- I've been nice to everybody in this competition,
and today I will stand my ground.
- No fucking class or decorum, honey.
- Are you serious? - Ooh.
- I'm fucking pissed.
- Say the name!
- 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.
- Test, test. - Check.
Queens are walking.
- Ooh.
- Ooh, ooh.
- Prep "Untucked" cameras on the main stage.
Rolling, rolling.
- Geneva Karr.
Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige.
Megami.
Nymphia Wind.
Condragulations, you're the winning
girl group of the week.
You may leave the stage.
- Thank you, Ru.
[dramatic music]
- Oh, my God.
OK, breathe.
- What's 5,000 divided by 4?
- I chose my girls because they can dance, have rhythm,
and they're also smart with their lyrics.
I'm just super happy that I won with these girls
that I walked in the Werk Room with.
- Yes.
- Right now, I'm feeling proud of myself
because me and my girls,
we just won the girl group challenge.
I did the choreography,
and the judges loved the choreography.
I'm on cloud nine.
- Repo all cameras to "Untucked" lounge.
- Copy.
- Sending the queens in 3, 2, 1.
- Yes, bitch. - Oh, my God!
- Come through, Thick and Stick.
- Oh, my God, Thick and Stick.
- Thick and Stick.
- Can we do a victory dance first?
[upbeat music]
We won, we won, we won.
Uh-huh.
We won as a girl group.
And eat it. [clicks tongue]
Now I feel like I can't really hide my talents anymore.
I just got to show it.
I'm just gagged.
Like, we won together.
I'm so happy.
But how are we gonna split the 5,000?
- This is how we're gonna do it.
It's gonna be 2,000 and 1,000 each.
- Wow.
I love that.
- How dare she?
- That's some Florida math, girl.
- That is--no.
- Is the mathing mathing?
- What's 5,000 divided by 4?
- Cheers, bitches. - To our victory.
[all cheering]
We are what?
Thick and the Sticks.
Oh, my God.
- You know all those girls underestimated our team.
- I know. That's the best part.
- That's why they're so gagged. - That is the best part.
- I think we went in there with that fucking fire of, like,
girl, people are underestimating us.
We're gonna fucking prove these bitches wrong.
- [singing] A-S-M-R you for real
All I want to hear
I'm holy
Whatever you have to say
Long as you whisper to me
- Especially us, 'cause we're the ones that
have been in the bottom and then I've
lip-synched twice in a row.
- Well, next week, we'll see you back in the bottom again.
[laughter]
Stay where you belong.
I'm joking.
But Megami, how do you feel?
I feel like a lot of the other girls there
really underestimated you.
- Definitely.
- Seven, eight, one, two, fuck me.
- Somebody's off.
- I'll get it.
I promise. [laughs]
But bitch, I'm a winner.
- Literally eat this.
- I mean, I got here because I believe in my talents
even when other people don't.
And to, like, be picked last...
- That means Megami will go to Geneva's team.
- Come here, Satina sister.
- That shit hurt because I was like, I know I can do this.
Maybe I'm not the fastest at picking up choreo,
but I will get it because I work my fucking ass off.
- Guess what. It paid off.
- Yeah. - Truly.
- It feels so good.
You know, this is actually my first time being a top.
- How do you feel being a top?
- I feel wonderful.
I don't have to stand on stage and be nervous.
And this actually just lifted my spirits.
- How about Miss Geneva who's like top,
bottom, bottom, and now win?
- I was in the top, then I lip-synched
twice in a row, and now I win.
So you know, finally I feel very happy.
I--I need a break.
I've been lip-synching since I got here.
- Literally, you've never stopped lip-synching.
- So you're the assassin of the season.
- The ass-assin.
- Ass-ass-assassin.
- Ass-assin.
Like, ass-assin.
- Assassin.
- Yeah. We'll work on that.
[laughs]
- Now I'm wondering, like, if we all won together,
like, what's happening with the other girls?
Are they all in the bottom, or like...
- It's gonna be a long critique up there.
I will say Plasma's group,
it was very much "The Plasma Show."
Even when we were going into rehearsals, like,
she was living her best Broadway life, darling.
And you know, Jane and Xunami were kind of like,
what is going on here? - Yeah.
- And Amanda, actually if you wanted to split
this column right there.
Yeah, so we're gonna just--
- Can you slow down your talking?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. [laughter]
- OK, how about Sapphira in that group?
- She wasn't as confident as she usually is,
I'll tell you that, because you know,
she's like, I am unbreakable and I am really good.
- Something was off with her. - Yeah.
- I feel like I didn't see her shine through in that number.
Like, she could have shown so much more.
- Yeah.
- She fell in the back.
- Yeah.
- Who do y'all think are gonna be,
like, the bottom two?
- Honestly, for me, it could be kind of anyone.
- Yeah. - Q.
- Yeah.
- Q was very much like a little robot kind of chipmunk type.
- Yeah.
- She's an amazing designer,
but she kind of has, like, a Frankenstein walk.
- I'll give her this.
She tried, but she couldn't sew up an eight count.
- Ooh. [laughter]
- And a ooh. - And a ooh.
- She came for me in the sewing challenge,
so now she's in the bottom in a dance challenge.
I'm moving right to that couch.
- Yeah. - So we can have this.
- The winner couch.
- I'll sit over here with y'all.
- Sit--sit right here.
- Megami, you have to fill out the space.
You can't let the losers sit with us.
- I want my good angle to show.
- Oh, my God.
- I wanted to let my Barbie pussy not show.
- You have panties on.
- I do have panties on.
- You guys are so beautiful tonight.
- Oh, thank you.
- Girl...
- Oh, gagged, goop.
Spill all the tea.
Oh, my God, they're quiet.
Oh, my God, is everyone OK?
- Oh, shit. - Uh-uh.
- Not the greatest. - Not the greatest.
- Grab a drink.
- Mother, mother, mother, mother.
- OK.
- My poor mother.
- It's a little tense.
- Very.
I could cut it with a knife.
- Girl, ooh,
I--I just completely blanked.
I don't know what's going on right now.
This is a little much for me.
We're all up for elimination.
- Are you fucking serious? - Yeah.
And then she asked us the golden question,
who should go home tonight and why?
- Yeah.
- Should we go through our individual critiques
before we start talking about who we said though?
- So for my critiques, they said that they thought
that I did really well.
TS said that she could see my mind working.
She was the only one who said that.
- Yeah. - And they loved this look.
Yeah, it was just, you know, it's scary being up there.
I've never been in the bottom of anything.
- Me neither.
- Do you guys regret not using the immunity?
- Literally when she asked, I was like,
no, wait, I meant, um.
[laughter]
What you heard was no, but what I had said was--
- Yes. - Ah.
[laughter]
- I probably got the worst critiques of the night.
- I struggled with you in this girl group.
The look was kind of basic bitch for you
because you don't do that.
- Out of everybody in the girl group,
you didn't sparkle or shine.
- Singing, fantastic.
Dancing, not so much.
- I made that blue outfit last-minute,
and it was very underwhelming
compared to the rest of my group, which I totally get.
As for the dancing, I didn't fuck up any choreo at all.
Maybe I wasn't selling it.
But I guess I'll have to watch it back.
Going to be like, oh.
[laughter]
But my runway, nothing bad to say, really.
- This looks like a million bucks.
Who is responsible for this?
- I made this one.
- Wow.
- Miss Amanda.
- Hi, it's me, Amanda Tori Meating.
I'm not feeling as stunning as I normally am in "Untucked."
- They said that your dancing was perfect
and that you were a star on the dance floor.
- [singing] Someone told me who I am is wrong
But now I trust myself
I know that I am strong
- Q and Amanda got very opposite critiques,
where, like, they weren't obsessed
with your performance,
but they loved this outfit, but they
were not obsessed with this outfit
and they loved your performance.
- It just doesn't really make sense as far as pussycat wigs.
- You have trouble with some of the drag aesthetic.
This idea is great.
It's just a little bit off.
- Which is annoying, because like,
in my head when I was putting it together,
I was like, how can I use the pussycat
to sort of, like, tell a story?
And I think it just got lost in translation.
- Yeah.
- I just wanted to say congratulations
to the winning team. - Oh, yeah.
- Yes, good job.
- Each and every single one of you turned that shit out.
And you're a dancer.
You little lying bitch.
- I'm not gonna say I'm a dancer.
- You little lying bitch.
- For me, the song was the best part
because you used every part of the song to interject.
You had the Mhi'ya.
[laughter] - Right?
- [singing] Mhi'ya, Mhi'ya
Is the name they're screaming
When they see me flipping
Mhi'ya, Mhi'ya
Is the drag that took her man, bitch
- Congratulations.
- Thank you guys.
The Thick and Stick will be soon in your area.
We'll be touring.
We're putting out an album.
- So who did you all nominate to go home?
- I said Amanda.
And you know how hard it was for me to even say the name.
[sighs] Amanda.
She's a growing queen.
However, this is not the place to grow.
It just pained me to say.
- I know it did.
- Because I just love you so much.
- I love you too.
- And I've seen your growth.
- I said two people and they let me say two people.
They let me get away with it.
- And you're cocky for it.
- Amanda and Xunami.
Amanda because worst critiques and Xunami just because
of not making, like, a really big statement
in the competition yet.
- In your opinion.
- It's not shit.
It's, like--
- No, like, but I said, in your opinion.
- OK, yeah, for sure.
I don't know why you're getting so mad.
- They asked for one name, and you said two.
What do you want me to be, happy?
Like, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I got great critiques tonight.
So Little Miss Thing is feeling real confident
for someone who didn't get the best critiques.
I'm definitely going to remember this though.
I mean, I'm allowed to feel, you know,
the way I want to feel.
- OK.
And?
- And I'm allowed to feel the way I want to feel.
- OK.
Yeah.
- Ooh.
OK.
- I don't think Xunami needs to be this heated
and caught up in her emotions that I named her
on the runway tonight.
Girl, it's a competition.
It's gonna happen.
We had to do it.
- It's not great hearing my name from everybody either.
- I--I know. I'm sure.
- So I was next.
The closeness that I've gotten to you since we've come here,
like, I physically could not say your name,
and I didn't want to.
And so I said Q because you're my biggest competition.
- Amanda, you said?
- I said Q as well.
Obviously, we all know things have been tense
between me and Plane Jane,
so I would have loved to say her name.
But like, she just got great critiques.
I mean, what am I gonna say,
Plane Jane 'cause I think she's mean?
Like... [laughter]
- Maybe you should have said that.
- That would've been iconic.
- I think she's a mean girl.
- We know who Plane said.
- Oh, I wonder who.
Does it start with an A? - Yeah.
- Oh. - My God.
- Anetra?
[laughter]
- Plane, who'd you say?
- I did say Amanda.
I don't think that her level of polish is up to the level
that everybody else's is in this competition.
Sorry, Amanda.
- You're not.
You don't have to pretend to be sorry.
Like, it's no tea. Like...
- That was just my honest opinion,
and I gave it on the main stage.
- Party. - Party.
- Anything fun happen in here?
- Yeah. So much fun.
We were celebrating.
We were having champagne.
[all screaming]
- Oh, my God.
- Ah!
I'm actually such huge fans of Icona Pop.
They were my first concert ever
back in my sophomore year in high school.
A full circle moment is what I'm feeling right now.
- First of all, you look amazing.
All of you. - Thank you.
- Such a good job.
Dancing with those heels, and--I'm blown away.
- And also to just, like, deliver.
Like... - Yeah.
- Like, all of you are stars.
So just... - Yeah.
- What I also love, I just have to say it,
is that everyone is, like, performing
in their own unique way.
And you make it into your superpower.
I'm gonna walk away from here tonight
and be like, whoo, I need to step up my game.
Like, you know?
- How long have you guys known each other?
Like... - We started our band in 2008.
- Yeah. - And we actually met
the day before we started our band.
- Wow. - Yeah, it was--
- Are you serious? - Love at first sight.
- Yeah.
- It was like, where have you been?
- Yeah. - Like, I love you.
- Yeah. - I had a crush.
We had a crush on each other.
Yeah.
It was like, we had this rule, like, no.
She's my sister. - Yeah.
Let's not.
But... - We have the same rule.
[laughter]
- We don't fuck each other.
- You're breaking it all the time, right?
Rules are made for breaking, right?
- To be able to do this with your best friend,
it's been amazing.
- And you go through ups and downs.
And that's kind of how you also become stronger.
Like, it's not always been easy.
It was so many years and nothing happened,
and then suddenly we had a huge hit,
and now it finally feels like we
have this amazing energy again like
we just started yesterday.
- Yeah.
- Which is beautiful after 14 years.
15. - I have this, like,
naive energy, like...
- To be able to have a career that long
and be able to still be passionate about it,
like, that is so inspiring.
Like, I really want that.
- Queens, I'm so sorry to interrupt.
I've got to take Caroline and Aino
back to the main stage. [overlapping chatter]
And this is your five-minute warning.
- We're just getting into the juicy stuff.
OK, thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Good luck.
- It's such an honor to meet you.
Like, wow.
- Puss, puss.
That's how you say "kiss, kiss" in Swedish.
Puss, puss. - Puss, puss.
- Puss, puss.
[dramatic music]
- I'm feeling a little bit crushed.
So I'm focused on delivering a performance
in this lip sync.
I'm gonna fight like hell to stay.
But if this is my last time on the main stage,
then I'm gonna give them a fucking show.
- I didn't think I did bad in this challenge,
but Amanda and I got the worst critiques.
I'm afraid I might be up for elimination.
If I have to lip-synch,
I'll let my talent speak for itself,
and it'll keep me here.
- All right, queens, follow me.
It's time to head back to the runway.
- Ooh. - Ooh.
- Goodbye, "Untucked."
- I need to change my shoes.
- You OK?
- Yeah.
I'm trying to focus. - Yep.
I love you, bitch.
- You too. - Oh, your straps, my love.
- Don't help her. She's a bitch.
- No!
- Welcome back, queens.
I've made some difficult decisions.
Amanda Tori Meating, Q,
the time has come for you to lip-synch
for your life.
[dramatic music]
[laughter]
Amanda, my queen,
meeting you wasn't just mandatory.
It has been a joy.
Now sashay away.
[applause]
- Bye.
I'm very disappointed with myself.
I feel like I am a lot better than the way I showed myself.
And that's really, like, gutting.
Well, they got me, gal.
She's such a bitch.
Oh, my God.
They literally all are
laying claims to my wigs.
[laughs]
That's really funny that the girls were
reading me for my drag but wanted me
to leave wigs for them, isn't it?
These rotted bitches.
I'm feeling sad.
I was definitely thinking
I was gonna be here for longer.
But that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Coming in, I think I had an inflated sense
of how I was gonna do.
I did sort of, like, clock my level of polish
being a lot lower than most of the other girls.
The highlight of this experience
has been, like, the friends I made, to be honest.
Like...
that has been really special.
So last week getting to just, like, be on a team
with two of them was really, really nice.
Probably one of my proudest moments
was my Michelle Visage runway because I looked at her.
She was very happy to see this.
- Oh, yes.
Boom.
- They wrote me notes.
- I'm sure there's not one from Jane.
Nope.
All right.
So Morphine said, "To Amanda, it's been
"such an amazing journey and experience.
"I'm so glad we got close.
"You are so beyond talented, and you have such a pure light.
"I'm so sad to see you go so soon.
Love you so much, Morphine."
She drew me a little picture.
I don't know who that's supposed to be.
[laughs]
Xunami said, "Amanda, I'm truly gagged
"to see you go this early.
"But honestly, you've truly made an impact on me
"from such a short time of knowing you.
"Xunami Muse.
PS, leave me that red updo at the top of your shelf, LOL."
The girls want my shit, I swear.
[light music]
Bye, mirrors.
Bye, beautiful camera crew.
Bye, portraits of RuPaul.
Until next time, keep it meaty.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
[laughs] A catastrophe.
What else is new?
This feels correct for me.
This feels very correct for me.
My plan moving forward is be myself and have fun and slay.
Too heavy.
Surely someone could do this for me.
I am a RuGirl now, after all.
I want to show the world that I actually am
good at these things.
[grunts]
The general consensus is Amanda is fierce.
Ugh.
You know you want some more, so come get a taste.
[laughs]
Bye.
[upbeat music]
- [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
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Love
Can you feel the love
