RuPaul's Drag Race 16x7

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

2. You get to create your own doll.

3. Ooh.

4. Sapphira, do you want to use your immunity potion?

5. - Yup.

6. - Geneva Karr, from the neck up, beauty queen.

7. From the neck down, horror queen.

8. - Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige.

9. - You kept talking about this flipping doll,

10. but nobody's flipping.

11. - Cute.

12. - I can't see any imperfections in your outfit.

13. - Condragulations, you are the winner

14. of this week's challenge.

15. Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige.

16. Shantay, you stay.

17. Geneva Karr, sashay away.

18. - Geneva, La diva, mas Latina.

19. - Not Malita.

20. You know how to read that, Maya?

21. - "Mala ditas la—"

22. - Bitch, for that lip sync—

23. - She's known as the Queen of Flips for a reason.

24. - Girl.

25. - We're all sad that Geneva is gone,

26. but after seeing Maya lip sync, there's, like,

27. a terror in the room.

28. Can you imagine lip syncing against her?

29. - Well, I think the new lip-sync assassin has arrived,

30. and whoever I gotta send home, I'm sending them home.

31. - Ooh. - All right, girl.

32. - I know that's right.

33. - You know, Maya did slay her nasty boots in the lip sync,

34. and she feels indestructible, but that's not

35. what "Drag Race" is about, baby.

36. You gotta slay everything.

37. - Miss Q, on behalf of the former winners

38. of the competition, welcome to the winner's circle.

39. - Yes! - Welcome to you.

40. - It only took you six episodes, but you did it.

41. Cue the applause, everybody.

42. I just won my first challenge.

43. Thank you. Thank you.

44. - So how does it feel?

45. - $5,000 isn't too bad.

46. - Is it time to start checking the scoreboard yet, or no?

47. No, it's not that time yet?

48. - Not yet.

49. - She says not yet because she doesn't have S on the board.

50. - We'll wait for you, sister. We'll wait—

51. - Thank you. Thank you.

52. —no matter how many episodes it takes.

53. - Ah!

54. - Listen, I know Q has been in the top every single week,

55. and so it's like, oh, her moment.

56. Oh, my god.

57. She's having her moment.

58. It was my moment.

59. I did the fashion.

60. Q's runway looks like a fairy costume.

61. I'm sorry.

62. I just— I wanted to win.

63. - I'm kind of upset that I got beat by fucking

64. Buzz Lightyear over here.

65. - Oh, no!

66. - The gag.

67. - She said to liftoff.

68. - Not Buzz Lightyear.

69. - Damn.

70. Oh.

71. - That's good.

72. - Speaking of the scoreboard, guess what.

73. There is only one potion left in the game.

74. - Sapphira, how did that immunity

75. potion taste in your mouth?

76. - Disgusting.

77. I was in my own head, and so to sort of, like,

78. quiet the voices,

79. I did what I needed to do for me.

80. And you can't turn back.

81. But what it means is that I have to freaking

82. turn it every time.

83. I hope these girls are happy that they saw

84. a little crack in the shell.

85. But, baby, Sapphira is back,

86. and it's time for you to be scared.

87. - Ah. - Ooh, girl.

88. - At this point in the competition,

89. they're going to start weeding out the people who don't have

90. points on the scoreboard—

91. Morphine, Xunami, Dawn.

92. I didn't mention Megami.

93. I guess she has like a quarter win.

94. But if you don't have challenge wins at this point,

95. you in danger, girl.

96. You are in trouble.

97. - To infinity...

98. And beyond.

99. - Fuck that bitch. Where is she?

100. Megami.

101. - What?

102. - Fuck you.

103. The winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race" receives a one-year

104. supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics

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

106. served by Cash App with extra-special guest judge

107. Adam Shankman.

108. - Banana.

109. Whee!

110. - It's a new week in the Werk Room,

111. and I'm just excited to put some fire in my pussy

112. and slay a challenge.

113. I need a win, so I can rub it on their faces.

114. Oh, my god, you have braces.

115. - Um, yeah.

116. - Yes.

117. - She done already done had herses.

118. - Good morning, Mother.

119. - Good morning, Mother.

120. - My queens, to make it to the top,

121. America's next drag superstar needs to climb every mountain.

122. So la, ti, doe, she better do.

123. - People who will get the reference

124. will get the reference.

125. - Still don't get it.

126. - Yeah, I have no idea.

127. - Hello. Hello. Hello.

128. My queens— the color orange; Murder, She Sat Down,

129. and She Wrote; Whitney, when she sings;

130. these are a few of my favorite things.

131. And you know what else I love?

132. - What?

133. - A Drag Race Rusical.

134. For this week's Maxi challenge, you'll

135. be prancing, lip syncing, and acting up

136. a storm in "The Sound of Rusic."

137. - I am so excited about doing a rusical.

138. I love "The Sound of Music."

139. It's Julie Andrews' most iconic role maybe ever.

140. - I hate musical theater.

141. I think that the people who are fans of it are—

142. no, I can't say that.

143. Not my thing.

144. I'm so sorry.

145. - Girlfriends, I'll let you choose your own roles.

146. - Ooh.

147. - Now later today, you'll rehearse

148. with big-time Hollywood director Adam Shankman.

149. - Oh, my god. - Oh, my god.

150. - Adam Shankman is a pro.

151. He directed "Hairspray," the musical,

152. which is like so, so iconic.

153. - And to help with your Fraulein hairlines,

154. we've provided hair courtesy of Wigs and Grace.

155. - Wow.

156. - Now, I'll leave you with this question.

157. How do you solve a problem like my neck, my back, et cetera?

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

159. - "The Sound of Rusic."

160. Now, it's time for us to cast ourselves and

161. figure out who's going to be who.

162. Being cast in the right role, it is the make or break here.

163. - Not Anal Vice.

164. That's so funny.

165. - Right off the bat, it's got to be Mariah.

166. It's based on the Julie Andrews character.

167. It's like the reason the show has a heartbeat.

168. - The part of Mariah, I'm living for it.

169. And I'm just tired of being safe.

170. So I know from the get go, bitch, I need a lead role.

171. - So fun. - So fun.

172. - So fun.

173. - Let's get into it.

174. - Are those real?

175. - Dawn is Strudel.

176. - You look like a strudel.

177. - Shut the fuck up.

178. I have never done musical theater,

179. but I love acting silly, and this bitch is silly.

180. Strudel is silly.

181. - Mhi'ya is Sister Fister.

182. - You want Sister Fister?

183. - Yeah.

184. - I may not have music theater background,

185. but I know how to dance.

186. So give me my cute little medium-sized part,

187. and I will run with it.

188. - Diesl.

189. Nymph.

190. - The Baronets.

191. - Yeah.

192. - You know me and myself.

193. - I'm drawn to one of the bitchy baronets.

194. - They're both mean girls, and that's

195. who I've been wrongfully labeled

196. as in this competition.

197. - Let's eat.

198. - Period.

199. - It's absolutely fun to be a mean character.

200. What about the Baroness Bronn, our villain?

201. - I am very, very, very wanting the Baroness.

202. Baroness would be like my first choice.

203. I just want to be one of the main roles

204. since I haven't gotten a chance to really step out and show.

205. - My first pick is Baroness Bronn.

206. That is like my number one.

207. I mean, I'm very character driven, how I look

208. and my physicality and my acting.

209. And they said last time, my comedy timing

210. is really, really great.

211. Yeah, I just think it's within my range.

212. - This is a very dry sense of humor

213. that I also feel like I would be phenomenal at.

214. - Megami and I both want the Baroness role,

215. and I just don't see it for her.

216. I don't see the part fitting her demeanor at all.

217. Well, I mean, I think this is the one that I want,

218. and I think I would do the best in this role.

219. - Rock, paper, scissors for it.

220. - I think that would be the—

221. - Do you want to?

222. - That— I'm fine with that.

223. - Oh.

224. We're all clutching our pearls, who is going to win this rock,

225. paper, scissors battle?

226. - So rock paper, scissors, shoot.

227. - Yeah. All right.

228. Big money. Big money.

229. No whammies. - Yeah.

230. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

231. Ahh!

232. - Good for you.

233. All right, you get Baroness.

234. - Sorry, Megami.

235. Better luck next time.

236. - We have Mariah, Sister Fister, and Mother Superior.

237. - I mean, I would love to do Mother Superior, honestly.

238. - When hearing the track, Mother Superior

239. just screamed Sapphira.

240. - I'll just take Schnitzel.

241. - All right, whatever.

242. - I'm a star no matter where I'm at.

243. - I mean, I want to be Mariah.

244. My top choice was Mariah.

245. - Oh. - So do I.

246. - You want to be Mariah?

247. - It screamed for me, boots.

248. - And Morphine?

249. - I also was looking at Mariah.

250. - OK.

251. Well, that's unfortunate, because I want Mariah

252. too, bitch.

253. - I personally, if I'm going to put my two cents in,

254. I do see you as the lead.

255. I think Sapphira or Plasma could do it.

256. - My two cents for myself, since nobody sees me

257. as the lead, I feel like I haven't

258. gotten the opportunity to actually have a lead anything.

259. You have a win. You have a win.

260. I want a win.

261. - This feels very, very true to who I am and what I do.

262. I see myself as Mariah.

263. This is what I came here to do.

264. - My thing is, it spoke Sapphira to me.

265. - Can we just say really quickly,

266. I do not have another roll in my list.

267. - Girl, that doesn't mean you get Mariah though.

268. I'm sorry. - No no.

269. No.

270. Well, I felt like the last time we assigned roles,

271. I was shuffled around a little bit.

272. - And you won.

273. - I need to make sure that I'm not baby in a corner

274. this week.

275. I have Mariah.

276. End of list.

277. - She's putting her foot down.

278. - I hate to be the girl who's like, well,

279. I want to be the lead and nothing else,

280. but I want to be the lead and nothing else.

281. - Whatever.

282. I could drop Mariah, and if anything,

283. I might go for Sister Fister.

284. - You know what? I'll do Mother Superior.

285. - And I'll take Mariah.

286. - There you go.

287. - Oh, OK.

288. For once, I tried the Plane Jane

289. technique of being a bat-out-of-hell

290. bitch about it, and it worked.

291. Do I have burger fingers?

292. - Sapphira, thank you.

293. - Of course.

294. Turn it out.

295. The last queen that I fought with a role

296. with and gave it to her, she ended up going home.

297. I'm just saying.

298. - All right, "The Sound of Rusic."

299. Let's get this rusical a-cookin'.

300. - I am so excited.

301. "The Sound of Rusic" is obviously based

302. on "The Sound of Music."

303. I'm cast as Mariah, the lead.

304. How do you solve a problem like Mariah?

305. You don't, bitch.

306. You're stuck with me.

307. So this musical is sacred to me.

308. I grew up watching this movie.

309. This movie is important in my family.

310. It's important in my life.

311. Literally, in one of my high school graduation cards,

312. my grandparents wrote the lyrics

313. to "Climb Every Mountain," and it made me sob,

314. and I think about it to this day.

315. - Diva, I'm so happy for you.

316. Plasma won't shut up about how excited

317. she is for this challenge.

318. She's like, I'm Mariah. Blah-blah-blah-blah.

319. I love "Sound of Music."

320. I used to watch it as a kid. Blah-blah-blah-blah.

321. Love you, sis, but that's what you sound like.

322. - Has anyone else watched "The Sound of Music,"

323. grown up with "The Sound of Music"?

324. - No, I've never watched it.

325. - I watched it when I was younger.

326. I don't remember much about it.

327. - Work.

328. I don't want to count my chickens,

329. but I know that I have all the tools to take

330. this straight to the bank.

331. - We are the nuns.

332. I'm thinking our role is like the three girls in "Hairspray."

333. That's what I see us as, which means that we

334. have a lot of attitude.

335. - Words of wisdom from Mother.

336. Mother "Sapphir-ior."

337. - Listen, I've been mama-bearing these queens

338. all through the entire season, so Mother

339. Superior fits me like a habit.

340. - I hate that my parts are so short.

341. - But you have a lot of attitude,

342. so like what you have, because we're here.

343. - I'm kind of still a little bit pissed that Plasma just

344. got the lead role and I kind of wasn't even considered for it.

345. I know I'm gonna give it.

346. It's just annoying.

347. Next time, I'm just gonna be stern with what I want.

348. Bitch, I should have been Blac Chyna, honey.

349. - We couldn't help but overhear your little—

350. what's was that?

351. - I'm gonna have so much fun with this character.

352. - Yeah, me too.

353. - It's the mean girl.

354. - The Baroness is the villain in the rusical.

355. She runs her singing group, The Baronettes.

356. Xunami, Plane, and I are really feeling

357. our villain oats right now.

358. The role-choosing process was very interesting to me.

359. - Who do we feel like is a little bitter, bitter buddies.

360. - Clearly, that is Megami.

361. - Down.

362. Megami wanted bigger roles.

363. - She's worried about fading into the background.

364. - The background.

365. - It's just kind of like the same shtick over and over.

366. I'm going to be interested to see how she does.

367. Let's make a little trip around, shall we?

368. Solely because the roles that we have chosen

369. are those of the Mean Girls, Me, Q and Xunami decide

370. to stir up a little mischief.

371. Hee-hee-hee-hee.

372. Woo!

373. - Was that a little musical number y'all are doing?

374. - Are we doing a little music over here?

375. - This really does fit you guys a lot.

376. - Thank you.

377. I wish your role fit you.

378. - I'm having a lot of fun being a bitch to these bitches.

379. I want Plane Jane's wicked comedy

380. to definitely rub off on me.

381. - We believe in you, Sapphira.

382. Good luck, Morphine and Maya.

383. - Xunami is getting a little too

384. comfortable with this role.

385. It never used to be like that with me.

386. I'm her bestie.

387. What a bitch.

388. You're hanging around too much with Lil Plane Jane,

389. and I know she has a crush on Plane.

390. Oops.

391. Didn't mean to say that, but I said it.

392. - She really thought—

393. - She really thought you ate that.

394. - Oh, look who it is.

395. - Oh, ew.

396. - Corrupt, you nasty boys.

397. - How y'all feeling, evil bitches?

398. - I just wanted to be a bitch for once.

399. - For once? - For once?

400. - So Megami, I know you didn't get the roles that you were

401. vying for, which were bigger roles,

402. and this role is a little smaller and less noticeable.

403. - Ahh!

404. - I've already proven myself in the girl group challenge,

405. so I'm not worried about it.

406. - Now, Miss Plane, we're in three songs,

407. and you're in like half of one.

408. - But that's OK, because I own my presence,

409. so I'm not worried about me.

410. I'm worried about you.

411. - I don't think you need to worry about me, mama.

412. - Plane could teach a masterclass

413. on being a villainous twat, so I might

414. take a few tips from her.

415. - Well, we just came over to stir the pot.

416. - I think we're done here.

417. Bye.

418. - Bye, bitches.

419. - Do you want to go through our end song?

420. About the freak out in you, baby.

421. We have the finale song.

422. - Wait, should we go over our first song?

423. - We have three songs.

424. - Oh.

425. And I start to realize it's so much material.

426. Plane, do I have a moment with y'all's group in the script?

427. - Yeah, at page 17.

428. - Wait.

429. - They all get their moments in particular acts.

430. My moment is all of it, which is like—

431. woo.

432. Ooh.

433. Ahh!

434. The hills are alive, and they're the sound

435. of me practicing at the hotel.

436. - Bitches are shaking in their boots.

437. - I think Plasma could hit it out of the park,

438. but I think it also could be just so, so big.

439. I mean, that's the only role that Plasma wanted.

440. - She better eat it.

441. - All on her, girl.

442. - Being evil is kind of fun.

443. - Hey, ladies.

444. - Hello.

445. - I'm Adam.

446. Hi, Adam.

447. - Nice to meet you.

448. - So now comes the time where we get to rehearse our rusical

449. with Adam Shankman.

450. - We're gonna get into the choreography.

451. I'm kind of at a disadvantage right now,

452. because my assistant, she's actually running super late.

453. But hopefully, she'll get here while we're working.

454. OK, so are we ready to do a little bit of dancing?

455. Yes.

456. - I'm so excited.

457. I feel like I'm auditioning for a Broadway musical.

458. - This is for the opening number, 1, 2, 3, 4.

459. Walk, walk.

460. Adding arms.

461. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

462. Ball change onto here.

463. - Adam is working us out.

464. - Now, 1, 2, 3, 4.

465. - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

466. This is a lot off the bat.

467. - This is the story of three.

468. If you all can't stand like this, y'all should

469. get out of the business.

470. Drag queens, you know how to do this.

471. Oh, my assistant is here. - I'm sorry.

472. I'm sorry I'm late.

473. - Melissa McCarthy is in the building.

474. - Oh, my god. - Oh, my god.

475. - We all know we all need a side hustle, ladies.

476. - Bitch, that's Ursula.

477. - Molly of "Mike & Molly."

478. - Oh, dear.

479. - She's not great at this.

480. - What is going on?

481. - This is why I do not like hiring A-list movie stars

482. to be my assistant.

483. Guys, we gotta have focus, and we gotta keep moving on.

484. Let me just see from the very, very top with the music.

485. - From the top.

486. - Here we go.

487. Hit it.

488. - Uh, let's do that one more time.

489. Sapphira, remember, high in the swish— out front arms.

490. - Yes.

491. You expect me to now be learning choreography,

492. and Melissa McCarthy is sitting 10 feet away from me.

493. Baby, you gotta be out your mind.

494. - I need focus, guys.

495. - You're doing great.

496. - Focus. Focus.

497. Focus. Focus, ladies.

498. - Anybody want a Babybel?

499. - Cheese. Really?

500. - Back here.

501. Back here.

502. - I'm working.

503. - This is my favorite sporting event I've ever partaken in.

504. - How do we go from learning a choreo for a rusical

505. to cheese flying in the air being

506. thrown by Melissa McCarthy?

507. - We have a lot to do.

508. Everybody, just hold onto your cheese until we're done.

509. - I am going to have to pick up the dog soon.

510. All right, I'm going to go get the dogs.

511. I just want to say, if I can take one minute—

512. I just adore you all.

513. I adore what you do.

514. Drag is a big part of why I have a career.

515. I was going to drag shows when I shouldn't have been,

516. and it literally gave me the courage to get up on stage.

517. I started in drag.

518. I started in a big, old red wig called Miss Y.

519. So when I look at you fighting to carve out your space,

520. it makes me so proud.

521. And I just want to thank you for it and root for you.

522. And you're all gorgeous, ladies, and I just love you.

523. Just keep doing what you're doing.

524. It's not only wildly entertaining

525. and it brings joy; it's important.

526. And fight for it, because it's worth it.

527. - Listening to Melissa McCarthy talk about drag

528. and even getting a little choked

529. up talking to us about it, it just

530. makes me realize how significant

531. it is to even be here.

532. - And there's no small parts.

533. - It almost feels like she's talking

534. to me directly because I was really

535. mad about having a small part.

536. I was being a brat and a diva about it.

537. She read me the filth without reading me to filth.

538. Let me eat this cheese, because you're right.

539. - Thank you.

540. Thank you so much.

541. - Bye, ladies.

542. - OK, great.

543. We're going to move on.

544. - We've gotten some words of wisdom.

545. Now it's time to go do this damn thing.

546. - Let me look at the little Mariah piece here.

547. - From what I've seen of Adam's work,

548. he is looking for polish, precision, professionalism.

549. Oh, my god he's looking for P-words.

550. He's looking for Plasma.

551. - I can't reiterate enough how much

552. is riding on you on this one.

553. So in the opening—

554. - It's the hunchback for me.

555. - Yeah.

556. - Hunch that back, girl.

557. - Honey, Plasma is 24 years old, but has the scoliosis

558. of a 65-year-old.

559. - Let me see Mother Superior and the Bad Habits.

560. You guys are sort of the narrators of the piece,

561. and this is rooted in '60s kind of dancing.

562. So it's pony, pony, jerk, and jerk.

563. 5, 6, 7, 8.

564. 2, 3, 4—

565. - Oh, shit.

566. The choreography is not what I expected.

567. I was expecting just going with the flow.

568. - I'm assuming you chose these roles because you feel

569. like you can dance, right? - Yeah.

570. - What kind of dance?

571. - I usually do hip-hop.

572. I do kicks, flips, everything.

573. - This is straight-up musical theater.

574. This isn't everybody's comfort zone.

575. - I am concerned for Maya.

576. I know that she's the queen of flips,

577. but I don't see this nun doing any flips.

578. - I'm missing something.

579. - It's your feet, baby.

580. - Rooting for you though, sister.

581. Not my Jane impression.

582. Ew.

583. - OK, sit down.

584. Next group, Baroness and the Baronets.

585. - It's mostly about like, we're too lazy to actually have

586. to move, but when we move, we move great.

587. - It's Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard,"

588. where she's like, I'm ready for my close up, DeMille.

589. - And then bam, bam, hit, down.

590. OK, hit it.

591. - Q, the Baroness is the full woman experience,

592. and I'm getting just straight-up boy

593. from you right now.

594. Do you know what I mean?

595. I see a messy man.

596. - So once again, Q is Frankenstein up there

597. clomping along.

598. - How I'm feeling this is going to go is like Q's

599. gonna be lip-syncing again.

600. Maybe I should have just taken that role.

601. - You didn't look as confident just now.

602. - Yeah, I'm not getting the—

603. I'm not picking up the timing.

604. - You've got to find a way to get in there

605. and make sure that you look exactly

606. like each other physically.

607. - After all that shit talking, it's kind of fun

608. to look at, because I love watching

609. other people struggle.

610. - OK, moving on.

611. Let me see the Von Snaps.

612. So let me just show you your introduction stuff.

613. When the oom-pah-pahs come in, you guys go up

614. and you go down, just in terms of that.

615. So you're just going to do— you go up first.

616. Bump, bump, bump, bump.

617. Bump, bump, bump, bump. Bump, bump, bump.

618. Bump, bump, bump. You're already scared.

619. - Yeah.

620. - What's really important is that this all be very precise.

621. - Don't fuck that up.

622. - Miss Megami, can we do it a little better?

623. I don't know.

624. It's really easy, mama.

625. - Like, I'm pulling for you, but this is going to be hard.

626. - I'm slow on choreo, but when I get it, I get it.

627. - I'm not going to lie, a lot of work to do here.

628. - Girl, I'm here watching Megami

629. about to fall on her face.

630. I think she might need Plane Jane's immunity potion,

631. but I'm not sure if Plane is gonna give it to her.

632. - Oh, shit.

633. - We're going home.

634. - Today is the day where we debut "The Sound of Rusic."

635. And I feel like Joan Crawford.

636. I did my little witch hazel ice bath this morning,

637. and I'm ready to be a star, baby.

638. Sapphira, how do you feel?

639. - I feel great.

640. I just gotta be an old lady.

641. That's me every day.

642. - So you don't have immunity anymore though.

643. - Oh. - Oh.

644. - Oh, my god. - I don't care.

645. - That's right.

646. - I don't have a safety net, and I don't believe

647. that I'll be needing immunity.

648. I'm feeling like the superior Mother Sapphir-ior.

649. - Did you immediately gravitate towards that Baron Mia role?

650. - Oh, yeah.

651. - You heard the very clear man's voice,

652. and you said, that's me.

653. - Bitch, you got the squarest head in this room.

654. - I do.

655. - And you have the most facial hair

656. out of anybody in this room, so don't play with me.

657. After rehearsing all night, I feel

658. a lot better about the choreo.

659. My goal is to redeem myself from the Girl Group Challenge.

660. I want to show the judges that I can move and I can have fun.

661. - Do y'all have any background that would

662. aid you in this challenge?

663. - Yeah, I do have a dance background.

664. I was a ballroom dancer for nine years of my life,

665. I would say.

666. I started ballroom dance when I was about six or seven years

667. old, and I competed in competitions

668. across the U.S. and even abroad,

669. and I really enjoyed it.

670. But then I quit.

671. I quit ballroom dance because somebody in high school

672. told me that it was gay.

673. - Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

674. - I quit something that was actually very, very special

675. to me, because I didn't want to raise any eyebrows,

676. and it's probably one of my biggest regrets in life.

677. - So are you girlies, like, musical theater gays?

678. - No. - No.

679. - Growing up in New York, I remember when I was 17

680. and I went to go see "Hairspray" on Broadway.

681. And Edna was technically the first drag person that I ever

682. saw in front of me on stage.

683. I was like, um, this is amazing.

684. What is happening right now?

685. I did love meeting Adam.

686. "Hairspray" is literally my favorite musical of all time.

687. I saw the "Hairspray" movie in theaters

688. like five fucking times.

689. I have rehearsed, rehearsed, rehearsed my ass off.

690. I really want to impress Adam, because I

691. want him to cast me in "Hairspray 2:

692. Electric Boogaloo."

693. - I love your eye makeup today.

694. - Thank you, it's—

695. - That is shadiness.

696. That is playful.

697. - You've been working on this eye for a long time.

698. - She laid a layer of oatmeal down first before she—

699. - Bad makeup day?

700. - Bad makeup day.

701. - It's about the finished product,

702. it's not about the journey.

703. - You right.

704. Every time you put on your makeup,

705. I'll be like, what because this clown bitch doing?

706. - Oh, my gosh.

707. - And then she puts on the hair and lashes and the heels.

708. And I'd be like, what because this clown bitch doing?

709. - Welcome to the main stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

710. She's 16 going on 17, and that's just her shoe size.

711. Michelle Visage.

712. - Well, Ru, you know what they say

713. about a girl with big feet.

714. - No, what?

715. - Big bunions.

716. - And, Ross Matthews, how do you

717. hold a moonbeam in your hand?

718. - Oh, I just grab it and choke it.

719. - My moonbeam likes it rough.

720. - Welcome back, the fabulous Adam Shankman.

721. What are a few of your favorite things?

722. - They're all battery-powered.

723. - This week, we challenged our queens to steal the show

724. in "The Sound of Rusic."

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

726. - And now, the world premiere, "The Sound of Rusic."

727. - Our story opens at The Abby, a gay bar

728. high in the Swish Alps.

729. - And now, introducing our competitors.

730. Performing nightly at the Abby, its Mother

731. Superior and the Bad Habits.

732. - Ooh, girl.

733. - 1, 2, 3, 4.

734. - Headlining weekends at Salzburger Mary's, their music

735. really slaps.

736. They're the Family Von Snaps.

737. - Pine cone? - Yeah.

738. - And finally, from Club Anal Vice, the reigning

739. champions for the past 35 years—

740. they never break a sweat—

741. it's the Baroness Bronn and her Baronettes.

742. - Ah, that.

743. You expect us to sing for free?

744. Keep it moving.

745. - But there's a problem blowing in the wind for the Sisters

746. at the Abby, and they call the wind—

747. - Mariah.

748. Mariah. Mariah.

749. - Quiet girl.

750. We don't need to hear your life story.

751. - What makes you think you have what

752. it takes to be a Bad Habit?

753. - Because I can sing eight octaves,

754. and I look sickening in black.

755. Mm.

756. - Do I finally get to perform my solo tonight?

757. - Sisters, we were once young queens ourselves.

758. - And the Lord works in mysterious ways.

759. - So do serial killers.

760. - She's too much.

761. - You don't.

762. - Mother Superior, I have a confession.

763. - You know we're not actual nuns, right?

764. But let me guess, there's something you can't face.

765. - What'd you just call me?

766. I feel a calling, and I think it's my inner freak.

767. What should I do?

768. - My child, if there's one thing I know for sure,

769. you can't keep your freak in.

770. You can only let it out.

771. - But—

772. - Shh.

773. - But I—

774. - Ah.

775. - It's just that—

776. - Uh-uh.

777. - Well, that doesn't sound very inspiring.

778. - Hush, my child.

779. This is my solo.

780. - But I'm afraid I'll never find my tribe.

781. If only the Lord would send me a sign.

782. - Telegram.

783. - "Von Snap family."

784. Stop.

785. "Looking for a new lead singer."

786. Stop.

787. "Must love freaks and pine cones."

788. Stop.

789. - Don't stop.

790. Maybe the Von Snaps are my tribe.

791. No offense.

792. - Mariah, this is your sign.

793. - Uh, yeah.

794. - Yeah, I got it.

795. - Hello, hello, hello.

796. You must be the Von Snaps.

797. I'm your new lead singer, Mariah Grande.

798. Tell me about yourselves.

799. - Very farm to table.

800. - Oh, that's very personal.

801. And smelling my pine cones and dating my pine cones.

802. - Wow, that's very specific, but that's OK.

803. All we need is a little— um, flash, pizzazz, sparkle.

804. - Oh, so you want us to drag the shit up?

805. - Where should we start?

806. - How about at the very beginning?

807. - That's a very good place to start.

808. Hit it.

809. Hey, girls.

810. - We couldn't help but overhear your little—

811. was that a musical number?

812. It was cute.

813. - We're enemies, right?

814. So let us give you the tea.

815. - No one in the Swish Alps wants to hear whatever

816. freaky music you call that.

817. - You're all 16 going on nowhere.

818. - We're actually in our 20s.

819. - So in conclusion, you should break up.

820. - You can't stop us.

821. - Oh, yes, we can.

822. We stole this thing from your car.

823. So good luck getting to the Salzburg Rusic Music

824. Singing Competition Festival.

825. - And Tournament.

826. - We'll never make it to the competition now.

827. - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

828. - OK.

829. Give it up for Mother Superior and the Bad Habits.

830. Thank you, ladies.

831. And now, it's time for Mariah and the Von

832. Snap Family Singers.

833. I said, Mariah and the Family Von Snap.

834. Looks like they're a no-show.

835. I guess that means next up is everybody's

836. favorite nationalist and reigning

837. champions, the Baroness Bronn and her Baronettes.

838. - It is my privilege to be with you here this evening.

839. - Is she saying right or white?

840. - Get your freaking feet off the stage.

841. - I love it.

842. - Ah, that's a good one too.

843. - My favorite!

844. - For the 36th year in a row, the winner of the Salzburg

845. Rusic Music Singing Competition Festival

846. Tournament Hair Show and Swap Meet is the Baroness—

847. - Wait.

848. - How did you get here?

849. - It's literally a five-minute walk.

850. You may have stolen our spark plugs,

851. but you couldn't steal our sparkles.

852. - Actually, we stole your distributor cap.

853. - But your wordplay is adorable.

854. - All that matters is that we're here now,

855. and we want to let our freak out.

856. - That sounds vile.

857. - Maybe to you, but one group doesn't get to dictate

858. what's right for everybody.

859. We have a right to sing our own music in our own style.

860. Hit it.

861. - Diesl!

862. - What?

863. That's my narrative.

864. - And the winner is Mariah and the Von Snaps.

865. - Yay!

866. - So if someone wanted to let out her inner freak,

867. how would she do it?

868. Asking for a friend.

869. - Come on, it's fun.

870. Smell my pine cone.

871. - Mm, I'm not there yet.

872. - And what have we learned from all this?

873. - Category is, I Could Buy Myself Flowers.

874. Up first, Plasma.

875. Don't rain on my parade.

876. - So my favorite movie musicals of all time are

877. "My Fair Lady" and— you guessed it— "Funny Girl."

878. And of course in "Funny Girl" she gets a blue marble egg

879. and yellow roses.

880. So I'm decked in yellow roses.

881. How do you do?

882. - She's also known as the Yellow Rose of Sylmar.

883. - Sapphira Cristál.

884. - Ooh, wow. - Ooh.

885. - Y'all, this bitch is pollinated.

886. - This is my fantasy drag.

887. Big, huge petals as wings.

888. I'm such a big flower, I can barely fit on the runway,

889. and that is Sapphira Cristál.

890. She cannot be contained.

891. - You down with FTD?

892. - Yeah, you know me.

893. - Morphine.

894. - Is it just me, or does that outfit

895. make her look a little hippie?

896. - My runway look is flower child Miami girl

897. who went back in time to the 1970s, went to Woodstock,

898. and is just happy to be there.

899. And oop, there's something in my tongue.

900. Oh, the good, old days.

901. - Oh, she's seeing trails.

902. - You know where she lives?

903. - Where?

904. - On the corner of Assbury and Hate.

905. - Maya.

906. - She's Pearl Bailey, in the musical version

907. of "Citizen Kane."

908. - That's exactly what I was thinking.

909. - It's called Rosebud.

910. - This look is 100% representing

911. Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige.

912. I chose to be a rose, full of stones, glitz, and glamour.

913. - You heard of the book "Flowers in the Attic"?

914. - Uh-huh.

915. - Well, this is "Flowers in the Asshole."

916. Dawn.

917. I hear the new season of "The Bachelorette" is twisted.

918. - This runway is Ghoul-Dawn.

919. She is a forlorn lover.

920. She's been dead for years, and she's kind of pissed about it.

921. Inspired by dead flowers on gravestones,

922. and I'm really sad, but gorgeous.

923. - Every Rose has its horn.

924. - That's true.

925. - Megami.

926. - Oh, my god, my beautiful wedding dress is stained.

927. - And from the Wisteria Lane Lingerie Collection.

928. - It's my wedding day, so I'm giving you a sexy and chic

929. and maybe a little bit of campy bride.

930. Honey, I'm getting deflowered.

931. - Tonight's the night.

932. - Nymphia.

933. - Isn't she a sight for sore "cact-eyes."

934. Oh, guys, she's a grower, not a shower.

935. - Yeah.

936. - This look is very Nymphia because it's

937. very camp and very unexpected and well made, of course.

938. How could I miss that part?

939. - Actually, she woke up like this.

940. It's a duvet.

941. - It's cute.

942. - I loathe hydrangeas.

943. - I'm serving lotus mantis, more creature-esque

944. with the very long arms.

945. Lurching down this runway, every detail on this outfit

946. is thought out.

947. I'm always going to surprise you.

948. - She's giving alien glitter, table centerpiece hooker.

949. - At least someone is getting laid.

950. - Plane Jane.

951. - Kids, you can lead a whore to culture.

952. - I'm giving you Rapunzel, and I'm pulling my hair.

953. And on the very tail end, my beautiful prince.

954. This look is a little bit different for me,

955. but I'm still giving you that element

956. of camp that you've come to know,

957. love, and expect from me.

958. - Have you met her new boyfriend?

959. - No.

960. - He's just a doll.

961. - Xunami.

962. Xunami is starring in the new production

963. of "Little Shop of Whores."

964. - Yeah.

965. What I'm giving today on the runway

966. is an upside-down bouquet.

967. I have my cellophane stall around me.

968. The bodice are the stems, and the ruffles are the flowers,

969. so the ruffles in motion are fully bringing

970. the whole fantasy alive.

971. - You know her favorite author?

972. - No.

973. Who?

974. - Judy "Bloom."

975. - You are silly.

976. - Welcome, queens.

977. I've made some decisions.

978. But first, one immunity potion is still in circulation.

979. Plane Jane, do you wish to use it this week?

980. - I'm not thirsty, mama.

981. - I'll be the judge of that.

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

983. Dawn.

984. Nymphia Wind.

985. Plane Jane.

986. Xunami Muse.

987. Good job this week, ladies.

988. You are all safe.

989. You may leave the stage.

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

991. Up first, Plasma.

992. - This look tonight, this is beautiful.

993. Though very Dolly Levi, it's you.

994. - It is gorgeous.

995. - Let's talk about the rusical.

996. Taking the main role is always a risk.

997. It could have been do, ray, meh,

998. but it was do, ray, major.

999. You had so many nuances that makes the theater the theatre.

1000. There were no crumbs left.

1001. - The amount of dialogue you just had to learn to lip sync,

1002. you had to do the most dancing, and you never wavered,

1003. you should be incredibly proud.

1004. - You were fantastic.

1005. I mean, just the energy, you were in it.

1006. - Thank you so much.

1007. - All right, let's move on to Sapphira.

1008. - This is a masterpiece.

1009. It's very carnival, but it's just so beautiful.

1010. Where Plasma excelled as the leading actress,

1011. you soared as the supporting actress.

1012. Bitch stole the show in a supporting role.

1013. You gave me what I wanted from you, complete with old-school,

1014. drag queen lip quivers.

1015. - It was all the extras that you brought to the character,

1016. the timing with the "shh."

1017. You know, the extras is what made it sing.

1018. - And you made it feel effortless.

1019. - Adam, I— mm, I felt comfortable in your hands.

1020. I felt like I wanted to please you.

1021. - So far, everything needs to be

1022. cut from what you're saying.

1023. - Up next, Morphine.

1024. - I love that you did a flower power, sort of hippie moment.

1025. And the fact that you stoned this outfit brings it to drag.

1026. - I think the sleeves are great,

1027. but I don't like that they're not lined.

1028. I can see so much of the back of the fabric.

1029. But that wig, girl, is gorgeous.

1030. That headpiece, I loved.

1031. - In the production, what I loved

1032. about you was your energy.

1033. You had the moves and the lyrics,

1034. and you were performing.

1035. But there was just something more you could have brought.

1036. - You had your moments.

1037. I just want you to feel the confidence to bump

1038. it up a little bit extra.

1039. - Up next, Maya.

1040. - This look tonight, Maya, you just look beautiful.

1041. I like this bang on you.

1042. It's a little long, but the look,

1043. in general, is so pretty.

1044. - That's the first time Michelle

1045. didn't like a long bang.

1046. - And tonight, you never failed,

1047. but you succeeded in some ways that

1048. were very, very remarkable and then less so in other places.

1049. Like, you were in your head.

1050. - Clearly, you could dance.

1051. The issue is I could see the work and the steps

1052. and the counting.

1053. If your face isn't projecting joy,

1054. it kind of pulls you out of it.

1055. - And I was losing where your face was meant to be going.

1056. I'm not sure you knew where to be looking.

1057. At one point, your veil was over your head.

1058. - I've seen you get out here in these lip syncs,

1059. and you just work it, and you are in it.

1060. We needed that same thing tonight in the rusical.

1061. All right, up next, Megami.

1062. - I really like this look.

1063. I think it's really fun, and I think you look really pretty.

1064. - I'm a bride who discovers, like, oh, my god,

1065. my dress is stained.

1066. What am I going to do?

1067. Grab the floral arrangements and just make it work.

1068. - Mm.

1069. We needed that longer, I think.

1070. - I would have kept walking down the runway with it

1071. and then thrown it off down here in front.

1072. - You got to be Schnitzel.

1073. I feel like I get one look.

1074. And I'm not talking about your drag.

1075. I'm talking about your face.

1076. It's the same point of view all the time.

1077. So if you're doing a different character like you were

1078. this time, it shouldn't be the same

1079. as your down-and-out fairy or Statue of Liberty.

1080. Even tonight in this, it's the same face, same delivery.

1081. I want you to let the drag deliver the personality.

1082. - It did make me laugh in the musical.

1083. When you delivered the line about your schnitzel

1084. being hairy, that was funny.

1085. - I felt like when it was time for Megami to be funny,

1086. she was funny.

1087. And then she'd step back, and suddenly,

1088. then, she was just Megami.

1089. - All right.

1090. Up next, it's Q.

1091. - In the challenge, perfection.

1092. Oh, it was so funny, and with a giant stole,

1093. you pretty much stole the show.

1094. - You're a handful.

1095. - We know that dancing is not your thing.

1096. - No. - But you pulled it off.

1097. The choreography, the movement, it all worked.

1098. - Wait. What choreo?

1099. Like, she walked back and forth with a fucking rug.

1100. Any of us could have done that.

1101. - That was pretty MVP stuff that you did.

1102. That beat, that full Amanda Lepore that you went,

1103. God love you.

1104. You're A plus, plus, plus, plus.

1105. - And I absolutely love this look, because it's like,

1106. oh, bitch, you're going to challenge me

1107. for a flower runway?

1108. Well, guess what.

1109. I brought the whole mother fucking garden.

1110. I think your real strength is subtlety.

1111. - Thank you, ladies.

1112. I think we've heard enough.

1113. While you relax in the Untucked lounge,

1114. the judges and I will deliberate.

1115. All right, just between us, squirrel friends,

1116. I want to know what you think.

1117. Let's start with Plasma.

1118. - That, tonight, was a Broadway audition.

1119. And guess what.

1120. She got the gig.

1121. - Fantastic.

1122. Couldn't take my eyes off of her.

1123. Let's move on down to Sapphira.

1124. - Can we talk about that runway moment?

1125. Oh, my god, that broke "Drag Race" for a second.

1126. - Yeah, that runway was Georgia O'Queef down.

1127. - Mother Superior, indeed.

1128. She was absolutely superior.

1129. - All right, let's move on down to Morphine.

1130. - She did a good job tonight.

1131. I just felt like she could have given more of a character.

1132. - She didn't know exactly where she fit into the puzzle

1133. all the time.

1134. - All right, let's move on down to Maya.

1135. - Where Morphine lacked a bit of a character,

1136. Maya had no character, so that was my problem with her.

1137. - It's been a reoccurring theme.

1138. She is so timid, so reserved for this nun,

1139. it's becoming a habit.

1140. - Oh, my god.

1141. - All right, let's talk about Megami.

1142. - I will say, Michelle, I get what you're saying about it

1143. being a bit repetitive with what she's

1144. bringing in these challenges.

1145. But I laughed when she delivered the big line

1146. about hairy schnitzel.

1147. - But again, all of her attention

1148. is going into the stuff that she finds appealing,

1149. and then the other stuff, she's just not paying attention to.

1150. Every moment of being on this show

1151. is being like waiting in the wings off camera in character.

1152. - That's right.

1153. - You have to always be prepared to pounce.

1154. - All right, let's talk about Q.

1155. - In the rusical, she was hilarious, polished,

1156. committed, and flawless.

1157. - I thought that the Baroness and the Baronets

1158. were some of the showstopping highlight-y things for me.

1159. And Q was the leader of that pack.

1160. - That's how you do it.

1161. In fact, all of the Baronets were fantastic.

1162. - If you just zoom in on her face

1163. as the character in the rusical,

1164. and then into her pink makeup on the runway,

1165. that's the same human being.

1166. - Yeah, that's wild. - That's a verse.

1167. She's verse.

1168. I'm telling you.

1169. - She did something completely different,

1170. but impeccably done.

1171. So therefore—

1172. - Silence.

1173. I've made my decision.

1174. Bring back my goyles.

1175. Welcome back, queens.

1176. I've made some decisions.

1177. Plasma, as Mariah, you had confidence, and it showed.

1178. Sapphira, as Mother Superior, you were superior.

1179. Q, as the Baroness, you could do no wrong.

1180. Plasma, condragulations, you're the winner

1181. of this week's challenge.

1182. You've won a cash prize, $5,000.

1183. - Thank you so much.

1184. I've been telling y'all that this was my challenge.

1185. - You three may join the other girls.

1186. - Thank you. - Thank you.

1187. - And I think I deserve this win.

1188. - Morphine, the judges enjoyed your flower,

1189. child, but your sister act needed a divine intervention.

1190. Maya, your runway was rosy, but the judges

1191. were none too pleased.

1192. Megami, your runway was blooming fabulous,

1193. but as a Von Snap, you needed more crackle and pop.

1194. Morphine, you are safe.

1195. You may join the other girls.

1196. - Thank you.

1197. - That means Maya and Megami, I'm sorry, my dears,

1198. but you are both up for elimination.

1199. - It's 100% game on, because I have to send this bitch home.

1200. - Two queens stand before me.

1201. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save

1202. yourself from elimination.

1203. The time has come for you to lip sync

1204. for your life.

1205. - Maya is known for her flips and tricks,

1206. and this is not a dance-y song.

1207. Everything is down to this one moment,

1208. and I need to get the emotion and sell it to the judges.

1209. - Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

1210. - So Megami seems to think she has this in the bag.

1211. But, Megami, just get out of my way,

1212. and just let me own this stage.

1213. No flips involved.

1214. - Megami is taking off her shoes?

1215. - Cardinal sin, diva.

1216. - But the shoes come off, and the church comes out.

1217. - You better pay with slide.

1218. - Wow.

1219. - Queens, I've made my decision.

1220. Maya, shantay, you stay.

1221. You may join the other girls.

1222. - Thank you.

1223. - Megami, my queen, from the BK to the USA

1224. and beyond, now, sashay away.

1225. - Thank you.

1226. I'm so happy I got to experience this.

1227. Have fun with all these idiots here.

1228. I love them so much.

1229. Thank you.

1230. - Megami, love you.

1231. - We love you, Megami.

1232. - Everyone watching, support local drag

1233. and protect queer art.

1234. Thank you.

1235. - Yes!

1236. - Didn't expect to be leaving so soon,

1237. and I felt like I won that lip sync.

1238. I felt like I put my heart and my soul into that song.

1239. But I just hope that I

1240. made the people in my life proud,

1241. and I think I did a good job.

1242. - Condragulations, queens.

1243. And remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell

1244. you gonna love somebody else?

1245. Can I get an amen up in here?

1246. Amen!

1247. - All right.

1248. Now, let the music play.

1249. - Next time on "RuPaul's Drag Race"...

1250. we are playing the Snatch Game.

1251. - You are a very ugly man.

1252. - Ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa.

1253. - I'm blown away by your artistry.

1254. It just literally was no character and just talking.

1255. - I'm upset that you got the role,

1256. because I could have done that shit too.

1257. - If the tension wasn't already high, mama, it's sky high.
