490
00:16:09,669 --> 00:16:10,970
in about nine months.

491
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:11,971
- Okay.

492
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,239
- All right, goodbye.

493
00:16:13,239 --> 00:16:15,141
- Bye, girl.

494
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:16,142
- Oh, bitch.

495
00:16:16,142 --> 00:16:17,276
- Oh.

496
00:16:17,276 --> 00:16:19,011
- Oh, hello.
- How'd it go?

497
00:16:19,011 --> 00:16:20,079
- I'm sorry.

498
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:21,080
I'm shook.

499
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,081
- How was it?

500
00:16:22,081 --> 00:16:23,616
- It was something.

501
00:16:23,616 --> 00:16:24,817
It was nerve-racking,
but it was fun.

502
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:26,886
It was fun.
Let me go de-drag.

503
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:31,123
Let me join you naked women,
naked mole rats.

504
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:33,492
- I've seen the girls de-drag
at the bar a million times,

505
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:36,062
but for some reason,
under these LEDs, it's like,

506
00:16:36,062 --> 00:16:37,797
oh, that's a man.

507
00:16:37,797 --> 00:16:39,432
[laughs]

508
00:16:39,432 --> 00:16:40,533
- You look so different.
- Yeah.

509
00:16:40,533 --> 00:16:41,534
- Me?

510
00:16:41,534 --> 00:16:42,869
- Yeah.

511
00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:45,538
- You go from horrifying
ugly clowns to, you know,

512
00:16:45,538 --> 00:16:47,139
handsome men.

513
00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:48,274
If any of these girls
think they're

514
00:16:48,274 --> 00:16:51,911
the trade of the season,
they're mistaken.

515
00:16:51,911 --> 00:16:55,181
The only trade that I see is,
you know, the kind that I want

516
00:16:55,181 --> 00:16:58,351
to trade in for replacements.

517
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:01,187
It's true.

518
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:02,722
- Uh, next.

519
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:05,057
Ma'am, what's your name?
- Megami.

520
00:17:05,057 --> 00:17:08,027
- Is that like the Japanese
thing they do with the paper?

521
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:09,095
- Sure.

522
00:17:09,095 --> 00:17:10,429
- And what is that
you are wearing?

523
00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:11,731
- An entire cathedral.

524
00:17:11,731 --> 00:17:13,266
- Oh, are you religious?

525
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:15,835
- Oh, Ru, I am a Christian
woman, you know?

526
00:17:15,835 --> 00:17:17,436
- Oh, oh, okay.

527
00:17:17,436 --> 00:17:19,639
- In the beginning,
Deuteronomy.

528
00:17:19,639 --> 00:17:20,873
- She-teronomy.

529
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:22,842
- This is, like,
what I was born to do.

530
00:17:22,842 --> 00:17:24,610
I live for the camera.

531
00:17:24,610 --> 00:17:28,414
- Presbyterian,
Baptist, Scientology.

532
00:17:30,416 --> 00:17:33,052
[laughter]

533
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:34,687
- Now give us the resurrection.

534
00:17:34,687 --> 00:17:36,355
- Give us the erection.

535
00:17:36,355 --> 00:17:37,423
- It's very tight in there.

536
00:17:37,423 --> 00:17:38,457
I can't.

537
00:17:38,457 --> 00:17:39,625
- Oh, you ain't saved then.

538
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:41,127
- Yeah, you is not saved.

539
00:17:41,127 --> 00:17:42,762
- Come back
when you know the Lord.

540
00:17:42,762 --> 00:17:44,030
- All right,
so I'm gonna write

541
00:17:44,030 --> 00:17:46,732
erectile dysfunction on here.

542
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,000
- Bye, girl.

543
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,368
- Next.

544
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:51,070
[quirky music]

545
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:52,605
- Got another one
sitting over there asleep.

546
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:53,606
- Ma'am?

547
00:17:53,606 --> 00:17:54,740
- I'm concerned.

548
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:56,809
Like, should I wake
Mhi'ya up here,

549
00:17:56,809 --> 00:17:58,577
or should I just cut the line?

550
00:17:58,577 --> 00:17:59,679
- Ma'am!

551
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:00,846
- Next.
- Ma'am.

552
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:02,048
- We ain't got all day.

553
00:18:02,048 --> 00:18:04,016
- Ma'am, let's see
how you back a car up.

554
00:18:04,016 --> 00:18:05,017
- Uh-huh.

555
00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:06,052
Oh, oh, okay.

556
00:18:06,052 --> 00:18:07,253
Beep, beep, beep.

00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:08,254
Throttle.

558
00:18:08,254 --> 00:18:09,255
Okay.

559
00:18:09,255 --> 00:18:10,890
Now slam it in park.

560
00:18:11,724 --> 00:18:12,725
both: Oh!

561
00:18:12,725 --> 00:18:15,127
- Honey, she done
parked that car.

562
00:18:15,127 --> 00:18:16,896
- These bitches
got me on my knees.

563
00:18:16,896 --> 00:18:18,097
I'm doing splits.

564
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:19,098
I'm feeling my oats.

565
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:20,833
I'm feeling queen of flips.

566
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:23,336
- Now, ma'am,
if you had to back it up slow,

567
00:18:23,336 --> 00:18:25,104
how would you do it?

568
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,640
- Oh, we can't use that
for your license,

569
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,743
but I'll take a few copies
of that right there.

570
00:18:30,743 --> 00:18:32,945
Beep, beep, beep.

571
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:34,780
Are those
prescription sunglasses?

572
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:36,215
- This one is, not this one.

573
00:18:36,215 --> 00:18:37,316
- [laughs]

574
00:18:37,316 --> 00:18:39,385
- Can you read this?

575
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:44,757
- "I like big dicky."

576
00:18:44,757 --> 00:18:45,958
- That's right.
- Oh, that's right.

577
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:48,127
- And ma'am, what is
under that raincoat?

578
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:50,529
Get the camera ready, honey.
- I'm ready.

- Oh, my God.

- Goodness.
Talk about low hanging fruit.

- Ooh.
- Damn.

583
00:18:57,570 --> 00:18:59,305
Well, the ones in the coat,
they look a little bit brown.

584
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:00,439
They too ripe for me.

585
00:19:00,439 --> 00:19:01,807
- Oh, would you like this one?

586
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:04,210
- Well, that one looks
like it's not ripe enough.

587
00:19:04,210 --> 00:19:06,412
[laughter]

588
00:19:06,412 --> 00:19:10,116
- I am going absolutely
bonkers in the She-MV.

589
00:19:10,116 --> 00:19:12,018
I know what these two
are thinking.

590
00:19:12,018 --> 00:19:13,986
They want a piece
of my bananas.

591
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:16,922
- [laughs]
All right, we got a picture?

592
00:19:16,922 --> 00:19:18,024
- We got a picture, Mama.

593
00:19:18,024 --> 00:19:19,291
- Okay, ma'am,
thank you very much.

594
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:20,826
You can take your bananas
and leave.

595
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:22,328
- Would you like some?

596
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:23,863
- I'm allergic to bananas.

597
00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:25,464
- Yeah, yeah.

- Oh, it's the banana peeler.

- Don't slip, don't slip.
[laughter]

601
00:19:30,736 --> 00:19:32,972
- We just finished
our photo shoot.

00:19:32,972 --> 00:19:34,306
Y'all are men.

603
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:38,744
Finally, I can take
all of this shit off.

Geneva Karr, to me, has
the biggest transformation.

607
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:47,186
I feel like it's someone
I would go to their home

608
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:48,454
and then have a meal.

609
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:49,889
Geneva Karr gives

[laughs]

612
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:57,797
- The person that looks the
most different is Plane Jane.

613
00:19:57,797 --> 00:20:04,470
She went from sex kitten
dominatrix to this '50s actor.

614
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:06,439
Like, her bone structure
is sickening.

615
00:20:06,439 --> 00:20:08,307
And I think that's what's
making me go, oh, okay.

00:20:08,307 --> 00:20:10,309
Okay, girl.

been to Orlando.

"RuPaul's Drag Race" season 16?

- I'm gonna be honest
with you girls.

I walked in the Werk Room

- Plane Jane is one to kind
of, like, watch out for.

I feel like we're either
gonna be great friends

00:20:40,706 --> 00:20:42,041
or great frenemies.

and a swimsuit
for when it's hot.

1291
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:23,354
- Oh.

1292
00:45:23,354 --> 00:45:25,456
- Oh, beach better have
my money.

1293
00:45:25,456 --> 00:45:28,593
- Mhi'ya is known for being
a pageantry girl,

1294
00:45:28,593 --> 00:45:31,095
a fashionista,
just a bad bitch.

1295
00:45:31,095 --> 00:45:33,764
I'm feeling hot and fabulous.

1296
00:45:33,764 --> 00:45:35,132
- If the glove fits...

1297
00:45:35,132 --> 00:45:36,400
- You must acquit.

1298
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,369
- Or you must do the splits.

1299
00:45:38,369 --> 00:45:39,403
- That.

1300
00:45:39,403 --> 00:45:41,439
- Geneva Karr.

1301
00:45:41,439 --> 00:45:43,507
Ooh, mariachi.

1302
00:45:43,507 --> 00:45:47,478
- Oh, you see Mario, and then,
boom, I turn into Maria.

1303
00:45:47,478 --> 00:45:48,579
- Whoo!

1304
00:45:48,579 --> 00:45:50,982
- See ya, señor.

1305
00:45:50,982 --> 00:45:52,717
- My grandparents would
listen to mariachi music,

1306
00:45:52,717 --> 00:45:54,619
so I hold that
close to my heart.

1307
00:45:54,619 --> 00:45:56,387
And then there's
this feminine outfit

1308
00:45:56,387 --> 00:45:59,023
that my grandmothers would
wear for special occasions.

1309
00:45:59,023 --> 00:46:00,925
I didn't leave no shit
on the floor.

1310
00:46:00,925 --> 00:46:02,059
It was a reveal,

1311
00:46:02,059 --> 00:46:03,260
not a "take things off"
kind of gig.

1312
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:07,031
- Mamacita, may I
cha cha with danger?

1313
00:46:07,031 --> 00:46:08,366
- Besitos.

1314
00:46:08,366 --> 00:46:09,467
- Megami.
- Oh.

1315
00:46:09,467 --> 00:46:10,768
- Wow.

1316
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:13,237
- I think your mascara
is running.

1317
00:46:13,237 --> 00:46:15,940
- Since Megami means
"goddess," I wanted to be

1318
00:46:15,940 --> 00:46:19,243
an all-seeing goddess
above all of this

1319
00:46:19,243 --> 00:46:21,412
disgusting human trash.

1320
00:46:21,412 --> 00:46:22,847
But where are my eyes?

1321
00:46:22,847 --> 00:46:25,716
Then I reveal,
they're in my hands.

1322
00:46:25,716 --> 00:46:28,719
- The palms are
the windows to the soul.

1323
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:29,720
- Are they?

1324
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:31,589
- Apparently.

1325
00:46:31,589 --> 00:46:33,624
- Plane Jane.

1326
00:46:33,624 --> 00:46:35,026
- Princess Elsa.

1327
00:46:35,026 --> 00:46:36,727
- Elsa could never.

1328
00:46:36,727 --> 00:46:40,431
- I am gliding down the runway
in my gorgeous

1329
00:46:40,431 --> 00:46:43,768
Romanov dynasty-inspired
Russian robe.

1330
00:46:43,768 --> 00:46:47,371
And then I gently disrobe
to reveal

1331
00:46:47,371 --> 00:46:49,407
a big-titted Boston bimbo.

1332
00:46:49,407 --> 00:46:50,408
- Oh.

1333
00:46:50,408 --> 00:46:52,276
- Okay.
- Wow.

1334
00:46:52,276 --> 00:46:54,412
- [laughs]

1335
00:46:54,412 --> 00:46:58,849
- She's ready to congratulate
the team after their big win.

1336
00:46:58,849 --> 00:47:00,184
[laughs]

1337
00:47:00,184 --> 00:47:02,453
- Show me on the doll
where Bean Town is.

1338
00:47:02,453 --> 00:47:04,188
[laughter]

1339
00:47:04,188 --> 00:47:07,725
- This outfit is
a perfect encapsulation

1340
00:47:07,725 --> 00:47:09,260
of my drag persona.

1341
00:47:09,260 --> 00:47:12,296
Not only is it stunning,
it's also campy.

1342
00:47:12,296 --> 00:47:13,597
- Is that a burger finger?

1343
00:47:13,597 --> 00:47:15,666
- [laughs]

1344
00:47:16,233 --> 00:47:17,735
- Welcome, queens.

1345
00:47:17,735 --> 00:47:21,706
This week, your fate lies in
the hands of your competitors.

1346
00:47:21,706 --> 00:47:23,507
[suspenseful music]

1347
00:47:23,507 --> 00:47:25,776
The judges and I will
provide critiques,

1348
00:47:25,776 --> 00:47:31,048
but then it's up to you
to rate your fellow queens.

1349
00:47:31,048 --> 00:47:33,617
Up first, Nymphia Wind.

1350
00:47:33,617 --> 00:47:34,618
- This shit is bananas.

1351
00:47:34,618 --> 00:47:36,020
- [laughs]

1352
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:37,722
- It's funny.
It's campy. It's drag.

1353
00:47:37,722 --> 00:47:40,458
Every little detail
is perfection.

1354
00:47:40,458 --> 00:47:43,794
- And that was
a beautiful performance.

1355
00:47:43,794 --> 00:47:46,697
The sleeve-ography
was very impressive.

1356
00:47:46,697 --> 00:47:49,033
And I love when culture is
brought to the main stage

1357
00:47:49,033 --> 00:47:51,302
because it lets us in
to who you are.

1358
00:47:51,302 --> 00:47:52,369
- And I love bananas.

1359
00:47:52,369 --> 00:47:53,904
Like, who doesn't love bananas?

1360
00:47:53,904 --> 00:47:56,107
- If this is just
a taste of who you are,

1361
00:47:56,107 --> 00:47:58,342
I am ready for a buffet.

1362
00:47:58,342 --> 00:48:01,312
- All right, up next,
Hershii Liquor Store Jeté.

1363
00:48:01,312 --> 00:48:03,380
- That's me.

1364
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:05,349
- Are you related
to our Kornbread?

1365
00:48:05,349 --> 00:48:06,851
- I am.

1366
00:48:06,851 --> 00:48:09,153
I'm her sister and her best
friend and her aggravation.

1367
00:48:09,153 --> 00:48:11,288
[laughter]

1368
00:48:11,288 --> 00:48:12,456
- Let's talk about this first.

1369
00:48:12,456 --> 00:48:14,558
I love this color on you.
- Thank you.

1370
00:48:14,558 --> 00:48:16,527
- My issue with it is
that is a weird-ass length.

1371
00:48:16,527 --> 00:48:18,295
That length won't work
for anyone.

1372
00:48:18,295 --> 00:48:19,997
It just looks like
it was a mistake.

1373
00:48:19,997 --> 00:48:21,465
- I understand.

1374
00:48:21,465 --> 00:48:22,933
- But nonetheless, I love
the way you did your number.

1375
00:48:22,933 --> 00:48:23,934
It was funny.

1376
00:48:23,934 --> 00:48:25,302
It was filled with energy.

1377
00:48:25,302 --> 00:48:26,737
- Whiplash and a full bush.

1378
00:48:26,737 --> 00:48:28,239
I'm there for it.

1379
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,709
It's really a smart way to
brand yourself with something.

1380
00:48:31,709 --> 00:48:33,844
You're now the whiplash queen.

1381
00:48:33,844 --> 00:48:34,845
- Who wrote the song?

1382
00:48:34,845 --> 00:48:35,846
- Kornbread did, actually.

1383
00:48:35,846 --> 00:48:37,281
- Kornbread wrote the song?

1384
00:48:37,281 --> 00:48:39,717
And what did Kornbread say
to look out for?

1385
00:48:39,717 --> 00:48:40,718
- Don't embarrass her.

1386
00:48:40,718 --> 00:48:41,819
That's all she said to me.

1387
00:48:41,819 --> 00:48:43,587
[laughter]

1388
00:48:43,587 --> 00:48:45,523
- Up next, Plasma.

1389
00:48:45,523 --> 00:48:46,824
- You're probably
on pins and needles

1390
00:48:46,824 --> 00:48:48,058
to hear what
I'm gonna say, right?

1391
00:48:48,058 --> 00:48:49,360
- Oh, God.

1392
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,297
- This runway look,
exquisite and so fun.

1393
00:48:53,297 --> 00:48:54,398
- Tea for two.

1394
00:48:54,398 --> 00:48:55,399
The tea was hot.

1395
00:48:55,399 --> 00:48:56,700
I was so impressed.

1396
00:48:56,700 --> 00:48:58,035
She's an "actreese."

1397
00:48:58,035 --> 00:48:59,270
She's a singer.

1398
00:48:59,270 --> 00:49:00,771
She can do impressions.

1399
00:49:00,771 --> 00:49:02,339
- But you did a lot.

1400
00:49:02,339 --> 00:49:04,241
You were doing burlesque.

1401
00:49:04,241 --> 00:49:06,110
You were singing,
lip-synching,

1402
00:49:06,110 --> 00:49:07,912
and doing impressions.

1403
00:49:07,912 --> 00:49:10,548
I loved it, but I feel like
sometimes it's better

1404
00:49:10,548 --> 00:49:13,017
to pare it down
to be a master at one

1405
00:49:13,017 --> 00:49:15,186
instead of a master of none.

1406
00:49:15,186 --> 00:49:18,722
- Up next,
Mhi'ya Iman LePaige.

1407
00:49:18,722 --> 00:49:21,225
- If you're gonna do a reveal,
give us some time

1408
00:49:21,225 --> 00:49:24,161
to get used to what you're
wearing before you reveal it,

1409
00:49:24,161 --> 00:49:25,629
so it has more of an impact.

1410
00:49:25,629 --> 00:49:27,031
- Okay.
- But I'll tell you,

1411
00:49:27,031 --> 00:49:30,434
what did have an impact
is that number that you did.

1412
00:49:30,434 --> 00:49:31,869
- Is your tuck bruised?
Are you okay?

1413
00:49:31,869 --> 00:49:33,003
- [laughs]

1414
00:49:33,003 --> 00:49:34,038
- It's bruised.

1415
00:49:34,038 --> 00:49:35,072
- I know you need
a couple Advil,

1416
00:49:35,072 --> 00:49:37,174
but it was worth it.

1417
00:49:37,174 --> 00:49:39,043
- Now, I'm assuming
you were in gymnastics.

1418
00:49:39,043 --> 00:49:40,477
Is that right?
- No.

1419
00:49:40,477 --> 00:49:41,512
- No?

1420
00:49:41,512 --> 00:49:42,613
How'd you learn how to do that?

1421
00:49:42,613 --> 00:49:43,814
- Self-taught.

1422
00:49:43,814 --> 00:49:45,449
One day, me and my cousins
was out flipping

1423
00:49:45,449 --> 00:49:47,751
and just started flipping.

1424
00:49:47,751 --> 00:49:48,953
- Wait a minute.

1425
00:49:48,953 --> 00:49:50,221
You were out flipping?

1426
00:49:50,221 --> 00:49:51,555
I don't think I've ever
flipped in my life.

1427
00:49:51,555 --> 00:49:53,057
- Not with my cousins anyway.

1428
00:49:53,057 --> 00:49:54,959
[laughter]

1429
00:49:54,959 --> 00:49:58,495
- All right, up next,
Geneva Karr.

1430
00:49:58,495 --> 00:49:59,697
- When you came out and said,

1431
00:49:59,697 --> 00:50:02,700
"Vroom-vroom,
somebody cleared customs,"

1432
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:05,035
I said,
"This bitch is estupido."

1433
00:50:05,035 --> 00:50:06,303
- Mucho.

1434
00:50:06,303 --> 00:50:07,771
- I fell in love with you
instantly.

1435
00:50:07,771 --> 00:50:09,039
- Ah, thank you.

1436
00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:10,908
- Because you showed us
where you came from,

1437
00:50:10,908 --> 00:50:12,409
and you made it drag.

1438
00:50:12,409 --> 00:50:14,211
- And then this was
a beautiful reveal.

1439
00:50:14,211 --> 00:50:16,113
You went for the mariachi,
then it came out to this

1440
00:50:16,113 --> 00:50:18,015
really feminine,
really flirty dress.

1441
00:50:18,015 --> 00:50:19,884
- I might have to fight you
on the crown

1442
00:50:19,884 --> 00:50:22,152
for La Diva Más Latina.

1443
00:50:22,152 --> 00:50:25,222
I loved everything
you brought today,

1444
00:50:25,222 --> 00:50:26,790
and I could not be
any more proud.

1445
00:50:26,790 --> 00:50:28,459
- Gracias.

1446
00:50:28,459 --> 00:50:31,795
- Up next, Megami in the house.

1447
00:50:31,795 --> 00:50:34,765
- I loved the messages
that you were saying.

1448
00:50:34,765 --> 00:50:36,166
I think the issue
