Lashauwn Beyond: This is not
RuPaul's Best Friend
Race.disclaimer precedes

Laganja Estranja:
I feel very attacked!

Vanjie: I was trying
to reach closure with you!

Silky: If I would've lip synced
for my life today, bitch,

I was ready to do so!

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.

Director: Break
on the main stage

All cameras re-po.



RuPaul: Heidi.

Jaida Essence Hall.

Jan.

The Widow Von'Du.

Ladies, you are all safe.

You may leave the stage.

Snatch Game is the do-or-die
moment in the competition,

and I'm not gonna lie.

My Snatch Game wasn't
as great as I wanted it to be,

so I'm glad that I am safe.

This is now
the fourth week in a row

where I'm not talking
to the judges.

I'm not getting the critiques,

I'm not seeing
what I can change.



But I know that
if the judges really thought

that I was doing a bad job,

they would put me
in the bottom.

So I know that I'm doing well
in the competition.

But I don't wanna just do well,
I wanna do great.graphic

-Queens walking.
-Marker.

Releasing queens for Untucked.

Send the queens
in three, two, one--

-Bitch.
-Child.

We been--aah!

Hello, ladies!
Hello, ladies!

Child, I'm getting my life.
Vanjie's back.

Vanjie came here to tell us

what we should not do
in the Snatch Game,

because she had done
the Snatch Game,

and she had not done it well.

I'm so happy
to see her back here.

Fancy meeting you here.

-Hi.
-Vanjie.

I brought the Bubly
sparkling water.

I hope you bringing the drama.

-We got it.
-Always, baby, always.

Grab a glass of this
delicious blackberry smash,

and let's get sexy.

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

For making it
through Snatch, baby.

Okay, baby.

I'm excited that
I get to be here with y'all.

Well, I feel honored, honestly.

Ooh!

I did get to watch
y'all's Snatch Game.

Yeah.

I just understand
how y'all were feeling.

When we got ready
for Snatch Game,

everybody was, like, ooh, bitch,
if you don't win--

if you not doing
Snatch Game right,

that's gonna let you know
who is good and who not good.

-Hello?
-Miss Tinta Turntur,

if you are watching this,

I am sorry that
I could not make you funny.

Tinta Turntur is in the house.

-Sorry, I tried.
-And Ike.

-He's dead.
-[laughs]

That is the fact.

I just sympathize.
Like, it's so scary.

But a critique or a bad episode,

that doesn't define you,
you know what I'm saying?

Like, it's okay to fuck up,
we're human.

It's not about how you fall,
it's about how you get back up.

All those things we've already
heard plenty of times.

How do you feel, Jan,
being up here?

Because I know you work hard,
and I loved your Bernadette.

Thank you.

There's no business
like show business,

so let's send in the clowns!

Wait. They're already here.

Yeah.
[all laugh]

I get why I'm not in the top.

I'm more so upset
with just, like,

I have not talked to the judges
since the first week here.

Oh, shit.

I feel like I'm turning,
like, really fun looks,

and I wanna talk to them
about it.

I didn't come here to fly
under the radar and be safe.

Wait, now, hold on.

Don't dwell on,
like, the negative.

Like, also think about the
good stuff that is happening,

like you've made it this far.

I know that I have
a lot to offer.

So, yeah,
I was upset for myself,

and I want to be able
to do better.

I didn't come here
to just be safe.

I came here to be a winner.

When RuPaul
was giving y'all advice,

I was listening to him as well.

I was like, mm-hmm, yeah, mm.

Because honestly, you know,
you never--what is the phrase?

Somebody give me a phrase.

You learn something new
every day?

About the old dog

could still learn new tricks
or some shit.

An old dog
can still learn new tricks.

Yeah, so I was listening,
and you know,

just to give you guys,
like, a little bit of--

Make comfort.

Like, "Oh, girl, I've been
in your shoes" type of thing.

-It was very comforting.
-And that was very comforting,

like, knowing that
we're going into this.

Because usually the girls
don't get nobody to talk to

that's been through this before.

Trust.

When you come to North Carolina,
I will take care of you.

Stay away from Penelope.

She's the 14th queen
this season.

That's what her friends
named her dick.

[all laugh]

Oh, no, no, no!

Like, this bitch done brought
her Penelope Penis.

Penelope P. Penis.

[high-pitched trill]

Aah!

She's very royal, regal.

[whistling]
Soft and supple.

I'm so fucked.

[all laugh]

I love you guys. Have fun.

-Bye, Vanjie.
-Aah!

Bye, Vanjie!

-Hey, bitch! Mwah!
-[laughs]

Child, we needed that.

That lifted my spirits so much.

That was everything.

RuPaul: Thank you, ladies.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

You may leave the stage.graphic

What'd I miss?

-Hey.
-Ooh, ooh!

-Oh!
-Wow.

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Bubly.

What are we--
what are we talking about?

Who do y'all think
is in the top and bottom?

I think the top is clearly going
to be Gigi, Jackie, and Sherry.

Correct.

They tore me apart tonight.

I definitely got
the harshest critiques.

You think so?

I don't think so, I know so.

Oh.

[slurps]

Honestly, this should have
happened a long time ago.

I don't even think Aiden
wants to be here.

We all have our strengths
and weaknesses, but, like, damn.

Lazy people get on my nerves.

I'm going to be honest
about you, Aiden.

The only difference
between you and the other girls

who have been
consistently in the bottom

is that I'm not seeing,
like, a drive in you.

I mean, that's why I've been
so upset the past two weeks.

I honestly--the last two weeks,

I don't think that I deserved
to be in the bottom.

You're an Entertainer
of the Year in New York City.

I think you are using that
as an excuse.

No, I mean, I get that.

It's a thing--you know,
but we are all big queens.

Child.shade

I'm over getting hard on myself
about things

just because
I'm putting in the effort.

And I did the best
that I could have done

within my given circumstances.

There's also no point
of you going back and forth

being like, "I could have done
this,
I should have done that."

Like, you did what you did.

Putting yourself through it

is just gonna make it
worse and worse and worse

throughout the competition.

Like, I love drag so much,
and I have so much fun doing it,

but all of these challenges,
you know, I mean--

But this is the challenge

that we all had
the most time to prepare for.

We have known
that this is coming.

We prepared for it.

But sometimes, in the fucking
moment, you can't be prepared.

Like, I worked and worked
on my Snatch Game characters

for the longest fucking time.

But when it's in the moment,

you never know
what the fuck's gonna happen.

It just fucking happens.

We're not you, you're not me.

Because if this was
a dance challenge,

I'd wear
most of you bitches out.

Hey, look,
I don't wanna keep poking you,

but I guess my only thing is

I think you're
a better improv actress

than it seems like
you think you are.

That's all it is for me,

is like I know you're stronger
than yesterday's performance.

But that's me as me,
not being someone else.

I don't do characters, I don't
do improv, I don't do that.

-But, but, but--
-But nothing.

But it's not
a character challenge.

-Yes, it is.
-No, it's not.

You could literally be,
like, Tina Turner,

hey, what's
your favorite ice cream?

Who the fuck knows?
But you can say it.

Like, I'm just saying
that you are, like,

getting very defensive
about saying--

Because you keep saying the same
shit over and over again.

Exactly.

I don't do characters,
I don't do improv.

The thing is is that it's easy
for y'all to say that

because this is, like,
something that y'all do.

And like, no matter--

like, even when you come
to the competition,

and even when you know

that you're gonna
have to do something,

that does not mean
you're gonna be good at it.

I could sit here at home

and be like, googling
for hours and hours and hours,

and still not know my character.

I can show you my notes.

I have eight Snatch Game
characters written down,

and the strongest one
I was prepared for

that I thought was
was Tina Turner.

My only frustration

is that I feel like
this cast is so talented,

I want us all to do so well.

And I felt like last week we had
such a strong cast performance.

So that is really
where I'm coming from.

That's not fair to them, because
some things happen in the moment

that can shake
someone's confidence,

can shake what they had
prepared, can shake anything.

Not everybody's going to do
amazing on every challenge.

Yes, we all did amazing
last week, and guess what?

Someone still
ended up on the bottom.

It was I.

The people who have
been in the bottom,

the judges have been telling you
what they want to see from you.

And the only person
who's been doing that,

in my eyes, has been Crystal.

She changed her makeup
for the judges.

And you're
a sickening performer,

but they've told you
week after week

that you have to improve
on your face.

My one critique about my face
was from Nicki.

I hate, hate, hate
your hair and makeup today.

The other judges have never
said anything about my face.

They agreed with Nicki.

It is what it is.

And I have been
working on my makeup.

So to hear that you feel like

you haven't seen
any improvement whatsoever

is, like, a slap in the face.

Because I have beat myself up

about my makeup
this whole season.

Because I've been telling myself
I feel ugly this whole season.

And, no, my makeup
may not be the best,

but I didn't come here

to prove anything
to not one of you bitches.

Ooh.

This bitch, Miss Gigi Goode.

You're sitting here saying
that I'm not hearing

what the judges are saying
is complete bullshit.

I have taken
every single critique,

and I've been
working on my makeup.

So clearly, you have not
been paying attention.

-You all right, bitch?
-I'm good. I'm over it.

Look, all I gotta say is, look,
makeup comes, makeup goes.

It took me forever
to get this mug,

and it's still not right to me.
Like--

That was fucked up, even after
I've been working hard.

I know my makeup's not the best.
I've been working on that.

I've been the underdog since
day one, and I'm tired of it.

Fuck my drag, right?

I'm tired of these bitches

underestimating me
and bullshit.

Pretty much my whole life
I have had issues

with seeing myself
as an attractive person.

The only time I do feel like
I'm pretty is when I'm in drag.

So to hear that Gigi

doesn't feel like my makeup
is up to par

and I haven't been
trying to work on it

is like a dagger in my heart.

Because I'm like, well, damn,

I'm just like the ugly duckling
of the season.

Girl, I need you to listen
to me, okay?

You said what you said, Gigi.

-We don't even go here!
-Hey, hey, hey.

-Hi!
-Hi, boys!

-Hi!
-Hi!

Okay, I wanna talk
about this later, okay?

What's up, everybody?
How we doing?

Things were a little heated,
but we're good.

-Yeah?
-You guys just missed a fight.

A fight? Really?

Who's fighting?
Who's fighting?

You came in
at just the right time.

Complete this sentence
right now: I am feeling...

We are hashing out
in this very moment.

Guys, so we're reporting live,
where they are hashing it out

currently on RuPaul's
Drag Race: Untucked.

Emotions right now
are very high.

You can start fighting
about an argument,

but just remember,
this is about you.

It's not about
the family right now.

This ain't
RuPaul's Friend Race.

[laughs]

Keep the eye of the tiger,

because somebody here is
America's next drag superstar.

And you just have to, like,
keep that fight,

because you guys
are in a competition.

You're in a contest.
You're in a race.

And just remember,
I'll be at the finale,

and I will be rooting you on.

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

All right, have fun!
Good luck!

-Bye!
-Thank you!

Girls, are we good?
Do we hate each other now?

Are we friends still?

Child.

Well... [sighs]

We're all struggling with
something in this competition.

Yeah.

And the thing that I have
been definitely battling

since I've arrived here

is the whole withdrawn
kind of personality thing.

I mean, there's gonna come
a point in this competition

where you almost have to
force yourself to be more vocal

and to be just
more outwardly present

with who you are
as a drag queen.

Because otherwise,
you're just going to get

further and further and further
behind each and every queen,

and the judges aren't even
gonna see you anymore.

I don't think
it'll go on that long.

I think you'll go home.

But that's resigning yourself,
and that's what I don't get.

We didn't come here
to give up this easily.

Yeah.

Literally, last night
was the worst night

that I have had here so far.

I went back to my room,
and there was a lot of tears

and a lot of self-talks
that I had with myself.

And it all wraps
right back around

to that whole personality thing.

And it's not an excuse,
it's a fact.

Oh, girl. Child.

All right, queens, five minutes.

Thank you, Five.

-I love it.
-Ooh!

Here we go.

I am the one person
in this competition

struggling more
than the other girls.

I am disappointed,

but I am just trying
to keep my mind on-track,

because I do not want
to go home.

It sucks that
I'm in the bottom again,

but if I have to lip sync,
I need to breathe,

and then, like,
start it brand-new

and realize that
this is the new chance

for me to prove myself
to Ru and the judges.

All right, queens,
let's head to the runway.

All right.

This way, girls.graphic

RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.

Brita, Aiden,
the time has come...

for you to lip sync...

for...

your life!

Brita...

shantay you stay.

Aiden, you are a queen
with a special power.

Never let it go.

Now sashay away.

From the moment I arrived
at this competition,

I have struggled
to stay out of my head

and stay out of my own way.

I have been
continuously underestimated

and I was picked
as the weakest link

and it was hard for me
to make real friendships.

[sighs] Oh.

Oh, my God, so many notes.
[chuckles]

Heidi.

"Dear Aiden,
I love you so much.

"I'm sad to see you leave

because you left me here
with these big-city queens."

[laughs]

"I'm going
to continue to represent

"for the small-town queens,
but most importantly, for you.

"Remember,
stay beautiful, unique,

"and always soft and sssupple.

Love, Heidi."

Aw.

It sucks going home this early.

I wish I'd had more time

to open up and get
to know the other girls.

Even though certain times I was
misunderstood in some ways,

I still think they all are
really great fucking people,

and I can't wait
to get to know them more.

So thank you, everybody.

The one thing I can definitely
walk away from this knowing

is that it doesn't matter
where you come from

or what your background is

or what level of experience
you have.

You know, if you have
something within yourself

that you know
is worth showing to the world,

then you need to fucking own it
and find that voice

to just be
who you authentically are.

If I scream when there's
no queens around to hear it,

does it still make a sound?

Aaaaaah!

I may not be as big and as loud
as some of these other girls,

but I'm really proud of myself.

Just because I'm quiet
doesn't mean shit.

Because I kept up
with these other queens,

and I did it on my own.

You haven't seen the last of me,
ladies and gents.
