[RuPaul] Previously on
RuPaul's Drag Race...

You'll be starring
in two breakthrough films.

Action.

[evil laugh]

[laughs]

Opulence.

-You earn.
-[Michelle] Own.

-You own
-You earn.

-Own.
-Own.

[RuPaul] Kahanna Montrese.

I saw you trying really hard.

I don't think
you got all the way there.

[RuPaul] Mercedes Iman Diamond.

[Michelle]
I feel amongst these girls

that you get quiet
and I lose you.

[RuPaul] Scarlett Envy
and Yvie Oddly,

you are both the winners
of this week's challenge.

Mercedes Iman Diamond,
shantay, you stay.

Thank you.

[RuPaul] Kahanna Montrese.

Sashay away.

-We made it.
-Oh, my God.

Get me out of this.

"Thank you
for making me feel loved.

-XOXO." Oh, Kahanna.
-Aww.

[Brooke] Kahanna was just
eliminated and it sucks,

but this is like
the fucking plains of Africa.

Eat or be eaten.

Girl, being on the bottom two
is not the Tee,

but girl, I was like,
uh-huh, I can't go home.

I give everything for this.

Mercedes wanted to stay.

We got the message.

But Mercedes needs to turn out
these challenges.

She's a little bit introverted,

and her looks are not
that strong, either.

So it's like where are you
going to be strong at?

You struggling
in all the categories.

You gotta pick a struggle.

You can't struggle
at everything, bitch.

You'll go home.

How about two winners
for the challenge?

-Congratulations.
-Oooh!

Yes girl.

[Nina] This should have been
my challenge.

I feel like I'm fading away.

I need to like figure out

how to be a star
in a roomful of stars.

I delivered in the challenge.

And I hope I send a message

to anyone who maybe
is discounting me.

[Vanjie laughs]

You know.

I was super-surprised how well
that Scarlet and Yvie did.

I was a little bit jealous

because I thought that
they were going to bomb.

And then they killed it,
and I was like,

great, 'cause
I certainly did not.

I came in here
being like, oh, bitch,

I'm gonna kill
these acting challenges.

And for them to tell me,
like, oh, girl, it wasn't there,

I'm like what the fuck?

[Silky]
Ariel is a social media girl,

so I think
it's a difference for her

being in a situation where
she's with real entertainers.

She's one note.

She don't really have
a personality.

She's an Instagram ho.

Nobody care.

NO-body care.

[cries]

[RuPaul] The winner
of RuPaul's Drag Race

[cheers]

Good morning.

It's a brand new day,
ladies and gentlemen.

A brand new day.

I woke up this morning,

there's one less ho,
and I feel great.

[alarm]

[RuPaul] Oh, girl!

She done already
done had herses.

My queens, whether you're
the preacher's wife

or a freaking deacon,

queenliness
is next to Godliness.

Can I get an amen?

[all] Amen!

-Yaay.
-Ahhh.

Hello, hello, hello.

[cheers and applause]
- Hi!

Ladies, picture this.

The year is 1990,

and I'm working
the backstage door

after a sold out concert

by the super-hot girl group
Seduction,

featuring Michelle Visage.

I wonder
whatever happened to her.

[all laugh]

So for today's mini challenge,

you need to do and say

whatever it takes
to sweet-talk your way in.

In the end, the two queens

with the funniest powers
of persuasion win.

Now, you've got 15 minutes

to get your all-access
VIP drags on.

Go!

Y'all, somebody please tuck me.

Move, bitch, move.
[all laugh]

Girl, these quick challenges

are teaching me
the real meaning of beauty.

[RuPaul] All right, ladies.
Time's up.

[crowd cheering]

[muffled dance music playing]

[RuPaul] Who is it?
-Hi, there, hi, hi.

This is Sue.
Sue from Northern Canada, eh.

Um, I was hoping to get in
to see Michelle Visage.

[RuPaul]
Is your name on the list?

I'm here as a part of my women's
hockey team, the Moose Knuckles.

[RuPaul] Well, I see
the Moose Knuckles.

I got nine and a half reasons

why Michelle Visage wants me
in this back door, baby.

[RuPaul] Well, show me
at least one of them.

I twerk, boo.

[RuPaul]
There's a half reason.

A half?

[RuPaul] Are you sure
you're in the right place?

Uh...

-Uh!
-[laughs]

[RuPaul] What's your name?

Merckes.

[RuPaul] How do you spell that?

It's M-E-R-C-K-E-S.

[RuPaul] Is that Mercedes?

Yes.

[RuPaul] Name three
Seduction songs.

Okay...

Seduction, Seduct,
and Selectivity.

-[RuPaul laughs]
-Girl, what two things

make a thing go right, girl?

[RuPaul] You are loitering.

Loitering?

[RuPaul] Security.

If you're such a good friend
of Michelle Visage,

what's her middle name?

You tell me her middle name
since you know so much about it.

[RuPaul] Well, I'm all up
in the party.

-You're the one--
-No, you're checking the door.

[RuPaul] I... [laughs]

You have a password?

Tig old bitties, no?
[RuPaul] Wrong.

Girl, let me in!

Let me in.
It's your girl.

[RuPaul] Let me see the ass.
Oh.

[RuPaul] Ain't no ass there.

Ain't no--look again.

[RuPaul] Is that a rabbit coat?

Yeah, yeah, it's my good fur.

My good fur.

[RuPaul] Access has been denied.

What?

Yeah, I'm feeling it.

Oh, my God, this is just like
tea and crumpets on Sundays.

Yes.
[RuPaul] All right.

Yeah? Yeah?

I'm here
to have her sign my baby.

[RuPaul]
Name five Seduction songs.

There's that one
about two people.

[RuPaul] Yeah,
you can't name them,

and can't nobody else either.

Um, I'm to understand

one Michelle Visage
is performing here tonight.

[RuPaul] You have credentials?

It's a maternity test.
She's my mom.

[RuPaul] You need
to move along, ma'am.

You cannot come up in here.
I'm sorry.

[crying]
Let me in please, miss.

I would like to see my mom.

[RuPaul laughs]

I'm gonna have to call child
protective services on you.

Oh, my God, mommy.

[RuPaul] Or a dentist.

[buzz buzz buzz]

[RuPaul] Bitch, that ain't
gonna get you nowhere.

I'm gonna football tackle
this door, honey.

[RuPaul]
I'd like to see you try.

Whoa-ho-ho!

One, two, three.

[RuPaul] Oh! [laughs]

Whoo!

[RuPaul] Do you hear that siren?

Only thing I hear
is "Come in, Silky."

Oh, you told me to come in.

[RuPaul] Aah!
-I'm here, honey.

[Rupaul] Aah!

Ladies, you are all
total stalkers.

[all laugh]

But two of you proved you've
got real schmooze control.

-Nina West
-Yes!

And Ra'Jah O'Hara.

[cheers and applause]

Come on, bitch.

You've each won
a $1.500 gift card

from J.J. Malibu.

-Wow.
-Thank you. Thank you.

Ladies, this week
we're celebrating something

that drag queens
do better than anybody.

Diva worship.

For this week's maxi challenge,

you'll be starring in two
she-vangelical talk shows.

[cheers and applause]

Where you will preach
and teach the children

about the divine pop diva
of your choice.

Word!

Now, each of your live shows

will feature
heavenly hostesses,

live on-air conversions,

and of course, hymns of praise.

[cheers and applause]

Now, Nina and Ra'Jah,

since you won
the mini challenge,

you are each the deacon
of your congregations.

Nina, you go first.

Silky Nutmeg Ganache.

[applause]

Ra'Jah.

Praise the Lord, Shuga.

Yes, bitch.

-Yvie Oddly.
-Blessed she.

[all laugh]

Come on, Miss Scarlet.

I'm just here
for the communion.

Miss Vanjie.

Oh, jeez!

[all laugh]

Come on, Miss Plastique.

Oh, thank you, Jesus.

Let's go with...

Ahh...B-Brooke Lynn Hytes.

God is good.

-Come on, Honey.
-Yes, ma'am, praise Him.

-Ariel Versace.
-Ooh.

Now that leaves Mercedes
and A'Keria.

Y'all left me standing
in the nosebleeds with Mercedes.

All y'all have to blind,
crippled, and crazy.

I'm not surprised that
A'Keria's still there.

I haven't noticed A'Keria yet
in this competition.

Her first look was amazing,

but I really haven't seen
a lot of...

oomph from her yet.

The jury's still out
on A'Keria for me.

Come on through, A'Keria.

Point me to the Pastor.

Come on.

Which means Mercedes,
you are on Nina's team.

-Welcome home.
-Come on.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the blessed woman win.

[cheers and applause]

The challenge this week
is to produce and star

in our very own
she-vangelical talk show.

Praise Jesus.

This is the meat
of what Drag Race is.

The acting, the characters,
the fun, you know.

Like, where
Latrice Royale made a mark

was with "Get those nuts
away from my face."

Right?

I couldn't tell you
what she wore on the runway,

but I can tell you what she did
in an acting challenge.

First of all, pop diva.
Who do you know really well?

[Vanjie] Britney Spears.
[Nina] Britney.

[Brooke] Whitney Houston.
[Nina] Whitney.

-Britney.
-Whitney over Britney.

Yeah, Whitney over Britney
for me.

-Whitney or Britney?
-Britney.

Let's commit to Britney first.

There's a little bit more
maybe to play with there.

Yeah.

Does anyone feel particularly
driven to any one thing?

I would like to sing.

Does anybody else sing?
Because I sing.

I was just saying
it'd be kind of cute

if you and I were the singers.

Really, bitch?

Last week you said Silky
is loud, Silky is obnoxious.

There's a difference between
having a strong personality

and being obnoxious.

So what's the Tee, Christine?

I said it. Who cares?

Let's just build a bridge,
get over it, and move forward.

I don't hate her,
but at the same time,

I can't wait until she
Ariel her ass out the door.

Nyah. [chuckles]

Okay, so we've got Brooke Lynn
and I as the talk show hosts.

I think you'd be really great
as the person who converts.

-I can convert.
-I think that'd be really cute.

So, Mercedes, you can be
a non-believer with me.

Okay.

Do you have any solid basis
for your non-believer,

because I want to make sure,
like, you feel comfortable.

I'm thinking.

I think you should
just literally pretend

you've never heard
of Britney Spears.

Yeah.

Be like what is
a Britney Spears?

Where I come from, we do not
have a Britney Spears.

We just have spears.

Yeah. Yas!

[all laugh]

Do you feel comfortable
with that?

[Yvie] Mercedes has already
gotten critiques

two weeks in a row

about not giving
enough personality.

And if there's anything
that TV televangelists got,

it's like personality.

First off, we need
to pick a pop diva.

Who do you guys like,
super idolize?

I'm from the south,
so I was--I love Dolly.

[Ra'Jah] Okay.
-Patti LaBelle.

Diana Ross would be good.

Diana Ross is a hard one,

'cause you know that's Ru's
favorite, like, that's--

[Ra'Jah] Now, that's true.

So you want that risk?

I think
you've got to pick somebody

who's like a huge personality.

And who's, like,
you can be meme-able.

Whitney.

[Scarlet]
Whitney would be good, too.

If we pick with Whitney,
it kind of gets sensitive

only because
a lot of her moments

were situations where she,
you know,

was in a bad place in her life.

She wasn't in control.

[Ra'Jah] Right.

-Mariah.
-I was thinking Mariah, too.

-Mariah would be fun.
-Mariah would be easy.

Okay, so we're gonna go
with Mariah.

[Shuga] We tried
to settle on someone

that we all know
a little bit about.

We are thinking collectively

we'll have enough knowledge
on Mariah.

I want to be the non-believer.

[Ra'Jah] Okay.

I'll be the correspondent,
then, all right?

I'll probably do music ministry.

-You're a singer, girl.
-Yeah.

Is anyone else a singer
up in this joint?

I can sing.

Like that's really my gig.
I actually sing.

[Honey] Okay. And we can get,

like, a good old gospel,
like, squawk, honey.

I'm feeling like my position
in the competition

is very in the middle.

I don't want to be there.

A: I know I can hold a tune.

B: I'm a lyricist,

so this challenge
is my opportunity

to really show myself.

You seem to have the most
knowledge of her, right?

'Cause you're a superfan?

No, ma'am.

Oh, I thought
you were saying--

I love her, but I'm
the worst person at memory.

What is she known for?

She's known for singing,
she known for whistle tones.

Straight, long, middle part.
Well--

Well, that's like
visual effects,

but I mean like
actual effects, right? Like--

I mean, a middle part
is effects.

I don't know.
What else is Mariah's songs?

Honey, um...

Emotions.

Emotions.

♪ I get so emotional, baby ♪

[Scarlet] Yes.

Emancipation of Mimi.

[A'Keria]
That'll be the Bible.

Her Bible is
The Emancipation of Mimi?

It'll be
The Emancipation of Mimi.

I don't know.

That's one of her albums, yo.

Here's the thing.

I don't know a lot about Mariah,

and I'm kind of gagged

that nobody who's decided
that we was doing Mariah

knows anything, either.

We just gotta pull together
like what the facts are,

what everyone knows about her

and we just write them down.

Howdy-do, kitty girls.

Hey.

-What's up, girl?
-Halleloos.

Hello, Nina West team.

[all] Hi, Ru.

Do you have a name?

Well, we're the IBBN, which is--

What does that stand for?

It's Britney Bitch Network.

-Britney is the religion?
-Yeah, she is.

So, now, Nina West,
are you familiar

with the types of shows
on Christian Broadcasting?

When I was younger,
Tammy Faye was always on.

I just know when I go to sleep
and I leave the TV on,

and I wake up,
that stuff usually is playing.

Now, Ariel, last week,

you didn't captivate the judges.

I think I was more focused on,
like, oh, let me look good,

rather than creating
a character.

Listen, you got here.

Now you have to find a rhythm
in this moment right here.

This bitch is shaking her head,

'cause the same issue
with you, Brooke Lynn.

Finding that right rhythm.

And look, Mercedes
is shaking her head, too.

Everybody says
the exact same thing.

Oh, well, this time, oh, girl,
I'm gonna get up there,

I'm gonna be acting all--

and I know exactly what I'm
gonna do this time, Mr. Paul.

[all laugh]

You have to find
your own rhythm,

because you see all these other
bitches and they're fierce.

You think, oh, my God,
oh, how am I gonna do this?

Oh, this bitch, she got--
she's spangled her leotard.

Oh, my God, she got brought
all these wigs up in here.

And this ho up in here,

she's sucking
all the air out the room.

[all laugh]

And then you get
like really nervous.

Center yourself,
find your rhythm,

and do you.

Look, I've been
the number one bitch in the game

for 25 motherfucking years.

[cheers and applause]

Ain't another bitch come for me.

Why? Because I found
my own right rhythm.

Let the church say amen.

-Amen.
-That's right.

So I want to see a show.

Show me the Holy Spirit
in Britney's name.

It's Britney, bitch. Bye.

[cheers and applause]

Okay, that was
kind of perfect.

Look, that should be
enough inspiration

for us to fucking nail this.

Well, hello, Team Ra'Jah.

-Hey.
-Hi, Ru.

[RuPaul]
Okay, I'm dying to know

which diva
you've chosen to worship.

We chose Mariah Carey
as our diva.

♪ Ooh and you too... ♪

Was it a unanimous decision
to choose Mariah?

We went through
a bunch of divas,

and it was the one

we all collectively
knew about the most.

[RuPaul] Okay.

Do any of you belong
to the Mariah Carey fan club?

That's a no.
Because you know,

Mariah calls her fans her...
Anybody?

Her butterflies?

[RuPaul] No.

The Careys.

No. Okay.

-They're her lambs.
-Oh, nice.

Yeah, you bitches
ain't done no homework.

Oh, Jesus.

Yeah, if you don't know
what a lamb is,

how you gonna convert somebody
into a Mariah fan?

Someone's
gotta be an authority.

Is there an authority
in your group on Mariah Carey?

There go them crickets again.

What the fuck have you
been doing all this time?

I love the divas, and I know
everything about them.

That's what we're looking for.

We're looking for something

that's really gonna convert
a non-believer to Mariah-ism.

Oh, shit, I'm giving away
all my good lines.

We're kind of pulling all the--

We're just kind of pulling
from all of common knowledge--

Which is very little.

It's very little, isn't it?

Bring up your Mariah-isms,
okay?

So can't wait to see it.

Get to work.

-Thank you.
-All right. See ya.

Girl, was that completely
frightening for any of y'all?

[Ra'Jah] So how comfortable are
we really feeling with Mariah?

[Shuga] Because it don't seem
like we know a lot of fan.

It's not like--

[Shuga] It's getting
very confused right now.

Right.

[Scarlet]
I mean, I don't know.

I think we just stick
with what we have.

Okay. Let's stick
to the game plan.

We are not
the ultimate Mariah fans,

but we have a love for Mariah,

so I'm feeling confident
in my team.

Come on, Team Mariah.

Come on, lambs.

[Ross] Hello, ladies.

Or as Britney would say,
hi, y'all.

[all] Hi, y'all.

[Ross] Okay, so you are
trying to get everybody

to join the Church of Britney.

You must convert us
with your passion.

This is also live television,

so there's no take two.

There's no, oops,
and then you do it again.

[all laugh]

So let's get ready for Act 1.

[Yvie] We're about
to shoot our talk show,

and I'm just
a little bit worried

because we have
three of the girls

who were in the bottom
last week.

So I'm just hoping
they're going to use that

to light a fire under their ass

and really nail it out
this week.

Three, two...

Action.

Oh, hello, friends,

and welcome to IBBN,
It's Britney Bitch Network.

My name is Nina West,
your host today,

of the Gimme More Hour of Power
prayer session.

Welcome as we worship our deity,

the holy Britney Jean Spears.

With me today is my co-host

Miss Brooke Lynn Hytes.

Hey, Brooke Lynn.

I love Britney Spears.

Testify, sister.

When I was a young woman,
I felt like a genie in a bottle.

-Oh!
-And it was dirty.

Within.

But then Miss Britney Spears,

her spirit has come in me,
and it has filled me up.

That's filthy.

And she can come in you
and fill you up, too.

Hallelujah.

Why don't you tell
the good folks out there

how they can give back to
somebody who's given us so much.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have set up the Leave
Britney Alone Foundation.

Your offerings today

will help supply frappuccinos,
frothy and delicious.

Also, car seats
and safety belts.

We are doing the Lord's work
here, ladies and gentlemen.

So y'all stay tuned.

We'll be right back.

[Ross] Cut. All right.

We're out to commercial.

Good. Let's move on
for the conversion.

I feel like a proud sister.

Nina is setting the mood, baby,
and she's selling it to me.

Three, two, one, action.

Welcome back

to the Gimme More Hour of Power
prayer circle.

Right now, we are going
to have a live conversion.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome
to the IBBN stage,

Miss Vanjie.

Can I get a Britney?

-Britney!
-Thank you, sisters.

All right.

Now, I have randomly picked
two whores

that don't know shit
about Britney.

That they don't know
about Hit Me, Baby.

They don't know about
Oops, I did it.

They don't know about
the hair whipping.

They don't know
about Work, Bitch.

They don't know about Lucky.

They don't know about Sometimes.
They don't frappe drink.

They don't walk to the 7-Eleven
without shoes, Jesus.

Thank you, Britney.

-Amen.
-Amen.

Now, bring out
the chuggerheads, please.

In Britney's name.

Oh, y'all see
what I gotta work with?

But we shall get lucky.

What is your name and where
are you from, young lady?

My name is Yvie,

and I'm from, like, some
shithole in the Midwest.

Hmm. I will attempt live

one of my Britney Spears
rituals.

We taking it down to 2007.

I'm attempting
the Britney scalping.

-Oh, my God.
-Get this.

Get this hair.

In Britney's name!

-Oh!
-Yes!

Now, in Britney's name,
Stronger perfume.

Can I get a hit, y'all?

Oh, hit me, baby.

- Hit ya!
-Baby!

Yes!

Amazing, ladies and gentlemen.
We've done it.

Britney. It's a Britney!

You helped me
break the ice,

and I'm stronger than yesterday.

You can get her music available
on iTunes and everything else.

Thank you, Miss Vanjie.

I thanked myself.

And you, too, Britney.

I'm falling out of character

because there's one thing
about Vanessa.

When that bitch opens her mouth,
it's an amazing thing to watch.

Thank you, Miss Vanjie.

I just thanked myself.

Moving right along
to ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka.

My name is Mercedes,

and I am from
the jungles in Africa.

Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!

Have you ever heard
of Mrs. Spears?

What is spears?
What's Britney?

Where I'm from,
we only have spears.

Girl.

Oh, my God,
you have one job.

If it worked on sis,
it will work on this.

All right, Stronger by Britney.

-Come on, now.
-Aah!

Hit me, baby,
hit me, baby, hit me, baby.

-Yes!
-Oh!

And we got it. Yes!

Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.

Get that choreography.

Hit me, baby, one more time.

And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is Miss Vanjie.

Take it back, sisters.

-Thank you, sister.
-Why, hell.

-Holy Britney.
-Can you believe it?

I cannot believe it.

I'm so inspired
and on fire right now.

I know.

Next we have a musical guest

that is so good,
y'all might just black out.

Oh, that was good.

We'll see y'all in a minute.

Okay, we're at commercial.

I'm feeling like I wanna get up

and do a Vegas show
my fucking self.

[all laugh]

All right, ladies,
it's time for the final act.

[Ariel] Now is my opportunity
to really shine

and show people that Ariel
is number one, an entertainer.

Three, two, one, action.

Welcome back.

Now, we know some of you

might just be getting home
from work, bitch,

but we got one more
special segment just for you.

I'm thrilled to welcome
to the IBBN stage

Praise Britney.

Amen and cut.

[Vanjie] As a unit,
we broke through,

'cause even Beyoncé and Kelly
gotta pull Michelle.

So we did that.

Now, you probably
can't air that,

but if I gotta rephrase it,
I will.

Collectively,
we slayed the challenge.

-Thank you.
-[Ross] Bye, ladies.

That's Britney, bitch.

It's time for us to shoot
our she-vangelical TV show.

Hey, hey, hi.

This is live with one take.

[Ra'Jah] Baby, we
are praising Mariah.

We're about to convert
these sheeps into these lambs.

All right, we're live
in three, two...action.

Welcome, my little lambs,

to When You Believe,

the Church of Mariah Carey.

[Shuga Cain] Oh, yes,
my little lambs.

This hour,
we will worship and praise

the Emancipation of Mimi,
darling.

Can I get an amen?

Amen!

Now, I think
we need to start out

with a little prayer.
[clears throat]

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here today

in the name of love.

And though we may walk
through the valley

of technical difficulties

and false whistle tones,
honey...

Whoo.

We are here
in the name of Mariah.

Can I get an amen?

Amen!

[laughs]

Girl, what's going on here?

Now, Minister Shuga,
nothing happens for free.

No, ma'am.

And for the low, low, low,
low, low price of 49.99,

you, too, can make it happen

with this beautiful
butterfly here.

[Shuga] It is not just
any butterfly, honey.

It is a miracle butterfly.

So make sure you dial
1-800-MARIAH

for the miracle, darling.

Ooh, yes.

But speaking heroes,
you did say heroes, honey.

We have a sister in Mariah,

Miss Plastique Tiara, honey.

Ooh, girl.

You are not gonna want
to miss this girl.

I hear there is a non-believer
in our house.

[gasps]

Viewers, stick around.

Stick around.

[Ross] Okay.

Now don't go you making
like an ex-fiancé.

You better stick around
with us.

We'll be right back

with Sister Plastique
and a live conversion.

Whoo.

And we're in commercial.

Girl.

[sighs]

Let's move on
to the conversion segment.

Ooh.

In three, two, one, action.

Now, welcome on back, y'all,

to When You Believe,
the Church of Mariah Carey.

Now, not everything
has to be live, Miss Shuga.

That is true, honey.

Especially vocals.

But we have something
incredibly live today,

and I am so happy
to introduce Sister Plastique

and a very, very live
conversion.

Right before
our very eyes, Shuga.

Oh, hello darlings.

My name is Plastique Tiara
of the Mariah-ism,

and today me and my girls,
Morocco and Monroe,

are so happy to have found
a long lost lamb

passed out on the sidewalk

[deep voice]
of an Ariana Grande

[normal voice]
One Last Time fellowship.

Girl, fish turned into a demon.

Everybody please welcome

A'Keria Dupree Davenport
O'Hara Brown.

Hello, sweetie.
How are you doing today?

I've been set up.

Oh, God, I've been--
oh, don't.

Oh, you got bugs on you, bitch.

Oh! Nick Cannon.

Oh, my God.

[Plastique] Oh, my God.

The power of Ariana Grande
is you.

The power
of Ariana Grande is you.

[deep voice]
Ariana Grande.

That's not a good choice.

Thank God she pretty, though.

Sweetie, you are here to be
converted into one our lambs.

Never gonna happen.
I tried to give her a chance.

About five years ago,
I watched that movie Sparkle

that she starred in.

We love Sparkle.

Sparkle?

Why don't we love Sparkle?

That movie didn't go
no further than her marriage.

And then I tried to give her
a second chance

and she didn't even sing live.

Oh, sweetie, oh, sweetie,
it was--

[deep voice]
it was a microphone problem.

Liar Carey.

[Plastique] Don't worry.

Ariana.

Because when you look
into my eyes,

you will feel...

[deep voice]
you will feel...

[high pitched]
So aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!

Ariana. Ariana.

Ariana. Ariana.
[Plastique screeching]

Ariana. Ariana.

-Mariah.
-Yes.

-Mariah!
-Yes!

Aah!

And how--that is how
we belong together.

Now back to you, Scarlet.

Ooh.

[Shuga] Oh, my Lord.

I tell you--

What are you telling?

I used to be
a non-believer, honey,

but that just shows
in live television,

the power that is Mariah, honey.

Get ready, because we've got
more treats up for you today

here on The Church
of Mariah, honey.

We will be back.

Oh, girl.

And we're at commercial break.

Next up, the music segment.
Let's set up.

I know we are a little bit
more struggle-butts

than I really wanted us to be,

but, girl, me and Honey is
about to turn the party, girl.

Now, welcome on back,
our little lambs.

Miss Shuga,
I think it's time to sing.

Oh, honey, what better way
to express the Mariah-ism

than through the gospel
of music, honey?

We have our very own
Sister Honey and Sister Ra'Jah.

That's right,
don't you forget about us.

Ha ha. Now...

This is her glitter,

which she has boxed
off this crash for us.

[all laugh]

Not only was it just
an emancipation, Lord,

I just want
to let you lambs know,

ain't nothing too deep
for this glitter can't help.

This glitter can power for--
it can power through anything.

Anything.

Miss Honey, I think we ought
to sing these people a song.

In just a minute, because
I need to let y'all know

-before we sing this song--
-But you--

That love do take time,

but you, too, can join
into Camp Mariah, honey.

And if you do,
she will be your music boxer.

Now, can I get
a $28 million contract?

Oh, where is my Tommy Mottola?

Where is my Tommy Mottola?

My parting bit of advice to you.

Bring it on the runway.

Thank you.

Overall,
I think our team is, um...

Headed to the gate.

And it ain't of heaven.

Girl, the church scene
is over.

It's time for the runway.

Today is elimination day.

I'm just not feeling confident

about my team's challenge
yesterday.

I'm like in my feelings today
about the whole thing.

Why?

Like, I'm going over,
like, our little hiccup.

I'm going over
the little musical hiccup.

[Honey]
Some of my team is nervous,

which kind of makes me nervous.

'Cause I thought I did,
like, out of the park job.

Or am I having,
like, a Milk moment?

Where I thought
I really slayed it,

but on the camera, no.

The only thing we can do
is bring it to the runway.

-All right?
-Bring it to the runway.

-Hi, Papi.
-Hi.

How are you?

Good.

What's going on?

I've been noticing
Brooke and Vanjie

with this little
cuddle buddy type stuff, girl.

[Brooke] You were so good
yesterday.

I was feeling the spirit,
the Holy Ghost.

Mmm-mmm.

[Brooke] It was so good.
-Thank you.

It might be something beautiful
blossoms from this workroom.

Mm-hmm.

Bitch, what was your jush
in the thing?

♪ Li-li-li-li ♪

Yeah. 'Cause you guys
went to Wakanda for that.

Oh, girl, I sure did.

Well, that's good, because,

you know, I've never
been to a church,

so it was like a good idea,
like, you know--

-You've never been to church?
-No.

A church
or church in general?

-Church in general.
-She's a Muslim.

-So it was just like--
-She what?

Muslims--I thought that
Muslims go to church.

Y'all go to mausoleums?

No, mosques.

Ain't that like church,
though?

But, I mean, church to me
is just a building.

In your culture,
how do y'all worship Allah?

I think that's what
you're trying to say.

Is that what you worship?

How do you worship Allah?

Who the hell's Allah?

Come back here, girl.
We ain't--

I gotta get ready, girl.
I gotta get ready.

Oh, Lord, she exits
stage left, y'all.

[Vanjie] Mercedes' religion
has been brought up

that she's Muslim,

and miss just ran up, like,

girl, what--why--what--
you can talk with us.

We your sisters.
What's up?

I just--I just prefer not to
talk about it, religion at all.

It's just something personal.

I don't know.
I just...

Can we talk
about something else?

Do y'all mind if I leave you
an encouraging word?

Absolutely, girl.
What you gonna say?

Okay, we gonna get
an encouraging word, okay,

'cause some of y'all need Jesus.

Okay, if you got faith

that you ain't gonna be
in the bottom,

let me hear you say yeah.

[all] Yeah!

If you got faith
you gonna be at the top,

let me hear you say,
oh, yeah.

[all] Oh, yeah.

♪ Whoo ♪

Girl.

See, that's crazy,
'cause I'm Catholic,

and when we go to church,
you can't talk,

you can't breathe,
you can't do shit.

In a black church,
you sit, you be quiet.

But when they tell you
to do something, like, sing--

So how the fuck
did you manage?

[all laugh]

[Yvie] For my look today, I have
to paint my entire body

from the top of my head
to the bottom of my toenails.

All right, time to get for real
for real about it.

[Brooke Lynn]
Oh, there's a dick.

[Vanjie] Yvie, baby,
I just see her anteater out.

Whoo!
Somebody order sausage?

I'm feeling
my Alaska realness.

[laughs]

Girl, Miss Yvie,
her meat is hanging out

and she is painting it pink,

as if she is the only person
in the room.

It's about to get
super explicit.

Girl, I hope you're
throwing them sponges away,

pink eye or something, bitch.

This week,
we challenged my girls

to raise the roof in their own
diva-worship TV shows.

And tonight on the runway,

get ready to binge,
because category is fringe.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win.

♪ We got a mighty love ♪

[RuPaul]
First up, Honey Davenport.

[Michelle]
Oh, my VHS exploded!

[RuPaul laughs]

[Honey] My fringe is inspired

by Lady Gaga's
Angel Down costume.

This runway is important
because it represents

all the love
I've lost to gun violence.

[Ross]
But why it gotta be black?

[Michelle] Always.

[RuPaul] Scarlet Envy.

[Ross]
Now why it gotta be white?

[Scarlet] The gloves,
the matching corset,

and of course,
my long-ass fingernails

are next level fringe.

I'm feeling incredible.

[Ross] You Betty White.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Shuga Cain.

[Ross] We call her
Dances With Drag Queens.

[all laugh]

[Shuga] I wanted to give a nod
to my native heritage.

Apache-inspired tribal paint,

the fringe, the feathers,
and all the glamour.

[RuPaul] Do you know the way
to Santa Fe?

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Plastique Tiara.

[Michelle] Silver fox...trot.

[Plastique]
My fringe is very high drag,

very glamorous, sparkly,
and I'm giving a full-on pony.

[RuPaul]
You know, that ponytail

reminds me of...
[deep voice] Ariana Grande.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] A'Keria C. Davenport.

[Michelle]
Now I know what to do

with my menorah after Hanukkah.

[A'Keria] Ladies, gents,
your queen has just arrived,

and I'm giving you
straight goddess,

the goddess of love, body,
and beauty, baby.

[RuPaul] Cleopatra who?

Meet you at P.F. Chang's.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Ra'Jah O'Hara.

[Ross] Now, those are what
I call ruby slippers.

[Ra'Jah]
Red fringe from head to toe.

Giving you major red tease

with my favorite
get-'em girl boots.

'Cause when I step down
this runway,

you are most definitely
gonna have to eat it.

[Ross] There's no place
like homo.

[RuPaul] Nina West.

Michelle, what is mopping?

[Michelle] Mopping is,
well, what Nina's wearing.

[Nina] I'm wearing
this great mushroom headpiece

that's giving me
some fringe hair.

It's fun.
It's fanciful.

I'm really bopping down.

I'm really feeling confident
in this look.

[RuPaul] This really is
RuPaul's Best Fringe Race.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Brooke Lynn Hytes.

[Ross] I'll just say it.
She's looking a little hippy.

[Brooke] I am giving you
Coachella meets Woodstock.

Daisy chain fringe...
♪ Fantasy ♪

I look like
a beautiful flower child

floating down the runway.

[RuPaul]
She's giving me fever.

Hay fever.
[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

It's Cher-o.

[Vanjie] I'm inspired
by Cher's Bob Mackie,

but I'm doing a Latino version
from the hood.

I'm hitting my hips
to the side Shakira style.

Shout out to her, J-Lo, Cher,

all those rolling
and encompassed into one.

[Ross] I love that wig.
I wonder if she'd Cher it.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Yvie Oddly.

Who ordered the calamari?

[all laugh]

[Yvie] I am serving you

straight up
jelly fringe couture.

I usually attack my drag
from a conceptual platform.

My drag's about going

where other people
won't even think of going.

I'm here to like sting you,
bitch.

[Michelle] Ow! She stung me!

Can someone pee on me?

[all laugh]

[RuPaul]
Mercedes Iman Diamond.

[Ross]
We are fringe with benefits.

[RuPaul] Yes.

[Mercedes] My fringe look
is like military,

you know, the camo flash.

I feel good.
I feel sexy.

And I am gonna make sure

that I'm looking the judges
right in their eye,

like, oh, I know you like it.

[RuPaul] There's always one

that ends up with
a lampshade on her head.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Ariel Versace.

Hey, this is fringe
Jersey style.

[Ariel] I didn't really do
like a classic fringe,

'cause, you know, I'm not like
that classic drag kind of girl.

So this is Ariel's version
of fringe, and I love it.

Holographic fringe
paiute realness.

[RuPaul]
I know she's in Jersey,

but my guess is Asbury Park.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Silky Nutmeg Ganache
with extra whip.

[Ross] It is Bob Mackie's
Cookie Monster collection.

[all laugh]

[Silky] Bitch, I made
this costume myself.

It has over 80 yards
of fringe on it.

And I am feeling my fantasy.

The party
is all the way turned.

[Michelle]
Ru, how blue is her bayou?

[RuPaul]
That's a good question.

[Ross] I'm sorry,
that one "blue" right by me.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Welcome, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

It's Britney Bitch Network,

you are the winning team.

[cheers and applause]

[Nina] Thank you.

Good job team.

And one of you
really touched a piece of me.

[laughs]

Nina West, con-drag-ulations.

You are the winner
of this weeks' challenge.

Holy shit.
I just...I just won?

This is exactly
what I came here to do,

and I'm spraying my scent
on the competition.

You've won a $3.500 gift card

from ISLYNYC
jewelry and accessories.

Yes!
[applause]

Vanjie, Ariel,

good work this week.

[applause]

Team IBBN, you're all safe

and you may leave the stage.

Ladies, you are all up
for elimination.

It's time for
the judges' critiques,

starting with Scarlet Envy.

I loved this glam.

I think that you hair and makeup
look absolutely stunning.

[Guillermo]
As far as the challenge,

I wish you guys would have paid
a little bit more homage

to Mariah Carey.

I kept thinking, wait,
who are they talking about?

Sort of put the pacing
of the whole scene on you

because you were the host.

You had the role that Nina had
in the other group,

and she really
kind of kept things moving.

And it felt to me like
the group as a whole

felt a little like panicked.

[RuPaul] In fact, when I visited
you all backstage,

I got the sense that you guys
didn't know a lot about Mariah.

I sort of lent you
some of my knowledge of Mariah,

and you seemed
to have used all of it.

I was afraid that might happen.

All right, Shuga Cain.

The look tonight, I love that
you are showing who you are.

Moi, Shuga Cain,
yo soy Cubano.

I loved that you are Apache
and Latina. It's so unique.

[Troye]
As far as the challenge goes,

what I said to Scarlet,
same note to you.

I think that the host
really could have

picked up the pace
of the whole scene.

Yeah, on Scandal,
we have this thing.

When we do a scene,
they would say

you guys
have to Scandal pace it.

And if that pace is there.

it always
makes the scene better.

And I feel like that pace,
especially for the two hosts,

was kind of missing.

Plastique Tiara.

You had such a crucial part.

You were serving
a live conversion,

and you were taking
some big swings

with the [deep voice]
Ariana Grande voice,

but it didn't work.

I don't know that you had
like a real love for Mariah.

I only found out
about pop culture

about like three years ago.

[Ross] Really?

Yeah.

Did they not know
no Mariah in Vietnam?

No, girl. I came over
when I was 11,

but I found out about Beyoncé
legit four years ago.

[RuPaul] This is where

you all could have
worked together as a group

to educate each other.

But also,
you guys got to choose

who you wanted to worship.

Was there anybody else
that you thought, oh,

maybe we should do
Madonna, Gaga,

Cher, and J-lo...

Latoya.

We all agree that
we can get more material

for Mariah,
but like I said,

I'm not really big
into the pop culture.

[RuPaul] A'Keria C. Davenport.

In my notes, I wrote down
"chandelieria, love."

It kind of reminds me of like
a couture Carol Burnett,

you know, Bob Mackie costume.

It's really unique.

Tonight you just look
like out of this word stunning.

This is like exactly
what I was hoping to see

when I was told
that I was coming to Drag Race.

Thank you.

I actually didn't hate
your performance.

[Ross] But there was not
enough set-up for me.

Why is she touching
the earring? Oh, they're As.

Oh, Ariana. Okay.

I was having to figure it out.

I just wish you would have

really explained
everything better,

'cause I don't want
to do the work

All right, up next,
Honey Davenport.

I loved your interpretation
of fringe.

I want to like wear it

to brunch or something
like that, really bad.

[laughs]

[Troye] But as far
as the challenge goes,

you two at the end,
musically...

it was interesting.

I don't know if you were like

trying to figure out your
harmonies or what was going on.

Everyone knows these women.

Take us to church.

But for me, it fell flat.

To be honest,
in these last two weeks,

I don't know why
I have been like so in here

and not projecting out there.

But, Honey--
and this goes for everyone--

look at these divas
that we're worshipping.

Even they have human moments.

But when the light's on,
we don't know about it.

Well, New Year's Eve
when Mariah Carey--

How dare you bring that up.
How dare you bring that up.

[laughs]
Up next, Ra'Jah O'Hara.

You know what
I'm going to say about tonight.

Listen, guys,
you're drag queens.

I know that a leotard
is going to happen a few times,

but let's take a look at Shuga

and how she made it
not so obvious.

And when you're standing
next to these chicks,

it's hard for you
not to get watered down.

Do you know what I'm saying?

I do.

In the challenge,
compared to Honey,

you were a little better.

But it was very clear

which team
was on the bottom this week.

The job was to be funny

and convert us
to the church of Mariah.

But the teamwork wasn't there.
It wasn't clicking.

I was a little bummed out

to see you guys
not have a clear vision.

[RuPaul] Yeah, because
we're actually trying to see

if you girls have what it takes
to run a show.

But I have three words
for all of you girls

in terms of this challenge:

stink, stank, stunk.

I'd like to know
from each of you

who's responsible?

I'll take responsibility.

If I would have
suggested somebody

that I could have
really conveyed,

we would have done
a little better.

So you're blaming yourself?

I'm definitely
taking responsibility

for my flaws in the challenge,

and I know that mine
was definitely a big part of it.

I want to say as a whole
we all dropped the ball.

Scarlet, who do you think
is responsible for this?

Well, I agree with my sisters.

As a team, we--I don't want
to single anyone out.

I mean, I myself
flubbed a few puns

that I had written down.

What about you, Shuga?

-I really do feel the same.
-The same what?

I feel like
we all dropped the ball.

What about you, Plastique?

I pretty much agree.

We all reached a group consensus

of what celebrities
that we're gonna do.

I came in
with the least knowledge,

so I was the weak link
of the group.

The least knowledge, but you
know what this competition is.

You know what
is expected of you.

The truth is
if you don't know,

you better ask somebody.

What about you, Ra'Jah?

Doing Mariah, it wasn't
something that I just threw out.

But I feel like maybe

if would have just
took a little bit more time

to figure out a diva
that we all knew

a little bit more about,

that we could actually
embody the essence

of that entertainer.

All right. Ladies,
while you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

All right. Just between
us squirrel friends,

what do you think,
starting with Scarlet Envy?

In the challenge,
it didn't work for me.

I wasn't drawn
into the character.

[Troye] She didn't
carry the scene

like I think she could have.

[Michelle] I was really let down
by Scarlet this week

because she did so great
last week.

It was literally
the same character

only in
the church lady's costume.

All right, let's move on
the Shuga Cain.

As a host,
she fell flat for me.

I can't think of one
like positive thing

about the challenge for her.

I did appreciate--

she was going
for that Jan Crouch thing.

[Ross]
I thought she was actually

the best in this group.

I mean, that's not saying much.
This group was not great.

But when you're on
a sinking ship,

honey, you're like me
on a first date.

You're still going down.

[laughs]

[RuPaul] Let's move on
to Plastique Tiara.

[Michelle] Her look out of
everybody excited me the most.

I was like, oh,
she's gonna nail this.

And then it literally
went nowhere.

She did really well in
the acting challenge last week.

She created a character,
and it worked.

This week it was just
sort of a mess for me.

[RuPaul]
A'Keria Chanel Davenport.

I think she was
near the bottom for me,

because the whole piece
rested on the conversion.

We needed her to come out
on that stage a non-believer,

and then be a born-again
Mariah believer.

And the scene didn't work.

And worshipping Ariana Grande.
If you're gonna do that,

then come out
in a gray ponytail.

[Troye] I completely agree
about the ponytail.

If you're gonna be
an Ariana stan,

that didn't come across to me.

She could have come out
licking a doughnut.

[Troye] She could have--yeah.

-Hilarious, Michelle.
-Yeah.

All right, Honey Davenport.

In the sketch, for me,

Honey and Ra'Jah
sort of were a package.

My critiques for both of them
are pretty much the same

in that it just didn't work.

It just didn't gel.

Then they started singing,

and it was literally like
please just stop, guys.

[laughs]

And they're not even
improv-ing that much,

because they had already
put together the song.

Allegedly.

-[laughs]
-Allegedly.

They weren't coming up
on the fly

with what they were gonna say.

They had it prepared.

You gotta work hard
to mess that up.

[RuPaul] Ra'Jah O'Hara.

On the runway tonight,
we just have seen it.

It's average.

[Michelle] This isn't a bar.

You would wear that at a bar.

This is RuPaul's Drag Race
main stage.

Michelle, if this isn't a bar,

why do you come to work
drunk every day?

[all laugh]

[slurring]
Good question.

[Guillermo]
Again, like Troye said,

I feel like her and Honey,

I have the same issues
with them.

It didn't work.

Yeah, I just can't get over
the fact that they chose Mariah.

As a team effort,
they didn't help one another.

And listen, when I asked them
who to blame,

they pretty much across
the board said all of them.

But you know what?
They're probably right.

I agree.

All right. Silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Y'all need
to step your pussy up.

For the first time
in Drag Race herstory...

All of you will be
lip syncing for your life.

Oh, my God.

[Scarlet] Holy shit.

I can't breathe.

[Vanjie] Oh, mama is mad,

and all six of y'all
have to pay.

Face...child.

[RuPaul] Six queens
stand before me.

Ladies...

this is your last chance
to impress me

and save yourself
from elimination.

The time has come...
[thunder]

to lip sync...

[echoing] for your life!

[A'Keria] At this point,

I don't know if she's gonna
send three of us home

or if she's gonna
send two home.

My mind is blank.

[Scarlet]
How do I use this stage

without hitting these bitches
in the face?

[Ra'Jah]
If I gotta cut a bitch off,

a bitch is getting cut
right here.

That Tonya Harding moment.

Good luck...

and don't fuck it up.

Thank you.

Honey, I'm sorry, my dear,

but this is not your time.

Now sashay away.

I wish I could have
shown you more of myself

from the moment
I walked into the gate,

but I thank you
for the opportunity to do so.

Thank you so much.
This is my dream.

[applause]

We love you!

[Nina] Love you, Honey.

Don't ever let your insecurities

come between you
and your dreams.

Thank you, Ru.

[sobs]

This...this hurts.

But sometimes you fail,
and that's okay.

This is just one step
along my journey.

I am not done.
I'm not done.

[RuPaul]
Con-drag-ulations, ladies.

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?

Amen!

All right.
Now let the music play.

[RuPaul] Next time
on RuPaul's Drag Race...

You'll be performing
in the lip sync extravaganza

Trump The Rusical.

Seven, eight, up, and down.

I'm really gonna bomb
this challenge.

Drop, open.

Oops, that was--I'm sorry.

Imagine doing this
and lip syncing. Good luck.

Please don't slap
that man, Miss Raj.

You look ama-zing.

You're a great performer.

You just sort of disappeared.

[Ra'Jah] Everything that
you know about Drag Race

is thrown out the window.
