Previously on
RuPaul's Drag Race.

For your first maxi
challenge, you'll pay tribute

to all the scrappy
queens that came before you.

By using their leftover
treasures to create your
own signature drag look.

Nini Coco.

Literally.

I will wear this outfit outside.

Vita VonTesse Starr.

The way you have that
one umbrella piece is
so pleasing to the eye.

Kenya Pleaser.

It just looks sloppy.

It looks lopsided.

Mandy Mango.

It's just a little too messy.

Oh, my God, I hate it.

Kenya Pleaser, Mandy Mango.

You are the bottom
queens of the week.

But.

No one is going home tonight.

Nini Coco,

Vita Von Tesse Starr.

You are the top
two queens of the week.

Nini Coco, condragulations.

You're a winner, baby.

Yes, sister.

We just survived the
first challenge of season
18, and nobody went home.

Congratulations, ladies.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

How did that feel?

The first lip sync
of the season.

Girl.

The adrenaline is so high, it
kicks in, and it's so surreal.

And you won, girl.

Congratulations.

Yes, Congratulations.

How does it feel to
win after most of the
girls counted you out?

It is Water off a
duck's back, baby.

These girls are
letting me know that

they don't think I
necessarily should have won.

But I'm not trying
to impress the other girls.

My goal is to impress
the judges and take the crown.

Jane, you were
kind of impressed.

Miss Jane.

Girl.

I mean, it is what it is, girl,
but what should it have been?

Oh.

I mean, at the end
of the day, this

country's still going to
see your exposed bra straps.

I think my look
was stronger than Nini's.

I look at Nini's dress and
I go, that's a pine cone.

Mandy and Kenya.

Did you think you were
gonna have to lip sync tonight?

GirI, was ready, bitch.

I was like, let's twirl.

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Jesus.

I escaped the bottom two
by a hair of DD Fuego's
chinny chin chin.

That was a predicament I
did not want to be in

ever again in this
competition because I
plan on staying around.

I mean, we're only
gonna go up from here.

Better watch out.

Cause once we start
getting into the performance

challenges of it all,
that's my really strongest suit.

I cannot wait to
see how this turns out.

Let's get out of drag, bitch.

How are you feeling
after all that?

I feel fine.

It's no tease, no shade.

And I get that we're
all gunning for the same crown.

It's right out of the gate, so
insecurities are on display.

Everybody's going to
speak on it, whether or
not it was solicited.

Sure.

And I'm like, speak away.

We all survived the first week.

But, honey, somebody's
got to go home.

You want some of that, baby?

Is that what you want?

Is that what you want, baby?

The herd has to
start thinning out.

His survival of
the fittest, honey.

And if you ain't
fit, pack your shit.

The winner of RuPaul's
Drag Race will snatch an

official makeup
collaboration with Anastasia
Beverly Hills Cosmetics, and

a cash prize of $200,000,
courtesy of RuPaul's Drag

Race match Queen, with
extra special guest
judge Dove Cameron.

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning!

It's a new week in the workroom.

Someone is still going to have
to be the first one to go.

Although I am loving
these girls, it's time
to get them on out.

And. and. Bitch,

that don't include me, okay?

I think we have such
a strong collection of queens.

I think it's so fabulous
seeing so many different
points of view in drag.

And it's a much
more mature season two.

Now, hold on.

Yeah.

Why did you say,
like, it's a bad thing?

Girl, it's giving geriatric.

We're waking up
popping Bonviva and Advil.

Honey, you don't know.

Girl.

She already had hers.

Let's go, Mother.

Ru rule number 72.

Everyone has a voice, but not
everyone deserves a microphone.

T Shit.

We're about to sing.

Hello.

Hello, hello.

Hi.

Good morning, Ladykins.

- Good morning, Ru.
- Good morning, Ru.

Now, this season is just
getting started, and
I am ready to plop off.

Now, for this week's
maxi challenge,

you'll be performing
in "3Q" pop girl groups.

The "Q" is for" Quintessentially
Queer and Queenie".

The first Q Pop
track is "Funk Almighty", a

disco fantasy inspired by the
legendary superstar Sylvester.

The next track is "Go
, Go, Go", a high energy

bop inspired by the
iconic 80s band Wham.

And the third track
is "Cherries", a total banger

inspired by the all
female rock band, the Runaways.

- Yeah.
- Yes!

All right, now, Nini
and Vita, as last week's

top two, you each
get to pick your groups.

Ooh, very good.

And the queens that you don't
pick will form a third group.

Assume the position.

All right, Nini, you
get to choose first.

I'm going for the win.

And so if it's gonna
hurt some feelings, it's
gonna hurt some feelings.

Mia Starr.

Mia Starr, the choreographer
extraordinaire.

Bitch, you're on my team.

Vita.

Your turn.

Briar.

My first choice was
Briar because I know
she's a show director,

so I know she'll be
good with facilitating and
getting the girls together.

All right.

Nini.

Misty.

Ooh.

Drink it up, bitch.

Vita, darling.

Let's make it wet and Juicy.

Little old me.

I'm feeling a little Myki Meeks.

I do.

Still waiting to be
picked any minute.

Discord.

Yes.

All right, Nini, this
is your final pick.

Athena is giving both
me and Vita eyes, that

if you don't pick me,
I'm going to be pissed.

The problem is, Athena
is Grand Dame Diva down.

She doesn't seem
like a team player.

Let's take a trip to Kenya.

Come on, baby.

Oh, my God, honey.

You pleased me after all, honey.

All right, Vita, this
is your last pick.

Miss Jane.

Yay.

Thank fucking God.

Well, shit.

Athena is plucked like a fresh
feather off a chicken's ass.

And that means DD Fuego,
Darlene Mitchell, Mandy Mango,

and Athena Dion, you
will be the third group.

So excited.

Now, you all need to write
and record your own verses.

Then each group will be
in charge of the look and
their own choreography.

Now, I'm going to leave
you with the 3Q pop

tracks and let y'all decide
which group gets which song.

Oh, shit.

Oh, and one more thing.

This week, there will be
a lip sync for your life,

and one of you
will be eliminated.

Gag.

Now I have to slay
these bitches and show them what

they missed out on by
not putting me on their team.

Racers, start your engines.

And may the best drag queen win.

Oh, my goodness.

Let's get into it, girls.

And. go.

There's "Go, go, go".

The 80s BOP.

And then we have "Cherries
", the punk rock banger.

Oh, fuck, no.

And there's "Funk Almighty"
, the disco track.

Cute.

Look, you got choreo
already, Athena, just like

you used to do
in the depression, girl.

I want disco.

I love to whack and I
love to bring out that funk.

So I'm like, this
is my moment to shine.

Okay, ladies, so
now that we've heard

everything, let's talk
about what we like.

Yeah, well, let's go first.

Absolutely.

Let's go first.

I think that since
the two of you guys

have done a lot
of choosing already, and I

think we haven't had
our voices heard yet, so

I think we should
be able to choose firt.

Yes.

Your voice has
been heard, sister.

You picked the teams,
we picked the song.

So what are you guys
leaning towards?

The disco.

What about the other group?

We would like to
play with Disco.

Clearly we're the disco team.

Everyone wants disco.

It's the obvious choice.

RuPaul loves disco.

We all have a
disco costume in our suitcases.

Discord, do you also want
to do disco like your teammates?

Obviously, I want the punk song.

Yeah, you're meant
for it, I think.

I write lyrics for punk
bands, so, like, I know
I could help everybody.

Guide us vocally
through punk songs.

Discord, shut up.

But whatever they choose,
I will be happy with.

Okay, so we are.

Disco?

No, that's not decided.

How do you feel about the bop?

As these two groups
are going at it,

I look to Mia, I look to
Nini, and all of them are like:

"Let's pick the pop bop."

So that's awesome.

We're gonna go ahead
and take the pop.

No, you're not going to
go ahead and take anything.

No, you will not take
anything until we decide
who's taking disco.

Because if they take
the pop song and

they take disco, then
we end up with punk.

And no, you do not want
to see DD Fuego do punk.

I'm not going to be like:

For what?

You don't want to see that.

Okay, well, that means
we're going to be

here all day because
we're not taking punk.

Why can we not choose our song?

Because you're the leftovers.

We're not the fucking leftovers.

You're the leftover.

See, now you're
crossing into territory.

We're going to do disco
because that was so rude.

So why are you
going to get disco?

Because we should
have something here.

Vita.

Vita is not backing down.

Athena is not backing down.

So I just take Vita's
hands and I say, sister,

we have a winning team,
so just let them have disco.

Let's just take the punk one.

Let's give them disco.

- We'll turn the punk one out.
- I can turn it out for us.

Actually, you can have
disco because it seems
like you need it more.

Disco was my era, so
I'm just going back to
my childhood right now.

Totally.

At the end of the day,
I'm actually really
happy that I got punk.

It's all part of my plan.

So Nini's team is doing Wham.

Y'all will do disco and
we will do the punk song.

Thank you for fighting.

Go, team, go.

I love the disco track.

It just screams queer joy.

It screams empowerment.

Let's go, girls.

And I think the way I'm feeling
in this competition, I need

to find my inner strength
and really put it
all into this challenge.

Okey, girlies.

All right, guys.

I know that everyone except
for me really wanted disco.

But see, here's the thing.

You have to be very strategic
going into these things.

What people don't know
about me is that

I actually have a
background in, like, punkish.

So I'm very drawn to this.

Honestly with picking the songs.

I really, really wanted punk.

However, I knew Athena
wasn't gonna let me
really get what I wanted.

So they wouldn't
expect us to do good.

So I think we're gonna kill it.

I hear the punk group
and Vita is playing
chess with these girls.

She wanted punk
this entire time.

I think she just
wanted to piss Athena off.

Should we get to writing?

Yes.

Originally, I wanted
the disco track.

However, we've ended
up with the punk

song and I am
familiar with this world.

I used to manage punk bands.

I was an intern
at a record label.

So I have been this
woman in a past life.

What do you have?

Well, I have.

I think, mine mostly done.

I'm able to write
my verse pretty quickly,

and then I set
about to helping my group.

"You want my berries?"

"Well, get in line."

"Cause I run."

I need to fix a temple.

Juicy has some ideas, but
I don't think she quite

knows how to put them
in the structure of a song.

Maybe save this, right?

Save that little block
and then move it down.

So.

"I run through
guys like a 9 to 5.

Clocking in for work.

Yes, it's party
time or something".

Or something.

Cause you're the party princess.

Jane.

There you go.

And it's nine to five.

Yeah, I love it.

Do you want to help
me make my lyrics more fun?

Sure.

Discord is asking
me for help, which

is crazy, because.

Bitch, aren't you the
one of the punk band?

I ain't no chicken,
but I got that cock.

Briar in the room.

What?

Briar in the room, got
you hard like a rock.

Oh, my God.

I mean,

Maya Angelou wishes.

The 80s is totally my vibe.

Let's serve some fun and camp
and just, like, give it to them.

I am no stranger to "Wake Me Up
Before You Go-Go", an 80s anthem

about queer empowerment,
fun with friends, and

I am excited for us to Go-Go-Go.

We need to be vibrant and
proud queer people that we are.

Oh God.

You need a lemon girl.

Are you gonna be able to sing?

Even from last week,
my voice is still.

- From the scream.
- You think it's about that.

I do have experience
singing, but after last
week's screaming challenge,

my voice has been
coming in and out,

so I'm kind of freaking out.

So I've got to figure
out what my voice can do
and where it can plug in.

Oh, man.

It's just my fucking voice.

You're good.

Okay.

You've got this.

Fuck.

I'm not saying it was karma.

It's just a little
bit ironic, don't you think,

that you didn't pick
the goddess Athena and then.

poof!

You have no voice.

I'm very used to being
the underdog, and
I feel that for us.

I think they're
going to underestimate us.

Yeah, we're going to
prove some people wrong.

The group right now
is feeling tense.

Everybody is in their head
because no one picked us.

So we're letting that
sort of bond us together.

Disco is an uplifting
genre of music.

It's about positivity,
it's about happiness.

And I think all of
us are those kind of people.

We're all happy people.

Now we're kind of
having to smile

through, like, well, girls,
let's just get along.

Oh, I love you girls.

And we're gonna
get through this.

Teamwork.

Teamwork.

Teamwork.

I don't think any
of us believe that.

Can we talk about how,
literally, like, vengeful
Athena's being right now?

Feeling funky.

I don't think she wants
to be in that group.

She's literally wrapped
in a black shroud.

How you feeling over there?

Great.

Fantastic.

Yes.

Athena, how are you feeling?

Great until you popped up here.

I'm looking at Athena,
and it doesn't seem

like she's even listening
to her group, but

it's like maybe Athena
being a massive cunt

is helping us be
a better, stronger group.

All right, ladies.

Okay, bitch.

Wow.

It is time to come up with our
Q Pop girl group choreography.

But Ms.

Mia Mia Mia is a
choreographer professionally.

So

1 and 2, 3 and 4.

Yeah?

So starting with that right leg.

Listen, I got a
playbook for our team.

This is what
I call preparation, honey.

Okay?

Get into that.

And then you're gonna

turn and then go
down that left leg.

Cool?

Very cunt.

Everybody is doing so
good at the dancing.

Ms.

Ciara gets down, honey.

She is like, okay, bitch.

We got Ms.

Myki killing it.

We have Ms.

Nini.

I'm like, okay.

I feel really good
about our group right now.

- Glam!
- Glam.

Do you want to do spacing, or

should we start with
choreography right right now?

Let's start with choreography.

We can get spacing later.

It's clear that, you
know, you're probably lead.

Obviously, we defer to
Miss Juicy Love Dion.

Miss Thing can dance
like nobody else.

Let's do right,

left, and then you
roll to the right.

There you go.

Last week, I was in the bottom,

so I'm really banking
on this performance challenge.

But not everyone in the
group is as fluid as I
would like them to be.

We do have a couple
stragglers on timing, and
I see some eyes wandering.

Five, six.

And I want the two
lines to cross.

Where am I going?

It's not that dancing
is not Discord's strong suit.

It's that.

all movement. is
not Discord strong suit.

Take our positions and
we line up here.

And then we hit our.

I'm not a choreographer.

But I'm going to have to
dig through the Rolodex
of past group numbers

that I've done because
I think right now I'm the
only hope that we've got.

We're thinking, like, disco era.

There was a lot of,
like, the fist pumping,
a lot of, like, hip work.

This is giving New Jersey, diva.

No, but, like.

Athena's very assertive.

I think we should move
on to the next chunk.

Yes.

Yeah, but let's
not rush perfection, honey.

And I can tell that kind of rubs
DD a certain way a little bit.

Cause DD also has
a number of ideas.

So start here.

Let's say.

Can we be close?

Cause we're gonna
end up separate.

It's fine, girl.

We have to take up the space.

It's giving elementary
school pageant.

I want it to be. great.

And with the step
touches we've rehearsed so far,

I have some doubts.

So let's try that.

So let's try that.

Wait, Are you going. Are we
going that way or that way?

I start with a very basic move.

Funk.

Oh, my God.

Darlene.

Short circuits.

Funk.

Nope, my body said no.

I'm feeling a little bit
like, as my mom would say,
a fart in a whirlwind.

1,

2,

3,

4.

I really do not want
to let these girls down, but.

I'm a little nervous.

Hello.

Here come "Cherries".

So now it's time to record our
song with Michelle Visage.

Say hi to our brilliant
composer, producer
David Steinberg.

Hello.

Hello!

Hello.

So, first up, we've got Vita.

Hello.

Vita VonTesse Starr.

Here we go.

I am the baddest
bitch of them all.

When they want someone fierce,
I'm the one that they call.

Do you mean that?

Are you the baddest
bitch of them all?

I am!

Show me!

I am!

Okey!

I am the baddest
bitch of them all.

When they want someone fierce,
I'm the one that they call.

- Yes, Vita.
- Yes, yes.

There you go.

More of that, please.

Fuck the prim and proper.

Baby, this is punk.

So reach down and let them
know you are the baddest
bitch in this room.

Got me on my
knees, but I ain't praying.

Just went to the clinic,
tested positive for slaying.

Fun and funny.

I don't have any notes because
I think you did it great.

Thank you.

Of course.

Miss one-take-wonder
Jane over there.

She's crushing it.

Fuck you, Jane Don't.

Hello

Hello, hello, hello!

Funk

Almighty.

Si Señorita

Let's do it.

Take one.

I feel the fuego.

It burns.

But this friendly fire feeling
builds you up every turn.

You gotta feel the fantasy.

Tell me how you're
feeling, girls.

Okay.

I love everything that
you've done, except
there's no real pitch.

I just feel like there's so
much pitch damage in there that.

No disrespect.

No, I know.

It would take so long
to get that on pitch.

Athena fell asleep.

Did you see that?

Athena is out.

Like, just

Clocked out.

Well, Darlene, are you a singer?

I definitely am not
a singer and not a

falsetto, but we're gonna throw
that Sylvester note in there.

Oh, my goodness.

But we'll see.

We'll see.

Go for it.

Here we go.

Love yourself all
through your body.

Let it flow naturally.

You went for it, girl.

Yes, she did.

She definitely went for it.

However, the notes leading
up to that, we're going
to have to find a pitch.

Okay.

Pick a note, any note.

Love yourself all through your
body Let it flow naturally.

Oh, lord.

I'm not that worried

about me.

Hello, Michelle.

Hi gorge.

Hello, team.

Go, go, go.

Kenya Pleaser

I hope I please you right now.

Me too.

Yes, honey.

I was leading the worship
group at the church,
so I can carry a tune.

If you cannot sing in a black
church, they will let you know.

Hey boys, got something
to tell ya I'm the pleaser
and I go down on ya

Timing

Hey boys, I got
something to tell ya

I'm a pleaser and
I'll go down on ya

I'm a pleaser and
I'll go down on ya.

I'm a pleaser and
I'll go down on ya

I'm a pleaser and I'll
go down on ya and you'll
never have to cry.

Why'd you got to get fancy?

Why do you got to get fancy?

You had it.

Girl, I'm so extra.

Hello, Nini Coco.

Hello, hello.

Oh, gee.

Okay.

I lost my voice in the
screaming challenge, so
I'm having some trouble.

Are we speaking, then?

Yes.

I'm gonna just go for it.

So let's see what we
can come up with, all right?

Say love and get the lights on.

You bet us.

Oh, shit.

Don't worry, don't worry.

Okay

You're gonna be fine.

We're gonna get
what we need to get

Okay

Okay?

Say love and get the lights on.

Technicolor queen
you better shine on.

Stop getting into your head.

As long as you got
some squeak coming out,
then we can use that.

Yep.

I know that Nini
is a perfectionist at

heart and this is
sending her into a spiral.

Do do.

The show must go on.

Do you want to take
a break and hot water

and then start again?

Yeah.

All right, so

switch out.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

Feel like I'm
letting my team down.

I feel like I'm
letting Michelle down.

Fuck.

Is this the thing that
is gonna knock me out
of this competition?

Can we go on with Myki?

It cannot be worse timing.

We're all on a team.

If someone voices
gone, they can't sing.

How is it gonna sound?

Child, it's no shade.

I'm freaking the fuck out.

Okay, here we go.

Let's go.

It is a brand
new day in the workroom,

and we're getting ready for our
Q-pop girl group performance.

Ciao.

It is the first elimination
of the season after last week.

Ain't gonna be me.

Ain't gonna be me.

Nini, how's your voice?

I'm not 100%, but I'm like.

I'm like 85, and
I'm feeling good.

I drank a lot of tea.

I was on vocal rest,
so I'm feeling much better.

I just hope that if I can
deliver on the performance side,

maybe they'll give
a little grace

to my recording session.

I hope.

I feel galvanized.

I feel awsome.

I'm so excited for you
this week because from last week

to 1:80, honey,

I'm ready to
shake my motherfucker titties

in front of RuPaul, honey, and.

Vita, Vita, Vita.

- You know you want to eat up.
- You know you want to eat up.

So, Didi, I know in your

entrance, you said you
grew up in Mexico.

What was Monterrey like?

Monterrey is a very

closed, tight knit community.

Some people call it like
the Beverly Hills of Mexico.

People cared a lot about
what you look like, what
do you do for a living?

So, like, the men
are expected to become

businessmen and the women are
expected to become housewives.

I don't know if it was because
I was a delusional child or

because I had very
supportive family, but I
felt like I could be myself.

From the day I arrived.

You were fuego from the get.

Yeah Yeah.

How do they say gay

in Mexico?

Gay.

Gay.

You were, like, really
wanting that punk gig.

As soon as RuPaul said:

"and we have a song based off
of the Runaways" I was like,

oh, do.

Oh, do we?

I'm also in a band,
and I play live guitar.

Oh, sick.

Yeah.

So outside of this
competition, I play guitar in

a punk band called Dame
Judy with my best friend,

and it is just so much fun.

We are able to bring drag back
to its roots of being punk rock.

I just want my music
to say something to people like,

hey, we don't have
to put up with

the bullshit that is Whatever
current administration, we're.

Push back.

Yeah, listen, queers, we're
in trouble right now.

I think drag has gotten a little

Disneyfied,

and there is a lot of drag that
doesn't say anything at all.

If I can preach to the world,
even just through music, and it

wakes people up a little
bit, I would feel really,
really good about that.

I love that

I love that.

To me, that's what
punk rock is all about.

It's calling out
the injustices in the world,
and it's making people think

about what is going
on around them instead of
just trying to escape it.

Girl.

How are we feeling, bitches?

Feeling funky, Feeling free,

Girl, I know that's not true.

Athena.

Tell us how you
really feel, bitch.

Now's your chance.

How did you feel
about not being picked?

I felt plucked,
gagged, and flabbergasted.

You're all a bunch of liars.

Oh.

There were only two people
that are actually team girls.

I'm like Nini and Vita.

Why don't you choose Athena?

Because it's the Athena show
anytime she walks in the room.

Okay.

This is a team
challenge, and I feel

like everyone that I
picked is a team player.

Oh, so you're saying
I'm not a team player?

I think that my team will agree
that I'm quite the team player.

That is true.

Athena is a good person
and a good team player.

How much were you
paid to say that?

What a good person!

She booked me a trip to Mykonos.

Because we are the
Leftovers team.

The other girls underestimate
what we can do, but our

individuality and our joy is
gonna take us to the top.

Oh, my God.

We're gonna have
our first mirror message.

Oh, my gosh.

What are you gonna say?

We're on the same
team, you bitch.

For now.

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

It's girl group night and
we have an all girl panel.

Michelle Visage.

Ooh, girl.

The fabulous Ts Madison.

Honey, the girls
are out tonight.

And she's back again.

Dove Cameron.

Hey, girl.

Hey.

The girls are doing it for who?

- - Themselves.
- Themselves

This week, we challenged our
queens to Qpop it like it's hot.

the Runway, category is:

Your neck,

I was completely

Hey, ho, lets go

Hot in a cobbler

I eat cherries, can't get enough

I eat cherries,
makes me feel tough

I eat cherries, sweet as pie

And I'll eat cherries
til the day I die

Amazing.

Initially, I was not
going for the punk.

Now I'm thinking,

Thank fucking God we
got this punk song.

We kind of turned it.

Category is:

Your neck,

your back,

your pussy.

And your crack.

A look that shows
off your favorite body part.

Up first.

Athena Dion

Her back.

This is a very
Athena Dion look that

only the richest woman
in the world would wear.

No back rolls here, honey.

The bakery is closed.

Guess who's back in the house.

The incomparable
Darlene Mitchell.

Her skin.

It has taken me a very long time
to love the skin that I'm in

But, baby, I'm here
Now this is a little

nod to that girl performing
as trash all glowed up

Tans, tans, tans
across her shoulders.

Mandy Mango.

She's presenting her face.

She is.

My face is a
portrait in a picture

frame found on my
grandma's table at her house.

I'm showcasing my beauty as
a sexy non binary individual.

What am I looking at?

It's an altar

to herself.

If you can't pray to yourself.

How in the hell you
can pray to anybody else.

Amen.

DD Fuego.

Her legs.

Nothing beats a
great pair of legs.

Uh huh.

I am wrapped in a
custom organza boa.

There she is.

I am a cotton candy
sprinkles fantasy.

Do you ever wonder
what all that gum you

swallowed as a kid looks
like in your stomach now?

It's Mia Starr.

her neck.

Back,

pussy and crack.

I'd like to keep it on, please.

There's her neck.

This represents my drag
because I'm a woman.

And I'm a hoe.

There's her back.

And when I turn around,
you get all this cat.

There's the crack.

I can't see shit, but I know
the judges only got eyes for me.

Cover girl.

Put some lace in your walk.

Kenya Pleaser.

We can try.

She's serving her everything.

Come on, flying squirrel friend.

This is the epitome
of Kenya pleaser, honey.

I give a little
titty, titty, titty.

A little ass, ass, ass.

You know, people always
tell me, girl, cover
up, cover up, bitch, no.

Beaded for her pleasure.

Yes.

Up next, Ciara Myst.

Her eyes.

The eyes are the
nipples of the face.

They're also the
gateways to the soul.

I'm featuring a body part that
I love in and out of drag.

I am making sure they get
every inch of my eyes,
all four sets of them.

I wonder what makes
her brown eye blue.

Nini Coco

her brain.

This look is very cerebral.

My brain is always
on my mind, so I'm

serving up rhinestoned brain
on a pink platter, baby.

I made the look head
to toe, from the 3D

printed cap all the way to the
beautiful structured gloves.

You say hello to
me, I say lobotomy.

Miky Meeks.

Her legs.

I'm a walking billboard.

Best legs in town.

I take off the billboard and
you see the real pair of legs.

They are prime meat, baby.

Remember, she's more than just
a great pair of legs.

Is she?

Yeah.

She's a dumb slut, too.

Perfect.

Discord Adams, her
back and her crack.

I want to look like
a rich, gaudy Italian woman.

I want Michelle to look at me
and think that we are related.

Your walk kills me.

Now starring in Gold Sphincter.

Vita VonTesse

Starr.

her butt.

Ain't no two butts about it.

Baby.

That booty is important because
I'm from Alabama, home of

everything that goes right to
that ass and makes it thick.

I'm giving vintage
Linda Evangelista.

You know what I just remembered?

What?

I haven't flossed in a while.

Briar patch Blush.

Her finger.

Michelle.

What?

How much for one finger?

Well

This Runway represents
me because it's gorgeous

and glamorous, but a
little unhinged and weird.

Which way do I go?

I don't know.

I'm gonna listen to my finger.

Let's give that finger a hand.

Some girls do,

but Jane Don't.

She's featuring her mouth.

She's speaking in
tongues again, Ru.

I had to choose the body part
that I make all my money with.

My big mouth.

It's a Carol Burnett reference,
but edgier, because my mouth,

while beautiful and
lovely, is also sometimes
a little bit deadly.

A uvula.

You don't see many of those.

You don't see many of those.

Not in Pacoima,

no.

Juicy Love Dion.

Her left leg.

Her left leg.

Her right leg is
not up for discussion.

My designer, Francesco,
and I decided to take
it a Schiaparelli route.

I had surgery on my left leg.

She recovered excellently.

And she's as strong as ever.

You know that
movie My Left Foot?

Yeah.

Well, it's a remake.

My left Leg.

Welcome, queens.

When I call your
name, please step forward.

Athena Dionne.

Darlene Mitchell.

Mandy Mango.

DD Fuego.

Team Studio 50 Whores

I'm sorry, my dears, but
you are the bottom group

of the week.

And you're all up for

elimination.

Fuck.

Mia Starr.

Jane Don't.

You are tops.

I bet you don't hear that often.

The rest of you are safe.

You may leave the stage.

Now it's time for the judges
critiques, starting with

Athena Dion.

What I love about
you is you probably are

the most draggy drag
queen in this whole season.

I love the way you paint.

It's just drag.

This look that you have tonight
is majestic, gorgeous, stunning.

I'm just very impressed.

Thank you.

I know you are the
mother of the house of Dion.

Yes, m'am.

I love the way that you opened
up the girl group as mother.

But you guys were
given funky in a way that
Sylvester would have done it.

And I didn't get that.

What you all did was
sort of belittled the
song where you made it

when the song is more soulful.

You follow what I'm saying?

I do.

Up next, Darlene Mitchell.

Darlene.

Drag is always more.

Kind of like this outfit,
it's a whole bunch
of shit going on, girl.

In the girl group, you were
like a character out of a film

that I would, like, fall in love
with and paste all over my wall.

Like, you were really a vision.

You were so stunning.

But we were missing soul,

and I think it's
because you were each

doing your own thing
to get through it.

Even if you look at,
let's say, the Spice Girls, each

has their own personality, but
they all come together in unity.

The only time I felt
sort of that wild abandon of

disco happened was when you
were holding that long note and.

It sort of had the whimsy and
the non seriousness of disco.

Did you feel that
way in performing the number?

Yes.

Cause I'm actually really

proud of myself.

I did the bar
circuit, you know, for years.

And then I became sober,
and drag became something
very personal to me.

That I just did in my own home.

It's okay.

I didn't realize how
much I missed and needed

Um, the sort of queer
joy that all of these
girls have given me.

How long have you been sober?

I've been sober for
about nine years.

Can I ask you
about the name Darlene Mitchell?

Mitchell is actually
my given middle name.

And Darlene, I feel
like, is just the perfect
mix of this, like.

Dynasty, soap opera glamour,
and also just this trash.

It is one of the
stupidest names I've ever heard.

And I love it.

It's good to see you laugh
and you are in the right place.

This is where joy happens,
and this is our addiction.

It's a good addiction.

Thank you.

Up next, Mandy Mango.

Now, as far as the disco,
your death drop saved it for me.

I really like the way that
you danced and moved around.

You had quite a lot
of energy, but the energy
level was really mismatched.

The girl group
challenge has to be

about everyone finding
an equal level together.

You were doing Fred
Snyder from the B52s.

Fred Snyder's a great friend
of mine and of this show.

It just doesn't sort of work
with the Sylvester disco thing.

Tonight on the Runway,
it looks like you are

the work of art
and people are visiting you.

Am I correct?

I'm like the table
off to the side with

all the family picture frames
and little knickknacks, ok?

It's the bottom half that
doesn't really work for me.

I don't like those
colors together.

I understand you're trying
to be like the wood.

Now that you're
telling us what it is.

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

It's interesting.

Up next, DD Fuego.

Your legs are gorgeous,
so I'm glad you

showcased them, but I think
your makeup needs dementia.

Gets very flat.

I want to get to
the disco challenge.

Girl, you were stiff as a dick.

I do agree it was
very stiff and it felt enclosed.

I really think that you boxed
yourselves in with the choreo.

I think it must
have been a misunderstanding of

what the song was and what
you were meant to do with it.

Absolutely.

She's absolutely right.

Who was the leader
of your group?

There wasn't one leader,
but especially, I think, during

the choreography section, Athena
led us through that moment.

Did you have any
input in the choreo?

I did.

I wish maybe that I pushed my

opinion more to elevate the
steam and to funk it up.

Yeah.

All right.

Thank you.

Up next, Mia Starr.

When the performance was
over, Ts and I leaned

over to each other, and
we said, that's a star.

Yep.

You were bossing
everyone around with your
energy, and I was also,

like, a little afraid of you
in, like, a really sexy way.

From the moment
you opened your mouth,

you pulled us in
as a recording artist.

You want there to
be a reason for your

voice to be recorded, and
that's what you gave us.

This look.

I think the concept
is amazing, but for me,

I like to see your
face a little bit.

I just like to see the drags.

If you're gonna give
somebody your neck, your back

your pussy and your crack,

let them look into your
eyes and give you money.

Up next.

Some girls do.

But Jane Don't.

After recording with you
and seeing what you

did, I can tell
how smart you are.

You knew just what you
wanted to do, and what
came out was pure magic.

And then this on
the Runway, Honey, it had

me over here under
the table, speaking in tongues.

You are so hilarious.

So camp.

You were a rock star.

I would put the record
back over and over so

I could hear your part because
it is completely fire retardant.

That means you
won't light on fire.

It means you won't
light on fire.

Thank you, queens.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck backstage, the
judges and I will deliberate.

All right, now,
just between us squirrel

friends, I want to
know what you think.

Let's start with Athena Dion.

I think, as
the leader, definitely
some pressure is going

to fall on her shoulders for the
shortcomings of the performance.

But she was beautiful
tonight on the Runway, she
embodied goddess to me.

Darlene Mitchell.

The way she screamed and
yodeled it drew me in.

But it was her
stiffness that kept me out.

But everything was there.

Visually, she looked like
a glamorous disco Sherry Lewis.

All she needed was
a disco lamb chop.

I would have been very happy.

Mandy Mango.

Mandy could actually
dance, and she can dance
really, really well.

However, she needs
to switch to decaf.

We absolutely needed her
to just take it

down a little bit
so she can fit in.

But her look tonight
on the Runway, when she

said that the skirt was
supposed to be wood, was

when I did my
own little Google map zoom

out, and I was like,
oh, that really doesn't read.

That really.

That really doesn't read.

If it's brown,

flush it down.

Thank you.

Let's talk about DD Fuego.

Tonight on the Runway,
I did love her legs.

I thought that
they were very handsome.

Not handsome.

I love that in her lyrics
she was talking about
"fuego", but she actually

could have gotten
really behind these lyrics

and showed us who she really is.

I saw so much
personality behind the eyes.

I think she has a fire and
she's just not expressing it.

Where is the fuego?

All right, let's move
on down to Mia Starr.

As soon as she opened
her mouth, we was like,
okay, I'm here for that.

The tone of her voice,
she branded herself with the

mamma Mia was like, ah,
this is what I want.

But here's the thing.

For me on the Runway, I would
have loved to seen her eyes.

I think her brown
eye was showing.

It was.

Jane Don't.

She really seems like
someone who knows who
she is is very confident.

She understands
what the brief is.

She understands
what her brand is.

And then on the Runway,
this is classic Seattle drag.

She even had gums on her mouth.

Everything about it
I just thought was

really well done, and
I just loved her.

All right.

Silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back. my girls.

Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Darlene Mitchell.

We love the skin you're in

now it's time to
let it all hang out.

You are safe.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

Mia Starr.

Your neck, your back,
your pussy, and you're safe.

You may join the other girls.

Yes, Mia.

Thank you.

Jane Don't.

This week, we loved your lips.

All three sets.

Condragulations.

You are the winner
of this week's challenge.

Thank you so much.

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

To have won this challenge
feels completely out
of left field, but also.

A little correct.

Thank you.

What the fuck?

Athena Dion,

you needed more
funk in your trunk.

Mandy Mango.

Your table look was. wobbly.

DD Fuego.

Your fuego was. not on fire.

Athena Dion,

you're safe.

Thank you.

You may join the other girls.

Good luck, diva.

I love you.

I love you, baby.

You do good.

Holy fuck.

Mandy.

DD.

I'm sorry, my dears,
but you are both up

for elimination.

I feel confused.

I don't know if
it's delusion, but I don't

think the team was in
the bottom because of me.

Two queens stand before me.

Prior to tonight,
you were asked to

prepare a lip sync
performance of Too Much.

By Dove Cameron.

We're experiencing the first lip
sync for your life of season 18.

In this corner, DD Fuego.

Consummate New York performer.

And in this corner, Mandy Mango.

A literal table.

And over there is Dove Cameron.

This is too much.

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.

It's my second time in the
bottom, and I very well could

be the first to go home,
and I can't let that happen.

My energy didn't match the girl
group, but, mama, I'm ready to

give a high energy number for
this lip sync for my life.

Good luck.

And don't

fuck it up.

Let's go.

Mandy is such a sweet
spirit, and I'm so Team Mandy.

So I'm like, get
that damn table off.

Trinkets are
shattering everywhere.

The table finally comes off.

That means it is now on.

Work, Mandy!

Yes, DD!

Work it!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

DD is sitting over
there looking like a loofah.

She's literally doing this.

What?

Come on, Mandy!

That was so good.

Queens.

I've made my decision.

Mandy Mango.

Shantay, you stay.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you so much.

DD Fuego.

Hasta luego.

Now sashay away.

Thank you all so much.

It's been an honor to
be here with all of you.

I love y'all.

We love you so much.

Well, it was short.

It was sweet.

I wish it had been
a little spicier.

Adiós.

I'm gagged.

I have been the
first eliminated.

I'm disappointed.

But this is just the beginning
of the dreams coming true.

The fire in DD
Fuego will keep burning bright.

It's been real, real spicy.

Condragulations, queens.

And remember, if you
can't love yourself, how

in the hell are
you gonna love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

Amen!
Amen!

All right, now,
let the music play.

Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race,
you'll be starring in RDR live.

First, we start with
role playing and boppers.

This is insanity, folks.

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

I don't act.

I don't do comedy.

What the hell did
I just get myself into?

You're coming for my job.

I see.

And I was like, no,
you are a drag queen.

Give me more.
