RuPaul's Drag Race (2009–…): Season 12, Episode 10 - Superfan Makeover - full transcript

[RuPaul] Previously
on RuPaul's Drag Race.

It's time for America's
first drag queen president.

You vow to make America
what again?

Glitter again.

I would like to "retattle"
the "retittle" of her rebuttal.

What?

Look over there.

-Where?
-[laughing]

A change is on the horizon.

Thank you.

[RuPaul] The Widow Von'Du.



I was craving, like,
a joke punch up in there.

[RuPaul] Jackie Cox.

The Canada thing
became a little tiresome.

[RuPaul] Jaida Essence Hall.

You had the best
off-the-cuff remarks in the debate.

You are the winner
of this week's challenge.

[applause]

Jackie Cox, shantay, you stay.

Widow Von'Du, sashay away.

[dramatic music playing]

Ooh.

[sighs]
Lord.

Widow has just been eliminated,
and it was sad to see her go.

"I hope I made you proud, Kansas City."



-I'm going to miss her crazy ass so much.
-[Gigi] Yeah.

I saw that look in Widow's eyes,
and I could see her in her head.

It was hard seeing her like that.

Widow's inner saboteur
really was her doing-in.

When she did...

It just feels like
it was all for nothing.

...that's basically you signalling
"I want to go home" at that point.

[Jaida] This is a clear lesson to us.

When you have, like, doubts,
or get in that negative mind space,

that we need to, like,
clear away from that

because ultimately, being in that place
is what got Widow in this position.

And with that, I think we bid
Miss Widow Von'Du adieu.

Is that-- Is that French?
Did I speak French?

[laughing]

What I can learn from her
in this situation is just

making sure that your mind
is in the right place because

if it's not, then, baby,
everything else will fall to pieces.

So, Miss Thing,
how are you feeling? You survived.

In that moment of lip-syncing,
wearing this outfit,

I felt more alive
than I've ever felt in this competition.

The silver lining for me is
that I got to perform in this outfit

and represent everyone
who wears a hijab, who looks different.

Coming off this lip-sync,
I have a fire lit up under my ass,

and I have to show the judges that I need
to be here all the way through to the end.

-Some whore, I don't know her name...
-[laughing]

Her name's Jaida, she-- she won
the challenge. Congratulations, bitch.

[cheering]

-You deserved it.
-[Jaida] Child.

So we have two two-time winners,

one three-time winner,

one one-time winner

and Crystal and me.

-No winners.
-Losers.

You know, I can't complain.
It's my third week in the top.

Mama's been on a roll, baby.
Mama's been on a roll.

Chugga chugga chugga chugga...

Heidi and Crystal are on this trajectory,
I've been on this trajectory.

So, I'm the one
who's really at the bottom here.

I need a win.

-[Heidi] Girl.
-[Gigi] I need to escape.

Top six, bitches.

[Gigi] It's top six now.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

It could just be a train coming,
but I can see my way to the top four.

All I gotta do is make it
through two more girls.

There's no way in hell
I'm not claiming a spot.

[tense music playing]

[yelps] My hair.
[screams]

-[Jackie] Heidi.
-I can't have nothing nice.

[car tires screeching]

[upbeat music playing]

-Top six.
-Top six.

[cheering]

Top six, Lord have mercy.

All these bitches thought I was gonna be
one of the first whores out this door,

but, baby, look at me. Top six.

And that was the right
number of fingers, honey.

Hello, hello, hello.

[cheering]

[whispering] Oh, um,
good morning, ladies.

We need to keep our voices low

because for today's maxi challenge,

you're going to be making over
some beautiful women...

[gasps]
I love women.

...that just happen to be
Drag Race superfans.

[muffled gasping]

[shushing]

#DragRace.

-[RuPaul] But here's the thing.
-Oh, my God.

They're right outside that door.

And they have no idea

what's about to happen to them.

Oh, my fuckin' God.

[shushing]

They think they're here just to sit
in the audience for a performance.

-[queen] Ohh.
-Oh, my God.

Are you ready to give them
the Drag Race fantasy of their life?

[cheering quietly]

-Here they come.
-[gasping]

Just act natural, act natural.

[whimsical music playing]

[vocalizing]

Okay, one, two, three...

-[all together] Surprise!
-[screaming]

Oh, my God.

Welcome, ladies.

-Hi.
-Hi.

We're gonna line 'em up.
You can stop there.

[giggling]

Welcome to RuPaul's Drag Race.

Thank you.

[RuPaul] Guess what?

You aren't going to be in the audience.

[gasps]

You're going to receive
head-to-toe drag makeovers.

-Oh, my God.
-[cheering]

From these queens right here.

Oh, my God, amazing.

All right, so let's start
by introducing ourself. What's your name?

My name's Bethany.

I'm Nicole. Hi.

[RuPaul] Hi, Nicole.

-I'm Janet the Planet.
-[cheering] Yes, Janet.

-Dammit, Janet.
-[laughing]

Shea, like Shea Couleé.

[queen] Uh-huh, wow.

Tiffany like the jewelry.

-Ooh.
-Eoww!

-My name is Grace.
-Fantastic.

And I love your suit.

-This old thing?
-[laughing]

-Jaida Essence Hall.
-Yes.

Since you won last week's maxi challenge,

you'll be pairing up
the queens with the superfans.

-[screams]
-Girl.

-Jaida...
-Listen.

-I know where Milwaukee is.
-Make a pair, girl.

Jaida has every opportunity
to give herself a leg up

in this challenge. Ugh.

Okay, Jaida, first,
who do you pick for yourself?

I pick Bethany.

[RuPaul] Bethany.

Oh, my God.

Who do you pick for Crystal?

I pick Grace.

[RuPaul] All right, Grace.

Who do you choose for Sherry Pie?

I choose Janet.

Hooray.

For Heidi, I choose Nicole.

Yes, we 'bout to win, girl.

[laughing and cheering]

[Heidi] Let's do this!

[Jaida] For Gigi I choose
Shea Couleé number two.

-[cheering]
-Come on over.

Which means, of course,
Jackie Cox will be paired with Tiffany.

[cheers and applause]

Queens, to create
a drag family resemblance

with your superfans,

feel free to use makeup
provided by Anastasia Beverly Hills

and materials from the F&S Fabrics wall.

And superfans...

pinch yourself,
because this ain't no dream.

-[laughing]
-This is really happening.

-[Sherry] You ready?
-[mouthing] I can't believe this.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win.

[cheers and applause]

[upbeat music playing]

-Oh. It's okay. I am breathing.
-[laughing]

I'm remembering to breathe.

-I'm so excited.
-Me, too.

Um, but before I bring you into
the House of Methyd--

-Ooh.
-Mm-hmm. I need to get to know you

-a little bit better.
-Okay.

This is probably
the most important question.

-Yes.
-How do you feel about glitter?

Um, I love glitter.

-I work with kindergarteners.
-Okay, good.

For this challenge,

-we're gonna go full-out because--
-Do whatever you want.

With my face, it can go on anyone.

-And I think we're gonna look great.
-Yay.

What got you into Drag Race?

I've always been, like, really colorful,

I've had, like, extreme hair
and a lot of makeup, but, um...

I would get asked
pretty regularly if I was a man,

like, even starting
from the time I was, like, 15.

[Sherry] Oh, my God.

And I-I was really
uncomfortable about it at first,

and then I kind of
discovered the world of drag

and I was like, actually,
I think these are my sisters.

And so I started
going to live drag shows

really early, like when I was 18, 19.

I kind of grew up with the culture,

and then when Drag Race showed up,
I was like, hell yeah, that's my jam.

My drag is like, super,
like, very, like, kind of bougie,

-but I'm a ghetto bitch at heart, so.
-[laughing]

I wanna make sure you feel, like,
the drag fantasy, you know?

Yes, Mama.

It's really fun and, like,
you have a really, really good time.

[Bethany] I will try my best
to walk in heels for you.

-I usually walk in tennis shoes.
-Oh, you usually-- do you--

So, are you good with heels?

I will try. It depends on the height,
and I will do my best.

Okay 'cause they gonna be real high.

The thing is,
it's not about what you can't do,

it's telling yourself you can.

If you fall down and die
in the process, at least you tried.

She's gonna put on some grown lady heels,

and she's gonna
sass it all up and walk it out

'cause, baby, we are here to what? Win.

-There you go, yes.
-[Bethany] Oh, buddy.

-Is it tight?
-It's tight.

-Painful?
-We're gonna see.

-[Bethany] Okay.
-[Jaida] There we go, okay. Yeah.

[Bethany] Oh, Lord.

-[Jaida] How do you feel?
-I feel my feet.

My toes are, like, curled
right underneath my other toes.

[Jaida] It's painful,
but it's like sexy painful.

-Oh, you've got this.
-[laughing]

She's walking like her feet hurt.

[Jackie] Jaida chose a very pretty girl,

but this girl doesn't really have
that Essence Hall attitude.

I can tell that she is
not comfortable in heels.

I'm curious to see
how Jaida's gonna make this girl

feel like a member of her family.

I hope, my God, don't fall, don't die.

This week we are making over
Drag Race superfans.

I know that all these superfans
are so excited.

They are going to be walking
the main stage in full drag.

Like, is that not the ultimate dream
come true for a Drag Race superfan?

Tell me everything
you love about Drag Race.

-So, I've watched it since season 1...
-Good, good girl.

...which was my ju--
I was like 11 or 12 years old.

Plus 10 points for team Cox.

-Yes.
-I'm keeping track for us.

Yeah, so, I don't know,
I think I was just watching it.

I was like, Mom, come watch with me.

And I've just watched it since then.

-So you watch it with your mom?
-Yes.

-So plus another 10 points.
-Yes.

Um, who are some of your
favorite queens so far?

Bianca Del Rio.

Good. Another 10--
look at this, we're winning already.

We're winning. We're winning.

If anyone goes
by my point system, we are winning.

I am giving out Jackie points

because my little daughter is slaying.

-Plus a million points.
-[Tiffany] We're family, it's done.

We're connecting on so many levels.

I've been in the top four times,
and I don't have a challenge win.

So we need to win this.

We're gonna win.

She wants to win so bad,

which is exactly
what I need to feel right now, too.

Oh, yeah, show it off. Yes.

That's it, honey. That's it.

Yes, uh-huh. Okay, okay.

-[Heidi] I have a couple ideas for us.
-Okay.

-One that's a little more disco-y feeling.
-[gasps]

-Do you love disco?
-Do I love disco...

Is an understatement.

-Yes. Yes.
-[laughing]

Describe your style to me.

My style, I've not-- I'm not like a...

-Fully dressed up kind of a person.
-[Heidi] Mm-hmm.

I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of a girl.

Now, when it comes to
showing a little skin... I'm not--

-Not a lot of skin, like, leg.
-Okay.

Are you comfortable with showing leg?

Um... I have not shown
my legs since middle school.

[Heidi] Nicole is a tad bit insecure,

but I can see
that there is a diva in there.

She is ready to break out.

I want you to really exude
confidence and beauty...

-Mm-hmm.
-...in this.

-I used to feel confident.
-Well, what happened?

Bullying.

People suck.

-Oh, trust, they do.
-People suck.

And in this day and age,
everybody has a phone

and everybody can take a picture
of something, make a meme or something.

And it's just-- I feel like--
[sniffles]

[sniffles] Ev--

It just made it really hard.

Aww, come here.

[Heidi whispering] It's okay.

Through Nicole's life,
she's been belittled by so many people.

She's been made fun of, bullied, put down

for being on the heavier side.

She's really gone through a lot.

That really has hurt her self-esteem.

I want her to blossom out
and be proud of who she is.

You can't let
what other people say hold you back.

-Yeah.
-Because all that hardship

that you've gone through,
you have to use that as armor.

-Okay.
-And you want to live your life

-bold and beautiful.
-Yes.

I don't know if that was
copy-written right there.

[laughing]

[Heidi] I want Nicole to really break free

and cut loose on that stage.

-We gonna let these hos beat us or no?
-No, no.

-Well, then, now we talking language.
-No, no.

Now we talking turkey.

-What's up?
-What's up?

Let's look at these lashes now,
let's figure this out.

[Heidi] Okay.

Um... Mainly I'm trying to channel
my inner drag queen

and not let
my inner anxiety, like, take over.

Grace is really similar to me in the fact
that she is positive and outgoing,

but sometimes she gets
a little bit anxious.

Whenever I'm feeling,
yeah, like, overwhelmed,

I just have to, like,
stop thinking about what's happening.

-[Grace] Mm-hmm.
-Breathe for a little bit.

Something I do when I'm really nervous is

I kind of do the Wonder Woman pose.

Put your hands on your hips like this

-and you, like, stick your chest out.
-Yeah.

-And here, yeah.
-Let's do it.

So it's like...

You stand with your feet wide,
and then you take some big deep breaths.

And you just kind of, like,
let the nerves kind of settle,

then it becomes, like, your armor.

So I do that before
every meeting I'm nervous about

-and Wonder Woman's never nervous.
-Right.

-So you become like Wonder Woman.
-[laughing]

-I'm gonna start stealing that...
-Oh, have it all you want.

...and doing it before the runway.

[Jaida] Crystal and Grace are over here
talking about healing powers.

I don't know what the hell
that got to do with this runway challenge.

Child...

[laughing]

Yay.

Hey, squirrel friends.

[all] Hi.

Anybody find a nut?

[Heidi] I got two.

-Well, come on, red earrings.
-Hello.

-Hi, Ru.
-Hi.

-Bethany and Miss Jaida.
-Yes.

-Now, you got to choose who you wanted...
-Yes.

...to make over.
Why did you choose Bethany?

I'm, like, I'm really big into energy

and, like, when I looked over
and I saw Bethany,

I was like, she seems
a little more reserved,

but I bet you there's
a wild side in there somewhere

that needs to be released.

And I was right.

-[laughing]
-Uh-huh, good.

-I know that you go to Drag Con, right?
-[Bethany] Yes.

-And you bring your daughter?
-Yes.

Why? Why is that?

'Cause, you know, you understand.
That's not something that all parents do.

-It should be. Should be.
-It should be.

-Why should it be?
-It is a happy place.

My oldest says, like,
look at all these pretty princesses.

And I get to show her
that she can be whatever she wants to do.

How fabulous for a parent
to open that door for their child.

So have you ever been in drag before?

-No.
-No?

Ever wear false eyelashes?

No? And have you
put people in drag before?

Oh, yes, a lot.

Like, before I came here, I would work as
a makeup artist for a lot of drag queens.

Then, like, travel
to different states for pageants.

Okay.

This is the thing,
this is a winning family.

She knows that I'm a strong mother,
and I like winning.

If she does not win, don't come home.

[laughing]

You already know, when in doubt,
turn it out, baby.

Well, I can't wait.
I'll see you all out there.

-All right. Thank you so much, Ru.
-All right, bye.

Hi, kids.

-Hello.
Hi, Ru.

-Janet the Planet.
-Hello.

-Now, you are six feet tall.
-I am.

-And you've always been that way.
-I have.

What effect did that have
on your personality?

It was intense. I think
I wanted to curl and hide,

but I have a dad
who's really tall, he's like 6'6.

And he would say: "Tall is beautiful,
tall is beautiful. Stand up."

That's right. You're not meant to fit in,
you're meant to stand out.

-And that's what drag does.
-Mm-hmm.

-And you are legally Janet the Planet.
-I am legally Janet the Planet.

I changed my name
more than 20 years ago.

It was really to remind myself
to not take myself too seriously.

Okay, I'm officially in love with you.

Oh, Ru.

[Gigi] I think my competition
in this challenge specifically

is Sherry Pie

because Janet the Planet
seems like a roller coaster of a woman.

She seems like she is ready
to give anything and everything.

Now, Sherry Pie, you've been called out
for being sort of an older lady.

-Yes.
-Is she gonna be an old lady?

Um, not an older woman.

We are hearkening back,
though, to an older time.

-Oh, okay, so the answer is...
-[both at the same time] Yes.

[laughing]

But we're gonna be
young women in an older time.

We're gonna be
old ladies with young spirits.

I cannot wait to see what happens.

-All right, bye, guys.
-[Sherry] Bye.

-Hello, ladies.
-Well, good morning.

Look, you've got, like,
a family resemblance already.

-I know, who's who?
-[RuPaul] How 'bout that?

And you're Shea.

-I am.
-For now.

-[RuPaul] For now?
-For now.

Oh, so there's a drag name coming.

Is she from the good family
or the bad family?

Oh... [laughing]

I can't give away too much,
but I think you're onto something.

[RuPaul] Yeah, I think so.

So, Shea, what does drag mean to you?

To me, I feel like
RuPaul's Drag Race really

creates community for people
that don't have that at home

where they're living, you know,
kind of thing.

And being put into queer spaces
because of RuPaul's Drag Race

has, like, made me
more comfortable with who I am.

I love hearing that because
that's really what this is about,

it's bringing people together
and turning people on to

what makes life so exciting.

Now, Gigi, give me a little assessment
of what you're feeling right now.

Well, I was in the bottom
the last two weeks.

But I'm treating this
as if that never happened.

I am going to work my way back up
to the top this week.

This is gonna be very exciting,
it's actually life-changing.

-All right, I'll see you guys out there.
-Thank you, RuPaul.

Thanks, bye.

There's no way for me to be okay
with being in the bottom again.

I have to be in the top this time.

Heidi Aphrodite.

Hi.

-And Miss Nicole.
-Yes.

Now, I don't know if you heard this story,
but she came here as Heidi N Closet.

-Yes.
-[whispers] Rotten.

-[laughing]
-Rot-- Wrong. Oh.

So every time I tried
to call her something different,

now her name is Heidi Aphrodite.

Which I'm living for. That--
Can I take that one?

Please, if there's
a God in heaven, you will.

Does anything about
this experience scare you at all?

Um, everything.

-[RuPaul] Like what?
-[laughing]

I'm a bigger girl, so these legs
haven't seen the sunlight since '98.

-Just trying to hide.
-[Heidi] Show what you got.

Oh, see, there's a keyword: hide.

This is not about hiding.

-I know. [laughing]
-And you're scared of that?

[Nicole] Oh, just a tad.

Growing up I was
made fun of a lot, bullied horribly.

And so, it's just,
I felt I can just blend in.

Yeah. You don't want to blend in.

You were not born to blend in.
You were born to stand out.

Listen, drag doesn't change who you are,
it actually reveals who you are.

So whatever emerges,
do not be afraid of what comes out.

Drag is just, what my husband and I,
we coined: drag brings joy.

-Drag brings joy.
-Mm-hmm.

-I lo-- write that down.
-Write that down.

#DragBringsJoy.
I want my credit.

Yeah, you better give her the credit.

I always give credit for stuff that I use.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[laughing]

-All right, is this yours?
-This is mine.

-I love this.
-[Heidi] We got to talking,

and it kind of came up
that she loves disco.

-Very much so.
-Oh, my goodness.

What's your-- do you have
a favorite disco song?

-"Enough Is Enough."
-Oh, "Enough Is Enough."

Yes. Donna Summer.

So we're bringing
Donna Summers and Diana Ross.

You see, no, colored people
always say Donna Summers.

-Yes.
-So her name is Donna Summ-er.

-One summer.
-One summer, one motherfuckin' summer.

-One summer.
-Donna Summer.

-Just one, just one.
-[laughing]

All right, listen. I cannot wait.
It's gonna be fun.

-Yes, it is. We gonna turn it out.
-[RuPaul] I cannot wait to see

what emerges with you, girl.

-All righty.
-All right, I'll see you all out there.

Bye.

-Put some Grace in your face.
-[giggles]

-[Crystal] Hey, Ru.
-Oh, my God.

-[RuPaul] Hi, Grace.
-Hi, Ru.

-Hi, El DeBarge.
-Hello.

-How you doing?
-Good.

Now, you guys were paired together,
is it a match made in heaven?

-I think so, yeah.
-I think so.

-We have a lot in common.
-Mm-hmm.

We're both Aries, we love to doodle...

-Yes.
-...we're a little bit nerdy.

-Have you ever had a mullet?
-No mullet, not yet.

Now, are you nervous about this?

Well, I'm nervous 'cause you're here,
and I'm trying to not pass out right now.

[laughing] Yes.

But I'm very honored
to be a part of the House of Methyd.

I'm gonna do whatever I can
to get her her first win.

Okay, that sounds great.

I will see you kids out there, okay?

-Thanks, Ru.
-All right, bye.

Thank you, bye.

Oh, my God.

[RuPaul] Jackie Cox and Miss Tiffany.

-Hi.
-Oh, my, I see the family resemblance.

Here we are.

So, now, you're Jackie Cox.
Have you guys come up with a name?

-Yes.
-What is your drag name?

Li'l Snackie Cox.

[laughing]

Am I wrong?

Oh, that's good.

So, have you plotted out the look,
you know, the family resemblance?

Well, I think we're going with
mother-daughter out of the disco.

Jackie's taking Li'l Snackie
out for the first time

and she's gonna show her, you know,
the Cox way of getting the men-ses.

[RuPaul] Okay.

Why on this one challenge
when I decide to do a disco '70s look

that you also want to decide.

Well, let's push up 10 more years
and join the '70s there, too.

Bitch.

[laughing]
The nerve.

So, Miss Jackie.

You were in the bottom last week.

[sighs]
I was.

How are you gonna make sure
you don't wind up there again?

You know, that lip-sync lit a fire
that is so hot under my ass,

it is burning up and we either gotta
call the doctor or I gotta win.

[laughing]

So I'm ready to just go out there.
Look at this energy.

I mean, this energy
is giving me so much life, like...

We're gonna be in the top.

Okay, good. Fireworks.

-It's coming.
-All right.

All right, ladies, gather round.

Gather round, ladies.

Now, tomorrow on the main stage,

you'll be making your drag family debut.

Oh, and one more thing.

[disappointed sighing]

No Drag Race superfan fantasy
would be complete

without the chance
to lip-sync for your life.

So, queens, prepare your superfan
to go head-to-head and toe-to-toe

on the main stage.

-[gasping]
-[queen] What?

Oh, my God.

So good luck and don't fuck it up.

-[Gigi] No, ma'am.
-[Sherry] Yes, bye.

[excited chatter]

You're gonna do great.

My whole life has been
leading up to this moment.

Oh, my God.

Are you excited?

I am, I'm really nervous and, like...

-[Jaida] Don't-- Don't like--
-...I'm getting a bit weird.

Can you see when the lights are really
going, can you see where you're going?

You don't feel like,
bright and crazy, it's just like

when you go out there and you feel,
like, the warmth of the lights,

-and you just feel like a star.
-[giggles]

And my breasts get higher
and my waist is, like, tinier.

I hope that happens for me.

Right now I am babysitting
other people's kids.

I'm the patron saint of making sure
that the superfans have a good experience.

You're welcome.

Hey, ladies.

Give it up for Li'l Snackie Cox,
she's gonna give you a pop.

-[cheering]
-[woman] Oh, my God.

-Your turn, Jackie.
-Yes, right?

[laughing]

Did she learn it from her mother?

Jackie, what-- Let me see.
Run your split, Jackie.

She just had a child.

I just-- Thank you. I've just had a child.

See, she's an improv artist, too.

So were you last week.

[screaming and laughing]

[Jaida] I'm just kidding, I love you.

I love you, girls, but it's over.
We're winning.

[Jaida] You talking a mean game
with your beautiful daughter. She's cute.

But, fortunately,
it does not matter what Jackie thinks,

It only matters what the judges think.

Mic drop, bow, boom.

Cat, cow.

They're so jealous.

Oh, my God. Mm-mm.

Are you ready?

Oh, my God.

You're on the main stage
at RuPaul's Drag Race.

Tomorrow, the superfans are gonna
have to battle head to head in a lip-sync.

The judges sit right there.

So, it's time to show Li'l Snackie Cox

all little tips and tricks.

Sell it to those
imaginary people out there.

What's really important is,
I want Li'l Snackie Cox to sell attitude.

Roll it.

All right. Come on. Walk, and walk it.

♪ Work it for me, work it for me, me ♪

And dramatic turnaround.

Yes. Yes.

If you don't know the lyrics,
just keep mouthing it like you know it.

You know, like...

♪ French tip, lipstick ♪

[laughing]

When all else fails,
watermelon, watermelon.

Yes, girl, this is what I want.

-Welcome to the main stage.
-Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[squealing and laughing]

[Crystal] When Grace
first stepped onto the main stage,

her eyes light up,

and I can see that tears
are gonna start welling up in her eyes.

[breathes deeply]

-Sorry, it'll--
-Deep breathe, superhero pose.

But we do not have time for that,
we've gotta get this choreo down.

Is there anything specifically about
this lip-sync that you're worried about?

Just making sure--
See, I'm already freaking out.

Don't be shaking.

Again, like I said, my whole life
has led up to this moment.

-I mean, this is your stage.
-Okay.

I get so happy here.
[laughing]

She's just so excited to be here,

it kind of reminded me
that I'm really excited to be here, too,

and I'm really excited
to kill it in this challenge.

-It's our dreams come true.
-[laughing]

-We're on RuPaul's Drag Race.
-[cheering and laughing]

[Heidi] Just live in the moment.

-We want a diva right now.
-Got it.

Okay? That's what we're looking for, okay?

Can we get it from the top, please?

Oh, tha-- oh, oh, okay.

There she is. There's that girl.

She coming for my gig. Oh, Lord.

Keep going, keep going.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know you can do it.
-[laughing]

-Right?
-Yeah.

You can do it, bitch.

Oh, be careful, yeah.

[grunts]

Right now, I can really tell that
you are thinking about the shoes.

I know it's a little painful, but...

Just shake everything off,
you need to just, like, lean forward,

-let all this pressure all out--
-Can I take the shoes off?

If you wanna look good, sometimes
you gotta make a little bit of sacrifice.

If you gotta get rid of the pinky toe...

Baby, you gonna get rid of that pinky toe

and get out there and burn the runway up.

If you come out with this mentality, like,

my feet are gonna hurt, I'm gonna
fall down, I'm not gonna be great...

Then what's gonna happen is
you gonna come out on the stage,

you gonna fall down,
you not gonna be great,

and your feet are gon' hurt.

[Bethany] You don't hurt.

So, let's roll it really quickly.

I have my work cut out for me.

Punch it, punch it.
Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[upbeat music playing]

[laughing]

-Are you ready?
-Let's get sickening.

Good morning, everyone.
It's elimination day,

and it's time for us to get
our superfans into drag.

Tiffany.

[Crystal] I'm feeling really excited

because I know Grace
has no idea what's in store for her.

She does not know
what I look like in drag,

and I'm just glad she's not gonna
be able to look at herself in the mirror

until it's over.

-Perfect.
-[giggling]

Oh, okay, I'm ready. I'm ready.

-Say goodbye to your brows.
-Bye, brow.

Oh, my god, this is great.

-I might just be giggling the whole time.
-[Crystal] Okay, good.

Bye-bye, morning makeup.

-Bye-bye, morning makeup.
-Hello, Jazz makeup.

- And you still look beautiful.
-Oh, thank you.

[Jaida] I'm excited
about doing a makeover challenge.

I'm ready to slap a mug on somebody
and make a transformation come true.

We wanna do, like, colorful highlight.

The biggest challenge, obviously,

is because I'm a Caucasian woman
and she's a black woman.

We gotta highlight, contour, we got
brushes, we got shit, let's go.

-Go.
-[Jaida] Yeah.

How are you feeling today?

I'm really excited.

Yesterday I was, like,
a little bit nervous,

but today I'm-- we're gonna win.

I'm so excited to hear you say that.

[Bethany] So how'd you
meet your boyfriend?

Um, I met him on social media.

Like, we hung out and, like,
oh, he's really a cool person.

I'm like, well, maybe
this can be, like, my friend.

I have been with my boyfriend
for what will now be 12 years.

After that day, we have never,
like, really spent days apart.

I miss him like crazy right now because

when I get stressed out, that's one
of the only people in the whole world

that can, like, calm me down
and keep me in a good space.

Oh, my God,
I don't need emotional.

Like, when things get really hard,

I just imagine, like,
what he would say to me.

[Bethany] Baby...

[Jaida] I have a tendency to, like,
hold back my feelings inside of myself,

and expressing those feeling are
something that I really needed to do

and I don't know, it just felt like
she was a godsend in this moment.

No matter if today I left

or whatever happens, I know, like,

I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna be happy

and I'm gonna have somebody
that they're, like, my cheerleader.

It was, like, perfect for her
to come into my life

at this point in the competition
because I needed that.

[Bethany] You're
the most beautiful person.

Thank you.
Oh, my God, thank you.

-Look at-- Oh, my God.
-We're just crying.

Oh, my God.

Uh, there's no crying in drag.

-Let's stop now.
-[laughing]

[electronic music playing]

[Jackie] Like, how's your family?

Is everyone as supportive of you
loving Drag Race the way your mom is?

My dad doesn't watch with us.

And he's just kind of, like,
you know, it's drag,

and I don't think he fully understands.

'Cause my dad is a lot older than my mom.

-He comes from, like, a different place.
-[Jackie] Yeah.

I think he just doesn't get it.

[Jackie] Even, like, me, I have
a good relationship with my dad.

-Does he support you in drag?
-Yeah.

He's, like, a huge supporter of me.

You know, he's seen me do drag before,

like, he saw the first thing I ever did,
which was a musical in drag.

He was like, this is what you need to do.

-Aww.
-He was like,

you need to do this with your life.

My dad has the complete opposite
perspective from my mom.

He has always been my biggest,
kind of, supporter and cheerleader.

He's a little uptight,
but he's a big supporter.

So, peoples' hearts
and minds are changing.

Clean's a color, we need
a little touch of blush on our face.

-Blush, of course.
-We can't go out pale-skinned.

No, no.
[laughing]

[Heidi] Mama's been
called before on makeup,

so I know that everyone's going to be
with that magnifying glass.

We need a little touch of the red
on the face.

[Heidi]
We need just a touch of pigment.

And then, on top of that,
I want her to look good

'cause this is her first time in drag.

I wanna make sure she feels
beautiful and confident.

A lot of shit is riding on
making sure she looks good.

My daughter's gonna be
the prettiest one at the ball.

Sorry, ladies.

[laughing]

-Heidi and Honey.
-Not sure. Might change something.

Why don't we just walk out
with a question mark?

Question mark,
question mark, question mark.

Heidi, have you
still not come up with a name?

I'm doing yet again what
Mama Ru suggested.

She said,
once you're daughter is painted,

you will know what her name is.

[Sherry] Now, what are you gonna do
if you look at her and you're like, um...

You are...

-[Heidi] I'm what?
-You're blank.

She ain't no blank now.

[Heidi] You see, look,
don't start with my daughter.

-My daughter is a "G." Watch out now.
-[laughing]

-A "G"? A gangster.
-A gangster.

Jaida, they said
they're a "G" for going home.

Ooh.

-Right after you.
-[Jaida] Bitch.

Now that was low-down.

Wasn't that low.

That was low-down.

Jackie is full-on performing
for our guests today.

Unfortunately, she doesn't
perform well in the challenges.

-[queens whooping]
-[queen 1] Oh, my God.

-[screaming]
-[queen 2] The shade of it all.

Don't get me started, 'cause, bitch,
I don't come with praise, don't do it.

I ain't gonna never drag
my daughter through the mud.

-Unless we lose.
-[laughing]

She won't let me back in the house.

[Jaida] And then
it's every woman for herself.

Girls, Janet wants to know which one of us

is the biggest transformation in drag.

-Crystal.
-[Jaida] Yeah.

[laughing]

She-- She's all yellow.

Yeah, it's definitely a choice.

I'm not sure if this is
what Opal was expecting

in drag makeover challenge.

-[Crystal] We're gonna look so fierce.
-[giggles]

I think Grace and I are both
a little bit nerdy and weird,

so I'm really gonna try and play
that up for this challenge.

Ooh, yeah.

My concept is inspired by Bert and Ernie.

I'm imagining what my lips look like
based on what you drew.

-[Crystal] It's a shape for sure.
-[laughing]

I can't wait until she gets to see herself
all done up the Methyd way.

How long have you been doing drag?

[Crystal] For about four years.

Back home, I didn't really
have a place to perform,

so I started my own show.

Yay. That's awesome.

And we didn't have, like,
too many drag queens in our town.

There was, like, you know, people
performing in drag for the first time

and it was, like, at a straight bar,

so a lot of people
had never even seen drag before.

[Grace] That's amazing.

It's fun to, like, be
a totally different person for one night.

-Yeah.
-And then also, everyone gives you money.

[laughing]

[cheerful music playing]

Oh, I feel like a nose surgeon.

Rhinoplasty.

Tiny little strokes of genius
across the nose.

Oh, it came out so good.

You look like a little doll.

-Okay, I can't. Okay.
-[Shae] Okay. Okay. Okay.

One, two, three.

-[gasping]
-[Gigi] Isn't that so cute?

-Are you kidding me?
-[Gigi] So cute.

[Crystal] Gigi's girl looked
like a supermodel before,

and so I'm not too impressed

that Gigi was able to make
a pretty girl into a pretty girl.

Okay, enough about you,
I have to do my own face.

[laughing]

Ha. Yes.

Ha!

Are you ready?

[gasps]
I don't even know who I am.

[screaming]

-Now don't cry, smudge this. Hold on now.
-Okay.

-What's up, baby?
-You did great.

-Ah, You look great.
-Amazing.

Oh, girls, y'all best be ready.

[laughing]

-[Heidi] You look gorgeous.
-Thank you.

Girl, you look better
than I did half this season.

Girl, go in the corner and think
about what you just did.

-[laughing]
-[Heidi] My daughter's in time out.

Disrespect.

Welcome to the main stage

My drag daughter, Michelle Visage.

-Hi, Dad.
-[laughing]

Zaddy.

[laughing]

The hilarious Ross Mathews.

Now, you're looking a little taller today.
Are you sittin' on a secret?

No, not a secret, but I am sitting
on a copy of my new book:

Name Drop.

[laughing]

[Ross] I'll get you a signed copy, Ru.

Okay.
[laughing]

Actual size.

Wow, it's extra thick, isn't it?

[laughing]
Yeah, but so is the book.

[laughing]

And the dazzling Daisy Ridley.

Now, I hear you're
a wiz with a lightsaber?

You know what they say, Ru,
it's all about the grip.

[laughing]

Right you are.

-So excited you're here.
-Thank you.

This week we challenged our queens

to make over beautiful
Drag Race superfans.

And tonight on the runway, category is

"drag family resemblance."

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win!

["Superstar" by RuPaul playing]

[RuPaul] First up, Heidi Aphrodite
and her daughter Honey Almighty.

[Michelle] I think she's got
a few tricks up her sleeves.

[RuPaul] Mm-hmm.

Together at last,
Donna Summer and Diana Ross.

[Heidi] You can't tell us
this ain't 1978, honey.

We is at Studio 54,
twirlin' and swirlin'.

Honey Almighty is shining
so bright on this stage, honey,

and I am so proud to be a mama right now.

[RuPaul] Gorgeous.

Those are the longest
wizard sleeves I've ever seen.

[Michelle] Wizard? I don't even know her.

[weeps]

-[RuPaul] Oh.
-[Michelle] She all right?

[Heidi] They grow up so fast.

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Jackie Cox and Li'l Snackie Cox.

[Michelle] Mm!
Is that like a Little Debbie?

[RuPaul] Uh-huh.

[Jackie] We are
mother and daughter hitting the disco.

We are dancing, we are
having fun at this club.

We are the 1970s version
of Kris and Kim Kardashian.

[Ross] Both of you, snap out of it.

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Romper? I don't even know her.

[laughing]

[Ross ] I've said it once,
I've sad it a hundred times.

-Two Cox is always better than one.
-[Michelle] I agree.

-Bam.
-[Michelle] Burn, baby, burn.

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Jaida Essence Hall
and Jazz Essence Hall.

-Ooh.
-[Michelle] Angelyne.

[laughing]

[Jaida] We are punching it
down the runway

in this red sequin giraffe animal print.

I don't know what type of animal it is,
but, baby, we are turning it.

We look exactly the same.

One of us is a blonde,
one of us is a brunette.

Y'all figure out the rest.

[Daisy] Put a bower on it.

[laughing]

[RuPaul] It's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,

starring Sheryl Lee Ralph
and Judy Landers.

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Crystal Methyd
and Opal Methyd.

[laughing]

[Daisy] These two sure know
how to clown around.

[Michelle] Guys, I think
we're being trolled.

[laughing]

[Michelle] Oh, look,
they got engaged.

[Crystal] I know
that the judges are, like, WTF,

but that is the kind of reaction
I love getting out of people.

We are orange and yellow women,

and we are both
overacessorized per usual.

It's colorful, it's bizarre,

it's... me.

[RuPaul] Michelle,
I think my drugs just kicked in.

-[laughing]
-[Michelle] I think so, too.

-[Ross] Can I have some?
-[laughing]

[RuPaul] Up next,
Sherry Pie and Tara Misu.

-Oh.
-[Michelle] Kiss my grits.

[laughing]

[Sherry] We are '50s diner waitresses

ready to serve up your just desserts,

and, honey, we look so good.

Janet the Planet AKA Tara Misu AKA JTP,

she is transformed.

She is literally
what drag does to people.

She is a superhero.

[laughing]

[Michelle] American gra-feed-me.

[RuPaul] I'll have the lunch special.

[Daisy] Check, please.

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Gigi Goode and Bebe Bad.

[Michelle] Ooh.

[Daisy] What's black and white
and good and bad all over?

[laughing]

[Gigi] We are giving full winter,
Scandinavian girls,

Christmas shopping
with Daddy's credit card.

Bebe Bad is eating every moment up.

She is showing them from head to toe,

she is meant to be in this competition.

[Ross] Slow down, they're in a furry.

[laughing]

[Michelle] You know
what they do for a living?

-[RuPaul] What?
-[Michelle] They're fluffers.

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Welcome, ladies.

You have made it to the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

[giggling]

-I'm excited.
-Yes.

-I'm excited.
-Well, we're excited to have you all here.

It's really exciting for us
to have superfans here,

and you all look fabulous.

I am as thrilled to be here as you all are

'cause I'm a huge fucking fan
of this show,

and this is surreal and fab.

All right, now it's time
for the judges' critiques.

First up, Heidi Aphrodite.

-Heidi Aphrodite?
-Yes.

Is that what we settled on?

It's setting very well right now.

I love it.

-[RuPaul] And this is Honey Almighty.
-[Daisy] Yes.

Ooh, halleloo.

You look stunning, you both look stunning.

Yass, queen. Werk.

[cheering]

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

I want to praise Honey
because I love seeing

the happiness and confidence,
and you felt beautiful.

You got your legs out, girl,
and you are beautiful.

Yes, it's a first.

For the first time?

Well, it's been some years.

It's been like, I wanna say maybe 20 years
since these legs have seen the sun.

-Twenty years?
-Yeah.

Oh, no.

I've not worn a short skirt
since eighth grade.

I just felt it was necessary to blend in.

It was so fun to see you have
so much fun

-on that runway.
-Yes.

-And you did not blend in here.
-Thank you.

Now we're gonna go
to the family resemblance,

and this is where
I'm having the issue here.

I feel like she should have tied in
with some sequins or something

-That is kind of missing.
-Mm-hmm.

Heidi, why didn't you put
your daughter in more sequins?

Umm...

Actually, I ended up
having to borrow this garment

from another queen in the competition.

-Um...
-[RuPaul] Do you know how to sew?

I do. Uh...

'Cause you could have
torn that thing in half

and she wore one half
and you wore the other.

It's true, I could just use the sleeves
as extra garment. Yeah, you're right.

Why didn't you?

I didn't know if I had enough time

to whip up another outfit
in the timeframe.

What did you do with the time?

It was really getting to know her

and coming to find out that she really
loved the disco and the '70s era.

Yeah, but I found that out
in my walkthrough, I mean...

It would've been interesting if you
would've painted a gap on your daughter.

That would've been fun.

-Yeah, we could have.
-[Michelle] There you go.

So it kind of faltered a little
in the family resemblance,

but Honey was a superstar.

Yes.

-Thank you, darling.
-Thank you.

Up next, Jackie Cox.

And this is Li'l Snackie Cox.

-Mm-hmm.
-[laughing]

Li'l Snackie, you look gorg.

-I really enjoyed the routine.
-Thank you.

I wanna buy you in bulk.

All right, let's go.

You're just so cute and you look
like you were living your dream.

I had the best time.

-So now you officially have a drag mother.
-Yes.

[Jackie] She is my little daughter,

but when we go out to the club,
we're just sisters, right?

-[laughing]
-Out in the club, yeah.

Out in the club, yeah.

You're club destroyers, we'll say.

[laughing]

-Club destroyers.
-[Michelle] Yes.

Tonight on the runway,
I think the outfits are cute.

I think they tell a disco storyline.

I like the little routine that you did,
I thought that was cute.

[Ross] You did a good job
of showing the resemblance

in the hair and the makeup, I liked it.

But we're now at the stage
where it's final six.

There are some looks on this runway
that I'm head over heels in love with.

And so, being really good is great.

But being great's how you get to the end.

All right, thank you very much.

Thank you.

-Up next, Jaida Essence Hall.
-Hello.

[RuPaul] And this is
Jazz Essence Hall, hey.

[laughing]

Wow.
[laughing]

You are stunning.

When you came out, I was like...
[gasps] So polished.

Jazz, you could
press charges against Jaida.

[sirens blaring]

'Cause she beat your face.

-Oh, she did.
-[laughing]

And it was amazing.

You've managed to make a clear
family line between the two of you.

With the makeup,
with the shapes of the hair,

you've carried
the fabric through on your sister,

and it is without doubt
that you are members of the same family.

-Did you make the outfits?
-Yeah.

Wow.

'Cause, also, I don't know
who made outfits and who didn't.

It's amazing what you've done
with the costume.

And you, Jazz, looked like
you were having so much fun.

I'm imagining that this is
not a normal look for you.

No. I've never been this glamorous, ever.

I'm living my pin-up fantasy.

She brought it out of me.

I don't think I've ever met anybody

that is a perfectionist
in their head so much,

but has so much heart.

[Jaida] Oh, my God.

[kisses]

The love, just the love.
That's the best thing for me.

-[RuPaul] Thank you.
-Thank you.

Up next, Crystal Methyd.

And this is Opal Methyd.

[laughing]

[Crystal] Werk.

I have a question.
And I think I speak for a lot of people.

What in the fuck am I looking at?

[laughing]

Gorgeous, beauty, fish.

I love it. So much.

The number one piece of advice I ever give
any queen who wants to excel here

is to show us how you do drag.

Mm-hmm.

Show us how you do it.

You just showed the world
that you do drag any way you want to.

Yeah.

-And, Opal?
-Yes.

The fact that you were all in on this,
makes me love you, too.

Oh, oh, my God.

Sorry. I'm not gonna cry.

It's sometimes hard
to recognize the special in you.

For one of the first times in my life,
I wasn't in my head.

I was like, I got this.

I'm living my Muppet,
Troll doll realness tonight.

[laughing]

I just can't stop smiling.

-Because it's painted on your face.
-Yes.

[laughing]

The two of you together
and then two of you separately,

both doing your thing.

It was symbiosis.

Thank you.

And it's a really good time
to be peaking in this competition.

Thank you.

Up next, Sherry Pie.

And this is Tara Misu.

[laughing]

Now, Janet the Planet,
I don't recognize you at all.

How does it make you feel?

Incredible, incredible.

I, like, found a new level
of confidence

and excitement inside me.

I like seeing someone that has
a slightly more dramatic face,

like higher eyebrows and more contour.

-Higher eyebrows?
-[laughing]

On Tara.

You two were hilarious.

You had a storyline
we immediately understood.

The family resemblance
is obviously there.

I totally buy that you guys are sisters.

We work
at the House of Just Desserts.

-Oh, perfect. Perfect.
-Yes.

-Ketchup and mustard.
-[giggling]

It is just so well done.

It's quintessential Sherry Pie,
and it was just really entertaining.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Up next, Gigi Goode.

And this is Bebe Bad.

[laughing]

This look is so mod
and so chic and gorgeous.

I think this is...

an easy way for you
to do it for both of you.

Simple, but executed well.

So you made both of these?

I partnered with a designer,

and me and my mom
came up with a concept together.

The performances were fab.

So the looks were great,
but the performances from both of you

really, really liked, got straightaway.

[Ross] That was a really fun dynamic
between the two of you.

[giggles]

-You're competitive sisters.
-Mm-hmm.

It just all worked for you, Gigi.

So, Shea, I don't recognize you
at all inside there.

Do you recognize yourself?

Like, my alter ego, yes.

-[laughing]
-It came out.

How bad are you?

As bad as you want.

[laughing]

You know, kudos to Jaida
for pairing everyone up

because everyone has been so perfect.
-[Gigi] Yeah

Oh, my gosh, we all lucked out so well.

[applause]

Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.

Now, before you go...

there's one more thing I wanna see.

[tense music playing]

Superfans, assume the position.

Two superfans stand before me.

Ladies, this is your
last chance to impress me.

[giggles and applause]

The time has come...

for you to lip-sync...

for your...

[echoing] life.

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

-[queen] Oh, my God.
-[laughing]

[queen] Yes.

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Shantay, you all stay.

[applause]

To slay another day.

Now, while you
and your superfan untuck backstage,

the judges and I will deliberate.

Now, just between us superfans...

[giggles]

What do you think?

Heidi Aphrodite and Honey Almighty.

Now, Honey looked fantastic.

Her makeup looked better
than Heidi's makeup.

But there was no family resemblance.

Yeah, it just,
in comparison to the other queens,

it was a touch lackluster.

When she says it, it doesn't sound as bad.

No.
[laughing]

Jackie Cox and Li'l Snackie Cox.

[giggles]

-Just felt like there was no spark.
-Mm-hmm.

[Ross] There was family resemblance there,
they had a routine they did. It was fine.

I just don't think Jackie was as good
as her fellow competitors this week.

Yeah.

Jaida Essence Hall and Jazz.

Jaida did such an incredible job.

She is going the extra mile.

[Michelle] The plastic surgery
makeup, I'm so jealous.

Mm-hmm.

It was just... breathtaking.

And the fact that she made those dresses,

I found that so impressive.

Beautiful. Loved it.

Crystal Methyd and Opal Methyd.

This look to me is just so exciting

because it took the rule book
and threw it away.

-Might wanna add, it was very fashionable.
-Yes.

Going into the lip-sync,
which was so joyous anyway,

she used everything.
She was using her hair. All of it.

Tonight, I think this was her
stepping into her own in this competition.

[RuPaul] Sherry Pie and Tara Misu.

They delivered such
an entertaining performance.

They were funny,
they were taking our orders.

I bought every single thing
they had on that menu.

[Ross] Sherry is so smart about
how she approaches these challenges.

-It's thought out completely.
-Yeah.

Gigi Goode and Bebe Bad.

-The idea of Bebe Bad and Gigi Goode...
-Mm-hmm.

It's so funny and so smart.

I feel, though, perhaps controversially,

I didn't feel that wowed. Um...

-It was really simple.
-Yeah.

It was, but it was also very, very chic.

[Michelle] Yes, but this was a kind of
easy way out, fashion-wise.

Next to these monsters,
it just seemed a little simple.

Easy and Simple are my new nicknames
for Michelle and Ross.

-Oh, yes.
-I'm easy, you're simple.

-[laughing]
-Honey, we all knew you were easy.

Thank you, Ross.

Silence. I've made my decision.

Bring back our girls.

[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

[tense music playing]

-Oh, my God.
-I know.

Gigi Goode.

What's black and white and safe all over?

You.

You may step to the back of the stage.

Thank you.

Crystal Methyd, tonight you and Opal
clowned the house down.

You are safe.

Thank you.

-[sighs]
-[cheering]

[RuPaul] Jackie Cox.

Everybody loves a little snacky,

but you left us hungry for more.

I'm sorry, my dear.

It's a hard Cox life,

and you are up for elimination.

It's okay, she got this.
It's gonna be all right.

Sherry Pie.

Tonight you and Tara Misu
served up a Ru plate special.

And we ate it up.

-You're safe.
-Thank you.

Yay.

[RuPaul] Jaida Essence Hall.

Tonight, you and your sister

were jazz hot, baby.

Jaida...

Con-drag-ulations, you're the winner
of this week's challenge.

[cheers and applause]

Thank you so much. Oh, my God.

You've won a cash prize of $5,000.

And, Jazz, you've won
a $5,000 gift certificate

from the iconic Betsey Johnson,

a longtime drag queen lover and ally.

And the prize comes
with your own personal shopper.

[woman] Aww...

Ooh.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is my third win, so now
these bitches have eyes on me,

and they're on notice.
They see what's going on.

[RuPaul] Heidi Aphrodite.

This week you gave Honey a boost,

but your family resemblance was a bust.

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

You know, I am not new
to the lip-sync game.

I'm about to send Jackie packing
'cause I'm not going home,

I refuse, I'm sorry.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is
your last chance to impress me

and save yourself

from elimination.

The time has come...

[thunder rumbling]

...to lip-sync...

[echoing] for your life.

I'm feeling ready.

I know this song.

I know what I'm gonna do with it,

and I can't wait to show them.

Good luck...

and don't fuck it up.

That is the energy

Jackie, shantay, you stay.

No one is going home tonight.

Ru gives me that second chance,

and that validation,

it's overwhelming.

Thank you so much for believing in me.

It's sad to say that sometimes I'm okay
with feeling like I'm not enough.

Now I'm feeling like I can do anything,

and that feels incredible.

Con-drag-ulations, ladies.

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

how in the hell
you gonna love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

[all] Amen.
