03x06 - Drag Brunch

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on "RuPaul's
Drag Race Down Under,"

as two competing girl groups,

you'll be singing and dancing
to the original song

"BMX b*tches."

- Ooh.

- ♪ B-B-B-B-B, B-B-B-B-B ♪

♪ B-B-B-B-B-BMX b*tches ♪

- Bumpa Love.

- I think you were
clearly struggling

a little bit with the chor-e.

- Ashley Madison.

- I see you kind
of second-guessing.

Like, "Is this what's next,
is this what's next?"

- Hollywould Star.

- It was so much fun
watching you just smash it.

- Thank you very much.

- Condragulations,
you're the winner

of this week's challenge.

- Bumpa Love, shante, you stay.

Ashley Madison, sashay away.

[tense music]

- Here it is, Bumps.

- Ashley is gone, and
I'm actually a bit sad.

She has a lot to say, and she
brought so much to this cast.

- Cheers.

XO XO, Ash.

[together] Ohh.

- Hearing the judges
say they haven't

been seeing my confidence
has really shaken me.

But I know I can be stronger.

I know I can do better.

- It's going to get harder
and harder each week.

- Ashley won last week, and
she's going home this week.

- Yeah.

It's crazy.

- It could mean
anyone can go home.

- I like that you're just looking
to Hollywould who's just won.

- She just won!

- You've got $5,000.

- I know. Yes.

- She's got the cash.

- I'm very excited about that.

Yes.

- You have to share
with your friends.

- Do I?

- Mm-hmm.

- I don't know about that.

- I have two wins, and I can see

the top three in my future.

I can see the crown.

I do feel a lot of pressure.

- Please lead, yep.

- You know, but super excited
and hope I can get another one.

- I need one.

I need f*cking one.

- Come on.

We need to get
it this week, girl.

- We need to get one.

We need to get it.

- No more nice Flor.

This is the time for me
to wake up and bring it on.

- Can we take this sh*t off
of our bodies now, please?

- I'm here to f*cking compete,
and I hope they're ready.

- Can someone unzip me, please?

- There's only
five of us left here,

so the pressure is getting
more and more intense.

- Like, I really
put a lot of... ah!

- You need to go harder...

- f*ck.

- and harder.

- Ahh!

- each and every single day.

Because if you're not
giving, you're going.

[dramatic 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, Amyl and the Sniffers

lead singer Amy Taylor.

- [singing] RuPaul's Drag Race

May the best drag queen win

Best drag queen win

- Yes.

[together] Surprise!

- New week in the Werk
Room, and I've made it top five.

[laughs] It's a blessing.

- Who hasn't lip synced?

- Who hasn't?

- You biatches.

- You haven't.
Yeah, you haven't.

- Bring it on.

- I haven't been in the bottom.

- Neither have I.

- Oh, this week, darling.

[laughter] - Don't
worry, darling.

Don't you worry.
- Oh, this week.

- I hope not too.

I would love to make it to the end
without even touching the bottom.

But if I have to, I will.

- Oh!
- Good day, good day, good day.

Hey, ladykins.

[together] Hi.

- Now, whether it's
singing, dancing,

or straight-up buffoonery,

Down Under's next drag superstar

needs to use what she's
got to get what she wants.

For this week's Maxi Challenge,

you'll be showing off
your individual charisma,

uniqueness, nerve, and talent
at our annual drag brunch.

[together] Oh.

- A brunch.

- #DragRaceDownUnder.

Hollywould...
- Yes.

- because you won
last week's challenge,

you get to determine
the running order.

[together] Ohh.

- Oh, here we go.

- She's about to get savage.
- [laughs]

- Later today,
you'll receive advice

on your performance
from Rhys Nicholson

and the hilarious Bree Tomasel.

- Cool.
- Oh, amazing.

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

[all cheering]

- Are you excited about
this week's Maxi Challenge?

- Ahh.

- It's a talent show.

I mean, it couldn't be
more perfect for me.

I'm going to be singing opera.

- Oh.
- And I wrote a song.

- This is something that I
know that I'm going to shine at.

I have been doing my talent
since the beginning of time.

I guess, in a way, I
don't have any props

or anything like that, but I
think it's going to be good.

- I'm going to be hula hooping.

- Hula hooping?
- Awesome

- We're jumping
through some hoops.

- I'm a professional hula
hooper from way back, so...

- Oh, professional.

- You've got so
many hidden talents.

- Absolutely.

- Well, I'm doing a
performance that I've

sort of constructed around
a song that I've chosen.

But I want to keep it kind of
vague so people are surprised by it.

- !sis is definitely
stiff competition.

She's been
consistently in the top.

Whatever it is, it's
going to be beautiful.

I guarantee it.

- What are you doing, Bump Bump?

- I am quietly...

No, I'm not even quietly.

I'm really confident in
what I've decided to do,

and that's stand-up.

- Awesome.

- Which I've never
done before in my life.

[record scratch]
- No.

But when we work
together and you're

talking to the audience,
you're always cracking jokes.

You're always talking to them.

So you've got enough
stuff in your arsenal.

You could really,
like, take this.

- That's what I'm
going to channel,

and I'm going to do it
f*cking as confidently as I can.

- I'm not saying this to get
in your head or anything...

Previous people on
seasons of "Drag Race"

that have done stand-up...

- Yeah, have gone... -... have
bombed and bombed hard.

- Yeah.
- I just want to make sure you're 100%

confident in doing this.

- The more I'm kind of thinking about
it, it really is sitting well with me.

I'm like, sh*t, I've got that.

Oh yeah, I can do that.

Oh, I'll do that too.

- Hit us with some of your material.
- Yeah.

- Oh, ideas about what is a
drag queen really good at?

She's really good
at being a b*tch...

A B-I-T-C-H...
And then I just got

these jokes that I was
going to figure out after that.

- Bumpa, I think
you're in danger, girl.

She's got a lot of
workshopping to do here.

- Do you guys have
a preference of order?

Like, what are we thinking
Holly is going to do?

- Well, I do, but I
reckon she's going to do

whatever the f*ck she wants.

Do you know what I mean?

I want to be first.

Because in my mind, I'm
thinking I've got to show

the judges I'm confident.

Start with a bang.

- I think my number would be
a great opener, a great closer,

a great middle.

I literally don't
care where I am.

- [whispering] Do you hear that?

I should probably
be tactful about this.

- I think so.

What number do
you want for yourself?

- I want to go last.

- Oh, clever b*tch.

- This is a lot of
power that I'm holding,

and I'm going to do
what's best for me.

- Are you going to ask them?

- Oh, no, I'll just say I
already have the order.

[laughter]

This is a competition after all.

It is to the nitty-gritty.

If people don't like it,
they can just deal with it.

- Life's not fair.

[laughter]

- I am fizzing at the
bunghole to be here.

- Yeah, great!

- Yeah.

- Oh!

- Hello.

- It's time for my rehearsal
with Bree and Rhys,

and I love that Bree's here.

I have seen her on social
media so much before.

- Brianna.

- She's a dirty b*tch.

I love it.

- What are you doing for this
variety show performance?

- I've been playing
it up to the other girls

that I have ten years'
experience of hula hooping.

- Oh my god.
- Good.

- And I have had a
hula hoop probably

for more than ten years.
- Yeah.

- Oh, I just think it's
funny to make them think

I'm going to be doing
something super-duper

fantastic with these hoops.

But in actual fact,
it's just a piss take.

I'm just here to be a dickhead.

- Let's have a look.

[upbeat jazzy music]

- So the idea is, the
last one knocks me out.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Got it.

- I'm done.

- I would say,
it's a funny joke,

but it's all kind of one joke.

- Yep.

- You've got this segment
of time to do a performance.

Crowbar in as
much sh*t as you can.

Like, just keep adding
and adding and adding.

It doesn't need to be just
like, "I'm doing hoops."

- I don't really know
what else I can add.

- Have you thought about fire?

- I don't really know
what to do here.

- So I'm going to do CPR...

- OK.
- OK.

- With Roberto.

- Mouth-to-mouth, or?

- Absolutely.
- OK.

- Yeah.

- What in your life made you
think that this was something

that you could perform for us?

- I'm a nurse.
- Oh.

- Yeah.

I work with people
with dementia.

- Oh wow.
- Oh my god.

Amazing.
- Yeah.

- Amazing.

- I want to make them
laugh, but this is important,

because I'm teaching
them how to save a life.

Hit it.

[upbeat jazzy music]

It's not the timing that
I want with the music,

so it's just not...
With the rhythm.

But...
- Yeah.

- So I'm going...

I'm doing like the five
steps with the music.

- I...

- OK.

- My first thought is,
it wasn't clear what

was happening at times.

- OK.

- Would you ever
talk through it?

Like...

- Right, yeah.

- to kind of explain
what's going on.

- That's a good idea. I
think I'm going to do that.

Yeah.

- Being with Rhys and
Bree, I felt confident.

- I didn't know
you were a nurse,

and I think that's a great
side of you for us to see...

Is to see you in control
of a performance

of you doing something
that you do for a job.

- Yeah.

But it just worries
me a little bit,

because it's a lot
of ideas and aspects

that I have to deliver
for this challenge.

- Harness the crazy.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I have to manage that.

- Reel it in.

And if you can reel
it in and bottle it up,

it's like lightning in a bottle.

- I'm doing a performance
that is about whenever

the storm gets rough
and it's raining on you,

you can still
stand there strong.

- Yeah.

- It's a lot about
mental health really.

- Yeah.

- I've been on a long
journey working on myself,

and this is part of it.

This week, I'm
really taking a risk.

Because it's not like a
funny ha-ha situation,

which is usually what
a brunch would entail.

It's more about my
message and sharing

my story so other people
know that they're not alone.

I'd also I like to
spend a little time, like,

for the introduction part of it.

- Yeah.

- Because I think context
for this performance is...

- Key.
- Mm-hmm.

- Especially if I'm going
to be going after a comedy

piece or another piece
that's a very different energy,

to bring the audience
into the sort of world

that I'm going to inhabit
and then, like, let it blossom.

- Yeah.
- That's a great idea.

- I'm going to have
to really change

the energy in the room for
people to be ready to connect.

That's the crux of
my worry right now.

- I don't know if the
intro should be like,

all right, everyone, like,
things have been hard.

Like, lightheartedly say
this might be a little bit heavy.

Does that make sense?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- Not starting from
a place of darkness,

because that will be...

- Do not have a jerk reaction.
- Yes.

Have a smooth transition. I see.

- 100%.

- You've got this.

- Yeah.

- So, listen, the girls and I,

we talk about a lot of things
on the way to the studio,

on the way home.

- I am showing Rhys and
Bree what I've got so far.

One of the things that
we talk about a lot is dogs.

You want confidence,
it's a-comin'.

One of my first dogs,
her name was Matilda.

Now, Matilda, she
was what I would call

a squatting-looking pisser.

This is Matilda.

Psssss.

Matilda, that's how she pisses.

And actually, true fact, that's
how Gabriella Labucci pisses.

[crickets chirping]

And I've got a
few more of those.

- My first thing I would say is,

comedy comes out of brevity

and kind of getting to
the next thing as quickly

as possible so there's not
these weird gaps of us going,

uh-huh, yes.

- I am taking on
everything they're saying,

and I'm writing it
all down as well.

- I think what could help
you is maybe leaning

more into the roasting.

- The roasting of the queens, I
think, always is funny if you can hit it.

The library is open for
you in this challenge.

- It makes heaps
of sense for me.

Because I had so many
shades for all of them

for the reading, and then
three of them had left.

- Yeah. [laughs]

I mean, that... that's really
funny, Bumpa, to say that. Like...

- Yeah.

- that's a really
funny read that kind of

slides under and then
stabs three women

in the neck at the same time.

- Just roast the
queens. Like, great, I will.

- So you have
the power to create

the running order of the show.

Do you have an angle?

- The first spot is
probably a tricky spot.

Because I'm like, do I
want somebody strong

to be in first...
- OK

- or do I want to
put someone there...

- Do you want to be shady.
- Yeah, like...

Well, you know, the competition
is getting down to the nitty-gritty.

So, you know, maybe I should
put someone there that I think

may not be as
comfortable going first.

- Keep in mind, you
are putting together

a show that you are also in.

- Yes.
- And you're only going to be

as strong as the show
that you're inside of.

- Yes.
- And so my advice...

- Yes.
- Would be you close with your gold

and open with your silver.
- Yes.

- And kind of let
everyone else in the middle

speak for themselves.

- Ultimately, I want
the show to be good.

I'm going to take their advice.

- Bumpa wants to go first,
and I don't know if that's

the greatest spot for her.

- OK.

- I think I'll pick
!sis to go first.

Her and I would be the
strongest performers I think.

- By opening and closing,
you're keeping yourself

furthest away from
each other as well.

- Yes.
- So it's not...

We're not directly comparing
you to either, I don't think.

- Yeah.

- Sorry, Bumpa Love, honey,
I'm not going to put you first.

- Oh, here she is.

- Oh.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Glowing.

- How'd you go?

- Were you able to get any
advice from Rhys as to the lineup?

- I have decided
with a lineup I think.

I would like !sis to open,

because I know you'll be strong.

I think Bumpa
next, Flor, Gabriella,

and then I want
to close the show.

- OK.

- Is this open to
suggestion and critique,

or is this what you
definitely want to do?

- Um, I think that's
the order. Yeah.

- I know that I'm more
than capable to open,

but the energy of mine
would be best suited

to somewhere in the middle.

- I mean, would
you go first then?

- Hollywould doesn't
want to put me first.

And I'm like, why?

- I am going to
reiterate that Bumpa

did say she wants to go first.

But if you would like me to
go first, I'm happy to go first.

- I think Bumpa opening,
if it started there and just

went uphill from
there, it wouldn't be

the worst thing in the world.

But it's not my call to make.

- Um... [clicks tongue]

I want something
very strong to go first.

- So you're saying
I'm not strong.

- No, I'm not saying
that you're not strong.

I just think that... -
Well, it sounds like it.

- Well, I just think that didn't

really know what you were
doing until you got in there.

And so I thought it
would be safer for you

probably not to go first.

- I see. So to give me time?

- I don't know. You
can kind of think of it

as time, but we kind of all had
what we were going to do before,

and you're kind of still not certain
of what you were going to do.

So I feel like going first would
probably be a hindrance to you.

Bumpa looks plucked.
She looks pressed.

She's acting like I am
throwing her under the bus,

and I'm not.

- If I wanted to throw
her under the bus,

I would give her first.

- I mean, you can
go first if you want to.

- Well, no, I hear where
you're coming from.

And you're right.

You know, I had to change gears.

- Yeah.
- So yeah.

No, I'm fine with
Gabby going first.

- Do it.
- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- All right. So you're first.
- All right, yeah.

- I've had to prove myself
many times, but bring it on.

Get in there and give
them a good show, Bumpa.

[dance music]

both: Isn't it just.

[laughter]

- It's Drag Brunch day! Yay!

I'm really excited, because...

No, I'm not excited.
I'm a little apprehensive.

I was going over
my stuff last night...

My little intro to make
sure I had the down pat...

And I was a little tired, but
I'm ready to hit the stage.

- Um, I went home
and did f*ck all.

My strength is in
responding in the moment,

and I hope that just
having a good night's sleep

is going to help
me in the long run.

Rhys did say it's a
good performance.

It just needs
that little bit more.

So hopefully everyone
else is just average

and I can just coast
through in this one.

[dance music]

- Oh!

There's a grasshopper
on my thing. Oh!

Where's it gone?

- Hey, sugarplum.

- Hello.

- How are you?

- Uh, I'm OK.

- You're OK.
- Mm-hmm.

Well, I don't know.

I think this is the first
time in the competition

that I am this worried.

Doing it live in front
of RuPaul, English.

- Yeah.

- If I don't deliver it well,
I'm going to the bottom two.

I feel like I'm going
to get the microphone,

and I'm going to start,
like... blah, blah, blah.

So they won't understand me.

So that is the thing
that is worrying me.

- You just have to
remember to have fun.

Don't take it too seriously.

You have such a natural
charisma to yourself.

And I think if you're having
fun on stage, like, that...

- They're going to have fun.
- Yeah.

Oh, our little
orange faces. Ooh.

[laughter]

- How has your stand-up
set gone, Bumps?

Are you feeling confident?

- Yes, I kind of love what I've
come up with under duress.

[laughs]

I'm going to laugh at myself.

Whether anyone else
laughs, who knows?

- Well, as long
as you're laughing

and you're happy and proud
of what you're presenting,

that's the most important
thing, you know?

- Well, you know, a
lot's on the line for...

I know for all of us.
- Absolutely.

- Gabriella Labucci...

- Mm-hmm?

- how did you get your name?

- So once upon
a time I used to be

in a bit of a circle of people
who would go to festivals

quite regularly, and
a particular person

in this circle is there
smoking this joint.

And he goes,

I feel like Gabriella
Labucci smoking this joint.

- [laughs]

- And I had a Google,
and it didn't exist.

So that's how I got the name.

- Are you actually Italian?

- No.
- Oh.

- No, I'm not.
- Are you actually...

- Oh, that makes
it even funnier.

- I would like to just
make a very quick apology

if any Italian person has ever
been offended by Gabriella Labucci.

But it's all in good fun.

It's all in good humor.

- Flor, yours is very unusual.
- Why?

- I'm curious to know
what Flor means.

- So Flor obviously
means flower in Spanish.

- Oh!

- Yeah.

But that was my

biological mother real name.

- Oh, that's lovely.

- Yeah.

- When my mother
was carrying me,

she had a high blood pressure.

- The doctor was like,
they couldn't find a way to,

like, you know, help her?

So they talked to
her and my family,

because she was
not going to survive.

They asked her, like,
this a lot of problems,

and you have to make a decision.

It is either you or your baby.

And then... oh my god.

[sniffles]

[gentle music]

And obviously

she just didn't survive.

Like, she didn't
even, like, know me.

Like, she shared the love...
Shared the love with me.

She's a hero.

- Yeah.

- Obviously, I just want to
make the people happy as well.

- You're honoring her.
- Yeah.

Like, she will always be
with me and in my drag.

- Yeah. She's
always a part of you.

- I hope I know that
wherever she is in the universe

she's insanely proud of you.

Insanely proud.
- Yeah.

- And you're doing
her name justice.

My heart's f*cking
breaking for the poor girl

hearing that her mother
had to give her life

for Flor to have hers.

- I got to give you a cuddle.

I got to give you a cuddle.
- Oh, I don't want to cry.

- No. Don't cry. Don't cry. No.

There's too much makeup on.

- We love you so much, baby.

We're so incredibly
proud of you.

- It's a really powerful
moment in the Werk Room.

I'm really thankful that Flor's
opening up and sharing that with us.

- We love you, honey.
- I love you.

[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]

- [singing] Cover girl

Put the bass in your walk

Head to toe

Let your whole body talk

[applause]

And what

Welcome to the main stage of
"RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under."

Michelle Visage...

Now, I'm taking
everyone's brunch order.

What can I get you?

- Well, because
I'm celiac, no gluten.

But also the AIP...
So no nuts, no beans,

no seeds, no legumes, no dairy...

- Yeah.
- No sugar, and no nightshades.

So...

- So what's your order?

- Water with lemon.

- [laughs] Coming right up.

- Thank you.

- Rhys Nicholson, how
do you like your eggs?

- Well, my partner and I are
thinking about starting a family,

and we're planning ahead.

I'm a working girl, so
I like my eggs frozen.

[laughter]

- And our rocking extra-special
guest judge, Amy Taylor.

Amy, are you hungry?

- Ru, I'm starving.

And I'll eat anything
cooked in your lovin' oven.

[laughter]

- This week, we challenge
our queens to enter-taint us

at the "Down Under Drag Brunch."

Racers, start your engines.

And may the best drag queen win.

- Welcome to the Down
Under Drag Brunch.

First up, Gabriella Labucci.

[upbeat jazzy music]

- Whoo!

Holy cow.

Whoo.

Ahh.

Both: Wow.

- 1, 2, 3.

- And go!

Yeah!
- [laughs]

- No hands, Mom.

- I don't know what's
happening on stage.

She's pretending to hula hoop,
but the hula hoop is not working.

- Oh my god, how embarrassing.
It wasn't on me the whole time.

- Darling, that is not funny.

- Whoo! Ohh!

- Oh, we tried. f*ck that.

Men, let's do it.

Oh, yes, more!

More! More!

Oh! Oh, you hit me!

You hit me! You hit me!

Ahh! Ahh!

I'm fine.

[crickets chirping]

- I'm looking at
Gabriella like, OK.

- Ten years of experience.

- Oh wow.

Up next, everybody
say Bumpa Love.

- Hello, hello, [indistinct]!

- Hi.

- My name is Bumpa Love.

Everyone say Love.

[together] Love!

- Now, welcome to
our annual drag brunch.

I'm here to entertain you.

Now, listen, the more you
drink, the prettier I'll look.

So please, drink lots.
- Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm positive.

You're going to need it.

Now, the girls and I, we
talk a lot about our dogs.

We all love dogs.

So I thought, you know what?

What would the girls look
like if they pissed as dogs?

- Ahh.

- Our beautiful
Gabriella roller-skates

around the Werk Room,
so this would be her

as a Dachshund taking a piss.

Psssss.

- Ooh.
- Oh, very me. Falling apart.

- Very moveable.

- Yes, and I think, !sis, you'd
only piss diamonds to be honest.

It'd be like this...

Pew!

All the way to Melbourne,
where you should go today.

[laughter]

- What the f*ck is going on?

It's funny but for all
the wrong reasons.

- What kind of dog would you be?

- Oh, I think I would be a very,

very long, tall, sausage dog.

Because I love to go into holes

and come up looking white with
things bursting out of my head with joy.

- [laughs]

Now, take a pee.

- Pardon?
- Take a pee as that dog.

- Pick a pee? I will.
- No, take your pee as that dog.

Piss.
- It would literally go like this...

- OK. Oh.
- Straight out of my head.

Both: Oh.
- Or out of the doggy's head I would say.

[quirky music]

- Oh, Bumpa.

- It has been lovely
seeing you all.

My name is Bumpa Love.

Don't forget, pull up
to my bumper anytime.

- Yay!

[laughs]

Coming to the floor, it's Flor.

- Welcome to brunch.

I'm hoping you're
having a good time.

Now, in case of an emergency,
please evacuate this place.

And how do we do that?

As quick as you f*cking can.

[laughter]

Now, keep drinking and
drinking and drinking mimosas.

Because as she say,
the more you drink,

the more realistic, funny,
and beautiful I'm going to be.

But if I start looking like Bumpa,
please have a glass of water.

[laughter]

So now I want to introduce
to you my beautiful assistant.

Rhys Nicholson is here.

Say hi.

Hello.

- Look at those abs.
- Yeah.

- So we are going to show
you guys how to do CPR

with five easy steps over here.

Rhys, please lay
down on the floor.

Let's hit it.

[upbeat music]

[laughter]

A person is on the floor,
because he just choked.

Number one, call emergency.

Number two, make sure
the person is on the floor

and check their airways.

Not that one. [laughter]

Mouth, checked.

Nose, checked.

Number three... if the person
is not responding or breathing,

start CPR.

Excuse me, sir, can
you tell me that I'm

the most beautiful b*tch?

Oh! Excuse me, sir.

Oh, he's not responding.

Start CPR with number four...


and 2 rescue breaths.

Go for it.

[doll squeaking]

[laughter]

- Flor looked so funny
flapping her little boobies around

and teaching us about CPR.

I am so proud
watching her right now.

- Make sure that you repeat
this until the ambulance comes.

[laughter]

The ambulance has arrived.

[together] Yay!

- And that's how you do CPR.

Remember, it's time for
you to save a life, b*tch.

- Yay!

- Thank you.

- Up next, !sis Avis Loren.

- Hello, everyone!
- Hello!

- Hi.
- Everyone say, Isi.

[together] Hi, Isi.

- Oh, wonderful.

Let me hear you scream.

[all screaming]

- Ooh. I thought it
was more of a chill.

I really want to hear a scream.

[all screaming]

- Wonderful.

Sometimes life can
make us scream a little.

It is my wish to empower people so
that we can grow and reach the stars.

- Yay! [applause]

That was beautiful.

[uplifting music]

- [singing] Dark blue
clouds are creeping in

I feel so lost

I hope that you can save me

Can you still save me

Thunder breaks
and shakes my skin

This plane is coming
down, but you can save me

Only you can save me

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Rain on me

And over my head a million
feelings crashing over me

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Rain on me

And something you
said keeps coming back

And washing over me

- Whoo!

- [singing] Oh, rain on me

- !sis looks absolutely
breathtaking.

- [singing] Yeah rain on me

And over my head a million
feeling crashing over me

Ohh-ohh-ohh

Rain on me

- Wow.

Yes, b*tch.

- [singing] And something
you said keeps coming back

And washing over me

Oh rain on me

- Tens across the f*cking board.

- Yay!

[applause]

Give it up for Hollywould Star.

[upbeat music]

- [singing] La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

La-la, la-la

Putting black... black
beauty on the map

Snap, snap, looking for snap

Lick those lips and
break your back

Girl, I'm a heart attack

'Cause they ain't
gone where I've been to

They ain't see what
I've been through

Don't know what they turn up to

I'm roasting queens
in the barbecue

In 3, 2, 1

Black beauty is me

That equality

Make room for the queen

Stepping on the scene

Look at that girl

Oh

I know you jealous but shh

Why you just came here to sit

And watch me clean it
while I eat the runway

Serve the runway

- f*ck, Hollywould.

She's so talented.

- [singing] Got a
dream, so don't intervene

- You just got to
give it to the girl.

- [singing] Pulling
looks left and right

Crawl through the hate

I know you're jealous, but
why you just came here to sit

And watch me clean it
while I eat the runway

Serve the runway

Serve the runway

[cheering and applause]

- Serve it, b*tch.

- [whispering] I'll
tell you what I want.

- Category is not in
my backyard barbecue.

Up first, Gabriella Labucci.

- Slow down, she's
trying to ketchup.

- I am giving you a vampy,
sexy, slutty bottle of tomato sauce.

Initially, I was going to
make this sauce bottle

campy and cloudy, but the judges

have asked me to step
away from the campy a little bit

and just feel it.

- Sometimes when the
sauce doesn't come out,

you've got to hit the bottom.

[laughter]

- Bumpa Love.

- You know who this is, Ru?

- Who?
- This is Sandy "got the D."

[laughter]

- I grew up with
people at the barbecue

wearing black leathers and
patches... so g*ng members.

However, I wanted to look
like Olivia Newton-John onstage,

because I'm sure
she'd go to a barbecue.

- Flor.
- Now, that's a meaty tuck.

- She likes to
Netflix and grill.

[laughter]

- So on the runway
I'm half burned.

I feel a beautiful.

Like, I know I'm serving
a very strong look.

Are you judges hungry?

- !sis Avis Loren.

- Those are some
nice, meaty ba*ls.

- Mm-hmm.

- Tonight I'm taking
you to the BZT,

an Australian-Italian version
of a backyard barbecue.

- Pasta? I don't even know her.

[laughter]

- Ciao.

I'm giving you my
sexy Italian zia.

My nonna would be proud.

- Hollywould Star.

- I am feeling my
Black Barbie fantasy

inspired by Jeremy Scott.

I have my 613


I look stunalina.

- So some people like
edibles. She likes inflatables.

[laughter]

[upbeat music]

- Kia ora, queens.

[together] Kia ora.

- Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.

[together] Oi, Oi, Oi!

- It's time for the
judges' critiques.

Up first, Gabriella Labucci.

- This look for
me, I hope you see

how much you've
grown with your aesthetic.

- I feel like a hot sl*t.

- Yeah. And isn't it fun?

Now, you did the "hula hoop,"

and I think you had
a spark of an idea.

But it felt almost a little
like unthought through.

- We talked about it
yesterday, and you said,

"Oh, I think I'm going to
add in a few more things."

And then there kind of wasn't.

- You have such a creative mind.

I expected more from you.

Where is the depth?

Where are the other colors?

Because I know
that the clown thing

is really about laughing
through the tears.

Throughout this competition,
as you've done with your makeup,

we want to see the many
faces of Gabriella Labucci.

Up next, Bumpa Love.

- Your drag brunch
was very interesting.

- Pssss.

- Again, I think there
was a spark of an idea,

but it was so confusing.

- I thought maybe you
were going to turn it

into a little bit of a roast,
but you just kind turned it

into that's a queen,
and that's a dog,

and here's a noise of pissing.

It felt like you didn't
have the jokes in the tank

to be able to grab to
and throw out at any point.

- Even Ru, my sober friend,

was heckling you to
get more out of you.

And even then you felt stilted.

- I think Rhys
nailed it on the head.

I just didn't have enough
material to kind of fall back on.

- Yeah.

- That's on me.

- Look, everyone can relate
to a bunch of pissed b*tches

at a barbecue.

For that, I gave you ten points.

[laughter]

And you look wonderful
as Sandra Dee.

I'm going to bum a
smoke off you later.

[laughter]

- Thank you.

Up next, Flor.

- I love what you
did with the music,

and then you brought
the shoulder shimmy to it.

You made it fun
and sexy and drag.

I left thinking, "Oh, I
think I learned something."

[laughter]
- Yay.

- Yesterday, you told
me you were a nurse.

And so much of you made
sense to me very suddenly

because of how,
like, positive you are

and this kind of, like,
genuine bright spirit.

Tonight I was just
really proud of you.

Genuinely.
- Ohh.

- Because you focused it.

- How long have you
been a registered nurse?

- For two years.

I work with dementia residents.

I like the career, and
I like my residents.

They are like my
big, heavy babies.

[laughs]

- I just lost my father to
dementia in December,

and so many care
providers don't care.

So to hear somebody who
cares, thank you for that.

- Thank you.

- Just one more thing...

Can you get prescriptions?

[laughter]

- Under the table.

[laughter]

- Up next, !sis.

- When you said, "Oh,
I'm going to do a fan

dance about mental health,"

I thought, "Well,
she's had a good run."

[laughter]

No. But I was, like,
kind of blown away.

- That turn that you did
that encompassed you

in the scarving, it
was very moving.

And now I'm hungry, so...

[speaking Italian]

- [speaking Italian]
- I'm all right.

[laughter]

- You have turned out to be
the fashionista of the season.

My goodness, I love
this dress so much.

And what you wore earlier
during the brunch, fantastic.

And the number, just
superstar material.

Really.

- Thank you.

- Here we go... Hollywould Star.

- Hollywould.
- Hello.

- You gave us some
gorgeous, gorgeous singing.

If I was at a drag
brunch and you

sang like that,
I'd be like, "Oh,

I want a whole song like that."

Because listen, you
were great at what you did,

but it is very common
and very kind of same-y.

So I would have liked
more of that singing,

because that was different.

- Hmm.

- Now, still don't
know if I know you.

Your defense mechanism
is the same as mine.

We put up a tough exterior.

But I would love to get to know
Hollywould who lies beneath.

- That was one of my
favorites at the brunch.

I've never judged
anything before,

so I don't know how to
critique it in the right way.

But I just frickin' loved it,
and I love the outfit tonight.

And I'm sure there's a pool
growing behind the outfit as we speak.

[laughter]

- It's really fun seeing you
in a camp outfit like this,

because it does
give us some insight

into your sense of
humor, your sense of play.

Do you know why we are
sensing a wall from you?

- I mean, I've heard
this pretty often.

And I guess it's just been
so ingrained in me that I've...

I've had this wall.

- Now is the time to
bring that sh*t out, baby.

I'm for real, yo.

You got what it takes,
kiddo... all of you do.

You all are stars.

You've made it to top five.

That's outrageous.

Now, you owe it to
yourself to bring all of those

elements together.

Thank you, Queens.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck
in the Werk Room,

the judges and
I will deliberate.

[engine turning over]

[upbeat music]

- Ooh, beveragino.

- Beveragino. Beveragino.

- Ah!

Oh, my God.

They liked it.

They got the joke.

They got the routine.

They got the outfit.
They got everything. Ah!

- You were so, so, so good.

I was like...
- Thank you.

- just Flor-ed.

[laughter]

- !sis, you did so, so amazing.

- Out of us I'm sure
you'll be... yeah.

We're both the tops.

- Yay.
- Oh my god, wow.

- Ah, I think I got it!

Oh, please.

I think this is my time to win.

- God damn it, I'm
in the bottom, and,

you know, it is what it is.

- Their feedback
was so on point.

You know, you can't...

Look...

You can't stare a
dead horse in the face.

They were right.

- I think it's going to
be and me, Bumpa.

I understand what
the judges were saying.

My thought process was, I
know comedy is like nothing new,

but, you know, it was something
that I haven't shown them already,

that hoop routine. So I know...

I'm pushing myself week
after week consistently

to change and deliver what
these judges are asking of me,

and it just feels
like it's not enough.

It's also a little
bit disheartening

when Ru's like, "We just
want to know a little bit more...

You know, we want to
know like who you are."

And I feel like I've
grown so much

in this f*cking competition.

It's just very confusing.

- Yeah, I understand.
It's the same for me.

To get, "Oh, we don't
really know who you are,

I'm like, "This is me."

I'm just not a
naturally overly excited,

flamboyant, silly person,
and I've never been that way.

And so, in a way, it
almost feels like they're

asking me to be that.

- Maybe not silly.

Maybe just a little
bit of vulner... vulner...

- Vulnerability.
- Vulnerability.

- Hollywould, I don't think
she gets Ru's comments.

- I know your brand is
being fierce and a superstar,

because you are.

But maybe show them,
like, you know, another side.

- Mm - Maybe that?

- You know me.
- Yeah.

- I know that I'm a sweet
person, and I'm silly.

And I just...

- Yeah, but that's out of drag.

I don't think she get it at all.

She's trying to understand,
but, like, she just doesn't get it.

[tense music]

- All right. Now, just between
us kangaroos, what do you think?

Starting with Gabriella Labucci.

- Being first off the ranks,
I was impressed easily.

I'm a one-drink screamer.

[laughter]

- But yeah, if it was comedy,
I don't think it was that funny.

But I did...

I did think her
makeup was gorgeous.

- She's had a really
great run so far,

and potentially what happened
this week is, she was feeling

a little confident... maybe
a little overconfident...

And thought she could skate
through on a performance like that.

And we caught her.

- Let's move on
down to Bumpa Love.

- I love that Bumpa got feral,
because she really got down there

with the pissing.

[laughter]

That's about as far as my
comments are going I think.

[laughter]

- Bumpa has been in the
business for a very long time.

This is really inexcusable.

All right, let's
talk about Flor.

- Tonight on the runway,
how gorgeous was this?

Even the way she painted
her skin with the burns,

it looked like it hurt,
because it looked so real.

She nailed it.

- Flor is adorable.

She's just naturally
charismatic and funny.

- Is it fair to say
she's a-Flor-able?

[laughter]

- No, it's not.
- [laughs]

- All right, let's move on
down to !sis Avis Loren.

- It was exciting.

She gave us a beginning,
a middle, and an end,

and the number
was beautifully done.

!sis has emerged as a contender.

Great night for
!sis Avis Lauren.

All right, let's talk
about Hollywould Star.

- That b*tch put the
Barbie in barbeque

on the runway. [laughter]

And her performance, I seem
to disagree with you guys,

but I thought she
was f*cking awesome.

It was fierce. It was bitchy.

It was tough.
- What's interesting though, Amy,

is that we've seen her
do that performance

week after week after week.

We're getting a lot of sameness.

We're not getting a lot
of emotional depth there.

- She is a star, and she
showed it to us in the beginning

of that number.

And I was so bummed
she didn't keep on with that.

- Silence, I've
made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

- Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

[tense music]

Flor, you are safe.

- OK.

- You may step to
the back of the stage.

- Oh, [indistinct].

Ohh.

- !sis Avis Loren,
condragulations.

You are the winner of
this week's challenge.

[applause]

You've won a $2,500 wig
and accessories voucher

from Wigged Out.

- Thank you so much, Ru.

- I suppose this time it's mine.

[laughs]

[tense music]

- Hollywould Star,

you are safe to
slay another day.

- Thank you very much.

You may join the other girls.

- Can I ask something?

- I would love to know

what you would
like to see from me.

- We want to see
your vulnerability.

We want to see you
with the wall down.

And that's not just for us...

I'm saying this for
the rest of your life.

Whatever boogieman that
forced you to put that wall up

doesn't exist anymore,
but the wall is still there,

and you're still carrying it.

And not just in your
professional life...

In your emotional life, in
your love life, all of those things

are affected by that.

How old are you?
- 28.

- 28 is when Saturn returns to the
place it was when you were born.

This is the moment.

- Thank you very much.

- All right, you may
join the other girls.

Gabriella Labucci.

Bumpa Love.

I'm sorry, my dears, but you
were both up for elimination.

Two queens stand before me.

- Oh, f*ck, I'm in the bottom.

But, you know, Mama
always works it out.

So put your big
britches on, Bumpa.

You're going to have to work.

- Ladies, this is your
last chance to impress me

and save yourself

from elimination.

The time has come

for you to lip sync

for your life!

- I've made it six weeks
into this competition

without even
touching the bottom.

So I've proved that I'm a
force to be reckoned with.

And I'm about to prove
that I'm even more of a force

to be reckoned with.

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

[Jet's "Are You
Gonna Be My Girl"]

- [singing] Go

So one, two, three, take
my hand and come with me

Because you look so fine

That I really want
to make you mine

I say you look so fine

That I really want
to make you mine

Big black boots

Long brown hair

She's so sweet with
her get-back stare

Well I could see
you home with me

But you were with
another man yeah

I said are you
going to be my girl?

- Gabby is serving.

I don't know what
she's serving actually.

Desperation. [laughs]

She's cartwheeling.

Bumpa's on the floor.

I have no idea who's going
to win, but this is a good show.

- [singing] I could
see you home with me

But you were with
another man yeah

I know we ain't got much to say

Before I let you get away yeah

Be my girl, be my girl

Are you gonna be my girl?

Yeah

[laughter and applause]

- Ladies, I've made my decision.

[dramatic music]

Gabriella Labucci,
shante, you stay.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you.

- You may join the other girls.

- Thank you so much.

- Everybody say, Bumpa Love.

[together] Bumpa Love!

- Now, sashay away.

- Love you, Bumpa.
- f*cking love you, Bumpa.

- Don't forget, you can always
pull up to my bumper anytime.

Bye.

[applause and laughter]

Yay, I get to go home.

Not. God damn it.

Let's write these
girls a message.

I think in a big way I really
wanted the win to validate

my whole career basically.

Oh, my darlings.

But it's oxymoronic, I suppose,

because I'd already
won before I came.

A great career.

I did everything I've wanted to,
but now I'll be able to do more.

So thank you.

You better f*cking
love me, everyone.

[laughs]

- My top four queens,
condragulations.

And remember, if
you can't love yourself,

how in the hell are you
going to love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

[together] Amen!

- All right. Now
let the music play.

[upbeat dance music]

- Next time on "RuPaul's
Drag Race Down Under,"

you need to transform
these dog lovers

and their doggies into
members of your drag family.

- You OK?
- Yeah, my legs are fighting.

- Darling, we just have started.

- First of all, whatever
this cult is, I want to join.

- It was very cute
and sweet to watch.

- I wouldn't say that I get the
strongest family resemblance.

- So now, Hollywould, last
week you said you were 28,

but your paperwork
says you're 34.

[dramatic music]
