14x02 - Big Opening No. 2

[bunniefuu]

- [RuPaul] Previously,
[Queens screaming]

on RuPaul's Drag Race.
[upbeat music]

We are introducing the season 14
queens

over two episodes.
[suspenseful music]

And before this premiere episode
is over,

one of you will sashay away.

Welcome to the CNTs.
[queens wailing]

[judges laughing, clapping]

- You can go a little faster,

but I'm not going to,

'cause I got a hot shit in the
chamber.

[dramatic music]

- I'm a little, um...confused.

- [RuPaul] June Jambalaya.

- Tonight on the runway,

I can see the dark shorts on
under this.

The finishing touches
are gonna matter, June.

- [RuPaul] Orion Story.

- You gotta have joke
after joke after joke.

And they gotta land.

- [RuPaul] Kornbread with a K.

- I loved the song.

You were funny as hell.

- You are the winner of
this week's challenge.

[all clapping]
[Kornbread screaming]

June Jambalaya, shante you stay.

Orion, sashay away.
[dramatic music]

[upbeat music]

- Woo, girl.
- Lord have mercy.

- We come back into the Werk
Room,

and the vibe's pretty heavy.

Orion was a giant sweetheart.

And like, you watched her
heart break on that stage.

And that could have been any of
us.

- The whole world's about
to know we did that.

Love you.
- Aw, we love you, Orion.

- How are you feeling, June?

- You k*lled it.

- The moment you hear
you're in the bottom,

I'm like, this is not how the
story end.

I am not the first girl that
goes home.

I was like, uh-uh, baby.

This Jambalaya still
got some brewing to do.

- Yeah yeah yeah.
- She's still cookin' bitch!

[all laughing]

- Ooh, lord, the Zatarain's
and Uncle Ben's gods

were on side, honey.
[laughing]

She has survived.

So I got something to prove.

All my life I had to fight,

and I'll be damned if I stop
now.

- This is the first
time June ever cleaned.

She's got a maid at her house.

That's the gag, I know the
bitch.

She got a maid.

Put some back into it.
[all laughing]

- Put that juice in it!

- Shake them black shorts.
[all laughing]

Hopefully you hoes understand
now.

Baby, Kornbread came here to
compete.

- Congratulations, bitch.
- Congratulations, honey.

- It definitely felt great.

So at this point it's just like,
bitch,

now they really looking
at the whole, like,

did we give that $5000 to the
right hoe?

Bitch, you did, bitch!

[all laughing]

- So how are you feeling
about meeting the other group?

- Girl.
[dramatic music]

- I don't really need
to meet anybody else.

There's like a lot of
strength in this cast.

- Yeah.

- I'm hoping they're all ugly.

[all laughing]

- I hope they don't
touch none of my stuff,

'cause you know, it's gonna go
from RuPaul

to Bad Girls Club real fast.
[all laughing]

- They touch anything of yours,
June,

we know it won't be tights.

[all laughing]

I gotta get up out of this.
[suspenseful music]

- We survived week one,

but that's not gonna last for
long,

'cause we got some next b*tches
coming up

to come take our spot.

And if they're just as strong as
we are,

things are bound to blow the
f*ck up.

[suspenseful music]

[upbeat dance music]

- Hello-tis!

It is gorgeous like Jorgeous.

Ow!
[spicy Latin music]

It is me, the one, the
only gorgeous Jorgeous.

And I am the little spicy,
little Latina goddess.

Make sure you get this mug,
mama.

I would describe my drag style

as a very Tex Mex Latina
Showgirl realness.

My drag is inspired by Latina
women.

J Lo, Selena.

It's hella chooky, hella bad
bitch.

I might be small, but
I do pack a big punch.

Shit, there looks like there's
already been queens here.

Okay we got another Latina in
here.

I started doing drag
when I was 16 years old.

I became known as a
danging queen in Texas.

A young dancing queen in Texas.

It's gonna be a lit ass season.

Let's get litty titty.

And now, I'm on RuPaul's Drag
Race.

Let's get this party started.

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 14!

Oh my god!

[sensual jazz music]

- Alright Season 14,

let's get thickening!

What's up, b*tches?

My name is DeJa Skye,

and I'm here to let you know,

embrace the curve, people.

- [Jorgeous] She's campy!

[upbeat dance music]

- My drag is bold, it's
colorful.

I love pastel.

They call me Pastel Princess.

I'm a choreographer for cheer
and dance.

I love to move my body.

I'm big, but I can break it
down.

Oh my god, bitch, we are here!

- Good morning, sister!

- Oh my god.
- So nice to meet you.

- What is your name?
- Jorgeous.

- DeJa Skye.
- DeJa Skye.

- Oh!
- Yes!

- Bitch, you look good, bitch.

Where are you from?

- Fresno.
- Fresno, California?

- Unfortunately.

It's the armpit.

- Oh my god.

Are you a Latina?

- A lot of people think I'm
Latina,

but I'm actually Black and
white.

- Oh okay, yes ma'am.
- Yeah, but honestly,

the Latin community has
taken me under their wing.

- Yes ma'am.
- It's a Bingo wing.

But it's a wing.
- Yes! [laughing]

[exciting dance music]

- Oh this here is just the entry
look.

I'm Jasmine Kennedie,

and I'm the ditzy doll of New
York City.

Queens would definitely say my
drag

is polished and pageantry as it
could be.

- [Jorgeous] Bitch, she is
stoned!

- My most impressive drag talent

is my dancing capability.

You ain't gotta worry about a
dance challenge for me, mama.

Five, six, seven, eight,
choreo, here we go!

[all wailing]

- Sisters!
- Oh my god!

- Nice to meet you.
[smooching]

What's your name, baby?
- DeJa, what are you?

- DeJa, Jasmine Kennedie.

- Hi Jas!
- Jorgeous! I know you, bitch.

- Bitch, I know you too.
- I know you, ah!

I am already starstruck,

'cause I've followed Jorgeous

for a very long time.

- Bitch, you better dance the
house down.

- Are you a dancer?
- I am a dancer.

- Are you a dancer?
- Oh yes ma'am.

She's a dancing diva, too,

so that could be my
biggest competition here.

Not gonna lie.

Season 14.
- Season 14, we're here.

And it looks like, by the looks
of it,

some of the girls have already
been here.

- I know.
- Okay we got some cute hair

over there.

We got some chain saws.

- Chain saws?
- We've got leather.

- The way I'm planning on
sticking out of the pack,

one, if it's not for my
dance skills and my costumes,

it's definitely gonna
be with my personality.

And I'm, ugh, so anxious! I
cannot wait.

[backwoods country music]

- You ready to pitch a tent,
America?

The camp queen is here.

- Oh she's on fire.

[back swamp rock]

- My name is Maddy Morphosis,

and I am Arkansas' most
beautiful

camp and comedy queen.

People will say my drag is
stupid

in a good way.

Funny, clever, witty.

- She's flame broiled.

She's a burger queen.

[all laughing]

- I am on fire

in this beautiful Guy Fieri

inspired dress.
[car horn honking]

To my knowledge, I'm the first
cisgendered heterosexual man

to make it to Drag Race.

[all yelling]

Hi queens!

- What is your name?

- I'm Maddy Morphosis.

- [All] Maddy Morphosis.

- Where are you from, babes?

- I'm from Fayetteville,
Arkansas.

- I have some trade in Arkansas.

- You nasty bitch.
- Oh! [laughing]

- My condolences.
[all laughing]

I'm sure a lot of these queens

have probably even never
even met a drag queen

that was straight.

But, I don't feel the need to
clarify, like, my sexuality.

I really want the first
impression
that the girls have of me

to be the content of my drag.

- How long does it take you to
get ready?

- I just woke up like this.
- Oh yes ma'am.

- Just a little chap stick,
mascara.

- Yes, ma'am.
[laughing]

My first impression of Maddy is
very...

I wanna see what else you got.
[laughing]

[old time jazz music]

[queens wooing]

- The name's Angeria,

but you can call me Angie.

Now let's make it shake, honey!

[queens cheering]
[exciting music]

My name is Angeria Paris
VanMichaels,

and I'm the Southern Belle from
ATL.

[bell dings]
[exciting music resumes]

Angeria is probably the most
glamorous

country bumpkin that you
will ever meet in your life.

I am loud, I am country,

but I'm also very polished.

Yeah, I just look like
a star everywhere I go.

Mm-hmm.

Hey ladies!
[queens cheering]

- You a padge girl?
- Yes, I am a pageant girl.

- Let's go padge.

We're here to gag.
- You can tell?

- Yes I can tell.
- Oh how can you tell?

[all laughing]

Old school pageant drag.

Old school music, that's what I
do.

I'll ballad you to death.

Oh yeah.
[all laughing]

I know how to really pull you
in,

and you know, captivate a
audience.

- [laughing] I love that.

- I'm actually getting some
really really good vibes,

some good energy from the girls.

But I know they are looking at
me like,

this bitch did not come here to
play.

And they are absolutely
right, 'cause I did not.

[upbeat dance music]

- Oh!

- Hello, you sexy b*tches!

- Oh my god!

- I am Lady Camden,

and I am America's little Spice
Girl.

Girl power.

I'm originally from
Camdentown in North London.

And now I live in Sacramento.

- Is that bra edible?
[all laughing]

- When I'm in drag,

I sort of live in my 90s
pop princess fantasy.

There's always something
that's a little tacky,

but just tacky enough.

[all cheering]
[upbeat music]

- Oh my god!
- Oh my god!

I know DeJa from back home.

We've performed together.

What the f*ck are you doing
here?

- I'm saying!

- I am so surprised to see her
here.

I mean, we just haven't had a
lot of

North California representation.

Work.

- What's your type of drag?

- I'm sort of like the sixth
member of the Spice Girls.

[all exclaiming]

- Old Spice.
[record scratches]

- Old Spice?
[all laughing]

- I'm Country Spice,
it's nice to meet you.

[all laughing]

- Country Spice, I love that.

Where are you from?

- Oh, I'm from Sparta, Georgia,

but I live in Atlanta.

- I love that accent,

it's just really getting my
nipples hard.

[all exclaiming]

- We can like, find us a room,

and just talk to each other all
day.

[all laughing]

[hard rock music]

- Okay.

- You Betty be ready! [laughing]

Woo!

I'm Daya Betty, and I am your
mid-Missouri

grunge punk rock girl.

- It's kinda giving me
Pikachu a little bit.

- Oh my god.
[laughing]

- My drag is really inspired

by the 80s grunge movement,
early 90s.

Daya's a rock star,

and she's the rock star's
girlfriend,

shoved together with a
safety pin shoved through it.

[all cheering]

- What is your name?
- I'm Daya Betty.

- Daya Betty, you're beautiful!

- Oh my gosh, Maddy?

- Daya.
- Oh my gosh, how are you?

- Good!

- Maddy Morphosis, my Midwest
sister.

I've kind of hung out with
her just a couple times.

I've seen her at the club.

There is a lot that she has to
show us.

A lot.

Are you Jorgeous?
- Yes ma'am!

- Oh my god, my boyfriend
is obsessed with you.

- Oh my god, I'm a mess.

I promise.
- I'm pretty sure

that you're his favorite drag
queen.

- So nice to meet you, mama.
[all laughing]

- Daya Betty is giving me
somebody else.

But I cannot figure out for the
life of me

who she is giving.

- I have a feeling you're
related

to someone who's been
on here before, right?

- I am, yes.

Crystal Methyd.
♪ Feel the beat of the rhythm ♪

♪ Of the night ♪
- Ding, there it is.

Crystal Methyd.

- We don't say "Drag
Mom" because it ages her.

But we're all kind of a
little edgy, a little punk.

Everything we do crafty,
a little handmade.

- [RuPaul] Ooh, girl!
[siren wailing]

She done already done had
herses.

[all wailing]
[exciting music]

- Oh my god it's happening!

- Hold on, I'm coming!

- Oh my gosh!
- Oh my god!

- Welcome, queens.
[upbeat dance music]

[all cheering]

The Werk Room has already been
entered.

But it's not about when you
start,

it's about how long you last.

So put some motion in your
ocean,

and let's get it on!

[all cheering, clapping]

Hello hello hello!
[all cheering]

Hi!
[queens exclaiming]

- RuPaul walks into the door,

and I swear to god, she is just
glowing.

My mom always said it's
not polite to stare,

but I can't help it.

- Welcome to the second premiere

of RuPaul's Drag Race,
officially.

[all cheering]

- Yes, mother!

- First, I want to thank your
mamas,

your drag mamas, the bullies at
school,

and everybody who helped make
you

the strong queen you are today.

[all cheering]

'Cause you gonna need all
that strength and more

as you compete in the biggest,

baddest drag competition on the
planet.

[all cheering]

- Yes!

- Now last week, we got to
know seven of your competitors.

And I asked one of them to
sashay away.

[dramatic music]

- She tells us that a
queen has already gone.

There's a bit of a twist.

- And by the end of tomorrow,

I'll be asking one of you
to sashay away as well.

- The reality is someone's
already gone.

This shit is serious.

Like, we're getting right
into the competition.

I'm just like, please let
me get out of this alive.

[suspenseful music]

- So I hope y'all hungry to win.

'Cause your country
breakfast is ready, girl.

[RuPaul laughing]

Let's go.

[upbeat music]

Deja Skye, hello darling.

- Hi!

- Say hello to celebrity
photographer, Albert Sanchez.

- Hi.

- Now, the goal of this
competition

is to make it all the way
through

to the Tic Tac lunch.

- Yes.

- So for your very first mini
challenge,

I want you to pose with
this bowl of Tic Tacs.

Can you do that?

- I absolutely can.

- Good, make a purdy picture.
[upbeat electronic music]

- Ooh, Tic Tac.

Ooh, oh.

- Wait a minute.
[shady music]

I don't know what it is, but
DeJa,

something's off with the
whole...

[dramatic music]

- I'm freaked out 'cause
I'm like, what did I do?

Is it a bad angle?

What's going on?

- This is really not
what I asked for, Albert.

I thought we talked about
an abundance of Tic Tacs.

I mean, we had that
conversation.

You call this an abundance of
Tic Tacs?

I want an abundance of Tic Tacs!

Why do I have to do
everything around here?

Why I [mumbles incoherently]
[dramatic music]

Why?!

- Oh my god, it's everywhere.

- I need you to move that bitch

of a bearing wall,

and put a giant bowl of Tic Tacs

where a giant bowl of
Tic Tacs ought to be.

Move it!
[suspenseful music]

[laughing]
[upbeat music]

- She moves the wall, oh,

and all I see is this bowl of a
thousand,

million bazillion Tic Tacs.

And right next to it, The Pit
Crew.

Oh!

- Now that's an abundance of Tic
Tacs.

DeJa.

Let's go.

[upbeat dance music]

Alright now DeJa Skye,

you need to serve face
and pose the house down.

Ooh, yes!
- Oh.

- I like the way you think.

[upbeat music]

Ooh, I'm getting quite the DeJa
view.

- Let me go this way.

- Oh, yeah.

Luxuriate, yes.
[camera clicking]

- I'm just rolling like
rotisserie chicken.

[RuPaul laughs]

There's no way to feel
sexy in this moment.

- Just keep in mind the shadow.

You want to work the light.

- Got it.

[RuPaul laughs]

Was that good?

- [RuPaul] What's your sleep
number, DeJa?

Angeria.

- Okay, am I getting in?

- [RuPaul] Yes!

- I'm getting in, but no heels.

Oh, there I go.

[upbeat music]
[RuPaul giggles]

- [RuPaul] Oh, what are
people at church gonna say?

Yes, Miss Black Atlanta!

- Ooh, wait a minute.

[RuPaul laughs]

It's Tic Tacs in my hair,

Tic Tacs in my titties,

Tic Tacs in my mm-hmm-hmm.

- Welcome to Angeria.

The land of orange diamonds.

This ain't Wakanda, this is
Angeria!

Looking good and feeling
Jorgeous.

- Yes, ma'am, mama!

- Now since this is a Tic Tac
breakfast,

I'm gonna ask you some
questions.

You respond with your face
and body language only.

- Okay.

- What's your favorite
Britney Spears song?

"Oops!...I Did It Again."

How does the Pit Crew make you
feel

in between me down there?

- Oh.

[RuPaul laughs]
[spicy music]

- Gracias!

Oh Jasmine Kennedie.

Ooh, fling that hair, yes!

Look at those cheek bones.

You could cut somebody with
those things.

Answer with your pose, okay?

Who's your favorite movie star?

Charlize Theron?

Milton Berle?

You must have gone to the
Barbazon School of Modeling.

Maddy Morphosis.

Yes!
[upbeat music]

Tic Tacs are a girl's best
friend.

These Tic Tacs have
always brought me luck.

Nice.

- I think I found something.

[mysterious music]

- You, what is it you've-

That is Santino's hat!

He has been texting me
for years about that hat!

It's been in the bowl of
Tic Tacs the whole time!

- What?

- Ooh yes.

Model.

Daya Betty.
[upbeat dance music]

Ooh.

Show me shy p*ssy.

Shyer.

Oh.

Now show me not so shy p*ssy.

[RuPaul chuckles]

- At this point,

I just know I look like a
newborn horse.

I don't know what I'm
serving, to be honest.

- [RuPaul] Ooh!

That's some bridge and tunnel
p*ssy.

Oh my goodness, Lady Camden.

Do you know where those
Tic Tacs have been?

- I've got a sweet tooth,
darling.

[wailing]
[Tic Tacs pouring]

- [RuPaul] It's Tic Tac ecstasy!

- Oh yeah, Tic Tac paddy whack,

give a bitch a bone!

Oh yes!
[RuPaul cackling]

- [RuPaul] Alright
darling, I think we got it.

- Thanks, guys.

- Whoa, the mother load!

[RuPaul cackling]
[Tic Tacs spilling]

My queens.
[queens cheering]

In the Tic Tac photo sh**t,

one of you left my mouth
feeling minty fresh.

- [All] Ooh!

- Which is kind of odd,

because the Tic Tacs are orange
flavored.

[all laughing]

The winner of today's mini
challenge is

[drum roll]

Angeria!
[all cheering]

- Oh my god!

It was very important to me

to make a really good
first impression on Ru.

So, pats on the back for Angie.

- [RuPaul] You've won $2500
courtesy of JJ Malibu.

[all cheering]

- Yes, girl!

- Now, my fair lady-kins.

For your very first maxi
challenge,

I'm putting you in the Charisma,

Nerve, and Talent Show.

Where the only thing that's
missing is U.

[all laughing]

This is your chance to show the
world

you are the queen to beat.

- Alright!
[shady music]

- Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win.

[all cheering, clapping]

- Baby, I am so excited.

We get the chance to
show why we were cast,

and bitch!

I'm ready to kick, split,

and let these judges eat it!

[upbeat music]

- Let me move in, so I
can get out of this shit.

- It is time to de-drag,

and honey, I want to see what
mens

live up under this drag.

- [Jorgeous] I wanna see
who's the trade of the season.

- Oh, you're the trade of
the season, Miss Thing.

- I found two more Tic Tacs.

- Tic Tacs everywhere.

- Tic Tacs still falling out, oh
yeah.

Oh!
[upbeat music]

- I look over at Angeria,

and I'm like, girl,

she's way like cuter and
quirkier

than I pictured her.

[laughing]

- Oh my gosh.

- I was not expecting DeJa to
look like that out of drag.

Honestly, she looks like one of
my tios.

[laughing]

- Uncle Fester's here,
everybody.

- Hi Uncle Fester!
[laughing]

[upbeat music]

- Hello.
- Look at you!

Who is this?

How you doing?

- I'm just passing through,
don't worry.

Don't pay me no nevermind.

- Maddy is looking like a
farmer.

[laughing]
[hillbilly banjo music]

Looks like she owns cattle and
bulls and goats and things.

[laughing]

Y'all look so different.

You never know how much makeup
you have on

until you get out of it.
[laughing]

- Where's Jasmine?
- What?

- Look at my titties.
- I wanna see your titties!

- Oh my god!

- Are yours C or B?

- I've just never touched
real boobies before.

- Are you a gold star, Camden?

- Yeah.

- Who's a gold star?

Are you a gold star gay?

- I don't know, I might be.

I'm not sure what it is.
- Do you know what it is?

A gold star is somebody

that hasn't had sex with the
opposite sex.

- Never slept with a woman.

- Oh, I can't be a gold star.

[laughing]

I wasn't always this gay.
- We're not gold stars.

- Okay, Maddy's not a gold star,
either.

- I'm not a gold- [laughing]

- Yeah.

I know that Maddy identifies
as a straight male.

I don't think this is
anything that's happened

on Drag Race history before,

and when she does bring it up,

these girls are gonna be shook.

[door opens]
[majestic music]

- Hey queens!
[all cheering]

I see you've all moved in.

- [All] Yes!

- Now I've come to collect the
rent.

- Oh shit!
[laughing]

- Angeria Paris VanMichaels.

That's a bougie name, girl.
- Is it?

- You know it is.

- It ain't bougie at all.

[laughing]

- [RuPaul] Where does that name
come from?

- It came from a girl
I went to college with.

She was real pretty.
- Uh huh.

- And I was like, I want your
name.

But her name was Angera.

- Angera.
- Yeah.

- And you changed it to Angeria.

- 'Cause in the South,

when you want the name
to sound more special,

you add a I in front of the A.

[RuPaul laughing]

- So, now what's your talent?

- I am doing original track.

- Original track?
- Yes.

- Will my ears bleed?

- No, I don't think so.

- Do you know how to sing?
- Yes.

- Because you grew up in the
church.

- I grew up in the church,
and I sung in the choir.

[laughing]

- Being from the Midwest,

we do have a lot of pageant
girls,

and so those are the
girls that intimidate me.

The girls that are really put
together.

- So I'm gonna let you go,

but I could talk to you all day.

[both laughing]

- And Ru just laughs at
everything Angeria says.

So keeping an eye on her.

- Alright Daya Betty, come on
over.

- Hi Ru.
- Hi, honey.

I wanted to ask you
how'd you get that name?

- 'Cause I'm diabetic.

Type one, not type two.

- How does that affect
you in your daily life?

- So, if I do any, like, crazy
activities,

like I'll be doing here,

I'll just have to check
my blood sugar more.

- And if it's too low, will you
pass out?

- I will do a unwanted death
drop.

- Well, we'll be on the lookout.

- Yes.
- So, what's your talent?

- I'm gonna be doing a lip sync,

with a little-
- Wait a minute.

A lip sync?
- I know, revolutionary.

- On a drag show?

- I know, crazy, right?
- It's crazy.

Is it to your own song?

- No, it's to Pink's
"Get The Party Started."

- Okay, well what do you
think you lip syncing Pink

will let us know about you?

- That song in particular,

it's just about having fun,
and you know, doing you.

- Yeah, but what does
it say about Daya Betty?

- It says that she's a
little edgy, you know,

but she also knows she knows
she can turn the party.

- Yeah, no, I'm just saying
that the judges will ask that.

This is the first time we get to
know you.

How does that inform us who you
are?

But you know, we'll see.

- Ru doesn't really seem too
impressed

that my talent's lip syncing.

- Alright.

- So it's gotta be the best
lip sync Ru's ever seen,

or I'm gonna be in trouble.

- Alright, Lady Camden.
[upbeat music]

- Hello.

- Now, I can tell you're a
dancer.

How old were you when you
started dancing?

- I was always dancing in my
bedroom to the Spice Girls

as a little gay boy.
- Yes.

- But I started doing ballet
classes and stuff at like 12.

- So what's your talent?

Is it going to be dance?

- It is going to be dance.

- Uh huh.
- I'm gonna bring a mix

of classical ballet with
some more of the dancing

that I've evolved into now.

- Huh, you know what?

I've gone to the ballet
maybe once or twice.

And remember I didn't enjoy it.

Because it was just boring.

You know, to me.

- Oh god.

I don't want Ru to fall
asleep during my number.

Have I picked the wrong
thing to do for him?

- Listen, we're looking for
elevated.

Give it the old Lady Camden
twist.

- Okay, I will.

- Alright, thank you darling.
- Thank you, Ru.

- Alright DeJa Skye, come on
over.

- Hi Ru.
- Hi DeJa.

I am so happy you're here.

You know, because your
audition reel was one

that I really, really enjoyed.

- Really?
- Because you know,

you're an old, you're an old...

- She called me old.

- No, now, no, you didn't
let me finish the sentence.

You're an old school
queen that I really enjoy.

So now what's your talent?

- So I'm gonna teach you
how to be a cheerleader

in three easy steps.

- Okay, what does a cheerleading
routine tell us about you?

- It's kinda my sense of humor.

And it also is very much my
background.

Besides a drag queen,

I'm actually a choreographer
for cheer and dance.

- Wow, I'm actually
looking forward to that.

- I think DeJa is gonna be my
competition

because I'm also a cheerleader,

and I want to see how she
makes it a comedic relief.

- Thank you.

- Where I'm incorporating
back handsprings, round kicks.

Like who doesn't love to see a
girl

do a back handspring into a
split?

- Maddy Morphosis.

- Hi Ru.

- Now, I don't hear a southern
accent.

- No, I'm from Arkansas,

but I try to not be as
Arkansas as humanly possible.

- What is your talent?

- I'm gonna play guitar.

- Live music?

- Yes.
- Very risky!

You know, here, it's gotta
be something special.

You know, if you do a straight,

I'm doing something that is
just everyday normal thing,

it's gotta have kind of a
twisted edge where we go,

oh my goodness.

Just make it special.

Now, you have made history

being our first straight
contestant.

[ominous music]

- Wait, what?

- Right.

- Whoa, Maddy is straight?

- Now, are you afraid
that when you leave here,

you won't be straight?

- No.
[laughing]

- What?

- A straight drag queen.

Wow, that's, that's something
new.

[laughing]

- So, how did you get into drag?

- I grew up watching "To
Wong Foo" with my grandma,

and that kind of put the bug in
my head,

and I developed an interest in
fashion and makeup and stuff,

but that's not something you can
express

when you grow up in
population 1200 Lincoln.

- Right.
- And so like,

when I got out of high school,

I moved to a slightly bigger
city

where it just happened to have
drag shows.

And I just did it.
- And you had the cheekbones.

- And I had the cheekbones.

- I'm so impressed with you.

- Thank you.
- Because you are someone

who says you know what?

That interests me, I'm gonna get
into it.

And you're gonna go very far in
this life.

- Thank you.
- Let's hope you go

very far in this competition.

- To have Ru tell me that

makes me feel a lot more
validated.

It just feels almost like,

a weight off my shoulders.

I think this is like a community
of people

that is built around love and
acceptance.

- Alright thank you.
- Thank you, Ru.

But I just have this little
nervous thing of, you know,

what if there's one person
that's not down with it,

that's not okay with it.

There have been a couple
negative opinions here and
there,

and I'm really worried
that a negative opinion

might be in this room.

- Alright, gather 'round,
queens.

Now tomorrow, joining us
will be our extra special

guest judge,

the amazing Alicia Keys.

[all screaming in excitement]

- [laughing] Alicia Keys!

I love Alicia Keys.

- Oh, and last but not
least, a friendly reminder,

that by the end of tomorrow,

I'll be asking one of you to
sashay away.

So whatever you do, don't f*ck
it up.

[upbeat dance music]

[all laughing]

- Oh my god, we did it.

- Today is the day we're
performing our talent

in front of the judges,

and I'm trying so hard
to just stay focused,

but it's hard not to get really
nervous

because RuPaul's gonna
be there looking at me

with her eyeballs.

Like, what?

[upbeat music]

- How long does it usually take
everyone

to do their makeup?

- I can do it in like


- I'm normally like a three
hour-

- Three hours?

- But I can do it for like,
an hour and a half or so.

- Because I've been doing
this for so many years,

I've seen plenty of queens.

I'm just gagged that Maddy is
straight.

I don't know any straight drag
queens.

It's crazy to me that
you identify as straight.

- Oh god, here we go.

I do, yes.

I mean, honestly like,

it's not something that I lead
with,

because it's something I don't
want

other people to like, base their
opinion

around my sexuality first.

Might be a fun fact,

but I don't want it to be what
everyone

thinks of.
- Defines you.

- I've never met a
straight drag queen before!

To be a fully fledged drag
queen and be straight is like,

crazy to me.

It kinda makes me have
mad respect for her.

Maddy respect for her.
[bell dings]

Because you've gotta be really
comfortable

with your heterosexuality

to be able to tuck all that shit
back,

put on a wig,

and gack gitty gack.

Like, that's like, good
for you, babes, you know?

- I have never met another
straight drag queen before.

And I think a big part of
it is just 'cause like,

guys are like, so worried about

expressing femininity,

or being seen-
- It's toxic masculinity.

- Yeah, or even like,

being scared of people
thinking that they're gay.

Growing up in Arkansas,
whenever I was younger,

I thought it was illegal to be
gay.

I didn't even know.

I didn't know a single gay
person.

- Yeah.
- But then seeing people

moving to a bigger city,

and seeing people just
living their authentic lives

and just like not worrying
about what people think of them.

And it just made me realize
that I can live my own life

like that too, and just, you
know,

we only have one life to live.
- One life to live.

You better live it
authentically.

- I think it's sickening that
Maddy is a heterosexual man

from a small town in the South,

and wants to be a sickening
drag queen all at the same time.

I mean, hey, nobody ever
said it couldn't be done.

[upbeat music]

- How's everyone feeling

knowing we're gonna get
to walk down the runway

for the first time?
- I know!

- Hopefully nobody trips.
[laughing]

- [Alicia] Hey queens.

- What?
- Huh?

[suspenseful music]

[all screaming]

- Guys, it's Alicia!

- Oh my god!
- Hi!

[all cheering]

- Is that...no.

No.
[all laughing]

- Woo!

When you talk about
dreams coming true, child,

like, it is literally a dream
for me

to meet Alicia Keys.

- Hi!
- [All] hi!

- I just wanted you to know

that I'm so excited,

and I'm so proud of you.

And I can't believe we're
together!

[all cheering]

And we're gonna show them what
it is!

- [All] Yes!

- The reason why you inspire me

is because I feel like
we should not hold back.

We should be able to be as bold

and as brave and as big

and as powerful as we want to
be.

So don't let anybody hold you
back.

This is your time,

this is your moment,

and you are going to show
everyone

just how special and amazing you
are.

So go smash the whole situation!

[all cheering, clapping]

- Love you!
[smooching]

[all cheering]

- After talking to Alicia Keys,

I feel good, but I am nervous,

because I know that someone is
going home,

and baby, there's only seven of
us.

So I just want to make sure that
my talent

stands out enough to
keep me in the number.

'Cause baby, listen,

I didn't come here to
be the first girl out.

I'm cheer captain, DeJa,

and I'm here to show you

how anyone can be a cheerleader

in three easy steps.

Step number one what we're
gonna do is hands on hips,

and smiles on those lips.

I want you to smile as big as
when

they restock the buffet.

Step number two is a jump.

Now, if you're like me,

gravity is not my friend.

Just get off the ground
as much as you can.

Let's go.

- Woo!
- Okay, thank you.

- Eh?

I don't know, girl.

She's doing something.

- Now the third and final step

is a geriatric cartwheel.

If you have bad knees, stay
close to the ground, okay?

Hands up and hopefully you get
around.

[laughing]
[DeJa grunting]

- Hey!

- You ready to put it all
together?

- Yeah!
- Hit it!

Up first, Jorgeous.

Purple train, purple train.

[judges laugh]

- [Michelle] Take that, Sheila

- [Jorgeous] I'm wearing
this gorgeous gown,

with my hair slicked back.

And bam.
- Hey, hey!

- I'm a showgirl, bitch.

So I always have to be
ready to do a number.

- [Carson] Clearly, she's
stoned.

- [RuPaul] Yes!
[laughing]

Come on, cat suit

DeJa Skye.

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

[judges chuckle]

- [DeJa] This look
represents me to the fullest

because I am showing
every swerve and curve

of this big billowy body.

I look at Alicia and she just
goes-

- Yes!

- [Carson] It's curtains for
her.

[judges laugh]

- [Michelle] They call her
Sleevey Wonder.

- [RuPaul] Jasmine Kennedie.

Listen hon, you're gonna
put somebody's eyes out

with those things.

- [Jasmine] I decided to
go with something gold,

and I have my titties out.

I have a little applique to show
them

that I do what, drag.

- [Michelle] Gorge Washington.

[judges laugh]

I'll do it better.

Gorge W. Bush.

[RuPaul cackling]

- [RuPaul] Maddy Morphosis.

What!
- Oh my god!

- [Carson] I really like

the neckline on this.

- [RuPaul] Yeah, it's really
good.

- [Maddy] I am giving a
signature

Maddy Morphosis look, from neck
to toe,

in this beautiful Marie
Antoinette number.

I'm like tossing my
head around like a prop.

- What!
[Michelle laughing]

- It's campy, it's stupid,

but it's also beautiful.

- [RuPaul] Ladies and
gentlemen, Guillotina Turner.

[Michelle laughs]

- [Alicia] Chin up, sweetie!

[judges laugh]

- [RuPaul] I'm coming down

with a case of Angeria Paris
VanMichaels.

Come on, Sparta, Georgia.

- This is my first time,

and I'm feeling fine like wine.

My dress is wine.

When you think of Angeria,

I want you to think of pure
pageant glamor

from my head to my toes, bitch.

- Yes!

Burgundy-licious.

- [Michelle] Time to
get the party Sparted.

[RuPaul giggles]

Okay that was a stretch.

- That was rotten.

Lady Camden.

- [Carson] Oh my god,

she just peacock blocked me.

[RuPaul chuckles]

- [Lady Camden] My look is
inspired

by Camdentown raver girls back
in the 90s.

I love to be bold with my drag,

and always something that is
a little bit of a surprise.

- Hey pa!

- I'm here to let you know

I'm about to take flight,

even though I don't know
if peacocks actually fly.

They do fly!

So I'm here to fly, okay great.

- [Michelle] What's her mating
call?

- [RuPaul] I don't know.

[Michelle squawks]

[judges laughing]

Daya Betty.

- Yes.

- [RuPaul] I'm sorry.

Daya Betty can't come
to the phone right now,

she's all tied up.

- [Daya] I'm hobbling down
the runway in my hobble dress.

The fact that the entire outfit

is held to my body by ribbons

is so dainty and scary at the
same time.

I feel like I am serving it.

- [Carson] It's ribbon, for your
pleasure.

- [RuPaul] Oh, thank you for
considering.

- [Alicia] There's a ribbon
in the sky for her drag.

- Welcome, queens.
[suspenseful music]

It's time for the judges'
critiques.

Up first, Jorgeous.

- I just have to say, just
Jorgeous!

- Oh thank you.

- I love the stones on the mesh.

I love all those different
amethyst tones.

The makeup is like air brushed.

[bell dings]
[RuPaul laughs]

- What I loved about you is your
energy.

I do think the song choice,

it was a lot of standing
and just doing this

before we got into it.

For you, I think your plan of
attack

should always be right out the
gate.

- As a performer, I
felt confidence from you

that just did not quit.

I just love and I live.

- Is that a number you
perform in your nightclub act?

- Oh yes, I legit,

ever since that song came out,

legit, ever since I was 16,

I've been performing it ever
since.

- Every time you mention
how young you are,

I'm gonna take marks off.

- Oh my god, no!

No, please!
- Legit.

[all laughing]

- Up next, DeJa Skye.

- This number on the runway,

I love the color.

Cerulean.

Oh my gosh, I didn't even
realize.

I'm wearing it too!
[all laughing]

Job well done on the runway
look.

- Thank you.

- Your routine was brave,

because you wanted to
do something different.

We saw a lot of lip syncing
tonight,

and you stood out.

I'm not sure if it was
for all the right reasons.

Because it really wasn't funny.

- We're doing a drag show.

You know, just don't
give it to me straight.

Give it to me a little bit from
the side,

a little bit from behind.

Well, a whole lot from behind.

- A lot.
[laughing]

- And then hit me over the head
with it.

Up next, Jasmine Kennedie.

- The dance number, you were
doing like,

ice skating maneuvers.

Like a triple sow cow, or a
half Charles Nelson Reilly.

You were in the air,
spinning around and like,

this bitch doesn't even have
skates on.

How did you make that happen?
[all laughing]

That was beautiful.

- You're a pageant girl.
- Yes.

- I have two words for you, the
queen.

You're giving us 60s drag.

And I love it.

- This look is like
body-ody-ody!

I was like, my god, what is
happening?

- Sorry, I'm just focused
on your two tig old bitties.

[all laughing]

You look like Edie Williams

from Beyond the Valley of the
Dolls,

and Alyssa Edwards had a baby.

- Yeah.
- And here she is.

I love it.

- Thank you so much.

- Up next, Maddy Morphosis.

- Hi.

- This is something I've never
seen

on the main stage before.

It's so stupid.
[judges laughing]

Even though it's a costume,

it's full on crazy drag.

Like, I love this.

I can see that you need
some help with your makeup.

Just little tweaks here and
there

is gonna help you go a long way.

- But this is really fun.

You should really hold your head
high.

[all laughing]

Or right there at your waist.

[laughing]

- I was so happy to
hear you play the Blues.

I was like, ooh, got some taste
and some vibe and some zone.

- Did you play the electric
guitar with your tongue?

- I did, yeah.

- That was like a bonus talent.

But I wasn't really
sure what was happening.

So I would say work the
camera, work your audience.

Invite us in.

- You gotta have more of
an angle in a drag show.

Had you played the guitar with
your penis,

then we'd be talking a different
story.

- No, no!
- Oh, I'm hearing in,

oh, we've been canceled.

Okay, is my Uber here?

[all laughing]

Next up, Angeria.

- This runway look,

you're giving us Atlanta
G-A-Y pageant perfection.

- I love this dress.

It is so Miss Dominique
Devereux.

- Yes.
- Thank you.

- Call me Angie?

Call me an ambulance.

I almost slipped a disc just
watching it.

At the end when you did
that perfect death drop.

- I was like, oh my god, I love
this!

It was so good.

Sometimes very tricky
to do original songs,

but that was a good one right
there.

You did that.

- I don't mean to get
emotional or nothing,

but the female vocalist that's
always lived inside of me

has always been inspired by you.

Always, always.
- Oh my god, I love it.

- So this just feels amazing.

- Up next, Lady Camden.

- You came out and you
said, "I'm a ballerina,

but I'm gonna toss my ballet
shoes away.

I'm gonna do ballet the drag
way."

That was fabulous.

- This look tonight is adorable.

I love the tail.

- I definitely can see
all of your personality.

Nothing else looks like how you
look.

It is like a favorite Pokemon
character.

So I think that we're in
for like a really good time

when we're hanging with you.

- Thank you so much, Alicia.
- Absolutely, well done.

- Up next, Daya Betty.

- This look has a very, like,

English punk kind of vibe.

We did notice that the back,
it's poppin',

but it's for the wrong reasons.

It's ripped.

- I'm taking a guess here

that you are in the Crystal
Methyd family.

- Oh yes, I am.
- Because I can see it

in your face.
- Woo!

- You were another lip sync.

It was pretty kind of
lackluster.

We lip sync for your life here
every week.

You'll have to do something

that's gonna make us gag.

- You did a good job,

but I didn't get enough of
your personality from it.

I still don't quite know who you
are.

And that's really the
purpose of the talent show.

Thank you, ladies.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck in the Werk
Room,

the judges and I will
deliberate.

[engine revs]

Alright now just between
us squirrel friends,

what do you think?

Let's start with Jorgeous.

- I think this one is gonna
sway us with her personality.

She feels every bit of herself
in drag.

Everything she does has a
flourish.

Everything has a, uh huh, I am
fab.

[RuPaul laughs]

- Maybe her lip singing could
have

been a little bit tighter,

but I think she's a fearless
performer.

I really like her.

- [RuPaul] DeJa Skye.

- I was very excited
when I saw her walk out,

and you know, giving us a cheer
routine.

I love "Bring It On."
[laughing]

But brr, it's cold in here.

There are no jokes in this
atmosphere.

- Tonight's performance did not
land.

[DeJa grunts]

Jasmine Kennedie.

- Jasmine is phenomenal.

And I get a sense of hunger from
her.

- Jasmine Kennedie is a fire
cr*cker.

Man, that performance.

She was bouncing off the walls.

- And tonight on the runway,

she's 22 years old.

This is a child.

To have a reference like that,

she's done her homework.

- [RuPaul] Maddy Morphosis and
her guitar.

- I appreciate the live guitar
playing.

That was pretty amazing to see.

But the fact that Maddy was
playing the guitar at the end

with her tongue,

and then didn't go to the side
to show us,

it didn't really happen then,
did it?

- And when you have an outfit
that looks like, you know,

Saint John's for H and R Block.

[judges laughing]

But I don't want to chop her
head off.

- She already did.
[RuPaul laughing]

I loved Maddy's runway.

I'm always one to say it's
costumey, but it worked!

- [RuPaul] Angeria.

- Angeria is one of my
favorites, for sure.

There's a spirit there that
I really can connect to.

There's the polish that
feels very exciting.

- Call me Angie, check.

[laughing]

Stunning, check, check, check.

Whatever it was, we were here
for it.

- [RuPaul] Lady Camden.

- Well Lady Camden did what I
think

we wanted Maddy Morphosis to do.

Take this skillset, and then
make it drag.

- Lady Camden probably had the
most

technically difficult
performance of the night.

Not only was she doing ballet,

she was doing it in stilettos,

and that is one of the
most difficult things.

- And I loved the runway.

I thought she looked like, you
know,

nobody else, totally individual.

- I like Lady Camden.

I'm excited to see more from
her.

Daya Betty.

- She looked really cool,

and her energy was good.

But I thought it was really
basic.

- What I was getting was Crystal
Methyd.

So it felt like a Xerox
copy of a Xerox copy.

- But there's all this
room for her to grow,

so she could be that
underdog that comes out

and just shows everybody.

So we'll see where it goes.

- Silence.
[claps twice]

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

[engine revs]
[suspenseful music]

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

[dramatic music]

Lady Camden.

Jorgeous.

You're safe.

- Thank you so much.

- Angeria.

Polish, check.

Glam, check.

Talent, check.

Con-drag-ulations.

You're the winner of
this week's challenge.

[all cheering, clapping]

You've won a cashier's check

of $5000.
[all cheering]

- Oh!

Winner winner, chicken dinner.
[laughing]

- Jasmine Kennedie.

You're safe.

- Thank you.

[suspenseful music]

- Maddy Morphosis.

We were head over heels
for your runway look,

while your guitar made us gently
weep.

DeJa Skye.

We were cheering for you,

but your jokes just didn't land.

Daya Betty,

you're a lovely queen,

but you didn't get this party
started.

[dramatic music]

Maddy Morphosis,

you're safe.

You may join the other girls.

- Thank you.

- DeJa, Daya.

I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

- My confidence right now is
just shaken.

But when it comes down to it,

I'm gonna fight tooth
and nail to stay here.

Bring it on.

- Two queens stand before me.

Prior to tonight,

you were asked to prepare
a lip sync performance

of "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys.

Ladies, this is your last
chance to impress me,

and save yourself from
elimination.

[suspenseful music]

The time has come

[thunder rumbling]

for you to lip sync

for your life!

[suspenseful music]

- I just walked in the doors,

and now I'm gonna have to lip
sync

to an Alicia Keys song,

in front of Alicia Keys.

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

[dramatic music]

DeJa Skye, shante you stay.

[dramatic music]

Apparently there is a lip
sync assassin among us.

- Thank you so much.

- You may join the other girls.

Daya Betty.

It might not feel like it right
now,

but this is just the beginning

of the rest of your life.

Now, sashay away.

- I might not have gotten
as far as I'd liked,

but I had a great time,

and made some amazing sisters.

And I really appreciate
each and every one of you.

So thank you, thank you.

- Woo!
[all clapping]

- Well, shit.
[all laughing]

[dramatic music]

I'm definitely disappointed in
myself.

I know I have so much
f*cking more to offer,

but life is gonna kick you down


but you gotta get up 100 and
keep going.

[dramatic music]

- Con-drag-ulations, ladies.

Enjoy this moment,

because six competitors
will join you next week,

ready to snatch the crown.

And remember, if you can't love
yourself,

how in the hell are you
gonna love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

- [All] Amen!

[all cheering]

- I loved it.

- I was enthralled.

- This is a competition.

Just when you think you
know how the game is played.

- Wait.
