Original subtitles

(suspenseful music)

(ominous music)

- [Swanthula] Previously on Dragula.

- I'm ready for my closeup.

- For tonight's challenge

you'll be starring as a character in our horror short,

"The Exorsisters"

- Sigourney, we haven't seen some filth or horror.

- Nope, stop.

- I don't know how much longer we can wait.

- I feel like with the mothers, you both need to be earnest.

- I'm thinking that I really shit the bed on this one.

We're going to have to go back to the drawing board.

- [Swanthula] As a second part to this weeks challenge

you must design and create an original demon themed look.

- That winner is,

HoSo!

- Yes!

- [Swanthula] Zavaleta,

- [Dracmorda] Dahli,

- Sigourney,

you are up for extermination tonight.

You did serve us filth, it is desperately simple though.

- I work so hard.

- You work hard, I work hard too.

- Last time I fell short.

I don't want to go out that easy again.

(screams)

(intense music)

(thunder clap)

(intense circus music)

- Calling all uglies, misfits, mutants, and miscreants,

have we got a show for you!

- The most dazzling, exciting,

death-defying, spectacular show

of thrills, chills,

kills,

and laughter is here,

and you're invited.

- The Boulet Brothers' Circus of Clowns

is a show you'll never forget.

- You'll laugh so hard, you'll die.

(Boulet Brothers laugh)

- [Dracmorda] Join us for a one night only journey

into madness,

where just one ticket

will not only buy you a barrel of laughs,

but a one way ticket to that big top in the sky.

Minus your head, of course.

- [Swanthula] We and our league of merrymakers

can't wait for you to follow us to clown town.

So what are you waiting for?

- [Dracmorda] Put on your big red shoes,

put a smile on that ugly face,

and kiss your pathetic lives goodbye.

It's time to say farewell to the miseries of life

and let us turn your frown upside down.

Forever!

(laughter)

(record slows down and distorts)

(Dragula Theme)

- [Swanthula] The winner of the Boulet Brothers' Dragula

will headline the upcoming Dragula World Tour,

receive a $100,000 grand prize courtesy of us,

and the title of Dragula,

the World's Next Drag Supermonster.

(thunder clap)

(scream)

(suspenseful music)

(thunder claps)

(upbeat electronic music)

- So quiet.

- So fuckin' quiet.

- I know.

- If I had to place bets on who went home,

it's a toss up between Sigourney and Zavaleta.

I don't think Dahli has screwed up as much.

So it's anybody's game.

Who do you think is going to get the chop?

- How do you even decide?

- Yeah.

- Such different styles of drag, such different looks.

We can go by track record, which, you know,

Zava's in big trouble.

- I don't know, my heart goes out to her,

I just relate to her so much.

I relate to her wanting to bring her culture

into the competition.

- I know.

I really want her to stay, but like, you know,

everyone in this top five has something that they represent.

This is the first week

where I genuinely have no fucking idea who went home.

So I'm just waiting for someone to walk in.

(HoSo screams)

- I am super fucking grateful to be back.

I knew in the back of my head

that I wasn't going to be the one going home,

but there's always just that little bit of just, self-doubt

that will be louder than every voice

in your head at that time,

and I'm glad to fight through it.

I don't ever want to go through that again.

How was it? How was it, How was it?

I know you had some trepidations about the extermination.

- For me it was like a simulation of drowning, almost.

Just like, not being able to breathe,

- [HoSo] That's awful.

- With this thing over your face.

- Was there no tube or anything?

- Nothing, yeah,

- So you were literally just holding your breath.

- Yeah, you have to just hold your breath.

- That is awful.

- Which is a fucking nightmare.

I'm like, overly fucking thankful.

I literally just like, fell to the floor

and just fuckin' cried.

I hate crying in front of people.

I felt like I was in the same position that I was last time.

I was doing so well and then I just completely

got in my head and it just,

it showed.

I haven't had that great of a time since season two,

it's been a life-changing experience,

but I felt like I had so much unfinished business

and not with just the show, but within myself,

that at the time had a lot to do with like, my self worth.

So yeah, that's what's so important to me at this time.

I feel like I've just done so much shitty things in my past

that like,

this is the only thing that I've ever done with my life

that I'm actually proud of.

So like,

I need to just keep moving forward

for the sake of my fuckin' sanity.

- I'm really proud of Dahli.

He threw in the towel on his season

and after I destroyed him on Resurrection,

he's really come back with a fight.

(Saint laughs)

- If it makes you feel any better,

you've cried like a little bitch.

(HoSo laughs)

(everyone cheers)

- Hi.

- I'm heartbroken 'cause Zava's gone,

I'm also happy because Beaver's here,

need my baby Beaves,

but that's the competition, someone's gotta go.

(Dahli) I'm so glad you're here.

(Sigourney) I'm so you're here.

- I love Dahli.

It was hard enough hearing that they were in the bottom,

and that possibly one of us could be going home.

Being able to like, see that like, both of us made it,

It really just felt like a huge relief.

So, the latex was terrifying,

but also exciting, and mostly hilarious

because as soon as it came off,

it took my entire fucking face with it.

It was like a perfect imprint.

I went into it really strong and really confident

because like, I'm gonna fight, I'm not going to break down,

I'm not going to show like, weakness.

But like, I was really fucking scared.

I was really, really, really fucking scared.

I'd maybe do it again.

(Dahli laughs)

I definitely want to watch,

- [Dahli] You're on your own.

- y'all do it,

(laughter)

for sure.

- They ain't talkin' my ass into that shit twice, fuck that.

- It felt horrible.

The first time that it came down

it took my fuckin' eyelash

and jammed it right into my fuckin' eye.

Ugh, there's a whole eyelash in my eye.

And it tried to take my contacts out.

Is one of my contacts out?

And maybe my tits look weird underneath it,

I'm very nervous about how that's gonna look.

- I'm obviously glad that you're here,

This is a great top four.

I'm just,

I just love Zav so much.

- Yeah, she brought a lot of heart.

- She did, she did, and she was a hard competitor.

- With the fire she has, it coulda been anybody.

- Zava and I have really connected

throughout this competition,

more than we thought we would.

Through like, how we bring our culture into our drag,

and where we come from.

So I'm very sad to see her go.

- It feels like yesterday

that Merrie was screaming over there in the corner.

- Now that I do not miss.

(everyone laughs)

at all, at all.

(loud ominous noise)

- Oh, and there it is.

- Oh, all right, let's do it.

- [Swanthula] Please make your way

to the main stage at this time.

(suspenseful music)

(static sounds)

- Greetings my little drag bozos,

and congratulations on surviving last week's challenge.

(contestants cheer)

We're thrilled to see that you're all still alive

and that you've taken one step closer towards your destiny.

- This next challenge

is the defining moment of the competition.

It's the challenge that will dictate

who among you will compete

in the grand finale of the season.

- Winning the next challenge

will also have another special reward.

Whoever makes it to the top three

will automatically be added to the cast

of the Boulet Brothers' Dragula Season Four World Tour.

(Sigourney screams)

(contestants cheer)

Which is set to tour

the United States, the UK, and beyond in 2022.

- Oh holy shit, fuck yeah.

- We don't want the fact

that we've put all this pressure on you to sour your moods.

So it's time to send in the clowns.

The killer clowns, that is.

(contestants laugh)

- For this week's challenge

you must conceptualize and craft a full monster look

based on the theme killer clowns.

(contestants cheer)

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

- While this challenge is inspired

by one of our favorite movies,

"Killer Klowns from Outer Space,"

your clown does not need to be extraterrestrial in nature.

- Whether your drag clown is a psychopathic killer,

a space alien in disguise,

a french commedia dell'arte with a penchant for anarchy,

or something all together different,

we want your clown to tell us a story

and the story better be written in blood.

- As a second part to your challenge,

we will be taking you on location,

where you'll be participating

in a clown cart death race from hell.

(Dahli screams)

(contestants cheer)

- You will each get your own clown go-kart

and will drive against each other

through a series of obstacles

in a race to the finish line.

- There is also a special fright feat this week

that will award the winner the keys to the carts.

That means whoever wins this week's fright feat

will be able to decide which of you clowns gets which cart.

And I'll warn you now;

all clown carts were not created equal.

- Your feat is simple;

There's a clown from your past

that's currently hovering over a dunk tank

and you'll have three chances to hit a target

and knock the clown into the water below.

Whoever knocks the clown down

with the least number of attempts

will win the challenge and the keys to the carts.

- Go and enjoy your clown game

and then get busy on your clown creations.

For three of you,

it's going to be a one-way ticket to stardom.

But for one of you, it will truly be your last laugh.

- Oh, and remember this;

a wise woman once said,

"when fighting clowns, always go for the juggler."

Good luck, uglies.

(Swanthula laughs)

(♪"Killer Klowns" The Dickies♪)

(anticipatory music)

- They said it's going to be a clown from our past.

My immediate thought is Abhora.

- [Dahli] Hello? Is it you?

- What's up, bitches?

(everyone screams)

Fuck you!

(everyone laughs)

- It makes sense to me that they'd pick Merrie

to be the one here and do this.

'Cause she's been the biggest clown all season.

- On behalf of the Boulet Brothers,

I wanna let you guys know

that you may think I'm getting dunked,

but no bitches,

it's all y'all.

(Dahli screams)

- No way!

- There's a weight limit so I couldn't do it.

It pays to be a fat bitch sometimes.

- Yes bitch.

- Okay,

you get three tries to dunk each other, only three.

And if you don't, we'll see what happens.

- All right.

- [Merrie] You ready to get wet?

- Yeah.

- All right, let's get rollin'.

Sigourney, you're up first.

Throw it! C'mon!

(Merrie vocalizing)

Oh. Well, that was very sad.

I'm getting a sign from the other side,

- Fuck!

- [Merrie] It's from a bitter,

- Last one.

- bitter bitch.

And she's saying,

"you couldn't get a second dress pattern?"

- I'm sorry, at least I have a dress.

Her reads are terrible.

I would give it like, a D+ overall.

- Oh, it's Dahli.

"I have a big penis,"

"I don't have to wear heels,"

we get it.

- Fuck off.

- You suck!

- At least they wear shoes.

- [Merrie] Come on baby, also,

- [HoSo] Ah, fuck.

- Well, that was not very clean.

And obviously you don't know how to clean

because your station's a fucking mess!

(Dahli laughs)

- Literally.

- Miss again!

(everyone laughs)

- Splish splash, I'm takin' a bath.

- Hey, I dunked a bitch,

are you proud of me now dad?

- All right Saint, where are the kitten heels?

C'mon, here kitty, kitty, kitty,

here kitty, kitty, kitty.

(Sigourney screams)

- Back up!

Back up, you gotta back up!

- Bitch you better back off.

- You still didn't get it!

Back up bitch!

- You suck!

- Not my fault you don't know how to throw a ball.

So sad.

(Merrie laughs)

That's what I thought.

All right, Dahli.

I know it's been hard times, 30% off OnlyFans,

(Sigourney screams)

- Damn, you went all in.

- [Merrie] Oh, don't get me wet now.

(Merrie laughs)

- You better back up.

Back the fuck up.

- Moo!

Moo!

- I feel like Mary's reads were,

bad.

- All right!

- All right, here's hoping for the best.

Boo!

(Dahli screams)

- I'm sorry.

- Oh my god, why is it so cold?

- What's wrong with you?

You're getting closer and you still can't do it!

(everyone laughs)

- [Saint] I'm sorry!

- [Merrie] Ya freakin' hoe,

So!

- Oh poor, sweet, Merrie.

She can not read.

- Sorry, Beaves.

(Sigourney screams)

(everyone laughs)

- [Merrie] I had to.

All right, that sucked

just like you all did during this whole competition.

I still can't believe this is the top four,

but thus is life.

And the winner is,

Dahli!

(everyone cheers)

Congratulations.

Apparently you do know how to handle balls.

And that's all you know how to do.

(everyone laughs)

All right, so you as the winner,

get to decide who gets what clown car,

and you guys can decide that later

'cause that's none of my business.

I got to go and get paid 'cause I got a gig

Deuces!

- [Dahli] Get!

- [HoSo] Bye-a!

- Bye-a, bye, fuck you bitches!

- [Sigourney] All right, I'll say it.

That outfit was god damn hideous.

- Fuck you I heard that, bitch!

(everyone laughs)

- I can't believe they've done this to us.

- I can't believe Merrie did this to us.

(everyone laughs)

Just kidding, I can.

- I give her a solid B, for Merrie's reads.

I think the delivery and the comedic timing was correct.

She could have work shopped it a little.

I guess that makes me the key master.

So this one's number one, so I'm assuming it's the best.

And as we go down the line, I'm assuming that's the worst.

But I think I want them

exactly how we're set up now so just,

(everyone laughs)

- Oh, so you're gonna give the shittiest car

to the asian twink bottom

that has never driven in her god damn life?

Should I start packing now?

- HoSo got the smallest key.

Good luck girl.

- Who knows, this might be the best key.

This key might be my key to success, so,

- No, I think,

I think Swan said it was bad.

- Um, I mean,

fitting.

I would say.

It's my first,

It's my first time driving, y'all!

(everyone laughs)

- We walked into the room,

the keys were laid out,

and whatever order we were standing at the table,

there's your car.

Sorry HoSo, you got the dinky one.

I don't like playing games.

Well, I figured you won two challenges in a row.

Gotta give you a disadvantage

'cause you're obviously not being challenged enough.

- I'm gonna drive y'all all over.

- Oh, you've been driving me nuts this whole time.

- Hey! Ba-dum-tss!

- Well, my key looks like a mailbox key.

I hope I'm driving a little postal truck.

But I come from

a long line

of NASCAR

appreciators

and I've got a portfolio

of unpaid speeding tickets to back that up.

- We gotta lotta work to do.

We gotta be some motherfuckin' clowns,

so let's get our shit together.

- Honk, honk!

- I'm gonna fill those clown shoes.

(soft percussive music)

(record scratch)

- Are you rubbing your tights on the ground to distress it?

- [Sigourney] Yes.

- [HoSo] That's genius.

- It's just fastest this way.

Honestly, I could just go around and dust this place.

Here, I'll dust your table for you.

- Thank you.

- [Sigourney] You're welcome.

- When judges said to show more filth,

I don't think that's what they meant.

- Gross.

- So right now I'm working on my killer clown look.

I chose to go for a mime.

I'm making them silent for a reason

and we don't know the reason yet,

The reason could show its face during top three.

And I'm gonna be using the actual garments,

since I'm The Fashion,

to sell the physicality of the look on the runway.

Everything is riding on this performance for me.

I've gotten the same critique for a while now,

and I just want to show them that,

I'm more than that.

I am a ferocious performer,

and on top of that, I have the looks to back it up.

So I just want to be able to show both off.

- I'm already a clown and a mess,

but I'm trying to approach this in a whole new direction

by turning this look into a mashup

of 16th century Korean exorcist

and a classic western clown.

So they're called Mudang,

and they were clowns and also exorcists.

They used to perform exorcism on people.

The structure is going to be

what the Korean traditional clowns used to wear,

but the color scheme and the appliques and stuff

will all be Western traditional clown aesthetic.

So I'm going to take

the hat that the exorcist and the clowns used to wear

and turn it into this kind of like, a top hat moment.

I take so much inspiration from Mudangs,

and how they move and how they perform.

So this is going to be right up my alley, I'm super excited.

- So my inspiration for killer clown is very street punk.

The whole color palette is like candy corn colors.

I figured it was like a fun color scheme

that we don't normally see on a clown.

I even gave him a name, his name is Sweet Tooth.

I'm thinking about making him

to where he's completely just all gums and has no teeth.

And maybe he like, lost them from like,

eating entirely too much candy,

but he is on the hunt for teeth.

That's my favorite part of Sweet Tooth, honestly.

Just,

just gum jobs.

The floor show is going to be the most important part of it,

and getting that like, story across

'cause my critiques last week

were about like, you know, blowing my load too fast.

It's just a great way to say it.

So I think slowing down and giving myself time

to like, tell the stories.

So like, the character can be like, fully realized

for the people that are watching and enjoying it.

- So for my clown, I'm very inspired by traditional clowns.

I like to have a theme be very clear when I present it.

And I'm just trying to bring something that's a little

bloody and slutty.

To make it killer,

I have my sweet little

puppet baby.

I named her Cigarette, Cig for short.

So that we're matchy-matchy,

and we have matching outfits.

A big part of clowning is like, physicality

and being able to tell a story

with your body and your movements.

And I'm very, very solid in that department.

I'm confident that I do a very good job,

physically doing things.

I've done everything I can to remain like,

so confident and so focused,

because this means so much to me.

But like, fuck dude.

My fucking mom.

My mom did just recently die.

And

she died

the same week that I got the call

to come here.

And I didn't even get to tell her.

She was my biggest fucking fan.

And she was so proud.

And she was,

(Sigourney cries)

To be able to be here after everything,

and she doesn't even get to share this with me.

[Dahli] You can cry to me anytime!

- [Saint] You've got a new family now.

- I know, but,

It's been two months and nine days,

and I just feel so alone.

- That's a lot.

- It's so much.

- Competition aside,

you've shown yourself to be just an extremely strong person,

- I have to.

- Strong woman, I love you Sigourney.

- You're a fucking trooper.

- With her

passing

and with doing this competition

just at the same fucking time,

this is undoubtedly like the hardest thing

that I've ever done in my life.

I know that if I can find the strength to do this,

I can do anything.

I mean, if I don't stay in that kind of mindset,

I'm going to crumble and I'm going to crack.

And I didn't come here to do that,

and she doesn't want that to happen.

It's just not fair.

- [Dahli] I know babe.

- All right clowns, let's go find us a big top.

- Ah!

- Ba-dum-tss!

- [Sigourney] That was good.

(upbeat electronic music)

(suspenseful music)

(circus music)

- Send in the clowns.

- It's a clown challenge, and now Sigourney and Saint

can finally catch up to me and Dahli

and actually start wearing makeup.

- Besides HoSo,

I feel like, I'm like the only clown here.

So I'm gonna show out.

- Mime stuff.

(Saint laughs)

- How do y'all feel today?

- I have a huge clown fetish,

so I'm gonna be,

- Really?

- I'm gonna be full sail all day today.

- Clown fucker.

(Dahli laughs)

- I had no idea.

- Yeah, um,

I used to be like, terrified of clowns.

And then as I got older,

it seemed like everything that I feared became

an obsession.

And for whatever reason, I have like a weird fear fantasy

of being fucked by a clown.

(Dahli chuckles)

- Dahli's mind is an interesting place.

- I want like a really scary, gruesome, like drooly clown.

Trying to get this pinata busted

by Bozo.

I haven't found him yet, but I'm sure he's watching now.

Don't look at me like that.

Stop it.

Stop.

I'm gonna get a chubby.

(upbeat electronic music)

(loud ominous noise)

- Aw shit, no.

- [Dahli] All right, all right,

it's lookin' about that time.

- It's the last one y'all.

- This is it, no clownin' around.

- [HoSo] No pressure or anything.

(Dahli chuckles)

(intense music)

- Hello uglies.

It all comes down to this.

Tonight we decide which of our drag monsters

will be moving forward to the grand finale.

- Having a cutting edge sense of humor

will take on new dimensions this week.

As we've challenged our competitors to create

killer clown floor show looks

worthy of a psycho circus from hell.

- Here to help us judge tonight's floor show

is Dragula super fan and star of HBO's "We're Here,"

Bob the Drag Queen.

Bob, thank you so much for joining us tonight.

- Oh it's lovely.

It's a little chilly, kinda like a morgue.

(Boulet Brothers laugh)

But I like it.

- And our next guest is everyone's favorite human familiar,

He is celebrated actor

and star of "What We Do in the Shadows,"

Harvey Guillen.

Harvey, darling,

it is so delicious to have you join us tonight.

- Thank you so much. Dark greetings, everyone.

I was told there'd be a buffet?

(Swanthula laughs)

- It's fine. You know, don't worry about it.

- Now, let's dim the lights,

- Start the music,

- and let the clown show begin.

("Killer Klowns" The Dickies)

(suspenseful music)

- So we have some important decisions to make today

because we are going to be deciding who the top three is.

- Mm-hmm.

- And I'm terrified at crushing

one of these little fragile souls.

- Are you really?

- A little, I like them.

- Yeah, I do too.

- Let's kind of talk about where we are right now

with the four that we have,

- Sure.

- and how we think they're doing so far.

Because it's not just

necessarily about how they perform tonight, right?

- It's how they are backstage,

it's how they are with the crew,

it's how they are as professionals.

- Right.

- And we're going to be considering all that stuff.

- How do you think, in general, about HoSo?

- I've considered HoSo the wild card

throughout this entire experience.

- [Dracmorda] Mm-hmm.

- I think I know what I'm going to get

when I see the full picture

and then she comes out and twists and contorts that idea.

- Right.

- My main concern with her,

isn't about creativity or professionalism,

it's about being able to deliver the performance,

a performance that audience members can understand.

- Sigourney too, started out so high,

and I still think she has like a poise, and a delivery,

and like, an energy to her

that very few other performers have.

- You want a piece of it,

you want to be in it's presence.

- Well,

she's sort of tripped up these last couple of episodes.

We threw some curve balls at her and she did not catch them.

- [Swanthula] She's not perfect,

but who amongst us is, really?

- Every performer has things that they can work on.

Everybody has room to improve.

- Speaking of things to improve on,

let's talk about Saint for a minute,

and this idea of like,

breaking out of the shell that she's in,

like her movement and her body.

I still feel like she has a mental cage around her body.

Although, tonight was probably the most giving

out of a physical performance,

so she is trying.

- I think it was really interesting

that this week she chose to do a performance

that was solely based on movement alone.

It's almost like she's trying to tell us something.

I get the message and I'm going to work on this.

- She steered right into it,

which I respect.

- Yes, me too.

And then there's Dahli.

- [Swanthula] Dahli gave us like, the best of Dahli tonight.

- I agree.

I think he tripped up a little last week,

but he certainly came back from it

and gave us the Dahli that we've seen all season and love.

- Yeah.

- Any four of these performers

would be great to take on tour and I think they'd do well,

but obviously,

three of them are going to do

just a little bit better than that fourth one.

- And it's our job now to play the alchemists.

Which three of these chemical components

do we combine to make the perfect potion

to bring on tour and terrorize the world?

- We have very good judges

to help us make this very hard decision.

So why don't we get them in the booth

and do what we came here to do?

(Swanthula laughs)

- Oh my god, what's wrong with me?

It's the end of the season and I'm melting.

- I'm melting, I'm melting.

- No.

(thunder claps)

(suspenseful music)

- Before we begin I want to remind you

that we are not here to judge your drag,

drag is art and art is subjective.

What we are judging you on

is your drag as it relates to this competition

and the challenges that we've put before you.

- We will be judging you on your killer clown creations

and how well you served those looks

during tonight's floor show.

And tonight's trials have very high stakes.

As a reminder,

whichever three of you make it to the finale

will be invited to terrorize the US, the UK, and beyond

as part of the cast of the official

Boulet Brothers' Dragula Season Four World Tour,

and be one step closer to winning the $100,000 grand prize.

The judges would like to offer you some critiques,

and we're going to start with Sigourney.

- Everything's put together so nicely.

I love how you've like,

dingied up some of the fabric.

One thing that kinda takes me out is like,

the hat is so clean,

I'd like to lean into like, the dingy look.

- I should've rubbed my hat on the floor.

- I like the danger of drag,

but when you were like, tangled up,

I was like, this bitch is gonna hurt herself.

Like, I was like,

I'm going to watch someone trip

and stab themselves in the eye.

It was like watching a kid run with scissors.

- I love your silhouette.

I love pretty much this entire thing tonight.

This is twisted and beautiful, which is a great combination.

I love this little, multiple personality, mini-me puppet.

I loved it.

- That thing gives me the heebie-jeebies.

The way that it just like,

emulates that like, death stare the Sigourney has,

I'm like, I'm good.

I'm gonna sit this one out.

Turn that thing around.

- The balloons,

were a little bit hard to see you struggle with.

It just completely consumed you for a second.

I just would've loved to have seen like,

a big finale with one of the balloons,

maybe pop one of them and blood came out of them,

or something like that.

Well, that would have been extraordinary.

- The balloons, obviously you had some issues there.

But I do think when you turned on them and decided like,

"I just have to massacre them right now,"

I felt your frenzy, so that was a little scary.

So I think that added a little more killer to your clown.

- Something Drac can really relate to.

- Absolutely, I've been there.

Usually when I rip off these outfits

at the end of the night,

it's very similar.

(everyone laughs)

- Let's move on to HoSo.

- HoSo, I really enjoyed this whole look, all together.

I love the whole idea of it.

Like, just as you came out, like, the three faces,

it would have been cool actually to see

maybe the face not be the center face,

and start off with the right

and then it throws us for a loop.

But other than that,

I think completely, I love this.

So great job.

- Thank you.

- Clowns, when they kill,

they typically use really unconventional weapons.

So it's kinda weird to see a clown with a sword.

And you also had the chicken,

but then you kill the chicken,

but I would've rather have been killed by the chicken.

So like, lose the sword and keep the chicken.

And I do agree,

there's a lot of like, detail into your garment.

Because you're so detailed,

it does take it out when you see like,

the back of the masks that aren't painted.

One little thing pulls you out of the visual.

Love details.

I love D, and I love tail.

(Harvey laughs)

- I think there may just be too much going on here.

From head to toe, you are decorated beyond,

but I'm kind of missing the messaging.

And I kind of gave you that critique last week too.

If you're going to have complicated ideas,

make sure that your audience understands what you're doing.

- Your face is just now become

an iconic part of Dragula history in my opinion.

It's so striking and different,

and you always manage to change it up to fit the challenge,

but you can still see HoSo in it.

I do think there was a little bit of busy-ness

overall with your concept,

There was a lot of things happening.

But you did a really good job.

- Thank you so much.

- As we've seen,

track record really doesn't matter at this point,

So this really wasn't the week to fuck up.

- Let's talk about Dahli.

Dahli, you look fuckin' cool.

And I've been suspicious of something the whole season,

and tonight cements it.

You are sick.

You are sick and you are twisted.

(laughter)

I love this crazy

Ronald McDonald's candy corn killer clown madness.

And you really took the note after last episode.

You peeled back this performance slowly.

There was so much more than I could have imagined,

it was brilliant.

- Thank you.

- Dahli,

I love everything about your performance, everything.

The look. I mean, you're in character the whole time.

I mean, the details on this,

the magnifying glass, the teeth from head to toe.

It's my favorite look tonight,

and I couldn't keep my eyes off of you.

- So at first I was like,

I thought you were like a traffic cone clown.

I was like, I've never seen a traffic cone clown.

- It could happen.

(Dahli laughs)

- A candy corn clown does make more sense.

I love that you chose a motif and a color palette

that is instantly recognizable.

And this is wild.

From the top of your corn to the bottom of your

probably corns on your feet too.

(Dahli laughs)

- Oh lord!

- Did you make this?

- Of course, head to toe.

- This is great.

Like, this is drag.

- Thank you.

- So, I think your crotch candy

was my favorite part of tonight's killer clown show.

- It's still in there, it's so melted.

- Well done at disguising your prop.

Concept's great, the detail's amazing,

so well done.

- Thank you.

- And last but not least, let's talk about Saint.

- So I love to see a sad clown.

I don't so much see the killer in you.

I see like, the tormented,

you know, "please help me,"

I think it's a cool message.

I definitely see fashion, I see clown.

I don't see too much killer.

- Yeah, Saint,

I think this look is very fashion,

but in comparison to the others,

I think that it could have had a little more.

I think the body movement

could have been a bit more as well.

I think the camera does love you.

I feel like you could be an amazing performer on screen.

On stage you got to reach to the back row, right?

But on screen, you're great for the camera.

So, it's a good thing and a bad thing, I guess.

- So I think choosing a mime was interesting

because of the critique that you've been given.

To lean into the physicality

shows that you're listening to what we're saying

and you're trying to make an effort to answer for that.

I like this look. There's devil in the details.

- The part of this outfit that I love the most

is this shirt with these fierce sleeves.

But then I think the overalls over it

is kind of overpowering, if that makes sense.

I don't know if it was custom or what,

but take it from someone who did it.

You do not want to go into the finale of a drag competition

wearing store-bought clothes.

I mean it could work out for you.

And I was really kinda struggling a lot with

giving a critique to you too because,

I know you won Resurrection,

I think a lot of times when you're like, a black person,

people will try to discredit your victories

and they'll act like you won

because it was a diversity hire.

You have to work four times as hard to get the same thing

that your white cis straight counterparts would get.

So that's why it was hurting my heart to,

to give you a critique that was less than glowing.

But I also feel, black queer to black queer,

that it feels important to help each other know

when we can lift up as well.

- I appreciate that.

- I love you.

- Today is not the day for subpar critiques.

Because we're so close to the end

and this is not the time to be screwing up.

- While all four of you may be little bozos at times,

it is no joke that there could only be one killer clown

to win tonight's challenge.

And one of you clearly rose to the occasion

to deliver the deadliest punchline.

The winner of tonight's killer queen challenge is,

- You said killer queen.

- I said killer queen?

- Yes.

- The winner of tonight's killer queen challenge is,

Wait, excuse me?

How dare you.

Someone get her out of here.

(everyone laughs)

The winner of tonight's killer clown challenge is,

Dahli.

- Thank you!

(Dahli vocalizes)

Crown the clown, yes it feels so good to fucking win.

And it was one of my favorites too, so I'm just like,

yes!

(Dahli laughs)

- Congratulations, Dahli.

You performed very well,

but I'm delighted to tell you that all four of you

still have one last extermination challenge to face

in order to help us decide

who will make it to the grand finale.

- The extermination challenges are fear-based trials

designed to test if you have what it takes

to remain in the competition.

They are a final chance for you to prove

that you embody the dangerous side of drag

that Dragula represents.

- For tonight's extermination

we will be taking you on location,

where you will participate in

our clown cart death race from hell.

(everyone laughs)

You will compete against each other

through a series of obstacles

in a race that could take you to the finish line,

or leave you in a heap of twisted metal.

- We will consider how well you did

in tonight's killer clown challenge,

along with how well you fared in the extermination,

and finally your overall power, performance, and presence

during your time here with us,

to decide which of you will go on to the finale

and which of you will die.

- Good luck uglies.

We'll see you at the finish line.

- I know that having two wins under my belt

is going to give me the confidence

to keep pushing through the rest of this,

but I do not feel like track record

is taken into consideration on this show.

- That was top four, everyone.

- Congrats, Dahli.

- Thank you.

- Welcome to the two winners club.

- [Dahli] I know two wieners. Just two wieners.

- I'm a little like, disappointed.

We're so close to top three and

the critiques were less than desirable today.

- Well, that's the thing too,

everyone but Dahli got good and bad critiques.

It would be a lie for anyone,

except for Dahli,

to say that they're not scared.

- I'm not scared.

- [Saint] I'm terrified.

- You're not scared?

- Nope.

- Not scared as in like, like shaking, but like,

- Mm-mmm.

- have a doubt or fear in your mind in any sense?

- I'm not worried.

- Okay. Well, I'm happy for you.

It is scary to be in this situation.

It is scary to be, possibly, not being in that top three.

I can see myself so clearly in that top three but,

I would be lying if I said I'm not shaking in my boots.

- I need to be in the top three.

I'm here for people who need to see themselves in me.

- I will say though, out of all of us,

I feel like you're going to be there.

No doubt about it.

- I have to be.

I think I'm going to make it to top three.

I think I have a very good track record in the competition,

and I have the second fastest car.

- I see Dahli, Saint, and me in the top three.

Dragula's top three, all three of them,

has to have Dragula in their fuckin' blood,

us three, we don't have anywhere else to go.

- I'm sorry, what?

You don't have anywhere else to go?

- No, as in like,

as in like, okay let me rephrase that.

- Physically, I do not have other places to go.

I am limited by my body,

but I also know that I do have Dragula in my blood.

Just because it doesn't look

like what you think it should look like,

doesn't mean it's not there.

I've had to build myself up on my own,

doing whatever I want, when the fuck I want,

and fuck everybody else for it,

either get with it or get out.

My entire fucking career.

There is nothing more punk than that. Are you kidding?

I'm a fucking hardcore bitch.

How can HoSo even say that I don't have Dragula in my blood?

I've literally been thrown on the ground by a clown,

hit in the knee with a bull,

in an electric chair,

covered in roaches,

and then just suffocated in latex.

I've more than proven myself.

All HoSo had to do was do a photo shoot.

I see top three being Saint, Dahli, and I.

Because we're seasoned professionals

and we know how the road works.

We know how to tour.

We know how to travel.

We know how to be organized.

And we know how to work with other people.

A lot of times during this competition

you've kind of been unaware of like, your surroundings,

and of other people's feelings, and personal space.

- Okay.

I think that you're too young,

and I think that you're not ready yet.

I think that you're unprepared for it.

In a couple of years, yes. Absolutely.

But for right now, no.

- Okay. And I respect,

again, I respect that you answered, honestly.

- HoSo is messy.

I share a backstage space with them,

I see what their stuff looks like,

they're literally all over the place.

- Do you have um, a makeup wipe?

Sigourney, do have makeup wipes on you right now?

Koco, do you have makeup wipes on you right now?

Does anybody have the iPod charger?

Do you have a cup?

- No, I couldn't find my,

- I'll figure it out.

I forgot to bring out my makeup wipe.

- I've got some for ya.

- I just think that they have bad backstage behavior.

And that's something to take into consideration

when choosing a winner.

This is going to be someone

that's going to be representing the brand

on and off stage.

And you have to be able to treat everyone,

not just the people that you're on stage with,

but the people backstage as well,

with respect.

- I know I can be a little hectic and unorganized,

but I'm never unprofessional.

- What do you guys think?

- I would pick Dahli,

myself,

and Sigourney.

(Saint screams)

HoSo's definitely unorganized.

I still love HoSo, but,

get together girl.

- I'm just gonna go with the top three

that's sitting on this couch right now,

and it has nothing to do with any kind of like,

who belongs here or what's valid, any of that.

It is simply basing it on track record

because that is the only diplomatic answer

I can come up with.

I fucking love you.

A lot.

(intense music)

(creepy circus music)

(groans)

(creepy circus music continues)

(upbeat circus music)

(HoSo screams)

(cart engines roar)

(Dahli chuckles)

- Uh, oh.

(laughter)

(HoSo screams)

(Dahli screams)

- No,

these bitches are supposed to be dead!

(Saint laughs)

(Dahli screams)

(indistinct)

(record slows and distorts)

(HoSo laughs)

(upbeat circus music)

(thunder claps)

(suspenseful music)

(eerie music)

(intense music)

(knife stabs)

(blood splatters)

(laughter)

(upbeat electronic music)

(scream)
