13x11 - Freaky Friday Queens

[bunniefuu]

[RuPaul]
Previously on [/i]RuPaul's Drag Race…

We're playing the Snatch Game!

[cheering]

You're looking f*cking great.

I wrote huge cocks.

[laughs]

-This tastes delicious.
-Oh, oh, oh, dear.

-Utica.
-[Michelle] When Ru comes to you,

you wanna make Ru laugh,
and we didn't laugh.

[RuPaul] Elliott with 2 Ts.

Men.

I was waiting for you to give it,
and, Ru, I never got it.

-[RuPaul] Gottmik.
-[Carson] You did your homework.[/i]

That was genius.

Con-drag-ulations. You are the winner
of this week's challenge.

[cheering]

Utica, shantay, you stay.

Elliott, sashay away.

Oh, Lord.

Whoo, that was a rush.

Bitch, I almost busted my ass.

Oh, Elliott!

I'm sad that Elliott is going home,
but I also feel very empowered,

and I'm glad that
I get to stay another week.

"It took y'all hoes four times
to get rid of me."

-[Gottmik] Yeah!
-[Utica] "Be kind and make it ho."

It did take four times, didn't it?

[Symone] Yeah, it did.

Those who have been in the bottom,
like, it is scary to lip sync.

But doesn't it fuel your soul,
like, to lip sync

and just, like, feel the music and--

-Kandy.
-Oh.

-No.
-[all laugh]

Like, it felt so good.
Like, something was, like, ding!

-It felt good to be in the bottom?
-[laughs] Get out of here!

I am feeling just filled
with a spirit full of love,

because I gave an amazing
lip-sync in my eyes.

I'm just feeling like

I have a new Energizer Bunny battery
inside, and now I really wanna win!

-So, Miss Symone.
-Yes, my love?

-This look this evening.
-Yeah?

-You have me shook.
-[laughs]

[Olivia] So good.

[Symone] I really wanted to somehow

bring a message to the runway.

People are still dying
and things are still happening.

I wanted to be unapologetically Black,

and I wanted to inspire
little gay Reggies out there,

little gay Reginas.

I wanted to make sure they knew
that there was a beacon out there.

-And it is O-f*cking-K.
-Yeah.

I'm not just this Black queen who's pretty

and who can put on a beautiful thing.
I also have something to say,

and my drag,
in and of itself, is activism.

And if I have the chance
and the privilege and the honor

to spread awareness about what happens
to Black people on a daily basis,

then that's what I'm gonna do.

-[Denali] Con-drag-ulations, Miss Gottmik!
-[Tina] Con-drag-ulations!

I am literally dead.

What the f*ck did I tell you yesterday?

-And you f*cking won.
-[laughs]

Those who have had wins or multiple wins,
just, you know, just share the love.

Coming off of Snatch Game, I'm safe again,

so I'm not gonna lie.
I mean, my panties are in a bunch.

Like, if anybody has the only potential
to sneak attack, it's me.

Like, bitch, it's Titanic.[/i]

I am Jack, I fell off the board,
I am sinking.

And now it's time to push Rosé
off that m*therf*cking board

and say, "There's room for me here, too!"

Me!

[imitating Paris Hilton] You guys,
let's go f*cking get outta drag.

-[Tina] Yeah!
-Sounds good!

A few weeks ago, I was
winner, winner, chicken dinner,

and now I am Lunchables.

So I need to really get it together

if I am seeing myself
anywhere near the top in this competition.

You're on Drag Race[/i] to shine.
I mean, like, let's do this.

Wait, you guys, look at Tina's hair!

[Tina] I was wearing the braided hair,

I thought my boy hair would show.
I didn't have time to cut it.

-Let me see!
-[Symone] What did you do?

So I went to the bathroom
and I had a mistake.

-Aah!
-[all laugh]

-[Symone] Wait, wait, oh, no, no, bitch!
-That looks like Olivia's lace.

[all laugh]

-Whoo!
-What was that? [laughs]

It is a new day in the werkroom-iana,

That's crazy.

There's only eight of us now.

Y'all, we survived Snatch Game.

Yeah, we did.

Well, some of us thrived.

[laughs]

[Denali]
I am feeling really, really confident.[/i]

I've been in the top
two weeks back to back,

and I'm ready for a challenge win.

I want it so badly.

Oh, my God, there's, like, no one here.

At least we have more space to do makeup.
Don't have to be on top of each other.

-Yes!
-Ooh.

I get a whole mirror since Elliott's gone.
I'm just gonna keep doing this.

-Just walk, like--
-Right, that'll help your makeup.

-Denali!
-[all laugh]

I think Tina's makeup
has been improving, you know.

-Thank you.
-From what week to what week?

[all laugh]

Boo the f*ck hoo!

Boo the f*ck hoo to you, bitch.
You don't f*cking scare me!

[alarm]

[RuPaul] Ooh, girl![/i]

She done already done had herses.

[Kandy] Come on, ho!

-Little bitch.
-[Olivia laughs]

Welcome to the House of Doppelganger.

From across the room, a familiar face,

and the queen who beats it best
is gonna win this race.

Oh.

Oh, what's going on?

[Denali and Olivia] Doppelganger?

Hello, hello, hello!

[cheering]

My queens!

Hi, Ru!

Now, listen, you've
all been working so hard,

I wanted to give you a little surprise.

Today you're gonna do
a different type of reading.

A psychic reading.

-Oh!
-Oh!

-Werk!
-In a moment you'll be meeting

with internationally renowned medium

and author of The Universe[/i]
is Calling You, [/i]Char Margolis.

[applause]

-Are you excited?
-Yes!

OK, queens, stay right where you are.

Spirits near, spirits far,

take my drag queens straight to Char!

Whoa!

Werk!

-Hi, queens!
-Hi!

My name is Char Margolis,

and I am an intuitive psychic medium.

[Kandy] Baby, I am so nervous,
because Miss Char is about to sit down,

she gonna be like, Miss Thing,

this week is your week. You're going home.

Could you imagine? No, ma'am.

Let's get metaphysical.

You guys have been sequestered

-for quite a long time together, right?
-Yeah.

Did somebody have a change of heart,

where you really disliked someone

and then you ended up really liking them?

You did, right?

Was it him?

[gasps]

Uh, yeah.

When we first got here,
he was very, like, just bland.

-Bland.
-[laughs]

As the weeks went on,
he started to, like, be more himself

and be more out there and be more funny.

Who lived by a lake?

[Char]
Did anyone in your family drive a truck?

My dad.

-Your dad did?
-Yeah.

-He's here in his truck…
-Mm-hmm.

…and he's here to apologize to you,

because he was not
a supportive dad for you.

When my dad found out I was gay,
I don't think he accepted it.

We had unfinished business,
and then he died.

And so it's emotional.

[Char] Is there a farm?

-I grew up on a farm, yes.
-Was there a cow?

Yes.

-Did you used to feed it?
-Bottle feed.

-Oh, you had a calf.
-Yeah.

Is there a "C" or "S" with the cow?

There's a C.

-C-L-A?
-Yeah.

-Like Clara?
-It's Clara! Ha!

Clara the cow is here!

[all laugh]

She wants you to know… moo!

[all laugh]

This cow

is speaking through Char
right now to Miss Utica?

You know what?
Actually, that checks out. [laughs]

[moo]

And were you connected to him?

Are you guys friends?
Do you like each other?

-Yeah.
-[Char] OK.

Do you have a crush on each other or…

Maybe.

Maybe a little one.

She's amazing.

Denali and Rosé! [laughs]

Oh, my God.

I'm not saying you're having an affair.

Good, because my boyfriend will k*ll me.
[laughs]

Do you guys have any questions for me?
Don't ask me how old I am.

Do you know how old Tina is?

[all laugh]

-I have one.
-OK.

Do you see possibly who might be

in the top four of Drag Race[/i]

and who might actually win the crown?

Oh, I hear RuPaul calling you.

[laughs]

[Tina] What?

Spirits far, spirits near,

make my drag queens reappear.

-Whoa!
-Oh!

[Denali] Werk!

My queens, isn't Char amazing?

Uh-huh.

Inspiration.

Based on your readings, Char has suggested

that I pair each of you

with a queen you can learn the most from.

Our psychic pairings are…

Tina Burner…

and Rosé.

-Werk.
-Whoo!

Denali… and Olivia Lux.

-[laughs]
-Werk!

Utica…

and Symone.

-Oh!
-Oh!

We're gonna have fun.

Listen, I'm not psychic,

but I think our last pair

is Kandy Muse

and Gottmik.

-Hey!
-[applause]

OK, my soul sisters,

this week it's my favorite maxi-challenge,

the one where you make over strangers

and transform them into members
of your own drag family.

[all laugh]

I'm so confident to make someone over.

Girl, makeup is what I do.

But this season…

[laughs]

We're keeping it all in the family.

And best of all,
in your assigned psychic pairings,

you need to make over

each other.

This is a makeover challenge,

and I have been paired
with a Scottish caveman.

That's right. Each of you
needs to turn your partner

into your drag doppelganger.

Now, to create your lookalike looks,

feel free to use materials
provided by fabric.com,

hair by RockStar Wigs,

and shoes by FierceQueen.com.

Queens, this makeover

is all about embodying your sister queen

and seeing the world
from her point of view.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen…

do what?

Win!

This is gonna be interesting.

This is… [laughs]

a shocking pair.

Our drag styles are, like,
two different galaxies, so, um…

let's see how this one turns out, America.

Do you think, like, by the end of this
we're gonna finish each other's, like--

Sentences and stuff?

-Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God!

This week's maxi-challenge

is-- brrrrrr-- the makeover challenge,

the COVID edition.

We are going to be making over each other.

-It's gonna be so much fun.
-[/i]I can't wait to be you.

I get to be the Olivia diva.

You get to be the divalicious diva!

I get to be the divalicious diva.

I have no problem
with being called a diva.

I think I've coined
the phrase "polite diva,"

because I'm still polite.

I could still be a diva, though.

[laughs]

I really do think I wanna make you
into, like, an ice queen.

Is that something
you think that you could do?

Do I get to wear, like--

A little icy princess dress?

-Yes!
-That's what I'm thinking.

When you think of my signature drag,

you go to Alaskan, you know, icy girl.

Oh, my God, you look so cute!

Not JVN all of a sudden.

Oh, my God, henny, you look so cute!

Oh, my God, it fits perfectly!

She is stun-osha in this dress-iana.

It smells good.

What, you wash this before you came?

Denali's costume she's putting on me,

it's not, like, va-va-voom.

It's, like, va-vah.

But I feel like the voom
comes from the delivery,

so I'm gonna give it a yanna, honey.
I'm gonna give it to you.

[Tina] You get to be me, and I get--

-Your worst nightmare, you get to be me.
-I get to get in your head.

[Rosé laughs]

Based on the limited interactions
I had with Rosé in New York,

all I knew is some, like,
shady comments we say in passing.

I saw Rosé as very, like, uptight.

But now both of our asses are on the line.

Now we gonna start
building up trust, honey.

You know I love drama.

And, like, there is this, like, gown.

It doesn't have the train in, but, like--

[Rosé] You know, Tina's drag[/i]
is really fun and expressive,[/i]

and I don't like a lot of it.

It's just not what I would wear.

-[Tina] Fully stoned, right?
-[Rosé] Make you feel like you down.

[Tina] I know, right?

Ha!

-♪ Twins ♪
-[Tina] Twins.[/i]

[Rosé] Your legs are definitely
longer than mine.

I think that this one
will de-he-finitely fit.

And then this one
we gotta check height-wise.

[Tina] Right.

If I land in the bottom for some reason,
I'm gonna have to lip sync in this.

Mama, I'm not tryna lip sync in this
f*cking like, oversized mermaid gown,

you know, in Tina's makeup.
That's not how I'm leaving Drag Race.[/i]

Turn it and burn it!

[all laugh]

[Rosé] Is this a little long, Tina?

Swapping styles with Tina
is going to be very fun, um…

for her. [laughs]

You know, if you would have
asked me before I got here,

would I ever be in Rosé's clothing,

I would have said,
"There's not a chance in hell."

This swallows me just a little bit.

Oh, what you're saying is, thank God--

So you've got a great shot, my love.

Got it, got it.

You shady bitch. [laughs]

First, let's have you slink into this.

My main focus in this

is to make Symone feel
quintessentially Utica,

which is a walking piece of art.

I want Symone to feel beautiful
in my work.

[Symone] What is that?

[gasps] Oh, on my mouth. Oh.

Huh. What do you want me to do with this?

What-- is it just, like--

Yeah, it spreads it open,
your full teeth happen,

-and it is a full décolletage right here.
-Werk.

So as Utica is showing me the looks, um…

I am-- I get very--

I'm getting very anxious
and my head is spiraling.

[Utica] So the message of this piece [/i]is
that there's a lot of things in your life

that can restrain you,

and I feel like your skin is something
that can restrain you.

And so, yes, as a garment,
it's difficult to move in--

-[Symone] But that was the point.
-But that's the point.

I'm excited to step outside the box.

This is what this challenge is,
so let's do it.

I'm getting less nervous the more she's--

I'm getting--
not less nervous, that's a lie.

I'm getting, um--

I'm understanding the concept more

of what she wants
for this particular runway.

It's not making me less nervous,
but it makes me understand more.

[laughs]

Well, my look is a B.A.P.S. [/i]inspired look.

A what?

[Symone] B.A.P.S.[/i]
You've never seen the movie?

B.A.P.S.
stands for Black American Princess.[/i]

So is this, like, an iconic movie
that, like, lots of people know, and--

-Mm-hmm. Yeah.
-OK.

I chose this look
because it is a very fun look,

but it also is rooted in what I love,
and that is being Black in Black culture.

You know, and I have the hair,
and I have a gold tooth.

I'm just gonna try to make you

as Black American Princess
as possible, my dear.

[Utica]
I think that might be inappropriate.

I love the concept, but my first concern
is I don't want to be appropriative.

I don't wanna step on any toes
and break any boundaries.

I'm gonna twist and turn it for you

so that we can sort of still,
you know, treading the line,

but we're still giving you Symone.
This is my drag. This is what I do.

Gonna take a big old-ass leap,
and hoping we're gonna land somewhere.

[laughs]

If Utica can just focus on
just worrying about embodying me,

the essence that is Symone,
not necessarily my skin color,

I feel like we could have
a really great chance of being in the top.

But taking on this B.A.P.S.[/i] look
is a risk, because at the end of the day,

if she doesn't feel comfortable,
it's going to read.

Blblblblbl.

[Kandy] In what world is this…

…fitting you? [laughs]

[both laugh]

But maybe?

-But maybe what?
-It would fit.

Mik and I are two completely
different body types.

[Gottmik] Oh, werk, bitch!

-Oh, the glove fits, diva.
-[laughing]

It's definitely gonna be a challenge

trying to figure out what
I can wear from her closet

and what she can wear from my closet.

[sighs] This is so stressful.

It is. We have, like,
literally to create new outfits.

The amount of work difference that we have

because of our body types

compared to everyone else is shocking.

Or maybe, yeah, that's what we just do.
We just have it like this, and we just--

I don't-- I think--

I'll just cut it in half now.

We can't just shop
each other's racks like everyone else.

We have to reconstruct
and sew full new garments.

[scoffs] And I am scared.

[Kandy] We're gonna take it all in.
Gonna have to.

At this point, I do not know
what is gonna happen with Kandy and Mik.

This is--

[Kandy]
I hate this, OK? I f*cking hate this.

b*tches, you in trouble.

Ow!

f*ck.

Hello, Rosé? It's me, Tina.

Can I come over and try on your clothes?

This week's maxi-challenge
is a makeover challenge.

And it's not only a makeover challenge,

it is make over each other.

Come to my house,
I'm gonna paint you like me.

I'll go to your house,
we're gonna paint like you.

I mean, who wouldn't wanna
be Tina f*cking Burner?

OK, cool. So I'll see you soon.

-I'll see you soon. Talk soon.
-[laughter]

Hi-ee!

-Hi-ee!
-Hi-ee!

Word up, doppelgang-bangers!

[all laugh]

All right, Gottmik and Kandy Muse,

why do you think Char
put you two together?

Um, I don't--I don't--

She wanted us to sweat a little.

-[all laugh]
-Are you psychic?

Um, I think I can kinda tell
when I'm gonna get some trade.

That's a great psychic ability to have.

And then my mother says
I have goat's mouth.

Goat's mouth?

Any time I say something,
usually most of the time it happens.

Girl, I don't f*cking know.

My mother made it up, and truly,
if my mother said it, it's real.

-Does the trade say you have goat's mouth?
-[laughs] Well, they say I got good mouth.

[all laugh]

How many kids in your family?

Um, just me and my sister, so two.

-And are you the older?
-Yeah, and I'm adopted, too--

-Oh, you are?
-Yeah.

And then my sister's not,
and she's kind of this, like,

more perfect little country singer girl.

So it's definitely
an interesting household we got going.

Right, right,
because you look Black Irish.

I don't know about my background, so…

Have you been curious about it?

To a degree, but I think being gay

and learning that--
the importance of chosen family,

I just don't really
see the need, you know?

Yeah. Now, I know you are a makeup artist,

so you can beat a face or two.

Oh, I'm excited to beat this face.

Now, Kandy, have you ever
beat someone's face?

I was actually a makeup artist
for a few years.

-Really?
-Yeah.

She's more certified than I am.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-My goodness. So this is quite a pairing.
-[both] Yeah.

It's interesting, though, because we're
obviously to the eye not the same size.

Uh-huh.

So there's gonna be
some sewing going down.

All right, that's good.

This bitch is gonna be a clown
next time you see her.

Oh, I love it. All right, you kids,
I can't wait to see your doppelgangers.

Thank you. Bye.

[RuPaul laughs]

All right, Olivia and Denali,
come on over.

Now, you guys are doppelgangers.

We is.

When it comes down to these challenges

where you put someone in a family way,
we're looking for similarities,

we're looking for signature-isms
that both of you display.

I love impersonating. Olivia's my fave.

Can I see a little bit of it?

[imitating Olivia]
Ru, may I ask you a question?

May I ask--

May I ask--

May I ask a question?

Aah, ooh! [laughs]

Now, Olivia, those polite manners didn't
keep you out of the bottom last week.

They sure didn't,
but that was a visit to the bottom

rather than a stay.

And of course you did very well last week.

You won early on in this competition,

-but you haven't won since.
-I know!

When we all grouped together,
I was in the bottom,

won that lip-sync,
and it's been safe, safe, safe, top, top.

So I feel like I'm climbing,

and I feel like I can taste
a win coming really soon.

What's it taste like?

Mm, it tastes like pork chop.

[laughs]

It definitely tastes delicious,
and I really, really want it.

-[RuPaul] All right, see you out there.
-[Denali] Thanks. Will do.

[RuPaul]
All right, Tina Burner and Rosé. Hi.

Oh, you brought lots of stuff.

Why do you think Char
put you two together?

We work together in New York,
but we don't actually know each other.

And that's what's so funny, is, like,
if you told people in New York

this was gonna happen,
they'd be like, "What?"

So now I get to feel the Rosé wine.

[Rosé] The Rosé fantasy, baby.

So we're gonna have
some giant pink hair on Tina.

-Oh, my goodness.
-She's excited about it.

You know, I hate the color pink, so--

-[laughs]
-You hate the color pink?

I do not like the color pink.

I f*cking hate pink, and I'm gonna
be wearing pink because it's Rosé.

At least with Tina Burner,
you get three color options:

red, orange, yellow, even a gold.

Even a gold. Pink.

[RuPaul] What about your signature walk?

You do this flourish
that is very signature Rosé.

A flourish?

If the move is to do this,
you go, uh, uh, uh, uh.

-[laughs]
-[RuPaul] You know what I mean?

[Rosé] Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's definitely some--
an element of dance in there.

-Yes.
-I love a turn, a spin here and there.

Yes, you do.

And now, you haven't won
any challenges yet.

I have not.

Been in the top, haven't, uh,
yeah, I have not won it yet.

-How are you gonna ace it this time?
-I'm just gonna embody Rosé.

And, I mean, I'm hungry.

Would you say you're insatiable?

Insatiable.

-Are you ravenous?
-Ravenous.

You want Rosé, I'll give you Rosé.

I mean, the bitch won a challenge.
I'll step into her shoes.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

But then I'll keep it for myself.

All right, Symone and Utica,
come on over. Good morn-ting.

-Good morn-ting.
-You're a motley crew.

Now, have you put people in drag before?

I did two faces before I came.

-Two faces. OK.
-Two faces.

I put them in the makeups,

but I've never put anyone
in my personal drag.

And how did you do with those two faces?

Um, the first face was

-not as good…
-A failure, yeah, uh-huh.

But the second face was better.

What about you?
Have you put people in drag before?

I mostly make people into, like, art.

So it's, like,
not a lot of rule-following.

-[buzzes] Spray-paint.
-[RuPaul] Uh-huh.

But, uh--

-Green paint in the mouth.
-Bleah!

Uh-huh. Now, you were
in the bottom last week.

-I was, yeah.
-You lip synced last week.

What'd you think?

Well, yo ass is still here, ain't it?

[all laugh]

-I do have a question.
-What's your question?

-So mine is B.A.P.S. [/i]inspired.
-Yeah, clearly.

Yes, and, like, this is
what I would have worn.

You know, this is my drag,
and that's the goal.

-Yeah. OK.
-So what are your thoughts?

Well, I know you wanna be respectful.
Here's the thing.

If you're coming from a place of love,

you ain't gotta worry about
what other people got to say.

You know what I'm saying? It ends there.

Well, I'm very excited to see you

do that stomp down the runway
the way Symone does it.

-[laughing]
-You know what I'm saying?

I'll see you out there.

After the walkthrough,
I'm still a little concerned.

At this point, I'm still torn,

and I really need to figure out
how to find the comfort in it

so I can represent Symone
at the best of my ability.

-Let's do this!
-It's time to be Olivia Lux.

And I am Denali.

Oh, I can't wait!

It's the main stage-iana.

-It sure is.
-[laughs]

It's time for Team Denalivia
to practice our walks as each other.

-It's gonna be a gown.
-Yeah.

It's very pageant.

Do the ballet walk

-and kick that dress, henny.
-Kick that dress.

It's chameleon time,
and I'm so excited to embody the diva,

the glamour that is Olivia Lux.

All right, here I go.

Yes, slow, sultry, classic, timeless.

Yes, showgirl arms, yes.

At the opera, mm-hmm. Yes!

Olivia owns everything,
and she is that bitch.

So these are the Olivia Lux arms, yes?

Glamour, pageant-esque.

Denali arms, take a breath.

-Mm!
-Take a breath.

I want it to feel dancerly.

The skating thing is definitely
a huge theme for me.

When in doubt, go to skater.

I want her to physically skate on
the runway, so that doesn't scream Denali,

I don't know what does.

Skating is very into the knees and push.

-[Olivia] Into the knees.
-Right.

But we still wanna make sure
it looks pretty in heels,

because that's hard to do, right?

You don't wanna be, like… right?

Let me tell you right now,
ice skating is difficult,

and I don't even have
ice skates on my feet.

Ice skate, hey, skate.

Uh-huh. Skate-iana! [laughs]

In my mind, it, like, totally works.

-I'm gonna show you how to do me.
-So you're gonna show me.

[strained voice]
Let's turn it and burn it, b*tches!

Yes, we're feeling our fantasy,
and we're gonna stop.

-I love a point.
-OK.

So it's always, like, which way is it?
Oh, it's this way.

[Rosé] Tina and I are actors.[/i]

We need to be each other on that runway,
not just look like each other.

This is not Halloween, this is Broadway.

And then you can just turn.

You always look back, like, oh!

-Don't-- See, you just Roséd it.
-OK, so what did you do?

You just literally were, like,
yes, double, in, out, turn.

No, sis, that is not
what we're doing today.

OK. [laughs]

What do you do here again?

[both laugh]

Yeah, but see, you just did Rosé.
You went like this.

You, like, laid out and went into it.
It's just more of a cute, like, which way?

-Oh, yeah, that way.
-OK.

[strained voice] Which way?
Oh, yeah, that way.

Whoa with the voice.

Tina's runway style is always
really over-the-top camp.

[Tina] You're bouncing too much
on the top. You're Roséing the bounce.

What I'm realizing, I cannot be
graceful in any sense of the word.

Rosé's signature move is gonna be just,
like, a couple of little spins, right?

Uh-huh, and I don't wanna throw up.

I love to, like, you know, do, like,
little things with my fingertips,

like beads of wine coming down your arms,
you gotta flick it off a little bit.

You tell me there's beads of wine,
I'mma start licking my arm.

-That's not very Rosé, right?
-No, no, it is very Rosé.

It's very Rosé, because you're full
of yourself, just standing there--

I feel like I'm getting the Rosé down.

Uh! [laughs]

Yes. Look right at RuPaul and Michelle.

Yep, yep.

[laughs]

Me? Check.

Rosé? Questionable.

Yeah! [laughs]

So are you ready to become Symone?

It's like a straight face,
but it's almost, like, oh, you see me?

You see me? It's like…

-Yes, the eyes, that's where it is.
-Panther on the runway, if you will.

It's exciting to teach someone
the ways of the ebony enchantress.

Hit it! Werk, werk, pose.

Feel it, you know.

Oh!

OK, Utica!

I am surprised

at how quickly she picked up
the Symone walk.

Feel it, the hands, hands.

Ooh!

But obviously she can't be fully Symone.

[laughs]

-[Utica] Do you wanna try me now?
-Yes, I do.

I like to think of my body
as the da Vinci man.

How can you push those limits
of the full body?

You could come here. You could come here.

You could come forward.

At a first glance,
Utica looks like a wacky Looney Tune,

and I love that.

I feel like I'm back in my
modern dance improv classes.

But I'm a little nervous, because it's
completely different than what I would do.

I feel like you do awkward--
not awkward, but, like, awkward things

that are fun but not sexual.

-If that make sense.
-Absolutely.

I really wanna sell this for her.

Just be super cutesy, and it's so bitch.

Like, a mouth together kinda.

And moaning as I do it.

Yeah, just be like, mm.

Definitely, and I make all the noises.

It's so annoying.
Judges probably think I'm psycho.

I'm easy as hell to imitate.

Like, she's just gonna touch her body
and just, like, just stupid, say "gorg."

Oh!

[laughs] Yes, yes, yes.

-Oh!
-Uh-huh. [laughs]

OK. I don't even need
to go onstage anymore.

This should be interesting,
because I walk with a lot of flavor,

and I don't know how much flavor
Gottmik has in her body.

[laughs]

Can you jiggle your thigh?

Yeah.

[laughs]

Walk and be like Vanjie,
because that's what I'm just like.

[Gottmik laughs]

Oh… [laughs] Mik.

Aah!

Just be like, yeah, bitch,
I'm looking at you. And, like, you know?

Yeah. Look-- [laughs]

Yeah, bitch, I'm-- [laughs]

Whoo!

Yeah-- [laughs]

Yeah, I'm talking--

I cannot say,
"Yeah, I'm talking to you," I just can't.

Just be, like, say something,
something Vanjie that I'll say.

I'll f*ck you up!

[both laugh]

Kandy's laughing so hard,
so clearly I'm not doing it at all.

This footage is gonna haunt me forever.
I just feel it in my soul.

Peace!

-Hello!
-Brrrrr!

-[Rosé] How'd it go?
-I wanna see your Kandy walk.

-OK.
-[sighs]

-[Tina] Come on.
-[Kandy] Do it.

[Tina] We have to see it at some point.

So I'm gonna be like this.

Then I'm going down like that.

I'm gonna be like, yo.

[laughs]

Is Mik being you right now?

Yo! RuPaul!

Oh, no.

-I mean, I do exactly that on the runway.
-f*ck off. I'm gonna be good.

I'm gonna go over there
and learn the lip-sync song right now.

If she doesn't get this down,
I'm definitely gonna be in trouble.

And at this point, I can't risk
being anywhere near the bottom,

because last time I was in the bottom two,

I heard the words "sashay away,"
and RuPaul ain't gonna keep me around

for a f*cking second time. So,
I'mma need this bitch to get it together.

Peace! [laughs]

-Whoo!
-Ready to get painted!

It's a special day!

I can't wait to see
everybody as everybody!

It's freaky Friday,
it's time to paint each other,

and I'm about to become Jamie Lee Curtis,

and I hope Tina is ready
to be Lindsay Lohan, baby.

Listen, your bone structure
and your eyebrows

have now put the fear in me.

My brow bone is Neanderthal as f*ck.

I'm just gonna cover 'em with a lot,
and then we're gonna really…

[chuckles] …smoke the monster out.

It's time to turn that caterpillar
into a butterfly.

[laughs]

I think since Char's,
like, a psychic medium,

like, paired us up, psychics
are really good on feeling energies,

and maybe we just have had
that block up with each other, you know?

I also feel like Char said
that she was gonna put people together

based on who could learn
the most from each other.

Yeah.

Something I have already learned from you
is that it pays to be a bit brassier.

There are times I might think something,
and it's a good idea to just say it.

-Yeah.
-[Rosé] Say what you feel.

And I also think
that I approach everything

with a bit more sensitivity than you do.

-One hundred percent.
-And that's not a bad thing, so--

And that's something
I really need to learn,

there's certain people who can handle
brass and certain people that don't.

I like when Rosé chills out.

When she lets that wall down,
it's nice, it's welcoming.

Now I'm getting to know you, and, like,

I honestly think Rosé is a fierce
competitor and a great drag queen.

I think she's trying
to tell us that maybe,

-maybe, you know…
-[laughs]

Maybe we just didn't spend
enough time with each other.

-[both laugh]
-You better watch out, Denali.

I'm coming for your man.

Where do you feel like
the pure essence of Denali comes from?

Obviously, it comes from, like, a lot of
really confident, strong, athletic women

that I grew up around,
like, in my ice rink.

I'm also really influenced
by, like, my mother and my grandmother.

My mother is somebody
that has this sense of duality

of, like, fierce, beautiful,
glamorous, Mexican woman

that is, like, a sixth degree
black belt in martial arts.

-[Olivia] Love that.
-I always try and bring that to my drag.

What about Olivia Lux?

Olivia is definitely a combination

of my grandma, my mom,
and my two aunts. Um…

They must be just the most elegante.[/i]

They really are.

They raised me on, like, music and movies.

Growing up, I always felt like
I knew stuff of, like, years past.

You have this really cool duality

between being, like, youthful
and then also, like,

have this old soul classic feel to you.

So I love that kind of balance.

Thank you.
I definitely attribute it to my fam.

It's something that
I feel like we can connect on

and that we can both
kind of bring out the essence in.

I really wanna be able to bring
that family legacy from Olivia Lux

into this runway
and into this presentation.

I live.

[Symone] Going into this challenge, how
are you feeling today with these looks?

[Utica] I was feeling
a little uncomfortable,

but the challenge is to be
as authentically you as I can,

and I think with the outfit,
the hair, everything, um,

that we're gonna come
from a place of love.

[Symone] Absolutely.

And I really wanna do it justice.

I think it is a risk, but, you know,
that's what we're here to do.

It kind of feels good to be, like,
we don't know how this is gonna land,

but we're gonna have fun doing it,
and hopefully it'll pay off for us.

I am excited to see the ivory enchantress.

-Oh, my God.
-[laughs]

[Kandy] The one thing people know me for
in New York is my eyebrows.

Everyone knows the Kandy Muse eyebrow.

My drag face, when I started doing drag,
I was just, like, too womanly.

So I just needed something
that, like, was so not human.

So I was, like, I need to have
this white mask clown thing going on.

When I started doing drag,

it was pretty much a mask for me.
I would not go out unless I was in drag,

because people just thought I was
a normal, cisgender gay man wearing a wig.

It's just such an emotional rollercoaster

trying to figure all that shit out.

For, like, a long time,
I didn't transition

because I was, like, so feminine still.

People were always just, like, putting me
in a weird category, like a secondary,

like, oh, you're just a bio queen if
you do it, you're just this if you do it.

My femininity held me back
from transitioning for so long.

I'm not, like,
every trans guy I've ever seen,

so strong and masculine.

And I just was not that.

One day, I was just at brunch,
all of my guy friends around me.

I realized they're so feminine,

so just because I have a feminine side

does not mean I'm not a guy, too.

If these b*tches are guys, I'm a guy.
Like, get into it.

The level of depressed
I was before my transition

was so crazy, it was so awful.

Like, the second I pinpointed
what it was and fixed it,

it just showed me, like,
how much power I had.

I just stopped caring.

I was, like, I literally pulled myself out
of the darkest shit you could ever do,

and now I can look in the mirror
and be happy for once.

Yes, baby.

I admire anyone
that could be 100% in their skin

and can own who they are

and not give a shit about
what anyone has to say about it.

Finishing your eyebrows.

Where does yours come from?
You have the most confidence ever in life.

It comes from, like, a lot of years
of, like, self-hate, self-hatred.

Like, the confidence I have now,
where it came from,

I definitely did not
have that for a very long time.

And it's not until one day,
you look in the mirror

and your deepest, darkest day, where
you're like, I need to find self-love,

I need to, like, find something here
that, like, gets me together.

Yeah.

Being bigger than everyone
and just not loving myself,

it took me a very long time to,
like, really love the way I look

and love my body and love everything
about me and my mannerisms, my lisp.

And I'm still growing every single day.

Please welcome to the stage Tuna Burger!

Oh, my God!

Aah, yes!

[Olivia] Oh, my God!

-Little mini Tina!
-[laughs]

Rosé? [laughs]

I'm proud. Look, that's not bad.

Rosé's already a hard canvas to work on,

and Tina just managed
to make it harder. [laughs]

Welcome to the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race.[/i]

Michelle Visage, now,
do you have a doppelganger?

Well, I've been told
that I look like a drag queen.

[all laugh]

Style superstar Carson Kressley,
have you ever been doppelganged?

Oh, gosh, how many are in a doppelgang?

Is it 13? Then, yes.

[all laugh]

Everybody say Loni Love!
Do you have a doppelganger?

I've been told, Ru,
that I'm 100% that bitch Lizzo.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Absolutely.

This week, we challenged our queens

to turn their partners
into their drag doppelgangers.

And now they are ready

to pummel the runway as each other.

Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win.

♪ Bring back my girls ♪

[RuPaul] First up, Rosé as Tina Burner.

[Carson] Reminds me of that song,
"She's Got Tina Burner Eyes."

[Rosé] Well, here I am, b*tches,[/i]
Tina f*cking Burner, the mini edition.[/i]

I look just like Tina.

The hair is right, the mug is--

well, it's Tina.

I am stomping and clonking
down this runway,

a camp housewife from the '50s,

and boom, bitch, a reveal.

-Ooh!
-[/i][Rosé] I look f*cking great.[/i]

-[Michelle] You betta butta my biscuit!
-[/i][Loni laughs]

[RuPaul] Tina Burner as Rosé.

[Carson] She really should
have shaved her arms for this.

[Tina Burner] I feel like we're giving[/i]
Rosé. A little slutty, there's the boot,[/i]

there's big, pink hair.
We're gonna do a Rosé spin.

There's a lot of flicking, she goes bam!

I do feel like a fourth member
of Stephanie's Child.

I am available for parties.

[Michelle] She's not a porcupine,
she's a porcu-fine.

[all chuckle]

[RuPaul] Olivia Lux as Denali.

[Michelle] Olivia Lux
as Denali as Rita Ora.

-[Carson] As Elsa.
-[all laugh]

[Olivia] I'm giving you[/i]
Denali the house down boots,[/i]

or should I say Denali
the house down skates.

The only woman on ice,

I'm this floating snowflake

that's skating across the runway.

-[Michelle] She's just skating by.
-[/i][all laugh]

[RuPaul] Denali as Olivia Lux.

[Michelle] It appears that
she gets a lot of tail.

-[Carson] Yes, 12 of them.
-[laughter]

[Denali] I really feel[/i] my absolute[/i]
luxurious, divalicious diva moment.[/i]

I'm feeling elegant.
I'm feeling opulent. I am eating it up.

I give them that little piano moment,

and the gown itself
and the drag that I'm in

makes me feel really gorgeous.

[Loni] Werk it!

[RuPaul] Symone as Utica.

-[Michele] She is very thin-skinned.
-[/i][chuckling]

[Symone] This garment[/i]
is very Utica Queen, darling.[/i]

I am feeling the Utica energy.
I am using my legs and my arms

to really move in this garment,

and I am letting go and being free.

It's quirky, and you gotta think about it.

I feel great on the runway.
I feel powerful, but in a different way.

[RuPaul] Martha Graham,
eat your heart out.

[Michelle laughs]

[RuPaul] Utica as Symone-yay.

[Loni] It look like my cousin Shanaynay.

[laughs]

[Utica] I am just living in this garment.[/i]

Strutting down the runway with a purpose,
not letting anybody tell me what's what.

I feel like I made
a really crazy transformation

from being this goofball.

I feel completely different,

and I feel like I can take on the world.

[RuPaul] She got her degree
from the University of Symone-yay.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Gottmik as Kandy Muse.

Da Bra-zonx in da house!

[Loni laughs]

[RuPaul] Yeah, she will kick your ass.

[Loni] Come on!

[Gottmik] The look turned out really good.[/i]
It fits me perfectly.[/i]

I feel really gorgeous in it.
I feel like I'm giving them Kandy.

I'm, like, smacking my ass. I'm just
trying to push myself as hard as I can

and go over the top with these Kandy-isms,
because it's so fun to be Kandy Muse.

[Loni] And she's the leader of the pack.

-[RuPaul] Uh-huh.
-Bye!

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Now Kandy Muse as Gottmik.

[Carson] They always say the nipples
are the windows to the soul.

-[RuPaul] They certainly are.
-[/i]Hi, gorg.

[laughter]

[Kandy] I am feeling[/i]
my Gottmik fantasy.[/i]

I am feeling all of my own gorg,

making all the faces. Mm, word!

This neon green hair and a Gottmik face,
and I look m*therf*cking good.

I look like a clown
straight out of the circus.

[RuPaul] She's black and white
and got Mik all over.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Welcome, queens.

This week, you'll be judged as pairs.

Now it's time for the judges' critiques.

Up first, Rosé and Tina Burner.

-Hey, Rosé!
-Hey, Michelle.

This is something that I see Rosé in.

It's a fun dress, it's on the slutty side,
which I think Rosé likes to be,

so I think you did a good job

-at turning her into Rosé.
-Thank you.

[Michelle] Tina sold it.[/i]
It was fun to watch.[/i]

Yeah, the essence of this
is to kind of, you know,

give your partner the look of your brand.

Tina, you have a very strong brand.

You give us kind of camp classic,
old-school drag.

It's that overly smoky eye,

which is the Tina Burner trademark.

Tina mugs a little bit

and does some, you know, lip stuff,

and you gave us all of that,
which was excellent.

Thanks.

Rosé, what did you learn from Tina Burner?

Something I've been learning from Tina
is if I feel strongly about something,

let it out. And I learned this week

that Tina is a lot more sensitive
than she comes off.

Tina!

[all laugh]

What did you learn from Rosé?

I learned that even after
you take a dress in,

you still have to add shoulder pads

so she can get these beautiful
linebacker shoulders.

[all laugh]

Tell me about it.

[laughing]

Up next, Olivia Lux and Denali.

When I think of Olivia Lux,
I think of you as vivacious, bubbly,

bouncy hair, big smile. I don't
necessarily equate this look with you.

It's stunning, but I think
I would have gotten more Olivia Lux

if you'd come around the corner in that
curly hair. I feel that's your trademark.

-OK.
-That woulda brought me into Olivia land.

-Denali.
-Yes.

I know you from the tulle,

and I knew you were gonna use some
type of tulle. That is your trademark.

We know you as this queen
that came from the figure skating world…

Right.

…I think you portrayed that really well.

And of course we know the long braid,

and what I loved is that you put on your
trademark little nails that do something.

-What are those doing?
-Those are ice skates.

They're fun. I don't know if I could tell

if the face is exactly
how you paint your face.

OK.

But it gave me you. I got you from it.

OK, good.

Olivia and Denali, what did you learn?

We have very different styles of drag,

but there's these places that intersect

that are really beautiful.

One of them actually
is the stories of our families,

our connections
to our mothers and grandmothers,

and how we bring that out
and portray it in our drag.

-[RuPaul] Thank you.
-[kisses]

Up next, Symone and Utica.

Symone, when you walked out on
this runway, I knew that you were Utica.

You have the kookiness of Utica,
but it's still fashion.

It's just so interesting,
and then I love the bodysuit.

It looks so dynamic, and again,

you're a genius with color
and pattern and textures.

Then we have Utica here.

This outfit is very much Symone.

I love the gold tooth.

I love that you took her to the hair show.

I appreciate that hair.
I really, really do.

And I always see you,
and you're like ay, ay, ay, ay, ooh.

But you embodied Symone.

You're both so different,

but you're showing
how you don't have to be a caricature.

People always think,

when they're dealing
with a person of a different race

or a different culture that,
oh, I gotta worry about the skin.

Don't worry about the skin.
Worry about what's within.

And that's what you two did,
and that's why it worked well.

So Char paired you together.
Have you figured out why, Symone?

Our drags, um,
aesthetically is very different,

but I think I've learned from Utica
to let go and have a little bit more fun.

Symone is so powerful,

and I feel like I do hide
behind that goofiness.

But I really learned that I can be just
as powerful as I can be on the stage,

and this was truly magical.

Thank you so much.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Up next, Gottmik and Kandy Muse.

-Hi, gorg.
-What up, bitch?

[all laugh]

Kandy, every time I see you on the stage,

there's one big note that I write,
which is, "personality."

And I think you conveyed that
on your canvas of Gottmik.

And then Gottmik, you really sold it.

You gave us a lot of Kandy.

I can't really see your makeup, Gottmik,
under there, so I don't know if she--

-[Kandy] Take the glasses off.
-I'll give you a…

It's so crazy,
to see you kind of in a different face.

Oh, yes, I'm a woman today.

[all laugh]

What was really Kandy
that sold it was the attitude,

giving us the Bronx,
and saying she'd fight us.

-I was scared for a minute.
-[RuPaul laughs]

Gottmik, when Kandy came
around the corner, I was like, bitch, yes.

You turnt her out.

You showed the nipples.
You don't like shirts.

-Hate 'em.
-That's you!

[Michelle] Kandy was able[/i]
to embody you, too.[/i]

The artistry in this duo is high content.

[Loni] You know, you got people
with different body sizes.

It ain't no problem,
because you see it, worked it out.

Both of you should be
very, very proud of yourselves.

Gottmik, what did you learn about Kandy?

Even though we have such
different upbringings and pasts,

we kind of solved our trauma

through the art of not giving a f*ck.

And that's how we became who we are,

is just saying, girl,
we've been through it,

we don't give a f*ck about anything else,

and that's where
our personalities now come from.

I'm really happy,
'cause we were close before,

but now this is my bitch,
this is my sister, so…

Here's the thing, though.

I thought my ass was gonna be out,
so I shaved my ass last night.

And then my ass isn't out,
and my nipples are, so…

But it's fine.
They a little cold, but we there.

If I had a nickel.

[laughs]

Gorg.

All right, queens,
I wanna hear from each of you.

Now, based on your own opinions…

Who should go home tonight and why?

Starting with Rosé.

I don't see Olivia on Denali tonight.

I'm gonna say Olivia.

Tinta Burner.

Just, like, based on tonight's work,
have to say Olivia.

All right, Olivia.

I want to base my opinion tonight

on the entire competition.

I will have to vote Utica.

-Denali.
-Gottmik looks a little more

like a Tina Burner style brand.

I'd have to say Kandy.

[RuPaul] Symone.

I'm sorry, my love, but I would
have to say Olivia as well.

Don't be sorry.

Utica.

Based on the challenge tonight,

Olivia's look did not translate.

[RuPaul] Gottmik.

Just this challenge,
I would have to say Olivia as well.

Kandy.

Um, first and foremost, I wanna say

that I didn't know
Tina Burner owned flames

and the color orange, red, and yellow.

You would never see Tina walk down
the runway looking like a ho like this,

looking flawless, number one.

-Ooh.
-And number two, me and Gottmik

had the hardest challenge
in this entire group,

'cause I'm big, she's little,
and yet we still made it work.

All these b*tches have the same size.

So there's no excuse
why they should look as weak,

and Olivia and Denali's team look
the weakest out of everyone on the stage.

Just my opinion.

Thank you.

I think we've heard enough.

This is not going to be
an easy decision tonight.

Now, while you untuck in the werkroom,

the judges and I will deliberate.

Now, just between us squirrel friends,

it is time to get real up in this bitch.

Up first, Rosé and Tina Burner.

If we're talking about
creating the doppelganger,

they did that, but it wasn't elevated.

It's not elevated,
but did she make her look like her? Yes.

Did she make her look like her? Yes.

Tina's aesthetic is questionable.

But it did look a lot like Tina Burner.

[Michelle] Tina Burner looked prettier

'cause I could see her face tonight
in Rosé's makeup.

I never knew she had eyes.

-Me neither! They're usually blacked out.
-Yeah, very raccoon-like.

What did Carson just call me?

Oh, a raccoon.

-Oh, OK.
-Raccoon.

-[laughs]
-Yes, yes, yes.

[RuPaul] Olivia Lux and Denali.[/i]

When I saw Olivia come out,
I could see that it was Denali.

Was it elevated and gorgeous?
No, not really.

The painting wasn't amazing.

Where was the blending?

There wasn't any.

But when Denali came out as Olivia,

she could have been anybody.

I just didn't see that signature
Olivia Lux energy or look.

If she was in a lineup
at a police precinct

in the Rampart area of Los Angeles,

I would not say, "Oh, that's Olivia Lux."

But that's literally the challenge.

[laughs]

Correct.

Compared to some of the other groups,

I don't think that they infused,

and so as a pair,
they did not work together for me.

[RuPaul] Symone and Utica.[/i]

They really worked together as a team,
and they looked iconically like the other,

and then they also did it
in a glamorous, high drag way.

They were just in sync and amazing.

That ish was elevated.

Lovely being able to see Utica not mug.

But it also had the humor.
It seemed like she stood up straighter.

Yeah, that look actually
changed her entire demeanor.

You know I am a Halle Berry fan,
and that was B.A.P.S. [/i]all the way.

And then Symone taking on
the quirkiness of Utica,

but doing it in a very elegant,
Martha Graham type of way.

Fabulous. It was a beautiful
editorial version of each other.

Gottmik and Kandy Muse.

You couldn't get more different
body types or even styles,

and I just loved how they pulled this off.

And it was fun.

I really liked Gottmik.

She definitely came out on the stage.

-And she commanded it.
-Bye![/i]

Are those g*ng signs? I don't really--

No, no!

I've only ever been to the Bronx twice,
and it was wonderful.

-[laughing]
-Let me tell you.

What she did to Kandy was unbelievable.

Here's where branding comes in.
You look at that, you know that's Gottmik.

-That's right.
-And Kandy shaved her ass.

Most important.

What I like about Kandy, I wanna say,
is she's fearless and she's unapologetic.

And I was just happy to see that
she stood up for herself tonight.

The Bra-zonx was coming out.

Ooh, chile.

She was not having this little game

of, well, what the judges said
about the challenge tonight.

She was like, girl, no,
look on this stage. The end.

No, I think she said… [deep voice]
"Girl, look over there. The end."

[all laugh]

And the winner of this week's challenge
is Carson Kressley.

Yay!

Wait, I shaved my ass for this.

[laughs]

Same, Carson.

Silence! I've made my decision.

Ring-bay ack-bay I-may irls-gay.

He is?

Uh-huh. Haven't you heard?

Bring back my Merles.

Careful, Santino.

-[laughs]
-[Carson] I know. I know.

[RuPaul] Welcome back, queens.

I've made some decisions.

Gottmik, Kandy Muse,

this week you popped and popped off.

You're safe.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.

Symone, Utica.

You made this the freakiest Friday ever.

Con-drag-ulations.

You're the winners
of this week's challenge.

-Yes!
-[applause]

And you've each won a cash tip of $5,000.

All right!

This is my first win,
and it really means a lot.

I feel like it's well deserved,

and we really put our hearts out
on that stage.

-Thank you guys so much.
-Thank you.

[Symone] I'm just so happy,
and it's lovely

to be heading for the back
of the stage with a win.

Olivia Lux, Denali.

Your fashion game was on,
but your branding was off.

Tina Burner, Rosé.

You had the branding thing down,

but your looks were not elevated.

Olivia Lux, Denali,

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

Tina Burner, Rosé, you are safe.

I'm in the bottom for errors
that my partner has made.

That kind of sucks.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me

and save yourself from elimination.

-The time has come…
-[thunder]

…for you to lip sync…

[echoing] …for your life!

The majority of the girls
think I should go home tonight,

so I have to show them
and the judges why I need to stay.

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

[music plays]

It sure is hot out here.

[all laugh]

I did want this so badly.

I cannot help but think
that I went home too early.

But I'm beyond proud of everything
that I've done here.

I made it to the Olympics.

So watch out,
'cause I'm ready to slice and dice

and win gold medals.

[laughs]

Later, skaters.

how the hell you gonna love somebody else?
Can I get an "amen" up in here?
