:03Cheeseburger!
00:04:07The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics
00:04:14and a cash prize of $200,000, courtesy of RuPaul's Drag Race Match Queen,
00:04:21with extra special guest judge, Danielle Penoch.
00:04:24RuPaul's Drag Race is the best drag queen, we win, drag queen, we win.
00:04:35Oh, yeah, a pose.
00:04:36Wait, wait, wait.
00:04:37Oh!
00:04:38Banana!
00:04:40It is the top six of season 18.
00:04:44Bitch, we are here!
00:04:45This feels like a milestone.
00:04:46Sure.
00:04:47Kind of feels like a kidney stone.
00:04:48Okay, comedy queen.
00:04:50Oh, my God, yeah, sorry.
00:04:51Snatch Game winner.
00:04:52Me and Darlene are kind of the comedy queens of the season, I fear.
00:04:56Speaking of Darlene, I just want to put this out there,
00:05:00that Darlene has a degree in fashion design and professionally is a hairstylist
00:05:08and has been looking like that.
00:05:13You got in the wig and you moved that bang for 20 minutes.
00:05:17They've been wanting countrys and baby, I'm not in.
00:05:24She know I'm ready to have her.
00:05:27Let's go.
00:05:28Roo-Roo number 19.
00:05:31I believe the children are our future.
00:05:35Teach them well and they will steal your purse.
00:05:40Juicy's familiar with that.
00:05:43Hello, hello, hello.
00:05:45Hi!
00:05:46Hey, cowboys.
00:05:48Yippee-ki-yay.
00:05:49Yeah.
00:05:50Well, howdy, ladykins.
00:05:51How are you?
00:05:53We're just four weeks away from the grand finale,
00:05:56but this horse race ain't over yet.
00:06:00In fact, it's just heating up.

00:06:09Woo!
00:06:10Wow!
00:06:11And you'll be riding one of these.

00:06:20Oh!
00:06:21Oh, my God, yeah!
00:06:23Hey!
00:06:24Sorry, ladies.
00:06:25You won't be riding Chris,
00:06:27but you will be riding on the horse he rode in on.
00:06:32Hey!
00:06:33But first, you need to giddy up and titty up
00:06:36in quick lady cowboy drag.
00:06:40Then, we're off to the races.
00:06:42Y'all ready?
00:06:43Yes!
00:06:44Let's go.
00:06:47You're pretty, pretty, pretty.
00:06:48They got a size on here?
00:06:50Oh, my God, wait.
00:06:51Oh, no!
00:06:51Oh, no, my boobs are bouncing!
00:06:55You customizing something?
00:06:57Yes.
00:06:57Did you even get anything off the table?
00:06:59Wait, okay, Darlene, can I borrow a wig?
00:07:01Go through the bag.
00:07:02Oh, hell yeah.
00:07:04Does anybody have a safety pin handy?
00:07:06Discord, probably.
00:07:07Hey-o!
00:07:08Okay, time's up.
00:07:11Saddle up, cowgirls.
00:07:12Ooh!
00:07:13Saddle up.
00:07:14Ooh.
00:07:16Ooh, treat me well.
00:07:17Welcome to RuPaul's Nag Race.
00:07:20The dolls are in the stalls.
00:07:22We are all looking like the nastiest county fair you have ever seen, and I feel right at home.
00:07:31On your mark.
00:07:34Get set.
00:07:37Go!
00:07:42I feel like Charlie XDX with her bouncy titties.
00:07:46Whoa!
00:07:47I'm on a horse.
00:07:52I don't think horses run like this, but me and my horse, we're getting some air.
00:07:55Yee-haw!
00:08:05Whee-haw!
00:08:09Whee-haw!
00:08:11Whee-haw!
00:08:13Ha-ha-ha!
00:08:16Ladykins, let's give a big ol' yee-haw to our winner, Discord Adam.
00:08:25Yee-haw!
00:08:27I won!
00:08:28This is my second mini-challenge win, so I think in Discord math, two minis make a maxi,
00:08:34so I'm on the board, everybody.
00:08:36Condragulations, Discord.
00:08:37You've won a purse of $2,500.
00:08:41Woo!
00:08:42Honey!
00:08:43Ladykins, now that you've rode them hard and put them up wet, it's time to pay tribute
00:08:50to some mighty fine men that carry on a great American tradition.
00:08:56Straight from the rodeo, please give a warm drag race welcome to a posse of queer cowboys.
00:09:04Oh, my God!
00:09:06Come on in, boys.
00:09:09Hey!
00:09:10How's it going?
00:09:12How are you?
00:09:13Damn!
00:09:14These are men!
00:09:15Hi, boys.
00:09:17Hey!
00:09:17Oh, my goodness.
00:09:19Oh!
00:09:20The facial hair, the cowboy hats, the big ol' belt buckles.
00:09:24I feel like I'm back in Texas.
00:09:26Howdy, partner.
00:09:27Howdy.
00:09:28Howdy.
00:09:28Howdy.
00:09:28Please introduce yourselves.
00:09:30Hey, y'all.
00:09:31I'm Colton from Oklahoma.
00:09:33I do horseback riding speed events because I like to ride fast and hard.
00:09:37Woo!
00:09:38Hi.
00:09:38I'm Greg.
00:09:39I'm from Phoenix, Arizona, and I'm the current gay rodeo all-around champion.
00:09:43Oh, awesome.
00:09:44Hi, ladies.
00:09:45I'm Michael.
00:09:45I'm from Denver, Colorado, and I'm the current vice president of the International Gay Rodeo
00:09:49Association.
00:09:50Hey!
00:09:50Hey!
00:09:51How's it going?
00:09:51My name's Jason from Kingsburg, Colorado, and I'm a steer wrestler.
00:09:54Oh, awesome.
00:09:55Howdy, ladies.
00:09:56I'm Terry from Melbourne, Oklahoma.
00:09:57I'm a retired rodeo judge.
00:09:59Love that.
00:09:59Wow.
00:10:00Howdy, ladies.
00:10:01My name's Chris.
00:10:02I'm from Yale, Oklahoma.
00:10:03I do roping events, and I can ride anything with hair on it.
00:10:06Ooh!
00:10:07My queens, for this week's maxi challenge, you need to turn these dashing desperados into
00:10:15dazzling dolls.
00:10:16Ooh!
00:10:17Now, Discord.
00:10:18Yes?
00:10:19Since you won the mini challenge, you get to pick your partner first.
00:10:23Ooh!
00:10:24Who do you choose?
00:10:27Well, Colton, I see those ear gauges, so I choose you.
00:10:31Perfect.
00:10:34Now, Discord, you also get to pair up the rest of our cowboys and queens.
00:10:40That's fun.
00:10:42Uh-huh.
00:10:43I think everyone in the room is a little nervous about how this could go, because two weeks
00:10:51ago, every single person in this room said that Discord should go home.
00:10:55Discord.
00:10:56Discord.
00:10:57Discord.
00:10:57Discord.
00:10:58So, I really have no idea which way she's going to play this.
00:11:03Oh, my gosh.
00:11:04There's a lot to think about here.
00:11:05Mmm.
00:11:08Discord.
00:11:09You also get to pair up the rest of our cowboys and queens.
00:11:14Jane.
00:11:16I'm going to give you...
00:11:20Terry?
00:11:21Ooh.
00:11:22Get out over here, Terry.
00:11:23I like old people, but I feel pretty sure that Discord is giving me the person that
00:11:31seems to be the most obviously difficult makeover subject, because I am in the lead and certainly
00:11:39beating her by a long shot right now.
00:11:40Mikey.
00:11:41His sister?
00:11:42I'm going to give you...
00:11:44Michael.
00:11:46I'm Mikey.
00:11:47Perfect.
00:11:49Darlene.
00:11:50Darlene.
00:11:52Hmm.
00:11:53I'm going to give you...
00:11:56Chris?
00:11:57Hello.
00:11:58Watch it, bitch.
00:11:59Hello.
00:11:59Nice to meet you.
00:11:59I'm going to give you a hug.
00:12:01Nene Coco.
00:12:03I will give you...
00:12:06Jason.
00:12:07All right, you're done.
00:12:07Get in here, Jason!
00:12:09Oh, my gosh.
00:12:10Oh!
00:12:11Oh!
00:12:13Oh!
00:12:13Right, I'm telling you.
00:12:14Jason.
00:12:15And that means Greg from Phoenix is paired with Juicy Love Dion.
00:12:21Go on over, Greg.
00:12:22Yes, Greg.
00:12:25Oh!
00:12:26I love a hug.
00:12:28Now feel free to use your own drag, plus cosmetics provided by Anastasia Beverly Hills.
00:12:34Remember, queens, tomorrow, Miss Madame Michelle down at the local watering hole is going to be looking for a strong
00:12:43drag family resemblance.
00:12:46Keep that in mind.
00:12:48We got it.
00:12:49We got it.
00:12:50Razors, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
00:12:55Woo!
00:12:58So excited to have you here.
00:12:59So, Greg, tell me about you.
00:13:02Well, I am from a reservation in Arizona.
00:13:05What a good name.
00:13:06Navajo.
00:13:07Oh, I love that.
00:13:08Yeah, and I've been doing rodeo since I was a little kid.
00:13:10That's awesome.
00:13:11How long have you been in the rodeo world?
00:13:14So, I've been in the gay rodeo world for 32 years.
00:13:17Oh, my God.
00:13:18That's incredible.
00:13:18The gay rodeo itself has been going on for almost 50 years.
00:13:21Really?
00:13:21You can believe that.
00:13:22Rodeo is generally a heterosexual driven sport, but we welcome everybody.
00:13:29It's a welcome, open safe space.
00:13:30All are welcome to participate.
00:13:32I'm obsessed.
00:13:33The gay rodeo, I'm going to the next one in my giant belt buckle and 10-gallon hat.
00:13:38How has it been being queer in the rodeo scene?
00:13:41Well, in the gay rodeo, it's fine, but in the regular rodeo, it was, I'd say the country
00:13:46is like, the country people are like 50 years behind.
00:13:49And then having a high-pitched voice like this, come after me left and right.
00:13:53Don't worry.
00:13:54Mama handled it.
00:13:56Have you ever been in drag before?
00:13:59No.
00:13:59So basically, the looks that I have in mind is two trashy bitches in Vegas.
00:14:04Been there, done that.
00:14:05Yes.
00:14:07When I say trashy bitches, I mean, I mean trashy bitches.
00:14:11I'm going to look like my mother.
00:14:14I'm not exactly the glamour queen, you know?
00:14:17And I'm like, do I need to apologize?
00:14:19Like, is he expecting a pageant gown?
00:14:20And he comes, like, just straight out with, he's also a trashy bitch.
00:14:24And I'm like, oh, this is going to be fantastic.
00:14:29All of the girls two weeks ago said that I should go home.
00:14:33So now we have to win.
00:14:34Now we extra have to win.
00:14:35Why did they want you to go home?
00:14:36They're mad that I get Ru's attention.
00:14:38They're mad that I'm pretty.
00:14:39And they're mad that my makeup is, in my opinion, also the best of all the girls.
00:14:44Like, I would want me to go home too.
00:14:46I do makeup every day back home as a makeup artist.
00:14:48So I've put plenty of people in drag and I can make them look exactly like me.
00:14:53I'm very competitive and I love competing against my friends.
00:14:58But I also enjoy it more when I beat these people.
00:15:01I truly got the perfect canvas and the perfect person for me.
00:15:04He has my facial features.
00:15:07So we are going to slay this challenge.
00:15:10You seem galvanized and ready to do it.
00:15:15I'm ready to tackle it.
00:15:16Are you down to shave your beard?
00:15:17Yeah.
00:15:18Only thing I will not let you do is shave my eyebrows.
00:15:20Okay.
00:15:21You have nice hair too.
00:15:21You have a lot of hair.
00:15:22Yeah.
00:15:22Do you mullet?
00:15:23Yeah.
00:15:24Same.
00:15:26Same.
00:15:28Okay.
00:15:28That's Terry.
00:15:29We're on the same page.
00:15:31We do have matching mullets.
00:15:32And I know I can connect to anybody who has a mullet.
00:15:34What is it like being a gay cowboy?
00:15:38It's my happy place.
00:15:40Yeah.
00:15:40Yeah.
00:15:41When I came out, that was one of the issues I had coming out was I was giving up a
00:15:49way of
00:15:49life.
00:15:50And when I found out there was a gay rodeo, I fell in love.
00:15:52I am really sort of struck by just how nice of a guy he is, which is like making me
00:16:01feel
00:16:01kind of emotional.
00:16:02This guy has led this life that is so wildly different from mine, but he's also part of
00:16:08the reason that I can do what I am doing right now.
00:16:12And I just really want to make sure that like he has a good time doing this.
00:16:16As I mentioned, this shit is a little bit painful.
00:16:20No pain, no gain.
00:16:21Exactly.
00:16:22Exactly.
00:16:23I will also probably tell you this is not the first time I've put on a dress.
00:16:26What's your drag experience then?
00:16:28I actually was a host of Drag Queen Bingo in Denver.
00:16:34Mikey's cowboy is a former drag queen, which like, I'm sorry, referee?
00:16:40Like, can we get a ruling on this?
00:16:42Is this allowed?
00:16:44Oh, she's thick, bitch.
00:16:47Coming here, and I will tell you, I'm terrified of my own femininity.
00:16:52I'm not scared of being gay.
00:16:53I'm open and all that.
00:16:54But, you know, people, I present like this.
00:16:57It's very difficult to be, you know, to embrace that feminine part.
00:17:00Was it just from like childhood?
00:17:02It was always kind of like there was that separation.
00:17:05Men were men and girls were girls.
00:17:07Yeah.
00:17:07My cowboy Jason is somebody who for their entire life has had to hide parts of themselves for safety.
00:17:15I'm learning that he was never afforded this space to express his queerness or his femininity.
00:17:23I hope that through this experience we can reconnect with some of that femininity.
00:17:27And that's the beautiful part about drag is you do get to explore those parts of yourself.
00:17:32I think there is a lot of fear in this moment.
00:17:36But Jason is so ready to learn what this workroom has to offer.
00:17:40And I think Jason is ready to pull the mask down just a little bit.
00:17:45I have some sickening looks prepared for us.
00:17:48It's like an homage to my culture.
00:17:51You know, I want to give us like a Carmen Miranda type of vibe.
00:17:54Okay.
00:17:54So it's going to be very big sleeves.
00:17:56It's a huge train.
00:17:57So my idea for this runway is this like two piece moment.
00:18:02Arm.
00:18:02Mm-hmm.
00:18:05Sorry, it's twisted.
00:18:06Yes.
00:18:08What am I going to wear underneath?
00:18:10Um.
00:18:12I don't think Juicy did the calculation that her makeover partner probably would not be Juicy-sized.
00:18:22I definitely need to cover you up some more.
00:18:25I want to see how-
00:18:26It's a big body.
00:18:27I got you, baby.
00:18:28I got to adjust because I've never dressed somebody this size.
00:18:32I've never dressed a man before.
00:18:33So, I got some work to do.
00:18:36Baby.
00:18:38Can we see?
00:18:39Can we see how this headpiece look?
00:18:41I'll join you.
00:18:42Let me see.
00:18:42Hold on.
00:18:42One sec.
00:18:47Oh my god.
00:18:50See, that could have been you.
00:18:52Wow, NeNe.
00:18:55That's horrible looking.
00:18:56Anyways.
00:18:57How are you going to be able to swim in that swimming cap?
00:19:01NeNe's giving Bugs life.
00:19:03What are y'all wearing?
00:19:05No.
00:19:06I'm just confused.
00:19:08Discord, get your daughter together.
00:19:10Mind your business, bitches.
00:19:12You just wait until we get to the main stage.
00:19:14I know that I can bring this together.
00:19:16And I can make it work.
00:19:19Let me see if I can get this.
00:19:21Oh.
00:19:21Lord Jesus.
00:19:23Girl, this ain't gonna work.
00:19:25This week's challenge is a drag makeover.
00:19:28Oh, honey.
00:19:30Honey.
00:19:30You can't clock me.
00:19:31You can't clock it.
00:19:32We gotta transform these gay cowboys into our drag daughters.
00:19:37Honestly, pretty good.
00:19:38Just keep those steps kinda nice and long.
00:19:40To be fair to my cowboy, for a six-year-old man who has never walked in heels, he's not
00:19:45doing bad.
00:19:47He's also not doing great.
00:19:50Ladies of the night.
00:19:51It's, it's really stiff.
00:19:54Yeah, I'm not buying.
00:19:55That's okay.
00:19:55Nobody was asking you to, babe.
00:19:57So, let's just, without even trying anything.
00:20:00Oh.
00:20:03Bitch, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:20:06You got it, girl.
00:20:07Oh.
00:20:07The hips are moving the right way.
00:20:09She doesn't look like Discord.
00:20:11It's amazing.
00:20:12Oh, there we go.
00:20:13Oh my god, see, you already got this.
00:20:14I think my cowboy might be better at walking than I am.
00:20:19It's so obnoxious.
00:20:22Well, howdy!
00:20:24Howdy!
00:20:26Darlene and Chris, come on over.
00:20:30Yeah, you had a great week last week.
00:20:33The judges all commented on the shift.
00:20:35What did it feel like from your perspective?
00:20:37It was just, like, really kind of, like, making that decision in my mind to just have fun.
00:20:42And if I'm having fun, is it an invitation for you and the rest of the panel to kind of
00:20:48just join me wherever it was I was going?
00:20:50Truer words have never been spoken.
00:20:52You gotta remember that, too, for you, Chris, because that's what drag is all about.
00:20:56Mm-hmm.
00:20:57Have you ever walked in high heels?
00:20:58Yes.
00:20:59You have?
00:20:59I clean my house in them.
00:21:00You clean your house in them.
00:21:02How high are your heels?
00:21:04Like, stripper heels.
00:21:05Really?
00:21:05Big ones, yeah.
00:21:06Oh, so you're one step ahead of the competition.
00:21:09I'm a step ahead of all these bitches.
00:21:12Now, Chris, what events do you compete in?
00:21:15So, steer deco.
00:21:16Is that, like, art deco?
00:21:18So, they let a steer out.
00:21:20Is that a cow?
00:21:21With no nuts.
00:21:23A steer is a cow with no nuts.
00:21:25Yes.
00:21:26I think I've got the title for my next book.
00:21:29I'm excited for you, Chris.
00:21:31All right, kids, get back to work.
00:21:33All right, Juicy and Greg, come on over.
00:21:36Let's go, let's go.
00:21:37How's it going?
00:21:37Terrific.
00:21:38Lovely.
00:21:39You have a lot of fancy outfits, like country and western star, like fringes and all that
00:21:43kind of stuff.
00:21:43I think I accessorize Molly with that stuff.
00:21:48Uh-huh.
00:21:48I can't really use fringe, because when I'm roping, it might get tangled in a rope, and...
00:21:52Who cares?
00:21:53You look fabulous.
00:21:54Now, you were in the bottom last week.
00:21:57Yes, I was.
00:21:57Yeah.
00:21:58What did you learn about yourself?
00:21:59That I was a bit too nice, and I could have brought more of a character to the roast.
00:22:05Yeah, you know, it just felt like you hadn't found your voice yet.
00:22:09Yeah.
00:22:10I have to stand more in my power and my bad bitch energy and just bring it out.
00:22:15Like, when the music comes on, like, it comes out of me in that way.
00:22:19But my voice is something that I am going to harness and ride into the sunset.
00:22:24It's just something that you find after a while, a certain style that becomes your own.
00:22:29I can't wait.
00:22:30I always love it when the kids get into drag.
00:22:33It'll be interesting to see what emerges from your personality.
00:22:36I can serve some looks.
00:22:39Okay, we're going to hold you to that.
00:22:41I'm ready.
00:22:42All right, Miss Ropey Doe.
00:22:43You're getting ready for her walk, baby.
00:22:44Okay.
00:22:45You're getting ready for the walk, baby.
00:22:47Discord and Colton, come on over.
00:22:49Hello.
00:22:51Now, what events do you participate in at the rodeo?
00:22:54Calf roping.
00:22:55I do the barrel racing, pole bending.
00:22:58Pole bending?
00:22:59On the horse.
00:23:00On the horse.
00:23:01Pole bending.
00:23:01Yes.
00:23:02What does that look like?
00:23:03We get out of the gates.
00:23:05I feel her heart beat through my butthole before we take down.
00:23:08And she books it.
00:23:10And then we turn the end pole as fast as we can.
00:23:12And you just bob and weave, bob and weave, bob and weave.
00:23:14Then you just haul ass home.
00:23:17Okay.
00:23:19So, I see you got these little purses there.
00:23:22Yes.
00:23:22Have you chosen a name yet?
00:23:23I'm going to be Harmony.
00:23:24Discord and Harmony.
00:23:25Discord and Harmony.
00:23:26Discord and Harmony.
00:23:26Discord and Harmony.
00:23:28So, like, I wanted to be, like, the mean, like, bitchy, like, punk girl at school.
00:23:31And he's going to be, like, the mean preppy girl at school.
00:23:34I want to do a nod to Clueless, to Legally Blonde, to Mean Girls, to all the gay movies we
00:23:39all grew up watching.
00:23:40All right.
00:23:40Now, you know, Michelle's going to be looking for a family resemblance.
00:23:43She doesn't really take to these highfalutin concepts too much.
00:23:48Well, I think what's good is that the preppy girls are mean.
00:23:51The punk girls are mean.
00:23:52So, it's, like, we have the same face, but, like, the opposite aesthetic.
00:23:56But it'll look cohesive.
00:23:57Listen, listen.
00:23:58If you can make it work, but if you have to explain it, just be prepared.
00:24:03Rue's not picking up the vibe in what I'm laying down.
00:24:06Thank you, Rue.
00:24:07But once she sees it, I think she'll get it.
00:24:09We are so deep into the competition, and I have yet to win anything other than mini-challenges.
00:24:15I am dying for a win.
00:24:20All right, Jason and NeNe, come on down.
00:24:24What does that sash say?
00:24:26What's up?
00:24:26Mr. Colorado Gay Rodeo Association.
00:24:29First runner-up.
00:24:30So, who won?
00:24:31I'm not saying his name.
00:24:34There was collusion.
00:24:35Oh, there was collusion.
00:24:36There was collusion.
00:24:37Okay.
00:24:37So, you got Miss NeNe Coco.
00:24:40And Miss NeNe Coco has won...
00:24:42Two challenges.
00:24:43Two challenges.
00:24:44You gonna make it three with Miss Jason?
00:24:47Absolutely.
00:24:48She is a diva, and it is ready to explode.
00:24:52I can feel it.
00:24:53Okay.
00:24:54Jason, have you ever done drag before?
00:24:56No.
00:24:57You have a cute little nose.
00:24:58That's gonna be whittled down really nicely.
00:25:01Oh, yeah.
00:25:02I see some cats with plumes coming out of them there.
00:25:05I was hoping to illustrate the mother-daughter experience, and I was gonna be a beautiful butterfly,
00:25:11and this is gonna be my baby caterpillar.
00:25:14Now, you know Michelle's gonna bring up the family resemblance thing.
00:25:17Yes.
00:25:18That's her thing.
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:19You know, everybody has their thing.
00:25:20Yeah.
00:25:21Michelle's thing is what?
00:25:23Family resemblance.
00:25:24Right.
00:25:25And being a whore.
00:25:27All right, kids.
00:25:28We'll get back to work.
00:25:29Can't wait to see ya.
00:25:30All right.
00:25:31Thank you, Ru.
00:25:31All right, Mikey and Michael.
00:25:34Oh, what pretty hire you've got there.
00:25:37Thank you, Ru.
00:25:38We're going old Hollywood red carpet.
00:25:41Oh, wow.
00:25:41That's really pretty.
00:25:43And what's gonna push you over the top this week?
00:25:45We are gonna walk it like it is the red carpet, and we have paparazzi around us, and we're the
00:25:50sheds.
00:25:51That's what it's all about.
00:25:52Well, that's what you gotta do.
00:25:54Have you done drag before?
00:25:56Honestly, I have to say yes, Ru, I have.
00:25:57You have.
00:25:58There's a royalty in the gay rodeo, and I was Miss International Gay Rodeo in 2000.
00:26:03Oh, my gosh.
00:26:05Did you have your fingers crossed that you would get Michael?
00:26:07I feel like fate did put us together, getting to know Michael a little bit more.
00:26:11I think this is a really great match.
00:26:13This is a title holder.
00:26:14All right, well, have fun, and I can't wait.
00:26:17Thanks, Ru, so much.
00:26:18Jane and Terry, come on over.
00:26:22Are those turkey feathers?
00:26:24They're, I think they're cock feathers.
00:26:26Cock feathers.
00:26:27Beautiful.
00:26:28Hi, Terry.
00:26:29Hi.
00:26:30How old were you when you participated in your first rodeo?
00:26:33Oscar.
00:26:34And what event did you participate in?
00:26:36Bulls and steers.
00:26:36Where you roped them?
00:26:38I rode them.
00:26:38You rode the bull and the steer?
00:26:41Yes.
00:26:42Okay.
00:26:42Have you figured out the connection between drag and rodeo yet?
00:26:46You know, Terry is discovering how physically demanding drag is.
00:26:49Well, you've got the heels on already.
00:26:50And we've got the heels, and he has been very adamant that we are training in these heels.
00:26:54Yeah.
00:26:54And I think Terry will probably regret wearing closed toes.
00:26:59Do you have a name yet?
00:27:00Yeah, we settled on Maybe Don't.
00:27:02Ooh, Maybe Don't.
00:27:03Maybe Don't.
00:27:03Maybe Don't, honey.
00:27:04I love that name.
00:27:06Well, you love them cock feathers, don't you?
00:27:10Covered in cock feathers.
00:27:12Can't get enough of them.
00:27:13I might have to take this home.
00:27:14Oh, there's cock feather in your mouth, Terry.
00:27:17Behave!
00:27:18Never.
00:27:21Well, I'm so excited to see Terry stomping that runway with those heels.
00:27:26Thank you, Rue.
00:27:28All right, listen up, Buffalo girls.
00:27:30Ooh.
00:27:30Listen up.
00:27:31Now, I know this ain't your first rodeo.
00:27:34But tomorrow, you will be making your drag family debuts on the main stage.
00:27:40So, good luck and don't fuck it up.
00:27:45Thank you!
00:27:46Yeah!
00:27:49Juicy, they have your size.
00:27:51Thank you, Darlene.
00:27:52You always think of me, sister.
00:27:54Ladies, it's time for a roping lesson.
00:27:57Oh, wow.
00:27:59So, the cowboys decide to give us queens a little lesson in roping and riding.
00:28:04Now, just follow through with your arm.
00:28:06I am first thinking that I am about to nail this.
00:28:09Okay.
00:28:12Oh, that was good!
00:28:15It's not my gig, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:19There you go!
00:28:21Oh!
00:28:21Ah!
00:28:22Yes, miss!
00:28:23Yes!
00:28:27Oh, close!
00:28:29This is really classic me into competition.
00:28:31I'm always hitting the target but never quite lassoing it.
00:28:34So, safe again!
00:28:35I did tell you I was going to teach you how to steer wrestle.
00:28:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:38Okay, come on down.
00:28:39You're just steering.
00:28:39Oh, my God.
00:28:39Wait.
00:28:40Okay.
00:28:42NeNe wastes no time getting on all fours.
00:28:45All right, come up from behind.
00:28:46Here.
00:28:47What?
00:28:48Here.
00:28:49And then roll!
00:28:53You can tell it's been a minute since that lady's been wrestled.
00:28:56Jane's got a good swing.
00:28:58Yeah!
00:28:59High five.
00:29:01Yay!
00:29:01I think there's a total crossover here between this gay rodeo world and the drag world.
00:29:07Like, first of all, the gay cowboys are shady as fuck, which immediately makes me feel at home.
00:29:12If we are going to have anything to wear on the runway tomorrow, we have to get to work.
00:29:15We're ready.
00:29:16We're ready.
00:29:16But there's also this theme of people who are outsiders kind of banding together to create these little networks where
00:29:23they can be themselves.
00:29:24It has that same kind of in-group, like, community vibe.
00:29:29It's really amazing.
00:29:30You want to touch them?
00:29:31Get off me.
00:29:35Let's go, y'all.
00:29:37Hello.
00:29:38Hello.
00:29:38It's runway day, and it's time to get these cowboys into drag.
00:29:44Woo!
00:29:46This is your spot right here.
00:29:48All right.
00:29:49Are you excited to be the prettiest lady in the room?
00:29:51Exactly.
00:29:51Yes.
00:29:52Well, not prettier than you.
00:29:53I've not had this gone in 15 years.
00:29:55Really?
00:29:55It's not a lot, but it's because I have a booty chin.
00:29:58I love my booty chin!
00:30:01See, that's how I knew we were meant to be.
00:30:03There you go.
00:30:03It's the booty chin.
00:30:04Say goodbye.
00:30:05Any last words?
00:30:06Goodbye, salt and pepper.
00:30:09Here comes the booty.
00:30:11Now, today is special.
00:30:13You said it's been about five years.
00:30:15It's been about five years.
00:30:16Since you last in drag.
00:30:18Yeah.
00:30:18What was that last time in drag like?
00:30:22It was hard.
00:30:25I did it five years ago, and it had been like a three-year break in between then.
00:30:29So, to shave this off and kind of lose that little bit of masculinity is hard.
00:30:37Because I just found myself again.
00:30:39My cowboy, Michael, is sharing with me that he gave up his passion for drag
00:30:45because he didn't feel secure with the masculinity underneath it all.
00:30:52And I get it.
00:30:54There's Mikey, the glamour, and then there's like genuine Mikey underneath it all.
00:30:59Right.
00:30:59When I'm in it so often, I feel like I lose that true sense of self.
00:31:02Because they're loving the character, they're loving the persona, but they're not knowing who I am.
00:31:07And so you know it's important to make sure you're taking care of both.
00:31:11Absolutely.
00:31:11Absolutely.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:12I think today is a day to let go of any opinions of what others may have about you.
00:31:19Today is about empowering your inner diva.
00:31:22Absolutely.
00:31:23Right?
00:31:24And yes, this will be, you know, it's going to take a moment to get used to this again, but
00:31:28it is going to grow back.
00:31:29I hope that this makeover will help my new drag daughter find the power that I know she has within
00:31:35her
00:31:35and feel even more comfortable with both sides of her gender expression.
00:31:42I adore you.
00:31:43I know, I don't want to call Discord Fade, but Fade put us together for sure.
00:31:46It's true.
00:31:47Yeah.
00:31:49A lot of hair.
00:31:50He's wearing sleeves.
00:31:51He's not showing under the outfit.
00:31:53Very womanly.
00:31:54But what a real drag queen does is shave her armpits and shave her chest.
00:31:58Unless you're Nene Coco.
00:32:01Oh, goodbye.
00:32:02How we feeling?
00:32:03Nervous.
00:32:05First time since high school.
00:32:07The end of an era.
00:32:09I'm good?
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:11All right, let's do it.
00:32:12Let's do it.
00:32:14As I'm getting my cowboy ready, I honestly, I'm so stressed.
00:32:20I have thus far in the competition never once even been lower than high.
00:32:26I've won three challenges.
00:32:28So there is an expectation that I'm going to deliver something really amazing.
00:32:34Oh, Lord.
00:32:36Oh, my gosh, Terry.
00:32:38Whoa!
00:32:38You look so good.
00:32:40You are so handsome.
00:32:42Oh, my God, Terry.
00:32:43You look great.
00:32:43You are so cute.
00:32:45Honestly, Terry looks cute.
00:32:47And my hope is that at the end of this, he feels beautiful.
00:32:54How do you think your fiance is going to react?
00:32:56He's going to laugh.
00:32:57He's going to laugh?
00:32:58Mm-hmm.
00:32:59I haven't been clean shaven since I left the army.
00:33:01Joining the military, it was easy to fake the masculinity because it's part of the uniform,
00:33:07so to speak.
00:33:08And it was required.
00:33:09Absolutely.
00:33:10You had no choice.
00:33:11Yeah, you can't go flouncing around the barracks.
00:33:13You know, Barry Wincher was a really good friend of mine.
00:33:18We worked under the same command for a while, and so, you know, we became friends and sort
00:33:23of confided in each other.
00:33:25Yeah.
00:33:25And he was dating a trans woman, and some of our other people around him told him,
00:33:29you can't bring a drag queen to the company picnic.
00:33:32And he didn't listen, and it cost him his life.
00:33:38Some of his fellow soldiers found out, and they beat him to death with a baseball bat.
00:33:42Oh, my God.
00:33:43I was encouraged not to sort of have any kind of feeling, emotion, or opinion about it
00:33:49to keep myself safe.
00:33:50I said and did nothing.
00:33:52It was heartbreaking because you can't mourn your friend for fear of you being next.
00:33:58Oh, my God.
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:02And it's, I was like, that's going to be me if I don't figure out how to fake this a
00:34:09little bit better.
00:34:09So.
00:34:10I'm so sorry.
00:34:11Can I give you a hug?
00:34:12Oh, my God.
00:34:14I know that I don't know you fully yet.
00:34:16Oh, don't cry.
00:34:17But I do love you because the things that you have gone through, like, I have so much
00:34:22love for you.
00:34:23The things you've been through are really heavy.
00:34:28This is about celebrating his courage and his bravery and him finding this piece of
00:34:33his femininity that he has neglected before.
00:34:37I don't always have the words to say.
00:34:41The fact that you want the words is enough.
00:34:48I don't know.
00:34:49Listen, I have one win.
00:34:50And since then, I've been pretty close to almost winning each challenge after that.
00:34:56I don't know what is preventing me from getting that win, but I want this one.
00:35:02Well, we need the second one.
00:35:03We need this.
00:35:04We need this win.
00:35:04Ladies.
00:35:05Uh-oh.
00:35:06The library is open.
00:35:08Oh!
00:35:09No!
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:11Which victim do I want to eat first?
00:35:13Looks like you already ate.
00:35:15Oh!
00:35:15Oh!
00:35:15You already ate?
00:35:17I would have never in my life been like, I have a bunch in common with, like, gay cowboys.
00:35:22But we're hanging out with them, and I'm like, girl, y'all are catty bitches.
00:35:27We're gonna cover up your shame.
00:35:28Anybody gonna face my ass?
00:35:30I thought a caterpillar was supposed to turn into a beautiful butterfly.
00:35:33This bitch looks like she hit a fucking windshield going 90 miles an hour.
00:35:39Is this how y'all talk every day?
00:35:41It's usually a little, uh, less PG.
00:36:04Put the bass in your rock.
00:36:06Head to toe.
00:36:08Let your whole body top.
00:36:10Wow.
00:36:11That nudes.
00:36:13Wow.
00:36:13Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:36:16She puts the sass in sarsaparilla.
00:36:19Michelle Visage.
00:36:21Yeah.
00:36:21Michelle, what is your favorite western?
00:36:23The Magnificent Seven and a Half.
00:36:28He's got a passion for fashion.
00:36:31It's La Roche.
00:36:32La, what is your favorite western?
00:36:34He broke my back mountain.
00:36:39I think I saw that last night.
00:36:41And the fabulous Danielle Pinnock.
00:36:44Thanks for having me.
00:36:45I'm so excited to be here.
00:36:47Now, Danielle, what's your favorite western?
00:36:49I would have to say Titty Slickers.
00:36:53I think I saw that one last night, too.
00:36:57This week, we challenge our queens to turn rodeo kings into ravishing queens.
00:37:03And tonight on the runway, category is Drag Family Resemblance.
00:37:07Racers, start your engines.
00:37:09And may the best drag queen win.
00:37:17Category is Drag Family Resemblance.
00:37:20Up first, Nene Coco and Patsy Coco.
00:37:25Are those antennae in your pocket, or you're just happy to see me?
00:37:28Is that a bee?
00:37:30Uh, sure.
00:37:31We are floating down the runway in our insect couture.
00:37:34From antennae to wings to thorax, it is all hand-stitched.
00:37:38My drag daughter is wearing this gorgeous neon yellow gown covered in black sequin.
00:37:43Work, daughter!
00:37:44We both share the same antennas and lashes.
00:37:47I've got one hungry little caterpillar here,
00:37:49and she is ready for that win.
00:37:51She's the caterpillar of society.
00:37:53Oh, it's a caterpillar.
00:37:54Yeah.
00:37:55Just realized right now.
00:37:57Mikey Meeks and Morgan Meeks.
00:38:00From the Michelle Visage Collection.
00:38:03Mikey Meeks stars in a Meeks family affair featuring her drag daughter, Morgan Meeks.
00:38:11You cannot deny the family resemblance here.
00:38:14We have the same wig going different ways.
00:38:17The makeup is identical.
00:38:19I gave her the cocktail because daughter wants to show off her legs.
00:38:22Yes!
00:38:23Those aren't easy heels either.
00:38:25No.
00:38:25The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, darling.
00:38:29Ain't nothing meek about these two.
00:38:30It's Big Ange and Little Ange.
00:38:32Okay.
00:38:35Juicy Love Dion and Lucy Love Dion.
00:38:39Ooh.
00:38:39Lucy and Juicy sounds like a good night out.
00:38:43The Love Dion girls are pumping down this runway like two Afro-Cuban goddesses.
00:38:50I had to make a bodysuit to cover up my cowboy.
00:38:52So, thankfully, I learned how to sew in this competition.
00:38:55Lucy Love Dion eats up the rodeo circuit every time,
00:38:58and now she's eating up this drag race runway stage.
00:39:01Should I quit my job?
00:39:03Because she's about to take over.
00:39:04It's Chiquita and Boquita.
00:39:06Havana, she better don't.
00:39:09Lucy, you got some explaining to do.
00:39:14Jane don't, and maybe don't.
00:39:17Ladies and gentlemen, the Judds.
00:39:19The don't sisters are known for their boa jobs.
00:39:24The concept that I'm serving is this vaudeville sister.
00:39:28This is old-school glamour.
00:39:31There's vintage hair.
00:39:32We both have our cockfeather boas.
00:39:36Mamey is feeling it.
00:39:38It's important to take care of her
00:39:39and make sure that she has a good time going down this runway,
00:39:42and I'm just really glad that he seems like he's having a good time.
00:39:47Oh, brothel.
00:39:49See you at the chicken ranch, ladies.
00:39:51Discord Adams in Harmony Adams.
00:39:55She's clueless.
00:39:56As if.
00:39:59Harmony and I are sisters at the same school,
00:40:01but we sit at different lunch tables
00:40:02because she's preppy, and I hate that.
00:40:05And I'm punk, and she hates that even more.
00:40:08Kinda wanna steal her boyfriend.
00:40:12We are both wearing tweed.
00:40:14We have the same hairstyle.
00:40:15We are just an opposite color scheme.
00:40:17We look so stinking cute.
00:40:19She's pushing me.
00:40:20I'm pushing her.
00:40:21I am so proud of my baby drab daughter.
00:40:24She is killing it.
00:40:26Look, it's Tuesday and Wednesday, Adams.
00:40:31Darlene Mitchell and Bonnie Mitchell.
00:40:35Girls trip!
00:40:35You know, what happens in Reno usually requires a penicillin shot.
00:40:42My sister and I cashed in our vacation days, and we are headed to Reno, baby.
00:40:46We love a thrift store.
00:40:48So we are rolling the dice on this look.
00:40:50We've got our margaritas in hand.
00:40:52We've got our matching little purses.
00:40:54And we may be sisters from another mister, but mama taught us how to paint.
00:40:58We've got the tacky blue eyeshadow and a bold red lip to match.
00:41:02We are ready to win.
00:41:04And bike shorts, of course, because you never know when you're gonna have to hightail it out of there.
00:41:08Just a couple of slots.
00:41:10Yes, those slots are loose.
00:41:12Mm-hmm, I've heard.
00:41:14These girls are definitely getting lucky.
00:41:18Welcome, y'all.
00:41:21Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
00:41:25First up, Nene Coco.
00:41:27And this is Patsy Coco.
00:41:31Ooh.
00:41:34I don't know if you know how particular I am in this challenge.
00:41:38And even though they are gorgeous and you both look amazing,
00:41:41and you did a beautiful time delivering it,
00:41:43it's not a family resemblance to me.
00:41:46This is a costume with the same antennas and eyelashes,
00:41:49but not a family resemblance.
00:41:51I also didn't know what the fuck Jason was.
00:41:54Michelle had to tell me it was a caterpillar.
00:41:56I thought it was a B at first.
00:41:57I thought the costumes were cute, but there's no family resemblance at all.
00:42:02Where I'm from, it's an old saying that says,
00:42:05Mama's baby, Papa's maybe.
00:42:10Listen, black people got family everywhere, okay?
00:42:13And you could be my cousin.
00:42:15From one curvy girl to the next, I think you look absolutely beautiful.
00:42:20This outfit is hitting you in all the right places.
00:42:22You are just snatched.
00:42:25So, Patsy, what do you think the people at the rodeo would think of this get up?
00:42:31I'm so terrified of my own femininity that I present myself very gruff, very aggressive.
00:42:36I wrestle steer.
00:42:37So, for anyone to see me this soft, sort of goofing around, I think it'll be like, hey, there's another
00:42:43part of you and we love it.
00:42:45Wow.
00:42:46You know, I always feel more butch in drag than I do.
00:42:51Thank you very much.
00:42:52Up next, Mikey Meeks.
00:42:55And this is Morgan Meeks.
00:42:59Y'all are giving opulent.
00:43:02Truly.
00:43:03I was thinking, y'all look like y'all could have been in the Viennetta ice cream commercial.
00:43:06Like, y'all just look rich, you know?
00:43:09I'm from Jersey.
00:43:10I'm like, this is everything I grew up with.
00:43:12It's literally like looking at season three of me and season 14 of me.
00:43:18There is no question you two are related to me, but yes, you're related to each other.
00:43:26I renamed you Nichelle and Rochelle Visage.
00:43:30Okay.
00:43:31We'll take it.
00:43:32Yes.
00:43:33Michael, you really, really held your arm against the queen.
00:43:37And your feet look so tiny in those shoes.
00:43:40Morgan, this is not your first rodeo in heels.
00:43:44Yes, yes.
00:43:44No, ma'am.
00:43:45No, it's not.
00:43:46How different is Morgan from the drag you've done before?
00:43:50It's a rebirth.
00:43:51Mm-hmm.
00:43:52To come out here and stomp the runway again and just get that adrenaline rush was everything.
00:43:57Why did you give it up?
00:43:59I lost my masculinity and I thought giving up drag would help me find it again.
00:44:04I was wrong.
00:44:05I'm more powerful now.
00:44:06I stand in power today.
00:44:08Praise him.
00:44:09Right.
00:44:09Won't he do it?
00:44:10Yes, you will.
00:44:11Welcome back.
00:44:14Up next, Juicy Love Dion.
00:44:18And this is Lucy Love Dion.
00:44:23You two make complete sense.
00:44:25The hair choices, the makeup choices, the jewelry choices.
00:44:29It's not always about matchy match, but it's about understanding there's a cohesion.
00:44:35One thing I hate to do is agree with Michelle.
00:44:40But everything she said about you guys is correct.
00:44:42You are a mother and daughter and you've been able to turn Greg into Celia Cruz.
00:44:48Yes.
00:44:48That's all I saw when I looked at her.
00:44:50Greg, what have you learned about yourself in this process?
00:44:52I'm so used to being on top in the rodeo.
00:44:56Yeah.
00:44:58And Juicy just made me into a beautiful woman.
00:45:02It's empowering because I couldn't have done this myself.
00:45:06So I really love you.
00:45:09Up next, Jane Don't.
00:45:12And this is Maybe Don't.
00:45:15Jane, Maybe is extremely glamorous.
00:45:18With that said, you know I'm going to tell you I'm not getting family resemblance.
00:45:24The style of the dress is different.
00:45:26The jewelry is different.
00:45:28You have to give us something that would make us believe that you're related apart from the same hair color.
00:45:34Finally, I disagree.
00:45:36I totally see a family resemblance.
00:45:39I see that you tried to beat the face and make the bone structure similar.
00:45:43You definitely are related.
00:45:44I have to agree with Law.
00:45:46Y'all are giving twins.
00:45:47Literally when you walked out, I said, what episode of Parent Trap is this?
00:45:50Lindsay Lohan would be proud.
00:45:53I have a soft spot for redheads.
00:45:55My hubby is a redhead.
00:45:56And y'all truly are the DEIs of Caucasian.
00:46:00Terry, did you have fun?
00:46:02I had an amazing time.
00:46:04Jane has just been over the top to make sure everything I needed, wanted, happened.
00:46:10I was very stressed during this process because I just really wanted to take care of Terry and make sure
00:46:16that
00:46:16he was having fun.
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:18I commend you for that.
00:46:19And you had so much patience and so much grace.
00:46:21And that kind of warms my bitter, cold, broken heart.
00:46:26Thank you for having me.
00:46:27I've had the best time.
00:46:29Looking this glamorous, I never dreamed I would look as good or better than you, RuPaul.
00:46:38The Cowboys are shady.
00:46:42Up next, Discord Adams.
00:46:44And this is Harmony Adams.
00:46:47This is season 1,347 of Drag Race.
00:46:53And we know what the judges are expecting and it just didn't make any fucking sense and I hate it.
00:46:58I hate it like I hate my father and I really hate my father.
00:47:02You all look like small business owners who are scammers.
00:47:05And I kind of was feeling it, but I don't really see siblings or mother-daughter.
00:47:11You two are best friends.
00:47:13Even the updos are different, different color, different style.
00:47:16Again, this is drag family resemblance, so I expect you to look alike.
00:47:22However, you had such a cute little act.
00:47:24You're the cutesy one and she's tripping you.
00:47:26I enjoyed the performance.
00:47:28Never thought to sell the day that I was the nice judge.
00:47:31Sorry.
00:47:32Harmony, what category do you think Discord would excel at in the rodeo?
00:47:38Goat dressing.
00:47:43Is that a real category?
00:47:45Yes, ma'am.
00:47:47That's where we have our underwear on our hands and you just run down, pick the goat up somebody and
00:47:52the other one shoves the underwear on you, run back across the line.
00:47:56They look like these.
00:47:58Come on rodeo, I hate you.
00:48:00Oh my gosh, rodeo.
00:48:03Up next, Darlene Mitchell.
00:48:06And now this is Miss Bonnie Mitchell.
00:48:10You guys were actually my favorite.
00:48:13Yes, you are giving me two happy hookers who are walking down the street saying, it's sweater weather.
00:48:21These are my kind of girls, okay?
00:48:24I'm ready to go to the all-inclusive holiday in with y'all.
00:48:27Have my Long Island iced teas and take them dice on your head and play craps with them.
00:48:32I'm obsessed.
00:48:33This is such a storytelling moment and I do believe that y'all are siblings and I do believe that
00:48:38there is also generational trauma there.
00:48:40And I am for it.
00:48:42Put the nail on the head.
00:48:43And I am into it.
00:48:45When the two of you came out, I instantly went, mm-mm, nope, your best friend's at a casino.
00:48:49But the more I got into the storyline, yeah, it's a family resemblance with therapy in the future.
00:48:56Two pills a day.
00:48:58There is definitely a family dynamic here that we probably don't want to know about.
00:49:05You know, where, like, a sister will tell the daughter that, actually, I'm not your sister, I'm your mother.
00:49:14We kind of expected this from you, Darlene.
00:49:17We did not expect for Bonnie to also take on the family aesthetic.
00:49:22I've never looked so fucking pretty in my life.
00:49:25Oh, really?
00:49:26Yes.
00:49:26This is beautiful.
00:49:28Do you look like someone in your family?
00:49:30No, no one looks as pretty in my family.
00:49:34Thank you, queens and cowboys.
00:49:37I think we've heard enough.
00:49:39While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
00:49:44Now, just between us cowpokes, what do you think?
00:49:48Starting with Nene and Patsy Coco.
00:49:51I loved the story about transformation.
00:49:54However, they were cued in a school play type of way.
00:49:58I prefer Jason out of drag, to be quite honest.
00:50:01Nene Coco has slayed every single challenge.
00:50:04Yep.
00:50:04That kid is so smart, but the family resemblance just wasn't there.
00:50:08Mikey and Morgan mixed.
00:50:10Truly giving generational wealth, and I love that.
00:50:14Absolutely, they were family, they were sister sledge.
00:50:18Stevie Wonder could see these two are related.
00:50:23Juicy and Lucy love Dion.
00:50:25I'm Jamaican, and so they would fit so well in Carnival.
00:50:28The colors were just so bright and ornate, and their performance was entertaining.
00:50:33I just love those two.
00:50:34I love the two, and I even love the names, Juicy and Lucy.
00:50:37Yes.
00:50:38Jane and Maybe Don't.
00:50:39I thought the family resemblance was definitely there.
00:50:41It was like Patsy Cline and Calvin Cline.
00:50:46Jane has not made any missteps up till now.
00:50:50I don't know why she chose to be so different with the outfits.
00:50:53She could have done a little red on her blue and a little blue on her red just to tie
00:50:57it together,
00:50:58because the silhouette was different.
00:50:59One was a gown, was an asymmetrical short dress.
00:51:02The entire panel disagrees, but for me, the same hair color does not a family resemblance make.
00:51:07Discord and Harmony, Adams.
00:51:09I did see the Clueless reference, but it just was not giving family at all.
00:51:13Listen, I had this discussion with Discord in the workroom.
00:51:17I said, I get the concept, but it's not gonna fly.
00:51:20We know Michelle is going to breed you for filth if there is no family resemblance,
00:51:25and you took your tough ass out there anyway.
00:51:27At the end of the day, this is a drag family resemblance.
00:51:31You get the opportunity to look like your partner, so make it happen.
00:51:35It's in the title.
00:51:36I don't get it.
00:51:37She did it to piss you off, Michelle.
00:51:38Yes, she did, bro.
00:51:40She frickin' did.
00:51:41Darlene and Bonnie Mitchell.
00:51:43I mean, they just look like they pay in traveler's checks still.
00:51:47They also love to dine and dash.
00:51:50Yes.
00:51:50These are my type of girls.
00:51:52Now, family resemblance, okay, there were similarities.
00:51:56Distant cousins, mother-daughter, sisters.
00:51:58Whatever it was, I bought it.
00:52:01They were fully not only related, but connected.
00:52:04All right.
00:52:05Silence.
00:52:06I have made my decision.
00:52:07Bring back my girls.
00:52:10Welcome back, queens.
00:52:11I've made some decisions.
00:52:14Oh, I meant to say, I've made some incisions.
00:52:16Oh.
00:52:17Yikes.
00:52:17Doctor.
00:52:20Juicy.
00:52:21When it comes to drag family resemblance, tonight, you served wacky.
00:52:29Darlene, you served tacky.
00:52:33And Mikey, you served Jackie.
00:52:38As in Jackie Stallone.
00:52:41Oh, yes, ma'am.
00:52:47Mikey Meeks.
00:52:50Condragulations.
00:52:50You're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:52:52What's up, baby?
00:52:53Good job, good job, good job, good job.
00:52:55Oh, my God.
00:52:56Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:52:57This is my second win, which feels so amazing.
00:53:02Ooh, my nipples are hard.
00:53:04You've won a cash tip of $5,000, plus a tip of $2,500 for your partner.
00:53:12Yes.
00:53:13Oh, my God.
00:53:14And you got $2,500.
00:53:16Ooh, we're going to the rodeo, baby.
00:53:18Hey.
00:53:18And to all our cowboys, as a token of our appreciation, each of you will receive an extra special gift
00:53:27bag from Anastasia Beverly Hills to help you as you continue on your drag journey.
00:53:35I'm going to look this gorgeous all the time.
00:53:38And remember, casting for season 19 is now open.
00:53:43Juicy Love Dion, Darlene Mitchell, you are safe.
00:53:47And you three may step to the back of the stage.
00:53:52This is the first time Jade's been in the bottom, isn't it?
00:53:55Jane Don't.
00:53:58Jane Don't.
00:53:58Your family resemblance was a big maybe.
00:54:03Oh, no.
00:54:04Discord Adams.
00:54:06Your mismatched pairing left the judges clueless.
00:54:12Nene Coco.
00:54:13Butterflies may be free, but this look could cost you.
00:54:24Jane Don't.
00:54:26You are safe.
00:54:28Yes.
00:54:32Discord.
00:54:33Nene.
00:54:35I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
00:54:39I got a lot of negative critiques, and I'm not delusional.
00:54:43I heard them this time, but I don't agree with them.
00:54:45I know that Nene is a fierce performer, but luckily this is a ballad.
00:54:51And while I'm not known for dancing, I do know I can serve a ballad.
00:54:56Two queens stand before me.
00:54:59Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
00:55:08This is my first time in the bottom two, and I am terrified.
00:55:11I've worked so hard to be here, and I am not leaving this competition.
00:55:17Discord, there's the door.
00:55:19Sorry, girl.
00:55:21The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:55:33I'm shaking.
00:55:34I know.
00:55:35My hands are like sweating.
00:55:37Good luck and don't fuck it up.
00:55:42I didn't think you'd understand me.
00:55:49How could you ever even try?
00:55:55I don't want to tiptoe, but I don't want to hide.
00:56:00But I don't want to feed this monstrous fire.
00:56:04Just want to let this story die, and I'll be alright.
00:56:11We can't be friends, but I'd like to just pretend.
00:56:19You cling to your papers and pens.
00:56:23Wait until you like me again.
00:56:27Wait for your love, my love.
00:56:31I'll wait for your love.
00:56:33Yes, Stevie.
00:56:34Come on, girls.
00:56:37Me and my truth, we sit in silence.
00:56:45We can't be friends, but I'd like to just pretend.
00:56:52You cling to your papers and pens.
00:56:56Wait until you like me again.
00:57:00Wait for your love, my love.
00:57:04I'll wait for your love.
00:57:08I know that you made me.
00:57:12I don't like how you paint me.
00:57:15Yet I'm still here hanging.
00:57:17Know what you made me.
00:57:21It's something like a daydream.
00:57:24But I feel so seen in the night.
00:57:28Something new, it's only me.
00:57:31And maybe that's all I do.
00:57:35We can't be friends, but I'd like to just pretend.
00:57:41You cling to your papers and pens.
00:57:46Wait until you like me again.
00:57:50Wait for your love.
00:57:51Hey!
00:57:52Hey!
00:57:53Love, I'll wait for your love.
00:57:57Love, I'll wait for your love.
00:58:01Love, I'll wait for your love.
00:58:02I'll wait for your love.
00:58:04Yes, girls!
00:58:06Whoo!
00:58:07Whoo!
00:58:08Whoo!
00:58:11Queens, I've made my decision.
00:58:22Nene Coco, Shantae, you stay.
00:58:27I hate this.
00:58:29You may join the other girls.
00:58:34I love you so much.
00:58:35You just love it, baby.
00:58:37That queen changed my life.
00:58:39I'm glad she's staying.
00:58:41Discord, my queen.
00:58:42No matter what comes next.
00:58:45Never, ever, sissy that walk.
00:58:52I mean that.
00:58:53Now, sashay away.
00:58:56Thank you so much.
00:58:58I have had the absolute time of my life.
00:59:01So let me walk for you one more time.
00:59:05It's gotten better, but I'm gonna do it how I used to.
00:59:13Now y'all get to see it.
00:59:17Well, see you on All Stars.
00:59:24I'm feeling incredibly proud of my partner, Parmoney.
00:59:27He looked so beautiful.
00:59:29In Discord land, I fucking nailed it.
00:59:31I am a punk rock motherfucker who is going to change the way that you see drag.
00:59:38Eat the rich, fuck the patriarchy.
00:59:41This is everything.
00:59:42You are everything.
00:59:43Discord's out.
00:59:49Conjagulations, queens.
00:59:50And remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?
00:59:54Can I get an amen up in here?
00:59:56Amen!
00:59:57Alright, now let the music play.
01:00:16Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race, you need to use your improv skills in a show we're calling
01:00:23Karen's Gone Wild.
