RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 10, Episode 12 - Queens Everywhere - 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 main stage.

Back in ten. All cameras, re-fo.

[RuPaul] Thank you, ladies.

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



You may leave the stage.

[Silky]
I'm truly blessed to be in this moment.

A fire has just been lit under my fat ass,

and I am ready to give
all I got to win this crown.

[Brooke Lynn]
This was kind of a traumatic week for me.

I thought I did really well,
and apparently, I didn't.

This is not how
I wanted to end a competition.

[Yvie] Oh, my God.

I'm on top of the world.

The five girls who are here
really have proven

at the most vital times
that we want this.

[A'Keria]
Throughout this competition,

I have overcome each challenge
that has been threw my way, baby.

Checkmate, bitches.



[Vanjie]
I need to be in the top four.

I've made it this far, and I've been
fighting my way the entire time.

If you think I'm finished fighting,
not yet, baby.

I'm coming for everybody.
Brooke Lynn, you too.

[man] Here they come.
In three, two, one...

[Brooke Lynn] Ooh, a drunk ballerina.

[grunts] Bitch.

[laughing]

Bitch, I gotta go get a robe.

Like, this is too much!

Yeah.

Or you could just, like,
lay down on a whole couch.

Let's try that. OK.

Whoa!

-[Brooke Lynn] Oh, Jesus.
-[laughing]

Bitch, I am still flat as a board.

Brooke Lynn, could you help me up?

-Oh, uh...
-'Cause I'm... I don't know.

I got to get up.

[Vanjie] I know I'm in the bot...
I know I'm in the bottom.

I don't know with quite who yet.

Girl, you can't be serious.

-You think?
-[Brooke Lynn] Yes!

But you always think it's you.

[Brooke Lynn]
Did you hear my critique?

[Vanjie] Yeah.

[Brooke Lynn] I mean, here's the thing.
Out of the five of us,

you all have such big,
amazing personalities.

And that's just not me.

I just don't have a huge,
crazy personality.

I'm just pretty...

and I can dance.

[Yvie]
OK, don't Plastique yourself.

-You're fashionable.
-[Brooke Lynn] I'm fashionable and pretty.

-You're shady.
-And I'm shady.

[laughing]

So, you guys both,
Brooke and Vanjie, both think it's you?

Like, you're sold on it being you two?

I feel, like, for sure I'm in the bottom.

It could be me and Brooke or me and Silk.

Just because she got
a little bit of negative

that's the only reason why I would say it.

I think it's me and Vanj.
For sure.

Miss A'Keria, you haven't spoken a word.
How do you feel about your critiques?

I mean, of course,
it was a gut punch to hear

Michelle say that she didn't think
I would make it this far...

To hear that was just, like, wow.

Because the recipe or the formula

that I had been using,
it didn't work here.

And, I'm glad that
they actually see my growth.

Because it was a changing moment for me,
and I have grew a lot.

They see me now
and they know I belong here.

-[Yvie] Yeah.
-And they want to continue.

They want more from me.

After that LADP challenge, like,
I saw all of your personality come out

and all of those reservations that you had
had in the beginning of this competition

seemed to vanish from you,
and you suddenly became, like,

one of the fiercest competitors
in this bitch,

because in every challenge,
your personality is there.

I was afraid of being not perfect,
to a certain extent.

-Mm-hmm.
-So, I overthought everything.

[Yvie]
Well, and just embracing who you are

because the A'Keria I've seen
in these last few weeks

has been absolutely beautiful.

It's been a 180, girl.

Like, you were, like, cool before,

and now, you're like one of the loudest,
most annoying bitches in this thing.

[all laughing]

A'Keria has definitely
let a lot of her walls down.

And I feel like I'm finally seeing
A'Keria the drag queen come through.

[Silky] Now this may be, I don't know...

'Cause I really want to know this.

Vanjie, Brooke Lynn, to have to lip sync
against each other tonight,

how does that make y'all feel?
Like, for real, for real.

Girl, you gotta do what you gotta do.
What do you mean?

I mean, I-- I've always looked at our...
whatever we have going on,

as completely separate
from this competition.

-[Silky] Right.
-I came here to do a job.

And I'm here to do the best I can do.

So, if I have to lip sync against Vanjie,
then I'm going to give it my all.

-I'm not...
-Yeah.

gonna go easy because it's her.

And whatever happens happens.

And if I win and get murdered
by her fans, then...

-[laughing]
-So be it.

We came here first,
you know, with our own dreams.

As competitors, yeah.

And regardless of what happens,
we both know it's not personal.

-[Brooke Lynn] No.
-It's down to five.

It's bound to be one or the other.

It's neither of our faults.

-[Vanjie] Yeah.
-Whatever happens.

Of course, the circumstances suck.

Like Brooke Lynn said, if I'm...

You know, if I stay, fierce.
Bitch, I will be excited.

-Yes.
-If I go home...

I will be sad, but bitch, at this point,

-it's down to the nitty gritty.
-It's down to the nitty gritty.

Exactly.

The podcast for me was,
like, a breaking down moment

in this competition of, like,
realizing how I've been treating others,

realizing how I am acting
and how I'm not letting people in.

Mm-hmm.

Silky, what did you talk about
in your podcast?

I actually talked about you.

I was just, like,
I felt like Yvie didn't like me

but Yvie had said something
so genuine to me...

Last week, you know,
lip syncing for my life,

after it was all said and done,

Yvie had said to me,
"You're actually a human,

and it's really nice to see
that you are, you know,

you have really, feelings."
And it was beautiful.

And I was so shocked
to hear that from her.

-Mm.
-I was shook, but I was only shaken

because I never showed
these girls vulnerability.

There was a point where you apologized,
and you did say, like, "I try."

But in my mind, I'm, like,
you did that, but, bitch,

you said that still cut deep.

And, like, that kind of held back,
you know, us moving forward.

And, like, I want to say Yvie, like,
I want to apologize to you.

I appreciate your words.

I wasn't trying to hear it then,
but, like, your words,

your words are true and they do stand,

and there were things that,
like, I could have listened to, like,

way back when
that probably help me now,

and them not getting
on my case so much.

[Yvie] Well, I still mean what I said.

I really am proud of what
you've done in this competition,

and I know that when I get heated,
it seems like all I am is hatred,

but I promise you that I have nothing
but love and respect for you, Silky.

And, like, I don't want
to make shitty excuses,

but that's why I blew up
at you when I did,

is 'cause I was, like,
you're resting on this personality,

and a part of that that I never said

is that I wish I had, like,
some fantastic charming personality.

-[A'Keria] Girl, me, too.
-But you do! You do, too, bitch.

-[A'Keria] I don't.
-Yes, you do, bitch.

But I tell you, I ki-ki
with you from the very beginning,

and part of that's because
you're Auntie Ki-ki, like...

Bitch, everybody need an auntie
they can just go to and feel like

they can talk about anything.

Like, wait 'til I get home, and I be like,
"Girl, A'Keria bitch!"

-I'm blocking up already, baby.
-Uh-uh, you don't even know yet.

That's why I got rid of a lot.

[laughing]

I'm honestly glad that I developed
a relationship with all of y'all,

but definitely you also,
because I like to meet people

who are different,
and they're not afraid of being different

because it allows me
to get more knowledgeable

on how to handle people like you, also.

Girl, for real tee.

Now, I see, you know, you for you

and I know where a lot of your,
you know, stuff comes from.

It's not her being mean,

that's just who she is
and how she delivers certain things.

And I appreciate that.

-That's the real tee, though.
-Bitch.

I felt like it was really hard
for me to connect to Ru,

and whenever you walk
into the room, you're like,

here I am, here's my heart
right there on my sleeve.

Girl, it comes with
its insecurities, too.

Because part of me felt like

I was trying to overcompensate
because I was plus size.

I feel like your personality
and a lot of things that you say

is to deflect certain insecurities
that you do have about yourself.

And it really does.

Like, I have a lot of insecurities.

I think your greatest strength
is sometimes your greatest weakness, too.

-[A'keria] Yes.
-Just like with any of us.

[laughing]

[Silky] I really have to face
the struggles that I've had

this entire competition,
because it's not the first time

I had body issues.

And I'm afraid that people
are gonna think that

I'm a plus-size messy queen

that can't get herself
together under pressure.

This really showed my insecurities.

If it's worth anything, bitch,
I fully understand.

Like, I've gotten shit my whole life
for being twig thin,

and like, as a little kid
having all these kids make fun of you

for just the way you're born.

What the fuck was I supposed
to do as a little kid?

Like, go to the gym,
lift weights and shit?

[laughs]

No, bitch, you supposed to eat.

You should have came to buffet with me!

[laughs]

-[A'Keria] In high school...
-[Yvie] Mm-hmm.

I was voted Mr. Popular.
Like, I was cool with everybody,

but I still felt like I was
putting on some type of facade,

because I still wasn't who
I really wanted to be.

-Mm-hmm.
-I mean, you're lonely.

And I did feel lonely because

I didn't have anybody
I could turn to and talk about,

you know, things that I was dealing with.

I was so lonely,
but I was never alone.

I mean, I had those people around me

but I still had nobody to turn to
when I really needed it.

So, it was easy for me to cop attitude

or shun people out
because if I don't allow you to get close,

you won't ever have to see my true side.

That was my go-to...
attack, be rude, be mean.

Nobody even questioned it

because nobody wants to
even deal with you.

I was so worried about being judged
but I wasn't alone,

meaning although a lot of times
you may not have felt it,

your people and your family loved you.

My grandmother is the one
that made me come out at the age of 22.

'Cause in my mindset,
what's understood need no explanation.

Like, bitch, my family
is like in the church.

Southern, black, but like,
it was so liberating to come out

and just to say, like, "Yeah, this is me,
accept it or you leave it."

It's unfair because we honestly
shouldn't have to come out.

You shouldn't have to, like,
go through all of that,

but in a world where
being gay is something

that people try to, like,
shove under the rug so hardcore.

It's really liberating to have come out.

I came out when I was 15 to my mom,
my dad, my stepdad.

My friends, my grandparents.
Everyone.

I always knew there was
something queer about me,

but it wasn't until everyone
in my friend group

just started being, like,
"Yeah, I'm bi. It's OK. It's cool."

That I found the strength to be, like,

"I might like guys, maybe."

Are you guys glad that Ru
didn't ask who we think should go home?

I still don't think it's too late.

[laughing]

I'm super happy that Ru didn't ask

because, like,
this far in the competition,

I don't like basing it
just on this week, like...

[Yvie]
That's the tee.

While last week, obviously,
I, like, threw out your name,

this week, I don't know
who the fuck I would say.

-Yeah.
-Mm-hm.

-You OK?
-Yeah. It just sucks.

I hope it's not us, but...

You feel strongly about it.

I have a feeling it will be.
I mean, I just, like, Silky got,

it was much more...
it was overwhelmingly positive.

-Positive, yeah.
-Yeah, so, I'm pretty sure it's us.

[groans]

Obviously, we're both here to win,
and we're both here for a competition.

But for me and Vanjie to lip sync
against each other is fucking rough.

Well, you know you're amazing.

-I think you're amazing, too.
-Go have fun.

-Just have fun out there.
-Mm-hm.

Do your best, I'll do my best.

I mean, regardless, um,
we're in the top five.

-We're in the top five, right?
-Yeah.

I mean, it just sucks because
Brooke Lynn is somebody I care for.

It's just a mix of emotions, like...

I don't want to go home
but I don't want him to go home either.

It's just the worst situation possible.

[all laughing]

No, bitch, you supposed to eat.

Look at them.
It must be so nice to be safe.

-[Vanjie] I know.
-[laughing]

Do y'all think anybody should be here

that's not here just
looking back over everything?

-[A'Keria] Nope.
-[laughing]

Like, Brooke Lynn's perfect.

They love Brooke Lynn.

A'Keria has, like, grown so much

and I know RuPaul
loves her style so much.

And Silky is, like,
the personality of the season.

Vanjie is, like, the comeback kid
that everyone's been rooting for,

and I'm like, "Well, here I am
this cold, hard icy ass bitch."

[laughing]

Yes, Yvie, you're still
in this even though

it's like the last fucking
little bit of this race.

[Yvie] I feel like I take big risks
at every single turn.

And a lot of the times
that's ended up biting me in the ass,

but I think it's made
my journey something memorable.

And something that hopefully
the judges will be able

to pick key points out of.

Because, like,
I've--I've been showing something new

every single time,
and that's because my drag

is about transformation.

Girl, we're like on the last Untucked.

[Silky]
The last one, the last leg.

All right, ladies,
this is your five-minute warning.

[A'Keria] Oh, as soon
as I try to get a cocktail,

you wanna tell me five minutes.

Let's put our dresses back on,
put our shoes on.

[Yvie] Oh, that's so rude.

-[Silky] Girl.
-OK.

[Brooke]
I know I'm in the bottom.

There's nothing I can do about it,
and if I'm going out,

I'm going out with a fucking bang.

I am giving you every flip, split, flop,
climbing on walls,

I'm doing every fucking thing I can.

[Vanjie]
Well, bitch, you almost there.

You almost at the finish line.

You gotta muster up
all of whatever you got

and just leave it on the floor.

Blood, sweat, tears, child.

I'm not ready to leave.

[man] All right, ladies,
let's all gather over here,

we're walking in 30 seconds.
Walking in 30 seconds.

No matter what happens,
you really have been a major asshole.

[laughing]

[RuPaul]
Welcome back, ladies.

Miss Vanjie...

Brooke Lynn Hytes...

The time has come...

for you to lip sync...

for your life!

Brooke Lynn Hytes, shantay, you stay.

Miss Vanjie,
you didn't just come back...

bitch, you came through.

Now, sashay away.

[Vanjie]
It just sucks.

I was so close to being
in the top four.

And now I have to go home,

without accomplishing
my dream completely.

I'm just happy I got to be here
as far as I did.

I'm just grateful that they gave me
the opportunity to come back.

Oh, Jesus.

This is too familiar.

Oh, my God, I feel sad.

At the same time, I'm like...
I'm very proud of myself,

and what I've done,
'cause it's not easy.

I went from going home first
to almost making the finale.

Last time I was doing this situation,
it was really bad.

Like, I was devastated,

distraught, embarrassed,
and I was wearing this.

This is the one I got sent home in
that went viral, was legendary...

was a shit show.

They called me The Blob.

You can find it on eBay.
The highest bidder.

I feel like I've grown as a person.

Spiritually, I became more happy.

Like, that's a blessing.

Well, Miss Vanjie came back.

And I know my ass turned the party,
and I had a lot of fun.

Mm-hmm.

I just need to get one more look.

Miss Vanjie. Miss Vanjie.

Oh, I "werked" this season.

I "werked".
That's why I was in the top five.

I just hope I've made everyone proud
that wanted to see more of me.

And going forward,
it's not just Miss Vanjie,

it's Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

Ooh! Child, I can't even go home in peace.

It is definitely not the last
you've seen of me.

Trust and believe.

Baby!

I love you guys.

Thank you!

Miss Vanjie in the motherfucking van
riding out.

Love y'all!

That's how you go out on Untucked,
motherfucker.

Put the pedal to the metal, baby.

Miss Vanjie!

Bye!

Bye!
