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

Welcome to week two of "Drag Queens Got Talent."

- Joy and Beauty are what I call my legs,

and I'll be happy to spread them.

Where are the jokes?

Lexi Love, Crystal Envy...

you have been rated the top two queens of the week.

Lexi Love, condragulations.

You're a winner, baby.

Hormona Lisa, you have been rated

the bottom queen of the week.

That means you and Acacia Forgot

are up for elimination.

Acacia Forgot, shantay, you stay.

Hormona Lisa, I'm giving you

one last chance

to Badonka Dunk your way back into the competition.

Whoo-hoo!

Condragulations.

You are free to slay another day, Hormona Lisa.

Oh, my gosh, I just saved myself

from being the pork chop.

Whoo-hoo!

I pulled the correct lever on the Badonka Dunk tank.

Sorry, Michelle.

- At this point, all you can do is laugh.

Hormona's still here.

Oh, brother.

- The Badonka Dunk is in the building.

How do you feel? - I feel good.

It's like I'm getting a second chance.

- I don't know if there's going to be a third, though.

Oh!

You said it, not me.

- I've seen your face the whole time.

I know you're not happy I'm still here.

- I would love for the competition to dwindle.

Yes, I would. I would. - Okay.

I do not think that Kori King and I will be best friends.

However, I'm not worried about her

and her bumpy zippers.

- So are you excited for Vegas? - Yes, I am. I can't wait.

- And her bags are already packed,

so she's already ready to go.

I won the lip sync, and Hormona's going to Vegas.

I don't see how that's fair.

- Congratulations to our top two.

And congratulations to Lexi on your win.

So deserved.

- Thank you for the validation. I need it.

This means everything to me.

I've always wanted to be, like, somebody winning awards,

a superstar.

So I won an award! Oh, my God.

- What do you guys think about the Rate-A-Queen this week,

and your placements? Anybody...

- I am low-key surprised at the placements.

Well, I know in "Untucked,"

someone mentioned that my song was not as good

as they would have liked.

- Who's that? - Joella.

- Did you enjoy the talent show?

- I had fun, but I was underwhelmed.

Mm.

- Okay, so who did you not like?

We're big girls, we can take it.

- Lana. - You didn't like my talent?

- You're a very talented performer,

but I felt like your song was very one-note.

- Last week when we went into "Untucked,"

our group, we made sure we gave you your flowers.

And for the first thing for you to say to me when I got

into "Untucked" was how not good my song was,

it seemed a little backhanded.

- I'm sorry that I came off a certain way.

However, I mean, in Rate-A-Queen, I was fair.

- Did you have to hold your wig up in Rate-A-Queen, too,

or was it, like, attached?

Oh!

- It would have been glued if I had to lip-sync like you.

Oh!

- And I would have, you know, moved a little bit more.

- With your uneven hems, with your tag sticking out

because it's off the rack-- I get it.

- Oh. - Oh.

It was not off the rack, baby.

Bitch, you talking about my drag--that's kind of crazy.

Fix your mug.

I don't think the bottom bitch, who was about to be sent home,

should be telling me about my drag.

- And on that note, let's get out of drag, ladies.

- Hormona is playing some games.

She's very nice.

However, she's also very manipulative.

Calling my drag, like, off the rack--bitch, please.

She was literally sent home today.

I hope to God I'm in the bottom with her one week.

If she can't beat you, bitch,

what is she going to do against me?

What--

Okay, wait. Wait a second.

- I wiped a droplet of sweat from my forehead,

and now I have to pick it back up...

- Mm-hmm. - And put it in my forehead.

- I do think all the queens are disappointed

that there's still that "first person going home" spot.

So one of these girls will become this season's pork chop,

and it's not going to be me.

- What's the tea? What's the chisme?

- Just would like to see it dwindle, that's all.

- Oh, okay. That's what it is?

That's what it is.

I'm sorry, but Hormona completely deserved to go home.

Chuck it in the bucket.

The winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race"

receives a one-year supply

of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics

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

courtesy of TodayTix, the theater ticket app.

With extra-special guest judge Sandra Bernhard.

It's a brand-new day.

Move, baby.

- It is another new day in the Werk Room.

The sun is shining,

and I still see Hormona Lisa sitting there.

Wow, we're all here.

- Do we think we're voting again this week?

- No! - Ah!

Oh, my God.

- In the name of me, Kori Andre Charles, no.

- I feel like the judging in Rate-A-Queen

was a little skewed because cliques are forming.

This week energies are shifting a little bit,

friendships are forming,

and so I'm excited to see how that affects the game.

I'm realizing now that I have two games to play--

one in the Werk Room with these girls,

and another one with these judges,

and I have to win them both.

- The game has started. - The game.

Hello, hello, hello.

Hi.

Oh, my gosh, you're so cute.

Good morning, ladykins.

Good morning, Ru.

- Now, if you want to be America's next drag superstar,

you need to play this game

like you're the number-one boss lady of the boulevard.

- Okay. - Whoa.

Oh, Pit Crew.

- Well, it looks like Mr. Monopoly

done lost his pants.

- Oh, thank God. - Thank God.

- For 90 years, Monopoly has brought people together

to feel that rich-bitch fantasy.

For this week's Maxi Challenge,

you need to take fashion inspiration

from this iconic board game and bring it to the runway.

- Oh! - I'm gagging.

Bitch.

- Now, queens, I want you to reach

into the Pit Crew's Community Chest

and pick a card until each of you has a property deed.

- Already, honey, if you have ever played

a game of Monopoly,

you know the properties are different colors

for different sides of the road.

I just hope I win big.

- All right, up first, hey, hey, Joella.

Hello.

Ooh, let's see what I'm gonna own today.

Ooh, I got Pacific Avenue.

That means you've won $300.

- Oh! - Oh!

Thank you, Mama Ru.

- No, thank Monopoly, bitch. - Thank you, Monopoly.

Up next...

Suzie Toot, come on over.

All right, pick a card.

I got Kentucky Avenue.

- And that means you've won $220.

Okay, I'll take it.

Lana Ja'Rae.

Boardwalk.

- For $400. - Wow.

The Boardwalk card

is the most expensive card in Monopoly.

Very opulent, if I say so myself.

- Kori King. - Ventnor Avenue.

North Carolina Avenue.

I got Marvin Gardens.

- Ooh! "Hey, kitty girl.

Steal a property from another player."

- Ooh. - That's right.

You can take someone else's property and their money.

Hmm.

I have a chance to steal someone's card.

We love that.

I'm sorry, Ms. Lana.

You got the most money, and I like some coin.

- Crystal Envy is stealing Boardwalk.

I'm so sorry.

- Lana, you'll choose again later.

Hormona Lisa.

- Wow! We got Tennessee Avenue.

- Now, you are from Tennessee. - I am.

This is the funnest game of Monopoly I've ever played.

- New York Avenue. - New York Avenue.

- Park Place. - Ooh!

- People are still in. - They're going to jail.

Go to jail.

Oh!

Not prison, honey.

People are passing Go.

Collect $200.

Pennsylvania Avenue.

St. James Place.

For $180.

- Now, who the hell's St. James?

- Lana. - Yes.

We're back to you.

You lost a turn, so you get to come over

and choose another card.

- "Is the railroad still running?

Steal $200 from another player."

Oh, I wonder who I'm going to steal from.

Oh!

Crystal.

Turnaround is what?

Fair play. - And the bus is still running.

- And you just threw her under the bus.

- Right, and I'll keep going. I'm, like, go back.

You know, I guess payback is a bitch.

You get to pull another card.

Illinois Avenue.

- Acacia, the bail bondsman has come.

Atlantic Avenue.

You get an opportunity

to rebuild your life on the outside.

- I will build it, and he will come.

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

you need to create, from scratch, an outfit

that screams "Monopulence."

You own everything.

- Yes. - Everything.

- Now, you can use the materials provided,

plus your own hair and undergarments.

But, queens, this is not a team challenge,

so you better play to win.

Stitch rich, bitch.

- I have found myself placed between Arrietty and Lana,

the two fiercest look queens.

We are looking at a table of materials

that will affect our fate in this challenge.

I am feeling the pressure,

because the pork chop queen is still among us,

and none of us know who it is.

- This week's Maxi Challenge is "Monopulence"...

A Monopoly-based design challenge

created to serve opulence.

Ooh, I love this.

Love this mesh.

I love the color green,

but I'm going against two other bitches

that got the same color, so I'm a little nervous.

Oh, that's kind of fun.

What are we giving?

Okay.

Now that I see what materials we have to work with...

ugh.

Arriba!

- I'm used to working with unconventional materials--

foam, paper, cardboard.

None of that is here.

I just don't use pretty fabrics.

- I think I do want to give 1920s.

Oh, really?

- I want to do, like, a structured,

like, spray-painted finger wave out of duct tape.

Let's do what we know first.

- These are the only options we got?

- I think these might be the options.

Yeah.

This fur is giving--

- This don't give me no opulence, girl.

I'm not using the fur.

The fur's not giving opulent-- it's giving cheap.

Mama, that's Elmo down.

Girl, Elmo bouge.

Elmo couture.

I am petrified.

I am not a seamstress,

and it would be real cute to send home the girl

who just won a challenge two weeks ago.

I think I have a vision. I have a plan.

I see the vision.

- We come from two families that sew...

Right.

- And also have a great eye for opulent drag.

- We have taste. - Period.

- You know, that's hard to come by these days.

- A lot of these girls don't have that.

So I think me being a pageant girl does help me

in this type of challenge, because I know what opulence

and what expensive looks like, and I'm ready to execute that.

I'm definitely going to do a floor-length gown.

- That's what I'm thinking. - Yeah.

- So what are my sisters over here planning on doing?

Hi, girly pop.

- We're planning on beating all you.

- Yeah. - Oh.

Okay. - What color are you?

Green? - Green, yeah.

The color of money and the color of success

and the color of winning. - And also boogers.

- Oh! Well, this looks very ambitious.

- This is our time to shine. - Yeah.

- I'm not gonna play it safe. - Not gonna play it safe, yeah.

We'll see who makes a bodysuit. - Ooh.

Right.

We'll see.

I am feeling in my element right now.

Turning looks is my thing,

and I'm really, really excited for this.

However, I am a little concerned

for my Green Team sister, Joella.

Let me ask you girls, do any of you green girlies sew?

No.

- You don't sew, bitch? It gags me.

- You know, there's a lot of non-sewers that do make it

past the sewing challenge, so...

Well, not many.

- Listen, I may not sew, I may not style hair,

but I'm a fierce drag queen,

as Alyssa Edwards would say.

- What are you thinking, like, right off the bat?

- Just trying to get my ideas already.

- You can keep it under wraps, but I love to talk about looks.

- I try to keep it simple, to be honest.

I am known for a short dress,

so that's what I'm going to give them.

There is definitely going to be a couple bitches

that will do worse than me,

so I will do what I need

to scoot on by.

There's going to be the one girl

that bites off a little more than she can chew.

Mm-hmm.

- And it's definitely going to bite her right on the ass.

I see.

- So I get my ideas from fashion shows.

The--

Oh, my God, I think I have the best idea ever.

Uh-huh.

- And then I see the bolt roll.

And I saw this fashion show

where the model took the bolt roll, turned around,

threw it behind her.

She walked out and, like, threw the bolt,

and then it just drug.

Ooh, honey girl.

- Bitch, that's what I'm doing. - Oh, wow.

- So it's real dramatic. - I love that.

- I am coming up with this on the fly.

If I toss it behind me in the back of the runway,

I just hope it unrolls.

Oh, I'm so excited!

- I feel like this is just in my wheelhouse.

I love putting outfits together.

Coming in here, I'm expecting to win

all the sewing challenges, so let's do it.

Let's start with this.

This dress has a lot of ruching in it,

and then I found the perfect green rhinestone trim

to accentuate the ruching that I'm doing.

Let's see what the fuck is going to happen here tonight.

My first step-- ruche the full dress.

Ruching takes a long time, so it's going to be a lot of work.

I take some elastic, my fabric, and ruche...

And ruche and ruche and ruche...

and ruche and ruche.

And, no, we're not done ruching,

because we still have some ruching to do.

The ruching worked.

It's gonna be sickening, bitch.

- Did Trinity teach you at all, sewing,

Or did you just kind of learn yourself?

I had always sewn.

My grandmother was the person who taught me

how to sew for the first time.

When I was around six or seven years old,

you know, I was definitely a little gay boy

who didn't want to go outside and play in the dirt.

So I would stick inside and hang out with my nana,

and I can't wait to show off my skills.

Arrietty, how you feel?

Fashion girl. - Fashion diva.

I'm gonna look sickening. I don't know about y'all.

So, sorry. - Oh, she's the fashion girl.

I'm very excited.

I get to showcase something that I'm actually good at.

And I'm like, ooh, these girls have no idea.

What is your plan?

Is it going to have the alien vibe?

- No, no, it's going to be more...

demure.

For this design, I'm going more towards the Latina side.

Red screams Latina to me.

Escándalo.

- Arrietty, I'm trying to come for your gig.

I want to be the fashion girly of the week.

- The top two, come on. - Okay.

- There's a lot of machines going right now.

I hear the...

And I have not even begun cutting my fabric.

I feel like I've been just helicopter-dropped

in the middle of the forest.

I hear wolves howling.

I hear tigers.

I hear snakes.

What do they do?

They go...

Acacia? - What?

Talk to me. - Can you help me?

- What do you need help with? - Everything.

I don't even know where to start, honestly.

I'm so lost, I can't see my way out.

- What if you did, like, a flared-out skirt like this

but did it, like, shorter?

You can make it out of something like that.

You know what I mean? I think you can do that.

Just get to work.

Joella needs a few weeks of lessons.

She needs a cocktail,

and she needs to learn her lip sync.

- The assignment this week is to design an opulent look

inspired by the cards we pulled from the Monopoly board,

and I can't wait.

Hey, squirrel friends.

Hi!

You buy any property lately?

Just a couple.

All right, I need the Yellows--

Acacia, Butthole, and Kori.

- What's up, mama? - Hello.

Hi.

- So, Butthole, where does your fashion inspiration come from?

- Most of my inspirations come from movies.

Anything by Tim Burton.

I'm a massive John Waters fan. - Yeah.

- So "Pink Flamingos," out-of-pocket-type things.

- Do you ever pad your body? - I do.

I brought some pads.

But I like to use my butthole.

Uh-huh.

Where'd you get that name?

- People just started calling me Butthole,

and I ran with it. - Yeah.

You ran to the right direction. - Yep.

Yeah.

RuPaul loves my butthole!

I have a lot of butthole in store for you, Mama Ru.

Just you wait.

And, Acacia.

- I'm going for a very '80s, "Dynasty" kind of--

- What do you know about the '80s?

I got the haircut for it.

I just love the olden days.

- "Olden days"? - Uh, yeah.

- Kori King, that body, it's so symmetric.

You proportioned it perfectly.

- My Bostonian physique. - Exactly.

It's gorgeous. - Thank you.

- Ru is living for this Boston booty, honey.

Move over, Plane Jane.

I am the new body.

- Green Team, come on over here.

- Hi. - Hello.

Now, Onya Last Nurve.

- Yes, ma'am. - Do you know how to sew?

- Well, I know how to work a machine

because I went to art school.

I have an emphasis in material studies,

so I'm familiar with the machine.

But this is going to be my first garment.

Back the fuck up.

You know how to work a machine...

Uh-huh.

- But this is your first garment?

Yes.

You would think that I would be shaking in my boots

for this challenge,

because I have never made myself a garment.

But I'm going to make it work.

- You seem so familiar. Like, I feel like I know you.

When you were walking down that runway like that...

Oh, shit!

- That's when I took notice and went, who the hell is this?

Me and Mother Ru are vibing.

We see each other.

- Now, Joella, that's some interesting fabric

you have there.

- Yes. - Do you know how to sew?

- Um... - No.

So you don't know how to sew,

so you decided to do this asymmetrical bodysuit?

- Yes. - A bodysuit?

What?

- Now, Michelle might have some issues with that,

because she says, these bitches coming up here in a leotard.

And you did a leotard last week, didn't you?

- I did. - I'd just be careful.

You know, you have to look around the room...

Okay.

- And just push yourself a little.

- I'm listening, and I almost want to change what I'm doing.

- I can't wait to see it. all: Thank you, Ru.

However, I don't have an ability

to make something different.

Come on over, Orange.

Hormona Lisa, I met you in Atlanta

when I was on my book tour.

Yes, you did, and here I am.

- Show me the sketch that you have.

You have some really pretty things on there.

- I'm kind of going for, like, a princess-goldfish

kind of vibe. - Uh-huh.

Do you sew all of your costumes?

- Yes. - I love that.

- I have been designing, sewing for a lot of my life.

I used to do costumes for theater,

so my goal is to win this week

and prove that I am worthy of being saved.

- And what about you, Ms. Lemonade?

You're very crafty. You know how to sew.

- No. - You don't?

- I just have never in my life stepped foot

in a sewing machine.

You know, every painter has its brushes.

- Yeah. - This painter right here...

Uh-huh.

- Just so happened to never use those brushes.

- Okay. You did the pizza face.

You do all sort of crafty things.

- Yeah. My idea is to give you something new.

So I'm trying to give you very much, like, fancy girl,

just something

that I haven't given you yet in this competition.

- Well, you know, variety is the spice of life.

- Yeah, yeah, and I'm willing to give it to you.

I have decided to give a more traditional type of drag.

I feel like I'm in the right track here.

- I'm going to let you all get to work.

- Whoo-whoo! - Thank you, pumpkin.

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

- This competition means so much to me and my family.

I'm going to do whatever it takes to stay here another week

and make it to that finish line.

- All right, ladies, listen up. Listen up, ladies.

I found this laying around backstage.

Oh!

- This dossier has all of the results

of your Rate-A-Queen voting system.

So, if you're curious or if you have the time,

you might want to check the receipts.

- I am so eager to see this document,

because they were so mad at me

for telling them the truth to their face.

However, I'm looking around the room,

and I can see a couple of nervous faces.

The moment of truth is here.

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

Oh, my Baby Jesus.

- Oh! - Ah!

Girl, let's see this.

- Ru has just dropped off the dossier

with the Rate-A-Queen voting results, and I am so ready.

So shall we indulge?

- It's amongst us. - Let's see.

All right.

Oh.

- Oh, it's telling us the person that's in first

and what they voted that person as.

Ah!

- I thought I voted out of confidentiality.

What the fuck is going on here on this day?

- Oh, no, they're going to catch me.

- Four divas have named me number one,

two divas, number two,

and then one lonely Lana...

- Who is that? - Named me number four.

I did rank two people high

because I did not want them to be in the bottom.

Next page, Jewels Sparkles.

Okay. All right. - Let's see, let's see.

- This is a good report card, I think.

Next, it's Lucky Starzzz.

Okay.

Okay, next, next, next.

What, honey? Arrietty.

Oh, Ms. Lana, you lived.

No, Ms. Lana did not live.

Ms. Lana was saving her friend. - She was saving her.

- I knew other girls would not live,

so I ranked her higher.

Oh.

- I did not want to see Arrietty in the bottom,

because she deserves to be here.

I had to make sure my sister was good--I had to.

I think it's interesting

that y'all bumped people up to save them.

Like, that's almost like y'all gave them an unfair ranking.

- Hormona, Onya, and Sam put you at six.

Mm.

- I thought your performance was good,

I just thought it plateaued.

It really didn't go anywhere after, like, moving the skirt.

So fuck her drag?

- Next. - Next up is Ms. Lydia.

Oh, Lana also lives.

- Crystal, you hated me. - Crystal did not live.

Explain yourself.

- I love the concept of you literally

had a butthole puppet,

but I felt like it was just not a pretty butthole.

- Well, frankly, I don't give a fuck what y'all think.

Next, Ms. Joella.

- Wait, I just want to see my picture.

Hold on. - Is the lace falling back?

- So, Lana, you wanted to "give me my fucking flowers,"

and then behind my back rate me low as fuck?

And Ms. Acacia Forgot.

Okay, who's next?

Week two.

First up, Lexi Love.

- You guys! Ah!

- 10s across the board. - Okay, thank you all.

- Second up, Ms. Crystal Envy. - Okay.

In third, Ms. Lana Ja'Rae.

So we have it alliance.

We have an alliance. - Yeah.

- The only gag here is that these two

had each other's backs. - Yeah.

- What? How is that a gag?

- Yeah, how's that a gag? - Oh!

- I don't think we played dirty.

That's not dirty. We played the game.

The queens are upset because they're not smart enough

to fucking know what to do.

Sorry y'all didn't think about it.

In fourth, Sam Star.

- Lydia, why seven? Damn. - Ah!

- Ms. Butthole thought she would be real cute

and put me seventh.

Oh, hell, no.

You think was the worst? - No, no, no.

Well-- - Oh!

- I just was not enjoying the talent

as much as the rest of the divas.

Okay.

The fucking nerve.

- In fifth place is Ms. Onya Nurve.

I am a little surprised.

A lot of the girls, even after my performance,

were like, yes, girl, you did so good.

- Jewels, you weren't having it.

What happened? - Ooh!

No shade, no shade.

It's just, for me,

the runway kind of fell short a little bit.

- Your crotch fell short, too. - Ah!

- I knew, like, a certain type of drag queen

don't like my drag.

The judges loved it.

- Next up, we have Ms. Kori Andre Charles, honey.

Almost in the bottom.

Um... - Damn!

- I mean, I am the sweetest villain of the season,

so I'm not surprised that I was a little lower.

And in last place is Ms. Hormona.

Ooh!

And that's the tea.

- Knowing how these queens ranked me

definitely makes me feel plugged.

Rate-A-Queen-- no, throw it out.

I want to hear what RuPaul has to say.

I have to remind these girls that I am fierce competition.

- Burn that shit. Let's get some sewing done.

- This isn't going through? - No, this isn't up on--

Oh, baby, you're not even through the fabric.

- Okay, Jewels, I need some advice.

- Talk to me. - This is the dress.

It's not perfect, but we're not going for perfect.

We should be.

What else does this need?

- You need some accouterments. - "Accoutrements"?

- Bring the flowers into the-- - Into the dress?

- Into the dress. - Just like--

- Hell, yeah. - Okay.

Get more flowers, bitch.

Get that shit into the dress.

Get this. Put that into the dress.

So Onya's dress is a little more on the simple side,

just, like, a basic slip dress.

I have no problem giving her any two cents

that she asks for.

Girl, I'll give her three or four cents.

- Are you using this, Jewels? - Yes.

I love this trim.

- I think my dress is a triumphant story...

of victory and overcoming.

Okay, not too much, girl.

- All right, I got my work cut out for me.

Ruching is done.

It's time for me to embellish my dress.

So I go to reach for my trimming

that I've been saving for this moment,

and who do I see cutting it up, gluing it on her dress?

Onya.

She fucking stole my trim!

Do you have more of that?

- She took them all. - Oh.

- I spent all my time ruching this dress,

and now I'm concerned that I don't have enough jewels

and enough things to put on this dress

to really fit the assignment.

I'm just going to ignore her for the rest of the day,

because I have no time, and now I'm mad, too.

Ugh!

Oh.

- You're out of-- yeah, it's popped.

Go, go, go, go.

Oh, shit.

- Yeah, this is going to take you all night.

- Hey, Lucky, are you better with, like, a hot-glue gun?

You're stressing me out.

- Yeah, you need to get a hot-glue gun.

- Just get a glue gun. You got to go to plan B.

Plan B.

- My poor girl Lucky Starzzz is struggling--

very struggling.

- I was just trying to see if I could somehow,

like, have this around this.

But, like, I'm not sure how.

Cut that triangle thing

and then make eight of them in that.

Yeah, in the pattern.

I'm trying to show her what to do,

but she's not picking it up.

- Time is dwindling down, and I look over to my left,

and I see Lucky, and the garment

is still in the same place that it was hours previous.

- I don't have not one thing done.

Bitch, I am shaking.

- Good morning, kingdom. - Gouda morning.

Mwah. - Mwah.

Another day, another dollar.

Today we'll be walking the runway

in our "Monopulence" look, and I feel amazing.

Let's get it, let's go.

- Mama, it's elimination day today.

Someone is going to be pork-chopped,

and thank God it's not me.

Ooh!

Ms. Hormona, we're doing it.

We're done, diva.

- No, I'm not done. - You're not done?

You have a lot left to do? - Just one or two things.

- This morning I can see that Hormona is very pissed.

- Let's go over here, Jezebel. It's you and me, girl.

- And that might be because I had to let

her have it this morning.

This morning I arrived

with a beautiful finished gown,

but after Lexi calls it out,

I am ultimately told that I cannot have any

of my own stones on my gown.

I was under the impression the whole time

it was something I could do.

So now I'm picking off all these rhinestones.

- I think Hormona's in trouble...

Mm.

- Because she used stones that were...

- Ooh! Girl. - Not allowed.

- Like, she used her own stones.

For the Monopoly design challenge,

you have to use what's provided to create your look.

I'm nervous for her.

- Why are you mad you got caught?

Back to jail.

Don't go past Go. You ain't collecting $200.

- Ms. Hormona, I'm not going to bother you

because I know you need to work.

- You don't want me to snap at you?

Yeah.

I have beautiful stones.

I could have encrusted my gown,

and it would have looked like a million dollars,

but that was not the challenge.

- Well, if you have any free time

and want to put your phalanges...

- On something. - To use--

it's like pulling ticks off a cow.

- Oh! - Similar.

- It's not personal. It's just drag.

Oh.

- Hormona Lisa absolutely broke the rules.

- This looks like five miles of bad road.

I am pretty irritated with Lexi.

I do feel like this was a challenge

that I could have won.

- I'm just hoping all the girls serve the category, you know.

- Yeah. - Money, expensive.

- No, I hope there's at least one

or two girls that don't,

because I'm ready for someone to go home.

Me and you both, sis.

Ladies, do you hear me?

I'm ready for someone to go home!

Pull the wrong lever, please!

I'm ready.

- Lexi is done spreading love, honey.

- Ooh! - It's messy love today.

- How are you feeling... - Good.

- My lovely darling sister? - I'm feeling so good, sister.

I really like Kori.

When she comes and hugs me and says, hey, sister,

it makes me feel some type of way that I enjoy.

- You're gonna be padded for this, mama?

- I'm going to be padded. I'm going to be tight, yeah.

Oh!

I'm a little sprung.

I'm just enjoying a snack on the way to the crown.

Girl, chismosa.

- Chismosa, chismosa. What's tea?

Me and Arrietty have our little chismosacorner.

Chismosais the Latina gossip girls.

Who do you think is on the bottom?

That one over there.

- Acacia? - Mm-hmm.

Girl, it's not glamorous.

- What'd you say about me? - Nothing.

- Nothing, Ms. Diva. Wait, come here, come here.

- You have a gorgeous smile. - What?

I want to draw on you.

Acacia could be the weakest link,

because the look's not there.

- Okay, I'm ready for the runway.

Pick me, sister.

- The most beautiful you've ever looked.

Yeah, it's a taste level for me--it's not there.

Ah!

I hate that bitch. - Chism--

Chismosa!

- I'm happier than yesterday about my garment,

but I'm a little nervous.

- Are you doing, like, fish face?

- I'm doing, like, a regular mug.

I know, right? - I'm so excited.

- For the first time in "Drag Race" herstory.

I'm doing something completely out of the box for me.

For me, this is a big moment.

I feel, like, this pressure to, like, do well,

because my family's back home waiting for me.

To finally prove to them that what I'm doing

is important, what I'm doing is special,

and it's going to help us. - Exactly.

Going into this runway,

I'm just thinking, bitch, you better sell that garment

like it is a Met Gala look.

- I'm so excited to see what you look like

with, like, regular beat.

That sounds so cool.

Yeah.

- So how do you feel about your runway?

- I think it looks really, really good.

But I'm a little annoyed.

I had helped Onya a lot.

She was asking me for advice all day,

and I was taking time out of my day to help her.

- Yeah. - She asked me--

Are you using this trim? And I said yes.

- Are you using this, Jewels? - Yes.

An hour later, she was gluing the trim all over her outfit.

- I overhear her and Arrietty talking about,

she didn't even ask me.

Didn't say nothing to me directly.

- I was taken back. I was really taken back.

I was gagged.

- Well, sister, I'm really sorry that it felt that way,

and I really, like, genuinely want to apologize

for, like, using the trim that you were going to use.

I should have asked for permission.

You know what I mean?

- But you did ask, and I said no.

- I know, but that's the thing, though.

It's not yours to own, like, all of the trim, because--

- But we ran up to it and claimed stuff.

Everyone got to claim what they got.

- You're not giving me anything,

because we're supposed to be sharing, first of all.

- Right. Okay, so-- - First of all--

- When we ran, we claimed stuff.

- And I claimed the velvet first,

and didn't you use velvet? - And we shared it.

We agreed, I'm going to give you half of my stuff--

- Right, we're sharing, so what's the big deal?

- The big deal was that I told you this

is the one thing I needed.

- You didn't own none of that shit, so...

- You can feel that way, but at the end of the day,

we're told to go up and grab what we need.

- And I grabbed what I needed. - Oh, you certainly did, bitch.

Oh!

Y'all, I got my popcorn.

I'll stop my makeup for this.

This is worth it. This is too good.

- Yes, honey. Okay, work. - I don't know.

I feel like I'm under the impression

that, like, when things are up there,

you claim things, you claim things.

Am I right or wrong for thinking that?

- No, but you can't hoard stuff.

- I'm not asking you. I'm asking the group.

- I'm a "finders keepers, losers weepers" kind of girl.

Thank you.

- And I found it, and I kept it.

- Did you find it first, though?

- No, I found it-- - Then you didn't find it.

You found it on her station.

- She literally picked it up off my station

after asking me, girl, are you going to use this?

I said, yes, I'm going to use this.

You was ruching all night.

At that point, I didn't think you was using it, honestly.

But I told you I was!

- You're such a talented designer.

Don't let that trim get you out of pocket.

- Baby, I'm not, because my outfit is fierce.

- It is sickening, so what the fuck is you worried about?

I had this basic-ass gown.

I'm trying to embellish it as much as possible.

I'm not about to ask no bitch for something that I need,

and we're supposed to be sharing.

Most, if not all, of these girls are seamstresses.

So to be pressed about me taking some green

trimming when you're ruching this whole-ass dress

is beyond me.

Your garment looks great.

Calm down, because I was not trying to be malicious.

I needed that trim.

It was malicious.

- Well, you can think that. That's fine.

Have your moment,

because you're not going to have too many more, bitch.

All right, then.

- There's drama with the Greens.

There's drama with the Oranges.

But me and Lydia are sitting lovey-dovey in Yellow.

- Gosh, I'm so excited to show off my outfit.

- How many outfits do you make out of a year?

- So many. - Yeah? Good.

- I don't come from hardly anything.

- Yeah. Me too. - So...

- Yeah, it was sort of like, you known,

go to the Walmart fabric section

and figure something out, honey.

Figure it out, bitch.

- I've turned toilet-paper rolls into bracelets.

- Absolutely. - What?

You know.

- Duct tape rolls into bracelets.

Uh-huh.

- You take all the tape off, and then you glue stones

around the duct tape roll, and it's real big.

- Yep. - Right.

Originally, meeting Sam Star,

I was fully under the impression

that she was going to be just riddled with she-devil blood.

But I took a drink of the Kool-Aid,

and now I am a Sam Star stan.

- This is the last time we're all going to be

in the room together.

Tonight someone is going home.

Well, hopefully. - I wouldn't shed a tear.

- I would probably shed a tear. - I'll shed a tear.

- Oh, okay. - I'll shed a tear or two.

It's time for someone to go home,

and emotions have been extremely high.

All you can do is laugh.

Welcome to the main stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

Don't be throwing no shade. She just want to get paid.

It's Michelle Visage.

- Tell the man with the money to come here and pay me.

The fabulous Ts Madison.

Do you like playing games?

- Well, only if it has a joystick.

- And straight from Sandyland, it's Sandra Bernhard.

- Well, not exactly straight, Ru.

- It is wonderful to have you here.

- Well, you know what I've always said to you, Ru.

As long as I have a face, you have a place to sit.

- This week, we challenged our queens

to create luxe looks inspired by Monopoly.

And tonight on the runway, category is "Monopulence."

You own everything.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win.

Category is Monopulence.

Up first, from St. James Place,

Lucky Starzzz.

It's Lady Orange Marmalade.

- Now, listen, America, y'all know what I do,

and y'all know it's not this, okay?

Is there a hem in every corner?

Hell, no.

To sell this garment,

I am trying to smile as much as I can.

The smile is going to be very painful,

but I will be smiling

all the way till the end of that runway.

- From Tennessee Avenue, Hormona Lisa.

She's got a-peel.

- An orange peel. - Mm-hmm.

Thank you, Sandra. - Thank you.

- I am serving princess goldfish.

The gown fits nice.

However, I do wish that I had the stones on it,

but, overall, I feel good about this.

- From New York Avenue, Lexi Love.

- The train is most definitely still running.

- So I have a gigantic roll of fabric.

Luckily, it is unrolling as I'm walking.

Everything is working as I planned.

She is giving you legs, she's giving you gorgeous,

she's giving you angles.

Feeling like sexy Lexi, honey.

Oof!

- From Kentucky Avenue, Suzie Toot.

It's the devil and Ms. Toot.

I can see her Beelzeboobs.

- I'm giving you ooky-spooky floor-length 1930s drama.

Betty Boop as the Princess of Hell.

This headpiece is made out of plastic bags,

duct tape, and a dream.

I think I look pretty cute.

- From Indiana Avenue, Arrietty.

How's your head...

piece?

I'm giving

the Real Housewives of Mexico City.

It's very glamorous, it's very sexy,

the drama and the drapery.

It'sescándalo.

I want to win.

- If you stay red-dy, you ain't got to get red-dy.

From Illinois Avenue, Lana Ja'Rae.

- You heard of White Diamonds?

- Yeah. - This is Red Acrylic.

Oh, okay.

- Tonight I am giving you a vision in red.

Honestly, I'm very happy

with the way this look came together.

I always look very put-together and rich

when I'm in drag, and this look is no exception.

And, yes, this is the new BBL.

She is red for filth.

- From Atlantic Avenue, Acacia Forgot.

Hello, Dolly.

- Check out her Smoky Mountains.

- This vibe is very Acacia, very "Dynasty,"

trashy bridesmaid's dress.

I know your mom has this in her closet.

Ruffles on ruffles on ruffles,

and wherever there's not a ruffle, I have tits.

- There's gold in them there hills.

From Ventnor Avenue, it's Kori King.

This cat ate the canary.

- This yellow is looking ever so good on my ebony skin.

I am giving you Old Hollywood glamour.

From head to toe, I'm giving you full yellow.

Hell, I even spray-painted my shoes yellow.

That's commitment, fellas.

I tawt I taw a puddy cat.

You did, you did.

- From Marvin Gardens, it's Lydia Butthole Kollins.

- I wanted to create a style that was unique to me.

It's fully ruched. It's furry.

I am giving you a little bit of Muppets

with a hint of "Horton Hears a Ho."

- Lydia, honey, did you make your bed?

No, Mama, I'm wearing it.

From Pacific Avenue, Joella.

- Check out those emerald titties!

- Honey, I am selling this garment.

I'm actually kind of satisfied with what I made,

for my skill level.

I even kind of hemmed it with the hot-glue gun.

See, I do know a thing or two about construction.

I'm serving it.

How green is her valley?

From North Carolina Avenue, Onya Nurve.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mary J. Blige starring

in "Sunset Boulevard."

- I put my whole soul into this garment.

It is something that represents my culture.

What opulence means to me is my grandma's house.

It's the way you carry yourself.

It's old money.

It's your daddy's daddy's daddy's money.

- She is ready for her close-up.

- From Pennsylvania Avenue, Jewels Sparkles.

- Darling, slow down. What's the ruche?

Oh!

- I am rocking this beautiful, beautiful skin-tight dress.

Honey, I am ruched from my head to my toes.

The cone is cone-ing and the bra is bra-ing,

and I feel stunning.

You Gaultier, girl.

From Park Place, Sam Star.

- Mm, I do declare. - I do, I do.

- This is giving Sam Star to a T--

over the top, sparkly, fabulous.

The silhouette is giving you Old Hollywood, Mae West.

A pageant queen, I mean, showstopper.

And, sweetie, this is not blue, this is cerulean.

Rich.

From Boardwalk, Crystal Envy.

Greetings from Ass-bury Park.

- I feel like the richest bitch in town.

She is a pageant girl, baby.

She is always going to have the silhouette down to a T.

The body will be right,

and the proportions will always be right.

And I am "Gone with the Wind" fabulous, honey.

Old-money New Jersey.

Mo' money, mo' problems.

Welcome, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Hormona Lisa, Lexi Love,

Suzie Toot, Lana Ja'Rae,

Acacia Forgot, Lydia Butthole Kollins,

Jewels Sparkles, Crystal Envy...

do not pass Go.

Do not collect $200.

You are all safe.

- You may leave the stage. - Thanks, Mama.

- Now it's time for the judges' critiques...

starting with Lucky Starzzz.

- Tonight you're not doing the drag that you normally do,

and versatility is fantastic

and necessary in this competition.

But the outfit, there's some rough edges on it.

I don't think this shows off your skill.

- I see that you are a bit disappointed.

I'm sorry.

- You have to sell exactly what you got.

I would have loved to have seen you just a bit more confident.

- I just-- I just, I--

I really wanted to prove that I could do this,

and it just feels like I failed.

- This isn't your strong suit. - Mm-hmm.

- So maybe get back to what is and just forge ahead.

Thank you.

Up next, Arrietty.

- I really like this look. I think that you are gorgeous.

You did a great job.

- You've achieved sexiness in a very classy way.

Construction-- beautifully executed.

I love the silhouette.

It's interesting and very unexpected.

- The hair choice, beautiful. The paint is stunning.

The thing I want to commend you the most on

is taking some of the white off of your face.

What you do down your nose normally, it's beautiful.

But, again, versatility is important.

You look so gorgeous tonight.

Up next, Kori King.

- Your body is always right and tight.

Thank you.

- Yeah, you know what you're doing with it,

and you've got it down.

- I was expecting grand rich bitch.

That outfit is giving me cheap prostitute.

But-- - Maddie!

I mean, it is!

- Well, you got me. - It is.

You got me, gal.

- I've been a cheap prostitute a time or two.

You are gorgeous, but I'm looking

at you now like, I wonder will this $20 get me through.

- Well, I'll just take it another direction.

I think you look whimsical, festive, kooky, and off-beat.

- It is kooky and all that, but it doesn't say "opulent."

That's the issue we have.

Up next, Joella.

Joella, you're pretty.

I do not like this outfit.

When you were thinking about Monopoly and rich,

this was the thought that you had?

- Honestly, I was just thinking about, what can I make?

Because I don't sew.

- That's the thing about drag is,

you can always figure out a way to make it work.

- Again, we're in the prostitute place.

Now, that prostitute place right there

would get you probably $40.

- You need to step up your game.

This just didn't do it for me tonight, kiddo.

Up next, Onya Nurve.

- You "Monopulated" my total focus.

I was obsessed with you.

I wanted to know you. I wanted to hang out with you.

- That is definitely rich-bitch energy.

When you walked out on that stage, I was like, yes.

- From the minute you came out and gave us the...

- I was in, and I thought you did a really, really nice job.

- The gowns, the jewels, the headpiece,

the mug, the cigarette--

now, that's a high-class prostitute right there.

- I had a good idea of what opulence meant to me.

It freed me from worrying about perfect garment

because I knew I could sell

what the fuck needed to be sold.

Oh, good.

Up next, Sam Star.

- You just have such presence when you come on to a stage.

That smile lights up the room.

So, whatever you paid for it, it's worth it.

Thanks, Mom.

- You just came out effortlessly,

with great grace and just ease.

- And what you made is beautifully done.

This drop waist and the way you have the gems

dripping from the shoulders.

This dress is gorgeous.

- I've dreamed and prayed for this moment forever.

It means the world to me.

My nana taught me how to sew,

and she's smiling down right now.

I know she'd be so proud of what I was able to do.

- Yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

- Thank you, queens. I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I will deliberate.

Now, just between us squirrel friends,

what do you think,

starting with Lucky Starzzz?

- I actually like that she took a risk

and did something completely out of the ordinary for her.

But if you're not a sewer, why go right into pleats?

Why go right into hoop skirts?

- The outfit was at odds with her take on drag,

and it just didn't come together.

Arrietty.

- She knows how to construct a dress.

- All of it was completely finished and so beautiful.

This was my favorite tonight.

- Can I just say she read those girls?

Hands down.

All right, Kori King.

- Honey, we were going for Pennsylvania Avenue, honey,

not Sesame Street. - Oh!

- It gave very cheap prostitute,

like I said before,

and I am an expert in cheap prostitutes.

- I've learned so much about cheap hookers here today

that I may have to go and experience it myself.

Joella.

- It's season 17, sewing challenge.

Why is no one ever ready? - Mm-hmm.

- We're still coming into this competition

without knowing a basic pattern for yourself.

And you could do it for free online.

Calling McCall's!

- And she chose the hardest material out of anybody.

It was all the wrong fit.

- Joella really just didn't come prepared.

Onya Nurve.

- You can't compare it to Arrietty...

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. - Or Sam...

- As far as the technical aspects of it.

But I tell you what, she gives us the full fantasy.

- It was the way she sold the outfit

that really turned her into our little Dominique Deveraux,

Diahann Carroll. - Yes!

- All I saw was money. - Mm-hmm.

She was a cash register.

Sam Star.

- It was all beautifully constructed.

- When you have that kind of confidence

to be able to sit down in front of the sewing machine

and whip that together,

then it's just going to reflect on everything.

- Honey, she gave me a young Rue McClanahan, honey.

I was looking for Big Daddy when

she walked down that aisle. - Oh, okay.

Silence! I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Arrietty...

Onya Nurve...

Sam Star...

tonight you all took it to the bank,

but one of you has a monopoly

on looking good and feeling gorgeous.

Sam Star, condragulations.

You are the winner of this week's challenge.

Oh, wow!

- Yeah, Sam! - Well done, Sam!

Come on, Sammy!

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

Yes! Yes!

- Courtesy of Monopoly. - Oh, thank you!

And that's real money.

That ain't Monopoly money, honey.

All right!

The first time the judges are deciding, I win!

- You three may join the other girls.

Thank you.

Revenge has never felt so sweet,

because these girls wanted to keep me out of the top,

but RuPaul said herself that I was the top bitch.

Lucky Starzzz...

your orange didn't have the juice.

Kori King...

your yellow bird was saying cheap, cheap.

Joella...

tonight you proved that it's not easy being green.

Kori King...

you are safe.

Thank you.

You may join the other girls.

Lucky Starzzz, Joella...

I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.

- I'm feeling so disappointed and so embarrassed.

But I'm going to fight for my family,

I'm going to fight for myself,

and I'm going to fight for my art.

Two queens stand before me.

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.

My whole entire soul

is on fire.

Welcome to the Joella Show.

Good luck...

and don't fuck it up.

Yeah!

Wow!

- Lucky's shoe flew off. I'm ducking and hiding.

- I'm trying to do as many moves as I can.

I'm trying to sell everything in the grocery store right now.

Lucky is doing way too much.

I step right in front of her, because this is my stage.

Come on, baby!

Whoa!

- Queens, I've made my decision.

Joella, shantay, you stay.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

You may join the other girls.

Lucky Starzzz,

you still have one last chance

to Badonka Dunk your way back

into the competition.

We need a virgin.

But on such short notice,

Michelle was the best we could do.

Lucky, before you are nine levers.

One of those levers will drop Michelle Visage

into the Badonka Dunk tank,

presented by Las Vegas.

Lucky...

choose carefully.

- I'm just praying to God I will not be going home.

Sorry, Michelle, but you will be dunked.

Trust.

I'm sorry, my dear.

You did not save yourself from elimination.

But you're leaving here with a trip

to the entertainment capital of the world,

because Vegas is good for you.

Lucky, you are and will always be

a beloved member of the "Drag Race" family.

Now...

sashay away.

Love you, Lucky.

RuPaul, it's Starzzz-zuh.

- I honestly am surprised to be sashaying away first.

I know that I had so much more to show.

I just want to say, be true to your heart

and sip on that lemonade, henny.

Condragulations, queens.

And, remember, if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?

Can I get an "amen" up in here? all: Amen.

- All right, now let the music play.

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

You will be creating commercials inspired by iconic

"RuPaul's Drag Race" moments. - Have it!

Yes!

Mayday, mayday.

Your performance was hot.

Your voice was so beautiful.

- I'm not really sure where the storyline was going.

- How do you feel about not winning?

I mean, it is what it is.

Girl, Sam literally won

with that ugly fucking pussycat wig on.
