some writingCopy !req
156. and figuring out how
we're gonna sell ourselvesCopy !req
157. to the Vegas show
and the judges' panel.Copy !req
158. And, you know,
I love selling myself.Copy !req
159. You can find me on
pretty much any cornerCopy !req
160. from here to St. Clair County.Copy !req
161. - What's the angle you're
shooting for with this?Copy !req
162. - I'm gonna be myself.Copy !req
163. A shady country, fabulous diva.Copy !req
164. I immediately know what
direction I want to go.Copy !req
165. It seems like the judges likeCopy !req
166. when I lean into
this country thing,Copy !req
167. that I'm from the middle
of nowhere and, you know,Copy !req
168. wanted to become somebody
one day.Copy !req
169. - I put the cunt in country.
- My God.Copy !req
170. Write that down, Samantha.
Write it down now.Copy !req
171. I think that Sam is just
running this old country themeCopy !req
172. into the ground, honey,Copy !req
173. but this is the game.Copy !req
174. Sister fish, I love you so much,Copy !req
175. but I'm not going to tell youCopy !req
176. that I don't think
this is the best idea.Copy !req
177. - What about you, Onya?
- I don't know.Copy !req
178. I'm thinking about all of
the different one-woman showsCopy !req
179. that I've seen,
like Whoopi GoldbergCopy !req
180. and, like, Viola Davis
and bringing a lot of nerve.Copy !req
181. - A lot of nerve.
- A lot of nerve.Copy !req
182. Being in the bottom
last week definitelyCopy !req
183. put a fire under my buttCopy !req
184. because these girls
are talented,Copy !req
185. and so you got to keep focused.Copy !req
186. You got to keep your eye
on the end prize,Copy !req
187. and I came to play.
This is Vegas, baby.Copy !req
188. What about you?Copy !req
189. - I feel like I want to go in
a very anything goes direction,Copy !req
190. like a sailor kind of theme.Copy !req
191. Because my...
my unique perspectiveCopy !req
192. here, especially
among this five,Copy !req
193. is, like, the tap dance,
the vintage, the glamour.Copy !req
194. - Broadway.
- Broadway.Copy !req
195. - Broadway, baby.Copy !req
196. - Broadway and Vegas.Copy !req
197. - Listen, I ain't gonna say
nothing because I'm tryingCopy !req
198. to make it to the finale.
But, Suzie,Copy !req
199. I see that she is bringing this
flapper girl and tap dancingCopy !req
200. thing to everything she doing,
and this is Vegas.Copy !req
201. This is not Broadway.Copy !req
202. - You're finally gonna tap
for us, Suzie.Copy !req
203. - Finally, thank God.
- Finally, goddamn.Copy !req
204. It just took 14 episodes
to get you to tap again.Copy !req
205. Of course, the girls are
like, "look at her go.Copy !req
206. She's doing her
do-do-do-do thing,"Copy !req
207. which is the reaction I've
gotten from them all season,Copy !req
208. the season that
I've been dominating.Copy !req
209. So it seems like a good thing
that I'm beingCopy !req
210. made fun of for my ideas.Copy !req
211. Anything goes, baby.
- Honey, anything goes.Copy !req
212. - Hi, guys.

225. OK, we're stoned.
We're feathered.Copy !req
226. My wig is plucked.
My dick is tucked.Copy !req
227. - Look at the angles.Copy !req
228. You're gonna cut somebody
with those cheekbones.Copy !req
229. - If there's one thing
I'm gonna do,Copy !req
230. it's steal the spotlight.Copy !req
231. - Can you open
your mouth at all?Copy !req
232. Yeah, and smile like that.Copy !req
233. Yes!Copy !req
234. - Gorge.Copy !req
235. Yes, that's it!
That's it!Copy !req
236. Right there!Copy !req
237. - For the supermodel
of the worldCopy !req
238. to make me feel like

240. is just the biggest compliment
of life.Copy !req

253. - This is one of those
water showsCopy !req
254. in Las Vegas, isn't it?Copy !req
255. Come and see us.Copy !req
256. - It is such an honor
to model for RuPaul.Copy !req
257. We're having a good time.
- Ooh, bitch.Copy !req
258. - I'm just trying to make
as much eye contactCopy !req
259. with Ru as possible so she knowsCopy !req
260. I deserve to be in that finale.Copy !req
261. - Yes!
- I love it!Copy !req
262. I always find a 3/4Copy !req
263. is the most flatteringCopy !req
264. to a head and shoulders shot,
you know?Copy !req
265. It gets depth and angles
to the face.Copy !req
266. Now connect with that camera.
Yes.Copy !req
267. Make sure that
the shape you makeCopy !req
268. makes sense to the camera.Copy !req
269. - Got it, got it.
- You know what I mean?Copy !req

271. I like photo shoots,
but I'm always concernedCopy !req
272. of how I look and
how it translates on camera.Copy !req
273. - Give them a little Ms. Ross.
Come to my show.Copy !req

313. but I'm staying focused, honey.Copy !req

I'm trying to do that.Copy !req
369. - Some teeth, Albert.Copy !req
370. It doesn't have to be a smile.Copy !req

416. but as I came out
and found drag,Copy !req
417. I've just realized
that I was born to do this.Copy !req
418. I have every reason
to be confident,Copy !req
419. and those people were
just jealous all along.Copy !req
420. - 100%.
- You know what I mean?Copy !req
421. - Yeah.Copy !req
422. Now what's your worst quality?Copy !req
423. - My worst quality is
probably my shadiness.Copy !req
424. - She's shady.
- Yeah, she's shady.Copy !req
425. I'm the villain
and also America's sweetheartCopy !req
426. combined into one.Copy !req
427. Not everyone always
looks fabulous,Copy !req
428. and if I didn't care,
I would just let youCopy !req
429. walk out there looking crazy,
but instead, I tell them,Copy !req
430. and that's the way
I show my love.Copy !req
431. - As a sister.Copy !req
432. - As a Southern Christian woman,Copy !req
433. burn that dress, girl.Copy !req
434. - Now, looking back
on this season,Copy !req
435. what would you have
done differently?Copy !req
436. - I think I would have
started off the competitionCopy !req
437. just being myself.Copy !req
438. I came into this thinking
I knew everything about drag.Copy !req
439. I'm a pageant girl.Copy !req
440. They wanted to see who was
behind this perfect personaCopy !req
441. that I've created.Copy !req
442. - That's it.Copy !req
443. As a Southern Christian,
would you like to singCopy !req
444. a little "Jesus Is a Biscuit"
with me?Copy !req
445. - I would love to.Copy !req
446. You got vocals too?Copy !req
447. - I won the Rusical, Latrice.
- What?Copy !req
448. - Yes, girl, I gave them
my Cher impersonation.Copy !req
449. - Do "Jesus Is a Biscuit"
as Cher.Copy !req
450. - I got you.Copy !req
451. I love Jesus.Copy !req
452. Baby, that's a star.
- Thank you.Copy !req
453. It was so nice to meet you.
- Mwah.Copy !req
454. She's young, but she's got
the old-school ways,Copy !req
455. which is... That's what we want.Copy !req
456. Onya Nurve.
- Hey, Latrice.Copy !req
457. - So I'm gonna ask you
a few questions.Copy !req
458. - Shoot.
- All right.Copy !req
459. Was there ever a moment
during the competitionCopy !req
460. that you wanted to give up?Copy !req
461. - You know what?Copy !req
462. It was week one...
- Really?Copy !req
463. - In the competition.
- Talk about it.Copy !req
464. - You know, I've only been
doing drag three years,Copy !req
465. and outside of this,
drag isn't my full-time job.Copy !req
466. I'm a full-time cook
out of this.Copy !req
467. - So coming in here...
- Wait, wait.Copy !req
468. You can cook?Copy !req
469. - Yeah, baby.
- You get down?Copy !req
470. - You like burgers?
- I do like burgers.Copy !req
471. - Well, I'm a smash burger
aficionado.Copy !req
472. Really?Copy !req
473. - OK, tell me about you
giving up now.Copy !req
474. - You know, I wear
my heart on my sleeve.Copy !req
475. So it's easy to tell
when I'm having a good timeCopy !req
476. or a bad time or if
I'm frustrated or angry,Copy !req
477. and sometimes I don't
rub people the right way,Copy !req
478. so when I got here, this was
just a whole new world for me.Copy !req
479. - The thing that could prevent
Onya from getting the jobCopy !req
480. is being in her head too much.Copy !req
481. You need to be a joy.
You need to want to be there.Copy !req
482. Because I don't want
to be around peopleCopy !req
483. that are miserable.Copy !req
484. - It took a lot of me
getting out of my own way,Copy !req
485. and I had to be like,
"Girl, you got to stopCopy !req
486. alienating yourself.Copy !req
487. "You got to stop sitting
over there in the cornerCopy !req
488. and really engage."Copy !req
489. - I mean, "Drag Race"
in itself is, you know,Copy !req
490. we're a bit of a sorority.
- Yeah.Copy !req
491. - And so it's important
to have great camaraderie,Copy !req
492. a great sisterhood,
especially in VegasCopy !req
493. where the machine is moving
full speed ahead.Copy !req
494. You have to be quick
and treat everybodyCopy !req
495. with respect and kindness.
- Yeah.Copy !req
496. I knew coming in here,
I was gonna have a issue,Copy !req
497. like, vibing with
certain queens,Copy !req
498. and I just wasn't sureCopy !req
499. if I was gonna be able
to handle it.Copy !req
500. Fast forward to now,
I feel like I've broken downCopy !req
501. those barriers,
and I've built upCopy !req
502. the drag callouses to handle
anything that's coming my way.Copy !req
503. - Hopefully we'll see you
in Vegas, baby.Copy !req
504. - Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
505. - Suzie Toot.Copy !req
506. Well, first of all,
we know each other.Copy !req
507. - Absolutely.
- You home team.Copy !req
508. - Home team, baby,
Fort Lauderdale.Copy !req
509. - That's what I'm saying.
I'm so glad to see you here.Copy !req
510. - I am the first girl
since LatriceCopy !req
511. to be on "Drag Race"
from Fort Lauderdale.Copy !req
512. It's really cool to get
to share this moment.Copy !req
513. - Tell me,
what is your worst quality?Copy !req
514. - I'm very unique.Copy !req
515. I'm very unlike
the typical drag queen.Copy !req
516. The things that are expected
of a drag queen of,Copy !req
517. like, the perfect hair line
and the snatch.Copy !req
518. That stuff, they need
a little zhuzhing.Copy !req
519. - OK.Copy !req
520. - But all in all,
I'm kind of the whole package.Copy !req
521. - You're a total package.Copy !req
522. Looking back on the season,Copy !req
523. what would you
have done differently?Copy !req
524. - I was so excited
about Snatch Game.Copy !req
525. I had, in my mind,
the perfect character.Copy !req
526. I thought RuPaul would lose
her mind laughing at it,Copy !req
527. and then it just
didn't go that way.Copy !req
528. And I learned that
I can be a little niche,Copy !req
529. and it's OK to allowCopy !req
530. a wider audience to laugh.Copy !req
531. - Now, do you think
all of your competitorsCopy !req
532. are ready for
the Las Vegas stage?Copy !req
533. - I think every single
one of the girlsCopy !req
534. that are here are
fierce performersCopy !req
535. and incredible entertainers.Copy !req
536. - OK, I don't want the bullshit.Copy !req
537. We're not at the pag.
- That is true.Copy !req
538. - You're trying
to get a gig here.Copy !req
539. You got to beat
these other girls out.Copy !req
540. You better throw some bitches
under the busCopy !req
541. or leave them at the bus stop.Copy !req
542. - Some of the girls here,
they do drag queen very well,Copy !req
543. but a lot of people
do drag queen very well,Copy !req
544. and I do Suzie Toot
like nobody's business.Copy !req
545. - Not to toot your own horn.Copy !req
546. - Not to toot my own horn
or anything, but beep, beep.Copy !req
547. - But beep, beep.Copy !req
548. - They could never put
a girl after me.Copy !req
549. - Because nobody
want to follow that.Copy !req
550. - Exactly.Copy !req
551. - Lexi Love.
- Latrice Royale.Copy !req
552. - My God,
you are stunning, queen.Copy !req
553. - We got trans pride, and
we got the gay pride, baby.Copy !req
554. - My word.
- Repping for them all.Copy !req
555. - Fabulous.
- Thank you, Latrice.Copy !req
556. - Well, tell me
your worst quality.Copy !req
557. My God.Copy !req
558. My worst quality
is I'm a crybaby.Copy !req
559. - No.
- Yes.Copy !req
560. Estrogen is running through me.Copy !req
561. - That's what it is.
- Vibrantly.Copy !req
562. - Them 'mones, girl.Copy !req
563. - It's allowed me to be
in tune with my feelings.Copy !req
564. I feel like
before I transitioned,Copy !req
565. I was a very,
dare I say it, angry boy.Copy !req
566. And now I am a happy,
vibrant, emotional woman.Copy !req
567. - Now, what trials and
tribulations in your lifeCopy !req
568. have prepared you for this gig?Copy !req
569. Latrice,
how much time do you have?Copy !req
570. I was a homeless drug addict.Copy !req
571. So I am, like RuPaul said,
a survivor.Copy !req
572. I've been...
I've survived throughCopy !req
573. a human trafficking incident.Copy !req
574. I was at a hotel party
with friends.Copy !req
575. We were all under the influence
of a lot of substances.Copy !req
576. They asked me if I wanted
to take my friends homeCopy !req
577. and come back alone,Copy !req
578. and young and dumb me, I did,
and I came back.Copy !req
579. They gave me some stuff.Copy !req
580. I woke up handcuffed to a bed
and stayed there for 48 hours.Copy !req
581. I'm sorry.Copy !req
582. Those moments make me feel
like I just want thisCopy !req
583. to be a long-term journey,
honey.Copy !req
584. I've survived through
so many fucked thingsCopy !req
585. in life that I'm prepared
for anything you throw at me.Copy !req
586. Now, I might cry, but
I am prepared to handle it.Copy !req
587. - Life experience is
the best teacher in the world,Copy !req
588. and sometimes what we go
through and experience in life,Copy !req
589. while we're in it,
we're not feelingCopy !req
590. like it's doing us a service,
but look at you.Copy !req
591. The strength, the perseverance.Copy !req
592. What happens
when you put pressure?Copy !req
593. - Girl.
- Diamonds, baby.Copy !req
594. - Diamonds.Copy !req
595. - Diamonds, darling.Copy !req
596. Jewels Sparkle.Copy !req
597. - Hi, Latrice!Copy !req
598. - Was there ever a moment
during the competitionCopy !req
599. that you wanted to
throw in the towelCopy !req
600. and just say, "Girl, I can't
do this no more, let me go"?Copy !req
601. - Ooh.Copy !req
602. Yes, when Arrietty done
stole my jokes.Copy !req
603. - No, what had happened?Copy !req
604. - For the roast, the girl
who went right before meCopy !req
605. stole half of my jokes,Copy !req
606. and I found out as I was
sitting waiting to go on.Copy !req
607. In that moment,
I really was like, "Girl,Copy !req
608. I feel like I'm done."Copy !req
609. To be fair, they didn't laugh
at the jokesCopy !req
610. that I wrote when she said them.Copy !req
611. Now, where is the girl
that stole your joke?Copy !req
612. Did I talk to her?
- She went home.Copy !req
613. I sent her home that day.Copy !req
614. Karma is a bitch, isn't it?Copy !req
615. - Hello.
- She works fast here.Copy !req
616. Do you feel ready
to headline in Vegas?Copy !req
617. - When the ferocity index
is high,Copy !req
618. she should be on Vegas.
- OK.Copy !req
619. - And the ferocity index
is high with this one.Copy !req
620. - This is what
I'm talking about.Copy !req
621. - I want to combine
the worlds of burlesqueCopy !req
622. and high-energy dance, OK?Copy !req
623. So where burlesque is usually
very poised, very ballerina,Copy !req
624. I want to combine that
with beingCopy !req
625. able to buck the house down.Copy !req
626. So I want to tear it off
and tear it down.Copy !req
627. - All right,
we're getting somewhere now.Copy !req
628. Ding.Copy !req
629. Where do you see yourself
in five years?Copy !req
630. - Crickets, bitch.Copy !req
631. OK.Copy !req
632. Now I stumped you.Copy !req
633. You stumped me.Copy !req
634. - This is good because
I want you to think about this.Copy !req
635. There is nothing stopping you
from doing and being whateverCopy !req
636. it is that you want to do,
but you have to have a plan.Copy !req
637. Drag queen, know thyself.Copy !req
638. - And thinking that far
in advance is kind of scary.Copy !req
639. - It is scary.Copy !req
640. - Because for so long,
this was the goal.Copy !req
641. You know what I mean?
- Now you're here.Copy !req
642. - So now I got to think of
the next big thing,Copy !req
643. you know what I mean?
- Yes.Copy !req
644. - I'm, like, starting to
really realize that this isCopy !req
645. so much more than just the show.Copy !req
646. My career, my life is so much
more than this moment.Copy !req
647. - Think about your purpose
and your destinyCopy !req
648. and what you want to do,Copy !req
649. and I promise you,
you'll be successful.Copy !req
650. - Thank you.Copy !req
651. - Hopefully, I'll see you
in Vegas, baby.Copy !req
652. - Yes, queen.
- Keep slaying.Copy !req
653. - Thank you so much.Copy !req
654. - OK, now that this
interview is over,Copy !req
655. can we get those nuts
away from my face?Copy !req
656. 'Cause I'm hungry.Copy !req
657. - Mwah.Copy !req
658. - Last day.
- Last day, best day!Copy !req
659. Today is the last day
in the Werk Room,Copy !req
660. and we will be performing
to RuPaul's new hitCopy !req
661. from "RuPaul's Drag Race Live,"
"Gift Shop."Copy !req
662. It's like I'm really gonna be
on "Drag Race Live"Copy !req
663. in front of RuPaul.
I cannot take it!Copy !req
664. I think I'm gonna cry.Copy !req
665. - I can't believe it!Copy !req
666. I'm so emotional.Copy !req
667. I can't believe
it's the last day.Copy !req
668. I'm living my dream,Copy !req
669. and it's like, now
I have to wake up andCopy !req
670. I just want to hit snooze.Copy !req
671. - Do y'all have
any favorite momentsCopy !req
672. here in y'all's journey?Copy !req
673. - Seeing you in the bottom two.Copy !req
674. - Squirrel Games
totally rocked my worldCopy !req
675. for, like, what we were going
to expect this season.Copy !req
676. - I'll never forget walking
into that Squirrel Game roomCopy !req
677. and seeing all of you
but also seeing a clown.Copy !req
678. - Don't talk about Kori
like that.Copy !req
679. - Please.Copy !req
680. - That was one of
my hardest days.Copy !req
681. - I agree with...Copy !req
682. I was, like, really overwhelmed.Copy !req
683. - Yeah, I do remember you being
super quiet the first few days.Copy !req
684. I was like, "no, Sam."Copy !req
685. And then you totally
snapped out of itCopy !req
686. and became a monster
beast demon from hell.Copy !req
687. - I was scared of Lexi at first.Copy !req
688. - Really?
- Why?Copy !req
689. - She's a Southern queen,Copy !req
690. and I knew that she wouldn't
put up with bullshit,Copy !req
691. but thank God we became friends.Copy !req
692. Because I do not want to be
on the opposite side of that.Copy !req
693. - The first impression I have
of Sam versus what I thinkCopy !req
694. of Sam now is
literally polar opp...Copy !req
695. they're like different people.
I hated her.Copy !req
696. I just thought she was nothing.Copy !req
697. And once I started to realize
that we were much more similarCopy !req
698. than I thought, she has
become my favorite personCopy !req
699. in this competition now.Copy !req
700. - I remember Suzie.Copy !req
701. The minute she walked in,
I said, "my God."Copy !req
702. My God.Copy !req
703. I think we all remember
the moment we saw Suzie.Copy !req
704. - I've always wanted
my name in the papers.Copy !req
705. - I always wanted
to be in the papers.Copy !req
706. - You could just tell
that you were very smart.Copy !req
707. I was like, "my God."Copy !req
708. - I am so glad for Sam
and I's relationship now.Copy !req
709. I just remember being like,
"There's no way she gets me."Copy !req
710. - Well, that's the thing
is, like,Copy !req
711. I just preferred the glitz
and the glam and the fab.Copy !req
712. - Yeah.Copy !req
713. - But it is fascinating
that not everyoneCopy !req
714. is inspired by that, you know?
- Totally.Copy !req
715. I am really close
with these girls.Copy !req
716. Of course, they make fun
of me endlessly,Copy !req
717. but it's all with love,
and it makes me so happy.Copy !req
718. - I... you know,
I didn't do drag full-timeCopy !req
719. before coming out here.Copy !req
720. So I was worried
about being immersedCopy !req
721. in the world of drag queens,
and then I met Jewels.Copy !req
722. She too pretty.
She too perfect.Copy !req
723. And I'm not gonna
like this bitch.Copy !req
724. My God.Copy !req
725. - And then our first argument,
I was like...Copy !req
726. My God.Copy !req
727. - I hated that trim.Copy !req
728. - Have your moment
'cause you're not gonnaCopy !req
729. have too many more, bitch.Copy !req
730. - I really don't like
this bitch!Copy !req
731. So I am just so happy...
- We made...Copy !req
732. We made it through.Copy !req
733. So what was the biggest boot
of the season?Copy !req
734. - Joella.Copy !req
735. - Who thinks, OK,
quilted runway,Copy !req
736. let me do a mattress?Copy !req
737. And let me paint RuPaul
on the back.Copy !req
738. - I just can't believe she left
the house and was like, "Yeah."Copy !req
739. She tore it off her bed
and said, "Let's go."Copy !req
740. - I'm so glad we were able
to read each otherCopy !req
741. to dog filth with love
this whole season.Copy !req
742. - That's the fun for me is
we're drag queens, y'all.Copy !req
743. Like, it's real.
We're not heart surgeons.Copy !req
744. We should cut up and kiki.
- Absolutely.Copy !req
745. - I'm truly gonna miss
all of y'all.Copy !req
746. I'm gonna cherish
our friendship.Copy !req
747. I was looking at this
as another pageantCopy !req
748. where I came in
and competed and thenCopy !req
749. never saw anyone again,Copy !req
750. but I am starting to
love all these girls,Copy !req
751. and I see them as my friends.Copy !req
752. But, bitch, I still want
to win, honey.Copy !req
753. - Onya, do you think
that track recordsCopy !req
754. are playing into this?Copy !req
755. - It's not the end all be all,
but the wins do go into play.Copy !req
756. - Well, that's not true.Copy !req
757. A lot of the time,
the girl who has the most winsCopy !req
758. doesn't win the season.Copy !req
759. It would break my heart
to get this farCopy !req
760. and not make the top four
or top three.Copy !req
761. Even when all the odds
were stacked against me,Copy !req
762. I fought, I battled,
and I'm not leaving "Drag Race"Copy !req
763. until I get
my top four placement.Copy !req
764. I don't care what's
standing in my way.Copy !req
765. - You just don't fucking know.Copy !req
766. - You just don't know.Copy !req
767. This top five represents
a wide variety of drag,Copy !req
768. and I think all of them have
very strong reasonsCopy !req
769. for why they should be
in the finale.Copy !req
770. For every reason that they have,Copy !req
771. I feel I have a stronger reason.Copy !req
772. I have no kryptonite.Copy !req
773. I am fucking Superwoman.Copy !req
774. - It's absolutely terrifying
to think that one of usCopy !req
775. is gonna go home.Copy !req
776. Now is the time
we have to do betterCopy !req
777. than we ever have before.Copy !req
778. - Good luck, bitches,Copy !req
779. and may the best drag queen win.Copy !req
780. - I'm ready.Copy !req
781. Welcome to the semifinals
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."Copy !req
782. It's Michelle Visage.Copy !req
783. Now, Michelle,
what's the wildest thingCopy !req
784. you've ever done in Las Vegas?Copy !req
785. - Does Milli Vanilli count?Copy !req
786. - It certainly does.Copy !req
787. - Yay!Copy !req
788. - Luck be a lady.Copy !req
789. It's Ross Mathews.Copy !req
790. - Ross, are you a slots man?Copy !req
791. - Well, the biggest gamble
I takeCopy !req
792. is eating the shrimp at the
99 cent all-you-can-eat buffet.Copy !req
793. And then it's straight
to the craps table,Copy !req
794. if you know what I mean.Copy !req
795. I bet it all on number two.Copy !req
796. - And welcome to "Drag Race,"Copy !req
797. the tantalizing
Tracee Ellis Ross.Copy !req
798. - Hello.Copy !req
799. - Tracee, do you like to gamble?Copy !req
800. - Yes.
- I love a guy with a big deck.Copy !req
801. Ooh.Copy !req
802. - Don't we all?Copy !req
803. - Always bet on "Black-ish."
- Yes.Copy !req
804. - This week, we challenged
our top five queensCopy !req
805. to become Vegas headliners.Copy !req
806. Racers, start your engines and
may the best drag queen win.Copy !req
807. And now from
"RuPaul's Drag Race Live,"Copy !req
808. it's the world premiere

869. - Let's take a look at
your publicity photos.Copy !req
870. Showgirl.Copy !req
871. You know,
that's legal in Nevada.Copy !req
872. And now let's take a look
at your promotional video.Copy !req

Yeah, you.Copy !req
874. Feeling lucky?Copy !req
875. Well, good, 'cause
I'm Jewels Sparkles,Copy !req

and tear it up.Copy !req
881. Do your jewels sparkle?
'Cause, bitch, mine do.Copy !req
882. Ding.Copy !req
883. - Jewels, it's been so fun
to watch your trajectoryCopy !req
884. as you landed here
in the top five.Copy !req
885. In your kiosk video,
like, if I was in VegasCopy !req
886. at a resort or I was there
at a casino and I saw that,Copy !req
887. I would stop,
I would pay attention,Copy !req
888. and I would go to that show.Copy !req
889. - Let's talk about
the interview.Copy !req
890. What I was looking for was
a little bit of vulnerability,Copy !req
891. and I wasn't finding it
until you got stumped.Copy !req
892. In that moment, you went inward,Copy !req
893. and I saw you realizing like,
I don't have a plan.Copy !req
894. And at least it was real.Copy !req
895. - But I loved your
vulnerability when you admittedCopy !req
896. that the other woman
stole your joke,Copy !req
897. but then you don't know if it
worked even when she did it.Copy !req
898. - It didn't.
No one laughed.Copy !req
899. - I thought that was
so priceless.Copy !req
900. - I had no idea that
Arrietty stole your jokes.Copy !req
901. I love that you were
spilling tea,Copy !req
902. which everybody wants
in an interview,Copy !req
903. but you kind of
still kept it classy.Copy !req
904. Tonight, your outerwear
is so beautiful.Copy !req
905. It's gorgeous.Copy !req
906. I love that you have
no pants on,Copy !req
907. but yet it's an illusion.Copy !req
908. - I got to tell you,
that photo session,Copy !req
909. you were the easiest
to photograph.Copy !req
910. Those photographs are gorgeous.Copy !req
911. Up next, Lexi Love.Copy !req
912. Let's take a look at
your publicity photos.Copy !req
913. OK.Copy !req
914. - That's the one
I was waiting for.Copy !req
915. Hello.Copy !req
916. - Now let's take a look
at your promotional video.Copy !req
917. - Hey, there.
I'm Lexi Love.Copy !req
918. Don't worry.Copy !req
919. What happens at
"RuPaul's Drag Race Live"Copy !req
920. stays at "RuPaul's
Drag Race Live."Copy !req
921. And all my lips are sealed.Copy !req
922. - I'll be your
dirty little fantasyCopy !req
923. at Flamingo Vegas,Copy !req
924. where luck and love
are always in the air.Copy !req
925. Let me be the roller derby
doll of your dreams.Copy !req
926. I'll see you there.Copy !req
927. - Lexi.
- Tracee.Copy !req
928. - You have this beautiful thing
of joyCopy !req
929. that is just constantly
bursting out of you.Copy !req
930. And I am just meeting you,
and it comes through.Copy !req
931. I'd like to go to this
right now.Copy !req
932. I do think you could
wear this in Los Angeles.Copy !req
933. I think in Los Angeles,
you can pick an outerwearCopy !req
934. and just be naked underneath.Copy !req
935. - Your performance
in "Gift Shop,"Copy !req
936. I couldn't take
my eyes off of you.Copy !req
937. You were so committed to it.Copy !req
938. - Now, I'll tell you this,Copy !req
939. I didn't love
your promotional video.Copy !req
940. Shit.Copy !req
941. - It kind of looked like
an ad for a showCopy !req
942. down at the other end
of the strip, you know?Copy !req
943. - I know what you mean.Copy !req
944. I'll see you there.Copy !req
945. - Which normally, I'm fine with,Copy !req
946. but I don't think it totally
was the assignment.Copy !req
947. - Now your interview,
I really loved you in this.Copy !req
948. - I thought it was very honest,
very charming.Copy !req
949. It was so vulnerable
and revealing.Copy !req
950. Your story is quite harrowing,
and I feel like peopleCopy !req
951. are going to want to hear more.Copy !req
952. - You got it, kiddo.Copy !req
953. You're the only person
who doesn't know you have it.Copy !req
954. Why is that?Copy !req
955. - I spent so long not being
somebody that was good enough.Copy !req
956. - You spent a lot of time
on the streets.Copy !req
957. - The streets, the pole,
the pipe, all of it.Copy !req
958. - A lot of people who have come
through something like thatCopy !req
959. could come off as guarded.Copy !req
960. You are not guarded.Copy !req
961. You are very heart
on your sleeve,Copy !req
962. heart on your back, heart first.Copy !req
963. And that's why people
root for you.Copy !req
964. - Thank you.
- Up next, Onya Nurve.Copy !req
965. - Hello, everyone.Copy !req
966. - Let's look at your
publicity photos first.Copy !req
967. - Ooh.
- All right.Copy !req
968. - Now let's take a look
at your promotional video.Copy !req
969. - Hey, you jive turkeys!
It's me, Onya Nurve.Copy !req
970. Is that a roll of 20s
in your pocket,Copy !req
971. or are you just happy to see me?Copy !req
972. Come check out
"RuPaul's Drag Race Live"Copy !req
973. at Flamingo Vegas,
where you can get a two-pieceCopy !req
974. wing dinner and a show.Copy !req
975. Watch me put the nerve
in charisma,Copy !req
976. uniqueness, nerve, and talent.Copy !req
977. Because it do take nerves,
Onya Nurve.Copy !req
978. And my box office is open now.Copy !req
979. - In the performance,
my favorite part watching you,Copy !req
980. there's a thing you do
where you just sort ofCopy !req
981. kind of eye-fuck me.Copy !req
982. - I was also eye-fucked by Onya.Copy !req
983. It was very good.Copy !req
984. It's like a long, slow
with a little wink in it.Copy !req
985. - Yeah.
- It's really exceptional.Copy !req
986. OK, what I saw in your look
for the interview confused meCopy !req
987. because I saw a North Carolina
pastor's wifeCopy !req
988. combined with, like,
Atlanta housewife.Copy !req
989. I didn't know where I was.Copy !req
990. I couldn't orient myself.Copy !req
991. - What I loved was we find out
late in this competitionCopy !req
992. that your main job is to cook.
It's not even drag.Copy !req
993. That do impress me much
because to have a full-time jobCopy !req
994. and do drag part-time
and be where you areCopy !req
995. in this short amount of time,Copy !req
996. you should be
very proud of yourself.Copy !req
997. - I mean, that promotional
video is a testamentCopy !req
998. to how smart, how you are
able to comprehendCopy !req
999. what the assignment is and
actually give it your own spin.Copy !req
1000. Now, throughout
this competition,Copy !req
1001. you have been guarded
on a personal level.Copy !req
1002. Why have you not gotten the
message that you are safe here?Copy !req
1003. - You know, I think
I just get caught upCopy !req
1004. with chasing the dream.Copy !req
1005. - But my advice is,
you know, have more fun.Copy !req
1006. You know, play a little bit.Copy !req
1007. Ain't nothing gonna hurt you.
- Right.Copy !req
1008. It ain't hurt you yet.Copy !req
1009. - Up next, Sham Shtar.Copy !req
1010. All right, let's take
a look at your photos.Copy !req
1011. - Ooh.
- Cute.Copy !req
1012. And now for
your promotional video.Copy !req
1013. - Well, howdy, y'all.Copy !req
1014. It's the supermodel of
the South, Sam Star,Copy !req
1015. and you hit the jackpot.Copy !req
1016. "RuPaul's Drag Race Live"
is happeningCopy !req
1017. tonight at Flamingo Vegas.Copy !req
1018. Am I gonna show you a good time?Copy !req
1019. Bitch, does a chicken
have a pecker?Copy !req
1020. Come see me put
the charisma, uniqueness,Copy !req
1021. nerve, and talent in country.Copy !req
1022. Yee-haw!Copy !req
1023. - All right,
let's go to the judges.Copy !req
1024. - This runway look,
the orange is beautiful.Copy !req
1025. You know, you're 24 years old.Copy !req
1026. So this does age you
just a skosh,Copy !req
1027. but I kind of know this woman.Copy !req
1028. I appreciate it.Copy !req
1029. There's a wink and a nod
happening.Copy !req
1030. - The promo video, I enjoyed,Copy !req
1031. but I felt like there was
like a Saran wrap layerCopy !req
1032. between us and you.Copy !req
1033. There was just something
that was, like,Copy !req
1034. a little bit of a disconnect.Copy !req
1035. - Now, in the performance,
you were fantastic.Copy !req
1036. That outfit's so gorgeous,
the hair.Copy !req
1037. Sam, you are a joy.Copy !req
1038. - Now let's talk about
the interview.Copy !req
1039. I have pushed you quite a bit
in this competitionCopy !req
1040. to let us into
that plastic façade,Copy !req
1041. and you have.Copy !req
1042. Now, there is a fine line
between confident and cocky.Copy !req
1043. - Those people were
just jealous all along.Copy !req
1044. - You can be confident because
you know what, Sam Star?Copy !req
1045. I love your confidence.Copy !req
1046. And you need to keep
that confidence.Copy !req
1047. Just rein it in
the slightest bitCopy !req
1048. so it doesn't cross that line.Copy !req
1049. Does that make sense?
- It does.Copy !req
1050. And thank you for that.Copy !req
1051. - Of course.Copy !req
1052. We all need to hear
those things.Copy !req
1053. - There's a thing
that can happen sometimesCopy !req
1054. when we're nervous,
even if we thinkCopy !req
1055. we're being confident and fine,Copy !req
1056. that, unbeknownst to us,
we lean towards a cockiness.Copy !req
1057. But I love the way
you took the feedback.Copy !req
1058. I just thought it was beautiful,Copy !req
1059. and there's a lot
of humility in it.Copy !req
1060. - So after all these weeks,
how are you feeling?Copy !req
1061. - I'm learning so much
about myself,Copy !req
1062. that it's finally OK
to just be me.Copy !req
1063. - Yeah.Copy !req
1064. - I just have
so many things to say,Copy !req
1065. and I shouldn't be
scared to say them,Copy !req
1066. and I should
embrace all the thingsCopy !req
1067. that make me different,Copy !req
1068. and the glitter,
the rhinestones,Copy !req
1069. the gayness, all of it.Copy !req
1070. - Thank you, Sam.Copy !req
1071. - Thank y'all so much.Copy !req
1072. - Up next, Suzie Toot.Copy !req
1073. Beep, beep, beep.Copy !req
1074. Let's take a look at
your publicity photos.Copy !req
1075. - Aw, that's cute.Copy !req
1076. - And now for
your promotional video.Copy !req
1077. - Ahoy, sailor.Copy !req
1078. It's me, "Drag Race"
superstar Suzie Toot,Copy !req
1079. and here in Vegas,
anything goes.Copy !req
1080. Come see me at Flamingo Vegas
for the splashiestCopy !req
1081. production number in
"Drag Race Live" herstory.Copy !req
1082. Sexy sailors, tap dancing,
and, well,Copy !req
1083. I can't give it all away
just yet.Copy !req
1084. That's for after the show.Copy !req
1085. Toot, toot, beep, beep.Copy !req
1086. Vegas, ho!Copy !req
1087. Wait, what did I just call me?Copy !req
1088. - All right,
let's go to the judges.Copy !req
1089. - You are so
extraordinarily talented.Copy !req
1090. When I got to act opposite youCopy !req
1091. in "Ross Mathews
Versus the Duck,"Copy !req
1092. right away, I thought,
this is an actress.Copy !req
1093. So when we have a challenge
like sell the Vegas show,Copy !req
1094. you know how to do the gig,Copy !req
1095. except you did "Anything Goes."Copy !req
1096. It wasn't Vegas.
It wasn't even Reno.Copy !req
1097. - And then in the number,Copy !req
1098. they were all doing
this Vegas thing,Copy !req
1099. and you were still
in a talkie in 1927.Copy !req
1100. So it just didn't go.Copy !req
1101. Also, the character shoes
almost killed me.Copy !req
1102. If you're gonna wear
character shoes,Copy !req
1103. make your LaDucas sparkle.Copy !req
1104. - I will say that what
I saw in your interviewCopy !req
1105. that really blew me away,
I wrote downCopy !req
1106. "so incredibly
self-reflective."Copy !req
1107. And that's a quality that
will take you as an artistCopy !req
1108. into so many different places.Copy !req
1109. So I see someone
who's completelyCopy !req
1110. committed to what they're doing,Copy !req
1111. and that you can
bring everywhere.Copy !req
1112. - You were so charming
in your interview.Copy !req
1113. I loved it.Copy !req
1114. I just want you to look
at yourself as a full pictureCopy !req
1115. and not one thing.Copy !req
1116. - During this competition,
you did ventureCopy !req
1117. into different makeup styles,
and we were justCopy !req
1118. gobsmacked when we saw that.Copy !req
1119. - But we never did get the full
"I'm away from it" Suzie Toot.Copy !req
1120. - You know, I felt like with
the semifinals and with this,Copy !req
1121. it would be like a return
to form but more polished,Copy !req
1122. and it would be
spectacular and amazingCopy !req
1123. and my God, we love you,
and it didn't read.Copy !req
1124. - You set the bar very high.Copy !req
1125. You're so talented.Copy !req
1126. You have a huge future
ahead of you.Copy !req
1127. I have no doubt you're
gonna get on Broadway.Copy !req
1128. I just want it to be more
than one show.Copy !req
1129. I want you to last
and get your TonyCopy !req
1130. and do all the things
in your dreams,Copy !req
1131. but you have to put yourself
out of that comfort zone.Copy !req
1132. - Thank you, queens.Copy !req
1133. I think we've heard enough.Copy !req
1134. While you untuck backstage,Copy !req
1135. the judges and I
will deliberate.Copy !req
1136. OK, now, just between
us squirrel friends,Copy !req
1137. there is a lot
to discuss tonight,Copy !req
1138. and a lot is on the line.Copy !req
1139. So let's focus on
this week's challengeCopy !req
1140. and how it relates
to their overall journey,Copy !req
1141. starting with Jewels Sparkles.Copy !req
1142. - Quite honestly, I think
she was my favorite.Copy !req
1143. In "The Gift Shop,"
I thought she was fantastic.Copy !req
1144. That Cher hair
is gorgeous on her.Copy !req
1145. She knew the choreo.
She was smiling.Copy !req
1146. She was having a great time.Copy !req
1147. - On the runway,
Jewels Sparkles sparkled.Copy !req
1148. To quote her promotional video,
ding, ding,Copy !req
1149. ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
- Yes.Copy !req
1150. - I'd see that show in a minute.Copy !req
1151. Sense of humor,
a little wink-wink,Copy !req
1152. nudge-nudge,
a little sex appeal.Copy !req
1153. She had it all.Copy !req
1154. - Well, I think
Jewels has got star power,Copy !req
1155. humor, and an ability
to transform herself.Copy !req
1156. And these are all things,
to me, that put youCopy !req
1157. at the top of the game.
- Lexi Love.Copy !req
1158. - Here's the thing
with Lexi Love.Copy !req
1159. She has shown out on
the runway every single time.Copy !req
1160. Tonight was no exception.Copy !req
1161. I loved that opulent outerwear
that she wore.Copy !req
1162. - I'm in awe of the...
the essence ofCopy !req
1163. "I will never not be me"
of Lexi.Copy !req
1164. Her sass, her bounce,
her joy, yes.Copy !req
1165. In the promotional video, I wouldn't go see that show.Copy !req
1166. I would not.Copy !req
1167. But she really shined
in the "Gift Shop" number.Copy !req
1168. Could not take
my eyes off of her,Copy !req
1169. and I had to force myself
to look at the other girls.Copy !req
1170. And, normally,
I would be forcing myselfCopy !req
1171. to look at the dancers.
I couldn't even do that.Copy !req
1172. Onya Nurve.Copy !req
1173. - The one-on-one interview,
now y'all hadCopy !req
1174. such a problem with her
North CarolinaCopy !req
1175. pastor's wife outfit.
I actually loved it.Copy !req
1176. She consciously said,
"You know what?Copy !req
1177. I'm gonna do
a daytime talk show look."Copy !req
1178. It was the wig.Copy !req
1179. - Daytime wig, Ross,
daytime wig.Copy !req
1180. - That should be
a middle of the night wigCopy !req
1181. is what that should be.Copy !req
1182. But what worked for me was
her story in the interview.Copy !req
1183. She talked about
what it felt like beingCopy !req
1184. the cook in the back
of the kitchen,Copy !req
1185. wanting to be in
the light on the stage.Copy !req
1186. I think about that
a lot because,Copy !req
1187. you know, I worked
at McDonald's,Copy !req
1188. register, drive-through,
and grill.Copy !req
1189. Triple threat.
- Yes!Copy !req
1190. - And I would think, "One day,Copy !req
1191. "I'm gonna be on TV
talking aboutCopy !req
1192. how I used to flip burgers."
Hello.Copy !req
1193. - And that runway look was
everything and a bag of chips.Copy !req
1194. And they were Doritos,
so you know?Copy !req
1195. Yum.Copy !req
1196. - In the "Gift Shop" number,
she was fantastic.Copy !req
1197. Onya is a star.Copy !req
1198. She really has a presenceCopy !req
1199. that will not be ignored.Copy !req
1200. All right, Sam Star.Copy !req
1201. - Listen,
the million-watt smile.Copy !req
1202. There's a sense of
she swallowed the sunCopy !req
1203. in a way that just
kind of comes throughCopy !req
1204. in all the different moments.Copy !req
1205. - Tonight on the runway,Copy !req
1206. I thought that was real pretty.Copy !req
1207. Yes, it did age her.
Ross, you are correct.Copy !req
1208. But she is a pageant girl,Copy !req
1209. and that is pageant beauty
right there.Copy !req
1210. - Did you hear?
Michelle said I was right.Copy !req
1211. - One thing, Ross.Copy !req
1212. - Here's the deal.
That promo video was not good.Copy !req
1213. Do you remember Cal Worthington?Copy !req
1214. Yeah.Copy !req
1215. - He would sell you...
Come on down. I got used cars.Copy !req
1216. We got a Chevy Ford 1977.
Right?Copy !req
1217. It was that.Copy !req
1218. It had nothing to do
with the Vegas live show.Copy !req
1219. - In the photo session,Copy !req
1220. the outfit didn't allow herCopy !req
1221. to do much more
than what we saw,Copy !req
1222. but we got some
good pictures out of it.Copy !req
1223. She has had very few missteps
in this competition.Copy !req
1224. Suzie Toot.Copy !req
1225. - Suzie Toot was a tough one
for me tonight, y'all.Copy !req
1226. She was talking about
how she saw herselfCopy !req
1227. like as a return to form,
but really,Copy !req
1228. she never left the form.Copy !req
1229. - Why would you wear an
"Anything Goes" bathing suitCopy !req
1230. in your promo pic for Vegas?Copy !req
1231. - Also, the outfit
she wore in the "Gift Shop"Copy !req
1232. number was jarring.Copy !req
1233. They won't be selling those
at the gift shop.Copy !req
1234. No, no.Copy !req
1235. - I will say, in the interview,
she showed meCopy !req
1236. again why I love her so much.Copy !req
1237. Total pro, so good
at what she does.Copy !req
1238. If she were to win this crown,
she would representCopy !req
1239. this show so beautifully.Copy !req
1240. - My own experience
is that knowingCopy !req
1241. how to make the right choices
in the right momentsCopy !req
1242. is part of what we do
and what this moment is,Copy !req
1243. and she made a choice
that didn't work, you know?Copy !req
1244. So this was one moment.Copy !req
1245. It's... one swan
doesn't make a summer.Copy !req
1246. One swallow
doesn't make a summer.Copy !req
1247. Is that the expression?Copy !req
1248. - Michelle Visage
has bought the rightsCopy !req
1249. to a book called "One Swallow
Does Not a Summer Make."Copy !req
1250. - 1987.
It was a good year.Copy !req
1251. - It was a good year.
We all know that year.Copy !req
1252. - Yeah, we do.
Yeah, we do.Copy !req
1253. - Silence.Copy !req
1254. I have made my decision.Copy !req
1255. Bring back my girls.Copy !req
1256. Welcome back, queens.Copy !req
1257. I've made some decisions.Copy !req
1258. Lexi Love, this week,

that I made itCopy !req
1284. through this motherfucker.Copy !req

the back of the stage.Copy !req

1287. Coming into this competition,Copy !req
1288. I was a small little birdie
just born in the nest,Copy !req
1289. and now I am flying
right to the finale.Copy !req
1290. - Sam Star, Suzie Toot,
you are both winning queens,Copy !req
1291. but tonight, the odds
were not in your favor.Copy !req
1292. I'm sorry, my dears, but you
are both up for elimination.Copy !req
1293. - I am gutted,
but I also feel a needCopy !req
1294. to perform and prove myself
after the critiquesCopy !req
1295. that I received.Copy !req
1296. I have to destroy this number.Copy !req
1297. I have to be in the finale.Copy !req
1298. - Two queens stand before me.Copy !req
1299. Prior to tonight,
you were asked to prepareCopy !req

1302. Ladies, this is your
last chance to impress me.Copy !req

1304. The time has come for youCopy !req
1305. to Lip SyncCopy !req

that this is happening.Copy !req
1308. We finally just developed
a friendship,Copy !req
1309. but one of us has to go,
and I refuse for it to be me.Copy !req

Give it to 'em!Copy !req
1317. - Suzie is giving more,
