on RuPaul's drag race...

Escandalo!

- Oh!

- Kristin, what's next?

- Manila Luzon,

you've perpetuated stereotypes.

Condragulations, you're the

winner of this challenge.

- I'm ready to show you

who Stacy is.

- Well, you said that

last week.

Stacy Layne Matthews.

Shantay, you stay.

And tonight...

Oh, my goodness!

The competition heats up.

- Word.

- And the dolls get shady.

- I hate her!

I hate her!

- With extra special

guest judges

Aisha Tyler and Amber Rose.

The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race

of Kryolan professional makeup;

- "Never give up.

You're all stars."

- I am so glad I am not the one

that went home.

Bye, girl.

- Stacy, put your back into it.

- Girl...

- [laughing]

- When I was on stage

for the elimination,

I was so mad at myself.

Girl, I felt like I was about to

walk the plank, honey.

- Yeah.

- It does.

- You know how Shangela said

you feel like you about to die?

- Yeah.

- Girl...

I feel like I could be doing

a whole lot better

in this competition.

I just feel like stuff keeps

coming back

and just knocking me down.

- God, Manila won

the challenge.

- Yeah.

- How sad is that?

- I thought she did

really good.

- You don't think it was, like,

a little bit risky

that she was making fun of

some...

- She was making fun

of a culture

that she looks to be a part of,

but she's not.

You know, it just made me

uncomfortable,

but the judges seemed

to enjoy that.

So hallelu.

- Girls, it's just like

Margaret Cho.

That's what I was going for.

You know, she makes fun of her

Asian mom all the time.

- But she is of that culture.

That's her mom.

- It's really no different than

you doing black, Southern lady.

- Well, but I'm black,

and I'm from the South.

- She is not acting.

She is.

- I think that the whole

conversation is bullshit.

If a black girl was asked to be

funny,

the first thing they

immediately do is get ghetto,

get country, and I love it.

What's the difference, really?

- Some of us were doing it

as drag queens.

- Well, no, I think

that everybody on that set was

doing drag.

It was just a different

interpretation.

- It's your interpretation

of it.

- Yeah.

No reason to get mad.

- I just don't want to talk

about it.

- What's going on?

- They're just making it all,

like, a race thing,

and it's not.

- It's so not.

I don't mean this to be

offensive,

but do you have nail polish?

- [laughing]

- No, I'm serious.

[siren wails]

- Ooh, girl!

You've got shemail!

Hey, hey, racers.

all: Hey!

- In the cosmos, there are

billions and billions of stars.

But the brightest ones are

right here in Hollywood.

Now, when it's your turn

in the spotlight,

will you sparkle, Neely,

sparkle...

or will you fall deep into

the Valley of the Dulls?

[laughing]

- [giggles]

She's so good.

- Hello, hello, hello!

all: Hey!

- Hi, ladies. Wow.

For today's mini challenge,

we're gonna play

the new gaming sensation

that's sweeping the nation,

and it's called...

sh*t RuPaul Says.

- Okay.

- Say it with me.

all: sh*t RuPaul Says.

- [laughing]

One by one, letters will pop

onto the screen.

Now, if you think you know

the answer, hit your buzzer.

But be careful, because if

you're wrong, you're out.

The last queen standing will win

a phone call home.

- Oh!

- I almost started to tear up,

because I immediately think,

"Oh, my god, I have the

opportunity to call my grandma."

- Are you ready to play?

all: Yes!

- When I call your names,

swish on down.

Yara Sofia, swish on down!

[laughing]

- I would love to call my mom.

She's gonna be so excited.

She's gonna be like,

"Are you eating?"

- Delta Work, swish on down!

[laughing]

Carmen Carrera, swish on down!

[laughing]

All right, so let's go

to the puzzle.

This puzzle is sh*t RuPaul Eats.

[laughter]

Let's go.

[clock ticking]

[bell rings]

Delta.

- Two piece and a biscuit.

- Oh, my goodness!

[cheers and applause]

Condragulations, Delta Work!

This next puzzle

is sh*t RuPaul Says.

[clock ticking]

Buzz in when you know.

[bell rings]

Raja, what is your answer?

- Eleganza extravaganza!

- Oh!

- Raja is right!

All right, the last three queens

to play.

This round

is sh*t RuPaul Plugs.

- Oh.

- Oh, dear.

[clock ticking]

Buzz in when you think you know

the answer.

[bell rings]

All right, Shangela.

What is your answer?

- Available on...iTunes.

- That is correct!

Condragulations, Shangela.

- Word!

- All right, Delta and Raja,

whoever wins this round

will be the winner

of the mini challenge.

This puzzle is

Ghetto sh*t RuPaul Says.

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay?

[clock ticking]

Buzz in when you think you know

the answer.

No answers yet.

[bell rings]

All right.

Delta Work,

what do you have?

- She done already done had

herses.

- Yes, ma'am!

- Whoo!

- Yeah, she done already done

had herses!

Delta, you win!

[cheers and applause]

You've won yourself

a phone call home.

Ladies, I hope your charisma,

uniqueness, nerve, and talent

are all warmed up,

because for this week's

main challenge,

you're going to be guest stars

on a game show

we like to call...

Snatch Game!

[cheers and applause]

This is your chance to bring

to life

your best celebrity

impersonations.

Bottom line, you need to be

an entertainer

who really entertains.

I'll be back a little later to

check on your progress.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

And may the best Cher win,

okay?

- I remember Shangela saying,

"Oh, I would call

my grandmother,

and I would love

to just check up on her."

And I thought to myself,

"I don't need the phone call

right now."

Well, listen, the more I hear

about your grandmother

and, like, how she's kind of

on her own,

the phone call would be

better used by you, I think.

- Oh, my god!

- You want it?

- It was a really sincere gift

that was so unselfish of her.

It touched me.

- So what you doing?

- Child, miss,

I'm Joan Crawford.

- Oh, work.

Do you ever do, like,

impersonations?

- Oh, bitch, I got this nailed.

I am Joan Crawford.

Yes.

- I'm debating between

Anna Nicole and Fran Drescher.

- I don't even know.

Who is that?

- Fran Drescher.

The nanny ♪

- You are doing Tina?

- Nico-Tina Turner.

She's doing Nico-Tina.

I'm doing Alicia Keys.

- Okay, I think I've decided

on it.

- What have you decided on?

- Anna Nicole.

- Girl, you're being

a bit flip-floppy.

- I've decided

I'm gonna do Anna Nicole

because she loves pink;

I love pink myself.

Should I make

a silver and pink dress?

- W-w-a-n-d.

What would Anna Nicole do?

I love my girl Stacy.

But I don't feel that she's

completely confident

in what she's saying.

So I'm wondering, "Is she gonna

be able to pull this off?"

- Today we're doing

the Snatch Game,

celebrity impersonation.

- I'm a little concerned

about my character,

'cause I don't think

Alicia Keys is funny.

- So how are you gonna

combat that?

- I'll do my best, honey.

- So, um, what are you

gonna do?

- Um, I'm gonna do

Imelda Marcos.

- Yay!

- After all this, like, Asian

accent talk this morning,

I think that I'm gonna go out

on a limb

and do another Asian accent.

I'm going to be showing a lot of

my Filipino pride.

[door squeaking open]

- Hello, lady-kins!

- Hi!

- Hi, Ru!

- Hey, Delta.

What you have here?

- I am doing Cher.

- What?

- I know.

- I happen to know she's a fan

of this show.

- Oh, wow.

- You know

she'll be watching this.

- Oh, my gosh.

- Yeah, no pressure.

Every queen in the world is

gonna be watching this,

and everyone

who's ever done Cher

is gonna be watching this.

- Sure.

- So you have to represent.

- I can certainly try.

- Hey, Raja.

- Hi, Ru.

- Who do we have here?

- I'm doing Tyra.

- Now, didn't she win the last

RuPaul Drag Race?

- No, not the other Tyra,

the actual Tyra.

- [giggles]

- I wanted to do her

'cause this is someone

that I know firsthand,

and I've been in the same room

with all of her Tyra-isms.

Sometimes she's, like,

quite proper

and she seems really educated,

and then she'll just like,

"Hey!"

You know, "Mm-hmm!"

- Tyra-ize them, hunty.

- Honey, word!

Uh!

- [laughs]

Yara Sofia.

- Hi.

- Hola, mami.

- Hola.

- Who do we have here?

- Amy Winehouse.

- You're from Puerto Rico.

- Yes.

- She's from England.

- England.

- How are you gonna do that?

[laughs]

- Well, I've been watching

Hatty Potter, so probably...

- Harry Potter?

- Hatty Potter, yeah.

- Let me hear some of your

English accent.

[both laughing]

- [with not an English accent]

Can I have some water?

- [laughs]

- How'd it sound?

- By George,

I think you've got it!

- Really?

- Yes.

All right, darling,

I'm gonna go this way.

Carmen Carrera.

- Hi, my love.

- Look at that face.

It's b*at down.

Now, I see that you have padded

your already fat ass even more.

Stand up.

Let me take a look.

Are you doing J.Lo?

- I am.

- You are doing J.Lo?

- Yeah.

- You know that you are sitting

behind a desk?

- Well, I asked for a throne,

so I'm just hoping that

I have that when I get there,

'cause I'm gonna be

really upset,

and I'm gonna have to call

somebody.

- Yes, thank you very much,

Jennifer.

And I will see you on the set.

- Yes.

- All right, see you

in a minute.

- Thank you.

- Alexis Mateo.

- Hi, Ru.

- I know exactly who this is.

- Who is it?

- It's Alicia Keys.

- Oh, you got it right.

- How are you gonna make

Alicia Keys funny?

- I'm gonna be a pregnant, butch

Alicia Keys.

- [giggles]

Well,

Miss Stacy Layne Matthews.

I see a blonde wig.

Dolly Parton?

- Anna Nicole.

- How are you gonna convey

Anna Nicole Smith?

- The fabulous shoes

with the pink on them.

- Oh, okay.

- With my purse.

- So you're gonna rely on your

purse and your shoes?

Listen, I gotta tell you,

I'm not sold.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, because you know

you were in the bottom two

last week.

- Yes.

- What are you gonna do to

ensure

you won't be there again

this week?

- I'm gonna give everything

I have, because...

- Well, you said that last time,

giving everything.

It's got to be more than just,

"I'm gonna give

everything I have."

- I'm gonna bring

something new.

- You got to bring it, baby.

- I will.

- I'm rooting for you,

Stacy Matthews.

- Thank you, Ru.

- All right, baby.

And they call this queen Mariah.

- Howdy do?

- Oh, my go...am I feeling

a little Joan Crawford here?

- Yes.

- I love it!

- Okay, she was such a bitch,

and I love her.

- Well, it's funny you're doing

Joan Crawford,

because a lot of the criticism

you've gotten

on the main stage

are all the things

that Joan Crawford is not.

She's strong. She's powerful.

She's concise.

- I'm very much Joan Crawford.

I don't think that on the runway

I've never given anything

but confidence and strength

and poise and elegance.

- Mariah, will you walk me

to my car?

[giggles]

All right, ladies,

gather around.

Today's Snatch Game contestants

are sexy celebrities

in their own right.

Model and red carpet phenomenon

Amber Rose is here.

[applause]

- Oh, my god, what?

Amber Rose?

I love Amber Rose.

- And one of my favorites,

actress and comedienne

Aisha Tyler will be here.

- Oh, wow.

- Amber and Aisha are also

your guest judges this week.

all: Ooh.

- Yes.

Ladies, the game is on.

Good luck,

and don't f*ck it up.

All right, see you later.

- Bye, Ru.

- I just want to punch a wall.

Why am I here?

Why am I here?

I feel like this is the lowest

point in the whole competition.

Whatever.

- What are you over?

- Well, she keeps bringing

the god damn bullshit up.

I can't...

- What do you mean?

- "Well, you said that

last week."

Don't keep bringing that up.

That's not helping me.

- Stacy, maybe that is trying

to help you.

- But it's not.

- But that's what I'm saying,

is maybe she's trying

to give you a heads-up.

I know how you feel.

But if she gave you

that recommendation

of she's not feeling it,

I would come up

with something else.

Who else...who else

is pop culture right now

that you can do?

- What about Mo'nique?

- Mo'nique.

Do f*cking Mo'nique.

- [sighs]

- Don't get frustrated.

Let's do this.

- I don't want to give up,

because this is a dream for me.

I don't want to go

the f*ck home.

- Hello, and welcome

to the new Snatch Game.

I'm your host, RuPaul.

Now let's meet our first

contestant.

She's a model from South Philly.

Please welcome Amber Rose.

- Hi.

- Up next, she's a talented

actress and comedienne.

Please welcome Aisha Tyler.

Hello, Aisha.

- Hello.

- And let's give

a Hollywood hello

to our star-studded celebrity

panel.

Well, hello, Cher.

- Hi, Ru.

- So happy you're here.

- Well, you know, I don't know

what the hell I'm doing here.

I'm a f*cking Oscar winner.

- [laughing]

And next to her, we have

the former first lady

of the Philippines.

Imelda Marcos is with us.

- Mabuhay, mabuhay!

- At least this time, she picked

a Filipino.

- Of course, next to her, we

have media mogul and supermodel

Tyra Banks is in the house.

Hello, Tyra.

- Hey, Ru.

- Girl, I saw you smiling

with your eyes.

What do they call that?

- Smizing.

- [laughing]

- Next to her, we have Academy

Award winner Mo'nique.

Mo'nique, is everything...

- Precious!

- Uh-oh, is Precious

back there?

- Mm-hmm, she better be

cooking me something to eat.

- [laughing]

All right, ladies and gentlemen.

With us

is the fantastic Tina Turner.

Hello, Tina.

- All right, RuPaul.

- Are you gonna be nice or

rough on the Snatch Game?

- I always do it rough.

- [laughing]

- Next to her is the late, great

Joan Crawford.

Now, that is not a wire hanger.

- It's not.

- What is it?

- It's a wooden hanger.

- Mariah's Joan Crawford,

I think it's a little crunchy,

and I don't think Joan

would ever allow herself

to look that bad.

- Next to her, of course, is

Grammy winner Alicia Keys.

- Ooh, ooh!

New York!

Now, Alicia, a little birdie

tells me

that you got a secret

to tell us.

- Yo, I am pregnant,

and I am fierce, ah!

- All right, next to her

is the incomparable...

Jennifer Lopez is with us.

And, honey, I got your rider.

- Yeah, compliment, compliment,

question.

- Yes, yes.

- Thank you.

- Next to her is England's

gorgeous rock superstar

Amy Winehouse.

Hey, Amy.

- Hi, how are you?

- [laughing]

- I think this is your first

game show in America.

Have you done game shows

in England?

- Yes, yes.

[garbled speech] Once.

Um, I have...

- Yes.

All right, Amber, Aisha, I will

ask a series of questions,

and our celebrities will fill in

the blanks.

You give an answer you think

will match theirs.

Are you ready to snatch

the stars?

- Mm-hmm.

- Yes.

- Starting with Aisha.

Crazy Daisy is so crazy, she

thinks a Kardashian is a...

- Country in Africa.

- That's a very good answer.

Let's see if you got any matches

up here.

Oh, you've got more shoes,

Imelda.

- These ones have sparkles

on here.

It match your outfit.

- Did you write down

your answer? Good, good.

- Designer shoe?

- Not a match

but a very good answer.

All right, Tyra.

- I only have one answer

in my hand.

And this answer

is the only answer.

Naomi Campbell

is a come-guzzling whore!

I hate her. I hate her.

I hate her!

She ruined my life!

- [laughing]

- Smizing.

- All right, Mo'nique.

- Yeah?

- No, it's cool. It's cool.

We cool, Mo'nique.

- Hold up.

- Yeah, baby.

All right, let's go to the great

Joan Crawford.

- My eyebrows.

- "My eyebrows."

- That was almost...

nothing like what I put down,

but...

- All right, let's go

to Amy Winehouse.

Crazy Daisy thinks a Kardashian

is a...

- Lubricant remover.

- Lubricant remover.

- That's a great answer,

actually.

- It is a great answer.

Unfortunately, Aisha,

it's not a match.

Up next, Amber Rose.

Psycho Sally is so psycho,

instead of kissing her dates

good night, she blanks them.

- She stabs them.

- Let's start with Cher.

Instead of kissing her dates

good night...

- She buys them tickets

to my never-ending tour.

- Not a match.

All right, Tyra Banks.

- That answer is "smizes."

- She smizes them.

- And Naomi Campbell

is a come-guzzling whore!

- [laughing]

Tita Turter, what do you have?

- She sends them rollin' down

the river.

All right.

- All right, Joan Crawford,

Psycho Sally...

- She cuts their rose bushes.

- No, unfortunately, that is

not a match.

- Mariah could've given us

a little bit more drama.

You always remember

the shrieking kind of...

you know, that intensity

from Joan Crawford

and especially

in Mommie Dearest.

It would've been nice to see

a little bit more

of that extremity.

- Alicia Keys, let's see

if you match Amber Rose.

- I match you, Amber.

- Yes.

- Completely.

- Psycho Sally, what does she

do with her dates?

- She give them the number.

Call me, baby.

I'm just waiting for you.

- [laughing]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jennifer Lopez.

Now, Psycho Sally is so psycho,

instead of kissing her dates

good night...

- She actually marries them to

promote her next album.

- Oh, that's what she does.

Now, Aisha, Freaky Fanny

is so freaky,

instead of shaking hands,

she shakes...

- Schlongs.

- Schlongs.

- Trips off the tongue.

- What'd you got, Cher?

- It's not a match.

- Not a match.

- She shakes with age.

- See, that would never happen

to you, doll.

- Never.

- Never, never, never.

Mo'nique.

Freaky Fanny is so freaky,

instead of shaking hands,

she shakes...

- A chicken leg in my face,

'cause the bitch know

I'm hungry.

Bitch know it.

I'm hungry as hell.

- We'll see you about

getting you some food

over here, all right.

Let's go to the great

Joan Crawford.

- Since I lost Barbara,

could we get Mo'nique to come

and be my new housekeeper?

- Well, you're both

Academy Award winners.

- f*ck that skinny bitch.

- Okay, all right, all right.

Now, Joan, what do you have,

darling?

- Shake the sh*t

out of Christina.

- Aw.

Not a match.

Tyra, is there anything going on

that you want to tell us about?

- What?

- Are you smizing too hard?

- I think I've smized so hard,

my eyes bled, girl.

- Oh, my goodness!

She's smizing her head off

over there.

But you still look gorgeous.

- Thanks, girl.

Word.

Peeeeeace!

- All right, next round.

Dirty Diana is so dirty,

she washes her weave with...

- Lysol.

- With Lysol.

'Cause she's dirty.

- Yeah.

- All right, we'll go directly

to the Philippines

and Imelda Marcos.

- Don't cry for me,

Filipinos.

- Yes, darling, yes.

Dirty Diana is so dirty, she

washes her weaves with...

- Sweat from my feet.

- Sweat from your feet.

- Oh, 'cause of wearing

all these shoes!

- Yes, they must sweat

terribly.

- All right, Tita Turter.

- You want to know one thing?

- Yes, I want to know.

- You want to know why?

- I want to know why.

- Love.

- Love. What's love

got to do with it?

- Don't...no, no, no.

Mm-mm, can't do it.

- All right, keep it real,

Tina.

- All right, real.

I'm a long way from Nutbush, Ru.

Hallelu.

- [laughs]

- That is maybe the worst

Tina Turner I have ever seen.

She was like, "I...

"I don't know, like, hallelu.

"What's love got to do with it?

Hallelu."

- All right, Alicia Keys!

- ♪ Amber, Amber, yeah ♪

- She got her number, yeah.

- I'm writing a new song.

It's called Amber.

- Amber, okay.

- Yes.

- I think there should be an

Amber Alert out for Alicia Keys.

All right, Dirty Diana is so

damn dirty, girl.

- Mm-hmm.

- She wash her weaves

with what?

- Dush?

- With douche.

- With a douche.

- With a douch...

- Oh, that's the hood spelling.

- That's the hood, baby.

- She meant to write "douche,"

but she write "dush."

- Oh!

- Yeah.

Unfortunately, we have run

out of time.

Amber, Aisha,

the final score is...

Who cares?

On behalf of all our stars,

thank you for joining us

on the new Snatch Game!

Good-bye, everybody!

See you next time.

[applause]

- I haven't been able to talk

to my grandma

since I came

into this competition.

[phone line rings]

And we talk, like, every day.

- Hi.

- Hey, Grandma, it's me, DJ.

We were raised in a Southern

Baptist lifestyle.

And I know that it was

a big shift to go,

"Oh, my god, my grandson's

a drag queen now."

But my gram loves me.

She's been one of my biggest

supporters.

- Just have to keep going.

Just don't give up.

- No, I'm not gonna give up.

I promise that.

- Okay.

- Today when I'm talking

with her on the phone,

it just reinspires me

for this competition.

I don't want to let her down.

- Good morning.

- Hello, hello, hello.

- So we're back in the workroom,

and the look for today

on the runaway

is to look fabulous

in our favorite drag.

But not everyone is at the most

confident right now.

- Is this what you wear usually?

- Uh-huh.

- God, I'm swimming in it.

It's so huge.

Squeezing the gas out of me.

- Well, imagine

this is what I wear.

- This is why you fart so much.

- This is, like, what?

A twenty...

Oh, this is a 34.

- Oh! No.

A 34 in where?

This better be 34 in Europe.

- Yeah, this is my

best friend right here.

And my mom's on the other wall

over there.

- What about your dad?

- Passed away.

- When?

- About two years ago.

I was mad at him

most of my life.

Just being on dr*gs so much

and, like, stealing.

And he was on cr*ck, basically.

- Right.

I'm starting to understand

a lot more

of why Stacy

is the way Stacy is.

- The way I was raised

and the way I grew up,

having to deal with my dad,

I feel like it made me nervous.

Like, I have panic att*cks.

But, you know, I've learned

to control 'em.

I feel like me and Shangela

have grown so close

in this competition.

I can open up to her and share

pretty much anything.

And we fall out.

- Oh!

She's like my sister.

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

- Mariah?

- Help.

Look, look, look, look,

look, look, look.

Help.

- Come on, barbershop.

- It's just the story

of Shangela.

She's got all personality,

but how much skill

does she have

as someone who can, you know,

put herself together?

She always has somebody

helping her out.

She's got her little minions

over there.

- Clearly, there's two cliques

going on,

and one of the cliques

is Shangela's handmaidens.

She look like Tina Turner

after Ike b*at her down.

- These conniving b*tches are

talking about my sister, honey.

And so of course I'm gonna go

tell her, honey.

- Who?

- The clique.

- Initially, I thought,

"Well, I'm gonna go over

and find out what they're saying

about me."

But, honestly,

what will that change?

When people are talking

about you,

that means

you're doing something right.

This hair is not soundproof.

- If she hears it,

then she hears it.

I don't have to scream it

out loud,

but I will use my normal tone

of voice,

and I will let her know that

"you know what?

Do it yourself."

- Just so you know, Cousin It

can still hear you.

- What makes a good

impersonator,

and what makes a good female

illusionist?

- Carmen, you should've asked

this question yesterday.

- Right.

Maybe I should've thought of

y'all answers yesterday.

- Don't be a jerk!

Such a jerk.

- Sorry.

- I remember my elementary

school teacher

called me a jerk one time.

- Really?

- I called her a heifer.

I grew up in Gainesville,

Georgia.

It was not the easiest

experience.

No, I pretty much was picked on

for one reason or another.

Either I sounded too white

or I wasn't black enough.

I just didn't fit in.

I just knew I needed to get

where I had a lot more

opportunity.

And I stumbled into the world

of drag.

Girl, I'm gonna get my life.

And if the arrow goes real high,

hooray for you.

And what?

[applause]

Hey, guys.

Welcome to the main stage of

RuPaul's Drag Race.

Hey, Michelle.

- Hey, baby!

- Santino.

- Hey, Ru, I missed you.

- I wrote you letters.

Did you not get them?

- [chuckles]

- Amber Rose.

- Hi, Ru.

- So happy you're here.

- Thank you for having me.

- Aisha Tyler.

- Ru, Ru, yoo-hoo.

- This week,

we challenged our girls

to do their best celebrity

impressions.

Tonight they've come

to the main stage

wearing their favorite

drag looks.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win!

It looks like she's going back

to her roots.

- I love the dark, wicked

bitch look.

I feel so powerful.

- Very Gaultier.

- It is Gaga Gaultier.

- Shangela.

- Oh, and the reveal.

What?

- I picked out this beautiful,

cream-colored structure gown...

design couture.

- First time

you see a black woman

whose hair can provide shelter

from the rain.

- Can you save me a slice of

that hair pie?

They call this queen Mariah.

- Her legs are amazing.

- Gorgeous legs.

- I am a wild animal

on the runway.

I stalk my prey, I hunt,

and I pounce.

- Let me just say,

as a black woman,

I have a very flat ass.

And now I know

where it all went.

- It all went to Mariah.

She took it all.

Raja.

- Two tribes go to w*r.

- That's right.

Shaka Zulu, honey.

- The look I've chosen

is quite global,

just kind of

National Geographic drag.

Apocalypto Amazon gal.

- She served you up

on the Serengeti.

- Girl, the natives are

restless.

Alexis Mateo.

- Quinceanera.

- This, by the way,

is one of the real housewives

of Puerto Rico.

- I am wearing a creation from

one of my friends,

and I just feel like a princess.

- It makes me hungry

for some sherbet.

Carmen Carrera.

She's at the cabana by the pool

serving glamour.

- I'm feeling like a supermodel

on the runway right now.

My head held high

and just kind of, like,

letting the chiffon blow

behind me.

- Look at that chassis.

- And look at the

undercarriage.

- She's one fierce

mother tucker.

- Stacy Layne Matthews.

Formerly Stacy Layne Bryant,

but she got married.

- This gold coat is my

signature piece.

I'm feeling very confident

in what I'm wearing.

Stacy Matthews has arrived.

- This face is just popping.

- See, now, Mo'nique should have

worn this to the Oscars.

Delta Work.

- Got to love a pantsuit.

- Ann-Margret.

- Ann-Margret...

after the buffet.

- On the runway, I'm feeling

confident today.

I feel great.

I love my outfit.

- That red hair is so gorgeous

on her.

- Delta, you better wooooork!

- Manila.

- Very Twiggy.

- That must be

the Filipino flag.

- I'm getting pinay fish

in this really, really, really

cute Filipino flag dress.

- Filipino couture.

- From the house of Imelda.

- All right, ladies.

Fun and games are over.

When I call your name,

step forward.

Raja.

Stacy.

Alexis.

You are the top three.

Yara.

Delta.

Mariah.

You...

are the bottom three.

Carmen. Shangela. Manila.

You three are safe.

And "safe" is a word

that I have come to loathe

in this competition.

Moving forward, I want you to

make bold choices

worthy of America's next

drag superstar.

You three may leave the stage.

Ladies, you represent the

best and the worst of the week.

It's time

for the judges' critiques.

Let's start with Raja.

- All I have to say is...

[clicking tongue]

- Well, f*ck you too.

[laughter]

- You bring it to the runway

every time.

And I love this global warrior

princess you've got going on.

And as far as your Tyra Banks, I

laughed out loud several times.

- I thought because

you know her so well,

you could've done so much more,

because she is a human

caricature.

- I loved

your runway look today.

I thought that it was bold,

drama.

You know, it really felt

editorial.

It really felt high fashion.

And that was really exciting

to see.

- Thank you, Raja.

Up next, Alexis Mateo.

- I loved your Alicia Keys.

You k*lled that.

It was so, so funny.

- I love the color,

and I love the bling on it.

You look like a real housewife

of Dubai.

- I love gaudy things,

and that's very gaudy

and sparkly and glamorous.

And I think you look great.

And the fact that you were

flirting with me was a plus.

And I was like, "Damn, I'm gonna

get some Alicia tonight."

[laughter]

- Stacy.

You told me that you were going

to be Anna Nicole Smith.

What had happened?

- I feel like I'm relating more

to Mo'nique,

so that's why I switched.

- You stayed physically

in that character.

Your facial expression

was completely different.

You know, you had the...

yeah, and you held it, mama.

You never fell out.

Look at...

[laughter]

- You're so beautiful.

I mean, you're representing

the big girls,

and you're doing a great job.

I mean, you have, like, breasts,

and it looks amazing.

You look so good.

Like, wow.

- I'm so proud of you tonight,

Stacy.

You stepped it up this week.

You need to now realize

that you can't go back.

- Yep.

- All right, thank you, Stacy.

Raja, Alexis, Stacy...

you may leave the stage.

Yara Sofia.

Let's start with you.

Aisha?

- I loved your look today.

I thought it was really

original.

It was really exciting.

That being said, I struggled

a little bit

with your Amy Winehouse.

I could not understand the

accent that you were doing.

I was like, "Is she German?"

- I'm totally into your

dark, wicked bitch look

that you got going on.

I like your own brand

of what you're bringing

to this competition.

- Because Amy is such a big

character, we want more.

You have it.

Give it all.

- I will. I will.

- Next up, Mariah.

How'd you feel

walking the runway?

- Frankly, I'm surprised to be

down here.

I definitely believe that

there's someone more qualified

to be in my position right now.

- Who?

- Carmen Carrera.

She played a bitchy version of

herself.

If I wanted to be offensive,

I could play a knock-off

Filipino.

But I'm not a judge, so...

- I'll speak for myself.

You know,

being a Joan Crawford fan,

I was so happy that you chose

to do that role.

I was disappointed, though,

that there were a lot of missed

opportunities with punch lines.

Were you happy with your

performance?

- I was...I was...I was pleased

with my performance, yes, ma'am.

- All right.

Next up, Delta.

- If you're gonna be a queen

and you're gonna deliver Cher,

bitch, you better deliver Cher.

You were shy Cher.

- There are so many Cher-isms,

and I didn't want to rely

on what you've seen.

And I thought what I would do

was amp it up,

and I didn't turn the knob

completely.

- Delta, what's going on?

Why are you holding back?

- Thank you, ladies.

I think we've heard enough.

While you enjoy

an Absolut cocktail

in the Interior Illusions

Lounge,

the judges and I will

deliberate.

You may leave the stage.

Okay, just between us girls,

what do you think?

Let's start with Raja.

- Raja on the runway was,

for me,

far and away, the top dog today.

- Being that she has worked

with Tyra,

she could have made it

a little more irreverent.

- But then Tyra would have sued

the sh*t out of us.

[laughter]

Let's talk about Alexis.

- Her Alicia

was fully realized,

not just the voice

but the look, the physicality,

the jokes.

It was like

your granddaddy's boat;

it was tightened up.

- I'm kind of stuck with Alexis.

- Really?

- 'Cause I feel like

she's stuck.

I feel like we're seeing the

same thing in different colors.

- But she k*lled Alicia Keys,

in a good way.

- Well, let's move on

to Mo'nique.

- She was funny even when

she didn't speak.

She really was in that character

at all times.

- As far as the runway goes,

really?

Your favorite drag look are

those pants,

which happen to be...

you know, she's hanging

with her besties,

Poly and Esther.

- Yara Sofia.

- Obviously, the accent

did not work.

- In the beginning,

it was funny.

Then it got, like, really dry

and not in a good way.

- But she made brave choices

on the runway.

The dreads were off the hook.

That face makeup was what-what.

- Miss Mariah.

- I don't understand

the black cheeks.

- It was Lily Munster.

- It was!

That wasn't Joan Crawford.

She would never go out without

blending all that in.

- It was a really bad

Joan Crawford.

There was just so much

that she didn't do.

- Well, it's been her criticism

before

that she sort of fakes her way

to the middle.

- She could sleep her way to

the top.

- Even when you get to the top,

you're gonna have to have

something to deliver.

Delta Work.

- It's Cher. You learn that

in Drag School 101.

- You need to have

that confidence.

When you walk into a room,

it's like, "Honey, I'm here,

and I'm Cher."

She didn't do that.

- I just want to say to Delta,

"Schnap out of it!"

Silence!

I've made my decision.

Tina!

Bring me the axe.

Welcome back, ladies.

Now, based on your performance

in the Snatch Game

and your presentation

on the main stage,

I've made some decisions.

Raja...

your impersonation of Tyra Banks

smizing

brought tears to my eyes.

You're safe.

Alexis Mateo.

No one, no one, no one

can do Alicia Keys like you.

You're safe.

- Stacy, I had all but given up

on you.

But you played

to your strengths,

and you came out on top.

Isn't that precious?

- Yes.

- Condragulations, you are the

winner of this challenge.

[applause]

And you've won a cruise for two

to the Bahamas

from ALandCHUCK.travel.

- After being in the bottom

and all these b*tches

talking sh*t,

saying, "Stacy Matthews,

why are you here?"

f*ck those b*tches, honey.

- However,

you will not be immune

from elimination next week.

From this point forward, no one

will receive immunity.

Ladies, make every moment count.

Mariah...

your impersonation

of Joan Crawford

was not Mildred Fierce.

I'm sorry, my dear, but you are

up for elimination.

- Being bottom two,

I didn't realize

how emotional it could be.

It's definitely intense.

- Yara Sofia.

Playing a mess does not give you

permission to be messy.

Delta Work,

your impersonation of Cher

didn't make any of us believe.

I'm sorry, Delta, but you are up

for elimination.

- To see Stacy win

and I'm in the bottom two

was, just, like, the travesty

that's gonna go down

in, like, history as WTF.

- Yara, you may join

the other girls.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance

to impress me

and save yourself

from elimination.

The time has come...

for you to lip-sync

for your life.

Good luck.

And don't f*ck it up.

- ♪ Gave you love ♪

You did me wrong ♪

Now other guys will have me ♪

They'll appreciate my love ♪

Tell me ♪

How does it feel ♪

- Even though Mariah's really

serving it,

Mariah doesn't know her words

too well.

But Delta's hitting, like,

every word.

Mariah's just, like, there,

like...

- ♪ Other guys will have me ♪

- I knew most of the words to

the lip-sync song,

but there was some gaps, so

I'm gonna make up something.

Fill in the gaps, bitch, with

"elephant shoe," honey,

"cantaloupe,"

and "sha-laba-laba-tuna."

- ♪ I'm looking for

a new love, baby ♪

A new love ♪

♪ ♪

- Yes!

[cheers and applause]

- Yes!

- Ladies...

I have made my decision.

Delta Work...

shantay, you stay.

- Thank you

for the second chance.

- My beautiful queen.

This is not the end.

This is the emancipation

of Mariah.

Now sashay away.

- Thank you.

[applause]

I'm feeling entertained.

Their judgment was interesting.

It wouldn't have mattered if I'd

have done anything differently.

You play the game and then go.

It's gonna be hell

getting the bags back home.

- Condragulations, ladies.

You are all one step closer

to becoming America's next

drag superstar.

And remember,

if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell are you gonna

love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

all: Amen!

- All right,

let the music play!
