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

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

All cameras re-po.

RuPaul: Heidi.

Jaida Essence Hall.

Jan.

The Widow Von'Du.

Ladies, you are all safe.

You may leave the stage.

Snatch Game is the do-or-die moment in the competition,

and I'm not gonna lie.

My Snatch Game wasn't as great as I wanted it to be,

so I'm glad that I am safe.

This is now the fourth week in a row

where I'm not talking to the judges.

I'm not getting the critiques,

I'm not seeing what I can change.

But I know that if the judges really thought

that I was doing a bad job,

they would put me in the bottom.

So I know that I'm doing well in the competition.

But I don't wanna just do well, I wanna do great.graphic

-Queens walking. -Marker.

Releasing queens for Untucked.

Send the queens in three, two, one--

-Bitch. -Child.

We been--aah!

Hello, ladies! Hello, ladies!

Child, I'm getting my life. Vanjie's back.

Vanjie came here to tell us

what we should not do in the Snatch Game,

because she had done the Snatch Game,

and she had not done it well.

I'm so happy to see her back here.

Fancy meeting you here.

-Hi. -Vanjie.

I brought the Bubly sparkling water.

I hope you bringing the drama.

-We got it. -Always, baby, always.

Grab a glass of this delicious blackberry smash,

and let's get sexy.

-Yeah! -Yeah!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

For making it through Snatch, baby.

Okay, baby.

I'm excited that I get to be here with y'all.

Well, I feel honored, honestly.

Ooh!

I did get to watch y'all's Snatch Game.

Yeah.

I just understand how y'all were feeling.

When we got ready for Snatch Game,

everybody was, like, ooh, bitch, if you don't win--

if you not doing Snatch Game right,

that's gonna let you know who is good and who not good.

-Hello? -Miss Tinta Turntur,

if you are watching this,

I am sorry that I could not make you funny.

Tinta Turntur is in the house.

-Sorry, I tried. -And Ike.

-He's dead. -[laughs]

That is the fact.

I just sympathize. Like, it's so scary.

But a critique or a bad episode,

that doesn't define you, you know what I'm saying?

Like, it's okay to fuck up, we're human.

It's not about how you fall, it's about how you get back up.

All those things we've already heard plenty of times.

How do you feel, Jan, being up here?

Because I know you work hard, and I loved your Bernadette.

Thank you.

There's no business like show business,

so let's send in the clowns!

Wait. They're already here.

Yeah. [all laugh]

I get why I'm not in the top.

I'm more so upset with just, like,

I have not talked to the judges since the first week here.

Oh, shit.

I feel like I'm turning, like, really fun looks,

and I wanna talk to them about it.

I didn't come here to fly under the radar and be safe.

Wait, now, hold on.

Don't dwell on, like, the negative.

Like, also think about the good stuff that is happening,

like you've made it this far.

I know that I have a lot to offer.

So, yeah, I was upset for myself,

and I want to be able to do better.

I didn't come here to just be safe.

I came here to be a winner.

When RuPaul was giving y'all advice,

I was listening to him as well.

I was like, mm-hmm, yeah, mm.

Because honestly, you know, you never--what is the phrase?

Somebody give me a phrase.

You learn something new every day?

About the old dog

could still learn new tricks or some shit.

An old dog can still learn new tricks.

Yeah, so I was listening, and you know,

just to give you guys, like, a little bit of--

Make comfort.

Like, "Oh, girl, I've been in your shoes" type of thing.

-It was very comforting. -And that was very comforting,

like, knowing that we're going into this.

Because usually the girls don't get nobody to talk to

that's been through this before.

Trust.

When you come to North Carolina, I will take care of you.

Stay away from Penelope.

She's the 14th queen this season.

That's what her friends named her dick.

[all laugh]

Oh, no, no, no!

Like, this bitch done brought her Penelope Penis.

Penelope P. Penis.

[high-pitched trill]

Aah!

She's very royal, regal.

[whistling] Soft and supple.

I'm so fucked.

[all laugh]

I love you guys. Have fun.

-Bye, Vanjie. -Aah!

Bye, Vanjie!

-Hey, bitch! Mwah! -[laughs]

Child, we needed that.

That lifted my spirits so much.

That was everything.

RuPaul: Thank you, ladies.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I will deliberate.

You may leave the stage.graphic next

What'd I miss?

-Hey. -Ooh, ooh!

-Oh! -Wow.

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Bubly.

What are we-- what are we talking about?

Who do y'all think is in the top and bottom?

I think the top is clearly going to be Gigi, Jackie, and Sherry.

Correct.

They tore me apart tonight.

I definitely got the harshest critiques.

You think so?

I don't think so, I know so.

Oh.

[slurps]

Honestly, this should have happened a long time ago.

I don't even think Aiden wants to be here.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, but, like, damn.

Lazy people get on my nerves.

I'm going to be honest about you, Aiden.

The only difference between you and the other girls

who have been consistently in the bottom

is that I'm not seeing, like, a drive in you.

I mean, that's why I've been so upset the past two weeks.

I honestly--the last two weeks,

I don't think that I deserved to be in the bottom.

You're an Entertainer of the Year in New York City.

I think you are using that as an excuse.

No, I mean, I get that.

It's a thing--you know, but we are all big queens.

Child.shade

I'm over getting hard on myself about things

just because I'm putting in the effort.

And I did the best that I could have done

within my given circumstances.

There's also no point of you going back and forth

being like, "I could have done this, I should have done that."

Like, you did what you did.

Putting yourself through it

is just gonna make it worse and worse and worse

throughout the competition.

Like, I love drag so much, and I have so much fun doing it,

but all of these challenges, you know, I mean--

But this is the challenge

that we all had the most time to prepare for.

We have known that this is coming.

We prepared for it.

But sometimes, in the fucking moment, you can't be prepared.

Like, I worked and worked on my Snatch Game characters

for the longest fucking time.

But when it's in the moment,

you never know what the fuck's gonna happen.

It just fucking happens.

We're not you, you're not me.

Because if this was a dance challenge,

I'd wear most of you bitches out.

Hey, look, I don't wanna keep poking you,

but I guess my only thing is

I think you're a better improv actress

than it seems like you think you are.

That's all it is for me,

is like I know you're stronger than yesterday's performance.

But that's me as me, not being someone else.

I don't do characters, I don't do improv, I don't do that.

-But, but, but-- -But nothing.

But it's not a character challenge.

-Yes, it is. -No, it's not.

You could literally be, like, Tina Turner,

hey, what's your favorite ice cream?

Who the fuck knows? But you can say it.

Like, I'm just saying that you are, like,

getting very defensive about saying--

Because you keep saying the same shit over and over again.

Exactly.

I don't do characters, I don't do improv.

The thing is is that it's easy for y'all to say that

because this is, like, something that y'all do.

And like, no matter--

like, even when you come to the competition,

and even when you know

that you're gonna have to do something,

that does not mean you're gonna be good at it.

I could sit here at home

and be like, googling for hours and hours and hours,

and still not know my character.

I can show you my notes.

I have eight Snatch Game characters written down,

and the strongest one I was prepared for

that I thought was was Tina Turner.

My only frustration

is that I feel like this cast is so talented,

I want us all to do so well.

And I felt like last week we had such a strong cast performance.

So that is really where I'm coming from.

That's not fair to them, because some things happen in the moment

that can shake someone's confidence,

can shake what they had prepared, can shake anything.

Not everybody's going to do amazing on every challenge.

Yes, we all did amazing last week, and guess what?

Someone still ended up on the bottom.

It was I.

The people who have been in the bottom,

the judges have been telling you what they want to see from you.

And the only person who's been doing that,

in my eyes, has been Crystal.

She changed her makeup for the judges.

And you're a sickening performer,

but they've told you week after week

that you have to improve on your face.

My one critique about my face was from Nicki.

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

The other judges have never said anything about my face.

They agreed with Nicki.

It is what it is.

And I have been working on my makeup.

So to hear that you feel like

you haven't seen any improvement whatsoever

is, like, a slap in the face.

Because I have beat myself up

about my makeup this whole season.

Because I've been telling myself I feel ugly this whole season.

And, no, my makeup may not be the best,

but I didn't come here

to prove anything to not one of you bitches.

Ooh.

This bitch, Miss Gigi Goode.

You're sitting here saying that I'm not hearing

what the judges are saying is complete bullshit.

I have taken every single critique,

and I've been working on my makeup.

So clearly, you have not been paying attention.

-You all right, bitch? -I'm good. I'm over it.

Look, all I gotta say is, look, makeup comes, makeup goes.

It took me forever to get this mug,

and it's still not right to me. Like--

That was fucked up, even after I've been working hard.

I know my makeup's not the best. I've been working on that.

I've been the underdog since day one, and I'm tired of it.

Fuck my drag, right?

I'm tired of these bitches

underestimating me and bullshit.

Pretty much my whole life I have had issues

with seeing myself as an attractive person.

The only time I do feel like I'm pretty is when I'm in drag.

So to hear that Gigi

doesn't feel like my makeup is up to par

and I haven't been trying to work on it

is like a dagger in my heart.

Because I'm like, well, damn,

I'm just like the ugly duckling of the season.

Girl, I need you to listen to me, okay?

You said what you said, Gigi.

-We don't even go here! -Hey, hey, hey.

-Hi! -Hi, boys!

-Hi! -Hi!

Okay, I wanna talk about this later, okay?

What's up, everybody? How we doing?

Things were a little heated, but we're good.

-Yeah? -You guys just missed a fight.

A fight? Really?

Who's fighting? Who's fighting?

You came in at just the right time.

Complete this sentence right now: I am feeling...

We are hashing out in this very moment.

Guys, so we're reporting live, where they are hashing it out

currently on RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked.

Emotions right now are very high.

You can start fighting about an argument,

but just remember, this is about you.

It's not about the family right now.

This ain't RuPaul's Friend Race.

[laughs]

Keep the eye of the tiger,

because somebody here is America's next drag superstar.

And you just have to, like, keep that fight,

because you guys are in a competition.

You're in a contest. You're in a race.

And just remember, I'll be at the finale,

and I will be rooting you on.

-Yeah! -Yeah!

All right, have fun! Good luck!

-Bye! -Thank you!

Girls, are we good? Do we hate each other now?

Are we friends still?

Child.

Well... [sighs]

We're all struggling with something in this competition.

Yeah.

And the thing that I have been definitely battling

since I've arrived here

is the whole withdrawn kind of personality thing.

I mean, there's gonna come a point in this competition

where you almost have to force yourself to be more vocal

and to be just more outwardly present

with who you are as a drag queen.

Because otherwise, you're just going to get

further and further and further behind each and every queen,

and the judges aren't even gonna see you anymore.

I don't think it'll go on that long.

I think you'll go home.

But that's resigning yourself, and that's what I don't get.

We didn't come here to give up this easily.

Yeah.

Literally, last night was the worst night

that I have had here so far.

I went back to my room, and there was a lot of tears

and a lot of self-talks that I had with myself.

And it all wraps right back around

to that whole personality thing.

And it's not an excuse, it's a fact.

Oh, girl. Child.

All right, queens, five minutes.

Thank you, Five.

-I love it. -Ooh!

Here we go.

I am the one person in this competition

struggling more than the other girls.

I am disappointed,

but I am just trying to keep my mind on-track,

because I do not want to go home.

It sucks that I'm in the bottom again,

but if I have to lip sync, I need to breathe,

and then, like, start it brand-new

and realize that this is the new chance

for me to prove myself to Ru and the judges.

All right, queens, let's head to the runway.

All right.

This way, girls.graphic

RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.

Brita, Aiden, the time has come...

for you to lip sync...

for...

your life!

Brita...

shantay you stay.

Aiden, you are a queen with a special power.

Never let it go.

Now sashay away.

From the moment I arrived at this competition,

I have struggled to stay out of my head

and stay out of my own way.

I have been continuously underestimated

and I was picked as the weakest link

and it was hard for me to make real friendships.

[sighs] Oh.

Oh, my God, so many notes. [chuckles]

Heidi.

"Dear Aiden, I love you so much.

"I'm sad to see you leave

because you left me here with these big-city queens."

[laughs]

"I'm going to continue to represent

"for the small-town queens, but most importantly, for you.

"Remember, stay beautiful, unique,

"and always soft and sssupple.

Love, Heidi."

Aw.

It sucks going home this early.

I wish I'd had more time

to open up and get to know the other girls.

Even though certain times I was misunderstood in some ways,

I still think they all are really great fucking people,

and I can't wait to get to know them more.

So thank you, everybody.

The one thing I can definitely walk away from this knowing

is that it doesn't matter where you come from

or what your background is

or what level of experience you have.

You know, if you have something within yourself

that you know is worth showing to the world,

then you need to fucking own it and find that voice

to just be who you authentically are.

If I scream when there's no queens around to hear it,

does it still make a sound?

Aaaaaah!

I may not be as big and as loud as some of these other girls,

but I'm really proud of myself.

Just because I'm quiet doesn't mean shit.

Because I kept up with these other queens,

and I did it on my own.

You haven't seen the last of me, ladies and gents.

Bye!9 queens
