RuPaul: Last time,
we served you high fashion...

Bring it to the hodge-podge,
hodge-podge.

And brought you major drama.

A red wig and a silver dress?

I don't think.

New drag icons were born.

♪ I wanna break up ♪

And we took the telly by storm.

This ain't the BBC
I grew up watching.

We left you gagging for more.

[imitating Donald Trump]
It's been absolutely great.

It's been tremendous
Thank you.

So now we're back
to let the UK have it.

Come on, love,
I haven't got all day.

[RuPaul laughs]

RuPaul: The winner crowned
the UK's Drag Race superstar

will receive an all expenses
paid trip to Hollywood

to create
their own digital series

with the producers
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Tonight, with Michelle Visage,
Graham Norton,

and extra-special guest judge
Elizabeth Hurley.

♪ May the best woman ♪

♪ Best woman win ♪

[bagpipes play]

I'm like the Loch Ness Monster.

A legend.

My name is Lawrence Chaney.
I'm 23 years old,

and I'm
Scottish drag royalty.

Which basically means no one
in England knows who I am.

[laughs]

Oh, my God,
I am the first one.

It's just like
my friends list on Facebook.

No one!

I'm the first queen
from Scotland

to be on Drag Race UK.

And I'm glad to be
popping everyone's cherry

of their Scottishlessness.

Oh, here we go. Ahh.

Scotland is here!

I come with subtitles,
I promise.

I am the Susan Boyle
of RuPaul's Drag Race UK,

because I dreamed a dream.

I don't know the other lyrics,

but I'm sure as fuck SuBo
didn't, either. [laughs]

Let's see what the UK queens
are bringing.

[thud]
Oh!

[laughs]

Oh, my God. [laughs]

Okay, guys, just a second.

That's brilliant.

You could nae plan that.
You couldn't.

Roses are red
and violets are blue.

Here's your winner
of Season 2.

[laughs]

Hi, my name
is Cherry Valentine.

I am 26 years old,
and I am from Darlington.

Oh, she's coming for blood.

I'm not a comedy queen,
I'm not a performance queen,

I'm not a look queen,
I'm all of them.

Watch out, bitches.
Here I am. [laughs]

Oh, my God!

-Oh, my God.
-Hi, darling!

You look amazing.

-I'm Cherry.
-Mwah, mwah.

I've been doing drag
for just over a year now.

My boyfriend came home one day
and I was in a dress,

and he was like,
"This is new." [laughs]

-Where are you from?
-Darlington.

Ahh. Do they have good teeth
in Darlington? No.

[both laugh]

I do have three jobs
at the minute:

drag queen, I do Botox,
I do fillers,

and I'm a mental health nurse.

So I'm literally,
like, a one-woman band.

I could be traveling the world,

giving queens Botox,
putting on a show,

and then come in afterwards
and giving them some therapy.

[laughs]

Do you make your own costumes?

Absolutely.

If doesn't look cheap
and homemade...

It's not drag.

You're not
from Darlington, yeah.

[both laugh]

It is finally time
to spill the Tia.

Reveal!

It's not a reveal, so...

[laughs]

I'm Tia Kofi,

and I am a lovely, brown,
caffeinated beverage.

Drink it up. Delicious.

I named myself after Tia Mowry
from the iconic Sister, Sister,

and former UN Secretary
General Kofi Annan.

I was nearly called
Tamara Boutros Boutros-Ghali,

but it didn't have
the same ring to it.

Oh, hello!

-Hi, darling!
-Hi!

I'm bringing live vocals.

I'm not really sort of too
fussed about looking the best.

I'm just there
to entertain the audience.

So stick that in your
death-dropping shablam.

I'm originally from Essex,
but I now live in Clapham.

What's Clapham?

Clapham's just really gay.

There's lots of gays
in Clapham.

Oh, fabulous.

There's a massive difference

between a Clapham queen
and an East London queen.

For starters, Clapham queens
can entertain audiences.

Hmm.

Come on, Tits McGee.

Oh, my God.

I'm vegan. [laughs]

I am Bimini Bon-Boulash,

and I'm East London's
plant-based princess.

She looks like a Barbie.

Yeah. Bitch.
[all laugh]

I'm, like, the most famous
vegan in East London

'cause I don't stop
going on about it.

Aah!

Aah! Hey, girl.

-Hey, bitches!
-Oh, my God.

How are we?

The biggest misconception
of my drag

is that I am just sexy.
[laughs]

I can't stop looking
at them boobs.

Thank you, they're natural.

[all laugh]

But I can dance. I'm East
London's bendiest bitch.

There's not been
a pole high enough

that I've not been able
to drop split down.

And all it takes
is a bit of delusion.

So where you from, Bimini?

I'm East London queen.

Love it, love it.

Originally I'm from Norwich.

-South London.
-Cool.

So, like, same city,
different vibe.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Very that.

I'm from Glasgow, so--

-Oh, my mum's from Glasgow.
-I am your mum.

[all laugh]

I think Bimini's
one of my girls.

And me and my girls, we eat
chicken nuggets together.

Oh, fuck! [laughs]

Hiya, babs.
It's me, Ginny Lemon.

Fancy a slice?

I'm Ginny Lemon,
and I'm an icon.

This is why you need to stop
doing drag at 30, people.

I'm an absolute bastard
of a drag queen.

I would say I'm a glama nana.

I'm definitely a pig in a wig.

I'm beautiful, talented,
glamorous, and very modest.

-Aah!
-Aah!

Aah! Yes!

Mwah, mwah.

I love Ginny Lemon.
Fancy a slice?

What do you do successfully?

I rule the scene
in the West Midlands.

-That's what I do, really.
-Worcestershire.

It's the left nipple
of the West Midlands.

I think fashion-wise,

a hybrid between Grace Jones
and Sue Pollard.

Uh...[wheezes]

What was your name again?

Cherry Valentine.

You had to think, then,
didn't you?

-I'm only young.
-You're only young?

Well, you look much older
in person.

Do you know, I was gonna say
the same about you.

Cheeky bitch!

[all laugh]

Ding-dong, bitches.

The babydoll of Dundee
has arrived.

Hi, I'm Ellie Diamond,
I'm 21 years old,

and you can find me
doon the toon

in Dundee, bonnie Scotland.

Miss Piggy.

Lawrence, are you okay, hon?

You're not the only Scottish
queen on the season now.

Hi!

-Hi!
-Hello!

Oh, my God.

My drag is definitely
inspired by cartoons.

I love to use bright colors.

I'm a look queen.
I'm very Instagram-driven.

I like to do a lot of,
like, costume things.

-Did you make this?
-Yeah, yeah, I made this, yeah.

-Gorgeous!
-Oh, my God.

99.9% of everything that
I've brought to Drag Race

is made by me, apart from,
you know, the shoes.

But we're learning
how to do that soon enough.

[laughs]

-You're both Scottish.
-Yeah.

Do you know each other,
by any chance?

-Oh, my God.
-I feel like you might.

Do we know each other?

You messaged me on Instagram
before you started drag.

Asking where you got a bodysuit
and your wigs from.

Yeah, and I gave you
my terrible advice.

There's many amazing
Scottish queens,

but there's only one
Lawrence Chaney.

And she's sat here
in this chair,

and it's about to break.

We're good friends, though.

Yeah, yeah, we're
good friends, absolutely.

-And you have styled my wigs--
-Several.

Lawrence is definitely
competition,

but I know I am the best
drag queen within Scotland,

and these other bitches
better watch out, period.

[laughs]

[gasp]

Well, I don't know
what all the fuss is about.

It doesn't look any bigger
than the Mauretania.

What was that?
Oh, I didn't get that.

Hi, I'm Sister Sister,

I'm 31 years old,
and I'm from Liverpool.

She went down on a Smurf
this morning.

[all laugh]

I thought I represented
very normal drag

until I started working
with other drag queens

and realized that actually,
I'm a bit kooky.

Oh, hi, girls!

-Hi.
-Hi.

Hi, babe.

Sister Sister
is a comedy queen.

My humor's very dry.

Like, I think it would
be easy to miss things.

Or maybe the jokes
were just never there

for you to find
in the first place.

Who knows?

-Where is it you're from?
-I'm from Liverpool.

-Liverpool?
-Aah!

You don't sound like
you're from Liverpool.

I know.
I like shocking people,

making people question whatever
it is that they're looking at

that's drawn on my face.
[laughs]

This is fun.

This is exciting!

Honestly, it's just nice
to be out of the house.

[all laugh]
Were you first in?

-Yeah.
-First in, first home.

Good.
[all laugh]

Oh, wait.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

This doesn't look
like Barbie Island.

But it sure will do.

Oi, oi, oi, Saveloy.

I'm Tayce, I'm 25,

and I'm from Newport,
South Wales, baby.

Let's go!

Get it, bitch!

Welsh queen, Welsh queen!

-Hi!
-Hi!

[laughs]

Oh, my God!

When I was younger, my
inspiration was Cruella de Vil.

That's my look,
like, you know, villain,

but sweet as hell.

I had to come show my face,

say hi, see what's going on.

You've got such a sexy accent.

It is gorgeous.

-Keep talking, please!
-Stop flirting!

I have a few little, um,
Welsh little sayings

I can bring to the place.

You know, we've got
poppity-ping: microwave.

Seisnag: sausage.

Scladian.
I forgot what that is.

[laughs] I know.

The worst Welsh in the world.

What's your
performance background?

Oh, I love to just--I love
to dance my ass off on stage.

You're a dance queen? Yes.

I'm gonna bring you the dancing,

the funny, the goofy.

I'm just all over
the shop, really.

I'm a bit of a mess,
but a hot mess.

[laughs]

Ahh. [laughs]

[gasps]

I know what you're thinking.

God, Glenn Close looks rough.
[laughs]

Yes, bitch!

[all laugh]

I am international cabaret
sensation Joe Black.

Come on, Crystal Ball.

Stunning! Stunning!

I have been doing
cabaret shows for 13 years.

I think I'm fairly well known.

I think I've made a little
reputation for myself.

Maybe other people
coming into the competition

might be familiar.

-Ooh!
-Ooh!

[all laugh]

The cabaret queen has arrived.

Ooh. I'm bringing
to this competition

some cartoonish, ridiculous,
glamorous looks.

But it's entirely likely
that I will fall over.

You're quite internationally
kind of renowned.

I couldn't say such things,
but I do quite well for myself.

Oh, does she?

She's the Gloria Swanson
of drag.

Oh, I wish I was. Dead!

[all laugh]

Ooh!

Ooh, my.

Well, I think it's about time
to get this party started.

Mm-hmm, right now!

I'm Veronica Green,
I'm 34 years old,

and I'm known for going
from Gollum to gorgeous

in three hours.

-Who is she?
-Who is Veronica Green?

I do know. [laughs]

She's glamorous,
she's sexy, she's gorgeous.

And she's...
coming to a screen near you?

I don't know!

[shouting and screaming]

-Oh, my God, hello!
-Hi, diva!

Hi, Ellie Diamond.
Nice to meet you.

Oh, my gosh,
I know who you are.

I know pretty much
all the girls here.

They don't know me, though.

-Gorgeous!
-Oh, my God.

I'm such a fan.

I love you.

She's a fan of me,
which is nice.

Shame it ain't reciprocated.

Never heard of you, babes.

What do you do, Veronica?

I did musical theater.

Yes!

But drag is my passion,
you know?

Like, I'm like everybody.

Oh, it's not mine.
I'm here by accident.

[all laugh]

Oh!

-Ooh!
-Oh.

Rude.
[all laugh]

I'm Asttina Mandella,
and I am rude,

I'm rowdy,
and I'm disrespectful.

But you know what?
I'm here for it.

Well, there's no denying
who that is, is there?

Everyone seems to know me.

They're all gagged.

I can hear it, I can feel it.

You saw the energy.
It's there.

-Pure style.
-What!

[screams and laughter]

Aah! Mwah, mwah!

How are you?

I'm good.
How are you, love?

Ladies, I'm gonna tell you
a secret.

Asttina, she is
one fierce performer.

Everyone looks incredible.

What do you do
as, like, your act?

So I'm, like, a dancing queen.
I spin around.

I create, like, big
MTV-style performances.

And she loves them,
she loves them.

Read the CV.
It is all there for you.

I can sing, I can act,
I can do comedy, I can host,

I can choreograph,
I can do a lot of things.

And people
find that intimidating,

which is not my fault.

-I've got to ask.
-Go on.

Is there gonna be
some competition

between all these
dancing queens?

There's a lot of people that
claim to be a dancing queen.

They only have, like,

an arsenal of I wanna say
two or three moves...

where my arsenal is,
um, infinite.

Basically I'm the Infinity
Gauntlet of dancing.

I will say good luck
in the lip sync against me.

-Ooh!
-I'm not gonna lie.

Okay.

Oh.

Click-click, bitch.

There really is
no place like home.

-Okay!
-Oh!

Oh, no, she killed Toto!
[all laugh]

I'm A'Whora.

I'm a northern queen
of the fashion scene

living in London.

She's not in Kansas anymore.

My boy name is George, which
in Spanish translates as Jorge.

So, A'Whora.

-Oh!
-Hello!

Bitch!

Oh, shit, your dog!

[laughs]

I'm scared of her.

I've heard some tales.

I've never met A'Whora,
but I've heard a lot about her.

My mum always taught me

if you haven't got
anything nice to say...

In reality, everyone thinks
I'm a bit of a Veruca Salt,

but I'm actually
a bit of a Willy Wonka.

I just wanna give you

an opportunity for
a Golden Ticket with me.

I am a fashion designer.

-Oh!
-Okay.

-She's wore my shit.
-Mm-hmm.

Many people have worn my shit,
but I thought, you know what?

I wanna start dressing myself.

Because these girls
don't wear it right.

[screams and laughter]

Okay, there's some real
competition in the room.

So is that all of us?

Did they save
the best for last?

[laughs] You wish.

Girls, you know
what this means?

We're the queens
of Season 2!

[screaming and laughter]

[alarm]
Oh, my God!

RuPaul: Ooh, girl!

It's our first Ru-mail.

This is so exciting!

Her majesty done already
done had herses.

'Allo, queens!

[screaming]

Can you Adam-and-Eve it?

We're back, back, back again.

Unlike most she-quels,

this season's
gonna be much bettah.

Much bettah!

You okay, hon?

-Ooh!
-Ooh!

'Ello, guvna.

[cheering]

Oh, my God, there he is.
RuPaul Charles.

I'm looking at him,
and he's looking at me,

and it's weird,
but I love it.

Welcome
to RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

[cheering]

We are searching for the UK's
next Drag Race superstar.

[cheering]

Now, I've personally selected
each of you to compete

because you embody
the dynamic drag culture

right here
in the United Kingdom.

[cheering]

#DragRaceUK.

Now, I have to warn you.

Drag Race is not for sissies.

Oh.

You are about to take
the ride of your life.

So don't just get cute,
get drop-dead gorgeous.

Hey!
[cheers and laughter]

Because in the end,

the winner
of RuPaul's Drag Race UK

will be whisked off to Hollywood
to star in her very own series.

[laughter]

My passport's
been stamped a lot,

but it hasn't been stamped
for Hollywood.

So guess what?

I'm gonna go to Hollywood.

Okay, who's ready
to claim the crown?

[all shout]

♪ Oh, Brit Crew ♪

[cheering]

Hello, Brit Crew!

What happens in Drag Race UK
stays in Drag Race UK.

[laughs]

Now, for your very first
photo challenge,

you'll be taking center court,

as you serve
a championship pose.

And in the end,

the Wimbled'Hun who hits me
with the best shot wins.

Let the games begin.

All right, let's go.

[gasps]

Lawrence Chaney, darling.

All right, RuPaul!

I want you to say hello

to celebrity photographer
Kevin McDaid.

-Hi!
-He's photographed Rita Ora,

Jessie Jay, and Cheryl.

Now it's your turn, darling.

I was never one that
was terribly good in PE,

so I'm hoping right now
that my mom can write me

another sick note for this.

Game, set, let's go.

[grunting]

[laughs] Yeah,
shove it up there!

I need a queen
who knows what she looks like

when she has balls
flying at her face.

Please.

Oh, my balls
are flying everywhere!

[laughs]

You love balls, don't you?

Not these fuckin' balls.
[both laugh]

"Put a Scottish queen on,"
they said.

"It'll be fun," they said.

[laughs]

Bastards!

Bring in the big balls!

[laughs]

Category is
great balls of fire.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, Tayce.

All right, let's go.
Let's hit it.

Oh, yes, you've stretched

before you got out here,
didn't you?

-Hi!
-[laughs]

I'm trying to show Ru

that you have a model
on your team,

and she did not come
to play around.

Game, set, match.

50-inch weave, y'all.

Ooh!

Tennis, tennis,
tennis across the board.

Come on down, Bimini.

Oh, my goodness, that's
quite a tennis outfit.

-Something subtle.
-[laughs]

Fellas, can you serve her
a few balls?

Yeah. Oh!

She connected
with that one. Oh, yeah.

You have been bomboulashed.

Can you grab me legs?

Oh, she--
they're gonna grab--okay.

And mouth wide open,
among other things.

Now, remember,
no ball tampering.

Joe Black.

Fashion forecast:
turbans for tennis.

Let's do it.

Can we try a Marilyn moment?

I wanna go up in the air.

Yes, exactly. Uh. Oh.

Ahh.

Not quite like that,

but you're giving me
Finding Nemo there.

Oh, thank you.

[laughs]

I never thought

that I'd be held up
by two men in underwear

while RuPaul sat there
laughing at me.

This is my life now.

Higher!

[laughs]

Oh, yes, yes, boys, right.

Come on, Martina Navratilova.

Cherry Valentine.

When do I see the balls?

Well...
[both laugh]

You ready?

Oh, there you go.

Okay, pose.

Ooh! Yes.

The one thing
I do know about tennis

is how much people grunt,
and I'm a squealer.

Oh!

[laughs]

Whoo!

Game, set, snatch.

Ellie Diamond, begin!

Okay. Ooh!

Oh, you love those balls,
don't you?

-Yeah.
-Bring 'em on.

-Gimme the balls!
-Yeah.

Gimme all your balls.

Yeah, balls!

Gimme your big, green balls!

[laughs]

One, two, three.

Ooh! Everybody say 40-love.

Ginny Lemon, you ready to go?

Oh, God, yeah.

Oh. Now it looks like
you're making pancakes there.

[grunts] What do you want
on your pancakes, bab?

-Strawberries and cream.
-Strawberries and cream.

-Coming right up, darling.
-[laughs]

-Boof!
-Bring on the big balls!

[RuPaul laughs]

Well, hello, volley.

Asttina Mandella.

I feel like
one of the Williams sisters.

You look like
one of the Williams sisters.

-Yeah!
-Serve those balls.

Nice!

We have a dancer in our midst.

Oh, gee, just a little
tap, tap, tap here and there.

Oh, yeah, ladies and gentlemen,
Saturn Williams.

Bring on the big balls.
Here we go!

Oh!

Snatch point.

How do, Ru?

Come on, Ronnie. [laughs]

Here we go. Serve the balls.

Oh! Oh, dear!

[laughs]

I'm not used to
having balls in my face.

Yes.

Well, it depends what--
[laughs]

You're trying
to trap me right now.

Talk about sexy stuff.

Oh, I'd love to do,
like, a family photo.

Sure.

-All doing this.
-Oh, yeah.

You know, I'm the daddy.

Uh-huh.

Which one of you
wants to be mummy?

[laughs]

If you can't 40-love yourself,

how in the hell you gonna
40-love somebody else?

Hi, Sister Sister!

Well, you know,
you've got a target

painted right on your face.

In this case,
aim for her face. [laughs]

All right. Yeah, there.
There you go.

Now, the camera's
over here, Sister Sister.

Yeah, Sister Sister, yeah.

Brit Crew,
bring on the big balls.

Ooh. [laughs]

Now, that's what I call
service with a smile.

A'Whora.

-Bring back my balls.
-Ahh.

Serve. Yeah. Nice.

Think fashion, darling.

Ooh!

Oh, come--I thought you were
no stranger to the ball.

This hair was expensive.
Do you mind?

[laughs]

Oh, yeah.
Oh, catch those balls.

Deuces!

Tia Kofi, begin!

Straight up, it's gonna
fall off my head.

Oh, my goodness, those balls
are getting stuck in your hair.

-Ooh!
-I'm gonna cry.

You've got three balls
in your hair.

Yeah. Ooh, yeah.

Oh, more! Ow!

[laughs]

How strong are you both?

-Can you take this leg?
-Yeah.

You take--ooh, you find it
greasy to the touch.

That's nice, isn't it?

I see where this is going.

Advantage, Brit Crew.

Okay, put me down,
put me down.

I didn't like that sound
of struggling, thank you.

I'm not that heavy.

[laughs]

Ladies, you were all
absolutely smashing.

[cheering]

But one of you served.

[all laugh]

The winner of your
first mini-challenge is...

Lawrence Chaney.

[cheers and laughter]

I know the girls are jealous
of how beautiful I look

because none of them
could do it.

Look that bad
in a winning picture.

Now, squirrel friends,
we walk on the high heels

of those who death-dropped
before us.

2020 marked
the 50th anniversary

of the Gay Liberation Front
in the UK.

[cheers and applause]

So for this week's
maxi-challenge,

you need to serve a look

that pays tribute to your
favorite British gay icon.

Someone from the UK
who has inspired you,

be they queer or an ally,

living or resting
in perfection.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen--

Wait a minute.

Oh!
[all laugh]

Oh. Ugh.

I mean, you think I came all
this way for bangers and mash?

[all laugh]

You need to serve a second look.

A look that shows me

why you are the queen
of your hometown.

-Yeah, word.
-Okay.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win.

[cheering]

That's mine!

-Is that yours?
-Yes!

It is absolute pandemonium.

People are trying
to find a workspace,

and I want a good workspace.

I'll trample a bitch.

What's left?

I don't know
where everyone's gone!

Oh.

This feels better! [laughs]

Aah! I'm excited to see
everyone getting out of drag.

They all look quite different.

Ginny looks the same,

but everyone else
looks quite different.

We're all undressing,

and I'm, like, okay,
this is the real shit.

This is what you all look like.

Not one of them's cute.

-You're completely different.
-You're very different.

You've gone from, like,
Kylie Minogue to Jason Donovan.

Oh. Thanks.
How dare you!

My God, love,
everyone is amazing.

You are so crafty.

One of the reasons
I wanted to do this

was to push me
out of my comfort zone.

Yeah, I can see.

Before I even started drag,

I was paying
for those tickets

to see Joe's shows.

This is so surreal,
that I'm actually

in the same room,
in the same competition.

When Season 1 came out,
I just suddenly went, okay.

-Time to step it up.
-Like, yep, gotta step it up.

You know, when I was 20,
I was doing me shows and things,

probably just being
a boozy old cow,

to be honest with you.

I don't think
I would have had the focus

to be on RuPaul's Drag Race.

I think I needed
some time to calm down.

The stakes are higher.

Oh!

Sorry. Wrong door!

[all laugh]

How come you haven't taken
your makeup off yet, girl?

I don't know.

I mean, I suppose
it's a confidence thing.

Of course, like,
when we're all in drag,

we feel, like, untouchable.

And I still want to feel
untouchable, you know?

I feel so vulnerable
when I'm out of drag.

I suppose that comes down to

because I know I'm not
conventionally attractive.

But in drag,
it just changes so much.

This is kind of like a barrier.

Whenever I've been
made fun of out of drag,

I suppose it's always
been mean-spirited.

You know, and you're a weirdo.

It's a bit difficult
to take sometimes.

There is kind of a part of me

that's still that kind of
bullied schoolchild,

-if that makes sense.
-The thing is, though,

that part of you that can
take it when you're in drag,

that's still you, even when
you take the makeup off.

Yeah.

I can be as outrageous
as I want.

There are no limitations
for me in drag.

It's just a shame

that doesn't translate
over into out of drag as well.

-Ugh.
-Oh, God.

[all laugh]

It's elimination day.

Two looks!

Ru's asking for two looks.

She's pushing us now,
isn't she?

Let's do this!

-Oh, this is gonna be good.
-Let's do this!

Unh!

So today
we are walking the runway

with UK gay icon
and queen of your hometown.

I am so excited.

So you're doing
Naomi Campbell?

Yeah. You know, Miss Thing.

Tayce is doing Naomi as well.

-Tayce?
-Yes?

Who are you doing for icon?

Miss Nay-Nay.

Oh, I am, too.

Who else would you
have thought to do?

I couldn't think of anyone.

Well, here's the thing.
I really struggled

because someone
who's a person of color

and an actual gay icon,
it was a really hard struggle.

Growing up, there was no one
that I could look up to

that was Black that was
a gay icon in the UK for me.

Did you think of anyone else?

Who could be
your backup option?

I had two,
but they were both white.

Both mine were white.

I think it does make
a lot of sense

that me and Asttina
did end up doing the same,

because there is that person.

Like, there isn't really one.

There's just not enough
representation, really,

is there,
for, like, POCs.

Like, our Black culture.

And being gay as well.

Like, there's
none of that, really.

I still don't think there's
enough POC representation,

but it's growing,
it's getting better.

Do you what that means, though?

-It means you've gotta do it.
-Exactly. Well, baby.

-Baby, baby, baby, baby.
-We've got this.

This is our time.

This is our time
to pave the way

for, you know,
the young kids of color.

The next generation.

It would mean the world to me

if I could just inspire
some peeps across the way.

I'm so down.

That'd make my day.
Make my life.

I can't believe that
at the end of tonight,

somebody's going home.

-Someone's going home today.
-Don't, girl.

Who do you suspect?

Who might be going first?

-And what about Asttina?
-Do you think?

She is so behind.

Like, she's really,
like, panicking.

-Is she?
-Mm.

I just don't see it.

I'm gonna be the nice person
and say it's too close to call.

[all laugh]

And I'm gonna be the one
to say I was open.

-Yeah.
-Like my legs.

[laughs]

[RuPaul laughs]

♪ Cover girl,
put the bass in your walk ♪

♪ Head to toe,
let your whole body talk ♪

And what?

[applause]
Whoo! Yes, mama!

Welcome to the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

The UK has taken her
into their arms,

and now she won't leave.

Michelle Visage.

Into their arms?

I think you mean
between their legs.

[all laugh]

Whoo!

And national treasure
and gay icon Graham Norton.

Graham, how does it feel being
referred to as a gay icon?

I don't like it, Ru.
I prefer "gay for pay."

[all laugh]
Is 5p okay?

A tuppence.

And I am thrilled to welcome

our extra-special guest judge,
Elizabeth Hurley.

You look gorgeous.
What's your beauty secret?

Gaffer tape.

[all laugh]
Join the club.

Now, this week
we challenged our girls

to serve two great
British looks.

And now they're ready
to conquer the queendom.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win!

♪ Can you feel the love? ♪

Category is UK Gay Icons.

Up first, Meet Joe Black
as David Bowie.

Michelle:
Wiggy Stardust.

Joe: I am serving
my best David Bowie

grotesque cartoon fantasy.

Graham:
This is major, Tom.

[all laugh]

It may not be
the most traditional take,

but it is the most Joe Black
take on David Bowie.

The Queen
That Fell to Earth.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Up next,
Asttina Mandella

as Naomi Campbell.

Graham: Hi. Could you
pass me a phone?

[all laugh]

Asttina: I hope
I'm doing Naomi proud.

Black excellence,
Black power, Black magic.

Graham:
Oh, she's beautiful.

RuPaul: Isn't she gorgeous?

Absolutely beautiful.

Tayce, I hope you're watching,

because this is how you do
Naomi Campbell realness.

I kind of want to see
what's underneath.

Yes, well--

There's a penis.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Up next,
Ginny Lemon as Kate Bush.

Graham:
Oh, it's the hound of love.

Ginny: I am wearing

the most iconic
Kate Bush look ever!

Is she wearing
wuthering tights?

She is.

Kate Bush is controlling

my arms, my legs.

I am Kate Bush at this moment.

Sorry, Kate.

Kate Bush or Kate Butch?

[all laugh]

RuPaul:
Tia Kofi as Alan Turing.

Graham:
Oh, broke those codes.

[all laugh]

Tia: Alan Turing
is a trailblazing icon.

He was in prison for being gay

despite the fact
that he helped code-breaking

against the Nazis.

Basically won us the war.

That's bloody iconic.

Ooh, this code is cracking.

The fabric
is rainbow binary code

that translates
to the word "love,"

and I am breaking
all the codes.

Graham:
Oh, war's over.

Yep.
[all laugh]

RuPaul: Up next,
Bimini Bon-Boulash

as Princess Julia.

Michele:
Guys, do you wanna tell her

she's got some lint
on her shoe?

Bimini: I'm representing
a true East End legend,

Princess Julia.

She's been here
since the New Romantics era,

and she's still here today,
DJing and killing the game.

Graham: She hasn't teased
that hair, she's tortured it.

[all laugh]

She has supported gay people

even through the AIDS crisis,

all through the eighties,
all through the nineties.

I feel like she deserves
to be celebrated.

I find her quite sexy.

RuPaul:
Up next, Lawrence Chaney

as Diana Rigg.

Michelle: Does anyone
still wear a hat?

Lawrence: I'm serving
Dame Diana wig realness.

She's best known
from The Avengers.

She was a strong, powerful
woman kicking ass.

Hyah!

Michelle: Bowler?
I don't even know her!

[all laugh]

If Dame Diana
saw me in this outfit,

she'd be thinking, God,
why is that fat man

stretching out my catsuit?

RuPaul: Avenger?
I don't even know her!

[all laugh]

Up next, Cherry Valentine
as Freddie Mercury.

Another one
vacuums up the dust.

Cherry: I'm serving
Freddie Mercury

in all Break Free glory.

I've brought
my rhinestoned Hoover,

because these floors
are filthy.

Killer queen.

[laughs]

Freddie Mercury in drag,
with the moustache,

it's all the genders
mixed up into one,

and I'm living
for every inch of it.

Michelle: Yes, Queen!

[RuPaul laughs]

RuPaul: Veronica Green
is Boy George.

Graham: Oh, it's a baby Boy.
RuPaul: Yeah.

Veronica: Seeing that
Karma Chameleon video,

with a boy wearing makeup
blew my mind.

That is what an icon makes.

Do you really wanna...
hurt me?

Actually, yes.

[all laugh]

I've got my oversized
Boy George shoes,

which were actually owned
by Boy George.

I got my hands on them somehow,
and they don't fit me.

[laughs]

RuPaul: Up next, A'Whora
as Vivienne Westwood.

Graham: The eyes have it.

A'Whora: I'm trying to give you
Viviennne punk attitude.

But I'm also trying
to not slip on this skirt,

because this shit is long.

She is really tartaning it up.

[all laugh]

I'm doing Vivienne Westwood
because she says fuck gender,

and that is exactly
how I wanna be.

Graham:
Vivienne West-Wouldn't.

No.
[all laugh]

RuPaul:
Up next, Sister Sister

as Dusty Springfield.

Elizabeth: I think she's
more like Busty Springfield.

[all laugh]

Sister:
I'm walking this runway,

and I am Dusty Springfield.

And I just don't know
what to do with myself.

Michelle: Or the daughter
of a preacher man.

She'd wear no less
than three wigs

on her head at all times.

She was constantly
covered in bling.

She's just the gayest thing
you've ever seen.

Graham: Bee-hive.

RuPaul: All right, up next,
Ellie Diamond as Lily Savage.

Graham: Season 2,
Lily Savage here already?

Michelle; They said
it would never happen.

Ellie:
I'm a tall, blonde bombshell

with a dark root.

I'm strutting this runway,
and I am living for it.

Lily Savage to me
is the queer icon of her time.

My mum used to talk
about Lily Savage a lot.

So as much as I'm
representing Lily Savage,

I'm also doing it for my mum.

Graham:
That hair has bounce.

Whoo!

RuPaul: Up next, it's Tayce
as Naomi Campbell.

Graham: You're late.

Tayce: I'm serving you
vintage Naomi.

She inspires the nation.
She inspires me every day.

My hair is swishing
left to right,

I'm chucking it
all around the place.

I'm just living my truth.

This is my hair.
I don't wear wigs.

[all laugh]

Naomi Campbell
is the nineties supermodel.

You can't touch me,
you can't play with me,

you can't do
anything to me. Oh!

RuPaul: She doesn't get
out of bed for less than 10p.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Category is...

Category is
Queen Of Your Hometown.

First up, queen of Brighton,
Joe Black.

Graham:
Ooh, Brighton queer.

[all laugh]

Joe: I'm serving up a right
royal Brighton Pavilion.

It's bold, it's camp,
and it's a pleasure palace,

and I've been called a pleasure
palace or two in my time.

You know, with the pavilion
round my head,

all I'm maybe missing

is a couple of seagulls
shitting on me.

RuPaul: Wow, that must weigh
a bright ton.

[all laugh]

Up next, the queen of
East London, Asttina Mandella.

Damn, girl.

Michelle:
Where'd you get them thighs?

Asttina: The queen
of my hometown look

is serving you pure East London
Black girl magic.

I'm in the chicken shop,

just got my 2-pound-50
hot wings and chips.

Graham:
She has never eaten that.

[all laugh]

I'm taking inspiration
from the girls I grew up with:

dead loud, speak
on the speakerphone

on the back of the bus,
really rude.

It's nothing like me,

but I'm gonna friggin' serve it.

Graham: Bummer jacket.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: The queen of
Worcester, Ginny Lemon.

I hear she's back
on the bottle.

[all laugh]

Ginny:
I am paying tribute

to the very first drag king
of all: Vesta Tilley.

Born in Worcester,

but with a little dash
of Worcestershire sauce.

I'm everything right now,
kings and queens.

Oh, and I'm feeling
very saucy.

According to all sauces,
the street's the place to go.

[all laugh]

The queen of Nottingham,
Tia Kofi.

The question remains.

Tia: I've chosen this
as my hometown,

because it's where
I really found myself.

Had to camp outside.

Did I finish my degree?

Not so much,
but it was philosophy.

That's basically
just thinking.

I can do that
somewhere better.

RuPaul:
It's Maid Marian.

Hiding her Friar Tuck.

[all laugh]

I am serving you
Robin Hood realness.

And do you know what else?

I'm serving you a lot of leg.

You're welcome.

Elizabeth:
She's from the hood.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: The queen of Norwich,
Bimini Bon-Boulash.

Any hole is a goal!

[laughs]

Bimini: I'm representing
Norwich city.

Let's be 'avin' ya!

Although I do look like
I'm about to do, like,

a World Cup photo shoot for
Nuts magazine or something.

RuPaul:
I can see her canaries.

I've got no tights on,
I've got no underwear on,

and a tuck all the way up
to high heaven.

Graham:
That ball's offside.

RuPaul: Mm.
[all laugh]

The queen of Glasgow,
Lawrence Chaney.

-Glasgow!
-Wow.

-How are you saying it?
-"Gloz-go."

-"Gloz-go."
-[laughs]

Lawrence: I am serving you

one of Glasgow's
most famous designers.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh

is known for
his stained glass work,

and I've translated it
onto this fitted latex gown.

Give us a Glasgow kiss.

[Graham laughs]

Glasgow's not just famous
for not flushing the toilet

after we've had a shit.

We're also famous for turning
conceptual artistic looks.

Michelle:
She was a stained-Glaswegian.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: The queen of Darlington,
Cherry Valentine.

[whistle blows]

Michelle:
Ooh, someone's looking ashy.

Cherry: I'm walking
down the runway,

and I'm feeling this steampunk
Victorian fantasy.

And I am representing the town
of Darlington right now.

Graham:
That is a smoky eye.

RuPaul:
Yes, it is. [laughs]

One of the main places in
Darlington is the town clock,

so I'm rocking out
with my clock out.

RuPaul:
Oh, she's such a clock tease.

The queen of Lancashire,
Veronica Green.

Graham: Wow, that's the
biggest hoop I've ever seen.

-Is it, though?
-Well--

[all laugh]

Veronica:
I'm walking down the runway

in my lovely, upside-down
Lancashire rose dress.

My roots are in the north,
but now I've gone south.

You would have to be told

that that was the concept
to get it. [laughs]

Roses are red,
Michelle is a whore.

Yes! I've heard that one!

RuPaul: The queen
of Nottinghamshire, A'Whora.

-Aah!
-Nearly shot my eye out.

A'Whora:
I am giving you Robin Hood

because I'm from a small town
called Worksop,

which is right by
Sherwood Forest,

and I used to walk
my dog there all the time.

Let's get this clear.

What's so special
about my hometown? Me.

It bred this talent.

RuPaul:
Is she Friar Tucked?

I thought I could see
her Little John.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: The queen of Liverpool,
Sister Sister.

Michelle:
Aw, just roll with it.

[all laugh]

Sister: It's a commonly
accepted fact

that scouse women
leave the house

to run errands in pajamas
with their rollers in

with no shame whatsoever.

Michelle: Ooh, let me
check my flip-phone.

Oh, it's over!

He cheated.

I'm serving pink fantasy.

I've got my silk on.

I look absolutely stunning.

-She woke up like this.
-She did.

And went to bed like this.
[all laugh]

And then woke up
again like this.

The queen of Dundee,
Ellie Diamond.

Take that, Beano!

Ellie:
I chose Dennis the Menace

as my hometown look

because he was originally
created in Dundee

in 1951
by The Beano comic strip.

Michelle: Oh!

She Dundee it again.

My hair is snatched
for the gods.

I've got my little trinkets
and mm, mm, and all that.

Can anyone smell
burning rubber?

[all laugh]

RuPaul:
The queen of Newport, Tayce.

Michelle:
We've awakened the dragon.

Tayce: I'm doing it
for the Welshies, baby.

Where you at?

Let your daffodils
and leeks clack.

I am the Welsh dragon,
and I'm here to make it clear.

It's Gavin and Tayce-ty.

[Michelle laughs]

There is a lot of ostrich
going on here,

ladies and gentlemen.
I feel like

the funkiest chicken
you ever did see.

Wait. An ostrich.

Both.

Do I make you horny, baby?

[all laugh]

Welcome, ladies.

Now, when I call your name,
please step forward.

Ginny Lemon.

Tia Kofi.

Cherry Valentine.

Veronica Green.

A'Whora.

Tayce.

Ladies, you are all safe.

As we say
in jolly old America,

y'all better
step your pussies up.

You may leave the stage.

Ladies, you represent

the tops and the bottoms
of the week.

Now it's time
for the judges' critiques.

First up, Joe Black.

-Hi, Joe Black.
-Hi.

So let's go
to your gay icon look first.

It wasn't screaming Bowie to me,
I'm gonna be completely honest.

I almost wish it was something
way more commercial Bowie

so we all got it.

Tell us about
your hometown look.

So I've come
as Brighton Pavilion.

It's a lovely palace
in the center of the city,

and I've got it on my head.

I know the pavilion,
but I don't know it enough

to go,
"Oh, that's the pavilion."

So sometimes
don't overthink it.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Brighton Pavilion,
I suppose--

in my head,
it's just, you know,

it's a beautiful building,
but it's white.

So the gold to me
was confusing.

And I guess I thought
in bonnie Brighton

it would be something more fun.

Mm-hmm. [laughs]

You know, I love this costume.

I love your Elizabethan ruff.

But I always thought
that the pavilion

was more of a Regency period,

which, you know, is sort of

more heaving bosoms
and muslin dresses.

-But I thought you were great.
-Thank you.

All right, up next,
Asttina Mandella.

Hiya.

Your name is Asttina,
but you know, Americans,

we wanna call her Ass-Tina,
don't we?

-Ass-Tina. Oh, yeah.
-We certainly do.

-Ass-Tina.
-Ass-Tina.

Your gay icon look, of course,
was Naomi Campbell.

You basically were just
giving us face in that.

I was just gobsmacked
when you walked out.

I thought you looked
absolutely gorgeous,

and I thought you held
Naomi's personality

for the entire walk.

I thought what you did tonight
was so smart,

because you kind of thought,
all right,

this is show one
of a new season.

We now kind of go,
oh, interesting.

She does different things.

I can't wait to see
what you do next.

Thank you so much.

-Up next, Bimini Bon-Boulash.
-Hi, babe.

Tell us about
your hometown look.

So this is representing
Norwich city.

And when I was growing up,

I used to go
to all of these matches,

and this is how
I really wanted to dress

when I was watching it.

[all laugh]

So let's talk a minute
about your Princess Julia look.

I felt like you
undersold her a little bit.

Okay.

Get into these characters

like you did
with your hometown.

But what it is
is when you turn around,

we see all your tape exposed.

So, kids,
you have to be on top

of every single little detail.

Now that we're talking to you,
loads of personality,

but in neither look
did that come across.

Unbelievable body.

-Thank you.
-A great bum.

I said to Ru,
I find it quite sexy.

This is actually probably
my most revealing outfit.

Oh, no, don't say that.

-No!
-No!

It's not my most
revealing outfit.

[all laugh]

All right, up next,
we've got Lawrence Chaney.

Hello, Lawrence Chaney!

All right, RuPaul,
how's it hangin'?

[all laugh]

I'm glad you did something else
apart from tartan.

You came out here
and didn't put on a kilt,

which is fabulous,
but, you know, expected.

But I wanna go back
to your gay icon,

which was
the amazing Diana Rigg.

I thought it was fun,
I thought it was exciting,

I thought it was different,
but also,

let me just say
it was polished.

Thank you, Michelle.

So you will be one to watch.

I really love the fact
that you gave us

two completely
contrasting looks,

and it makes me
want to see your real act.

Because I really felt that
your personality shows through.

Diana Rigg, you performed it
and sold it,

and it was
really good fun, fun.

So you know Diana Rigg
from The Avengers.

I'm 90 years old.

Of course I know Diana Rigg
from The Avengers.

[all laugh]

I didn't wanna say it, but...

[all laugh]

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.

Up next, Sister Sister.

Hiya, chicken.

Dusty Springfield.

Dusty's a tough one, because
Dusty's kind of conservative.

But if you're gonna do it
like you know how--

-You know who Lady Bunny is?
-Yes.

That's kind of based off
Dusty Springfield.

So go big or go home.

I thought this part
of the challenge,

the hometown bit,
you seemed much happier in.

You seemed like you were
having a good time.

You know,
it was thought through.

There's lots of details in it.

But this is Drag Race,

so even though
you spangled your pajamas,

you could have gone
even further

by big, furry house slippers.

You know that. You know
what I'm talking about.

I know them.

I just love
everything about it.

And I like your shoes.

I wouldn't have wanted you

slopping along
in fluffy slippers.

Oh, I would have.

I like those shoes.

I love the satin,
I love your makeup,

I love everything about this.

I think it's adorable.

Thank you.

Up next, Ellie Diamond.

-Hi, doll.
-Hi.

Your face is so gorgeous.

Thank you, as are you.

You are painted down.

Yeah, always,
always and forever.

So this is PVC, correct?

It's a cheap plastic
from the fabric store.

I couldn't afford the good stuff
like Lawrence. I'm sorry.

[all laugh]
Did you make it?

Yeah, I make everything.

I do my hair
and all my costumes.

Well, that's unbelievable,
and you get credit for that.

-Thank you.
-Lily Savage,

it was how Lily wishes
she would have looked.

Your hair and makeup tonight,

both of them
were really, really good.

Thank you.

You have done Dundee proud.

This is such
a clever, clever outfit.

Thank you.

Take Dennis the Menace
and turn it into

this kind of vampy,
1940s pinup is genius.

I used to love Dennis the Menace
growing up,

so that was inspired
to come up with that.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck
in the werkroom,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

You may leave the stage.

Can you believe that?

Girls.

I'm absolutely tamping.
I'm fuming.

I thought I had it.

This is ridiculous.
Really?

Safe? Just safe?

Well, at least
I'm not in the bottom.

When they read out that list,

I thought this was potentially
top three and bottom three.

Nobody wants to be safe.

In the real world,
I'm not a safe player.

Who did you think were the tops

and who did you think
were the bottoms then,

if you're throwing that
out there?

I said to everyone, I said,

I thought Asttina and you
was in the bottom.

Good to know.

Really?

The only thing I'm basing it on
was entrances.

Really?
Are you having a laugh?

And I know the challenge
was the runway,

-but that's all I could--
-Wait, wait, wait.

What are you--
So you're saying

that my entrance look
was wrong?

Girl, we all said
your hair was thirsty.

Did you? You didn't
all say it to my face.

Thirsty!

Were you all having
conversations somewhere else?

Crunchy-munchy-thirsty-kursty.

No, she wasn't thirsty.

She was
a cultural frizzy moment,

and I stand by it.

Out of the other girls, though,
who would you reckon

are the tops and the bottoms
out there, then?

Asttina went out
in an ASOS jacket.

I've literally got that
in my room.

-This is true.
-I just can't forgive that.

Is it East London
she was doing?

I think she looked good.
I just think

you're all a bit
scared of her, to be honest,

'cause she's pure talent.

-Come on.
-Come here.

[all talking]

Get in here, get in here.

My feet are on fire.

Fire? I can imagine.

You've been out there
for so long.

That was a lot.

That was intense.

What the hell
has been going on?

We've been here worried sick!

They ripped me to shreds.

-Stop!
-No!

Really?

And said that
I was trying to be too clever.

-Too clever?
-What?

-Bit shocked.
-Fuck.

How do you feel about
the critiques, then?

I'm quite upset.

Looking at my fellow bottoms,

I don't feel like
I deserve to be there,

and fingers crossed
I don't have to lip sync,

because this dress
is not an easy one to move in.

They loved her.

No, they--yeah,
they really loved it.

They loved the East London.

They completely got it
straightaway.

They loved the fact

that I gave them
completely different Naomi.

She's wearing a jacket
off the Internet

while eating fried chicken.

So that bitch must have
a runway walk to die for.

So, Sister, what did
they say to you, then?

I'm just feeling so--

on so many levels
just a big load of shite.

This is a really,
really crap feeling.

I couldn't visualize me having
to lip sync this early on,

and it's crap.

It's crap.

Bimini doesn't look happy
at all.

You don't look very happy.

Like, for this look,
like, I mean,

I knew it. I didn't feel
comfortable,

because I could see the tape
at the back.

So Michelle read me for that.

I am fully tucked,

and I've got to maybe lip sync

in 10-inch shoes
with no underwear on...

on the BBC. [laughs]

Oh.

I'm just gonna give it
a bloody go.

Like, I've worked my ass off

to fucking get here, so--

-Yes.
-Yeah.

All right, now, just between
us squirrel friends,

whaddaya think?

-This is a good group of queens.
-Yes.

All right, first up, Joe Black.

The Brighton reference,

it just didn't
say Brighton to me,

and that was the challenge.

Sometimes your first idea
is maybe the best idea.

And I felt like what he
showed us was his 15th idea.

That was more Hampton Court
than Brighton Pavilion.

I don't think it matters,

but if we were looking for
accuracy, you know, it wasn't--

It's the BBC. It matters.

[all laugh]
It matters, goddamnit.

Asttina Mandella.

Yeah, Asttina
had a great night tonight.

When she was representing
East London,

I knew that girl with the hair
and poom-poom shorts.

She had everything going.

To choose that
really pared-down,

really classy look to start
was pretty brave.

In fact, when she turned
that corner, she was stunning.

The face, even with the
pared-down makeup, you know,

which is hard to do
when you are a man, you know.

Bimini Bon-Boulash.

So she came out
as Princess Julia,

who I am not
thoroughly familiar with.

So it was up to her
to kind of really sell it.

That second look,

Delia Smith
will not be that delighted

that that was representing
Norwich football club.

-I think you're very harsh.
-I liked Bimini.

We could see there really is
a lot of potential there.

There wasn't enough of
a narrative going on there

for the Princess Julia.

But the second outfit,
it did tell a story.

Oh, lots of stories.

Yeah. That was a touchy--

Including where she ate
last night.

[all laugh]

Let's move on down
to Lawrence Chaney.

-Lawrence Chaney!
-[laughs]

Speaking of narratives,

my goodness, that is how
you tell a story.

I was really impressed
with that.

I thought a huge effort
had been made with the costumes,

and I loved it.

I got happy every time
Lawrence Chaney

came out onto this runway.
That's a real gift.

I'm guessing
she has more experience

than a lot of the other girls,
and maybe is a bit older.

You know, she's a child.

-I was gonna say, a bit older.
-She's 23.

-Is she only 23?
-She's over the hill.

23. Coming out here
and making us look at her!

[all laugh]

Up next,
we've got Sister Sister.

I like Sister Sister.

I feel there's
a lot of talent there.

Sister Sister didn't have
a terrible night.

Just didn't have a great night.

Her hometown look of Liverpool
was really cute,

but I do think she could
have gone even further.

But, you know, with
the Dusty Springfield, you know,

she could have come out
with a microphone.

She could have come out
really dusty.

You know, I mean, literally.

Ah, hilarious!

Ellie Diamond.

I thought Dennis the Menace
was fantastically clever.

-And that face, my God.
-Oh, gorgeous.

So beautiful.
I mean, really stunning.

Her makeup and hair skills
are dynamic.

I can tell this already.

-And she's 21 years old.
-Mm-hmm. Wow, 21.

I've got colostomy bags
older than her.

[all laugh]

I can smell it.

Silence!
I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Lawrence Chaney, your
Diana Rigg was a-Peel-ing.

You are safe.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

Asttina Mandella,
this week, you served face

with a side of chicken,
and we ate it up.

Ooh.

Con-drag-ulations.

You're the winner
of this week's challenge.

[cheers and applause]

I have just won
the first maxi-challenge.

It feels great.

And the recipient
of a coveted RuPeter badge.

-Ooh!
-Ooh!

♪ Rule Britannia ♪

Wear it with pride.

100%.

You may join the other girls.

Ellie Diamond.

You're safe.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

Joe Black, your Ziggy
needed more stardust.

Bimini Bon-Boulash,
you're a good sport,

but this week
you didn't score.

Sister Sister,
your Dusty was...

What's the word?

Oh, yes. Dusty.

Sister Sister...

You are safe.

You may join the other girls.

Joe Black, Bimini,
I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

There's a fire lit under my ass,

and I am not going home.

Two queens stand before me.

In a moment,
I'll ask one of you to shantay,

which still means stay,

and one of you to sashay away.

I have consulted
with the judges,

but the final decision
is mine to make.

Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me

and save yourself
from elimination.

The time has come...
[thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] for your life!

Here we go.
Handbags at dawn, Bimini.

Good luck,
and don't fuck it up.
