someone already

brought my vintage hair,

into question, like,

how we play the game
because, like,

is this a competition of merit?

Like, are we all gonna actually
fairly score each other

based on what we think
the performance quality was?

Or are we gonna rank those girls

that we think are threats?

- I mean...

- My strategy
going into this is,

I'm gonna be fair about this.

I don't know all of you
that well yet.

And I want to be fair
in my assessment.

I don't know how long
each of y'all are gonna

last in this competition.

But what I do know is
that if I see something

that I'm like, yes, bitch, work,

that's gonna be my top vote.

opinions of your performance

and your drag
than anything else.

- Thank you,
my congenial sister.

like, voting meritus as well.

like they're trying
to play nice,

a dirty game.

a little bit,

I've just met these girls
that are around me,

what you've brought.

Your Instagram is immaculate.

f*cking bring it.

New York girls always bring it.

We need to make
a New York alliance, no?

You know, in preparation
for Rate-a-Queen,

I gotta have some friends.

I'm here to play the game,
and I will do

anything to get that immunity.

- How do y'all feel?

- I'm not gonna even lie
to you, I'm a little nervous.

- What do you think
Jane's gonna do?

- I don't know.

I feel like... I know she said
she would vote fair,

but she gives me the vibe
like she might not.

- Bitch, I was thinking
the exact same thing.

[laughter]

- Like, I'm like, I'm...

I'm sorry
I'm thinking like that,

but I just get the vibe
that she'll be like, yeah,

I'm gonna vote fair, and then
f*ck all those b*tches,

I'm trying to get immunity.

- Okay, we're getting
into it, baby.

We're getting into it.

- As quickly as
we're becoming friends,

the competitive side in
everybody is creeping back up.

Everybody's gunning
for that $5,000 and immunity.

So I think
all of us are to watch,

'cause we don't know
what's gonna happen.

- New York in the house,
thank you.

- Oh, fresh day.

- Girl.

- It's a new bright, shiny day,
and our first maxi challenge

is the Queen Choice Awards.

This is your "RuPaul's Drag
Race" main stage debut,

and Ru has asked us to rate
our fellow competitors.

So it's a little bit
like, ah, here we go!

- Are you girls excited
for the talent show?

- I'm excited for it.

You know, I have many talents,

and I'm excited to display
my big, juicy talents

to Mama Ru on that stage.

- What kind of juicy talents
are you preparing?

- You'll have to see, baby.

You'll have to see.

I'm holding my cards
to my chest.

I don't want these
other girls to know what it is

that I'm going to do,

because, boy,
do I have somethin' for ya.

- What are you gonna do?

- I kind of wanted to use
this moment

to speak up about
all this, like,

anti-drag sentiment
that's happening.

- It's frustrating.

We all just want
to, like, exist and live

our lives and entertain
and not have to...

deal with the bullshit.

It's important for people
to be able to live

freely on this Earth.

And that's what drag is.

Drag is expressing yourself
exactly how you want to

and not giving a f*ck
what anybody else has to say.

It's the goblin p*rn.

That is what's truly polluting
the minds of Americans...

The goblin p*rn, honey.

- It's the goblins.

It's not the drag queens.

- No, it's not.

- [laughs]

♪ ♪

- All right, now.

How do we think
everyone's gonna do?

- I'm interested to see
Plane Jane's performance.

And then Ms. Mhi'ya is
about to eat everybody up.

- Oh, yeah.

It looks like she's dancing...

- Yeah.

- Which, like,
I'm excited to see.

I don't think these girls are
paying any attention to me.

- Intriguing.

- Wait, do you think people are?

- When I first saw you,

I said, okay,
competition started.

- Well, that's because
we were the only two

in the f*cking room.
- Well.

- [laughs]

The girls have their eyes
on Mhi'ya, Plane,

and Nymphia, and no one's
looking out for the underdog.

And right now,
that feels like me.

But when it's Plasma's turn
to get on that stage,

it's Plasma's stage.

And there's no one in the world
who can take that from me.

♪ ♪

- So wait,
Nymphia is from Brooklyn?

- I'm from Taiwan.

I just moved to Brooklyn
last year in August.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

Fresh, fresh off the boat.

- [laughs]

- Were you doing drag
out in Taiwan?

- Yeah, I was doing drag there
for, like, five years.

- How's the scene there?

- It's very small.

Everyone knows each other.

The drag scene in Taiwan,
everyone kind of

is, like, this really big
drag family.

And the government in Taiwan

is very supportive
of gay rights.

We are the first country in
Asia to legalize gay marriage,

and I'm very proud
to say I'm Taiwanese.

- Sister, you're gearing up
to host "Drag Race: Taiwan."

- I don't think
Taiwan's big enough

to have their own "Drag Race."

- Well, listen, maybe
you'll make the scene blow up.

- Hopefully.

I feel like I have a lot
of expectation back home.

Like, oh, my God,
Nymphia is going to America.

I wonder what she's gonna do.

I feel a lot of pressure,
like I want to make them proud

and, you know,
win it for the country.

♪ ♪

- Miss diva, is there
a significant other

in the picture?

- I do have a partner.

- Oh, work.

- We have two kids, girl.

- Oh, my God, you have kids?

- A three- and a two-year-old,
yes.

- Did you call a sitter
before you came here?

- [laughs]

My boyfriend's sister, she...

She struggles a lot,
and she knew

she couldn't take care
of her kids.

So she put 'em up for adoption.

He was like, I want you
to be a dad with me,

and I was like, oh.

- Wait, that's sweet, though.

- Girl, it's... I don't know.

That's been the hardest part
about being here

so far, though, because...

- You're missing your kids?

- Yeah, it's really
f*cking hard.

Farrell's the oldest.
He's three years old.

And then a year later,
we got his sister.

Her name is Egypt,
and she's two.

Egypt is the diva
of the... we be battling

for diva of the house.

[laughs]

- I feel like q*eer people
who have kids

these days are, like, under even

more scrutiny than usual.

- Yeah, some of the stuff
that we've heard

and some of the stuff
that people say,

and not just from online,
but from some

of our family members, too.

- Wait, some of
your family members?

- Oh, yeah.

It's gotten back to us
that certain family members

said, like, what are they
teaching 'em over there?

Are they okay?

Like, what is she doing that
in front of them for?

Why does Hershii feel
like she need to do...

A whole bunch
of unnecessary questions.

And me doing drag is
literally the last thing

my kids think about every day.

The first thing they want
to know in the morning

is who is feeding them
and then what am I

turning on the television.

[laughs]

I love being a daddy.

It's scary.

I'm not gonna lie to you,
especially in the climate

that we're in now.

I'm very popular on TikTok,
and it comes with trolls.

They say very mean things.

At the same time, I'm getting
a whole bunch of responses

from other gay dads out there,
and they're like,

thank you for being seen.

Thank you for putting
yourself out there.

Some of us can't.

But no, they make me the
happiest thing in the world.

Like, I did not see myself
being a parent,

but every time I hear one
of them walk into the room

and go, "Mama."

- Oh.

Girl, my ovaries are acting up.

- Take a pill, girl.

Seeing you guys take these

Then I turned into
a yellow banana.

who she reminds me of?

My nana.

- Then I peel into my mature,
ripened banana.

Get into these pumps.

Get into these
soft, supple hips.

Mmm.

Ain't I delicious?

- I want s'more.

- I hope you've got

It's Plasma.

- Oh, wow.

- Oh, pin crew.

- [laughs]

- My grandmother was
a seamstress

and had a tomato pincushion.

So tonight on the runway,
I'm a pincushion come to life.

- More cushion for the pushin'.

- I take off the first tomato.

Like, oh,
that's wonderful and cute.

And then I take off the cuffs.
- Oh.

- Oh, it's burlesque.

And then I rip the pants off,
and they're like, oh, bitch,

she packed three reveals in one.

And that is what
a reveals runway should be.

- Now she is what
I call a pinup girl.

[laughter]

- Mhi'ya Iman LePaige.

- I'm serving up
Miami's weather,

a jacket for when it's cold

and a swimsuit
for when it's hot.

- Oh.

- Oh, beach better have
my money.

- Mhi'ya is known for being
a pageantry girl,

a fashionista, just a bad bitch.

I'm feeling hot and fabulous.

- If the glove fits...

- You must acquit.

- Or you must do the splits.

- That.

- Geneva Karr.

Ooh, mariachi.

- Oh, you see Mario, and then,
boom, I turn into Maria.

- Whoo!

- See ya, señor.

- My grandparents would
listen to mariachi music,

so I hold that
close to my heart.

And then there's
this feminine outfit

that my grandmothers would
wear for special occasions.

I didn't leave no sh*t
on the floor.

It was a reveal,

not a "take things off"
kind of gig.

- Mamacita, may I
cha cha with danger?

- Besitos.

- Megami.
- Oh.

- Wow.

- I think your mascara
is running.

- Since Megami means
"goddess," I wanted to be

an all-seeing goddess
above all of this

disgusting human trash.

But where are my eyes?

Then I reveal,
they're in my hands.

- The palms are
the windows to the soul.

- Are they?

- Apparently.

- Plane Jane.

- Princess Elsa.

- Elsa could never.

- I am gliding down the runway
in my gorgeous

Romanov dynasty-inspired
Russian robe.

And then I gently disrobe
to reveal

a big-titted Boston bimbo.

- Oh.

- Okay.
- Wow.

- She's ready to congratulate
the team after their big win.

[laughs]

- Show me on the doll
where Bean Town is.

[laughter]

- This outfit is
a perfect encapsulation

of my drag persona.

Not only is it stunning,
it's also campy.

- Is that a burger finger?

- [laughs]

- Welcome, queens.

This week, your fate lies in
the hands of your competitors.

[suspenseful music]

The judges and I will
provide critiques,

but then it's up to you
to rate your fellow queens.

Up first, Nymphia Wind.

- This sh*t is bananas.

- [laughs]

- It's funny.
It's campy. It's drag.

Every little detail
is perfection.

- And that was
a beautiful performance.

The sleeve-ography
was very impressive.

And I love when culture is
brought to the main stage

because it lets us in
to who you are.

- And I love bananas.

Like, who doesn't love bananas?

- If this is just
a taste of who you are,

I am ready for a buffet.

- All right, up next,
Hershii Liquor Store Jeté.

- That's me.

- Are you related
to our Kornbread?

- I am.

I'm her sister and her best
friend and her aggravation.

[laughter]

- Let's talk about this first.

I love this color on you.
- Thank you.

- My issue with it is
that is a weird-ass length.

That length won't work
for anyone.

It just looks like
it was a mistake.

- I understand.

- But nonetheless, I love
the way you did your number.

It was funny.

It was filled with energy.

- Whiplash and a full bush.

I'm there for it.

It's really a smart way to
brand yourself with something.

You're now the whiplash queen.

- Who wrote the song?

- Kornbread did, actually.

- Kornbread wrote the song?

And what did Kornbread say
to look out for?

- Don't embarrass her.

That's all she said to me.

[laughter]

- Up next, Plasma.

- You're probably
on pins and needles

to hear what
I'm gonna say, right?

- Oh, God.

- This runway look,
exquisite and so fun.

- Tea for two.

The tea was hot.

I was so impressed.

She's an "actreese."

She's a singer.

She can do impressions.

- But you did a lot.

You were doing burlesque.

You were singing, lip-synching,

and doing impressions.

I loved it, but I feel like
sometimes it's better

to pare it down
to be a master at one

instead of a master of none.

- Up next, Mhi'ya Iman LePaige.

- If you're gonna do a reveal,
give us some time

to get used to what you're
wearing before you reveal it,

so it has more of an impact.

- Okay.
- But I'll tell you,

what did have an impact
is that number that you did.

- Is your tuck bruised?
Are you okay?

- [laughs]

- It's bruised.

- I know you need
a couple Advil,

but it was worth it.

- Now, I'm assuming
you were in gymnastics.

Is that right?
- No.

- No?

How'd you learn how to do that?

- Self-taught.

One day, me and my cousins
was out flipping

and just started flipping.

- Wait a minute.

You were out flipping?

I don't think I've ever
flipped in my life.

- Not with my cousins anyway.

[laughter]

- All right, up next,
Geneva Karr.

- When you came out and said,

"Vroom-vroom,
somebody cleared customs,"

I said,
"This bitch is estupido."

- Mucho.

- I fell in love with you
instantly.

- Ah, thank you.

- Because you showed us
where you came from,

and you made it drag.

- And then this was
a beautiful reveal.

You went for the mariachi,
then it came out to this

really feminine,
really flirty dress.

- I might have to fight you
on the crown

for La Diva Más Latina.

I loved everything
you brought today,

and I could not be
any more proud.

- Gracias.

- Up next, Megami in the house.

- I loved the messages
that you were saying.

I think the issue
for me in the number

was it took so long
to get there.

I was staring at the easel
the whole time,

waiting to see what...
What was going on.

And then my main qualm
with this look, Megami,

is there's no reveal.

- So I was thinking
"Pan's Labyrinth."

Like, I plucked out my
eyes and just, like,

they're in my hands now,
and I can see all.

- And the reveal is...

- Her hands.

- The eyes.
- Okay, all right.

- I also want to just curiously
ask you to read, like,

what my future looks like,
because you're

giving this ethereal,
ancestral energy.

- You have the goods.

What I want you to do is think
about every single step of it,

every detail along the way.

- All right, up next,
Plane Jane.

- What the f*ck?
[laughter]

How did you come up
with "Burger Finger"?

- So I was eating a burger.

I happened to get
a whiff of my... my fingers.

- Mm.

- And I immediately wrote down
in my notes "burger finger."

- [laughs]

- We revere stupidity
on this show.

We just love it.

And tonight, I think
you excelled at stupidity.

- What a dumb f*cking idea.

Another dumb idea
is this outfit.

I don't get why
this was hiding under Elsa,

but I'm thrilled it was.

- Thank you.

- I've never heard
those two words,

"burger finger,"
together before,

and I am living for it.

- Oh, my gosh.

- They can do whatever
they want in Congress

in all their little things...

We have burger finger.

[laughter]

Thank you, ladies.

I think you've heard
enough from us.

Now it's time for each of you
to rate your competitors.

Now you may leave the stage.

- I am going to do what I feel
in my heart of hearts

is the right thing to do.

[bell chimes]

- I gotta rate these whores.

- I kind of feel like
everyone is gonna be

really fair about this.

The only one
I have to worry about

is maybe Jane because she does
have that, like, death glare.

- This competition
is messy, America.

[laughs]

- Ah!

I'm not going to be
strategic just yet.

You have to make the right k*ll.

You don't want them to be
like, ah, ah, ah.

You want to, like...

- All right, let's do this.

In first position,
I would put Plane Jane,

because she really surprised me.

- For the first position,
I'm gonna say Geneva.

She actually shocked me,
so kudos to Geneva.

Both: In first position...

- I choose Plasma.

I found her makeup atrocious.

I am treating this Rate-a-Queen
system as another way

that I can ensure that
I'm in that top spot.

In second position,
I choose Mhi'ya Iman LePaige.

So I'm putting
the queens that I think

did the worst in the top.

[laughs]

- For second...

- Position, I'm gonna put
Nymphia Wind.

- In second position,
I choose Plane Jane.

Making Ru laugh is
gonna prove more difficult

than I expected.

[laughs]

Uh, so screw her for that.

- In third position...

- I'm gonna put Megami.

- In fifth position,
I would do Hershii.

Sorry, girl.

- In fifth position...

I'm gonna put Mhi'ya.

The stunts can be seen
everywhere.

Where is your uniqueness?

- For the sixth position,

I'm going to say Megami.

She didn't give a RuVeal.

- In sixth position,
it's Mhi'ya Iman LePaige.

- And in sixth position,
I'm so sorry,

but my sister Nymphia Wind
just didn't stack up.

[bell chimes]

Play the game.

And that's the tea, honeybee.

- And that is the tea.

- And that's...
- The tea.

Both: That's the tea.

- That's the tea.

come as a surprise to me.

I f*cking k*lled it,
