RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 13, Episode 12 - Nice Girls Roast - 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.

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

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

I dropped the ball in the roast.

I'm disappointed.

I know I could have done better,

and I fucking didn't.

And it sucks, especially
this close to the end.

I am feeling just
a couple mixed feelings.

I feel like I did
terrible in the roast.

I'm feeling as though

of course I'm gonna be
in the bottom again.

Queens walking.



Send the queens
in three, two, one.

Werk, bitch.

Aah!

We just roasted.

Oh, my God.

I might grab a drink today.

- Do you not normally?
- I don't.

What?

Brrrrr.

Miss Things,
Miss Ladykins alike,

how we feeling?

I think overall

me going first
and watching the roast,

bitch, I thoroughly
enjoyed the roast.

Let's give a round of applause
to Rosé and Kandy

- for picking out the order.
- Hello.

Yeah, I agree.

Thank you for that
silent round of applause.

But I actually do agree.

I think I'm really proud of us,

and I'm glad
that we were able to do

what we thought was right,

and also serve everybody
as best we could

with what we all desired
as far as the order.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Because, you know, we weren't
trying to shade everybody.

We wanted it to be a cute show.

It was a show.

Right.

There's six of us,

which means that there are...

if you're not in the top...

You ain't in the top, baby?

You in the bottom.

Right. Nobody's vers
anymore, baby.

No.

So who for sure
think they're in the bottom?

- 1,000%.
- Yeah.

I definitely, like,
started off strong,

and then got myself

into, like, a little bit
of a spiral.

Like, lost my train of thought,

and then I got back into it.

And, like,
the funniest moments I had

were off the cuff and things
I didn't even write down.

So I was, like...

Utica was a hot mess.

She went up there

and completely bombed
her entire set.

And also, kind of...
She was being kind of mean.

So...

Oof.

For me, it's making me see

that when I get nervous,

I start, like,
grasping for straws

and I start to be offensive.

I was definitely bombing,

but for as scary as it was

and realizing that
I was totally bombing,

I did have a lot of fun.

- It was cute.
- Werk.

Symone, how you feeling?

Angry.

- You're angry?
- Angry?

- Angry? Why are you angry?
- Very angry.

Pissed at myself.

'Cause I feel like
I went in there

and I did exactly

what I told myself
I was not gonna do.

And I did it,
and I don't know why.

I don't know what happened.

Today I felt pretty confident,

and then I don't know.

I guess being there
and just seeing the girls,

it just fell apart.

This is not my thing.

I'm not necessarily a hostess.

And I'm proud of myself
for doing it,

but I didn't do as good
as I could have done,

and that is infuriating.

I think you're
too hard on yourself.

Yeah.

I think... the thing is

I know that we're
our biggest critics,

but I think with you...

When you fuck up,

you take that shit to the heart.

And I know that
we're in a competition.

Like, you wanna do your best,

and you've been exceling
at everything here.

At home, you're not a hostess.

You're not in a club
on a microphone,

so you don't have
that preparation,

that practice before
getting to do a roast.

I think you did the best
that you could to your ability.

When you know
you're dropping the ball,

you stay in character,
you still finish your roles.

You weren't, like, oh, shit,
I fucked up.

Like, you were hitting
your marks.

Yes, some jokes
weren't the funniest,

but you weren't terrible,
either.

100%. I'm proud of you.

Like, you were scared, too.

I was terrified.

I think I 100% got in my head,

and that is heartwrenching
or heartbreaking.

Whatever the fuck.
The heart's gone.

Look, you made a joke.

And it just... it sucks, it sucks.

I am very hard on myself,
because I have to be.

Ugh, it's just frustrating,

and I feel like
I'm lip syncing 1,000%.

But you best believe, bitch,

I'm gonna be studying
some goddamn comedians,

because this can't happen again.

This cannot happen again.

For me and my critiques,
I first would like to know...

Because obviously,
like, we're artists,

we get up there on a stage,
we do it,

but we don't really experience
it as audience members.

I'm really interested
in knowing, like,

your honest opinion on my set.

You said something about me
that was false.

Oop.

I have a lot of work to do,

and for me to be playing
catch up in this competition

is tough for me,
because I shouldn't be.

Girl.

Girl.

I first would like to know
your honest opinion on my set.

You said something about me
that was false.

Oop.

Actually, you said that
you lip synced against me

and sent me home.

I was actually
just in the next room.

So I was, like, shit. All right.

You did better than I expected,
I will say that, for sure.

Yeah, it wasn't... to me,
I didn't think it was terrible.

Yeah, there were some jokes
that were, like, okay.

I think the zingers
could have been the one

where you either
went up or down.

And you had good jokes.

It was just
all delivered this way,

so there was nowhere
to really go.

I feel that.

I do agree with the critique

that the youthful quality that
you brought to your character,

which was really smart,
I'm glad you did that,

it did feel apologetic,
and in a bad way.

Okay.

I thought it went really well,

and I was really
proud of myself,

because although I may have
missed some of the jokes,

the jokes that did stick
they really, really liked.

Mama Ru is so old,

she signed the Declaration
of Independence

as parent/guardian.

To make RuPaul laugh at a joke
that I was making about her,

I feel like
you need a PhD in comedy

to be able to roast Miss RuPaul.

Because if I don't,

call the funeral homes,
I'm deceased, honey.

You did it! You did it, bitch.

Yeah, but I think
I'm in the bottom, so...

I wasn't worried
about this challenge,

like, coming into it.

I mean, baby, you were out there
with no fucking cards.

- Yeah.
- Here's the thing.

I think I'm being hard
on myself,

but I'm kind of, like,

they basically
told me all this shit

that is wonderful to hear,

but I'm, like, why couldn't
I just fucking apply it all

directly in that moment
into the challenge,

where I could have really
been absolutely amazing?

And I'm also in a place
in the competition right now

where I've turned a new leaf,
and, like, I'm frustrated

to have gotten in my way after
coming to a really grand place.

- Can I ask you a question?
- Yeah.

What's "turning a new leaf?"

Have you never heard that?

It's like a brand-new day.

I've shed, like, a layer,

and I've become something
better than I was before.

Oh. Because, like, if you have
a leaf and you turn it,

it's the same leaf.

Kandy, she's so
fucking ridiculous.

She said, "If you turn a leaf,
it's the same leaf."

- That's metaphoric.
- Fuck that phrase.

Kandy, I'm letting you slide
on this,

because I love you, period.

I guess it's true.

I'm so confused.

So I'm thinking that you three,
of course, in the top.

We're in the bottom.

Kandy, I think you've got
a really strong...

I mean, listen,
I would love to win this,

and it's funny,
because even if I...

If I go out there and win
the fucking comedy roast...

The roast, that's
a cute fucking win, girl.

It's something that
I would have never even imagined

to even win ever in my life.

Which fucking sends me,
bitch, because I knew.

I knew that you were gonna do
exactly what you did out there.

- Yes!
- We're walking out on stage,

I was, like, bitch,
I'm opening this up.

And if we was at a club
back in New York,

I would be like,
girl, we got it.

But we on the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

It's make-or-break,

and I was, like, I set the tone
for the rest of the night.

Literally the second
you rounded that corner,

I was like, "Here we go.
It's done."

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

The first day, I was thinking,

I was, like, what challenges
do I not want to do?

And I was, like,
I do not wanna roast.

And then this week made me
notice the growth in myself,

because now it's like
what challenge do you want?

I would be, like, I wanna
fucking roast these bitches.

And so that is just so crazy
to me, like, that switch.

Looking back on everything,

I can literally see
every point in every challenge

where things
started clicking for me,

how I grew every week.

And seeing who I am now

compared to who I was
when I first walked in

is just so crazy.

I just couldn't feel better.

You've grown so much,

even from when we was here
on this specific couch.

Hell, everybody's grown here.

We wouldn't be here
if we're not.

Yes.

I have fought for a long time

to be, like,
one with the in crowd,

and I had to tell myself
every day,

when I realized that
I could be myself,

that's okay, you know.

It took me a long time,
and I'm still figuring out.

And being here, putting out
this work, it's a lot,

because I, like, feel

maybe not at home
in my own body, my own mind.

I know you're
kinda guarded sometimes,

and, you know, we're all
learning to work with each other

and learning to really, like,
be around each other.

But sometimes, like,
you'll come off,

like, almost like you don't
give a fuck anymore.

You know, like, damn.

And it's kinda almost,
like... not hurtful,

but it's just nice to see
when girls are, like,

appreciative of the opportunity
we're getting.

And, like, everyone's
taking in the experience,

and sometimes it just doesn't
come off that way from you.

I know how important this is,

and sometimes I guess
I do come off that way,

and I could see how that could
be aggravating to you guys,

when you guys
are fighting to be here.

As wonderful as it is
to be here,

it has been, like,
a double challenge for me.

I'm not only working on myself,

I'm working through
these, like, issues

that I should have had
figured out before I got here.

Ladies!

Oh, yes, Miss Congenialities
walking into Untucked.

I am living.

Girl.

Girl.

I'm working through
these, like, issues

that I should have had
figured out before I got here.

I have so much work to do.

I feel like I can exude a talent
that could keep me here,

but there's something
that's off.

You know,
for a really long time...

Actually, really up to me
fucking being here,

I hid behind my, like,
white clown facepaint,

and I just used that
as my crutch

like I feel like
you use your goofiness.

And every morning, I wake up

and I'm, like, we're
fucking brilliant artists,

and we don't have fucking time
to think about things like that.

And we're in a competition
where it's all about growth,

and it's just take it in
and keep going, bitch.

Ladies!

Aah! Yes, Miss Congenialities
walking into Untucked.

I am living.

Aah! All right, sisters,
you're here!

Come in, have a little kiki
on Untucked. It's exciting.

So I need to know.

Who do you think's
going home tonight?

I just want a name.

Girl.

Girl.

I need to know.

Who do you think's
going home tonight?

- Hey, honey.
- I just want a name.

You are not
Miss Congeniality tonight!

- How about a bottom two?
- Let's do a bottom two.

A bottom two.

I think a bottom two
is Symone and Utica.

With an Olivia rising.

What I wanna know is

who's the one that takes
the longest to get ready?

She left first.

- Seriously, she's gone.
- Long gone.

And who do you guys think's
gonna be the fan favorite?

Oh, I think we have
a lot of fan...

I think we have quite a few
fan favorites this season.

- I think it could be you.
- I agree with that.

What advice do you have
for after all of this?

Ooh, that's good, bitch.

Honestly, probably
the biggest advice for me,

since I really just
went through this,

once you get home...
Not saying it's tonight...

Continue being a sisterhood.

I don't know how much
y'all like each other...

- We love each other.
- But be there for each other,

because especially, like,
filming in this huge-ass room,

y'all are the only ones

that's gonna know
this specific experience.

So as long as y'all
are there for each other

throughout all the drama
and all the bull, it'll be fine.

On my season, we were
so close and tight,

and we were there
for each other as, like...

As we were getting
knocked out one by one,

or, like, when one of us would
get, like, some hate online,

we were there for each other,
so just be there for each other.

This is not even
the most difficult part.

I think the most
difficult part's

actually navigating how you
want to represent yourself,

how you wanna move
with your career,

if you want it to be a career.

Knowing what kind
of drag queen you are,

just be very prepared to know

that you're gonna have
so much going on,

and this is the most thrilling
time in your life right now.

And in this moment, if you're
nervous, if you're scared,

just take moments to, like,
embrace being in this werkroom,

the way it feels,
because it happens so fast.

It took me... this is the episode
I went home on,

and it took me until this point
to realize why I was here.

And it was to elevate myself.

It was to be
a better version of myself.

It was to be, like,
not to try to be anybody else.

And that's tough, and you
should know that by now,

because you're here because
you are yourself, right?

You're special for some reason.

That's why you're here.

Don't lose that
as you elevate your drag

and you become
something much bigger

that you probably
always dreamed of.

Don't lose
what makes you special.

That's my biggest advice.

Sorry, it's time
to come on back.

- Oh!
- Are you kidding?

But, but, but... but, but, but...

- We love you!
- Thank you so much!

Good luck, good luck!

Valentina, come on, ass!

It's been out this whole time.

- You hungry?
- Tempting.

I'm really trying
to get into the moment,

because I know
I'm gonna be in the bottom.

And so I'm thinking
you've got to slay.

Give 'em what you got, girl,
because you know you got it.

And the judges know you got it,
so show them.

No matter what happens,
I'm just gonna give it my all.

I got this. I got this.
I can do this.

Because I love to lip sync.

All right, queens, follow me.

Can someone
find me a pinky nail?

- Oh, here it is.
- I actually need two more nails.

This is crazy!

I love you and your sister.

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Symone, Utica,

the time has come

for you to lip sync

for your life.

Symone, shantay you stay.

Syracuse, Schenectady, Utica,

next stop, the world.

Now sashay away.

I feel as though it's my time.

I am sad to leave,

because I'm leaving,
like, a safe haven.

But I'm feeling so blessed
that I was able to share

all of my, like, wiggly art
on this stage,

and I'm so proud.

Mm! Oh, werkroom!

I'm gonna miss all of this.

Oh.

Oh, I have notes.

Oh, my gosh.

"My darling Utica,
I love you very much,

"and I'm so glad we got closer
during this experience.

See you on a date."

Gonna go on a date with Liv!
Gonna go on a date with Liv!

As I started
to get to know Olivia,

she is just so kind and so good,

and we really vibe,
like, artistically.

And I asked her if she wanted
to go on a date sometime,

and she said yes.

Out of all of these girls,
like, I would love to hang out

and, like,
get to know them more.

But I think Olivia
is something special.

Okay, let's see. Ooh, Symone.

"Utica, I am
fucking in love with you."

Well, now Olivia
has competition.

"You are such an inspiration
to the world,

and the world
is going to love you."

Oh! "Go shine and be free
and wiggle to the top, baby."

Oh, Symone.

I think the biggest takeaway
from this whole thing

is now I have a little family,

and for... and being in a room
with some of the most,

like, just, like,
passionate people about drag,

just like you, oh, it's...
Like, I've learned so much!

Oh, it's so cool.

And this is only gonna get
better and better,

because now
I have all this knowledge

that I've gained from here.

So, like, it is
really a blessing.

With all this joy that I'm
feeling for my fellow sisters

and the experience
that I've gotten here,

I am sad that I am leaving.

But I feel like
with my experience,

it's about spreading love,
spreading joy,

and spreading the art, and I
think I really did that here.

I feel accomplished.

Oh.

Oh, goodbye, werkroom.

Well, now it's time to keep
wiggling to the top.

Aah!

Werk!

I want people to know
that Utica is love incarnate.

I'm here to spread art.

I'm here to spread
my goofy, goofy wiggles

all over the world.

It's my purpose here.

Well, it was fun.

I'll see you out and about,

and I'm gonna spread sunshine
wherever I go.

And I hope you brought
your sunscreen,

'cause it's gonna be bright.

Bye!
