Original subtitles

PREVIOUSLY In the end, it'll be just one,

but it takes two to have a little fun.

You're going on a blind date!

[all] Oh!

- Whoa. Easy! - [Abby coughs]

I thought I'd lost my clutch.

- I might call it a night. - No, you're staying.

And what is this?

- You like it? - Wow.

- [Fred] Ma'Ma Queen! - [applause]

I won the mini-challenge.

In this episode, our queens were asked to walk the runway

together with their mother, father, brother or friend.

Envy Peru, it pains me to say

that, once again, you're this week's winner.

[dramatic music]

My dear ChelseaBoy... Sashay away.

ChelseaBoy out.

Woo!

AFTER CHELSEABOY'S DEPARTURE Okay, ladies.

Girlfriends, did I crush that lip-synch, or what?

My first time at the bottom.

I was so nervous, I felt my veins throbbing.

- I told you. - I was so...

[Janey] Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to ChelseaBoy.

It just really sucks when that happens.

There's just one rule in Drag Race.

Only take your wig off when you have one underneath.

She didn't have one, and I saw duct tape, and...

[Janey] She didn't quit.

And I thought that was great.

"My darlings, keep on rising to new cosmic dimensions.

I'm rooting for you all.

We Chel-sea-Boy."

[all] We shall see, boy. [Envy laughs]

That's nice and sassy. We're going to miss that.

Chelsea, we love you.

The semifinal!

[all] Woo!

It's a new day in the workroom. [blows raspberry]

One of us is going home before we get to the finale.

Well, that ruined the mood.

- Yes. [all laughing] - Sorry!

I keep saying that I'd love to be in the finale

with Ma'Ma Queen and Envy Peru.

That means we have to say goodbye to Abby OMG.

I do think...

that I'd like to beat Janey in the finale.

You fuck with me once,

and I'mma get you.

[siren]

[all cheering]

[RuPaul] Hello, ladies.

- Hi. - The time has come

to see your true colors fly.

And remember...

you're a queen, so act like it.

- Act? - Acting.

Goddamn it, another acting challenge.

- Again. [laughs] - [Abby] Don't look at me.

- Hey, hey, hey! - [all] Hey!

- [Fred] Good morning, girls. - Good morning, darling.

Welcome to the semifinal, bitches.

- Exciting, isn't it? - Very.

One of you will be the first Dutch Drag Race Superstar

and will win a personal cover shoot for Cosmopolitan

and, of course, that lovely dress

by Claes Iversen, valued at 18.000 euros!

Look at your faces.

[all laugh]

But, first, there's a mini-challenge.

It's a bit old-fashioned. Think back to your childhood.

But I expect a real bitchfest.

Because everybody loves...

- [all] Puppets! - [Fred] Yes!

Oh, pit... There's no pit crew.

Just a moment. I'll do it myself.

You'd fit right in with the pit crew.

- That's so nice, sweetie. - Smokin'!

Janey Jacké is the winner of this episode.

[laughing]

There are four hand puppets on the table.

You'll choose one.

But we can't have you see which one you pick.

Three, two, one.

- [all gasp] - Oh!

The puppet challenge is iconic on Drag Race.

You have to transform a puppet into the queen you have chosen

in a very funny way.

Okay, you get to choose a puppet.

This one has a tight ass.

Everyone has a puppet. Take off the blindfolds.

Check out who you picked.

- Ah! - [Envy laughs]

[Janey] Envy Peru!

- [Fred] Envy, who did you pick? - Ma'Ma Queen.

- [Fred] And you, Janey? - Envy Peru!

- [Fred] Ma'Ma Queen? - Abby OMG.

- [Fred] OMG, and you have... - Janey Jacké.

You have 20 minutes

to change your puppet into a real drag puppet.

One that looks like your fellow competitor.

One, two, three...

Go, girls, go!

Envy, I get to undress you.

- [Envy] Ooh. - [Janey] Is this right?

- Mustard yellow is lovely. - [Envy laughing]

You gave me a mouthful of yellow teeth.

- [laughs] - Bitch.

Okay, ladies. You'll take turns in the puppet theater.

Let the bitchfest begin!

- Miss Envy Peru! - [all] Ooh!

[Janey] How's it going, Envy?

[moaning]

[Fred laughing]

[Janey] How did you get your name?

Well, I like to celebrate my roots.

I'm from Peru.

Ah, your real roots!

[all laugh]

When I look at the girls and at Fred, they're laughing.

It's funny.

Very funny, Janey.

Cut all the bitches!

[slashing sound]

Abby OM Tuck!

[laughing]

The tuck, the waist, the outfit,

the scissors.

I thought I looked great.

Here I am.

Dick, dick, dick, Mykonos.

Oh, wait.

Where's the quarrel we had?

Where's the "coming for your sister" gig?

[Abby] I've been on Mykonos for so long,

but...

now I'm back, and I'm here to win.

Beeeep.

End of story.

Ma'Ma Queen, how's it going?

Well, I'm expecting.

Darling, you're expecting?

You're expecting what?

Expecting to be a fuck-up every week,

because the judges don't get it.

[Fred laughing heartily]

I'm a conceptual queen.

First, I come up with a look

that no one gets

and that I have to keep explaining...

I couldn't contain myself.

One joke after another, and all were on point.

- Bye! - [all laughing]

Let's hear it for Envy and Ma'Ma Queen!

We saw the puppets. The show is over.

Normally, I decide the winner,

but this is the semifinal.

Why don't you tell me who the winner is?

[dramatic music]

Wait. What?

Okay.

This could get interesting.

I've already won four challenges.

There's no way those girls will choose me.

Abby?

I thought Ma'Ma was great.

It was sweet that Abby said I was the best,

because it wasn't true.

I wasn't going to say that I thought I was really funny.

- Uh, Envy. - Envy?

Me too. Envy.

[Fred] Envy.

- I'm voting for myself. - [all laughing]

And then Envy chooses herself. Oh!

Okay, queen.

So, the winner of the mini-challenge is Envy Peru!

You can put the puppets down, girls.

This was the mini-challenge.

And I'm sure you know that the maxi-challenge is next.

Uh-oh.

We're staying with the theatrical theme.

Tomorrow, all four of you will play a leading role in...

Máxima:

- The Rusical! - [all yelling]

[Fred] Yes!

A "Rusical" is a musical that is lip-synched

by drag queens.

That's the behind-the-scenes story of our Queen Máxima.

Oh!

Dear girls, your scripts are ready. I'll say...

Have fun. Good luck.

Don't fuck it up. And, dear Envy...

since you won the challenge, you get to pick the roles.

We're so close to the finale,

and it would be really stupid if I didn't play the fiancée.

So, Envy.

You get to pick the roles!

[Ma'Ma] Very exciting.

[Envy] There are four roles.

This is Máxima One.

The student.

"Máxima has just turned 25.

She's holding a bottle of booze in her hand."

- [Envy] Okay. - Starts off with a bang.

[Envy] Wow, girl.

[Ma'Ma] I hope I don't get that role,

because I always play that role in the Drag Race challenges.

It makes tactical sense to give the role of

Máxima One, the party girl, to Ma'Ma Queen.

Máxima Two...

No money. [laughs]

The temptress.

The temptress.

"You are the key to my crown. I don't care how you look."

[laughs]

- This sounds like Janey. - [Envy] Really?

But we also want to create something nice together.

I want to go first. I'm ready to go.

That spotlight needs to be on me.

[Envy] Máxima Three. The fiancée.

"He is a bit dumb." He is a bit dumb.

- I love to hear that. - [all laugh]

- It's great. - [Ma'Ma] I'm tearing up.

Máxima Four...

- The queen. - The queen.

- Oh. - [Janey] The queen.

- The queen. - Oh, she wants that role.

[Janey] I think so. [harp music]

Máxima Four, of course, is when she's queen regnant.

That means that this Máxima wears a crown

and is dressed in royal blue.

Hmm. I already had that look in Episode One.

That's why I thought I'd give Four to Ma'Ma Queen,

and I'll do Máxima Three.

Máxima One, Máxima Two, Máxima Three,

Máxima Four.

Máxima Five.

- Hello. - Hi.

Hi.

[Envy] The four of us are walking the runway,

and there's Gerald and Frank, our choreographers for today.

- Have you all read the script? - Yes.

Okay. We're going to follow Máxima through the Rusical.

And I want to start with you, Abby.

This is for your big trip.

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

Da, da, one, and two, and three.

And leg. And Frank, you want to show how it's done?

Yes, professor.

Frank is gorgeous.

Jesus, what a man.

[Envy] Okay.

Oh.

Everyone loved Frank and thought he was sexy.

What can you say? He's gorgeous.

...behind, front, and tap, and... tap.

It's quite a workout, but I think...

- Girlfriend. - ...it's very nice.

Those are the first 5 seconds.

The whole thing lasts a minute.

If all of our moves are going to be that hard...

Hmm...

I'm not that good at this.

- "The Temptress" is a tango. - Yes.

Have you ever danced tango?

- No. - Ballroom dance?

Oh, fuck. I never had a dance lesson in my life.

Ooh!

Woo hoo! [clapping]

Yes! Scared!

I'm getting flustered when he's doing it right, and you?

We're not seeing Anny Schilder, that's for sure.

...five.

One, two, down!

This is not the first time Janey gets on her knees

for a good-looking man.

The count, right?

I'm like, one, two...

Yeah, it's a lot.

You have a lot of time with Willem-Alexander.

You are the conscience of Máxima Two.

So, you are a thought.

"The people of this land..."

Then, on the other side, "How do I make them understand?"

[Janey] Envy Peru is doing great again.

[Ma'Ma] Yes.

This style suits her.

I'm glad it's all about having fun.

I had to do a tango, but she's just like...

[humming]

That's a bit simple.

- She just has to look good. - [Janey] Yes.

We're going to send her home, right?

Yup, that's the plan.

Keep it simple, darling. Then I'll win it.

- The queen. - Yes.

[lip synching] ♪ ...but that is only what you see ♪

This is how you wave.

I think it's a perfect fit.

I have to stand on a balcony and wave at the public.

And then the royal queen transforms into an evil queen.

A greedy, power-hungry bitch.

That's something I can do.

...four.

I wonder how she's going to do.

I'm a little anxious,

because I don't have that much confidence.

- There she is. - [Abby] She's lucky,

she has the easiest part, I think.

She just has to... mime.

Just make sure you shine.

The judges have to decide. The viewers have to enjoy it.

It's up to you to make sure you succeed.

Make sure you're prepared. Thanks.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

In Argentina, a country far, far away,

She grew up in a rich family, and her dad was a real big-shot.

That's probably why she was somewhat spoiled.

Because Máxima always wanted more.

Máxima had only one goal.

who loved drinking beer, so be it.

She still had to force him to propose.

Well, convince him.

[all cheering]

My part went really well.

I thought I did a good job on my musical number.

I just hope it's good enough for me to get to the finale.

Dear queens, this was fan-freaking-tastic.

- Right, girls? - [all] Yes.

I'm not sure if our king and queen

could identify with this,

but I'm sure they can take a joke.

Thanks. Next up is the runway for this semifinal.

This week, there's not one, not two,

but three looks for the runway.

And a theme that fits this royal episode.

Category is...

"Red, white, and blue, bitch."

[Fred] The first look is beachwear.

Envy Peru: "Entering Star Gate."

- Ooh, that's stunning. - [Nikkie] Mmm.

You're invited to join me and step through the Star Gate

to experience the year 2120.

[Nikkie] Everyone's jealous of those sunglasses.

[Edsilia] Plastic, fantastic.

[Fred] Ma'Ma Queen: "Swimming in a Day Dream."

[Nikkie] It's glitter and glamor all over the place.

I love it.

I want to show a burlesque fantasy

with a boa that also stands for a wave.

[Nikkie] Love the redhead.

[Fred] Miss Abby OMG: "Punk Beach."

Today on the runway, I'm a punk bitch,

and all of a sudden, I'm doing a reveal to Nicki Minaj.

[all cheer]

[Nikkie] This is pure rock 'n' roll.

[Roxeanne] It's more like the little mermaid on steroids.

[Fred] Janey Jacké: "South Beach Realness."

[Roxeanne] She has her own line of merchandise.

I love her.

It's like I just went swimming, wrapped myself,

and I'm doing a sexy, flirtatious walk on the beach.

[Edsilia] She's a very patriotic girl.

[Fred] The next runway look is: cocktail dress.

Envy Peru: "Traveling Light Years."

Meet The Jetsons!

One of my favorite cartoons is The Jetsons.

My hair is like a dish that receives all signals from

the greatest cocktail parties in the universe.

[Fred] Lovely glamor puss.

[Roxeanne] This cocktail dress is open for business.

[Nikkie] Out of this world.

[Fred] Ma'Ma Queen: "Extra Ma'Martini."

For my cocktail dress, I'm having my espresso martini.

That's my runway reference to Gooische Drags,

with the funny mannerisms and the winking.

[Roxeanne] A drink in the hand is worth ten in the bush.

[Fred] My thoughts exactly.

A dick in the air is worth... No. [Nikkie laughs]

Better one dick in... Better ten... whatever.

Miss Abby OMG: "Abby Airlines."

Oh, stewardess Abby OMG.

Welcome to Abby Airlines.

We're about to take off.

[Roxeanne] She's a little flighty.

[Fred gasps] Really.

[Edsilia] ♪ One day, I'll fly away ♪

[Fred] Janey Jacké: "Celebrity Cocktail."

I love a cock-tail.

My inspiration was Mariah Carey's cocktail party

where I was invited.

[Nikkie] Red, white and wow!

[Edsilia] She'll have you wrapped around her finger.

[Fred] The last runway look of this semifinal is:

evening gown!

Envy Peru: "Arriving Interstellar Highness."

Is she wearing Abby OMG's necklace around her waist?

- [Nikkie laughs] - Girl, please.

With this look, I'm showing future royal elegance.

- [Nikkie] Red light. - [Fred] Huh?

Ma'Ma Queen: "Finding The Future

By Looking Backwards."

[Nikkie] This is gorgeous.

I've called the royal evening gown

"Finding the Future by Looking Backwards" because

it's important to reflect on what you have achieved

and what you've done.

[Fred] She wears the pants at home.

[Nikkie] Lacquer, leather, rubber...

- Fetish queen. - [Fred] Ooh!

Miss Abby OMG: "The Queen of Tulle."

Is this really Abby?

She's overdressed.

I've never worn so much fabric.

[Nikkie] Shame about the ribbon. [Edsilia] Love the dress.

[Nikkie] But shame about the ribbon!

Diamonds are forever.

[Fred] Not if they get stolen.

Janey Jacké: "A Patriotic Night."

My evening gown is very pageantry-inspired.

Kind of a new take on the old-school drag.

[Fred] She passed with flying colors.

[Fred and Nikkie singing Dutch national anthem]

Girls, thanks for your looks on the runway

and for the Rusical.

But, girls, this is the semifinal.

How's it going? Are you ready for it?

Ready to cut some high heels?

Get rid of the competition?

Envy, who do you think should go?

Ooh.

There's that damn question again.

Oh, okay...

um...

[Janey] All I see is Abby turning her head towards me.

Here we go.

I hate this question.

I honestly think I should consider the track record.

That way, it's fair to everyone.

Ma'Ma Queen had a win.

Janey Jacké had a win.

Abby hasn't had one yet.

It breaks my heart to name her once again,

but it is what it is.

Sorry, Abby.

- [Fred] We'll see. - We'll see.

Ma'Ma Queen...

would you feel bad if you left today?

- Of course. - That's what I like to hear.

Who's leaving tonight?

I'm thinking that the other girls are honest enough

to also consider the track record.

I want to be in the finale

with the people I connect most with,

Abby and Janey.

And that's why I would prefer if Envy went home tonight.

Ooh!

It feels pretty good to have her on my side.

[Ma'Ma] I said Envy's name,

and I can tell she took it really hard.

I can also see Fred's reaction,

giving me a look that says, "Are you kidding me?"

I just wanted to get the hell off the runway.

If you're saying that Envy has to go home

because she's our competition

and she's already won four times,

I get that, but Ma'Ma Queen made an emotional decision.

That really hurts.

[Fred] Miss Abby OMG.

- Hello, baby. - Hello, baby.

Who do you think should go home tonight?

I really wish all four of us could be in the finale.

Girlfriend, he asked for a name!

[Janey] We also don't like to get that question.

We don't like to throw someone under the bus.

But that's the game.

But you did do the most lip-synch battles.

And won the most.

I know, girlfriend. [all laughing]

Uh-huh! Next up is Janey Jacké.

- Dear Janey, how are things? - [Janey] Good.

[Fred] Who do you think is going home?

Abby, because she's done three lip-synchs

and hasn't won yet.

[Fred] Okay, fair enough.

If you're the weakest link,

you should be sent home.

[dramatic music]

It's about time we hear from the judges.

We'll start off with Envy Peru.

I love all the tiny details.

The small latex gloves with the enormous latex boots.

That was really well done.

I liked you in the Rusical.

But I thought the others were a bit better.

Okay.

[Fred] Edsilia.

You own the stage with your outfit.

It was awesome.

Next up is [whispers] Ma'Ma Queen.

You were royal during the Rusical.

Your lip-synch was on point.

I thought your bathing suit was just perfect.

I just had an issue with your stockings.

They had to be a different color.

The other girls had a nicer color,

and yours was kind of grayish.

You looked like Pinocchio, with wooden legs.

- I'm sure you didn't want that. - No.

Miss Abby OMG.

We can call you Queen Abby OMG.

Because you look absolutely stunning, darling.

My only gripe is that ribbon.

What's with the ribbon?

It cheapens the outfit.

I thought It would help tighten my waist.

[Fred] Aha.

Less is more.

I was blown away when I saw you dance on those high heels.

Just great.

Janey Jacké.

Your look tonight may be my favorite look of the evening.

Yes, you looked great, and you had a great Rusical.

That tango, those moves, that tautness.

That was so well done.

I was amazed every time you appeared on the runway.

Now that I see you talk,

I'd like to see you smile a bit more

and show a little bit more of your inner personality.

The runway... your dress was gorgeous.

The cocktail dress was fine.

I loved the first look.

You're a natural beauty. You all are.

I think all of you are gorgeous semifinalists,

and I'm very proud of you all.

- So, well done. - Thanks.

Girls, we're going to gossip a bit, so go relax in the back,

and we'll see you later.

Bye, girl!

We get to the workroom,

and the tension is just unbearable.

That fucked-up question on the runway:

"Who do you think should go home?"

I just said what I was feeling.

I think that you know how highly I regard you.

I think you're great.

That's the sorriest excuse ever.

You should want to beat the best contestant.

This is not a friendly get-together.

Abby and I have made plans about what to do after the show.

I did the same with you. I don't feel that way about you.

I'm here for myself, you know.

[dramatic music]

I was clear.

I can see all four of us in the finale.

[Envy] You're the only one who didn't mention a name.

I'm looking at Abby, and all I see is...

I don't think it's necessary to say a name.

If you want to do that...

- It's up to you to... - Sorry, but that's a cop-out,

putting it back on us.

- No, I know. - [Janey] It's a competition.

The question was asked.

This is not why I'm here.

If everyone holds a grudge against me...

Man the fuck up, grow the fuck up.

Just answer the damn question.

The atmosphere is poisonous.

It's not personal. It's just the competition.

If we'd answered with the track record in mind,

then the emotions probably wouldn't have changed.

My dear girlfriends of the jury.

Let's start with Envy Peru.

What did you think of her Rusical?

I do think she was the weakest of them all.

The cocktail dress with the glamor puss

and that freaky red hair,

she was on the money.

Sorry, you lost me at glamor puss.

That's what I thought. [Edsilia laughs]

Miss Abby OMG.

Roxe, you're a fan, right?

[Roxeanne] Yes, I love Miss Abby.

What a body. Jesus.

- Everything... - [Roxeanne] Fantastic.

- The bitch. - [Edsilia] Great personality.

Stage presence. A real entertainer.

The weak point was the lip-synch.

It just wasn't good enough.

Next up is Ma'Ma Queen.

I thought Ma'Ma Queen had a very strong Rusical.

She remembered her lines.

But when I look at tonight's runway,

I think some of the choices she made,

like the bathing suit with those awful stockings...

- [Fred] Ugh! - That was a big mistake.

Janey Jacké.

Sometimes I wonder if she's in a Drag Race competition

or a beauty queen competition, because she's gorgeous.

I just loved her Rusical. I thought it was the bomb.

It was so good.

She has something magical

and could do a beauty queen competition.

Thank you, dear Edsilia.

Girls, this is the semifinal.

I hate to choose, but someone has to go.

But who?

Very difficult. I wouldn't want to be you.

The problem is that they're all so good.

[Nikkie] Yes, and it's...

I was going to choose Miss Abby OMG,

but she improved so much these last two weeks.

- Definitely. Yes. - Yes. Ma'Ma Queen?

Janey Jacké, Envy Peru. Hello!

- [Roxeanne] Also great. - [Nikkie] Yes.

- They're all queens. - But who is the total package?

Who was just more consistent? That's...

Silence!

I've made my decision.

Bring back my...

semifinalist girls.

Welcome back, queens.

Thanks for your looks and your runway performances

and the Rusical.

The semifinal...

four queens...

You've made it very difficult for us.

Very difficult.

But two queens will face each other

in the lip-synch battle.

And one of you will be going home.

[dramatic music]

This week's winner...

and also the winner of the Rusical is...

[dramatic music]

Janey Jacké.

[applause]

Congratulations, darling.

Thank you.

You've won a gift certificate valued at 1.000 euros

from my lovely girlfriend, Nikkie Plessen.

Both for men and women.

Thanks so much. Thanks.

You've won because you were simply amazing

in the Rusical.

You were strong.

Your lip-synch was fierce.

You were the complete package.

My dear...

How's it going?

- Fucking finale. - Fucking finale, girlfriend!

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

- [Fred] Congratulations. - Thanks.

There are still three gorgeous queens in front of me.

One of you will go straight to the finale.

The other two will face off in the lip-synch battle.

Who stays...

and who goes?

I know I'm on shaky ground

because of those bitches' comments.

I'm afraid that the lip-synch is only a matter of time.

I'm a little concerned that Abby might be safe,

so I might be facing Envy.

In a lip-synch battle, it's, "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck."

Everything's on the line.

The person who'll go straight to the finale...

is...

Envy Peru.

[applause]

[Fred] Congratulations, darling.

It was very, very well deserved.

Thanks. You can go join your girlfriend.

- Thanks. - [Fred] Thanks, darling.

I'm so relieved that I'm going to the finale!

With Janey.

Janey said, "You got this, girl. You've earned it."

All I could think of was how I dodged the lip-synch battle.

This means, of course, my dear Ma'Ma Queen

and Miss Abby OMG,

that you will be in tonight's lip-synch battle.

You've prepared a lip-synch battle for tonight

to the song "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson.

For both of you, this will be the last chance...

to battle

for that all-important spot in the finale.

It's time...

to lip-synch for your life!

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

[all applauding]

Wow, girls.

Of course, a couple of ladies were stripping onstage again.

So, put your clothes back on, and we'll continue.

Thank God we made it to the end of the song.

I may have just lip-synched Ma'Ma out of the competition.

My dear queens.

I know the tension must be unbearable.

Just know that this is the most difficult decision

I've ever had to make.

Dear Abby...

and dear Ma'Ma Queen...

Please, please, please, don't let this be the moment...

Shantay, you stay.

Both of you.

Girl, really?

Dear girls, I just couldn't choose.

You were both good.

Your looks are good.

You're the perfect candidates for the finale.

Congratulations, girls.

Woo!

My wish came true.

After four times at the bottom, I'm going to the finale.

Ha, ha!

Take this, you queens.

[Ma'Ma] It hasn't sunk in yet that I'm in the finale.

That whole day was just too much for a person to handle.

So, in front of me and in the back are the four

gorgeous queens of the very first Drag Race Holland.

- [applause] - Thanks.

I'm looking at Janey, and we're like...

"Girl, what the fuck is this?"

We are both not having this.

Not at all.

[Janey] You have to be on top of your game all the time.

If you're shaking in your boots during the lip-synch,

you're not there, and you don't deserve it.

Sorry, not sorry.

So, ladies, congratulations, all four of you.

There's one more person who would like to say something.

Con-drag-ulations, 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.

♪ Can you feel the love? ♪

I think it's great.

I've got the attitude down.
