Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race...

You'll be performing a brand-new retro hit.

♪ He's a bad boy, baby, baby ♪

♪ Stay away ♪

Watch out, Johnny!

Jasmine.

I could see you thinking about the dance steps

instead of being the character.

- Kerri. - Your body's amazing,

but I don't wanna walk away just remembering your body.

I wanna walk away remembering you.

Daya Betty.

Just when you needed to,

you've hit the pedal to the metal.

Con-drag-ulations.

You are the winner of this week's challenge.

Jasmine Kennedie, shantay you stay.

Kerri, sashay away.

- Holy fuck. - Ugh.

Oh, my goodness.

I feel a sense of relief

because I am not the one eliminated.

But at the same time,

it's a bittersweet moment just because I sent home Kerri.

"You ladies are truly a blessing,

and you each are All Stars."

Kerri!

That was a lot.

She made me realize

that you have to live your life authentically 100% yourself,

and not hold anything back.

She represented everything I wanted to be,

and I was such a big fan of her before coming in here,

and I feel horrible

that I was the one that sent her home.

It's just really, really hard

just because I wanna be in this competition so bad,

but I do have this, like, looming feeling

of that, like, I did something, like, wrong.

Kerri is a very rare, beautiful soul.

We love you, Kerri.

- We love you. - Love you, twin.

And you'll always be in our hearts.

Jasmine's really upset to be the one

that knocked Kerri out.

But this is a competition,

so she needs to focus on the bigger picture

and really just set her sights on the prize.

Con-drag-ulations, Miss Daya.

Finally, bitch.

Yes, girl.

It feels really fucking good.

It feels so good!

You're, like, bitch, I wanna win something, shit.

And to see you do it,

I think we're all just, like, well deserved, yeah.

Well, and I hope nobody, like, takes offense

if I've come off a little bitchy or, like, whatever.

The past couple of weeks, I'm just, like,

really trying to keep my head in the game right now, so...

Girl, you're here to win.

I know, and I hope y'all bitches are here, too,

you know, 'cause if you're not,

then why the fuck are you here?

That's just how I think about it, so...

Daya's very open about how competitive she is,

and that's something I appreciate,

because I'm not very open with how competitive I am.

It is okay to feel a little cutthroat at times.

Is anybody surprised or confused

by any of the placements tonight?

For the most part I totally understand,

like, the tops and the bottoms of the week.

But the safe girls kind of, like,

we're trying to do the math as well, and figure out,

'cause, like, we did say

that Miss DeJa might have been in the bottom.

The safe queens' opinions does not matter.

I met this challenge head-on, so their opinions?

It doesn't matter. Fuck them.

This is a really tight race.

There's a lot of wins on the board right now.

There's six of us that have a win right now,

and Miss Angie has two.

I'm the only one that hasn't won.

I haven't won either.

No, you haven't won?

I want a win. I need a win.

I'm hoping that I can throw

some, you know, pearls on the stage,

I can trip someone.

Something very subtle that I can get away with.

I don't have, like, a strategy mindset, I really don't.

Maybe I should.

Oh! Oh.

I knocked over someone's powder.

I'll buy you a new one.

With what, win money? No.

- You shady bitch! - Y'all is shady!

I've been a mess today.

I dropped glitter, powder...

Choreography.

You fucking bitch!

I think it is an incredibly stupid idea

to count anybody out.

The moment you start, like, looking past somebody

is the moment you're setting yourself up to be proven wrong

and send your ass home.

Read me to filth.

Well, we know DeJa can't, so can someone else?

You two-faced Gemini bitch!

Aah!

- Yay! - Ow!

It is another day in the werkroom.

I am feeling so good coming off of a fresh win,

but I'm going to pretend that it didn't really happen.

That way I don't get too caught up in it.

Hello, hello, hello!

All right!

And then there were eight.

- Yes. - Yes.

They say it's a man's world,

but when it comes to snatching attention,

nobody does it better than a drag queen.

Yes.

So for today's mini-challenge,

you need to photobomb

some of the world's most famous men.

Warning. Your photo may go viral,

but a quick trip to the clinic will clear that right up.

And to help you stand out,

feel free to use bold accessories

courtesy of Snag Tights.

Okay, ladies, you've got 15 minutes

to get into quick drag.

Ready, set, go!

- Get out the way! - Careful of the legs.

Oh, my God, I look stupid, I look crazy!

So today, we're just gonna be really embracing natural beauty.

All right, ladies, time is up.

All right, first up,

it's Daya Betty photobombing Lil Nas X

at the Tom Ford Fashion Show.

I really wanna squeeze his nipples.

Ooh, yeah.

Nipples!

Ooh, yes, get it all in there.

Emote!

Ugh!

Through your face, not your ass.

Ugh!

She wants some Big Nas X.

Angeria photobombing David Beckham,

Mr. Posh Spice, if ya nasty.

You realize any hole is a goal?

- Uh-huh. - Bend it like Beckham.

Lady Camden photobombing Sasha Baron Cohen.

Can you bend those legs behind your head?

Aah!

Apparently I can!

Bad Borat. Slap it, yes!

You cheeky bastard.

Willow Pill photobombing Jake Gyllenhaal

walking his dog in L.A.

You know what we're gonna do?

We're gonna do a washed-up Mary Lou Retton for this.

This is from the 1963 Olympics.

Ride that dog like you really mean it.

And sniff that dog's ass.

Sniff it hard.

Bosco photobombing Pee-wee Herman.

Eye to the camera.

Now brown eye to the camera.

Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer.

Jorgeous photobombing Leonardo DiCaprio.

She's queen of the world!

Jasmine Kennedie photobombing Billy Porter at the Met Gala.

Strike a pose, darling.

You look like a pterodactyl.

Rawk!

Billy and Jasmine, now with wings.

DeJa Skye photobombing Shawn Mendes at the MTV VMAs.

Hi, lady.

Hello.

Ooh. Oh, my God, DeJa.

Why'd you have to be so sexy?

Me!

New couple alert!

Can you finger him as you flip him off?

Yeah. Mm.

Yeah.

DeJa, do you love it when he calls you senorita?

Wow, the camera loves you all,

but one of you set the Interwebs on fire.

The winner of today's mini-challenge is...

Willow Pill.

Con-drag-ulations.

You've won a cash prize of $2.500.

- Werk! - Oh, my God!

Ladykins, I've got good news.

RuPaul's DragCon is back and better than ever.

Our tribe gathers in person

to celebrate love, light, and laughter.

In addition to the exclusive performances,

the sickening shopping,

and the star-studded meet-and-greets,

my favorite part is the DragCon panels.

It's where today's most sizzling personalities

discuss hot topics that we can all relate to.

Now, for this week's maxi-challenge,

you'll work in two groups to tackle the highly fascinating

and deeply complex topic of... menzes.

- Oh! - Ooh!

- Uh-huh. - Mens.

Whether you wanna talk about your sugar daddy,

your real daddy, your blood brothers,

or your brother from another mother,

you need to lead a dynamic discussion

that's both real and real enter-tainting.

Yes, oh, my God.

Now, Willow, you won the mini-challenge,

so you get to choose your team.

Ooh!

I'm really happy,

because I didn't wanna get stuck

with a group that I didn't want to work with.

But I'm also afraid that whoever's left

is, like, oh, I'm just, like, chopped liver.

But, you know,

they're gonna have to get over it, so I don't even care.

Willow, who do you choose first?

Okay, I've never gotten to work with DeJa.

Yay!

Willow picks me first.

B-b-b-b-boom.

Angie, come on over, bitch.

Damn, Willow, what you gonna do with all that ass?

The last person I would like to work with more is Camden.

Yay!

Wait, those are your choices?

My thoughts exactly.

And that means Daya Betty, Bosco,

Jasmine Kennedie, and Jorgeous, you are on the opposing team.

I have to say I have observed Daya's face.

She doesn't seem the most excited

with the people on her team.

Ladies, as you prepare your panels,

each team needs to pick one queen

to act as the moderator of your panel.

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

I am a little nervous.

The other team, they've all been playing the game super strong.

However, Willow puts me in a group with Jasmine.

Jasmine's like an energy vampire,

and that is not good.

#TeamLeftovers.

I'm fucking excited. DragCon panel, bitch!

Today's maxi-challenge is we are actually gonna do

our own DragCon panel on the subject of menzeseseses.

I don't know about anybody else, but I love men.

How about you?

There's more to men than just penis.

- Not to me, but to most people. - But to most people, yeah.

So we do need to assign a moderator.

Have you thought about that?

I am thinking

I would like the moderator to be you.

I was thinking the same thing.

Yes, I'm down.

I think you're the best person to keep us all together.

So you'll be kicking off each topic.

DeJa the moderator.

Is this, like, a come up with a character type thing,

or is this, like, a...

No, we're ourselves.

- Yeah, ourselves. - We're ourselves.

I think the best way I can imagine it

is as if I'm talking at home

- with all my friends. - Yeah.

Because I hate the three of you.

I do feel like we have good chemistry together.

I don't see the other team

as members hanging out in their daily lives together.

I'm thinking that they might run into trouble

with just general chemistry and flow.

So the idea of, like, a panel,

where does that take you immediately?

I'm thinking, like, instructional, infomercials,

and, like, Steve Jobs

revealing, like, a new iPhone type of situation.

I have never been on a panel,

but I'm not scared to talk to people.

I worked in customer service since I was, like, 13.

There's an art form to being a very salty barista,

and I am an extremely salty barista.

"Select a moderator to drive the conversation."

First of all, what's a moderator?

A moderator is someone who basically, like, delegates

and puts, like, the direction of the conversation.

And, like, making sure that, like,

we're engaging with each other.

If possible, I would love to take the moderator role.

No, no, no, no.

Not today.

No.

Are you gonna be able to cut off whenever it's not, like...

You know, 'cause a moderator just has to get to the point.

Yes. In terms of that,

I'm, like, able to give you guys rooms and things like that,

and then if there's, like, a little, like, dead space,

I could always fill in time with things like that.

Here's the thing. Jasmine knows how to talk,

but a moderator also needs to know when to stop talking.

- I feel like... - Well, it feels like...

Bosco, what are you thinking about?

Right now, I am kind of feeling the moderator role,

if that isn't stepping on anybody's toes

- for the most part. - Work.

And Bosco, if you were to open,

I feel like it would be very strong, bitch.

'Cause that is what's going to lead us in on a positive note,

or we're gonna flatline fast.

And I feel more comfortable with Bosco.

- No offense, Jasmine. - No, it's okay.

No, I'd rather work collaborative as a team

and make it better than just try to take it

just because I was in the bottom two last week

- and trying to, like, stand out. - Great.

It has always been a challenge for me

not to over-talk or overrun a conversation.

Since this is a talking challenge,

my biggest struggle in this

is going to make sure that I am talking enough,

but I'm also not over-talking others.

Hey, mamikins.

Hey, mama.

Now, is it raining menzes up in here?

- Up in here! - Oh, yes!

Eew!

Team Willow, come on over.

So we're talking about menzes.

Yes.

Tell me some of the topics

that you will be covering with this panel.

Well, we wanted to do a mixture of having a lot of fun

and interjecting a lot of comedy,

but also some serious stuff.

So, like, fatherhood is a great place

for us to tell about our stories,

and so we wanna have a great ebb and flow of entertainment,

but also realness.

Ebb and flow. They used to live down the street from me.

Yeah, they were whores. Yeah.

So what is the theses of your father talk?

What's your relationship like with your father?

- I don't talk to my father. - Why not?

When we were 14, he up and left us.

And my mother suffers with bipolar and schizophrenia,

so she couldn't take care of herself, let alone two children.

And so, who took care of the family after that?

We kind of separated.

My mother and my brother moved somewhere else,

and then I was taken in by a guardian.

And he really kind of gave me

the father that I've always longed for.

Yeah. Wow.

So who's been to DragCon? Raise your hand.

So, Angeria, you've never been.

Get the fuck out.

Now, who's also been to panels?

I've actually done a panel before.

At another Con?

How dare you!

No, but I've done panels in pageants.

And how did that go?

I did not win the category.

Why didn't you win?

My strategy then was to kind of wait and then speak.

The person that did win,

they were more straight out the gate, this is what I think.

Well, I think that's a good point you brought up,

because a lot of times when people are in these situations,

and this comes up for people who may be shy,

you think, oh, I have to act a certain kind of way.

Just be yourself.

Talk like you're talking to your friends.

It has to be fluid and conversational.

Camden, I can see

there's a tentativeness in your demeanor.

What is it that you're afraid of people finding out about you?

I don't know.

Like, I'm afraid of, like, sometimes looking stupid.

Okay, number one, let's just sit on that for a minute.

You don't have time to be studying other people,

what they're thinking.

But we let that other voice get in the way.

Just be yourself.

When you were performing One Way or the Other,

where you're doing this thing where you...

and you were interpreting and all that stuff,

connect to that.

Apply that to everything,

and you'll win yourself some more fucking challenges.

Yeah.

This is one of those challenges

where I could just recoil and tense up and, like, bomb.

I need to not do

the Homer Simpson disappearing into the bushes.

This is an opportunity for us to really get in there

and look under the hood

and see how this engine of masculinity works.

Still have fun with it,

but make sure that people walk away from your panel

with some real, tangible information.

I feel like Ru is looking at me, going, bitch.

She's looking for that same looseness

and, like, crazy freedom

that I felt I had as Freddie Mercury.

Okay, Bosco, Daya Betty, Jorgeous, Jasmine.

So we're talking about menzes.

Yes, our favorite subject.

I know it's your favorite subject.

What about you, Daya Betty? Have you been in a relationship?

Yeah, I've been in a relationship for five years.

With Satan?

With Satan, yeah, yeah.

Uh-huh. What's Satan like in bed?

Actually, not that good.

Very disappointing, to be honest, Ru.

Are you all getting along well?

How are you two getting along?

We're doing pretty good.

I know, we always are at each other's throat,

- back and forth, but... - Why is that?

We're not at each other's throat.

Not... Frenemy-ish.

We're not at each other's throat.

What are you?

Sometimes she just doesn't know when to shut her mouth.

Yeah, and sometimes she likes

to comment on things that don't need to be commented on.

And sometimes she likes to talk over people.

- Exactly. - Uh-huh.

In a way, she's like a little sister...

- Yeah. - That I wanna bash her head

into the concrete floor.

But there's a part of me that loves her.

So now this is interesting,

because there's a panel where you're all talking and stuff.

How will you be able to take a slice of the pie

and then leave some for the rest of the kids?

I think it's honestly

by kind of how I'm formatting my situation.

I'm gonna be not necessarily dominating the conversation,

but more kind of being, like,

the person they come to with the question,

if that makes sense.

Doesn't make sense.

Now, have you workshopped this topic enough?

You know, if you were in Lou Grant's newsroom...

Don't question my reference...

You would go, you know, let's hear all the ideas,

put them all on the table, and let's sort through

to find out the ones that pack the most power.

Now, this has gotta be fun, because this is DragCon.

But you have to be able to hit some points

so that the people listening have some takeaway from this.

In fact, Jorgeous, have you learned anything about men

in this workshop that you didn't know?

No, honestly.

I would worry about that.

Your relationship to femininity,

it's very clear cut.

Where does that come from?

Ever since I was five years old I always grew up dancing,

and, like, I watched ninja movies,

and I was always in tune with my body ever since I was younger.

There's baby pictures of me posing as a... like...

I know there are.

And I'm just, like, with my hip out.

Did your father say, "Boy, don't you do that"?

Yes. I used to walk around on my tiptoes,

and my grandpa and my dad

used to get so mad at me for doing that.

Really? And why do you think that is?

I feel like because

they didn't want me to be feminine whatsoever.

- Because? - I don't know why.

Like, I was just doing me.

I was just having fun.

I just felt comfortable with myself.

Now, this is good shit right here.

These are the kinds of things I want you to workshop.

I mean, this right now

is an opportunity for you to dig deep

and sort it all out, get it on the table.

Give us some takeaway with this thing.

Otherwise, you might be lip syncing this week.

Ru's definitely stressing

that this needs to be personal,

but at the same time,

she's also really stressing that this needs to be fun.

It's hard to say how this will go.

Well, thank you, ladies. We'll talk later.

- Thank you. - Let's do it.

- Thank you, Miss RuPaul. - Thanks, Ru.

I'm leaving today thinking that this could be a moment for me.

However, I don't know until I see what my teammates do.

Like, what is a moderator without content to moderate?

So this could very well blow up in my face

or be my saving grace.

Maxine!

Today we get to do our DragCon panel

in front of the judges.

I'm feeling so excited, super confident.

Our team is gonna knock it out of the park.

- Maxine! - Maxine!

Who's excited that we get to do DragCon?

- Yeah! - I'm so happy about it.

How are you feeling, Miss Jasmine?

I'm feeling very good.

I think our group is doing a lot better than we were.

Yeah, I was very confused at first.

Yeah. Now we kind of have an idea

of how it's running and things like that,

so I just have to make sure

I'm letting room for other people to talk.

And I think with how we practiced it,

I did a good job, so...

Is Jasmine learning something?

Am I growing and developing?

- Oh, my God. - What is this?

I don't think my team

has the utmost confidence in me in this challenge,

but I am very much for the team,

and I am going to take the critiques and dial it back.

I feel like I am on the right track.

Something I've definitely, like, learned a lot

from, like, creating,

is to not get attached to anything.

If something's not working, drop it.

Your brain is capable of coming up with new ideas.

I definitely learned that being here, honestly.

'Cause, like, bitch, we rehearse something

or practice something, it never...

- Turns out? - Yes.

Sometimes when I get in front of a mic,

I get hella flustered, I get hella nervous.

But, honestly, the head bitch is Bosco,

and, bitch, we got Jasmine, we got Daya,

and we got me, a whole group of bad bitches.

So we got this.

So I'm wearing, like, a dark red wig,

and I feel like I'm gonna look like my mum today.

- Love that for you. - Like my actual mum.

Do you feel like you look like your mom at all

when you're in drag sometimes?

Yeah, the first time I got in drag,

a lot of my mum's friends were, like,

"Oh, my God, you are your mother."

"You are your mother."

- You are your... - "I am your father!"

And I am your faja!

And I have to say, Willow,

like, thank you so much for choosing us.

- Yes. - Because honestly, like,

I've been wanting to work with you for a while.

You do a great job, and you know what I like about you a lot?

Tell me what you like about me.

I am. I'm gonna tell you.

I really like that you are quiet,

but you do not, like, play the back, though.

Like, you're still gonna have a voice.

- Yeah. - I think you realize

you don't have to be the loudest person in the room,

you know, to still make a point.

I feel no need to bark.

Yes. I noticed that about you.

I want another win so bad.

I wasn't even happy, like, being safe last week.

I wanna be back on top, and I feel confident this week.

I just... I need to bag another one.

See the drag queens in their natural habitat,

undisturbed, quiet as a mouse.

As the eyeliner applies and the lash attaches,

careful, as not to disturb her.

I don't like you as you look so creepy at me.

Quiet.

Careful not to disturb.

Oh!

- Wow. - Was that Lady?

That was Willow.

That's not a lady, that's Godzilla.

That's Godwillow.

Y'all bitches are crazy.

Maxine!

♪ Cover girl, put the bass in your walk ♪

♪ Head to toe, let your whole body talk ♪

- Yes, Dynasty. - Yes!

And what?

Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.

She's never met a man she didn't like.

Michelle Visage.

Well, there was this one guy years ago in New Jersey

in a park at night under the jungle gym.

Now, I didn't get his name, so let's just call him Floppy.

Style superstar Carson Kressley.

Now, Carson, what's your favorite thing about men?

Yes.

You learned that from Zsa Zsa.

I sure did.

And the men all pause for Nicole Byer.

Nicole, what's your favorite thing about men?

Dick.

Well, what qualities do you look for in a man?

Dick.

Who's your favorite Van Dyke?

- Oh. - Dick.

This week we challenged our queens

to info-taint us

in DragCon panel discussions about menzes.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win.

RuPaul's DragCon presents our first panel.

Well, hello, and welcome to our panel.

A Work in Progress.

Now, we're gonna be talking

about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Speaking of ugly, do you wanna meet our panelists?

We have Miss Lady Camden.

Hello, you sexy bitches.

We have Miss Wiwwow Piww.

Hello, darlings.

And of course, Miss Angeria.

But you can call me Angie.

Now, the topics at hand,

we are gonna be talking about hot mens.

Mm-hmm. Fatherhood, and relationships and sex.

So let me tell you, ladies, what makes a man sexy?

Now, I can say for me, I love body hair.

I like to be exfoliated when I'm giving him...

A hug?

A hug, yes.

I've heard you give great hugs.

That's exactly what I was gonna go for.

Now, Willow, what makes a man sexy to you?

Well, it's complicated for me, because I'm an anarchist

who believes men should be punished

for their crimes against the world,

but I do find them very attractive.

Okay. Okay.

So I really like a feminine man.

And in the gay community,

there's this whole masc-for-masc thing,

which if you don't know,

means a masculine man looking for another masculine man,

like Ross and Carson.

Yes, yes.

But I like femininity.

There are people that actually like to call me a drag lesbian,

because I actually like to date other drag queens.

Oh, kiki to kaikai.

Yeah, it's something that I think

is so sexy about a man that I could share a wig with.

It really is.

Now let's do something fun.

Who is your celebrity crush?

Blake Lively.

Blake... that's a...

You mean Blake Shelton?

Oh. Blake Shelton.

You didn't even get the man's name right.

Aah!

I love Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

- Baby! - Yes!

I need a man that can handle a loveseat or a futon or two,

if you know what I mean.

I have noticed in the recent years, though,

dad bod has kind of become the quintessential ideal body,

and that's gonna lead me to fatherhood.

Now, Miss Angeria,

how was your relationship with your father?

Well, I actually have an amazing relationship with my dad.

He's accepted me being gay and doing drag,

and that is a lot, especially where I come from.

You know, I'm from Sparta, Georgia, baby,

and that is very rare,

and I just feel like there are men out there

who are led to believe that loving your gay child

somehow makes you less masculine.

Well, I'm here to tell you that it does not.

Period. What about you, Willow?

Well, my dad died when I was 11.

- Oh, babe. - And it was hard

because we'd had a rocky relationship.

I could tell that he knew that I was gay.

And it's not hard when, you know,

I'd run around wearing a sequined headband as a bra.

Does it still fit?

Yeah, I wore it for my entrance.

Completely.

I just wanna say to, like, any parents out there,

don't wait to embrace your child

or figure out what's going on with them.

Just do it now.

'Cause there might not be a later.

Life took that away from me and my dad.

What about you, Camden?

You know, I'll admit

I definitely hid a lot of who I am

from my dad from a young age.

And so I always lived in this fear

of what he would say, what he was thinking.

So I almost trained myself to be cautious.

A lot of those feelings came back up

when I started to do drag.

I felt very, like,

I don't want him to know who this is.

When he found out, he called me up

and he said, "I love you,

but I'm so heartbroken that you held this from me."

So I think sometimes it's up to the child

to be open and willing and ready to receive that love,

'cause sometimes your fear is holding you back,

which it was for me, so...

I actually do not have

a relationship with my father at all.

I do remember specifically I was eight years old,

and I remember calling a boy cute.

My dad chased me around the yard, beat my ass,

and told me, "You do not say that about a boy,

because I'm not gonna raise a pussy."

And that stuck with me

up until maybe I was 18 when I came out,

even though the world knew, hello, I am gay.

And I'm so glad we're having this conversation,

because it's not the child's responsibility

to make their parent feel comfortable.

Also, I wanna see more dads in drag.

Yes, yes, more drag queens that look like DeJa.

Yes.

Now, who's single?

Oh, okay, we all lonely. Got it.

Now, Willow, is this by choice?

Yeah, I mean, I've never had sex or been in a relationship

because I only do anal.

Okay.

No, on a serious note, I do find dating difficult,

because out of drag, I'm not a very confident person.

I have a chronic illness,

and it makes me look really young

and a little, like, sickly.

So I feel like out of drag,

I look like a sad Victorian doll.

And then in drag, I look like a sad Victorian doll,

but with whore makeup.

And then I also have a disability

in my fingers and my wrists,

so I give really bad handjobs, which is tragic.

- I heard that about you. - Yeah.

You know something that I think is so difficult

about dating these days?

Hooking up.

And I think it's because

you don't see many men working for it.

Getting sex these days is like ordering a pizza.

You just call it in

and it shows up at your door 15 minutes,

hot and ready.

All right, let's open the floor for some final thoughts.

Well, we called this Men: A Work in Progress

because it really is.

I mean, this is all fun to talk and joke about,

but this is gonna be work for generations to come,

so that the people coming don't have to feel

a lot of this pain that we've talked about it.

And we talk about it in a fun, humorous way,

but the pain really is there,

and we don't want that for the rest of the world.

- Not at all. - It's gonna take a lot of work.

And to my dads out there that are listening,

man up, take responsibility, and love your child.

And if you need a date, call DeJa.

And if you're Blake Lively, don't call me.

Don't call Camden.

Well, thank you guys so much

for joining us for our DragCon panel.

I wanna thank our panelists.

Thank you guys, Camden, Willow, and Angeria,

and, of course, I was your host, Miss DeJa Skye.

Good night.

I think that my team knocked it out of the park.

I don't know what the other team finna be giving,

but they definitely got some competition on this one.

RuPaul's DragCon presents our next panel.

Welcome to the second panel of the day,

Electric Boogaloo Part II,

now with more men.

When I think of men, so many questions come to mind.

Questions like, why?

For what?

And honestly?

So I'm gonna need a little bit of help.

Let's meet our panel.

We have the multifaceted yet complex talents of Daya Betty.

Thank you for that introduction.

You're so welcome.

The incredibly quiet and subtle Jasmine Kennedie.

Who, me? Hi, y'all.

And maybe she's born with it,

or maybe she's born for this.

It's Jorgeous.

Hello-teous!

And I will be your moderator today, Bosco.

Let's talk about how men navigate the world

in a section I'd like to call you've got male... privilege.

Jasmine, do you think it's easier for men than...

Oh, my God, yes.

Oh, my God, men have it so much easier than women.

I can go on a tangent,

but I'm gonna keep it short and sweet for y'all.

Thank God.

But basically, male privilege is kind of this thing

that's kind of fundamental in society.

It's taught to us at a very, very young age.

If you could take it back to, like, middle school,

men have the privilege to kind of wear

and get to do whatever they wanted to do.

But women, I mean, God forbid if they wore a spaghetti strap

or a skirt a little too low.

You know, I think right now in society

we put too much pressure on how women...

Or children or women are supposed to look.

Like, the dress code isn't there technically,

so I think it should really be taught

that a woman can wear whatever she wants,

and she shouldn't be judged for it.

I remember being at parties,

hearing guys talk about, you know, their numbers,

how many girls they slept with.

And everyone was rallying around them,

being like, "Yeah, bro," you know, that kind of thing.

And if a girl were to be doing that,

she was slut-shamed immediately.

And that's kind of something that is taught at a young age

and brought into adulthood, unfortunately.

Oh, so what we're trying to say

is this is something that follows them from boys to men.

Nineties dab.

I don't think every man is just, like, walking around,

like, utilizing their male privilege as a weapon.

I feel like a lot of it

comes from, like, a societal expectation,

and I feel like sometimes that expectation is internalized

and turns into something that Britney Spears might call toxic,

which is gonna bring us to our next topic,

which is toxic masculinity.

I feel like drag queens

have a very nuanced relationship with toxic masculinity.

Jorgeous, I wanna talk to you in particular.

You've told me that your dad is, like,

a really big fan of you and your drag.

Has he always been so supportive of your feminine side?

Honestly, I knew about toxic masculini...

Toxic masculinity at a very young age.

I mean, when my mom was crowning with me,

little did she know she was gonna get a big old queen.

And I used to walk around my house on my tiptoes,

with my hip out, dancing all over the place,

and my dad and grandpa really tried to suppress that

at a really young age,

and I never really understood why

until doing this panel and being here at DragCon.

It was all out of fear.

And honestly, he came to one of my shows,

he saw how happy it made me,

he saw that the people that I was around were so positive,

and he saw the money that I was making, too,

to take care of myself.

And after the show, he was like,

"You know what? That's my boy."

Like, "I'm so very proud of him."

When I came out, my parents

were like, "Okay, we can still love you,

but, like, don't talk about it."

My dad in particular was like,

"Don't talk about it. I don't want you to be unsafe.

I don't want your siblings to be unsafe."

And I feel like that came from a place of fear,

and that made him feel insecure in his masculinity,

and it made him feel scared for me.

And, like, I feel like my dad's, like, on the right track.

Like, he loves me, he's supportive,

but, like, he's still not quite there.

Like, he still calls drag my dancing.

He hasn't gone to my shows.

So I feel like drag is, like,

the antidote to this toxic masculinity, though.

I think he just needs to see all of this,

and then, like, we'll really get to that next step.

Bitch, if you're toxitive... Toxic and masculine, bitch,

meet me outside in the parking lot.

I have a couple words for y'all.

She's small and feisty! You better werk!

Well, I feel like we've spent a lot of time

kind of bashing on men so far, so I wanna flip this around.

Sorry 'bout it.

So we've talked about turn-offs.

Let's take this to turn-ons for our final segment.

Hot menzeseses. I believe that's plural.

Let's turn this over to our resident dick dog, Daya Betty.

That's me! Yes, thank you.

Yeah, you're an expert on this, girl.

- Thank you. - Tell me what turns you on.

Well, okay, the first turn-on I remember was watching WWE.

You got the Chris Jerichos,

the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, DeJa.

You know, John Cena.

I was always so enthralled

watching them on the TV,

getting nose-to-nose, drenched in sweat.

You know, they wore little, tiny outfits,

and I always noticed they had rock-hard nipples.

- Okay. - I made it my mission.

Like, the first week in college,

I'm like, I'm gonna find my WWE Smackdown wrestler.

Now, right now, at this point of my life,

I need a man with a mind like Bill Nye the Science Guy,

and then someone with nipples like Carson Kressley.

Thank you for noticing.

Jasmine, what about you, my friend?

My turn-ons? Oh, my God.

Yeah, tell me what turns you on.

I mean, I know this is, like, geeky,

but I love a gamer.

I love someone who gets down, you know, at 12:00 at night,

just gaming all night.

It's just, like, I don't know, it's my favorite.

- Miss Jorgeous? - Oh, my God.

Tell me about your turn-ons.

I love a guy who's way taller than me.

I like to feel small and itty-bitty.

How are you gonna find a guy taller than you?

You're really asking for the world over here.

But I love my guys with...

You know?

I like my guys a little bit, like, heftier and furrier.

Like, if y'all are building a man,

I'm building a bear, for sure.

Like, that's what does it for me.

I like somebody who's like a loveseat that walks around.

Thank you so much for joining us for our panel,

Electric Boogaloo II, now with more men.

Ooh!

My name is Bosco.

We have Jorgeous, Jasmine, and Daya Betty.

Thank you so much.

Thank y'all. Thank y'all so much!

♪ The world is your runway ♪

Category is Shoulder Pads.

Up first, DeJa Skye.

Whoo, girl, she plays linebacker

for Team Coco Chanel, darling.

I am giving a nod to Chanel,

a nod to linebackers.

I'm trying not to walk like the Tin Man,

because the jacket is very stiff.

I feel absolutely silly and slammin'.

I'm talkin' square bids to you, baby.

I own 51% of this football team.

Lady Camden.

A nutcracker.

That's what they called me in high school.

Get those nutcrackers away from my face!

I am giving you

every ballet dancer's nightmare,

The Nutcracker! Yes!

I'm transforming from little old man nutcracker

to beautiful temptress of the night.

I am just glistening, glittering, new set of lips.

When all are asleep and there's no noise in the house,

not even a peep from a mouse,

she comes to life, honey, and she comes after your man!

Honey, she's going to epaulette you have it!

Willow Pill.

Apparently, the stock market has spiked.

I wanted to bring a look

that was, like, menswear in the year 2079.

It's like I'm the manager of an evil pop group

that's taking over the world,

and our name is Willow and the Pills,

something that screams edge and punk

and is equally in the past and in the future.

It's business, it's sex, it's power,

and, of course, there's always an element of camp.

Yes, honey, I think she's on those Willow red pills.

Attaché, you stay.

Angeria.

Shoulder pads, check.

Houndstooth, check. Crown, check.

Ooh, I'm seeing a pattern here.

I wanna show the judges right now

that I can go all the way outside of my box.

So I am giving you a full Club Kid houndstooth fantasy.

I done put on me

a nice, sickening black lip for the kids.

I really want to sell this whole fantasy.

Who let the hounds out?

Who, who, who, who?

Bosco.

When it rains, it whores.

My shoulder pad look is neon Blade Runner.

I'm feeling very futuristic '80s.

I've got my Dragon Ball Z shoulder pads on.

It's like if the Morton salt girl, Dick Tracy,

and a villain from Power Rangers

got rolled all into one look.

Ladies and gentlemen, Dale Bozzio.

Nobody walks in L.A.

I'll see you on The Weather Channel.

Jorgeous.

She wore blue sequins.

Pomp-adorable.

Bitch, I'm giving you Selena meets Prince.

I'm giving you pompadour realness.

Natural edges, of course.

I'm giving you some of the Selena moves.

Girl, I'm living my best Selena fantasy right now.

Y'all can't tell me nothing at this point.

I guess Blue's clue was it's stunning.

Jasmine Kennedie.

The puce is loose.

Okay!

Ooh, dayglo she betta do!

Today, I'm giving you very supermodel, very serious,

hands on hips, smug face, just mean-mugging the judges,

letting them know that I can do simplicity.

I don't have all the accoutrements

and accessories going on right now.

I'm giving you Power Puff Girl villain,

and I am just letting them know

that I am not taking anybody's bullshit.

Radio-attractive.

Reclaiming her lime.

Reclaiming her lime.

Daya Betty.

Tank Girl!

Mad Maxine.

Don't ask, do tell.

I stomp down the runway

looking like a really fierce G.I. Joe doll

mixed with a gladiator bitch from hell.

Ooh, you might need that.

I love a little bit of androgyny with my look.

Bitchy Betty is tough and ready.

She's enlisted in the hair force.

Uh-huh. Reporting for duty, G.I. Ho.

Welcome, ladies.

This week you competed as teams,

but tonight you'll be judged as individuals.

Now, when I call your name, please step forward.

DeJa Skye.

Willow Pill.

Bosco.

Jorgeous.

Jasmine Kennedie.

Daya Betty.

Ladies, you represent the tops and the bottoms of the week.

Lady Camden, Angeria,

you are safe.

You may leave the stage.

Now it's time for the judges' critiques.

Up first, DeJa Skye.

DeJa! You comin' for Whoopi's gig at The View?

Because you kept it moving, but also it was funny.

Also, it was, like, educational and heartfelt.

I was, like, tee hee hee. Ooh, wow, you know?

I think you did a really good job at keeping it moving.

There were moments that you felt a little stiff to me,

but when you gave into it, it was great.

Keep loosening up. Keep giving in to it.

Carson, did Michelle say,

"Keep loosening up, keep giving in to it?"

Yes, yes.

It's, like, I feel like I say that a lot.

Where'd my stool go?

This look is what I live for,

because this to me is like high drag,

because you're giving us camp,

you're giving us a sense of humor.

You have the ridiculous shoulders,

and that was the whole thrust of the challenge.

We look for the ridiculous.

That extra wink, that's what turns me on personally.

When we had a shoulder pad storyline,

this is what I expected.

Thank you.

Up next, Willow Pill.

With something like shoulder pads,

that's Mama Ru saying, "Do it big."

So I feel like you could have gone bigger with this look.

It's gorgeous, I love the construction of it.

Of course, I love the crystal pinstripe.

I just want more shoulder pad, too.

And then during the panel, you know how to tell a joke.

I give really bad handjobs.

Like, you know a setup and you know a punch,

and, like, you were honest.

- Thank you. - You were just so relatable.

You still allowed natural room to laugh and joke about it

and not take your situation too seriously.

And I learned so much more about you,

which is what we wanted to happen.

So on-point with your outlook on life.

Some people get stuck in the darkness of it,

but you have clearly transcended it,

and that's when it becomes a blast.

It is a blast.

You get more and more fierce every time you come out here.

Just fabulous.

Thank you.

Up next, Bosco.

Tonight on the runway, this is a bit simple for me.

- Okay. - It's a bra with a corset,

panties, and a raincoat.

I kind of like that bronze bustier,

I like the eyewear.

It's fun. It's very Dale Bozzio.

Do you know Dale Bozzio?

She was the lead singer of Missing Persons.

That's who you look like tonight.

Is she pretty?

- Oh, she's gorgeous. - Okay, good.

- Yeah. - Love that, then.

And then during the panel, I thought you were really funny.

Menzeseses. I believe that's plural.

It didn't feel rehearsed, it felt like

you were super present, and I love that.

I think you were fucking hilarious.

I thought you were a superstar, a stand-out in the group.

Every good talk show host needs to be an exquisite listener.

You were in it, you were living it,

so you were able to listen, and then you were able to react,

and that's why your comedy was so natural.

You were born to do moderating and hosting.

You're very funny.

You had me at Electric Boogaloo.

It's all about the breakdancing craze of the early '80s.

You know, for us sen... sen... sen... uh...

we love those kind of references.

Werk.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Up next, Jorgeous.

Hello-teous!

This is a really gorgeous silhouette.

I love that it's a jumpsuit, I love the materials.

I mean, this material just catches the light.

But I don't really get shoulder pads from it.

I get puffy shoulders.

And then in your panel,

for me, I think you receded a little bit.

Knew about toxic masculini... Toxic masculinity.

And I felt like you were self-conscious,

and you'd stumble over yourself,

and then you'd get mad at yourself, and I'd see you.

It's a panel, so you could just be, like, oh, my God,

speaking's hard today, and then, like, just reset and start over.

Okay.

Look, they all laughed.

Easy laugh.

Listen, early on, I would stumble over my words.

Now, I don't gi... I don't care.

You know what? I don't care!

And you get to an age where you just don't care, Jorgeous!

That's one of those things that comes with time.

It was just a lot of pressure today.

That thing that you do on the runway,

when you learn how to apply that to everything,

you will rule the world.

Up next, Jasmine Kennedie.

I love this look on you.

- This is really well edited. - Yay!

It's sleek, it's a great color for on the stage.

And I love the shoulder pads. What a dream. I love it.

In the panel, I did think you were very charismatic,

but I just didn't get enough of you.

Now, I know you're a Kennedie,

but in your panel, you were giving me

Nancy Reagan as a magician vibes.

There you go!

Weirdly, you aged yourself by at least 20 years.

You're so young and sassy, and that's what I want.

You're 22, damn it.

I want that playfulness.

I do feel like you did recede a little bit.

Gaming all night, I just, like, I don't know.

I think it's a confidence thing.

You can have a couple zingers

and be the star of the interview.

And I think it's just exhale, relax,

and just actually have a conversation.

It's like when you're talking to friends.

You're not sitting, judging yourself before you say it,

because that's usually what happens when you're that young.

You're thinking, well, I've got to behave a certain type of way.

It's like, no, don't do that, do you.

Up next, Daya Betty.

Let's talk about your panel performance.

I thought you were very personable,

very relatable, very articulate.

Someone with nipples, like Carson Kressley.

I also really loved your outfit.

You truly were, like, drag! And everyone else was, like,

I'm a nice woman, it's a nice day.

I really enjoyed the conversation

about the WWE stuff...

Ooh.

Because wrestlers are drag queens.

- Uh-huh. - Yeah.

I mean, think about The Undertaker

and think about Ric Flair.

They were full drag.

WWE was, like, a thing

that I watched with my dad,

and so I feel like that does kind of come into play

- with my drag a little bit. - Sure.

It's a very special place in my heart.

It holds a very special place in my heart.

Yeah, I usually watch it with a fistful of lotion.

You, too? Okay.

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

While you untuck in the werkroom,

the judges and I will deliberate.

Now, just between us squirrel friends,

I wanna know what you think.

DeJa Skye.

I thought she was so wonderful as the moderator.

She was so good at keeping the conversation flowing

- and not letting it lull. - She was fantastic tonight.

And I thought she looked beautiful

during the panel.

Honestly, I wanna see more.

Willow Pill.

She looked really sweet and demure,

and she was cutting bitches left and right.

Her jokes are hilarious,

and she knows where to insert them.

I love that she gives us wildly different looks every time.

She definitely has a style, but it's never the same look.

I do wish there was, you know, more shoulder pad,

but I don't care, I like her.

- Bosco. - She is so witty.

If DeJa Skye was, like, commercial moderating,

Bosco is, like, ooh, nightclub, edgy moderating if you will.

Why?

She was very funny, very dry.

Bosco was fantastic.

I just laughed from the very beginning.

Clearly the stand-out from her group.

Jorgeous.

Our little Jorgeous got sucked up

in that panel, and we lost her.

She needs to learn how to lay into those flaws and use them,

like a Chrissy Snow or a Goldie Hawn would,

to build a character.

The panel look, the hairline for me was very distracting.

There was a lot of makeup at the hairline.

Not good.

Tonight, not a good night for Jorgeous.

Jasmine Kennedie.

On the panel, I don't understand

why she looked 45 instead of 22.

A bit magician-y with the cape.

It was like the Iron Lady

- does a bit of magic. - Yes. Yes, exactly.

The pearls are non-negotiable.

I think she is so fun and so endearing,

but tonight she felt a little stiff.

She's not quite as confident in who she is as a presenter.

- Daya Betty. - On the panel,

I thought she was really endearing, really sweet.

Wasn't the best, but it was interesting.

On the runway, yes, she did paint her face

house-down combat boots.

But the look for me was just so columnar.

Is that a word, when you look like just a column?

Oh, cylindrical?

- Sure, we'll go with that. - Okay.

Silence!

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Bosco. Your electric boogaloo was breakin' new ground.

Con-drag-ulations. You're the winner of this week's challenge.

You've won a cash prize of $5.000

- courtesy of Snag Tights. - Thank you so much.

When RuPaul tells you "con-drag-ulations,"

alls I feel is just pure elation.

Willow Pill. This week,

the judges wanna give you a hand... Job well done.

- You're safe. - Thank you.

Yes, Willow!

DeJa Skye. We were cuckoo for your Coco.

Now, take a little time to enjoy the DeJa view.

- You are safe. - Thank you.

Jorgeous. You were glittering on the runway,

but we missed that Jorgeous sparkle in the challenge.

Jasmine Kennedie.

On the runway, you made a bold fashion statement,

but in the panel...

you faded into the background.

- Yes. - Stupid.

Daya Betty, in the challenge, you were stone-cold stunning,

but your runway look

needs to sign up for booty camp.

Daya Betty, you are safe.

Thank you, guys. Thank you so much.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

Jorgeous, Jasmine, I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

Oh, yes, the Jasmine versus Jorgeous lip sync smackdown.

Let me tell you this, America.

We have been waiting for this.

Two queens stand before me.

I've consulted with the judges,

but the final decision is mine to make.

Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

and save yourself from elimination.

The time has come...

for you to lip sync...

for your life!

This will be my third lip sync.

I have to give it my all.

I'm sorry, Jorgeous.

It's not personal, it's drag.

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Oh, my God, thank the Lord Jesus Christ.
