but when I was doing my runway,
Michelle was like, "Oh, it looks like
she got the makeup note, but only on her nose."
- [gasps] - Oh.
- And it's just like,
I made this outfit by hand,
and, like, hand painted it,
and it feels like all of the work
means absolutely nothing because they're like,
"You're not wearing enough makeup"
or some-- like, am I delusional?
Like, do I look awful, or, like--
- You're not delusional. - You look gorgeous.
- No, you could be a professional makeup artist.
It's all about the colors and the techniques you use.
You could still go deeper on the actual complexion,
which is, like, your foundation and your contouring.
I think that would help you a lot.
- Okay, great.
- You should be very happy that you even got critiques
'cause some of us ain't even, like,
get to stand in front of the judges yet
to even know, like, what they're looking for
from us, so we're safe, but it's not great.
- Yeah, of course.
- Like, I want to be in the top.
I want to win.
I want to know, like, what you see,
like, what you expect of Malaysia Babydoll Foxx.
Like, I'm giving my drag and my aesthetic,
but I know that it is something more that is needed
in order for me to be in the top.
- Right, right.
- I totally agree with everything you're saying,
but I'm also a firm believer that everyone
gets a day in the sun, and I'm not delusional
and think, "Oh, I'm an actress. I'ma sing. I'ma dance."
Like, being here is a lot of first for me.
This is my first time ever tackling a challenge like this.
This was my first time working with a group of people
who I really did not know, and I think I learned
a lot about myself, so, like, I think with our group,
I' very happy that the majority of us are here.
- Also, I didn't want us to be in the bottom,
but I could see it potentially happening
because none of us are, like, comedic queens.
Like, we have our funny moments,
but, like, that's not our, like--
"I'm the comedy queen. Yay.
Giggity, giggity."
- I'm just happy that we were able to be able
to pull it off being "the leftovers,"
you know? - Yeah.
- Like, yeah, we had some little road bumps,
but at the end of the day... - A little.
- I think that our concept was very funny.
- Say the line. Say the line.
- Girl, just go with it. - Munch, munch, crunch, crunch.
- Proportionizing!
- It wasn't, like, laugh out loud,
fall on the floor funny, but--
- But I think also, too, like, with you saying the leftovers,
I personally didn't feel like a leftover.
Not to toot my own horn, but I was shocked
I wasn't, like, grabbed up just truthfully.
I know what I could've brought to the table,
and I think that, being in this group,
I wanted to also show that I can let someone else
take the leadership role, which is why Jax lead us.
- Jax, I feel like, was the voice of reason
between all-- not that we're unreasonable,
but at least for me going into it,
I got frustrated 'cause I thought that my team
was just, like, mad that they didn't pick us for the teams
and like, "Oh, we gotta show the girls,"
and I'm just like, "I'm not worried about--"
- And I think we felt the same way about you as well.
- Yeah, so that's why I'm happy for Jax.
- You think Jax is in the top? - Oh, you think Jax in the top?
Oh, baby, no, Jax on the bottom.
[laughter]
- I think a lot of the people
from your group were a little weak.
- Our whole group is in the-- we're safe.
Except for one person. - Yeah.
Your whole group is out there and the group was the fool.

"Oh, step to the back, Sugar,
'cause we need to figure this out."
I was waiting for you to stick up for yourself, bitch.
I would've been, "Oh, no, I'm sitting here."
- I mean--
- I feel like you're afraid to, like, stick up for yourself.
- That's kind of been a theme my whole life
where I kind of just let people walk over me,
and for me, it would've been destructive
to our group if I picked a fight with her.
No, no, that's, like, the comedy.
It's like, "That's Beyoncé," and she--
like, it kind of looks like her.
The cracked out Beyoncé. Like--
- I'm just gonna do this for my own sanity.
- Let me go to the end.
- I'm gonna move you down to the end.
If you keep shoving your two cents in,
I think I'm gonna go insane.
- For me, it's all about fun.
So in that moment, after I got shut down,
I was like, "Okay, let me just take a backseat."
- Bitch, you're still on probation
to being "my daughter." - Okay.
I have to get it together.
- Let me teach you lesson number one.
You do not let a bitch step over you.
You clock 'em the first time so they won't ever do it again.
You have to be mindful of everything,
and do not let people take advantage of you
because if you give someone the opportunity,
they will, not just in drag, in every aspect of your life.
- Look at these words of wisdom.
- Yes, drag mom. - I'm already a little tipsy.
- Yes. - Girl.
- How did y'all feel about you guys' team?
- I think Amethyst might be in the bottom.
- You think so?
- I think Amethyst went exactly how I thought it was,
and I'm happy to be leftover, bitch.
I'm glad I was not on that team.

kind of were a little weak to be honest.

- It was, but I don't think it was no jokes in y'all's at all.
No shade.
- It's a luxury resort that includes...
- Cheek filler and...

- They basically said I looked a mess
in the challenge, but it was really stressful
for me specifically in our group
because I was the one writing everything down.
There wasn't a leader,
but I feel like I fell into that role.
We need to get through everything,
write it all down, and then finalize it on this.
So it just felt a little unfair to me,
and, like, I should have just been like,
"Okay, if they're just gonna improv it,
"I just also have to start steamrolling,
otherwise, I'm just gonna fade into the background."

Let me finish.
So last year, I was considering quitting drag,
and I don't love every aspect of it.
I was looking at other career options,
and then I was like, "I want to give 'Drag Race'
"just, like, one last try.
No matter what happens, I'm gonna be okay with it."
But I was like, "If I'm gonna do it,
"I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna make sure that everything is perfect."
Except for this.
And--
[laughter]
- I love you! Ah!
- And I just didn't want to go home first.
I passed that. I'm good.

I feel like we all should be here to win it, bitch,
so last thing you want is to go home.
- No, I don't want to go home.
- If you're not like--
if you don't with every fiber of your being want it,
then, like, I just think you're not gonna give,
like, 100% of it. - That's not what I'm saying.
[dramatic music]
- And coming from country music and its relationship
with, like, LGBTQ members,
I just want to say I'm sorry.
- Just you being here, like, shows you're a ally.
- I'm gonna cry. I need to go.
- Girl!

but our worlds should not crumble and end

- We're so much more than this.
- Amethyst, how are you feeling about everything?
- It's my worst [bleep] nightmare.
I don't know what else to say, you know?
I feel like I'm making a fool of myself being out here.
- No. - You're not making a fool.
- I want to feel confident, and I felt really good
about yesterday.
- You should feel good. - Hold onto that.
It's all about how you feel.
- Their opinion just means a lot to me.
You know? - Yeah, I know.
- You slayed the lip sync last week,
and it was an opportunity to show what you do.

on that, you know? - I know that.

this massive drag fan, and then when you were critiquing,
you were like, "I was gagged."
She knows the lexicon.
- All the vernacular, yeah. No, I'm obsessed.
I have loved this show for so many years,
and it's crazy how far "Drag Race" has come
because you all look like
you're walking on the finale right now.
It's, like, that level. - Wow.
- As a performer, how do you deal with feedback
and critique?
- You know, it's tough.
Like, I'm 32, but I've been performing
since I was ten.
And, like, "American Idol," I tried out for,
"America's Got Talent," "The Voice."
They all said no,
and I was devastated, obviously,
and now I'm, like, so glad I took the long way
because now, like, people audition
with my songs on those shows.
- Period.
- Like, that is the ultimate payback, girl.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Honestly, just, like, absorb as much as you can,
learn from your sisters here in the workroom,
which, by the way, I cannot believe I'm in here.
This is crazy.
I feel like I've stepped through my TV screen.
- Us too. - You're in Disneyland.
- That's how we feel too.

I gotta take Maren back to the main stage.
