05x11 - Sugar Ball

[bunniefuu]

- Previously

on RuPaul's Drag Race...

you get to enlist these men

into your drag house.

- Oh, sh*t.

I've never done anyone else's

makeup.

- You are going to be with

Roxxxy Andrews.

- I think it was sabotage.

It pissed me off.

[drum line playing]

♪ ♪

- You made a gown for yourself,

and you gave your sister

the scraps that were kind of

left over.

- It seems like every week

I'm letting you down,

letting you down,

letting you down.

- Roxxxy Andrews, you are the

winner of this week's challenge.

[cheers and applause]

Detox, shantay, you stay.

- [crying] Thank you.

- Coco Montrese, sashay away.

- Thank you.

- Top four, b*tches!

- Final four!

[all cheering]

- We're back in the werk room.

And after four lip syncs,

Coco is finally gone.

all: "I love you all.

Give them hell, girls."

- I plan on it.

- We love you, coquito.

- I think that her purpose here

was to get that whole Alyssa

and her thing accomplished and,

like, out of the way.

And I think that after she got

that, she was kind of just like,

"That's what I needed."

Coco Montrese was here because

she needed closure with Alyssa.

And you know what?

I'm here to be America's next

drag superstar.

- How about you, Miss Winner?

- Congratulations.

- I won a challenge, yay!

Day one, we walked in here as

Rolaskatox.

And, girl, here we stand with

little Jinkx.

No offense, Jinkx.

- Jinkx...it's like "Rolaskatox!

And Jinkx."

- Rolaskatox and Jinkx.

This is my worst nightmare

come true.

If one of them is given

the opportunity

to sell someone down the river,

they're gonna choose me.

- I have to go plot against

you guys.

- I need to go burn

Jinkx's costumes

from the '40s and

the '50s and the '30s.

- If we're doing a sewing

challenge, Jinkx is gonna be

left out with the tumbleweeds,

bitch.

She needs to go home.

[upbeat music]

- Whoo-hoo!

- Oh!

- It's so empty.

- It's the top four.

We're a millimeter away from

being the top three.

And if I have to inch my way to

the top three, I'll do that.

And I deserve it.

It's so crazy

that it's almost over.

- It's just us.

- It's just getting down

to the nitty-gritty, honey.

- You two are gonna have

a lip sync this week.

I've had it with you guys

not lip-syncing at all.

- How are you supposed to be

America's next drag superstar

if they've never even seen you

perform?

- I would prefer to go to

the top without ever doing it,

like, Tyra Sanchez style.

[alarm blares]

- Ooh, girl!

- Saved by the bell.

- You've got shemail.

Hey, kit kats.

Don't snicker.

Sometimes you feel like a nut.

And sometimes you feel like

a $100,000 bar-none.

Use your whatchamacallit.

Kisses.

[giggles]

Hello, hello, hello.

all: Hi.

- You know, every now and then,

a drag queen needs to get things

off her chesticles.

So for today's mini challenge,

we're gonna have a good

old-fashioned bitch-fest.

And we're gonna do it with

puppets.

- Oh!

- [laughs]

- Why?

all: Everybody loves puppets!

- First, pick a puppet

that represents one of your

competitors.

Second, drag it up.

Third, you and the puppet have

a bitch-fest.

- [giggles]

- Detox, you're up first.

I want you to reach deep inside,

and I don't mean the pit crew's

Andrew Christian underwear.

- Oh, man.

Ooh, it's so squishy.

Alaska!

- Next up, Alaska.

- Isn't this a little high?

- Oh, my goodness.

It's like A Fist called Wanda.

- [laughs]

- [gasps]

Roxxxy!

- Jinkx Monsoon.

- Feed that hole, girl.

Who'd you get?

- Aw, DD.

- Next up, Roxxxy.

The suspense is k*lling me.

- I got Chucky.

[laughter]

It'll be so easy.

- All right, ladies.

On your mark, get set, go!

[dubstep music]

- I find the rattiest, dirtiest

blonde wig I can find,

then spray-adhesiving it

and rubbing it together,

making it matty and gross.

- I hate you, Detox.

- [chuckles]

- This is my opportunity to

make fun of Jinkx Monsoon.

I am painting the Nike check

cheek in black,

'cause that's

how she likes to contour.

♪ ♪

- All right, ladies.

Time's up.

Let the bitch-fest begin.

- Detox, it's time to come out.

[as Detox] I've had it.

[normal voice] Detox, come out.

[as Detox] f*ck.

[laughter]

[as Detox] You ever been blown

by a girl with silicon lips?

I call it a slip 'n slide.

I mean, I just want to put my

mouth on it and go like this:

[babbling]

Meh!

[laughter]

- I don't know where she picked

up that slip 'n slide joke.

I've never said that.

I always call my mouth "my Black

& Decker pecker wreckers."

- [as Detox] I've had it.

I've had it. I've had it.

- [laughs]

- [as Alaska]

Detox, I'm so upset.

[normal voice] Why, Alaska?

You look so gorgeous.

[as Alaska] But I don't have

any nice shoes!

Sharon got all the money, and I

can't get anything for myself.

Aah!

[normal voice] My whole idea was

to make her really whiny,

'cause Alaska has this kind of

whiny voice.

[as Alaska] Wah!

[normal voice] Okay, you need to

pull it together,

you bowlegged

f*cking son of a bitch.

I've had it with you.

[laughter]

- Jinkx, girl, it's time for

the runway.

[as Jinkx] [snoring]

Jinkx?

Jinkx.

[as Jinkx] [snoring]

Huh? Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Do I look okay?

Can you guys help me with

my makeup?

Michelle told me that my cheeks

were too much.

Is this too much?

Is the blend okay?

[regular voice] So, Jinkx,

you think you're America's next

drag superstar.

[as Jinkx] You know, I try to

seem so innocent all the time,

but I'm really a bitch.

And I'm here to win,

and you guys have no idea.

[normal voice] Okay, Jinkx,

I've had enough.

You can go home.

[as Jinkx] Anyone know which way

Seattle is?

This way.

- That was rude.

- That wasn't rude.

- The shade of it all.

- Roxxxy, you look amazing.

Where'd you get your outfit?

[as Roxxxy] Same place I always

get my outfit, girl.

I made it ten minutes before I

got on the runway.

Hey!

Where my people at?

[normal voice] Oh, my god...

Roxxxy, I don't think that wig

is really working with this

outfit.

[as Roxxxy] That's okay, y'all.

I got another wig underneath!

[laughter]

[normal voice] I'm clocking

that tear-away.

[as Roxxxy]

Girl, I got a tear-away

underneath my tear-away!

- [laughs]

- A swimsuit!

Hey!

Where my people at?

Where my people at?

- Yeah, bitch, you better keep

repeating that,

'cause America's gonna know.

When they buy that song

on itunes, Can I Get a Amen?,

they're gonna say,

"Where my people at?"

- Wow, you girls didn't pull

any punches.

But one of you really made your

fellow queen eat it.

The winner is...

Alaska.

- [as Roxxxy] Hey!

Hey!

Where my people at?

- Ladies, I hope you left room

for dessert,

because for this week's

main challenge,

we're throwing the first ever...

[echoes] Sugar Ball.

You'll each need to whip up

three luscious looks.

First category is...

Super Duper Sweet 16,

teenage party girl.

Second category is Sugar Mama,

executive realness.

Third category is the tastiest

of them all,

Candy Couture.

- Ooh!

- Edible eleganza.

You'll be making high-calorie

fashion

using these sticky and

sweet confections

provided by Candy Warehouse.

Alaska, you won

the mini challenge,

so you get

a 15-second head start.

Go.

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

- Gentlemen,

start your engines.

And may the best woman win.

- Ooh!

- This challenge is about

sewing and creating.

Aah, my balls!

These b*tches don't know how

to sew.

This is my element of drag.

- Does everyone know

what kind of direction

they're gonna go in?

- I know exactly the direction

I'm going in.

- Do you?

- Yes.

I'm going Alexander McQueen

does Christmas.

[chuckles]

- Girl, she's going for

a winter wonderland look, bitch.

- It looks crazy.

Just 'cause you throw some

antlers on your g*dd*mn head

and you call it

an Alexander McQueen look?

Good luck, Jinkx.

- Coming up...

- I've f*cking had it.

- Girl, could you please stop

banging?

- Are you passionate about

becoming America's next drag

superstar?

- [laughing]

[techno music]

- This week's main challenge

is the first ever Sugar Ball,

where we have to create three

different looks...

a Sweet 16 party girl look,

a Sugar Mama executive realness

look,

and a Candy Couture

fashion look.

- I'm gonna eat

my entire costume.

- Alaska, do I remind you

of someone?

- Detox!

- They're not that big of

a stretch, really.

- Hello, hello, hello.

- Hi.

all: Hello.

- How are things going here

on the good ship Lollipop?

- Delish.

- Alaska.

- Hi.

- I came over to borrow a pair

of edible panties.

May I eat this pair?

- You can eat those shorts

all day.

- Oh, wait.

These aren't edible.

[sniffs]

Ew!

- Ew!

- [laughs]

Now I want to hear all about

your Candy Couture look.

- I like, like,

fluffy cotton candy.

- How are you putting the candy

on there?

It's just glued, right?

- Yeah, it's hot glue.

- Huh, interesting.

But you've been criticized

for being a little rough

around the edges.

You know, the stakes

are very high.

And you've really got to wow us

to get into that top three.

All right.

Can't wait to see it.

Hi, Jinkx.

You're not known for being

a seamstress.

- No.

- What are you doing?

- Well, I want to do, like,

Christmas in July candy cane

reindeer monster kind of thing.

- Wait now.

Say that again slower for me,

because I'm trying to get that

all up in there.

- Christmas in July candy cane

reindeer monster.

- Do you think it's too much,

though?

This your Candy Couture look.

- Yes.

- But where's the candy?

- Well, I'm going to look like

a candy cane overall.

- It's a candy challenge.

Where the candy at?

- And I'm very excited to give

the Sweet 16 a sh*t.

- Now, you know we're not

talking 1916, right?

- [laughs] Yeah.

Is it okay if I'm sweet 16

but in the '70s?

- Well, the judges have

challenged you

to be a little more, you know,

modern, contemporary.

Good luck.

- Thank you, Ru.

- Hey, Detox.

- Hi, Ru.

- So how are you gonna bring it

for your Candy Couture?

What do you have planned?

- I'm so in love

with acid green,

and I really want to do some

reptilian-looking...

- Uh-huh.

- Funk.

I don't know what I'm thinking

of yet, but I see it in my head.

- Detox's concept right now

is more based on a color.

I'm not seeing the candy

inspiration in it.

- I'm just trying to play it

all by ear.

- Well, now, looking

around the room,

it looks like you're

a little bit behind.

Now, last week, you were

in the bottom two.

- I know.

- There's a certain expectation

that, um, really just hasn't

been met.

I don't know what to say

about that.

- Right. I don't...

I don't either, honestly.

- Are you passionate about

becoming America's next drag

superstar?

- It's kind of like a slap

in the face.

Of course I want to be America's

next drag superstar.

That's what I want.

It's something

that I've always wanted.

- All right, get to work.

See you in a minute.

Roxxxy Andrews.

- Hey, Ru.

- Now, top four,

every moment counts.

- It's $100,000 at stake here.

- $100,000 at stake.

- And that's no game.

It's gonna be a fight

till the end, baby.

- So tell me about your

Candy Couture outfit.

- My Candy Couture,

I'm going very extravagant,

very extravaganza.

- Now, how's your body-ody-ody

gonna play into this outfit?

- Well, it's a corset,

so I kind of brought it up

over here

so that you could still get

a shape on that side,

a good silhouette.

- Uh-huh.

Well, just, you know, make sure

it flatters your figure

and that, you know, you can

serve true Roxxxy Andrews.

- Mm-hmm.

- You know?

- Yeah.

Ru's looking at me funny,

and I'm not sure that he likes

what I'm doing.

- Yeah, yeah. Wow.

- Now what am I gonna do?

- You better bring some hard

Roxxxy candy on the runway.

Get back to work.

- Thank you, Ru.

- All right.

All right, gather around,

my little gumdrops.

Now, tomorrow at the Sugar Ball,

we'll be joined my our

extra special guest judges,

CSI star Marg Helgenberger...

- I love her!

- Whoo!

- And fashion's most delicious

designer.

Bob Mackie will be here.

[all gasp]

- What?

- Shut up!

- Ahh!

- Bob Mackie has done

Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, Cher,

everybody.

He's a master at what he does.

- No pressure.

- Right.

- And there's just one more

thing.

In addition to creating your

three sickeningly sweet looks,

you need perform a Sugar Babies

opening number.

Now, Alaska, as the winner

of the mini challenge,

you're in charge

of the choreography.

- Oh!

[laughs]

- Oh, god.

- Get your bowleg on.

all: Get your bowleg on.

Get your bowleg on.

- Alaska's got

about this much rhythm.

So this is gonna be

a hot f*cking shitty mess.

- I expect to see sugar and

spice and everything nice,

so don't f*ck it up.

See you later.

[indistinct chatter]

- After Ru's walk-through,

I look over, and Roxxxy's look

is completely gone.

- Ru said something

about my silhouette, so...

at this point in the game,

if she's saying something,

it's for a reason.

- Right.

- I'm starting

back at square one.

I'm going with this licorice.

It looks like spaghetti.

This licorice is so thin.

But I'm putting on there

one at a time.

It's so tedious.

So this much time,

this much work.

- [whistling]

[pounding]

- Jinkx, really?

I'm stressed right now.

I have a lot to get done.

Like, girl, could you please

stop banging?

- Jinkx and the hammer is

driving me berserk.

And I've f*cking had it.

[pounding]

- Huh!

[pounding]

- Merry Christmas.

- Coming up...

- ♪ Our lips are glazed ♪

♪ Our eyes are candy-crazed ♪

- You're wrong, Jinkx.

Girl, it's left to right.

- 'Cause I don't want

to hit you

when you walk past me.

- If you hit me, I'm gonna

hit you right in the face.

- Aw, f*ck.

It isn't going on.

What the f*ck was that?

Aah!

I broke my entire outfit.

- [laughing]

[techno music]

- Today we have to come up with

a lip-sync performance

to a song called Sugar Babies.

All right.

- This musical number

is right up my alley.

This is me in my element.

- I'm no Alyssa Edwards when

it comes to choreography.

- You're not a choreographer

to the stars?

- I'm not.

We'll enter in that order...

you, her, her, me.

- You want us to enter and

go where?

And how do you want us to enter?

We all know Alaska is not

the best dancer,

so we don't know

what's gonna happen.

- ♪ We are, we are ♪

♪ That's right ♪

♪ The sugar babies ♪

- We gotta do something else

here.

- [coughs]

- 'Cause this is totally cute

for the first part.

- Yeah.

- But then what are we gonna do?

Should we do, like, a little

up, down thing too?

Like, Alaska and I...

[laughs] yeah.

- It's confusing to me, though.

- ♪ We are, we are ♪

♪ So simple ♪

Alaska's lucky, 'cause if it was

some kind of pop, pop, booty,

kind of pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,

it'd be a hot mess.

- That's too complicated.

[laughs]

- It would be funny

if we did something

where we're licking the suckers

and then we're having, like,

a sugar high.

- Why don't we do

the circle thing?

They always do a circle thing.

- Jinkx is acting

a little too wild,

and I know Roxxxy and I are

getting annoyed.

We don't have time for any

of that bullshit.

Which way are you gonna start,

Rox?

- I'll start right to left.

- Okay.

- Left, right.

- Should we all be going

the same way?

- No, opposites.

- I can't see anybody,

so follow me.

- Well, you would have to...

yeah, we'll all follow you.

- You're wrong Jinkx,

Girl, it's left to right.

It's not science.

- ♪ Our lips are glazed ♪

- We're so off.

- We're all relying

on each other

to figure out where we're

moving our candy canes.

And Jinkx is going super fast.

It seems like she's trying to be

a scene stealer,

and that's throwing the rest

of the group off.

- The reason I keep

getting off, Roxxxy...

you pass by me so close

that I don't want to hit you

when I'm doing this.

- 'cause it seems like

you switch.

- Oh, I thought she was fine.

- But you were still off.

- 'Cause I don't want

to hit you

when you walk past me.

- If you hit me, I'm gonna

hit you right in the face.

Just sayin'.

- Roxxxy's grasping at straws

to try to shake me.

I think it's because I've never

had to lip-sync for my life.

And so any chance she gets,

she's coming for me.

- ♪ We're sweet as pie ♪

♪ The kind you wanna try ♪

♪ With jelly-friendly

sugarcoated cones ♪

- So, um, are you not

lip-syncing on purpose?

- I don't know it yet.

I don't even know

what I'm saying.

- I'm just checking.

We're all sort of at least

faking our way through

the lip sync, but, like,

Roxxxy's just, like, not moving

her mouth at all.

It's like, "Oh, okay."

- Do you want me and Detox

to end

with both of our hands up?

Or the right on the right hand,

left on the left hand,

and you in the middle?

- Yeah, that.

- Am I in the middle or

the side?

Where do you want me?

If it totally tanks,

I don't think

that it's anybody else's

responsibility

except for Alaska's.

- Whew!

- We're back in from rehearsal.

We all have a lot to do.

We have three looks to plan

for tomorrow.

And the tensions are high,

so let's get to f*cking work.

- So, girls,

it's awfully quiet.

- Yeah, girl, we got work

to do.

- [yawns]

[snores lightly]

There is still so much to do.

And the narcolepsy kicks in,

and it's a struggle just to keep

my eyelids open.

I can't even see what I'm

looking at anymore.

[can rattling]

Oh, f*ck.

I'm starting to get so tired.

Like, I'm half asleep,

trying to make a dress.

When I shake myself out of it,

I look at my dress,

and I'm like,

"What the f*ck happened?"

This isn't what I wanted it

to look like.

I'm panicking, yeah.

- I've never seen Jinkx

so freaked out,

on the verge of tears.

A little part of me is so happy,

because the judges are finally

gonna see

that she's a whole hot

shitty trailer Christmas mess.

About time.

- Ugh!

- [fake crying]

- It's elimination day,

and we have a lot of work to do

for this Sugar Ball.

At the end of today, there will

only be three of us.

It's scary.

- Is it hideous,

or is it not hideous?

- I mean, it's a lot of stuff

going on.

- I mean, a big part of me

just wants to ditch

the big hoop skirt thing,

but then I only have candy

on my corset.

- Right.

- I'm going back and forth.

It's like cut this and lose

most of the candy

and most of the work I did

or keep this

and risking looking like

a complete joke on the runway.

I feel like an idiot.

- How much work does everyone

have left to do?

- I still have to, like, finish

this jewelry up

and then put a strap

on this dress.

And then I'm gonna start working

on hair.

Did you change anything?

- I just added some more candy,

And I need to finish adding

candy.

I'm liking it a lot much better

now I added these little

carnation things to it.

I'm gonna do a couple more.

- I love it.

- Detox's Candy Couture outfit

doesn't look candy-inspired

in the slightest.

Herein lies the problem

of having a best friend

in this competition.

Roxxxy's so close to Detox,

she can't bring herself to say,

"Detox, that dress doesn't read

as candy."

- Aw, f*ck. g*dd*mn.

What is wrong with this?

I don't know why

it isn't going on.

It's f*cking pissing me off.

We're completely running out

of time.

This was supposed to just go on

and look good,

and that's not happening.

[object clatters]

What the f*ck was that?

Aah!

- What just happened?

- The candy is falling off.

Chunks of the cotton candy

clouds are just shattering.

- f*ck cok-sucking hell sh*t.

I broke my entire outfit, so...

- What?

- I don't know how this thing's

going to get down the runway.

I'm completely panicking

right now.

Ow.

- Alaska and Jinkx,

they're both the weakest

in the competition.

- Jesus Christ.

- It's time for them to

lip-sync for their life.

- Coming up...

- It makes me question

your taste level.

- She was a really

promiscuous-looking 16-year-old.

- You know, they want to look

like a whore.

won't text her back.

- Young lady, you better not be

sexting.

- Mom, you've ruined

everything!

- Next up, Jinkx Monsoon.

Oh, hippy girl.

Almost Famous.

- This is Pacific Northwest

stoner chick extravaganza look.

- Jinkx, I read your diary,

and we need to have a talk.

- My name's not Jinkx anymore.

It's Dreamcatcher.

[laughter]

- Up next, Roxxxy Andrews.

- Usher is performing

at my sweet 16.

- Oh!

- She got a marshmallow ring?

- Yeah!

- Where my peeps at?

- I'm loving every minute.

The judges are smiling.

I'm giving them 16-year-old

realness.

- She's 16 going on sickening.

[laughter]

Up next, Detox.

- She's a Pink Lady.

- Pink Ladies rule the school.

- Yeah.

- My sweet 16 look is

'80s-inspired.

I'm working this lollipop,

sexy sweet 16.

- Rizzo's P.G.

- Pass it on.

- [laughs]

- Category is Sugar Mama,

executive realness.

Alaska.

- Cougar lady.

- Yes.

She's serving Barbara Corcoran.

[laughter]

- This woman takes her job

very seriously.

She's coming to visit

the construction site,

and, by god, there better not be

any bullshit.

- Tear down that bitch of

a bearing wall.

[laughter]

Jinkx Monsoon.

Darling, it's Lacroix, darling.

It's Lacroix.

[laughter]

- I am just camping it

down the runway

with every utensil I could find

stuck in my little French twist.

- She does give good

headmistress.

Roxxxy Andrews.

- Pork bellies?

Sell! Buy! No!

- Tina Knowles, I'm not buying

your line.

- Yes.

[laughter]

- I'm in my little short velvet

dress with my gummy bears,

and I am feeling sickening.

C-E-oh-no-she-didn't.

- Up next, Detox.

Serving Mugler.

- Oh, yeah.

- No lady is ever sure

at night.

- That's right.

- I've Angel perfume and

my Thierry Mugler bag.

Take that and suck on it.

- Love that blazer.

It's a real power top.

- [cackles]

Kind of like me!

- [laughs]

Category is Candy Couture,

edible eleganza.

First up, Alaska.

I think the material is

a cotton candy blend.

- I was having

some serious issues

with this cotton candy

fantasy.

So I'm feeling beautiful and

right,

but please, candy couture,

don't fall apart.

- Fluff the magic drag queen.

- Mmm.

- Jinkx Monsoon.

It's a hard candy Christmas.

- And her breath

is minty fresh.

I decided not to wear

that damn hoop skirt,

and I couldn't be more pleased

with the way it turned out.

I am the Abominable Snow Jinkx.

- Peppermint patty realness.

- This is a stag party.

[laughter]

- Roxxxy Andrews.

- Ooh.

- Wow, taste the rainbow.

- b*tches.

- Those judges cannot take this

coutureness.

Miss Thing, I know

my body looks right.

This licorice is exactly where

I need to be laying.

- Melts in your mouth.

- I wonder if her panties are

edible too.

- They are.

- Detox.

Very Splenda in the grass.

- My candy couture look,

it's Detox.

It's electric.

It still has a little touch

of the '80s.

- Lollipopulence.

- Yes.

- Is that some black licorice

I see?

- Uh-huh.

Licorice and lace.

Coming up...

Which one of you sweethearts

does not deserve to be

in the top three?

[dramatic music]

- [laughing]

Welcome, ladies.

Thanks to your candy couture,

I've got a cavity.

And it's throbbing.

Now it's time

for the judges' critiques.

First up, Alaska.

- Hi.

- Alaska, so Sugar Babies was

really cute.

I thought that it was

a little simple.

But your sweet 16, perfection.

- I see these girls all over

my part of Los Angeles. [laughs]

And I love how you committed

to the character.

- The cougar lady,

perfect in every way.

And the cotton candy is, to me,

the best representation of

candy.

I knew exactly what you were

when you walked out.

That's important.

- All right, next up

Jinkx Monsoon.

- The Sugar Babies number,

you really stood out,

'cause I did like your

googly-eye bit.

- Your sweet 16 party girl,



Like, she didn't feel young

at all.

- When I walked

into the werk room,

you had a big hoop skirt

that you had doctored and...

- Oh, yes.

I think it was a good choice

not to try to do too much

in one look.

- Jinkx, you break my heart.

I really want to see candy

glued to every piece of fabric

that you have on.

A hoop skirt

would have allowed you

to glue more candy onto

your outfit.

- Up next, Roxxxy Andrews.

- Your sweet 16 party girl,

I love that you did the edible

marshmallow jewelry,

although she was a really

promiscuous-looking 16-year-old.

- The executive look, I love.

You just looked like a bitch

on wheels.

I loved it.

- You reminded me of

The Devil Wears Prada.

And I love the candy couture

outfit.

You should make it for yourself

out of real fabric,

because you look great in it.

It's so flattering.

- Up next, Detox.

- I liked your sweet 16

'80s look...

your attitude, the jacket.

And the sugar mama executive

reminded me of, like,

Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.

- Your candy couture, though...

girl, it's a stretch.

- It's unfortunate that there's

a disconnect

between buying something

off the rack

versus designing something for

yourself.

And it makes me question

your taste level.

- All right.

Thank you, Detox.

Ladies, I hate to end

on a sour patch,

but I have one

final question.

Which one of you sweethearts

does not deserve to be

in the top three and why?

Starting with Jinkx.

- The one who has fallen short

most often up here is Detox.

- Alaska, same question.

- I would say Jinkx Monsoon.

I absolutely love her, but

I feel like there's maturing

that I would like to see.

- Roxxxy Andrews?

- Jinkx Monsoon.

The challenges that she needed

to step outside of her box

and design and be creative,

she didn't do well.

I had to be funny where I had

to be funny.

And it when it landed me

in the bottom,

it landed me in the bottom.

- Detox?

- I do agree

with the other girls.

It's not really a school

for girls.

It's a competition for the best

of the best.

- All right.

Thank you, ladies.

I think we've heard enough.

Now, while you untuck in the

Interior Illusions Lounge,

the judges and I

will deliberate.

[engine starts]

All right.

Just between us "goils,"

what do you think?

Let's start with Alaska.

- Alaska really brought three

fully realized looks.

I liked her sweet 16 number.

- The only thing is, I would've

maybe have liked to have seen,

like, a light color dress.

Like, why black?

- It's the days of wearing

a lot of fluffy pink

doesn't exist anymore.

You know, they want to look like

a whore.

[laughter]

- What's wrong with that, Bob?

[laughter]

- The executive sugar mama,

she committed to who she was

bossing around.

I loved it.

- It could go really bad

for a man in drag

wearing a blazer

and a pair of slacks.

But the way she cut it in

at the waist,

the way she padded herself,

I bought it.

- I thought the candy costume

was the only one that really

said candy when she walked out.

And I think she knows how to use

those legs.

- She's bowlegged.

[laughter]

- Yeah, she is,

but, boy, from the crotch down,

she's a star.

[laughter]

- Detox.

- Her sweet 16 just left me,

like, "Ugh. Really?

I feel like you can do better

than that."

I'm not getting what I want

from her.

- The executive look,

what I liked most

about it was the crazy-ass hair

juxtaposed with that, like,

very sleek suit.

- She was very prepared with

the fashion that she brought.

But then when she is asked to do

something from scratch, like,

the taste level, like,

disappears.

- If they're gonna design

their own dress,

they have to know

how to work that dress.

She didn't work it at all.

She never did anything

except just stumble over it

and trip all over it.

- Roxxxy Andrews.

- Roxxxy was the only one

who brought candy

to each and every one

of her looks.

- The sugar mama executive,

I loved her attitude.

There was something...I kind of

liked that it was a short dress,

and she's kind of got, you know,

muscular thighs.

- Her candy couture was my

favorite of the night.

- But we didn't know

that was candy.

- But she worked it.

- When I was backstage

with her,

she had something completely

different,

something that looked like

a candy-coated Dorito.

- [laughs]

That sounds good.

- Yeah, it sounds delicious.

But I questioned it, and she

changed it, you know?

And that's the sign of someone

who is paying attention.

All right,

moving on to Jinkx Monsoon.

- I think she's a terrific

performer.

But as far as the candy couture

outfit goes,

it just didn't really work.

- If you can't tell that your

'70s-inspired look

isn't really doing

the sweet 16 thing,

I don't know when you're gonna

know that.

- She looked like Bette Davis

in Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte.

- [laughs]

- I mean, truly.

That long wig

and that weird lacy, ugly dress.

- Jinkx kind of failed

at every single one

of the things tonight,

although I did feel, really,

that she was getting thrown

under the bus by Rolodex here.

- Rolaskatox.

- Yeah. They're Rolodex.

I think they were like, "Oh,

let's get to the top three

together."

It was like season one

of Survivor.

- [laughs]

- Silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

[laughing]

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Alaska, your candy couture gave

the judges a real sugar rush.

You are the winner

of this week's challenge.

- Ahh!

[applause]

- You've won a private portrait

session

with celebrity photographer

Austin Young.

- I'm in the top three.

I am so happy.

- Roxxxy Andrews, I'm gonna

keep this short...

and sweet.

You're safe.

Condragulations.

You've made it

to the final three.

You may step to the back of

the stage.

Detox, Jinkx Monsoon,

I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

- It's more than I can even

process right now.

My body, it's all numb.

- I'm pissed off that I'm here.

It's devastating.

- Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance

to impress me

and save yourself

from elimination.

The time has come for you to

lip-sync for your life.

- The lights go down, and

the last things I say to myself

are "I love you, Nana" and

"water off a duck's back."

- Good luck.

And don't f*ck it up.

Jinkx Monsoon,

shantay, you stay.

Detox, you had me hooked

from day one,

and I can't get you

out of my system.

And now

neither can anyone else.

Now sashay away.

- It's been so magical and

so humbling.

Thank you so much, from

the bottom of my heart.

- Thank you, Detox.

- I'm gonna miss

all of you guys.

I love you.

I love you so much.

- [yells]

It really f*cking sucks

that I didn't all the way

to the top three,

like I had intended to.

A better fit

would've definitely been

to have me in the top three.

But I just can't thank Ru

enough.

The only thing I have left to

say is...I've had it.

Bye.

- The top three.

One final challenge stands

between you and $100,000.

Now 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!
