RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 15, Episode 8 - LipSync Lalaparuza Smackdown - full transcript

MTV.

I love every last one of you

no matter how much
I hate all of y'all.

If you don't have star quality,

get the fuck out of here.

This is your moment!
Have it!

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.



- Check, walkie check.
- Copy.

Queens walking.

Baby, it's time
for the LaLaPaRuza,

and I'm so excited
'cause this is what I do

to make my money back at home.

Bitch, let's do this.

This is a strong group of girls,

and they all have their own
little tricks in their bag.

I think we're gonna see different sides
of people today.

My lip sync skills
are really, really fierce.

I'm a dancer and I'm an actor.

I can really embody a song
physically and emotionally,

and I think a lot of these girls
are not expecting it.

Welcome, queens.



For tonight's lip sync
LaLaPaRuza smackdown,

one of you will sashay away.

Three queens stand before me.

This is the final round...

and it comes with a twist.

Bruno.

Anetra.

Who do you choose to save?

Spice.

Anetra, Jax,
the time has come...

For you to lip sync

for your life.

Anetra, shantay, you stay.

Jax, sashay away.

Fatality.

Repo "Untucked" cameras
to the Werk Room.

Send the queens in three, two...

- What up?
- What?

We did it!
We did it!

I am so relieved
that Anetra saved me.

Even as "Positive Polly"
as I can be,

I thought I was going home,

so Anetra is my drag god
that I was praying to,

and she just bestowed upon me
another life in this competition.

This has been
the longest day of my life.

Oh, has it?
Wow.

I just eliminated Jax,
and I chose to save Spice

because this is not something

that is really
in her wheelhouse,

and, to be honest,
I want to beat the best,

and I want to win
against the best,

and me just picking somebody
as an easy opponent,

that's not what I wanted to do.

Sorry, Jax.

Can we cheers
to the top nine, bitches?

- Mighty fine.
- Anointed.

Well-deserved, ladies.
Well deserved.

Honestly, we all put
our fucking asses out on there.

- Our naughties.
- Yes.

And we all know that we
earned our place to be here.

So I gotta be honest
vice-versa again,

'cause I fully thought
that this was my night to go.

Spice, I'm sorry, my dear.

You are still up
for elimination.

And you know, Anetra, full tea,

like, I have genuinely loved,
like, getting to know you.

You are you,
and you stick to that,

- and I really respect that.
- Oh, thank you.

I'm curious.

For the girls
that haven't lip synced,

are people gagged
by certain people?

Like, their talents?

Or maybe they thought
they were different? Or...

I feel like I didn't know that...

I knew you were a dancer
and you were trained.

I just didn't know
you had the good tricks

up your sleeve, which I love.

That backflip, bitch.

I kind of wrote you off as like
the Rachel Berry of drag.

I kind of thought
you were just like...

- No, I thought you were...
- Sorry.

Just more of, like,
the theater kid,

like campy-campy.

But I didn't know
that you were like a dancer.

Based on my critiques last week,

it was very important
to me that I expressed

a very different side of myself.

So that's what I wanted to do,
and I think I did that.

I was so impressed with Marcia.

- You look, like, so sexy.
- And like confident.

And it was a different...
Definitely a different side

that the judges never saw.

Like, the sexpot and, like,
the standing in your own.

I'm excited
for Marcia's sexy era coming.

Yeah, this is my sex era.

Call her a dangerous woman
right now.

I was just surprised that Marcia went
with that song.

Bitch, when you chose "Boys Don't Cry,"
I was like, "Fuck!"

- You're like, "Dodie, why?"
- I wanted that one so bad.

I feel like Anetra
would eat "Boys Don't Cry."

- She would.
- Yeah.

The song that I feel like I would have
loved doing the most

was the Celine Dion song.

And I would have loved it too.

And I... but I knew you were
going to want to do that.

Oh, Malaysia was pissed when
she didn't get Celine Dion.

Also, like, I felt, like,
if this is gonna be

like, my one and only thing,
I'm gonna look the fool

doing that song in this outfit.

So I was like, "OK, what's,
like, the pop-girliest one?"

Also, I was like,
"This is definitely

the shortest one,
so we're gonna do that."

I was happy... thank you...
'cause I was out of breath

even with that being
the shortest one.

Malaysia, you held your own.

All of a sudden,
you were bucking,

- and you did your little...
- Hand thing.

Thank you.

You know I have to keep it cute.

Who was
the second lip sync song?

- Loosey versus Spice.
- Loosey versus Spice.

Oh, yeah.

How do we feel about
Loosey picking Spice?

I think we haven't really
heard from you.

I knew you were
gonna pick me, I knew.

I picked Spice because
I really, really wanted

to do the Celine Dion song,

and I firmly believe
that that is the one

- that you were gonna pick...
- Yeah.

'Cause that's the one where
you can do the most, like, bit.

Bitch,
why can you not just be real?

In what world would Spice
pick Celine Dion?

I think that she chose Spice
on purpose

because she thought that Spice
would be an easy kill,

and she wanted to go in for it.

It is what it is.

I knew that "Do You Wanna Touch"

would have been a song
that she would have done.

I did not think of that.
I should have.

Looking at the look,
I should have.

I was like, "Oh,
it goes to my outfit.

It's, like, rock.
They'll like that."

I'm in the mood
to spice things up,

so I'm gonna choose
"Do You Wanna Touch Me."

Solid choice.

Loosey, I will say,
I was really happy

you picked me 'cause I was excited
to, like, go against you.

At the end,
you took my little shawl.

You were using it
as a little, like, washcloth.

We were having our little,
like, lesbihonest moment.

Our little kai kai moment.

When you picked up the fur,

I was like, "She got it."
That was it.

- Yeah.
- I just rubbed it on there.

- Who was the third lip sync?
- Luxx and Salina.

Can I say, I was mesmerised.

Obviously that's more
of an emotion type of song,

but when you started adding
the comedy to it,

and you started getting
on the floor, we were dying.

Belly flop.
It was a wrap.

Is that what y'all called it?

I didn't know
it was a belly flop.

- Belly flop.
- Yeah.

- Oh, man.
- Oh, at the very end.

There was something...
You were, like, giving birth.

No, at the very end,
I was eating ass.

Honestly, it was
so creative and so funny.

You had so many
great little moments,

which is why I think
you probably came out on top.

- I mean, like...
- It was a risk either way.

Yeah, it was a risk.

'Cause they
could have hated that.

Absolutely, but, like,
for me and my brain,

like, that's like the route

I probably
would have taken probably.

I feel like
it always goes back to,

- is Ru entertained?
- Yeah.

I agree with that.

But, like, Luxx, you just...

- You looked so beautiful.
- Thank you.

And, like, you just know how to pose.
It's honestly stunning.

Luxx like,
"I'll drink to that."

- Who was next?
- Was it Jax and Mistress?

I chose Jax.

I feel like
it was a fair pairing

and it's strong
because I feel like

going against anyone
who was left

would have been iconic.

Jax is an incredible performer,

but I also feel like
whenever I was looking at you,

it was like
you were living the moment,

and I think that's
what really, like, sold it.

Yeah.
So who was after that?

It was us, and, honestly, it was like,
"Well, here we are, gal."

Bitch.

When I knew y'all
was the last two,

I was like, "This is gonna be
an amazing show."

Because just, like,
knowing what Anetra gave,

like, in the talent show,

already knew that she was
an amazing entertainer.

And just, like,
knowing what you do,

I was like, "This is finna be
great entertainment."

I didn't even think of it,
like, as a competition

or y'all competing
against each other.

I was like, "It's gonna be
an iconic lip sync."

Watching it from the back,

you, like, could not tell
who was gonna win.

Yeah.

The hottest thing
I've ever seen in my gay life.

I just wanted to be slapped
by Sasha ponytail.

Is your ponytail, like, insured?

- It's trademarked.
- It is trademarked.

Extend that.

People will look
at Sasha like, "Of course."

Like, you'll be like,
"Oh, she a legend.

"Oh, she's gonna be pretty.
She's gonna be sexy."

She really entertained.

She wasn't, like,
prancing around the stage

just, like,
throwing her ponytail.

Like, this bitch
was getting dirty!

Sasha is not playing.
She knows the game.

She's legendary.

She been in it for a while,
so she know what to give.

She's a fierce competitor.

Honestly, like,
getting to know you,

of course, has been incredible,
and I'm so, like, pleased

that you're, like,
a real human...

But, to me, like, Sasha Colby,

like, as an entity
has been like an inspiration

of mine, like, for so long.

You are an icon to me

and somebody
that I look up to so much.

You, as an entertainer,

has been so incredible
as an inspiration

to so many people,
and I'm so happy you're here,

and honestly, I'm honoured
to share the stage with you.

Can I just say the fact
that you idolise Sasha,

you were, like,
neck-and-neck with her.

I just want you to know
how gifted you are

because, like, it's one thing to be able
to, like, dance or whatever,

and it's a very different thing
to, like, be able to hold space,

especially, like,
next to, like, Sasha Colby.

Like, you hold your own,
and it's very impressive,

and it's very magnetic,

and, like, watching it,
we were all like,

"She does not deserve to be in the bottom,
like, in any way at all."

And you know, Anetra, full tea,

I will say,
even after the first week

of you winning the challenge,

I fully wrote you off just because
you are more quiet.

No, no, no.
Wait, wait, listen.

- What?
- Wait, listen.

Go ahead.

Just because, for me, just in real life,
I'm obsessed with a character.

I love people
that are cuckoo and crazy.

Damn, Spice.
I just saved you.

- I was like...
- Damn, girl.

No, but after the first week,

I still wrote you off
just because I was like,

"Well, you know,
she's more on the quiet...

Like, she's not the loudest."

Everyone is throwing out
their card.

Exactly.

And you know what I love
about you even more

is that not only are you
an amazing performer

but you're so humble.

You don't, like, say.
You do.

You walk the walk.

You walk the walk,

and you walk that fucking duck.

That's what I'll say.

You are very big competition.

A lot of people sleep on you.

Sometimes the quietest person
in the room,

like, they overlook you.

But, at the end of day, bitch,
you in it to win it,

- and I admire you for that.
- Yeah.

Now that we've seen everybody

kind of like in their element,
has anything changed?

How about
our biggest competition?

Spice, who is your biggest
competition at this point?

Sasha Colby.
Obviously, you are a legend.

You're an icon, but seeing you

do what you do,
it's so inspiring.

Thank you.

It really, like,
not frustrates me or annoys me,

but I was hoping, like, you would come
and not be as sickening.

But, no, bitch,
you are fucking sickening.

- Child.
- I know one thing.

If you didn't know me,
now you know me, honey.

She ain't never gonna not.

Oh!

Girl!

Baby,
as big as my reputation is,

I'm definitely gonna
step up to the plate,

and I think
they all realise that.

I'm done with her.
I'm done with her.

I feel good, I feel strong,

and I'm glad it shows.

Well, don't be counting out
Miss Spice.

OK, Anetra, who would you say
your biggest competition is?

I think I'm gonna
throw in Loosey.

Everything that Loosey does
is really, like,

- on the point or above.
- Thank you so much.

Of course.

I think that Mistress
is a really big competition.

Like, honestly, out of all
the syncs in the "Drag Race,"

and I don't want
to put nobody else down,

as big girls,
I feel like me and Mistress

have been
very great representatives

for big girls,
and it's really inspiring

to see somebody that's,
like, similar body type

just to be, like...
To motivate you.

They'll like be like, "OK,
like, keep pushing, bitch."

There's somebody here just like you
striving for this crown.

I've grown to love Mistress
throughout this competition

because we go through
some similar things

as far as being plus-size entertainers
and drag queens.

Sometimes we feel like
we have to work harder

to be seen or noticed

when it comes
to just being the queen

and trying to succeed.

I know, like, some of the girls

have been, like, kind of, like,

putting it in my ear like,
"Oh, I see you

being strategic,"
and stuff like that.

But, like, for me,
it's been, like, 15 seasons.

We haven't had
a big girl winner.

And it's time
for a big girl to win, period.

Mistress is loud, obnoxious,

and I know, like,
her day don't go by

if she don't mess
with the Babydoll.

But at the end of the day,
I know she loves the Doll.

Like, listen,
when it's all said and done,

baby, she might not make it
through this competition

without me.

So here are the facts.

Ru and the judges
have already expressed

that they love
Marcia, Luxx, Mistress.

They love Anetra.
They love you.

So right off the bat,
I feel like, "Fuck."

So all y'all big competition.

I want to get you together
'cause I love you.

A lot of times, you really
talk down on yourself,

and you don't give yourself
enough credit.

Just because you witness, like,
all the positive things

that was said about us,

I've been on
the same stage with you,

and you've got a lot of praise.

You need to start
giving yourself more credit

and stop beating yourself up

and not look at yourself
as, like,

I'm good but I'm not good
as everybody else.

Because we all on
the same playing field

at the end of the day,
no matter who we think

is the top or the bottom
or whatever.

Stop doing that to yourself.

And, honestly, like, as somebody

that's known you
before all this, like,

I've been so drawn to you

as being such
a unique performer.

And your show
has won awards here in L.A.

My show was up against
her show, and she won.

You work so hard.

I just want you to know
that it's seen.

- Thank you.
- You are so fucking special.

The fact that you always have
a fucking story on the runway,

and it always either
makes me laugh,

or I'm like, "Oh, my God,
she's fucking gorgeous."

Can you just say
that you're gorgeous?

We all know you're gorgeous.
Say it for me.

- Say you're gorgeous.
- You're gorgeous.

You can dance.

You look like Linda Evangelista.

Could I wear
a diaper on the runway?

Yes, you can.

- Yeah.
- You're sickening, bitch.

We're all, like,
fucking sickening performers.

We're all
incredible drag queens.

But, like,
my biggest competition,

personally, it's kind of
all of you, honestly.

I look at all of you,
and I see something about myself

that I can improve.

And I don't want anyone
whose name isn't mentioned

to feel like
they're not competition.

Because at the end of the day,
everyone is fucking competition.

But I don't want anybody
to feel like

what they feel is invalid.

I feel like I'm supposed to be
on everybody's list, you know?

- No.
- It's just all preference.

We all see competition
from different point of view.

Yeah.

I would just like to say
the fact that we have

a conversation about
who is our biggest competition,

and it has turned into,
like, such a supportive thing

I think speaks a lot about us.

It really speaks
to how much we love drag.

- Yes.
- And how much we care about that.

Can we do a group hug
after this?

Let's get out of drag first.

That was the halfway point,

and I feel like this has, like,
really reinvigorated all of us

to keep fucking going.
Right?

And really think about
what everyone said.

If you didn't get
any compliments,

be mad at your station.

We made it.
Top nine, baby!

Top nine.

I beat Jax in Lalaparuza,

and regardless if I'm branded
a lip sync assassin or not,

I know
what I bring to the table.

The only reason
some of the girls

might not see me
as a lip sync assassin

is because I've never landed in the bottom
and had to lip sync.

You can't deny
how fierce I've been.

Point blank. Period.

I think the Lalaparuza showed
who are the front runners

of this competition.

Right now, I'm feeling hopeful.

Ow.

But we're getting down
to the nitty gritty,

and it's hard.

Jax is gone, and I can definitely feel
her absence in the room.

At this point in the competition,
it's very much survival of the fittest.

- Rolling on Jax's pack up.
- Copy.

This is not the part
I was excited for.

It's only fitting
that the lip syncing,

dancing diva goes home
on a lip-syncing episode.

I'm very thankful

that I got to show off
some of what Jax is,

but I had so much more to show,

and I would definitely still...

love to be here another day
to slay.

My biggest disappointment
in myself

is that I was really in my head

and not able
to fully let go of myself.

Getting the critiques
from Michelle and Ru,

now I know things
that I have to work on

and just incorporate
into my everyday repertoire

that can just really make me

the best version of myself.

Who left
a cute little note for me?

Oh.
It's Miss EsTitties.

"Miss Jaxon,
bitch, my POC sister.

Bitch, from the moment
you walked in,

I was so grateful
to get to share

this experience with you.

I get you.
You get me.

Stop any self-doubt,
any insecurities,

any feelings you have,
feel them and let them go.

Xoxo, Salina EsTitties."

I love her so much.
I'm gonna miss her a lot.

My advice to any baby queens
trying to get into drag,

in general, is just to let go,

have fun, and just do
what brings you joy,

and what brings me joy
is performing,

and I'm not gonna stop that
anytime soon.

Oh, my gosh.

Goodbye.

Oh, I'm gonna miss this place.

Bye.

I am absolutely proud
of what I've done.

The only thing
I would have changed

throughout this competition
is just

to let myself get stupid
in other aspects of drag

the way that I do
when I perform.

But I'm just gonna
keep getting better

because I love to grow and I love
to challenge myself.

Even though I'm known as
a high-energy dancing queen,

I'm so much more than that.

All right.
The MVP is back to NYC.

Let's go.

Eh.
