My queens,

you need to transform these rugged sportsmen into lovely ladykins.

- Oh! - Yes, Carl.

Wet the boobies!

Oh, my God, Dan.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Ah!

If you want to go into the challenge

thinking I'm wearing a sack tomorrow, then be my guest.

You're not wearing a sack, your drag daughter is.

[dramatic music]

Kita Mean, and Feta Mean, you just turned it out.

RuPaul: Scarlet Adams and Sapphire Adams.

Your look is just slightly more finished.

A little more attention was paid to Scarlet than Sapphire, I think.

Kita Mean, con-drag-ulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.

- Whoo! - [cheering and clapping]

Maxi Shield, sashay away.

♪♪♪

Girl!

"I had to stand on a stool to write this."

[all laugh]

Maxi goes home.

She should be so fucking proud.

Legend. Icon. Diva.

Oh, my God, she signs her name with a pair of massive tits.

I love that!

But, two weeks in a row, she's been in the bottom.

It was her time.

All right, Maxi, time to go.

I didn't know if you were gonna win that, but then you did those splits.

All: Oh!

Ooh, that was really nice.

Well, did you notice how I didn't do, like, 14 of them, though?

Wow, Scarlet, you did the splits!

I thought there was so much more to drag than that.

I'm glad you're here for another week.

I can't wait to see what corset you're gonna wear next week.

Ah! You're such a cunt!

Congratulations, Kita!

Ah, yes!

I honestly think Kita Mean is the biggest competition at the moment.

I can't believe you were lost for words.

Out of all the people onstage, you were lost for words.

I know.

Everyone else has been in the bottom.

She's never been in the bottom.

You know, you can't win this competition without winning somewhere along the way.

- Sorry about it, sis. - [laughing]

- Sasha Velour never won a solo challenge. - No.

- She won Drag Race. - Yep.

Don't count me out just yet. I am the rash that keeps coming back.

I want to take this big, old crucifix off my head and get out of it.

I'm so proud of us, though, girls.

- Top five! - Top fucking five.

Top four plus Art!

Yay!

- Top four plus Art! - Top four plus Art!

- Yay! - Whoo!

It is so important for me to win this challenge.

- You can have your titties back now. - Oh, thank you.

- Did they do the job? - They did the justice to the job.

I'm finally proving myself.

- How old is that? - Nine years old.

Ugh!

Oh!

I can win.

- I will win. - So much quieter in here.

- It really is. - Holy shit.

[laughing] I'll fuck 'em up.

[engine revving]

RuPaul: The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under

Whoo!

Run it up the guts!

Hey!

It's a new day in the Werk Room.

Ooh!

- [scream] - [all laugh]

Last week, I had to lip sync for my life, and it feels good to still be here.

- Okay, that was gross. - Yeah.

All right, let's never do that again.

Top four plus Art.

[laughing] No, it's top five... ish.

When we started this competition,

I wrote down in my notebook who I thought I'd be nearing the end with.

[ding]

[all laugh]

- It didn't include Elektra, unfortunately. - Ah!

But it did include the rest of you.

Really? Really.

I'm the most glad that I'm here with you.

I'm so close to the end.

I have costumes that I know they're not as good as everybody else's,

but I just will not let that stop me.

I will let nothing stop me.

I came here for a reason.

Ru saw something in me, and he obviously thought that I had

a chance of winning, and so, I'm gonna prove to him that I can.

- [siren] - All: Whoo!

RuPaul: Well, she done already done had hers.

Racers, when it comes to talent, size matters.

So, if you got it, flaunt it.

- But always leave 'em gagging for more. - [laughing]

I have no gag reflex.

- Oh! - Oh...

- We're doing a talent show. - No. They only do that on All Stars.

G'day, g'day, g'day.

Hey!

Ladykins, now, we are just one week away

from crowning Down Under's first Drag Race Superstar.

Now, at this point in the competition,

I feel like I have a good sense of your charisma, uniqueness, and nerve.

But now, the time has come to focus in on your talent.

- Mm-hmm. - Oh!

That's right, for this week's maxi-challenge,

we are throwing our first-ever Down Under Talent Extravaganza!

- Yay! - Wow.

It's the perfect challenge.

I have more talent in my fucking pinky toe than half these girls.

[laughs]

#DragRaceDownUnder.

Kita Mean, you won the challenge last week,

so you get to decide the show order.

Whoa!

Oh, this is too fucking good to be true.

Absolutely getting a semi in my pants.

Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.

All right!

- Talent show! - This is gonna be really fun.

- Yeah, fuck yeah. - I'm so excited for this.

Kita, you have the power.

Kita gets to choose the running order, and this is a great opportunity

to throw some of the other girls that might be feeling really confident off.

I think you've got to sort of, like, figure out, like,

highs and lows, and like what's energetic, or like, what's more...

Also, she could just sabo it completely.

- Yeah. - Put yourself in the best spot.

I think I definitely want to sabo it a little bit.

Yes!

So, where do we want to go? Chuck me where you want, babe.

I'd like to go last.

Okay, cool.

Do you want to sit on it for a while?

Well, I do like sitting on it.

Yeah, let me sit on it.

♪♪♪

I am so excited.

I'm bringing a little bit of magic to the talent show.

Let's just say, "all will be revealed."

Oh, no.

[snorting] Fuck it.

Art: Rawr!

Rawr!

What is Art doing?

Oh, my God, this is actually a workout.

- Is that your talent? - No, I'm warming up.

It's only just begun.

I think she's gone crazy.

- What are you doing? - We haven't really had a dance challenge

where I've got to really flex those muscles.

I'm wearing... it's, like, a very simple black dress.

- Oh yeah? - With simple hair,

and I'm just sort of telling a story through dance.

Uh-huh. Is it drag?

Not traditionally.

She is so confident, but if you don't look good in drag,

it kind of defeats the purpose.

I think it'll be different to what everyone else is bringing.

- Yeah. - But we're all...

We're all very different.

I'm excited to perform,

and my gut's telling me I want to go last,

but so does Scarlet.

Of course.

So, right leg, left leg comes around.

I'm very excited.

- Yeah, Karen. - Yes, Karen!

- Whoo! - Yes!

I haven't really seen drag queens do pole before.

Can you do this?

I'm gonna follow my gut.

Scarlet wants what I want.

Pretty.

But I'm gonna get what I want.

Just watch.

Scarlet: The room went really quiet.

Is everyone nervous? [Laughs]

Elektra wants to go last in the talent show.

- Girl. - "Put me last, put me last."

It might fuck them up.

Oh, this is gonna be good.

[pop]

Talent show, I'm bloody excited!

- You just grasp it... - Mm-hmm.

- Not too tight. - Uhh! Uhh!

Oh, my God.

Time to hit the stage and do what I do best,

and that's make a fucking fool of myself.

- Kita: It's all done! - Can we look?

All right, girls, are we ready for the fabulous.

RuPaul's Down Under Talent Show lineup?

[vocalizing drumroll]

Ooh!

- Oh, I'm opening, sickening. - Ooh.

- I love it. - Oh, I'm closing.

- You're kidding. - I like that.

- Is everyone happy? - I asked to go last.

Well, I put you near the end.

And you spelled my name with two T's, Kita.

- Oh, sorry! - Wow.

Ha!

Really?

Why have you done that, Kita?

So, um, I've actually put Elektra last because

she came and had a quiet word to me that she would actually prefer to go last.

- Mm. - Ah.

- Did you? - Yeah.

I'll watch that show.

Get her.

I've got you, honestly, seeing as came, like, second,

the thought process was, where do I want to go,

then where does Elektra want to go?

She asked to go last, so I put her last.

The reason I wanted to be at the end is because I know my piece is so different.

I'd like it to be quite shocking.

I mean, in terms of producing a show, it doesn't make sense.

No, that doesn't bother me at all, 'cause I know

I'm gonna crush these bitches.

- [whip snaps] - Ah!

Shit.

So, I mean, whatever.

Do what you need to do, girl.

- Hey, ladies, are you decent? - Hey!

RuPaul: I doubt it.

I brought company.

Please give a great, big Drag Race Down Under welcome

to the whore that is Raven!

- Oh, wow! - Ah!

Oh, my God!

- You better werk! - Oh!

Stop relying on that antibody.

[laughter]

Wow.

Oh, Raven walks into the Werk Room.

She even looked at me.

I'm a bit tingled, and it was just so good.

All right, Elektra Shock, come on over.

- Hi. - Hi, Elektra.

- RuPaul: What is your talent? - I'm dancing.

In this competition you've seen me do, like, the fierce,

and the heels and the sassy, and I'm really stripping back.

I'm showing you something a little bit softer and emotional, but I'm excited.

There's moves I haven't done, and there's muscles I haven't flexed.

I'm flexing a muscle right now.

- You fucking better be. - [laughs]

Oh, my God, you're so hot.

I'm not one of the judges.

I know, but I want you to judge me whatever you want.

I was.

You look like a naughty schoolboy.

- [RuPaul laughing] - Thank you.

Gorgeous blue dress, the collar bones, I was like, "Mm, mm, mm-mm-mm."

Are you surprised you're in the top five?

Yes and no.

I know I have what it takes to be a star.

I have been told my makeup definitely needs work.

I can learn the makeup, and I can get the right dresses.

I feel like I have X factor, and I think you see that.

Can't wait to see you out on that main stage.

Thank you.

All right, Kita Mean, come on over.

- Say hello to Raven. - Hi, Raven!

Hello, Kita.

Did you bring that fly over?

- Yeah, probably. Sorry. - Well, it's 'cause she's the shit.

- RuPaul: Get outta here! - [laughing]

- So, what is your talent? - I'm doing quick-change magic.

- Oh, I hate magic. - Do you?

Kita: Oh, fabulous.

Ru doesn't like magic?

Oh, gosh.

I'm a little bit nervous.

It's really about looking good, and acting like a fool.

I love doing both of those things.

Well, good, and you do a damn good job...

- at both. - Oh, thank you.

Now, you won the challenge last week.

I was looking at everyone else.

I thought they did such a good job, so I felt a little bit...

guilty?

Kita was like... "So I won."

Why? Why is she like that? I'm confused!

- Tall Poppy Syndrome? - Don't know.

It's so fucked up.

I've always had those inner demons in my head that try to fuck me up.

I would love to just ask you how you dealt with self-doubt.

When you are in your hometown, you are one of the top queens.

When you come into this,

you're coming into a place with every other top queen from where they live,

and so, you have to start thinking ahead of yourself,

but not second-guessing yourself.

Usually when you second-guess yourself is when you end up messing up.

I can't wait to be mystified by your "magique".

[blowing] And just like that, poof!

All right, Scarlet Adams.

So, you brought those shoes around. Is that part of your talent?

It is. I'm gonna be doing some pole dancing.

I'll be doing the Jade Split.

It's an inverted split off the top of the pole.

Yeah.

It's potentially a very dangerous thing to do.

The only thing that's touching the pole is the inside of my thigh

and the inside of my waist.

If I were to lose control in that moment,

the first thing that would hit the ground would be my head,

followed by my full body weight.

Also, this will be the first time I've performed pole.

Have you danced on poles all of your life?

This is gonna be the biggest pole I've ever attempted to climb, but...

Really?

Maybe have first aid on standby.

RuPaul: You were in the bottom last week.

It just threw me for six.

I looked around the room, and I compared my costume to everybody else's.

I knew it was too simplistic.

That lit the fire under my ass to be like, "Bitch, you need to bring it,"

'cause we're nearing the end of the competition.

Are there any questions you've been dying to ask Raven?

Uh, how many mils? No, I'm kidding.

At this point, I have no idea.

I actually need a refill.

- Oh, the shade! - I'm kidding!

- We've all been there. - Did she throw you for a six?

She threw me for a seven.

- I can't wait to see you on that pole. - Me too. Thank you.

And make it motherfucking rain.

Hey!

Come on over, Art.

- Meet the parents! - What's your talent?

I'm doing a very serious, contemplative performance art piece.

- Oh! - Which is a commentary on the media.

So, it's a spoken word?

No, but I will be using my mouth hole.

Yeah, I have a giant mouth.

It's my second-most talented hole in my body,

so I thought I would bring it to the stage.

So, you will be taking things out of your orifice, or putting things into it?

Um, putting in.

So, you're not very much a fan of things in mouth holes?

[crickets]

- If it's food. - It depends on what it is.

- It depends on what it is... food. - She is a fan of things in the mouth.

I am, exactly.

Ru says she doesn't like seeing people put food in their mouths.

I think you're gonna be gagging in the good way.

Okay.

I'm excited for Art to stuff things in her mouth,

'cause it means she'll be quiet for a fucking second.

Raven is a veteran of the Drag Race franchise.

Do you have any questions for her?

Any tips for life post-Drag Race?

My number-one thing is, do not read comments.

Anything on social media, stay away from. I know it's hard to do.

The nasty things people have to say that don't even know you.

No.

It's like empty calories.

- You know, it really does not serve you. - What's a calorie?

[laughing]

Well, thank you so much, Art. I can't wait to see you on the main stage.

Thank you. Thank you, Raven.

All right, Karen From Finance, what's your talent?

Uh, I am doing a little bit of clowning and ballooning for you.

Is that some type of sex thing?

Ballooning, like, balloon animals?

Exactly.

Kita's taking her clothes off, Elektra's doing some dancing,

Scarlet's doing some pole.

Oh.

Karen's doing balloon animals.

- You've won one challenge... - Mm-hmm.

And then you've sort of slid...

What's the deal there?

It's a matter of me not fully realizing

the Karen From Finance that I want to exist in the world.

I feel like I can be clever when I have the control,

and so it's... without the control is maybe where I'm stumbling a little bit.

Yeah, or letting that control go.

Letting the control go.

Do you ever variate from Karen From Finance and go,

"I'm gonna go sex kitten"?

You know, you're touching on something that I haven't really explored before.

I actually do have one sexy kind of thing here, I guess.

So make fucking balloon animals in it, bitch.

[RuPaul laughs]

If you were ever going to just break free and experiment,

it would be now.

Thank you, Karen From Finance.

I can't wait to see you on the main stage.

Thank you, can't wait, see you there.

- Alright, thanks. - Bye.

I have been turned on my head this week.

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

RuPaul: Ooh, good advice!

I look across, and I'm like, what the fuck is going on with this?

Karen was like...

I thought I could just come here and be the Karen that I want to be.

You can.

That's what I'm struggling with.

Would not be precious, French, street-artist Karen,

it's gonna be Karen the hooker.

It's basically being handed to me on a platter,

but they are wanting something different from me

that I'm not confident delivering.

Oh!

No, that is... I'm not doing that again.

If I sit here and put these boots on and, like,

make "fuck-me" noises, who even am I?

Ugh, Karen was, like, really just sitting there, like...

I'm like, "Just stop."

Just put on the fucking sexy outfit and do you.

You're hot, you're sexy.

Ru is giving us the tools.

Just use them!

All I wanted to do was twist a fucking poodle.

The frustration that I'm feeling in my head

is just sending me completely out of control.

Scarlet: Girl, you enjoy that internal monologue.

Oh, my God.

If I don't pull it off, which will be likely,

this will be the week that I go home.

♪♪♪

For today's maxi-challenge, we are doing a talent showcase.

It's actually my first time performing pole.

You know, a little bit dangerous to do it on a world stage.

The vibe has totally changed.

I think people are starting to realize

that we're getting so close to the end, fuck!

I'm very stressed at the limited amount of time that we have to get ready.

Do you need prep time for your talent?

I'm so nervous, because I feel like this is my make-or-break moment.

I don't usually have this much pressure on me when I'm about to perform.

I've completely changed my act,

and I'm gonna bring the sexy back.

Are you second-guessing, um, the decision to change, or...

No, not at all.

Or you're just not mentally prepped properly, or what is it that's...

I honestly just want to get ready. I'm sorry, everyone.

Mm-hmm, this is awkward as fuck.

Don't talk to me!

So, we kept talking to her.

So, Karen, why are you so stressed today?

I've spent a lot of time thinking about it,

getting in the right headspace to do it,

and I'm gonna go out there and do a great show.

Stay in your head, love, you stay in your head,

and I will just keep doing my own thing, and hopefully get a win.

Elektra, are you gonna feel confident, after your little chat with Raven?

[chuckling]

Have you washed your lips since kissing the hand, Elektra?

Elektra: Nope.

She might have sniffed that later on.

I'm feeling confident, and I think I could win.

I'm gonna go out there and dance.

None of them can do what I'm about to do.

Art, after Raven mentioned, like, not reading the comments,

have you ever had any experience in the past

with people being nasty on your social media?

Oh, my God, everyone has a fucking opinion of me.

Remember the Christmas gig?

They replaced Santa Claus on Chapel Street with Drag Queen Carolers.

I experienced hatred.

And then I started getting death threats.

I was getting countless death threats.

People being like, "You fucking ruined Christmas,"

while I was still continuing to do the gig.

Like, people would run up to the car and, like, threaten me and hurl abuse.

So, it was a really scary time.

It was heartbreaking.

Me doing something I love was apparently destroying the world.

I've had death threats from within my own family.

- Whoa. - From, like, out of family.

And I remember my mom being so scared, being like,

"What if they come to a show?"

Art, is that, like, a religious thing, or like, what... why...

Art: No, it's really sad.

They were, like, queer but grew up in the country,

and then saw me getting praise and adoration for being

so outwardly queer and open and accepted, and hated me for that.

It turns out she was trans,

and just, no one was supporting her with the transition.

This person took their life.

Like, it all came out afterwards, so it all made sense down the track.

It's a really sad story.

With Victorian drag,

we take that drag to every single corner of the state, every regional town we can...

Safe queer spaces to places that don't normally have them.

For these people to know, like, there's other people out there.

I want to let you girls know that if you're, like,

ever feeling really, really run down, please give me a call,

and we can talk through it together.

Aw, that's a good girl.

On the runway, I am serving you high-fashion, outrageous, poodle glamour.

Apparently, Horton hears all the who.

I want the judges to see how ridiculous this outfit is,

but how beautiful and sexy I am feeling in it.

all over me are creatures, I'm covered in crystals.

Rhys: You know, there's a spray for that.

Nectar? I hardly know her.

I am channeling gumnut baby realness.

My name's Art, play with my gumnut.

Could she look any gayer?

♪ Right from the start so proud of you ♪

Up next, Kita Mean.

I am serving you club kid, fembot realness,

and I feel camp as fuck.

RuPaul: Er, er, short circuit.

- Ooh! - It's party girl.

Michelle: Kita gets all the L-E-D.

Now, that's what I call highlights.

♪ Con-drag-ulations ♪

I feel so fierce and fun, but in these contacts, everything is a haze.

I can't see a fucking thing.

- Rhys: She has the ten tied up. - RuPaul: Yes.

Up next, Scarlet Adams.

Cher's farewell tour continues.

I am serving you classic, vintage Ziegfeld Follies glamour.

I feel like a...

woman!

Rhys: She forgot to shave her tits.

I want the judges to see that I can do sexy and slutty

and androg like I did in my performance, but then also be super refined,

super glamorous, super gorgeous.

Lifestyles of the Ost-Rich and Famous.

Elektra Shock.

Ooh, she's a bit of a swinger.

For "How's Your Head-dress," I am serving you Moulin Rouge realness.

I am referencing Cabaret, I'm referencing Chicago,

Rhys: You've seen Liza at the Palace, but have you seen her at the playground?

I feel so strong... not only am I the dancer, but I have stolen the show,

and it's everything that I want to embody as a drag queen.

♪ Con-drag-ulations ♪

- Kia or a, queens. - All: Kia or a!

- Aussie Aussie Aussie! - Oi oi oi!

Let's get right to the judges' critiques, starting with Karen From Finance.

Tonight on the runway, this is really beautiful.

That color is gorgeous on your skin, your makeup looks dynamic.

- Your talent was making a balloon animal. - Uh-huh.

One.

I loved it, I laughed.

It was just so short.

- You looked great. - Thanks.

- You were giving us Karen From Bondage. - Mm-hmm.

Um...

You were so sexy.

- Did you feel sexy? - I did.

I felt a little uncomfortable looking at you, Karen.

Stop it.

I wonder what they're gonna say at the office Monday morning.

Up next, Art Simone.

I'm obsessed with this.

So dramatic, but it's, like, quite beautiful and so intricate.

RuPaul: It is so chic.

I could see it coming down a Vivienne Westwood runway.

Within the talent show, I didn't know what that was, but fuck, I loved it.

Michelle: Most importantly, you look stunning.

Your hair was gorgeous, that gown was beautiful.

Ru doesn't like to watch people eat, but you weren't just eating them,

you were cramming them in your mouth,

so I don't know if that constitutes because you,

like me, didn't swallow, so it was perfect.

[ding]

- Kita Mean. - You gave us a drag magic show tonight.

I would call it "dra-gic," a dra-gic show.

Michelle: It was so fun.

The issues for me were,

it took a long time to get to that first quick-change.

And then the outfits were not great.

I am not a big fan of magic,

but I just love the joy that you bring to the stage, and this is joyous.

It's such a different silhouette for you

and a different silhouette from everyone else,

and it's a feast for the eyes.

Thank you.

Scarlet Adams.

Michelle: Wow, wow, wow.

That was mind-blowingly good.

It was frightening. It was titillating.

We didn't know if you were gonna break something or...

It was just absolutely thrilling.

Between the challenge and this runway, we've seen

kind of the two sides of burlesque.

I think a look like this could have easily come out

seeming a little kind of costume-y and campy, but it doesn't.

It's just so, like, stunning and well-put together.

Thank you so much.

Up next, Elektra Shock.

Michelle: Your dancing was very, very well done.

I really hope Sia saw that and you can be in the next video.

Thank you.

The part that didn't sit well with me was the costume,

and the hair was not the greatest.

I know that you're doing contemporary lyrical and you can't wear shoes,

but it just takes you out of the element.

This, tonight, however, I'm gonna say that this is the best you've ever looked.

I can see that you're working on your makeup.

It has the sense of humor and the glamour... it's got it all.

- I think you should be really proud. - Thank you.

You know, as I'm sitting here, watching you all,

I can just imagine the illustrations that people are gonna make

- of each of these iconic outfits. - Yeah.

Really beautiful. Well done, each of you.

Now, ladies, with the grand finale just one week away,

I want to ask each of you,

who do you think should go home tonight, and why?

Starting with Karen From Finance.

I'm going to say Elektra.

She has achieved so much in this competition,

and if her story came to a close today, she could go home happy.

Art Simone.

I would agree with Karen and say Elektra as well.

I don't think she deserves a crown just yet.

Kita Mean, who do you think should go home tonight, and why?

Whoa, this is really hard.

I don't like doing this.

I would have to say...

my sister, Elektra.

As much as I love her and I'm so proud,

I would see her probably... a couple of steps down the ladder.

All right, thank you.

Scarlet Adams, same question.

I would agree with the sisters and say Elektra.

Elektra, who do you think should go home tonight, and why?

Art Simone.

I think everyone's started to make connections

between themselves and their drag personas

and started discovering new things about themselves,

and I think Art is still trying to do that.

I thank you, ladies, for your honesty.

Now, while you untuck in the Werk Room, the judges and I will deliberate.

You may leave the stage.

So, that runway got a bit intense at the end there.

How do you feel?

I was surprised I was everyone's choice.

[whispering] Like, guys.

I'm the easy target.

I get it.

[mumbling] ...and everything... mess the hair up.

But the wig was... it was rotten.

Man alert, man!

I was so surprised when you said my name.

I don't mean it with any disrespect. You know I admire...

Oh, no, I couldn't give a rat's ass what you think anyway.

I actually couldn't hear 'cause I had butterflies on my head,

but she's got the makeup on, so... LOL.

Have I let you down?

Well, I was surprised you said me.

We all deserve to be here, but if someone has to go home...

Yep.

Fucking awkward.

Um, yeah.

- Well... - [siren]

Excuse me, what?

Saved by the bell.

The fucking Veronicas!

Hi, angels, we're your therapy support dogs today.

Just the uplifting moment we need.

- How are you feeling? - Good, it was talent showcase day today.

I'm so glad they are here, because I do not want to talk about

what just happened on the runway.

Who was the bottom and who was the top this week?

What the fuck, bitch? What the fuck?

They want their tea.

Well, I think Scarlet's definitely the winner this week,

but who do we think for bottom?

I think maybe Elektra and Karen.

Or Elektra and Kita.

I also got negative critiques.

At least you bitches all look different... we look the same.

[all laugh]

So, angels, who do you think sitting next to you

deserves the Drag Race Down Under crown?

The Veronicas are some shady bitches.

I'd say Scarlet.

- I would say Karen. - Oh!

I am gonna say Kita Mean.

She has the best track record of anyone here.

- Thank you. - I 100% agree.

If I'm not the winner, I think it should go to Elektra,

and the reason for that is, if they don't crown me the winner,

they're obviously not looking for the drag queen

that is the most well-rounded, that could use [no audio].

So, if that's the case, they would be looking for potentially the queen

that has blossomed the most in the competition, and that is Elektra.

But if we have any advice, a well-placed slutdrop

can come in and steal the show last minute... it's saved us many times.

I don't know about a well-placed slutdrop,

but I have always been called a well-placed slut.

- Maybe a misplaced slut. - Misplaced slut, that's it.

Darlings, dry your eyes,

tape up your titties and go out there and do us proud.

- Yes! - [cheering]

Thank you so much!

- I kind of want to lip sync now. - Yes!

Now, just between us kangaroos, this is a hard one.

I love all the girls, but let's start with Karen From Finance.

It just wasn't a full show.

There should have been more.

It was so funny, but then just stopped so suddenly.

She did look incredible, she looked like the nicest dominatrix in town.

Like the dominatrix you send your dad to.

Tonight on the runway, her makeup...

I could lick her face, it was so beautiful.

- Mm-hmm. - She looked like a painting.

RuPaul: All right, let's move on down to Art Simone.

On the runway tonight, this was a spectacular look for Art.

I love the mechanical elements of the butterflies.

I love the insane idea of using the foliage as hair.

I take for granted, I think, what Art does every week.

She ups the ante every time.

Did the show make sense? No. But did I laugh? My ass off.

Like, I'm sure it's making a comment on consumerism or some shit,

but I don't care, I loved it so much.

RuPaul: Kita Mean.

Kita Mean took two hours to get to the first dress reveal.

RuPaul: They weren't the greatest outfits.

I think, to do that act, you have to use a certain fabric

that doesn't quite look as good once it's revealed.

Could it be the right length, though?

It's kind of Amish stripper, like, "Ooh, I'm getting more dressed as we go along."

Michelle: Tonight on the runway, this was joy personified.

It was anime meets club kids, and it was all things drag,

and I was definitely here for it.

RuPaul: Scarlet Adams.

I gotta tell you, that pole routine was exquisite.

She gave us a pole dance in those super-high platform heels,

with that incredible bondage, PVC outfit, tucked for the gods.

She didn't allow her balls to pop out.

- I mean, that's a skill in and of itself. - That's quite a skill.

Tonight on the runway, on the complete opposite end of burlesque world,

the plumage, to the crown, to the dangling beading.

She looked so regal.

Very good night for Scarlet Adams.

All right, up next, the name on everybody's lips, Elektra.

Michelle: The dance itself was stunning, but the drag that went with it was not.

Tonight on the main stage, complete opposite.

I think she looks stunning tonight.

I'm always happy to see that cut of hair that's been taken on

so aggressively by small lesbians.

Week after week, we give her critiques,

and she comes back the next week and tries to better it,

and she looks so pleased with herself and so confident

standing there in such a fun theme.

And it made me forget that the drag in the talent show was a bit rough.

All right, silence.

I have made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Scarlet Adams.

Con-drag-ulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.

Thank you so much.

You've won a range of merch with your face on it,

and a cash tip of $5.000 from Merch Mother.

Thank you so, so much.

Elektra Shock.

This week, you brought the dance, but where was the drag?

I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.

Karen From Finance, you left the judges wanting more,

which, tonight, was not a good thing.

Art Simone.

Tonight, your big mouth might get you in trouble, again.

Kita Mean.

Your quick-change was a little... abraca-drab-ra.

Kita Mean...

I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.

Karen, Art, you are both safe.

My first fucking lip sync, in that costume, against Elektra?

Fuck!

I'm lip-syncing against my sister, and I do not want to do this.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

and save yourself from elimination.

[dramatic music]

The time has come... [thunder]

For you to lip sync...

[echoing] ...for... your... life!

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

♪♪♪

This is all very overwhelming, to lip sync against someone who has given me

a career, who has nurtured me.

It is way too much.

- [RuPaul laughs] - [cheering]

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Kita Mean.

Shantay, you stay.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

Elektra, you danced your way into our hearts.

Now, go out and shock the world.

Sashay away.

I can't thank you enough for all you have given me,

and I can't wait for whatever's coming next.

Thank you.

Kia kaha, girls.

Hey, Ru!

- [New York accent] How you doin'? - [all laugh]

Like, you saw what everyone thought of me in this competition.

Did it matter? Look where I got.

I'm so glad that Kita Mean was the one to send me home. That felt right, yeah.

I didn't think I'd find myself here at RuPaul's Drag Race.

I'm excited everyone will see me like this now.

Everyone's gonna be, like, super proud of me,

'cause they were telling me that I was special, and I just didn't listen,

and now I know.

I just forgot.

Don't forget.

Everyone better be ready, 'cause Elektra's gonna shock you, babe.

My final four, con-drag-ulations.

Next week, we crown a winner, baby!

But first, I want to hear from our viewers.

Who do you want to be Down Under's very first Drag Race Superstar?

Are you Team Art Simone?

Are you Team Karen From Finance?

Are you Team Kita Mean?

Or are you Team Scarlet Adams?

Let your voice be heard.

We will see you next week for the grand finale

of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.

Until then, remember, if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?

All right, now let the music play!

♪♪♪

My final four,

for your final maxi-challenge,

you're doing a collaboration with me on the song

Wow.

You are the future of drag.

The performance today was mind-blowing.
