RuPaul's Drag Race 13x6

1. Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race...

2. We're having a bag ball.

3. Joey Jay.

4. I can tell by looking at this

5. you're not the sewer.

6. LaLa Ri.

7. It's some bags that were glued onto a bodysuit.

8. Yeah, that's not gonna work.

9. Utica.

10. You have continuously upped the fashion,

11. and I think tonight was no exception.

12. Gottmik.

13. You have a really good taste level

14. that transcended all three of the looks.

15. Con-drag-ulations. You are the winner of this week's challenge.

16. Oh, my God.

17. LaLa Ri, shantay you stay.

18. Joey Jay, sashay away.

19. - Whew! - My Lord.

20. That was a long runway.

21. Category is our clothes.

22. What a day.

23. My boyfriend-to-be was just sent home, Joey Jay.

24. I'm so sad!

25. "I'm a gay-ass bitch. I'm who?

26. - Joey Jay." - Joey Jay."

27. So, LaLa, I'm not gonna come for you,

28. but you sent my man home.

29. Listen, bitch, Joey's cute,

30. and I definitely have a big-ass crush on him,

31. and I most for sure

32. will sleep with the bitch when we meet again

33. after I win this competition.

34. When all of us were in Untucked, it got crazy.

35. There's a lot of unfinished business.

36. So Untucked, ladies, was really eventful.

37. - Girl. - Bitch, it's about to be

38. like an Atlanta strip club up in here, bitch,

39. with bottles flying and fists flying

40. and wigs everywhere, baby.

41. I think there's a difference between being arrogant

42. and being confident who the fuck you are.

43. There's a difference, but you ain't...

44. You're not being confident, you're being arrogant.

45. Girl, get the fuck out of here with that bull shit.

46. That's not bull shit, that's a fact.

47. You literally walked in here

48. and said, "I don't like some of you girls

49. because you arrogant and got nasty attitudes."

50. I said what I said.

51. If you don't have star quality, get the fuck outta here.

52. Girl, star quality?

53. Bitches in here is mother fucking trying me,

54. and I'm to pop the fuck off.

55. Cause you're going to call me arrogant

56. what any of the bottom girls have to say about me,

57. because I'm staying here safe.

58. Suck it, bitch.

59. Take me out right now!

60. How's everybody feeling about that now?

61. I guess I felt defensive.

62. I guess I was going the fuck off.

63. I was mad, I was upset.

64. I thought we was cool, and then out of nowhere

65. you don't like me, which is, like, news to me.

66. I feel like it was blown out of proportion.

67. Tamisha is honest, she is who she is,

68. and if she has a problem with someone, she's gonna tell them.

69. Whereas with Kandy, she can dish it

70. but she has a difficult time taking it,

71. and she gets very defensive.

72. She came in, was nasty, and got what she deserved back.

73. I said y'all are doing amazing,

74. even though it's some girls I don't care for.

75. That's what I said.

76. No, what you said was

77. I don't like some of you girls,

78. but you girls did good in the ball challenge.

79. Because I've been doing drag for just so long...

80. That's not what I said.

81. That's what you heard,

82. but that's not what I said.

83. I'm making shit up, girl. Roll back the fucking tape.

84. That's literally what you said.

85. It's a couple of you girls I really don't care for,

86. but I have to commend you on your drag.

87. I'm one to give props where props are due.

88. And I still say it's a couple of girls in here I don't care for,

89. because you have some really nasty attitudes or whatever.

90. But that's just me personally.

91. She just said, "I don't care for some of y'all,"

92. - but that was in... - That's what I said.

93. That's what I said.

94. And then I said, "Who are you talking about?"

95. - And then you said, "You." - What you mean, bitch?

96. Don't ask a question you don't want an answer to.

97. May I ask, where did it come from?

98. What was that about?

99. Since we have entered the werkroom

100. with the girls that all eliminated us,

101. what I have seen and what have been discussed...

102. Even if the other group that was eliminated and came back

103. was talking about us,

104. whatever the other girls feel some type of way about me,

105. two of them is already gone and our entire group is still here.

106. That is what I'm talking about.

107. Kandy just showed me point-blank, period

108. that you feel like every member in the A team

109. is better than B team.

110. Last week, Kandy stood up

111. and said, "Symone is my biggest competition,"

112. like we wasn't in the room.

113. You're only gonna rank yourself amongst your girls,

114. and that's the thing that's disheartening,

115. because it's a competition amongst all of us.

116. Like I said, we don't gotta kiki, we don't gotta talk.

117. Girl, we don't even gotta be sisters,

118. just we're in the same competition.

119. Don't look my way, I won't look your way.

120. Don't speak to me, I won't speak to you.

121. I don't need you to tell me that.

122. I'm a grown-ass woman.

123. You don't need to tell me that.

124. But nevertheless, what I said is what I said.

125. So with that being said,

126. I wanna get out of drag, so let's end it.

127. Goodbye, good night.

128. - What's for dinner? - What's for dinner?

129. Atlanta people don't take no shit

130. and Brooklyn people don't take no shit.

131. It's about to get real interesting from here on out.

132. At the end of the day, the pageant has started.

133. We gonna see the best man win.

134. At this moment, Tamisha's dead to me.

135. I don't wanna hear about it.

136. All of my girls that are rooting for me,

137. I love them to death.

138. For everyone else that has something to say about me...

139. Kandy's cockiness is going to bite her in the ass.

140. So just like you in the winner's circle,

141. it's easy to get in the loser's circle, so, heh.

142. Bitch, I said what I said.

143. The winner ofRuPaul's Drag Race

144. receives a one-year supply

145. of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics,

146. and a cash prize of $100,000.

147. With extra-special guest judge Loni Love.

148. - Go on, bitch, get outta here. - Oh, my God.

149. Today is a new day,

150. and the mood in the werkroom is hella awkward

151. because we fully had the bad girls club brawl last week.

152. And I don't think we ever really found,

153. like, a happy place to go back to.

154. So can we just say, like, it's a brand-new week

155. and we can just, like, leave everything in the past

156. that we went through last week?

157. Absolutely.

158. Can we just start fresh?

159. I mean, wishful thinking.

160. I mean, wishful thinking.

161. Ooh, girl.

162. She done already done had herses.

163. - Let's go, bitch. - Let's go!

164. Hey, bad girls.

165. Whether you're hot stuff or a superfreak,

166. if you wanna stay alive,

167. you betta shake that groove thing, girl,

168. or this could be your last dance.

169. Toot-toot, hey.

170. Oh, my God.

171. Hello, hello, hello!

172. - Hi! - Come on, ascot!

173. I'm your host, RuPaul Charles Nelson Reilly.

174. Oh!

175. Oh!

176. America's next drag superstar

177. must never fade into the background,

178. so for today's mini-challenge,

179. you'll be working in pairs

180. to create eye-popping designer dresses

181. using wallpaper provided by Spoonflower.com.

182. Now, to prove your design doesn't blend in,

183. one of you will be modeling the dress

184. in front of a wall of matching wallpaper.

185. And the other will provide fashion commentary.

186. Now, I need you all to pair up,

187. but choose carefully, because whoever you choose

188. will be your partner for both today's mini-challenge

189. and this week's maxi-challenge.

190. Now, Gottmik, you were our winner last week,

191. so you get to wait and join the pair of your choice.

192. Oh, my.

193. Oh, oh, oh!

194. Oh! Oh! Oh!

195. Now, raise your hand.

196. Do you know who Charles Nelson Reilly is?

197. No, no one. Okay.

198. Fuck all of you.

199. Okay, queens, pick a partner.

200. Oh. Olivia was first. Sorry.

201. Sure, yes.

202. So at the bottom of the barrel is myself and Tamisha.

203. Same shit, different day.

204. All right, Gottmik,

205. which couple will you be turning into a throuple?

206. Oh, I think I'm gonna go with Kandy and Tina.

207. - Ooh! - Ooh!

208. Oh, my God, drum roll.

209. Who is Mik gonna pick?

210. Oh, my God, this is so nerve-wracking.

211. Of course you're gonna fucking pick me and Kandy.

212. Don't even try it, sis.

213. Okay, queens, you have 30 minutes

214. to create your wallpaper dresses. Go!

215. Oh, we're sickening now. Okay, good to know.

216. Okay, does this cover my hole?

217. Yep.

218. All right, time's up, wallflowers.

219. First up, Tina Burner, Kandy Muse, and Gottmik.

220. From a drag queen who likes it raw,

221. everyone looks fishy

222. in this design we're calling Catch of the Day.

223. You'll never blend into the background.

224. You'll tuna roll all over it.

225. That last joke made me feel a little eel.

226. Aah!

227. Up next, Rosé and Denali.

228. Here's Button Foster.

229. Zipper? I hardly flipper!

230. I like big buttons, and I cannot lie.

231. Up next, Tamisha Iman and Elliott With 2 Ts.

232. What's the matter, Carole Baskin got your tongue?

233. - Did you say Carole Baskin? - Carole Baskin.

234. Oh, that bitch. I hate her.

235. The Tiger King has nothing on the House of Food Stamps.

236. This is the same dress Carole Baskin wore

237. when she kidnapped her husband... allegedly.

238. The one-of-a-kind dress

239. smells like Joe's exotic bedroom.

240. This dress is giving me jungle fever.

241. Rawr.

242. Up next, Olivia Lux and Utica.

243. Just in time for allergy season, it's Utica Queen

244. in our growing new dress design, photosynethe-sis.

245. This bitch is crazy.

246. Bitch, where are you going?

247. Jesus, take the bouquet.

248. And finally, LaLa Ri and Symone.

249. Fresh from the oven, here's LaLa Ri

250. in the perfect design to fire up your pepperoni.

251. Oh, I can tell she's a meat lover.

252. Easy, cheesy, peasy. Pizza girl!

253. Okay, I'll take a slice.

254. Oh!

255. Nice work, ladies,

256. but one team really sheetrocked this shit.

257. Tamisha Iman and Elliott With 2 Ts, con-drag-ulations.

258. You've each won a $2,500 gift card

259. to spend on customized home decor at Spoonflower.com.

260. Werk!

261. Bitch!

262. Okay, queens, now that you're already partnered up,

263. it's time to hit the dance floor.

264. For this week's maxi-challenge,

265. you'll be making a dancing documentary

266. about the beat that defined a generation of liberation.

267. I'm talking disco, baby.

268. Now, in the seventies, disco was about freedom, divas,

269. and bringing funky people together.

270. Aow!

271. Kinda like Drag Race does today.

272. So to bring the world's first disco-mentary to life,

273. you'll need to learn choreography,

274. and more importantly, embody the spirit of disco.

275. Now, each team will be covering a different chapter.

276. Tina, Kandy, and Gottmik,

277. you're covering the birth of disco.

278. Elliott and Tamisha, you've got disco and sex.

279. Oh!

280. Olivia Lux and Utica, Studio 54.

281. Denali and Rosé, disco fashion!

282. - Oh, cute. - Ooh!

283. LaLa Ri and Symone, you've got disco sucks.

284. Okay.

285. You know how to suck, don't you?

286. - Sho' do. - Oh, my.

287. Hey, are y'all ready to boogie-oogie-oogie?

288. - Yes! - Yes!

289. Racers, start your engines,

290. and may the best dancing queen win.

291. Yay, dancing challenges!

292. This is what I do.

293. I feel very underestimated

294. in this competition by the other girls,

295. but this is my moment

296. to let them know who they dealing with.

297. Coming up...

298. I think I'm holding on a bit too much.

299. I still feel like I haven't let my guard fully down.

300. If you were closer to me, I'd slap you.

301. Girl, come on, disco inferno.

302. I think, like, finger dancing.

303. This week's maxi-challenge is a disco-mentary.

304. And then roll it.

305. I love disco, I love dancing.

306. It is my challenge to win.

307. So we gonna be telling the story of disco

308. through dance, baby, yes.

309. This just feels like home.

310. When I hear disco, it just sends, like,

311. a little sensation through my body, like, ooh, hah!

312. Baby, she make you wanna move.

313. Jeez, that hair actually makes Tina look small.

314. Tina, your hair finally makes you look small.

315. I mean, if I stand next to LaLa, I'll be good.

316. Huh?

317. - Hi! - Yay!

318. Who's got boogie fever?

319. - Yes! - Boogie-woogie!

320. All right, Denali and Rosé, come on down.

321. - Hi. - Hi.

322. So what made you gravitate together?

323. You know, we both come from dancing,

324. choreography backgrounds,

325. so we just really get counts and music

326. and everything like that.

327. Right.

328. Not only can we show off what we can do,

329. but we can really push it,

330. because she's at a similar level to me.

331. So you all are representing disco fashion.

332. Yes, we are.

333. I used to work on cruise ships,

334. and they would make us spotlight

335. and work on a lot of the production shows.

336. And one of them was Saturday Night Fever,

337. so I'm very versed in Bee Gees and their music.

338. So you worked on a cruise ship.

339. There's no ice skating on cruise ships.

340. There is, actually.

341. - Ice skating? - Yeah.

342. Oh, you fully ice skated on a cruise ship?

343. I did, yeah.

344. There were ice rinks,

345. and they would employ 10 skaters from all around the world,

346. and we would do production shows for the guests on board.

347. It was a lot of fun.

348. But the boat is rocking while you're performing,

349. and it's hard to do a spin.

350. Yeah, we would spin, we would jump, we did it all.

351. Wow. Now, Rosé, you came very close last week

352. to actually winning.

353. How are you gonna make sure that you win this week?

354. Fuckin' let go.

355. I think I'm holding on a bit too much.

356. And I'm doing well.

357. I've been in the top three weeks in a row now.

358. But, like, I still feel like I haven't let my guard fully down

359. in front of you all.

360. You know, I think you're absolutely right.

361. - Yeah. - Because there's a feeling

362. that you're saying to the judges,

363. you ain't gonna get me.

364. You ain't gonna break me down.

365. And it's a strategy,

366. but it doesn't allow people to fall in love with you.

367. You're clearly very talented,

368. but people fall in love

369. out of honesty and vulnerability.

370. I can't make it perfect,

371. so I gotta stop trying to make it perfect.

372. - Yeah, perfect is overrated. - Yeah.

373. Perfect is actually kind of boring.

374. - Yeah. - When you are in a disco

375. and you've got the lights going

376. and you're dancing around and you're connecting to that beat,

377. something magical happens.

378. This is an opportunity for you to just let it all hang out.

379. All right, I can't wait to see you.

380. - Thank you, Ru. - Thank you, Ru.

381. All right, Symone, LaLa Ri.

382. So, now, you all are representing disco sucks.

383. - Disco sucks. - Okay.

384. So what do you know about disco?

385. I don't know much about disco.

386. - Uh-huh. - Of course, Sylvester.

387. What do you about Sylvester?

388. I think he was, like, a gay pioneer.

389. And what do you know about disco?

390. There's a lot of movin' and groovin',

391. a lot of colors, big hair.

392. What do you know about the disco sucks movement.

393. I have never heard of it until today.

394. The disco sucks movement happened in Chicago.

395. A deejay in Chicago

396. had everyone bring down a pile of disco records

397. to this stadium and set these disco records on fire.

398. - Really? - Wait, I didn't know that.

399. It was this revolt that signaled the "end" of disco,

400. - but disco never really ended. - Right.

401. People, the powers that be, they get scared

402. by uncaged, unbridled passion, which is what disco is about.

403. You know, with rock music,

404. you dance to rock music like this.

405. Mm-hmm.

406. But you don't do this.

407. Right.

408. That is a revolution.

409. - Yes. - Yeah.

410. And also, it's associated with gay,

411. Black music, freedom,

412. and that scared a lot of people,

413. because they couldn't control it.

414. So that is why disco sucks happened,

415. and that's what you are representing

416. in this disco-mentary.

417. And just for the record, disco does not suck.

418. Okay.

419. All right, kids, can't wait to see you out there.

420. All right.

421. All right, Gottmik, Kandy Muse, and Tina Burner.

422. - Hello! - Hi!

423. So who knows anything about disco?

424. You know how the Pussycat Dolls

425. had that one music video, Hush, Hush,

426. and then it goes into that...

427. I Will Survive? I will Survive?

428. That's, like what I know.

429. If you were closer to me, I'd slap you.

430. This bit that you all are doing,

431. it has to do with the roots of disco and New York City.

432. Every disco had people from uptown, downtown,

433. gay, straight, Black, white, Latin, men, women,

434. everybody was there together,

435. and it is such an expression of love and soul and unity.

436. So, Tina, if I say name your top three disco records,

437. what would they be?

438. Knock On Wood, Thelma Houston.

439. That's not Thelma Houston, but...

440. - Or, um... - Amy Stewart.

441. - Amy Stewart. - Yeah.

442. - Don't Leave Me This Way. - Thelma Houston, yeah.

443. And I Will Survive, Diana Ross.

444. Well, you know, she covered it.

445. - Yeah. - It's Gloria Gaynor's song.

446. - Well, yeah. - Yeah.

447. You got me good. You got me real good.

448. Do you have three favorite disco songs, Gottmik?

449. Hmm. Probably somewhere in there.

450. But I think I might keep them to myself for right now.

451. Kandy, what's the difference

452. between Diana Ross and Donna Summer?

453. - Did you know the difference? - No, definitely, yeah.

454. "No, definitely?"

455. No, no, like, no as in, like, yes.

456. Like, no, definitely, yes.

457. Like, no, yeah. Like, yeah.

458. Uh-huh. That's definitely no.

459. Please, give a synopsis.

460. Okay.

461. I know the difference.

462. One has big, curly, bouncy hair, you know, Mahogany.

463. And the other one's dead.

464. So listen, I will see you on the dance floor.

465. Yes, you will.

466. It's gonna be fabulous.

467. Oh, it's gonna be good. This is gonna be good.

468. All right, ladies, gather round.

469. Gather round, queens.

470. Now, in a few minutes you'll head to the main stage

471. to turn the beat around with choreographer Miguel Zarate.

472. So good luck, my disco ducks,

473. and don't fuck it up.

474. I wanna be in the top this week.

475. After fucking up that first, like, group challenge, girl,

476. I need to, crk-crk-crk-crk.

477. You'll be okay.

478. Do y'all think it's gonna be judged on group or individual?

479. I'm not sure, because, bitch,

480. if there's, like, some partnering bull shit

481. and then, like, one person fucks up,

482. like, you know, who knows?

483. Imagine it's, like, you'll be judged as partners,

484. and then your partner and you are in the bottom

485. and you have to lip sync against your partner.

486. See, that could be what it is.

487. Uh-uh!

488. Don't tell that to the universe!

489. I can see a three-way lip sync, and then double elimination.

490. Um, I'm in that group.

491. That's fucked up.

492. This is a dancing challenge,

493. and I should have picked a dancing queen.

494. Had I known, I wouldn't have chosen

495. two bitches with two left feet.

496. And now here I am. fuck my life.

497. Coming up...

498. And outside and up. Lay out.

499. Miss Utica and this little piece of fabric, girl.

500. Whoo!

501. Hi!

502. How are you guys?

503. - Hi! - Hello!

504. It's time to learn choreography.

505. I wanna feel transported

506. when I move my body to the disco beat.

507. Hi, ladies. My name is Miguel Zarate,

508. and I'm here to teach you some moves for the disco-mentary.

509. Don't take yourself too seriously.

510. Disco's about having a lot of fun,

511. and that's really what I'm looking for.

512. So we should just get to it.

513. Let me start with the trio.

514. - Hey, guys. - Hi.

515. So you guys start it off.

516. It's the birth of disco, so we're gonna start

517. with a little dance called the Seat belt.

518. Sounds gorgeous.

519. One, two, three, four.

520. Right now, it looks a little up and flighty.

521. It's gotta be down and dirtier and a little grimier.

522. All together, from the top. Hit and the top.

523. Hit and a boom and a boom and a boom.

524. Our mean girl trio, they look cute.

525. And I say that facetiously.

526. That's strong, woom, strong, woom.

527. And a boom and a boom and a boom and a boom.

528. Much better except for Mik.

529. Grrr.

530. Grrr.

531. Okay, your song is Disco Sucks.

532. It's about your pussy being on fire,

533. serving it hot, and not apologizing for it.

534. Shuffle low, shuffle low.

535. Shuffle high, shuffle high.

536. Okay, you're going hip, and I'm going dick.

537. Let's work on that.

538. Let's just stay in place and then go...

539. down, pop it up,

540. down, pop it up,

541. down, thrust it.

542. Don't hurt yourself, LaLa.

543. You're still competing tomorrow, girl.

544. Ooh, hah!

545. Elliott With 2 Ts and Tamisha, your category is sex.

546. - Yes. - I want you to think hot,

547. - I want you to think heavy. - Yes.

548. And I want you to think hula-hoop.

549. Hula-hoop?

550. Yes.

551. I don't want no damn hula-hoop-a!

552. Keep it going, keep it going, keep it going, keep it going.

553. Thrust it forward, thrust it forward, thrust it forward.

554. Wow, that's a lot.

555. Sexy is cute,

556. but the hula-hoop part, what the hell?

557. And-a push and-a push and-a push. Relax the face,

558. Have fun, aow.

559. Five, six, seven, eight.

560. Elliott's like, one, two, three, four, five.

561. And I'm like, one, four... No, wait a minute, one... five...

562. Okay.

563. - You got it, babe. - I hate it.

564. I'm trying, but at the end of the day, I have another problem.

565. It's not just the cancer.

566. I'm here with an ostomy bag on my stomach.

567. It's an open wound, and it limits my mobility.

568. I can't do the things that I normally could do.

569. Here we go, one more time.

570. Five, six, seven, have fun.

571. Funk it up, funk it up.

572. Having the ostomy,

573. and I didn't even mention this to the other contestants.

574. I haven't asked for special treatment.

575. I'm gonna always try to rise to the occasion

576. off of my abilities.

577. Yes, werk! That's nice!

578. You guys, that's awesome.

579. It's a lot, but, you know, at the end of the day,

580. everybody know fame costs.

581. All right, your theme is fashion.

582. You have the most dance-heavy of the sections.

583. You're gonna do pas de bourree, pas de bourree.

584. Turn, out, step, touch.

585. Do you want that to fan, or do you want it to break?

586. Not that, bitch.

587. - I'm open to either/or. - Let's do fan.

588. Pas de bourree, pas de bourree bring it in.

589. This is the strongest technical team when it comes to dancing.

590. Me and Rosé, we're killing it.

591. I'm really hoping that I can win this challenge.

592. Beautiful, ladies. Thank you guys so much.

593. - Thank you. - Thank you, Miguel.

594. Great job, great job, great job.

595. Our choreography is definitely the most challenging

596. out of all the girls.

597. My biggest concern for this challenge is...

598. winning.

599. All right, we have Olivia and Utica.

600. Studio 54, it's like confetti in a can.

601. And what we're gonna do

602. is bring that confetti to life using this flag.

603. Here we go.

604. Go, one, two, three, four,

605. and five, six, seven, good.

606. And outside and up. Lay out.

607. Utica!

608. Olivia and Utica, I mean, one of them is doing the choreo wrong,

609. and by the looks on Olivia's face, it's not Olivia.

610. One, two, three, four,

611. and five, around. No chainé.

612. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

613. - And then out. - Oh, my God.

614. Miss Utica and this...

615. Yeah. Whoo!

616. Miss Utica and this little piece of fabric, girl.

617. This little piece of fabric is tearing her up.

618. Utica, get out of your head,

619. because your creativity is amazing.

620. When you let your creativity flow,

621. like, I can't stop looking at you.

622. But the second you don't, I don't wanna look at you.

623. Ooh.

624. I'm telling myself,

625. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.

626. I am a great dancer, I am a great dancer.

627. Like, I can do this!

628. But Olivia is full-on disco inferno

629. happening in partnership-land.

630. So I have, like, some big shoes to fill

631. if I'm gonna compete with her.

632. Let's go. Yeah!

633. Coming up...

634. I think so that everyone looks at us

635. as, like, the loud bitches in the room.

636. Mean girls on three. One, two, three.

637. - Mean girls. - Mean girls.

638. Oh, is that the clique?

639. Oh, is that the clique?

640. Move over, Dream Girls, it's the Mean Girls.

641. Today we are gonna be performing

642. our disco-ography on the main stage.

643. And I'm gonna feel disco right up into my tuck, honey.

644. How are we feeling?

645. Here's the thing.

646. Like, we just have strong personalities,

647. so we have to show the personality on the stage.

648. - Yeah. - Yeah.

649. I know that everyone looks at us

650. as, like, the loud bitches in the room.

651. But, baby, can we deliver?

652. That's the real tea.

653. And I think we can.

654. Yeah, no, we're gonna kill this.

655. - We're gonna fucking slay it. - Yes, hands in the middle.

656. All right.

657. Mean girls on three. One, two, three.

658. - Mean girls. - Mean girls.

659. Oh, is that the clique?

660. Oh, is that the clique?

661. Some people think we're bitches, but guess what?

662. Drag queens are very loud, outspoken.

663. We push buttons.

664. You wanna call it mean, call it mean.

665. Move over, Dream Girls, it's the Mean Girls.

666. How do you feel, Olivia?

667. I feel really good.

668. Yeah, you was up there twirling with that flag, and...

669. Right.

670. I always wanted to be in the color guard,

671. you know what I mean?

672. - Really? - Yeah.

673. I mean, I was in marching band.

674. I played the piccolo, and it was the smallest instrument

675. for the biggest kid on the field.

676. I used to be almost 300 pounds.

677. - Really? - Yeah.

678. I just remember kinda getting teased about my weight.

679. I was so insecure because I was still in the closet.

680. And I was battling with, like, my identity,

681. and it just was, like, a lot.

682. It just was a really dark time

683. that I felt like I just couldn't be myself

684. and couldn't be a kid.

685. Like, going through what we went through

686. and the rehearsals and stuff just reminds me

687. that I wasn't able to do what I'm able to do now always.

688. You know, I remember going to the amusement parks,

689. and there was one time where I got turned away from a ride.

690. - Oh, my God. - I couldn't fit in the seat

691. to even secure myself, so...

692. When did you lose weight?

693. In high school, my mom... We went to the doctor,

694. and the doctor said, like, the dreaded "O" word to my mom.

695. - Like, your son's obese. - Obese?

696. And my mom was just, like, we gotta do something about this.

697. And I was on, like, strict diets,

698. and that's when I found, like, theater and drama

699. and that kind of all ended up turning into, like, drag.

700. Yeah. Olivia Lux, darling.

701. Olivia Lux.

702. It took a long time

703. for me to be confident with my own body, myself,

704. and now I don't even look at the scale.

705. As long as I feel amazing, that's all that matters.

706. I guess in a way, drag saved my well-being and my health.

707. Drag is the new diet.

708. Right. Try it sometime.

709. You really have no idea what people have gone through,

710. and when you learn about it,

711. it really shows why they are that person that they are.

712. Her journey created who she is today, and I love her.

713. I admire you a lot, Kandy,

714. because you are very much yourself at all times.

715. And your personality is so infectious.

716. And, like, the thing is I know sometimes, like,

717. it comes out a little bit abrasive

718. and too loud to some people.

719. Tell us about your favorite fight you've ever had.

720. My favorite fight I've ever had?

721. Girl, the one with the battle of my inner demons, baby.

722. Ooh, tell us about that.

723. Well, I mean, all my life

724. has just been, like, a battle with just, like, myself.

725. My mother was, like, in and out of jail,

726. and just, like, you know, all I knew was the streets.

727. And on the streets, you have to be, like,

728. you know, girl, hood-smart.

729. I've always felt like I've had to defend myself,

730. whether it was, like, at a job or in school

731. or in a relationship, whatever the case may be.

732. If I was, like, faced with an obstacle,

733. girl, I was gonna go ham.

734. Growing up, everyone always told me,

735. like, "You're not good enough,

736. and you're not gonna amount to anything."

737. And, like, even, like, last time on Untucked,

738. when I was, like, going off,

739. like, in that moment I felt like I needed to defend myself.

740. And I try not to be that way.

741. When me and Tamisha had that little debacle,

742. it felt like it was definitely a setback for me,

743. because I've worked so hard to not be that angry person.

744. It took me 10 steps back,

745. because I haven't been like that in a very long time.

746. Learning and growing every day.

747. Learning and growing every day, diva.

748. You have lived, like, five different lifetimes.

749. Okay. But, you know, I look back on it often,

750. and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

751. I grew up in the projects.

752. Did you really? Oh, I didn't know that.

753. Yeah, I grew up in the projects.

754. We had members in the community

755. that tried to keep the kids out of trouble and whatnot.

756. There was this one particular lady named Ms. Kemp.

757. She started, like, a little cheerleading group.

758. We didn't have no football team or nothing like that,

759. but she gave the girls something to do.

760. Dance, cheerleading, whatever your talent is,

761. Ms. Kemp wanted to bring it out of you.

762. I would always go to practice with her and whatnot,

763. and my nickname was Booty.

764. - Booty? - Booty.

765. I've seen it.

766. So she was like, "Booty can flip."

767. When she figured out that I could flip, I could split,

768. I could do all those things,

769. but no one had ever allowed me to do it.

770. Mind you, I'm up there just having fun,

771. not knowing what the hell's going on.

772. My grandmother got wind

773. that I'm up here doing gay stuff or whatever, whatever.

774. And she was like, "No, boys don't do this

775. and boys don't do that."

776. Ms. Kemp was actually the one who gave me my foundation

777. and let me know that I was talented, you know?

778. I'm grateful for the lady in my community

779. that took a chance on me.

780. That's why I became, you know, who I am:

781. the mother of the House of Iman.

782. I always wanted to actually make it to Hollywood.

783. Well, you're here now, babe.

784. I said, like, I'm actually living my dream.

785. Who would have ever thought?

786. I know I wouldn't have never thought.

787. And what?

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

789. It's my favorite Soul Train dancer, Michelle Visage.

790. Do you have a favorite disco song?

791. Yes, it's the story of my life and my sex life,

792. More, More, More.

793. Style superstar Carson Kressley, what's your favorite disco song?

794. Ru, I really enjoy Shaft.

795. The 12-inch version.

796. She's back. Everybody say Loni Love.

797. - Loni Love! - Loni Love!

798. Loni, do you have a favorite disco song?

799. Yes, Don't Leave Me This Way,

800. the Teddy Pendergrass version.

801. - Yes, that's the original. - Yes.

802. I love it.

803. When he said, "Don't leave me this way,"

804. I didn't want him to leave me. Ooh.

805. This week we challenged our queens to dance, dance, dance

806. in the world's first disco-mentary.

807. And on the runway, category is Little Black Dress.

808. - Ooh! - Racers, start your engines,

809. and may the best drag queen win.

810. Coming up.

811. What the fuck is going on here?

812. Buckle up, because these queens

813. are about to take us to Funkytown.

814. Hey, all you foxy people.

815. This is Mama Ru on the radio,

816. and, ooh, do I have a story to lay on you.

817. Mama Ru on the radio.

818. In the early 1970s,

819. a new sound was bubbling up from the street,

820. a hot mix of rhythm and blues, salsa, and funk,

821. with a undeniable beat.

822. Disco was born,

823. creating booty-shaking anthems

824. for gay liberation, Black power,

825. women's rights, and the dance floor would never be the same.

826. Disco celebrated sex,

827. a throbbing beat

828. that made you wanna shake your groove thing.

829. Meet a stranger, feel the beat,

830. and let's get it on.

831. Disco brought different worlds together

832. at the legendary Studio 54.

833. Liza, Halston, and Warhol did the double-bump

834. with drag queens, bus boys, and hot studs on roller skates.

835. In this boogie wonderland, everybody was a superstar.

836. Disco ignited a fashion explosion.

837. Skin was in, baby,

838. and so were spaghetti straps,

839. feathered hair, designer jeans,

840. and damn, those pants were tight.

841. - Donna Summer. - Hot stuff.

842. - Diana Ross. - She's the boss.

843. And there was no shade in Evelyn Champagne King's game.

844. But one disco queen paved the way for the rest of us.

845. The fearless and flamboyant Sylvester

846. showed the world how we could all feel mighty real.

847. By the end of the seventies,

848. the disco revolution was under attack.

849. Haters shouted, "Disco sucks!"

850. They set our records on fire,

851. and our dreams became a disco inferno.

852. Disco sucks!

853. Disco sucks!

854. Disco sucks!

855. Shame, shame, you can't put out our flame.

856. They tried to kill what we loved,

857. but disco never died.

858. It just changed its name and address.

859. Today, disco reminds us

860. that our souls are connected through spirit,

861. and how together we can do anything.

862. It do take a village, people.

863. Coming up...

864. You exude that disco vibe.

865. It was lit-lit.

866. It was a little too plain for RuPaul's Drag Race.

867. Category is Little Black Dress.

868. First up, Tina Burner.

869. Gimme more. Benjamin Moore.

870. It is time to bring some color

871. into the drab little black dress.

872. I am serving you a what?

873. Ru-veal, and all of a sudden

874. I am serving paint splattered fantasy.

875. I feel like all the boys in the yard

876. were painting the mother fucking fence,

877. and they came up and grabbed my titties and my ass.

878. Because I am what? I'm looking that good.

879. All hands on deck... and my ass.

880. Paint misbehavin'.

881. Kandy Muse.

882. Oh, I'm noticing a pattern here.

883. Very sketchy.

884. Baby, I have on my Christina Stambolian creation.

885. This dress is made out of canvas paper

886. with a hand-painted little black dress.

887. My hair is wet with oil paint,

888. and if you look real closely,

889. this is the revenge dress that Princess Diana wore.

890. Thank you very much.

891. No more wire hangers!

892. Gottmik.

893. Ooh!

894. The little black merkin.

895. You know, I used to go to that dry cleaner,

896. but no more.

897. I'm giving you the littlest black dress.

898. I'm full naked.

899. A year ago, I would never have done this.

900. I couldn't be happier with how I look right now.

901. Wow.

902. There's a cold, naked Barbie somewhere.

903. Elliott With 2 Ts.

904. The Real Housewives of Paramus.

905. This look is just full-on rich, opulent woman.

906. Every once in a while,

907. someone will have to double-take at me

908. and go, "Is that a man or a woman?"

909. It is the complete transformation,

910. it's the illusion,

911. and that's what I love about my drag.

912. The funeral home is her pickup bar.

913. Tamisha Iman. Come on, Dominique Deveraux.

914. This champagne is burnt.

915. I wanted to bring a nice, clean black dress.

916. One of my many creations.

917. Any time I hit the runway, I'm doing a classy lady walk.

918. I want them to see Diahann Carroll.

919. I want and need them to see a Black, classy woman,

920. and I need them to see Black excellence.

921. Our lovely Black butterfly, baby.

922. Olivia Lux.

923. Oh, this old thing?

924. It's just a Sunday afternoon.

925. Uh-huh.

926. She is working the micro-berkin.

927. Ooh.

928. This is not your ordinary walk,

929. ladies and gentlemen.

930. This is a strut.

931. I am giving you supermodel vibes.

932. My little black dress fits every curve of my body.

933. I feel beautiful.

934. Bring back my curls.

935. Utica Queen. Who the queen?

936. You the queen.

937. So my little black dress is inspired by Audrey Hepburn,

938. and these beautiful little earrings that I have.

939. I wanted to become the earrings,

940. so I have my earring back on my hat,

941. and I am strutting down the runway in shades of gold.

942. I'm definitely feeling like my true, authentic self in art,

943. and I'm really excited about this concept.

944. Her head says, "I'm a hooker."

945. Denali.

946. She's starring in the Queef of the Spider Woman.

947. My, what a tangled web we wear.

948. I am serving you Mommy Longlegs

949. in my arachnid-inspired little black widow dress.

950. The back of my dress has gorgeous beading.

951. Call me Charlotte,

952. because I am spinning webs and turning heads.

953. I am widowed, but plot twist:

954. I killed that mother fucker.

955. Oh.

956. Michelle, her eyes are up there.

957. Rosé.

958. If you squeeze her dress, her tulle pops out.

959. Simply showing up toRuPaul's Drag Race

960. with a little black dress would be boring,

961. so I've got this beautiful grey tulle

962. framing my truly little black dress.

963. This look is definitely a little bit camp,

964. but it's also very sexy,

965. and I feel like a million bucks,

966. so I'm soaking up every minute on this runway.

967. Anyone else hungry for a Hot Pocket?

968. LaLa Ri.

969. Read my lips.

970. Any time I'm given the chance

971. to wear something small and little and sexy,

972. oh, bitch, sign me up.

973. Showing a little piece of ass for the class.

974. Let me use everything I got to get everything that I want.

975. Let's go, little black dress.

976. Little black tube top.

977. If that dress were any shorter,

978. they'd have to arrest you for dealing crack.

979. Whoo!

980. Symone.

981. - Whoo! - Whoo!

982. Somebody's going to Miss Charles' hair salon.

983. I am giving you Black hair is a revolution!

984. And if you don't know where that's from, let me tell you.

985. This hair is a reference to RuPaul's music video,

986. Back To My Roots.

987. So this little black dress is made of braiding hair,

988. and I am here to model.

989. Straight from the beauty shop.

990. Michelle, the hair show is in town.

991. Honey, Miss Hair Show 1982.

992. So good. Damn.

993. Coming up...

994. You were a disco queen to me tonight.

995. - You are radiant. - It was a little bit off.

996. Welcome, ladies. I've made some decisions.

997. When I call your name, please step forward.

998. Gottmik.

999. Denali.

1000. Rosé.

1001. LaLa Ri.

1002. Symone.

1003. Queens...

1004. You are safe.

1005. You may leave the stage.

1006. Ladies, you represent the tops and the bottoms of the week.

1007. Now it's time for the judges' critiques...

1008. Starting with Tina Burner.

1009. This look, you obviously give us a big dash of camp,

1010. and I love that.

1011. I would like the hair bigger to balance everything out.

1012. It squashes you. It should lift you up.

1013. Yeah.

1014. Your performance, though, was out of this world.

1015. I love that homage- to-Bob-Mackie beaded number.

1016. I think that beaded short dress,

1017. with all that movement, was really fantastic.

1018. You took control of the stage,

1019. and you were a disco queen to me tonight.

1020. Well done.

1021. Thank you very much.

1022. Up next, Kandy Muse.

1023. This look, I think it's really fun.

1024. I like the ode to fashion,

1025. but I do find the hair and some of the paint details on the face

1026. are a little distracting and a little messy.

1027. I do wanna say about your outfit in the disco thing, too,

1028. it was a little too plain for RuPaul's Drag Race.

1029. In your performance, you are from the boogie-down,

1030. you're from the south South Bronx,

1031. and you keep it real,

1032. so we get a lot of talk to the hand

1033. and a lot of...

1034. I love that about you.

1035. The one comment that I'm gonna say about them, though,

1036. is it's always the same,

1037. and it kind of doesn't go anywhere.

1038. Sometimes when we're big and bold,

1039. we think we gotta be "Whoo, chile, lawd have mercy."

1040. You don't have to be that all the time.

1041. So it's a matter of giving us other sides of Kandy Muse,

1042. so we can see that you've got more than that.

1043. - Thank you. - Thank you.

1044. Up next, Elliott With 2 Ts for your pleasure.

1045. I love the little black dress, but it's too... regular.

1046. Okay.

1047. And then in the challenge, you can move.

1048. - Thank you. - You killed that shit.

1049. You looked like you could have been Halston

1050. or Norma Kamali's muse.

1051. I wish I would have gone to Studio 54

1052. when I was 10 years old with Drew Barrymore,

1053. but, alas, that wasn't in the cards for me.

1054. But you gave us that experience.

1055. It was lit-lit.

1056. Elliott, I know you're a trained dancer.

1057. What was it that attracted you to dance in the first place?

1058. I always, as a little kid, would spin around in the living room,

1059. and so my mom saw it,

1060. and at five years old put me in dance class.

1061. It was my escape from the bullying and the torment

1062. that I received in that small farm town.

1063. It healed me, it protected me.

1064. I've said this before and I'll say it again.

1065. If you have a child, put your child in dance class!

1066. Yes!

1067. Up next, Tamisha Iman.

1068. This outfit, for me,

1069. I'm always looking for that twist.

1070. - It's a really gorgeous garment. - Thank you.

1071. Just think about always elevating it.

1072. - Is that neoprene? - It is.

1073. It's not easy to work with that.

1074. But I think what's happening a little bit with the pleating

1075. is it's so much gathering up top

1076. that it kind of takes away from your figure.

1077. In the challenge, it was a little bit off.

1078. You're kind of thinking about what's coming next.

1079. I think if you just have a little more fun and exhale,

1080. I think you're gonna perform better and also enjoy it more.

1081. Like with anal sex.

1082. Exactly. Exactly.

1083. I'm still getting a little bit of fear in your eyes

1084. when you're performing.

1085. Six months ago, I couldn't walk.

1086. I'm trying to get back to the old Tamisha.

1087. So I'm fighting, but at the same time,

1088. like you said, I'm in my head.

1089. And I'm not making excuses. I'm just being honest.

1090. - Thank you, Tamisha. - Thank you.

1091. Up next, a disco queen, child, Miss Olivia Lux.

1092. Tonight on the runway,

1093. I think the hair is what's speaking here,

1094. and we are listening.

1095. And then you gave us a little twist

1096. with the micro-berkin I call it.

1097. I had a good time watching you.

1098. I thought I was back in the disco days.

1099. It just... everything worked.

1100. Your disco hair was the first thing that caught my eye.

1101. That is your hair.

1102. That's, like, your trademark,

1103. and it was so gorgeous the way it moved.

1104. It was just amazing.

1105. You exude positivity and joy,

1106. that disco vibe that was so happy about that time.

1107. I think you have what they call "It factor."

1108. I mean, it's just you are radiant.

1109. Thank you.

1110. Up next, Utica Queen.

1111. Tonight in the challenge,

1112. I felt like I was watching Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman

1113. meets Carol Burnett.

1114. There were so many faces being made,

1115. I felt like I wasn't in a disco.

1116. Camp is great, but there is a line

1117. where it becomes caricature of a caricature.

1118. Tonight on the runway,

1119. I wanna know how you came up with this look.

1120. I'm my earrings.

1121. Your earrings?

1122. Yeah, yeah, I'm my earrings.

1123. And then the thing on top is the earring!

1124. - Oh, my God, you guys! - Get it?

1125. Thank you for explaining this look,

1126. because before, I was like,

1127. what the fuck is going on here.

1128. I mean, I loved it. I just didn't know what it was.

1129. Sometimes you have to think to yourself, you know,

1130. are they really gonna understand this?

1131. Because it's a competition.

1132. Put you, but make sure that they can understand it.

1133. Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.

1134. While you untuck in the werkroom,

1135. the judges and I will deliberate.

1136. All right, now, just between us squirrel friends,

1137. whaddaya think?

1138. Tina Burner.

1139. When she came out during that performance,

1140. the other two, I forgot them, and I was looking at Tina.

1141. She's a real showgirl.

1142. That dress was fantastic.

1143. Gangbusters when she came out on that stage.

1144. Kandy Muse.

1145. I feel like her content needs to catch up to her personality,

1146. if that makes sense.

1147. I want her to go above and beyond

1148. what comes naturally for her.

1149. I want her to push herself out of her comfort zone.

1150. It would have been funny

1151. if she played almost like a dumb blonde,

1152. which is total opposite,

1153. and it could have been really fun

1154. and we wouldn't have taken our eyes off of her.

1155. Kandy Muse did not capture the spirit of the disco-mentary.

1156. Elliott With 2 Ts.

1157. Elliott could dance, and she let us have it tonight.

1158. And she sold the story with her body movement.

1159. As good as the disco was,

1160. the runway was kind of disappointing.

1161. It was Sex in the City. I love it.

1162. If the city were Albuquerque.

1163. Oh, my goodness.

1164. Tamisha.

1165. She has the chops

1166. to be competing with every one of these girls up here.

1167. Timing was off, props were off.

1168. We have to critique her on what we saw.

1169. In this challenge she was timid,

1170. and you could see in her eyes that she was unsure of herself.

1171. The pros for Tamisha is that she is a survivor.

1172. It's a tough one, because she's still finding her sea legs.

1173. Do we judge her like anyone else who enters this competition?

1174. Olivia Lux.

1175. Olivia's like Michelle Visage: easy.

1176. Yes!

1177. Everything is easy for her.

1178. I was just, like, looking at her

1179. and enjoying the radiance

1180. and the good energy that is Olivia Lux.

1181. You couldn't take your eyes off of her

1182. because she is a frickin' star.

1183. There's a warm feeling that she projects on stage

1184. that you can't buy that.

1185. Utica Queen.

1186. We shouldn't have had to dig

1187. and ask to know that it was a two-inch-long earring

1188. that none of us would have ever been able to see.

1189. - Drag is a visual medium. - Yeah.

1190. We need to see it and get the joke.

1191. I love the kind of queen she is, but when she was performing,

1192. she does this thing with her body

1193. that she's almost making a joke out of everything

1194. in a way that is distracting from the piece.

1195. She would not have gotten in Studio 54

1196. with that outfit that she had on.

1197. She would have been on the ropes.

1198. Crimped, long hair, yes, that was a seventies thing.

1199. But when you pull it back

1200. into, like, you know, an Eleanor Roosevelt low pony,

1201. it's not hot. Sorry.

1202. Silence! Enough is enough.

1203. Bring back my girls.

1204. Where they at?

1205. Get 'em back.

1206. Welcome back, ladies.

1207. I've made some decisions.

1208. Tina Burner,

1209. That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, we like it.

1210. You're safe.

1211. You may join the other girls.

1212. Olivia Lux.

1213. This week, you gave us a sweet love hangover,

1214. and I don't want no cure.

1215. Okay.

1216. Con-drag-ulations, You're the winner of this week's challenge.

1217. You've won a cash tip of $5,000.

1218. I won?

1219. I won my first challenge.

1220. And it feels so amazing.

1221. You're finally seeing me.

1222. I am a force to be reckoned with.

1223. Elliott With 2 Ts, you're safe.

1224. Thank you so much.

1225. Tamisha Iman.

1226. This week, you looked a little panicked at the disco.

1227. Kandy Muse.

1228. You gave us earth and wind,

1229. but we needed fire.

1230. Utica Queen. The judges wanted you

1231. to feel more mighty real.

1232. Syracuse, Schenectady, Utica...

1233. You're safe.

1234. Thank you.

1235. Kandy Muse, Tamisha Iman,

1236. I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.

1237. Kandy and Tamisha literally just fought it out,

1238. and now they're in the bottom two together.

1239. Kandy cannot go home right now,

1240. so she better slay this shit.

1241. Two queens stand before me.

1242. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

1243. and save yourself from elimination.

1244. The time has come...

1245. for you to lip sync...

1246. for your life.

1247. Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

1248. Kandy is giving me so much life right now.

1249. There is so much passion in her face.

1250. Come on, Kandy!

1251. Tamisha Iman is giving you good, old-school drag down.

1252. Baby's giving you, like,

1253. the, you know, boom-boom, and I'm loving it.

1254. Ladies, I've made my decision.

1255. Kandy Muse, shantay you stay.

1256. Thank you so much.

1257. You may join the other girls.

1258. Tamisha Iman.

1259. You're a fighter, a survivor, and a star.

1260. Thank you for the amazing opportunity.

1261. I'm truly grateful.

1262. Thank you to each and every one of you

1263. from the bottom of my heart.

1264. Thank you.

1265. I never can say goodbye,

1266. so until we meet again, I'll just say sashay away.

1267. Tamisha!

1268. Tamisha!

1269. Come here, babe.

1270. Kill it.

1271. No tea, no tea, no deal, no deal, no deal, no deal.

1272. Do what you do. I'll see you on the road.

1273. It's not the end. It's just till we meet again.

1274. I don't want anybody to feel sad that Tamisha's going home.

1275. I was so worried about

1276. are they gonna find out that I got an ostomy?

1277. Is it gonna hold me back?

1278. Every competition, you don't have to win.

1279. Sometimes you just have to show up,

1280. and this is part of my legacy.

1281. This gave me the drive, determination that I needed

1282. to return back to the art form that I love.

1283. Going home is not a bad thing, because I can go home

1284. and actually heal to get ready for All Stars.

1285. And I'm gonna start working tomorrow,

1286. so whenever the call come, I'm ready.

1287. Con-drag-ulations, ladies.

1288. And remember, if you can't love yourself,

1289. how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?

1290. Can I get an "amen" up in here?

1291. - Amen! - Amen!

1292. All right, now let the music play!

1293. Next time onRuPaul's Drag Race...

1294. You need to improv for your life

1295. on the trashy talk show Bossy Rossy After Dark.

1296. No, I will not!

1297. Woman, get your ass out of my face!

1298. Oh, no!

1299. - Shut up! - Aah!

1300. Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Aah!

1301. You did great!

1302. You gave us over-the-top, stupid and ridiculous.

1303. This is Season 13, girl.

1304. Listen, you got to go hard or go home.

1305. I am genuinely scared for us.

1306. Aah!
