[bunniefuu]

[RuPaul] Previously on
RuPaul's Drag Race...

We're not just having one premiere.

We're having two premieres.

And you lucky seven

are the first group of queens.

♪ I-- I-- I'm that bitch ♪

♪ I-- I'm that bitch ♪

♪ I'm that bitch ♪

[cheers and applause]

Literally, I would steal that line.

It was some next level sh*t.

[RuPaul] Widow Von'Du,
you're a winner, baby!

[applause]

This week, no one's going home.

[sighs]

[suspenseful music playing]

Made it.

Live another day, girl.

Oh, my God.

We're back in the work room
after our elimination

and everybody's gagged.

So what do you guys
think happens from here?

Girl, I have no f*ckin' idea.

-Anything could happen.
-[Gigi] Exactly.

-Yeah.
-[Widow] I think what's going

to happen is, this is going
to happen again but not with us.

-[siren blaring]
-I...

[RuPaul over speaker] Whoo, girl!

She done already done had herses.

What's happening?

-Bitch, what?
-[Nicky] Again!

What's going on?

I just sat down.

-Hey, ladies.
-Hey.

Good job this week.

So, are you ready to meet
the other queens?

No.

Leave a message on the mirror

and they'll get back to you
as soon as they can.

[chuckles]

-[all] Oh...
-Wait, what?

All right.

I hope these b*tches are ready
to eat the leftovers

because that's usually what you do
when you're number two.

[laughs]

-[Heidi] Give 'em a little kiss.
-Muah!

-[Widow] Yes, honey!
-[Jackie] Okay!

They don't know what's coming to them.

Whoo!

[Brita] Whoever these girls are...

I hope they brought their A game,

because we are serving it.

[all] We done already done had oursus.

Good luck, bitch.

[tires screeching]

[RuPaul] Welcome to the second premiere

of RuPaul's Drag Race 2020!

All tuck and no play makes

Rock M. crazy bitch!

[cackles]

Whoo!

Whoo!

[whooping]

I'm Rock M. Sakura
and am I really Japanese?

Who knows?

Is it cultural appropriation?

We'll find out.

Stay tuned.

Where should I go next?

Should I just sit on the stairs?

[Rock] A lot of my influences come from

anime, manga, and video games.

Rock M. is very indicative
of Rock'em Sock'em Robots,

because I got big arms like these.

How sturdy are these tables?

I am a high energy comedy anime queen

that can dance, sing.

She's just a big expl*si*n
of legs and arms

and some other body parts

that you might not even
want or care to see.

[grunts]

It's so exciting to be here.

This is my chance to show the world

that I am a superstar.

What's over here?

"We done already done had oursus."

What does it mean?

Were there people that are already here?

Oh, no!

There's already stuff here.

[exclaims]

Are you ready to live a little?
Sin a lot?

I'm Dahlia Sin and I'm here
to take your man.

Ew. Heh.

I'm from the Haus of Aja,

who you might know from
Season 9 and All Stars.

The Haus of Aja
is definitely known for drama.

All we do is talk sh*t about-- heh--

Talk sh*t about everyone.

-Hi, honey.
-[Rock] Hi, queen!

-Welcome, new sister.
-[Dahlia] How are you, babe?

Ah, mwah, you look like a chandelier.

-Like a sexy denim chandelier.
-Oh, oh, oh, oh.

-Come on, denim. That's good.
-[Dahlia] Ah!

I'm Rock M. Sakura.

-Oh, okay, bitch.
-I'm from San Francisco.

-Okay, nice, bitch.
-What about you?

Well, I'm from New York
but I currently live in L.A.

-Okay.
-And we're gonna win.

[stammers]

Uh, don't count out San Francisco yet.

I actually live for San Francisco.

-Oh, yeah.
-San Francisco queens

are kind of comedy queens.

L.A. is more of a look.

Okay, when I get there,

the first thing they notice is the smell.

[both laugh]

I definitely consider myself
a l'queen.

My style is very banjee. It's fierce.

It's better than all these other b*tches

that are going
to be on this show. [laughs]

Hope you saved room for dessert,
'cause I brought pie!

[giggles]

I'm Sherry Pie and
I am the queen of camp. Ooh.

You're a funny little lady!

[vocalizes]

Sherry is a big, loud, Broadway dame.

When you enter a Sherry Pie show,
I expect nothing less than laughs,

hoots, and hollers.

-[Rock laughs]
-[Dahlia] Yes! Yes!

Hi!

Season 12!

[Sherry] I'm so excited.

I want that crown on top of my wig.

I'm like, gagged, gooped, beguiled.

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered.

That's a musical theater reference.

For all you kids out there. Hello.

-I'm Rock M.
-Hi.

Rock M. Sakura. I'm from San Francisco.

I haven't really seen the drag there.
What's it like?

My brand is very like dumb humor.

-Slay.
-If you think about it,

driving to the gig and be like,
"This song is dumb.

I want to do it like this
and dress like a hotdog."

Oh!

-I want a hotdog real bad.
-[laughs]

-Okay, I'm gonna stare at myself.
-[Rock laughs]

[whistle blows]

-Oh.
-Oh.

Hey, y'all! Let's play some basketball!

Yeah!

[buzzer buzzes]

I'm Jan, I'm 26,
and I'm from New York City.

I hope everybody caught the reference.

If you heard Fergie sing
in the National Anthem

at the NBA All-Stars game, you know,

that she ended that saying,
"Let's play some basketball."

Basketball?

I am wearing
my varsity cheerleader outfit.

My look just really encapsulates
everything that I am as a drag queen.

It's fun, it's flirty,

but it's fierce.

-Ahh!
-[Rock] Hi!

I gagged to see Jan come in.

She's a New York City sister.

She has an amazing voice.
She's amazing actress.

-Hi, I'm Jan. Nice to meet you.
-Jan, nice to-- Oh, Jan--

Jan ****, right?

Uh, it's just Jan.

Just Jan, yeah.

-Yeah!
-Just Jan.

There's come on, New York,
in the motherfuckin' house, bitch!

-I know, girl!
-New York City!

[all laughing]

[Jan] Coming up
in the New York City scene,

I really, really wanted to get to the top

very, very quickly.

I'm really ambitious, I'm very driven,
and I don't apologize for that.

And I'm just ready to go Team Jan.

What's that mean?

That's message is-- is--

[Jan] Oh, Jesus!
People are-- Oh, like, wait.

There's already queens here, girl.

[Jan] Some of these stations are filled.

I'm shocked. I'm confused.

-[Jan] Oh...
-Oh! Oh! Oh!

Hey, b*tches!

She's here!

She is a woman.

Hey, b*tches, it's Jaida Essence Hall,

the essence of beauty.

And I'm here to slay the competition.

[Jaida] When Jaida walks into a room,

she's very classy, very bougie.

She smells like money.

[indistinct]

[Jaida] I look fabulous.

I'm wearing something
that's off the shoulder

so you can catch all of these shoulders

and all of that good jush up here.

[Sherry] Her shoulders,
that's all I can talk about,

are her gold glistening shoulders.

They should sell her shoulders

at Barneys.

-[all] Hi!
-Hi, welcome!

You look hot.

-I'm living for the b*at, bitch.
-Thank you.

I have to say
this color looks beautiful...

-Thank you.
-...on you, by the way.

-Thank you.
-[Rock] You look amazing.

-Thank you.
-She's like, "You're welcome."

[laughs]

Although I support
any other styles of drag

and I like the art of it,

for me, drag is...

exuding, like, feminine energy.

I don't consider myself really
too much as a drag queen,

but more of a female impersonator.

[Jan] What's your drag like?

I sew professionally,
I have a fashion line--

-So did you make this?
-[Jaida] Yes, I made it.

Like, 99 percent of the things
that I brought, I made.

Wow.

What do you feel like
is mainly your style of drag?

I'm a singer, really,
that's my main thing that I do.

-Sing something right now.
-[Jan] Yeah.

♪ Hey ♪

-Oh!
-[Jaida] My turn.

[raspy voice] ♪ Hey ♪

[all laugh]

How about you sing
and then she lip-syncs it?

Five, six, seven...

♪ Hey ♪

♪ Ah ♪

Yay!

-What?
-[several queens] Oh!

Season 12 is about to be in-Zhane.

We gotta a spooky queen.

I am Aiden Zhane and I am here

to slaughter the competition.

[Sherry] Okay...

She's the odd one.

I think the other queens
are immediately gonna be like,

"Oh, this is the weird bitch."

People would probably
describe my drag as...

kind of mysterious.

I don't think there's really
another drag queen out there

that you can compare me to.

You can try, but... good luck.

[all exclaiming]

-I'm Sherry!
-Aiden.

You can sit next to me. I love crazy.

Tell us what your scene's like?

Well, um, isn't that the question.

-[all laugh]
-Do you have the answer?

Atlanta, it's not very diverse, I guess.

You know, I wish there was,
there was more room for just crazy.

Is that what you do?

Uh, yeah, I'm definitely
a little bit psychotic, so...

-[Jan] Whoa!
-[Sherry] Sickening.

So, if I'm coming to see you in a show,

what do I expect?

Um, I'm definitely...

an actress, first of all.

Like, I love to emo,
I love to give expression.

When you say you're an actress...

do have drama training?

No, I don't have any like,
actual background training in acting.

[Jan] Where do you perform?

See, the closest city from me
to perform is Atlanta.

And it's like an hour away.

How many times a week do you perform then?

None a week, currently.

Like, well then, how do you do drag there?

[laughs]

[Aiden] My drag background,

I would say, is a lot different
from a lot of queens.

I don't have the same
performance background

because I don't have drag family,

I don't have that many drag friends,

but don't let that fool you.

We need to talk about this
mysterious message on the mirror.

[Rock] It says,

[all] "We done already done had oursus."

Are we having another
Shangela or Vanjie moment?

I think it's a Season 6 moment

where half of the dolls are already here.

[Rock] We should Nancy Drew it.

[Jan] I want to try to clock the spook.

Damn, some of this stuff looks real cute!

Some of it also looks real tacky.

[all laugh]

[Jan] Can we just take a bunch
right now since they're not here?

-I think we should hide them in the--
-[alarm blares]

-[all exclaim]
-[RuPaul] Ooh, girl!

[RuPaul] She done already done had herses!

-[all clamoring]
-Bam!

My queens.

[cheering]

Remember, it's not about who comes first,

-it's about who comes hardest.
-Ooh.

So put some Fosse in your posse

and razzle dazzle me.

Five, six, seven, eight--

Oh, wait a minute.

There's only six of you.

For now.

Oh, no!

-[RuPaul cackles]
-Bitch!

What's a Fosse?

Hello, hello, hello!

-[all exclaim]
-Oh, my God!

[Dahlia] It's RuPaul!

Welcome to the second premiere

of RuPaul's Drag Race 2020!

[cheers and applause]

Now, you may have noticed that
you're not the first queens to arrive.

-Yeah.
-I see.

Now, this week, you six
get your very own premiere.

So we can scrutinize

every inch of your charisma,
uniqueness, nerve, and talent.

-Oh.
-Hashtag Drag Race.

So, to kick things off,

we want to see what you're packin'.

So, for today's mini challenge,

you need to model a spring and fall look

worthy of a star-studded

fashion week runway show.

-Yeah!
-Whoo!

[Jaida] I'm so excited that there are
two runway looks on day one.

I'm excited to see
who the hell is gonna be out here.

I want to meet some celebrities,

and just show these judges
exactly what I'm made of.

Are you all ready to change the world?

[all] Yay!

I'll see you on the runway.

Let's go.

[all screaming]

[Rock] It's faster this way!

[laughter]

Michelle, it's Andre Leon Talley.

-Don't look.
-[Michelle] Okay.

-I owe him 20 bucks.
-Oh, no.

We have our very first
mini challenge today

and it's anything but mini.

We have to do a spring and a fall look.

I don't want to have like,
a fashion disaster.

Fingers crossed.

Serving spring eleganza...

Rock M. Sakura.

[Michelle] Anime-azing!

[Rock] I know that RuPaul's there,

but I can't tell who
any of the other people are

because I am in focus mode.

Rock M.'s spring look
is inspired by Comme des Garçons,

and I can feel my full Harajuku fantasy.

I drew this design myself

because I want them to see
my full range of talents.

I want them to look at the picture

and then look at me and go,

"She is a drawing come to life."

[RuPaul] Come on, afro-puff.

[Ross] If you can't wear yourself,

how the hell are you going
to wear somebody else?

[judges laugh]

[RuPaul] Dahlia Sin.

[Michelle] Now, that's Andre Neon Talley.

[RuPaul] Oh, okay.

-[Ross] Sin is in.
-[judges laugh]

[Dahlia] I got my drag name based off of

The Black Dahlia

and the seven deadly sins.

[Dahlia] I'm feeling very sexy

with my big orange
pumpkin wig and my fat ass,

'cause my body is everything
when I'm doing my runway.

[Not Hart] That lip-gloss is poppin'.

By her lip-gloss, I mean her ass.

[judges laugh]

[RuPaul] Sherry Pie.

[Michelle] Look, it's Sherry Tasselhoff.

She's huge in Germany.

[laughter]

[Sherry] I want to come in
as the camp queen

who also can do fashion.

So, Sherry Pie is giving you
some old Hollywood,

some old New York City.

I am dripping in florals for spring,

groundbreaking.

[RuPaul] Ooh, yeah, honey,
you better slice me some of that pie.

[Ross] That pie's got cakes.

[judges laugh]

[RuPaul] Jan.

-No last name. Just Jan.
-Oh.

[Michelle] Marie Jantwinette.

[Jan] When I do my shows in New York City,

normally, I'm in a leotard,

but I'm excited to show people that

I have a different side of me.

You're going to be getting
some looks from me this season.

My spring look is
Dolce and Gabbana inspired

and it could also be interpreted

as a "high on a hill
was a lonely goat herd lady,

yodel-lay-dee, yodel-lay-hee-hoo."

-Choke her? I just met her.
-[both laugh]

[RuPaul] Jaida Essence Hall.

[Ross] Peek-a-boo.

[RuPaul] You're gonna put
somebody's eyes out

-with those things.
-[Ross laughing]

[Jaida] I love just being
really lady like,

very dainty,

but it still got cute details
and it looks expensive as hell.

You see a little bit of peek-a-boo,
and you get a little bit of that sexy,

because that's what Jaida is all about.

-[Michelle] Oh!
-[Ross laughs]

-Punch my titties.
-[laughter]

[RuPaul] Aiden Zhane.

[Ross] The category is: garden hoe.

[Michelle] Ooh.

And a oop!

-[laughter]
-Ah-ooh!

[Aiden] My spring is look, it's very
April showers bring May flowers.

Aiden might be creepy
but she is also colorful and fun.

She loves to be cute, but she's always

got a little freak in her.

[Michelle] The rain in Spain
falls mainly on Aiden Zhane.

[RuPaul] A tree grows in Sylmar.

[Ross laughs]

[RuPaul] Well, you know,
this season is all about

global warming and bugle beats.

Now, serving fashion for fall...

Rock M. Sakura.

Koi toy.

[Rock] For my fall look,

I'm feeling very fish.

I'm wearing a classic mermaid skirt

that's made completely of felt.

I said I felt.

[laughs]

I actually don't have a lot of connection

to my Vietnamese or Filipino background

and the culture that I have adopted is...

cartoons, anime.

TV has raised and shaped me
into the person I am today.

[RuPaul] Don't sh**t till
you see the white of her eyes.

[Michelle and Ross laugh]

[RuPaul] Dahlia Sin.

[Ross] Inspired by Michelle
before electrolysis.

[laughter]

[Dahlia] My fall look is the more
high fashion version of Dahlia.

I give off a very bitch face
when I'm in drag.

[laughs] And people will not talk to me.

I just can't help it, that's just my face.

I'm not really a bitch,

but I can be a bitch.

[laughs]

[Michelle] What becomes a legend most?

-[RuPaul] Alimony.
-[laughs]

[RuPaul] All right,
another helpin' of Sherry Pie.

Straight out of the lovin' oven.

Or was it a Dutch oven?

[Ross laughs]

[Sherry] Sherry Pie's fall runway
is a little bit of Zorro,

is a little bit of Victor Victoria,

and also, I feel a little James Bond.

Girl, I'm giving you all the references

because that's what drag queens
are supposed to do:

give you the fantasy.

[RuPaul] Does anybody still wear...

[all judges] A hat?

[RuPaul] Jan.

Guacamole.

[Ross] This fall from Crocs.

[RuPaul and Michelle laugh]

[Jan] Jan is the girl next door

but she is so much more than just that.

A lot of the things that I like
are very sleek, they're really polished,

they're sexy-- Ariana Grande,
Lady Gaga, Kim Petras--

all those looks wrapped up in one.

[RuPaul] See you later, alligator.

[Ross] After while, crocodile.

[RuPaul laughs]

[RuPaul] Jaida Essence Hall.

I used to room in Jaida Essence Hall.

-Oh! In college, yeah.
-Yeah, in college, yeah, mm-hmm.

[RuPaul] Come on, Tom "Hoard".

[judges laugh]

[Jaida] Growing up, I always
loved fashion, always loved art,

and I never thought that I would
have the chance to do it,

and when I found drag, I'm like,
"Oh, my God, I can do everything

that I've always wanted
to do all the time,"

and it's like home for me.

[Ross] She is such a beret of sunshine.

[judges laugh]

[RuPaul] Aiden Zhane.

-She seems very cozy.
-[laughter]

[Michelle] Somewhere,
there's a bunch of tea kettles

that have no clothes on right now.

[laughter]

[Aiden] Aiden Zhane loves

ugly things,
but fashionable things.

I am definitely a thrifty,
crafty kind of queen.

I'm not really a seamstress,

but I love to piece things together

and, you know, find one item

and kind of map it out from there.

The return of Shields and Yarnell,

minus the Shields.

-And Yarnell.
-[laughter]

Bitch.

-Darling.
-Whoo!

[Rock] I can't wait to see
what you guys look like out of drag.

We've been in drag all morning,

and it is time to reveal the beast...

underneath.

[exclaims]

I really don't want
to see anybody out of drag.

[laughs]

We're taking our clothes off.

I'm looking to the left,
I look to my right.

♪ Da, da, da, da, da ♪

[vocalizing snare drums]

Meh.

[laughs]

My favorite part about
taking off the tights

is feeling that steam from like,

the third or fourth layer come out.

Like some sort of Hot Pocket.

Girl, wow.

[Jan laughs]

[Jaida] That is so gross.

Girl, I'm about to get naked.

I'm... [sniffs]
I can-- I can smell the trade in the room.

Dahlia is trade central.

Oh!

My dumbass didn't have like,
any like, underwear.

So I'm like,
"Well, I guess I'm getting naked."

[laughs]

Like, my whole ass,
just right on the first episode, bitch.

[laughs]

[Jan] Dahlia looks hot,

in and out of drag.

The bitch turns looks.

[Sherry] Ooh, you b*tches
are looking masked for fans.

Say hello to my double chin.
There she is again.

Do any of you have day jobs?
What's your day job?

[Aiden] Just a prep cook,
nothing exciting.

[Sherry] What kind of restaurant?

[Aiden] Uh, IHOP.

So you're good with knifes?
That's good to know.

Aiden looks kinda like backwoods-ish.

[belches]

She looks like she's gonna go huntin'.

You know, go trappin'.

I don't know what people do in the woods.

She's boy now!

Rock M. has the biggest transformation
out of all the girls.

I was not expecting these little muscles.

Little tight booty.

I just want to poke her butt.

[Rock] Aren't you all happy
we're all getting along right now?

-I am.
-Are we?

Everybody here is rotten
and I don't like any one of you.

[laughter]

Hey, squirrel friends.

[all] Hi!

Who are you dudes?

Ladies,

now that you've shown us
your passion for fashion,

we need to see how well
you can captivate an audience.

So, warm up your jazz hands because

for your first maxi-challenge,

you'll be performing
in an original musical number...

called,

"You Don't Know Me."

[queens exclaiming]

Now, each of you needs
to write and perform

an entertaining verse

that tells us who you are.

Word.

And together you need to come up
with the choreography.

-Okay.
-Oh, no!

[Jan] Oh, all right.

Now, this is your chance
to break out from the pack.

So don't f*ck it up.

Yes! Yes!

[Sherry] I'm so excited.

It's a Fosse number,
it is in my wheelhouse.

I'm like, "Yow!"

Gentlemens, start your engines,

and may the best woman win!

[applause and cheering]

Our first challenge is
a Fossesque musical number.

I'm super excited because

I love Fosse and I'm like,

"Girl, we're about to k*ll it."

[female producer] Who's Fosse?

[sighs] She-- Um, he--

A she? He? She? She? He? She?

Girl, Fosse is...

the main character of Chicago--
on Chicago?

Is it? I don't know.

I'm bad with this. Don't judge me.

Oh...

[Jan] Going into this challenge,
I feel pretty confident.

Musical theater is my life.

It's right up my alley

and I can't wait to bowl a f*cking strike.

I'm excited because
it's the first challenge

that we get to do and we get
to showcase our strengths.

I have a show back home

where I do a different musical
every single week.

-Yes.
-I drag it up.

-Yeah.
-So, I'm really excited, actually.

The people who look the most
confident in this challenge

are sitting right next to me.

[clicks tongue]

So, I'm thinking,
"How can I set myself apart

in a very interesting and a fun way?"

Honestly,
I've never written lyrics before,

so I kind of want
to hide behind a character.

I'm thinking of maybe
doing like an accent,

like Fosse 1920s.

I'm thinking about Chicago and Fosse

and all I can think about
is like, a voice like...

[1920s gangster accent]
"Oh, we gotta make someone

who's nice and cut throat, see?"

Have you seen Chicago before?

Uh, no. Yeah, I have.

The-- The show?

No, the city.

Yeah, I've seen the show.

-[laughing]
-[Sherry] Cute, cute, cute.

We desperately need to start
on the choreography.

-Yeah.
-Girls!

Yes, ma'am!

Ladies!

[all scream]

[Rock] Stop!

Who here has done choreography
and stuff like that?

-I have.
-Okay.

Who here has done, like,
musical theater choreography though?

When I was in middle school.
Does that count, bitch?

What were you, Apple Tree #3 on the side?

[Jan vocalizes]

-I was...
-[laughter]

Does everyone know who Fosse was

and what Fosse is all about?

I would've said,
"I know what he's all about."

I'm a little nervous
cause I'm asking these girls

if they know anything about Fosse,

and they're just looking at me

like I got six heads.

[Sherry] The only concern I have
is bringing the Fosse to life.

He's all about details
and being super clean.

Okay, choreographer.

I'm not-- I'm not doing any of that.

Well, Sherry, you seem
to have the most knowledge.

So, you're the choreographer.

[Sherry] But I'm certainly no dancer.

Does anybody feel good about

kind of spearheading the choreography?

I teach a dance class,

but I learn other people's choreography

and then teach that,
but I know about formations

and I know about dancing.

I mean, I would say... Rock.

-I would actually say Rock.
-I'll spearhead it

-if you help edit me.
-Okay.

Yeah, you can be the dramaturge.

-Okay.
-Does anybody know

the style, like, Fosse?

Well, some of the iconic moments come from

-the silhouettes of the dancers.
-Totally.

Like very clean artistic poses.

It's all about those formations.

Right? Like, what is it, a Fosse...

amoeba or whatever, when they like,

when you move like across
the stage, like all together,

but you're all like doing different stuff.

Um, it was so controlled and amazing.

I mean, I think it's like,
cute to make sure that

that's there but at the end
of the day, like,

we're doing our own rendition of it.

We don't want to, like,
purposely make anybody look bad.

You know what I mean?

Ooh, I guess we need to decide, like,

do we really want to stick to
the Fosse style and make sure

that is the thing that
we put at the forefront?

I mean, the last thing we want
to do is come out like,

Broadway, baby.

We want to make sure like,
everybody's comfortable.

What?

Of course it needs to be a Fosse number.

Oh, my God.

This is a Fosse challenge.

Have I taken crazy pills?

Have I lost my mind?

No, you've lost your damn mind.

Oh, God.

[all chattering]

[Jan] I'm so excited!

The time has come for us

to learn some choreography
for our main stage,

Fosse-inspired number.

-This is huge.
-This is major, actually.

We have to choreograph
this number ourselves.

And this is day one.

We just met each other three seconds ago?

[Rock] Okay, I think for the Fosse style,

we should start off like,
silhouetted first.

-Cute.
-So, very dynamic shapes

and levels.

I'm thinking high to low.

High levels, medium levels,

and then the two in the front
are going to be low and high.

I want to make these b*tches look fierce.

I want whoever the other girls are

to know that our group,

is going to kick their asses.

Every time we do a new pose,

I think we should change the levels.

So, if you're low, go high.

I feel like that's going to be a lot.

But it's only like, two or three.

-Okay. Okay.
-[Rock] So...

[Jaida] 'Cause that just confused me.

[Jaida] I am very concerned

because I know that learning choreography

is not my strongest suit.

So, we don't have to really produce
a Broadway production

because we don't have that much time,

and sometimes, that could take years.

All right, hit your high poses.

Hit your medium poses.

Aiden, that looks too kung fu.

Go for Fosse.

'Cause your like a crazy Fosse character.

So be like... [clicks tongue]

[Aiden] I am a horror queen,

not a Fosse queen.

Can we do one of those Fosse blobs,

where we all huddle like this,

and she has us
to work off of like a shelf?

I don't get it.

I repeat, I'm not a dancer.

I'm thinking, like, we need
to incorporate this move,

and I'm wondering if we do this
to start out the first verse.

So it's...

♪ Bum, ba, dum, dum ♪

[Jaida] One, two, three.

♪ Dum, dum, dum ♪

Got to your spot.

-[Sherry] Pose.
-[Rock] Yeah.

Okay, so that is significantly easier

for everybody who is high.

Not for somebody who is down here.

That's what I was trying to say,
'cause I don't want anybody,

like, struggling and be like--

Let's try it one more time and see.

-Let's just figure it out.
-We need to get off

the beginning, yeah,
this is taking too long.

[Sherry] ♪ Running out of time ♪

Jaida feels like...

we are wasting time
trying to do little details.

But at the same token,

we can't be basic b*tches
doing a box step.

It has to be good.

Here, I have an idea.

So, pose, melt.

Pose. Pivot. Turn.

-Walk to a spot and hit it.
-[Rock vocalizing beats]

-I like that.
-[Rock] Okay, then let's do that.

We have wasted a lot of time.

Stressful.

[scoffs] Yeah.

[Jaida] I'm getting
a little frustrated because

it's really hard to learn the choreography

when it's always changing.

Bitch, let's do this and get it movin'.

I-- I...

I have a really crazy idea.

Because this is just the beginning,
we gotta get this done.

-Okay...
-[Sherry] I think we should just

do a good old fashioned

click, click... unh!

Unh! And it's mean!

You're all mad!

You're angry!

Keep it simple and detailed.

That's what Fosse is all about.
Not about doing like...

Ooh, ah, ee! [blows raspberry]

[Jaida] That's what I've been saying.

I definitely feel like maybe
my opinions are not valued.

-[groans]
-Let...

From the beginning, I said
we shoulda did something simple.

Didn't listen,
and then now we're stuck here.

The simplicity is now like,
out of the window.

Like, it doesn't really matter
if it's simple,

If people did not catch
where they should be, when they should be.

Do you not feel like
you know the transitions?

-Not really, no.
-Me neither.

-[Jaida] I'm not even gonna lie.
-Like, it's really just walking

-and blocking.
-If you're use to doing that,

then it's walking and blocking,
but if you're not used

to walking and blocking,
baby, it's going to bend.

I mean, but it would
have been that either way.

Either we would've had all the time,

and it would've been
walking and blocking--

But the thing that I'm saying is
if we walked and blocked

when we had time to walk and block,

then people would've had time to learn

where we were walking and blocking to.

You're not really contributing that much
to what we were trying to do.

From the beginning, I said

we did not need
to produce a Broadway show.

I said we need to make sure
it's nice and simple.

You saw that I had offered advice
several times.

I even said, like--

-You said simplify it--
-"Hey, is anybody listening to me?"

-[cross-talk]
-I said simplify, and I offered advice.

Girl, shut the f*ck up.

Everybody stop arguing,
we're just going in circles.

It's making me so f*cking nervous

I am, like, on the verge of tears
at this point.

-Are we doing a last run or is that just--
-No, we're done.

We don't have time.

Well, all right.

All the time has been spent arguing.

What are we going to do now?

We're all just gonna
stand around and be like,

♪ You don't know me ♪

♪ Ah da, da, da, da ♪

♪ I don't have any choreo, yeah ♪

So... [clears throat]

Oh, my goodness,
we're going to fail this so hard.

-[sighs]
-I feel bad because

I feel like I'm responsible for this.

Sorry, guys.

I was put in charge

and I basically sent everyone

off a cliff.

Listen, we're all actors here.

Even if you don't claim to be an actor,

you are an actor, you're a drag queen.

So, sell it
even if you don't know what you're doing.

It's time to buckle up and get ready.

I do not know what's gonna happen
on the main stage after this rehearsal.

Are you going to complain about it?

Or are you going to rise to the occasion

and figure it out?

Ohh, bitch.

Whoo! Whoo!

Boys in the Werk Room!

[Jan] Our very first maxi-challenge

is to perform in a Fossesque number
called "You Don't Know Me."

And today we have to perform it
in front of the judges.

It's all in the bag!

I don't if the girls are going
to be able to bounce back

from that rehearsal that we had.

But I believe in myself
to be able to deliver a performance.

I'm going to be fine.

[Jaida] Last night I was really nervous,

but the thing about it is,
is that I'm a professional

and, bitch, I'm gonna make it work
and turn it out.

Is anybody nervous?

We didn't end too cute on our rehearsal.

Staying up all night in my room.

Every commercial that came on,
putting my headphones in.

[Jaida] I'm nervous for all
of y'all except me.

[laughs]

Listen, as long as Jaida doesn't scream
at me anymore, we'll be fine.

-[all laugh]
-And I'm here for that, bitch.

[Dahlia] I say, f*ck her up, sis.

-f*ck her up.
-[Jaida laughs]

I feel like I need
to let the whole room know

why I've been shutting down a little bit.

I learned a lot about myself
during rehearsal.

I have a whole bunch of triggers.

But, um, I, like,

kind of feel kinda odd
in leadership roles.

-Yeah.
-[Rock] I never want to be

put into a position
where I lead someone to feeling bad.

A big thing when I was growing up
was, um...

my mother was addicted to meth.

-Oh, wow.
-And she was like,

completely addicted to dr*gs.

She took me aside a couple times
and she would say,

"I'm addicted to dr*gs because of you."

"Because-- [sobs]

Because of you--

because of you kids, I'm doing dr*gs."

And I didn't realize until yesterday

that I have these triggers when
I feel responsible for other people.

It kind of puts me in a-- [sniffs]

it puts me in a dark place.

[crying]

That always stuck with me because...

when you love someone so much

and they tell you that you're the--
the reason for their unhappiness, it...

it'll mess with you a bit.

Honestly, you are not responsible
for anybody else's, like, baggage.

In life, you are only responsible
for your own actions.

Like, what anybody else does
is not on you.

Remember to make sure
you take care of yourself first.

Always.

And, Rock, you have us now, bitch.

This is new beginnings for all of us.

If anything, yesterday
I was more offended by your farts.

-Those you should've apologized for.
-[all laughing]

[Rock] There's more coming!

These girls are starting
to understand me a little bit better

than I can understand myself.

And they really care for me even though
we haven't known each other for very long.

You're welcome.

Get shorts that are
a little bit longer next time, okay?

What? Like this?

-[all scream]
-Oh, my God!

Girl!

She brought her cookie cutters, baby.

[Sherry] Oh, my God!

I'm so excited because my first number
that I did in New York City in drag

was based around Chicago.

Oh, word!

And so, I'm like,
"This is so serendipitous."

It's like, "All right, bitch,
you're in the right spot."

Let's do it!

[laughs]

[Aiden] See, you have so much character
to you, you're so bubbly.

Thank you.

I like to think I'm just a cheerleader

on too many caffeine pills.

Like the bitch from Saved by the Bell
who is so excited.

Like, that's me.

I'm a little concerned
right now for Aiden.

Because Aiden was so
in her head in rehearsal

about the dancing.

-Aiden.
-Yeah?

How art's thou feeling?

I know you were, yesterday feeling, like--

I was literally on the verge of tears
yesterday at the end of rehearsal.

-Um...
-I hope that wasn't my fault.

It wasn't that it was
anybody's fault exactly.

I know how you were feeling

and I would never want you to feel...

-like that.
-[Aiden] Yeah.

You have to shake all that off

and just leave everything on the stage

and just k*ll it.

We're going to go out there

and we are going to be giving them
some Fosse realness.

-[Jaida] We had better.
-Hoop.

-[laughing]
-[cheering]

[Thandie] Amazing, Amazing.

[RuPaul] The category is...

Tulle.

First up, Aiden Zhane.

[RuPaul] Oh, my goodness,
I can see her "tool" from here.

[all laugh]

[Michelle] I pity the tulle!

[Aiden] I am serving you
a lime green princess

but as usual
I'm still very wicked in the face.

I feel like a badass.

[Michelle] Whose lime is it anyway?

-[RuPaul laughs]
-[Thandie] Kermit is rolling in his grave.

[Michelle laughs]

[RuPaul] Dahlia Sin.

Now her "tool" is red and engorged.

[judges laugh]

There's an ointment for that.

[Dahlia]
My look is very inspired by the 80s.

Very glam, it's big, it's rocker.

That bitch that walks on the runway,
you're just like,

"Damn, I'm gonna get
what I know best, sex.

[Michelle] Those boots are kinky.

[Thandie] They are so kinky.

[RuPaul] Jaida Essence Hall.

[Michelle]
Would you pull that crap with a net?

[laughing]

[Jaida] I'm ready to show the judges
exactly how elegant I can be.

I feel like a big yellow floaty cupcake

coming down the runway.

Light, airy,

and I have these sickening
shoulders to accentuate

the whole look and tie it together.

[Ross] Butter? I hardly know her.

[Michelle] Very good, Ross.

Yell-ow!

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Jan.

Simply Jan.

[Michelle] Well, she wore her tool belt.

[Robyn] She did doubles.
It's a double entendre.

[Michelle] No, it's a double-en-tulle-dre.

[Jan] I'm bringing the T-O-O-L.

out to the T-U-L-L-E.

And I'm giving you
a fashion-forward silhouette.

I want to do things

that other people aren't going
to think of doing.

It's a win.

[judges] Oh, wow.

[Ross]
That throws a wrench in my plan.

[laughs]

[Ross] Um, this is embarrassing
but I can see her manhole.

[Michelle] Oh, no!

[RuPaul] Rock M. Sakura.

Oh, who's out for Summer?

[Michelle] She's acting quite a-loofa.

[laughing]

[Rock] They told me to do a tulle runway,

I'm gonna do a tulle runway.

I'm wearing eight to 900 yards of tulle.

I have dynamic silhouettes

and big ideas.

[Michelle] Welcome to the netting zoo.

[Thandie] She's a fluffer.

[judges laugh]

[RuPaul] Sherry Pie.

[Michelle] Oh, no!

[RuPaul] Somebody left Sherry Pie
in the rain.

[Michelle] Aww.

[Sherry] I'm just crying my
big bum down the runway.

I just feel like a little
cumulonimbus cutie.

It's campy, it's clever,

it's just kinda whimsical,

in the best way.

[Ross] Does she remind anyone else
of Stormy Daniels?

[judges laugh]

This is what global warming looks like.

-[Michelle] Yeah.
-[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Welcome ladies.

Now It's time for the judges' critiques.

Starting with...

Aiden Zhane.

Hi-eee.

In the fashion show,
you were a sunflower.

It was very, very cute.

You managed to keep things
campy and fashion.

Which is a difficult line to balance.

[Michelle] And then your other look was
very Thanksgiving-y.

-Yes.
-Centerpiece of a table, perhaps.

You had a very meaty tuck.

It could use some work.

-Do you know that already?
-Yes.

Listen, a little duct tape
will fix all those things.

[laughs]

That dress is making my body talk

part one, two, and three.

[laughs]

There's a kind of Grey Gardens vibe.

I'm a little frightened but fascinated.

Right out the box, I was really impressed
with what I saw in that performance.

It was very Sally Bowles.
It was a great, great lip-sync.

Your lyrics say you have
multiple personalities.

Well, honey, I can't wait to see who
walks around that corner next week.

Thank you.

Up next, Dahlia Sin.

In your fashion show,

you gave us the fabulous
neon green with the red hair.

That was a really great pairing.

I loved your sissy-that-sasquatch.

[laughs]

The fur number, I thought that was so fun.

This red is so gorgeous on you.

I just want to make sure that
you are painting loud enough.

Okay. Remember,
nothing's subtle is drag.

Okay.

You've gotta pop
like you're Soju in the first week.

[RuPaul laughs]

Eww.

In your performance tonight

you felt a little nervous to me.

I can feel a little bit of, "Oh, sh*t."

Did you grow up in Vegas?

'Cause in your lyrics you said,
"A big city with lots of sin."

Brooklyn.

[all laugh]

You've won titles?

What were those titles?

Mostly, just you know,

being on the train, being a whore.
Those are more of my titles.

-Uh-huh.
-That's it.

So, what I'm saying is,
I didn't get to know much of you

and I'd like to get to know you
a little bit more.

-I got you.
-Okay.

Up next,

Jaida Essence Hall.
Any relationship to Arsenio?

-Not yet.
-Uh-huh.

"Yes, it's Jaida, the essence of beauty.

The gals, the face, and all that booty."

Those lyrics were spot on.

Like I learned so much about you.

What I felt when I watched you lip-sync,
was your playfulness.

you have that way of moving
that feels very, very natural.

It made me really happy.
It made me smile.

Thank you.

In the fashion show,
I specifically loved the fall look.

I thought that was super-duper chic.

But at the end of the day,

the confidence would've sold any garment.

-Thank you.
-Hmm.

What a delight.

Just beautiful.
You remind of me of a Bollywood princess

-and...
-Oh.

-Josephine Baker all combined.
-Thank you.

I love the tone of that yellow

and I love that you chose
the pink nails with it,

because it looks like you would wear it
to the gayest Easter ever.

[all laugh]

Thank you.

Up next, Simply Jan.

Just Jan.

This tulle look was really smart

because you knew that everybody
was going to come in these

frou frou Vera Wang numbers.

And it was smart to do
something different.

It was smart to pull out the tool.

You have a lot of skills
in your tool belt.

[laughter]

You got frickin' traffic cone earrings.

-I mean, come on!
-Oop.

You're a feast.

I just really, really want
to pay attention to the details.

This is my favorite show.
I listen to the critiques

and I want to apply them to myself
every time I step on the runway.

It needs to be different
every single time.

And you did all of that
the first time we saw you.

Yeah.

When you were out doing
the lip-sync number,

I felt Demi Moore in
the height of her heyday.

This ambition.

Even in your lyrics you say,
"Push further into mainstream

than any queen before."

Hmm?

I have a little issue with that.

[all laugh]

-You have a lot on your to do list.
-I do.

-One thing at a time.
-Yes.

-Show us who you are.
-Yes.

But don't try to do too much.

Yes, thank you.

Up next, Rock M. Sakura.

Hi, hieee.

Let's talk about
your fashion runway looks.

The first one you came out with

the anime loving Spring look.

I drew the illustration
that was on the side.

-[Michelle] Oh, you drew them?
-Yes.

It's anime on acid. It's amazing.

Your performance was very interesting
because you did a kinda 1920s see.

And then you went into scat and...

fart humor, yeah?

Yeah.

-Cause is--
-[laughs]

Yeah, that's a part of me.

At least ten times
in the workroom I farted.

These poor ladies
had to keep reapplying their makeup.

It kept melting off.

You said, "A high kick to a fart

that can send a grown man
back home to his mamma."

-That's right.
-That's always a sign for me

of someone who has something
important to say.

It's true, yeah.

[snorts]

This looks tonight,
you sort of remind me of

any guy who goes on
a date with Michelle Visage.

You are getting swallowed.

[laughter]

Ah!

Can't even argue that.

[laughs] It's a lot.

I would love to just edit everything
down just a skosh.

I love this outfit.

I love how huge and ostentatious it is

and same with your makeup,
it's performance art.

It's not trying just to be beautiful.

So you go for it.

All right, up next,

cut me a piece of that Sherry Pie.

I love a queen that can make me laugh

and your lyrics made me laugh right away.

POV, OMG and LOL.

[laughs]

If Meryl Streep could be a drag queen,

it would be you. It would.

There's something there.

In the fashion show,
the first look was lovely.

You know, it wasn't dynamic
but it was beautiful.

Then she turned around
and came out as Zorro the gay blade.

[all laugh]

I loved everything about it.

It told us a little bit more of
who you are.

Your dress is amazing because
it does something when you move

that is really pleasant to look at.

-Yeah.
-[laughs]

Thank you.

Thank you ladies,

I think we've heard enough.

Now while you untuck backstage,

the judges and I will deliberate.

All right, now just between us
squirrel friends, what do you think?

Aiden Zhane.

I think Aiden knows that she
is different and that that's a cool thing.

And the lip-sync was great but it was
also how she was telling the story.

It was almost listening to like,
a children's book being read or something.

She defines originality.

[Ross] Aiden is a natural.

Watch out for her. She is so memorable.

She's got something
and it's important for her

to fine tune whatever it is that is.

Hm-hm.

[RuPaul] Dahlia Sin.

This is a beautiful girl

who knows how to walk a runway.

And who knows how to put
a look together as well.

Dahlia is beautiful.
Dahlia is sexy.

But Dahlia tries to be sexy.

Cause I'm not a 100% sure

-Dahlia knows who she is yet.
-Hm-hm.

Mhmm.

I feel like she's limiting herself
to just thinking about the aesthetics.

-Hm-hm.
-[Thandie] And I think that sometimes

when your kind of hemmed in by

what your aesthetic value is.

You know, looking gorgeous.

It makes you a little stiff.

[RuPaul] Jaida Essence Hall.

Jaida Essence Hall Pinkett Smith.

-[all laugh]
-Zeta Jones.

Zeta Jones.

She is just so much fun to watch.

She makes me feel like
I want to also get up and dance.

Which is very special.

I was a little concerned
because Jaida has so much poise

that she wouldn't be able to let go

and kinda get dirty and have fun.

But that lip-sync showed me she was down.

[RuPaul] Jan.

Ooh, Jan wants to win.

[laughs]

I think Jan wants my seat.

-[Ross] Yes, she does.
-I think you're right.

Jan pulled out all the stops saying,
"I could do this, I could do this."

Her resume, which I can't blame her for.

I actually kind of loved
that she did all that.

She was a wonderful performer
and hitting that great high note.

The positive energy was so, um,

apparent, strong

and then also, uh, a lot.

-A lot at the same time.
-Yeah.

She's got so many things
going around in her head

that maybe she's not being present enough

to focus on what's happening right now.

[RuPaul] Rock M. Sakura.

I loved Rock M.'s Spring look.

Especially when I found out
that she drew it herself.

That, to me, took it to
this whole other level of,

"Okay, this girl's got something to say."

[Michelle] Her performance was good.

Um,

Fart humor makes everybody laugh.

I just don't know if it was
the first thing she should come out with.

Tonight on the runway, I actually liked
that tulle dress that she had on.

It's a very smartly constructed outfit
because she did have a waist.

Michelle, I have to disagree with you.

-I just--
-Her whole body was shaped out.

Whatcha talking about, Ross?

This is the challenge where
you're supposed to show us who you are.

I couldn't even see her,
let alone Sherry Pie standing behind her.

[laughs]

[RuPaul] Sherry Pie.

I live for this kind of queen.

I mean, this is the kind of queen
where you're using the urinal

and you look up and there's
a flyer for her face up on the wall.

You go, "Oh, hey, what are you
doing tomorrow? She's performing."

[laughs] Wait, who are you
talking to at the urinal?

Who am I not talking to at the urinal.
That's an easier question.

Her performance was so fantastic.

Every little nuance
that she could throw in, she did.

-Uh-huh.
-She's so excited by what she does.

There's a delightedness in her
eyes and a sparkle.

I'm really excited to see what comes next.

All right. Silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back... my... girls.

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Jan.

You're a sharp tool and, girl,

you can belt.

-You are safe.
-Thank you.

Aiden Zhane.

you have multiple personalities.

And tonight,

all of them are safe.

Rock M. Sakura.

Your heart's in the right place,

but you could have left
your fart in San Francisco.

You're safe.

Thank you so much. [cries]

Dahlia Sin.

Beauty is only skin deep.

We want you to go deeper.

You...

are safe.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

[Sherry] I'm confused.

How did we end up at the bottom?

Jaida Essence Hall...

Sherry Pie...

I'm not sorry, my dears.

Because you are the top
two queens of the week.

[applause]

Oh, my God.

Nobody is going home this week.

[cheering]

I'm like, yes!

I'm so excited!

[RuPaul] But...

and it's a big butt.

[all laugh]

There will be one winner.

Two queens stand before me.

Prior to tonight,

you were asked to prepare
a lip-sync performance of

"Call Your Squirrel Friends--"

I mean, "Girlfriend" by Robyn.

Ladies,

this is your last chance to impress me

and win a cash prize...

of $5,000.

-[girls gasp]
-Oh, my God.

Make it rain.

-The time has come...
-[thunder rumbles]

...for you to lip-sync...

for... your... life!

Sherry girl, you cute,
but, bitch, I'm finna get this money.

Good luck,

and don't f*ck it up.

how in the hell you gonna

And speaking of somebody else...

I think the time has come

for you to meet...

Your competition.

Oh!

[Sherry] Here they are,

the other group of girls.

It's like a Clash of the Titans, bitch.

Same, same, same, same camp, camp, same.

Next.

[yawns]

[Jan] I am 100% getting a vibe

that the girls in the other group
think that they're better than us

and that's really cute.

But cute next to gorgeous,

gorgeous is going to, you know,
devour cute.

-[all] Meh.
-Oh!

Did these, b*tches just "meh" me?

I don't know who these queens are,

but I'm ready to show them what I made of.

There's too many b*tches
in the work room.

We gonna send them home like dominoes.

One after the other.

[RuPaul] Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race.

So far you've all been safe
from elimination.

That's about to change.

You'll be improving a show

we like to call, the World's Worst.

We are...

[all] The fruity pa-tootie!

You're broccoli,
but you're in the fruity group?

I'm a fierce brock-ella.

I loved what you did on the runway.

I would love it if you could merge
a beautiful art that you do

with your face.

[laughs]

We were carrying you.

These girls, some of them
are a little bit fake.

Us b*tches are about to start
going home one by one.
