RuPaul's Drag Race 8x4

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

2. Last week, double elimination

3. left a void that I've decided to fill with...

4. - Bitches, I'm back! Yeah!

5. - Naysha Lopez.

6. For this week's maxi challenge,

7. you'll be acting in "RuCo's Empire."

8. - Whoo!

9. Action.

10. - This.

11. This.

12. - I'm a strong, gay woman!

13. - Okay.

14. - Please, sir, empty your—

15. Please, ma'am, will you empty your pocketbook?

16. Gah!

17. - I feel like you're coming out and these clothes

18. are wearing you.

19. I'd love to see you show me that you do have soul.

20. - Bob The Drag Queen, condragulations,

21. you're the winner of this week's challenge.

22. Robbie Turner, shantay, you stay.

23. Cynthia Lee Fontaine, sashay away.

24. - Whoo! Uh-uh!

25. - Aw. - Cucu.

26. - Cynthia just got eliminated.

27. My continental Puerto Rican sister's gone.

28. I'm really sad.

29. - "Don't give up. Love you."

30. Isn't the sweetest?

31. I can't wait to see her again.

32. - You want her to come back then?

33. - Derrick, let's not get crazy.

34. - Cynthia is so loveable, but girl,

35. that may have been the worst outfit

36. in "Drag Race" history.

37. Alyssa, you're safe.

38. And those fucking jogging shorts she had on?

39. Red stockings?

40. Going out looking like Sofia Vergara's

41. less fortunate cousin,

42. the one she don't send money to.

43. - I think it was legendary

44. that you freaking did a lip-synch

45. for your life with skates. - Well—

46. - Bitch, you killed that shit.

47. - Actually, I'm feeling shaken in this competition right now,

48. and the thing that I know I can do—

49. acting, I fail at?

50. I'm feeling really disappointed in myself.

51. - I think I got good critiques,

52. like, we're seeing something different,

53. but then I got told from Michelle

54. that I don't really have a soul.

55. - Michelle said you don't have soul.

56. She didn't say you don't have a soul.

57. - Then I'll just start twerking.

58. Come on, berry bootie challenge.

59. Is that my soul? Come on, berry bootie.

60. - They don't want you to be—

61. - Girl, she ain't getting it.

62. - Betty has soul.

63. - This is Betty's character that she created.

64. - What you don't realize is Betty doesn't have a character.

65. This is just Betty.

66. - Yeah, you really need to find, like, who you are.

67. - That's not Britney Spears.

68. - I still don't get a sense of who Derrick Barry is

69. as a drag queen,

70. aside from the fact that he does Britney impersonation.

71. He needs to find ways to

72. take his drag much further.

73. - That could be a big problem for Derrick as we move forward,

74. and we're moving forward, honey.

75. The train's pulling out of the station.

76. - Oops, I did it again.

77. ♪ RuPaul Drag Race

78. - The winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race"

79. receives a one-year supply

80. of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics

81. and a cash prize of $100,000.

82. With extra special guest judges,

83. Lucian Piane,

84. and Blondie, Chris Stein and Debbie Harry.

85. - Hey, everyone.

86. Walk into the room purse first.

87. Purse first. Purse first. Purse first.

88. Ah, walk into the room purse first. Clack!

89. Ooh!

90. - Ooh, girl, she done already done had herses.

91. Hey, rock lobsters. Hey!

92. - One way or another, you've got to rock the Casbah,

93. and when the tide is high,

94. girl, I know what boys like.

95. Boys like me.

96. - What?

97. - Hello, hello, hello.

98. Now long before I became supermodel of the world,

99. I was in a punk rock band called Wee Wee Pole.

100. - Ha-ha!

101. I was inspired by bands like the B-52s...

102. - Yeah! - Wendy O. Williams...

103. - Whoo! - And my all-time favorite...

104. Blondie. Yes!

105. - Now for this week's Maxi Challenge,

106. you're going to form your own new wave band.

107. - Hey.

108. - Working in teams of three, you'll be writing lyrics

109. to original retro tracks.

110. You need to create a unique style

111. using clothes, shoes, and accessories

112. provided by Out of the Closet thrift stores.

113. And tomorrow, in front of an audience of groupies,

114. you'll be performing live.

115. Now I'm gonna let you all form your own band.

116. Anarchy!

117. - I love these bitches.

118. This is our team. Team Best Friend Race.

119. - You want to do New York?

120. - Oh. - Yeah!

121. - Team New York.

122. - The third team just seems like

123. leftovers just formed together.

124. - Now there are three different tracks:

125. punk, synth, and party,

126. and I'll let you guys figure out who gets what.

127. And on the runway, the category is neon realness.

128. Gentlemen, start your engines,

129. and may the best woman rock!

130. - All right, let's make a case.

131. - We want punk.

132. - Kim, Robbie, and I choose punk

133. because we don't want to give the judges

134. something they've seen before.

135. We want to really rough it up.

136. - We want party. - And we also want party.

137. We also want party.

138. - Okay, let's everyone in their group

139. individually say what you want.

140. - I definitely, definitely want party.

141. - Party. - Party.

142. Party. And what do you guys want in your group.

143. - Party. - I want party.

144. - Synth.

145. 'Cause it has soul, it has rhythm.

146. - See, and I felt like that about this.

147. - Now I will say this group is unanimous on party,

148. and you guys are not unanimous on party.

149. - Oops!

150. - There's, like, this turmoil between

151. Chi Chi and his group,

152. so we kind of, like, pit them against each other.

153. - I just don't want you guys to fight.

154. I don't want Chi Chi to be upset.

155. - I genuinely don't think that your group

156. will be as strong with this

157. 'cause you were like, "I want synth."

158. You got to turn 'em against themselves.

159. Just get some water.

160. So what are you guys thinking?

161. - We're gonna go with synth, and you guys go with party.

162. - All right. Thank you so much.

163. - Derrick and I, being team players,

164. decide we're gonna go with synth.

165. Let's make it work.

166. - Girl, we are art.

167. - That's fine. You can be art.

168. - Art, art, art, art, art.

169. Art, art, shekat-kat-boom.

170. Oh, shika-kat-kat-ki-kat.

171. Art, did somebody mention art?

172. - I hope that's not their song.

173. If that's their song, that sucks.

174. - I got an idea. What we do is...

175. we incorporate shapes.

176. I'm circle, you're triangle,

177. and you're square. - That's cool.

178. - We can even be The Shapes.

179. - I think our costumes should be that shape,

180. you know what I mean?

181. Like, cardboard cut-out geometric shapes.

182. - Yeah, no.

183. - We should just be, like, this is our head,

184. this is our hands.

185. I'm not surprised Chi Chi came up with this concept.

186. This is, like, a girl that shops at Michael's

187. for every outfit that she owns.

188. - Just thought we'd come on stage dressed like

189. a square, a circle, and a triangle.

190. To me, that would be more visually appealing.

191. - No.

192. - Naysha's already gone home once.

193. Derrick just got clocked by the judges,

194. and I sure in hell

195. don't want Michelle calling me basic again.

196. We all need to step our game up.

197. - I don't want to help you guys,

198. but the genre in which you guys are doing of synth

199. was all about geometrical shapes, oddness.

200. Kaossonome was, like—he was a walking triangle.

201. - But, I mean, we can be fashionistas.

202. That's fine.

203. - If you could show me something that's not a cardboard box

204. on my body then I want to see it.

205. - I'm with Chi Chi.

206. - Acid Betty, seriously?

207. Shut the fuck up.

208. And you're the oldest one

209. in the bunch, you should know better.

210. - Thanks, Betty.

211. - Coming up...

212. - Thorgy, is that not funny? - No.

213. - Thorgy is driving me crazy.

214. Do you not see yourself all over the song?

215. - Ooh.

216. - We have to make it funny.

217. - Right, absolutely. - Yeah.

218. - This week's Maxi Challenge is to form new wave bands.

219. We have to write lyrics and perform our track live.

220. - What if we just wrote something, like,

221. just completely, like off the cuff.

222. Like, I don't know, chicken wings.

223. - Yeah, it could be our thing. - That could be cute.

224. - The other team, like, I don't—

225. Kim Chi and Robbie as punk?

226. - When I look at Kim Chi, Robbie, and Naomi,

227. I sure as hell don't see no punk.

228. - And then chicken wing.

229. Maybe our song is, like, something hot and spicy.

230. - Louisiana's finest.

231. - Barbeque.

232. - You're a punk group, and you're gonna scream

233. about chicken wings and dipping sauces?

234. - Let's go chicken wings.

235. - Nothing about this is finger-licking good.

236. That group is gonna lose.

237. Like a Stepford Wife, your fantasy.

238. - Or why don't you say, "I'm not a Stepford Wife."

239. - Oh, that's good.

240. - I'm, like, really excited about this.

241. - Well, Chi Chi will help us soul this up too.

242. - Yeah.

243. - I feel like Chi Chi doesn't really want to be in our group.

244. His energy is really off.

245. - I know y'all want to work together,

246. but I have, like, no look for neon couture,

247. so could I, like, go over and cutout something real quick?

248. - Oh, Lord.

249. - Well, that sucks.

250. Chi Chi, how did that sound?

251. Chi Chi, were you listening, or no?

252. - It was good. - Yeah, I think that's cool.

253. And if he doesn't like it, he can change it.

254. - Girl, it's a group challenge.

255. Engage...

256. because that's what you do when you're on a team.

257. - Where did Chi Chi go?

258. - So I'm working on my runway outfit

259. because these bitches have fabulous costumes,

260. and I'm gonna walk out in a neon bathing suit.

261. So if it seems like I'm a little worried, I am.

262. And that's why I'm quiet.

263. I'm distancing myself from the girls,

264. but you know what?

265. I'ma work this shit out.

266. Peace.

267. - All right, let's keep writing.

268. How about the first line is what's that smell?

269. - Hm, love it.

270. - 'Cause we're singing about street meat.

271. - You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.

272. You're right. You're right. - It's quicker.

273. - You like to explain it. - Yeah.

274. - When we go "yes," you don't have to convince us.

275. - And we just laugh because you're—you—

276. - I just— - 'Cause we go like this,

277. "Yeah," and you go, "It's so much simple, and,

278. "you know, I thought about it, and you go like this.

279. "And there's a four-count,

280. and a four-count are so much better than a three-count."

281. - Yeah. You're not the most time-efficient.

282. - I'm very detail-oriented and neurotic.

283. My process is, like, I sit there and examine

284. every little tiny thing,

285. tear it all apart, and put it back together.

286. - This is where the big black beans could come in.

287. You see what I mean? - No.

288. - Thorgy, is that not funny? Come on, that is—

289. - Uh, no, I don't think it's funny.

290. - What?

291. - What sets me off is this sound...

292. - Ugh. - Ugh.

293. - Oh, my God. You got to stop with, "Ugh."

294. - I really don't mean it that way.

295. I have an ear for music, rhythm, and, like, beats.

296. I'm a professionally trained violinist, violist,

297. and cellist, so, like, I have a very critical ear.

298. Don't argue with me.

299. I just wish you would trust me when I say, like, a suggestion.

300. - We do. - We do trust you.

301. Do you not see yourself all over the song?

302. - All right, now I know

303. that I can't even speak without being attacked.

304. - No, that's not true. Thorgy—

305. Thorgy is driving me crazy.

306. She's not contributing as much as she's negating.

307. - I'm actually holding back, like, 94%

308. of, like, what I actually want to say.

309. - Thorgy, I really love this drape-y fabric on you.

310. - Thank you so much.

311. - Oh, and then the other group's trying to sneak in

312. and break down our defenses.

313. - Is it an actual cardigan. - Just a simple scarf.

314. - Thorgy, you are so easily distracted.

315. Oh, my God.

316. And they're looking for the easiest chink in our armor,

317. and it's Thorgy.

318. - Thorgy, hi. - Hey.

319. They keep changing my lyrics.

320. My lyrics are so good, and they're like,

321. "Let's change it to this," which is, like, idiotic—

322. - Thorgy, stop talking to them!

323. Jesus.

324. I'm just over it. Whose team are you on?

325. Like, are you working with the chicken wings

326. or whatever their fucking names are?

327. - You guys are so fun.

328. Like, that's hilarious.

329. Team New York is in a small, little boat,

330. and it's got a hole, and it's sinking.

331. - I really think you're trying to, like,

332. destroy the process almost. - I'm really not.

333. - Now you're being dramatic, Bob.

334. - Yes! Thank you! He's being so dramatic!

335. - I didn't know I was with two coo-coo birds.

336. - Those bitches are going down.

337. - Coming up...

338. - Right now it's just reading as, like, cheesy.

339. - I just don't know what you're saying.

340. - You don't understand what I'm saying?

341. - No.

342. I think I may have just, like, cost us this challenge.

343. - Hi. - Hi, ladies.

344. - Ru hooked us up with a Lucian rehearsal

345. for this challenge, and my team is up first.

346. - Let's go ahead and see what you've put together so far.

347. - There's a lot of pressure on me for this challenge

348. because the judges weren't crazy about my performance last week,

349. and I feel like this character is gonna show them

350. that I do have soul.

351. - Here we go. Cue music.

352. - Whoa.

353. Derrick.

354. Just stop.

355. - That—that's good,

356. but I feel like it might be fun for you guys

357. to maybe talk-sing some of it

358. because you're not, like, incredible vocalists.

359. Um, okay, let's try that. Cue track.

360. - Stop. Stop for a second.

361. You're still singing. - Oh.

362. - And we were just talking about

363. talking instead. - Okay. Talk.

364. - Yeah, more like a rap.

365. Derrick, you—you— - I would rather sing.

366. I want to be a pop star of drag,

367. and I feel like now that I'm given the singing challenge,

368. this is my time to put everything out there.

369. - Okay, so, let's try it once more time.

370. - Rectangle girls of the world.

371. - Yeah. You're getting what I'm saying.

372. - Kind of catching on. - That's awesome.

373. It's my advice that you two listen to Chi Chi.

374. She really gets what I'm saying in terms of the arrangement.

375. I really appreciate that you,

376. like, already in one take

377. did kind of what I was saying,

378. so... it's really cool.

379. - Ugh.

380. Hey, bone collectors,

381. we're Les Chicken Wings,

382. and we've got a bone to pick with you.

383. - All right, the biggest thing

384. is to figure out that punk attitude.

385. - Yeah. - So when you perform this,

386. it's gonna have to be times ten

387. of what you're doing right now. - Right.

388. - So I want to hear a little anger.

389. I'm gonna have each of you give me,

390. like, a loud, primal scream.

391. - Oh, boy. - Naomi, you first.

392. - Okay.

393. - You're smiling. You're so happy.

394. Come on, anger. Kim Chi?

395. - Robbie?

396. - Somebody just snatched your wig,

397. tripped you,

398. and stole all your heels.

399. It still feels like you're scared to,

400. like, let it out.

401. - So we're trying to be punk and angst-y,

402. but it was not working,

403. and I'm feeling the pressure.

404. I have been on the bottom of the game,

405. so I need this win more than anybody else

406. in this competition.

407. - Hello. - How are you?

408. - How are you feeling song-wise, lyrics and everything?

409. - I love it, anyway.

410. - It's good. It's good. - What's wrong?

411. - We love it.

412. - So wait, you're not all on the same page with it?

413. - We are on the same page. - We are. We are.

414. We are. We are. We are. - Thorgy just talks like that.

415. - We are, but she's, like... - That's how she talks.

416. - Literally nit-picking. - But we have a final product

417. that we're all happy with. - We're good.

418. - Churl, I'm just over it.

419. I can't argue with Thorgy anymore.

420. - I'm really—I'm happy.

421. - All right. Here we go.

422. Cue track.

423. - Ow!

424. - The only thing I would say

425. is that it was very character-y

426. and almost theatrical

427. instead of cool, '80s, new wave vibe.

428. - Whoo!

429. - All right, all right. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

430. So this is what I'm talking about.

431. You're saying it exactly the way you'd say it in a musical.

432. What's that smell?

433. That sort of doesn't have the cool, B-52s' vibe.

434. Right now it's just reading as,

435. like, cheesy, and you're just like, "Ehh."

436. - I think the B-52s are kind of cheesy.

437. - The B-52s are just one example of a party band.

438. I'm just trying to direct you to be more cool

439. because that's what this era was about.

440. - That's how they sound to me.

441. What do you mean by "more cool"?

442. I don't get that feel from our track.

443. Am I alone in this? Really? No one?

444. - Girl, you got to listen.

445. Open the ears, close the mouth.

446. He's telling us to lay back, stop be so,

447. "Hey, girl, yeah, whoo, yeah!"

448. - I just don't know what you're saying, Lucian, baby.

449. I just don't.

450. - You don't understand what I'm saying?

451. - No.

452. - It's just about creating your own style.

453. Like, even someone like Lorde.

454. - I hate her.

455. I can't with her. - Okay. Well—

456. I'm just telling you, she has her style.

457. - When you think of Lorde, I think of, like,

458. apathetic teenager.

459. Av—Ooh.

460. - I'm just trying to help you. - I guess so I'll be Lorde.

461. - It's very surprising

462. that any queen would come for me

463. because I'm gonna be judging these bitches.

464. I'm not saying to be Lorde.

465. I'm not saying to be the B-52s,

466. but it can be some other sort of melody

467. that is your thing. - It's like,

468. "You're not the B-52s, but how would B-52s say it?"

469. Is what it sounds like to me.

470. - Oh, my God.

471. You are embarrassing us in front of a judge.

472. If we're in the bottom, Bob is going home, not me.

473. - I know I shouldn't be arguing with Lucian.

474. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm already in argument-mode

475. because Thorgy has got me at the very edge of the cliff.

476. Lucian's just an innocent bystander.

477. I think I may have just, like, cost us this challenge.

478. - Drag is not a cheap profession.

479. - It's really not.

480. - I know. You got to do what you got to do to live.

481. - Do you have enough to, like, live off of?

482. - We were always fortunate kids,

483. but we didn't have a lot of money growing up.

484. So when I got out of high school,

485. I started getting all these loans

486. and just started

487. trying to find money. - Yeah.

488. - And now I'm going through a bankruptcy.

489. - Wow. How much is your debt?

490. - It's, like, in the tens of thousands.

491. I work two jobs washing cars

492. and checking out people's groceries.

493. Being broke is a hurting feeling.

494. People say they don't have a dime to their name,

495. but when you literally don't have a dime,

496. you taking all your shit to the Coinstar

497. to, like— just to get $5.00,

498. like, I don't think these girls understand that.

499. Not having the money to buy fabric

500. and all that kind of stuff, I just use what I got,

501. and that's where I find myself saying, "Oh, I'm here

502. for the $100,000," you know what I mean?

503. - Yeah.

504. - When I want to be here for the experience,

505. but in the back of my mind,

506. I just feel like I need money,

507. and it's not all about money all the time.

508. That's exactly why the stakes

509. in this competition is so high to me.

510. It's not an option for me to fail.

511. - I'm gonna put my hair up and do my makeup,

512. like, immediately. - Yeah, I am too.

513. - I'm always, like, the last person

514. running around with my head cut off.

515. - And yet you still win.

516. Every time. - I've never won.

517. - Frida Kahlo got a special mention.

518. - Yeah, a special mention... - That was winning.

519. - That I was good at the dance challenge

520. but didn't win, but I was top,

521. and then we did the acting challenge,

522. and I was, like—they were like, "You were really good,

523. but—" - Yup.

524. - I feel like I'm the Susan Lucci.

525. Come on. Susan?

526. - I'm the Susan Lucci of the season.

527. I nailed the "Empire" acting Challenge,

528. and I was safe.

529. Bob wore literally a $20 Halloween costume

530. that was falling apart, and she won.

531. And, like, Bob is funny, but so am I.

532. I'm just not as loud and annoying.

533. They were like, "You were so wonderful.

534. You floored us. We couldn't stop watching you.

535. Bob, you win."

536. - It seems like Bob and Thorgy

537. are in a competition of their own,

538. and somebody's feelings

539. are inevitably going to get hurt.

614. Robbie Turnt-her, condragulations,

615. you are the winner of this week's challenge.

616. - Yes.

617. - You'll receive a wig wardrobe from Weaven Steven.

618. - This is, like, so huge to me

619. that you're in the room, Ms. Debbie Harry.

620. Like, I have a poster that was above my bed,

621. and my parents really thought I was straight for a minute.

622. - You mean I was a beard?

623. A- The three of you may leave the stage.

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

625. First up, Bob The Drag Queen.

626. - Hi, Bob. - Hi, Lucian.

627. Can I just say before we get started,

628. yesterday, I wasn't the kindest to you,

629. and that's not me,

630. and I apologize. - What was going on?

631. - I wasn't really understanding the references he was giving me.

632. Then I was like, "Well, I don't even like that artist."

633. - Who was the artist? - It was Lorde.

634. - Oh, well, you're in luck. She's our guest judge next week.

635. - Whoo!

636. - Well, I accept your apology,

637. and, today, I was impressed,

638. especially with the black beans line.

639. I really highlighted your character.

640. Great job.

641. - I think ratchet drag is your thing,

642. but I am in love with the way you look tonight.

643. - Thank you. - It's in the step

644. in the fashion direction. Less ratchet, more fashion.

645. - But you have to stay professional at all times,

646. no matter how pissed off you are.

647. - Next up, hey there, Thorgy girl.

648. - I'm not crazy about this look tonight.

649. This is going on. This is going on.

650. This is going on. This is—

651. There's just so much that I'm losing you.

652. - But you slayed it in the performance.

653. You kept drawing my attention.

654. - Next up, Acid Betty.

655. - This thing is mind-blowing. This is epic.

656. - I mean, did you actually make that wig yourself?

657. - I made everything you see but the shoes, yeah.

658. - Wow. Very good.

659. - Until you came out in that challenge,

660. I got more Patty Duke than I did Acid Betty.

661. I didn't get why everybody else kind of

662. went crazy new wave, and you went '50s.

663. It made me feel that you weren't in your element

664. for the first time. - Oh, okay.

665. I totally felt like I was,

666. so that's weird that you felt that way.

667. - Your makeup made me so happy.

668. I did not see a trace of she-who-shall-not-be-named.

669. - Yes.

670. - Tonight on the runway, do you look pretty?

671. Yes, but I'm still waiting for that breakthrough.

672. - I'm hearing Britney Spears a lot,

673. but I—when I saw you with the bangs

674. I thought you could do Debbie.

675. Maybe you should audition for the movie.

676. - Oh. - Wow.

677. - Call my agent.

678. - Well, you have a terrific voice.

679. - Thank you. - But you were kind of,

680. like, disappointing as a performer.

681. I don't know what's happening in your head

682. because you're not giving us 100%.

683. - All right, next up, Naysha Lopez.

684. - Hi, Ru. - Tell me about this outfit.

685. It feels like it's painted on you.

686. - Yeah. It's actually all airbrushed.

687. - And more to the point, your ass is real?

688. - Yes. It's real.

689. - You got it from your Mama. - And my daddy.

690. - Does your daddy deal in medical-grade silicone?

691. - This is fun.

692. I think this is something different for you.

693. Now the outfit in the group,

694. it was like part Dolly Parton,

695. and then the circle that wasn't really a circle.

696. - In terms of the outfit in your group,

697. were you in charge of that?

698. - It was a group challenge,

699. so we really participated

700. with everything when it—you know—

701. - Well, Chi Chi's shaking her head.

702. You're saying it was not a group effort?

703. - No, the thing Thorgy had on her head,

704. that's what I wanted to wear as the actual costume.

705. - I see.

706. - I'm not gonna be in a cardboard box.

707. Absolutely not.

708. - Is this the first you all are hearing

709. any dissention from Chi Chi?

710. - She was just disconnected. - I see.

711. - You know, like, it was, like, "Hey, Chi Chi,

712. "you want to come over here really quick?

713. You know, we're gonna look at some references,"

714. and it's like, "All right. Whatever."

715. - Well, they was—

716. - I was told to step my drag up,

717. and that's what I wanted to do.

718. - So tell me why you're out here in a bathing suit

719. with no corset and a belt.

720. - I don't have the expenses to pay for something like this.

721. I'm in a bankruptcy. I just don't have—

722. - Hold on.

723. You don't need money, girl.

724. That's never an excuse.

725. I know you can turn a show.

726. What concerns me is the attitude a little bit.

727. I'm getting the feeling that you have fought very hard

728. to be where you are.

729. I get it, but we're lifting you up.

730. Let us.

731. - I hear you.

732. I'm sorry, y'all, that, you know,

733. I just kind of halfed it, and—

734. - No, no, it's okay. It's cool, sister.

735. - I don't want y'all to feel like that, you know,

736. I tried to throw y'all under the bus or anything, but—

737. - What is this bus everybody keeps talking about?

738. Is the bus still running?

739. Thank you, ladies. While you un-tuck backstage,

740. the judges and I will deliberate.

741. All right, now just between us Sunday girls,

742. what do you think?

743. Let's start with Bob The Drag Queen.

744. - Bob was giving me a little attitude,

745. but this is a high-pressure competition.

746. - Absolutely.

747. - And I think personality things that they may not even

748. like in themselves sometimes come out.

749. - And Bob did stand out.

750. Bob has a lot of charisma

751. and seems to know who he is.

752. - Thorgy Thor.

753. - She delivered on this challenge.

754. There's just something so quirky about her.

755. - I agree. I was totally drawn to her.

756. - Michelle, you had an issue with her outfit.

757. - There was just so much going on.

758. - Did she paint sideburns on?

759. - Down her cheekbones and around her jawline,

760. down her neck, and down her arms.

761. - I think her challenge in this competition

762. is to edit it down.

763. Acid Betty.

764. - You know, I watch this show all the time,

765. and I was kind of waiting for this "Wow" moment,

766. and that was Betty's runway.

767. - But her outfit in the performance

768. just was not cohesive for me,

769. and because of it,

770. she was completely swallowed up by those other two girls.

771. - Derrick Barry.

772. - Most frustrating thing, for me,

773. is how temporary Derrick is in performing.

774. And she's so not used to performing something

775. other than Britney.

776. - But she, you know, really had an outstanding voice.

777. - But it's hard to judge her as her,

778. because Ru, think about Chad Michaels.

779. - Mm-hmm.

780. - She can do tons of other drag than Cher.

781. Derrick has to find a way to break through that mold.

782. - Naysha Lopez.

783. - I kind of lost her in the performance

784. to the other two.

785. - Now she was eliminated,

786. and we brought Naysha back.

787. - She wants to be here so bad, I can tell.

788. - Uh-huh. - She's trying so hard,

789. but I don't know if she is giving us enough.

790. - Chi Chi DeVayne.

791. - In the performance, she was the standout for me.

792. - She does have this mysterious magnetic quality.

793. - On the runway, however, there's no excuse

794. for you to come out here being that basic.

795. No.

796. - I watch this show all the time,

797. and you cannot wear the same shoes

798. for the challenge and the runway.

799. I'm sorry. - Thank you.

800. - That's amazing.

801. - Silence. I've made my decision.

802. Bring back my girls.

803. Welcome back, ladies.

804. Based on your new wave performances

805. and your main stage presentations,

806. I've made some decisions.

807. Bob The Drag Queen, you're safe.

808. - Thank you.

809. - Thorgy Thor, you're safe.

810. Thank you.

811. Acid Betty, your runway look was a bright spot,

812. but in the challenge, you were overshadowed.

813. You're safe. - Oh.

814. I'm Jewish, but I'm praying to all the gods,

815. so thank you.

816. - Mishpocheh, you may join the other girls.

817. Derrick Barry, you didn't quite ace your Dragometry test.

818. Naysha Lopez, in neon, you are radioactive,

819. but your performance was not electrifying.

820. Chi Chi DeVayne, your runway ouch-fit

821. didn't dominate.

822. Derrick Barry...

823. You're safe.

824. - Thank you. - You may join the other girls.

825. - Naysha and Chi Chi, I'm sorry, my dears,

826. but you are both up for elimination.

827. - Seriously? Again?

828. What the fuck?

829. There's just no way that I'm gonna go home again.

830. - Two queens stand before me.

831. Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare

832. a lip-synch performance of "Call Me" by Blondie.

833. Ladies, this is your last chance

834. to impress me and save yourself

835. from elimination.

836. The time has come...

837. for you to lip-sync

838. for... your... life.

839. - The only thing that keeps going in my mind

840. is, "Girl, hustle. Make it work."

841. I'm gonna lip-sync for my fucking life.

842. - Good luck,

843. and don't fuck it up.

844. - Naysha is flipping out tricks and flips

845. that I had no idea she had.

846. Chi Chi better beware.

847. - Oh, my God.

848. Chi Chi just went in for the kill...

849. - Oh! - And when I say kill,

850. I mean there was blood everywhere.

851. - Whoo! - Whoo!

852. - Yeah!

853. - Ladies, I've made my decision.

854. Chi Chi DeVayne, shantay, you stay.

855. - Thank you so much.

856. - You may join the other girls.

857. Naysha Lopez, your beauty and your bootie

858. did double-duty this season.

859. Now sashay away.

860. - Bye, Naysha.

861. - Bye.

862. I was giving it 110%,

863. and am I a little upset

864. that someone that's giving 50%

865. and not committed at all is still here?

866. Yeah, absolutely.

867. I want to tell the girls,

868. "Stop your fucking complaining.

869. "Get your shit together,

870. and don't forget, Ru has me on speed dial."

871. So you just never know.

872. - Condragulations, ladies.

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

874. how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?

875. Can I get a amen in here? Amen.

876. - All right. Now let the music play.
