RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 13, Episode 11 - Pop! Goes the Queens - 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 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.

Break on the main stage.



All cameras re-po.

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

While you untuck
in the werkroom,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

You may leave the stage.

After my critiques
from the judges,

I'm a little confused.

It sounded like
I did the challenge.

Did you sell a brand?

Do we know what
your soft drink does?

Check, check, check.

I had checks, honey.

My commercial compared
to all the other girls

was the worst.



It was. It was terrible.

I'm not gonna be surprised
if I'm in the bottom.

- All cameras up.
- Copy that. Here we go.

We got the queens walking.

Ooh, child.

Oh, my God.

- Baby.
- Meow.

Gimme some of that juice, yes.

I have to sit down.

I don't know
if I can sit in this chair.

Oh!

Yes, Olivia.

They said untuck, I said untuck!

- Werk, Olivia!
- Duh!

First things first.
I gotta ask Symone,

how are you feeling
in that fucking costume?

Well, baby, let me
tell you something.

I feel like I'm at the core
of the Earth right now,

I'm so fucking hot.

Not the core.

I fully was doing this,
and I was like,

"You're gonna be sweating,

and you're gonna feel so rotted
in this, like, underneath."

And I was like,
"No, it's fine, it's fine."

And now I'm like,
"You dumb bitch.

What were you thinking?"

Well, you dumb bitch,
how does it actually feel

to get, fuck, that kind of
amazing criticism on the runway?

I mean, could she literally
say anything better?

Nothing better, nothing better.

- I was, like, werk, bitch.
- Yeah.

To hear those critiques, though,

like, that's what everyone
aspires to do

and hear when you come here.

So it's just, like, I'm living
my fucking dream, y'all.

I'm living my dream
and I'm doing it

and people are loving it.

The judges are loving it,
and I just can't be happier.

I don't know what to do.

I can't scream, I can't
do nothing in this suit.

But I just feel good.
I feel so fucking good.

How does everyone feel
about their critiques?

We might as well
go down the line.

Yeah, how are the girls feeling?

You know, I wasn't sure
how I did in commercial,

and I personally
was very pleased

with what I saw up there on
the main stage in my commercial.

I thought it was so funny.

- It was really funny.
- Yeah, I loved it,

and the judges really loved it.

And then my runway look is
so stupid and out of the box,

because it was like, okay,
we don't really get it,

but werk, bitch.

So I think it was a really
good night for Kandy Muse,

and I definitely feel like
I'm in the top this week.

The funny thing is, with me
and Symone in the top,

we're always in the top
together,

and then someone's
like, hi, bye, bitch.

Miss Olivia?

Overall, I knew it was gonna
be a risk going into it,

and it may not have been the
best storyline for a commercial.

Your worst critique today

was that you look like you're
always happy and smiling.

Excuse the fuck me?

I mean, if that's
the worst critique you get,

diva, you better werk.

Only thing you needed to do
is not smile during the take.

Which is so hard for me to do.

And she's smiling right now.

She's like,
"It's so hard for me to do."

Yeah, hard for me to do.

Girl, if my teeth
were like that,

I would smile all the time,
too, baby.

Okay, so I had
the worst commercial,

and I'm owning it.

After the critiques,
I was, like, fuming,

because I was, like, ugh, Utica,
you could do better.

Do you even know yourself?

Like, I thought
I was having a lot of fun,

and just, like, doing my thing.

But then
as the commercial aired,

I was, like, oh,
this is really bad. Ooh!

What'd you guys think?

I agree. It was terrible.

I'm watching you
in that commercial,

and I'm laughing
and I'm seeing Utica.

But I'm thinking of it
being an actual ad on TV

and being, like,
what is this girl doing?

- Yeah.
- You know what I mean?

Just, like, the whole
licking the can thing,

I was, like, werk, bitch.

That's so you.
You're so fucking weird.

But it didn't serve much of
a purpose to sell the product

or to tell me anything
about who you are.

And I also think it's,
like, we know who you are,

we see you,
we hang out with you more.

The judges don't see this.

So what you're presenting
to them

is much like
if they were seeing it on TV.

Yeah, I totally
missed the mark with it.

But you had fun.

You know, I did have
a really good time.

It was fun.

Rosé?

I feel great.

This was actually...

I don't think
I'm gonna win this,

because I think
you're gonna win this.

But I think if for some reason
you just poofed and disappeared,

maybe I could win this,
because...

What are you trying
to say, bitch?

I'm saying that you were...

I'm saying that I'm not getting
those critiques, mama,

and I'm quite jealous,

because that was
lovely, gal. Good for you.

No, I'm not quite
at that point yet,

but I think something
that I have dealt with

being here from
the very, very beginning,

like, I really
need to loosen up.

And filming the commercial,
it was actually really easy.

I was prepared
and I didn't get stressed out,

so I wonder... I hope it's good.

It was nice to see you calmer

and still, like,
nail the challenge.

And also poking fun of yourself.
That was nice. That was great.

Well, I love doing that.

Miss Tina.

I'd love some of your insight,

because I'm just a little
confused at my critiques

a little bit.

What are you confused at?

Like, it basically was, like,

you're just consistent,
you always do a good job.

They did say you do a good job.

You got it, you branded it,
and you checked the boxes.

But I think that
if you look at every challenge,

like, in the past, that's
had, like, Tina acting in it,

it's always very,
like, Mommie Dearest.

Like, very, like,
that, like, housewife...

I hear what you're saying,
but, no.

I've done a housewife once,
so I was confused at that.

Sure, but I think they meant
just kind of the character,

and it's part of what I think
who Tina Burner is.

Your brand.

- Sure.
- Right.

I mean, you wanted our insight,
we're trying to give it to you.

No, no, no, I'm not
being nasty about it.

I know you're not,

but, I mean, we're trying
to, like, help you, so...

I'm listening, Rosé.

I'm not snapping back at you.

Um... ♪ That's what
you just did ♪

- That was a good jingle, Rosé.
- Thank you.

Tina, I think what
they were saying, though,

is that they're not seeing you
differ from, like, one thing,

and what that one thing is

I believe to be
very, very branded.

But I think when there's
room for exploration,

you're not taking
the opportunity to explore.

That was exactly it,

because I get where
you're coming from, Tina.

Where, like, you're saying,
oh, it's a branding challenge,

and you get this from me

and you think
of a housewife with me.

That's what I'm giving you.

Like, but I really liked
when Michelle mentioned,

like, Madonna and all these
really great icons in our lives,

like, the unexpected,
but still very much so a brand.

It's kind of shitty when you've
been doing it for a while

and it just
is, like, it's expected.

I mean, I obviously
wanna surprise people.

I hope I'm here to, like,
do the next challenge

and show that, like,
I'm listening,

and I'm taking your critiques,
and I'm doing that.

Show of hands.

Who thinks
that they'll be lip syncing,

or at least in the bottom
for this challenge?

Oh, yeah.

Gottmik, my angel, you've
never been in the bottom.

- No.
- Oh, yeah, how does this feel?

You must feel some sort of way.

Feels different.

Welcome to the club, baby.

Yeah, no, I like what I did,

and I thought it was funny.

I just missed the mark
with organization.

I needed to get my point across
clearer, faster, all of that.

But in this competition, I think
I have fucking grown so much.

Absolutely, baby.

Like, it's actually shocking,
like, I even see it.

Like, I have so much left
to fight for and stand up for,

for my community and for
this fucking competition.

And I'm not going home,
that's all I know.

It's, like...

I don't know a lot of things,

but what I know
is I'm not going home.

To me, you're definitely

one of my frontrunners
in this competition.

You're definitely, like, someone

who's a fierce
fucking competition.

- Fierce. Fierce.
- Thanks. Thank you.

I think for me,
it's definitely...

Because we still got
some ways to go.

We don't know.

But I think it's definitely
Gottmik, of course.

I think Rosé for sure.

And I think... I mean, even though
you haven't won anything,

I still think
you're fierce competition.

- I just do.
- Thank you.

I think Kandy
is huge competition.

Oh, thank you.

I love how, like,
real and straight up you are,

and that is so inspiring to me,

because sometimes I feel
like I edit myself,

and you've definitely
already taught me,

no, say how you feel.

You know, keep it real.

Say what you mean,
mean what you say.

I see how it fuels
your drag, too,

and how, like, strong and fierce
of a competitor you are.

It's just... you're just
this ferocious person,

and I live, I really do.

- Rawr.
- Werk.

I think just from what
I'm hearing from the judges,

the judges are, like,
really into this growing.

Like, they've really
talked about, Symone,

how you've grown so much.

And I see it for you so hard,
like, knowing you before this.

It's, like, oh, my God,

that's fucking Symone
up there doing that?

Like, you just have shined
so much beyond.

I am happy that you're here

and we have gotten
to experience each other.

So thank you for that.
Just my little thing.

Tina, who are some of your
competitors in this competition?

I mean, obviously
there is the obvious choices.

Rosé has a lot under her belt,
you know,

and Symone,
and, like, you know, Mik.

This is the second time
the other girls have said

that they don't really see me
as competition,

and that's so frustrating.

I'm gonna send home
the biggest competition

because I wanna win.

So Tina Burner, goodbye.

I'm afraid of Mik
and her fierce fashion.

Tina, who would you send home?

I mean,
I'd have to send home Mik.

- Thank you.
- Symone?

Yeah, I would definitely
send... it would be Tinta.

You are a threat for sure.

I've realized that a lot of you

don't think of me
as the biggest threat

or a threat at all.

Like, can we talk about the fact

that this girl's
won two consecutive challenges?

So I don't wanna be overlooked,

and even though you don't
deem me as a threat, I am.

I'm here to take the crown.

She was sitting there
real, real manly over there.

Listen, let me
tell you something.

This is a foxy fox,

and she can do
whatever she wants.

Mm-hmm.

Hi, I'm Tina Burner's
mother Sue.

Oh, my God!

I'm just so glad, you know,

I have a chance to talk to you
through this video.

I know that this is
a trying time for you,

and you must be very nervous.

But I do wanna say you have
no reason whatsoever to worry.

You have the best personality
going for you.

Whenever I'm down and out,

I know I can always
pick up the phone and call you,

because you are hysterical
and you make me laugh.

And I'm so, so proud of you.

You have succeeded so, so much.

You're the joy of my life.

I was blessed by you, Tina.

I wish you all the luck
in the world.

I love you so, so much
from the bottom of my heart.

Aw, Tina.

- Oh!
- Aah!

Yay!

That was so sweet.

Sit down, talk to us.

Oh, God.

It's just my mom and I
have been through so much,

and it's just, like,
I gave up such of my life

to, like, take care of her.

And it's, like, just... whew.

Oh, it's been
such a fucking journey.

It's just been
really, really hard.

My mom suffers severely

from depression
and bipolar disorder.

So, you know, growing up,
it was not easy

and it was not fun all the time.

And I didn't have
a normal childhood,

and I grew up very quickly.

But with that said,
my mother is my rock.

She is, like, the world to me,

and I've always wanted
this moment

for my mom to be, like,
"I'm so proud of you."

It's just, like, it's...

This is hard, I'm not gonna lie.

Like, I'm always so strong,
you know what I mean?

Like, it's so shitty
because, like,

you don't get time
to, like, be weak.

And, like, I don't want...
This time in this competition,

like, I don't know
where I stand right now.

And so, like, I don't wanna...
You know, I don't wanna go home.

I just wanna fight,
and I wanna be here.

And, like, I wanna fight
for her, you know?

I mean, I know I'm a fighter,

and if you looked how each year
I grow and grow and grow.

Sometimes I just feel like,
you know,

sometimes your best
isn't good enough.

So it's shitty when you hear
the judges just say, you know,

you're good, like,
but you're not good enough.

So it's, like, you know,
it's a blow.

That's not what the judges said.

The judges said
they wanna see more.

Don't hear that wrong.
Don't repeat that.

They just wanna see more,
and there is more to you.

So, bitch,
if you have to lip sync,

go out there and fucking
show them everything you've got,

because you need
to show them more.

- I know.
- You are good enough.

You are good enough.

And just remember,
it's like you said,

if you're fighting for anyone,

you're fighting for that woman
up on that TV screen.

That beautiful woman.

You know, it's really...
Y'all are so talented,

and I'm so happy to be blessed
to be here with y'all.

It's so nice seeing you
so vulnerable.

- I know.
- Yeah, don't get used to it.

I will say, though,
you have to shave your chest.

Fuck, stop it.

- I'm a beast.
- Beast!

We love you so much, Tina,
really.

She said five minutes?

Time to go listen.
Let's go do it, kids.

Stuck to my chair,
stuck to my chair.

Rosie, my hair's in my chair.

You're so funny. Hold on.

There you go.

Thank you so much.

As I am rehearsing the lip sync,

I'm thinking I've been
holding back a little bit,

and I just need
to let it loose, honey.

And if I have to push my way
to that finale

and push myself there
and then show what I can bring,

I'm happy to do that, too,
because I'm a fighter.

Oh, gosh, I could possibly
go home today.

But I know that
I'm a great lip syncer,

and I know I have so much
to prove in this competition,

and I do not want to leave.

I'm gonna give it
all that I got.

Ladies, time for the main stage.

Follow me, please.

Well, let's go, bitches.

Everyone come on up.

- Child.
- Right.

Let's go to the main stage,
y'all.

Love you, RuPaul!

Welcome back, ladies.

Tina Burner, Utica,

the time has come

for you to lip sync

for your life!

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Utica, shantay you stay.

Tina, my dear, thank you

for letting the whole world
feel the burn.

Now sashay away.

If you would have asked me
before this competition

what's gonna happen
if you get voted off early,

I would have been, like,

I'm gonna be fucking pissed,

and I'm nah, nah, nah, nah,
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

But I'm not. I'm not mad.

I got here. I fought
for years to get here.

People said that
I would never get here.

So I'm so proud.

Oh, look, I have notes!

Oh, Kandy Muse.

"Baby girl Tinta,
I am truly gagged you are gone,

"sad and heartbroken,
to be honest.

"I'm really happy
we were on Season 13 together.

"Thank you for always being
a shoulder to cry on.

"I cannot wait to live out
this season with you.

"I love you, my sister.

"See you in New York City.

Mean gurlz."

G-U-R-L-Z.

If you would have told me

I would have, like,

built such a strong relationship
with Kandy and Mik,

I didn't see it coming.

I honestly
am such a competition person

that I came in thinking
that it was gonna be, like,

I'm just gonna do
the competition

and fuck everybody else.

And I'm not gonna make friends,
and I'm just here to win.

But for some reason,
I came in here

and I let some guards down

and I formed
some real relationships,

and I know they're
gonna last after this.

It was refreshing to come here

after all these years
of doing drag

and, like, learn new things

and, like, see different ways
that people look at you.

It puts that fire under your ass

to really just
prove to everybody,

like, maybe I didn't win,

but maybe I'll be bigger
than that.

Thanks for the laughs,
thanks for the tears,

and thanks for...
ruining my dream.

Turn it and burn it, bitches!

This experience
has meant the world to me.

It's amazing when somebody
believes in you,

and it's amazing to know
what I do can be appreciated.

I've found so much more love
and so much more joy

in immersing myself fully
in this competition.

I'm coming out a better person
because of it.

America, get ready
to feel the burn.

Bye, suckers.
