MTV

- Previously on
"RuPaul's Drag Race"...

You'll be acting up a storm

in "The Sound of Rusic."

Let the freak out

Let the freak out

Let the freak out in you

- Yay.
- Whoo!

Mhi'ya.

- I'm not sure you knew where
to be looking.

At one point, your veil
was over your head.

- Megami.

- When it was time for Megami
to be funny, she was funny.

And then she'd step back,
and suddenly,

then she was just Megami.

- Plasma.
- It was do-re-major.

Condragulations.

You're the winner
of this week's challenge.

Mhi'ya, shantay, you stay.

Megami, sashay away.

- Ooh.

Ooh, girl.

It's been a day.

Megami just went home.

And all I can think
is how in "Untucked,"

Megami was saying,
like, "New York, top five,

New York, top five,"
and now I'm like,

"Well, girl,
New York, four."

- "Choose chaos,
be badass bitches.

NYC girls take it home"...

- Period.
- "Megami."

- How are you feeling, Mhi'ya?

- I mean, it sucks to be
in the bottom again.

And then lip-syncing,
I had to go a extra little step

because she ended up
running her mouth,

saying, "This is a song
that I know.

It's no flipping
and this and that."

- She kept saying...
- Ooh.

- "It's no flipping,"
so I had to show her,

bitch, I can still beat you
without flipping.

Damn.

- Talk yo shit, Mhi'ya.

Talk yo shit, Mhi'ya.

- And you ate that.

- Megami, her message was
beautiful and amazing

and inspiring, though, for sure.

- Morphine, you
didn't even like her.

What are you talking about?

Yes, I did.

Don't start this narrative,
bitch.

She's rotted.
- This is the Mhi'ya.

This is the Mhi'ya that
the judges wanna see, bitch.

- Put it away.
- We preferred it

when you were quiet, you know?

- I didn't come here
to lip-sync every week.

With the girls we have now,
it's a strong cast,

and I need to show more
of my personality

and show the judges
that I'm not timid

or in this little shell.

So moving forward,
the queen is here.

- Congratulations, Plasma.
- Thank you.

- And, baby, you fought
for that role.

And guess what.
It paid off.

- Yeah, I'm kind
of sitting here,

like, "Why did we give her
that?"

- I'm upset
that you got the role

because I could have done
that shit too.

Raise your hand if you think

Morphine would have done
as good as Plasma.

- Aah!
- I would like to see her try.

- I think Morphine
would have done

an unbelievable job as well.

Me?

- What, bitch?
- "Stop lyin'."

Is that what you just said?

- Mhi'ya, what are
you saying, girl?

I didn't say nothing.

- Mhi'ya, you... you...
- My God.

No. What happened?

- You know what? Fuck her.

She's been in the bottom
every single week.

And if she doesn't think
I would have done great

in the lead, then, bitch,
she has another thing coming.

Fuck that bitch.

- At the end of the day,

all we can do is
be our best selves.

- Girl.
- Isn't that right, sisters?

- Where is this going?
- Amen. All right.

- Here goes the leaf.
- Here goes the leaf.

- Let's get the fuck
out of drag.

- I've had enough.
Let's go.

- The competitive aspect
gets a lot more real

every time someone goes home...

Plane, look, it's yo leaf.

- Turn and turn.
- Ooh, ooh.

Ooh.

Ew!

- And there are the people
who see the crown

inching closer and closer.

They are so hungry
for the carcasses of the dead.

- And they're not leaving

until we're all bodies
on the floor.

It's like, if the tension
wasn't already high, mama,

it's sky-high.

- Aah!
- Aah.

RuPaul's Drag Race

The winner
of "RuPaul's Drag Race"

receives a one-year supply

of Anastasia Beverly Hills
cosmetics

and a gag-worthy grand prize
of $200,000,

served by Cash App,

with extra special guest judge,

Kyra Sedgwick.

RuPaul's Drag Race

May the best drag queen win

Best drag queen win

- The Werk Room.

- Girl.

- Yes.
- Go, go, go, go, go.

- We are down from 14 to 9,
which is wild,

and I can't wait
to get down to me.

- How is everybody feeling?

- You know, I have a bone
to pick with Xunami.

A bone?

Yeah.

Something that, you know,

actually happened
before the race.

- Yeah.
- Spicy.

- We were at this club
in New Yor-k...

And we were both in geish.

- I already know where
she's going with this.

- And I look at this man across
the bar and... with a suit.

He's hot, delicious, gorgeous.

And I'm looking stunning, right?

So Xunami is, like,
in the corner there.

And then I asked one
of the girls,

"Is he into the girls?"
And she's like, "Yes."

And as I'm talking,
I turn around,

and Xunami's making out
with the man...

- After I just had shown
interest in the man.

- I don't know what
you're talking about.

Yeah,

First of all,

I didn't take anything
from Morphine.

I don't take things from anyone.

They come to me.

- But the gag is,
after that man,

she was making out
with another guy.

- Not you spilling my tea on TV.

- You know what's funny?
That around Xunami,

no man is safe,
but Xunami always is.

Ooh!

That was good. That was good.

Hello, hello, hello.

- Hi.
- Hello, flower power.

- My beautiful queens,
for today's Mini Challenge,

in the grand tradition
of the legendary documentary,

"Paris Is Burning,"

the library is about
to be opened.

Because reading is what?

Fundamental!

- That's right.

First up, Q.

- Ooh.
- Step right up.

Shady bitch.

- All right,
the library is open.

- Dawn, your name should be Dusk

because you look better
in the dark.

- Ooh!
- Ooh.

- Mhi'ya, if Danny DeVito
could do flips,

there pretty much wouldn't be
a difference.

- Sapphira, you are
a wise, sagacious mother.

I have really nothing negative
to say about you,

not unlike your STD tests.

You know, Q and her husband are
in an open relationship,

which is ironic
because when couples see Q

from across the bar,

they decide
to become monogamous.

- Plane Jane, I could call you
a fucking whore,

a ugly cunt, a dumb bitch,

but I'm not
because I wanna fuck you.

You know we are on TV, right?

- Sapphira Cristál, my sister,

my brother, and my uncle.

She's like the Morgan Freeman
of drag.

Wait, no, no, no.
That's actually RuPaul.

Plasma, my girl,

where were you on January 6th?

- Wait, I don't get it.

Wait. I don't get it.

- It's the day
of the insurrection.

- Plasma, when I see you dance,
I think

of the old ladies
that was on TV exercising.

What?

- No...
- Abort, abort.

- Xunami, honestly,
really bold name

for someone who hasn't made
waves in this competition.

- Nymphia, knock, knock.

- Who's there?
- Banana.

- Banana who?
- Knock, knock!

- Who's there?

- Banana.
- Banana who?

- That's what it feels like
to talk to you.

- Xunami Muse,
many people don't know

that Xunami is actually really
into astrology.

I'm a Libra, and Xunami
is a cancer...

to the drag community.

- Airplane Jane,

are you comfortable sitting
in the exit row?

Because, baby, we are all clear
for your departure.

Ooh!

- Mother Sapphira, when I heard
that you were the first queen

from Philadelphia, I thought,

"Finally, the Liberty Bell
of the ball has arrived."

But girl, it looks like you're
just a Philly cheese-mistake.

- Plane Jane is so dumb,
she studied for her COVID test

and got excited when she passed.

Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige, you are
known as the queen of flips,

but you should change your name
to queen of flops.

- Aah!

- Morphine, the face, the woman,

the BBL of the season,
and the body.

Plane Jane, the thing more
nastier than your personality

is that dandruff
off your shoulders...

And that beard

growing out of your face.

- That's too much, sister.

Are you sure?

Okay, the library is closed.

You are all shady,

but the winner
of today's Mini Challenge is...

Xunami Muse.

- Bitch, not me winning
the Reading Challenge, ha!

- You've won a cash prize
of $2,500.

- Ooh!

Can I put two
Mini Challenges together

so it could be a Maxi Challenge?

- Okay, ladykins, for
this week's Maxi Challenge,

we are playing the Snatch Game.

- It is the Snatch Game,
baby, and I am excited.

This challenge separates
the wheat from the chaff.

It is where you find out
who's really gonna make it.

- You impersonate a celebrity
and make me laugh,

simple as that.

What could go wrong?

Racers, start your engines.

And may the best drag queen win.

- Come on, Snatch Game.

- Girl, let's get into it.

- The challenge for this week
is the legendary Snatch Game.

I look so hideous.

- I've never done
something like this before,

but I'm excited
to continue acting a fool.

- Who are y'all gonna be?

Dr. Jane Goodall.

- Who's that?

- She was, like,
the first woman to find out

that chimpanzees were basically
the same as humans.

- Is she funny?

- No.

Jane Goodall is
definitely a risky choice

'cause she is
on the more quiet side,

but I feel like she has perks
and quirks here and there

to, like, really make her funny.

- I'm doing Meghan McCain
of the iconic McCain dynasty.

- Hateful.

- I wanted to make sure

that I picked someone
that I was absolutely fine

reading the dog shit out of.

Meghan is a conservative.

She's an idiot who just,
like, has a platform

for being
John McCain's daughter.

And I think that she's
a trash goblin,

so I'm gonna have fun.

- Plasma, who are you doing?

- I'm doing treasure

of the American
musical theater, Patti LuPone.

Y'all don't know who
that is, do you?

- No.
- No? Okay. Well, um,

she is a three-time
Tony Award-winning actress.

I love her, and she,
like, stops the show.

It is a musical, and then
it is Patti LuPone's musical.

- Is today gonna
be "The Plasma Show"?

- Well, darling, I don't know

if you've been watching
from last week, but...

- Plasma came in here,
and she had her shtick.

And then she won
doing her shtick.

And I feel like now,
she's just like,

shtick, shtick,
shtick, shtick, shtick.

But I would like

to see something different
from Plasma.

- I'll let you guess.

- Something Earhart.

- Wait, Amelia Earhart?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Get out.
- My...

- I'm serving very adventurous
Amelia Earhart.

It's a character
that people know,

but they don't know who she is.

So I can have
some freedom with it.

- That's my approach.
- Yeah.

I'm the pilot on this plane,

and hopefully I'm gonna
have you ready for liftoff.

- And who are you doing?

- I'm doing
the Gold Tooth Fairy,

a made-up character.

- Okay, that's always
gone over well, sister.

Good for you.

I mean, Trinity won
with her devil, so.

She did. That's true.

- Ooh, okay,
she's feeling a little spicy

after winning
that Reading Challenge.

- I'm going with that character
because it gives me agency

to sort of just make it my own
and stand out.

So bring it on.

- Hey, ladykins.

We've got company.

Here, all the way
from her penthouse suite

in the Drag Race Hall of Fame,
it's Chad Michaels.

Hey, babes.

- Aah!
- My God.

- Traffic from Malibu
was a real bitch.

- Aww.
- Aah!

- Chad Michaels is the world's

most well-renowned
Cher impersonator.

- Chad is a Snatch Game
grand champion.

- I don't know why they book me
on these chicken-shit gigs.

And she's here
to answer your questions.

Shall we?
- Let's do it.

- Wow.

- Gorgeous.

- Dawn, Morphine,
Plane Jane, and Mhi'ya,

please come on over.

- Hi.
- Hello, ladies.

It's so nice to meet you all.

- Let's start with Morphine.
Chad, any guesses?

That's sort of an auburn wig
with a part down the middle.

There's a pearl necklace.

- Are you doing Anna Delvey?
- Yeah, Anna Delvey.

- Anna Delvey.
- Anna Delvey.

- That's so current.
- It's so current.

- For those who don't know
who Anna Delvey is,

she is an iconic con artist.

She swindled and fooled all the
important people in New York.

They made a show about that
bitch called "Inventing Anna,"

and, bitch, she's fierce.

- Give us a little Anna Delvey
right now.

Mhi'ya, what are you wearing?

You look poor.

Baby, I have this
in the bag, honey.

I mean I don't know
what accent I just did,

but it was...
That's how she talks.

- You're going with that.

- I'm excited to just let loose.

- So Plane Jane,
I'm getting Kim Petras.

I mean,
the blonde could be Gaga,

but we've got cock rings
in that wig, so I...

So it could be Gaga.

- It could be Gaga.

- So this is actually
a celebrity

who Gaga has taken inspiration
from many times,

Serbian superstar
Jelena Karleusa.

- Have you ever heard of
this person, Chad?

- I have not.

- Okay.

- Period.

Jelena is
a Serbian pop superstar.

She's sort of the equivalent
of Madonna here in the U.S.

So it's Slavic clownery
shenanigans MILF town realness.

- That's up to you to come out
and show us who she is.

- Right.
- And make RuPaul laugh.

- Helen Karla some shit.

I definitely don't know
who that is.

So, sis, I hope you can bring
out some character in them.

- Now Mhi'ya here has a long wig

that looks a lot like Cher.

- It does. I'm nervous.

Are you coming for me right now?

No.

Actually, I'm going
Tiffany Pollard, New York.

- Okay.
- Okay. Okay.

- That's an interesting choice.

- Mhi'ya says that she's gonna
do Tiffany Pollard.

I'm like, "What?
With a megaphone?"

- How are you gonna make her
funny?

- I'ma just basically pretend

like I'm home,
being around my friends.

That's mostly when I'm myself

and joking and laughing
and having fun.

- Maybe even be one
of your friends, one

of your loud friends because
you can take on their energy.

Now, Chad, the critique
for Miss Mhi'ya has been

she's a little timid.

- I sense that in you.

Feel free to be funny
on your own.

Remember, you need
to make Mother Ru laugh.

That is the whole point
of this challenge.

It's not to deliver this
stunning, like, look-alike.

Gotta make Mama laugh.

- Fingers crossed you can
make this happen.

- I don't think Mhi'ya knows
what the hell she's doing.

- Well, thank you, ladies.
- Thank you.

- Have fun out there.
- Thanks so much.

- Yep, that's my cue,
change my character.

Lord.

- After the walkthrough,
I'm having doubts

on the characters that I chose
to impersonate.

And I want to be able to do
someone I'm comfortable with.

- She kind of did say be one
of your friends, channel that.

Miss Mama is stressing out
right now.

- This will be my time
to show them I can be funny.

- I don't know how
she's gonna pull that off.

- My queens, say hello
to Chad Michaels.

- Hello.
- Hello, everyone.

- Now, I think, Chad,
you can pretty much imagine

whose hair that is.

- She's serving me "B.A.P.S,"
girl.

- Well, I'm gonna go
with a mythical character,

the Gold Tooth Fairy.

I wanna, like,
create a character

and really flesh her out.

- Does the Gold Tooth Fairy
actually exist in reality?

- No.
- Just in your mind?

- Yes.
- That's fabulous.

- She's writing a blank check.
- She's writing a blank check.

Bitch, you better cash
that check.

- And it's gonna be a big one.
- Okay.

- Trust yourself
because I'm hopeful for you.

This is great.

- I'm hopeful for me too.
- Good.

- All right, so Sapphira,
I see a red sequin dress.

Are you Dorothy Dandridge?

- No.
It's not a dress.

- Is it a cape?

- It's a cape.
- Are you James Brown?

- I'm James Brown, baby.
- My goodness!

Godfather of soul.

The first concert I ever saw,
it was December 28, 1969,

James Brown
and the Famous Flames.

And we were in,
literally, the last row.

Yeah.

- So why'd you choose
James Brown?

- Because I know all of
that information.

You know.

- You know what you're doing.

- Sapphira's playing
the kiss-ass game today.

Oop.

Oop, is Luxx Noir London
in the house?

Just kidding.
Do not air that.

She's gonna come for me.
No, don't air it.

- I love James Brown.
James Brown is, like,

one of my favorite stars
in the world...

- Yeah.
- Just like no other.

- Yes.
- You can amplify that

with, "" and all that.

Just, like, go crazy with it.
- Yeah.

- All right, so Nymphia,
you've got some binoculars.

You've got...
are you Jane Goodall?

My goodness,
that's an interesting choice.

- Yes.
- What made you choose her?

- The fact that she likes
chimpanzees that likes bananas.

Okay.

What do you like about her?

- Her confidence, confer...

Conservation stuff...

- And her love
for the animal world.

- How's it gonna be funny?
- She does pant hooting.

Like, she speaks the language
of chimpanzees.

Did you just do it?

Yeah.

- I'm scared for her.

I wouldn't say
I'm a comedy queen,

so talking to Ru
and Chad is scary.

Just, like,
there's so much expectation,

like, "Ooh, how do I
make Ru laugh?"

And then, like, this and that
and that, I'm like...

And I'm just tongue-tied
at the end.

- Like, you've already
kind of said Jane Goodall.

She was a quiet woman.

She sat in the jungle

and just loved these apes.

I fear for you how you're going
to make that funny,

but you are in charge
of your own destiny right now.

- So I think Chad has given you
some things to think about.

- I know I didn't sell her well,

but in my mind, it works.

- Well, let's hope
in the room it works.

Yeah, let's hope.

- Nymphia always pretends

that she's, like, nervous
or scared,

but then she ends up killing it.

- Have fun out there.

- Thanks so much.
- Thank you.

- But I don't know
if it's a joke this time.

I think she's actually
really nervous.

- All right, ladies,
gather round.

Now later today, you'll head
to the Snatch Game set.

And one more thing.

Plane Jane, I warned you that

that immunity potion came
with an expiration date.

Unlike me, bitches.

- Starting this week,

you only have three more chances

to use your immunity potion,

either for yourself
or to give to another queen.

- Ooh, I think this is
gonna be the week

of the immunity potion
taking center stage

because the weight of this
challenge is looming on us.

And, like, a lot of girls
are shaking in their boots.

- Brought to you by

delicious House of Love
cocktails and mocktails,

it's the Snatch Game.

And here's your host, RuPaul!

- Welcome, everybody,
to the Snatch Game.

Let's meet our contestants.

From the Pit Crew,
he's a stuntman

whose special skills
include sword fighting.

Say hello to JP.

Are you excited to be here?

- I don't see how
that's any of your business.

- That's a great answer.

Up next, he's a model

whose name means "lion"
in Arabic.

Say hello to Laith.

- Hello.
- Why a lion?

- I'm a lion at heart,
so that's what it is.

All right.

Well, let's meet
our celebrities.

First up,
she's the original fly girl.

Legendary pilot,
Amelia Earhart is here.

Hello.

- Hey, RuPaul.

You look so small from up here.

Now, listen, what
in your aviation career

has prepared you
to play the Snatch Game?

The in-flight snacks.

I was the first girl
to eat peanuts on a plane.

Can you believe that?

All right, up next,

she puts her money
where your mouth is.

It's the Gold Tooth Fairy.

- Hey, RuPaul.

It is a pleasure coming here
from the fairy world.

- Gold Tooth Fairy,

how different are you from just
the regular tooth fairy?

- Well, they're a little cheap.
You know, I'm a hustler.

I'm a gold digger.

- Yes.

- Are you digging for teeth?
- Well, more than that.

What's more than the teeth?

What else are you digging for?

- Bones and, you know,
whatever you got.

You know, I can resell it.

That's how I made
my money, you know?

- Okay. All right.

Up next,
it's primatologist Jane Goodall

is up in here.

What's up, Jane?

- Hello, Ru.

Can I start with a greeting

from the National Park of Gombe?

Sure, why not?

Hoo! Hoo!

- Okay.

Up next, she's her father's
favorite daughter.

Conservative sweetheart
Meghan McCain is here.

- Hey, bitch.

- Meghan, how's the view
from here?

- "The View"?

That is trauma, baby.

- Up next,
the godfather of soul,

James Brown, is here.

How you doing, Ru?

- Hey!

- Do you remember
the first song you wrote?

- The first song I wrote
was a little ditty

that I did when I was in prison.

And it was called,
"Let Me the Fuck Outta Here."

Let me the fuck outta here

Okay.

- From Broadway to Hollywood,
it's Patti LuPone.

- Hi, Ru, it's so good
to be here, finally.

- Listen, Patti,
you have starred

in so many iconic shows.

- Is there a part that you'd
love to sink your teeth into?

- Well, you know,
Ru, I auditioned

for the original company
of "Into the Woods"

back in the 1980s,

and I really wanted
to play Cinderella.

But can you believe
that Stephen Sondheim told me

I was too old?

- That is ridiculous.

You could play any role.

- Don't I know it? A-ha.

- Up next, world-famous
fraudster Anna Delvey is here.

- It is such a dishonor
to be here at the Snatch Game

with all these broke-ass people.

- Can I ask you a question?

Okay.

- What are you wearing?

You look poor.

MIA in this bitch.

It's Trina's cousin, Shaquita.

What's up, girl?

Shaquita in the house,
Shaquita in the house.

- It looks like Mhi'ya decided

to make up a character that is
at least somewhat relatable.

We know who Trina is,

so we know who Shaquita must be.

- Now, Shaquita,
do you also rap?

- No, I don't rap.

I do nails. I do hair.

I live in Miami, and I stay
in the Pork and Beans Projects.

- Wait, did you say
"Pork and Beans"?

- Yeah,
the Pork and Beans Projects.

Up next, she is Serbia's
biggest pop superstar.

Welcome, Jelena Karleusa.

- Hi, RuPaul.

You make me wait so long,
I almost fall asleep.

It's jet lag.

- Yes, of course.
Now, aside from you,

what is Serbia famous for?

It is famous for, war.

- War, yes.
- Big, big Balkan War.

- Yes.
- They calls Jelena

number one BBW in all of Serbia.

- What is BBW?

- It's Beautiful
Balkan War survivor.

- Yes.

Aye.

- Well, we're not gonna have
a war here at the Snatch Game.

Are you ready to play,
everybody?

- Yeah.
- Let's play.

- All right.
- Hit it!

- Here we go.

Laith, here is your question.

"Lady Bunny was the first
drag queen to go green.

She's been recycling her blank
for years."

Celebrities, go ahead
and write your answer down.

All right, so Laith,
what say you?

- Well, she's a comedy queen,
so recycling her jokes.

- That's a great answer!

And you know what?

It's true.

Let's go to our celebrities
and find out

if you got a match, okay?

Patti LuPone, now, have you
met Lady Bunny, Patti LuPone?

- You know, Ru, I've met
Lady Bunny so many times

since the '80s I wrote
that Lady Bunny's

been recycling her diseases
for years!

But it's not diseases.

We're looking for "jokes,"
Patti LuPone.

Let's move on down
to Amelia Earhart.

What say you?
- Before I started my flight

across the Atlantic,

I went green myself.
- Really?

- Yes,
and I recycled my own gas.

You recycled your own gas?

Are you talking about fuel?

- Fuel, of course.

Maybe that's why, you know,

I've had
some flight difficulties.

Haven't we all?

Let's move on down.

We're looking for "jokes."

Dr. Jane Goodall, what say you?

- Well, we must protect
our future generation.

We must protect the planet.

So I wrote "silicone" 'cause,
just like plastic and paper,

silicone is also recyclable.

We must all do our recycling.

- I think Dr. Jane Goodall is
on a different program.

Let's move on down
to Serbian superstar Jelena.

- Excuse me.
I'm a little distracted

by beautiful shiny breasts
over there.

Oi, Jelena's tuck is popping.
Excuse me.

I say injectable
Z-grade silicone

that is in Jelena body.

And I think I say
same answer as...

She reminds me
of my deceased babushka.

Your... did you say
"deceased" or "diseased"?

- Both.

- Plane is hilarious.

She is really weaponizing
her Slavic upbringing.

- Jelena and I used
to date back in the day.

- No, it's not true.
You are a very...

ugly man.

I would never touch you.

Aye.

- Let's move on
to the Gold Tooth Fairy.

Lady Bunny, she's been
recycling her jokes for years.

What say you, Gold Tooth Fairy?

- You know, I've heard of her.

She's a great businesswoman,
but she's still poor.

However, I've heard she's
recycling her dollar bills.

- Okay, yeah.

What do you do
with your dollar bills?

- You know, I put them
in a piggy bank.

Yes.

And then when I need
another tooth, I break it.

- You keep your dollar bills
mixed with your teeth?

no.

- And I said I didn't know
what direction I was going.

Xunami,

I don't understand
this character. I'm sorry.

- Are you ready to play, JP?

- I'm so ready.

- Okay, "Carson Kressley
moonlights as a magician,

"but instead of pulling
a rabbit out of his hat,

he pulls a rabbit out
of his blank."

Celebrities, you go ahead
and write your answers.

So JP, Carson Kressley
pulls a rabbit out of his?

- Birkin bag.

- Birkin bag!

Let's go to our celebrities.

Let's start with James Brown,
the godfather of soul.

What say you?

- Every time I see
Carson Kressley,

he's wearing some fancy shoes.

So I would say he was wearing
his dancing shoes.

- He pulled a rabbit out
of his dancing shoes.

Do you have
your dancing shoes on?

Hey, I got my dancing shoes

- Those dancing shoes
look a lot like

your character shoes
that you wore last week.

- My character shoes?
- Yeah, the character shoes...

- I ain't got
no character shoes.

My name is James Brown.

Last time I met you was 1969.

- You telling me you've seen me
in character shoes?

- You're wearing
character shoes.

It wasn't me.

- Grandpa is killing it
over there.

- Let's move on down
to Anna Delvey.

- I wrote down
"Birkin bag" as well.

Wait a minute.

You crossed out the top there.

- No, you can't
see nothing there.

- Let's check with the judges.

- Do you need more money?

No.

Unfortunately, the judges have
deemed that answer fraudulent.

All right, Shaquita,

"Carson Kressley moonlights
as a magician.

He pulls a rabbit out
of his blank."

What do you say?
- His azzz.

Shaquita, it had to be said.

- Miss Mhi'ya is pulling it off.

On Snatch Game,
out of all challengers,

this is when you turn it on?

- Dr. Jane Goodall, we are
looking for "Birkin bag."

What do you say?
- Well, I would like

to introduce Mariah Greybeard.

I think she would like
to answer for me,

would you not?

- The banana's rotting.

- I think we wrote
"banana bag."

- Did you write that, really?
- Yes.

- Bitch...

That's a match.

- I have to be honest,

I thought I was here
to give a talk.

No. You're not.

Okay, well,
now this one's for Laith.

"Michelle Visage is rebooting
"The Golden Girls."

The theme song is
'Thank You for Being a Blank.'"

Celebrities, go ahead
and write your answers.

All right, Laith,
"Thank You for Being a"...

- "Beard."
- A beard.

Let's go to our celebrities
and see if we have a match.

Let's go to Meghan McCain.

- Well, did you know I can do
a 360 handstand on a keg?

We used to do them
on the National Mall,

but we started having
to pay people off

so they wouldn't tell.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- And you bring that up why?

- Well, because I think
we should all be

God-honoring members of society.

If you pay people not
to tell others your secrets,

then you can always live
by the golden rule.

James Brown, what's your answer?

Where... is gone?

The show is over?
Is he finished?

- Okay.
- Hey!

- James Brown.
- I'm here.

Y'all ready?
- Yes.

We're looking for a "beard."
- Now lemme tell you something.

Michelle Visage is one
hot, sexy thang, so I said...

Thank you for being
a hot, sexy thang

Thank you, hey

- Let's move on down
to Anna Delvey.

- Just so you know, sitting
next to this, um, person,

she inspired this answer.

I wrote a broke, stupid,
ugly, fake whore

who's dumb and poor-looking.

- I'll drink to that.

- My girl Anna Delvey
is kind of cringey.

- Cousin Shaquita,
what did you write down?

We're looking for "beard."

The baddest bitch.

- Thank you for being
the baddest bitch.

- Yes, like
my cousin Trina said.

Okay.

Jelena, are you familiar
with Michelle Visage?

- Yes.

Michelle Visage is beautiful,
dignified American woman

who donate me
her removed breast implants.

They found a lovely home.

Now we are looking for "beard."

- "Golden Girls" is
brand-new in Serbia.

- Okay.

- And I don't know
direct translation.

I think it translates to
"Thank You for Being Comrade."

- Yes.

Thank you.

That buzzer means
we are out of time.

And the winner is...

nondairy ice cream

'cause ain't nobody got time
for lactose.

Until next time,
keep snatching with the stars.

Good night, everybody.

- Banana, banana.
- Shit.

- That's some bullshit.
- I not good today, not good.

Today is annihilation day.

I think some girls are pressed
about how Snatch Game went,

and it could go any fucking way.

But another bitch gone,
let's go, let's go.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Knock 'em down.

- So how you feeling
about the Snatch Game?

- I feel like I did good.

I don't feel like I flopped
or sunk, you know, so.

What? You think otherwise?

- I just... I think
that you're very optimistic,

and I love that about you.

- You weren't in the top for me.

- Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I know.
- And I'm not even sure

if you're in the middle
for me either.

- Ooh.

No, don't put that energy
out there.

What are you doing?

I hope I didn't bomb, like,
that bad.

Okay.

- I'm gonna keep telling myself
that I didn't.

- That's right, girl.
- Yeah.

I am aggressively optimistic.

- I love aggressive optimism.

- I'ma be on the van,
leaving, talking about,

"I don't know what y'all saw."

- "The tooth fairy
was everything."

I think there's a tsunami
coming for Xunami.

And I hope and pray that FEMA
comes and rescues her.

And that FEMA's name
is Plane Jane.

- I feel like it's really
a toss-up as to who is gonna

be in the bottom this week.

- If you wanted to ever give
your potion to someone, I...

You know, if you could have
just a thought about it.

The fact that I'm pleading
to her, my God.

As much as I hate doing it,

I am gonna massage her feet,
shave her back.

- I have been thinking about it,

and you are my sister,
and I do want you to stay.

But I don't think you're gonna
need it this week, no.

- I'm really only saying
that Morphine has nothing

to worry about to kind of
get her off my back.

- If there's anybody that
should be sucking up to you,

it should be Nymphia.

- Do you guys really feel
like that?

- I will...
- Y'all can speak louder.

I already know.

- It's gonna come down
to the runways, y'all.

- So you're saying we can
all look like shit today?

- Yay.

- Today.
- Thank you.

- What a way to campaign
for your immunity, bitch.

- Plane, I just really think
as a week-two sister...

- Right.

- I know you don't
wanna see me go.

- Come on.
Please, Jane.

- I don't... I... sister,
I think you'll be okay

without the immunity this week,
I really do.

I trust you.
- What if I go?

- Then you go.
- You won't...

- No, sister.
- You will live in regret.

- I'm putting my faith
in your charisma,

uniqueness, your nerve,
and your talent, sister.

Ooh, damn, I felt like I was
getting suffocated there.

Ooh!

- Nymphia?
- Yes?

- What's the queer culture
like in Taiwan?

- Taiwan was
the first country in Asia

to approve gay marriage.

- Okay.
- So, like,

it's very gay rights, yay.

So it's great.

- I know that there's
a queer scene and a drag scene

in Russia too,
but it definitely has to be...

- It's very secluded, no?
- It is, yeah. It's...

- 'Cause yeah, there,
it's, like, illegal.

- It's not necessarily
illegal to be gay there,

but there are no laws
to protect against violence.

Even though Russia is where
the entirety

of my family comes from,
my parents, my grandparents,

et cetera,
I can't go back there,

and I probably won't be able
to go back to Russia

for a very, very long time.

I would really like
to be able to go to Russia.

I would love to see
where it is that I'm from.

In Russian culture, generally,
the grandma is like...

- The pillar. Yup.
- The pillar, right.

My babushka was like
a second mother to me.

I was always an insecure kid,

and she was always
my biggest cheerleader.

My relationship with my grandma
was very special.

I feel like she was
the shadiest bitch of them all.

- Is that where were
you get it from?

Absolutely, honey.

That's why I will read a bitch

'cause my grandma was,
you know...

- Ruthless.
- She was ruthless,

but she was funny.

She did pass before
I started drag.

I just wish that she could
have been here to see me.

The love that I felt
from my grandma,

I'm never gonna experience
that kind of love again.

She would be reading
these other bitches

and telling me
that I'm number one.

- I come from
a different background.

My dad was a trainer
for the UFC.

Shit.

- My dad is Saul Soliz.

He is known as the godfather
of Texas MMA.

When he found out I was gay,
he was very not happy.

- Wow.
- We didn't talk for a while

because he had, like,
so many things to say,

and they weren't
"I support you."

He did not like that I did drag
and told my mom

that the worst thing
that a father could hear

about their child is
that their son is gay.

And my mom said, Well, you need
to get your priorities straight

"because the worst thing
I could hear about my son

is that he's dead."

I was like, "If you have
a problem with me,

"I will give you
the opportunity to see

how it is to not be around me."

I won't talk to you.
I won't call you.

I won't come around
for a good long time.

He came and saw me in May
at a show for the first time,

and you couldn't take
the smile off his face.

- Wow.
- And it was just

so frickin' amazing

to see him so excited
about what I was doing.

And he even asked, he said,

"Why aren't you on
that 'Drag Race' show?"

I am not
my dad's biological son,

but he chose
to raise me that way.

He never said,
"This is my stepson."

He said, "This is my son."

And that love stays
with me every day

because we can choose
how we love and who we love.

You know, when he died...
He died of COVID...

He called me before he went
on the ventilator,

and I was asleep.

- You missed the call?
- I missed the call.

My God.

- And that's, like, one thing
that I'm really, like,

sad about is because I didn't
get to hear... like, talk to him

and tell him, like, how much
I really, like, love him.

He was, like, my best friend
when I was a baby.

Like, I used to go everywhere
with him.

The one thing
that makes me so sad is that

I never got that much time
with my dad

after we made up and he saw
what drag could be.

- Can we all give you a hug?

- Every day, there's something
I want to say my dad.

I love you.

Thank you.

Cover girl

Put the bass in your walk

Head to toe,
let your whole body talk

- Mama.
- Whoo!

- Mawma, Mawma.

- Welcome to the main stage

of "RuPaul's Drag Race,"

the often impersonated
but never constipated

Michelle Visage.

- Ru, that's why
I'm the regular judge.

- Style superstar,
Carson Kressley.

Now, has anybody
ever impersonated you?

Actually, yes.

Someone stole my identity once.

We ended up dating.
We had so much in common.

Same address, same height,
same hair color.

- Same credit score.

And she is a true original.

The marvelous Kyra Sedgwick
is here.

Hello. Welcome.

- Thank you so much.

It's so exciting to be here.

My whole family,
we are all huge fans of drag.

- Well, let's see
if they're still huge fans

after your performance tonight.

My God.

Yes, indeed.

- This week, we challenged
our queens to make us laugh

in the Snatch Game.

And tonight, on the runway,
category is Dancing Queen.

Racers, start your engines.

And may the best drag queen win.

- Category is Dancing Queens.

Up first, Q, serving the robot.

- Robots are taking
everybody's jobs now.

- AI.

- I'm giving the judges
complete robot.

I'm walking like a robot.

I'm dancing like a robot

or I'm just, like,
dancing like myself.

- In the future, robots
will dance like white folks.

Xunami Muse, serving salsa.

It's hips and salsa.

- I grew up dancing salsa
with my mom and my dad.

When I was a kid, they would put

my feet on top of their feet,

and then they would just
do the moves.

It's in my blood.

I am having such a blast.

- This salsa's
from New York City.

New York City?

- Nymphia Wind,
serving Japanese butoh.

- My goodness.
- Wow.

- Butoh is
a traditional Japanese dance

formed after World War II.

It was a contrast to ballet,
essentially,

where butoh was trying
to go into more the depths

of their dark souls through

their facial expression,
which was very twisted

and their body movements,
which was really slow.

I love these faces.

- One day fashion,
the next day potpourri.

Dawn serving polka.

- Polka? I don't even know her.

- My grandparents grew up
doing polka dancing,

so we have a big skirt.

It looks gorgeous when I spin.

We're giving strudel,
the yassified version, okay?

- And a one-a and a two-a
and a...

- Where is Lawrence Welk
when you need him?

Sapphira,
serving "Drag U" majorette.

- Yeah. Come on, drumline.

"Drag U!"

Bitch, don't make me drag you.

- I am storming the runway

in the "Drag U" colors.

And for the children
who don't know,

"Drag U" is a spin-off
of "Drag Race,"

where Drag Race alumni
make over cis women

and help them find
their inner drag queen.

- Jeez, those kicks.

- I want to represent
my Black sisters.

They are the inspiration
for everything

that is sickening in this world.

- Hey.

- Plasma serving tap.

- If the BFA wasn't
showing already,

then it sure is today

because I am doing
musical theater tap dance.

These taps are not dubbed.

I am legitimately tap dancing.

- It's Danny Kaye as Vera-Ellen
in "White Christmas."

That is it.

- Give us the time-step.

- I'd tap that.

Pullbacks.

- Mama, this is
musical theater perfection.

Watch this.

Look out for the stairs.

Aah.

- Morphine servling flamenco.

- "Servling"?

- Slurving.
- Slurring?

- Well, she's keeping up
with the Joneses,

the Catherine Zeta-Joneses.

- I'm a huge fan
of Spanish culture.

I'm such a fan of Rosalía,
and I love Charo.

I just feel so stunning tonight.

- You know, there's a pill now
for restless legs syndrome.

- Mhi'ya serving '90s hip-hop.

- It's like ketchup and mustard
had a baby with a pirate.

- That's it.

- My dancing inspiration
is Destiny's Child, TLC, SWV,

all these girl groups
that I grew up on.

And I am on
this runway feeling it.

I love a mullet.

Business in the front,
party in the back.

- Mary Gay Blige.

- It's Plane Jane,
serving Latin ballroom.

There's no ballroom
in this outfit.

- As a kid, I was
a Latin ballroom dancer.

And now, I get to flip
the gender roles of that

around to be the beautiful
Latin ballroom dancing cunt.

I think she thinks
I'm her dance partner

because our outfits match.

- They do.
- Yes.

- Yeah.
- Why y'all gagging so?

She bring it to you
every ballroom.

Cake, cake and candy

Welcome, queens.

I've made some decisions.

But first, Plane Jane,

do you wish
to use your immunity potion

for yourself or for one
of your fellow queens?

- You know, Ru, some
of my sisters were feeling

a little thirsty this week,

but I believe in their talents,

and I'm going to be saving this
for a rainy day.

I see.

When I call your name,
please step forward.

Q,

Dawn,

Plasma.

Ladies, you are all safe.

You may leave the stage.

Now it's time
for the judges' critiques.

Up first, Xunami Muse.

- You had a really good idea,

but it went nowhere.

It just literally was, like,
no character and just talking.

- It was a little hard
to sort of find

what you were going for,

but I love the elegance
of your outfit.

It's beautiful.

- And how you easily stepped
into that salsa,

just beautiful.

You know what you're doing.

And that's what we were looking
for in the Snatch Game.

Up next, it's Nymphia Wind.

- If you were
impersonating Jane Goodall,

it would have been fine,

but this is supposed
to be spoofy and funny,

and it was giving us PBS vibes.

There was no monkey business.

Very that.

- But this, wow, wow, wow.

This makeup is exquisite.

The butoh dance that you did,
all of it, was beautiful.

- I have to say I'm blown away
by your imagination

and your artistry.

- Every time you've stepped
on this runway,

it is really well thought-out,
beautiful.

And, actually,
that's part of the problem

with the Jane Goodall.

You're so cerebral
that it doesn't allow

the rest of us in.

- I think that's just how I am.

Like, I'm just innately
very shy.

When I have to really
reveal myself,

I'm like, "Do I have to?"

- I get it, but, you know,
the way the audience gets

to fall in love with you is
through those places

that are imperfect.

Give me the burnt edges, bitch,

'cause I like my toast burnt.

- Up next, it's Sapphira.

- My new favorite game in
this competition is

to spot how Sapphira tries to
camouflage her dancing shoes.

- You got covers
on them biscuits.

- "Drag U."

- I love that it was a nod
to "Drag U."

You look gorgeous.

I love your hair like that.
This is right.

- Overwhelmingly,
both your James Brown

and your majorette,
you're having a great time.

And because you're having
a great time,

we're having a great time.

And that is the purpose
of entertaintment.

- And I felt like
you even went head-to-head

a couple of times with Ru,
which I also thought was ballsy

and amazing, so bravo.

- Up next, Morphine.

I just loved your flamenco
so much.

I mean, I just thought
it was so stunning.

- Anna Delvey,
we weren't buying into the...

Anna Delvey foundation.

That's a hard character because
even her accent in the show

is inconsistent
because she was making it up.

- Listen, the accent
was horrible.

And it was all over the place,
but that's funny.

If you played that up, you know,

and made it even worse
and had a point of view...

There was no real point of view.

It was boring,
and you don't wanna be boring

in the Snatch Game.

- Up next, Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige.

- Also known
as Trina's cousin, Shaquita.

Hey, y'all.

- You killed it.
I was so proud of you.

- Shaquita in the house!
- You made a character.

She was a bit one-note,
but what I loved about her

is that you stayed committed.

- This look,

what you did so successfully
is the presentation.

And that sold the look for me.

- Girl, I am so proud of you

because you have followed
the direction.

You have let your child
come out to play,

and this will serve you
not only in this competition

but throughout your life.

Up next, it's Plane Jane.

Let's talk
about Jelena Karleusa.

She is the Serbian Lady Gaga.

- I didn't know that.
- Yeah.

She's a real person?

- My God.
- I thought you made her up.

No, no, she's real.

Leaned into it.
It was a very smart choice.

You had a big, giant laugh
from Ru.

You were purported to have
been dating Anna Delvey,

and you said,
"No, I would not date her.

She's an ugly man."

That was funny.

- See?
That's good material.

- Your Latin ballroom look,
you look absolutely beautiful.

I liked the lock steps
and bachatas.

I would have wanted you
to take it way further

'cause they are ridiculous.

If you want to see drag,

watch a Latin ballroom
competition.

You will see drag.

Nonetheless, great Snatch Game.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, queens.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I will
deliberate.

Just between us
squirrel friends,

what do you think?

Let's start with Xunami Muse.

- Brilliant idea with
the Gold Tooth Fairy.

The thing is,
she absolutely didn't know

where to go with it.

- When I can't find
the character in Snatch Game,

then I'm really in trouble.

But I did love the outfit,
and I loved her dancing.

- All right, let's move
on down to Nymphia.

- When I saw that she was
doing Dr. Jane Goodall,

I was like,"
this could be funny."

She could really have a monkey
of a time with this one.

She did not execute it
very well.

Actually, she executed.
She just killed it dead.

- Yeah, but her butoh
Japanese dance, gorgeous.

It had this Mrs. Havisham,
decaying look to it.

- Sapphira.

Hey! James Brown.

- I absolutely loved her choice.

I loved her jokes.
What I loved most

is how free she was
with the character.

- I love James Brown so much.

Listen, I wish Sapphira could
have gone further with it,

but I was satisfied that
someone had the guts to do it.

- A dancing queen majorette
for "Drag U" shows reverence

for the history of this progrum.

She has fun with it,

and that's what drag
is all about.

- All right, let's move
on down to Morphine.

- When she did her Snatch Game,
I thought,

"Am I on morphine right now?"

- No, but she was.
- I'm getting very sleepy.

- I think there was
opportunity for more comedy.

You can't make that shit up,
you know,

even though I'm sure
I know people like that.

- But on the runway,

I thought she looked beautiful.

Her paint tonight,
that face was si-tting.

- Mhi'ya.
- On the runway,

we all knew exactly who
she was, where she was.

We probably could even hear
a song in our head.

- And I don't know
that much about Trina,

but now I'm in love
with her cousin.

It was the first time where
we got to know Mhi'ya.

- And she was having fun.

And that's what Snatch Game
is all about.

Let's move on down
to Plane Jane.

- She always had an answer
for you

because she was living it,

so she didn't have
to rely on planted bits.

- She had really sussed
that character out

so that I could have
thrown anything at her,

and she was prepared to answer.

- That's why I thought
she made her up.

- That's right, yes, right.
- Yeah.

- Thought her dance
was beautiful but tame.

But she just looked so beautiful

that it was hard to fault her.

- So Kyra, what character would
you do on the Snatch Game?

Um, Madeline Kahn.

My gosh.

I've been with thousands of men.

Again and again,
they promise the moon.

They keep on coming and going
and going and coming

and always too soon.

Condragulations.

You are the winner
of this week's challenge.

Thank you.

- All right, silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Da.

- Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Sapphira, this week,
you made the judges feel good!

- Ha ha!

- You're safe.
- Thank you.

I'm gagged.

What if Mhi'ya won?
- Girl.

- I would shit.

- Plane Jane, this week,

you get a BBW,

a Big Beautiful Win.

Condragulations.

You're the winner of
this week's challenge.

- Thank you.

- And you've won
a cash prize of $5,000.

- Spasibo, RuPaul.

- Da.

My God!

I won the Snatch Game! Aah!

- Stupid fucking bitch.

- Mhi'ya Iman, this week,
you turned Le'Paige, girl.

Keep it up.

You are safe.

- Thank you.

Xunami Muse, tonight,
your salsa was spicy,

but your Snatch Game gave us
a golden toothache.

Nymphia Wind, your runway look
was perfection,

but your Jane Goodall
wasn't good at all.

Morphine, tonight,
you came painted for the gods,

but you had trouble
reinventing Anna.

Nymphia Wind...

you are safe.

- You may join the other girls.

- Thank you, Ru.

- Xunami and Morphine,
I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

- I am shocked that Xunami
and I are in the bottom.

This is like...

This is hard, bitch.

This is not only my good Judy,

but this has been
my best friend, my rock,

this entire competition,

and I have
to lip sync against her.

- The time has come

for you to Lip Sync
for Your Life.

- It sucks to be lip-syncing
against my sister,

but we're in this together
till the end,

and we catch a glimpse
of each other.

And in that moment, we're like,

"Baby, let's give them a show."

- Good luck,
and don't fuck it up.

Whoo

Hey, yeah

I've been in love
and lost to my senses

Spinnin' through the town

Sooner or later, the fever ends

And I wind up feelin' down

I need a man
who'll take a chance

On a love that burns
hot enough to last

So when the night falls

My lonely heart calls

- Whoo!

I wanna dance

With somebody

I wanna feel the heat

Whoo, whoo!

Yeah, I wanna dance
with somebody

With somebody who loves me

Somebody who

Somebody who

To hold me in his arms,

I need a man to take a chance

- Xunami and I start
dancing together,

and it's just bringing me
so much joy.

We are just trying
to make the best

of a really bad situation.

My lonely heart calls

Aah!

I wanna dance with somebody

I wanna feel the heat
with somebody

Yeah, I wanna dance
with somebody

With somebody who loves me
- Aah!

Don't you wanna dance?

Say you wanna dance
- Wow.

- Don't you wanna
dance?
- Dance

Don't you wanna dance?

Say you wanna dance

Don't you wanna dance?

Don't you wanna dance?

Say you wanna dance

Dance

With somebody who loves me

- Ladies, I've made my decision.

- Morphine, shantay, you stay.

You may join the other girls.

- Thank you.

- Attention world,
seek higher ground.

A Xunami is coming.

Now sashay away.

- Thank you.

You've forever changed my life.

Don't cry because I left.

Celebrate because I exist.

Bye.

- Work!

- I'm going out gracefully
and beautifully.

I'm gonna take my L,
but I definitely wish

I would have been able to stay
longer because I wanted

to show my looks.

They're cunt.

I didn't even show my best shit.

All of these girls,

they definitely have a spot
in my heart.

And I had
an incredible amount of fun.

I'm a Ru girl now, bitch.

- Condragulations, queens.

And remember,
if you cannot love yourself,

how in the hell you gonna
love somebody else?

Answer me that.

- How much for one rib?

All right,
now let the music play.

A little bit of love

Goes a long, long way

Lifting you up to a brighter day

Can you feel the love?

- Next time on
"RuPaul's Drag Race"...

You need to create
a neo-Goth look.

- Yes!

My God, Nymphia,
you can't do yellow.

- I still don't know what
my dress is going to look like.

- You look like
a beautiful nightmare.

- You're a superstar
when it comes to fashion.

- How did you make
a whole dress like that

and you don't sew?

- There is no more
playing it safe.

You either go full to the wall,
or you're gone.

A little bit of love

Goes a long, long way

Lifting you up to a brighter day

A little bit of love

Goes a long, long way

Turn it around
when you up and say

Everybody say love

Love, love

Love, love, love

Love, can you feel the love?
