♪ MTV

Previously
on "RuPaul's Drag Race"...

Get ready for
the Rate-A-Queen Talent Show.

This week half of you
will take the stage

to perform
a showstopping talent number.

What a performer.

And the other half
will rate the performances.

Juicy Love Dion...

based on her outstanding
performance.

Mia Starr...

her talent was impeccable.

Ciara Myst...

I don't think the reveals

were as strong
as she wanted them to be.

Ciara, I'm sorry, my dear,

but the queens have rated you
the bottom queen.

Next week, you will lip-sync
for your life.

Juicy Love Dion, Mia Starr,

you are the top two queens
of the week.

Juicy Love Dion...

Mia Starr, it's a tie.

Condragulations,
you are both winners, baby.

Oh...

my... God.

We're back in the Werk Room
after the first round

of the talent show
and Rate-A-Queen,

and, honestly, that lip sync
of Juicy and Mia tore.

Well, that was...

- A motherfucking lip sync.
- Sickening.

- That was a show.
- That was a fucking show.

I was spiraling in a tornado
behind there.

I had no idea
which way to look.

I was like, ah, ah!

Bitch, and then a double
fucking win--well deserved.

I literally, like,
could not hold back tears.

I was like...

Oh, my God, like,
this is a dream come true.

It's so amazing.
I just could not stop crying.

I was like...

Looking like Cynthia doll
from "Rugrats."

The fact that, like,

I'm able to share this win
with you is like, wow.

I'm gagged.
I'm so gagged.

And I fucking bow
to your legacy

and everything you've done.

And so, like, to share that
moment with you is just beyond.

Mia has just been
so supportive of my career

and trying to give me
opportunities wherever she can.

So, to, like, be at that level
with her, I'm honored.

We both ate that.

Mm!

And, Juicy, two wins, honey.
all: Hey!

Want that 10% off the top.

I know there
was going to be some talk

about my, like, family being
up for voting,

but y'all made it really easy
for me to vote,

because you guys did amazing.
- Yeah.

So it was not hard,

and, obviously, you call it
favoritism or not,

but I think it speaks for
itself--you guys deserved it.

I'm not here
with a support system.

Meanwhile, they're
at the family reunion,

I do feel like there is
a sense of ranks

kind of being closed.

It seems very clear
that the Dions

are looking out for Dions,
first and foremost.

Ciara, how are you feeling?

I mean, I've obviously had
an emotional day.

I took a risk choosing to do
an emotional piece,

and I know it was not easy
for you all.

I get it. It's not personal.
It's just drag.

But I have time to kind of
focus and galvanize

and be like, let's put
the pedal to the metal.

- Yeah.
- Absolutely.

As much as
I'm feeling bummed

about my placement
in Rate-A-Queen,

I'm also
a little bit curious about,

what are some of the factors

that played
into these girls' decisions?

Are you beating me down because
you didn't like my talent,

or are you beating me down
because we're not friends?

I hope that it truly
is plucking pussy hairs

at this point
in the competition,

but there is
a little bit of insecurity

that's sitting with me right
now asking those questions.

Well, the judgers
are now the judgees.

We have a new week coming up,

and y'all get to see what
we do, and be nice, please.

And we can't wait to eat our
popcorn and sit right there...

- Yes.
- Front row.

Honey, Juicy
has her second win,

and some
of the girls--me--

are trying to chase
after their first win.

Oh, my goodness.

There are
some game-playing girls

in this fucking competition.

Bitch, I'm one of them,
because I am not going back

to South Carolina, bitch,
empty-handed.

Oh, my God.

And if I keep my head
in the game,

my Black fat ass
is going to walk away

with that goddamn check.

It's getting gaggy.
It's getting gaggy!

Oh... my... God.
Oh!

Good morning, Werk Room.

Today group two
will be performing

in the Rate-A-Queen
Talent Show.

The girls that we judged
are now judging us.

Oh, God.

- Talent performers.
- Girls.

Is anybody nervous?

I'm excited
for the show itself.

- Me too.
- Like, that is the fun part.

Well, how do y'all feel?

It's a one-in-five chance

of being up
to lip-sync for your life.

- The math doesn't--
- Ooh.

Carry the 2.

Girl, I just have
an announcement.

I really wish the people
that are voting today

would not squabble
my opportunity.

Ooh, girl.

She done already done
had herses.

Come on, grandma.

Ru rule number 39...

the world is your stage.

Ooh.

And every stage
has a trapdoor.

Remember that.

- Pull the lever.
- Pull the lever.

Hello, hello, hello.

All right, queens, it's time

for our Rate-A-Queen
Talent Show, part deux.

- Let's go.
- Let's do it.

- Two.
- Two, bitch.

Myki Meeks, Athena Dion,
Kenya Pleaser,

Jane Don't, and Discord Addams.

This week you'll take the stage

and be rated by your sisters.

- Ooh.
- Oh.

- Severe.
- Let's get into it.

In the end,
this week's top two queens

will lip-sync for the win,

and this week's bottom queen
will lip-sync

against last week's bottom,
Ciara Myst, for her life.

Girl! Oh, my God.
all: Ooh.

And, yes, someone
will be going home.

Racers, start your engines...

And may
the best drag queen win.

- Where are my week-one divas?
- We're here.

Let's have a little meeting
in the ladies' room.

Oh.

While I may not have had
the most friends

on the group-two talent-show
performance vote,

I have a lot of them
right here with me.

So I have to play it smart,
strategic,

and see if I can get
my week-one sisters

to help me figure out how
I can stay in this competition.

Does anybody have,
like, any strategies

on how they're going to...

Are we considering runways?

I think we have
to consider it all.

How are you feeling
about today in general?

I'd feel great

if they weren't conspiring
to destroy us.

What's with all this conspiracy
going on?

This ain't fair.
You can't be doing all this.

I mean, I don't know
how you ladies are picking,

but I know I'm, like, taking
into consideration friendships

and all of that stuff,

but I still have yet
to see everyone's talent,

so I'm still going to keep
my mind open for that.

Family is family,
and family comes first.

Look, girl, I am friends
with everybody.

It's going to eat me up alive
to think about,

who am I putting
in that last position?

I'm making it very clear.
Athena--that's my sister.

No matter what she does,

I don't care,
I'm putting her up.

- Yeah.
- That's family.

Like, I can't see her drown.

I think it's undeniable
that relationships

are going to be part of it.
- Yeah.

And, candidly,
I have to think strategically

for myself as well.

I am not ready to leave
this competition,

and so I have to look
at those girls critically

and say,
who can I out-twirl today?

Do you have someone
in particular that you feel?

If I'm thinking
strategically...

I've seen Discord perform.

I love her.
I love her drag.

I love what she has to offer.

But I do have to think about,

how can Ciara Myst advance?

It seems like nobody

in the group-one talent show
has an alliance with Discord,

and I feel like maybe
she's the person

that I could take down
in this lip sync.

Since we had the difficult
position of going first,

we now have additional context
for how we rank this week.

I think Ciara
is definitely right

that she could take on Discord
in a lip sync.

However, Ciara doesn't know
that Discord is my girl.

When we did
the Q-Pop girl group,

we just identified
and connected with each other

over tattoos, scary movies,

and all of these things
that we have in common.

- You excited for yours?
- I am excited. I'm just...

I'm a little...

stressed about the voting.

The group-one girls
are over in a corner,

huddled up
like a peewee football team,

having conversations
with one another

about how the voting
is going to go down.

It's not a comfortable feeling
to be on the outside of that.

I guess I just don't know

where, like, Ciara
is going to, like, land.

I feel like
at the end of last week,

she seemed like she was going
to vote very strategically.

But that could go
in any direction.

I just don't like
the conspiring all of a sudden.

Like, we didn't conspire.

We were just watching the shows
with an earnest heart,

and then we went, and we had--
- "With an earnest heart"?

- We did.
- Amen.

Athena's like,
I played fair, asterisk.

But now all of a sudden,
there's, like, some kind

of conspiracy to find somebody
so she can lip sync to stay,

and I don't like that.

It also doesn't help
that I feel

like I'm not, like,
particularly close to Ciara.

I don't feel
like any of us are.

I don't think
she's judging closeness.

I think she's judging

who she thinks
she can take in a lip sync.

I am concerned
that the girls

are going to try to get me
this week.

But at the end of the day,

we should be judged on how
we're actually performing.

And I feel
like that's half the reason

I'm in the top
every fucking week,

is because y'all are trying to
make back-alley fucking deals.

How about you just do good?

They continue
to destroy my joy.

There is no reason
for any of these girls

to do me a favor here,

and they have every reason
to want to slow me down.

They are really talking
over there.

Bitch, about what?

So I'm feeling very nervous.

Okay, let's get
into drag, ladies.

- All right, let's do it.
- Let's get it to drag.

This week's Maxi Challenge
is the talent show, part two.

And group-one queens

will be rating group-two queens
using Rate-A-Queen.

What the frickin' heck?

- How's it going?
- It's going well.

Y'all had a lot
to talk about over there.

Well, we had to have
a team meeting.

Have kikiki.

A meeting
in the ladies' room.

We had a lot to catch up on.

You got the girls sweating
in their boots, honey.

In Greek, we say...

"I don't like this at all."

But last week,
I made a deal with my girls--

Juicy, Mia, and Darlene--

and I held up
my end of the bargain.

I'm hoping my girls
still got my back now.

What were y'all talking
about that long?

This strategy
of going into this week.

No.

Who are they gunning for?

Yeah.

Ciara thinks she can take
Discord in a lip sync.

But I just don't believe in,
like, sacrificing somebody.

So I'm going to give
a heads-up--

just clear conscience.

What are they thinking?

Just turn it.

That's what
I'm going to tell you.

It's like Ciara's gunning
for me just because she thinks

she can get me in a lip sync--
that's so fucked up.

- Just turn it.
- Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Mm-hmm.

Juicy lets me know
what Ciara's plan of action is,

which is to take me down.

Just turn it.

I'm not going to start
anything with any of them.

No, I'm just saying,
just turn it...

- Yeah.
- Regardless.

- Yeah.
- Be undeniable.

I'm confident in my talent.

I will be playing drums.
I will be playing keyboard.

I will be playing guitar.

But it doesn't matter
if people have schemes.

They're gunning for me.
That's--

Yeah, please help me.

I love you.

- Are you ready?
- I'm ready, bitch.

Honey, I'm feeling good
about my talent show.

I'm ready to show these girls
the true Pleaser principle.

It's going to be classy, sassy,
and a lot of assy, honey.

Bitch.

So last week
Mia and I made a pact

that if I put her first,
she would put me first as well.

In first position, Mia Starr.

And, honey, I stuck
to my motherfucking word.

- You gonna wear these hos out?
- I'm going to wear them.

You gonna lay them
on the big-ass bed?

Ooh, ooh. Ooh!

I'm here to compete.

If I have to lobby for votes,
I'm a politician today, bitch.

I will do it.

Let me get my little runway
together, bitch.

Athena, what inspired
your talent for today?

I'm actually really excited,
because I am--

I don't know if you guys
know this, but I'm Greek.

- What?
- Yes.

I've created, like, a whole
kind of, like, story

about my culture.

I've implemented some really
interesting traditional parts

of my culture into it

but keeping it entertaining
at the same time.

So I'm really excited
to deliver...

All my Greekness
to "RuPaul's Drag Race."

Okay, okay, opa.

Is it kind of like
a comedy number?

I would call it
a variety show.

I feel the need
to step up to the plate.

Miami's watching.
America's watching.

I need to deliver.

I think the girls are
underestimating my abilities,

and I think this is my
opportunity to feed it to them

and watch them eat it.

I'll be throwing Greek
meatballs at all of your faces.

In Greek, we say...

"Enjoy your meal."

I look like Bjork.

- Right now?
- I look like Bjork.

Jane.

Jane.

I look like Bjork.

Inside the TV,

there is a tiny city

full of people
who are all lactose intolerant.

I'm satisfied with this look.

No, I think that's it, baby.

When you stay Bjork...

both: You don't have to
get Bjork.

I have to do my makeup.

Right.

I'm very excited
to see your talent.

I'm excited to present it.

The number that I made is
a reference

to a Bette Midler cabaret act,

and it's a reference
that I know the judges

will immediately get.

It's not necessarily
a reference that I'm sure

that all of the other girls
in this competition will get.

So that stresses me out
somewhat.

I want you in the top two
for this one.

Like, I just want you here.

But I know
you're going to be there

and earn it regardless, so...

Well, I hope so.
We'll see.

I just catastrophize
everything.

I'm just always convinced,
and I'm, like,

this is the moment when
the girls finally turn on me.

What are you feeling

about choosing
your potential lip-sync mate?

Discord.

I love you, diva, but...

but that is what it is.

Do you think
she is even expecting it?

- No.
- 'Cause she's always coming in

really confident
about everything she's doing.

And she wanted to be
in the top every week,

and she was in the bottom
two weeks ago.

Yeah.

Discord
is always the most confident

in herself regardless
of the situation.

So sometimes
that blind confidence

can get you in trouble
if you're not looking

at the situation realistically.

Myki and Kenya
are our glam sisters,

and we had talked
at the beginning

about, like, an alliance,
and I don't know that that...

I mean...

Came out as strongly
as it could have, perhaps.

Given how the voting went,

the glam alliance
never happened.

It didn't hold.
- Yeah.

The purpose
of the glam-girl alliance

was to ideally keep any of our
girl group out of the bottom,

but that didn't work.

Ciara was in the bottom.
I wasn't in the top.

So either it was
never in effect,

or it's not in effect anymore.

The girl group
has officially disbanded.

I want to vote mostly true.

Yeah.

But if I can nudge
the numbers

like all these other girls
are nudging the numbers...

- Thank you.
- You let me know.

- I will. We'll talk more.
- Okay.

I'm hearing Nini really root
for me in this moment,

and I know that she's open
to adjusting the vote

to make sure that we can keep
each other in this competition.

Hey, daughter.

You know what?

You're going to be in the
voting booth, so, yes, Mother.

Whatever you say.

Guys, I am the new mother
of the house.

I'll give you
the keys right now.

It must be a great feeling
being the winner

of last week's challenge.

- I was shitting my bricks.
- I know you were.

For no reason.

But I also had to fucking go
against the fucking--

- But you won. You won.
- I did.

- What are you mad about?
- I'm not mad.

So you're welcome.

It turned out perfect,
because I knew the outcome.

I made sure that Juicy and Mia
were going to be taken care of.

I made sure that I was going
to be taken care.

Like, I mommied the hell
out of this whole situation.

Everyone's got their
voter in place.

Like, we are all ready to go.
Just stick to the plan.

Okay, I need to finish
my makeup.

All right, next up,
next up, next.

Athena has some open slots
for her campaign...

- Her office hours.
- Next up.

For her stump speech, if
anybody wants to get in there.

Athena's going to fly everyone
who puts her first to Mykonos.

- First class.
- First class.

- Prosecco on ice.
- Prosecco on ice.

She'll take you
to the cruising beach.

Opa.

- Hi, sister.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- I'm good. How are you?

So Vita,
as my close sister, confirms

that Ciara wants me
in the bottom.

And I can't lie.

I am a little worried
for myself.

Well, if that is the case--
if that is the case...

please help me.

- I didn't think so.
- I promise you--

I didn't think so.

I don't ever want to be
in the bottom,

but this might be a week
where I fall there.

But, Ciara, girl, watch out.

You could put me up
for a Lip Sync for Your Life,

and I'm going to win.

Like, I'm going--
There's not a doubt in my mind.

Now wait a minute.

Where's me white liner?

Today group two
is going to perform

in the Rate-A-Queen
Talent Show,

and the girls

who we have previously rated
in the talent show

will become our jury today.

- Are you hoping for a win?
- Oh, yeah, I want this so bad.

- How bad do you want it?
- I want it so bad.

Do you have any cash?

No, that was going
somewhere else.

Yeah, I really do.

I have a really strong talent
number I'm really proud of.

For my talent, I'm doing

the Bride of Frankenstein
giving a striptease.

It's different. It's unique.
It's funny.

I wanted to really strip it
back to vaudevillian humor.

I bring the theatrical
experience into my drag

but still twist it
to the Meeks experience,

which has glamour and camp.

Will the queens voting
appreciate my talent?

God, I hope so.

Hey, squirrel friends.

Surprise!

Ooh, that's
a nasty heel, bitch.

Yes, ma'am.

Ladykins...

since I can't judge you
this week,

the least I could do
is check in.

- Yes!
- Yes!

First, I want to talk to the
queens who performed last week.

So, Ciara, Juicy, Nini, Vita,

Darlene, and Mia, come on over.

Yes.

Oh, I look nuts.

Hello.
all: Hi.

- Have a seat. Get comfy.
- Thank you.

Look at all you
half-baked kids.

So first I want to say congrats
to you two.

Thank you.

- You gave it.
- Thank you.

You really gave it.

Family that slays together...
- Stays together.

- Thank you.
- Yes.

- Ciara.
- Yes.

So you have to lip-sync
this week.

I do.

- How you feeling?
- I feel prepared.

Last week was
a very emotional week for me,

and it was a risk to do
something that was more serious

in a show where
we often love to laugh.

So I feel proud of the choice.

But with that, I also
understand the consequence.

Authentically you is
what I want you to be.

And it's not that it was bad.

Maybe it just wasn't
what your other sisters

were looking for
in the moment, right?

Yeah, and today my job is
to turn it out in a lip sync.

Yes.

Nini.
- Yes.

Your praying mantis,
I thought, was fantastic.

- Thank you.
- It was really, really good.

And, again, the Rate-A-Queen
is tough,

because I don't know
how you kids are playing it.

So you were really up there.

Did you feel strong
with your performance?

I felt really good about it.

I think the Florida vote

might have swung it
just a little bit.

Welcome to America.

The swing state of Florida
at it again,

electing the wrong people.

That's okay, that's okay.

See, like,
that's not necessary.

But one thing I did love
was, like, you're not going

to let her get away
with all the flips and tricks.

You were like, I can do
a back handspring walkout

in heels, too.

That was kind of cute.

I was kind of like,
okay, showing Miss Juicy.

Damn, maybe I made
the wrong choice,

and I should have performed
in week two,

and I could have had
a chance to win.

So it's your time
to rate this week.

- Yes.
- Yes.

How are you going
to approach it?

Enough with
the kumbaya shit.

Yeah, it's pretty simple.

The bitches
that we don't care for...

Ooh!

we're just going to immediately
put her in the box.

- Okay.
- Say their names.

- Do what you came to do.
- Yes, ma'am.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Go, go, go.
- Look stunning as well.

Thank you.

Now I'd like to speak to
the girls performing this week.

Myki, Athena, Kenya, Jane,

and Discord Addams,
come on over.

Hi.

I'm excited to see
your performances today.

Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.

Jane, now, you're one
in this group that has a win.

Yeah.

- Any pressure?
- For sure.

Every time I feel
like I'm in the top or I win,

it feels like the roller
coaster sort of clicking up.

Okay, so you got a little bit
of pressure on yourself.

Try not to catastrophize and
do what you came here to do.

These are the things
to keep in mind.

Is this elevated?

Am I doing too much?
Am I doing too little?

One tip that I can offer
to all of you--

it's quite devastating for me

when you get songs
ahead of time

and you don't learn the lyrics.

Drag queens' number-one job
is to lip-sync

and to know the words.

So, please, if I can give you
any advice--

You think that I'm not seeing
you say "watermelon" 50 times.

- Right.
- I know these old tricks.

Learn your lyrics.

Yeah, I'm looking
at you, Kenya.

Ooh.

Did she not know her words?

I didn't know that.

Learn your lyrics.

My heart drops
to my asshole.

She has ruffled my feathers.
She has rattled my snake.

What the fuck am I supposed
to do with that?

I can feel Kenya next to me.

Her butthole is so tight,

she's about to suck up
the stool she's sitting on.

- So you're having a good time?
- Yes, I'm having so much fun.

You are, Discord?

Yeah, I know
I look really intense.

You look like you're
going to kill somebody.

But, like, on the inside,
it's like lollipops.

Like, I'm having a great time.

Was my walk slightly
better yesterday?

Slightly.
You're getting there.

I'm trying really hard.

It's so funny, and we don't
want to take that away.

I'm stiff, and, like,
I'm trying to loosen up.

It almost feels like you're
walking with your shoulders

and your legs on the same leg--
a little toy soldier-y.

What was funny was,
that day that I got

all those lovely critiques
about my walk

was the same day that
I asked Ru in the Werk Room,

should I change it?

And Ru was like,
no, never change it.

Then I get
out of the Werk Room,

and y'all are like,
you know what you should do?

You should change that walk.

It's not change it.
It's loosen it up.

Yeah.

Start there and see
if anybody sees the difference.

Listen, my walk makes me
known to all the judges.

So, whether it sucks or not,
I feel like I'm winning.

So how do you all think
these other queens

are going to rate you?

Having the talent show
in the middle of the season

is a different dynamic.

We know each other now.
- Yep.

And we know what we're worth,

and we know
we're all sickening.

For me, I think it really
comes down to execution.

- So that's how you're judging?
- That's how I judged it, yes.

And I'm going to hope
that that's what they do, too.

Do personal relationships
come into it?

How could it not?

I mean, although
this is a competition...

It's hard not to have
a heart for the people

that you're coming up with.

And, of course,
I hate that feeling.

- Yeah, it sucks.
- I know.

Y'all actually have
a hard job.

It is hard,
so that's why I say,

if you're bringing something
that's been done before,

you had better elevate it.

Okay, kiddos.
both: Thank you.

Put on a show tonight.
I can't wait to see it.

Go get 'em.

We'll save a seat
for Jujubee.

Thank you, Michelle.
- Always. Bye, kids.

See you later.

No, I just need
to finish my makeup.

Okay. Well, I'm here for you
if you need it.

I'm just...

That was not cute for me.

I'm just...

I really let my nerves
get the best of me.

Just now?

No, just in everything
I've been doing here.

Yeah?

America,
drag is motherfucking hard.

Number one, you got a wig on.
Your balls are between there.

You're doing splits and
hair whips and boom kacks.

To remember the words
at the same time

and then doing this,
that, that,

make sure you're engaging
with the audience,

engaging with the judges
of "RuPaul's Drag Race,"

bitch, that is a lot.

Sometimes the words
will escape me.

She looked at Kenya and said,
know your words.

Uh-oh.

Yeah, Kenya,
what did that mean?

I really think I just--
the nerves got the best of me

when I was lip-syncing
against Briar,

although I was performing
very well.

Also, I have the problem of,

I'm so focused
putting on a show

that, girl, the words slip
for me a lot.

Bitch, and now I got to do a
talent-show number

where half of my talent
is lip-syncing.

And it's just like, if I go
up there and miss these words,

these girls are gonna,
like, vote me down.

All right, y'all,
we got two lip syncs today--

one for the win and one
for the bottom hos.

How we all feeling?
- Stressed.

I need to learn
my motherfucking words.

- Do you know your words?
- Girl!

How does the first verse go?

Ciara wants me in the bottom

because she thinks that she
can take me in a lip sync.

So my plan is to throw Ciara
off my trail a little bit.

I go stand
strategically close to Ciara

and mention...

How I've always been dancing

to Britney Spears
my whole life,

and she's always
been my pop diva.

Britney was always
my diva growing up.

Obviously, Amyl is my girl.
- Yeah.

But Britney
was my '90s girl, so...

- So you ready for either/or?
- Yeah.

Is this true?

Not necessarily, but she
doesn't need to know that.

Step that shit up,
because my popcorn is full.

Oh, my God.

I can't wait to see
how this turns out.

♪ Cover girl,
put the bass in your walk ♪

♪ Head to toe,
let your whole body talk ♪

Come on, snow queen.

♪ And what? ♪

She's sparkly.

Welcome to the main stage

of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

It's the multitalented
Michelle Visage.

And by "multitalented,"
you mean I have no gag reflex.

Exactly.

Thank you.

He's pretty, witty, and gay.

It's Ross Matthews.
- Mm-hmm.

Do you have a gag reflex?

Well, I used to,
but I lost it...

in prison.

Technically, it was
traffic school, but it's gone.

And our extra-special
guest judge--

from Amyl and The Sniffers,
Amy Taylor.

Welcome.

Ru, before you ask,
yes, I have a gag reflex,

but it's not in my throat.

Ooh!

Oh, you've probably got it

in the boot, right?

This week
we challenged our queens

to get it twisted,
as a new group performs

in the Rate-A-Queen
Talent Show, part two.

And tonight on the runway,

category is
Shake, Shake, Shake--

a look that moves when you do.

Racers, start your engines,

and may
the best drag queen win.

Category
is Shake, Shake, Shake.

Up first, Myki Meeks.

DIY-yi-yi.

This week, Myki Meeks
stars in party nauseous,

covered in 10,000 zip ties.

I got shaking on my tits,
shaking on my wrists,

shaking on my boots,

thigh-high zip-tie
couture, honey.

I know RuPaul is looking
at me, saying, zip it.

Her other job is a car wash.

Athena Dion.

Ooh.

You know, she's always been
a good pupil.

I'm very proud
of being Greek.

And in Greek, we say...

Which means
"you have 14 eyes."

Well, I have about 145 eyes
surrounding me,

because there's a bunch
of evil bitches looking at me.

I look like
a 1960s go-go alien.

But my eyes are definitely
on the prize.

You better cataract right.

Kenya Pleaser.

Starring in the remake
of "Cocoon."

These butterflies--

they're literally floating
off my body.

Asia O'Hara, trigger warning.

I have on my classic
Black-girl natural Afro hair,

and, bitch, it's all
about the face and the hands.

This is the most beautiful
I have looked

in this competition yet.

I hear she's got
a huge caterpillar.

Some girls do, but Jane Don't.

She might want
to rethink that.

Mm-hmm.

Now starring in Shakespeare's

"As You Like It in the Butt."

I feel so pretty
in this Galliano for Dior,

refracted into this very musketeer,

17th-century French moment,

trying to give these judges
the best little fashion walk

that my thick thighs
can summon.

Little Lord Fauntleroy
is a drag queen now.

Discord Addams.

Monopoly has really gotten
out of control.

This look is
a commentary on CEOs.

I have money
raining on my head,

blood all over my hands,

and I am wearing probably
20 pounds of jewelry,

because I want to feel
capitalism weighing me down.

I am able to be
in high-fashion beauty

and make
a political statement,

which is what drag
is all about.

Does anyone still wear
a bloody hat?

Mia Starr.

She's the widow of the mogul
who made billions

in the cassette-tape industry.

- I was going to say "VHS."
- Yeah.

You Beta work.

I am giving you
Blockbuster realness.

I have the cape made from
videotape of your old pornos.

Unfortunately, all the local
video stores closed down,

because guess what.

I'm wearing it, bitch.

She's got fringe
with benefits.

- Be kind.
- Yes.

Rewind.

- Wow.
- Darlene Mitchell.

Nobody knows that
Ronald McDonald had a sister.

He did.

In my mind, baby,
this is couture.

I am shaking and stomping
down this runway.

This is about 30 yards
of this gold tinsel.

This look
is absolutely bonkers.

I want you to be thinking,
what the hell was that?

Tins, tins, tinsel
across the board.

Vita VonTesse.

Evelyn "Champagne" King
is on tour, y'all.

I'm coming down this runway

looking like queen
of the night--

my reference
to Whitney Houston.

We got a rhinestone bob.

We have powerful
shoulder pads,

crystals all on my leotard.

I got a little
shake, shake, shake action

on those shoes, too,

which brings it
all together, honey.

These have always
brought me tuck.

Get that Bama buck.

Nini Coco.

How do you like your cocoa?
- Nini.

Now, if labia was like this,
I could get into it.

And out of it.

This look is avant garde
and, dare I say, conceptual.

I am having a great time
on the runway,

jumping around, spinning.

Every spin
reveals a new color.

This look is in your face.

It's bold, it's bright.
It is a work of art.

You know, those Teletubbies
need to stay off the mushrooms.

Juicy Love Dion.

- Come on, mohawk.
- That's a ho-hawk.

This is
a Bob Mackie reference.

But instead of using
ostrich feathers,

me and my designer decided
to use plastic shards.

I feel like
a gladiator-princess bird.

And guess what, baby.

I can walk a mile
in these Louboutins,

and I look sickening doing it.

Now starring in
"Mad Max: Beyond Glitter Dome."

- Ciara.
- She was a showgirl.

Her name was Ciara.

I am a theatrical diva.

I'm not always ooky-spooky.

And so it's nice to break out
my lovely legs

and give you
chorus-line leading lady.

I am shaking my hips
and my tee-tas,

so all of this fringe
is wiggling and wobbling.

And on my face, I've got
a smile plastered on,

because, baby, no matter
if you're up for elimination,

the show must go on.

Can I get a shake
with those thighs?

Mm-hmm.

Viva Reno, Nevada.

Welcome to part two

of the Rate-A-Queen
Talent Show.

Up first, it's alive--

the electrifying Myki Meeks.

- Yeah.
- Oh, no.

I really liked Myki's number,

but I also know
that we are sitting in a den

of pit vipers right now.

Up next, Greece is the word.

It's Athena Dion.

Y'all.

Welcome to Athena's Taverna.

Sit back, relax,
and let the ouzo flow.

I never thought that
I would make it this far

in this thing
that we call drag, Ru.

But I had big dreams, and
they're finally coming true.

See, I'm a pleaser.

But the real question is,
can you?

I like this idea,

but the performance
didn't really seem to land...

which I think
will help work in my favor.

Welcome, ladykins.

Tonight Rate-A-Queen rules
are still in effect.

There will be
no judges' critiques.

Instead,
the queens that watched

will rank
the performing queens,

from total top to bossy bottom.

So, while y'all
rate a queen backstage,

the judges and I will be
conjuring an apparition.

Oh, I'm sorry.
You may leave the stage.

Now, just between
us squirrel friends,

the queens
are rating each other.

But inquiring minds
still want to know--

what do you think?

Starting with Myki Meeks.

Let's talk
about the talent show.

I couldn't quite put
my finger on--

Remember when she
took her finger off?

- Yes.
- That was the best part.

That was so great.

I wish she would have gone
just a little further--

one more OMG moment.

I loved it
when she freed the nipple.

It was the hernia
I was worried about.

Is that how you got your
implants out, Michelle?

Yes. And on the runway,
I thought that was cute.

It was very club-kiddy.

I like the hair
she put with it.

Her paint was gorgeous.

So I thought Myki Meeks
had a pretty strong night.

Athena Dion.

Ru, was she or was
she not visually giving us

Greek Latoya Jackson?

She was giving us
Greek Latoya Jackson, yeah.

- So that excited me.
- I thought it was really fun.

Yogurt isn't the only thing

the Greeks
have done right tonight.

Well, she played
into her Greek heritage,

and it wasn't falafel.

It was good.

I didn't want it to be opa.

The runway I liked a lot.

That marriage
of camp and beautiful

is a really hard balance to
strike, and I think she did.

Keep your eyes on this one.

You're awful.

All right, Kenya Pleaser.
- Oh, I loved the butterflies.

I found it quite
relaxing, actually.

And I loved it
in the talent show

when she was gobbling balls.

Well, she was supposed to be
lip-syncing at that point.

Oh, yeah,
that might have been

a little cover for the words.

The song is called "Kenya."

And my question for Kenya is,
can you remember the lyrics?

It was just lackluster.

That is done every single night
in every bar.

She always brings
the personality,

but she needs to marry
the performance

with the charisma.

All right, Jane Don't.

Jane speaks
for so many of us

who have let the janitor
fuck them in the ass.

I was laughing
beginning to end.

Her shake, shake, shake
left me breathless.

That was so beautiful
in that mint green

with the kind of yellowish
green, which I hate normally.

It was my favorite look
tonight.

Everything was thought out,
as was her performance.

Just when you thought
she wasn't going to go there,

she does.

Thank God she went there, Ru.

Thank God
the janitor went there.

Yeah.

Discord Addams.

Her performance
was very catchy.

We're all sitting here
humming it.

I loved that part of it.

I loved that she leaned
into her punk rock.

She played the drums,
the keyboard, and the guitar.

What's the difference between
a drummer and a drum machine?

I don't know.
What?

Drum machine doesn't try
and fuck your mom.

I love the combination
of drag and punk.

I think it's a super-special
kind of melting pot.

So I was really happy
to see that.

The runway was a risk,

because if you're going
to wear a men's suit,

you really got to dragify it.

It wasn't my favorite
runway tonight,

but I think she did
what she could with it.

But I do want to
give her credit.

She's really trying hard
to change that walk.

Good for her.

- All right, I want to know...
- Uh-oh.

Your top two
and your bottom two.

My top is definitely
Jane Don't,

and I'm going
to say Myki Meeks.

Bottom two is Kenya Pleaser
and Athena,

because it just wasn't
as different as Discord's was.

My top two are
Jane Don't and Athena,

because I think the runway
pushed it over for me.

Mm-hmm.

My bottom two are
Kenya Pleaser,

and I'm going to put
Discord in the bottom,

because I wanted more from
a rock-and-roll performance.

Top two--
Jane Don't and Myki Meeks.

I thought they were both great.

Bottom two, Kenya Pleaser

and then, yeah,
Athena for the second.

All right.
Silence!

The queens are about
to make their decision.

Well, well, well...

It is our turn
to rate a queen.

And being in the bottom,
yeah, I'm happy to judge

some bitches this week.

Oh, this is a hard job.

I definitely would have swept
the competition this week.

I'm sorry, girls.
Feelings will probably be hurt.

Hmm.

In first position,
I will be placing Athena Dion.

That's my girl.

And I also have to go
back home with her.

So I'm going to keep
my promise, okay?

Oh, this is so hard.

Okay, I made a close pact
with my bitch.

So, in first position,

I am going to put
my girl Kenya Pleaser.

Athena, please don't kill me.

Unfortunately, Jane Don't
still is great at everything.

Condragulations.
You are in first position.

There's no point in
putting a top performer

at the very bottom,

because then I would have
to lip-sync against them.

That's silly.

In second position...

I'm going to place
Athena Dion.

Athena surprised me
with a few of the little gags

that she had embedded
in her number.

I think I want to do
Kenya Pleaser.

She just had an amazing energy
about her talent.

Third position.

I am going to put Myki Meeks.

Myki, you really impressed me.

Your runway was so amazing,
and you are my makeup sister.

both: Fourth position.
- Hmm.

Now is where it gets tricky.

Sisters, don't hate me.

In fourth...

Position, I will do
Miss Kenya Pleaser.

I feel like there was a little
bit of struggle with words,

and it is her own song.

In fourth position,
Discord Addams.

Although Discord and I had
an agreement,

I still don't feel
as if she placed high enough

for a first or second position.

In fifth position,
I will do Miss Myki Meeks.

I just wasn't as entertained.

And to be honest, I don't
really remember the runway.

In fifth position, I am going
to put Discord Addams.

When you find out, you're
probably going to slap me

on the back of my neck.

In fifth position, I will
be placing Kenya Pleaser.

Sister, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, we're in an alliance,
but, unfortunately,

I did notice she missed
a couple of words.

And Michelle has just told us,
make sure you know your words.

And that's the Teletubby tea.

And that is the tea.

- And that's...
- The tea.

And that is the tea.

Welcome back, ladies.

Based on
the Rate-A-Queen results,

your fellow queens
have made some decisions.

The top two queens
of the week are...

Jane Don't...

and...

Athena Dion.

Condragulations.
- Thank you.

The rest of you may step
to the back of the stage

and await your fate.

The Dion family
has been on top

both weeks
of the talent competition.

Was it an alliance,
or was it fair?

I don't know.
You tell me.

Two top queens
stand before me.

Prior to tonight,
you were asked to prepare

a lip-sync performance

of "Jerkin'"
by Amyl and The Sniffers.

Ladies, this is your chance
to impress me

and win a cash tip...

of $5,000.

Y'all bitches didn't pick me
for the Q-Pop girl group,

and right now I'm about
to lip-sync for the win

and show you
exactly who Athena Dion is.

I'm leaving nothing
on this stage.

Well, I'm leaving everything
on this stage right now.

The time has come...

For you to lip-sync...

for the win.

I feel pretty confident
lip-syncing against Athena.

She's at a bit
of a disadvantage here.

We're lip-syncing a punk song,

and she's dressed
as Donald Duck.

Good luck,

and don't fuck it up.

Queens,
I've made my decision.

Athena Dion...

condragulations,
you're a winner, baby.

I just won!

- Opa, opa!
- Oh, my God.

I'm the winner.

I lip-synced for the win,
and I won.

I won, I won, I won, I won.

- You've won a cash tip...
- Oh, my God.

Of $5,000.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Jane Don't, you are safe
to slay another day.

You may both step
to the back of the stage.

I'm a little surprised when
Athena's called the winner.

I think the most punk thing
about Athena

is the hole in her fishnets.

Now, will this week's
remaining queens

please step forward?

I don't know how
these girls voted, honey.

I know some people have
strategy, just like I did.

And I can't lie--
I'm very, very scared

of what my fate will be today.

Ladies, your fellow queens
have made some decisions.

Kenya Pleaser...

you are safe.

Thank you.

Oh, my God, thank God.

Discord Addams...

You are safe.

Damn.

Damn.

You may both join
the other girls.

Myki Meeks,

you've been rated
the bottom queen of the week.

Damn.

I'm sorry, my dear,
but that means that you

and Ciara are up
for elimination.

Assume the position.

This is not what I expected.

I was put in the bottom
by my fellow sisters,

so it's an extra layer of hurt.

Two queens stand before me.

Prior to tonight,
you were asked to prepare

a lip-sync performance

of "Toxic" by Britney Spears.

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.

Girl, it's every diva
for herself out here,

and I am ready
to put on a great show.

I'm here to stay.

I have nothing left to lose.

I'm facing
my biggest fear right now.

Ciara, you got
a big storm coming.

Let's do it, bitch.

Good luck,

Queens,
I've made my decision.

Myki Meeks, shantay, you stay.
- Oh, my God.

- You may join the other girls.
- Thank you.

At least I'm leaving
with all my teeth.

No, you're staying, hon.

No, I know, I know,
but I'm leaving with the teeth.

I'm going to go back there.

Ciara, you are

and will always be Myst.

Now sashay away.

This has been the most fun
sharing this with all of you.

And love every piece
of yourself always.

- Love you, girl.
- I love you, Ciara.

Oh, and since you girls
need a new vocal stim,

you can use this one.

Ooh, ah, ooh.

What?

- What's a vocal stamp?
- Stim, honey, stim.

Oh.

She would have killed
at a comedy challenge.

Girl.

Well...

this was just
the beginning, world.

I'm feeling very proud

of everything
that I brought here.

I wanted
to be a superhero growing up,

and Ciara Myst is
my not-so-secret identity,

and I want to be able
to use her

to make the world
a safer and better place.

Condragulations, queens.

And, remember,
if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell you going
to love somebody else?

Can I get an "amen" up in here?
all: Amen.

All right,
now let the music play.

Next time
on "RuPaul's Drag Race"...

Everything was very strategic
as far as how I went about it.

That sucks.

I'm Myki motherfucking Meeks.

And I'm about to prove
to these girls

you messed with the wrong one.

You need to produce
totally twisted political ads.

Proposition Kiki
grants queens

the right to be just friends,
not friends with benefits.

Aah!

Somebody just treat
my gonorrhea.

- Oh, what the fuck?
- Oh, shit.

The secrets are about
to be exposed, girlies.

Dun, dun, dun.
