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: 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.

After my critiques from the judges,

I'm a little confused.

It sounded like I did the challenge.

Did you sell a brand?

Do we know what your soft drink does?

Check, check, check.

I had checks, honey.

My commercial compared to all the other girls

was the worst.

It was. It was terrible.

I'm not gonna be surprised if I'm in the bottom.

-All cameras up. -Copy that. Here we go.

We got the queens walking.

Ooh, child.

Oh, my God.

-Baby. -Meow.

Gimme some of that juice, yes.

I have to sit down.

I don't know if I can sit in this chair.

Oh!

Yes, Olivia.

They said untuck, I said untuck!

-Werk, Olivia! -Duh!

First things first. I gotta ask Symone,

how are you feeling in that fucking costume?

Well, baby, let me tell you something.

I feel like I'm at the core of the Earth right now,

I'm so fucking hot.

-Not the core. -[laughs]

I fully was doing this, and I was like,

"You're gonna be sweating,

and you're gonna feel so rotted in this, like, underneath."

And I was like, "No, it's fine, it's fine."

And now I'm like, "You dumb bitch.

What were you thinking?"

Well, you dumb bitch, how does it actually feel

to get, fuck, that kind of amazing criticism on the runway?

I mean, could she literally say anything better?

Nothing better, nothing better.

-I was, like, werk, bitch. -Yeah.

To hear those critiques, though,

like, that's what everyone aspires to do

and hear when you come here.

So it's just, like, I'm living my fucking dream, y'all.

I'm living my dream and I'm doing it

and people are loving it.

The judges are loving it, and I just can't be happier.

I don't know what to do.

I can't scream, I can't do nothing in this suit.

But I just feel good. I feel so fucking good.

How does everyone feel about their critiques?

We might as well go down the line.

Yeah, how are the girls feeling?

You know, I wasn't sure how I did in commercial,

and I personally was very pleased

with what I saw up there on the main stage in my commercial.

I thought it was so funny.

-It was really funny. -Yeah, I loved it,

and the judges really loved it.

And then my runway look is so stupid and out of the box,

because it was like, okay, we don't really get it,

but werk, bitch.

So I think it was a really good night for Kandy Muse,

and I definitely feel like I'm in the top this week.

The funny thing is, with me and Symone in the top,

we're always in the top together,

and then someone's like, hi, bye, bitch.

[all laugh]

Miss Olivia?

Overall, I knew it was gonna be a risk going into it,

and it may not have been the best storyline for a commercial.

Your worst critique today

was that you look like you're always happy and smiling.

Excuse the fuck me?

I mean, if that's the worst critique you get,

diva, you better werk.

Only thing you needed to do is not smile during the take.

Which is so hard for me to do.

And she's smiling right now.

She's like, "It's so hard for me to do."

Yeah, hard for me to do.

Girl, if my teeth were like that,

I would smile all the time, too, baby.

[laughs]

Okay, so I had the worst commercial,

and I'm owning it.

After the critiques, I was, like, fuming,

because I was, like, ugh, Utica, you could do better.

Do you even know yourself?

Like, I thought I was having a lot of fun,

and just, like, doing my thing.

But then as the commercial aired,

I was, like, oh, this is really bad. Ooh!

What'd you guys think?

I agree. It was terrible. [laughs]

I'm watching you in that commercial,

and I'm laughing and I'm seeing Utica.

But I'm thinking of it being an actual ad on TV

and being, like, what is this girl doing?

-Yeah. -You know what I mean?

Just, like, the whole licking the can thing,

I was, like, werk, bitch.

That's so you. You're so fucking weird.

But it didn't serve much of a purpose to sell the product

or to tell me anything about who you are.

And I also think it's, like, we know who you are,

we see you, we hang out with you more.

The judges don't see this.

So what you're presenting to them

is much like if they were seeing it on TV.

Yeah, I totally missed the mark with it.

But you had fun.

You know, I did have a really good time.

It was fun.

Rosé?

I feel great.

This was actually--

I don't think I'm gonna win this,

because I think you're gonna win this.

But I think if for some reason you just poofed and disappeared,

maybe I could win this, because--

What are you trying to say, bitch?

I'm saying that you were--

I'm saying that I'm not getting those critiques, mama,

and I'm quite jealous,

because that was lovely, gal. Good for you.

No, I'm not quite at that point yet,

but I think something that I have dealt with

being here from the very, very beginning,

like, I really need to loosen up.

And filming the commercial, it was actually really easy.

I was prepared and I didn't get stressed out,

so I wonder--I hope it's good.

It was nice to see you calmer

and still, like, nail the challenge.

And also poking fun of yourself. That was nice. That was great.

Well, I love doing that.

[all laugh]

Miss Tina.

I'd love some of your insight,

because I'm just a little confused at my critiques

a little bit.

What are you confused at?

Like, it basically was, like,

you're just consistent, you always do a good job.

They did say you do a good job.

You got it, you branded it, and you checked the boxes.

But I think that if you look at every challenge,

like, in the past, that's had, like, Tina acting in it,

it's always very, like, Mommie Dearest.

Like, very, like, that, like, housewife--

I hear what you're saying, but, no.

I've done a housewife once, so I was confused at that.

Sure, but I think they meant just kind of the character,

and it's part of what I think who Tina Burner is.

Your brand.

-Sure. -Right.

I mean, you wanted our insight, we're trying to give it to you.

No, no, no, I'm not being nasty about it.

I know you're not,

but, I mean, we're trying to, like, help you, so--

I'm listening, Rosé.

I'm not snapping back at you.

Um... ♪ That's what you just did ♪

-That was a good jingle, Rosé. -Thank you.

Tina, I think what they were saying, though,

is that they're not seeing you differ from, like, one thing,

and what that one thing is

I believe to be very, very branded.

But I think when there's room for exploration,

you're not taking the opportunity to explore.

That was exactly it,

because I get where you're coming from, Tina.

Where, like, you're saying, oh, it's a branding challenge,

and you get this from me

and you think of a housewife with me.

That's what I'm giving you.

Like, but I really liked when Michelle mentioned,

like, Madonna and all these really great icons in our lives,

like, the unexpected, but still very much so a brand.

It's kind of shitty when you've been doing it for a while

and it just is, like, it's expected.

I mean, I obviously wanna surprise people.

I hope I'm here to, like, do the next challenge

and show that, like, I'm listening,

and I'm taking your critiques, and I'm doing that.

Show of hands.

Who thinks that they'll be lip syncing,

or at least in the bottom for this challenge?

Oh, yeah.

Gottmik, my angel, you've never been in the bottom.

-No. -Oh, yeah, how does this feel?

You must feel some sort of way.

Feels different.

[all laugh] Welcome to the club, baby.

Yeah, no, I like what I did,

and I thought it was funny.

I just missed the mark with organization.

I needed to get my point across clearer, faster, all of that.

But in this competition, I think I have fucking grown so much.

Absolutely, baby.

Like, it's actually shocking, like, I even see it.

Like, I have so much left to fight for and stand up for,

for my community and for this fucking competition.

And I'm not going home, that's all I know.

It's, like--

I don't know a lot of things,

but what I know is I'm not going home.

[laughs]

To me, you're definitely

one of my frontrunners in this competition.

You're definitely, like, someone

who's a fierce fucking competition.

-Fierce. Fierce. -Thanks. Thank you.

I think for me, it's definitely--

because we still got some ways to go.

We don't know.

But I think it's definitely Gottmik, of course.

I think Rosé for sure.

And I think--I mean, even though you haven't won anything,

I still think you're fierce competition.

-I just do. -Thank you.

I think Kandy is huge competition.

Oh, thank you.

I love how, like, real and straight up you are,

and that is so inspiring to me,

because sometimes I feel like I edit myself,

and you've definitely already taught me,

no, say how you feel.

You know, keep it real.

Say what you mean, mean what you say.

I see how it fuels your drag, too,

and how, like, strong and fierce of a competitor you are.

It's just--you're just this ferocious person,

and I live, I really do.

-Rawr. -Werk.

I think just from what I'm hearing from the judges,

the judges are, like, really into this growing.

Like, they've really talked about, Symone,

how you've grown so much.

And I see it for you so hard, like, knowing you before this.

It's, like, oh, my God,

that's fucking Symone up there doing that?

Like, you just have shined so much beyond.

I am happy that you're here

and we have gotten to experience each other.

So thank you for that. Just my little thing.

Tina, who are some of your competitors in this competition?

I mean, obviously there is the obvious choices.

Rosé has a lot under her belt, you know,

and Symone, and, like, you know, Mik.

This is the second time the other girls have said

that they don't really see me as competition,

and that's so frustrating.

I'm gonna send home the biggest competition

because I wanna win.

So Tina Burner, goodbye.

I'm afraid of Mik and her fierce fashion.

Tina, who would you send home?

I mean, I'd have to send home Mik.

-Thank you. -Symone?

Yeah, I would definitely send--it would be Tinta.

You are a threat for sure.

I've realized that a lot of you

don't think of me as the biggest threat

or a threat at all.

Like, can we talk about the fact

that this girl's won two consecutive challenges?

So I don't wanna be overlooked,

and even though you don't deem me as a threat, I am.

I'm here to take the crown.

She was sitting there real, real manly over there.

Listen, let me tell you something.

This is a foxy fox,

and she can do whatever she wants.

Mm-hmm.

Hi, I'm Tina Burner's mother Sue.

Oh, my God!

I'm just so glad, you know,

I have a chance to talk to you through this video.

I know that this is a trying time for you,

and you must be very nervous.

But I do wanna say you have no reason whatsoever to worry.

You have the best personality going for you.

Whenever I'm down and out,

I know I can always pick up the phone and call you,

because you are hysterical and you make me laugh.

And I'm so, so proud of you.

You have succeeded so, so much.

You're the joy of my life.

I was blessed by you, Tina.

I wish you all the luck in the world.

I love you so, so much from the bottom of my heart.

Aw, Tina.

-Oh! -Aah!

Yay!

That was so sweet.

Sit down, talk to us.

Oh, God.

It's just my mom and I have been through so much,

and it's just, like, I gave up such of my life

to, like, take care of her.

And it's, like, just--whew.

Oh, it's been such a fucking journey.

It's just been really, really hard.

My mom suffers severely

from depression and bipolar disorder.

So, you know, growing up, it was not easy

and it was not fun all the time.

And I didn't have a normal childhood,

and I grew up very quickly.

But with that said, my mother is my rock.

She is, like, the world to me,

and I've always wanted this moment

for my mom to be, like, "I'm so proud of you."

It's just, like, it's--

this is hard, I'm not gonna lie.

Like, I'm always so strong, you know what I mean?

Like, it's so shitty because, like,

you don't get time to, like, be weak.

And, like, I don't want-- this time in this competition,

like, I don't know where I stand right now.

And so, like, I don't wanna-- you know, I don't wanna go home.

I just wanna fight, and I wanna be here.

And, like, I wanna fight for her, you know?

I mean, I know I'm a fighter,

and if you looked how each year I grow and grow and grow.

Sometimes I just feel like, you know,

sometimes your best isn't good enough.

So it's shitty when you hear the judges just say, you know,

you're good, like, but you're not good enough.

So it's, like, you know, it's a blow.

That's not what the judges said.

The judges said they wanna see more.

Don't hear that wrong. Don't repeat that.

They just wanna see more, and there is more to you.

So, bitch, if you have to lip sync,

go out there and fucking show them everything you've got,

because you need to show them more.

-I know. -You are good enough.

You are good enough.

And just remember, it's like you said,

if you're fighting for anyone,

you're fighting for that woman up on that TV screen.

That beautiful woman.

You know, it's really-- y'all are so talented,

and I'm so happy to be blessed to be here with y'all.

It's so nice seeing you so vulnerable.

-I know. -Yeah, don't get used to it.

I will say, though, you have to shave your chest.

[all laugh] Fuck, stop it.

-I'm a beast. -Beast!

We love you so much, Tina, really.

She said five minutes?

Time to go listen. Let's go do it, kids.

Stuck to my chair, stuck to my chair.

Rosie, my hair's in my chair.

You're so funny. Hold on.

There you go.

Thank you so much.

As I am rehearsing the lip sync,

I'm thinking I've been holding back a little bit,

and I just need to let it loose, honey.

And if I have to push my way to that finale

and push myself there and then show what I can bring,

I'm happy to do that, too, because I'm a fighter.

Oh, gosh, I could possibly go home today.

But I know that I'm a great lip syncer,

and I know I have so much to prove in this competition,

and I do not want to leave.

I'm gonna give it all that I got.

Ladies, time for the main stage.

Follow me, please.

Well, let's go, bitches.

Everyone come on up.

-Child. -Right.

Let's go to the main stage, y'all.

Love you, RuPaul!

RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.

Tina Burner, Utica,

the time has come

for you to lip sync

for your life!

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Utica, shantay you stay.

Tina, my dear, thank you

for letting the whole world feel the burn.

Now sashay away.

If you would have asked me before this competition

what's gonna happen if you get voted off early,

I would have been, like,

I'm gonna be fucking pissed,

and I'm nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

But I'm not. I'm not mad.

I got here. I fought for years to get here.

People said that I would never get here.

So I'm so proud.

Oh, look, I have notes!

Oh, Kandy Muse.

"Baby girl Tinta, I am truly gagged you are gone,

"sad and heartbroken, to be honest.

"I'm really happy we were on Season 13 together.

"Thank you for always being a shoulder to cry on.

"I cannot wait to live out this season with you.

"I love you, my sister.

"See you in New York City.

Mean gurlz."

G-U-R-L-Z.

If you would have told me

I would have, like,

built such a strong relationship with Kandy and Mik,

I didn't see it coming.

I honestly am such a competition person

that I came in thinking that it was gonna be, like,

I'm just gonna do the competition

and fuck everybody else.

And I'm not gonna make friends, and I'm just here to win.

But for some reason, I came in here

and I let some guards down

and I formed some real relationships,

and I know they're gonna last after this.

It was refreshing to come here

after all these years of doing drag

and, like, learn new things

and, like, see different ways that people look at you.

It puts that fire under your ass

to really just prove to everybody,

like, maybe I didn't win,

but maybe I'll be bigger than that.

Thanks for the laughs, thanks for the tears,

and thanks for... ruining my dream.

Turn it and burn it, bitches!

This experience has meant the world to me.

It's amazing when somebody believes in you,

and it's amazing to know what I do can be appreciated.

I've found so much more love and so much more joy

in immersing myself fully in this competition.

I'm coming out a better person because of it.

America, get ready to feel the burn.

Bye, suckers.
