RuPaul's Drag Race 18x1

1. Even in the darkest of times, there's always a spark of hope.

2. Drag Race.

3. Generators activated.

4. Oh, shit.

5. Here we go again.

6. Always the black drag queen gotta save the day.

7. All right, y'.

8. All, Come on.

9. Harder.

10. Harder!

11. I'm going as fast as I can.

12. Repeat after me.

13. I think we can.

14. I think we can.

15. I think we can.

16. I think we can.

17. I think we can!

18. I think we can.

19. I think I just did.

20. Oh, my God.

21. Yeah, it's going to be a rough one.

22. Just keep pedaling.

23. Generators reaching half capacity.

24. Because it takes a whole lot more than

25. bad lighting to keep a good drag queen down.

26. Honey, this is how you throw a party on Drag Race, bitch.

27. My name is Athena Dion.

28. I'm the Greek goddess from Miami.

29. You may also refer to me as the Queen of Miami.

30. Athena was pretty much the hbic of Mount Olympus, and that's how I feel.

31. My drag style is opulent.

32. It's glamorous.

33. I would say I'm close to perfect, as I don't think perfection

34. is attainable, but I'm pretty much as close as it can get.

35. Ooh.

36. We're in the red light district this season.

37. Why are the lights off?

38. It's black everywhere.

39. Did I take the wrong door?

40. Well, still gorgeous.

41. I'm basically the hostess with the mostess in Miami, and

42. I'm a big drag mother with a huge drag family.

43. My drag daughter is the winner of

44. the LaLaPaRuza Season 16 Morphine Love Dion.

45. Plane Jane is also technically my drag daughter.

46. I am definitely the Kris Jenner of drag.

47. Mama's home!

48. I have one thing to say.

49. I'm Kenya Pleaser, all the way from South Carolina.

50. And I'm here to please you and everybody in America.

51. She better shake.

52. My drag style is your sexy auntie that's a hoe.

53. I can give you sex.

54. I can give you church lady.

55. I can give you grandma.

56. I can give you straight up cunts.

57. She kind of looks like Lizzo.

58. I impersonate Lizzo.

59. That's actually how I started doing drag.

60. I am a show stopping, plus sized diva.

61. The pleaser principle is always in effect, baby.

62. I'm Athena Dion.

63. Bitch, I know who you are.

64. I know of Athena Dion.

65. She is the grande dame of Florida.

66. It is very intimidating, but, you know, I'm ready to sit

67. this fat ass on these other girls and dominate the competition.

68. What is it?

69. Why is that blinking?

70. I don't know.

71. Oh, now you're freaking me out.

72. Girl, what the fuck?

73. Why is it dark?

74. Why?

75. The next queen to walk in is definitely the boogeyman or the booger man.

76. After a rain, there's a rainbow.

77. I'm Nini Coco.

78. I am the high energy, high fashion diva

79. from the mile high city of Denver, Colorado.

80. My drag is conceptual.

81. It's theatrical.

82. It's a little bit unhinged.

83. Coco.

84. Oh, I know you.

85. Let me guess.

86. You made the whole outfit yourself, didn't you?

87. Of course, every stitch, baby.

88. Now I know Nini from the Internet.

89. I know she's a good costume designer.

90. So, design challenges,

91. watch out.

92. So are you, like, a costume designer by trade?

93. Is that, like, your day job?

94. No, I actually quit my day job to come here.

95. I was a mechanical engineer.

96. What the fuck?

97. Up until yesterday.

98. Gurl!

99. It's very Clark Kent.

100. Engineer by day, drag queen superstar by night.

101. I think my coworkers are going to freak

102. out when they see me on TV because I

103. was doing low calculations last week, and now I

104. am starting my stuff on the RuPaul's Drag Race.

105. This competition is so important to me because I get

106. to turn my life in a completely new direction today.

107. Oh, my God.

108. Is that Jinkx?

109. My name's Jane Don't.

110. And I'm a little lady who's a big problem.

111. A lot of my drag revolves around comedy.

112. Yes, shoulder.

113. Yes, shoulder.

114. All the way.

115. Give it.

116. Would that be something you would make for yourself?

117. You know.

118. I would make it better.

119. I'm extremely inspired by old school

120. funny ladies: Bette Midler and Joan Rivers.

121. I could hear your gay voices from so far away.

122. Gay?

123. I'm a Christian.

124. Fabulous.

125. Athena Dion.

126. Hi, Athena.

127. Okay, I know Athena.

128. Hey!

129. Popular.

130. I want America to know I'm one of the best in the biz.

131. And I mean business.

132. Big business.

133. So, Ms.

134. Jane, where you from?

135. I am from Seattle, Washington.

136. Are you related to Jinkx?

137. I am not related to Jinx.

138. Irene the Alien and Bosco are my older sisters.

139. I have two hot mean older sisters.

140. Bosco from season 14 and All Stars 10 and.

141. And Irene The Alien from season 15 and All Stars 10.

142. You know, both of my sisters have

143. done very well for themselves besides the water.

144. So it's probably kind of intimidating.

145. Who's ready for a little chaos?

146. I'm Discord Addams, and I am the high fashion punk rock maximalist from St.

147. Petersburg, Florida.

148. My drag style is filled with safety pins, studs and a lot of gumption.

149. It's sort of Patsy from Ab Fab, but, like after the apocalypse.

150. I'm definitely known for, like, my high energy rock and roll performances.

151. I love to play guitar live.

152. Hello!

153. Hello, everybody.

154. Becoming a drag rock star is the ultimate goal.

155. Tell us about your look.

156. Did you make this?

157. Yes, I made the boots.

158. My partner made some of it.

159. Whoa.

160. Did anybody, like, make their outfits?

161. I made mine.

162. Oh.

163. My first impression of Nini Coco is I absolutely hate what she's wearing.

164. I hate rainbows so much.

165. Can we get into the bag?

166. Can we get into this?

167. Oh, my God.

168. What is this saying?

169. It's saying, like, don't fuck with me.

170. I'm repping for the big backs, and I came to eat.

171. Did she say big backs?

172. Bitch!

173. I'm Mia Starr, and I am from West Palm Beach, Florida.

174. I am your 90s, early 2000s hip hop, dance it diva, big back hookah hoe.

175. Had to do it to him.

176. My drag style is very Mob Wives.

177. Very urban, high energy.

178. I am a choreography bitch.

179. That's my sister.

180. What the fuck?

181. No more Florida, please.

182. More Florida, girl.

183. No more Florida.

184. Miss Mia Star, honey.

185. She's sister of the House of Dion.

186. She's auntie.

187. She is such a talented dancer.

188. Her talent speaks for itself.

189. And she will be tough competition.

190. Tell us about your drag.

191. I started 17 years ago.

192. Whoa.

193. I have a interesting drag journey.

194. I started drag 17 years ago.

195. I stopped for 14 years to pursue dance.

196. I've been on tour with Rihanna on her Loud tour.

197. What?

198. I have been on world tours with Paulina Rubio, Rihanna, Britney Spears.

199. I have performed at the super bowl with Jennifer Lopez.

200. I'm so proud of you.

201. You're a rock star, bitch.

202. But now it's my time to shine in the front.

203. Can I say the f word?

204. I'm DD Fuego and I am from New York City.

205. Baby.

206. It's a porcupine.

207. Yeah.

208. I actually know a lot of F words.

209. I am fiery, feisty.

210. I am a full fucking production.

211. All right, let's do it.

212. The vibes that I'm serving are always high polish, high fashion, big teeth.

213. Where are you from?

214. I am from New York City.

215. I am originally from Monterrey, Mexico.

216. I am a Latina, but I'm not like a cha cha cha.

217. Like, give you the.

218. Your name's just DD Fuego.

219. I mean.

220. Okay, okay, I know.

221. DD, how long have you been doing drag?

222. 10, 15 years.

223. We have seasoned girls this year.

224. Girl, thank God.

225. I'm thrilled.

226. I'm not the only person over 30.

227. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

228. How many of us are over 30?

229. Why are we doing this now?

230. Athena, put your hand up.

231. This is correct.

232. No, I agree.

233. I love that it's a bunch of old bitches.

234. I am feeling a different vibe.

235. The party princess of Miami, and Mykonos is finally here.

236. Yes, baby, the juice is loose.

237. My name is Juicy Love Dion.

238. And I'm Miami's Afro Cuban dancing doll.

239. Girl, she gonna lip sync down, bitch.

240. I mean, isn't it obvious?

241. I'm a dancing queen.

242. Some of you may know my drag mother, Morphine Love Dion from season 16.

243. Another Florida bitch?

244. Four Florida girls.

245. Oh, it's a family affair, kids.

246. The fruit of my loins has entered the workroom.

247. Juicy Love Dion, get your booty over here.

248. So this is all the same family?

249. The Dion's?

250. Yes.

251. Let's get this straight.

252. Athena Dion is Morphine's drag mother,

253. and I'm Morphine's drag daughter, so technically.

254. We don't use the G word in public.

255. Just so we're clear.

256. Mother Morphine.

257. Grandmother Athena,

258. but also Mother Athena?

259. I think this is the first time in Drag Race herstory

260. that a mother and daughter are competing together in this competition.

261. I feel like I'm being chaperoned.

262. You are.

263. You have mom.

264. And you got your tia over here, honey.

265. Athena has already said she's related to Mia somehow.

266. They're sisters.

267. Now her daughter is here.

268. My strategic mind immediately goes, well,

269. they're gonna have each other's back.

270. Baby, it's easy to see that I'm the key.

271. You can question those other girls, but never Queen V.

272. Come on, Doctor Seuss.

273. My name is Vita VonTesse Starr.

274. And I am the queen of Montgomery, Alabama.

275. The Starr family name represents class, money.

276. Looking like a coin all of the time.

277. Hello.

278. What's your name?

279. Vita.

280. Aren't you a pageant girl?

281. I am.

282. What do you know about me?

283. Girl, you're sickening, bitch.

284. I mean, what else?

285. Vita VonTesse Starr is huge competition.

286. She is an icon.

287. What titles have you won?

288. Black America Newcomer, Ms.

289. Empire.

290. I've gotten first runner up at International Entertainer of the Year.

291. You should have won.

292. And I think you're also a costume designer yourself.

293. Did you make this?

294. I am.

295. Now you know I did.

296. You know I did.

297. So we have, like, three design girls here on this.

298. Oh, who's the other design girls?

299. Hi, I'm Discord.

300. And you made this?

301. Yes.

302. I also make most of my own looks.

303. Oh, Miss Vita Girl, you're gonna have to keep your eyes on some of

304. these girls, because I'm not the only

305. one in the competition who's an amazing designer.

306. Bitch, here we go.

307. Oh.

308. Why are you recording me?

309. What the actual fuck?

310. I'm Briar Blush.

311. And I'm Boston's pinup princess.

312. Briar Blush is an amalgamation of

313. everything that doesn't make sense to combine.

314. She's retro, she's a little goth, she's a little edgy.

315. Swing that motherfucking hair, bitch.

316. Yes, ma.

317. I always have jet black hair and a great beat.

318. Meh.

319. Oh, girl, this bitch gonna be a shady already, girl.

320. She doesn't want to give us a hug, she didn't want to say hello.

321. At this point, everyone is walking in saying, hi, kiss, kiss.

322. Briar she's immediately hands on the front of the table

323. like she is about to buy 51% of this company.

324. What's your name?

325. My name is Briar Blush.

326. My name is like the thorns of the rose.

327. That's what a briar is.

328. Oh, a briar.

329. So is Briar, like, descriptive of your personality?

330. A lot of people tell me I'm very intimidating in drag.

331. My personality may be a bit divisive, but my quality of drag is undisputed.

332. Brian, where are you?

333. Brian?

334. I'm from Boston, Massachusetts.

335. Boston?

336. Where's the Boston attitude?

337. I think you've seen it already.

338. I think we got it.

339. Miss nurse.

340. Oh, girl.

341. Don't you know?

342. A mango a day keeps the doctor away.

343. Girl.

344. Somebody called an ambulance.

345. I'm Mandi Mango.

346. I'm Philadelphia's favorite Asian baby girl.

347. And I am the Filipina Fruity Tutti

348. Booty coming to you in your favorite flavor.

349. Wait, what is she holding?

350. A mango.

351. It's a mango?

352. A signature drag element is a touch of kookiness.

353. It can be the most abstract and kind of

354. conceptual things where you're like, what is she doing?

355. But you can still tell there's a high level of femininity and cunt to it.

356. What's your name?

357. Mandy Mango.

358. Hi, Mandy.

359. We get the mango reference now.

360. Okay, so the mango is sweet.

361. Are you a sweet personality?

362. Honestly?

363. Yes, I am really sweet.

364. I work my day job as a nurse, so like.

365. Okay, okay, it's all coming together.

366. I specialize in HIV and sexual health with the LGBTQ community.

367. This costume is not just a nurse outfit.

368. I fully am a nurse.

369. I love to do the stunts, give the shows, give the glamour.

370. But, mama, I'm also drawing your

371. blood, giving the injections, because I'm what?

372. Registered.

373. Have we acknowledged that this is spooky?

374. Yeah, it's dark as fuck in here.

375. That red light is blinking in a little suspicious way.

376. I don't know if this is normal, but it feels tense.

377. Well, have you seen the show, Tamar?

378. Feeling scared yet?

379. You should be.

380. Happy Halloween.

381. My name is Ciara Myst and I'm

382. the shape shifting superstar of Indianapolis, Indiana.

383. My drag style is inspired by sci fi, horror, fantasy and magic.

384. So we got mangoes, we got pumpkins.

385. I am a prosthetic makeup artist, so you will see creature transformation.

386. I'm loving all of this.

387. And you did all of this?

388. I did do all of this.

389. About 96% of all the things in my closet are things that I've made.

390. Ciara Myst prides herself on being able to

391. take something and turn it into her complete vision.

392. So what would you consider your drag aesthetic?

393. A little ooky spooky, a little ethereal,

394. A little Ciara mystical, if you might say.

395. You're a spooky, creepy, kooky queen.

396. And you're named after a discontinued soda pop.

397. I don't. I don't get it.

398. I think a demon monster from hell is probably the best description.

399. Yeah, it suits you.

400. Oh, my God.

401. She's corny.

402. I don't remember having corn.

403. I'm Darlene Mitchell.

404. And I'm the country cunty camp queen of Los Angeles.

405. Darlene is the perfect mix between

406. soap opera glamour and Midwest trailer trash.

407. I can see your cornhole from here.

408. My signature drag look is big hair and very Peg Bundy.

409. There's a quote from Dolly Parton that she says, like, I literally

410. modeled my look off of the women in town that they called trash.

411. And that's very much the aesthetic.

412. I'm from Los Angeles

413. Originally from Greentown, Indiana.

414. Yes.

415. You're representing LA, but you're

416. dressed as corn and you "Miss something".

417. So did drag bring you to LA or you started drag once you landed here?

418. I started drag once I landed here.

419. I started as a bedroom queen.

420. Okay.

421. And then made my way into the bar circuit

422. and then sort of evolved back into a bedroom queen.

423. You don't perform in the local scene?

424. Um. I used to, and I actually performed with the name Trash.

425. About 10 years ago, I performed with the drag

426. name Trash, and I definitely lived up to that.

427. I rode fast and hard, and then I

428. became sober, and I decided to become Darlene Mitchell.

429. So how long have you been doing drag?

430. 10 years.

431. Oh, my God.

432. I actually haven't been in, like, the

433. performing circuit for four or five years.

434. I have friends that joke with me, like, come on,

435. girl, we gotta get the drag out of the house.

436. Hi.

437. I'm Myki.

438. But you?

439. You can call me.

440. Myki.

441. I am the gorgeously stupid stupidly gorgeous Myki Meeks.

442. And I am the drag ingenue of Orlando, Florida.

443. I am a dynamic, theatrical powerhouse creative.

444. Is that Florida?

445. Five Florida girls.

446. I am mailing someone anthrax.

447. This Florida block that has developed is a little alarming.

448. As a competitor who is not from Florida, I am losing my mind.

449. Myki, what type of drag do you do?

450. I host a lot back home.

451. I do a little bit of glamour, a little bit of camp.

452. Back home, I am known as a funny diva and a hosting queen.

453. I love to host, not travel.

454. That's a Grinder joke.

455. That's a Grinder joke.

456. Bitch.

457. We're here.

458. We are here in these four pink walls.

459. Very dark walls.

460. Yeah!

461. Gurl!

462. It's so dark, I can't see anything.

463. Follow the light, Carol Ann.

464. My queens.

465. Now is not the time to hide in the shadows.

466. When we work together, we've got the power

467. to make magic and change the mother Tucking world.

468. So join hands.

469. Oh, my God.

470. Hold my hand.

471. Hold my hand.

472. Everybody say "love".

473. Oh, my God!

474. Pedal.

475. Faster.

476. Harder.

477. Everybody say "love".

478. I can't hear you.

479. Hi.

480. My gorgeous queens.

481. You're blinding me with your beauty.

482. Now, promise me one thing.

483. You won't let anybody take away the shine that God gave you.

484. Hallelujah.

485. Can I get an amen up in here?

486. Amen.

487. This season, all eyes are on your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.

488. So make them eat it.

489. Because in the end, the queen that leaves

490. no crumbs will be crowned America's next drag superstar.

491. Now, are you ready for your first mini challenge?

492. Good, because it's going to be a scream.

493. I'm scared, girl.

494. What the fuck are you gonna do to us?

495. I'm already fucking scared looking at Mandy's makeup.

496. Let's go.

497. The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will snatch an

498. official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and a

499. cash prize of 200,000 doulas, courtesy of RuPaul's Drag

500. Race Match Queen, with extra special guest judge Cardi B.

501. Hello, hello, hello.

502. Athena Dion.

503. Welcome to your season 18 initiation.

504. Say hello to Jamal Sims.

505. Hello, Jamal.

506. Hey, Athena.

507. I'm curious.

508. Would dates consider you a screamer?

509. She's a screamer and she's a biter, RuPaul.

510. Well, for this week's mini challenge, you

511. need to scream your padded ass off.

512. Okay.

513. But you won't be doing it alone.

514. There are some hot masked.

515. For masked dancers, this could be a good scream after all.

516. Athena.

517. You're about to do a little

518. primal screamography with these hot, pulsing mensesses.

519. Good luck, and may the best scream queen

520. Win.

521. Oh my God, so many men.

522. I'm screaming like a 55 year old woman at a gay beach like:

523. Hello, hello boys.

524. Like, when did I become Nathan Lane in the bird cage?

525. Nini Coco.

526. Hello.

527. You kind of resemble Alicia Edwards.

528. Alyssa?

529. I get that.

530. That's what I meant.

531. Alyssa, Alyssa's sister.

532. Well, her secret is her name is Alicia.

533. That's a damn secret.

534. We're in the first mini challenge, I gotta give it everything I have.

535. I am trying to pull this scream up into

536. my throat and hit that high pitch horror scream.

537. All right.

538. Mariah.

539. Kenya Pleaser, I want you to think you in one of them Wes Craven movies.

540. These white folks in this graveyard is just scaring me.

541. Cast out those demons.

542. All these hot guys are around me and I can't even help myself.

543. I want to lick a nipple.

544. I want to suck up.

545. Their nose.

546. Jane Don't give me a little baby home alone.

547. You screaming like a white woman in Compton.

548. Well, I do have my purse.

549. Okay, hold on to the furry.

550. Discord Addams.

551. That scream was primal.

552. Mamma mia, that's quite a scream.

553. Ah, it's getting hot up here.

554. Scream, girl.

555. That was crazy, right?

556. That was crazy as hell.

557. Finally, it is time for some of us to get

558. up out of drag and see how these hookah hoes look.

559. Is anybody catching your eye so far?

560. Yeah.

561. Athena.

562. I really.

563. She's hot.

564. I'm taking off my drag I feel like there's some eyes wandering in my

565. direction I'm a feast for the eyes so dive in, ladies, take a bite.

566. You would be mean to me at a bar.

567. Would you hit on me and I'd turn you down?

568. Is that what you're saying?

569. Okay, let's not go that far.

570. Juicy Love Dion, are you ready to make $14 the hard way?

571. I'll do it for 10.

572. That's too sick.

573. Vita VonTesse Starr.

574. Think of Africa, Vita.

575. Come on.

576. Kunta Kinte.

577. James brown.

578. Oh.

579. Hey.

580. Yeah.

581. Oh.

582. Come on.

583. Briar Blush.

584. Grab my hair.

585. Grab my hair.

586. Oh, no.

587. Good girl.

588. Ooh.

589. We gonna briar patch this motherfucker.

590. Mandy Mango.

591. Ciara Myst.

592. Boys, you can touch.

593. It's okay.

594. Oh, that's kind of hard.

595. Oh.

596. Oh, my goodness.

597. Ms.

598. Darlene Mitchell.

599. Darlene scream like you the last piece of white meat at Roscoe's.

600. Myki Meeks.

601. This is not what I thought would be the first

602. mini challenge, but I don't mind the sweaty men around me.

603. That's fine.

604. Reminds me of home.

605. Now, something tells me you've been initiated several times.

606. That was crazy.

607. We have all survived this crazy initiation ritual.

608. Now it's time to haul all of these boxes and bins

609. across the room so we can get out of these drags.

610. Concierge.

611. Ding, ding, ding, ding.

612. Where's my away suitcase?

613. There it is.

614. Someone help me?

615. Time to dedrag.

616. Taking a look around, some of them

617. might be scarier than whatever just happened.

618. I'm looking around the room, and I'm like, is this the crew?

619. Like, some of these girls look completely different without makeup.

620. Wait.

621. Who are you?

622. I'm Nini.

623. I kind of gag at everyone out of drag.

624. They give, like, very puss, puss woman.

625. So seeing them giving cock cock man is great.

626. Oh, my goodness.

627. Hello, hello, hello.

628. Briar out of drag.

629. She looks like a lesbian.

630. You're like Tegan and Sara.

631. Look at this.

632. This is the wig?

633. No, this is my hair.

634. The girls are all shocked at what I look like out of drag.

635. I guess when you're Puss Puss Magus, they

636. don't expect a little turnip goblin to come out.

637. How do y' all feel that?

638. We have a lot of older queens this season?

639. Why do we have to keep saying older queens?

640. No, no, girl, but seasoned, girl.

641. How many queens are over 30?

642. Raise your hand.

643. 30 and up, bitch.

644. Gag, bitch.

645. There's a hand over there.

646. And Darlene, too.

647. It's the granny season.

648. So we're, like, more over 30?

649. We are 30, flirty and thriving together, baby.

650. There's so much to learn from all your years of wisdom.

651. Shady comment coming from the shady queen.

652. I'm starting to think some of these girls are

653. even more annoying out of drag than in drag.

654. Hey, ladykins.

655. Scream if you want to go faster.

656. Yes.

657. My queens.

658. Now, y' all let loose, to say the least.

659. Sorry.

660. But one of you truly unleashed the beast.

661. The queen that served the most primal scream is.

662. Kenya Pleaser.

663. Condragulations.

664. You've won a cash prize of $2,500.

665. Oh, my God!

666. I won the very first mini challenge of the season.

667. It was crazy.

668. Me.

669. Me.

670. My big, black fat ass

671. Bitch!

672. Ladykins.

673. Since the dawn of time, drag queens

674. have turned the tragical into the magical.

675. And now, more than ever,

676. it's time to Reclaim, Renew and Rejoice.

677. For your first maxi challenge, you'll pay

678. tribute to all the scrappy queens that

679. came before you by using their leftover

680. treasures to create your own signature drag look.

681. The first maxi challenge is a design challenge.

682. A design challenge.

683. Right off the bat.

684. Where's the talent show, bitch?

685. Where is the talent show?

686. In a moment, you'll get full access to the Drag

687. Race vault, where you'll rummage through materials from past seasons.

688. Now, you can use your own hair

689. accessories and undergarments, but the rest of

690. your look needs to be pulled deep

691. from within the annals of Drag Race herstory.

692. Oh, and just one more thing.

693. Tomorrow on the main stage.

694. Bring a bucket and a mop.

695. Because our extra special guest judge.

696. Is Cardi B.

697. Cardi B is in the motherfucking building.

698. I know that's right.

699. Racers, start your engines.

700. And may the best drag queen win.

701. So excited.

702. It's a design challenge.

703. This is og Drag Race, and I think it is

704. an incredible first challenge to see what everybody is made of.

705. Our first challenge is Reclaim, Renew, Rejoice.

706. We have to create couture looks using

707. unconventional materials from the Drag Race vault.

708. What the fuck?

709. We all run in like there's only one

710. piece of chicken left on the table at Thanksgiving.

711. Bitch.

712. I cannot.

713. Just grab sisters.

714. Just grab.

715. Look at this bob.

716. Jesus.

717. Oh, my God, there's sponges.

718. Oh, Monet, I love you, but we're going to leave the sponges at home.

719. I found Lexi's tarp, y'all.

720. Bitch, I don't even know what I grabbed.

721. Sorry about the mess.

722. Oh, girl.

723. Oh, my God!

724. Oh, my shit, bitch.

725. We're going to be sewing on day one.

726. It's crazy.

727. You know what?

728. I need to slip into something a little bit more comfortable.

729. Now, let's analyze what we have today.

730. I do design a lot of my garments, but I pay some very, very

731. talented people to make them for me because I know they'll do it better.

732. Oh, yeah.

733. Now, that's going to be pretty.

734. But, honey, I wasn't going to be the one to

735. show up on RuPaul's Drag Race not knowing how to sew.

736. Before I came here, I bought myself

737. 25 sewing classes, so I prepared for this.

738. I'm going to make something fierce out of these materials.

739. All right, let's get to sketching.

740. Girls.

741. Look what I found.

742. Stop.

743. I wonder if that's the one Ariana Grande wore.

744. Because it looks a little too small.

745. It smells a little like Ariana Grande.

746. Okay, Bitch, I'm trying to think.

747. Okay, let me see.

748. Girl.

749. I'm looking down at all the shit I have, and I'm like, oh.

750. Shit.

751. I grabbed no fabric.

752. I have a fucking rubber chicken and a fish,

753. pillows and a fucking beach hat with no fucking fabric.

754. Girl, I know how to sew, and I didn't grab nothing to sew with.

755. How did you find, like, your entire aesthetic in one go?

756. I said cheetah, box of black.

757. Yeah.

758. This is, like, so you.

759. My bag is filled with all of my favorites.

760. Leather chain and pompous grass.

761. I love designing shit.

762. I've just been, like, making costumes my entire life.

763. Really?

764. And then, like, I met my partner, and he's, like, sewer.

765. My partner and I, we consider ourselves the House of Addams, and we

766. are known back home for upcycling and for creating outfits out of scratch.

767. We want to show the world that you don't

768. have to have $100,000 to compete on Drag Race.

769. So I think we all know this challenge is mine.

770. What are you going to do?

771. Because I know you can sew.

772. I can sew with normal fabric, but this is a lot of, like.

773. Knock knock.

774. Knock on wood, baby.

775. Don't be like LaLa Ri, girl.

776. No.

777. Yeah.

778. I am making a paper bag look using the same materials as LaLa Ri.

779. Her fatal flaw was clearly that she didn't do anything to them.

780. She just glued them to her body.

781. So my challenge is how can I completely transform this material?

782. As an engineer, you have to have a plan before you can construct anything.

783. So I have to get that on paper to understand what direction I'm going.

784. I'm known for giving high drag, so my biggest

785. expectations is just to come with the wow factor.

786. Okay.

787. Talk to me, baby.

788. What do you want to do?

789. What do you want to be?

790. I have these umbrellas.

791. I have to speak to the fabric.

792. Let it speak to me.

793. We talk to each other.

794. Speak to me.

795. Speak to me, baby.

796. Talk to me.

797. Is it weird that I have to talk to the fabric?

798. I know.

799. You're like a dancing diva.

800. Uhu.

801. Are you going to make an outfit to dancing?

802. Or are you going to be.

803. I mean, I'm definitely going to stay with my.

804. Vibe.

805. I was going to say, aren't you mostly naked?

806. Right.

807. Listen, one.

808. One.

809. And then let me get the next one.

810. Put it.

811. Exactly.

812. I'm kind of winging it at this point because I

813. don't have a plan, but I will figure it out.

814. There we go, baby.

815. Now we're talking.

816. Ah.

817. I don't have a needle on my machine.

818. We're ready.

819. Now, I'm new to the whole sewing thing, so do I look

820. out for my girl, or do I push her aside and be this

821. mommy dearest of it all?

822. Sorry.

823. May need a needle.

824. Well, as they say on an airplane, you have to put

825. your mask on first before you put your child's mask on.

826. Anybody know how to put in a needle?

827. Yeah.

828. Can you help me out?

829. So sure.

830. Damn.

831. You really don't sew, huh?

832. There's something about Juicy that just makes you want to help her.

833. This will go with the flat side facing forward.

834. I mean, she looks like fucking Bambi.

835. I just want to see if it'll rouge.

836. Well, I think you have to put a

837. thread in the machine before it does anything.

838. I mean, it's my first time putting together a garment.

839. My family is no help in this situation, but I sat next to the right people.

840. Jane and DD Fuego are helping me tremendously right now.

841. What would you say your, like,

842. typical drag style aesthetic performance is like?

843. Very vintage, inspired.

844. But, like, try and give it enough of a twist that

845. it doesn't just feel like I'm dressed like an old lady.

846. Yeah.

847. I am a comedy queen, but I am also a huge fan of fashion.

848. For this challenge, I have this vision.

849. It's ambitious.

850. Like Mugler, Lady Miss Kier, Isaac Mizrahi,

851. "Unzipped",

852. Technicolor moments.

853. I finally lock down my design ideas.

854. It is completely made out of big, large hats that go around

855. my shoulder and be like, very, you know, sculpture and very high fashion.

856. Do you like this dramatic shoulder I'm making?

857. I do.

858. I decide to spray paint my lovely collar piece,

859. so I take it outside to spray paint it gold.

860. The hats fall apart.

861. Shit.

862. I don't even know what to fucking do.

863. Why are you feeling stressed?

864. What's wrong?

865. So I went outside to. My little shoulder

866. piece I was making to spray paint this shit.

867. When I was spray painting it, girl, it was literally falling apart.

868. Why was he falling apart?

869. Because.

870. I don't know.

871. Because God hates me right now.

872. I'm gonna have to rework this whole idea.

873. There's a chance that I can be the pork chop of the season.

874. There's no way.

875. I won the mini challenge, and I'm about to be in the bottom.

876. By the time the end of the day comes,

877. I just have one side of a rhinestone bra completed.

878. First challenge.

879. It's the first elimination day.

880. Today we are gonna walk the Runway and the looks

881. that we made and find out what the judges think.

882. I'm not feeling confident at all about this challenge.

883. I love to fuck up some pork chops, but I ain't trying to be one, baby.

884. Look.

885. What are you trying to serve on the Runway today?

886. I'm giving conceptual.

887. I'm giving florals in spring.

888. I'm giving.

889. So you're giving florals for spring.

890. Florals for spring.

891. Groundbreaking, groundbreaking.

892. Watching Athena craft all day yesterday?

893. Well, that's the thing.

894. She was going through it.

895. I helped her.

896. We all got to work on our outfits a little bit more last night,

897. and me and Athena, I thought, were

898. having a great sisterly moment, helping each other.

899. I would help her and she would give me spare materials.

900. And then when I didn't have any more capacity to

901. sew her some gloves, she started calling me a scammer.

902. Athena, these girls are talking about you.

903. I certainly am, you fucking cow.

904. Excuse me?

905. I'm talking about yesterday when you wanted me to make your glove.

906. Oh, no, no, no.

907. Don't get.

908. I did not want you to make anything for me.

909. You wanted all my supplies, first and foremost.

910. That is not true.

911. And you are full of shit, actually.

912. You kept coming over.

913. Are you gonna use that?

914. Are you gonna use this?

915. And I tried to make a trade with you.

916. Then all of a sudden decided she didn't

917. need the fabric, so she didn't make my gloves.

918. Was it to throw me off so I

919. didn't walk the Runway with the gloves I wanted?

920. Are you playing a dirty game, Briar?

921. Are you a bad kitty?

922. Bad kitty, kitty, kitty.

923. You kept coming to me for some help.

924. And you asked me to make you some gloves.

925. So don't you.

926. Help and advice are two separate things.

927. You could use both.

928. But you want credit for my whole garment.

929. I absolutely do not want credit for your garment.

930. So did you help or did you not?

931. I did help you, but I didn't help with your taste.

932. But my taste is fabulous.

933. I had a shower curtain to work with and it came out beautiful.

934. That's more fabric than I had.

935. Well, you wear less than me, with more to cover.

936. I don't know how that works.

937. Where does she get off?

938. I worked on my outfit all night and.

939. I got it to a place where.

940. it's something.

941. But let me tell you, I can sell anything.

942. Bitch, I can sell a plastic bag to a convenience store.

943. I will say, it felt really good to,

944. like, come into, like, the first challenge, like, swinging.

945. I'm really happy with my look.

946. I think it's, like, super cute, and it's very on brand.

947. So for this design challenge, I was like, wait, I'm a bedroom queen.

948. Like, sleepover, PJs, slumber party tees.

949. I like being crafty.

950. I'm really confident in that.

951. Like, I can turn a look with a hot glue gun.

952. But taking a look around the room, I'm

953. starting to get a little insecure about mine.

954. It's like two things happening at the same time, you know?

955. Like, I'm like, ooh, bitch, I just ate that up.

956. And then looking around the room and being like, oh, did I miss the memo?

957. But then looking around the room again and

958. being like, oh, no, I did eat it up.

959. You know what I mean?

960. It's like, you look like, oh, no, did I?

961. Oh, I did.

962. I am like I tew teeter on.

963. Obnoxiously confident.

964. I see that.

965. So, Ms.

966. Athena, how does it feel to have your daughter?

967. Girl?

968. How does it feel to be competing with her?

969. It's a weird thing.

970. It's an adjustment.

971. We are, like, best friends back home.

972. Really?

973. We do everything together.

974. We travel together, we work together.

975. Were you on Mykonos together?

976. I took her to Mykonos with me for, like, two years.

977. I am the premier hostess of the biggest

978. gay club in the summer in Mykonos in Greece.

979. Yes.

980. I was the iconic voice behind Lindsay Lohan's viral dance video In Mykonos.

981. Honey, this is how you throw a party in Mykonos, bitch.

982. Honey, this is how you throw a party in Mykonos, bitch.

983. It was me.

984. I was just off camera.

985. I can't wait to come party in Mykonos, bitch.

986. Let's go, honey.

987. We'll go right after here.

988. We're take a little vacation and we're going to go.

989. Juicy's claiming Mykonos right now.

990. I heard her walk in the Werkroom and say:

991. The party princess of Miami and Mykonos.

992. Keep it, Princess.

993. Sweetie, I don't think I'm gonna let anybody

994. forget who is the queen of Miami and Mykonos.

996. Yes.

997. Put a belt on that.

1103. Yes.

1106. When I got my materials for the look, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

1107. A kitty cat burlesque showgirl.

1108. Hey, kitty, kitty.

1109. My ears are made out of foam.

1110. And all the beading that you see dripping from

1111. my ears and my corset are all from a chandelier.

1112. I do believe that fashion can

1113. be fun, whimsical, and still feel sophisticated.

1114. What a nice pink tail.

1115. Mandy Mango.

1116. She can buy her own damn flowers.

1117. Well, actually, several of them.

1118. From head to toe, I am a basket of flowers.

1119. Outgrowing my container, I created a look that is giving wearable art.

1120. Just giving you a whole look and concept.

1121. Why, that's the biggest rosebud I've ever seen.

1122. Yeah, and it's on her head.

1126. Darlene has legs that are long.

1127. Honey, I've got my little babydoll nightgown, my sleep mask.

1128. And I made my little trash bear.

1129. What a better way to say that I'm a bedroom queen?

1130. Because if you stay ready for bed, you ain't got to get ready for bed.

1131. Myki Meeks.

1132. Arya Stark for Ethan Allen home furnishings.

1133. Curtains up.

1134. It's the academy award winning Myki Meeks.

1135. I am bringing some drama to the main stage.

1136. I'm wearing curtains and drapes and I'm swinging

1137. it like I'm the only girl on the stage.

1138. Cause I was.

1139. Just like the way it drapes.

1140. Yeah, well, do the drapes match the drapes?

1141. I guess we'll find out.

1142. Welcome, queens.

1143. Say hello to Cardi B.

1144. Hi!

1145. Hi!

1146. Now. I've made some decisions.

1147. When I call your name, please step forward.

1148. Athena Dion.

1149. Discord Addams.

1150. Mia Starr.

1151. DD Fuego.

1152. Briar Blush.

1153. Ciara Myst.

1154. Darlene Mitchell.

1156. Ladies, you are all safe.

1157. Oh, my God.

1158. Thank you.

1159. I am literally shocked.

1160. And you're never gonna convince me that I was just safe.

1161. You may leave the stage.

1162. Thanks, Cardi.

1163. Ladykins, you represent the tops and bottoms of the week.

1164. Now it's time for the judge's critiques.

1165. Starting with Kenya Pleaser.

1166. You are filled with stage presence and personality.

1167. However,

1168. The outfit's rough on a few levels.

1169. I actually love the bustier.

1170. I think it's super fun.

1171. But from the waist down, it just looks sloppy.

1172. It looks lopsided.

1173. The skirt is terrible.

1174. So if you know that your outfit is

1175. not great, you just gotta go nice up here.

1176. Glam is very important for the.

1177. It's true.

1178. It's true.

1179. Yeah.

1180. Because if the. If the outfit ain't great, the glam gotta give.

1181. Yes.

1182. Trust me, I know what I look like.

1183. I know, I know, girl.

1184. You knew we were gonna do a sewing challenge?

1185. Yeah.

1186. Why did you not come prepared?

1187. Well, I actually can sew.

1188. I made my entrance look and stuff.

1189. It was the unconventionalness of it all

1190. that really threw me for a fucking loop.

1191. But, you know, that's what this challenge is about.

1192. It's about giving you a situation where you have to work it out.

1193. Absolutely.

1194. All right, Kenya, thank you so much.

1195. Up next, Nini Coco.

1196. Tell me what your outfit is made out of.

1197. So I was inspired by LaLa Ri, and

1198. I took some gift bags and zhuzhed them up.

1199. Yeah, you really did zhuzh them up.

1200. Very polished, very pretty, very well accessorized.

1201. Like, I will wear this outside.

1202. Like, literally, I will wear this outfit outside.

1203. I love it.

1204. Also, I think you really understood the assignment.

1205. Reusing and renewing and rejoicing.

1206. And if I were a really smart queen, I

1207. would think, how am I going to stand out?

1208. Let's not make a dress out of fabric.

1209. Let's make it out of paper.

1210. You know, it's just so powerful.

1211. It's crisp.

1212. It looks great.

1213. You did it just right.

1214. Thank you.

1215. Up next.

1216. Some girls do, but Jane Don't.

1217. This just feels whimsical and celebratory and fun.

1218. I can tell that you can sew.

1219. This jacket is not easy.

1220. And I really love the hair.

1221. Like, I just.

1222. I love when people put effort.

1223. It's tea girl.

1224. I love it.

1225. I love it.

1226. You did that.

1227. Thank you so much.

1228. When did you learn how to sew?

1229. My dad taught me when I was in high school.

1230. Is your dad an alumni of our television program?

1231. I wish.

1232. He'd probably would talk to me.

1233. So you don't speak to your father, he doesn't speak to you.

1234. He's not great with like the gay thing.

1235. Why did your father know how to sew?

1236. He was in.

1237. He was like a boy scout and he

1238. would sew tents and sleeping bags to go camping.

1239. And now I'm using those skills to cross dress.

1240. Yes.

1241. Well, this is really well done.

1242. It is absolutely gorgeous.

1243. To get.

1244. to be able to do this and have it turn out and look good, it's really.

1245. Making me. look like a fool.

1246. No, don't.

1247. Don't judge yourself like that.

1248. And you did a great job, so you should be very proud of yourself.

1249. Thank you very much.

1250. Appreciate you.

1251. Thank you all.

1252. Up next, Juicy Love Dion.

1253. You remind me in the best way possible of a cartoon.

1254. Your face is so beautiful and your eyes are so wide set.

1255. Absolutely gorgeous.

1256. Okay, so this is why it's so important to learn how to like, sell.

1257. Because, like when you standing, it's ugly.

1258. It's just ugly.

1259. But when you went like this.

1260. Oh, it's kind of cute.

1261. I like it.

1262. I like it.

1263. I also like the bandeau top.

1264. I think the pleating and the ruching is really pretty.

1265. But the choker shortens your neck.

1266. And then the skirt as well.

1267. It doesn't have any volume.

1268. It's a little simple.

1269. The skirt.

1270. Like the skirt. Ugh, girl, what you was thinking with that skirt.

1271. I really hate the skirt.

1272. Up next, Vita VonTesse Star.

1273. This is glorious.

1274. Thank you.

1275. This is so classy.

1276. Was this whole thing made with umbrellas?

1277. Yes, ma'am.

1278. It was.

1279. I love it.

1280. And the way you have that one umbrella piece from your

1281. hip down to your toes is so pleasing to the eye.

1282. Also, sewing a geometric fabric like this and making it

1283. not look confusing and jumbled is very difficult to do.

1284. And then, like, the hair is perfect because it's

1285. like the outfit is busy, but the hair is like.

1286. You know what I'm saying?

1287. Like, I love it.

1288. Tense.

1289. Thank you, Vita.

1290. Thank you.

1291. Up next, Mdy Mango.

1292. You are adorable.

1293. However, it's just too rough around the edges and a little too messy.

1294. It's kind of uneven and coming apart.

1295. I think it's all about editing here.

1296. And I think removing that collar piece, you kind

1297. of didn't need, those trailing garlands at the hemline.

1298. The flowers in the bottom is insane.

1299. Oh, my God.

1300. I hate it.

1301. Heard.

1302. It's bad.

1303. But you're pretty.

1304. Thank you.

1305. Do you have any background in sewing at all?

1306. I do.

1307. Now that I'm working full time as a nurse and in school,

1308. getting my master's, I have a little less time to do that.

1309. Do you say you're working full time as a nurse?

1310. I am.

1311. I specialize in HIV and LGBTQ sexual health, so you'll

1312. find me in the clinic treating all of their gonorrhea.

1313. My day is typically a 9 to 5, and then 5

1314. to 9, I'm in. Wearing something a lot better than this.

1315. All right.

1316. Well, thank you very much, Mandy.

1317. Thank you.

1318. Gosh.

1319. I'm making me the villain judge.

1320. Thank you, queens.

1321. While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.

1322. All right, now, just between us squirrelfriends, what do you think?

1323. Starting with Kenya Pleaser.

1324. That look was very bland for me.

1325. It just didn't work.

1326. She could sell almost anything.

1327. Except that outfit.

1328. Nini Coco.

1329. She was serving cunt.

1330. She was serving classy.

1331. She was serving clean.

1332. And that's not easy to wear a

1333. paper garment, like, it could really look messy.

1334. This really worked.

1335. Jane Don't.

1336. Now, that outfit was constructed.

1337. The bustier, the dimensionality of the cup.

1338. Everything well done from a technical standpoint.

1339. And she sure learned from her dad.

1340. Yeah, the Oscar de la Renta of the Boy Scouts.

1341. Juicy Love Dion.

1342. I think Juicy is so beautiful.

1343. And I even love the top.

1344. Like, the skirt was such a turn off that it's like.

1345. It almost like you could have just do

1346. a regular blue panty and it wouldn't just go.

1347. Vita VonTeese Starr.

1348. For a moment, I forgot it was a

1349. design challenge where they only had very limited materials.

1350. It looked like one of her, like, best in drag outfits.

1351. It looked expensive.

1352. I can't say anything bad about it.

1353. It's just everything.

1354. I love it.

1355. Mandy Mango.

1356. So Cardi just said she doesn't have anything negative to say about Vita.

1357. Well, I don't have anything positive to say about Mandy.

1358. I don't necessarily mind how she put it

1359. together, you know, with the hot glue or whatever.

1360. What I minded was how messy it was.

1361. I know what that fabric is.

1362. It's like a woven, like, placemat material.

1363. Yeah, so it made that skirt look really

1364. bulky and rumply, like an old paper bag.

1365. But it's not even the material.

1366. It's the flower placement.

1367. It looked like she had a time at Michael's.

1368. It shouldn't even be looking like that, like.

1369. It's funny that she works in sexual

1370. health because she obviously has an FTD,

1371. and this look proves it.

1372. Silence.

1373. I have made my decision.

1374. Cardi B. Bring back my girls.

1375. Where they at?

1376. Honey, we are trying to gather ourselves after our very first critiques.

1377. And I'm sitting here in this Untucked lounge.

1378. I'm very, very scared of what my fate will be today.

1379. Am I going home?

1380. Again, there are people that are in the safe room that I was

1381. like, they could be out there, too, on both top and both bottom.

1382. So I'm like.

1383. So who do you think should have been in the bottom?

1384. Ladies.

1385. Let me introduce you to the dolls.

1386. Oh, my God.

1387. Not Tokyo.

1388. Oh, my God.

1389. It's not just Cardi.

1390. The whole glam squad is here today.

1391. OH MY GOD!

1392. Holy cow.

1393. Erika is Cardi's longtime makeup artist, and Tokyo StyleZ is one

1394. of the most iconic celebrity wig stylists in the fucking world.

1395. These are the dolls.

1396. The dolls!

1397. The dolls.

1398. I can't live without them.

1399. Literally.

1400. This is queer art at its finest.

1401. And to have an artist at your

1402. caliber incorporating our community into what you do.

1403. Thank you.

1404. And I learned a lot from y'all community.

1405. Like, I swear to God.

1406. Me watching RuPaul's Drag Race is how,

1407. like, I remember when I first started my

1408. transition, this is how I learned how

1409. to do makeup, was watching RuPaul's Drag Race.

1410. Okay.

1411. And then just seeing all the looks and stuff, it just always inspires me.

1412. Even her, like, I be like, we should do

1413. this and recreate this and do a different way, like,

1414. Gurl!

1415. You know, sometimes we bring the culture to the mainstream hip hop field.

1416. I don't care if people feel uncomfortable, whatever.

1417. Like, I do not care.

1418. These are my dolls.

1419. And though. Don't got it twisted the men been looking at her.

1420. They do, they do.

1421. I don't want to spill tea, you know what I am saying?

1422. Can I ask you a question, Cardi?

1423. Mm.

1424. So all of my sisters thought I was gonna be in the top.

1425. So can I know what you thought about me?

1426. You kind of wearing something that I will wear, so, yeah,

1427. Thank you.

1428. I like it.

1429. Bitch, that was my goal.

1430. If Cardi would wear that outfit, then why am I safe?

1431. I mean, if Cardi B said "Nini give me that orange

1432. zip tied outfit off of your body", I would pass away.

1433. I would wear this outfit outside.

1434. I love it.

1435. I would pass away.

1436. Some girls just did it better than the others.

1437. You know what I'm saying?

1438. I'm not even going to lie to you girls.

1439. Like, I might be the sweetest girl in

1440. the world, but I am a very tough judge.

1441. I don't want you to think that I'm bitchy

1442. or anything, but it's like, look at my teachers.

1443. These are my teachers.

1444. I just want to say, whatever is your fate, just remember

1445. that it is not the end and it's just a lesson.

1446. And I hope that you guys take

1447. your critique and don't get discouraged from it.

1448. Learn from it, you know what I'm saying?

1449. All right, y', all.

1450. We cannot keep RuPaul waiting.

1451. Y'all are not gonna get me in trouble with no damn RuPaul.

1452. Okay?

1453. What I'm saying.

1454. Sashay away.

1455. Yeah!

1456. Wow.

1457. The party is over, and it's time to go to the

1458. main stage and find out who won and who's going home.

1459. Welcome back, queens.

1460. I've made some decisions.

1461. I need you, Jesus.

1462. Nini Coco.

1463. Your paper look was money, honey.

1464. Jane Don't.

1465. Your suit was a toot.

1466. Vita VonTeese Star.

1467. Your umbrella look

1468. made us wet.

1469. Jane Don't.

1470. You are safe.

1471. You may join the other girls.

1472. Congratulations.

1473. Kenya.

1474. We love your personality, but your look. Was not a pleaser.

1475. Juicy Love Dion.

1476. Your face was sitting,

1477. but your look. Was ill fitting.

1478. Mandy Mango

1479. You're a beautiful queen, but your floral fixation

1480. left us limp.

1481. This is a lot.

1482. Like, it's a lot.

1483. I'm getting emotional.

1484. Like, I'm so scared.

1485. Tell me about it.

1486. Juicy Love Dion.

1487. You are safe.

1488. You may step to the back of the stage.

1489. Thank you, Mother.

1490. I cannot believe I caught myself in this position.

1491. And boy, do I never want to be here again.

1492. Kenya Pleaser,

1493. Mandy Mango,

1494. you are the bottom queens of the week.

1495. But.

1496. And it's a big butt, Cardi.

1497. Bigger than mine.

1498. No one is going home tonight.

1499. Oh, my God.

1500. Oh, thank you, Jesus.

1501. I feel so relieved.

1502. I'm just so, so grateful to be here for another week.

1503. I'm gagging.

1504. I'm gagging.

1505. I'm gagging.

1506. This is too much.

1522. But.

1523. And it's a big butt.

1524. There can only be one winner.

1525. Two queens stand before me.

1526. Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare

1527. a lip sync performance of "Enough" by Cardi B.

1528. Ladies, this is your chance to impress me

1529. and win a cash prize

1530. of $5,000.

1531. That's a lot of shoes.

1532. Cardi B is about to watch me perform her song.

1533. I'm trying to keep it cool, but on the inside, I am exploding.

1534. The time has come

1535. for you to lip sync.

1536. For.

1537. the win.

1538. Ooh, we are in for a show.

1539. Good luck.

1540. And don't.

1542. Let's go.

1543. Yes, bitch

1544. Come on.

1545. Let's go.

1546. That was so fun.

1547. Can I be like a judge?

1548. Forever?

1549. Permanently?

1550. Queens.

1551. I've made my decision.

1552. Nini Coco, condragulations.

1553. You're a winner, baby.

1554. I am feeling over the fucking moon.

1555. Wow.

1556. You've won a cash prize of 5,000 doulas.

1557. I have the first win.

1558. I showed up and I delivered.

1559. This is what I came here to do.

1560. Vita, you are free to slay another day.

1561. I'll take that.

1562. Condragulations, queens.

1563. And remember, if you can't love yourself,

1564. how in hell you gonna love somebody else?

1565. Can I get an amen up in here?

1566. Amen.

1567. All right, now, let the music play.

1568. Raja.

1569. Less drinking, more pedaling.

1573. It burns.

1574. Technicolor queen, you better shine on.

1575. I'm not that worried. About me.

1576. You were a rock star.

1577. Girl, you were stiff as a dick.

1578. It's the survival of the fittest, honey, and.

1579. If you ain't fit, pack your shit.

1580. Oh, shit.
