8. the time has come for you to...

9. Ru-veal yourself.

10. Jenna Ushkowitz.

11. Oh, I loved you on Glee!

12. For anybody thinking about doing drag, but is unsure,

13. I say put on those heels and go for it.

14. This week, our queens are flashing back.

15. Category is I Love The Nineties.

16. There are only five girls left,

17. so they're under immense pressure.

18. I'm the only contestant that still hasn't won a challenge.

19. I'm ready to burn 'em up, baby.

20. Definitely the hardest thing I've done so far.

21. One wrong move, and it could ruin the entire performance.

22. If we could pull this off, this is gonna be epic.

23. And it all starts in three—

24. You actually committed to this like a pop star.

25. Two...

26. You put the "ho" back in "hoedown."

27. One.

28. From this moment on, no more secrets!

29. And what?

30. Welcome to RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race.

31. Say hello to our judges, Michelle Visage.

32. And style superstar Carson Kressley.

33. This week, our celebrity queens

34. are taking us on a crazy, sexy, cool journey back in time.

35. Tonight, category is I Love The Nineties.

36. Celebrities, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.

37. The winner of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race

38. will win $100.000 for their favorite charity

39. and be crowned America's next celebrity drag superstar.

40. Let's get this party started.

41. All hail our Queen Supremes:

42. Jujubee, Brooke Lynn Hytes, and Monét X Change!

43. Oh, my goodness. Hey, ladykins.

44. So what's the backstage tea this week?

45. You know, the full tea is that there are only five girls left,

46. so they're under immense pressure.

47. Just like her toes right now.

48. You mean yo head in that tight, flat-ass wig?

49. Ru, free your mind.

50. This week, we challenged our queens

51. to perform a song that they love from the 1990s.

52. Cool.

53. So now it's time to spice things up

54. with our first queen of the night.

55. Ziggah-zig, ah.

56. Take a look.

57. Hi, Mami.

58. - I am so proud of you. - Thank you.

59. Two weeks ago, Ru said

60. I need to really embrace my feminine side.

61. Bitch, you need to sissy that walk.

62. And last week, Morgan helped me embrace

63. more of that sissy sassiness,

64. and I kind of think I realize now

65. that I need to just let go and let drag take this all the way.

66. I gotta keep ramping that same lane up

67. to even more ridiculousness.

68. This week is nineties week.

69. I wanna know what your life was like in the nineties.

70. Pure insanity.

71. I couldn't go anywhere

72. without being followed or just girls everywhere.

73. But also, to me it was some of the best music ever.

74. The song I chose is from, in my opinion,

75. the biggest girl group of the nineties.

76. Each of them had their own iconic style,

77. so in this performance,

78. I could have just played one of the girls,

79. but I decided what about if I played all five?

80. So that means five different looks, five reveals,

81. to really go over the top, to drag it up even more.

82. If we could pull this off, this is gonna be epic.

83. It's stuck. One little string just got snagged, yeah.

84. Yeah.

85. I do feel like bigger movements and more deliberate things

86. that are leaning into the funny of drag.

87. The whole performance is gonna blow the socks off them.

88. It is all about girl power,

89. and I'm trying to channel

90. what I learned about my feminine side from last week.

91. This week you're gonna see five levels of Poppy

92. in one performance.

93. Look at the pose. Look at the pose.

94. - That is your daughter.

95. Oh, my gosh.

96. Wow!

97. Poppy Love, my goodness.

98. Let's here from Shady Spice, Michelle Visage.

99. You know, it's every new drag queen's dream

100. to do a reveal,

101. and you gave us, I think five looks tonight here on the stage.

102. So that was remarkable.

103. Definitely took lots and lots and lots of rehearsal, but, yes.

104. Well, it paid off,

105. because you didn't have months, you had days.

106. - So you did that. - True.

107. That was fantastic.

108. - Thank you. Thank you. - Yeah.

109. Great, great job tonight.

110. - Hi, Poppy. - Hi.

111. That was so great.

112. It was like Ginger Spice and Bianca Del Rio had a baby.

113. It was great drag. It was really campy.

114. I could see a little bit of the wheels turning

115. as you were doing some of the quite elaborate dance numbers,

116. and sometimes, you know, you were hiding behind the boys

117. to make the reveal like a wow moment when you popped out.

118. But make those reveals huge, like, every time.

119. Like, you know, flasher in Times Square. Like, bam!

120. Think about some wig reveals in the future,

121. because you're bringing so much good stuff every week,

122. you wanna keep building on all of your momentum,

123. which has been insane.

124. Thank you so much. Thank you.

125. Having a blast.

126. It's been so much fun watching your journey,

127. watching you envelop Poppy Love, and previously, the critique was

128. to sissy that walk a little bit more.

129. What does that mean to you, to sissy that walk?

130. To me, it just means to just be comfortable in my own skin,

131. and to just not care what anyone else says or thinks

132. and just have fun.

133. Yes!

134. Just werk.

135. That's what it means... to me.

136. All right, spice up your life.

137. Audience, let's hear it for Poppy Love!

138. I think "Sissy That Wok"

139. would be a great name for a Thai restaurant.

140. Yes, I love it.

141. Welcome back to RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race.

142. Tonight, category is I Love The Nineties.

143. Next up, when it comes to Donna Bellissima,

144. you can't keep a good ho down.

145. Take a look.

146. Hey, Ma.

147. Hey, doll. Flashback to last week.

148. My girl Silky came and she gave me so much confidence.

149. She made me realize I could be a big, sexy lady.

150. I could tell you love the way you look tonight.

151. Yes!

152. All positive critiques, nothing negative.

153. It was all "Donna, you're fierce."

154. - But I didn't win. - It doesn't matter.

155. Listen, it could have been worse.

156. You could have been in the bottom.

157. I'm the only contestant that still hasn't won a challenge,

158. so slow and steady wins the race.

159. - This week is nineties week. - Right.

160. How were the nineties for you?

161. The nineties encompassed a lot of developmental time for me.

162. The definitive year of the nineties for me was 1999.

163. That was the year that I left conversion therapy

164. and decided I'm gay,

165. and I'm gonna live authentically.

166. I remember this song.

167. That was my happy place,

168. because it reminds me of the moment

169. that I decided I'm gonna live my life the way I wanna live it.

170. You find ways to tell the story of who Donna is.

171. I think it's gonna be fierce.

172. Look who I brought with me.

173. The vibe this week is a conservative girl

174. that's finally letting loose and letting her hair down.

175. She got a little fire in her belly,

176. and she's ready to just, like,

177. blow some smoke all around the room.

178. I really feel like week five, we found the zone.

179. I'm ready to burn 'em up, baby.

180. I want just a little bit more energy on stage

181. to really give us a home run.

182. Werk, bitch.

183. I have a strong connection to this song,

184. and if I can pull this off, it could really be my week.

185. Because of Silky, I literally feel my most beautiful.

186. I'm in it to win it,

187. and I'm ready to slay some bitches.

188. That was so good.

189. Oh, my goodness.

190. Donna Bellissima.

191. I love that you didn't choose

192. a predictable nineties song for a drag queen.

193. Something really clicked for you this week.

194. I don't know if it was the song.

195. It brings you back to that time.

196. I loved it tonight.

197. Well, she-haw, that was—

198. you put the "ho" back in "hoedown." Thank you.

199. Some of the criticisms

200. that I think we gave you over the former weeks,

201. that it was a lot of props and it was a little confusing,

202. and I think this was a perfect example

203. of distilling it down and editing

204. to just leaving the good stuff in.

205. And you found, like, your groove and your sexiness,

206. and you were unapologetic about it,

207. and I think that was your breakthrough this week,

208. and it was really amazing to see that.

209. Wow. You look beautiful.

210. And you listened to the judges' critiques,

211. which was you played out to the audience,

212. which a lot of times in your past performances,

213. there was so much going on.

214. What made this week so different?

215. The nineties were a difficult time for me.

216. I was very confused about my sexuality and my religion

217. and what people would think of it.

218. And this song came up the year I got out of conversion therapy,

219. and it was kind of just, like, let loose, it doesn't matter.

220. Like, you've been good for too long.

221. Like, enjoy yourself, see what it's about.

222. And I found a way to be myself and still keep God in my life,

223. so I'm very happy.

224. Give it up for Donna Bellissima.

225. Now it's time to do that thing

226. with our next queen, Chakra 7.

227. Take a look.

228. Hi, gorg.

229. So what's the tea?

230. How you feeling?

231. I feel good.

232. Last week was really different.

233. I mean, Eureka! is a total pro.

234. I had to really work hard to not disappear on the stage.

235. I'm proud of myself for bringing my power and beauty

236. in the story that we were telling.

237. Now I'm up for a challenge

238. to do something completely different.

239. I got the vibe that I need to come

240. with a little bit of foolishness this time.

241. - A little fun, a little comedy. - We haven't seen that from you.

242. I know.

243. - Last week was last week. - Right.

244. This week is this week,

245. and we've gotta focus on what's going on right now.

246. which is nineties week. Whoo!

247. I love the nineties.

248. In the nineties I was acting like crazy,

249. I was touring with music,

250. and balancing that with just coming into myself.

251. For this week, my song is a real nineties classic.

252. I'm working on being more silly,

253. and I will be the lunch lady serving up the tea.

254. Dig into that round the world. More like this.

255. Just put your stank— yeah, girl, be stank.

256. This, like, sexy lunch lady

257. who'll be, like, I have been working in school for 27 years,

258. I ain't tenured.

259. - I know what they want. - You know—

260. - Exactly!

261. I want to come with something new every single week.

262. For this week we're actually playing with paint on my skin.

263. Ooh, she's blue. She's feeling blue today.

264. This week, I am excited

265. for Chakra to bring in the foolishness.

266. Chakra 7 is gonna bring the funny,

267. and she's gonna be laughing all the way to the top.

268. Good job, Chakra!

269. We have just witnessed the Miseducation of Chakra 7.

270. Yes, we have.

271. You know, I was trying to give you some foolishness,

272. a little bit of—

273. trying to teach these kids what to do, you know, how to act.

274. If that is a correctional facility or a school for boys,

275. I want to be a student and/or a janitor.

276. I don't care.

277. But you fully committed to the character.

278. Like, you could see it in your face, Chakra,

279. and that's what, I think, was missing a few times,

280. was sometimes drag is not just the way you look,

281. it's about the over-ridiculousness.

282. And you gave us the drag of it all,

283. with a touch of James Brown, by the way.

284. - Yes, yes. - Did you catch that?

285. Thinking back to some of your former routines,

286. they were a little bit academic,

287. you know, very well thought out and very cerebral.

288. But I like that you have range and versatility,

289. and this week you said, listen, I'm going to wear

290. my groove is in the heart psychedelic print dress

291. with marabou trim and a purple wig.

292. It was really fantastic.

293. Boy, that was so much fun.

294. It looked like you were having a lot of fun.

295. It looked like you love that song

296. and you love being blue.

297. I feel like it's the real me.

298. I don't know where she's been all this time.

299. Now, what was different about this week for you?

300. I wanted to bring the silly, I wanted to bring humor.

301. I don't feel like I've done that before.

302. To have fun, to go big, and just to let it rip.

303. - Well, you did that. - So I tried to do that.

304. Give it up for Chakra 7.

305. What a delight she is.

306. - Yeah, she is. - That was fun.

307. Very smart.

308. I loved that little James Brown moment she did.

309. - I loved that. I loved that. - That was cute.

310. Welcome back to RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race.

311. Tonight, we're flashing back, back, back again.

312. Category is I Love The Nineties.

313. Up next, you better not rub Chic-Li-Fay the wrong way.

314. Take a look.

315. Mama, it's me. Oh, Mama!

316. It's my winner, winner, Chicky dinner.

317. How do you feel, two weeks in a row?

318. Good.

319. The judges' reviews obviously were glowing.

320. I don't know if you even know how good that was.

321. They love the fact that you're a comedy queen

322. and then you discovered your sexy side, your dance side,

323. and then you kind of went back to comedy last week,

324. but you did it in a very different way.

325. It was very still.

326. Thanks to Violet.

327. Having Violet there helped me hone in the sexiness.

328. I want to keep that streak going.

329. This week is about nineties.

330. - The best time in music ever. - The best.

331. We're going pop.

332. I'm thinking Arabian Nights kind of feeling.

333. I chose a song from one of my favorite singers ever.

334. I taught myself to dance

335. by watching her music videos in the nineties.

336. Body rolls, that's all we need.

337. - Okay. - All the skills.

338. Body roll. Chic-Li-Fay is giving sensual, sultry sexiness.

339. Not any comedy.

340. It's high, high, high heels,

341. the highest heels I've worn so far,

342. and just melting into the movement.

343. Yes, there you go.

344. This is definitely the hardest thing I've done so far.

345. Being a slut.

346. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

347. This performance smells like sex, and I love it.

348. - Juju smells like poppers. - Mmm.

349. I think I'll get this.

350. Once the lights turn on and the music starts,

351. the judges are there and the audience is clapping,

352. I'll be going full out, full sexy.

353. Violet will be proud of me.

354. I'm ready to win the week again.

355. You proud of her?

356. I'm very proud of her.

357. Yeah, I'm proud of her, too.

358. Chic-Li-Fay, my goodness.

359. That to me was like, you know, you've been having fun,

360. and we talked earlier about everything having to be

361. a wah-wah-heh-heh-hoo-hah, I'm funny.

362. And I love that you played it kind of—

363. I hate to use the word— but you played it straight.

364. Who, me?

365. It felt like you thought about it

366. and you delivered it the way it should have been delivered.

367. So I love it.

368. You really rubbed me the right way.

369. Thank you for that.

370. You commanded this entire room.

371. It's not always that easy in a mid-tempo song

372. that is a little bit kind of relaxed.

373. You really have to sell that number with your dancing,

374. which was incredible and flawless.

375. It was so good,

376. I didn't even really know you were doing choreography.

377. You were just on point at every moment.

378. What changed for you this week?

379. To Michelle's point,

380. when we were talking about the song to begin with,

381. I was like, oh, maybe there's some funny,

382. - but no, don't do it. - Uh-huh, uh-huh.

383. And committing straight to the sexy,

384. the sultry, the sensual.

385. And I was like, what else do I have in my toolbox?

386. But Brooke Lynn was, like,

387. you don't need to reinvent yourself every single week.

388. She was, like, why don't you explore

389. the things you've already shown?

390. So you've shown sexy, but go deeper into that.

391. Well, Chic-Li-Fay, thank you for taking us to a whole new world.

392. Give it up for Chic-Li-Fay!

393. All that ass, all those titties,

394. all that ass and hips.

395. These kids love all that padding.

396. They love it. Yes, it's all—

397. There's a lot of chicken up in there.

398. Welcome back to RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race.

399. Tonight, category is I Love The Nineties.

400. Last but not beast,

401. everyone's going crazy for Thirsty Von Trap.

402. Take a look.

403. Your daughter ain't dead yet.

404. - Aah!

405. I love that.

406. Well, I'm here.

407. Yes, you are, but don't say it like that.

408. I need "Well, bitch, I'm here."

409. No, I am here.

410. I felt very proud of myself

411. for holding my own

412. and bringing that confidence I learned from Katya,

413. despite the fact that it didn't necessarily fare well for me.

414. You are up for elimination.

415. I think one thing

416. was Ru had a disconnect with your story.

417. I thought that we turned it out.

418. I wasn't quite sure about the story.

419. So this week I wanna make sure

420. that I'm telling a clear-cut story.

421. I don't think that there's any room for misinterpretation.

422. - It's nineties week. - Nineties week.

423. The song that I chose this week,

424. it's off an album

425. that was one of the first albums that I ever owned as a kid.

426. But we're throwing a little twist on it.

427. My look is waitress girl.

428. One, two.

429. It's like bubblegum nineties pop princess

430. meets, like, Sweeney Todd.

431. You were so twisted and demented,

432. and when you, like, whispered in his ear,

433. I was, like, oh, my God.

434. I think that my biggest struggle

435. throughout this entire competition

436. has just been, like, feeling confident,

437. and now I'm trying to make sure

438. that the story is as clear-cut and linear as possible,

439. to show that I'm more confident than last week.

440. Just don't be afraid to just drag it up

441. and be as campy as possible.

442. Just always lean into that extra piece of camp/drag,

443. and you can't go wrong.

444. Well, this week, Thirsty Von Trap

445. is going to kill it, kill you, or all of the above.

446. So good.

447. So good. I love that.

448. Thirsty Von Trap, the other white meat.

449. This week, you're really feeling your drag.

450. I saw you pushing to give us more.

451. I saw you trying to go there.

452. I'm gonna beg for even more, please.

453. Go so far that you feel ridiculous,

454. and then you're probably close,

455. but not even there at that point, you know what I mean?

456. Yes, yes.

457. Drag, I think, you know, is not the art of subtlety,

458. and especially when you're playing to a big audience.

459. Like, in the theater, they say play to the back row.

460. We want you to play to Glendale,

461. or the other side of the 405.

462. Thirsty, I could tell you love this outfit.

463. Any time you have little ankle socks

464. with a pair of pumps like that,

465. it says one thing:

466. You are a whore.

467. That's what we were going for.

468. Yes, yes.

469. You were feeling fierce.

470. You love this look, I can tell.

471. - I do. - But it doesn't really allow you

472. to go as goofy as you should.

473. You've made it this far.

474. You know, I always tell kids,

475. listen, learn all the rules,

476. and then break them.

477. I think that the one thing that I've struggled with

478. throughout my entire journey in this competition

479. is taking it to the nth degree

480. and not being afraid to be foolish.

481. Well, it's difficult when you look this hot.

482. Because what happens is—

483. No, it's true.

484. A lot of the kids, first time in drag,

485. they feel, oh, my goodness, I am so sexy,

486. I have so much power, and you wanna play that angle of it.

487. But, you know, the fool

488. is really who we want to see, you know?

489. And that is something that I've been really striving

490. to kind of really allow myself

491. to be uninhibited from week one until now.

492. But, of course, you know,

493. there's always room to go bigger.

494. Sure, yes.

495. Thirsty Von Trap, you drive us crazy!

496. - Thank you. - Give it up!

497. Thank you.

498. Welcome back to RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race.

499. It's time to decide who is this week's winner

500. and which two queens will lip sync for their lives.

501. So while the judges and I deliberate,

502. let's take one more look at this week's performances.

503. Poppy Love.

504. You know, it's every new drag queen's dream

505. to do a reveal,

506. and you gave us, I think,

507. five looks tonight here on the stage.

508. So that was remarkable.

509. Donna Bellissima.

510. You found, like, your groove and your sexiness,

511. and you were unapologetic about it,

512. and I think that was your breakthrough this week,

513. and it was really amazing.

514. Chakra 7.

515. Boy, that was so much fun.

516. It looked like you were having a lot of fun.

517. It looked like you love that song

518. and you love being blue.

519. Chic-Li-Fay.

520. You commanded that performance.

521. You commanded this entire room.

522. And I think before, we did get, you know,

523. goofy and camp, and I love that.

524. But this week we got sexy,

525. which shows versatility and range,

526. and it was really great.

527. Thirsty Von Trap.

528. You were feeling fierce.

529. You love this look, I can tell.

530. - I do. - But it doesn't really allow you

531. to go as goofy as you should.

532. You've made it this far.

533. You know, I always tell kids, listen,

534. learn all the rules, and then break them.

535. Ladies, I've made my decision.

536. Wait a minute. Hold up.

537. Oh, son of a bitch.

538. - Oh, no. - What's happening now?

539. Welcome back to RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race,

540. and welcome back, queens.

541. Based on your I Love The Nineties performances,

542. I've made some decisions.

543. Poppy Love.

544. Tonight, you've got the power,

545. girl power.

546. You're safe.

547. You may leave the stage.

548. Chic-Li-Fay.

549. Tonight, you rubbed one out

550. and made all our wishes come true.

551. You are safe.

552. You may leave the stage.

553. Thirsty Von Trap.

554. Your performance was rare and well done.

555. Filet, you stay.

556. You're safe.

557. Thank you. You may leave the stage.

558. That means Donna Bellissima, Chakra 7,

559. I'm sorry, my dears.

560. This week, you just weren't good.

561. You...

562. were great.

563. So for the first time

564. in Secret Celebrity Drag Race herstory,

565. the top two queens will lip sync for the win.

566. Hey, bitch!

567. Bitch.

568. You better bring it.

569. Two beautiful queens stand before me.

570. Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare

571. a lip sync performance of Believe by Cher.

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

573. and prove to the world that there's life after love.

574. The time has come...

575. for you to lip sync...

576. for the win!

577. Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

578. Ladies, I've made my decision.

579. Donna Bellissima, you're a winner, baby.

580. I'm so grateful, because truly, like,

581. I just grew up dreaming of a time

582. that I would be able to just, like, express myself,

583. like, artistically, spiritually, and just physically,

584. and I feel like I'm here, and I'm just so grateful. Thank you.

585. Chakra 7, you are safe to slay another day.

586. Yes, girl.

587. It's so insane!

588. Now, remember, if you can't love yourself,

589. how in the hell are you gonna love somebody—

590. Wait a minute. Hold up.

591. I almost forgot.

592. What?

593. Oh, no.

594. I have an important announcement to make.

595. Will all the queens backstage

596. please join us on the main stage?

597. - Okay. - Okay.

598. Oh, son of a bitch.

599. - Oh, no. - What's happening?

600. I hate twists.

601. My queens, it's getting more and more difficult

602. to judge you each week.

603. All of your solo lip sync performances

604. have reached a level of drag excellence.

605. But it's time to take this competition to the next level.

606. I've made a decision.

607. From this moment on...

608. no more secrets!

609. This game is about to change forever.

610. The time has come...

611. for each of you...

612. to Ru-veal yourself!
