Original subtitles

Previously,

on RuPaul's Drag Race.

We are introducing the season 14 queens

over two episodes.

And before this premiere episode is over,

one of you will sashay away.

Welcome to the CNTs.

- You can go a little faster,

but I'm not going to,

'cause I got a hot shit in the chamber.

- I'm a little, um... confused.

June Jambalaya.

- Tonight on the runway,

I can see the dark shorts on under this.

The finishing touches are gonna matter, June.

Orion Story.

- You gotta have joke after joke after joke.

And they gotta land.

Kornbread with a K.

- I loved the song.

You were funny as hell.

- You are the winner of this week's challenge.

June Jambalaya, shante you stay.

Orion, sashay away.

- Woo, girl. - Lord have mercy.

- We come back into the Werk Room,

and the vibe's pretty heavy.

Orion was a giant sweetheart.

And like, you watched her heart break on that stage.

And that could have been any of us.

- The whole world's about to know we did that.

Love you. - Aw, we love you, Orion.

- How are you feeling, June?

- You killed it.

- The moment you hear you're in the bottom,

I'm like, this is not how the story end.

I am not the first girl that goes home.

I was like, uh-uh, baby.

This Jambalaya still got some brewing to do.

- Yeah yeah yeah. - She's still cookin' bitch!

- Ooh, lord, the Zatarain's and Uncle Ben's gods

were on side, honey.

She has survived.

So I got something to prove.

All my life I had to fight,

and I'll be damned if I stop now.

- This is the first time June ever cleaned.

She's got a maid at her house.

That's the gag, I know the bitch.

She got a maid.

Put some back into it.

- Put that juice in it!

Shake them black shorts.

Hopefully you hoes understand now.

Baby, Kornbread came here to compete.

- Congratulations, bitch. - Congratulations, honey.

- It definitely felt great.

So at this point it's just like, bitch,

now they really looking at the whole, like,

did we give that $5000 to the right hoe?

Bitch, you did, bitch!

- So how are you feeling about meeting the other group?

Girl.

- I don't really need to meet anybody else.

There's like a lot of strength in this cast.

- Yeah.

- I'm hoping they're all ugly.

- I hope they don't touch none of my stuff,

'cause you know, it's gonna go from RuPaul

to Bad Girls Club real fast.

- They touch anything of yours, June,

we know it won't be tights.

I gotta get up out of this.

- We survived week one,

but that's not gonna last for long,

'cause we got some next bitches coming up

to come take our spot.

And if they're just as strong as we are,

things are bound to blow the fuck up.

- Hello-tis!

It is gorgeous like Jorgeous.

Ow!

It is me, the one, the only gorgeous Jorgeous.

And I am the little spicy, little Latina goddess.

Make sure you get this mug, mama.

I would describe my drag style

as a very Tex Mex Latina Showgirl realness.

My drag is inspired by Latina women.

J Lo, Selena.

It's hella chooky, hella bad bitch.

I might be small, but I do pack a big punch.

Shit, there looks like there's already been queens here.

Okay we got another Latina in here.

I started doing drag when I was 16 years old.

I became known as a danging queen in Texas.

A young dancing queen in Texas.

It's gonna be a lit ass season.

Let's get litty titty.

And now, I'm on RuPaul's Drag Race.

Let's get this party started.

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 14!

Oh my god!

- Alright Season 14,

let's get thickening!

What's up, bitches?

My name is DeJa Skye,

and I'm here to let you know,

embrace the curve, people.

She's campy!

- My drag is bold, it's colorful.

I love pastel.

They call me Pastel Princess.

I'm a choreographer for cheer and dance.

I love to move my body.

I'm big, but I can break it down.

Oh my god, bitch, we are here!

- Good morning, sister!

- Oh my god. - So nice to meet you.

- What is your name? - Jorgeous.

- DeJa Skye. - DeJa Skye.

- Oh! - Yes!

- Bitch, you look good, bitch.

Where are you from?

- Fresno. - Fresno, California?

- Unfortunately.

It's the armpit.

- Oh my god.

Are you a Latina?

- A lot of people think I'm Latina,

but I'm actually Black and white.

- Oh okay, yes ma'am. - Yeah, but honestly,

the Latin community has taken me under their wing.

- Yes ma'am. - It's a Bingo wing.

- But it's a wing. - Yes!

- Oh this here is just the entry look.

I'm Jasmine Kennedie,

and I'm the ditzy doll of New York City.

Queens would definitely say my drag

is polished and pageantry as it could be.

Bitch, she is stoned!

- My most impressive drag talent

is my dancing capability.

You ain't gotta worry about a dance challenge for me, mama.

Five, six, seven, eight, choreo, here we go!

- Sisters! - Oh my god!

Nice to meet you.

What's your name, baby? - DeJa, what are you?

- DeJa, Jasmine Kennedie.

- Hi Jas! - Jorgeous! I know you, bitch.

- Bitch, I know you too. - I know you, ah!

I am already starstruck,

'cause I've followed Jorgeous

for a very long time.

- Bitch, you better dance the house down.

- Are you a dancer? - I am a dancer.

- Are you a dancer? - Oh yes ma'am.

She's a dancing diva, too,

so that could be my biggest competition here.

Not gonna lie.

Season 14. - Season 14, we're here.

And it looks like, by the looks of it,

some of the girls have already been here.

- I know. - Okay we got some cute hair

over there.

We got some chain saws.

- Chain saws? - We've got leather.

- The way I'm planning on sticking out of the pack,

one, if it's not for my dance skills and my costumes,

it's definitely gonna be with my personality.

And I'm, ugh, so anxious! I cannot wait.

- You ready to pitch a tent, America?

The camp queen is here.

- Oh she's on fire.

- My name is Maddy Morphosis,

and I am Arkansas' most beautiful

camp and comedy queen.

People will say my drag is stupid

in a good way.

Funny, clever, witty.

- She's flame broiled.

She's a burger queen.

- I am on fire

in this beautiful Guy Fieri

inspired dress.

To my knowledge, I'm the first cisgendered heterosexual man

to make it to Drag Race.

Hi queens!

- What is your name?

- I'm Maddy Morphosis.

Maddy Morphosis.

- Where are you from, babes?

- I'm from Fayetteville, Arkansas.

- I have some trade in Arkansas.

- You nasty bitch. - Oh!

My condolences.

I'm sure a lot of these queens

have probably even never even met a drag queen

that was straight.

But, I don't feel the need to clarify, like, my sexuality.

I really want the first impression that the girls have of me

to be the content of my drag.

- How long does it take you to get ready?

- I just woke up like this. - Oh yes ma'am.

- Just a little chap stick, mascara.

Yes, ma'am.

My first impression of Maddy is very...

I wanna see what else you got.

- The name's Angeria,

but you can call me Angie.

Now let's make it shake, honey!

My name is Angeria Paris VanMichaels,

and I'm the Southern Belle from ATL.

Angeria is probably the most glamorous

country bumpkin that you will ever meet in your life.

I am loud, I am country,

but I'm also very polished.

Yeah, I just look like a star everywhere I go.

Mm-hmm.

Hey ladies!

- You a padge girl? - Yes, I am a pageant girl.

- Let's go padge.

We're here to gag. - You can tell?

- Yes I can tell. - Oh how can you tell?

Old school pageant drag.

Old school music, that's what I do.

I'll ballad you to death.

Oh yeah.

I know how to really pull you in,

and you know, captivate a audience.

I love that.

- I'm actually getting some really really good vibes,

some good energy from the girls.

But I know they are looking at me like,

this bitch did not come here to play.

And they are absolutely right, 'cause I did not.

- Oh!

- Hello, you sexy bitches!

- Oh my god!

- I am Lady Camden,

and I am America's little Spice Girl.

Girl power.

I'm originally from Camdentown in North London.

And now I live in Sacramento.

Is that bra edible?

- When I'm in drag,

I sort of live in my 90s pop princess fantasy.

There's always something that's a little tacky,

but just tacky enough.

- Oh my god! - Oh my god!

I know DeJa from back home.

We've performed together.

What the fuck are you doing here?

- I'm saying!

- I am so surprised to see her here.

I mean, we just haven't had a lot of

North California representation.

Work.

- What's your type of drag?

- I'm sort of like the sixth member of the Spice Girls.

Old Spice.

Old Spice?

- I'm Country Spice, it's nice to meet you.

- Country Spice, I love that.

Where are you from?

- Oh, I'm from Sparta, Georgia,

but I live in Atlanta.

- I love that accent,

it's just really getting my nipples hard.

- We can like, find us a room,

and just talk to each other all day.

- Okay.

You Betty be ready!

Woo!

I'm Daya Betty, and I am your mid-Missouri

grunge punk rock girl.

- It's kinda giving me Pikachu a little bit.

Oh my god.

- My drag is really inspired

by the 80s grunge movement, early 90s.

Daya's a rock star,

and she's the rock star's girlfriend,

shoved together with a safety pin shoved through it.

- What is your name? - I'm Daya Betty.

- Daya Betty, you're beautiful!

- Oh my gosh, Maddy?

- Daya. - Oh my gosh, how are you?

- Good!

- Maddy Morphosis, my Midwest sister.

I've kind of hung out with her just a couple times.

I've seen her at the club.

There is a lot that she has to show us.

A lot.

Are you Jorgeous? - Yes ma'am!

- Oh my god, my boyfriend is obsessed with you.

- Oh my god, I'm a mess.

I promise. - I'm pretty sure

that you're his favorite drag queen.

So nice to meet you, mama.

- Daya Betty is giving me somebody else.

But I cannot figure out for the life of me

who she is giving.

- I have a feeling you're related

to someone who's been on here before, right?

- I am, yes.

Crystal Methyd. ♪ Feel the beat of the rhythm ♪

♪ Of the night ♪ - Ding, there it is.

Crystal Methyd.

- We don't say "Drag Mom" because it ages her.

But we're all kind of a little edgy, a little punk.

Everything we do crafty, a little handmade.

Ooh, girl!

She done already done had herses.

- Oh my god it's happening!

- Hold on, I'm coming!

- Oh my gosh! - Oh my god!

Welcome, queens.

The Werk Room has already been entered.

But it's not about when you start,

it's about how long you last.

So put some motion in your ocean,

and let's get it on!

Hello hello hello!

Hi!

- RuPaul walks into the door,

and I swear to god, she is just glowing.

My mom always said it's not polite to stare,

but I can't help it.

- Welcome to the second premiere

of RuPaul's Drag Race, officially.

- Yes, mother!

- First, I want to thank your mamas,

your drag mamas, the bullies at school,

and everybody who helped make you

the strong queen you are today.

'Cause you gonna need all that strength and more

as you compete in the biggest,

baddest drag competition on the planet.

- Yes!

- Now last week, we got to know seven of your competitors.

And I asked one of them to sashay away.

- She tells us that a queen has already gone.

There's a bit of a twist.

- And by the end of tomorrow,

I'll be asking one of you to sashay away as well.

- The reality is someone's already gone.

This shit is serious.

Like, we're getting right into the competition.

I'm just like, please let me get out of this alive.

- So I hope y'all hungry to win.

'Cause your country breakfast is ready, girl.

Let's go.

Deja Skye, hello darling.

- Hi!

- Say hello to celebrity photographer, Albert Sanchez.

- Hi.

- Now, the goal of this competition

is to make it all the way through

to the Tic Tac lunch.

- Yes.

- So for your very first mini challenge,

I want you to pose with this bowl of Tic Tacs.

Can you do that?

- I absolutely can.

Good, make a purdy picture.

- Ooh, Tic Tac.

Ooh, oh.

Wait a minute.

I don't know what it is, but DeJa,

something's off with the whole...

- I'm freaked out 'cause I'm like, what did I do?

Is it a bad angle?

What's going on?

- This is really not what I asked for, Albert.

I thought we talked about an abundance of Tic Tacs.

I mean, we had that conversation.

You call this an abundance of Tic Tacs?

I want an abundance of Tic Tacs!

Why do I have to do everything around here?

Why I

Why?!

- Oh my god, it's everywhere.

- I need you to move that bitch

of a bearing wall,

and put a giant bowl of Tic Tacs

where a giant bowl of Tic Tacs ought to be.

Move it!

- She moves the wall, oh,

and all I see is this bowl of a thousand,

million bazillion Tic Tacs.

And right next to it, The Pit Crew.

Oh!

- Now that's an abundance of Tic Tacs.

DeJa.

Let's go.

Alright now DeJa Skye,

you need to serve face and pose the house down.

Ooh, yes! - Oh.

- I like the way you think.

Ooh, I'm getting quite the DeJa view.

- Let me go this way.

- Oh, yeah.

Luxuriate, yes.

- I'm just rolling like rotisserie chicken.

There's no way to feel sexy in this moment.

- Just keep in mind the shadow.

You want to work the light.

- Got it.

Was that good?

What's your sleep number, DeJa?

Angeria.

- Okay, am I getting in?

Yes!

- I'm getting in, but no heels.

Oh, there I go.

Oh, what are people at church gonna say?

Yes, Miss Black Atlanta!

- Ooh, wait a minute.

It's Tic Tacs in my hair,

Tic Tacs in my titties,

Tic Tacs in my mm-hmm-hmm.

- Welcome to Angeria.

The land of orange diamonds.

This ain't Wakanda, this is Angeria!

Looking good and feeling Jorgeous.

- Yes, ma'am, mama!

- Now since this is a Tic Tac breakfast,

I'm gonna ask you some questions.

You respond with your face and body language only.

- Okay.

- What's your favorite Britney Spears song?

"Oops!...I Did It Again."

How does the Pit Crew make you feel

in between me down there?

- Oh.

- Gracias!

Oh Jasmine Kennedie.

Ooh, fling that hair, yes!

Look at those cheek bones.

You could cut somebody with those things.

Answer with your pose, okay?

Who's your favorite movie star?

Charlize Theron?

Milton Berle?

You must have gone to the Barbazon School of Modeling.

Maddy Morphosis.

Yes!

Tic Tacs are a girl's best friend.

These Tic Tacs have always brought me luck.

Nice.

- I think I found something.

- You, what is it you've-

That is Santino's hat!

He has been texting me for years about that hat!

It's been in the bowl of Tic Tacs the whole time!

- What?

- Ooh yes.

Model.

Daya Betty.

Ooh.

Show me shy pussy.

Shyer.

Oh.

Now show me not so shy pussy.

- At this point,

I just know I look like a newborn horse.

I don't know what I'm serving, to be honest.

Ooh!

That's some bridge and tunnel pussy.

Oh my goodness, Lady Camden.

Do you know where those Tic Tacs have been?

- I've got a sweet tooth, darling.

It's Tic Tac ecstasy!

- Oh yeah, Tic Tac paddy whack,

give a bitch a bone!

Oh yes!

Alright darling, I think we got it.

- Thanks, guys.

- Whoa, the mother load!

My queens.

In the Tic Tac photo shoot,

one of you left my mouth feeling minty fresh.

Ooh!

- Which is kind of odd,

because the Tic Tacs are orange flavored.

The winner of today's mini challenge is

Angeria!

- Oh my god!

It was very important to me

to make a really good first impression on Ru.

So, pats on the back for Angie.

You've won $2500 courtesy of JJ Malibu.

- Yes, girl!

- Now, my fair lady-kins.

For your very first maxi challenge,

I'm putting you in the Charisma,

Nerve, and Talent Show.

Where the only thing that's missing is U.

This is your chance to show the world

you are the queen to beat.

Alright!

- Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win.

- Baby, I am so excited.

We get the chance to show why we were cast,

and bitch!

I'm ready to kick, split,

and let these judges eat it!

- Let me move in, so I can get out of this shit.

- It is time to de-drag,

and honey, I want to see what mens

live up under this drag.

I wanna see who's the trade of the season.

- Oh, you're the trade of the season, Miss Thing.

- I found two more Tic Tacs.

- Tic Tacs everywhere.

- Tic Tacs still falling out, oh yeah.

Oh!

- I look over at Angeria,

and I'm like, girl,

she's way like cuter and quirkier

than I pictured her.

- Oh my gosh.

- I was not expecting DeJa to look like that out of drag.

Honestly, she looks like one of my tios.

- Uncle Fester's here, everybody.

Hi Uncle Fester!

- Hello. - Look at you!

Who is this?

How you doing?

- I'm just passing through, don't worry.

Don't pay me no nevermind.

- Maddy is looking like a farmer.

Looks like she owns cattle and bulls and goats and things.

Y'all look so different.

You never know how much makeup you have on

until you get out of it.

- Where's Jasmine? - What?

- Look at my titties. - I wanna see your titties!

- Oh my god!

- Are yours C or B?

- I've just never touched real boobies before.

- Are you a gold star, Camden?

- Yeah.

- Who's a gold star?

Are you a gold star gay?

- I don't know, I might be.

I'm not sure what it is. - Do you know what it is?

A gold star is somebody

that hasn't had sex with the opposite sex.

- Never slept with a woman.

- Oh, I can't be a gold star.

I wasn't always this gay. - We're not gold stars.

- Okay, Maddy's not a gold star, either.

I'm not a gold-

- Yeah.

I know that Maddy identifies as a straight male.

I don't think this is anything that's happened

on Drag Race history before,

and when she does bring it up,

these girls are gonna be shook.

Hey queens!

I see you've all moved in.

Yes!

- Now I've come to collect the rent.

Oh shit!

- Angeria Paris VanMichaels.

That's a bougie name, girl. - Is it?

- You know it is.

- It ain't bougie at all.

Where does that name come from?

- It came from a girl I went to college with.

She was real pretty. - Uh huh.

- And I was like, I want your name.

But her name was Angera.

- Angera. - Yeah.

- And you changed it to Angeria.

- 'Cause in the South,

when you want the name to sound more special,

you add a I in front of the A.

- So, now what's your talent?

- I am doing original track.

- Original track? - Yes.

- Will my ears bleed?

- No, I don't think so.

- Do you know how to sing? - Yes.

- Because you grew up in the church.

- I grew up in the church, and I sung in the choir.

- Being from the Midwest,

we do have a lot of pageant girls,

and so those are the girls that intimidate me.

The girls that are really put together.

- So I'm gonna let you go,

but I could talk to you all day.

- And Ru just laughs at everything Angeria says.

So keeping an eye on her.

- Alright Daya Betty, come on over.

- Hi Ru. - Hi, honey.

I wanted to ask you how'd you get that name?

- 'Cause I'm diabetic.

Type one, not type two.

- How does that affect you in your daily life?

- So, if I do any, like, crazy activities,

like I'll be doing here,

I'll just have to check my blood sugar more.

- And if it's too low, will you pass out?

- I will do a unwanted death drop.

- Well, we'll be on the lookout.

- Yes. - So, what's your talent?

- I'm gonna be doing a lip sync,

with a little- - Wait a minute.

A lip sync? - I know, revolutionary.

- On a drag show?

- I know, crazy, right? - It's crazy.

Is it to your own song?

- No, it's to Pink's "Get The Party Started."

- Okay, well what do you think you lip syncing Pink

will let us know about you?

- That song in particular,

it's just about having fun, and you know, doing you.

- Yeah, but what does it say about Daya Betty?

- It says that she's a little edgy, you know,

but she also knows she knows she can turn the party.

- Yeah, no, I'm just saying that the judges will ask that.

This is the first time we get to know you.

How does that inform us who you are?

But you know, we'll see.

- Ru doesn't really seem too impressed

that my talent's lip syncing.

- Alright.

- So it's gotta be the best lip sync Ru's ever seen,

or I'm gonna be in trouble.

Alright, Lady Camden.

- Hello.

- Now, I can tell you're a dancer.

How old were you when you started dancing?

- I was always dancing in my bedroom to the Spice Girls

as a little gay boy. - Yes.

- But I started doing ballet classes and stuff at like 12.

- So what's your talent?

Is it going to be dance?

- It is going to be dance.

- Uh huh. - I'm gonna bring a mix

of classical ballet with some more of the dancing

that I've evolved into now.

- Huh, you know what?

I've gone to the ballet maybe once or twice.

And remember I didn't enjoy it.

Because it was just boring.

You know, to me.

- Oh god.

I don't want Ru to fall asleep during my number.

Have I picked the wrong thing to do for him?

- Listen, we're looking for elevated.

Give it the old Lady Camden twist.

- Okay, I will.

- Alright, thank you darling. - Thank you, Ru.

- Alright DeJa Skye, come on over.

- Hi Ru. - Hi DeJa.

I am so happy you're here.

You know, because your audition reel was one

that I really, really enjoyed.

- Really? - Because you know,

you're an old, you're an old...

- She called me old.

- No, now, no, you didn't let me finish the sentence.

You're an old school queen that I really enjoy.

So now what's your talent?

- So I'm gonna teach you how to be a cheerleader

in three easy steps.

- Okay, what does a cheerleading routine tell us about you?

- It's kinda my sense of humor.

And it also is very much my background.

Besides a drag queen,

I'm actually a choreographer for cheer and dance.

- Wow, I'm actually looking forward to that.

- I think DeJa is gonna be my competition

because I'm also a cheerleader,

and I want to see how she makes it a comedic relief.

- Thank you.

- Where I'm incorporating back handsprings, round kicks.

Like who doesn't love to see a girl

do a back handspring into a split?

- Maddy Morphosis.

- Hi Ru.

- Now, I don't hear a southern accent.

- No, I'm from Arkansas,

but I try to not be as Arkansas as humanly possible.

- What is your talent?

- I'm gonna play guitar.

- Live music?

- Yes. - Very risky!

You know, here, it's gotta be something special.

You know, if you do a straight,

I'm doing something that is just everyday normal thing,

it's gotta have kind of a twisted edge where we go,

oh my goodness.

Just make it special.

Now, you have made history

being our first straight contestant.

- Wait, what?

- Right.

- Whoa, Maddy is straight?

- Now, are you afraid that when you leave here,

you won't be straight?

No.

- What?

- A straight drag queen.

Wow, that's, that's something new.

- So, how did you get into drag?

- I grew up watching "To Wong Foo" with my grandma,

and that kind of put the bug in my head,

and I developed an interest in fashion and makeup and stuff,

but that's not something you can express

when you grow up in population 1200 Lincoln.

- Right. - And so like,

when I got out of high school,

I moved to a slightly bigger city

where it just happened to have drag shows.

And I just did it. - And you had the cheekbones.

- And I had the cheekbones.

- I'm so impressed with you.

- Thank you. - Because you are someone

who says you know what?

That interests me, I'm gonna get into it.

And you're gonna go very far in this life.

- Thank you. - Let's hope you go

very far in this competition.

- To have Ru tell me that

makes me feel a lot more validated.

It just feels almost like,

a weight off my shoulders.

I think this is like a community of people

that is built around love and acceptance.

- Alright thank you. - Thank you, Ru.

But I just have this little nervous thing of, you know,

what if there's one person that's not down with it,

that's not okay with it.

There have been a couple negative opinions here and there,

and I'm really worried that a negative opinion

might be in this room.

- Alright, gather 'round, queens.

Now tomorrow, joining us will be our extra special

guest judge,

the amazing Alicia Keys.

Alicia Keys!

I love Alicia Keys.

- Oh, and last but not least, a friendly reminder,

that by the end of tomorrow,

I'll be asking one of you to sashay away.

So whatever you do, don't fuck it up.

- Oh my god, we did it.

- Today is the day we're performing our talent

in front of the judges,

and I'm trying so hard to just stay focused,

but it's hard not to get really nervous

because RuPaul's gonna be there looking at me

with her eyeballs.

Like, what?

- How long does it usually take everyone

to do their makeup?

- I can do it in like 45 if I really need to.

- I'm normally like a three hour-

- Three hours?

- But I can do it for like, an hour and a half or so.

- Because I've been doing this for so many years,

I've seen plenty of queens.

I'm just gagged that Maddy is straight.

I don't know any straight drag queens.

It's crazy to me that you identify as straight.

- Oh god, here we go.

I do, yes.

I mean, honestly like,

it's not something that I lead with,

because it's something I don't want

other people to like, base their opinion

around my sexuality first.

Might be a fun fact,

but I don't want it to be what everyone

thinks of. - Defines you.

- I've never met a straight drag queen before!

To be a fully fledged drag queen and be straight is like,

crazy to me.

It kinda makes me have mad respect for her.

Maddy respect for her.

Because you've gotta be really comfortable

with your heterosexuality

to be able to tuck all that shit back,

put on a wig,

and gack gitty gack.

Like, that's like, good for you, babes, you know?

- I have never met another straight drag queen before.

And I think a big part of it is just 'cause like,

guys are like, so worried about

expressing femininity,

or being seen- - It's toxic masculinity.

- Yeah, or even like,

being scared of people thinking that they're gay.

Growing up in Arkansas, whenever I was younger,

I thought it was illegal to be gay.

I didn't even know.

I didn't know a single gay person.

- Yeah. - But then seeing people

moving to a bigger city,

and seeing people just living their authentic lives

and just like not worrying about what people think of them.

And it just made me realize that I can live my own life

like that too, and just, you know,

we only have one life to live. - One life to live.

You better live it authentically.

- I think it's sickening that Maddy is a heterosexual man

from a small town in the South,

and wants to be a sickening drag queen all at the same time.

I mean, hey, nobody ever said it couldn't be done.

- How's everyone feeling

knowing we're gonna get to walk down the runway

for the first time? - I know!

Hopefully nobody trips.

Hey queens.

- What? - Huh?

- Guys, it's Alicia!

- Oh my god! - Hi!

- Is that... no.

No.

- Woo!

When you talk about dreams coming true, child,

like, it is literally a dream for me

to meet Alicia Keys.

- Hi! - Hi!

- I just wanted you to know

that I'm so excited,

and I'm so proud of you.

And I can't believe we're together!

And we're gonna show them what it is!

Yes!

- The reason why you inspire me

is because I feel like we should not hold back.

We should be able to be as bold

and as brave and as big

and as powerful as we want to be.

So don't let anybody hold you back.

This is your time,

this is your moment,

and you are going to show everyone

just how special and amazing you are.

So go smash the whole situation!

Love you!

- After talking to Alicia Keys,

I feel good, but I am nervous,

because I know that someone is going home,

and baby, there's only seven of us.

So I just want to make sure that my talent

stands out enough to keep me in the number.

'Cause baby, listen,

I didn't come here to be the first girl out.

Next up, it's DeJa Skye.

Well howdy!

I'm cheer captain, DeJa,

and I'm here to show you

how anyone can be a cheerleader

in three easy steps.

Step number one what we're gonna do is hands on hips,

and smiles on those lips.

I want you to smile as big as when

they restock the buffet.

Step number two is a jump.

Now, if you're like me,

gravity is not my friend.

Just get off the ground as much as you can.

Let's go.

- Woo! - Okay, thank you.

- Eh?

I don't know, girl.

She's doing something.

- Now the third and final step

is a geriatric cartwheel.

If you have bad knees, stay close to the ground, okay?

Hands up and hopefully you get around.

- Hey!

- You ready to put it all together?

- Yeah! - Hit it!

- Thank you. - I think for a talent show,

they just wanted like a yay, you know?

Thank you so much.

- And it's sort of a bit like,

- Here's a helping of the Blues

with Maddy Morphosis.

- Maddy obviously knows what she's doing with this guitar,

however, hmm...

A little boring, a little bit.

- And now, Angeria Paris VanMichaels.

Ugh!

you just shouldn't have done that.

- But is Angie succeeding right now?

Check!

♪ The world is your runway ♪

- Category is sickening signature drag.

Up first, Jorgeous.

Purple train, purple train.

Take that, Sheila E.

I'm wearing this gorgeous gown,

with my hair slicked back.

And bam. - Hey, hey!

- I'm a showgirl, bitch.

So I always have to be ready to do a number.

Clearly, she's stoned.

Yes!

Come on, cat suit

DeJa Skye.

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

This look represents me to the fullest

because I am showing every swerve and curve

of this big billowy body.

I look at Alicia and she just goes-

- Yes!

It's curtains for her.

They call her Sleevey Wonder.

Jasmine Kennedie.

Listen hon, you're gonna put somebody's eyes out

with those things.

I decided to go with something gold,

and I have my titties out.

I have a little applique to show them

that I do what, drag.

Gorge Washington.

I'll do it better.

Gorge W. Bush.

Maddy Morphosis.

What! - Oh my god!

I really like

the neckline on this.

Yeah, it's really good.

I am giving a signature

Maddy Morphosis look, from neck to toe,

in this beautiful Marie Antoinette number.

I'm like tossing my head around like a prop.

What!

- It's campy, it's stupid,

but it's also beautiful.

Ladies and gentlemen, Guillotina Turner.

Chin up, sweetie!

I'm coming down

with a case of Angeria Paris VanMichaels.

Come on, Sparta, Georgia.

- This is my first time,

and I'm feeling fine like wine.

My dress is wine.

When you think of Angeria,

I want you to think of pure pageant glamor

from my head to my toes, bitch.

- Yes!

Burgundy-licious.

Time to get the party Sparted.

Okay that was a stretch.

- That was rotten.

Lady Camden.

Oh my god,

she just peacock blocked me.

My look is inspired

by Camdentown raver girls back in the 90s.

I love to be bold with my drag,

and always something that is a little bit of a surprise.

- Hey pa!

- I'm here to let you know

I'm about to take flight,

even though I don't know if peacocks actually fly.

They do fly!

So I'm here to fly, okay great.

What's her mating call?

I don't know.

Daya Betty.

- Yes.

I'm sorry.

Daya Betty can't come to the phone right now,

she's all tied up.

I'm hobbling down the runway in my hobble dress.

The fact that the entire outfit

is held to my body by ribbons

is so dainty and scary at the same time.

I feel like I am serving it.

It's ribbon, for your pleasure.

Oh, thank you for considering.

There's a ribbon in the sky for her drag.

Welcome, queens.

It's time for the judges' critiques.

Up first, Jorgeous.

- I just have to say, just Jorgeous!

- Oh thank you.

- I love the stones on the mesh.

I love all those different amethyst tones.

The makeup is like air brushed.

- What I loved about you is your energy.

I do think the song choice,

it was a lot of standing and just doing this

before we got into it.

For you, I think your plan of attack

should always be right out the gate.

- As a performer, I felt confidence from you

that just did not quit.

I just love and I live.

- Is that a number you perform in your nightclub act?

- Oh yes, I legit,

ever since that song came out,

legit, ever since I was 16,

I've been performing it ever since.

- Every time you mention how young you are,

I'm gonna take marks off.

- Oh my god, no!

No, please! - Legit.

- Up next, DeJa Skye.

- This number on the runway,

I love the color.

Cerulean.

Oh my gosh, I didn't even realize.

I'm wearing it too!

Job well done on the runway look.

- Thank you.

- Your routine was brave,

because you wanted to do something different.

We saw a lot of lip syncing tonight,

and you stood out.

I'm not sure if it was for all the right reasons.

Because it really wasn't funny.

- We're doing a drag show.

You know, just don't give it to me straight.

Give it to me a little bit from the side,

a little bit from behind.

Well, a whole lot from behind.

A lot.

- And then hit me over the head with it.

Up next, Jasmine Kennedie.

- The dance number, you were doing like,

ice skating maneuvers.

Like a triple sow cow, or a half Charles Nelson Reilly.

You were in the air, spinning around and like,

this bitch doesn't even have skates on.

How did you make that happen?

That was beautiful.

- You're a pageant girl. - Yes.

- I have two words for you, the queen.

You're giving us 60s drag.

And I love it.

- This look is like body-ody-ody!

I was like, my god, what is happening?

- Sorry, I'm just focused on your two tig old bitties.

You look like Edie Williams

from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls,

and Alyssa Edwards had a baby.

- Yeah. - And here she is.

I love it.

- Thank you so much.

- Up next, Maddy Morphosis.

- Hi.

- This is something I've never seen

on the main stage before.

It's so stupid.

Even though it's a costume,

it's full on crazy drag.

Like, I love this.

I can see that you need some help with your makeup.

Just little tweaks here and there

is gonna help you go a long way.

- But this is really fun.

You should really hold your head high.

Or right there at your waist.

- I was so happy to hear you play the Blues.

I was like, ooh, got some taste and some vibe and some zone.

- Did you play the electric guitar with your tongue?

- I did, yeah.

- That was like a bonus talent.

But I wasn't really sure what was happening.

So I would say work the camera, work your audience.

Invite us in.

- You gotta have more of an angle in a drag show.

Had you played the guitar with your penis,

then we'd be talking a different story.

- No, no! - Oh, I'm hearing in,

oh, we've been canceled.

Okay, is my Uber here?

Next up, Angeria.

- This runway look,

you're giving us Atlanta G-A-Y pageant perfection.

- I love this dress.

It is so Miss Dominique Devereux.

- Yes. - Thank you.

- Call me Angie?

Call me an ambulance.

I almost slipped a disc just watching it.

At the end when you did that perfect death drop.

- I was like, oh my god, I love this!

It was so good.

Sometimes very tricky to do original songs,

but that was a good one right there.

You did that.

- I don't mean to get emotional or nothing,

but the female vocalist that's always lived inside of me

has always been inspired by you.

Always, always. - Oh my god, I love it.

- So this just feels amazing.

- Up next, Lady Camden.

- You came out and you said, "I'm a ballerina,

but I'm gonna toss my ballet shoes away.

I'm gonna do ballet the drag way."

That was fabulous.

- This look tonight is adorable.

I love the tail.

- I definitely can see all of your personality.

Nothing else looks like how you look.

It is like a favorite Pokemon character.

So I think that we're in for like a really good time

when we're hanging with you.

- Thank you so much, Alicia. - Absolutely, well done.

- Up next, Daya Betty.

- This look has a very, like,

English punk kind of vibe.

We did notice that the back, it's poppin',

but it's for the wrong reasons.

It's ripped.

- I'm taking a guess here

that you are in the Crystal Methyd family.

- Oh yes, I am. - Because I can see it

in your face. - Woo!

- You were another lip sync.

It was pretty kind of lackluster.

We lip sync for your life here every week.

You'll have to do something

that's gonna make us gag.

- You did a good job,

but I didn't get enough of your personality from it.

I still don't quite know who you are.

And that's really the purpose of the talent show.

Thank you, ladies.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck in the Werk Room,

the judges and I will deliberate.

Alright now just between us squirrel friends,

what do you think?

Let's start with Jorgeous.

- I think this one is gonna sway us with her personality.

She feels every bit of herself in drag.

Everything she does has a flourish.

Everything has a, uh huh, I am fab.

- Maybe her lip singing could have

been a little bit tighter,

but I think she's a fearless performer.

I really like her.

DeJa Skye.

- I was very excited when I saw her walk out,

and you know, giving us a cheer routine.

I love "Bring It On."

But brr, it's cold in here.

There are no jokes in this atmosphere.

- Tonight's performance did not land.

Jasmine Kennedie.

- Jasmine is phenomenal.

And I get a sense of hunger from her.

- Jasmine Kennedie is a fire cracker.

Man, that performance.

She was bouncing off the walls.

- And tonight on the runway,

she's 22 years old.

This is a child.

To have a reference like that,

she's done her homework.

Maddy Morphosis and her guitar.

- I appreciate the live guitar playing.

That was pretty amazing to see.

But the fact that Maddy was playing the guitar at the end

with her tongue,

and then didn't go to the side to show us,

it didn't really happen then, did it?

- And when you have an outfit that looks like, you know,

Saint John's for H and R Block.

But I don't want to chop her head off.

She already did.

I loved Maddy's runway.

I'm always one to say it's costumey, but it worked!

Angeria.

- Angeria is one of my favorites, for sure.

There's a spirit there that I really can connect to.

There's the polish that feels very exciting.

- Call me Angie, check.

Stunning, check, check, check.

Whatever it was, we were here for it.

Lady Camden.

- Well Lady Camden did what I think

we wanted Maddy Morphosis to do.

Take this skillset, and then make it drag.

- Lady Camden probably had the most

technically difficult performance of the night.

Not only was she doing ballet,

she was doing it in stilettos,

and that is one of the most difficult things.

- And I loved the runway.

I thought she looked like, you know,

nobody else, totally individual.

- I like Lady Camden.

I'm excited to see more from her.

Daya Betty.

- She looked really cool,

and her energy was good.

But I thought it was really basic.

- What I was getting was Crystal Methyd.

So it felt like a Xerox copy of a Xerox copy.

- But there's all this room for her to grow,

so she could be that underdog that comes out

and just shows everybody.

So we'll see where it goes.

Silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Lady Camden.

Jorgeous.

You're safe.

- Thank you so much.

- Angeria.

Polish, check.

Glam, check.

Talent, check.

Con-drag-ulations.

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

You've won a cashier's check

of $5000.

- Oh!

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

- Jasmine Kennedie.

You're safe.

- Thank you.

- Maddy Morphosis.

We were head over heels for your runway look,

while your guitar made us gently weep.

DeJa Skye.

We were cheering for you,

but your jokes just didn't land.

Daya Betty,

you're a lovely queen,

but you didn't get this party started.

Maddy Morphosis,

you're safe.

You may join the other girls.

- Thank you.

- DeJa, Daya.

I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

- My confidence right now is just shaken.

But when it comes down to it,

I'm gonna fight tooth and nail to stay here.

Bring it on.

- Two queens stand before me.

Prior to tonight,

you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance

of "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys.

Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me,

and save yourself from elimination.

The time has come

for you to lip sync

for your life!

- I just walked in the doors,

and now I'm gonna have to lip sync

to an Alicia Keys song,

in front of Alicia Keys.

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

- Thank you so much.

- You may join the other girls.

Daya Betty.

It might not feel like it right now,

but this is just the beginning

of the rest of your life.

Now, sashay away.

- I might not have gotten as far as I'd liked,

but I had a great time,

and made some amazing sisters.

And I really appreciate each and every one of you.

So thank you, thank you.

Woo!

Well, shit.

I'm definitely disappointed in myself.

I know I have so much fucking more to offer,
