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 place 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: Welcome, queens.

When I call your name, please step forward.

Olivia.

Utica.

Elliott.

Ladies, you are safe.

You may leave the stage.

I am so happy to be safe.

I thought, like, 100%

I was gonna be in the bottom.

And so I am just ecstatic

that I get to join the other girls in the back,

and I am just on top of the world.

I have pretty mixed emotions about being safe this week

because it's another dance challenge

that I didn't feel like I stood out in.

And that's pretty frustrating

because this is what I do.

I really thought I could win this challenge.

All cameras up.

Copy that. Here we go.

We got the queens walking.

Mark.

Oh, my God.

I'm so confused.

I'm so ready to talk about this.

This is ♪ crazy ♪

Girl, I'm so shook right now.

Do you guys not go through, like, 15 emotions.

at the exact same time when they were just calling us?

-Absolutely. -Literally.

Please, someone shed some light

on who is these tops and bottoms,

because I have no idea.

I don't either.

I thought that I was in the bottom this week.

I'm not gonna lie. I thought you were, too.

But I think you did a really, really good job.

It's just like now it's nitty gritty,

and, like, it's like every little detail.

And I feel like everyone out there really slayed.

I think the Russians killed it.

I think the Russians absolutely killed it.

I think both of them are in the top.

Tina led the whole fucking show, though.

The thing is, I feel like the em-she

was another one of those roles

that they might be looking for everything with that.

She had so much content to learn,

and I've done new musicals before.

I've done, like, original things

where you have to just, like,

fly by the seat of a random recording

of someone else singing.

I've done that before

and know how difficult it is

and I knew the em-she was going to be a role

that really, you have to know, like--

The ins, the outs, the ups and downs.

-All of it. -Everything.

And I think she really pulled it off.

I thought that Rosé killed the cascade.

Oh, she killed the fuck out of it.

So good.

Is there anybody out there that you think

you know is in the bottom?

'Cause I think I know one person

-that I'm just like... -Who?

I feel like Symone struggled this week.

She did. Like...

Oh, I'm gonna hate to see her in the bottom.

-Yeah. -Jesus.

Like, do we have to send people home?

Yes.

-We could just-- -[laughs]

-Goodbye! -Girl.

We could just give me the crown and the 100.000

and we could all stay.

Oh, is that how she really feels?

Is that how she feels?

Well, I wanna win.

[laughs]

Now, how do you feel about being safe this week?

'Cause last week, you...

I was in the bottom last week.

You were in the bottom last week and--

You were in the bottom last week.

Yeah, I had to lip sync, and it was traumatizing.

I couldn't stand it. It was whatever.

This week, I am a little frustrated

because being a dancer

I haven't really, like, won any dance challenges.

And so, it's kind of frustrating.

I know you had mentioned you were, like, the underdog

a few weeks ago.

Do you still feel like that?

I still have that, like, underlining feeling.

Like, okay, I'm, like, the red-headed stepchild.

But, like, how do you feel now?

Right now, I'm honestly in this mindset

of I'm just here to do me.

Like, I love talking to you.

I love talking to you.

I love getting to know you guys both so much.

But I'm here to compete in a competition

and showcase my best

and be the best me that I can be,

and not focus on, like, oh, who's hanging out with who?

Who's creating cliques?

Like, that was kind of a thing that--

I mean, it's that little kid in me.

After opening up to Tina

about what I've been going through

and what I've been feeling,

I realized I need to just, like,

stop trying so hard.

Like, I need to just do me

and realize who I am.

For me, it's not really cliques within the group.

It's mostly the group and then me.

I feel as though

I've been really retracting from the rest of the group.

-Really? -Yeah, absolutely.

Oh.

But I feel like I'm struggling

in the group setting.

I feel the same way.

I've made it known that my door is open.

Just in general. You, too, Utica.

You already know. You already know.

Utica's taking me out on a date after this.

I don't know if you don't-- you know this--

I would love to take you out on a date.

You've said we're on a date right now in the van

and then you were, like, I don't think--

She was, like, where do you really wanna go?

And you were, like, I don't think

there's gonna be a second date.

[all laugh]

So cliques-wise,

we have the Bald Head Brigade.

-[laughs] -Kandy Muse, Miss Symone,

and LaLa Ri. Yes.

We have the Winning Circle.

And then you called yourselves, what, Team B?

The Porkchop Girls.

-Team B. -I called them B Squad.

-[laughs] -B Squad.

Once Mik referred to herself, Tina, and Kandy

as the Mean Girls.

-Hands in the middle. -All right.

Mean Girls on three. One, two, three.

-Mean Girls. -Mean Girls.

You had a few nicknames.

Do I really?

Had. Past tense.

Oh, everybody called me the mole.

-The mole. -The mole.

Elliott the spy.

Elliott the spy. I love Elliott the spy.

[laughs]

I've been called the Sweden.

The Sweden?

The Sweden.

The country that's neutral with everybody.

That's Switzerland, bitch.

Switzerland! Shit!

-You know what? -[laughs]

Girl, no one else calls you that.

Like, no one else would think of something like this

except Miss Utica.

Now that we're in Untucked--

You know what? I'm not gonna get up.

I was gonna show my reveal of the outfit,

because this turns into something else.

Is that a reveal?

Yes, child.

Girl, you ain't got no one else

up in this room, bitch.

You better reveal, honey.

I was ready to do so.

If I was in the lip sync,

I was ready to do so.

I said what I said.

Little girl. Little girl.

Oh, my gosh.

Here we go. Here we go.

So we know it's like a gown, right?

What you do, you undo that first,

and then you just, like,

it's a cute, like, little gown moment.

But then it goes...

[screams and laughter]

Just like a moment.

-Whoo! -Y'all are crazy.

You better werk, bitch.

Oh, she's putting it back on. Okay.

It's a full moment that I'm super proud of,

but I'm also super happy

that I did not have to reveal her.

Well, thank you, ladies.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck in the werkroom,

the judges and I will deliberate.

[gasps] Oh, my God.

Aah!

Yellow, yellow, yellow.

Wait. Sit down. Grab a drink.

I need to know what is going on.

Y'all please talk to us.

Wait. Please sit down.

Okay. Tina, how do you feel?

I mean, I'm in the bottom, so--

-Are you kidding? -What?

Are you fucking kidding?

They said I stopped lip syncing at some point.

They said they didn't understand my choice at the end

when I was dying.

It was the way you died.

Not that she died.

They said, like, I wasn't singing at the end.

It was a big role.

There was a lot going on and I wasn't--

I wasn't afraid to take it on.

So us three are definitely in the bottom.

-Oh, for sure. -Yeah.

That's so shitty.

Baby, we got clocked.

I'm pissed. I'm pissed the fuck off.

I went off on that stage,

and I gave it my all,

saying I had a good old fucking time.

And I walked off of that stage like, damn, bitch,

I did that.

The fact that they couldn't see my face?

-Sorry about it. -Oh, my God.

What did they say about you?

Well, for me it was they could see

that I was in my head the entire time.

Like, they saw me go into myself,

and then they saw it onstage when I was performing.

So...

I'm really gagged.

Okay, continue.

Russians, how do y'all feel?

-Great. They loved us. -Werk.

They really loved how we worked together.

They loved the accents.

They were afraid that one would, like, outshine the other,

and that we didn't.

That we both came on with really good energy

and that it, like, came at a really fun time

in the whole piece together.

It just kind of lit it up.

And, like, I just had a blast with it.

Yeah, I don't know what it was, but I just felt this, bitch.

I was, like, this is my shit.

To be Russian? Then that's that.

Yeah.

Rosé, how do you feel?

I am in the top.

There's a chance that I'll win this.

She's gonna win this.

They were really enamored

with what I did in the performance

and with the character.

I wish that this was a brighter shade of yellow,

because Michelle immediately clocked

and was, like, I love the look.

I just, you know, I wish it was, you know, yellow.

I just hope it doesn't, like, take away,

because I really wanted to come to this challenge

and, like, slay it.

-You did, babe. -And I feel great about it.

They loved it.

I hope my runway doesn't hold me back

from my first win.

But I'm grateful for what they said to me.

Now, who do y'all think

is gonna be lip syncing?

I think it could be me and Symone.

It could be Tina and Symone. It could be me and Tina.

I honestly have no idea.

I just cannot believe it's you guys.

I'm truly gagged,

because when we went into recording with Michelle,

it went lovely.

I had a great time.

When we went into rehearsal with Jamal,

it was amazing.

Trying to stay on your toes

and adapt to whatever can happen

is, like, one of the most important things

in this competition.

It's frustrating and it's so exhausting,

but it's Drag Race.

[clears throat]

Listen, whatever happens out there,

we had a lovely Rusical.

Did we not have so much fucking fun this week?

So much fun.

And I'm not saying my goodbyes just yet

because I'm going no-motherfucking-where.

There's no goodbyes. Like, stop that.

No, but I'm gonna go grab my iPod

and listen to the song.

Yeah.

Hopefully I don't have to, you know, lip sync,

but you never know.

I'm gonna grab my iPod real quick.

My little furry bag.

This is not a fun feeling, kids.

Whoever's been here, I get it.

It's not fucking fun.

Girl, I do not wanna lip sync.

I don't wanna lip sync again.

I don't wanna lip sync again.

This cannot happen.

I think this has to be a joke.

Oh!

Well, it's happening, so buckle up, buttercup.

I wish I could have given you that role,

but I couldn't.

Oh, no.

-I just... -Um...

No, I just, like...

because you're-- coming out of this.

you're gonna be one of my closest friends.

Uh-huh.

But at some point, we do have to compete.

Oh, I know.

As soon as Denali and I met,

we had an instant connection,

and it has only grown from that point.

And also, Denali is snatched out of drag.

Denali is so fucking cute.

Our personalities are like ooh...

Skill-set-wise, we can do a lot of the same shit.

Mm-hmm. Absolutely.

And we carry a similar vibe.

But I will say

you drug me through the dirt in that audition,

and I humbly am so happy

that I gave you that role.

Oh, she gave it to me.

Uh-huh. I just handed it over to you.

Oh, she served it to me.

Okay. Free of charge.

Because you absolutely killed it,

and I'm so proud of you and...

After it was over, I was, like, duh.

-This makes perfect sense. -Oh, thanks, baby.

All three of us failed.

No.

We're in the fucking bottom.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, no.

Girl, I am literally shocked right now.

Those are my bitches of literal life.

Symone's my L.A. bitch.

Tina and Kandy, those are my Mean Girls.

So one of my closest friends in the competition

is about to go home,

and I am gonna have an aneurysm.

I can't handle it.

For the most part, we've all been strong,

so for, like, all three of us to land in the bottom is, like fucking wild.

That is what I'm saying.

But it wasn't, like,

oh, none of them deserved to be in the top.

because all three of them did really fucking well.

All three of you guys did really fucking well.

So it's not like I'm mad at anything.

Listen, I'm here to be at the finale.

-Same. -To go all the way

and show the world what I am and who I am.

It's frustrating, because, like,

it does sounds like a disappointment thing,

like when you hear them say, like,

it feels like the bar's been lowered

and it just fucking sucks.

It's annoying. I hate it.

When it comes to drag I don't like imperfection.

I just don't.

It's the one thing, like, I'm good at,

and I want it to go good all the time.

And that's on me, but, like,

I'm not gonna go in this lip sync defeated.

Like, it's what I do. It's what I enjoy to do.

So you just gotta do it, mama.

No, whatever order it is,

this lip sync's gonna be fucked.

-Yeah. -Girl.

As your sister, I don't want you to think of your...

It's not a failure this week.

Another person's success is not your failure.

That's true.

I don't wanna go home.

I don't wanna go home.

I don't think any of us wanna go home.

I can't believe we're here right now.

After four weeks of no critiques--

You have been safe.

I know.

I've broken the safe streak.

I'm in the top, and if it's a win for me,

I will burst into tears.

But I really do think it's yours to--

Likewise. I don't know. Listen, I really want it,

but, like, you never know.

-Wait. Bitch, look at this. -What?

Literally, look at all this orange.

-You're the same color. -I am clearly yellow.

-Can we get this? -I don't know.

-You're the same color. -I'm gonna just lay out.

Look at all this--

the two different shades of orange.

and I'm clearly the yellow option, okay?

I'm colorblind, so don't ask me, okay?

Slightly. Only red/green.

Christmas is a difficult time for me, okay?

That is just so interesting.

I'm gonna go get another cocktail. [laughs]

Whatever happens, I'm gonna cry.

You know, whoever is going home tonight,

it is what it is.

We have had the most amazing season.

We have.

And y'all are fucking incredible.

And I ain't tryin' to cry on the fucking runway,

but I'll cry every day if I keep fucking up.

But, listen, if we gotta go up against somebody,

Y'all better give it your all now.

All, bitch.

If you gotta terminate my ass,

you better terminate my ass.

I want a lip sync, bitch.

I'm not gonna be able to watch.

-I'm not either. -Oh, God.

I'm looking at the bottom right now,

and it's two of my friends.

and I don't want to have to lip sync against them.

That is scary and terrifying.

-You know what's so crazy? -What's so crazy?

This is the first week

that there are three from the winners circle in the bottom.

-Ohh! -Can I just say that?

We walked into this bitch together.

One of us is going home tonight.

But one of us has to win this fucking competition.

-Yeah. -All right?

Yeah, one of us is gonna win this, bitch.

I love you all so much.

I love you guys, too.

I can't even breathe when LaLa had to go home.

-What'd she say? -Whoo! Five minutes, baby.

Five minutes? Oh.

I'm listening to my lip sync song right now,

and all I can think is, like,

I'm really gonna have to go up there

and do this against one of my girls.

But I don't wanna go home.

It's me or them,

and unfortunately I came to this competition to win.

The fact that I could be lip syncing tonight

is terrifying to me.

I'm possibly going home.

I don't wanna be that girl,

and I don't like that possibility,

and that's not what I came here to do,

so I'm fucking scared.

-All right. -Thank you.

Yes!

RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.

Symone. Kandy.

The time has come...

for you to lip sync...

for your life!

I've made my decision.

Symone, shantay you stay.

Kandy Muse,

keep showing them who's boss.

Now sashay away.

[applause]

Kandy, Kandy, wait.

I'm not ready for you to go.

You are safe to slay another day.

[cheering]

20 seconds ago, I thought I was going home,

and now I'm not going anywhere.

I don't know how to wrap my head around it.

I don't know what to think.

I don't know what to do.

I thought I was leaving.

I'm just like-- I'm still speechless.

Symone: So Ru tells us that we can both stay,

and I am so happy about that

because I did not wanna be the girl

that sends home Kandy Muse.

And more than that, I love myself,

so I wanna be here.

So great day, great night.

Couldn't be happier.

Oh.

Ahh!

-Bitch. -Girl.

Honey darling.

-A double shantay. -Honey darling.

A double shantay.

And it was us, the Bald Headed Brigade.

Once she said your name and you stayed,

I was like, you know what?

If I'm gonna lose to anyone,

at least I'm losing to someone I love and adore

and is my sister.

I did what I did on the stage, and...

I was hearing the crowd. You were turning it.

And I saw you at one point,

I was like, bitch, she is on the ground.

Girl, mopping the floor. [both laugh]

I truly broke down on that stage

because you see it happen to other girls on other seasons,

and you never expect, like,

a double shantay to happen to you.

To you? Yeah, it's nuts.

I can't walk in here and be expecting that.

I assume I was going home,

and I'm so gagged.

I'm definitely taking it as

get your shit together, honey.

Yeah, she's not playing.

The critique of you didn't do bad.

You just didn't shine, bitch.

I was, like, oh, God.

But that does also show

how the competition is so fucking stiff

that it's, like, anyone's game.

And, like, any little detail can--

-Knock your ass. -You're out of here.

We were both in the top last week, and then--

-We were. -Yeah, yeah.

And our asses were catapulted to the fucking bottom, like--

Now there's still nine of us here.

Somebody needs to go home. [laughs]

-We cannot fall again. -No.

We need to bring it from this point forward.

-Tea. -But with that being said,

I'm ready to spill the tea with the girls.

Let's go see what the tea is.

-Girl, what a fucking day. -Day.

Oh, my God.
