[singing] MTV
I love every last one of you--
- I love you. - No matter how much I hate all of y'all.
If you don't have star quality, get the fuck out of here.
This is your moment! Have it!
[RuPaul] This is "Untucked,"
backstage at the competition
to become America's next drag superstar.
Girl, if you're not watching "Untucked,"
you're only getting half the story.
[Stagehand 1] Prep Untucked cameras on the main stage.
- [Stagehand 2] Copy. - [Stagehand 1] Here we go.
[echoing] Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck in the Werk Room,
the judges and I will deliberate.
[dramatic music]
[Sasha] Everyone's in their feelings.
And Salina is steaming.
This is going to be interesting.
[laughing]
[music continues]
[Mistress] I think the girls are shocked and gagged.
Bitch, this can go any way.
I have no idea what's about to happen.
But to be honest, I am still on cloud nine.
I feel like I did a great job with the Rusical.
So I cannot wait to see how this turns out.
[Stagehand 1] Repo Untucked cameras to the Werk Room.
[Stagehand 2] Send the Queens in three, two, one.
Oh-wee.
Oh, which ones are the cocktails?
- Got it? - Yeah, I'm good.
Got your webs.
Jeez, Louise.
I'm sure Salina doesn't feel great about her name
being dropped twice in a row.
And I'm sure she doesn't feel too hot about the fact
that they're all about how she's done in the competition,
track-record-wise.
I'm interested to see how this is going to turn out.
I am over the moon.
I was so nervous about the choreo.
And, bitch, I feel like we all did so sickening.
So, even being there, you all know I love to talk shit.
I would've loved to throw anyone under the bus, but I really couldn't.
Yeah, I didn't want to, like, put anyone down
but really take this as a competition.
And if we're going on stats, like, yeah, like, I said,
you two, because you two are very strong.
And I clearly said Sasha 'cause she just has the most wins right now.
'Cause she knows I'm gonna tell her mama.
[Mistress] Yeah, that's why. [laughter]
How do you feel, Loosey?
I'm surprised to have heard my name.
I mean, I strongly disagree with the opinions expressed
that I am not unique.
That was really surprising to me.
I mean, I'm sitting here dressed as the female version
of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
I think the way that I perform is unique.
I think that my comedic take on things is very unique.
My variety of types of performing is very unique.
I actually think I'm an incredibly unique performer.
But we all have to say somebody.
And if I could have said my greatest competition,
then I would have said, girl, can I change my answer?
- But that's just how it went. - Yeah.
I didn't approach the question as who I would want to send out either.
Like, if I wanted to say who I don't really fuck with here,
I would've just said it out there.
[laughs] Say their name.
Loosey.
You don't fuck with me?
No.
Okay.
All right.
No, I'm just kidding. I don't dislike you. I really don't.
I don't think you do either. And I don't dislike you.
[Mistress] I think Loosey understands
that even though I might come off aggressive sometimes,
it's never from a place of being disrespectful.
I feel like she knows I'm not really coming at her with malicious intent.
Luxx, you gagged me on the runway
when you just had to clarify that you gave Heaven the role.
- [laughing] - [Luxx] It was the truth.
I know that you initially wanted the Heaven Bacon role
and you got into it with Loosey.
I would like to clear this up.
I had the role first, and then I gave it to her.
But, you know, that's in the past.
But, yeah, I had a great time.
I don't want it to seem like you overpowered
or, like, I backed out of it or anything like that,
because I had it, and then I gave it to you.
But it's fine because you did an amazing job.
I don't care. That's in the past.
- I have a different take on it. - Okay.
My take on it is that if you want to look at it that way,
I could also say the same thing. I could say, well, I gave her the role
because we are going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.
And then I said, okay, well, fuck it, then I'll be Tuck.
And so, like, couldn't I interpret that the same way
and say, I gave her that?
Yes, however, you were saying, this was my part,
and I didn't take no for an answer.
I never said I didn't take no for an answer.
And I'm letting you know that that is how I took it.
Okay.
Got it.
Now... [sighs]
Salina, I am so sorry. I know that you're very pissed at me.
- And I fully understand. - [slurping]
No, I know you had to say a name.
But, like, the way that Sasha and Mistress were able to say
a name of a competitor that they're actually like,
"Fuck, I got to get this bitch out," why didn't you say someone else?
And I feel like you actually have people in here
that you don't really care too much about that you would love to see gone.
And why didn't you say their names?
I understand.
- Well, say their names. - [stammering]
Say their names, because there's people
you don't care for that you would love to see gone,
and I know it's not me.
- No, it's not you. - Yeah.
But the question wasn't,
who do you not care for and would like to see go?
The question was, who should go home?
We all got really positive critiques tonight.
So the only thing I could think of was,
who is up here who has gotten the most negative critiques from the judges?
And that is you.
And I am sorry, and I know that your feelings are hurt.
- You don't have to apologise. - But if that's--
Don't apologise for the way I feel.
Can I finish?
I answered the way that I thought was the most justified.
And that's fine. That's great for you.
Like, I heard it, and I get it. I've been in the bottom.
But at the same token, the interview challenge,
- you said I did good, and I-- - You did, and I stand by that.
You were all bamboozled that I was in the bottom.
Everyone was, like, bamboozled that I was
in the bottom most of the time I've been in the bottom.
But, like, I'm still here.
I also think that it's not-- you shouldn't take
the approach of the question as far as track record,
because if they were gonna want a response
based on track record, they wouldn't ask the question.
Boots. They already know I've been in the bottom.
- I tried to duck the question... - Yeah.
- Because I also believe that-- - Duck that fucking question.
You better duck that fucking question.
[chuckles]
I feel like there's so many emotions
in the room.
Everyone say the first three words that come to your head.
Exhausted, hurting, dick.
- Mm. - Sasha?
Exhausted, hurting, dick.
[laughter]
- Luxx. - I am amazing.
Salina?
Just say it. It'll feel so freeing. Just say what's on your mind.
Oh, I'm just trying to gather my words, darling.
- Ooh, ooh, ooh. - [laughing]
Are you upset with some of the girls here?
Are you more upset with the situation?
I can't blame anyone but myself as far as, like, having been in the bottom.
- Well, don't blame yourself either. - Yeah.
Well, like, I'm proud of what I did, so, like--
You should be.
The judges decide who's in the bottom.
- That's it. - Exactly.
And, like, I can't change their minds. It happened.
I love being here with you girls.
I love the competition. It's been a dream being here.
But I miss my Judys.
Is anyone here missing anyone special?
You know who I miss.
Woof, woof, woof.
My dog, yeah.
- I miss my dog. - [sighs]
And I really miss my best friend a lot.
[Stagehand 2] Tech, let's cue family video.
- Hey, Anetra... - [gasps]
- It's your best friend, Nick. - Oh, my God!
Oh!
Words cannot describe how happy I am for you
and proud I am of you.
Since the day I met you
and saw you perform for the first time,
I just knew that you were so special.
I've loved seeing you grow throughout our friendship.
And I know that you can do this.
So keep fighting and bring back that crown to Vegas
because we miss you so much and we love you.
And I've got one more surprise for you.
- Hey, Anetra, it's Dad. - Oh, my God.
I just want to say I love you, I miss you,
and I'm proud of you.
I remember the first time we seen you perform.
The transformation from that night to now has been amazing.
I love you, miss you.
Now it's time to get that crown, bring it home.
- Hope to see you soon. - [crying]
- You fucking whore. - Oh, Anetra.
- [laughing] - Anetra.
Oh, my God.
I don't even know what to say.
Nick is my best friend. He is single, if y'all are--
I know y'all think he's hot. [laughs]
Of course, like, we miss our, like...
[sniffles]
Who we have back home.
But I think seeing their faces and just hearing voices,
it really, like, makes you miss them even more.
That was really nice. [cries]
And, um... that was my dad.
Yes!
There's been, like, very few times
that I've heard my dad tell me that he loves me,
so I think for me to be here
and to hear my dad say that, it's, like...
[sniffles]
It's kind of a big moment for me.
[cries, sniffles] Um...
[sniffles] God, this day has been so long.
[laughter]
I don't even know what to say.
My dad and I never really had a relationship
until, like, I didn't have a place to live, and...
I moved in with him,
and every, like, part of our relationship is really new.
And I never thought that he would be accepting
or understanding,
so I'm very grateful to have him support
what I do with my life and career.
But that was really nice.
Oh, I'm so happy for you.
[sighs]
[Stagehand 2] "Untucked" cameras rolling in the Werk Room.
It is very weird seeing people from home,
especially now that we're so deep into it.
It feels surreal seeing them that close,
even though they're, like, that far.
- Yeah. - It's the craziest thing.
- [Queens scream] - Howdy!
- Oh, my God! - With the pants, too?
Daddy! Oh!
I popped the tuck.
Girl, ride a cowboy, save a horse.
- [horse neighs] - Bitch, put me in that saddle.
Let's go.
Great job tonight, by the way. It was such a pleasure to watch.
And all of you just are killing it.
You all seem really confident and present.
And I just think that it can't be understated
how important that is.
And I hope each of you are proud of yourselves
or are learning how to be proud of yourselves
because I don't know-- I've found that that's been
the most important thing for me.
I think we all learn how to be really proud of ourselves here.
We can genuinely be proud of ourselves
without having to diminish our shine...
- Yeah. - Which has been really nice,
'cause in the world, you kind of have to dim your light sometimes
so people can handle it and, like, so you're palatable.
And this is just totally unapologetic drag.
[laughs]
I'm so glad you say that, because that is what it is.
I mean, obviously, I'm... [chuckles]
Unapologetically extra as well, you know?
- Stoned. - But I had impostor syndrome
up until really kind of recently, to be honest.
Like, in the last year, I finally started really working on that side of things.
And I think at times, that's really what held me back in moments
that I feel like I could've been more present for,
enjoyed more, taken in more.
And, ultimately, when you are being present and yourself,
no matter what, that's always the people
that we connect to if they're totally present and open
and just showing us who they are.
And it took me a long time to learn how to do that.
So I'm really glad to hear that that's kind of resonating.
I mean, this has got to be, like, the ultimate impostor-syndrome killer.
You're in the Werk Room on "Drag Race." I can't believe I'm in the Werk Room
on "Drag Race," you know?
Yeah, there's nowhere to hide.
Do you feel like the crossover of, like, being gay and, like, the country scene
is, like, kind of hard?
You know, it's funny-- I grew up never thinking
or just never acknowledging
that being gay meant that I wasn't able to be
at the table for any reason.
And, I mean, that's sort of a privilege
in a way, I suppose, that I grew up
with just that ability to kind of think that.
But, of course, I've had obstacles
and hit roadblocks and ceilings and bigotry
and all kinds of stuff being a gay country musician.
But I'm kind of of the mentality
that if you acknowledge boundaries too much,
you're kind of feeding into them.
And so I try and be authentic and true to myself
and just trying to tell my stories
and ignore all the noise.
So, in a way, I haven't found it hard.
But maybe it has been.
[laughing] But I don't know if it has,
'cause I'm just, like, excited to--
I just--I've always been determined, you know?
- Justin, no. - No.
Sorry, Queens, I got to take Orville back.
- Oh, y'all... - Oh, my God.
Best of luck.
Whoever's lip syncing, kill it, please.
I'm going to be cheering all of you on no matter what.
And it's so lovely to meet all of you.
- Thank you for everything... - Yes.
Thank you so much, babe.
All the girls are gagging at Orville
giving us so much good advice, and he looks so sexy.
Yee-haw!
Take that thing off your face.
I'd like to keep it on, please.
[shouting, laughter]
- I need that outfit. - Oh.
- It is so good. - That is a very useful outfit.
- It's his fringe. - It's the fringe.
But also, like, the stones and, like, the flames.
- Oh, so good. So well done. - I mean it.
Before whatever happens, bitch, cheers to the girls.
- We're top six. - Yeah.
Whatever happens, bitch, we turned it the fuck out.
We worked our fingers to the fucking bone.
Cheers.
My arms were so sore, I could barely do my makeup.
Even in my kitten heels, my calves were on motherfucking fire.
All right, Queens, five-minute warning.
- Thank you. - Five minutes.
Thank you. Five.
[Salina] I know that these girls think I deserve to go home.
But I need to show these judges
that I'm not ready to go home.
I'm feeling like this is my moment to prove myself
because I have a lot of people rooting for me back at home,
so I got to make them proud, girl.
[Loosey] I am very proud of what I did in the Rusical.
But now I'm in the bottom.
I didn't see it going this way.
And for me to go home right now,
it would be devastating.
All right, Queens, time to head back to the main stage.
- Bitch. - Grab your things and go.
Oh.
Come on, we got to leave, bitch.
- All right. - And scene.
[RuPaul, echoing] Welcome, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Loosey LaDuca, Salina EsTitties,
the time has come for you to lip-synch
for your life!
[dramatic music]
Loosey LaDuca, shantay, you stay.
Salina EsTitties...
sashay away.
You sure? [laughter]
[somber music]
[Salina] We all know I'm emotional
and I feel some sort of way all the time,
but being here just means so much to me.
And I'm just feeling frustrated
and just, like, angry,
because when it comes to this competition
and the negatives,
there's nothing I can do at this point, you know?
I can't verbalise what I'm feeling.
[music continues]
Ah, I feel all the emotions.
I feel like my titties are sagging.
And it's not a good feeling.
I just want some support, you know?
What I would have done differently
was probably, like, hone in on my designs better.
But I feel like there's people out there
who will see what I was trying to do.
So, like, the EsTitties were shown, and they were jiggling, bitch.
[snaps fingers]
I didn't get to wear this!
I didn't want to wear it, though. Michelle would have hated it.
I bought these titties for the show.
I could never afford this until now.
[giggles]
So we're going to say bye to the titties.
Say bye, titties.
The journey does not stop here for the titties, okay?
Mira, young baby queens,
know who the hell your drag persona is, and don't be selfish.
A lot of girls think they're that diva, and that's all,
but there's a bigger picture in the works, so don't be selfish.
Drag is a lot more than just being a cunt bitch.
Oh, my God!
[gasps] Look at these titties.
The nipples are so perky.
The areola-to-nipple ratio is really nice.
I like. The cleavage is cute.
I'm going to open this one first.
[crying] I don't want to open it yet.
[music continues]
You see, these chi-chi's are not so good.
Like, look at the difference.
Girl, come on. Who did this?
Let me guess.
Oh, Luxx!
Oh, my God.
That's a very Luxx titty, though, you know,
if we're being honest.
[sniffles, crying]
"To my EsTitties,
I'm going to miss you, Boots.
You're so fierce and such a good person,
and I can't wait to ki with you after this.
You should be so proud of what you've done here.
Definitely left your mark here, diva.
Luxx."
That means so much coming from Luxx, you know,
'cause she's the fashion bitch.
So, for Luxx to, like... [sniffles]
Acknowledge me and, like, what I was trying to do,
that just means a lot from Luxx, you know?
"I hate not having you here already."
[crying] "Thank you for being so kind to me
and being a sister.
You are such an incredible queen, and I adore you.
I can't wait to see what you do in the future.
You are one of my very favourites,
and I can't wait to reunite.
You are an inspiration to myself and many to come.
Always love, Anetra."
[sniffles] "Sickening Six."
Mm.
[crying]
I didn't know what to expect when it came to the other girls here.
I really came in Hot Cheetos a-blazing.
You know what I mean? Like, get out of my way, bitch,
I'm going to get you, take you down.
But things shift when you get here.
I'm excited for, like, the future after this is all done.
So that was really sweet.
All right, pink walls...
until next time.
Takin' this, bitch.
[music continues]
Drag is a continuous, ever-changing art form.
You're never done. You're never perfect.
There's always more room to grow,
and I stay in that space.
There's a lot to learn in the game of drag.
And I consider myself always learning, always growing.
[music continues]
[sighs]
All right, little nips, EsTitties is gone.
I got a new friend. She's a new little nip, right, Michelle?
Uh-huh.
Yeah, Mistress ain't going to miss you, right?
- Uh-uh. - That's what I thought.
Let's go, bitch. Let's take over the world!
Bye!
[singing] A little bit of love goes a long, long way
Lifting you up to a brighter day
A little bit of love goes a long, long way
Turn it around when you up and say
Everybody say love
Love, love, love, oh, love, love
Love, love, love, oh, love
Love, can you feel the love?
