MTV

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

You need to take fashion
inspiration from Monopoly

and bring it to the runway.

- She fucking stole my trim.

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

and we're supposed
to be sharing.

- Have your moment
'cause you're not going

to have too many more, bitch.

- Lucky Starzzz.

- I don't think
this shows off your skill.

- Joella.

- I do not like this outfit.

- Sam Star.

- You came out effortlessly
with grace and ease.

- Condragulations,
you are the winner

of this week's challenge.

Joella, shantay, you stay.

Lucky Starzzz,
you have one last chance

to Badonka Dunk your way
back into the competition.

I'm sorry, my dear.

Sashay away.

Bitch, I survived.

- We're back in the Werk Room.

And Lucky Starzzz,
someone I was very close to,

just left, and I'm just
having a hard time.

- "Lucky Starzzz was here,
and don't you forget it.

Keep on shining,
my lucky stars."

- We love you, Lucky.

- Bye bye, Lucky.

- I'm going to miss you, Lucky.

- I'm devastated because I know
how much Lucky has to show.

- I feel like I saw
a young me in Lucky.

So to see her spin out
of control in that way--

- It's just--

- Ari.

- I can't right now.

I can't.

- Why are so many people
crying?

I know the girls love me.

However, I'm kind of
getting the vibe

that maybe they liked Lucky
Starzzz a little bit more.

Sending her home
and lip syncing against her

was very painful.

I love her so, so, so much.

She's so fucking sickening.

And for a minute, I almost
thought she sent me home.

- I will say
the Little Debbie snack

scooter shoes came in handy.

- We love you, Lucky Starzzz.

- At the end of the day,
I can't fault people

for preferring someone
over the other.

However, fuck those bitches.

- Well, Miss Sam Star,
how do you feel of your win?

- Oh, my gosh,
you know how I said

I was on cloud nine earlier?

Now I'm on cloud, like, 48.

The words that
the judges said to me

I'm going to dream about
for the rest of my life.

And this is a special
message to the girls who

rated me seventh and sixth.

Y'all can all suck my tuck.

You know, I was
getting in my head

because them shady bitches
kept me off the top.

But the first time
the judges are deciding

the tops and bottoms,
I showed them all

that I truly am a star.

- And congrats to Arrietty and
to Onya for tops of the week.

- I'm so humbled, and I'm
just excited to, like,

keep that trajectory going.

- Onya was a bitch
who stole all my trims.

I could waste my time fighting
'cause I'm a petty bitch.

But there are more important
things at hand.

I forgive, but I don't forget.

- And Arrietty?

- What's good?

- Wait, why are you there?

- How do you feel?

- How do you feel
about not winning?

- I mean, it is what it is.

You won.

- Thank you.

- Girl, Sam literally won
with that

ugly fucking pussycat wig on.

I'm sorry.

It was not glamorous to me.

- Sister.

- Miss Kori.

- How do you feel about
being low this week?

- Me being a tall girl, I'm
a little mad about being low,

I will say.

However, I am thanking
my Boston booty

for saving me
in the bottom three

and not having to lip sync
with my delicate shoes.

- Everybody give
a "cheep, cheep" for Kori.

Cheep, cheep.

- 1, 2, 3.

Cheep, cheep,
cheep, cheep, cheep.

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

The pressure's on.

Girls are finally
starting to go home,

and this is where
the competition really starts.

Well, now it's time
to win a challenge.

Bottom to the top, honey.

I may have been in the bottom,
but this Bostonian booty

has a lot more to show.

Buckle up, ladies,
because the race just begun.

"RuPaul's Drag Race"

May the best drag queen win,
best drag queen win

- It's week four.

Good morning.

Whoo-hoo!

- How are you?

- It's a new day
in the Werk Room,

and I'm just so excited
to slay another day.

Yeah.

The design challenge
is very hard,

so I knew it was going
to be a challenge that

I needed to, like, overcome.

Onya Nurve has come to play
the game of "Drag Race."

- Now that we all know
each other a little bit,

does anyone have any
impersonations of one another?

- I do live for Sam.

Sam kind of is like, howdy,
y'all, I'm so excited

for the challenge.

- Yes.

- I can do a good Hormona.

Fuck that bitch Lexi
making me take these stones

off this motherfucker.

- Spot on.

- That fucking...

- Here is my Arrietty
impersonation.

That's it.

- A cunty bitch
doesn't have to say much

when an ugly one does.

- Hello, hello, hello.

- Come on, plaid.

- Queens, for over
16 years, the queens

of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
have created

countless iconic moments.

Now it's your chance to turn
those memories into music.

- Oh.

- For this week's
Maxi Challenge,

you'll be creating
commercials for the greatest

hits collection "Bitch, I'm
a Drag Queen," Volumes 1 and 2.

- Ooh.
- One and two.

- Oh, pit crew.

Queens, to choose your
"Drag Race" inspired song,

just reach into Bruno's
big, pink, furry box

and pull out a track.

Starting with Suzie Toot.
- Ooh.

Hello.

"You're Perfect,
You're Beautiful."

Volume 2.

- You're perfect,
you're beautiful,

you look like Linda
Evangelista, you're a model.

- This is one of my favorite
"Drag Race" quotes.

It's so good.

- Sam Star.

- "Star Quality," Volume 2.

- That's not bullshit.

That's a fact, baby.

- Like I said, if you
don't have star quality,

get the fuck out of here.

- Inspired by
Kandy and Tamisha,

and you'll play Tamisha.

- I selected "Star Quality."

Sam Star, "Star Quality."

It seems like it's meant to be.

- Onya Nurve.

- "Put Your Lighters Up,"
Volume 2.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Put your lighters up.

- I love Laganja.

I'm here to kill this song
for my fellow sister.

I got you, Ganja.

I got you, Ganja.

- Lydia "Butthole" Kollins.

- "No Class, No Manners,"
Volume 1.

- No class and no manners.

- No class, no manners?

Bitch, I am from Chicago.

- And, baby, you're Mystique.

All right, Lexi Love.

- "This is Your Moment,"
Volume 2.

- This is your moment.

Have it.

- I have drawn the one
and only trans sister

of mine, Miss Jasmine Kennedy.

This was meant to be.

- Lana Ja'Rae.

- We have "No Class,
No Manners," Volume 1.

- And you've got
the Morgan part.

- It looks like a tire
ran over your face.

- Come here, Morgan.

- Morgan.

- Up next, Kori King.

- "Glamazon Bitch," Volume 2.

- Trade didn't like the
session, so he had gutted me.

But you know, I didn't die, OK.

I had crystallized.

- Oh.

- And now I'm a glamazon bitch
ready for the runway.

- All right, Joella,
pick a song.

- "We Write The Stories,"
Volume 1.

- They've tried to erase us
over history,

throughout history.

We write the stories.

- Jewels Sparkles.

"Back rolls."

- You had rolls all over
the place in the back.

- Back rolls?

- Inspired by Alyssa Edwards
and Jade Jolie.

You've got the Jade Jolie part.

Hormona Lisa.

- "I Nominate Myself,"
Volume 1.

- Shannel, who should be
eliminated tonight?

- I nominate myself.

- I relate to Shannel
because I'm also beautiful.

So.

It's a match made in heaven.

- Crystal Envy.

- "Unprofessional," Volume 1.

- Snatch Game was
the most romper room fuckery

that I've ever experienced
in my life.

Completely unprofessional.

And that is not what
I came here to do.

- Arrietty.

"Back rolls."

- And you've got
the Alyssa Edwards part.

- I'm doing it with my fucking
hermana, Jewels Sparkles.

We're going to have
so much fun.

- Acacia Forgot.

- "Star Quality," Volume 2.

- And you'll be playing
the Kandy Muse part.

- Suck it, bitch.

- Yay!
- Yes.

I won't lie and say that
I'm not a little nervous

being paired with Acacia,
especially if we end up

getting judged as a pair.

But I'm hoping I'm able
to pull out some star quality

from Miss Forgot.

- Queens, I'm leaving you
in charge.

First you'll record
your vocals.

Then you'll head
to the "Untucked" lounge,

where each team
will work together

to produce their "Bitch,
I'm a Drag Queen" commercial.

Now, to be clear, we're not
looking for imitations.

We're looking for you
to make these tracks your own.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best
drag queen win.

- Girl.
- Volume 1, Volume 1.

- Volume 1, mama.

- Baby, let's go.

- Volume 2.

- Girl, we gotta eat them up.

- For this week's
Maxi Challenge,

we are going to be creating
commercials for

"Bitch, I'm a Drag Queen,"
Volumes 1 and 2.

The iconic moments
of "Drag Race" history

will be recreated into song.

And I'm so excited!

- This is my track.

This is "Unprofessional."

- Oh.

- Ooh.

This is sickening.

Latrice is one of
the most iconic

queens in "Drag Race" history.

- Eat it!

- We need to pull inspiration
but make this our own.

Good God, get a grip, girl.

So then we have Lana and Lydia.

- Pray for something cunt.

- The first "Untucked" fight.

- Please, please.

This fight is probably,
like, they were

seconds away from beating
the shit out each other.

- Bitch, I am from Chicago.

- I thought this challenge
would be my challenge

to really break out and show
the world and the judges

that I'm a star.

- This is very, like, campfire.

- This is the opposite
of what I wanted.

- Come on, Taylor Swift,
let's get sickening.

- However, the song is country.

It's a lot slower
than I expected,

which, no shade
to the Swifties,

but I am not getting
my life at all.

- So this is
Arrietty and Jewels.

- Oh.
That picked up.

- It has a nice
little beat to it.

- We're going to give you, huh.

- Back rolls?

- I'm not even playing
Alyssa, but, bitch,

that's Alyssa's moment.

Sorry, Jade, love you girl.

But Arrietty and I
are both going to be

channeling the Alyssa-isms,

the Alyssa of it all.

- Before we write the stories,
I kind of

want it to be set up where,
like, before the song starts,

I want everyone just
kind of like being upset.

- I got the season three
"Untucked"

Mariah Paris Balenciaga

we write the story speech, preach.

- We are the ones behind
progress in humanity.

- And my moment
is a gospel song.

I'm a pop girl.

You know, I'm a very big
Katy Perry fan.

And I'm a little bit
nervous now.

- You have this whole
portion where you're

really commanding the camera.

And then we all do--
- And everybody comes in.

And we like--

- And you give us,
like, little chorus.

It's like, ah, ha, ha, ha.

- Yes, yes.

We got the director
on our team.

- Girl. Bossy.

- So far, we're having
a really collaborative process.

This is a team challenge,

so we want to uplift
one another.

But at the end of the day,
we also are individuals.

There is a me in team.

We'll definitely have
to have different

outfits we're wearing
if we're going to be

featured in each other's.

So bring an extra shake
and go to throw on

so we can give diversity,
something you don't

got to glue down too much.

- True.

- I've actually never even
worn a shake and go before,

so I'm excited for that.

- Baby, that is a shake
and go on your head.

And I don't even think
she shakes it.

- What do we think
the other team

is going to do this challenge?

- They're going
to shake and go.

- Little girl.

- I am in a duo with Sam Star,
and we're doing "Untucked"

when Tamisha calls Kandy
arrogant.

- If you don't have
star quality,

get the fuck out of here.

- I've been around 30 years,
little girl.

- I even had a vision
for our performance.

You know, if we're sort of
tangoing together,

and then for the very button,

if there's
a funny moment where,

like, you're supposed
to dip into me

and I just let you fall.

Little girl.

- That'd be funny.

- Sam and Acacia are going
in a tango direction.

It's not exactly how
the song reads to me,

so I'm a little bit worried
about the direction

that they are headed in.

- "Put Your Lighters Up."

Laganja Estranja.

- Oh, you dirty bitch.

- So I know y'all remember
when Laganja came on stage

and thought she was about
to have a good old time

with these senior citizens.

- Y'all, it's very dry.

It's almost kind of like
your vagina.

- It plummeted.

It went down fast.

Mayday, mayday.

Come on, jazzy.

- That's jazz.

- G-g-gay.

Just like how the focus
was completely on Laganja,

this is my moment,
and I'm about to take it.

- Miss Kori King.

- Hold on.

- Cheep, cheep.
- Oh, my God.

- Your lyrics have,
like, chicken in them.

So you gotta have feathers.

- Oh, I--

- Just keep talking.

Hold on.

- Kennedy is wearing this
hideous dead chicken costume.

And also last week I wore
a hideous chicken costume.

So I'm going to have
a encrusted outfit

that is the same color under
that outfit and reveal it.

I'm going to wear this one
and then chuck the other one.

I'm a genius.

So this is my cheep, cheep
redemption moment.

- Yes, ma'am.

- What do we think the other
girls are going to be giving?

- Y'all think Miss Butthole
is going to slay?

No, ma'am.

No puppet and still no pads.

What?

- Listen, well, I like her
just the way she is.

- Oh, I'm sure you do.

- I'm sure you do.

- Miss Congeniality.

- I think Arrietty and Jewels
also think that they're going

to kill it, but I have
a feeling that they're going

to...

- The claws are
definitely coming out.

Finally, these bitches want
to wake up and compete.

- 1, 2, 3.

Volume 2.

- The sequel is never as good
as the original, baby.

- They have to work even harder
because they have to learn

the lip sync song too.

- Obviously,
we all want to win.

However, some stars shine
brighter than others.

And, baby,
I'm the motherfucking sun.

Game on.

- All right, girls, let's
get this commercial going.

- Yee-haw.

- It's time for my group to
shoot "Bitch, I'm a Drag Queen"

Volume 1.
- Who's up first?

- So me and Lydia are up first.
- OK.

We've already
recorded our tracks,

and now we have
to perform them.

There is so much
going into this.

We have to set up our sets.

We have to set up
choreography.

So let's get it together, girls.

- Are they real tumbleweeds?
- Yeah.

- Try to roll it in.

Let me see how it looks.

- Girl, what the fuck?

Like a bowling ball, like this.

- Our tumbleweeds aren't
necessarily tumbleweeding.

- I don't know
about that, sister.

- If it's not going to roll,
then we'll just have Crystal.

Honey, you're so
goddamn loud that no one can

- Bitch, I'm a tumbleweed.

- It looks way better.
- OK.

- Sickening.

- I thought I was just
going to do one take,

and everyone was like,
again, again, again, again.

- Roll again.

- I hate to say it, but I
think Crystal's tumbleweed

is outshining Lana and Lydia.

It's just so funny to me.

- OK, we got it, girl.
We got it.

- OK, we're just going
to take it from the top.

Hit it.

At the end of the day

We will come up
with an event

- I'm going to preach
to the choir, honey.

We're going to get
the Holy Ghost into my body.

I'm going to show them
the light.

- Yeah.

- Honestly, I don't know
that much about religion.

- Whoa!

- Oh!

- OK, we're getting
a shot where

Arrietty smacks me in
the face with a powder puff.

- All right.

Ready, girls?

1, 2, 3, 4.

- Jewels, that's great.

- Yeah, yep.

- Jewels is giving 120%,
and Arrietty

isn't really doing the most.

She has done so much for me
in this competition,

so I hope she does well
because that's my girl.

- I feel like
we should probably,

like, like they do at pageants,
like hands, you know.

Like we're getting
placements or something.

- Y'all, I'm about
to lose a pageant, OK.

- Won't be your first time.

- Hit it.

- Oh, emote, emote.

Give it to us.
Give it to us.

- Act like you're mad.
- You're mad.

- Give us this.
- Act, act.

- You're beautiful.

- Hormona's song...

- Act, emote, emote.
- You're so scared.

You're so nervous.

- It seems like
Hormona isn't aware

that the cameras are rolling
throughout the entire thing.

I really want her to look
the cameras dead in the eyes

and sell it, girl.

- You're scared. You're scared.

- I wish people that are not
directing the music video

would just let me
go through my process,

because I know what I'm doing.

I think that's good.

That's a wrap.
- Joella.

Come on, Joella.
Sorry.

I'm being bossy right now.

We need to hurry up.

- Crystal Envy comes
from the pageant world,

so you can only
imagine how precise

she is about everything.

- We'll go in order.

Lana, Jewels, Arrietty,
and dip out straight that way.

Good God,
get a grip, girl

Good God, get a grip, girl

What I came here to do

- Yes.

- Yes, mic drop.

- All right, bitches,
we motherfucking did it.

Come on.

Volume 1 did great.

I really loved what
I brought to the table.

I felt like I took on
a good leadership role.

Mama, give me the win.

- OK, let's get shit done.

- Let's do it.

- I'm first.

For the most part, I would love

you guys just in the corner,

like, giving me
direction and guidance.

- Oh.
- That we can do.

We can do that.

- My plan of attack is
to be solo in my video.

I don't want anyone
pulling focus.

The vibe is, like,
the green room at a rock show.

And I've been left, like,
a note by my ex-lover

that I'm going to fuck up
and throw shit

and be angry at.
- Love that.

- Hit it.

You're perfect,
you're beautiful

You look like
Linda Evangelista

- Wait, we're eating.

Mama, Suzie Toot is eating.

She's kicking boxes.

She's eating popcorn.

She's checking her FICO score.

- Go like up, up, up, down.

- Yeah.

- I feel like the key to doing
well in this challenge

is to pay attention to what the
other competitors are doing,

and Suzie is rising
to the top really fast.

- Girl, I feel good.

I think we're ready
to keep going.

- Let's do it.
Good job, team.

- We did it.
Whoo, whoo.

- Sam, Acacia,
what do y'all need?

- We're going to have our park
bench here with a street lamp.

We're going to be giving
flamenco, ole, arriba.

That's all the words I know.

- Hit it.

- Hey!

Ah.

Heck yeah.

Yeah, Sam.

- I'm living my tango fantasy.

I'm not a dancer,

so I don't really know
what I'm doing.

But I hope it looks good.

- That was great.

- Yes!
- Yes!

- All I really need is, like,
a spot, a little bit of smoke,

and a tight shot on my face
so we can catch the lip sync.

At this point,
I'm very much like,

y'all do what y'all going
to do, and I'm going

to do what I'm going to do.

I know we are a team,
but the challenge

still seems very individual.

- Hit it.

Hey, hey, hey,
put your lighters up

Ganja's in the house

- Yes, she is.

OK

- I am loving this number.

I think that
Onya is captivating.

Her skin and those feathers--
oh, I think

Onya is the one to watch.

- Ah, sickening.

- That looked like a movie.

- Wait, did we make her
look too good?

- Y'all did so amazing.

I'm like, I have to
really kill this.

- Hit it.

I'm not worried about you

What I'm selling is
not what you're selling

- "This is Your Moment"
by Jasmine Kennedy.

It's about yelling at someone,
this is your moment.

Have it.

But Lexi's crying and talking
about how glamorous she is

with this giant diamond.

I don't really understand
what is happening.

- Okey-doke, ladies.

So I will be closing this.

I really want to embody
Kennedy's crystallized moment.

So I am having Lexi reveal
this ugly Monopulence dress

to my crystallized leotard
to prove a point

that I know how to upgrade.

But I didn't die

- Yes, look at that.

More face.

- The outfits are so similar,

it's not really
reading on camera.

- Yeah.

- I'm a little confused.

- This is crazy.

There are eggs shooting out
from under her butt.

It is just pure chaos.

- When you see this,
hit me with eggs.

- Oh, my.

I'm so sorry, Ru.

I'm just going to apologize
for her now.

- I don't know what
Volume 1 looks like,

but from what I can see
with my own eyes,

Kori in danger, girl.

- Bonjour.

- Hello.

It's a new day in
the Werk Room, mama.

- It's elimination day,
which means another queen

is going to be going home.

Hopefully.

Everyone is incredibly
confident, which should

make everyone not confident.

- Let's get into mug, mama.

- We heard you guys
in the back.

We heard you say action.

- No, no, stop.

- Bigger, bigger,
more, more, more.

- Yeah, I just feel like
I naturally took it on.

I just felt like we needed
a good organization,

and I'm good at that.

I'm still feeling
confident today.

I loved what I presented
for my commercial,

and hopefully the Ru gods
are in favor of me today.

- How you feeling?

- Really good.

- Everybody's confident.

- Everyone's so confident.

Everyone did so good,
and no one's concerned

about being in the bottom.

Somebody's lying.

- How you feeling, girly pop?

- I think I'm just nervous
because it's elimination day.

Naturally, I just have nerves.

But I did really good
yesterday.

- Yeah.

- The other team is asking me
these piercing questions

about, how do you feel, girl?

How do you feel?

And I'm getting the vibe
that they think

I'm going to be put in
the bottom, which I'm not,

because I killed
my music video.

And I really do love
my runway look,

so I think I'm going to do
really good today.

I'm really excited.

- Damn, everyone
is feeling great.

- Everyone is feeling good.

- Like, girl.

- Did anybody start
doing drag on Halloween?

Was that your first time?

- That is so tired.

- I did.

- Oh, Suzie.

Oh, she's a Halloween queen.

Now everybody say "shame."

- Shame.
- Shame.

- And did anybody else,
like, start drag

because of necessity, or was it
just out of you could?

- I mean, for me,
I started doing drag

for a different necessity.

Like for me, it was more of
like a gender expression.

- Yeah.

- Because I didn't
have the ability,

like, to walk around
with long hair,

and I didn't have
the ability to wear

girls' clothes in public.

So at first, it was with dolls.

Like I had dolls
that I could, like,

have all of the clothes for.

- See, I wasn't allowed
to touch a doll.

I wasn't allowed
to even look at one.

- Uh-oh.

We getting real.

- That is probably only a tenth
of the worst parts of my life

that has happened so far.

I was two weeks away from
my 18th birthday, and my mom

found out about my boyfriend.

She told me that I had
to find a home, faggot.

And she threw
a phone book at me,

and I disappeared in the middle
of the night, girl.

I packed a bag up.

I threw my stuff out a window--

girl, like in a movie.

And, uh, at that moment,
I was just

like, I'm not looking back.

I was a gay runaway,
and I found a drag mom.

And she goes, I have
a place that you can stay in,

but I'm kind of
down and out as well.

There was like five of us,
actually, that lived there

and all did drag.

But I started doing drag
immediately to survive.

I ended up living in
an abandoned house--

no electricity,
no running water.

There was no bathroom.

And there was
a lot of milk jugs

that turned into urine bottles.

But the level of comfort
that I actually

obtained from just
being able to be myself

was totally worth it.

I don't want you guys to
think, like, that I come in

and say baby queens
this, baby queens that.

I'm reading you, but I'm not
reading you to be shitty.

Like, you have to understand,
baby queens in my day

were queens that were
fighting to stay alive.

Drag was my main
source of income.

It was not a hobby.

It was not something
to do for fun.

It was something to do
to keep me fed and alive.

It's just a different beast
when it's born out of that.

It's just a completely
different fire.

- I did drag for
a different necessity,

but your story is insane.

- Yeah.

- Hearing this, it does
break my heart a bit.

But to see her
overcome all of that

and come out stronger and
better, I look up to her a lot.

- And it's stories like that
that need to be heard.

- We need to write the story.

- We need to write.

We write the stories, honey.

- What's your concept
for the runway today?

- I like to show my
African heritage,

so I'm doing quilted kente
cloth wrapped around my body.

- Cool.

- It's really pretty.

I'm excited.
- Onya.

- Ma'am.

- I have a question for you.

- What's up?

- So sometimes, like,
in my personal drag,

I have trouble, like,
connecting with my culture.

And like, I noticed that you
take a lot of inspiration

from yours.

Like, what inspires that?

Tell me about it.

- It kind of started
in college.

I, like, got more educated
on, like, race,

heritage, queerness,
and it started

to inform my artwork a lot.

My advice to you is just, like,
remember where the fuck you

come from--not only, like,
the American you

but, like, your heritage.

It can inform you and your
drag so, so, so, so much.

- For a long time in my life,
people have made fun of me

for embracing my culture.

So I've always just been
obsessed with, like,

whitewashing myself
and making myself

connect with my Western peers.

- Honestly, it's a white
world we live in, baby.

But show them bitches
what China is all about.

You know what I mean?

- Honey, yes.

- Don't let your entrance
look be the last bit

of Chinese culture I see.

Do you speak Mandarin?

- I do speak Mandarin.

- Throw some shade in Mandarin.

- What'd you just call me?

- You're ugly.

That means you're so ugly.

- Yes.

Bitch.

- You barely get English.

Let's slow down.

Cover girl

Put the bass in your walk

Head to toe

Let your whole body talk

And what

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

She's your favorite judge's
favorite judge,

Michelle Visage.

Now, Michelle, what was the
first record you ever bought?

- Kenny Rogers, "The Gambler."

- Wow, rock on.

- Yeah.

Style superstar
Carson Kressley.

What's the first record
you ever bought?

- I bought the "Xanadu"
soundtrack.

Ooh.

And our extra special
guest judge,

Julia Schlaepfer.

What was your first record
or unit of music?

- It was Britney Spears,
"Oops, I Did It Again."

- Oh, my goodness.

And did you?

- I sure did, Ru.

- This week,
we challenged our queens

to create a commercial for

"Bitch, I'm a Drag Queen,"
Volumes 1 and 2.

Tonight on the runway,
category is

Quilted For Your Pleasure.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best
drag queen win.

Hustle that kitty

You say you want to win it

Category is
Quilted For Your Pleasure.

Up first,
Lydia "Butthole" Kollins.

- My Amish nightmare.

- I'm not the crazy cat lady.

I'm the couch that the crazy
cat lady lets her cats pee on.

It smells musty and a little
hint of Werther's Originals.

- Don't sleep on this queen.

- She got this at
Bed, Butthole, and Beyond.

Lana Ja'Rae.

- Oh, I love whore-igami.

- I decided to represent
this theme

by being as
colorful as possible

because when I think of
quilts, I think of color.

I'm wearing a very unique
silhouette, very cinched

at the waist,
and the waist is 20 inches.

Get the measuring tape.

- Quilty as charged.

- Joella.

- Would you look at the size
of that glory hole?

- I can half see
where I'm going.

I am a gigantic quilt blanket.

And then bam.

- Oh.

- I do a lot of big,
campy shit.

And this look, if it's one
thing, it is camp, honey.

- Comforter?

I don't even know her.

- Arrietty.

- Ah, the "sheometry"
of it all.

- OK.

- I'm serving
a black and white and red

quilted eleganza.

It has structure, it has
latex, it has drapery.

Get into the fantasy.

- Sleeve Arrietty alone.

- Jewels Sparkles.

- She's from the quilted age.

- I'm feeling like
a super villain

in this super, super,
super villainous look.

I have this super
avant-garde sleeve moment.

It is gorgeous.

- You put the ass
in quilting class.

Hor-mona Lisa.

- From the Amish Miami
Beach collection.

- This garment is
quilted to the nines,

just like your
grandmama would do.

I am paying homage

to Dolly Parton's
"Coat of Many Colors."

It's just plumb cute.

- She puts the men
in Mennonite.

Crystal Envy.

- You made your bed.

Now walk around wearing it.

- My coat is inspired by

Gigi Hadid's
Met Gala Versace dress.

- Ooh.

- I'm also giving you
Larry the Lobster arms,

which I'm kind of living for.

Teehee.

- If you quilt it,
they will come.

All over your tits.

Suzie Toot.

- I am wearing a "Lord
of the Rings" fantasy-inspired

golden headdress,
a quilted patchworked gown

in burgundies and maroons.

And I think I'm eating
this runway the fuck up.

- If the glove don't filt,
you must acquilt.

- Thank you.

- Sam Star.

- It's the worst case of
bed head I've ever seen.

- Ever.

- I'm giving you a fabulous
headpiece that's my pillow

as I sleep the runway away,
my sleeping bag-inspired gown,

and, of course,
my fabulous teddy bear--

matching, of course.

- What's your sleep number?

69.

- Acacia Forgot.

You know where she's
going on vacation?

- Where?

- Doilywood.

- I made this dress out of
quilts made by my mother.

I accessorized it with
my grandmother's trunk.

And my wig is
adorned with doilies

made by my great-grandmother.

- And she's the number-one
Amish saleswoman for Mary Kay.

- Onya "Last" Nurve.

- Ooh.

- What we have here is
African quilts that are

pieced together
square by square.

My Afro is tied up with this
beautiful quilted head wrap.

And, bitch, I feel Black,
and, bitch, I feel beautiful.

- That's right,
Mrs. Barry White.

Hey.

Lexi Love.

- Has anyone seen
my wastebasket?

- I feel like the most
sickening guard outside

of the Fashion Institute.

The rhinestone detail
is immaculate.

There is even little
black rhinestones

in the crisscross of every
single quilted stitch.

- Talk about a merry widow.

- Does anyone still
wear a bucket?

- Kori "Scott" King.

She is racked with quilt.

- Quilted gives family.

So I did want my drag family
to create this outfit.

I am wearing a quilted hat,
a quilted top,

a quilted long train.

I shake my titties
because that's my hi to Ru,

and she lives.

- I think she knows
the meaning of memory foam.

Welcome, queens.

Let's take a look
at your commercials.

First up, "Bitch,
I'm a Drag Queen," Volume 1.

- This is the collection
you've been waiting for.

It's "Bitch,
I'm a Drag Queen," Volume 1.

Yesterday's drag hits
performed by today's

hottest drag superstars.

Take a walk down memory lane
with hits like this.

Honey, you're so goddamn loud

That no one can get
in a fucking word

Sweetie, I don't give a damn

Don't need to fix my mug

You're on my nerves

No class, no manners

You piss me off some more

I'll whoop your ass

No class, no manners

Bitch, I am from Chicago

I am from Chicago

Watch your back

- She's from Chicago
- I'm from Chicago

- Fall in love all over again.

At the end of the day

As long as we have a pump,
a piece of hair

Some jewelry, and some
trash, we will come

We will come up
with an effect

We are the ones

We are the motivators,
creators, the crusaders

It is time to take back
the power

Take back our glory

We write the stories

We write the stories

Oh, we write the stories

We write the stories

Oh, we write the stories

We write the stories

Oh, we write the stories

We write the stories

- Yes.

- And that's not all.

If I was to judge you

If I was to judge you

I'd judge your makeup

Your lack of talent

Your phoniness

But I won't

I'd judge that body

Where them shoulders
should match them hips

But they don't, so

Rolls all over the place
in the back

It was disgusting,
that's a fact

This queen is
trying to come for me today

Back rolls

Rolls all over the
place in the back

It was disgusting,
that's a fact

This queen is
trying to come for me today

Back rolls

- But wait, there's more.

- Shannel, who should be
eliminated tonight?

I'm so glad you
asked me this question

I nominate myself

'Cause I don't want
to be here anymore

I don't want to be here

I'm frustrated

I feel like you don't
get my whole deal

Been judged so hard
but I'm so fucking real

I am beautiful

I nominate

Myself

- And who could forget
this classic?

I thought that
Snatch Game was

The most romper room
fuckery

That I've ever experienced
in my life

Unprofessional

Childish

Unprofessional

Childish

Far too much

Good God, get a grip, girl

Good God,
get a grip, girl

Good God, get a grip, girl

Unprofessional

Five Gs

Good God, get a grip, girl

Good God,
get a grip, girl

Of unprofessionalism

That is not what
I came here to do

- "Bitch, I'm a Drag Queen,"
Volume 1.

Not available in stores.

- Yay.

- Next up, "Bitch,
I'm a Drag Queen," Volume 2.

- More of yesterday's drag
hits performed by today's

hottest drag superstars.

It's "Bitch,
I'm a Drag Queen," Volume 2.

Turn back time
with hits like this.

You're perfect,
you're beautiful

You look like
Linda Evangelista

Perfect, you're beautiful

Every single time
the judges see you

Look at that smile

You're always in style

Did you stone those tights

Is that a diaper

Valentina

You're perfect,
you're beautiful

You look like
Linda Evangelista

Perfect, you're beautiful

Everybody in here
wants to be you

You don't even have to do

Anything

- Turn up the party.

I'm arrogant

I'm arrogant

Am I arrogant to you

Little girl

You're arrogant

You're arrogant

That is not BS, it's true

Little girl

I just got called arrogant

Of course I'm defensive
and fucking upset

You can get
the fuck out of here

If you don't possess
star quality

Like I said, it's not BS

Been at it 30 years

But I don't forget

It does not change that

I said what I said

And I'm blessed
with star quality

Star quality

Little girl

- And that's not all.

Hey, hey, hey,
put your lighters up

Ganja's in the house

OK

It was not very easy
growing up looking this way

I was g-g-gay

Bop bop doobie
doo nana lala

Bop bop a doobie
da marijuana

I like to smoke

That is what I said

If it ain't green,
I'm not interested

Can I get an amen

It's very dry.

Kind of like your vagina.

- But wait, there's even more.

I'm not worried about you

What I'm selling is not
what you're selling

This is your moment

The stage is here

So have your show

I'll destroy you in
this lip sync, though

But take it

This is your moment

You're going to sashay,
and that's fine

But have the spotlight

It's your time to make it

This is your moment

- Classics after classics.

After a long night of hooking

Trade didn't
like the session

So he gutted me
and set me on fire

But I didn't die

I had crystallized

Now I'm a glamazon bitch

Ready for the runway

Glamazon bitch

I'm going to die
another day

Glamazon bitch

It's giving chicken
living the dream

Oh, yes,
I'm a glamazon bitch

The resurrected
poultry queen

Glamazon

Glamazon

- Oh, my God.

Oh, oh

- "Bitch, I'm a Drag Queen,"
Volume 2.

May cause vaginal dryness.

- Yes, yes.

- "Bitch, I'm a Drag Queen,
Volumes 1 and 2"

are now available
on all music platforms.

Now, queens,
I've made some decisions.

This week you worked
as teams, but tonight

you'll be judged individually.

Lydia "Butthole" Kollins.

Lana Ja'Rae.

Jewels Sparkles.

Hor-mona Lisa.

Sam Star.

Acacia Forgot.

Lexi Love.

You...

are all safe.

You may leave the stage.

Ladykins, you represent

the tops and bottoms
of the week.

Now it's time for
the judges' critiques.

Up first, Joella.

- You got to do
the Mariah Paris Balenciaga

reinterpretation, and I
thought you put your whole self

into it, which is one thing
I really like about you,

Joella, is you go for it.

- Possibly you could have
started with a bit more energy,

and I think
you would have gotten

more laughs from the beginning
and drawn people in even more.

- On the runway,
this is where you lost me.

Now, I love a gag, but we
can't really see your face.

- Yeah, you're the star
of your drag.

And if we're trying
to find out where you are,

that's a problem.

- Up next, Arrietty.

- In the commercial, I thought
you two were very cute.

I think that
Jewels kind of just

edged you out a little bit.

Always remember that
you need to be the star.

- The look tonight,
it's so incredible

to piece apart all
the different aspects

of what you've got going on.

But, yeah, I just wish
I was seeing a quilt.

- Explain the white nose to me.

- It's a signature of mine.

I honestly feel like
the most beautiful with it.

- OK.

I would never try
to change who you are,

but I would love
to see you give us

something that is not that.

It's all about versatility
and not

painting yourself to look like
you're in "Cats" every episode.

- All right.

Up next, Crystal Envy.

- Let's talk about
your commercial.

- Yes.

- I thought it was
very unprofessional--

- In the best possible way

because that was
the whole idea.

You knew how to work
with your castmates

to make the best product
in the end.

- Tonight on the runway,
this is delicious.

- Thank you.

- I'm obsessed with
everything that you're doing.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you.

- The extra detail on the legs
is really special

because you have
the quilt happening already,

and you're like, let me
give you more.

- Yeah, baby.

- Up next, Suzie Toot.

- Your performance was hot.

That was iconic.

The guitar at the end
was hilarious.

- This look, yeah,
quilts are about things

that are stitched together.

This is kind of like
a 1930s tramp art

quilt that was really popular.

I was alive then, so I know.

- The first few episodes
I was like,

you paint yourself
very Betty Boop.

So when I saw you in this,
I was like,

you, this was gorgeous.

I know sometimes
we get stuck in our ways

that we feel confident,
and I get that.

Push yourself out.

Take those risks.

And tonight you did,
and it paid off.

- Thank you.

- Up next, Onya Nurve.

- Different cultures
have different quilts,

and this is so beautiful
what you've done.

- Do you know
who Glodean White is?

- I do not.

- She was married
to Barry White.

You know who Barry White is.
- I do.

- Yeah, they were
in a girl group

called Love Unlimited that
Barry White put together.

And you resemble her.

- But I think what
really sold this look

for me was your presentation.

It is a masterclass in
having stage presence.

And the same thing translated
to your commercial.

Your voice was beyond.

I don't know if you have
a cabaret act, but you should.

- You grabbed the camera,
and I was just sucked in.

It was watching
a seasoned professional.

So great job.

- Up next,
Kori King in the house.

- In the commercial,
I'm not really sure

where the storyline was going.

- Yeah, I think it was
that lack of point of view.

And there was a lot
of comedy there when

you were trying to get up.

It should have been funny,
but for some reason,

it wasn't getting the laughs.

- These colors look
beautiful on you.

But one thing I want you to be
aware of when you turn around,

and we see the bib kind
of coming up above,

it kind of takes you out of the
fantasy when you see the split.

- Now, who made this outfit?

- My good, good sister,
Plane Jane and Big Atlas.

- The train doesn't
sort of follow.

I mean, it sort of
just lumps there.

We kept waiting for it to
sort of spread out the train.

- I'll let Plane
and Atlas know.

- You hear that?

Bodysuit, my ass.

- Thank you, queens.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

All right.

Now, just between
us squirrel friends,

I want to know what you think.

Starting with Joella.

- Do you really want
to know what I think?

- Yes, I do.

- I don't know why
she would waste her time

on the main stage
of "RuPaul's Drag Race"

wearing that.

- Mm.

- Something about her,
her little personality

and her performance,
really makes me smile.

But the quilt was just
not doing it for me.

- Arrietty.

- This commercial
for me really, like,

kind of threw me for a loop.

I just think
she's such a strong queen,

and she let Jewels
kind of get the best of her.

- That runway look to me,
it was cool.

It was interesting.

It just didn't meet the memo
of what you asked for.

- Listen, her outfit
was "gor-gee-ous."

It wasn't quilted,
I tell you that much.

Crystal Envy.

- Now, this one was
a home run on the runway.

My goodness,
she came out here,

we were all mouths agape.

- Yes, I was gaping
all over the place.

- Oh, my God.

- That's every day, Carson.

- And in the commercial,
she was so much fun.

- There wasn't
much to it, but her use

of the other queens and
the execution--just fantastic.

Suzie Toot.

- I am a Suzie Toot fan
through and through.

I love how kind of unafraid
to be bizarre she is.

- I think before
she was getting herself

into this Betty Boop pattern,

and it doesn't really
look good on her.

Sometimes we see ourselves
and we say, ooh, girl,

you look good.

And the truth of the matter is,
you don't.

- Sometimes somebody
has to tell you.

- Michelle, can I
have a word with you?

- Please do.

I would always want to be told.

- All right.

Put your lighters up
for Onya Nurve.

- Onya Nurve is a triple,
quadruple threat,

and she proved that this week.

Her acting was incredible.

- You were watching,
you thought

you were the only person
in the room,

and she was singing
just to you.

- And then on the runway,
her version of quilted

was very Africana.

It was very strong
Black excellence.

- That silhouette,
that huge Afro,

I thought it was
just fantastic.

Kori "Scott" King.

- The commercial just
did not resonate with me.

I didn't understand it.

She was rolling
around in feathers

and then getting hit
with eggs.

Like, I just couldn't
put the pieces together.

- The yoke's on us.

- OK, I won't lie,
Kori King made me giggle.

Did the story fully
make sense?

No.

But it tickled me.

- On the runway,
there were some problems

I found with the outfit.

I felt that with those wide
hips, she needed wider hair.

- I thought it was a good look
except for that, you know,

bulky train that looked like
it had a dead body in it.

- I think Plane Jane
sabotaged her.

That's what I'm saying.

- That's what it was.
- Yes.

Took that burger finger
and put it in that cape.

- All right.

Silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Joella, this week
you didn't wear the mattress.

The mattress wore you.

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

- Not again.

- Onya Nurve, tonight,

your pussy was jazz hot.

Condragulations,
you're the winner

of this week's challenge.

I mean, y'all knew
I was gonna win.

And I'm so proud of myself.

Ah!

Thank you.

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

- Oh, oh, ow.

- You may join the other girls.

- Thank you.

- Yes.

- Crystal Envy, Suzie Toot,
you are both safe.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- You may join the other girls.

Arrietty, in "Back Rolls,"

you were more of
a supporting role.

Kori King, this week,
your eggs did not go over easy.

Arrietty...

you are safe.

- You may join the other girls.

Kori King, I'm sorry, my dear,
but you are up for elimination.

- Ah, I'm so pissed.

I just didn't expect myself
to fall flat

on a challenge like this.

- Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your
last chance to impress me

and save yourself
from elimination.

- I feel the fire
burning at my feet.

I need to serve.

I need to lip sync with
my whole entire body and soul.

- The time has come for you

to lip sync for your life.

- The adrenaline is
starting to hit my veins,

and I am looking at Joella
in a literal mattress.

So I'm very comfortable
sending her home right now.

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

What it do, baby boo

Yeah, lil mama,
you looking good

I see you wanna play with
a player from the hood

Come holla at me,
you got it like that

Big Snoop Dogg with
the lead pussycat

I show you how it go down

Yeah, I want to throw that
- Joella.

I think she's trying
to make it look

like RuPaul is lip syncing,
but it's flailing.

I'm not going to lie.

Loosen up
my buttons, babe

But you keep frontin'

Say what you gon' do to me

But I ain't seen nothing

Typical ain't hardly
the type I fall for

I like when the physical

Don't leave me
asking for more

I'm a sexy mama

Who knows just how
to get what I wanna

What I wanna do is
spring this on you

Back up all the things
that I told you

Loosen up my buttons, babe

But you keep frontin'

Saying what you
gonna do to me

But I ain't seen nothing

I'm telling you to loosen
up my buttons, babe

But you keep frontin'

Saying what
you gon' do to me

But I ain't seen nothing

Now you can get
what you want

But I need what I need

And let me tell you
what's crackalackin'

'Fore I proceed

I'm gonna show you
where to put it at

PCD on me

Yeah, I thought
I saw a puddy cat

Now I roll
with the big dog

All six of y'all on me

- Viewing audience at home,
Joella does not know a word

to this Snoop Dogg verse.

Loosen up my
buttons, babe

Loosen up my buttons, babe

Would you loosen up
my buttons, babe

Loosen up my buttons

I'm telling you loosen up
my buttons, babe

But you keep frontin'

Saying what
you gon' do to me

But I ain't seen nothing

I'm telling you to loosen
up my buttons, babe

But you keep frontin'

Saying what you
gon' do to me

But I ain't seen nothing

- Yes. Come on, Kori.

- Come on, Kori.

Come on, Joella.

- Queens,
I've made my decision.

Kori King...

shantay, you stay.

- Yes, Kori.

- You may join the other girls.

- Joella, you have one
last chance to Badonka Dunk

your way back into
this competition.

Are you feeling lucky?

- I'm feeling very lucky.

- Send in the clown.

Joella, before you
are eight levers.

One of those levers
will drop Michelle Visage

into the Badonka Dunk tank,

presented by Las Vegas.

Joella, which lever
will you pull?

- I'm so scared right now.

- I'm really hoping that
she picks the wrong lever.

Because no offense,
Miss Joella, but the writing

is on the wall for you.

I think it's your time to go.

- Oh.

- Aw.

Joella, I'm sorry, my dear,
but you did not

save yourself from elimination.

But you are leaving here
with a trip

to the entertainment capital
of the world

because Vegas is good for you.

Joella, you are and will
always be a Ru Girl.

Now, sashay away.

- Thank you so much
for everything.

- Love you, Joella.

- Well, at least I didn't die
a local girl.

I feel so grateful
that I've been

a part of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

One of my biggest dreams
has come true.

I mean, I thought it would go
a little bit different,

but I made it here, bitches.

So let's celebrate.

And also,
don't forget the ella.

- Condragulations, queens.

And remember,
if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell you going
to love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

Amen.

- All right,
now let the music play.

They want to see
you let it out

I know you wanna work,
they want to see you go off

I know you want to work

You know I am in business

Come, let's give 'em
just what they want

They want to see you work

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

You'll be performing
in "RDR Live!"

- Is this thing on?

- Pay me my money, RuRu.

- You were so funny.

- We know you have it,
but you didn't bring it.

- It obviously sucks to not win
when you get, like, so close.

- I feel like a lot of girls
are mad that I won this week.

You better watch out.

Work they want to
see you let it out

I know you want to work,
they want to see you go off

I know you want to work,
you know I am in business

Come, let's give them
just what they want

They want to see you work

They want to see you
let it out

I know you want to work,
they want to see you go off

I know you want to work,
you know I am in business

Come, let's give them
just what they want

They want to see you
work, work, work

I know you want to
work, work, work

Work, work,
work, work, work

Work, work, work,
work, work

Work, work, work,
work, work

I know you want to
work, work, work, work, work
