16x06 - Welcome to the DollHouse

[bunniefuu]

[singing] MTV

Previously
on "RuPaul's Drag Race"...

I want to collaborate with you
on three hot tracks

from my album "Black Butta."

I feel like you're
misspeaking a lot.

Yeah.

Maybe there's
a way to stop that.

Thick and Stick.

Condragulations,
you are the winning

girl group of the week.

Whoo!

Amanda Tori Meating.

It just doesn't really
make sense

as far as pussycat wigs.

Q.

Out of everybody
in the girl group,

you didn't sparkle or shine.

Q, shantay, you stay.

Amanda, sashay away.

[dramatic music]

Oh, miss honey child.

Oh, girl.

Amanda has just gone.

And it's hard for me
because she has

become one of my best friends.

And I'm gonna miss her a lot.

Oh, she left a note.

"Q, have fun cleaning
this mirror, you bitch.

"You better f*cking win
so I can at least say

the winner
sent me to the house."

Aww.

She won't, but...

[laughter]

Q, how you feeling, baby?

I'm honestly surprised
to just be in the bottom

this early in the competition,

'cause it's not, like,
where I saw myself.

But you won't see me here again.

I was in the top
three weeks in a row.

So this week was definitely
a fall from grace,

which is not my fantasy.

But I'm just gonna
take that all in

and use it as fuel
for me to keep

on succeeding in the future.

So watch out.

Congratulations,
Team Thick and Stick.

- Oh, yes.
- The winners.

Listen, I think it's safe
to say that all of us

underestimated you
from the get-go.

- We sure did.
- And I'm happy you guys did.

I'm really glad
that you guys all have

a quarter of a win now.

[laughter]

Well, it's more
than you've done, so...

Oh!

And you ate that.
And you ate that.

I feel very happy
to finally not have been

in the bottom this week

and, you know,
finally won something.

It was a shared win,
but I will take it.

Honestly, when y'all left,
like, you got saved by the bell

because we all had to,
you know, throw a sister

under the bus and say who we
thought deserved to go home.

I know during "Untucked,"
you and Xunami

had a little moment 'cause
you had mentioned her name.

I just said Amanda
'cause worst critiques

and maybe Xunami
just 'cause of not making,

like, a really big statement
in the competition yet.

In your opinion.

It's not sha... it's, like...

No, like what I said,
in your opinion.

I don't know why
you're getting so mad.

I'm allowed to feel
the way I want to feel.

OK, yeah.

Oop, OK.

Part of me was like,
you know what?

f*ck this bitch
'cause I don't give a f*ck

what she has to say about me.

We had to say a name.

And it wasn't said in malice.

We had to say a name.
You said two, boy.

You know, I'm not gonna
hold you back for that.

[laughter]

Do I feel like she was right
in saying my name?

No.

But will I take the note
and see if there's truth in it?

Yes, 'cause I'm a smart bitch.

Plane, who are you gonna pick on

now that Amanda's gone?

[laughter]

- Yeah!
- You know what?

We're turning a new leaf.

You know...
- Are we?

Sapphira offered me
some words of wisdom today.

It's not always necessary
to read a bitch down.

So going forward, I'm gonna
give people a chance now.

I will believe it
when I see it, personally.

Well, Dawn, honey,
you want to talk about shady.

[laughter]

Plane says that she's
gonna turn a new leaf.

And I don't believe that
for a f*cking second, bitch.

Oh, sister.

But this is
"RuPaul's Drag Race,"

so you never know
what the f*ck's gonna happen.

Smells like Russian hooker.

Russian hooker.

Q was just in the top
three times.

And now she landed
in the bottom.

So nobody should feel
comfortable at all.

[engine turning over]

[singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"

The winner
of "RuPaul's Drag Race"

receives a one-year supply

of Anastasia Beverly Hills
cosmetics

and a gag-worthy grand prize
of $200,000,

served by Cash App,

with extra-special guest judge
Law Roach.

[singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"

May the best drag queen win

Best drag queen win

[upbeat music]

Ooh, another day
in the cotton candy factory.

It's a new day in the Werk Room.

And honestly,
I'm ready for these b*tches

to start leaving so I can get
closer to my crown.

You know, Morphine,
I just want to say,

girl, you're so much
more than a BBL.

[laughter]

I want you to know that
you are more than a BBL.

I'm more than just one.
I'm a second round.

[laughter]
- Yeah, who has had work done?

My cheekbones are natural.

My lips have been
pumped to Jesus.

[laughter]

Your lips are pumped.

Boots.

What you have done, Xunami?

Just a little Botox
in the lips...

- Uh-huh.
- Half a syringe,

not a full one.

Is this the season
of lip fillers?

Honey, it may be
the season of lip fillers.

But nobody here is filler.

Look at you, your congenial era.

[laughter and applause]

Maybe she's turning over
a new leaf.

[laughter]

[siren wails]
- Ooh!

She done already
done had herses.

Here we go, bitch.

Hey, dollies.

- Hey, Ru.
- Hello.

Ain't nobody got time for Bratz.

So keep your Rainbow Brite,

and you could be living
in a Malibu Dream House.

Ooh!

Mm-mm-mm.

Ooh, yes, dolls.

All right, the dolls, the dolls.

Hello, hello, hello.

- Hi!
- Hi.

Ladykins, please welcome Spain's

most exciting export:

actress, singer,
and one of the greatest

flamenco guitarists
in the world,

Charo!
- Whoo-hoo!

[cheers and applause]

I love you!

Mwah! Mwah!

Cuchi-cuchi!

[laughter]

We got the icon,
the legend, the star.

Charo is here.

That woman, her batteries
do not run out.

I'll have what she's having.

I'm so happy to be here.

Aww.

Every time I hear your name,

I get bumps all over my goose.

[laughter]

Queens, for today's
Mini Challenge,

Charo is going to test
your cuchi-cuchi uniqueness,

nerve, and talent
in our Spanish Fly Girl

Flamenco Dance Contest.

- Oh!
- Yes!

Brought to you by
the tourism board of Spain.

[laughter]
- Ooh!

Spain is a hugely popular
tourist destination

for the LGBTQ community.

And here are two reasons why.

Oh, Pit Crew.

- Oh!
- Olé!

Say hola to Alfredo and Thiago.

Hola.

They will be your
flamenco dance partners.

But first, you've got


into quick flamenco drag.

Oh, my God.

VГЎmonos.

[cheers and laughter

Oh, my God.

Y'all need to be careful.

Baby, I do flamenco
back at home.

And I'm a huge fan of Charo.

And I'm feeling my Murcia vibes,

you know, the Latina EspaГ±ola.

Oh, my God.
Where are my booty blenders?

Booty blenders,
girl, you are not just a BBL.

But mostly.
[laughter]

All right, ladykins, time is up.

Are you ready?

SГ­.

MГєsica!

Geneva and Alfredo.

Oh, all right.

For me, flamenco is very
similar to Mexican folklore.

So of course, I know
the little skirt movements.

And you give it to me
with the eyes.

Ooh!

Just call her
Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Dawn and Thiago.

Oh.

Olé!

I love to flamenco dance.

And I'm going to be
very good at it.

[chuckles]

Yeah, girl, it's sarcasm.
[laughs]

[cheers]
- Olé!

Morphine and Alfredo.

[cheers]
- Olé!

Yes.

Oh, oh, she said,
it's a solo, all right.

Mhi'ya and Thiago.

Oh, woman.

Yes, bitch.
Come on, Mhi'ya.

Yes.
- Olé!

Sapphira and Alfredo.

- All right, bitch.
- Yes.

Olé, you stay.

Yes!
[laughter]

Plane Jane and Thiago.

[laughs]

Whoo!
- Oh!

[laughter]

- Whoa!
- Oh!

[laughter]

Xunami and Alfredo.

- Oh, come on, bitch.
- Wow!

Come on.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Xunami is giving
that Latina flavor.

Oh, my God.

She kind of looked
like she may be taking

her dancer home with her.

Olé.

Yes.

Nymphia and Thiago.

Ooh!

Oh!

Olé!

[cheers and laughter]

Plasma and Alfredo.

Oh, give it.

Whoo!

- Whoo-hoo-hoo! Ah-ha-ha-ha!
- I saved you.

I literally almost pull
the dancer down to the ground,

which doesn't make me
feel quite as dainty

as I would like to feel.

[laughs]

Megami and Alfredo.

OK, seductive woman.

- Claro!
- All right, Miss Megami.

Olé!

[cheers and laughter]

Q and Thiago.

[laughter]

Hey!

I think your Spanish Fly
just kicked in.

Olé!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Thank you.
- Aww!

All right, Charo,
it is up to you.

Who is the winner
of today's Mini Challenge?

I really enjoyed
certain movement of a girl

by the name Xunami with Alfredo.

[cheers and applause]

Baby, not me being the winner

of the Mini Challenge.

I mean Little Miss Q

said that I deserve to go home.

I mean, it's a Mini Challenge.

But I'm a winner still.

So bring it on.

You've won a trip to Spain

courtesy
of the tourism board of Spain.

Werk.

- Now, Charo.
- Yeah.

Thank you so much.

The culture is so beautiful.

And you have shared it with
the world for so many years.

And you are welcome
to come back anytime.

Muchas gracias.

I had the time of my life.

And cuchi-cuchi.

Cuchi-cuchi.

Shake your cuchi-cuchi.

The more you shake it,
the more money you make it.

[laughter]

Mwah. Gracias.
- Thank you.

Gorgeous.

Ladykins, raise your hand

if you loved playing with dolls
when you were a kid.

Ooh, yes.

I think that's
pretty much everyone.

Me too, I loved it.
I loved it.

And, you know, my dreams
came true years ago

when I had my very own
RuPaul doll.

Yes.

And now it's your turn.

For today's Maxi Challenge,
you get to create your own doll

based on your drag persona.

Starting from scratch,
you need to create

two identical looks,

one for you
and one for your doll.

Ooh!

I'm very excited to do
another design challenge.

And I love dolls.
I collect Bratz dolls.

And I customize them,
so no problemo.

Queens, this is
a design, branding,

and storytelling challenge.

And tomorrow on the main stage,
you'll make your doll debut,

where we'll be joined by
our extra-special guest judge,

super stylist Law Roach.

[gasps and cheers]

Girl, oh, I am one of
the biggest fans of Law Roach.

And I want her to read me.

I don't know if I'll
recover from the read.

But I want it.

Racers, start your engines.

And may the best drag queen win.

[cheers]

[laughs]

[squealing]

Today's Maxi Challenge
is Welcome to the Dollhouse.

Not only do we have
to make a look for ourself,

but we also have to make
a doll that matches it.

It's a mad dash.

Everyone is wanting the things.

Ooh, this is gorgeous.

And I see this beautiful purple.

And I say, I want that one.

Love.

Of course, I'm drawn
to, like, the reds

because of the whole Latina,

you know, like,
seductive of it all.

And then I start
noticing that there's

not that many
stretchy red fabrics.

What reds do they have?

- Oh, you want that?
- Yeah.

And the one I do get,
Plane wants.

And we're kind of, like,
fighting for it a little bit.

Why, though?

Because.

You don't even know
what you're making, diva.

- Yes, I do.
- No, you don't.

And I know she gets
bothered that I took it.

But whatever, she has immunity.
I don't.

I don't know
what exactly I'm doing.

[groans]

Being in the bottom last week,

I am pumped that we're
coming into a week

where this is my strong suit.

I see a lot of bright colors,
a lot of sparkly fabric.

But then I see these
kind of nudes and golds

and browns kind of in the back.

And I immediately think
that's a way for me

to stick out
and do something really

unexpected from what
a lot of these other girls

are planning to do.

- Oh, all the yellow's gone.
- Obviously.

My immediate goal is like, OK,

what do I know how to make?

I know how to make
period dresses.

Great.

So I go immediately
for a little traveling outfit.

Like if Plasma got
on an ocean liner in the 1950s,

you know, in the beginning scene

of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,"

where they're all, like,
in their headscarves

and their hats when they're
boarding the ocean liner

to go across the sea and gamble.

That's really what
I'm trying to give.

It's, like,
pencil skirt with this top

that, like, this shawl,
like, doubles as a cape

that can, like,
double as a head wrap,

like, Г la Ru, vintage,

like she just got out
of the convertible

and she's now boarding the boat.

And then if I have time,
I'll make a glove.

Do you like it?

Do you like it?

Great.

[speaking Taiwanese]
[sighs]

That is a recipe
of no-taste disaster.

Well, thanks.

[upbeat music]

[laughs]
What is this?

What did I do?

This fabric is making me
so irate.

[laughs]
Already?

This is disgusting.

Once I gathered
all of these tacky fabrics,

I'm realizing that I'm gonna be

read to filth if I put this
fabric anywhere near my body.

My sister, what you
up to over here?

Oh, here we go again.

Sister, what are
you doing, baby?

You're making another
cute little bodysuit?

- No.
- No, you're making...

I'm making a gown.

- Oh, a gown.
- Yes.

That's so ambitious
for somebody who doesn't

necessarily know how to sew.

Here it is.
Here she comes.

Your congenial era lasted
a whole two minutes, Plane.

No, sister, I'm just...
I'm looking out for you, girl,

'cause I wouldn't want you to...
- Well, you know, if I happen

to land in the bottom,
give me the potion, doll,

if you're really looking out
for me.

Yeah, of course, absolutely.
And you know what?

Unless you think you need it,
you know.

Are you finally gonna,
like, put the tits away?

Or you're still gonna rely
on the body?

Don't worry about
what I'm doing, sister.

Well, then don't worry about
what I'm doing over here,

and go back to your station.
- OK. Heard.

Helicopter all the way
over there.

Go away. You're still not
getting the red fabric.

[sewing machines whirring]

Here goes nothing.

Miss Plasmoid.
- Yeah?

So I need a little bit
of this fabric.

So since you have
a nice big bolt,

I'm just gonna
cut off, like, a yard.

OK.

Are you f*cking kidding?

What keeps happening
to this thread?

A beautiful stretch velvet.

Here you go.

Thank you.

[laughs]
Plasma is a true sister.

And she knows that I
really have her back.

Or she's a little distracted.

This season has so many
sewing challenges.

And sewing is not my thing.

I feel like one moment,
I'm good, I'm stress-free,

and boom,

a sewing machine
is dropped on me.

I'm doing a catsuit.

OK.

So what's your question?

So I'm going
the right direction,

like we're cutting it out.

Always take your stuff,
do it like this,

like, with your arms
'cause the arms

is, like, the easiest thing.

So if you really want
that pattern, take this in.

I am noticing that Sapphira
is helping Mhi'ya a lot.

I see Sapphira
cutting her pattern.

I see Sapphira cutting this,
cutting that.

Sorry, stop.
[sewing machine beeping]

Go again.

It's not a sewing class.

So now you just do this.

This is the kind of
time-consuming part.

I'm gonna do what I said I
would do, and I will help her.

But I need to start
focusing on me

and my doll and my collection.

Put a zipper in here.

So you're good.

'Cause if I don't, then
the Sapphira Cristál Edition

is gonna be a naked edition.

I need inspiration.

How about banana nut

or, like, banana bubble tea
edition?

Is there an edition that
you do that isn't banana?

Should I not do banana?

I'm just really struggling.

You can't even say it
with a straight face.

You said, I'm really struggling.

I am struggling.

Not Nymphia acting up again.

So Nymphia, after she literally
won the last design challenge,

she's saying how much she
doesn't know what she's doing.

And absolutely no one
is believing this bullshit.

I'm so stressed out.

Nobody believes you, Nymphia.

Miss Woman.

Look, she's over here
taking a nap on the floor,

acting like she's having a fit.

I swear to God.

I'm stressed out!

[howls]

She is that little banana
that cried wolf.

Hi, Q.

Hey.

[speaking Taiwanese]

- What do you want?
- I don't know.

I'm just caring
for a fellow queen.

I definitely know how
Nymphia's playing this game.

She's keeping a close eye,
seeing what I'm doing.

I'm gonna need you
to leave my station.

Just trying to pester me
to throw me off my game.

I'm just feeling
very uninspired,

and I thought I'd use this time
of just caring for each other.

Well, then go feel inspired
somewhere else.

I'm not gonna let
another sewing challenge

get away from me.

I know Nymphia sews now.

So this time, I'm not gonna
even let her have a chance.

Good luck.

Yeah, good luck to you too.

Thank you, I need it.

You rotten little banana.

[upbeat music]

Don't.

[speaking Spanish]

For this challenge,
not only do we have

to make a look for ourselves,

But we have to make
an identical matching one

for our doll.

It's a branding challenge.

So through the doll,
we have to explain

what we are all about,

our brand, our essence,
our style.

I didn't bring
my little doll patterns.

How is yours?

Mine's currently
under construction.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'm excited.
- How is yours?

I'm gonna take this bitch's
face off completely.

- Yeah.
- She's getting new look.

My plan for the doll is to give
her an entire Dawn makeover.

I want to completely
take off her face

and then completely
smack on a new one.

I want this doll
to live the life

that she deserves to live.

She is my daughter.

The wig doesn't fit
her big-ass head.

My doll's not very tucked.

- [laughs]
- Like mother, like daughter.

Am I giving?

Look, it's the doll.
[laughter]

Let me fit her shoes on her.

Oh, so pretty.

My doll is going to be
the Aquatic Edition, obviously,

since I'm kind of pigeonholed

with this aquatic blue
Lycra fabric.

I don't think I've ever taken
Plane Jane underwater.

But mama, she can thrive
and be a whore

in any setting or environment.

So I'm confused.

If you're making that

and then you also have this,
what is that?

What is that?

I'm making a coat
that goes around it.

An opera coat.

You're crazy.

The way that I'm
challenging myself

is by wanting to make
another opera coat.

But this opera coat,
it's going to take

a lot of time to make happen.

I don't know
that I have the time.

How am I...

How am I gonna do this
without showing my ass?

It's hard.

- It's all I know!
- It's all I know.

Last week, Michelle said
that I'm more than just a BBL.

And I was a little bamboozled.

But I am 1,000%
getting Michelle's note

and not showing my ass
this time.

You should be more concerned...

- Wait, say it.
- Sorry. I can't.

I dare you to say it, bitch.
[laughter]

Say what you're gonna say.

I was gonna say
you should be more concerned

about how to do it
without showing your stomach.

[laughter]
- [screaming]

Oh, my God!

Plane says she's trying
to turn over a new leaf,

but she can't do it.

[laughs]

Bitch.

Oh, this dress.

This dress, distress.

Well, I'm looking forward
to seeing the vision.

That sounded shady.

What do you mean?

Do you think it needs
that purple piece?

There's gonna be
a coordinating piece

that goes with this
that's purple.

I mean, it's your... that's...

It's your vision.

[quirky music]

[laughter]
- You know what? You're right.

Nobody can say anything
without people being like, "Oh.

Oh, you're coming for me."

[laughter]

Oh, this gown's not
talking to me yet.

- It's not speaking to you?
- Not yet.

I want to do something flowy,
you know, kind of draping,

with, like, a long shoulder
and a sexy side cut

on the leg, very Latina.

However, I then realized,

what if it's too simple
for the main stage?

Oh, no, yeah, I definitely have
to put the ruffle on top.

This is just enough for her.

Is that all that's left?

- Yeah.
- Oh.

Geneva is trying really hard.

And I'm trying really hard
to help her.

But I don't know how.

I'm kind of like,

she doesn't know
what the f*ck she's doing,

and I don't know
how the f*ck to help.

What do you think about this?

Oh, girl, not together.

- The blue, though?
- No.

It does not look good together.

That mesh looks cheap as hell.

Thank you.
You confirmed my suspicion.

So then I'm like, OK,
let's make another outfit.

So I am kind of stressing
right now because I don't know

if I'm gonna be able to finish
the outfit for myself,

yet alone one for a doll.

Wait, Plasma, are you gonna use
all that blue?

No, I'm not.

- You think I can have some?
- Yeah.

Geneva got a win for the
girl group challenge last week.

And now, she's back
potentially in the bottom

if she doesn't
figure her sh*t out.

So it's like, girl,
you got to step up.

I can do this.

Yeah, you can, girl.

Not me starting over.

No, you're starting over?

Why are you starting over?

Because I need more of the red,

and there's no more of the red.

Oh, my gosh, you're done.
You're done.

You're done. You're done.

Don't count me out just yet.

There's a lot of blue
in this room.

Geneva, you're doing blue?

I thought you were doing red.

No, I needed more fabric.

You, Plasma, and Geneva
all are doing

the exact same color.

[dramatic music]

Personally, personally,
if I saw someone else

using the same fabric as me,

I would pick a different fabric.

I don't necessarily know
if she'll be in the bottom,

because there's some other
stinkers in the room.

But Miss Thing is
definitely staring down

the barrel of a g*n right now.

And she better hope

this runway is something fierce.

[upbeat music]

Ooh, where are the dolls, honey?

Where are the dolls?

The dolls are here, honey.

The dolls are here.

Today, we are walking the runway

in our Welcome to the Dollhouse
looks.

And someone is going home.

But it's not me, baby.

My outfit is c**t.

So I'm feeling good about that.

I have this purple moment.

And I didn't have enough fabric
to do a whole purple.

But guess what's on the back
of that sparkly green fabric?

Lovely silver metallic.

Literally, that is
the lining fabric.

That's cute.

Be warned, because I am coming

for this design challenge
with a f*cking vengeance, OK?

We're gonna go finish sewing.

I thought you were
gonna do that for me.

[laughs]
How much?

I won't shade you
on the runway today.

[laughter]

We only have
a couple hours left.

And I still have
a lot of work to do.

What the f*ck am I gonna do?

I have too much to do.

Oh, let's just hope
I'll be safe again.

I ended up doing
basically two outfits.

But I'm very content
with what I did.

I actually feel very good
about the look.

And I know I can sell this.

What's the edition of your doll?

Mine is the Texas Edition

because everything is bigger
in Texas,

but I am
the daintiest doll there.

I'm sorry, Miss Geneva,
but the theme,

it does not make sense.

Why you didn't do
one of your TikTok videos,

like, with the hair stuff
on the legs?

It takes me a long time
to style the leg hair.

But that would have been,
like, amazing.

The first doll with hair.

[laughter]

Was anybody's family, like,

OK with them playing with dolls?

Or did anyone have to, like,
sneak it around?

I was too embarrassed
to go to the Barbie section,

and so my mom would go

and, like, bring back a few
for me to pick from...

all: Aww.

To, like, a different section
of the store.

- Werk.
- Yeah.

Come on, Mama Dawn.

Did anybody ever,
like, dress up?

- Me.
- Me.

When I was three, I went
as Dorothy for Halloween.

And my sister went
as Dorothy as well.

I went as Dorothy for Halloween.

And my mom packed me
the shoes for "Drag Race."

I used to have an Instagram.

And I would take
pictures of dolls.

And I would make, like,
clothes out of Play-Doh.

So that's why
your runways look like that.

Ooh.
[laughter]

Wow.

My dad took my dolls away
and said

that only nasty, disgraceful
faggots play with dolls.

Ooh! Really, for real?

One day, I remember
coming into my room

and seeing that my dolls got
replaced with fire trucks.

It was made very clear to me
at a young age,

even though I wasn't quite aware

of what h*m* was,

that the effeminate
was not good.

Listen, I don't blame my dad.

Like, my dad's
a Russian, Jewish immigrant.

Russia is a very
h*m* country.

It's hard to sort of move
past that stigma.

Yeah, he was just, like,
coming from what he was taught.

Yeah, exactly.

We grew up in, like, a Russian
immigrant circle, essentially.

So I wasn't afforded the luxury
of feeling that my parents

would accept me no matter what
just because of, like,

the way that Russian culture is.

I feel like the reason why
I have such a critical eye

for drag and the reason
why I'm oftentimes so harsh

is because of my parents.

It's because
I'm so acutely aware

of how they perceive drag,

which is,
they don't value it at all.

If I get the sense
that somebody's not up to par,

I kind of devalue their drag
in my mind.

- Oh.
- Because...

- That explains a lot.
- I mean...

The Russians are very
critical individuals.

And there are none of those
polite pleasantries

that you get
in American culture.

It's a lot more blunt.

And that's part
of who I am as well.

At the end of the day,
I do have these, like,

really deep rooted insecurities

that are really hard
for me to shake.

I feel like
I haven't really asked you.

I mean, do you have,
like, a strategy

as far as the potion goes?

Oh, my God, that potion.

As of right now,
I'm not planning

on using that potion today.

You know, once I see everybody
in their runway looks,

you know,
perhaps that will change.

But seeing them
on their mannequins,

I don't think so, baby.

Granted, today is not my day.

But do you know who I think
should maybe consider

using their immunity potion
today?

[whispering] Sapphira.
- You think so?

I think so.

Looking over to her station,

and she has that, like,
really simple dress.

But you know what?
Who knows.

In the Mother
of All Balls challenge,

one designer
on the judges panel,

Isaac Mizrahi,
said he loved my outfit.

When Isaac Mizrahi
likes your look, sh*t.

So I can do this.

I think.

Somebody said
that you're "Nurican."

- [laughs]
- What does that mean?

Nuyorican?

- [stuttering]
- Nuyo.

- No-yo?
- Nuyo.

- Nuyorican?
- Nuyorican.

I've never heard that before.

That's what we call, like,
Puerto Ricans from New York.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

What's your background?

I grew up...
So I grew up in Kansas,

a small, little, rural town.

We grew up, like, you know,
not, like, financially stable.

My family grew up kind of poor,

just single mother,
three siblings.

So, you know, there were times
where, you know,

we didn't have, like, food
in our house

or, you know,
our lights weren't on.

I remember, like,
sometimes in high school

when I wouldn't have
lunch money,

so I would, like, sit
in the theater auditorium

and, like, you know, I would,
like, read my lines

for, like, the school play
that I was in.

I would go to the auditorium
so nobody would see

that I wasn't eating.

And I would, like,
look at my lines

and, like, my costumes
and, like, focus on that.

Art's always, like,
taken me out of that world

and into a new one.

I've always wanted
to pursue art.

But I've always felt,
like, guilty

because I felt like
I was maybe supposed

to be the one that turned
that tide of, like, poverty.

Yeah.

I got good grades.

I did well in school.

I was gonna go to college.

You know, it was hard for me
to, like, justify to myself,

OK, go do theater,
go be a drag queen.

So I carried a lot of guilt
with that.

At the end of the day, I can say

that my mom is, like,
one of my biggest supporters,

like, ever in the world.

I told her
I was gonna be on "Drag Race"

and she just, like,
broke down crying.

[soft music]

And she's just like,
"I've been praying about this

for you, like, so much, and"...

Girl, don't start crying now.

You can't mess up your face.
- I know.

You know, you, like, just dream

of something like this
happening for so long.

And then it finally happens,
and it's just like, oh, my God.

Like, all the hardship,

you feel like
it's been for something.

And then it pushes you
to want to go even further,

like, to keep going.

Love you, mom.

[upbeat music]

I like this corner.

This feels like
the mean girl bitch corner.

- No, it's not. We're...
- Except Xunami's not really...

Sister, did you not
hear me the other day?

I'm turning over a new leaf.

I'm not mean anymore.

Guys, guys, guys,
sorry to interrupt.

But do we think that Plane Jane
has turned over a new leaf?

- No.
- Nope.

- See?
- Damn!

When you turn over a new leaf,

it's still the same leaf, girl.

[laughter]

[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]

[laughs]

[singing] Cover girl,
put the bass in your walk

Head to toe,
let your whole body talk

Come on, hot mama.

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

She's my American doll,
Michelle Visage.

Now, Michelle, did you
grow up playing with dolls?

I had Tiffany Taylor,
who had a rotating scalp.

So it went from blonde hair
to black hair.

And then Crissy
with the ponytail

that you would pull really long.

So you played with Crissy

and Tiffany "the Tuck" Taylor.

- Exactly.
- [laughs]

It's living doll Ts Madison.

Did you play with dolls?

It was all about Ken.

But you know what?

There was always
something missing.

I couldn't quite
put my finger on it.

[laughter]

Our extra special guest judge
has a passion for fashion.

Welcome Law Roach.

Did you play with dolls?

Yeah, voodoo dolls.

I've been sticking it
to Michelle Visage

for about six seasons
to try to get on this show.

- Ooh!
- [laughs]

Well, it worked.

[laughs]

This week,
we challenged our queens

to create special edition dolls
in their own spitting image.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win.

[upbeat music]

Category is
Welcome to the Dollhouse.

in the Fleet Week Edition?

Or just send over a Fleet enema.

[laughter]

Up next, Sapphira,
the Grand Dame Diva

Metropolitan Opera Edition.

Madame Butter-you-so-fly.

Meet Sapphira Cristál.

She is regal, inviting,
warm, high maintenance,

and scary as hell.

She is good at singing,
sanging, and backhanded slaps.

Sapphira Cristál loves
to work out...

her voice, because she ain't
going to nobody's gym.

Right.

She comes
with hot throat coat tea,

opera coat... not featured...
And gown,

and six Grammys she stole
from Maria Callas.

Hey, Sapphira,
what's your aria code?

[laughter]

Up next, Plasma, Passenger
on the Pacific Edition.

Oh, she's a queen, Mary.

Meet Plasma.

She's rich, beautiful,
sea-sickening, and nauseous.

Her style is
old-school glamour hag.

She is great
at moving her mouth,

standing still, and theft.

She lives
at the White Lotus Manhattan

in the kitchen refrigerator.

The Plasma: Passenger
on the Pacific Edition

is the first to feature
adjustable eyebrows,

just for Michelle.

[laughter]

Lucille, how did you tuck
your balls?

[laughter]

Plane Jane, the Aquatic Edition.

The Little Whore-maid.

Meet Plane Jane.

She's funky, spunky,
and a little bit skunky.

Is she a magical mermaid

or a retired
ice skating instructor?

Your guess is as good as hers.

She comes with outfit, hair,

and a greasy,
stinky burger finger.

[laughter]
She resides in the Pacific.

And her special message
is that she is...

[with Russian accent]
Secretly a Russian spy

here to infiltrate capitalist
American households.

Fool!

[in regular accent]
Her most special quality,

of course, is her robust WAP...

Her Wildly Appealing
Personality.

for $29.99 an hour.

[laughter]

Up next, Nymphia Wind,

the Spring Banana
Yellow Carpet Edition.

Yellow, gorgeous.

Meet Nymphia Wind.

and full of potassium.

Nymphia's style is
glamorously yellow

She's very peelable
and occasionally breaks wind.

This special doll comes with
bananas, milk, and cream,

and a limited edition,
to die for recipe

to make your own
banana smoothie.

Her message is,
let's all be yellow.

She was up late last night
tying one on.

[laughter]

Up next, Morphine,
the Miami Bimbo Edition.

I wonder what comes in her box.

[laughter]

Meet Morphine Love Dion.

She is gorgeous
with a hint of stunning

and a splash of,
"Why am I here?"

She can climb a palm tree
without popping her fillers.

She comes with shoes, hair,

and a suspiciously long
pinky nail.

She loves to get pumped
and stay in the tanning bed

for a long-ass time.

Her most special quality
is her beautiful smile.

Her message to the world is,

save up all your money
so you too can get a BBL.

[laughter]

She is Miami's other vice.

[laughter]

Up next, Mhi'ya Iman LePaige,

the Queen of Flips Edition.

Queen of Flips?

I think Queen of Tits
is more like it.

Meet Mhi'ya Iman LePaige.

She is fun, shy, outgoing,

and is an energetic diva
who lives in Miami, Florida.

She comes with shoes
that will have you

flipping for the gods
and a booty that will have

all the boys looking.

Her quirkier qualities
are plucking her nose hair

and being afraid of thunder.

She's the only doll that
can do countless backflips.

She loves to flip
and travel the world.

You better work,
Aretha Stanklin.

[laughter]

Up next, Megami,
the Native New Yorker Edition.

Her torch is light and sweet.
[laughter]

Meet Megami.

She is dressed in the official
state colors of New York,

blue and orange.

She's great at hailing cabs.

And you can always find her
riding that D...

Train, that is.

The Native New Yorker Edition
comes with a Metro card

and a large cup of coffee.

If you think Megami is like

all those other
cheaply made dolls

from out of town,
forget about it.

This doll is 100% certified,
New York-made strong.

Pick up your Megami:
Native New Yorker Edition doll

at a bodega near you.

Start spreading the news...

She's a tramp.

[laughter]

Up next, Geneva Karr,

the Daintiest Doll
Texas Edition.

This is the best little
whore-doll in Texas.

Hell yeah.

Everything is bigger in Texas.

But she's the daintiest.

She speaks good English
and Spanish.

Bilingue!

Her accessories include
size 14 white pumps

and a messed up ponytail.

She loves to sing and act
like she's not eating again.

Her quirky qualities include

awkwardly smiling
when boys flirt with her

and awkwardly twitching
her eye back at them.

And her special message
for everyone is,

spread butter on your bread
and not your legs.

Just kidding! But for reals.

Mmm. Toast with butter.

- Butter.
- Ooh, that sounds so good.

Up next, Dawn,
the Galactic Empress Edition.

In space,
no one can hear you queef.

Meet Dawn.

Her personality consists
of intergalactic domination

in a nice way,
sincere introspection

on her role in the universe,
and having a 22-inch waist.

She is from
the Valley of the Dawns,

where all the Dawns are from.

But now she lives in Galaxy 919

on the edge
of a beautiful beach,

where she spends
long, gorgeous days

pretending to work from home.

Get to work!

Just kidding.

Let's get drunk!

Quirky qualities include...
everything.

She's insane.

But she's gorgeous

and great at her job.

Blast off, or something.

Dawn, I told you, go away.

I'm no good for you.

[laughter]

Up next, Q, the Fantasy Edition.

Not gonna catch me, copper.
[laughter]

Meet Q, Fantasy Edition.

On her days off,
she flutters about the forest,

just so everyone can
take her beauty in.

She is the only doll
in the store with an extra box

for all her fabulous clothes.

And don't even get me started
on the headpieces.

[laughter]

This Fantasy Edition comes

with a little bit of fairy dust.

- Oh.
- Wow.

She doesn't dance too good,

but she moves a lot

and a lot of people
seem to like it.

Fantasy Edition Q
just wants you to know,

you too can be slaying it
if you try hard enough.

No dream is too big.

If I've told you once,
I've told you twice...

No more wire hangers.

[laughter]

Welcome, queens.

We've made some decisions.

[dramatic music]

But first, Sapphira,

do you want to use
your immunity potion this week?

- Yup.
- [gasps]

- You do?
- Mm-hmm.

Do you want to save yourself
or one of your competitors?

I'd like to save myself.

All right, I respect that.

Bottoms up, my dear.

I'm drinking it,
and I'm regretting it.

Not just because
it tastes like poison.

But also because
every judge is gobsmacked.

They're like, what the f*ck
are you doing that for?

You are safe
to slay another day.

I allowed my inner saboteur
to take over my body, honestly.

But going forward,
she ain't listening

to none of y'all ever again.

Plane Jane, do you want
to use your immunity potion?

Not this week, mama.

Very well.

When I call your name,
please step forward.

Xunami Muse. Nymphia Wind.

Morphine. Megami.

Ladies, you are all safe.

You may leave the stage.

Now it's time
for the judges' critiques.

Let's start with Plasma.

Your doll looks
exactly like you.

I like that.

You are a bad bitch.

And I just feel like
you should always stay

in your bad bitch energy,
whether your scarf comes down

or whatever...
It might be a little mishap.

One thing you should know how
to use is a bobby pin, honey.

But I am a stickler for details.

And I do love
that you took the time

to stone the doll shoes,

because we've already
learned that lesson.

What bothered me about the story

you put with the doll
is that it felt like

you were pushing the jokes.

She lives
at the White Lotus Manhattan

in the kitchen refrigerator.

If you had just stuck
to who this doll is,

I think it would have been
more effective.

I can't tell you how happy I am

to see your face
and how it's progressing.

Honestly, Plasma,
it looks so beautiful.

You look like
a young Judy Holliday.

The contour on the nose
is a little odd.

But you overdo that top lip,
which you need to do.

And it f*cking works.

Well, how can you look
at my nose

when you're looking at my lips?

[laughs] Exactly.

Up next, Plané Jané.

I really, really love your look,

and your doll especially.

What you created is immaculate.

Plasma, if I would have
saw her use the same fabric

and created that,

I'd literally punch that bitch
in the throat.

What I loved about your story
was, it was fun.

It was wacky.

Is she a magical mermaid

or a retired
ice skating instructor?

I love that you had a callback

to your burger finger.

I mean, all this is very smart
when it comes to branding.

But what stood out the most,
your doll has a robust WAP?

That's right.

I'm old.
What is a WAP again?

It's a wonderful-ass
personality, I guess.

OK, and is it me, or do you have

a little bit more ass
up in there?

+- Well, you know, I noticed

that you liked my padding
last time.

So I enhanced it
a little for you.

OK, thanks, Dr. Zizmor.

[laughter]

Up next, Mhi'ya Iman LePaige.

I want to talk a little bit
about your doll.

The most important piece
of the challenge

was for you and your doll
to look almost exactly alike.

Why didn't you use
any pads on your doll?

I was putting the fabric
that I put in the shoulders.

It wasn't looking right,
so I just left it alone.

In your story, I was waiting
the whole time for you

to do some kind of a flip

because you kept talking
about this flipping doll.

But nobody's flipping.

You know, this outfit, it's fun.

The cape is unfinished.

Doesn't have a hem to it.

So that's what took me
out of the fantasy.

Did you get help
making that outfit?

Sapphira told me
how to do the zipper.

And I did everything on my own.

The stretchy material,
why did you need a zipper?

I didn't want
to not put a zipper in

because I felt like
you guys probably would have

said something about it.

Well, we can't see it.

Yeah.

But... this is so bad,
but it feels like

there is a drip of sweat
going down your titties.

And it is turning me
the f*ck on.

[laughter]
I am questioning my sexuality.

That's saying something
because I am a woman.

But you are turning me on.

[laughter]

Congratu-f*cking-lations.
- Thank you.

Up next,
it's the Geneva Convention.

I'm not mad at the doll.

But I'm not happy with the doll.

I wish you would have went
a little bit more

white here in your eye makeup

so that it would have matched
the doll's makeup here.

This neckline is telling
a totally different story.

It's a different blue.

It just... it doesn't belong.

So for me, that took me
out of it immediately.

From the neck up, beauty queen.

From the neck down,
horror queen.

The way the skirt is hitting
your waist is not flattering.

Those white shoes and having
those thick ankle straps,

terrible.

Your doll has RuPaul's legs.
- Yes.

And you have
Danny DeVito's legs.

[laughs]

The branding was confusing.

Had you sold me
the Geneva Karr doll

with a great slogan like,
"Geneva Karr... drive one,"

that's what this is about.

Up next, it's Dawn.

This look is really, really
giving me Paris runway.

There's a bit
of Balenciaga to it, right?

It's just a really
fashion-forward look.

Like, can we see
the back of it again?

Yeah.

I love this dress.

If I was still
working as a stylist,

I would definitely
borrow this dress

and put it on one of my models.

Coming from you,
that means so much.

Thank you so much.
- It should.

[laughter]

You know, I love a queen
that listens to critique.

And you did.

You showed us that you don't
always need elf ears.

You don't always have to be
blue or pink.

This makeup is
completely still Dawn.

It's a totally different side.

Your doll, I love it.

I want about three of them.

Now, why intergalactic?

I think that the Dawns
as a species

have a lot of different places
that they've come from.

And once this silver fabric
came in,

I was like,
oh, this is just from space.

So we're gonna go with it.

I love the story behind it.

I love how freaky she is.

I think that this doll would

appreciate in value
as time went on.

Up next, Q.

I am so proud of you because
you were so plain last week.

And I was so mad.

But this is just amazing.

The headpiece
reminds me of something

that Stephen Jones would have
made for Grace Jones.

There's a couture quality
about the headpiece.

I can't see any imperfections
in your outfit.

But I think that's because
the fabric looks so rich.

You have three girls
with the same fabric,

which I don't know
how that happened,

because there's no way
in the world

I would have walked out
with the same fabric

with three other girls,
especially when this bitch

tailored it to the gods.

So going the opposite way just
made you more of a standout.

Thank you.

Your doll is so beautiful

with the kind of rusted wings.

I feel like she's
the grand dame of the forest.

Your doll, I think,
is the most collectible.

How much do you think
she'd retail for?

Oh, a million RuBucks.

[laughter]

Can't put a price on that.

Thank you, queens.

I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck
in the Lush Lounge,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

All right, now, just between
us squirrel friends,

I want to know what you think.

First up, Plasma, Passenger
on the Pacific Edition.

I don't even remember some of
the stuff that she was saying.

It was halfway funny
and then it halfway wasn't.

But I was really captivated
by her face.

But then what upset me
was her constantly fiddling

with that scarf on her head.

I liked the look
until I saw Plane Jane.

And it's the details
that separates good and great.

All right, Plane Jane,
the Aquatic Edition.

I couldn't get over the seaming.

It just created
this beautiful body.

And I think those are
the tricks that make

a great queen a great queen.

Tricks do make great queens.

And her doll, somehow,
was even better.

The hair was
absolutely gorgeous.

I wanted to buy that doll.

All right, Mhi'ya,
Queen of Flipping Edition.

Her outfit, though I love
what she did with it,

the finishing things were off.

She just made herself
look like she has no neck.

It was up very high.

I don't know why she put
them titties in tonight.

She had no business
coming out there

being bodied like that
and that doll had no ass.

That doll didn't need
much padding.

You could have cut some of
the padding off of your pads.

She could have padded
that doll with a Q-tip.

- Yep.
- That's true.

What we expect as fans

is the ferociousness
and the fierceness of queens.

And she didn't bring any
of that to the stage tonight.

Geneva Karr, The Daintiest
Doll in Texas Edition.

How do you be dainty
and then in the same sentence

say everything
in Texas is bigger?

I didn't understand
the dainty doll

with somebody
who can't stop eating.

It was just like, what?

My question is, how your doll
look better than you?

You right, Ts,
that doll ate her mother.

The doll ate her mother

because the proportions
were right on the doll.

All of Geneva's proportions
in her outfit were wrong.

It had a really beautiful
detail on the shoulder

with the piettes.

But you couldn't see it
because of the loofah.

And yeah, when they say
everything is bigger in Texas,

they meant those shoes.

[laughter]

Let's move on to Dawn,
The Galactic Empress Edition.

I actually really
kind of enjoyed the mixing

of the two colors, like,
with the purple gloves

to match the purple bodice.

I did not tell a lie when I said

that looked like something
that would have

walked the runways in Paris.

You're absolutely right.
That outfit was fantastic.

And it worked in her branding.

And by the way, her doll
looked as fabulous as she did.

And it made complete sense.

All right, let's go to Q,
Fantasy Edition.

Listen, for me,
Q did the biggest

"step your p*ssy up" moment
this week

because the copper went
with her skin tone.

The headpiece.

Her doll looked
exactly like her.

Girl, I was like, go ahead,
Miss C3PO, go ahead.

Everything made sense.

She's, you know, this mythical
fantasy creature.

And you looked at it,
and you understood it.

I agree.
You could get upwards of,

you know, $100 for that doll.

When we got to her, I just
start to go back and forth.

I'm like,
she really just squatted

and took a sh*t
on these other girls.

I was really, really blown away.

- Silence!
- Ooh.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my dolls.

[dramatic music]

Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Dawn, this week, you had
the judges "galactating."

You are safe.

Thank you so much.

Q, this week,
you put the Q in "Q-toure."

Condragulations,
you are the winner

of this week's challenge.

[all cheering]

- Finally, bitch!
- Finally!

I am finally the winner.

And I am freaking out.

[all cheering]

You've won a cash prize
of $5,000.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you so much, Mama Ru.
Thank you.

I am so f*cking excited.

It could not have come
at a better time.

Plane Jane, you are safe.

Thank you, mama.

Thank you.
[applause]

Plasma, you and your doll
didn't float our boats.

Mhi'ya, the judges didn't flip
for your doll looks.

Geneva Karr, this week,
you never got into high gear.

Plasma, you are safe.

[sighs]

You may join the other girls.

Thank you so much.

- Love you.
- Thank you.

Love you.

Mhi'ya, Geneva,
I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

I'm in the bottom two again.

And I have to do
whatever to stay.

Mhi'ya is the queen of flips.

And I know what she can do.

It's gonna be a battle.

Two queens stand before me.

The time has come...
[thunderclap]

For you to lip-synch

for your life.

My heart is b*ating.

I don't want to have
to lip-synch

against my good friend Geneva.

But it's not my time
to go home yet.

It's on.

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

[Janet Jackson's "Control"]

[singing] This is a story
about control

My control

Control of what I say

Control of what I do

And this time,
I'm gonna do it my way

When I was seventeen,
I did what people told me

[singing] I did what my father said
and let my mother mold me

Now I'm all grown up

[all cheering]

First time I fell in love,
I didn't know what hit me

[tires screeching]

[laughter]

So young and so naive,
I thought it would be easy

But now I know
I've got to take control

Mhi'ya's been talking
big game about these moves.

And now we finally get
to see them?

Girl is out there flipping
and tricking and stunting.

[all cheering]
- [singing] Got my own mind

I want to make my own decisions

When it has to do
with my life, my life

I want to be the one in control

Geneva is just doing
these, like...

I don't know what she's doing,
but she's doing something.

And that's all
that matters, honey.

[singing] Control is what I've got

Because I took a chance
[cheering, laughter]

I don't wanna move the world

Just wanna run my life

So make your life
a little easier

When you get the chance,
just take control

Ooh, ooh, now I've got a lot

Ooh, control

To get what I want, uh!

[laughter]

I'm in control

I'm in control

Don't make me lose it

What?
[all cheering]

Yeah!

Work, bitch.

Ladies, I've made my decision.

[dramatic music]

Mhi'ya Iman LePaige,
shantay, you stay.

[applause]
- Thank you.

You may join the other girls.

Geneva Karr,
fasten your seat belts.

It's gonna be a fabulous ride.

Now, sashay away.

[laughter]

Just kidding.

I love you all so much.
Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

I'll just keep it
short and bilingual.

Hasta la vi-star.

[all cheering]

I am actually feeling very good.

No regrets.

A Mexican person
that lives in Brownsville

made it to LA

when people said we wouldn't,
so...

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.

Oh, honey,
now let the music play.

[singing] A little bit of love
goes a long, long way

Lifting you up to a brighter day

Can you feel the love?

Next time
on "RuPaul's Drag Race"...

You'll be acting up a storm
in "The Sound of Rusic."

One, two, three, four.

Oh, my assistant's here.

[all screaming]

all: [singing] Let the freak out,
let the freak out

Let the freak out in you

[all cheering]

You're A plus, plus, plus, plus.

Do, re, meh.

Baby, you got to be
out your mind.

[singing] A little bit of love

Goes a long, long way

Lifting you up to a brighter day

A little bit of love
goes a long, long way

Turn it around
when you up and say

Everybody say love

Love, love, love, oh, love, love

Love, love, love, oh, love

Love, can you feel the love
