Short filmTranscript
00:07Sherry Pye, Jada Essence Hall, The Widow Von Dube, you will live to tell.
00:16You're safe.
00:18You may leave the stage.
00:23Bitch, I'm safe.
00:24And I'm glad about it.
00:26You always strive to be the winner or to be the best, but choreography is not my strong
00:31soup, so I am really proud of what I've done.
00:34Bitch, she did something right.
00:38In my personal opinion, I feel like I was one person away from being in the top three.
00:44So I'm riding on high spirits, but I am over being safe.
00:57And speeding.
00:59Marker.
01:00All cameras up.
01:02Queens walking.
01:02Queens are walking.
01:05Yes, bitch.
01:07It's a holiday.
01:09It is a holiday.
01:11Holiday.
01:12I'm going to take my shoes off.
01:15Okay, so look.
01:16I'm just glad because at rehearsal, I was nervous, honey.
01:20I have never wanted to be safe.
01:23So bad.
01:24So badly.
01:25I'm not no singer, bitch, and I struggle with choreography.
01:27And bitch, then we just last week just had got past the motherfucking snatch game.
01:31Girl, these are two of the challenges that are the most difficult on the show.
01:35Girl.
01:35I know last week you had an issue with some of the girls who had a lot to say about
01:40the
01:41snatch name and not going well.
01:44This is a challenge that we all had the most time to prepare for.
01:49We have known that this is coming.
01:51Be prepared for it.
01:52But sometimes in the fucking moment, you can't be prepared.
01:56What are you thinking about right now?
01:58I mean, I'm safe.
01:59It happened last week.
02:01I'm not going to kick Jackie while she's down as much as I would like to, but I'm not wearing
02:04my shit kickers.
02:05Oh my god.
02:06Hi, bitch.
02:10Widow was really upset last week because she feels like Jackie and I were attacking everybody
02:15about not being prepared for snatch game.
02:17She was mad, so she felt she needed to go on the rampage and come after us.
02:22Me saying that I'm sorry for what I said and the way I said it, that means nothing to you.
02:25You're like, well, then screw you.
02:26I hope you follow the next challenge.
02:27This ain't RuPaul's best friend raised at the end of the goddamn day.
02:30It's me, myself, and I.
02:33Do you feel any remorse for saying you, like, hope that we fall?
02:43How I meant it was, I hope that you feel the same, like, way that you made me feel when
02:48you came into the room.
02:49Like, I was already beating myself up.
02:51Yeah.
02:52And I'm like, well, fuck it.
02:53I can be the widow of all different Kansas City that just doesn't talk to people.
02:59Right now, I'm super defensive because I allowed myself to have feelings here, and thank you
03:04for reminding me that I don't need them in this competition.
03:09Allow me to reintroduce myself.
03:11I am the widow of all dude, that bitch from Kansas City.
03:15If that's what you want, that's what you're going to get.
03:17I will be kosher with these bitches when needs be.
03:21Other than that, we ain't gots to be friends.
03:24You were safe, right?
03:25Last week.
03:26So, if you were feeling down on your performance, that's you feeling down on your performance.
03:34That's you.
03:35That's you.
03:36At the end of the day, you were safe.
03:38But I think Jackie's comment was more towards the girls who were in the bottom.
03:43Child, uh-uh.
03:44The main thing was, was somebody was trying to, like, lecture you.
03:47It was more like a, well, why weren't you bitches prepared?
03:50And why were you not ready?
03:52I mean, I wouldn't say it, because, bitch, I've been in the bottom that one time, bitch.
03:56But it's like, if you can give it out to somebody, don't be surprised if somebody gave it back to
03:59you.
04:03Okay.
04:04Do you feel, I mean, because I was part of that group, do you feel any feelings towards you?
04:16I mean, I'm not going to lie.
04:17I did think about it.
04:18I did think about saying, well, girl, did you prepare for the dance challenge?
04:21But if we're going to be cool, then just don't kick a bitch in the balls when they're already sore.
04:25Nope.
04:27Like, I don't like to throw stones at glass houses.
04:36How are you feeling being just safe in a dancing challenge?
04:43It's kind of, I was hoping for more.
04:47At least one of the top three.
04:48Mm-hmm.
04:48Like, because dancing is pretty much all I do, so I really wanted it.
04:52But I take my gifts as I get them, so.
04:55Girl.
04:58Well, thank you, ladies.
04:59I think we've heard enough.
05:00While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will be voguing.
05:05You may leave the stage.
05:13Yoo-hoo.
05:14Yoo-hoo.
05:15Yay!
05:16I love it.
05:17Yoo-hoo.
05:17Oh, I did like it.
05:19How you feeling, bitch?
05:21Finally in the top, everybody.
05:23Work.
05:23So, what's happening?
05:26What's tea?
05:27I see a smile.
05:29I'm very excited.
05:30Just because.
05:32Just because.
05:34Y'all know, she has been trying to get in the top.
05:38She's been trying to get critiqued.
05:40And they had all great things to say.
05:43So, what happened?
05:46They said that they liked everything about my look except to the earrings.
05:50But they said they could tell that I fucked up on my choreography.
05:53Which I did.
05:54And I got in my head again.
05:55And it's just, I'm having a hard time.
06:02Bitch.
06:03It's just hard because I bring so many people joy.
06:06But, like, I'm not happy inside.
06:08It just sucks being in the bottom so many times.
06:11I just keep on, like, failing.
06:14Which sucks.
06:15Britta, let me say this.
06:17They don't think you're a failure.
06:18They said how hard it was to judge this.
06:19Yeah, you're not failing.
06:21Do you know how hard it is to fuck up choreography and still make all of them out there feel
06:27good inside?
06:27Your energy is something that you have and no one can ever take that away from you, B.
06:34It's so sad to see your friend, who you care about and who you believe in, have so many doubts.
06:41But I know Britta, she's not a quitter.
06:44She is going to fight.
06:45And I know Britta is going to be able to rebound from this.
06:47I have no doubts.
06:48Heidi, I was very surprised.
06:51Very surprised.
06:51What critiques did you give?
06:52It's just, you know, more of the same.
06:54It's the look.
06:55But it was nitpicky.
06:57Very nitpicky.
06:58It's just hard because I'm just not what they're looking for.
07:03Heidi, they love you.
07:07You love all you want somebody, but if they're not what you're looking for, it's not what they're looking for.
07:11The only critique of your performance is just that it wasn't really Madonna, but they loved you so much that
07:16it didn't matter.
07:16But then they praised Crystal for not being Madonna, for being Crystal in her performance.
07:20But I think where they praised Crystal was that she brought herself out through Madonna.
07:26Because your personality is so vibrant and it's so apparent, I feel like when they don't see it, it's something
07:33that they take stock of.
07:36I think you did great.
07:42I'm feeling a little guilty just for everything that went down with me and Heidi.
07:48You're a sickening performer, but the judges have told you week after week that you have to improve on your
07:54face.
07:54Sure, at the end of the day, it is me, myself, and I.
07:58But I also don't want anybody to feel less than because of something that somebody else said.
08:04That's just not right.
08:07I don't know why you're so upset, because honestly, based on the critiques, I think it's me and Britta against
08:10each other.
08:11Lies. I'm the umpire. I'm calling out lies.
08:14I think it's even playing field. I can see it going anyway.
08:20Also, Heidi, I will say your makeup is beautiful tonight.
08:22They didn't notice, so, you know.
08:24But they didn't call it out.
08:25Yeah.
08:28I worked hard.
08:31A lot of the girls have given me really good feedback, and I can hear them.
08:35But it's hard to set all those doubts and fears that you've had for such a long time aside.
08:41I'm trying to push past all of it.
08:45But that's not their struggle. It's my struggle.
08:47I'm going to say congratulations, because she won the challenge.
08:49I think she won.
08:50I think so.
08:50No, but she's going to.
08:51Listen, you need to take these—
08:53I need you to dance a house down in these titties back home, sis.
08:56Could you imagine just—
08:57Do it, do it, do it.
08:58Grah, grah, grah, grah.
09:00That looks exhausting.
09:01Girl, I'm going to have a broken nose.
09:03Yeah.
09:05Hello?
09:09Oh, my God.
09:11How are you?
09:12Jesus.
09:12Oh, my gosh.
09:14AOC is in Untucked.
09:16You're amazing.
09:18No, you all are amazing.
09:20Oh, my gosh.
09:20Oh, my gosh.
09:20Oh, my gosh.
09:21Oh, my gosh.
09:23Girl.
09:25Welcome to Untucked.
09:27I'm gagged.
09:28I'm gagged.
09:29We're gagged.
09:31We're so gagged.
09:33How did you enjoy the Madonna performing?
09:34Oh, my God.
09:35Okay, I'm a huge Drag Race fan.
09:38I think this was the best Rusical out of the world.
09:43No BS.
09:45So, what's it like for you being on RuPaul's Drag Race?
09:47It is—I mean, this is truly a dream come true.
09:51I mean, last year, I was bartending in a restaurant.
09:53Oh, my God.
09:53Wow.
09:53That was my life last February.
09:56And every night, I would come home, and the only thing that would help me disconnect and unplugged was watching
10:01Drag Race.
10:02Wow.
10:03That was the thing that I did every single night.
10:06And to be in this moment is just so humbling and amazing, and I'm just trying to drink it up
10:13the way you all are.
10:14This is so crazy that, like, somebody so important in this country would take the time out of their life
10:20to come here.
10:21Not only you being here, but to hear that you love and appreciate what we do, and that it helps
10:29affect change throughout the universe.
10:31And, like, hearing that from you, who is so, you know, amazingly powerful and impactful to our society right now.
10:38And I'm so appreciative.
10:39I know everybody here is, too.
10:40So, thank you.
10:41We are literally gagged that you're sitting right here.
10:44It's really exciting to meet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
10:47This is such a huge honor because she's stood down the very same racism that my mom has encountered her
10:54whole time living in this country.
10:55It means a lot to me that there's representatives like AOC in Congress today.
11:01I see you standing up to that man every day, and how can we all even, like, complain about anything
11:11when you literally stand in the face of what I think is the most evil, the worst parts of our
11:17nature as humans.
11:17And you stand up against him and you say, no, that's so hard.
11:21You know, but we all do it in our own ways.
11:25People think Congress and government is all about leading people, but ultimately a lot of our politics is about following
11:32the public will.
11:33And the people who change what people think are artists and drag queens.
11:38And let's not forget who threw that first break at Stonewall.
11:42Yes!
11:43You know, that is what led to us passing the Equality Act in the House in this term, marriage equality.
11:50It starts with you.
11:52I mean, your patriots.
11:54You are.
11:55You are.
11:56You are patriots.
11:58And I'm so proud of you all.
12:01I'm so proud to live in this country with you and with your mother and with all of us as
12:08family.
12:09Oh, my God.
12:10I know it's hard hearing those critiques whenever you get them, but each and every one of you are here
12:16because you have such a unique characteristic that only belongs to you, that no one else has.
12:22And just know that, that that's forever what makes you special.
12:28We love you.
12:29I'm going to give her a two.
12:31Give her a two.
12:33Give her a two.
12:35Give her a two.
12:52Becky.
12:53Oh, my God.
12:54I love you very much.
12:55I love you, too.
12:56Kill it, please.
12:58If you do.
12:59Yep.
12:59No, yeah, probably in.
13:03I'm, like, truly shivering inside.
13:06But, like, I'm going to have to work above 100% now just to, like, regain myself.
13:13But, listen, I am strong and committed.
13:16And I'm here to slay.
13:22I am lost for words.
13:27I'm feeling determined.
13:30It's time to kick it into high gear because I want to prove that a small-town queen can win
13:36this competition.
13:37And if I have to lip-sync, I'll lip-sync my motherfucking ass off and keep it pumping.
13:42Because I want to be the next drag superstar.
13:45Or I cannot go home.
13:49Let's go.
13:50Got to go to the runway.
13:51Let's do it.
13:51This way.
13:52I'm just knocking shit down.
13:53Let's go.
13:55If I got a napkin, I'll clean it up when I come back.
13:56My bad.
13:58Welcome back, ladies.
14:02Britta and Heidi.
14:05The time has come to lip-sync for your life.
14:18Heidi, Shantae, you stay.
14:25Britta, thank you for the joy you bring to everything you do.
14:30Now, sashay away.
14:41I was so in my head this entire competition.
14:46I get in my head and I start to freak out.
14:49And then everything goes crazy.
14:52Like, I automatically turn into She-Hulk.
14:57I'm perfectly capable of slaying it.
15:00But I am my own worst enemy.
15:15Oh, all these notes.
15:19Jan, I don't know where to begin.
15:20From my beginning of drag, you've always been my biggest cheerleader.
15:23Your presence will forever be appreciated.
15:25You are sickening and you are stunning and you are the joy for me.
15:29And for everyone else, you will always be my favorite.
15:31I love you.
15:32Love, Jan.
15:35Yes, sis, I got you.
15:38I wish I could be here with my sisters.
15:41But I got in my way too much.
15:45And I shouldn't have gotten in my own way.
15:48I worked so hard.
15:50And I think I'm going to take some time to myself to, like, refocus and re-energize so that I
15:55can really show them what I got.
16:02I like her.
16:03She's going to go down in her story.
16:06There's a big thing that I learned being here that we only have a certain amount of time.
16:09So, like, you've got to leave ego outside of this.
16:12I don't care how you're feeling.
16:13Like, truly, you've got to leave your feelings at the door, sis.
16:19I'm going to get hungry.
16:25See you later, workroom.
16:27You're pretty work.
16:33I've always just wanted to spread so much joy to people.
16:38And maybe I was shady at times, but, you know, it's time to show the real Britta that I know.
16:46That's it.
16:48And don't forget my name.
16:49It's Britta, bitch.
16:51I had a lot of fun, sis.
16:53Ow, you're Britta work.
16:54Ha-ha!
16:59Thank you, ladies.
17:00While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
17:04You may leave the stage.
17:12It was a weird feeling getting negative critiques for the very first time.
17:16I haven't really been getting anything but positive critiques up until now.
17:20But I'm going to use these critiques to my advantage and apply them to the next challenge and make sure
17:27that I'm coming out on top.
17:32I'm devastated.
17:34I'm also defeated because somewhere in this competition, I think I'd lost the spark of having fun.
17:41I got into my head because I don't want to be seen as someone who's safe, someone who just coasts
17:48through.
17:48And I haven't been at the top since the first week.
17:54Speeding.
17:55Marker.
17:58Definitely need one of these.
18:01It's going to be somber in here today.
18:04Ciao.
18:07Oh, ciao.
18:09Root asked us, who should go home today?
18:11How did y'all feel having to make that decision?
18:19Who should go home tonight?
18:20I laughed the least at Widows.
18:22I would have to say Widow as well.
18:24I would also have to say Widow.
18:26I agree with my sisters.
18:28I would have to say Widow.
18:29She's one of my best friends here and it's tearing me up to say this.
18:33I would have to say Widow.
18:35I felt so great the first day here.
18:39And then it just feels like it's just going straight downhill from there.
18:43Like I hold myself so high in everything that I've done for the last 13 years.
18:47In drag and I've conquered every demon that ever like stepped in the way because I knew
18:52I was Widow Von Du.
18:55I don't know.
18:56It's something about this beast called RuPaul's Drag Race.
18:59I can't seem to conquer it.
19:00I can't grasp it.
19:03This is a hard ass experience and oh, child.
19:11What are you thinking, Widow?
19:16I want to meet Chaka Khan and unfortunately it's under these circumstances.
19:21So if you have to lip sync this song and Chaka Khan sees you bring this song to life.
19:28You got a fan.
19:29You're also the biggest Chaka Khan fan out of all of us.
19:31So I wish there was something I could say to make this better for you.
19:37I'm frustrated.
19:39I'm extremely frustrated because I don't like hearing that I've done wrong.
19:44And I'm just so angry, not at the judges for telling the truth.
19:48I'm angry at myself.
19:50I'm ashamed of what I've done.
19:51And I feel like I'm squandering this moment.
19:57Gigi, how are you?
20:01I'm kind of just like mad at myself.
20:04This is the first time I've gotten negative feedback from the judges.
20:08And it just kind of brings you down a little bit, huh?
20:12Yeah, it does.
20:14But I mean, honestly, what's done is done.
20:18I might be in the bottom.
20:19I'm just going to know my words.
20:20And that's the most I can do.
20:24But that's all you can do.
20:27Bitch, you had a really good week.
20:29And they loved your fashion.
20:31I'm so happy for you.
20:33Pretty on the runway.
20:34How did you feel?
20:36It felt like Heidi's arrived.
20:38You know, like she's here.
20:40And it's like, girl, you showed up a little late.
20:41But as long as you showed up, that's really how it matters.
20:43I think Heidi's been here.
20:44I just don't think you realized it until you heard them say it.
20:47Yeah.
20:49Yeah, you deserve it.
20:51I mean, definitely use this as motivation.
20:52For future challenges.
20:54It feels so good.
20:55And it's just fueling the fire that I have inside to really keep pushing.
21:01For a long time in this competition, it was just a back and forth with Gigi and Sherry winning everything.
21:08So I'm really excited to be getting such good feedback from the judges.
21:13Bitch, it's about time.
21:14You know, I'm feeling like I actually have a shot at this.
21:17I could go all the way.
21:19How do you feel, Dan?
21:22I feel terrible.
21:27I've been trying to show them, like, who I am and show them what I can do.
21:31It's just a manifestation of everything that I've tried to do in this competition.
21:35I've literally tried to throw everything but the kitchen sink at the judges to hopefully impress them and show them
21:42what I can do.
21:42And that's how the video came across.
21:45It was too over the top.
21:47It wasn't refined.
21:49It wasn't detailed.
21:50I think that I tried to just throw my personality out there instead of focus on the refinement of what
21:58the challenge needed to be.
21:59And, like, in hindsight now, of course I see it.
22:05And I don't want to cry.
22:10But I definitely think that it's going to be me and Widow in the bottom.
22:18And having Shaka Khan here, having Widow being such a big Shaka Khan fan, like, I would be lying if
22:26I didn't say that I was nervous.
22:28I'm going to go out there and slay the house because I want to show them that I want to
22:33be here.
22:34But I don't want to lipstick against you really loving this song and just, like, you being a sickening entertainer.
22:41You want to be here, too.
22:43And I'm just, like, the jantasy is not being felt right now.
22:50If you look at my track record so far in this competition, I've been safe or top.
22:55I have not had that moment where I've done so poorly that I've been in the bottom.
23:00And it sucks, but I am not going to let this deter me from my goal, even if it's all
23:08odds against me.
23:10So, I know we all had to say on stage who we thought should go home.
23:15But I'm kind of interested in hearing who you all think is, like, your biggest competition.
23:21You, bitch, you don't want 12 challenges.
23:25I think Jada is very stiff competition.
23:28Oh, yeah.
23:29I say Sherry and Gigi because they are both so different.
23:33And although you've had a lot of wins and, Sherry, you have not won as many challenges or many challenges
23:38that she's won,
23:39I still feel like there's a lot more to you.
23:42But then, like, for the rest of us, I feel like we get in our head a lot.
23:45And that's the one thing that can, like, take you out of it.
23:47So, it's like, you can be a strong competitor, but if that bitch slip up that week and get in
23:51her head, bitch, then that's going to be...
23:55You know what?
23:55I think if I was going to pick a top four, other than myself, it would be Sherry, Gigi, and
24:01you, Miss Jada.
24:06Really?
24:07I mean, I think everybody's really talented.
24:11Bitch, just because I'm in the bottom, it's not going to change my feelings in this competition.
24:16I can see myself in the top four very clearly.
24:20I have such drive and passion for this.
24:23I am not a quitter.
24:25I deserve to be in that top four.
24:29Lido, who do you think?
24:32What was the question?
24:33I wasn't paying attention.
24:34Sorry, I'm not all here right now.
24:36It's okay.
24:36It's okay.
24:37Oh, but you better, you better turn around.
24:40Come on, baby.
24:41Hi, sweetie.
24:43Baby.
24:45I was so hoping I was going to be in the top.
24:48Because as much as I wanted to beat Shaka Khan, I didn't want to have the lip-sync Shaka Khan's
24:52song in front of the judges on the main stage.
24:55But, hey, it's Shaka Khan.
24:57Like, you might as well just dump the dirt over the coffin because the bitch is dead.
25:02I can't sit next to the queen without hair.
25:04Fabulous.
25:05Oh, my God.
25:06I feel like we should have mopped the floor if we knew she was coming over.
25:09No, no, no, no.
25:10I'm no different than y'all.
25:12I want to wish you all good luck.
25:15Oh, my God.
25:16It's tough what you're doing.
25:18I know a little bit of it because I do a little drag, too.
25:21Girl, you got the heels on.
25:22You got the sparkles.
25:23You got it all.
25:23I feel like we're kindred spirits.
25:26So I know how hard it is.
25:28But it can be very rewarding because you're following your calling.
25:32That's what's important.
25:33You're following what you love to do.
25:35Yeah.
25:36I would say, like, anybody who does drag in whatever form of drag you do it, like, I'm
25:43Every Woman is, to me, like, one of those drag anthems that no matter who you are, it will
25:47speak to you.
25:48It does speak to people in such a way.
25:50I mean, everywhere I go, all over the world, everybody knows that song.
25:53Rightfully so.
25:54I can't believe I'm sitting here with Shaka Khan.
25:56Yeah, this is crazy.
25:57I know.
25:57I'm sitting here, and I'm real quiet because I'm just, I've talked about you all day today
26:02in the workroom, and...
26:06Yes, that's right.
26:08This is, like, it's been, like, this, like, we were all just, like, having a conversation
26:11about, like, how this is so hard, but the hardest part about it is, like, making sure
26:14that we overcome the demons in our minds that, like, tell us, like, we are not good enough
26:18to do it, or it's, like...
26:20Amen. And there are lots of those around us.
26:24And there are as many good ones as there are bad ones.
26:27It sounds like I'm cuckoo.
26:29No, I know.
26:30But I'm telling you, negative thoughts and feelings and entities can enter you when you're
26:36at your weakest, when you feel like you're a loser.
26:40But you are smarter than they are, and you can whoop it all.
26:44Anything negative, you can whoop its ass.
26:46All right.
26:47You have that power.
26:51I mean, I do want to really thank you for Through the Fire.
26:54Like, it's really pulled me through a lot of difficult times.
27:00And seeing you on stage, and I was, like, I hope I kill this challenge.
27:03I don't want to cry for the shot of God.
27:06And I was crying and just thinking of your song just is what's keeping me standing right
27:11now.
27:12Okay, let's stand on that.
27:14Stand on that.
27:15So I meant that song.
27:17Every time I sing it, I think it.
27:20Okay.
27:28Queen, sorry, I've got to take Chaka Khan now.
27:30Jo, goodbye.
27:32Goodbye.
27:33Bye.
27:35God bless you all.
27:37Be strong.
27:38Stay beautiful.
27:38In here.
27:39Oh, love you.
27:40All right.
27:41Bye-bye.
27:41We love you.
27:42Bye.
27:43Bye.
27:46Can't stop smiling.
27:46Look at her.
27:48I don't know, Widow.
27:49What's going on?
27:49Let it out, honey.
27:50I need to go listen to my lip sync song.
27:52No, you've got to tell us what's going on.
27:54I cannot disappoint Chaka Khan on her song.
27:56There is a new fire that has been lit into my soul, deep in my spirit.
28:02And, ladies, I beat you a two.
28:04I'm going over there.
28:04Go get it.
28:05Go get it, girl.
28:06Tear it up if you have to, honey.
28:08Tear it up.
28:08I'm going to listen to my tunes.
28:12Me as well.
28:13Chaka Khan is one of Widow's biggest idols.
28:16So, not only do I know that I'm going to be going up against the best dancer in this
28:20entire competition, but she has so much going for her right now.
28:26I need a miracle to happen.
28:30Ah, what a life.
28:32You're kind of like where I was last week, where it's like, I don't think you did bad
28:35in this challenge.
28:36Well, I didn't do well, though.
28:38I definitely think it's going to be me.
28:42And I'm going to turn it.
28:43I know you can turn it.
28:44You're going to be disappointing me mostly if you don't fucking mop down the house.
28:49America's going to see what you can really do.
28:52If that happens, then they'll get this chance to see that, like, the force that you are to
28:56be reckoned with.
28:57If I have to lip sync, I'm going to go out there and do the thing that I love to
29:01do the
29:01most, which is entertain and have fun and just live in it.
29:05Good.
29:06I can't lose another New York girl this week, okay?
29:07It's not going to happen.
29:08She's going to turn it.
29:09Okay.
29:09Queens, five minutes to the runway.
29:12Slay.
29:13Slay.
29:13I'm going to girl.
29:13You're going to.
29:14She's going to.
29:14Through the fire.
29:15Good.
29:16I love you.
29:16I love you.
29:26I'm having fun in this competition, and I don't want it to end.
29:28And if I'm in the bottom two next to Widow, who is the biggest Chaka Khan fan and an amazing
29:38performer, I know she's going to turn it.
29:41But bitch, I'm going to turn it too.
29:48I was in my head in the challenge, and I knew that this was what was coming.
29:52It's game time.
29:55And I got my pep talks from my icon, Chaka Khan.
29:58Like, I am not going the fuck home.
30:04Like, I am not going the fuck home.
30:09All right, Queens.
30:11Runway time.
30:12Oh, my God.
30:13Here we go.
30:14If it's us, kill it out there.
30:17Make Chaka proud.
30:18If it's us, bitch, let's give them the reason to keep us both.
30:22And let's prove to them that we can come back from the fuck up that we did.
30:26Let's do this, bitch.
30:26Let's go do this.
30:27Let's cry no more tonight.
30:28Motherfucking chill.
30:28I can't cry no more tonight, bitch.
30:30I can't cry no more tonight.
30:31We got to do this, bitch.
30:33Let's go.
30:34Pray to the gay gods today.
30:36Welcome back, ladies.
30:39I've made some decisions.
30:43Widow Von Du.
30:45Jan, the time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
30:57Widow Von Du.
30:59Shantay you stay.
31:02Jan, you are simply fabulous.
31:06And never forget that.
31:08Now, sashay away.
31:25I put everything into this competition.
31:30I don't know how I could have done any better than what I did.
31:38I'm crushed because this was my dream.
31:49Oh, hello.
31:52Oh, God.
31:55All right.
31:55This one's from Widow.
31:59I'm so sad that it came down to you and me.
32:01I love your soul and spirit, always bringing joy to the workroom.
32:04I'm going to miss you so much.
32:07You are a fierce queen.
32:08Keep on keeping on.
32:10Oh.
32:11She was the one person I was like, I don't want to go up against.
32:17I'm leaving with a heavy heart, just wanting more.
32:23But I have big plans for the future.
32:25I know that I want to do so much with drag.
32:29And, you know, I might have lost the set, but I still have a whole match to play.
32:34And that matches the rest of my life.
32:36So, I'm excited to see where the future takes me.
32:40Oh.
32:41Okay.
32:46Oh, God.
32:50Here we go.
32:54Bye, y'all.
33:00I gave Widow the best fight that I could.
33:04But, it wasn't even about staying.
33:08It was about proving that I could hold my own.
33:12I'm not just a singer.
33:14I'm not just a pretty girl.
33:16I'm a fierce entertainer.
33:18And I proved that.
33:22All right, everybody.
33:23Thank you so much for loving me.
33:26I hope that I made you feel the jantisy.
33:28Everybody, be kind to one another and believe in yourselves.
33:31Never give up on your dreams and chase them fiercely.
33:33Mwah.
33:35Thank you, ladies.
33:37While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will debate.
33:42You may leave the stage.
33:49I agree with everything the judges have said about me.
33:52I agree that sometimes my comedy falls flat, that I get too esoteric in my humor.
33:58But, I think I gave the judges exactly what's true to myself.
34:03And I'm feeling, more than anything, empowered to continue on in this competition.
34:08I'm just going to keep doing me.
34:11Bitch, I'm feeling good.
34:13I'm not a debater.
34:14But what I do is argue.
34:17And I'm just really excited that the judges finally got to see more about who I am.
34:22And most likely will want to see more from me going forward.
34:30Let's be there.
34:37Come here, my pretend.
34:39Oh, we have new furnishings.
34:42We're blessed and highly favored with this object's furnishing.
34:46Well, how is everybody feeling?
34:48I feel really good.
34:49You look good today, bitch.
34:50It was like, ah!
34:52You, honestly, today, look stunning.
34:56You've made such an incredible improvement since day one.
34:58And that's coming from her.
34:59The one that called me ugly.
35:00The one that called you ugly.
35:02Don't touch me.
35:04Don't touch me.
35:05She said your makeup looked better.
35:07She did not say you were pretty.
35:08Oh, I've been taking tips from so many people.
35:10I took tips from it.
35:11I've taken tips from Jada over here getting me together.
35:13And it's, it's, thank God.
35:15But we're going to get it, look.
35:16We're going to get it even better.
35:18Crystal, what are you thinking right now?
35:20Okay, hi, everybody.
35:21It's me.
35:22Crystal.
35:23I'm Crystal Method.
35:23I'm Tonya Cedric in the top and I want to win.
35:25I would like to congratulate you.
35:26You've been on a roll.
35:27You've been on the top.
35:28Comeback queen.
35:28She is literally the toes that are about to spill out of the shoe that is too small,
35:32but refuses to let go.
35:34Yeah.
35:35The cliffhangers.
35:36The cliffhangers.
35:37You will make it, Crystal.
35:39Jada, this look is amazing.
35:41It's amazeballs.
35:42I'm blown away that you actually made this.
35:44Well, thank God I'm not lip syncing because if I had to lip sync today, you would know that
35:49I made it.
35:49And Leigh Govan is like.
35:50It's made to walk on the runway and that's him.
35:54How are you, Gigi?
35:56King George.
35:58I'm not upset about the challenge, really.
36:01As soon as we left filming it, I kind of was prepared for what the judges were going to
36:05tell me.
36:06I'm not sure.
36:07Are you a big politics fan?
36:08I'm not.
36:09Yeah, I think that hurt you in this challenge because to be able to parody something, you
36:13have to kind of have a base knowledge of it.
36:14And I felt like maybe that was missing.
36:17I'm just ashamed for not educating myself.
36:21A lot of people don't want us to think that politics are important because if you don't
36:26think it's important, then it's easier for them to win.
36:28To even just say, you know what, I have not been paying attention to something that's important
36:33and I'm going to change it.
36:34That's already in itself a lot just to admit that.
36:38I am not well-versed in politics, but one thing about this challenge that I am excited about
36:44is it really made me realize what I want to be doing and how I want to change.
36:49Because to me, that's really important.
36:52However, I'm a little bit worried that I have a weakness compared to the others.
36:58Jackie, I just want to know where you're at, how you're feeling.
37:05I mean, look.
37:07What do you...
37:15I was scared to wear this.
37:19There are so many people who will think what I'm doing is wrong, but there are so many people
37:24who don't even have that voice.
37:27There is such a small, queer Muslim community.
37:30Even I've talked to girls about how hard it is for me and being honest about who I am with
37:34my own family.
37:37And if you're lucky enough where this issue won't affect you, you may not know how important
37:45this is to me and so many other people.
37:49What you did tonight on the runway was you really showed stars and stripes out there.
37:55And what you did for young LGBTQAI Muslim people, you literally blew the doors fucking wide open.
38:05Humongous balls.
38:09I mean, look.
38:10I don't want this to be a sad moment for me because more than anything, I'm proud.
38:15Yeah.
38:16And if I have to lip sync, I'm proud to look like this and to be myself.
38:20Fierce, brave.
38:21Brave.
38:21Yeah.
38:24So I want to talk.
38:26That was the first time this season that Rue raised her tone and I was shook with a, like,
38:32how did it feel?
38:33Like, because she was, like, talking directly to you when it happened.
38:39I stayed up until 4.30 in the morning just writing stuff and it just feels like it was
38:44all for nothing.
38:45You're digging yourself into a hole right now and you don't have to do that.
38:48This is all just constructive criticism.
38:50It's really hard for me to be here.
38:52The competition's fucking hard.
38:53But don't do that to yourself.
38:55The payoff is not worth it.
38:57I felt like I did exactly what I thought was great.
39:00And once again, this, you know what, Widow, you are really good.
39:04And, like, what Rue was saying is, like, really important.
39:07Like, sometimes, no matter how good we think we did, it's okay to fuck up.
39:11But, like, you don't have to beat yourself up about it.
39:12And that'll mean, like, just because you're not a failure.
39:14If you make it past today, that tomorrow won't be better.
39:18You know what I mean?
39:18It's no longer just one thing.
39:20It's, like, every fucking week.
39:22And I'm just, like, the fuck?
39:24Like, I literally got no sleep for this entire challenge.
39:28Because I stayed up writing it.
39:30Hell, I should have just fucking went to sleep.
39:32I should have just came in, you know, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed like everybody else and just said, fuck
39:36it.
39:37I'm tired of writing material.
39:39I'm tired of trying to put it together just to be told that it's awful.
39:42Like, and that's all I hear.
39:44Well, they didn't say it was awful.
39:45But they didn't say it was good.
39:47I'm not going to lie to you.
39:48I'm crushed, devastated, I'm disappointed.
39:52I thought I was giving so much more.
39:53It is competition.
39:55But apparently not.
39:58I think I'm good at pretty much everything.
40:01And then realizing that I'm not.
40:03And there are other queens that do it better than me.
40:06It's a complete mindfuck.
40:08Do you hear what they were, like, saying about, like, not letting your feelings overtake you?
40:16It's a little past that point now.
40:18I literally felt like this was my turnaround.
40:20And I'm right back where I was last week.
40:23Right back where I was the week before.
40:25Right back where I was ever since the first week.
40:27I relate to you in that way.
40:29And I was in the bottom a lot of times.
40:31And I felt like I was giving my all and doing my best.
40:35And it really is like a game of Jumanji.
40:38You never know what is going to happen.
40:41Yeah.
40:41Well, right now I'm getting ran over by the entire stampede of all the animals that were running through the
40:46living room.
40:47Widow, it wasn't that it wasn't funny.
40:50It just wasn't as funny as some of the other girls.
40:53I hear what y'all saying, but I don't think anyone is understanding what I'm saying.
40:57Literally, the only person that I heard that got other bad critiques was Jackie.
41:01Which means that I am not funnier than anybody else.
41:04That's up here.
41:04That's literally all I heard.
41:07I am tired of not getting anything.
41:10And it's literally just...
41:12Really, at the end of the day, like, if you don't want to think in your mind that what can
41:17happen can change, then it won't.
41:18If you tell yourself that you cannot do this, like, it's not going to work.
41:31Each week passes by and Widow is slowly but surely beating herself up.
41:37When Shaka Khan came in, she had high hopes and she really got back in that headspace that she needed
41:42to be.
41:42But as soon as Shaka left, it was, like, right back down to where she had been.
41:47And it's hard to watch.
41:54How you feeling this day?
41:57Girl, I know.
41:58I know the feeling.
41:59You just got to fight.
42:00When you were in the bottom, it was...
42:01My runway.
42:02Because we all were great.
42:03And it came down to the runway.
42:06I know it's not my runways.
42:07I know my runways look great.
42:08I don't get it.
42:10The only thing I hear is, you weren't funny.
42:12You weren't funny.
42:13You weren't funny.
42:14But I don't think any of them said that you, like, literally wasn't funny.
42:17It just was less funny.
42:19Less funny means not funny.
42:21That's how I see it.
42:22Like, I can't talk myself out of it.
42:24I can't move past it.
42:25I can't get around it.
42:26It's just...
42:26It's physically, emotionally.
42:28It literally feels like 13 years of preparing to do everything.
42:32It's just...
42:32This is killing every fiber of my being.
42:37And I just feel like...
42:42It just feels like I'm going to be seeing Kansas City a lot sooner than I expected.
42:46Don't get in that mindset.
42:47Because if you get in that mindset, it'll come true.
42:50I was on a downward spiral in my head the night of having a lip sync against bro.
42:56And it all clicked when I was like, you know what?
42:58I'm about to lip sync.
43:00Lip syncing is what I do.
43:01I get that.
43:03And that's what got me through the Chaka Khan song.
43:06But my body is falling apart.
43:08And I can't deal with it because I have to try to get through this fucking mindfuck.
43:15It is literally making me not even sure of who I am as an entertainer anymore.
43:20I have run so much things against it.
43:23It's making me just think that I just got lucky.
43:27Girl, no.
43:28You're here for a reason.
43:29You're that bitch in Kansas for a reason.
43:32So don't ever think you just got lucky.
43:35Widow is starting to take all the critique a little too personal.
43:39You have to be able to separate yourself from your art and she's not.
43:44It's really tearing her up inside.
43:46She's used to being like that bitch.
43:48And it's hard to say, okay, maybe I wasn't the best at this moment and keep pushing through.
43:54But that's what you have to do.
43:56Look, bitch.
43:57Right now, everybody's feeling real cool and comfortable and collected.
44:00Do y'all feel like maybe we have like some hidden issues?
44:03Okay, listen.
44:04I think America wants us to fight.
44:07And America wants to see some issues happen, which there, I mean, clearly there have been in the past.
44:14So you hate a bitch, but you love a bitch.
44:15You hate a bitch, but you love a bitch.
44:17I don't have any issues with any of y'all.
44:19I mean, there's part of me that wishes we could connect with Widow more, but I don't think it has
44:22anything to do with us.
44:23Ooh.
44:25That sounds like an issue.
44:27I mean, like, it's like I'm not going to be mad at her about that.
44:31I think she's got a lot of things in her mind that are keeping her from connecting with us.
44:34And I mean, I can pull her into this conversation if we want.
44:37We could talk to her about it.
44:38I guess at the end of the day, like, it just is what it is.
44:41Like, I'm not upset enough to really confront someone about not being my best friend.
44:45Throughout this competition, Widow seems to be quick to jump to the wrong conclusions.
44:51She's kind of separated herself whenever she's either gotten a negative criticism or whenever she was upset with any of
44:58us, she would pull away.
44:59And I feel bad that she hasn't been able to connect to me or the other girls as much as
45:04I would have hoped.
45:05But that's her problem.
45:07To me, I think that, like, if an issue is worth calling out, then it's an issue worth addressing.
45:11That's just me.
45:14Do you want to talk to Widow?
45:17More?
45:18I mean, it seems like she really wants her space.
45:20I mean, go ahead, get off our chest now.
45:23Because someone's going home tonight.
45:28All right, queens.
45:29Five minutes left.
45:30Oh.
45:31Five minutes.
45:32Oh, my God.
45:33Five minutes, ladies.
45:34Could you hear my snar?
45:36The shorter side is supposed to stab me in the neck, not the longer one.
45:39Hey, Miss Thing.
45:41Howdy.
45:41I think it's me and you tonight.
45:45Can I tell you something?
45:46Yes, if you don't mind me looking down trying to figure out how my stars and stripes goes back together.
45:54I was saying earlier, back there, they were like, what's going on?
45:56Are we really best friends or is there stuff between us?
45:59And I want to tell you, my only wish is that we could have been a little closer to this
46:03competition.
46:04I see your heart and I see your pain, too.
46:07And I know sometimes that's why you pull away from us sometimes.
46:10And I'm sorry if I've ever made you feel like you can't talk to me.
46:13But I really, really respect you.
46:16I think you're really incredible as a queen.
46:20Why do we always have to have conversations when one of us is dying?
46:24That you are a special, special entertainer.
46:27You're a special human being.
46:28You're going to teach me how to do those drops and kicks and stuff, aren't you?
46:31Not during this, but another time.
46:33You have to stretch first.
46:34Yeah, stretch first.
46:37I have a lot of feelings.
46:39But I feel strength coming through me as I'm wearing this outfit.
46:44I have a fire lit up under my ass knowing that it's make or break time.
46:49I have to show the judges that I need to be here all the way through to the end.
46:55All the emotions are just circling around my head at this moment.
47:00And my emotions haven't really changed.
47:03I'm trying so hard to push these feelings down so I can give a great lip sync to redeem myself.
47:13I'm at least going to give you a show, hopefully.
47:19All right, queens.
47:21No.
47:21No.
47:22Come with me.
47:22I'm either dressed for an inauguration or I'm dressed for an assassination.
47:27So we will see.
47:28Welcome back, ladies.
47:31I've made some decisions.
47:34Widow Von Doom.
47:36Jackie Cox.
47:38The time has come.
47:41We need to lip sync for your life.
47:48Jackie Cox.
47:51Shantay you stay.
47:53Widow Von Doom.
47:55Sashay away.
47:56I feel like I'd let you down.
47:59You did not let me down.
48:01Thank you for this amazing opportunity.
48:15I don't think I have one inner saboteur.
48:17I have several inner saboteurs.
48:20One wants to be angry and defend myself.
48:25The other one wants to cry and hide away.
48:29And there's one that's just defeat.
48:32And that one's the biggest one of all.
48:35It's the one that's all the way in the back that just waits for its one moment to strike.
48:39Like, I knew it was coming.
48:50Now, I know y'all gonna see a lot of me doubting myself.
48:59And I don't know where it really came from.
49:02Because I walked in and I felt, you know, like, yes, bitch, I might be.
49:06I'm that bitch.
49:08At some point down the line, I got in my own way and couldn't move my big ass out of
49:13the way.
49:17They must have knew I was going to need peace.
49:22I agree wholeheartedly that I was standing in my own way and not letting my light shine.
49:33Goodbye, workroom.
49:36Uh, bye, nine pictures of RuPaul.
49:42I guess just like the way I came in.
49:45Relax your throat, bitches.
49:47We just begun and you're still gagging.
49:51This is only the tip.
49:55At the end of the day, you have to have that experience.
49:58You gotta learn things.
49:59I thought I was so much stronger than the dark demons that I've held back for many years.
50:06You know, and I hope that one day I get another chance to redeem myself.
50:11That's my goal.
50:12But right now, I'm going to remind myself one more again that I'm that bitch.
50:20Widow motherfucking Bondu.
50:23Whenever you are in doubt, rub them fucking thighs together and remember who the fuck you are.
50:31Now, can you take me to a good stuff that's fucking green?
