Copy !req
56. that back in the day almost
sent Brooke Lynn Hytes home.
Copy !req
57. - You mean the challenge that
made me a lip-sync assassin?

Copy !req
59. Take a look.
Copy !req
60. Hello, hello, hello.
Copy !req
61. - Hello.
- Hey.
Copy !req
62. - To make it to next week's
grand finale,
Copy !req
63. you'll need to take on
the most challenging challenge
Copy !req
64. in drag race her-story.
Copy !req
65. - That's right.
Copy !req
66. In addition to your
solo lip-sync performances,
Copy !req
67. you'll all be playing...
Copy !req
68. The Snatch Game!
Copy !req
69. - Yes.
Copy !req

Copy !req
73. - And you know what they say.
Copy !req
74. Bringing a character to life
Copy !req
75. is key to being
a drag race superstar.
Copy !req
76. - This week is the Snatch Game,
Copy !req
77. an iconic "Drag Race"
challenge
Copy !req
78. where all of the queens
impersonate a celebrity.
Copy !req
79. - Nerve?
- All the nerves.
Copy !req
80. - But you're an actor.
Copy !req
81. - Yes, but impersonations
Copy !req
82. and impressions
are totally different.
Copy !req
83. It's one of the hardest
challenges on "Drag Race."
Copy !req
84. - It's acting.
Copy !req
85. It's the ability
to stay in the moment.
Copy !req
86. Listening.
- Right.
Copy !req
87. - You never know
what Ru is going to say.
Copy !req
88. You have
to know your character.
Copy !req
89. I'm gonna do Erika Jayne
Copy !req
90. from "Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills."
Copy !req
91. - I'm doing Celine Dion.
Copy !req
92. - 'Cause you want to follow
in my footsteps that much.
Copy !req
93. Basically,
if nothing else fails,
Copy !req
94. just do nothing that I did.
Copy !req
95. Who are you going to do
for Snatch Game?
Copy !req
96. - Eartha Kitt.
Copy !req
97. - I did Eartha on "All Stars"
season 5.
Copy !req
98. The voice is—
- Yes.
Copy !req
99. - So important.
Copy !req
100. - Ziggy Stardust,
AKA David Bowie.
Copy !req
101. He's an alien.
He's very, very soft spoken.
Copy !req
102. He's very like,
I believe in—
Copy !req
103. your body's in line
with the universe.
Copy !req
104. - This challenge, yes,
it's impersonating somebody,
Copy !req
105. but you must be funny.
Copy !req
106. - I'm definitely intimidated
by the other three
Copy !req
107. going into Snatch Game
because they are all actors.
Copy !req
108. - Want more growl.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
109. - Growl.
Copy !req
110. - I say go.
I say go to the edge of that.
Copy !req
111. - Anything
to make RuPaul laugh.
Copy !req
112. That's the whole name
of this whole Snatch Game.
Copy !req
113. You just want
to make him laugh.
Copy !req
114. Let's talk
about the characterization.
Copy !req
115. Celine is a nutjob.
She's crazy.
Copy !req
116. She's kooky.
- Lots of faces.
Copy !req
117. - She's weird
and all the faces.
Copy !req
118. - She does this.
Copy !req
119. Every time she makes a joke,
she's like—
Copy !req
120. Looks at the camera like,
Copy !req
121. I said the funniest thing,
but it was not.
Copy !req
122. - I know they're going
to embody their character
Copy !req
123. to the fullest.
Copy !req
124. - Let's go over
to the makeup mirror,
Copy !req
125. and I'm gonna ask you some
questions that I want you
Copy !req
126. to watch yourself answering...
Copy !req
127. - Oh.
Copy !req
128. - So you can really feel her.
- Okay.
Copy !req
129. - How do you
like your eggs cooked?
Copy !req
130. - I like my eggs over and easy
and over again.
Copy !req
131. - Erika, who is
your dream future husband?
Copy !req
132. - J. Howard Marshall.
Copy !req
133. - You mean Anna Nicole Smith's
ex-husband?
Copy !req
134. - Yes.
- Girl, he's dead.
Copy !req
135. - Exactly.
Copy !req
136. - I love Snatch Game.
Everybody's very talented.
Copy !req
137. We all have
such a good time together
Copy !req
138. that I feel like this
is just going to be a blast.
Copy !req
139. - Think about how your
character relates to everyone.
Copy !req
140. What would Eartha Kitt
think about Erika Jayne
Copy !req
141. if they met in real life?
Copy !req
142. - You have to be prepared
for the Snatch Game.
Copy !req
143. Prepare yourself
to lip-synch.
Copy !req
144. - Do not be afraid
to interact with each other.
Copy !req
145. - At this point,
being the semifinals,
Copy !req
146. there's only four of us,
I think that all of us
Copy !req
147. are really going into this not
knowing what's gonna happen.
Copy !req
148. I hope that the other girls
are as nervous as I am.
Copy !req
149. - Hey, everybody.
Copy !req
150. It's time to play
the Snatch Game.
Copy !req
151. Let's meet our contestants.
Copy !req
152. She's a part-time hooker
and a compulsive gambler.
Copy !req
153. Please welcome Monét X Change.
- Yes.
Copy !req
154. - She's a part-time gambler
and a compulsive hooker,
Copy !req
155. Brooke Lynn Hytes.
Copy !req
156. Hey, ladies, where's Jujubee?
Copy !req
157. - Ru, apparently
that bitch had jury duty.
Copy !req
158. - Yeah, likely story.
Copy !req
159. - It's always grape time.
Copy !req
160. - All right, let's meet
our star-studded panel.
Copy !req
161. First up, legendary singer,
actress, and activist—
Copy !req
162. Eartha Kitt is here.
Copy !req
163. - Hello, hello.
- Hey, Kitty girl.
Copy !req
164. What have you been up to?
Copy !req
165. - Oh, I've been touring
through Europe.
Copy !req
166. Spending a lot of time with
my friend, Porfirio Rubirosa.
Copy !req
167. You know,
they recently nicknamed
Copy !req
168. the pepper grinder after him?
Copy !req
169. I brought one for you.
Copy !req
170. - Next, her voice
will go on and on.
Copy !req
171. It's Celine Dion.
Copy !req
172. Now, Celine, you are,
Copy !req
173. in addition
to being a great singer,
Copy !req
174. a style icon.
Copy !req
175. Do you have
any fashion tips for us?
Copy !req
176. - I do have a note for you.
- Oh, okay.
Copy !req
177. - If I were you, I would drive
all night to get a new wig.
Copy !req
178. That's all.
Copy !req
179. - Well, see, the joke's on her.
Copy !req
180. This isn't a wig.
Copy !req
181. All right, next up, it's
"The Man Who Fell to Earth,"
Copy !req
182. David Bowie.
Copy !req
183. - Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Copy !req
184. - So in addition to Mars,
Copy !req
185. are there any other planets
you've been to?
Copy !req
186. - Uranus is one.
- Uh-huh, yes.
Copy !req
187. - It's quite desolate there.
Copy !req
188. - You remember.
- I do, I do.
Copy !req
189. - Next, she's a "Pretty Mess."
Copy !req
190. From the "Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills,"
Copy !req
191. it's Erika Jayne.
Copy !req
192. - Hi, Andy—I mean Ru.
Copy !req
193. - Are you
working on any new music?
Copy !req
194. - I am, in fact.
I have a new single coming out.
Copy !req
195. It's called
"I Don't Give a Buck."
Copy !req
196. - Because I literally
lost all of them.
Copy !req
197. I am so poor.
Copy !req
198. - Okay, contestants,
here's how the game works.
Copy !req
199. I ask a question,
and you give an answer
Copy !req
200. that you think
will match our stars.
Copy !req
201. All right, the first question
is for Brooke Lynn Hytes.
Copy !req
202. Brooke Lynn, there's a new
space program for drag queens.
Copy !req
203. - Mm.
Copy !req
204. - Instead of trips to the moon,
Copy !req
205. it offers trips to blank.
Copy !req
206. Celebrities, go ahead
and write your answers.
Copy !req
207. All right, what do you say?
Copy !req
208. - Well, I chose the planet
that actually got asked
Copy !req
209. to sashay away
from our solar system.
Copy !req
210. - All right, trips to Pluto.
Copy !req
211. Let's go to David Bowie.
Copy !req
212. There's a new drag queen space
program offering trips to...
Copy !req
213. - My dressing room.
- Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
214. Now, that is not a match,
Copy !req
215. but a very lovely try.
Copy !req
216. Let's move on down
to Erika Jayne.
Copy !req
217. - I said
reality television, Ru.
Copy !req
218. - So they could
finally understand
Copy !req
219. what it's like to be me.
Copy !req
220. - Ah.
- It's just so hard.
Copy !req
221. - Now, not a match for you.
Let's go to Eartha Kitt.
Copy !req
222. - I wrote my panties
Copy !req
223. because I'm not wearing any.
Copy !req
224. - Not a match there,
Brooke Lynn.
Copy !req
225. Let's move on down
to Celine Dion.
Copy !req
226. Wow, so many hits.
Copy !req
227. Do you have a favorite song
that you sing?
Copy !req
228. - "My Heart Will Go On"
is still—
Copy !req
229. In fact, I actually have—
- What?
Copy !req
230. - The heart of the ocean
with me.
Copy !req
231. - Oh.
- Yes.
Copy !req
232. Ooh.
- Oh, there it goes.
Copy !req
233. - I need all the money
I can get these days, Ru.
Copy !req
234. - So, Celine,
we are looking for Pluto.
Copy !req
235. - WeHo.
Copy !req
236. - To WeHo.
Copy !req
237. All right, now, not a match
for you, Brooke Lynn Hytes.
Copy !req
238. Next question is
for Monét X Change.
Copy !req
239. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion
Copy !req
240. are opening up a chain
of Italian restaurants.
Copy !req
241. Their signature dish
is wet-ass blank.
Copy !req
242. Celebrities, go ahead
and write your answers.
Copy !req
243. What say you, Monét X Change?
Copy !req
244. - Wet-ass poutine.
Copy !req
245. The gravy is nice and wet.
Copy !req
246. Yes, wet-ass poutine.
Copy !req
247. Monét, let's go
to the celebrities
Copy !req
248. and see if you got a match.
Copy !req
249. First up, Eartha Kitt.
Copy !req
250. - I wrote pussycat.
- Oh.
Copy !req
251. - I love pussycats.
Mine is always groomed.
Copy !req
252. - Let's move on
down to David Bowie.
Copy !req
253. - I went with fish and chips.
Copy !req
254. Unfortunately for Monét,
it's not a match.
Copy !req
255. So let's move on
down to Celine Dion,
Copy !req
256. the greatest singer
in the world.
Copy !req
257. Celine, what say you?
Copy !req
258. - Peanut butter.
- Oh.
Copy !req
259. You got a big jar there.
Copy !req
260. - Peanut butter is
for lubricating the throat.
Copy !req
261. - Lubricating the throat.
- Before the D.
Copy !req
262. - Before the D.
Copy !req
263. - The high D.
Copy !req
264. - Well, not a match,
but a very good try.
Copy !req
265. Let's move on down
to Erika Jayne
Copy !req
266. from Beverly Hills.
Copy !req
267. Erika, are you still
living in Beverly Hills?
Copy !req
268. - Well, I had to downsize to
a 3.000 square foot bungalow.
Copy !req
269. - We all feel for you.
We—
Copy !req
270. - Thank you so much.
I mean, what about me?
Copy !req
271. About—
- Yes.
Copy !req
272. So now, we are
looking for poutine.
Copy !req
273. - I went with my ex-husband,
Tom Girardi.
Copy !req
274. It is Italian and
has been aged for 81 years.
Copy !req
275. - All right, well,
Monét, no matches for you,
Copy !req
276. but that's—you're no stranger
to no matches, are you?
Copy !req
277. Let's move on down
to Brooke Lynn Hytes.
Copy !req
278. Have you heard?
Copy !req
279. "People" magazine
has named Jujubee
Copy !req
280. the sexiest blank alive.
Copy !req
281. What say you,
Brooke Lynn Hytes?
Copy !req
282. They named her
the sexiest thumb alive.
Copy !req
283. - She's short, hard, and hairy.
Copy !req
284. - I've been called
a foot before,
Copy !req
285. so a thumb is an upgrade.
Copy !req
286. - Let's go to Celine.
Copy !req
287. - The sexiest bottom
Copy !req
288. because she was
always in the bottom.
Copy !req
289. - Oh.
Copy !req
290. - I wrote blue-collar criminal.
Copy !req
291. - That's not a match,
but it's the truth.
Copy !req
292. Oh, shoot.
Copy !req
293. That buzzer means time is up.
Copy !req
294. Oh, shoot, yes.
- Oh.
Copy !req
295. - Let's check our scores.
Copy !req
296. Oh, the winner is...
Copy !req
297. Our pit crew dancers.
Copy !req
298. - Geronimo
Copy !req
299. They're falling
like they're dominos
Copy !req
300. Please believe it
and let that be the reason
Copy !req
301. Geronimo, Geronimo
Copy !req
302. They're falling
like they're dominos
Copy !req
303. - Until next time,
see you on Snatch Game.
Copy !req
304. - Where is everyone?
Copy !req
305. Boys?
Copy !req
306. - May the best
drag queen win
Copy !req
307. - Best drag queen win
Copy !req
308. - Welcome back
to the semifinals
Copy !req
309. of "RuPaul's Secret
Celebrity Drag Race."
Copy !req
310. Tonight, category is Yes, Gaga.
Copy !req
311. There can be 100 queens
in the room,
Copy !req
312. but only one is Chic-Li-Fay.
Take a look.
Copy !req
313. - There's my little weirdo.
Copy !req
314. - Fully weirdo.
Copy !req
315. - I feel like this last week,
Copy !req
316. Chic-Li-Fay was fully realized.
Copy !req
317. You were sexy, slutty,
and funny.
Copy !req
318. - You got to do
what you loved to do this week,
Copy !req
319. with, you know, your comedy,
and we are all in it with you,
Copy !req
320. and that's what it's about.
Copy !req
321. - So this is the semifinals,
Copy !req
322. where there are
only four of you left.
Copy !req
323. - The fact that I've made it
to the semifinals,
Copy !req
324. mind-boggling, truly.
Copy !req
325. - So it's Lady Gaga week.
- So good.
Copy !req
326. - And are you excited?
- Yes.
Copy !req
327. - I'm very—I'm nervous,
but I'm excited,
Copy !req
328. like I am every week.
Copy !req
329. I'm very excited
to perform this song.
Copy !req
330. It's definitely
a different vibe.
Copy !req
331. It's more rocker-y
and less hard-core dancing.
Copy !req
332. Again, another challenge,
Copy !req
333. but I've enjoyed
the performances the most
Copy !req
334. where I have
felt a little scared.
Copy !req
335. - This isn't, like,
a fierce, sexy number.
Copy !req
336. This is, like,
a sexy reminiscing number.
Copy !req
337. Like think about you've had
sex with all these people...
Copy !req
338. - I sure have.
- And you're revisiting it all.
Copy !req
339. - Now that we're revealed,
I want to keep pushing
Copy !req
340. to do what scares Kevin
and is different.
Copy !req
341. I'm gonna have to
really show up and show out
Copy !req
342. if I want to make it
to the finale.
Copy !req
343. What would Gaga do?
Copy !req
344. - It's been a long
time since I came around
Copy !req
345. Been a long time,
but I'm back in town
Copy !req
346. This time,
I'm not leaving without you
Copy !req
347. He said sit back down
where you belong
Copy !req
348. In the corner of my bar
with your high heels on
Copy !req
349. Sit back down
on the couch where we
Copy !req
350. Made love the first time
and you said to me
Copy !req
351. There's something,
something about
Copy !req
352. This place
Copy !req
353. Something, something about
Copy !req
354. My cool, Nebraska guy
Copy !req
355. So put your drinks up
Copy !req
356. For Nebraska
Copy !req
357. For Nebraska, Nebraska,
I love you
Copy !req
358. You and I
Copy !req
359. You, you and I
Copy !req
360. Baby, I'd rather die
Copy !req
361. Without you and I
Copy !req
362. It's been a long time
since I came around
Copy !req
363. Been a long time,
but I'm back in town
Copy !req
364. This time,
I'm not leaving without you
Copy !req
365. - Yes.
Yes.
Copy !req
366. - That's exactly how
it's supposed to be done.
Copy !req
367. - Chic-Li-Fay,
now, we're going to critique
Copy !req
368. both your performances
starting with Michelle Visage.
Copy !req
369. - Not only did you look
fantastic,
Copy !req
370. but I thought
you were really funny,
Copy !req
371. and I thought
you really embodied
Copy !req
372. the ridiculousness
of Celine Dion.
Copy !req
373. - This performance,
I think that song
Copy !req
374. has a smokiness
about it and a swagger,
Copy !req
375. and you really need
to tap into that,
Copy !req
376. and I think you did that
more towards the end,
Copy !req
377. but still really,
really top-notch performance.
Copy !req
378. - The number was really fun.
I was a little miffed
Copy !req
379. that your hair got in the way
toward the end.
Copy !req
380. You know, you always want
to face the light,
Copy !req
381. especially when you have
big hair like that.
Copy !req
382. Your Celine Dion
was a lot of fun.
Copy !req
383. It didn't quite
go anywhere with yours,
Copy !req
384. but you were very funny
in all the other parts
Copy !req
385. of your Celine Dion.
Copy !req
386. Give it up for Chic-Li-Fay.
Copy !req
387. - She was shaking
that hair around.
Copy !req
388. I mean, she wasn't afraid
to lose it.
Copy !req
389. You just have to be careful
about the shadow.
Copy !req
390. - May the best
drag queen win
Copy !req
391. - Best drag queen win
Copy !req
392. - Welcome back
to the semifinals
Copy !req
393. of "RuPaul's Secret
Celebrity Drag Race."
Copy !req
394. Tonight, category is Yes, Gaga.
Copy !req
395. Up next, when Thirsty Von Trap
is good, she's very good.
Copy !req
396. But when she's bad,
she's better.
Copy !req
397. Take a look.
Copy !req
398. - Good morning, beautiful.
Copy !req
399. So final four.
How do you feel?
Copy !req
400. - I can't believe
that I made it this far.
Copy !req
401. - I can.
Copy !req
402. - Last week was
just a really emotional week.
Copy !req
403. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
404. To still get the same
critiques every week.
Copy !req
405. I just really did
feel frustrated with myself.
Copy !req
406. - There is a little child
who lives inside of you
Copy !req
407. who wants to say,
"Let it all hang out."
Copy !req
408. And that is where
the breakthrough will happen.
Copy !req
409. - I grew up
with a lot of people
Copy !req
410. making fun of me
for my queerness.
Copy !req
411. And a lot of the things
that hold me back
Copy !req
412. stem directly
from that feeling of, like,
Copy !req
413. I just don't want people
to laugh at me.
Copy !req
414. - The moment where I saw
you break through that
Copy !req
415. was in that lip sync last week.
Copy !req
416. That's when I saw
you forget about all
Copy !req
417. of that judgment shit,
Copy !req
418. and you were, like,
actively engaged,
Copy !req
419. so I want you to think
about activating that.
Copy !req
420. - Yeah.
Copy !req
421. - I feel like it's gonna be
a good week for you
Copy !req
422. because this week
is Gaga week here.
Copy !req
423. - Yes.
- One, two.
Copy !req
424. - I'm doing the Gaga song
Copy !req
425. that, like, really changed
my life as a young, queer kid.
Copy !req
426. - One more time.
Copy !req
427. - It's part of the Gaga era
Copy !req
428. where she was
just weird and outrageous.
Copy !req
429. I think that that's something
I've been missing.
Copy !req
430. Revealing ourselves this week
and drag itself
Copy !req
431. is so far
out of my comfort zone,
Copy !req
432. but now I'm starting to feel
a little bit more confident
Copy !req
433. about trying
to find the balance
Copy !req
434. between Mark and Thirsty.
Copy !req
435. - My favorite part
is when you just let loose.
Copy !req
436. And it feels vulnerable.
- So good.
Copy !req
437. - That's what the judges
want to see.
Copy !req
438. - Okay.
Copy !req
439. Putting my wig on is
Copy !req
440. probably my favorite part
about getting into drag.
Copy !req
441. It just helps me get
into character
Copy !req
442. and I'm just like, I'm a woman.
Copy !req
443. Wigs and Grace
does all of our wigs for us,
Copy !req
444. and they're just incredible,
Copy !req
445. especially for Gaga this week.
Copy !req
446. I haven't won a challenge,
Copy !req
447. and I've been
in the bottom two three times.
Copy !req
448. This is really my last chance
to prove to the judges
Copy !req
449. and myself
that I didn't hit a plateau
Copy !req
450. and kind of leave it
all out on the floor.
Copy !req
451. This is a competition,
and I want to win.
Copy !req
452. Let's do it.
Copy !req
453. Caught in a bad romance
Copy !req
454. Ra-ra-ah-ah-ah
Copy !req
455. Roma-roma-ma
Copy !req
456. Gaga ooh la-la
Copy !req
457. Want your bad romance
Copy !req
458. I want your ugly,
I want you disease
Copy !req
459. I want your everything
as long as it's free
Copy !req
460. I want your love
Copy !req
461. Love, love, love
I want your love
Copy !req
462. I want your love
and I want your revenge
Copy !req
463. You and me
could write a bad romance
Copy !req
464. Caught in a bad romance
Copy !req
465. Walk, walk, fashion, baby
Copy !req
466. Work it,
move that bitch, crazy
Copy !req
467. Walk, walk, fashion, baby
Copy !req
468. Work it,
I'm a free bitch, baby
Copy !req
469. I want your love
and I want your revenge
Copy !req
470. I want your love
Copy !req
471. I don't want to be friends
Copy !req
472. Want your bad romance
Copy !req
473. Caught in a bad romance
Copy !req
474. Want your bad romance
Copy !req
475. I want your love
and all your lover's revenge
Copy !req
476. You and me
could write a bad romance
Copy !req
477. Ra-ra-ra-ah-ah-ah
Copy !req
478. Roma-roma-ma
Copy !req
479. Gaga ooh la-la
Copy !req
480. Want your bad romance
Copy !req
481. - Yes!
Copy !req
482. - Such a good job.
Copy !req
483. - Oh!
She found it.
Copy !req
484. - She found it.
- She found it, yep.
Copy !req
485. - So proud of her.
Copy !req
486. - Thirsty Von Trap, all right,
let's go to the judges.
Copy !req
487. Michelle Visage.
Copy !req
488. - You allowed yourself
to be "ugly."
Copy !req
489. You allowed yourself
to give it to me,
Copy !req
490. and I feel rewarded.
Copy !req
491. Thank you.
Copy !req
492. When I saw you
for your Snatch Game,
Copy !req
493. I was like,
listen, you were so funny
Copy !req
494. and such a good example
of improv,
Copy !req
495. and we were laughing
through the whole thing.
Copy !req
496. I hope you're relishing
in this moment.
Copy !req
497. - I am.
Don't worry.
Copy !req
498. - Good.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
499. - There was a complete
and utter lack of fear
Copy !req
500. and self-consciousness.
Copy !req
501. I know that's always been,
you know, a bit of an issue
Copy !req
502. for you, like, feeling maybe
a little embarrassed,
Copy !req
503. a little self-conscious.
Copy !req
504. Keep doing it, honey.
Copy !req
505. That's exactly
what we want and love.
Copy !req
506. - Thank you.
Copy !req
507. - Week after week we've said
Copy !req
508. push it further,
push it further,
Copy !req
509. allowing yourself
to just be fully enveloped
Copy !req
510. into your performance,
and tonight you did that.
Copy !req
511. You really did.
- Thank you so much, Ru.
Copy !req
512. Thank you.
Copy !req
513. Doing "Bad Romance"
was something—
Copy !req
514. like, it's my favorite
Gaga song.
Copy !req
515. The video changed my life
as a young, gay kid.
Copy !req
516. And you know, from last week
and feeling kind of defeated,
Copy !req
517. I just wanted to channel
all of that frustration
Copy !req
518. that I had towards myself
into this number.
Copy !req
519. - All right, let's hear it
for Thirsty Von Trap.
Copy !req
520. - How pretty?
- Like looking in a mirror.
Copy !req
521. - So young and gorgeous.
Copy !req
522. - May the best
drag queen win
Copy !req
523. - Best drag queen win
Copy !req
524. - Welcome back
to the semifinals
Copy !req
525. of "RuPaul's Secret
Celebrity Drag Race."
Copy !req
526. Tonight, category is Yes, Gaga.
Copy !req
527. All eyes on Chakra 7.
Take a look.
Copy !req
528. - There's my winner.
Copy !req
529. Congratulations.
Copy !req
530. You've really done
an incredible job.
Copy !req
531. - You did my song justice.
Copy !req
532. - Oh!
Copy !req
533. - Keep doing what you're doing.
Keep serving it.
Copy !req
534. So this week is Lady Gaga week.
Are you excited?
Copy !req
535. Do you like Lady Gaga?
- I love Lady Gaga.
Copy !req
536. This week we're doing
a bit of a period piece,
Copy !req
537. and it's very much
a love story.
Copy !req
538. It's very metaphoric.
Copy !req
539. - I want you
to be able to be regal
Copy !req
540. and to also
be a little bit chaotic.
Copy !req
541. - Like, pop back and forth
between the two.
Copy !req
542. After being revealed,
Copy !req
543. I feel like
my wings are spread.
Copy !req
544. With this performance,
this is, like, my art.
Copy !req
545. I'm taking a risk
in not doing something linear
Copy !req
546. in terms of the storyline.
Copy !req
547. It's more of, like,
the feeling of the song,
Copy !req
548. and I hope they love it.
Copy !req
549. - When you're going around
for all the other things,
Copy !req
550. like, you can have kind of,
like, claws
Copy !req
551. 'cause that's very Gaga.
Copy !req
552. - Uh-huh.
Copy !req
553. - That makes it feel more manic
and more crazy.
Copy !req
554. - This week is even harder
than the other weeks before.
Copy !req
555. We're so close to the finale.
Copy !req
556. It's like
you're running a marathon.
Copy !req
557. It's so close,
but there's still so far to go
Copy !req
558. to actually get there.
Copy !req
559. - We are the crowd
Copy !req
560. We're c-coming out
Copy !req
561. Got my flash on,
it's true
Copy !req
562. Need that picture of you,
it's so magical
Copy !req
563. We'd be so fantastical
Copy !req
564. Leather and jeans
Copy !req
565. Garage glamorous
Copy !req
566. Not sure what it means
Copy !req
567. But this photo of us,
it don't have a price
Copy !req
568. Ready
for those flashing lights
Copy !req
569. 'Cause you know
that, baby, I
Copy !req
570. I'm your biggest fan
Copy !req
571. I'll follow you
until you love me
Copy !req
572. Papa-paparazzi
Copy !req
573. Promise I'll be kind
Copy !req
574. But I won't stop
until that boy is mine
Copy !req
575. Baby, you'll be famous
Copy !req
576. Chase you down
until you love me
Copy !req
577. Papa-paparazzi
Copy !req
578. Real good,
we dance in the studio
Copy !req
579. We're plastic,
but we still have fun
Copy !req
580. I'm your biggest fan
Copy !req
581. I'll follow you
until you love me
Copy !req
582. Papa-paparazzi
Copy !req
583. Baby, you'll be famous
Copy !req
584. Chase you down
until you love me
Copy !req
585. Papa-paparazzi
Copy !req
586. - That profile is gorgeous.
Copy !req
587. - Girl, her profile
is stunning.
Copy !req
588. - Chakra 7, you are amazing.
Copy !req
589. - Let's start with Eartha Kitt.
Copy !req
590. When you were talking,
I was like,
Copy !req
591. "Oh, there's no Eartha Kitt
in her."
Copy !req
592. Then you pulled out the pepper
shaker and I was like,
Copy !req
593. "Ooh, she's dirty.
I like that."
Copy !req
594. - And Eartha ended up
being so charming
Copy !req
595. that I was fully sucked in
to the fantasy.
Copy !req
596. - This performance right here,
I loved everything about it.
Copy !req
597. And I thought
doing this kind of, like,
Copy !req
598. "Bridgerton" goes to
Frederick's of Hollywood vibe
Copy !req
599. was, like,
really cool and artsy.
Copy !req
600. And it wasn't expected,
which is so fun.
Copy !req
601. - I had so much fun.
Copy !req
602. - You could see the work
that you put into this number.
Copy !req
603. This week, it showed
on a whole different level.
Copy !req
604. - Oh.
Copy !req
605. - What was your favorite part
of portraying Eartha Kitt?
Copy !req
606. - I loved being on stage
with everybody,
Copy !req
607. and also telling,
like, dirty jokes...
Copy !req
608. - Yeah.
- That I never get to do.
Copy !req
609. - Yeah, but even
around all those dancers,
Copy !req
610. the makeup, and hair team,
Copy !req
611. you guys don't
get naughty back there?
Copy !req
612. - Everybody calls each other
whores and things like that.
Copy !req
613. They're just having really fun.
Copy !req
614. And the other day I asked,
I was like,
Copy !req
615. "I feel really left out.
No one calls me a whore."
Copy !req
616. And they said, "We can't.
You're the momma."
Copy !req
617. And you know,
I have news for them.
Copy !req
618. Mommas can be whores too.
Copy !req
619. - Give it up for Chakra 7.
Copy !req
620. - I just love men, and penises,
Copy !req
621. and long, big yachts.
Copy !req
622. - May the best
drag queen win
Copy !req
623. - Best drag queen win
Copy !req
624. - Welcome back
to the semifinals
Copy !req
625. of "RuPaul's Secret
Celebrity Drag Race."
Copy !req
626. Tonight, category is Yes, Gaga.
Copy !req
627. Next up, she's
on the right track, baby.
Copy !req
628. It's Poppy Love.
Take a look.
Copy !req
629. - Poppy.
- Howdy, darlin'.
Copy !req
630. - Come here.
- Look at you.
Copy !req
631. - Dance with you
Copy !req
632. - You snapped
into this version of Poppy
Copy !req
633. that I don't think
you ever found until last week.
Copy !req
634. - I was being myself,
but through Poppy.
Copy !req
635. After last week's performance,
I feel incredible.
Copy !req
636. I was channeling my battle
with drugs and alcohol.
Copy !req
637. It was a very empowering
performance.
Copy !req
638. - This week...
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
639. - We're doing Lady Gaga.
Copy !req
640. - Yes,
and I am so excited about it.
Copy !req
641. - Go, go, go, go
Copy !req
642. - The song that I'm doing
is very liberating
Copy !req
643. and very freeing.
Copy !req
644. This is me,
and it's that moment
Copy !req
645. to express myself
as both AJ and Poppy.
Copy !req
646. This will be the first time
Copy !req
647. that I don't
cover up my tattoos
Copy !req
648. because that is a part of me.
Copy !req
649. - I think incorporating,
like, a couple blinks
Copy !req
650. because you are that doll
that's come alive.
Copy !req
651. Because it'll
extend the character,
Copy !req
652. which is so golden.
Copy !req
653. I like it.
- I'm feelin' pumped.
Copy !req
654. I have not cinched my butt
Copy !req
655. and twig and berries
to not make it to the finale.
Copy !req
656. I am going all the way, man.
Copy !req
657. Going all the way.
Copy !req
658. - My mama told me
when I was young
Copy !req
659. We're all born superstars
Copy !req
660. She rolled my hair
and put my lipstick on
Copy !req
661. In the glass
of her boudoir
Copy !req
662. There's nothing wrong
with loving who you are
Copy !req
663. She said, "'Cause
he made you perfect, babe"
Copy !req
664. So hold your head up,
girl, and you'll go far
Copy !req
665. Listen to me when I say
Copy !req
666. I'm beautiful in my way
Copy !req
667. 'Cause God makes
no mistakes
Copy !req
668. I'm on the right track,
baby, I was born this way
Copy !req
669. Born this way,
oh, there ain't no other way
Copy !req
670. Baby, I was born this way
Copy !req
671. Right track, baby,
I was born this way
Copy !req
672. Don't be a drag,
just be a queen
Copy !req
673. Whether you're broke
or evergreen
Copy !req
674. You're Black, white, beige,
cholo descent
Copy !req
675. You're Lebanese,
you're Orient
Copy !req
676. Whether
life's disabilities
Copy !req
677. Left you outcast,
bullied, or teased
Copy !req
678. Rejoice and love
yourself today
Copy !req
679. 'Cause, baby,
you were born this way
Copy !req
680. No matter gay,
straight, or bi
Copy !req
681. Lesbian, transgender life
Copy !req
682. I'm on the right track,
baby, I was born to be brave
Copy !req
683. I'm beautiful in my way
Copy !req
684. 'Cause makes no mistakes
Copy !req
685. I'm on the right track,
baby
Copy !req
686. I was born this way, yeah
Copy !req
687. I was born this way, hey
Copy !req
688. I was born this way, hey
Copy !req
689. I'm on the right track,
baby
Copy !req
690. I was born this way, hey
Copy !req
691. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
692. Oh, my gosh, Poppy Love.
Copy !req
693. - All right, Poppy.
Copy !req
694. I've known you when you were
in the Backstreet Boys,
Copy !req
695. and I felt like
that little marionette thing
Copy !req
696. was a little,
"Hi, NSYNC, I see you, bitch."
Copy !req
697. - So that made me laugh.
Copy !req
698. What were you thinking
Copy !req
699. when you kind of came up
with this concept?
Copy !req
700. - The initial idea
was this, like, doll
Copy !req
701. that is basically the last doll
on the shelf that nobody wants.
Copy !req
702. She's perfectly imperfect,
Copy !req
703. but she's beautiful
just the way she is.
Copy !req
704. And that's why it's the first
time I'm showing my tattoos
Copy !req
705. because I'm so proud
to be this person, so...
Copy !req
706. - Let's talk
about the Snatch Game.
Copy !req
707. I actually thought that
you started out really strong,
Copy !req
708. but it lost a little
steam for me, Poppy.
Copy !req
709. Like, I didn't know what
this David Bowie was thinking,
Copy !req
710. what he was all about,
Copy !req
711. and I think that's
what was missing for me.
Copy !req
712. Now, that doesn't mean
it sucked.
Copy !req
713. I—it really was—
- Thank you.
Copy !req
714. - A good job.
Copy !req
715. - This performance tonight,
Copy !req
716. you did everything
a great queen does.
Copy !req
717. You had the great storytelling,
a great look,
Copy !req
718. great dancing,
great lip-synching.
Copy !req
719. - I was literally
telling myself,
Copy !req
720. "Okay, what else can we do?"
Copy !req
721. And we haven't done
the wig reveal.
Copy !req
722. - Thank you.
- And you had said it.
Copy !req
723. I was like, we're gonna give it
a try and see what happens.
Copy !req
724. - So Poppy, you do this thing
where you'll look out,
Copy !req
725. without missing a beat
of the choreography at all,
Copy !req
726. you will acknowledge
the audience.
Copy !req
727. And it makes us feel seen
and comfortable.
Copy !req
728. - Yes.
Copy !req
729. - All right, give it up
for Poppy Love.
Copy !req
730. - May the best
drag queen win
Copy !req
731. - Best drag queen win
Copy !req
732. - Welcome back, queens.
Copy !req
733. Based on your Snatch Game
Copy !req
734. and your Yes, Gaga
performances,
Copy !req
735. I've made some decisions.
Copy !req
736. Thirsty Von Trap,
Copy !req
737. "A Star Is Born."
Copy !req
738. Condragulations,
Copy !req
739. you're the winner
of this week's challenge.
Copy !req
740. - You won.
Copy !req
741. - Whoo, whoo!
Copy !req
742. - And you've made it through
to next week's grand finale.
Copy !req
743. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
744. - Is there anything
you'd like to say?
