Original subtitles

[RuPaul] Previously on All Stars...

For this week's maxi challenge,

you'll host your own legendary club night.

[cheers and applause]

You ready to make a club?

Yeah, girl. I'm so excited.

This looks better than the Mona Lisa.

Aah! My manicure! Does this come off?

Fuck.

Honey, welcome to Club Hive.

-Yes! -Yeah.

Whoo.

-Sell me the garment. -Sell that garment.

Latrice Royale, Trinity The Tuck.

Con-drag-ulations.

You are the top two All Stars of the week.

[applause] Oh, my God.

I want to be fighting my way to the top with you.

I'm really good friends with Valentina.

[Naomi] If friendship is how

we are going to judge this competition,

I'm going to be very disappointed.

Latrice Royale, you're a winner, baby.

I had to choose Valentina.

My dear Valentina,

sashay away.

[laughs]

Oh!

[Latrice] That's the best.

"Ugh! I have to pack.

Love you all, Valentina."

Short and sweet.

So true.

We are mourning the loss of our dear departed Valentina.

And you know

that is the most expensive red lipstick she owned.

[all laugh]

[Latrice] It's a little weird

without her energy in the room,

and we miss her whole spirit of like existence.

That was really super, super hard,

because Valentina and I had really bonded on the road,

and then I watched her grow so much.

She really is the most passionate queen

I've ever, ever met.

We'll miss her and her French vanilla fantasy.

French vanilla fantasy.

French vanilla fantasy, honey.

[sighs] It's just a sigh of relief

I get to continue in this competition.

-Love you, Valy. -Love you, Valentina.

Valentina made the most

out of her little Latina, like, pop star fantasy,

but it was her time to go home.

Goodbye, Valentina.

Mi amor. [laughs]

Miss Trinity, who did you vote for?

[Trinity] This was a hard decision.

I decided to vote for Valentina

because even though we're friends,

Valentina was the weakest.

I have to just say how much respect I have for both of you.

It seems like you really judged fairly,

and I really appreciate that.

Don't get me wrong.

Like, my decision to keep you wasn't to save you.

I already told all y'all bitches

I want to be in the top with the best.

And if I'm gonna win, I want to beat the best.

These are strong bitches here.

The stakes are really high,

and there's no telling who's going to do what

and who's going to get the chop next.

I've won twice,

and I've been in the bottom once.

[Manila] I have been safe--

[Trinity] No, you've had three wins.

-Three wins. -And no bottoms.

-And no bottoms. -Oh, okay.

Bitch.

I've had three wins and one bottom.

[Monique] At this point in the competition,

I really--I think that, you know, Manila and Trinity

are two people who have been doing steadily well.

And I feel like they are probably

the two fiercest girls in the competition.

I think we all should just realize

that this is the top six right now.

[Manila] For reals. [Latrice] For real-real.

I consider every single one of you guys

competition at this point.

Yeah, yeah, the same. Next week will be different.

Because I don't know what this week's challenge

-is going to be. -Yeah.

I can find myself in the bottom.

At this point, honey, anybody can go home next.

So, look, get your mind right,

don't spend your money on one spot,

and we gotta what? Be fierce.

Here's the T, girl, okay?

People still want to play fair.

I think that's the general consensus.

But it's getting closer to the top four,

and I want to be at the end with a crown and a scepter,

and I will do whatever it takes to get there.

Wig coming off. Ugh. Damn.

Oh, wait a minute. The photos have changed.

-Oh. -What?

[Monét] Okay.

We walk in the workroom, girl,

and it is Judy, Judy, Judy.

Category is Judy the Dame,

the empress, the love of America.

Judy Garland has replaced RuPaul, girl.

I love that picture right there

with her hands above her head.

We are definitely not in Kansas anymore.

What does this mean? What does it mean?

It means that Judy's gonna be in this building,

and it's gonna be through us.

[Trinity] Somewhere over the rainbow, bitch.

[alarm]

[cheers] Oh, girl.

She done already done had herses.

[Latrice] Herses.

Hey, Harvey Girls.

If you want to catch the Easter Parade,

Meet Me in St. Louis.

Ooh.

Because A Star Is Born,

and she's Girl Crazy.

Now, I Could Go On Singing,

but The Clock Is Ticking.

Toto, she better don't.

[all laugh]

Judy Garland. We're doing something--

-I mean, obviously. -Obviously.

Hello, hello, hello.

[cheers and applause]

-Colors. -Lovely.

Hey, All Stars.

Hey, Mom.

Now, this week we are paying tribute

to one of the greatest stars Hollywood has ever produced:

Judy Garland.

[cheers and applause]

Judy was a sensitive soul

whose magnificent voice in classic films

move us till this day.

Now, it's been 50 years since Judy passed away,

and on the night of her funeral in June 1969,

the Stonewall riots occurred.

I didn't know that correlation.

[Trinity] Wow. I didn't know that either.

[RuPaul] Fed up with police harassment,

the patrons of the Stonewall

used their grief over Judy's death

to rise up and fight back,

and the gay liberation movement was born.

[Latrice] Amen. [Trinity] Wow.

Now, in the past, asking "Are you a friend of Dorothy's?"

was a secret code

to help closeted people identify each other.

[Trinity Really? [Latrice] Yeah.

And still today,

I call my closest friends my "Best Judys."

So for this week's maxi challenge,

you'll be making over your Best Judys.

-Aah! -What?

My heart just sank, bitch.

And here they are.

Let's say hello to Naomi's Best Judy, Ricardo.

Aah!

I clicked my heels three times and I'm here.

I'm so excited to see Ricardo.

Hi. [laughs]

Oh, he's like the best person ever.

He has been there since the birth of Naomi when--

before Naomi was even using setting powder. Ugh.

Let's say hello to Monique's Best Judy,

Danny. Come on out, Danny.

[Monique screams]

[Danny] Everything's gonna be okay, baby.

-Girl, you got a moustache. -I do.

Monét's Best Judy, Patty.

[screams] Patty!

You don't call, you don't text!

Patty!

Everybody's so hairy.

And Latrice's Best Judy, Tim.

No, ma'am, Pam.

Hello, everybody, Latrice.

Aah!

-Oh, my God. -Oh, fuck.

Trinity's Best Judy, Leo.

[gasps]

Hi, honey, I'm home.

It's my boyfriend.

Aw.

Oh.

[Trinity] Leo really is my best friend.

He's my partner. I've missed him so much.

That's so sweet.

[Latrice] All right, now, PG-13, honey.

I think they're closer friends than we thought.

[all laugh] Yeah.

And speaking of close,

Manila's Best Judy, Michael is here.

Surprise.

Come here!

I love you.

Oh, my God, it's my husband,

my brand-new husband Michael.

Oh, fuck, you guys.

Aw.

-Hi, Michael. -Ciao, hola.

All Stars, each of you needs to transform your Best Judy

into your very own drag sister.

Family resemblance required.

Now you can use your own drag,

plus materials from the F&S fabric wall,

makeup from Anastasia Beverly Hills,

and hair provided by Rock Star Wigs.

[Monique] Ooh.

#AllStars4.

And there's just one more thing.

In addition to your makeovers,

each pair needs to choreograph and perform

a very special musical tribute to Judy Garland.

Oh, my God. [laughter and applause]

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the Best Judys win.

Yes.

[laughter and applause]

All right.

Patty.

Girl, our Judys are here.

After all of these goops and loops, honey,

it's just really nice to have those that you love around.

And I would really love to win with my boo-boo.

Oh, my God, it's been so long.

Welcome to my world.

Tim and I met 25 years ago, I guess it is now.

How you doing, though?

I'm good. How are you?

-Whew. -How has this been?

A rollercoaster, bitch.

We have a bond that's like unbreakable.

He's my best man for my wedding.

I sure hope they've reinforced that stage with lug nuts.

[both laugh]

[Latrice] It feels so good

to have a little piece of home in the workroom.

Wait. But did you miss the action?

I really did.

Girl, I see you every day.

I like literally have just been

like sitting at home doing nothing.

-Lies. -No, seriously.

You're full of shit.

I've watched everything I can possibly watch on Netflix.

I fucking love Patty.

Patty's not just one of my best friends,

he's also my assistant.

Patty knows some secrets, but we don't tell nobody, okay?

So, boo, so take her and her.

Let me get the other ones.

This makeover challenge is scary.

I'll be lying if I told you that I was excited,

that I knew I was going to turn the party, 'cause I don't.

The fact of the matter is

this challenge sent me home last time.

Last season, girl, you know, this was my downfall.

[Michelle] There is no family resemblance,

apart from a pair of glasses.

So if I don't do well, it's your fault.

[laughs]

Girl.

Me and Patty are just so vastly different.

I'm 5-11, she's 5-4.

I'm black as hell, she white as hell.

There is nothing that Patty and I have

that resembles each other.

We both might be gay. That's about it.

[Patty] I'm like nervous, though.

-I can't fuck this up. -[laughs]

-Do you know what I mean? -I know.

Look, this is where we stop and do a little

sway, sway, sway.

Oh, she's heavy.

Today's maxi challenge is to make over our Best Judy.

My best friend.

-Hi. Hi. -This is my brother.

-Danny. -Danny.

[Monét] It's just nice to have somebody else in the workroom

to talk to besides these ugly bitches.

Love, all in the room.

But, bitch, don't forget.

Somebody is getting chopped.

Oh, this is going to be gorgeous on you.

Oh, wow. I feel like a woman already.

[laughs] You look like a woman.

You look.. gay Jesus.

[laughs]

Wow.

Oh, look at this.

[Manila] Michael has been my biggest supporter

since I met him.

He has just always come through and surprised me

and just brought this happiness to my life.

So him being here is so special to me.

I could just hug you all day.

Okay, but no, no, no.

We're here to strategize and make this a win.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Walk there and walk back.

Girl, I cannot...

[laughs]

Category is praying mantis.

[Naomi] This challenge scares me,

not necessarily because I'm scared

I can't make Ricardo look amazing.

Hips forward.

But because I've never been in the top two,

and last week I was in the bottom two.

I have to do well this challenge or my ass is going home.

Like plain and simple.

[imitating Cary Grant] Judy, Judy, Judy.

-Hey. -Hey, Ru.

♪ Hi, Ru ♪

Hi, Monique Heart.

Danny, is that your real nose?

-It is. -It's gorgeous.

Thank you.

You both have beautiful noses.

Is that the secret to a friendship like yours?

I think so. Cheekbones and noses.

-Literally. -[laughs]

Now, Monique, you've known Danny for a while,

and now you are known worldwide as Monique Heart.

How has that changed your relationship?

I see him a lot less, but Danny has been my friend

that when I am stressed or going through it,

I can see him from across the room and I'm like, I'm okay.

My elimination I did not process well,

and he was there to be like...

Danny is my best friend

that I can just let my hair down and be a hot mess,

and know that it's a safe space, and I'm not judged,

and I love him.

I'm gonna get real with this one for a minute.

You know, we have a tendency to judge people on this program.

I know that.

She's standing up there on the stage,

and when it comes to her time to be judged, she's like this.

She's like, motherfucker, you better--

what you got to say?

How do you interpret that?

It's her obviously covering something up

and just like kind of masking her true feelings at that point.

You are putting a judgment on your vulnerability.

And so when you take away that judgment,

then you can just let it be.

Judy is an important person in gay history,

because she embodies both strength and vulnerability.

That's why we talk about this bitch today.

Yep.

-Do you love drag? -I do love drag.

-Why? -For me, it's a safe place

where Kevin gets to be loved and appreciated for who he is.

It's a beautiful thing,

and we get to share that with the world

and show other kids, other Kevins out there,

other Dannys out there,

how to create a place where fantasy comes to life.

I've been longing to have a tender moment with Ru,

and I get to have that with Ru and my Judy, my best friend,

and that is so amazing.

Judy, Judy, Judy. Yes.

-Amen. -All right.

I'll see y'all in a minute.

-Trinity and Leo. -Yes.

Now, is it kind of weird putting your lover into drag?

Um, it does feel weird,

because I don't see him like that.

And I've never thought I would date a drag queen.

-Uh-huh. -Honey.

There's a first time for everything.

-Yeah. -I don't know what to expect.

I've never seen him in drag.

He's a handsome boy,

but I don't know if he's gonna be a pretty girl.

And what if he's prettier than me?

The biggest question that comes to mind

is if you're gonna be part of the Tuck Dynasty,

how are you going to tuck all of that?

Oh, you got the spray adhesive there.

[laughs]

What you need?

[RuPaul] Leo, are you afraid of that?

[Leo] I think that's okay.

He's witch queen realness right now,

but we're gonna try to get him a little finesse.

Uh-huh. Trust me, there is a sissy

who lives in every man who walks this earth.

Yeah.

Bring that sissy forth.

We got to find the twinkletoes.

Yes. All right, I'll see y'all in a minute.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Hi, Monét, hi, Patty.

-Hi. -Hi, Ru.

What's Patty short for, Patrick?

Yes.

Top of the morning to ya, Patrick.

-[laughs] [RuPaul] How'd y'all meet again?

Bob the Drag Queen introduced us.

And when you launched my star for "Drag Race,"

Patty has been traveling with me

around the world and around the country.

-Oh, really? -Yeah.

So this is a makeover challenge, bitch, you know.

-Ru. -Oh, girl.

You know, it was a makeover challenge

that sent your black ass home last time.

PTSD, girl.

What are you gonna do

to make sure that you are not holding

that Tweeterhead maquette at the end of this challenge?

I really want to make sure that we look like family

and like sell that fantasy

that we were birthed from the same vagina.

We are getting a razor and we are shaving them brows off.

You're gonna shave the brows off?

-Absolutely. -You know, I came in

like really willing to do whatever--

We are dedicated to the cause, Ru.

-Because you shave yours off. -I sure do.

Yeah, shave that shit off. It grows back.

I'm gonna be single a little bit longer.

[all laugh] [RuPaul] Right.

All right, well, listen,

I can't wait to see y'all out there.

-Thank you, Ru. -Do it for Judy.

-Amen. -All right.

-See you later. -Thank you, Ru.

[laughter] [RuPaul] Hi, Michael.

-Hi. Hi, Ru. -Hi, Manila.

-Hi, RuPaul. -The happy couple.

-You're married. -Yes, we are.

Now, how weird is it gonna be to see your husband in drag?

It's gonna be interesting.

He hasn't really expressed any interest in doing drag.

So, padding, hips, the whole thing.

You're going to do it all.

We're going to do all of it.

He's going to be in so much pain

that after we're done here,

he will never be able to complain

-about me being bitchy in drag. -Uh-huh.

[laughs]

Now, Michael has a very demure disposition.

Yes, but that's because I haven't put him in drag yet.

[RuPaul] That's right.

You've got to be prepared for that, Michael,

because you never know what's going to emerge.

And it's like I'm going to get a whole new husband.

-I love that. -Or wife.

Or rival.

-Oh. -Girl.

This is going to be a lot of fun.

-Thanks for the opportunity. -Thank you.

And thanks for bringing my husband.

Now come back when you're pregnant.

-Okay. -[both laugh]

-Should we get pregnant? -Let's go.

[both laugh]

-Hi, Naomi. -Hello, Ru.

Ru, this is Ricardo. Ricardo, Ru.

Yes, yes, yes. Now, have you done drag?

I haven't done drag in the full gear, so I feel--

I've seen photos of attempts.

Like Halloween stuff?

-Like CVS stuff. -Oh, my God.

Yes, a light liquid foundation.

-Exactly. Right. -Yes.

What drag are you planning?

We could go to go really safe and be flouncy and fashiony,

but I kind of want to shock and like do like--

I want there to be concept.

I don't want to just be like

two pretty people walking down the runway.

Yeah. Are your hands shaking?

I'm always shaking. [laughs]

Why? What is that?

I'm just nervous.

Okay, just go deep for a minute.

What are you afraid might happen?

It's really about me saying the wrong thing

-or looking like a fool. -Okay.

In front of someone I look up to so much.

Okay, yeah, okay. This is the key to this.

-Please, say the wrong thing. -Mm-hmm.

And please act like a fool.

This entire competition,

I have been playing it very safe.

But this is the time to step outside the box

and make Ru proud.

Now, put this bitch up into drag.

You better make some coin.

All right, I'll see you guys later.

-Okay, Thank you, Ru. -Thank you so much.

Hey, Latrice.

-Hi, Tim. -Hi.

Now, Tim, have you done drag before?

In '94, I got a wild hair

and said, "Latrice, I wanna do drag."

And I told everybody my name's gonna be Alexis Knight.

Alexis Knight. With a K.

So I get all done up, prettied up,

I open the door, all my friends are in the living room.

I'm like introducing Alexis Knight.

And this one yells, "Good night, Alexis, good night."

[all laugh]

Oh, no.

So 24 years later, here's your shot.

She's coming back.

The Knight is upon us.

-[laughs] -Yes.

Tell me about your relationship.

We have been through some times together.

[Tim] There's those people in your life

that you just call and go, "I need you now."

And it doesn't matter when or what time,

they come to your house,

and they leave you when you're better.

It just goes without saying.

Yeah.

You were there for her when she was incarcerated.

Yes.

I had a drug charge,

violated the terms of my probation,

and the judge gave me 18 months.

The storage unit that all of his stuff was in

was auctioned off without any of us knowing,

so the last weekend of furloughs,

I literally went out and got a bunch of fabric,

and I said, "Today, we workin'."

And we just cut out outfits and sat there and sewed all day.

And when he left, he had six outfits

so that he could get out and start working right away.

I can't ever repay him for helping me get my life back.

You know, that just touches my heart,

because I've had similar situations in my life

when I was down and out.

And my friends, just like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz

in the poppy fields,

when she just decided to lay down for a while,

who called me up and said, "You get your ass up.

I'm here to remind you who you are."

And you need those friends.

And that's why it's so important

that you're here for this Judy challenge,

because the Best Judys we collect

in this lifetime that we have,

that we need at those times when we don't have anybody else.

They're so special.

I'm so happy that you are here.

You lifted her up when she needed you.

Now she's gonna lift you up so that Miss Alexis Knight

can live in the broad daylight, honey.

[laughs] Yes!

-Gonna let you have it. -Hold me back, honey.

All right, see you in a minute.

All right.

[Latrice] I love you so much.

The Judys from New York City.

-♪ She's a super queen ♪ -Oh, reveal.

[Manila] It's elimination day,

and we have to put our Best Judys in full drag,

do a Judy Garland tribute number,

and then walk down the stage with a family resemblance.

It's going to be a long day, kids.

-Everything happens today. -Happens today.

The challenge, the runway. How stressful is that?

Like, exhausting.

And then it gets emotionally draining, too,

-because somebody's going home. -So it's like a rollercoaster.

Yeah. It's a rollercoaster.

You got all this high going on and adrenaline pumping,

and then it's like ♪ dun-dun-dun ♪

There's not many of us left.

Bitches are gonna do what they wanna do.

Scrap, scrap, scrap, scrap.

And I feel like

if I'm in the bottom at this point in the competition,

they might feel like I've had too many chances

and send me home.

So I'm trying to be on top.

Always, from here out.

[Naomi] Beards are masks.

Men hide behind beards like women hide behind makeup.

And once we shave that off,

who the hell knows who's underneath there?

I have always hated Patty's moustache,

You look like seven years old.

Oh, no facial hair.

I'm sad a little bit.

I'm doing Latrice.

[all laugh]

What about you, Naomi?

My look tonight?

Yeah, girl. Whatcha doing?

I'm actually going to do a little bit of boy drag.

-What? -Yeah.

Because I've been playing it safe

Come on, boy drag?

I can't wait to see you, bitch.

Are you painting the Holy Ghost over here, bitch?

Can you go back over there with your little man?

[Trinity] I know she pale.

She probably ain't never seen the sun.

But, bitch, give her some cheeks.

[gasps]

Oh, my God.

I love it.

Ahh. Oh, my God. [laughs]

I think I might have created a monster.

I might have to put a lock on my drag room.

Um, you're so beautiful,

I might need to have a private moment with my new wife.

We'll be back, darling.

Oh. Okay.

That looks good.

In the words of Alyssa Edwards, beast!

The outfits that I'm putting us in

probably don't need to tuck, but I don't care.

I want my husband to have the full experience.

And I still want to touch my husband's dick.

Whoa. [rip]

Aah!

Aah!

Oh, I'm sorry, baby.

[rip]

Maybe I should have told him

that he should trim down there a little bit.

Uhh!

-You ready? [Leo] Yes.

You sure?

Size doesn't necessarily matter with tucking.

Like, you can have a big thing and tuck just fine.

[rip]

And Leo is just gifted all down there.

[Leo] This is a new sensation.

Pull it to the left. [rip]

Pull it to the right. Pull it back.

[rip] [Leo] Whoo.

We're having to use a whole fucking roll.

[rip] Oh.

Girl, she's gotta stay up. Feel tight there?

-Yes. -Feel secure?

It better be. Ooh!

Category is Best Judys.

First up, Latrice Royale & Alexis Knight.

Blondes have more...hair.

[all laugh]

[Latrice] We are strutting down this runway

like two big ol' bitches that are large and in charge.

Big hair, big jewels,

just full-on Latrice Royale fantasy.

[Michelle] The best little whorehouse in Sylmar.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Monique Heart & Shanida Heart.

[Carson] Well, you know, they always say

the eyes are the window to the spleen.

[all laugh]

[Michelle] Their jokes are cornea.

Oh.

[Monique] Me and my good Judy, Miss Shanida Heart

have our lovely avant garde optical illusion costumes on.

[Carson] Oh, my God, they just crossed their eyes.

[all laugh]

[Monique] Looking gorgeous,

goop for the gods, winking at the judges.

[Carson] Blink twice if your feet hurt.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Manila Luzon & Iyowife Luzon.

[Michelle] Aren't they well suited?

[all laugh]

[Frances] I see a queen.

[RuPaul] Well, I hear they're not

playing with a full deck.

[all laugh]

[Manila] Iyowife and I are queens from the deck.

She is the queen of diamonds

because, hello, she's a married lady.

And I'm the queen of clubs, because I love to go clubbing.

We are serving poke-her realness.

We are royalty, darling.

[Carson] Now is that a pair of queens?

I know it's definitely not a straight.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Naomi Smalls & Extra Smalls.

Ooh.

[Frances] Gypsies, tramps, and thieves.

[Naomi] My runway look is full-on Cher fantasy.

[Michelle] Ooh. [all laugh]

Just got a lot Sonny-er.

She's giving me a Bono. [all laugh]

[Naomi] My Sonny look is kind of feminine

because he was kind of feminine,

and the Seventies were a great time for androgyny.

I could just show off my wife Cher,

and what's a better way to honor than through love?

Stupid. [all laugh]

[RuPaul] Trinity The Tuck & Indigo The Tuck.

You know, the McGuire sisters haven't been the same

since Dottie left us.

[all laugh]

[Trinity] This is an expensive tuck, bitch.

We look good in our Versace.

We are twinning for the win.

Move over, bitches, because Indigo is coming through.

[Carson] They're snatched.

[Michelle] Has anybody been able to find

that Chattanooga choo-choo?

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Monét X Change & Patty Cash.

Monét, you look like the mother of a Solid Gold dancer.

[Frances] Stay golden, kitty girl.

[Carson] Well, I know who wears the pants in this family.

[all laugh]

[Monét] We are serving New York City's finest.

She's giving you a little Dita Von Teese.

I'm giving you a little black chocolate Judy Garland, honey.

We look good. I feel like we look expensive.

And we both have the X Change family secret:

a big ol' booty.

[Carson] There's gold in them there cheeks.

[all laugh]

Welcome, ladies.

It's time for the judges' critiques,

starting with Monique Heart and Shanida Heart.

There's no nose contouring needed there, is there?

You make a gorgeous woman. Oh, my God.

Thank you. I know.

[all laugh]

Family resemblance, I mean,

you obviously both have the same eyes.

Hee-hee.

Thanks. I'm here every Thursday.

-Try the veal. -[laughs]

But I love the details of this.

I love the campiness of the eyes

because you both see the world the same way.

And I thought the wittiness behind that

really shows how in sync you are.

Thank you.

Your performance, it was messy.

I'm not gonna lie.

But I do want to compliment you

on how great your makeup has been consistently.

Where you've got it, you stay with it.

The color is perfect.

Up next, Monét X Change and Patty Cash.

Cha-ching.

[all laugh]

Monét, you've never looked more gorgeous.

I just thought this was really a great winning/twinning look.

-Thank you. -Let's get to your performance.

It was so brilliant.

Oh, I was about to say, oh, God.

You had the aura, the essence, the steps,

the faces, the little Judy-isms.

They were all there, and I had chills.

I don't get chills.

-Maybe it's menopause. -Maybe.

[all laugh]

I really loved it.

I enjoyed every moment watching you guys.

I soaked it all in.

Yes! Michelle, you see.

No more sponges. Frances, don't encourage.

[Frances laughs]

Up next, Manila Luzon and Iyowife Luzon.

Both of you really understood

the theatrical element of what you were doing.

And you looked like you were having so much fun.

However, flip side.

This look on the runway was not doing it for me.

It's a little not what I'm used to from Manila Luzon.

Everything that you've brought so far

has been so elaborate and so fun,

and this is just a little costume shop for me.

Kind of looks like maybe like a goddess costume

that you threw some, like, some card memorabilia on top of.

And also, no family resemblance.

It's like distant cousins, maybe, you know?

Okay.

What the judges may not know is that y'all's married.

Michael... [sighs]

Michael was there for me

when I was really having a hard time after I lost Sahara.

And it felt like she sent him to come help comfort me

while I was going through all the pain.

And he's been so supportive of my career.

So thank you so much for bringing him here.

This means so much to both of us.

Thank you. That's beautiful.

Up next, Latrice Royale and Alexis Knight.

Ooh, girl.

You know, Latrice, when you step out on stage,

each and every time, you fill my heart with joy.

-However-- -Oh, damn.

Let's talk about your dance.

What I got from it was an overwhelming sense

of you wanting to help your partner

that you were forgetting to keep yourself in the game.

Your smile was on the whole time, don't get me wrong,

but I felt like your mind was elsewhere.

The performance is, you know, a little bit awkward,

but what stood out more for me was the charisma and the love

that just comes out of your face.

I mean, I don't know you, but I would love to know you,

because you seem like a really beautiful soul.

[Michelle] Tonight on the runway,

there's a disconnect with family resemblance.

I felt like the makeup's totally different.

The outfits are totally different.

The color scheme is totally different.

That is two different looks. It really is.

If you want to pitch me on it, I'm open to--

Fire and ice, red and blue, baby.

-Hot and cold. -Fire and ice.

What you're giving me. [laughs]

[laughs] Bitch, that's what I do day in and day out.

Touché.

I kind of get the family resemblance.

I see, you know, the lip color is the same,

the same kind of idea with the eye makeup,

the same jewelry.

You're kind of like both on the same episode of Drag Dynasty.

I get it. I get the family thing.

Now, Alexis Knight,

I know that you had a premiere many years ago,

but this is sort of a comeback for you.

How does the comeback feel?

Well, I thought it went a lot better

than the judges thought, I guess.

[all laugh]

I have a completely different respect

for all the ladies up here on stage.

This is hard.

Up next, Naomi Smalls and Extra Smalls.

It's Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.

[Ellen] I loved the performance.

You're both super-graceful.

You know, you took chances.

You did things that nobody else did,

-and you had fun. -Thank you so much.

You came out with two Chers. We're like, okay.

That's a clever twist on family members.

And then when you did the wig reveal and you gave us our Bono,

that was really clever and fun, and you still look chic.

I am obsessed with these looks.

Like this makeup is just like va-va-voom stunning.

And this male reveal kept it very effeminate.

[Michelle] Here's the best part of it all.

You look like you're related.

You did a great job with that.

Thank you.

Naomi, in the workroom,

I challenged you to make mistakes and to be goofy,

and you did and it paid off.

So thanks for Cher-ing.

[all laugh]

Up next, Trinity The Tuck.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration,

Indigo The Tuck.

We're gonna start with your Judy number.

It was very simple, but very effective.

There wasn't really great choreography.

There wasn't a lot to it.

But there was such a great connection

between the two of you.

[Ellen] Right now, with this look,

you're giving me Linda Evangelista

and Christy Turlington from the Versace runway from 1987.

This is family resemblance.

It's not identical,

you're nodding to each other's outfits,

and it's flawless tonight.

-Thank you. -You know, I've always said,

drag doesn't change who you are.

It actually reveals who you are.

I'm so proud of each of you to be gracious enough

to share that other side of yourself

with our family and families around the world.

Auditions for Season 12 starts tomorrow.

[all laugh]

Now, based on your Best Judys performances

and presentations, I've made some decisions.

Monét X Change.

Naomi Smalls.

Con-drag-ulations.

You are the top two All Stars of the week.

[cheers]

You've each won a trip for two to Iceland.

-What? -Oh!

[RuPaul] Including first-class airfare,

and a four-night stay at Design Hotel,

courtesy of Pink Iceland and Wow Air.

You go. I'll take you.

And your Best Judys have each won

a $1.000 gift card from Klein, Epstein & Parker.

Guess you're gonna get a suit?

Trinity The Tuck, you're safe.

Thank you.

Monique Heart, you're safe.

That means Manila Luzon and Latrice Royale,

I'm sorry, my dears, but you are in the bottom two.

Best friends.

Monét and Naomi,

each of you needs to decide

which of the bottom queens you'll eliminate

if you win the lip sync.

So while you queens deliberate in the workroom,

the judges and I will be creating

a RuPaul's Drag Race time capsule.

[all chuckle]

Ladies, you may leave the stage.

Naomi Smalls.

-Finally. -Yeah, sis.

Is this what it feels like? [all laugh]

I'm finally in the top, thank the Lord.

I needed this so bad.

It feels like it's been a long time coming.

But I'm living in this moment,

and this feels like where I'm supposed to be.

It feels good to be home. [laughs]

Congratulations, Naomi.

-Yay. -Thank you.

It's a long time coming, bitch.

It really was. Tick tock, motherfucker.

Congratulations, Monét.

-Thank you. -Yes, congratulations.

Thank you, thank you, girl.

This is the challenge that sent me home last time, girl.

-It feels-- -Ru-demption, huh?

Girl, it feels so good to win it,

because a makeover is fucking hard.

I'm not a makeup artist.

-We know. -I know how to paint my--

[all laugh] Oh, damn.

The Best Judys find themselves in the bottom.

-[laughs] -Oh, my God.

Isn't that crazy?

-The meta of it all. -Wow.

But I think that we do have obviously

the decision that has to be made.

And I would love to talk to Man-la--I was--

-Latrila. -I almost said Latrila.

Latrila is up for elimination.

That's the hard gaggerini of the whole situation,

because I don't want her to go,

and I know she don't want me to go.

But this is the way the cookie crumbles.

-Can I talk to you-- -Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah.

-Do want me to take the couch? -Of course.

I love Manila, don't get me wrong.

But if it comes down to I'm not about to sacrifice myself

and say, oh, let me go home, you stay.

Girl, please.

Girl, I'll see you on the other side.

[laughs] What?

You know without me having to say it

how much being here means to me.

-Yeah. -It's no secret that,

bitch, I'm on a mission and want to be here.

And I can say this.

Manila has done an exceptional job in this competition.

-She really has. -Yeah.

She is now in the bottom. Today's that day.

We have separate stories.

I have come from a situation where I have been eliminated

and fought my way back in here

to show people that I really mean business.

You understand what I'm saying?

Girl, let me tell you this, okay?

There is no T and no shade,

but Latrice has not been doing as well as the rest of us.

Latrice is a legendary queen.

Latrice is fierce.

Everybody loves Latrice Royale.

But if you are judging a cooking competition,

I'm judging you on this flat-ass souffle

you made today, not the beautiful confection

you made last month. That doesn't matter.

It's we are here and now, and this is the moment.

Live in this moment.

I am filtering through my feelings, you know.

[Latrice] Yeah, filter through them,

and make it based off

of who you want to see be here.

Like, that's just what it boils down to at this point.

'Cause there's six of us, and it's like,

well, who do I want to be in the top with?

Yeah.

Girl.

First of all, congratulations on your win.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

I'm really proud of you.

Thank you so much.

And thank you so much for the damn moustache.

[both laugh] Legit.

Thank you for making--

I'm so happy that I was able to use it.

Well, I wasn't expecting to be here today,

so I'm a little gagged.

But with so few girls,

just any little thing can land you in the bottom.

I mean, it was bound to happen after a certain point.

You've been slaying the competition, though.

With the--thank you.

[Naomi] I grew up watching Manila Luzon.

Like, I first started watching RuPaul's Drag Race

when I was in junior high,

and that's when Manila was on her first season.

So it's fucking wild to be in this position.

What's it feel like being in the bottom with Latrice?

It's painful,

because I don't want Latrice to go home, obviously.

But now it's come to like, okay,

well, if I'm going to pick between my friend and myself,

I have to fight for myself.

So I would love to still be here.

This is my first time here in the bottom.

I've been slaying the competition.

I know I'm big competition.

Right.

Naomi and Monét have a choice right now.

They can get rid of their biggest competition

or they can keep me in the game

and fight with the biggest, the baddest, and the best.

So it's going to be up to them

to decide how they want to play this game.

If this is my last day here in Drag Race ever,

I know that I still have my life that goes on, you know.

And I have a great life and I'm blessed, you know.

And...

Manila, I seriously love you so much,

and I look up to you so much.

It's crazy that we're even in this fucking predicament.

Your work just speaks for you,

and your track record speaks for you.

Honestly, you're a legend.

Thank you.

Who do you think Naomi is going to pick?

I don't know.

It's Manila's first time in the bottom two.

[Monique] Very first time.

However, Latrice saved her last week.

[gasps] That's right.

What do you think Monét's going to do?

I...I...

She's your friend.

But I don't know.

Remember when Monét was in the bottom,

Manila was going to send Monét home.

I just can't deny what's in my heart.

You know how loyal I am to my friends.

So I'm so sorry.

The goopery.

Girl.

I don't agree with my position here today.

I feel like Valentina when I say that.

[laughs]

I don't identify with me being the bottom,

um, but here I am.

And like, look,

I know I've been doing amazing in this competition.

And, you know, this week was very distracting

with our besties and our loved ones coming back,

and so maybe I fucked up a little bit.

You guys already listed me as, you know,

the biggest competition with Trinity here.

-Girl, yeah. -So, like, no hard feelings

if you just want to like send me packing.

-[laughs] -So you have--

So I can make it easy for the rest of y'all.

I don't think that Manila

feels the need to plead her case.

She wants to let her ranking in the competition

do all the talking.

And I think that it's a bold move for a bitch to do.

Maybe she should have started with

I'm so sorry for what I did last time

when you were in the bottom.

Like she should have went that away,

'cause if that was the case, I'd be like, ooh.

Keep.

-I love you, bitch. -Thanks.

Well, well, well.

Have the tides turned.

I don't know what the hell Naomi's going to do.

But last week, I saved her.

So let's not forget that.

You really had my back last week.

I really appreciate that you saw something in me that--

Oh, baby, it wasn't your time.

You understand what I'm saying?

And look what happened.

It was so fucking, the payoff.

I was so grateful,

and I respect you so much, 'cause you--

You needed your-- you needed your time, Naomi.

Thank you.

This is a peculiar situation.

Manila and I are both in the bottom.

How fucked up, you know what I mean?

Right.

But it's no secret, bitch,

that this ho wants, deserve to be here.

We want to play a fair game here,

and based on her track record, Manila deserves to be saved.

But Latrice saved my ass last week.

It's wild.

I don't necessarily want to feel these feelings.

This is what we came for, baby.

[Naomi] I want to do the right thing, but...

[sighs]

[cheers and applause]

It's really great to have our Judys here

and to have another person experience the stress

and the craziness that is RuPaul's Drag Race,

because you can describe it to people,

but until you live this life, girl,

you will never understand it.

How you doing, baby?

Mm, no.

No? No good for Loki?

It hurts me so much to see both of you in the bottom

when you both worked so hard.

And you look so fabulous.

And I look up to you so much.

Oh, Michael.

I'm really hurt because Michael has to experience this,

and I just don't want him to blame himself.

I want him to know that I failed us,

not him failing me.

The love that is radiating out of your bodies

is so inspiring.

So like the fact that this didn't work out for us,

I'm--baby, I am so proud.

I'm so happy--oh.

No more tears.

I'm the one that's trying to hold everybody together.

I've done this a lot.

She's usually the one crying her eyes out.

Oh, my God.

But it's like I'm so proud just to have you here.

Regardless, win, lose, or draw, fuck that.

This is what this is about.

And I have my best friend in the whole wide world here.

He's up in drag looking like a truck driver cross-dresser.

[laughs]

All other shit aside, like, the competition,

the risk of being eliminated, all that, fuck all that.

The only thing I'm concerned about

is that Tim is having an enjoyable experience.

I love you so much.

-We have now a great memory. -[sobs]

[Latrice] All the things we've been through,

this is one for the books.

Now the items in this here time capsule

need to tell people in 100 years

what Drag Race was all about.

Ellen?

I'm including the infamous

Season 1 filter A Navajo blanket.

Oh, my God, I miss that blanket.

[laughs]

I am including this photo of us from 1993.

It's the day I told you

to do a show called RuPaul's Drag Race.

[laughs] Oh.

I remember it well.

Michelle?

To honor all of our shameless plugs,

I'm including a fabulous collection

of these Sunday Riley beauty products,

including their incredible Good Genes All-In-One treatment.

Delicious.

Ooh, that's some good stuff.

And Carson.

In honor of the pit crew, who love their snacks,

I'm including this bag of nuts.

Ooh, child, get them nuts away from my face.

[all laugh]

Silence.

Bring back my All Stars.

[Monét] This decision is definitely harder

than I thought it would be.

If you'd asked me a few weeks ago,

bitch, if Manila even breathed wrong,

I'm like home. Bye.

But now that she's up against someone

who is not doing a good job in the competition,

it makes it a little harder to make a choice

and pull a lipstick.

It is a lot to think about.

But I know that I need to make a decision

that I feel good about,

and one that is going to leave me

feeling like I made the right decision for me.

These two queens walked in together handcuffed,

and now they're in the bottom two on death row.

[gasps] The irony of it all.

I just know that my heart is telling me

to go with my gut,

and my gut is telling me to go with my brain.

My brain is telling me to go with... [gasps]

[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.

Two top All Stars stand before me.

Ladies, this is your chance to impress me, win $10.000,

and earn the power

to give one of the bottom queens the chop.

The time has come... [thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] for your legacy!

Good luck,

and don't fuck it up.

Cha-ching, cha-ching.

[applause]

Monét X Change, you are safe.

You may join the other girls.

Now, will the bottom two queens please step forward.

Naomi Smalls, with great power comes great responsibility.

Which queen have you chosen to get the chop?

The queen I've chosen to get the chop tonight...

in this competition, you taught me to believe in myself

when I didn't even actually believe in myself.

And I really, really greatly appreciate you for that.

And I'm so sorry that I have to send home...

Manila.

Oh!

[RuPaul] Manila Luzon,

as it is written, so it shall be done.

You are and will always be an All Star.

Now sashay away.

[Monét] I love you, bitch.

Oh, um, correction, Ru.

That's "always will be a double All Star."

[all laugh]

Okay.

See you guys later.

Love you!

I don't know what I think

about me being eliminated tonight.

It's a lot to process,

especially this late in the game

after I've been doing so well.

But these queens have to do what's best for their game

just the same way that I was doing the best for my game.

It was a great--

Oh, hey, baby.

You're my winner.

And I have chicken dinner waiting for us at home.

[Manila] I have so many other blessings,

but this still definitely sucks,

because this has been a dream of mine for a really long time.

My husband, my wife, my partner in life

has always been a winner.

Con-drag-ulations, All Stars.

And remember, if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

Life's not fair.

[laughs]

For this week's maxi challenge,

you'll be overacting in a mockumentary,

Sex and the Kitty, Girl.

[laughter and applause] Oh, yes.

You look like you just seen a ghost.

Yeah, do that, please.

Do that.

-Cowabunga! -Oh!

I woke up about an hour ago.

Okay.

[laughs]

[Latrice] Today's elimination is the last one before the finale.

And that's a lot of pressure.

[Naomi] Maybe I think like our past scorecards

might have to start coming into play.

-That's bullshit. -I don't trust anybody now.

I know it would make great television

if Trinity got voted off.
