RuPaul's Drag Race 9x11

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

2. You'll be giving our crew members

3. the chance to strut a mile in your shoes.

4. - Yeah, I'm having a hard time here.

5. - Nina wants to sew two whole outfits from scratch,

6. and Nina don't know how to sew.

7. - Trinity Taylor.

8. - This was probably the tightest presentation.

9. - Alexis Michelle.

10. - The outfits are kind of real basic.

11. - Nina Bo'nina Brown.

12. - Even the bunny part was just sort of half done.

13. - Shea Coulee.

14. - It felt, like, you know, there's the star sister

15. and then there's the other sister.

16. - Trinity Taylor,

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

18. - Shea Coulee, shantay you stay.

19. Nina Bo'nina Brown Andre Charles,

20. sashay away.

21. - Oh, my goodness.

22. Nina is gone.

23. She did bring a side of drag

24. that most people don't see.

25. But I'm relieved. The negative is gone.

26. It's time to move on.

27. - "Sue me.

28. Shea Coulee, hope you struggle cleaning this."

29. But for real, girl, I still believe in you, bitch,

30. and I can't wait to see what you do.

31. - Sorry. I had to grab this

32. 'cause I'm freaking cold.

33. - She might be cold, but her pussy is on fire

34. 'cause you won, bitch.

35. - Congratulations.

36. - Thank you. What did everybody feel

37. about their critique?

38. - So help me, God.

39. Michelle's opinion means so much to me.

40. I don't want her to have to tell me one more time

41. to step up my look.

42. It feels like shit.

43. This is a serious top five,

44. so I have to make sure

45. that I am bringing it hard.

46. - So, Shea,

47. not that I enjoyed you being in the bottom,

48. but how's it feel to finally lip sync?

49. - Whoo!

50. - It really fucking sucks.

51. - If she would have sent your ass home,

52. I would have been laughing all the way, bitch.

53. - Now that we're the top five,

54. no one is safe.

55. One mistake and you're home.

56. - Girl, all I gotta say is free the tuck, honey.

57. Free the tuck.

58. - Ooh!

59. - The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race

60. receives a one year supply

61. of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics

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

63. With extra special guest judges

64. super-duper model Joan Smalls

65. and Andie MacDowell.

66. - Yes, girl. Top five, top five.

67. - Top five.

68. - Bitch, it's the top five.

69. I'm ready to slay my way to the top.

70. I'm taking this competition seriously.

71. Little bugs are my phobia.

72. I don't like gnats. Gnats are the devil.

73. Is it around me?

74. Please, kill it, kill it, kill it.

75. What was the question?

76. - Hello, hello, hello.

77. - Hey! - Oh!

78. - Ladies, for today's mini challenge,

79. we're having ourselves

80. a good old fashioned bitch fest,

81. and we're doing it

82. with puppets.

83. Because why?

84. Everyone loves puppets.

85. - Exactly.

86. Pick out a puppet

87. that represents one of your competitors,

88. and drag it up.

89. First up, Shea Coulee.

90. Reach in, girl. Don't be scared.

91. You know, you'd think that hole would be worn out

92. after so many years.

93. - It's Peppermint.

94. - Next up, Sasha Velour.

95. It's Trinity.

96. - Trinity Taylor.

97. - Oh!

98. I have Shea.

99. - Peppermint.

100. - Alexis.

101. - All right, you're up, Alexis Michelle.

102. Here she comes.

103. - It's a boy. - It's a something.

104. - All right, you've got 20 minutes

105. to drag up your puppet.

106. Go!

107. - Start with the ass.

108. - I'm gonna fuck you up with this puppet, Alexis.

109. - I would never wear that color.

110. - Make sure you make it basic.

111. I feel like mine's very accurate.

112. - Bitch, that is a hot motherfucking mess.

113. - Exactly.

114. - All right, ladies. Time's up.

115. From the Today Tix Theater,

116. let the bitch fest begin.

117. - Hey, girl, you know what?

118. You've been doing really well in this competition, Pepper.

119. How does that make you feel?

120. - Aah!

121. Oh, what's going on with the bottom of the outfit?

122. Girl, you know what they say.

123. Power top, lazy bottom.

124. Ow! You do realize you got a little lace

125. right here on your wig.

126. Let me get that—

127. Oh! Damn, girl!

128. - I told y'all don't touch my wigs.

129. - Trinity, where are you?

130. - I'm right here, girl.

131. I've gotta say, I've learned a lot about drag

132. since I've been here.

133. It isn't just about silicone.

134. It's also about restylane, botox,

135. and this little thing called hot glue

136. that I'm just filling myself up with. Ha!

137. - Well, Trinity, you are often talking about sex.

138. - Oh, girl, I like fisting,

139. glory holes, horse play.

140. That's where you have sex with Nina Bo'nina Brown.

141. Couch play. That's where you have sex

142. with Nina Bo'nina's Brown's padding.

143. Jelly play.

144. That's where you have sex with me.

145. Hey!

146. - Oh, hi. How are you, Shea?

147. Well, you have won a lot of challenges this season,

148. but it sure isn't on that makeup, is it?

149. - Well, you know,

150. this is how we do it in Chicago, bitch.

151. - You know, you might want to check your kitchen, girl,

152. 'cause, you know, you already been clocked about that once.

153. - What you mean, girl?

154. I have disco butt.

155. - You don't really have that much body, do you, honey?

156. Do you need to go see my doctor?

157. - No. We do this natural in Chicago.

158. - Sasha, what is that over on your hand?

159. - The feathers are the bird that's flying out of the cage.

160. I'm being freed.

161. - What's with the crown?

162. - Well, Alexis, I really want to be

163. America's next drag superstar.

164. - Sasha, don't you think that's a little literal?

165. - It's not literal, it's felt.

166. It's meta.

167. - Wow, Sasha, that is really deep.

168. - End... scene.

169. - Uncanny.

170. - Alexis Michelle, you look so fabulous today.

171. - Oh, thank you.

172. I'm just ♪ a Broadway girl

173. - Okay, Alexis, we got it.

174. - Wait a minute. I'll be right back.

175. - Don't take too long,

176. 'cause you know it's showtime.

177. Alexis, what are you doing down there?

178. - Why you fucking look so green, girl?

179. I'm not doping, bitch.

180. You shady ladies all did real good.

181. The winner is...

182. Sasha Velour.

183. - Yeah. - Yeah.

184. - You've won a $500 gift card

185. from Today Tix,

186. the last minute theater ticket app.

187. - Trinity's ass floats to the top again.

188. - All right, ladies, it's time to celebrate

189. our queer culture like only you queens can.

190. For this week's maxi challenge,

191. we're throwing a ball.

192. But not just any old ball.

193. We're throwing the gayest ball ever!

194. - Yeah. - Ow!

195. You'll need to work three different looks,

196. each one more gay-tastic than the last.

197. First category is Rainbow-She-Betta-Do.

198. We want to see a flaming look

199. inspired by the rainbow flag.

200. Second category is Sexy Unicorn.

201. - Yes! - Ooh.

202. - Hooves and horns and queens. Oh, my!

203. Third category is

204. Village People Eleganza Extravaganza.

205. - Oh. - Shit.

206. - Each of you needs to create a look

207. inspired by the legendary group the Village People.

208. That's cowboy, cop,

209. Native American, construction worker,

210. and leather biker couture.

211. Rrr, rrr.

212. So I'm gonna head over to the YMCA

213. and let you guys

214. pick your own Village Person inspiration.

215. Start your engines,

216. and may the best woman win.

217. - We all agreed to be very diplomatic

218. with the selection of the Village People look.

219. I end up choosing the leather biker look

220. because it's all black,

221. and everybody looks good in all black.

222. - Aah!

223. Police brutality. Hits too close to home.

224. - I chose the cop look.

225. I'm trying to, like, let loose a little bit,

226. be a little bit more edgy.

227. So, Peppermint, what are you making?

228. - I'm just trying to go for

229. a very hyper-feminized version

230. of the leather daddy/mommy.

231. - Pepper, are you going for like a fetishy look?

232. - I don't really have much experience

233. with the leather community.

234. I'm more like the pleather community.

235. - Peppermint has a great personality.

236. She has a great personality.

237. But her looks, they're just not polished,

238. so that could be her downfall.

239. - Coming up...

240. What do you think is going to be your winning ticket?

241. - I can always count on my smarts.

242. - I want to do like a patchwork, big skirt—

243. - Wait. Let me put my earring on.

244. - Uh-huh.

245. - For today's maxi challenge,

246. we're getting ready for the gayest ball ever.

247. I'm gonna shit glitter.

248. - I chose the Native American.

249. I want to give something

250. that will feel a little bit tribal,

251. but also ready to wear.

252. What I need to use is an editing eye in this challenge

253. to make sure that it feels fresh.

254. This is my chance to say, like,

255. I'm not basic, I have taste.

256. - Alexis needs to push her aesthetic further.

257. She needs to modernize it.

258. I feel like I could go to New York

259. and throw a stone and hit five other queens

260. that can do exactly what she does.

261. - Hi-ee.

262. - Hi. - Hello.

263. - I'm here. I'm queer.

264. Get used to it.

265. - Hey, Sasha. - Hi, RuPaul.

266. - Now, you chose the cowboy?

267. - Yeah, the cowboy seems like a winning choice to me,

268. and this fabric is incredible.

269. But constructing is not my strongest suit,

270. so I have to be very, very clever.

271. - Yeah. What do you think is gonna be your trump card?

272. Oh, did I say fuck Trump?

273. - Not today.

274. - Not on the day.

275. - Not today.

276. - What do you think is gonna be your winning ticket?

277. - I can always count on my smarts

278. to push me over the edge.

279. - So how are you going to reinterpret

280. the rainbow flag?

281. - Well, it really is quite a challenge,

282. because I'm breaking it apart.

283. I'm deconstructing the rainbow—

284. God, that sounds overly intellectual,

285. but I promise I have an interesting trick

286. up my sleeve that I'm excited to pull out.

287. - Sasha is really, really, deep

288. and puts a lot of thought into her drag,

289. and that's both an advantage,

290. but it's also kind of a disadvantage.

291. 'Cause if nobody knows what the hell is going on,

292. what difference does it make anyway?

293. - Whoo.

294. - Alexis Michelle.

295. - Hi, RuPaul.

296. - Now, which character in the Village People are you—

297. - Wait. Let me put my earring on.

298. Maybe you'll have some sense of what I'm doing.

299. Am I the cop?

300. - I think you're the Native American.

301. - I'm the Native American.

302. - And why'd you choose that one?

303. - I saw this bowl

304. of these beautiful turquoise embellishments,

305. and they spoke to me immediately,

306. and I said, you know what?

307. Build the look around these.

308. - Uh-huh.

309. Now, last week, the judges had some critiques

310. about your aesthetic.

311. - Yes. - How'd that make you feel?

312. - You know, it hurt, actually.

313. I did sew my bodysuit and leotard.

314. They weren't Halloween costumes I bought in a store.

315. - It was just that the outfit you created

316. wasn't two steps beyond.

317. - I think I'm on the right track this time,

318. and it's time to be that Phoenix

319. and rise up out of those ashes.

320. - Good, because, you know, we're down to the wire here.

321. This is it. - This is it.

322. - I've chosen something very ambitious,

323. with the amount of stoning

324. that I intend to do to this bodice.

325. Now is the time I've really got to show

326. that I belong here visually.

327. - Hi, Shea. - Hey, Ru.

328. - I see lots of construction worker stuff here.

329. Why'd you choose the construction worker?

330. - I'm a really big fan of British fashion,

331. you know, Vivienne Westwood, Burberry.

332. and so I want to do, like, an interesting

333. kind of like patchwork big skirt

334. that has, like, a lot of, like,

335. punk unfinished edges,

336. but still really polished and fashion forward.

337. - Oh, my goodness. That's a tall order.

338. Now, Shea, last week

339. you wound up in the bottom two

340. for the first time.

341. Did that shake you up?

342. - Oh, girl, it shook me up.

343. It shook me down. It shook me all around.

344. - This challenge will determine the final four,

345. so this is big time.

346. This is no joke.

347. - Yeah, no.

348. My performance in last week's challenge

349. was just a one time deal.

350. Ain't no slip-ups from here on out.

351. - All right, ladykins, gather round.

352. Now, tomorrow, in addition to your three ball looks,

353. I want you to perform an opening number

354. that pays tribute to the gayest Olympic sport ever...

355. rhythmic gymnastics.

356. And that's how you get the gold medal

357. here at "Drag Race."

358. Now, Sasha Velour, you won the bitch fest,

359. so you're in charge of the choreography.

360. - Okay.

361. - So good luck, and don't fuck it up.

362. - Coming up...

363. - Ow!

364. - Oh, my God. Are you all right?

365. - Sasha's certainly not delivering.

366. This rehearsal feels kind of unfocused.

367. - Crack the whip.

368. - I have been trying.

369. - Wham!

370. - Whoo!

371. - Now it's time for us to rehearse

372. our rhythmic gymnastics routine.

373. - All right, ladies, let's get to work.

374. - I still don't even know what rhythmic gymnastics is,

375. but I'm gonna find out.

376. - One thing that I loved

377. that I saw the Olympians do

378. is, like, they hold out these things

379. so we can have that pull apart moment.

380. - Yes. So...

381. - One, two, three, four.

382. - Five, six, seven, eight.

383. - Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

384. - This is ridiculous.

385. - Okay, okay, let's focus, let's focus.

386. - One, two, three—

387. - No, wait, Trinity.

388. - One, two, three, four—

389. - Ow!

390. - Oh, my God. Are you all right?

391. - Oh, my God.

392. Is it red? - No, not yet.

393. - Bitches getting their ribbons tied in knots,

394. getting slapped in the face.

395. It's actually not as easy as it looks.

396. - Okay, okay, so going from the beginning,

397. I come up on three, and then all together

398. we do something on four, right?

399. - Yeah. And for the next section,

400. can we do five, six, seven, eight?

401. - No. What if the first time—okay.

402. So what if the first time we put Alexis in the middle?

403. - Sasha's certainly not delivering.

404. This rehearsal feels kind of unfocused.

405. I grew up in the theater.

406. I know what it means to stage a musical number,

407. so I have a perspective

408. that could help the team out here.

409. Can I make a suggestion, ladies?

410. What do you think about storm the judges,

411. give good face?

412. - I'd rather not let it down, actually.

413. I think it'll be sloppy picking it up.

414. I want to keep it as simple as possible.

415. - Are you guys all comfortable with, like, a battement?

416. So if we were like...

417. - Okay. - Shea and Sasha

418. think that their ideas are the best.

419. My point of view is just pushed aside

420. as second rate.

421. May I suggest that we do figure eights in place

422. for one, two, three—

423. - Well, that's gonna change how we get off.

424. - Well, maybe if we just move faster.

425. - I don't want to move any faster.

426. - I do like adding the movement.

427. - All right, you guys. We need to just decide.

428. - There's too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

429. Crack the whip.

430. - I have been trying.

431. - Sasha's too nice,

432. 'cause I would have bitched slapped somebody.

433. Wham! And then twirled my ribbon.

434. - And back to work.

435. - Motherfucker.

436. - How's everybody's look coming along?

437. - It's horrible!

438. - I am fucking terrified.

439. - Sasha's rainbow runway look,

440. it's very pedestrian.

441. - I'm doing the most time consuming part right now.

442. It's going to be, like, a patchwork on, like, flannel.

443. - So you're making a costume for Adore Delano?

444. - Ooh.

445. - I didn't know she was part of the Village People,

446. but okay.

447. - Well, no, she wasn't a part of the Village People,

448. but she was top three, unlike you.

449. - Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo.

450. - I'm just not impressed by Shea.

451. Cut-off shorts and a wife beater? Really?

452. Does it look like a construction worker?

453. Bitch, no.

454. So how do you feel about the routine, Sasha?

455. - I feel, um...

456. I feel good about it.

457. These are very fun to watch,

458. these spinning ribbons.

459. - If you're a kitty.

460. - Even if you're not.

461. - I'm glad it wasn't any longer than it was.

462. - Ru better give us sunglasses,

463. 'cause it's getting hella shady up in here.

464. - Honestly—

465. - Uh-oh. Get ready, girl.

466. - I think that the dance element

467. is not your comfort zone,

468. and I saw your insecurity around that,

469. and it came out a little bit in your behavior.

470. - I don't think

471. that I was insecure in the rehearsal at all.

472. To be honest, I was not being listened to.

473. - I don't think you stood up as a leader, though.

474. - In my opinion, she was trying to steer the ship,

475. and all of us were just, like, blah-blah-blah.

476. - I did not feel you steering the ship.

477. - It's clear that my strategy

478. did not work for you, Miss Alexis.

479. - Frankly, I also feel

480. like you sort of explicitly trust Shea

481. and Shea's vision more than other folks.

482. - Actually, no. I felt like Shea

483. was stepping on my toes a little bit.

484. - I was honesty just sharing my ideas, you know.

485. - You definitely just, like, straight up

486. talked over me a bunch of times,

487. and it was very challenging.

488. - It's going to be a tough battle

489. to get to the top four.

490. I see the claws come out.

491. Rreer! Pfft, pfft.

492. It ain't RuPaul's Best Friend Raceno more.

493. - Aah!

494. - Coming up...

495. - I'm living for this look.

496. - Chic as fuck.

497. - You are over.

498. And what?

499. - Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.

500. Trapped in the body of a straight girl,

501. it's my gay best friend Michelle Visage.

502. - Let me out. Let me out.

503. - Oh, honey, you've been out for a while.

504. A man who's no stranger to balls,

505. style superstar Carson Kressley.

506. - I love a good ball. Two's even better.

507. And super-duper model Joan Smalls.

508. Welcome to my runway.

509. - Thank you for having me. I'm super excited.

510. - You look gorgeous.

511. - Trying to keep up with you.

512. Oh, you gonna need

513. a few years for that, son.

514. That was my Lady Bunny impersonation.

515. And the beautiful Andie MacDowell.

516. You ready for some sex, lives and tucking tape?

517. - Oh, baby, am I.

518. - We're so glad you're here tonight.

519. This week, we challenged our queens

520. to turn out three gag-worthy looks

521. for the gayest ball ever.

522. But first, to get this ball rolling,

523. category is Rhythmic Gymnastics A-Go-Go.

524. - Gentlemen, start your engines

525. and may the best woman win.

526. Representing the U.S. of Gay,

527. it's the RuPaul Rhythmic Gymnastics team.

528. - Hit the showers, girls.

529. I think my girls are doping.

530. - Let's get this ball rolling.

531. Category is Rainbow-She-Betta-Do.

532. First up, Shea Coulee.

533. - Graffiti Nefertiti.

534. - I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction

535. and do a dress that is graffiti,

536. and I'm just feeling this look so much.

537. - Tag, you're it.

538. Sasha Velour.

539. Oh, gorgeous.

540. - Color blocking perfection.

541. - I'm giving a little nod to "The Wizard of Oz"

542. and the importance of Dorothy to the gay community.

543. - Oh.

544. - Honey, I am home.

545. - Careful, before someone drops a house on you.

546. - I'm filing for "section great."

547. - Alexis Michelle.

548. - Rainbow Brite.

549. - Yes.

550. - This look is literal Pride flag.

551. Bright, loud, colorful, stripey.

552. - Taste the rainbow. - Mmm.

553. - Trinity Taylor.

554. - That gives whole new meaning to strap-on.

555. - I'm giving you gay rainbow with a dash of dark lady.

556. - I wonder what's at the end of her rainbow.

557. - I just want her ass. - Uh-huh.

558. - Peppermint.

559. - Ooh, I wonder if her rug matches her drapes.

560. - My look is a classic Pride look.

561. I'm a classic beauty with a classic booty,

562. and I'm working it like there is no other.

563. - This look brought to you by Skittles.

564. - Category is Sexy Unicorn.

565. Shea Coulee.

566. She's the black horse of this competition.

567. - 50 Shades of Shea.

568. - I'm giving you dark and lovely stallion.

569. You can just call me Neigh Coulee.

570. - Spank it. - Oh.

571. Does she make you unicorn-y?

572. Sasha Velour.

573. - Oh.

574. - It's the Chronicles of Drag-nia.

575. - Lord of the Hooves. - Yes.

576. - When I think of a unicorn, I think of medieval tapestry,

577. and I'm just selling that fantasy beast.

578. - The tip of her horn is bleeding.

579. I think this is a period costume.

580. - Alexis Michelle.

581. Now, she's a real hoofer.

582. - I am a glittery, gold unicorn.

583. Look at these hooves.

584. You know what they say about big hooves, don't you?

585. - Now, that's what I call a fairytale.

586. - She's really feeling her oats.

587. - Trinity Taylor.

588. - She's got so much energy, it's like Lisa Crank.

589. - It's every little gay boy's pony fantasy:

590. bubblegum, cotton candy, My Little Pony, and I live.

591. - Yeah, shake those tail feathers.

592. Peppermint.

593. - Horn-raiser.

594. - My sexy unicorn is a space unicorn.

595. I start to realize that my garment

596. is a little baggy in some places,

597. so I have to kind of move very strategically.

598. - Unicorn? I don't remember eating unicorn.

599. - Category is Village People Eleganza Extravaganza.

600. Serving construction worker couture, Shea Coulee.

601. You better construction work.

602. - I deconstructed a whole bunch of flannel shirts

603. to make a cape.

604. I got my hair wrapped up in a turban

605. 'cause you do not want them edges to sweat out.

606. I am feeling invincible.

607. - Nailed it.

608. Serving cowboy couture, Sasha Velour.

609. - Putting the "ho" back in calico.

610. - I have this beautifully tailored red bandana outfit.

611. This, to me, is everything I love about fashion.

612. - Your country breakfast is ready.

613. Serving Native American couture, Alexis Michelle.

614. - Hey, Alexis, how's your head?

615. - I'm so thrilled with how this bodice turned out.

616. I feel current, chic

617. and I look like a million dollars.

618. - Well, somebody's gonna need an aspirin.

619. - Serving cop couture, Trinity Taylor.

620. - I like this because it goes from daytime to welding

621. in one simple tilt of the head.

622. - I'm feeling strong and sexy.

623. I'm the bad cop that's coming for all the naughty boys.

624. Spread 'em.

625. - Yeah, she is armed and fabulous.

626. Serving leather biker couture, Peppermint.

627. Her safe word is "wintergreen."

628. - I am all decked out in leather,

629. and, honey, I'm gonna make them all my slaves.

630. You better call me Master.

631. Wha-tch!

632. - I think you got a date later on, honey.

633. - Coming up...

634. Ladies, I have to ask,

635. who deserves to go home tonight and why?

636. - Welcome, ladies.

637. It's time for the judges' critiques,

638. starting with Shea Coulee.

639. - Your rainbow was not rainbow at all,

640. but it was so stunning.

641. - I just felt coming out in rainbow stripes

642. would have been predictable.

643. - Right, but there wasn't

644. one color of the rainbow in there. Not one.

645. - This particular look that you're wearing right now,

646. I think it's great.

647. I love the details.

648. But for me, the crowning glory

649. is that patchwork flannel shirt/cape combo.

650. - Gives, like, a street style model off-duty meets couture,

651. and I would totally wear that,

652. so I hope we share the same size.

653. - Can we see that jacket?

654. Can you spin around for us?

655. - Wow.

656. - Riveting. - Yes.

657. - No, that's what she was doing earlier.

658. - Thank you, Shea.

659. - Thank you.

660. - Up next, Sasha Velour.

661. - Let's start with your rhythmic gymnastics.

662. You had this psychotic Dorothy Hamill feel to you.

663. You had this plastered weird smile on your face.

664. It was really well done.

665. - I'm a little bit in love with you in general, I have to say.

666. There's something extremely modern about your style.

667. - This cowboy look, the details here are so great.

668. Super chic. - Your unicorn.

669. It was executed flawlessly.

670. - And your rainbow look, I loved when you removed the hat

671. and you gave us Little House On The Fairy.

672. That was amazing.

673. - Up next, Alexis Michelle.

674. - The gold unicorn, I really liked it.

675. There was something very childlike about it.

676. - For the rainbow, I feel it was too literal.

677. If they give you a theme,

678. you should be able to take me there, you know.

679. And I felt like it needed a little bit more of a oomph.

680. And you look incredibly beautiful,

681. but I feel if we take the bow out of your head,

682. I can get that outfit at Ricky's.

683. It's a little bit lackluster.

684. - I would love to see this taken way over the top.

685. These two, they're taking an idea

686. and giving it a real twist

687. and just going balls deep, if you will.

688. - This is the final five,

689. and there's so much more that could have been done.

690. - I nearly went blind stoning this thing.

691. - Got it.

692. Still underwhelming.

693. - Okay.

694. - Up next, Trinity Taylor.

695. - The rainbow look. Does it look good? Yeah.

696. Is it the best you could do? No.

697. This is more like bar Trinity back at home.

698. - Let's talk about this runway look tonight.

699. I think this is so chic and so glamorous,

700. and all of those little badges and pins are phenomenal.

701. The hair, the makeup, the visor, it's really cool.

702. - It's tough.

703. At the same time, it's feminine.

704. The ass looks amazing.

705. I need to take myself to the gym after this.

706. - No, just the doctor.

707. - Up next, Peppermint.

708. - Your unicorn, that was fun,

709. but there was a little bagginess going on

710. in the crotch-al area.

711. - The rainbow I really loved

712. because it was kind of French diva.

713. I had an instant flash of being in Paris,

714. and I wanted to meet you in the park at night.

715. - What did you do in France, Andie?

716. - In Paris.

717. Just call me anytime you're going to parties, okay?

718. - And then, this look, you know, the silhouette is great.

719. I love all the details.

720. - As soon as you came out the runway, like, you owned it.

721. And I felt like you were gonna beat me up,

722. but I loved it at the same time.

723. It was, like, I just loved the whole idea.

724. - Thank you.

725. - Ladies, at this crucial point in the competition,

726. I have to ask, who deserves to go home tonight and why?

727. Let's start with Shea Coulee.

728. - I would have to say Alexis Michelle.

729. - Sasha Velour.

730. - Alexis did really struggle.

731. I would have to say Alexis as well.

732. - Very interesting that they're not supportive

733. of my look right now in front of the judges,

734. considering they had nothing to say to me

735. about it in the workroom.

736. Fucking shady whores.

737. - All right. Alexis Michelle.

738. - Frankly, I'd have to say Peppermint.

739. She has a one-in-a-million personality,

740. and I think that she's able to sell looks

741. that aren't always finished.

742. - Trinity Taylor, same question.

743. - A huge pet peeve of mine

744. is not paying attention to details,

745. so I would have to say Peppermint.

746. - All right, Peppermint. Your turn.

747. - Probably because she is my biggest competition,

748. Trinity Taylor.

749. - Well, thank you, ladies.

750. I think we've heard enough.

751. While you untuck backstage,

752. the judges and I will deliberate.

753. All right. So just between us squirrel friends,

754. what do you think? Let's start with Shea Coulee.

755. - Overall, I love everything she did.

756. The unicorn was very powerful.

757. - Construction couture, amazing.

758. One of my favorites.

759. - Her rainbow look did not read rainbow to me whatsoever.

760. - I could see in the movie "Paris Is Burning,"

761. people would be on the floor shouting,

762. it is not a rainbow dress!

763. - I get what everyone is saying,

764. but the fact that she included makeup on her body,

765. it was like an artwork.

766. - Shea Coulee came here to compete,

767. and she knows how to do it.

768. Sasha Velour.

769. - I love Sasha because I think she's original.

770. - She gave us rainbow in a really different way,

771. and the unicorn look stood out from the herd.

772. I just think she's chic as fuck.

773. - Her cowboy look was absolutely beautiful,

774. but it was more fashion than it was drag.

775. - Yeah, I come to RuPaul's Drag Race

776. not just to see a look that I'm going to go to Paris

777. and I can see that down a runway.

778. Like, I just needed to be taken to that dream,

779. that fantasy land.

780. - You know, I'm torn,

781. because everything Sasha did was absolutely fantastic.

782. But is it gag-worthy for a ball?

783. We're looking for the Harlem children

784. to be saying, you are over.

785. You are over. Miss Thing, you are over.

786. Alexis Michelle.

787. - Her rhythmic gymnastics thing,

788. she just had so much enthusiasm for it

789. and she gave us like Mary Lou Retton 1986 realness.

790. - Every time she came out on the stage,

791. I was just so captivated by her beauty.

792. But everything else kind of like fell through.

793. - To me, that Native American fell completely short.

794. So many things she could have done

795. to make it so much better and so much draggier.

796. And it looked like a shake and go that she had on tonight.

797. - The look was a little bit pedestrian.

798. - Again, we have to look at this as this is the top five

799. and this is when you bring the best that you have.

800. - Yes.

801. - Trinity Taylor.

802. - The rainbow look, that was a real miss for me.

803. We need wow factor.

804. I want that look to be an event,

805. and that was like an appetizer.

806. - And the unicorn, it wasn't my favorite,

807. but I still thought it was a lot of fun.

808. - Even though her unicorn wasn't that special,

809. she sold the fuck out of that thing.

810. - Yeah, she did.

811. - Her final look, however, was so fantastic.

812. Everything about it, from the hair

813. down to the bottom just worked for me.

814. - Pep, Pep, Pep. What's up, Peppermint?

815. - I don't think she was a stand out

816. in the rhythmic gymnastics number.

817. I didn't notice if she did a great job or a bad job.

818. I just didn't notice. That's a problem.

819. - Her unicorn was definitely out of her comfort zone.

820. She had a "Hellraiser" thing going on with her head,

821. and the idea was very forward thinking.

822. - But it kind of was ruined

823. because the pieces didn't fit properly.

824. - But the last look, I felt like she owned it

825. and it was so intimidating and just empowering.

826. - And I love the way she commanded the runway with it.

827. She was connecting with all of us.

828. You could tell that she was living.

829. - Silence.

830. I've made my decision.

831. Bring back my Village People.

832. - Welcome back, ladies.

833. I've made some decisions.

834. Sasha Velour, your three fashion looks really roped us in.

835. Shea Coulee, your three ball looks gagged the judges.

836. Shea Coulee, con-drag-ulations.

837. You're the winner of this week's challenge.

838. You've won two VIP tickets

839. to Cirque Du Soleil's sexy adult cabaret Zumanity,

840. including airfare and deluxe Las Vegas accommodations.

841. - Yes!

842. Being in the top four feels so good.

843. I am feeling invincible.

844. - Sasha Velour, you're safe.

845. - Thank you.

846. - You may step to the back of the stage.

847. - Alexis Michelle, your Native American couture

848. left the judges with reservations.

849. I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.

850. - I'm pretty angry being placed in the bottom for this week.

851. Frankly, I think what I'm wearing is more fashion

852. than what Trinity and Peppermint are wearing.

853. - Trinity Taylor, your cop rocked,

854. but your other looks weren't as arresting.

855. Peppermint, your leather queen dominated,

856. but your unicorn and rainbow

857. were a little light in the loafers.

858. Peppermint, I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.

859. Trinity Taylor, you're safe.

860. You may join the other girls.

861. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

862. and save yourself from elimination.

863. The time has come...

864. to lip synch

865. for your life.

866. Good luck and don't fuck it up.

867. Listen here.

868. Hey! Hey!

869. Hey, hey, hey, hey!

870. - Whoo!

871. - Oh! Oh!

872. - Girl!

873. Hey! Hey!

874. Hey, hey, hey!

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

876. Peppermint, shantay, you stay.

877. You may join the other girls.

878. - Thank you.

879. - Alexis Michelle, to misquote Liza Minnelli,

880. if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

881. Thank you so much.

882. - Now sashay away.

883. - Thank you.

884. Dream big, my girls.

885. I'm not really surprised.

886. It just wasn't my day.

887. I know it looks like I'm super sad,

888. and the truth is I am.

889. I mean, it's hard to go home right before the end.

890. But I think what I'm really feeling

891. is this was something I wanted for so, so long

892. and I'm finally here.

893. I've learned that I have what it takes.

894. Let this statue be the first of many.

895. You like me.

896. You really like me.

897. - Well, look at you, my fab four.

898. Con-drag-ulations.

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

900. how in the hell are you going love somebody else?

901. Can I get an amen up in here?

902. - Amen! - Amen!

903. - Now let the music play.
