Original subtitles

[upbeat music]

- We're back!

It's Season 16, and this time around,

we're doing things a little bit different.

[laughter]

[dramatic music]

- Cue the music, because the show is about to start!

[laughs]

Oh.

My name is Q, and I am the one and only

letter of the alphabet that you need to know from now on.

Q is an artist.

Q is a diva.

Q is beyond.

First one in feels correct.

Q is known for fashion, and everything is made by me.

I look good in this mirror too.

I will serve a look at every event that I'm at.

I walk in, and I'm the grandest person in the room--

always, guaranteed.

Oh, my gosh.

I've dreamt of this moment.

I don't know who's coming in after me.

But they better have some looks to turn,

because I just turned it.

I feel the presence of the Season 16 winner in this room.

[upbeat music]

- Yer!

The natural disaster has arrived.

My name is Xunami Muse.

[speaking Spanish]

[laughs]

Xunami always looks like she's stepped

straight out of a runway.

Anything that Xunami wears, it's always...[kisses]

Oh! Hello. - Hello. Hello.

- Wow.

I'm Xunami, Xunami Muse.

- Kandy-- - Muse.

- What? Muse.

- Yes, that's my drag mom.

Kandy is the aggressive muse and I'm the graceful muse.

She's more "ah," and I'm more...

You'll see. Watch.

Where are you from?

- I'm from Kansas City.

- I've been doing drag in New York.

I'm originally from Panama.

I am of African, Indigenous, and Hispanic descent.

That comes out through my drag a lot.

I'm like a great mix of Beyoncé and Celia Cruz.

[laughs]

- So what kind of drag do you do mostly?

- I am definitely a performer.

- Uh-huh.

- But I'm also a model. - Oh.

OK.

- Yes.

I'm signed with an agency in New York.

- Oh! She's a professional.

- [laughs]

I wonder what kind of other girls we're going to get.

- Oh, girl!

Hopefully some cute ones, like us.

- Hopefully no more TikTok people.

- Oh! - Oh!

- Don't be sleeping on them.

Some of them TikTokers be pulling the--the checks.

- Yeah, but then, you know, they can't perform.

- Ooh!

- [laughs]

[sensual music]

- Oh.

- Wait a second.

This place doesn't have a bidet.

I'm Amanda Tori Meating.

I'm blonde, glamorous, and selling it

for a very fair price on Hollywood Boulevard.

Amanda Tori Meating comes from all the times I've been called

into the boss's office, thinking,

"Fuck, I'm about to get fired."

But then I walk out with a big, fat promotion.

And they can put a ding right there.

Ding! [ding]

- Executive realness.

- Girl. Secretary.

- Right. - Hey, divas!

- Hi! - Hi!

- What's up?

- Yes.

- Hi, gorgeous.

- Amanda's look is interesting, for sure.

What kind of drag do you do?

- Good drag. - Ooh!

- Good drag. [laughter]

- I was going to be like, "You sure?" But I'm kidding.

[laughter] I'm kidding!

I'm kidding!

I can't help myself.

Listen, I've just been waiting so long to be here.

So I've got to take in the moment--

- OK, you got to take it all. - You know what I mean?

- Because you're not going to be here that long.

I'm just kidding. - Ah!

- Just kidding!

My drag style is bright colors,

dramatic shoulders.

There's an '80s influence.

I love drama in the outfit.

- She keeps looking back, like...

- She's like, who's next?

- Where's the next bitch?

- She's ready.

She's like, I'm tired of these cunts!

- Well, just--just you.

[laughter]

- Hola, muchachos!

- [speaking Spanish]

The beauty and the booty is here.

[speaking Spanish]

My name is Morphine Love Dion.

I am the Latina goddess of Miami, Florida--

the absolute perra,

and I'm here to heat things up.

- Show us the nails.

Show us the nails. OK.

[laughter]

Yes!

- My drag is all about the mug.

Makeup always has to be 100 mug, Iana Dupree.

And also showing off my ass as much as I possibly can.

- For a second I thought I was the body girl,

then she walked in.

- I am the body girl.

My voluptuous, juicy ass is 100% natural.

And by that I mean, BBL.

Oh, my God!

- You know what?

- Ah! Oh, my God.

Xunami Muse, she is actually one of my really good friends.

When I go to New York, we kiki really hard.

- This is my girl, OK.

- Girl, we go way back.

- Girl!

Morphine is a great performing artist

and she is always mugged, beautiful.

She is one to watch.

- What kind of drag do you do?

- I do it all. I'm a dancer.

- She's a great dancer.

- I'm a mug queen.

When you're at a Morphine Love show,

people are just absolutely enticed.

And they cannot get their eyes off of me because of all

this beauty, obviously.

Wait, who said they were the body?

Because girl...

- This one.

- Oh, OK. OK.

OK.

- Not--not the real body.

- Ah!

- I love the double-A cups, babe.

- Oh, thank you.

- So cut.

It's Season 16, and you're wearing a breastplate

and you see the neckline?

At least hide it with a necklace or something.

I mean, that's just me.

I don't judge, but I'm judging.

I'm really excited to be here.

I see top four right here.

- Oh! You know why?

- I'm just kidding. I don't.

Sorry, babe.

[laughter]

[evil laughter]

- Ooh.

[ghoulish moans]

- Girl, what the fuck? - I'm scared.

- [speaking Spanish]

[laughter]

[dramatic music]

- I think this place is haunted!

[laughter]

I'm Sapphira Cristál and I'm Philadelphia's crown jewel.

- Ooh!

You better slow-motion stop.

- Give it to us. - You better.

- My hair is big.

My drag is big.

More is more, and bigger is better.

Hello, gorgeous!

- Ah! - Ah!

- You spooked us out with that spooky number.

- Oh, yeah. Well--

- Are you a singer? - I am.

- She's an opera singer.

- I'm an opera singer.

- Oh, my God!

- I sing jazz. I sing opera.

I sing R&B. If it's singing, I can do it.

- Damn it! - [laughs]

My performance strengths are, I host, I sing, I dance,

I do comedy, I act.

What aren't my performance strengths?

That's a--that's a shorter list.

[laughs]

- She's going to be some tough competition, I see it.

- Me? - Yes, you.

- I--I am--

there is no competition.

[laughter]

Sapphira Cristál is a living, breathing, walking,

talking, moving miracle.

Check that.

[laughs]

[upbeat music]

- Ooh.

- I hope you trash bags are ready to lose.

- OK.

- [laughs]

My name is Mirage, and I am known

as the "Legs of Las Vegas."

I am feeling like a bad bitch, because

I just called everybody trash.

I hear the whispers.

- And I am choosing not to address them.

My drag is very, like, colorful.

It's kind of like a stripper who shops at Claire's.

- Oh, wow. - Yes, ma'am.

Ooh!

- I pull a lot of my inspiration from Vegas--

like feathers, and the stripper shoe,

and big, giant titties.

- Hi!

- How are you, guys? - Hi.

- Xunami. - Yes?

- Sickening. - Ooh!

- I follow you on Instagram. Think you're gorg.

- Do I follow you back? - I don't know.

[laughter]

- Morphine, girl, I follow you too.

- Really?

- Yes!

- I love the bracelets and everything.

- Thanks. I made them.

- You made the bracelets?

- It's giving eccentric, chaotic allure.

- I've heard chaotic more than once.

I'll take it. I'll take it.

[laughs]

- She is like if a Crayola box melted and you went...

on the--on the wall, bitch.

But she looks great.

[dramatic orchestral music]

[birds chirping]

- Rise and shine, motherfuckers.

It's Dawn.

- Ooh, she's got a potty mouth.

- I'm Dawn, and I'm the ethereal elf

goddess of Brooklyn.

Dawn is known for turning big looks.

Dawn is known for silhouettes.

Dawn is known for extravagant, never before seen.

I feel so pussy!

[laughter]

I make all my own clothes.

I style all my own wigs.

I design everything. How are you?

- How are you? - How are you?

I've followed you forever.

- Oh, I know. You too.

- This! [gasps]

- Stun. - It's so good.

- It's just some looks. [laughs]

- Subtle, simple.

I know that Q is an amazing seamstress.

I know that she is a designer.

And I know that she makes drag.

So I'm excited to go head-to-head with her.

Give me it.

Let's go!

Let's battle.

[siren blaring]

- Oh! - Whoo!

Whoo! - Girl.

- She done already done had herses.

- Already? What?

- Yeah. - Oh, my God. OK.

- Immediately when I hear the Rumail,

I'm like, oh, my God. Split the mirror.

- If you know the history of "Drag Race,"

if you have watched the show, Tamar,

you know what's happening right now.

- Hey, Ladykins.

- Whoo!

- It's Mama Ru.

And girl, I'm here to spill the tea.

- Yes.

- Stomp like a glamazon,

set your pussy on fire.

- Ooh!

- 'Cause queen, queer, butch, or femme,

the House of Love will always win.

[laughter]

- Yes, girl. - It will!

- Yes, bitch.

- Hello, hello, hello.

[all screaming]

Hi.

- I love the little outfit.

Giving train conductor.

- Yes, we're going to be pulling a train later.

[laughter]

- Whoo! Whoo!

- Oh, my God. Oh, HR.

Oh, my God.

My queens, welcome to "RuPaul's Drag Race,"

Season 16.

- Oh! - Wow!

[laughter]

- From this moment on, you will forever be one of my girls.

[laughter]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it,

is to spread your charisma, uniqueness,

nerve, and talent around the mother-tucking world.

[laughter]

- Yes.

- But you've already done that, haven't you?

[laughter]

- You know.

- Now, as the first seven queens to arrive,

I must warn you.

Several many twists, turns, tantrums...

- Ope. - And tiaras lie ahead.

But in the end, the winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race"

will receive a one-year supply

of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics--

- OK.

- Plus, a gag-worthy grand prize of $200,000,

served by Cash App.

[cheering]

- Yes!

- $200,000!

Whoo!

- Yes, bitch.

- Ladykins, are you ready for your close-up?

- Yes. - Uh-huh.

- I am.

- For your first photoshoot, you need

to sashay your way to my front porch, ring my bell...

[doorbell rings]

And pose the house down--

literally.

Oops!

Gotta run.

I'm expecting a big package.

Oh, pit crew!

[laughter]

- Bitch, I'm gagged!

I know it's not just going to be a photoshoot.

RuPaul has something up her sleeve for us.

- This is Season 16.

The competition has officially started.

Let the games begin.

[cheering]

- Yes!

- [singing] RuPaul's Drag Race.

Na-na-na-na-na.

RuPaul's Drag Race, may the best drag queen,

best drag queen win.

Best drag queen win.

[upbeat music]

[doorbell rings]

[speaking] Here comes trouble.

- The photoshoot mini challenge is about to start.

And bitch, I'm a little confused.

Very quaint.

I see no RuPaul. [laughs]

And I'm not liking that.

- Hey, Amanda, I'd invite you in,

but I just shampooed the carpets.

I'm just looking at you from the camera.

I'm looking at you right now.

- I know whatever camera they got on that front door,

it's not taking a pretty photo of me today.

- So why don't you hit some poses?

You can pose on my front porch.

Ooh, I love what you're wearing.

Why don't you sell that outfit?

Make me a satisfied customer.

Use those knockers.

- Oh!

I use these knockers all the time.

- I mean, the knocker on my door.

- Oh.

Listen.

[laughs]

I don't really consider myself much of a model.

[laughs]

But I definitely look sickening and slay.

So if the camera captures that, then I guess I'm a model.

- Come closer.

Closer.

- Is this close enough?

- Oh, oh, back up.

Back up, girl.

Say hello to the folks in the neighborhood for me, OK?

- OK. RuPaul said hello.

- Freeze!

- [screams] - Freeze!

- [screams] - Nobody move!

- Oh!

- I am making a citizen arrest.

- I know Love Connie.

And that dusty old bitch comes up to me out of nowhere.

Listen, this is my moment.

I want to have it!

- Lloyd, call the cops right now!

There is another white woman in this neighborhood.

- Now, you're Q. Is that right?

- That's right. That's right, ma'am.

- What does the Q stand for? Queef?

- Oh, no! [laughs]

- Why don't we have some picture time?

- You just hear Ru talking to you,

and it's just like, what do you want from me?

- Give us your best American Gothic.

- Trying to make sense of what he's saying,

but also be coy and--and look good.

- Point to the favorite part of your body.

[laughing]

Not in my backyard.

- Am I just doing anything?

- I'm looking at you, Xunami.

- Ah! Hi.

- Come up to the front door.

Let me get a good look at you.

Gorgeous.

- I know.

Listen, the first challenge being a photoshoot,

I have high hopes for myself.

I'm ready to pose the house down, boots!

Mother! [pops lips]

Ah, I don't know.

[laughs] Please don't use that.

[laughs]

How about I rake your leaves?

- Oh, that's nice.

So why don't you pose with the rake?

So it's Xunami, not Tsunami?

- Xunami, like the wave.

I mean, honestly, you got the $200,000,

so it can be whatever you want it to be.

- [laughs] This ain't no model home.

This is a supermodel home.

- Girl, that was fun.

I want to do it again.

- She's back!

- Girl, I cannot wait to get out of drag.

- I think it's exciting to see what

some of these little queens look like out of this geish.

- This is 40 inches of human hair.

- Ah!

- And maybe they're surprised by me.

I go from cunty to, like, this little egg.

[chicken squawks]

A cute little egg though.

You look so scary right now.

- What do you mean, dear?

- Like the Cryptkeeper!

- So you're familiar with my work?

- No.

[ding]

[laughter]

- You bitch!

[upbeat music]

- Oh.

Oh, who is this?

- To be honest, I was kind of hoping

I'd get dunked in a pool.

But making an ass out of myself on a front porch is fun too.

Excuse me!

I have bacon.

- What kind of bacon you got?

- Vegan.

- Bitch, you better get off my front porch.

- OK.

- I ain't studying no vegan bacon.

Are you vegan?

- I actually think we should let animals vote.

- And who do you think they would vote for?

- Not you.

- [laughing]

OK.

[laughing]

- I'm here to make Ru laugh. That's it.

- Pose with the hose.

Pose with the hose. Pose with the hose.

Oh, yes!

- Not my first time.

- No, it's not.

Oh, there goes the neighborhood.

- Lloyd, there's a clown on the front yard next door!

Ick! Get away from me!

Ick! - But what if I didn't?

- Get away from me, wildebeest! - But what if I didn't?

- Wildebeest! - [laughs]

- Wildebeest!

- Are you the morphine I ordered?

- [laughs] Yeah.

Right--right here, baby.

I'm--just got delivered.

- Prove to me you are morphine.

Pose the house down.

She's got nails and she knows how to use them.

With those nails on, do you think you

could sell me that lawn mower?

- Oh.

Uh, sold!

[laughs] Oh!

I'll take two.

- I'm going to do this way so you--so you see my ass.

- That doesn't look like padding.

- Because it's not.

- [laughs]

Look, you can blame Obama for that.

- You! You, stop!

- Oh!

- Right now-- I got the car started.

You were going to church at First Baptist.

- I don't like church.

- Church don't like you, you little heifer heathen!

Get in the car!

- Hey, lady.

Can you grab my mail for me?

Is my mail right down there on the front stoop right there?

- Yes. - Is it?

- Oh, yeah. Oh.

OK, I heard it was going to be a photoshoot,

and I'm thinking I got this in the bag.

This is not what I was expecting at all.

- Nice!

And that ass is holding them up.

- Thank God for my big, fat, juicy ass,

because these hula hoops would have hit the floor already.

- My neighbors are jealous right now.

- Oh, my God!

- Oh, oh, oh, OK.

Work it.

Sapphira, oh, you walking up here like a Jehovah's Witness.

- I'm here to share the good news that I am stunning!

Yes, honey.

That good front porch light.

- Yeah.

[laughs]

- Ooh!

Ain't nobody robbing you.

- [laughs]

I want to see you work this little sidewalk up in here.

- Work the sidewalk?

- Yeah.

Don't tell me you're a stranger

to working the sidewalk.

Oh! OK. Oh!

[laughs]

Peek-a-Ru, I see you!

- I'm Sapphira Cristál.

I will pose for any camera, honey.

It'll be a doorbell camera, video camera,

photograph camera.

If there's a camera around, I'm ready for it.

- Ru, I know you're in there.

Come out.

RuPaul, open up!

I know you're in there!

Are you coming out?

Because I got all day.

You know I ain't got no job.

Ms. Paul!

Ru!

- Whoo, girl.

- Oh, she's back. Ooh!

She's glistening!

- Photoshoot just ends, and I'm ready to get out of drag!

Oh, finally I can take this hot-ass thing off.

Now.

- We're all here now.

- We're here.

Everyone is also getting out of drag.

Oh! Hey, y'all.

- Excited to see what everybody looks like.

- This is a hot group of folk.

They're all so delicious.

[laughs]

- Bangs are not banging, but that's OK.

- Amanda, I'm shocked about what

she looks like out of drag.

Mainly because she has great bone

structure, which didn't really read

when she was wearing makeup.

[laughs]

Is it giving newborn child?

- You know the peanut butter baby?

[laughter]

- Not the peanut butter baby.

- Whose child is this?

- You're so tiny without your heels on--

- I know. I know.

- And your hair.

- I'm just a little guy.

I go from elf to twink.

Like, where's the confusion here?

- Is anyone scared of any challenge in particular?

- I mean, I'm kind of scared at the challenges that are,

like, things I know I'm good at.

- I'm just curious as to what you might think those things

that you're good at are. [laughter]

- Oh!

- Oh, my God.

- I think the other queens underestimate me.

I'm a studied actress.

I'm a dazzling singer.

I'm a high energy performer.

And I'll be laughing at them from the winner's circle.

- Hi!

- Hi! - Hello!

- My queens!

Y'all crazy.

- A little bit.

- But one of you porch pirates really stole the show.

The winner of today's mini challenge is...

Sapphira Cristál.

- Whoo! - Wow.

- Yes, baby!

[singing] I knew I was gonna win.

I sure did, I sure did.

- You've won a cash prize of $2,500.

- Whoa!

- Nice!

- Now, Ladykins, this week we are

paying tribute to a classic--

MTV's "Spring Break."

- Who forgot to say shantay?

- You better work, bitch.

[laughter]

I hereby crown you King of the Beach.

[laughter]

That's right.

I've been crowning winners since 1993.

[laughter]

- Oh, my God.

I wasn't even born.

- Wow.

[laughter]

- So for your first maxi challenge,

we are transforming the main stage into MTV's

"Spring Break" talent show.

- Whoo!

- And the best part?

It's not happening in Florida!

- Hey! - Yes!

- I am so excited to be a part of MTV's

"Spring Break" talent show.

I cannot believe that I get to be a part of this legacy.

- Racers, start your engines.

And may the best drag queen--

wait a minute! [bell tolls]

- Oh. - There's more.

- Oh. - [moans].

- I almost forgot.

[laughter]

In addition to a cash prize of $5,000,

the winner of this week's challenge

will also receive immunity.

- Ooh!

- Oh, my God!

- It's back?

- That's right!

Immunity is back.

[cheering]

- Oh, my God!

- We haven't had immunity since Season 5.

That is insane.

- Now, you can use immunity to save yourself

from a future elimination.

Now, racers, start your engines!

And may the best drag queen--

wait a minute!

- Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Wait a minute! - Hold up.

One last thing, I promise.

This week, I will not be judging you.

- What?

- Instead, you'll be judging each other.

- Ooh.

- Using a peer evaluation system

we're calling Rate-A-Queen.

More about that later.

- RuPaul is throwing more twists and turns

than the teacup ride at Disneyland, bitch.

- Racers, start your engines,

and may the best drag queen win!

- Are you kidding me?

- The twistery, girl.

- Bitch, we just met each other and now

we gotta rate each other?

This takes this to a whole 'nother level.

[dramatic music]

[upbeat music]

- Whoo!

Hey!

Hey!

- So it's a new day, and it is the first ever elimination

on "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 16,

and I am kind of shitting bricks.

Oh, my God.

I'm so nervous.

- OK, so how are we doing this Rate-A-Queen, mamas?

Like, what is the criterion?

- Who do I have to pay off?

[laughter]

- When it comes to this Rate-A-Queen,

there are many different ways

that the girls could go, right?

They could vote based on friendship.

They could vote based on strategy.

They could vote based on who loaned them

a rhinestone tank top for the runway.

- I've already been rating all the queens

since I got here, so. - OK.

[laughter]

So are you going to go by that judgment,

or by how we do tonight?

- Good is good.

- What if my good isn't your good?

- Good is good.

- Oh, wow. [laughs]

- She's going on personal feelings.

- Every single thing in my brain is just like,

what if they hate you? What if they don't like you?

What if you're in the bottom?

What if they put you in the bottom?

La, la, la, la--no one wants to be Porkchop'd.

- I'm sure your good is great.

- [laughs]

- Except for when it's not.

- It's failing scores for all of you.

- I'm about to judge every one of these people.

- I feel like these girls are going to be a little bit

shady with the rank-ifying.

They might try and stuff the ballot box.

- So who has been to the doctor?

- Oh, like, to have work?

I've gotten Botox before.

- Botox?

Where?

I don't see it.

The wrinkles are still there, honey.

She needs to get her money back,

because I don't know where it went.

- I might have gotten touched by an angel.

- Dr. BBL?

- Dr. BBL. - Show us your ass.

- [laughs]

- It's--it's not huge.

It's just, you know.

- Oh, yes.

- Morphine's like Arby's.

She do got the meats.

[laughs]

- She said it's not huge.

It's just-- - I want that!

- I mean.

- That's what I want!

- I'm the BBL queen.

But my ass looks like two... [speaking Spanish]

Next to Sapphira's ass, bitch.

That's all you?

That's all natural?

- This is all me.

I'm 100% Houston--

- Girl. - Texas.

- That's a whole truck, bitch.

- When that natural fat go what it do,

when it do what it do, baby...

- Ah!

[doorbell rings]

- The hell?

- Shut up.

- What is going on now?

Are the other seven coming in now?

- Do we have a door?

[laughs]

[doorbell rings]

- No one's home.

- Oh, hello!

Hello?

[all screaming]

Anybody here?

Hi!

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Charlize Theron here.

[screaming] - Holy shit!

- Oh, bitch! - Ah!

It's Aeon Flux!

- Hi.

- I am absolutely shook.

In walks our guest judge this week, Oscar-winning Charlize,

looking absolutely stunning.

And I have half my eyebrows on.

- I baked you all a little something.

Yes, I did.

These are Malva puddings from South Africa,

because I'm from South Africa.

They're a little bit like me.

Could be a little dry, but super sweet.

- Ah. [laughter]

- That's cute.

- And if Ru asks, I did bake them in my lovin' oven.

- Ah!

[laughter]

- An Oscar-winning actress made little fucking

cakes for us to eat, and I'm eating

every single one of them.

- Sorry, I'm just staring.

- Stare away, baby.

I mean.

- Look at this outfit!

- Yes, ma'am!

- Whoo!

- J'adore Dior in the house. - Whoo!

Whoo!

- All right!

- OK, so tell me. What's going on?

What are you guys doing? What's happening?

How are you feeling?

- I cannot wait for you to see the talent show.

- Yes! - Yes, absolutely.

- So that's the thing that's really interesting.

You guys have to be, like, triple threats.

I would be fucked.

[laughter]

Listen, I just wanted to say,

given the climate in our country right now,

there is a lot of energy being put towards

your community not existing.

I truly believe that all of that

is coming from a place of fear.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- The beauty of who you guys are,

what your community brings to all of us,

and the truth of who you are

and what you represent will come out.

- Yes!

- So don't give up.

- Thank you for speaking up for us.

- Thank you. - Always.

- Thank you.

- I love that Charlize came here.

She's using her platform to protect our rights.

It's very affirming, you know, as an artist

when our allies share the message of love

that we bring when we do this.

- So shine, be fabulous.

I'm going to leave you guys now, because I

know you have to work.

- Thank you.

- Can we keep these?

- You can have those.

- So yummy.

- OK, so three things I want to leave you with.

Good luck.

Don't fuck it up.

And, oh, pit crew?

- Whoo! - Damn!

- Oh, shit! - Yes.

So sorry. So sorry.

- Take her away.

- Bye.

- Oh!

- Oh, that's so fun!

Oh, I'm excited!

- That gave me the right amount of energy

right before the talent show.

[upbeat music]

- Who here is from a small town?

- Me.

So I live in Missouri now.

But I grew up in Kansas.

- OK.

- How was it growing up and being

queer in your small town?

- Honestly, I feel like it was worse for me

before I came out.

It's always like, are you gay? Are you gay?

Are you gay? Are you gay?

No, I like girls.

I promise.

[laughter]

- In middle school, I dated multiple girls

at once to try to hide the fact that I was queer.

I kind of have had to hide from my parents,

like, until this day kind of, sort of.

- Do they know you do drag? - They don't know.

- They don't know? - And I live with them.

- Wait, you live with them and they don't know you do drag?

- All my life, I lived like Hannah Montana.

Like-- - Whoa.

- Double. - Gag!

- I don't want America to be like, how did they not know?

But I never come home in drag.

I never leave the house in drag.

My parents have never seen me in drag.

It's very much the elephant in the room.

They suspect.

- But they don't want to talk about.

- Don't say shit about it?

- They don't want to talk about it, yeah.

- Oh, my goodness.

I think that's common where people, like,

they don't want to accept the fact,

so they just build some truth in their mind

that it doesn't exist.

- Do they know you're here, or no?

- I don't know how my parents are going to react to me being

here, you know, in the biggest television

series in the world.

I'm just ready to live my life and not

focus on the worry of my parents catching me anymore.

I'm ready to just be me.

- Oh, my God!

Are you telling me I talked to Charlize

like this the whole time?

- Yeah, girl.

[laughter]

- I'm excited.

Let's get fucking going!

- [laughing]

[singing] Cover girl, put the bass in your walk.

Head to toe, let your whole body talk.

- Whoo!

Yes, sherbet.

- Wow.

- Welcome to the main stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

It's my favorite monster, Michelle Visage.

Now, Michelle, you know

you're in the splash zone tonight, right?

- I've always thought of myself as more of a squirter.

- Ooh! - Ooh!

- From one atomic blonde to another,

it's Carson Kressley.

- Oh, here's a bombshell, Ru.

I'm only blond up here.

[laughter]

- I'm only blonde up here too.

I never thought about it.

[laughter]

- And the amazing Charlize Theron.

Welcome!

We are so happy you're here!

- I'm thrilled to be here.

- This week we challenged our queens

to let it all hang out at MTV's "Spring Break" talent show.

Racers, start your engines.

And may the best drag queen win.

Welcome to MTV's "Spring Break" talent show.

Here's our host, Derrick Barry!

- What?

- Hi, guys.

It's Britney, bitch.

Are y'all ready to see some talent?

- Yes!

- From Miami, Florida, here's a shot of Morphine Love Dion.

- [singing in Spanish]

Go, go, go, go, yeah.

Go, go, go, go, go.

- Yes, bitch.

- Go, go, go, go, go.

Go, go, go, go, go.

[singing in Spanish]

- What?

- Oh!

- Both of my parents are from Nicaragua,

full-blown Latina sangre, mi amor.

So I always try to incorporate my Latino Hispanic culture

in every aspect of my drag.

- Yes!

Yes, bitch!

- Hey!

- [laughs]

- Yes!

- Oh!

- Whoo!

[applause]

- Baby, I told you she was going to do it.

[applause]

- It's time for Amanda Tori Meating.

[knocks on door]

- Meating's in session.

[singing] I'm Amanda Tori Meating, the C-E-ho of S-E-X.

I want to introduce you to my best friend.

Oh.

She and I only just met.

We've got a pretty strong bond though, you see.

We both just love getting wet.

She's my kitty.

Meow.

My kitty.

Purr.

My kitty.

And I want to give her a scratch.

It's fun to meet her.

And then you'll greet her.

And then you'll give her everything she wants and--

[gasps]

Wait, girl.

Where's my kitty?

Have you seen my kitty?

Oh, God.

She was just here.

My kitty.

I can't find my kitty.

- I'm allergic to cats.

Ruff.

- Is it over here?

Is it over there?

Is it under that?

My kitty.

Or is it somewhere on the ground?

[cat screeches]

So the bus is still running.

[laughter]

- Oh, nice!

- Yes, bitch!

[applause]

- Honey, that performance, I ate.

I ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

- [laughs]

- It was cute.

It was OK.

It was eh.

[laughs] OK.

I wasn't really living. [cat meows]

- She is going to give us a freak show.

From Brooklyn, give it up for Dawn.

- 3, 2, 1.

- [laughs]

- Uh, Commander, I've got eyes on the crash site in LA.

And--oh, God, oh, no.

There's a creature in there, and it is

disturbingly, uncomfortably, horrifyingly

sexy!

[laughter]

[rapping] What did you think I was going to be?

Nasty, horrible, ugly, me?

Baby, no, I'm your favorite dream.

But it's true, it's real, it's dumb, it's me.

Boring isn't in my blood, so let's slip

into something fun.

Zebra, check, polka dot, cheetah print.

It makes me hot.

Herringbone and ocelot, and yeah, I know, I'm a lot.

Pattern mixing done right, overstating keeps it tight.

Change your worldview overnight.

And I'm putting up a fight.

I crashed right down here on your stage to show

you how I stay engaged.

And if you cannot clearly gauge,

we're only on the title page.

[speaking] Oh, I didn't even know those were in there.

[laughter]

Whee!

A Dawn performance is very out there.

I'm a little crazy.

I'm a little kooky.

But I'm always going to try to give it a story.

[rapping] Game change, sirens on.

Me, deranged, fingers long.

You've reached the valley of the Dawns.

[laughter and applause]

- I know that in this competition they love funny

and, you know, that sort of oddball out of the box.

And she is not disappointing.

- From Kansas City, she's always on point.

It's Q.

[light music]

- Huh.

- What the fuck?

[laughter]

- What the hell is that?

- Ah!

[laughs]

- [laughing]

- There is a very fashion side to my drag,

but also, like, very high, stupid camp to my drag.

[laughter]

I love to make people laugh.

I'm a performer at the end of the day.

[laughter]

[applause]

- Yes!

- I would definitely buy several tickets to the Q show.

- Welcome back to MTV's "Spring Break" talent show.

Give me more!

From Las Vegas, it's Mirage.

[upbeat music]

- You think I'm a bitch?

Well, you're not that wrong.

I put your man on a leash.

I put your man on a leash.

Because all men are dogs. [dog barks]

I'm kind of a bitch.

Yeah, the boys all know.

The boys all know.

Came to see ya, the queen of mean.

Maldita perra. [dog barks]

She's such a bitch.

What a bitch.

She's such a bitch.

I'm not that nice and I'm not your sis.

[cat screeches]

[laughter]

- Heel clacking?

Yes, ma'am. More, please.

- The queen of mean.

My drag performance style is a lot of floor work

and heel clacking.

And a lot of rolling around on the floor, of course.

The Swiffer of Las Vegas.

[rapping] Go ahead, get rude.

Call me a [bleep], I'll call you a dude.

Chill, I never put my hands on you.

I'll call up Anetra.

She'll chop you in two.

- Ah!

- Whoo!

[laughter]

She's such a bitch.

[laughter]

She's such a bitch.

Oh!

- [laughs] - Wow.

- Whoo! - Wow.

- Blowing in from New York City,

it's Xunami Muse!

- Oh, shit, I need a mop.

Oh, my God! Are we on "Drag Race"?

Is that RuPaul? Michelle?

Ah--wait, hold up.

A'ight.

[rapping] Hello, it's Xunami, NYC.

I'm the new body.

Yeah, I heard that's what they call me.

Put in work until they saw me.

Out here searching for a win.

If I lose, then it's a robbery.

Think it's time I do the race.

Talladega, Ricky Bobby.

Bitch, I will not be defeated.

Neither underestimated.

All these other queens were made.

I like to say I was created.

I'm so pussy, pussy.

I know these other bitches hate it.

I'm the baddest in the building.

And I cannot be debated, bitch.

Wet, you know this storm is coming.

I just might flood these hoes.

I'm looking like a winner

from my head to my toes.

Her pussy is on fire.

I came to water hoes, and that's just how it goes.

Xunami Muse.

- Work, bitch!

- Whoo!

- Yes.

- I think I expected a little more, based on her reputation.

Good job, girl.

- From Philadelphia, Soprano she better do,

it's Sapphira Cristál.

[dramatic orchestral music]

- [singing opera]

- [laughing]

- I don't think those are the actual lyrics to the song,

are they?

- [laughs]

[laughter]

[laughter]

[inhales sharply, exhales]

- Brava! [applause]

- Oh, yes!

- Whoo!

- Yes!

- Incredible.

Grand Dame diva.

- Why were you pointing at me when

you said "my beloved father"?

- You know why.

- [laughs]

- Thanks, Daddy.

- Sapphira, you are so smart mixing this comedy

with your singing talents.

I lived for it, but I also hated her for it.

- Another awesome spring break has come to an end.

Stay tuned for an all-new episode of "Pimp My Drag Mom."

- [laughs] - Bye y'all!

- Whoo!

- Yes, bitch!

[applause]

- [singing] Just a little something that I think I deserve.

[speaking] Category is RuVeal Yourself.

Up first, Morphine Love Dion.

- Ooh.

Greta Garbo and Monroe.

- Serving turban.

- I'm representing my city of Miami.

You know, the sun, the heat.

So I'm wearing this designer couture towel dress.

But you know what?

I have a little surprise.

I start spinning, and I show off

this beautiful bathing suit.

I'm showing my beautiful legs, and a lot of ass too.

Feeling like I am in Miami.

Swimsuit, Fashion Week, honey.

And I'm ready for a glass of Prosecco.

- Ooh, she's dry now, but I'm wet.

- [laughs]

Dawn.

Because if you stay Yeti--

both: You ain't got to get Yeti.

- [laughs]

- She's hoping to take a bite out of drag.

[laughter]

- Tonight I'm giving Bride of the Abominable Snowman.

My drag is the most pure embodiment

of my dreams, my creativity.

- Oh, look at that!

- Aw!

- So I wanted to bring some sort of monster creature

to the runway-- a little creature.

Arr! Arr!

- Barb went to Paris.

That's a "Troll" reference.

- Yes.

- Oh, she's very troll... - Yes.

- In a good way. - Yeah.

- Calling all staff, there's Amanda Tori Meating.

- Oh!

[laughter]

- Can I do that again?

Oh, my God!

You can't put that in.

- [laughing]

- [laughs] Whatever.

Leave it in.

I'm a hustler, baby.

I'm always gonna figure it the fuck out.

- What a doll--

voodoo doll.

[laughter]

- I got this cunty Leigh Bowery skin suit

that I unzip to reveal the purple alien

dominatrix cunt that lies beneath.

- Oh!

- Essentially, housewife to interplanetary hooker.

At an Amanda Tori Meating show, you will always

get tomfoolery, shenanigans, and an erection lasting

longer than four hours.

- What lies beneath?

A freak!

Xunami Muse.

- Oh, come on, Evelyn Champagne King.

- Runway is my thing.

My pride and joy is my walk.

- Oh! - OK.

- From the back.

- She likes it from the back.

- I have been practicing my walk since I was a kid.

So I try and incorporate that into my numbers.

That's very who Xunami is.

- Oh.

- Ooh.

This look goes from day, to dinner, to dungeon.

- OK. - Yes.

- Freak in the sheets.

[laughs]

- It's Q,

recreating "Snow White and the Cuntsman."

[laughter]

- My runway look is very extravagant.

There's just, like, an opulence

to the garments that I make.

The judges, they're living for my outfit

before I even reveal a surprise.

- [gasps]

- I do use a lot of my theater background in my drag.

And my design background helps with my attention to detail.

I just love to be that performer and serve a look.

- She's bugging out.

- Call me Moth-er.

- Well, we survived her runway.

But guys, she laid eggs!

- Ah!

- Mirage.

- How about them Dolphins, bro?

- Miami Dolphins could never.

- I'm giving you Mirage elevated.

It's glamorous.

It's sexy.

It's sparkling from head to toe,

and do I plan on revealing myself.

I love all the glam of, like, showgirl energy.

- Oh.

- OK.

- This outfit was 75% off.

[laughter]

She's trying to hypnotize us.

[laughter]

- God damn it.

I was going to wear that.

- [laughs] Sapphira Cristál.

We have nothing to Sapphira, but Sapphira herself.

- The grand dame has arrived, baby.

But guess what, baby.

I'm taking this upper coat off,

because I ain't hiding nothing up in here.

Whoo!

This playsuit, it's not no regular-degular

leotard, honey.

This thing is painted onto my body.

Oh, guess what.

Boom, baby!

Time to let the girls out.

Look at these titties. Shake them titties.

Shake them titties, titties, titties.

That's right, baby.

Sapphira is regal, but she's also a bad bitch.

- Now, Jumbo's Clown Room is two miles down the street

and take a left.

[laughs]

- Trend alert, bouncing boobs!

- That breastplate come from Baby Gap?

[laughter]

- Welcome, queens.

This week, your fate lies in the hands of your competitors.

The judges and I will provide critiques,

but then it will be up to you to rate your fellow queens.

Now, it's time for the judges' critiques.

Up first, Morphine Love Dion.

- Your talent's spectacular, it was a great performance.

It was dramatic.

I thought you just had so much charisma on stage.

- RuVeal Yourself,

I loved how you came out, very old Hollywood.

That moment with the towel was really cute.

But the reveal--

- We want to be gagged, OK?

I feel like when we saw the second look,

it was a little, like, off the rack for me.

- Listen, you are absolutely stunning,

and I completely disagree.

Absolutely spectacular reveal.

I was fully satisfied.

That ass?

Uh, I'm an ass girl.

I was seduced.

- I'm happy you guys like my ass.

It's au natural.

- Are you sure it's natural?

- Yeah!

I'm the BBL Queen in Miami, so.

- That means it's not natural.

That means you got it sucked out

and shoved in your ass.

- But it's--it's still my fat.

My fat from here that's here.

- Yeah it was just relocated.

- It's like the Witness Protection Program.

[laughter]

Up next, they call her Dawn.

- Let's talk about your "Valley of the Dawns" talent number.

It's like sparkle, Dawn, sparkle!

[laughs]

It's fun and you're fun to watch,

so I'm very, very drawn to you.

- You're super weird, super Brooklyn,

super "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

- And when you came out in this RuVeal look,

you have LBE--

Lucille Ball Energy.

[laughs] - Yes. Yes.

- OK, like, there's just-- there's kind of a--

a zaniness about you that is so endearing.

- I love the Barb look.

I love your makeup.

It's very well-blended.

I thought you were really fun to watch.

Really entertaining.

- [laughs] - Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Up next, we're calling Amanda Tori Meating.

[laughter]

- I had no idea that was her whole name.

Amanda Tori Meating?

That's hilarious.

I think I like her more now.

- Your reveal was so bizarre and extraterrestrial-like.

Your body looks amazing.

I think where you're going to struggle, Amanda, is makeup.

Your eyebrows need to be lifted.

Your eyes need to come out instead of bringing them in.

And for me, that hair's just way too small.

- But I think you're probably, like, a comedy queen.

Your original song, "My Kitty," super fun.

It was smart and it was sassy.

- Your timing on the lines and how you lip-synced it,

to me, that's really hard to do.

That's real comedy.

You're talented.

- Your level of energy on that stage,

it's like you're busting out of your body.

It was--it was a lot of fun. - Thank you. Thank you.

- Up next, from the House of Muse,

Xunami Muse.

- Hi!

- The talent spectacular, I thought it was

a really great beginning.

I thought that was so cute and clever,

that set up of, "Oh, my God, is this 'Drag Race'?

Is that Ru? Is that Michelle?"

- The only issue for me in that was,

like, you went from this really high energy

at the beginning of that song, and then it kind of

went flat and stayed flat.

You were basically just walking.

You need to amp it up and give it big.

So don't let the energy die on the stage, OK?

Your reveal I thought was cute.

You went from that fashion model

beginning into this little whore.

And we all loved that.

We all loved that.

You are a Muse, after all.

- And you have an amazing walk.

As somebody who has walked the J'adore walk

for a long time,

you got a really, really good walk.

You're gorgeous.

- That bang is so gorgeous.

You look like Nichelle Nichols,

who played Uhura in "Star Trek."

And that skin color is just delectable.

- Thank you, Ru.

- Up next, Q.

- That puppet show was so fun to watch.

The silly faces that you were pulling and you were doing

is what sold it.

We were transported to a different place.

And it was so funny.

We were cracking up.

- For your RuVeal Yourself number, I was like,

wait, who is that?

And I love that, because you have so much range.

- I was like, fuck me.

I wanted to wear that.

I was in "Snow White and the Huntsman."

- Who made this outfit?

- Me.

- What?

- Wow.

- Oh, my God.

- So I made this whole--all of it.

- [gasps] - It's spectacular.

It is--

- It's amazing.

- It is ready for Broadway.

It's ready for a Las Vegas stage.

- I'm very, very grateful.

I've waited so long for this moment.

And people don't realize, you know, how many nights,

like, I stay up to--to put out this level of craftsmanship.

- "Snow White and the Craftsmanship."

[laughter]

- Oh.

- Thank you so much.

Up next, Mirage.

- Your RuVeal Yourself was fun, because it really was, like,

a glamorous burrito for me.

[laughs]

And then, you know, it's very Vegas, which we live for.

The titties were ridiculous.

- [laughs]

- Your talent show to me was fucking great.

That reverse death drop that just slid right down

super elegantly?

Girl, I was there for it.

- The whoreography?

Like, that strip club dancing--

when you made the heels go clack,

that's a signature move.

- I knew a stripper at Jumbo's Clown Room who would do that.

And we would go just to see her click clack

those stripper heels.

I wrote a song about it called "Click Clack"

based on watching her.

- I think you're dynamic.

I think you're fun to watch.

But here's the thing about you.

You're a little bit messy.

You need to clean it up a little bit.

Because I feel like if we let you

perform that number three times,

every time, it would be different.

So I want you to think a little bit about having a beginning,

a middle, and an end.

- Up next, Sapphira.

- When you came out here in RuVeal Yourself,

that first look was gorgeous.

Couldn't stand the second one.

The third one, which was this,

the beautiful kind of old Hollywood playsuit.

And I love that you ripped it off

and of course had the titties out.

The titties were kind of close together.

I feel like you can use a size up.

They look like, you know, Fisher Price "My First Boobs."

[laughter]

A little bit.

- Right.

Baby's first breastplate.

- Yeah.

- I thought your talent number--

I mean, you're singing live, which is a big risk.

Your voice is incredible.

- In the beginning, I didn't think that was you.

Like, I thought it was like a recording.

Yeah, beautiful voice.

- And then you combine it with that foil of the comedy,

it's hysterical.

- And then, of course, you called Ru

your "beloved father."

[laughter]

- Tonight, your performance was exquisite.

My favorite thing, though,

is that you are a motherfucking slew-foot.

You are a slew-motherfucking-foot.

- I got hip dysplasia.

[laughter]

- You look like one of them Charleses, honey.

Child, I know that slew-foot.

[laughter]

Thank you, ladies.

I think you've heard enough from us.

So while you Rate-A-Queen, the judges and I

will call our bookies.

You may leave the stage.

[suspenseful music]

- [sighs]

My God.

This is so nerve-racking!

- I don't know how I feel about the Rate-A-Queen yet.

I'm a little skeptical.

You don't know if the girls want to be strategic

or if they want to be petty.

Who knows?

- My decisions are all going to be strategic.

Because this is a game.

You got to play the game.

- I think I'm going to base my decision on

who makes me laugh the most.

That's, like, one of my favorite things

about watching drag.

- This is going to be interesting.

- Ooh. All right. Let's do this.

- In first position, obviously, I'm going to put Sapphira.

She embodies the same over-the-topness as I do.

- In first position, I'm going to put Miss Q.

And I gagging for her look?

Well, I actually didn't like her runway

as much as everyone else did, so we can

move her to second position.

both: In first position--

- I'm going to put Q, because she made me laugh the most.

- In second position, I choose Dawn.

Her runway got me.

Her talent was good.

- In second--

- Position, I put Sapphira Cristál.

- In third position, um--

and then is where it gets hard.

- Fourth position is going to go

to my girl Xunami.

I'm sorry.

I ride or die for my girl,

and I need to make sure she is safe.

I'm trying to save your life right now.

I love you.

- In fifth position, I'm going to put

Amanda Tori Meating.

She had a killer talent show.

I think her runway just was rotten.

[laughs]

- And unfortunately, in sixth,

I'm going to have to put Xunami.

I don't like that,

but the outfit was a bit pedestrian.

both: And in sixth position--

- I'm going to put Amanda Tori Meating

for obvious reasons.

Oh, my God.

That runway told me everything about her.

Uh...

the fuck is that, honey?

- In sixth position, I'm going to put Xunami Muse.

I don't think her runway was strong enough

to make up for her talent show.

And that's the tea.

- And that is the tea.

- And that's-- - The tea.

both: And that's the tea.

- And that's the motherfucking tea.

- Welcome back, queens.

You have made some decisions.

[dramatic music]

This week, we're having a top two.

The top two queens will lip-synch

for the win and immunity.

Based on the Rate-A-Queen results,

the top two queens of the week are...

Sapphira Cristál... - Yes.

- And Q.

[applause]

And that's not all.

This week, no one is going home.

- What?

- Thank God.

I am glad to live another day.

- A weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Well, not really, because I'm sickening.

What weight?

There was never any weight to begin with.

I feel like the other girls have

a weight lifted off their shoulders

because nobody's going home.

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

- Tear it up.

- Two queens stand before me.

This is your chance to impress me,

win a cash tip of $5,000,

and earn immunity from a future elimination.

The time has come

for you to lip-synch

for the win.

[dramatic music]

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

- [rapping] Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka.

Yaka, release ya wiggle.

Release ya anger, release ya mind.

Release ya job, release the time.

Release ya trade.

Release the stress.

Release the love, forget the rest.

- [singing] Now, I just fell in love.

And I just quit my job.

I'm going to find new drive.

Damn near worked me so damn hard.

Work by nine, then off past five.

And they work my nerves, that's why

I cannot sleep at night.

I'm looking for motivation.

I'm looking for new foundation, yeah.

- Come on, Q!

- Taking my new salvation.

I'm a build my own foundation, yeah.

Oh, baby, baby, now.

- Oh!

- You won't break my soul.

- Ah!
