RuPaul's Drag Race 1x2

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

2. Today's challenge is Drag on a Dime.

3. What the hell am I supposed to do

4. with this crap?

5. Gentlemen, start your engines.

6. Oh it is severe up in here.

7. Tammie Brown's in town.

8. Nina Flowers.

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

10. Akashia, Victoria, the time has come

11. for you to lip sync for your life.

12. Akashia, chante, you stay.

13. Thank you Victoria.

14. Now sashay away.

15. And tonight...

16. I'm gonna have to put my balls

17. behind my frickin' body today.

18. Shut the fuck up.

19. The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race

20. will receive a feature photo spread

21. in paper magazine,

22. a portrait taken by renowned photographer Greg Gorman

23. for the L.A. Eyeworks Legendary Designer Eyewear campaign,

24. a headline spot on the Absolut Pride Tour across the USA,

25. plus a cash prize of $20,000

26. courtesy of Absolut Vodka and MAC Cosmetics.

27. May the best woman win.

28. Today is the beginning of another challenge

29. and of course no one knows exactly

30. what that challenge is gonna be.

31. So a lot of anticipation, although sad

32. because Miss Victoria Parker was sent home,

33. so there is now eight of us instead of nine of us.

34. Coming in today without Victoria,

35. it was a sigh of relief for me.

36. I was in the bottom two.

37. I have to step up my game.

38. Do you think you deserve to stay?

39. I do, and I think that's why I'm here.

40. I don't think Akashia is so much as a threat,

41. she's just trying to play the bitch role.

42. And I don't think it's gonna work out to her favour.

43. Hey racers.

44. At the heart of every drag queen is a great performer.

45. Someone with an irrepressible talent

46. that can steal the spotlight,

47. even when she's just the third girl from the left.

48. This is your chance to show the world

49. just what kind of Spice Girl you really are.

50. Are you Diana Ross?

51. Oh hey.

52. Or just a Supreme?

53. What!

54. Time will tell.

55. Actions speak louder than words.

56. Hello hello hello!

57. Congratulations on making it to week two

58. of RuPaul's Drag Race.

59. This is no time to relax and untuck.

60. You know, drag is about a lot of things.

61. The perfect outfit, the perfect makeup,

62. the perfect wig.

63. But at the end of the day,

64. it's what's doing on inside that really counts.

65. And when people look at you,

66. if they can connect with what's going on

67. behind the eyes,

68. they won't care about what's going on

69. between the thighs.

70. Okay pit crew, bring in the cameras.

71. Today's mini challenge is all about self-expression.

72. I'll call out several scenarios,

73. and each time I do you must strike a pose

74. and take a picture of yourself.

75. Now I'm looking for the full range of emotions.

76. Cameras up!

77. Your first pose is, you just found out

78. your $10,000 Louis Vuitton bag is a fake.

79. Next, sad news.

80. Cher just announced she's retiring for real.

81. He was happy!

82. Yes.

83. She's never gonna retire,

84. she's gonna be 92 just

85. Thank you.

86. Now last.

87. This is the last one.

88. Somebody cut the cheese.

89. Ladies, cameras down.

90. I've made my decision.

91. The winner of this challenge is...

92. Ongina.

93. But wait, there's more.

94. There are actually two winners to this challenge.

95. And the second winner is...

96. Akashia.

97. Excuse me?

98. You took a risk, and it paid off.

99. Especially when it came to the Cher thing.

100. 'Cause we're all Cher fans

101. and you were happy that Cher was retiring.

102. Ongina and Akashia.

103. You girls really popped in your photo sessions.

104. And that's a good thing.

105. Because your main challenge this week

106. is all about pop music.

107. Yes!

108. You're going to form two rival girl groups.

109. You'll take turns choosing your team.

110. One will be in charge of choreography,

111. one will be in charge of hair,

112. one will be in charge of makeup,

113. and one will be in charge of costumes.

114. I was relieved to find out that Akashia was a team captain,

115. because I saw her lip sync performance

116. and it wasn't the best.

117. And I really didn't want that in my group.

118. Ongina.

119. Pick your first group member.

120. I would like Shanelle.

121. Holler.

122. I choose Jade.

123. Walk it out, lady.

124. I would like Miss Nina.

125. Bebebe.

126. Bebe!

127. I want Rebecca.

128. Alright, well that means that

129. Tammie is on Akashia's team.

130. I'm with the black girls.

131. I really did not want Tammie.

132. Me and Tammie have personalities that clash.

133. The reason I was chosen last

134. is because Akashia didn't fully feel comfortable with me.

135. And I think people don't know how to understand my character.

136. You'll be judged as a group and individually.

137. So you'll have to work together,

138. while finding your own moment in the spotlight.

139. Which I know won't be a problem for most of you.

140. Each group will perform for the judges

141. on the main stage.

142. My pit crew will be here shortly

143. with supplies from Michael Levine Fabrics

144. and wigs from Rene of Paris.

145. Now, the judges will be looking for your charisma...

146. Uniqueness, nerve, and talent.

147. And finally, here are two songs.

148. I'll let you decide which group performs which song.

149. You will have one day to prepare.

150. Gentlemen, start your engines.

151. And may the best woman win.

152. When I ran up to the envelopes,

153. I feel Akashia's hand grab mine,

154. so I couldn't even like grab any of the envelopes.

155. Help me my teammates, come on!

156. Guys guys guys guys.

157. Akashia.

158. Sabotage.

159. Some of the girls think that Akashia might be

160. a little mean-spirited.

161. Maybe if she was nicer and the girls liked her,

162. they wouldn't be rooting for her to go home.

163. We're doing Independent Woman,

164. you guys are doing Say My Name.

165. Every single member of the team was asssigned

166. to do something different.

167. I'm relying for every single one of you

168. to tell me your creative process.

169. Shanel was assigned to do makeup.

170. Our visual should be very feminine.

171. Feminine, girly, with a little fish,

172. but with that little sexy...

173. Ongina, she is doing the choreography.

174. I'm gonna do it really easy,

175. but there's gonna be technicalities to it.

176. Rebecca is working on the outfits.

177. Out of the makeup and the hair,

178. that's how I'm gonna be able to work.

179. I was assigned to do the hair.

180. My only concern is that every one of us is different.

181. I will wear hair.

182. I'm flexible.

183. I don't usually wear wigs,

184. that's the difference between me and other drag queens,

185. but last week the judges told me I look like a boy in a dress.

186. And I wanted to elevate that this week

187. to not so much boy in a dress, but drag queen in a dress.

188. You're gonna do costumes, since you sew.

189. And sewing's not my strong point, clearly,

190. from the challenge.

191. Clearly.

192. You're gonna do hair, 'cause I can't do hair.

193. I can do the makeup, you get the choreography down

194. 'cause you're a dancer.

195. No sabotage while working together,

196. and I think that that's probably the fairest game.

197. It is a group competition, but at the same time

198. being judged separately, you have to consider...

199. Everyone's style.

200. So what are you saying?

201. You can make costumes, right?

202. And you don't have to actually sew them,

203. you can take them like this and you knot them together.

204. You know, I like your style,

205. I think we should do one skirt.

206. That really hurt, like I was third wheel.

207. Felt like being back in high school, perhaps.

208. It's not like I'm some amateur.

209. It really, really sucked.

210. You shouldn't act too frustrated.

211. I'm not acting frustrated.

212. If you all would listen to what I had to say,

213. then it would be easier for me,

214. but you're telling me what to do, you're directing me,

215. and I can't, you know?

216. Akashia is the group leader,

217. but she wanted to throw a little attitude

218. and kind of like take charge,

219. and that's when it starts getting a little bit personal.

220. You know what?

221. Whatever.

222. She's not a leader, she's slamming me down.

223. Just slamming my ideas down.

224. Me and Ongina won the mini challenge,

225. which made us both captains to form two girl groups.

226. We are doing a production number

227. of one of Destiny's Child's songs.

228. What kind of wigs?

229. What colours, first, are we thinking?

230. Oh, here we go.

231. I see good wigs.

232. In comes the pit crew with fabrics

233. and hair and accessories and everything.

234. You can't choose right now.

235. Who said?

236. Who said?

237. I don't know.

238. Alright, but let's not get catty,

239. let's not get catty.

240. It's not that serious, just grab it.

241. Hold on girl, let me work.

242. Make sure you get the brown one.

243. High five, group.

244. They're all the same, practically.

245. I was in charge of working on the hair.

246. The first thing that came to my mind

247. was really big hair with a lot of volume.

248. I'd like, maybe one dark, do you think,

249. so we that we're all exact opposites.

250. What do you think?

251. Another thing is do you want to keep them long,

252. or are you thinking to cut 'em?

253. And to do something short and fun and like...

254. Shannel has a lot of experience,

255. but she can come across as a little bit arrogant.

256. The thing is that if everybody has something to say

257. about what each and every one of us has to do,

258. the creativity, it shuts down,

259. and then there is no way to work with it.

260. We need to trust each other.

261. Let's start with the costume girl.

262. Finish, talk, that's the

263. If we had capes on, right, with the brown.

264. I don't think we need to have capes,

265. Plus we don't have enough yards.

266. Well we never know.

267. 'Cause the capes we could make a necklace, right,

268. around our neck.

269. And then we could have the cape that attaches to the back.

270. Girl, I don't think we want a cape at all.

271. That's easy.

272. It will hang like real pretty.

273. Since I am leader of the group,

274. I get the final say.

275. I'm like, "Tammie, the cape's out."

276. We have to still look like Destiny's Child.

277. That's the point.

278. Akashia is the director,

279. Akashia is the producer, Akashia is in charge of the group.

280. She's Beyonce.

281. Well I felt Tammie

282. because she was getting shot down a lot by Bebe and Akashia.

283. I'm not the group captain, so I couldn't back her up.

284. This competition needs a bitch

285. and that bitch is me, and I'm happy with that.

286. I tell it how it is and I'm fierce.

287. I'm doing a diagram of what I want to work,

288. and I'm writing down the key products in our MAC makeup box.

289. I was chosen as the makeup artist,

290. which was probably the best decision.

291. When it comes to the ability to be able to

292. character illusionize makeup on someone's face,

293. I serve that up well.

294. I'm gonna make one of these for each of you.

295. I'm gonna give you a packet with eight of the size 20 AB stones.

296. And this is exactly where they should be put.

297. I came here to win.

298. Anything that is thrown at me, I can do,

299. and I will do with excellence.

300. Do I have a great opportunity to win this?

301. Absolutely I do.

302. So Bebe, I know how much you love me

303. and you want to be like me,

304. so your makeup is gonna look just like mine.

305. I'm thinking Tammie, we could give you a brown lid,

306. like bedroom-ish.

307. Akashia, she gave me a makeup plan

308. and it just had three eyeshadows on it,

309. and the colours of the eyeshadow.

310. What am I supposed to do with this?

311. I'm just worried about the eyes.

312. So I had to keep on asking her,

313. well, what colour blush you want?

314. Do you want black eyeliner?

315. Do you want lower lashes?

316. And I shouldn't have to do that.

317. Look at me, being a makeup artist.

318. I never thought I'd see the day.

319. Run 'em through again the outfits

320. you were gonna make for everyone.

321. Well I already know what I'm gonna do for Nina,

322. I'm gonna give her sleeves and you know,

323. everything's gonna be tight to the body.

324. How would you feel like if you weren't all midriff here,

325. but you had material coming down your body?

326. But with maybe some cut out on the side.

327. No.

328. No cut outs for me.

329. Okay.

330. And then this is gonna be Ongina.

331. It's gonna be like this.

332. I'm gonna give you my breasts.

333. Okay.

334. With the nylon?

335. There you go.

336. Tits on a sling.

337. I'm dying to perform onstage

338. because honestly, you can run through choreography

339. a thousand times,

340. but if you don't go through it on that stage,

341. with the music, with the lights, it's not the same.

342. Listen listen listen.

343. You girls have to understand this part.

344. The left right left right.

345. Okay?

346. My area of expertise is dance.

347. I think the way that I'll shine is by not outdoing my team.

348. If I go out and do it to my full potential,

349. and as good as I look and as good as I'll perform,

350. it'll just look like I'm outdoing my team.

351. Girls, we have to do this the same

352. 'cause it looks a little sloppy.

353. I believe that Tammie will have some difficulty

354. adapting to different styles.

355. I should be more sexy.

356. Go back baby, go back.

357. From what I've seen so far,

358. she has a unique style, but just one dimension.

359. One, two, just stay there, real simple, one, two.

360. No no no, it's a roll.

361. I'm really not into any of these songs,

362. but as an entertainer I'm gonna do my best.

363. My ear is just not even in my ear.

364. What's going on here?

365. The music wasn't in my ear,

366. so I didn't know what was going on.

367. Let's start again.

368. Let's not even waste time, let's start again.

369. Akashia is the group leader,

370. but when it came down to my part,

371. where you assigned me as choreographer,

372. okay now you need to shut up and listen to

373. what I'm telling you to do.

374. And one, two.

375. If I'm facing this way,

376. and then I have to turn this way.

377. You're here, she's here,

378. and all we're doing is switching sides boom boom,

379. okay baby, so you should be here.

380. Right.

381. Which, no no no...

382. I'm going to put myself into the choreography

383. and let it shine, that's what I'm gonna do.

384. I can't speak for the others.

385. I love this hair.

386. Shannel, what do you think?

387. Honestly, I'm not that crazy about it.

388. That's my personal opinion.

389. Not because I don't like the hair.

390. This hair to me is very Texas pageant,

391. and our outfits are very like teenybopper.

392. Stripper wear.

393. So I feel like we're taking two extremes.

394. Our look was completely unrealistic,

395. the hair, the costuming.

396. So I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to

397. achieve with all of the girls exactly what I wanted

398. in order to create a very cohesive look.

399. I just, I don't want to be taking your job away,

400. and I feel like I'm causing a problem when I'm not.

401. Well you did.

402. You did.

403. Let me just say you just did, you know.

404. I understand your point, but there's nothing I can do.

405. I did what I could do and what I know to do and...

406. Girl, relax, just...

407. That hair would have to be completely redone on you.

408. Shut the fuck up.

409. Honestly, think about it.

410. We're the dream team.

411. We shouldn't be going through this shit.

412. We should be finishing the outfit

413. and making fierce choreography and kicking ass.

414. Can I work on you while you're doing this?

415. I'm not putting hair on my head

416. without a face on.

417. Come on.

418. I am not.

419. I need help though.

420. Be a champ.

421. Girl, put it on a wig head.

422. That's what they're for.

423. I don't do that.

424. We had just hours to go

425. out and present this wonderful package,

426. and things were really not going as swift

427. as they should be.

428. Akashia, all she's done has drawn out the sketches

429. of what our makeup is for tomorrow,

430. and it's not like she's doing all of our makeup.

431. She still hasn't done anything else.

432. Come with me, while she puts this thread in.

433. Okay.

434. Let me know when you're done with that.

435. So, there's a lot of weight

436. on me and Tammie's shoulders right now.

437. It's a heavy load to be doing four costumes.

438. The ideas that I pitched at first weren't taken in,

439. so I had to take their lead and do what they want,

440. and we're on a tight time schedule

441. so that seems to be kind of crazy.

442. Hello hello hello!

443. Hi!

444. Somebody just cut the cheese?

445. Oh dear.

446. Ongina.

447. Hi!

448. I saw you over there practicing.

449. Okay, teach me a few steps

450. even though I've got two left feet.

451. You want to step out, then over,

452. then jump like this and slide.

453. Oh yeah, like...

454. See?

455. And then step out, and then out here,

456. and then shimmy shimmy shimmy.

457. Oh yeah, that's a lot in a short amount of time.

458. I'm a little bit worried.

459. No, don't be worried.

460. RuPaul, who's an amazing performer,

461. is telling me that it's a little difficult.

462. And so I was a little scared.

463. What I've done is I created a full face chart,

464. I actually have done one for every single person,

465. they're exactly the same.

466. They're your face, aren't they?

467. Well no, well yes but no.

468. Yes but no I guess.

469. Between you and me,

470. and I know you're from Vegas, did you bring in some beads

471. so you could put 'em out on stage for the other girls

472. like in Showgirls?

473. I would never ever ever.

474. Miss Tammie Brown is makin' a gown.

475. Yes RuPaul, I am.

476. This is beautiful.

477. This is Jade's design.

478. So are you in charge of the costumes,

479. or are they telling you what to do?

480. Well I'm a little worker girl.

481. I'm kinda behind the scenes cooking and cleaning,

482. taking care of the house.

483. So your'e this drag Cinderella.

484. I'm the Dragerella.

485. And I keep sewing.

486. Okay.

487. One of the things that the judges are gonna be looking for

488. is how well you did with the costumes.

489. Are you concerned that your'e not really taking charge?

490. I am taking charge.

491. I got that one halfway done over there Tootsie Pop.

492. Ooh, look at that.

493. This one's yours?

494. This one's mine.

495. It's very short, isn't it?

496. It is short, but sometimes I can get short too.

497. People don't know that.

498. Can you get jiggy?

499. I can get jiggy.

500. I can get jiggy and wiggy.

501. Okay, alright.

502. I'm scared of you.

503. So what is the overall theme for the group

504. in terms of costume?

505. Sexy, exotic, get your freak on,

506. get down, do the booty scooty.

507. Okay.

508. The fashion vision for our team is sexy whores.

509. So you are group leader Akashia

510. and in charge of makeup.

511. This is true.

512. Are you worried

513. that really everybody's on their own path?

514. Do you feel like you're really leading them?

515. I orchestrated what I wanted

516. and then I went back

517. and asked them again if this was okay,

518. if this was okay and this was okay.

519. Well at the end of the day,

520. the judges are gonna be looking at you

521. as their leader though.

522. Alright dolls, gather round my lovelies.

523. I've got a little announcement to make.

524. Come on over.

525. I'm about to introduce you to

526. one of Destiny's legendary children.

527. In walks Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child.

528. And my jaw dropped.

529. Oh, I was so just shocked.

530. Her shoes were sickening, her dress was amazing,

531. she was so small petite and she was so sweet.

532. Michelle, can you handle this?

533. I don't know, I think so.

534. I don't think...

535. you can handle this!

536. Now Michelle is gonna be

537. your extra special guest judge tomorrow.

538. Now Michelle, you know a thing or two about

539. being in a girl group, don't you?

540. Yes sir.

541. Yes yes yes yes yes.

542. Any advice for our dolls?

543. Just serve up a big platter of fierceness.

544. But the main thing is respect each other.

545. We are so excited you're here.

546. Thank you for having me.

547. I can't wait.

548. Yes, yes.

549. Alright, now dolls.

550. showtime.

551. When you'll be performing for Michelle Williams

552. and the judges.

553. Now make me proud, and remember: don't fuck it up.

554. We're not only performing a song

555. with choreography that's brand new,

556. but we're also doing it for one of Destiny's Children,

557. Michelle Williams.

558. So it puts a little bit more pressure on the situation.

559. Let's go listen to your new album.

560. Alright, let's go.

561. Bye ladies.

562. We're all kind of stressed out right now

563. trying to figure out exactly how this is gonna come about.

564. And we're really worried

565. because we have really tough competition.

566. Alright guys, rehearsal.

567. Rehearsal.

568. Rehearsal time.

569. I'm gonna run through it once.

570. In my group, I have choreography,

571. so we're all kind of stressed out right now.

572. This is the dance.

573. Whoa.

574. What just happened?

575. I'll just run through it.

576. Is it hard?

577. Yeah.

578. That looks very complex.

579. You need to really slow it down when you're showing it.

580. I am a very versatile entertainer,

581. I am a character illusionist,

582. I am a comedian and I'm a showgirl.

583. However, I am not a choreographed dancer.

584. Baby.

585. But you're backwards.

586. Oh yeah, that's right.

587. Sorry.

588. My biggest fear about tomorrow's performance

589. would be me being the one to screw up

590. any choreography on stage.

591. So as soon as she crosses, no no, back,

592. like just like this.

593. You're back here with me.

594. I have a little bit of a challenge

595. because I'm not very good at choreography.

596. I'm going to get blamed if we lose,

597. just because I'm team captain.

598. And I swear to God if I do, I'm gonna cut someone.

599. This morning we get up

600. and we're coming to the workroom,

601. and I am feeling a little frustrated.

602. I need some liquor.

603. Uh, Miss Thing, Miss Akashia,

604. you have to start working honey,

605. we don't have that much time, honey.

606. I was trying to exert some leadership

607. because Akashia was a little lacking.

608. How is yours underneath?

609. Is it sewn, or is it you have to hot glue?

610. Mine's everything, mine's done.

611. Mine is done.

612. It was just a lot of last minute things

613. that had to be done.

614. Just spent a lot of time piecing my own costume together

615. last minute.

616. Did you take this in?

617. I'm gonna take it in again.

618. In realness, they are really, really big.

619. The mood in the workroom as the two teams are preparing

620. is actually very separate.

621. I think I forgot my pants today.

622. As always.

623. Okay, really.

624. And I really wanted to wear short shorts,

625. so I needed to make sure that I didn't have manel toe,

626. which is the male version of a camel toe.

627. I'm gonna have to put my balls behind my frickin' body today.

628. I don't really tuck as a drag queen,

629. I try and avoid it just because it hurts.

630. I got a whole roll of duct tape with your name on it, kitten.

631. Alright.

632. And the Gorilla kind, you know,

633. the kind that will hang an airplane from the ceiling.

634. I'm going to have a real vagina mama.

635. Okay so technically right now,

636. we're all supposed to be doing our makeup, right?

637. Because we're supposed to be on stage in an hour and a half.

638. No.

639. Yeah.

640. Well I can't do my makeup

641. if my hair is not ready.

642. We don't need this pressure.

643. We don't need this pressure.

644. This morning in the workroom

645. we were given an hour and a half time frame

646. to complete everything.

647. There was definitely a high level of stress,

648. and obviously no one wants to go home.

649. Hey, did you guys come up with a name yet?

650. We named our group Serving Fish

651. because it was the best that we could come up with.

652. We're about to re-dicsuss it.

653. But you know, I think I might just take my authority

654. in this one.

655. Dancing Drag Queen Divas.

656. 3-D.

657. And just call it...

658. Nuh-uh.

659. Girl, it's a group.

660. You cannot take authority team leader

661. to mean authority to decide what we want to become.

662. Yes it is.

663. We're called The Golden Holes.

664. Tammie, at awkward spontaneous times,

665. says the things where I have no clue

666. where she comes up with.

667. Thank you, I'm coming, my little African cherry.

668. Just

669. I don't know where the confusion comes from.

670. I'm just a different person from everybody else

671. and I'm on planet nine, they're on planet three.

672. No, I'm not having the best of the day,

673. I'll be honest with you.

674. Oh, just because I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

675. My biggest fear is my anxiety.

676. I had a nightmare, and I didn't wake up.

677. I really don't like this kind of edge of competing,

678. it's weird and I don't like being here.

679. This just makes me angry, you know.

680. I'm tired too, it makes me angry.

681. It's just, it's been really hard.

682. It's a little frustrating

683. when no one's agreeing and there's a time limit.

684. Okay, why did you bring this shadow up,

685. round like that?

686. We're bringing our colours out.

687. I know, I'm trying.

688. Oh I know, I know.

689. And my stomach has a lot of butterflies.

690. I'm hoping that everybody else is able to do the makeup

691. that I have put on the face charts for them.

692. Do your lips, put on lashes,

693. and then when I'm finished, which will be very shortly,

694. I will go back in.

695. Okay?

696. Good evening and welcome to the main stage

697. of RuPaul's Drag Race.

698. I'd like to say hi to my fabulous judges.

699. Fashion journalist

700. and bestselling author, Merle Ginsberg.

701. Loving the Ru in blue.

702. Thank you darling.

703. The shamelessly outspoken designer, Santino.

704. Great to be here Ru.

705. Our guest judge this week

706. is five-time MTV award winning director, choreographer,

707. Frank Gatson.

708. How you doing, Ru?

709. Hi darling.

710. Good to see you again.

711. And our extra special guest judge this week,

712. is singer, songwriter, and one of Destiny's chosen children,

713. please welcome Michelle Williams.

714. Hello.

715. Thank you Ru for having me today.

716. You're so welcome.

717. Now judges, this is gonna be fun.

718. Gentlemen, start your engines.

719. May the best woman win!

720. I sucked.

721. I suck in this challenge.

722. If I wouldn't have immunity,

723. I would definitely would have been on the bottom two.

724. When I was on stage, all I was thinking was

725. I hope they get it and I hope I get it,

726. because I can mess up too.

727. I am amazed at myself.

728. I had my hand really in a lot of the entire package

729. of what we did.

730. In my mind, I've already won.

731. Wow dolls.

732. It was hard, I knew it was gonna be hard for me.

733. I wish I could have been a little more loose.

734. I know I have rhythm and I can dance

735. and I was sockin' it in parts of the song.

736. And then other parts I fell out of the choreography.

737. Good work angels.

738. Well dolls, good job.

739. Serving Fish, let's start with your group.

740. Merle, what'd you think?

741. Rebecca, I think you're giving great face,

742. but you gonna give a little more body.

743. I was constantly kinda drawn to you Nina,

744. not having the choreography and the lip syncing down perfectly,

745. I think that having immunity this week

746. probably helps you a great deal.

747. Ongina, I do think the little hot pants

748. are getting a little too Ongina.

749. Yeah, I actually had a really big problem with that

750. because I never usually tuck.

751. But I had the idea of wearing hot pants

752. just because I like my booty cheeks.

753. I did have her duct taped though today.

754. Yeah, it hurts right now, but you know what,

755. I'm doing okay.

756. So you really are serving fish?

757. We are.

758. And I'd like to add, in all honesty,

759. Ongina being our team leader

760. was absolutely exceptional.

761. When girl groups start out,

762. they all sound so wonderful like that,

763. but what I want to know is which one of you all is crazy

764. and is gonna break up the group.

765. Now I know that Shannel was in charge

766. of makeup.

767. You guys look fantastic.

768. I love the makeup.

769. What were you in charge of, Rebecca?

770. I was in charge of costuming.

771. They are gorgeous costumes.

772. Now Nina, you were in charge of hair.

773. You put a wig on our little baby girl next door.

774. Did she fight you with that at all?

775. Well I'm going fish, you're wearing a wig.

776. And we all cooperate, so it was great.

777. Alright ladies, I have a tough question to ask you.

778. If one of you has to go, who should it be?

779. I would throw myself under the bus

780. because I was the team leader.

781. I think that the weakest link in my group was me.

782. If it was not because of I had immunity,

783. definitely I should go home.

784. It's honestly next to impossible for me

785. to answer that question

786. the way I know you want it to be answered.

787. I want it answered honestly.

788. If you said, "I'm getting rid of all these bitches,"

789. I would accept that.

790. Only based on the fact that

791. she has immunity, I would say Nina.

792. Rebecca.

793. I don't know.

794. This is really hard.

795. But I would have to say Shannel.

796. Okay.

797. And why?

798. Shannel is here to kill.

799. And she would be my biggest competition.

800. And I love you.

801. I love you too, baby.

802. Mwah.

803. You're goin' down.

804. No, just kidding.

805. 3D.

806. We're gonna start with Michelle Williams.

807. How much time do I have?

808. Akashia.

809. Lead singer got to be able to do it all

810. and fall back into the choreography.

811. And since the choreography was so simple,

812. if I was you I would have been pulling Jade aside,

813. saying "Hey, I need you to help me

814. with this choreography."

815. I'm just telling you what I'd do and tell you that,

816. 'cause that's why I'm here.

817. And that's the thing about being humble too,

818. it's no problem saying "Hey, I'm not good with the choreography,

819. can you give me five or ten extra minutes

820. on nailing something."

821. But I didn't tell you nothing that I don't do myself.

822. See you guys are making it seem like

823. I was horrible with the choreography,

824. and I brought it.

825. Do I have security?

826. She reminds me of female professional dancers.

827. Okay, they use the asshole like that.

828. But a lot of times they can back it up with the movement

829. and they hit it.

830. So that's why we hire them.

831. Because a lot of female dancers that are really really good,

832. they're full of shit.

833. Okay?

834. And they act just like this.

835. If you're gonna be that, you better bring it.

836. Just bring it.

837. Because if you can bring it, you can be the biggest bitch

838. in the world.

839. Talk about like a bad apple spoiling the whole group.

840. You just like radiate a bad energy.

841. It kinda reminds me of Dawn Robinson in En Vogue,

842. you know, which is not a good thing.

843. Bebe, I thought you really shone.

844. It's the first time I've really watched you,

845. and I thought you kind of came out of the shadows.

846. Jade, the choreography,

847. that part was maybe the most cohesive element

848. of your entire performance together.

849. Tammie, you're completely out of your element here,

850. and you know it.

851. This is totally not your world.

852. But when you're doing someone's choreography,

853. don't give me the impression that you're making fun of it.

854. You understand?

855. Because I'm pretty sure Jade as a choreographer

856. wants her choreography to be portrayed

857. the way that she saw it.

858. Okay?

859. I appreciate that you made some sacrifices

860. with your image

861. and you stretched it out,

862. but you kinda got lost in the mix with this group.

863. They're very strong.

864. These aren't the kind of songs I like to do,

865. I'm sorry.

866. That's why it's a challenge, Tammie.

867. Well I did what I did.

868. Thank you judges.

869. And ladies, while you all wait in the Interior Illusions Lounge,

870. the judges and I will deliberate.

871. Thank you.

872. Okay, let's talk about Ongina.

873. I thought she was great.

874. Choreographer is supposed to not make stuff

875. look like a hot mess,

876. they're supposed to have the eye to see and make it tight.

877. And what did you think of Rebecca?

878. She just needs to take more risks

879. with some of her movements.

880. Okay, and Nina.

881. Nina, I think, went too far in the direction

882. of individuality

883. and was still doing her punk-goth thing

884. when you needed to do modern girl group.

885. But I have to give her props

886. for becoming more feminine.

887. She covered up her tats.

888. Everybody keeps talking about how beautiful Rebecca is

889. and she is beautiful, but so is Shannel.

890. And those eyes are just killing me.

891. She is probably like the one to beat.

892. She's almost too competitive,

893. because she's really angling in there

894. and it shows around the edges.

895. I think a good competitor kinda may sit back a little bit.

896. Alright, so Michelle, Akashia.

897. What do you think?

898. She's waitin' for you outside.

899. I know she is.

900. I got your back.

901. I just saw a messy man.

902. Okay, that's fair.

903. Yeah, you know, Akashia was a team leader

904. and she didn't seem very in charge.

905. And that worries me.

906. What did you think of Bebe?

907. She totally understood the choreography,

908. she projected, she made it look easy,

909. like going to the toilet.

910. I want to see her bring it more.

911. I think she's not really going for it.

912. What do you think of their choreographer, Jade?

913. She came through as the choreographer,

914. she came through as trying to be

915. a mediator for a broken team.

916. Alright, now Tammie Brown.

917. I loved Tammie,

918. but we need to see diva and we didn't see that.

919. Right.

920. My fear with Tammie is that she does not connect with us,

921. and she didn't connect with the material.

922. Alright, let's bring the girls back in.

923. Serving Fish.

924. 3D.

925. I have made my decision.

926. Serving Fish.

927. Congratulations, you're all safe.

928. Oh, you guys are amazing.

929. Amazing.

930. Work work work!

931. And of all of you, one really stood out

932. above the rest.

933. Ongina, you are the winner of this challenge.

934. You also win a big basket of chocolates

935. and sparkling wine from Karma and Vosges Chocolat.

936. Thank you.

937. Although being safe is okay,

938. it's not enough for me.

939. There is no second or third, it's first

940. or it's don't even bother.

941. That means 3D, you're the loser of this challenge.

942. Jade.

943. You're still in the race.

944. Congratulations, you can join the others.

945. Bebe.

946. Congratulations, you're still in the race.

947. And then there were two.

948. Anybody who can step out of the house

949. with some high heels

950. and some lipstick on their lips

951. is my hero.

952. No matter what happens tonight,

953. you will carry on and you will be fine queens.

954. Prior to tonight,

955. you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance

956. of Michelle Williams' song We Break the Dawn.

957. Now this is your last chance to impress me

958. and save yourself from elimination.

959. The time has come to lip sync for your life!

960. And don't fuck it up.

961. I think Tammie wanted to be in this competition

962. very badly.

963. However, competing and going through the stress

964. and the crunch time,

965. you really have to be a lot tougher.

966. If I had the song down it would have been better,

967. but I didn't have the song down

968. and I had made the decision before I went on stage today

969. that I was not gonna do that song if it happened to me.

970. I thought that she was still gonna give me

971. more of a challenge than just standing there

972. and not lip syncing the words at all.

973. Oh wow.

974. Akashia, you mother fuckin' broke the dawn.

975. You know what, you broke the dawn.

976. You know, if I didn't have so much Botox,

977. I would be crying right now.

978. Well I'm crying for you, so...

979. After all the judges were saying to me before,

980. it's like you're like a poison to everyone,

981. and then for them to turn around and do a 180,

982. it was crazy.

983. I never thought we'd see you go out like this, Tammie.

984. Really.

985. I just watched you lay down on the railroad tracks right now.

986. Tonight the decision has been made for me.

987. Akashia.

988. Yes.

989. Chante, you stay.

990. Someone called me the phoenix

991. because the phoenix dies and rises from the ashes.

992. I really thought that all hope was lost

993. and I was going home.

994. Now Tammie.

995. Yes ma'am.

996. Tammie Brown's in town.

997. You're a special and unique performer.

998. But this competition got the better of you.

999. And you really do have the potential

1000. to make it happen.

1001. And it was disappointing to see you give up like that.

1002. Good luck.

1003. Thank you.

1004. Now sashay away.

1005. Buenos noches.

1006. Bye Tammie.

1007. Oh, see you later, in the magazines.

1008. It's just, it's time to go.

1009. I don't need to be in this anymore,

1010. riding this roller coaster.

1011. Thank you.

1012. Oh goodness.

1013. I'm going forward, I'm not stopping,

1014. this is another stepping stone.

1015. I'm gonna make it, I'm not worried about that.

1016. Bye everybody.

1017. See you all.

1018. Congratulations.

1019. I'll see you dolls next week.

1020. And remember, if you can't love yourself,

1021. how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?

1022. Can I get a amen up in here?

1023. Amen.

1024. Hallelujah.
