- Previously on "RuPaul's
Drag Race Down Under"...
You're all invited
to Muriel's wedding.
- [gasps]
- You need to create a dress
out of bedding.
Rita Menu.
- You were a flower girl.
To really get that character,
we needed to have,
I don't know, flowers.
- Ivory Glaze.
- I don't understand
the silhouette.
You look pregnant.
- !sis Avis Loren.
Condragulations,
you're a winner, baby.
[dramatic music]
- Sorry.
- Wait, somebody...
- I need a first aider on set,
please.
Come now.
- Oh, my God.
- For the safety of our queens,
I'm going to end the show now.
We will begin
next week's episode
with a lip sync...
for your life!
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
[music winds down, stops]
[fly buzzing]
[glass shattering]
[tense music]
- It's a new week,
and I'm ready to lip sync.
This has never happened before,
just two people on the stage
in front of RuPaul.
- This is f*cking it.
I am so past being
a sad little b*tch.
What matters right here,
right now,
is this g*dd*mn lip sync,
and I'm going to turn it.
- Good morning, Rita.
Good morning, Ivory.
I take it everyone is rested
and ready to continue?
Two queens stand before me.
Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me
and save yourself
from elimination.
- I have my stance.
I know where this is going.
Bring it on, b*tch.
[laughs]
- The time has come for you
to lip sync...
for your life!
- m*rder on the dance floor.
Someone's gonna die.
And sorry, Rita,
I think gonna be you.
- Good luck,
and don't f*ck it up.
[Sophie Ellis-Bextor's
"m*rder on the Dancefloor"]
- [singing] m*rder
It's m*rder on the dance floor
You better not k*ll the groove
DJ, gonna burn this
g*dd*mn house right down
It's m*rder on the dance floor
But you better not k*ll
the groove
Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's
m*rder on the dance floor
But you better not steal
the moves
DJ, gonna burn this
g*dd*mn house right down
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
There may be others
And so and so and so
and so and so and so
You'll just have to pray
Don't think you'll get away
I will prove you wrong,
I'll take you all the way
Boy, just come along
Hear me when I say hey
It's m*rder on the dance floor
- Ouch.
- [singing] But you better not
k*ll
the groove
It's m*rder on the dance floor
But you better not steal
the moves
DJ, gonna burn this
g*dd*mn house right down
It's m*rder on the dance floor
- Oh!
Oh!
- [singing] But you better not
k*ll the groove
Hey, hey, hey, hey
It's m*rder on the dance floor
But you better not steal
the moves
DJ, gonna burn this
g*dd*mn house right down
- [laughing]
Medic!
[laughing]
Ladies, I've made my decision.
[tense music]
The winner of "RuPaul's
Drag Race Down Under"
will receive
a year's supply of cosmetics
from Anastasia Beverly Hills
and a cash prize of $50,000.
Tonight with Michelle Visage,
Rhys Nicholson,
and our extra special
guest judge,
Adam Lambert.
[singing] RuPaul's Drag Race
May the best drag queen win
Best drag queen win
[upbeat music]
- It's a new week.
The lip sync is going down
right now.
It's a boom, pow,
pow, pow, pow, pow.
- How do we feel
it's going for them?
- I have no idea.
I hate that we're not
in there watching.
- I want to see it.
- Rapid fire, who's staying?
- Rita.
- Rita.
- Rita.
- Rita, 'cause she's a Kiwi.
- Rita.
- I'm saying Ivory
'cause I think
she has a redemption story.
- And someone needs to.
- Oh, okay.
- Ivory.
- Holly, what are you writing?
- I'm writing two notes,
one to Ivory, one to Rita.
- What does Ivory's one say?
- I'm writing to Ivory
because, A,
she is my Sydney sister,
so I need to send her some love.
"You are so beautiful
and talented
and should be very proud."
But also...
she has this wig
that is really nice.
"PS, can I please borrow
your black braided wig?"
[laughter]
- So you're writing
a letter to Rita now.
- Rita's... [laughs]
- "Dear Rita,
I'm writing this letter
to make it seem like
I care about you."
- Ah!
- I do!
I am writing Rita a note
just to write her a note.
I don't have to have
anything from Rita.
Leave me alone.
- Oh, my God, yes!
[siren blaring]
- She done already done
had herses.
- Who's gonna come back?
Who won the lip sync?
- Oh, no, I didn't finish
writing my notes!
- Who survived?
[gasps] I don't know.
- G'day, g'day, g'day.
[cheers and applause]
Hi.
- Ru comes into the Werk Room,
and he's alone.
Did they both get sent home?
[gasps]
- Hi, queens.
- Hi, Ru.
- Hi!
- Now, I got to tell you,
I was up extra early
this morning
to preside over
Rita and Ivory's lip sync.
Without further ado,
please welcome back
to the Werk Room...
Art Simone.
[laughter]
Rita Menu.
[cheers and applause]
- My girl made it! Yes!
We didn't get to see
what happened,
but I can only imagine
it would have been fierce.
- Welcome back, darling.
- Thank you.
It feels amazing
having another week,
because my story, I feel like,
has only just started.
All these b*tches
better be wary.
- Shantay, you stay.
Ivory Glaze,
your drag future is bright,
and that's money in the bank.
Now, sashay away.
- Thank you, Ru.
My Drag Race journey has been
a roller coaster and a half.
I'm pretty at peace.
Just gave it my best shot.
I tried to stay positive.
And at least I was iconic
in the two episodes I'm here.
Oh, wait, three.
I made three.
I didn't go home episode two.
This is the third episode,
right?
Yes. Work.
Well, sh*t,
I hope the bank's still hiring.
- [laughs]
Now, ladykins, it's time to grab
your Louis Vuitton luggage
and head to the South Pacific,
because for this week's
maxi challenge,
you'll be starring in...
"The Fake Housewives
of Down Under."
- Oh!
- The Slaycation
Reunion Special.
- Ooh.
- Brought to you by Vacaya.
- I'm excited.
I can see it.
I can see the glamour.
- Now, with the help of
reunion host Rhys Nicholson,
we'll be putting your acting
and improv skills to the test.
- f*ck. [laughs]
I'm not much of an actress.
I'm not looking forward to it
whatsoever.
- You'll be working in
two teams of Fake Housewives.
!sis, you won
last week's challenge.
And Rita,
you survived the lip sync.
So this week, I'm making
you two team captains.
All right.
Now, choose your cast mates
carefully,
starting with !sis.
- I just came off a win.
I'm on a hot streak.
Some of us haven't acted before.
Some of us have played around.
I've been acting
for years straight.
Not very well, not convincingly.
But I've done it.
And we'll see how we go.
My first pick will be
Gabriella Labucci.
- Oh. That's convenient.
- I am so happy that
she picks me first.
I'm quietly confident.
This is gonna be fun.
Look out, girls,
I'm coming for you.
- Rita.
[suspenseful music]
- The group that
I am thinking of choosing
is just people who have
potentially had experience
in acting in the past
and will be able
to share that knowledge
onto the group itself.
Hmm.
Bumpa Love.
- [snapping] Hey, baby.
- Another convenient choice.
[laughter]
!sis?
- My next pick
will be Hollywould.
- Hollywould, okay.
Rita.
- So obviously I don't
want to be in Rita's team
because she just came
from a f*cking lip sync.
Rita, don't pick me.
And !sis was there.
Like, "b*tch, pick me.
Pick me."
- Flor.
- But in this group,
I think I have
more chances to shine.
- All right,
we have two girls left.
!sis, it is up to you.
Who do you choose?
You're biting your nails.
- Sacrilege, I know.
- Uhh!
- Uh...
- I don't know!
- [sighs]
- [laughs]
You have to pick one, darling.
- Oh, I'm sorry, Ash,
but I'm gonna go with Ivanna.
- Ooh. All right.
- Hi, girls.
- That means Ashley Madison,
you are on Rita's team.
- Come on, baby.
- Lovely.
- I was picked last.
I'm not mad about it.
These other girls know that
I don't have experience in this,
and I'd love
to prove them wrong.
- All right, now,
tomorrow on the main stage,
we will be joined by our
extra special guest judge.
The amazing Adam Lambert
will be here.
- [shrieking]
- Oh, wow.
[laughter]
- Oh, I had the biggest crush
on him when I was younger.
Oh, my God. I still do.
Melts the c*ck of my heart.
- And on the runway, category
is Bad Girls Gone Bad.
- Ooh.
- I see some h*s in this house.
[laughs]
#DragRaceDownUnder.
Now, there's gonna be
some improv too,
so make sure you listen
to what's being said.
It always helps if you base
who you are acting like,
if you have them in your head...
A specific, particular person.
It just helps.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[cheers and applause]
[upbeat music]
- This week's maxi challenge is
"The Fake Housewives
of Down Under."
- I think we're gonna k*ll
this challenge.
- I hope so.
- I'm excited
for the improv with Rhys.
I think that's gonna be
really fun.
This week's acting challenge
is a little bit different.
It's an acting challenge
where we have a script,
but we also have improv.
With improv,
you need to stand out,
but you also need to make
space for everyone else.
And if these people aren't
delivering, bring them in.
- Character breakdown. Chokra.
Fake housewife of Byron Bay.
Airy fairy crystal queen
who is trying to make a buck.
- Alpha, older sister to Beta.
She doesn't give a sh*t about
hurting anyone's feelings,
especially her younger sister's.
And then Dame Shazza.
- Who seems very hoity-toity.
- She is the investor
the girls want to win over
and has a hidden crush on Beta.
- Ooh.
- I like Alpha.
I would love to have Alpha.
- I like Chokra.
I actually like that character.
I've been in the bottom
last week.
I was safe the first week.
This is good.
I might be able
to actually show the judges
my improv chops,
because I'm a host.
Coming up with jokes
on the fly is my thing.
What do you like?
- I'm more than happy
to be Dame Shazza
if you're happy for me
to be Dame Shazza.
- Yeah, I think
you'll really pull that off.
- Yep, yep, yep.
- I like the look
of Dame Shazza as well.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
It's her decision
at the end of the day.
- I'm happy to literally
be anything.
I don't care.
Whatever you all don't want,
I'll take...
- Mm.
- And k*ll it.
From last week
being a little bit low
to this week being
a little bit c*ck, I...
Yeah, I want this win.
This win is mine.
Ultimately,
I see it's your choice.
- Yeah, look,
I want the team to win,
but I also gotta shine myself.
I helped these b*tches last week
with all of their
terrible outfits.
[laughs]
And I need to make sure
that I'm taking care of myself.
- You're Alpha.
- Yes.
- I'm Shazza. Chokra.
- Chokra.
- And Beta.
- Yes.
I take the role of Beta,
who doesn't have many lines.
But I'm still quietly confident
because it's not about
how many lines you have.
It's about how you deliver it,
but also what you're doing
on camera
when you're not the main focus.
So how do we feel
about the other team?
Like, we know we're good,
but what do
we think the other team
are gonna be like?
- I do feel a bit concerned
because we know that Flor
doesn't really pick up on jokes
that are handed to her.
And in an improv challenge,
that's huge.
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah.
- And the same
with Bumpa as well.
Like, sometimes
you ask her a question,
but she answers it
completely differently
- She goes
a different direction.
- And she loses her way.
- And Rita's not that loud.
This is a challenge for her
to really burst out of herself.
- Yeah.
- She might get a bit
walked over, you know.
She's very quiet.
I hope that she can just
stand up and be like,
"This is what we're doing."
- Acting challenge.
- I'm f*cking stoked
for this team, darling.
I don't think those girls
are gonna get on at all.
Those personalities are
very me, me, me, me, me, me.
- I'm kind of wishing
I was on that team.
I'm really happy
to be with Flor,
but Gabriella, !sis,
Holly, and Ivanna
are all really great people
to be in this kind of
challenge with.
- I'm excited.
I mean, I want to read
what is going on.
- Yeah, I think if we read
through it first,
see what everyone's kind of
feeling the vibe of...
- Okay.
- And then we'll go from there.
- I feel like
I can make acting work.
I've never done improv
in my entire life.
So I'm like, oh, no, improv.
Mm, no.
But I have to try it, you know.
We have to incorporate
the character
that we have in our mind.
That's what Ru said,
so that's what I'm gonna do.
- We have Gwynn,
Fake Housewife of Hamilton.
Surprises everyone
when she arrives on the cruise
straight from prison.
She is flat broke.
She has a face tattoo.
We then have Bertha.
Has tons of money but no class.
- Gemma.
Pretty and sloppy.
She's either drunk,
on pills, or both.
And then there's Poppy,
aspiring untalented pop star
desperate to be famous,
and time is running out.
- I know which one I want.
- I think I've got an idea
as well.
- Yeah.
- I think, like, I'd be worried
about doing something
too close to who I am,
something too glamorous.
So I'm liking the idea of Gemma.
[tense music]
- No. Don't go there, b*tch.
Don't go there.
- Is that what
you're wanting as well?
- I wanted Gemma.
- It's very fitting. [laughs]
- I want Gemma because I think
I can make her work very easily.
- Yeah, she does
sound like you...
- Yeah.
- Which is kind of what everyone
would be expecting.
- Expecting.
- For me,
I would have thought Poppy
would have been awesome for you.
- Yeah.
- Poppy the pop star.
- Yeah.
- Right.
Right. Hmm.
I'll do Poppy.
- Okay.
- You'll do Poppy?
- Challenge.
- Amazing.
- I'm worried about Poppy
a little bit,
but I can make it work.
I can make her work.
- I'd do Gwynn if...
- No, I... I don't...
- Would you prefer to do Gwynn?
- I don't mind either.
- I want Gwynn
because the character's
from Hamilton and 'cause
they're from prison.
I guess that kind of resonates
a few of, like, my family.
[laughs]
So I can kind of, like,
know which uncle or auntie
to kind of play off.
- I'm just wondering, though,
what the smartest role for us
is, you know?
- Bumpa,
you've already got tattoos.
'Cause she's got a face tattoo.
- Mm.
- I can definitely do Gwynn.
I'll be rough as f*cking guts.
I love it.
- Even though
I really want Gwynn...
I think I'm gonna do Bertha.
- Yep.
And I'll be Gwynn.
- I guess I just wanted to be
a bit more of a team player
and let people choose
their own roles.
- Love it.
- It's all set.
Settled.
- Let's f*cking do it.
- Yeah. Let's go.
- Bertha is a big role,
which is kind of the person
that the whole thing
is written around.
And so I'm worried for Rita
because this is her moment
to show the judges
that she deserves to be here.
- People don't hate me
'cause I'm beautiful.
They hate me
'cause I'm spiritual!
- Women want to be me.
Men want to be in me.
- You can pick your nose,
but you can't pick your family.
- I earned my money
the old-fashioned way.
I k*lled my husband.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome to part five
of the Slaycation Reunion.
Our Fake Housewives
recently spent
time together
on a Vacaya cruise,
and things got sea sickening.
Now they're back
to yell at each other
about absolutely nothing.
[overlapping yelling]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ladies, you've never looked
more fake.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Even on vacation,
our Housewives were
all about business.
Let's take a look.
[horn blaring]
- It's the first day
of the cruise,
and I'm so excited
for the launch
of my new line
of battery-free
personal massagers.
Hurry up, you dog.
We're here to impress
Dame Shazza.
With her financial backing,
my battery-free
personal massagers...
- Battery-free
personal massagers?
They're dildos!
- Will make me rich!
- Wait, aren't you already rich?
- Shut up, b*tch.
Oh, look.
- Oh, hi.
- It's that
crystal-wearing clown.
Chokra!
- Darlings, you look so...
Hideous.
Radiant.
I can't chat.
I'm on my way
to meet Dame Shazza.
With her investment
behind my holistic
makeup-free makeup line,
I'm gonna be rich.
- Wait, aren't you already rich?
Both: Shut up, b*tch!
- Alpha, why do you hate
your sister so much?
- Please elaborate.
- She tried to steal my man.
[dramatic music]
- All she does is make me do
all the work.
You don't understand
how f*cking hard
it is to deal with her.
- Well, you know what?
You're not my real sister!
- What?
- Yes.
Mommy was with the milk man.
- Oh, that would explain why
Daddy was always so distant.
- What I like to do is I like
to take a deep breath in,
grab my Vegemite,
and breathe out.
- [groans]
- Did it help?
- No!
- Well, I think
it's safe to say that Alpha
and Chokra's product launches
didn't quite go to plan.
Let's take a look.
[horn blaring]
- It is I, Dame Shazza.
Yes, you may curtsy.
- Good day, miss.
Welcome to the launch
of my holistic
makeup-free makeup line.
I'm wearing some now.
- It's absolutely...
Hideous. [laughs]
Mystifying.
- Can I apply some on you?
- Excuse us.
Dame Shazza,
welcome to the launch party
of my battery-free
personal massagers.
- They're dildos!
- Excuse me, bludger.
Dame Shazza is talking to me.
- Excuse me, clown.
Dame Shazza is talking to me.
- Oh! Oh, stop!
Don't!
S... oh, don't stop. Harder.
Oh, too much.
Oh, but not enough.
- Stop!
That's no way
to treat a regal lady.
- Thank you, dear,
but I can handle myself.
- Oh, I bet you can.
- The business
I'm investing my money into
will be revealed
at the Slaycation Reunion.
[laughs]
I had you.
[laughs]
- Well, wow.
- My decision is to make...
Beta the new CEO
of my brand-new company,
Dame Dildos.
- Me?
All: Beta?
- Me?
- Yes, I'm very excited
to work with you, Beta,
closely, intimately.
- In and around,
uptown, downtown,
turn the beat around town.
- Please turn the beat around.
- Well, I am hard as a rock.
That's all the time we have.
Good night.
[cheers and applause]
- b*tch! b*tch! Ugh!
You f*cking b*tch!
- b*tch!
[shouting]
- Sorry!
- This show is all about
empowering women.
- I'm feeling confident in
what our team has delivered.
Ivanna as Chokra
is a little worrying.
There's that magic that might
be missing a little bit.
- I didn't come here
to f*ck bikers.
I came here
to f*ck your husband.
- If being sickening is a crime,
then put me on the cover of TMZ.
- I'm not drunk.
I'm on pills.
- Sincerity is everything.
If you can fake that,
you've got it made.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome to part 16
of the Slaycation Reunion.
This season,
our Housewives went away
on another Vacaya cruise.
Let's take a look.
[horn blaring]
- So I'm on deck trying
to remember my cabin number
when all of a sudden,
I hear this
blood-curdling scream.
- [vocalizing]
- What is that noise?
- Oh, thank you so much.
I'm warming up
for my big performance
at media mogul
Bertha Murdoch's birthday bash.
When she hears me sing,
she will put me on the front
pages of all her publications
and I'll make millions!
- Wait, you're a singer?
- Yes.
What are you, drunk?
- I only do pills.
- Hey, Gemma, guess
who just got out of jail.
- OJ Simpson!
- No.
It's Gwynn.
I'm out on house arrest.
Check out my bracelet.
It's "Gucki"!
- I am so glad to see you here.
- Are you kidding?
I wouldn't miss coming
to Bertha Murdoch's
birthday bash.
When she hears
all my prison stories,
she's going to put me
on the front pages
of all her publications,
and I'm gonna make millions.
- Prison?
Is that where you got
that hideous face tattoo?
- Oh, this?
Oh, no, I'm from Hamilton.
I've had this for years.
b*tch.
- Ah.
- Okay.
Well, just between
us possum pals,
what does everyone think
about Gwynn's face tattoo?
- Dumbest f*cking thing
I've ever seen in my life.
- I think she needs
a p*nis in her an*s.
- Okay.
Things unconnected
to what we're talking about.
Is that a new song
that you're working on?
- Yes, it is.
I'm doing the remix.
[singing] Tattoo, tattoo, uh, oh
Tattoo, tattoo, available
I'm so amazing.
Thank you so much.
- Now, the night of
Bertha Murdoch's birthday bash
did not go as planned.
Take a look.
[glass clinking]
- I'd like to make a toast
to all my fake friends
who are greedy enough
to make it to my party.
Hey, Poppy, hit me.
- [singing] Fly, fly, fly, fly,
oh, oh
- That was...
- Hideous.
- Wonderful.
- Yes!
- I'm gonna put you
on the front cover
of all my publications.
- Are you drunk?
- Yep.
And I'm also on pills.
- Hi, Bertha, it's me, Gwynn.
- I know who you are.
You're Gwynn, the tax evader.
I'm gonna put you on the front
cover of all my publications.
Both:
We're gonna make millions.
- More like billions.
- Finally, a happy ending in
this sad, pathetic franchise.
Bertha, what happened
since the birthday bash?
- I do have a terrible
confession to make.
Sorry.
- There's no more bread.
You're broke, b*tch.
- I'm broke.
[sobbing]
- Oh, my God.
- Gwynn, what are you gonna do
in this situation
now you're all f*cked?
- Well, actually,
all the money I embezzled,
I put it into a bank account
overseas.
I forgot the account number
and the PIN number,
so I'm f*cked as well.
- Are they written
on your forehead by chance?
- Poppy, what are
you gonna do now?
- Well, I love
my n*pples so much.
- Is that the name
of your new song?
How does it go?
- [singing] Nipple, ha, nipple
ha
Nipple, ha, nipple ha
Nipple, nipple, ha, ha, ha
I love it! I love it!
- In this improv,
Flor is excelling.
She is going HAM,
which is exactly
what an acting challenge
like this entails.
- Well, that brings us
to the end of another season
of Slaycation.
Ladies, cheers to you.
- Well, thank you for having me.
Oh, thank you so much.
[cheers and applause]
- Good night, everyone.
- f*cking b*tch.
- I think we did okay.
But mm, Rita, going down again.
- I've been sober
for three days.
Here's me falling
off the wagon again.
[upbeat music]
- [neighing]
- So it's a new day
in the Werk Room.
- Let's go.
- And I don't know how I feel.
[laughs]
- How do we feel about
the challenge yesterday?
Because just quietly,
I'm feeling kind of confident.
Quietly, I think I've won this.
- Qui... ahh!
Obnoxiously, I think I'm...
[laughs]
- Despite having, like,
a small role,
you really, like,
packed a punch.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
I felt very confident
in what I did
and, like, I feel fine.
- What about you girlies?
How did you go?
- [groans]
I think I struggled the most.
I wasn't that confident.
I know for a fact that I am
gonna be lip syncing tonight.
It's very frustrating
because I've only
just been in the bottom,
and I didn't want
to be there again.
- I'm worried for you,
especially 'cause
in the improv,
there's that moment
where you forgot your line
and I had to jump in.
- Yeah, I did.
Thank you for jumping in there.
I know I can do better.
A small town queen can do it.
Like, look at Spankie last year.
- You were f*cking hilarious.
- Hilarious.
- We love it, girl.
- Thank you so much.
I was actually very worried
about the improv.
I was like, Rhys is here.
Let's just let it go.
- Let's have a go.
- You were f*cking amazing.
I must admit,
I struggled myself.
Upon reflection,
I think I'm in the bottom.
So I'm used to live
performance, live acting.
TV's a whole nother story.
- To be honest,
I don't feel like Bumpa
created a character.
- I will say, I really enjoyed
throwing a drink in your face.
- Thank you for that, Ash.
- I think it was just Bumpa.
I'm not buying it.
Ivanna. Always laughing.
[speaking indistinctly]
[laughter]
Why are you so quiet, mama?
Why?
- I don't know.
I just feel like I'm letting
you have your moment.
I feel like I'm at least safe.
There are so many other girls
who aren't feeling
very confident.
Started a bit awkward.
Ended up getting there
in the end.
We'll see how we go.
- I'm a little bit worried
about Ivanna.
She was a little bit dead
behind the eyes.
- I don't know how tonight's
gonna be judged, ladies.
If it is, you know, one team
safe, one team in the bottom,
sorry, you're in danger, girls.
- It may be individual.
It might be teams.
I think we did well,
but we never know.
- Holy moly, blow me over.
The other team thinks
they did a fantastic job.
I think we're in danger.
- I wonder what Adam Lambert's
gonna think of this.
[all shrieking]
- I hope he sings for us.
[gasps]
- That'd be good.
- But if he doesn't sing,
don't worry, I'll sing for you.
[laughter]
Thank you so much.
- Should we go and paint?
[all cheering]
[upbeat music]
- So, ladies,
I don't know about you,
but I'm kind of excited
for this thing on the runway.
- Oh, my God,
it's villainess runway.
Whoop-whoop!
- The villains are
the most fun to play.
- Absolutely.
- The most fun to do.
- Absolutely.
- Can I hear everybody's
villain laugh?
[sinister laughter]
- You're like
a little chihuahua.
- [gasps]
- [barking]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
- [singing] Cover girl
Put the bass in your walk
Head to toe
Let your whole body talk
And what
[laughs]
I get round of applause?
- Yes!
- We're so proud of you.
- Welcome to the main stage
of "RuPaul's
Drag Race Down Under."
Michelle Visage,
our pal Adam Lambert is here.
- I know!
I do declare that
this is the first time
in Drag Race herstory
that a guest judge
is wearing
more eyeliner than me.
[laughter]
Ever!
- Rhys Nicholson.
Now, what is the key
to a good impr...
- Timing!
[laughter]
The key is...
timing.
- [laughs]
And welcome Adam Lambert.
Now, what brings you
to New Zealand?
- I hear things are bigger
down under.
[laughter]
- This week we challenged
our queens to get real
as the Fake Housewives
of Down Under.
And tonight on the runway,
category is Bad Girls Gone Bad.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[singing] I tell you what I want
Category is Bad Girls Gone Bad.
Up first, Rita Menu.
- Hello.
On the runway tonight,
I am serving you
Riff Raff to the gods.
But wanting to take
more of a feminine take on it
because Riff Raff is an alien...
You can kind of be whatever,
whoever you want.
- Come up to the lab.
- And f*ck me?
- It's amazing walking
in front of Adam Lambert.
I'm hoping
he gets the reference,
and he's so beautiful.
- Do my hips look big in this?
- Bumpa Love.
Queen of the "Damn, girl."
- I am feeling
my beautiful Aaliyah self
waltzing down that runway,
with breast jewelry, no less,
and nails to k*ll.
- Well, I'll be damned.
- I feel like the judges are
making sure I hit my marks,
and I kind of almost didn't.
Bumpa just moves
to the beat of her own drum.
- Up next, Flor.
- I'm serving you Yzma,
one of my favorite characters.
She has a lot of glamour.
And she's very funny,
so I can relate to that.
- I hope you brought enough
poppers for everyone.
Is that mascara?
[laughter]
- I am living
my villain fantasy.
Obsessed with a villain.
Who's a good Eartha Kitty?
- Up next, Ashley Madison.
- With the jokes I tell,
I'm not used to
seeing people
in this many stitches.
- On this runway, I am serving
Michelle Pfeiffer
Catwoman realness.
- [purrs] How ravishing.
- I've taken the iconic things
that we know from
Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman
and I've incorporated them
into this amazing
eleganza of a gown.
I'm giving cat.
I'm giving "rawr."
I'm feeling great.
- Ivanna Drink and a hamburger.
- Well, this runway
is pussies galore.
- Yes.
- This look is inspired
by Catwoman.
I'm in a full body latex suit
and I'm showing off
my curves and my waist
and my big old t*tties.
- Slay check.
- The judges are eating it up,
and I f*cking see Adam Lambert.
[laughs]
He's seeing me in latex.
Hopefully he's turned on.
- I mean, she looks great,
but I had to clean out
the litter tray.
- !sis Avis Loren.
- Poor thing cut herself
shaving.
- This week, I'm paying homage
to my queen,
my Lord and savior Lady Gaga,
as the Countess
from "American Horror Story."
- I am just Gaga
about this gown.
- It's really awesome
because this character
is really misunderstood,
just like us
as q*eer people
are misunderstood.
As the Countess, I have left
blood all over this runway,
because what?
I k*lled it.
- Up next, Hollywould Star.
- I'm serving supermodel.
I'm giving you Black excellence.
I am not the only Aliyah
tonight,
but I am the only one
that matters.
- How's your little head?
- [laughs]
- It feels amazing stomping
my heels on the runway.
No one can tell me that I do
not look like a supermodel.
- Gabriella Labucci.
- Tonight on the runway,
I'm inspired by
Harley Quinn and roller derby.
- She's on a roll
in this competition.
- However,
I walk down the runway.
I give you catwalk in skates,
because I'm treating it
as if it's fashion.
I also pad my a*s out
like a m*therf*cker
because in roller derby, you
don't punch, you don't kick.
You hit them with your hips.
I've got the star on my helmet
because the jammer
in roller derby is the one
that scores the points,
and I'm here to score
all the points tonight.
- Kia ora, queens.
All: Kia ora.
- Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
- Oi, oi, oi.
- This week
you performed as groups,
but you'll be judged
as individuals.
Now, when I say your name,
please step forward.
[suspenseful music]
Ashley Madison.
Hollywould Star.
Ladies, you are both safe.
- Thank you.
- You may leave the stage.
Now it's time
for the judges' critiques.
First up, Rita Menu.
- First of all, I do want
to say that your makeup
is really pretty.
You're wearing
my favorite color.
Can't go wrong
in an animal print.
I think for me, though,
what was happening
was I was losing you.
- You played a nice lady
who was rich.
That's as far as it went.
- It just wasn't quite enough
for me, and I'm very sorry.
But you look beautiful tonight.
- I love your makeup,
and the wig is really weird
and vaginal.
I like it a lot.
- [laughs]
- All right, I'm gonna need
a bump of something.
I need Bumpa Love.
- You were one
of the more bonkers.
Like, you had so much
weird character sh*t
poured on to you in the brief,
and you just accepted it all.
- You believed
in what you were doing.
You were grounded.
You were comfortable.
And that natural performance
was really interesting.
I'm a sucker
for anything sparkly.
When you turned the corner
on the runway, I went ooh!
- This is your color.
It is so good.
Your makeup is so gorgeous.
You look 25 years younger
than your actual age.
- [quietly] Hallelujah.
- You seem surprised
that you did so well.
- I am.
- [laughs]
Up next,
divas to the dance floor.
Michelle.
[laughs]
- Flor, I'm gonna tell you
what I love.
You went 100 miles an hour.
It drove me crazy
in about 10 seconds.
[laughter]
I would have liked to have seen
some ups and downs with it.
- I heavily disagree
with Michelle.
I was here for it.
- I was so impressed.
What inspired that character?
- Yzma.
- Oh, now I'm getting it.
- Oh, Yzma.
Is that what you're saying?
I thought you were saying,
"It's mine.
It's mine."
- It's mine.
- [laughing] It's mine.
[laughs]
I think we found
your catchphrase.
- Oh, my God!
- [laughs]
- It's mine.
- Up next, Ivanna Drink.
- First of all,
I want to give you credit
for trying to push yourself
to a different level.
Needed just a little bit more.
- I just kept losing you.
And you were in your own head,
I think.
- I think the thing
to keep in mind,
drag needs to have an element
of play all the time.
You know, shake it off.
Have fun with this.
- Tonight I can't tell you
how beautiful your figure looks.
For me, I would have loved
a giant ponytail.
It just would have been
the balance you needed.
- Thank you.
- Up next, !sis Avis Loren.
- I had fun with you.
I think once we got
to the improv,
I could see you thinking.
- Tonight, it's really
beautifully ex*cuted.
Love a cold shoulder with
that kind of foreskin sleeve.
I love it.
[laughter]
- It was built to be on stage,
and the stage thanks you for it.
And we are back with,
"She likes the roller boogie."
It's Gabriella Labucci.
- I think you should call her
Gabriella Laboobie.
[laughter]
I love your chest plate so much.
Am I allowed to say that?
- Yes.
- Yeah, is that sexual
harassment if I'm talking
about a drag queen's t*ts?
- I consent, Adam.
I consent.
[laughter]
- Hello, Gabriella Labucci.
- Hi.
- [laughs]
I love that we completely
take you to Italy
and you're just like...
- I am the most Aussie ocker
thing you'll ever meet.
It sends me every time.
- I thought you were
just present and funny.
- You weren't
shutting anybody down.
You weren't stopping
the momentum of the scene.
You were greasing the wheel
and letting it roll forward.
- One thing I'm really
disappointed about you tonight,
though, is why didn't you pad?
- I just couldn't fit
any in the luggage.
My talent was stuffed in.
- It's just so wonderful
and so silly.
I will say that sometimes your
makeup is concerning for me,
mostly in the eyebrows.
- You have a thin face.
If you were to start
your eyebrows
a little bit not
so close in here,
it will change everything.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, queens.
I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck
in the Werk Room,
the judges and I
will deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
[engine starting]
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Safe.
- Safe.
I was surprised
that I didn't get...
- In the top?
- Yeah.
I thought I did a good job,
that I took direction
really well.
I thought it was
a little bit funny.
I'm not really happy
being safe this week
because I know I can act.
And then also,
let's go to my runway.
Hello.
- This outfit is glorious.
- Thank you.
- You look absolutely amazing.
- I looked gorgeous.
Stunnalina.
Linda Evangelista.
Naomi Campbell.
Okay?
Hollywould Star.
- Who do you think's
lip syncing?
- Rita and...
Bumpa?
- Yeah, it's definitely Rita.
And Bumpa just wasn't really
in a character at all.
- Hello.
- Oh. Hi.
- Buongiorno.
- Come in.
- They loved it.
They f*cking loved it.
The only thing that they said
was maybe just
tweak your makeup a little bit.
But you know what?
It's critique that
I'll actually take on board.
- You should be very proud
of yourself.
- Yeah, I think it's mine.
I think it's mine.
I'm so f*cking happy.
- Yeah,
and they loved Bumpa too.
- Yeah, they did.
- Yeah, they loved Bumpa.
- Yeah, I got no
negative feedback, actually.
- Gag, gag, gag.
And she was gagged as well.
- I am halleloo!
- I'll be honest.
I love Bumpa,
but I think it's bullshit.
Bumpa, I don't want this
to, like, come across
any other way, but like,
your... the character
that you presented was very you.
I guess the judges don't know
the Bumpa I know.
And so I watched it
and I was like, this is Bumpa.
- That's the same how I felt.
I am surprised, concerned,
and irritated.
And we're ready to see
something new.
- Yeah, well I didn't say some
of the sh*t that she said.
But I was definitely basing it
not on me but on others,
but it was me, 100%.
I love the fact that the girls
are talking about me.
I'm like... [fake sobs]
No.
Mama's like, keep on talking.
The more you talk, mm,
the prettier I look.
Thank you.
- I just feel like I'm not
performing very well
at the moment.
Two weeks in a row,
I'm getting the same feedback
that I'm just not
putting myself out there.
This isn't who I am.
I'm so comfortable
with you girls,
and I feel like as soon
as the cameras are there,
I just change.
I honestly don't know what is
stopping me from k*lling it.
I know that I can.
I've got the confidence.
But for some reason,
here it's not showing.
- I would really love
for the judges
to see the Ivanna that we know.
- I would love that too,
'cause I'm a fun person!
This... I don't know why
this makes me emotional.
I'm getting frustrated
with myself
because I know
I'm not delivering.
Something needs to change.
I just want a chance to show...
To show... to show myself.
Maybe I need to have
some shots before we go on.
Every day I need to start
with like three shots of vodka.
- I mean,
don't count the chickens
before they're hatched.
- The one thing that we know
in this competition so far
is that anything
can f*cking happen.
- Yeah.
- We never know.
- Now, just between
us kangaroos,
what do you think?
Starting with Rita Menu.
- Rita deserves credit
for really trying
to pick it up a little bit,
but still was only about
halfway to where
she really needs to be.
- Not a good night for Rita.
I thought her makeup
was really gorgeous.
I thought the outfit
was interesting.
I wanted more
from her Riff Raff.
I wanted more
from her fake housewife.
Up next, Bumpa Love.
- Bumpa is another one that
we know can do so much more.
And I think that
she gave us a lot more
in that "Fake Housewives."
You could see her starting
to trust herself.
And she looked gorgeous.
- Let's move on down
to Flor, Michelle.
- Listen, I know y'all can
disagree with me all you want,
but this was just super high
and never came down.
I loved how present she was.
She is really here
to slay this competition.
- Yes, Michelle,
you're absolutely right.
But I laughed every single time
'cause it was so stupid.
- I loved it. I'm sorry.
It is one of those things
that I can't explain.
I'm a dumb b*tch
who loves a dumb joke.
- Yzma.
- Yzma.
It's mine. It's mine.
- Yzma.
- It's mine.
- There's a star quality there.
She's one to watch.
- Ivanna Drink.
- Whereas Flor was having
the best time, Ivanna,
I don't think she was having
as good of a time.
- Maybe she wants to drink.
- She's just thirsty.
- [laughs]
- I mean,
that's a funny thing that is...
Is, like, a lot of the girls
that work in bars,
is that's part of the...
- Yeah.
- Part of the atmosphere.
And maybe, you know,
you take them
out of that environment,
and they don't really
feel comfortable.
- That's true.
- Let's move on down
to !sis Avis Loren.
- She started out really strong
and really funny.
She didn't suck.
She started to die out
a little bit.
- The work in the challenge
was serviceable.
- A star wasn't born.
- No. No.
- A star was serviced.
- Serviced.
[laughter]
- Gabriella.
- Really enjoyed watching her.
Since the beginning,
I've kind of
struggled with her makeup.
So I'm glad I got to say
something about it.
Her eyebrows were fighting
with one another.
[laughter]
- Yeah, well they just
want to meet.
They just want to meet.
- They're not gonna.
- Introduce them.
- No, they're so close,
but yet so far away.
And it worked for the character.
And then tonight on the runway,
how cute was that,
that roller derby
kind of Harley Quinn moment?
The more you get to know her
and the more she does...
She is a superstar.
- Improvising is all
about saying yes,
and Gabriella really said,
"Si."
[laughter]
- Silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
- Where they at?
- Welcome back, queens.
I've made some decisions.
Gabriella Labucci, this week,
you rolled over the competition.
Condragulations.
You're the winner
of this week's challenge.
[applause]
- Thank you.
Me? I'm the winner?
I'm shocked.
Oh, my God. [laughs]
I'm so stoked.
- You've won a $5,000 gift card
thanks to Vacaya,
the all-LGBT vacation company.
You can visit
your motherland, Italy.
[laughter]
You may join the other girls.
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Grazie.
- [laughs]
[suspenseful music]
Bumpa.
Flor.
!sis.
You are all free to slay
another day.
You are safe.
- Thank you, Ru.
- You may join the other girls.
- Call me, Adam. [laughs]
- Rita Menu, Ivanna Drink.
I'm sorry, my dears, but you
are both up for elimination.
Two queens stand before me.
Ladies, this is
your last chance to impress me
and save yourself
from elimination.
- Hearing the same feedback
two weeks in a row
has really lit a fire
under my a*s.
I want to show the judges
that I've got high energy
and I am a fun time.
I'm Ivanna f*cking Drink.
- The time has come
for you to lip sync...
for your life!
- I am ready
to f*ck this song up.
It's an Adam Lambert song,
and I'm literally performing it
to Adam Lambert.
I couldn't have asked
for anything better.
- Good luck,
and don't f*ck it up.
[Adam Lambert's
"Holding Out for a Hero"]
- [singing] Where have all
the good men gone
And where are all the gods
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero
till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
and it's gotta be soon
And he's got to be
larger than life
Larger than life
- This is such a powerful song.
- [singing] In my wildest
fantasy
- Ivanna is playful with it,
and Rita is giving
such a strong presence
and, like, power behind it.
I don't know
what's gonna happen.
- [singing] Yeah, I need a hero
- Whoa!
- [singing] I'm holding out for
a hero
till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
and it's gotta be soon
And he's got to be
larger than life
Larger than life
Through the wind
and the chill and the rain
And the storm and flood
I can feel his approach
like a fire in my blood
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero
till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's got to be
fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero
till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
and it's gotta be soon
And he's got to be
larger than life
Larger than life
[cheers and applause]
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
Rita Menu, shantay you stay.
- [sighs]
- Thank you.
- You may join the other girls.
- Love you.
- Ivanna Drink, you've made
the world thirsty for more.
Now, sashay away.
- Thank you.
I didn't have an exit line
'cause I didn't think
I'd need one.
Bye!
[sighs]
I'm feeling disappointed.
I had high standards for myself
and I didn't meet them.
I don't regret what I've done,
but I wish I could have
done more.
I didn't get to show who I am.
- Hello?
- Good news.
- Yeah?
- It wasn't a sewing challenge.
- Remember,
it's not about how you do.
It's about being there
and it's about people
enjoying you.
And I'm sure they will.
Very proud of you.
And no matter what happens,
you've done yourself very proud.
So well done.
- Thank you.
I'm not gonna win $50,000,
so I may as well try
and steal $50,000 worth
of sh*t, right?
The cherub is coming with me.
- Condragulations, queens.
And remember,
if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell are you gonna
love somebody else?
Can I get an amen up in here?
All: Amen.
- [laughs] All right.
Now let the music play.
[singing] Playing with
the game of love
[RuPaul's "I'm a Winner, Baby"]
Winner, baby
Baby, I'm a winner
Next time on "RuPaul's
Drag Race Down Under"...
It's time for the Snatch Game.
[all cheering]
[upbeat music]
It's a beard.
All right.
- Votes for women,
'cause they deserve to vote too.
- Okay.
- Your face looks
like a twat waffle.
[horn blaring]
- I mean, look who f*cking
turned up to the competition.
- You had such a beautiful flow
and elegance.
- There was no character
in your character.
