RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 10, Episode 4 - Trump: The Rusical - 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 wanna go home.
-You just want someone to fight with!
I've had it, officially!
[RuPaul] This is Untucked,
backstage of the competition
to become America's next drag superstar.
Girl, if you're not watching Untucked,
you're only getting half the story.
[man] That's a break on the main stage,
back in ten.
All cameras re-fo.
[RuPaul] Scarlet Envy...
Ariel Versace...
Nina West...
Plastique Tiara...
Shuga Cain...
A'keria C. Davenport...
You're safe from elimination.
You may leave the stage.
[Scarlet] Considering this was
a choreography challenge,
I'm totally fine being safe and I'm ready
to take on the next challenge.
[Nina] I really was excited
to do Sarah Huckabee.
I am disappointed
that I didn't snag the win.
I guess it just means I'm gonna have
to show 'em more the next time.
[Ariel]
My feet hurt!
[singing and chattering]
I'm so, so, so excited!
-We are gonna sit and relax.
-Oh, my God!
-Y'all congratulations.
-Congratulations everyone!
Girl, I feel incredible to be
sitting here after a goddamn meltdown.
'Cause no shade,
I was a little nervous about you also.
-Girl, you were nervous about me?
-I was nervous about you.
[Ariel] Even though I struggled
a little bit during rehearsals,
I feel like I was really able to
turn it out in the final product,
so, I am just so happy
to still be safe at this point.
-How do you feel?
-I feel great!
Because you went into it feeling good.
[Ariel]
I was a little bit worried about you
because I feel like you
gave yourself a smaller part.
-But I feel like watching it--
-Well...
I was able to, like,
let everyone shine the way
that they should and not be worried
about being overshadowed.
Your dancing was a struggle,
like, the house down.
I don't know how
you pulled that off, girl.
And I don't even know
if you did pull it off.
I'm sittin' right here, aren't I?
Well, I didn't see the receipts
of the actual movements in the thing.
You think you actually got 'em?
[laughter]
Here we go.
[Shuga] Look at that!
C'mon, bitch. C'mon, costume change.
OK, so where did we go?
[Hawaiian music]
One, two, three, four,
-five, six, seven, eight...
-Up, left, right, left...
[A'keria] She reminds me of, like,
y'all know at the car place,
the little car thing
that be blowin' like this?
[all laughing]
Free cars, girl.
Who do y'all think is in the top
and who is in the bottom?
I don't think they're going to like
Yvie's runway look tonight.
Like, yeah, I get it,
but like you're wearing, like,
a fake latex skirt with paint splattered
all over it? Like, come on.
It's a little all over
the place this week.
Well, I don't agree with you.
I think Yvie represents
so much drag in the country
where people aren't spending
thousands of dollars
and they're bringing just themselves,
and I think the judges
really respond to that.
[Scarlet] Well, it's been proven,
they do respond to that.
I don't know how they saw it.
Well, we know
her performance was amazing.
[Shuga]
Her performance was hilarious.
OK, so who's in the top
and who's in the bottom?
Brooke Lynn, Silky,
and I'm gonna say Yvie.
And I think bottom would be Mercedes...
I hate to say Vanjie, but baby,
Vanjie, because I don't know why!
[A'keria] And who else though?
Because if Yvie's in the top
that puts Vanjie in the bottom.
OK, so, let's narrow it down. Who do
y'all think is gonna have to lip synch?
Mercedes is a thousand percent
lip syncing tonight.
-Mercedes for sure.
-Mercedes for sure.
I don't know who she's
lip syncing against though.
I don't either.
-I really honestly don't know.
-It's literally anyone.
[Nina] I think Ra'jah.
[groans] Right.
[Shuga] I feel like this season is very
much RuPaul's Best Friends Race.
Bitch.
Not if you were here
on Untucked last week, bitch.
What I thought is happening
is a lot of people
go on these interviews
and they say certain things,
but then they come back
and they kinda clean it up.
So, you kinda clean up your reel,
and it's, like,
-just say how you truly feel, like--
-I think that's happening a lot.
Obviously, there are people in the group
who have opinions that they've been
giving in their confessionals.
If you're really gonna show everyone
you're a true competitor, just say it.
Be yourself, be honest.
Who do you feel is... doing it?
I don't know if you can predict,
like, who's doing it
as much as I think
the shit's just gonna hit the fan.
I just feel like something...
I think everyone's got...
Everyone feels some way
about somebody else.
[Scarlet] Girl, spill.
I think that there are people
who definitely are
really true to their character
and in that I mean
that Yvie really does not...
She'll call somebody out.
And I really appreciated it.
[Scarlet] I don't.
I don't like her approach.
It's not even that I disagree with it,
it's just like, girl, now is not the time.
She has a bad way
sometimes of doing it.
I spend more money on this
than I spend on anything else I--
[Yvie] OK, I'mma cut you off.
It's not about money, girl.
You have to throw--
[Scarlet] No, no, my point being,
if I was allowed to finish--
-So, then, don't use that as an excuse.
-It's not an excuse.
OK, I did not come here
to fight with you.
I do not have the energy
to give you right now.
The last time it happened to me,
I was feeling down already,
and I just feel like she was
enjoying kicking me when I was down.
[Nina] I don't think that was
the case at all.
Well, that was how I took it.
Scarlet doesn't take
criticism too well though.
I feel like it's gonna hurt her
because there's gonna be a lot of times
where she's going to get critiques
that aren't going to be
what she wants to hear,
and it's gonna knock her out.
Some people come from
different backgrounds,
so Yvie might be
that person that actually,
"Let's go ahead and call it out
while everybody is here."
That way it doesn't be no,
"OK, well she feels--"
[Shuga]
But I think she's very self-aware,
which I love about that,
'cause then she'll be like,
"You know what, I realize
that this is what I'm doing,
I'm going to genuinely apologize to you."
[RuPaul] Thank you, ladies.
While you untuck back stage,
the judges and I will deliberate.
[excited talking and screaming]
Oh, she's top, she won.
-Silky won, too.
-[Nina] Are you in the top?
[A'keria] Silky looks good,
Vanjie looks happy, Yvie looks good.
Vanjie's not happy.
Who got the lyrics?
[Plastique] Oh, no.
[Nina]
All right, all right, hold up.
Let's get the girls seated
'cause I wanna hear the tee.
[Brooke Lynn]
Yvie, they loved Yvie's look,
they loved her Kelly Anne.
Love, love, love.
They have nothing bad
to say about Yvie at all.
So, we'll be honest
we were mixed about Yvie.
We were like they're gonna hate it
or they're gonna love it.
-They liked it.
-Cute, great, good, cool.
[Yvie] My runway look is unique
to who I am and what I do.
A lot of these bitches
are just so boring,
and it's because they
are not taking any risks.
Specifically, Ariel, like,
you're going to get read
if all of your runways look the same.
And, guess what, girl?
They do.
-You feeling OK?
-I'm nervous.
-Don't be nervous.
-I'm nervous.
I gave it all I could, you know.
I gave my best.
So, you didn't spill the tee
about your critiques, so, what's going on?
Critiques were, like, you know,
you're acting, you did not shine.
I'm sitting right next to Nina,
like, I need to be big.
[Ariel] What did they say
about your runway?
My runway?
She said I shouldn't like my...
[mumbles]
And I was like, "OK."
-[Silky] Michelle did.
-Michelle.
Well, she does not like leotards.
So--
Bitch, you know what you gotta do
if you gotta do it so...
Yeah, if I got to lip synch for my life--
[Ariel] You've already done it once
and you won, so...
You never know, you know,
it could go either way, like, you know.
[Silky] Do you know your song?
-Yeah, I know my song.
-Well, you practice.
I'm walking right over here,
and sit my big ass out.
-[Ariel chuckling]
-So, I have to lip synch...
-Come over here.
-I love you too, girl.
[Scarlet]
Hey, Ra'jah, you look beautiful.
Tell us what's inside your head, girl.
Um...
They said that they didn't get Omarosa
from the character that I played.
They just lost me and the whole thing.
I may be in the bottom two,
and I'm a little bit in my head.
I've wanted to show
that I'm good enough. I'm here.
But, it's hard.
For me, this competition has been
one of the hardest things
I've ever had to do.
It looks so easy on TV,
but it's a lot harder...
when you're here...
Like, the pressure that you feel,
the not knowing where you really stand,
not knowing how
they're gonna respond to you--
You start to question yourself,
like you start,
"Am I good enough? Am I worthy?
Like, what am I doing here?"
And, that's the fucking...
This competition is stressful
and it will take its toll on you,
mentally and physically.
[Silky]
If you saw my attitude this morning,
bitch, I was just like, "I am over it."
Like, I was completely over it.
And, Vanjie's like,
"Bitch, what would your grandmama say?"
That's what she said to me.
And, I was just like, "Oh, my goodness,
like this is some real shit."
Like, she said this to me
and she started crying, like...
And, I think it helped me
and empowered to, like,
elevate myself up a little bit more.
I have to come up with this little
eight count and get what I gotta do.
You know me,
I gotta come up with something.
You're gonna be fine.
Are you feeling OK?
[murmurs] I will be.
I mean, I'm just a little bit...
Out of the three I know you were...
I feel like you were given
the least harsh critiques.
[Vanjie] Fuck that shit.
If I get any negative...
I'm learning the song and I'm...
You'll be fine though.
Last week, it was six hoes
lip syncing for their life.
So, anytime I get
a little ounce of negative,
I'm putting the headphones on, OK?
Like, I'm not trying to go home.
Not, you know.
Honestly, they gave you,
like, almost no negative critiques
when we were rehearsing. That's the thing,
and you were killing the dancing so...
Whatever. I mean...
You know, it is what it is. I have to do.
[Nina] Brooke Lynn and Vanjie
are kissing in Untucked.
What?
So, did anyone see Brooke Lynn
and Vanjie kiss over here?
[gasping]
Wait, what?
I have no idea about that.
What is going on?
Is this real?
I think they might be
going through a hoemance.
-A hoemance?
-What!
-Speaking of...
-[Shuga] Brooke Lynn, spill it!
[all chattering]
-You got a hoemance going on, girl?
-Oh, fuck off, everyone.
[Scarlet]
Where you and Miss Vanjie--
What is this hoemance
that's going on, Brooke Lynn?
[giggles]
I was waiting for this question.
[Nina] Vanjie's cute, honey.
Look at that D, bish.
-[laughing]
-Get that Vanjie D.
Where my bad bitches at?
[all screaming]
Oh, my God, yes.
Yes!
Tiffany is in the house.
All my bad... bitches.
[all cheering]
I'm just... I'm a big fan of New York.
Miss New York is wild.
She reality TV gold.
Lemme just, lemme sit... lemme just...
Oh, my queen.
We're looking too good.
Girl, when they said
you were coming, we all flipped out.
Stop i... Y'all don't even
understand when I got the invite, I cried.
It was a real like...
"All right, finally!"
[all laughing]
So, how you ladies loving the experience?
-How is it for you guys?
-Ooh, girl.
It's a roller coaster.
Well, I don't see
no black eyes or nothing.
Have you all not been fighting?
No fighting?
Oh, yeah, we fight.
Definitely, you know...
Girl, let me go and black your eye,
and then, all right, girl,
-lemme put a little bit of patch on.
-[New York] I love it.
In this environment,
sisterhood is very important, ladies.
-It really is.
-[Yvie] Absolutely.
Tiffany is spot on, we're all
not gonna get along at all times.
Just as any other family, sisters fight.
But, we're all in this together.
Have you had a bikini wax before?
No, ma'am.
-[Brooke Lynn] Yes.
-Who?
I've had my asshole waxed,
my balls waxed.
[laughing]
My man is not afraid of a bush,
so, I've been letting the bush happen.
[all yelling]
But... No, no.
-Thank you for telling me--
-It's hot now.
I need to get rid of the hair.
Does a bikini wax hurt?
-You never had one?
-No.
With a shaver.
I, like, with the electric razor.
Well, it doesn't feel good.
It's gonna hurt, girl.
All I'm thinking is New York
is hashtag no filter!
That hurts.
It's gonna hurt, yes.
Listen, we're all talking
about our kitty cats.
Has there been any...
-Romantic...
-[all screaming]
[talking over each other]
[Silky]
Girl, there's been a couple. A few.
Who? 'Cause we wanna know.
Have a seat, baby, have a seat.
[all cheering loudly]
How long has this been going on?
You got that itch
that need to be scratched.
[all laughing]
Miss Brooke Lynn and Miss Vanjie,
don't wanna put out in the streets
'cause they still trying
to keep it under wraps
but, girl, we see y'all kissing.
Listen, let me say, every last one
-of y'all are so beautiful, so radiant.
-Thank you.
I didn't even think I would get half
as what y'all gave me tonight
on that stage.
It's beautiful, breathtaking.
[all clapping and cheering]
We love you, Tiffany, too.
-We're getting ready for Tiffany...
-Oh, OK.
-Sorry.
-Ladies!
-Ladies, ladies.
-I gotta get a hug from you.
[all chattering]
We love you, girl.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you, you're beautiful.
All right, y'all take care, OK?
-Bye, thank you for coming.
-I love y'all.
I'm here to check in on you, bitch.
-What the fuck happened with you?
-Girl. Long story short--
You're not gonna have to lip synch.
Girl, after last time
seeing six of y'all in the bottom,
bitch, any negative I'm thinking...
Do what you gotta do.
Yeah, so I'm not even gonna
take the chance of leaving--
[A'keria]
That's why I told you to make sure--
Bitch, I didn't come all the way over here
to sit back on the couch and get kicked.
I'm not going home, so, I'm gonna
have to do what I need to do...
-[Silky] I wanna say this to you...
-Yep.
because there was a moment,
like, during the challenge
where, you know, I wasn't my very best
and you uplifted me.
I got to do the same to you.
Do what you gotta do.
We came here for this.
You ain't gotta cry about this, bitch.
I know how it is.
-You got it.
-But you got this.
You're my sister,
and we're here for you.
-Don't you cry.
-No, I'm good.
-You're gonna make me cry, bitch.
-I ain't trying to make you cry,
but, girl, you've been one of the girls
who ride or die for me.
Now, I'm gonna see about
this other shady bitch.
This is your five minute warning,
five minutes.
[Ra'jah] I already know
that I'm gonna be in the bottom
and I'm prepared to lip synch.
I worked so hard to get here.
I really wanna shine and I really wanna
show everybody who Ra'jah is.
[Mercedes] This is real.
It's a competition.
If you fuck it up,
you're gonna be on the bottom.
So, I am here with my A-game, honey.
I'mma show Mama Ru
why I deserve to stay.
[man] All right, ladies,
let's go, let's go.
We walking, we walking.
Follow me.
[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.
Mercedes Iman Diamond,
Ra'jah O'Hara,
the time has come for you
to lip synch for your life.
Ra'jah O'Hara, shantay you stay.
Mercedes Iman Diamonds are forever.
Now, sashay away.
Oh, my... fucking God.
When Mama Ru said, "Sashay away,"
it literally hits you so hard.
Your whole dreams are,
like, taken away from you,
because you give up
everything to be here.
[sighs]
Oh, my God.
It's like I've never been here.
Oh, my God.
First day.
Lies.
I got some letters.
God, I don't wanna get emotional.
"Mercedes, sis I hated to have
to lip synch against you.
It was a pleasure getting to know you.
Season 11 forever."
[trilling]
Oh, God, Ra'jah.
Oh, my God. I love you, Ra'jah.
I'm sad that I'm leaving
all my sisters here...
but this is the beginning of Mercedes.
For those out there, don't give up.
If I didn't make this season,
I would have auditioned for season 12,
or season 13, season 287
if it gets to that point.
Follow your dreams.
You know what, this is one dream I had,
to be on this show.
And, I finally did.
Wow, I'm literally
walking out of the workroom.
Oh, my God,
I'm gonna miss you, workroom.
Bye, workroom.
I'm out.
You know this is once in a lifetime,
but I'm not heartbroken, I'm not...
I'm sad with myself because
Mama Ru picked me
out of thousands of girls.
So, I'm walking out of here
with a smile on my face.
Like, bitches, I made it.
I love you.
This was the beginning
of Mercedes Iman Diamond,
and I will see you guys soon.

Vanjie's not happy.
Who got the lyrics?
[Plastique] Oh, no.
[Nina]
All right, all right, hold up.
Let's get the girls seated
'cause I wanna hear the tee.
[Brooke Lynn]
Yvie, they loved Yvie's look,
they loved her Kelly Anne.
Love, love, love.
They have nothing bad
to say about Yvie at all.
So, we'll be honest
we were mixed about Yvie.
We were like they're gonna hate it
or they're gonna love it.
-They liked it.
-Cute, great, good, cool.
[Yvie] My runway look is unique
to who I am and what I do.
A lot of these bitches
are just so boring,
and it's because they
are not taking any risks.
Specifically, Ariel, like,
you're going to get read
if all of your runways look the same.
And, guess what, girl?
They do.
-You feeling OK?
-I'm nervous.
-Don't be nervous.
-I'm nervous.
I gave it all I could, you know.
I gave my best.
So, you didn't spill the tee
about your critiques, so, what's going on?
Critiques were, like, you know,
you're acting, you did not shine.
I'm sitting right next to Nina,
like, I need to be big.
[Ariel] What did they say
about your runway?
My runway?
She said I shouldn't like my...
[mumbles]
And I was like, "OK."
-[Silky] Michelle did.
-Michelle.
Well, she does not like leotards.
So--
Bitch, you know what you gotta do
if you gotta do it so...
Yeah, if I got to lip synch for my life--
[Ariel] You've already done it once
and you won, so...
You never know, you know,
it could go either way, like, you know.
[Silky] Do you know your song?
-Yeah, I know my song.
-Well, you practice.
I'm walking right over here,
and sit my big ass out.
-[Ariel chuckling]
-So, I have to lip synch...
-Come over here.
-I love you too, girl.
[Scarlet]
Hey, Ra'jah, you look beautiful.
Tell us what's inside your head, girl.
Um...
They said that they didn't get Omarosa
from the character that I played.
They just lost me and the whole thing.
I may be in the bottom two,
and I'm a little bit in my head.
I've wanted to show
that I'm good enough. I'm here.
But, it's hard.
For me, this competition has been
one of the hardest things
I've ever had to do.
It looks so easy on TV,
but it's a lot harder...
when you're here...
Like, the pressure that you feel,
the not knowing where you really stand,
not knowing how
they're gonna respond to you--
You start to question yourself,
like you start,
"Am I good enough? Am I worthy?
Like, what am I doing here?"
And, that's the fucking...
This competition is stressful
and it will take its toll on you,
mentally and physically.
[Silky]
If you saw my attitude this morning,
bitch, I was just like, "I am over it."
Like, I was completely over it.
And, Vanjie's like,
"Bitch, what would your grandmama say?"
That's what she said to me.
And, I was just like, "Oh, my goodness,
like this is some real shit."
Like, she said this to me
and she started crying, like...
And, I think it helped me
and empowered to, like,
elevate myself up a little bit more.
I have to come up with this little
eight count and get what I gotta do.
You know me,
I gotta come up with something.
You're gonna be fine.
Are you feeling OK?
[murmurs] I will be.
I mean, I'm just a little bit...
Out of the three I know you were...
I feel like you were given
the least harsh critiques.
[Vanjie] Fuck that shit.
If I get any negative...
I'm learning the song and I'm...
You'll be fine though.
Last week, it was six hoes
lip syncing for their life.
So, anytime I get
a little ounce of negative,
I'm putting the headphones on, OK?
Like, I'm not trying to go home.
Not, you know.
Honestly, they gave you,
like, almost no negative critiques
when we were rehearsing. That's the thing,
and you were killing the dancing so...
Whatever. I mean...
You know, it is what it is. I have to do.
[Nina] Brooke Lynn and Vanjie
are kissing in Untucked.
What?
So, did anyone see Brooke Lynn
and Vanjie kiss over here?
[gasping]
Wait, what?
I have no idea about that.
What is going on?
Is this real?
I think they might be
going through a hoemance.
-A hoemance?
-What!
-Speaking of...
-[Shuga] Brooke Lynn, spill it!
[all chattering]
-You got a hoemance going on, girl?
-Oh, fuck off, everyone.
[Scarlet]
Where you and Miss Vanjie--
What is this hoemance
that's going on, Brooke Lynn?
[giggles]
I was waiting for this question.
[Nina] Vanjie's cute, honey.
Look at that D, bish.
-[laughing]
-Get that Vanjie D.
Where my bad bitches at?
[all screaming]
Oh, my God, yes.
Yes!
Tiffany is in the house.
All my bad... bitches.
[all cheering]
I'm just... I'm a big fan of New York.
Miss New York is wild.
She reality TV gold.
Lemme just, lemme sit... lemme just...
Oh, my queen.
We're looking too good.
Girl, when they said
you were coming, we all flipped out.
Stop i... Y'all don't even
understand when I got the invite, I cried.
It was a real like...
"All right, finally!"
[all laughing]
So, how you ladies loving the experience?
-How is it for you guys?
-Ooh, girl.
It's a roller coaster.
Well, I don't see
no black eyes or nothing.
Have you all not been fighting?
No fighting?
Oh, yeah, we fight.
Definitely, you know...
Girl, let me go and black your eye,
and then, all right, girl,
-lemme put a little bit of patch on.
-[New York] I love it.
In this environment,
sisterhood is very important, ladies.
-It really is.
-[Yvie] Absolutely.
Tiffany is spot on, we're all
not gonna get along at all times.
Just as any other family, sisters fight.
But, we're all in this together.
Have you had a bikini wax before?
No, ma'am.
-[Brooke Lynn] Yes.
-Who?
I've had my asshole waxed,
my balls waxed.
[laughing]
My man is not afraid of a bush,
so, I've been letting the bush happen.
[all yelling]
But... No, no.
-Thank you for telling me--
-It's hot now.
I need to get rid of the hair.
Does a bikini wax hurt?
-You never had one?
-No.
With a shaver.
I, like, with the electric razor.
Well, it doesn't feel good.
It's gonna hurt, girl.
All I'm thinking is New York
is hashtag no filter!
That hurts.
It's gonna hurt, yes.
Listen, we're all talking
about our kitty cats.
Has there been any...
-Romantic...
-[all screaming]
[talking over each other]
[Silky]
Girl, there's been a couple. A few.
Who? 'Cause we wanna know.
Have a seat, baby, have a seat.
[all cheering loudly]
How long has this been going on?
You got that itch
that need to be scratched.
[all laughing]
Miss Brooke Lynn and Miss Vanjie,
don't wanna put out in the streets
'cause they still trying
to keep it under wraps
but, girl, we see y'all kissing.
Listen, let me say, every last one
-of y'all are so beautiful, so radiant.
-Thank you.
I didn't even think I would get half
as what y'all gave me tonight
on that stage.
It's beautiful, breathtaking.
[all clapping and cheering]
We love you, Tiffany, too.
-We're getting ready for Tiffany...
-Oh, OK.
-Sorry.
-Ladies!
-Ladies, ladies.
-I gotta get a hug from you.
[all chattering]
We love you, girl.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you, you're beautiful.
All right, y'all take care, OK?
-Bye, thank you for coming.
-I love y'all.
I'm here to check in on you, bitch.
-What the fuck happened with you?
-Girl. Long story short--
You're not gonna have to lip synch.
Girl, after last time
seeing six of y'all in the bottom,
bitch, any negative I'm thinking...
Do what you gotta do.
Yeah, so I'm not even gonna
take the chance of leaving--
[A'keria]
That's why I told you to make sure--
Bitch, I didn't come all the way over here
to sit back on the couch and get kicked.
I'm not going home, so, I'm gonna
have to do what I need to do...
-[Silky] I wanna say this to you...
-Yep.
because there was a moment,
like, during the challenge
where, you know, I wasn't my very best
and you uplifted me.
I got to do the same to you.
Do what you gotta do.
We came here for this.
You ain't gotta cry about this, bitch.
I know how it is.
-You got it.
-But you got this.
You're my sister,
and we're here for you.
-Don't you cry.
-No, I'm good.
-You're gonna make me cry, bitch.
-I ain't trying to make you cry,
but, girl, you've been one of the girls
who ride or die for me.
Now, I'm gonna see about
this other shady bitch.
This is your five minute warning,
five minutes.
[Ra'jah] I already know
that I'm gonna be in the bottom
and I'm prepared to lip synch.
I worked so hard to get here.
I really wanna shine and I really wanna
show everybody who Ra'jah is.
[Mercedes] This is real.
It's a competition.
If you fuck it up,
you're gonna be on the bottom.
So, I am here with my A-game, honey.
I'mma show Mama Ru
why I deserve to stay.
[man] All right, ladies,
let's go, let's go.
We walking, we walking.
Follow me.
[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.
Mercedes Iman Diamond,
Ra'jah O'Hara,
the time has come for you
to lip synch for your life.
Ra'jah O'Hara, shantay you stay.
Mercedes Iman Diamonds are forever.
Now, sashay away.
Oh, my... fucking God.
When Mama Ru said, "Sashay away,"
it literally hits you so hard.
Your whole dreams are,
like, taken away from you,
because you give up
everything to be here.
[sighs]
Oh, my God.
It's like I've never been here.
Oh, my God.
First day.
Lies.
I got some letters.
God, I don't wanna get emotional.
"Mercedes, sis I hated to have
to lip synch against you.
It was a pleasure getting to know you.
Season 11 forever."
[trilling]
Oh, God, Ra'jah.
Oh, my God. I love you, Ra'jah.
I'm sad that I'm leaving
all my sisters here...
but this is the beginning of Mercedes.
For those out there, don't give up.
If I didn't make this season,
I would have auditioned for season 12,
or season 13, season 287
if it gets to that point.
Follow your dreams.
You know what, this is one dream I had,
to be on this show.
And, I finally did.
Wow, I'm literally
walking out of the workroom.
Oh, my God,
I'm gonna miss you, workroom.
Bye, workroom.
I'm out.
You know this is once in a lifetime,
but I'm not heartbroken, I'm not...
I'm sad with myself because
Mama Ru picked me
out of thousands of girls.
So, I'm walking out of here
with a smile on my face.
Like, bitches, I made it.
I love you.
This was the beginning
of Mercedes Iman Diamond,
and I will see you guys soon.
