Lashauwn Beyond: This is not
RuPaul's Best Friend Race.

Laganja Estranja:
I feel very attacked!

Vanjie: I was trying
to reach closure with you!

Silky: If I would've lip-synced
for my life today, bitch,

I was ready to do so!

RuPaul: This is Untucked,
backstage at the competition

to become America's
next drag superstar.

Girl, if you're not
watching Untucked,

you're only getting
half the story.

Director:
Break on the main stage.

- Back with Untucked,
resetting the Queens.

Director: All cameras repo.

RuPaul: Thank you, ladies.

I think we've heard enough.

Now while you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

You may leave the stage.

There's a high chance

that any of us
could be in the bottom.

I haven't forgotten
that there's only seven of us,

and that is really terrifying,
honestly.

I'm nervous.
I could be in the bottom

because I didn't show
my true self in my lyrics.

Like, I'm just so in my head.

If it was just based off
the main challenge,

I might be in the top.

But if it's taking everything
into consideration,

bitch, I might be going home,
and that has me shooketh.graphic

Marker.

Stage Manager: Walking.

Please escort the Queens in.

Director: Send the Queens
in three, two, one...

Ooh, yes, go, queen, go, honey.

Oh, my goodness.

-Aah! This is Untucked.
-Yes.

Well, okay.

Well, we made it.

We are here.

Bitch.

Hope this doesn't make me
a lightweight,

because I ain't had booze
in a while.

Uhh!

Bitch, I feel great.

You should, because
you got the highest praise,

and just no negativity
whatsoever, so you just--

I don't know, Jackie.

And Jackie, too.
Y'all probably the tops.

-They loved y'all.
-Except for my beard.

I love that you're
a proud Persian queen.

One thing
I'm going to tell you.

Because you are Persian descent
and your hair is dark,

we're already seeing
the bleed-through on the beard.

This is gonna be
the bane of your existence.

I'm a twice-a-day shaver, girl.

-Really?
-I mean, you can watch it.

Like, if you look
at a time-lapse video,

it's gonna keep growing back.

-Wow.
-But I'll fix that.

I'm not letting Michelle down.

Is anyone nervous?

-I am.
-I'm nervous.

I don't know why,
but I do feel nervous.

I think you got
really good critiques, Gigi.

They were obsessed
with everything you wore.

RuPaul: Gigi Goode.

Your fashion show choices
were fantastic.

What I loved the most
about your rap

is that you had
a double-entendre in it.

"I'm just here to win
and leave a bitch on read."

Literally, I would steal
that line.

There is nothing
between all of us

that was, like,
absolutely, like,

you are definitely
lip-syncing today.

Well, they did say

that they could feel that
I wasn't comfortable performing,

which is a pretty
shitty thing.

Okay, but how did you feel
about Ms. Nicki saying

that you had the most beautiful
face she had ever seen?

Nicki was obsessed with you.

It was a bittersweet feeling.

As much as I appreciate

that people acknowledge
my makeup skills,

I just don't wanna be seen
as just, like,

oh, you're so pretty
and polished,

so you're a successful
drag queen.

You are gorgeous, though.
You truly are.

Because to me,
like, this is what--

how I feel comfortable
doing drag.

You can go further
than my definition of drag.

And I know that this is not
RuPaul's Best Friend Race,

but I don't consider myself
being on top of you

just because I know how
to color-correct my moustache.

So thank you for the compliment.

It was an honor.

I respect her so much,
I love her.

Now I need to make sure

that I'm able to be as confident
in my performances

that I am with my looks.

Because I am a strong performer,

and I feel like I'm
getting in my head too much

just because of
the immigrant thing.

I'm trying to live up
to your level

just because you guys
are in your environments.

What do you mean, "live up
to our level," bitch?

We're all out of our element.

Being French
and recently relocated is hard,

because every time
there's an awkward moment

with someone
in your conversation

because of your accent
or the expression you use

that nobody understands
what the fuck you're saying,

all of that, you kind of
like beat yourself up,

because you know how eloquent

or how funny or quick you are
in your country.

And here, you're kind of like
more vanilla.

So it's hard
to build confidence.

You don't have to translate
everything you say.

-Yeah.
-I'm struggling.

I'm struggling
and translating my struggle,

so it's not exactly the same.

I feel like our critiques were
the opposite of each other.

Like, they loved,
loved, loved your runways,

and they thought you were
nervous during your performance.

For me, I was the opposite.

My wig popped off,
and I am really worried.

Nobody wants to be
the first queen to go home.

But they loved my personality.

I think that's
the most important thing.

Hello. We can buy you
better wigs, girl.

Yeah, girl.

We can't buy you
a new personality.

Yeah, I mean, I'm from
the small country, girl.

We sit on the front porch

and drink sweet tea
and rock in our rocking chairs,

and I'm very laid back, very--
like, back at home,

I don't live where my home bar
or whatever is.

So I'm not technically
a "hometown girl,"

so it's kind of like
I don't fit in back at home.

Mm-hmm.

And no one
really took me serious.

I just feel isolated
a lot of the times,

and it's just--it's hard
to let myself out to others.

Like, as a regular person,
I wear a mask

to hide the person
who I truly am inside.

It's just that I've been hurt
so much over the years.

Like, people
have always left me.

Like, I've put walls up

so when they do leave,
it doesn't hurt.

Aw.

No, I wanna give you a hug.

And I've done that
to a lot of people, and it's--

being here, I've let
my walls down, and I'm--

I love you.

I'm not used to getting
so close to other people,

and really, I'm scared.

[sniffles] Sorry, sorry.

Oh.

But I think I'm slowly
chipping away at that wall,

and behind it
is such a beautiful person.

I can't speak for the other ho's
who may be coming in,

but you have six sisters
right here.

-Really, truly.
-No matter what happens here.

I'm so thankful for this
group of queens, seriously.

Honestly, yesterday, after
the rehearsal that we had,

I was like, oh, my God,
I'm not doing enough.

Like, I need to, like,
amp it up.

Yeah, how do you feel?

They said that I didn't show
personality in my lyrics,

I mean, which I agree,
I didn't.

Didn't one of the judges say you
were cocky, or--was it Nicki?

Nicki said that, on a good
rap song, you gotta be cocky.

I liked Nicki
till she said she hated my face.

I hate, hate, hate your hair
and makeup today.

You still like her.

Oh!

[all laugh]

I think the critiques from Nicki
Minaj to Heidi about her makeup

is kind of a sore spot in
Heidi's mind and in her heart.

And I'm a little bit worried

that it might affect
her performance moving forward.

I don't think that she mean it,
like, in a bad way.

-Yeah.
-Oh, yeah.

So earlier, I asked you
in the werkroom,

I said are you still mad at us.

And then on the runway today
you backed up.

You said
there were too many cooks.

Who was in charge
of the choreography?

At first, everybody
wanted me and Heidi,

and after a while,

it just became too many chefs
in the kitchen.

You asked me if I was still mad
at you, and I said no, I'm not.

But there were
too many cooks at first.

We were all talking
over each other,

and then the time
was just running out.

That's because nobody
was taking charge.

None of you two
were also taking the lead.

We kind of had to, like, go--

Wait. I was talking the lead
at the beginning.

When you all said that
we should choreograph,

that's what
we were trying to work out.

And then y'all
would keep interrupting.

As someone who does dance

and have competitions
that I have dancers,

like, my dancers, we go in,

they come in for rehearsal,
we get this shit done.

That's pretty much it.

It's like no one
ever really talks over me.

Like, if you have an idea
that may work for you or for us,

let me know.

I will put it together
and see if it works.

I mean, I think
that's what we were doing.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

But everybody
was doing it at once.

I don't think that we were,
like, disrespecting you.

I was trying to push you
to take the lead.

You also were not really in sync
with her in her ideas.

You wanted to give yours.

You all asked me
to take charge of this choreo,

and then you step in front of me
and try to take over

instead of just
giving me my goddamn space

and let me do it.

We've all watched the show
enough.

The one person that's always
on the first chopping block

is the one
who takes the most charge.

This was a group challenge,

so I think that all of us
would have spoken up for you.

But I don't know any of y'all.

-I don't know you.
-You can't trust us?

I don't trust the bitch

that runs my card at the bank,
trust me.

I don't--I know Crystal.

That's why me and Crystal
don't have a problem. [laughs]

I am sorry if it felt like
we were stepping on your toes.

But we did pull it together
and we did it

and it looked good.

Widow answered the question
on stage.

Who's your biggest competition?

Uh...

I'm gonna have to say...

Nicky.

So everybody else,
who's your biggest competition?

I'm gonna say that Jackie
is the biggest competition,

because you seem so smart
and, like, well-spoken.

What does that say about us?

[all laugh]
Aah!

What about you?

I think that my biggest
competition would be Gigi.

Because I think
we're on the same lane.

You're a makeup artist,
I'm a makeup artist.

You're a look queen,
I'm a look queen.

You perform, I perform.

Like, I felt like I can
recognize myself a lot into you.

Also, like, good job
on these helmets, sis.

You be pulling those out
left and right.

Just trying to be safe, sister.

Yes, that's right, girl.
[laughs]

But I wanna see the next helmet
you pull out, girl,

because I'm here for it.

Well, keep counting.

I was, like, you should
have a suitcase of helmets.

Yeah, actually
I only brought helmets.

Did you really?

No, I'm just kidding.

[all laugh]

Bitch, I wouldn't
have been mad at you.

That could have been a thing.

Brita?

Um, definitely Widow,
because you're a big girl,

and you're
such a great performer.

The things that you can do
with your body, and--

Now, Jackie, you are one of the
smartest queens I've ever met.

You're so smart,
you're so quick--

It's the brown hair.
It's not that smart.

Girl, no, it's the beard.

[all laugh]

And you, you're next-level
with your dancing.

You are funny.

Girl, the things that you say--

When you made
that chicken noise--

Can you just do it again?

Bock-bock-bock-ba-gawk!

Girl.

It's my native language,
actually.

[all laugh]

Gigi, biggest competition?

Jackie.

You are such an impressive
persona and character

and performer
and just visual artist

that, I mean, I feel like I have
to watch out for you for sure.

I feel like
I'm split between you two.

Like, both of you, because
I wish I was as fashion as you,

and I wish I was as creative
visually as you.

You're insane.

When you walked in
with that face--

-Wow.
-Thank you.

Yeah, I respect a lot
your artistry, for sure.

You're also
so quiet right here, right now,

and you have been quiet.

You're always quiet.

You're always like this?

I'm usually a quiet person,
and I don't know,

I've never been confident
until I found drag.

I was, like, ashamed of how
feminine I was for a long time.

Same.

Yeah, drag was also my way

to embrace all the reasons that
I've been bullied for so long,

like "you're too feminine."

And I put myself in drag,
and it was just the best way

for me to just turn the page
and move on,

and I haven't been happier.

What about you, Miss Thing?

It's between Widow and Jackie.

Like, I love a big girl
that can move,

and she ain't afraid to move.

I live for that.

Like, your personality
shows through,

and you're just
so congenial and sweet.

Widow for Miss Congeniality.

I want y'all to remember this.

First day,
this is what they said,

that they say I'm nice now.

That means you ain't gonna win.

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

No, no, I said remember this.
Day one, you said this.

Wait till day last,
and you think different.

She's gonna be cutting
all your bra straps.

She's gonna be sawing off
your shoes.

Oh, no, I ain't gonna do that.

I'll just let you fall
for yourself.

She gonna push you off
the main stage.

Oh, no, I'm gonna
just stand right there

and watch you do it yourself.

You go ahead, topple over.

[laughs]

[all scream]

Oh, my God, Nicki Minaj.

Like, what?

My namesake is in the room
with me, in front of me.

Gooped.

You are flawless.

-You are so beautiful.
-Thank you, oh!

Thank you!

Well, I just wanted to say

do you guys have any questions,
first of all?

What is it that you hate
so much about my face?

[laughs] Oh, my God.

Your features and your face
are beautiful.

Let me make that clear.

And I'm not a makeup artist,
y'all,

but I just think that your
makeup looked kind of half-done.

Here's the thing.

Maybe getting a color

that matches your skin tone
a little better,

and then maybe,
like, the blends.

Just something that is more rich

can help you look
more stage-ready.

Let's talk about
your writing,

because you are,
like, queen emcee.

Like, you can really write
some clever rhymes.

-Thank you.
-Oh, for sure.

And, like, what's your process?

You know, the same way you guys,

like, you are gonna perfect
your look over time

by just doing it over and over,
and staying in that mirror?

I do that
with writing things over.

I just feel like the line
could always be better.

Is there a word that isn't
being over-used right now

that I could have said,
you know?

And you guys can do the
same thing with your clothes,

with your hair,
with your makeup.

Like, it's not always good
to blend in, obviously, right?

Yeah.

There's ways to stand out
and still be fly.

There's ways to be funny
and not be the joke.

I give you guys props

for believing in yourself
enough to get here.

Like, y'all,
this is scary-ass shit

because you're putting yourself
on blast for everyone to see,

for everyone to see you fail.

We're not like regular people.

When a regular person
fails in life,

they have five people, tops,
that know about it.

But when it's on TV

and you know it's about to be
critiqued by the whole Internet

and the whole world,

it's very, very normal
to be afraid.

Yeah.

So if you're in it just to win
and just to be that bitch,

you're in the wrong thing.

You gotta be in it
because this is your passion.

-Yeah.
-Thank you, thank you.

-Amazing!
-Thank you so much.

So I'm gonna go.

-Love you so much.
-Thank you, Nicki, for coming.

Thank you all so much.

Thank you, guys!

Thank you, we adore you.

Take care, and keep on
being amazing, y'all,

because you're giving so many
people so much confidence,

you don't even know.

-Thank you!
-Thank you!

-Nicki, we love you!
-Bye, I love you back, y'all.

Ooh, watch that train walk.
Watch it walk.

Hate to see you leave,

but love to see you
walk away, girl!

-Ooh!
-Yeah!

Yeah, come on, sis!

[all laugh]

[cheering]

Yes, mama!

I was this close to Nicki Minaj!

-Nicki Minaj.
-Yeah.

That is so crazy.

Wait, someone
help my big ass up.

Uhh!

Can someone unzip me?

I'm kind of freaking out
a little bit.

Look at your iPod,
you'll be okay.

Stage manager:
All right, Queens.

Five minutes left
till main stage.

Ooh.
[no audible dialogue from Heidi]

I know I messed up
in the mini-challenge,

and I feel like
I might be in the bottom.

And if I have to lip sync,
I have to bring it,

because I am not going home.

After the judges' critiques,

I really don't know
how well I've done.

They praise me
for the aesthetic,

but they sense the insecurity.

All right, Queens, time to go!

Thank you.

RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.graphic

No one's going home.

But there will be one winner.

Gigi Goode and Widow Von'Du,

lip sync for your life!

Widow Von'Du,
you're a winner, baby.graphic

Widow, you know
what you're gonna write?

I think I know what I wanna say.

[all laugh]

-Hands in.
-Top seven for life.

[cheering]

Yes!graphic
