00:00We are back in the works, girl, and Marsha, Marsha, Marsha's going home, home, home.
00:14She should have been home a long time ago, to be honest.
00:16Instead of me being in the bottom some of those times, it definitely could have been
00:19Marsha.
00:20So, sorry, girl.
00:21I love you.
00:22You know what they say.
00:23There's no place like home.
00:24Aw, Marsha.
00:25So sweet.
00:26I'm trying to be, like, sad because she's gone, but bitch, you gotta twirl down on her.
00:31When you leap over her, bitch.
00:34I lost it.
00:35We love you, Marsha.
00:36Bye, Marsha.
00:37I hope the girls got the boss bitch memo because I'm not playing with these hoes anymore.
00:42I'm ready to promote myself and get another win.
00:45Well, I guess congratulations to Lex and Lucy, babe.
00:50Nah, I guess.
00:51That's crazy, bitch.
00:52Y'all both won.
00:53I know.
00:54I was gagged.
00:55We both have two.
00:56I have no wins in this competition.
01:01The double win should have been mine and Mistress's, point blank, period.
01:04Selena, you did, like, super, super well.
01:08So, like, are you feeling better than you were in the last couple weeks?
01:10I feel good.
01:11And, like, there's hope now, a little bit.
01:14A little bit of hope.
01:15I just need to make it to the next week.
01:16I don't feel like I need to have wins under my belt in order to win.
01:19Listen, if I'm in the top, I can talk my way into winning the crown.
01:22Listen, baby, I don't know about y'all, but I am entering my top era.
01:26I'm ready.
01:27It's hard.
01:28Oh!
01:29Woo-hoo!
01:30I am entering my angel era, my angelic era.
01:32Falling.
01:33After you're in, I'm falling.
01:35I'm gonna enter my rotted bitch era.
01:37We love to see it!
01:39Authenticity.
01:41I'm just kidding.
01:42I'm entering my winning era.
01:43Go on.
01:44All right, well, I'm in my D-Dragon era now.
01:46Yes, yes, yes.
01:47Let's do it.
01:48If you stay in an era, you ain't gotta get in an era.
01:50Can I get him in up in here?
01:53This is the closest I've gotten to being on the bottom,
01:55and it doesn't feel nice.
01:57Welcome to the club.
01:59There's definitely this feeling of don't get too comfortable.
02:03I'm sorry.
02:04Lucy looks so crazy.
02:06It's getting Joey Jay on Halloween.
02:09I'm a cool-ass bitch named Joey Jay.
02:11I'm a cool-ass bitch.
02:12I'm Joey Jay.
02:13I think that Sasha placing low this week really does show
02:16that it doesn't matter who you think is huge competition.
02:19Anyone can fall at any moment.
02:22To ensure my spot in the finale,
02:24I am just going to keep giving them the luxe fantasy.
02:28It got me here.
02:29It can get me to the end.
02:34We are at the final six,
02:36and it is so close to the finish line.
02:39I can see it, and I have horrible vision.
02:41So if I can see that we're almost at the finish line,
02:44bitch, we're there.
02:45The competition is neck and neck, bitch.
02:47So I'm letting y'all girls know right now
02:49it's the end to my congenial era.
02:51I'm entering my chaotic era.
02:54Oh, no, it wasn't chaotic before?
02:56Ah!
02:58Bitch, mistress has more eras than Cher or Madonna, girl.
03:01No, what I would like to see is her skinny era, bitch.
03:04Let's see what that is.
03:05Ha-ha-ha-ha!
03:06Ooh!
03:08Oh!
03:09She not ready to have her.
03:11Yes.
03:13America's Next Drag Superstar needs to bring home the bacon
03:17and put her best foot forward,
03:20or I'm going to have to cut you loose.
03:24Foot loose?
03:25Bacon?
03:26We're going to do let loose, but as a musical?
03:27Oh, my God.
03:29Hello, hello, hello.
03:31Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies.
03:34You know, in a world where people focus on our differences,
03:38never underestimate the power of song and dance
03:42to bring us together.
03:44So for this week's Maxi Challenge,
03:45you'll be starring in the all-dancing,
03:48all-prancing, rusical,
03:50Wig Loose.
03:51Wig Loose!
03:53Oh!
03:55Set in the 80s,
03:56Wig Loose takes place in a small town
03:59where drag has been outlawed.
04:02Imagine that.
04:05The characters include Heaven Bacon,
04:07a teenage drag queen ready to shake things up,
04:11Heaven Bacon, Heaven Bacon's wise drag mother,
04:15Preacher Deja, the narrow-minded town leader,
04:18and there's Carl.
04:20Carl.
04:21Preacher Teacher's obedient husband.
04:24Now, I'll let you decide who plays which part.
04:26And to help you put the wig in Wig Loose,
04:29we are providing big 80s hair by Wigs and Grace.
04:33Ooh!
04:34Racers, start your indents,
04:36and may the best drag queen win.
04:39Musical ladies!
04:40It's time for us to pick our roles.
04:42I smell a gate coming on.
04:44Oh, not a gate.
04:45Everyone here except for me has musical theater experience,
04:48so I'm at a little bit of a disadvantage,
04:50but baby, I'm about to flip it and show you how it's done.
04:53I live.
04:55This is fierce.
04:56I'm listening, and the first character is Preacher Teacher.
04:59Bitch, I am feeling her.
05:00The villain, the bitch of the scene,
05:02I'm going to be Preacher Teacher.
05:04Wait, Heaven Bacon's eating.
05:07I really connect with the character of Heaven Bacon.
05:10He is the lead in the show.
05:12I want this role to show the judges
05:14that I can be really serious and that I am a star.
05:18Very cute.
05:19What do you all feel?
05:20I want to be Preacher Teacher.
05:21I think I would kill that role, and that sets up everyone else.
05:24What are you feeling, Anitra?
05:25Mama Bacon or Preacher.
05:27He would be sickening as Mama,
05:28because I'm going to be Preacher.
05:30I think doing Mama is actually going to work out better for me
05:34just because I feel like it resonates with me.
05:36It resonates with my heart.
05:37Is it cool that I take Carl?
05:38Yeah.
05:39Hot.
05:40Carl is a nerdy, very submissive husband of the villain.
05:44It's really funny to have me, like, turn into an old man.
05:48The two roles that I would want to do are Heaven and Christian.
05:52Cool.
05:53Okay.
05:54So either or.
05:55I would also, I'm also very interested in Heaven.
05:58Christian's voice seems like your personality, you know,
06:02so I understand why you resonate with Christian.
06:05I also resonate with Heaven.
06:07I see myself as Heaven.
06:08The character of Heaven is someone who I think I can put a lot of myself into.
06:12So I'll take Christian so you guys can fight it out.
06:15Is that cool? Is that cool with you?
06:16Sure.
06:17Okay, so who's going to be Heaven?
06:19I'm going to be Heaven.
06:20I would really like to be Heaven.
06:22My energy is very much like this character of Heaven.
06:26I don't really see that.
06:28I don't see it for you.
06:30I want Heaven.
06:31No, I want Heaven.
06:32Welcome to Heavengate.
06:34If we were reading the descriptions of characters about the names,
06:37a young queer kid from the big city, at least that's Lux.
06:40And if I was reading the open-minded jock who thinks drag is cool,
06:44I would think Lucie.
06:45I just feel like I have the energy of Heaven.
06:48Heaven is very, like, bright-eyed, super positive, super, like, go-getter.
06:54My eyes lock with Lux, and I'm like, there goes Lucie Lyons.
06:58Girl, just say you wanted the major role because you want to be in the top.
07:01Keeping it 100, it's the lead. You want to do the lead.
07:04I want to do the character that I think I would do the best at.
07:07I'm not even cutting up. I just feel like you're not being real, Lucie.
07:09You think I'm not being real right now?
07:11This is the most real that I can be.
07:13Just be honest. You want Heaven because it's the lead role.
07:15It would be a lie to say that you wouldn't fit the description of tough.
07:18Oh, my God.
07:20This role of Heaven Bacon is perfect for me,
07:23and I think that Mistress and Lux don't want me to have it just because I want it.
07:28So what's going to be the resolution for all this?
07:30Everyone's saying they would turn out any role.
07:32They'll turn out any fucking role.
07:33Someone be Heaven, someone be tough.
07:34Fine, I'll be tough.
07:35Yay, awesome.
07:36Jesus Christ.
07:37You saying that I'm putting on a facade is telling me that I am a liar
07:40and that I am not a genuine person.
07:42I have not done anything to let anyone here know that I am not being genuine with you.
07:47There has been a lot of emotion shown from Lucie today.
07:50Oh, like, whatever.
07:52I wanted to do Heaven because I wanted to do Heaven, but I will let you have Heaven.
07:56I personally don't need to be the lead because I know I can shine in anything.
08:00I would do Christian. You can do tough if that's okay.
08:03That would be a cute duo.
08:04Perfect.
08:05The fun thing is you all get to play friends no matter what you are.
08:09These other girls are underestimating me.
08:12Because I fought so much for this role, I have no other option but to kill it.
08:18It's the M.O.O.T. S.E.L.G.
08:20For the Maxi Challenge this week, we are going to be the stars of the Rusical Wigloo.
08:25This ball is busted.
08:27The only thing.
08:28Officially.
08:29Bitch, don't step over my line.
08:32Hey, Hoofers.
08:34Hi.
08:35How's it hanging?
08:36Low.
08:39All right, Sasha.
08:40Hey.
08:41Come on, hoop earrings.
08:42This Rusical is near and dear to your heart because it's about dancing.
08:47It hits home because I definitely can understand a closed mindset.
08:51And how that can be put on young kids.
08:53Especially in churches where they were saying my sin was worse than other people's sins.
08:57Because my mom actually told me when I told her I wanted to be a girl and I wanted to transition.
09:02She was just crying because she was like, I just know you're not going to be in Heaven with us.
09:05And was so resolute to let her kid go.
09:08Is your mother still with us?
09:09She is.
09:10We don't talk.
09:11You know, we talk a lot around here about what we're talking about.
09:14This Rusical actually deals with some of these things.
09:17What role did you get?
09:18I picked Carl.
09:23Why did you choose Carl?
09:25You know, I'm actually really excited to play something goofy and unexpected.
09:30And I get to be married to Mistress.
09:35Imagine those sheets.
09:38Imagine those sheets.
09:40There's mud on your bed.
09:43I'm sorry if I was a lie over there.
09:45Oh, don't apologize.
09:47I was just bothered by Mistress and Lux.
09:49Like, I don't know.
09:51Acting like I'm not a genuine person.
09:53Coming out of this argument with Mistress and Lux, Lucy's ready to crack.
09:56So I'm like, alright Lucy, let's get into this.
09:59I don't think I've done anything to show anybody that I'm a liar.
10:03Or that I fake.
10:04I think what they're, like, because they wouldn't be saying something like that unless they saw something, right?
10:09I feel like I've been really genuine.
10:11I think, like, you let them get to you easily.
10:15Yeah.
10:16And I think that's what they sense and that's what they feed off of.
10:19I've been saying, like, Lucy's ready to crack is how I feel.
10:22Because it's like, why is she so defensive when they, like, approach you?
10:25Now that I'm thinking about it, it's like, when they laugh at me when I open my mouth to talk, like, I can deal with that.
10:32I dealt with that in high school so much.
10:35Because every time I opened my mouth to talk, people would make fun of me.
10:39You know, people would make fun of the way that I sound and the way that I talk.
10:43And so, I didn't allow myself to be my genuine self.
10:47Sorry.
10:48No.
10:49But you just have to, like, be okay with yourself.
10:52And I am. I do let it get to me.
10:54But at least right now, I love that we talk about this because, like, you're figuring out why, right?
11:00I just need to think more about myself in this.
11:03You know?
11:04Because I did a fucking great job last week.
11:08And, to be blunt, I led Lux and I to a win.
11:14If they think that trying to get under my skin is going to get rid of me, then they have another thing coming.
11:18Because I know that I'm going to kill it in this challenge.
11:21And I'm going to kill it in every challenge going forward.
11:24All the way to the finale.
11:26You know?
11:27Sorry.
11:29I get it.
11:30Selena, stop making people cry.
11:34Well, this sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.
11:37Thank you so much.
11:38Thank you, Sasha.
11:39All right, Anitra, come on over.
11:41Tell me, what role do you have in the Rusical?
11:43So, I have Mama Bacon.
11:45She gives me, like, big Dominique Jackson energy.
11:47Ooh, I love her.
11:48Like, very grand.
11:49But I think what attracted to me, like, the most was, like, the tenderness of her.
11:52Yeah.
11:53It says that, you know, drag saved my life.
11:55I kind of relate to that.
11:56Did drag save your life?
11:57Absolutely.
11:58How?
11:59I was training full-time as an athlete doing Thai Taekwondo.
12:02Mm-hmm.
12:03And I thought that I was going to be an Olympian.
12:04And, like, some things happened, and I had to retire.
12:07And I was still living as, like, a posited everything.
12:10I lost my whole family.
12:14I had no job.
12:15I had nowhere to live.
12:16And I went to DragCon, and I remember walking in,
12:19and I remember feeling so normal.
12:22And feeling so in place.
12:24Yeah.
12:25Yeah.
12:26I was in baby drag and just feeling so accepted.
12:30And just seeing how expressive and just true everybody was.
12:34And you could literally feel the love there.
12:36After a weekend of all of that love and excitement,
12:39I didn't feel like going back to a closeted and confined space.
12:43So, for me, drag did save my life.
12:46Drag was everything that I had when I had nothing.
12:49It's funny how everything connects.
12:51Because you were born to do drag.
12:56Understand what Mama Bacon is saying.
12:58And relate it to what you just told me about yourself.
13:02And it will resonate.
13:04I can't wait to see you in the Rusical.
13:06Okay. Thank you.
13:08All right.
13:09The person that created RuPaul's Drag Race and DragCon
13:12is standing right in front of me.
13:13And it's just really, really, really nice and surreal
13:16to, like, have this conversation with her.
13:18And it's something I'll never forget for my entire life.
13:21Bring your Kleenex, girl.
13:23I'm out of my emotional era.
13:25Hi, Sleekness Cities.
13:26So, what role did you get?
13:28I have Tuck.
13:29Tuck is kind of the dumb jock.
13:30What does Tuck want?
13:31Tuck wants to be a queen.
13:33But he's this jock.
13:34And I struggle with that.
13:35Wait, you struggle with what?
13:36Like, I'm this and I'm this.
13:39But I'm never here.
13:40Or I'm, like, a big girl, but I'm not that big.
13:42And I'm not thin, but I'm not that thin.
13:44So, I'm always, like, in the middle.
13:46And I never, like, really know where my peg fits.
13:48Just, first of all, let's just breathe, please.
13:52Can you please exhale and breathe?
13:54Because you've whipped up this thing that is not really real.
13:58You've made it to the top six for being you.
14:01Shine.
14:02All right.
14:03Weren't you born to shine?
14:04I think so.
14:05No, no, no.
14:06I am born to shine.
14:07Yes.
14:08It feels good, but it's...
14:10It feels good, but...
14:11It feels good.
14:12That's all.
14:13End of story.
14:14Period.
14:15All right.
14:16Well, go work on Tuck and shine, shine, shine.
14:18I'm going to shine with my Tuck.
14:22After talking with Rue, bitch, I'm ready to go.
14:24Let's go.
14:25She's ready.
14:30Baby, it's time to rehearse the musical with Miguel Zarate, honey.
14:34Yes.
14:35Professional choreographer to the stars, darling.
14:37Welcome, ladies.
14:38This musical is inspired by 80s movies.
14:41The things that I'm looking for, energy, personality.
14:44And if you're not a dancer, there's no excuse.
14:47You still have to sell it.
14:48The music is really powerful.
14:50So you truly have to live up to that.
14:52Baby, going into this, I'm just so excited.
14:54I want to see how these other bitches do with choreography,
14:56because that's really going to show where the cracks lie.
14:59Lucy, we're going to start with you.
15:01Cool.
15:02A little secret weapon of mine is that I pick up choreography very quickly.
15:05These girls have no idea that I danced for years.
15:08And I'm really excited to show them that, baby, she's got it.
15:12The choreography that you're about to learn,
15:14it's a big 80s impactful, angry type of moment.
15:17So you're going to come out.
15:19One, strong arms.
15:20Two, to reach.
15:22Three, step out again.
15:23Four, five and six, seven, eight.
15:27Five and six.
15:28Yeah, but you want to throw it like messy, messy, messy.
15:32And you want to hit a little head with it, too.
15:34Like, head.
15:35Head?
15:36Yes, yes.
15:37Five and six, seven and eight.
15:39The movement just feels a little rigid and steady.
15:42The moves is not giving 80s, it's not giving that at all.
15:46It's giving, it's white.
15:49Anitra.
15:52Word on the street is that you're a phenomenal dancer.
15:54So how about we freestyle a count of eight?
15:56Give it to me.
15:57And one, two, three, eight, five, six, seven, one more.
16:00Yes.
16:01Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
16:04Ow.
16:05Work, girl.
16:06Even though your big number is a ballad,
16:08what I'm going to teach you right now is a little snippet of the big finale number.
16:13Okay.
16:14So here we go.
16:15Right and push, left and push.
16:17Okay.
16:18So step right, go right?
16:19Step right, go right, but go from underneath.
16:21Underneath and right, underneath and left.
16:26Step or no step?
16:29Anitra looks like she's performing calculus is what it looks like to me.
16:34You're a little in your head.
16:35Trying to like, okay, next, next, next.
16:38I guess there is a difference between being like,
16:40and then being like a trained dancer.
16:44And one, two, and three, four, and five, six, seven, eight.
16:49Close?
16:50Close.
16:51The attitude is great, and you need that.
16:53I'm just going to get a little comfy.
16:55Show me.
16:56What's the next reveal?
16:57Oh, not it again.
16:59Give it to me again.
17:00Circle one, and two, three, and four, and five.
17:02Hey.
17:05What I'm seeing is a lot of personality.
17:07It oozes out of you, and this character is perfect for you.
17:10Look, I have a question.
17:11What?
17:12Why is there a security tag on your coat?
17:14I didn't steal it.
17:15I promise.
17:16It was the worker.
17:20Selena.
17:21Hi, Foxy.
17:22She's in her Fly Girl outfit.
17:24The thing about us titties is everyone sees us like, ow, girl.
17:27But I'm musically theater trained, honey.
17:29I got experience, training, skill, darling.
17:33Selena, you are playing Tuck, and you're masculinity, western-y jock.
17:39Oh, he's western?
17:41He's doing country choreography.
17:42So, I have these hats for us.
17:44There's a cowboy hat?
17:46Country.
17:47A one, a two, a one, and two, a three, a four, go five, six, seven, in, and chicken,
17:55and one, and two, and Sine, and step, and yeet.
17:59Yes.
18:00I'm tired of this country shit.
18:02Mistress.
18:04You're going to start, and you're going to come with some claws on one,
18:07and you're going to almost, because it's 80s, one, two.
18:11I'm not going to lie, I'm a little worried because, girl, I fucking hate choreography.
18:15Don't break that ankle, girl.
18:17She ain't breaking nothing in that Hillary Clinton.
18:19Just come up one, land two.
18:22Five, six.
18:24Are you going to do it?
18:25No, bitch, let me watch you some more because I'm a slow learner.
18:27Oh, wow.
18:29Mistress starts telling the choreographer how she's going to learn the choreography.
18:33I don't know how that's going to work.
18:35Okay, so do the steps with me.
18:36I'm going to go with you from the very beginning.
18:40I'm going to watch you.
18:41Oh, no, no, no.
18:43So give me, like, I'm pulling a little bit from Thriller, a little bit from, like, the Swamp Monster.
18:48Yeah?
18:49So you want to go one, two.
18:51Yeah?
18:52Now I'm just asking for a little posse.
18:54I'm a fat bitch in my kid heels.
18:55I want to make sure I don't just jump in the swamp.
18:57No, girl, girl.
18:58She does a slide split.
19:00Stop playing.
19:01Mistress is nervous just because you can hear the voices in her head,
19:05and I'm hearing them so loud when she's trying to get this choreo.
19:09Here we go.
19:10Two.
19:11Good.
19:12That was a variation.
19:14It looks like you're counting yourself out before we've even started.
19:18Mistress seems quite timid and hesitant to bring any personality to it,
19:22and her character is full of personality.
19:24What are you worried about?
19:25I just, from experience, know how I am with choreo,
19:27and for me, it's a timing thing.
19:29But I'm on it.
19:30I'm going to make sure that regardless, bitch, I'm going to be in my room.
19:32Yes, bitch.
19:33I'm going to get you right.
19:34I'm going to get you right.
19:35Don't worry.
19:36Don't worry.
19:37Shut up, bitches.
19:38I'm not a musical theater bitch, but, bitch, I'm going to turn it out,
19:40and this is going to be a happy ending.
19:42Okay.
19:47Oh.
19:48Time to go and wig loose.
19:49Today is the day we get to perform our rusical wig loose in front of the judges.
19:54It's opening night, darling.
19:56Let me get my Karl Kat on.
19:58I am so ready to unleash the beast today,
20:01and by beast, I mean my dear Karl.
20:06So, honey, how are you feeling?
20:09Wifey?
20:11Baby?
20:12I was like, girl, who the fuck are you talking to?
20:14Are you excited to play a villain, a villainess?
20:16You know, it's going to be very different for me.
20:18Right, right, right.
20:19Because I'm usually just a sweet person.
20:20Where are you going to pull from?
20:21You know, there's this girl I once competed with,
20:24and she would play like she wasn't a villain,
20:27and that made her even more of a villain.
20:28So I'm really like drawing inspiration from that.
20:30What was her name?
20:31Her name was Deucey.
20:34Deucey.
20:35Deucey DeDuca.
20:36Mistress is playing the game at this point.
20:39I know for me, I'm playing this game with my talents.
20:46Literally, Christian's story is kind of my story.
20:49I'm having a lot of fun bringing myself into it.
20:52At the core of it, it's just about loving drag
20:54and bringing drag into everybody's lives as much as we can.
20:58This musical is so important to me,
21:00especially with everything presently going on in the world.
21:03It feels like we're taking a giant step back.
21:06So, Mistress, when you're going out in the town in Texas,
21:08you're still on guard?
21:10Almost definitely.
21:11Right, because bitch, Texas don't be playing with these laws, honey.
21:15And all these protests about protesting the drag.
21:17Story time.
21:18Yeah.
21:19Because at Mary's, what, it's all ages?
21:21Kids come and everything?
21:22Yeah, at my home bar, we have kids all the time.
21:25It is family-friendly.
21:26And, of course, we have restrictions in place
21:27where they can't come to the Saturday night shows
21:29where it gets a little rowdier.
21:30I think they just have crazy thoughts of what drag is.
21:33I don't know.
21:34It's very scary at times.
21:36The state of the world that we live in, it's so wild.
21:39Now they want to outlaw the drag,
21:42and they now feel entitled to hurt you.
21:44It's such a hard place to be because you really want to be yourself
21:47and you really want to celebrate who you are.
21:49But sometimes you have to be forced to be quiet for pure safety.
21:54I've done a couple, and I will say the thing that you have to deal with
21:58is that there's always a lot of community backlash.
22:00The whole thing is we don't want our kids exposed to this
22:03because drag queens are going to be a bad influence on them.
22:06But then you have people protesting at drag queen story hours
22:10and being extremely violent,
22:12but someone dressed as a princess telling a story about a mermaid
22:16is offensive to them.
22:18People in the LGBT community are constantly being targeted with hate
22:25to divert from bigger issues.
22:27What they want everyone to focus on is,
22:30there's drag queens reading to our kids.
22:32It kind of feels like we're getting somewhere,
22:34but at the same time it's like we still shouldn't be having problems
22:37about drag queens reading a story to kids.
22:40Exocterini.
22:42I think that queer people just going out into the world
22:45and showing resilience and just saying we can't be fucked with
22:49the way that y'all think we can,
22:51it's like that's going to be the driving force for change.
22:54Not me and my politician era.
22:56The conservatives always think that we're trying to push our agenda on them
23:02when they're the ones pushing their agendas on us.
23:05Definitely.
23:06They're like, oh, you're grooming our children to be gay
23:09when that's your technique.
23:12Like, it's so, so hypocritical.
23:14How many times have you seen someone ask a toddler,
23:16like, do you have a girlfriend?
23:18Or it's like they have male kids wearing ladies' man T-shirts.
23:23I remember my mom gave me a wallet when I was 12
23:27and it had pictures of Hilary Duff in it.
23:29And she was like, isn't she so pretty?
23:31That's your girlfriend, right?
23:33And I'm like, right.
23:35Girl, no.
23:37Where's Zac Efron?
23:39Booth.
23:41People don't realize what they're doing to their own children by doing that.
23:45They're putting them in a box already.
23:47Exactly.
23:49So what's really interesting about Wig Loose is that
23:51for the first two-thirds of the show,
23:54a couple of us are in boy drag.
23:56I can't wait to see how this turns out.
23:58Here, are you guys ready to see this?
24:00Yeah.
24:02Yeehaw!
24:04Why is it giving?
24:05Is it?
24:06I look like Little Richard.
24:07Shut up!
24:09Let me see.
24:10That's Christina, bitch.
24:15Go, Carl. Go, Carl. Go, Carl.
24:18The wiggetry of it all.
24:21To the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race,
24:24Michelle Visage.
24:26Is this almost paradise?
24:28Well, if you're thinking of that strip joint
24:30off of exit 102 from the Garden State Parkway,
24:33then yes, yes it is.
24:36Let's hear it for the boy, Ross Matthews.
24:39Ross, are you ready to get footloose?
24:42Well, it's not my foot that's loose, Ru.
24:46I'm holding out for a hero.
24:49It's Orville Peck.
24:51Howdy!
24:52Well, howdy, Ru.
24:53I wish I could quit you.
24:55Oh, what's the hurry?
24:56You just got here.
24:58This week, we challenged our queens
25:00to kick up their heels in Wig Loose,
25:03the Rusical.
25:04Racers, start your engines,
25:06and may the best drag queen win.
25:10Tonight's Rusical reminds us that
25:12anything worthwhile is worth fighting for.
25:15This is the world premiere of Wig Loose.
25:19Spring 1984.
25:21My drag mom and I just moved from the big city
25:23back to her hometown, West Bumtuck, USA.
25:27It was my first day at school,
25:28but as my mom said,
25:29school is school.
25:31How different could it be?
25:34Attention, students.
25:37To serve as a reminder,
25:39and because my solo in a church musical got cut,
25:43I've got a little song for you.
25:45One, two, three, four!
25:47Beware the color red
25:49because that's the color of Satan.
25:53Don't use the color green,
25:55that's also the color of Satan.
25:59And steer clear of cerulean blue
26:02because it's gorgeous, I mean pretty, I mean new.
26:06The point is anything different is scary,
26:09so it must be wrong,
26:11it must be wrong.
26:14Love these backgrounds, keep it going.
26:16Life is black and white.
26:19There's nothing between the lines or the outside.
26:22You read the wrong or right.
26:25Whoever you are, keep that on the inside.
26:29I don't wanna see
26:31no wings, no heels, no personality.
26:35Life is black and white.
26:41You, stand for me.
26:44You can't hate yourself.
26:46How in the hell are you gonna hate somebody else?
26:50We're all born naked,
26:52and that's disgusting.
26:55So when can we change?
26:56Life is black and white.
27:03Any questions?
27:05Excuse me, preacher teacher?
27:08I'm Evan Bacon, and I have a question.
27:10When is the drag ball?
27:12You must be new to these parts.
27:15Around here, drag is a four-letter word.
27:19Christian, teach our new student
27:22how we do things around here.
27:24Yes, mother.
27:26Meet us at the abandoned barn after school.
27:33Whoa!
27:34My name's Christian, he's Tuck,
27:36and this used to be a notorious drag club,
27:38Park Shop's Hideaway.
27:40Until that one year when everyone got pink eyed.
27:43Now, we dress up in secret.
27:45If only we could just...
27:46Hang on, I feel a song coming on.
27:49Hit it!
27:54I wanna express myself
27:56I got some magic in me
27:58I wanna show
28:00Yeah!
28:01There's so much more to me
28:03Besides the frickin' thing I do with my throat
28:08I wanna express myself
28:10I got a fantasy that I wanna live
28:15Learn how to sew a dress
28:18Instead of learning how to fashion a shirt
28:20What am I gonna do with this?
28:22I could really hurt someone
28:24Our lives need a little less
28:26And a little less
28:28And a little more drag
28:31Your lives need a little less
28:34And a little more drag
28:38It's the dress, it's the wig, it's the heels walk in
28:42It's the mug, it's the mood, it's the attitude
28:46Our lives need a little less
28:48And a little less
28:50My mom taught me, you have to stand up for what you believe in.
28:56There's a council meeting tonight, and they're putting an outlaw drive in West Bonetough forever!
29:00We gotta go!
29:02Our lives need a little bit more.
29:05And a little bit more.
29:07And a little bit more.
29:15Are you sure you want to do this, dear?
29:18Think back on the days when we used to have fun doing drag.
29:21I have no idea what you're talking about.
29:24As of 8pm tonight, there will be no more drag in the township of West Bonetough!
29:30All in favor, say aye!
29:32Aye!
29:34Object!
29:37You wanna fight, but you've got me up against a wall.
29:40Here's a verse from the good book, Gover by RuPaul.
29:43Everybody's in drag, whether you like it or not.
29:47You and you!
29:49Your dedication is pointless, I'm not gonna budge.
29:53Your boots are falling on deaf ears, I don't give a f***.
29:56And tonight when I pray, it's your name I'm bringing up.
30:01Father, son, house of love.
30:05Hey!
30:07Take back your name, Lord!
30:11Kill!
30:13Give us our drag ball!
30:18My dear wife, this young man makes a very persuasive argument.
30:22What do you say?
30:24Well, Carl, my loving, soft-spoken husband, what do I say?
30:29I say, all those in favor of banning drag forever, say aye!
30:35Aye!
30:36Then drag is abolished, officially!
30:39Carl, let's go get dinner. I'm starving.
30:42What are we gonna do?
30:46Hey!
30:48Take back your name, Lord!
30:52Kill!
30:54Give us our drag ball!
30:58We deserve to be who we are.
31:01Baby, it's not your call.
31:05So kill!
31:07Kill!
31:08Give us our drag ball!
31:12Sorry, Heaven, you tried.
31:14Kids, this ain't over yet. Here, hand these out.
31:18Kill!
31:20Give us our drag ball!
31:31Welcome, bum-tuckers.
31:33Category is drag ball.
31:36Eleganza!
31:38First up, you know him as Heaven Bacon.
31:41Say hello to Cindy Whopper!
31:47You know him as Christian Preacher Teacher.
31:50Say hello to Madonna Summon!
31:57You know him as Tuck.
31:59Say hello to Ivana Dance!
32:03It's somebody who loves me.
32:11Stop right now! This ball is busted, officially!
32:15The only thing busted around here is that mug, Earline.
32:20Horcene, is that you?
32:22When we were young, drag saved my life.
32:25And it saved yours, too.
32:27Have you forgotten where we came from?
32:30Drag is a fight.
32:32Drag is a protest.
32:34Drag only reveals who you really are.
32:40If you wanna shine, I'm letting you know this.
32:45The kind of love we grow can't grow in the dark.
32:50The pride that we feel, the power we hold in our high heels.
33:00The rights that we've earned, where we began and what we've learned
33:10was built on drag.
33:15Ooh, you might know me as Carl Preacher Teacher.
33:20But back in the day, they called me Miss Ethel Sparman!
33:27The pride that we feel, the power we hold in our high heels.
33:38The rights that we've earned, where we began and what we've learned
33:47was built on drag.
33:53Was built on drag.
33:58Was built on drag.
34:05Carl, what has gotten into you?
34:09I've been sitting on a secret for way too long,
34:12and I couldn't hold it in any longer.
34:15We found the glitter under the gray.
34:19We took the hate and threw it away
34:22and found these old dirty tights.
34:24They stay out of your shoes.
34:25Bum tuck was backwards when we showed up.
34:27We knew exactly what had to be done
34:30for the drag back in the light.
34:32Yeah, we did.
34:33Leave with love.
34:34You don't give up.
34:35You beat that face.
34:37Show up anyway.
34:40And now today.
34:42Everybody's gonna wake up.
34:45Grab a wig and put it on ya.
34:48There's a dream that wants to come true.
34:51Everybody's gonna wake up.
34:53All these sisters waiting for you.
34:56There's a dream that wants to come true.
34:59Everybody's gonna wake up.
35:01What do you say, honey?
35:03I say, I say,
35:06the family that slays together,
35:08stays together.
35:14Give her a good amen.
35:16Amen.
35:19That's too high.
35:20Bring it back down a little bit.
35:22Everybody's gonna wake up.
35:24Grab a wig and put it on ya.
35:27There's a dream that wants to come true.
35:30Everybody's gonna wake up.
35:32All these sisters waiting for you.
35:35There's a dream that wants to come true.
35:38Everybody's gonna wake up.
35:47The world is your runway.
35:51Category is Everybody Say Glove.
35:56Up first, Lucy Laduca.
35:58Hey, it's the shape of Laduca.
36:01This love letter to the creature from the Black Lagoon,
36:04I designed from head to toe.
36:06I'm giving a 50s-style swimsuit
36:09made out of latex, darling.
36:11And of course, the gloves are an opera length
36:15with a huge fin down the sides,
36:17and I have webbed fingers.
36:19I mean, who else is doing that?
36:21I'm letting them know that I may be a creature,
36:24but I'm a creature of love.
36:26Yes, Ms. Swamp Thing, if you're nasty.
36:29Hang on, kelp is on the way.
36:33Anitra.
36:34We are back in limelight.
36:36She's totally gloving this love.
36:39Mama, I am giving you rave realness,
36:41and that's on fleur.
36:42Bitch, I love a rave.
36:44I will write a rave review about a rave.
36:46So I'm giving you a blue leather glove,
36:48and I have these laser lights coming right out of my hands
36:51because what is a rave without lasers?
36:53Hit me with them laser beams.
36:55I am pumping, stomping, and beaming this runway.
36:59I'm giving you hip ass.
37:01I'm giving you body.
37:02And topped it off with a signature scar on my eye
37:05in this beautiful neon green.
37:07This look is lit.
37:09Mistress Isabel Brooks.
37:12Oh, my God, so gorgeous.
37:14Oh, oh, oh, oh.
37:17Preacher Teacher wanted everything black and white,
37:19so right now I'm giving a full 180.
37:22I'm in my sunshine era.
37:24I want them to be blinded by the sunshine,
37:26the beautiful yellow on my skin.
37:28The gloves are attached to the gown.
37:30I have this really huge taffeta boa
37:32that looks like it's part of the gloves.
37:34I have these beautiful, long, dangling jewels
37:36that I'm just holding, and, oh, it's opulent, bitch.
37:39It's over.
37:40Take that, 2 Chainz.
37:42If loving you is right, I don't want to be wrong.
37:45Luxe Noir London.
37:47Break in two.
37:48Electric boogaloo.
37:50You know how Luxe got on the show?
37:52No, how?
37:53Casting call.
37:54I think that my look is a very interesting take on gloves
37:58that emo kid in high school who, like, broke their arm
38:01and, like, had everybody sign it.
38:03The arm casts are signed by my friends from home,
38:06so it's a very special piece to me.
38:08I'm just giving them the classic Luxe experience
38:10with a little edge to it.
38:12I may have two broken arms, but these legs still pop, mama.
38:16Paris is burning. Plaster of Paris.
38:18Yes, plaster of Paris.
38:20Selena's titties.
38:22If you can't glove yourself...
38:24How you gonna glove somebody else?
38:26Well, you know what they say about huge hands?
38:28Know what?
38:29A huge dick.
38:31You know I love a big masculine hand, honey.
38:33I'm giving you the biggest gloves you've ever seen.
38:36It is just out of the box, kooky, it's weird.
38:39You're like, what's happening?
38:40I look like a full-on cartoon character, bitch.
38:42Look at my hair, it's so cute, very TLC vibes.
38:44I'm feeling real cunty, I feel real hip-hop.
38:46I feel like Cardi B if Cardi B had giant hands.
38:49You know what sounds good?
38:51What?
38:52Red lobster.
38:55Sasha Colby.
38:57Ooh, she's in a league of her own.
38:59Omit crew.
39:02I'm giving you baseball girl realness.
39:05A glove outfit made of pure baseball gloves.
39:09I came up with this concept,
39:11I was just thinking of a new way to use gloves.
39:13I still want it to be chic, I still want it to be high fashion.
39:15I'm feeling kind of like Harley Quinn, like superhero.
39:18Obviously, like, super sexy.
39:20Sorry, I can't help it.
39:21Baby, I'm feeling like I'm gonna catch balls, grab balls.
39:24We ballin', baby.
39:26Ooh, I think she plays for the Houston Astros.
39:29Hey!
39:30Wings out of battle.
39:32Welcome, Ladykins.
39:35Just blanket statement, I have to say,
39:37there have been some extraordinary,
39:39epic musicals on this show tonight,
39:41but the best of the best.
39:43It was, like, Broadway level.
39:45Y'all were incredible.
39:47The work you put into this, it showed,
39:50which makes our job really, really difficult.
39:52Now, it's time for the judges' critiques.
39:56First up, Lucy LaDuca.
39:59I loved you in the musical.
40:00Right off the bat, I feel like you carried it very strongly.
40:03It was just really, really well done.
40:05It was professional.
40:06I hope you have fun, because I feel like you're a workaholic.
40:09I think tonight, you did the shape of water
40:11type of creature from the Black Lagoon.
40:13I enjoyed it. It's cute.
40:16Up next, Anitra.
40:18I like your outfit tonight.
40:19It's, like, drag-tron future.
40:21I love it.
40:22Mama Bacon's not the biggest part,
40:24but luckily, you managed to take this solo
40:27and have a real moment.
40:28It was really powerful.
40:30Like, I felt like you were there for these kids.
40:33It was so fulfilling,
40:34because you really understood what your role is,
40:38and not only did you understand it,
40:40you lived it.
40:41So it was really fabulous to watch.
40:44That lip sync is one that will stay with me
40:46for a very long time.
40:48Up next, Mistress Isabelle Brooks.
40:51Your solo was so well done.
40:53I thought you had a good time with it.
40:55You were really into it.
40:56And then you get to play this, you know, church lady,
40:59who, by the way, we are facing in real time out there.
41:02This is a real-life villain as well.
41:04Somehow, I hate her,
41:06but I was rooting for you in a weird way.
41:08And then when you turned the corner for the runway,
41:10I really gasped.
41:12Having just seen you in the Rusical,
41:14wearing something so different,
41:15and to just see this glamour,
41:17I mean, it was so cool.
41:18It's so beautiful.
41:19Honey, you did Houston proud this evening.
41:23Up next, Lux Noir, London.
41:26This is my favorite of all the concepts,
41:29for sure, on the runway.
41:30You know, it's kind of like
41:31Wonder Fleek Daria about it or something.
41:34Totally.
41:35Let's talk about you in the Rusical.
41:37A little tiny part.
41:38And you didn't miss a beat.
41:40There's a thing we go to after school.
41:41Come with me.
41:42Flag.
41:43Wink. Nudge, nudge.
41:44You know how I feel about the gayetry that surrounds you.
41:47I just connect with the fact that you live authentically,
41:50and it shows up in everything that you do.
41:52I was gay since I popped out the womb.
41:54I love it.
41:57I know that you initially wanted the Heaven Bacon role,
42:00and you got into it with Lucy.
42:02I would like to clear this up.
42:04I had the role first, and then I gave it to her.
42:08But, you know, that's in the past.
42:10But you had a great time.
42:11Thanks, Lux.
42:13Up next, Selena Estetiz.
42:16I loved seeing you in the classroom as Tuck
42:19when I thought it was Rosie O'Donnell
42:20in A League of Their Own.
42:22But I loved seeing you go wholeheartedly into that look
42:27because it's so different for Selena.
42:29Being out of Estetiz on stage was really scary for me
42:32because, like, I don't...
42:33Jason doesn't go out in the world like that.
42:36So to be on stage like that was really, like, vulnerable for me.
42:39When all of the characters, you know,
42:41finally come out in drag at the ball,
42:43it was such a big change from your character.
42:45I thought that was a really job well done.
42:47You know, I just have to face it, okay?
42:49There's so much going on on the jumpsuit
42:51that I just now realized you even had gloves on.
42:53Ha ha ha!
42:55But, you know, maybe it would have been an even more bold move
42:58to just do some black with that and really service gloves.
43:02Up next, Sasha Colby.
43:04Can I ask you why you chose this part?
43:06Sure. I felt that I really wanted to show a trans woman
43:10not afraid to go for the laugh.
43:12And also, Carl spoke to me because he reminded me of my dad.
43:15When he was alive, he had a very overbearing wife.
43:18And he still managed to find fun and really loved me in drag.
43:22I just have loved seeing you this season
43:25take these kind of risks to show us what you got.
43:27I think it was very smart to choose this character.
43:30I gotta tell you, when I saw Carl,
43:32I thought, oh, my goodness, Carl's kind of hot.
43:34Ha ha ha!
43:36And then when you transformed in the green dress,
43:38that number was so great.
43:40There was so much in that solo of yours
43:42that just lit up the stage.
43:44And your look is obviously very put together,
43:46but it's still got a lot of wit and charm to it.
43:48This is probably the closest I've ever been to a baseball game,
43:51and I'm really excited about it.
43:53It's so clever, so chic.
43:55Lovely. Glovely.
43:57Oh, my God.
43:59Queens, this week the competition is neck and neck.
44:04So I want to hear from you.
44:06Who should go home tonight and why?
44:10Lucy.
44:13To...go by track record?
44:17Um, Selena has been in the bottom a lot.
44:21Hold up.
44:23After you came to me and cried on my shoulder,
44:25now you want to say I should go home?
44:27Let's be real here.
44:29You don't like Mistress and Lux, so why didn't you say their name?
44:32Girl!
44:33Anitra.
44:35I feel bad saying statistics,
44:37but at the end of the day, that's the nitty-gritty.
44:39I think I would have to say Selena has titties.
44:41Okay.
44:43Mistress.
44:45If I had to be honest,
44:47I'm tired of being at the Sacha Kobe meet-and-greet,
44:49and that's my biggest competition.
44:51So sorry, Auntie.
44:53Lux.
44:55Honestly, analyzing the lineup that we have here tonight,
44:58I would say that Sacha Kobe does drag
45:00on a level that is clean-cut, concise.
45:03But she just puts that little extra thing on it
45:06that makes it the Sacha Kobe experience.
45:08Selena brings something so unique with her perspective.
45:12It has so much heart.
45:14Mistress, she also has a unique spin on what she does
45:17because she's not afraid to push the boundary.
45:20That is something that is very admirable.
45:22You never know what to expect from Anitra,
45:24and what's unexpected is something that I look for.
45:27Lucy does what she does exceptionally well.
45:30However, Lucy's drag, I would have to say,
45:33for lack of a better word,
45:35is a little on the more generic side.
45:37Everybody else on this lineup
45:39brings something a little different and unique,
45:41so tonight I'd have to say Lucy for those reasons.
45:47Selena.
45:49I'd first like to start out saying
45:51that the girls who said my name,
45:53each time I was in the bottom,
45:55they thought I was in the top that week.
45:57So, you know, if we're looking for America's Next Drag Superstar,
46:00that's someone who's bringing something fresh to the game.
46:03I don't see future of drag when I see Lucy.
46:06Sacha.
46:07Well, since you can't send them all home,
46:10I would send Lucy or Lux home
46:12because they both have two wins,
46:14they're tapping on my ass,
46:16and I need the competition gone.
46:19Ladies, thank you for your honesty.
46:22While you untuck in the workroom,
46:24the judges and I will deliberate.
46:28Now, just between us squirrel friends,
46:30I want to know what you think.
46:32Let's start with Lucy.
46:34Her characterization as Heaven Bacon in the boy form,
46:36I thought it was fantastic.
46:38And then when she crossed into drag,
46:40I kind of lost her, and I'm getting a feeling
46:42that she is all business and not having fun.
46:46And it's interesting that some of the queens
46:48were calling her out tonight.
46:50Lucy is really, really good.
46:52It's just our other queens having more special moments,
46:56and that's what we have to ask ourselves.
46:58Anitra.
46:59I was continuously blown away
47:01by her performance in the Rusical.
47:03It was so touching and so beautiful.
47:05Anitra made us feel something.
47:08She absolutely did.
47:09Mm-hmm.
47:10Mistress.
47:11The villain is the most fun character hands down.
47:13Michelle knows.
47:14Yes.
47:15And I really liked her approach.
47:18I enjoyed watching Mistress in this role,
47:21and I love what she said.
47:23I am going to send home my competition.
47:26That bitch right there.
47:28Let's talk about Lux.
47:29Before I discuss Lux,
47:30I'd like to address each of you individually.
47:32Oh, my God.
47:34I could have watched that for the rest of the week.
47:37That was great.
47:38I thought we did.
47:40I kind of want to add her to my legal team perhaps.
47:43Oh, my God.
47:45I mean, that is star quality stuff,
47:47and she's got it, and she'll tell you.
47:50Selena's titties.
47:52I felt like she really thrived in the Rusical.
47:55The runway is not great.
47:58This ironically looks a little secondhand,
48:00and I'm not talking about the hands.
48:03There's a lot of work to be done with the aesthetic,
48:06but she did a good job tonight, Sasha Colby.
48:09You could feel the joy she was having as Carl.
48:12You know I'm married, right?
48:13Yes.
48:14But Carl could still get it.
48:15Oh, yeah.
48:16And the way she Patti LaBelle-ed the hell out of that solo
48:19was amazing.
48:20A really, really good night for her.
48:22Tickets are just about sold out to the meet and greet,
48:24so come see me, because I'm scalping.
48:27Silence.
48:30I've made my decision.
48:32Bring back my girl.
48:34Welcome back, ladies.
48:35I've made some decisions.
48:39Mistress Isabel Brooks, you are safe.
48:45Please step to the back of the stage.
48:50Luxe Noir London, you are safe.
48:59Sasha Colby, you are safe.
49:11Petra, as Mama Bacon, you served up a heaping helping
49:16of love and emotion that we'll never forget.
49:20Congratulations.
49:21You are the winner of this week's challenge.
49:25You've won a cash prize of $5,000.
49:29So this is my second challenge win.
49:32I can't say fuck, so I'm going to say forking.
49:34I am so forking excited to win this forking challenge.
49:38One of my crimes will have to pay.
49:41Lucy LaDuca, Selena Estetiz, I'm sorry, my dears,
49:46but you are up for elimination.
49:49Two queens stand before me.
49:52Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me
49:56and save yourself from elimination.
50:01The time has come for you to lip sync
50:06for your life.
50:12Here I am once again.
50:13Do I deserve to be in the bottom?
50:15No, but I'm a fighter.
50:17I am going to serve the experience
50:20with these dumbass gloves.
50:21You ready?
50:25Fuck and don't.
50:27Fuck it up.
50:31It doesn't hurt me.
50:37Don't you want to feel hurt?
50:40Don't you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
50:45Don't you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
50:50Is there so much hate for the ones you love?
50:53Tell me we both matter, don't we?
50:58Tell me we both matter.
51:03Tell me we both matter.
51:07If only I could make a deal with God
51:11and get him to swap places.
51:14Be running up that road.
51:16Be running up that hill.
51:18Be running up that building.
51:23Come on, baby.
51:25Come on, darling.
51:27Let me steal this moment from you now.
51:31Come on, angel.
51:33Come on.
51:34Come on, darling.
51:35Come on.
51:36Let's exchange the experience.
51:40Come here.
51:41Come here.
51:43If only I could make a deal with God
51:47and get him to swap places.
51:51If only I could make a deal with God
51:56and get him to swap places.
52:00If only I could make a deal with God
52:04and get him to swap places.
52:08If only I could make a deal with God
52:13and get him to swap places.
52:19If only I could make a deal with God
52:24and get him to swap places.
52:28If only I could make a deal with God
52:34and get him to swap places.
52:39If only I could make a deal with God
52:45Selena S. Titties, thanks for the memories.
52:51Now, sashay away.
52:54Thank you guys so much.
52:56You sure?
52:59It's titties, it's titties, my titties, not your titties.
53:05Ow!
53:06All right, baby, the titties are coming!
53:08I let myself dim my light here because of bitches
53:14and don't let no bitch dim your light, hoe.

53:19so I need all the quintadas, fuck those hoes,
