1. - Previously on
"RuPaul's Drag Race"...
Copy !req
2. - This is my older sister.
Copy !req
3. - Older?
- Oh!
Copy !req
4. - We're both competitive,
and I think
Copy !req
5. she's gonna throw me
into the crocodiles.
Copy !req
6. - We are having a ball.
Copy !req
7. You need to create an outfit
using only menswear.
Copy !req
8. - Oh, we are lip-synching
this week, bitch.
Copy !req
9. - Girl, you in danger, girl.
Copy !req
10. - Nymphia, you're the winner
of this week's challenge.
Copy !req
11. Geneva Karr,
Hershii LiqCour-Jete,
Copy !req
12. Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige,
your peers
Copy !req
13. have rated you as the bottom
queens of the week.
Copy !req
14. - I am fucking pissed off.
Copy !req
15. These fucking perras.
Copy !req
16. - Geneva Karr,
shantay, you stay.
Copy !req
17. Hershii, sashay away.
Copy !req
18. - Ugh.
Copy !req
19. - Ooh, girl.
Copy !req
20. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
21. - Hershii has gone home,
and we're breathing
Copy !req
22. a sigh of relief that
we weren't the first to go.
Copy !req
23. And at the same time, like,
Hershii was my friend.
Copy !req
24. - It says, whiplash.
Copy !req
25. Love, Hershii.
Copy !req
26. - Whiplash, whiplash.
Copy !req
27. - There's a lot of emotions
going through my head,
Copy !req
28. because Hershii's one of the
persons that I got close to.
Copy !req
29. But you know, I did
what I got to do.
Copy !req
30. I definitely did not
deserve to be in the bottom.
Copy !req
31. I mean, the outfit speaks
for itself.
Copy !req
32. I think these queens
are shady because they
Copy !req
33. saved Mirage when Mirage
should have been in the bottom.
Copy !req
34. And I can see how they're
gonna start playing the game.
Copy !req
35. And that's OK, because
I can play a game too.
Copy !req
36. - Nymphia,
condragulations, miss diva.
Copy !req
37. - Do I get my leche now?
Copy !req
38. - Wait, wait, wait,
how does it feel?
Copy !req
39. - It feels crazy to actually,
like, win something of $5,000.
Copy !req
40. - Q, how do you feel?
Copy !req
41. - A little bummed
by the results,
Copy !req
42. honestly, because my outfit was
all unconventional materials
Copy !req
43. and also I got, like,
perfect critiques
Copy !req
44. and I don't think,
like, Nymphia did.
Copy !req
45. - She said, I almost
won once again.
Copy !req
46. - I know.
- Always a bridesmaid.
Copy !req
47. - It's like the second time
in the top.
Copy !req
48. It stings not winning,
but RuPaul, it's OK.
Copy !req
49. You made the wrong decision.
Copy !req
50. I forgive you.
Copy !req
51. Just don't let me lose
next time.
Copy !req
52. - So during "Untucked"
there was a little bit
Copy !req
53. of a tense moment between my
new sister and my old sister.
Copy !req
54. - Uh-huh.
Copy !req
55. - Younger sister.
Copy !req
56. - OK.
Copy !req
57. - I gave a little bit of
an unsolicited, you know,
Copy !req
58. opinion slash critique
on Amanda's look.
Copy !req
59. - The way I remember it is
that Plane came up to Amanda
Copy !req
60. and said, "Quite frankly,
I don't like
Copy !req
61. anything you've done
or who you are."
Copy !req
62. - Listen, listen.
Copy !req
63. - What's up?
Copy !req
64. - As we get to know
each other,
Copy !req
65. I hope you're able
to sort of sway my opinion
Copy !req
66. on how you've been looking.
Copy !req
67. It's no tea. It's no tea.
Copy !req
68. - The shade—ahh!
Copy !req
69. Adrenaline was flowing.
Copy !req
70. You know, cocktails were
also flowing.
Copy !req
71. And—
Copy !req
72. - Oh, now she blames it on
the edit and the alcohol.
Copy !req
73. - No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
74. I don't need to blame it
on anything.
Copy !req
75. I'll take responsibility
for what I said, baby.
Copy !req
76. I do want to apologize for
giving my unsolicited feedback
Copy !req
77. to you when it wasn't needed.
Copy !req
78. - Or even relevant
to the conversation.
Copy !req
79. - Sure.
Copy !req
80. - She honestly can eat
my fucking ass.
Copy !req
81. - It was the way that
you came up to her
Copy !req
82. and not having
the same relationship
Copy !req
83. that we do with her.
Copy !req
84. - Right.
- You did say
Copy !req
85. the same thing
that we have said to her.
Copy !req
86. To be fair.
Copy !req
87. It didn't feel the same
because you didn't
Copy !req
88. have that same relationship.
Copy !req
89. - Once I get to know you
a bit more,
Copy !req
90. maybe I can, you know,
shade you in a bit more
Copy !req
91. of a fun way instead of a—
Copy !req
92. - Well, I hope you stay around
long enough to do so.
Copy !req
93. - Likewise, girl.
Copy !req
94. Likewise.
Copy !req
95. Here's the deal.
You can't unring a bell.
Copy !req
96. Now it's just a matter of,
how can we move forward?
Copy !req
97. Are we each other's
favorite people now?
Copy !req
98. No. Does it matter to me?
Copy !req
99. No.
Copy !req
100. Let the shade begin.
Copy !req
101. - Don't look at this.
Copy !req
102. You'll see the safety pins
in the back, baby.
Copy !req
103. The winner
of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
Copy !req
104. receives a one year supply
Copy !req
105. of Anastasia Beverly Hills
cosmetics
Copy !req
106. and a gag-worthy grand prize
of $200,000
Copy !req
107. served by Cash App
Copy !req
108. with extra special guest judge
Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Copy !req
109. - Q.
Copy !req
110. - It's a new day in the Werk
Room, and I'm feeling pussy,
Copy !req
111. I'm feeling cunt,
and I am doing my best
Copy !req
112. to stay as far away
from Plane Jane as possible,
Copy !req
113. because I don't want
to get in trouble
Copy !req
114. for fighting her bitch ass.
Copy !req
115. - I'm ready to put
the ball behind me.
Copy !req
116. - Are we putting drama
behind us as well?
Copy !req
117. - I'm not quite so sure yet.
Copy !req
118. - We'll see how
things play out.
Copy !req
119. I think it's safe
to say I'm here
Copy !req
120. to shine like the big,
bright star that I am.
Copy !req
121. So...
- Stars are full of gas, baby.
Copy !req
122. - Hello, hello, hello.
Copy !req
123. My queens.
Copy !req
124. - Hey.
- Hi.
Copy !req
125. - America's next drag superstar
can't rely on
Copy !req
126. her good looks alone.
Copy !req
127. She's got to develop
her character.
Copy !req
128. So back by popular demand,
for this week's maxi challenge,
Copy !req
129. you'll be starring in the
sketch comedy show "RDR Live."
Copy !req
130. Today you need
to choose your parts
Copy !req
131. and rehearse
your padded asses off.
Copy !req
132. Because tomorrow you'll be
performing your sketches live
Copy !req
133. in one take.
Copy !req
134. - Let's go.
- All right.
Copy !req
135. - It's literally "SNL," honey.
Copy !req
136. I'm a little—
I'm goosebumps, mama.
Copy !req
137. Like, if you fuck it up,
that's it.
Copy !req
138. It's over.
Copy !req
139. - Now remember, this challenge
is all about creating
Copy !req
140. a breakout character.
Copy !req
141. Racers, start your engines,
Copy !req
142. and may the best
drag queen win.
Copy !req
143. - All right.
Copy !req
144. - "RDR Live."
Copy !req
145. There are five sketches.
Copy !req
146. - Why don't we just go
down the list of characters
Copy !req
147. and we can raise our hands if
we're interested in the role.
Copy !req
148. - Who wants Branderson Cooper?
Copy !req
149. I would love to have that role.
Copy !req
150. - And you're the only one.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
151. So it's mine.
Copy !req
152. - Who wants to be Donna Lemon?
Copy !req
153. And that's just you.
Copy !req
154. - I'm really interested
in News Anchor 1.
Copy !req
155. - I'd love to be News Anchor 2.
Copy !req
156. I see the newsroom sketch
Copy !req
157. with the late night anchors.
Copy !req
158. This is the Seth Meyers,
Amy Poehler moment
Copy !req
159. I have been waiting for.
Copy !req
160. - I'm also interested
in News Anchor 2.
Copy !req
161. - And then we have
brick from Stonewall,
Copy !req
162. which is all of you.
Copy !req
163. - How many people
want the brick?
Copy !req
164. - I'll take the brick.
Copy !req
165. The role of the brick,
I see so much potential
Copy !req
166. for, like, physical comedy
and I see myself in it
Copy !req
167. accepting the Oscar as a brick.
Copy !req
168. - There's really only one
thing that I want to do
Copy !req
169. and that's Candy Long.
Copy !req
170. So I'm gonna take Candy,
and I'm gonna let you girls
Copy !req
171. fight it out for Connie.
Copy !req
172. - Who wants to be Connie?
Copy !req
173. - Connie's slutty, right?
Copy !req
174. - Yeah, Connie's—
- She's flirty and fun.
Copy !req
175. - I'm a little nervous
about you doing Connie.
Copy !req
176. - Why are you nervous?
Copy !req
177. - You want the tea, sis?
Copy !req
178. I think that I'm going to excel
in this role...
Copy !req
179. - Uh-huh.
Copy !req
180. - And I want you
Copy !req
181. to excel in your role
as well, sister.
Copy !req
182. - So you think you're gonna
outshine me from the get go?
Copy !req
183. Because that's
what you're saying.
Copy !req
184. - I wasn't—I'm not saying
anything.
Copy !req
185. - That's what you're saying.
Copy !req
186. - I know, I know,
but I just want her—
Copy !req
187. - Stop making drama.
Copy !req
188. - I just want her reasoning.
Copy !req
189. - I would love to do Connie.
Copy !req
190. And we're both stupid sluts.
Copy !req
191. - We can slut it up.
Copy !req
192. - Yeah.
Copy !req
193. - I think she was scared that
I was gonna outshine her.
Copy !req
194. I didn't even want that role.
Copy !req
195. And you know what?
Copy !req
196. She's a cunt.
Copy !req
197. - And then the host
will be TBD.
Copy !req
198. - So who wants to host?
- Me.
Copy !req
199. - I want to host.
Copy !req
200. I really, really want
to do the hosting,
Copy !req
201. because it's not a character
and I can just put
Copy !req
202. my own personality into it.
Copy !req
203. - That honestly is the most
important role, I believe.
Copy !req
204. It sets the tone
and this person
Copy !req
205. has to absolutely destroy it.
Copy !req
206. - I feel like
I would do really well.
Copy !req
207. - I see Sapphira doing
really great in that too.
Copy !req
208. - I think it would be
very interesting to see
Copy !req
209. you in a host position.
Copy !req
210. - Sapphira, are you willing
to bow down and give—
Copy !req
211. - I'm never willing
to bow down.
Copy !req
212. - We could either do it rock,
paper, scissors, or votes.
Copy !req
213. I think that's the most fair.
Copy !req
214. - I'm gonna do Lowenstein.
Copy !req
215. - Oh.
- Oh.
Copy !req
216. - I really know that I'm gonna
turn out anything I do.
Copy !req
217. So she can have it.
Copy !req
218. - You sure about that?
You're locking it in?
Copy !req
219. - Mother has spoken.
- Yep.
Copy !req
220. - All right.
Copy !req
221. - I guess I'm hosting.
Copy !req
222. - Not "I guess."
Copy !req
223. - Not "I guess."
- I'm reading.
Copy !req
224. Yes, I guess I'll host.
Copy !req
225. - It seems like the second
that Sapphira gives Mirage
Copy !req
226. the role of host,
she's like, oh, OK.
Copy !req
227. I thought you wanted it.
Copy !req
228. - You good?
Copy !req
229. - Yeah.
Copy !req
230. It's making me second guess
if I want it,
Copy !req
231. because now I think
she's playing a game.
Copy !req
232. But at the end of the day,
I got what I wanted.
Copy !req
233. So can I really be mad at her?
Copy !req
234. - And then we have sketch five.
Copy !req
235. I think we should make
the singing girls do this one.
Copy !req
236. - This is literally
a preschool song.
Copy !req
237. This sketch is about
Barbra Streisand.
Copy !req
238. But I'm reading
the sketch and thinking,
Copy !req
239. you don't have to sing.
Copy !req
240. It's fucking "Jingle Bells."
Copy !req
241. You don't have to be
a choir director
Copy !req
242. to sing "Jingle Bells."
Copy !req
243. I'm sticking with
News Anchor 2.
Copy !req
244. - You would eat it up, Plasma.
Copy !req
245. - I feel like we could all do
great in a number of places.
Copy !req
246. I'd like to stick
with News Anchor 2.
Copy !req
247. - I think personally
that me and Amanda
Copy !req
248. have a great rapport.
Copy !req
249. We are becoming good friends.
Copy !req
250. And I think that we would
eat up Anchor 1 and 2 together.
Copy !req
251. I'm sorry, Plasma, but I
also think that Barbra Shop,
Copy !req
252. it's written for you, girl.
- It's written for you, babe.
Copy !req
253. - Me, Amanda, and Q
are all friends,
Copy !req
254. and we want to do
this scene together
Copy !req
255. and Plasma wants my role.
Copy !req
256. Like, can't you see
what's happening?
Copy !req
257. We've decided this already.
Copy !req
258. I'm so sorry, diva,
but like, you will
Copy !req
259. eat up Barbra Streisand.
I know this.
Copy !req
260. Can you do it?
Copy !req
261. Thanks.
Copy !req
262. Mwah, thank you, baby.
Copy !req
263. - I just feel like I was kicked
out of the news anchor group
Copy !req
264. without my—
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
265. It's just an opinion, girl.
Copy !req
266. - That a lot of people share.
Copy !req
267. - It feels very much
like I'm being
Copy !req
268. assigned a role by
someone who's never
Copy !req
269. cast a comedy show before.
Copy !req
270. Fine.
Copy !req
271. Well, at least give me the part
with the highest note
Copy !req
272. so I can belt.
I'll take Bryce.
Copy !req
273. - Anchor 1, 2,
and brick, right?
Copy !req
274. - I think that's settled.
- OK, cool.
Copy !req
275. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Copy !req
276. - Y'all better turn it out.
- Girl, you'll eat it up.
Copy !req
277. You'll be fine.
- You will.
Copy !req
278. - Girl, you know what?
You know what?
Copy !req
279. It would be convenient
for you to remind me
Copy !req
280. how good I am at what
you assign me to.
Copy !req
281. - All right, all right,
all right, all right.
Copy !req
282. - Gaslight, gatekeep,
girl boss.
Copy !req
283. Yes, Dawn, you better work.
Copy !req
284. - Let's make a show, ladies.
Copy !req
285. - Candy Long and Connie Thick.
Copy !req
286. - We are the first sketch.
Copy !req
287. So it's, like, really up to us
Copy !req
288. to, like, set the tone.
Copy !req
289. For this week's maxi challenge,
we're doing "RDR Live."
Copy !req
290. And we're gonna be
performing these sketches
Copy !req
291. in one take live.
Copy !req
292. Like...
Copy !req
293. - First of all,
I can sense some, um,
Copy !req
294. stern and unhappiness from you.
Copy !req
295. - I don't have a lot of warm,
fuzzy feelings about the way
Copy !req
296. the news anchor situation
was approached.
Copy !req
297. I just don't really appreciate
the card being played up like,
Copy !req
298. well, Amanda and I are
already close, so like,
Copy !req
299. it should be us.
Copy !req
300. I'm like, so are you
a package deal?
Copy !req
301. Like, is this dodgeball?
Copy !req
302. - Yeah.
Copy !req
303. - Can I sit at
the lunch table, girls?
Copy !req
304. I'm not someone who,
like, impersonates Barbra.
Copy !req
305. It's one of the impersonations
that I try to stay away from.
Copy !req
306. She is one of those people
that I hold in such high regard
Copy !req
307. that I don't want
to make fun of in any way.
Copy !req
308. - First of all,
thinking about not
Copy !req
309. disrespecting people
and all that kind of stuff,
Copy !req
310. this is comedy.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
311. - First and foremost.
Copy !req
312. So like, hello gorgeous.
Copy !req
313. - I do know so much about her
and I do love Barbra.
Copy !req
314. When I saw "Funny Girl"
for the first time,
Copy !req
315. I remember thinking,
this is a performance
Copy !req
316. like I've never seen before.
Copy !req
317. When she was 19 she made
her Broadway debut in
Copy !req
318. "I Can Get It For You
Wholesale."
Copy !req
319. She was actually one
of the first artists
Copy !req
320. I owned on vinyl.
Copy !req
321. Directed and starred
in "Yentl."
Copy !req
322. "Funny Girl" was
her first movie
Copy !req
323. and her second Broadway show
Copy !req
324. and then she, like,
moved to Hollywood.
Copy !req
325. They told her to get a nose job
and she didn't and then
Copy !req
326. she won the Oscar
her first time out.
Copy !req
327. It intimidates me to, like,
try—you know what?
Copy !req
328. Fuck the intimidation.
Copy !req
329. I'm gonna feel this fear
and I'm gonna do it anyway.
Copy !req
330. The spirit of Barbra
has never led me astray.
Copy !req
331. I'm gonna be OK.
Copy !req
332. So fuck you, fuck you,
fuck you, and fuck you.
Copy !req
333. I'm gonna worry about Barbra.
Copy !req
334. - I'll say Thick, you say Long,
and you say Deck Services.
Copy !req
335. - Call us at...
Copy !req
336. - Thick...
Copy !req
337. - And Long...
Deck services.
Copy !req
338. - OK, I kind of like that.
Copy !req
339. I kind of like that a lot,
actually.
Copy !req
340. - As someone from New York,
like,
Copy !req
341. "SNL" is a part of our culture.
Copy !req
342. And I'm a cosplayer and I love
playing characters.
Copy !req
343. So getting the chance
to do a weird character
Copy !req
344. and make it funny,
this is what I'm made for.
Copy !req
345. If there's anyone in this
that I'd want to be doing
Copy !req
346. this role with, it's you.
Copy !req
347. I feel like
our sense of humor is
Copy !req
348. very similar in the, like, oh,
Copy !req
349. I'm such a slutty,
beautiful woman.
Copy !req
350. - Sure.
Well, we're yet to see
Copy !req
351. your sort of full sense
of humor emerge.
Copy !req
352. - Truly.
Copy !req
353. - But hopefully
it will with this, diva.
Copy !req
354. I wanted to work with somebody
who was a little bit different.
Copy !req
355. And I feel like I kind of
got that with Megami
Copy !req
356. more so than I would have
with Morphine.
Copy !req
357. We're playing a game,
bitch, and I'm
Copy !req
358. trying to be strategic.
Copy !req
359. - Over here on Team Mirage,
we are struggling a little bit.
Copy !req
360. Initially I was excited
to work by myself.
Copy !req
361. But then upon realizing that
everyone else has someone
Copy !req
362. to run their ideas by
and bounce things off of
Copy !req
363. and now I'm like, if you drop
the ball, it's all on you.
Copy !req
364. So I don't have anybody
to blame besides myself.
Copy !req
365. - I'm hearing we have
a GOP leader joining us live
Copy !req
366. from South Carolina.
Copy !req
367. Senator Lindsey Graham.
Copy !req
368. - Hey, queens.
Copy !req
369. Call me Lady G or La Lindsey.
Copy !req
370. Now that I've gotten
to read my lines,
Copy !req
371. I am completely panicking.
Copy !req
372. After all these years of
hiding, I'm feeling my oats.
Copy !req
373. I don't have
a Southern accent,
Copy !req
374. and I don't know
who this character is.
Copy !req
375. - It bothered me a little bit
that Plane Jane
Copy !req
376. was like, oh,
I'm a little worried for you
Copy !req
377. to do this role with me.
Copy !req
378. And I'm like, why the fuck
would you be worried?
Copy !req
379. - But look, I have to say—
Copy !req
380. - Because she thought she was
Copy !req
381. gonna eat me alive
or something.
Copy !req
382. - Yeah, it gave very
that energy.
Copy !req
383. - She did, right?
Copy !req
384. I didn't like that.
Copy !req
385. - Sisters.
Copy !req
386. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
387. - Hi. How are y'all feeling?
Copy !req
388. - Absolutely amazing.
- Ready.
Copy !req
389. - Amazing.
Copy !req
390. I wanted to make sure
you have a part
Copy !req
391. where you can truly shine.
- Mm.
Copy !req
392. - Do you think that maybe
Plane just wanted to have
Copy !req
393. a clearer road to, like, excel?
Copy !req
394. - Yeah, I think she wanted
to clearer road to excel.
Copy !req
395. - Fuck my drag, I guess.
Copy !req
396. - That's what
I'm saying, bitch.
Copy !req
397. You better eat her up.
Copy !req
398. - My biggest worry
is being overshadowed
Copy !req
399. by Plane, because I already
know she can do this.
Copy !req
400. So I kind of have to bring
my game up to her level
Copy !req
401. or else I'll look like crap.
Copy !req
402. - Good luck, bitches.
- Good luck.
Copy !req
403. - On to the next corner.
Copy !req
404. - We're like RuPaul.
Copy !req
405. We're doing our own
little walk through.
Copy !req
406. - Ooh.
Copy !req
407. - What a fake
fucking cunt bitch.
Copy !req
408. - Y'all horrible.
Copy !req
409. I love being a part
of this group.
Copy !req
410. - We're disgusting and shady.
Copy !req
411. Now back to "RDR Live."
Copy !req
412. Live from Tuckahoe,
it's "RDR Live."
Copy !req
413. - This week's maxi challenge
is "RDR Live" sketch comedy.
Copy !req
414. This is a one take,
no mistakes, so no pressure.
Copy !req
415. - Hey, ladykins.
Copy !req
416. Now, we've got company.
Copy !req
417. - Hello.
Copy !req
418. - Say hello to Ross Mathews.
Copy !req
419. Hi.
Copy !req
420. - All right, come on down.
Copy !req
421. - Ladies, oh, thank you.
Copy !req
422. - OK, Morphine, Xunami,
Mhi'ya, and Geneva.
Copy !req
423. Now, raise your hand if you've
done sketch comedy before.
Copy !req
424. - Oh.
- Oh, OK.
Copy !req
425. - This will be fun.
Copy !req
426. - This ought to be really fun.
Copy !req
427. - Any OnlyFans or anything?
Copy !req
428. - No.
Copy !req
429. - You're a little shy, I think.
Copy !req
430. Is this a big
challenge for you?
Copy !req
431. - No.
- No.
Copy !req
432. One word answer.
Copy !req
433. - Getting in front of you two
is definitely intimidating.
Copy !req
434. - Yeah.
Copy !req
435. - I kind of like, I'm like this
when I'm in front of you two.
Copy !req
436. - Do you perform in
the clubs, right?
Copy !req
437. - Yes.
Copy !req
438. - OK, so when you're in the
clubs, you can't be
Copy !req
439. timid, right?
- No.
Copy !req
440. - It's when you
are able to express
Copy !req
441. yourself openly is
when the audience
Copy !req
442. can fall in love with you.
Copy !req
443. They will root for you
because they feel a kinship.
Copy !req
444. But if you have a wall up,
they can't get in.
Copy !req
445. So you want to let them in.
Copy !req
446. - Ru's just said that
I'm reserved again.
Copy !req
447. But back home,
I'm the life of the party.
Copy !req
448. So I have to show the judges
that I'm having fun
Copy !req
449. and show them that
I can be very stupid too.
Copy !req
450. - Geneva, last week
you were in the bottom two.
Copy !req
451. There will be a teleprompter,
you know, to read the stuff.
Copy !req
452. Are you nervous about that?
Copy !req
453. - I used to be a cashier,
so I know
Copy !req
454. a lot of, like,
memorizing things is
Copy !req
455. something I used to do, like,
Copy !req
456. with the fruits
and vegetables and stuff.
Copy !req
457. - Oh.
Copy !req
458. - It'll be interesting to
speak to you after you do this.
Copy !req
459. - They're not buying it.
Copy !req
460. - I'm not, no.
Copy !req
461. We've sat on this end
of the table
Copy !req
462. and heard this
exact same spiel.
Copy !req
463. Oh, no, we're gonna be fine.
Copy !req
464. Oh, she crazy.
We're gonna be cute.
Copy !req
465. Oh, girl, you know.
Copy !req
466. - I used to work with
fruit and vegetables.
Copy !req
467. I'll be fine.
Copy !req
468. - All right, well, go back,
rehearse your lines,
Copy !req
469. and make us laugh.
Copy !req
470. - Gracias.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
471. - All right, Nymphia,
Mirage, Sapphira, and Plasma.
Copy !req
472. - Hi, hi, hi.
Copy !req
473. - You are the Barbra Shop
Quartet, which means
Copy !req
474. that Mirage is the host.
Copy !req
475. - Yes.
- Yes.
Copy !req
476. - OK. Are you Barbra fans?
Copy !req
477. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
478. - You are?
- I am a huge Barbra fan.
Copy !req
479. "Don't Rain On My Parade" was
like my first, like,
Copy !req
480. singing in the shower song.
Copy !req
481. - And did you all
choose these roles?
Copy !req
482. - What's—what's this about?
Copy !req
483. - I was really, really hoping
for a role in a different skit
Copy !req
484. being one of the news people.
Copy !req
485. The mid-century safety zone
that I have
Copy !req
486. is not something I'd like to be
doing the whole time I'm here.
Copy !req
487. - Don't overthink it.
Copy !req
488. If you do a great Barbra
and it's a chance to do Barbra,
Copy !req
489. do Barbra.
Copy !req
490. - I can't help but wonder
if Dawn feels like
Copy !req
491. she has royally screwed
herself by giving me
Copy !req
492. something I am perfect for.
Copy !req
493. - And Mirage, you're the host.
Copy !req
494. Now, how did you get that role?
Copy !req
495. Did you have to fight for it?
Copy !req
496. - It wasn't really a fight,
necessarily, but, um...
Copy !req
497. - So what happened was...
- What happened?
Copy !req
498. Yeah, thank you.
- Give me the tea.
Copy !req
499. - I wanted to be the host
and I thought to myself,
Copy !req
500. no, I want to be in a group.
Copy !req
501. I want to work with somebody.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
502. - And so I decided,
I'm gonna be Lowenstein
Copy !req
503. and you're gonna host.
Copy !req
504. - Huh.
- OK. All right.
Copy !req
505. - Sapphira saying that
she gave me this role
Copy !req
506. is putting in Ru's head
that it's not something
Copy !req
507. that I felt confident about
and that I picked
Copy !req
508. and that I stand by.
Copy !req
509. - I sense some
hocus pocus here.
Copy !req
510. - Right?
- Yes.
Copy !req
511. I certainly do.
Copy !req
512. - Is there any truth to that?
Copy !req
513. - No, no.
Copy !req
514. - Oh, girl, come on, please.
- Really? Really?
Copy !req
515. - No, you know, if she wants
to do it, she can do it.
Copy !req
516. I realized that being the host,
I could shine a lot
Copy !req
517. or it could be a disaster.
Copy !req
518. I don't think it'll ever be
a disaster when I'm involved.
Copy !req
519. However, I want to see
what magic can be made
Copy !req
520. with another person.
Copy !req
521. - OK. All right.
Copy !req
522. - Mirage is having
second thoughts?
Copy !req
523. That's not my problem.
Copy !req
524. - All right, thank you ladies.
Copy !req
525. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
526. - Ladies, listen up.
Copy !req
527. Listen up, queens.
Copy !req
528. Now, we can't wait to watch
"RDR Live" tomorrow.
Copy !req
529. And on the runway,
category is...
Copy !req
530. Night of 1,000 Chers.
Copy !req
531. Whoa!
Copy !req
532. - "Wagon Wheel Watusi."
Copy !req
533. - So snap out of it!
Copy !req
534. - And don't fuck it up, man!
Copy !req
535. - Yes, bitch.
Copy !req
536. - Hello, gorgeous.
Copy !req
537. - Hello, gorgeous.
Copy !req
538. - Yellow, gorgeous.
Copy !req
539. - It's another elimination day.
Copy !req
540. Another bitch got to go home.
Copy !req
541. But it's not gonna be me.
Copy !req
542. - I'm ready
for my Oscar moment.
Copy !req
543. I am starting to feel the
brickness flowing through me.
Copy !req
544. I'm thinking like a brick.
Copy !req
545. I'm painting like a brick.
Copy !req
546. Or you could say I was, like,
painting like Amanda.
Copy !req
547. It's essentially
the same thing.
Copy !req
548. - How are you feeling about
your little hosting gig
Copy !req
549. tonight?
- I'm excited.
Copy !req
550. - Yeah?
Do you host a lot back home?
Copy !req
551. - Yeah.
Copy !req
552. Bar gigs and that
kind of thing,
Copy !req
553. just like a little show,
quick little intro, outro.
Copy !req
554. - What have you hosted
outside of bar stuff?
Copy !req
555. - We had our very first
Indigenous Pride in Vegas.
Copy !req
556. - Oh.
- Work.
Copy !req
557. - Are you Indigenous?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
558. - Oh, cool.
Copy !req
559. - I'm Mexican American
and Apache.
Copy !req
560. And hosting
Indigenous Pride in Las Vegas
Copy !req
561. was a big deal for me
because drag is something
Copy !req
562. that's very, very
important to me,
Copy !req
563. and so is where I come from.
Copy !req
564. That's the first time I've
ever mixed drag and my culture.
Copy !req
565. - Yeah.
- Those worlds
Copy !req
566. had never even connected
in my brain.
Copy !req
567. It was special for me to bring
these two pieces of myself
Copy !req
568. together in a way that was
celebrated and respected.
Copy !req
569. And it means a lot.
Copy !req
570. - Geneva, when did you come
here to America?
Copy !req
571. - So my parents brought me
over to the United States
Copy !req
572. when I was around
seven years old.
Copy !req
573. So that's when they decided to
come over here to give myself
Copy !req
574. and my brother that was
just born at the time
Copy !req
575. better opportunities
and better life, and you know,
Copy !req
576. the American dream.
Copy !req
577. But you know, I got legal
status to be here.
Copy !req
578. - Are you a DREAMer?
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
579. - Me too!
- Really?
Copy !req
580. - Yes.
- Yes.
Copy !req
581. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
582. Yeah, I really didn't know,
like, what I was gonna do
Copy !req
583. if that hadn't gone through.
Copy !req
584. It was during
the Obama administration.
Copy !req
585. We literally would not
be able to be here
Copy !req
586. if it wasn't for that.
- Exactly.
Copy !req
587. Yeah, honestly.
Copy !req
588. - So thank you, Obama.
Copy !req
589. DACA stands for Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals.
Copy !req
590. And it is a law that came
to effect to grant kids
Copy !req
591. with no papers a work permit
and, you know,
Copy !req
592. a Social Security number
so that
Copy !req
593. they can be another member
of this society.
Copy !req
594. DACA is why I'm able
to, like, legally work
Copy !req
595. and also be on "Drag Race."
Copy !req
596. We're not citizens, you know.
Copy !req
597. We're kind of like in limbo.
Copy !req
598. We're legally here
because we were already here,
Copy !req
599. but we don't have
the full rights of a citizen.
Copy !req
600. - So when it comes to DACA,
we're kind of always, like,
Copy !req
601. not 100% I guess feel safe,
because at any time
Copy !req
602. they can just be like,
you know what?
Copy !req
603. We're gonna take this
away from you.
Copy !req
604. And it's very scary
to think that
Copy !req
605. that could be a possibility.
Copy !req
606. - When I got the call
for this, I literally,
Copy !req
607. I was like bawling,
because I was like—
Copy !req
608. I was like, I'm finally,
like, having a shot
Copy !req
609. to, like, live my dreams,
you know?
Copy !req
610. Like, I don't know.
Copy !req
611. Sorry.
Copy !req
612. - This is, like,
something big for us because
Copy !req
613. I believe we're the first
DACA queens on the show.
Copy !req
614. And you know, like,
we kind of have this moment
Copy !req
615. where we kind of get a little
teared up
Copy !req
616. because everything
we've been through
Copy !req
617. and everything
we have to go through.
Copy !req
618. I don't know why
it gets me so emotional.
Copy !req
619. I guess because we grew up
not really showing
Copy !req
620. that much of affection,
because we had to be
Copy !req
621. strong, you know, living in the
United States, you know, so.
Copy !req
622. - Do any of you girls
have an OnlyFans?
Copy !req
623. - Well, I don't.
Copy !req
624. But...
- It seems like you might.
Copy !req
625. - So this is kind of random,
but my day job
Copy !req
626. is ghostwriting on OnlyFans.
Copy !req
627. - What?
- No.
Copy !req
628. - Yeah, girl.
Copy !req
629. I work for this agency that
manages OnlyFans creators.
Copy !req
630. So I respond to their
messages for them
Copy !req
631. as them while they're on
vacation in fucking Bora Bora.
Copy !req
632. It's like all these,
like, straight girls.
Copy !req
633. And I just sit
in their account.
Copy !req
634. - Oh, you do it for—it's
not gay, you do it for—
Copy !req
635. - No.
- Oh.
Copy !req
636. - No.
- Women.
Copy !req
637. - Yes, girl.
Copy !req
638. I get into the fantasy.
Copy !req
639. - Oh, and she's responding
to all these straight guys?
Copy !req
640. - A lot of these
old straight men
Copy !req
641. that think they're
talking to a blonde
Copy !req
642. 20 something with big tits?
Copy !req
643. Well, they're correct.
Copy !req
644. - All the straight people
out here are shook right now.
Copy !req
645. They're seeing this girl
on the other side.
Copy !req
646. Here's Amanda just...
Copy !req
647. If only they knew
what was on the other side
Copy !req
648. of that messaging line.
Copy !req
649. - Wow. Hello.
Copy !req
650. Welcome to the main stage
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
651. Michelle Visage,
when was the last time
Copy !req
652. someone tickled
your funny bone?
Copy !req
653. - Oh, honey, you know
I had my funny bone removed
Copy !req
654. in the late '80s.
Copy !req
655. The hilarious Ross Mathews.
Copy !req
656. Now, do you still have
your funny bone?
Copy !req
657. - Oh, I sure do
and it's in right now.
Copy !req
658. - And a big Drag Race welcome
to Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Copy !req
659. Welcome.
Copy !req
660. Are you excited to be here?
Copy !req
661. - I am so excited.
Copy !req
662. Ru, I've been
slaying bitches forever.
Copy !req
663. I was born ready.
Copy !req
664. - This week,
we challenged our queens
Copy !req
665. to create breakout comedy
characters on "RDR Live."
Copy !req
666. Racers, start your engines,
Copy !req
667. and may the best
drag queen win.
Copy !req
668. - Welcome to the QNN
End of the World Countdown.
Copy !req
669. - I'm Brandy Cohen.
Copy !req
670. - And I'm Branderson Cooper.
Copy !req
671. And we are just one disaster
away from total annihilation.
Copy !req
672. - I'll drink to that.
Copy !req
673. - Boy, have we
fucked things up.
Copy !req
674. - I'm a little drunk.
Copy !req
675. Remind me how we got here.
Copy !req
676. - Here are the top 10 reasons
why the world is about to end.
Copy !req
677. And number 10, banning books.
Copy !req
678. - That one is crazy.
Copy !req
679. I was reading Jackie Collins
at age 11, and look at me now.
Copy !req
680. - Number nine, climate change.
Copy !req
681. And speaking
of climate change,
Copy !req
682. we go now via satellite
to Donna Lemon, our reporter
Copy !req
683. on the ground in Death Valley.
Copy !req
684. Wait, Donna, are you
literally on the ground?
Copy !req
685. - It's literally the end
of the world in Death Valley.
Copy !req
686. But I am living.
Copy !req
687. It's storming non-stop.
Copy !req
688. Turns out aerosol hairspray
really was a bad idea.
Copy !req
689. - Donna, are you OK?
Copy !req
690. - Ooh, hey, baby.
Copy !req
691. Can I get a lift?
Copy !req
692. My ride's here.
Copy !req
693. Bye.
Copy !req
694. Trade.
Copy !req
695. - She'll be fine.
Copy !req
696. Everything on her floats.
Copy !req
697. - At numbers five, four,
and three, the GOP,
Copy !req
698. as in Girl, Oh, Please.
Copy !req
699. - Wait, I'm hearing
we have a GOP leader
Copy !req
700. joining us live
from South Carolina?
Copy !req
701. Senator Lindsey Graham?
Copy !req
702. - Hey, queens, call me Lady G.
Copy !req
703. - OK, Lady G,
you have contributed a lot
Copy !req
704. to the end of civilization.
Copy !req
705. - Decimating human rights,
attacking women
Copy !req
706. and queer people.
Copy !req
707. - Excuse me.
Copy !req
708. Can we talk about my glow up?
Copy !req
709. Watch out, season 17.
Copy !req
710. - There's not gonna be
another season of anything
Copy !req
711. if the world ends.
Copy !req
712. - Y'all can come join me in my
bunker when shit gets real.
Copy !req
713. It'll be like an "Untucked"
that never ends.
Copy !req
714. - OK, we're done.
Copy !req
715. Bye, girl.
Copy !req
716. - Toodles.
Copy !req
717. - And now here to deliver
the number one reason
Copy !req
718. for the end of the world,
it's the Grim Reaper.
Copy !req
719. - And I've got
one thing to say.
Copy !req
720. Live from Tuckahoe,
it's "RDR Live."
Copy !req
721. - It's "RDR Live"
with Dawn and Geneva Karr.
Copy !req
722. Megami
and Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige.
Copy !req
723. Morphine Love Dion
and Nymphia Wind.
Copy !req
724. Plane Jane.
Copy !req
725. Plasma, Q, and Xunami Muse.
Copy !req
726. Amanda Tori Meating
and Sapphira Cristal.
Copy !req
727. - With musical guest RuPaul!
Copy !req
728. - And your host, Mirage.
Copy !req
729. - Oh, thank you,
thank you so much.
Copy !req
730. I am so thrilled to be hosting
here at "RDR Live."
Copy !req
731. My name is Mirage,
and I cannot believe
Copy !req
732. I am standing
on this iconic stage.
Copy !req
733. And I'm learning a lot about
television production too.
Copy !req
734. For example,
jibs, these cameras that
Copy !req
735. operate on a big crane—
not a nickname
Copy !req
736. for Sapphira's
tiny breastplate.
Copy !req
737. A boom is a big
overhead microphone,
Copy !req
738. not the sound that Nymphia
makes when she untucks.
Copy !req
739. Very confusing.
Copy !req
740. And crafty is what we call
the snack table, which is funny
Copy !req
741. because I thought crafty
was what you called
Copy !req
742. Amanda Tori Meating's
drag aesthetic.
Copy !req
743. Yeah.
Copy !req
744. But seriously,
I am so grateful to RuPaul
Copy !req
745. for making me
one of his RuGirls
Copy !req
746. for the rest of my—
oh, applause.
Copy !req
747. For the rest of my life.
Copy !req
748. I get to tour the world,
spread love,
Copy !req
749. and get into Twitter feuds
with soccer moms
Copy !req
750. telling me
I'm not pussy enough.
Copy !req
751. But we've got
a terrific show for you.
Copy !req
752. RuPaul is our me—
our musical guest,
Copy !req
753. so stick around.
Copy !req
754. - Hello there.
Copy !req
755. I'm Connie Thick.
Copy !req
756. - And I'm Candy Long.
Copy !req
757. Summertime is right
around the corner.
Copy !req
758. And that means everyone is
looking forward to one thing.
Copy !req
759. - Sitting on a nice,
big, beautiful deck.
Copy !req
760. - That's right.
Copy !req
761. And for all your deck-related
needs, call us at...
Copy !req
762. - Thick...
- And Long...
Copy !req
763. Deck Service.
Copy !req
764. - We know decks come in
all shapes and sizes,
Copy !req
765. from long and narrow
to long and wide
Copy !req
766. to the really long ones
Copy !req
767. that kind of wrap around
to the side.
Copy !req
768. - All that can be tough
to handle for some
Copy !req
769. deck service companies,
but not us.
Copy !req
770. - Every one of our
service providers
Copy !req
771. has years of experience and can
handle even the hardest decks.
Copy !req
772. - But don't take
our word for it.
Copy !req
773. Here's what one of our
regular customers has to say.
Copy !req
774. - Hey, there.
Copy !req
775. I'm Richard.
Copy !req
776. Now, I was satisfied with
what I had going on up front.
Copy !req
777. So Connie and Candy suggested
I try a deck in the rear.
Copy !req
778. Now, I never thought
I'd be that kind of guy,
Copy !req
779. but now I know that
when it comes to decks,
Copy !req
780. Thick and Long is
definitely the way to go.
Copy !req
781. - So give us a call,
because at...
Copy !req
782. - Thick...
- And Long...
Copy !req
783. Deck Service...
Copy !req
784. - Our customers
always come first.

for RuPaul.

a sore in her life.
Copy !req
806. - 2024 marks the 55th
anniversary of the Stonewall

in the queer civil rights
Copy !req
808. movement that began

Copy !req
809. was thrown through a window
at the Stonewall Inn.
Copy !req
810. Here to comment is
gay icon, the brick.
Copy !req
811. - Ohh.
Copy !req
812. Hello, hello, hello.
Copy !req
813. - So tell me, what was it like
Copy !req
814. being at the Stonewall Inn
that night?
Copy !req
815. - Well, I had just gotten laid
by this guy, Mason.
Copy !req
816. Anyway, next thing I know, I'm
being flung through the air.
Copy !req
817. I crash through
a plate glass window and land
Copy !req
818. on the floor of
the Stonewall Inn.
Copy !req
819. - Did you see who threw you?
Copy !req
820. - Does it matter, bitch?
Copy !req
821. - So do you feel
like you've been
Copy !req
822. overlooked in queer history?
Copy !req
823. - Oh, God, yes.
Copy !req
824. All folks want to talk
about is who threw me.
Copy !req
825. But what about me?
Copy !req
826. I gave you gay liberation
with my body.
Copy !req
827. You like your "Drag Race"
and gay marriage
Copy !req
828. and Kylie Minogue.
Copy !req
829. That was me.
Copy !req
830. Can I get an amen?
Copy !req
831. Amen.
Copy !req
832. - The brick from Stonewall,
everybody.
Copy !req
833. - Ohh!
Copy !req
834. - And that's the news.
Copy !req
835. Thank ya.

themselves RuBarb.
Copy !req
852. Hey, Doc, what's up with that?

laugh at somebody else?
Copy !req
857. Can I get an amen?

Copy !req
864. - I'm giving you this nude
illusion with my wings,
Copy !req
865. my beaded fringe wig.
Copy !req
866. I feel fantastic.
Copy !req
867. - Yes, Mr. Mackie,
tell me all about it.
Copy !req
868. Morphine.
Copy !req
869. Academy Award Cher, 1988.
Copy !req
870. - Tell me, where do you keep
your Oscar?
Copy !req
871. - This Cher look shows
a lot of skin.
Copy !req
872. And mama, I am literally
wearing no underwear.
Copy !req
873. Baby, if my straps snap,
Copy !req
874. you're going to get
a really good surprise.
Copy !req
875. - Wow, this dress is so tight.
Copy !req
876. I wonder if she could
"snap out of it."
Copy !req
877. - If she does, maybe her
Olympia Dukakis will fall out.
Copy !req
878. - Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige.
Copy !req
879. Cher promoting
"Burlesque," 2010.
Copy !req
880. - She's giving me a silk woody.
Copy !req
881. - Ooh.
Copy !req
882. - I'm giving you
catsuit full of stones
Copy !req
883. and I am serving body.
Copy !req
884. I'm embodying my inner Cher.
Copy !req
885. - How do you like
them bagels, boy?
Copy !req
886. - Geneva Karr.
Copy !req
887. Cher as ringmaster for
Ringling Brothers, 1974.
Copy !req
888. - She looks like she's fucking
all the Ringling Brothers.
Copy !req
889. - I'm feeling my Cher
but if she was Latina.
Copy !req
890. You know, extra curvy.
Copy !req
891. The color red, it looks
amazing with my skin.
Copy !req
892. And I'm blushed just
like Cher in the '70s.
Copy !req
893. - Every night
all the men come around
Copy !req
894. and lay their money down.
Copy !req
895. Mirage.
Copy !req
896. Cher in concert, 1979.
Copy !req
897. - Ooh, Mackie's back in town.
Copy !req
898. - I'm giving Cher
mixed with Naomi Campbell
Copy !req
899. mixed with streetwalker
Copy !req
900. with a dash of showgirl.
Copy !req
901. And the ponytail,
it's giving 40 inches,
Copy !req
902. I think.
Copy !req
903. - Forget the other two.
She's just the tramp.
Copy !req
904. - Yes.
Copy !req
905. Megami.
Copy !req
906. Cher, Turn Back Time, 2009.
Copy !req
907. - Oh.
Copy !req
908. So I'm serving you
my favorite Cher look.
Copy !req
909. One of her iconic leather
jackets with this nice
Copy !req
910. see-through bodysuit.
Copy !req
911. I only wish I had a giant
cannon and some sea men
Copy !req
912. all around me.
Copy !req
913. - If I could turn back time,
Copy !req
914. I'd just go
to Michelle's doctor.
Copy !req
915. - Plane Jane as Cher,
1974 Met Gala.
Copy !req
916. - There is nothing plain
about her.
Copy !req
917. - It's the sheer mesh gown
Copy !req
918. overlaid with crystals
Copy !req
919. and stones and appliques.
Copy !req
920. And it's just such
a stunning Bob Mackie piece.
Copy !req
921. And who else to do that
piece justice but me?
Copy !req
922. - No burger finger there.
Copy !req
923. Amanda Tori Meating,
Cher doll, 2001.
Copy !req
924. - When she's done,
she can just go
Copy !req
925. take a shower with the loofah.
Copy !req
926. - Yeah.
Copy !req
927. - Bitch, look how correct
Copy !req
928. Amanda Tori Meating looks
tonight.
Copy !req
929. We have this lovely
lavender X shape
Copy !req
930. that is so iconically Cher
with this beautiful
Copy !req
931. flowing gown element
on the bottom.
Copy !req
932. Lap it up, kittens.
Copy !req
933. - Life in plastic,
it's fantastic.
Copy !req
934. - Dawn as mod Cher, 1966.
Copy !req
935. - How many Muppets had to die
for that jacket?
Copy !req
936. - I'm giving you some
classic '60s Cher
Copy !req
937. with some classic 2020s Dawn.
Copy !req
938. I took this
black and white picture
Copy !req
939. and we don't know
what color the fur coat is,
Copy !req
940. so I went with a little
orange and blue color story
Copy !req
941. because I think
it's really fun and '60s.
Copy !req
942. And then boom,
slut waist, mama.
Copy !req
943. Always. OK?
Copy !req
944. - This is
the sunny side of Cher.
Copy !req
945. - Yes it is.
- Oh, wow.
Copy !req
946. She's giving me
a "Sunny Boner."
Copy !req
947. Q from the Sonny and Cher
Comedy Hour, 1973.
Copy !req
948. - Black and white
and Cher all over.
Copy !req
949. - Cher is go big or go home,
Copy !req
950. and you know
I like to make a statement
Copy !req
951. when I walk in the room.
Copy !req
952. I am feeling very poised
and elegant
Copy !req
953. because I know
the body is right,
Copy !req
954. and I know the face is right.
Copy !req
955. I'm Cher, bitch.
Copy !req
956. - I wonder if she's
wearing a ze-bra.
Copy !req
957. - Plasma, Met Gala 1985.
Copy !req
958. - She is doing more
than her fair share.
Copy !req
959. - I'm giving you
dark lady eleganza.
Copy !req
960. It's a Bob Mackie dress,
but it's not over the top.
Copy !req
961. It's just pure glamour.
Copy !req
962. I just feel like a glass
of champagne came to life.
Copy !req
963. - It's not easy being a diva.
Copy !req
964. - Tell me about it.
Copy !req
965. - Nymphia Wind.
Copy !req
966. Cher Egyptian goddess, 1979.
Copy !req
967. Ankh if you love Cher.
Copy !req
968. - Ankh, ankh.
Copy !req
969. - I'm very naked,
but I'm giving you
Copy !req
970. mysterious Egyptian lady
with fierce cutting eyes,
Copy !req
971. spreading her wings
and letting the world see
Copy !req
972. her glorious Egyptian body.
Copy !req
973. - I can see her Nefer-titties.
Copy !req
974. Sapphira as Cher in
the Vegas residency, 2017.
Copy !req
975. - Wow.
Copy !req
976. - Mm-hmm.
That's a Vegas buffet.
Copy !req
977. - Cher is the queen of excess,
Copy !req
978. and I'm the drag queen
of excess.
Copy !req
979. So this is a match
made in heaven.
Copy !req
980. I'm wearing this blue
shoulder piece that
Copy !req
981. has 100 pheasant feathers.
Copy !req
982. It is gorgeous.
Copy !req
983. This is a woman's world,
and I am a woman.
Copy !req
984. - You know what color this is?
Copy !req
985. - What color?
Copy !req
986. - Elijah Blue.
Copy !req
987. - Yes.
Copy !req
988. Welcome, queens.
Copy !req
989. I've made some decisions.
Copy !req
990. But first I need to ask.
Copy !req
991. Sapphira, do you wish to use
your immunity potion this week?
Copy !req
992. - I think I'm gonna say no.
Copy !req
993. - Very well.
Copy !req
994. Plane Jane, do you wish
to use your immunity potion?
Copy !req
995. - Not this week, Ru.
Copy !req
996. - Very well.
Copy !req
997. Queens, when I call your name,
please step forward.
Copy !req
998. Xunami Muse.
Copy !req
999. Morphine.
Copy !req
1000. Megami.
Copy !req
1001. Amanda.
Copy !req
1002. Dawn.
Copy !req
1003. Nymphia.
Copy !req
1004. Sapphira.
Copy !req
1005. Ladies, you are all safe.
Copy !req
1006. You may leave the stage.
Copy !req
1007. Ladies, you represent the tops
and the bottoms of the week.
Copy !req
1008. Now it's time
for the judges' critiques.
Copy !req
1009. Up first, Mhi'ya.
Copy !req
1010. - I was a little bit
worried about you.
Copy !req
1011. When I saw you swing for
the fences, I was so thrilled.
Copy !req
1012. - I just wanted to let loose
and show you guys
Copy !req
1013. that I can let loose
and have fun.
Copy !req
1014. - You were committed.
Copy !req
1015. And to me, that's
the most important part,
Copy !req
1016. especially on any kind
of sketch comedy show,
Copy !req
1017. because things go wrong.
Copy !req
1018. - My real issue had to do
with just levels.
Copy !req
1019. I wanted more nuance.
Copy !req
1020. I wanted more of a story arc.
Copy !req
1021. - Your Cher look is
not really the look
Copy !req
1022. that you were trying
to achieve.
Copy !req
1023. Cher no matter what, even when
she does her natural hair,
Copy !req
1024. she will make sure
it is drag hair.
Copy !req
1025. And this,
it needs to be dragged.
Copy !req
1026. - Can you do
a Cher impersonation?
Copy !req
1027. Let me see it.
Copy !req
1028. - I'm great.
Copy !req
1029. - Cher meets Kermit.
Copy !req
1030. - Do it again.
Do it again.
Copy !req
1031. Do it again.
Copy !req
1032. - Yeah, do it this time,
but flick your hair back.
Copy !req
1033. - I'm great.
Copy !req
1034. - Oh, my God, that meme
will live forever.
Copy !req
1035. It's gonna haunt you
for the rest of your life!
Copy !req
1036. Amazing.
Copy !req
1037. Up next, Geneva Karr.
Copy !req
1038. - So my question is,
Copy !req
1039. do you know
who Lindsey Graham is?
Copy !req
1040. - No.
- OK.
Copy !req
1041. That was obvious and that
was part of the problem.
Copy !req
1042. - Excuse me.
Copy !req
1043. - There was
a missed opportunity.
Copy !req
1044. Because if you had really
hit the nail on the head,
Copy !req
1045. it would have been great.
Copy !req
1046. - I love the outfit.
Copy !req
1047. I said it's like Cher
meets Britney Spears.
Copy !req
1048. It has a little, like,
"Circus."
Copy !req
1049. - But you know, I would just be
careful with proportions,
Copy !req
1050. because you have a long
torso, and you don't
Copy !req
1051. want to really cut in half.
Copy !req
1052. Up next, Mirage.
Copy !req
1053. - You were the host.
Copy !req
1054. There were moments
when I saw that you were
Copy !req
1055. comfortable with it and there
were just a couple times
Copy !req
1056. when the jokes got
away from you.
Copy !req
1057. - You were telegraphing
that the joke was coming.
Copy !req
1058. And the key is to let it
come out naturally
Copy !req
1059. so that we don't know,
oh, here's where the joke is.
Copy !req
1060. - Now, Sarah, you've hosted
"SNL" how many times?
Copy !req
1061. - I've hosted
three solo and I've
Copy !req
1062. guest starred a few times.
Copy !req
1063. Not enough to get
the five time jacket though.
Copy !req
1064. - This look is really fun.
Copy !req
1065. You look beautiful in it.
Copy !req
1066. - I love this look.
Copy !req
1067. I don't love the hair
with it, because the hair
Copy !req
1068. says '60s Cher
and the dress is late '70s.
Copy !req
1069. It's interesting to see
you young kids sort of,
Copy !req
1070. you know,
mix things up a little bit.
Copy !req
1071. I'm like wait, no,
no, not that hair with it.
Copy !req
1072. Up next, not so Plane Jane.
Copy !req
1073. - You were so funny
in the challenge.
Copy !req
1074. - I'm Candy Long.
Copy !req
1075. - From the first line you
uttered, the way you said it,
Copy !req
1076. I knew who you were.
Copy !req
1077. - You didn't overplay it.
Copy !req
1078. You underplayed it, which is
really the key to comedy,
Copy !req
1079. because that makes it funnier.
Copy !req
1080. - Thank you.
Copy !req
1081. - This outfit is
bat-Cher crazy beautiful.
Copy !req
1082. - You delivered one
of the strongest Mackie looks
Copy !req
1083. I think Cher's ever worn.
Copy !req
1084. It's one of my favorites.
Copy !req
1085. And I thought tonight was
a slam dunk for you.
Copy !req
1086. - Up next, Q.
Copy !req
1087. - In the challenge,
you had to play a brick.
Copy !req
1088. That's hard to do.
Copy !req
1089. You managed to take this object
and give it a personality.
Copy !req
1090. You know, there was
one line I wrote down.
Copy !req
1091. It says...
Copy !req
1092. - Does it matter?
Copy !req
1093. - I wrote down the same line.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1094. - Stop stealing all my lines,
Ross Mathews.
Copy !req
1095. - I copied it off
Sarah Michelle Gellar's paper.
Copy !req
1096. - "Does it—"
I mean, it was just—
Copy !req
1097. it was comedian level funny.
Copy !req
1098. And you can't really
teach that.
Copy !req
1099. - And listen, this is
another one of my all time
Copy !req
1100. favorite Cher looks.
Copy !req
1101. I'm so glad you did this look.
Copy !req
1102. - You know, this runway is
as much a homage to Cher
Copy !req
1103. as it is to Bob Mackie.
Copy !req
1104. And this is one of his
most beautiful outfits.
Copy !req
1105. And you wear it so well.
Copy !req
1106. - Thank you so much.
Copy !req
1107. - Up next,
Plasma-rich platelets.
Copy !req
1108. - I loved watching you
embody Babs.
Copy !req
1109. And I knew that you had it.
Copy !req
1110. - I had to keep reminding
myself to watch the other two,
Copy !req
1111. because my eyes just
kept going to you
Copy !req
1112. and I wanted to see more.
Copy !req
1113. - I remember yesterday
in the Werk Room,
Copy !req
1114. you said this was
a part you didn't really
Copy !req
1115. want to take
because you were worried
Copy !req
1116. about being sort of typecast.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
1117. - I cannot imagine
your sketch without you,
Copy !req
1118. because you doing Barbra
in that scene
Copy !req
1119. was just perfection.
Copy !req
1120. - And I love that
you chose this dress.
Copy !req
1121. What's your favorite part
of this outfit?
Copy !req
1122. - Immediately I liked the idea
of a sinister side of Cher.
Copy !req
1123. - Ah.
Copy !req
1124. Part of Cher's brand is morbid
Copy !req
1125. and dark and morose.
Copy !req
1126. In fact, that's why rebel kids
loved her in the first place.
Copy !req
1127. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
1128. - Thank you.
Copy !req
1129. - Thank you, queens.
Copy !req
1130. I think we've heard enough.
Copy !req
1131. While you relax
in the "Untucked" lounge,
Copy !req
1132. the judges and I
will deliberate.
Copy !req
1133. All right, just between
us squirrel friends,
Copy !req
1134. what do you think?
Copy !req
1135. Let's start with Mhi'ya.
Copy !req
1136. - In the acting challenge, she
at least swung for the fences.
Copy !req
1137. - I'm living!
Copy !req
1138. - She just swung a little hard.
Copy !req
1139. It was one note,
at this level nonstop.
Copy !req
1140. - In the runway,
it fell a little flat.
Copy !req
1141. And for me, the biggest
issue is confidence.
Copy !req
1142. I think to be a great queen,
Copy !req
1143. you have to fake it
till you make it.
Copy !req
1144. - But I will say,
you know who should win?
Copy !req
1145. - Who?
- Her impression.
Copy !req
1146. That's the best thing
I've seen all week.
Copy !req
1147. That's the best thing.
Copy !req
1148. - Geneva Karr.
Copy !req
1149. - It could have been
the funniest thing
Copy !req
1150. if she could have nailed
Copy !req
1151. a Lindsey Graham impersonation
in drag.
Copy !req
1152. - As an actor, you have to be
able to ask questions.
Copy !req
1153. And if you get the role
and you don't know
Copy !req
1154. who Lindsey Graham is,
just ask somebody.
Copy !req
1155. - I do
do a Lindsey Graham impression.
Copy !req
1156. - Oh, can I hear it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1157. Hey, I'm Lindsey Graham.
Copy !req
1158. - Now, the Cher look
was beautiful.
Copy !req
1159. - But like Cher,
if she had cut just
Copy !req
1160. on the inside of the
outfit a little bit too,
Copy !req
1161. it would have been more
flattering like Cher does.
Copy !req
1162. It's more of like it comes
up high and then cuts in.
Copy !req
1163. - Yes, yes.
Copy !req
1164. All right,
let's talk about Mirage.
Copy !req
1165. - In terms of the challenge,
I think she sped through it.
Copy !req
1166. She moved a little too much.
Copy !req
1167. I think you need
to sort of claim the stage.
Copy !req
1168. - I know none of you
all agree with me,
Copy !req
1169. but I liked that '60s hair
even though
Copy !req
1170. that's a late '70s look.
Copy !req
1171. - But because we've watched
Cher's life in every phase,
Copy !req
1172. to mix and match like that,
it's so distracting to me.
Copy !req
1173. Plane Jane.
Copy !req
1174. - Just in three weeks, she has
shown us that she can perform
Copy !req
1175. at a really high level.
Copy !req
1176. Her Cher is stunning.
Copy !req
1177. Would you change a thing?
Anyone?
Copy !req
1178. - No. No.
- OK. Good.
Copy !req
1179. What about her
in the challenge?
Copy !req
1180. Would you change a thing?
- No.
Copy !req
1181. - No.
Copy !req
1182. - But that's an
actor's job, right?
Copy !req
1183. It's to take someone's words
and make them your own.
Copy !req
1184. And she did it so effortlessly.
Copy !req
1185. It was as if you would
think she wrote that script.
Copy !req
1186. - Uh-huh. All right. Q.
Copy !req
1187. - This is another one
that hasn't
Copy !req
1188. faltered from the beginning.
Copy !req
1189. - She took that scene
from the other queens.
Copy !req
1190. - Yeah.
- The news was good.
Copy !req
1191. It was cute.
Copy !req
1192. It was chugging along.
Copy !req
1193. And then she just came in
and I was like, who?
Copy !req
1194. What?
Copy !req
1195. I just need to focus
on the brick.
Copy !req
1196. - And then tonight on
the runway, oh, brava.
Copy !req
1197. - The way the stripes
widened out in, like,
Copy !req
1198. what we would call our problem
section, ladies, and then
Copy !req
1199. thinned out on the bottom.
Copy !req
1200. It was just every aspect
of it was real perfection.
Copy !req
1201. - Plasma.
Copy !req
1202. - Listen, you could tell
without even knowing her
Copy !req
1203. if you just turn
the TV on and saw her,
Copy !req
1204. you knew right away
she was a Barbra fan.
Copy !req
1205. You have to be able to embody
Barbra to do Barbra.
Copy !req
1206. And then tonight on the runway,
Copy !req
1207. it was very smart
with her choice,
Copy !req
1208. because it is more
of the darker Cher.
Copy !req
1209. - I also love
how homosexual she is.
Copy !req
1210. In that not only—
the big Nelly Queen—
Copy !req
1211. that, but also the references.
Copy !req
1212. You know, she's done
the gay homework.
Copy !req
1213. - I mean, I'm so jealous
she got to be two
Copy !req
1214. of the greatest queens
of all time tonight.
Copy !req
1215. - In one day.
- In one day.
Copy !req
1216. - Oh! It's a gay miracle.
Copy !req
1217. - Yeah.
Copy !req
1218. - It was incredible.
Copy !req
1219. I mean, these queens,
I'm so jealous.
Copy !req
1220. I'm a mere Prinze.
Copy !req
1221. - A mere Prinze.
Copy !req
1222. - Waiting my whole life
to use that line somewhere.
Copy !req
1223. - All right.
Copy !req
1224. Silence.
Copy !req
1225. I've made my decision.
Copy !req
1226. Bring back my girls.
Copy !req
1227. Welcome back, queens.
Copy !req
1228. I've made some decisions.
Copy !req
1229. Plasma, you are one funny girl.
Copy !req
1230. - Oh.
Copy !req
1231. - Condragulations,
you are the winner
Copy !req
1232. of this week's challenge.
Copy !req
1233. - Yeah!
Copy !req
1234. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1235. - You've won a cash prize
of $5,000.
Copy !req
1236. - It means so much.
Copy !req
1237. And it all aligned
in such a cool, perfect way.
Copy !req
1238. It's just, like,
the coolest motherfucking
Copy !req
1239. feeling in the entire world.
Copy !req
1240. - Plane Jane, Q, Plasma,
Copy !req
1241. you three may join
the other girls.
Copy !req
1242. - I can't wait to tell my mom.
Copy !req
1243. - Mhi'ya, your Cher
wasn't strong enough.
Copy !req
1244. Geneva Karr, your Lady G
didn't hit the spot.
Copy !req
1245. Mirage, your hostess
was not the mostest.
Copy !req
1246. Mhi'ya...
Copy !req
1247. you're safe.
Copy !req
1248. You may join the other girls.
Copy !req
1249. - Thank you.
Copy !req
1250. - Geneva Karr, Mirage,
Copy !req
1251. I'm sorry, my dears,
but you are up for elimination.
Copy !req
1252. - The first emotion is panic.
Copy !req
1253. I'm just trying to breathe
and pull myself together
Copy !req
1254. and say you can't just
go home like this.
Copy !req
1255. Like, this can't be it.
Copy !req
1256. So I'm gonna spin and twirl
and give it to them.
Copy !req
1257. - Two queens stand before me.
Copy !req
1258. Ladies, this is your
last chance to impress me
Copy !req
1259. and save yourself
from elimination.
Copy !req
1260. The time has come for you
Copy !req
1261. to lip-synch for your life.
Copy !req
1262. Good luck,
and don't fuck it up.
Copy !req
1263. - Come on, Geneva.
Copy !req
1264. Come on, Mirage.
Copy !req
1265. - Come on, Diva!
Copy !req
1266. - The only person
I can watch is Mirage,
Copy !req
1267. because she is giving
performance down.
Copy !req
1268. - And then I realize her mouth
doesn't match the words.
Copy !req
1269. - She don't know the song.
Copy !req
1270. - Mirage kind of
doesn't know the words.
Copy !req
1271. - No, she doesn't.
Copy !req
1272. - Ladies,
I've made my decision.
Copy !req
1273. Geneva Karr, shantay, you stay.
Copy !req
1274. - You may join the other girls.
Copy !req
1275. - Thank you, mami.
Copy !req
1276. - Mirage, my queen,
we see big things for you.
Copy !req
1277. Now sashay away.
Copy !req
1278. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1279. - Just breathe.
Copy !req
1280. Just breathe.
Copy !req
1281. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1282. - I know it feels
like the end,
Copy !req
1283. but it really is
just the beginning.
Copy !req
1284. - Yes.
- It is.
Copy !req
1285. - Yes!
- Trust me.
Copy !req
1286. - Come on, Mirage.
Copy !req
1287. - Thank you.
Copy !req
1288. - We love you so much.
Copy !req
1289. - It's so hard to see Mirage.
Copy !req
1290. It just feels like you really
just see her dreams
Copy !req
1291. just being crushed in a moment.
Copy !req
1292. - I wasn't prepared
for how devastating it feels,
Copy !req
1293. you know?
Copy !req
1294. I'm mad at myself.
Copy !req
1295. I'm not mad at Ru.
Copy !req
1296. I just feel like I didn't leave
a good impression on her,
Copy !req
1297. and that's embarrassing.
Copy !req
1298. And I, like, really put all
of my eggs in one basket.
Copy !req
1299. Like, I didn't make
anybody proud
Copy !req
1300. who was, like, supporting me.
Copy !req
1301. I am thankful
for the relationships
Copy !req
1302. that I made
with the girls here.
Copy !req
1303. I know we're gonna be cool
after this,
Copy !req
1304. but I'm gonna miss them
the most.
Copy !req
1305. This fucking sucks.
Copy !req
1306. - Well, condragulations,
queens.
Copy !req
1307. And remember,
if you can't love yourself,
Copy !req
1308. how in the hell are you gonna
love somebody else?
Copy !req
1309. Can I get an amen up in here?
Copy !req
1310. Amen.
Copy !req
1311. - All right,
now let the music play.
Copy !req
1312. - Next time on
"RuPaul's Drag Race"...
Copy !req
1313. I want to collaborate with you
Copy !req
1314. on three hot tracks from
my album "Black Butter."
Copy !req
1315. - You added spice
to Spice Girls.
Copy !req
1316. - You were fantastic.
Copy !req
1317. - Out of everybody
in the girl group,
Copy !req
1318. who didn't sparkle or shine.
Copy !req
1319. - Rest assured, I definitely
have more respect for you
Copy !req
1320. than I do for Amanda.
Copy !req
1321. - Why are you such a cunt?
Copy !req
1322. What's with this
"I have more respect for you
Copy !req
1323. than I do with Amanda"?
Copy !req
1324. Like, where is this
coming from?
Copy !req
1325. - Get her, girl.
Copy !req
1326. Get her ass.
Copy !req
