♪ MTV

Previously on
"RuPaul's Drag Race"...

You'll be performing in
three cute pop girl groups.

DD Fuego.

Girl, you were
stiff as a dick.

Mandy Mango.

I'm like the table with all
the family picture frames.

I don't like those
colors together.

Jane Don't.

♪ I tested positive
for slayin' ♪

♪ It burns ♪

You were a rock star.

Condragulations,
you are the winner

of this week's challenge.

Thank you so much.

Mandy Mango,
shantay, you stay.

DD Fuego, sashay away.

We made it, girly.

We made it, girly.

I just sent DD Fuego home.

My fellow studio 50
whore sister.

And I see her message
on the mirror.

"Divas, hate this for me,
but love all of you.

DD Fuego."

We love you, DD!

- We love you!
- Love you!

I'm really sad to see
DD go home so soon,

but I was really so close
to being that person

writing the message
on the mirror.

It was a murder
on the dance floor.

I went into that knowing
I had to kill it,

but I had to take off
this fucking table.

And then I heard all
the shattering behind me.

Table service.

After being in the bottom
two times in a row,

I've had Cardi B
call my dress ugly.

Oh, my God, I hate it.

I now had Ru call my table
look ugly, essentially.

I wouldn't say
it's pleasing to the eye.

I know I have dug
a deep hole for myself,

and I gotta do a lot of work
to show Ru that I deserve

to continue to be here.

Miss Jane, congratulations!

Slayin'.

Ru told me to just keep
doing what I'm doing,

so I'm gonna keep on
keeping on.

I don't know.

I'm feeling very good
about my win,

but I'm also feeling a little
bit of a shift in energy

where I was in the top
the first week.

I just won, and it
feels like there's

a bit of a target on my back.

Athena, what is going through
your kooky little brain?

'Cause you have been on
a roller coaster, bitch.

It's like a ping pong game
in here right now.

It was so surreal when
she said I was safe.

I just felt like my
whole body just dropped.

During critiques,
DD mentioned

that, in the beginning,
you ended up taking

the lead with the choreo.

During the choreography
section, at the very beginning,

Athena led us
through that moment.

Do you have any
feelings about that?

Correct me if I'm wrong,
I don't think I shut

anybody down at any point.

So that kind of came
out of left field.

I think Athena is probably
a little shaken right now...

No more bottoms
for the Dions, please.

I know.

To be the Grande Dame of
Miami and to come immediately

here and not excel.

Ooh, I'm kind of
vibing with that.

Way to humble her.

- You know what, Athena?
- What?

You're a boob head.

Ugh!

Ew.

Athena is gonna get staph.

That's all she
needs at this point.

Briar is starting
to get on my nerves.

She is like an annoying little
bird around the Werk Room

that you just want to open
the window and push out.

And she seems like
the kind of girl

that wants to throw
the other girls off their game.

Briar, I'm so
vulnerable right now.

Can you please leave me alone?

Give me a kiss.

Please leave me alone.

But keep your eye
on the prize and stay

in your mother-tuckin' lane.

Ow.

You whore.

Good morning, world.

It is a new week.

I am so happy to be walking
back into the Werk Room.

It is a fresh new start.

Anyone else's body
just exhausted right now?

Girl.

I mean, this is season 30.

I love to see Mia laugh,

Girl, you can tell Mia hey,

Okay.

Y'all can shut

Hello, hello, hello.

Oh, my goodness.

Come on, pinstripe.

Good morning, queens.

all:
Good morning!

For this week's
Maxi Challenge,

you'll be starring in
everybody's favorite sketch

comedy show, "RDR Live."

I am ready!

Fucking comedy challenge.

Finally, the loud, annoying
bitches are gonna shine.

In a moment,
you'll have a chance

to read through the sketches
and choose your parts.

Then, later today, you'll
have one take to make it

or break it when you
go live on the air.

Remember, we are looking for
breakout characters that will

make America giggle again.

I'm drinking champagne.

I don't act.

I don't do comedy.

So I'm looking around the
room and I'm like, damn.

Dayum!

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best
drag queen win.

"RDR Live."

Hey!

It's time to pick
our roles, baby.

Let's get into
these sketches.

My libretto is so large.

In "RDR Live," you can pick
a really out there character

that's so different from
who you are and shine

just by having a
few lines, and that

could be the key to success.

Or you can stick
true to yourself

and really show who
you are, and sometimes,

that's the key to success.

Oh, my God.

Bitch, pick a role that comes
into a scene and steals it.

Be a scene stealer.

I think I want Plum.
I don't know.

Plum comes into the scene,
and she disrupts everything.

Bitch, go for Plum.

So I'm really looking at Plum
for the lipstick lesbian.

I'm actually
looking at Butch.

- Yes.
- Oh, my God.

I could be Red then.

So we have to fight, bitch.

- That's gonna be fun.
- Lipstick lovers.

Closed.
- Closed.

"Back in the 1980s,
a young Michelle Visage

"learns everything she knows
while working

in the office supply business."

I'm happy with Michelle
if no one wants that one.

I think you give
Michelle down.

Yeah.

I'm a young Michelle Visage.

And I'll be Jean,
your supervisor.

I really want Daisy.

The bitch who
entered with corn

has gotta be at the butter
churning competition.

- I want Barbara Johnson.
- Perfect.

We needed a Barbara.

Barbara Johnson is
an old Amish lady

who is sexually
churning butter.

It's an opportunity to make
Ru and the judges laugh.

We have QNN news sketch.

"Our trustworthy news anchors

"get a visit from one
of the anchor's

overly supportive mother."

I would love
anchor number one.

I feel like I've deduced
what I would like,

and I would like to
be the Inner Saboteur.

- I mean...
- I saw that for you.

- Oh, my God.
- Surprise, surprise.

I saw that for you, honey.

I have to be someone's
Inner Saboteur.

The person I'm the saboteur of
is the host of the show.

And who's the host
of everything?

Athena, I just feel like we'd
have good chemistry out there.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Briar--Briar wants to be
my scene partner.

Bitch, I'm trying to get as
far away from you as I can.

I wanna be the
overbearing mother.

I also really like
the supportive mom.

Oh, come on, Jane,
I really wanna do that one.

But I feel like--don't
you wanna be the host?

I really wanna do the mom.

The host of "RDR Live"
has to kick everything off,

and you either succeed
or you flop.

So maybe there's some
strategy happening here.

Is this a setup?

You and Briar together
makes so much sense.

It kind of writes itself.

What are you
scared of, Athena?

Do you want me to be
the host because you guys

wanna see her just
attack me on "RDR Live"?

I do also think you
are a host back home.

I understand it would fit,
but I really like the mom part.

As do I.

I can hear this woman's
voice in my brain.

She's calling to me
through the ether.

And I know that I can turn
out better than Athena.

Athena, you are such
an accomplished host.

And also, you wanna just go
so bad,

and it didn't seem to work out.

Maybe you should do something
that would push you more.

Wake that up.
Shake that table.

Maybe it's time
that you push yourself

to try something that you
don't immediately want.

Go ahead, Athena,
host "RDR Live."

You're a big hostess.

Make it work.

Am I just gonna be
handed scraps every week

and say, turn this straw
into gold, Athena.

Prove us you're magical.

Fuck my drag, right?

Okay, I'm the host.

And does that
mean I can be mom?

- Mommy.
- Perfect.

Are we happy with our parts?
all: Yes.

I'm so happy.

What have I
gotten myself into?

all: Live from Tuckahoe,
it's "RDR Live."

- I'm so excited.
- Me too.

Ciao.

This week's Maxi Challenge

is "RDR Live."

This sketch is so funny
because the whole thing

is just a big innuendo, and
we're also tubes of lipstick.

This is RuPaul's school
of overacting, honey.

You just have to act stupid.

You two-timing lying hussy!

And, bitch, this is what I do.

I feel very comfy.

I know who this woman is.

I know where she's going.

This woman, she's got hot dish.

She's making casserole that's
gonna give you a coronary.

RuPaul specifically
said that he's looking

for break out characters.

What an appetite.
- Mom.

And so that is
very much informing

my thinking for how I'm going
to approach this challenge.

We should go!
They're serving stuffed pig!

No, Mom, no!

I'll be happy for her because
I love her, but three in a row

is a bit much.

This kind of thing
is so up my alley.

But I can see
the little shark fins

in the water that
started gathering

when I won the girl group
challenge.

And now there's more of them.

If I don't deliver,
it's gonna be a problem.

Oh, my God.

Folks, please say hello
to my Inner Saboteur.

I've come to terms that I will
be a great host of "RDR Live."

What I'm still working on is
accepting the fact that I have

Briar as my scene partner.

You're about to bomb this
hosting gig worse than you

bombed last week's challenge.

That was ages ago.

Oh, I've grown up.

Don't forget that.

I wanna call you fat
with everything in me,

but I can't do that if you
don't say how you've grown up.

Briar!

Briar!

I just really wanna
deliver a good opening

monologue for "RDR Live."

I bragged to all
these girls that I'm

the premier host of Miami.

I can't walk in here
and bomb due to Briar.

Too real. This is too real.

She puts the ass
in assistant.

It's the new secretary,
Michelle Visage.

Judge much?

I really wanna do well
this challenge.

This is one of my
biggest strengths,

so I'm just excited
to flex that muscle.

Someday I'm gonna be a star.

Everything I say comes
from a place of love.

I want you to be the best
assistant secretary you can be.

I think we gotta figure out
what voice you're going for.

Yeah.

Do you feel comfortable
with an accent,

like a New Jersey,
New York accent?

Not too, too much.

I've tried accents before.

All my friends laugh at me.

I'm gonna need to see more.

The accent is just
not gonna happen.

I've never done sketch comedy.

Well, sweetheart, this is the
Olympics of office supplies.

And this--
- I feel like--

I feel like they're
handing us "Drag Race"

references as we do this.

This is the--

This is the Olympics
of office supplies!

- It could be bigger.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's basic--and this,
it's basically a corset.

Mm. Okay, okay.

Have--we gotta
have fun with it.

Yeah.

This type of challenge
calls for a good partner

to go back and forth with and
making sure the energy is up.

You gotta stop
relying on that body.

Maybe you say it like her.

Stop relying on that body.

Stop relying on that body.

Let's just go big.
Let's try it.

I'm just really hoping she
can get out of her head

and deliver.

Yeah.

Hey, ladykins.

We've got company.

All the way from
"Saturday Night Live,"

say hello to Sarah Sherman.

Hi.

Shall we, darling?

Oh, yes.
Thank you, darling.

I...

I am obsessed
with Sarah Sherman.

All right, come on over.

Discord, Mia Starr, Darlene
Mitchell, and Mandy Mango.

Say hello to Sarah.
all: Hi, Sarah.

Sarah's been doing stand up
and sketches on television.

I don't miss an
episode of "SNL."

Good.
There's some stuff going on.

Discord, the first week
you walked on the runway,

you had a very
distinctive walk.

Look at that walk.

That is definitely a walk.

You looked like a crazy person.

In a bad way?

No, in the most
entertaining way, possibly.

Historians will look
back on that runway walk,

and they will think,

what was wrong with her?

- Should I dial it back?
- No.

Whatever you're doing,
keep doing it.

- I loved it.
- I loved it.

I have no idea
what intrigues Ru

about my walk so much,

so hopefully
somebody can let me know.

Darlene, do you have
a question for Sarah?

I do.

When you get a role that
you're really excited for,

do you let yourself kind of
become someone else completely,

or do you try to
stay present in that?

You have to,
like, constantly be open

to the character evolving
while you're doing it.

Something happens when you
put on the full costume.

So don't be so
locked on an idea

before all the finishing
touches happen.

That was the most
important thing,

what she just said right there.

That was so smart.

And this one here, this Mango,

she lip synced last week for
her life and just tore it up.

Mandy Mango is very
animated, very kooky,

so she likes to be
a little freaky too.

You're all so different.

Lean into that. Lean into that.

You're all a bunch
of fucking freaks.

It's brilliant.

I haven't done too much
formal sketch comedy,

but I feel like this is asking
for this quirky, bonkers energy

that Ru keeps
recognizing in me,

and I think this is the right
place to place that energy.

I hope that she
likes this evening.

All right, Nini, Kenya.

Coco, Shanika.

Rhodesia, Vita,
Myki, and Juicy.

And where's Rashonda?

I'm right here, girl.

Tell Sarah what you're
playing, starting with Juicy.

I'm in the young
Michelle sketch,

and I'm playing Jean,
a sharp and sarcastic older

office worker who teaches
Michelle what she knows.

Don't say older
and look at me.

How do you suggest I go
about that to make it funny?

You're modeling it off of one
of the funniest people ever.

So it's like you're doing a
love letter to Michelle Visage.

Take yourself out of your head
and be, like, a little present.

And then just get on
your knees and pray to God

that you're being hilarious.

When Sarah's like, wait,
you're not just playing

an older character,
you're doing

an homage to Michelle Visage,

it was like
an oh, shit moment.

Like, what the hell did
I just get myself into?

Anybody have
theater background?

Myki does.

How'd you get into theater?

I've always just had that
entertainer side of me.

And to be honest,
it's "Saturday Night Live"

that helped influence
that entertainer in me.

And "Drag Race" and
"Saturday Night Live"

are two big dreams
I had, so this feels

like a really big moment.

Yeah.

Are you about to cry?

I've already cried, Ru.

I've cried, like,
twice already.

Doing "RDR Live" is just
bringing back so many memories.

My dad worked a lot
growing up, a lot of hours.

And the time we spent together
as a kid was him coming home

after work on Saturdays,
and we'd watch

"Saturday Night Live" together.

I'm just so excited
for him to see me

do what I've been wanting
to do for a very long time.

Good. That's great.

You know what to do.

Just don't overthink it.
Have fun.

Just don't fuck it up.

All right, loves.
- Thanks, RuPaul.

- Go on back to work.
- Thank you, Sarah.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

I really wanna win this
challenge because it is

something I feel very
passionate about,

and I would just really
love that validation.

We're gonna kill it.

Yes, we are.

All right,
now, queens, listen up.

Sarah has something to say.

As someone who has famously
played an owl, a squirrel,

and a worm on live television,

I am so excited to announce
that, for the runway,

category is...

animal attraction.

So good luck.

And don't fuck
it up, please.

Good evening.

I'm Diane Shunk.

And I'm Patsy Dongle,
welcoming you

to the 69th Annual
Butter Churning Championship.

Tonight's match-up features
14-time churning champion

Barbara Johnson.

Isn't she just darling?

Hi, ladies.

It's always been
a delight to see you.

Proud to keep this great
Tuckahoe tradition alive.

Now here's newcomer
Daisy "Sweet Cream" McCoy.

She entered the competition
just a few hours ago.

Daisy, tell us
about yourself.

Well, I was just
down in the parking lot

with some of the fellas,
and they dared me to enter

'cause they says
I's good with my hands.

So you've churned before?

Well...

Not butter.

What a contrast
in contestants.

This should be fun
to watch, Patsy.

All right,
let's get to churning.

Exceptional form
from Barb Johnson.

Her trademark slow
and steady rhythm.

You can't rush that cream.

I see Daisy McCoy is opting
for a two-handed grip,

an unconventional
but effective move.

Johnson is
picking up the pace.

Look at her go.

McCoy is really showing
that pole who's boss.

I have never seen such
powerful stroking.

This is what competitive
churning is all about, Diane.

Oh, my God, Daisy's
going for a double churn.

And the judges are allowing it.

We are in uncharted
territory, folks.

Holy cow.

This is awesome.

She looks like she's
really enjoying this too.

What is happening?

This is insanity, folks.

4-H did not prepare
me for this.

And that is time.

It's a tie.

Now that is what I call
a happy ending, and...

all: Live from Tuckahoe,
it's "RDR Live"!

It's "RDR Live"

with musical guest RuPaul,

and your host, Athena Dion.

Welcome to "RDR Live"!

I'm your host, Athena Dion.

And can we talk about
how stun I look?

Okay?

It's giving winner,
winner, chicken--

I had to skip dinner,
all right?

Now, listen, guys,
I'm a little nervous,

but I've been talking
to my therapist,

and she said to breathe and--

Well, well, well,
look who's hosting.

And with that hair, so brave.

Folks, please say hello
to my Inner Saboteur.

Oh, don't mind me.

I'm just here
to watch and judge

and maybe whisper my opinion.

Oh, I thought I told you
to stay in my dressing room.

Oh, honey,
wherever you, I go.

By the way,
you really are committed

to the silhouette, huh?

Choices.

Well, what's wrong with my--

listen, you need to leave.

Oh, I'm not going anywhere,

not when you're about to bomb
this hosting gig worse than you

bombed last week's challenge.

Oh, that was ages ago.

I've grown up.

Girl, you've grown out.

Listen, bitch,
my therapist gave me

a mantra for times like this.

Inner voice of doubt and fear.

That's not even real.

Your time is up,
now disappear.

I'm just trying to
protect you from--

This queen don't
need your shady sass.

I'm...

So take your leave
and kiss my ass.

Now, where was I?

Oh, yes, we've got a great show
lined up for you tonight.

Stick around because the only
voice in my head is saying,

you're a winner, baby.

Welcome to
Masterqueef Theater.

In the 1950s,
Hollywood couldn't portray

same-sex desire on screen.

Filmmakers relied on
subtle imagery and innuendo

to convey sexual tension.

Tonight's film,
"Lipstick Lovers,"

exemplifies this delicate
art of suggestion.

Hey, gorgeous.

Say, aren't you the gal
I've seen working

the makeup counter
at the five and dime?

You must have me confused
with somebody else.

I'm no cheap drugstore tester,
giving it away for free.

Let's start over.

I didn't catch your name.

Ruby Rose,
but my friends call me Red.

I'm Butch.

I can see that.

I'll admit, I haven't
dabbled much in makeup.

Mm.

I can see that too.

But there's
something about you

that makes me wanna
pull your top off,

give your bottom a twist,

and spread you all over
my lips.

Are you sure your
girlfriend won't mind?

Girlfriend?

Plum Passion.

I recognized her on your collar

the moment I walked
in this joint.

Plum?

I picked her up
at the dollar store.

She was cheap and available.

I haven't seen her in ages.

Who are you calling cheap?

Plum!

I thought I lost you
in the ladies room

at the bowling alley.

You did.

I fell behind the toilet, but
you were too drunk to notice.

I was stuck there
till some chick

picked me up and took me home.

I've been rolling
around the bottom

of her nasty purse for weeks.

I'm sorry, Plum.

Who's this?

Red.

I can see that.

I meant, what she's
doing here with you?

We were just about to
go back to Butch's place.

Oh, you think because
you're from some fancy

department store that
you're better than me?

At least I've never
been tested on animals.

Ah!

By the way, wasn't your shade
discontinued, Grandma?

Oh!

Ladies, stop.

I have the lips
for the both of you.

Shut up, Butch.

Yeah, it's all your fault.

She's not worth it.

You two-timing lying hussy!

Let's go, Red.

I know a gloss
who's into layering.

Ooh.

Now that I like to see.

And now our
musical guest, RuPaul!

It's Queen News Network.

Good evening.
I'm Ciara Myst.

And I'm Briar Blush.

Our top story tonight, the
Olympic Committee has announced

a new sporting event
for the LA 2028 Olympics,

including flag football,
squash,

and for the
West Hollywood athletes,

full contact pickle chugging.

Plane Jane is favored
for the gold.

Following in the footsteps
of the Elf on a Shelf,

a new holiday tradition
is sweeping the country.

It's Dawn on the Lawn.

Scientists have discovered
a new beauty technique

to make lips fuller
without injections.

Unfortunately, it was
sadly halted when they just

realized it was just Ciara Myst
after a very, very busy night.

That was in the name
of science.

Moving on.

A recent study shows that
education about LGBTQ+ issues

creates healthy relationships
between queer

individuals and their parents.

Here to comment is my mom.

Oh, hi!

Thanks for being here, Mom.

So tell us what
you've been up to.

Well, dear, I wanted
to educate myself,

so I started
at the LGBT Center.

Oh.

Not a mom in sight, but
there was a group for daddies.

And I figured parents
are parents, so I joined.

Oh, dear.
I'm almost afraid to ask.

Well, let me just say first,

they are the nicest bunch
of dads.

There's Mark the athlete.

He's into water sports.

Fred the delivery guy,
he struggles

with extra large packages.

Poor dear.

And then there's Al, who
everyone calls Prince Albert.

Great mustache.

He gave me these cute
leather bracelets.

Oh, my God, Mom!

I'm not sure
this is the support group

you were looking for.

Well, sure it is.

We also talk about forming
meaningful connections.

Oh, well,
that sounds important.

First, we start with
role playing and poppers.

And not the jalapeno kind
I make for parties.

Mrs. Myst, do you have
any takeaways you'd like

to share from your experience?

It's been wonderful
to find community.

In fact, the gang is having
a big bang this weekend.

We should go,
they're serving stuffed pigs.

No, Mom, no!

What?
We can do the poppers, honey.

My Mom, everyone.

That's the news.

Good night and good tuck.

Thank you, Michelle.

You can take five.

Hi, I'm Michelle Visage.

And before I made it into
show biz, a lot of people

don't know that
I had a promising career

in office supplies.

The lessons I learned there,
well, they really stuck.

So you're the new secretary,
Michelle Shupack?

I go by Visage now.

Okay, kid,
first things first.

Your proportions are fine,

but you gotta stop relying
on that body.

I'm dressed like
my idol, Madonna.

Well, in the working world,
we need versatility.

I'm gonna need to see more.

What do you mean?

Sweetheart, this is the
Olympics of office supplies.

Your hair could be bigger.
- Oh.

And this?

It's basically a corset
with a little piece of fabric.

Oh, so should I wear
this green number?

No. You and green, gag.

I think your color is
more leopard print.

Anything else?

Well, here's a tip.

When anybody asks a question,
answer with a double entendre.

Make it dirty or funny.

Follow my lead.

Hi, Ronnie.

Whatcha packing?

Who's the new chick?

She puts the ass in assistant
and loves to take dictation.

Hi.

So, Michelle,
how's your letter head?

No complaints.

Atta girl.

Now, Ronnie,
take a little spin for us.

Yeah, Ronnie,
take a little spin.

Category is certified male.

He could put that
package in my slot.

Oh, my sticky note
just got stickier.

Look at you!

You're getting the hang of it.

Now he could give me
a hole punch.

- Two holes?
- All three.

He can put the cream
in my coffee.

Creamer,
I don't even know her.

Okay, that was a stretch.

Fine. Whatever.

This is just a temp job anyway.

Someday, I'm gonna be a star

with the number two song
in the country.

Plus, I got moves.

Oh, yeah. Uh.

Go, Visage.

Give it.

Well, look at that.

It's break time.

Come on, Ronnie, I'm due
for a delivery in the rear.

And two words.

Boob job.
- Oh!

'Cause it takes two
to make a thing go right.

I gotta write that down.

Thank you for watching.

Good night, everybody.

All right.

New day!

We just filmed
"RDR Live" yesterday,

and so today, we get to
figure out what the judges

actually think about it.

This was our first
acting challenge.

I feel like this was the test
of who can create a character.

That's what I was
a bit nervous about.

The voice?

The voice.

I was like, hmm,
was that a smart choice?

I think she's second guessing
what she did with her voice,

which it was an odd choice
to...

Take the voice down here.

Girlfriend.

What the fuck?

Are we in a damn
'80s porn video?

What is happening?

So your little secretary.

How are you feeling?

Well, first when he
announced the challenge,

I was like, oh, shit.

Acting's not in my
wheelhouse, per se.

No, you slayed it.

I'm feeling a little gray

in the sense that I don't know
where I'm going

to land in this challenge.

But I tried to be
as confident as I could

because I'm next to
a powerhouse actor.

I kind of feel like I'm the
weaker performer of the two.

Thank you for all
your help yesterday.

That was like--it really
got me in the zone.

It was like one of those life
rafts, throwing into the water.

Like, sister, I got you.

Yeah, I think we
did a fantastic job.

We had them laughing.

You ate that role.

You ate that role.

I feel like
I hit all my marks.

We had people laughing.

I think I have a very good shot
at winning this challenge.

Listen, you Inner Saboteur.

I'm gonna kill you.

- How are we feeling?
- I feel good.

Working with Briar
was a little stressful,

but I'm feeling really
confident about

who I was on stage.

I tapped into my
inner Diane Keaton.

I think I did great.

Briar was over here
doing something,

trying to be my Inner Saboteur.

I've learned to ignore her.

So hopefully,
she did a good job.

I had a good time.

It was really fun for me.

I mean, I bully you
every single day.

And to be encouraged
to do so, it felt good.

Me and Athena both feel pretty
good about where we're landing

with this sketch,
but it's up to the judges

to decide who should have
been actually confident.

Today, I'm feeling...

extremely in my head.

Are you okay?

I'm losing my mind
today a little bit.

I worry that I didn't do well.

And then I worry
that if I did do well,

that everybody's
gonna be upset.

I know I killed the challenge.

I feel almost guilty
for doing well again

because I know the way it's
gonna affect my relationships

with the other girls
in the competition.

Being strong
and being a good competitor

means people will be jealous.

Everybody's gonna be
so irritated with me

if I get in the top again.

Jane is stressing
herself out because there's

a lot of pressure when you are
clearly an early frontrunner.

And I think she's probably
feeling the pressure

about having to
constantly live up to that.

And this is like--
this is so embarrassing.

No it's not.

You've told me from the
jump that you don't want

anyone to hate you,
and I don't think

anyone's gonna hate you.

You should be
proud of yourself.

We're proud of you.

Briar and Juicy
are being very sweet.

If you win today,
I'm gonna be the first person

to say congratulations.

- Thank you.
- Hello.

It's very sweet to see
this side of Briar

because she's sort of hides
behind being kind of a butthead

and liking to poke people,

but she's really
kind of a sweetheart.

That could be like,
you're a booger.

No, exactly.

For today's look,
this is my first time

serving you a full face
prosthetic on the runway.

How often do you
do prosthetics?

Pretty often, actually.

It's one of the things that I
think sets me apart in my drag.

I had worked previously
as a special effects

makeup artist for years.

I've worked as
a prosthetic makeup artist

for over 14 years.

Some of my work can be seen
on FX's "The Gifted,"

on "Dynasty," and on several
other Marvel productions.

One of my favorite parts about
drag is being a spectacle.

I love the ability
to transform into anything

with prosthetic makeup.

I think there's actually a lot
of queerness in that,

this idea of reinvention
and transformation.

I like bringing it out
and mixing it in.

That's what's so fun
about drag is infusing

all the parts of who we are
outside of this together,

and the different jobs
that we've done.

Yesterday,
doing a news segment--

I used to work for a news team.

I went to school for computer
graphics and forensic science.

I've worked for
the Secret Service.

Oh, my God.

I've worked in makeup.

I've worked in film, so like--

So you've been fired a lot.

No.

Miss Vita, you look crazy.

Coming from you?

White face?

Yeah, Vita, my culture
is not a costume.

Oh, my God.

♪ Cover girl,
put the bass in your walk ♪

♪ Head to toe ♪

♪ Let your whole body talk ♪

Are you applauding the fact
that I can still walk?

Yes!

Welcome to the main stage
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

She's the funniest bitch
I know, Michelle Visage.

Funny how?

Like I'm a clown?

I amuse you?

Ayo.

We're going live
in three, two, one.

It's Ts Madison.

Is it on? Is it on?

Is this bitch recording?

And the totally twisted
Sarah Sherman.

Ru, normally I work alone,
but tonight,

I brought little Sarah.

Say hi.

Hiya, Sarah.

It's so cute.

This week we challenged
our queens to get

totally sketchy on "RDR Live."

And tonight, on the runway,
category is animal attraction.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best
drag queen win.

Category is animal attraction.

Up first, Discord Addams,
Albino Alligator.

Albino, she better do.

I am wearing the alligator
skull on my shoulder.

I have a handbag that
is literally my face.

I am an animal carrying
a human handbag.

You cannot take
your eyes off of me.

And the eyes of my handbag

cannot take their eyes off of
you.

See you later, alligator.

In a while, crocodile.

Mia Starr is Pink Poodle.

Stop trying to
make fetch happen.

This look is an homage
to my beautiful son, Zion,

the best goldendoodle
in the world.

I made sure to have
my afro puffs as my ears,

as my titties, as my
booty cheeks, and my tail.

I feel real pussy,
even though I'm a dog.

In the pink poodle clurb,
we all fam.

Mandy Mango.

Oh, "deer."

Ru, I think she found this
on the side of the road.

She is on her way
to visit the watering hole

of the forest,
greet her subjects.

My vibe for this runway
is giving less

of that high energy kookiness.

I wanna play it
a little more "doe-mure."

Ladies and gentlemen,
Lyme disease.

Darlene Mitchell, Cow.

Hey, Mr. Holstein.

Moo!

I've got my cowboy hat,
my little ear tag,

milk just in case
I get thirsty,

and to cap it all off,
I've got hooves for heels.

Country, cunty, and camp.

This cow, all of them.

Oh, I can see her Angus.

Athena Dion, White Barn Owl.

Baby, she don't give a hoot.

In Greek mythology,
the goddess Athena

is represented in nature
by the owl.

There are tassels.
There are stones.

There's more feathers.

I have a face-kini.

I mean, literally,
more is more.

"Owl" have what she's having.

Briar Blush, Swan.

Go jump in a lake.

Swan Lake.

Swans are one of
my favorite birds.

I actually have a black swan
tattooed on my chest.

But I chose to be a white swan
because white swans

are loving and beautiful,

but they're also
a little vicious.

While you're down there,
why don't you

sing a few bars of "Swanee"?

Vita VonTesse, Zebra.

She's wearing ze panties
and ze bras.

I am a zebra on the plains
of the Serengeti,

minding my own business,
eating bugs and dirt

or whatever the hell zebra eat.

Out of nowhere,
this big-ass lion attacks me,

and I'm just trying
to run, honey,

be as pretty and as dainty
as I can.

Baby, they can't get
a good zebra down.

She's headlining
at the Oasis.

Nini Coco, Poison Dart Frog.

I heard her favorite music
is hip hop.

Are you gagging or is that
just a frog in your throat?

I made the entire
frog suit myself.

The entire look is
a structural masterpiece.

I've even got this
pink little noisemaker

to catch flies if I need to.

Oh!

She's not gay, she's not
straight, she's amphibious.

Kenya Pleaser, Tiger.

Where's her Tiger Wood?

I chose a Tiger because
tigers are fierce, bitch.

But not just any tiger,
you don't have to make it

real Blackity
Black Black Black.

I'm a pimp tiger from
around the way, bitch.

I'm giving them
the nastiest walk.

My Naomi Campbell arm
was swinging.

That's how you sell a garment,
ladies and gentlemen.

There's a tiger and
a little sugar in her tank.

Ciara Myst, Chameleon.

Leapin' lizards!

I love building a visual
statement piece in my drag.

I'm wearing
a 10-foot-long tongue,

and I'm modeling this tongue
like it is the most glamorous

boa you've ever seen.

I feel powerful.

I feel freaky.

This look is a beast,
literally.

No fly is safe.

No.

Jane Don't, Macaw.

Macaulay Culkin.

I didn't wanna do a super
obvious representation,

so I'm giving an abstracted
macaw, taking the essence

and transferring it
into a look.

I think one of my strengths
is my sense for color,

and I am just floating
down this runway.

Polly want a cracker.

I know I'm starving.

Myki Meeks, Cheetah.

Anyone here
danced at Cheetah's?

I'm doing a Mugler
reference of the cowgirl,

but with a cheetah print.

I got Cheetah from my hat
down to my chops,

and I got a lasso tail to
ring up all the other

pesky felines out there.

I am pumping this runway

like the speedy
little Cheetah I am.

I don't know what
you're doing, darling,

but you're doing it at the
Cheetah, you ain't a dancer.

Juicy Love Dion, Pangolin.

A scaly anteater.

She better lotion up, baby.

This runway look
includes 5,000

individually cut
and placed scales.

I feel like this look is
grand, but not costumey.

It's a work of art.

Tipping the scales
with gorgeousness.

Welcome, queens.

When I call your name,
please step forward.

Discord Addams.

Mia Starr.

Athena Dion.

Nini Coco.

Ladies, you are safe.

Whoo!
RuPaul just called four safe.

I'm not one of them.

I'm looking at Juicy like,
girl, I think we got it.

Kenya Pleaser,
Ciara Myst, Myki Meeks.

Ladies, you are also safe.

Oh.

Well, don't I look a fool.

You may leave the stage.

Queens, you represent the tops
and bottoms of the week.

Now it's time
for the judges' critiques,

starting with Mandy Mango.

This look on the runway--
I love the idea.

The skirt, the way you
draped it is beautiful.

I love the mushrooms.

Could've had more
mushrooms, even.

But as I watched
the sketch, you being

an Amish conservative woman
should have continued to play

throughout the whole skit.

Because there's
so much to be done

with an Amish
conservative character,

that's where the comedy was.

As much as Darlene was
giving crazy rocker white trash

person, you needed to
give us demure kind of

fundamentalist instead
of ripping open your blouse

and doing that.

I liked the
titties popping out.

That's just me.

And what does
little Sarah have to say?

What was that?

She said there could
have been a third titty.

I really had fun
with this challenge.

I love any opportunity to go
balls to the wall bonkers.

But I'm hearing
your points of,

I should have paid more
attention to the character

and to my partner.

All right, thank you.

Up next, Darlene Mitchell.

Indiana's really coming out
of you in this competition.

Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

You walked out on the
runway tonight in this outfit,

and I was like, move, bitch!

It gave very rich wagyu, honey.

That's the expensive meat.

I loved you in the sketch.

It's so fun to watch
someone who's having fun.

And I could feel you
finding more fun

things as they were happening.

There was so many nuances
and so many fun things

that every time I looked
over at you, I was laughing.

Two-handed.

You were just as dirty
as you needed to be,

and I loved every minute of it.

You redeemed yourself
from last week.

I'm very proud
of you this week.

There's only
one glaring mark.

You are wearing flats.

That is the only glaring mark
on your magnificence tonight.

Thank you.

Up next, Briar Blush.

This outfit is gorgeous.

I was in awe watching
the feathers just

float away when you were
walking down the runway.

So you got the really fun
role of the Inner Saboteur.

There was an opportunity
missed with it.

It was one note.

You've grown out.

And flat.

You didn't go anywhere with it.

And if it was me, I would
have been a little bit

maybe crazier,
nastier, just to really

bring out the contrast
between someone

and their inner saboteur.

We needed more
of a relationship

between the two of you.

And then, we got to the
QNN News and I was like, no.

More.

You're a drag queen.

Give me more.

It wasn't really exciting
until Jane came out.

Vita VonTesse.

I'm Butch.

I loved the idea
of the character,

but I felt instantaneously
like you didn't

believe what you were saying.

Acting is reacting, and acting
is just talking and being,

and that's what
I felt like was missing.

I picked her up
at the dollar store.

And I think you were
doing yourself a disservice

by getting caught up, making
sure that you were delivering

the lines as written,
instead of giving yourself

the opportunity to
have fun, being present

with your scene partner.

Now, this outfit, girl,

I'll ride you all the way
to Africa and back.

But it looks like you've
already been mounted, honey.

Your body looks great in it.

Reminds me of
Kennedy Davenport's

wounded chicken thing.

And this is really,
really beautiful.

All right, up next,
some girls do, but Jane Don't.

This look is beautiful.

And the way that
you painted your face and it

complements the entire outfit--

I just gagged when you were
coming down the runway.

In the QNN News, you were
the breath of fresh air

that that skit needed.

And I thought you did
such a spectacular job.

You gave us the very
best Minnesota mom,

and you were really good
at just going with it.

You're coming
for my job, I see.

Oh, my God.

That was amazing.

As someone who does that
on "Saturday Night Live,"

like I said, I'm gonna need
to take some notes today.

I've become the student.

You were really confident
and really funny.

It was awesome.
- Thank you.

You know what you
came here to do,

and I'm very, very excited
to watch how you

keep going in this competition.

Lovely.

Up next, Juicy Love Dion.

Personally, I think
you were in the best

sketch of the night.

And it might have something
to do with the fact

that it was called
Young Michelle.

But to be honest,
I thought you felt

very strong in your stance.

You were very present.

Atta girl.

So many times when
people do a crazy accent,

that's their one choice
for a character.

But you had physical choices.

You had subtle choices.

It was awesome.

The thing that really sold me
was how you held your body.

You're the new secretary.

There was a certain
pose that you did.

You pulled it off beautifully.

I wanna tell you this.

If they ever invited my
ghettois ass to the Met Gala,

I would wear that.

Everything about it
is gorgeous.

And it already has my butt,
I just need to drag

the thing on the ground.

And why a pangolin?

It's a critically
endangered animal

and it's traded all over the
world because of their scales.

I've always wanted to be
a veterinarian growing up,

and so when this category
came up, I said, perfect.

I wanna shine light
on a beautiful animal.

Well, from this day on, I
will stop freebasing pangolin.

Thank you, RuPaul.

Thank you, queens.
I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

All right, kids, just between
us squirrel friends,

what do you think?

Starting with Mandy Mango.

She could have
been so demure.

She could have
leaned into it more.

I feel like she was one note.

I think Mango has
a very odd perspective that

she hasn't been able
to fully execute or apply

to things outside
of her own brain.

It certainly did not work in
the butter churning storyline.

Darlene Mitchell.

Listen, she did it
for me tonight.

I don't want her to get
stuck in that biker trash

all the time, but it worked for
her and that butter churning.

She was so funny
in the sketch.

The hooves,
though not heels, were funny,

so laughs all around for me.

Briar Blush.

As the inner saboteur
to Athena,

she missed it completely.

The boat came, docked,
and left without her.

No highs and lows.

Did the same thing
over and over.

She could have had so much fun,
and she did not deliver.

And that one tone
carried through to the QNN.

There's so many
girls out there tonight

that have such
a distinguishable vibe,

and I couldn't quite clock
a vibe, if that makes sense.

All right, let's talk
about Vita VonTesse.

With comedy,
you're watching someone walk

a very dangerous tightrope.

And I could tell that she was
a bit nervous and skittish.

You could tell this is
not a comfort zone for her.

Because I felt
like she was just

saying the words...

Like this to say the words.

She chopped it up too much
because she didn't believe it.

Jane Don't.

She owned that
whole character.

She owned the scene.

I was so impressed that
she has so many dimensions

and sides to herself.

She looked insane.

She looked like
Mork from Ork meets

Sharon Glass
in "Queer As Folk,"

and I absolutely adored it.

Juicy Love Dion.

She chose a pangolin?

Not in a million years would
anybody else, in any season,

chose a pangolin.

And she's painted beautifully.

She was spectacular.

I thought she was
so great in the sketch,

and she was clearly
having fun with the people

in the sketch with her.

I was so lost
in her character.

And I love you, Michelle,
but I love this lady even more.

Me too.

I see Jean getting
her own sitcom spin off.

I really do. She's fantastic.

Please cast me.

All right, silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Darlene Mitchell, this week,
you churned it out.

Jane Don't, this week,
you delivered loud and proud.

Juicy Love Dion, this week,
you were one boss bitch.

Juicy Love Dion...

condragulations,
you're the winner

of this week's challenge.

Thank you, guys.
Thank you so, so much.

O-M-G!

You've earned
a cash tip of $5,000.

Work.

Good job, babe.

Did I just win
a comedy challenge?

I can't believe it.

So you're the new secretary.

I'll never stop saying it now.

Mandy Mango, your butter
could have been better.

Briar Blush, your inner
saboteur got the best of you.

Vita VonTesse,
your Butch was botched.

Vita VonTesse...

you're safe.

You may join the other girls.

Mandy, Briar,
I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

My heart is beating
so hard and so fast.

I know I slayed
the lipstick last time.

I know what I gotta do.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last
chance to impress me

and save yourself
from elimination.

The time has come for you

to Lip Sync for Your Life.

Regardless of how I feel
about the challenge,

my mission right now is
just to win the lip sync.

Good luck,
and don't fuck it up.

Thank you very much.

Next time on
"RuPaul's Drag Race"...

You and your bestie
will design showstopping looks

inspired by a mashup
of two red carpet moments.

I just fucking made
the biggest mistake ever.

Well, I'm fucked.

I love the stripes!
