[singing] ♪ MTV ♪
[drag queen 1] I love every last one of you,
no matter how much I hate all of y'all.
[drag queen 2] If you don't have star quality,
get the fuck out of here.
[drag queen 3] This is your moment!
Have it!
[RuPaul] This is "Untucked,"
backstage of the competition
to become America's next drag superstar.
Girl, if you're not watching "Untucked,"
you're only getting half the story.
[woman] Prep "Untucked" cameras on the main stage.
-[man 1] Copy.
-[man 2] Rolling. -[man 3] Rolling.
[RuPaul] Marcia Marcia Marcia,
Anetra,
you are both safe.
You may leave the stage.
[dramatic music]
[Marcia] Honestly, my look is not my strongest.
I feel a little self-conscious
because I do not have a challenge win yet.
But I have to keep going,
and I have to keep pushing myself,
and I have to keep stepping outside of my box.
[Anetra] I'm safe, but honestly, I wish I was in the top
because I feel like my garment is quite sickening.
I'm giving you royal queen bee realness.
I wanna start pushing for that top spot.
It's been too long since I've had a win,
and I want another one.
[woman] Repo "Untucked" cameras to the Werk Room.
[man] Send the queens in three, two, one.
[laughter]
Whoo!
-[Marcia] God. -Yes!
-Top seven, girl. -Top seven.
-[Marcia] Some bubly. -[Anetra] So many choices.
[Marcia] I'll take it.
It's literally two of us. It's hilarious.
Marcia, we made it, bitch.
[Marcia] I know, top seven.
[Anetra] Top seven.
Ah.
Mmm.
What do you think is going on out there?
Um, I have no idea what's gonna happen.
I think Loosey's in the top.
Lord knows if she doesn't win,
-she's gonna freak out. -[laughter]
-She's gonna lose her mind. -[Anetra] She's gonna have
-a mental breakdown. -She's gonna hit somebody.
-[laughs] -[Marcia] I will say,
Mistress seemed a little shaken up.
I mean, I can understand why, 'cause she kind of had
a difficult person to work with,
-somebody like Connie. -Who's, like, goofin' off.
The conversation didn't really, like, lead anywhere.
It was very fun. It was very, like, entertaining.
But I just feel like a really important part
of this challenge was to make, like,
a genuine connection with the person.
Mm-hmm. So I think bottom.
Bottom. I mean, I had Charo,
who famously has, like, a ginormous personality.
-[Anetra] Mm-hmm. -She talks a mile a minute.
I wish you grew up like me.
I grew up free like bird.
What is she doing on top of a tree?
-They call the police. -Oh, great. [laughs]
How old are you really?
That's a, kind of, a rude question, but...
-[laughs] -I came to America
with Christopher Columbus.
I was a little nervous going into it because I was, like,
I really hope I can get to a point with her
where things can be, like, a little more serious
or a little more heartfelt.
And I think I got there.
Did you have fun with it?
Yeah. I feel good.
I mean, of course I would love to be out there and, like,
getting critique and, like, learning and growing,
especially 'cause we're nearing the finale.
I know.
I don't have a win yet.
-And that's-- -You don't have a win yet?
-[Marcia] I don't have a win yet. -I didn't realise that.
No, yeah, so I-- I'm really hoping for that Rusical, girl.
I'm really hoping for that Rusical.
Yeah, I feel like you would really shine.
You're such a thespian at heart.
[scoffs] I'm a what?
A thespian.
-[Marcia] Okay. -Lipstick thespian.
[cackles] Lipstick thespian.
Work.
-[gasps] Oh! -[Marcia] Oh, my God!
[Anetra] Okay.
-What is this? -Ooh.
I'm scared to ask.
[Marcia] Are they all the same?
-[Anetra] Yes. -[Marcia] See a lot of faces
-coming in that are all look different. -[Anetra] So good today.
-[Marcia] Hi, baby. -[Anetra] So who wants to start?
So to my surprise, I'm in the top.
I can't really believe it.
Like, their critiques were really amazing.
-Okay. -[Mistress] They said they loved
my entire interview, that I really embodied Connie.
They loved the outfit, of course.
And, like, I think I have this one in the bag.
Fierce.
[laughing]
-Oh, it was not true. -Yeah!
Girl, let's-- No, it was not fucking true.
-Oh, girl. Pssh. -[Mistress] Girl, it was the full--
Exactly how I thought it was gonna be.
I already knew walking in what it was.
I'm not delusional.
Well, what'd they say?
It's definitely gonna be me versus Malaysia.
-[Marcia] Really? -[Mistress] I'm not gonna let
any of this pry on my emotions.
I fucked up. It is what it is.
Right now, I am just kind of devastated
because I didn't imagine myself in this position.
And I'm pissed off for allowing myself
to get in my head, so I'm trying to just be calm.
But, baby, this is definitely a hard one.
Going into it, I think I walked in a little anxious.
And I think with Love Connie,
her persona is so different.
So when it came time to do the interview,
she was already acting fucking crazy--
which is her persona, no tea, like, have fun with it--
but I had went in with a different mindset.
Yeah.
I think most people would be shocked
to know that you love to frost cupcakes.
Connie makes her own little chocolate drops
from her own little factory.
[Mistress] What is that, a rosebud?
Or a prolapse.
I keep thinking I have been
scratching my ass or something here.
I don't know what is going on.
She actually was funny.
But I second-guessed myself,
and I fucked up, and it happens.
If I was a real bad bitch,
I would've gathered up the interview,
and it would've been fine regardless.
No tea.
They did compliment you so much though on top of that.
[Mistress] Yeah. But I was already
disappointed with how everything went.
[tense music]
And, like, I just know how I get when I'm mad.
And I'm trying to just not say nothing,
so it is what it is.
-Malaysh? -[Malaysia] Well,
it's my first time in the bottom.
And, I mean, although the critiques aren't horrible,
the judges noticed my delivery was, like, a little off.
Were you scared of this challenge?
Not necessarily scared.
I think, like you say, he has a big personality.
I was kind of taken aback.
Look how big your personality is with what you came out in.
You have to display that in the challenge.
And you from Dade County, girl.
Uh-uh. You gotta do better, girl.
At least I had a very strong runway.
I know I'm going up against the best of the best.
Like, all of us are amazing.
Being in the bottom and lip syncing
is a part of this competition.
So I just gotta do what I gotta do.
Salina?
Um, I'm definitely not the top three. I'm the bottom three.
They said I wasn't listening enough.
-I would, like, cut him off... -Gotcha.
-[Salina] ...to start a new conversation. -Gotcha, gotcha.
[Salina] So I totally get that.
I just-- If I'm in the bottom again,
it's gonna be, like, my name's written in stone,
like, there's no hope for me here, because it's, like,
I can't get out of this bottom situation.
But if I'm safe tonight,
at least it was just design challenges.
You know what I mean?
At the end of the day, we're in a competition,
and we're thrown things that we don't do on a daily basis.
So it's the name of the game.
Like, somebody gotta be in the bottom,
somebody gotta be in the top.
I'm more so just annoyed with myself
because this is my first time in the bottom,
and it's like, a big flop.
This is the first time my city's been on the show.
And, like, it's really important for me to, like,
represent my drag family.
Like, it's just a lot of, like, pressure.
I feel the same exact way. This the first time, like,
somebody from where I'm from been on the show,
so I feel like I wanna be a very strong representative.
I wanna be inspiring to the people
that look at me from my city.
Of course it sucks to be in the bottom.
We just have to give them an amazing show
if it's me and you. Like, bitch.
But that's the other thing too, it's, like,
it sucks that I'm going against Malaysia
because we are the big girls of the competition.
And I think that we've both been
so strong going through it.
And then I'm at a disadvantage. I'm in a fucking gown.
Bitch, we both got on girdles and all kind of other stuff.
And my wig weigh about the same size as you,
so it's like I'm carrying you
on my head during this lip sync.
But I'm just definitely gonna put my best foot forward.
And I would hope that you would do the same.
That's the thing. I would never give up.
Okay. That's what I wanna hear.
Regardless of what happens, I'm still the baddest bitch.
No, I'm the baddest bitch, but I mean,
I'ma let you have that.
[laughs]
Okay, so I guess I will go.
Um, I got really good critiques.
They were obsessed with the runway look.
-Of course. -Um, RuPaul said
that Bob Mackie would be proud of my look
and that this is an iconic look for me.
They really liked my interview and how well I conversed
with someone who was as big of a personality as Connie.
[Marcia] I don't really know how you could've done that.
-I don't either. -Luxx confidence.
-Luxx-fidence. -Luxx-fidence.
[laughter]
[all] Luxx Nation!
-Aww. -Wait, what is this?
-[all] Hey, Luxx! -[Luxx screams]
-[Luxx's mom] Hey, Luxx. -Oh, my God!
[Luxx's mom] I miss you so much.
I'm Luxx's mom.
I just wanted to say that, ever since you was little,
we knew you were gonna be a star.
I know you're killing it right now.
And I just wanna let you know that we're so proud of you.
I love you no matter what you do in life.
Like, always know that Mommy and Daddy
and your family is gonna be there to support you
in every way possible.
That's right, Luxx. This is Luxx's dad.
I just wanna tell you, Luxx, I miss you so much.
I love you so much. And I'm so proud of you.
You're a superstar. You kill 'em, girl.
Slay. I love you, baby.
He called me "girl".
Hi, love. I miss you so much.
I know you're out there killing it.
We're so proud of you.
Can't say that enough.
Bring home the crown.
All I gotta say is, you better work.
[laughter]
[all] Aww.
-Oh, my God. -How you feeling about that?
I just, like--
It just makes me so happy.
Proud of how far I've come in the competition,
in my drag career, in my life.
It goes to show, just don't, like, quit
because it's, like, it will get better.
-That was so beautiful. -[Marcia] It really was.
Yeah, I think that's the most real I've seen you.
If I haven't shown that I've been insecure at all
in the competition, I definitely have,
because it's just, like, you just don't know.
But it's, like, you have to put on the confidence sometimes.
To just see everybody in my corner rooting for me
when, like, for the longest,
I just felt like I only had myself in my corner,
it was just, like, a very surreal experience.
I'm so grateful.
It is very sweet to see
how far my relationship with my parents has come,
because a couple years ago,
I would never even think that they would be interested
in rooting Luxx on for anything.
So to see them all there, cheering me on,
really just means a lot.
I'm glad that I have the support system
that I have now because I always didn't have it.
Or maybe I did have it,
and I just didn't feel like I had it.
It looks like seeing your family away from here,
it, like, finally set in.
Does that make sense?
It just feels very good to know that I have
everybody back home rooting for me
in little old East Orange.
And can I just say, your dad is really handsome.
[drag queen] Yeah, he's hot, girl.
[Marcia] You were, like--
She's crying, and you were, like, he's hot.
[laughter]
Hey, queens.
[all cheering and greeting]
How y'all ladies doing?
-[drag queen 1] Good. -[drag queen 2] Look at the body.
-Oh, you didn't know? -Yes.
Y'all are some fierce queens, fierce.
But I've seen a lot of down emotion.
And I do wanna talk to you.
Why are you down?
I mean, I'm not really necessarily down--
I see it. I was watching you on stage,
and I was, like, girl.
-'Cause you from Miami. -Yeah.
-And you know, I'm from Miami. -[Malaysia] I know.
I'm a Miami girl, you know?
You know all the same girls I know.
What's hard for me is watching you beat yourself up.
I was so hoping that, in the challenge,
you would just say, "Okay, let me-- let me snap out of it."
But I saw you beating yourself up.
And you can't.
You just-- you can't do that.
The only thing that you can do is-- is just, like,
really take a critique or see where you went wrong
and just push yourself forward.
The same for you. And I know it's hard,
'cause it's a lot of pressure.
One of my biggest dreams is to be a talk show host.
And when the opportunity arose for me to do it,
you know, it was either sink or swim.
But you have to make the best of it.
In the words of Beyoncé, honey, "make lemonade," right?
It's been so many times that I've been in places,
and I could've just folded from beating myself up
because people said I wasn't good enough,
they said I didn't belong here.
They was, like, "Well, girl, what is a trans girl,
you know, occupying these spaces?"
And at times, I have allowed that to get in my head.
And then I stand and look at myself,
as each one of you should,
and say, "Bitch, I'm supposed to be here.
And no matter how many times I fall down,
I get up, dust myself off, and keep going."
Sister...
sister, I am so glad,
as a open trans woman,
that you are here and you are competing.
And I gotta bow to you, girl.
[Sasha] It's just really nice to be seen by another trans woman,
to see Madison actually talk to me and, like,
look at me as a trans sister to a trans sister.
I'm just so blown away by her.
And it just hit me right there
that I have so many amazing examples
of good trans women in my life.
And I praise them every time I'm on that stage.
I love you all.
-Can I just say... -[Madison] Yes.
[Luxx] I am obsessed with this hair colour on you.
-[drag queen 1] Right, me too. -You like this?
You hear this bitch telling me
she like my hair colour and stuff like this
when you come out there, you are gorgeous.
-Thank you. -[Madison] You all are gorgeous.
But I love that about you.
[staff] I'm so sorry, queens.
[Madison] Is it time?
Oh, well, God's calling me home, y'all.
[laughter]
Y'all get them spirits up.
Y'all are Ru girls forever, honey.
You'll be millionaires by the time y'all get my age.
[laughter]
-Bye, baby. -Queens, five minute warning.
-Five minutes. -[drag queen] Thank you so much.
[Madison] Bye, y'all.
[dramatic music]
[Mistress] Well, bitch,
whatever happens, I love you.
I love you too.
Bitch, let's give 'em a show.
It is what it is.
[Malaysia] The cards have been dealt, and I'm trying to survive.
Like Destiny's Child say, baby,
"I'm a survivor," I'm a soldier, I'm all that right now.
I'm finna, like, channel my inner Beyoncé, baby.
Let's do it.
[Salina] I've lip synced for my life twice.
And usually, that's not a really good track record
for someone in this competition.
It means they're going home soon.
I'm not delusional.
But I'm EsTitties and y'all are about to know that.
Okay? So let's go.
All right, queens, let's head back to the main stage.
-[whimpers] -Tank you, tank you.
-Ladies, ladies, ladies. -Ugh, girl.
-[drag queen 1] Ooh, my God, my-- -[drag queen 2] Oh, my skirt.
[RuPaul] Welcome, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Malaysia Babydoll Foxx,
Salina EsTitties,
the time has come for you to lip sync
for your life!
Salina EsTitties,
shantay, you stay.
[exhales]
Malaysia Babydoll Foxx,
sashay away.
Aw.
[downbeat music]
[Malaysia] Child, so the cards have been dealt.
We all come in so super confident
and, like, feeling like we know who we are.
We've never experienced anything like this before
and questioned so much about yourself.
But the thing I've learned is,
you have to live in the moment.
And I wish that from the beginning,
I would've always had that.
I wish I would've just really let go
and enjoyed the ride.
[sighs]
My gosh.
It's the last day in the Werk Room.
I am going to miss my station.
Coming into the competition,
I think I was the fattest and the baddest bitch.
But I got a little bit intimidated,
and I got in my head a little bit.
And I wish, like, I just would've really kept
that bad bitch energy all the way through.
But at the end of the day, I made it here,
I did a lot of stuff that, you know,
people only hope and dream and wish to do.
I'm proud of myself for that.
[sighing] Yeah.
I don't feel bad for being vulnerable
and being emotional.
My moments where I felt overlooked
or not heard, and I got frustrated sometimes.
I just wanted to be respected, and at the end of the day,
I think I got my point across.
[laughs]
This journey is not only for me.
It's for other people who relate to me.
It makes them feel like, I have a chance,
because they from where I'm from.
My advice to any up-and-coming queens,
and, like, specifically from where I'm from in Miami,
is to always just be authentically you.
That is the fun part about drag.
People have a lot of people tell them
what they should wear, how they should look,
how they should be.
And I want people to just be, like, more of themselves.
Like, whatever you feel, however you feel,
express it, do it, be it,
and just be you.
Ah, these girls done left me letters.
"Dear Malaysia, I still want meddle. Luxx."
[laughs]
Girl, she still want war with me.
[laughing]
"You're fucking crazy."
[laughs]
"And we cut the fuck up this season. I love you.
Team Big Girl. Mistress."
[laughs]
I definitely bonded with Mistress.
We bumped heads a little bit.
But I'm always rooting for Mistress
because, you know, she's a big girl.
Like, she knows the struggle.
And I'm ready to see a big girl win,
'cause I thought I was gonna be the big bitch that win,
but, you know, my journey has ended.
So I hope that she could carry the torch
and win this for us.
[sighs]
I said I came in here to fuck shit up.
I think I did that.
The fattest and the baddest bitch
is out of the building.
[smooches]
Honestly, I don't feel defeated.
I don't feel bad.
I definitely feel like I made the 305 proud.
Sometimes what you're holding in is needed in the world.
It might inspire somebody.
That's just kind of the way that I think of things
because I feel like we as people always have
so much to show.
I feel very strongly about everything that I do.
And I hope you love me, America.
[laughs]
Oh, gosh.
Today has been a long day, and it's been really real.
But a bad bitch gotta get back to the 305,
where it's all the way live, all right?
