00:10Oh my God.
00:11Hershey has gone home,
00:12and we're breathing a sigh of relief
00:14that we weren't the first to go,
00:15and at the same time,
00:16like, Hershey was my friend.
00:18It says whiplash, love Hershey.
00:21Whiplash, whiplash.
00:23There's a lot of emotions
00:24going through my head
00:26because Hershey's one of the
00:27persons that I got close to,
00:29but, you know, I did what I gotta do.
00:31I definitely do not deserve
00:32to be in the bottom.
00:34I mean, the outfit speaks for itself.
00:36I think these queens are shady
00:38because they've saved Mirage
00:40when Mirage should have been
00:41in the bottom,
00:42and I can see how they're
00:43gonna start playing the game,
00:44and that's okay,
00:45because I can play a game too.
00:47Nymphia, con-drag-ulations.
00:50Do I get my leche now?
00:53Wait, wait, wait, how does it feel?
00:54It feels crazy to actually, like,
00:55win something of $5,000.
00:59Thank you, how'd you feel?
01:01A little bummed by the results, honestly,
01:03because my outfit was
01:05all unconventional materials.
01:07And also, I got, like,
01:09perfect critiques,
01:10and I don't think, like, Nymphia did.
01:17She said I almost won once again.
01:19I know, it's like
01:20the second time in the top.
01:22It stings not winning,
01:23but RuPaul, it's okay,
01:24you made the wrong decision.
01:26I forgive you,
01:27but don't let me lose next time.
01:29So, during Untucked,
01:31there was a little bit
01:32of a tense moment
01:33between my new sister
01:34and my old sister,
01:36Plain Jane.
01:37Younger sister.
01:38Okay.
01:39I gave a little bit
01:40of an unsolicited, you know,
01:41opinion slash critique
01:42on Amanda's look.
01:43So the way I remember it
01:44is that Plain came up to Amanda
01:45and said, quite frankly,
01:46I don't like anything you've done
01:47or who you are.
01:51Listen, listen.
01:52What's up?
01:53As we get to know each other,
01:54I hope you're able to sort of
01:55sway my opinion
01:56on how you've been looking.
02:00It's no tea.
02:01It's no tea.
02:06Adrenaline was flowing.
02:07You know, cocktails
02:08were also flowing.
02:09Oh, now she blames it
02:10on the edit and the alcohol.
02:13No, no, no, no, no.
02:14I don't need to blame it
02:15on anything.
02:16I'll take responsibility
02:17for what I said, baby.
02:18I do want to apologize
02:19for giving my unsolicited
02:20feedback to you
02:21when it wasn't needed.
02:22Or even relevant
02:23to the conversation.
02:24Sure.
02:26She honestly can eat
02:27my fucking ass.
02:28It was the way that you
02:29came up to her
02:30and not having the same
02:31relationship that we do with her.
02:32Right.
02:33You did say the same thing
02:34that we have said to her.
02:38It didn't feel the same
02:39because you didn't have
02:40that same relationship.
02:41Once I get to know you
02:42a bit more, maybe I can,
02:43you know, shade you
02:44in a bit more of a fun way
02:45instead of a...
02:46Well, I hope you stay around
02:47long enough to do so.
02:49Likewise, girl.
02:50Likewise.
02:51Here's the deal.
02:52You can't unring a bell.
02:53Now it's just a matter
02:54of how can we move forward.
02:55Are we each other's
02:56favorite people now?
02:57No.
02:58Does it matter to me?
02:59No.
03:00Let the shade begin.
03:03Don't look at this.
03:04You'll see the safety pins
03:05in the back, baby.
03:12It's a new day
03:13in the workroom
03:14and I'm feeling pussy.
03:15I'm feeling cunt.
03:16And I am doing my best
03:18to stay as far away
03:19from plain Jane as possible
03:20because I don't want to get
03:21in trouble for fighting
03:22her bitch ass.
03:23I'm ready to put
03:24the ball behind me.
03:26Are we putting drama
03:27behind us as well?
03:31I'm not quite so sure yet.
03:33We'll see how things play out.
03:34I think it's safe to say
03:35I'm here to shine
03:36like the big, bright star
03:38that I am.
03:39The stars are full of gas, baby.
03:46Hello, hello, hello.
03:47Hello, hello, hello.
03:52My queens.
03:55America's Next Drag Superstar
03:56can't rely on her
03:58good looks alone.
04:00She's got to develop
04:01her character.
04:04So, back by popular demand
04:06for this week's
04:07Maxi Challenge,
04:09you'll be starring
04:10in the sketch comedy show
04:11RDR Live.
04:14Today, you need to
04:15choose your parts
04:16and rehearse
04:17your padded asses off
04:20because tomorrow,
04:21you'll be performing
04:22your sketches live
04:24in one take.
04:26There you go.
04:27Get it right.
04:28It's literally SNL, honey.
04:31I'm a little,
04:32I'm goose bumps, mama.
04:33Like, if you fuck it up,
04:34that's it.
04:35It's over.
04:36Now remember,
04:37this challenge is all about
04:38creating a breakout character.
04:40Racers,
04:41start your engines
04:42and may the best drag queen
04:43win.
04:44All right.
04:47RDR Live.
04:49There are five sketches.
04:50Why don't we just go down
04:51that list of characters
04:52and we can raise our hands
04:53if we're interested in a role.
04:54Who wants Brandon Cooper?
04:55I would love to have that role.
04:57And you're the only one.
04:59So it's mine.
05:01Who wants to be Donna Lemon?
05:03And that's just you.
05:04I'm really interested
05:05in News Anchor One.
05:06I'd love to be
05:07News Anchor Two.
05:08I see the news
05:09room sketch
05:10with the late night anchors.
05:11This is
05:12the Seth Meyers
05:13Amy Poehler moment
05:14I have been waiting for.
05:16I'm also interested
05:17in News Anchor Two.
05:18Love.
05:19And then we have
05:20Brick from Stonewall,
05:21which is all of you.
05:22How many people
05:23want the brick?
05:24I'll take the brick.
05:26The role of the brick,
05:27I see so much potential
05:28for, like, physical comedy
05:30and I see myself in it.
05:32It's accepting the Oscar
05:33as a brick.
05:35There's really only one thing
05:36that I want to do
05:37and that's Candy Long.
05:38So I'm going to take Candy
05:39and I'm going to let you girls
05:40fight it out for Connie.
05:42Who wants to be Connie?
05:43Connie's slutty, right?
05:44Yeah, Connie's both slutty
05:45and fun.
05:46I'm a little nervous
05:47about you doing Connie.
05:49Why are you nervous?
05:50You want the thesis?
05:51I think that I'm going
05:52to excel in this role.
05:53Uh-huh.
05:54And I want you to excel
05:55in your role as well.
05:56So you think you're going
05:57to outshine me from the get-go?
05:58Because that's
05:59what you're saying.
06:00I'm not saying
06:01what you're saying.
06:02No, I know, I know.
06:03Stop making drama.
06:05I just want her reasoning.
06:07I would love to do Connie
06:08and we're both stupid sluts.
06:10We can slut it up.
06:11Yeah.
06:12I think she was scared
06:13that I was going
06:14to outshine her.
06:15I didn't even want that role
06:16and you know what?
06:17She's a cunt.
06:19And then the host,
06:20to be the...
06:21So who wants the host?
06:22Me.
06:23I want to host.
06:24I really, really want
06:25to do the hosting
06:26because it's not a character
06:27and I can just put
06:28my own personality into it.
06:29That honestly is
06:30the most important role,
06:31I believe.
06:32It sets the tone
06:33and this person has
06:34to absolutely destroy
06:35it.
06:36I feel like I would
06:37do really well.
06:38I see Safiya doing
06:39really great in that too.
06:40I think it would be
06:41very interesting to see
06:42you in a host position.
06:43Safiya, are you willing
06:44to bow down and give?
06:45I'm never willing
06:46to bow down.
06:47We could either do it
06:48rock, paper, scissors
06:49or vote.
06:50I think that's the most fair.
06:52I'm going to do
06:53Lowenstein.
06:54Oh.
06:55Oh.
06:56I really know that
06:57I'm going to turn out
06:58anything I do,
06:59so she can have it.
07:00You can't know about that.
07:01You're locking me in.
07:02Nada has spoken.
07:03All right.
07:04I guess I'm hosting.
07:05No, I guess.
07:06No, I guess.
07:07I'm reading.
07:08Yes, I guess I'll host.
07:09It seems like
07:10the second that Safiya
07:11gives Miraj
07:12the role of host,
07:13she's like,
07:14oh, okay.
07:16I thought you wanted it.
07:17You good?
07:19Yeah.
07:20It's making me
07:21second guess
07:22if I want it
07:23because now I think
07:24she's played the game,
07:25but at the end of the day,
07:26I got what I wanted,
07:27so can I really
07:28be mad at her?
07:29And then we have Sketch 5.
07:30I think we should make
07:31the Singing Girls
07:32do this one.
07:33This is literally
07:34a preschool song.
07:35This sketch is about
07:36Barbra Streisand,
07:37but I'm reading the sketch
07:38and thinking,
07:39you don't have to sing.
07:40It's fucking Jingle Bells.
07:41You don't have to be
07:42a choir director
07:43to sing Jingle Bells.
07:44I'm sticking with
07:45News Anchor 2.
07:46Right.
07:47I feel like we could all
07:48do great in a number of places.
07:49I'd like to stick
07:50with News Anchor 2.
07:51Cool.
07:52I think personally
07:53that me and Amanda
07:54have a great rapport.
07:55We're becoming good friends,
07:56and I think that
07:57we would eat up
07:58Anchor 1 and 2 together.
07:59I'm sorry, Plasma,
08:00but I also think
08:01that Barbra Streisand
08:02was written for you.
08:03It's written for you, girl.
08:05Me, Amanda, and Q
08:06are all friends,
08:07and we want to do
08:08this scene together,
08:09and Plasma wants my role.
08:11Can't you see
08:12what's happening?
08:13We've decided this already.
08:14I'm so sorry, Diva,
08:15but you will eat up
08:16Barbra Streisand.
08:17I know this.
08:18Can you do it?
08:19Thanks.
08:20Thank you, baby.
08:21I just feel like
08:22I was kicked out
08:23of the News Anchor group
08:24without my say.
08:25It's just an opinion, girl.
08:26Not a lot of people share.
08:29It feels very much like
08:30I'm being assigned
08:31a role by someone
08:32who's never cast
08:33a comedy show before.
08:35Fine, well, at least
08:36give me the part
08:37with the highest note
08:38so I can belt.
08:39I'll take Bryce.
08:41Anchor 1, 2,
08:42and Brick, right?
08:43I think that's set up.
08:44Okay, cool.
08:45Cool, cool, cool.
08:46Wait, dude.
08:47Yeah, you better turn it out.
08:48Girl, you'll eat it up.
08:49You'll be fine.
08:50You will.
08:51Girl, you know what?
08:52It would be convenient
08:53for you to remind me
08:54how good I am
08:55at what you assign me to.
08:56All right, all right.
08:57Woo-hoo!
08:58Yes, Lady Gatekeep.
08:59Girl boss.
09:00Yes, girl boss.
09:01I got it, I got it.
09:02Woo-hoo!
09:03Candy Long and Connie Sick.
09:06We are the first sketch,
09:07so it's really up to us
09:08to set the tone.
09:10For this week's
09:11Maxi Challenge,
09:12we're doing RDR Live,
09:14and we're going to be
09:15performing these sketches
09:16in one take live.
09:18Like...
09:21First of all,
09:22I can sense some stern
09:24and unhappiness from you.
09:25I don't have a lot
09:28of warm, fuzzy feelings.
09:29about the way
09:30the news anchor situation
09:31was approached.
09:32I just don't really
09:33appreciate the card
09:34being played of like,
09:35well, Amanda and I
09:36are already close,
09:37so it should be us.
09:38I'm like,
09:39so are you package deal?
09:40Like, is this dodgeball?
09:41Yeah.
09:42Can I sit at the
09:43lunch table, girls?
09:44I'm not someone who
09:45impersonates Barbara.
09:46It's one of the impersonations
09:47that I try to stay away from.
09:48She is one of those people
09:49that I hold in such high regard
09:50that I don't want to
09:51make fun of in any way.
09:52First of all,
09:53thinking about not
09:54disrespecting people
09:55and all that kind of stuff,
09:56this is comedy.
09:57Yeah, yeah.
09:58You know, like,
09:59hello, gorgeous.
10:00I do know so much about her,
10:01and I do love Barbara.
10:02When I saw Funny Girl
10:03for the first time,
10:04I remember thinking,
10:05this is a performance
10:06like I've never seen before.
10:07When she was 19,
10:08she made her Broadway debut
10:09in I Can Get It For You
10:10wholesale.
10:11She was actually
10:12one of the first artists
10:13I owned on vinyl.
10:14Directed and starred
10:15in Yentl?
10:16Funny Girl was her first movie
10:17and her second Broadway show,
10:18and then she, like,
10:19moved to Hollywood.
10:20They told her to get
10:21a nose job, and she didn't,
10:22and then she won the Oscar
10:23her first time out.
10:24It intimidates me to,
10:25like, try to,
10:26you know what?
10:28Fuck the intimidation.
10:29I'm gonna feel this fear
10:30and I'm gonna do it anyway.
10:31The spirit of Barbara
10:32has never led me astray.
10:34I'm gonna be okay,
10:35so fuck you,
10:36fuck you,
10:37fuck you,
10:38and fuck you.
10:39I don't worry about Barbara.
10:40I'll say thick,
10:41you say long,
10:42and we say deck services.
10:43Call us out.
10:44Thick.
10:45And long.
10:46Deck services.
10:47Okay, I kind of like that.
10:48Yeah.
10:49I kind of like that
10:50a lot, actually.
10:51As someone from New York,
10:52like, SNL is a part
10:54of our culture,
10:55and I'm a cosplayer,
10:56and I love
10:57playing characters,
10:58so getting the chance
10:59to do a weird character
11:01and make it funny,
11:02this is what I'm made for.
11:04If there's anyone in this
11:05that I'd want to be
11:06doing this role with,
11:07it's you.
11:08I feel like our sense of humor
11:09is very similar in the,
11:11like,
11:12ugh,
11:13I'm such a
11:14slutty, beautiful woman.
11:15Sure, well,
11:16we're yet to see
11:17your sort of
11:18full sense of humor emerge.
11:20Truly.
11:21But hopefully it will
11:22with this diva.
11:23I wanted to work with somebody
11:24who was a little bit different
11:25and I feel like
11:26I kind of got that
11:27with Megami more so
11:28than I would have
11:29with Morphine.
11:30We're playing a game, bitch,
11:31and I'm trying
11:32to be strategic.
11:36Over here on Team Mirage,
11:37we are struggling
11:39a little bit.
11:40Initially, I was excited
11:41to work by myself,
11:42but then upon realizing
11:43that everyone else
11:44has someone to run
11:45their ideas by
11:46and bounce things off of,
11:47and now I'm like,
11:48if you drop the ball,
11:49it's all on you.
11:51So I don't have anybody
11:52to blame besides myself,
11:54I'm hearing we have
11:55a GOP leader
11:56joining us live
11:57from South Carolina,
11:59Senator Lindsey Graham.
12:01Hey, Queens,
12:02call me Lady G,
12:03or La Lindsey.
12:06Now that I've gotten
12:07to read my lines,
12:09I'm completely panicking.
12:11After all these years
12:12of hiding,
12:13I'm feeling my own.
12:14I don't have
12:15a Southern accent,
12:16and I don't know
12:17who this character is.
12:19It bothered me a little bit
12:20that playing Jane was like,
12:21oh, I'm a little worried
12:23for you to do this role with me,
12:24and I'm like,
12:25why the fuck
12:26would you be worried?
12:27Because she thought
12:28she was going to eat me alive
12:29or something.
12:30She did, right?
12:31I didn't like that.
12:32Hi.
12:33Hi.
12:34How are y'all feeling?
12:35Absolutely amazing.
12:36We're ready.
12:37Amazing.
12:38I wanted to make sure
12:39you have a part
12:40where you can truly shine.
12:41Do you think that maybe
12:42playing just wanted
12:43to have a clearer road
12:44to, like, excel?
12:45Yeah, I think she wanted
12:46a clearer road to excel.
12:47Fuck my drag, I guess.
12:49That's what I'm saying, bitch,
12:50you better eat her up.
12:51My biggest worry
12:52is being overshadowed
12:53by playing,
12:54because I already know
12:55she can do this,
12:56so I kind of have to
12:57bring my game up
12:58to her level,
12:59or else I'll look like crap.
13:00Good luck, bitches.
13:01Good luck.
13:02On to the next corner.
13:03We're like RuPaul.
13:04We're doing our own
13:05little walkthrough.
13:06What a fake fucking cunt bitch.
13:08Yeah, horrible.
13:10I love being a part
13:11of this girl.
13:12We're disgusting and shady.
13:14Now back to RDR Live.
13:17Live from Tuckahoe,
13:19it's RDR Live.
13:22This week's maxi-challenge
13:23is RDR Live Sketch Comedy.
13:26This is a one-take,
13:27no mistakes,
13:28so, um, no pressure.
13:32Hey, lady crints!
13:34Now, we've got company.
13:37Hello!
13:39Say hello to Ross Matthews.
13:42Hi, Ross.
13:43All right, come on down.
13:44Hello, lady.
13:45No, thank you.
13:46Okay, Marfine,
13:47Zunami,
13:48Maya, and Geneva.
13:49Hi!
13:50Raise your hand
13:51if you've done
13:52sketch comedy before.
13:54Oh.
13:55Oh, okay.
13:56This'll be fun.
13:57This ought to be really fun.
13:58Any OnlyFans or anything?
14:00Now, you're a little shy,
14:01I think.
14:02Is this a big challenge for you?
14:03No.
14:04No.
14:05One word answer.
14:06Yeah.
14:07Getting in front of you two
14:08is definitely intimidating.
14:09Yeah.
14:10I kind of like,
14:11I'm like this
14:12when I'm in front of you two.
14:13You perform in the clubs, right?
14:14Yes.
14:15Okay, so when you're in the clubs,
14:16you can't be timid, right?
14:17It's when you are able
14:18to express yourself openly
14:19is when the audience
14:20can fall in love with you.
14:21Right.
14:22They will root for you
14:23because they feel a kinship.
14:24But if you have a wall up,
14:25they can't get in.
14:26So you want to let them in.
14:28Rules just said
14:29that I'm reserved, again.
14:30But back home,
14:31I'm the life of the party,
14:32so I have to show the judges
14:34that I'm having fun
14:35and show them
14:36that I can be very stupid, too.
14:37Geneva, last week,
14:39you were in the bottom two.
14:41There will be a teleprompter,
14:42you know, to read the stuff.
14:43Are you nervous about that?
14:44I used to be a cashier,
14:45so I know a lot of the,
14:46like, memorizing things
14:47is something I used to do,
14:48like, with the fruits
14:49and vegetables and stuff.
14:50Oh.
14:51It'll be interesting
14:52to speak to you
14:53after you do this.
14:54Yeah.
14:55They're not buying it.
14:56I'm not.
14:57No, I have.
14:58We've sat on this end of the table
14:59and heard this exact same spiel.
15:00Oh, no, we're going to be fine.
15:01She's crazy.
15:02We're going to be cute.
15:03Oh, girl, you know.
15:04I used to work
15:05with fruit and vegetables.
15:06That's why.
15:07All right.
15:08Well, go back,
15:09rehearse your lines,
15:10and make us laugh.
15:12All right.
15:13Nymphia, Mirage,
15:14Sephira, and Plasma.
15:15Hi, hi, hi.
15:16You are the
15:17Barbara Shaw Quartet.
15:18Oh, yeah.
15:19Which means that Mirage
15:20is the host.
15:21Yes.
15:22Yes.
15:23Okay.
15:24Are you Barbara fans?
15:25Yeah.
15:26Yeah.
15:27You are.
15:28I am a huge Barbara fan.
15:29Don't Rain On My Parade
15:30was, like, my first, like,
15:31singing in the shower song.
15:32And did you all
15:33choose these roles?
15:34Yeah.
15:35What's this about?
15:36I was really,
15:37really hoping
15:38for a role
15:39in a different skit
15:40being one of the news people.
15:41The mid-century safety zone
15:42that I have
15:43is not something
15:44I'd like to be doing
15:45the whole time I'm here.
15:46Don't overthink it.
15:47Like, if you do
15:48a great Barbara
15:49and it's a chance
15:50to do Barbara,
15:51do Barbara.
15:52I can't help
15:53but wonder
15:54if Dawn feels like
15:55she has royally
15:56screwed herself
15:57by giving me something
15:58I am perfect for.
16:00And Mirage,
16:01you're the host.
16:02Now, how'd you get that role?
16:03Did you have to fight for it?
16:04Um, it wasn't really
16:05a fight, necessarily,
16:06but, um...
16:08So what happened was...
16:09What happened?
16:10Give me the tea.
16:11I wanted to be the host.
16:12Oh.
16:13And I thought to myself,
16:14no, I want to be in a group.
16:15I want to work with somebody.
16:16Uh-huh.
16:17And so I decided,
16:18I'm gonna be
16:19Loewenstein,
16:20and you're gonna host.
16:21Huh.
16:22Okay, all right.
16:23Safira saying
16:24that she gave me this role
16:25is putting in Ru's head
16:27that it's not something
16:28that I felt confident about
16:29and that I picked
16:30and that I stand by.
16:31I sense some hocus pocus here.
16:33Right?
16:34Yes.
16:35I certainly do.
16:36Is there any truth to that?
16:37No, no.
16:38I just know that...
16:39Oh, girl, come on.
16:40Really?
16:41No, I, you know,
16:42if she wants to do it,
16:43she can do it.
16:44I realize that being the host,
16:45I could shine a lot
16:46or it could be a disaster.
16:48I don't think it'll ever
16:49be a disaster
16:50when I'm involved.
16:51However,
16:52I want to see what magic
16:53can be made
16:54with another person.
16:55Okay, all right.
16:56Mirage,
16:57have any second thoughts?
16:58That's not my problem.
16:59All right, thank you, ladies.
17:02Thank you so much.
17:04Ladies, listen up.
17:05Listen up, queens.
17:06Now, we can't wait
17:07to watch RDR live tomorrow.
17:08And on the runway,
17:10category is
17:12Knight of a Thousand Chairs.
17:14Yay!
17:15Yay!
17:16Absolutely.
17:17So snap out of it.
17:19And don't fuck it up, man.
17:21Yay!
17:22Yay!
17:26Hello, gorgeous.
17:27Hello, gorgeous.
17:28Yellow gorgeous.
17:29It's another elimination day,
17:31another bitch gotta go home,
17:33but it's not gonna be me.
17:34It's a new day in the woods.
17:37I'm ready for my Oscar moment.
17:39I am starting to feel
17:41the brick-ness flowing through me.
17:43I'm thinking like a brick.
17:45I'm painting like a brick.
17:47Or you could say I was, like,
17:48painting like Amanda.
17:50It's essentially the same thing.
17:52How are you feeling
17:54about your little hosting gig tonight?
17:56I'm excited.
17:57Yeah?
17:58Do you host a lot back home?
17:59Yeah.
18:00Bar gigs and that kind of thing,
18:01just like a little show,
18:02quick little intro, outro.
18:03What have you hosted
18:04outside of bar stuff?
18:05We had our very first
18:06Indigenous Pride in Vegas.
18:07Oh!
18:08You're Indigenous?
18:09Yeah.
18:10Oh, cool!
18:11I'm Mexican-American and Apache,
18:13and hosting Indigenous Pride
18:14in Las Vegas was a big deal for me
18:16because drag is something
18:17that's very, very important to me,
18:19and so is where I come from.
18:20That's the first time
18:21I've ever mixed drag
18:22and my culture.
18:23Yeah.
18:24Those worlds have never
18:25even connected in my brain.
18:26It was special for me
18:27to bring these two pieces
18:28of myself together
18:29in a way that was celebrated
18:31and respected,
18:32and it means a lot.
18:36Geneva, when did you
18:37come here to America?
18:38So my parents brought me over
18:40to the United States
18:42when I was around
18:437 years old.
18:44Oh!
18:45So that's when they decided
18:46to come over here
18:47to give myself
18:48and my brother that was
18:49just born at the time
18:50better opportunities
18:51and better life
18:52and, you know,
18:53the American dream.
18:54But, you know,
18:55I got legal status to begin.
18:56Are you a dreamer?
18:57Uh-huh.
18:58Me too!
18:59Really?
19:00Yes!
19:01Oh, my God!
19:02Yeah, I really didn't know
19:03what I was going to do
19:04because we literally
19:05would not be able to be here
19:06if it wasn't because of that.
19:07Exactly.
19:08Yeah, honestly.
19:09So thank you, Obama!
19:10laughter
19:11DACA stands for
19:12Deferred Action
19:13for Childhood Arrivals,
19:14and it is a law
19:15that came into effect
19:16to grant kids
19:17with no papers
19:18a work permit
19:19and, you know,
19:20a social security number
19:21so that they can be
19:22another member
19:23of this society.
19:24DACA is why
19:25I'm able to, like,
19:26legally work
19:27and also be on Drag Race.
19:29We're not citizens, you know?
19:30Yeah.
19:31We're kind of like in limbo.
19:32We're legally here
19:33because we were already here,
19:35but we don't have
19:36the full rights of a citizen.
19:39So when it comes to DACA,
19:41we're kind of always, like,
19:42not 100%, I guess, feel safe
19:44because at any time
19:45they can just be like,
19:46you know what,
19:47we're going to take this
19:48away from you,
19:49and it's very scary
19:50to think that
19:51that could be a possibility.
19:52When I got the call for this,
19:53I literally,
19:54I was, like, bawling
19:55because I was like...
19:56I was like,
19:57I'm finally, like,
19:58having a shot
19:59to, like, live my dreams,
20:00you know?
20:01Like, I don't know.
20:03Sorry.
20:04This is, like,
20:05something big for us
20:06because I believe
20:07we're the first DACA queens
20:08on the show,
20:09and, you know,
20:10like, we kind of have
20:11this moment
20:12where we kind of get
20:13a little teared up
20:14because everything
20:15we've been through
20:16and everything
20:17we have to go through.
20:18I don't know why
20:19it gets me so emotional,
20:20I guess,
20:21because we grew up
20:22not really showing
20:23that much of affection
20:24because we had to be strong,
20:25you know,
20:26living in the United States,
20:27you know, so...
20:30Do any of you guys
20:31have an OnlyFans?
20:32Well, I don't.
20:34It seems like you might.
20:36So, this is kind of random,
20:37but my day job
20:38is ghostwriting
20:39on OnlyFans.
20:41No.
20:42Yeah, girl.
20:43I work for this agency
20:44that manages
20:45OnlyFans creators,
20:46so I respond
20:47to their messages
20:48for them,
20:49as them,
20:50while they're on vacation
20:51in fucking Bora Bora.
20:52It's, like,
20:53all these, like,
20:54straight girls,
20:55and I just sit
20:56in their account.
20:57Oh, you do it for,
20:58it's not gay,
20:59you do it for,
21:00like, this girl.
21:01I get into
21:02the fantasy.
21:03She's responding
21:04to all these
21:05straight guys?
21:06Yes!
21:09A lot of these
21:10old straight men
21:11that think they're
21:12talking to a blonde,
21:1320-something
21:14with big tits,
21:15well, they're correct.
21:17All the straight people
21:18out here
21:19are shook right now.
21:20They're seeing this girl
21:21on the other side,
21:22here's Amanda,
21:23just...
21:24If only they knew
21:25what was on the other side
21:26of that messaging line.
21:31Welcome to the main stage
21:32of RuPaul's Drag Race,
21:33Michelle Visage.
21:35When was the last time

21:37your funny bone?
21:38Oh, honey,
21:39you know I had
21:40my funny bone removed
21:41in the late 80s.
21:44The hilarious
21:45Ross Matthews.

22:20Welcome to the Q&A
22:21End of the World Countdown.
22:23I'm Brandi Cohen.
22:24And I'm Brandison Cooper.
22:26And we are just
22:27one disaster away
22:28from total annihilation.
22:30I'll drink to that.
22:34Boy, have we
22:35fucked things up.
22:37I'm a little drunk.
22:38Remind me how we got here.
22:39Here are the top 10 reasons
22:41why the world
22:42is about to end.
22:43At number 10,
22:44Banning books.
22:45That one is crazy.
22:47I was reading
22:48Jackie Collins at age 11,
22:49and look at me now.
22:52At number 9,
22:53climate change.
22:54And speaking of
22:55climate change,
22:56we go now via satellite
22:57to Donna Lemon,
22:58our reporter
22:59on the ground
23:00in Death Valley.
23:02Wait, Donna,
23:03are you literally
23:04on the ground?
23:05It's literally
23:06the end of the world
23:08in Death Valley.
23:09But I am living.
23:11It's storming
23:12nonstop.
23:13Turns out,
23:14Aristotle Herb Wright
23:15really was a bad idea.
23:17Donna,
23:18are you okay?
23:23Hey baby,
23:24can I get a lift?
23:26My ride's here.
23:27Bye!
23:31Dre!
23:34She'll be fine.
23:35Everything on her floats.
23:37At numbers 5, 4, and 3,
23:39the GOP,
23:40as in
23:41Girl or Police.
23:44Wait,
23:45I'm hearing we have
23:46a GOP leader
23:47joining us live
23:48from South Carolina?
23:50Senator Lindsey Graham?
23:52Hey queens,
23:53call me Lady G.
23:56Okay Lady G,
23:57you have contributed
23:58a lot to the end
24:00of civilization.
24:01Decimating human rights,
24:03attacking women
24:04and queer people?
24:05Excuse me,
24:07can we talk
24:08about my glow up?
24:10Watch out season 17.
24:13There's not gonna be
24:14another season of anything
24:15if the world ends.
24:16Y'all can come join me
24:17in my bunker
24:18when shit gets real.
24:20It'll be like an untucked
24:21that never ends.
24:23Okay, we're done.
24:24Bye girl!
24:25Toodles!
24:26And now,
24:27here to deliver
24:28the number one reason
24:29for the end of the world,
24:31it's the Grim Reaper!
24:33And I've got
24:34one thing to say.
24:36Live from Tuckahole,
24:38it's RDR Live!
24:41It's RDR Live,
24:44with Dawn and Geneva Carr,
24:47Megami and Maya Iman,
24:50Maya Iman LePain,
24:53Morphine Loved Yon
24:54and Nipia Wynn,
24:57Blaine James,
25:00Plasma, Q,
25:02and Tsunami Muse,
25:05a mandatory meeting
25:06at Saphira Crystal,
25:08with musical guest,
25:10Ru Paul,
25:13and your host, Mirage.
25:16Oh, thank you,
25:17thank you so much.
25:18I am so thrilled
25:19to be hosting here
25:20at RDR Live!
25:25My name is Mirage,
25:26and I cannot believe
25:27I am standing
25:28on this iconic stage.
25:31And I'm learning a lot
25:32about television production too.
25:33For example, jibs,
25:35these cameras that operate
25:36on a big crane,
25:38not a nickname for
25:39Saphira's tiny breastplate.
25:41A boom is a big
25:42overhead microphone,
25:44not the sound that Nipia
25:45makes when she untucks.
25:47Very confusing.
25:49And crafty is what we call
25:50the snack table.
25:52Which is funny because
25:54I thought crafty was what you
25:55called a mandatory meeting's
25:56drag aesthetic.
25:59But seriously,
26:00I am so grateful to Ru Paul
26:01for making me one of
26:02his Ru Girls.
26:04For the rest of my,
26:05oh, applause.
26:08For the rest of my life,
26:09I get to tour the world,
26:11spread love,
26:12and get into Twitter feuds
26:13with soccer moms
26:14telling me I'm not
26:15pussy enough.
26:17But we've got
26:18a terrific show for you.
26:19Ru Paul is our musical guest,
26:21so stick around!
26:23applause & cheers
26:28Well hello there.
26:29I'm Connie Thicke.
26:31And I'm Candy Wong.
26:33Summertime is right
26:34around the corner,
26:35and that means everyone
26:36is looking forward
26:37to one thing.
26:39Sitting on a nice,
26:40big, beautiful deck.

31:19On Broadway she did sing
31:21saying I'm the greatest star.
31:24There is just one thing,
31:26my name's Barbara,
31:27not Barbara.

33:42I am literally wearing
33:43no underwear.
33:44Maybe if my straps snap,
33:46you're going to get
33:47a really good surprise.
33:48Wow, this dress is so tight,
33:49I wonder if she could
33:50snap out of it!
33:51laughs
33:52If she does,

34:49mixed with Streetwalker,
34:51with a dash of showgirl.
34:52And the ponytail,
34:53it's giving 40 inches, I think.
34:56Forget the other two,
34:57she's just a tramp.
34:58Yes.
34:59Magami, Cher,
35:01Turn Back Time, 2009.
35:04Oh, so I'm serving
35:06my favorite Cher look,
35:08one of her iconic
35:09leather jackets
35:10with this nice
35:11see-through bodysuit.
35:12I only wish I had
35:13a giant cannon
35:14and some semen all around me.
35:16If I could turn back time,
35:17I'd just go to Michelle's doctor.
35:19laughs
35:22Plain Jane as Cher, 1974, Met Gala.

35:28It's the sheer mesh gown
35:31overlaid with crystals
35:33and stones and appliques,
35:35and it's just such a stunning
35:37Bob Mackie piece,
35:39and who else to do that piece

36:25what color the fur coat is,

36:51and, you know,
36:52I like to make a statement
36:53when I walk in the room.
36:54I am feeling
36:55very poised and elegant
36:56because I know
36:57the body is right,
36:58and I know the face is right.
37:00I'm Cher, bitch.
37:02laughs
37:03I wonder if she's wearing
37:04a Z-bra.
37:05laughs
37:06Plasma, Met Gala, 1985.
37:09She is doing more
37:10than her fair Cher.
37:11laughs
37:12I am giving you
37:13Dark Lady Alaganza.
37:15It's a Bob Mackie dress,
37:16but it's not over the top.
37:18It's just pure glamour.
37:20I just feel like
37:21a glass of champagne
37:22came to life.
37:23It's not easy being a diva.
37:25Tell me about it.
37:26laughs

37:48I can see her nefertiti.
37:50laughs
37:52Saphira as Cher
37:53in Vegas Residency, 2017.
37:57Wow.
37:58Mm-hmm.
37:59That's a Vegas buffet.
38:00laughs
38:01Cher is the queen of excess,
38:02and I'm the drag queen of excess,
38:04so this is
38:05a match made in heaven.
38:06I'm wearing this blue
38:07shoulder piece that has
38:08a hundred pheasant feathers.
38:10It is gorgeous.
38:11This is a woman's world,
38:12and I am a woman.
38:14Do you know what color this is?
38:15What color?
38:16Elijah blue.
38:17Yeah!
38:18laughs
38:19Welcome, queens.
38:21I've made some decisions.
38:24But first,
38:25I need to ask,
38:26Saphira,
38:27do you wish to use
38:29your immunity potion this week?
38:31I think I'm gonna say no.
38:36Very well.
38:38Plain Jane,
38:39do you wish to use
38:41your immunity potion?
38:43Not this week, Ru.
38:45Very well.
38:46Queens,
38:47when I call your name,
38:48please step forward.
38:50Tsunami Moose,
38:51Morphine,
38:53Mogami,
38:55Amanda,
38:56Dawn,
38:58Nymphia,
38:59Saphira.
39:02Ladies, you are all safe.
39:06We leave the stage.
39:08Ladies,
39:09you represent the tops
39:10and the bottoms of the week.
39:12Now it's time
39:13for the judges' critiques.
39:15Up first, Maya.
39:16I was a little bit
39:17worried about you.
39:19When I saw you swing
39:20for the fences,
39:21I was so thrilled.
39:22I just wanted to let loose
39:23and show you guys
39:24that I can let loose
39:25and have fun.
39:26You were committed,
39:27and to me,
39:28that's the most important part,
39:29especially on any kind
39:30of sketch comedy show,
39:31because things go wrong.
39:32My real issue
39:33had to do with
39:34how I felt about
39:35the judges' critiques.
39:37My issue had to do
39:38with just levels.
39:40I wanted more nuance.
39:41I wanted more of a story arc.
39:43Your Cher look
39:44is not really the look
39:45that you were
39:46trying to achieve.
39:48Cher, no matter what,
39:49even when she does
39:50her natural hair,
39:51she will make sure
39:52it is drag hair,
39:53and this,
39:54it needs to be drag.
39:55Can you do
39:56a Cher impersonation?
39:57Let me see it.
39:58I'm great.
39:59laughs
40:01Cher meets Kermit.
40:03laughs
40:04Do it again,
40:05do it again,
40:06do it this time,
40:07but lick your hair back.
40:08I'm great.
40:10laughs
40:15Oh my God,
40:16that meme will live forever.
40:17It's going to haunt you
40:18for the rest of your life.
40:19laughs
40:21Amazing.
40:22Up next,
40:23Geneva Carr.
40:24So my question is,
40:26do you know
40:27who Lindsey Graham is?
40:28No.
40:29Okay, that was obvious,
40:30and that was part
40:31of the problem.
40:32Excuse me.
40:33There was
40:34a missed opportunity,
40:35because if you had
40:36really hit the nail
40:37on the head,
40:38it would have been great.
40:39I love the outfit.
40:41I said it's like Cher
40:42meets Britney Spears, right?
40:43It has a little
40:44like circus.
40:45But you know,
40:46I would just be careful
40:47with proportions,
40:48because you have
40:49a long torso,
40:50and you don't want
40:51to really cut in half.
40:52Up next, Mirage.
40:53You were the host.
40:54There were moments
40:55when I saw
40:56that you were
40:57comfortable with it,
40:58and there were
40:59just a couple times
41:00when the joke
41:01got away from you.
41:02You were telegraphing
41:03that the joke was coming,
41:04and the idea is
41:05to let it come out
41:06naturally,
41:07so that we don't know,
41:08oh, here's where
41:09the joke is.
41:10Now, Sarah,
41:11you've hosted SNL
41:12how many times?
41:13I've hosted three solo,
41:14and I've guest starred
41:15a few times.
41:16Not enough to get
41:17the five-time jacket, though.
41:18This look is really fun.
41:20You look beautiful in it.
41:21I love this look.
41:22I don't love
41:23the hair with it,
41:24because the hair
41:25says 60 Cher,
41:26and the dress
41:27is late 70s.
41:28It's interesting
41:29to see you young kids
41:30sort of, you know,
41:31mix things up a little bit.
41:32I'm like, wait, no.
41:34Up next,
41:35Not So Plain Jane.
41:36You were so funny
41:37in the challenge.
41:38I'm Candy Long.
41:39From the first line
41:40you uttered,
41:41the way you said it,
41:42I knew who you were.
41:44You didn't overplay it.
41:45You underplayed it,
41:46which is really
41:47the key to comedy,
41:48because that makes it funnier.
41:50This outfit is
41:51bat Cher crazy beautiful.
41:53You delivered
41:54one of the strongest
41:55Mackie looks
41:56I think Cher has ever worn.
41:57It's one of my favorites,
41:58and I thought tonight
41:59was a slam dunk for you.
42:01Up next,
42:02Up next,
42:03Q.
42:04In the challenge,
42:05you had to play a brick.
42:06That's hard to do.
42:07You managed to take
42:08this object
42:09and give it a personality.
42:10You know,
42:11there was one line
42:12I wrote down,
42:13it says,
42:14it doesn't matter.
42:15I wrote down the same line.
42:16Yes.
42:17I'm stealing all my lines
42:18when I'm talking about
42:19Sarah Michelle Gellar's paper.
42:20It doesn't matter.
42:21I mean, it was just,
42:22it was comedian-level funny,
42:23and you can't
42:24really teach that.
42:25And listen,
42:26this is another one
42:27of my all-time favorite Cher looks.
42:28I'm so glad you did this look.
42:29You know, this runway
42:30is as much
42:31an homage to Cher
42:32as it is to Bob Mackie,
42:34and this is one of his
42:35most beautiful outfits,
42:38and you wear it so well.
42:39Thank you so much.
42:41Up next,
42:42Plasma Rich Platelets.
42:44I loved watching you
42:46embody Babs,
42:47and I knew that you had it.
42:49Ah!
42:50I had to keep reminding myself
42:52to watch the other two
42:53because my eyes
42:54just kept going to you,
42:55and I wanted to see more.
42:57I remember yesterday
42:58in the workroom,
42:59you said this was a part
43:00that you didn't really
43:01want to take
43:02because you were worried
43:03about being
43:04sort of typecast.
43:05Mm-hmm.
43:06I cannot imagine
43:07your sketch without you
43:08because you doing Barba
43:09in that scene
43:10was just perfection.
43:11And I love that
43:12you chose this dress.
43:13What's your favorite part
43:14of this outfit?
43:15Immediately,
43:16I liked the idea
43:17of a sinister side of Cher.
43:18Ah.
43:19Part of Cher's brand
43:20is morbid and dark and morose.
43:23In fact,
43:24that's why rebel kids
43:25loved her in the first place.
43:26Thank you so much.
43:28Thank you, queens.
43:29I think we've heard enough.
43:30While you relax
43:31in the untucked lounge,
43:32the judges and I
43:33will deliberate.
43:35All right.
43:36Just between us,
43:37girlfriends,
43:38what do you think?
43:39Let's start with Maya.
43:40In the acting challenge,
43:41she at least swung
43:42for the fences.
43:43I am living!
43:45She just swung
43:46a little hard.
43:47It was one note,
43:48at this level,
43:49nonstop.
43:50In the runway,
43:51it fell a little flat,
43:52and for me,
43:53the biggest issue
43:54is confidence.
43:55I think to be a great queen,
43:56you have to fake it
43:57till you make it.
43:58You know,
43:59who should win?
44:00Who?
44:01Her impression.
44:02That's the best thing
44:03I've seen all week.
44:04That's the best thing!
44:07Geneva Carr.
44:09It could have been
44:10the funniest thing
44:11if she could have nailed
44:12a Lindsey Graham impersonation
44:13in drag.
44:14As an actor,
44:15you have to be able
44:16to ask questions,
44:17and if you get the role
44:18and you don't know
44:19who Lindsey Graham is,
44:20just ask somebody.
44:21I do do
44:22a Lindsey Graham impression.
44:23Oh, can I hear it?
44:24Yeah.
44:25I'm Lindsey Graham!
44:26Now,
44:27the Cher look
44:28was beautiful.
44:29But like Cher,
44:30if she had cut
44:31just on the inside
44:32of the outfit
44:33a little bit too,
44:34it would have been
44:35more flattering.
44:36Like Cher does,
44:37it's more like
44:38it comes up high
44:39and then cuts in.
44:40Yes, yes.
44:41All right,
44:42let's talk about Mirage.
44:43In terms of the challenge,
44:44I think she sped through it.
44:45She moved a little too much.
44:46I think you need to
44:47sort of claim the stage.
44:48I know none of y'all
44:49agree with me,
44:50but I like that 60s hair
44:51even though that's
44:52a late 70s look.
44:53But because we've watched
44:54Cher's life in every phase,
44:55to mix and match like that,
44:56it's so distracting to me.
44:58Plain Jane.
44:59Just in three weeks,
45:00she has shown us
45:01that she can perform
45:02at a really high level.
45:03Her Cher is stunning.
45:05Would you change a thing?
45:06Anyone?
45:07No.
45:08Nope, we're good.
45:09What about her in the challenge?
45:10Would you change a thing?
45:11No.
45:12Nope.
45:13That's an actor's job, right?
45:14It's to take someone's words
45:15and make them your own.
45:16And she did it so effortlessly.
45:17It was as if you would think
45:18she wrote that script.
45:19All right, Q.
45:20This is another one
45:21that hasn't faltered
45:22from the beginning.
45:23She took that scene
45:24from The Other Queen.
45:25Yeah.
45:26The news was good.
45:27It was cute.
45:28It was chugging along.
45:29And then she just came in
45:30and I was like,
45:31who, what?
45:32I just need to focus
45:33on the brick.
45:34And then tonight
45:35on the runway,
45:36oh, brava.
45:37The way the strengths
45:38widened out in like
45:39what we would call
45:40our problem section ladies
45:41and then thinned out
45:42on the bottom,
45:43it was just every aspect
45:44of it was real perfection.
45:45Plasma.
45:46Listen, you could tell
45:47without even knowing her
45:48if you just turned the TV on
45:49and saw her,
45:50you knew right away
45:51she was a Barbara fan.
45:52You have to be able
45:53to embody Barbara
45:54and be very smart
45:55with her choice
45:56because it is more
45:57of the darker share.
45:58I also love
45:59how homosexual she is.
46:00In that,
46:01not only the big Nelly queen,
46:02that,
46:03but also the references.
46:04You know,
46:05she's done the gay homework.
46:06I mean, I'm so jealous
46:07she got to be
46:08two of the greatest queens
46:09of all time tonight.
46:10Oh my God, in one day.
46:11In one day.
46:12August the gay miracle.
46:13It was incredible.
46:14I mean, these queens,
46:15I'm so jealous.
46:16I'm a mere prince.
46:17I'm a mere prince.
46:18Waiting my whole life
46:19to use that line somewhere.
46:20All right.
46:21Silence.
46:22I've made my decision.
46:23Bring back my girls.
46:24Welcome back, queens.
46:25I've made some decisions.
46:26Plasma,
46:27you are one funny girl.
46:28Ow.
46:29Congratulations.
46:30You are the winner
46:31of this week's challenge.
46:32Oh my God.
46:33You've won a cash prize
46:34of $5,000.
46:35It means so much
46:36and it all aligns.
46:37It's so good.
46:38It's so good.
46:39It's so good.
46:40It's so good.
46:41It's so good.
46:42It's so good.
46:43It's so good.
46:44It's so good.
46:45It's so good.
46:46It's so good.
46:47It's so good.
46:48It's so good.
46:49It's so good.
46:50It's so good.
46:51It all aligns
46:52in such a cool,
46:53perfect way.
46:54It's just like
46:55the coolest
46:56motherfucking feeling
46:57in the entire world.
46:58Plain Jane,
46:59Q,
47:00Plasma,
47:01you three
47:02may join the other girls.
47:03I can't wait
47:04to tell my mom.
47:05Maya,
47:06your share
47:07wasn't strong enough.
47:08Geneva Carr,
47:09your lady G
47:10didn't hit the spot.
47:11Miraj,
47:12your heart
47:13wasn't strong enough.
47:14Geneva Carr,
47:15your lady G
47:16didn't hit the spot.
47:19Miraj,
47:20your hostess
47:21is not the mostest.
47:28Maya,
47:30you're safe.
47:33You may join
47:34the other girls.
47:42Geneva Carr,
47:43Miraj,
47:44I'm sorry, my dears,
47:45but you are up
47:46for elimination.
47:48The first emotion
47:49is panic.
47:50I'm just trying to breathe
47:51and pull myself together
47:52and say,
47:53you can't just go home
47:54like this.
47:55Like, this can't be it.
47:56So I'm gonna spin
47:57and twirl
47:58and give it to him.
47:59Two queens
48:00stand before me.
48:02Ladies,
48:03this is your last chance
48:04to impress me
48:05and save yourself
48:07from elimination.
48:11The time has come
48:13for you to lip sync
48:15for
48:16your
48:17life.
48:22Good luck
48:23and don't
48:24fuck
48:25it
48:26up.
48:27Thank you so much.
48:30See you all back here

50:15Thank you, mommy.
50:24Mirage, my queen, we see big things for you.
50:29Now, sashay away.
50:34I'm sorry.
50:44I'm sorry.
50:49Just breathe, just breathe.
51:00Oh my God.
51:02I know it feels like the end,
51:03but it really is just the beginning.
51:06Trust me.
51:14It's so hard to see Mirage.
51:16It just feels like you really just see her dreams
51:19just being crushed in a moment.
51:27I wasn't prepared for how devastating it feels.
51:31I'm mad at myself.
51:32I'm not mad at Ru.
51:33I just feel like I didn't leave a good impression on her,
51:35and that's embarrassing.
51:36And I like really put all of my eggs in one basket.
51:40Like I didn't make anybody proud
51:41who was like supporting me.
51:44I am thankful for the relationships
51:46that I made with the girls here.
51:47I know we're gonna be cool after this,
51:49but I'm gonna miss them the most.
51:51This fucking sucks.
51:57Well, contragulations, queens.
