1. Previously on
RuPaul's Drag Race...
Copy !req
2. You're invited to
the first annual DESPYs.
Copy !req
3. Pearl, I want to make sure
you up the ante.
Copy !req
4. Well, you told me
I had no personality.
Copy !req
5. That doesn't
give me confidence.
Copy !req
6. I'm just over
this bull.
Copy !req
7. We want to welcome—
welcome you
Copy !req
8. to the first annual
DESPY awards.
Copy !req
9. And the award for
the shadiest shade goes to...
Copy !req
10. Violet Chachki.
Copy !req
11. The winner is
Copy !req
12. Max and Pearl.
Copy !req
13. Kandy Ho,
Shantay, you stay.
Copy !req
14. Thank you.
Copy !req
15. Mrs. Kasha Davis,
Copy !req
16. sashay away.
Copy !req
17. Whoo!
Copy !req
18. - Oh, girl.
- Single digits!
Copy !req
19. "Love to the moon & back,
Copy !req
20. MKD."
Copy !req
21. I'm starting to feel that
they're putting me on the bottom
Copy !req
22. so that I can just take out
the other girls.
Copy !req
23. I took out
the two oldest ones.
Copy !req
24. Ru gave me another chance.
Copy !req
25. So I'm just gonna have to
go crazy,
Copy !req
26. untuck, and act a fool.
Copy !req
27. So who is everybody that
had won in the categories?
Copy !req
28. - I won!
- Me.
Copy !req
29. The award that was
so unexpected was Violet.
Copy !req
30. Shady lady!
Copy !req
31. How do you feel about
winning that award?
Copy !req
32. You know, I was kind of
expecting it.
Copy !req
33. Yeah, me too.
Copy !req
34. I think people think
I'm mean,
Copy !req
35. but everything I've done here
either comes from
Copy !req
36. a place of humor
or a place of truth.
Copy !req
37. I just want you guys to know
that I am gonna be working on
Copy !req
38. the way I come across.
Copy !req
39. - I won't hold my breath.
- We will be judging you.
Copy !req
40. Well, congrats to Max
and Pearl.
Copy !req
41. Yes, congratulations!
Copy !req
42. Girl, how do you feel?
Copy !req
43. 'Cause I know you were having,
like, a meltdown.
Copy !req
44. No, I was not feeling it
today. I wasn't.
Copy !req
45. I could tell.
Copy !req
46. I was not expecting Pearl to
pull through that strong.
Copy !req
47. It makes me frustrated,
Copy !req
48. because I am so grateful
to be here,
Copy !req
49. and she's, like, every other day
like, this. I'm out."
Copy !req
50. The energy is so toxic.
Copy !req
51. I can't shower positive energy
on that.
Copy !req
52. I don't even want it near me.
Copy !req
53. RuPaul's Drag Race
Copy !req
54. The winner of
RuPaul's Drag Racereceives
Copy !req
55. a 1-year supply of Anastasia
Beverly Hills cosmetics
Copy !req
56. and a cash prize of $100,000.
Copy !req
57. With extra-special guest judges
Copy !req
58. Merle Ginsberg
Copy !req
59. and Ariana Grande.
Copy !req
60. RuPaul's Drag Race
Copy !req
61. May the best woman
Copy !req
62. Best woman win
Copy !req
63. Yes, ma'am, Pam.
Copy !req
64. My God.
Copy !req
65. Whoo!
Copy !req
66. We're back.
Copy !req
67. And then there were nine.
Copy !req
68. If you guys had to have sex
Copy !req
69. with one other queen
in this room, who would it be?
Copy !req
70. - Oh, my God.
- Oh, my!
Copy !req
71. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
72. These girls are all
so vulgar.
Copy !req
73. I mean, they're all very sexual.
Copy !req
74. Can I pick
more than one?
Copy !req
75. Yeah!
Copy !req
76. We'll probably all pick Katya
just because she won Media Stud.
Copy !req
77. Well, who is the top,
and who's the bottom?
Copy !req
78. We're talking about sex.
Copy !req
79. We're not talking
about sex.
Copy !req
80. Max wasn't having it, darling.
Copy !req
81. It's like, "Girl, calm down."
Copy !req
82. - Ooh!
- Good gracious.
Copy !req
83. Sheila all ready
to have herses.
Copy !req
84. - Hey, Queens.
Hi.
Copy !req
85. A lace front wig has a front
and a back.
Copy !req
86. But there are three sides
to every story—
Copy !req
87. yours, mine,
Copy !req
88. and the T, Miss Thing.
Copy !req
89. And sometimes the truth
Copy !req
90. is 100% unbeweaveable.
Copy !req
91. Something with wigs.
Copy !req
92. Girl, and now I can't use
my black spray.
Copy !req
93. Hello, hello, hello.
Copy !req
94. Hi, Ru.
Copy !req
95. Ladies, America's next
drag superstar
Copy !req
96. needs to stay calm
Copy !req
97. and carry on
Copy !req
98. no matter what pops up.
Copy !req
99. Oh, Pit Crew!
Copy !req
100. - Yay!
- Ooh.
Copy !req
101. Wow!
Copy !req
102. Looks like the Pit Crew
invited some
Copy !req
103. of their little friends over
for a playdate.
Copy !req
104. I'm gonna pass out.
Copy !req
105. I'm taking in the buffet
right now.
Copy !req
106. Every size and color—
it's like Epcot
Copy !req
107. for the thirsty bitches.
Copy !req
108. Now, for today's
mini challenge,
Copy !req
109. we're gonna play
a little game called
Copy !req
110. Monster in Your Pants.
Copy !req
111. Most of these mens
have a number
Copy !req
112. tucked inside
their Justin Case underwear.
Copy !req
113. Now, you call out a name,
Copy !req
114. he reaches into his drawers,
Copy !req
115. and whips it out.
Copy !req
116. Ooh.
Copy !req
117. Now, you'll need to gobble up
as many points as possible.
Copy !req
118. But be careful,
because one of you bastards
Copy !req
119. has a monster in your pants.
Copy !req
120. If you pick the monster
before you freeze your points,
Copy !req
121. you're out of the game.
Copy !req
122. All right, first up,
Copy !req
123. come on over, Miss Fame.
Copy !req
124. The rest of you wait outside
for your turn.
Copy !req
125. Miss Fame,
call out a name.
Copy !req
126. I'm gonna go with Dick.
Copy !req
127. Everybody loves Dick.
Copy !req
128. 10! 10 points.
Copy !req
129. Yay!
Copy !req
130. I'm gonna go with Jack.
Copy !req
131. There it is.
Copy !req
132. Joe.
Copy !req
133. - No!
- Joe!
Copy !req
134. Shoot!
Copy !req
135. I'm gonna start with Fang.
Copy !req
136. - 9!
- All right.
Copy !req
137. We're off to a good start.
Copy !req
138. I think I'll go with Boo.
Copy !req
139. Oh!
Copy !req
140. Katya!
Copy !req
141. I have no idea what the rules
of this game are.
Copy !req
142. I don't care what they are.
Copy !req
143. Just, when do I get to
them?
Copy !req
144. I can't say that?
I can't say that either?
Copy !req
145. All right, Katya.
Call out a name.
Copy !req
146. Okay, Dude.
Copy !req
147. Show us what you got.
Copy !req
148. - Oh!
- Oh, mother!
Copy !req
149. God.
Son of a mother
Copy !req
150. whore bitch—
the first time?
Copy !req
151. The first time out?
Copy !req
152. I love me some BJ,
but I'll go with Papi.
Copy !req
153. 21/2.
Copy !req
154. Rod.
Come on, come on.
Copy !req
155. - Oh, Rod.
- Oh, no!
Copy !req
156. BJ.
Copy !req
157. - Fang.
- John.
Copy !req
158. Oh, shoot!
Copy !req
159. - Rod.
- 9.
Copy !req
160. Mary.
Copy !req
161. 81/2!
Copy !req
162. - Jack.
- Whip it out, Jack.
Copy !req
163. Ooh, Girl!
Copy !req
164. - I think I wanna freeze.
- You wanna freeze.
Copy !req
165. - I wanna freeze.
- She's gonna freeze.
Copy !req
166. All right.
Copy !req
167. Pearl, this may be your chance
to finally get that necklace.
Copy !req
168. Jack.
Copy !req
169. 61/2.
Copy !req
170. Fang.
Copy !req
171. - 9!
- Yes!
Copy !req
172. Who's talking to you?
Copy !req
173. Pete.
Copy !req
174. Oy!
Copy !req
175. you, Pete!
you, Pete.
Copy !req
176. All right, ladies.
Copy !req
177. Time to get that blood rushing
right back up to your brains.
Copy !req
178. The one queen
Copy !req
179. that inched her way
to victory is
Copy !req
180. Ginger Minj.
Copy !req
181. For this week's maxi challenge,
you'll be acting
Copy !req
182. in the behind-the-scenes
reenactment series
Copy !req
183. This week's episode
Copy !req
184. Whatever Happened
to Merle Ginsberg?
Copy !req
185. Y'all remember Merle?
Copy !req
186. She sat by my side
for the first two seasons
Copy !req
187. of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Copy !req
188. Why, I could almost see her now.
Copy !req
189. So soft, so wise,
Copy !req
190. so blurry.
Copy !req
191. In teams of three,
you'll portray Merle,
Copy !req
192. myself,
and Michelle Visage,
Copy !req
193. as you reenact
our very different versions
Copy !req
194. of what had happened?
Copy !req
195. Now, Ginger Minj,
you won the mini challenge
Copy !req
196. so you get to pick
your two teammates.
Copy !req
197. Kennedy Davenport
Copy !req
198. and Katya.
Copy !req
199. And then you get to assign
the other two groups.
Copy !req
200. Max, Violet, and Kandy.
Copy !req
201. I think that Ginger knows
Violet and Kandy
Copy !req
202. have not been the strongest
performance-wise.
Copy !req
203. Regardless, I am gonna
whip 'em into shape.
Copy !req
204. And that means team three
is Miss Fame,
Copy !req
205. Jaidynn,
and Pearl.
Copy !req
206. God damn it,
it's me and Pearl yet again.
Copy !req
207. I'm frustrated.
Copy !req
208. Now listen, I need you to
break this mystery wide open.
Copy !req
209. Gentlemen, start your engines,
Copy !req
210. and may the best woman win.
Copy !req
211. Y'all wanna roll through it
just so we can kind of
Copy !req
212. get the hang of it
so we don't mess up?
Copy !req
213. What if we were, like, doing,
like, a three-way scissor?
Copy !req
214. Or, like, a triangle
toenail clipping?
Copy !req
215. Or, like,
a toenail polishing thing?
Copy !req
216. Okay.
Copy !req
217. Pearl was having a good time.
Copy !req
218. "What if we did this?"
Copy !req
219. And I'm like, "Well,
what if we learn our lines?"
Copy !req
220. What I would like to do,
Copy !req
221. just kind of start
acting stuff out
Copy !req
222. so it gets in our brains
and stuff.
Copy !req
223. I ain't trying to get up
in front of these people
Copy !req
224. and look a fool again
and go home
Copy !req
225. 'cause y'all wanna do a stunt.
Copy !req
226. 'Cause I just don't wanna bomb
this, 'cause we gotta win.
Copy !req
227. Coming up...
Copy !req
228. I love a strong—
I don't know the line.
Copy !req
229. I'm, like, so struggling
right now.
Copy !req
230. This is just embarrassing
for me.
Copy !req
231. Should I not talk about
my feelings?
Copy !req
232. Just say the line.
Copy !req
233. We just gotta have fun
with this
Copy !req
234. because there's
nothing to this
Copy !req
235. but being completely
nonsensical.
Copy !req
236. For our maxi challenge
this week,
Copy !req
237. we have to reenact
the Ru Hollywood Story of,
Copy !req
238. what the hell ever happened
to Merle Ginsberg?
Copy !req
239. Okay, so how do we feel
about characters?
Copy !req
240. I don't know.
Copy !req
241. I'm a little bit over
these acting group challenges.
Copy !req
242. I'm sick of memorizing lines
and lyrics
Copy !req
243. and having to work with people
that are not myself.
Copy !req
244. I'm not really comfortable
playing Ru.
Copy !req
245. Do you wanna try Merle?
Copy !req
246. I was comfortable
with Michelle,
Copy !req
247. but it's 'cause
I could do that Jersey thing.
Copy !req
248. The Merle one, I-I—
that one's off for me
Copy !req
249. because I do not know nothing
about her.
Copy !req
250. The attitude shouldn't be,
I don't know how to do this,
Copy !req
251. or I'm uncomfortable with it.
Copy !req
252. The attitude needs to be
positive and excited.
Copy !req
253. It's like,
Copy !req
254. Good-bye, Merle?
Copy !req
255. But I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
256. Ru and I are
great friends.
Copy !req
257. Well, I'm her best friend,
okay?
Copy !req
258. And I'm supposed to be
a judge here.
Copy !req
259. You got it, Merly girl?
Copy !req
260. Ginger is gonna be
the evil villain,
Copy !req
261. which is perfect,
Copy !req
262. because she's playing it like
Copy !req
263. Ginger Minj as Danny DeVito
Copy !req
264. as Tony Soprano
Copy !req
265. as the Fonz
as Michelle Visage.
Copy !req
266. Hey, Merle,
how's my cake?
Copy !req
267. Don't you want sprinkles?
Copy !req
268. So I have to find a way
Copy !req
269. to kind of not get overshadowed
by Ginger.
Copy !req
270. Hello, hello, hello!
Copy !req
271. Hi!
Copy !req
272. Now, in a moment,
you'll meet with Ross Mathews
Copy !req
273. who will be directing
your Ru-enactments.
Copy !req
274. And tomorrow,
for the runway,
Copy !req
275. category is
Death Becomes Her.
Copy !req
276. Oh!
Copy !req
277. Now a warning?
Copy !req
278. Gentlemen, start your engines,
Copy !req
279. and may the best woman win.
Copy !req
280. Ginger, Kennedy, Katya,
how are you?
Copy !req
281. - Good.
- Very good.
Copy !req
282. Who's gonna play RuPaul?
Copy !req
283. Me.
Copy !req
284. It's just a joke, honey.
Copy !req
285. I kind of
figured that out.
Copy !req
286. Right.
Copy !req
287. You're doing Merle's story.
Copy !req
288. I'm ready.
Copy !req
289. Okay, places!
Copy !req
290. Action!
Copy !req
291. Good-bye, Merle?
Copy !req
292. But I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
293. Ru and I are
great friends.
Copy !req
294. Well, I'm her best friend,
see?
Copy !req
295. Ru, I brought you a cake.
Copy !req
296. All the brothers will like—
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
297. It's all right, honey.
Copy !req
298. All the brothers will
wanna eat this cake.
Copy !req
299. Speaking of,
Copy !req
300. I have to go speak to
the new Pit Crew.
Copy !req
301. Cut!
Copy !req
302. That was a little rocky.
Copy !req
303. Kennedy's RuPaul was the
weirdest thing ever.
Copy !req
304. You have job security
Copy !req
305. for the rest
of your life!
Copy !req
306. That was like...
Copy !req
307. I am just sending up a silent
prayer at this point
Copy !req
308. that we do not get dragged down
into the bottom
Copy !req
309. because of her.
Copy !req
310. Hello, Team Two.
Copy !req
311. - Hello.
- Hi, Ross.
Copy !req
312. Places!
Okay, ready.
Copy !req
313. Max, this is how
you see Merle?
Copy !req
314. Well, it's not how
I see Merle,
Copy !req
315. but it's Michelle's side
of the story.
Copy !req
316. So thought behind this
performance, huh?
Copy !req
317. Oh, of course.
Copy !req
318. Yeah, you are
the Meryl Streep of drag.
Copy !req
319. Action.
Copy !req
320. You can have my job, tramp!
Copy !req
321. Because I'm taking RuPaul's!
Copy !req
322. What?
Copy !req
323. Um, let's cut.
Copy !req
324. So on your, "What?"
you should be like, "What?"
Copy !req
325. upset about it,
grab your drink,
Copy !req
326. take a sip, you know,
Copy !req
327. to cool—
to calm yourself down.
Copy !req
328. - Okay.
- Right?
Copy !req
329. I'm supposed to hold a cake
and a drink
Copy !req
330. while I do all of this?
Copy !req
331. No one said it was easy.
Copy !req
332. Action!
Copy !req
333. Stay away from my man!
Copy !req
334. Mother—
Copy !req
335. Can I get my line,
please?
Copy !req
336. Mother does not play that.
Copy !req
337. Mother does not play!
Copy !req
338. That.
Copy !req
339. Oh, play that.
Copy !req
340. Play that.
Action!
Copy !req
341. Stay away from my man!
Copy !req
342. Mother does not play!
Copy !req
343. That.
Copy !req
344. Let's do it again.
Copy !req
345. !
Copy !req
346. Look at you.
Copy !req
347. Hi, Ross Mathews.
Copy !req
348. Your scene today
is RuPaul's story.
Copy !req
349. - Mm-hmm.
- Yes.
Copy !req
350. So a lot rests
on your shoulders.
Copy !req
351. I know.
Copy !req
352. Okay, let's get in positions.
Action.
Copy !req
353. You two are crazy!
Copy !req
354. I forgot my line!
Copy !req
355. I began to get frustrated.
Copy !req
356. And then next thing you know...
Copy !req
357. Get the crazy one and—
Copy !req
358. I'm just forgetting
all my lines.
Copy !req
359. RuPaul, my monkeys made you
this potato salad.
Copy !req
360. Yay, I love a strong—
Copy !req
361. I don't know the line.
Copy !req
362. Yay, I love emotional
time travel movies
Copy !req
363. with a strong female lead.
Copy !req
364. Yay, I love
a strong female lead.
Copy !req
365. I love a—
Copy !req
366. I'm, like, so struggling
right now, to be honest.
Copy !req
367. With—
What's the struggle?
Copy !req
368. This is, like, honestly,
the toughest day I've had here
Copy !req
369. in this competition,
and I'm—
Copy !req
370. I like to be professional,
Copy !req
371. and this is just embarrassing
for me.
Copy !req
372. I hear you.
Copy !req
373. I just—I want to do better
than this,
Copy !req
374. and I'm hitting a wall.
Copy !req
375. I want to talk real, and I'm,
like, in a room of people
Copy !req
376. and, like, this is a chance
of a lifetime
Copy !req
377. and I'm finding myself having
a conversation with myself.
Copy !req
378. Miss Fame decides to
Copy !req
379. stop everything.
Copy !req
380. Just say the line!
Copy !req
381. You know, I have not been to
this place before
Copy !req
382. so I'm trying to, like—
Copy !req
383. It's fine.
Just, like, be funny.
Copy !req
384. I just don't know
what's better.
Copy !req
385. Should I not talk about
my feelings or should I just—
Copy !req
386. I mean, obviously,
just keep moving on?
Copy !req
387. Oh, my God, I feel like
I'm dating you.
Copy !req
388. We'll talk—
We'll talk later.
Copy !req
389. We just gotta get through
this scene.
Copy !req
390. I don't want to disappoint
anybody that's believed in me.
Copy !req
391. I don't want to make RuPaul
disappointed that I'm here
Copy !req
392. because I'm not producing,
'cause I care a lot.
Copy !req
393. I care a lot about, like,
my success.
Copy !req
394. Coming up...
Copy !req
395. Our runway look is
Death Becomes Her.
Copy !req
396. How would your drag character
die?
Copy !req
397. Is she a chicken or a horse?
Copy !req
398. That is open to interpretation.
Copy !req
399. Let's do it.
Copy !req
400. Let's do it,
do it, do it.
Copy !req
401. Let's get this party started.
Copy !req
402. Our runway look this week is
Death Becomes Her.
Copy !req
403. How would your drag character
die?
Copy !req
404. Oh, Girl, that is
open to interpretation,
Copy !req
405. so I can't wait to see what
these other bitches pull out.
Copy !req
406. For my Death Becomes Her look,
Copy !req
407. I'm going to be—
Copy !req
408. Gee, I don't know
what I wanna be.
Copy !req
409. Maybe burned, and...
Copy !req
410. I kind of morphosize
into a Glamazon,
Copy !req
411. but before that,
it's, like, a night of hooking.
Copy !req
412. Katya, how did your family
feel about doing drag?
Copy !req
413. Oh, they're amazing.
Copy !req
414. I never had anything to worry
about or feel self-conscious of.
Copy !req
415. Girl, I wish my mama
would be like that.
Copy !req
416. What's your mom like,
Jaidynn?
Copy !req
417. Me and my mama are, like,
best friends,
Copy !req
418. but it's just kind of hard
because—
Copy !req
419. - Of the drag?
- Not really the drag thing,
Copy !req
420. it's just sexuality.
Copy !req
421. I have not officially come out
to my family yet.
Copy !req
422. We just kind of ignore
the issue.
Copy !req
423. So they're okay
with the drag,
Copy !req
424. but they're not okay
with you being gay?
Copy !req
425. They're not even really okay
with the drag.
Copy !req
426. They just know I do it.
Copy !req
427. My mom kind of
lets me know,
Copy !req
428. "No, you ain't going
in that direction."
Copy !req
429. You know,
she'll send me a text,
Copy !req
430. and she'll be like,
"Well, I'm just so grateful
Copy !req
431. that one day you're gonna
find you a wife."
Copy !req
432. It's just kind of hard because,
you know, I love my family.
Copy !req
433. I love my mama, and my biggest
fear is being disowned.
Copy !req
434. - Yeah.
- And that's a real fear.
Copy !req
435. It's, like, a serious fear.
Copy !req
436. Yeah.
Copy !req
437. I think it may change the—
my relationship
Copy !req
438. with my brothers, my mom.
Copy !req
439. And that's what
I'm scared of most.
Copy !req
440. And that's the reason why
I kind of just stay to myself.
Copy !req
441. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
442. Ooh.
Ooh, child.
Copy !req
443. And that's the thing is, I don't
want to live without my family.
Copy !req
444. I love my family too much.
Copy !req
445. You know what I'm saying?
Copy !req
446. - Totally.
- It's just crazy
Copy !req
447. to not be able to be, like,
your authentic self.
Copy !req
448. Even in your home.
Copy !req
449. And it's either, you know,
I'll just live my life
Copy !req
450. and marry a woman
Copy !req
451. and do what my family wants me
to do and be unhappy,
Copy !req
452. or I can do me.
Copy !req
453. So it's one of the two.
Copy !req
454. Well then, do you
and be happy.
Copy !req
455. It's just
a complicated thing.
Copy !req
456. In the end, I just want to be
accepted for—for who I am.
Copy !req
457. And I want people to know
Copy !req
458. that gay is okay.
Copy !req
459. Cover girl
Copy !req
460. Put the bass in your walk
Copy !req
461. Head to toe
Copy !req
462. Let your whole body talk
Copy !req
463. And what?
Copy !req
464. Welcome to the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Copy !req
465. Merle Ginsberg, OMG!
Copy !req
466. Ru, my world's been empty
without you.
Copy !req
467. Did my restraining order
expire?
Copy !req
468. And, Michelle Visage.
Copy !req
469. Watch your back, honey.
Copy !req
470. No, seriously,
watch your back.
Copy !req
471. Super judge, Ross Mathews,
Copy !req
472. what was it like
directing my girls?
Copy !req
473. Oh, I was so good
at directing,
Copy !req
474. I kind of gave myself
a Woody Allen.
Copy !req
475. Hey.
Copy !req
476. And my everything,
Copy !req
477. Ariana Grande.
Copy !req
478. This is the best day
of my life.
Copy !req
479. - I'm not lying.
Copy !req
480. So glad you're here.
Copy !req
481. Thank you.
Copy !req
482. This week,
we challenged our queens
Copy !req
483. to Ru-enact the mystery
of Merle Ginsberg.
Copy !req
484. Tonight, they're ready
to murder the runway
Copy !req
485. in their Death Becomes Her
ensembles.
Copy !req
486. Gentlemen, start your engines,
Copy !req
487. and may the best woman win.
Copy !req
488. Now, sissy that walk
Copy !req
489. Katya.
Copy !req
490. Something seems
really fishy here.
Copy !req
491. I think we're gonna need
a bigger boat.
Copy !req
492. I'm summoning up my best
Tara Reid in Sharknado.
Copy !req
493. I've got the stringy,
blond hair,
Copy !req
494. and I'm feeling
the Shark Week fantasy.
Copy !req
495. They both have fabulous
mouths, don't you think?
Copy !req
496. Yes.
Copy !req
497. And they both unhinge
at the jaw.
Copy !req
498. Ginger Minj.
Copy !req
499. Looks like she suffered
a grizzly death—oh!
Copy !req
500. I am serving you baby bear
realness, honey.
Copy !req
501. I give a little spin.
I strike a little pose.
Copy !req
502. I give a little growl.
Copy !req
503. Somebody's got
their claws done.
Copy !req
504. She's bringing bear back.
Copy !req
505. You go, Growl.
Copy !req
506. LaGuardia Newark
Kennedy Davenport.
Copy !req
507. Kennedy fried chicken.
Copy !req
508. Is she a chicken or a horse?
Copy !req
509. Giddyap, girl.
Copy !req
510. After a night of hooking,
I got attacked
Copy !req
511. and thrown in the fire
and crystalized.
Copy !req
512. So I come out a fierce
Copy !req
513. Glamazon drag queen, honey.
Copy !req
514. A morality tale—
Copy !req
515. do not go to Tijuana
for your plastic surgery.
Copy !req
516. No.
Copy !req
517. Max.
Copy !req
518. - Oh.
- Pretty.
Copy !req
519. The ghost of drag present.
Copy !req
520. I'm doing a jilted lover.
Copy !req
521. She's stuck in purgatory
as a ghost
Copy !req
522. because she committed suicide
by cutting out her own heart.
Copy !req
523. It's very tragic.
Copy !req
524. You know, a little club soda
will take that right out.
Copy !req
525. Now, that's
a heart-stopping look.
Copy !req
526. Organ donor realness.
Copy !req
527. Kandy Ho.
Copy !req
528. Queen of the damned.
Copy !req
529. I vant to smell
your veave.
Copy !req
530. I am feeling fierce
right now.
Copy !req
531. I'm just a sexy vampire.
Copy !req
532. I think she was
fang banged to death.
Copy !req
533. If she's lucky.
Copy !req
534. Kristen Stewart is
eating her heart out.
Copy !req
535. - Miss Fame.
- Oh!
Copy !req
536. I wonder what's running
through her head right now.
Copy !req
537. Living.
Copy !req
538. I've been captured by
the bride of the man
Copy !req
539. that I've been
having an affair with.
Copy !req
540. And bitch got me with a blade
through the skull.
Copy !req
541. She's got
a splitting headache.
Copy !req
542. The last time
I'll eat at Benihana.
Copy !req
543. Pearl. Oh!
Copy !req
544. My safe word is "whiplash."
Copy !req
545. Walking's difficult
with the new legs.
Copy !req
546. I'm feeling like all of
my bones are gonna give out
Copy !req
547. at any given moment
and some poor janitor
Copy !req
548. is gonna have to sweep up
my cre-mains.
Copy !req
549. You should really stop
at the second face-lift.
Copy !req
550. - Yeah.
- It's quite enough.
Copy !req
551. At least she had
the ribs removed.
Copy !req
552. Jaidynn Diore Fierce.
Copy !req
553. Orange is the new drag.
Copy !req
554. I think she's looking
really ripped.
Copy !req
555. What had happened was
I got put in jail,
Copy !req
556. and then I tried to escape
to go see my baby daddy.
Copy !req
557. And I didn't quite make it
over that fence.
Copy !req
558. It is criminal
to look that good.
Copy !req
559. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
560. She rises from the dead
once a month
Copy !req
561. to meet her parole officer.
Copy !req
562. Violet Chachki.
Copy !req
563. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
564. She is wasted.
Copy !req
565. I'm numb from the waist down,
Copy !req
566. tuck included.
Copy !req
567. I really could die, bitch.
I'm giving you realness.
Copy !req
568. He's got a smaller waist
than Barbie.
Copy !req
569. Oh, don't sneeze, honey.
It's all gonna pop.
Copy !req
570. - Amazing.
- Work it!
Copy !req
571. Now sissy that walk
Copy !req
572. Coming up...
Copy !req
573. You as me?
I wasn't seeing it.
Copy !req
574. The comic timing
needed some polish.
Copy !req
575. And now we're gonna go to
you portraying me.
Copy !req
576. What the was that?
Copy !req
577. Ladies, let's watch
my favorite new show,
Copy !req
578. Ru Hollywood Stories.
Copy !req
579. First up,
Copy !req
580. Merle's story.
Copy !req
581. I'm Merle Ginsberg,
and this is my story.
Copy !req
582. I was at
the craft service table
Copy !req
583. getting my morning martini,
Copy !req
584. and I spotted RuPaul and said,
Copy !req
585. "Hey, Rusy-Q,
Copy !req
586. I'm so glad to be back
for Season 3."
Copy !req
587. And RuPaul said,
"Oh, Merly Girl,
Copy !req
588. "I could never do the show
without you.
Copy !req
589. You have job security
for the rest of your life."
Copy !req
590. Oh.
Copy !req
591. Little did I know
that we were not alone.
Copy !req
592. Oh!
Oh, my God, you scared me.
Copy !req
593. I didn't see you there.
Copy !req
594. Not very observant
for a judge, bitch.
Copy !req
595. Ru, I brought you
a cake.
Copy !req
596. All of the brothers will
want to eat this cake.
Copy !req
597. Speaking of,
I need to say hey
Copy !req
598. to the new Pit Crew.
Copy !req
599. Good-bye, Merle?
Copy !req
600. But I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
601. Ru and I are
great friends.
Copy !req
602. Well, I'm her best friend,
see?
Copy !req
603. And I'm supposed to be
a judge here!
Copy !req
604. Someone must have slipped
something in my drink,
Copy !req
605. because I could not believe
what happened next.
Copy !req
606. But the surveillance camera
caught everything.
Copy !req
607. What in the name
of La Toya Jackson
Copy !req
608. is going on here?
Copy !req
609. Merle fell and I think she
bumped that part of her brain.
Copy !req
610. Now she can't judge good drag
from bad.
Copy !req
611. But we're supposed to be
shooting Season 3.
Copy !req
612. Well, I guess I'll just
have to take her place.
Copy !req
613. And that's how
that devil bitch,
Copy !req
614. Michelle Visage,
stole my job.
Copy !req
615. Next up, Michelle's story.
Copy !req
616. I'm Michelle Visage,
Copy !req
617. and here's what really happened.
Copy !req
618. I was visiting the set
the first day of Season 3,
Copy !req
619. sippin' on my sizzurp,
Copy !req
620. and then I noticed RuPaul more
upset than I'd ever seen before
Copy !req
621. because Merle was saying,
Copy !req
622. "You know, Ru,
these earrings would look
Copy !req
623. so much better on
someone pretty, like me."
Copy !req
624. And Ru said something like...
Copy !req
625. Stay away from
my things,
Copy !req
626. and stay away from
my man!
Copy !req
627. Mother does not play that!
Copy !req
628. And I was like,
"This bitch?"
Copy !req
629. I had to step in.
Copy !req
630. Hey, you guys,
I brought us all a cake.
Copy !req
631. How sweet.
Copy !req
632. Let me tell the boys.
Copy !req
633. Well, look at
this little witch,
Copy !req
634. trying to steal my job!
Copy !req
635. Of course not.
Copy !req
636. You can have my job,
Copy !req
637. because I'm taking
RuPaul's!
Copy !req
638. Get ready for
Merle Ginsberg Drag Race.
Copy !req
639. And then someone must have
slipped something into my drink,
Copy !req
640. because I couldn't believe
what happened next.
Copy !req
641. But the surveillance camera
caught everything.
Copy !req
642. And the next thing I remember,
Copy !req
643. Merle was trying
to kill Ru!
Copy !req
644. What in the name
of Janice Dickinson
Copy !req
645. is going on here?
Copy !req
646. She was trying to kill you
and then take over the show.
Copy !req
647. But Season 3 is coming,
and I need a judge.
Copy !req
648. Michelle, could you?
Copy !req
649. Then I said, reluctantly,
Copy !req
650. "If Ru needs me, then yes.
Copy !req
651. Yes, I will become a judge
on
Copy !req
652. And that's why that devil bitch,
Merle Ginsberg,
Copy !req
653. left the show.
Copy !req
654. Next up, my story.
Copy !req
655. Well, y'all know what my name is
Copy !req
656. but, quite frankly,
this is how it really went down.
Copy !req
657. I was oiling up the Pit Crew
Copy !req
658. when Merle came over to me
and said,
Copy !req
659. "What if the drag queens
judge us
Copy !req
660. instead of us judging them?"
Copy !req
661. And I said,
"Only Judy can judge me."
Copy !req
662. And then Michelle showed up,
Copy !req
663. and she had no cake.
Copy !req
664. All she brought me was some
dried up, old, nasty muffins.
Copy !req
665. And they weren't even
gluten-free.
Copy !req
666. Happy Hanukah, RuPaul.
Copy !req
667. My monkeys made you
the potato salad.
Copy !req
668. Ooh. Yay, I love an emotional
time travel movie
Copy !req
669. with a strong female lead.
Copy !req
670. You two should talk.
Copy !req
671. I have to get to
the... Pit Crew.
Copy !req
672. A Worm stole
my credit card once.
Copy !req
673. German tourists
often wear sandals.
Copy !req
674. Oh.
Copy !req
675. I wish somebody had slipped
something in my drink, Kennedy,
Copy !req
676. 'cause what had happened next
was cray-cray.
Copy !req
677. And, child, that surveillance
camera caught everything.
Copy !req
678. Felt like I was in the middle
of Freaknik in Miami, Florida.
Copy !req
679. Oh!
Copy !req
680. Oh! Oh.
Copy !req
681. Oh! Oh!
Copy !req
682. Oh!
Copy !req
683. What in the name
of Fantasia Barrino
Copy !req
684. is going on up in here?
Copy !req
685. Who are we gonna get
to judge Season 3?
Copy !req
686. Just grab the crazy one
Copy !req
687. and put her
on the judges' panel.
Copy !req
688. And then
the Pit Crew said,
Copy !req
689. "Which one's
the crazy one?"
Copy !req
690. There you have it.
Copy !req
691. That's how that devil bitch,
Michelle Visage,
Copy !req
692. replaced that devil bitch,
Merle Ginsberg.
Copy !req
693. Hand to God, honey.
Copy !req
694. The video wasn't as bad
as I was expecting it to be.
Copy !req
695. I still don't know
what the I said,
Copy !req
696. and if you asked me
to repeat a line,
Copy !req
697. I would not know any of them.
Copy !req
698. Coming up...
Copy !req
699. You might have been playing a
dead person, but we were living.
Copy !req
700. I asked you for one thing.
Copy !req
701. I'm waiting,
and I'm becoming impatient.
Copy !req
702. Ladies, I've made
some decisions.
Copy !req
703. Ginger Minj,
Copy !req
704. yours is the winning team.
Copy !req
705. Yes!
Copy !req
706. You are all safe.
Copy !req
707. But tonight on the runway,
Copy !req
708. one of you stole the show.
Copy !req
709. Katya, condragulations.
Copy !req
710. You're the winner of
this week's challenge.
Copy !req
711. You'll receive
a $2,000 gift card
Copy !req
712. from Fabric Planet.
Copy !req
713. Yes!
Copy !req
714. I won a challenge!
I am so excited.
Copy !req
715. Bodily fluid's spraying out of
every orifice.
Copy !req
716. Katya, Ginger, and Kennedy,
Copy !req
717. you may leave the stage.
Copy !req
718. Now it's time
for the judges' critiques.
Copy !req
719. First up, Max.
Copy !req
720. You as me?
Copy !req
721. I wasn't seeing it.
Copy !req
722. It was a little
too masculine.
Copy !req
723. Max, I asked you
for one thing.
Copy !req
724. What was it
that I asked you for?
Copy !req
725. You asked me not to wear
any gray hair.
Copy !req
726. I'm waiting,
and I'm becoming impatient.
Copy !req
727. I couldn't disagree
with Michelle more.
Copy !req
728. I think if gray hair
is your thing,
Copy !req
729. I don't think
that's a bad thing.
Copy !req
730. And that's great, but nobody's
asking her to change,
Copy !req
731. just try something
different.
Copy !req
732. That's exactly what
changing is.
Copy !req
733. I love this look,
because it told a story,
Copy !req
734. and it was scary
but beautiful.
Copy !req
735. You just described
Michelle.
Copy !req
736. All right, up next,
Violet Chachki.
Copy !req
737. Now, how many inches
is your waist?
Copy !req
738. Either 18 or 19.
Copy !req
739. You might have been playing
a dead person,
Copy !req
740. but we were living.
Copy !req
741. Here's the thing,
you as me,
Copy !req
742. I'm not from Staten Island.
I am from New Jersey.
Copy !req
743. What's the difference?
Copy !req
744. We say our Rs, darling.
Copy !req
745. Well, it's a characterization,
Michelle.
Copy !req
746. Right, 'cause I always talk
like this, Ru!
Copy !req
747. Like I'm Jackie Mason.
Copy !req
748. All right, next up,
Kandy Ho.
Copy !req
749. I just am over
the vampire thing.
Copy !req
750. I feel like it's a cliche
at this point.
Copy !req
751. And as Ru,
the beard was back.
Copy !req
752. And what was going on with
the crazy hairline, girl?
Copy !req
753. It was so stiff.
Copy !req
754. I didn't think
you captured her at all.
Copy !req
755. All right, next up,
Miss Fame.
Copy !req
756. How's your head?
Copy !req
757. It hurts.
Copy !req
758. I can barely hear a thing
inside this—this muff.
Copy !req
759. It's like a shell.
Copy !req
760. She hasn't had
any complaints yet.
Copy !req
761. - Thank you, Michelle.
- You're welcome.
Copy !req
762. Yesterday, you had, like,
a mini breakdown on set.
Copy !req
763. - What was going on?
- It was self-sabotage.
Copy !req
764. My mouth is going, and I'm like,
"I can't shut up.
Copy !req
765. I cannot stop my mouth."
Copy !req
766. - Well, but I want you—
- I want to be present
Copy !req
767. and get it out of the way.
Copy !req
768. I'm a sensitive, heart
on my sleeve kind of person,
Copy !req
769. and I want to be able
to bring that to the panel.
Copy !req
770. Like, I want to show you that.
Copy !req
771. Well, but you have to learn
to listen.
Copy !req
772. Because when I talk to you,
you're a little bit ahead of
Copy !req
773. what I'm gonna say to you.
Copy !req
774. And the same with acting.
Copy !req
775. You have to be able to listen
Copy !req
776. so that you can respond
properly.
Copy !req
777. I don't see what these
bitches are talking about,
Copy !req
778. 'cause I think
you're fabulous.
Copy !req
779. Thank you.
Copy !req
780. All right, next up, Pearl.
Copy !req
781. Well, someone set their alarm
clock and finally woke up.
Copy !req
782. I definitely have shaken off
whatever was going on.
Copy !req
783. Talk about Death Becomes Her,
feels like the old self died
Copy !req
784. and the new self has emerged.
Copy !req
785. And now we're gonna go
to you portraying me.
Copy !req
786. What the was that?
Copy !req
787. I came alive when I put
that breastplate on.
Copy !req
788. It seems to work
for everyone.
Copy !req
789. Except for you.
Oh.
Copy !req
790. Next up,
Jaidynn Diore Fierce.
Copy !req
791. I got the convict,
Copy !req
792. 'cause I might have dated
a few in my day.
Copy !req
793. But for some reason,
looking at everybody,
Copy !req
794. I feel like it's
just a rung lower than them.
Copy !req
795. Yesterday was frustrating
Copy !req
796. because you didn't know
the lines.
Copy !req
797. Yeah.
Copy !req
798. So that bummed me out,
'cause I think you're so good.
Copy !req
799. Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
Copy !req
800. While you untuck backstage,
Copy !req
801. the judges and I
will deliberate.
Copy !req
802. Now, just between us squirrel
friends, what do you think?
Copy !req
803. Let's start with Max.
Copy !req
804. You know, what was so
interesting,
Copy !req
805. she came out very,
like, goofy,
Copy !req
806. and I said,
"Do you wanna fix that?"
Copy !req
807. And she said, "No, because this
is Michelle's version of Merle."
Copy !req
808. Oh.
Copy !req
809. And that's why, Michelle,
I cannot believe
Copy !req
810. that you would say that
Max is predictable.
Copy !req
811. Oh, you don't know every week
what she's gonna look like?
Copy !req
812. - No!
- Yeah, every week,
Copy !req
813. she's gonna have a white face,
gray hair,
Copy !req
814. and a spot on her face.
Copy !req
815. As somebody who always wears
their hair the same way,
Copy !req
816. I identify with Max.
Copy !req
817. Would you ever do
gray hair?
Copy !req
818. If it were in
a ponytail.
Copy !req
819. Violet Chachki.
Copy !req
820. I called her out
on the comedy timing,
Copy !req
821. but that's just not
her strong suit.
Copy !req
822. But to stand up there that
whole time cinched like that,
Copy !req
823. that was amazing.
Copy !req
824. I know, Ru, that you've
heard of Mr. Pearl.
Copy !req
825. Yes.
Copy !req
826. The most famous corset maker
in the world.
Copy !req
827. Think he has something
like a 16-inch waist.
Copy !req
828. And I thought, I will never see
a person who looks like that.
Copy !req
829. And tonight, we did.
Copy !req
830. I miss us, Merle.
Copy !req
831. I know, Ru.
I do, too.
Copy !req
832. So let's move on
to Kandy Ho.
Copy !req
833. I feel like
she's flatlined.
Copy !req
834. It was all wrong.
Copy !req
835. I think that she was beautiful,
and I loved her movement,
Copy !req
836. but I don't find her
particularly memorable.
Copy !req
837. Miss Fame.
Copy !req
838. Now, Ross, I know she had
a little bit of a breakdown.
Copy !req
839. She actually timed out and said,
"Can I have a real moment here?"
Copy !req
840. I don't know. I love
a kind of emotional diva.
Copy !req
841. I just kind of
relate to that.
Copy !req
842. Pearl.
Pearl has come a long way.
Copy !req
843. Her acting in the skit,
I really, really enjoyed it.
Copy !req
844. Now, have you and Michelle ever
made out in a vat of Jell-O?
Copy !req
845. I think I would
remember that.
Copy !req
846. Is that what you're saying
now in public?
Copy !req
847. Yeah, roll tape.
Jaidynn Diore Fierce.
Copy !req
848. When I got to sit with her
on the set,
Copy !req
849. there were these moments
of good,
Copy !req
850. but to get there
was so much work.
Copy !req
851. That might be okay
if you're doing dinner theater,
Copy !req
852. but on the stage
of
Copy !req
853. it's just not
gonna cut it.
Copy !req
854. All right, silence!
Copy !req
855. I've made my decision.
Copy !req
856. Bring back my ghouls.
Copy !req
857. Welcome back, ladies.
Copy !req
858. I've made some decisions.
Copy !req
859. Max.
Copy !req
860. You're safe.
Copy !req
861. Thank you.
Copy !req
862. Pearl.
Copy !req
863. You're safe.
Copy !req
864. Thank you.
Copy !req
865. Kandy Ho.
Copy !req
866. You vamped it up
on the runway,
Copy !req
867. but you didn't
sink your teeth
Copy !req
868. into the challenge.
Copy !req
869. I'm sorry, my dear,
Copy !req
870. but you are
up for elimination.
Copy !req
871. Violet Chachki.
Copy !req
872. You're safe.
Copy !req
873. Jaidynn Diore Fierce,
Copy !req
874. this week you failed
to break out.
Copy !req
875. Miss Fame,
Copy !req
876. you got stuck in your head,
Copy !req
877. and not just by
a 12-inch steak knife.
Copy !req
878. Jaidynn,
Copy !req
879. my dear, I'm sorry,
Copy !req
880. but you're up
for elimination.
Copy !req
881. Oh, Lord,
my heart is beating.
Copy !req
882. My feet are shaking,
Copy !req
883. and these are not
my dance heels.
Copy !req
884. Miss Fame, you're safe,
Copy !req
885. and you may join
the other girls.
Copy !req
886. Two queens stand before me.
Copy !req
887. Prior to tonight,
Copy !req
888. you were asked to prepare
Copy !req
889. a lip-sync performance
Copy !req
890. of Break Free
by Ariana Grande.
Copy !req
891. Ladies, this is
your last chance
Copy !req
892. to impress me
and save yourself
Copy !req
893. from elimination.
Copy !req
894. The time has come
Copy !req
895. to lip-synch
Copy !req
896. for your life.
Copy !req
897. Jaidynn has nothing on me
Copy !req
898. when it comes to lip-synching.
Copy !req
899. Girl, mnh-mnh.
Copy !req
900. Good luck,
Copy !req
901. and don't it up.
Copy !req
902. If you want it
Copy !req
903. Take it
Copy !req
904. I should've said it before
Copy !req
905. Tried to hide it
Copy !req
906. Fake it
Copy !req
907. I can't pretend anymore
Copy !req
908. I only wanna die alive...
Copy !req
909. I'm giving the judges
everything.
Copy !req
910. Honey, I want this.
Copy !req
911. This is my dream.
Copy !req
912. Don't wanna hear you
Copy !req
913. Lie tonight...
Copy !req
914. I'm giving it everything
I have.
Copy !req
915. I want the judges
to see it right.
Copy !req
916. This is
Copy !req
917. The part when I say
I don't want ya
Copy !req
918. I'm stronger than
I've been before
Copy !req
919. This is
Copy !req
920. The part when I break free
Copy !req
921. 'Cause I can't resist it
no more...
Copy !req
922. I am watching this lip sync
Copy !req
923. and getting my life.
Copy !req
924. These girls are going for blood.
Copy !req
925. This is gonna be a nail-biter
till the end.
Copy !req
926. It was fatal
Copy !req
927. In my dreams
It felt so right
Copy !req
928. But I woke up
Copy !req
929. Every time
Copy !req
930. Oh, baby
Copy !req
931. This is
Copy !req
932. The part when I say
I don't want ya
Copy !req
933. I'm stronger than
I've been before
Copy !req
934. This is
Copy !req
935. The part when I break free
Copy !req
936. 'Cause I can't resist it
Copy !req
937. No more
Copy !req
938. Huh, oh!
Copy !req
939. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
940. Oh, God.
Copy !req
941. Ladies, I've made
my decision.
Copy !req
942. Jaidynn Diore Fierce,
Copy !req
943. Shantay, you stay.
Copy !req
944. Thank you.
Copy !req
945. You may join the other girls.
Copy !req
946. Miss Ho,
you came from Puerto Rico,
Copy !req
947. but now the whole world
Copy !req
948. is gonna have a Kandy crush.
Copy !req
949. Now, sashay away.
Copy !req
950. It's a bittersweet moment.
Copy !req
951. I'm not gonna lie.
Copy !req
952. I would have wanted to stay
longer,
Copy !req
953. but I'm going to go to
Puerto Rico
Copy !req
954. and rub it against
other queens' faces,
Copy !req
955. because I was here
Copy !req
956. and you weren't.
Copy !req
957. Condragulations, ladies.
Copy !req
958. And remember,
if you can't love yourself,
Copy !req
959. how in the hell you gonna love
somebody else?
Copy !req
960. - Can I get an amen in here?
Amen!
Copy !req
961. All right,
now let the music play.
Copy !req
962. Take me up, up, up, up
Copy !req
963. Whoa, oh, up
Copy !req
964. Whoa, oh, up
Copy !req
965. We can...
Copy !req
966. Bye!
Copy !req
