Original subtitles

Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race. You'll be toasting and roasting.

Alyssa Edwards.

She looks so excited to be here, but that just must be all that illegal Botox.

Discord's walk is so stiff and uncomfortable to look at.

It reminds me of Ross Matthews.

Kenya Pleaser.

We needed more laughs.

Juicy Love Dion.

Wow.

You haven't quite found your voice yet of your point of view.

Darlene Mitchell.

You swung so far.

Banana!

It wasn't about the punchline. It was about what is she going to do next?

Condragulations.

You're the winner of this week's challenge.

Juicy Love Dion, Shantay you stay.

Kenya Pleaser, sashay away.

Wow.

Kenya has just left us and I think every single one of us is feeling the loss of her.

Oh, Kenya.

Baby, I'm really, really gonna miss that lady.

Love all of you.

Good luck.

Can you take it?

Can you please her?

Oh.

I really loved Kenya.

Having Kenya's energy in the room was just something special.

She is charisma to the core and I'm absolutely going to miss her.

The question still remains.

Can you please her?

Can you please her?

And the question also remains, can you wipe that off the mirror so we can sit down?

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

You're good at this.

So talented.

I mean, you were you had you had sort of a talent at the beginning, but now we've really honed it.

Now we really worked on it.

Wow.

It's my third time lip syncing.

It's not a good thing.

The judges still not getting who I am

breaks my heart.

I'm someone that's very resilient.

And I'm going to keep fighting for myself every chance I got.

Congratulations to our winner!

Thank you.

I am on the board.

On the board. Oh boy.

I feel

galvanized.

My first win and it's the roast. That is a big one.

I won like a Drag Race staple.

I do feel like the eyes are a little different. The other girls are seeing me in the finale and that's

Darlene winning proves that you do not have to spend money on any wigs.

That is so true.

She won with a seven dollar wig.

Don't, you don't need it.

A hard front and a soft heart.

Nini, where was your head at when the judges were talking to you?

I feel like a lot of emotions for safe.

But I was in the bottom three and in the moment

I was really.

internalizing what it would mean to go home and it felt like so scary.

And I don't want to lose this.

This was my first time landing in the bottom three.

It doesn't feel good.

I got some harsher critiques than I have before.

I turned down the shade just a little bit, but the judges were like, there's still a little work on the delivery,

de-meanifying it. So,

I'm a work in progress, divas.

Maybe next time you read, smile through it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You gotta just like, you're fucking ugly.

You know, something like that.

I should smile more.

Okay, try it.

Darlene, honestly, I don't remember a single one of your jokes

besides all the props.

Damn.

Ding. Ding.

Yeah!

Yes, Nini!

I'm like, bitch, there's no more room for error.

There are less and less seats at this table.

So, whatever I need to do in this game of musical chairs to get in a seat, I'm going to do.

Banana!

Cheeseburger!

The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills

Oh yeah, a pose.

Yes.

Oh!

Banana!

Banana!

It is the top six of season eighteen. Bitch, we are here.

This feels like a milestone.

Sure.

That feels like a kidney stone.

Okay, comedy queen.

Oh my god, yeah, sorry.

Snatch game winner.

Me and Darlene are kind of the comedy queens of the season, I fear.

Wow!

Speaking of Darlene, um, I just want to put this out there that Darlene has a degree in fashion design and professionally is a

And has been looking

like that!

You got the wig and you moved that bang for twenty minutes going.

They've been wanting cuntress and baby I got it.

She already had herses.

Let's go!

Ru rule number nineteen.

Oh.

I believe the children are our future.

Teach them well

and they will steal your purse.

Oh.

Juicy's familiar with that.

Hello, hello, hello!

Howdy, cowboy!

Howdy, yeah.

Well, howdy, ladykins.

Howdy!

Howdy!

Howdy!

We're just four weeks away from the grand finale.

But this horse race ain't over yet.

In fact,

it's just heating up.

For today's mini challenge, you're going to compete in a hot to trot race.

And you'll be riding

one of these.

What what what what?

Oh, pit crew.

Yeah, boys!

Sorry, ladies, you won't be riding Chris.

But you will be riding on the horse he rode in on.

Hey!

But first, you need to giddy up and titty up

in quick lady cowboy drag.

Then we're off to the races.

Y'all ready?

Yes.

Let's go.

Pretty, pretty, pretty.

They got a size on here.

Oh my God, wait.

Oh no.

Oh no, my boobs are bouncing.

Are you customizing something?

Yes.

Did you even get anything off the table?

Wait, okay, Darlene, can I borrow a wig?

Go through the bag.

Oh, hell yeah.

Does anybody have a safety pin handy?

Discord, probably.

Hey-o!

Okay, time's up.

Saddle up, cowgirls.

Saddle up.

Ooh.

Oh, treat me well.

Welcome to RuPaul's Nag Race.

The dolls are in the stalls.

We are all looking like the nastiest county fair you have ever seen and I feel right at home.

On your mark!

Get set!

Go!

I feel like Charlie XCX with her bouncy titties.

I'm on a horse!

I don't think horses run like this, but me and my horse, we're getting some air.

Ladykins, , let's give a big old yeehaw to our winner.

Discord Addams.

I won!

This is my second mini challenge win, so uh

I think in Discord math, two minis make a maxi.

So, I'm on the board, everybody.

Condragulations, Discord.

You've won a purse of twenty-five hundred dollars.

Woo!

Honey!

Ladykins, now that you've rode 'em hard and put 'em up wet.

It's time to pay tribute to some modifying men that carry on a great American tradition.

Straight from the rodeo, please give a warm Drag Race welcome to a posse of queer cowboys.

Come on in, boys.

How's it going?

Howdy! Oh my gosh! Damn!

These are men.

Hi, boys.

Oh my goodness.

Oh.

The facial hair, the cowboy hats, the big old belt buckles.

I feel like I'm back in Texas.

Howdy, partner.

Howdy.

Howdy.

Please introduce yourselves.

Hey y'all, I'm Colton from Oklahoma.

I do horseback riding speed events because I like to ride fast and hard.

Hi, I'm Greg.

I'm from Phoenix, Arizona and I'm the current gay rodeo all around champion.

Hi ladies, I'm Michael.

I'm from Denver, Colorado and I'm the current vice president of the International Gay Rodeo Association.

How are we doing? My name is Jason from Keensburg, Colorado and I'm steer wrestler.

Howdy ladies, I'm Terry from Melbourne, Oklahoma. I'm a retired rodeo judge.

Love it.

Wow.

Howdy ladies, my name's Chris. I'm from Yale, Oklahoma.

I do roping events and I can ride anything with hair on it.

My queens, for this week's maxi challenge, you need to turn these dashing desperados

into dazzling dolls.

Ooh.

Now Discord,

Yes.

since you won the mini challenge, you get to pick your partner first. Ooh.

Who do you choose?

Well, Colton, I see those ear gauges, so I choose you.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Now Discord, you also get to pair up the rest of our cowboys and queens.

That's fun.

Uh-huh.

I think everyone in the room is a little nervous about how this could go because two weeks ago, every single

Discord.

Discord.

Discord.

Discord.

Discord.

So, I really have no idea which way she's going to play this.

Oh my gosh, there's a lot to think about here.

Discord.

You also get to pair up the rest of our cowboys and queens.

Jane.

I'm going to give you

Terry?

Get out over here, Terry.

Yeah!

I like old people.

But I feel pretty sure that Discord is giving me the person that seems to be the most obviously difficult makeover

Myki, guess I'm going to give you.

Michael.

I'm Myki.

Perfect.

Darlene, Darlene.

I'm going to give you.

Chris?

Hello.

Hello.

Can I give you a hug?

Nini Coco.

I will give you

Jason.

All right, good.

Get in there, Jason.

Oh my gosh.

Ride them, cowboy.

And that means Greg from Phoenix is paired with Juicy Love Dion.

Go on over, Greg.

Yes, Greg.

I love a hug.

Now feel free to use your own drag, plus cosmetics provided by Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Remember queens, tomorrow, Miss Madam Michelle, down at the local watering hole, is going to be looking for a

Keep that in mind.

We got it. We got it.

Racers, start your engines.

And may the best drag queen win.

So excited to have you here.

So Greg, tell me about you.

Well,

I'm from a reservation in Arizona.

Oh, that's nice.

Navajo.

Oh, I love that.

Yeah, and I've been doing rodeo since I was a little kid.

That's awesome.

How long have you been uh in the rodeo world?

So I've been in the gay rodeo world for thirty-two years.

Oh my God. That's incredible.

The gay rodeo itself has been going on for almost fifty years, if you can believe that. Rodeo is generally a heterosexual

driven sport, but we welcome everybody. It's a welcome open safe space.

All are welcome to participate.

I'm obsessed. The gay rodeo, I'm going to the next one in my giant belt buckle and ten gallon hat.

How has it been um being queer in the in the rodeo scene?

Well, in the gay rodeo it's fine, but in the regular rodeo it was.

Well, I'd say the country's like the country people are like fifty years behind.

And then having a high-pitched voice like this

come after me left and right. No worry.

Mama handled it.

Have you ever been in drag before?

No.

So basically, the looks that I have in mind is two trashy bitches in Vegas.

Um

Been there, done that.

Yes.

When I say trashy bitches, I mean

I mean.

I'm gonna look like my mother.

I'm not exactly the glamour queen, you know, and I'm like, do I need to apologize? Like is he expecting a pageant gown?

And he comes like just straight out with, he's also a trashy bitch. And I'm like, oh, this is going to be fantastic.

All the girls two weeks ago said that I should go home.

So now we have to win.

Now we extra have to win.

Why did they want you to go home?

They're mad that I get Ru's attention. They're mad that I'm pretty and they're mad that my makeup is,

in my opinion, also the best of all the girls.

Like, I would want me to go home too.

I do makeup every day back home as a makeup artist, so I put plenty of people in drag and I can make

I'm very competitive and I love competing against my friends, but I also enjoy it more when I beat these people.

Yeah.

I truly got the perfect canvas and the perfect person for me.

He has my facial features, so we are going to slay this challenge.

You seem galvanized and and ready to ready to do it.

I'm ready to tackle it.

Are you down to shave your beard?

Yeah.

Okay.

Only thing I will not let you do is shave my eyebrows.

Okay.

You have nice hair too. You have a lot of hair. You have a mullet?

Yeah.

Same.

Same.

Okay, that's Terry. We're on the same page.

We do have matching mullets.

And I know I can connect to anybody who has a mullet.

What is it like being a gay cowboy?

It's my happy place.

Yeah.

When I came out, that was one of the issues I had coming out was.

I was giving up

a way of life. And when I found there was a gay rodeo, I fell in love.

I am really sort of struck by just how nice of a guy he is, which is like making me feel kind of emotional.

This guy has led this life that is so wildly different from mine,

but he's also part of the reason that I can do what

I am doing right now and I just really want to make sure that like he has a good time doing this.

As I mentioned, this shit is a little bit painful.

No pain, no gain.

Exactly.

Exactly.

I will also probably tell you this is not the first time I've put on a dress.

What's your drag experience then?

I actually was a

host of Drag Queen Bingo in Denver.

Myki's Cowboy is a former drag queen, which like

I'm sorry, referee, like

Can we get a ruling on this? Is this allowed?

Oh.

She thick bitch.

Coming here, I and I will tell you I'm terrified of my own femininity.

I'm not scared of being gay, I'm open and all that, but you know, people. I present like that. It's very

Was it just from like childhood it was always kind of like there was that separation?

Men were men and girls were girls.

Yeah.

My cowboy Jason is somebody who for their entire life has had to hide parts of themselves for safety.

I'm learning that he was never afforded this space to express his queerness or his femininity.

I hope that through this experience we can reconnect with some of that femininity and that's the beautiful part about

I think there is a lot of fear in this moment, but Jason is so ready to learn what this workroom has to offer

pull the mask down just a little bit.

I have some sickening looks prepared for us.

It's like an homage to my culture.

You know, I want to give us like a Carmen Miranda type of vibe.

Okey.

So it's going to be very big sleeves. It's a huge train.

So, my idea for this runway is this like two-piece moment.

Arm.

Mhm.

Sorry, it's twisted.

Yes.

What am I going to wear underneath?

Um.

I don't think Juicy did the calculation

that her makeover partner probably would not be Juicy-sized.

I definitely need to cover you up some more. I want to see how.

It's a big body.

I got you, baby.

I got to adjust because I've never dressed somebody this size.

Never dressed a man before.

So, I got some work to do.

Baby.

Can we see, can we see how this headpiece looks?

I'll join you. Let me see. Hold on, one sec.

Oh my God.

See that could have been you.

Wow, Nini.

That's horrible looking.

Anyways.

How are you going to be able to swim in that swimming cap?

Nini's giving "A Bug's Life"

What are y'all wearing?

Are you jealous?

No, I'm just confused.

Discord, get your daughter together.

Mind your business, bitches.

You just wait until we get to the main stage.

I know that I can bring this together and can make it work.

Let me see if I can get this.

Oh, Lord Jesus.

Girl, this ain't going to work.

This week's challenge is a drag makeover.

Oh, honey.

You can't clock me.

You can't clock it.

We got to transform these gay cowboys into our drag daughters.

Pretty. Honestly, pretty good.

Just keep those steps kind of nice and long.

To be fair to my cowboy, for a sixty year old man who has never walked in heels, he's not doing bad.

He's also not doing great.

Ladies of the night.

It's it's really stiff.

Yeah, I'm not buying.

That's okay, nobody was asking you to, babe.

So, let's just without even trying anything.

Oh shit.

Bitch, yes, yes, yes, yes, you got it, girl.

Oh!

The hips are moving the right way.

She doesn't look like Discord.

It's amazing.

Oh, there we go. Oh my God, see, you already got this.

I think my cowboy might be better at walking than I am.

It's so obnoxious.

Darlene and Chris, come on over.

Now, you had a great week last week. The judges all commented on the shift.

What did it feel like from your perspective?

It was just like really kind of like making that decision in my mind to just have fun.

And if I'm having fun, it is an invitation for you and the rest of the panel to kind of just join me

Truer words have never been spoken. You got to remember that too for you, Chris, because that's what drag is all about.

Have you ever walked in high heels?

Yes.

You have?

I clean my house in them.

You clean your house in.

How how high are your heels?

Like stripper heels.

Really?

Big ones, yes.

Oh, so you're one step ahead of the competition.

I'm a step ahead of all these bitches.

Now, Chris, what events do you compete in?

So, steer deco.

Is that like a art deco?

So, they let a steer out.

Is that a cow?

With no nuts.

RuPaul.

A steer is a cow with no nuts.

Yes.

I think I've got the title for my next book.

I'm excited for you, Chris.

Thank you.

All right, kids, get back to work.

Thank you.

All right, Juicy and Greg, come on over.

Let's go, let's go.

How's it going?

Terrific.

Lovely. You have a lot of fancy outfits like country Western star, like fringes and all that kind of stuff?

I think I accessorize Molly with that stuff.

Uh-huh.

I can't really use fringe because when I'm roping, I might get tangled in a rope and...

Who cares? You look fabulous.

Now, you were in the bottom last week.

Yes, I was.

Yeah. What did you learn about yourself?

That I was a bit too nice and um I could have brought more of a character to the roast.

Yeah, you know, it just felt like you hadn't found your voice yet.

Yeah, I have to stand more in my power and my bad bitch energy and just bring it out.

Like when the music comes on, like it comes out of me in that way.

But my voice is something that I am going to harness and ride into the sunset.

It's just something that you find after a while, a certain style that becomes your own.

I can't wait.

I always love it when the kids get into drag.

It'll be interesting to see what emerges from your personality.

I can serve some looks.

Okay, we're going to hold you to that.

I'm ready.

All right, Miss Ropy Dope.

You're not ready for her walk, baby. You're not ready for her walk, baby.

Discord and Colton, come on over.

Hello.

Now, what events do you participate in at the rodeo?

Calf roping, I do the barrel racing, pole bending.

Pole bending?

On the horse.

On the horse. Pole bending?

What does that look like?

We get out of the gates.

I feel her heartbeat through my butt hole before we take down.

And she books it, and then we turn the end pole as fast as we can, and you just bob and weave, bob and weave, bob and weave,

Okay.

So I see you got these little purses there.

Have you chosen a name yet?

I'm going to be Harmony.

Discord and Harmony.

Discord and Harmony.

Discord and Harmony.

So I want it to be like the mean like bitchy like punk girl at school. And he's going to be like the

I want to do a nod to Clueless, to Legally Blonde, to Mean Girls, to all the gay movies we all grew up watching.

All right, now, you know Michelle's going to be looking for a family resemblance. She doesn't really take to these

Well, I think what's good is that the preppy girls are mean. The punk girls are mean. So it's like we have the same

Listen, listen. If you can make it work, but if you have to explain it,

just be prepared.

Ru's not picking up the vibe in what I'm laying down.

Thank you, Ru.

But once she sees it, I think she'll get it.

We are so deep into the competition and I have yet to win anything other than mini challenges.

I am dying for a win.

All right, Jason and Nini, come on down.

What does that sash say?

It says: Mister Colorado Gay Rodeo Association.

First runner up.

So who won?

I'm not saying his name.

There was collusion.

Oh, there was collusion? Okay.

There was collusion.

So, you got Miss Nini Coco. And Miss Nini Coco has won.

Two challenges.

Two challenges.

You're going to make it three with Miss Jason?

Absolutely.

She is a diva and it is ready to explode.

I can feel it.

Okay.

Jason, have you ever done drag before?

No.

You have a cute little nose. That's going to that's going to be whittled down really nicely.

Oh yeah.

I see some hats with plumes coming out of them them.

Yes.

I was hoping to illustrate the mother-daughter experience.

And I was going to be a beautiful butterfly and this is going to be my baby caterpillar.

Now you know Michelle's going to bring up the family resemblance thing.

Yes.

That's her thing.

Yeah.

You know, everybody has their thing.

Yeah.

Michelle's thing is what?

Family resemblance.

That's right.

And being a whore.

All right, kids, we'll get back to work. Can't wait to see you.

All right, thank you, Ru.

All right, thank you.

All right, Myki and Michael.

What pretty hair you've got there.

Thank you, Ru. We're going old Hollywood red carpet.

Oh, wow, that's really pretty.

And what's going to push you over the top this week?

We are going to walk it like it is the red carpet and we have paparazzi around us and we're the shit.

And serve.

Well, that's what you got to do.

Have you done drag before?

Honestly, I have to say yes, Ru, I have.

You have?

There's a royalty in the Gay Rodeo and I was Miss International Gay Rodeo in two thousand.

Oh my gosh.

Did you have your fingers crossed that you would get Michael?

I feel like fate did put us together.

Getting to know Michael a little bit more,

I think this is a really great match.

This is a title holder.

All right, well, have fun and I can't wait.

Thanks, Ru.

Thank you.

Jane and Terry, come on over.

Are those turkey feathers?

They're... I think they're cock feathers.

Cock feathers, beautiful.

Hi, Terry.

Hi.

How old were you when you participated in your first rodeo?

High school.

And what event did you participate in?

Bulls and steers.

Were you rope them?

No, rode them.

You rode the bull and the steer.

Yes.

Okay.

Have you figured out the connection between drag and rodeo yet?

You know, Terry is discovering how physically demanding drag is.

Well, you've got the heels on, right?

And we've got the heels. And he has been very adamant that we are training in these heels.

Yeah. And I think Terry will probably regret wearing closed toes.

Uh, do you have a name yet?

Yeah, we settled on Maybe Don't.

Oh, Maybe Don't.

Maybe don't.

Maybe don't, honey.

I love that name.

Well.

You love them cock feathers, don't you?

Covered in cock feathers.

Can't get enough of them.

I'm going to have to take this home.

Oh, there's cock feather in your mouth, Terry. Behave.

Never.

Well, I'm so excited to see Terry stomping that runway with those heels.

Thank you, Ru.

Thank you.

All right, listen up, Buffalo girls.

Listen up.

Now, I know this ain't your first rodeo.

But tomorrow, you will be making your drag family debuts on the main stage.

So good luck and don't buck it up.

Juicy, they have your size.

Thank you, Darlene. You always think of me, sister.

Ladies, it's time for a roping lesson.

So the cowboys decide to give us queens a little lesson in roping and riding.

Now just follow through with your arm.

I am first thinking that I'm about to nail this.

Okay.

Oh. Oh, that was good.

It's not my gig, ladies and gentlemen.

There you go, girl!

Yes, bitch. Yes.

Oh, close.

This is really classic me in the competition. I'm always hitting the target but never quite lassoing it.

So, safe again.

I did tell you I was going to teach you how to steer wrestle.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, come on now. You steer.

Oh my God, wait. Okay.

Okay. Nini wastes no time getting on all fours.

I come up from behind.

Here.

What?

Here.

And then roll!

You can tell it's been a minute since that lady's been wrestled.

Jane's got a good swing.

High five.

Yay!

I think there's a total crossover here between this gay rodeo world and the drag world.

Like, first of all, the gay Cowboys are shady as fuck, which immediately makes me feel at home.

If we are going to have anything to wear on the runway tomorrow, we have to get to work.

We're ready.

We're ready.

But there's also this theme of people who are outsiders kind of banding together to create these little networks

It has that same kind of in-group like community vibe. It's really amazing.

You want to touch them?

Get off me.

Let's go y'all.

Hello.

It's runway day and it's time to get these cowboys into drag. Woo!

This is your spot right here.

All right.

Are you excited to be the prettiest lady in the room?

Yes. Well, not prettier than you.

I've not had this gone in fifteen years. It's not a lot, but.

Really?

it's because I have a booty chin.

I love my booty chin.

See, that's how I do we were meant to be.

There you go. It's a booty chain.

Say goodbye, any last words?

Goodbye, salt and pepper.

Here comes the booty.

Now, today is special.

You said it's been about five years.

It's been about five years.

Since you were last in drag.

Yeah.

What was the that last time you dragged like?

It was hard.

I did it five years ago and it had been like a three-year break in between then.

So.

to shave this off and kind of lose that

a little bit of masculinity.

Um, is hard.

Because I just found myself again.

My cowboy Michael was sharing with me that he gave up his passion for drag because he didn't feel secure with

And

I get it.

There's there's Myki, the glamour, and then there's like genuine Myki underneath it all.

Right.

When I'm in it so often, I feel like I lose that true sense of self.

Because they're loving the character, they're loving the persona, but they're not knowing who I am.

And so you and so you know it's important to make sure you're taking care of both. Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

I think today is a day to let go of any

opinions of what others may have about you.

Today is about empowering your inner diva.

Absolutely.

Right?

And yes, this will be, you know, it's going to take a moment to get used to this again, but it is going to grow back.

I hope that this makeover will help my new drag daughter find the power that I know she has within her and feel even more

I adore you.

I know uh I don't want to call Discord fate, but fate put us together for sure.

It's true.

A lot of hair.

He's wearing sleeves.

It's not showing under the outfit.

Very womanly.

But what a real drag queen does is shave her armpits and shave her chest.

Unless you're Nini Coco.

Oh, goodbye.

How we feeling?

Nervous.

First time since high school, the end of an era.

I'm good.

Okay.

I trust you.

Let's do it. Let's do it.

As I'm getting my cowboy ready, I honestly

I'm so stressed.

I have thus far in the competition never once even been lower than high.

I've won three challenges, so there is an expectation that I'm going to deliver something really amazing.

Oh Lord.

Oh my gosh, Terry.

Woah!

You look so good.

You are so handsome.

Oh my God, Terry.

You're so cute.

Honestly, Terry looks cute.

And my hope is that at the end of this, he feels beautiful.

How do you think your fiance is going to react?

He's gonna laugh.

He's gonna laugh?

Mhm.

I haven't been clean shaven since I left the army.

During the military, it was easy to fake the masculinity because it's part of the uniform, so to speak.

And it was required.

Absolutely.

You you had no choice.

Yeah, you can't go flouncing around the barracks. You could, you know, Barry Winchell was a really good friend of mine.

We worked under the same command for a while and so

you know, we we became friends and sort of confided in each other and he was dating a trans woman and some of our other

didn't listen

and it cost him his life.

Some of his fellow soldiers found out and they beat him to death with a baseball bat.

Oh my God.

I was encouraged not to sort of have any kind of feeling, emotion or opinion about it to keep myself safe.

I said and did nothing.

It was heartbreaking because you can't mourn your friend for fear of you being next.

And

Oh my God.

And. It's.

It's. I was like, that's it's going to be me if I don't figure out how to

fake this a little bit better.

So.

I'm so sorry.

Can I give you a hug?

I know that I don't know you fully yet.

Oh, don't cry.

I do love you because

the things that you have gone through, like I have so much love for you.

The things he's been through are really heavy.

This is about celebrating his courage and his bravery and him finding this piece of his femininity that he

has neglected before.

I don't always have the words to say.

The fact that you want the words

is enough.

Listen, I have one win and since then, I've been pretty close to almost winning each challenge after that.

I don't know what is preventing me from getting that win.

But

I want this one.

We need this second win.

We need this win.

Ladies.

The library is open.

Which victim do I want to eat first?

Looks like you already ate.

It already started.

I would have never in my life been like, I have a bunch in common with like gay cowboys.

But we're hanging out with them and I'm like, girl,

Y'all are catty bitches.

We're gonna cover up your shame. Can you pass that face mask?

I thought a caterpillar was supposed to turn into a beautiful butterfly.

This bitch looks like she hit a fucking windshield going ninety miles an hour.

Is this how y'all talk every day?

It's usually a little uh

less PG.

Wow.

Send nudes.

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

She puts the sass in Sasparilla, Michelle Visage.

Michelle, what is your favorite Western?

The Magnificent Seven and a half.

He's got a passion for fashion.

It's Law Roach.

Law, what is your favorite Western?

He broke my back mountain.

I think I saw that last night.

And the fabulous Danielle Pinnock.

Thanks for having me. I'm so excited to be here.

Now, Danielle, what's your favorite Western?

I would have to say Teddy Slickers.

I think I saw that one last night too.

This week we challenged our queens to turn rodeo kings into ravishing queens.

And tonight on the runway, category is drag family resemblance.

Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.

Category is drag family resemblance.

Up first, Nini Coco and Patsy Coco.

Are those antenna in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Is that a bee?

I'm not sure.

We are floating down the runway in our insect couture.

From antenna to wings to thorax, it is all hand stitched. My drag daughter is wearing this gorgeous neon yellow gown

Werk, daughter!

We both share the same antennas and lashes.

I've got one hungry little caterpillar here and she is ready for that win.

She's the caterpillar of society.

Oh, it's a caterpillar.

Yeah, just realized it now.

Thank you.

Myki Meeks and Morgan Meeks.

From the Michelle Visage collection.

Myki Meeks stars in a Meeks family affair featuring her drag daughter,

Morgan Meeks.

You cannot deny the family resemblance here.

We have the same wig going different ways. The makeup is identical.

I gave her the cocktail cuz daughter wants to show off her legs.

Yes.

Those aren't easy heels either.

No.

The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, darling.

Ain't nothing meek about these two.

It's big Ang and little Ang.

Juicy Love Dion and Loosey Love Dion.

Ooh, Loosey and Juicy sounds like a good night out.

The Love Dion girls are pumping down this runway like two Afro-Cuban goddesses.

I had to make a body suit to cover up my cowboy.

So, thankfully I learned how to sew in this competition.

Loosey Love Dion eats up the rodeo circuit every time and now she's eating up this drag race runway stage.

Shakira and Boquita.

Havanna, she better don't.

Loosey, you got some explaining to do.

Jane Don't and Maybe Don't.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Judds.

The Don't sisters are known for their boa jobs.

The concept that I'm serving is this Vaudeville sister act. This is old school glamour.

There's vintage hair.

We both have our cock feather boas.

Maybe is feeling it, gets important to take care of her and make sure that she has a good time going down

Oh, brother.

See you at the chicken ranch, ladies.

Discord Addams and Harmony Addams.

She's clueless.

As if.

Harmony and I are sisters at the same school, but we sit at different lunch tables because she's preppy and I

Kind of want to steal her boyfriend.

We are both wearing tweed. We have the same hairstyle. We are just in opposite color schemes.

We look so stinking cute.

She's pushing me.

I'm pushing her.

I am so proud of my baby drag daughter.

She is killing it.

Look, it's Tuesday and Wednesday Addams.

Darlene Mitchell and Bonnie Mitchell.

Girls trip.

You know what happens in Reno usually requires a penicillin shot.

My sister and I cashed in our vacation days and we are headed to Reno, baby.

We love a thrift store. So we are rolling the dice on this look.

We've got our margaritas in hand.

We've got our matching little purses and we may be sisters from another mister, but mama taught us how to paint. We've

We are ready to win.

And bike shorts, of course, because you never know when you're going to have to high tail it out of there.

Just a couple of slots.

Yes, those slots are loose.

Mhm, I've heard.

These girls are definitely getting lucky.

Welcome y'all.

Now it's time for the judges' critiques.

First up, Nini Coco, and this is Patsy Coco.

I don't know if you know how particular I am in this challenge, and even though they are gorgeous and you

It's not a family resemblance to me.

This is a costume with the same antennas and eyelashes, but not a family resemblance.

I also didn't know what the fuck Jason was. Michelle had to tell me it was a caterpillar. I thought it was a bee at first.

I thought the costumes were cute, but there's no family resemblance at all.

Where I'm from, it's an old saying that says, Mama's baby, Papa's maybe.

Listen, black people got family everywhere, okay?

And you could be my cousin.

From one curvy girl to the next, I think you look absolutely beautiful.

This outfit is hitting you in all the right places.

You are just snatched.

So, Patsy, what do you think the people at the rodeo would think of this getup?

Um, I I'm so terrified of my own femininity that I present myself very gruff, very aggressive. I wrestle steer.

So, for anyone to see me this soft, sort of goofing around, I think it'll be like, hey, there's another

Wow. You know, I always feel more butch in drag than I do.

Thank you very much.

Up next, Myki Meeks.

And this is Morgan Meeks.

Y'all are giving opulence.

Truly.

I was thinking, y'all look like y'all could have been in the Viennetta ice cream commercial.

Like y'all just look rich.

You know?

I'm from Jersey. I'm like, this is everything I grew up with.

It's literally like looking at season three of me and season fourteen of me.

There is no question, you two are related.

To me, but yes, you're related to each other.

I renamed you Nichelle and Rochelle Visage.

We'll take it.

Yeah.

Michael, you really, really held your own against the queen, and your feet look so tiny in those shoes.

Morgan, this is not your first rodeo.

Yes, yes.

In heels.

Uh, no, ma'am. No, it's not.

No, well, it showed. How different is Morgan from the drag you've done before?

It's a rebirth.

To come out here and stomp the runway again and just get that adrenaline rush

was everything.

Why did you give it up?

I lost my masculinity and I thought giving up drag would help me find it again.

I was wrong.

I'm more powerful now. I stand in power today.

Praise him.

Right. Won't he do it?

Yes, he will.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

Up next, Juicy Love Dion.

And this is Loosey Love Dion.

You two make complete sense.

The hair choices, the makeup choices, the jewelry choices.

It's not always about matchy match, but it's about understanding there's a cohesion.

One thing I hate to do is agree with Michelle Visage.

But everything she said about you guys is correct.

You are a mother and daughter and you've been able to turn Greg into Celia Cruz.

Yes.

That's all I saw when I looked at her.

Greg, what have you learned about yourself in this process?

I'm so used to being on top.

in the rodeo.

And Juicy just made me into a beautiful woman.

It's. it's empowering because I couldn't have done this myself.

I really love you. Thank you.

Oh.

Up next, Jane Don't.

And this is Maybe Don't.

Jane, Maybe is extremely glamorous.

With that said,

you know I'm going to tell you I'm not getting family resemblance.

The style of the dress is different.

The jewelry is different.

You have to give us something that would make us believe that you're related apart from the same hair color.

Finally, I disagree.

I totally see a family resemblance.

I see that you tried to beat the face to make the bone structure similar.

You definitely are related.

I have to agree with Law.

Y'all are giving twins.

Literally when you walked out, I said, what episode of Parent Trap is this? Lindsay Lohan would be proud.

I have a soft spot for redheads. My hubby is a redhead, and y'all truly are the DIs of Caucasians.

Terry, did you have fun?

I had amazing time.

Jane has just been over the top to make sure everything I needed, wanted, happened.

I was very stressed during this process because I just really wanted to

take care of Terry and make sure that he was having fun.

I commend you for that and you had so much patience and so much grace and that kind of warms my bitter cold broken heart.

Thank you for having me. I've I've had the best time.

Looking this glamorous, I'd never dream I would look as good or better than you, RuPaul.

The cowboys are shady.

Up next, Discord Addams.

And this is Harmony Addams.

This is season one thousand three hundred and forty seven of Drag Race, and we know what the judges are expecting,

I hate it like I hate my father and I really hate my father.

You all look like small business owners who are scammers

and I kind of was feeling it but I don't really see siblings or mother daughter.

You two are best friends.

Even the updos are different, different color, different style.

Again, this is drag family resemblance, so I expect you to look

alike.

However, you had such a cute little act. You're the cutesy one and she's tripping you.

I enjoyed the performance.

Never thought you saw the day that I was the nice judge, did you?

Sorry.

Harmony, what category do you think Discord would excel at in the rodeo?

Goat dressing.

Is that a real category?

Yes, ma'am.

That's where we have our underwear on our hands and you just run down, pick the goat up somebody and the other

They look like these.

Come on, Rode-ho.

Oh my gosh, Rode-ho.

Up next, Darlene Mitchell.

And now this is Miss Bonnie Mitchell.

You guys are actually my favorite.

Yes, you are giving me two happy hookers

Yeah.

Yes!

who are walking down the street saying it's sweater weather.

These are my kind of girls.

Yay!

I'm ready to go to all inclusive holiday in with y'all. I love on Island Ice Teas, check them dice on your

I'm obsessed. It's such a storytelling moment and I do believe that y'all are siblings and I do believe that

Hit a melon.

And I am into it.

When the two of you came out, I instantly went, nope, you're best friends at a casino.

But the more I got into the storyline, yeah, it's a family resemblance with therapy in the future.

Two pills a day.

There is definitely a family dynamic here that we probably don't want to know about.

You know, where like a sister will tell the daughter that actually I'm not your sister, I'm your mother.

We kind of expected this from you, Darlene. We did not expect for Bonnie to also take on the family aesthetic.

I've never looked so fucking pretty in my life.

Oh, really?

Yes.

This is beautiful.

Do you look like someone in your family?

No, no one looks as pretty in my family.

Thank you, queens

and cowboys.

I think we've heard enough.

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

Now, just between us cowpokes.

What do you think? Starting with Nini and Patsy Coco.

I loved the story about transformation.

However, they were cute in a school play type of way.

I preferred Jason out of drag to be quite honest.

Nini Coco has slayed every single challenge.

That kid is so smart, but the family resemblance just wasn't there.

Myki and Morgan Meeks.

Truly giving generational wealth, and I love that.

Absolutely, they were family, they were sister Sledge.

Stevie Wonder could see these two are related.

Juicy and Loosey Love Dion.

I'm Jamaican and so they would fit so well in carnival.

The colors were just so bright and ornate.

And their performance was entertaining. I just love those two.

I love them too and I even love the names, Juicy and Loosey.

Yes!

Jane and Maybe Don't.

I thought the family resemblance was definitely there. It was like Patsy Cline and Calvin Klein.

Jane has not made any missteps up till now.

I don't know why she chose to be so different with the outfits.

She could have done a little red on her blue and a little blue on her red just to tie it together because the silhouette was

The entire panel disagrees, but for me, the same hair color does not a family resemblance make.

Discord and Harmony Addams.

I did see the Clueless reference, but it just was not giving family at all.

Listen, I had this discussion with Discord in the workroom. I said, I get the concept, but it's not going to fly.

We know Michelle is going to read you for filth if there is no family resemblance and you took your

At the end of the day, this is a drag family resemblance. You get the opportunity to look like your partner.

So make it happen, it's in the title.

I don't get it.

She did it to piss you off, Michelle.

Yeah, she did.

She freaking did.

Darlene and Bonnie Mitchell.

I mean, they just look like they pay in travelers checks still.

I mean

They also love to dine and dash.

Yes.

These are my type of girls.

Now, family resemblance. Oh, okay, there were similarities.

Distant cousins, mother, daughter, sisters, whatever it was, I bought it.

They were fully not only related but connected.

All right.

Silence.

I have made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Oh, I meant to say, I've made some incisions.

Oh, no.

Yikes. Doctor.

Juicy.

When it comes to drag family resemblance,

tonight, you served wacky.

Darlene.

You served tacky.

And Myki.

You served Jackie.

As in Jackie Stallone.

Oh. That's true.

Oh, yes ma'am.

Myki Meeks,

condragulations, you're the winner of this week's challenge.

Good job, baby. Good job, good job, good job.

Oh my God, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is my second win, which feels so amazing. Ooh, got my nipples hard.

You've won a cash tip of five thousand dollars, plus a tip of twenty five hundred dollars for your partner.

Yes!

Oh my God! Then you got twenty five hundred dollars.

Oh, we're going to the rodeo, baby! Hey!

And to all our cowboys, as a token of our appreciation,

each of you will receive an extra special gift bag from Anastasia Beverly Hills.

To help you as you continue

on your drag journey.

I'm going to look this gorgeous all the time.

And remember,

Casting for season nineteen is now open.

Juicy Love Dion, Darlene Mitchell, you are safe.

And you three may step to the back of the stage.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is the first time Jane's been in the bottom, isn't it?

Jane Don't.

Your family resemblance was a big

maybe.

Discord Addams, your mismatched pairing left the judges clueless.

Nini Coco.

Butterflies may be free, but this look could cost you.

Jane Don't.

You are safe.

Yes.

Discord.

Nini.

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

I got a lot of negative critiques and I'm not delusional.

I heard them this time, but I don't agree with them.

I know that Nini is a fierce performer, but luckily this is a ballad and while I'm not known for dancing, I do

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself

from elimination.

This is my first time in the bottom two and I am terrified.

I've worked so hard to be here and

I am not leaving this competition.

Discord, there's the door.

Sorry, girl.

The time has come

for you to lip sync

for

your

life!

I'm shaking.

I know, my hands are like sweating.

Good luck

and don't

Fuck it up.

Yes, Nini!

Come on, girls.

Yes, girls.

Queens, I've made my decision.

Nini Coco, Shantay you stay.

I hate this.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

I love you so much.

You deserve it, baby.

That queen changed my life. I'm glad she's staying.

Discord, my queen, no matter what comes next, never, ever,

sissy that walk.

I mean that.

Now, sashay away.

Thank you so much.

I have had the absolute time of my life.

So let me walk for you one more time.

It's gotten better.

But I'm going to do it how I used to.

Now you all get to see it.

Well,

See you on All-Stars.

I'm feeling incredibly proud of my partner Harmony.

He looked so beautiful. In Discord land, I fucking nailed it.

I am a punk rock motherfucker who is going to change the way that you see drag.

Eat the rich, fuck the patriarchy.

This is everything.

You are everything.

Discord's out.

Condraglations, queens.

And remember, if you can't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

All right. Now let the music play.

Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race.

You need to use your improv skills in a show we're calling Karens Gone Wild.

No more.

You're going insane.

Christmas decoration!

Help! Help! Help!

Get it, get it.

Yeah, I got a bad bitch up in here, y'all.

You just pulled out every last thing you had in your bag of tricks and I bought every single one.

You ran out of steam.

I'm trying my hardest not to be nervous.

I'm a little nervous.
