Original subtitles

- [RuPaul] Previously on All Stars...

Each week the winner will eliminate

one of her fellow queens.

- How do you feel about the whole elimination set up?

- I'm just gonna send the bitch home

that I think is the strongest.

- [RuPaul] Welcome to "RuPaul's All Star Variety Show".

Aja. - You really brought it.

That jump, it was just insane.

- [RuPaul] BenDeLaCreme.

- You look stunning, head to toe,

and then you give us comedy.

- [RuPaul] Morgan McMichaels.

- Any self doubt, knock it off.

Because anything less than a hundred is not good enough.

- [RuPaul] Chi Chi DeVayne.

- All I kept doing was looking at the shoe.

It was almost like down here,

when the rest of the girls were taking it up there.

- BenDeLaCreme, you're a winner, baby.

- Thank you.

- Which queen have you chosen to get the chop?

- When we, as a group, talked about why we might

eliminate somebody moving forward,

we talked about that we would not want to make that decision,

pretty much unanimously, based on knocking somebody

that we saw as fierce competition out of the way.

And that is something that you would do,

so I chose Morgan McMichaels.

- I think DeLa believes that we're set on a group consensus.

Baby, that's a completely different TV show.

- Morgan McMichaels, sashay away.

- Oh, my goodness. - Bitch.

- Somebody really fierce, Morgan McMichaels,

has sashayed away.

Next week it could be me. It could be Shangela.

It's probably Chi Chi.

- "Keep rocking and slay fabulous."

- Ben, how shitty do you feel?

- Really shitty.

It's just like these are impossible decisions.

The reality of what this competition is gonna feel like

is really sinking in.

I don't want it to be up to me who goes home.

This sucks.

- Ugh. Wake up, bitch. You had to make a decision.

Nobody envied you, but you made it, move forward.

- But you got $10,000, girl. Halleloo.

- Congratulations.

- But it's like not winning.

It's like--it feels really bad.

- Mama, girl, oh.

Ms. BenDeLa is giving y'all you boo-hoo fish

over here at the mirror.

Girl, she sent Morgan home because Morgan was saying,

"Oh, let's get rid of the strong competition",

and BenDeLa's a strong competitor.

That's the reason she sent her home.

Miss DeLa is playing the game just like the rest of us.

- Well, I just want you to know that

you didn't make the wrong decision,

and I'm just gonna try to rock it out for you, baby.

- Spritz, spritz, bish.

- So here's to Morgan, everybody.

- Here's to Morgan.

- So if you, Miss Thing, had won that lip sync,

what is in your titty?

- I chose, uh, Chi Chi.

- Oh, there it is.

- It's uncomfortable because Chi Chi's right there.

- It was really just based on the judges giving her a harder,

like, critique for everything.

- Really? Okay.

Well, trust me, don't--don't-- don't--don't--don't ever sleep

on Chi Chi DeVayne, boo, because I got something for that ass.

- So Chi Chi, you're taking Aja out next time?

- Let's get the fuck

out of this!

- I'm getting all these body suits

and I'm gonna go burn them.

I'm thankful that I wasn't in the bottom two

this first challenge, and so my goal now

is to try to get in that top two.

Live to fight another day. - Yes, we do.

- I'm coming at this like "Game of Thrones," okay?

I am the Daenerys Targaryen of drag.

Shangela Stormborn.

Baby, I'm the mother of dragons, I'm the breaker of chains.

I'm coming for the crown.

[chuckles]

Y'all, give me some powder 'cause I feel sweaty. Oh!

- [RuPaul] The winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars"

- ♪ RuPaul's Drag Race

- ♪ May the best woman best woman, win ♪

- We survived. - Ahh!

- We made it! - We did it!

- Good mernt'ing!

It is a new day, honey, yes. Ha-ha!

- After last week, I just think, bitch, the competition

has really turned, um--

- Everybody came to play.

The variety show was, I thought, amazing.

- Yeah.

- I had no idea who was gonna be in the bottom.

- I thought about it and actually there were

other people that didn't show as much talent.

- Do you have any opinions, if you want to share them?

- Milk.

- Oh, she done shook the table, honey.

[laughs]

- I just felt like it really wasn't much talent there

besides that it was your original song.

- Oh, God.

My performance was killer, and the original song

is gonna become a bigger hit than "Supermodel."

I thought I had a wonderful mix of talents in there.

- Milk, your talent can't be Velcro.

- I would've loved to come on and skate for all y'all,

but ice is hard to come by.

[sirens] - Whoa!

- She done already done had herses.

- Hey, All Stars.

- Hi! - Hey!

- My first name ain't Baby, so call me Miss Ross

and get a new attitude 'cause a she-ro lies in you.

Y'all come back now, you hear?

[laughing]

- Oh, my God.

- Hello, hello, hello, ladies.

- Hi!

- All Stars, I have some exciting news.

- Oh!

- For one night only, we're bringing back some classic TV

as we throw our very own "VH1 Divas Live".

[cheering]

- And this year, get this, it's a salute to Mama Ru.

[cheering]

- I mean, it's really just an honor

to be nominated by yourself.

[laughing]

- You'll be performing some of my greatest hits

in a lip sync extravaganza.

- Whoo!

- Each of you will portray a different iconic diva.

So, Milk, you'll be Celine Dion.

- Yes!

- Kennedy, you'll be Janet Jackson.

- Oh!

- Come on, Janet.

- Aja, you'll be Amy Winehouse.

- Yes!

- Chi Chi, you'll be Miss Patti LaBelle.

- Ooh!

- Trixie, you'll be Dolly Parton.

- Oh!

- Stretch, what a stretch.

- Shangela, you'll be the elusive chanteuse--

- Oh, yes. - Mariah Carey.

- Darling. Darling.

[laughs]

- Thorgy, you shall be Stevie Nicks.

- Yes!

- Thorgy. - Come on, Witchy Woman.

- BenDeLaCreme, you'll be Dame Julie Andrews.

- Oh, yes.

- And last but not least BeBe, you shall be

Miss Diana Ross.

- All right, Mother.

- #AllStars3.

Ladies, in a moment, you'll be rehearsing

with the ridiculously talented Todrick Hall.

[cheering]

- And tomorrow on the main stage, we'll be joined

by one of my all time favorite divas...

Vanessa Williams.

[cheering]

- Oh, my God.

- All right, Mother, all right.

- And for this week's runway, the category is Ru-demption.

We're giving you a chance to do over

your most infamous Drag Race fashion fails.

- Oh.

- I've got a lot of those. - Uh-huh.

- Gentlemen, start your engines, and may the best All Star win.

- Thank you, Ru! - Love you, Mother.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to "VH1 Divas Live".

- There's different levels of lip sync artistry in the room.

Some people are professional lip syncers.

- ♪ I don't care if people stare ♪

- Some people can actually do their character better.

So it's hard to say what's really gonna happen.

- All of these sections really give us a huge chance to shine.

- Yeah.

- Like the cards aren't stacked by what we have been given.

- Well, I feel like everybody's diva

is a representative of a little bit of them.

- Stevie Nicks could not be more perfect for me,

however, when have you ever seen Stevie Nicks do something

where some gay is in the front row of her show

going like, "Work, Stevie. You better fucking work!"

No. That's not Stevie.

I'm lucky that I have less lyrics,

however, I think mine was less funny.

It's really not fair.

There is no way, because I'm Stevie,

I'm ever gonna win this.

And I come right after you,

and you literally are set up to just win.

- Oh, no. - Just face it, girl.

- Mine--let me tell you--no. - All right.

- Let me tell you though.

- If you're gonna argue that, you're crazy.

- I could take Amy Winehouse-- - Oh, I know.

- Dolly, and make them all funny.

- I'm trying not to be like a conspiracy theorist

because that's what I was in Season 8.

It's just hard because I feel like I'm being set up to fail.

- I love my part. - Okay.

- When it comes to impersonating Celine, I am feeling good.

These other girls will have a tough act to follow.

- What are you wearing?

- I'm wearing her Met Gala outfit from this past year,

which is like a silver leotard

with like a Versace dress over top of it.

- Do you think everybody's gonna recognize that?

Like I don't know how iconic that was

because I didn't pay attention.

- I--I can't think of anything she wears

except that backward suit.

- The reason I want to choose the Met Gala thing was

because this year her fashion star is on the rise.

- Girl, nobody knows what Celine wore to the Met Gala.

That's such a weird choice.

A really weird choice.

- I did this one event where I performed Celine in front of--

- Oh, you've done Celine before?

- Yeah. In front of the guy

that was the event planner for her wedding.

And so as soon as he saw me perform it, he was like,

"Oh, my God, that is the best Celine."

- Well, good luck, because I think Ariana Grande

does the best Celine, but you can be a close second.

Ahh!

Honey, the big and Milky, she is mighty confident, Mama,

because the friend of a friend of a friend who was a friend

of a friend of a friend of Celine's had told her

it was lovely, girl.

Oh, she's about to throw the diamond into the ocean, honey.

She's about to give it to y'all. Well, all right.

- Coming up...

- Five, six, Kennedy, where you at?

- I got lost.

- Shangela is pissing me off, pissing Todrick off,

practically pissing off everyone.

- Ah!

Okay.

[RuPaul laughing]

- Hi. - Hello.

- Hi!

- Our maxi challenge this week is to perform in our very own

version of "VH1's Divas Live".

It's time to rehearse with Todrick Hall.

I hope the other girls are ready, 'cause I am.

- How y'all doing? - Good.

- We about to bring it with the diva's--oh, Lord, here we go.

[laughter]

- She's already in full character.

- Bitch, excuse me?

Are you ready?

- I'm sorry, darling.

I'm a method actress, okay?

I'm giving y'all

very Meryl Streep in this moment.

- This is the "Divas" episode, and you guys are gonna be

impersonating some of the most iconic,

legendary performers of all time,

so we definitely want to represent them well.

Are you guys ready?

- Yes. - Okay.

Well, we're gonna start with Kennedy,

and everybody else please have a seat.

Okay. You're gonna go five, four, three,

you just bend your leg, two, walk.

Five, four, three, two.

- Do I step my leg back out?

- Yeah, let me see it.

Five, six, seven, eight.

And five, four, three...

- Kennedy Davenport is known for being a fierce queen

that can dance the house down,

but right now the house is still up.

No chance of it even shattering.

Don't need insurance because it's not gonna come down.

And da, da, three, four, and five.

Okay.

Are you gonna be able to get that?

- I'll get it.

You have to understand I am a dancer,

but I freestyle everything.

I don't choreograph anything, so it's just tough on me right now.

- Can we move on? - Yeah.

- Let's go slow.

Five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, three, four-- - I'm lost.

- Kennedy, where you at? - I got lost.

- Is this gonna be too complicated?

- I mean, I can get it, but I'm having trouble right now.

- Are you telling me you're giving up already?

- Well, don't ask me-- I'm gonna give you my honest--

give you my honest answer.

- I just wanted--I--I want you to say "Yes, I can get it."

- I can get it. - Okay.

- Right now it's not registering.

- Okay. Tomorrow, no matter what,

you can't let your back-up dancers upstage you.

- 'Cause I'm coming for you back here, baby.

- Ooh!

- We'll be ready.

Okay, Thorgy Thor.

- I want to win a challenge

'cause I never won one on Season 8.

Fuck you, Bob.

- I am not gonna give you that much choreography.

We're gonna collaborate.

So I want to know if there are any things

that you specifically want to do or that you had in mind to do?

- Sure.

♪ Tell me one thing, do you like where you're going ♪

♪ I said who do you think you are? ♪

- Okay.

Um, who is Stevie Nicks to you?

- Stevie Nicks is one of my biggest inspirational divas

throughout my entire life.

I love her. I love her.

The stereotype is that she's this witch,

but she actually is not a witch.

She's just an eccentric Gemini.

- Girl, if you're gonna bring it, you have to bring it.

With the rumor that Stevie's a witch, you can do so much.

Like, bitch, I would've came out with a pot, a broom.

I would've came out like, with a--with a wand,

like whoo! Whoo!

- So I think we should incorporate

some of the stuff that you're naturally doing

and make it choreography.

So when it gets to the chorus, can you,

like, lean this way a little bit?

- She's not a very, like, active, acrobatic, you know.

- Person, yeah. I just wanna see--

- She's just so strong.

There's usually a wind machine underneath her or something.

- Yeah. We gave our wind machine to Beyonce,

so we're not gonna have that today.

- Oops.

- But we will pretend that the wind machine is here.

Thorgy is such a Stevie Nicks purist that he kept saying,

"Stevie Nicks doesn't really do this.

She doesn't really dance."

And I think that's great to know your character so well,

but what can you do to make a drag version of Stevie Nicks?

- She's at a microphone and she's--

it's all internal and like... - Yeah.

But I think that it's a kind of a touchy situation,

because I don't want you to get lost in the shuffle.

- Stevie Nicks is difficult to do because

next to divas like Diana Ross and Patti LaBelle

and Janet Jackson,

she is not like, work, you know what I mean?

It just doesn't feel fair.

Because it's gonna seem a little too subdued, right?

- What, you mean, like levels? What are you doing--

- When I'm spinning like, I don't--

It's incredibly important to stand out amongst

all these girls because we're all so talented,

but how do you stand out performing as Stevie Nicks?

That's my problem.

- All right. Let's bring up Ms. Mariah Carey.

- She is on another level today. Oh, my God.

Shangela doing her whole Mariah fantasy...

Girl, she's pissing me off, she's pissing Todrick off,

practically pissing off everyone.

- Ah!

Okay.

Jealousy is a killer in this industry, Mama.

- Let's play the music-- - Okay.

- --and hear what Mariah's gonna do.

- Is it in my ear? Hold on, baby.

- Oh, Lord.

- Ew. I cannot--I cannot with this.

- Oh, my God, the girls are so hateful this season.

Why they so hateful?

[laughs] - Okay, I'm ready.

- The girls are shading me.

They're like, oh, she really thinks she is the diva.

And some are joking, but some are serious.

- You're gonna cover her up with the fans.

- Okay. - So everybody take a fan.

- Oh! - Whoo!

- Sister.

Oh, girl, the big and Milky, honey, oh, girl.

She's throwing shade and then she plays it off

that she's just trying to be loose and fun with the girls.

She's not being loose and fun.

Honey, she thinks she's better than everyone in this room.

- And then she's gonna walk forward.

I'm not gonna be here to hold your hand.

- I'm sorry. I saw the hand.

- You might have to walk on your own.

- I'm sorry. I saw the hand.

- Shangela, step down from your high horse and just chill.

- All right. Ms. Ross?

- Yes. - It's your time, darling.

- Thank you.

- I don't want to pressure you, but you do know that Diana Ross

is RuPaul's, like, diva of all time?

This is a very Bianca Del Rio/ Judge Judy situation--

- I know. - --but to the umpteenth power.

You understand that? - Yeah.

- And if you don't fully embody Diana Ross,

he's gonna for sure know.

- Okay, Todrick, just keep adding that pressure on.

No, no, no. I really--I feel--I'm excited.

I'm excited that I get to play the real diva.

- Just show me what you would do.

Just take the stage, own it.

- BeBe does nothing. Nothing.

Just walks out as Diana Ross, but that's what BeBe does.

It's who BeBe is.

Okay. Okay.

- Diana is known to steal the party, steal the show,

and this show was far from stolen.

- That's great. I love it.

So we're gonna do you, BenDeLaCreme.

This is the thing, the juxtaposition of you

rapping this as Julie Andrews is what makes this funny,

so it has to be a mixture of swag

and then some pixie dust, okay?

Like, dun da da, body like boom.

- Like that kind of thing?

- But with a little bit more swag juice in it, okay?

- Okay.

- So you're gonna take three steps, one--

- One, two, three.

- One, two, three, and four, and you're gonna touch

your vagina with one hand at a time.

- On four. - Yeah.

Can I see you all do that? Three and four.

And you gotta make sure you go three and four.

Two, three-- - Okay, sorry.

- DeLa, there's a lot of footwork going on

that is not the footwork that we need.

I'm very, very worried. Can she handle it?

I don't damn know.

I know you're coming off of a good win, but I can't express

to you enough that it has to, has to, has to be, like,

swag, it has to be the lyrics, it has to be still in character.

- I totally hear that.

- If you slip up one step, you're fucked.

- Yeah.

Todrick stares straight into your soul

with those crazy, honey-colored eyes,

and finds whatever you're most insecure about,

and is like, don't do it.

He is terrifying.

- Okay. Chi Chi DeVayne.

And we're also gonna have Dolly Parton

and Celine Dion in this part.

- Okay.

Todrick is randomly choosing divas

to be part of other divas' solo numbers,

and I noticed that he wasn't choosing me.

- And BeBe should be in this.

- So I was like, this is my chance to stand out.

- Shangela should be in this, and Kennedy should be in it.

- Todrick? - Yes.

- I haven't been part of anything.

I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't done anything.

- Come.

- I will seize the day in order to kick everyone's ass and win.

- Thank you. I--I love that.

Sure.

- I can tell that Thorgy really wants to try and do more,

but I'm thinking she should be focusing more on making

her character bigger, not necessarily

in being in so many people's numbers.

- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and pose.

Okay. We can move on to the next girl.

Can I have Trixie?

- Thanks for including me.

- Honestly, I think the competition

sometimes becomes too much for Thorgy,

because she really compares herself to other people,

and then she starts to pick apart herself.

- Mamacita is in her head.

Good luck, sis.

- [RuPaul] Coming up...

- Watching yourself, you see things

about yourself that you may not have realized.

- Yeah, girl.

I didn't know I had a resting bitch face.

- What? - [laughs]

- You're gonna get two good double blinks.

[laughs]

[RuPaul laughing]

- Whoo!

- We are here. Oh!

- Come on, divas. - Good morning, everybody.

- This week's runway is Ru-demption, where we get

to remake our worst fashion faux pas,

and this is gonna be really interesting

because a lot of these girls have had some

real ugly fashions, including myself.

Shangela. - Yes, baby.

- How you feeling, boo?

- You know what?

I'm less concerned about the divas thing.

- Uh-huh.

- And more concerned about the Ru-demption look,

because not only is this a look that I failed at last time,

but also, Vanessa Williams was the judge on the episode I got--

- Gag! - Yeah.

When--of the fail that I'm doing today.

- So, if you fuck up, she's gonna--

- Twice in front of Ms. Vanessa.

- She's gonna see it.

- I was actually a little disappointed at first

because your number and Kennedy's number

and Ben's number and Chi Chi's number--

- Everybody's number?

- --all are, like, super high energy numbers, and I love--

- Do you think my number is high energy?

- Girl, you're doing Amy Winehouse.

You have dancers, you have two backup dancers.

I live for backup dancers.

- You know, we did a similar challenge

like this on my season.

We did Glamazonian Airways, which was a lip sync challenge,

and I did fine then and wasn't scared,

but there was also like twice the number of people here,

so I think that was part of it.

- Well, was the dancing as intense?

- God, no. - This dance is--

- Bananas.

- I mean, I wasn't here for All Stars 2,

but I feel like this dance seems to me like

the most intense dance that has been on this competition.

- Oh, my God. - Yeah.

- I feel like the Herstory of the World,

they were like truly lip syncing.

This is like choreography. - Yeah.

- Do you think they're gonna be looking

for a full transformation into the diva?

- Absolutely. - I think yes.

I think they're looking for likeness big time.

- Really? - Absolutely.

Do you remember last season when they clocked Katya's wig

for not being perfectly Diana's iconic hair?

- Yeah.

- He went home that episode.

- Trixie, how do you think you came off

on your season, because--

- I came off as pretty talentless.

- I disagree. - I think it's pretty fair.

I never won any challenges, and I went home twice.

- Shangela, how do you think you were perceived on your season?

- It was mixed.

I mean, honestly, I would meet people and they would be like,

"Oh, my God, I love you, and during your season

"my boyfriend hated you, but it's so nice to meet you

in person because now we both love you."

And I'm like, "thank you." - I get the same thing.

It's like being thrown in a room with people that you don't know.

- Mm-hmm.

- Somebody's gonna get on your nerves.

- Yes.

- And then on top of that, I'm very vocal about my feelings

and how I feel about a lot of things.

- Yeah.

But I take you different because I know you and I know, like,

that's a southern way of drag.

Like, the girls get you together in the room.

Kennedy and I go way back, and she is straight up not edited,

not filtered, not watered down,

and those lips are gonna be pressed together

and the eyes are gonna be clocked,

and you're gonna get two good double blinks.

I think that also watching yourself--

- Yeah.

- --you see things about yourself

that you may not have realized. - Yeah, girl.

I didn't know I had a resting bitch face.

- You didn't know? - No, I did not.

- She didn't know. Y'all, she didn't know.

- And I was like, bitch, I was not even looking like--

like that at that time, but I guess I was.

- Kennedy's just like a grumpy old man.

She's like a grandpa, like a grandpa who, you know,

can't hear well, and is just kind of angry,

but is just your grandpa.

It's your grandpa in a wig.

- How do you guys think I came off on my season?

- I thought you came off like quirky, friendly, fun.

- That's exactly who I am.

- I did think you were, like, jealous of Bob.

- I was the first person to say he is the funniest person alive.

- You were always like, "It's the Bob show."

- It's the Bob Show. - You know what I mean?

Yeah. - Every second.

There was just no room for anybody else

because his personality was so big.

That's what I was so, like, eye roll about, you know?

- Yeah.

- With that said, I hope he dies.

I probably was competitive with Bob in my mind only,

which is what Bob kept telling me, like,

"Girl, why you comparing yourself to me?

Like, I'm not trying to come for you."

I'm like, "I know, but I'm just as good as you."

I was just so, like, always in my head.

This is my thing. It's who I am.

- You was like one of my top picks.

I was like, damn, I mean, she is so good.

- Thank you.

- But I also felt that you just was like so defeated.

- Like within my own self? - Yes.

- I feel like I'm much more talented and much better

than people give me credit for, and I'm always talked over.

- Why do you feel like people over talk you?

I want to make sure I'm not doing that to you

because I would hate to make you feel like--

- Girl, tell her ass to shut up, you're talking.

- I--I just don't--

- Please do that to Kennedy

because she over talks everybody.

- No, I over talk you. - What?

- I over talk you.

- You should be the last one to talk.

Shangela, you talk so goddamn much.

- I do.

♪ Sexy sexy drag queen

- [RuPaul] Serving Ru-demption Runway, Milk.

Crazy, sexy, cool, Season 6, and here's the remix.

- [Carson] Apparently it's skim Milk.

- [RuPaul] Yes.

- [Milk] With the original, the judges wanted

to see glamorous Milk,

and so I want to shove it in the judges' face,

what they thought I could never do.

- [RuPaul] I think she's pinning

all of her hopes on this outfit.

Aja. Fairy tale princess disaster,

Season 9, and this is the remix. - [Michelle] Ahh.

- [RuPaul] You're beautiful.

- [Aja] This look is probably where I felt the ugliest

and the lowest on Season 9,

and that's when the Aja transformation truly began.

- [RuPaul] Finally some disaster relief.

Thank you, FEMA.

Chi Chi DeVayne.

Neon realness, Season 8.

- [Carson] It's a Janet Jackson Pollack.

[laughing]

- [Chi Chi] I got so many harsh critiques about

not wearing pads or boobs,

so I got to show Michelle that I can suck my waist in

and wear big boobs and do all that too.

- [RuPaul] Why it gotta be black light?

Why it gotta be black light? I love it.

- [RuPaul] Trixie Mattel.

The ugliest dress ever, Season 7, and this is the remix.

- Whatever happened to Baby Jane?

That looks like one of hers.

- [Trixie] I know I'm nailing it because

Vanessa Williams is like...

I don't even know if she knows that I'm redoing an ugly dress.

So she probably thinks I'm supposed to be gorgeous,

and she's like "sure,

you're really painting with all the colors of the wind."

- [RuPaul] You know, this outfit reminds me I have pots

in the sink I need to scrub.

Kennedy. Death becomes her, Season 7.

Oh, honey, rigor mortis done set in.

- Yes. - Ooh.

- What? Uh-oh, oh!

- [Carson] You know, she's always so hot and cold with me.

- [Vanessa] She is!

- [Kennedy] So it's the same story from Season 7,

a night after hooking.

Tre threw me in the fire, but in the process,

I was crystallized.

- [Carson] You know, if you can't beat them--

- [Michelle] Stone them. - [Carson] Stone them.

- [RuPaul] Thorgy Thor. Neon queen realness, Season 8.

- [Vanessa] All of a sudden I'm craving a salad.

- [Thorgy] I live for what I wore,

but I feel like that was the child,

and this is like the mother.

- [Carson] I've heard of hammer toe, but never hammer head.

- Yes.

[laughing]

- [RuPaul] Reclaiming my lime. Reclaiming my lime.

BenDeLaCreme.

Dripping in jewels, Season 6.

Oh, my God, it's Jewelry Andrews.

[laughing]

- [BenDeLaCreme] I feel stunning in this outfit.

Anybody who says that I am not currently

dripping in jewels is just a flat-out liar.

- [Vanessa] Does the rug match the beaded curtain?

- [Carson] That's what you call vajazzled.

- Yes!

- [RuPaul] BeBe Zahara Benet.

Season 1 entrance look.

- [Todrick] Ooh!

- [Michelle] I love a power bottom suit.

- Yes.

- [BeBe] Season 1 I was giving you very secretary, honey.

But now, she actually owns the company.

Very Wilhelmina Slater, very that.

- [RuPaul] She serves at the President's pleather.

[laughing]

- Oh, my God. Shangela.

Christmas eleganza, Season 3.

Wow. - Fantastic.

- [Shangela] First of all, Ms. Vanessa ain't aged

or moved since Season 3.

Numero dos, to see the smile, is just total validation

for this moment.

- [Carson] We're gonna get you out of there, Shangela, hold on.

[laughs]

- [RuPaul] Shangela, if you can hear me,

there's only 30 more seconds of oxygen left in there.

- Good luck!

- [RuPaul] Coming up...

- She could have worked a little harder.

- It's a tiny bit basic.

- You didn't know the words.

If you did, then you missed them.

[RuPaul laughing]

- Welcome, ladies.

Based on your performance in the lip sync extravaganza,

and your Ru-demption Runway look,

I've made some decisions.

Now, when I call your name, please step forward.

Shangela, BenDeLaCreme,

BeBe Zahara Benet.

You are the top three this week.

- All right.

- Chi Chi DeVayne, Thorgy Thor,

Kennedy Davenport.

You are the bottom three of the week.

Aja, Milk, Trixie Mattel,

you are safe.

Please step to the back of the stage.

- Now it's time for the Judges' critiques,

starting with Kennedy.

- I liked the runway look.

I loved the covered face, and then this look, the makeup,

the contact lenses, the white lip, I think it's really fun.

- But I'm afraid with your performance,

you didn't know the words.

And if you did, then you missed them.

And I didn't get any Janet Jackson,

I got all Kennedy.

- I wasn't getting it in the moves, I wasn't getting it

in the makeup, I wasn't getting it in the wig.

- I do know Sean Cheeseman who did the original "Control"

and "Rhythm Nation," 'cause he left me to do Janet, so--

[laughing]

- Janet is a very specific kind of move, very kind of staccato.

You could've worked a little harder

in terms of making it really crisp.

- With that being said, I gave you

the most difficult choreography out of everybody that was here,

and that should be accounted for.

- Up next, Chi Chi DeVayne.

- When I first saw you come out,

I knew instantly that you were Patti LaBelle.

- Chi Chi, I was sold on your Patti.

You got the flicks, which is very Patti.

- And tonight on the runway you have your neon challenge.

- Mm-hmm. - Which for you and I, we--

- Yeah. - Yes.

And you look beautiful tonight.

I don't think you need that coat though.

Yes, girl, look.

We get to see your shape, beautiful.

- But it's a tiny bit basic.

Like, even with the hair, the makeup,

like, it just needs a little tweak.

- Can I just say, I just loved you in "Eraser".

- Oh, wow.

- Oh, my God. - Thank you.

- "Eraser", baby. "Eraser".

- Next up, Shangela.

- I love this look.

The original look was like Beyonce when she was

in Destiny's Child and sometimes wore questionable outfits.

And then when she was Beyonce, that's you right now.

You're slaying.

And I love that you captured the Mariah

that we know and love, which is a wonderful

and quizzical blend of confusion and confidence.

[laughing]

- It's just so awesome to watch you work from beginning to end.

From the moment you walked out onto the stage yesterday,

you were in character.

Sometimes a little too in character,

but I loved the fact that you owned the role

and elevated the movements that I gave you.

- This is a full circle moment,

because Vanessa judged Shangela before.

- Yes, I did, and you've come a long way

from when I saw you years ago.

You are a superstar.

- Thank you, Ms. Williams.

- Shangela, are you a Mariah fan?

- I'm a huge Mariah fan, and I hope when she meets me,

she won't know me.

[laughing]

- Up next, Thorgy Thor.

- Tonight on the runway, I like this a lot

better than the one on your season,

but it feels disjointed.

The wedge and the eyebrows seem like one part,

and the dress feels like a different part.

And then tonight the challenge was to embody

and become these diva women. - Okay.

- And I felt like I was looking at Thorgy with a blonde wig on.

- Oh.

- Yeah. I got the same thing that Michelle did.

I think it's about those visual cues, and you gave us

that with the hat and the costuming,

but the make-up wasn't as Stevie.

It's a fine line to still put yourself in it,

but also make somebody that does know you

know who you're impersonating.

So that was a miss for me.

- I think Stevie Nicks was a hard diva to do because it's--

- I'm trying to keep my mouth shut because I don't--

I don't want to make any excuses.

- Yeah, it's clearly not what--

- But it's not a gay-- it's not like a gay icon.

- Stevie Nicks is definitely a gay icon.

- The words came out of my mouth,

and I was like, she is to me.

I thought I did a really good job.

I'm a little surprised I'm the bottom, to be honest.

- You are all All Stars.

Honestly, we have to pick up on the slightest infraction

on the challenge, do you know what I mean?

All right, thanks Thorgy.

Up next, BenDeLaCreme.

Jazz hot.

- I gave you probably the most difficult challenge because

you had to be Julie Andrews, but you also had to have swagger,

but then you also had to know

every single one of these lyrics.

And I think that you just knocked it out of the park.

- How do you solve a problem like "Call Me Mother,"

because I don't even know the lyrics.

True story. It took me five days to record that song.

- Really? - To get the lyrics right?

- Yep.

- And it terms of the outfit, you're a dream in pink.

Very artistic in the 1930s, art deco.

- These are actually the earrings that were given to us

for that challenge in Season 6.

- I've been looking for those.

[laughing]

- Cameroon!

- Hello, Mother.

- BeBe Zahara Benet, have you met the first lady of Cameroon?

- I have not met her, but she's heard of me, honey.

[laughing]

- Baby, you were Diana Ross. It was amazing to me.

And here's the key that everybody

should look at for that.

You didn't do much to embody Diana.

- There wasn't a lot to do.

There weren't a lot of lyrics, but it was just

a couple of those gestures, the wardrobe.

- And you even got the hair bounce, girl.

- It was a real homerun.

- And then with this runway look, I just love it.

This was like BeBe Priestly, "Devil Wears Prada,"

the black version.

- Can we just say the black version of "Devil Wears Prada"

is Wilhelmina Slater? Hello? Thank you very much.

- Thank you, ladies.

Based on the judges critiques, I've made some decisions.

Shangela, BenDeLaCreme,

condragulations,

you are the top two All Stars of the week.

- Yes.

- You've each won a $1,000 gift card from Sparkles Rhinestones,

and a $1,000 gift card from Fierce Queen Heels.

BeBe Zahara Benet. - Yes, Mother.

- Chi Chi DeVayne...

You are safe.

That means, Kennedy Davenport and Thorgy Thor,

you are in the bottom two.

Shangela, BenDeLa, each of you needs to decide

which of the bottom queens you will eliminate

if you win the lip sync.

So while you and the queens deliberate in the workroom,

the judges and I will play a friendly game of strip poker.

Thank you, ladies. You may leave the stage.

Coming up...

- My mind's not made up.

I want to know is Thorgy going to be

a reliable strong ally for me.

If I throw you a bone, I'm gonna expect a bone

thrown back to me later on.

[RuPaul laughing]

- Thorgy and Kennedy, one of these bitches is going home,

but at this point I'm not sure how this is gonna go down.

It seems like the girls all have their own opinion

of how people should get sent home,

so it's up to DeLa and Shangela to decide.

- So how is everybody feeling?

- I'm just trying not to cry. I'm like really holding it in.

Like, it really doesn't feel good.

I'm like really trying--

- I would be crying right now. - --to, like, get words out.

Just give me a second.

- Sorry, girl.

- I don't feel like it made any sense to me, to be honest.

I'm nervous to go home.

I worked really hard to get here.

- I want to chat with you if that's okay.

- I'd love to chat with you.

- Should we go chat? - Yes.

- Wish I could have a refill.

- Yeah, we all need a refill.

I told y'all, "Game of Thrones."

If I'm gonna take over the Seven Kingdoms, honey,

I'm gonna have to have some allies.

I want to know, is Thorgy going to be

a reliable strong ally for me?

- Do I sit here and like beg? - No.

- Is it even worth it?

- You know, I'm gonna tell you the truth.

Yes, Kennedy is my friend.

I have known her for a while, but also--

- I know. It kind of like terrifies me.

- What I want to say is that my mind's not made up.

- Okay.

- But she knows as well as I do, this is a competition.

I respect you.

I know what kind of a competitor you are,

and you know how I am. - Yeah.

- If I throw you a bone, I'm gonna expect

a bone thrown back to me later on.

- I've been saying since day one...

- That's how this game is played, Mamacita.

- But it's a different game. - Yeah.

- If you win and you save me and you keep me, oh, my God,

I'm like--I want to-- I cannot leave.

I cannot go home. I am not ready to go home.

- Thorgy. Pros: she's here to play the game

and she is a fierce, creative, talented queen.

Cons: it's no secret that Thorgy sometimes

really gets in her head.

Is that gonna be a handicap to her

moving forward in this competition?

- I don't make excuses.

I'm very transparent.

This was a stumbling block, but I have so much more to give.

I mean, that's my whole focus of being here is

to let people see through this and see my heart.

Not so much on stage, because you can see my heart on stage.

- Right.

- But it's off stage that I want you to see it.

- I see it, girl.

- Since Season 7, I think mentally

I've grown to be a better me,

to be a more sickening and ferocious me, honey.

So leaving is not an option.

So don't tell me nothing, you know.

You make your decision based on what you have seen,

but, I mean, I don't want to go home.

- When I look at the full scope of who's here, I can see

Kennedy in that final three, but the biggest thing

working against Kennedy is that,

yes, she had some intense choreography,

but what I heard from the judges

was she didn't fully embody Janet

and she was a huge part of this challenge.

- You seemed like you really thought

you were gonna be in the top.

- I was in character the entire time, and...

to be standing on that stage and not--

not be commended for it...

- I think that's a lot of emotion for safe.

- It's stupid.

- Girl, do you want Celine to come over here

and sing you a song?

Girl.

- I was in eight of the ten numbers,

and I did the goddamn thing.

When I know I did a really great job, call me selfish,

but I want-- I want to hear it.

I was so excited to get up there

and hear what they thought of my performance,

and what they thought of my Ru-demption look

because in Season 6 all they wanted to see was glamour.

- I feel like you've been giving a lot of glamour.

- I--I can assume that that's what they think,

but I want them to congratulate me.

- Milk's perception of his performance

is obviously different than the reality.

Her Ru-demption Runway was something

that didn't really reflect why we like Milk.

It was like a safe, pretty choice.

Plus the Celine look was not very Celine.

- Do you have an idea of like why I should choose you

and Kennedy, you know what I mean?

Because right now I'm just like, I don't know.

- Here it is.

When you win this lip sync and you save me,

I'll owe you one.

Can I ask you an honest question?

- Yeah.

- Do you think I should be in the bottom two?

- Uh, I--

- I actually thought I did a great job.

- I was--I didn't see anybody, you know what I mean?

- Yeah, yeah.

I just have so many thoughts going through my head.

Like, when you're given Diana Ross and, like,

every comment is like, "It's Diana Ross, so..."

- Yeah.

- "You did less and that was so much more."

I'm like, to me that means you did nothing.

You just--it's Diana Ross.

I don't know, but that's why in the rehearsal I was like,

use me more.

- I know that Thorgy feels like she was focused

in the rehearsal process, but she'd be like in the back,

like, frustrated because she feels like she's being derailed.

It was like a weird subconscious thing happening, I think.

- I'd like to say no matter who you choose on that runway,

like, I love you,

but I can't predict the way I'm gonna react.

I--I would not feel right going home.

- I actually really love

what Thorgy has to offer as a drag queen.

I think she's a total weirdo in a way that I love,

but Thorgy gets upset fairly easily.

I'm worried that she would get in her own way eventually.

- So here's the tea. You know we can talk real.

When I talk to Kennedy, I want to make sure

that her heart is still in this competition

because she's gotta be in that top

or else I would've just wasted a save.

If I win, why don't I have your name in my hand?

- You know in your heart-- - Mm-hmm.

- --where my dedication was.

I put a lot into this.

- Yeah. - And I--

- Oh, I saw you stoning that wig for hours.

- I wouldn't have did this Season 7.

That's why I feel like I belong here,

because I have so much to give and so much to present.

- Let me ask you this.

If given the opportunity, would you send me to the house?

- There's certain boundaries that you just do not cross.

$100,000 is not worth losing a relationship.

It's just not.

And that's the type of person that I am.

- There's a lot to think about.

Right now I'm feeling torn.

When you base decisions just on your friendships,

then you make decisions that you might end up regretting.

- I'll raise you 20. - I'm in.

- I've got four queens.

[laughs]

- I hate this game.

These have always brought me luck.

- I'll take them.

- Just your size.

- Silence.

Bring back my girls.

[laughing]

- This is not an easy decision.

Each of these queens has a lot more to offer,

but they both had trouble delivering

what the judges needed from them.

So I genuinely have no idea what to do here.

- I made a decision, but am I making the right choice?

Is this queen going to push herself to be in the top,

and when she's there, can I count on her?

[RuPaul laughing]

- Welcome back, ladies.

Two top All Stars stand before me.

Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare

a lip sync performance of "Jump" by the Pointer Sisters.

This your chance to impress me, win $10,000,

and earn the power to give one of the bottom queens the chop.

The time has come... [thunder]

to lip sync for your legacy.

- Now BenDeLa, she's won two challenges at this point.

She's a sneaky ho, okay?

She ain't taking my $10,000. No, ma'am.

- Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Shangela, with great power comes great responsibility.

and be sent home again without getting the crown.

I know how that feels.

The person I've chosen to send home...

is Thorgy.

- Oh, Jesus. Gross.

- Thorgy, you are, and will always be, an All Star.

Now, sashay away.

- Gotcha.

I love you guys.

- Love you, too. - I love you, Thorgy.

I really mean that. I really do love you.

- Bye, guys.

Whoo!

I am not ready to leave this competition at all.

I have so much to give.

In comparison to some of the other girls here,

I think I deserve to stay a lot more.

"Drag is fun," and then because I'm gonna hate Shangela

for life, how about "Suck it Shangella,"

and I'm gonna spell it with two Ls because she hates that,

and then she can suck this,

'cause it's going that way.

Yeah, that's pretty disgusting.

Have a good time without me.

Bye. It's gonna be boring TV.

[bell ringing] I don't know what that means.

Is this gonna explode?

Please don't explode.

You'll be improving your way through The Bitchelor.

[laughing]

- There's something different about these girls,

but I can't quite figure out what it is.

- I don't think I'm psychotic,

I just think I'm really passionate about finding love.

- Yeah. - While the leaves--

- And that's why I'm here.

- And you were constantly overshadowed.

- If you're gonna be a bottom, at least be a power bottom.

- Season 3 Shange, you would've picked up

my cocktail and threw it on that ho.

- Fuck my drag, right?

Every week is just like turd city.

[laughs]
