RuPaul's Drag Race 14x8

1. Previously onRuPaul's Drag Race...

2. You'll be starring in The Daytona Wind.

3. Maxine!

4. Hoity-toity Davenports!

5. Lady Camden.

6. The performance was believable. It was acting.

7. Daya Betty.

8. You did a really, really good job.

9. You all did such an amazing job,

10. this week there are no bottoms.

11. Oh, my God!

12. Lady Camden.

13. You're a winner, baby.

14. Ooh!

15. Girl, yes.

16. I can't deny it.

17. I am walking into the werkroom

18. with a little spring in my step

19. as a newly crowned winner.

20. I'm feeling on top of the mothefucking world!

21. Yes, bitch!

22. How about that motherfucking lip sync?

23. Congrats, doll.

24. I'm finally out of the safe zone!

25. I feel completely relit.

26. I know I have something to make it to the top,

27. and now it, like, makes me wanna fight even harder.

28. All tea, I'm pissed that I am not in the top two.

29. Like, Camden deserved it.

30. Daya?

31. Well, bitches, we are all still...

32. - Yeah. - It's the bigger picture.

33. It's kind of insane to hear RuPaul say yet again

34. how freaking good we all are.

35. To, like, get that validation

36. that this season is not a fucking joke.

37. No.

38. There's gonna be one challenge we're all gonna bomb.

39. You all go home.

40. We're all safe to slay another day.

41. Let's fucking give them

42. some more of this juice, darling.

43. Maxine!

44. - How we feeling? - I'm happy.

45. I'm genuinely happy.

46. I mean, all tea, I wish I was in the top.

47. I thought you were gonna be in the top.

48. But at the same time, like,

49. I don't think I could have done that lip sync today.

50. I really don't after what happened in Untucked.

51. I didn't think I was gonna talk about this.

52. Before coming here,

53. I was starting the process of hormones

54. and, like, about to start.

55. I am trans.

56. I'm very proud of you, because that was hard.

57. Yeah.

58. I do feel, like, there's a weight lifted off of my chest

59. of, like, I'm not lying about, like, who I am anymore.

60. I'm just, like, nervous about my dad,

61. because when I just came out as gay

62. and as a drag queen,

63. it wasn't the greatest thing.

64. If your family loves you, they'll accept you.

65. Never feel like you have to hide from us.

66. The girls are above and beyond supportive.

67. Just opens the barriers

68. and just gives me a clear line of what I'm here to do,

69. and just to be myself.

70. I love you.

71. Watching Jasmine blossom into who she is,

72. it really does touch my heart.

73. Everyone has their opinion on Jasmine,

74. but no matter how you bicker or argue,

75. ultimately drag is about bonding with your family.

76. Girl, the only fur I see, bitch,

77. is the fur on your legs, bitch.

78. - Where?

79. Even though I'm about to go

80. and start cutting people's heads off, honey.

81. You about to get kicked, bitch.

82. You about to get kicked into next season.

83. Give me the wipes, bitch,

84. Okay.

85. Give me the wipes! Give me the wipes, bitch!

86. Aah!

87. Stupid bitch, give me the wipes!

88. Telling me I'm furry.

89. Child.

90. The winner ofRuPaul's Drag Race

91. receives a one-year supply

92. of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics

93. and a grand prize of $100,000, powered by Cash App.

94. With extra-special guest judge Alec Mapa.

95. The Daytona Wind.

96. - Wow! - Ooh!

97. It's a new day in the werkroom,

98. and the competition is heating up,

99. which I know sounds, like, cheesy to say.

100. Like, it's heating up.

101. But it's really true.

102. We were all very friendly for a long time,

103. but there's that little edge that we're all feeling now,

104. where we're just kind of, like, "Are you feeling it?

105. Are you feeling it?"

106. I've got a lot of friends,

107. but I don't have a single $100,000.

108. Like, love you all.

109. I will catch up after the show,

110. but I did really want to keep moving.

111. Hello, hello, hello.

112. Oh, shit.

113. You're all still here?

114. - Yes. - Yes.

115. You know, drag is a sisterhood,

116. and since the dawn of time,

117. we've relied on each other

118. to keep our feet on the ground.

119. So for today's mini-challenge,

120. in the grand tradition

121. of the legendary documentary Paris Is Burning...

122. - Oh! - Ooh!

123. The library is about to be open.

124. Because reading is what?

125. - Fundamental. - Fundamental.

126. I have been waiting all season long for this.

127. I love to talk shit.

128. This is what I was born for.

129. All right, first up, Kerri Colby.

130. - Ooh. - Get ready.

131. Miss Angeria. Now, you say I can't take a shape, bitch.

132. What shape is that, Wendy Williams gotta pee?

133. Miss Jasmine Mouth Almighty.

134. You know, I am so glad that on this whole journey,

135. you have found... your silence.

136. Daya Betty, con-drag-ulations, my dear.

137. You are American's next... Crystal Methyd.

138. - Lady Cameltoe.

139. Next time you wanna be masculine on the runway,

140. leave the mustache at home.

141. Your jawline is enough.

142. Little Miss Jorgeous.

143. The tiniest little waist...

144. of time.

145. Miss Kerri Colby, the face of a superstar...

146. for podcasting.

147. Miss Willow Pill.

148. I'm a lady, but you, you are a dame.

149. A little dame, a little Hunchback of Notre Dame.

150. Quasimodo, she better do!

151. Kerri Colby, what can I say

152. that RuPaul already hasn't to you?

153. Um... con-drag-ulations.

154. You're the winner of this week's maxi-challenge.

155. Miss Angeria VanWinkle Bower-Chapman III.

156. Bitch, your name is longer than a CVS receipt, ho.

157. Miss Bosco, in drag,

158. you're really this gorgeous, beautiful burlesque woman.

159. Outside of drag, you give me greaseball.

160. Jasmine Kennedie, why do you look so old,

161. but you are so young?

162. You are the definition of white do crack.

163. You got me, bitch.

164. - Kerri Colby. - Hey.

165. You are beautiful, just like your mother.

166. Too bad she didn't pass down those dancing skills.

167. It must have skipped a generation.

168. Daya Betty.

169. I'm surprised you're not a Gemini,

170. 'cause the whole two face act you got going on

171. could have fooled me.

172. DeJa Skye, we know you're always telling bad dad jokes

173. in the werkroom.

174. Though you may not be a comedy queen,

175. you certainly have the face for it.

176. Serena ChaCha.

177. Jorgeous, we know you're skinny and you need to eat,

178. but unfortunately Orion's ass is not on the food pyramid.

179. According to Jasmine, let me put my second face on.

180. Jasmine, you were in the bottom

181. for the Glamazon runway.

182. Was your inspiration behind your outfit COVID-19?

183. Because it was tired and had a lack of taste.

184. - Shit! - DeJa Skye.

185. You're like a really good pair of socks.

186. Soft, supportive, full of cum.

187. - Jasmine. - Oh, God.

188. You are one brain dead slut.

189. - I am!

190. You put the bottom in lobotomy.

191. Lady Camden. I've learned so much from Lady Camden.

192. Did you know in British, "fag" means cigarette?

193. - Oh. - It's crazy.

194. So could somebody send this cigarette home?

195. - Kerri Colby. - Hi.

196. Your face is so frozen

197. that it just asked me, do you wanna build a snowman?

198. And finally,

199. I was walking around backstage

200. and actually found RuPaul's will.

201. You have some very weird criteria in there.

202. She wanted to be buried on the catwalk,

203. and she wanted all of you to be her pall bearers.

204. That way you could let her down on the runway

205. one last time.

206. And what?

207. Whoo! Y'all some shady bitches.

208. The library is closed officially.

209. The winner of today's mini-challenge is...

210. Bosco.

211. Aah!

212. It was time for the villain to win.

213. Don't get it twisted.

214. Lady Camden, you're a very shady bitch, too.

215. Now, Bosco, you've won $2,500

216. courtesy of Sweet Tarts.

217. Sweet Tarts, thank you.

218. And as a special treat for the rest of you,

219. we've got Sweet Tarts.

220. Why be just one thing when you can be both?

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

222. - Amen! - My girls.

223. I hope you're all ready for a hullabaloo,

224. because I'm setting the Drag Racetime machine

225. to 1964,

226. a time when girl groups dominated the charts.

227. Now, long before Destiny's Child,

228. '60s girl groups were breaking racial barriers

229. and making timeless hits from the female point of view.

230. So for this week's maxi-challenge,

231. you'll break into three groups,

232. each performing a brand-new retro hit.

233. The Bad Boy Baby, by the Shang-Ru-La's,

234. He's My Baby by the Ru-Nettes,

235. and Baby Is Love by the super duper Ru-Premes.

236. Now, you need to write your own unforgettable verses

237. and come up with your own group choreography.

238. And in the spirit of true girl power,

239. I'm gonna let you form your own groups.

240. Feel free to use items

241. provided by Snag Tights

242. and hair provided by Wigs and Grace.

243. Dream Girls, start your engines,

244. and may the best drag queen win.

245. Okay. Here, I'll pass out the paper.

246. - Get some Sweet Tarts. - Sweet Tarts.

247. Okay, do we wanna start with the first one?

248. We all sit around and listen through all three tracks

249. to see which one that we gravitate towards the most.

250. - Bad Boy Baby. - Bitches, I want that.

251. The hard thing is that you wanna get the right song,

252. but you also wanna work with the right people.

253. This could get messy.

254. Okay, I'm just saying right now, bitch,

255. I want Bad Boy.

256. - I want Bad Boy. - Period, period.

257. I want Bad Boy. I want Bad Boy.

258. There really isn't a picking order.

259. It's mainly just girls fighting

260. and calling out what they want left and right.

261. Okay, shh. Everyone go one by one.

262. Let's go around in a circle.

263. Okay, I'll start with me. I want Bad Boy.

264. - Period. - I want Bad Boyperiod.

265. Oh, I want the Ru-Premes, bitch.

266. I want the Ru-Premes, too.

267. - I want Bad Boy. - I want Ru-Premes.

268. I want Bad Boy, and I've been real quiet

269. and always taking a backseat when we're choosing stuff,

270. so that's what I want.

271. I definitely, definitely want the Ru-Premes for sure.

272. Am I the only one that wants the Ru-Nettes?

273. - Yeah. - I guess so.

274. Yes, you are indeed.

275. I'll do the Ru-Nettes with you.

276. You'll do the Ru-Nettes with me? Okay.

277. Well, someone needs to—

278. someone needs to bow out for something.

279. I'm sticking to Bad Boy. I'm not changing my mind.

280. I am not changing my mind.

281. Pretty much digging my claws into Bad Boy, so...

282. I am truly not changing my mind on this one.

283. Y'all gonna have to rock, paper, scissors.

284. - No, bitch. - Yeah.

285. Daya is just being a little baby,

286. like, I want this, I want this.

287. - Nobody's willing to sacrifice? - I'm not.

288. Damn, girl, y'all some hard bitches, girls.

289. - Damn! - I am not changing.

290. We're all just having a stare-down.

291. Like, who's gonna quit? Who's gonna fold?

292. At this point, we're all, like,

293. we have to get what we want

294. or we might be going home.

295. Coming up...

296. She likes to watch.

297. Oh, shit.

298. We're all just having a stare-down.

299. Like, who's gonna fold?

300. I'll be a team player and just do the Ru-Nettes.

301. That's fine, you know.

302. Come on, team player.

303. And if I go home,

304. I'm gonna fuck y'all up, bitch. No I'm just kidding.

305. No, you ain't, girl.

306. DeJa is doing a little kumbaya-ing.

307. She's taking the safe way out.

308. I hope that the group that she goes with

309. ends up working well together.

310. Actually, I don't hope that.

311. - Let's go work. - All right.

312. Now it's time to write our own lyrics

313. choreograph our own numbers,

314. and come up with

315. completely distinct characters for everyone.

316. This is a hell of a challenge.

317. I feel like we should, like, approach this

318. as, like, this could potentially be,

319. like, a group win.

320. Like, I feel like a lot of the other challenges

321. that we've done recently it's, like, singular.

322. And we were all very... you know, strong

323. about wanting to be—

324. I sound like such a bitch.

325. I do, too, but at this point, I don't really care.

326. Should we kind of formulate the lyrics together?

327. Yeah, we need to bounce off of each other.

328. Start with who's this boy? Where did we meet him?

329. Drive-through, the shake shop.

330. The bathroom. Maybe they were in a—

331. Drive-in movie.

332. What's when people go on walks in the woods,

333. what is that called? Um...

334. Walking. In the woods.

335. No. No, no, no.

336. It's, like, a gay thing.

337. Hiking?

338. Hiking?

339. The gays love hiking.

340. I have worked with Willow and Bosco

341. in the last challenge.

342. We know how to reference something,

343. but still make it our own,

344. and I think that's what makes our team so strong.

345. Cruising?

346. - Cruising. Cruising. - Yeah.

347. All right, let's get into this.

348. Yes. We got The Ru-Nettes, bitches.

349. We did, and I'm so glad we did.

350. Yes, honestly.

351. I mean, it wasn't my first choice.

352. - Yes. - Yeah.

353. - I'm fine with it, though. - Yeah.

354. I'm a diplomatic person.

355. I was like, y'all can have it. Who cares?

356. - Girl, they were feisty. - They were pressed.

357. - It's okay. - Yeah, very pressed.

358. I'm not worried about it.

359. DeJa is taking this like a champ,

360. and she's saying fuck The Shang-Ru-La's,

361. and she is just, like, I am a full Ru-Nette now.

362. - Okay, so let's listen to this. - Yes.

363. Okay.

364. I am realizing that Jasmine can't sing a lick.

365. Girl, they'll autotune it up.

366. Right, right, right.

367. First of all, y'all know

368. The Supremes is RuPaul's favorite music group.

369. So that's a lot of pressure,

370. but that's also a great opportunity to excel here.

371. I perform Diana Ross a lot, like, in my regular act.

372. I am, like, a fan, bitch.

373. I been waiting to sing.

374. I did wanna go, like, a little churchy with it.

375. I'm gonna end it on, like, a higher note,

376. and be like,

377. I like that.

378. The Ru-Premes is going to be

379. a make it or break it moment.

380. If we are all on board, it's going to be epic.

381. I will be expecting a Grammy.

382. Good luck to the other white bitches.

383. Yeah, all those white bitches, innit?

384. All of them, darling.

385. - Hey, y'all! - Hi!

386. It is recording time,

387. and we are recording our song in front of Michelle Visage.

388. Say hi to David Steinberg.

389. - Hello. - He along with Erik Paparazzi

390. have produced and written this track.

391. I'm excited.

392. - Good. You should be. - Yes.

393. The Supremes were the most successful female group.

394. Seeing these women of color

395. on TV in prime time was a really big deal.

396. - Yes. - So, Angeria, you're up first.

397. Yes.

398. I know that Michelle was in a singing group,

399. so I am nervous boots.

400. Cut. Cute.

401. Ooh, okay.

402. Here's the secret to sounding like Diana Ross.

403. When your mouth is at rest,

404. it's wide open and I can see your teeth.

405. Open. Open bigger.

406. All you can.

407. Let's try one more time like that.

408. I feel like Angie could easily win this,

409. because she knows how to sound like Diana Ross.

410. She does impersonations of her,

411. so I feel like they're gonna eat her up.

412. I think we got it.

413. I feel so accomplished!

414. Yes, Angie!

415. Kerri, okay, baby doll, what's the song about to you?

416. To me, it's more about expressing what my baby offers.

417. That's why he's your baby.

418. Yeah, that's why he's imaginary.

419. Let's start.

420. That was pitchy.

421. Yeah, all of it was off.

422. Kerri has a nice voice,

423. but maybe Kerri hasn't sung in a while.

424. Let's find the pitch.

425. So stay there? Don't go higher?

426. Well, what were you doing?

427. I'm always gonna go for simpler.

428. This time when we do it, give me some character voice.

429. Gimme some, like, life in your voice.

430. Don't worry about just sounding pretty.

431. I don't think that

432. I'm completely up a creek with no paddle,

433. but I just don't know

434. if I'm giving exactly what they're looking for.

435. Wait.

436. So...

437. Hello. Oh, my God, it's The Shang-Ru-La's!

438. I'm a little nervous.

439. We are, like, channeling this peppy '60s energy

440. to talk about something, like, a little bit bizarre.

441. Fingers crossed Michelle is smelling what we're stepping in.

442. Let's see the character you're gonna give us.

443. Okay.

444. She likes to watch.

445. You dirty little vixen.

446. I'm going for poet laureate

447. if Drag Racesuperstar doesn't work out.

448. It's actually funny. Your words are funny.

449. Okay, Daya Betty.

450. I know I can sing, but it's been a while

451. since I've lubricated the pipes, you know?

452. We'll start out with your verse.

453. "He looks like our uncle, but we can't say no."

454. What the fuck is wrong with you?

455. - Keep that character, okay? - Okay.

456. Watch out, Johnny!

457. My big old man voice crack.

458. - No, it's great. - Thank you.

459. Betty is on beat.

460. Okay, pop quiz.

461. What do you know about The Ronettes?

462. They are a sister and cousin trio.

463. Okay.

464. They love their lower cat eyes down.

465. I love how you just paid attention to the makeup.

466. The thing is about The Ronettes,

467. they were produced by Phil Spector

468. and the Wall of Sound.

469. So you're gonna hear this big backing behind you.

470. When Ronnie Spector sings, her voice cuts through.

471. Now, do any of you sing?

472. No.

473. Eew.

474. I don't even know if I can carry a note,

475. so I'm going into this reluctant,

476. because I don't know what I'm gonna sound like.

477. Okay, cut.

478. - That's actually not terrible. - Okay.

479. So we need crisp.

480. That was very Ronnie.

481. Can I do it without the background vocals though?

482. You wanna go solo already, DeJa?

483. She's already Beyoncé-ing this group.

484. No, she's Ronnie Spector-ing this shit.

485. Cut. That was cute.

486. - Yeah, that was cute. - I love that, DeJa.

487. DeJa is killing it.

488. She said she wasn't a singer,

489. but I have a feeling

490. she just wasn't telling us the full tea.

491. When Jorgeous starts singing,

492. it is like nails on a chalkboard.

493. All tea.

494. Okay.

495. I love your energy.

496. Okay.

497. Help.

498. You're rushing the lines.

499. Just relax and get in the groove.

500. Because right now, everything is really rushed.

501. I say maybe we should do line by line.

502. Yeah.

503. The day. The day—

504. I don't think Michelle's liking what I'm giving,

505. so I'm really struggling right now.

506. There's no "me-eht."

507. Oh, my God, I keep on doing it.

508. "Met" is one syllable.

509. Me-et him.

510. No, met hi-im.

511. Oh, shit.

512. She's pitchy, she's off-note,

513. she doesn't know what she's singing,

514. her repetition's bad.

515. Oh, fuck.

516. Should we try to talk it?

517. Uh...

518. I'm nervous.

519. Coming up...

520. And then six, seven, eight.

521. One more time with that one.

522. Yeah.

523. We stop here?

524. Kerri is struggling with the choreo.

525. This is the chorus.

526. Five, six, seven, eight.

527. Ooh.

528. Ooh, girl.

529. All right, bitches, here we go.

530. It's finally time to get into this choreography

531. for the '60s girl group.

532. I'm a choreographer by day,

533. and I know that Jorgeous and Jasmine

534. are performers and dancers.

535. So I feel like we kind of have the edge

536. over the other groups.

537. I think we should do, like,

538. a boom, tap, boom, tap, boom, tap, boom, tap.

539. When you're doing it, though, think more just, like, relaxed.

540. Relaxed. Okay.

541. Because you're really, like, straightening.

542. Just kind of like a—just relaxed kind of thing, yeah.

543. Boom, tap, boom, tap.

544. I know you got that cheerleader in you,

545. but don't be so like, huh, huh.

546. Just be, like, more of— like, break up your movements.

547. - Don't be straight with it. - Got it.

548. So just be very, like, break, break.

549. Yeah, but you're still kind of doing, like, tk, tk, tk.

550. Just be, like, boom, boom.

551. - More fluid with it. - Yes.

552. I think we should go to the next part

553. before we clean it up after.

554. Pause. Can we do it from the top?

555. Because we need to get this.

556. Okay.

557. I noticed that Jorgie and Jasmine

558. are getting a little frustrated with DeJa.

559. When we—no, you're more, like, be in the middle.

560. No, like, in the middle of this.

561. And I'll be more over here, just—

562. No, no, no. No, no, no. Don't be so stance here.

563. Be more— a little bit more open.

564. DeJa is a cheer coach.

565. Go back to where you were.

566. And not only that, she's a cheer coach for kids.

567. So it's like,

568. Yeah, that's a little too theater to me.

569. Just a little too...

570. I don't think that's gonna work too well

571. on two 21-year-old divas.

572. Okay, so are we feeling good?

573. Next!

574. Wilson Phillips is up.

575. All right!

576. I used to choreograph in Denver,

577. but I didn't really let anyone know

578. that I used to do choreography

579. because I don't wanna have this loud bark

580. and then a really weak bite.

581. This will be a nice point for myself,

582. and then these for y'all.

583. Do you wanna start from the first verse?

584. That's when you start to step forward, yeah.

585. Two, three, four and five,

586. six, stares at me.

587. The Shang-Ru-La's are really turning it out in choreography.

588. They're coming up with some really cute stuff.

589. I'm really enjoying what they're doing,

590. and I kind of wanna, like, join in.

591. Yeah.

592. Ha, hold, hold.

593. Girl.

594. Yes, Willow.

595. Willow is killing it.

596. Willow must make a lot of money at the casinos,

597. because she keeps her cards very close to her chest,

598. and she don't want anybody to know what she can do.

599. All right, Supremes,

600. we are living in simplicity and beauty and elegance today.

601. Although I'm not a singer-songwriter,

602. I am a choreographer, so this is my opportunity

603. to step in and make sure

604. that our team looks fucking brilliant.

605. Five, six, seven, eight.

606. Now we're gonna go right, left, right, left.

607. - Mm-hmm. - High, high, low, low.

608. - Right and left. - One, two, three, four.

609. Right, left, that's it.

610. Right, left. I know that Kerri and Angie

611. are not dancers, which is fine.

612. So I'm making sure that what we're doing

613. is not gonna confuse them or overwhelm them too much.

614. I'm trying to just give us mostly walking, mostly arms.

615. Really trying to make them feel comfortable

616. and not let them get stressed out about doing too much.

617. Now turn, one and two, three.

618. - And turn. - That's it.

619. And then just keep turning to face the front.

620. Okay. Now let me see you do that again.

621. - So if you—if I'm Angeria—

622. Baby, I am not a dancer. I got two right feet.

623. Right.

624. Like, I got two white feet.

625. I might have two white feet. I don't know.

626. Because, you know, Black people have more rhythm than I do,

627. so I might have two white feet.

628. And one and two and three and four

629. and five and six and seven and eight.

630. I know Camden is trying to create choreography

631. that caters to Angie and Kerri, but it is a lot of this.

632. Now we're going left doing this. Whoo.

633. Now we're going right doing this. Whoo.

634. Four and five, six.

635. Now we do the fun zhuzhie one.

636. One, two, three, four,

637. and next, six, seven, eight.

638. - One more time with that one. - Yeah.

639. All right.

640. One and two and three and four.

641. This is the chorus.

642. Oh! And seven and eight.

643. Oof.

644. Ooh, girl.

645. Kerri is struggling.

646. And then we stop here?

647. You know when you see a car accident

648. that goes very slow motion?

649. That's what I feel like I'm watching right now.

650. Go, one, two—

651. Wait, is mine playing?

652. Oh.

653. I'm a little worried about them, because at the end of the day,

654. that is RuPaul's favorite girl group.

655. We have a lot of work to do, but we have something.

656. Coming up...

657. You had said some things about me

658. that you have not yet said to my face.

659. Well, you were busy trying to lip sync for your life,

660. so I didn't wanna bother you.

661. - Oh! - Oh!

662. Girl.

663. Whew!

664. It is time to get ready for our girl group performances,

665. and, oh, I'm excited.

666. I was born to be a Supreme.

667. Ooh!

668. So I know our challenge this week

669. was based off of, like, '60s girl groups,

670. but, like, who are some girl groups that y'all listen to?

671. My favorite is definitely Destiny's Child.

672. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

673. - Danity Kane. - Yes!

674. Mine is absolutely 100% the Spice Girls, for sure.

675. Oh, shocker.

676. I know I always talk about the Spice Girls

677. and how much I love them, but it's more than just the music.

678. Girl power is a really fierce message

679. that I would always literally just think about

680. whenever I was feeling, like, bullied at school or whatever.

681. Girl power was, like, a little mantra

682. of, like, I don't need much, I just need my girls around me.

683. I love that.

684. I remember being heckled at by idiots on the playground,

685. and my girlfriends would clap back with things,

686. and it just made me feel so protected.

687. And that's sort of to me why girl power is so important.

688. I'ma take y'all to a different place.

689. Some of my favorite girl groups are the En Vogues

690. and the SWVs and the Xscapes of the world.

691. I always enjoyed those girl groups,

692. but, like, because of how I was raised,

693. I never grew up listening to them.

694. I would have got my ass beat if I was caught.

695. - Oh, really? - Oh, my God.

696. I used to hum Survivor,

697. and I would literally get spanked for it.

698. Why?

699. My mom was committed to making sure

700. that the Lord was the focus of the house.

701. As a child, I would see Beyoncé or Destiny's Child,

702. and I'd be like, oh, my goodness.

703. You could tell they were just having fun,

704. and for so much of my earlier life,

705. I felt so restricted because I was, like,

706. why am I not allowed to be who I wanna be?

707. Like, you couldn't listen to, like,

708. you know, like, a certain kind of music?

709. Absolutely not, it was—

710. Secular, like, non-Christian music was out the window.

711. Oh, damn.

712. We'd be, like, in the mall or something,

713. and, you know, those songs are big,

714. so they'd play, like, the music videos in the mall.

715. And, child, I would just stop in the middle of the mall

716. and be, like...

717. I'd get my ear pulled so hard.

718. Aw.

719. But it just made me wanna listen to them even more

720. and, like, understand, like, why I was so obsessed.

721. When it's a sing-along,

722. you know, everyone's favorite Lil' Kim song,

723. you will see me in a corner bopping,

724. but I won't know the words

725. because I never grew up listening to those words.

726. So just be patient with me, y'all,

727. because I do come from a very different place.

728. Bosco, can we talk about you

729. winning the fucking reading challenge?

730. Yeah!

731. I feel really, really happy

732. that my shit-talking skills were seen and appreciated.

733. Yeah, you slayed it.

734. Also, Jasmine, I do wanna know

735. where your read for me kind of stemmed from.

736. Oh, well...

737. I was a little shook by Jasmine saying I was two-faced.

738. What did I do to you? I just need to know.

739. I did hear in the Untuckedof the Glamazon Prime challenge

740. that you had said some things about me

741. that you have not yet said to my face.

742. - Well, child? - Like what?

743. Along the lines of I rely on my body to sell a garment,

744. and that skinny girls just rely on the fact that they're skinny.

745. Jasmine literally wrapped

746. just fabric around her body with a belt.

747. It's just, like, so annoying

748. when someone has a perfect physique,

749. and they can get away with

750. wrapping a piece of fucking fabric around their body.

751. Yeah, I said that.

752. I did.

753. But it's not like I didn't address it.

754. I did say it, and I did mention it later

755. when I was talking to Jorgeous.

756. Right, but not to me.

757. Well, girl, you were busy trying to lip sync for your life,

758. so I didn't wanna bother you.

759. - Oh! - The girls are fighting.

760. I've been very honest how I feel about people,

761. and I just thought you would do the same.

762. I have been honest, bitch.

763. It's your body, whatever, you know?

764. But I wasn't shading you on that.

765. I was just shading you because your outfit was bad.

766. - Oh! - Oh!

767. Girl!

768. Honestly, Daya is upset because she hasn't won anything yet.

769. But, girl, you weren't in the top for that challenge

770. because your shit was wrinkled and it looked ugly.

771. Period.

772. I just wanted to know why you read me like that. That's it.

773. Right, and I just told you.

774. Okay. Werk.

775. She didn't apologize, though.

776. She still didn't freaking apologize.

777. But I'm cool, calm, and collected,

778. because I'm not going to let her throw me off my game.

779. No tea, no shade.

780. - No pink lemonade. - No tea, but all shade.

781. Whatever.

782. Yas, tinsel town.

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

784. My love child, Michelle Visage.

785. My world is empty without you, Ru.

786. My boyfriend's back,

787. and it's style superstar Carson Kressley.

788. Shh, Ru, don't say anything.

789. My wife and kids watch this program.

790. And he's so fine.

791. Actor/comedian Alec Mapa is here.

792. Do-lang, do-lang.

793. Hey, Ru, do you know what's my favorite thing from the '60s

794. that's still swinging?

795. - No, what? - My balls!

796. This week we challenged our queens

797. to pay homage to iconic '60s girl groups,

798. and on the runway, category is Heart On.

799. Racers, start your engines,

800. and may the best drag queen win.

801. Coming up...

802. Flashback, 1964.

803. It's time to hear the sound of young America.

804. Now let the music play!

805. Singing Bad Boy Baby, it's The Shang-Ru-La's.

806. Look over there. Can you see our man?

807. Actually, I don't. I forgot my glasses.

808. We see him everywhere we go.

809. Wow, wow, wow, he's our stalker.

810. She likes to watch.

811. Watch out, Johnny!

812. Singing He's My Baby, it's The Ru-Nettes.

813. The day that I first met him.

814. I knew that he was mine.

815. Every time he goes away.

816. He's always on my mind.

817. I never knew I needed him.

818. As I spend these nights alone,

819. I just want him so bad.

820. I love him so much.

821. I really do.

822. What's it gonna take?

823. I just want him to notice me.

824. And if he doesn't, I may go insane.

825. Come on, papi.

826. Look into my eyes.

827. Tell me you love me.

828. Te quiero mucho.

829. Singing Baby is Love, it's the super duper Ru-Premes.

830. My baby is always number one.

831. And my baby compares to none.

832. My baby is cream of the crop.

833. Thank you all for coming out tonight.

834. Give it up for The Shang-Ru-La's,

835. The Ru-Nettes, and we are The Ru-Premes.

836. And remember, if you don't have a baby,

837. you can't have mine.

838. Coming up...

839. You nailed it.

840. You understand what this is.

841. The thing about being a girl group is—

842. Oh, she about to preach now.

843. Oh, I'm gonna write this down.

844. Category is Heart On.

845. Up first, Wiwwow Piww. Ooh!

846. What a panty-dropper.

847. I am scuttling down this runway

848. because I can barely move in this tight heart thong dress.

849. The top thong is the Borat-style thong.

850. I've got some briefs, I've got some silky pajamas,

851. and hair that looks like I just got fucked in the woods.

852. Ooh, girl, two thongs don't make a right.

853. Daya Betty.

854. Boy, has JoJo Siwa grown up.

855. I am giving the judges cyberpunk love.

856. I've got safety pins going up and down my sleeves,

857. and I am just strutting my shit out

858. feeling like a bad bitch.

859. Why, I aorta!

860. Aorta? I don't even knowa.

861. Bosco.

862. Eat your heart.

863. I'm giving you vampiric mistress

864. having a midnight snack.

865. I feel like it's a very bold move

866. for drag queens to wear all white.

867. We have to pay a lot in dry cleaning for this.

868. I turn around and...

869. - Ooh! - Whoo!

870. My hole winks at Michelle.

871. Rooty-tooty, fresh and booty.

872. Fangs up, ass out. The judges are eating it.

873. Well, that fat ass reminds me,

874. I need to take my Lipitor.

875. DeJa Skye.

876. You know, I like

877. that she always wears her heart on her shoulder.

878. I am giving a complete anime superhero fantasy.

879. I have big, blue hair, Dame Edna glasses,

880. and this latex is hugging every single curve

881. of this big, beautiful bovine.

882. Hey, Pulmonary Mary.

883. Coronary? When did I eat coronary?

884. Jorgeous.

885. Ahh, I love a Power Puff Girl.

886. Mm-hmm.

887. You wanted heart, bitch,

888. I will give you a big-ass heart.

889. I am wearing my heart wings

890. with the ostrich feathers on it,

891. and I'm giving you bra and panty

892. because the bitch could wear it.

893. And you know how the judges are reacting.

894. Come on, Arrhythmia Franklin.

895. Jasmine Kennedie.

896. These have always brought me oxygenated blood.

897. My inspiration for the runway is from Hercules.

898. I am Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.

899. Nobody can tell me this gown ain't right.

900. My hair, you can't even tell it's a wig, mama.

901. I own the entire cardiology department.

902. Angeria Paris VanMicheals.

903. Oh, look. That look is bangin'.

904. I am a '60s Mod Harajuku Barbie doll fantasy.

905. And boom, there it is.

906. I heart you.

907. My look is fun, it's fantasy.

908. I want the judges to see that there's more to Angeria

909. than just glamour and pageantry.

910. Wait a minute. Sia is Black?

911. Kerri Colby.

912. This look makes my heart skip a teat.

913. Some people might say I don't have much of a heart,

914. but this is living proof that I absolutely do have one,

915. and I ripped it out just for you to see.

916. I'm definitely giving something just a little bit twisted.

917. Also, there are Louboutins on the feet.

918. Bloody shoes for a bloody bitch.

919. Come on, deep vein thrombosis.

920. Lady Camden.

921. Okay, Cupid!

922. Lady Camden: I am feeling gorgeous

923. in my Cupid struck with her own arrows look.

924. The arrows are sticking through my heart

925. because I've fallen madly in love,

926. and I cannot be saved.

927. It's too late! Go on without me!

928. Michelle, think twice

929. before you sign up for that archery class.

930. I think her name is Mildred Pierced.

931. Coming up...

932. This look tonight is really pretty.

933. I love this.

934. In this challenge,

935. you just weren't as good as the others.

936. Welcome, queens.

937. This week you competed as teams,

938. but tonight you'll be judged as individuals.

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

940. Wiwwow Piww.

941. Bosco.

942. Jorgeous.

943. You are safe.

944. Ladies, you may leave the stage.

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

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

947. starting with Daya Betty.

948. You were in character the entire time,

949. and the thing about being a girl group is—

950. Oh, she about to preach now.

951. - Oh, here it comes. - You better write this down.

952. You do all have to be together.

953. But there's always one that kind of grabs the limelight,

954. and in your group, I think it was you.

955. Thank you.

956. This look I love.

957. You gave us something a little bit unexpected.

958. It's just a very fun, updated version

959. of what I would call Club Kid couture.

960. And there's a way of doing things

961. where if you do one wrong thing,

962. it could look arts and crafty, and you didn't do that.

963. I'm so excited to see the trajectory that you're on,

964. because just when you needed to,

965. you've hit the pedal to the metal.

966. Oh, thank you.

967. Up next, DeJa Skye.

968. When you all came in, I said, okay, does anybody sing?

969. And you all said, "Nope."

970. And it's funny, because DeJa, you can sing.

971. Thank you.

972. You gave us that '60s glamour.

973. You honored the brand,

974. but then you brought the drag sensibility:

975. the humor, the camp.

976. I think this look is adorable.

977. This is different to anything we've ever seen you in.

978. I love the superhero vibe.

979. I almost wanna go further with it,

980. with a thigh high boot and an invisible plane.

981. Up next, Jas-mine Kennedie.

982. Hi!

983. Singing my not be your forte.

984. I think you were selling it most of the time

985. with joy and enthusiasm.

986. And then there were those moments

987. where we could see, you know, in your head,

988. you were thinking, like, do I turn here? Do I go there?

989. I could see you thinking about the dance steps

990. instead of being the character.

991. You never wanna make the viewer uncomfortable or nervous,

992. and I think that's what's happening.

993. I am such— like, I'm a choreo girl.

994. I, like, had it for so many years,

995. and, like, I just wanted to hit it perfect.

996. And I just, like, feel like I let you guys down—

997. - No, you didn't let us down— - I know.

998. It's just, like, I harp on myself so much.

999. I'm sorry to cut you off.

1000. It just, like...

1001. It was fun. It was fun.

1002. It just, you know, in this challenge,

1003. you just weren't as good as the others.

1004. Yeah. I understand. Thank you so much.

1005. Up next, Angeria.

1006. The Supremes. It's the most recognizable reference

1007. out of all the girl groups, and you nailed it.

1008. The Supremes were my first obsession musically.

1009. You sold it in a way

1010. that let us know you understand what this is.

1011. This runway look, first of all, I love the hair.

1012. I had that same cut in the third grade.

1013. I like the color block.

1014. You're kind of giving me '60s Cruella de Vil.

1015. - It's so much fun. - Thank you.

1016. - Up next, Kerri Colby. - Hello.

1017. We had some issues vocally, but we figured it out.

1018. You ended up sounding really great.

1019. But in the challenge, there were moments

1020. where I was taken out of Ru-Premes and into church.

1021. Sometimes it was so big that it was very gospel,

1022. which I love, but it wasn't The Ru-Premes.

1023. And lyrically, I thought

1024. you could have had more fun with the lyrics,

1025. sort of the wink-wink, nudge-nudge of it all.

1026. This is supposed to all be, like, blood vessels, right?

1027. - Arteries, yeah. - Okay.

1028. That's really the fashion moment there,

1029. so I didn't need the necklace or maybe even the gloves.

1030. I can't stand the fact that I can see your pantyhose.

1031. Like, just pantyhose.

1032. I would have preferred it even if you put a nude panty.

1033. Something over it. That's all I was looking at.

1034. Your body's amazing,

1035. but I don't wanna walk away just remembering your body.

1036. I wanna walk away remembering you.

1037. Up next, Lady Camden.

1038. This look tonight is really pretty.

1039. It borderlines on costumey.

1040. I love costumes. I love this.

1041. The proportions are great, it looks great, you sold it.

1042. In the girl group,

1043. I thought your voice sounded nice on the recording.

1044. But with your performance,

1045. find those moments where you can really be the star.

1046. I think your softness and your shyness

1047. will affect you in this competition.

1048. You need to find your spotlight.

1049. You don't wanna fade into the background.

1050. You hit last week out of the park.

1051. In the challenge, in the runway,

1052. and in the lip sync, amazing.

1053. Whatever you were doing with that,

1054. apply it to everything.

1055. Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.

1056. While you untuck in the werkroom,

1057. the judges and I will deliberate.

1058. Okay, now, just between us squirrelettes,

1059. what do you think?

1060. Starting with Daya Betty.

1061. She nailed it, and it wasn't just her vocal prowess.

1062. She had the right attitude.

1063. Yeah, she really understood who The Shang-Ru-La's were.

1064. Those were the bad girls,

1065. and her lyrics were nihilistic and weird.

1066. Yeah, in these last two weeks, Daya Betty has come to play.

1067. DeJa Skye.

1068. She came in to record, you guys,

1069. and she said, "No, I don't know how to sing."

1070. And then she opened her mouth and was, like,

1071. And then this runway look, there were some fit issues,

1072. but I think overall it was fun.

1073. It wasn't my favorite look,

1074. but at this point in the competition,

1075. you have to keep switching it up to keep our interest,

1076. and that's exactly what DeJa did.

1077. All right, next up we've got Jasmine Kennedie.

1078. In the girl group challenge,

1079. yeah, it was a rocky performance.

1080. I know she's a dancer,

1081. but the choreography looked a little clunky,

1082. like she might topple over.

1083. It was weird, right?

1084. While I didn't heart this runway look,

1085. it was okay, it was pretty.

1086. If those hearts had opened up

1087. and there was something in there...

1088. Like airline liquor bottles, or if a bird flew out of it.

1089. - Yeah! - Live butterflies.

1090. Well, actually, that doesn't work out too well on this show.

1091. Angeria.

1092. Her vocals were really fun.

1093. I thought she delivered them really well.

1094. But what she really knew better than anybody

1095. was how to be a Ru-Preme.

1096. That sort of carefree feeling that The Supremes had,

1097. she got that.

1098. On the runway, maybe a little literal.

1099. It was called Heart On challenge,

1100. and she had a heart on her chest.

1101. But when she came around the corner,

1102. I was like, "Who is that?"

1103. We've never seen Angeria in anything like that.

1104. This is what the pageant girls know how to do.

1105. They know when to switch it up and how to switch it up.

1106. Kerri Colby.

1107. In the performance, Kerri lacked what Angeria possessed,

1108. which was that airiness, that lightness.

1109. Her body was kind of forward,

1110. and Angeria was standing straight up, up and down,

1111. like Diana Ross used to.

1112. And the simple adjustment from this to this

1113. would have elevated it.

1114. And then on the runway, it was a super chic idea.

1115. Yeah, unfortunately,

1116. the focus turned out to be on the waistband,

1117. which is the wrong place to have the focus on your outfit.

1118. All right, let's move on down to Lady Camden.

1119. I thought this runway look was really pretty.

1120. Not the most inventive.

1121. I think the arrows may have been too big,

1122. because it took away from the Greek beauty of the outfit,

1123. the silhouette.

1124. Girl group challenge, I lost her there.

1125. She faded to the background.

1126. I can't even tell you what she looked like.

1127. Was her hair blonde? Was it brunette?

1128. I don't remember.

1129. Right now, I'm just losing her in the mix,

1130. and I don't want to do that.

1131. Silence!

1132. I have forgotten my line.

1133. I've only been doing it for 13 years!

1134. Bring back my girls.

1135. Welcome back, ladies.

1136. I've made some decisions.

1137. Daya Betty, you're a bad girl, baby,

1138. and we like it that way.

1139. Con-drag-ulations.

1140. You are the winner of this week's challenge.

1141. You've won a cash prize of $5,000 courtesy of Snag Tights.

1142. - Yes! - Yes!

1143. Thank you guys so much.

1144. I just won my first challenge.

1145. I feel like I'm blacking out right now.

1146. Angeria and DeJa, good work.

1147. You're both safe.

1148. - Yes! - You may join the other girls.

1149. Thank you, guys.

1150. Jasmine Kennedie. You're a tasty queen,

1151. but your performance lacked spice, girl.

1152. Kerri Colby. You're a beautiful queen,

1153. but your performance was not a dream, girl.

1154. Lady Camden. You are a supreme queen,

1155. but this week, you didn't keep me hanging on.

1156. Lady Camden, you're safe.

1157. Thank you so much.

1158. I will not let you down next week.

1159. You may join the other girls.

1160. I love you.

1161. Jasmine, Kerri, I'm sorry, my dears,

1162. but you're up for elimination.

1163. I'm devastated,

1164. because I don't wanna lip sync against Kerri.

1165. Two queens stand before me.

1166. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

1167. and save yourself from elimination.

1168. The time has come...

1169. for you to lip sync...

1170. for your life!

1171. Lip syncing against Jasmine is absolutely heartbreaking.

1172. But at the same token, I'm totally feeling ready

1173. to slay the hell out of this lip sync,

1174. because I wanna make sure that I do not go home.

1175. Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

1176. Jasmine shoe has left the building.

1177. Baby, this lady is lip syncing with one shoe on.

1178. Oh, my God.

1179. Ladies, I've made my decision.

1180. Jasmine Kennedie, shantay you stay.

1181. Thank you.

1182. I love you so much.

1183. Kerri Colby.

1184. Your fate now rests in the hands of the drag gods.

1185. If you have the gold bar, you will be saved.

1186. Now let's see whatcha got.

1187. It is chocolate.

1188. Kerri Colby Carrington Dexter Morelle,

1189. forever may your dynasty reign.

1190. Now sashay away.

1191. I love you so much.

1192. I love you, twin.

1193. - I love you! - I'm so sorry.

1194. Well, I'm Kerri Colby, and all I can say is

1195. I'm so proud to be a part of RuPaul's Drag Race.

1196. I feel a little sad, but also accomplished.

1197. I learned that there's so much more to me

1198. than the things that I've always put

1199. so much pressure on myself for.

1200. I've been able to really become a lot more vulnerable,

1201. and I'm really, really proud of myself for that.

1202. All I have to really say is thank you so much,

1203. because this quite literally

1204. is the beginning of the rest of my life.

1205. Con-drag-ulations, ladies.

1206. And remember, if you can't love yourself,

1207. how the hell you gonna love somebody else?

1208. Can I get an "amen" up in here?

1209. - Amen! - Amen!

1210. All right. Now let the music play!

1211. Next time onRuPaul's Drag Race...

1212. You need to lead DragCon panels to tackle the topic of men.

1213. - You've got male... privilege.

1214. I've never had sex or been in a relationship

1215. because I only do anal.

1216. I knew about toxic masculi—

1217. toxic masculinity at a very young age.

1218. You know how to tell a joke.

1219. You were fucking hilarious.

1220. I think it is an incredibly stupid idea

1221. to count anybody out.

1222. She's like a little sister

1223. that I wanna bash her head into the concrete floor.
