- 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"
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,

With extra-special guest judge Julia Schlaepfer.
"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
