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.

All cameras re-po.

RuPaul: You're all
just fabulous.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

You may leave the stage.

Getting this far
in the competition

means that I can absolutely
make the top four.

It would hurt like hell

to know that
you were so close

to getting your dream,
and it's not coming true.

And, bitch, I'm not gonna
go home without the crown.

I've been in the top
and the bottom,

but I haven't won anything,

so I feel like I'm
a little bit of the underdog

going into this.

But I think
I should be in the top four.

I think I've shown growth

in way that some
of the other girls haven't.

And knowing what we've known
about past finales,

if it goes down the same way,

then we're walking
into the top four

with a completely blank slate.

It's still anyone's game.graphic

-Cut. Untucked cameras.
-Untucked cameras rolling.

Marker.

-Coming.
-Walking.

Queens walking.

Oh. Ooh.

Oh, my gosh.

-I love Untucked.
-Whew.

Final countdown.

Last one.

-Oh, Lord.
-Girls.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Aah.

-Bittersweet.
-Yeah.

-To the bitter end.
-[laughs]

How are y'all feeling?

I really don't know
how it's gonna go,

but I will say
regardless of who lip syncs,

-I feel like we all are winners.
-Oh, yeah.

And they said we made it
hard on them once again,

which has been--we've
done that a few times...

Yeah, I can't count
that many times.

During this competition.

And you also know
what is really crazy?

We started out this challenge
and the first number,

Baby, I Made It,
in our opening look.

♪ Baby, I made it ♪

♪ I made it ♪

♪ I see the runway
right out the door ♪

♪ Baby, I made it ♪

♪ I made it ♪

♪ This is the moment
I've waited for ♪

♪ I made it ♪

It's like--
kind of like so weird

because when
we walked in that werkroom,

it was, like, oh, my God,

I made it
to RuPaul's Drag Race, right?

And then we do this number,
and they're looking at us, like,

baby, I made it to the top five.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

I mean, not any one of us

can say that
we haven't grown so much.

Yeah.

Was it weird
getting back into that look?

It was weird because I didn't
feel like that girl anymore.

Yeah.

-You know what I mean?
-Yeah.

I walked in here, being, like,

oh, I'm, like,
a little, like, princess

and, like, ♪ la la la ♪

I was almost,
like, feeling my Jan-tasy

I feel like I've kind of

left that girl behind
a little bit,

and hopefully
I'm a little realer

than that girl who walked in
that first day.

Yeah.

At least I have
more of an understanding

of who I am.

Yeah.

Girls always say
you don't know what it's like

till you're inside of here--

Honey.

It's not like
it's just so crazy.

That's not really
what I've gotten out of this.

It just means you look inside
so much more

than you ever thought
you needed to do.

Like, I thought I had
most of who I am figured out.

But I feel like I'm learning
so much, you know.

Even this week
I'm learning more.

I've learned a lot

over the last however many weeks
in this competition.

Being myself, being unafraid
of being larger than life,

not getting too in my head,

not being too cerebral,

but still honoring
who I really am

and where I come from,

and I did more
than I thought was possible.

I surprised even myself
in this competition.

I deserve
to go all the way to the end.

I have no idea, actually,

who's in the bottom
at this point.

I mean, I couldn't tell you
who got the worst critique.

We all got little things

that they kind of
dinged us on here and there.

And I think they just said them
because at this point,

they've said that they're
splitting hairs, you know.

This is the first time
Ru has ever said

this is
the strongest group of girls,

and she keeps saying "iconic."

Like, when has she ever called

an entire group of girls
standing on that stage iconic?

You're all so good.

Each of you
on the stage tonight,

i-con-ic.

I can't say enough
about you girls honestly.

I'm a big, big fan.

I really am.

You're all fantastic!

I was gagged, honey.

I was, like, oh, my God.

But we don't know
how the judges will handle it.

We don't know, like,
how they'll deliberate.

I don't know.

Obviously, like, I hope
it comes down to track record

and, like, runway
and everything.

Shit, just,
I mean, obviously because

I've done very well
in this competition.

Ultimately
whether it does or not,

don't get in my way.

Fuck you all.

Aah!

I was, like, oh.subtitle

So say it is track record,

and, I mean,
does anybody hope it does?

Is anybody, like, nervous
if it does?

Um, I guess I don't know.

I feel like my record is this.

Jaida: Yeah.

Yeah.

So I'm, like, isn't that good?

Right, that's the thing

is a track record
is such a loose thing.

Yeah, cray, because
track record could be,

like, oh, my God, they won
so many challenges.

And for me and Gigi,

we both won, like, a challenge
that was about aesthetics,

we won a challenge that was
about comedy,

we won a challenge
that was about acting.

So you could say, oh, well,
they're really well-rounded.

But that
doesn't necessarily mean

that because
you've won challenges

that that to the judges is
what is the best track record.

That's the thing is,
track record is, like,

a very loose term.

Like you said, yours is a very,
like, gradual bottom to top,

which is essentially
what they're looking for

if you started in the bottom.

Personally, I feel
I kind of started up here

and then towards the end
it kind of got a little rocky,

and then, you know,
it came back up.

But we've all hit high notes
and low notes.

I mean, let's be honest.

I'm the only one here
without a maxi challenge win,

so if track record
is something they're looking at,

which makes sense--

I mean, we're crowning
America's next drag superstar,

so I understand
if track record comes in there.

And my track record's
been like this.

Like, I've been in the top
so many times

and never clinched that win.

I think the judges
have been surprised

that I have
the tenacity that I do,

that I've been able, to, like,

claw myself out of the bottom
multiple times.

But that's what
brings it back to, like,

it's been very clear that
when you've hit a low point,

you've worked harder
than anybody else

to dig yourself out of that.

And that doesn't go
unnoticed, you know.

It's, like,
I think we keep forgetting

that, like,
he personally picked

every single one of us
to be here.

Like, that's nuts.

How many girls
auditioned for this shit?

I think the reason
that we are the top five

is only because we delivered
on the potential that he saw.

-Yeah.
-For sure.

We each have
our own strengths, right?

And, like, your strength
is why you're here.

I think tonight I really spent
more time in that makeup mirror

than I ever do, you know.

I spent more time
working on that dance.

Like, I skinned my hand
working on it in the hotel room

just because I was, like,
I need to make sure

that I show Jamal

that I can be sexy
when I dance, you know,

coming off of the Ru-sical
last time.

So if I'm in the bottom two,

like, I'm gonna claw my way back

into the top four again,
you know.end act

I know I'm coming into this

in a little bit
of an underdog position.

I'm just fighting to be
the best version of myself.

This is our last Untucked.

I think a fun game
that we should play

is our favorite moment
of Untucked.

-Yay!
-I'll go first.

No, I wanna go fuck you,
fuck you.

fuck you, fuck you,
fuck you, fuck you.

And fuck you!

Okay, that was really close.

Oh, is that not your favorite?

-But that's not mine.
-[laughs]

My favorite Untucked moment

was when I sat right there
next to Whoopi.

Oh, that was--
oh, my God.

Always walk up this way

in the light
with your head up

and a "fuck you" on your lips.

[all laugh]

Like, everything she said

was, like, how do I store this
in my brain forever?

It was, like, such good advice.

You know what?

Funniest moment was when
Leslie Jones came in here.

Then out of nowhere,
she just was, like,

that's an ugly-ass shoe.

I'm gonna
throw these shoes away.

Would you sign one first,
though?

Can you sign
this ugly-ass shoe?

I do wanna sign that shoe.

Hang on, bitch.
I'm gonna get a marker.

I'm signing this fucking shoe.

[all laugh]

Widow Von'Du,
Minnie Mouse yellow shoes.

I was, like, gagged.

I'm, like,
I thought we were here

for fun and cocktails,

but, bitch, bring on the laughs.

And then I feel like
my favorite moment

definitely when AOC
came back here.

The people who change
what people think

are artists and drag queens.

It starts with you.

I mean, you're patriots.

You are. You are.

I mean, like, right now
in the world,

like, what is happening,

and, like, somebody
who is so important

and so busy would take time
to come and see us...

Yeah.

Child, sickening.

All right.
Since Jan isn't here

and our large button is gone--

Let me grab it for you.

I will now
waddle over to the mini button.

Yeah, bring it over.

-Trade of the season.
-You're strong.

Come on, trade of the season.

Strong trade. Oh...

What was our shadiest--

What do you think was
the shadiest moment in Untucked?

Each one
of our shadiest moments. Go.

The shadiest moment for me

was when Brita asked us

who did we think
would be the bottom,

and I was going to tell Aiden

I thought she would be
in that position,

but then her performance
was good,

and she started going off
on everybody.

Bitch then let me have it.

When did I come for you?

Let her finish.
Let her finish.

-Let me finish.
-Let her finish.

Well, I mean, I just got
completely interrupted.

I have been taking it
from all directions.

Everybody in this competition,
bitch,

been taking it
from all different directions.

Y'all have been calling out
my name this entire time.

Aiden, Aiden, Aiden,
Aiden, Aiden, Aiden, Aiden.

We are having a conversation,

and had you not
interrupted me so rudely,

I would have been able
to finish my statement

like I was going to.

I'm, like, bitch, wait a minute.

No, ma'am.

Shadiest moment was when
Gigi said Heidi was ugly.

[all scream]

You're a sickening performer,

but they've told you
week after week

that you have to improve
on your face.

The shadiest moment for me

was when Sherry and Jackie
came back

and read everybody's
Snatch Game performances.

Now, that was shady, bitch.

Pop-pop.

This is the challenge

that we all had the most time
to prepare for.

We have known
that this is coming.

That was shady.

Sherry and I were a little shady
in that moment.

Listen.

[laughs]end act

-Joel.
-Joel.

Joel is our special guest
on Untucked.

-Five minutes.
-Save us!

-Gotta go.
-No!

The shadiest moment
is when Joel always comes

and takes people away!

-Don't talk. Don't talk.
-Shadiest moment.

Five minutes.
Go get ready.

[laughs] He's running away.

Joel, never leave us.

I'm proud of myself.

I'm proud of what I've done.

I pushed through,

and I did more
than I thought I could.

I've shown
that I can stay standing,

and I'm still here.

It takes charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent

to be America's
next drag superstar,

but it also takes nerd.

It do take nerd.

This competition
has been really hard on me,

but each week I feel like

I really pushed myself
outside my comfort zone

and proved to myself
that I could do anything.

And this could be
my last chance

to prove to the judges
that I have what it takes.

I can't fuck this up.

All right, queens.
Let's head to the runway please.

Let's have a little, like,
final moment in Untucked.

What about
an energy circle, Sherry?

An energy circle. Yes.

Like we hold hands.

Yes.

I'll start.

I love you guys.

I love you all.

Good luck to all of us,

because no matter what happens,

we all worked really hard
to be here.

I'm so proud of all of us.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I'm gonna squeeze
Crystal's hand,

and we'll just keep it going

until it's, like, just
a bunch of squeezing, right?

-Okay, squeeze.
-Go.

I'm squeezing too tight.

-Faster.
-What? What the--

Ow! What is this?

My God,
it's not that hard, Jaida.

I'm supposed to squeeze
her hand.

Why is she squeezing mine?

Release control.

Jaida's fingers
audibly cracked.

Maybe I had too much energy
for this energy circle.

We worked
really fucking hard, girls.

[cheering]

Yes!

Love you. Sorry about
your fucking hand, Jaida.

-Thanks a lot, Jackie.
-Back to work.

Didn't know
your own strength, I see.

Ready, queens?graphic

RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.

Jackie Cox and Crystal Methyd,

this is your last chance
to impress me

and move on
to the grand finale,

Season 12
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

The time has come

for you to lip sync

for your life!

I've made my decision.

Crystal, shantay you stay.

Jackie Cox. My dear, your
Drag Race journey ends here,

but your life
in the world spotlight

has just begun.

Now sashay away.

I have these two voices
that are always in my head

telling me opposite things
that have led me to this place.

I know how hard it is
for any of us

when we get in our head

and think we can't do something,

and I feel like
I've pushed myself past that.

So the fact
that it wasn't enough is hard.

It's hard to think
that this is the end,

even when you know that you
exceeded your own expectations.

[sighs]

Hello, werkroom
for the last time.

Aah.

Oh, my God.
So much makeup to pack.

[sighs]

When I walked in here,

I thought I knew
everything about myself.

I thought I knew exactly
the challenges

I was gonna slay.

I think I learned that
nothing in life is guaranteed,

and you may be on top one week
and in the bottom the next.

And I think I learned

that I have a lot more
of a fighting spirit

than I knew,

and that
I'm not afraid of that fight.

All right,
let's get this stuff in my bags.

I dealt with a lot of
family issues while I was here,

and I think
I've really made peace

with a lot of what had been
bothering me for so long

about things
that my mom had said.

But I know
how much she loves me,

and that's what gives me hope
that she'll see

that just because my life

ended up completely differently
than what she imagined,

that I'm okay
and I'm making good choices

and that I have people
in my life who care about me

and I'm going to achieve

everything I want to
with my life.

Okay.

As upsetting as this is,

I'm still so proud

and it feels amazing to find
this fighter within myself

that I didn't know I had.

Bye, werkroom.

I'll see you again.

I can go out
without any regrets.

I'm leaving this competition
with amazing new friends,

with skills
I didn't know I had,

with words of wisdom

from people I've admired
my whole life,

and with the knowledge

that the only thing
that's ever held me back

is myself.

So as long
as I get out of my own way,

I can do anything I want
with this.

All right, America.
It's your turn.

Time to vote.

I'm talking about in November.

Go out and vote, people.

I love you.

I'll miss you.

Bye!
