Copy !req

to the winner.
Copy !req
30. - Thank you, doll.
Thank you.
Copy !req
31. And congrats on you getting
better with your health.
Copy !req
32. - It was a roller coaster.
- Right.
Copy !req
33. - But, you know, I'm here.
Copy !req
34. I was diagnosed with
liver cancer stage one,
Copy !req
35. but I'm in remission
and I feel healthier as ever.
Copy !req
36. My Coo-Coo
is fantastic, girl.
Copy !req
37. I'm not gonna take
the opportunity
Copy !req
38. that RuPaul has given to me
in granted.
Copy !req
39. This Coo-Coo is ready.
Copy !req
40. This is home.
Copy !req
41. - I don't want to sound
like a hater or anything,
Copy !req
42. but, like, is this,
like, a joke
Copy !req
43. or are you
legitimately back, sis?
Copy !req
44. - Baby, I'm back.
Copy !req
45. I know
I'm Miss Congeniality,
Copy !req
46. but I'm no came here
to play games.
Copy !req
47. - I'm happy that Cynthia
is getting her second chance,
Copy !req
48. but on the other hand,
Copy !req
49. I'm like, oh,
we got this bitch
Copy !req
50. that already knows
this competition,
Copy !req
51. and that can get you
very, very far.
Copy !req
52. - I'm afraid
of what's coming next.
Copy !req
53. This just got real, honey.
Copy !req
54. - Ha-ha!
Copy !req
55. - (sighs) I'm not very happy
that Cynthia is back.
Copy !req
56. She could take us out.
Copy !req
57. - Hallelujah, my pussy
and my Coo-Coo is burning.
Copy !req
58. - I haven't yet seen this
infamous Coo-Coo of yours,
Copy !req
59. and I need to see it,
Copy !req
60. because if you're gonna say
Coo-Coo around me,
Copy !req
61. you better make sure yours
looks better than mine.
Copy !req
62. - Ooh.
Copy !req
63. - The winner
of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
Copy !req
64. receives a one-year supply
Copy !req
65. of Anastasia Beverly Hills
cosmetics
Copy !req
66. and a cash prize
of $100,000.
Copy !req
67. With extra special
guest judges the B-52s.
Copy !req
68. - I didn't know this Coo-Coo
was happening today.
Copy !req
69. (alarm)
- Ooh!
Copy !req
70. - She done
already done had herses.
Copy !req
71. - If you can't love
yourself,
Copy !req
72. let me.
Copy !req
73. I'm your biggest fan.
Copy !req
74. Your number one.
Copy !req
75. Well, technically, only one
of you can be number one,
Copy !req
76. so the rest of you
are, like, losers.
Copy !req
77. Sorry about it.
Copy !req
78. - Hello, hello, hello!
Copy !req
79. - Lisa mother fucking
Kudrow.
Copy !req
80. I am gagged.
Copy !req
81. - Lady Gaga was just here,
and now Lisa Kudrow.
Copy !req
82. I'm really digging Season 9.
Copy !req
83. - Say hi to my pal
Lisa Kudrow.
Copy !req
84. (cheers and applause)
- Hi.
Copy !req
85. - I just ran into her
on the lot,
Copy !req
86. and she wanted to come over
and say hello.
Copy !req
87. - Yeah, you guys look great.
Copy !req
88. - Oh, my God, stop.
Copy !req
89. - (laughs)
- Lisa's character Val Cherish
Copy !req
90. from the brilliant show
"The Comeback,"
Copy !req
91. is the reason
I say hello, hello, hello
Copy !req
92. every time
I walk into the workroom.
Copy !req
93. Did you know that?
- No!
Copy !req
94. - I didn't know that.
- Neither did I.
Copy !req
95. - Now, Lisa, would you mind
saying that one thing
Copy !req
96. that you say
for me, please?
Copy !req
97. - Well, I got it.
Copy !req
98. - That was good,
but can you say it happier?
Copy !req
99. - Well, I got it.
Copy !req
100. - Bigger, bigger.
Copy !req
101. - Well, I got it!
Copy !req
102. Now I look like a fool.
Copy !req
103. - (laughs)
Copy !req
104. Lisa, come back any time.
Copy !req
105. - Okay, thanks.
- Thank you, darling.
Copy !req
106. Mwah, mwah.
(cheers and applause)
Copy !req
107. - Bye!
Copy !req
108. - Ladies, I have
a little secret to tell you.
Copy !req
109. When I was a little kid,
I wanted to be a cheerleader.
Copy !req
110. I loved the short skirts,
Copy !req
111. the sassy comebacks
and the death drop splits.
Copy !req
112. So for this week's
maxi challenge,
Copy !req
113. you'll be competing
in the biggest, baddest
Copy !req
114. cheer battle in herstory.
Copy !req
115. First, you need to divide
into two squads.
Copy !req
116. Nina Bo'nina Brown, you won
last week's challenge,
Copy !req
117. and Cynthia Lee Fontaine,
you're back,
Copy !req
118. so I'm making you two
head cheerleaders.
Copy !req
119. Pick your squads. Nina.
Copy !req
120. - Shea Coulee.
Copy !req
121. - Ha! Aah!
Copy !req
122. - Ooh, you playing
the race card?
Copy !req
123. Cynthia.
- Kimora.
Copy !req
124. - Oh.
Copy !req
125. - My team is going to be
the Coo-Coo team.
Copy !req
126. - Alexis.
Copy !req
127. - Eureka!
Copy !req
128. - Oh, come on.
Copy !req
129. - Aja.
Copy !req
130. - Farrah Moan.
Copy !req
131. - Oh, team Coo-Coo,
team Coo-Coo, go!
Copy !req
132. - I choose Sasha.
- Yes!
Copy !req
133. - Peppermint.
Copy !req
134. - Because I have a heart for
the underdog, I choose Jaymes.
Copy !req
135. - Aw.
- Aw.
Copy !req
136. - She was just doing
community service.
Copy !req
137. - Oh!
Copy !req
138. - I'm feeling
a little self conscious
Copy !req
139. about being labeled
an underdog,
Copy !req
140. because I consider myself
very much a competitor.
Copy !req
141. - All right.
Welcome, Trinity.
Copy !req
142. Yes!
Copy !req
143. - I choose Charlie.
Copy !req
144. - Which means Valentina,
you're on Coo-Coo's team.
Copy !req
145. - I feel like Valentina
was picked last
Copy !req
146. because
she's already mentioned
Copy !req
147. she's only been doing drag
for 10 months.
Copy !req
148. So I think we're all like,
well, what can she bring?
Copy !req
149. - It doesn't feel good
to be chosen last,
Copy !req
150. but little
do these queens know
Copy !req
151. that in their team
they got the superstar.
Copy !req
152. - Team Nina Bo'nina Brown,
Copy !req
153. you'll be cheering
for the home team,
Copy !req
154. RuPaul's Glamazons.
Copy !req
155. - Yes, honey.
- Yes.
Copy !req
156. - And Team Coo-Coo,
you'll be cheering
Copy !req
157. for our extra special
guest judges, the B-52s.
Copy !req
158. - Yes!
(applause)
Copy !req
159. - Kate, Fred and Cindy
gave me a big break
Copy !req
160. when they cast me in their music
video for "Love Shack."
Copy !req
161. - Ooh!
- Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
162. - All right, gentlemen,
start your engines.
Copy !req
163. And may the best woman win.
Copy !req
164. - So anybody
have any insight so far?
Copy !req
165. - There's literally
like an adjective
Copy !req
166. for every single queen.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
167. - So I think
we should go through that
Copy !req
168. and assess, like, who matches
the description the most.
Copy !req
169. - Doll, I want to be sassy.
Copy !req
170. - Okay.
Copy !req
171. - Can I be flirty?
- You can have that.
Copy !req
172. - I think that now
would be a great time
Copy !req
173. for Jaymes to—
if you want to, like—
Copy !req
174. - Yes, to really
show himself.
Copy !req
175. - If you do snoozy in funny way,
it would be funny.
Copy !req
176. - I think floozy
is more my role
Copy !req
177. 'cause it's all about
high energy
Copy !req
178. and all about
being over the top.
Copy !req
179. - Impact, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
180. - I want floozy.
- Ooh.
Copy !req
181. - Take snoozy, girl.
Copy !req
182. It'll be hilarious.
Copy !req
183. It'll be great.
Copy !req
184. I'm not snoozy.
Copy !req
185. I'm just—it's not me.
Copy !req
186. - Honestly, Alexis,
I feel like
Copy !req
187. even though, like,
snoozy may be a challenge,
Copy !req
188. I think it's a challenge that
you can definitely rise to.
Copy !req
189. - The other girls assure me
Copy !req
190. and encourage me that
I can make snoozy work.
Copy !req
191. You're right, girl.
I can do any of these.
Copy !req
192. - And these are characters.
Copy !req
193. - And you're sure you're
comfortable with that?
Copy !req
194. - I'll do whatever, yeah.
Copy !req
195. And they're right.
I'm an actress.
Copy !req
196. - Should we, like, stand up and
do it, just so we have like—
Copy !req
197. - Yeah, do you want
to get it off the—
Copy !req
198. - Ru call.
Copy !req
199. - I'm Charlie, I'm boozy.
Copy !req
200. - I'm Alexis, I'm snoozy.
Copy !req
201. - Jaymes, I'm Jews—ugh.
Copy !req
202. - I'm Aja, I'm sassy.
Copy !req
203. - I'm Nina, I'm assy.
Copy !req
204. - I'm Jaymes and I'm—oh.
Copy !req
205. I'm Jaymes and I'm a floozy.
Copy !req
206. - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
207. I don't think your part
comes in that late.
Copy !req
208. - You got to jump right in.
- Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
209. - It's got a slow beat
to it.
Copy !req
210. - No, but you have to do
the first beat.
Copy !req
211. - You start in time
and then you stretch the floozy.
Copy !req
212. - I'm Charlie, I'm boozy.
Copy !req
213. - I'm Alexis, I'm snoozy.
Copy !req
214. - And I'm Jaymes
and I'm a floozy.
Copy !req
215. - Captain, may I speak out
of turn for a little bit?
Copy !req
216. - Of course.
Go ahead.
Copy !req
217. - Girl,
you gotta sell floozy.
Copy !req
218. If you wanted to be the floozy,
you gotta be the floozy.
Copy !req
219. - All right.
- I'm not seeing it yet, okay?
Copy !req
220. I'm not—
I want to encourage you.
Copy !req
221. I'm just saying, do it.
Do it, girl.
Copy !req
222. Come forward.
Copy !req
223. - Jaymes doesn't seem
to be here mentally,
Copy !req
224. and this is not the time
Copy !req
225. to be figuring out how to
get your mind in the game.
Copy !req
226. It already has to be there.
Copy !req
227. - It's gonna be a long day.
Copy !req
228. - Coming up...
Copy !req
229. - Whoo!
- Aah!
Copy !req
230. - Oh, my God!
Copy !req
231. I cannot believe what
they are asking us to do.
Copy !req
232. - There's gonna be a severe
injury on this episode.
Copy !req
233. - All right, guys.
Copy !req
234. Five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
235. Let's go!
Copy !req
236. - Today's maxi challenge
is a straight up
Copy !req
237. "Bring It On" style
cheer battle, bitch.
Copy !req
238. - Why don't we do it
one more time.
Copy !req
239. I'm gonna sing it with you
so we can get it in time.
Copy !req
240. Let's do it again.
Copy !req
241. - This is gonna sound crazy,
Copy !req
242. but what if we go back
to your idea you had before?
Copy !req
243. - Of what?
- Oh, you want to switch?
Copy !req
244. - Where I do more of the
character and you do flirty.
Copy !req
245. - Do you want to try that?
Okay.
Copy !req
246. - Yeah.
- Okay.
Copy !req
247. - 'Cause that way, if I'm
coming right behind somebody,
Copy !req
248. it's easier for me
to keep time.
Copy !req
249. - And that's a good idea.
Okay.
Copy !req
250. So I'm gonna—
we're gonna switch now.
Copy !req
251. - We'll switch it out.
Copy !req
252. - The decision to have Alexis
and Jaymes switch characters
Copy !req
253. is the right decision.
Copy !req
254. We're all thinking it.
Copy !req
255. It's gonna be better
for everyone concerned.
Copy !req
256. - I'm Charlie, I'm boozy.
Copy !req
257. - Jaymes, I'm floozy.
Copy !req
258. - We are actually rooting
for Jaymes
Copy !req
259. and want him to shine,
Copy !req
260. but he's gonna have
to believe in himself
Copy !req
261. to really sell
this challenge.
Copy !req
262. - One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
263. - It's time for rehearsal.
Copy !req
264. - One, two, three.
Copy !req
265. - Ay dios mio!
Copy !req
266. My Coo-Coo is just shaking
right now.
Copy !req
267. - All right, guys.
I'm Dom.
Copy !req
268. I'm a two-time
world cheerleading champion,
Copy !req
269. and I'm here to teach you guys
a competitive cheer routine.
Copy !req
270. - All right.
Copy !req
271. - It's gonna consist
of some tumbling,
Copy !req
272. some jumping, some stunts.
Copy !req
273. We're gonna
have to work together,
Copy !req
274. but you're also gonna have
to learn how to stand out
Copy !req
275. at the same time.
Copy !req
276. We're gonna start it
with stunting.
Copy !req
277. - I am so pissed.
Copy !req
278. I don't know who even
does cartwheels anymore.
Copy !req
279. It's not even the eighties.
Copy !req
280. - So what you're going to do
is dip down on one,
Copy !req
281. stand up,
lock out your legs,
Copy !req
282. squeeze your tush and hold.
Copy !req
283. - Oh, my gosh.
Copy !req
284. - Five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
285. One and three, dip one,
straight leg.
Copy !req
286. - Ooh!
- Wow!
Copy !req
287. - Oh, my God!
Copy !req
288. I cannot believe what
they are asking us to do.
Copy !req
289. - Dip one, then three.
Copy !req
290. - Oh!
Copy !req
291. - Okay, make sure
when you go back down,
Copy !req
292. you reach
for their shoulders.
Copy !req
293. - There's gonna be a severe
injury on this episode.
Copy !req
294. - Valentina, ready?
Copy !req
295. Dip one, up, three.
Copy !req
296. - I was literally shaking,
Copy !req
297. but I said to myself, Valentina,
when in doubt, smile.
Copy !req
298. - One, two, down three.
Copy !req
299. Okay. Can we switch out
the fliers now?
Copy !req
300. Ready.
And five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
301. Dip one, straight legs.
Copy !req
302. - Oh!
Copy !req
303. Bitch,
I'm scared of heights.
Copy !req
304. Oh, my God!
This is scary as fuck!
Copy !req
305. If I fall, it's gonna
fuck up my face.
Copy !req
306. - Then, three.
- Oh!
Copy !req
307. - My face
is definitely expensive
Copy !req
308. and I don't want
to mess that up.
Copy !req
309. No, ma'am.
Oh, that's not for me.
Copy !req
310. - We are feeling the pressure
and the burn.
Copy !req
311. Although the burn
might be something else.
Copy !req
312. - Oh.
Copy !req
313. - All right.
Copy !req
314. - Yes.
Copy !req
315. - We're back in the workroom
Copy !req
316. and we're all frantically
doing our part
Copy !req
317. to get our looks ready
for our cheer competition.
Copy !req
318. We have our work
cut out for us.
Copy !req
319. - We all have to look
amazing.
Copy !req
320. - I don't have bloomers.
Copy !req
321. - I'm gonna wear tights.
Copy !req
322. - Yeah, but you still
have to have panties on.
Copy !req
323. - No, I'm not wearing
anything underneath.
Copy !req
324. - What?
Copy !req
325. - So if you go like this,
Copy !req
326. it just looks like
Barbie crotch?
Copy !req
327. - Why am I being attacked
of being a woman?
Copy !req
328. - Women wear bloomers underneath
their cheerleading clothes.
Copy !req
329. - Not the slutty ones.
Copy !req
330. (all laugh)
Fine, I'll wear panties.
Copy !req
331. - (laughs)
Copy !req
332. - RuPaul Glamazons, we're gonna
teach you how to stunt
Copy !req
333. so we can do some pyramids.
Copy !req
334. Ready, and five, six,
seven, eight.
Copy !req
335. Dip one, two and three.
Copy !req
336. - Should the inside of the palms
be together?
Copy !req
337. - As close as you can.
- Okay.
Copy !req
338. - Don't think about looking
straight forward.
Copy !req
339. Turn your head to the side.
You're gonna get a face full.
Copy !req
340. - That's not a problem.
(all laugh)
Copy !req
341. - You think you got it?
Copy !req
342. - (sighs)
Copy !req
343. I'm thinking to myself,
it's probably not the sport
Copy !req
344. for people
with an AARP membership.
Copy !req
345. - And dip one in three.
Copy !req
346. Good. Straight arms.
Copy !req
347. Try and lift those knees
up to your chest.
Copy !req
348. And five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
349. Dip one, two, three.
Copy !req
350. How are we feeling?
Copy !req
351. - Fabulous.
(all laugh)
Copy !req
352. We're gonna need
stunt doubles.
Copy !req
353. - You guys, I can't even believe
I'm still stoning this.
Copy !req
354. Like, this is
hard labor work.
Copy !req
355. This is why
I pay people to do this.
Copy !req
356. - Stoning really does
feed my soul.
Copy !req
357. - It does me, too.
Copy !req
358. I love to put sparkle
on everything.
Copy !req
359. - I think
when you stone anything,
Copy !req
360. it's just an excuse
to look great
Copy !req
361. without really
even being great.
Copy !req
362. Stoning is for ugly girls.
Copy !req
363. Don't get me wrong,
but I think all of us,
Copy !req
364. we kind of grew up
differently, you know.
Copy !req
365. Like, some of us love to,
like, create things.
Copy !req
366. - Well, some of us
don't love it.
Copy !req
367. Some of us have to do this
to survive.
Copy !req
368. Sewing all day
makes my back hurt,
Copy !req
369. and I eventually get
so creatively exhausted
Copy !req
370. that I just despise
looking at my crafting room.
Copy !req
371. But I know that
if I don't go in there,
Copy !req
372. I'm not gonna be able to go to
the buffet that I want to later.
Copy !req
373. - Sister, I'll take you
to the buffet with me.
Copy !req
374. - Well, bitch,
you take me to a buffet
Copy !req
375. and I'll sew you something.
Copy !req
376. - So can you finish this
for me then?
Copy !req
377. - Kimora is gorgeous,
but that attitude...
Copy !req
378. - I'm getting tired,
I'm getting thirsty
Copy !req
379. and I'm getting, like,
anxiety right now.
Copy !req
380. - Not cute, girl.
Copy !req
381. - Oh!
Copy !req
382. - Coming up...
- Wait!
Copy !req
383. - Uh, this is my
virgin de Guadalupe.
Copy !req
384. I've really been praying to her
every single night.
Copy !req
385. - You crazy, bitch.
Copy !req
386. - Yay!
- Yeah.
Copy !req
387. - Day two, whores.
Copy !req
388. - Glamazons are gonna kick
the B-52s asses.
Copy !req
389. - So today is the day
Copy !req
390. we're about to perform
Copy !req
391. this mother fucking
cheer challenge.
Copy !req
392. - Wait! Girl!
Copy !req
393. Do you really?
Copy !req
394. - Oh, this is my
virgin de Guadalupe.
Copy !req
395. I wish I could turn her on,
Copy !req
396. but I really been praying to her
every single night
Copy !req
397. just to watch over me
Copy !req
398. and guide me
through this process.
Copy !req
399. - Who, Madonna?
Copy !req
400. - No,
la virgin de Guadalupe.
Copy !req
401. - You crazy, bitch.
Copy !req
402. That's some crazy shit.
Copy !req
403. - Everybody
gets to have a drag mom,
Copy !req
404. but I feel like
la virgin de Guadalupe
Copy !req
405. is my drag mom.
Copy !req
406. She helped get me here.
Copy !req
407. She's gonna
help me win, too.
Copy !req
408. Please help me win
this challenge.
Copy !req
409. I need to win.
Copy !req
410. Love you, thank you.
Copy !req
411. - Did you do
high school sports?
Copy !req
412. - I played tennis and then
I did swimming and diving.
Copy !req
413. And I think the diving
Copy !req
414. kind of helped me out
with this a little bit.
Copy !req
415. - Yeah. Girl, I did
high school cheerleading.
Copy !req
416. - Yes.
- We never did no—
Copy !req
417. Girl, it was
a black high school.
Copy !req
418. We, like, you know...
Copy !req
419. - Right. (laughs)
Copy !req
420. - I'll never forget
I was in the gym
Copy !req
421. with all the cheerleaders.
Copy !req
422. Some of the girls were like,
oh, what do you think
Copy !req
423. about that basketball player
over there?
Copy !req
424. He was so fine.
Copy !req
425. - Boing.
Copy !req
426. - Like, gorgeous
cocoa skin.
Copy !req
427. And I was like,
oh, he's cute, he's cute.
Copy !req
428. And later on, at lunch,
Copy !req
429. I see the entire basketball team
looking at me
Copy !req
430. like I'm about to get it.
Copy !req
431. So I get up and I'm like,
let me get out of here early.
Copy !req
432. I'm by myself
in the stairwell,
Copy !req
433. and the entire basketball team
comes up the steps,
Copy !req
434. and one of the boys
beats the hell out of me.
Copy !req
435. - (gasps)
- No, Pep.
Copy !req
436. - It's true.
Copy !req
437. But afterwards, I was
talking to the secretary,
Copy !req
438. told her what happened.
Copy !req
439. And you know how
the high school offices
Copy !req
440. have, like,
all glass windows.
Copy !req
441. - Uh-huh.
Copy !req
442. - So I turned around,
and I swear,
Copy !req
443. the entire school
was just there.
Copy !req
444. It felt like
a circle of love.
Copy !req
445. Like, people were crying,
my friends were out there.
Copy !req
446. So I felt pretty good,
you know.
Copy !req
447. And he got expelled.
- Right on.
Copy !req
448. - I stayed captain
of the cheerleading squad.
Copy !req
449. - Come on.
Copy !req
450. - When I was in high school,
Copy !req
451. I was singled out
for being different.
Copy !req
452. After that incident,
Copy !req
453. I had strangers
reaching out to me,
Copy !req
454. and I knew right away
Copy !req
455. that I was loved,
and that felt great.
Copy !req
456. - Cynthia, your story
really touched me
Copy !req
457. because I have a lot
of people in my family
Copy !req
458. who have had cancer,
and, like, and who have—
Copy !req
459. who have passed
because of that.
Copy !req
460. - Oh, my God.
- I just wanted to make sure
Copy !req
461. that you're okay, because
I know your struggle
Copy !req
462. which was hard, and it really
touched my heart.
Copy !req
463. - Thank you.
Girl, whoo!
Copy !req
464. It's a challenge.
Copy !req
465. Everything was a real mess.
Copy !req
466. I get my results and it
was liver cancer stage one.
Copy !req
467. So I was like, what?
Copy !req
468. You know, I mean, I just...
Copy !req
469. I was living my dream,
Copy !req
470. and now I need to face,
like, liver cancer.
Copy !req
471. I was sad.
Copy !req
472. I was really sad.
Copy !req
473. It's hard when you know
that you have a disease
Copy !req
474. and maybe probably
could be, you know,
Copy !req
475. the last days of your life.
Copy !req
476. I mean,
the immune system goes down.
Copy !req
477. So even a cold,
Copy !req
478. it can possibly, like,
kill you, so, I mean—
Copy !req
479. - It's unreal to think
that you could die.
Copy !req
480. - At any moment.
- Any moment.
Copy !req
481. - But let me tell you.
I'm in remission.
Copy !req
482. - Cynthia is living proof
that cancer is not the end.
Copy !req
483. - Whoo! Group hug.
We need a group hug.
Copy !req
484. - If anything,
she's stronger competing now.
Copy !req
485. It has given her a drive
to really succeed,
Copy !req
486. and she's doing it
with beauty
Copy !req
487. and with a sense of humor,
Copy !req
488. and that's a drag we need.
Copy !req
489. And what?
Copy !req
490. - Welcome to the main stage
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
491. My head cheerleader,
Michelle Visage.
Copy !req
492. How's your head?
Copy !req
493. - Haven't had
any complaints.
Copy !req
494. - (laughs)
Copy !req
495. And everybody's grooving because
it's the B-52s.
Copy !req
496. Hey, is your tin roof
still rusted?
Copy !req
497. - Ooh, yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
498. - Yeah, baby.
Copy !req
499. - This week,
our queens are competing
Copy !req
500. in the biggest, baddest
cheer battle ever.
Copy !req
501. Let's check in with
our very own Ross Mathews.
Copy !req
502. - Yes, Ru,
this is so exciting!
Copy !req
503. It smells like
queen spirit.
Copy !req
504. I'm actually
literally gagging.
Copy !req
505. Back to you.
Copy !req
506. - Thanks, Ross.
We'll be watching.
Copy !req
507. Gentlemen,
start your engines,
Copy !req
508. and may the best woman win.
Copy !req
509. Coming up...
Copy !req
510. - Whoo!
- Ow!
Copy !req
511. - It's the "RuPaul's
Drag Race"
Copy !req
512. Cheer Battle Extravaganza!
Copy !req
513. RuPaul's Glamazons
versus the B-52 Bombers.
Copy !req
514. - Ru call.
Copy !req
515. - I'm Aja, I'm sassy.
Copy !req
516. - I'm Nina, I'm assy.
Copy !req
517. - I'm Shea, I'm flirty.
Copy !req
518. - I'm Sasha, I'm dirty.
Copy !req
519. - I'm Charlie, I'm boozy.
Copy !req
520. - I'm Jaymes, I'm snoozy.
Copy !req
521. - I'm Alexis
and I'm a floozy.
Copy !req
522. We are RuPaul's
Glamazons.
Copy !req
523. Got our tucking panties on.
Copy !req
524. Our beat is unstoppable.
Copy !req
525. Our wigs are unclockable.
Copy !req
526. All right, work it,
work it, all right.
Copy !req
527. - B-52 Bombers, let's go!
Copy !req
528. - I'm Coo-Coo, I'm naughty.
Copy !req
529. - I'm Kimora, I'm slutty.
Copy !req
530. - I'm Eureka, I'm wacky.
Copy !req
531. - I'm Trinity, I'm tacky.
Copy !req
532. - I'm Farrah, I'm thorny.
Copy !req
533. - I'm Peppermint,
I'm corny.
Copy !req
534. - I'm Valentina,
I'm also corny.
Copy !req
535. Our lobsters
are rocking.
Copy !req
536. Our love is in the shack.
Copy !req
537. We're roaming
'cause we wanna,
Copy !req
538. so haters step back.
Copy !req
539. B-50-who?
Copy !req
540. Not as cool as Ru.
Copy !req
541. RuPaul is more fierce
than Kate could ever be.
Copy !req
542. More woman than Fred
and more man than Cindy.
Copy !req
543. RuPaul is shameless,
selling candy bars and more.
Copy !req
544. - Ugh!
She even had a perfume
Copy !req
545. and it was called Whore.
Copy !req
546. Your beehive's busted.
Copy !req
547. Your songs are too slow.
Copy !req
548. You should go retire
in a private Ida-ho.
Copy !req
549. - And it's time
for the tumbling package.
Copy !req
550. - Yeah, big girl.
Come on, bitch, yes.
Copy !req
551. Holy fuck.
Copy !req
552. I land
and I feel my knee pop.
Copy !req
553. But I knew there was no way
I was stopping.
Copy !req
554. Bitch, I'm on a roll.
Copy !req
555. - Whoo!
- Aah!
Copy !req
556. - Now, that was impressive.
Copy !req
557. - Valentina surprised me.
Copy !req
558. I feel a little bit like,
oh, my God.
Copy !req
559. I choose her last,
Copy !req
560. but she came to slay.
Copy !req
561. - Ms. Jaymes? Girl.
Copy !req
562. - Whoo!
- Whoo!
Copy !req
563. - There we go.
Copy !req
564. - Now the ladies will move on
to the group dance.
Copy !req
565. - Whoo!
Copy !req
566. Whoo!
Copy !req
567. - Five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
568. - Glamazons, Bombers,
the battle raging on.
Copy !req
569. This cheer ain't over.
Copy !req
570. Now bring it on!
Copy !req
571. - When I get all the way
up to the top,
Copy !req
572. I feel like, yes,
I'm a cheerleader.
Copy !req
573. - Oh!
Copy !req
574. - Whoo!
(cheers and applause)
Copy !req
575. - The judges are going to have
a tough time scoring this one.
Copy !req
576. I feel bad for them.
Copy !req
577. Oh, wait.
I'm a judge. Uh.
Copy !req
578. - The category is
white party realness.
Copy !req
579. Nina Bo'nina Brown
Zeta Jones.
Copy !req
580. - Glamazon Shazaam-a-zon.
Copy !req
581. - When Nina Bo'nina Banana
Osama bin Laden Brown
Copy !req
582. hits the runway, child,
I'm a bad bitch.
Copy !req
583. - Hungry, hungry hip pads.
Copy !req
584. - Ooh.
Copy !req
585. - Alexis Michelle.
Copy !req
586. - Do these earrings
make my ass look fat?
Copy !req
587. - I'm serving glamour,
Copy !req
588. but I've got it turned on
its ear just a little bit.
Copy !req
589. - Tin roof frosted.
Copy !req
590. Shea Coulee.
Copy !req
591. - I'll have two
vanilla cones, please.
Copy !req
592. - I'm serving you chocolate
sixties bodacious babe.
Copy !req
593. - Remember when
we used to do white lines?
Copy !req
594. - Whoo!
- (laughs)
Copy !req
595. - Charlie Hides.
Copy !req
596. - Very Linda Evans
from "Dynasty."
Copy !req
597. - The outfit is amazing.
Copy !req
598. I look like a fashion
illustration of the Snow Queen.
Copy !req
599. - You know,
she's from the hood.
Copy !req
600. - Sasha Velour.
Copy !req
601. - I've taken a classic
silhouette and updated it
Copy !req
602. with a commitment to showing
women who are strong.
Copy !req
603. - You know what they say about
girls who wear white pumps.
Copy !req
604. - True hooker.
Copy !req
605. - Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
606. - Aja.
Copy !req
607. - Where's my fava beans
and chianti?
Copy !req
608. - I believe that's
a whitening strip, actually.
Copy !req
609. - I'm an Illuminati
princess.
Copy !req
610. They tried to silence me,
and I'm like, no, bitch,
Copy !req
611. I'm still gonna talk.
Copy !req
612. - Now you Khali-see me,
now you don't.
Copy !req
613. - Hmm.
Copy !req
614. - Jaymes Mansfield.
Copy !req
615. - Gentlemen prefer
a white muff.
Copy !req
616. - My look is fun.
It's campy.
Copy !req
617. I look fabulous.
Copy !req
618. - The girl can't help it.
Copy !req
619. - Oh, I'm sure she can.
Copy !req
620. - Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
Copy !req
621. - Oh, my goodness, I think
I'm having a déjà Ru.
Copy !req
622. - I'm going to
the most expensive
Copy !req
623. white party ever, okay?
Copy !req
624. - My fair Coo-Coo.
Copy !req
625. - (laughs)
Copy !req
626. - Farrah Moan.
Copy !req
627. - I like the peek-a-boos.
Copy !req
628. - I'm giving you
a little bit of ass,
Copy !req
629. a little bit of class
and some broken glass.
Copy !req
630. - She is quite the hipster.
Copy !req
631. Valentina.
Copy !req
632. - Oh.
Copy !req
633. - Nice day
for a white wedding.
Copy !req
634. - I'm inspired by my mom
and dad's wedding video.
Copy !req
635. My mom was known as the
beautiful bride in her hometown,
Copy !req
636. and I want
to tell you that story.
Copy !req
637. - If anybody has any objections,
shut the fuck up.
Copy !req
638. - Yeah. (laughs)
Copy !req
639. Trinity Taylor.
Copy !req
640. - I think a UFO landed.
Copy !req
641. - My ass looks really good
in these white pants.
Copy !req
642. They look like two snowballs
just juggling.
Copy !req
643. - I hear she comes in piece.
Copy !req
644. - Kimora Blac.
Copy !req
645. - Now that's
my kind of patriotism.
Copy !req
646. - I'm going to a white party
on a boat
Copy !req
647. with hot sailors,
and we're gonna have fun.
Copy !req
648. - I don't think she'll sink,
do you?
Copy !req
649. - She comes with
her own flotation device.
Copy !req
650. Peppermint.
Ooh, winter mint.
Copy !req
651. - I've chosen
an Elvis Presley-inspired
Copy !req
652. rock 'n' roll extravaganza.
Copy !req
653. - That pearl necklace
seems to be dripping.
Copy !req
654. - Eureka.
Copy !req
655. Honey, it's milking time.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
656. - I'm giving you glamour,
Copy !req
657. androgynous Glamazonian,
big tuna fish.
Copy !req
658. - Eureka,
like the vacuum cleaner?
Copy !req
659. - Yes, and she can suck.
Copy !req
660. - Maybe I won't have my mother
watch this show.
Copy !req
661. - Coming up...
Copy !req
662. - You were so fun to watch.
Copy !req
663. - Space age fashion,
I adore it.
Copy !req
664. - You're like a drug dealer.
Gave me a little dose.
Copy !req
665. I wanted more.
(all laugh)
Copy !req
666. - Welcome, ladies.
Copy !req
667. This week
you competed as teams,
Copy !req
668. but you'll be judged
as individuals.
Copy !req
669. When I call your name,
please step forward.
Copy !req
670. Nina Bo'nina Brown.
Copy !req
671. Alexis Michelle.
Copy !req
672. Sasha Velour.
Copy !req
673. Aja.
Copy !req
674. Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
Copy !req
675. Farrah Moan.
Copy !req
676. Peppermint.
Copy !req
677. Eureka.
Copy !req
678. Ladies, you are safe.
Copy !req
679. - (exhales)
Copy !req
680. - Thank you.
Copy !req
681. - You may leave the stage.
Copy !req
682. It's time
for the judges' critiques...
Copy !req
683. Starting with Shea Coulee.
Copy !req
684. - Tonight, you are giving me
this futuristic look
Copy !req
685. with hair that hearkens back
to Barbarella,
Copy !req
686. and I'm really feeling it.
Copy !req
687. - And the routine you did,
you were fantastic.
Copy !req
688. - She did some amazing flips,
and I made note of that.
Copy !req
689. - You could see
the humor there, too.
Copy !req
690. - As a kid, I wanted to be
like Dominique Dawes so bad,
Copy !req
691. but my parents were like, uh,
you can do that in the backyard.
Copy !req
692. We ain't putting you
in no lessons.
Copy !req
693. (all laugh)
- Thank you, Shea Coulee.
Copy !req
694. Next up, Charlie Hides.
Copy !req
695. - I didn't remember you
from the acrobatic thing.
Copy !req
696. - I tried to star everyone
that I really thought stood out.
Copy !req
697. - Did Charlie have a star?
- No.
Copy !req
698. - But I'll tell you this,
you seized me on the runway.
Copy !req
699. This look is just so good.
Copy !req
700. - Thank you.
Copy !req
701. - Up next,
Jaymes Mansfield.
Copy !req
702. - Hi.
Copy !req
703. - The way you pad
is glorious.
Copy !req
704. You're giving me, like,
saddlebag and hips.
Copy !req
705. It's hot.
But in the cheer,
Copy !req
706. I don't remember you,
and that's not good.
Copy !req
707. I think you like to consider
yourself a comedy queen,
Copy !req
708. but I haven't found anything
funny coming from you.
Copy !req
709. I feel that
you're unsure of yourself.
Copy !req
710. You have to believe it
in order to sell us.
Copy !req
711. - You do
this airhead shtick,
Copy !req
712. and I think if you committed
all the say, it'd be great.
Copy !req
713. And I think that's what
Michelle's getting at,
Copy !req
714. is the confidence
to commit 100%,
Copy !req
715. and I feel like
it's at 20%.
Copy !req
716. - Next up, Valentina.
Copy !req
717. - I loved this
virginal Latina bride
Copy !req
718. down to the crossing
of yourself.
Copy !req
719. It was also beautiful
Copy !req
720. all the way down to the nude
and not white shoe.
Copy !req
721. But we won't bring that up.
Copy !req
722. Now, the cheerleading,
what I loved the most
Copy !req
723. was that even when
the lights weren't on,
Copy !req
724. I was watching you, and you
were fully in character.
Copy !req
725. And it just—it was so,
like, "SNL" moment.
Copy !req
726. - I found myself
looking for you.
Copy !req
727. You're like a drug dealer.
You gave me a little dose.
Copy !req
728. I wanted more.
(all laugh)
Copy !req
729. Keep it up, or as you say
in Spanish—
Copy !req
730. I don't know how you—
I don't know how to say that.
Copy !req
731. - Next up, Trinity Taylor.
Copy !req
732. - You had
the toughest job of all
Copy !req
733. as the ultimate flier,
and you were so fun to watch.
Copy !req
734. - And I think
this outfit's fantastic.
Copy !req
735. Beyond Mugler.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
736. - Up next, Kimora Blac.
Copy !req
737. - What stood out to me
was the wig you had on,
Copy !req
738. but you didn't really stand out
athletically.
Copy !req
739. - And that's not good.
Copy !req
740. - Tonight, probably my least
favorite on the runway.
Copy !req
741. If I looked at you,
Copy !req
742. I'd automatically think
nautical theme.
Copy !req
743. I wish the gloves were white
and the bra was white.
Copy !req
744. I know it sounds like
it's a lot of white,
Copy !req
745. but it's a white party.
Copy !req
746. - Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
Copy !req
747. While you untuck backstage,
Copy !req
748. the judges and I
will deliberate.
Copy !req
749. All right, just between
us squirrel friends,
Copy !req
750. what do you think,
Copy !req
751. starting with Shea Coulee?
Copy !req
752. - I thought she was the best
in the athletic department,
Copy !req
753. and I thought
she looked great tonight.
Copy !req
754. I love that outfit.
Copy !req
755. - In terms of star quality,
she has it.
Copy !req
756. But I think she needs
to have some kind of padding.
Copy !req
757. She's got thighs,
but she ain't got no booty.
Copy !req
758. - All right. Let's move on
to Charlie Hides.
Copy !req
759. - In the cheerleading thing,
Copy !req
760. she had this great character
of Boozy.
Copy !req
761. You, out of everybody, Charlie,
could've taken it all the way.
Copy !req
762. - But Charlie
looked beautiful,
Copy !req
763. certainly carried herself well
on the runway.
Copy !req
764. - I'm eager to see what she
pulls out of her suitcase next,
Copy !req
765. but she better pull
personality out, too.
Copy !req
766. - Jaymes Mansfield.
Copy !req
767. - Listen, you got a name
like Jaymes Mansfield,
Copy !req
768. you better deliver.
Copy !req
769. - I used to watch
"The Match Game,"
Copy !req
770. and Jayne Mansfield would
come on every so often
Copy !req
771. and had a wiggle
in her walk.
Copy !req
772. Jaymes needs more voom
in his vah-vah.
Copy !req
773. - She wants to portray herself
as this comedic character,
Copy !req
774. when I don't think
Copy !req
775. that character's
completely realized yet.
Copy !req
776. - Jaymes' audition tape
was so funny, I got it.
Copy !req
777. I understood the shtick.
Copy !req
778. But I think that since she's
been in this competition
Copy !req
779. with the other girls,
she's thrown off.
Copy !req
780. - Yeah.
Copy !req
781. - Valentina.
Copy !req
782. - Valentina, rrrrrrr.
Copy !req
783. As a cheerleader,
she really stood out
Copy !req
784. with her facial expressions.
Copy !req
785. She just made you
notice her.
Copy !req
786. - And I thought she was
the best dressed tonight.
Copy !req
787. I thought she was stunning.
Copy !req
788. - Michelle, you did clock her
on her nude shoes.
Copy !req
789. - I'm sorry,
I just couldn't let that go,
Copy !req
790. because she was
so flawless head to toe,
Copy !req
791. why wouldn't she put
a white shoe on?
Copy !req
792. Why would she throw
a nude clunker?
Copy !req
793. - Well, maybe she was thinking
something old, something new,
Copy !req
794. something borrowed,
something nude.
Copy !req
795. - Someone you blew.
Copy !req
796. - Trinity Taylor.
Copy !req
797. - I thought
it was really impressive
Copy !req
798. how both characters
were completely different.
Copy !req
799. I wouldn't
have recognized her.
Copy !req
800. - Tonight on the runway, though,
it wasn't my favorite thing
Copy !req
801. 'cause we've kind of seen
a lot of this over the years.
Copy !req
802. - I thought
it was very original.
Copy !req
803. - Space age fashion,
I mean, that's total B-52.
Copy !req
804. I adore it.
Copy !req
805. - Kimora Blac.
Copy !req
806. - I didn't remember her
from the competition,
Copy !req
807. and that wasn't
my favorite outfit.
Copy !req
808. - I thought
she was a newbie.
Copy !req
809. - I know why you got
that impression,
Copy !req
810. because she paired
so many different looks
Copy !req
811. onto that one look.
- Right.
Copy !req
812. - Where someone who's a
seasoned prostitute would have—
Copy !req
813. would have just chosen
the nautical hat.
Copy !req
814. It actually accented her
inability to tell a story.
Copy !req
815. - She's got so much
going for her,
Copy !req
816. the look, the face, the body,
the confidence on stage.
Copy !req
817. But in terms of who are you
as a performer,
Copy !req
818. I don't know,
but I know I want to know.
Copy !req
819. - All right. Silence!
Copy !req
820. I've made my decision.
Copy !req
821. Bring back my girls.
Copy !req
822. - Welcome back, ladies.
Copy !req
823. I've made some decisions.
Copy !req
824. Shea Coulee.
Copy !req
825. You're safe.
Copy !req
826. - Thank you.
Copy !req
827. - Jaymes Mansfield.
Copy !req
828. On the runway, you gave us
bombshell floozy,
Copy !req
829. but your cheer routine
was a little too snoozy.
Copy !req
830. I'm sorry, my dear, but
you're up for elimination.
Copy !req
831. - It's frustrating.
Copy !req
832. What I'm trying to show
the judges isn't translating,
Copy !req
833. and I don't really know
what else they want from me.
Copy !req
834. - Trinity Taylor.
Copy !req
835. You're safe.
Copy !req
836. - Thank you.
Copy !req
837. - Valentina.
Copy !req
838. Your cheer engaged us,
Copy !req
839. and your bridal runway
made me say, "I do."
Copy !req
840. Sissy-boom-bah,
Copy !req
841. you're the winner
of this week's challenge.
Copy !req
842. You've won a custom wig wardrobe
from Rock Star Wigs.
Copy !req
843. - Thank you so much.
Copy !req
844. - You may join
the other girls.
Copy !req
845. Charlie Hides.
You scored on the runway,
Copy !req
846. but your cheer routine
did not meet our squad goals.
Copy !req
847. Kimora Blac, in the cheer,
you disappeared.
Copy !req
848. And in white, you got read
for being too blue.
Copy !req
849. Charlie Hides...
Copy !req
850. You're safe.
Copy !req
851. - Thank you very much.
Copy !req
852. - Kimora Blac, I'm sorry,
my dear,
Copy !req
853. but you are up
for elimination.
Copy !req
854. Two queens stand before me.
Copy !req
855. Prior to tonight,
Copy !req
856. you were asked to prepare
a lip sync performance
Copy !req
857. of "Love Shack"
by the B-52s.
Copy !req
858. Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me
Copy !req
859. and save yourself
from elimination.
Copy !req
860. The time has come...
(thunder)
Copy !req
861. To lip sync for your...
Copy !req
862. (echo) life!
Copy !req
863. - It really starts
to sink in.
Copy !req
864. The pressure's on,
because I'm performing it
Copy !req
865. in front of
the B-52s themselves.
Copy !req
866. - To put me
on the bottom two first?
Copy !req
867. Jaymes, watch out.
Copy !req
868. - Good luck.
Copy !req
869. And don't fuck it up.
Copy !req
870. - Tin roof...
Copy !req
871. rusted.
Copy !req
872. - Ladies,
I've made my decision.
Copy !req
873. Kimora Blac,
Shante you stay.
Copy !req
874. You may join
the other girls.
Copy !req
875. Jaymes Mansfield,
we're all rooting for you.
Copy !req
876. Now sashay away.
Copy !req
877. - Thank you. Bye.
Copy !req
878. I came in first.
Copy !req
879. Well, that didn't quite go
exactly as I hoped it would.
Copy !req
880. I wasn't fully representing
myself, and that's my fault.
Copy !req
881. But underneath
all this glamorous drag,
Copy !req
882. I'm still a human being,
so be kind.
Copy !req
883. - Con-drag-ulations, ladies.
Copy !req
884. And remember,
if you can't love yourself,
Copy !req
885. how in the hell you gonna
love somebody else?
Copy !req
886. Can I get an amen
up in here?
Copy !req
887. Amen!
- All right.
Copy !req
888. Now let the music play!
Copy !req
