RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 12, Episode 9 - Snatch Game - full transcript

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.

Symone.

Tina Burner.

Kandy Muse.

You are safe.

Thank you, ladies.
You may leave the stage.

Aah! Bitch, I am safe.

I feel so good.

Baby, I came,
I didSnatch Game well,

and I live to fight
another week, bitch.

I have never been happier
in this competition

than being safe
afterSnatch Game.

Snatch Game
is the hardest challenge

of this mother fucking
competition.



Do you always wanna be
in the top or win?

1,000%.

But a safe inSnatch Game
is a win to me.

Get all cameras up.

And here we go.

- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, my God.

Aah!

I'm a horse, henny.

It has never felt better
to feel safe.

Ooh, I'm gonna take this off
for a momo.

Yeah, I gotta get comfy.

Aah!

I'm gonna cross my legs
like that.

Do I look like a woman now?

Oh.

Aah!

Listen, fully the bottom three
are in the safe zone right now.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

We were the bottom three
last week.

- And we're in the safe zone.
- The bottom three.

So listen,
this is great, though.

- It is a climb.
- Yes.

Because we came from the bottom.

Now we're in the middle,
and where can we go from there?

We can go to the top.

I knew going into Snatch Game

it's one of
the hardest challenges

in Drag Racehistory.

I agree.

You know, it's like you're
lucky if you make it by.

And I was like, I'm gonna go
on there and do the best I can.

And, bitch, now we're safe.

And, bitch, here you go.

I am not gonna lie,
I'm a little disappointed,

just simply because I did hope
I was gonna be in the top.

I did.

I did think you were
gonna be in the top.

But I'm happy to be here still
to slay another day.

What's more important

is the message you spread
on that runway.

Thank you.

So to even, like, be able
to step on that stage

and put that message out there
with the platform that we have,

I mean, is so amazing of you,
and I commend you for that.

For me, that's a win already.

Yeah.

Now, listen, I do comedy, okay?

I have a national comedy crown
on my head, okay?

Well, you have
a natural comedy face.

Right. Looking at me, you laugh.

But what I'm saying is,

like, doing comedy on stage
in New York in front of people

is so much different, because
you're, like, hosting the show.

And you're, like, this person,
this person, this person.

When you're sitting there

and have to, like,
think about that character

and then be that character

and then try to land
those jokes,

it's just, like,
I thought to myself,

like, uh-oh,
what if this is not funny?

Like, Ru finds things
very funny.

Like, certain things,
you know what I mean?

I gotta find out
what those things are!

Mm-hmm.

So do we think for the top
is Denali, Mik, and Rosé?

Yeah.

I think Rosé's character,
to me, was just so outrageous,

that half the time
you couldn't even understand

what the fuck she was saying.

And she handled it really well.

But I didn't even care,
because it was just funny.

She took a dead fucking queen
and made it funny.

I wrote he got canceled
for being a greedy bastard.

One point for the team,
right? Oh.

Also, though, Denali, I think,
had her impersonation down.

But I do have a thing
for the kind of beards

that say hold me in your arms
until all the pain goes away,

but also power drills are
on aisle seven, henny, yes.

But, like, honestly,
we have to remember, too,

let's take into consideration

their looks on the runway
tonight as well.

I mean, I'm sure the looks
will play into it,

but Snatch Game is the main one.

And the people I see
going in the bottom today

are definitely Utica,
Olivia, and Elliott.

I think Olivia's in the bottom.

I do think she's in the bottom.

I've recently gotten into ASMR.

ASMR stands for what?

Um, as much as...

As you can be not loud.

Okay. All right.

I was sitting next to Olivia,

and I could just tell when Ru
was throwing things at her,

she was thinking
and thinking and thinking,

and it just wasn't
coming to her.

I honestly, like,
I couldn't tell you definitely

who's in the top and the bottom.

The only one I could say

is probably definitely
in the bottom would be Utica.

Nothing came together
and nothing landed.

It really reminded me
of my favorite color.

Okay.

Honestly, I think she's,
like, you fall into this thing

where you go into being silly,
dah, dah, dah,

and it's a deflection,
it's a defense for her.

And I see it.

So earlier, when we were
painting for the runway,

Olivia was off to the corner.

And next to me, Utica and Denali

were talking about
Snatch Gamecharacters.

And Utica said that Olivia
might be in the bottom.

Olivia overheard it.

But the gag is
that Utica told Olivia

she was good in the Snatch Game.

So Olivia was, like,
um, I hear you...

One, I hear you
talking about me, girl.

Oh, yeah, she snapped
right around.

She goes, "Excuse me?"

Olivia could be in trouble.

I hear y'all.

What happened, Olivia?

It sounded like certain things
that weren't said earlier.

Ooh!

See, I told y'all, Olivia.

She was ready
to snap on the girl.

She will snap on that ass.

She's got that miracle earring,

and she gonna
snap around on you.

I love it.

Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

Yoo-hoo!

Oh, God, here she is.

Nancy Scarigan.

- It's that time.
- How you feel?

This is how I feel.

Hi!

Hi, baby!

Ooh!

So, girls, what is the tea?

What happened outside?

Well, what do you guys
think is the tea?

I think that you...

I think you two
are definitely in the top.

I think Utica
might be in trouble,

Olivia might be in trouble.

So they loved my look,

so that I was happy about.

The Snatch GameTabitha moment,

I stumbled in areas
where I usually don't stumble,

and then because of that,

it kind of just
spiraled down for me

and I missed the mark.

I thought I did
Tabitha Brown justice.

But everything the judges said
was completely true

and I understood 100%.

If I have to lip sync tonight,

I am ready to fight
if I have to.

And I'm fighting
for the experience

- to be here with y'all.
- Werk.

I'm fighting to learn
and grow from y'all.

It's also making me realize
how much I appreciate you guys.

Baby.

Why did you say
one thing to my face

and then say something behind?

There's, like, a shady
little moment within her.

Girl.

Girl.

I'm fighting for the experience
to be here with y'all.

It's also making me realize
how much I appreciate you guys.

Baby.

And this has been, like,
a really great experience.

And it's not over for you,
bitch.

Yeah, suck up those tears, mama.

Bring out that diva that we see.

I love you.

So, Elliott, what about you?

What are your critiques
and stuff?

They really liked my look.

They got that it was,
like, a flamingo.

They just said
I wasn't Southern enough.

They wanted it to be,
like, more obnoxious.

Well, I said Miss
Winnie the Pooh was canceled

for enjoying the company
of a gentleman friend.

I love gentlemen.

You know, when you pick these,
like, queer, like, icons,

these characters
that we all love so much

and we know everything about,

you either, like,
nail it on the head

or you dance around it
a little bit.

And I think they just thought
it could have been stronger.

I knew how iconic
of a character it was,

and so I knew
that was super risky,

but I didn't wanna play it safe.

Like, I wanted to try.
I really did.

And so if it comes down to it,
I'm gonna put on a show.

That's what I do.

Enter-taint-ers.

♪ So they loved the way I look

♪ They think
I looked so great, whoo ♪

I made a lot of choices,

and I don't think that
they were all the right choices.

Like, a lot of my things
didn't land.

I was having a great time,

but it just, like,
it didn't read.

So do you feel like
you'll be in the bottom?

Oh, yeah.

Gottmik was the only one to get
clear 10s across the board,

including look and performance.

You might be the winner
of this challenge.

I really think so.

They literally were, like,
you embodied her.

You literally knew
every angle to look like her.

- You made it funny.
- You did fucking look like her.

Just let me know when
the cameras are rolling,

and we'll kill it.

The cameras are rolling.

That's so embarrassing. Sorry.

You're so hot.

It was just really good.

It was so good.

Olivia, how do you
feel now after...

I know earlier
you were a little heated.

Look, okay,
so it was discouraging today

to hear my name brought up
without my knowledge.

That, to me, is something
that I just don't do.

So, you know, I was asked.

We were talking, and I did ask

who do you think could possibly
be in trouble this week.

Yeah, and I expressed
my opinion.

Like, yeah, and...

And everyone is entitled
to their opinion.

That's not what
I'm trying to say.

The things that
were said today to Denali

were not said to me
after Snatch Game,

and that's where
I am disappointed.

Damn.

I think Olivia's
just trying to say, like,

why did you say one thing
to my face,

and then say something behind?

I didn't mean
to cause any, um, rift.

And I was just expl... well, yeah.

So I'm really...
I'm frightened about conflict.

Something that
has been brought up,

you just being on camera
a type of way,

and then off camera
a type of way.

I really, really love Utica,

but there's, like, a shady
little moment within her

that she has started to let out

when either the cameras
disappear for a second

or when it doesn't count.

On camera, you're this
sweet little innocent thing,

and then, like, the camera goes
off and you're like, bitch.

Like, here are the real reads.

There was one point
that really got me,

when we were having dinner

and Utica decided
to open up her binder

and list out ideas she had

but didn't use
for the reading challenge.

So she's literally,
like, sitting there,

like, insulting people

while we're, like,
exhausted eating dinner.

You know I love you,
but when I realized

that you, like, took out
your alternate reads at dinner,

I felt like you were
just reciting insults.

And, like,
and it wasn't called for.

OMG, Miss Ts Madison

is all up in our Untucked,
and I live for her.

Oh, my God!

Girl.

Girl.

You know I love you,
but when I realized

that you, like, took out
your alternate reads at dinner,

I felt like you were
just reciting insults.

Like, and it wasn't called for.

I'm sorry.

I... I really like you guys a lot,

and I wanna be as connected
with you guys as I can.

And I, like... I don't...

I really wanna be on everyone's
good graces, you know?

And sometimes I let
those little zingers out

because it's like, oh,
I found the opportunity, ptoo!

They feel as though I'm
different on and off camera.

I feel as though
I'm really trying hard

to mesh with the other girls,

and I want to put my best foot
forward when I'm on camera.

I'm taking more risks off camera

so I can, like, test the waters.

But they're seeing it as shady

and, ugh, it's like this inner
turmoil that I'm dealing with.

Like, who do I be?

At the end of the day,
just be you,

and don't apologize for it.

I think the problem is
you're sitting here

and you're trying to give us
what you think we need

or Little Miss Nice all the time

or worried that you're
gonna piss somebody off.

Hell, I piss everybody off
every other day.

- You're messy.
- Yeah.

Now, y'all know I would
come over there, honey,

but we dealing
with the COVID-19.

OMG, Miss Ts Madison

is all up in our Untucked,
and I live for her.

Ladies.

- Hi!
- Hi!

I am so, so proud
of each and every one of you

here in this room,

because it takes guts
to get up and bare your life

to a whole bunch of people

who are gonna have a whole bunch
of stuff to say about you.

You know, when they have no idea

how much courage it takes
to get up there

and be critiqued by people

when you've given it
the best that you got.

Now, I know that the Snatch Game

was very challenging.

- The most.
- Very.

- Queen!
- My love.

You are beautiful.

Thank you. That means
so much coming from you,

you have no idea.

It was your Tabitha for me.

I was so mad at you.

I was mad at myself.

Y'all know the Snatch Game
is the game on this show.

Y'all can't come to this season
playing around with the games

that you know that people
are going to be very...

sitting in front of the TV,

now, girl, who she gonna play,
who she gonna play?

- Right.
- Yeah, definitely.

I think Elliott With 2 Ts,

you are
a well-put-together queen.

Thank you.

You look good on the runway,

and, you know, I like this.

Thank you.

Gottmik.

- My angel.
- Listen, baby,

I wanna say to you
from one trans to another,

I am so proud of you
for being here.

And I am so happy that
you are showing people

that drag is not an identity,
it's an art form.

- Yes.
- Period.

That's it.

Ladies, I wanna
leave this with you.

You guys have put
your lives on the line.

This is $100,000, girl, honey.

And even if you don't make
the $100,000,

make that mother fucker
when you leave.

Bye, y'all. Good luck!

Oh, she's so cute.

Oh, my God!

It was amazing
to hear Ts say to me

that I am a very polished,
well-put-together queen.

I am fueled up.

My goal is to prove myself
until the finish line,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

Girl.

Girl.

Now, before the girls
go get their iPods,

because I know you guys have
to go rehearse or whatever,

just know that, like,
we have done so much

in this season so far
than anyone has ever done.

We have done too much
in this season.

It's crazy, right?

So if you leave today, leave
with your head held high

and be proud
of what you've done.

Thank you, Pastor Muse.

Ladies, five minutes
we head to main stage.

Oh, God.

There could be a chance
that I am in the bottom two,

so nothing is gonna stop me
from putting on a damn show.

I'm not done here.

I do not wanna go home!
I don't wanna go home.

I feel like I have
so much more work to prove,

so I'm gonna fight.

All right, ladies.

Time for the main stage.
Follow me.

- What?
- Literally one second.

Whoo!

Kandy, hold up!

Everyone's gone. Let's go!

"Ladies, I've made
some decisions."

Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Utica, Elliott With 2 Ts.

The time has come
for you to lip sync

for your life!

Utica, shantay you stay.

Elliott, I now know
what the extra T is for.

Tenacity.

Now sashay away.

I'm bummed to be going home,

but I still feel
so accomplished.

I was the girl sent home first,

so to come back and be able
to thrive is incredible,

and I'm so happy that I got
the opportunity to do that.

Oh.

"Elliott, thank you for taking
the time to open up to me.

"You are a sweetheart, and be
proud of what you did here.

Much love
and of course shade, Tina."

Tina. Love you, Dad.

"Miss 2 Ts, keep showing

"that underestimating you
is an unfortunate mistake.

Love, Symone." Oh.

It's really sweet to get
messages from the girls,

'cause I have felt
kind of isolated.

I think I tried too hard
to become friends with people,

and that's something I have
never recognized that I do,

like, until
actually coming here.

I'm very happy for that
now that I'm aware of that.

You have to just be yourself,

and I've kind of
always struggled with that.

Having this experience
has literally been something

that so many thought
would never happen for me.

I have been put down

and talked about
and just degraded

ever since the very first time
I put a wig on

when I was 15 years old.

And so this competition
and being a part of it

is the most validating thing,
because it makes me feel worthy.

It's the most
incredible experience,

most incredible feeling ever
to finally feel seen.

Unh. So I think that is it.

Pblblblblt.
Okay, it's been real.

I want a Crunchwrap Supreme
and maybe a cocktail.

It sucks that I don't get
to go all the way to the top,

but I am on the top,
because I was here, period.

Unh!

I'm really proud of what I did,
and it's just the beginning.

Whenever you see flamingos,
think of me.

Mwah.

Yes, it's time to flamin-go!
