You need to
create and market
your very
own brand of
yeast spread.
Ah!
Action.
Bend over
and pick up
your package.
I thought you
did a really good
job.
A lot of these
girls here are
underestim
ating you.
RuPaul: Maxi
Shield, I'm
surprised
that you didn't
do better in
this.
Etcetera Etcetera.
I do feel
like there's
a little bit of a line
that maybe you
shouldn't cross.
I was not a
fan of your
commercial.
Maxi Shield.
Shantay, you stay.
Etcetera Etcetera.
Sashay away.
Hey.
Go on, Maxi.
"Yippee, yippee,
trans people
deserve more.
"I love you b*tches.
Etcetera, the
glamour bug"
I entered
that lip sync
knowing I
had to use
everything I could,
because
Etcetera's
amazing.
I say she's the
future of drag.
-Yes.
-Like, ju--
-She's the future
of the human
race.
-100%.
See you, E-T-C.
Continuing
the journey,
and eliminating
the youngest
queen,
being the
oldest queen...
Like, it's just
so mental.
Was it fun?
-Ask me tomorrow.
-Okay.
Scarlet, so
you're in the top?
That has
thrown me.
I really thought
I was gonna be
in the bottom
after those
critiques.
So, if the
order means
something,
-does that mean
that I was--
-You were
bottom three.
Oh! I haven't
won a
maxi-challenge
since week one.
It's really
starting to get to
me,
I don't know,
I'm so frustrated
that I'm not
doing better.
I think it was
that expectation
is here,
and what
was delivered
was here.
Yeah,
that's their
continued critique
for you,
whereas a lot of
these queens
are coming here
with clean slates,
as fresh faces,
you know?
They don't need
to live up to
an expectation
that the judges
already have of
them.
This week was
probably the first
time
the judges saw
what I've got
over you guys.
I'm a winner, baby.
I feel so good
this week.
I am totally
re-energized
for this
competition,
and I think some
of these girls
are realizing
that I'm a real
contender.
-Yours genuinely
was the best.
-Yeah, it
really was.
-Elektra's on a
high, good for
her.
-[laughs]
That being said,
you packed what
you packed,
you brought what
you brought, so
you
have to win them
over in other
aspects.
Oh.
-Ooh!
-Oh!
Whoo!
Elektra:
Maybe have
a double
elimination
next week.
Send home
two Aussies.
If anyone's gonna
send Scarlet
home,
it should be me.
I think
Scarlet's good,
but I think
I'm a better
performer.
-Scarlet's...
[whispering,
indistinct]
-I think Scarlet's
[whispering].
I'm a lip sync
assassin,
and if they
need to call in
Elektra
to send
Scarlet home,
I'll do it.
-#GoingDown!
-What?
I will give my
all to send her
home.
RuPaul: The

Wah!
Oh!
-There's a brand
-new week this
week.
-What are they
gonna throw at
us?
Who knows?
I wouldn't mind
one of those
mini-challenges
where they
bring in, like,
members,
-and have,
like, a little--
-Oh!
-That would be
nice, yeah, yeah.
-Make a jam pie?
I think it's apparent
we're all very
thirsty now.
Yeah, how
long's it been?
Six, seven years?
Ah!
No, I think
you'll find it's
been 10, um--
[gagging]
I'm fine!
I feel great
about it being a
decade ago.
-Do you have a

-Yes.
-Single?
-I am single, I am.
-Would you two
ever consider--
-Definitely not.
-Yeah, this
could be a thing.
-Whoo!
Kita Mean,
not for me.
No k-holes.
Oh, that means
a lot more things
now.

-Ah!
Oh, sh*t.
Get out the

- Ya!
-Hi everyone, my
name's Mark.
I'm from
Aunty Donna,
and this is my
best friend
Broden,
and my my best
friend Zach.
I think I'm more
excited for
Aunty Donna
than I was for,
like, Dannii
Minogue.
You know, a
lot of people
like Aunty Donna
love Drag Race?
You betcha.
They think,
"Surely these guys
are just doing it
for the promotional
opportunity."
But that's not
true-- we're
obsessed!
We love the
Drag Race,
it's fast-paced.
We love the
passionat
e fan base.
And we love those
vroom-vroom
cars.
RuPaul's
Drag Race
has the fastest
cars I've ever
seen.
-They burn
rubber, baby.
-Tell me about
it, ripsnorter.
Anyway, we're
gonna go drink
Monster Energy
Drinks now.
-Back to you,
Rand Paul.
-And to all of the
contestants--
[all talking at once]
May the best
drag car,
-vroom-vroom car
-Drag Race driver
win the race.
Ah, I love
that we're
gonna have
Aunty Donna!
-G'day,
g'day, g'day!
-Hey!
My queens,
now after weeks
of being
cooped up,
you must be
craving some
interaction
with the
local wildlife.
Ooh!
♪ Oh, Pit Crew! ♪
A whole buffet
of sausages.
Ooh!
Ooh, hello!
I'm very
excited, and
d*ck-stracted.
Oh!
So d*ck-stracted.
RuPaul:
For today's
mini-challenge,
we're playing
a game called
"Whatcha Packin'
Down Under?"
Oh!
Now, each
of these hot
mens-es-es
has an animal
hiding inside his
pouch.
I didn't know
they had animals
in their underpants
when they
came out.
I was like, "Holy
f*cking sh*t."
Now, I'll give
you three clues.
If you guess
correctly after
the first clue,
you get five points.
If you guess
correctly
after the
second clue,
you get
three points.
And, if you
get it after the
third clue,
you get one point.
The queen with
the most points
wins.
Number three,
please step
forward.
Here's clue
number one,
for five points.
"I nurse
without nipple."
-A snake.
-A snake?
RuPaul:
I know there is
a snake down
there,
but that is not
the answer
we're looking for.
I can see a bit
hanging out
at the bottom.
Oh, dear-- oh,
my goodness.
"I am a
monotreme
, which means
'single hole'
in Greek."
What has a
single hole?
Um, platypus.
Is it a-- long
shot, platypus?
-I don't know,
a bucket?
-RuPaul: A bucket.
Do you have
a bucket?
Whatcha packin'
Down Under?
-Ay!
-[laughs]
Wow!
That is a platypus.
"I travel the
world on planes."
He's gotta have
a snake down
there.
I'm gonna
say, a lion.
Just peak in
there and see.
-No, it's not.
-Oh, sh**t.
"I carry my babies
everywhere
with me."
-A kangaroo?
-Kangarooooo?
Do you have a
kangaroo down
there?
Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa!
-Oh!
-Yeah!
A cute kangaroo.
"I have a
large bill."
-Is it a pelican?
-RuPaul: Do you
have a pelican?
Aw.
"People say my
vocalizations
are loud
and harsh."
Is it a magpie?
"What's better
than one c*ck,
but not as good
as three c*ck?"
I think it's a
c*ck-a-two.
Oh-h*-h*!
Do you have
a c*ck?
"I am
monogam
ous by nature."
I'm thinking...
-Penguin.
-A swan.
-I'm gonna
say penguin.
-Is that a penguin?
Do you have
a swan in your
pants?
I mean,
looks like a
swan from here.
"A flock of
me is called
a 'flamboyance'."
Is it a parakeet?
-Uh, no.
-Okay.
Oh, a flamingo.
That is a flamingo.
Oh, my goodness!
Look at the
length of that
thing.
Oh!
"Honey, I'll
eat anything."
-Crocodile?
-No.
"My skin feels
like sandpaper."
Hmm, that's
a hard one.
-Is it?
-Hmm.
Are you putting
all the clues
together?
-Sandpaper, I'll
eat anything.
-Yeah.
Anaconda.
"When I'm nearby,
swimmers
might say,
'I'm feeling very
attacked right
now!'"
-Is it a shark?
-Do you have
a shark?
Oh! h*-h*!
Wow!
RuPaul: It is
a huge one.
"My ancestors
first arrived
in New Zealand
in 1773."
-I'm gonna
say kiwi.
-Oh, it's not.
"Today, there
are 26 million of
me."
Sheep?
Baaa.
What's gonna
happen?
Baaaa!
"I can sleep up
to 18 hours a
day."
A bear?
I'm gonna
go with no.
-A koala.
-Oh!
Is that a koala?
RuPaul:
Let's take a look
to see what's
in those--
Aw.
-Do you have
chlamydia as well?
-No.
He does now.
Ladies, I've
tabulated the
scores,
and with a total
of 17 points,
the winner
of today's
mini-challenge is
-Maxi Shield.
-Hey!
Maxi, you've
won a $2.000 gift
card
from Amped
Accessories.
Oh, fabulous!
Now racers,
when it rains, it
pours,
and lucky for you,
today it's
raining men.
Please,
give a warm
Drag Race Down
Under welcome
to members of
the Falcons
Rugby Team.
-Yes!
-Come on in, boys!
-Whoo!
-[cheering
and clapping]
Hey, boys.
It's a g*y
sports team.
I'm so excited!
Kia ora, queens.
Kia ora, everyone,
I'm Dan, and I
normally play
prop.
Hey, I'm Wolf,
and I usually
play
six or seven.
Kia ora, I'm Fara,
and I play
number eight.
Kia ora, I'm Jonah,
I'm usually wing
or full back.
Kia ora, everyone,
I'm Carl,
and I play lock.
Kia ora, I'm Brad,
I also play lock
alongside Carl.
Okay, now, ladies.
For this week's
makeover
maxi-challenge,
brought to you
by Revolution
Beauty,
you need to
transform
these rugged,
rough sportsmen
into lovely
ladykins.
[trilling]
You know,
like, it's like
Matchmaker.
Like, all right,
which ones
can I work with,
which ones can
I not?
I mean, I'm a
fabulous makeup
artist,
so I could make
them all look
fabulous,
but some jobs
are harder than
others.
RuPaul: Now
Maxi, as
the winner
of the mini
-challenge,
you get to assign
the players to
the queens.
Now remember,
Maxi,
the judges will
be looking for
a strong
drag family
resemblance.
Let's start with
who you're
choosing
for Karen
From Finance.
Maxi could
do this either
one of two ways.
She could
play fair...
...or she could
be a c**t.
-I think I'm gonna
give Karen
Wolf.
-Oh!
There you go.
RuPaul:
Now, who do
you choose for
Elektra Shock?
-There you go,
young man.
-Yes.
-Elektra.
-Hi.
RuPaul:
Scarlet Adams.
Brad, I think.
-Oh!
-Hi, Brad.
-Here you go.
-[laughs]
So, Art Simone,
the makeup artist.
I'm gonna give
you Jonah.
Come to
me, darling.
Hi!
It went down
to the two,
which was
Dan and Carl.
Who do you have
for Kita Mean?
Am I gonna
choose Carl
'cause he's hot?
Or I'm gonna
choose Dan
that I've got a
costume that'll
fit,
and we can
almost be twins?
There we go.
Instead of
thinking from
downstairs,
I thought of
with my brain,
and thought,
"You know what?
This is probably
a better
match."
Dan and I are
gonna be twinsies.
You chose Dan
because you could
fit the same
clothes?
-Exactly.
-Oh.
Maxi was really
nice with who
she, like,
handed off
to everyone.
She wasn't
playing too
strategically.
RuPaul: So,
Karen, is
with Wolf,
Elektra is
with Fara.
Scarlet's
with Brad,
Art's with Jonah.
Kita's with Carl,
and Maxi has
saved Dan for
herself.
The only one
that I think is
maybe a little
bit suspect
is Carl paired
with Kita,
'cause Carl's
pretty, and Kita
is...
Kita's...
[crickets]
Kita's a
good friend.
Queens,
you can use
your own drag,
plus any of
the fabulous
footwear
provided by
Shoeme.
So racers, start
your engines,
and may the best
drag queen win.
-Whoo!
-[whooping]
-Welcome to
Drag Race.
-[laughs]
-Have you ever
done drag?
-No, never.
-You are popping
my cherry.
-Okay.
And you better
f*cking rip it
open.
Yes, well, f*ck,
you've come to
the right place.
-Have you ever
been in drag
before?
-Never.
What about heels?
Have you ever
walked in heels?
No, and like,
chomping at the
bit
-to give them
a go, eh?
-Yeah?
Have you done
drag before?
Other than, like,
dressing up in
my mum's
heels when I
was, like, five?
-Probably not, no.
-Okay, so this
is your first
time.
-Yes.
-Lovely.
So, you haven't
done heels, you
haven't
done corset,
cinching, padding?
-I've put
on lipstick.
-You've put
on lipstick.
Is that it?
Um, okay,
that's fabulous.
-Have you been
in drag before?
-No.
-I haven't.
-Have you
walked in heels
before?
Badly.
Okay.
Keeping
the beard?
Um...
It's up to you.
I trust you.
A bearded boy,
to ask him to
shave,
is sometimes
like trying to cut
someone's
foot off, really,
isn't it?
Well, I might cry.
-You might
cry-- no!
-But it's okay.
He hasn't
shaved his beard
in 12 years.
I understand it's
a competition.
This is probably
a better
option,
to have him
cleanly shaved.
We'll see.
I have some
heavy-duty,
steel boned
corsets.
We are gonna
put you into this
one.
-Oh, wow.
-[laughs]
-How does
that feel?
-Good, it's
all right, it's
good.
-Too tight?
-No, no,
keep going.
Keep going?
Tighter?
Okay, b*tch,
let's play!
-How's that?
-Um, yeah.
Does it need
more, or...?
-Suck it in!
-Oh, my gosh.
Suck it in--
yeah, you're
doing--
look how good
you're going.
Oh! Another one.
All right, then
you go-- oh!
Now, what I
need you--
I need you to
give me, like,
your firmest rugby
stance, okay?
Put one foot
in front of the
other.
One, two,
three, huah!
Okay, that is
what we want.
Ah! Ah!
Oh, my God,
oh, my God.
Now you gotta
show it off,
show it off.
-Do you feel
snatched?
-Um.
Oh, my God, look.
You're taut,
you're trim,
you're beautiful.
Oh, I love
it for you.
-How's that?
-Oh, wow.
-You look good!
-[laughs]
I'm paired
with Fara,
and he seems
really, really
nice.
He's a little quiet,
and that does
worry me a little
bit.
Yeah, yeah,
yeah, look,
you're 100%
Jojo Zaho!
Can you do,
like, fierce eyes,
like, you'd be like...
That's so good!
[laughs]
And suddenly
something is
emerging.
I cannot wait
to get some
heels on her.
Heel first,
and swish.
-Oh, oh, goodness
gracious me.
-Oh.
I don't want
to give you
walking tips
just yet,
I just want to
see what you've
got.
Look at me.
Toddler coming
towards you.
Oh, you're fine,
you're fine.
Okay.
Yeah, that's
it. Okay.
I'm glad I got
paired with Brad,
now that I'm
seeing how
the others
are doing.
Let's put
you in heels.
I reckon you
can give him
a run for
his money.
Okay, now I
want you to do it
like a woman.
How does a
woman walk?
You show me
what you think
a woman
walks like.
-That's like...
no, b*tch.
-[laughs]
No.
Look, this is Drag
Race, honey.
T-Rex is in
the house.
Ah!
-Lift your foot
up a little bit?
-Oh, yeah?
Do you want
me to do
a turn like
that, too?
So, just go
for a walk,
let me check out
the walk first.
I think the
twirl's good.
Bam, bam, bam,
bam, bam, bam.
Yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes!
Oh, oh!
Oh, my God,
I'm so happy.
And then pose--
stop and pose.
Ooh!
I got teased in it.
Oh, Jesus Christ!
Oh, my God.
He is wobbly.
He's very,
very wobbly.
Is it-- oh, my
God, Dan.
Trip hazards.
f*ck.
Now, have
you ever worn
a bosom before?
-No.
-No? All right,
you stay there.
All right.
Oh, my God,
you actually
have t*ts. I love
it!
Grab a titty! Yes.
Okay, so go
give it a try.
We've got
to show off
your new waist,
there we go.
-Oh, that's beaut--
oh, look at
that.
-Oh.
And now, to
really feel
the woman
within you,
I want you to
emit a noise.
-Oh, yeah...
-Oh, yeah...
Oh, yeah, so sexy.
Oh, good--
that's it, tongue,
that's good.
I am known--
I'm known
for my mouth,
all right?
Oh, really?
I give good
mouth-hole, so I
think we have
that in common--
do you?
Um...
I'm not
worried about
aesthetics
with Jonah.
I'm not worried
about the look.
It's the personality
and it's the
energy and it's the
fire.
That's what I need
to get out
of Jonah.
It's gonna be
the hardest part
of the
transformation.
Are you ready for
the full fantasy
moment?
Okay, here
we go, ready?
Oh, yes!
Oh, yeah,
yes, Carl!
Wet boobies!
It's so easy
working with Carl,
I love that he's
so into this.
He has fully got
the big crossy
energy and
it is speaking to
me in volumes.
-Carl is my
partner.
-Ah!
Carl and I have
been together
for...
coming up
two years,
and so I think
there's gonna be
some competition
there.
Yeah? Do you
want to beat him?
-Absolutely
-f*ck, yeah.
Hey, this is
a f*cking
competition.
We're totally
gonna get in
there,
and just,
like, really
run it up the
guts, and--
-Run it up the
gu-- I bet--
-Run it up
the guts.
I'm sure you
know all about
running up
peoples' guts.
Getting there,
it's getting
there.
[wolf howling]
Looking around
the room,
there's some, you
know, rougher,
harder rugby
players to work
with.
They're doing
the fifth Hobbit
movie
in the corner there.
Scarlet's got a
big, old man.
Scarlet's
aesthetic is, like,
young, thin,
fashion model,
and that's a man.
That's a
bloody man.
I'm making a
custom garment
here,
from our drag
child craft.
There's not
gonna be
a single other
b*tch in this
room
who's making a
custom costume
for their person.
-Oh, my God,
this is like--
-So...
I just wish I
was like one of
the lazy girls
that brought
a fully completed
outfit, ready
to go,
and isn't making
anything custom
for our lovely
drag
daughters,
something special.
I don't remember
that being
part of the brief.
I mean, if you all
want to wear
sacks, go for it.
If you want
to go into
the challenge
thinking,
"I'm wearing a
sack tomorrow,"
then be my guest.
Oh, I wasn't
talking to you,
you're not
wearing the
sack, your drag
daughter is.
Whoo!
It's funny that
Art said that,
because all
she's doing
is tailoring in
a square of
fabric.
Whereas I'm
sitting next to her,
custom-boning
a corset leotard,
and I'm like,
"Okay, girl!"
Come on in!
[trilling]
Oh, my gosh,
I feel light as a
feather!
There's never
been this much
masculine
energy around
the table before.
How are you
guys all feeling
today?
-Shittin' myself.
-Yeah!
I'm nervous
this week about
what we're
gonna be giving,
-and how
it's gonna
be received.
-Yeah, same.
I really need to
make sure that,
like,
I give you your
chance to shine,
and I don't steal
the limelight
from you.
-I'm nervous about
overshadowing
you.
-Yeah, 100%.
See?
Oh, she is
your daughter.
She is my
granddaughter!
Should we "drive
it up the guts"
on three?
-Yeah, all right.
-One, two, three!
Drive it up
the guts!
-We've got a lot
of work to do.
-Let's get
into drag, ah!
Excellent.
Are we gonna
shave it?
Yep.
I mean, you
could've got rid of
your mono
-brow, love.
-So mean.
-You've only got
one eyebrow.
-You're supposed
to be my mom.
-That's all right.
I'm gonna
block your one
eyebrow.
Okay, here we go!
Oh!
Oh, my God.
You look beautiful!
Dan, he's
confident
because he
has that beard.
A beard is
quite a shield.
-Is that okay?
-Yeah.
So, I hope this
proves to him
that he is
an incredible
person,
with or without
the beard.
Oh, holy sh*t.
Oh, my God.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I just
look so different.
-We look even
more similar now.
-We do, don't we?
It's been such a
cool experience
so far.
Good.
Yesterday, like
about you being
a bit shy and
quiet, like--
-Yeah.
-Why do you
think that is?
I think it's a
lot to do with,
-like, being a
Pacific Islander,
like--
-Yep.
In our culture,
it's kind of
ingrained
in us to just do
your best to
fit in.
Growing up,
I never really
thought I was
g*y.
I thought it was
like a phase.
All my life, I
just always
wanted
to fit in as, like,
a cis man,
and all that
kind of stuff.
I present quite,
for want of
a better word,
masculine, out of
drag.
Mm-hmm.
There was a time
where you did
not
tell people
you did drag,
because it
emasculated you,
which was very
unattractive
to gays in the
g*y community.
I guess when
I was, like,
being a dancer,
and in that sort
of world,
like, they didn't
want to see
a feminine boy
on the stage.
They wanted, like,
the masculine
go-go dancer.
I feel like that,
now, like,
even though
I'm fully out--
-Yeah.
-In some
situations
, I kind of,
you know,
put my foot back
in the closet.
I've been in
relationships
where they didn't
like the drag,
so you stop
doing it, you stop
doing
the thing that
you enjoy doing.
Like, sorry,
there are
a hundred dicks
in the world,
and none of them
are big enough
to stop doing drag.
It's what I love
about, like,
the Falcons Rugby
Team is, like,
it's just cool to
meet a bunch
of guys
that are just
so, like--
Themselves?
You can be
masculine,
but also just,
like, look
pretty.
What's his name?
What's his
drag name?
Uh, Aunt
Pheta Mean.
I think I look
stunning,
I don't know,
but I feel it.
-I don't know
about that one.
-Yeah, I don't
know, either.
Kita's just been
doing Kita.
She's been
sailing along
the whole
competition,
just doing her
own thing,
and that's about it.
All eyes are on
her this week to
top, uh--
I'll leave it at that.
So, um, yeah.
I haven't won any
challenges, so
far.
I need to
show RuPaul
that I'm not
just some, like,
middle of the
road queen, and
I'm like,
really here
to represent.
When you've
been given,
like, reciprocal
energy, it's
amazing.
In Maori,
like, we call
manaakitanga.
-What do
we call it?
Manaakitanga?
-Manaakitanga.
That's the kind
of care that
lifts up
somebody's spirit.
-Yeah.
-And by lifting
up somebody
else's spirit,
you're lifting
up your own
spirit.
And that's
what I felt like
yesterday,
I felt so cared for.
And I saw
you just being
a big, old ball
of energy,
and I felt like--
and I felt like I
wanted to be
one.
-It just, like--
-Cool!
Carl already
understands how
important
this whole
thing is to me.
I'm like, "f*ck
yeah, I want to
get on
that person's
team."
Yes!
And he wants to
do everything he
can
in his power
to help us bring
that crown
home.
That's giving
me even more
confidence
that I just
have to, like,
keep now just
building it up.
-I'm getting
excited now.
-Yes, you
should be.
The Karen
signature.
-I mean, I had
pink eye before.
-You don't--
[laughs]
Your eyebrows,
they're drying
good.
I will do
another coat.
Turn around
and have a look.
Art Simone hasn't
even started
her girlfriend's
face.
It's like her
sister isn't even
in the competition,
it's just
her.
Art Simone can
sit on her eye
makeup
for what feels
like hours.
I put the base
on my sister,
Art Simone's
doing her eyes.
I put the lips
on my sister,
Art Simone's
doing the eyes.
I'm ready to
do hair and
costume,
Art Simone's
still painting her
eyes.
Every time I
look over, it's
like she's
not making any
progress at all.
Hey, Art, you
know you've got to
put
your rugby player
in drag, don't
you?
Oh, so we're
still waiting for
her eyebrow
to dry.
Oh, my God.
-Are we on track?
-Yeah, it's
happening, I'm
doing,
again, like I was
saying, like,
it's learning a
new face as I'm
doing it,
so it's a little
bit difficult,
'cause I'm still
learning your
structure.
I think the way
that I paint my
face is very
specific to me,
so in terms of
family
resemblance
, I'm not too
worried.
I did get the
older gentleman,
though,
so I feel like
it will be
less like a "me
being the mother
and they being
the daughter"
situation,
and the opposite
way around.
They are
definitely blowjob
lips,
definitely
blowjob lips.
"Hey, Gladys,
give us that glad
eye."
Just finished
my eyes.
I'm not sure
what's up.
Art.
Is your girl
painting her own
face?
No, I'm waiting
for her f*cking
eyebrows
to dry, you
dickhead.
You've been
saying that for,
like,
an hour,
haven't you?
There's so
much more
to putting
someone into drag
than just the wigs,
the makeup,
and the
costuming.
It's releasing
something
from your
inner self.
With Fara, I
was explaining
everything I was
doing the whole
time.
I think the
consideration of
nurturing
and motherhood
was missed there.
I'm doing her
face last so her
face
doesn't get
crusty and gross
by the time she
hits the runway.
Your girls have
to sit around
in makeup
for two hours
as they degrade
and turn to
sh*t, so...
What are you
gonna do
if you run out of
time, though?
I mean, I wouldn't
be worried
because they
already kind of
look sh*t
-in the
beginning, so...
-[laughs]
Art's face
looks stunning.
Yeah, she
is beautiful.
It's a shame
her personality
stinks.

Welcome to the

My sister from
another mister,
Michelle Visage.
And my brother
from another
mother,
Rhys Nicholson.
Rhys, who's your

-Does Sporty
Spice count?
-[laughs]
Yes.
This week we
challenged
our queens to
transform rugby
players
into members
of their own
drag families,
and tonight,
they are ready
to let us have
it.
Racers, start
your engines,
and may the best
drag queen win.
♪ Con-drag-
ulations... ♪
This week's
makeover
challenge
is brought
to you by
Revolution Beauty.
Category is,
"Drag Family
Resemblance."
Up first, Kita
Mean and Feta
Mean.
We look so soft
and glamorous,
taking our time
to show you
how beautiful
we feel.
And bang!
Full expl*si*n
of camp
ridiculousness.
It's Cirque
du So-g*y!
Feta is looking
like she is
having
the time of her life.
I want the
judges to see
that drag is
about having fun.
It's about owning
who you are,
and putting
that into every
single step on
the runway.
Rhys: Feta Mean
definitely has
a lot more energy.
Up next, Elektra
Shock and Riri
Action.
Take us to
your leader.
On the runway,
we are serving
intergalact
ic, sparkly,
dramatic.
It's a little bit
dangerous,
she looks
fantastic.
Fara is completely
stealing the
show from me,
and I wouldn't
have it any other
way.
Set phasers
to stunning!
Up next, Maxi
Shield and Cilla
Wet.
Michelle:
Otherwise
known as
"Romy and
Michele:
The Golden
Years".
Walking down
the runway,
and as I gaze
across, Cilla is
serving it.
Self-saucing
pudding.
I hope the judges
are eating it
up.
I'm so proud
of her.
Michelle:
Ru, remember
when we
used to do
that move?
RuPaul: I do.
-Oh!
-Roughhousing.
Up next, Art and
Craft Simone.
So special to be
walking down
the runway with
Crafty.
We are coming
from the same
dirty makeup
brush,
and we're
ready for
the best day
of our lives.
Well, not mine,
but maybe hers.
Ah!
Rhys: This look
could have been
a real flip-flop.
Has anyone
seen my shoes?
No, you stupid
b*tch, this way.
Up next, Scarlet
Adams and
Sapphire Adams.
Scarlet and
Sapphire
are serving
burlesque
house realness.
Watching Sapphire
on the other
end
of the runway,
I'm so proud.
She is really
serving it,
and she's having
a great time.
I want the judges
to see the
fact that I
made a costume
from scratch for
Sapphire.
Michelle:
Shake your tail
feather!
-Oh!
-Ooh!
Foxy morons.
Up next, Karen
From Finance
and Debbie
From Reception.
Michelle: I'm
calling HR.
For the runway
this week, Debbie
and I
are serving
you nepotism
realness.
Debbie is
giving camp
fierceness,
just the way
that I wanted.
She's got a big
smile, she's
looking
stupid, and she's
loving every
second.
We're both having
a really good
time.
Michelle:
Serving pink
slip realness.
Oh, no.
-Kia ora, queens.
-Kia ora!
-Aussie
Aussie Aussie!
-Oi oi oi!
Now it's time
for the judges'
critiques.
First up,
Kita Mean,
and this is
Feta Mean.
You just
turned it out.
It was fun
to watch,
the family
resemblan
ce is there.
The makeup,
Kita, is really
good.
Feta Mean, this
don't seem like
your first time
at the rodeo.
What has Brad
said about
your
transformation?
I think he thought
I looked
f*cking hot.
-Carl's the
sexiest by far,
hands down.
-Aw.
Up next is
Elektra Shock,
and this is
Riri Action.
I think your
sibling, or cousin,
has been
neglected
a little bit
in the
makeup area.
I think this is a
new thing for
you to do,
so I'm being kind.
I'm gonna
fight Michelle.
I think you've
created
a really smart way
to make you
both look
as similar
as possible.
There's drama
to these looks.
I don't know,
kind of,
James-Cameron-
does-Chicago,
and yep, yep,
there we go.
See? I got
the reference.
I'm g*y, I do
butt stuff.
We shared so
much, as well,
out of drag, this
sort of story
of playing straight
in our early
and sort of
discovering
this femininity
in ourselves,
and, like, letting
that unleash.
Can you please
explain to Rhys
what
"playing
straight" is?
Yeah, I don't
think he'd get it.
Up next is
Maxi Shield,
and this is
Cilla Wet.
The fun-ness
of the act
did not go
unnoticed,
but there are
details that were
missing,
like some hair
under that
turban.
When you walked,
some of the
black
undergar
ments were
showing.
These are all
little details at
this point
in the competition
that I'm looking
for, and the
minute
I see it, it's
like, "Oh."
Both of you
kind of seemed
a little unsure
of yourselves.
There wasn't
really any kind of
story
to what was
going on.
Look how
gorgeous
your legs
look,
they are beautiful.
Tell us about
the beard,
is it a way to hide?
By having it,
I fit into the
more
sort of bear sub
-tribes of g*y
culture,
and then it just
became sort of
part of my
identity, so...
I'm surprised
at who's in the
mirror.
Well, I'm glad
the beard is off,
because we
get to see your
beautiful face.
-Thank you
very much.
-Thank you.
Up next,
Art Simone,
and this is
Craft Simone.
Love the name,
Art and Craft
Simone.
Don't really see
a drag family
resemblance.
But it's really,
really well
done.
You are so smart,
and you make
these
really incredible
references,
but I think
sometimes it-- that
almost
gets in the
way of the
challenge.
I will say,
Craft, my Lord!
I mean, so
gorgeous.
Who in your
family do you look
like?
She'll k*ll me
for saying this,
but probably
my sister.
Your sister.
Who looks better?
Of course, I
do, obviously.
You know,
that's because
you are a woman.
Up next, we've
got Scarlet
Adams,
and this is
Sapphire Adams.
I thought it
was cute.
I do think it's
really simple.
My major
complaint
is that I feel
like Sapphire
wasn't really
padded.
I tend to
agree, I think
a little more
attention
was paid to
Scarlet than
Sapphire.
I think there's just--
your look is just
slightly more
finished.
I think that
some of the hair
could have
softened,
but she looks
absolutely
gorgeous.
Sapphire,
who in your family
do you look
like?
Uh, I think I look
like my dad.
Carl, when
you saw Brad,
-what was your
first thought?
-Um...
Oh, f*ck, I was
just so proud of
him.
I know his journey,
and that just
gives me so much
love
for what he's
doing, yeah.
Thank you
very much.
Up next, Karen
From Finance,
and this is
Debbie From
Reception.
What I enjoyed
the most about
you kids
was the
presentation.
You had a
storyline.
I do think the
glasses are so
heavy,
I can't see a lot
of your face,
but I love
what you did.
Wolf is really
living in the
Karen From
Finance
shadow, and
I--
I can't really see
what Wolf looks
like in drag.
Everythin
g is there.
It's just I'm--
I felt like
I'm missing the
transformation.
Thank you, Karen,
and thank
you, Debbie.
Please hold
my calls.
I'd like to thank
our rugby
team,
the Falcons,
for opening
themselves up
to receive the
miracle of drag.
Now, racers,
while you untuck
backstage,
the judges
and I will
deliberate.
You may leave
the stage.
-Congratulatio
ns, everybody!
-Congratulations!
-Cheers!
-Cheers, b*tches!
I think I want to
say on behalf
of all
the queens, to
thank you so
much.
We could not have
picked a more
fabulous
six people
in the world
to have done
this with.
Oh, God,
amen to that.
I have to ask Craft,
how does it feel
for RuPaul to
tell you
that you are
basically
a woman?
Honestly, it's
incredible.
I think for us
rugby players, we
just--
you know, we get
thrown around,
we get
roughed up,
and then we go
and play rugby.
Ah!
Oh, my God,
she's growing up
fierce,
my bloody
baby, isn't she?
But to come here
and experience
what you
guys are doing,
and that I think
we've--
we have so much
more respect
for you guys and
what you guys
do.
Who do you think
is in the top,
and who do we
think's in the
bottom?
-Well, Kita's
definitely top.
-Yep.
I think I'm in
the top with
Kita, and I
think the other
four are in the
bottom.
Kita's done a great
carbon copy
of herself.
Karen has created
two cartoon
caricatures of
herself.
It was drag family,
"Drag Family
Resemblance."
It wasn't "Create
A Carbon Copy
Clone
Of Yourself."
Well, that's what
I thought, at
least.
Apparently it was.
It depends what
they're taking
as the most
important
thing for this
challenge.
Because if it is
having a clone
of
yourself, I'm
in the f*cking
bottom.
-If it's makeup
skills, I'm in
the bottom.
-Yeah, so, it's--
it's really, I
think,
we're not
gonna know
'til we're out there.
I think at this
point in the
competition,
they're getting
down to
the fine, fine,
fine details.
It's really hard
to tell who's
gonna be
in the bottom
this week.
I got read for
my makeup,
Maxi was read
for not having
finishes
and having
bras showing.
Scarlet got read
for her costume
being way too
simple,
and Art Simone
was told that
this wasn't
really a family
resemblance.
There are
four of us
who could very
easily be in the
bottom.
All right, now
just between us
kangaroos,
what do you
reckon?
Starting with
Kita Mean,
Michelle Visage.
They just
captivate
d all of us.
This is the
best Kita Mean
has ever
looked tonight.
And the paint
she did on Feta
Mean
was gorgeous!
RuPaul: I
agree with you,
Michelle,
the makeup
was fabulous.
Really well done.
Of all the girls,
I bet Feta
Mean
was living her
greatest fantasy.
-Michelle: Yep.
-Rhys, what'd
you think of Kita
Mean?
I think she's
one of the
greatest stories
of this competition
so far.
We're seeing
growth in her.
She's my favorite
to be watching
week after week.
Okay, Elektra
Shock, and Riri
Action.
They were definite
drag family
resemblance,
but I did see
the roughness
in the makeup.
I can't sit
here and say,
"Oh, my God,
you did a great
job."
You know,
refined makeup
is not one of
her greatest
abilities.
I think she
shows great
creativity in
these moments,
when she's
cornered.
Yes! I agree.
It was a
smart move
to go alien for her,
but Elektra
throughout this
competition,
she's been getting
by with the,
"Oh, she's
learning, she's
getting better"
sort of storyline,
and when is she
gonna land on
"I am the queen
of the contest,"
you know?
Not tonight.
All right, up next,
Maxi Shield
and Cilla Wet.
There was
no illusion,
it was just kind
of like walking
material.
But such a
perfect color for
Cilla Wet.
You could see
how much
she was living
her fantasy,
and that part
I really loved.
This is kind
of the most
disappointed
I've been in a look.
The performance
seemed
a little kind
of confused.
I did enjoy the
presentation,
but I would love
to have seen
Maxi Shield
pair her partner
with those jugs.
That is her
trademark,
and that's what
I wanted to see
her in.
All right, up next,
Art Simone and
Craft Simone.
We knew instantly
that she was
doing Priscilla.
The downside
of that is,
she was doing
Priscilla.
Zero family
resemblance.
If my dad
was watching
the show,
he'd be like,
"They look
nothing alike!"
-Thank you, Dad.
-But boy, oh boy,
did they look
fantastic.
-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.
Wonderful effort.
Unfortunately
missed the mark,
because that's
not what the
challenge was,
you know,
no family
resemblance.
Scarlet Adams
and Sapphire
Adams.
Scarlet and
Sapphire,
there were
many elements
about the outfit
that I liked,
but they have
to balance out
the rugby player.
She just put the
rugby player
into tights
and a corset,
and threw
her out there.
Scarlet, as she
always does,
looked stunning,
and then you
would kind of
look over at
Sapphire,
she looked a
little, almost
disheveled,
like she'd done
the first show
and now Scarlet
was just about to
do the second.
You could tell
that Scarlet
knows how
to do her.
-Mm-hmm.
-She just didn't
know how to do
Sapphire.
All right, up next,
Karen From
Finance
and Debbie
From Reception.
They had a cute
relationship,
funny storyline,
but your first
time in drag,
you know,
should be
that moment
where
everybody feels
♪ da-dun-
un da-dun ♪
-Mm-hmm.
-And, um,
Debbie didn't get
that.
Basically saw
a carbon copy
of Karen From
Finance.
You know, I would
loved to have
seen
Debbie's character
more defined.
Karen starts
from a place of a
very clear
concept of
what she does,
in everything
that she does,
and I really
enjoyed
seeing her
this week
with more
confidence.
All right, silence.
I've made
my decision.
Bring back
my girls.
Welcome
back, ladies.
I've made some
decisions.
Art Simone,
tonight you did
the House of
Priscilla proud.
You're safe.
Karen From
Finance,
as you are aware,
we are currently
downsizing.
But you remain
a valuable asset
to the company.
You are safe.
-Yes!
-Yes!
Nice work,
Deborah.
Kita Mean,
you created
Feta Mean,
and now we are
totally addicted.
Con-drag-ulations,
you are the
winner
of this week's
challenge.
Oh, yes!
You've won a
$2.500 prize
package
from House
of Priscilla.
And Feta Mean,
you've won a
$1.500 gift card
-from Daily Jocks.
-Whoa!
Kita Mean,
you may join
the other girls.
Thank you
so much.
Maxi, this week
you let your
shield down.
I'm sorry, my dear,
but you are up
for elimination.
Okay.
Yeah, I feel
like I've let her
down a bit.
-No.
-It was nothing
to do with you.
Still feels
stink, though,
right?
Elektra Shock,
the judges
had a mixed
Riri-Action to
your makeover.
Scarlet Adams,
you delivered
two sassy
showgirls,
but your Sapphire
could have
been
more polished.
[exhales sharply]
Scarlet Adams.
I'm sorry, my dear,
but you are up
for elimination.
Elektra Shock.
You are safe.
-Thank you.
-You may join
the other girls.
Thank you.
I was like, if
I'm gonna lip
sync,
I'm gonna give
them a f*cking
show.
I'm ready to fight.
You cannot go up
against someone
like Scarlet
and not fight.
Two queens
stand before me.
Ladies, this is
your last chance
to impress me
and save yourself
from elimination.
The time
has come...
[thunder]
for you to
lip sync...
[echoing]
...for your life.
-Yeah, girls!
Come on! Whoo!
-Come on!
Drive it up
the guts!
Good luck, and
don't f*ck it up.

-I did my

See you at the bar.
Maxi Shield.
Our love for you
is bigger than
your boobs.
Now, sashay
away.
It's been f*cking
amazing,
thank you
so much.
Thank you.
Maxi!
I'm thick, I'm juicy,
I'm f*cking
You know, I
did my best.
Of course I
wanted to take out
the crown,
but I'm very
proud of myself.
To share this
experience with
these girls
has been
absolutely
incredible.
I'm not gonna
cry, but when
I think about
that, I might cry.
Size, age does
not matter at
all.
As long as
you've got drive
and believe
in yourself,
you can f*cking
do anything.
The world is
your oyster after
this.
I'm really
pretty on radio,
so... [laughs]
Con-drag-
ulations, queens,
and remember,
if you can't
love yourself,
how in the hell
you gonna love
somebody else?
Can I get an
"amen" in here?
Amen!
All right, now
