[RuPaul laughing]

[Fred van Leer] Season 13 of the Emmy Award-winning

RuPaul's Drag Race

is a global phenomenon.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

And may the best woman win.

RuPaul, one of the best-known drag queens in the world,

is the inventor and, in America,

the presenter of the program,

that for 12 seasons has run with great success.

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Thanks to him, the phenomenon of drag

has been taken from underground

and elevated to a true art and show form.

Shantay, you stay.

Sashay away.

Drag queens all over the world

show strength and exceptional talent

in the battle for the coveted title

of the Next Drag Superstar.

Anyone who says it's an honor just to be nominated

is one lying bitch.

Now comes this American hit show

with its own Dutch version.

And for RuPaul, there is just one person

who can take on this role.

Me!

Would you like to host Drag Race Holland?

Hell yes!

Listen, I know you're going to do an awesome job,

finding Holland's first Drag Race Superstar.

Yes!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Mama!

Fred? Did I say something wrong?

Oh, my God!

Hello, I am Miss Abby Oh My God.

Abby OMG here.

I am 25 years old.

I am originally from Brazil.

Abby is a Brazilian girl and is also frequently exposed.

I'm gonna show you ass.

Let the other bitches come.

♪ Can you feel the love ♪

I am ChelseaBoy. I am 26 years old.

ChelseaBoy is my self-created ultimate superhero.

ChelseaBoy is my armor, my support and assistance.

Vroom, vroom, bitches.

I'm very surprised by her look,

really a motor chick.

Lovely.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Abby is here!

- Hello! - I knew you'd be here.

You look so good.

I have known ChelseaBoy since I started with drag.

So nice to have you here.

Awesome. Wow.

- Oh, okay. - Bitch!

The OG fish is back! Forever.

I am Janey Jacké. I am 28 years old.

I consider myself a very good drag queen.

Wow, girl, meow, bitch!

- Meow! - Bitch!

- [shrieking] - So proud, girls...

- Can't wait. - Wow.

Wow. Awesome.

Janey is a powerhouse.

She didn't come to play, that's for sure.

I am really very competitive.

If you're in it, you're in it to win it.

[church choir]

Wow.

[church bell]

♪ You, you, you, you ♪

Who wants to get on their knees and confess something to me?

Yoo hoo!

[all laughing]

I'm Megan Schoonbrood.

I have been in the drag queen world for 6 and a half years.

Oh, my God!

I am a queen who prefers to look like a woman,

and I love the illusion of, is it now a man

or a woman, a lady.

They're now smaller.

- What a pity. - Are they smaller?

A cup smaller, or 3. [laughs]

- Oh! - Oh! There she is!

Ooh!

Well, girls, this is a moustache.

I am Madame Madness, also known as Rowan.

I am 23 years old and queen of the Netherlands.

Wow!

I was never really a fan of his.

I find this queen a little bit lazy.

My drag persona is super fierce, weird, madness,

feminine, but also a touch masculine.

[all exclaim]

Oh, my God! Hello!

Visual artwork, just Rembrandt.

- How lovely you look! - Oh, my God!

I can imagine if you ran into her on the street

that you'd be completely confused.

Ah!

[bell jingling]

Oh, what's going on?

- What's happening? - [gasps]

- No! - Did anyone order room service?

[all exclaim]

Fuck, yes!

- I am Roem, 21 years young. - How nice.

I am known as the social media queen.

I'm all over the internet-- Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,

everything, I'm on it.

I really don't know her. I don't know her.

I thought she was coming to clean.

- Have we met before? - Huh? No, never.

Never. Room service.

- Yes, bitch! - Wow.

Living! Okay.

All the queens I see there, I am certainly impressed.

I know a few of them.

Others, I have no idea what to expect.

Well, hello! [all cheering]

Belgium.

Well, I'm here. I'm ready to win!

I am Sederginne. I was born sometime in the '90s.

Oh, my God!

I come from Antwerp and have lived in Amsterdam for one year.

My God! [laughs]

Girl!

Sederginne. [laughs]

[exclaiming]

Sederginne is often perceived to be older.

And for a reason, of course.

Dancing, they think, "That old lady's still got it."

Hi, I'm Roem.

- Hi there. - You robbed Petit Bras, I see.

Yes! [laughing]

[all talking at once]

Oh, she preggo! Oh, she pregnant!

She looks better than all of us!

Ma'MaQueen, who makes women such beautiful clothes.

She really is the seamstress of the Netherlands.

With my heart in the right place,

the future is not far away.

She's with child.

Hello, that girl is about to give birth.

[all exclaiming]

A drag mother is a drag queen who wants to pass on her skills

to people who are not yet drag queens

but want to become one and take the first scary step,

or they need some help,

and that is exactly what I am doing.

I really like Ma'MaQueen. Yay!

Congratulations, when is the due date?

Ma'MaQueen is a great queen.

Look at those cheekbones. Hello!

- This is dirty laundry, yes. - [shrieks]

She is pregnant with a drag queen.

She's pregnant.

Well, girls, does anyone still need to be done up?

[all exclaiming]

Patty Pam-Pam.

She looks adorable, she makes beautiful costumes,

but she cannot talk.

I am Patty Pam-Pam,

the irresistible Queen of the South.

[all talking at once]

I am proud to be a girl from Limburg,

and I always love to come back.

To gay around.

- Game on. - Game on.

[all talking]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Patty Pam-Pam, a daring competitor, for sure.

But, listen, girls, that means

that there is going to be one more girl.

One girl, yes, one girl.

- One girl short. - I am so curious.

[tongue rolling]

And then the last queen walks in.

[all cheering]

Miss Envy Peru.

Surely you don't think I'd let the party pass me by.

I'm Envy Peru.

I'm 32 years old,

and I come from the land of the Incas, Peru.

Ooh!

I was quite timid as a boy,

but Envy taught me to express myself

and not let them walk all over me.

Okay. [all cheering]

Oh, my God! [laughing]

Where should I start?

Envy.

- Ooh. [laughs] - Gag.

Gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag.

Envy, the Netherlands' most famous queen at the moment.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

She is one of the most beautiful drag queens in the Netherlands,

but I think that, in her mind,

she is the most beautiful one of all.

[siren sounding] [all] Ooh!

- Oh, my God! - Yes!

Would that be RuPaul?

Hello, ladies! [all exclaiming]

Welcome to Drag Race Holland.

And greetings from the U.S. of... Hey!

[all] Hey!

Oh, my God. The RuCall. [shrieks]

I just started shaking.

I have spent my whole drag life asleep,

until this very moment.

Queen Máxima, you'd better watch out,

because I need you to put the "tea" in "royalty."

Ooh!

I cannot wait to find out which one of you lucky bitches

is going to be crowned the first Dutch Drag Race Superstar.

Yes!

Remember, my dears,

everything you've ever done in your entire life

has prepared you for this very moment.

- So... - That's right.

...whatever you do...

don't fuck it up.

[all exclaiming]

You know, it starts now... The game is on.

Oh, Fred!

[all] Fred! [all cheering]

How are you girls doing?

Ooh, yummy.

How lovely you look.

Pretty natural. I love it. Yeah, I like it.

Girls, welcome to the very first Drag Race Holland!

[all cheering]

Yes, and Holland is the land of cheese, tulips,

wooden shoes, and so on,

but also with our beautiful queens--

Wilhelmina, Juliana, Beatrix, Máxima--

it is the Land of the Queens! [all agreeing]

Yes! And I know that it is a dream for you,

but also for me, because when you were still just sperm,

I was already in heels somewhere. [snaps] [all laugh]

Just so you know!

What is at stake?

A lot. A lot.

Not only is the winner crowned with an amazing crown

by Fierce Drag Jewels

as the very first Dutch Drag Race Superstar,

but she also wins a cover shoot

for the beautiful Cosmopolitan magazine.

Ooh!

Yes, to top it all off,

there is also a dress.

[all gasp]

And not just any dress. Oh, Pit Crew!

[all exclaiming] Oh, my gosh!

[gasp] [all exclaiming]

[Fred] Yes!

The winner of Drag Race Holland

gets this handmade haute couture dress

worth 18.000 euros...

What?!

...designed by none other than Claes Iversen,

the man behind so many sublime creations

for our very own Queen Máxima!

- Yes! - Do you understand? Yes.

And as RuPaul said, Máxima should watch out,

because soon, the Netherlands will have another queen.

So, I would say, "Don't fuck it up."

[all exclaiming]

But the very first challenge has more to do with our king

than with our queen.

Okay.

Let me put it this way.

I hope you've stayed dry for a long time.

Yeah. Yes, my source has long since dried out.

[all laugh]

- Bring it on! - [Fred] Bring it on.

[all exclaiming]

- Look, yeah, wow. - Wow!

It's the water tank challenge.

I'm really looking forward to it.

You've come up with a beautiful guy from the pit stop,

but I'd like to introduce you to this lovely guy.

Jasper Suyk, a very good photographer...

Nice to meet you. ChelseaBoy.

...for all kinds of magazines, from nudes to high-end fashion,

and he's going to shoot you.

The Netherlands. Underwater.

- Exciting. - Is it?

- It's going to be tough. - Exciting, with that leather.

But it's going to be okay. I'm a good swimmer.

Are you?

I passed beginning swimming. But I can save myself.

[laughs]

- That's the important thing. - Enjoy.

- And down under, baby. - Alright!

I don't think I should worry too much

if I get deep enough underwater,

because I'm also wearing a leather suit,

so, I think it will all be fine.

Hi.

[laugh] Hi. What a surprise, huh? Lovely.

This is really a dream come true.

I'm fucking looking in the mood. I'm going to look great.

I have my pose already in my head.

Okay, this is totally good.

Yeah. Go deep.

It has to be a lot deeper.

Let yourself go all the way down. Down.

Legs together. What a crazy thing to say.

Boy, was I wrong!

Expectations... reality.

I can't dive in this water.

Once again. There we go.

[camera clicks] Lots of hair.

It turned out slightly different than I had thought beforehand.

Yeah, and then we have to jump in that bath,

but I was wearing a lot of clothes.

So, yes, I'm fucked, basically.

My ass is a little too heavy for this. I'm holding on.

[comical sound]

- I'll hold it. - Lovely.

I can feel my coat, my tights,

all filling up with water.

[inhales]

Oh, boys.

- Yeah? - Yes. Go for it.

No, it didn't work out.

I'm not sinking.

[laughs]

Your eyelashes on your face...

[laughing]

That was a bit of...

"Which way is this going?"

[laughing]

[Fred] I have to laugh.

I can't breathe.

[laughing]

Oh, my God, this is really not sexy.

Anyway, I'm going for it. Another dive...

[Fred] And Sinead O'Connor.

Wig off, I thought...

"This is the worst-- worst-case scenario of all."

Do you know the movie It by Stephen King?

[laugh echoing]

Is it a good temperature?

Of course, darling, it's at your temperature, -20.

- [growling] - Yes, exactly.

[yelling]

Splash, backwards into the water. There we go.

Ooh!

Bring it on.

Okay. Go straight down.

Legs together and down.

Hey. [laughs] No, no.

[camera clicks] [harp music]

OMG! It's Abby OMG!

Ass in. Okay, Abby. Bring it on.

Yeah, jeez, guys, look at this.

Very beautiful.

I think I'm doing a good job.

I'm really in my element now.

I am already water resistant. I am a mermaid.

I live in a house with girls, with drag queens.

And that is the Mermaid Mansion.

I, Abby OMG, and Miss Envy Peru,

we are really sisters.

We stand up for each other.

Ooh! [all laughing]

I'm going now face-to-face against my little sister Abby.

But it is still a competition.

Here, our sisterhood is no longer applicable.

I am here for myself. She is here for herself.

There will be certain emotions,

but, sorry, Abby, I'm also here to win.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[camera clicks]

[laughs] Hi, hi.

So, there I go. Oh, Lord!

[laughs] Good, good.

And there goes your wig, my friend.

Oh, I feel terrible.

Okay. Let's go.

[laughing] Alright.

- Oh, wonderful. - Oh, wow, huh?

Look, look. Yes!

You are also pregnant from the back, I see. Hi.

Okay, Ma'Ma, bring it on!

Yes, look.

Yes, yes...

- Great. - Great.

What an impossible task this is.

Oh, my gosh.

[burps]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[camera clicks] Okay, Ma'Ma.

It'd be nice if your eyelashes showed up. [laughing]

- Have you seen where we are? - Oh, God.

This is the tank.

There is the dreaded water tank.

I felt a tension going through my body.

- Oh! I find this terrifying. - Do you find it scary?

I'm deathly afraid of water.

Well, they'd say to cross yourself.

- Well, okay. - [laughing]

Flip the button, make jokes for a moment.

You're wearing briefs, right? [laughing]

- Can you see my balls? - [laughing]

Success!

- Thank you! - There we go!

- Go deeper! - Hold yourself.

Oh, it's not deep enough.

Come on.

Oh, what is she gonna do?

- Oh, girl. Well. - Well.

There are nine of us waiting,

and you are not gonna tell me

that this fucking container will send me home.

No way.

- Okay, Janey. Are you ready? - I'm ready.

I'm the OG fish.

Throw me in a tank of water, and I'm home, honey, yes.

This is my forte.

Good luck.

Very beautiful. It's going very well.

See what an eel she is?

[camera clicks]

[all cheering]

[all talking]

I thought it was an old woman from Amsterdam.

[all laugh]

How appetizing.

I didn't expect all the looks.

Ma'MaQueen is also very tall.

And then she takes off her wig,

and she still has a lot hair.

Abby, I have to say, is

the queen with the looks out of drag.

Super beautiful guy.

Super beautiful body. Small, sweet, adorable.

That's one to watch. [all gasp]

- Ah! - She's bald.

She's bald.

- Wig snap. - Oh, my God, Janey.

Actually, she still looked lovely,

and her hair was still perfect.

What a group of girls.

Like boys. Lovely.

Well, well.

This is so different. This is really psycho for me.

But, yes, this was the first challenge.

And it was fun and heavy.

[all laugh] Jesus.

I look to you for a second.

This was one of the most difficult challenges

you can think of.

For you, but also for me.

But I have to say, some were really good.

Who felt like a fish in water?

Who is the mermaid of this mission?

Miss Abby OMG! [all cheering]

The first challenge.

Ahh!

Of course, I was already bitter,

but if you're already wearing a bikini in this challenge,

then it's very easy.

Get some rest and dry off for a while,

and tomorrow, we have the very first runway.

Yes! [cheering]

- I still have something small. - Uh-oh.

- I've got another assignment. - [groans]

I would like to have an answer tomorrow

to the following question:

What makes you so unique and distinctive,

that you'll take off with the crown in the finals?

Piece of cake. This is exactly what I do on social media.

You have to sell yourself all the time.

- Oh! - It's so cute!

Well, Abby, congratulations.

Yes! [all exclaiming]

First win ever!

I just knew it.

But tomorrow, you're gonna break your legs.

No. I'm very happy for you.

I hope you'll be just as strong tomorrow.

- Eh! - [laughing]

So, girls, let's get started.

- Yes. Yes. - Let's withdraw for a moment.

Yes, let's write down what needs to be done tomorrow.

Yes, sitting at home.

One sentence, why you should win.

I find it a difficult task.

You have to choose one thing.

What makes you so unique.

If you don't know what your drag stands for

and why you're here, then why are you actually here?

I'm an open book, but the one thing nobody knows about me

is what I'm going to reveal tomorrow.

A new day!

ELIMINATION DAY

Another week, another drama.

We are ready for it.

But it's also very exciting,

because it's the first runway show of the season.

Sweeties, how did you sleep last night?

[snaps] Top.

I slept horribly.

Maybe the tension or release of the first day.

Yes, it is elimination day, guys.

And today, someone has to go home.

- Do you all have that sentence? - Yes.

- Yes. - I still have to choose.

- Oh! - Only one sentence?

Well, you all know that it should be only one sentence.

It shouldn't be a whole dialogue.

Fred says keep it short and strong.

That doesn't make it easier.

Saying everything in one sentence

is much easier on Grindr.

[all laughing]

[laughs]

I am very nervous. I'm cautious of everything,

because the game is--

It starts right now.

Girls! What are we gonna do?

- Let's get ready... - Yeah. [all cheering]

♪ ♪

We can get started for that first runway.

All the ladies go through the room. "Let's go, let's go."

We all go for it. Except Abby, very cozy.

You're not really a performance queen, right?

You're not onstage much?

No, not really, but, you know, I grew up with theatre, so...

So, you know how it should be?

Yes, I know how to entertain people,

but it's not that I have a lot of experience in drag shows.

But, Abby, you live in Breda, right?

Yes. But I'm not from there.

- Where are you from, then? - Brasilia.

- Brasilia? - Yes.

I've lived in the Netherlands for 16 years

and with my boyfriend for nine years.

This also means that I've been

out of the closet for nine years.

My family reacted pretty badly.

Did they also stop talking to you?

From the ages of 16 to 19, I didn't speak to my mother.

- Really? - Yes.

Being a teenager not speaking to your mother was not easy.

The person you love the most

can also be the person that will hurt you the most.

- And now? - Now, we are fine,

but it took a while for my mother

and the rest of my family to accept me.

Wow.

It was them or me, and I chose myself.

Very often, you are confronted with that choice--

your family or you.

Yes. Yes. Are your father and mother still together?

Yes, they are still together.

- That is nice. - A classic religious family.

Ah! But, Roem, if you come from a traditional family,

what do they think of your drag?

Right.

It took them a while

before they were comfortable with that.

At first, my father was kind of insulting me.

Growing up homosexual

is not the best situation you can wish for.

You're "different" than the others in town.

Everyone is the same.

Then you'll fall out.

My mother was like,

"I don't want people to start talking about you."

But that's the image others see of you.

- Yes. - Right.

- Yes, yes. - Fallen.

Yes, exactly.

- Yeah, that's it. - We had it exactly the same.

Yes, that's right. I think I had for years to do

something that was totally not accepted.

Drag is a good example of this.

I am very happy with my look,

and I cannot wait to show it to you all.

My look is finished. Come on, let's start.

[laughs] Let's just start.

Oh, all those costumes.

With some ladies, I see some very fierce things.

But with some others, I think, if you can't do it,

just give it up.

I am ready for the runway.

I'm positive about my outfit. I spent a lot of time on it.

So, bring it on.

Last but not least,

a woman who has been an extreme fan of RuPaul's Drag Race

and known by the public for her role

as our former Queen Beatrix,

actress and comedienne Sanne Wallis de Vries.

And now, you obviously want me to imitate Beatrix.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

We're really not going to start with that, Mr. Leer.

Ah!

Oh! In this very first runway,

the queens were asked to create a look

based on their favorite queen...

a personal look that they have to present with royal allure,

and it is a drag "race."

So, gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best lady win. [engine revving]

Category is: "Who's Your Queen?"

[Fred] Sederginne: Marie Antoinette.

I get a Linda Wagenmakers vibe.

Oh, yeah, ten dancers will appear from under the dress.

- [all] Oh! - This is like the Efteling.

Marie Antoinette was a real rebel as queen.

And she was as much of a cooking addict as I am.

Once, she said to the French people,

"If there is no bread, let them eat cake."

[Fred] Let them eat cake, bitch. Yes!

Good calves as well. Look like mine.

Envy Peru. Máxima.

Whoosh!

We both came to the Netherlands as immigrants.

And we're both queens.

Look at that.

This look is inspired by the iconic blue dress

that Máxima wore when she became our queen.

Don't look in that mirror, I guess.

However, she has shoes to walk in the snow.

Yes.

[Fred] I will put a cross behind her name.

I love this.

This could have been for me.

What a glittery dress.

Her heart's in the right place.

My mother always told me

that I could give my own interpretation to religion.

But I've also asked you

What makes you so unique and distinctive,

Please give us your answers, and keep it short.

Through my passion for the community,

drive, and modern approach to drag,

I've opened up great courage for myself

but also for other queens.

It sucked.

My words didn't come out right.

Well, humor, fun, and a heart filled with love,

I hope with my drag

I can show the world that nothing can stop you

from celebrating your infinite inner strength.

And then I hear all these Miss Universe-like speeches

and "what I can offer the community"

and "what I've achieved."

Patty Pam-Pam.

I take the crown,

because alongside a fantastic sewing box,

I have a very deep trick box.

That's who I am; deal with it.

[bell dings]

Madame Madness.

What makes me so unique is that I play with gender identity,

and I show that anyone can be who he wants to be.

And, lastly... Miss Abby OMG.

Worldwide, I am the very first Brazilian drag queen

on RuPaul's Drag Race.

I want to make my country proud, but also the Netherlands.

Thank you, girls.

But, now...

If I mention your name, you have to take a step forward.

Envy Peru.

Miss Abby OMG.

Madame Madness.

Patty Pam-Pam.

Dear girls...

you've made it through.

But remember one thing:

you weren't the best in this episode.

Enjoy, and I'll see you later.

I am super happy that I'm safe,

but I didn't come here to be safe.

I want to be at the top or just win.

Ladies, in front of me are the three best

but also three worst queens this week.

I really don't know if I'm in the top or the bottom three.

I really don't have a clue.

High time for the verdict from the judges.

Let's start with Sederginne. Sanne.

You were a delight,

and I also really like to see people who do things very well

but also don't take themselves too seriously.

Thank you.

She had very good criticism for me.

She loved me, and I love her.

Marie Antoinette...

is something else in terms of skirt,

but what was underneath made everything all right.

For all those revelations,

you could put a whole wardrobe in there. [Sederginne laughs]

What did we think of Janey Jacké?

I find you really gorgeous, and that yellow hair

that I normally don't like, I just love.

I hate yellow, especially combined with black.

- But I love this. - Thanks. Thank you.

The next queen. Roem.

It's a pity that I realized quite late

that you were the queen from Snow White,

let me say,

and that was also because of your shoes,

that are rather overpowering.

I think they're pretty.

You are not a beauty queen.

You go for something completely different.

It's your way or the highway.

Can I have your opinion on Ma'MaQueen?

I think you look fantastic in general,

but I feel like you wanted to do a little too much.

Personally, your choice of fabric is not really my thing.

I think it's a bit cheap, but it works.

And the crown was really a pity.

This is kind of a-- and no offense--

Rotterdam fairground, with all these colors.

That my combination of fabrics is cheap

and my headdress is from the fair, I disagree.

It's bullshit.

I love this crown.

There's nothing wrong with a Rotterdam lighted crown.

- [laughter] - Watch out for--

You like concepts, the total picture,

and I think that's fantastic,

but the more you want, the more can go wrong.

- But the look is good. - I understand.

Thank you.

Megan, you just said in your speech

that you're deaf in one ear.

- Yes. - Do you hear everything now?

I try hard, and I can lip-read well,

but what people don't know about me

is that I'm 80% deaf in one ear,

and my other doesn't function well either.

I have a hearing aid, but I'm ashamed of it.

It's sometimes really hard for me

to be onstage,

because I can't hear the sound.

Oh, my God. I can't even imagine. Wow.

I wouldn't know how to react. No.

This is something very personal.

And I think she's overcoming something

by sharing this with us.

I would like to hug her now or hold her hand. Yes.

But I didn't do it.

Respect, honey. I know what it's like

to have something on your ear.

It's awful, and I know how much energy it takes.

Okay, thank you for your honesty, sweetheart.

I didn't know about this that you're telling us

so honestly and frankly now,

and you really don't notice that at all.

But, unfortunately, I have to give you some criticism.

We are talking about Diana Ross.

She is a gay icon. That is a little bit dangerous.

In this case, it really must be flawless.

One queen is left... ChelseaBoy.

I miss the royalty a bit.

To me, this is the furthest thing from what a queen is.

I do want to go along with your concept,

but that creates a bit of distance with me.

But I think what you've done is incredibly well-done.

Thank you.

I think this is just one story,

and if you can still walk like that

in such high-heeled platform shoes,

then you are really a queen to me.

Very nice.

I am very happy to hear that.

Extremely positive.

I think I'm safe.

Enough talking.

Go to the back, so we can gossip about you.

[laughs]

- Bye, girl! - Bye, girl!

Ooh, girls!

[all answering]

I didn't find the comments very harsh just now.

- No. - You know?

I think that's also important,

because someone is going home today,

and you shouldn't get depressed after this.

When I saw all of you, I thought of my own look, "Oh, okay.

Should have stepped it up.

I should have done something more."

- It's about to begin now. - Yeah. But how do you feel now?

Good.

Why? It wasn't so bad, sweetheart.

No, no, no. no. Everything they said.

I get it.

Now, I'm thinking that I should have thought

a little more about my outfit,

and then it could have looked even better.

Well, girls.

Let's go through all six of them. Sederginne.

If we are talking about Marie Antoinette,

then her dress should just look different.

[Sanne] One of the only ones

that I really found to be completely finished.

She gives a speech, and all those girls mumble,

and she is just, "Bam!"

You hang on every word she says.

Janey Jacké: Queen Bee.

What I find important and nice, Queen Bee is also Beyoncé.

That coat went off, and she was just Beyoncé.

- [Fred] I understand you. - I just wanted to say that.

I love that you say that, because that's what it is.

Roem.

[Nikkie] I actually had a two-fold feeling.

On the one hand, I wanted to run up on that stage

and give her a big hug.

But on the other hand, I was so proud inside.

You're standing there, rocking it.

But it was so fragile for me.

I can see where she wanted to go.

There's something unique in it. Something different.

And I feel that you are at the end of your talk.

- We're gonna continue. - [laughs]

Ma'MaQueen.

Or Maria.

I thought it was so great to see

that she could have executed this idea really well,

if it weren't that she literally stumbled upon

the multitude of her plans.

Megan Schoonbrood.

Those shoes. She threw up that dress.

I thought I might see some beautiful diamond heels,

but then those glittered clogs came out.

Have you ever been so disappointed in your life?

No, have you?

- No. - That's what I thought.

Lastly, we have ChelseaBoy.

I found this beautiful,

but what you're missing is what's behind that makeup.

It was a little too much makeup for me.

I'm very curious to see what she actually looks like.

Is she pretty? Isn't she?

Pretty is in the eye of the beholder.

And if anyone can walk in heels,

- it was ChelseaBoy. - Those heels...

Yes, you think that...

- And... - Yes, a pair of good...

Silence! [echoing]

I have made a decision.

Bring back my girls!

We have just talked in detail,

and I have come to the following conclusion.

Sederginne.

You've made it. Congratulations.

Thank you.

I'm safe.

Oh, so, so good, yes. Yes, yes, yes.

ChelseaBoy.

You've also made it. Congratulations.

Woo hoo!

I realized that I would be in the last three.

You're always thinking...

this is the moment you make it or you don't.

Janey Jacké.

The odds are against three of the girls.

This can be the moment.

Is this the moment or not?

I don't know. God. What's happening?

You are the winner this week.

And then I won! Yeah! Aah!

For your fantastic creation and performance,

in combination with your very successful photo shoot...

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Thanks. Thank you.

Your prize is a package valued 1.000 euros

from Make-Up Studio.

Yeah!

- Congratulations. - Awesome. Thank you.

Go stand by the other girls.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Good luck, girls. Good luck.

And now, I am in the bottom three.

I suddenly realized, it's the first episode,

and I'm at the bottom.

My heart starts to pound,

and I hope I won't be sent home.

The only thing I was thinking

was, these are the three.

One of us is about to leave.

Roem.

I'm sorry, you run the risk of going home today.

I hold my baby like my life depends on it.

Ma'MaQueen, you've made it through.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

You can join the other girls.

I walk back, and I feel like crying.

This was the most stressful moment of my life.

Roem and Megan,

it makes me very sad, but for one of you,

it is the first but also the last episode

of Drag Race Holland.

I'm not going home, seriously.

You have prepared a lip-sync performance

for the classic "Express Yourself,"

by Madonna.

I've always been a Madonna fan.

I was totally focused on the lip sync.

On the judges. Let's go.

This is your last chance to convince me

that you should not be sent home.

This is the time...

to lip sync for your life!

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

[all] Woo! [applause]

I was, like, waiting.

"Please don't call my name. Let it be Megan.

Very sad for that girl, but go home.

I want to stay here. I really want to stay here."

And then...

Megan...

my dear...

it's not your time yet.

Chantay, you stay.

I am fucking, fucking happy I can stay.

And those queens have to watch out,

and I will be first.

Never again.

- Roem. - Yes.

It was short, sometimes powerful.

But I enjoyed you.

It's not because of your talents, but rather your age.

You're still so young.

And I'm sure if you watched the girls,

you'd have the most fierce looks.

Then tell the bitches.

I understand, honey.

We are very proud of you.

For now...

Sashay away.

Bye-bye.

- Bye, girl. - Bye, girl.

Queens, I'll see you online.

Fred, I slashed your tires. Toodle-oo!

[gasps]

[laughter] Bye, girl!

Yes, it's really a shame, because

you're the first to drop out.

On the one hand, I feel very disappointed,

but I look back with great pleasure on this Drag Race.

It was very nice.

There will be a lot of drama, knowing these girls.

These bitches brought it.

I'm certainly not bitter,

but I won't say that I won't cut a couple of wigs later.

Ladies! Congratulations!

You're all through to the next episode! [all cheering]

But there's one more person who wants to speak to you.

[siren sounding] "Condragulations," Queens.

And, remember, if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?

Can I get an "amen" up in here?

- [all] Amen! - Alright!

Now, let the music play.

[Ru Paul laughs]

♪ Can you feel the love? ♪

Woo!

♪ A little bit of love ♪

♪ Goes a long, long way ♪

♪ Lifting you up to a brighter day ♪

♪ Can you feel the love? ♪

They're nicely packaged, aren't they?

NEXT TIME

Do you like it at home?

I hope that no one ever has to feel this way.

This is beyond drag, this is art.

I think my concept is pretty strong.

It's rather shortsighted for this competition.

- Yes, I think so too. - Please stop.

She is a real bully.

This is the moment to stop, okay?
