RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 13, Episode 1 - The Pork Chop - 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 race coming for me.

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: Ladies,
I've made my decision.

Joey Jay, Denali,

Tamisha Iman, Utica, Rosé,

you're getting the porkchop.

Wow.

What the fuck?

This is crazy.

I feel awful.

It sucks.

It can't end this soon.

It's not fair.

I'm confused and I'm hurting,

because I have a lot to show,



and I have no idea
what to do next.

Wow.

-Hi.
-Hello.

Hi.

I'm not sure what is going on.

I find four other drag queens,

and they're all sitting there
looking pretty defeated.

Welcome to the porkchop queen.

-Welcome to the show. Bye.
-Yeah, seriously.

I'm, like, so gagged
that just happened.

I know, right?

First of all, who did you
lip sync against?

Olivia Lux.

Okay.

I'm from New York,
and she's also from New York.

Nice.

My girl was from New York.
I had Kandy Muse.

Oh, I love Kandy,
I'm glad she's here.

Me, too.

[all laugh]

Whupped my ass.

Does that really feel good?

Kandy's a fucking riot.

Now we're sitting alone in VIP.

Well, not totally alone.

No, that is true, yeah.

I'm sure wherever she is,
she's very loud.

[laughs]

Yeah, she's loud.

So, really, you knew who
you were lip syncing against.

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

Did that make it feel, like,
different or weird at all?

Yeah, it did.

The last time I saw Olivia

was at a big competition
in New York,

where I was hosting
and she was competing.

So, like, that's, like,
the full circle for that bitch

to come back and, like, beat the
host of a competition, you know?

I was really gagged
that that happened.

I know. Like, at all, right?

Yeah. I was so, like,
in my head during that.

That was, like, not my tea.

Utica, how did you feel
about that lip sync?

I was caught a little off-guard.

You know, I felt like,
damn, I made it.

And then the feeling
of, oh, my God...

I'm going home first.

I didn't expect
to have it end this way.

I didn't get to show my work.

I feel sad about it, you know?

Feels rough.

How do you feel?

I'm still kind of in shock.

Yeah.

But I'm a pageant girl,

so I know
when I've been beaten,

and I can accept that.

But I was like, you know what?

-Word.
-That's how I felt.

Keep in mind,
I got cast for Season 12.

-Oh!
-Word!

But when I got cast,
I discovered I had cancer.

Shut up!

And I had to start immediate
radiation and chemo.

-Oh, my God.
-So I wasn't able to come.

And I fought back to get
back here one year later.

I couldn't walk at one time.

The radiation
had gotten so bad

to where
I couldn't walk anymore.

So to actually be back here
in my livelihood,

I made it, you know?

That's sickening.
Congratulations.

RuPaul: Ladies,
I've made my decision.

Kahmora Hall and Elliott,

you are both
getting the porkchop.

Now sashay away.

I'm so confused.

I feel so defeated.

Am I going home?

Is this a trick?

I don't know what's going on,
and it's horrible.

I feel like I let myself down.

I know that
I'm so much better than this,

and I know that
I have more to show.

So knowing that I got the chop,

I can just feel, like,
my dreams slipping away.

-Hi!
-Hi, hi, hi.

-Hi!
-I know this one.

Let me hug you! Ooh!

Denali!

Oh, my God, I can't believe it.

I can't believe you're here.

I'm Kahmora.

The legend, Kahmora Hall.

-Right.
-Oh, stop, I'm not!

But I'll take it.

Of the Tajma Halls
and the Jaida Essence Halls.

Oh, cute.

So wait. How did
your lip sync go?

Girl, I went through,
like, a mix of emotions.

It was traumatizing.

Like, I put so much
into this competition.

Like, I used, like, so much
of my savings for this.

At the same time, it's like
I'm just so grateful,

because I've wanted
Drag Race for so long.

Right.

And, like, just to be here
means a lot.

What in the heck do you think
is about to happen next?

Our picture's
gonna be on that wall, too.

Can I be next to Soju, though?
That's my daughter?

-Is it?
-Yeah, we both went home first.

-Oh!
-[laughs]

Soju and her cyst?

[all laugh]

I came here
for justice for Soju,

but, well, that ended, so...

[all laugh]

What's crazier to me

is that the only queen
I got to meet was Tina.

I've seen you before.

You were at Las Vegas.

I sure was.

That's a horrible, you know,
impression, I'm telling you.

[all laugh]

You know what I'm saying?

The same exact thing
has happened to all of us.

-Yes.
-Right.

So I'm sure at this point

I feel like there's
another room, like--

Where they're talking shit.

I think there's probably
another kiki happening

with the girls
who beat us right now.

Oh, I'm sure.

God.

So let's get down
to the real, real, real tea.

You bitches walk in.
It's you and another girl.

-Right.
-It's crazy.

What goes through your mind?

When we got on that main stage,

I don't know about y'all,
but I was just, like,

there ain't no way I'm
walking in in my entrance outfit

and they're gonna be sitting
up in there, judging, you know?

-Right. That early.
-And I'll tell you what.

I rounded that corner
and I shit my pants.

I was just like this.

-[laughs]
-You know what I mean?

At that point, everything that
I thought that I knew walking in

flew right out the window.

Yeah, which of course
is how they like to do it.

Exactly.
When you walk in,

you think you're gonna meet,
like, all the queens.

I was excited!

Or at least, like,
half the cast.

Like, we're gonna talk

and we're gonna say,
"You're horrible,"

It's one thing to be told,
oh, you're going to lip sync.

It's another thing
to go on the main stage

on your first day
of Drag Race

in front of the four judges,

RuPaul in drag
staring through your soul.

And now you have
to put on a show,

not only for them,
but to save your ass as well.

Bitch--

I thought it was gonna be,
like, oh, we're lip syncing,

and then, you know,
you get put in another group.

But she said, you go home now,
and I was like, oh.

I was like, "What's going on?"

I didn't believe it, either.

No, I was, like,
there's no way.

My thing is
if I was sitting up there

and they told me,
like, that I lost,

I would have been over it.

Bitch, how you think they feel?

It's lucky 13, even though
it's not, but it is.

I'm not feeling so lucky
today, actually.

I don't think so either.

I love to compete, you know,

so I was like, fuck,
I'm the first one.

I'm like...shook.

Kind of cutthroat.
A little cutthroat.

-Yeah, it's a little cutthroat.
-Yeah.

It's like, you know,
no one wants to go home first.

No one. No, no.

I'll tell you what.

This is not what
I expected to happen today

on my first day
at RuPaul's Drag Race.

You'd think it would be
a happy get-to-know-you moment,

but we feel so defeated.

We feel like this is the end.

I'm feeling good
about all six of us, so...

-Yeah.
-I agree.

This is a cute couch.
This is a cute couch.

I think we should
keep the couch.

There's enough space.
[all laugh]

We don't need any more.

[laughs]

With me, because
there was two girls,

they were like,
"Two of you are going home."

And I said, "Excuse me?"

Elliott and Kahmora Hall.

Wait, you said two girls?

Wait, what?

[laughs]

-You only had one?
-Oh, yeah.

Oh, so there's 13 of us.

Oh, word, bitch.

Oh, that is shady.

Yeah. [laughs]

-Y'all are shady.
-Honey.

Wait. So both got sent home?

See that? I sent two home.

She sent two home.

Oh, okay.

-An assassin.
-Yeah.

That's gaggy.

That's crazy.

So my girl's name was Denali.

Girl, she had on ice skates.

Those are real skates.

They are, Miss Thing.

Wow.

-Ice?
-Like blades?

Bitch, she was scooty-doo-doo.

How?

Bitch, I don't know.
She was scooty-doo-doo.

Basically, you were, what,
Tonya Harding, then.

You just came by,

and you were gonna just,
like, take her out, girl.

-Basically, girl.
-Okay.

So how did you feel
walking into the werkroom,

like, finally
being in the werkroom?

Bitch.

-[laughs]
-Girl.

How many times have you
auditioned, like, to be in this?

-Once.
-Mm!

-Word!
-Oh.

And so it just, like,

it hasn't really hit me yet,
you know?

I'm like, bitch, one time,
and, bitch, I'm here.

It's, like, oh.

Wait. How many times
has everyone auditioned here?

Twice.

-This is my third.
-Third.

I don't remember.

She's, like, 17.

[laughs] 17.

No, it's not even that.

Like, I think, like, I think
I lost count at, like, seven.

Oh, word.
I've only done four.

I'm guessing once for you,
right?

Just once, yeah.

Last year, I wasn't even--
it didn't even apply to me,

because I had been doing drag

for, like,
three weeks last year.

So this was my first time
I even tried.

-Must be nice.
-That is crazy, y'all.

You won a pageant title
as well, right?

Yeah, I won a Miss Paradise.

See, I pay attention.

-You do!
-Thank you.

I pretend like I don't,
but I do.

It was hard,

and it was, like, months
and months of preparation.

It was one of the hardest things
I've ever done in drag,

and now I'm here!

-Months and months?
-Yeah.

You started a year ago!

That is nuts.

-It's true.
-My first year of drag,

I don't even think
that's considered drag.

-Yeah. Same.
-Like, at all.

-Like, it's so scary.
-You know what it is?

It's like you know when you
work so hard to get somewhere

and you've fought for so long,
for so long, for so long

and, like, you're finally here.

And then it's, like,
to go home? Hell, no, bitch.

-Not an option.
-That wasn't a option.

Not an option.

I was, like, I will get there
when it's my time.

-Absolutely.
-And when it's ready.

I mean, thank God I'm here now,

because of, like, I feel ready,
you know what I'm saying?

One of the things
I thought about,

like going through
so many mixed emotions

as you're being eliminated,
right?

-And you're, like--
-Porkchopped.

Oh, my gosh, like,
I know what Dahlia's feeling.

And then you're, like,
wait a minute.

Shangela has felt this before,

but has also walked
the Oscars carpet, you know?

-Hello.
-Yeah.

You know what? I will
gladly go on this wall,

since Vanjie and Shangela
are on there.

Because they have come back
several times

and did the damn thing.

-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-The queen of the exit lines.

But I'm already here.

[all laugh]

Like, damn, I don't wanna go to
the airport and go through TSA.

I know. Let me show
at least one runway.

One more wig. [laughs]

One more wig,
one more runway, something.

I just wanna show one more hat,
just one more hat.

Just show one more look.

That's the first thing
I thought, too,

was, like, oh, my God, my
suitcase isn't even opened yet.

Right.

Like, I'm sure we all had
so much to show.

I worked so hard to be here.

There's never been a girl
from Phoenix here.

I mean, I'm sure you guys
all feel the same way.

[sighs] I have no idea
what the porkchop means.

I'm thinking, you lost.

You lost and that's it.
It's over.

I don't wanna go.

I wanted the experience.

We all wanted the experience.

It's devastating.

So how does it feel to be
in, like, this new normal

with the whole masks?

-And COVID and stuff.
-Six feet.

It's so crazy,
because going from, like,

working at a bar
every single night,

surrounded by people,
to being, like, by yourself

is the weirdest,
like, feeling ever.

I don't think I've been
in drag in front of people.

-It's been about five months?
-Five, six months.

Yeah, it's a scary world, right?

I think that
we have to adapt.

Even, like, here, you can see,

like, everyone's wearing a mask,
we're not touching anyone,

and we're getting
our COVID tests done.

That's the only action
I got, girl,

is that Q-Tip up my nose
all this time.

[all laugh]
I was like, sis.

I was like, is there
an alternate option?

Can I do the anal option, maybe?

[all laugh]
Girl!

Yeah, it's getting hot in here.

Is there any feedback on the
main stage that you guys got

that you were kind of like,
ooh, like, shook about, or--

I liked my feedback.

Ooh, they praised you, bitch.

I was kind of nervous
about this outfit,

because I didn't want anyone
to think I was a narcissist.

But I do love my--like, my drag
character did save my life,

so, like, I definitely wanted

to, like, touch on that
a little bit.

I was a really lonely,
depressed kid.

I was bullied a lot.

I didn't exactly know
what was wrong with me.

A Black kid, like, you know,
it's just a lot going on.

I created her
to, like, make me happy.

I don't think I would have
made it past high school

if I didn't find this.

Like, it literally
made me wanna live.

Like, to push forward
and be like, okay,

what can I make
out of this life, you know?

What's your answer, Miss Tina?

I mean, the feedback,
like, Michelle was just, like,

you know, you're
a New York, like, legend.

Ross was, like, oh, he was,
like, you were in a boy band.

-And, like, one of the things--
-You were in a boy band?

Yes, honey, I signed
with Universal Records

-when I was 19.
-What?

Yeah. Oh, girl, there's things
you don't know about my life.

Uh-uh! Ooh, she famous!

You don't know about my--

Are you a hot boy?

[all laugh]
Are you like Justin Timberlake?

Do you have frosted tips?

No. Well, actually,
I did have frosted tips.

[all laugh]

You know, I was living
my boy band fantasy.

But, like,
we all got secrets.

We all better watch out,
you know what I'm saying?

I can sing if I need to, Rosé.

[all laugh]

Rosé and I know each other
from New York,

and I guess she's
got that reputation

of, like,
you know, "I am Rosé."

She likes to compete.

But I think, you know,

Rosé's still figuring out
who Rosé is.

We won the first challenge.

Now you know that
just means they're, like,

they're gonna be
on our assess this season.

-I didn't think about that.
-You may be up here right now.

You start up here,
where you gonna go from there?

-You gotta climb, honey.
-You gotta climb.

That's all right, I'm up
to the challenge, girl.

You can't appreciate
what you have

unless you've had
to fight for it.

And I think I'm a fighter.

Like, I am a fighter.

I'm, like, oh, my God.

Ugh!

We are de-dragging, and,
you know, it's some cute boys.

You know, you got Miss Mik,
the cute little twink.

You got Miss Tina,
a white boy with soul.

I got a man and all,

but I'm into light-skinned boys,
you know.

So, you know, Olivia Lux
really caught my eye.

But compared to all these girls,

I think I'm the trade here,

and that says a lot.
[laughs]

All right, so...

-Yeah?
-We have to get to it.

What?

The most important part
of this competition.

Which is?

Who's single?

-Whoo!
-Right here!

I'm single, honey.
Single-pringle over here.

-Single!
-Single! [laughs]

I'm single by choice.
That's why I'm a ho.

You a ho?

Because you can get
your life,

but you don't gotta go home
and answer to no one.

Amen.

So now listen, I'm just
throwing it out there.

There's a lot
of single people here,

and there's restrictions,

and we all stuck
in the same house.

I'm just saying.

Y'all better start
pairing off now.

We sisters. We can't be
touching up on each other!

Hold on, wait, hold on.

-What?
-Don't say all that!

Oh, yeah, all bets are off.

[laughs]

This is the first time that we
are all getting out of drag.

We're getting to see
the boy side of our personas.

And trade? No. [laughs]

Now that it's us,
the New York bitches over here--

-Okay.
-Okay.

Let's get down to the real tea.

What are y'all really afraid of,
like, in this competition?

I guess not coming across,
like, with who I am.

You know what I mean?

Like, sometimes you fear
that, like--

A bitch.

I'm not a bitch.

-I'm kidding.
-I know.

What I'm saying is it's just,
like, I tell the truth,

and sometimes, the truth, like,

really gets people worked up.

What about you?
What are you scared of?

I wanna come into
this competition

and just, like, do it for me
and have a good time.

I think the hardest part
is coming across as myself,

but, like, making sure
people are, like--

no, like,
I'm not being a bitch.

It's just, like, the way I am.

I'm just nervous about
getting in my own head

and, like, just seeing everyone
and what they're, like, good,

and, like,
the loud personalities,

and just being, like.

I just need to
stay out of my own head

and do what I need to do, honey.

That's what
I'm most nervous about.

Like, my persona, the image,
that I like her looking like,

if it gets a little too far,

there's something
that's, like, off.

So I have to make sure
that we shove that noise away.

I'm afraid of being looked at

as somebody that
hasn't worked as hard

as other girls
to get here,

because I worked really,
really hard to get here still.

You prove it.
Just because it's been a year,

and just because
I've been before Christ--

[laughs]

-Not B.C.!
-Girl!

No, it's Before Charles.

[laughs]

If we do get a second chance,
which I fucking hope we do,

and if we're all working
together to do that,

like, we gotta
fucking bring it.

-Exactly.
-Word.

I'll send
the other bitches home.

Like, collectively.

-We'll pick one at a time.
-Okay.

We have to, like, really,
really fucking kill it.

Right.

RuPaul: Attention, queens
in the porkchop loading dock.

You all have a chance
to return to the competition.

But first, you must give one
of your fellow queens the chop.

You know what the gag is,
that we're all unpacking,

and we're all kiki-ing
and having a good time,

but the reality of it is

someone has to go home
every single week.

Yeah, true. [laughs]

Oh, so you're like, why
are we unpacking everything?

And then you're gonna
have to re-pack everything.

Who me? Aah!

[all laugh]

Ladies, you got about five
minutes to wrap it up, please.

Five minutes.

Oh, my God, bitch,
we're actually here!

RuPaul's Drag Race
Season 13, bitch!

Aah!

All right, bitch, but
five minutes is five minutes,

so come on, bitch!

I had a great first day here,

and it is so great
to win my first lip sync.

I think I gave a great
first impression with my look.

You see this?
You see this?

Season 13, bitches!

This is our life.

Whoo!
[both laugh]

This is crazy!

Bitch!

I'm excited, nervous,

anxious to see
how everything turns out.

You know, we have already been
given some curveballs, so...

-[laughs]
-Bye!

And, baby,
there ain't no telling

what's around this corner.
