Original subtitles

Lashauwn Beyond: This is not RuPaul's Best Friend Race.

Laganja Estranja: I feel very attacked!

Vanjie: I was trying to reach closure with you!

Silky: If I would've lip synced for my life today, bitch,

I was ready to do so!

RuPaul: This is Untucked, backstage at the competition

to become America's next drag superstar.

Girl, if you're not watching Untucked,

you're only getting half the story.

Director: Break on the main stage.

All cameras re-po.

RuPaul: Sherry Pie,

Jaida Essence Hall.

The Widow Von'Du.

You will live to tell.

You're safe.

You may leave the stage.

Bitch, I'm safe, and I'm glad about it.

You always strive to be the winner or to be the best,

but choreography is not my strong suit,

so I am really proud of what I've done.

Bitch, she did something right.

In my personal opinion,

I feel like I was but one person away

from being in the top three.

So I'm riding on high spirits,

but I am over being safe.graphic

-And speeding. -Marker.

All cameras up. Queens walking.

Queens are walking.

Ooh, child!

Yes, bitch.

It's a holiday!

It is a holi-gay, honey.

Ooh, holi-gay.

I'm gonna take my shoes off.

Mm.

Okay, so look, I'm just glad,

because at rehearsal, I was nervous, honey.

I have never wanted to be safe...

-So bad. -So badly, yeah.

I'm not no singer, bitch, and I struggle with choreography.

And bitch, then we just--

last week just had got past the motherfucking Snatch Game.

Girl, these are two of the challenges

that are the most difficult on the show.

-Girl. -I know last week

you had an issue with some of the girls

who had a lot to say about the Snatch Game not going well.

This is a challenge

that we all had the most time to prepare for.

We have known that this is coming.

Be prepared for it.

But sometimes in the fucking moment,

you can't be prepared.

What you thinking about right now?

I mean, I'm safe.

It happened last week.

I'm not gonna kick Jackie while she's down

as much as I would like to.

But I'm not wearing my shitkickers.

Oh. Like, okay, bitch.

Widow was really upset last week

because she feels like Jackie and I were attacking everybody

about not being prepared for Snatch Game.

She was mad, so she felt she needed to go on the rampage

and come after us.

Me saying that I'm sorry for what I said

and the way I said it, that means nothing to you?

You're like, "Well, then, screw you.

I hope you fall in the next challenge?"

This ain't RuPaul's Best Friend Race.

At the end of the goddamn day, it's me, myself, and I.

Do you feel any remorse

for saying you, like, hope that we fall?

How I meant it was I hope that you feel the same,

like, way that you made me feel when you came into the room.

Like, I was already beating myself up.

Yeah.

And I'm like, well, fuck it.

I can be the Widow Von'Du from Kansas City

that just doesn't talk to people.

Right now, I'm super defensive

because I allowed myself to have feelings here,

and thank you for reminding me

that I don't need them in this competition.

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

I am the Widow Von'Du, that bitch from Kansas City.

If that's what you want, that's what you gonna get.

I will be kosher with these bitches when needs be,

but other than that, we ain't gots to be friends.

You were safe, right?

-Mm-hmm. -Last week?

So if you were feeling down on your performance,

that's you feeling down on your performance.

That's you. That's you.

At the end of the day, you were safe.

But I think Jackie's comment

was more towards the girls who were in the bottom.

What? Child, uh-uh.

The main thing was

was somebody was trying to, like, lecture you.

It was more like a, well, why weren't you bitches prepared,

and why were you not ready?

I mean, I wouldn't say it,

because, bitch, I've been in the bottom that one time, bitch.

But it's like, if you can give it out to somebody,

don't be surprised if somebody gave it back to you.

[slurps]

Okay.

Do you feel--

I mean, because I was part of that group.

Mm-hmm.end act here

Do you feel any feelings--attach

Towards you?

I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I did think about it.

I did think about saying,

well, girl, did you prepare for the dance challenge?

But if we gonna be cool,

then just don't kick a bitch in the balls

when they're already sore.

Ooh.

Like, I don't like to throw stones at glass houses.

[slurps]

How are you feeling being just safe in a dancing challenge?

It's kind of... I was hoping for more,

at least one of the top three.

Like, because dancing is pretty much all I do,

so I really wanted it.

But I take my gifts as I get them, so...

-[laughs] -Girl.

RuPaul: Well, thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.

While you untuck backstage,

the judges and I will be voguing.

You may leave the stage.graphic

Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo!

-Hey, hey! -Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo.

-Ooh, I need a blanket. -Hi, ladies.

How you feeling, bitch?

Finally in the top, everybody.

Werk.

So what's happening? What's T?

I see a smile.

I'm very excited, just because--

Just because!

[all laugh]

Y'all know she has been trying to get in the top,

and she's been trying to get critiqued,

and they had all great things to say.

So what did--what happened?

They said that they liked everything about my look

except the earrings.

But they said they could tell

that I fucked up on my choreography,

which I did, and I got in my head again.

And it's just I'm having a hard time.

Bitch.

It's just hard because I bring so many people joy,

but, like, I'm not happy inside.

It just sucks being in the bottom so many times.

I just keep on, like, failing,

which sucks.

Brita, let me say this.

They don't think you're a failure.

They said how hard it was to judge this.

Yeah, you're not failing.

Do you know how hard it is to fuck up choreography

and still make all of them out there feel good inside?

Your energy is something that you have

and no one can ever take that away from you, B.

Thank you.

It's so sad to see your friend,

who you care about and who you believe in,

have so many doubts.

But I know Brita.

She's not a quitter. She is gonna fight.

And I know Brita's gonna be able to rebound from this.

I have no doubts.

Heidi, I was very surprised. Very surprised.

What critiques did you get?

It's just, you know, more of the same.

It's the look.

But it was nitpicky, very nitpicky.

It's just hard, because I'm just not what they're looking for.

Heidi, they love you.

You can love all you want somebody,

but if they're not what you're looking for,

it's not what they're looking for.

The only critique of your performance

was just that it wasn't really Madonna.

But they loved you so much that it didn't matter.

But then they praised Crystal for not being Madonna,

for being Crystal in her performance.

But I think where they praised Crystal

was that she brought herself out through Madonna.

Because your personality is so vibrant and it's so apparent,

I feel like when they don't see it,

it's something that they take stock of.

I think you did great.

I'm feeling a little guilty

just for everything that went down with me and Heidi.

You're a sickening performer,

but the judges have told you week after week

that you have to improve on your face.

Sure, at the end of the day it is me, myself, and I.

But I also don't want anybody to feel less than

because of something that somebody else said.

That's just not right.act ends here

I don't know why you're so upset, because honestly,pick up

based on the critiques,

I think it's me and Brita against each other.

Lies.

I'm the umpire. I'm calling out lies.

I think it's even playing field.

I can see it going any way.

Also, Heidi, I will say your makeup is beautiful tonight.

They didn't notice, so, you know--

But they didn't call it out.

Yeah.

I worked hard.

A lot of the girls have given me really good feedback,

and I can hear them.

But it's hard to set all those doubts and fears

that you've had for such a long time aside.

I'm trying to push past all of it,

but that's not their struggle, it's my struggle.

I'm gonna say congratulations, because she won the challenge.

-I think Jan-- -Did you win?

-I think Jan won. -No, but she's going to.

♪ Ahh ♪

I need you to dance the house down

in these titties back home, sis.

Girl, could you imagine, just--

Do it, do it, do it! Like, grah, grah, grah, grah.

-That's right! -That looks exhausting.

Girl, I'm gonna have a broken nose.

Yeah. [all laugh]

Hello!

[all scream]

Hi!

Oh, my God, AOC!

Hi, everyone. How are you?

Oh, my gosh, AOC is in Untucked!

-You are amazing. -No, you all are amazing.

-Wow. Hi. -Who do I hug first?

Girl.

Welcome to Untucked!

I'm gagged. I'm gagged.

We're gagged! We are so gagged!

How did you enjoy the Madonna performance? Like--

Oh, my. Okay, I'm a huge Drag Race fan.

I think this was the best Rusical out of all of them.

[cheering]

No B.S. [all laugh]

So what's it like for you being on RuPaul's Drag Race?

It is--I mean, this is truly a dream come true.

I mean, last year, I was bartending in a restaurant.

That was my life last February,

and every night I would come home,

and the only thing that would help me disconnect and unplug

was watching Drag Race.

That was the thing that I did every single night.

And to be in this moment is just so humbling and amazing,

and I'm just trying to drink it up the way you all are.

This is so crazy,

that, like, somebody so important in this country

would take the time out of their life to come here.

Not only you being here,

but to hear that you love and appreciate what we do,

and that it helps effect change throughout the universe.

And, like, hearing that from you,

who is so, you know, amazingly powerful

and impactful to our society right now, I'm so appreciative.

I know everybody here is, too, so thank you.

-We're gagged. -Yeah.

Like, we are literally gagged that you're sitting right here.

It's really exciting to meet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

This is such a huge honor,

because she's stood down the very same racism

that my mom has encountered

her whole time living in this country.

It means a lot to me

that there's representatives like AOC in Congress today.

I see you standing up to that man every day,

and...

How can we all even, like, complain about anything

when you literally stand in the face

of what I think is the most...

Evil.

The worst parts of our nature as humans.

And you stand up against him, and you say, "No."

That's so hard.

You know, but we all do it in our own way.

People think Congress and government

is all about leading people, but ultimately,

a lot of our politics is about following the public will.

And the people who change what people think

are artists and drag queens,

and let's not forget who threw that first brick at Stonewall.

-Yes! -You know.

That is what led to us passing the Equality Act

in the House in this term, marriage equality.

It starts with you.

I mean, you're patriots.

You are. You are.

You are patriots, and I'm so proud of you all.act might end here

I'm so proud to live in this country with you

and with your mother and with all of us as family.

Oh, girl.

Oh, my God.

I know it's hard

hearing those critiques whenever you get them,

but each and every one of you are here

because you have such a unique characteristic

that only belongs to you, that no one else has.

And just know that, that that's forever what makes you special.

Thank you.

-We love you. -Ooh.

I'm gonna give her a toot right now.

[all laugh] Toot!

Thank you! Thank you!

Go away! Go away!

Queens, I gotta take the Congresswoman.

-Oh! -Oh!

Thank you so much for being here.

-Yeah, I need a hug. -You have five minutes.

-Thank you so much. -Thank you.

Aah! Bitch!

Thank you, Five.

Bye!

I am gagging!

Oh, my God.

I love you very much.

I love you, too.

Kill it, please.

If you do--

Yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

I'm, like, truly shivering inside,

but, like, I'm gonna have to work above 100% now

just to, like, regain myself.

But, listen, I am strong and committed

and I'm here to slay.

I am lost for words.

I'm feeling determined.

It's time to kick it into high gear,

because I wanna prove

that a small-town queen to win this competition.

And if I have to lip sync,

I'll lip sync my motherfucking ass off and keep it pumping.

Because I want to be the next drag superstar.

I cannot go home.

-Oh! -Oh!

Let's go. Gotta go to the runway.

Let's do it. This way.

Just knocking shit down.

-Let's go. -Anybody got a napkin?

I'll clean that up when I come back. My bad.graphic

RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.

Brita and Heidi,

the time has come

to lip sync

for your life.

Heidi, shantay you stay.

[exhales]

Brita, thank you for the joy you bring to everything you do.

Now sashay away.

[applause]

I was so in my head this entire competition.

I get in my head and I start to freak out,

and then everything goes crazy.

Like, I automatically turn into She-Hulk.

I'm perfectly capable of slaying it,

but I am my own worst enemy.

[exhales]

Oh. All these notes.

Jan. "I don't know where to begin.

"From my beginning of drag,

"you've always been my biggest cheerleader.

"Your presence will forever be appreciated.

"You are sickening and you are stunning

"and you are the joy for me and for everyone else.

"You will always be my favorite.

I love you. Love, Jan."

[laughs]

Yes, sis, I got you.

I wish I could be here with my sisters,

but I got in my way too much,

and I shouldn't have gotten in my own way.

I worked so hard,

and I think I'm gonna take some time to myself

to, like, refocus and reenergize

so that I can really show 'em what I got.

I like her. She's gonna go down in herstory.

There's a big thing that I learned being here,

that you only have a certain amount of time,

so, like, you gotta leave ego outside of this.

I don't care how you're feeling.

Like, truly, you gotta leave your feelings at the door, sis.

Gonna get hungry. [chuckles]

See you later, werkroom.

You Brita werk!

I've always just wanted to spread so much joy to people.

And maybe I was shady at times, but, you know,

it's time to show the real Brita that I know.

That's it.

And don't forget my name. It's Brita, bitch.

I had a lot of fun, sis.

Aow, you Brita werk! Ha-ha!
