You have 30 minutes to create a beautiful look.

30 minutes.

- Get going! - [Screaming]

There's a photo shoot coming up.

It's not going to be easy for us, what will it be?

There's a storm coming.

[Queens screaming]

[Alek] Stay pretty!

The best picture is...

[Cheering]

I told you so.

Category is: Glamping Couture.

This week the queens were told...

to create their own look with very little time...

and make it, with a matching bag.

The Countess, you're this week's winner, congratulations!

I'm not good enough, that hurts.

When you walk off, look in the mirror, and see how beautiful you are.

Ivy, shantay you stay.

Sweet Reggy B, sashay away, or, "Bye bye, darling."

That was a good gig, can I send you the invoice, Fred?

[Laughter]

AFTER REGGY B'S DEPARTURE

[All sighing]

This is the beginning of the rest of our lives.

Reggy B, always in your area...!

- [Cheering] - Reggy!

- Aw. - Aw, Reggy, girl.

How do you feel, Ivy?

A bit beat, but also very happy.

Beat because Reggy's gone home.

I feel very guilty because I sent her packing.

Better for me though.

But at Reggy's expense.

Turn your window into Number 5, Bloedstraat.

[Scattered laughter]

Expensive lipstick.

What I'll miss about Reggy, she was fun

and made me look even prettier.

Love Masisi, Fred said you have to look in the mirror.

- That's true. - Do it, love. Look how beautiful you are.

- How beautiful you are. - How special you are.

You keep looking, we'll go drinking.

[Laughter]

I've learned that it's OK.

Be who you are.

Shine. Love yourself.

Girls, what a night.

We've survived a sewing challenge.

Yes, yes, yes!

- Congratulations - Yes, woo!

Well deserved, she is outrageously beautiful.

But with the charisma of an old slipper, so it doesn't matter.

Girls, how did it feel to be safe this week?

Instead of the top or the bottom.

Girl, I'm wearing a castle in the sky, so I'm so happy to be safe.

- I'm sweating like a horse. - I can smell it.

- You're a wet bitch. - Wet girl.

Let's get out of drag.

[Theme song playing] ♪ RuPaul's Drag Race

♪ [Racers] Start your engines...

The winner of Drag Race Holland will receive a beautiful crown

and scepter from Fierce! Drag Jewels.

Her own stage at Milkshake festival

and a 15.000 reward.

On this episode's jury are Carlo Boszard and Buddy Vedder.

♪ ... may the best drag queen win. ♪

[Screaming and laughing]

A fresh day at the werk room.

Everybody wants to win, and you can tell.

Everybody's totally on.

A new week, a new beginning.

We have the bitch with the badge.

The bitch with the badge, jealousy.

The Countess is the posh bird.

I didn't expect much from her, like what else can she do?

But she really nailed the sewing challenge.

So, she really surprised me.

Let me tell you, it actually was a sewing challenge.

- But you only used glue. - You glued everything.

- I did a little sewing. - No, you glued.

I was sewing my butt off, and she squirted some glue.

Well, it got me the win, so boo-hoo. Bitch.

Aren't you disappointed you didn't win, because you were the favorite.

I fancied winning, but I'm also glad my sister won.

Is it 'sister'?

Because I can feel a love story coming up,

- Lesbian love. - Between you girls.

[Giggling]

- What? Silence means assent? - We'll see.

We're both young and beautiful, so that sounds perfect.

- I'll stand by my lesbian mistress. - [Laughter]

Ivy, darling, how do you feel after this week?

[In English] Bottom tray is not a good look.

But I'm through to the next week.

And now in Dutch.

[In Dutch] I deserve to be here.

So I'll give this week my best shot.

[Siren whoops]

[All cheering]

Aaah!

RuPaul, lovely.

What will madame Ru tell us today?

Lady Kent. You know, anyone can call herself a queen.

But to become the next Dutch drag superstar,

you've got to earn it.

So ask yourself, what becomes a legend most?

And you become the icon you were born to be.

- Oh God. - I don't understand...

Icon?

It's so cryptic.

What the fuck are we doing?

Iconic?

- Snatch Game? - Snatch Game, already?

That can be tough.

[Whimpers]

- [Shouts] Hey, girls! - [Queens scream]

Seven, eight...!

[Vocalizing beat]

Hey, girls! [Laughs]

Only eight queens left in this race.

Next up is the mini-challenge.

[All gasp]

This time the theme is the nineties.

Well-known to you, sweetheart?

[Laughter]

So, we're talking Back Street Boys, Britney Spears, Spice Girls.

For me, the nineties were all about really hardcore gabber.

[Hardcore, fast-paced techno music]

Oh, pit-crew!

[Cheering and screaming]

[Fred] Yes, baby!

What are you looking at?

[Raucous laughter]

Pick a delicious drag outfit.

And pick heels

you can dance in, because we're going to be doing

"hakken in heels!"

[Cheering]

You've got 20 minutes, girls.

[Gasping and yelling]

Girls!

We have to be so fast, what am I doing, oh my gosh.

How do you feel about hakken and gabber?

I've never done it, the hardcore stuff.

Good luck, it'll be intense.

Gabber parties and all that.

Taking pills and being all hyped up, yeah.

[Imitating fast drum beat]

Do you know how to do hakken, Vivaldi?

I can barely walk in heels, let alone hakken in heels.

It'll be an adventure.

Have you ever done gabber? Obviously, it's really Dutch.

I've seen it a few times, but never tried it.

Were you traumatized? 'Cause I was.

If there's something I'm not, it's a gabber.

I mean... exhibit A.

♪ I wanna see the rainbow high in the sky

♪ I wanna see you and me on a bird flying away ♪

Ladies, this is real.

I can feel the '90s, lovely.

I was full of confidence to show everybody how it's done.

[Upbeat techno music]

- [Fred] Hakken, hakken, hakken! - Woo!

[Cheering]

At one point I lost my wig. Aw...

Really professional.

[Fred] Hakken!

Lots of this.

Girl, are you having a seizure?

I swallowed a rake when I was three, and it's still there.

Hakken!

♪ I wanna see a rainbow high in the sky

♪ I wanna see you and me...

I know she ran a dance academy.

I thought she would nail it, but it was a bit disappointing, actually.

Next!

Happa! Hakken, hakken, hakken!

[Fred] Yes, yeah.

I've never seen a gabber do a dead-drop.

My ankle went, it cracked.

So I thought I'd better go down.

♪ We can reach out for the sky

♪ No more pain and no more sorrow

♪ Through you I am the one I could never be, never be

- Yeah, go for it! - Hakken!

A peasant woman doing a clog dance to happy hard core.

[Wheezing laugh]

Just keep going, going.

I did that really well.

Next.

Nobody before me really showed what 'gabbering' is.

[Loud cheering]

Finally there's some of passion.

Screw the heels!

She lost her wig, and one of them was really stiff.

At last, I'm going to win!

OK. Honestly?

This was the '90s vibe I was talking about. I was really into it.

Some of you as well, some less so.

There can only be one winner.

And that is of course the one and only Ivy-Elyse Monroe!

[Applause]

Yeah!

I won, yay!

[Fred] And what have you won?

I don't know.

Ten pairs of lovely heels from the Silhouette shop in Rotterdam!

[Yelling]

That I can win a fucking mini-challenge, means a lot.

Dust of my shoulder, bitch.

I'm happy that he won something.

Especially if he's going home soon.

But...

- This was the mini-challenge. On to... - The maxi-challenge...

This week's maxi-challenge is...

It's time for... Snatch Game!

Exciting.

It's the ultimate Drag Race challenge.

I'm really looking forward to it.

You're going to transform into a celebrity.

The most important thing is...

to get me and the jury laughing.

Racers, start your engines.

And may the best queen win.

[Cheering]

[Relaxed electronic music]

- Are you nervous? - A little.

I'm feeling nauseous. I'm dreading it.

- Healthy tension, it's the Snatch Game. - Yeah, healthy tension.

Either you're funny, or you're not, but you carry that with you forever.

Snatch Game is a win or break. All or nothing.

- Or you screw it up completely. - No pressure.

Of course she's nervous.

The Countess is beautiful, but that's about it.

I can feel a frown coming up already.

Her strength is to be polished and perfect.

But the Snatch Game is not perfect, it's about letting it go, let it go.

Maybe we have to let her go, bye bitch.

You have to be yourself, but excessively so.

- Times 100. - Letting it all go.

The control, the arrogance.

Just letting it go, and just go for it.

The image I've got is a facade,

but they all have it, mine is just a bit juicier.

- What will you do? - Louis Quatorze.

Oh, with a French accent!

I've chosen Louis XIV.

The Roi du Soleil, a man of luxury, just like me. Plenty of options.

We're on the same wavelength, because I'm doing Queen Mathilde.

- From Belgium. - Absolutely.

Our queen is a very polished lady

and I'm creating a different version.

I'm going for prosthetic

with these cheek bones, because I'm doing...

- Who are you? - My lovebirds.

I'm choosing Marijke Helwegen, because she's her own caricature.

She doesn't take herself serious, which is very funny.

Marijke Helwegen, the Queen of Plastic Surgery.

She's got a physical aspect that I can hold on to.

- Let's go. - And who will you be, Tabit'?

I'll be Kim Holland.

- Vulgar! - Very vulgar but very neat.

A very horny good morning.

Kim is very good because she is funny.

But I'll do it my way, not the Kim Holland that everybody knows.

- I'm doing a whorish girl as well. - Which whore are you doing?

- Cock Destroyer... - No way!

Sophie Anderson. You're a Dutch whore, I'm a British one.

She's a very vulgar, ordinary girl.

Rather suits you, very whorish.

- [Laughter] - It suits me.

Hup, hup, la-la, girls!

[Cheering]

- How are you all doing? - Lovely, wonderful.

You're not saying anything but are already making me laugh.

What is it about you?

- I'm trying. - Who will you be?

A very horny good morning.

Great, you're doing Kim Holland.

But you know we're expecting a lot.

But don't forget about her soft side.

If you can do that as well, I'm telling you, you'll be a real queen.

I'll give it my best, honey.

Ooh, Vivaldi, how's it going?

It's scary. Voices in my head keep saying, "You're nothing."

- Are they? - Really.

So how do you manage to always perform well when you're on stage?

Because I really believe in it then.

- Believe in myself. - Who will you be?

- I'll be your dear friend Nikkie Plessen. - No!

Yes, so that lovely girl is back for Season Two.

- I know her very well. - You know her very well.

and if it's just a little bit off...

- Oh dear. Exciting. - [Fred laughs]

- Who are you doing today? - I'm doing Cardi B.

[Trilling]

- It suits you. - It suits me, I can be very neat and shy

- but also very ragged. - I've noticed.

[Gasps] What are you doing?

Adding wrinkles when you've, maybe, used so much Botox?

Girl, I've got units from here to Tokyo.

- So contradictory. - Indeed. Who will you be?

- Louis XIV. - The Sun King!

- Is it scary? - Totally.

I work so hard to make my personality as polished as possible,

that in a challenge where you have to let go, it might be too much.

- You might be over-polished. - Yes.

I don't think I'm very funny.

I might crack a joke after a bottle of Pinot Grigio.

But that's about it.

Come on girl, wrinkles?

That's really horrible. Ugh.

- How are you doing? - Much better tonight.

I can tell, your eyes are shining.

Girl, I hope that the uncertainty that you've got inside you,

that you can leave it behind you, or use it.

You've got just as much right to be here as all the others.

And whether you're black or whatever your issues are

work with them or they'll work against you.

I will.

If you can't love yourself, how the hell will you love somebody else? So true.

Thank you.

Who will you be?

- Grace Jones. - Of course.

Are you nervous?

- It's part of you. - Yes, it is.

Grace Jones isn't that funny, but I will sing.

I'm a good singer, so I think it'll work.

Any problems, come and see me.

And the girls all want to help you.

Well, not always. They might ruin your heels. I've heard stuff.

I don't quite get the Countess yet. She's a pretty girl

but I'm not sure what she's like as a performer,

and who she really is as a drag queen.

Are you afraid to look like a fool?

Yes, because I've often been made to look the fool at school.

I was the only one who was openly gay, which was difficult for many.

Sometimes they waited for me or followed me and it kept getting worse.

So I'm a bit scared that I might end up feeling the same way.

It's the main reason why the Countess always has to look perfect.

It's something I aim for

because I used to really not have it.

To look like a fool when you've always been made fun of

can be a trigger to return to old patterns.

And that worries me.

I get that.

There's too much going on in my head, and it happens really fast.

There's only one thing we can do

- and that's to really rock it. - Exactly.

[Fanfare]

[Quiet cheering]

Welcome to the Snatch Game.

She may well be our country's most successful actress,

and whether it's Nikkie Plessen, Queen Maxima or Brit Dekker,

she makes them come to life with ease, Elyse Schaap.

[Polite applause]

The man who's changed shape so often he doesn't remember who he is

Carlo Boszard.

- Today you're Carlo Boszard. - Now? Carlo Boszard?

- Yes, Carlo Boszard. - Great, man.

[Laughs sarcastically]

- What are you looking out for? - It has to be fun.

- A good resemblance. - Yes, why not.

If there's no resemblance, then what?

- It's about the comic timing. - Yes.

Not be afraid to pick your moment and to give it away.

Trying to improve the others in the game.

It's about team building as well.

May I have your attention for our more than unique panel.

Her nickname is Miss Facelift.

She prefers talking to animals and there's a whole lot of shaking going on.

Marijke Helwegen.

Woo-hoo!

[Shakily] Hello, sweet TV-pigeons.

How does a pigeon actually sound?

[Wobbly coo]

[Fred bursts into laughter]

She was the villain May Day in the James Bond movie A View To A Kill.

But we know this American-Jamaican beauty mostly as a singer.

Grace Jones!

Hello, Miss Jones.

Can you give us a bit from your most famous song?

Of course, Fred.

♪ Slave to the rhythm. ♪

Wonderful, girlfriend.

Woo-hoo!

Once he was the King of France in the 17th century

Louis XIV, or the Sun King.

Bonjour, mon chèr Le Roi Soleil.

- Tu n'es pas mort? - I am immortal.

Whatever.

She's the most successful fashion lady in the Netherlands

travels the world in her private jet

a few million here and there is nothing to her.

My dear friend, Nikkie Plessen.

Welcome, can you introduce yourself to everybody?

28 million boutiques, polyester,

[Robotically] Keyposs, bla bla bla, I think I'll go to Ibiza.

[Chuckling]

I got the brilliant idea to be Nikkie Plessen

in front of Elyse Schaap, the most iconic Nikkie Plessen ever. No pressure!

[Nasally] Wonderful!

[Fred laughs]

Ooh, I sense some... never mind. Stop it.

Next to the Sun King, we have more royalty on the panel.

As a true Belgian, she's always understated and modest.

Edging on boring. The Belgian queen, Mathilde.

My dear Queen, I don't want to insult you

but you're a bit of a boring bitch in comparison to our queen, Maxima.

I may seem frumpy but Queen Maxima is a proper cow.

Ooh...

[Fred] OK, OK...

Hold your horses, my friend.

No sense of humor, that girl, pretty but no humor.

No wallflower at all, our porn pearl from Den Haag

who literally sucks at everything.

Kim Holland.

Kim.

This is nice, I'm so excited.

I'm starting to hyperventilate already.

[Laughing]

We don't have one, but two porn pussies in the house.

A famous cock destroyer.

UK model and internet personality, Sophie Anderson.

Hi Sophie, you look a bit like your namesake, Pamela.

[In English accent] No, babes, I'm much more of a slut.

- Wait a minute. - Oh.

I don't...

[Whistling air]

What's happening?

Are you queefing or happy to see me?

Happy to see you, darling.

[Laughter]

Last but not least, all the way from New York City.

She's fierce, she's powerful, and she raps like a handful, Cardi B.

Miss Cardi B, you're looking a bit nervous.

Yes, I'm nervous, I'm farting out of my vagina.

Farting as well, wow.

Fine. How does it work? I ask Elyse or Carlo a question

but I omit a word or a part of the sentence.

The celebs have to guess what Elyse or Carlo's answer is.

The first question is for Carlo Boszard.

There's a rumor that there will be a special gay-edition

of Football Inside.

And it will be called, dot dot dot.

I'm curious.

What's the name of the special gay-edition of Football Inside?

Inside. I want to lift the show up a bit, so I've been thinking.

Cum that shot.

[Laughs incredulously]

I'll start with Marijke Helwegen.

Every Ball-y has it's Hole-y.

- Every hole? - No?

Sun King, what is your reply?

Sacre bleu, since I am the Roi du Soleil,

my answer is always right.

- Sacre Balls. - [Judges] Holy Balls?

Girl, you've got to work that French accent.

[speaks snatches of French nonsense]

Queen Mathilde.

Play with my Balls.

- Play with my Balls? - Very original.

I play with my husband Filip, so I thought, well,

and I think my man is a bit fond of men, too.

Hence, Play with my Balls.

Baby, my little cock destroyer.

Well, I don't give a fuck about football

but I know a little trick I learned in Bang-cock.

You know, from a Thai whore.

Oh, oh dear.

Oh my God!

Oh my God!

[Moaning]

[Jeering and laughing]

Grace Jones, what's the answer?

♪ Slave to the rhythm

♪ Love to the rhythm ♪

Girl, what are you doing?

And moving on, Kim Holland.

I thought long and hard, but as it's a gay program

I'll go for: Ballsed it up.

Ballsed it up?

If you missed anything, read it in my book 'Sex Power' by Kim Holland.

I invested in this and made me another million. Wealth.

"Wealth, full-stop."

- Cardi B. - Creampie Inside.

Creampie Inside?

- You want to see my wet-ass pussy? - Yes!

- My wet-ass pussy. - Eat my pussy.

That's what she should've said.

OK. [Clears throat]

Any right answers, Carlo?

- No, no match. - No match.

Too bad. Too bad, so sad.

- Elyse. - Yep.

These days everything gets canceled

but now it's going too far.

Queen Maxima was canceled because she...

dot, dot, dot, in the Huis ten Bosch Palace.

Are you happy to see me or is it something else on your...

I'll take a lick of this...

pigeon shite and keep my skin neat and tight.

Elyse, what has Queen Maxima done wrong?

[Breathlessly] Well, just sucking some dust,

with the emphasis on sucking.

[High-pitched giggle]

Kim Holland, how's your hoovering?

[Snorts]

- A little line is always fine. - Grace Jones.

[Fred] Slave to the Kingdom.

♪ Slave to the kingdom.

[Holds note]

[Crickets chirping]

Cricket sounds.

Queen Maxima wasn't wearing Nikkie fashion, for sale in my online boutiques.

For 228 million, thank you, darling.

She set fire to Willem Alexander's crispy underwear.

Crispy underwear. What do you mean by that?

With a smell. I'm not wearing any, because I...

[Uproarious laughter]

Tabitha as Kim Holland? I only saw Tabitha.

She's a certified freak, seven days a week.

Wet-ass pussy, get real.

Eh-heh!

[Moaning]

We have Cardi B. Cardi Basic? Boring? Carli Flatline.

With my wet-ass pussy.

I want to apologize to my mom, as she's watching this.

Dear mom, I didn't see, read or write any of this, and this is the result.

Queen Mathilde.

King Willem Alexander has released a Prince Albert.

Oh!

What is a Prince Albert?

A Prince Albert is normally done with a big one, but I think his is only little.

[Snores] Oh? Vanessa?

No match, unfortunately, but thank you for some unique answers.

The next question is for you, Carlo.

Fred Van Leer...

Who has written this statement?

Fred Van Leer has written an autobiography

titled: 'Deep inside, I feel like a dot, dot dot.'

Ladies.

Write down your answer and remember

that I'm the one who has to save you.

Carlo, I'm keen to know...

- this time. - I've changed it a bit.

Fred Van Leer: 'My Complete Success.' A hefty volume, as you can see.

Marijke Helwegen, be careful bitch.

Van Leer wrote an autobiography:

I feel like I'm eighty, but I'm pretty great-y.

Can you give us that pigeon sound again?

Would that be a wood pigeon, a mail pigeon, an Agoric scrotum pigeon?

Get on with it, the Agoric thing, pigeon.

Oh, dear.

[Weakly] Rrroo-coo!

Your turn.

Roo-coo-roo-coo, bye bye, darling!

Oh, lovely, that's a sourpuss pigeon.

[Inhales sharply]

Louis the Whatever, the Sun King. Tell me.

We don't know each other, but you seem like a sidewalk prostitute.

[Judges gasp]

Let's move on. I can't wait for your answer.

Freddy boy, you're a dirty pig.

When I saw your movie, I was an instant fan, so amazing.

[Laughs]

Why don't we do something together?

We'd be amazing, Freddie, babe.

Nikkie Plessen, you're a friend, can I just say.

Deep inside, you feel like a Loubou'.

Looks good but walks like a bitch.

[Quiet applause]

Fred, I had to think long and hard, but I know.

Deep down you're like a noisy parrot with shit on your stick and seed in your beak.

[Bursts out laughing]

[Screams with laughter]

[Fred] But tasty.

Let's move on, girlfriend.

Can I get back to my spot, please?

Cardi B!

Why do you choose me to answer this question? What is the reason?

- What was the reason? - No.

What was the reason, bitch?!

Oh, my God.

[Screaming]

What was the reason, bitch?!

♪ Slave to the rhythm.

Sorry, Carlo, for throwing a shoe at you.

It was Cardi's fault.

Grace Jones.

- [Vanessa whispers] Disgusting. - [Carlo] Oh, she's off.

Oh, just checking.

She's not going to sing the same song again, is she?

[Gagging and laughter]

She emerges from under that table... and it's déjà-vu.

It was Louis, it was Louis!

A pigeon shat in her mouth.

Marijke, I don't think this came from a pigeon.

This was Snatch Game.

[Carlo] OK. [Elyse snorts]

And the winner is... Damn, I didn't pay attention.

Thank you Carlo, Elyse, thank you celebs, see you later.

Bye bye, darling!

[Chattering]

ELIMINATION DAY

[Humming tune]

[Puny] Hello, little pigeons!

Today is a new day. I fancy the runway.

How was Snatch Game?

- Traumatic. - Exciting.

If we have to name names, who is going home?

It could be you... the Countess.

- Or you. - And Masisi?

- Sorry, love. - Oh, yeah?

Your Mathilde wasn't much fun either.

- Countess? - You could've stepped up a bit more.

Tell me something new, that I look good, that'll help me more.

I think it's between Countess, Masisi and you.

I was expecting more from you after rehearsals.

You were more fun then, than during the actual game.

- I couldn't see you well. - Shut up then.

I did, already.

Vanessa always has an opinion about everyone, but when someone says something

about her, she's offended and takes it personally.

Don't worry so much. You just should've done better.

Let's go!

Let's go, monsters.

[Intense music]

This will be such an intense runway.

I know for sure everybody will show off.

After all, it's Monster Ball!

- Hey, Tabit'? - Yes?

You said that if you were safe, we could shave your eyebrows.

- Let's get rid of the hairy caterpillars. - I don't know, girls.

- Do you want to say goodbye to them? - Yes.

This is so bad. [Laughing]

- Take your hat off. - You don't want it in your hair.

- We don't want that. - No, we don't.

- Bye bye, darling. - Easy now, easy. My skin is sensitive.

[Tabitha whimpers]

This is my worst nightmare.

[Vivaldi screams]

It looks awful.

I could cry.

[Muffled laugh]

Join the club.

And then you get this.

These penciled eyebrows.

Oh, boys.

I think it helps her have more time to prepare.

She needs that time.

- Yes, darling. - I need to tell you something.

I don't understand why, off camera,

you tell me I'm safe when I ask you how I've done.

When the camera's on, you call me out.

One on one, it's fine, and when we're together I get called out.

I'm not happy about it, I feel ridiculed.

I want to solve it, for me white is white and black is black. There's no in-between.

I think it's hypocritical, if you've got something to say

- say it to my face. - No, darling.

I told you yesterday, to your face, in front of Countess,

that I expected more from you, and thought you'd be funnier during the game..

I like telling people what I think.

I don't like being called a hypocrite.

I understand you don't want to be named, but I'm being honest.

I think Vanessa feels insecure about her Snatch Game,

so she's taking it out on others.

If that's what you meant, I experienced it differently.

That's fine, darling.

[Vanessa] Whatever.

I'm disappointed in Vivaldi.

She's superficial, not interested. I sense something false.

And that really gets to me.

I'm not happy about it.

No more sweet talk.

- Sisterhood. - The honeymoon is over.

The competition is on, bitch.

For years he's been responsible for many hit TV shows.

But here, he's a fan of the show, and he knows what he's talking about.

Carlo Boszard.

Welcome back, Carlo. Have you already seen a queen you'd marry at first sight?

One moment...

Yes, with you, obviously.

That is the only right answer.

I'm happy she's with us again.

My dear friend, with whom I've spent many a night at the clubs of Rotterdam.

And who knows the Dutch drag scene like nobody else.

Marieke Samallo!

Bonjour, Frederik.

I'm very happy to be here again, what a party.

Party? You're paid to pay attention, darling.

For this runway, the queens were told

to create a monster look, which is frightening as well as beautiful.

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

Category is: Monsters' Ball.

Ivy-Elyse Monroe. Devil Fish Queen.

[Ivy] I'll do the best I can to put in a good performance this week.

I have to create fireworks.

From the deepest depths of the ocean, the sea devil queen has come ashore

to be present at the monster ball.

[Marieke] Is she from some backwater hellhole?

Tabitha. Miss Venom.

[Tabitha] I feel great, I'm totally in the moment

and I'm going to sell the garment.

[Marieke] I'm a bit in the dark.

[Fred] It's one big fashion oil disaster.

Vanessa van Cartier. How is your head?

[Vanessa] Today, I'm serving high-fashion alien monster.

My nails are my sharp weapons.

And with my teeth, I decapitated the gift for my host.

How is your head?

[Marieke] She's giving head?

[Buddy] I think she needs to do some white laundry.

Don't play with the head.

[Singing] Yes Fred, no Fred.

[Fred laughs]

You get a no or a yes.

Vivaldi. Thalassophobia.

Today, I've chosen a sea monster.

I'm really scared of sharks and such, I've channeled my own fear

and created a fierce sea monster.

I'd like to reel her in, eh?

Fred, how do we feel about this?

Keta Minaj Ketarella, Beauty of the Ball.

Today, I'm showing a demon who created a dress from her own fur.

Fantasy meets hell meets extravaganza.

[Carlo] This isn't a monster, but a mon-star.

[Marieke] Satan has come to take my soul.

Lucky for me, I haven't got one.

Love Masisi. Marriage of me and my beautiful demon.

[Buddy] ♪ There comes the bride, in a leopard skin

[Screams]

[Masisi] Tonight, I'm marrying my inner saboteur,

Greta from Gremlins.

Love is what she needs.

And love is what she gets.

[Carlo] It's married at first fright.

My Little Puny. Arachnophobi-yes!

[Puny] The spider queen arrived to the ball.

A posh girl, but be aware, this beauty kills.

[Carlo] I have my eye on her. And she on me, but which one?

The Countess. Don't Say My Name Three Times.

This is one of my favorite looks ever.

It's comic book, super evil, fashion, glamour.

[Carlo] Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

- She's one line ahead. - Don't say her name three times!

[Carlo] Oh, sh...

My dear queens, thank you for your monster-like looks.

It's insane and out of this world.

Who's going home?

When I call out your name, take a step forward.

Vivaldi.

You... are this week's winner. Congratulations.

- Thank you very much. Oh my God. - You're welcome.

[Screeches]

I won Snatch Game.

Who would've thought.

Wait a minute, I'm calling out another name, which is...

Keta Minaj. You're also this week's winner.

- Congratulations. - Oh my God.

Two wins already, I'm going crazy.

Nikkie Plessen? There you are again.

Elyse Schaap made some notes, and I've got them here.

She's proud, proud, proud. You nailed it, you improvised.

I felt you let go and enjoyed it.

This was my worst nightmare Snatch Game.

But I gave it my all.

You also interacted well with all the other queens.

Some only said what they had prepared.

But you delivered all the time, congratulations.

Time now for my toy puss, porn puss, Sophie Anderson.

Oh my God, that had some serious balls.

You delivered it.

Another thing I want to say is that I'm blown away by this outfit.

- Thank you. - Combined with Snatch Game.

- You are a winner, baby. - Nice, bitch.

[Applause]

Of course, there is also a reward.

A 1.000 check

from House of Bratz.

[Both] Ooh!

- Yeah! - Lovely.

But... there's another prize.

It's not money... but a... badge.

A badge.

The "feather up your bum to remind your competitors...

Badge."

[Cheering]

Congratulations, you can go backstage now.

I see six queens before me

who made it very difficult for us, starting with Ivy-Elyse Monroe.

- Buddy. - A good, scary entrance.

Straightaway, I was hooked by those teeth.

You had some issues with your dress.

It happens, but when you focus on it, so do audience and jury.

It's a beautiful costume. Cardi B wasn't so funny.

Compared to the rest, I thought it wasn't very good.

Tabitha.

Tabitha, you delivered your creation well from the start.

But your neck showing distracts from the overall effect.

A shame, because it was great.

Tabitha, I think you delivered it well.

But that neckline. There's people at the bottom of the world as well.

That's true.

I'm sure Kim Holland knows that as well.

That was fantastic.

You delivered a wonderful Kim Holland.

I remember thinking that I missed a bit of jawline.

I miss Irene, but you had your own take on her.

It was spot on, I enjoyed your performance. Well done.

Let's move on with Vanessa Van Cartier.

For me, you're the winner of this runway show.

You were so good and managed to create something sexy out of a monster.

I also really liked your creepy walk.

It fits the theme, is well thought out but also very difficult.

Just try walking off balance with heels like that.

- Thank you. - I'm worried I'm going to lose my head.

- Can I just say it? - You can just say it.

Darling, Mathilde wasn't very good. In the Snatch Game

you have to be edgy, and you weren't.

I'm sorry.

Let's move on to Love Masisi.

I love your look.

But when you're working with heavy makeup or masks

you're risking losing some interaction with your audience.

And I thought that was a shame.

The Grace Jones-look was very good.

Grace Jones creates expectation.

But then you get [Flatly] "Slave to the rhythm."

For the next question, it would be fun if you

then go "Have you got some time for me?"

Something totally different that makes me think it's funny.

Fun is more than just Slave to the Rhythm.

Let's move on with My Little Puny.

Previously, you spoiled us on the runway, but now it was a bit boring.

Marijke Helwegen was great.

Congratulations with a big C. Really.

- The Countess. - Hello.

It would make me happy to see you at a monster's ball, your taste is impeccable.

I love it.

- Louis XIV. - The Sun King.

This part was one of the most boring.

And you deserve so much more. Such a shame.

Enough for now.

Ladies, you can go backstage, because we're going to have a lovely...

gossip session about you.

Bye bye, darling.

[Grumbling]

Hello, girls.

Fucking amazing, a double win, I wasn't expecting it.

Me neither.

I was happy with being safe

for the Snatch Game. But this feels correct.

[Scattered laughter]

What did they say about you?

- Very mixed. - The horror thing went well.

[Slurring] But the Snatch Game was a bad game.

The Snatch Game was lifeless.

I'd go and see a dentist, if I were you.

[Fake laugh] You too.

[Laughter]

And you Masisi, how are you doing?

I'm a bit disappointed.

I think I'll have to lip sync.

This wasn't easy either.

- I've done all of this myself. - Beautiful, really well done.

Other people put something on their face, but I did all this myself.

It wasn't easy.

If you have to lip sync in this outfit, I can't wait to see it.

The comments are so mixed.

One has a good look, but bad snatch, and the other way round.

It's all over the place.

It could go anywhere, so I'm, uh... shitting my plastic dress.

[Chuckling]

- I'm getting an i-Book. - Me too.

Let's start with Ivy-Elyse Monroe.

The act was alright, but if you're struggling with your dress like that...

- True that. - It's not good enough.

- Cardi B wasn't good. - It wasn't funny.

- It wasn't strong. - Again, not good.

Next up, Tabitha, or Kim Holland.

The outfit is lacking, finishing that neckline would improve it a lot.

With a blacklight people would only see a dancing neck.

- [Fred laughs] - It's absurd.

But she was fantastic as Kim Holland.

How many queens are actually funny?

I know a queen who's funny, smart, slim and happens to be dressed in red.

Moving on with Vanessa van Cartier.

Mathilde from Belgium.

[Inhales loudly, then sighs]

A bit boring.

She could've done more. A bit more interaction with the others.

Especially because a lot of the other queens were very vulgar.

That gave her a chance to respond.

I don't know what's happening to me. But the look was incredible.

- Spotless. - Great.

Love Masisi.

On the runway she was pretty restrained.

So I felt it was a shame she covered up her face, and especially her mouth.

Difficult, because I love Love Masisi.

- But does she love herself enough? - That's the problem.

My Little Puny.

It was pretty, it was beautiful.

But on a runway I want extravaganza, everything larger than life.

And I didn't quite get that.

[Shakily] Marijke Helwegen was very good.

So, Marijke Helwegen, yes.

Tonight, no girl, too easy.

The Countess.

Louis XIV wasn't a ray of sunshine.

- [Fred] No. - It was boring.

She could've done a lot more with French, I'll cut off your head!

What? Quiet!

I'm talking!

A bit more energy perhaps.

But tonight's look... groovy.

- This is everything. - You want to put her in a bell jar.

But yes, I don't know if you watched and counted

but we had six queens

who were good one day, and not so good the next.

Or the other way round. So what do we decide?

- I've got an idea... - If we only...

[Crosstalk]

Quiet!

I've made a decision.

Bring back my monsters.

Welcome back, dear queens.

We've made a decision.

My Little Puny...

you... are going through, congratulations.

Woo!

Vanessa... you...

are through as well, congratulations.

Thank you.

The Countess.

You...

have also made it through.

Your look tonight is out of this world.

It really saved you.

But we're expecting more from you. You may join the other queens.

Ivy-Elyse Monroe.

This look is marvelous.

But you were first, and then another queen came on, and another one.

And they were also beautiful.

Therefore, Snatch Game is very important.

And that wasn't good at all.

Tabitha... your Snatch Game was on.

But this look is lacking a lot.

Love Masisi.

This look... beautiful. Beautiful.

But difficult with the mask on your face.

You lose so much of your lovely face.

Your Snatch Game... [grumbles] just wasn't strong enough.

Two of you will fight the lip sync battle. One of you goes through.

Ivy-Elyse Monroe.

You...

are doing the lip sync.

The next name is going through to the next round.

And that is...

Tabitha.

Which means that you, dear Love Masisi

are also in the lip sync battle.

You've prepared a lip sync battle

to the song is It's All Coming Back To Me Now by Celine Dion.

It's time... to lip sync for your life.

Good luck. And don't screw it up.

[Cheering, scattered applause]

Dear queens, I've made my decision.

Ivy-Elyse Monroe.

Sweet girl, your time hasn't come yet.

Shantay, you stay.

Girl, love you, babe.

[Muttering] ...Love you...

Sweet Love Masisi.

From the moment you entered with your inflatable aubergines

you left an impression nobody will forget.

[Voice breaking] I find it really difficult to send you home.

You're a queen that's got it all.

But I felt that you already gave up before the lip sync battle started.

I felt that last time as well, and it's really hindering you.

Because you are so talented.

[Voice breaks] And I'm finding this very difficult to say.

I can't ask for more than this.

Honestly.

- Thank you, my darling. - Thank you.

- We love you. - Dear queen,

- Well done. - Drag race is over.

For you, but not for me.

Shashay away, or, bye bye darling, and I hope to see you again soon.

[Queens cheer] Masisi!

I Love Masisi.

Masisi means everybody.

We love you.

We love you!

I made peace with myself.

Of course, I'm out of the race.

But, I feel like a winner.

I love you.

Cheerio! Bye bye, darling.

You're going through, congratulations!

[All cheering]

Someone wants to talk to you.

Con-drag-ulations.

If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you going to love somebody else?

- Can I get an amen up in here? - Amen!

Alright now. Let the music play.

It sounds like a fairy tale.

[All] Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!
