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.
00:00:13But that just must be all that illegal Botox.
00:00:21This sort of walk is so stiff and uncomfortable to look at,
00:00:25it reminds me of Ross Matthews.
00:00:29Kenya Pleaser.
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.
00:00:43Banana!
00:00:43It wasn't about the punchline.
00:00:45It was about, what is she gonna do next?
00:00:48Condragulations.
00:00:49You're the winner of this week's challenge.
00:00:52Juicy Love Dion.
00:00:54Shantae, you stay.
00:00:56Kenya Pleaser, sashay 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 gonna miss that lady.
00:01:22Love, all of you.
00:01:24Good luck.
00:01:26Kenya take it.
00:01:28Kenya Pleaser.
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.
00:01:39And I'm absolutely gonna 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?
00:01:48Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup.
00:01:50You're good at this.
00:01:51So talented.
00:01:51I 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?
00:01:56Look at that.
00:01:57Now we've really worked off it.
00:01:58Wow.
00:01:59It's my third time, like, lip-syncing.
00:02:02It's not a good thing.
00:02:03The judge is 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 gonna 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!
00:02:21On the board!
00:02:22I feel galvanized.
00:02:27My first win, and it's the rose.
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.
00:02:35The 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 won in 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 demeanifying 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 guys 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.
00:03:43Ding.
00:03:43Ding.
00:03:45I'm like, bitch.
00:03:46There'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 Pennock.
00:04:24RuPaul's Drag Race is the best drag queen.
00:04:27We win.
00:04:27We 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.
00:04:51Snatched 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 wanna put this out there, that Darlene has a degree in fashion design.
00:05:04Yes.
00:05:05And professionally is a hair stylist.
00:05:07Yeah.
00:05:08Yeah.
00:05:09And has been looking like that.
00:05:11Like that.
00:05:13You got in the wig and you moved that bang for 20 minutes going.
00:05:17They've been wanting countries and baby, I got it.
00:05:21Oh!
00:05:24Oh!
00:05:25She's all ready to hand her.
00:05:27Let's go!
00:05:29Roo Roo number 19.
00:05:31Oh.
00:05:31I believe the children are our future.
00:05:35Teach them well, and they will steal your purse.
00:05:39Oh!
00:05:40Oh!
00:05:40Juicy's familiar with that.
00:05:43Hello, hello, hello!
00:05:45Hi!
00:05:46Hi!
00:05:47Hey, cowboys!
00:05:48Yippee-ki, yay!
00:05:49Yee-haw!
00:05:50Well, howdy, Ladykins.
00:05:51How are you?
00:05:53We're just four weeks away from the grand finale, but this horse race ain't over yet.
00:06:00In fact, it's just heating up.
00:06:03For today's mini-challenge, you're going to compete in a hot-to-trot race.
00:06:11And you'll be riding one of these.
00:06:14Oh, what, what, what?
00:06:16Oh, pit crew!
00:06:18Yoo-hoo, boys!
00:06:21Hey!
00:06:25Sorry, ladies.
00:06:26You won't be riding Chris, but 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 in 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.
00:06:47Pretty, pretty, pretty.
00:06:48They got a fuzz 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 pen handy?
00:07:06Discord, probably.
00:07:07Hey-o!
00:07:08Okay, time's up.
00:07:11Saddle up, cowgirls.
00:07:13Saddle up.
00:07:14Ooh.
00:07:16Treat 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.
00:07:28And 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!
00:07:48I'm on a horse!
00:07:51I don't think horses run like this, but me and my horse, we're getting some air.
00:07:56Yee-haw!
00:07:58Ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:08:02Oh!
00:08:06ooh, ahh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:08:16Ladykins, let's give a big ol' yee-haw to our winner, Discord Atom.
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.
00:08:42Woo!
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!
00:09:11How's it going?
00:09:13Damn, these are men!
00:09:16Hi, boys.
00:09:17Oh my goodness.
00:09:19Oh, the facial hair, the cowboy hats, the big ol' belt buckles.
00:09:24I feel like I'm back in Texas.
00:09:26Howdy, partners.
00:09:27Howdy.
00:09:28Howdy.
00:09:29Please introduce yourselves.
00:09:31Hey, 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.
00:09:38Hi, I'm Greg.
00:09:39I'm from Phoenix, Arizona, and I'm the current gay rodeo all-around champion.
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 Association.
00:09:50Hey!
00:09:51How's it going?
00:09:51My name's Jason from Kingsburg, Colorado, and I'm a stair wrestler.
00:09:54Awesome.
00:09:55Howdy, ladies.
00:09:56I'm Terry from Melbourne, Oklahoma.
00:09:58I'm a retired rodeo judge.
00:09:59Love it.
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 dazzling dolls.
00:10:17Now, Discord, since 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 ago, every
00:10:52single person in this room said that Discord should go home.
00:10:55Discord.
00:10:56Discord.
00:10:57Discord.
00:10:57Discord.
00:10:58Discord.
00:10:58So, I really have no idea which way she's gonna play this.
00:11:03Oh, my gosh.
00:11:04There's a lot to think about here.
00:11:05Mmm.
00:11:08Discord, you also get to pair up the rest of our cowboys and queens.
00:11:14Jane, I'm going to give you...
00:11:19Terry?
00:11:21Ooh.
00:11:22Get out over here, Terry.
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24I like old people.
00:11:26But I feel pretty sure that Discord is giving me the person that seems to be the most obviously difficult
00:11:34makeover subject.
00:11:35Because I am in the lead, and certainly beating her by a long shot right now.
00:11:40Mikey, I'm going to give you...
00:11:45Michael.
00:11:46I'm Mikey.
00:11:47Perfect.
00:11:50Darlene, Darlene.
00:11:52Hmm.
00:11:53I'm going to give you...
00:11:56Chris?
00:11:57Hello.
00:11:58Watch it, bitch.
00:11:59Oh, hello.
00:11:59Nice to meet you.
00:12:00Nice to meet you.
00:12:00Can I give a hug?
00:12:01Nene Coco, I will give you...
00:12:06Jason.
00:12:07All right, you're done.
00:12:07Get in here, Jason.
00:12:09Oh, my God.
00:12:10Nice.
00:12:10Oh!
00:12:12Oh!
00:12:13Oh!
00:12:13Oh!
00:12:13Right, I'm telling you.
00:12:14And that means Greg from Phoenix is paired with Juicy Love, Dionne.
00:12:21Go on over, Greg.
00:12:22Yes, Greg.
00:12:23Yes, 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,
00:12:41is going to be looking for a strong drag family resemblance.
00:12:46Keep that in mind.
00:12:48We got it.
00:12:49We got it.
00:12:50We got it.
00:12:50Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
00:12:55Woo!
00:12:57Yeah.
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.
00:13:05Oh, my God, nice.
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.
00:13:18Oh, my God.
00:13:18That's incredible.
00:13:18The gay rodeo itself has been going on for almost 50 years.
00:13:21Really?
00:13:21I can't 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?
00:13:42Well, in the gay rodeo, it's fine, but in the regular rodeo, it was,
00:13:45I'd say the country is 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.
00:13:53Yeah.
00:13:53Don't worry, mama 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, and I'm like, do I need to apologize?
00:14:18Like, is he expecting a pageant gown?
00:14:21And he comes, like, just straight out with, he's also a trashy bitch.
00:14:25And 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.
00:14:45I 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.
00:15:11You seem galvanized and ready to, ready to do it.
00:15:15I'm ready to tackle it.
00:15:16Are you down to shave your beard?
00:15:17Yeah.
00:15:18Okay.
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.
00:15:22Do you mullet?
00:15:23Yeah.
00:15:26Same, same.
00:15:28Okay, that'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.
00:15:41When I came out, that was one of the issues I had coming out was
00:15:47I was giving up a way of life.
00:15:50Yeah.
00:15:50And when I found out there was a gay rodeo, I fell in love.
00:15:53I am really sort of struck by just how nice of a guy he is,
00:15:59which is like making me feel kind of emotional.
00:16:02This guy has led this life that is so wildly different from mine.
00:16:07But he's also part of the 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 gang.
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?
00:16:27I 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 a dick 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.
00:17:54So 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.
00:18:01Arm.
00:18:03Mm-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.
00:18:34So 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 one 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, how are you going to be able to swim in that swimming cap?
00:19:01NeNe's giving Bugs life.
00:19:03What are you all wearing?
00:19:04Are you jealous?
00:19:05No, I'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 and can make it work.
00:19:19Let me see if I can get this.
00:19:21Oh, Lord Jesus.
00:19:23Girl, this ain't going to work.
00:19:25This week's challenge is a drag makeover.
00:19:28Oh, honey.
00:19:30Honey, you can't clock me.
00:19:31You can't clock it.
00:19:32We got to transform these gay cowboys into our drag daughters.
00:19:37Honestly, pretty good.
00:19:38Just keep those steps kind of 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
00:19:46doing bad.
00:19:47He's also not doing great.
00:19:50Ladies of the night.
00:19:52It'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.
00:20:01Okay.
00:20:03Bitch, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:20:06You got it, girl.
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.
00:20:13See, you already got this.
00:20:15I think my cowboy might be better at walking than I am.
00:20:19It's so obnoxious.
00:20:22Well, howdy!
00:20:26Darlene and Chris, come on over.
00:20:30Now, you had a great week last week.
00:20:33The judges all commented on the shift.
00:20:36What 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 got to 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, yes.
00:21:06Oh, so you're one step ahead of the competition.
00:21:08I'm gonna 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 Western Star, like, fringes and all that kind 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, uh, a bit too nice, and, um, I could have brought more of a character to the
00:22:05roast.
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. I always love it when the kids get into drag.
00:22:33It'll be interesting to see what emerges from your personality.
00:22:37I can serve some looks.
00:22:39Okay, we're gonna 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. I do the barrel racing, pole bending.
00:22:58Pole bending?
00:22:59On the horse.
00:23:00On the horse. Pole bending?
00:23:01Yes.
00:23:02What does that look like?
00:23:03We get out of the gates. I feel her heart beat through my butthole before we take down.
00:23:08And she books it. And 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.
00:23:22Have you chosen a name yet?
00:23:23I'm gonna be Harmony.
00:23:24Discord and Harmony.
00:23:25Discord 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 gonna 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, now, you know, Michelle's gonna be looking for a family resemblance.
00:23:43She doesn't really take to these highfalutin concepts too much.
00:23:48I 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, but 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, Mr. 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, and Miss NeNe Coco has won.
00:24:42Two challenges.
00:24:43Two challenges.
00:24:45You 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
00:25:11butterfly, and 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.
00:25:24That's right.
00:25:25And being a whore.
00:25:27All right, kids, we'll get back to work.
00:25:29Can't wait to see ya.
00:25:30All right.
00:25:31Thank you, Ru.
00:25:32All right, Mikey and Michael.
00:25:34Oh, what pretty hire you've got there.
00:25:38Thank you, Ru.
00:25:38We're going old Hollywood red carpets.
00:25:41Oh, wow.
00:25:41That's really pretty.
00:25:43And what's gonna push you over the top this week?
00:25:46We 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 or I have.
00:25:58You 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.
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, beautiful.
00:26:28Hi, Terry.
00:26:29Hi.
00:26:30How old were you when you participated in your first rodeo?
00:26:33Hospital.
00:26:34And what event did you participate in?
00:26:36Bulls and steers.
00:26:37Where you roped them?
00:26:38No, rode them.
00:26:39You rode the bull and the steer.
00:26:41Yes.
00:26:42Okay, have you figured out the connection between drag and rodeo yet?
00:26:45You 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.
00:26:50And 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?
00:27:09Uh-huh.
00:27:10Covered in cock feathers.
00:27:12Can't get enough of them.
00:27:13I'm going to have to place 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 buck it up.
00:27:49Juicy, they have your size.
00:27:51Thank you, Darlene.
00:27:52You always think of me, sister.
00:27:55Ladies, 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'm about to nail this.
00:28:09Okay.
00:28:12Oh, that was good.
00:28:16It's not my gig, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:19There you go.
00:28:21Oh, yes, miss.
00:28:27Oh, close.
00:28:29This is really classic me in the 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.
00:28:39Oh my god, wait.
00:28:40Okay.
00:28:42NeNe wastes no time getting on all fours.
00:28:45All right, come up from behind.
00:28:47Here.
00:28:47What?
00:28:49Here.
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.
00:28:59High five.
00:29:00I think there's a total crossover here between this gay rodeo world and the drag world.
00:29:08Like, first of all, the gay cowboys are shady as fuck, which immediately makes me feel at home.
00:29:13If 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 for this.
00:29:17But there's also this theme of people who are outsiders kind of banding together to create
00:29:22these little networks where they can be themselves.
00:29:25It 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.
00:29:38It'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?
00:29:51Yes.
00:29:52Well, not prettier than you.
00:29:53I've not had this gone in 15 years.
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 because I just found
00:30:38myself again.
00:30:39My cowboy Michael is sharing with me that he gave up his passion for drag because he didn't feel secure
00:30:48with the masculinity underneath it all.
00:30:51And 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 because they're loving the
00:31:04character.
00:31:04They're loving the persona, but they're not knowing who I am underneath it all.
00:31:08So you know it's important to make sure you're taking care of both.
00:31:11Absolutely.
00:31:12Absolutely.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:12I think today is a day to let go of any opinions of what others may have about you.
00:31:20Today is about empowering your inner diva.
00:31:23Absolutely.
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, uh, I don't want to call discord Fade, but Fade put us together for sure.
00:31:47It's true.
00:31:47Yeah.
00:31:49A lot of hair.
00:31:50He's wearing sleeves.
00:31:52He'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 Nini Coco.
00:32:01Oh, goodbye.
00:32:02How are we feeling?
00:32:03Nervous.
00:32:04First time since high school.
00:32:06The end of an era.
00:32:08Okay.
00:32:10All 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're 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 Winchell 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 of
00:33:23confided in each other, and he was dating a trans woman.
00:33:27And some of our other people around him told him, you can't bring a drag queen to the company picnic.
00:33:32And he didn't listen.
00:33:36And 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 to keep
00:33:49myself 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.
00:33:57And...
00:33:58Oh, my God.
00:33:59Yeah, and it's, I was like, that's going to be me if I don't figure out how to fake this
00:34:08a little
00:34:09bit better, so.
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 love for
00:34:22you.
00:34:23The things you've been through are really heavy.
00:34:29This is about celebrating his courage and his bravery and him finding this piece of his
00:34:34femininity 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.
00:34:48Listen, I have one win, and since then, I've been pretty close to almost winning each challenge
00:34:55after that.
00:34:56I don't know what is preventing me from getting that win, but I want this one.
00:35:02Wow, we need the second one.
00:35:03We need this.
00:35:04We need this win.
00:35:05Ladies.
00:35:05Uh-oh.
00:35:06The library is open.
00:35:08Oh, no.
00:35:11Which victim do I want to eat first?
00:35:13Looks like you 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 going to cover up your shame.
00:35:28Anybody got a face mask?
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.
00:36:04Well, put the bass in your walk.
00:36:06Head to toe.
00:36:08Let your whole body talk.
00:36:10Wow.
00:36:11That nudes.
00:36:13Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:36:16She puts the sass in sarsaparilla, Michelle Visage.
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 Roge.
00:36:32La, what is your favorite western?
00:36:35He 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 and 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?
00:37:26Are you just happy to see me?
00:37:28Is that a bee?
00:37:30Sure.
00:37:31We are floating down the runway in our insect couture.
00:37:34From antenna 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.
00:37:44We 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 it 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.
00:38:26The 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.
00:38:35Juicy love Dion and Lucy love Dion.
00:38:39Ooh, Lucy 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.
00:38:53So thankfully I learned how to sew in this competition.
00:38:55Lucy love Dion eats up the rodeo circuit every time and now she's eating up this drag race runway
00:39:00stage.
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.
00:39:16Ladies 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 act.
00:39:28This is old school glamour.
00:39:31There's vintage hair.
00:39:32We both have our cock feather boas.
00:39:36Mamey is feeling it.
00:39:38It's important to take care of her and 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 and Harmony Adams.
00:39:55She's clueless.
00:39:57As if.
00:39:59Harmony and I are sisters at the same school, but we sit at different lunch tables.
00:40:03Because she's preppy and I hate that.
00:40:05And I'm punk and she hates that even more.
00:40:08I kind of want to 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 drag daughter.
00:40:25She is killing it.
00:40:26Look, it's Tuesday and Wednesday, Adams.
00:40:32Darlene Mitchell and Bonnie Mitchell.
00:40:35Girls trip.
00:40:36You 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 going to have to
00:41:07hightail it out of there.
00:41:08It's just 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.
00:41:19Welcome, y'all.
00:41:20Whoo!
00:41:21Now it's time for the judges' critique.
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.
00:41:37And even though they are gorgeous and you both look amazing and you did a beautiful time
00:41:42delivering it, it's not a family resemblance to me.
00:41:46This is a costume with the same antennas and eyelashes, but 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 bee 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.
00:42:26So 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,
00:42:43hey, there's another part 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.
00:42:58Mmm.
00:42:59Y'all are giving opulence, truly. I was thinking, y'all look like y'all could've been in the
00:43:05Viennetta ice cream commercials. Like, y'all just look rich, you know? I'm from Jersey. I'm like,
00:43:10this is everything I grew up with. It's literally like looking at season three of me and season 14 of
00:43:18me.
00:43:18There is no question you two are related to me. But yes, you're related to each other.
00:43:25Mmm.
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. And your feet look so tiny in those shoes.
00:43:40Morgan, this is not your first rodeo in heels.
00:43:44Uh, no, ma'am. No, it's, uh...
00:43:46No, well, it showed. How different is Morgan from the drag you've done before?
00:43:50It's a rebirth.
00:43:52Mm-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 had lost my masculinity. And I thought giving up drag would help me find it again. I was wrong.
00:44:05I'm more powerful now. I stand in power today.
00:44:08Praise him.
00:44:09Right. Won't he do it? Yes, you will.
00:44:11Welcome back.
00:44:15Up next, Juicy Love Dion. And this is Lucy Love Dion.
00:44:22You two make complete sense. The hair choices, the makeup choices, the jewelry choices.
00:44:29It's not always about matchy match, but it's about understanding
00:44:34there'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?
00:44:53I'm so used to being on top in the rodeo.
00:44:57Yeah, yeah.
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. Thank you.
00:45:08Thank you so much.
00:45:09Up next, Jane Don't. And 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. The jewelry is different. You have to give us something
00:45:30that 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. I see that you tried to beat the face and make the bone structure
00:45:42similar. You definitely are related.
00:45:44I have to agree with Law. Y'all are giving twins. Literally, when you walked out, I said,
00:45:48what episode of Parent Trap is this? Lindsay Lohan would be proud. I have a soft spot for redheads.
00:45:54My hubby is a redhead. And y'all truly are the DEIs of Caucasians.
00:46:00Perry, did you have fun?
00:46:02I had an amazing time. Jane has just been over the top to make sure everything I needed, wanted, happened.
00:46:09I was very stressed during this process because I just really wanted to take care of Terry and make
00:46:16sure that he was having fun. I commend you for that and you had so much patience and so much
00:46:21grace
00:46:21and that kind of warms my bitter, cold, broken heart. Thank you for having me. I've had the best
00:46:28time. Looking 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. And this is Harmony Adams. This is season 1,347 of Drag Race. And we know
00:46:53what the judges are expecting and it just didn't make any fucking sense and I hate it. I hate it
00:46:58like
00:46:58I hate my father and I really hate my father. You all look like small business owners who are
00:47:04scammers. And I kind of was feeling it, but I don't really see siblings or mother-daughter.
00:47:11You two are best friends. Even the updos are different, different color, different style. Again,
00:47:17this is drag family resemblance, so I expect you to look alike. However, you had such a cute little act.
00:47:24You're the cutesy one and she's tripping you. I enjoyed the performance. Never thought until the
00:47:29day that I was the nice judge. Sorry. Harmony, what category do you think
00:47:35Discord would excel at in the rodeo? Goat dressing.
00:47:43Is that a real category? Yes, ma'am.
00:47:47That's where we have our underwear on our hands. And you just run down, pick the goat up somebody,
00:47:52and the other one shoves the underwear on you, run back across the line.
00:47:56They look like these. Come on, rodeo. I hate you.
00:48:00Oh my gosh, rodeo.
00:48:03Up next, Darlene Mitchell. And now this is Miss Bonnie Mitchell.
00:48:10You guys were actually my favorite. Yes, you are giving me two happy hookers
00:48:17who are walking down the street saying, it's sweater weather.
00:48:21These are my kind of girls, okay? I'm ready to go to the all-inclusive holiday in with y'all,
00:48:27have a long island iced tea, take them dice on your head and play craps with them. I'm obsessed.
00:48:33It's 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. And I am for it. And I am into it.
00:48:45When the two of you came out, I instantly went, nope, your best friend's at a casino. But the more
00:48:50I 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,
00:49:10I'm your mother. We kind of expected this from you, Darlene. We did not expect for Bonnie to also
00:49:20take on the family aesthetic. I've never looked so fucking pretty in my life.
00:49:25Oh, really?
00:49:26Yes. This is beautiful.
00:49:28Do you look like someone in your family?
00:49:29No, no one looks as pretty in my family.
00:49:34Thank you, queens and cowboys. I think we've heard enough. While you untuck backstage,
00:49:41the judges and I will deliberate. Now, just between us cowpokes, what do you think? Starting with
00:49:49Nene and Patsy Coco. I loved the story about transformation. However, they were cute in a
00:49:56school play type of way. I prefer Jason out of drag to be quite honest. Nene Coco has slayed every
00:50:03single challenge. That kid is so smart, but the family resemblance just wasn't there. Mikey and Morgan
00:50:10Meeks. Truly giving generational wealth and I love that. Absolutely. They were family. They were
00:50:17sister Sledge. Stevie Wonder could see these two are related.
00:50:23Juicy and Lucy love Dionne. I'm Jamaican and so they would fit so well in Carnival. The colors
00:50:29were just so bright and ornate and their performance was entertaining. I just love those two. I love the
00:50:35two and I even love the names Juicy and Lucy. Yes. Jane and maybe don't. I thought the family resemblance
00:50:40was definitely there. It was like Patsy Cline and Calvin Cline. Jane has not made any missteps
00:50:48up till now. I don't know why she chose to be so different with the outfits. She could have done
00:50:54a little red on her blue and a little blue on her red just to tie it together because the
00:50:58silhouette
00:50:59was different. One was a gown, was an asymmetrical short dress. The entire panel disagrees, but for me,
00:51:04the same hair color does not a family resemblance make. Discord and Harmony Adams. I did see the
00:51:10Clueless reference, but it just was not giving family at all. Listen, I had this discussion with
00:51:15Discord in the workroom. I said, I get the concept, but it's not going to flop. You know Michelle is
00:51:21going to breed you for filth if there is no family resemblance and you took your tough ass out there
00:51:27anyway. At the end of the day, this is a drag family resemblance. You get the opportunity to look like
00:51:33your partner, so make it happen. It's in the title. I don't get it. She did it to piss you
00:51:38off, Michelle.
00:51:39Yes, she did, bro. She frickin' did. Darlene and Bonnie Mitchell. I mean, they just look like they
00:51:44pay in traveler's checks still. They also love to dine and dash. These are my type of girls. Now,
00:51:53family resemblance, okay, there were similarities. Distant cousins, mother-daughter, sisters,
00:51:58whatever it was, I bought it. They were fully not only related, but connected. All right.
00:52:05Silence. I have made my decision. Bring back my girls. Welcome back, queens. I've made some decisions.
00:52:14Oh, I meant to say, I've made some incisions. Oh, yikes. Doctor.
00:52:20Juicy, when it comes to drag family resemblance, tonight, you served Wacky. Darlene,
00:52:31you served Tacky. And Mikey, you served Jackie. As in Jackie Stallone.
00:52:41Oh, yes, ma'am. Fucker.
00:52:47Mikey Meeks, congratulations. You are the winner of this week's challenge.
00:52:53Good job, baby. Good job. Good job. Good job.
00:52:55Oh, my God. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
00:52:57This is my second win, which feels so amazing.
00:53:02Ooh, my nipple's hard.
00:53:04You've won a cash tip of $5,000, plus a tip of $2,500 for your partner.
00:53:12Yes. Oh, my God.
00:53:14Bitch, you got $2,500.
00:53:16Ooh, we're going to the rodeo, baby.
00:53:18And to all our cowboys, as a token of our appreciation, each of you will receive an extra
00:53:26special gift bag 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. And you three may step to the back of the stage.
00:53:50Thank you. Thank you.
00:53:53This is the first time Jade's been in the bottom, isn't it?
00:53:55Jane Don't, your family resemblance was a big maybe.
00:54:02Uh-oh.
00:54:04Discord Adams, your mismatched pairing left the judges clueless.
00:54:12Nene Coco, butterflies may be free, but this look could cost you.
00:54:23Jane Don't, you are safe.
00:54:28Yes.
00:54:32Discord, Nene, I'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. I heard them this time, but I don't
00:54:45agree with them. I know that Nene is a fierce performer, but luckily this is a ballad. And while
00:54:51I'm not known for dancing, I do know I can serve a ballad. Two queens stand before me. Ladies,
00:55:00this 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. I've worked so hard to be here,
00:55:13and I am not leaving this competition. Discord, there's the door. Sorry, girl.
00:55:21The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
00:55:33I'm shaking. I know, my hands are like sweating.
00:55:37Good luck and don't. Fuck it up.
00:55:43I didn't think you'd understand me.
00:55:49How could you ever even try?
00:55:56I don't wanna tiptoe, but I don't wanna hide. But I don't wanna feed this monstrous fire.
00:56:04I just wanna let this story die. And I'll be alright.
00:56:12We can't be friends. But I'd like to just pretend. You cling to your papers and pens. Wait until you
00:56:24like me again.
00:56:26Wait for your love, my love. I'll wait for your love.
00:56:33Yes, Stevie. Come on, girls.
00:56:37Me and my truth, we sit in silence.
00:56:43Mmm.
00:56:44We can't be friends, but I'd like to just pretend. You cling to your papers and pens. Wait until you
00:56:57like me again. Wait for your love, my love. I'll wait for your love.
00:57:08I know that you made me. I don't like how you paint me. Yet I'm still here hanging.
00:57:17I know what you made me. Something like a daydream. But if you don't see in the night. Something new,
00:57:29it's only me. And maybe that's all I need.
00:57:34We can't be friends. But I'd like to just pretend. You cling to your papers and pens. Wait until you
00:57:47like me again. Wait for your love, my love. I'll wait for your love.
00:57:58I'll wait for your love.
00:58:00I'll wait for your love.
00:58:03I'll wait for your love.
00:58:04I'll wait for your love.
00:58:05Yes, girls!
00:58:06Woo-hoo!
00:58:08Woo-hoo!
00:58:11Queens, I've made my decision.
00:58:22Ninicoco! Shanta, you stay.
00:58:27I hate this.
00:58:30You may join the other girls.
00:58:34I love you so much. You just love it, baby.
00:58:37That queen changed my life. I'm glad she's staying.
00:58:41Discord, my queen. No matter what comes next, never, ever, sissy that walk.
00:58:52I mean that. Now, sashay away.
00:58:56Thank you so much. I 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.
00:59:09Yay!

00:59:16Well, see you on All Stars.
00:59:24I'm feeling incredibly proud of my partner, Harmony.
00:59:27He looked so beautiful.
00:59:29In Discord land, I fucking nailed it.
00:59:31I am a punk rock motherfucker
00:59:33who is going to change the way that you see drag.
00:59:38Eat the rich. Fuck the patriarchy.
00:59:41This is everything. You are everything.
00:59:43Discord's out.
00:59:49Conjagulations, queens.
00:59:50And remember, if you can't love yourself,
00:59:52how the hell are you gonna love somebody else?
00:59:54Can I get an amen up in here?
00:59:56Amen!

01:00:35in your bag of tricks, and I bought every single one.
01:00:38You ran out of steam.
