-Welcome to the shadiest show on Earth.

Today we are doing Circus Bezerkus.

Y'all got to be louder than that.

Thank you. Thank you.

-So beautiful.

-We're at the top right now.

So you know we have to just bring it harder.

-Give it up for all my judges.

Megan Thee Stallion.

The charismatic Law Roach.

Law, Law Roach.

Step right up and see

the voguing wonder of the world,

Leiomy Maldonado.

Please welcome the exotic, hypnotic Jameela Jamil.

Jameela for Circus Bezerkus.

Our special guest judge is a ballroom icon,

a hall of famer,

Miss Dominique Jackson.

-Dominique, thank you so much for being here.

Welcome to Legendary.

Tonight, seven houses will be performing without a safety net

as they face the mercy of our judges,

especially Law.

Our top house will win the title of Superior House

and take home the Legendary trophy.

And at the final ball,

the last house standing will earn Legendary status

and just a casual $100,000.

Our beautiful guest Dominique,

you are certainly not new to the ballroom.

What are you excited to see tonight?

-Tonight, I'm looking for glamour,

I'm looking for style,

I'm looking for choreography,

I'm looking for an ode to what I survived.

-Tonight, unlike the last ball,

it is all about house productions, okay,

circus style.

We wanna see everything that is strange, deranged,

and everything arranged à la ballroom.

The houses must amaze our judges,

and the bottom two houses that don't thrill

will battle for redemption

and determine who stays and who goes home.

They earned the Superior House at the last ball,

ladies and gentlemen, this is the House of Lanvin.

-At the last ball, the House of Exclusive Lanvin

unanimously...

...won the trophy.

-The House of Lanvin.

-The Superior House, the House of Lanvin.

-We slayed every category, no chops.

Can't say that about the other houses, though.

-And guess what, we bringing it at the next ball.

-Yes. -We're gonna bring it.

-So give me a little taste of what this could look like.

-Our concept for the next ball is deranged and strange circus.

We're going to do, like, this laboratory.

I'll be the strange professor...

-Ooh, and then, like, tch, tch, no.

-...that's actually experimenting on these kids,

and I'm turning them into all these monsters.

Makaylah is going to be, like, my minion, my little helper.

-Like, maybe dark... -Dark color.

-...and evil coloring, okay.

-Zay, he'll be, like, the tallest man in the world.

- Hell, yeah. - Then I have Carlos and Pack,

the Siamese twins.

-They'll be able to separate.

-Yeah, they'll get ripped apart. -With, like, blood.

-You're, like, pretty freaky. -Yeah.

-The pressure is most definitely on

to be the Superior House again.

-Welcome to the Legendary Lanvin Laboratory.

-Give it up for the House of Lanvin.

-Okay, first things first,

that is how you become a Superior House.

Zay Zay, how you have an eye hanging out of your face

and you still look beautiful, I don't know.

-I loved it. You guys came out high energy.

I loved the storyline. Beautiful.

-I don't know who did y'all's makeup,

but y'all look like y'all rich.

Like, I just -- I loved it.

Like, the whole thing was bomb.

I had fun the whole time, so I loved it.

-So I think the look is incredible.

You guys look absolutely flawless, cohesive.

The story was being told through the fashions.

I love that.

For me, I think there were a few things

that were a little messy.

About you, Eyricka, being in the middle, you --

I kind of saw you thinking about the steps.

But what saved you is that face, baby.

That mug is undeniable.

It's okay to clap for that face, baby.

That mug is undeniable. Give it up.

-Well, Miss Dominique, our guest judge,

tell us how you feel, baby.

-Eyricka, you're the queen,

and you have to command that attention.

Tonight, you really did not command that attention,

but we knew that you worked hard.

-Dashaun, please, bring us the next house.

-So come one, come all, and see these delicate dainties

transformed right before you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the House of Ninja.

-It's freak show,

so what are you guys thinking creatively?

We have to really think outside of the box.

-Yes. -So we would like to go

with this Cirque du Soleil inspiration.

-Okay. -And I'm a freak,

I'm not going to spell it. -Yeah, you are.

-I will be a freak, a weirdo, and ugly,

and super jealous of beauty, women's beauty.

So every woman that I find around the world,

because they're international, I turn them to freaks,

and they become part of my freak show.

-Bye, Ninjas. -Bye.

-This spot. -Yeah. Let's talk about it.

-What card are we gonna play here?

-So our circus kind of inspired

from the tradition from Asian culture.

-Alright, so give me a little taste of what

you're playing around with.

-Get something, get ready.

-Make it a 360.

-Click, click.

-And turning as you're doing everything

that you're doing, right?

-Okay. -So then let's see, like --

-Want to do the runway. -Runway, okay.

-I feel confident about this ball,

and I love the theme,

and I really love that we keep embracing our ethnicity.

Got it. That's it.

-We're ready for the stage.

-We always go in to win it,

and we want to have that trophy back.

-Keep your composure,

because it's going to get even harder and harder.

-And we're going to get the trophy back.

-Y'all give it up for the House of Ninja.

So, Law, did the Ninjas bring it to be the Superior House

for the night again?

Can they do it?

-No.

The first night, you guys gave us

the Asian story with the wardrobe,

and you repeated that this time.

And, so, it's getting a little old.

Like, I want to see something new.

I want to see something a little fresher.

-This has not been my favorite performance of yours.

I wanted more circus from you.

Like, this is Circus Bezerkus,

and I feel like there wasn't much of that in this theme.

And also you were out of sync, which you guys never are.

-I know what you girls can bring to the floor

and tonight you guys really did not bring it.

Maybe next function.

-I think y'all look freaking gorgeous, like,

I don't know what the story was though.

-I'm sorry. You lost me.

-Ladies and gentlemen,

give it up for the House of Ninja.

-They looked pretty.

- Did they?

-The theme is Asian circus.

-It is a -- -It is.

-We brought it from an Asian circus,

so they probably -- they probably don't know.

-Ready to face all contenders

and prove that they're the heavyweights of ballroom,

this is the House of E-B-O-N-Y.

-That's right! E-B-O-N-Y.

That's right,

-Ball 2 was pretty good.

-I actually thought that we probably had a great chance

of being the Superior House.

And because of different emotions

that were going on at the time...

-Alright, stop, we're getting back to work.

-...it definitely read on the stage,

and it ended up getting us chopped.

-They've got to be perfect. This is $100,000.

-The communication and the way we handled our nerves

could be a little better.

-Five, six, seven.

-For Ball 3, we're going with a rumble theme

and it's definitely always happening

amongst the House of Ebony.

-Don't touch me. -I'm the leader.

Why you walking up on me? -I can walk --

You do all of this.

-The conversations are a waste of time.

They go in one ear and out the other.

And it's going to be a continuous thing.

And I'm just, at this point, over it.

-This is really going to affect us with this competition.

- I just hurt my foot.

At first, I thought it was just something minor.

But then when I went to the hospital,

they just said it was sprained pretty bad.

- My gosh.

Can you even, like, walk your marks?

-I've been going through a lot of personal issues.

Technically, I don't have a home to go back to in Chicago.

I don't have a family bond like I used to

back when I was younger.

So I need the support from them --

the unity, the love, all of the things that I needed

to become the young man that I'm trying to become.

You guys mean a lot of to me.

-It's okay. Come give me love.

-You guys just got to keep performing.

-We started off not in a good place,

but we have to do this for Shorty.

-There's $100,000 at stake.

I will not let my team down.

My foot is not going to stop me

from competing against this competition.

-They're good, they're good, they're good.

-Y'all give it up for the House of Ebony.

-Hey, Ebony.

-Hello.

-So I think -- I think you guys came out

super strong, super energetic.

You look adorable, baby.

I kind of want to put you in my --

give me a little --

You look so--

But I think as the performance went on,

it got a little boring.

I was just waiting for something else dynamic

to happen to bring me back,

and I don't think that ever happened.

-I don't agree.

-You don't have to.

-We know you got hurt in rehearsal,

so for you to still come out here

and still be backflipping

and going as hard as you were going,

that is, like, just wonderful, like.

So, like, you always have good energy.

I thought it was bomb.

-Alright, Leiomy.

-I loved the effects and I loved the storyline.

Machante, if you're going to introduce a 360

which is my signature dip, to the world,

you need to land it.

-Okay.

-That's all.

-Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Ebonies.

Thank you so much, Ebonies. You rock.

-I know how Leiomy really is, and a lot of people do 360s

so I don't necessary think that it's specifically hers

and I can't wait to see the video

because I definitely landed that 360.

-Damn, that lighting is dramatic.

-Ooh, I like that.

-I know, but it's his cheekbones.

=Yes.

-Ladies and gentlemen,

this is the House of Balmain.

-To almost go home at the second ball was surreal.

-It's time to vogue down.

-This competition means everything to me,

and not only to me, to the kids.

-The house I am saving is the House of Balmain.

-It's super important that we got this second chance,

and we're going to make sure

that we are definitely not in the bottom.

Here, duh, duh, duh.

My inspiration for the next ball is the movie "It."

And four -- you're not moving your feet.

-Do hands and then do feet.

-It needs to get there. One and two.

I put pressure on the kids because I love them to death.

I want them to succeed,

and not only in ballroom, outside of ballroom.

The more I push, the more they see,

they see how good they are.

As a father figure,

I feel like I have to make sure that they're taken care of.

When I first came out, I was pretty unsure

if my family would accept me.

How are you?

But my aunts, my uncles, my cousins,

my entire family supported me.

-When I grew up, I want to be just like you.

-Like me? -Like you.

-And that type of support is what I want to give to my kids.

Woo, woo, step and then from here.

We're definitely going two steps above and beyond.

It's kind of creepy.

We are coming for the Superior House.

That trophy belongs to us for the rest of this competition.

This is a circus.

-Y'all give it up for Balmain.

So I'm not afraid of clowns, but I'm scared of scary movies,

so this is freaking me out.

But, Dominique, what you got going on?

-It's not about just being ballroom.

It's about entertaining the masses.

What you have done is absolutely amazing.

And even though you may have

kind of scared the shit out of me...

You... -Very much that. Very much that.

...were all phenomenal.

-Y'all know there ain't no rules,

unless there's some Law.

-This week you brought just as much or more passion

to the floor,

and I appreciated it.

The clothes were everything.

The production was amazing.

Calypso, honey, we share something in common.

We both got them deep throats, baby.

-I am scared.

Like, y'all scared the shit out of me.

But I like to be scared, so that was really amazing.

Like, everybody was in character the whole time.

Even though you are on these stilts,

it was like you were the one telling the story.

Y'all did motherfucking amazing.

The confidence was there.

I can't wait to see more of y'all.

-We are on a higher level than the competition, as you can see.

A higher level.

- Good job, guys. - Good job. My God.

-This is the House of St. Laurent.

-Yes, let's go, guys.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Going into the third ball, we should be very excited.

-It's going to be amazing. -Yeah.

-This is about to be a circus.

What are we doing?

-This circus takes a dark turn.

-Kok, you're playing the ringleader, right?

Let's walk it through.

Our concept is the soulless circus.

Mikoko is this ringmaster character

that snatches souls to add it to the circus.

- Kok can easily bring you all up.

Just like that. Boom.

-Right, right, right, right. -Capture.

-Crazy.

-What we got going on creatively?

-So we're thinking really, really demented clowns.

-Cool. -With body modifications.

-As a group you guys need to really sell it

'cause that somehow is not conveying.

And I know that you guys have it.

-Right.

-Fashion is one thing you don't have to worry about.

We will always bring fashion.

Super, super duper freaky in straitjackets.

- Sick. - But fashionable, my man.

-So, like, white straitjackets straight up,

but, like, we'll couturize them.

-Yeah, I'm thinking maybe, like, burn...

-We want gay jackets. -...burn them a little bit,

like, just distress it. -Distress it.

-Buckles. -Where it's coming out.

Yeah, buckles with, like, studs maybe.

-It's going to get crazy.

It's going to get very dark.

-I think this is going to shock them.

-So if you go to church... -Welcome to Gell.

- God. - Yes.

-...you're probably not going to like this.

-Outfits were definitely the best part of your --

you guys' presentation.

The performance, I really, really did not like.

I mean, I'm the professional.

I would know what performance is supposed to look like.

But I love the fact that you guys showcased vogue

because it's the first time that you guys showcased it.

It, just for me, it wasn't strong.

-Dominique.

-For me, it was regular.

For the regular people -- y'all...

...it is fucking phenomenal.

But for me, I know your capability.

There's so much more in you.

So impress me,

And right now, I'm not impressed.

-Well, I think the outfits

and the way you guys came out already into character,

it scared the shit out of me.

Bitch, I started singing gospel.

-Save me. -I need a Jesus.

I was, I was so scared.

I'm a fan of this house, but I didn't get it either.

The choreography was a little weak to me.

I just didn't see it this week.

And it really hurts me to say that

because I want to root for y'all.

But you ain't getting my vote this week, baby.

No chance.

-Well, ladies and gentlemen, it comes tough,

but give the House of St. Laurent

a round of applause.

-At the end of the day,

those judges can think what they want to think.

My fucking house, we studied, we studied our ass off,

we came together, there's unity,

and that's what matters at the end of the day.

-Right, right.

-And I'm cool with all that other shit.

-You guys are brutal. Jesus.

Bring out the next lambs.

-Exploding onto the scene, dare to glare,

this is the House of Escada.

-This next ball,

we are taking our performance to the next level.

We may have not done the best these past two weeks,

but we're here and every single time we're here, we're building.

People are underestimating us.

-It's the chop.

-It's a lovely competition.

-A lot of them feel like

we are already out of the competition,

that we're not going to be here that long.

-It looked so dumb.

-You know what? People love a comeback story.

-Right. -People love to see evolution.

-They're definitely sleeping on the House of Escada.

-But they are going to wake up to a beautiful nightmare.

-Circus freak show. -Yeah.

-Here we go.

-What's the inspiration behind the story?

Tell me that first.

-In our theme, it's kind of like

a bomb just went off, so radiation fucked us all up.

-And we're all going to come

as a different character from the freak show.

-Okay. -Maybe this explosion gave us,

like, all, like, crystal. -I love that.

And so your face could even be diamond distortion.

-You know we love diamond distortion.

-Yeah.

-For the next ball, the House of Escada

is going to be bringing you authentic ballroom.

-Duckwalk, duckwalk, yes. -That was nice.

-There's five elements of vogue. -Whoa.

-Those are hands, catwalk, duckwalk,

spins and dips, and floor performance.

- Yes, yes, yeah.-

-At a circus, you have different acts

so we're treating each element as a different act

and then we're tying it all in at the end.

-Two, three, four, five, six, seven.

-No-one has done that yet.

-We need to bring that energy on show day.

We're going to make everybody eat their words.

-I can taste the trophy in my hands.

-I can taste the money. -I can smell it.

-I see.

I see the beginning and the future.

-Y'all give the Escadas a round of applause.

Clap for the House of Escada.

-Here we go. I want to hear that beat.

Can we hear that beat?

Can we hear that beat?

Can we hear that beat, yeah?

Can we hear that beat?

Let me hear you work, bitch.

Let me hear you serve, bitch.

Let me hear you work that.

Let me hear you work, bitch.

Let me hear you serve, bitch.

See you, baby. See you, baby.

Well, listen, we already got Dominique's feedback.

Law, give me something, baby.

-Baby, I got one word.

Pussy.

Yes.

-That -- that is what I pat my money to see.

-London, you should be so proud of your kids tonight.

My God.

-Love you, Mom.

-It was so theatrical.

It was so elegant.

I was engaged from the very second that you started.

Also, Shyanne, with three tits falling off your body

and all that makeup, you are still

not just the most beautiful woman in the competition,

the most beautiful woman in the world.

-Thank you, Escada, thank you.

-That was everything, the five elements of vogue.

-We sold it right.

-This is the part we came to do.

That sweat's on us.

But guess what? We gave y'all a beautiful nightmare.

-Alright, so listen,

after a long few days of turmoil,

this house wants to purge out their tension

with this performance

and get back on track.

So come one, come all

to see the Gorgeous House of Gucci.

-The House of Gorgeous Gucci started out in this competition

as a team of five.

But moving forward, we will be going on as a team of four.

-Come on, Miracle, I need you try and make that first one.

-Huh? I'm not doing that.

-It definitely has been a struggle

to get the House of Gorgeous Gucci on one page.

-It's about energy. You could do it if your energy's higher.

-Triforce. Triforce.

-If your energy's up there, you could do this.

I do feel like I'm more advanced

than some of the other voguers in my House.

I do feel like we come to this point

where we can be neck and neck,

but I will still beat them.

You're not even doing it right. Your hands look sloppy as hell.

-My hands look fish, like a woman.

-Delicious is not making an effort.

-Focus on your part, Miracle, down there.

-Come on, y'all, destroy it, come on.

No, Miracle, where you going, Miracle, where you going?

-Where you going?

Miracle's giving a lot of demands about stuff

but then when it's, like, okay, what do you have

to bring to the table, there's nothing.

-Get over there, let's go.

-We are in complete disarray.

You two, right, let's address that real quick.

Delicious and Miracle, they just like to bicker,

and it gets really heated.

-It's not me. -Yeah.

-Because we -- -She don't like --

She's combative. She do not like...

-No. Me being-- No, me being where I'm from...

-...me saying anything. -...I never, like,

disrespected nobody or being like this.

We obviously utilize the time right.

I'm not playing with you. I'm not playing with you.

You need to utilize the time right

'cause that's why we -- everybody shut down.

And you laughing on your face like it's funny.

-I do dances. I'm a dancer.

-Don't matter if you do dances, we are doing it.

Me and Miracle, we like to take jabs at each other

But at the last rehearsal, maybe this time

it went a little too far.

But if we're in the bottom two, I'm not battling nobody.

-I don't even do this. Why are you making it a problem

with me, Deedee? I'm ready to do this.

I'm ready for the challenges. I'm ready for the battle.

I'm ready for the performances. I'm ready for the --

-I just want to see it. I want to see it.

-Deedee, please.

So I reads Delicious because Delicious reads me,

and that's exactly how it's going to be.

It's probably not gonna change.

D, I am legendary.

-Local legendary.

Local legend, and I'm a legend slayer, Miss Momma.

You gotta know it and ask about me.

-That may be a sorry statement then.

Fat bitch.

I think the rest of the House of Gucci

is on the same page, but they're not on my page.

I'm about to twerk her.

I'm done.

-It kind of just went farther than what it was supposed to.

And Miracle's no longer with us.

-Look, our spacing is off. -Out, out.

-Miracle not being here

definitely threw a wrench in our production.

We had to rework it all.

-Y'all to the right in here.

-It's sad Miracle is not with us

because he's a part of our house.

But right now at this point, it's tense.

-Our production was worked for five people.

This is actually -- no, pull them over here.

-Try to get it real quick, come on.

The show must go on.

But honestly, I am worried.

-Kick.

Please make sure that we're using our spacing right,

because if you kick me, we're going to have a problem.

-Give it up for the House of Gorgeous Gucci.

Leiomy, what you got for them?

-I know you guys lost a member,

and I know how important it is, you know,

to be a house and to be a family.

And you guys showed the strength here.

We wouldn't have known that you guys lost a member,

so I commend you for that.

-You guys are such a stunning house.

You know what I mean? Like, the physicality and...

-They're not that stunning.

-...and the faces are --

-Hey, they are stunning.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa. -Woo-hoo-hoo.

-No, I am that stunning.

-As an icon in this community,

if you are going to say something,

you don't have the power to do that.

I am.

-There she go, There she goes again.

-I am ballroom.

-She is an icon without a doubt.

What she's done for the community,

without a doubt.

But in this house, she's a guest.

-Let's not make this a back-and-forth.

Y'all ain't here to judge each other.

You're judging them. Let's continue.

I need you to sit down for me, please.

As a judge, please, have a seat for me.

-I'm not used to this.

I didn't know what was going to happen.

-Audience, y'all have no choice

but to please give the House of Gorgeous Gucci

a round of applause.

-Yo, Dominique Jackson -- don't break her back.

She's a guest. Don't break her back anymore.

She's a fool.

-Thank you, Dashaun.

Now it is time to see who can claim

the Superior House title of the night

and go on to become the keepers of the Legendary trophy.

-Who do y'all think the Superior House is?

Which house?

What house? What house? What house?

-Okay, okay.

Are these judgments made?

-The Superior House is...

...Escada.

-Work, Escada.

-Escada!

-Get your trophy, yeah!

-First of all, London, well done.

You are the first person who's ever been able

to actually pick that trophy up.

-I know.

-Congratulations.

You have made sure that House of Escada

are the Superior House.

-People slept on us for a while.

-Now y'all know we are here to stay.

We're not playing no game.

-Alright, so that means for the rest of you,

you are all in danger of being chopped.

And, baby, it's been a long chopping night.

So each judge will now announce the houses that are safe

and will remain standing.

-House of Lanvin,

your house is still standing.

-Thank you, Eyricka.

Hot girl Meg.

-The House of Ebony,

y'all are safe.

-Leiomy.

-This one is going to hit hard.

Yeah, that's going to hit hard.

-It's a double letter.

GG for Gorgeous Gucci.

-And the final house that is still standing

for sure...

is Balmain.

-Congratulations to the houses.

They get to pump at another function

and that means the House of St. Laurent

and the House of Ninja,

unfortunately, one of your houses

are about to sent on home.

-It's scary, it's scary.

-Now it's time for you to choose one of your voguers

to defend the legacy of your house

in the Redemption Battle.

-Miss Shalae, who are you sending

to defend the house name?

-Pretty.

-Pretty, please come on stage.

-Let's go, fucking Pretty!

-You've got this, Pretty.

-Mother Dolores, who will you send out

to defend your honor?

-Chise.

-Chise, please come on out here right now.

Judges, are you ready?

DJ, pump the beat.

Hold that pose for me.

Hold that pose. Hold that pose, darling.

-I mean, oh, that is insane.

-Alright, judges, this is that part now.

Who won the battle and saved their house

from an early exit?

-Now, listen, they had to battle down

for their lives, baby.

-They battled down for their lives, but...

I feel like Chise

ate St. Laurent for dinner today, baby.

Ninja.

-We have one Ninja.

Jameela.

-I really liked your performance tonight.

And whatever you might think, I do really appreciate

the content you've put into this competition.

But Ninja have come again and again and again and slayed,

And, Chise, you were exceptional tonight.

You were unfazed.

So I'm going with Ninja.

I'm sorry.

-Two Ninja. -It has to be nonstop.

-All of them are going Ninja.

-Please, no. -And that's two votes for Chise.

-Dominique.

-St. Laurent's going home.

-I'll say, if she votes for Ninja, it's over.

Well, that's three votes and a majority.

Ninja wins.

-Congratulations, Chise,

you have saved your House of Ninja.

Well done.

-Bye, Ninja.

Miss Shalae, do you have any parting words for everyone?

-Ha, I think we did a fucking fantastic job.

I love you. It's no shade.

Thank you, "Legendary," for a great time.

-I want to save my sisters' life so I'm like, "I need to battle."

Let's go, Chise, and it just happen.

-We love you. -We owe you so much.

-Such an interesting night tonight.

-I'll be sure, y'all. -Thank you.

-We came out.

We did everything we were supposed to do.

One week, we were told we were doing too much.

-This is the last that you'll see of the house.

Have a great competition.

-The House of Escada, they've been in the bottom.

They still should be in the bottom.

The House of Lanvin, they was robbed.

It's no shade. We coming for that ass next week.

-Things will heat up at the next function

as each house gets closer to getting $100,000 prize.

And remember, we're not gonna be shady,

just fierce.

Goodnight.
