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 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: Symone.

Tina Burner.

Kandy Muse.

You are safe.

Thank you, ladies. You may leave the stage.

[laughs]

Aah! Bitch, I am safe.

I feel so good.

Baby, I came, I did Snatch Game well,

and I live to fight another week, bitch.

I have never been happier in this competition

than being safe after Snatch Game.

Snatch Game is the hardest challenge

of this motherfucking competition.

Do you always wanna be in the top or win?

1.000%.

But a safe in Snatch Game is a win to me.graphic

Get all cameras up.

And here we go.

-Oh, yeah. -Oh, my God.

Aah! [laughs]

I'm a horse, henny.

It has never felt better to feel safe.

Ooh, I'm gonna take this off for a momo.

Yeah, I gotta get comfy.

Aah! [laughs]

I'm gonna cross my legs like that.

Do I look like a woman now?

Oh.

Aah!

Listen, fully the bottom three are in the safe zone right now.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

We were the bottom three last week.

-And we're in the safe zone. -The bottom three.

So listen, this is great, though.

-It is a climb. -Yes.

Because we came from the bottom.

Now we're in the middle, and where can we go from there?

We can go to the top.

I knew going into Snatch Game

it's one of the hardest challenges

in Drag Race history.

I agree.

You know, it's like you're lucky if you make it by.

And I was like, I'm gonna go on there and do the best I can.

And, bitch, now we're safe.

And, bitch, here you go.

I am not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed,

just simply because I did hope I was gonna be in the top.

I did.

I did think you were gonna be in the top.

But I'm happy to be here still to slay another day.

What's more important

is the message you spread on that runway.

Thank you.

So to even, like, be able to step on that stage

and put that message out there with the platform that we have,

I mean, is so amazing of you, and I commend you for that.

For me, that's a win already.

Yeah.

Now, listen, I do comedy, okay?

I have a national comedy crown on my head, okay?

Well, you have a natural comedy face.

Right. Looking at me, you laugh.

But what I'm saying is,

like, doing comedy on stage in New York in front of people

is so much different, because you're, like, hosting the show.

And you're, like, this person, this person, this person.

When you're sitting there

and have to, like, think about that character

and then be that character

and then try to land those jokes,

it's just, like, I thought to myself,

like, uh-oh, what if this is not funny?

Like, Ru finds things very funny.

Like, certain things, you know what I mean?

I gotta find out what those things are!

Mm-hmm.

So do we think for the top is Denali, Mik, and Rosé?

Yeah.

I think Rosé's character, to me, was just so outrageous,

that half the time you couldn't even understand

what the fuck she was saying.

And she handled it really well.

But I didn't even care, because it was just funny.

She took a dead fucking queen and made it funny.

I wrote he got canceled for being a greedy bastard.

One point for the team, right? Oh.

[all laugh]

Also, though, Denali, I think, had her impersonation down.

But I do have a thing for the kind of beards

that say hold me in your arms until all the pain goes away,

but also power drills are on aisle seven, henny, yes.

[laughs]

But, like, honestly, we have to remember, too,

let's take into consideration

their looks on the runway tonight as well.

I mean, I'm sure the looks will play into it,

but Snatch Game is the main one.

And the people I see going in the bottom today

are definitely Utica, Olivia, and Elliott.

I think Olivia's in the bottom.

I do think she's in the bottom.

I've recently gotten into ASMR.

ASMR stands for what?

Um, as much as--

as you can be not loud.

Okay. All right.

I was sitting next to Olivia,

and I could just tell when Ru was throwing things at her,

she was thinking and thinking and thinking,

and it just wasn't coming to her.

I honestly, like, I couldn't tell you definitely

who's in the top and the bottom.

The only one I could say

is probably definitely in the bottom would be Utica.

Nothing came together and nothing landed.

It really reminded me of my favorite color.

Okay.

Honestly, I think she's, like, you fall into this thing

where you go into being silly, dah, dah, dah,

and it's a deflection, it's a defense for her.

And I see it.

So earlier, when we were painting for the runway,

Olivia was off to the corner.

And next to me, Utica and Denali

were talking about Snatch Game characters.

And Utica said that Olivia might be in the bottom.

Olivia overheard it.

But the gag is that Utica told Olivia

she was good in the Snatch Game.

So Olivia was, like, um, I hear you--

one, I hear you talking about me, girl.

Oh, yeah, she snapped right around.

She goes, "Excuse me?"

Olivia could be in trouble.

I hear y'all.

What happened, Olivia?

It sounded like certain things that weren't said earlier.

Ooh!

See, I told y'all, Olivia.

She was ready to snap on the girl.

She will snap on that ass.

She's got that miracle earring,

and she gonna snap around on you.

I love it.

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

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I will deliberate.graphic

Yoo-hoo!

Oh, God, here she is.

Nancy Scarigan.

-It's that time. -How you feel?

This is how I feel.

Hi!

Hi, baby!

Ooh!

So, girls, what is the tea?

What happened outside?

Well, what do you guys think is the tea?

I think that you--

I think you two are definitely in the top.

I think Utica might be in trouble,

Olivia might be in trouble.

So they loved my look,

so that I was happy about.

The Snatch Game Tabitha moment,

I stumbled in areas where I usually don't stumble,

and then because of that,

it kind of just spiraled down for me

and I missed the mark.

I thought I did Tabitha Brown justice.

But everything the judges said was completely true

and I understood 100%.

If I have to lip sync tonight,

I am ready to fight if I have to.

And I'm fighting for the experience

-to be here with y'all. -Werk.

I'm fighting to learn and grow from y'all.

It's also making me realize how much I appreciate you guys.

Baby.

And this has been, like, a really great experience.

And it's not over for you, bitch.

Yeah, suck up those tears, mama.

Bring out that diva that we see.

I love you.

So, Elliott, what about you?

What are your critiques and stuff?

They really liked my look.

They got that it was, like, a flamingo.

They just said I wasn't Southern enough.

They wanted it to be, like, more obnoxious.

Well, I said Miss Winnie the Pooh was canceled

for enjoying the company of a gentleman friend.

I love gentlemen.

You know, when you pick these, like, queer, like, icons,

these characters that we all love so much

and we know everything about,

you either, like, nail it on the head

or you dance around it a little bit.

And I think they just thought it could have been stronger.

I knew how iconic of a character it was,

and so I knew that was super risky,

but I didn't wanna play it safe.

Like, I wanted to try. I really did.

And so if it comes down to it, I'm gonna put on a show.

That's what I do.

Enter-taint-ers.

[chuckles]

♪ So they loved the way I look ♪

♪ They think I looked so great, whoo ♪

I made a lot of choices,

and I don't think that they were all the right choices.

Like, a lot of my things didn't land.

I was having a great time,

but it just, like, it didn't read.

So do you feel like you'll be in the bottom?

Oh, yeah.

Gottmik was the only one to get clear 10s across the board,

including look and performance.

You might be the winner of this challenge.

I really think so.

They literally were, like, you embodied her.

You literally knew every angle to look like her.

-You made it funny. -You did fucking look like her.

Just let me know when the cameras are rolling,

and we'll kill it.

The cameras are rolling.

That's so embarrassing. Sorry.

You're so hot.

It was just really good.

It was so good.

Olivia, how do you feel now after--

I know earlier you were a little heated.

Look, okay, so it was discouraging today

to hear my name brought up without my knowledge.

That, to me, is something that I just don't do.

So, you know, I was asked.

We were talking, and I did ask

who do you think could possibly be in trouble this week.

Yeah, and I expressed my opinion.

Like, yeah, and--

And everyone is entitled to their opinion.

That's not what I'm trying to say.

The things that were said today to Denali

were not said to me after Snatch Game,

and that's where I am disappointed.

Damn.

I think Olivia's just trying to say, like,

why did you say one thing to my face,

and then say something behind?

I didn't mean to cause any, um, rift.

And I was just expl--well, yeah.

So I'm really-- I'm frightened about conflict.

Something that has been brought up,

you just being on camera a type of way,

and then off camera a type of way.

I really, really love Utica,

but there's, like, a shady little moment within her

that she has started to let out

when either the cameras disappear for a second

or when it doesn't count.

On camera, you're this sweet little innocent thing,

and then, like, the camera goes off and you're like, bitch.

Like, here are the real reads.

There was one point that really got me,

when we were having dinner

and Utica decided to open up her binder

and list out ideas she had

but didn't use for the reading challenge.

So she's literally, like, sitting there,

like, insulting people

while we're, like, exhausted eating dinner.

You know I love you, but when I realized

that you, like, took out your alternate reads at dinner,

I felt like you were just reciting insults.

Like, and it wasn't called for.

I'm sorry.

I--I really like you guys a lot,

and I wanna be as connected with you guys as I can.

And I, like--I don't--

I really wanna be on everyone's good graces, you know?

And sometimes I let those little zingers out

because it's like, oh, I found the opportunity, ptoo!

They feel as though I'm different on and off camera.

I feel as though I'm really trying hard

to mesh with the other girls,

and I want to put my best foot forward when I'm on camera.

I'm taking more risks off camera

so I can, like, test the waters.

But they're seeing it as shady

and, ugh, it's like this inner turmoil that I'm dealing with.

Like, who do I be?

At the end of the day, just be you,

and don't apologize for it.

I think the problem is you're sitting here

and you're trying to give us what you think we need

or Little Miss Nice all the time

or worried that you're gonna piss somebody off.

Hell, I piss everybody off every other day.

-You're messy. -Yeah.

[cheering]

Now, y'all know I would come over there, honey,

but we dealing with the COVID-19.

OMG, Miss Ts Madison

is all up in our Untucked, and I live for her.

Ladies.

-Hi! -Hi!

I am so, so proud of each and every one of you

here in this room,

because it takes guts to get up and bare your life

to a whole bunch of people

who are gonna have a whole bunch of stuff to say about you.

You know, when they have no idea

how much courage it takes to get up there

and be critiqued by people

when you've given it the best that you got.

Now, I know that the Snatch Game

was very challenging.

-The most. -Very.

-Queen! -My love.

You are beautiful.

Thank you. That means so much coming from you,

you have no idea.

It was your Tabitha for me.

I was so mad at you.

I was mad at myself.

Y'all know the Snatch Game is the game on this show.

Y'all can't come to this season playing around with the games

that you know that people are going to be very...

sitting in front of the TV,

now, girl, who she gonna play, who she gonna play?

-Right. -Yeah, definitely.

I think Elliott With 2 Ts,

you are a well-put-together queen.

Thank you.

You look good on the runway,

and, you know, I like this.

Thank you.

Gottmik.

-My angel. -Listen, baby,

I wanna say to you from one trans to another,

I am so proud of you for being here.

And I am so happy that you are showing people

that drag is not an identity, it's an art form.

-Yes. -Period.

That's it.

Ladies, I wanna leave this with you.

You guys have put your lives on the line.

This is $100.000, girl, honey.

And even if you don't make the $100.000,

make that motherfucker when you leave.

[cheering]

Bye, y'all. Good luck!

Oh, she's so cute.

Oh, my God!

It was amazing to hear Ts say to me

that I am a very polished, well-put-together queen.

I am fueled up.

My goal is to prove myself until the finish line,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

Now, before the girls go get their iPods,

because I know you guys have to go rehearse or whatever,

just know that, like, we have done so much

in this season so far than anyone has ever done.

We have done too much in this season.

It's crazy, right?

So if you leave today, leave with your head held high

and be proud of what you've done.

Thank you, Pastor Muse.

Ladies, five minutes we head to main stage.

Oh, God.

There could be a chance that I am in the bottom two,

so nothing is gonna stop me from putting on a damn show.

I'm not done here.

I do not wanna go home! I don't wanna go home.

I feel like I have so much more work to prove,

so I'm gonna fight.

All right, ladies.

Time for the main stage. Follow me.

-What? -Literally one second.

Whoo!

Kandy, hold up!

Everyone's gone. Let's go!

"Ladies, I've made some decisions."graphic

RuPaul: Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Utica, Elliott With 2 Ts.

The time has come for you to lip sync

for your life!

Utica, shantay you stay.

Elliott, I now know what the extra T is for.

Tenacity.

Now sashay away.

I'm bummed to be going home,

but I still feel so accomplished.

I was the girl sent home first,

so to come back and be able to thrive is incredible,

and I'm so happy that I got the opportunity to do that.

Oh.

"Elliott, thank you for taking the time to open up to me.

"You are a sweetheart, and be proud of what you did here.

Much love and of course shade, Tina."

[laughs]

Tina. Love you, Dad.

"Miss 2 Ts, keep showing

"that underestimating you is an unfortunate mistake.

Love, Symone." Oh.

It's really sweet to get messages from the girls,

'cause I have felt kind of isolated.

I think I tried too hard to become friends with people,

and that's something I have never recognized that I do,

like, until actually coming here.

I'm very happy for that now that I'm aware of that.

You have to just be yourself,

and I've kind of always struggled with that.

Having this experience has literally been something

that so many thought would never happen for me.

I have been put down

and talked about and just degraded

ever since the very first time I put a wig on

when I was 15 years old.

And so this competition and being a part of it

is the most validating thing, because it makes me feel worthy.

It's the most incredible experience,

most incredible feeling ever to finally feel seen.

Unh. So I think that is it.

Pblblblblt. Okay, it's been real.

I want a Crunchwrap Supreme and maybe a cocktail.

It sucks that I don't get to go all the way to the top,

but I am on the top, because I was here, period.

Unh!

I'm really proud of what I did, and it's just the beginning.

Whenever you see flamingos, think of me.

[laughs] Mwah.

Yes, it's time to flamin-go!
