RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 13, Episode 5 - The Bag Ball - 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.

Welcome, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Denali, Elliott With 2 Ts,

Symone, Olivia Lux,

Tina Burner, Kandy Muse.

Ladies, you are safe.

You may leave the stage.

I was really confident
about the costume I created.

At this point,

I really don't know
what the judges are thinking.

So that's what's
really frustrating.

The moment Ru says
that I am safe,

I am so overcome
with joy and happiness



that I've made it
to the next week,

because my look
was very minimalistic.

But I feel like
I'm on steady ground,

and I feel lovely!

All cameras up.

Copy that. Here we go.

We got the queens walking.

Oh, ho, ho, baby, yeah.

Shows, dance, and shenanigans.

It's time to talk
some shit, honey.

We have much to discuss.

Let's get into it, because
I'm a little gagged right now.

Gaggarina. Gagalina,
gagatreentra, gagarama.

As happy as I am to be safe,

the ball is a challenge
to win, right?

And to me, some of the best
looks on the runway

are safe right now.

I was feeling so confident,

that I was, like, I feel like
I can really be in the top.

- This is stunning.
- Thank you.

I thought you
could have possibly won.

I really was, like,

maybe there was a chance
that I could have won.

At the end of the day, I'm here
to compete and I have that fire.

And so I'm a little peeved
that I'm, like, not in the top.

I will say I'm a little upset
that I'm not in the top,

because I feel very confident

in what I'm doing
in this competition.

But these opportunities,

getting able to speak
with Ru and the judges

are very sacred.

With being safe in this game,
it's not a great place to be.

- Right.
- But that little saboteur,

it can really get to talking
to you when you are safe.

I did put my heart
and soul into it,

and I don't wanna compare
to others.

But it's just, like,
I'm missing out

on the opportunity to speak
and to connect with them.

That's all.

Girl, fuck all that.

I have been getting read
every single week

for my looks on the runway.

My three looks today
were on mother fucking point.

So the fact that
I am not sitting up there

at least getting critiqued
and being told,

"Oh, you listened
and you applied,"

it's beyond me.

Because it is
such a strong cast,

it's very hard to be
sometimes in the background,

and you can get caught up
in that background.

And to me, the safe zone
can be that background.

- Oh, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

Look, they liked
something about us

for us to be safe,
and it's sickening.

Like, we should all be proud
of ourselves for that.

So don't go to that place
just yet.

I'm happy.
I am so mother fucking happy.

I am not... I'm not mad
or anything.

I didn't come in here
expecting to win everything.

I came in here expecting
to give myself

and see how people react to it.

The reaction has been positive.

I've took a fucking beanbag
and made it a fucking dress.

With suspenders. You're welcome.

I think in the top
is definitely Rosé,

Utica, and Mik.

And in the bottom is LaLa,
Tamisha, and...

- And Joey?
- Joey.

Tamisha, for someone
who sews for a living,

knowing how to sew
and having taste

are two different things.

Heller.

Because the taste level
was not there.

The outfit was a mess.

100%.

I would at least say LaLa...

Yo, I don't know
what went wrong with LaLa.

I don't understand.

I looked at what she had
at first, and it was cute.

That outfit is enough to
put you right in the bottom.

Had she had time or something,

like, it could have been,
like, sickening.

If you had to choose
for someone to go home

based on what we saw out there,
who would you choose?

I would have to say Tamisha.

- Tamisha. Tamisha.
- Yeah.

- Tamisha.
- Unfortunately.

Just on what we saw.

Elliott, you never
answered the question.

What?

Who would you want
to go home tonight?

Well, I don't want anyone
to go home, but...

Well, no, but if someone's
going home...

Well, I wasn't done.

Based on what we saw tonight...

Girl, I'm gonna throw this can
across this fucking room.

Girl, you asked me a question.

I'm trying to answer
the damn question!

My question for the group
would be

since we are safe
and we aren't getting critiques,

is there any critiques

that girls here
could give to each other?

Elliott, I think you need
more self-awareness.

I think sometimes
you need to read the room.

I think sometimes
you try really, really hard

to fit in
with the rest of the group,

and you need to start
being a little more aware.

And I'm telling you
this as a sister.

I'm so confused where this
is coming from, though.

I mean, there are just certain
things that you say and do

that are just a little
off-putting that...

And that's why
I don't understand that...

Why this is coming up now.

If it was something
that happened...

Well, we're giving critiques.

I could have kept it to myself
and not said anything,

but I'm talking to you as a sis.

If you don't want that,
I don't have to give it to you.

You don't have to get fresh
all of a sudden for no reason.

Calm down.

Miss Thing,
don't try it with me.

I'm not trying nothin'.

I'm just saying I'm responding
to what you said.

Is that okay?

And I'm telling you as a sister

you need more self-awareness.

Because we just said here if we
had critiques for each other,

what would it be?

My critique to you
is have more self-awareness.

Read the room. Period.

End of discussion.
Moving on next.

Wow.

Thank you, ladies.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck
in the werkroom,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

- Oh! Oh!
- Oh, they're back!

Hello, hello.

- What's up?
- Hi, everyone.

One, two, three, four.

What is the tea?

Before you tell us the tea,
can we guess what the tea is?

- Yeah.
- Um, all right, so top is Mik,

Rosé, and Utica.

And that would have
to make you three the bottom.

- The bottoms.
- Right?

That's what it seems like, yep.

So, critiques, critiques,
what's up?

Wait. Did you say it's right
or it's not right?

Yeah, that should be right.

At the end of the day,
I'm gonna speak for myself.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

It's a couple of you girls
I really don't care for,

but I have to commend you
on your drag.

This is Drag Race.

I'm kinda old school,
and y'all are doing drag.

I commend y'all on that,
you hear what I'm saying?

So I know why I'm in the bottom.

I don't have a problem
with that.

But I'm one to give props
where props are due.

Y'all turned it.

- Thank you.
- And I still say

it's a couple of girls in here
I don't care for,

because you have some really
nasty attitudes or whatever.

But that's just me personally.

You look like
you're looking at me.

- You talking about me?
- You one, but I'm just saying...

I don't think
I have a nasty attitude.

I think I just say how it is.

Keep in mind,
it's not like that.

You're overconfident.

And there's nothing wrong
with that,

but it just come off
as arrogant.

That's just my opinion.
I'm nobody, though.

Oh, wait, hold on.

Do I come off as arrogant

to anyone else in this group?

Yes, Kandy.

You know you're arrogant, girl.

That's not necessarily
a bad thing.

Well, I think
there's a difference

between being arrogant
and being confident

- who the fuck you are.
- It is a difference.

You're not being confident.

You're being arrogant.

I don't see arrogance.

Oh, no, no, no, hold on.
If I'm being arrogant,

every mother fucking morning,

every single one of you bitches
sits up in that mirror

and smiles
in my mother fucking face.

So if I'm being arrogant,

you bitches can call it out

the way I call out
every single thing I see

in this mother fucking werkroom
when something ain't right.

I just did.

No, because I was just
called "arrogant."

There's a difference between
being confident in who you are

and what you're
putting out into the world.

And it's not my fault
I could walk up in here

and light up the room,
and you can't.

- Period.
- Who you talking to?

Who you addressing that to?

To anyone that wants
to take it personally.

Oh, well,
I didn't take it personal,

because I didn't think
you was talking to me.

So with that being said,
that I'm arrogant,

then I'll be
mother fucking arrogant

till the day
I mother fucking die.

Girl.

Girl.

I'm arrogant to you?

- No.
- I'm arrogant to you?

I'm arrogant to you?
I'm arrogant to you?

- I'm arrogant to you?
- A little bit.

Okay. I'm arrogant to you?

What are you doing
right now, girl?

I asked a question.
Am I arrogant to you?

I was called arrogant,

so I wanna ask the girls
if I'm arrogant.

So I'm arrogant to you?

Some of the things you have said

I've thought were
a little bit arrogant,

but that doesn't
make me dislike you.

If I'm saying something
arrogant in the moment,

call it out.

I think you're being arrogant
right now, girl.

If we think there's
something wrong with it.

Oh, yeah, I just
got called arrogant!

Of course I'm defensive
and I'm fucking upset.

You just walked in here saying,

"Oh, I don't like you
because you're being arrogant."

Girl, get the fuck out
of here with that bull shit.

Oh, well, that's not bull
shit, that's a fact, baby.

Like I said, if you
don't have star quality,

get the fuck outta here.

Girl, star quality?

I've been around 30 years,
little girl.

- That's fine.
- Little girl.

And you're in the bottom
tonight.

Every week somebody's
gonna be in the bottom.

Every week.

So like I said, little girl,
I've been around 30 years.

And I'm sitting here
pretty, safe.

- And you are pretty.
- So let me be arrogant.

Let me be arrogant baby.

It does not change what I said.
I said what I said.

I never, ever heard any of you
bitches in this competition

tell that to me to my face.

I just did!

I don't know how we just got
from point A to point B,

because all I said
as y'all walked in,

I said, "How do you guys feel?

"Let's talk about
who we think were in the tops,

in the bottoms," because
we all know we killed it

and we all were there.

And all of a sudden,
it turned into

"I don't like people in here,"
and "You're arrogant."

Like, out of nowhere.

But I'm saying,
like, all we asked was

who's in the top
and who's in the bottom?

Let's have a conversation
about that.

And then you went, "There are
bitches in here I don't like."

If you don't like me,

you don't have to pretend
you like me. It's fine.

I don't pretend.
I'm a grown-ass woman.

- What am I pretending?
- It's fine. It's fine.

Well, where did that
conversation come from?

It came from because
as I have observed you girls...

I don't give a fuck.

- We... we...
- I don't give a fuck.

Neither one of us gives a fuck.

No, you do, because
you walked in here

saying, "I don't like
some of you girls."

- But I don't...
- You. So you care.

It's not that I care.

It was just I was addressing
the situation.

I'm telling you right now,
so I'm gonna walk away,

because I need to calm down,
because bitches in here

is mother fucking trying me,

and I'm ready
to pop the fuck off.

Because you gonna sit here
and call me arrogant

and that you don't like me.

Bitch, you don't know me

from a mother fucking
hole in the wall, all right?

I'm not gonna be too many
bitches, little girl.

So I suggest...

I'm not gonna be
too many bitches.

- Yes, the hell you are.
- You got the right one.

I'm not gonna be
too many bitches.

- Like I said...
- I don't care about the bark.

I'm about to bite.

And there was an issue
that y'all had,

y'all could have brought it up.

You got the right one,
little girl.

Therefore, I don't give a fuck

what any of the bottom girls
have to say about me.

- It don't matter, girl.
- Because I'm staying here safe.

- This is a game.
- Suck it, bitch.

- This is a game.
- That's what I'm talking about.

How shit gets spun
into shit like that?

All we said, who's the top,
who's bottom?

- It was unnecessary.
- You asked a question.

We didn't ask that question.
Nobody asked that question.

I answered that question.

No, we said who's in the top
and who was in the bottom?

I'm in the bottom,
so I'm gonna rehearse my lyrics.

I'm in the bottom.

What all did I say
that you heard?

Girls, I don't wanna
be here right now.

- I wanna go outside.
- Just come sit.

I do not wanna be in here,

because I'm gonna smack
the shit out of someone.

I do not wanna be here.

Bitch, you may hit many things,
but you won't hit me.

- This is ridiculous.
- You won't hit me.

Girl, I said best
you keep your shut.

- I'm the right one, little girl.
- Shut the fuck up.

I'm the right one for you,
little girl.

Stop antagonizing her!

At the end of the day,
you walked in here...

I said what I said.

Tamisha, just leave her alone.

If you don't like me,
then that's not my issue, baby.

Guys, stop, stop.

I've never been arrogant to you.

Never. I have never, baby girl.

How can you say that?

Just go. Go, go, go, go.

I want to go outside.
I do not wanna be in here.

Go, go.

Take her out

before I have to carry her out.

Well, there goes Untucked
for this week.

Oh, my God.

Am I crazy?

I mean, yes, you are crazy,

but you've got a mind
and you speak up.

But, I mean,
and it came out of nowhere.

It's on tape, sis.
Check the tapes, rewind it.

And like I said,
you sitting in the bottom

and I'm sitting in
the mother fucking safe, bitch,

and you're mad because your ass
is gonna go home tonight.

Goodbye.

And if that makes me arrogant,

then so mother fucking be it.

I don't give a fuck.

Because you done pissed me off.

- Kandy.
- Chill out.

Look, sis, we all
just saw what happened.

We were there.

Take a breath.
You're fine, all right?

You safe, she's in the bottom.

We're all just
heated angels today.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

We're heated
little angels today.

Aah!

- Aah!
- Aah!

I hate outside! I hate outside!

Aah!

They're shady sisters, bitch.

- Is it on me?
- No!

Did it leave?

Aah!

Aah!

I can't!

I hate the outdoors.

With me, like,
randomly for no reason

being, like, oh, I thought you
should have been in the bottom.

But you could say
what you wanna say,

but nobody else
can say what they wanna say.

It's exhausting.

Girl.

Girl.

You all right, baby?

I'm fine.

But I'm not one
to sugar coat it.

I'm gonna bring it to you.

But it wasn't in... like, I...

- But she can't take that.
- She can't take it.

Sorry that had to happen.

- It did not bother me.
- Yeah.

You provoked it,
and when I answered it,

you got in your feelings.

Tina and Kandy,

for whatever reason,
I just don't click.

I can communicate with them
because I can respect them,

but doing all that
slapping of the hand,

girl, that does nothing.

That make you look ignorant.

You know, my thing is
you don't have to be cutthroat.

We didn't come here for that.

You know, you've said several
things under your breath.

"You my biggest competition."

Bitch, there's 12 of us
in the contest.

It's dismissive.

That's the arrogance part.

With me, like,
randomly for no reason

being, like, oh, I thought you
should have been in the bottom.

And that's what I'm saying, but
you can say what you wanna say,

but nobody else
can say what they wanna say.

It's exhausting.

At the end of the day,
I said what I said.

I was not trying
to go off on anyone,

but I was very upset.

With the way things
just went down in this room

was very disgusting.

On my part, too,
because I'm a ham.

But what you did was rude.

Don't point at me. It was.

Now, to my girls over here,

I apologize for going off
the way I went off.

I sit here and I try
to make everyone kiki

and joke and laugh

and make sure everyone's
having a good time.

Just yesterday,
the girls were in the mirror

talking about, oh, Kandy,
you light up the room.

We have so much joy
working with you.

And now the next day,
oh, Kandy, you're arrogant.

Pick a side
and then come talk to me.

Kandy is the oil
and Tamisha is the water,

and it's just not mixing.

Anything could happen.

I thought the competition
was unpredictable.

10 minutes, ladies.
10 minutes till main stage.

I really like this.

Yeah?

It's really cute.
It's really nice.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

I don't know
what's gonna happen,

but I just felt like...

I felt like Tamisha got more
positive comments than I did.

No, bitch, no.

Do you, at the end of the day,
because you don't know.

Like I said,
whatever happens at the end,

whoever goes home, bitch, we've
had a wonderful experience.

I know I did.

- We made it to Drag Race.
- We made it to Drag Race, sis.

And don't you get emotional,
bitch.

Because we're not gonna cry
before we go on the stage.

Holy shit.

I can't go home.

It's not a good feeling.

Girl.

Girl.

When I'm telling you about,

like, having, like,
more, like, sense of awareness,

like, reading the room,
it's not an attack.

And if you take that
as an attack, I apologize.

I don't, I don't.

I don't want you
to have a bad experience.

I don't want that for you,

because I wouldn't want that
for myself.

I sometimes have a tone
that I'm not aware of,

or I present myself
a certain way.

I don't want people to think
I'm a bitch, because I'm not.

And you don't come off that way.

I genuinely am not.

It's like, you know,
you just popped off, sis,

and it feels like
the same thing, like...

Oh, no, no, no.

What I did with
Miss Thing over here,

girl, you would feel that one.

I'm not feeling good
about the fact

that I might be up
to lip sync at all.

But if I have
to lip sync tonight, baby,

whoever it is against,
you better watch out, girl.

If I have to lip sync,

I'm going to give them
everything I can.

I am gonna let them know
that I'm here for a reason.

I'm gonna make it memorable.

- Right now?
- Main stage-iana.

Let's go.

- Oh!
- Have fun!

Welcome back, ladies.

LaLa Ri, Joey Jay,

the time has come

for you to lip sync

for your life!

Ladies, I've made my decision.

LaLa Ri, shantay you stay.

Joey Jay, you've only
just begun to slay.

Now sashay away.

I'm really sad to leave
the competition.

I really wish
I could be here longer,

because I still have a lot
that I can offer to the table

that I have not had a chance
to showcase yet.

It's no fun to go home early.

No one wants to go home
this early.

Werk.

Hello, werkroom.

Even though
I'm the second queen to leave,

I am so grateful.

It has been an experience.

Oh, my gosh, a note.

It's from Utica.

"Thank you so much for being
so kind and good to me.

"Performing next to you
gives me so much joy,

"and I'm so stoked to have
such a good goon as a friend.

Miss you so much.
Love you, Utica."

I love her.

I'm really disappointed
going home this early.

This is hard.

This is really hard.

But being here

has probably, like,
progressed my drag tenfold.

I've never
memorized lines before,

I've never been in front
of a green screen before,

I've never rapped before.

So to, like, do all of that
and get complimented on it,

I'm so excited of what I'm
going to get to do with this.

So, yeah.

This whole experience
is so validating.

I've always been one
to be different

and enjoy being different,

and I made it to
the fucking Olympics of drag.

I know that I belong here,

and I didn't get here
by accident.

This is just the beginning.

Goodbye, everyone.

Love yourself.

Be gay as fuck.
It'll take you places.

See you on the other side!
