Original subtitles

This is not RuPaul's Best Friend Race.

I feel very attacked!

Ooh, yes.

Well, we made it.

I have had everybody in this goddamn race coming for me.

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: Ladies, I've made my decision.

Joey Jay, Denali,

Tamisha Iman, Utica, Rosé,

you're getting the porkchop.

Wow.

What the fuck?

This is crazy.

I feel awful.

It sucks.

It can't end this soon.

It's not fair.

I'm confused and I'm hurting,

because I have a lot to show,

and I have no idea what to do next.

Wow.

-Hi. -Hello.

Hi.

I'm not sure what is going on.

I find four other drag queens,

and they're all sitting there looking pretty defeated.

Welcome to the porkchop queen.

-Welcome to the show. Bye. -Yeah, seriously.

I'm, like, so gagged that just happened.

I know, right?

First of all, who did you lip sync against?

Olivia Lux.

Okay.

I'm from New York, and she's also from New York.

Nice.

My girl was from New York. I had Kandy Muse.

Oh, I love Kandy, I'm glad she's here.

Me, too.

[all laugh]

Whupped my ass.

Does that really feel good?

Kandy's a fucking riot.

Now we're sitting alone in VIP.

Well, not totally alone.

No, that is true, yeah.

I'm sure wherever she is, she's very loud.

[laughs]

Yeah, she's loud.

So, really, you knew who you were lip syncing against.

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Did that make it feel, like, different or weird at all?

Yeah, it did.

The last time I saw Olivia

was at a big competition in New York,

where I was hosting and she was competing.

So, like, that's, like, the full circle for that bitch

to come back and, like, beat the host of a competition, you know?

I was really gagged that that happened.

I know. Like, at all, right?

Yeah. I was so, like, in my head during that.

That was, like, not my tea.

Utica, how did you feel about that lip sync?

I was caught a little off-guard.

You know, I felt like, damn, I made it.

And then the feeling of, oh, my God...

I'm going home first.

I didn't expect to have it end this way.

I didn't get to show my work.

I feel sad about it, you know?

Feels rough.

How do you feel?

I'm still kind of in shock.

Yeah.

But I'm a pageant girl,

so I know when I've been beaten,

and I can accept that.

But I was like, you know what?

-Word. -That's how I felt.

Keep in mind, I got cast for Season 12.

-Oh! -Word!

But when I got cast, I discovered I had cancer.

Shut up!

And I had to start immediate radiation and chemo.

-Oh, my God. -So I wasn't able to come.

And I fought back to get back here one year later.

I couldn't walk at one time.

The radiation had gotten so bad

to where I couldn't walk anymore.

So to actually be back here in my livelihood,

I made it, you know?

That's sickening. Congratulations.

RuPaul: Ladies, I've made my decision.

Kahmora Hall and Elliott,

you are both getting the porkchop.

Now sashay away.

I'm so confused.

I feel so defeated.

Am I going home?

Is this a trick?

I don't know what's going on, and it's horrible.

I feel like I let myself down.

I know that I'm so much better than this,

and I know that I have more to show.

So knowing that I got the chop,

I can just feel, like, my dreams slipping away.

-Hi! -Hi, hi, hi.

-Hi! -I know this one.

Let me hug you! Ooh!

Denali!

Oh, my God, I can't believe it.

I can't believe you're here.

I'm Kahmora.

The legend, Kahmora Hall.

-Right. -Oh, stop, I'm not!

But I'll take it.

Of the Tajma Halls and the Jaida Essence Halls.

Oh, cute.

So wait. How did your lip sync go?

Girl, I went through, like, a mix of emotions.

It was traumatizing.

Like, I put so much into this competition.

Like, I used, like, so much of my savings for this.

At the same time, it's like I'm just so grateful,

because I've wanted Drag Race for so long.

Right.

And, like, just to be here means a lot.

What in the heck do you think is about to happen next?

Our picture's gonna be on that wall, too.

Can I be next to Soju, though? That's my daughter?

-Is it? -Yeah, we both went home first.

-Oh! -[laughs]

Soju and her cyst?

[all laugh]

I came here for justice for Soju,

but, well, that ended, so...

[all laugh]

What's crazier to me

is that the only queen I got to meet was Tina.

I've seen you before.

You were at Las Vegas.

I sure was.

That's a horrible, you know, impression, I'm telling you.

[all laugh]

You know what I'm saying?

The same exact thing has happened to all of us.

-Yes. -Right.

So I'm sure at this point

I feel like there's another room, like--

Where they're talking shit.

I think there's probably another kiki happening

with the girls who beat us right now.

Oh, I'm sure.

God.

So let's get down to the real, real, real tea.

You bitches walk in. It's you and another girl.

-Right. -It's crazy.

What goes through your mind?

When we got on that main stage,

I don't know about y'all, but I was just, like,

there ain't no way I'm walking in in my entrance outfit

and they're gonna be sitting up in there, judging, you know?

-Right. That early. -And I'll tell you what.

I rounded that corner and I shit my pants.

I was just like this.

-[laughs] -You know what I mean?

At that point, everything that I thought that I knew walking in

flew right out the window.

Yeah, which of course is how they like to do it.

Exactly. When you walk in,

you think you're gonna meet, like, all the queens.

I was excited!

Or at least, like, half the cast.

Like, we're gonna talk

and we're gonna say, "You're horrible,"

It's one thing to be told, oh, you're going to lip sync.

It's another thing to go on the main stage

on your first day of Drag Race

in front of the four judges,

RuPaul in drag staring through your soul.

And now you have to put on a show,

not only for them, but to save your ass as well.

Bitch--

I thought it was gonna be, like, oh, we're lip syncing,

and then, you know, you get put in another group.

But she said, you go home now, and I was like, oh.

I was like, "What's going on?"

I didn't believe it, either.

No, I was, like, there's no way.

My thing is if I was sitting up there

and they told me, like, that I lost,

I would have been over it.

Bitch, how you think they feel?

It's lucky 13, even though it's not, but it is.

I'm not feeling so lucky today, actually.

I don't think so either.

I love to compete, you know,

so I was like, fuck, I'm the first one.

I'm like...shook.

Kind of cutthroat. A little cutthroat.

-Yeah, it's a little cutthroat. -Yeah.

It's like, you know, no one wants to go home first.

No one. No, no.

I'll tell you what.

This is not what I expected to happen today

on my first day at RuPaul's Drag Race.

You'd think it would be a happy get-to-know-you moment,

but we feel so defeated.

We feel like this is the end.

I'm feeling good about all six of us, so...

-Yeah. -I agree.

This is a cute couch. This is a cute couch.

I think we should keep the couch.

There's enough space. [all laugh]

We don't need any more.

[laughs]

With me, because there was two girls,

they were like, "Two of you are going home."

And I said, "Excuse me?"

Elliott and Kahmora Hall.

Wait, you said two girls?

Wait, what?

[laughs]

-You only had one? -Oh, yeah.

Oh, so there's 13 of us.

Oh, word, bitch.

Oh, that is shady.

Yeah. [laughs]

-Y'all are shady. -Honey.

Wait. So both got sent home?

See that? I sent two home.

She sent two home.

Oh, okay.

-An assassin. -Yeah.

That's gaggy.

That's crazy.

So my girl's name was Denali.

Girl, she had on ice skates.

Those are real skates.

They are, Miss Thing.

Wow.

-Ice? -Like blades?

Bitch, she was scooty-doo-doo.

How?

Bitch, I don't know. She was scooty-doo-doo.

Basically, you were, what, Tonya Harding, then.

You just came by,

and you were gonna just, like, take her out, girl.

-Basically, girl. -Okay.

So how did you feel walking into the werkroom,

like, finally being in the werkroom?

Bitch.

-[laughs] -Girl.

How many times have you auditioned, like, to be in this?

-Once. -Mm!

-Word! -Oh.

And so it just, like,

it hasn't really hit me yet, you know?

I'm like, bitch, one time, and, bitch, I'm here.

It's, like, oh.

Wait. How many times has everyone auditioned here?

Twice.

-This is my third. -Third.

I don't remember.

She's, like, 17.

[laughs] 17.

No, it's not even that.

Like, I think, like, I think I lost count at, like, seven.

Oh, word. I've only done four.

I'm guessing once for you, right?

Just once, yeah.

Last year, I wasn't even-- it didn't even apply to me,

because I had been doing drag

for, like, three weeks last year.

So this was my first time I even tried.

-Must be nice. -That is crazy, y'all.

You won a pageant title as well, right?

Yeah, I won a Miss Paradise.

See, I pay attention.

-You do! -Thank you.

I pretend like I don't, but I do.

It was hard,

and it was, like, months and months of preparation.

It was one of the hardest things I've ever done in drag,

and now I'm here!

-Months and months? -Yeah.

You started a year ago!

That is nuts.

-It's true. -My first year of drag,

I don't even think that's considered drag.

-Yeah. Same. -Like, at all.

-Like, it's so scary. -You know what it is?

It's like you know when you work so hard to get somewhere

and you've fought for so long, for so long, for so long

and, like, you're finally here.

And then it's, like, to go home? Hell, no, bitch.

-Not an option. -That wasn't a option.

Not an option.

I was, like, I will get there when it's my time.

-Absolutely. -And when it's ready.

I mean, thank God I'm here now,

because of, like, I feel ready, you know what I'm saying?

One of the things I thought about,

like going through so many mixed emotions

as you're being eliminated, right?

-And you're, like-- -Porkchopped.

Oh, my gosh, like, I know what Dahlia's feeling.

And then you're, like, wait a minute.

Shangela has felt this before,

but has also walked the Oscars carpet, you know?

-Hello. -Yeah.

You know what? I will gladly go on this wall,

since Vanjie and Shangela are on there.

Because they have come back several times

and did the damn thing.

-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. -The queen of the exit lines.

But I'm already here.

[all laugh]

Like, damn, I don't wanna go to the airport and go through TSA.

I know. Let me show at least one runway.

One more wig. [laughs]

One more wig, one more runway, something.

I just wanna show one more hat, just one more hat.

Just show one more look.

That's the first thing I thought, too,

was, like, oh, my God, my suitcase isn't even opened yet.

Right.

Like, I'm sure we all had so much to show.

I worked so hard to be here.

There's never been a girl from Phoenix here.

I mean, I'm sure you guys all feel the same way.

[sighs] I have no idea what the porkchop means.

I'm thinking, you lost.

You lost and that's it. It's over.

I don't wanna go.

I wanted the experience.

We all wanted the experience.

It's devastating.

So how does it feel to be in, like, this new normal

with the whole masks?

-And COVID and stuff. -Six feet.

It's so crazy, because going from, like,

working at a bar every single night,

surrounded by people, to being, like, by yourself

is the weirdest, like, feeling ever.

I don't think I've been in drag in front of people.

-It's been about five months? -Five, six months.

Yeah, it's a scary world, right?

I think that we have to adapt.

Even, like, here, you can see,

like, everyone's wearing a mask, we're not touching anyone,

and we're getting our COVID tests done.

That's the only action I got, girl,

is that Q-Tip up my nose all this time.

[all laugh] I was like, sis.

I was like, is there an alternate option?

Can I do the anal option, maybe?

[all laugh] Girl!

Yeah, it's getting hot in here.

Is there any feedback on the main stage that you guys got

that you were kind of like, ooh, like, shook about, or--

I liked my feedback.

Ooh, they praised you, bitch.

I was kind of nervous about this outfit,

because I didn't want anyone to think I was a narcissist.

But I do love my--like, my drag character did save my life,

so, like, I definitely wanted

to, like, touch on that a little bit.

I was a really lonely, depressed kid.

I was bullied a lot.

I didn't exactly know what was wrong with me.

A Black kid, like, you know, it's just a lot going on.

I created her to, like, make me happy.

I don't think I would have made it past high school

if I didn't find this.

Like, it literally made me wanna live.

Like, to push forward and be like, okay,

what can I make out of this life, you know?

What's your answer, Miss Tina?

I mean, the feedback, like, Michelle was just, like,

you know, you're a New York, like, legend.

Ross was, like, oh, he was, like, you were in a boy band.

-And, like, one of the things-- -You were in a boy band?

Yes, honey, I signed with Universal Records

-when I was 19. -What?

Yeah. Oh, girl, there's things you don't know about my life.

Uh-uh! Ooh, she famous!

You don't know about my--

Are you a hot boy?

[all laugh] Are you like Justin Timberlake?

Do you have frosted tips?

No. Well, actually, I did have frosted tips.

[all laugh]

You know, I was living my boy band fantasy.

But, like, we all got secrets.

We all better watch out, you know what I'm saying?

I can sing if I need to, Rosé.

[all laugh]

Rosé and I know each other from New York,

and I guess she's got that reputation

of, like, you know, "I am Rosé."

She likes to compete.

But I think, you know,

Rosé's still figuring out who Rosé is.

We won the first challenge.

Now you know that just means they're, like,

they're gonna be on our assess this season.

-I didn't think about that. -You may be up here right now.

You start up here, where you gonna go from there?

-You gotta climb, honey. -You gotta climb.

That's all right, I'm up to the challenge, girl.

You can't appreciate what you have

unless you've had to fight for it.

And I think I'm a fighter.

Like, I am a fighter.

I'm, like, oh, my God.

Ugh!

We are de-dragging, and, you know, it's some cute boys.

You know, you got Miss Mik, the cute little twink.

You got Miss Tina, a white boy with soul.

I got a man and all,

but I'm into light-skinned boys, you know.

So, you know, Olivia Lux really caught my eye.

But compared to all these girls,

I think I'm the trade here,

and that says a lot. [laughs]

All right, so...

-Yeah? -We have to get to it.

What?

The most important part of this competition.

Which is?

Who's single?

-Whoo! -Right here!

I'm single, honey. Single-pringle over here.

-Single! -Single! [laughs]

I'm single by choice. That's why I'm a ho.

You a ho?

Because you can get your life,

but you don't gotta go home and answer to no one.

Amen.

So now listen, I'm just throwing it out there.

There's a lot of single people here,

and there's restrictions,

and we all stuck in the same house.

I'm just saying.

Y'all better start pairing off now.

We sisters. We can't be touching up on each other!

Hold on, wait, hold on.

-What? -Don't say all that!

Oh, yeah, all bets are off.

[laughs]

This is the first time that we are all getting out of drag.

We're getting to see the boy side of our personas.

And trade? No. [laughs]

Now that it's us, the New York bitches over here--

-Okay. -Okay.

Let's get down to the real tea.

What are y'all really afraid of, like, in this competition?

I guess not coming across, like, with who I am.

You know what I mean?

Like, sometimes you fear that, like--

A bitch.

I'm not a bitch.

-I'm kidding. -I know.

What I'm saying is it's just, like, I tell the truth,

and sometimes, the truth, like,

really gets people worked up.

What about you? What are you scared of?

I wanna come into this competition

and just, like, do it for me and have a good time.

I think the hardest part is coming across as myself,

but, like, making sure people are, like--

no, like, I'm not being a bitch.

It's just, like, the way I am.

I'm just nervous about getting in my own head

and, like, just seeing everyone and what they're, like, good,

and, like, the loud personalities,

and just being, like.

I just need to stay out of my own head

and do what I need to do, honey.

That's what I'm most nervous about.

Like, my persona, the image, that I like her looking like,

if it gets a little too far,

there's something that's, like, off.

So I have to make sure that we shove that noise away.

I'm afraid of being looked at

as somebody that hasn't worked as hard

as other girls to get here,

because I worked really, really hard to get here still.

You prove it. Just because it's been a year,

and just because I've been before Christ--

[laughs]

-Not B.C.! -Girl!

No, it's Before Charles.

[laughs]

If we do get a second chance, which I fucking hope we do,

and if we're all working together to do that,

like, we gotta fucking bring it.

-Exactly. -Word.

I'll send the other bitches home.

Like, collectively.

-We'll pick one at a time. -Okay.

We have to, like, really, really fucking kill it.

Right.

RuPaul: Attention, queens in the porkchop loading dock.

You all have a chance to return to the competition.

But first, you must give one of your fellow queens the chop.

You know what the gag is, that we're all unpacking,

and we're all kiki-ing and having a good time,

but the reality of it is

someone has to go home every single week.

Yeah, true. [laughs]

Oh, so you're like, why are we unpacking everything?

And then you're gonna have to re-pack everything.

Who me? Aah!

[all laugh]

Ladies, you got about five minutes to wrap it up, please.

Five minutes.

Oh, my God, bitch, we're actually here!

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13, bitch!

Aah!

All right, bitch, but five minutes is five minutes,

so come on, bitch!

I had a great first day here,

and it is so great to win my first lip sync.

I think I gave a great first impression with my look.

You see this? You see this?

Season 13, bitches!

This is our life.

Whoo! [both laugh]

This is crazy!

Bitch!

I'm excited, nervous,

anxious to see how everything turns out.

You know, we have already been given some curveballs, so...

-[laughs] -Bye!

And, baby, there ain't no telling

what's around this corner.
