- NOW, THIS WEEK,
IN THE MOST AMBITIOUS CHALLENGE
IN "DRAG RACE" HISTORY,
YOU'LL BE PERFORMING LIVE
IN THE ORIGINAL
PRODUCTION OF...

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
- I LOVE MUSICAL THEATER.
IT'S JUST SO CAMPY
AND CHEESY AND--ME!
- NOW, YOU'LL BE WORKING
IN TWO GROUPS.
BENDELACREME AND ADORE DELANO,
YOU GET TO CHOOSE
YOUR CASTMATES

LADIES, I EXPECT PERFORMANCES
WORTHY OF THE GREAT WHITE WAY.
BUT THEN AGAIN,
WHY IT GOTTA BE WHITE?
[LAUGHTER]
THEATER PEOPLE,
START YOUR ENGINES,
AND MAY THE BEST WOMAN WIN.
- ALL RIGHT, LADIES,

MY GOAL AS A LEADER
IS TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO UTILIZE
EVERYONE IN THE GROUP BEST.
INGENUE QUEEN, PENNY.
WE'RE JUST ALL ASSUMING
YOU'RE PENNY, RIGHT?
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT--
[LAUGHS]
- I'M HAPPY TO PLAY PENNY.
- COURTNEY'S THE OBVIOUS PENNY.
THAT'S JUST WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
PAGEANT QUEENS, COMEDY QUEENS.
I JUST KEEP THINKING
IT WOULD BE HYSTERICAL
TO SEE YOU PLAY
A PAGEANT QUEEN.
- NO, THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
- TRINITY, DOES BEING
A PAGEANT QUEEN
OR A COMEDY QUEEN SEEM
INTERESTING TO YOU?
- NO, I DON'T WANT
TO BE THE FUCK-UP,
SO I'D RATHER JUST
KIND OF PLAY IT SAFE.
- YOU PREFER TO BE
A PAGEANT QUEEN?
- YEAH.
- YEAH, OKAY.
- TRINITY,
SHE ALWAYS SEEMS OVER IT,
NOTHING EXCITES HER.
- DO WE WANT TO HAVE
A SING-THROUGH?
- YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

BAD PENNY IS CLEARLY ME.

YOU'RE BUTCHERING THE LYRICS.
- I KNOW THAT ALL THOSE WORDS,
THAT'S A LOT.
YOU HAVE TO GET
ALL THAT DOWN,

IN YOUR EYES.

- SHOWGIRLS,
YOUR ACT IS GOING TO BE
THE SINK-OR-SWIM THING
OF THIS WHOLE TEAM.
- THIS IS A HUGE CHALLENGE.
LIKE, ONE PERSON'S OFF,
WE ALL FALL LIKE DOMINOES.
- TRINITY IS DEFINITELY
NOT 100% HERE,
IS SHE FRUSTRATED SEXUALLY?
I HAVE NO IDEA,
BUT GUESS WHAT?
WE HAVE ABOUT THIS MUCH TIME
AND ABOUT THIS MUCH WORK TO DO,
SO, BITCH, GET INTO IT.
- ALL RIGHT, FROM THE TOP.
- TURN AROUND.
- NO, YOU'RE COMING
WITH ME, MISSY.
BOOM.
- I'M YOU.
DO YOU SEE THE DIFFICULTNESS
IN DOING IT BACKWARDS
AND THEN TRYING TO TURN AROUND
AT THE SAME TIME?
IT'S REALLY, REALLY FAST.
- SHE HAS TO BE HERE.
- IT TOOK YOU TOO LONG TO MOVE,
I'M TELLING YOU,
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HIT IT.
YOU HAVE TO TRY TO--
- CONSIDERING THIS HAS BEEN
YOUR PROBLEM AREA,
TAKE A SECOND AND CALM DOWN.
I WALK TO HER,
AND I SAY "TURN AROUND."
I WOULD SUGGEST YOU FIGURE OUT
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
PRIOR TO TELLING ME
WHAT I'M NOT DOING RIGHT.
- YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT,
BIANCA,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T DO
ANYTHING WRONG.
- I DIDN'T SAY THAT, BITCH.
- I APOLOGIZE THAT I OPENED
MY MOUTH, AND THAT'S WHY
I DON'T SAY ANYTHING
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
- COVER GIRL,
PUT THAT BASS IN YOUR WALK,
COME ON!
- COME ON, GIRL.
- TODAY, ON THE MAIN STAGE,
OUR RUNWAY LOOK
IS TONY AWARDS GLAMOUR,
AND WE'RE PERFORMING
IN "SHADE, THE RUSICAL."
WE HAVE TO SING LIVE,
ALTHOUGH YOU'VE SEEN
SOME OF THE PEOPLE
IN MY GROUP.
- YOU READY TO SERVE
SOME PAGEANT REALNESS OUT THERE?
- YES, GOD, BITCH, UGH.
- OKAY?
- I'M GOING TO GET ME
A TONY TONIGHT.
- WHAT'S A TONY?
- SO, YOU WERE ON THE IDOL
OF THE AMERICAN.
- YES.
AND YOU WERE ON THE IDOL
OF THE AUSTRALIAN.
- I WAS.
I WENT ALONG
THE FIRST DAY AS A BOY
AND I GOT KNOCKED BACK,
AND SO THEN I WENT BACK
THE NEXT DAY IN DRAG,
AND I MADE IT THROUGH
TO THE FINALS.
- HOLY CRAP.
- I WAS THE FIRST OUT GAY PERSON
AND THE FIRST PERSON IN DRAG
TO BE ON ANY IDOL FRANCHISE
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
- I WISH I COULD'VE DID THAT.
- YEAH, BUT ADORE,
DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU WERE SORT OF
THE AMERICAN COUNTERPART OF,
LIKE, THE FIRST REAL SORT OF
GAY PERSON ON "AMERICAN IDOL?"
- YEAH, BUT I WAS
KIND OF ADVISED
TO JUST NOT BE SO OUT THERE.
- SO, YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO, LIKE,
KIND OF KEEP YOURSELF--
- TONE IT DOWN A LITTLE.
- YEAH.
- RIGHT.
- SOME PEOPLE WEREN'T LIKING IT.
- MY MOM TOLD ME TO BUTCH IT UP
BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT THEM
MAKING FUN OF ME.
SHE SHOULD'VE JUST LET ME
GO OUT THERE WITH PINK HAIR.
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN COOL.
- GIA, WHAT WERE SOME
OF YOUR TALENTS AS A CHILD
BESIDES TUCKING YOUR WEENIE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
[LAUGHTER]
- I ACTUALLY WAS DOING
THE DANCE FORM OF KABUKI THEATER
SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD.
IN JAPAN, KABUKI THEATER
IS ALL MEN,
BUT WE WOULDN'T, LIKE, GET
TUCKED AND, LIKE, PUT BOOBS ON
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
IN MY CULTURE,
IT'S NOT A GAY THING,
SO EVEN STRAIGHT MEN DO IT.
IT'S AN ART.
THIS IS LIKE WHEN I WOULD DO,
LIKE, THE BOY ROLES.
AND THIS IS ONE I WOULD DO
THE FISH ROLE.
- NO WAY!
- LOOKING GOOD.
- WITH MY THEATER BACKGROUND
IN KABUKI,
I DEFINITELY HAVE
A GOOD SENSE
OF STAGE PRESENCE
AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
I'M REALLY HOPING
FOR THE BEST,
BECAUSE SOME OF US
AIN'T SINGERS, WE DANCERS.

THIS WEEK,
YOU COMPETED IN TEAMS,
BUT TONIGHT, YOU'LL BE JUDGED
AS INDIVIDUALS.
BIANCA DEL RIO,
MILK,
LAGANJA ESTRANJA,
GIA GUNN,
JOSLYN FOX...
YOU ARE ALL SAFE.
YOU MAY LEAVE THE STAGE.
LADIES, YOU REPRESENT
THE BEST AND THE WORST
OF THE WEEK.
IT'S TIME
FOR THE JUDGES' REVIEWS,
STARTING WITH
TRINITY K. BONET.
- YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT.
I LIKE THE WAY THE GOWN
ACCENTUATES YOUR HIPLINE.
- I DID LIKE YOUR CHARACTER
IN THE MUSICAL,
BUT I'M NOT ABLE
TO UNDERSTAND YOU.
IT'S KIND OF
A MUSH-MOUTH THING.
WE HEARD BIANCA,
AND THEN WE'D LOSE
YOUR LINE.
- IT'S ALL
A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
- YES, YES, BUT YOU ARE
IN THE OLYMPICS OF DRAG.
- BUT EVERY STAR WAS CRAP
BEFORE THEY BECAME THE SHIT.
- LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
PUT A CORK IN IT.
LITERALLY,
GET A CORK,
PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH,
SPEAK WITH THAT CORK
IN THE MOUTH.
IT WILL DO WONDERS
FOR ENUNCIATION.
- NEXT UP,
DARIENNE LAKE.
- LOOK AT YOU ALL PRETTY
IN YOUR POND SCUM GREEN.
- [LAUGHS]
OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
- AS FAR AS
YOUR COMEDY QUEEN GOES,
YOU GOT A LITTLE LOST.
- IT IS A LITTLE HARD
TO KIND OF CONTINUE ON
WITH A FIRE SIREN
BEING SQUASHED IN YOUR EAR.
- THAT'S GIA
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT?
- OH, YEAH, YEAH.
- WELL, WHY DO YOU THINK
SHE'S SAFE AND YOU'RE HERE?
- 'CAUSE I THINK
I'M ONE OF THE TOP 3?
- ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON.
BENDELACREME.
- LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE WAY YOU LOOK.
I BELIEVE THAT LESS
IS ALWAYS BEST.
LOOK IN THE MIRROR,
TAKE A LITTLE BIT
OF SOMETHING AWAY.
- OH!
- THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
NOW, YOU ARE WORKING IT.
- I DID LIKE YOUR CHARACTER
IN THE MUSICAL,
BUT I FELT THAT
YOU COULD'VE TAKEN IT FURTHER.
- I LOVED YOUR PORTRAYAL
OF THE VILLAIN,
LOVED YOUR EVIL
BETTIE PAGE LOOK,
AND YOUR VOICE, TOO.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- UP NEXT, COURTNEY ACT.
- THE ILLUSION
IS WORKING FOR ME.
A-MA-ZING.
AND YOU CAN REALLY SING.
FABULOUS.
- YOU ARE A STAR.
- THANK YOU.
- BUT I WAS ACTUALLY
REALLY NERVOUS IN REHEARSALS,
BECAUSE YOU WERE
MISSING CUES.
- I WAS MUFFLING TWO WORDS,
BUT I NAILED IT ON THE NIGHT.
- NEXT UP, ADORE DELANO.
- TONIGHT, THE DRESS,
FOR ME, COULD BE LONGER.
IT COULD GO TO THE FLOOR.
- WHY IS YOUR WAIST
NOT CINCHED
WHEN I JUST TALKED TO YOU
ABOUT THIS?
- BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE, LIKE,
A "CINCHER" CINCHER, ONLY--
- BORROW A WAIST CINCHER
AND GIVE ME THE SILHOUETTE
I NEED FROM YOU,
ADORE DELANO.
- I'M A BETTER DRAG QUEEN
THAN I'M COMING OFF, I SWEAR.
- [LAUGHS]
- I LOVED YOUR VOICE.
I THOUGHT THAT
YOU COULD COMPETE
IN "AMERICAN IDOL."
- I DID.
- SEE THAT?
I GOT THAT IMMEDIATELY.
- PARTY.
- HA!
PARTY.
[LAUGHTER]
- NEXT UP, APRIL CARRION.
- WELL, YOUR FACE
IS ALWAYS BEAT FOR THE GODS,
BUT I THINK YOUR SHADING'S
A LITTLE DARK
TOWARDS YOUR HAIRLINE.
- IT'S LIKE YOU HAVE
A BEARD ON YOUR FOREHEAD.
- APRIL, I KNOW YOU TRIED
REALLY, REALLY HARD
ON THIS CHALLENGE,
BUT YOU WERE WAY OFF.
- BEING THE BIG GIRL,
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SIZE.
IT'S MORE OF AN ATTITUDE,
AND YOU DIDN'T DELIVER
THE ATTITUDE.
YOU PUT SOME PADDING IN
AND THOUGHT
THAT IT WOULD TRANSLATE,
AND IT DIDN'T.
- THANK YOU, LADIES.
WHILE YOU UNTUCK
IN THE FORMDECOR LOUNGE,
THE JUDGES AND I
WILL DELIBERATE.
ALL RIGHT, NOW, JUST BETWEEN US,
DREAM GIRLS.
- HMM.
- LET'S TALK OFF-BROADWAY.
LET'S START WITH
TRINITY K. BONET.
- DICTION, DICTION, I WANT
TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!
- NOW, WHEN TRINITY'S IN DRAG,
SHE WEARS TEMPORARY TEETH.
WE CALL THEM FLIPPERS
IN THE BUSINESS.
I'M WONDERING,
COULD THAT BE THE REASON
SHE'S UNABLE
TO PRONOUNCE HER LYRICS?
- FLIPPER OR NO FLIPPER,
YOU'VE GOT TO WORK
WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
- THAT'S TRUE.
- YES.
- AND BE OPEN
TO LISTENING TO SOMEBODY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET
ALL "UGH" FACE.
AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME
FOR THAT.
[LAUGHTER]
- DARIENNE LAKE.
- SHE SEEMED TO GET
A LITTLE BIT
LOST IN THE SAUCE,
WHEREAS GIA,
FOGHORN OR NOT,
WAS GIVING IT ALL
WITH EASE.
DARIENNE DISAPPEARED
FOR ME.
- THE THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER,
COURTNEY ACT.
- I INSTANTLY WAS TRANSPORTED
INTO A BROADWAY HOUSE.
- YES.
- AND I TOTALLY BOUGHT IT
FROM HEAD TO TOE,
BUT THERE WERE SOME CLUNKERS
THAT SHE HIT.
- I DIDN'T REALLY MIND
ANY OF THE NOTES
THAT MIGHT'VE BEEN
A LITTLE OFF.
SHE REALLY NAILED
THIS PERFORMANCE.
- I LOVED THAT
FRESH-FROM-KANSAS,
FRESH-OFF-THE-BUS
LOOK OF HERS.
SHE WAS FABULOUS.
- BENDELACREME.
- KNEW THE CHOREOGRAPHY,
KNEW ALL THE WORDS,
LOOKED GOOD DOING IT.
- I REALLY LOVE
HER BODY LANGUAGE, AS WELL.
- YOU CAN TELL
BY LOOKING AT HER,
THIS IS HER SHTICK.
- YEAH.
-BUT SHE ONLY TOOK IT
HALFWAY TO TONI BRAXTON.
- [LAUGHS]
- SHE DIDN'T TAKE IT
ALL THE WAY.
- ADORE DELANO.
- ADORE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE,
BUT SHE CAN BE A LITTLE SLOPPY.
- ADORE WAS THE MVP FOR ME.
HER VOICE AND THE TONES
THAT WERE COMING OUT
OF HER MOUTH
MADE ME LOOK AT HER
IN A WHOLE OTHER LIGHT
OF BEING LIKE,
WOW, THIS IS A REAL TALENT.
- LAST BUT NOT LEAST,
APRIL CARRION.
- SHE'S BEAUTIFUL,
AND SHE TRIED REALLY HARD.
UNFORTUNATELY, SHE DID NOT
EMBODY THE BIG GIRL ROLE.
- WELL, THAT'S THE STANDOUT
ROLE OF THAT TRIO.
- YES, IT IS.
- AND IT HAS TO DELIVER.
THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.
- SILENCE,
I'VE MADE MY DECISION,
GUYS AND DOLLS.
NOW, BRING BACK MY GIRLS.
[LAUGHS]
- [LAUGHS]
WELCOME BACK, LADIES.
I'VE MADE SOME DECISIONS.

TWO VIP PACKAGES

IT'S REALLY, REALLY FAST.
- SHE HAS TO BE HERE.
- IT TOOK YOU TOO LONG TO MOVE,
I'M TELLING YOU,
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HIT IT.
YOU HAVE TO TRY TO--
- CONSIDERING THIS HAS BEEN
YOUR PROBLEM AREA,
TAKE A SECOND AND CALM DOWN.
I WALK TO HER,
AND I SAY "TURN AROUND."
I WOULD SUGGEST YOU FIGURE OUT
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
PRIOR TO TELLING ME
WHAT I'M NOT DOING RIGHT.
- YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT,
BIANCA,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T DO
ANYTHING WRONG.
- I DIDN'T SAY THAT, BITCH.
- I APOLOGIZE THAT I OPENED
MY MOUTH, AND THAT'S WHY
I DON'T SAY ANYTHING
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
- COVER GIRL,
PUT THAT BASS IN YOUR WALK,
COME ON!
- COME ON, GIRL.
- TODAY, ON THE MAIN STAGE,
OUR RUNWAY LOOK
IS TONY AWARDS GLAMOUR,
AND WE'RE PERFORMING
IN "SHADE, THE RUSICAL."
WE HAVE TO SING LIVE,
ALTHOUGH YOU'VE SEEN
SOME OF THE PEOPLE
IN MY GROUP.
- YOU READY TO SERVE
SOME PAGEANT REALNESS OUT THERE?
- YES, GOD, BITCH, UGH.
- OKAY?
- I'M GOING TO GET ME
A TONY TONIGHT.
- WHAT'S A TONY?
- SO, YOU WERE ON THE IDOL
OF THE AMERICAN.
- YES.
AND YOU WERE ON THE IDOL
OF THE AUSTRALIAN.
- I WAS.
I WENT ALONG
THE FIRST DAY AS A BOY
AND I GOT KNOCKED BACK,
AND SO THEN I WENT BACK
THE NEXT DAY IN DRAG,
AND I MADE IT THROUGH
TO THE FINALS.
- HOLY CRAP.
- I WAS THE FIRST OUT GAY PERSON
AND THE FIRST PERSON IN DRAG
TO BE ON ANY IDOL FRANCHISE
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
- I WISH I COULD'VE DID THAT.
- YEAH, BUT ADORE,
DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU WERE SORT OF
THE AMERICAN COUNTERPART OF,
LIKE, THE FIRST REAL SORT OF
GAY PERSON ON "AMERICAN IDOL?"
- YEAH, BUT I WAS
KIND OF ADVISED
TO JUST NOT BE SO OUT THERE.
- SO, YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO, LIKE,
KIND OF KEEP YOURSELF--
- TONE IT DOWN A LITTLE.
- YEAH.
- RIGHT.
- SOME PEOPLE WEREN'T LIKING IT.
- MY MOM TOLD ME TO BUTCH IT UP
BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT THEM
MAKING FUN OF ME.
SHE SHOULD'VE JUST LET ME
GO OUT THERE WITH PINK HAIR.
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN COOL.
- GIA, WHAT WERE SOME
OF YOUR TALENTS AS A CHILD
BESIDES TUCKING YOUR WEENIE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
[LAUGHTER]
- I ACTUALLY WAS DOING
THE DANCE FORM OF KABUKI THEATER
SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD.
IN JAPAN, KABUKI THEATER
IS ALL MEN,
BUT WE WOULDN'T, LIKE, GET
TUCKED AND, LIKE, PUT BOOBS ON
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
IN MY CULTURE,
IT'S NOT A GAY THING,
SO EVEN STRAIGHT MEN DO IT.
IT'S AN ART.
THIS IS LIKE WHEN I WOULD DO,
LIKE, THE BOY ROLES.
AND THIS IS ONE I WOULD DO
THE FISH ROLE.
- NO WAY!
- LOOKING GOOD.
- WITH MY THEATER BACKGROUND
IN KABUKI,
I DEFINITELY HAVE
A GOOD SENSE
OF STAGE PRESENCE
AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
I'M REALLY HOPING
FOR THE BEST,
BECAUSE SOME OF US
AIN'T SINGERS, WE DANCERS.

JOSLYN FOX...
YOU ARE ALL SAFE.
YOU MAY LEAVE THE STAGE.
LADIES, YOU REPRESENT
THE BEST AND THE WORST
OF THE WEEK.
IT'S TIME
FOR THE JUDGES' REVIEWS,
STARTING WITH
TRINITY K. BONET.
- YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT.
I LIKE THE WAY THE GOWN
ACCENTUATES YOUR HIPLINE.
- I DID LIKE YOUR CHARACTER
IN THE MUSICAL,
BUT I'M NOT ABLE
TO UNDERSTAND YOU.
IT'S KIND OF
A MUSH-MOUTH THING.
WE HEARD BIANCA,
AND THEN WE'D LOSE
YOUR LINE.
- IT'S ALL
A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
- YES, YES, BUT YOU ARE
IN THE OLYMPICS OF DRAG.
- BUT EVERY STAR WAS CRAP
BEFORE THEY BECAME THE SHIT.
- LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
PUT A CORK IN IT.
LITERALLY,
GET A CORK,
PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH,
SPEAK WITH THAT CORK
IN THE MOUTH.
IT WILL DO WONDERS
FOR ENUNCIATION.
- NEXT UP,
DARIENNE LAKE.
- LOOK AT YOU ALL PRETTY
IN YOUR POND SCUM GREEN.
- [LAUGHS]
OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
- AS FAR AS
YOUR COMEDY QUEEN GOES,
YOU GOT A LITTLE LOST.
- IT IS A LITTLE HARD
TO KIND OF CONTINUE ON
WITH A FIRE SIREN
BEING SQUASHED IN YOUR EAR.
- THAT'S GIA
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT?
- OH, YEAH, YEAH.
- WELL, WHY DO YOU THINK
SHE'S SAFE AND YOU'RE HERE?
- 'CAUSE I THINK
I'M ONE OF THE TOP 3?
- ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON.
BENDELACREME.
- LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE WAY YOU LOOK.
I BELIEVE THAT LESS
IS ALWAYS BEST.
LOOK IN THE MIRROR,
TAKE A LITTLE BIT
OF SOMETHING AWAY.
- OH!
- THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
NOW, YOU ARE WORKING IT.
- I DID LIKE YOUR CHARACTER
IN THE MUSICAL,
BUT I FELT THAT
YOU COULD'VE TAKEN IT FURTHER.
- I LOVED YOUR PORTRAYAL
OF THE VILLAIN,
LOVED YOUR EVIL
BETTIE PAGE LOOK,
AND YOUR VOICE, TOO.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- UP NEXT, COURTNEY ACT.
- THE ILLUSION
IS WORKING FOR ME.
A-MA-ZING.
AND YOU CAN REALLY SING.
FABULOUS.
- YOU ARE A STAR.
- THANK YOU.
- BUT I WAS ACTUALLY
REALLY NERVOUS IN REHEARSALS,
BECAUSE YOU WERE
MISSING CUES.
- I WAS MUFFLING TWO WORDS,
BUT I NAILED IT ON THE NIGHT.
- NEXT UP, ADORE DELANO.
- TONIGHT, THE DRESS,
FOR ME, COULD BE LONGER.
IT COULD GO TO THE FLOOR.
- WHY IS YOUR WAIST
NOT CINCHED
WHEN I JUST TALKED TO YOU
ABOUT THIS?
- BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE, LIKE,
A "CINCHER" CINCHER, ONLY--
- BORROW A WAIST CINCHER
AND GIVE ME THE SILHOUETTE
I NEED FROM YOU,
ADORE DELANO.
- I'M A BETTER DRAG QUEEN
THAN I'M COMING OFF, I SWEAR.
- [LAUGHS]
- I LOVED YOUR VOICE.
I THOUGHT THAT
YOU COULD COMPETE
IN "AMERICAN IDOL."
- I DID.
- SEE THAT?
I GOT THAT IMMEDIATELY.
- PARTY.
- HA!
PARTY.
[LAUGHTER]
- NEXT UP, APRIL CARRION.
- WELL, YOUR FACE
IS ALWAYS BEAT FOR THE GODS,
BUT I THINK YOUR SHADING'S
A LITTLE DARK
TOWARDS YOUR HAIRLINE.
- IT'S LIKE YOU HAVE
A BEARD ON YOUR FOREHEAD.
- APRIL, I KNOW YOU TRIED
REALLY, REALLY HARD
ON THIS CHALLENGE,
BUT YOU WERE WAY OFF.
- BEING THE BIG GIRL,
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SIZE.
IT'S MORE OF AN ATTITUDE,
AND YOU DIDN'T DELIVER
THE ATTITUDE.
YOU PUT SOME PADDING IN
AND THOUGHT
THAT IT WOULD TRANSLATE,
AND IT DIDN'T.
- THANK YOU, LADIES.
WHILE YOU UNTUCK
IN THE FORMDECOR LOUNGE,
THE JUDGES AND I
WILL DELIBERATE.
ALL RIGHT, NOW, JUST BETWEEN US,
DREAM GIRLS.
- HMM.
- LET'S TALK OFF-BROADWAY.
LET'S START WITH
TRINITY K. BONET.
- DICTION, DICTION, I WANT
TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!
- NOW, WHEN TRINITY'S IN DRAG,
SHE WEARS TEMPORARY TEETH.
WE CALL THEM FLIPPERS
IN THE BUSINESS.
I'M WONDERING,
COULD THAT BE THE REASON
SHE'S UNABLE
TO PRONOUNCE HER LYRICS?
- FLIPPER OR NO FLIPPER,
YOU'VE GOT TO WORK
WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
- THAT'S TRUE.
- YES.
- AND BE OPEN
TO LISTENING TO SOMEBODY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET
ALL "UGH" FACE.
AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME
FOR THAT.
[LAUGHTER]
- DARIENNE LAKE.
- SHE SEEMED TO GET
A LITTLE BIT
LOST IN THE SAUCE,
WHEREAS GIA,
FOGHORN OR NOT,
WAS GIVING IT ALL
WITH EASE.
DARIENNE DISAPPEARED
FOR ME.
- THE THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER,
COURTNEY ACT.
- I INSTANTLY WAS TRANSPORTED
INTO A BROADWAY HOUSE.
- YES.
- AND I TOTALLY BOUGHT IT
FROM HEAD TO TOE,
BUT THERE WERE SOME CLUNKERS
THAT SHE HIT.
- I DIDN'T REALLY MIND
ANY OF THE NOTES
THAT MIGHT'VE BEEN
A LITTLE OFF.
SHE REALLY NAILED
THIS PERFORMANCE.
- I LOVED THAT
FRESH-FROM-KANSAS,
FRESH-OFF-THE-BUS
LOOK OF HERS.
SHE WAS FABULOUS.
- BENDELACREME.
- KNEW THE CHOREOGRAPHY,
KNEW ALL THE WORDS,
LOOKED GOOD DOING IT.
- I REALLY LOVE
HER BODY LANGUAGE, AS WELL.
- YOU CAN TELL
BY LOOKING AT HER,
THIS IS HER SHTICK.
- YEAH.
-BUT SHE ONLY TOOK IT
HALFWAY TO TONI BRAXTON.
- [LAUGHS]
- SHE DIDN'T TAKE IT
ALL THE WAY.
- ADORE DELANO.
- ADORE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE,
BUT SHE CAN BE A LITTLE SLOPPY.
- ADORE WAS THE MVP FOR ME.
HER VOICE AND THE TONES
THAT WERE COMING OUT
OF HER MOUTH
MADE ME LOOK AT HER
IN A WHOLE OTHER LIGHT
OF BEING LIKE,
WOW, THIS IS A REAL TALENT.
- LAST BUT NOT LEAST,
APRIL CARRION.
- SHE'S BEAUTIFUL,
AND SHE TRIED REALLY HARD.
UNFORTUNATELY, SHE DID NOT
EMBODY THE BIG GIRL ROLE.
- WELL, THAT'S THE STANDOUT
ROLE OF THAT TRIO.
- YES, IT IS.
- AND IT HAS TO DELIVER.
THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.
- SILENCE,
I'VE MADE MY DECISION,
GUYS AND DOLLS.
NOW, BRING BACK MY GIRLS.
[LAUGHS]
- [LAUGHS]
WELCOME BACK, LADIES.
I'VE MADE SOME DECISIONS.
THE NOMINEES
FOR BEST ACTRESS
IN A RUSICAL ARE...
COURTNEY ACT
AS GOOD PENNY,
BENDELACREME
AS SHADY LADY,
ADORE DELANO
AS BAD PENNY.
MAY I HAVE
THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE?
THE WINNER OF THIS WEEK'S
MAIN CHALLENGE IS...
COURTNEY ACT.
- THANK YOU,
THANK YOU.
AND THANK YOU.
- YOU'VE WON
TWO VIP PACKAGES
FOR THE TONY-WINNING
BROADWAY MUSICAL
"KINKY BOOTS."
- OOH!
- LADIES, YOU MAY JOIN
THE OTHER GIRLS.
DARIENNE LAKE,
YOUR COMEDY QUEEN ROUTINE
DIDN'T REALLY SHTICK
WITH THE JUDGES.
TRINITY K. BONET,
YOUR PAGEANT QUEEN PERFORMANCE
WAS NOT YOUR CROWNING GLORY.
APRIL CARRION,
IN THE ROLE OF THE BIG GIRL,
YOU MAY HAVE BITTEN OFF
MORE THAN YOU COULD CHEW.
DARIENNE LAKE,
YOU ARE SAFE.
YOU MAY JOIN THE OTHER GIRLS.
TRINITY, APRIL,
I'M SORRY, MY DEARS,
BUT YOU ARE UP FOR ELIMINATION.
TWO QUEENS STAND BEFORE ME.
LADIES,
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE
TO IMPRESS ME
AND SAVE YOURSELF
FROM ELIMINATION.
THE TIME HAS COME
FOR YOU TO LIP-SYNC
FOR YOUR LIFE.
GOOD LUCK,
AND DON'T FUCK IT UP.
