[RuPaul] Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race...

You'll be competing in the first ever Draglympics.

[cheers and applause]

[music plays]

♪ Because I'm what? ♪

♪ Sickening, bitch ♪

[Yvie Oddly] During the dancing,

I slipped a little bit and hurt my ankle.

[RuPaul] The winning team is...

Team A'Keria. [cheers and applause]

A'Keria, you're the winner of this week's Maxi Challenge.

[cheers and applause]

[RuPaul] Ra'Jah O'Hara.

Performance wise, you still need to take it up.

[RuPaul] Scarlet Envy.

You were like gone for me.

[RuPaul] Scarlet, who should go home tonight?

Ra'Jah's been in the bottom a lot.

Ra'Jah O'Hara, shantay you stay.

Scarlet Envy, sashay away.

[chuckles]

[Ra'Jah] Whoo.

Child.

-Oh. -What did she say?

[Ra'Jah] I really feel like we shouldn't read it.

Oh, girl.

[Ra'Jah] Scarlet, it was just your time, girl.

Scarlet was just another one of those girls

that just relies on being beautiful.

The girl was all about herself.

Like, somebody else read this message,

'cause whatever she got to say, whatever.

Bye, bitch.

But nevertheless,

it says "meet you on the late night dance floor.

Xoxo Scarlet."

We love you, too, Scarlet.

Love you, Scarlet.

But nevertheless, she's taken up enough mirror space.

[all laugh]

Damn!

Girl, the blood is still in the water.

I will say this, though.

Everyone read that girl to filth,

and she never let it bother her.

That's what I'm saying.

She might have been too focused on herself.

Bitch, Scarlet is still in the parking lot

jumping in the van, and Miss Ra'Jah

is still reading the dog shit out of her.

Girl!

Scarlet, don't watch this part of the episode.

Don't watch this part.

Scarlet, turn the TV off now.

[Ra'Jah] The confidence was very high,

but at some point, you gotta humble yourself

and take some of it and grow from it.

[all laugh]

[Vanjie] Congrats, bitch. You won a dancing challenge.

[cheers]

[A'Keria] All right, Miss A'Keria, girl,

you got something now. Keep it going.

I was really, really happy with my critiques this week.

They said I stepped up my game

in the personality department, thank God.

I know that my look will be safe no matter what.

So now I can do whatever the fuck I want.

Miss Plastique.

This bitch has worn a corset

every time she's hit that runway,

and receives no critiques about it.

You should just call her Viola Davis.

That bitch know how to get away with murder.

I don't gotta hold shit back.

It's the top nine now. You gotta give 200%.

[Silky Nutmeg Ganache] Whatever. She'll be gone soon.

When they were talking to you, I was talking to myself

like, bitch, because a lot of times

people can get in your head.

It's like ar, ar, ar-- you know.

You seemed pretty salty

about Scarlet calling you out on the runway.

[Ra'Jah] I did feel some type of way about it

just because, like, you know,

if you know you're the weakest, admit that shit.

Bitch, you knew you weren't the Tee.

It was kind of like, really?

You're going to throw me under the bus?

But I already knew that bus was coming,

and I was ready.

[Nina West] It is very clear

that Ra'Jah is allowing herself to be her greatest saboteur.

[Brooke Lynn] The pressure, you can see, is getting to her.

She's already lip synced twice.

She just kind of has these meltdowns.

It might be her turn to go.

You know what? Make every moment count.

And if you can't make that moment count

with what you got and what you brought,

then lip sync for your motherfucking life.

Bye, bitch.

And hopefully turn that shit out.

-Hey. -Hey, my sister.

'Cause if you stay ready...

You ain't got to get it.

-Bitch! -Bitch, that's it.

[Ra'Jah] I feel like the target on my back

is the fact that I've been in the bottom.

But I'm feeling very vindicated

and I'm feeling like the lip sync assassin has struck again.

Honestly. I do feel like

it's some girls that are flying under the radar.

Like Miss Shuga, where you at?

My girl Plastique, she's relying on her looks to get her saved.

-I love you. -I love you. Mwah.

Nina, what's the Tee, girl?

How you feeling? Empowered?

Bitch, you are one of the oldest bitches here.

Why are you always needing approval?

The fuck?

We need y'all gone, because...

Y'all are taking up space.

[chuckles]

-Hurry up. -Fuck, bitch.

-Slowest entrance ever. -Ever.

Enter the Crip walk in honor of Miss Thing.

Crip walk, Crip walkin'.

That's a hopscotch walk.

It's a new day in the workroom.

Despite the fact that my body is still not at 100%,

I'm ready to tackle whatever Ru throws at us

as long as we're not running. [laughs]

I got a question.

[All] Oh!

This is a sensible question.

You know there's been 126 ho's

in the royalty of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Do y'all get compared to any of the 126 ho's?

I get compared often to Latrice Royale.

They call me Baby Latrice.

I painted like Miss Fame for a while.

I get compared to Naomi Smalls until people see my drag.

[all laugh]

[alarm] [cheers]

[RuPaul] Ooh, girl.

She done already done had herses.

Hi, racers. Have you dined with us before?

All of our artisanal items are locally tucked,

totally whore-ganic, and meant to be served raw.

I mean, family style.

[all laugh]

What?

Hello, hello, hello.

[cheers and applause]

Nice.

[RuPaul] You know, drag queens are as all-American

as baseball, apple pie,

and two tig ol' bitties.

[all laugh]

So for today's mini challenge,

you'll be competing in a good old fashioned potato sack race.

[cheers and laughter]

But this race isn't about finishing first.

Ladies, this is all about

slow-mo, jugs a-jiggling, boobography.

[all laugh]

Now, you've got 20 minutes

to strap on some quick, bodacious drag.

Plus to make sure you're hairdo is bouncing, too,

we're providing hair spray from Hask.

Hask for it by name.

[all laugh]

Go!

I'm gonna feel like Ts Madison, baby.

[Silky] The key to having big old juicy titties

is to make sure you've got a good weight on it

that it bounce, honey.

See, look at my titties.

Ain't they bouncing?

Are they really bouncing?

Whoo.

I got a wonderful cornbread recipe

if you would like to have it.

Make your titties grow. Just eat a bite every day,

your titties get all big and juicy.

[RuPaul] Time's up, ladies.

Wow, this really is RuPaul's Breast Friend Race.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Now, Yvie, until your ankle heals,

you can just stand and deliver, baby.

All right, ladies.

Start those engines.

Let's see some bouncing.

Ready? Set. Go!

Ooh, shake them maracas, mama.

Her cups done runneth over.

[audio slowed down] Oh!

Ladies, you all had a field day with this one.

But a pair of you nearly poked my eyes out.

[all laugh]

The two winners of today's Mini Challenge are...

Nina Breast.

Oh! Yes!

And Shuga Tits.

Yes, bitch!

You've each won $2.500, courtesy of Hask.

[cheers]

Ladies, I am proud to announce

that for the first time in Drag Race herstory,

this episode is going to be 100% whore-ganic,

locally sourced, and certified free trade.

Yeah. [all laugh]

And speaking of free trade, ♪ oh, pit crew ♪

[cheers] Oh, Lord.

[Silky] Ooh, I hope this is a cooking challenge.

Even pine cones.

Now, for this week's Maxi Challenge,

you need to use all natural ingredients

to create a farm-to-runway look

that is both sickening and sustainable.

That's right.

You'll be wearing all this organic produce on the runway.

#DragRace.

Now, these products come from the farm,

but your final look needs to be worthy of New York Fashion Week.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win.

[Vanjie] This week's Maxi Challenge is farm-to-runway.

We have to create a fashionable look

using natural materials.

Oh, I could take all these sponges and make a sponge dress.

[Vanjie] We gotta take eggs and beans and rope

and try to make high fashion clothing.

I'm shaking in my boots.

[Shuga] Come on, snap peas.

Bitch, I'm here just to eat.

[laughs]

Is this kale?

Honey, I'm eating all the fruit, the seeds.

I don't even know what my garment's going to be.

What's this? Is that food or is that chalk?

All I know is the food is good, and I am here for it.

[laughs]

Eat it.

[Brooke] I'm thinking something like really structured.

What are you thinking of doing?

Probably like a corset and have it like shoots feathers.

I have like a lot of feathers.

I love a good design challenge.

But Brooke Lynn has beaten me for both of them.

I hate her. No, I'm just kidding.

I think this is my chance to prove

that I can do something no matter what you throw at me.

[Plastique] You'll make it work.

Because you won both of the design challenge.

I'm not mad about it.

[Brooke Lynn] Just like you're not mad about those wigs.

[laughs]

I love you. I hope you win.

[Ra'Jah] So how you feeling, bitch?

Confused, because my creative mind

don't just be like, okay, boom, I see something.

I gotta cut something up, glue something,

be like, girl, this ain't gonna work for me,

and go from there.

So I'm just like, oh, my God.

I think A'Keria really isn't jazzed

at the idea of having to use alternative materials,

especially since her drag is very not that.

[Ra'Jah] Girl, you say that,

but then you turn out a sickening look as always.

Yeah, but see, I just need more than just a sickening look.

I need another win.

You know, that tasted real good.

Who needs it is the doll.

It's kind of crazy, because like in all of the sewing challenges,

I always find myself just safe.

So I want to see how I can push my limit.

Yeah.

But still keep it high fashion, keep it Ra'Jah.

I did walk in to the workroom

in an unconventional paper challenge.

So I'm feeling very on top of the moon,

like, bitch, this is your challenge to win.

Like, I'm with it.

Let's go. Come on.

[Brooke Lynn] Have you figured yours out yet?

Yeah, I'm gonna make the dress

that Soju went home on, but right.

[laughs]

'Cause the thing is, she had, like, a decent silhouette.

It's just she ruined it by not executing that silhouette.

[Yvie] This is really a chance for me to show off my skill

to turn alternative materials into wearable clothing.

This is my wheelhouse,

and I feel like if I can't shine at this,

I can't shine at any design challenge.

[laughs]

So I cannot make the same silhouette.

I know that for a motherfucking fact.

[Michelle] It's either a leotard or a corset and a panty

and some kind of pasty.

I'm getting bored.

Do you have a sketch for it?

'Cause you know I'll tell you lies, girl.

Well, girl, come here, Yvie, 'cause it--

Bitch, right, you will tell me the motherfucking truth.

My drag aesthetic is Pretty Woman, Rodeo Drive stripper.

But I know if I walk down that runway in a leotard,

Michelle's going to slay me Buffy style.

I want to make something out of all rope.

-The whole top. -Okay.

And I want to add some rope dangling from the sides

off the shoulder.

[Yvie] And then if you make a more dramatic shape

around the bottom, because a lot of your stuff--

-It's tight. -Has been like tight.

Yeah, girl, I think that's cute.

Girl, at least she--you read me,

but at least I come to you to possibly read me again.

[laughs]

I was thinking of like shucking the corn,

and using that as fabric.

[Yvie] I think that's actually really creative.

[Nina] This is so hopeful for me.

[laughs]

My approach is to present something really different

from what the judges have seen from me.

I got some stretch fabric to maybe create a base,

especially for the top, so it's fitted at the top.

Yeah.

But then to build off of that, so it's like that.

I think that's a really cool idea.

I'm inspired by this photo of Ru in the workroom.

It's important for me to consider proportionizing

because that's a critique that I've gotten on the runway.

And I want to show these judges that I am listening

and I'm trying to better my drag.

The execution is going to be paramount.

I don't want to float, and I don't want to be safe.

I want it to be exquisite.

My runway is struggling.

I didn't know I was going to be this bad at it.

So it's huge for me to really fix this.

Last time somebody came out with corn, they went home.

Shangie, shout out to you, boo.

Hey, cysts.

-Hey. -Hi.

Is the farmer's daughter here?

[all laugh] I'm here.

-Brooke Lynn Hytes. -RuPaul.

You are known as a design queen.

You've got a lot to live up to here.

It's just so funny, because back home

I am not known as a design queen at all.

-Really? -I'm the dancing queen.

Now, I'm surprised.

I thought you would be a bigger personality.

You're actually more subdued.

[Brooke Lynn] I am. My personality

is not super loud and in your face.

I'm like an introverted extrovert.

No, I get it. I'm the same way.

But, you know, I do have a point of view.

I do have a sense of humor.

-I like to act crazy. -[laughs]

Do you like to act crazy?

I definitely think I say my piece.

I just think before I have something to say.

I want to be intelligent about it.

[RuPaul] Last week, I asked the girls on the losing team

who they think should go home.

I'm gonna ask you the same question.

Who do you think should go home?

Just speaking off what I've seen

and who's been in the lowest category the most times,

I'm going to go with Ra'Jah. [RuPaul] Fair enough.

You've gotten very far on your aesthetic

and your ability to dance.

I want to see more personality out of you.

-Okay. -I know it's there.

I've seen you conjure it up in the dancing.

Give me and the people at home watching it,

an opportunity to fall in love with you

by some of the crunchy bits.

-More vulnerability. -Exactly.

You know, that's a hard thing for me to do.

I used to be a super emotional child.

Like, I would cry at everything.

And then I think as I got older, I would get embarrassed

and, like, kind of closed off,

so I really kind of became closed a lot.

So--and I even, like, even now,

I'm kind of tearing up thinking about--

talking about serious things always makes me cry, so...

Ha. It gives me anxiety just thinking about it.

Mm. Mm.

Well, this may be an opportunity

for you to really work through that,

and not judge it or be ashamed of it.

This is a unique situation we're in right here.

Completely.

And everything's going to come to the surface.

Show people who you are.

[A'Keria] Mama Ru ain't wrong.

Brooke Lynn is sickening on stage and boring off stage.

She holds back because she has a fear of actually being judged.

-Hey, Ra'Jah. -Hey, what's going on?

[RuPaul] Another design challenge.

I want to separate the real badass bitches from the chaff.

Okay.

Are you chaff or are you wheat?

I'm the good ass wheat.

-[laughs] -I'm that good ass wheat.

You can make some cereal.

You can get you some oats and wheats, all of it.

Okay, good. Now, we're working with farm products,

but I want Seventh Avenue fashion.

Can you give it to me?

I'm actually working on some designs now.

-You sketch it out first? -I always sketch it.

I am super confident designing.

All of my looks usually I create.

Seeing how everybody else

is actually just kind of hot gluing,

I really want the judges to know that I can construct,

even in an organic, unconventional challenge.

I do have my go-to silhouettes,

but I always want to stretch myself

outside of my comfort zone,

especially when there is a design challenge.

It should be a challenge.

It shouldn't just be, you know, a corset.

I'm shooting for winning.

Good. All right.

-I'll see you later, Ra'Jah. -All right. See you later.

-Hey, Plastique. -Hi, Ru.

I see you are at work here on another design challenge.

You know, I wanted to do another design challenge

to give you girls an opportunity to really show your personality.

Yes.

And that's been something you've been called out on.

Yes, that has been. I'm working on it.

Is there something you don't want us to see?

Uh, you know, coming here,

I had an idea of what America's Next Drag Superstar should be.

Like, should be this polished individual

who is always like that.

Growing up, I-- it wasn't okay in my family

to say whatever I want to say or do whatever I want to do,

because whoever I am was not okay.

Do they know you're here?

No.

Do they know you are a performer?

They do, they do,

but it's not something that we talk about in my family.

Don't you owe it to them to be yourself?

I do, but in the past,

when I tried to do that, it didn't end up so well.

Yeah.

And I've seen a lot of, you know,

like, unhappiness in my family...

Resulting of me...

Resulting of me trying to come out of my shell

and show them who I am.

So...

all I've known is to just hide it away, you know.

What can't be seen can't hurt them, you know.

[RuPaul] This is an opportunity

for you to show them in a way,

on your own terms,

you're beautiful and creative...

and this is your gift to not only them, but to yourself.

Thank you. Thank you.

[sobs]

-Show it. Show it. -I will.

The tears, the bits that you may be ashamed of, do it here.

This is your new home.

I'm your new mommy.

[cries]

You'll always be my baby.

I can't help but get emotional

because a family should celebrate and love

what their son has become.

Let me see it on that runway.

I promise you I will.

For someone who's, quote, unquote,

doesn't have a lot of personality,

she's really putting herself out there

in a very different way than, say, Silky.

I just find it very strange

that in a walk-through about personality,

or lack thereof, somehow correlates into

your family not knowing that you do drag,

and that's the reason why you have no personality?

A'Keria C. Davenport.

Hey, Mama Ru.

What's that C. stand for?

Chanel.

Bitch, you better bring some Chanel up in here.

Chanel.

It's a design challenge.

-Ooh. -Why you say it like that?

It's just actually coming up with that idea

that puts me at the top instead of just being safe.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

So that's where my struggle is.

As I look around the room, most girls are covering corsets.

So I'm going to dye some burlap blue,

then accent it with it a peacock theme.

Let's show the judges that I can do different looks.

Last week, I asked the girls on the losing team

who they think should go home.

I'm gonna ask you the same question.

I'd probably have to say Brooke.

You've called her name more than mine as a winner, so...

-Uh-huh. -Yeah.

So you want to take out the competition.

Of course.

Take these materials and make something beautiful.

-I sure will. -Thanks.

I'm definitely feeling the pressure,

because the judges do hold pageant queens such as myself,

Brooke Lynn, even Plastique to a higher standard

than the personality queens

such as Yvie or Nina or even Silky.

They get a pass.

But I finally got my win,

and I need to keep my streak going.

Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

What's the grease, Mama?

[RuPaul] Well, you know,

Michelle's been coming for your ass with the leotard.

What did you promise her?

No more swimsuit, body suits.

I ain't gonna wear them even if they call my name

when I look at them in my suitcase

and they're saying "put me on."

I'm saying, no, bitch.

[laughs]

I guess there's certain things I just like.

I like that silhouette 'cause it looks good.

Ain't nobody telling Michelle to put her titties away.

You know, 'cause she got good titties, show 'em.

But I'm up for the challenge.

I ain't trying to go home,

so Michelle, whatever you want me to do, I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna try.

So who do you think should go home?

Um...

who's left?

Bitch, you know who's left.

I don't know.

I want to remind your ass this is a competition

and I got a ride sharing service on hold.

I would say...

Yvie, because she told me I needed to change my silhouette.

I don't know if she thought she was the voice of reason.

And you took offense to it.

Yeah, because I knew she was right.

[Vanjie] Even though Yvie was right,

yeah, I'm being a little sensitive.

I'm not gonna lie, yes.

Because, I mean, I haven't been performing the best.

I'm a returning queen,

and I know I need to win something.

Y'all said if I named somebody, they're going.

It might be you, bitch.

No! Why you go and say that?

-[laughs] -Don't put that juju over here.

-Go over there with that. -You get to work.

I don't even know what to think--

I'm about to scratch everything.

Well, you know, impress me.

-Impress me. -I will. I'ma try.

All right. I'll see you out there.

-Dr. Silky Ganache. -Hey, Ru.

[RuPaul] Now, bitch, this is a design challenge,

and you've been getting by on that personality of yours.

-Oh, have I? -You know that.

I ain't telling you nothing you don't already know.

How you gonna make this work for you in a design challenge?

I'm stepping outside my box once again.

When did you step outside your box?

Last design challenge when I was just too pretty apparently.

Uh-huh. Bitch, but you were in the bottom.

You're going to have to bring it on this design challenge.

-I am. -You said that last time.

What are you going to do different this time?

I'm not making a gown, which you'll be happy about.

[RuPaul] No, it's not a gown. I love gowns.

It just has to be finished in a way

where the judges are not going to say

go back to the sewing machine.

Right.

I mean, did you hear that part?

I did hear that part.

I didn't agree with some parts.

[RuPaul] But it's the judges' opinion that really matters.

[Silky] I know.

So who do you think should go home?

I think Yvie should go home,

just because she's hurt and we ain't got time for that.

Oh.

[Yvie] That's like a crock of bullshit.

Silky just doesn't want to look shady on TV

and tell Ru that she wants me to go home

because she doesn't like me

or the fact that I call her out, which is the real reason.

You have your work cut out for you,

'cause this shit

gotta look like it's on the New York runway.

You'll see it. I promise you.

Okay. You--

Or make me lip sync for my life.

That's a guarantee for me.

Okay, because you know that's also a possibility.

-I ain't afraid. -Okay.

All right, Dr. Ganache.

I would love to see Miss Yvie in a lip sync for your life.

I'm gonna send that bitch all the way back to Denver.

Ready to.

-Yvie Oddly. -Howdy-ho.

How's your ankle doing?

I haven't had any complaints.

Oh, good. That's good to know.

Is it going to keep you out of the top spot this week?

No. It's not my first time spraining an ankle,

and I usually bounce back in a day or two.

Good.

I think if anybody's worried about it,

it should be my competitors, because it goes away fast.

[RuPaul] Ooh, oh, bitch.

On that note, who do you think should go home?

Silky Ganache.

[RuPaul] Why?

I think Silky has been the most resistant

to your critiques and the judges.

Why you pressed, ho?

Bitch, I was in the bottom for being beautiful.

A good problem to have when you're me,

and you can actually do makeup, unlike that bitch,

who couldn't serve you glam a fucking day of her life.

But I am a threat.

America's gonna love me,

and I think that bitch knows that.

[RuPaul] So now you have a quirky style.

How are you gonna translate that

into a high fashion storyline on the main stage?

I do have so many different sides of me,

and I've sketched out a silhouette

that I haven't brought to the judges yet.

So I'm excited to really nail home

something that everyone in Fashion Week would die to have.

You guys are going to see an entirely different Yvie.

All right, Yvie.

I can't wait to see what you turn out.

-Thank you, Ru. -Thank you.

[RuPaul] All right, ladies. Gather round.

Gather round, ladies.

Oh, there's so few of you now.

[all laugh]

Now, in a moment,

you'll be heading over to the main stage

where you'll meet a mystery guest,

who's going to give you some pointers

on your runway presentation.

So good luck, and don't fuck it up.

[Shuga] Aah!

Who could it be?

-Oh, man. -Yeah.

Well, yippee-yi ki-yay.

[cheers and applause]

My mom. Aah!

She's here.

The one, the only, Alyssa Edwards.

All right.

I came all the way from Mesquite, Texas

to give y'all some runway pointers.

Now, some people might think

it doesn't require a lot of work to look flawless on the runway.

Well, think again.

And that's why I'm here.

Before I give y'all anything, y'all let me know

if my daughter over here, Miss Plastique,

has she been fucking up over here?

-Yes, she has. -Where do we start?

Before I got my tubes tied after Laganja,

I said I'm gonna do one more.

[all laugh]

But you know what, Plastique, I got my eyes on you.

Ain't gonna be no favoritism, so you better turn it out today.

I see you, Ma. I see you.

'Cause if you don't, I'm gonna go put your ass in the corner.

[all laugh]

All right, why don't y'all show me

what y'all got, what y'all are working with.

Everybody take a seat, please.

And let's start with Miss Vanjie.

[Vanjie] Get the composition notebook out.

We're going to school, y'all.

Now, I know you can walk backwards, okay.

Now I want to see you walk forward and to the right,

to the left, and go diagonal if you are that girl.

[Vanjie] I'm coming. Pop the beat, please.

[music plays]

And I don't walk slow like all the other ho's.

You know, I like to pump through and be ghetto.

Hold on, Miss Vanjie, hold on. You went too fast.

I thought you was running from the cops.

You probably ran from the cops, haven't you, Vanjie?

[all laugh]

This time, when you get down stage here

in the center, Miss Vanjie, you look at all of them like,

Ru, you know, honey, you was wearing my name on your neck.

Okay, take two.

Okay, here she is. She came out.

She said y'all know me. Still the same OG. Okay.

Ain't shit changed but the name on the mail.

Ha! Okay, I like it.

Ha! Okay, and then complete it. Complete it.

Now look at them. That's it.

[all laugh] That's your character, right?

Ha!

Brooke Lynn Hytes.

Oh, it's serious and severe.

I like that she's on her relevé.

Obviously, Brooke Lynn is a dancer.

Your technique is lovely,

but what are you really about, gal?

See, for all of you, your personality,

that is what every judge wants to see.

So go back and let's do it again.

Sell your character, because before you sell it,

you've gotta buy it yourself. Hit it.

[music plays]

Oh, now we're doing it.

She's walking on air.

Now crank up the personality and the persona.

There we go.

And then she said let me go ahead

and give y'all a little bit of shoulder.

I need to know where you're going,

not just on this runway, but in life.

What is your character?

Oh, and that's the way she's going.

[all laugh]

Nina West.

She does crossfit. Yep, that's her.

[all laugh]

Oh, this is very pleasing.

She says look at the back, no back rolls.

Ehh.

A little bit. [all laugh]

Crank it up. Crank it to the left.

Crank it like-- you want to go that way?

Crank it up this way, that way, forward, back, who cares?

Look at me.

Jacqueline Smith for Kmart.

[all laugh]

[Alyssa] I wanna see a little Shuga in that tank.

Hit it.

Punch it, girl.

Oh, she's obviously selling that ass.

[all laugh]

Got more legs than a bucket of chicken.

-Two of them. -Two of them.

[all laugh]

Not chartreuse, but Silky.

Okay.

Hold it, hold it. Girl, hold that pose.

Let them get up in that mug and that body.

No, you ain't gotta do all that.

Let your eyes do it for you.

Don't turn into the sign language.

You ain't no flight attendant.

Oh, oh, there it is.

Let 'em digest it, girl. And now go.

Okay, this fantasy is interesting.

[all laugh]

[Alyssa] If I could describe my spirit animal,

that might be Miss Silky.

Hold on, what was that? Tell me what that was.

That looked like an orgasm.

I wanted them to get all this ganache.

What does that mean?

Get all this ganache.

[all laugh]

This bitch is for real.

I'm gonna get you with this one, though.

I got all the ganache. Don't worry about it.

I got it--Oh.

Don't you break the set, bitch.

You'll be going all the way back to where you came from.

[all laugh]

Plastique, girl, if you come around that corner

and have me act like a stage mom from Toddlers and Tiaras.

[all laugh]

Oh, barefooted.

I love it. We've gone over this a lot, bitch.

Now, Plastique, what...

[all laugh]

See, a smart gal right there, honey.

When did this Plastique clock in for this shift?

Did somebody order

a extra side of extra-ness?

[Alyssa] Come on, bat your eyes.

Do it like we do at the house for the pageant.

Okay, not too crazy now.

[all laugh]

I am very proud of Plastique.

I just knew she was going to buckle when she saw me,

and she didn't.

And that lets me know that she is ready for this.

Oh, y'all thought I was done.

Aah!

Oh!

Okay, she's disqualified.

[all laugh] Ma!

Last but certainly not least,

the oddest, not Stevie, but Yvie.

[gasps] Oh, she's got flexibility.

Oh, look at that. Okay.

Oh.

All right, Miss Yvie.

Gumby's sister.

Oh, she's doing yoga class. All right.

And now she's punching.

This bitch has got to get to the bus stop.

[all laugh]

Let's don't say that. Rewind back. Let's--

I don't want Roxxxy sending me a tweet.

[all laugh]

Uh-oh.

Now, Yvie, I want to see you in drag.

I'm into all of this.

[Vanjie] She nasty.

She is on her way to the Olympics.

Oh, girl, we just came from there.

You did? [all laugh]

What is that blue tape?

Oh, see, that's for a sprained ankle.

But I just wanted to show the girls

that you can push through things,

as long as you're not pushing past your limit.

[Silky] Really, bitch?

-Thank you, Yvie. -Thank you.

[light applause]

Send me home 'cause I'm injured.

So my ankle is definitely not happy that I did all of that,

but like I'm really pissed that Silky would say that

as a bullshit excuse to send me home,

especially when she saw me finish that last challenge

on a sprained ankle.

Now, y'all know I didn't come all the way over here

just to be nobody's Miss Jay runway coach.

[all laugh]

So I got a surprise for y'all.

And for Ru.

Y'all know Ru loves his country breakfast,

so we're gonna teach y'all a little jig, honey,

to entertain her in the morning

while she snacks up on her chicken and biscuits.

Girl, I don't know how to country line dance.

I don't know what this shit is going to be.

[Vanjie] This is too much pressure.

Make an outfit. Now do choreography.

[Alyssa] I'm gonna call this group RuPaul's Pumpkin Pies.

Oh, Jesus, Lord, help us all.

[rooster crows]

Yee-haw! [laughs]

Ride 'em, cowboy.

Lotta ass. Ooh.

Today is elimination day.

Not only do we have a design challenge farm-to-runway,

but we also have to perform live, in front of the judges,

a country line dance called Pumpkin Pies.

What are you going to do with this?

-Girl. -Slick my hair up.

You want to brush it first, though, right?

Should I?

I don't know about this, honey.

I'm not good with hair. Never been good with hair.

I call Silky's boy hair can't-you, don't-you.

Can't you comb it, don't you try.

Can't do nothing with it.

It's Sonic the Hedgehog good.

Silky, why do you not know how to brush your own hair, though?

I'm terrible, girl.

And she talking about I'm gonna so win.

It'll be nappy in two days.

So, A'Keria, girl, did you end up switching yours up?

I switched mine up completely.

Like I had to because it was a disaster.

Girl. So last night I dyed my burlap

with organic dye that did not work.

And so I had to create a new look

with this denim fabric I found.

I mean, I'm a little iffy on it,

only because I just feel like it's too plain.

Of course, it's not one of my best,

but I always give over the top, over the top.

Maybe the judges will appreciate the less is more side of me.

Well, you know, I had to switch my look up a little bit

because I really wanted to show

that I can work with organic materials

and still make it look like it walks off the runway,

as opposed to like arts and crafts.

-Yeah. -[laughs]

I changed my idea because in the process

of Plastique stealing all of my fucking material,

it was like, okay,

so now you gotta figure something else out.

I was the one who originally pulled tree bark.

As I was working,

I look and I only have three pieces of bark left.

I'm like, so Plastique, did you use those pieces of bark?

She was like, oh, I did.

Well, bitch, why are you putting my shit

on your garment in the first place?

But I'm the bigger person

So I decided I'm going to give them

a sickening pair of motherfucking pants, burlap.

Who would ever think

to make a pair of pants out of a potato sack?

[clicks tongue]

Those pants, girl. The tailor on the pants.

I'm like, bitch.

[Ra'Jah] I hope the judges really respond

to the fact that I actually, like,

took my time and crafted something nice.

[all laugh] Shady lady.

[Shuga] No, no, no!

[Ra'Jah] So, Yvie, is your leg feeling better?

It definitely is. I'm like at 90%.

I think some rest and some time off of it

was really all it needed.

Girl, that walk through healed you right on up.

Oh, my God.

Bitch, when she said Miss Yvie, 'cause she's sick.

She said, oh, not on tonight.

Sporting a fever, baby.

That's part of the reason

I don't like showing a lot of that physical weakness

that I go through every day,

'cause I think bitches will take it for weakness.

And if you think that I'm too sick to be here,

you've got another thing coming.

'Cause the only type of sick she is is sickening.

[Shuga] Eew. [all laugh]

I ain't gonna agree to that, but, yeah.

[all laugh]

Well, girl, we all know someone has to leave tonight.

Whoever you are, you plan on leaving Silky some hair?

[Yvie] What happens if Silky departs?

Does she have to leave us some hair?

[Shuga] No, she can take it.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul laughs]

♪ Cover girl, put the bass in your walk ♪

[RuPaul] And what.

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

Michelle Visage, are you a vegan?

Well, apart from the occasional tube steak.

But we already knew that.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] The hilarious Ross Mathews.

Now, Ross, do you have any food allergies?

Because tonight, some of the outfits make contain nuts.

Oh, you know, Ru, sometimes you feel like a nut,

and sometimes you really feel like a nut.

Girl.

[all laugh]

The stunning Amber Valletta.

Welcome. Are you green?

Green with envy... for your look tonight.

Oh, darling.

[laughs]

And from The Real Housewives of Atlanta,

Grammy-winner Kandi Burruss.

Are you all natural?

Well, you know, milk does the body good,

but so does breast implants.

Oh, yes, of course.

[all laugh]

This week we challenged our queens

to whip up fresh fashions from farm-to-runway.

And a little birdie told me

that Alyssa brought some pumpkin pie.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win.

-Howdy, y'all. -Howdy, y'all.

[all laugh]

We're RuPaul's Pumpkin Pies.

Hope you're hungry.

'Cause you're country breakfast is ready.

[cheers]

[playing Turkey In The Straw]

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

Yee-haw!

[cheers and applause]

Y'all come back now, ya hear?

♪ We got a mighty love ♪

[RuPaul] Category is farm-to-runway.

First up, Shuga Cain.

[Ross] It's a whore-icane. [all laugh]

[RuPaul] Ladies and gentlemen, Seed St. Laurent.

[all laugh]

[Shuga] The materials I picked for my look

are burlap, canvas, dried pink and purple flowers.

The hair is windswept.

It is all ho-ganic ingredients.

I am letting the judges eat all the pumpkin seeds.

[Amber] She blew me away.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Silky Nutmeg Ganache.

[Kandi] Oh, my God, what a wheat-heart.

[all laugh]

[Silky] Bitch, I've literally taken beans and candy

as if they were beads and rhinestones,

and made this shit look couture.

Very sexy, very, very career woman.

And I live for it.

[Amber] It's a berry hard look to pull off.

[Michelle] Her outfit is held together with glu-ten.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Silky Nutmeg Ganache, part of a healthy breakfast.

Yvie Oddly.

-[Amber] Is it fall in Hawaii? -[RuPaul] Yeah.

[Amber] I love it.

[Kandi] This design, it's very creative.

[Yvie] I'm feeling like a Hawaiian fall goddess.

There's mystery and enchantment in my grass skirt

with fire up through the leaves.

And I'm giving you 100% gorgeous glamour

with a cute red finger wave,

because I'm just in love with a cute red finger wave.

[Michelle] Fire level: 10.

[RuPaul] Nina West.

[Kandi] I'm all ears.

[Michelle] She clearly got that outfit

from the husky section.

[all laugh]

[Ross] Michelle, are you going to have

these kind of corny jokes all night?

[Michelle] But it's a-maize-ing. [all laugh]

[Nina] I am popping the corn, and I'm feeding the children.

Not only am I a campy queen, I'm kind of corny.

[laughs]

My outfit is made entirely out of corn husks.

I have corn kernels on my shoes.

I am really actually feeling my oats.

My corn oats. [laughs]

[Amber] I hope she doesn't get corn holed.

[RuPaul] Aw, shucks.

[Michelle] Now there may be a kernel of truth in this outfit.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Brooke Lynn Hytes.

Chambray, you stay.

[all laugh]

[Amber] Orange you pretty? [RuPaul] Mm-hmm.

[Brooke Lynn] My denim look

is very Ralph Lauren summer collection.

We're featuring organic denim.

We're featuring candied orange.

And it's very fun and flirty.

-Oh. -Oh.

Oh, my goodness.

Thank you, Alyssa Edwards.

[RuPaul] Oh, she gonna serve us some of that orange juice.

[all laugh]

[Ross] Fresh squeezed.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] A'Keria C. Davenport.

[Michelle] The devil wears denim.

[A'Keria] I am giving you high fashion Miranda Priestly.

I have the flowing cloak with the matching pencil skirt,

with just a splash of organic peacock feathers.

I own everything.

[Michelle] Miranda Cheaply.

[RuPaul] I own 51% of this damn kibbutz.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

[Ross] Call me a prude, but that top is a little knotty.

[Michelle] It is.

[Amber] She's getting me all choked up.

[Vanjie] Baby, I'm punching down the runway

in my rope couture.

I got my burlap skirt

with my little Rhianna chopped bob.

I'm feeling my rope gig. I look good, baby.

[Ross] Murder She Rope.

[Kandi] Back ropes.

[Michelle laughs] Back ropes.

[RuPaul] Ra'Jah O'Hara.

I'd love to get a burlap dance from her.

[all laugh]

[Ra'Jah] I'm serving you a sickening pair of pants.

Burlap. At the top, I have the tree bark,

and at my temples, I have a piece of bark as my crown.

It's super high fashion,

and I feel like this is really my time to shine.

[Amber] She's a green b-raid.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Now we've got parsley for the salad.

[Michelle] Thank God. I'm starving.

[RuPaul] Plastique Tiara.

She's reminding me of a model.

I think Twiggy. That's who it is.

[all laugh]

[Plastique] So I'm walking down the runway,

remembering Alyssa's critiques just to take it slow

for the judges to take all this work in.

I used feathers, corn, bark, dried flowers,

and everything worked together beautifully.

[Michelle] We were rooting for you.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Welcome, ladies.

Based on your farm-to-runway presentations,

I've made some decisions.

When I call your name, please step forward.

Shuga Cain.

Dr. Silky Nutmeg Ganache.

Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

Ladies, you are safe.

You may leave the stage.

[laughs]

[RuPaul] Ladies, this week, you represent

the tops of the crops and the bottoms of the barrel.

It's time for the judges' critiques,

starting with Yvie Oddly.

Your use of all of the organic materials was perfect.

And the colors were amazing to me.

[Amber] You were giving fall in Hawaii,

which doesn't exist, which is even more genius.

There's a real quirkiness to you, and I love that.

[Ross] There's a taste level tonight,

but you're not losing any of Yvie in this.

You're finding a really nice way of staying true to who you are.

If you can keep this formula up, the future looks bright for you.

[Yvie] Thank you.

[RuPaul] Up next, Brooke Lynn Hytes.

[Amber] I love this look.

The details with the trim on the shoe,

and the bag is major because it's an oversize,

which is really in fashion right now.

[Kandi] And then the whole back thing.

Honey, that's everything.

[all laugh]

[Ross] You look like someone who's comfortable

with a frontrunner status, 'cause you've been killing it.

Thank you.

[Ross] It's funny, when you set a bar,

you have to like stay at that level now,

-or we're disappointed. -Yeah.

-But you're keeping it up. -Thank you.

Well, thank you.

Up next, Plastique Tiara.

I love this outfit.

It reminds me of a Brooke Shields Vanity Fair cover

from November of 1984.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Coming from the runway,

designers want you to emote if you're the clothing,

and I really got that from you.

[Ross] In the pumpkin pie number,

I don't think I've ever seen you have that much fun

since the acting challenge.

Yeah, I really, really did.

The talk you had with me in the workroom

meant so much to me.

And then I saw Alyssa,

and it just motivated me even more.

-You all believed in me. -Yeah.

So I don't have anything to hold back at this point.

[RuPaul] Well, you have Alyssa, and now you have us.

And that's what we get to do as gay people.

We get to find our tribe who can support us.

Thank you.

Up next, Ra'Jah O'Hara.

-Your makeup is stun-ning. -Thank you so much.

Let's talk about the pumpkin pie number.

That was a big personality challenge.

I lost you a little bit.

Tonight on the runway, I am seeing Groot.

[Ra'Jah] I really wanted to tell a story.

I've been in the bottom a couple of times,

and I felt like a tree that has been uprooted

in a burlap bag,

and my bark, because I am stronger than I thought I was.

And I'm still blossoming.

That's where the green comes in.

And then my headdress is my crown.

It doesn't suck, but there's ways it could be better.

I just hated the headpiece.

That took away from the top to me.

And the trousers, they were coming apart, right?

It's a bold move to make a pant out of burlap.

But I appreciate a big swing.

Up next, A'Keria.

That hairline is kind of hard.

And the shoulder pads, I hated them.

They were giving me, like, old school, you know, like--

What's wrong with shoulder pads?

Come on, now. You're giving me linebacker.

Now, the idea of this shape is not bad.

What happened was your shoulders rose so high

that it was almost like a little bit of hunchback.

And I missed your arms.

And then--oh, there they are.

Now, that would have been a good thing

to look at in the mirror to see

am I showing all my best assets.

[Michelle] Tonight on the runway

everything that I'm used to seeing you do

kind of took a step back this week.

Up next, Nina West.

Representing corn. Corn?

When did I eat corn?

This look tonight, I'm still digesting this,

like when you eat corn.

[laughs]

[Ross] The top really worked for me.

It's the proportion on the bottom.

It looks like it's some saggy drawers.

[Michelle] Your body shape's still a little off.

Now we got the booty, we need to round out the hips.

Your makeup, warm up your base.

You could soften up the eye,

because you have a really pretty face.

You could show that more.

[Ross] I know you've been doing drag a long time,

but if you can fine tune this,

you could take your drag to a whole other level.

I want to know and I want to be better,

so I'm really grateful for this.

Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.

While you un-shuck backstage,

the judges and I will deliberate.

All right, just between us squirrel friends,

what do you think? Starting with Yvie Oddly.

I loved her act on the hay bale.

I thought she was hilarious,

and her attention to detail was great in her dress.

[RuPaul] The color combination was really beautiful,

and I loved the finger waves on her.

It was an oddly softer side of Yvie, and I liked it.

[Ross] Yvie came here with a very unique way of doing drag,

and now she's going into this place

where she's giving us some glamour,

which looks really good on her.

Yvie is progressing every week.

That's exciting.

[RuPaul] Brooke Lynn Hytes.

For me, Brooke Lynn is a lot of perfection.

She put together the denim beautifully.

Her dress was the most street-worthy.

She knows what she's doing.

Yeah. Brooke Lynn is here to win.

It just gave me my life sitting here.

[Ross] But she didn't make me laugh

during the pumpkin pie hoe-down.

There were other queens out there

with their teeth blacked out,

really hyuh-hyuh, hyuh-hyuh, going for it.

and she didn't do that.

She was a great dancer, but not hilarious.

Like a step aerobics teacher.

Well, I've never been, but sounds great.

[all laugh]

[RuPaul] Plastique Tiara.

The design tonight was great.

Yeah, very couture.

She was giving me woodland faerie, ballerina.

And her walk. Did y'all not pay attention

to how slow and sultry she was coming down that runway.

She was giving me everything.

[RuPaul] During the walk-through, she confessed

she comes from a very strict Vietnamese family

who doesn't really understand

why little boys would want to do drag.

[Amber] And to have the courage to go ahead

and do what she believes in is so commendable.

And that makes her even more beautiful.

[RuPaul] Ra'Jah O'Hara.

Ra'Jah, for me, was gone in Pumpkin Pie.

Like I forgot she was even in this competition.

But I loved where she was trying to go tonight on the runway.

The story she talks about

how she's the tree that's been dug up and wrapped in burlap--

Yeah, but, bitch, you didn't get that story.

She had to tell you.

[Amber] But the fact that she wore pants

was very different.

Mind you, it was an ABC: another bad creation.

They were falling apart in the crotch,

the seams were wide open,

and then these white shoes,

it just made no sense to me.

Ru, do you ever bake?

In my lovin' oven.

[laughs]

Sometimes in my Dutch oven.

-Ooh. -Well, sometimes you check

to see if something's done, and it's not done yet.

I feel like that's where Ra'Jah is.

I just wish I could set the timer for a little longer.

[RuPaul] Let's move on to A'Keria.

For me, A'Keria is a power hitter in this competition.

And then she came out on the runway tonight,

it was like where's my A'Keria?

[Ross] Tonight is just such a big miss.

The dress just swallowed her up.

[Kandi] And those shoulder pads, honey.

It ruined the illusion for me.

It just felt like she was ready to tackle somebody.

And I wish they would have tackled her right off the stage.

[all laugh] I just wasn't into it.

Sorry.

[RuPaul] Our corny Nina West.

[all laugh] Aw, shucks.

I love that little corn puff.

She's so eager to do well.

[Michelle] I appreciate the fact

that she's trying to do the padding that I suggested.

Tonight, her body looked much better,

and I was proud of the aesthetic.

I actually liked what she did with the corn husks.

And she wasn't afraid to be ugly and quirky.

It's really important to play different sides and entertain.

But is she America's Next Drag Superstar?

Well, we still have yet to see that in Nina.

I hope Nina gets to stick around,

because she is elevating her game.

And if she gets it, watch out for Nina.

Silence. I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Yvie, oddly, you've never looked lovelier.

Brooke Lynn Hytes, in this competition,

you're using your head and your ass.

Plastique Tiara, this week was your breakthrough.

Plastique Tiara...

Con-drag-ulations.

You are the winner of this week's challenge.

[cheers and applause]

Thank you.

You've won a five night trip to Toronto,

courtesy of Tourism Toronto.

I finally won!

Thank you so much. Thank you.

I've been in the top so many times, so to win feels so good.

So, so good.

Ra'Jah O'Hara,

your organic look was undercooked.

A'Keria C. Davenport,

your denim look gave the judges the blues.

Nina West,

your corn look did not a-maize the judges.

Nina West...

You are safe.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

[RuPaul] Ra'Jah, A'Keria, I'm sorry, my dears,

but you are up for elimination.

[Ra'Jah] To know that I'm in the bottom again...

I'm like devastated.

But I'm just continuing to fight.

[RuPaul] Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

and save yourself from elimination.

The time has come... [thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] for your life!

[A'Keria] Ra'Jah has received a reputation

of being the lip sync assassin.

But she ain't assassinating me tonight.

That won't sit right in my soul, mama.

Good luck,

and don't fuck it up.

Takes a real bitch from the hood

I'm heartbroken, but this is only the beginning,
