01x07 - Down Under Talent Show Extravaganza

[bunniefuu]

My queens,

you need to transform these
rugged
sportsmen into lovely ladykins.

-Oh!
-Yes, Carl.

Wet the boobies!

Oh, my God, Dan.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Ah!

If you want to go into the
challenge

thinking I'm wearing a sack
tomorrow,
then be my guest.

You're not wearing a sack,
your drag daughter is.

[dramatic music]

Kita Mean, and Feta Mean,
you just turned it out.

RuPaul: Scarlet Adams and
Sapphire Adams.

Your look is just slightly more
finished.

A little more attention was paid
to Scarlet than Sapphire, I
think.

Kita Mean, con-drag-ulations,
you are
the winner of this week's
challenge.

-Whoo!
-[cheering and clapping]

Maxi Shield, sashay away.

♪♪♪

Girl!

"I had to stand on a stool to
write this."

[all laugh]

Maxi goes home.

She should be so f*cking proud.

Legend. Icon. Diva.

Oh, my God, she signs her name
with a pair of massive t*ts.

I love that!

But, two weeks in a row,
she's been in the bottom.

It was her time.

All right, Maxi, time to go.

I didn't know if you were gonna
win that,
but then you did those splits.

All: Oh!

Ooh, that was really nice.

Well, did you notice
how I didn't do, like, 14 of
them, though?

Wow, Scarlet, you did the
splits!

I thought there was
so much more to drag than that.

I'm glad you're here for another
week.

I can't wait to see what corset
you're gonna wear next week.

Ah! You're such a c**t!

Congratulations, Kita!

Ah, yes!

I honestly think Kita Mean
is the biggest competition at
the moment.

I can't believe you were lost
for words.

Out of all the people onstage,
you were lost for words.

I know.

Everyone else has been in the
bottom.

She's never been in the bottom.

You know, you can't win this
competition
without winning somewhere along
the way.

-Sorry about it, sis.
-[laughing]

-Sasha Velour never won a solo
challenge.
-No.

-She won Drag Race.
-Yep.

Don't count me out just yet.
I am the rash that keeps coming
back.

I want to take this big, old
crucifix
off my head and get out of it.

I'm so proud of us, though,
girls.

-Top five!
-Top f*cking five.

Top four plus Art!

Yay!

-Top four plus Art!
-Top four plus Art!

-Yay!
-Whoo!

It is so important for me
to win this challenge.

-You can have your t*tties back
now.
-Oh, thank you.

-Did they do the job?
-They did the justice to the
job.

I'm finally proving myself.

-How old is that?
-Nine years old.

Ugh!

Oh!

I can win.

-I will win.
-So much quieter in here.

-It really is.
-Holy sh*t.

[laughing] I'll f*ck 'em up.

[engine revving]

RuPaul: The winner of RuPaul's
Drag Race Down Under

will receive a one-year supply
of Revolution Beauty cosmetics

and a cash prize of $30.000.

Tonight, with Michelle Visage,

Rhys Nicholson,

and our extra-special guest
stars,
The Veronicas.

Whoo!

Run it up the guts!

Hey!

It's a new day in the Werk Room.

Ooh!

-[scream]
-[all laugh]

Last week, I had to lip sync for
my life,
and it feels good to still be
here.

-Okay, that was gross.
-Yeah.

All right, let's never do that
again.

Top four plus Art.

[laughing] No, it's top five...
ish.

When we started this
competition,

I wrote down in my notebook who
I thought
I'd be nearing the end with.

[ding]

[all laugh]

-It didn't include Elektra,
unfortunately.
-Ah!

But it did include the rest of
you.

Really? Really.

I'm the most glad that I'm here
with you.

I'm so close to the end.

I have costumes that I know
they're not as good as everybody
else's,

but I just will not let that
stop me.

I will let nothing stop me.

I came here for a reason.

Ru saw something in me,
and he obviously thought that I
had

a chance of winning, and so,
I'm gonna prove to him that I
can.

-[siren]
-All: Whoo!

RuPaul:
Well, she done already done had
hers.

Racers, when it comes to talent,
size matters.

So, if you got it, flaunt it.

-But always leave 'em gagging
for more.
-[laughing]

I have no gag reflex.

-Oh!
-Oh...

-We're doing a talent show.
-No. They only do that on All
Stars.

G'day, g'day, g'day.

Hey!

Ladykins, now, we are just one
week away

from crowning Down Under's
first Drag Race Superstar.

Now, at this point in the
competition,

I feel like I have a good sense
of your charisma, uniqueness,
and nerve.

But now, the time has come
to focus in on your talent.

-Mm-hmm.
-Oh!

That's right, for this week's
maxi-challenge,

we are throwing our first-ever
Down Under Talent Extravaganza!

-Yay!
-Wow.

It's the perfect challenge.

I have more talent in my f*cking
pinky toe
than half these girls.

[laughs]

#DragRaceDownUnder.

Kita Mean, you won
the challenge last week,

so you get to decide the show
order.

Whoa!

Oh, this is too f*cking good to
be true.

Absolutely getting a semi in my
pants.

Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.

All right!

-Talent show!
-This is gonna be really fun.

-Yeah, f*ck yeah.
-I'm so excited for this.

Kita, you have the power.

Kita gets to choose the running
order,
and this is a great opportunity

to throw some of the other girls
that
might be feeling really
confident off.

I think you've got to sort of,
like,
figure out, like,

highs and lows, and like what's
energetic,
or like, what's more--

Also, she could just sabo it
completely.

-Yeah.
-Put yourself in the best spot.

I think I definitely
want to sabo it a little bit.

Yes!

So, where do we want to go?
Chuck me where you want, babe.

I'd like to go last.

Okay, cool.

Do you want to sit on it for a
while?

Well, I do like sitting on it.

Yeah, let me sit on it.

♪♪♪

I am so excited.

I'm bringing a little bit of
magic
to the talent show.

Let's just say, "all will be
revealed."

Oh, no.

[snorting] f*ck it.

Art: Rawr!

Rawr!

What is Art doing?

Oh, my God, this is actually a
workout.

-Is that your talent?
-No, I'm warming up.

It's only just begun.

I think she's gone crazy.

-What are you doing?
-We haven't really had a dance
challenge

where I've got to really
flex those muscles.

I'm wearing-- it's, like,
a very simple black dress.

-Oh yeah?
-With simple hair,

and I'm just sort of telling a
story
through dance.

Uh-huh. Is it drag?

Not traditionally.

She is so confident,
but if you don't look good in
drag,

it kind of defeats the purpose.

I think it'll be different
to what everyone else is
bringing.

-Yeah.
-But we're all...

We're all very different.

I'm excited to perform,

and my gut's telling me
I want to go last,

but so does Scarlet.

Of course.

So, right leg, left leg comes
around.

I'm very excited.

-Yeah, Karen.
-Yes, Karen!

-Whoo!
-Yes!

I haven't really seen
drag queens do pole before.

Can you do this?

I'm gonna follow my gut.

Scarlet wants what I want.

Pretty.

But I'm gonna get what I want.

Just watch.

Scarlet: The room went really
quiet.

Is everyone nervous? [laughs]

Elektra wants to go last
in the talent show.

-Girl.
-"Put me last, put me last."

It might f*ck them up.

Oh, this is gonna be good.

[pop]

Talent show, I'm bloody excited!

-You just grasp it...
-Mm-hmm.

-Not too tight.
-Uhh! Uhh!

Oh, my God.

Time to hit the stage
and do what I do best,

and that's make a f*cking fool
of myself.

-Kita: It's all done!
-Can we look?

All right, girls,
are we ready for the fabulous

RuPaul's Down Under Talent Show
lineup?

[vocalizing drumroll]

Ooh!

-Oh, I'm opening, sickening.
-Ooh.

-I love it.
-Oh, I'm closing.

-You're kidding.
-I like that.

-Is everyone happy?
-I asked to go last.

Well, I put you near the end.

And you spelled my name
with two T's, Kita.

-Oh, sorry!
-Wow.

Ha!

Really?

Why have you done that, Kita?

So, um, I've actually
put Elektra last because

she came and had a quiet word to
me
that she would actually prefer
to go last.

-Mm.
-Ah.

-Did you?
-Yeah.

I'll watch that show.

Get her.

I've got you, honestly,
seeing as came, like, second,

the thought process was,
where do I want to go,

then where does Elektra want to
go?

She asked to go last, so I put
her last.

The reason I wanted to be at the
end is
because I know my piece is so
different.

I'd like it to be quite
shocking.

I mean, in terms of producing a
show,
it doesn't make sense.

No, that doesn't bother me at
all,
'cause I know

I'm gonna crush these b*tches.

-[whip snaps]
-Ah!

sh*t.

So, I mean, whatever.

Do what you need to do, girl.

-Hey, ladies, are you decent?
-Hey!

RuPaul: I doubt it.

I brought company.

Please give a great, big
Drag Race Down Under welcome

to the wh*re that is Raven!

-Oh, wow!
-Ah!

Oh, my God!

-You better werk!
-Oh!

Stop relying on that antibody.

[laughter]

Wow.

Oh, Raven walks into the Werk
Room.

She even looked at me.

I'm a bit tingled,
and it was just so good.

All right, Elektra Shock, come
on over.

-Hi.
-Hi, Elektra.

-RuPaul: What is your talent?
-I'm dancing.

In this competition you've seen
me do,
like, the fierce,

and the heels and the sassy,
and I'm really stripping back.

I'm showing you something a
little bit
softer and emotional, but I'm
excited.

There's moves I haven't done,
and there's muscles I haven't
flexed.

I'm flexing a muscle right now.

-You f*cking better be.
-[laughs]

Oh, my God, you're so hot.

I'm not one of the judges.

I know, but I want you to judge
me
whatever you want.

I was.

You look like a naughty
schoolboy.

-[RuPaul laughing]
-Thank you.

Gorgeous blue dress, the collar
bones,
I was like, "Mm, mm, mm-mm-mm."

Are you surprised you're in the
top five?

Yes and no.

I know I have what it takes to
be a star.

I have been told
my makeup definitely needs work.

I can learn the makeup,
and I can get the right dresses.

I feel like I have X factor,
and I think you see that.

Can't wait to see you
out on that main stage.

Thank you.

All right, Kita Mean, come on
over.

-Say hello to Raven.
-Hi, Raven!

Hello, Kita.

Did you bring that fly over?

-Yeah, probably. Sorry.
-Well, it's 'cause she's the
sh*t.

-RuPaul: Get outta here!
-[laughing]

-So, what is your talent?
-I'm doing quick-change magic.

-Oh, I hate magic.
-Do you?

Kita: Oh, fabulous.

Ru doesn't like magic?

Oh, gosh.

I'm a little bit nervous.

It's really about looking good,
and acting like a fool.

I love doing both of those
things.

Well, good, and you do
a damn good job...

-...at both.
-Oh, thank you.

Now, you won the challenge last
week.

I was looking at everyone else.

I thought they did such a good
job,
so I felt a little bit...

...guilty?

Kita was like... "So I won."

Why? Why is she like that?
I'm confused!

-Tall Poppy Syndrome?
-Don't know.

It's so f*cked up.

I've always had those inner
demons
in my head that try to f*ck me
up.

I would love to just ask you
how you dealt with self-doubt.

When you are in your hometown,
you are one of the top queens.

When you come into this,

you're coming into a place with
every
other top queen from where they
live,

and so, you have to start
thinking
ahead of yourself,

but not second-guessing
yourself.

Usually when you second-guess
yourself
is when you end up messing up.

I can't wait to be mystified
by your "magique".

[blowing] And just like that,
poof!

All right, Scarlet Adams.

So, you brought those shoes
around.
Is that part of your talent?

It is. I'm gonna be doing
some pole dancing.

I'll be doing the Jade Split.

It's an inverted split
off the top of the pole.

Yeah.

It's potentially
a very dangerous thing to do.

The only thing that's touching
the pole
is the inside of my thigh

and the inside of my waist.

If I were to lose control in
that moment,

the first thing that would hit
the ground
would be my head,

followed by my full body weight.

Also, this will be the first
time
I've performed pole.

Have you danced on poles all of
your life?

This is gonna be the biggest
pole
I've ever attempted to climb,
but...

Really?

Maybe have first aid on standby.

RuPaul: You were in the bottom
last week.

It just threw me for six.

I looked around the room, and I
compared
my costume to everybody else's.

I knew it was too simplistic.

That lit the fire under my a*s
to be like,
"b*tch, you need to bring it,"

'cause we're nearing the end
of the competition.

Are there any questions
you've been dying to ask Raven?

Uh, how many mils?
No, I'm kidding.

At this point, I have no idea.

I actually need a refill.

-Oh, the shade!
-I'm kidding!

-We've all been there.
-Did she throw you for a six?

She threw me for a seven.

-I can't wait to see you on that
pole.
-Me too. Thank you.

And make it m*therf*cking rain.

Hey!

Come on over, Art.

-Meet the parents!
-What's your talent?

I'm doing a very serious,
contemplative performance art
piece.

-Oh!
-Which is a commentary on the
media.

So, it's a spoken word?

No, but I will be using my mouth
hole.

Yeah, I have a giant mouth.

It's my second-most talented
hole
in my body,

so I thought I would bring it
to the stage.

So, you will be taking things
out of
your orifice, or putting things
into it?

Um, putting in.

So, you're not very much a fan
of things in mouth holes?

[crickets]

-If it's food.
-It depends on what it is.

-It depends on what it is--
food.
-She is a fan of things in the
mouth.

I am, exactly.

Ru says she doesn't like seeing
people
put food in their mouths.

I think you're gonna be gagging
in the good way.

Okay.

I'm excited for Art
to stuff things in her mouth,

'cause it means she'll be quiet
for a f*cking second.

Raven is a veteran of
the Drag Race franchise.

Do you have any questions for
her?

Any tips for life post- Drag
Race?

My number-one thing is,
do not read comments.

Anything on social media, stay
away from.
I know it's hard to do.

The nasty things people have to
say
that don't even know you.

No.

It's like empty calories.

-You know, it really does not
serve you.
-What's a calorie?

[laughing]

Well, thank you so much, Art.
I can't wait to see you on the
main stage.

Thank you. Thank you, Raven.

All right, Karen From Finance,
what's your talent?

Uh, I am doing a little bit of
clowning
and ballooning for you.

Is that some type of sex thing?

Ballooning, like, balloon
animals?

Exactly.

Kita's taking her clothes off,
Elektra's doing some dancing,

Scarlet's doing some pole.

Oh.

Karen's doing balloon animals.

-You've won one challenge...
-Mm-hmm.

And then you've sort of slid...

What's the deal there?

It's a matter of me not fully
realizing

the Karen From Finance
that I want to exist in the
world.

I feel like I can be clever
when I have the control,

and so it's-- without the
control is maybe
where I'm stumbling a little
bit.

Yeah, or letting that control
go.

Letting the control go.

Do you ever variate
from Karen From Finance and go,

"I'm gonna go sex kitten"?

You know, you're touching on
something
that I haven't really explored
before.

I actually do have one sexy
kind of thing here, I guess.

So make f*cking
balloon animals in it, b*tch.

[RuPaul laughs]

If you were ever going to
just break free and experiment,

it would be now.

Thank you, Karen From Finance.

I can't wait to see you
on the main stage.

Thank you, can't wait, see you
there.

-Alright, thanks.
-Bye.

I have been turned on my head
this week.

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

RuPaul: Ooh, good advice!

I look across, and I'm like,
what the f*ck is going on with
this?

Karen was like...

I thought I could just come here
and be the Karen that I want to
be.

You can.

That's what I'm struggling with.

Would not be precious, French,
street-artist Karen,

it's gonna be Karen the hooker.

It's basically being handed to
me
on a platter,

but they are wanting
something different from me

that I'm not confident
delivering.

Oh!

No, that is-- I'm not doing that
again.

If I sit here and put these
boots on
and, like,

make "f*ck-me" noises, who even
am I?

Ugh, Karen was, like,
really just sitting there,
like...

I'm like, "Just stop."

Just put on the f*cking sexy
outfit
and do you.

You're hot, you're sexy.

Ru is giving us the tools.

Just use them!

All I wanted to do
was twist a f*cking poodle.

The frustration
that I'm feeling in my head

is just sending me
completely out of control.

Scarlet:
Girl, you enjoy that internal
monologue.

Oh, my God.

If I don't pull it off,
which will be likely,

this will be the week that I go
home.

♪♪♪

For today's maxi-challenge,
we are doing a talent showcase.

It's actually my first time
performing pole.

You know, a little bit dangerous
to do it on a world stage.

The vibe has totally changed.

I think people are starting to
realize

that we're getting
so close to the end, f*ck!

I'm very stressed at the limited
amount
of time that we have to get
ready.

Do you need prep time for your
talent?

I'm so nervous, because I feel
like
this is my make-or-break moment.

I don't usually have this much
pressure
on me when I'm about to perform.

I've completely changed my act,

and I'm gonna bring the sexy
back.

Are you second-guessing, um,
the decision to change, or--

No, not at all.

Or you're just not mentally
prepped
properly, or what is it that's--

I honestly just want to get
ready.
I'm sorry, everyone.

Mm-hmm, this is awkward as f*ck.

Don't talk to me!

So, we kept talking to her.

So, Karen, why are you so
stressed today?

I've spent a lot of time
thinking about it,

getting in the right headspace
to do it,

and I'm gonna go out there
and do a great show.

Stay in your head, love,
you stay in your head,

and I will just keep doing my
own thing,
and hopefully get a win.

Elektra, are you gonna feel
confident,
after your little chat with
Raven?

[chuckling]

Have you washed your lips
since kissing the hand, Elektra?

Elektra: Nope.

She might have sniffed that
later on.

I'm feeling confident,
and I think I could win.

I'm gonna go out there and
dance.

None of them can do what I'm
about to do.

Art, after Raven mentioned,
like,
not reading the comments,

have you ever had
any experience in the past

with people being nasty
on your social media?

Oh, my God,
everyone has a f*cking opinion
of me.

Remember the Christmas gig?

They replaced Santa Claus on
Chapel Street
with Drag Queen Carolers.

I experienced hatred.

And then I started getting death
threats.

I was getting countless death
threats.

People being like,
"You f*cking ruined Christmas,"

while I was still continuing
to do the gig.

Like, people would run up to the
car
and, like, threaten me and hurl
abuse.

So, it was a really scary time.

It was heartbreaking.

Me doing something I love
was apparently destroying the
world.

I've had death threats
from within my own family.

-Whoa.
-From, like, out of family.

And I remember my mom
being so scared, being like,

"What if they come to a show?"

Art, is that, like, a religious
thing,
or like, what-- why--

Art: No, it's really sad.

They were, like,
q*eer but grew up in the
country,

and then saw me getting praise
and adoration for being

so outwardly q*eer and open and
accepted,
and hated me for that.

It turns out she was trans,

and just, no one was supporting
her
with the transition.

This person took their life.

Like, it all came out
afterwards,
so it all made sense down the
track.

It's a really sad story.

With Victorian drag,

we take that drag to every
single corner
of the state, every regional
town we can--

safe q*eer spaces to places
that don't normally have them.

For these people to know, like,
there's other people out there.

I want to let you girls know
that if you're, like,

ever feeling really, really run
down,
please give me a call,

and we can talk through it
together.

Rhys: You know, there's a spray

-Ooh!
-It's party girl.

Michelle: Kita gets all the

Now, that's what I call
highlights.

Up next, Scarlet Adams.

Cher's farewell tour continues.

I am serving you classic,
vintage Ziegfeld Follies

I feel like a...

woman!

Rhys: She forgot to shave her

I want the judges to see
that I can do sexy and slutty

but then also be super refined,

super glamorous, super gorgeous.

Rhys: You've seen Liza at the

I feel so strong-- not only am I

-Kia ora, queens.
-All: Kia ora!

-Aussie Aussie Aussie!
-Oi oi oi!

Let's get right to the judges'
critiques,
starting with Karen From
Finance.

Tonight on the runway,
this is really beautiful.

That color is gorgeous on your
skin,
your makeup looks dynamic.

-Your talent was making a
balloon animal.
-Uh-huh.

One.

I loved it, I laughed.

It was just so short.

-You looked great.
-Thanks.

-You were giving us Karen From
Bondage.
-Mm-hmm.

Um...

You were so sexy.

-Did you feel sexy?
-I did.

I felt a little uncomfortable
looking at you, Karen.

Stop it.

I wonder what they're gonna say
at the office Monday morning.

Up next, Art Simone.

I'm obsessed with this.

So dramatic, but it's, like,
quite beautiful and so
intricate.

RuPaul: It is so chic.

I could see it coming down
a Vivienne Westwood runway.

Within the talent show, I didn't
know
what that was, but f*ck, I loved
it.

Michelle:
Most importantly, you look
stunning.

Your hair was gorgeous,
that gown was beautiful.

Ru doesn't like to watch people
eat,
but you weren't just eating
them,

you were cramming them in your
mouth,

so I don't know if that
constitutes
because you,

like me, didn't swallow,
so it was perfect.

[ding]

-Kita Mean.
-You gave us a drag magic show
tonight.

I would call it "dra-gic," a
dra-gic show.

Michelle: It was so fun.

The issues for me were,

it took a long time
to get to that first
quick-change.

And then the outfits were not
great.

I am not a big fan of magic,

but I just love the joy that you
bring
to the stage, and this is
joyous.

It's such a different silhouette
for you

and a different silhouette
from everyone else,

and it's a feast for the eyes.

Thank you.

Scarlet Adams.

Michelle: Wow, wow, wow.

That was mind-blowingly good.

It was frightening. It was
titillating.

We didn't know if you were gonna
break something or--

It was just absolutely
thrilling.

Between the challenge
and this runway, we've seen

kind of the two sides of
burlesque.

I think a look like this
could have easily come out

seeming a little kind of
costume-y
and campy, but it doesn't.

It's just so, like, stunning
and well-put together.

Thank you so much.

Up next, Elektra Shock.

Michelle:
Your dancing was very, very well
done.

I really hope Sia saw that
and you can be in the next
video.

Thank you.

The part that didn't sit well
with me
was the costume,

and the hair was not the
greatest.

I know that you're doing
contemporary
lyrical and you can't wear
shoes,

but it just takes you out of the
element.

This, tonight, however, I'm
gonna say
that this is the best you've
ever looked.

I can see that you're working
on your makeup.

It has the sense of humor
and the glamour-- it's got it
all.

-I think you should be really
proud.
-Thank you.

You know, as I'm sitting here,
watching you all,

I can just imagine the
illustrations
that people are gonna make

-of each of these iconic
outfits.
-Yeah.

Really beautiful.
Well done, each of you.

Now, ladies, with the grand
finale
just one week away,

I want to ask each of you,

who do you think
should go home tonight, and why?

Starting with Karen From
Finance.

I'm going to say Elektra.

She has achieved
so much in this competition,

and if her story came to a close
today,
she could go home happy.

Art Simone.

I would agree with Karen
and say Elektra as well.

I don't think
she deserves a crown just yet.

Kita Mean, who do you think
should go home tonight, and why?

Whoa, this is really hard.

I don't like doing this.

I would have to say...

my sister, Elektra.

As much as I love her and I'm so
proud,

I would see her probably...
a couple of steps down the
ladder.

All right, thank you.

Scarlet Adams, same question.

I would agree with the sisters
and say Elektra.

Elektra, who do you think
should go home tonight, and why?

Art Simone.

I think everyone's started
to make connections

between themselves
and their drag personas

and started discovering
new things about themselves,

and I think Art
is still trying to do that.

I thank you, ladies,
for your honesty.

Now, while you untuck in the
Werk Room,
the judges and I will
deliberate.

You may leave the stage.

So, that runway got a bit
intense
at the end there.

How do you feel?

I was surprised I was everyone's
choice.

[whispering] Like, guys.

I'm the easy target.

I get it.

[mumbling] ...and everything...
mess the hair up.

But the wig was-- it was rotten.

Man alert, man!

I was so surprised when you said
my name.

I don't mean it with any
disrespect.
You know I admire--

Oh, no, I couldn't give a rat's
a*s
what you think anyway.

I actually couldn't hear
'cause I had butterflies on my
head,

but she's got the makeup on,
so... LOL.

Have I let you down?

Well, I was surprised you said
me.

We all deserve to be here,
but if someone has to go home...

Yep.

f*cking awkward.

Um, yeah.

-Well--
-[siren]

Excuse me, what?

Saved by the bell.

The f*cking Veronicas!

Hi, angels, we're
your therapy support dogs today.

Just the uplifting moment we
need.

-How are you feeling?
-Good, it was talent showcase
day today.

I'm so glad they are here,
because I do not want to talk
about

what just happened on the
runway.

Who was the bottom
and who was the top this week?

What the f*ck, b*tch? What the
f*ck?

They want their tea.

Well, I think Scarlet's
definitely
the winner this week,

but who do we think for bottom?

I think maybe Elektra and Karen.

Or Elektra and Kita.

I also got negative critiques.

At least you b*tches all look
different--
we look the same.

[all laugh]

So, angels, who do you think
sitting next to you

deserves the Drag Race Down
Under crown?

The Veronicas are some shady
b*tches.

I'd say Scarlet.

-I would say Karen.
-Oh!

I am gonna say Kita Mean.

She has the best track record
of anyone here.

-Thank you.
-I 100% agree.

If I'm not the winner,
I think it should go to Elektra,

and the reason for that is,
if they don't crown me the
winner,

they're obviously not looking
for the drag queen

that is the most well-rounded,
that could use [no audio].

So, if that's the case, they
would be
looking for potentially the
queen

that has blossomed the most
in the competition, and that is
Elektra.

But if we have any advice,
a well-placed slutdrop

can come in and steal the show
last minute-- it's saved us many
times.

I don't know about a well-placed
slutdrop,

but I have always been called
a well-placed sl*t.

-Maybe a misplaced sl*t.
-Misplaced sl*t, that's it.

Darlings, dry your eyes,

tape up your t*tties
and go out there and do us
proud.

-Yes!
-[cheering]

Thank you so much!

-I kind of want to lip sync now.
-Yes!

Now, just between us kangaroos,
this is a hard one.

I love all the girls,
but let's start with Karen From
Finance.

It just wasn't a full show.

There should have been more.

It was so funny,
but then just stopped so
suddenly.

She did look incredible, she
looked like
the nicest dominatrix in town.

Like the dominatrix you send
your dad to.

Tonight on the runway, her
makeup--

I could lick her face,
it was so beautiful.

-Mm-hmm.
-She looked like a painting.

RuPaul: All right, let's move on
down
to Art Simone.

On the runway tonight,
this was a spectacular look for
Art.

I love the mechanical elements
of the butterflies.

I love the insane idea of using
the foliage as hair.

I take for granted, I think,
what Art does every week.

She ups the ante every time.

Did the show make sense? No.
But did I laugh? My a*s off.

Like, I'm sure it's making
a comment on consumerism or some
sh*t,

but I don't care, I loved it so
much.

RuPaul: Kita Mean.

Kita Mean took two hours
to get to the first dress
reveal.

RuPaul: They weren't the
greatest outfits.

I think, to do that act,
you have to use a certain fabric

that doesn't quite look as good
once it's revealed.

Could it be the right length,
though?

It's kind of Amish stripper,
like, "Ooh,
I'm getting more dressed as we
go along."

Michelle: Tonight on the runway,
this was joy personified.

It was anime meets club kids,
and it was all things drag,

and I was definitely here for
it.

RuPaul: Scarlet Adams.

I gotta tell you,
that pole routine was exquisite.

She gave us a pole dance
in those super-high platform
heels,

with that incredible bondage,
PVC outfit, tucked for the gods.

She didn't allow her ba*ls to
pop out.

-I mean, that's a skill in and
of itself.
-That's quite a skill.

Tonight on the runway, on the
complete
opposite end of burlesque world,

the plumage, to the crown,
to the dangling beading.

She looked so regal.

Very good night for Scarlet
Adams.

All right, up next, the name
on everybody's lips, Elektra.

Michelle: The dance itself was
stunning,
but the drag that went with it
was not.

Tonight on the main stage,
complete opposite.

I think she looks stunning
tonight.

I'm always happy to see that cut
of hair
that's been taken on

so aggressively by small
lesbians.

Week after week, we give her
critiques,

and she comes back the next week
and tries to better it,

and she looks so pleased with
herself
and so confident

standing there in such a fun
theme.

And it made me forget that the
drag
in the talent show was a bit
rough.

All right, silence.

I have made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Scarlet Adams.

Con-drag-ulations, you are the
winner
of this week's challenge.

Thank you so much.

You've won a range of merch
with your face on it,

and a cash tip of $5.000
from Merch Mother.

Thank you so, so much.

Elektra Shock.

This week, you brought the
dance,
but where was the drag?

I'm sorry, my dear,
but you are up for elimination.

Karen From Finance,
you left the judges wanting
more,

which, tonight, was not a good
thing.

Art Simone.

Tonight, your big mouth
might get you in trouble, again.

Kita Mean.

Your quick-change was a
little...
abraca-drab-ra.

Kita Mean...

I'm sorry, my dear,
but you are up for elimination.

Karen, Art, you are both safe.

My first f*cking lip sync,
in that costume, against
Elektra?

f*ck!

I'm lip-syncing against my
sister,
and I do not want to do this.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me

and save yourself from
elimination.

[dramatic music]

The time has come...
[thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] ...for... your...
life!

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

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

Elektra, you danced your way
into our hearts.

Now, go out and shock the world.

Sashay away.

I can't thank you enough
for all you have given me,

and I can't wait for
whatever's coming next.

Thank you.

Kia kaha, girls.

Hey, Ru!

-[New York accent] How you
doin'?
-[all laugh]

Like, you saw what everyone
thought of me in this
competition.

Did it matter? Look where I got.

I'm so glad that Kita Mean was
the one
to send me home. That felt
right, yeah.

I didn't think I'd find myself
here
at RuPaul's Drag Race.

I'm excited everyone
will see me like this now.

Everyone's gonna be, like,
super proud of me,

'cause they were telling me that
I was special, and I just didn't
listen,

and now I know.

I just forgot.

Don't forget.

Everyone better be ready,
'cause Elektra's gonna shock
you, babe.
