11x03 - Diva Worship

[bunniefuu]

[RuPaul]
Previously, on RuPaul's Drag Race.

You'll be starring in
two breakthrough films.

Action.

[laughing]

[laughing]

"Upulence...
You, earned--"

Own. You own.

-You own it.
-[Michelle] Own.

Own.

[RuPaul] Kahanna Montrese.

I saw you trying really hard,
I don't think you got all the way there.

[RuPaul]
Mercedes Iman Diamond.

I feel amongst these girls that you
get quiet and I lose you.

[RuPaul]
Scarlet Envy and Yvie Oddly.

You are both the winners
of this week's challenge.

[applauding]

Mercedes Iman Diamond,
shantay you stay.

-Thank you.
-Kahanna Montrese, sashay away.

Oh, my God!

Get me out of...

"Thank you for making me
feel loved, XOXO." Aw, Kahanna.

[all] Aw!

Kahanna was just eliminated
and it sucks,

but this is like the f*ckin'
plains of Africa.

Eat or be eaten.

Girl, bein' on the bottom two,
is not the tee,

but, girl, I was like,
"Uh-uh I can't go home."

I give everything for this.

Mercedes wanted to stay,
we got the message!

But Mercedes needs to
turn out these challenges.

She's a little bit
introverted and her looks

are not that strong either, so,

it's, like,
where you gonna be strong at?

You strugglin' in all the categories!

You gotta pick a struggle,
you can't struggle in everything, bitch!

You'll go home!

How about two winners
for the challenge?

-Yeah!
-Yes, queen!

[cheering]

[Silky]
How are y'all gonna cut that check?

[Nina]
This should have been my challenge.

I feel like I'm fading away.

I need to, like, figure out how to be
a star in a room full of stars.

I delivered in the challenge.

And I hope I send a message to anyone
who maybe is discounting me.

You know?

I was super surprised how well
that Scarlet and Yvie did.

I was a little bit jealous
because I thought

that they were gonna b*mb.

And then they k*lled it.
I was like, "Hmm, great."

'Cause I certainly did not.

I came in here being, like,

"Oh, bitch I'm gonna k*ll
these acting challenges."

And for them to tell me like,
"Oh, girl, it wasn't there."

I'm like, "Da f*ck?"

Ariel is a social media girl,
so, I think it's a difference for her

being in a situation
where she's with "real entertainers."

She's one note,
she don't really have a personality.

She's an Instagram whore.

Nobody care!

Nobody care!

[all] Amen!

♪ Yes ♪

Hello, hello, hello!

[all] Hi!

Ladies, picture this...

The year is 1990,
and I'm working the backstage door

after a sold-out concert
by the super-hot girl group, Seduction.

Featuring Michelle Visage.

I wonder what ever happened to her?

[all laughing]

So, for today's mini challenge,
you need to do and say,

whatever it takes
to sweet talk your way in.

In the end, the two queens
with the funniest

powers of persuasion... win.

Now, you've got 15 minutes
to get your all-access VIP drags on.

Go!

-Y'all, somebody please tuck me?
-Move bitch, move!

Girl, these quick challenges
are teaching me real meaning of beauty.

[RuPaul]
All right, ladies, times up!

["Two To Make It Right"
by Seduction]

[knocking]

[RuPaul] Who is it?

Hi there, hi, hi this is Sue.
Sue, from Northern Canada, eh?

I was hoping to get in
to see Michelle Visage.

[RuPaul]
Is your name on the list?

I'm here as a part of my women's
hockey team, the Mooseknuckles.

[RuPaul]
Well, I see the moose knuckles.

I got nine and a half reasons
why Michelle Visage

wants me in this back door, baby.

[RuPaul]
Well, show me at least one of 'em.

I twerk, boo!
[vocalizing]

-[RuPaul] There's a half-reason.
-A half!

[RuPaul] Are you sure
you're in the right place?

Oh... [moans]

[RuPaul laughing]

What's your name?

-Morkedeez.
-How do you spell that?

It's M-E-R-C-K-E-S.

Is that Mercedes?

Yes.

Name three Seduction songs.

Okay, "Seduction," "Seduct,"
and "Selectivity."

[RuPaul laughing]

Girl, what two things
make a thing go right, girl!

-You are loitering.
-Loitering?

Security!

If you're such a good friend
of Michelle Visage,

what's her middle name?

You tell me her middle name
since you know so much about her!

Well, see, I'm all up in the party

-you're the one in the alley.
-No, you checkin' the door!

I... [laughs]

-Do you have a password?
-Tig ole bitties, no?

-Wrong!
-Girl, let me in!

-Let me in, it's your girl!
-[RuPaul laughing]

Lemme see the ass.

Ain't no ass there.

I have... look again!

-Is that a rabbit coat?
-Yeah, yeah, it's my good...

-my good fur.
-[laughing]

My good fur, you know.

-Access has been denied.
-What?

[British accent]
Yo, I'm feelin' it. Oh, my God,

this is just like
tea and crimpets on Sundays!

-Yes!
-All right...

Huh, yeah?

-I'm here to have her sign my baby!
-Name five Seduction songs.

There's that one about two people--

Yeah, you can't name 'em
and can't nobody else either.

[lisping]
I'm to understand a one Michelle Visage

is performing here tonight.

-Do you have credentials?
-It's a maternity test! [laughs]

-She's my mom.
-You need to move along, ma'am.

You cannot come up in here, I'm sorry.

[sobbing] Let me in, please...

I would like to see my mom.

[RuPaul laughing]

I'mma have to call
Child Protective Services on you.

-Oh, my gosh, Mommy.
-Or a dentist.

Bitch, that-e-hoo get you nowhere.

I'm gonna football tackle
this door, honey.

I'd like to see you try.

[chuckles]

-One, two, three!
-[RuPaul laughing]

Whoo!

You hear that siren?

Only thing I hear is,
"Come in, Silky."

Oh, you told me to come in!

-[RuPaul laughing]
-I'm here honey.

Ladies, you are all total stalkers!

[all laughing]

But two of you proved
you've got real schmooze control.

Nina West...

and Ra'Jah O'Hara!

[cheering]

Come on, bitch!

You've each won a $1,500
gift card from J.J. Malibu.

-Whoa!
-Thank you J.J., thank you!

Ladies, this week
we're celebrating something

that drag queens
do better than anybody!

Diva worship.

For this week's maxi challenge
you'll be starring

in two she-vangelical talk shows!

Oh! Yes!

Where you will
preach and teach the children

about the divine pop diva
of your choice.

Work!

Now each of your
live shows will feature

heavenly hostesses,
live on-air conversions,

and, of course, hymns of praise!

[Gospel music]

Now, Nina and Ra'Jah,
since you won the mini challenge,

you are each the deacon
of your congregations.

Nina, you go first.

Silky Nutmeg Ganache.

-Ra'Jah.
-Praise the Lord, Shuga!

Yes, bitch!

-Yvie Oddly.
-Like a G.

[all laughing]

-C'mon, Miss Scarlet.
-I'm just here for the communion.

-Miss Vanjie!
-Oh, Jesus!

[all laughing]

Come on, Miss Plastique.

Oh, thank you, Jesus.

Let's go with...

-Brook Lynn Hytes.
-God is good.

-Come on, Honey.
-Yes, ma'am. Praise Him!

-Ariel Versace.
-Whoo!

Now that leaves
Mercedes and A'Keria.

Good, y'all done left me standin'
in the nose bleeds with Mercedes.

All y'all gotta be blind,
crippled and crazy.

I'm not surprised
that A'Keria is still there.

I haven't noticed A'Keria yet
in this competition.

Her first look was amazing
but I really haven't seen a lot of...

oomph from her yet.
The jury is still out on A'Keria for me.

-Come on through, A'Keria.
-Call me to the pastor.

Come on!

Which means, Mercedes,
you are on Nina's team.

Welcome home!

Gentleman, start your engines!
And may the blessed woman win!

[all laughing and cheering]

The challenge this week
is to produce and star

in our very own
she-vangelical talk show!

Praise Jesus!

This is the meat of what drag race is!
The acting! The characters!

Like, the fun, ya know?

Like, where Latrice Royale
made a mark was with,

"Get those nuts away from my face!"

Right?

I couldn't tell you
what she wore on the runway.

But I can tell you
what she did in an acting challenge.

First of all, hot diva,
who do you know really well?

-[Vanjie] Britney Spears.
-Britney.

-Whitney Houston.
-Whitney.

-Britney.
-Whitney or Britney.

[Nina] Whitney or Britney?

Yeah, Whitney or Britney
is great for me.

-You're a Britney.
-[both] Britney.

Let's commit to Britney first.

There's a little bit more than
maybe to play with there.

Yeah.

Does anyone feel
particularly driven to any one thing?

-I would like to sing.
-Does anybody else sing?

'Cause I sing.

I was gonna say, it would be kinda cute
if you and I were the singers.

Really, bitch?

Last week you said,
"Silky is loud! Silky is obnoxious!"

There's a difference between
having a strong personality

and being obnoxious.

So, what's the tee, Christine?

[Ariel] I said it, who cares?

Let's just build a bridge,
get over it and move forward.

I don't hate her,
but at the same time

I can't wait 'til she
Ariel her ass out the door.

[nasally] Yeah.
[chuckles]

Okay, so we've got Brook Lynn
and I as the talk show host.

I think you'd be really great
as the person who converts.

-I could convert...
-I think that would be really cute.

So, Mercedes, you could
be a non-believer with me.

Okay.

Do you have any solid basis
for your non-believer?

'Cause I wanna make sure you,
like, you feel comfortable.

I'm thinkin'.

I think you should just
literally pretend

-you've never heard of Britney Spears.
-Yeah.

You can be, like,
"What is a Britney Spears?"

Where I come from
we do not have a Britney Spears.

-We just have spears.
-Yeah! Yes!

Do you feel comfortable with that?

Mercedes has already gotten critiques
two weeks in a row

about not giving enough personality.

And if there's anything
that TV televangelists got,

it's, like, personality.

First off, we need to pick a pop diva.
Who do you guys, like, super idolize?

I'm from the South, so, I love Dolly.

-[Ra'Jah] Okay.
-Patti LaBelle.

-Diana Ross would be good.
-Yeah.

Diana Ross is a hard one
'cause, you know,

that's Ru's favorite, like...

[all murmuring]

So, do we want that risk?

I think you gotta pick somebody
who is, like, a huge personality

-And who is... you can be meme-able.
-That's true.

-Whitney.
-[Scarlet] Whitney would be good, too.

If we picked with Whitney
it could kind of get sensitive,

only because a lot of her
moments were situations where she,

you know,
was in a bad place in her life.

-She wasn't in control.
-[A'Keria] Right!

-Mariah?
-I was thinking Mariah, too!

-Mariah would be fun.
-Mariah would be easy.

Okay, so, we're gonna go with Mariah.

We tried to settle on someone
that we all know a little bit about.

We are thinking, collectively,
we'll have enough knowledge on Mariah.

-I wanna be the non-believer.
-[Honey] Okay.

[Plastique]
I'll be the correspondent then.

I vibe with the music industry.

-Yeah, you're a singer, girl.
-Yeah.

Is anyone else a singer
up in this joint?

-I can sing.
-Yeah.

Like, that's really my gig,
I actually sing.

-Okay.
-And we can give it, like,

a good old gospel, like,
squawk, Honey.

I'm feeling like my position in
the competition is very in the middle.

I don't wanna be there.

A: I know I can hold a tune.

B: I'm a lyricist. So, this challenge
is my opportunity to really show myself.

You seem to have
the most knowledge of her, right?

-'Cause you're a super fan?
-No, ma'am.

Oh, I thought you were saying you were.

I love her,
but I'm the worst person at memory.

What is she known for?
She's known for singing.

-She's known for whistle tones.
-Straight long, middle part.

Well, that's like visual facts,
but I mean, like, actual facts.

-Right? Like...
-I mean, a middle part is a fact.

I don't know.

What else is Mariah's songs?

"Honey."

-"Emotions."
-"Emotions."

-♪ I get so emotional, baby ♪
-Yeah!

-[Honey] Emancipation of Mimi?
-That'll be the Bible.

-Her Bible is the Emancipation--
-Yeah, The Emancipation of Mimi.

I don't know...

-[Honey] It's one of her albums, girl.
-Oops.

Here's the thing,
I don't know a lot about Mariah,

and I'm kinda gagged that nobody
who's decided that we was doin' Mariah

knows anything either.

We just gotta pull together,
like, what all the facts are, right?

What everyone knows about her,
and just write them down.

Halleloo, kitty girls!

[all greeting]

Hello, Nina West Team!

[all] Hi!

-Do you have a name?
-Well, we're the IBBN.

-What does that stand for?
-It's Britney Bitch Network.

-Britney is the religion.
-Yes, she is.

So, now, Nina West, are you familiar
with the types of shows

on Christian broadcasting?

When I was younger,
Tammy Faye was always on.

I just know when I go to sleep
and I leave the TV on,

and I wake up
that stuff usually is playin'.

[all laughing]

Now, Ariel, last week
you didn't captivate the judges.

I think I was more focused on, like,
"Oh, let me look good,"

rather than creating a character.

Listen, you got here.

Now you have to find a rhythm
in this moment right here.

This bitch is shaking her head

'cause the same issue with you,
Brook Lynn, finding that right rhythm.

And look at Mercedes
is shaking her head, too.

Everybody says
the exact same thing.

"Oh, well this time... Oh, girl!
I'mma get up there!

I'm gonna be an actor...

I know exactly what
I'mma do this time, Mr. Paul."

[all laughing]

You have to find your own rhythm

because you see all these
other b*tches and they're fierce.

They think,
"Oh, my God! How am I gonna do this!"

[stammering] "This bitch...
she spangled her leotard!"

-[laughing]
-"Oh, my God!

She done brought up
all these wigs up in here.

And this hoe up in here,
she's sucking all the air out the room."

[all laughing]

And then you get like really nervous.

Center yourself,
find your rhythm and do you.

Look, I've been the number one bitch
in the game for 25 m*therf*cking years.

[all cheering]

Ain't no other bitch came for me! Why?

Because I found my own right rhythm.
Let the church say, amen!

-[all] Amen!
-That's right!

So, I wanna see a show!

Show me the holy spirit
in Britney's name!

It's Britney, bitch! Bye!

[all cheering]

Okay, that was kind of perfect.
Hello.

That should be enough inspiration
for us to f*cking nail this.

-Well, hello, Team Ra'Jah!
-[all] Hey!

Okay, I'm dying to know, which diva
you've chosen to worship?

-We chose Mariah Carey as our diva.
-Ooh! [vocalizing]

Was it a unanimous decision
to choose Mariah?

We went through a bunch of divas
and it was the one

we all collectively knew about the most.

Okay, do any of you belong to
the Mariah Carey fan club?

That's a no. 'Cause, you know,
Mariah calls her fans her...

-Anybody?
-Her butterflies?

-[RuPaul] No...
-The Carey's?

No, okay.

-They're her lambs.
-Oh, nice.

Yeah, you b*tches
ain't done no homework.

Oh, Jesus.

Yeah, if you don't know what a lamb is,

how you gonna convert
somebody into a Mariah fan?

Someone's gotta be an authority.

Is there an authority in your group
on Mariah Carey?

There go them crickets again.

What the f*ck have you
been doing all this time?

I love the divas and I know
everything about them.

That's what we're looking for.

We're looking for something
that's really gonna convert

a non-believer to Mariah-ism.

Oh, sh*t, I'm giving away
all my good lines.

We're kinda pulling all the...

We're just kinda pulling from
all of our common knowledge.

Which is very little.
It's very little, isn't it?

Bring up your Mariah-isms, okay?

So, can't wait to see it. Get to work!

-[all] Thank you!
-All right, see ya!

Girl, was that completely frightening
for any of y'all?

So, how comfortable are we
really feeling with Mariah?

Because it don't seem like
we know a lot of facts.

It's not like--

[Honey]
It's getting very confused right now.

Right.

I mean, I don't know,
I think we just stick with what we have.

Okay.

Let's stick to the game plan.

We are not the ultimate Mariah fans,
but we have a love for Mariah.

I'm feeling confident in my team.

Come on, Team Mariah!

Come on, lambs!

Hello, ladies,
or as Britney would say, "Hi, y'all!"

[all] Hi, y'all!

[Ross] Okay, so you are trying
to get everybody

to join the Church of Britney.

You must convert us
with your passion.

This is also live television.
So, there's no take two.

There's no,
oops, and then you do it again.

[all laughing]

So, let's get ready for act one.

We're about to sh**t our talk show
and I'm just a little bit worried

because we have three of the girls
who were in the bottom last week.

So, I'm just hoping they're
gonna use that to light a fire

under their ass
and really nail it out this week.

Three, two...

Action!

[upbeat music]

Oh, hello friends, and welcome to IBBN,

It's Britney Bitch Network!
[laughs]

My name is Nina West, your host today

of the Gimme More Hour of Power
prayer session.

Welcome, as we worship
our deity, the holy,

Britney G. Spears!

With me today is my co-host,
Miss Brook Lynn Hytes.

-Hey, Brook Lynn!
-I love Britney Spears.

Testify, sister!

When I was a young woman
I felt like a genie in a bottle.

-[gasping]
-And it was dirty.

-You didn't!
-But then Miss Britney Spears,

her spirit has come in me,
and it has filled me up.

Oh, that's filthy!

And she can come in you
and fill you up, too.

Hallelujah.

Why don't you tell
the good folks out there

how they can give back to somebody
who's given us so much?

Ladies and gentleman, we have set up
the Leave Britney Alone Foundation.

Your offerings today
will help supply Frappuccino's,

frothy and delicious.
Also, car seats and safety belts.

We are doing the Lord's work here,
ladies and gentlemen.

-So, y'all stay tuned!
-We'll be right back.

Cut. All right,
we're out to commercial.

Good. Let's move on to the conversion.

[Vanessa]
I feel like a proud sister.

Nina is selling the mood, baby,
and she's selling it to me!

Three, two, one... Action!

Welcome back to the Gimme More Hour
Power Prayer Circle.

Right now, we are going to have
a live conversion.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
to the IBBN stage, Miss Vanjie!

Can I get a Britney?

-[whip whooshing]
-[all] Britney!

Thank you, sisters.
All right, now I have randomly picked

two whores that don't know
sh*t about Britney!

That they don't know about
"Hit Me, Baby,"

they don't know about
"Oops, I Did It!"

They don't know about the hair whipping,
they don't know about "Work, Bitch!"

They don't know about "Lucky,"
they don't know about "Sometimes,"

they don't frappe drinks,

they don't walk to the 7-Eleven
without shoes, Jesus!

Thank ya, Britney!

-Amen.
-Amen.

Now, bring out
the chicken heads, please!

In Britney's name.

[scoffs]

Y'all see what I gotta work with.

But we shall get lucky!

What is your name
and where are you from, young lady?

My name is Yvie,

and I'm, like,
from some sh*t hole in the Midwest.

[sighing] I will attempt, live,

one of my Britney Spears...
[whip whooshing] ritual.

We takin' it down to 2007!

[whip whooshing]
I'm attempting the Britney scalpin'!

-Oh, my... Oh!
-Get this... Get this hair, baby!

-Oh, my--!
-In Britney's name!

Yes! Now, in Britney's name.

[whip whooshing]
Stronger, perfume.

Can I get a hitcha?
Ah, hit me baby!

-Hitcha!
-Hitcha!

Yes!

-Ladies and gentlemen...
-Work, baby!

We got a Britney! Britney!

You helped me break the ice,
and I am stronger than yesterday!

You can get her music
available on iTunes and everything else.

Thank you, Miss Vanjie!

I thanked myself.

-[laughing]
-And you, too, Britney.

[Nina]
I'm falling out of character because,

there's one thing about Vanessa,

when that bitch opens her mouth,
it's an amazing thing to watch.

"Thank you, Miss Vanjie!
I just thanked myself!"

Moving right along, tobackkackka!

My name is Mercedes
and I am from the jungles in Africa!

[shrieking]

Have you ever heard of Mrs. Spears?

What is Spears?
What's Britney?

Where I'm from we only have spirits.

Girl...
Oh, my God, you had one job.

It just worked on sis,
it will work on this.

-[laughing]
-All right, Stronger by Britney.

-Come on, now!
-[Mercedes screaming]

Get a hit me baby,
hit me baby, hit me baby, go!

-And we got it! A Britney!
-Yes, yes!

Thank you, ladies and gentleman!
Get the choreography,

♪ Hit me baby one more... ♪

And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is Miss Vanjie.

-Take it back, sisters.
-[organ music]

-Thank you, sister Vanjie!
-What and how!

Holy, Britney!

-Can you believe it?
-I cannot believe it!

-I'm so inspired and on fire right now!
-I know!

Next, we have a musical guest
that is so good,

y'all might just blackout.

-Whoo-hoo, that was good!
-Thank you. We'll see y'all in a minute!

Okay, we're at commercial.

I'm feelin' like I wanna get up
and do a Vegas show my f*ckin' self.

[all laughing]
[whip whooshing]

All right, ladies,
it's time for the final act!

Now is my opportunity
to really shine and show people

that Ariel is, number one,
an entertainer.

Three, two, one...
Action!

Welcome back!

Now, we know some of you
might just be getting home

from work, bitch, but we got one more
special segment just for you!

I'm thrilled to welcome
to the IBBN stage,

Sister Ariel and Sister Silky.

-Oh, and you know what? We've got...
-[both] The Britney spirit!

-[vocalizing]
-Yes!

I was addicted to Whitney,
but now, I'm all about Britney!

-All about Britney, all about Britney.
-Amen.

Oh, baby, baby, hit that track!

♪ Come to the light my friend ♪

♪ 'Cause oops we did again ♪

Yes, we did, y'all!

-[Ross] That's a cut!

Ross looks like he's living.
It's silly, it's stupid, it's fun.

We remember all the words.

We were letting the song have it,
that we wrote.

And I'm just feeling really good.

[vocalizing]

-This has been so much fun!
-Aw!

Sister, sisters, can we take this out
with a group sing-along?

-I would love that.
-Come on, y'all.

Hit it, ladies.

-Amen! And cut!

As a unit we pulled through!

'Cause even Beyoncé and Kelly
gotta pull Michelle!

So, we did that.
Now, we probably can't air that but...

If I gotta rephrase it I will.

Collectively, we slayed the challenge.

-[Ross] Thank you.
-Bye.

-Thank you!
-That's Britney, bitch!

It's time for us to sh**t
our she-vangelical TV show.

Hey, hey, hi!

This is live, one take!

Baby, we are praising Mariah.

We about to convert these sheeps
into these lambs.

All right, we're live
in three, two... Action!

Welcome!

My little lambs!

To When You Believe:

The Church of Mariah Carey.

Oh, yes, my little lambs,

this hour, we will worship and praise

The Emancipation of Mimi, darling.

-Can I get an amen!
-Amen!

Now, I think we need to start out
with a little prayer.

[clears throat]

Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here today,

in the name of love.

And though we may walk through

the valley of technical difficulties
and false...

-whistle tones, honey.
-Whoo!

We are here in the name of Mariah.

Can I get an...
Aaa-men?

[both] Amen!

[laughing]

Girl, what's goin' on here?

Now, Minister Shuga,
nothing happens for free!

No, ma'am!

And for the low, low,
low, low, low price of 49.99,

you too can make it happen
with this beautiful butterfly here.

It is not just any butterfly, honey.
It is a miracle butterfly.

-Make sure you dial 1-800--
-[both] Mariah!

-For the miracle, darling.
-Ooh, yes!

But speaking of heroes,
you did say heroes, honey,

we have our sister in Mariah,
Miss Plastique Tiara, honey!

Ooh, girl!

You are not gonna
wanna miss this girl!

I hear there is a non-believer
in the house!

[gasping]

-Viewers stick around.
-Stick around.

[Ross] Okay--

Now, don't you go makin'
like an ex-fiancée,

you better stick around with us.

We'll be right back with
Sister Plastique and a live conversion.

Whoo!

And we're at commercial.

Girl...

[sighing]

Let's move on to the conversion segment.

Ooh!

In three, two, one...
Action!

Now, welcome on back, y'all,

to When You Believe:
The Church of Mariah Carey!

Now, not everything
has to be live, Miss Shuga.

-That is true, honey.
-Especially vocals.

But we have something
incredibly live today,

and I am so happy to introduce
Sister Plastique

and a very, very live conversion.

Right before our very eyes, sugar.

Oh, hello, darlings!

My name's Plastique Tiara
of the Mariah-ism,

and today me and my girl's,
Morocco and Monroe,

are so happy to have found
a long lost lamb

passed out in the sidewalk of an...

[demon voice] Ariana Grande...

[normal voice]
One Last Time fellowship.

Girl, fish turned into a demon!

Everybody, please welcome,

A'Keria Dupree Davenport O'Hara Brown.

Hello, sweetie,
how are you doing today?

I've been set up!

Oh, God, I've been... Don't...
You got bubs on you, bitch!

-Ah, I can't!
-Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

The power of Ariana Grande...

-The power of Ariana Grande...
-[demon voice] Ariana Grande?

That's not a good choice.

Thank God she pretty though.

Sweetie, you are here to be
converted into one of our lambs!

That'll never happen.
I tried to give her a chance,

about five years ago.

I watched that movie Sparkle
that she starred in.

-We love Sparkle!
-Sparkle.

Why don't we love Sparkle!

That movie didn't go
no further than a marriage,

and then I tried to
give her a second chance

and she didn't sing live.

Oh, sweetie. Oh, sweetie, it was...

[demon voice]
It was a microphone problem.

Liar, Carey.

[normal voice] Don't worry 'cause when
you look into my eyes,

you will feel...

[demon voice] You will feel...

[normal voice] So...
[high-pitched screaming]

Ariana, Ariana!

Ariana, Ariana!

-Oh, yes!
-Ariana, Ariana!

-Mariah, Mariah!
-Yes!

[off-key vocalizing]

And... that is how
we belong together.

-Now back to you, Scarlet!
-Ooh!

Lord, I tell you...

-I used to be a non-believer, honey...
-What do you tell us?

But that just shows in live television
the power that is Mariah, honey.

Get ready, 'cause we've got
more treats up for you today,

here on The Church of Mariah, honey.

We will be back.

Oh, girl, that was incredible!

And we're at commercial break.

Next up, the music segment.
Let's set up.

I know we are a little bit
more struggle bus

then I really wanted us to be.

But, girl, me and Honey,
is about to turn the party, girl,

♪ Throw glitter on the mountai... ♪

♪ On the runway... ♪
Hold on.

Three, two, one...
Action!

Now, welcome on back our little lambs.

Miss Shuga, I think it's time to sing!

Oh, honey, what better way
to express the Mariah-ism

than through the gospel of music, honey!

Whoo!
We have our very own

Sister Honey and Sister Ra'Jah.

That's right,
don't you forget about us! [laughs]

Now!

This is her glitter, which she has
boxed-office crashed for us.

[laughing]

Not only was it just
an emancipation, Lord,

I just want to let you lambs know...

Ain't nothing too deep
for this glitter can't help.

This glitter can power for...

It can power through anything.
Anything!

Miss Honey, I think we oughta sing
these people a song.

In just a minute,
because I need to let you all know

-before we sing this song--
-What you--

That love do take time,
but you, too, can join

into Camp Mariah, honey.

And if you do,
she will be your music box-ah!

Now, can I get
a 28-million dollar contract-ah!

Ooh, where is my Tommy Motolla?
Where is my Tommy Motolla ?

But, all right, let's go on ahead
and get this thing started.

All right, honey.

They should have been touching

"I'm having a technical difficulty."

Well, y'all, this has been

My parting bit of advice to you...

Bring it on the runway.

Thank you!

Overall, I think our team is, um...

headed to the gate,
and it ain't of heaven.

Girl, this turnt scene is over,
it's time for the runway!

Today is elimination day.
I'm just not feeling confident

about my team's challenge yesterday.

I'm like in my feelings today
about the whole thing, like--

Why?

I'm going over, like, our little hiccup.

I'm going over
the little musical hiccup.

Some of my team is nervous,
which kind of makes me nervous,

'cause I thought I did,
like, out of the park job.

Or am I having, like, a milk moment?

Where I thought I really slayed it
but on the camera...

No.

The only thing we can do is bring it
to the runway, all right?

Bring it to the runway!

-Hi, papi!
-Hi!

-How are you?
-Good.

What's goin' on?

I've been noticing Brook
and Vanjie with this little

cuddle buddy type stuff, girl.

[Brook Lynn]
You were so good yesterday.

I was feelin' the spirit,
the holy ghost.

Mmm.

-[Brook Lynn] It was so good.
-Thank you!

There might be something beautiful
blossoming from this work room.

Mmm-hmm.

Sis, what was your jush?
In the thang?

[vocalizing]

Yeah.
'Cause you had went to Wakanda for that.

Ah, girl, I sure did.

It was good though,
'cause I ain't ever been to church,

so, it was like a good idea,
like, you know, for--

You ain't ever been to church?

-No.
-Any church? Or church in general?

-Church in general.
-She's a Muslim.

-So...
-She what?

Muslims, I thought Muslims go to church.

-Y'all go to mausoleum?
-No, mosque.

Ain't that like church though?

But, I mean, church to me
is just a building.

In your culture,
how do y'all worship Allah?

-I think that's what we tryin' to--
-You just--

-How do you worship Allah?
-Who the hell is Allah?

Come back here, girl, we ain't--

I gotta get ready, girl.
I gotta get ready!

Ah, Lord, she exits stage left, y'all.

[Vanessa] Mercedes' religion
has been brought up,

that she's Muslim.
And Miss Thing just ran, like,

girl, what... why...
you can talk with us.

We your sisters, what's up?

I just prefer not to talk about it,
religion at all.

Is this something personal?
I don't know, I just...

Can we talk about something else?
[laughs]

Do y'all mind if I leave you
encouraging words?

Absolutely, girl, we should--

Okay, we gonna give you
an encouraging word,

okay, 'cause some of y'all need Jesus.

Okay, if you got faith
and you ain't gonna be in the bottom

let me hear you say, "Yeah!"

[all] Yeah!

If you got faith
you gonna be at the top,

let me hear you say, "Oh, yeah!"

-[all] Oh, yeah!
-Whoo!

See, that's crazy 'cause I'm Catholic,

and when we go to church,
you can't talk,

you can't breathe, you can't do sh*t.

In a black church, you sit,
you be quiet,

but when they tell you
to do something, like sing--

So, how the f*ck did you manage?

[all laughing]

For my look today,
I have to paint my entire body

from the top of my head
to the bottom of my toe nails.

All right, time to get
for real, for real, about it.

Oh, there's a d*ck!

Yvie, baby,
I just see her anteater out...

Ooh!
Somebody order sausage?

I'm feelin' my Alaska realness.

[laughing]

Good Miss Yvie,
her meat is hanging out

and she is paintin' it pink,

as if she is the only person
in the room.

It's about to get super explicit.

Girl, I hope you
throwin' them sponges away

'cause you gonna get pink eye
or something, bitch. [laughs]

[all clapping]

Welcome to the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

It's our lady of the New Jersey
turnpike, Michelle Visage.

Can I get a, "Yes, gawd!

-Um... no.
-[laughing]

It's the hilarious Ross Matthews.

Now, did my girls take you to church?

Oh, Ru, you know I'm drag-nostic.

-Oh, yes, my bad.
-Thank you.

Escandalo, it's Guillermo Díaz!

It's handled, Ru.

[RuPaul laughing]

I feel so much better now.

[panel laughing]

And my, my, my...
it's Troye Sivan!

Hi Ru, I'm so excited
to be here and, you know,

I bloomed just for you.

I bet you say that
to all the queens.

-I do, I do.
-[Michelle laughing]

This week, we challenge my girls
to raise the roof

in their own diva worship TV shows.

And, tonight on the runway,
get ready to binge.

Because category is: fringe!

Gentleman, start your engines,
and may the best woman win!

First up, Honey Davenport.

[Michelle]
Ah, my VHS exploded!

[RuPaul laughing]

[Honey] My fringe is inspired
by Lady Gaga's Angel Down costume.

This runway is important
because it represents

all the love I've lost
to g*n v*olence.

[Ross] But why it gotta be black?
Always...

[RuPaul] Scarlet Envy.

-[Ross] Now why it gotta be white?
-[RuPaul laughing]

[Scarlet]
The gloves, the matching corset

and, of course, my long ass fingernails
are next-level fringe.

I'm feeling incredible.

-[Ross] You Betty White.
-[Michelle laughing]

[RuPaul] Shuga Cain.

[Ross] We call her,
Dances with Drag Queens.

[laughing]

[Shuga] I wanted to give a nod
to my native heritage.

Apache inspired tribal paint,
the fringe,

the feathers, and all the glamour.

[RuPaul]
Do you know the way to Santa Fe?

[RuPaul and Michelle laughing]

[RuPaul] Plastique Tiara.

[Michelle] Silver fox... trot.

[Plastique]
My fringe is very high-drag,

very glamorous, sparkly,
and I'm giving a full-on pony.

[RuPaul] You know that
pony tail reminds me of--

[demon voice] Ariana Grande!

[Michelle laughing]

[RuPaul] A'Keria C. Davenport.

[Michelle] Now I know what to do
with my menorah after Hanukkah!

[laughing]

[A'Keria] Ladies, gents,
your queen has just arrived

and I am giving you straight goddess.

The goddess of love,
body and beauty, baby.

Cleopatra who?

[RuPaul]
Meet you at P.F. Chang's!

[Michelle laughing]

[RuPaul]
Ra'Jah O'Hara.

[Ross] Now those are
what I call ruby slippers.

[Ra'Jah] Red fringe from head to toe,

giving you majorette tease
with my favorite get-em-girl boots.

'Cause when I stomp down this runway

you are must definitely
gonna have to eat it.

[Ross]
There's no place like h*m*!

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Nina West.

Michelle, what is mopping?

[Michelle] Mopping is...

-Well, what Nina's wearing.
-[RuPaul] Oh!

[Nina] I'm wearing this great
mushroom headpiece

that's giving me some fringe hair.

It's fun, it's fanciful,
I'm really bopping down

and I'm really feeling
confident in this look!

[RuPaul] This really is
RuPaul's Best Fringe Race.

[Michelle laughing]

[RuPaul] Brook Lynn Hytes.

[Ross] I'll just say it,
she's looking a little hippie.

[Brook Lynn] I am giving you
Coachella meets Woodstock.

Daisy chain fringe...

[vocalizing] Fantasy!

I look like a beautiful flower child
floating down the runway.

She's giving me fever! Hay fever.

[all laughing]

[RuPaul] Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

-It's Charro!
-[laughing]

[Vanjie] I'm inspired by
Cher's Bob Mackie,

but I'm doing the Latino version
from the hood.

I'm hitting my hips
to the side Shakira-style.

Shout out to her, J-Lo, Cher,

all those, them rolled in,
encompassed into one.

[Ross] I love that wig,
I wonder if she'd... Cher it.

[all laughing]

[RuPaul] Yvie Oddly.

Who ordered the calamari?

[laughing]

[Yvie] I am serving you straight up
jelly-fringe couture.

I usually att*ck my drag
from a conceptual platform.

My drag's about going where
other people won't even think of going.

I'm here to, like, sting you, bitch.

[Michelle] Ow, she stung me!
Can someone pee on me?

[laughing]

[RuPaul]
Mercedes Iman Diamond.

[Ross]
We are fringe with benefits.

[RuPaul laughs]
Yes!

[Mercedes] My fringe look is like
m*llitary, ya know, the camouflage.

I feel good, I feel sexy,
and I am gonna make sure

that I'm lookin' the judges
right in the eye, like,

"Oh, I know you like it!"

[RuPaul] There's always one that ends up
with a lampshade on her head!

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Ariel Versace.

-Hey, this is fringe, Jersey-style!
-[Michelle] Yeah!

[Ariel] I didn't really do,
like, a classic fringe,

'cause, you know, I'm not like
that classic drag kinda girl.

So, this is Ariel's version
of fringe and I love it.

Holographic fringe payette realness.

[RuPaul] I know she's in Jersey,
but my guess is Ass-bury Park.

[Michelle giggling]

[RuPaul] Silky Nutmeg Ganache
with extra whip.

[Ross] It is Bob Mackie's
cookie monster collection!

[RuPaul laughing]

[Silky]
Bitch, I made this costume myself.

It has over 80 yards of fringe on it.

And I am feelin' my fantasy.
The party is all the way turnt.

[Michelle]
Ru, how blue is her bayou?

[RuPaul] That's a good question.

[Ross] I'm sorry that one
blue right by me. [laughing]

Welcome ladies,
I've made some decisions.

It's Britney Bitch Network...
you are the winning team.

[gasping]
[cheering]

Thank you.

And one of you really
touched a piece of me.

Nina West, con-drag-ulations
you are the winner

of this week's challenge!

Holy sh*t, I just, I just won.

This is exactly what
I came here to do

and I'm spraying my scent
on this competition! [laughs]

You've won a $3,500 gift card

from ISLYNYC, jewelry and accessories.

Yes!

Vanjie... Ariel...

Good work this week.

Team IBBN, you are all safe
and you may leave the stage.

Ladies, you are all up for elimination.

It's time for the judges critiques,
starting with Scarlet Envy.

I love this glam,
I think that your hair and makeup

look absolutely stunning.

As far as the challenge,
I wish you guys would've

paid a little bit more homage
to Mariah Carey.

I kept thinking,
"Wait, who are they talking about?"

Sort of put the pacing
of the whole scene on you

because you were the host,

you had the role that Nina
had in the other group.

And she really kinda kept things moving,
and it felt to me

like the group as a whole
felt a little, like, panicked.

In fact, when I visited
you all backstage,

I got the sense that you guys
didn't know a lot about Mariah.

I sort of lent you some
of my knowledge of Mariah,

and you seemed to
have used all of it!

I was afraid that might happen.

All right, Shuga Cain.

The look tonight, I love that
you are showing who you are.

Well, Shuga Cain, yo soy Cubano.

I love that you're Apache and Latina,
it's so unique.

As far as the challenge goes,
what I said to Scarlet,

same note to you, I think
that the hosts really could have

picked up the pace of the whole scene.

Yeah, on Scandal, we have this thing
when we do a scene

they would say,
"You guys have to Scandal-pace it."

And if that pace is there,
it always makes the scene better.

And I feel like that pace,
especially for the two hosts,

was kind of missing.

Plastique Tiara.

You had such a crucial part,
you were serving a live conversion.

And you were taking some
big swings, with the...

[demon Voice] Ariana Grande...

[normal voice]
...voice, but it didn't work.

I don't know that you had,
like, a real love for Mariah.

I only found out about pop culture
about, like, three years ago.

-[Ross] Really?
-Yeah.

-Do they not know Mariah in Vietnam?
-No, girl.

I came over when I was 11,

but I found out about Beyoncé,
legit, four years ago.

This is where you all could have
worked together as a group

to educate each other.

And, also, you guys got to choose
who you wanted to worship.

Was there anybody else
that you thought,

"Oh, maybe we should do Madonna,
Gaga, Cher and J-Lo?"

"Latoya?"

We all agreed that we can get
more material from Mariah,

but like I said, I'm not really big
into the pop culture.

A'Keria C. Davenport. In my notes,
I wrote down "Chandeleria. Love."

[laughing]

It kind of reminds me
of, like, a couture Carol Burnett,

you know, Bob Mackie costume,
it's really unique.

Tonight, you just look, like,
out of this world stunning.

This is like exactly what
I was hoping to see when I was told

-that I was coming to Drag Race.
-Thank you.

I actually didn't hate your performance.

But there was not enough set up for me.

Why is she touching the earring?
Oh, they're A's, oh, Ariana, okay!

I was having to figure it out.

I just wish you would have
really explained everything better.

'Cause I don't wanna do the work.

All right, up next, Honey Davenport.

I love your interpretation of fringe.

I wanna, like, wear it to brunch
or something like that really bad.

[laughing]

But as far as the challenge goes,

you two at the end,
musically it was interesting.

[off-key vocalizing]

I don't know if you were, like,
trying to figure out your harmonies

or what was going on.

Everyone knows these women,
"Take us to church!"

But for me it fell flat.

To be honest, in these
last three weeks, I don't know

why I have been, like, so in here
and not protecting out there.

But, honey, and this goes
for everyone, look at these divas

that we're worshiping.

Even they have human moments.

But when the lights on,
we don't know about it.

Well, New Year's Eve,
and Mariah Carey--

Girl, how dare you bring that up!
How dare you bring that up!

[laughing]
Up next, Ra'Jah O'Hara.

You know what I'm gonna
say about tonight.

Listen, guys, you're drag queens

I know that a leotard
is gonna happen a few times.

But let's take a look at Shuga
and how she made it not so obvious,

and when you're standing
next to these chicks,

it's hard for you
not to get watered down.

-Do you know what I'm sayin'?
-I do.

In the challenge, compared to Honey,
you were a little better.

But it was very clear which team
was on the bottom this week.

The job was to be funny, and convert us
to The Church of Mariah.

But the teamwork wasn't there,
it wasn't clicking.

I was a little bummed out
to see you guys not have a clear vision.

Yeah, because we're actually trying
to see if you girls

have what it takes to run a show.

But I have three words
for all of you girls

in terms of this challenge...

Stink, stank, stunk.

I'd like to know from each of you,
who's responsible?

I'll take responsibility.
I would've suggested somebody

that I could have really conveyed.

We would have done a little better.

So, you're blaming yourself?

I'm definitely taking responsibility
for my flaws in the challenge,

and I know that mine
was definitely a big part of it.

I wanna say as a whole
we all dropped the ball.

Scarlet, who do you think
is responsible for this?

Well, I agree with my sisters.

As a team, we...
I don't wanna single anyone out.

I mean, I myself flubbed
a few puns that I had written down.

What about you, Shuga?

-I really do feel the same.
-The same what?

-I feel like we all dropped the ball.
-What about you, Plastique?

I pretty much agree,
we all reach a group consensus

of what celebrity that we're gonna do.

I came in with the least knowledge,
so I was the weak link of the group--

The least knowledge, well, you know
what this competition is?

-I've--
-You know what is expected of you.

The truth is if you don't know,
you better ask somebody.

What about you Ra'Jah?

Doing Mariah, it wasn't something
that I just threw out.

But I feel like maybe
if we would've just took

a little bit more time
to figure out a diva

that we all knew
a little bit more about,

that we could actually embody
the essence of that entertainer.

All right, ladies,
while you untuck backstage,

the judges and I will deliberate.

All right, just between
us squirrel friends, what do you think,

starting with Scarlet Envy?

In the challenge, didn't work for me.
I wasn't drawn into the character.

She didn't carry the scene
like I think she could have.

I was really let down
by Scarlet this week.

Because she did so great last week.

It was literally the same character
only in a church lady's costume.

All right, let's move on to Shuga Cain.

As a host, she fell flat for me.

I can't think of one, like, positive
thing about the challenge, for her.

I did appreciate, she was goin'
for that Jan Crouch thing.

-Sure!
-I thought she was

actually the best in this group.

I mean, it's not saying much,
this group was not great.

But when you're on a sinking ship,
honey, you're like me on a first date.

-You're still going down.
-[laughing]

Let's move on to Plastique Tiara.

[Michelle] Her look, out of everybody,
excited me the most.

I was like,
"Oh, she's gonna nail this."

And then it literally went nowhere.

She did really well
on the acting challenge last week.

She created a character and it worked.

This week, it was just
sort of a mess for me.

[RuPaul]
A'Keria Chanel Davenport.

I think she was near the bottom for me.

Because the whole piece
rested on the conversion.

We needed her to come out,
and not come out on that stage

a non-believer, and then be
a born again Mariah believer.

And the scene didn't work.

And worshiping Ariana Grande.

If you're gonna do that
then come out in a great pony tail.

[Troye]
I completely agree about the pony tail.

If you're gonna be an Ariana fan
that didn't come across to me.

She coulda come out licking a donut.

Like there are so many funny things
she coulda done, yeah.

All right, Honey Davenport.

In the sketch for me, Honey and Ra'Jah
sort of were a package.

You forget about us?

My critiques for both of them
are pretty much the same in that,

it just didn't work, it just didn't gel.

Then they started singing,
and it was literally,

like, please, just stop, guys.

[RuPaul laughing]

And they're not even
improv-ing that much

because they had already
put together the song.

Allegedly.

Allegedly, but they weren't
comin' up on the fly

with what they were gonna say,
they had it prepared.

You gotta work hard to mess that up.

[RuPaul] Ra'Jah O'Hara.

On the runway tonight...

It's just we've seen it.
It's average.

[Michelle] This isn't a bar,
you would wear that at a bar,

this is RuPaul's Drag Race main stage.

Well, Michelle, if this isn't bar,

why do you come to work
drunk every day?

[laughing]

[slurring] Good question!

Again, like Troye said,
I feel like her and Honey,

I have the same issues with them,
it didn't work.

I just can't get over the fact
that they chose Mariah.

As a team effort,
they didn't help one another.

And listen, when I asked them
who to blame?

They pretty much, across the board,
said, "All of them."

But you know what,
they're probably right.

-I agree.
-All right... [claps] Silence!

I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Y'all need to step ya p*ssy up.

For the first time
in Drag Race her-story...

all of you will be
lip-syncing for your lives.

[Scarlet] Oh, my God!

-What?
-What?

[whispering] Holy sh*t.
I, like, can't breathe.

Oh, Mama is mad
and all six of y'all have to pay!

Face...

Chile...

Six queens stand before me.

Ladies...

This is your last chance
to impress me and save yourself...

from elimination.

The time has come...

with your lip sync...

for your life!

[A'Keria] At this point,
I don't know if she's finna

send three of us home
or if she's gonna send two home.

My mind is blank.

[Scarlet]
How do I use this stage

without hitting these b*tches
in the face?

If I gotta cut a bitch off,
a bitch is getting cut right here,

that Tonya Harding moment.

Good luck...
and don't... f*ck it up.

Honey, I'm sorry, my dear,
but this is not your time.

Now... sashay away.

I wish I could have
shown you more of myself

from the moment I walked into the gate.

But I thank you
for the opportunity to do so.

Thank you so much, this is my dream.

[clapping]

-We love you!
-We love you, Honey.

Don't ever let your insecurities
come between you and your dreams.

Thank you, Ru.

[crying]

This, this hurts.

But sometimes you fail and that's okay.

This is just one step along my journey.

I am not done.
I... I am not done.

Con-drag-ulations ladies, and remember,
if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell
you gonna love somebody else?

-Can I get an amen up in here?
-[all] Amen!

All right, now let the music play!

You'll be performing

Tr*mp The Rusical.

Seven, eight, up...
And down.

I'm really gonna b*mb this challenge.

-[instructor] Drop, open...
-Ooh, that was--

-[instructor] Uh-huh.
-I'm sorry.

Imagine doing this
and lip-syncing, good luck.

Please, don't slap that man,
Miss Ra'Jah.

You look ah-may-zing.

-You're a great performer.
-You just sorta disappeared.

Everything that you know about Drag Race
is thrown out the window.
