RuPaul's Drag Race 16x5

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

2. You'll be starring in "RDR Live."

3. - Hello.

4. - Not an onion roll!

5. - Can we talk about my glow up?

6. - Geneva Karr.

7. - Do you know who Lindsey Graham is?

8. - No.

9. - That was part of the problem.

10. - Mirage.

11. - You were the host.

12. The jokes got away from you.

13. - Plasma.

14. - My eyes just kept going to you.

15. - Condragulations.

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

17. Geneva Karr, Mirage, you are up for elimination.

18. - She don't know the song.

19. - Geneva Karr.

20. Shantay, you stay.

21. Mirage, sashay away.

22. - Mirage has just been eliminated.

23. And it honestly feels like a funeral procession.

24. - "Looks like the trash bag lost.

25. Love, Mirage."

26. - Mirage, we love you so much.

27. - We love you, Mirage. - We love you, Mirage.

28. - This elimination is hitting everybody really, really hard.

29. Every single bitch in this room

30. has tears running down her face.

31. - For me, like, it was just seeing

32. someone's dreams shattered on the stage

33. as, like, this is getting so real.

34. - Everything was just so raw and so intense.

35. It was just so heartbreaking.

36. - It's a lot, bitch.

37. I just didn't expect it to hurt this much.

38. - We don't want no one to go home,

39. but, you know, at the end, that's what we signed up for.

40. - Yeah.

41. - And that's the game we have to play.

42. Let's give all our love to Mirage.

43. - We love you, Mirage. Mirage!

44. - This is game on.

45. Like, you better really serve it.

46. Know the words and be prepared to fight for it.

47. - We love you, Mirage.

48. But girl, congratulations to Plasma.

49. - Congratulations. - Bitch.

50. - Thank you.

51. - I'm, like, completely in disbelief.

52. - Sitting next to Q on the couch,

53. I can feel the energy radiating off of her

54. like a proverbial hand reaching over,

55. like, trying to grab the win out from right in front of me.

56. - You seem a little, like, upset.

57. - I'm feeling very grateful because I have been in the top

58. the past three weeks.

59. But it's just, like, hurts, almost, like,

60. just to keep getting, like, really, really close

61. and then just, like, not getting there.

62. And I know it's, like, other people

63. haven't been in the top.

64. So it just makes me feel like I shouldn't

65. even be talking about it.

66. It's just, I feel like my whole life, I've had to, like,

67. fight to tell people that, like, I'm good and I'm great.

68. And I'm like, I can do these things.

69. And it just, like, feels like I'm so close.

70. - We just came off of a very emotional moment.

71. And as somebody who was also in the top but didn't win,

72. it's sort of hard for me to sympathize with you.

73. I'm not gonna complain about being in the top.

74. I'm not gonna, like, sit here

75. and cry and sulk all day.

76. I feel great.

77. - Plane's such a cunt.

78. But I live.

79. - That being said, onwards and upwards, sisters.

80. - I'm not too happy with Plane right now.

81. And I'm just, like, kind of questioning her motives.

82. Going forward, I don't feel like

83. I can, like, trust her now.

84. - I don't really get where she's coming from

85. when she's, like, upset about being in the top.

86. - No, I was like— - This couldn't be me.

87. - At this point, Plane Jane is rubbing

88. a few people the wrong way, not just myself.

89. - It felt insensitive and pointed.

90. - 'Cause it was. - Kind of like how she came—

91. - 'Cause it was. - Yeah, for real.

92. - 'Cause it was.

93. Last week, things got a bit spicy

94. between me and Plane Jane.

95. Listen, Plane Jane might have her little feelings about me,

96. and that's very cute for her,

97. but I'm very competitive.

98. So playtime's over, bitch.

99. - Do I just pull it— oh, my God.

100. You're gonna—you're gonna—

101. Fucker.

102. - The winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race" receives

103. a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics

104. and a gag-worthy grand prize of $200,000,

105. served by Cash App,

106. with extra special guest judge Icona Pop.

107. - Hey, y'all.

108. - Doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop.

109. - Today is a new day.

110. And after the emotional chaos of last week,

111. it's just like...

112. Factory reset.

113. Welcome to your brand new phone.

114. - Your face is always beat for the gods.

115. - Always. - What do you mean?

116. This is natural, honey.

117. - You're going to do Plasma's makeup.

118. - Yeah.

119. - And I'm gonna do Amanda's makeup.

120. - Work.

121. - Amanda looks— I will say, Amanda,

122. you look so pretty like this.

123. - Yes.

124. - I think you're such a natural beauty, Amanda.

125. - Thank you, Jane. - Absolutely.

126. - I really appreciate that.

127. - It's plain. It's plain, babe.

128. - Well, it is plain.

129. Whenever I'm in a conversation with Plane Jane,

130. the rage takes over.

131. - Hello, hello, hello.

132. - Ladykins, everybody has a story to tell.

133. And I went deep in my new memoir,

134. "The House of Hidden Meanings."

135. Now, for today's Mini Challenge,

136. I want you to begin work on your own book,

137. starting with the title, the cover photo,

138. and a bio of the author. That's you.

139. You're got 30 minutes to pull yourself together, girly.

140. - Ooh.

141. - Girl.

142. - Go.

143. - It is pandemonium in this bitch.

144. - I can't wait to see how different this face

145. looks from your regular face. - I will kill you.

146. - Up first, Plasma.

147. So we're here to take the cover for your book.

148. - Oh, thank you, Ru, darling.

149. - Here we go.

150. This deeply personal memoir

159. of a professional gold digger.

163. Mmm.

164. Plane Jane, do you have a nom de plume?

165. - My name is Lady Cox DuStinque.

166. - She reveals how to make spotted dick

167. and her classic, Pepsi-Cola.

168. Oh, Hepsi-Cola. - Hep—Hepsi.

171. now available in paperback and bareback.

215. Sapphira Cristál.

216. That's right.

217. Yours will be the first book burned in Florida.

218. - Another Mini Challenge?

219. I feel like my slewfeet are winning me

220. these Mini Challenges.

221. - And condragulations, you've won

222. an autographed first edition of my new book, entitled

223. "House of Hidden Meanings."

224. - Yay. - Priceless.

225. Plus $2,000 dollars.

226. - Yeah.

227. - My queens, I've had the privilege of collaborating

228. with artists like Miley Cyrus, Sir Elton John,

229. and Dame Martha Wash.

230. Now, for this week's Maxi Challenge,

231. I want to collaborate with you on three hot tracks

232. from my album "Black Butter."

233. - Now, working in three girl groups,

234. you'll each write and record original verses.

235. And then, each group will be in charge

236. of their own group choreography.

237. - Oh, bitch. I'm about to murder.

238. I'm about to kill.

239. I'm about to eat.

240. I'm about to doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

241. - Sapphira, you won today's Mini Challenge.

242. Plasma, you won last week's Maxi Challenge.

243. And, Geneva, you survived last week's Lip Sync for Your Life.

244. So each of you will be team captains.

245. Time to choose your groups.

246. All right, Sapphira, you go first.

247. Who do you choose to be in your girl group?

248. - Dawn.

249. - Plasma, you're next.

250. - Well, I think the Meating is mandatory, Ru.

251. - Ooh.

252. - Get over here, Ms. Amanda.

253. - All right, Geneva.

254. - I'll take my sister Mhi'ya.

255. - Meow. - All right, Sapphira.

256. - Morphine.

257. I'm ready. I'm ready, bitch.

258. - Get over here, Ms. Muse.

259. - I'm craving potassium.

260. Come here, Nymphia.

261. - Quoi?

262. - Why?

263. - So that leaves Plane Jane and Megami.

264. - I think that I'm one of the last two standing

265. because the girls are probably being strategic

266. and they're thinking, if their team wins,

267. then I'm gonna be the standout.

268. - Plasma.

269. - Hmm.

270. Miss Plane.

271. Pick your nasty.

272. - Plasma picks Plane Jane's bitch ass,

273. and I'm furious.

274. I can't even.

275. - That means Megami will go to Geneva's team.

276. - Come here, satinasister.

277. - Being picked last, it doesn't feel great.

278. If they don't believe in me, then fuck them.

279. I know I can do fantastic in this challenge.

280. - So, Sapphira's group, you'll all be performing "Star Baby."

281. - Plasma's group, you'll be performing "Courage to Love."

282. - Geneva's group, you'll be performing...

283. "ASMR Lover."

284. - Racers, start your engines.

285. And may the best drag queen win.

286. - I definitely feel like Geneva's group

287. is going to be the weakest in the challenge.

288. First of all, they're all quiet.

289. Second of all, they are a lot of bottoms.

290. I already see a sinking ship, honey.

291. I'm praying for them.

292. They're in God's hands.

293. - Let's get to it then, shall we?

294. - Sweeties.

295. - Today's Maxi Challenge is girl groups.

296. We are doing RuPaul's songs.

297. And we're about to make them even better, okay?

298. - Oh.

299. Sickening.

300. We have to write our own verse, choreograph

301. an entire group number, and dance our asses off, bitch.

302. - I was in a girl group in Philly.

303. I'm really excited to work with y'all.

304. - Yeah.

305. - I love girl grouping.

306. I actually am a part of a girl group

307. called Philly's Foxes in Philadelphia.

308. So I feel geared up to step up to the plate and then...

309. Home run.

310. - I could do the choreo for you guys if you want.

311. Like, I have ideas. I have, like—

312. - I feel like this song is very your vibe.

313. And so I definitely think that you'll be able to get us

314. together, like, choreo-wise.

315. - I'm excited because it's a dance challenge.

316. And I really wanna win a fucking challenge.

317. I know you've been in the top three times.

318. - I have—I didn't say anything.

319. - I shouldn't talk about me. - No.

320. No, I didn't say anything.

321. I know, like, whatever I do, I'm gonna slay, so.

322. I'm not a dancer, but I'm a great singer.

323. I can write a verse.

324. I wanna show that I don't have to kaka-de-kaka

325. five, six, seven, eight to win this challenge.

326. - You don't have to be a good singer to create good music.

327. That being said, as a singer,

328. I can't wait to make really great music.

329. I would love a big vocal moment

330. to, like, do something poppy because I've done only,

331. like, classic shit.

332. - I see her as starting.

333. - Yeah. - I'm feeling more three.

334. - If you're feeling three, I'll take four.

335. We wanna finish strongly too.

336. - Obviously, Jane and I have our beef.

337. I mean, I'm not thrilled to work with her,

338. but I've worked with tons of bitches

339. I don't like before, and I'm certainly

340. not gonna let that stand in the way

341. of me winning this challenge.

342. I've written lyrics a lot.

343. - And I co-wrote the iconic and instantly recognizable

344. lyrics to "Burger Finger."

345. - I do think Plane Jane is big competition for me.

346. But I'm a trained vocaliste.

347. I'm also a lyric writer.

348. I know I'm better than her.

349. So right now, I have...

350. - Work. - That's a really good start.

351. Damn. Okay, bitch.

352. - I said I wrote lyrics. - What do you have?

353. - I'm slaying.

354. She can be mad if she wants.

355. - Xunami, this is my suggestion.

356. I love what you have in the beginning.

357. Sickening.

358. What if you start out with that and then go faster at the end?

359. - Just be slow in the beginning?

360. - Slow. Like, you go, like—

361. - I think you could even take what you—

362. I think you could take these two couplets

363. and put them in that beginning spot.

364. - Xunami, this is my suggestion.

365. Doo, doo, doo, doo.

366. - Here's—here's what I'm hearing.

367. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, dump, bum, bum.

368. - I mean, I—there's— there's a little

369. too many cooks in the kitchen.

370. - Work.

371. - Plane Jane thinks she's the shit,

372. but Amanda also thinks she's the shit.

373. So you put those two in the room together,

374. only one is coming out alive.

375. - Have you been waiting for this?

376. - Yes, definitely.

377. I'm excited because I can show off

378. my rap skills and some more of my dancing skills.

379. - We need to figure out about, like, the choreography too.

380. Like—

381. - I—I'll handle the choreography.

382. - I chose you because I know you can dance.

383. - Why did you choose Megami?

384. - Because I was all that was left.

385. - Oh, I forgot.

386. - It doesn't feel good.

387. - Yeah.

388. - I feel like...

389. Oh, my God.

390. Like, most of my life, I've always been—

391. - Oh, my God, Megami.

392. - No.

393. Don't do that.

394. - You know, I'm so used to, like, being picked last.

395. Yeah, I'm, like, used to having to prove myself to people.

396. - You don't have to do anything.

397. - You know, we're gonna fucking kill this challenge.

398. And we're gonna, you know, slay those hoes, okay?

399. - I'm just gonna have to channel all this energy

400. into showing everyone I'm a fucking force

401. to be reckoned with, even if they don't fucking see it.

402. - Let's listen to the song.

403. - Yeah, let's listen to it one more time.

404. - Yeah.

405. - I'm excited for the performing part.

406. But I am dreading the writing of the lyrics.

407. Um...

408. Language is just not my strongest form of expression.

409. Banana fanana katana.

410. - Katana?

411. - This shit is hard.

412. I know what my verse is gonna be.

413. That's a start.

414. - Yeah.

415. - Girl, we got it. You love bananas, Mama.

416. But what else is there?

417. - She's having a moment.

418. - I really need to do well this week.

419. Can you focus for, like, two seconds?

420. - Wah.

421. What does a yak sound like?

422. Wah.

423. - Oh, shit.

424. We're gonna be in the bottom.

425. - Whoo! - We're ready to dance.

426. - It is time for us to get up on this main stage

427. and figure out exactly what we are gonna be

428. doing for the judges tomorrow.

429. - We should probably get started.

430. I am the team captain, and I've choreographed before.

431. So I am leading the charge with choreography.

432. Okay. Here we go.

433. We're gonna start coming out of Amanda's verse

434. into the chorus.

435. So, Amanda, I'm gonna have you right here on this T.

436. You're gonna be alone downstage.

437. The rest of us are gonna be upstage.

438. But for right now, Amanda's gonna be standing

439. right here doing this.

440. I'm gonna stand in front.

441. Or actually, Amanda, let me be right here.

442. And, Amanda, actually if you wanted to split

443. this column right there.

444. Yeah, so we're gonna just—

445. - Can you slow down your talking?

446. - Yay.

447. Okay, so what we're gonna do, we're gonna give them

448. a bit of the dragography for just a moment.

449. We're gonna go double arm ha, ah, ha.

450. Weight on the right foot.

451. Pas de bourree shampoo.

452. Left and right.

453. - Why?

454. - 1 and 2. - Right.

455. - 3 and 4 was what I had planned.

456. - Do it again?

457. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

458. - Right off the bat, Ms. Plasma is going so fast.

459. Do this, do that.

460. And I'm like.

461. - And then we're gonna do what's called a contagion,

462. which is where I'm gonna start a move,

463. then Amanda does it with me, then Xunami, then Plane.

464. - Fosse, Fosse, Fosse, Fosse.

465. - What is this? Fucking dance boot camp?

466. - 1 and 2.

467. 3 and 4.

468. 5, 6, 7, 8.

469. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

470. - Ah! - Yeah?

471. That BFA didn't cost nothing, honey.

472. All right.

473. This is a lot of steps.

474. I'm not—I'm not gonna be able to do all of this.

475. - Xunami is completely struggling.

476. My girl is not understanding a word Plasma's saying.

477. - How do you do a windmill?

478. - Lead with your hip like you're doing right now.

479. Show your hole hide your hole. - Oh.

480. - Show your hole hide your hole.

481. Yeah, boom, boom.

482. Yeah, that's exactly it.

483. I come from the theater.

484. I started touring with the international company

485. of "Kinky Boots."

486. It's up, down, up for— like, you're going down.

487. Your body is going down.

488. But the hip is going up, down, up.

489. So this, sort of, like, singing, dancing gig,

490. especially with a group of girls,

491. that is completely what I do.

492. - Can we pause?

493. Thank you.

494. - Oh, Amanda.

495. Amanda's fierce.

496. - Ha, ha, ha.

497. - Plane, if you need a lyric, it's...

498. - Got the courage. - Got the courage.

499. - That's exactly right. Yeah.

500. - Plane must be feeling some type of way right now

501. 'cause Amanda Tori Meating is eating her up

502. in this choreography, baby.

503. Ooh.

504. And that's the T.

505. - Y'all better watch out for Ms. Amanda, girl.

506. She might steal the show.

507. - Well, no, it depends on—

508. it depends on what her runway is.

509. - Chop. Chop. Line up. - We'll follow your lead.

510. - Start from the chorus

511. because that's the part we need to get down.

512. - And then the windows.

513. So yeah, that's good.

514. - Come closer.

515. No, we gotta use the whole stage.

516. - Yeah. - You go out somewhere.

517. - You want me to open more?

518. - And we gonna stay right here.

519. - It looks like Mhi'ya is the choreographer.

520. But I'm not really seeing her, like, grab hold of the wheel.

521. - We in the boxes.

522. - Yeah, we'll leave two boxes for us here in the middle.

523. - And the next eight counts is 8, 9.

524. 1, 2, 3, 4.

525. - Is she up there whispering to them?

526. - 5, 6, 7, 8.

527. Y'all got it?

528. - Like, are they talking?

529. - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

530. 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2.

531. - We're not—because you're doing, like—

532. it's the 1, 2.

533. - But watch me, okay? Watch me.

534. If I was gonna give them hard choreography,

535. these bitches would be kicking their legs up,

536. doing jumps, flips, and splits.

537. But the choreography is easy.

538. Megami is still struggling with the moves.

539. So it's not looking good right now.

540. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

541. And 1, 2, 3, 4.

542. - Megami is looking like a lost child,

543. looking for Mommy at the mall.

544. Team Geneva might be in danger.

545. Um...

546. yeah.

547. - Somebody is off.

548. - I think they're all off.

549. - Though Geneva is our team captain,

550. she is definitely not a director.

551. She is not directing us in any sort of way.

552. It's a girl group moment,

553. and we all need to be somewhat cohesive.

554. - I feel like the beat there—

555. there is something missing in that movement

556. because I feel like we could add

557. one more thing to fill it out.

558. So like, da, da, da, da.

559. I am confident in my ability to serve girl group.

560. I started my drag journey with a K-pop group

561. back in the day.

562. I formed a little group called Nine Generation.

563. And I would learn the dances and teach it to the group.

564. So I was trained to do this.

565. Maybe stand up first.

566. - Yeah, and then go into it. - And then go down.

567. Da, da, da, da, da, da.

568. So it's like a, hey, hey, down, up, love.

569. - All right.

570. - Oh, tricky, tricky Nymphia.

571. She seems to always be saying she can't do something

572. and then, all of a sudden, just doing it.

573. - Is Nymphia a dancer?

574. - She's that girl who likes to hide her talents.

575. She's playing a game. - She's playing a game.

576. - Nymphia, the queen of the mind games.

577. - I got my eye on you, girl.

578. - Bitch, one thing about me, I know

579. how to throw some choreo out.

580. - Can—

581. oh, oh, oh, oh.

582. - I am the Abby Lee Miller

583. of "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 16.

584. Your finger's always pointing to the sky.

585. - You're following your hands?

586. - Yeah, think of it like this.

587. You get an apple.

588. You eat the apple.

589. You throw away the apple.

590. And I wanted to do something like duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.

591. - A little Madonna walk? - Duh.

592. - Yeah. - Ooh.

593. - Like a little Madonna walk. And then the leg out.

594. - Okay.

595. - So we could go...

596. 2, 3, 4.

597. 1, 2, 3, 4.

598. - You need to get the moves more down.

599. - Yeah.

600. Choreography is definitely the part of this challenge

601. where I'm a little bit, like, shaky, a little bit scared.

602. - 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, 6.

603. - Not the—that's like—

604. like a sumo wrestling girl.

605. - Q is struggling a little bit.

606. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

607. - Mama really does have two left feet, Mama.

608. And they're wooden. Like, she cannot dance.

609. Yeah, you— - Separate?

610. - So someone's gonna go like this.

611. And then you go. - Ooh.

612. - Ooh. - Oh, yeah, I like that.

613. - Yeah, hit it.

614. - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

615. - Yeah, it's the robot arms.

616. - Q is kind of clomping up on that runway.

617. - Nymphia.

618. - I'm kind of nervous if she can figure out a way

619. to sew herself out of this situation.

620. - I feel like the Q can finally feel what

621. it's like to be in the bottom.

622. And she doesn't have to feel so sad about being

623. in the top for so many weeks.

624. I think she's finally released of that.

625. - I can't wait to see how this turns out.

626. - Sister.

627. Whoa!

628. - It's a new day in the Werk Room,

629. and I can't wait to go up on that stage

630. and give these judges the business.

631. - How are you feeling about your team?

632. I haven't gotten to talk to you.

633. - I know.

634. - How are you feeling about your number, your team?

635. - Well, those are all very different

636. questions, aren't they?

637. - Yeah.

638. - Honestly, I'm feeling so cunt.

639. - Good.

640. - I feel like this is, like, what I do.

641. - This is your shtick.

642. This is your shit, babe.

643. - I feel so in my element.

644. And so that's exciting.

645. And it makes me feel like, bitch,

646. this might be my week to win.

647. - Girl, anybody but me. - Everyone except us.

648. - I would be happy if one of our team members is on the top

649. and the rest is safe.

650. I'm very hoping for that, like, honestly.

651. - After, like, my trauma yesterday,

652. I am ready to show all these bitches, like,

653. I am fucking fierce as shit.

654. - Yeah, I don't wanna lip sync again this week.

655. - Oh, no.

656. Good luck, Charlie.

657. - I might hash out some of this drama with Plane.

658. I feel like I should maybe go talk to her here in a second.

659. I'm feeling kind of irritated with Plane.

660. I'm definitely somebody who addresses conflict.

661. I don't let things go unanswered for.

662. How's everybody doing over here?

663. - It's so sickening.

664. - Do you think Q is gonna be top two again?

665. Would she be cursed?

666. - Girl.

667. Which brings up.

668. So last week, I really, like, opened up to the girls about,

669. like, how hard I am on myself.

670. - Yes.

671. - And then it felt like right after,

672. you kind of just, like, walked all over it.

673. - It was more so just from, like,

674. a competitor's standpoint.

675. Like, you've been getting consistently,

676. like, good critiques.

677. I wasn't trying to invalidate your feelings.

678. - That's exactly what it did, though.

679. It just felt like it was coming out of, like, left field

680. because I thought we did have a little bit more

681. of a respect for each other.

682. And then it felt like it was almost like a repeat

683. of the thing with Amanda.

684. - Well, I—rest assured, I definitely have more respect

685. for you than I do for Amanda.

686. - Why are you such a cunt, honestly?

687. What's with this, I have more respect for you

688. than I do with Amanda?

689. Like, where is this coming from, bitch?

690. - Get her, girl.

691. Get her ass.

692. - I don't know you.

693. - I don't know you, either.

694. - So what is the tea, girl? Like—

695. - Wait. Who am I— - At this point—

696. - Who am I resolving things with, you or Q right now?

697. - Well, you brought her into it when you talked shit on her.

698. - You really did because I wasn't even part

699. of that conversation until you yanked me into it.

700. I wish I had popcorn.

701. Like, oh, my God, this is so amazing.

702. - It was just some fun shade, girl.

703. Relax.

704. Calm down. - Okay. Sure.

705. - We're on the same girl group.

706. Let's be friends for now,

707. and let's kill this challenge.

708. - I'm shaking.

709. - Yeah, I was a bitch to Amanda.

710. Did I mean what I said? Yes.

711. I'm truly not a horrible person.

712. Those were my opinions.

713. Now it's just a matter of, how can we move forward?

714. I'm sorry that in that moment,

715. it felt like I was invalidating your feelings because I—

716. I don't wanna do that.

717. And, like, I really—

718. I really do apologize.

719. - Thank you for apologizing. - Of course.

720. Hug, hug.

721. - Yeah, we can hug.

722. As of right now, I'm taking it in.

723. But I'm not sure if I buy it.

724. Just be mindful... - Of course.

725. - Of what you're saying.

726. - Of course.

727. - I'm definitely keeping an eye on her

728. because I'm not sure right now if her apology is genuine.

729. - Does this happen a lot for you, like, in Boston too?

730. - People having issues with me and the things that I say?

731. - Like, with your word choices or the way that you...

732. - Yeah, I would say so. - Choose to express yourself?

733. - I would say so, yeah. - Yeah.

734. Everyone sees me as a mother bear.

735. Sometimes I gotta come to you and tell you what—how it is.

736. From the outside looking in, I feel like

737. you're misspeaking a lot.

738. - Yeah.

739. - I was wondering, like, if, like,

740. maybe there is a way to stop that from happening for you.

741. - Sometimes, I'm just—

742. I operate in the moment, and I don't really, sort of,

743. like, take into consideration people's feelings

744. in the moment.

745. So maybe that's something that I need to work on.

746. Sapphira's mother.

747. So I'm taking in what she has to say.

748. But when an entertainer puts themselves out on stage,

749. it's fair game to criticize what they put out there.

750. At the end of the day, though, Sapphira, like,

751. I'm gonna say shit that people might not like.

752. This is me.

753. Like, take it or leave it.

754. I totally separate how I feel about Amanda's drag

755. versus how I feel about her as a person.

756. And her body of work gets the Golden Boot from me.

757. I'm so sorry, sister.

758. - You can say what you want, but shit gonna happen.

759. At some point, people are gonna get fed up with it.

760. - Right. I get that, Mother.

761. Put me in my place.

762. Spank my ass.

763. - That's later.

764. - Maybe I should be thinking about more about the clapback

765. that I'm gonna get after this.

766. But I'm totally just having a blast living out

767. my shady bitch fantasy here.

768. - Plasmarina Love Dion.

769. - Yes, miss ma'am.

770. - How do you feel with your groove?

771. - Well, I felt a lot better when Amanda and Plane

772. weren't screaming at each other.

773. - Oh.

774. - Our song is called "Courage to Love."

775. - I'm here to win a challenge.

776. Don't fuck it up.

777. - Yes.

778. - It's girl group night here at "RuPaul's Drag Race."

779. Michelle Visage, now, is there any truth to the rumors

780. that Seduction is getting back together?

781. - Well, I'm not at liberty to say.

782. But if we do, the tour will be sponsored by AARP.

783. - Whoo.

784. - Depends Diapers dropped out?

785. - Ts Madison, now, have you ever been in a girl group?

786. - No, Ru, because they never last.

787. But these girls, oh, honey, they'll be with me forever.

788. - From the iconic Icona Pop, it's Caroline and Aino.

789. Welcome.

790. Thank you.

791. - Thank you so much.

792. - Now, how do you say, hey, girl, hey, in Swedish?

793. - Okay, listen carefully,

794. because it's pretty complicated.

795. - Are you ready?

796. - I am.

797. Hey, girl, hey.

798. - Oh, my goodness.

799. I've been bilingual this whole time

800. and I didn't even know it.

801. This week, we challenged our queens

802. to slay the stage with sickening remixes

803. of three of my songs.

804. Racers, start your engines.

805. And may the best drag queen win.

806. - And now give it up for QDSM.

807. - Good work, gorgeous.

808. - Give it up for Lovah Girlz.

809. - Give it up for Thicc & Stick.

810. - I kind of didn't expect that.

811. - Y'all nervous now, huh?

812. - They're really good.

813. - I don't get nervous.

814. I get drop dead scared.

815. No idea how this is gonna go.

816. It could go that way. It could go this way.

817. Not this way. I'm not going home.

818. Well, it could go any way.

819. It's a crapshoot. Truly.

820. Oh, my God. I'm spitting so much.

821. - Category is Faster Pussycat, Wig, Wig.

822. Up first, Morphine.

823. Bitches get stitches.

824. - Bitch, I do not come here to play.

825. I have a blood red pussycat wig

826. with pussy little dangly beads

827. hanging on the side like blood.

828. And then when I turn around, oh,

829. I have cat scratches on my ass.

830. - On the next episode of "Claw and Order."

831. Q.

832. Serving Camelot with a camel toe.

833. - Today, I am giving badass warrior, vampiric knight,

834. and a really sleek white pussycat wig

835. armored corset that is, like, cinching me

836. within an inch of my life.

837. This is detailed, bitch.

838. - Honey, it's been one of those nights.

839. - Sapphira Cristál.

840. - I own 71% of these shoulders.

841. - We ain't got no regular degular

842. pussycat wig up in this house.

843. This is actually a pussycat.

844. - Oh. - Oh.

845. - Oh, wow. - Dr. Schivel.

846. - I'm serving villain supreme realness.

847. And I want $200,000.

848. - Talk about bald ambitions.

849. - Dawn.

850. - Hey, Dawn. Why so blue?

851. - This runway is alien girl goes to the mall.

852. And it's all rhinestoned.

853. It's all a lot.

854. And it's all very me.

855. My kitty cat wig is a bowl cut.

856. From the front, it's not very kitty cat.

857. But in the back, it definitely has that little kitty moment.

858. - Remember Smurfette?

859. Well, this is her now.

860. - Yes.

861. - Plasma.

862. - She's totally winging it.

863. - I chose to do my head to toe gay ass

864. Hermes, the Greek messenger goddess, moment.

865. So I'm wearing my white pussycat wig

866. with my gold feathered details underneath my huge

867. gold-winged headphones 'cause I wanted to give Hermes

868. a little bit of a Y2K feel.

869. - FTD, Telegram.

870. - Better than STD.

871. Amanda Tori Meating in the ladies room.

872. - This is not RuPaul's nest friend race.

873. - My kitty cat wig is the top of my robin's egg,

874. which is also my head, just hatching through

875. to reveal my gorgeous eyes.

876. I wanted to incorporate the pussycat wigs

877. in an unexpected way.

878. - Is she giving nesting bitch face?

879. - Xunami Muse.

880. - Oh, slay. - Whoo.

881. - Oh. She's mad adorable. - Wow.

882. - Not every girl can look good in this hairstyle.

883. And I know I look exquisite.

884. I am giving you attitude.

885. I'm flirting with the judges.

886. And, you know, wink, wink here.

887. I feel so in my element in this moment.

888. - Who let the bulls out?

889. Plane Jane.

890. - Put your mask on first.

891. - Put your mask on you before you put

892. the mask on your child face.

893. - On top of my latex facekini

894. is a little blonde platinum pussycat wig.

895. This look is just extreme latex,

896. fetish, bimbo to the max.

897. - Be honest, is it Michelle's breath?

898. Geneva Karr.

899. - Jazz hot, baby.

900. - I'm giving you 1920s flapper girl.

901. My wig is like a finger wave short, like very retro.

902. Very elegant.

903. And, you know, I wanted to show

904. it's not all big Texas hair.

905. - Did you just give me the finger wave?

906. - Mhi'ya Iman LePaige.

907. She's got a very pointed opinion.

908. - She does.

909. - She's one of the Pointer Sisters.

910. - My wig is giving you Mary J. Blige.

911. It's giving you mushroom, shortcuts.

912. Chop, chop, chop, chop.

913. And because my shortcut is small,

914. I'm giving you shoulders pointing to the gods.

915. - Can you just point me to the restroom?

916. - Megami.

917. - Is that a pixie in a pussycat wig?

918. - I am literally just the Staten Island fairy.

919. And my little pussycat pixie wig

920. is on backwards 'cause I think it gives it, like,

921. a little more of a punk edge.

922. And the outfit is very sheer.

923. I spent a lot of money on these tattoos,

924. so I'm gonna show all of them off.

925. - That's right. Give them hell, Tinkerbell.

926. - All out of pixie dust, babe.

927. - Nymphia.

928. - Wow.

929. - Ooh.

930. - So I am giving you the Trinity Meow Cat.

931. A pussycat wig.

932. Hold on a second.

933. I have one more thing to reveal.

934. Ew.

935. - Oh, it's the new vulva cut.

936. - Oh, I've heard about that.

937. - She's got pussy on the brain.

938. - Welcome, queens.

939. First, I must ask,

940. Sapphira, do you wish to use your immunity potion this week?

941. - No.

942. - Very good.

943. Plane Jane, would you like to use

944. your immunity potion this week?

945. - Not this week, Ru.

946. - Okay.

947. Queens, I've made some decisions.

948. Geneva Karr,

949. Mhi'ya Iman LePaige,

950. Megami,

951. Nymphia Wind.

952. Condragulations, you are the winning

953. girl group of the week.

954. Finally, a win under my belt.

955. And I did it with my girls.

956. - Oh, my God. - Whoo!

957. - It feels amazing to win,

958. especially after being picked last.

959. I'm incredibly proud of myself.

960. - And you will split the cash prize of $5,000.

961. You do the math.

962. - No problem.

963. - You may leave the stage.

964. - Thank you, Ru.

965. - Let's do the math.

966. - Ladies, you are all up for elimination.

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

968. starting with Sapphira Cristál.

969. - I enjoyed watching you in the girl group

970. because you commanded the stage.

971. - You look like Beyoncé.

972. We absolutely loved it.

973. - We're very impressed.

974. - I did see that there were things going on

975. in your head just a tad.

976. But other than that, you did great.

977. - This look tonight was very smart.

978. You took your pussycat wig to a new level,

979. giving a nod to a great character in film,

980. but also making it drag.

981. - Up next, Morphine Love Dion.

982. - You look amazing, yeah.

983. - That hair, amazing.

984. - And I love the glitter scratch marks on the back.

985. - I say, who done scratched up my leather sofa like that?

986. You did a great job in the challenge.

987. You gave energy.

988. And you shook your tail feather.

989. - One thing that struck me a lot from every time

990. you've hit this runway is, I want you to know

991. that you are more than a BBL.

992. Your punchline is always that.

993. Value who you are as a queen.

994. - Yeah, 'cause you're more than a really nice ass.

995. You're a great set of tits too.

996. Up next, Q.

997. - This looks hot pussy on a tin roof.

998. - This looks like a million bucks.

999. Who is responsible for this?

1000. - I made this one. - You made it?

1001. - You are kidding me. - Yeah.

1002. - Wow. - Wow.

1003. - But I struggled with you in this girl group.

1004. The look was kind of basic bitch for you

1005. because you don't do that.

1006. - Out of everybody in the girl group,

1007. you didn't sparkle or shine.

1008. - Singing, fantastic.

1009. Dancing, not so much.

1010. Dancing was a little off.

1011. Up next, it's the Dawn of a new era.

1012. - We absolutely loved you in the girl group.

1013. It was like you added spice to Spice Girls.

1014. - I just like the way that you came out with confidence.

1015. You made it seem effortless.

1016. - I really like this.

1017. I don't know if I'm getting pussycat wig.

1018. But when you turn around, it's there.

1019. So it's like she's doing it Dawn's way.

1020. I would like to challenge you with the elf ears.

1021. We wanna see versatility.

1022. - Got you, babe. Don't worry. - Okay.

1023. - Thank you. - Thank you.

1024. - Up next, Plasma.

1025. - I thought you were fantastic in your group.

1026. - You gave bad bitch energy from the door.

1027. You was rapping. I was like, oh, my God.

1028. Yes, get it, girl.

1029. You know, you just wowed me.

1030. - You were a really good dancer.

1031. - And this look is— is super fun, super different.

1032. - It is absolutely ridiculous, but I love it.

1033. Your makeup looks gorgeous.

1034. - It's a little far from the—the Rita Hayworth

1035. or the Barbara that I'm a little used to, Ru.

1036. - Yeah, no, it looks great. Sure does.

1037. - Thank you.

1038. - Up next, Amanda Tori Meating.

1039. - You are an incredible dancer.

1040. Your energy, your performance was top notch.

1041. Now, we do have to talk about the wrinkly butt

1042. that's in the room.

1043. Your padding was wrong.

1044. If you're gonna give us that, then you gotta give us that.

1045. - You were side-by-side with Miss Got-The-Body over there,

1046. Plane Jane.

1047. And then we were comparing the two,

1048. and it really took us out of the illusion.

1049. - Explain the pussycat wig.

1050. - It's pussycat wig.

1051. The first thing I thought was cats.

1052. And so I was like, well, maybe there's a big nest,

1053. and there are eggs, and I just, sort of—

1054. I don't know.

1055. - It just doesn't really make sense as far as pussycat wigs.

1056. Because you're so close and you've got the egg here,

1057. it kind of takes away from the pussycat wig.

1058. - You have to stick to the challenge

1059. when it's given to you.

1060. - You have trouble with some of the drag aesthetic.

1061. This idea is great.

1062. It's just a little bit off.

1063. - Up next, Xunami Muse.

1064. In the challenge, you were dancing up a storm.

1065. - Also, in those heels, you make it look

1066. so easy to go up and down.

1067. - How? - How do you do it?

1068. - How? When you went down, I was like.

1069. - It's insane.

1070. - And this outfit is so chic.

1071. It looks like 1977 Yves Saint Laurent.

1072. - We were all like, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,

1073. like we're lesbians, yeah.

1074. - Yeah, I really enjoyed this look.

1075. I'm blushing.

1076. - Thank you.

1077. - Up next, Plane Jane.

1078. - In the girl group challenge, it was body, body, body.

1079. And I'm a girl that loves body.

1080. I think that you are a fierce queen.

1081. - You were so convincing in everything

1082. that you were doing.

1083. Your hair, your baby hairs, your attitude.

1084. - You felt like one of those lead singers in a girl group.

1085. - What are your favorite lyrics in what you wrote?

1086. - Don't break my heart, just break my back, I think.

1087. - Yes. Yes.

1088. - Not since Edgar Allan Poe.

1089. - No, it's a beautiful lyric.

1090. - Thank you.

1091. - This look tonight, super fun.

1092. - Girl, I was like BDS mm-hmm.

1093. - I love that mask.

1094. I wanted to just put it on and just sss.

1095. - Sss.

1096. - All right, thank you.

1097. Ladies, it's such a close race.

1098. I have to ask, who do you think

1099. should go home tonight and why?

1100. Starting with Sapphira.

1101. - Amanda.

1102. She's a growing queen.

1103. However, this is not the place to grow.

1104. - Morphine, same question.

1105. - I would choose Amanda tonight.

1106. The runway didn't hit the mark.

1107. - Q?

1108. - It's definitely between Amanda and Xunami.

1109. I think both haven't, like, made a really grand mark

1110. in the competition as of yet.

1111. - Dawn?

1112. - I'm going to say Q

1113. because she's my biggest competition here.

1114. - All right, Plasma?

1115. - Based solely on critique tonight,

1116. I will also say Q.

1117. - Amanda?

1118. - I also agree, Q seemed to be toward the bottom.

1119. So I would say her.

1120. - Xunami?

1121. - Based on this week's challenge and critiques,

1122. I have to say to Q. - Plane Jane?

1123. - As far as who should go to home tonight,

1124. I think it should be Amanda.

1125. I don't think her aesthetic is up to the level

1126. that it needs to be.

1127. While Q did underperform in the challenge,

1128. it's not enough in my eyes to, like, discount

1129. all the previous great work that she's done here.

1130. I think that it's definitely Amanda's time.

1131. - Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.

1132. While you untuck in the Lush Lounge,

1133. the judges and I will deliberate.

1134. All right, just between us squirrel friends,

1135. what do you think?

1136. Let's start with Sapphira.

1137. - She just has presence.

1138. You have to look at her.

1139. - She's at the top for me.

1140. - All right, let's talk about Morphine.

1141. - In the girl group, she looked beautiful.

1142. Then she came out here, totally different look for her.

1143. - I appreciate the fact that Morphine

1144. is taking chances with her silhouette.

1145. She's a fantastic performer.

1146. All right, let's talk about Q.

1147. - I'm happy we got to see Q in the runway look.

1148. We loved it.

1149. But in the girl group challenge,

1150. I was not blown away.

1151. - That girl group look was not the tea for me.

1152. - Also, come on, let's face it,

1153. she was the worst dancer of everybody up there.

1154. Dawn.

1155. - In the girl group challenge, I said,

1156. girl, Tinkerbell got moves.

1157. - I did not expect that level

1158. of performance from Dawn tonight.

1159. - With everything Dawn did tonight,

1160. it feels like she invited us into her world.

1161. She's special.

1162. - She's an eclectic queen.

1163. You see I'm trying to get that word again?

1164. - You certainly—you look— sound like you went to college.

1165. - Eclectic. I went somewhere.

1166. - Plasma.

1167. - She's been one of those sparkly persons.

1168. I just love watching her.

1169. - Yeah, she felt like a powerhouse to me.

1170. - Then her look on the runway, different for her.

1171. I like that versatility.

1172. - She came in as the mid-century queen.

1173. Now she's doing it all.

1174. - She is a strong contestant in this competition.

1175. - Amanda Tori Meating.

1176. - She could dance unbelievably incredible.

1177. But I was taken out of it when we saw the wrinkly butt.

1178. Again, then that flat wig,

1179. like, kept slapping her in the face.

1180. And then on the runway, I had no idea

1181. where this look came from.

1182. - Is a cat sitting on those eggs?

1183. What's going on?

1184. - I don't know.

1185. - She's got the talent.

1186. The aesthetic just seemed messy.

1187. It's those details that are really dragging her down.

1188. All right, let's talk about Xunami.

1189. She was a real participant in that girl group.

1190. And she looked fantastic.

1191. - What she was delivering on the catwalk was just on point.

1192. Absolutely loved it.

1193. - I was feeling some kind of way

1194. when she was looking at us

1195. like she was Morris Day or Rick James.

1196. And I'm saying, oh, oh, oh, I'm—what am I feeling?

1197. Plane Jane.

1198. - She was the quintessential girl grouper tonight.

1199. She had everything on lock, the choreography, the body,

1200. the look, the hair, all of it. I loved it.

1201. - She's flirting with humor in a very smart way.

1202. - Love her. - Love her.

1203. Chop, chop.

1204. - What the fuck is chop, chop?

1205. - I don't know.

1206. It just sort of came up.

1207. - Chop, chop, - Yeah, all right.

1208. Silence.

1209. I've made my decision.

1210. Bring back my girls.

1211. - Chop, chop.

1212. - Welcome back, queens.

1213. I've made some difficult decisions.

1214. - Amanda Tori Meating.

1215. Q.

1216. I'm sorry, my dears,

1217. but you are both up for elimination.

1218. The rest of you are safe.

1219. You may join the other girls.

1220. - Thank you.

1221. - You better fucking kill it.

1222. - I love you, Amanda. Kill it.

1223. - I love you too.

1224. - I'm about to fight like hell

1225. because I don't deserve to go home.

1226. - Two queens stand before me.

1227. Prior to tonight, you were asked

1228. to prepare a lip sync performance of "Emergency"

1229. by Icona Pop.

1230. The time has come for you to Lip Sync

1231. for Your Life.

1232. - Lip syncing against my friend

1233. is a very mixed bag of emotions.

1234. But I'm just thinking to myself, bitch, it's showtime.

1235. - Good luck.

1236. And don't fuck it up.

1237. - Come on, bitches.

1238. - Wow. - Yes.

1239. - Ladies, I've made my decision.

1240. Q, Shantay, you stay.

1241. You may join the other girls.

1242. I love you so much. - I love you.

1243. - I love you.

1244. - Amanda, my queen,

1245. meeting you wasn't just mandatory,

1246. it has been a joy.

1247. - I just wanna say, thank you so much.

1248. And I'm just really, really grateful.

1249. - Thank you.

1250. Now sashay away.

1251. - Love you.

1252. - Well, at least I did what I came to do,

1253. Blow the sound crew.

1254. Bye.

1255. I really didn't wanna go home with blue shit

1256. all over my mouth.

1257. Just, like, I wanted to show more.

1258. I'm definitely taking away sisters for life,

1259. except for that one bitch.

1260. - Condragulations, queens.

1261. And remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell

1262. are you gonna love somebody else?

1263. Can I get an amen up in here?

1264. Amen!

1265. - All right, now let the music play.

1266. - Next time on "RuPaul's Drag Race"...

1267. You get to create your own doll.

1268. - Not me starting over. - No, you're starting over?

1269. - Oh, my gosh. You're done. You're done.

1270. You're done.

1271. - Your doll is so beautiful.

1272. - From the neck up, beauty queen.

1273. From the neck down—

1274. horror queen.

1275. - You know who I think should maybe

1276. consider using their immunity potion today?

1277. Sapphira. - You think so?

1278. - I think so.

1279. - God damn it.
