RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 10, Episode 11 - Bring Back My Queens! - full transcript

[various characters] This is not
RuPaul's Best Friend Race.

I feel very attacked!

-You're perfect, you're beautiful.
-I do not want to go home.

You just want someone to fight with.

I've had it, officially.

[RuPaul] This is Untucked,
backstage at the competition

to become America's next drag superstar.

Girl, if you're not watching Untucked,
you're only getting half the story.

[man]
There's a break on the mainstage.

Back in ten.

All cameras, re-po.



[RuPaul] Thank you
for your honesty, ladies.

While you untuck backstage,
the judges and I will deliberate.

[Silky Nutmeg Ganache]
I challenged myself to prove

to the judges that I can
fix every critique

that they have for me in one challenge.

It was just too damn much.

But I accept responsibility and I'm not
afraid to lip sync for my life.

[Nina West]
I'm disappointed.

I understand the critiques
from the judges, absolutely.

It's almost as if I can feel
like it's my time to lip sync,

but I'm not a person who gives up.

[Vanjie] I'm happy
that I finally got positive feedback

'cause I worked really hard.

And I'm proud of everything
I presented with Ariel.



I feel like I possibly
could win this one.

[man] Go ahead. Go ahead.

Back, back, back again.

-Hey.
-Well, hello, welcome back to Untucked.

Which one's the stronger one?

Let me get myself a cocktail.

Oh, look at these fans.

-How you feeling?
-Eh.

[Ariel] Well, when Ru asked us all who
we thought should go tonight,

I felt it was pretty difficult because

obviously, each of these girls
in the top six

have something there
that put them there for a reason.

It was just hard answering that question,
'cause you've all worked super hard,

and you really have
to nitpick at this point.

[Soju] I just didn't expect...

I thought Ru was just going to ask
the girls that are remaining.

Yeah, that threw me for a loop, too.

-[groans] It's sucks, I feel horrible.
-Yeah.

'Cause, like, I already went home,
and I don't want her to go home.

And she's my partner
so I kind of feel, like,

I have some responsibility
for that, you know? Like...

So, who here said Yvie?

Yeah, let me visualize this so
I can go home and cry about it.

-Oh, wow.
-[laughing]

Please, you know I love you.

And then Silky, who said Silky?

Everybody else?

They were the only two.

[Shuga]
Look, it's tough on the runway.

I'm curious to know
how everyone feels, you know,

Silky, Yvie, your names were mentioned.

I already know that half of the girls
who, like, said I should go home

said I should go home
because of the fact, that, like...

-For personal reasons.
-Yeah.

That I haven't jazzed with them,
instead of real tee reasons.

And if that is a good enough
reason for you,

then, like, still slay, girl.

[A'Keria]
Well, I want to speak on that.

Because I was one of the girls
who said her name.

But, Yvie, like, me and you
have never had an issue.

-No.
-So, I don't want you to think

-it was a personal reason.
-I said half, girl.

Oh. I wanted to make sure
that we're clear.

[Honey] Big Silk with the good old milk,
how you feeling, doll?

-I was expecting it.
-I guess for what reason?

Let's just be honest.
Let's be very clear.

Half of the girls that are here
didn't like me from the very beginning.

-That's not true.
-That's not why people

said your name tonight.

-No.
-I'm not... well.

Am I... OK.

I don't want you to feel like
people said your name

-because you're not liked.
-No.

[Shuga] That's not true for me
and I told you already.

I guess for me, I accepted it all.

At the end of the day, one thing
I can always do is lip sync.

So, I'm just not afraid.
Like, it is what it is.

I just want to say that
it broke my heart to say you.

It really did, because I love you,
and I was not...

[scoffs]

Sorry. I wasn't basing it
on anything but tonight.

And what you showed on the runway.

It had nothing to do with
how I feel about you as a person.

I took my emotions out of this.

And I just want you to know that,
from me to you, that I fucking love you,

and I'm closer to you than I am to Yvie.

[Yvie] Really, where the fuck
was this Brooke Lynn

for, like, the last 20,000 weeks?

Like, fuck all the time and energy
I put into trying to get to know you,

'cause apparently I'm just
like some cold, mean bitch

who people don't want to get to know.

It's just painful.

The real tee is I wasn't surprised

by almost any of the girls
who said my name.

The only one I was
kind of shocked by was Nina.

I can say that it pains me
that I said that, 'cause I just--

Yeah, it sucks.
It really fucking did suck.

I feel really tight with you.

I think the world of you,
and I think the world of your drag.

Your drag is sickening, right?

It's next level on so many different...
on so many different planes.

And it's, like, it just sucks,
because it's just

the point of the competition
that we're at, and it sucks.

-You have to say someone.
-It just sucks.

I was surprised that you said me,

but at least you gave it
to those reasons

instead of just being, like,
I think you're a mean asshole.

That's the real reason.

But, Silky, what that does
is that discredits all the fucking times

I've been nice to you in this competition.

All the time I've spent being
nice to all of these girls,

and it's just because, like,
when I get real with you,

you don't like it.

When we clash, we clash.

But that doesn't mean that, like,
I'm some heartless monster,

and it still pisses me off that that's,
like, all apparently you think of me.

I don't have a desire to be friends
with you after this competition.

Girl, I don't have a desire to be
friends with you either,

but that doesn't mean I can't be nice.

And I've still been nice to you since,

which is why it pisses me off
that you'd be like,

"'Cause Yvie doesn't know
how to be nice."

Like, no, bitch, I know how to be real
when it comes to being real,

and I know how to be nice
when the niceties count.

I'm really pissed
that Silky would say that

because even after all of our clashes,
I've been nice to her,

even though she clearly
didn't accept my apology

and clearly wants nothing to do with me,

I still try and joke with her.

I helped her out when
she was one my team. Like...

I don't understand what her
conception of mean and nice are.

I... I just don't get why you'd say--

I think y'all have moments
when you get along and stuff

and when y'all argue,
it gets really ugly.

-There.
-Yeah, that's the real tee.

[Vanjie] That's what happens,
y'all have a disagreement

-but it goes to, you know, ten.
-It goes to another level.

And then when y'all can work together,
we were just in a group and everything.

-everything's cool.
-Right.

You know, that's just how y'all's been.

But if we're going
to have to deal with each other,

let's have an understanding because

not all the time
we're going to get along.

-Yeah.
-That's just human nature.

-Absolutely.
-But if you have an issue,

address that issue so we can
either deal with it,

and handle it or we'll know
how to take it from that point.

Because if I keep going
to you and you and you,

it's going to always be twisted up.

-Absolutely.
-And so that's why...

-Brooke Lynn is sad.
-Huh?

Brooke Lynn is sad.
She said that she's sad that she said you.

-Hmm?
-She's sad that she said you.

Well, she should be because she
told me that look was sickening

before we went out there.

I don't care for Brooke Lynn's apology,
because she lied to me.

So, I'm feeling hurt
that I'm in the bottom,

but I knew that was the risk I was taking.

I've been so nice to everybody here.
So nice.

-I'm just so sick of...
-[man] Because you definitely stayed

-true to yourself
-...and I'm almost there.

Stop. Stop.

Let's go over there.
You can talk to me. Come on.

[whispering] What's wrong?

Come here, come here.

Sit down, what's wrong?

What you gonna say?

No, 'cause when you said that...

that was the thing that hurt
my feelings so much.

Was from Brooke Lynn?

Was from Brooke Lynn?

Because, like...
she liked the look.

I feel, you know, like...

[sighs]

Tears are coming,
and I'm trying to, like, fight them.

It just truly upsets me at this point

because she stated to me quite a few times
that she don't like my runway looks,

but this time, honey,
she said she liked it.

And it looked good.

But on the runway,
she turned all that around

and said I should go home.

Who should go home tonight?

And why?

-Brooke Lynn.
-I would have to say Silky.

I just didn't think
the look was finished,

and I just don't think there
was a great family resemblance.

[Silky]
Bitch.

Miss Brooke Lynn, you done
gave me motherfucking Soju.

And now this shit?

You should have cut all the fake and phony
and just told me upfront, like,

"Bitch, I'm trying to send you home."

That's a strategic bitch.

You know, at this point,
no one even thinks about

shoulda, coulda, woulda.

'Cause that's just going to eat you alive.

What you can do is
if you have to lip sync, fight, because...

-Oh.
-You deserve to be here.

And you haven't lip synced yet
so they're going to be

excited to see you, as I'm going
to be excited to see you.

Listen, I done been there two times.

Channel all your frustration, emotion,
smile, have fun.

Do your little twirly moves.
Shit happens.

You're not perfect.

And you know what?

Yeah, maybe your clothes weren't the best
or haven't been the best.

But you have a lot of things
that people wish they had.

I feel that my hard work
has been overlooked by some.

And there's just so many emotions in me.

Like, all of my dreams
could be taken away, like this.

Look, this is a top six, this is amazing.

Some of the girls on the runway
got amazing critiques tonight.

And like, they did so well.

Raise your hand if you think
Vanjie won tonight.

-Bitch!
-Come on, girl!

I already told my sister congratulations.

So happy for her.

That's amazing, girl.

-First win.
-How do you feel?

She didn't win yet,
but I think you won, bitch.

Y'all are in the top.

How do you feel about
your critiques, though, like?

Good, I got emotional, like,

I do get irritated
with some stuff, obviously,

'cause I'm human, and that's what we do,
and it is sensitive because it's all me.

But, um, like, RuPaul and Michelle,

what they say and stuff like that,
yeah, it does matter to me.

Well, I had words in the workroom
and Miss Vanjie made me eat them today.

-It's OK.
-So, I do apologize to you.

Don't even... it's OK because

I was like the only one
that had been kind of

fumbling the ball a lot, you know,
so it was frustrating,

-but I had nobody to blame.
-Well, I'm sorry for what I said.

[Shuga] Brooke Lynn, you got
amazing critiques tonight, too.

Thank you.
We were very, like, simple and elegant,

and I didn't know if that
was going to be too little,

but I mean, this look really was
a love letter to my drag mother,

because she is an
old school pageant queen,

and she taught me everything.
She got me into pageantry.

She helped me, like, she was the reason
I won Miss Continental,

which got me to the states,
which got me here.

Like, she is the reason
I'm on this show today, really.

Her guidance and her help.

So, this was really like a tribute to her,
and everything she's done for me.

So, that's why just doing well in this,

and making her proud
meant so much to me.

Nina, you also didn't receive the best
critiques on the runway tonight.

How do you feel about
what was said to you?

I think what was said was justified.

Um, it's coming to terms with it, right?

Because I really love...
I love my looks.

And it represents my drag family
and what we do.

Like, I don't want to get emotional.

But...

Get emotional. Do it.

-I always do.
-[Brooke Lynn] You do.

-I always do.
-That's why we love you.

I didn't think I'd get this far,

so to have those critiques
kind of really just,

it was like a gut punch

because I'm so proud of
the work that I do...

And I know it didn't translate.

-And I--
-I think it did.

-I think it did.
-Thanks. Thank you.

And that was so...
the judges relayed that so much to you,

like, they banged that into you.

They were like, "We fucking love
this message that you are giving."

That was... you know?

Like, it felt so good.

OK, oh, we have
a video message, everybody.

-Ooh!
-Something's happening.

OK.

Dun, dun, dun, dun.

A special message for somebody
really special in my life.

Miss Vanjie.

-It's my mom.
-Oh!

[all whooping]

She got her hair done for the video.

Yes! That's everything!

Miss Vanjie, I want you to know
how proud I am of being your mother.

Everybody in the family is proud of you.

You're following your dream.

I remember when the first time
I went to see him do drag.

She did another position.
My mom is such a diva.

I was so happy and proud
that I got tears in my eyes.

I was crying of joy.

I knew as a baby he was special.

And I'm very proud of my son.

And what you see in Miss Vanjie,

that's who he is in real life.

The worst thing I could imagine,
it would be losing my mom.

She's the most important person
for me in my life.

My mom is like my biggest inspiration
in life with everything I do.

She's always believed in me,
that I can do, like,

anything I put my mind to.

Don't lose your focus,
focus on the prize

and bring home the crown

because you have worked hard for it,
and you deserve it.

I love you.
Mama Vanjie!

[Plastique]
Yes, Mama Vanjie!

-How old is your mother?
-Why is your mom so hot?

That's why I don't be
gagging over looks.

I said, girl, my mama is sickening.
What you mean?

She looks like fucking Jennifer Lopez.

Girl, my mom was working
my DragCon booth big.

-Was she?
-Yes, girl.

This is your five-minute
warning, ladies.

Thank you.

Ariel, thank you for being
so amazing with me, cyst...

[Shuga] Look, at the end
of the day, it is you.

You just gotta live your life
on that stage.

Because you deserve to be here.

A drag superstar like you,
like, you are where we come from,

-and you are everything.
-Thanks, guys.

You know I'm your number one fan, bitch.

-Like, so...
-[Plastique] You're a superstar.

I fucking love you.
Thank you.

-You're a superstar.
-Girl!

-Oh, bitch.
-No, you're a superstar.

I'm an old man with big shoulders.

[laughing]

-I can not--
-You're like, yes, that, too.

-I'm here and I'm thrilled to be here.
-You're here.

I'm thrilled to be here
and if it's me...

If it's me I will fight for this.

[Nina] Being so close to the end,
and possibly not getting it.

I want this so bad.

So, this is my time to clear my head,
and focus and perform.

[Silky] I'm scared that
I may have to lip sync.

I haven't lip synced at this point.

I'm disappointed because
I came to show that big girls

can be put together well,

and in this challenge,
I kinda lost all of that.

No matter how bad you fall,
it's about how you get back up.

They think I'm gonna be
the next one out,

but, bitch, you're going
to have to fight me.

Get your shoes and anything
you are wearing on the runway.

Time to lip sync!

[Vanjie]
Here come the drama!

[RuPaul] Silky Nutmeg Ganache...

Nina West...

the time has come...

for you to lip sync...

for your life.

Silky Nutmeg Ganache,
shantay, you stay.

Nina West...

you, my dear, are the pride of season 11.

Now, sashay away.

[Nina] It's bittersweet,
because it's taken me

nine years to get here, and then
I get to my first lip sync and...

I go home.

I just wanted to make the five.

I was one challenge away.

Oh, they left me notes.

This is from A'Keria.

Oh, my God,
"My Daddy Wide Load 101".

"You're the one person
that touched my heart

and I thank God
I was blessed to meet you.

I love you and trust me,
this is not the last of us."

"Nina, I've had the pleasure
of getting particularly close to you

throughout this journey,

and I can't wait to travel
the world with you. Yvie."

Oh, you know, it just doesn't go
the way you think it's gonna go.

I don't know, I feel like
I'm letting people down a little bit,

you know, back at home. So...

That's tough.

But I've never bet against myself,
so this is really just the beginning.

So, I mean like,
there's a lot more me in store.

And I just have to get ready for it,

and really get ready
for what's next in this world.

I wanted to be an example of someone

that could be the next
drag queen Barney, you know?

I wanted to be that,
and that's who I am,

and I wanted to make sure
I didn't lose that,

and that's the one thing
I'm holding my head so high with

is I never lost myself here.

And I was just so committed to being me,

I mean, like, just look at
the situation I was put in.

I got to meet all there
wonderful celebrities

who said they fell in love with me,

and that I'm joyful, and I bring joy,
and I'm a joy to watch and...

I wouldn't have gotten that
ever in my life.

It's just... it's just so hard
to believe it's over.

I am so sad to leave this competition.

But I also know, like,
the end is just the beginning.

And that's the best part of this.

You can be kind and you can show love
and you can change the world.

I'm so excited for this next chapter.

I made it really far and I'm really proud
and... this is just proof,

don't ever give up on your dreams.

Bye!
Bye, bye, bye! Bye!
