RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 12, Episode 8 - Social Media: The Unverified Rusical - full transcript

After the queens star in a social media-themed musical, Olivia Lux does a backstage ruveal, Rose and Denali clear the air after fighting over a role, and the bottoms prepare for battle.

This is not
RuPaul's Best Friend Race.

I feel very attacked!

Ooh, yes.

Well, we made it.

I have had everybody in this
goddamn place coming for me.

This isUntucked,

backstage at the competition

to become America's
next drag superstar.

Girl, if you're not
watchingUntucked,

you're only getting
half the story.

Break on the main stage.



All cameras re-po.

Welcome, queens.

When I call your name,
please step forward.

Olivia.

Utica.

Elliott.

Ladies, you are safe.

You may leave the stage.

I am so happy to be safe.

I thought, like, 100%

I was gonna be in the bottom.

And so I am just ecstatic

that I get to join
the other girls in the back,

and I am just
on top of the world.



I have pretty mixed emotions
about being safe this week

because it's another
dance challenge

that I didn't feel like
I stood out in.

And that's pretty frustrating

because this is what I do.

I really thought
I could win this challenge.

All cameras up.

Copy that. Here we go.

We got the queens walking.

Mark.

Oh, my God.

I'm so confused.

I'm so ready to talk about this.

This is ♪ crazy ♪

Girl, I'm so shook right now.

Do you guys not go through,
like, 15 emotions.

At the exact same time
when they were just calling us?

- Absolutely.
- Literally.

Please, someone shed some light

on who is these tops
and bottoms,

because I have no idea.

I don't either.

I thought that I
was in the bottom this week.

I'm not gonna lie.
I thought you were, too.

But I think you did
a really, really good job.

It's just like now
it's nitty gritty,

and, like, it's like
every little detail.

And I feel like everyone
out there really slayed.

I think the Russians killed it.

I think the Russians
absolutely killed it.

I think both of them
are in the top.

Tina led the whole
fucking show, though.

The thing is,
I feel like the em-she

was another one of those roles

that they might be looking
for everything with that.

She had so much content
to learn,

and I've done
new musicals before.

I've done, like, original things

where you have to just, like,

fly by the seat
of a random recording

of someone else singing.

I've done that before

and know how difficult it is

and I knew the em-she
was going to be a role

that really,
you have to know, like...

The ins, the outs,
the ups and downs.

- All of it.
- Everything.

And I think
she really pulled it off.

I thought that Rosé
killed the cascade.

Oh, she killed
the shit out of it.

So good.

Is there anybody out there
that you think

you know is in the bottom?

'Cause I think I know one person

- that I'm just like...
- Who?

I feel like Symone
struggled this week.

She did. Like...

Oh, I'm gonna hate
to see her in the bottom.

- Yeah.
- Jesus.

Like, do we have
to send people home?

Yes.

We could just...

- Goodbye!
- Girl.

We could just give me
the crown and the 100,000

and we could all stay.

Oh, is that how
she really feels?

Is that how she feels?

Well, I wanna win.

Now, how do you feel
about being safe this week?

'Cause last week, you...

I was in the bottom last week.

You were in the bottom
last week and...

You were
in the bottom last week.

Yeah, I had to lip sync,
and it was traumatizing.

I couldn't stand it.
It was whatever.

This week,
I am a little frustrated

because being a dancer

I haven't really, like,
won any dance challenges.

And so,
it's kind of frustrating.

I know you had mentioned
you were, like, the underdog

a few weeks ago.

Do you still feel like that?

I still have that, like,
underlining feeling.

Like, okay, I'm, like,
the red-headed stepchild.

But, like, how do you feel now?

Right now, I'm honestly
in this mindset

of I'm just here to do me.

Like, I love talking to you.

I love talking to you.

I love getting to know
you guys both so much.

But I'm here to compete
in a competition

and showcase my best

and be the best me
that I can be,

and not focus on, like,
oh, who's hanging out with who?

Who's creating cliques?

Like, that was
kind of a thing that...

I mean, it's that
little kid in me.

After opening up to Tina

about what I've been
going through

and what I've been feeling,

I realized I need to just, like,

stop trying so hard.

Like, I need to just do me

and realize who I am.

For me, it's not really
cliques within the group.

It's mostly the group
and then me.

I feel as though

I've been really retracting
from the rest of the group.

- Really?
- Yeah, absolutely.

Oh.

But I feel like I'm struggling

in the group setting.

I feel the same way.

I've made it known
that my door is open.

Just in general.
You, too, Utica.

You already know.
You already know.

Utica's taking me out
on a date after this.

I don't know if you don't...
You know this...

I would love
to take you out on a date.

You've said we're on a date
right now in the van

and then you were, like,
I don't think...

She was, like, where
do you really wanna go?

And you were, like,
I don't think

there's gonna be a second date.

So cliques-wise,

we have the Bald Head Brigade.

Kandy Muse, Miss Symone,

and LaLa Ri. Yes.

We have the Winning Circle.

And then you called
yourselves, what, Team B?

The Porkchop Girls.

- Team B.
- I called them B Squad.

B Squad.

Once Mik referred
to herself, Tina, and Kandy

as the Mean Girls.

- Hands in the middle.
- All right.

Mean Girls on three.
One, two, three.

- Mean Girls.
- Mean Girls.

You had a few nicknames.

Do I really?

Had. Past tense.

Oh, everybody
called me the mole.

- The mole.
- The mole.

Elliott the spy.

Elliott the spy.
I love Elliott the spy.

I've been called the Sweden.

The Sweden?

The Sweden.

The country that's neutral
with everybody.

That's Switzerland, bitch.

Switzerland! Shit!

You know what?

Girl, no one else
calls you that.

Like, no one else would
think of something like this

except Miss Utica.

Now that we're in Untucked...

You know what?
I'm not gonna get up.

I was gonna show my reveal
of the outfit,

because this turns
into something else.

Is that a reveal?

Yes, child.

Girl, you ain't got no one else

up in this room, bitch.

You better reveal, honey.

I was ready to do so.

If I was in the lip sync,

I was ready to do so.

I said what I said.

Little girl. Little girl.

Oh, my gosh.

Here we go. Here we go.

So we know it's like
a gown, right?

What you do,
you undo that first,

and then you just, like,

it's a cute, like,
little gown moment.

But then it goes...

Just like a moment.

- Whoo!
- Y'all are crazy.

You better werk, bitch.

Oh, she's putting it
back on. Okay.

It's a full moment
that I'm super proud of,

but I'm also super happy

that I did not
have to reveal her.

Well, thank you, ladies.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck
in the werkroom,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

Oh, my God.

Aah!

Yellow, yellow, yellow.

Wait. Sit down. Grab a drink.

I need to know what is going on.

Y'all please talk to us.

Wait. Please sit down.

Okay. Tina, how do you feel?

I mean, I'm in the bottom, so...

- Are you kidding?
- What?

Are you fucking kidding?

They said I stopped
lip syncing at some point.

They said they didn't understand
my choice at the end

when I was dying.

It was the way you died.

Not that she died.

They said, like,
I wasn't singing at the end.

It was a big role.

There was a lot going on
and I wasn't...

I wasn't afraid to take it on.

So us three
are definitely in the bottom.

- Oh, for sure.
- Yeah.

Baby, we got clocked.

Whatever order it is,

this lip sync's gonna be fucked.

- Yeah.
- Girl.

I don't wanna go home.

I don't wanna go home.

I don't think any of us
wanna go home.

I can't believe
we're here right now.

Girl.

Girl.

So us three
are definitely in the bottom.

- Oh, for sure.
- Yeah.

That's so shit.

Baby, we got clocked.

I'm pissed.
I'm pissed the fuck off.

I went off on that stage,

and I gave it my all,

saying I had
a good old fucking time.

And I walked off of that stage
like, damn, bitch,

I did that.

The fact that
they couldn't see my face?

- Sorry about it.
- Oh, my God.

What did they say about you?

Well, for me it was
they could see

that I was in my head
the entire time.

Like, they saw me
go into myself,

and then they saw it onstage
when I was performing.

So...

I'm really gagged.

Okay, continue.

Russians, how do y'all feel?

- Great. They loved us.
- Werk.

They really loved
how we worked together.

They loved the accents.

They were afraid that one
would, like, outshine the other,

and that we didn't.

That we both came on
with really good energy

and that it, like,
came at a really fun time

in the whole piece together.

It just kind of lit it up.

And, like, I just had
a blast with it.

Yeah, I don't know what it was,
but I just felt this, bitch.

I was, like, this is my shit.

To be Russian? Then that's that.

Yeah.

Rosé, how do you feel?

I am in the top.

There's a chance
that I'll win this.

She's gonna win this.

They were really enamored

with what I did
in the performance

and with the character.

I wish that this was
a brighter shade of yellow,

because Michelle
immediately clocked

and was, like, I love the look.

I just, you know, I wish
it was, you know, yellow.

I just hope it doesn't,
like, take away,

because I really wanted
to come to this challenge

and, like, slay it.

- You did, babe.
- And I feel great about it.

They loved it.

I hope my runway
doesn't hold me back

from my first win.

But I'm grateful
for what they said to me.

Now, who do y'all think

is gonna be lip syncing?

I think it could be
me and Symone.

It could be Tina and Symone.
It could be me and Tina.

I honestly have no idea.

I just cannot believe
it's you guys.

I'm truly gagged,

because when we went
into recording with Michelle,

it went lovely.

I had a great time.

When we went into rehearsal
with Jamal,

it was amazing.

Trying to stay on your toes

and adapt to whatever can happen

is, like, one of the most
important things

in this competition.

It's frustrating
and it's so exhausting,

but it's Drag Race.

Listen, whatever
happens out there,

we had a lovely Rusical.

Did we not have so much
fucking fun this week?

So much fun.

And I'm not saying
my goodbyes just yet

because I'm going
no mother fucking where.

There's no goodbyes.
Like, stop that.

No, but I'm gonna
go grab my iPod

and listen to the song.

Yeah.

Hopefully I don't have to,
you know, lip sync,

but you never know.

I'm gonna grab
my iPod real quick.

My little furry bag.

This is not a fun feeling, kids.

Whoever's been here, I get it.

It's not fucking fun.

Girl, I do not wanna lip sync.

I don't wanna lip sync again.

I don't wanna lip sync again.

- Bitch, look at this.
- What?

Look at all this orange.

I'm clearly
the yellow object, okay?

I'm colorblind,
so don't ask me, okay?

Slightly. Only red/green.

Girl.

Girl.

This cannot happen.

I think this has to be a joke.

Oh!

Well, it's happening,
so buckle up, buttercup.

I wish I could have
given you that role,

but I couldn't.

Oh, no.

- I just...
- Um...

No, I just, like...

because you're...
Coming out of this.

You're gonna be
one of my closest friends.

Uh-huh.

But at some point,
we do have to compete.

Oh, I know.

As soon as Denali and I met,

we had an instant connection,

and it has only grown
from that point.

And also, Denali
is snatched out of drag.

Denali is so fucking cute.

Our personalities
are like ooh...

Skill-set-wise, we can do
a lot of the same shit.

Mm-hmm. Absolutely.

And we carry a similar vibe.

But I will say

you drug me through the dirt
in that audition,

and I humbly am so happy

that I gave you that role.

Oh, she gave it to me.

Uh-huh. I just
handed it over to you.

Oh, she served it to me.

Okay. Free of charge.

Because you
absolutely killed it,

and I'm so proud of you and...

After it was over,
I was, like, duh.

- This makes perfect sense.
- Oh, thanks, baby.

All three of us failed.

No.

We're in the fucking bottom.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, no.

Girl, I am literally
shocked right now.

Those are my bitches
of literal life.

Symone's my L.A. bitch.

Tina and Kandy,
those are my Mean Girls.

So one of my closest
friends in the competition

is about to go home,

and I am gonna have an aneurysm.

I can't handle it.

For the most part,
we've all been strong,

so for, like, all three of us
to land in the bottom

is like fucking wild!

That is what I'm saying.

But it wasn't, like,

oh, none of them
deserved to be in the top.

Because all three of them
did really fucking well.

All three of you guys
did really fucking well.

So it's not like
I'm mad at anything.

Listen, I'm here
to be at the finale.

- Same.
- To go all the way

and show the world
what I am and who I am.

It's frustrating, because, like,

it does sounds like
a disappointment thing,

like when you
hear them say, like,

it feels like
the bar's been lowered

and it just fucking sucks.

It's annoying. I hate it.

When it comes to drag
I don't like imperfection.

I just don't.

It's the one thing,
like, I'm good at,

and I want it
to go good all the time.

And that's on me, but, like,

I'm not gonna go
in this lip sync defeated.

Like, it's what I do.
It's what I enjoy to do.

So you just gotta do it, mama.

No, whatever order it is,

this lip sync's gonna be fucked.

- Yeah.
- Girl.

As your sister, I don't
want you to think of your...

It's not a failure this week.

Another person's success
is not your failure.

That's true.

I don't wanna go home.

I don't wanna go home.

I don't think any of us
wanna go home.

I can't believe
we're here right now.

After four weeks
of no critiques...

You have been safe.

I know.

I've broken the safe streak.

I'm in the top,
and if it's a win for me,

I will burst into tears.

But I really do think
it's yours to...

Likewise. I don't know.
Listen, I really want it,

but, like, you never know.

- Wait. Bitch, look at this.
- What?

Literally, look at
all this orange.

- You're the same color.
- I am clearly yellow.

- Can we get this?
- I don't know.

- You're the same color.
- I'm gonna just lay out.

Look at all this...

The two different
shades of orange.

And I'm clearly
the yellow option, okay?

I'm colorblind,
so don't ask me, okay?

Slightly. Only red/green.

Christmas is a difficult
time for me, okay?

That is just so interesting.

I'm gonna go get
another cocktail.

Whatever happens, I'm gonna cry.

You know, whoever
is going home tonight,

it is what it is.

We have had
the most amazing season.

We have.

And y'all
are fucking incredible.

And I ain't tryin' to cry
on the fucking runway,

but I'll cry every day
if I keep fucking up.

But, listen, if we gotta
go up against somebody,

Y'all better give it
your all now.

All, bitch.

If you gotta terminate my ass,

you better terminate my ass.

I want a lip sync, bitch.

I'm not gonna be able to watch.

- I'm not either.
- Oh, God.

I'm looking at
the bottom right now,

and it's two of my friends.

And I don't want to have
to lip sync against them.

That is scary and terrifying.

Girl.

Girl.

You know what's so crazy?

What's so crazy?

This is the first week

that there are three
from the winners circle

in the bottom.

Can I just say that?

We walked into this bitch
together.

One of us is going home tonight.

But one of us has to win
this fucking competition.

- Yeah.
- All right?

Yeah, one of us
is gonna win this, bitch.

I love you all so much.

I love you guys, too.

I can't even breathe
when LaLa had to go home.

- What'd she say?
- Whoo! Five minutes, baby.

Five minutes? Oh.

I'm listening to
my lip sync song right now,

and all I can think is, like,

I'm really gonna
have to go up there

and do this
against one of my girls.

But I don't wanna go home.

It's me or them,

and unfortunately I came
to this competition to win.

The fact that I
could be lip syncing tonight

is terrifying to me.

I'm possibly going home.

I don't wanna be that girl,

and I don't like
that possibility,

and that's not
what I came here to do,

so I'm fucking scared.

- All right.
- Thank you.

Yes!

Welcome back, ladies.

Symone. Kandy.

The time has come...

for you to lip sync...

for your life!

I've made my decision.

Symone, shantay you stay.

Kandy Muse,

keep showing them who's boss.

Now sashay away.

Kandy, Kandy, wait.

I'm not ready for you to go.

You are safe
to slay another day.

20 seconds ago,
I thought I was going home,

and now I'm not going anywhere.

I don't know
how to wrap my head around it.

I don't know what to think.

I don't know what to do.

I thought I was leaving.

I'm just like...
I'm still speechless.

So Ru tells us
that we can both stay,

and I am so happy about that

because I did not
wanna be the girl

that sends home Kandy Muse.

And more than that,
I love myself,

so I wanna be here.

So great day, great night.

Couldn't be happier.

Oh.

Ahh!

- Bitch.
- Girl.

Honey darling.

- A double shantay.
- Honey darling.

A double shantay.

And it was us,
the Bald Headed Brigade.

Once she said your name
and you stayed,

I was like, you know what?

If I'm gonna lose to anyone,

at least I'm losing
to someone I love and adore

and is my sister.

I did what I did
on the stage, and...

I was hearing the crowd.
You were turning it.

And I saw you at one point,

I was like, bitch,
she is on the ground.

Girl, mopping the floor.

I truly broke down on that stage

because you see it happen
to other girls on other seasons,

and you never expect, like,

a double shantay
to happen to you.

To you? Yeah, it's nuts.

I can't walk in here
and be expecting that.

I assume I was going home,

and I'm so gagged.

I'm definitely taking it as

get your shit together, honey.

Yeah, she's not playing.

The critique of
you didn't do bad.

You just didn't shine, bitch.

I was, like, oh, God.

But that does also show

how the competition
is so fucking stiff

that it's, like, anyone's game.

And, like,
any little detail can...

- Knock your ass.
- You're out of here.

We were both in the top
last week, and then...

- We were.
- Yeah, yeah.

And our asses were catapulted
to the fucking bottom, like...

Now there's still
nine of us here.

Somebody needs to go home.

- We cannot fall again.
- No.

We need to bring it
from this point forward.

- Tea.
- But with that being said,

I'm ready to spill the tea
with the girls.

Let's go see what the tea is.

- Girl, what a fucking day.
- Day.

Oh, my God.
