[contestant 1] I love every last one of you,
no matter how much I hate all y'all.
[contestant 2] If you don't have star quality,
get the fuck out of here.
[contestant 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.
- [stagehand 1] Walkie check. - [stagehand 2] Copy.
[stagehand 3] Repo cameras to main stage.
[stagehand 4] Cameras up.
[RuPaul] Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck backstage...
the judges and I will deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
Yes.
All right now.
Yes.
Tip-toe, bitch.
[laughter]
Oh, my God.
[stagehand 1] Let's get our teacher makeover queens
- into holding, please. - [stagehand 2] Copy.
Thank you so much.
[vocalizes]
[stagehand 1] Cameras into position for queens walk off.
Rolling.
- Hey. - Oh.
[edgy music]
[Anetra] Listen, this was not an easy birth for Mama Anetra, OK?
Oh!
But I'm feeling on top of the world.
I'm going to give myself a pat on the back, and her too,
because I couldn't have done it without her, really.
[Luxx] I definitely know that I'm in the bottom.
I've come to terms with it.
But I do feel like Loosey may have strategised against me.
It's time for my revenge. [laughs]
[stagehand 1] Rolling on "Untucked" in the Werkroom.
[stagehand 2] Queens walking.
And mark.
[humming]
[Loosey] Ooh, cockytails.
Ooh.
Oh, mama, there's a lot of them.
- Ooh! - Oh, mama.
I want this one.
[laughter]
Ooh, that hits. That hits.
[grunts]
Wait. I'm not wearing any panties.
Well, cheers, top five.
- Yas! - Yas, cheers!
We did it.
Cinco de Drag Race.
- [cheering] - [Anetra] Send it. Send it.
So I think that for the first time in "Drag Race" herstory,
Luxx Noir London is in the bottom.
If that's the case for me, I'm ready to go out there
and show them what I do.
I have come too close.
I've looked too damn good in this competition
- to let all of that go now. - [chuckles]
I am not going out without a goddamn fight.
So good luck to the girl I'm up against.
It was nice knowing you.
Oh.
Who do you feel like will be in the bottom with you?
I think it's me and Loosey.
[Loosey] Me, yeah.
But I don't think I deserve to be in the bottom.
Whoo-hoo!
Here we go.
Loosey is pissed again.
Buckle up.
I don't-- I don't agree with what the judges said
just 'cause, like,
I felt like she did a great job on the runway.
I felt like I did a great job on the runway.
We had a little choreography,
and we looked identical.
So I think they are reaching very, very far,
and I feel like I didn't necessarily
get enough credit for the construction of the garments.
But you never know what the judges are
- gonna say, unfortunately. - [Anetra] Yeah.
- Very true. - Very true.
I mean, I agree with what they said
about the family resemblance.
I thought that since we were both wearing the coral colour,
hers was the lining.
Mine was just the dress.
I do admit, I could have added the blue to my outfit.
But am I proud of what I did?
Yes, because she was very happy and confident in it.
- She was having a ball. - She's a star, honey.
- [Sasha] She was having have a ball. - She was living.
No, she has the star quality.
It runs in the family.
That was the family resemblance.
[laughter]
Bitch.
[Luxx] Well, I was a little shocked when
I wasn't given the only other Black person in the room.
- Uh-huh. - That kind of threw me.
[Loosey] To be very super honest,
I didn't necessarily want to give you someone
who would be, like, perfect for you
because you are really, really tough competition.
[Luxx] So why did you choose to give Sasha's person to Sasha
rather than me, where Sasha
technically is bigger competition
because she has more wins?
Ooh.
'Cause she doesn't say that I'm not creative or unique.
Loosey's drag is a little on the more generic side.
Everybody else on this lineup brings something
a little different and unique.
Well, I didn't say you weren't creative or unique.
I just said that comparatively to everybody else
on the stage, what you offer, we've seen it before.
[edgy music]
That's-- that's the same thing as saying I'm not creative.
Absolutely not.
That's how I see it.
[Mistress] Would you say this is creative and unique?
It's a cute dress.
Thanks.
No problem.
[Mistress] But is it creative and unique?
I'm genuinely curious.
No.
Ooh.
Damn. [laughs]
I could just feel the radiating heat
coming from Loosey's body.
But you can't take it too personally
because somebody's opinion of your drag
should not be changing your idea of your drag,
unless it's the judges'.
I will say, though, I wouldn't think that you would
- wear something like this. - [Loosey] Wait, what?
You wouldn't think that I would wear this dress?
No, from what I've seen, like,
in the runaways and stuff like that, not really.
It's like very quintessential me, actually.
- [pops tongue] - [Mistress] So did everything play out
how you imagined it playing out?
Yeah.
Bitch, you're in the bottom, I think.
Girl.
I mean, I didn't expect to be in the bottom.
If you're in the bottom, lip-synching,
do you feel like you would beat Luxx?
I don't know.
Do you feel like you would beat Loosey?
Yes.
Oh.
I know. [laughs]
[slurping]
I love the strength.
[Loosey] Luxx seems very sure of herself.
But luckily...
I don't give a shit.
And I don't give a shit if the other girls
don't understand why I am so special and why I'm so unique.
I don't even have an exit line prepared,
'cause it's not gonna happen, period.
I feel like we, the three of us, did the best.
Like, I think we all did so good,
I genuinely have no idea who it could be.
Anetra, you really surprised me because I feel like you,
like, literally took your mug and put it right back on her.
- [Sasha] Got that stamp. - [Mistress] You did a really great job.
- [Anetra] Thank you. - [Luxx] Yeah, 'cause they looked
exactly alike.
I mean, hers too.
Yeah, yours is pretty close.
Yeah, it'll be very hard between the both of us.
The biggest transformation, I feel like, was mine.
But I feel like the one who made me look the most
- was, like, yours. - [Anetra] Yeah.
I know for me, my teacher and I kind of have, like,
this same, like, backstory a bit.
So it was, like, perfect.
My teacher has, like, all queer children.
[Loosey] She seems like the perfect mom for a queer kid.
[Luxx] Yeah. It's really surprising
to see a parent who is that supportive of their children
because it's not a super common thing.
And like, she seems like she's like
really on-board with all of it,
and she's just letting them live their lives authentically,
and I think that's really sweet.
- Yeah. - [Sasha] Thank God.
Like, I feel like a little easier and like I can, like,
rest at ease, like, that there's parents out there
that are sticking up for their kids.
It's so refreshing.
Yeah! Like, yay!
And there's a difference between the generations.
- Yeah. - Like, it's getting better.
[Anetra] It is, but I also feel like
your chosen family can understand things
in the queer experience that your biological family,
even if they are supportive, won't understand.
Mm-hmm.
This was my first experience with a "drag family,"
'cause I don't have a drag mother,
and I don't have any drag children.
But those of y'all who come from drag families,
how important is that in your life?
I think, um...
I think having a supportive biological family,
and drag family--
if you are lucky enough to have both-- that's amazing.
A drag family is a great charter family to have
if you're not close with your biological family.
[stagehand] Tech, let's cue family video now.
It is on, honey?
- Ah! - Is this bitch recording?
What is up, girl?
- Aww. - How y'all doing?
It's me. I'm back.
I snuck in, 'cause you know what?
I gotta talk to my mama.
Everybody, move aside.
I got a message for my mother, darling.
Gosh, my daughter Kerri.
She is going crazy, child.
And that's the Kerri I know and love.
I am so proud of you. Girl, look at you.
Look at where you're at. Look around you.
You everyone's mother there, ain't you, girl?
Because you are the mother of the year,
mother of the day, mother of the hour, mother of the week.
Honey, it's just mother season, Mother's Day.
And I know that you are having fun.
Oh, my God. I'm pinching myself, baby.
I cannot wait to when you get home
for me to look at that wall
and just see how extra decorated it is,
'cause you are no stranger to winning.
But what you are going to bring home is that crown.
I know you got the little space right there
on your little mantle for it.
Keep on wearing them girls out, honey.
Keep on running laps around the competition, girl.
That is what you were created to do.
You better stay encouraged and stay doing it, girl.
Mwah.
- Aww. - [all] Aww!
Speaking of family...
Beautiful.
Drag families are very important for drag.
I think a good support system
is important for life in general.
And it was nice to have her be the messenger
and give me that last little push, honey.
Family's everything,
whether you have to make it, find it, create it yourself.
I feel like even though I don't have a drag family,
there are people who I'll give them advice or help
or anything, like, if they ever need it.
But my family has been really supportive of my drag.
In my experience, my drag family is my family.
I mean, just 'cause of everything,
I don't really talk to my family.
But in that same breath,
if you have a relationship with your family,
one doesn't have to outweigh the other.
- Yeah. - [stagehand] Let's cue family video now.
Hey, Jim. It's Dad.
- [gasps] - Oh ho ho ho.
[Loosey's dad] I miss you tremendously.
I'm so incredibly proud of you.
I've been proud of you from the first time
I watched you do drag
to every show that I ever went to.
And you're going to do great.
Hey, Loosey. It's your sister, Kristen.
I knew from the moment I saw you on stage
that you were something special,
and I know that you are just killing it there.
Hey, Loosey. It's your big brother, Joey.
I can't tell you how glad I am to know
that the most famous person
to come out of Ansonia High School
isn't going to be some football jock.
[laughter]
Seriously, we came from a community
that didn't really foster
this kind of creativity and flair for life.
And you're honestly an inspiration for all of us,
as you are for me every single day.
And I can't wait to see you again.
Aww.
It's Jeffrey, your best friend.
I miss you every single minute of every single day.
And I can't wait until you get home
and I can wrap my arms around you
and tell you how much I love you.
We are so proud of you,
and the world's going to absolutely love you.
[dog sneezes]
[laughter]
We're so proud.
- We love you. - Aah!
Aww!
That's my dog.
Bitch, your dog looks bad as fuck.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, Loosey.
I miss them so much.
Thank you. [sobs]
It's really hard being here.
When you're here, you just try to keep your head in the game.
You don't want to think about the people that are home,
but seeing them is like... crazy.
Your dad.
Isn't my dad so cute?
[Sasha] He's so cute.
He's so supportive.
He comes to my shows all the time.
And my brother is so proud of me.
[sobbing] And he's right.
We grew up in a town that just did not like people like me.
Yeah.
I just want so badly to do...
really well and to make them proud of me.
And so I feel like sometimes, I've got in my head
a little bit too in the game,
and I'm sorry that I've been a little robotic.
I just want to make them really, really proud.
And, girl, like you just said, we all saw
- they're all fucking proud of you. - Yes.
I'm really, really, really lucky to have them.
Is all my makeup coming off?
It's pretty bad, right?
[laughs]
I mean, you got plenty of other stains on the dress.
- It's just one more. - Girl, I know.
- Oop. - Oop!
Girl.
I do kinda want to listen.
I wanna go listen to that song,
so let me go listen to that song.
Honestly, the makeup is still on.
[laughter]
All right. Luxx, you got this.
- [cheering] - Yas!
- How are y'all? - Hi!
- Make yourselves at home. - You guys are here.
- Pull up a set. - Thank you.
Jennifer Coolidge, I love your work.
[Mistress] Before we can get to the happiness,
the mood's kinda weird
'cause we're so close to the end,
like who we think is gonna be in the top
and the bottom this week.
And I think we all kinda like came to the conclusion
it would be Loosey and Luxx.
Nobody did a bad job. It's so close.
The competition has been, like, neck and neck
the last few weeks because everyone has been so good.
Everyone did great.
I just want to tell Sasha, you have made my drag queen,
like, dreams come true.
- Aww. - Thank you so much.
And just being around you and being your true authentic self,
I have learned so much from you.
And I really want to stay in touch with you.
Yes! Absolutely.
Oh, my gosh.
All right, queens, five-minute warning.
What?
[dramatic music]
[Loosey] Seeing my family reminds me of the long journey
that it's taken me to get to this point of my life.
It reminds me that I have gotten
past every single hurdle
that has been thrown my way,
and this lip sync is just one more hurdle that I need to get over.
I'm determined.
I'm going to stay.
[Luxx] I have my game face on.
I am well stretched, the body is right,
and I am ready to go.
I know that I could eat Loosey in a lip sync
with the snap of my fingers,
so I am not really nervous at all.
Queens, time to head back to the main stage.
Teachers are going to stay here in the Werkroom.
- No. - Don't be a stranger.
You are beautiful.
- Oh, I loved meeting you. - Thank you.
- You got this. - Yes, I'm ready to turn it.
[Loosey] Bye, Jennifer Coolidge.
[sighs]
[RuPaul] Welcome, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Loosey LaDuca,
Luxx Noir London,
the time has come
to lip-synch for
your... life!
[murmuring]
Come on, Luxx. You got this.
[in slow motion] Ahhh-ey!
[dramatic music]
[RuPaul] Luxx Noir London, shantay, you stay.
Loosey, you're a star, baby.
Sashay away.
Thank you all so much.
[sobs, exhales]
[applause]
Bye-bye, girls.
[sobbing]
[Loosey] I'm shocked to be going home.
It makes me feel terrible.
I'm a superstar.
I worked so hard for this.
I'm just devastated, absolutely devastated.
[blowing raspberry]
[breathes deeply]
I feel... [sighs]
[clicks tongue]
...angry.
And I really don't like feeling angry.
I think towards the end,
I allowed the other girls
to get into my head.
I'm really kind of disappointed in myself
that I let them, because that's usually not who I am.
It really sucks.
I will eventually get over Luxx telling me
that I am not unique and that I do a style of drag
that's been done before.
[scoffs]
Even though it was questioned, I know that I've been genuine.
I don't know how to be anybody else.
Oh, I mean, Joan Rivers.
I know how to be her, but other than her...
[sniffles]
I'm, like, realising now... [sobs]
...that I should be more grateful for this experience
because I was here for a really long time.
It almost makes it worse because I was so close
to being in the finale.
And I really think that I deserve to be.
[melancholy music]
But I'm extremely proud of everything that I did here.
Aww!
I got letters, so the girls like me.
"My dearest Loosey, I love you so, so much.
I'm so sorry to see you go.
You are one talented person.
You are a strong competitor
and a great source of inspiration and laughs.
Aloha and kisses. Sasha Colby."
When I first got here, the last thing I thought of
was the other girls.
I just cared about making sure
that I had everything I needed to win this competition.
I got here, and I was just surrounded
by some of the most talented people I've ever met,
a handful of them who I'm gonna be friends with
for a very, very long time.
The journey begins here.
I guess that's really it.
But I really should have been in the top
for the sitcom challenge.
[ding]
[exhales] Goodbye, Werkroom.
I am still very emotionally vulnerable.
But if you go through life
and you never have any struggle,
then you don't even know the first thing about who you are.
I didn't see people like me in my small town
when I was a kid.
And now, I am that person who is living my life
as authentically as possible.
You have to live your life authentically,
and beautiful things will come to you.
Goodbye, cruel world.
[laughing] Goodbye.
Drive, please.
Just drive.
[sobby inhale]
I'm not gonna say I was robbed,
but I'm gonna heavily imply it.
[sobs] Oh!
[whispers] Go.
[jazzy music]
I'm just kidding.
