RuPaul's Drag Race 13x8

1. Previously onRuPaul's Drag Race...

2. You need to improv for your life

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

4. They let her churn butter all day.

5. Dr. Melinda, is this really gonna work?

6. Elliott With 2 Ts.

7. - Oh, God. - I was, like, she kind of dry.

8. LaLa Ri.

9. I kind of couldn't remember that much about what you did.

10. Olivia Lux.

11. You gave us over-the-top stupid and ridiculous.

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

13. Oh, my God!

14. Elliott, shantay you stay.

15. Thank you.

16. LaLa Ri, sashay away.

17. Oh, my God.

18. Oh, Lord.

19. LaLa was just eliminated.

20. She would light up a room, honey,

21. and everyone is sad to see LaLa go.

22. LaLa Ri, we love you!

23. - We love you! - Whoo!

24. Oh, what a sad day.

25. It is a fucking sad day!

26. The boiler brigade is now a duo,

27. because Miss LaLa done went home.

28. And me and Symone are left out in the cold

29. like two boiler hos.

30. - Oh! - Whew.

31. But congrats on winning the fucking challenge, bitch!

32. I'm really proud of myself.

33. I feel like I'm, like, making my mark here,

34. and that feels so good.

35. Yes, the divalicious diva.

36. Olivia did an amazing job,

37. and it was the role I originally wanted.

38. It seems as though, like, all the people that I'm helping

39. are exceeding so much more than I am.

40. I think moving forward,

41. I really need to start standing up for myself.

42. Utica, how are you feeling after everything?

43. I've been delivering the best I can do so far,

44. and I really think you guys are great,

45. each and every one of you.

46. - She's so cute. - Yeah, I know.

47. Not a mean bone in her fucking body.

48. Oh, you want a mean bone?

49. I can't believe she won with that hairline.

50. Come on. Edges, girl.

51. How do the other girls feel,

52. being just, like, safe this week?

53. I've been a little up and down tonight.

54. Like, I'm still a little confused,

55. but I'm very proud of what I did.

56. - I'm mad. - Oh.

57. I thought I did really good.

58. This is my favorite fucking outfit.

59. I'm mad pissed.

60. Like, I am angry

61. the judges are not seeing what I'm delivering,

62. and that I keep getting overlooked.

63. And it's so frustrating

64. when you're wearing the best outfit on the runway,

65. the strongest look, period.

66. This is the thing.

67. You know, even when we were being kiki-ing

68. and reading each other, the word "forgettable" was thrown out.

69. Denali. Meh, forgettable.

70. Ooh.

71. I don't feel like I am that,

72. and girls forget that I also won a challenge.

73. Denali is a little pressed

74. because when she beat me in our first lip sync,

75. I think that gave Denali

76. a sense of, okay, I'm that bitch in this group.

77. But I don't know if she is, because I am.

78. With that being said,

79. the porkchop curse is done, baby.

80. One of the winner's circle bitches has gone home.

81. And I gotta get outta drag, so let's go.

82. Ooh!

83. I have a womanly figure.

84. Mama, you got a womanly figure of Mrs. Potato Head.

85. One of the girls from the winner's circle has gone home,

86. and for the girls who were in the porkchop,

87. it's like blood in the water for a shark.

88. Now it's like it doesn't matter

89. if you're winning or losing.

90. Like, your ass can be grass at any moment, honey.

91. The reading challenge is over. Thank you.

92. The winner ofRuPaul's Drag Race

93. receives a one-year supply

94. of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics,

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

96. With extra-special guest judge Jamal Sims.

97. I'm gonna skip by myself.

98. Skippity-doo-dah, bitch.

99. It's a new day. With every person gone,

100. I take a little bit of their soul with them.

101. I'm just like this:

102. You had the LaLa experience.

103. Now it's time

104. for the Tina Burner mother fucking experience.

105. Divalicious divas, I was thinking that after this,

106. we should all move in together.

107. Yes, I think we could definitely live together.

108. That'd be a very fun moment.

109. - In a mansion in California. - A big mansion.

110. We would kill each other.

111. With the trade coming through,

112. those sugar walls would be ridiculous.

113. The only trade I need to come through those walls

114. is Joey Jay.

115. - Aah! - Oh, my God!

116. And this is just my way

117. of getting me and Joey Jay into a room together.

118. I miss my baby Joey Jay.

119. That was, like, eye candy in the werkroom.

120. Hello, hello, hello!

121. My queens, when you arrive at Drag Race,

122. we take away your phones

123. so you can give your full attention to the competition.

124. I can't give them back yet,

125. but I've got the next best thing.

126. For this week's maxi-challenge,

127. you'll be singing and dancing up a storm

128. in Social Media: the Unverified Rusical.

129. I've been waiting, dying for this challenge.

130. It's an epic tale fit for the mobile screen,

131. where you'll each play the role

132. of a different social media platform.

133. That part.

134. First, you need to swipe left

135. to record vocals with Michelle Visage.

136. Then you need to swipe right

137. to rehearse with director Jamal Sims.

138. Tomorrow on the main stage,

139. Social Media: the Unverified Rusical

140. will make its world debut.

141. Racers, start your engines,

142. and may the best drag queen win.

143. All right, headphones in, ladies.

144. Let's go through these scripts,

145. because I wanna get into these roles.

146. The Rusical is very important to me.

147. I've been waiting for it. I've been excited about it.

148. I am the singer of the cast.

149. I need to showcase that.

150. Baby, I need to make sure I get thepart for me.

151. - All right. - Oh, werk.

152. Okay.

153. How do we decide who wants to be who?

154. My name's Symone,

155. and I'm Miss Insta-glam, darling.

156. - Yes. - Werk.

157. I can see myself as the em-she.

158. I see that for you.

159. The em-she is the biggest role in the musical,

160. and I'm excited about that.

161. I mean, who doesn't wanna narrate the story?

162. I feel like my number one is Markie Tuckenberg.

163. Innocent, but not so innocent?

164. It's gonna be a stretch for me to not be so innocent.

165. Oh, yeah.

166. Yeah?

167. I need a Russian bot moment.

168. Like, these—I just can't.

169. I can't, I can't, I can't.

170. I want something that's gonna show the judges

171. that I'm pushing my limits,

172. and these punk rock Russian twins come in.

173. That's what I need.

174. My number one for now is definitely Foxy.

175. She's sexy, but it sounds a little dancey.

176. But I'm also not mad at Lady Tweets.

177. I could take it, Lady Tweets.

178. I mean, she's, like, really fast, crazy,

179. and I think I can make it really fun.

180. And I think that could be a show-stopping moment.

181. - Werk. - Werk.

182. So then Lady Tweets is Utica.

183. I'll take it.

184. All right. So now Foxy is gonna be who?

185. I think my number one here is Foxy.

186. What's the other option?

187. I feel confident

188. in being able to slay either Lady Tweets or Foxy.

189. So I'm gonna rise up to the challenge

190. of accepting Lady Tweets.

191. I am gonna keep Lady Tweets.

192. Well?

193. Like, I've been really kind and nice throughout this thing,

194. and I think I wanna stick to my guns on this.

195. I'm not letting go,

196. and, girls, I'm gonna fly over you in this competition.

197. So tweet, tweet, tweet, mother fuckers.

198. So it's between Russian bot and Foxy,

199. between Denali and Rosé, period.

200. It's literally Don't Rain on My Parade,

201. one of my go-to songs.

202. Foxy's big song is a spoof of Don't Rain on My Parade,

203. made famous by my fucking idol Barbra Streisand.

204. Baby, that is a sign.

205. So then that leaves you with the Russians.

206. I absolutely do not wanna do the Russian bot.

207. Absolutely not.

208. Foxy is very theatrical, it is very, very stunty,

209. so I am sticking to my guns when it comes to this role.

210. This is my thing.

211. I've been safe three weeks in a row.

212. But, baby, like, I came here to show who I am.

213. I want the fucking musical Rusical 11:00 number.

214. What if they each do a little bit of Foxy,

215. and then we decide which one we think is better?

216. I think that's a great idea.

217. Hee hee hee hee.

218. Oh, it's very Barbra.

219. I'm volunteering to go first, because in my opinion,

220. after reading the script, that's what Foxy would do.

221. We have a lot of nerve making them audition.

222. But I wanna see it.

223. All right! Oh!

224. This is why you are here.

225. Come on, Denali.

226. Can I take this off or no?

227. Is this pattern too busy?

228. Foxy might know what she was supposed to wear.

229. - Aah!

230. Come on, character analysis!

231. Yes!

232. - You're lovely. - Okay.

233. All right, let's start from that side of the room,

234. and then go around. Mik?

235. Okay. I vote Rosé.

236. - Rosé. - Two for Rosé.

237. - I'm gonna vote Denali. - One for Denali.

238. I'm gonna go Rosé.

239. I'm also gonna hit it with Rosé.

240. I am also gonna choose Rosé.

241. - Tina. - I would go with Denali.

242. I 100% chose Denali

243. to fuck with Rosé's brain.

244. - We have a cast. - We have a cast.

245. - We have a cast. - We have a cast.

246. - Werk! - Whoo!

247. Let's do a fucking Rusical!

248. Sis, I am frustrated boots.

249. Like, I'm walking away from this audition

250. just completely defeated,

251. and I don't even wanna do this Rusical anymore.

252. Like, what the fuck.

253. Coming up...

254. Hi, queens!

255. Bam, we have Anne mother fucking Hathaway!

256. ♪ We'll make you so proud

257. For this week's maxi-challenge, we are performing in a Rusical!

258. I'm excited. I'm excited for my part,

259. I'm excited. I'm excited.

260. I don't know how many times I'm gonna say that.

261. I'm excited. I'm excited.

262. When I get home and watch this,

263. I'm gonna have a drinking game

264. where every time I either say "fun" or "excited,"

265. I have to take a shot.

266. Ooh, girl!

267. She done already done had herses!

268. I don't know what the fuck's going on.

269. Get up and get yo ass.

270. I hear that noise, and it's like PTSD, honey.

271. Oh, God, what now?

272. I'm scared!

273. Hi, queens!

274. Oh, my God!

275. It's Anne Hathaway! Oh, my God!

276. The Princess Diaries.

277. Ella Enchanted.

278. Les Miz.

279. Devil Wears Prada.

280. Everything she's been in has been incredible.

281. Well done, Anne Hathaway.

282. I love you so much. I love you so much.

283. I understand it's Rusical week.

284. - Yes! - Yes!

285. I have a little bit of experience in musicals,

286. so I thought that this might be a good week

287. to stop by the werkroom

288. and find out if you have any questions.

289. Oh, I just have to let you guys know,

290. like, I don't care who I am, I still break out in hives.

291. So I'm just gonna arrange my hair,

292. cover up the fact that I get very nervous talking in public.

293. Baby, you're in our living room. This is not public.

294. We are just kiki-ing.

295. I don't know. A lot of people watch Drag Race.

296. That's true!

297. I definitely have a question.

298. You famously have died in a musical theater role.

299. I mean, you might have won an Oscar for it.

300. What directions can you give me on how to die in a musical?

301. Just, like, don't sneeze.

302. I don't know. Make as much noise as you can before you go.

303. - Ooh, all right. - Yes!

304. Of your many movie roles, were there any

305. that you had to, like, fight tooth and nail for?

306. How much time do you have?

307. A lot of them.

308. - I will give you some tea. - Yeah.

309. I was the ninth choice for Devil Wears Prada.

310. No way!

311. But I got it.

312. Hang in there, never give up.

313. Wait, no, no. That's, like, actually so inspiring.

314. Denali and I are a pair in this.

315. She lost the audition for Foxy.

316. I don't want her to feel defeated.

317. If one of us messes up,

318. that's gonna throw both of us off.

319. Asking for a friend, what do you do

320. when you don't get the role that you want so badly?

321. When you don't get the role you want,

322. you steal the show anyway.

323. Period!

324. All right!

325. Oh, yeah!

326. Just dig deep, find your funny,

327. and make sure that you're the one that they remember.

328. What is your advice on trying to put on an accent?

329. I'm supposed to be Russian lady.

330. Sometimes people think of accents

331. in terms of a nationality.

332. But you have to remember you're not playing an accent,

333. you're playing a person.

334. So if you can find a person

335. that reminds you of your character

336. who has the same accent,

337. that's gonna make it seem a lot more fun

338. and a lot more believable.

339. Do you know any Russian ladies?

340. I have a figure skating background,

341. so they were all around me all the time.

342. Duh! Like, why didn't I think of that before?

343. Can you do an axel?

344. Like, can you spin or something?

345. - Absolutely. You wanna see? - Yes!

346. - Okay, here we go. - Aah!

347. - Thank you!

348. My little shady remark

349. turned into a light at the end of the tunnel,

350. and it worked, and Denali's ready to win this shit.

351. We really look up to your work a lot.

352. Oh, thank you!

353. And I know that you're a big fan

354. of our drag and our careers, too.

355. What attracts you to the drag art form?

356. I love drag because it's a transgressive act of joy.

357. And I think when you look at what Ru has done for the world,

358. she's made it a place

359. where the lane of what is being okay

360. is so much wider.

361. And the more grounded in love we are

362. in acceptance of each other,

363. the better we are and the more human we are.

364. Also, I just have to say I gag for the fashion.

365. Like, can we just?

366. And I love the wit and I love puns

367. and I love boob jokes

368. and tuck jokes and all of that, so...

369. So it works for me on that level, too.

370. Thank you so much for letting me stop by the werkroom.

371. This was so exciting.

372. - Thank you! - Thank you!

373. Good luck in the Rusical, and...

374. oh, one last thing.

375. Don't f... orget to have fun.

376. Bye!

377. - Thank you! - Bye!

378. - Hi. - Hi.

379. It is time for us to record our tracks,

380. in front of Michelle Visage, Miss Seduction.

381. So I'm a little nervous.

382. I want you to meet David Steinberg.

383. - Hi, David. - Hi.

384. He and Eric Paparazzi

385. composed this piece of Rusical theater.

386. Okay, first up, em-she Tina Burner.

387. I'm em-she Tina Burner.

388. All right, let's give it a try.

389. Hit it!

390. Tina has this vibrato like an old person would.

391. Yes, Ethel Merman.

392. Next up, Olivia Lux.

393. Quick question I had.

394. On "the avocados looking fancy on toast,"

395. is that just ensemble, or is it also me?

396. No, you're gonna sing that lead.

397. - Cool. - Do you not do ensemble?

398. - Is that the problem? - Aah!

399. Not everybody can be the Beyoncé, Olivia.

400. I am telling you, do not be fooled by her sweetness.

401. There is a diva hiding somewhere in there.

402. Let's do it.

403. Okay, runs. Yes runs.

404. Who else has runs here?

405. Okay. I think whoever has the best runs shall win.

406. Next up, we've got Symone.

407. Miss Insta-glam.

408. Symone has a really, really beautiful singing voice...

409. is something I would never say.

410. You're obviously not a singer.

411. That's all right.

412. But what I know that you are, Symone,

413. is filled with life and attitude.

414. I need you to bring that to it.

415. The word is "ogle," not "oogle."

416. - Ogle. - Ogle.

417. Ogle. Ogle. Ogle. Professor Ogilvie.

418. All right, Symone!

419. Ogle!

420. Ogle, my love. It's ogle.

421. - Kandy Muse. - Hello!

422. Your song is I'm a Profesh, Sis.

423. There's a lot of "Ss" for someone that has a lisp.

424. Yeah, I know a bitch got a lisp...

425. - Miss TokTik.

426. That's what the 2 Ts are for: TokTik.

427. So obviously it's very Billie Eilish.

428. I think you should have fun with that.

429. That was a different approach.

430. Elliott as a singer?

431. She can dance, so that's nice.

432. Utica Queen, you are Lady Tweets.

433. I am Lady Tweets.

434. It's a lot for your mouth.

435. It's a tongue-twister.

436. All right, let's do this.

437. "Whatever's trending on me is not merely allegorical,

438. but algorithms programmed through means mathematical."

439. Allegorical.

440. You really need your lips.

441. Take a deep breath. Okay, here we go.

442. - Hey.

443. I have the hardest verse.

444. All these words are just getting tongue-twisted

445. up in my mouth-hole, so I'm just, like, aah!

446. Algorithms programmed means mathematical.

447. Utica was very passionate about having this role,

448. so she better be very passionate

449. about delivering the role as well.

450. Coming up...

451. It is time to five, six, several eights.

452. One, two, three, four. Uh-uh!

453. Oh!

454. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

455. Welcome, welcome!

456. It's time to five, six, several eights with Jamal.

457. Jazz hands!

458. What's really important here today

459. is embody the character.

460. A lot of times, we get so caught up in choreography

461. that we lose the face and we lose the energy,

462. because you're just thinking about the choreography.

463. All right, cool, let's start with Olivia.

464. Great.

465. Can you waltz?

466. Uh, 6/8, yeah, like, I go—

467. Yeah, that's what we're starting with.

468. We're just gonna go one, two, and-a three,

469. four and-a, ahh.

470. Swoop, yeah, yeah.

471. So when you're sweeping, I've just—

472. you've just created something amazing.

473. That's what I wanna feel.

474. Olivia, she's really poised as a performer.

475. I feel like she's one of these pageant queens

476. that once she connects the dots of the movement,

477. she is going to be amazing.

478. All right, next up, our next victim.

479. Not victim.

480. Come on, Symone.

481. - Come on, Symone. - My turn?

482. I want you to come out like a racehorse out of the stable.

483. This walk has got to be everything.

484. Okay.

485. One, two, three, four.

486. You're gonna cross over, five, six, seven, and eight.

487. Y'all know who En Vogue is, right, En Vogue?

488. - Yes. - Oh, yeah!

489. So think Free Your Mind, this is my inspiration.

490. Here we go, one, two, three, four. Uh-uh!

491. - Oh! - Get hot, no jump.

492. - No jump. - No jump, hot bitch.

493. Symone has to be a hot bitch,

494. and right now she's timid

495. and she's gotta snap outta that.

496. Leave it on the dance floor.

497. One, two, three, four, five.

498. Oh!

499. Just breathe with me, breathe.

500. Shake it out, because I know you can do this.

501. I know you can do this.

502. Ugh! I can't get my vocals right,

503. I can't get my steps together.

504. Like, what is going on?

505. This is just not turning out to be my week.

506. All right, Utica.

507. Wait, these are the moves?

508. Oh, somebody's taking two roles!

509. - Okay, Utica. - Aah!

510. My inspiration for this is Hamilton.

511. You're gonna go five, six, seven, eight—

512. There's two of them.

513. Yeah, from the tizzy.

514. Five, six, seven, let's get it.

515. Uh, one more time.

516. Utica's choreography is really difficult.

517. Her lyrics are really hard, too.

518. And I don't think she has the coordination

519. to do both at the same time.

520. Oh, my God.

521. Next, we have Kandy.

522. We go left, left.

523. So I'm going... Yes, no, maybe so?

524. It's a little weird to my left.

525. Think about when you throw your ass back,

526. then just do it one more time.

527. Miss Kandy Muse,

528. just doing it, like...

529. That's not enough.

530. Get it, here we go.

531. You can do it, you can do it.

532. One, two, three, four,

533. five, six, seven, ah.

534. Yes!

535. Well, is that how you feeling, huh?

536. - Oops.

537. Rosé.

538. We're Broadway, we're Broadway, then we're a ho.

539. She's a Broadway ho.

540. My kind of ho.

541. I feel inspired

542. to fucking dominate this goddamn Rusical.

543. One, two, three, four,

544. five and six and seven, eight.

545. Rosé's absolutely killing the choreo.

546. Six, seven, eight, and wha!

547. But when it comes to my turn, I wanna steal the show.

548. Denali and Gottmik, y'all about to ruin the USA.

549. Ruin!

550. So which is which? So tell me...

551. - I'm Natasha. - And I'm Nikita.

552. Natasha and Nikita.

553. Wait, why does it sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger?

554. It's not a tumor.

555. We're gonna start with a little bit of a head-bang, right?

556. - Right, okay. - So we're just going—

557. So all I need is...

558. No.

559. Denali and I are a pair in this,

560. and Denali is this insane, crazy dancer,

561. and I am not an insane, crazy dancer.

562. Five, six, seven, eight—

563. - Oh, are we going forward? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, come down.

564. - One more time. Travel. - Didn't know that.

565. - Make it travel. - Okay.

566. My brain just doesn't work.

567. Five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four.

568. Like, crazy without music.

569. One and two and three and four.

570. Oh, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

571. It's really important

572. that you guys match your energy.

573. One can't be higher than the other.

574. Gottmik, I would prefer you pulling up, right?

575. Like, if you feel like Denali's up,

576. go all the way up, okay?

577. Confidence. That's all I need.

578. All confidence and character.

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

580. - And one, two, from here— - Oh, there's more.

581. We go, one, two, three, four,

582. five, six, seven, eight.

583. I'm obviously a little nervous.

584. I just kind of just need to hit this.

585. I need to nail this choreography.

586. All right, so let's have everybody back up.

587. Nobody wants to be the weak link.

588. It's always the one they're like, ugh.

589. Don't be the weak link.

590. Get into it, sell it, be it,

591. and we will receive it, okay?

592. At the end of the rehearsal,

593. I'm a little worried about some of the other girls,

594. because I'm looking around and I'm, like...

595. Coming up...

596. Miss Tina, didn't you date

597. somebody rather famous back in the UK?

598. - What? - Who, bitch?

599. I can't wait to Google.

600. Aah!

601. Yes! It's runway day!

602. Today is opening night

603. of Social Media: the Unverified Rusical.

604. This challenge is so much fun.

605. It brings me back to, like, theater camp.

606. I can't wait!

607. Look, Mom, I'm gonna be in a Rusical!

608. - You were struggling a little... - I was.

609. During the recording yesterday.

610. Yeah, oh, for that, too, honey.

611. I feel like the vocals in the track

612. sound, like, not good.

613. In this moment, I'm feeling so much pressure

614. coming off, like, a great start to this competition.

615. And I really wanna keep the momentum going,

616. so I'm feeling very nervous.

617. Girl, just leave it all on the stage,

618. and, like, at that point, it's beyond—

619. It's beyond your control, yeah.

620. I feel really good, honestly, so I'm gonna bring that energy

621. - into what we're doing tonight. - Absolutely.

622. And sing over my rotted-ass vocals.

623. See, now, that side's good.

624. - You're welcome. - Thanks.

625. So we're doing a social media challenge today.

626. Has anyone been jaded by social media?

627. Not personally, but I've definitely seen it

628. from behind the scenes, and it is not fun

629. to see someone that you care about go through that shit.

630. I remember during Season 9 when Aja and Valentina

631. had that whole dilemma on Untucked.

632. You're perfect, you're beautiful,

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

634. Aja got it for a good two years.

635. And then it went from, like, picking on her

636. to picking on, like, our drag house.

637. Girl, I remember.

638. I was called "Fat Aja" for a very long time,

639. and still am.

640. A lot of people online didn't really like me,

641. and when the entire world is attacking you,

642. it fucks with your head.

643. So I was attacking back to every single person online.

644. I can sit here and lie

645. and say, oh, it was so easy and I've changed,

646. but it's hard, it's really difficult.

647. There are days where I found myself

648. going back into negativity on social media.

649. But on the flip side, social media's very important.

650. It's the way that I've really

651. gotten the world to know Kandy Muse.

652. Being that we're talking about social media,

653. I had a little meme go viral

654. called sitting alone in the VIP.

655. I was truly depressed and sad at a gig,

656. and I was by myself.

657. So I tweeted sitting alone in the VIP by myself.

658. Someone just asked me for a photo,

659. but they didn't ask me how my day went.

660. This industry really is a lonely one.

661. Not thinking of how fucking delusional

662. that fucking sounds.

663. It became this huge fucking meme,

664. and literally I made a song about it.

665. But you know, you have to make your coin

666. from what they wanna tear you down.

667. Very that.

668. Seeing the meme go viral,

669. I am obsessed with it.

670. I love when people tag me in sitting alone in the VIP.

671. I love it.

672. So speaking of being in the public eye, Miss Tina,

673. didn't you date somebody rather famous back in the UK?

674. - Who, bitch? - She had a little fling

675. of sorts with Sir Graham Norton.

676. - Oh! - What?

677. First of all, I love how you say "fling."

678. I was in a relationship.

679. Oh, she was a committed woman, first of all, bitch.

680. No, but, I mean, it's interesting

681. when you talk about social media

682. and the power of it, because, like, Graham is so famous.

683. And it's, like, he's at that level

684. where your life is just put on a platform.

685. He's such a great guy, and, like, it never, ever got to him.

686. It was the most amazing thing.

687. I remember people, like, passing judgment on me right away,

688. when they don't even know me.

689. Are you after his money? are you this, are you that?

690. I mean, people are, like, wanna draw

691. all their own opinions.

692. The point, like, I'm making from that, too,

693. is just, like, with all the bad comes all the good as well.

694. So, yes, there are those, you know, assholes out there,

695. there's trolls out there,

696. but there's also those people that are gonna spread love.

697. I think it's important to find that balance between it.

698. Werk, Tina.

699. Are there paparazzi pics of you two, like, leaving the house?

700. Oh, there's horrible pictures of me,

701. with, like, flat-ironed hair.

702. Does anyone have any celeb crushes?

703. I love me some Boris Kodjoe, baby.

704. I want Uncle Jesse to give me a Full House.

705. - You know what I'm saying? - Okay, wait.

706. But am I the only weirdo

707. that had crushes on, like, Hercules and, like, Aladdin?

708. Like animated people?

709. Not the animated people!

710. And what?

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

712. Michelle Visage.

713. Now, what's your favorite app these days?

714. Uh-huh. Girl, you so crazy!

715. And the hilarious Ross Mathews.

716. Are you on any dating apps?

717. You are so funny!

718. And welcome back, Jamal Sims.

719. How did the queens do this week?

720. Okay. This week we challenged our queens

721. to sing and dance

722. in Social Media: the Unverified Rusical.

723. And on the runway, category is "Yellow, Gorgeous."

724. What? Nothing? I thought that was funny.

725. Okay.

726. Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.

727. Coming up...

728. Yes!

729. Put your emoji hands together

730. for Social Media: the Unverified Rusical.

731. Ladies and gentlemen, trollers and scrollers,

732. tonight is all about you

733. and the living hell you've created.

734. I know what you're thinking.

735. Has she always been this bitter?

736. Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?

737. Oops. I just got canceled!

738. Our cautionary tale

739. begins innocently enough at Tuckahoe University,

740. as computer genius Markie Tuckenberg

741. works late into the night.

742. Foxy! I did it!

743. I invented a new social network!

744. And I'm calling it Fistbook.

745. Fistbook? Markie, do you even know what that means?

746. Eew!

747. Never mind.

748. Hold up!

749. What if we use this social network

750. to connect people around the world?

751. I guess I could collect all their personal data.

752. We'll call it Face-Face-Face Look.

753. You know, that might just work.

754. Oh!

755. I own 100% of this social platform.

756. Oh, my God, I'm a freaking tech genius!

757. Foxy, cover up!

758. But one platform wasn't enough

759. for you hungry little hippos, was it?

760. - Hard. - Livestream.

761. - Tweet. - Résumé.

762. - Hard. - Livestream.

763. - Tweet. - Résumé.

764. - Hard. - Livestream.

765. She uses her vanity to take away your sanity.

766. May I present Miss Insta-glam!

767. Okay, Lady Tweets, you're next. Keep it brief.

768. - Is that all you've got to say?

769. - One more time! - Faster!

770. - Oh, my God! - Girl!

771. And now, the boss bitch herself,

772. the Reverend Doctor Mrs. Linked All the Way In.

773. You go, girl.

774. Time to get disruptive with Miss TokTik.

775. What are you kids doing in there?

776. Ugh. Mom, leave us alone!

777. Ladies, excuse me.

778. I've got a bone to pick with you, and it's a big bone.

779. I've had my account suspended by every one of you.

780. Why?

781. Um, you show too much skin.

782. Whatever happened to sex positivity?

783. Free the nipple!

784. Yo, Mrs. Tuckenberg, whaddaya think of me now?

785. You're banned forever.

786. - Bye! - Bye-bye!

787. - Ooh! - Ooh!

788. Hello, darlings, I'm Natasha.

789. This is Nikita.

790. But you can call us Click and Bait.

791. Suddenly, the whole world is totally divided!

792. You're not woke!

793. Healthcare's a joke!

794. 5G's a conspiracy!

795. Voting leads to tyranny!

796. Holy crap.

797. My grandma's a racist?

798. No, ma'am!

799. Girl, uh-huh.

800. Stop! You fools!

801. It wasn't always like this.

802. Back in my day...

803. Back in your day?

804. Didn't you know?

805. She used to be Friendster.

806. Google it.

807. I just can't face it.

808. - What is it you can't face? - what is it you can't face?

809. Oh! She's, like, dead.

810. It's 2006 all over again.

811. The Internet was supposed to be a modern miracle,

812. but look at us now!

813. Markie, do you remember why

814. you started Face-Face-Face Look in the first place?

815. To collect everybody's personal data.

816. No, so the world could come together.

817. Oh, right! That'll never happen.

818. Call me an old-fashioned

819. thick and juicy, sex positive dreamer,

820. but I know we can do better!

821. Liza Minnelli lies.

822. That was amazing!

823. Brava, encore!

824. Coming up...

825. Sounded great, looked great.

826. You nailed it. Nailed it.

827. Oh, this bitch wants to steal the whole show.

828. Category is "Yellow, Gorgeous."

829. Up first, Tina Burner.

830. Oh, she got her high-beams on.

831. Yes, before there was Uber,

832. there was a taxicab.

833. I'm beeping down the runway,

834. I will circle the block

835. and come back and pick y'all up,

836. because you are eating up this taxi look.

837. She is such a backseat driver.

838. She does not go to Brooklyn.

839. Do not even ask.

840. Olivia Lux.

841. She's your Dreamgirl.

842. She gives me fever.

843. Yellow fever.

844. I'm giving an elevated evening eleganza.

845. I have these two yellow ostrich feather puffs on my arms.

846. Y'all can't tell me

847. that I can't just rise to the top of the competition, honey.

848. Here's a tip: don't eat yellow hip pads.

849. Symone, Symone-yay.

850. Ru, I think you should suspender.

851. I look like Big Bird done went to the hood

852. and got transformed into a pimp, all right?

853. And, honey, I am serving it to you in this coat, honey.

854. And not only is it a yellow coat, honey,

855. it's a yellow Versace coat.

856. Catch it, henny, ha-ha!

857. You say goodbye, I say yellow.

858. Yellow, yellow.

859. Up next, Utica Queen.

860. Wait. Who did the queen?

861. She looks like she's from the past,

862. so that would make her an Old Yeller.

863. I am living my medieval fashion fantasy.

864. This gown is based

865. off of the 14th century sideless gowns.

866. And the moralists ixnayed this gown

867. because it was too sexy.

868. So I'm giving a big, artistic middle finger

869. to those moralists.

870. She's the other Boleyn sister.

871. Ye Olde English 800.

872. Up next, Kandy Muse.

873. Oopsie daisy.

874. Show us your tulips.

875. This look is a recreation

876. of Beyoncé's iconic Lemonade look.

877. I have ruffles coming up and down my body,

878. curly blonde hair, and so many flowers.

879. Baby, I feel stunning.

880. She don't just key a car,

881. she beats the fuck out of it.

882. Up next, Elliott With 2 Ts.

883. The extra T is for "taxi."

884. My yellow runway look

885. is head to toe yellow vinyl sex fantasy.

886. Her fare is $100,000, honey.

887. Sorry, Miss Tina,

888. but I feel like your taxi was a little dated.

889. Toot-toot, yeah, beep-beep.

890. Up next, Rosé.

891. Smokin'!

892. My yellow look

893. is a tribute to Jim Carrey inThe Mask.

894. I've turned the zoot suit into a little three-piece number.

895. I'm a redhead because I'm mischievous as fuck.

896. I am a cartoon character come to life.

897. She paid extra for the guacamole.

898. You're stupid.

899. Denali.

900. That girl is poison.

901. Michelle, do you think that boa constricts her?

902. If she's lucky.

903. I am serving princess python realness

904. in hand-painted yellow sequin fabric.

905. The cherry on top of the cake

906. is this gorgeous snake headpiece.

907. We are all born snake-ed, and the rest is drag.

908. Medusa? I hardly know her!

909. Up next, Gottmik.

910. Oh, it's the new collection

911. of BDSM crash-test dummies.

912. I am giving you bondage crash-test dummy.

913. I'm in head-to-toe latex.

914. The only part of my body that's out right now is my face,

915. and that is painted for the gods.

916. So not one part of my body can breathe,

917. and I love it!

918. Fasten your seatbelts, please!

919. It's drag for dummies.

920. Coming up...

921. I love this look on you.

922. I think it's campy, and I think it's beautiful.

923. - I just have one question. - Yeah?

924. Why is it orange?

925. Welcome, queens.

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

927. Tina Burner.

928. Symone.

929. Kandy Muse.

930. Rosé.

931. Denali.

932. Gottmik.

933. You are the tops and bottoms of the week.

934. Olivia, Utica, Elliott,

935. ladies, you are safe.

936. You may leave the stage.

937. Now it's time for the judges' critiques,

938. starting with Tina Burner.

939. I love this look on the runway.

940. I think it's campy and I think it's beautiful.

941. Well done.

942. In the recording session, you really nailed it.

943. And then it came to the performance,

944. and I felt like

945. I lost a lot of who I thought you were going to be.

946. When you were dying,

947. you stopped lip syncing before you died.

948. It was unlike you, because you're the consummate pro.

949. You know, every actor wants that death scene moment.

950. It's how people win Oscars, right?

951. Why did you stop lip syncing before your part was done?

952. I didn't feel myself stop lip syncing,

953. but it's very possible I did.

954. I think you did a great job,

955. but one choice can take you out.

956. Thank you.

957. Up next, Symone-Symone-yay.

958. Tonight on the runway, it's fashion, it's edgy,

959. but it's still kind of statement.

960. Can I see the— can you open—

961. Oh, it's so good, Symone!

962. I was so disappointed on the Rusical,

963. only because your commitment level was down.

964. It's, oh, just, like, I wanted more.

965. You have to sell it,

966. because that's what drag queens can do.

967. And what I saw out there

968. was you apologizing for not being able to sing.

969. It just seemed like you were like,

970. yeah, I know it's bad, I'm sorry.

971. And what I need you to tell me

972. is, bitch, you don't even know singing.

973. This is singing, and you didn't even know it.

974. - Thanks, Symone. - Thank you.

975. Up next, Kandy Muse.

976. I love this look on you.

977. You look gorgeous.

978. Your makeup looks beautiful. I love the nod to Beyoncé.

979. Yes.

980. In your performance, though,

981. we couldn't see your face through barely any of it.

982. You weren't looking at the cameras,

983. you were looking at the floor.

984. I couldn't tell if you knew the words,

985. because I couldn't see your face.

986. You were, like, a little disheveled with your outfit.

987. It just seemed a little messy.

988. There is a precision in this that was lacking.

989. Thanks, Kandy.

990. Up next, Rosé.

991. Tonight on the runway, I appreciate The Maskhomage.

992. - I just have one question. - Yeah?

993. Why is it orange?

994. Oh, Michelle, I don't think it's orange.

995. Oh, really? Is this a blue and gold moment?

996. No, I think it's a warmer yellow.

997. It's orange.

998. Okay, I'm sorry.

999. Orange you glad Michelle's done talking?

1000. Listen, you too had expectations coming into this challenge.

1001. I know you're a singer, I know you're a performer,

1002. so you gotta kill it or it's not good enough, right?

1003. Right.

1004. You killed it.

1005. - It was so much fun to watch.

1006. You were in character the whole time.

1007. Sounded great, looked great, choreo was great.

1008. I just enjoyed working with you,

1009. and you nailed it. Nailed it.

1010. What propelled you towards music theater?

1011. I love to sing, and I was always, you know,

1012. getting in trouble for being a ham,

1013. and it was a way to channel that.

1014. My parents and my teachers saw that,

1015. and it immediately set me on my path.

1016. Well, it's paid off for you.

1017. Thank you, RuPaul.

1018. - Denali. Nikita.

1019. You know when you see a show on Broadway

1020. and then that supporting character

1021. comes in a little bit late

1022. and just breathes life back into it?

1023. That's what you did,

1024. and it's because you went fully into it.

1025. - I mean, you got ugly. - I did.

1026. And so funny.

1027. You made me laugh immediately.

1028. I love the way you do it out of the side of your moth.

1029. It's just cartoonically—

1030. "Cartoonically?"

1031. Yeah, it's a new word. You're welcome.

1032. Cartoonically what I wanted.

1033. You know, it's very Boris and Natasha.

1034. You were in control, fully aware, a performer.

1035. You did the back flip. You're killing it.

1036. Tonight on the runway,

1037. I think realistically what speaks here

1038. is that headpiece.

1039. - Yes. - That, to me, is—

1040. Remember the python from Britney's VMA performance?

1041. Oh, you are the python!

1042. This is her now.

1043. - Gottmik. - Hello!

1044. I really love this outfit.

1045. It's edgy and it's sexy and it's fashion.

1046. - Really good. - Thank you.

1047. In the Rusical, this is a perfect example

1048. of what I mean by you have to sell it,

1049. and you sold the hell out of this.

1050. Even after you made that entrance, which was so great,

1051. there you were in the background,

1052. and I thought, oh, this bitch wants to steal the whole show.

1053. Mm-hmm.

1054. That was so cool to see, because, you know, for a minute,

1055. you were, like, I don't know about choreography.

1056. And then all of a sudden,

1057. you were doing every step that Denali was doing it,

1058. and you were doing it with just as much confidence.

1059. Great job tonight. So proud.

1060. Thank you so much.

1061. I'm always interested when people can break through.

1062. So tell me about the process of getting out of your way.

1063. I was full, like, convinced

1064. that I was not a choreography queen in any way.

1065. And then Jamal, working with him,

1066. it was just so easy,

1067. because he just taught it in a different way to me.

1068. And I was like, fuck, yeah, I can do this

1069. I'm ready to choreograph my whole life now.

1070. as long as Jamal's here.

1071. Well, thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.

1072. While you untuck in the werkroom,

1073. the judges and I will deliberate.

1074. Just between us squirrel friends, whaddaya think?

1075. Tina Burner.

1076. She sounded great,

1077. and if you listen to the vocal track, it was wonderful.

1078. And then when she performed it tonight,

1079. she was disconnected.

1080. I expect more from Tina in a musical theater challenge.

1081. She might have made some bad choices,

1082. but I'm still pro-Tina.

1083. Symone-Symone-yay.

1084. She's usually filled with sass and attitude.

1085. In the Rusical, there was none of that, guys.

1086. And she stumbled on the first four count.

1087. From that point, it just went all downhill.

1088. Even though she couldn't hit the notes

1089. didn't mean she couldn't hit the moment.

1090. That's why I asked Gottmik

1091. about what the process of finding your sweet spot was.

1092. Tonight, Symone did not do that.

1093. Kandy.

1094. The want to deliver this performance

1095. was so great for her,

1096. and then all of a sudden, everything starts to fumble.

1097. The hair got in the face, and then that reaction

1098. went into her getting on the ground at the wrong time,

1099. and it was just, like, kind of a chain reaction.

1100. She hasn't figured out

1101. how to put her ingredient into every dish.

1102. You can put zucchini in everything, you know?

1103. I've had a zucchini muffin, I've had it in savory dishes.

1104. - Yes. - And it fits perfectly.

1105. Yes. Ru, I've always said that.

1106. I'll tell you where else you could put a zucchini.

1107. I know where else you could put a zucchini.

1108. Kandy has to figure out where to put the zucchini.

1109. Rosé.

1110. This was the very definition of a boss-ass bitch tonight.

1111. So polished. She was great.

1112. Really wonderful.

1113. She was definitely in her element.

1114. I just love seeing someone

1115. doing what they're meant to do.

1116. - She is meant to do that. - Yeah.

1117. Denali.

1118. She was in it, committed,

1119. and it just read all the way through.

1120. Doing a back-handspring in heels

1121. is, like, crazy town.

1122. Tonight, I was sold 100%.

1123. Bought, signed, sealed, delivered.

1124. When the Russians took the stage,

1125. I felt very, very excited.

1126. Gottmik.

1127. She shocked the hell out of me.

1128. She rose to the occasion,

1129. so hands-down 10s across the board.

1130. It's fun to see somebody not know they can do something,

1131. but try anyway and knock it out of the park.

1132. Gottmik committed to it, and it was so exciting.

1133. That's what I'm looking for.

1134. - There were moments— - Silence!

1135. I've heard enough.

1136. Swedish for "Bring back my girls."

1137. Welcome back, queens.

1138. I've made some decisions.

1139. Denali.

1140. Gottmik.

1141. It has come to our attention

1142. that there's been Russian interference

1143. in this competition.

1144. The good kind.

1145. You're safe.

1146. Great job, queens.

1147. Rosé, this week, you outfoxed the competition.

1148. Con-drag-ulations. You are the winner of this week's challenge.

1149. You've won a cash tip of $5,000.

1150. Thank you so much.

1151. This is a really big deal to me.

1152. Now I finally have a win.

1153. I'm fucking thrilled.

1154. Tina Burner. To whom much is given, much is expected.

1155. Symone. This week, you weren't overshadowed.

1156. You forgot to shine.

1157. Kandy, tonight you looked nice,

1158. but your performance was not precise.

1159. Tina Burner.

1160. You are safe.

1161. Thank you.

1162. - You may join the other girls. - Thank you.

1163. Love you so much.

1164. Symone, Kandy, I'm sorry, my dears,

1165. but you are up for elimination.

1166. All I can think of in my head is I can't go home.

1167. I don't wanna go anywhere.

1168. I am ready to fight for my fucking life.

1169. Two queens stand before me.

1170. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

1171. and save yourself from elimination.

1172. The time has come...

1173. for you to lip sync...

1174. for your life!

1175. I am trembling.

1176. I am in utter shock that I'm here.

1177. As much as I love Kandy, I'm not gonna not fight.

1178. I came here to win.

1179. Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

1180. It looks like Kandy Muse

1181. has, like, jumped out of a plane and gone skydiving,

1182. And it's just, like, so much fabric going in the air,

1183. it's giving me that Eureka kick, you know.

1184. Yes!

1185. Ladies, I've made my decision.

1186. Symone, shantay you stay.

1187. Thank you, thank you, thank you,

1188. thank you, thank you.

1189. You may join the other girls.

1190. You won this.

1191. Kandy Muse.

1192. You're a profess, sis.

1193. Keep showing 'em who's boss.

1194. Thank you for changing my life forever.

1195. That I can be who I wanna be into the world,

1196. and not giving a shit about what anyone has to say about me.

1197. And you've made me feel so, so special.

1198. I love you.

1199. Thank you so much.

1200. Now sashay away.

1201. - Kandy! - We love you, Kandy!

1202. Kandy, Kandy, wait.

1203. Stop.

1204. I'm not ready for you to go.

1205. Not yet.

1206. You are safe to slay another day.

1207. Yes, bitch!

1208. Bitch, you didn't have to play with my emotions.

1209. Thank you so much.

1210. Thank youso much.

1211. Now, con-drag-ulations to all you girls.

1212. And remember, if you can't love yourself,

1213. how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?

1214. Can I get an "amen" up in here?

1215. - Amen! - Amen!

1216. All right. Now let the music play!

1217. Next time onRuPaul's Drag Race...

1218. The time has come.

1219. We're playing the Snatch Game!

1220. You're looking fucking great.

1221. I wrote huge cocks.

1222. Mm, tastes delicious.

1223. Oh, oh, oh, dear.

1224. That was genius.

1225. You did a really good job.

1226. You wanna make Ru laugh,

1227. and I think that was the problem. We didn't laugh.

1228. The winner's circle is dead, so...

1229. - Aah! - Ooh!

1230. Bitches beware.
