I do think she means well.
I do think she's misunderstood.
But Kenya got ya, girl.

Keep recording me.
PS, I like you guys.

I would like to think the girls are, ooh, she's sickening.
I'm scared to go against her.
But girl, I don't think I really shook anybody.

from my bottom place.
Ugh.
- Congratulations to Vita!

- To be on the bottom last week and to now
be victorious and win this week,
I feel fucking good.
- Vita is quiet, but that bitch is a silent killer.
She's holding her cards really close.
And she's more than just a design girl.
That bitch, she-- she has layers to her.
- We did have some unexpected bottom placements.
You were a little cracked.
What were you thinking?
- I--I'm gagged, honestly.
What was confusing to me was the judges going,
we love your outfit, but we hate your walk.
And then Ru going, I love your walk,
but you weren't selling the outfit.

I really thought I had it.

I was just basing on what you would wear personally.
And I would wear Athena's.
- I would wear Athena's too. - OK.

An asymmetric gown?
- I think Darlene's has a more couture element to it,
whereas I think this one is a pretty [bleep] gown.
- Ooh! [laughter]
- Oh, it's not a pretty [bleep] gown.
Where would you get a [bleep] gown like this,
where the bottom is hemmed and lined?

Athena's mind is imploding like the Death Star.
Like, we found the target.
And it's just--pff!
But she's so easy to piss off.
It's actually kind of fun.

what if we get our makeup off?

And true feelings do come out.

- Get ready for the Rate-A-Queen Talent Show.
- Oh, my God.
- Part one. - Part one?
- One?
- [evil laughter] - What the fuck?
- This week, half of you will take the stage
to perform a showstopping talent number,
and the other half will watch and rate the performances.
The Rate-A-Queen results will determine the tops
and bottoms of the week.
- Gagged.
- Wow. - Oh,
- Yay.
Rate-A-Queen.
I have a suspicion that in a cast like this,
where so many people are coming in
with pre-existing relationships,
that is going to have to affect the way that people are voting.
- The top two queens will lip sync for the win.
- Ooh.
- And the bottom queen will lip sync for her life
against next week's bottom
from the Rate-A-Queen Talent Show,
part two.
Now, I'll let you all decide who performs which week
and the performance order.
- Whoa! - Why are you doing this?
- My power!
- Jeez.
- Rate-A-Queen is back.
But I have a strategy.
And as long as we can stick to it,
I think everything will be OK.
- Vita VonTesse, as last week's Maxi Challenge winner,
you get to pick which week you'd like to perform.
- Ooh! - Ooh, girl.
- Now, listen, you all have a lot to figure out.
- Yeah. - You're telling us.
- So don't fuck it up.
- Whoo!
- Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.

- Y'all wanted a twist, eh?
- I am fully expecting that there are going to be
a lot of whispers around the room.
A lot of I've got you, you've got me.
I'm expecting this to get messy.
- You all are about to be some shady bitches.
- Talent show, ladies!
- Girl.
This is some crazy shit.
- Rate-A-fucking-Queen, girl.
- This week's challenge is the talent show,
but it's not just your average talent show.
We're doing Rate-A-Queen.
- Why are we rating a queen in the middle of the season?
That don't make no sense.
We know each other.
There's friendships.
There's lovers.
I don't know.
There's barbecues.
Bitch, I don't know.
- I hate Rate-A-Queen. - OK.
- I just didn't come here to be judged by y'all.
- [laughs] - No shade.
- It's true. - It's like,
I came here to have RuPaul and the judges,
like, tell me what's going on. - Right.
- Not my competitors.
- Rate-A-Queen is hard, because you know,
do we play it realistic?
Do we do a little strategy with it?
Like, Jane, you've been in the top every week.
Like... [laughter]
Wouldn't it be convenient to put you lower in the rank?
- I feel like nobody's gonna say this to my face,
but I do feel like, if there is an opportunity
to rank me lower, I think that there are
definitely people in here who will
take the opportunity to do so.
- I would never do that.
- Sister! - Sister.
- I planned to be judged by RuPaul,
but now I am going to be judged by a bunch of bitches
from Florida who can't read.
So we're kind of--
I'm feeling a little thrown.
- What do we think is gonna be going on in the room?
- I feel like the dancers in the room--Juicy,
I'm assuming she'll do something with her, like,
dancing and stunts. - Yeah.
Mia?
- Mia is just choreography down.
- What about you?
- Um, I'm reading a poem.
- [gasp] - OK.
- I was like, OK, we're gonna,
like, trauma dump a little bit.
- Fun.
- Right, everybody loves a trauma dump.
- Trauma bonding! - Yeah!
- Ciara doing a poem for her talent show is very ballsy.
She's such a creator.
She sees things outside of the box.
Like, she is a threat.
- You're doing, what?
- I am referencing a performance
that I do out in the real world.
So I'm doing a little storytelling number.
It's this little viral moment that I had,
and I'm kind of repackaging it and doing--
- I think I know exactly which one it is.
- Oh, you do? - And I can't wait to see it.
I know Nini from this video that went viral
on the internet, where she was a praying mantis.
It was really crazy.
It got, like, 4 million views.
Like, I always wanted to see it live.
So if it's what I'm thinking it is...
- OK, OK, maybe, maybe, maybe.
- Then I'm really looking forward to it.
- Do we feel like doing something
that everybody's already seen counts against her?
Don't you want to show something new?
- Right.
- What else do you do besides bugs?
- I am doing a little 1, 2...
- OK.
- Dance from an original song.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm thinking week one.
- OK. - Work.
- Thinking.
Baby, I'd rather perform this week.
Let's go ahead and snatch the Band-Aid off.
It's a lot of nerves in me right now,
so let's just go ahead and get this over with.
- You're doing flag for yours?
- Yeah, so I'm doing, like, an original,
but it's like a bed.
I start off from a spoken word, then I go into a book,
then I do other things.
- Bitch, I'm trying to do everything
in the kitchen sink, bitch.
'Cause I am dancing, bitch.
I have to be compared to her fucking dancing?
And then you, I have to be compared to your dancing?
- It kind of boils down to, who do you want to judge you,
and who do you want to be in a group with?
I'm coming out of not being chosen at all
for the Q girl group challenge.
[laughter]
Well, shit.
Now these bitches that didn't choose me,
that don't see it for me as a performer, as a dancer
or whatever it is, now they're gonna judge me
and possibly be the reason I go home?
I would like to be, you know, separate from Juicy.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So where does that put me as your sister?
Like, should me and Juicy be in the same week?
- If we're on opposite teams,
then you're gonna get one and two.
I wish there was another one of me,
so we could balance it out.
But it wouldn't make sense for all three of us
to be on the same team. - Hell no.
- As we all know, bitch, I was just in the fucking bottom.
I have no other choice but to put some numbers
on the board, girl.
Like, I need something to get me,
to dig me out the bottom.
I'll be willing to vote whatever you vote.
- So then she could be the other me.
- And then, obviously--
- I'll put them one and two, bitch.
- If y'all really agree, because if I find out
the rate a shit, I'ma fight y'all hoes.
- This is gonna come out eventually.
You think I'm gonna lie to your face?
- I would never lie to you about that, bitch.
You know, I got you, bitch.
- My girls come first.
- OK, OK, OK. - 100%.
- Well, then I--then, yeah. - Juicy?
- Yeah?
- Could you come here, please?
Honey, strategy better be at the top of everyone's list.
I don't care if, ooh, I want to play fair,
I want to compete against the best.
Girl, shut up.
Play the motherfucking game.
- If you want to go this week, if I go this week as well--
- And then me and Kenya could be in week two
and put y'all two in our top two spots.
- Perfect.
- And you can put us in your top two spots.
- [laughing]
- When it comes to Rate-A-Queen,
it feels like all bets are off.
Can I borrow you two?
- Yes, I will be back.
- Immediately, I'm thinking, OK, is there an opportunity
for an alliance potentially?
So I'm thinking, perhaps, there could be
a GLAM! alliance, a little strategic maneuver.
- 'Cause all of us are still here.
- Yes, we are the only group that still has everybody here.
- This is true.
- And I love all of us.
- Me too.
I mean, I don't mind that.
I don't mind that, but Athena, then GLAM!?
- Sure.
- If you're cool with that, cool.
- So...
- The ponytail getting tight?
- Girl, my ponytail is getting tight, honey.
Girl, my little ballerina bun, bitch,
is getting real tight over here, girl.
Well, I would say, girl, I have--
I'll say, girl, I can definitely promise you
a top placement as well in the top half.
Bitch. - Are there two?
- Meow.
- [laughing]
- Bitch. Y'all. - This is stressful.
- Nini? Mikey?
[tense music]
- I'm being requested.
- Mm-hmm. - Goodbye.
- Interesting.
- So GLAM! is the only Q-Pop group
that still has everyone here.
- [gasps]
That's so fierce.
- So--well, and it feels correct.
So I was thinking a GLAM! alliance.
- Oh, my God.
- Because if we split ourselves up in the two weeks,
we can support each other for top placements each week.
- Oh, my God, we have the numbers.
- We do have the numbers.
We have five divas.
- I wasn't even really thinking about voting with alliances.
It kind of reminded me, oh, yeah,
there's a bunch of other people playing different games.
So maybe I do need to vote with GLAM! pact.
- We're the only Q-Pop group that has
all of their divas still here.
- Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
- That's a good thing. - That's a great thing.
- Because-- - Well--yeah?
- If we split ourselves three and two--
- Oh.
- Then we have an alliance.
- Oh, oh! Oh, my God, yes.
We thought this game was checkers, baby.
This is chess. - 3D chess.
- Most of y'all are dumb-ass hoes
and don't know how to play chess, so listen.
[laughter]
- We're gonna swing the vote for our GLAM! sisters.
- We're gonna try.
I'm gonna try my best, 'cause I've already made--
- What other promises have you made?
Are you gonna stay loyal?
Sister?
- I am.
- Where are your alliances falling?
Where are your alliances falling?
- Stop it, bitch!
You fucking cunt! Ah!
We're trying to figure out how we're gonna keep GLAM! here
as long as possible.
- OK, we'll talk.
- But I'm also hoping I can trust the Dions with my fate.
- Stakes are high. - High.
Bitch, it is getting--girl, the stakes are so high,
I saw a cow walk by, bitch.
- Moo, we got cows.
- Moo.
I'm like, girl, it is too much.
- I want to get some tea, girl.
I kind of start to take notice if there's
other whispers happening, and then at that point,
I'm like, OK, game on.
I need to figure out what everybody else's
general direction is, because I'm, like,
less concerned of who's on my week
and more about who's watching and understands my POV.
You're thinking week two.
- Yeah.
- Athena is also talking about week two.
Then I am very comfortable with going today.
- And I feel like you'll be fine,
and we can make sure you're fine.
- Love that.
I'm a little nervous that maybe the other girls won't
necessarily see my act as a talent,
but I already know that I want week one,
because I kind of get the feeling
that I might be taken care of.
- I do want to judge fairly, but I'm also at a point
where I do feel the, like, shark fins
in the water around me a bit.
- As we're getting further along,
there are starting to be some, like, personality shifts,
you know what I mean? - Yeah.
- Or some temperatures being turned up.
- Yeah.
- So I haven't spoken to you.
- Yeah. [laughing]
- Sorry. I'm coming in a little hot.
- I was like, OK.
- Speaking of the temperature being turned up.
Everyone's playing their game.
- Sure.
- All right, I was like, yeah. - What are you doing?
- Yeah, I was like, OK, I just got swatted.
- I'll leave.
Like, this is--this is crazy.
[laughter]
- Talk to me.
What's the tea?
What are the birdies saying? - I don't know.
There's a lot of talk, a lot of people making deals.
Obviously, you're my priority, and I want you in the top.
- I'm not being shy about anything.
I think it's no secret that, like, I'm gonna put you
in the number one spot.
And if somebody has a problem afterwards and say,
well, you didn't play fair, I'm gonna look at them
straight in the eye and say, "Did you really think
"I was gonna put my daughter less
because you did 'a better job'?"
That's where I stand, and I'm pretty fine with that.
- Agreed, agreed.
We are the most hated girls in Miami.
- There goes congeniality.
[laughter]
- All right, let's figure this out, ladies.
- We're all headed to the couch to duke it out,
to figure out who's performing on week one,
who's performing on week two,
and I can see the wheels turning.
People are thinking about who's performing in week two
that'll vote for me in week one.
And I'm not gonna lie, I'm thinking the same thing.
- What do we think is the fairest way to do this?
Should we each say which week we prefer and go from there?
- I think it'll be best to raise hands,
so we can all get a visual of who
prefers to go with which week.
- OK.
- Week one preference divas.
♪ ♪
- The GLAM! group talked to each other,
and we're like, well, let's help each other out.
But that is a lot of people for an alliance.
So as soon as I see all the dancers in one group,
I go, hell no.
I'll go--I can go week two.
- So we have Nini, Vita, Mia, Juicy, Darlene, and Ciara
all want to go week one.
- How many is that? - Six.
- That's six. - OK, let's go with that.
- All right. - Boom.
- Love.
- Let's go with that.
- Are--OK.
[tense music]
- Nini is thinking about it.
- Yeah, I'm on the fence. - Yeah.
- I'm torn between going in week one or week two,
because I'm really nervous,
and I just want to get it over with.
But at the same time,
I might have a better chance to win
if I go week two, because I won't be
fighting all the dancing divas.
I know that's not the lane that I'm trying to be in,
but I'm not sure if I can compete with that.
- Nini--Nini, are you comfortable with that?
- I think so.
- Are you on the fence, or how are you feeling?
- Yeah, I could go--
I could go either way.
I'm just--

Girl, I'm trying to help you out.
Bitch, you're worried about me not voting for you.
How I'ma vote for you, bitch, if you're on the same week?
Like, America, does that make sense?
So--so what are you doing? - Nini, you can go week two.
I think in the lineup, I think that is good.
That means there's three GLAM! sisters
in week two and two GLAM! sisters in week one.
My odds seem pretty good with that alliance.
- We'll give you a second to decide.
- OK. - Oh, my God.
- I can't tell if this is a strategy thing.
Like, is Nini crunching the numbers in real time?
Does she just not know what the fuck she wants to do?
Is she nervous about going in the same week as somebody?
Does she have an alliance with somebody?
I don't know what the fuck Nini's doing.
Nini, you could leave. [laughter]
- Not Nini go home.
- I was kind of settling on week two
so that I could vote for GLAM!
But I'm starting to feel like not everybody's
on the same page about this GLAM! pact,
and I just have to look out for myself.
I think I would rather get it over with.
Let's go week one.
- OK.
- Well, we have officially--
RuPaul, are you listening?
Week one talent show:
Nini, Vita, Juicy, Mia, Ciara, and Darlene Mitchell.
- OK.

Discord, Jane, Kenya, Myki Meeks, and Athena.
Sisters, how we feeling?
- Good. - Feeling good.
- Hey! - We have a talent show, y'all.
- I can't wait to Rate-A-Queen.
- The shadiness.
- Now that it's already decided,
I'm second guessing if I made the right choice,
but the decision has been made.
We're gonna suffer the consequences.
- Let's get ready to rumble.
- Let's get ready to rumble for the season 18
talent show extravaganza.

- How do y'all feel that the talent show
is happening so much later in the competition?
- It's a gag. Gagged.
[overlapping chatter]
- I think it's fun.
I think it raises the stakes a little bit.
- We also all know each other a bit more already.
Like, it's not exactly a first impression.
- Is anybody's talent completely different than
what they've been showing us?
I feel like Ciara, you-- this is the first time
you're getting, like, more dramatic, right?
- Yeah.
Mine is pretty serious.
- OK.
- The poem that I wrote for my talent
is personal, and it's vulnerable and raw.
And it's a scary thing to share this piece of me
with my sisters that maybe I haven't opened up about yet.
This is something that is really real and raw
and important, and so I want to share that today.
- I think Megami had the same thought.
- Oh. - You're right.
But she had an unseamed flag
and not an original lyric in sight.
So. - Oh.

Category is, Not Today Satin.
Up first, Ciara Myst.
Ah, Rosemary's Baby is all grown up.
I guess she has her father's horns and her mother's hooves.
[laughing]
- We're not just wearing satin.
We are Satan.
For any of you seamstresses out there, satin,
we know she's a bitch.
So this dress, she was a demon from hell to make.
I'm always giving a little bit of fashion
with a little bit of horror.
Get into, The Devil Wears Ciara.
- Never trust a girl who wears cloven hooves.
- Up next, Juicy Love Dion.
- I'm in the mood for roughage.
- How's your head? Of lettuce.
- For this runway look, my designer and I
have decided to take satin into this gorgeous
carnivorous plant.
I'm just showing the judges every angle
of this perfect outfit.
It's very structured, very tall,
a little difficult to walk in.
But guess what.
I look fucking incredible.
- Feed me, Seymour.
- Uh, Venus, your flytrap is open.
[laughter]
Nini Coco.
- Ooh, I'm seeing stars.
- I wonder if she's ever helped a lost seaman.
- Oh, a few.
- Oh, lots.
- Satin is a material that I hate working with.
So this is a commission from another
drag artist that I love.
It's my first time wearing a look
created by somebody else,
and they brought the vision to life 100%.
My drag has always felt high femme,
alien creature-esque vibe.
But this time, I feel exceptionally
out of this world, bitch.
- Word on the street is
Nini gives good coral.
[laughter]
- Vita VonTesse.
- She earned everything.
- You heard of the Emerald City?
- Uh-huh.
- Well them some emerald titties.
- Yes. Thank you very much.
- I am gliding down this runway
as gracefully as I know how,
as if I am floating on air.
Full, glamorous, head to toe look in emerald green
Mikado satin, gold jewels draped across my bosom,
emerald green eleganza.
- I didn't know we had a Golden Glove winner here.
- Make it a double.
- I always do.
- [laughing]
Darlene Mitchell.
- Hope she's bringing a casserole.
- [laughing]
Ruched for his pleasure.
- [laughs]
- This is a major departure in terms of what is
my usual drag aesthetic.
I can't help but to tear this skirt off...
- This is Cinderella after she got to the ball.
- And in true Darlene fashion,
reveal this cute little satin party dress.
I've taken the critique about the shoes,
and I upgraded or downgraded.
But they are satin, so I feel like they fit the brief.
- She didn't lose her glass slipper.
She lost her virginity.
- Ooh!
- Mama said you're gonna be a star,
a Mia Starr.
- Oh, Bo, you didn't.
- Ooh, Christmas came early, all over her tits.
[laughter]
- This look to me is very special
because my drag mother made this.
And I'm just so happy that I'm able to bring
a piece of her with me along this journey.
I am wearing the finest red satin, tit to ankle.
I am the treetop on that Christmas tree, baby,
the biggest bow, bow tie pasta!
[laughter]
- What I love about Mia, she's really present.
[laughter]
- Myki Meeks.
- I think her ribbon is slightly erect.
[laughter]
- Myki Meeks stars in The Lady Wore Satin.
I am wrapped with this icy blue satin ribbon.
I'm giving over the top glamour.
This is one of my favorite outfits.
I'm selling it like it is the ultimate showstopper.
- The leather and satin.
- Is that what you call Michelle and I?
- Uh-huh. - It's Leather and Satin.
- Yeah. You're the leather, obviously.
- No, actually, Michelle is the leather.
- Oh, darn it.
- [laughing]
Athena Dion.
- Two words, think pink.
- I'm giving an homage
to one of my favorite movies of all time,
"To Wong Fu," Chi-chi Rodriguez.
I've got my pink satin turban on.
My look is completely made of satin,
and I can't say the same for some of the other
girls on the runway.
Tell me this pink isn't the most shocking
color you've ever seen.
And the rhinestone placement?
Chef's kiss, honey.
- I finished with the bedroom.
Now let me get to the kitchen.
- Yes.
- The question remains, Kenya Pleaser?
- Terra cotta's terra hotta.
- They're not satin pillows, Mother.
They're called breasts.
[laughter]
- I'm feeling my island girl vibe,
ready for a vacation.
I'm feeling really satiny.
But most of all, bitch, I'm feeling grateful.
The designer was not able to give me my outfit on time.
I did not have anything.
So Jane gave me this oversized coat
that just so happened to be made completely
out of satin that can fit me.
And, girl, I sewed it up
and made it into this dress, honey.
It is giving me a little Thanksgiving realness.
But, Jane, thank you so much.
You saved my life, bitch.
- Well, she's definitely an autumn.
- Up next, Jane Don't.
- Oh, she's a dirty birdie.
- [laughs] - Take that, Bjork.
[laughter]
- I'm walking down the runway,
giving very woman with a bird on her vibes.
I've had this bird for a few years.
Her name is Denise.
She's a wife, a mother, and she's
looking to get back out there.
This look is very Jane fashiony and grandiose
and also kind of silly.
- That's gonna be delicious tonight.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, fry me up some
and put some of that hot honey on it.
[laughter]
Discord Addams.
- Ooh, she's so extra, extra.
- You know her favorite section of the paper?
- What is it?
- The hoe-bituaries.
[laughter]
- I wanted to look like I just
rolled out of a dumpster,
covered in every single satin dress
that's ever been thrown away.
I have custom-printed satin newspaper hit against my chest
like the wind has just smacked it against me.
I am strutting down the runway.
And as I make my way back, the train
is now my own personal runway.
[laughter]
- Why don't you come over here and bury the lede?
[laughter]
- Welcome to part one of the Rate-A-Queen Talent Show.
First up, she's poetry in motion.
It's Ciara Myst.
[soft music]
- I hate myself today,
this nothing I've become.
This hard, yet weak, this cold, this bleak,
this nothing I've become.
[screams] It hurts to rearrange,
endure the growing pains of change.
I ask myself, could I be more than this nothing I've become?
My mind goes blank.
Bones break.
Turn to liquid, unformed.
Will I survive to be revived so I might be reformed
as someone happy, someone kind,
someone who I recognize?
Spark is built upon the shards of their life reclaimed.
And suddenly it comes flooding back,
the light I once knew.
Remembering how to smile,
I feel its warmth
as I break through, reborn.
- Hey!
- And for the first time in a long time,
I know who I am.
This power, this joy,
this strength, this love,
this beauty I've become.

All right, now just between us squirrel friends,
what do you think?
Now listen, the queens are rating each other,
but I want to know what you think.
Up first, Ciara.
- I thought that performance told us a lot about her.
Because so far, she's kind of been the wacky one.
And this told us a little bit more
of who she is, what she represents.
- I did think she looked beautiful,
especially when she ripped apart the outfit.
She made me want a McRib real bad.
- Mm. - It's been a minute.
- But it was almost like the costume was the talent.
The words--
- This nothing I've become.
- It didn't even really settle into my body
until maybe afterwards.
- I just was sort of in the mood for, like,
a death drop and get me on my feet, and it wasn't that.
But it was beautiful.
I applaud somebody who comes here and takes a big swing
and a risk, but I don't know that poetry translates
super well on this runway.
- Unless a poem starts with, there was a man from Nantucket.
[laughter]
Juicy Love Dion.
- What a performer.
I loved everything about it.
- That's what I want to see. Right?
She had a point of view.
It wasn't just dancing.
There was a character.
She was a robot.
It's like she turned into a little drag Roomba,
going around the floor.
[laughter]
- The execution was 10 out of 10.
I also loved that that she didn't need
any extras on stage.
She showed up, she ate.
She did. - Yeah.
And I loved the fact that even though she was lip syncing
and all that, she sold it.
She really acted out every syllable of her song,
and I was here for that.
- I would hate to lip sync next to her.
- [laughs] All right.
Nini Coco.
- This was one of my favorites,
both the runway look and the talent show.
It's fun.
It's someone who likes to play.
- It was so silly and so entertaining
and beautifully executed.
That is what I love about drag.
I thought she was amazing.
- Mm. Mm-hmm.
- Like, take the whole hilarious performance out of it
and just look at her in that praying mantis outfit.
The costume, the fit, the makeup.
It is top tier drag.
- And she threw a back handspring in there,
not to be outdone by Juicy.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- This was a smart act to do.
- If biology classes was like that,
maybe I would have graduated high school.
- Yeah. Me too!
Yes. - You've got a good point.
You should be a teacher. [laughter]
- Yeah. Maybe.
I love that. - All right.
Vita VonTesse. - OK.
Here was my problem.
She was in a gym.
She looked great, but she looked like I look
when I try to go to the gym-- like, slightly confused,
I don't really want to be there,
and I just really want a cookie.
[laughter] You know?
It's almost like she was second guessing herself
in the moment.
- She dropped her lip sync quite a few times.
She kept looking away, upside down, behind her.
And I don't think that is a really
smart thing to do when you've got
one minute to sell yourself.
- We've seen queens come out here and do aerobics routines.
So if you're gonna do that,
you have got to knock our socks off,
and she didn't, not this time.
Let's talk about Darlene Mitchell.
- The performance I thought was super fun and super cute.
Could she have pushed it further?
Absolutely.
But she's got something really special
and really charming.
- I was having a good time.
I wish it was longer.
I mean, they only have, what, 60 seconds?
So I would have loved to see an even longer set,
and maybe then pushing it further.
- Some of the queens have been able to do a story arc...
- Yeah.
- In that 60 seconds that really makes it feel--
- The praying mantis. - Yeah.
They make it actually feel like there's
a full story being told there.
- Yes.
- I have to talk about the runway.
OK, so when I was growing up, I always wanted a Barbie.
So I took my brother's GI Joe and then made dresses
for them out of, you know, tissues and things like that.
My dresses looked like her dress.
- [laughing]
- Thank you!
It just looked like a little amateur hour.
- Uh-huh.
- I think she's better than that.
- I do.
There's something about the hair that speaks to me.
- What's it saying?
[laughter] Take me off!
[laughter]
- All right. Mia Starr.
- I love when a performer just bitch-slaps me and just--
- Yeah.
- Tells me, you don't know shit.
[laughter] Right?
And that's what she did.
She just was like, come over here.
Don't worry about it. I got it.
And I didn't.
She--she was perfection.
You know, she moves in a way that, for me,
is instantly iconic and recognizable.
You know? - Yeah.
- That's how she dances.
Anybody else dances like that, they're copying her.
- She had two songs in one.
She went from, like, the one rap rhythm
to, like, the 2 Live Crew rap rhythm.
I was so down for that.
All of us were having the best time
when she was doing her performance.
- Mm-hmm.
Two big titties, two amazing songs.
- [laughing]
- Why have one when you can have two?
- I thought you didn't like poetry.
[laughter]
- So, judges, I want to know
your bottom two and your top two.
- Oh. - OK?
- OK.
- My top are Juicy and Mia.
Bottom two for me are Vita and probably Ciara.
- I'm gonna go Juicy and Mia for top two.
My bottom would be Ciara and Vita.
- I guess if I had to put bottoms,
then it would be Darlene and Vita.
My top two, Mia Starr and Juicy Love Dion.
Although I do love the praying mantis,
I do love that Nini, but those are my top three.

I am docking some points because I have seen it before.
- In second position,

Her talent had me hyped as hell.
both: In third position...
- Darlene Mitchell.
Her talent show was a hoot.
- Darlene's number was great.
It was very silly.
It was very her.
- And she looked like a damn supermodel in her runway.

Her song is something I would listen to
on a day-to-day basis.

- I'm putting Ciara Myst.
Ciara had a beautiful talent.
I do think there were a few slip-ups.
I don't think the reveals were as strong
as she wanted them to be.
- In fourth position, I am going to put
Vita VonTesse Starr.
I really enjoyed watching Vita perform.
My plan is to vote 98% honestly
and 2% to keep my girl Vita safe.
- Fourth position.
I'm at a crossroads right now.
Nini did a great job.
Vita, as much as I love her, I just can't say
it was the same level as Nini's.
Oh, wait.
Neither of these bitches picked me
for their Q girl group, did they?

Fuck these hoes.
Give 'em both the sixth place spot.
- Fifth position. - In fifth position,
I'm gonna put Vita VonTesse Starr.
I love Vita so much,
but I don't think this was her strongest performance
that I've ever seen.
- In fifth position, I'm gonna have to go
with my bestie, Ms. Ciara Myst.
Her runway walk was a little clunky.
Her performance did fall a little flat for me,
and I really hate to say that,
because this is my conceptual sister, honey.
We had an alliance, but in my opinion,
Ciara had the weakest talent show.
But I could not put her last, girl.
- In fifth position,
I'm putting Vita VonTesse Starr.
The concept is not my favorite.
I feel like we've seen it before,
and I do think flat sneakers are a bit unforgivable.
- And last but not least--
- In sixth position, Ciara Myst.
Your runway was the least best of everybody
I had to watch today.
- Is Darlene Mitchell.
Her performance,
I just did not find the song funny.
- In sixth position, I'm putting Darlene Mitchell.
There were funny moments in the talent.
It was good, but I think she was outdone by her sisters.
And in the same way, in the runway,
I don't think it was Darlene's night.
Oh, fuck.

The fact that I'm able to stand toe to toe
with this young tenderoni bitch,
this is so exciting.

You are both winners, baby.
- Yes!

it is my motherfucking titi, one of my biggest inspirations.
Mia, you ate that.

Next week, the tables will be turned

And one queen will be eliminated.

are gonna be a part of it.
And, candidly, I have to think strategically
for myself as well.
I am not ready to leave this competition.
- Do you have someone in particular that you feel?
[dramatic music]
- There is a sense of ranks kind of being closed.
It's not a comfortable feeling to be on the outside of that.
