And I think that after she got
that, she was kind of just like,

Coco Montrese was here because
she needed closure with Alyssa.

I'm here to be America's next
drag superstar.

[as Alaska] But I don't have
any nice shoes!
Sharon got all the money, and I
can't get anything for myself.
Aah!
[normal voice] My whole idea was
to make her really whiny,
'cause Alaska has this kind of
whiny voice.

I made it ten minutes before I
got on the runway.
Hey!
Where my people at?
[normal voice] Oh, my god...
Roxxxy, I don't think that wig
is really working with this
outfit.
[as Roxxxy] That's okay, y'all.
I got another wig underneath!

- A swimsuit!
Hey!

Where my people at?
- Yeah, bitch, you better keep
repeating that,
'cause America's gonna know.
When they buy that song
on itunes, Can I Get a Amen?,
they're gonna say,
"Where my people at?"

I'm going in.
- Do you?
- Yes.
I'm going Alexander McQueen
does Christmas.

- Girl, she's going for
a winter wonderland look, bitch.
- It looks crazy.
Just 'cause you throw some

is the first ever Sugar Ball,
where we have to create three
different looks...
a Sweet 16 party girl look,
a Sugar Mama executive realness
look,
and a Candy Couture
fashion look.
- I'm gonna eat
my entire costume.
- Alaska, do I remind you
of someone?
- Detox!
- They're not that big of
a stretch, really.
- Hello, hello, hello.
- Hi.
all: Hello.
- How are things going here
on the good ship Lollipop?
- Delish.
- Alaska.
- Hi.
- I came over to borrow a pair
of edible panties.
May I eat this pair?
- You can eat those shorts
all day.
- Oh, wait.
These aren't edible.
[sniffs]
Ew!
- Ew!
- [laughs]
Now I want to hear all about
your Candy Couture look.
- I like, like,
fluffy cotton candy.
- How are you putting the candy
on there?
It's just glued, right?
- Yeah, it's hot glue.
- Huh, interesting.
But you've been criticized
for being a little rough
around the edges.
You know, the stakes
are very high.
And you've really got to wow us
to get into that top three.
All right.
Can't wait to see it.
Hi, Jinkx.
You're not known for being
a seamstress.
- No.
- What are you doing?
- Well, I want to do, like,
Christmas in July candy cane
reindeer monster kind of thing.
- Wait now.
Say that again slower for me,
because I'm trying to get that
all up in there.
- Christmas in July candy cane
reindeer monster.
- Do you think it's too much,
though?
This your Candy Couture look.
- Yes.
- But where's the candy?
- Well, I'm going to look like
a candy cane overall.
- It's a candy challenge.
Where the candy at?
- And I'm very excited to give
the Sweet 16 a sh*t.
- Now, you know we're not
talking 1916, right?
- [laughs] Yeah.
Is it okay if I'm sweet 16
but in the '70s?
- Well, the judges have
challenged you
to be a little more, you know,
modern, contemporary.
Good luck.
- Thank you, Ru.
- Hey, Detox.
- Hi, Ru.
- So how are you gonna bring it
for your Candy Couture?
What do you have planned?
- I'm so in love
with acid green,
and I really want to do some
reptilian-looking...
- Uh-huh.
- Funk.
I don't know what I'm thinking
of yet, but I see it in my head.
- Detox's concept right now
is more based on a color.
I'm not seeing the candy
inspiration in it.
- I'm just trying to play it
all by ear.
- Well, now, looking
around the room,
it looks like you're
a little bit behind.
Now, last week, you were
in the bottom two.
- I know.
- There's a certain expectation
that, um, really just hasn't
been met.
I don't know what to say
about that.
- Right. I don't...
I don't either, honestly.
- Are you passionate about
becoming America's next drag
superstar?
- It's kind of like a slap
in the face.
Of course I want to be America's
next drag superstar.
That's what I want.
It's something
that I've always wanted.
- All right, get to work.
See you in a minute.
Roxxxy Andrews.
- Hey, Ru.
- Now, top four,
every moment counts.
- It's $100,000 at stake here.
- $100,000 at stake.
- And that's no game.
It's gonna be a fight
till the end, baby.
- So tell me about your
Candy Couture outfit.
- My Candy Couture,
I'm going very extravagant,
very extravaganza.
- Now, how's your body-ody-ody
gonna play into this outfit?
- Well, it's a corset,
so I kind of brought it up
over here
so that you could still get
a shape on that side,
a good silhouette.
- Uh-huh.
Well, just, you know, make sure
it flatters your figure
and that, you know, you can
serve true Roxxxy Andrews.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know?
- Yeah.
Ru's looking at me funny,
and I'm not sure that he likes
what I'm doing.
- Yeah, yeah. Wow.
- Now what am I gonna do?
- You better bring some hard
Roxxxy candy on the runway.
Get back to work.
- Thank you, Ru.
- All right.
All right, gather around,
my little gumdrops.
Now, tomorrow at the Sugar Ball,
we'll be joined my our
extra special guest judges,
CSI star Marg Helgenberger...
- I love her!
- Whoo!
- And fashion's most delicious
designer.
Bob Mackie will be here.
[all gasp]
- What?
- Shut up!
- Ahh!
- Bob Mackie has done
Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, Cher,
everybody.
He's a master at what he does.
- No pressure.
- Right.
- And there's just one more
thing.
In addition to creating your
three sickeningly sweet looks,
you need perform a Sugar Babies
opening number.
Now, Alaska, as the winner
of the mini challenge,
you're in charge
of the choreography.
- Oh!
[laughs]
- Oh, god.
- Get your bowleg on.
all: Get your bowleg on.
Get your bowleg on.
- Alaska's got
about this much rhythm.
So this is gonna be
a hot f*cking shitty mess.
- I expect to see sugar and
spice and everything nice,
so don't f*ck it up.
See you later.
[indistinct chatter]
- After Ru's walk-through,
I look over, and Roxxxy's look
is completely gone.
- Ru said something
about my silhouette, so...
at this point in the game,
if she's saying something,
it's for a reason.
- Right.
- I'm starting
back at square one.
I'm going with this licorice.
It looks like spaghetti.
This licorice is so thin.
But I'm putting on there
one at a time.
It's so tedious.
So this much time,
this much work.
- [whistling]

- Jinkx, really?
I'm stressed right now.
I have a lot to get done.
Like, girl, could you please

And Jinkx is going super fast.
It seems like she's trying to be

and that's throwing the rest
of the group off.
- The reason I keep
getting off, Roxxxy...
you pass by me so close

We're all sort of at least
faking our way through
the lip sync, but, like,
Roxxxy's just, like, not moving
her mouth at all.
It's like, "Oh, okay."
- Do you want me and Detox
to end
with both of our hands up?
Or the right on the right hand,
left on the left hand,
and you in the middle?
- Yeah, that.
- Am I in the middle or
the side?
Where do you want me?

I don't think
that it's anybody else's
responsibility
except for Alaska's.
- Whew!

We all have a lot to do.
We have three looks to plan
for tomorrow.
And the tensions are high,
so let's get to f*cking work.
- So, girls,
it's awfully quiet.
- Yeah, girl, we got work
to do.
- [yawns]
[snores lightly]
There is still so much to do.
And the narcolepsy kicks in,
and it's a struggle just to keep
my eyelids open.
I can't even see what I'm
looking at anymore.
[can rattling]
Oh, f*ck.
I'm starting to get so tired.
Like, I'm half asleep,
trying to make a dress.
When I shake myself out of it,
I look at my dress,
and I'm like,
"What the f*ck happened?"
This isn't what I wanted it
to look like.
I'm panicking, yeah.
- I've never seen Jinkx
so freaked out,
on the verge of tears.
A little part of me is so happy,
because the judges are finally
gonna see
that she's a whole hot
shitty trailer Christmas mess.
About time.
- Ugh!
- [fake crying]
- It's elimination day,
and we have a lot of work to do
for this Sugar Ball.
At the end of today, there will
only be three of us.
It's scary.
- Is it hideous,
or is it not hideous?
- I mean, it's a lot of stuff
going on.
- I mean, a big part of me
just wants to ditch
the big hoop skirt thing,
but then I only have candy
on my corset.
- Right.
- I'm going back and forth.
It's like cut this and lose
most of the candy
and most of the work I did
or keep this
and risking looking like
a complete joke on the runway.
I feel like an idiot.
- How much work does everyone
have left to do?
- I still have to, like, finish
this jewelry up
and then put a strap
on this dress.
And then I'm gonna start working
on hair.
Did you change anything?
- I just added some more candy,
And I need to finish adding
candy.
I'm liking it a lot much better
now I added these little
carnation things to it.
I'm gonna do a couple more.
- I love it.
- Detox's Candy Couture outfit
doesn't look candy-inspired
in the slightest.
Herein lies the problem
of having a best friend
in this competition.
Roxxxy's so close to Detox,
she can't bring herself to say,
"Detox, that dress doesn't read
as candy."
- Aw, f*ck. g*dd*mn.
What is wrong with this?
I don't know why
it isn't going on.
It's f*cking pissing me off.
We're completely running out
of time.
This was supposed to just go on
and look good,
and that's not happening.
[object clatters]
What the f*ck was that?
Aah!
- What just happened?
- The candy is falling off.
Chunks of the cotton candy
clouds are just shattering.
- f*ck cok-sucking hell sh*t.
I broke my entire outfit, so...
- What?
- I don't know how this thing's
going to get down the runway.
I'm completely panicking
right now.
Ow.
- Alaska and Jinkx,
they're both the weakest
in the competition.
- Jesus Christ.
- It's time for them to
lip-sync for their life.

sexting.
- Mom, you've ruined
everything!
- Next up, Jinkx Monsoon.
Oh, hippy girl.
Almost Famous.
- This is Pacific Northwest
stoner chick extravaganza look.
- Jinkx, I read your diary,
and we need to have a talk.
- My name's not Jinkx anymore.
It's Dreamcatcher.
[laughter]
- Up next, Roxxxy Andrews.
- Usher is performing
at my sweet 16.
- Oh!
- She got a marshmallow ring?
- Yeah!
- Where my peeps at?
- I'm loving every minute.
The judges are smiling.
I'm giving them 16-year-old
realness.
- She's 16 going on sickening.
[laughter]
Up next, Detox.
- She's a Pink Lady.
- Pink Ladies rule the school.
- Yeah.
- My sweet 16 look is
'80s-inspired.
I'm working this lollipop,
sexy sweet 16.
- Rizzo's P.G.
- Pass it on.
- [laughs]
- Category is Sugar Mama,
executive realness.
Alaska.
- Cougar lady.
- Yes.
She's serving Barbara Corcoran.
[laughter]
- This woman takes her job
very seriously.
She's coming to visit
the construction site,
and, by god, there better not be
any bullshit.
- Tear down that bitch of
a bearing wall.
[laughter]
Jinkx Monsoon.
Darling, it's Lacroix, darling.
It's Lacroix.
[laughter]
- I am just camping it
down the runway
with every utensil I could find
stuck in my little French twist.
- She does give good
headmistress.
Roxxxy Andrews.
- Pork bellies?
Sell! Buy! No!
- Tina Knowles, I'm not buying
your line.
- Yes.
[laughter]
- I'm in my little short velvet
dress with my gummy bears,
and I am feeling sickening.
C-E-oh-no-she-didn't.
- Up next, Detox.
Serving Mugler.
- Oh, yeah.
- No lady is ever sure
at night.
- That's right.
- I've Angel perfume and
my Thierry Mugler bag.
Take that and suck on it.
- Love that blazer.
It's a real power top.
- [cackles]
Kind of like me!
- [laughs]
Category is Candy Couture,
edible eleganza.
First up, Alaska.
I think the material is
a cotton candy blend.
- I was having
some serious issues
with this cotton candy
fantasy.
So I'm feeling beautiful and
right,
but please, candy couture,
don't fall apart.
- Fluff the magic drag queen.
- Mmm.
- Jinkx Monsoon.
It's a hard candy Christmas.
- And her breath
is minty fresh.
I decided not to wear
that damn hoop skirt,
and I couldn't be more pleased
with the way it turned out.
I am the Abominable Snow Jinkx.
- Peppermint patty realness.
- This is a stag party.
[laughter]
- Roxxxy Andrews.
- Ooh.
- Wow, taste the rainbow.
- b*tches.
- Those judges cannot take this
coutureness.
Miss Thing, I know
my body looks right.
This licorice is exactly where
I need to be laying.
- Melts in your mouth.
- I wonder if her panties are
edible too.
- They are.
- Detox.
Very Splenda in the grass.
- My candy couture look,
it's Detox.
It's electric.
It still has a little touch
of the '80s.
- Lollipopulence.
- Yes.
- Is that some black licorice
I see?
- Uh-huh.
Licorice and lace.
Coming up...
Which one of you sweethearts
does not deserve to be
in the top three?
[dramatic music]
- [laughing]
Welcome, ladies.
Thanks to your candy couture,
I've got a cavity.
And it's throbbing.
Now it's time
for the judges' critiques.
First up, Alaska.
- Hi.
- Alaska, so Sugar Babies was
really cute.
I thought that it was
a little simple.
But your sweet 16, perfection.
- I see these girls all over
my part of Los Angeles. [laughs]
And I love how you committed
to the character.
- The cougar lady,
perfect in every way.
And the cotton candy is, to me,
the best representation of
candy.
I knew exactly what you were
when you walked out.
That's important.
- All right, next up
Jinkx Monsoon.
- The Sugar Babies number,
you really stood out,
'cause I did like your
googly-eye bit.
- Your sweet 16 party girl,
Like, she didn't feel young
at all.
- When I walked
into the werk room,
you had a big hoop skirt
that you had doctored and...
- Oh, yes.
I think it was a good choice
not to try to do too much
in one look.
- Jinkx, you break my heart.
I really want to see candy
glued to every piece of fabric
that you have on.
A hoop skirt
would have allowed you
to glue more candy onto
your outfit.
- Up next, Roxxxy Andrews.
- Your sweet 16 party girl,
I love that you did the edible
marshmallow jewelry,
although she was a really
promiscuous-looking 16-year-old.
- The executive look, I love.
You just looked like a bitch
on wheels.
I loved it.
- You reminded me of
The Devil Wears Prada.
And I love the candy couture
outfit.
You should make it for yourself
out of real fabric,
because you look great in it.
It's so flattering.
- Up next, Detox.
- I liked your sweet 16
'80s look...
your attitude, the jacket.
And the sugar mama executive
reminded me of, like,
Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.
- Your candy couture, though...
girl, it's a stretch.
- It's unfortunate that there's
a disconnect
between buying something
off the rack
versus designing something for
yourself.
And it makes me question
your taste level.
- All right.
Thank you, Detox.
Ladies, I hate to end
on a sour patch,
but I have one
final question.
Which one of you sweethearts
does not deserve to be
in the top three and why?
Starting with Jinkx.
- The one who has fallen short
most often up here is Detox.
- Alaska, same question.
- I would say Jinkx Monsoon.
I absolutely love her, but
I feel like there's maturing
that I would like to see.
- Roxxxy Andrews?
- Jinkx Monsoon.
The challenges that she needed
to step outside of her box
and design and be creative,
she didn't do well.
I had to be funny where I had
to be funny.
And it when it landed me
in the bottom,
it landed me in the bottom.
- Detox?
- I do agree
with the other girls.
It's not really a school
for girls.
It's a competition for the best
of the best.
- All right.
Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
Now, while you untuck in the
Interior Illusions Lounge,
the judges and I
will deliberate.
[engine starts]
All right.
Just between us "goils,"
what do you think?
Let's start with Alaska.
- Alaska really brought three
fully realized looks.
I liked her sweet 16 number.
- The only thing is, I would've
maybe have liked to have seen,
like, a light color dress.
Like, why black?
- It's the days of wearing
a lot of fluffy pink
doesn't exist anymore.
You know, they want to look like
a whore.
[laughter]
- What's wrong with that, Bob?
[laughter]
- The executive sugar mama,
she committed to who she was
bossing around.
I loved it.
- It could go really bad
for a man in drag
wearing a blazer
and a pair of slacks.
But the way she cut it in
at the waist,
the way she padded herself,
I bought it.
- I thought the candy costume
was the only one that really
said candy when she walked out.
And I think she knows how to use
those legs.
- She's bowlegged.
[laughter]
- Yeah, she is,
but, boy, from the crotch down,
she's a star.
[laughter]
- Detox.
- Her sweet 16 just left me,
like, "Ugh. Really?
I feel like you can do better
than that."
I'm not getting what I want
from her.
- The executive look,
what I liked most
about it was the crazy-ass hair
juxtaposed with that, like,
very sleek suit.
- She was very prepared with
the fashion that she brought.
But then when she is asked to do
something from scratch, like,
the taste level, like,
disappears.
- If they're gonna design
their own dress,
they have to know
how to work that dress.
She didn't work it at all.
She never did anything
except just stumble over it
and trip all over it.
- Roxxxy Andrews.
- Roxxxy was the only one
who brought candy
to each and every one
of her looks.
- The sugar mama executive,
I loved her attitude.
There was something...I kind of
liked that it was a short dress,
and she's kind of got, you know,
muscular thighs.
- Her candy couture was my
favorite of the night.
- But we didn't know
that was candy.
- But she worked it.
- When I was backstage
with her,
she had something completely
different,
something that looked like
a candy-coated Dorito.
- [laughs]
That sounds good.
- Yeah, it sounds delicious.
But I questioned it, and she
changed it, you know?
And that's the sign of someone
who is paying attention.
All right,
moving on to Jinkx Monsoon.
- I think she's a terrific
performer.
But as far as the candy couture
outfit goes,
it just didn't really work.
- If you can't tell that your
'70s-inspired look
isn't really doing
the sweet 16 thing,
I don't know when you're gonna
know that.
- She looked like Bette Davis
in Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte.
- [laughs]
- I mean, truly.
That long wig
and that weird lacy, ugly dress.
- Jinkx kind of failed
at every single one
of the things tonight,
although I did feel, really,
that she was getting thrown
under the bus by Rolodex here.
- Rolaskatox.
- Yeah. They're Rolodex.
I think they were like, "Oh,
let's get to the top three
together."
It was like season one
of Survivor.
- [laughs]
- Silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
[laughing]
Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Alaska, your candy couture gave
the judges a real sugar rush.
You are the winner
of this week's challenge.
- Ahh!
[applause]
- You've won a private portrait
session
with celebrity photographer
Austin Young.
- I'm in the top three.
I am so happy.
- Roxxxy Andrews, I'm gonna
keep this short...
and sweet.
You're safe.
Condragulations.
You've made it
to the final three.
You may step to the back of
the stage.
Detox, Jinkx Monsoon,
I'm sorry, my dears,
but you are up for elimination.
- It's more than I can even
process right now.
My body, it's all numb.
- I'm pissed off that I'm here.
It's devastating.
- Two queens stand before me.
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.
- The lights go down, and
the last things I say to myself
are "I love you, Nana" and
"water off a duck's back."
- Good luck.
And don't f*ck it up.

Jinkx Monsoon,
shantay, you stay.
Detox, you had me hooked
from day one,
and I can't get you
out of my system.
And now
neither can anyone else.
Now sashay away.
- It's been so magical and
so humbling.
Thank you so much, from
the bottom of my heart.
- Thank you, Detox.
- I'm gonna miss
all of you guys.
I love you.
I love you so much.
- [yells]
It really f*cking sucks
that I didn't all the way
to the top three,
like I had intended to.
A better fit
would've definitely been
to have me in the top three.
But I just can't thank Ru
enough.
The only thing I have left to
say is...I've had it.
Bye.
- The top three.
One final challenge stands
between you and $100,000.
Now 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!
