RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 11, Episode 5 - Gay's Anatomy - full transcript
This week's tops have a shady good time until the bottom queens join them and the conversation becomes heated. One of the bottoms thinks one of the tops should be going home, and she's shook about it.
[Lashauwn] This is not
RuPaul's Best Friend Race!
[Laganja] I feel very attacked!
[Vanjie]
I was trying to be cordial with you.
[Silky] If I would have
lip synced for my life today, bitch,
I was ready to do so!
-[upbeat music playing]
-[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.
[male crew member 1]
Break on the main stage! All cameras repo.
[RuPaul] Jan.
Widow Von'Do.
Jackie Cox.
Sherry Pie.
Gigi Goode.
Aiden Zhane.
You are all nominated
for outstanding performance
by a drag queen
in a medical drama.
The winner of this week's challenge is...
Sherry Pie.
Ladies, you may leave the stage.
[intense music playing]
[Aiden] Oh, my God.
This is my first time to be put
in a top of a challenge
and I'm feeling good about myself
and good about my performance
and good about the fact
that I have given the judges
what they have asked for.
To finally be here, I in this moment
couldn't ask for anything more.
[Jackie] I'm definitely happy
I've made it to the top so far
in the two challenges that I feel like
highlight my strengths,
which are the improv
and the acting challenge.
But am I gonna win
one of these challenges?
I'm the Susan Lucci of season 12!
Where is my win?
Where is my Daytime Emmy?
[male crew member 1]
Queens walking. Queens walking.
[female crew member] Here we go.
[male crew member 1]
Untucked cameras rolling.
[speeding]
[upbeat music playing]
-[queens exclaim]
-We did it!
[laughing]
Girl!
[Widow] Can we just talk
about the fact that
-we all are the tops this week?
-That's nice.
Salamati, girls.
And cheers to Miss Sherry Pie.
-[queens exclaim]
-Cheers!
Sailing above us all.
[Sherry] I have an idea for a game.
I think if we're gonna spill tea,
-I have been watching this giant
-[Sherry and Aiden] Shade button?
-[queen screams]
-This whole--
and I think every time
we feel the shade...
somebody has to hit it.
Well, you better hit it,
like, three times
-right now.
-[Jan] I can be Vanna White
-in this situation.
-Again.
-Okay, Jan, you have to be responsible.
-Okay.
-There.
-I'm in a good position to get up and go.
[Sherry] So, I'll come sit with y'all.
All I have to say is...
being able to be
in the top half of the group this week
is just amazing.
[Jackie] I'm not gonna lie,
this may be shady...
[intense music playing]
Not because I thought
your performance was bad...
but I am a little surprised
to see you here.
Only because we had to memorize
a bunch of lines
and the other two who dropped lines,
who are Jaida and Nicky...
they're in the bottom,
and you're not, so...
Hit the button, hit the goddamn button.
-[dramatic sound]
-[imitates dramatic sound]
When I did ask for my lines,
I only asked once,
and then I moved on.
I didn't continue to stumble,
took my deep breath, and I did it.
[sips]
I really, really hope
that I did not steamroll Nicky again.
-[Jan] She chose that role.
-She didn't necessarily...
-ch-- okay, she...
-Oh, no. Here it is!
[queens scream and shout]
Get the shade button ready!
This is not shade. I mean, you can hit
that button as many times as you want,
for fun, but...
-this is not shade.
-[queens laugh]
[dramatic sound]
When we were choosing roles,
I convinced her to be that role.
[Nicky] I think the baby is really iconic,
but...
it doesn't have a lot of... um, lines.
Yeah. Wouldn't it be cool if you were able
to get the baby
with a small amount of lines
and, like, kill it as the baby?
All right, let's go with that.
The judges wanted to see...
her personality, and they wanted
to see her, quote, "weird."
The effort was there.
But I think that she is missing the point.
-She is.
-Because just by painting your face...
in a silly way, doesn't show
that you're silly.
-Yeah.
-You know what I mean?
It doesn't show your walls are down,
and I think that's what she keeps missing.
Honestly, I'm kinda surprised
that Brita is up there.
-[queens overlap]
-'Cause I thought she was very funny.
It's hard because, I think,
we're a really strong season
-in terms of acting.
-This is a fabulous season.
And it was kind of one of those things
where you have to really...
step up.
[intense music playing]
[RuPaul] All right, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
Now while you untuck backstage,
the judges and I will deliberate.
[sighs]
-[Jan] Hi, ladies.
-Back again.
[indistinct chatter]
Cocktail!
[Jackie] How are we feeling?
[sighs]
They said that everybody's
performance was good
and that it came down
to, like, little details,
they said basically, like,
trying to fine tooth comb it in
and see, like, what issues
they could find.
But then the gag was
that they asked us
who should leave tonight.
[Widow] Oh!
-[intense music playing]
-[Jackie] Oh!
Are you guys comfortable saying
who you said?
Yeah, I said Heidi...
and then everybody else chose Nicky.
-Well, I said myself, too.
-Yeah, Nicki did say herself.
[Nicky] I said, based on the acting,
and the fact that I'm competing
with American people...
I think that I delivered
the least because...
obviously, like, I'm not
gonna be at the same level.
If we would've done this in French,
it would be a whole other story.
I knew when it came down to the outfit,
it was going to be me.
I expected... all the other girls
to say me at the end of the day.
It is what it is.
[Sherry] Brita.
You look twisted right now.
I was just shook
that I'm in the bottom again.
When I-- I'm serving you looks,
every single time.
Compared to other people...
and it sucks being up there,
with your sisters,
who you have to say who's gonna go home,
when you think that someone else...
in this room who was safe,
should be going home instead.
[dramatic music playing]
I'm shook about it.
[Jackie] Well, say it, who do you think
should go home?
[Brita] Aiden.
Initially when I came in this competition,
I said that I was not going to compare
myself to anybody,
because I am only in a competition
with myself, but that ain't true, sis.
Because this is a competition.
And I'm working so hard and I'm--
I'm really giving everything that I have
to do this, and I don't think
that Aiden should've been safe.
Also, we did "Three Girls,
One Brain", sis,
and I felt like Sherry and I
were carrying you.
[sips]
We did this last challenge,
I felt like again,
I was carrying you, like,
did you give me an over the top?
Well, bitch, at the end of the day...
I'm sitting here safe.
Do you think that you should be safe?
Like we had discussed
before you girls got here,
going into this challenge,
I did have to ask for my line,
but once I was given my lines,
I moved the fuck on,
-I took a deep breath.
-[Nicky] Wait, wait, wait.
-[Widow] Girl.
-[Jaida] Child.
What it sound like
you're saying is,
like, they gave me my lines,
and I still kept fucking up.
They said, at the end of the day,
I had fucked up my lines,
they could tell I got in my head,
but when I got out of that space,
I delivered.
To be honest, looking at you performing
and looking at Jaida performing,
she should be safe,
and you should be in the bottom.
-This is my thing--
-Can I say one thing...
-Yes, ma'am.
-...and get this out of the way
for the rest of this fucking season?
Because from day fucking one
of this competition,
I have had pretty much everybody
in this goddamn place coming for me.
-[Nicky] Ugh.
-And at the end of the--
I was the first to be picked out with you
-as the weakest.
-Okay, yeah.
I was the one in my group challenge
to be dragged by my own teammates...
-[Heidi] But--
-[Brita] Not dragged...
...as the weakest link.
Let me finish!
Let me finish.
-[Jaida] When did I come for you 'cause--
-Let her finish.
-Let her finish.
-Let me finish!
Well, I just got completely interrupted--
-Regardless of who or whatever...
-Child...
...I have been taking it
from all directions.
Everybody in this competition has been
taking it from all different directions,
-bitch, I took it when I was...
-No!
...the one that challenged
that was not nothin'...
I was comfortable with,
but I still did what the hell I had to do.
[Heidi] Uh, I have to focus
on what I'm doing, I don't have time.
[Heidi] The girls are just being so petty,
messy, and just-- Girl,
I need my personal space.
The constant verbal assault on Aiden
is starting to really piss me off,
and these girls just keep going,
and going, and going, and it...
it's frustrating,
'cause I'm over here, like,
I know I'm 'bout to have to
lip sync for my life,
and y'all are just like, [whiny voice]
"Oh, you should be in the bottom,
you should be in the bottom
'cause of this...
Oh, you should be in the bottom
'cause of this..."
Focus on your damn self!
I'm over it, I'm so done, I--
Bitch, if I go home today,
I'm goin' home.
[Jan] Look at me, look at me.
You're gonna be fine.
But I get you're frustrated.
Just let that out in the performance.
They're focused on Aiden.
Aiden's safe, leave her alone.
-Like...
-Yeah, then you focus on you.
Okay.
[intense music winds down]
If you don't like that I am here
and I am fucking safe today...
-[Jaida] Girl I don't care if you're here.
-[Aiden] I'm not talking to you,
-[Aiden] specifically.
-[Jaida] I'm just saying.
I am talking to everybody as a whole.
Because I have had... multiple people...
and I-- I don't have any like,
hate towards Brita
-or Sherry...
-[Brita] No, I don't.
...for kind of calling me out
in our group challenge.
But at the end of the day...
who gives a shit?
Us because our fucking ass
is about to be kicked out!
-Are you serious?
-I understand that.
When I see you fucking sleeping
for two hours on the couch
when I'm working my ass on an outfit--
And I was in the bottom that challenge,
-wasn't I?
-Of course I'm gonna be mad--
[Brita] No, but I'm the one
that had to lip sync.
Like, I worked so hard on that
while you were sleeping.
[shouting] At the end of the day,
it doesn't fucking matter, okay?
The bitch is safe,
leave her the fuck alone.
I'mma worry about Heidi right now, okay?
-Like I said--
-Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
-and fuck you! I'mma worry about Heidi.
-[Jaida] What is that about?
[dramatic sound]
-What is all of this about?
-Y'all gotta leave it alone.
Leave her alone, she's clearly bothered.
Nobody's attacking her.
Y'all have been calling out my name
this entire time,
what do you mean,
"Nobody's attacking her?"
Aiden, Aiden, Aiden, Aiden,
Aiden, Aiden, Aiden.
We just-- We are having a conversation,
and had you not interrupted me so rudely,
I would've been able to finish
my statement, like I was going to.
[Jaida] What I had said, was...
was that the judges have asked you
for personality,
and they wanted to see who you were.
And you showed something different,
and you showed something
that they were looking for.
I'm not trying to get on your back--
-I was just saying as a whole...
-[Jaida] Yeah.
[Aiden] I am the one person
in this competition
who has been called out
or pointed at multiple fucking times.
-And that is fine.
-Yeah.
If everybody here thinks
I am the weak link...
great.
Then let me be the fucking weak link.
And I will go home when I go home.
But you have to understand,
being that one person
who is constantly being pointed at,
or whatever, gets fucking tiring.
[slurps drink]
I want to talk to you.
It's not that I care if these other girls
have an opinion about me,
have your opinions, give your critiques.
But in a moment where I have been
put in the top of a challenge,
I don't need these other bitches
trying to tear me down,
because they're feeling poorly
about themselves
or not knowing what they need to do
to rise to the occasion.
When we were called forward,
and you guys weren't,
I had no idea what to think
and who was going to be safe
and who wasn't.
This is one of my favorite looks
that you've ever worn.
-And did you get critiqued on this look?
-I mean, yeah.
Michelle said she didn't like this,
it looks like I'm going to the club,
I was like, "Okay, sis, what girl's going
to the club in this?"
I can't change what I brought
or who I am,
I think I look great.
I don't understand it.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know. I just-- I--
It's just so upsetting.
You have to consider that like,
I was in almost every scene,
like, sis... [angry groan]
Doesn't that say anything?
Anything? Like, bitch, I've been training
for this shit.
And I'm like, ready, and I just keep on
ending up in the bottom.
[high-pitched] Keep on ending up
in the bottom.
I haven't even won anything yet.
[Brita] It's crazy.
Bitch, I've won New York City's
Entertainer of the Year,
I mean, I always work so hard
to always be at the top.
I don't belong in the bottom.
That's not me. I'm not that girl.
Fuck, bitch, like...
I can't--
If I have to say the weakest link...
[stammering] Aiden.
I'm so confused.
I literally said that
to everybody in the room,
I was like, "I'm so surprised
that Brita is there."
You, in my mind, stepped up
from where you were last week.
It is made apparent to me
that we can't play nice anymore.
Like, people are dropping like flies
and we're going one by one.
Like, we can be cordial to each other,
but like, I am not playing,
I am-- I-- this is a game now.
I thought I was playing the game,
but I guess not.
Take control.
[Brita] Girl, this is about to get real.
The competition is fierce,
like, so fierce.
But I'm not going
to be in the bottom again.
So, when Aiden ends up in the bottom,
I hope that she's going up against
one of the other girls
that has the fire behind
their eyes, like I do.
So that they can send her home.
You wanna play the big girl game,
the RuPaul Drag Race big girl game?
Play the game, sis.
I. Came. Here. To. Win!
Yeah.
[music intensifies]
[Jackie] I see both sides of this.
-Thank you.
-[Jackie] You're not wrong
that a lot of energy was directed at you.
Why we've been feeling this way...
I think, and I could be wrong...
is because we haven't had that true...
-The same connection with me.
-...sister connection with you.
[intense music playing]
[Jackie]
Aiden is very stuck in her ways, and...
I don't think she trusts the rest of us.
She thinks we all come
from these big cities...
where drag is
something totally different...
but it's like, girl...
it may not be RuPaul's Best Friend Race...
but it has to be RuPaul's Colleague
and Coworker Race.
This is not a solo competition
until you're at the very, very end.
You haven't, like, come up
to any of us to kiki with us,
so we're not gonna, I guess,
have your back in this scenario.
-But this is where this is coming from.
-[Nicky] Yeah.
Oooh. I'm gonna bring Sherry
her cocktail, she left it here.
-[Heidi] You all right, Miss Thing?
-Good.
[Heidi]I'm going home.
No way.
Listen to me.
They love what they see about you,
I am incredibly proud of you...
do not underestimate yourself
because you don't have...
a fucking $2,000 costume.
I think your performance was strong,
and what I love is that you pour your soul
into every single performance
that you're doing.
Don't doubt yourself.
If you have to lip sync,
lip sync! And may the best woman win,
and it's fine. But do not doubt yourself.
I don't think I have
any more chance than you.
And don't mess up my armor
because I try to chrome it
-as much as I can.
-[Heidi laughs]
-I love you and I'm proud of you, okay?
-I love you, too.
Queens, five minutes.
Five minutes for the runway.
[dramatic music playing]
[Nicky] At this point,
I'm starting to get in my head.
But at the same time,
I feel iconic, I feel great.
And if I have to lip sync,
I'm gonna let them have it.
[Heidi] I am upset, I am confused.
I had just started getting some traction
in this competition,
I got shot back down.
I want to ride this bus
till the wheels fall off!
I did not come here just to go home.
I don't want to go home.
Queens, runway time.
-[chatter]
-[Jan] We're going back to the runway.
-[Jackie] This way, this way.
-[Gigi] This way.
[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Nicky Doll.
Heidi.
The time has come...
for you to lip sync...
for... your... life!
Heidi.
Shantay, you stay.
Nicky Doll...
we have to say au revoir...
Now. sashay away.
[emotional music playing]
[Nicky] It is incredibly painful
to be on that stage
and finally realizing this dream,
and being stuck for something
that you can't really control.
I have a language barrier.
And I can feel like a prisoner
in my own...
drag persona.
And my inside just wants to, like, scream,
and showcase who I am, but...
it was not easy...
It's sad. And it's really frustrating.
[whispers] Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm gonna miss that place.
Awww.
Heidi.
"Dear Nicky, I love you so much.
Getting to meet you has been
one of the best times of my life.
I am saddened that we had to lip sync,
but I know it's just the beginning
of a beautiful friendship.
Almost as beautiful
as you and your soul.
Remember to stay... soft and supple.
Love, Heidi." Awww.
We've built something so special.
And I thought I didn't get to
show enough who I am,
but by reading those letters,
I really feel like I've shown...
my personality and my heart,
so it's just... humbling.
All right, Heidi, you get my
Nicki Minaj wig that I didn't wear.
I'm sure you're gonna
slay it better than me.
This is for you, my love.
I really learned that...
you can be a look queen,
but you can also not take
yourself too seriously.
Oh, my God.
Let's go home.
It's time to not be scared
of being ridiculous,
and use all my quirkiness
and fun and weirdness and French...
to--to stand out.
And from now...
I'm gonna use my weakness as my strength.
[groans]
[sighs]
From France to America and now the world.
Thank you.

with myself, but that ain't true, sis.
Because this is a competition.
And I'm working so hard and I'm--
I'm really giving everything that I have
to do this, and I don't think
that Aiden should've been safe.
Also, we did "Three Girls,
One Brain", sis,
and I felt like Sherry and I
were carrying you.
[sips]
We did this last challenge,
I felt like again,
I was carrying you, like,
did you give me an over the top?
Well, bitch, at the end of the day...
I'm sitting here safe.
Do you think that you should be safe?
Like we had discussed
before you girls got here,
going into this challenge,
I did have to ask for my line,
but once I was given my lines,
I moved the fuck on,
-I took a deep breath.
-[Nicky] Wait, wait, wait.
-[Widow] Girl.
-[Jaida] Child.
What it sound like
you're saying is,
like, they gave me my lines,
and I still kept fucking up.
They said, at the end of the day,
I had fucked up my lines,
they could tell I got in my head,
but when I got out of that space,
I delivered.
To be honest, looking at you performing
and looking at Jaida performing,
she should be safe,
and you should be in the bottom.
-This is my thing--
-Can I say one thing...
-Yes, ma'am.
-...and get this out of the way
for the rest of this fucking season?
Because from day fucking one
of this competition,
I have had pretty much everybody
in this goddamn place coming for me.
-[Nicky] Ugh.
-And at the end of the--
I was the first to be picked out with you
-as the weakest.
-Okay, yeah.
I was the one in my group challenge
to be dragged by my own teammates...
-[Heidi] But--
-[Brita] Not dragged...
...as the weakest link.
Let me finish!
Let me finish.
-[Jaida] When did I come for you 'cause--
-Let her finish.
-Let her finish.
-Let me finish!
Well, I just got completely interrupted--
-Regardless of who or whatever...
-Child...
...I have been taking it
from all directions.
Everybody in this competition has been
taking it from all different directions,
-bitch, I took it when I was...
-No!
...the one that challenged
that was not nothin'...
I was comfortable with,
but I still did what the hell I had to do.
[Heidi] Uh, I have to focus
on what I'm doing, I don't have time.
[Heidi] The girls are just being so petty,
messy, and just-- Girl,
I need my personal space.
The constant verbal assault on Aiden
is starting to really piss me off,
and these girls just keep going,
and going, and going, and it...
it's frustrating,
'cause I'm over here, like,
I know I'm 'bout to have to
lip sync for my life,
and y'all are just like, [whiny voice]
"Oh, you should be in the bottom,
you should be in the bottom
'cause of this...
Oh, you should be in the bottom
'cause of this..."
Focus on your damn self!
I'm over it, I'm so done, I--
Bitch, if I go home today,
I'm goin' home.
[Jan] Look at me, look at me.
You're gonna be fine.
But I get you're frustrated.
Just let that out in the performance.
They're focused on Aiden.
Aiden's safe, leave her alone.
-Like...
-Yeah, then you focus on you.
Okay.
[intense music winds down]
If you don't like that I am here
and I am fucking safe today...
-[Jaida] Girl I don't care if you're here.
-[Aiden] I'm not talking to you,
-[Aiden] specifically.
-[Jaida] I'm just saying.
I am talking to everybody as a whole.
Because I have had... multiple people...
and I-- I don't have any like,
hate towards Brita
-or Sherry...
-[Brita] No, I don't.
...for kind of calling me out
in our group challenge.
But at the end of the day...
who gives a shit?
Us because our fucking ass
is about to be kicked out!
-Are you serious?
-I understand that.
When I see you fucking sleeping
for two hours on the couch
when I'm working my ass on an outfit--
And I was in the bottom that challenge,
-wasn't I?
-Of course I'm gonna be mad--
[Brita] No, but I'm the one
that had to lip sync.
Like, I worked so hard on that
while you were sleeping.
[shouting] At the end of the day,
it doesn't fucking matter, okay?
The bitch is safe,
leave her the fuck alone.
I'mma worry about Heidi right now, okay?
-Like I said--
-Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
-and fuck you! I'mma worry about Heidi.
-[Jaida] What is that about?
[dramatic sound]
-What is all of this about?
-Y'all gotta leave it alone.
Leave her alone, she's clearly bothered.
Nobody's attacking her.
Y'all have been calling out my name
this entire time,
what do you mean,
"Nobody's attacking her?"
Aiden, Aiden, Aiden, Aiden,
Aiden, Aiden, Aiden.
We just-- We are having a conversation,
and had you not interrupted me so rudely,
I would've been able to finish
my statement, like I was going to.
[Jaida] What I had said, was...
was that the judges have asked you
for personality,
and they wanted to see who you were.
And you showed something different,
and you showed something
that they were looking for.
I'm not trying to get on your back--
-I was just saying as a whole...
-[Jaida] Yeah.
[Aiden] I am the one person
in this competition
who has been called out
or pointed at multiple fucking times.
-And that is fine.
-Yeah.
If everybody here thinks
I am the weak link...
great.
Then let me be the fucking weak link.
And I will go home when I go home.
But you have to understand,
being that one person
who is constantly being pointed at,
or whatever, gets fucking tiring.
[slurps drink]
I want to talk to you.
It's not that I care if these other girls
have an opinion about me,
have your opinions, give your critiques.
But in a moment where I have been
put in the top of a challenge,
I don't need these other bitches
trying to tear me down,
because they're feeling poorly
about themselves
or not knowing what they need to do
to rise to the occasion.
When we were called forward,
and you guys weren't,
I had no idea what to think
and who was going to be safe
and who wasn't.
This is one of my favorite looks
that you've ever worn.
-And did you get critiqued on this look?
-I mean, yeah.
Michelle said she didn't like this,
it looks like I'm going to the club,
I was like, "Okay, sis, what girl's going
to the club in this?"
I can't change what I brought
or who I am,
I think I look great.
I don't understand it.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know. I just-- I--
It's just so upsetting.
You have to consider that like,
I was in almost every scene,
like, sis... [angry groan]
Doesn't that say anything?
Anything? Like, bitch, I've been training
for this shit.
And I'm like, ready, and I just keep on
ending up in the bottom.
[high-pitched] Keep on ending up
in the bottom.
I haven't even won anything yet.
[Brita] It's crazy.
Bitch, I've won New York City's
Entertainer of the Year,
I mean, I always work so hard
to always be at the top.
I don't belong in the bottom.
That's not me. I'm not that girl.
Fuck, bitch, like...
I can't--
If I have to say the weakest link...
[stammering] Aiden.
I'm so confused.
I literally said that
to everybody in the room,
I was like, "I'm so surprised
that Brita is there."
You, in my mind, stepped up
from where you were last week.
It is made apparent to me
that we can't play nice anymore.
Like, people are dropping like flies
and we're going one by one.
Like, we can be cordial to each other,
but like, I am not playing,
I am-- I-- this is a game now.
I thought I was playing the game,
but I guess not.
Take control.
[Brita] Girl, this is about to get real.
The competition is fierce,
like, so fierce.
But I'm not going
to be in the bottom again.
So, when Aiden ends up in the bottom,
I hope that she's going up against
one of the other girls
that has the fire behind
their eyes, like I do.
So that they can send her home.
You wanna play the big girl game,
the RuPaul Drag Race big girl game?
Play the game, sis.
I. Came. Here. To. Win!
Yeah.
[music intensifies]
[Jackie] I see both sides of this.
-Thank you.
-[Jackie] You're not wrong
that a lot of energy was directed at you.
Why we've been feeling this way...
I think, and I could be wrong...
is because we haven't had that true...
-The same connection with me.
-...sister connection with you.
[intense music playing]
[Jackie]
Aiden is very stuck in her ways, and...
I don't think she trusts the rest of us.
She thinks we all come
from these big cities...
where drag is
something totally different...
but it's like, girl...
it may not be RuPaul's Best Friend Race...
but it has to be RuPaul's Colleague
and Coworker Race.
This is not a solo competition
until you're at the very, very end.
You haven't, like, come up
to any of us to kiki with us,
so we're not gonna, I guess,
have your back in this scenario.
-But this is where this is coming from.
-[Nicky] Yeah.
Oooh. I'm gonna bring Sherry
her cocktail, she left it here.
-[Heidi] You all right, Miss Thing?
-Good.
[Heidi]I'm going home.
No way.
Listen to me.
They love what they see about you,
I am incredibly proud of you...
do not underestimate yourself
because you don't have...
a fucking $2,000 costume.
I think your performance was strong,
and what I love is that you pour your soul
into every single performance
that you're doing.
Don't doubt yourself.
If you have to lip sync,
lip sync! And may the best woman win,
and it's fine. But do not doubt yourself.
I don't think I have
any more chance than you.
And don't mess up my armor
because I try to chrome it
-as much as I can.
-[Heidi laughs]
-I love you and I'm proud of you, okay?
-I love you, too.
Queens, five minutes.
Five minutes for the runway.
[dramatic music playing]
[Nicky] At this point,
I'm starting to get in my head.
But at the same time,
I feel iconic, I feel great.
And if I have to lip sync,
I'm gonna let them have it.
[Heidi] I am upset, I am confused.
I had just started getting some traction
in this competition,
I got shot back down.
I want to ride this bus
till the wheels fall off!
I did not come here just to go home.
I don't want to go home.
Queens, runway time.
-[chatter]
-[Jan] We're going back to the runway.
-[Jackie] This way, this way.
-[Gigi] This way.
[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Nicky Doll.
Heidi.
The time has come...
for you to lip sync...
for... your... life!
Heidi.
Shantay, you stay.
Nicky Doll...
we have to say au revoir...
Now. sashay away.
[emotional music playing]
[Nicky] It is incredibly painful
to be on that stage
and finally realizing this dream,
and being stuck for something
that you can't really control.
I have a language barrier.
And I can feel like a prisoner
in my own...
drag persona.
And my inside just wants to, like, scream,
and showcase who I am, but...
it was not easy...
It's sad. And it's really frustrating.
[whispers] Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm gonna miss that place.
Awww.
Heidi.
"Dear Nicky, I love you so much.
Getting to meet you has been
one of the best times of my life.
I am saddened that we had to lip sync,
but I know it's just the beginning
of a beautiful friendship.
Almost as beautiful
as you and your soul.
Remember to stay... soft and supple.
Love, Heidi." Awww.
We've built something so special.
And I thought I didn't get to
show enough who I am,
but by reading those letters,
I really feel like I've shown...
my personality and my heart,
so it's just... humbling.
All right, Heidi, you get my
Nicki Minaj wig that I didn't wear.
I'm sure you're gonna
slay it better than me.
This is for you, my love.
I really learned that...
you can be a look queen,
but you can also not take
yourself too seriously.
Oh, my God.
Let's go home.
It's time to not be scared
of being ridiculous,
and use all my quirkiness
and fun and weirdness and French...
to--to stand out.
And from now...
I'm gonna use my weakness as my strength.
[groans]
[sighs]
From France to America and now the world.
