00:00:06This week, the queens performed a one-woman stand-up comedy routine.
00:00:11Raja was first to perform, and while the audience applauded,
00:00:15she went backstage for a breather in the Interior Illusions Lounge.
00:00:24I just finished my comedy routine, and I feel a huge rush going through.
00:00:31I feel like I've just skydived or bungee jumped. It's got that same exhilaration.
00:00:36Carrie is definitely one of my favorite horror films of all time.
00:00:39It's a very compelling story that I can actually relate to.
00:00:41You know, Carrie's a little bit awkward, and so am I.
00:00:44Carrie's a social misfit, so am I.
00:00:47Carrie's a virgin, and I'm a virgin.
00:00:49You know.
00:00:51I recommend it to everyone.
00:00:53If you ever get that opportunity to try comedy for the first time,
00:00:56you should definitely do it.
00:00:57Oh, my God. I'm so glad it's over.
00:01:00I'm so glad that's over.
00:01:03Eat it, eat it, eat it.
00:01:05How'd it go?
00:01:05Oh, it was amazing.
00:01:07It was fucking amazing.
00:01:09It was fun, right?
00:01:10Bitch, I had them laughing, girl. I had them into it.
00:01:13Really?
00:01:13Yeah.
00:01:14I want to be a fat girl.
00:01:16I won't ever have to explain the stains on my T-shirt.
00:01:20You know what the fuck I've been doing?
00:01:22I'm hungry as shit, okay?
00:01:25And I'm like, bitch, I want to fucking turn it for all these fucking haters who think I can't do
00:01:29it.
00:01:29Because, you know, they kept asking me, oh, girl, like, well, what are you going to do?
00:01:33Yeah.
00:01:33Like, and you know it was the booger crew.
00:01:35Who's the booger crew?
00:01:36Girl, you know who the booger crew is.
00:01:38The non-Heathers are the booger crew.
00:01:40It was like a huge fuck you to all the queens because I love proving people wrong.
00:01:44I don't care how good you are.
00:01:45You will never figure me out, ever.
00:01:47Well, I have to say that the toughest part of this whole thing is being the first person up.
00:01:51You know what it's like, like, just performing in a club when you're the first girl out.
00:01:54And I know why Shangela chose me to go first.
00:01:56Because she's a sabotager.
00:01:57She wanted to sabotage a little bit and she kind of wanted to see me eat it.
00:02:00So what if I'm not a comedian, you know?
00:02:03I think I kicked ass.
00:02:04I feel good.
00:02:05I feel good, too.
00:02:07Woo, bitches.
00:02:08Mama, come in.
00:02:09Have a drink.
00:02:11Let me tell you.
00:02:12Uh-huh.
00:02:12Did you have fun?
00:02:13That was an experience that we're not going to forget, honey.
00:02:17I'm feeling great, confident.
00:02:20I mean, I thought it was really a bit worse than that, but it went well.
00:02:23I am a beautiful Latina that can make money just with my body, honey.
00:02:27What did you get?
00:02:28What got your biggest laugh?
00:02:29When I reveal, of course, the stripper moment.
00:02:31I'm a Latina girl and I only have two options in this country.
00:02:34Being a housekeeper or being a stripper, bitches.
00:02:37And you all know I didn't come here to clean toilets, baby.
00:02:40So I became a stripper, baby.
00:02:44Bam, bam, Beyonce, baby.
00:02:47Step away, honey, because I am here and I'm queer, baby.
00:02:51Yes, man, I am so happy.
00:02:53I did amazing.
00:02:54I know, they were laughing.
00:02:55They were laughing down, like, and I was so relieved.
00:02:57I was ready to see Carmen being one of the worst ones today in the challenge,
00:03:01and she actually did good.
00:03:04I was surprised.
00:03:05It was cute.
00:03:06It was really cute.
00:03:06It was good.
00:03:07All right, fellow comedians.
00:03:10All right, comedians.
00:03:11Ooh, hallelujah.
00:03:14That was a challenge.
00:03:15It was fun.
00:03:16They're a really great audience.
00:03:17They're full of energy and life, and they respond to you, so that just, it makes it much easier.
00:03:23How many of y'all are single out there?
00:03:25Anybody out there happily single?
00:03:27All right.
00:03:28I ain't fuck you and your happily single ass.
00:03:30I'm unhappily single.
00:03:32Trying to find a prince charming like Cinderella, right?
00:03:35Fuck Cinderella, stupid bitch.
00:03:37I really am just going off the energy of the audience, and they're so into it.
00:03:41Now, had Cinderella's ass been a drag queen, things would have been a little different.
00:03:45Come midnight, the bitch's beard would have popped out of her foundation,
00:03:48her tuck would have come undone, and her wig line would have been here to the middle of
00:03:52a motherfucking cranium.
00:03:54Woo!
00:03:55It was awesome.
00:03:56It was awesome.
00:03:56And thank you, because you set the tone, you know, being the first person out there.
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:01It was so fun.
00:04:03I felt like I was, like, on a little bit of a roller coaster.
00:04:05I was like, like that adrenaline comes through you, and then finally when you grasp them,
00:04:10and they're, like, into it, and they're, like, staring intensely, like, waiting to hear
00:04:12an X word, I was like, got him.
00:04:14Shangela's plan backfired on her, because what Shangela doesn't realize is that I am
00:04:18a professional, and I've been doing this for a long time.
00:04:21I think I shocked her a little bit.
00:04:22Sorry, Shangela.
00:04:28Carmen, what are you doing?
00:04:29Wait now, what you're doing?
00:04:30I am tucking my pussy, because, you know, it's hot underneath this damn fat suit, girl.
00:04:36I'm confused why you're tucking when you're under a fat suit.
00:04:38No, girl, because if my stuff comes out, she will come out.
00:04:42Carmen is definitely fun, but she's relying a lot on sex appeal, and as the next drag
00:04:47superstar, you have to have charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
00:04:52She got a lot of nerve.
00:04:59Right, Miss Thing?
00:05:00Got your pussy out?
00:05:01Mm-hmm.
00:05:02How are you doing, girl?
00:05:04Well, I mean, honestly, like, it's hard.
00:05:06It's hard.
00:05:06I'm not a stand-up comedian as a drag queen.
00:05:09I'm used to just, you know, lip-syncing someone else's stuff.
00:05:15After Sesame Street was over was Mr. Rogers.
00:05:18Now, looking back at that, that show's gay, too.
00:05:22Mr. McFeely.
00:05:24And he's always like, hey, Fred.
00:05:27Look at that.
00:05:28Look at Netflix I found in someone else's mail.
00:05:31So, they popped that, when they popped that DVD into Brett's flat screen, let me just tell
00:05:36you, they ain't watching how to make crayons.
00:05:41I totally bomb a joke.
00:05:45I was just in this empty space.
00:05:52And at the very...
00:06:03I'm sorry.
00:06:05Honestly, I never expected to get this emotional.
00:06:09I have no idea how I'm going to rebound from this.
00:06:18After her stand-up routine on stage, Jara joined the other girls in the Interior Illusions
00:06:23Lounge.
00:06:27Hey!
00:06:27How was it?
00:06:28Hey!
00:06:28La Clara!
00:06:30What the hell are you doing?
00:06:31What are you doing?
00:06:32I'm chilling.
00:06:33I'm not going to come out with that.
00:06:34Why?
00:06:35Because it's too hot.
00:06:36It's making me sweat.
00:06:38Down.
00:06:40How are you doing, girl?
00:06:41They love it.
00:06:43They did?
00:06:43They were laughing.
00:06:44I love it.
00:06:45Fuck!
00:06:46I met a guy in a club.
00:06:48I was dancing, you know, shake and shake and shake and shake and shake.
00:06:50Heee!
00:06:52After that, he took me to the apartment.
00:06:54And he took her close off.
00:06:57Oh my God!
00:06:58What the hell is that?
00:07:00It was huge!
00:07:02After that, I realized the difference between an onion and a 14-inch dick both makes me cry.
00:07:12I'm doing my stand-up routine, and I see the people in front of me like, what the hell?
00:07:19But I think they love me.
00:07:21Who else is left?
00:07:23Just Delta.
00:07:23Delta.
00:07:24Just Delta.
00:07:25Just Delta.
00:07:25Come on, Delta.
00:07:27After her routine, Delta headed backstage to join the other queens, where she seemed a little on edge.
00:07:35I was really doubting myself.
00:07:37I was really scared because I was just like, I didn't think, honestly, I think this is the first challenge
00:07:42that I was like, I don't think I can do it.
00:07:45I was at the free clinic the other day, and there's this guy there, and he's so hot.
00:07:49And then I think to myself, he's working at the free clinic.
00:07:53Like, what kind of work release program do you have to be on that you're working at the free clinic?
00:07:58And then I realized, where are my standards?
00:08:01I don't have to go out with a guy like that.
00:08:03So I realized, maybe it's not about looking for Mr. Right.
00:08:07Maybe it's about looking for Mr. Right now.
00:08:09Yeah?
00:08:11So, I don't know.
00:08:13Usually we have something to play off of.
00:08:15You know what I mean?
00:08:16Each other.
00:08:17And you'll say something, and then I'll be like, oh, that's this.
00:08:20And we just continue the joke.
00:08:21So, essentially, what I was talking about was being like a big girl and looking for a date.
00:08:29Looking for Mr. Right, but realizing that Mr. Right isn't something you can look for.
00:08:34Then realizing maybe it's Mr. Right now.
00:08:37And then it's not really, maybe it's not Mr. Right now.
00:08:40Maybe it's just a good lay.
00:08:49I'm looking at Delta, and I'm patting myself on the back.
00:08:53Delta attacked me about me not being ready to be a performer.
00:08:57I completely want to send Delta home packing, and I'm doing it with the strategy of putting her last.
00:09:03The girls left the interior illusions lounge to hear the judges' feedback on their performances.
00:09:09And Delta did not fare well in the critiques.
00:09:12You seemed a little bit nervous, and some of the setup seemed a little bit long.
00:09:17We kind of went a bit of a distance without a laugh.
00:09:19Maybe you lost your way because you were nervous and couldn't find it quick enough.
00:09:24Stop stopping yourself.
00:09:25Get out of your head.
00:09:28While the judges deliberated, the girls went back to the lounge.
00:09:33Well, ladies, we're off another runway.
00:09:41Honestly, I mean, I'm just kind of at the point right now where I don't even care what the judges
00:09:47think.
00:09:48They're going to think what they're going to think.
00:09:49I'm so tired of people like—I saw people in the audience wince when I was making fat jokes about myself,
00:09:55like it was unacceptable for them to laugh at it.
00:09:57And the only reason it was unacceptable for them is because they were in front of a fat person.
00:10:01Because anywhere else, it's funny.
00:10:03Anywhere else, it's fucking hilarious.
00:10:06The same way a bunch of people will maybe laugh at some other ethnic joke, but then when they're in
00:10:11front of somebody of that ethnic group, they'll be like, oh, no, I don't say that.
00:10:43Well, I think I did great.
00:10:44I'm excited to hear, you know, something constructive, and it always feels really good.
00:10:49I would think, Jada, that you might just win this challenge.
00:10:53I love the critics for me.
00:10:56I love stand-up comedy.
00:10:58And I asked Rita, I said, I could do it in Spanish.
00:11:01It could be much better.
00:11:03Definitely, because I wanted to—they understand me, what I'm saying.
00:11:07And I think they did, because everybody in the audience were laughing.
00:11:11Even if you were speaking something they couldn't understand because of your body language, because of what you were doing,
00:11:17they loved it.
00:11:18I always be me.
00:11:19Yeah.
00:11:20Manila, what'd you think?
00:11:21I mean, I'm not a comedian.
00:11:22So, like, the jokes that I came up with, I never heard anyone say them.
00:11:32Um, at a conscious level.
00:11:34Now, the Sesame Street jokes were very funny.
00:11:36Did you think of those, or had you heard them somewhere else?
00:11:38No, I just kind of, like, quick made it up.
00:11:40I feel like I've heard a lot of those jokes before.
00:11:43I mean, the Bert and Ernie joke, let's be honest, everybody has been telling that.
00:11:46But, like, I mean, if there's some comedian out there and he's like, oh, my God, that drag queen just
00:11:51stole my joke.
00:11:52Um, um, sorry.
00:11:54I think that it's going to be difficult for them to pick two people to lip sync, so I think
00:11:57they should just ask me to do a one-woman show.
00:12:00I almost feel like if she says, like, it's time for you to lip sync for your life, I feel
00:12:03like saying, you know what, I'm cool.
00:12:04I would just like to say, you know what, Ru, I appreciate, I respect your decision, but unfortunately, I've already
00:12:08made a buffoon of myself, and I don't need to do it more.
00:12:11I'd like to take my show somewhere where I can go get tipped.
00:12:14Just don't degrade this other person, let them stay, and let me just go home, because I'm not going to
00:12:18lip sync.
00:12:25If you had done it twice already, you might want to, you might think this, you might think differently.
00:12:29It's difficult being in the bottom.
00:12:30You almost feel like you're begging.
00:12:32Because you're literally like, Ru, Ru, Ru, me, pick me, pick me, look, pick me, look, pick me, look, pick
00:12:43me, look, pick me, look, pick me, look, pick me, look, pick me, like, fuck that, dude.
00:12:46I'm not a fucking buffoon, I'm not a fucking idiot, you know what I mean?
00:12:49I don't want to do it again.
00:12:50Like, if I have to do it again, I really don't think I'm capable of it.
00:12:56I do not agree with that.
00:12:57I don't agree with that at all.
00:12:58I'm not crawling on the floor again.
00:13:00If you had done it twice already, you might think differently.
00:13:04My biggest weakness is my lack of ability to always see the light at the end of the tunnel.
00:13:09I may throw a fit, I may get upset, I may think that I'm not capable of doing something.
00:13:14There's always this little voice that says, this is exactly what everyone's expecting you to do, is to fail and
00:13:21fuck it up.
00:13:24Sensing Delta's desperation, Raja took her through to the gold bar.
00:13:29Okay, so you gotta stop this.
00:13:30Stop what?
00:13:32Oh my god, I don't want her to go.
00:13:34I've really grown accustomed to having my very good friend here, and I don't feel good about it.
00:13:39You know what, honestly, I'm not challenging anyone for saying, based on personal taste, I personally don't think you're funny.
00:13:47That's fine, you know, maybe I'm not.
00:13:48But that's not what they said.
00:13:49That's fine, that's fine to not be personally funny.
00:13:51It's fine for somebody to say you look nervous.
00:13:53But you know what, it's not fine to beg somebody, can I please come back here one more time for
00:13:59the third time?
00:14:00Oh my god.
00:14:02Delta has a lot of insecurities that fills her head sometimes, and she really needs to realize how amazing she
00:14:08is.
00:14:08And I try to tell her daily, but you know, unless you actually believe it in your head, then you're
00:14:12just not going to believe it.
00:14:15Back in the lounge, Shangela tested the waters to try to find out the other girl's feelings about her lineup
00:14:21order.
00:14:22Opening the show is going to be Raja, and then Carmen, Alexis.
00:14:26Alexis, you'll introduce me, and then I'll introduce Manila, then Yara, and Delta, you'll close the show.
00:14:32Okay?
00:14:32Cool.
00:14:33What did you guys think of the lineup?
00:14:38I understand your reasoning for the way that you did the lineup.
00:14:42You know, honestly, you had the upper hand in the lineup, and you could have made it as shady as
00:14:49you wanted to.
00:14:49I think it was cool.
00:14:51I think it was cool out there.
00:14:53If I wanted to be shady, I would have been like, I want all the people I don't like to
00:14:56go first.
00:14:58So everyone who doesn't like me or who's attacking me, they're going first, and then we're going to kill the
00:15:02show after that.
00:15:03And that's just not how I wanted it to go.
00:15:06When I tell the other girls how the lineup was put together, I just tell them, it's how we do
00:15:11it at a natural comedy club.
00:15:12You want to start out strong, you want to end strong, and then you want to keep it really even
00:15:17in the middle, just to keep a great show going.
00:15:21Ding.
00:15:23Ding.
00:15:23Shangela's trying to explain how she put together the order, but I think she's lying.
00:15:27That's what I think's really going on here.
00:15:29Blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:15:30Shangela stacked the cards to put people under the bus.
00:15:34I don't believe a word she's saying, and she's not keeping it real.
00:15:37Come on.
00:15:38If she thought that she should have started with a strong person and ended with a strong person,
00:15:41why wasn't she starting the damn thing?
00:15:43She's the strongest.
00:15:46How much of the song do you know?
00:15:47I know the song.
00:15:49Well, then do it.
00:15:50Stop the song, dude.
00:15:51It's not about knowing the song.
00:15:52Oh, my God.
00:15:54Why, girl?
00:15:55You know why?
00:15:55Because I can't imagine you not being here.
00:15:57It's like this.
00:15:57Get in the ditch and pick yourself back up.
00:15:59I can't stop you.
00:16:00I can't stop you.
00:16:01But I wish, as someone who cares about you deeply, if you're put into that position, just do the number,
00:16:05because I think people will appreciate the fact that you're not giving up.
00:16:08But what am I going to do?
00:16:08Walk around with these fucking house-slippers on and be like, Goonzilla?
00:16:11Yes, ma'am. The other cunts are up there, and they've got tits out to here.
00:16:13I've got a bucket of blood on my head.
00:16:15Everyone's in a funny costume.
00:16:17Oh, my God.
00:16:17Just go for it.
00:16:18Why would you stop?
00:16:22It's really hard, because I don't want to let anyone down.
00:16:26And Raj is really more than just a friend.
00:16:28I mean, Raj is my family.
00:16:31Oh, God.
00:16:33Raj is one of the coolest people I know.
00:16:36And I want to impress her.
00:16:38And I want her to think I'm as cool as her.
00:16:41And, uh, it's really hard.
00:16:51I just want you to be here.
00:16:52I think you're so extremely talented.
00:16:54I appreciate it.
00:16:54I do want to be here.
00:16:55And I know you're exhausted.
00:16:56We're all exhausted.
00:16:57I am losing my mind.
00:16:59I've cried so many times on my own.
00:17:00I'm just like, I'm like, what the fuck am I doing here?
00:17:02It's because I want people to be able to see what I do.
00:17:05Right.
00:17:05And to be able to showcase what I do.
00:17:06And I don't think it should be any different for you.
00:17:08You're already at the top of your game as a drag queen.
00:17:10You're all over Southern California.
00:17:11And it could be even bigger.
00:17:13No, and it will be bigger.
00:17:13But the thing is, I really want to focus on my lingerie modeling.
00:17:18I think you should.
00:17:20Raj is like my fairy drag mother.
00:17:24She was the first person to put me in shows when I was a little gay baby.
00:17:28And made me realize that I had something to offer a stage.
00:17:32And so, I really value what she says.
00:17:35And, you know, I love her.
00:17:37And I think you should stay here for as long as you can.
00:17:39Even if you booger down for the performance right now.
00:17:41Enjoy your cocktail and booger down.
00:17:42Because people are going to appreciate it in the long run.
00:17:45She doesn't really see boundaries on stuff.
00:17:47So, as a friend, she provides me sort of that zone where I can say,
00:17:51maybe I should do this.
00:17:52Maybe I should do that.
00:17:52And, you know, when you have friends like that,
00:17:55you realize that you really can't fail if you haven't tried.
00:17:59The girls went back down to the main stage to find out their fate.
00:18:05Shangela won the comedy challenge.
00:18:09While Manila and Delta fell into the bottom two.
00:18:13With Raj's words of encouragement ringing in her ears,
00:18:17Delta performed the lip sync.
00:18:18Raja being there made me muster a lot more strength to do the lip sync.
00:18:24At least I'm lip syncing against a Heather.
00:18:28And if I'm going to go down,
00:18:30I want to at least go down and be beaten by somebody I respect.
00:18:33And someone that I will gladly curtsy to.
00:18:37I have made my decision.
00:18:42Manila, shantay you stay.
00:18:47Thank you for everything you've given me.
00:18:53I love you.
00:18:56Oh, fuck.
00:18:59Delta, you are a great queen.
00:19:03I love you.
00:19:04I adore you.
00:19:06Now, sashay away.
00:19:09Thank you very much.
00:19:25It was difficult.
00:19:27You know, I just kind of thought that the top four were going to be the Heathers.
00:19:31And, you know, it just didn't work out that way.
00:19:36But I'm just glad to have lost to a Heather.
00:19:38It's honorable even when you lose to somebody that you admire.
00:19:44I'm going to miss my friends.
00:19:49They came after me with knives.
00:19:52I don't attack with knives.
00:19:54I attack with strategy.
00:19:57I wanted to send Delta home and my strategy worked.
00:20:00On to the next.
00:20:04One doll down and five to go.
00:20:07Before RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:20:09And a winner!
00:20:15This week, the girls created a public service announcement on why they love the USA and walk
00:20:21the runway in their most patriotic outfits.
00:20:25Following their critiques on stage, all six girls retired to the Interior Illusions Lounge.
00:20:35What kind of drink is this?
00:20:37Have you ever had a Bloody Mary?
00:20:38Never.
00:20:39It's like a salad in a drink.
00:20:42Is it healthy?
00:20:43Mm-hmm.
00:20:44Carmen, what do you think about your critics?
00:20:48Carmen, when you first came out, I gasped.
00:20:51It was very sultry.
00:20:52Standing here, you've lost that a little bit.
00:20:54You have a tendency to, dare I say, look bored.
00:20:57That was my biggest thing.
00:20:58I wanted you to excite me and make me want to sign up, but it was just very, very soft.
00:21:02I just wanted a little bit more command of the voice, especially with this attitude and
00:21:06this look that you've got.
00:21:07You're standing there like you could really give two shits about what we think.
00:21:11No, I don't want you to think that.
00:21:13That's how it's coming across.
00:21:16I think everybody can understand being on that runway and standing there for so long.
00:21:19I mean, I'm not going to be like, I may be spaced out, but I mean, I'm thinking about
00:21:24what's going on.
00:21:25It's not like I'm like, oh, I miss my husband and that big dick of his.
00:21:30I think Miss Girl is a little oblivious.
00:21:33I mean, even the judges said, Carmen, we don't think that you're always all there with
00:21:37us.
00:21:37Carmen is so like, oh, are you talking to me?
00:21:42I miss your husband's big dick.
00:21:47Thank you, Carmen.
00:21:48Next up, Alexis Mateo.
00:21:49What is this, like judging process?
00:21:50I know, Barbara Walters, cool.
00:21:52Do you have anything else to say?
00:21:53Yes.
00:21:54Well, independent of whatever happens, I love my video.
00:21:58It was exactly what I wanted.
00:21:59Yeah, I think your video was cool.
00:22:00It was very me and it actually looks like a commercial.
00:22:02It's Alexis Mateo con sabor from Puerto Rico.
00:22:07This is the only land where you can grow up and become whoever you want to be.
00:22:11I'm a fucking drag queen.
00:22:16Bam, bam.
00:22:17Papi, I want you to come back home, baby.
00:22:21Celebrate life.
00:22:22Celebrate love.
00:22:23Celebrate freedom.
00:22:25Can you explain also mine?
00:22:27Because I don't remember.
00:22:28They said you was horrible and you're probably going to be the same.
00:22:31They raped you, girl.
00:22:39Jada Sofia.
00:22:40Is this a Puerto Rican snuggie?
00:22:43This is a national costume for dancing.
00:22:46It's called bomba.
00:22:48What is a snuggie?
00:22:49Do you know what a snuggie is?
00:22:51It's that blanket that has the arms in it and you put it on.
00:22:54You ever seen the commercials?
00:22:56How dirty?
00:22:57They called and said, do you have a Puerto Rican snuggie on?
00:22:59No, it's fine.
00:23:03It's fine.
00:23:03Michelle was having a comment about how disappointed she was about your little dress.
00:23:07America, let me be the Latina.
00:23:10I feel free, darling.
00:23:13Hits.
00:23:14And she actually told you to be careful not to go crazy.
00:23:18No, I don't think it was about crazy.
00:23:19I think she said like the loca.
00:23:21Well, loca's crazy.
00:23:22No, no, yeah.
00:23:23I loved your video.
00:23:24I thought it was sick.
00:23:26Carmen is from Jersey.
00:23:28She doesn't even speak Spanish clearly.
00:23:30I don't think she should be defined as a Puerto Rican.
00:23:33She didn't grow up in Puerto Rico.
00:23:35If you put her in the island, she probably would cry alone.
00:23:38Like, she don't know where she at.
00:23:40So, next up, Raja.
00:23:42Well, oh, God.
00:23:44You know, this is what I get for thinking too hard sometimes because it kind of showed on my PSA
00:23:47a little bit.
00:23:48I just wanted to do something that was different.
00:23:50I wanted to take some of my loca down and just be playful and pretty.
00:23:54I like being crazy.
00:23:55I know I'm hysterical and I know I'm a big pervert, but I'm also cute, I'm soft, I'm sweet, you
00:24:02know.
00:24:02I have no bad comments about it.
00:24:04But it's true that you look so serious, like I'm in my head.
00:24:07I know, I know.
00:24:08In your head.
00:24:08So, it's too much thinking.
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:11And that's my fault.
00:24:12You know, I'm an artist, so sometimes I overthink things.
00:24:15And today was one of those instances where I overshot it, like I overthought what I was doing.
00:24:20Rue is looking for someone with a combination of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
00:24:24Raja is fashionable.
00:24:26But once you get past the look, you might as well go to the bar and get a drink.
00:24:31Well, they really like my runway work, so I'm not really worried about that.
00:24:34Except Santino.
00:24:35Santino said that you would change your hair.
00:24:38I don't know what I think of you as a blonde.
00:24:40I just got to be honest, I can't stand you as a blonde girl.
00:24:43The blonde wig and the outfit, I saw Jessica Simpson.
00:24:46I wouldn't want to look like Jessica Simpson.
00:24:47An Asian beauty just looks better on you.
00:24:51I mean, I don't know what they want from me.
00:24:53I mean, do I just have to be just Asian all the time for them?
00:24:56I mean, I can still be Asian, but I don't have to be Asian all the time.
00:25:01Yeah.
00:25:02Sometimes I think that they just want me to be, like, the Asian person.
00:25:07And me to come out there with, like, chopsticks and fans all the time.
00:25:11I mean, I can buy a blonde wig, too.
00:25:14Honestly, like, I was kind of like, really?
00:25:18I can't wear blonde hair?
00:25:20But I think Manila, maybe, too, maybe they're not saying you can't wear blonde hair.
00:25:24It's just that particular blonde wig on you, they may not have loved it.
00:25:27So another wig that, like, maybe had a darker, like, her wig, maybe, may look better on you.
00:25:32I mean, when Johnny said I look like Jessica Simpson, I wanted to die because Jessica Simpson is, like, she
00:25:38has an ass on her chin.
00:25:39Does she?
00:25:40Yes!
00:25:41I think she's cute.
00:25:42She has cute shoes.
00:25:43I'll give her that.
00:25:44She has amazing shoes.
00:25:45That's kind of the look that I was going for.
00:25:47I was kind of going for that, like, blonde bombshell, like, oversex, big tits.
00:25:52I wanted to be, like, I'm sexy for the troops.
00:25:54You know, very Manila Monroe.
00:25:55That's what I was going for.
00:25:56But you weren't talking about sex, you were talking about eating.
00:26:01Bless her heart.
00:26:02In the South, that's what we say.
00:26:04When you can't say nothing else, you just say bless her heart.
00:26:07Well, bless her heart.
00:26:08Because that PSA was the fool.
00:26:11Next up, Shangela.
00:26:14They didn't like it.
00:26:15They didn't like the look, which I completely understand.
00:26:17I mean, the fit, I've lost five pounds since I've been here.
00:26:20That's no excuse.
00:26:21I was trying to mask it as best I could, but they clocked it.
00:26:24And every time I get in front of Santino with any costume, I mean, I may be standing there, you
00:26:29know, up and legs crossed, but he's, like, looking at me.
00:26:32He's, like, looking for every little piece, like, hemline, hmm, color.
00:26:37As I'm standing there, I'm watching Santino pick apart my outfit with his pupils.
00:26:41I mean, he was zoomed in, laser-focused.
00:26:44And I'm thinking, oh, he gonna read the hemline.
00:26:46I tried to change the undercolor to be patriotic.
00:26:49It's going down.
00:26:51Clocked.
00:26:53No tea.
00:26:54Clocked.
00:26:56Shangela's outfit tonight looked like shit.
00:26:58White with a big makeshift red lame belt thing that doesn't even fit her.
00:27:03What the fuck is that?
00:27:07Shangela took Alexis through to the gold bar.
00:27:15Come on, Shangela.
00:27:16Oh, so you want to close the door with me?
00:27:18Girl.
00:27:19Oh.
00:27:21Oh.
00:27:23Yeah, we have to breathe in for a second.
00:27:26I had to get you away from everybody because I didn't want you to have to go through this in
00:27:29front of everyone.
00:27:29But they really went in on you, getting the information on this guy that you used to be with.
00:27:35I didn't know it was so serious.
00:27:37Now, you told me in the workroom that you had a lover who went to war.
00:27:41Is this the jacket that was his?
00:27:43Yes, it's his jacket.
00:27:45He left me this as a memory.
00:27:47I'm very proud of it, and I'm carrying it with, like, a lot of respect for him and for all
00:27:52the troops that are out there.
00:27:54Now, if he were watching right now, what would you say to him?
00:27:58Oh, my gosh, if he was watching right now, I would have loved to say, I'm sorry, I was selfish,
00:28:05and that I miss him a lot, and inside my heart, I'm still waiting for you.
00:28:14What happened with him?
00:28:16It was a guy that I met that I had a great time meeting, and I'm very proud of him.
00:28:23I grew up out of that relationship.
00:28:25It was kind of difficult for me because I did care for him a lot.
00:28:28You know what I mean?
00:28:29It was a nice experience.
00:28:33Yeah?
00:28:33I can tell you, yes.
00:28:34He brought me a lot of nice moments, and that we—I don't know.
00:28:43I lost the love of my life just because in the military you cannot be openly gay, or you will
00:28:50lose all your benefits and your—and actually you can lose your whole entire.
00:28:58Let's get this.
00:29:03That point in my life was, like, abandoned.
00:29:07It was—I was angry.
00:29:09I was upset.
00:29:11I lost weight.
00:29:12My hair fell off.
00:29:13I was going crazy.
00:29:15He respect me enough to say, I don't want you to wait for me.
00:29:18I don't want you to, like, worry about me.
00:29:21But how can you explain that to the heart?
00:29:25Well, you send him the message, girl.
00:29:27He might get it over there in Iraq and send you a message in a bottle.
00:29:30She doesn't wear that on her sleeve a lot.
00:29:33So, it's nice to see the softer side of Alexis because she does have emotion, and she actually does have
00:29:39a really gentle heart.
00:29:45In the gold bar, Shangela and Alexis were discussing the other girls' patriotic PSAs.
00:29:50What'd you think about every—did you think everyone's video was accurately critiqued?
00:29:58Honestly, I don't know.
00:29:59Come on, girl.
00:30:00Just sneak.
00:30:00Because, like, I didn't like a lot of the videos.
00:30:03I didn't like Carmen's video.
00:30:05It sounds very serious, but at the same time, it was not.
00:30:08I think Carmen is gorgeous.
00:30:10I think Carmen is gorgeous, and the judges love that about her.
00:30:13And whoever did the body job on her thighs did a good job, and they should have been well paid.
00:30:18But two things.
00:30:19One, in the first runway competition, the main thing they told her was, we don't want you to rely on
00:30:25your body.
00:30:26You're hot.
00:30:27You know you're hot.
00:30:28Don't rely on body all the time.
00:30:31And out of the last seven runways, how many times has she only been all about body?
00:30:38Today even.
00:30:39But yet, I'm the only person that remembers that critique.
00:30:42You know what I mean?
00:30:43Girl.
00:30:44Carmen, same style, different day.
00:30:47Same thing, different color.
00:30:49She always get away with it because of her pretty body and her pretty face.
00:30:54I don't even think she was that beautiful.
00:30:56So it just baffles me a little bit.
00:30:58And then also, it's just like, girl, she's always talking about she's tired.
00:31:03She is.
00:31:03They made an accurate critique when they're like, stand up straight, Carmen, because she's always like,
00:31:07and this girl is in a two-inch heel.
00:31:10I'm standing over here in five inches.
00:31:12You're in a high heel.
00:31:13Everyone on that runway is in a high heel.
00:31:15She's in a two-inch heel.
00:31:16Now, I can understand that for Delta or Stacey.
00:31:18But other than that, you have no excuse to be in anything under the three unless you're doing a ballerina
00:31:23illusion.
00:31:23Exactly.
00:31:24I don't get it.
00:31:26I mean, I don't get it.
00:31:27But that's me.
00:31:29After I saw that video and I saw her pop up in that catsuit behind the Statue of Liberty, I
00:31:33said,
00:31:33ooh, this is the fool.
00:31:34And then it continued to justify, this is the fool.
00:31:40Back in the lounge, Jara was discussing Shangela.
00:31:44I asked for help to Shangela.
00:31:46And some kind of weird thing, I guess, that she said some shady thing.
00:31:52Really?
00:31:53Yes.
00:31:53Did you?
00:31:54Yes.
00:31:55No.
00:31:55Shangela?
00:31:56Yes.
00:31:58I'm going to be naked.
00:31:59Do you like the idea?
00:32:00I'm going to be naked.
00:32:01Yeah, but baby, you got to let me right.
00:32:03Ah, you got to let me right.
00:32:06It wasn't no big deal.
00:32:09But darling, I don't like to get that from people that I help.
00:32:13I'm not expecting nothing from anyone.
00:32:15Right.
00:32:16Do you know what I mean?
00:32:17Yes.
00:32:17But sometimes...
00:32:18I do know what you mean.
00:32:19Sometimes I feel stupid.
00:32:22Because I help too many people and sometimes I don't get the same.
00:32:25And that changed my mind at all.
00:32:27Because I'm so fucking stupid.
00:32:29I'm helping people.
00:32:31And when I want help...
00:32:33You can, you know, you can ask me anytime for help.
00:32:37No, I know, I know, but that, that sucks.
00:32:39She wants people to help her, but when it's time for her to help someone else look better,
00:32:44she's like, oh, no, girl, because maybe she doesn't think she's that sickening.
00:33:18Yeah.
00:33:19You know, when you guys are here, you can see what I look like.
00:33:21But for video is what I'm still working on.
00:33:22Well, you know, Carmen, we are being taped right now.
00:33:25The whole show is being taped.
00:33:27I mean, isn't she a celebrity makeup artist?
00:33:31I don't even know what to believe about Carmen.
00:33:33I mean, she's Jennifer Lopez's best friend.
00:33:36She's a photographer.
00:33:37She's a makeup artist.
00:33:39So she should be collecting good 401k checks, because Miss Girl don't retire from three jobs already.
00:33:44It's one of the people here that I believe is fake.
00:33:48I mean, I don't know who she is.
00:33:50I don't know the real Carmen.
00:33:52She doesn't want us to know who she is, though.
00:33:54Well, but she put a lot of things personally out there.
00:33:56I mean, we don't want to talk about how happy your love life is just because your husband has a
00:34:01big penis.
00:34:02Like, I don't want to know that.
00:34:03If you don't want to show who you are for real, I don't want to have pieces of the parcel
00:34:07and put together to get to know Carmen Carrera.
00:34:12Okay, so question, though.
00:34:14How about when the judges said, Manila, you look beautiful as a beautiful Asian.
00:34:20You know what I mean?
00:34:21And she was offended by that.
00:34:22Just in the interior illusions lounge, she just said, I'm offended.
00:34:25Why do I have to be Asian all the time?
00:34:28But isn't she always going over-the-top Asian?
00:34:31And all of a sudden, she doesn't want to do Asian?
00:34:33She goes like, what do they want me to wear, like fans and chapstick all the time?
00:34:37Bitch, yes, that's what you assert from the beginning on the competition.
00:34:40Exactly.
00:34:41Chapsticks and fans.
00:34:42Girl, when we had to do the cakes that represented ourselves, here's the cake.
00:34:47Here's what represents you.
00:34:48Exactly.
00:34:49She could have done anything.
00:34:50She's entertaining.
00:34:51She's fun.
00:34:52She's great at making costumes.
00:34:53And what does she do?
00:34:55Chapstick and fans.
00:34:55And then when they say, where's the chopsticks and fans, she's all of a sudden offended.
00:34:59Offended, yeah.
00:35:00It's like, they could say to me on the runway, where's La Cuefa?
00:35:03But I don't come to the stage for the past seven runways and do La Cuefa.
00:35:07Exactly.
00:35:07So they're not looking for that.
00:35:09They look for who Shangela is.
00:35:10Not the character of La Cuefa.
00:35:13Because I could say, they say La Cuefa.
00:35:15I say what?
00:35:16No, but it's like, yeah, it is.
00:35:18Like, they need to understand it's a part of a character.
00:35:20And right now, with Manila, I have said it several times.
00:35:23With Manila, I'm confused.
00:35:24I don't even know if she's Philippines, Japanese, Chinese.
00:35:27I don't even know where she comes from at this point.
00:35:29All I know about...
00:35:30Minneapolis.
00:35:35I'm just confused as well as the judges.
00:35:37Because that's what she's gotten them accustomed to.
00:35:39Exactly.
00:35:39She told them she was the Asian party girl about town.
00:35:42I mean, she should just be expecting that.
00:35:45Since the beginning, even when we went to the thrifty shop for the first challenge,
00:35:49she's wearing sushi earrings.
00:35:51Yep.
00:35:52Even the challenge with the pineapple dress, it was Japanese.
00:35:57Are pineapples Japanese?
00:35:59I mean, I don't think there are any more ways that Manila can offend the Asian culture.
00:36:05I think this girl is running out of ways.
00:36:07I mean, even in a message to the truth.
00:36:10America is an all-you-can-eat buffet of diversity.
00:36:13Turkey breasts.
00:36:16Mexicans.
00:36:17Chinese.
00:36:20The whole was holding a dog.
00:36:22You know, and I love Chinese food.
00:36:25Don't be getting on TV telling the folks it's made a dog.
00:36:27It's the whole thing about it.
00:36:29She never celebrates Asian culture.
00:36:31That's my only problem with Manila.
00:36:32I say, girl, do your parodies.
00:36:34Be Mumba High.
00:36:35Be Filipino.
00:36:36Do all that.
00:36:37But there has to be a balance.
00:36:39You know what I mean?
00:36:40Look at you and Yara.
00:36:42Y'all do cha-cha diva and some of the fun stereotypes.
00:36:45But at the same time, she's out there in the religious custom.
00:36:48You talk about the history of Puerto Rico.
00:36:49All of that.
00:36:51I haven't gotten any of that from Manila.
00:36:53And that should be key.
00:36:55That should be key if she's going to be a responsible spokesperson.
00:36:58What do you think about Alexis?
00:37:00Well, it's always my policy.
00:37:02When I'm in drag, I do not wear men's clothing.
00:37:06She looks a little manly.
00:37:08I mean, I just never wear men's clothing when I'm trying to portray a feminine.
00:37:13Because a man's shirt, a man's suit jacket is tailored for a man's body.
00:37:18Right.
00:37:18I'm like, really?
00:37:19Oh, God.
00:37:20This is so big and manly.
00:37:24Like Raja's video.
00:37:25He's trying to change his character from the cuckoo Raja to serious Raja.
00:37:32She has never been serious.
00:37:33She's serious when she cussing me out.
00:37:36To send a message to the troops from the heart.
00:37:39But it has to be entertaining.
00:37:41That was the key point.
00:37:42Her video for me bore me to death.
00:37:45First of all, this eye was kind of crooked.
00:37:47And it was freaking me out.
00:37:49I'm Raja, and I'm proud to be an American.
00:37:53I love you all.
00:37:54I love you.
00:37:55I love you.
00:37:55I love you.
00:37:57I cannot talk about how Raja is or not.
00:37:59Because he has never given me the opportunity to meet him.
00:38:02He has always been very distant with me.
00:38:03All that I know about Raja is good morning, good morning.
00:38:07Crisscross each other.
00:38:09And go.
00:38:10Here's my thing.
00:38:11Raja was all supportive of me.
00:38:14And she said this.
00:38:15She was texting me, girl, I want to do a photo shoot with you.
00:38:18I want to do your makeup.
00:38:18And then all of a sudden it was, Shangela is starting to shine.
00:38:22Because I was on last year.
00:38:24And I'm doing all these shows and winning pageant stuff.
00:38:26And then it was like, eh.
00:38:29Do you think that she doesn't see you as competition yet?
00:38:32So she's not coming for you?
00:38:34Because do you remember when the read challenge, when she just looked at you and said, who cares?
00:38:36And kept moving?
00:38:39Fat.
00:38:41Who cares?
00:38:44Well, she probably don't see me as a competition.
00:38:46But you know what?
00:38:47Everybody in the competition is competition.
00:38:49That's true.
00:38:49So the joke's on her.
00:38:50I mean, if I balance my video against his video, he should wake up and know that I am competition.
00:38:56Right.
00:38:56My video was ten times better than his.
00:39:02All right.
00:39:04The girls headed down to the main stage to find out their fates.
00:39:08Alexis won the PSA challenge, while Carmen and Jara fell into the bottom two and had to lip sync for
00:39:16their lives.
00:39:17Carmen got to stay.
00:39:19And in a surprise twist, Jara Sofia, shantay you stay.
00:39:27What?
00:39:30For the first time in drag race history, no one is going home tonight.
00:39:46I'm in shock.
00:39:49I have so much to bring to this competition.
00:39:53This is not the end of Jara.
00:39:55This is the middle of the journey.
00:39:57And I'm going to the final.
00:40:00I'm not one to knock anyone for getting a second chance.
00:40:04Okay?
00:40:05I always appreciate the godly hand of Ruth touching and agreeing.
00:40:10Hallelujah.
00:40:12Well, well, well.
00:40:14Zero dolls down and still five to go before RuPaul's Drag Race as a winner.
00:40:21This week, the girls recorded their versions of my new song, Superstar, in a range of musical styles.
00:40:27And lip sync their hits and misses on the main stage.
00:40:33What you didn't see is that during the judges' critiques, the dolls were asked that dreaded question.
00:40:39Ladies, who should go home tonight and why?
00:40:48Raja.
00:40:50Oh, man.
00:40:51I fucking hate this question.
00:40:53You know what?
00:40:54I would say Shangela.
00:40:58Only because, you know what?
00:41:00Clearly, if you go down the line, you can tell which genre of music everyone is for the most part.
00:41:04And then, you know, it just kind of gets lost as far as her look.
00:41:07Carmen, same question.
00:41:09I have to agree with Raja because I feel that there's always a look issue.
00:41:16You need to look the part if you're going to be a drag superstar.
00:41:21Pajara Sofia.
00:41:22I would say Carmen because sometimes she looks like she's on vacation.
00:41:26Shangela.
00:41:27I honestly feel it would be Carmen Carrera.
00:41:29Where look is definitely important, you have to be able to perform.
00:41:33Alexis Mateo.
00:41:34I'm going to pick Carmen Carrera as well.
00:41:36And I think she's just resting and pretty.
00:41:39The girls retired to the interior illusions lounge, where the atmosphere was tense.
00:42:23What a fun challenge.
00:42:29Who knew it would be so hard to lip-sync my own goddamn song?
00:42:37Okay, work.
00:42:40How did you hear my performance?
00:42:42Just from the back when I was, like, standing out there.
00:42:48I know that Shangela isn't a vocalist, but there were certain elements of it that didn't feel very country to
00:42:52me because I am a country fan.
00:42:54And it could have used a little bit more of that, you know, country-ness.
00:42:59Well, it's because I went on last, so I got to hear the recording before I went on.
00:43:03And you thought that's why I should have gone home?
00:43:04No, not at all.
00:43:05I actually, I mean, I knew your vocal abilities, because I hear you singing all the time.
00:43:12But, you know what?
00:43:13It was just the look.
00:43:14I mean, if I were to style this, I would keep the top, keep the hair, but I would just
00:43:18put, like, a really chic skinny jean with a cowboy boot on top.
00:43:21But it was based, Shangela, it was based just on this challenge, and I want you to know that.
00:43:25Yeah, the judges just didn't read country off me.
00:43:28And I tried to country it up with the hat and the buckle, you know, but there's only so much
00:43:33you can do, and everyone's going to have their own opinion on it.
00:43:35The same way, you know, I think your look is 100% disco down.
00:43:41But I wouldn't think you would strip hop.
00:43:48No, they didn't call me a stripper.
00:43:49They called me a hooker.
00:43:52It's two different things.
00:43:54This outfit does not say hip-hop to me at all.
00:43:57What did it read to you?
00:43:58Stripper.
00:44:00It reads, hooker, hoe.
00:44:02It's a little jersey shoe or two.
00:44:04Fuck that coochie, baby.
00:44:06I'll say it.
00:44:10I don't think a hooker looks like me.
00:44:12And if they look, they're fierce.
00:44:15Hell yeah, honey.
00:44:16I don't know.
00:44:17But I was shocked to hear, Carmen, I gotta be honest, you just say that I hadn't had any growth
00:44:20in the
00:44:21competition at all.
00:44:22Like, that was a huge shock.
00:44:24With Shangela, there's always a look issue.
00:44:28You need to look the part.
00:44:30If you're gonna be a drag superstar when I just think that it needs to be better and I really
00:44:35haven't seen it get any better.
00:44:38They asked me my opinion and that's what I told them.
00:44:41I've watched you from day one.
00:44:43I've watched you last season.
00:44:44And girl, you gonna say that my face hadn't grown from last season to this season?
00:44:48You didn't let me finish my sentence?
00:44:50Okay, I'll let you finish.
00:44:52I don't want to fight with you.
00:44:53I don't want to fight with you.
00:44:54I don't want to fight with you either, but you need to let me finish my sentences if you
00:44:56don't want to fight with me because I'm trying to get it out and you keep cutting me off.
00:44:58My apologies.
00:44:59Go for it.
00:44:59Okay, so the thing is that it's more than just the face.
00:45:03Your wig looks like a wig.
00:45:05The outfit is like rough around the edges.
00:45:07And I think that those things are more important overall.
00:45:10If you're gonna be the next drag superstar, then have the whole thing.
00:45:14You know what I mean?
00:45:14I've grown and the judges have seen me grow and have told me that I've grown.
00:45:18You know what I'm saying?
00:45:19They caught you on your posture last week and you still stood up like a dude tonight.
00:45:23But I didn't call you out because it wasn't necessary.
00:45:25Last week was the only time that they haven't had anything negative to say for a long time.
00:45:30Okay?
00:45:31Last week was the only time.
00:45:32And it doesn't matter.
00:45:34It doesn't matter.
00:45:35They've never read me like they've read you.
00:45:41I've never had to have anything said to me about my makeup, about my hair, about my outfit.
00:45:48Never.
00:45:49I came to this competition as Carmen Carrera and they've never had to tell me shit.
00:45:53Carmen felt she had never received not one negative comment or critique this entire competition.
00:45:59That tells you Miss Girl wasn't about female illusion.
00:46:01She was about female delusion.
00:46:09And they have criticized you.
00:46:10They said, Carmen, don't rely on body.
00:46:12Carmen, sometimes you don't have to do that.
00:46:15Carmen, your posture, you don't enunciate, you look lost.
00:46:18Your outfit today is poorly conceived and poorly designed.
00:46:22Stop relying on that body.
00:46:25Hair and the makeup felt kind of flat for me yesterday.
00:46:27You're standing there like you could really give two shits.
00:46:30That to me is a criticism.
00:46:32Well, I'm sorry that I don't stand there and look nervous.
00:46:35I'm like, oh my God, in everybody's business, no one else here can do what I do.
00:46:42Whatever it is that y'all want to say.
00:46:43And what it is that you do, that's what I want to say.
00:46:45Baby, please, if you haven't seen it, then you can catch it on logo.
00:46:47She looks fickening and she pooches.
00:46:48You know, everybody's got their own thing.
00:46:50Everyone's got their own little genre of what they do.
00:46:52You're obviously here because you've got a great amount of talent and it may not necessarily be the looks.
00:46:56You know what I mean?
00:46:58You're smart, you're funny, you can sing well, but your look is kind of deficient in some ways.
00:47:03And maybe vice versa for her, you know, she's got tons of look and maybe she's not the same personality
00:47:07as you.
00:47:08But everybody's got their differences.
00:47:09I've been doing this for at the very least 10 years more than you have.
00:47:12And I've seen things more than you have.
00:47:14You know, and I have a different understanding.
00:47:16It doesn't make me better, it doesn't make me worse.
00:47:17It just means that I have a different understanding.
00:47:19Simple as that.
00:47:27You know, and I don't, I don't, I don't know.
00:47:34Raja resents me being in this competition.
00:47:36She feels like she's been doing this for 20 years and I've only been doing drag for one year.
00:47:42And I'm competition for her.
00:47:44She recognizes that.
00:47:47It's, it's tough.
00:47:48There's six of us left and you know what?
00:47:50It's, people are going to have to start going home.
00:47:52And that question was directed to us just so that Rue can have a glimpse of what our lives look
00:47:56like outside.
00:47:57Because Rue doesn't see us every day, you know?
00:47:59Before talking, we have to listen.
00:48:01And that's all.
00:48:02We ask you, we answer a question.
00:48:04That's it.
00:48:04Yeah.
00:48:05For me, being pretty, being beautiful comes very easy to me.
00:48:09But that doesn't mean that I didn't work to get to where it's at.
00:48:13I take it to the heart when people say, oh girl, but it's so easy for you.
00:48:16No, it's not easy for me.
00:48:17I still have to shave my ass cheeks.
00:48:19I still have to go through the whole process of staying away from razor bumps, taking care of my skin.
00:48:23There's a lot of work that goes into it.
00:48:24I think you create excuses and I think you rely on, I'm pretty.
00:48:28And guess what?
00:48:29In my personal view, you're the weakest one for me.
00:48:32Because everybody else, looks, are fierce.
00:48:36Personality, fierce.
00:48:37But challenge, they're fierce as well.
00:48:40And I think you haven't gone home yet because they think you're so cute, girl.
00:48:45And you think you are cute.
00:48:46That's the fuck the fuck.
00:48:47Maybe they need something to look at.
00:48:49I've never heard any of the judges say, you're getting away with something.
00:48:53You just get away with it because you're pretty and it's in the Bible, girl.
00:48:57I guess it's in the Bible, I mean.
00:48:57No, Carmen Carrera is a book of the Bible, girl.
00:49:00And you are so blessed that you're so pretty.
00:49:02I don't care how much fucking talent that you have.
00:49:04You can learn how to sing.
00:49:05You can learn how to dance.
00:49:06You can learn how to fucking cartwheel.
00:49:07But you can't learn how to be pretty.
00:49:09I don't think you are that pretty.
00:49:13I think your mind makes it so pretty because I think everybody else is prettier than you.
00:49:19Naturally.
00:49:21Well, that's your opinion.
00:49:23Like, that's what you think.
00:49:25I mean, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of things that I think about y'all that y'all wouldn't
00:49:28agree with.
00:49:28Well, tell us.
00:49:29But that's my business.
00:49:30I'm ours.
00:49:30Oh, okay.
00:49:33It is your business.
00:49:35It is your business.
00:49:36Why do we have to, like, tell each other every day the things that we dislike about each other?
00:49:39I think kindness is important, you know?
00:49:42I wouldn't go up to just every single one of you and just be like,
00:49:45I don't like you because you look like this.
00:49:47Or I don't like you because you act this.
00:49:48Why would I do that?
00:49:49I mean, that's a paradigm shift because not too long ago in this very room,
00:49:52kindness wasn't the top thing on everyone's priority list.
00:49:55There are two people who I think are weak.
00:49:57Stacey and Shangela.
00:49:58Get the fuck out.
00:49:59But that's because there was a...
00:50:00But I like that we've grown and that we're here in this place now.
00:50:07How did that argument come about?
00:50:09It was because it was brought up on the main stage.
00:50:11I would never just say, I think you're deficient in this area because...
00:50:15Because I don't have time.
00:50:16Like I said, my only big competition here is me.
00:50:19I want each of you to know that if I say anything but have any of you behind closed doors,
00:50:23know that I'm that much of a person that I could say it right here.
00:50:26And what we're doing right now?
00:50:27Keeping it real.
00:50:28Keeping it real.
00:50:29She loves to bring up the keeping it real thing.
00:50:33Whatever.
00:50:34It's boring.
00:50:37With everyone's feathers a little ruffled,
00:50:40Alexis took Shangela and Jara through to the gold bar to cool off.
00:50:44Boogers.
00:50:47I'm glad you said the truth.
00:50:50I'm over this situation.
00:50:52I'm so over it.
00:50:53They tell her, her performance.
00:50:54Your performance was horrible.
00:50:56How do you block the negative comments from the judges?
00:50:59Because she actually told me that she didn't hurt that section.
00:51:03I mean, they told her your performance lack of performance.
00:51:07There were some problems in the lip sync.
00:51:09It was a little off.
00:51:10I lost it on the performance.
00:51:11The performance wasn't really impressive.
00:51:14She didn't hurt that.
00:51:15That's how she feared.
00:51:17Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:51:17That's how she feared.
00:51:18One of the first episodes, they told her, like, give me body, but give me some brain.
00:51:25And she didn't get it.
00:51:26Well, she doesn't have any, honey.
00:51:27It's something when you can't give something that you don't have.
00:51:30She really believes that she is that fucking beautiful.
00:51:33Girl.
00:51:34She really does, though.
00:51:35That's the sickening piece of it.
00:51:36You are not going to tell that girl that she is not J-Lo reincarnate times 20.
00:51:40And she had the nerve to tell those judges, I'm hearing you.
00:51:44I'm listening.
00:51:45I thank you.
00:51:45She doesn't hear only the good things.
00:51:47Her mind has a filter.
00:51:48And that filter just filters out.
00:51:50It's like a water filter.
00:51:51She has the purifier of the brain, which she only gets the good stuff in her brain.
00:51:55And all the negative or the things that are there to make her better, she filters out.
00:52:00And she said she has grown, doesn't need to grow.
00:52:02Yet they told her last time, you're posturing, you look lost.
00:52:05And what does she give today on stage?
00:52:06It was like this.
00:52:09Lost.
00:52:10Wish I was a yellow bird.
00:52:12Hey, guys.
00:52:16Wish I was a yellow bird.
00:52:19I'll fly.
00:52:19No, but she's too pretty.
00:52:20But she's the pretty one.
00:52:21She's the pretty one.
00:52:22But, you know, when you're naturally pretty, that's one thing.
00:52:24You naturally have body, that's one thing.
00:52:27But that's all I'm going to say.
00:52:28No, but she does.
00:52:29When you're naturally.
00:52:30No, but she got everything.
00:52:31Until somebody comes to me with the autopsy report that says that there is 0% silicone or
00:52:38extra body additives in this portion, then shall I believe it.
00:52:42But until then, Your Honor, I stand and say I object.
00:52:45The only thing that Carmen got natural is that Wish knows.
00:52:48That's all.
00:52:50That ain't right.
00:52:51Up and on.
00:52:51That's all that knows.
00:52:52That's all about it.
00:52:54Girl, are you okay?
00:52:55I'm fine.
00:52:56You sounded fine.
00:52:58You sounded like you were on top of it.
00:52:59You were like, sorry about it.
00:53:00Sorry, I'm pretty.
00:53:02And sorry, you have to cover your beard.
00:53:05You know what?
00:53:06Listen, everybody always underestimates the pretty girl.
00:53:09Every fucking year, they underestimate the pretty girl.
00:53:11Just like they gagged at the comedy challenge.
00:53:13And they thought that I was going to get red because they're waiting for me to go.
00:53:16And it's like, bitch, keep making me famous.
00:53:18Because all y'all doing is talking about me.
00:53:20Honey, keep making me famous.
00:53:22You're the only one that they can think that they can come for.
00:53:25Yeah, because the excuse is that, you know, oh, Carmen is really pretty.
00:53:27Oh, because she's the pretty one.
00:53:28But guess what, honey?
00:53:29We're Heathers.
00:53:30We're all pretty ones.
00:53:33Even if I'm standing like a man, they still look like a booger.
00:53:36And they don't say that they're beautiful.
00:53:37They say that I'm beautiful.
00:53:38And I'm sorry, they can't take it because they don't get the beautiful read.
00:53:42I do.
00:53:42And I can assure you right now, the three of them are off in the other room talking about
00:53:45the most petty things.
00:53:46I know it already.
00:53:47I know it.
00:53:48Raj is all about the look as well.
00:53:50So he cannot defend our performance point of view because it's all about a modeling contract.
00:53:55Hey, hey, Ronk helped you to be a man, a boy, a kid, a prop kid.
00:54:01That's it.
00:54:01A man.
00:54:02A man.
00:54:03It's so hard.
00:54:04It's so easy to be in boots, flat boots, by the way.
00:54:07And tore tight.
00:54:08And perform.
00:54:09Nobody.
00:54:09Nobody showing your fucking belly like a man.
00:54:15I think it's a little hypocritical.
00:54:17They really know how to find the attacks for us.
00:54:19But, you know, the reason why I'm always saying, like, I'm older, I'm older, it's what I'm
00:54:22trying to say is that I'm more mature.
00:54:24You know, I have a maturity level that they don't understand.
00:54:28You know, I'm not an old guy.
00:54:29I'm just, you know, I've been around and I've seen a lot of things and I'm noticing a maturity
00:54:33level that's about, like, a toddler.
00:54:35And I can't deal with that.
00:54:36I really cannot deal with it.
00:54:39Changela is like her drag.
00:54:41It's just very immature.
00:54:42It's not saying that I'm better than anything, but I've paid my dues.
00:54:45I've been doing this for a long time.
00:54:47And Changela really likes to let me know, like, oh, well, you've been doing it for almost
00:54:5020 years.
00:54:51And then what are you doing here?
00:54:53It's almost like a really annoying chihuahua.
00:54:55Although sweet and cute and makes a great companion, it's just really fucking annoying.
00:54:59I have a different understanding of life and a different understanding of art than
00:55:04Changela.
00:55:06I was shocked to hear Changela's, like, um, Changela's criticisms because I thought she
00:55:11was going to do fantastic.
00:55:13You know, she was, like, to herself and she was singing so loudly and she was practicing.
00:55:17She was up in there.
00:55:20I don't know what the fuck they do, but she was drinking tea and getting it all together.
00:55:33I think she was trying to intimidate us with her amazing voice, but they didn't really
00:55:37like her performance all that much.
00:55:38And it just turned out to be, like, another, like, lackluster.
00:55:41I can see the wig line kind of performance.
00:55:45Girl, her wig.
00:55:47Her wig looks so bad.
00:55:48It was crunch and munch.
00:55:50I mean, at least I have my pubes here that look like mine.
00:55:53My hair.
00:55:54At least I can stand like a man and I can still look like a woman.
00:55:57I don't know about those other hard bitches.
00:55:59With their muscular bodies.
00:56:03Like, what was she thinking to wear that outfit for country realness?
00:56:06Like, it just didn't work.
00:56:08I mean, it's not even, like, did you see the shoulder area?
00:56:11Yeah, it was all, like, you need to take that under and sew a seam around it.
00:56:14If you can't do it, then glue it.
00:56:15You know, and if you don't see that that's a problem, then you shouldn't be wearing the
00:56:20women's clothes.
00:56:21You should just fucking stay in your t-shirt and tank top and your scrubby jeans and never
00:56:25put fashion on.
00:56:25If you don't see those little details like that, then what sort of aesthetic do you have?
00:56:30In the gold bar, Shangela was reflecting on her critiques.
00:56:34I definitely took a risk.
00:56:35I know that.
00:56:36So I'm not, I'm not upset about the judge's critique.
00:56:39You did a great job.
00:56:40Thank you for that.
00:56:41No, you did a great job.
00:56:43But tonight, you could be, you could look much better than that.
00:56:46More country.
00:56:47I know.
00:56:48More country.
00:56:48No, I'm not saying that country.
00:56:50For example, your dress looks...
00:56:54I tried to fold it and tuck in tape.
00:56:56There's not much I can do about that.
00:56:57No, but I have to be sincere.
00:56:59You know what?
00:56:59Yeah.
00:56:59Oh, no, I hear you 100%.
00:57:01It's the same way I could say, like, you could have put some titties in that bra and not
00:57:04let it fold in the front.
00:57:08Tanya is trying to read me.
00:57:10What the hell has happened to you?
00:57:11Shh.
00:57:13You know, I love Alexis.
00:57:14I think she's really, really cute.
00:57:16She just has padded too much.
00:57:18It just makes her look so big and old.
00:57:19I think that India loves some of her stuff, and she's getting on that tacky, tacky tacky.
00:57:24It's tacky.
00:57:25It's tacky.
00:57:27My performance was fierce.
00:57:28My sound was great.
00:57:30Your sound was fantastic.
00:57:31My originality is there.
00:57:31My personality is there.
00:57:32And my costume looks like a hip-hop costume.
00:57:35It doesn't look like a hooker.
00:57:41Yes, I got my titties showing, but as well, Lil' Kim, Nicki Minaj, and all the singers
00:57:46that go to the MTV and all the Grammy Awards and show their bodice.
00:57:50It's a gimmick.
00:57:51It's a look.
00:57:55Well, let me ask you this, though.
00:57:57Manila's, the way that she picked the order was all just based on the way we were standing
00:58:01in the line.
00:58:02Do you guys agree, or do you think it was part of her strategy, or that she planned that?
00:58:07I think it's bullshit.
00:58:09They're trying to say that you're trying to sabotage me because I have two options instead
00:58:12of four, and I should have been called after this bitch.
00:58:15You know what, honey?
00:58:15It's not shade.
00:58:17I'm not strategizing besides myself.
00:58:20Manila didn't just go down the line and randomly choose who can choose their genres.
00:58:24You tell that to Carmen.
00:58:25Let her believe that.
00:58:26Now, here's the thing, though.
00:58:28I'm not actually upset that I got country because I set that up.
00:58:37When the pit crew starts rolling the CDs in, I know that I'm going to be chosen last, and
00:58:42I know these girls are going to try to give me what they think is the worst genre on the
00:58:47table.
00:58:47I see the genres, and I don't want reggae.
00:58:50Out of all of them, don't give me reggae.
00:58:52So I start whispering to Carmen, who's standing next to me, can I have that heel on the reggae?
00:58:58I love reggae music.
00:59:02So when the last two come up, it's only country and reggae left.
00:59:05I really like reggae, so I'm going to go with reggae.
00:59:08Okay.
00:59:09I played that very well.
00:59:10I played it well.
00:59:11And you gave the countryest bitch in the group the country genre.
00:59:17All right, darling.
00:59:17Let's go see what's going on downstairs.
00:59:19Let's go.
00:59:20The girls returned to the main stage to find out their fates.
00:59:24Raja won the RuPaulapalooza Challenge, while Shangela and Carmen fell into the bottom two
00:59:32and had to lip sync for their lives.
00:59:36Shangela was declared safe, while Carmen Carrera sashayed away.
00:59:47I'm not disappointed.
00:59:48I'm happy that I made it this far.
00:59:49And I think I've made it farther than a lot of people have thought I would have made it.
00:59:53But I really miss my husband.
00:59:55I miss being at home.
00:59:56I miss my family.
00:59:57You know, I don't think that I'm better than anyone.
01:00:00I'm not really that person.
01:00:02But I would have liked to get sent home by somebody better than Shangela.
01:00:09Heather's going to win anyway, so.
01:00:13One doll down and four to go before RuPaul's Drag Race has a winner!
01:00:19Well, yeah!
01:00:19Ha ha ha!
