I was gonna say if you stay puft,
you ain't gotta get puft.
- Okay. - And it would have been
perfect, you know what I mean?
- Oh, my God.
Loosey did a really good job,
but girl, okay,
let's calm down-- you're doing a lot.
- That's why I'm so mad at them!
I-I'm safe. I'm so mad.
- Okay, girl.
- I'm sorry that I'm not getting over this.
I really feel like I was justified
in being in the top.
I thought it was a definite that I was gonna be in the top.
and when I heard that I was safe, I was really upset.
- I feel like runways really play a big role

whatever.
- This week being an acting challenge,
I feel like none of us were worried.
But do we think that we saw any worry
in any other girls' faces
or, uh, for sure, I mean, the three of us
were in the same scene.
We went over there, chatting, chatting, chatting.
We had no clue that somehow
Mistress swiped in and took the biggest part.
- They had to pry him off of me.
It was rigor mortis. Like, I don't--
I'm not connecting to that line.
- I feel like you would do Widow better.
- Do you wanna do Fancy?
- But she also didn't get the Widow.
- I don't think that she would have excelled
as anyone in the challenge,
if I'm being real, just based off of
how she was acting as the Widow.
She would have brought that same amount of energy,
but wrong energy and "enthusiasm" into any part.
- To that man,
a hole...was a hole.
- Widow, "For that man, any hole is a goal."
- Any hole is a goal.
Not a hole. - Yes.
- For that man, any hole is goal.
- All I could think about was my feet hurt so bad.
Please get this right. - Get this right.
- Oh, the ladies! - Hey, girls.
[overlapping greetings] - Oh, mamas!
- This outfit makes me wanna go skiing.
- 'Cause she's not in the top,
Loosey is ready to crack, honey.
- Make some room.
- So here we go.
This is gonna be interesting.
Are you getting into the gag?
- Let's get right into it.
Okay, lemme just say I'm for sure
gonna be in the bottom of two,
probably lip-syncing.
They told me that
I was committed to my acting
but didn't land the jokes.
- You didn't pop for me. - Yeah.
- And you were the widow of Big Daddy,
so you could've been really histrionic and over the top.
- It was also difficult to direct you
because you had come with a set idea...
- Yeah. - And it just wasn't working.
- It just sucks that I was in the top last week,
and now I'm like lingering in the bottom.
I know I could have pushed harder.
- Are you a pusher? Do you push people?
- [laughs] I will push you off the cliff
if you don't shut up.
- So, Spi-chey. - I love you.
- How was it for you? - Yeah, I mean, it was
pretty, like, neutral.
What I got from them was that
it was a little one-note, and I was like, baby,
if you want one-note, I can give you one-note.
- ♪ Ohh ♪ - ♪ Eh...♪
- What about the ♪ Ah ♪
Was that good? Was that one-note?
- Let's move on. Um...
- They also mentioned something about your runway walk.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It's literally choreographed
the same thing, every single time.
Bored.
- You know what, I will hang it up.
Sugar's gonna be devastated, but, um...
- Miss Dreamy? - Um, they...
[laughter, chatter]
He just said that I did great and I was so funny.
He loved me...
and I loved him
right back again!
[laughter] And, uh,
I did a lotta ad-libbing and a lotta improv,
and, like, everyone was funny and everything hit.
- Yeah. Not a lotta people can pull that off.
- Yeah. They were gagging. They were livin'.
- I'm hoping for my first win,
but with my luck, you never know.
So I'll cut up once it happens.
- But will you gather them? - The Reverend
will gather them, the Reverend will gather them.
Reverend, gather her.
- Ooh!
- Anetra, give the tea.
- In the challenge, they thought that
we worked really well together.
- Yeah, I mean, they basically critiqued us as a pair.
They were basically like,
"Anarcia, you two were great."
- Georgie, would you like a brownie?
I made 'em with walnuts.
- Get those nuts away from my face!
- Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you're a lesbian.
- Anarcia, Anarcia, Anarcia, Anarcia.
- Anarcia, Anarcia, Anarcia.
- Jax? - Um,
I'm definitely in the bottom.
It was just that I faded into the background.
But there was like just a few lines,
and I just missed the no on getting the joke across.
Oh...party!
I think I got strung up in what I read
as the character description, which was supposed to be
like a stoner girl?
- Well, 'cause it was meant to be a funny stoner girl.
- Yeah. It's just, you know,
I'm just--I'm in my head a little bit right now,
and I'm trying to get out of it, 'cause...
you know, we're all great at what we do.
It's just I'm not an actor.
Making myself the louder voice in the room--
we have to stand out, and the pack of girls
is just something that I... - It isn't natural.
- It's not natural for me. - And not every drag queen
has to be the loud-- da, da, da, da in the room.
- Yeah. - We should all be different,
you know? - But at the end of the day,
it's like, while I agree with that,
this is a competition, and if you need to be
the loudest person in the room,
you gotta be the loudest person in the room, so...
- Malaysia, how do you feel about your critique?
- Miss Lemon Drop. Come on, Malaylay.
- They loved everything about me.
[overlapping murmurs] And I was like just you know.
I had really, you know, great critiques.
- Good. - They love my look,
they love, like, my performance.
It's definitely how to be a mistress.
Let me in!
[dramatic chords] Ha ha ha ha ha!
[laughter]
- Francine Michaels,
the town sinner!
- Like Ru said... - You guys could have
your own spinoff.
- Like "Perfect Strangers"?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Ha ha ha ha!
- I'm pissed. - Well, now let's get into
'why you're pissed, 'cause I need to know.
- Here we go.
- I thought it was a definite that I was gonna be in the top,
and when I heard that I was safe, I was really upset.
- Oh, my God.
- After hearing their critiques and everything,
I do agree that you were very good,
but I feel like runways really play
a big role in, like, the deciding factors
of everything as well.
- You didn't like my runway? - No, I think your runway
is cute. I just feel like you could
maybe have a little bit more puffer.
- I disagree.
I disagree.
- This scenario definitely feels like Metalgate.
I'm watching Loosey be Malaysia.
They act like, "I could do anything."
They victimize themselves.
It's a running theme.
- It's a little hard coming into a challenge
knowing that it's my strength and that I did really well
but that I wasn't in the top.
- Now that we've been here for a couple weeks,
they, like, know what our skill sets are.
So in a acting challenge,
I think the bar for you is probably just
really, really high. - Already there.
- And you didn't, like,
blow them out of the water.
- Right. - I just think
I did better than safe.
- Got it.
- But... - What can you do?
- Whatever. - Another week, baby.
Another week.
- Hello. - Hi!
- Welcome, welcome, welcome.
- Hi! So cute!
- I love you in "What We Do in the Shadows."
Oh, my God. - You know, the whole cast
is a huge fan of "Drag Race."
- Ah. - Okay!
- Girl.
- Roll "Untucked" cameras in the Workroom.
- Copy.
- I love you in "What We Do in the Shadows."
- I love you so much. - Oh, my God.
- Oh, my gosh, thank you.
- You're amazing in that show. - Thank you.
- I'm so excited that you're here.
- You know, the whole cast is a huge fan of "Drag Race."
Natasia and I talk about the show all the time.
You know, she's from the UK,
but she loves the American girls even more, I'll say.
- Okay! - Ooh!
- Oh, my God, I'm so excited
to watch you just, like, shine as the season progresses,
'cause there's so many talented queens this season.
Entertainment is like the biggest gift
we can give to each other.
When I first got started in acting,
there wasn't a lot of roles, because I'm queer.
I'm plus-size. I'm all these Xs
and checkmarks that were marked against me
for a long time, 'cause we live in a society
that does that, right? Do you know what I mean?
And so I don't wanna be a stereotype, you know?
Don't get it wrong-- I like to play
like a sassy, bigger-than-life character
that's queer and whatnot.
But I also like to do roles that challenge me.
You wanna be versatile.
You wanna be something to everybody.
- Love it.
- What is some advice you could give us?
'Cause I feel like a lot of our challenges
revolve around improv.
- Always be willing to go the distance.
Always "yes, and..." That's the rule of thumb
for improv.
So be grounded in the moment, in the character.
Because your answer will always be in character.
So, like with "What We Do in the Shadows,"
like Guillermo, we improvise 50% of that show.
- Wow. - And they give you the freedom
to, like, "You know what you're saying,
you know where you gotta get." - That's so cool.
- 'Cause sometimes you get so tongue-twisted in the words,
and we wanna say those words. - And like, there's--
I'm sorry, but there was always like
those, like, writers on... - Yeah.
Oh, they're so picky. - That are so picky
about making it like exactly the word.
- Yeah. We get so scared when we're, like,
seeing someone's work, like,
I don't wanna mess up their lines,
'cause that's what they wrote.
There's always a conversation to be had.
You can always say, hey, question, do you mind
if I change this and to-- is that okay?
And if they say, "Absolutely not,
because I need that because--"
But if there's no logic behind it, they'll be like,
"Oh, yeah, yeah, go ahead."
Ask for what you want, 'cause you deserve it,
and demand it. - Ask, and you'll receive.
- Yes! [door opens]
- Justin, get out of this room right now.
- I'm so sorry, queens. I've gotta take Harvey back
to the main stage. - No!
- Justin, why are you doing this?
That's homophobic!
- Ha ha ha! Oh, I love you, queens.
- See you in the shadows!
- I definitely needed to hear
some of his advice about comedy,
about improv, 'cause those are my weaknesses.
Maybe in the future, I can implement that
and be better. [laughs]
I'm just not a funny gal.

And like a little sinful. - Gorgeous skin, too.
- I'm gonna stand up and listen to
this lip-sync song a little bit right now.
- Yeah. I actually sang. Someone help me up.
Uhh.
- If we're talking about runway looks
being a judgment call in this-- - Then I should be safe.
- Sasha Colby is standing. - Huh?
- Sasha, shut up. Oh, God. I love you so much.
- Here's my question.
When Spice and I were getting our makeup on,
we were noticing that the two of y'all were talking
and you were talking about last week.
Do you feel like you've, like,
squashed last week and moved on?
- Yes. Definitely. - Oh, yeah. For sure.
- That's great.
Like, we went through that last week and then, like, this week,
you two have moved on and you all killed it in the challenge.
And you're in the top two.
And I wish I was there too. But--[laughs]
- Queens, five-minute warning, five-minute warning.
- Whoo! - No.
