00:06Ladies, I've made my decision.
00:09Joey J, Denali, Tamisha Iman, Utica, Rosé, you're getting the pork chop.
00:20Wow.
00:20What the fuck?
00:22This is crazy.
00:24I feel awful.
00:26That sucks.
00:27It can't end this soon.
00:29It's not fair.
00:31I'm confused and I'm hurting because I have a lot to show and I have no idea what to do
00:38next.
00:41Wow.
00:42Hi.
00:43Hi.
00:45I'm not sure what is going on.
00:48I find four other drag queens and they're all sitting there looking pretty defeated.
00:54Welcome to the pork chop queen.
00:56Welcome to the show.
00:57Bye.
00:57Yeah, seriously.
00:59I'm like so gagged that that just happened.
01:01I know, right?
01:02First of all, who did you lip sync against?
01:04Olivia Lux.
01:06Okay.
01:06I'm from New York and she's also from New York.
01:08Nice.
01:09My girl was from New York.
01:10I had Candy Mute.
01:11Oh, I love Candy.
01:11I'm glad she's here.
01:14Me too.
01:17What, my abs?
01:19Is that how you really feel, sis?
01:21Candy's a fucking riot.
01:23Now we're sitting alone in VIP.
01:24Well, not totally alone.
01:26No, that is true.
01:27I'm sure wherever she is, she's very loud.
01:31Yeah, she's loud.
01:33So you knew who you were lip sync against?
01:35Yeah.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Did that make it feel like different or weird at all?
01:37Yeah, it did.
01:39The last time I saw Olivia was at a big competition in New York where I was hosting and she
01:44was
01:45competing.
01:46So like, that's like full circle for that bitch to come back and like beat the host of
01:49a competition, you know?
01:50I was really gagged that that happened.
01:52I know.
01:53Like at all, right?
01:54Yeah.
01:54I was so like in my head during that.
01:57That was like not my tea.
01:58Utica, how did you feel about the lip sync?
02:01I was caught a little off guard.
02:03You know, I felt like, damn, I made it.
02:07And then the feeling of, oh my God, I'm going home first.
02:13I didn't expect to have it end this way.
02:16I didn't get to show my work.
02:20I feel sad about it, you know?
02:23It was rough.
02:24How do you feel?
02:25Um, I'm still kind of in the shop.
02:28Yeah.
02:28But I'm a pageant girl, so I know when I've been beaten and I can accept that.
02:32But I was like, you know what?
02:35That's how I felt.
02:36I felt like, what?
02:36Keep in mind, I got cast for season 12.
02:39Oh.
02:40But when I got cast, I discovered I had cancer.
02:43Shut up.
02:44And I had to start immediate radiation and chemo.
02:47Oh my God.
02:47So I wasn't able to come.
02:50And I fought back to get back here one year later.
02:53I couldn't walk at one time.
02:54The radiation had gotten so bad to where I couldn't walk anymore.
02:57So to actually be back here in my livelihood, I made it.
03:02That's amazing.
03:02Congratulations.
03:09Ladies, I've made my decision.
03:10Camara Hall and Elliot, you are both getting the pork chop.
03:17Now, cachet away.
03:23I'm so confused.
03:25I feel so defeated.
03:27Am I going home?
03:29Is this a trick?
03:32I don't know what's going on, and it's horrible.
03:37I feel like I let myself down.
03:41I know that I'm so much better than this.
03:43And I know that I have more to show.
03:46So knowing that I got the chop, I can just feel like my dream slipping away.
03:55Hi, hi, hi.
03:56I know this one.
03:58Let me hug you.
03:59Look at this one.
04:00Oh my God.
04:01I can't believe you're here.
04:04I'm Camara.
04:05The legend Camara Hall.
04:06Right.
04:07Stop, I'm not.
04:08Of the Taj Mahal.
04:09I've been following this one for a year.
04:10And the Jada Essence Hall.
04:11Oh cute.
04:12So wait, how did your lip sync go?
04:14Girl, I went through like...
04:15It was traumatizing.
04:17It makes some emotions.
04:18It was traumatizing.
04:18Like I put so much into this competition.
04:21Like I use like so much of my savings for this.
04:24At the same time, it's like I'm just so grateful because I've won a drag race for so long.
04:27Right.
04:28And like just to be here means a lot.
04:33What in the heck do you think is about to happen next?
04:36Our picture's going to be on that wall too.
04:38Can I be next to Soju though?
04:40That's my daughter.
04:41Is it?
04:41Yeah, we both went over.
04:43Yay!
04:45Soju and her sis.
04:48I came here for justice for Soju, but well, that ended.
04:53What's crazier to me is that the only queen I got to meet was Tina.
04:56I've seen you before.
04:58You were at Las Vegas.
04:59I sure was.
05:01That's a horrible impression.
05:03I'm telling you.
05:05You know what I'm saying?
05:08The same exact thing has happened to all of us.
05:10Yeah.
05:10So I'm sure at this point, I feel like there's another room like where they're talking shit.
05:16I think there's probably another kiki happening with the girls who beat us right now.
05:19Oh, I'm sure.
05:21God, I am.
05:27So let's get down to the real, real, real tea.
05:30You bitches walk in.
05:32It's you and another girl.
05:34It's crazy.
05:34What goes through your mind?
05:36When we got on that main stage, I don't know about y'all, but I was just like, there ain't
05:40no way.
05:41I'm walking in in my entrance outfit and they're going to be sitting up in there judging.
05:44You know?
05:45Literally.
05:46And I'll tell you what, I rounded that corner and I shit my pants.
05:49I was just like this.
05:51You know what I mean?
05:51At that point, everything that I saw that I knew walking in flew right out the window.
05:56Yeah.
05:56Which, of course, is how they like to do it.
05:57Exactly.
05:58When you walk in, you think you're going to meet like 13 other queens.
06:00I was excited.
06:01At least like half the cast.
06:02I was so excited.
06:03I was like, we're going to talk and we're going to say, you're horrible and I like you.
06:06It's one thing to be told, oh, you're going to lip sync.
06:09It's another thing to go on the main stage on your first date of Drag Race in front of the
06:15four judges, RuPaul in drag, staring through your soul.
06:19And now you have to put on a show, not only for them, but to save your ass as well.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Bitch.
06:24I thought it was going to be like, oh, we're lip syncing and then, you know, the girl you
06:27get to put in another group to do, she said, you go home now.
06:29And I was like, oh.
06:30I was like, what's going on?
06:31I didn't believe it either.
06:32No, I was like, there's no way.
06:33My thing is, if I was sitting up there and they told me that I lost, I would have been
06:36over it.
06:37Bitch, how do you think they felt?
06:41It's lucky 13.
06:43Even though it's not, but it is.
06:44I'm not feeling so lucky today, actually.
06:45I don't think so either.
06:47I love to compete, you know?
06:48So, I was like, fuck, I'm the first one.
06:51I'm like.
06:53Chuck.
06:54It's like.
06:54Kind of cutthroat.
06:55A little cutthroat.
06:56It is a little cutthroat.
06:57It's like, you know, no one wants to go home first.
06:58No one, no.
06:59No.
06:59I'll tell you what, this is not what I expected to happen today.
07:02No, no.
07:03On my first day at RuPaul's Drag Race.
07:04I'm so upset.
07:05You'd think it would be a happy get-to-know-you moment, but we feel so defeated.
07:13We feel like this is the end.
07:23I'm feeling good about all six of us, so.
07:24Yes.
07:25Dang.
07:25This is a cute couch.
07:27This is a cute couch.
07:28I think we should keep the couch just because there's enough space.
07:31We don't need any more.
07:32Okay.
07:33With me, because there was two girls, like, two of you were going home, and I said,
07:36Excuse me?
07:37I said Elliot and Camora Hall.
07:39Wait, you got two girls?
07:39You went to two girls?
07:40Wait, what?
07:43You only have one?
07:45Oh, yeah.
07:45Also, there's 13 of us.
07:47Yeah.
07:47Oh, bitch.
07:48Oh, work, bitch.
07:49That's insane.
07:50That's shady.
07:51Yeah.
07:52Y'all are shady.
07:54Honey.
07:55Wait, so they both got some home?
07:57See that?
07:57I said two of us.
07:58She's an assassin.
08:00Okay.
08:00She's a assassin.
08:01Yeah.
08:02All right.
08:02Doggy.
08:03That's crazy.
08:04So, my girl's name was Denali.
08:06Girl, she had an ice skate.
08:07Those are real skates.
08:08They are, Miss Thing.
08:09Wow.
08:10Ice?
08:11Like blades?
08:11Ice.
08:11Yes.
08:12Bitch, she was scooty-doo-doo.
08:13How?
08:14Oh, bitch.
08:14I don't know.
08:15Bitch, she was scooty-doo-doo.
08:17Basically, you were what Tonya Harding was.
08:19You just came back.
08:19You were just like, take her out, girl.
08:20Basically, girl.
08:21Okay.
08:23So, how did you feel walking into the workroom, like, finally being in the workroom?
08:26Bitch.
08:28Girl.
08:28How many times have you auditioned, like, to be in her?
08:29Once.
08:30One.
08:31Oh, my goodness.
08:32So, it's just like, it still hasn't really hit me yet.
08:36I'm like, bitch, one time, every time I'm here, it's like, oh.
08:40Wait, how many times has everyone auditioned here?
08:42Twice.
08:42Twice?
08:43This is my third.
08:43Third?
08:44I don't remember.
08:45She's like, 17.
08:46She's 17.
08:47No, it's not even that.
08:48Like, I think, like, I think I lost count at, like, seven.
08:51Oh, work.
08:52I've only done four.
08:53I'm guessing once for you.
08:54Right?
08:55Just once.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Last year, I wasn't even, it didn't even apply to me because I had been doing drag for, like,
09:01three weeks last year.
09:03So, this is my first time I even played.
09:05That is crazy, y'all.
09:06You won a pageant title as well, right?
09:07Yeah.
09:08Yes, you did.
09:09See that?
09:10See, I pay attention.
09:11What the heck?
09:12I pretend like I'm so, but I'll do.
09:14Yes, you did.
09:14Uh-huh.
09:14It was hard, and it was, like, months and months of preparation.
09:20It was one of the hardest things I've ever done in drag, and now months and months.
09:25You saw it a year ago.
09:27That is nuts.
09:28My first year of drag?
09:29I don't even think that's considered drag.
09:31Yeah.
09:31Like, at all.
09:32Like, it's so scary.
09:33You know what it is?
09:34It's like, you know when you work so hard to get somewhere, you've fought for so long, for
09:37so long, for so long.
09:38And, like, you're finally here.
09:39And then it's like, to go home?
09:41I don't know, bitch.
09:42Not an option.
09:43I wasn't an option.
09:44Not an option.
09:45I was like, I will get there when it's my time.
09:46Yeah, absolutely.
09:47And when it's ready.
09:48And that's, I mean, thank God I'm here now, because it's like, I feel ready.
09:51You know what I'm saying?
09:56One of the things I thought about, like, you're going through so many mixed emotions as you're
09:59being eliminated, right?
10:00And you're like, oh my gosh, like, I know what Dolly is feeling.
10:05And then you're like, wait a minute, Shangela has felt this before, but has also walked
10:10the Oscars carpet, you know?
10:12You know what?
10:13I will gladly go on this wall since Vanjie and Shangela are on there, because they have
10:17come back several times and did the damn thing.
10:20The queen of the exit line.
10:21But I'm already here.
10:23I know.
10:25Like, damn.
10:26I don't want to go to the airport and go through TSA.
10:28I know.
10:28Let me show at least one one-way.
10:30It's one more wig.
10:31One more wig, one more one-way something.
10:32I just want to show one more hat.
10:34Let me show one more look.
10:35That's the first thing I thought, too, was like, oh my God, my suitcase isn't even opened
10:39yet.
10:40Right.
10:40I'm sure we all had so much to show.
10:42I worked so hard to be here.
10:45There's never been a girl from Phoenix here.
10:47And I'm sure you guys all feel the same way.
10:50I have no idea what the pork chop means.
10:52I'm thinking, you lost.
10:53You lost, and that's it.
10:54It's over.
10:55I don't want to go.
10:56I wanted the experience.
10:58We all wanted the experience.
11:00It's devastating.
11:07So, how does it feel to be in, like, this new normal with the whole mess?
11:11And COVID and stuff.
11:13Six feet.
11:13It's so crazy, because going from, like, working at a bar every single night,
11:17surrounded by people, to being, like, by yourself is the weirdest, like, feeling ever.
11:22I don't think I've been in drag in front of people.
11:25It's been about five, six months.
11:28It's a scary world.
11:29It's scary.
11:30We have to adapt.
11:31Even, like, here you can see, like, everyone's wearing a mask.
11:33We're not touching anyone, and we're getting our COVID test done.
11:35That's the only action I got, girls.
11:37I Q-tip up my nose all this time.
11:40I was like, sis.
11:41I was like, is there an alternate option?
11:43Can I do the anal option, maybe?
11:46Can I just get it down there?
11:48Is there any feedback on the main stage that you guys got that you were kind of like, ooh, like,
11:51shook about?
11:52I liked my feedback.
11:53Ooh, I praise you, bitch!
11:55I was kind of nervous about this outfit, because I didn't want anyone to think I was a narcissist.
11:58But I do love my, like, my drag character did save my life.
12:01So, like, I definitely wanted to, like, touch on that a little bit.
12:03I was a really lonely, depressed kid.
12:06I was bullied a lot.
12:08I didn't exactly know what was wrong with me.
12:11I didn't, I'm a black kid.
12:13Like, you know, it's just a lot going on.
12:14I created her to, like, make me happy.
12:17I don't think I would have made it past high school if I didn't find this.
12:21Like, it literally made me want to live, like, to push forward and be like, okay, what can I make
12:26out of this life, you know?
12:33What's your answer, Ms. Tino?
12:34I mean, the feedback, like, Michelle was just like, you know, you're a New York-like legend.
12:38Ross was like, oh, he was like, you were in a boy band.
12:41And, like, one of the things—
12:42You were in a boy band?
12:42Yes, honey, I was on Universal Records when I was 19.
12:45What?
12:46Yeah, oh, girl, there's things you don't know about my life, girl.
12:49What's your favorite?
12:50Are you a hot boy?
12:52Are you like Justin Timberlake?
12:54Do you have frosted tips?
12:55Actually, I did have frosted tips.
12:58You know, I was living my boy band fantasy.
13:00But, like, y'all got secrets.
13:01We all better watch out, you know what I'm saying?
13:03I can sing if I need to, Rosé.
13:06Rosé and I know each other from New York, and I guess she's got that reputation of, like, you know,
13:11I am Rosé.
13:12She likes to compete, but I think, you know, Rosé's still figuring out who Rosé is.
13:18We won the first challenge.
13:20Now, you know, that just means that, like, they're going to be on our asses this season.
13:24I didn't think about that.
13:25You may be up here right now.
13:26You start up here.
13:26Where are you going to go from there?
13:27You got to climb, honey.
13:29So that's all right.
13:29I'm up to the challenge, girl.
13:31You can't appreciate what you have unless you've had to fight for it.
13:35And I think I'm a fighter.
13:37Like, I am a fighter.
13:46I'm like, oh, my God.
13:48I'm like, ugh.
13:50We are de-dragging.
13:51And, you know, there's some cute boys.
13:52You know, you got Miss Mink, the cute little twink.
13:55You got Miss Tina, a white boy with soul.
13:58I got a man and all, but I'm into light-skinned boys, you know.
14:03So, you know, Olivia Lux really caught my eye.
14:05But compared to all of you, girl, I think I'm the tradiest.
14:09And that says a lot.
14:11All right, so.
14:12Yeah.
14:13We have to get to it.
14:14What?
14:14The most important part of this competition.
14:16Which is?
14:17Who's single?
14:18Woo!
14:19Single.
14:19Right here.
14:20I'm single, honey.
14:22Single, bringle over here.
14:23Single.
14:24I'm single by choice.
14:25I found my hoe.
14:26You a hoe?
14:27Because you can get your life, but you don't have to go home and answer to no one.
14:30Amen.
14:31So, now listen.
14:31I'm just throwing it out there.
14:33There's a lot of single people here.
14:35And there's restrictions.
14:37And we all stuck in the same house.
14:38I'm just saying.
14:39Y'all better start pairing off now.
14:41Yeah, yeah.
14:42We sisters.
14:43We can't be touching up on each other.
14:45Hold on.
14:45Hold on.
14:46Don't say all that.
14:47All that's wrong.
14:50This is the first time that we are all getting out of a drive.
14:53We're getting to see the boys' side of our personas.
14:56And trade.
14:58No.
15:00Now it's us, the New York bitches over here.
15:02Okay.
15:02Okay.
15:03Let's get down to the realty.
15:04What are y'all really afraid of, like, in this competition?
15:07Um, I guess not coming across, like, with who I am.
15:09You know what I mean?
15:10Like, sometimes you fear that, like, people are just...
15:12I'm not a bitch.
15:13I just tell them...
15:14No, no, no.
15:14What I'm saying is, it's just, like, I tell the truth.
15:16And sometimes the truth, like, really gets people worked up.
15:18What about you?
15:19What are you scared of?
15:20I want to come into this competition and just, like, do it for me and have a good time.
15:25I think the hardest part is coming across as myself, but, like, making sure people are, like,
15:31no, like, I'm not being a bitch.
15:32It's just, like, the way I am.
15:33I'm just nervous about getting in my own head and, like, being...
15:37Just seeing everyone and what they're, like, good and, like, the loud personalities and
15:40just being, like, I just need to stay out of my own head and do what I need to do,
15:44honey.
15:44That's what I'm most nervous about.
15:45Yeah.
15:46Like, my persona, the image that I like her looking like, if it gets a little too far,
15:52there's something that's, like, off.
15:54So I have to make sure that we shove that noise away.
15:58I'm afraid of being looked at as somebody that hasn't worked as hard as other girls to
16:04get here because I worked really, really hard to get here still.
16:07You prove it.
16:08You know, and just because it's been a year and just because I've been before Christ.
16:13Not B.C.
16:14Girl!
16:15No, it's before Charles.
16:20If we do get a second chance, which I fucking hope we do, and if we're all working together
16:25to do that, like, we got to fucking bring it.
16:27Exactly.
16:29I'll send the other bitches home, like, collectively.
16:32We'll pick one at a time.
16:33Okay.
16:34We have to, like, really, really fucking kill it.
16:36Right.
16:37Attention, queens in the pork chop loading dock.
16:41You all have a chance to return to the competition.
16:45But first, you must give one of your fellow queens the chop.
16:54You know what the gag is that we're all unpacking, we're all kiki and having a good time, but
16:57the reality of it is, someone has to go home every single week.
17:01Yeah, true.
17:02Oh, so you're like, why are we unpacking everything?
17:04And then you're going to have to repack everything.
17:05Who, me?
17:09Lee, you got about five minutes to wrap it up, Lee.
17:12Five minutes.
17:12Oh, my God.
17:14Bitch, we're actually here.
17:17Oh, my God.
17:17RuPaul's driving.
17:18He's the third teaming.
17:21All right, bitch.
17:22But five minutes is five minutes.
17:24Five minutes.
17:24So, come on, bitch.
17:28I had a great first day here, and it is so great to win my first lip sync.
17:34I think I gave a great first impression with my look.
17:36You see this?
17:37You see this?
17:39This is our life.
17:42This is crazy.
17:47I'm excited, nervous, anxious to see how everything turns out.
17:52You know, we have already been given some curveballs, so.
17:58Baby, there ain't no telling.
18:00Thank you, ladies.
18:02While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate.
18:09Y'all, let me tell you something.
18:10The little kid inside of me is jumping for joy while stomping in the corner, bitch.
18:16It is such a surreal moment to have the judges literally say that I'm a fucking star.
18:22No one can take this moment away from me, not even myself.
18:25I feel so good.
18:28Hearing the judges totally get Olivia Lux and get me,
18:33it feels like I did what I needed to do in this challenge,
18:36and then some.
18:38When it came to the challenge, I fucked up.
18:42And hearing that, to me, was just like,
18:45oh, you're not doing good.
18:47So, I might be going home,
18:50and it fucking sucks.
18:58And mark.
18:59Oh!
19:00Oh, my God.
19:02Girls, we runwayed.
19:03Hello.
19:04Yeah!
19:06First motherfucking runway.
19:08That must be hurt.
19:11Oh, you're the best.
19:13Oh, wow, wow, wow.
19:14You guys, we just got critiqued for the first time.
19:17Oh, my God.
19:18That was the first runway on the main stage.
19:22Oh, my God.
19:22How do you guys feel?
19:24Oh.
19:25I mean, I'm pretty pleased with what they said.
19:27I was nervous about, like, my fashion show critiques,
19:44but, like, you know, the customer's wearing them.
19:46It's how you sell the garment and how the judges, like, see you,
19:49and I'm sure you wear on that runway in, like, storms.
19:51Yeah.
19:51I really appreciated what Michelle said about, like, my skin color,
19:54because, like, growing up, my skin color was something people picked on.
19:58Like, for me, in dark skin.
19:59Tonight was my favorite look of yours because your skin is the most beautiful color.
20:05So when you came out in this yellow 24-karat gold,
20:08and you've got that delicious, rich skin color, it just all played perfectly.
20:14To hear her compliment it was just, like, like a moment for me.
20:19Not only complimented, but she was in love, honey.
20:22She was in love.
20:22Yeah, it was just, like, oh, my God, like, Michelle.
20:24It's, like, sin.
20:26And, like, with you, everything that you do, it's so, like, I believe her.
20:29Yeah, I love you.
20:30I think you're so great.
20:32I think you're so great.
20:33I'm not going to cry this evening.
20:34I'm giving y'all camera cry, baby.
20:37How you feeling, sir?
20:39I don't know.
20:40I don't know.
20:41I feel like they are obviously, like, plus my personality, like, and me, like, as a person.
20:46And they liked your outfit?
20:46It was, like, 50-50 on the fashion show.
20:49And they really liked the outfit tonight,
20:50but I also was the only one that got the worst critique out of the entire performance.
20:54What did they say that was worse?
20:56It was just, like, we could tell that you fucked up.
20:58When you messed up your choreo, don't let it show in your cara.
21:02The minute that happened, we saw you going, like, full-on panic.
21:06And I knew onstage when I was doing it, when I messed up in my head, I was like,
21:10fuck, that was my opportunity.
21:13I feel like they were just saying that, like, you have such a strong personality
21:18that, like, I feel like you, out of anyone, should be the one to, like,
21:21yeah, I fucked up, bitch.
21:22Like, look at it.
21:23That's, I feel like, what they meant.
21:25I think I was just so, like, in the mood of, like,
21:26all right, let me impress through, let me, like, go off to the girl.
21:28And, like, I was just so in my own solo that I completely forgot about the chorus
21:32and, like, joining back into the choreo.
21:34And then when I realized, I was like, oh.
21:36But you were still you, and that's the point they made.
21:38It's like, all right, you might have forgot it,
21:40but we couldn't take our eyes off you.
21:42And they said you're unpredictable, and that's something you can't just learn.
21:45No, unless they'd like that.
21:46You're unpredictable, just like your test results.
21:54Nina, how do you feel about everything they said to you?
21:59What did you say?
22:00Did you say Nina?
22:01Ooh.
22:03Did I say Nina?
22:04I think she said Nina.
22:04Did she just call me Nina?
22:06Did you call me, like, Nina West?
22:07She's Nina.
22:08Yeah, Nina West.
22:15Tina, I don't think that anyone could have gone on that stage
22:19and gone on the critiques that you got.
22:21Bitch, they live for you.
22:21They are obsessed with the fact that you are on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13.
22:24Yeah, I mean, I'm happy.
22:25Like, I really meant it, like, when I said, like,
22:27I think if I would have come at any other time,
22:29like, it would have been a different journey for me.
22:30Yeah.
22:30The one thing I always have to take with me when I'm in drag,
22:33and, like, even in my career, is, like,
22:34you always have to still be scared and still be humble.
22:37You know what I mean?
22:38Like, it was such a humbling experience,
22:39and, like, attention to detail is something
22:41that I've always tried to instill in, like,
22:43any, like, my drag family and stuff like that.
22:45And she's such that girl, too.
22:45And, you know what I mean?
22:46I'm just like, girl, you don't want to miss that beat.
22:48You don't want to cross that, you know?
22:49I mean, the only thing that took away is me, you know,
22:51making love to the camera,
22:52which I'm going to get some lubrication.
22:53We're going to make it happen.
22:55I'm bored from your room, Ken.
22:56Right, like your OnlyFans video.
22:57Just think of that.
22:58I wish!
23:01Now, Ms. Elliot, someone who was sent home
23:03and got brought back into a new group,
23:05which is not easy to walk into a room with six other bitches.
23:08How are you feeling?
23:09I'm really overwhelmed.
23:11Like, you guys literally didn't even try to bombard me with,
23:14like, why are you here?
23:16Except for her.
23:17She was like, bitch, I sent you home.
23:18Well, I had reason to question.
23:20No, but, like, as a whole,
23:22you guys really didn't even hesitate to go,
23:24you know what?
23:25We seven now.
23:26What's T?
23:27No.
23:27And fuck the other bitches.
23:28I mean, it's hard not to feel like that.
23:31Think of me walking into the room with you guys like I did
23:34and then instantly us going,
23:36okay, which one of us has to leave now?
23:37Yeah.
23:38Like, that's what happened.
23:39So this, I'm so thankful for,
23:40even the little amount of time,
23:42because even if I go home tonight, again.
23:44Four times.
23:45Four times.
23:46Legendary moment for you.
23:47Yeah, it's crazy because, I mean,
23:49I almost have a little bit of guilt for it
23:51if it were not to be me,
23:53but at the same time, like,
23:55I wanted the opportunity to compete
23:56just like everyone else.
23:58It was literally taken away from me
24:00the second I rolled in and...
24:04Are you all right, Candy?
24:06No, Candy.
24:08Don't cry.
24:09No, Candy.
24:10I'm just you.
24:16I just worked so hard to be here.
24:18And, like, thought about having to live sync
24:20and, like, going home tonight
24:21is, like, terrifying to me
24:22because, like, my sister
24:24were home for us last time
24:25and, like, here I am again
24:27in the same position
24:28and I just...
24:29There's just so much people
24:30back at home rooting for me
24:31and I just don't want to be, like...
24:32Oh, come on, Candy.
24:34Oh, my God.
24:34Jesus.
24:37And, like, the reality is, like,
24:39yeah, we're in the competition
24:40but, like, when you're put in the position
24:42of, like, oh, yeah,
24:43like, you're sucked up in the challenge
24:44it's like, oh.
24:46The reality sets in, like,
24:48you know, I can have all this personality
24:49but if I'm not applying it
24:50then it doesn't matter
24:51on the main stage
24:51and that's what matters
24:52and that's what they're looking at
24:53and I just...
24:55What's bothering me the most
24:56and what's, like, in my gut
24:57is, like, if I lip sync tonight
24:59and I'm going home
25:01and those bitches get to come back here...
25:04Like, I've worked my ass off.
25:05I made sure that in that fashion show
25:07I went outside of the box.
25:08Yeah, I fucked up with the performance
25:09but you can't tell me
25:10that just out of that little single part
25:11that I fucked up
25:12that I wasn't good
25:13in the entire thing
25:13I was going ham on that stage
25:16and I think that my run with it tonight
25:17is really fucking cute
25:18and I'm trying to show people
25:19that you can be a big girl
25:20and be sexy
25:21and be fashion forward
25:22it doesn't have to be comedy
25:23and all that
25:23so if I have to go home
25:25and some other bitches walks in here
25:27I'm going to be pissed the fuck off.
25:29I think we all will.
25:29Let's want to be 100% valid.
25:32Coming to Drag Race
25:34you never really expect to make sisters
25:36and really great friends.
25:37Although we're competitors
25:38and we're competing for the crown
25:40they are very supportive
25:41and they really make me feel
25:44so good about everything
25:46I've done so far
25:47in this competition.
25:48So who do y'all think
25:49out of everybody is the top
25:50and who's the bottom?
25:51I'm definitely in the bottom.
25:53You think?
25:53I feel like if it was off
25:54of the Curtis
25:55it would be like me
25:56and Candy in the bottom.
25:57I think you were so concerned
25:59with your dance steps
26:01and remembering the choreography
26:02that you were losing the performance.
26:07And then I would think
26:10I don't know who's
26:12between you three
26:14The top can really be
26:15like any one of you four
26:17because they really
26:19are in love with y'all
26:21and they are in love
26:22with you two bitches
26:22over there.
26:23Yeah.
26:24Which is wild.
26:25Like that makes me so happy.
26:26That's great.
26:27Like how do you feel?
26:30Yeah how do you feel
26:31about your lyrics
26:31like how do you
26:32do you think you deliver them well?
26:34Olivia was the first person
26:35to ask me about my lyrics
26:36and it's just been
26:38really hard for me.
26:39So it's now or never
26:41I have to tell these girls
26:42why I wrote those lyrics
26:44why I was kind of being
26:46weird in rehearsal
26:48the time is now.
26:50This week was one of the most
26:51emotional weeks of my life
26:54just because
26:54when we went in
26:56to the rehearsal
26:57I was just kind of
26:58taken off guard
26:58because I mean
26:59I haven't talked to you guys
27:00about my gender situation
27:02and all of that
27:02and so just like
27:03when I got out there
27:04I was kind of just paralyzed
27:06and like so not in the moment
27:07at all
27:08I couldn't take anything
27:09in just because
27:10you know
27:11like I'm a transgender guy
27:12that does drag.
27:14Even though we just did
27:15a song together
27:16and her saying it
27:17in the lyrics
27:17it didn't hit me
27:18I didn't realize
27:19that's what she was saying
27:20now I get it.
27:21By the whole rehearsal
27:23she was flustered
27:24and she seemed like
27:25overwhelmed.
27:26It like fucked me up
27:27and even like now
27:28it's just like
27:28it still is like a lot
27:30it was just a lot.
27:31Transitioning's just
27:32a really insane
27:33emotional roller coaster
27:34and you just have to
27:35kind of be prepared for it
27:37and train yourself
27:37on how to deal with it.
27:39I mean let me tell you
27:40you are opening doors
27:41for bitches.
27:42You are.
27:43Because to be
27:44the first trans man
27:45on RuPaul's Drag Race
27:48Iconic behavior.
27:49I'm so proud of it.
27:50Yeah that's true.
27:51Trailblazer.
27:51You just deserve it
27:52for you though.
27:54It doesn't matter
27:54what your past is.
27:56It doesn't matter
27:56like you're you.
27:58You're Mick.
27:59Down.
28:00Seeing the vulnerable
28:00side of Mick really
28:02it's an eye opener for me
28:03and I just want to like
28:04hug him and just be like
28:06it's okay
28:06you can be yourself with us
28:07you're making history
28:08and you're going to be
28:09such an icon
28:11for so many trans men
28:12that don't have
28:13a presentation out there
28:14and I really admire Mick
28:15for really opening up to us.
28:16I'm just so happy to be here
28:17and I'm so happy
28:18to talk about it.
28:19But it was fucked up
28:20and then I just felt so bad
28:21because I was like
28:22oh my god
28:22they just think
28:23like I'm not paying attention
28:23but I was like
28:24literally paralyzed.
28:25It was awful.
28:26Sorry you felt that way
28:27but I hope you just felt
28:28like our love regardless.
28:31the minute you walked up
28:33I said competition.
28:34You know what I mean?
28:34It wasn't
28:35it's not like
28:36you just have a good soul.
28:38And also
28:38we're in a drag competition
28:40where your talent
28:41matter.
28:42Yeah I love talent.
28:43Throw it on the table.
28:44We're at the day.
28:45We kind of talked about
28:46that at the mirrors
28:46and I want to say it again
28:48because I feel like
28:49I speak for everyone
28:50when I say like
28:51it felt so amazing
28:53on stage
28:53to be with you
28:54in that moment
28:55because I know
28:57that that was
28:57a really big moment
28:58for you

29:00really awesome
29:00to connect with you
29:02on that level.
29:02Thank you guys.
29:03It's special.
29:05I don't know
29:06what I was expecting
29:07but everyone's
29:08just really supportive.
29:09I just feel so accepted
29:11so loved
29:12so validated
29:13and so happy.
29:18I know we're like
29:19only two weeks in
29:20but do you guys
29:20feel like you've
29:21learned something?
29:22I don't know about y'all
29:23but I'm learning like
29:24patience.
29:25Oh yeah.
29:27New York is like
29:28so fast moving
29:28and we're so used
29:29to like
29:30what we have
29:31and who we do
29:31and like in New York
29:32you know I'm used
29:33to doing my own shows
29:35so being here
29:35in a mix with people
29:36and we're all
29:37like on the same level
29:38it's taught me
29:39to just take a step back
29:41you know what I mean
29:41and like look at everything
29:42from a different light
29:43you know
29:43and it's vulnerable

30:13and that's honestly
30:14why I went to New York
30:15but being here
30:17and seeing drag

33:27I am so scared and terrified
33:29of the possibility of being in the bottom two
33:31I don't want to go home
33:33I've worked so hard to get to where I am right now
33:36and to get on Drag Race

34:37you're a winner baby
34:40Olivia Lux
34:41you're safe to slay another day
34:44now let the music play
34:55thank you ladies
34:57I think we've heard enough
34:58while you untuck in the workroom
35:01the judges and I will deliberate
35:12I basically hear from the judges that you look great but your performance was not
35:17it's just frustrating because it was just kind of like a reality check in a way maybe it wasn't as
35:23good as I thought it was
35:25I'm comfortable with my performance
35:27I may not have risen to the occasion as the judges would have liked to see me but that number
35:33solidified us as a group
35:37I can't
35:39Oh, look at that. Here we go.
35:40We got the Queen's walking.
35:44Ooh, our first runway.
35:46We did it.
35:47Where's those dranky drinks? Come through.
35:49Yes.
35:50Oh, my God.
35:51Guys, we did it our first runway.
35:54We did.
35:54It's our second time on the main stage, but the first time in control.
35:58Our first challenge.
35:59Yeah.
35:59How does everybody feel?
36:01Overall, the critiques were, like, very positive energy.
36:05I think we all excelled this week,
36:07so whoever is in the bottom,
36:09it might just be by, like, a small hair of a thing or something.
36:12But it was because we were good.
36:14Yeah.
36:14Exactly.
36:14We had a fire lit under us.
36:17Exactly.
36:17Extra hot and extra fucking spicy.
36:19Right.
36:19After that first day.
36:20Exactly.
36:21And obviously, we've fallen in love with each other,
36:23so we've had nothing but fun,
36:24and we've been supportive of each other,
36:26and anybody who had any qualms or, like, doubts about themselves,
36:29I think everybody delivered today through all of that shit.
36:33Do we have any thoughts of who would be in the top?
36:38I think the top is going to be either you, Denali,
36:42or Joey, or you and Rosé, personally.
36:45I think, based on the critiques, definitely Rosé.
36:47For sure.
36:49In conjunction with the looks as well,
36:53Kimora, like, period.
36:54You slayed us all, Kimora.
36:56In terms of, like, the looks, you just ate us all up.
37:00For Tamisha as well.
37:01They loved it so much.
37:04It was amazing.
37:05I was like, what?
37:06You're like, oh, I can die happy.
37:07Like, work.
37:08Sacred, right?
37:09I had a good moment.
37:10I had a good moment.
37:11Do you feel like you were holding back during the ensemble pieces?
37:14Yes, because when it came to the performance, we were working so good as a team.
37:19Yeah.
37:20You know what I'm saying?
37:20So I was trying to be a team player.
37:23I wanted to be a team player and wait till my turn and then shine.
37:27And I was concentrating on my moment.
37:29That's such a motherly thing to do.
37:30I know.
37:31Let the kids have their moment and I'll have mine when it comes.
37:35And that was it.
37:35As I'm like, 100% in the back.
37:37Look at me.
37:39Being a selfish bitch.
37:41I know it's a competition, but at the same time, I'm enjoying myself.
37:46So we don't have any drama.
37:48We don't have any shame.
37:48We really don't.
37:49Not yet.
37:50Not till we see the other girls.
37:52I'm so curious if they've already, if they're getting along the way we are.
37:56I'm really curious to know if they have a chemistry week.
37:58That's a good point.
37:58The three New York girls in that group?
38:00Three?
38:01Yeah.
38:02Candy, Olivia, and Tina.
38:03Oh, I forgot about Olivia.
38:04I don't think anybody has ever seen them in the same room at the same time before.
38:07So I guess I'm like the connecting factor between the New York girls.
38:10Because I have a relationship with each of them individually.
38:12I'm really excited to see them.
38:14Really?
38:15I'm interested to see what that's going to be like.
38:17Also, none of them are like my close friends though.
38:19Really?
38:19Yeah.
38:20Do you think anyone's going to get eliminated today?
38:26I actually don't know.
38:29They threw us for a fucking loop already.
38:31Exactly.
38:31So, you know.
38:33She's going to be like, three of you will be leaving now.
38:35Ah!
38:36Like, wow!
38:37Obviously, like, you know, I don't want anyone to go home either.
38:41But I do know, like, while he did say positive things about me, I did have the worst critique
38:47in terms of my performance.
38:51It just, like, really sucks, you know?
38:52Because you've all seen, like, how hard I tried to, like, do so well in the dance choreography.
38:58Like, I wanted them to see that, like, passion.
39:01And, like, I thought I was given it.
39:05And, you know, and, like, tonight on the runway, I felt confident.
39:09I felt beautiful.
39:10Like, I felt like I was wearing this outfit.
39:12Like, this was mine, you know?
39:13Like, this is my body.
39:14Like, I felt so good.
39:16That doesn't have to define you.
39:18Take that criticism and apply it to yourself.
39:20I don't think that the clothes wear you.
39:21No, I don't either.
39:22I mean, if they do, they're lucky because you're fucking snatched.
39:24I'm a dancer, and our routine was difficult.
39:26So, props to fucking you because, like, you're not a dancer, and you belonged on that stage
39:31with us, you know?
39:32So, like, enough of that shit, girl.
39:35I'm going to take a flip-flop and just fucking clock you.
39:36I know.
39:36It's just, like, I'm a perfectionist, you know?
39:38Like, I want to always show my best.
39:40And, like, if I do have the lipstick tonight, I'm going to fucking lipstick the best that I can.
39:45Right.
39:46We all lost our lip sync.
39:48Are you happy that you're on this side?
39:50Would you rather be on the other side?
39:52I feel like everything kind of happens for a reason.
39:54Like, I feel like this was meant to happen, and I feel like I'm a stronger, better queen
40:00because of it.
40:01And so, like, I'm glad that, in a way, I'm not just, like, sitting comfortably.
40:06I'm happy it happened.
40:06The last thing you need when you walk in here is your ego stroked even more.
40:10Oh, my God.
40:12I'm so grateful that that didn't happen.
40:14My ego loves a nice little stroking.
40:16Yeah, baby.
40:17She does.
40:17Yeah.
40:18Whose ego doesn't, you know?
40:19Exactly.
40:20It's nice to be praised.
40:21It's nice to get attention in a good manner for what you like to do and what you want to
40:25be good at.
40:25But, like, bitch, yeah.
40:27I don't know who I would be in this chair on this day if I had won that lip sync.
40:33Isn't that crazy?
40:35I would say that it's humbling.
40:37You know, I came into this competition, like, I am the shit mama.
40:42Of course.
40:42And then when, you know, you get booted down just a little bit by a fellow sister, and
40:47then you think that you're going to go home first.
40:50You think you're going to go home and tell all your friends, how long did I last?
40:54You didn't even unpack your band.
40:56Exactly.
40:57You know, but then that just gives you that fire.
41:00And you just want to, like, and you just want to really prove yourself.
41:05And I think we're doing that right now.
41:07Definitely.
41:08I think the judges thought that tonight.
41:09For me, I needed that kick.
41:11In my mind, I was like, I don't understand what I'm going into.
41:15And I was like, I know I possibly could do good, but I don't know.
41:18But to actually start the game off with, oh, go to the pork chop room.
41:22You know what I'm saying?
41:23It was like, oh, baby, I got to fight.
41:24And we all had that fighting spirit.
41:28Just so nervous that first day.
41:30Like, regardless of who you are, how great you think you are, if you're sent into RuPaul's Drag Race day
41:35one to lip sync without even a thought to think or a moment to, like, settle, I think even the
41:42other girls that won probably felt like, whoa, blackout, what just happened?
41:45I'm very grateful that it happened, though.
41:46Like, it's definitely what I needed.
41:49And I feel like I kind of got that out of the way.
41:52These girls have not been in the bottom yet.
41:54They don't know how that feels.
41:56And it's like, all right, girl.
41:57To me, right now, it happened.
41:58It's done.
41:59I'm not worrying about it anymore.
42:00Exactly.
42:00I'm working on the next thing that's in front of me.
42:02But the other group of girls doesn't know what's coming.
42:05They don't know what's about to hit them.
42:11Even after our rehearsal, I came back to my room and kept practicing.
42:15I was tired, but I didn't want to drag you girls down.
42:19And, like, you were all so patient with me, teaching me what an eight count is and all that.
42:23I know, right?
42:23Like, what the fuck?
42:24You don't know what a fucking eight count is.
42:27What the fuck is that?
42:28Like, what's a pivot?
42:28What's up?
42:29And you sure learned.
42:30What's a box step?
42:30Box step!
42:31Now you have a box step?
42:32If you are going to lipstick for your life, you're stacked with tricks now.
42:35You got a box step.
42:36You know how to count to eight.
42:39So we never really got to talk about Elliot.
42:42We all voted for Elliot, right?
42:44There are only six of us left because we had to vote out one of the queens last week.
42:48Unfortunately, it was Elliot.
42:50My reasoning?
42:52We have a tie between Elliot with two T's and Utica.
42:58Then the tiebreaker voting round begins.
43:01The votes are in.
43:02Then the queen who's getting the fork top is Elliot with two T's.
43:11What was, like, everyone's reasoning if he had, like...
43:14Well, we didn't have very much time to meet anyone.
43:17And when you have to vote someone off, and it's not like we can sit here all night,
43:21you have to make a decision right now.
43:23We only pretty much had first impressions.
43:25Right.
43:25So I was looking at everyone's looks.
43:28And everyone had a concept.
43:29Like, Rosé, you walked in, like, fucking bomb is fucking pink, you know?
43:32You had fucking ice skates on.
43:34And Elliot walks in with, uh, I don't know who made the look or where she got it,
43:38but it looked off the rack to me.
43:41It looked a little off the rack.
43:42When they broke it down to us saying that we have to eliminate a fellow queen,
43:47if I were in her position and they said first impressions
43:51and I knew I was the last one in there,
43:53bitch, I would have spoken up.
43:55Read a room, sis. Read a room.
43:57Read the room, exactly.
43:58Meanwhile, I'm sitting over here on my side, like,
44:00bitch, I might go home.
44:02Like, we all were shaking our boots.
44:04I was physically quivering.
44:07Utica, we voted twice, right?
44:09We voted the first round and there was a tie.
44:11How did that make you feel?
44:12When it went from the six of us to suddenly the two of y'all.
44:16It made me feel like,
44:18oh, man, maybe I should have talked more
44:20or maybe I should have chimed in more.
44:22Maybe my look is, like, too much for everybody.
44:24So I was a little down on myself with that fact,
44:27but I really want to be here
44:29and I want to, you know, join in with you guys.
44:31And we saw that at the Kimora,
44:33nail fell off and you immediately,
44:35you jumped right up.
44:36I got you.
44:45Now she has a nail glue.
44:47Absolutely.
44:49That solidified it for me.
44:51The only immediate reaction we had from you was,
44:54oh, my God, I have to help this girl
44:55because her nail fell off.
44:56Hey, work.
44:57Like, sick name.
44:58I did vote for you the first round.
45:00I voted for you as well.
45:02In the second round of voting,
45:04I did feel really bad, like, picking Elliot
45:05because, like, I don't know, in a way,
45:07like, I guess I knew her a little longer
45:09because we lip-singed together.
45:10Yeah.
45:11With that frickin' nail glue.
45:13I just couldn't send you home after that happened.
45:16Like, you just did something so nice.
45:17I got you, bitch.
45:19So how do you guys feel at the thought
45:20of someone going home tonight, though?
45:22Like, amongst this family that we just created?
45:25It makes me sad.
45:26It is very sad, but, like, we have to just remember
45:29that while we're having a great time with each other,
45:31we came to a competition where we know
45:33that every week queens are eliminated.
45:35I really don't know who I'm going to be lip-syncing against
45:37if there is a lip-sync for your life tonight.
45:39I know how much everyone has put in this competition.
45:42You know how much I've worked hard on that choreography.
45:44I'm really proud of myself.
45:45I'm not going without a fight, you know,
45:46and, like, I'm not the same Kimura I was
45:49the first time you saw me, you know?
45:51If it is what it is, like, I'm ready to fight.
45:53But at the same time, it's like,
45:54I don't know who I'm going against
45:55because you all did so well.
45:57What if they brought that box out
45:58and we had to vote again?
46:00Oh, my God.
46:02Well.
46:03Amongst us?
46:04Yeah.
46:04Elliot.
46:14Kimura, you said your parents
46:15had never seen you perform
46:17or really understand what you're doing.
46:19You all have been such a good, like,
46:20support system for me here.
46:22It's like, I wish I had this, like,
46:23kind of same support, like, back home.
46:25My parents don't know that I do this.
46:27Oh, well, damn.
46:27And so it's like, I, like,
46:28I really wanted to come on the show
46:31to prove to them, like, I can do this, you know?
46:33And then, like, drag can be a successful career.
46:36Keep in mind, I've been doing this 30 years
46:38and my mother has never seen me perform.
46:41Wait, really?
46:42Ever.
46:42Does she, like, know of?
46:43Oh, she knows, but, um,
46:46it's just kind of taboo.
46:49And I respect her enough not to even bring it around
46:52or anything like that.
46:53I mean, I'm not hiding,
46:55but it, it kind of broke my heart
46:57to hear you say it
46:58because 30 years ago,
46:59I understand homosexuality was taboo,
47:02but now we've come full circle
47:04and you're experiencing the same thing, you know?
47:06What is it about that situation,
47:08about your parents?
47:09It's just, like,
47:11at least for my situation,
47:12like, coming from a very strict Asian,
47:14like, traditional family household,
47:17like, they expect me to be, like,
47:18a doctor or a lawyer and all that, you know?
47:19And, like, this is not something
47:22that they would be accepting of.
47:24And, um, you know, like,
47:26just coming out to them in general
47:27was really hard.
47:28Wow.
47:28And, like, I felt like
47:29when I came out to my mom,
47:30she was, like, really disappointed in me.
47:32I'm afraid to, like, tell her
47:34that I actually do this
47:35because I don't want to disappoint her again.
47:37You know?
47:37Right.
47:38I'm not trying to hide anything either.
47:39It's just, like, you know,
47:41I did tell her, like,
47:42I do dress up in women's clothing.
47:43Oh, okay.
47:44But she doesn't know that it's, like, this.
47:46She doesn't know that it's Bob Mackie, Blair.
47:48Right.
47:48She doesn't know that it's that kind of clothing.
47:50She's never seen Kimora perform
47:52or, like, I haven't seen her any, like,
47:53haven't shown her any pictures or anything.
47:55Right.
47:55Although I look just like my mom in drag.
47:57She's hot.
47:59Kimora, can I just say, like,
48:00I had the biggest fear
48:03coming out to my mom and my dad.
48:05Coming out as a drag queen,
48:07it was very difficult
48:08because they basically thought
48:08I was a stripper, you know?
48:10But, you know, we're artists
48:11and we, like, are living our best life
48:14through this beautiful art.
48:17And for me, when I came out to them,
48:19I just thought
48:21it was going to be the end
48:22of, like, my relationship with your family.
48:24But let me just say
48:24that they are missing out
48:26on who Kimora is.
48:28Like, it means a lot to me.
48:29Like, I actually mean it when I say,
48:31like, I came in this competition
48:32not really, like, expecting to make, like,
48:33sisterhood and friendships.
48:35Obviously, like, with Denali
48:36because we already know each other,
48:37but, like, I love you girls so much.
48:40And, like, some of the best moments I had
48:42was just honestly rehearsing
48:43with you on stage.
48:44Like, I felt like we were, like, a team,
48:46you know?
48:46I'm going to shave my bum.
48:50You guys are the best.
48:52Of the best.
48:53You're here.
48:53We're actually not.
48:54We're all together
48:55because we lost the lipstick.
48:56Do we have to remind you?
48:57You're here to come.
48:58We all lost the lipstick.
48:59But I know what you're saying.
49:06I was so excited
49:08to come to Drag Race
49:09and have the Drag Race experience.
49:12What I was not expecting
49:14and what no other girls
49:15who've been on Drag Race before
49:16will experience
49:17is face masks,
49:19face shields,
49:20being in drag
49:21and having to cover your face
49:23to get from stage to stage,
49:24being segregated in a hotel room
49:27where only four specific people
49:28can physically touch you
49:30because you had to quarantine.
49:32Right.
49:32I don't know if you guys
49:34are, like,
49:34in the same place
49:35that I'm at with that,
49:36but that was an adjustment for me
49:37and I really struggled
49:38with that in the beginning.
49:40I think, to be honest,
49:41I completely agree,
49:42but even more so than that,
49:44I think just the strides
49:45that we obviously had to endure
49:47and make to get here
49:48during the onset
49:49and heart of the pandemic
49:51as far as just getting shit together.
49:52Yeah, I mean,
49:53big city girls got lucky,
49:54but, like, for other people...
49:55Very lucky.
49:56The last minute.
49:56Were, like,
49:57fabric stores accessible
49:58and things,
49:59were they open?
50:00What's crazy, too,
50:01is, like,
50:02all of us have lived
50:03basically almost now
50:05over half the year
50:06in isolation.
50:07Yes.
50:08For someone like me
50:08who thrives off of human energy
50:10and communication
50:11and friendship,
50:13that is the most difficult thing for me.
50:15Yiriko gave me a hug
50:16and I realized
50:17I hadn't gotten a hug
50:18in two weeks.
50:19That was the first hug
50:20that I had.
50:20Human touch.
50:21And I was like,
50:23holy shit,
50:23like, that's not right,
50:25you know,
50:25but that's what it is.
50:27It's the new normal for now.
50:28I came here to fight,
50:29I came to get ready for war
50:31and bitch,
50:31if I can't get a hug
50:32every now and then,
50:32well, okay,
50:33that's fine.
50:36Can I fix all my makeup?
50:37Let's get our shit together.
50:38Let's do it.
50:38Because we have to...
50:39We have to figure out
50:40what the hell is going on.
50:42Oh, I feel like I just
50:44stepped out of the water.
50:45Oh, were they iPods?
50:46They're right there
50:46on the table.
50:48Oh, okay, I see it.
50:49Here at Drag Race,
50:50you're in drag so long
50:51that you have to shave.
50:52You're shaving?
50:53Oh my God.
50:54Because my mustache
50:54is like fully here.
50:57So,
50:57this is the last hoorah.
50:58How y'all feel?
51:00I'm going to give it to them.
51:00Like, I'm going to do
51:01the best that I can.
51:02Right.
51:03I'm going to show them
51:03that there's still a fire in here.
51:05There's still passion.
51:06And I like,
51:06whoever I go against,
51:07like,
51:08it'll be fun,
51:09but I'm here to stay.
51:10Yeah, that's right, bitch.
51:11I'm here to stay.
51:12I'm feeling confident
51:13bottom land isn't happening.
51:15I mean,
51:15if top land happens,
51:17that would be
51:17just a lovely adventure.
51:18You know what I've learned?
51:20Never assume.
51:22I'm never going to assume anymore.
51:23Never assume.
51:24I assumed when I came in
51:25that I would do good,
51:26and I ended up in the bottom.
51:28So at this point,
51:29no more assumptions.
51:30No more assumptions.
51:32I think Tamisha and I
51:34may land in the bottom.
51:36The fight's not over.
51:37I am so proud of myself
51:38for learning what
51:39a freaking A-count is
51:41and a box step.
51:42I'm a dancing queen now, baby.
51:44Like, I'm going to show
51:44the judges what I can do.
51:47The judges like my outfit,
51:48but we're an end to the performance.
51:50I'm ready to lip sync.
51:52I'm going to fight to the end.
51:53Ladies,
51:54time to the main stage.
51:55Follow me.
51:56Okay.
