RuPaul's Drag Race 3x9

1. - Previously on

2. RuPaul's Drag Race...

3. May the funniest bitch win.

4. - It's like our workroom is now

5. divided into two groups.

6. We got team talent

7. and team look.

8. I will see each one of them

9. go home.

10. - Whoo!

11. - Anybody else on their period?

12. - Mm-hmm, I said bitch better

13. have my money!

14. - Pfffft!

15. Get out, get out, get out,

16. get out!

17. - That bitch was crazy.

18. Shangela, you bitch-slapped

19. the competition.

20. Con-drag-ulations.

21. You are the winner of this

22. challenge.

23. That is what a lip sync for your

24. life is all about.

25. Manila...

26. shante, you stay.

27. Delta...

28. sashay away.

29. - I'm just glad to have lost

30. to a Heather,

31. not to one of the boogers.

32. - And tonight...

33. I'm so excited,

34. I'm lactating.

35. Fierce flies.

36. - And a star-spangled salute...

37. - Bam!

38. - With extra special guest

39. judges

40. Cheryl Tiegs

41. and Johnny Weir.

42. The winner of

43. RuPaul's Drag Race

44. will receive a lifetime supply

45. of Kryolan professional makeup,

46. headline Logo's Drag Race tour,

47. featuring cocktails perfected

48. by Absolut,

49. and a cash prize of $75,000.

50. And may the best woman win.

51. - Yoo-hoo!

52. Toughest queens coming through.

53. - So we're back in the workroom,

54. and there's Delta's message,

55. and it's pretty

56. heartbreaking for me, because

57. Delta and I are so close.

58. - I can't believe I sent

59. Heather home.

60. Delta's gone.

61. We're missing one Heather.

62. It's sad, but I haven't had

63. such a rush in my life before.

64. When I was lip-syncing

65. last week,

66. I was living onstage.

67. It's really put in a new energy

68. into how I'm playing this

69. competition.

70. - Delta was so fetch.

71. - She was fetch.

72. - Heather, stop trying to make

73. "fetch" work.

74. It's not happening.

75. - What is the hell with this

76. "Heathers" group?

77. I think Carmen is fake.

78. I think Raja is fake.

79. I think Manila is fake.

80. Bam.

81. - Oh, I love you, Delta.

82. - You sent her home.

83. - Well, bitch, it was her or me,

84. honey.

85. - See you at the bathhouse,

86. girl.

87. - What'd you think about how,

88. you know, everyone was so sad

89. when Delta left and went up and

90. gave that big old hug

91. and that teary good-bye

92. and that production?

93. - It was exactly that,

94. a production.

95. It was a "we are the world,

96. we are the children" moment

97. on the stage.

98. - Let's stay strong in this

99. competition, okay?

100. - All right.

101. - Oh!

102. - Ooh, girl!

103. You got she mail.

104. Hey, racers.

105. Hello.

106. - I have dragged my ass all

107. around this world,

108. and I've learned one thing...

109. the U.S.A. is still the best

110. damn country on earth.

111. - Yes.

112. - Whoo!

113. - My fellow drag Americans,

114. ask not what RuPaul's Drag Race

115. can do for you.

116. Ask what you can do for

117. RuPaul's Drag Race.

118. - Yeah!

119. - Whoo!

120. - Hello, hello, hello.

121. Whoa!

122. - Well, howdy, partners.

123. This week, we're gonna focus on

124. two of my favorite things...

125. "t" and "a."

126. You want to know what the "t"

127. is?

128. Yes!

129. - All right.

130. For today's mini challenge,

131. I want you to turn these plain

132. brassieres

133. into something

134. truly glamorific.

135. I want you to bedazzle a healthy

136. pair of hooters.

137. - Ooh! Yes!

138. - Yes!

139. - The queen with the most

140. bedazzling bra wins.

141. Now, you have 30 minutes,

142. so ready, set...

143. Go!

144. - Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.

145. Yes!

146. - Oh, fuck that asshole!

147. - Really? Is that, like,

148. actually part of the challenge?

149. Deal with you?

150. - Aah!

151. Oh, girl, look.

152. The bra... that's the wrong side.

153. - No, you didn't.

154. - My initial idea is to do kind

155. of a modern replica

156. of RuPaul's face on the bra.

157. Now, that is couture.

158. - All right, ladies,

159. time's up.

160. Gather round.

161. Wow.

162. I'm so excited, I'm lactating.

163. First up, Alexis Mateo.

164. Careful, girl.

165. You could put somebody's eyes

166. out with those things.

167. Bam!

168. - Beautiful.

169. Thank you, Alexis.

170. - Thank you.

171. - Next up, Yara Sofia.

172. Wow.

173. - This is my ze-bra collection.

174. - Ah, your ze-bra.

175. - By Yara Sofia's Secret.

176. - Hunty.

177. Next up, Shangela.

178. - Ooh.

179. Now, is that corn?

180. - Actually, this is supposed to

181. be a model of you.

182. - Uh-huh.

183. - With the big blond hair here,

184. and then it's the signature

185. RuPaul line.

186. I'm hoping to pitch it to you.

187. - I didn't see RuPaul's head

188. in there at all.

189. I just saw, like,

190. popcorn kernels.

191. - And you're using the glitter,

192. which is really interesting.

193. Next up, Raja.

194. - I kind of wanted to go for,

195. like, rocker chick Samantha Fox

196. meets Burlesque, so I tried to

197. concentrate a few of the...

198. - Well, I think that they're

199. perfect for motor-boating.

200. Bbbbbbb!

201. - Pfffft!

202. - Thank you, Raja.

203. Carmen Carrera.

204. Ooh, there's rhinestones in them

205. there hills.

206. - Mm-hmm.

207. - Did you breast-feed

208. with those?

209. - I don't breast-feed.

210. I pump.

211. - Oh, you pump.

212. Very Latoya.

213. For those of you who didn't

214. believe, roll up your sleeves.

215. Next up, Manila.

216. Now, is that a nursing bra?

217. - Well, I thought they looked

218. like rivets,

219. so I went for, like, a submarine

220. look for my torpedoes.

221. - Better luck next time, Manila.

222. To kill RuPaul, you gotta be

223. faster than that.

224. - Uhh!

225. - Ladies, all of your designs

226. were truly bodacious.

227. But I can only choose one.

228. So cross my heart,

229. the winner is...

230. Manila.

231. - Whoo!

232. Yes!

233. - Why, those are the fastest

234. tits in the west.

235. - Now, I told you this week was

236. all about my two favorite

237. things..."t" and "a."

238. The "t" was for ta-tas,

239. but the "a" is for...

240. America.

241. - Ohh!

242. - Yes.

243. There is no place like

244. the U.S. of A.

245. For this week's main challenge,

246. you'll each create a public

247. service announcement

248. entitled

249. "Why I love the U.S.A."

250. So the message should be

251. entertaining and from the heart,

252. because we'll be sending your

253. P.S.A.s

254. to the brave men and women

255. who are serving our

256. country overseas.

257. You'll each have ten minutes

258. in front of the camera,

259. and, Manila, since you won

260. the mini challenge,

261. you'll get an extra

262. five minutes.

263. Gentlemen...

264. start your engines.

265. And may the best American woman

266. win.

267. - It just kind of needs to be a

268. few words, right?

269. - Yeah, I'm doing, like,

270. snippets.

271. - Yeah, that's what I'm thinking

272. of.

273. When it came time for me

274. to write my P.S.A.,

275. I had to think about what

276. American values

277. do I cherish the most?

278. If it's too speech-y...

279. it's only supposed to be 30

280. to 60 seconds long,

281. so you have to kind of fill it

282. in

283. with just a few words, you know.

284. I always want it to feel

285. inspired,

286. and I definitely want to be

287. connected to it emotionally.

288. - Uh!

289. - Ew!

290. - Did you really seriously fart?

291. - Sick.

292. - I'm having a hard time

293. with it.

294. - You are?

295. - Yes, I have so many things

296. that are personal.

297. - Mm-hmm.

298. - But I really don't want to

299. make it personal and sad,

300. 'cause I know it's gonna be sad

301. for me.

302. It's just too much, too much.

303. I hope I don't cry.

304. - Why would you cry?

305. - It's a lot of things.

306. It's a lot of things.

307. - Like what?

308. - There's a lot of things

309. personal that I...

310. I wish I could say, but I can't.

311. - Made in the U.S.A.

312. Our main challenge today is to

313. shoot,

314. like, a 30-second public

315. service announcement

316. for our troops.

317. - Hey.

318. Can you hear my...

319. - Go ahead.

320. - "Right now I'm wearing no

321. clothes,

322. "because I don't want any brand,

323. any stereotypes to cover

324. who I am."

325. I don't want any brand to cover

326. my identify... my identity.

327. You like it?

328. - I didn't get it.

329. At the competition, Yara is a

330. very original girl,

331. and her personality help

332. her a lot.

333. But when it comes to talent

334. and performing,

335. I think Yara's still behind.

336. - Do you like that idea?

337. I'm gonna be naked.

338. - Yeah, but, baby, you gotta

339. let me write.

340. - Oh.

341. - You gotta let me write.

342. - I taught Shangela a few things

343. about makeup.

344. And today she doesn't want

345. to help me.

346. - If I thought Yara needed

347. the help,

348. I would help her,

349. but she doesn't.

350. Girl, you can do it.

351. - Shangela and Alexis are like,

352. "Do your job."

353. I know you're doing your job,

354. but before, I was doing my job,

355. and I helped you.

356. - So did you guys grow up

357. really, like, patriotic

358. and, like, "We love America"?

359. - I was born here, but I lived

360. in Indonesia

361. when I was a little boy,

362. and I remember thinking

363. of America as, like, the land

364. of candy bars and M&Ms,

365. so it was kind of a dreamland

366. for me.

367. - I know, it's kind of like

368. my mom,

369. you know, coming from

370. a different country

371. where you're just like,

372. "America is the dream.

373. That's where I need to go."

374. - Being an American wasn't

375. something that was hard for me.

376. I was born into it.

377. It was easy, but being

378. Carmen Carrera wasn't,

379. and being married to my husband

380. wasn't.

381. I had to fight for all those

382. things,

383. so those are the things

384. that I'm really proud of.

385. - Well, hello, my star-spangled

386. ladies.

387. - Hi!

388. - I'm gonna check in and see

389. what you all are up to.

390. Hi, Raja.

391. What do you love about America?

392. - I love freedoms that I'm

393. allowed to have here.

394. I'm allowed to get in drag and

395. parade around the streets

396. and make money doing it.

397. - This needs to be uplifting,

398. entertaining,

399. and from the heart.

400. - Yes, sir.

401. - Okay? All right.

402. Carry on.

403. - All right.

404. - Hello, Manila.

405. - Hi.

406. - Why do you love America?

407. - There's just so many different

408. kinds of food here.

409. - So America to you means

410. a variety of different foods.

411. - Yes.

412. - What else does America mean

413. to you?

414. - Well, I think that is a symbol

415. of the diversity of America.

416. Different ethnicities and

417. cultures... they're all just

418. out here for the tasting.

419. Try something new.

420. Do it with an Indian guy.

421. - Now, of course, you are gonna

422. be talking

423. to the troops who are serving

424. this great nation of ours,

425. so we want you to express

426. yourself,

427. but just know that we want it to

428. come from the heart,

429. not come from between your legs.

430. I'm gonna let you get back

431. to work.

432. - Okay, thank you.

433. - I can't wait.

434. Carmen Carrera.

435. You, as you flutter your false

436. eyelashes...

437. is that what being an American

438. means to you?

439. - Yes.

440. I'm free, honey.

441. - Hello.

442. - No restrictions,

443. you know what I mean?

444. - Now, tell me what you have

445. planned for your P.S.A.

446. - My aunt has six boys,

447. and most of them are all

448. in the Army, the Navy.

449. I'm keeping in my mind that my

450. video's gonna get to them.

451. - That's a great idea.

452. - Thank you.

453. - Yara Sofia.

454. - Yes.

455. - Now, you're working on

456. your P.S.A.,

457. and you understand

458. where this will go.

459. - Yes.

460. - Okay.

461. - My dad is Army Reserve.

462. - Has he ever been shipped

463. overseas?

464. - Yes, to Iraq.

465. - Really?

466. - And you have no communication

467. with him.

468. I don't think I'm going

469. to mention

470. my father in that P.S.A.,

471. 'cause it's too emotional

472. for me.

473. It was a very hard time

474. in my life.

475. - You have dialogue that you

476. will say.

477. Just give me a synopsis.

478. - If you don't love America,

479. how the hell you gonna love

480. yourself?

481. - 'Cause you are America.

482. - It sounds so familiar.

483. - Yes.

484. - And you're just gonna stand

485. there.

486. You're not gonna do any of

487. the sensual Puerto Rican...

488. - I could be quiet.

489. - Yes.

490. - And I will express my cha-cha

491. inside.

492. All right, Yara, I'll let you

493. get back to work.

494. - Thank you.

495. - Okay.

496. - Yes, Ru.

497. - Now, why are you proud to be

498. an American?

499. - Well, you know, my mom was in

500. Desert Storm twice,

501. and then she also fought

502. in Bosnia,

503. and she would call home, and she

504. would be like, "Make me laugh.

505. Tell me something funny."

506. so that's kind of the spirit of

507. what I want my P.S.A. to be.

508. All the way, wherever the

509. troops are,

510. I want to make them smile too.

511. - I'm excited.

512. - Yay. Me too.

513. - All right, get back to work.

514. - Thank you, Ru.

515. - All right.

516. Hey, Alexis.

517. - Hi, Ru.

518. - America.

519. - America.

520. - What's it mean to you?

521. - It's love. It's freedom.

522. - Do you know anybody

523. in the military?

524. Three years ago, I met somebody

525. very special in my life.

526. We get our relationship

527. very secretly,

528. and, like, the best moments

529. of my life was with him.

530. And he got called to go to

531. service,

532. and I don't know nothing about

533. him since, like,

534. a year and a half, so I really

535. don't know if he's okay.

536. - During the P.S.A.,

537. are you going to be speaking

538. directly to him?

539. - I would love to.

540. - What would you say to him

541. right now?

542. - I would say I'm sorry,

543. because I took us

544. in a wrong way.

545. Like, I felt abandoned,

546. and I didn't say anything before

547. he left.

548. I was really upset.

549. I want to say I'm sorry and that

550. I love him so much

551. and that I am very proud of him.

552. - Your story is shared by

553. thousands of others

554. who have had people they love go

555. overseas to serve their country.

556. I have a feeling yours is gonna

557. be very heartfelt.

558. But keep it entertaining, okay?

559. All right, kiddo, get to work.

560. - Thank you.

561. - All right.

562. All right, dolls, this one's

563. for Lady Liberty,

564. so do me proud and don't fuck

565. it up.

566. I'll see you in a moment.

567. - This week, for our main

568. challenge,

569. we're filming a public service

570. announcement,

571. basically, to the troops

572. and to share about

573. loving being an American.

574. - Hello!

575. - All right, you can use any

576. of the props you'd like,

577. including the pit crew.

578. - Mmm.

579. - Your ten minutes starts now.

580. - You know what?

581. Here we go,

582. 'cause nothing says "I love

583. America" like a dog.

584. Not only are you protecting

585. we humans,

586. but also the furrier kind.

587. - Cut.

588. Shangela, do you think you're

589. getting your message across

590. as to why you love America?

591. - It's because of the freedom

592. that we have here, the freedom

593. that you're out there

594. protecting.

595. - I wish you'd be saying this

596. right now to the camera.

597. - Okay, we'll do that.

598. - Every moment counts.

599. Oh, no, baby, I'm a solo act.

600. Y'all can go off now.

601. Thank you.

602. - Carmen, are you ready to do

603. your P.S.A.?

604. - Um...

605. - That's a yes or no answer.

606. - All right, well, let's just

607. start.

608. - Carmen, if I were you,

609. I would squat all the way down

610. and then come up.

611. Yes, ma'am.

612. - Okay.

613. - But don't do that.

614. - Okay, okay, okay.

615. All right,

616. the Statue of Liberty.

617. Hey!

618. No foam here!

619. - Uh-huh, it's all real...

620. 100% American,

621. made in the U.S.A.

622. - All right, so I'm gonna be

623. in the mirror,

624. and then I'm gonna be doubting

625. myself.

626. I'm gonna be like, "Oh!"

627. you know, like, "Mm!

628. Maybe I'm not that pretty."

629. - Carmen, look at me.

630. Don't explain it, just do it.

631. 30 seconds.

632. - The American dream for me is

633. to have, like, wigs

634. and jewelry and hot dogs

635. and balloons.

636. Ooh!

637. - I'm Yara Sofia.

638. I'm puertorriquena.

639. I'm American girl!

640. Right now I'm not wearing

641. no clothes.

642. - Betsy Ross,

643. eat your heart out.

644. - Oh, definitely.

645. - This is where...

646. Oh, I'm sorry, and go.

647. I love America 'cause I'm ...

648. ah, fuck.

649. I love America.

650. I le... ah, ah, fahh!

651. - Take a deep breath,

652. and you got it.

653. - It's okay.

654. - I love America

655. 'cause America let me be...

656. a musician.

657. I want to make the troops laugh.

658. It's a hard time for them,

659. and they need to laugh,

660. 'cause laugh cures everything.

661. Hey!

662. - Only in America will you

663. find the diversity of different

664. backgrounds and ethnicities,

665. and each of them offer a

666. different kind of food to eat.

667. And I love to eat food.

668. - We got that.

669. Let's see what else you have.

670. - Okay.

671. Ooh, sweet cherry pie.

672. Hold it like this so people can

673. see the length of it, honey.

674. Oh! Yes!

675. That was good.

676. Mmm!

677. - Manila, just bring it back

678. to America

679. and why you love America.

680. - Boys out there serving our

681. country,

682. when you come back,

683. there is going to be

684. all the food you can eat.

685. - Oh, my God.

686. - My name is Raja.

687. I'm proud to be an American.

688. America, the land...

689. sorry.

690. The land where it... sorry.

691. - Can we get some of the joy

692. of what you're saying?

693. I can see you reading

694. your script in your head.

695. - So far, all I've been able

696. to do

697. is just present this funny side

698. of me

699. or a very serious kind

700. of runway look.

701. You think I could fit my giraffe

702. ass in there?

703. - This is my opportunity

704. to just be pretty this time

705. and pinup-y.

706. - Anything you want to say

707. to our troops?

708. - Um...

709. - Look at the camera.

710. - Speak from the heart.

711. - Oh.

712. God bless the troops.

713. - Mm, nice.

714. - Oh!

715. - Alexis Mateo!

716. - Hello!

717. - Wow!

718. - Hi, Michelle. Hi, Ru.

719. I am very nervous about what

720. I have to say,

721. because there's a lot of things

722. going in my mind right now

723. that are not that happy.

724. But at this point, I just want

725. to go

726. and do my best in front

727. of the camera.

728. - Action!

729. - It's time for a party.

730. It's a U.S.A. American

731. celebration!

732. I met the love of my life.

733. Now he serve in the U.S.

734. Military corps.

735. Papi, I want you to come back

736. home, baby!

737. - Ooh, yeah.

738. - That's right, just pick it up.

739. - Yeah, keep it going.

740. - And even if I was born on

741. the moon,

742. I would still be in America.

743. Sexy, no?

744. - What?

745. What did she say?

746. - Sexy, no?

747. This is so corny, I love it.

748. - I think the troops are gonna

749. say,

750. "Who the hell is this crazy-ass

751. drag queen?"

752. Bam!

753. Bam!

754. Bam!

755. Get it, baby.

756. Only in America can a woman like

757. me have a freakin' chorizo!

758. - Yes, baby!

759. Bam!

760. Oh!

761. - Yeah, catch your breath.

762. - You got a cramp, girl?

763. - I'm trying to feel where's

764. my genitals right now.

765. - Yes, yes, yes.

766. Ladies, thank you for serving

767. your country.

768. Now, tomorrow I want you to

769. wear

770. your most patriotic outfits

771. to the main stage,

772. where we will be joined by two

773. American icons.

774. Swimsuit supermodel,

775. the legendary Cheryl Tiegs

776. will be here...

777. Ooh!

778. - And Olympic figure skater

779. Johnny Weir.

780. - Word!

781. Oh, my God, Johnny Weir.

782. Love her!

783. I'm gonna lick her if she gets

784. anywhere near me.

785. - Good-bye for now,

786. and God bless America.

787. - Yeah.

788. - Yes.

789. - Yoo-hoo!

790. Show must go on.

791. - Good mornin'.

792. - We're back in the workroom

793. this morning,

794. and we are getting ready

795. for our patriotic runway.

796. - Do you guys think that it was

797. a little difficult

798. to be entertaining and heartfelt

799. at the same time?

800. - When you're not putting on an

801. act and you're being yourself,

802. it's not difficult to put your

803. feelings in front of everybody

804. at the same time being yourself.

805. - The way that I did mine was

806. that the spoken word

807. was heartfelt, and the visual

808. was entertaining.

809. - Did you speak in English

810. and Spanish?

811. - No, girl.

812. - But you speak Spanish,

813. don't you?

814. - No, I don't.

815. I understand Spanish.

816. - No, you speak Spanish.

817. - I speak broken Spanish.

818. - She does.

819. - You're Puerto Rican, right?

820. - Uh-huh.

821. But my mom is very Americanized.

822. - I would love to see Carmen

823. embrace Puerto Rican things.

824. - I know Puerto Rican culture.

825. It's always been part of my life

826. since I was little, but I think

827. that Yara and Alexis don't think

828. that I'm Puerto Rican enough,

829. which I don't care.

830. - Work, Marine Corps.

831. I'm gonna wear

832. the military jacket,

833. because no matter

834. what I'm wearing

835. and no matter

836. if I'm a drag queen

837. I wanted to show respect

838. for the militaries

839. and the Army,

840. and I hope I look great.

841. - Ooh, you're so

842. Michael Jackson.

843. "Hee-hee!"

844. - That's a man.

845. - This challenge

846. was kind of hard to me,

847. 'cause I will like to entertain

848. and do happy things.

849. I don't want to remember

850. the year

851. that my father went to Iraq.

852. I miss my mom and my dad

853. so bad.

854. This challenge remembered me

855. my dad, of course.

856. He is Army Reserve.

857. - I'm sure they miss you too.

858. - Yes.

859. A few years ago

860. we didn't have my father, like,

861. on year,

862. and it was so, so hard.

863. Guys, I'm so loud.

864. Without me, the house sounds

865. really empty.

866. Sometimes when I'm next

867. to my father,

868. like, I drop things and...

869. "Oh!"

870. Like, watch out, girl!

871. Watch out, girl!

872. Don't be so gay here.

873. - And you get along with him

874. well?

875. - Yes.

876. - Yes.

877. Hey, guys.

878. Welcome to the main stage

879. of RuPaul's Drag Race.

880. Michelle Visage?

881. - Yes, baby?

882. - God bless America.

883. And one of our forefathers,

884. Santino, is here.

885. Hi, honey.

886. I am so proud to be a part of

887. the Wig Party.

888. - I pledge my allegiance to you,

889. Ru.

890. - Good.

891. And Cheryl Tiegs,

892. the all-American girl, is here.

893. So glad you're here tonight.

894. - Thank you, sugar.

895. - And Johnny Weir is here

896. with us tonight.

897. Hi, Johnny.

898. - Hey, Ru, thanks for having me.

899. I am tucked in anticipation.

900. - Good. And keep it that way.

901. This week our queens were

902. challenged

903. to create patriotic

904. public service announcements

905. to send to our troops overseas.

906. Now, wearing their best

907. Yankee Doodle drag,

908. we salute them.

909. Gentlemen, start your engines,

910. and may the best woman win.

911. Manila...

912. for the love of money.

913. - Great Gatsby, look at her.

914. - My patriotic look is a 1920s

915. flapper silhouette,

916. but instead of fringe,

917. it's hundreds,

918. because there's nothing more

919. American

920. than the American U.S. "d."

921. - In God we trust.

922. - Carmen Carrera...

923. look at that pinup.

924. - The look for today's runway

925. is Carmen Carrera meets

926. Dita Von Teese in the 1950s.

927. - I love the stones accenting

928. the money bits in the back.

929. - Yes, the moneymaker.

930. Exactly.

931. - Star-spangled bang her.

932. - Alexis Mateo, giving you

933. military drag.

934. - An officer and a lady.

935. - I turned out a U.S. Official

936. uniform into a evening gown.

937. - I want to see where

938. the pistol's hidden.

939. - Yes.

940. Who are you wearing?

941. Oh, wait.

942. Don't ask, don't tell.

943. - Exactly.

944. - Yara Sofia...

945. Now, this is a traditional

946. Puerto Rican costume, isn't it?

947. - Is it?

948. - Yeah, I saw it on a J. Lo

949. special.

950. - This is the national costume

951. from Puerto Rico.

952. It's very patriotic,

953. but there is a surprise.

954. - Oh, what's happening?

955. - Oh!

956. - This is a traditional

957. Puerto Rican outfit.

958. - We see her rice

959. and her beans.

960. - Yes, we do.

961. - Mm.

962. - Yara, did you double-park

963. your invisible plane?

964. This is Shangela.

965. A bouquet?

966. Wow.

967. - What I have to wear is simple,

968. but it's still patriotic.

969. It's like classic '50s,

970. Marilyn Monroe-esque,

971. but I'm gonna turn it

972. Shangie style.

973. - She's serving a little

974. Eva Longoria.

975. - A little bit of Marilyn Monroe

976. there for a second.

977. - Happy birthday, Mr. President.

978. - Oh, wow!

979. - Nava-ho.

980. - How!

981. - That's all I ever heard.

982. - I've chosen tonight to do

983. a look

984. that's a little bit

985. Native American

986. and a lot of rock and roll.

987. - "Dances with drag queens."

988. - Yes.

989. "Legend of the Walks Far

990. Woman."

991. Welcome, my fellow

992. drag Americans.

993. - Yes.

994. - All right, let's get to it.

995. Let's start with Shangela.

996. Cheryl, what'd you think of

997. Shangela's runway presentation?

998. - The outfit is very, uh,

999. simple.

1000. You see the others... there's

1001. a lot more going on.

1002. - The lame is coming off

1003. a little lame for me.

1004. You know, it's not quite

1005. banging enough.

1006. - Thank you, Amadeus.

1007. - Let's take a look at your

1008. P.S.A.

1009. - Hey, all you fierce-ass

1010. freedom fighters, it's me,

1011. Shangela, and let me tell you,

1012. I appreciate you out there.

1013. We miss you, and we want you

1014. home safely...

1015. Ooh!

1016. Hallelu.

1017. - I thought you did a really

1018. good job on your P.S.A.

1019. You knew exactly what you were

1020. gonna do.

1021. - Hallelu.

1022. - I felt like the costume,

1023. the singing, everything was

1024. so fun and vibrant.

1025. - All right, next up,

1026. Carmen Carrera.

1027. - The Statue of Liberty...

1028. ever since I was a child,

1029. it has been a symbol of freedom,

1030. acceptance, and diversity

1031. for everyone to be able to live

1032. the American dream.

1033. Our forefathers have made it

1034. possible for us,

1035. and now it's you who's ensuring

1036. the future of our children.

1037. - Yes.

1038. - Carmen, you have to stay

1039. in character.

1040. You have a tendency to,

1041. dare I say, look bored.

1042. - That was my biggest thing.

1043. I wanted you to excite me

1044. and make me want to sign up,

1045. but it was just very, very

1046. soft.

1047. I just wanted a little bit more

1048. command of the voice,

1049. especially with this attitude

1050. and this look that you've got.

1051. - Carmen, when you first

1052. came out, I gasped.

1053. It was very sultry.

1054. Standing here, you've lost that

1055. a little bit.

1056. - You're standing there like

1057. you could really give two shits

1058. about what we think.

1059. - No, I don't want you

1060. to think that.

1061. - But that's how it's coming

1062. across.

1063. All right, ladies, next up,

1064. Alexis Mateo.

1065. Now, you told me in

1066. the workroom

1067. that you had a lover who went

1068. to war.

1069. Did you direct your P.S.A.

1070. toward him?

1071. - I tried to make my P.S.A.

1072. a little bit underground message

1073. for him.

1074. Oh, my gosh, if he was watching

1075. right now,

1076. I would've loved to say that

1077. I miss him a lot.

1078. Inside my heart,

1079. I'm still waiting for you.

1080. - Well, let's take a look

1081. at your patriotic P.S.A..

1082. - It's Alexis Mateo con sabor

1083. from Puerto Rico!

1084. This is the only land

1085. where you can grow up and become

1086. whoever you want to be.

1087. I'm a fucking drag queen!

1088. Ha ha ha!

1089. Bam!

1090. Bam!

1091. Papi, I want you to come back

1092. home, baby!

1093. Celebrate life.

1094. Celebrate love.

1095. Celebrate freedom.

1096. - Oh, my goodness.

1097. - Ooh-ee.

1098. - Bam, Michelle Visage.

1099. - Bam!

1100. Alexis, you came out with one

1101. thing you wanted to do.

1102. That was dance and be happy with

1103. a piece of lame,

1104. and it worked.

1105. We couldn't breathe,

1106. we were laughing so hard.

1107. - Your P.S.A. was so much fun.

1108. "I'm a fucking drag queen!"

1109. That sums it up.

1110. That's right, mama.

1111. - Thank you, Beethoven.

1112. Is this the jacket of

1113. your ex-boyfriend?

1114. - Yes, he left me this

1115. as a memory.

1116. So today I decide to wear it.

1117. - If you're all covered up

1118. in the high neck on the jacket,

1119. show us a little something.

1120. You know, you don't have

1121. to show us everything.

1122. I don't want to see your

1123. honey basket.

1124. - I love a queen in uniform.

1125. And you respected this,

1126. and by "respect,"

1127. I mean definitely put

1128. Swarovskis all over it.

1129. - All right, next up,

1130. Yara Sofia.

1131. Yes, ma'am.

1132. - This is the national costume

1133. for dancing.

1134. It's called bomba.

1135. This is also part

1136. of their religion.

1137. It's called Santeria.

1138. - You're not gonna kill

1139. a chicken, are you?

1140. - No, no!

1141. - 'Cause I'm hungry, girl.

1142. Let's take a look and see

1143. what happened.

1144. - I'm Yara Sofia,

1145. and I love America.

1146. America let me be the Latina!

1147. I feel free, darling!

1148. Hey!

1149. If you don't love America,

1150. how the hell you gonna love

1151. yourself?

1152. - Okay, guapa, this is the deal.

1153. Your P.S.A.,

1154. don't just be crazy.

1155. If you're gonna be crazy,

1156. be crazy with a purpose.

1157. I expect more from you now,

1158. Yara.

1159. - It was a little bit crazy.

1160. I'm not gonna lie.

1161. There wasn't a lot of class

1162. and integrity in it.

1163. I just thought it was kind of

1164. jumping all over the place.

1165. - All right, next up,

1166. our flapper, Manila.

1167. Tell us about your look.

1168. - Well, I'm trying to go for

1169. a thoroughly modern millionaire.

1170. - Oh, I love it.

1171. Well, let's take a look

1172. at your P.S.A.

1173. - I'm an American,

1174. and I love to eat out at

1175. different kinds of restaurants.

1176. Only in America will you find

1177. the diversity

1178. of different backgrounds

1179. and ethnicities,

1180. and each of them offer a

1181. different kind of food to eat...

1182. hot dogs, sushi, Italian,

1183. kielbasa.

1184. Oh, America, you taste so good.

1185. - Being a lady, I am not quite

1186. so sure

1187. about when you emit some gas.

1188. - Relying on a fart joke

1189. in the P.S.A.,

1190. the message of having freedom

1191. of choice

1192. just got completely lost

1193. for me.

1194. - Thank you, Mr. Lagerfeld.

1195. - Manila, I am so in love

1196. with you tonight.

1197. I love everything about this

1198. look on you.

1199. It's absolutely stunning to me.

1200. I just gotta be honest, I can't

1201. stand you as a blonde girl.

1202. - The blond wig and the outfit,

1203. I just felt I saw

1204. Jessica Simpson,

1205. and I feel like I wouldn't want

1206. to look like Jessica Simpson.

1207. - All right, next up, Raja.

1208. Can you get more American than

1209. Native American?

1210. - How.

1211. - Let's take a look at your

1212. patriotic P.S.A.

1213. - I'm Raja, and I'm proud to be

1214. am American.

1215. Growing up in Indonesia,

1216. my parents taught me that I

1217. could be

1218. whatever I wanted to be.

1219. America... where the son

1220. of immigrants

1221. can wear her freedom proudly.

1222. - Raja, I thought you were

1223. amazing on the runway.

1224. The P.S.A. was a little stiff.

1225. - Take me to your tepee.

1226. - Okay.

1227. - I saw Cher, like Half Breed,

1228. Janis Joplin, and it's awesome.

1229. - Thank you, Gandalf.

1230. - It's kind of like there are

1231. two versions of being cold.

1232. The runway walk,

1233. it's cold in a way

1234. that is so scorching and so hot

1235. that you can freeze anyone

1236. that's watching you.

1237. And then when the video came up,

1238. it was just a wet, dead fish.

1239. - Thank you, ladies.

1240. I think we've heard enough.

1241. Now, while you go and untuck

1242. in the Interior Illusions

1243. lounge,

1244. the judges and I will

1245. deliberate.

1246. You may leave the stage.

1247. Now, just between us girls,

1248. what do you think?

1249. Let's start with Shangela.

1250. - The fit on that dress

1251. is horrid.

1252. It's slightly American,

1253. patriotic... slightly.

1254. - I really feel that a polished

1255. drag queen

1256. would never come in that outfit

1257. tonight.

1258. - Right.

1259. - The performance on the runway

1260. tonight... it was just kind of...

1261. - I thought her P.S.A. was kind

1262. of canned.

1263. Felt that it was kind of like

1264. part of her shtick.

1265. Carmen Carrera...

1266. - The P.S.A.

1267. was personality-less.

1268. - Yeah.

1269. - She was a stink-ball.

1270. - She did her beautiful walk.

1271. She looked lovely,

1272. and then she stood there,

1273. and she may as well have been

1274. chewing on a piece of wheat,

1275. taking a dump, doing her nails.

1276. This girl, if she ever wants

1277. to be a huge success...

1278. people will not buy tickets,

1279. she will not be able to pay

1280. her rent,

1281. and she will be flipping

1282. burgers.

1283. - She will die penniless.

1284. - Yes.

1285. - Alexis Mateo...

1286. She seemed very somber

1287. on the runway.

1288. - I liked the somberness,

1289. because she was being

1290. a respectable

1291. marine woman to me.

1292. I felt like it was part

1293. of the persona.

1294. - I laughed hard at her P.S.A.

1295. I thought it was very funny.

1296. And her jumpsuit...

1297. it was just amazing.

1298. It was like the ugliest fabric,

1299. but... and the silhouette was

1300. so on point and so fun,

1301. I couldn't take my eyes off

1302. of her.

1303. - Yara...

1304. - I was really thrown when

1305. I first saw her in that curly,

1306. frizzy hair.

1307. I didn't like that, because she

1308. was quite stunning,

1309. I thought, on the runway.

1310. - This P.S.A. that's wild

1311. and over-the-top,

1312. it very shrill for me.

1313. You're constantly

1314. going, going, going.

1315. When is it going to stop?

1316. - Her P.S.A. Fell flat for me.

1317. Yara has to rein it in.

1318. - Right.

1319. - It doesn't...

1320. All the time have to be out

1321. there like that.

1322. - Let's move on to Manila.

1323. - Manila lost me within the

1324. first five seconds,

1325. uh, because of going in the

1326. direction of bathroom humor.

1327. - It's comedy, people.

1328. Why does everything have to be

1329. so serious?

1330. I appreciate a good crass video.

1331. There's a lot of people like me

1332. out there,

1333. and I loved her runway look

1334. tonight.

1335. - Raja...

1336. - I like Raja.

1337. That costume, which was so

1338. outrageous...

1339. she just carried it,

1340. and I really like that.

1341. - As the pinup girl in her

1342. P.S.A.,

1343. really stunning, beautiful.

1344. But when she starts to speak,

1345. there's a disconnect.

1346. - The message was beautiful,

1347. but it was as flat as I was

1348. before Dr. 90210.

1349. - Hello.

1350. - Okay?

1351. - Silence!

1352. I've made my decision.

1353. Bring back my girls.

1354. Welcome back, ladies.

1355. Based on your performance

1356. in the patriotic challenge

1357. and your presentation

1358. on the main stage,

1359. I've made some decisions.

1360. Shangela, your runway

1361. presentation

1362. was underwhelming.

1363. And compared to the others,

1364. your P.S.A. Was just okay.

1365. You're safe.

1366. - Thank you.

1367. - Manila...

1368. you made a meal out

1369. of this challenge.

1370. But it left a bad taste in some

1371. of the judges' mouths.

1372. You...

1373. are safe.

1374. - Thank you.

1375. - Carmen Carrera.

1376. You're pretty.

1377. But your patriotic P.S.A.

1378. lacked pizzazz and personality.

1379. I'm sorry, my dear, but you are

1380. up for elimination.

1381. - I'm in the bottom,

1382. and I'm a little surprised.

1383. I'm not a mediocre bitch.

1384. - Alexis Mateo,

1385. you turned sadness

1386. into gladness

1387. and made us proud.

1388. Con-drag-ulations, you are the

1389. winner of this challenge.

1390. You've won a three-piece,

1391. super-lightweight,

1392. luxury-luggage set from Antler.

1393. Yes, Antler.

1394. - Thank you.

1395. - Is there anything you'd like

1396. to say?

1397. I know some things that happen

1398. in life...

1399. it teach you a lot of, like,

1400. valuable lessons.

1401. And this one helped me to grow,

1402. 'cause I normally depend a lot

1403. from people.

1404. And I want to say thank you

1405. to that special person

1406. that's shown me

1407. that I needed to love myself

1408. first.

1409. - Alexis, you may join

1410. the other girls.

1411. - Thank you.

1412. - Raja...

1413. You pummeled the runway.

1414. But when it came to the

1415. challenge,

1416. you stumbled.

1417. Yara Sofia...

1418. Your performance in the P.S.A.

1419. was entertaining,

1420. but are you resting on wacky?

1421. I'm sorry, my dear, but you are

1422. up for elimination.

1423. - I am very in shock.

1424. I cannot breathe.

1425. I cannot cry.

1426. I cannot laugh.

1427. I don't know why I am

1428. in the bottom two.

1429. - Raja, you are safe.

1430. Two queens stand before me.

1431. Prior to tonight, you were

1432. asked

1433. to prepare a lip-synced

1434. performance

1435. of Mickey by Toni Basil...

1436. in Spanish.

1437. - Yara doesn't have an advantage

1438. over me

1439. just 'cause she speaks Spanish.

1440. I want to make this one one

1441. for the history books.

1442. - Ladies, this is your

1443. last chance

1444. to impress me

1445. and save yourselves from

1446. elimination.

1447. The time has come for you to

1448. lip-sync...

1449. para tu vida!

1450. Good luck.

1451. And do not...

1452. fuck it up.

1453. - Oh, my god, Carmen...

1454. she knows every single word,

1455. and she is just pooching

1456. the song.

1457. She better work, Heather.

1458. - Yara was very patriotic,

1459. and she's doing Puerto Rico

1460. very proud.

1461. - We are doing our lip sync,

1462. and Carmen is kissing Johnny.

1463. It's not kissing for your life.

1464. - Work, Carmen! Work!

1465. Work, Yara!

1466. - Ladies...

1467. I have made my decision.

1468. Carmen Carerra...

1469. shante, you stay.

1470. - Thank you.

1471. - Yara Sofia...

1472. shante, you stay.

1473. - What?

1474. Are you joking, Ru?

1475. No, no, do not joke that way,

1476. please.

1477. - For the first time in

1478. Drag Race history,

1479. no one is going home tonight.

1480. This is the land of opportunity.

1481. And I've decided you both

1482. deserve

1483. to stay and fight another day.

1484. Now, remember, if you can't love

1485. America,

1486. how in the hell are you gonna

1487. love somebody else?

1488. Can I get a "amen" in here?

1489. Amen!

1490. - All right, let the music play.

1491. - Whoo-hoo!

1492. - Grand prize contributed

1493. in part
