00:07:46,275 --> 00:07:47,895
- Oh, you was dog-walking
the girls.
178
00:07:47,896 --> 00:07:49,585
- I mean,
like, a little bit, yeah.
179
00:07:49,586 --> 00:07:51,343
But doesn't matter now.
- Nope.
180
00:07:51,344 --> 00:07:52,792
- It's an even
fucking playing field.
181
00:07:52,793 --> 00:07:53,999
- Okay.
182
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,688
I'm not sure if the level
of competition has risen
183
00:07:56,689 --> 00:07:58,619
or just my blood pressure.
184
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:01,309
[laughs]
But I ain't scared.
185
00:08:01,310 --> 00:08:02,826
Just because me
and Christa got 6
186
00:08:02,827 --> 00:08:04,930
and some of you other hos
got 7 and 8,
187
00:08:04,931 --> 00:08:08,240
that don't mean that we ain't
gonna come stomp you.
188
00:08:08,241 --> 00:08:09,792
[glass shatters]
189
00:08:09,793 --> 00:08:11,585
- Where are we finna be at?
- I don't know, girl.
190
00:08:11,586 --> 00:08:13,895
Where you want to go?
- I was over here.
191
00:08:13,896 --> 00:08:15,826
But Ms. Silky was
already right there,
192
00:08:15,827 --> 00:08:18,481
so I don't want to be all
the Black girls on one side.
193
00:08:18,482 --> 00:08:20,964
- We can go over there.
Where do you want to go, girl?
194
00:08:20,965 --> 00:08:23,654
- Well, y'all talking about
that, how's that gonna go?
195
00:08:23,655 --> 00:08:25,102
- What?
- You and Silk.
196
00:08:25,103 --> 00:08:27,343
- It has to go nowhere.
- It has to go nowhere.
197
00:08:27,344 --> 00:08:28,999
- Unfortunately,
I don't know her.
198
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,067
- Oh.
199
00:08:30,068 --> 00:08:32,481
- Everybody knows
that me and Silky
200
00:08:32,482 --> 00:08:35,205
had a friendship
that was very deeply rooted.
201
00:08:35,206 --> 00:08:37,067
But there's been
no communication
202
00:08:37,068 --> 00:08:38,964
between the two of us
for over a year now.
203
00:08:38,965 --> 00:08:41,757
And some things
have transpired off camera
204
00:08:41,758 --> 00:08:44,067
that has now put me
in a position
205
00:08:44,068 --> 00:08:46,274
where I can't even
acknowledge her.
206
00:08:46,275 --> 00:08:49,033
- Where's my stuff?
207
00:08:49,034 --> 00:08:51,723
- Ooh, there's too many
strong men around here
208
00:08:51,724 --> 00:08:53,999
for me to carry my own things.
- Okay.
209
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,412
Coming into semifinals,
I feel very confident
210
00:08:56,413 --> 00:08:57,723
in going all the way.
211
00:08:57,724 --> 00:09:01,309
I am so happy with what
I delivered in my bracket.
212
00:09:01,310 --> 00:09:02,792
- Oh, girl...
- [laughs]
213
00:09:02,793 --> 00:09:04,792
- As if life wasn't
already hard.
214
00:09:04,793 --> 00:09:08,378
- And I am very proud
to see A'keria here.
215
00:09:08,379 --> 00:09:10,343
That's my family.
She's my niece.
216
00:09:10,344 --> 00:09:13,274
- The Davenport dynasty
is together.
217
00:09:13,275 --> 00:09:14,343
- Yes, ma'am.
218
00:09:14,344 --> 00:09:15,861
And with this Rate-A-Queen,
219
00:09:15,862 --> 00:09:20,792
having somebody that I know
have my back in the Werk Room
220
00:09:20,793 --> 00:09:23,171
is, like, top-tier.
221
00:09:23,172 --> 00:09:24,240
You come over here with us,
222
00:09:24,241 --> 00:09:25,619
you come over here
with the veterans.
223
00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:27,826
- This rule format--
I'm expecting everyone here
224
00:09:27,827 --> 00:09:29,757
to act a damn fool
the whole time.
225
00:09:29,758 --> 00:09:31,378
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- What does that mean?
226
00:09:31,379 --> 00:09:32,585
- Playing games,
227
00:09:32,586 --> 00:09:33,999
lying, scheming.
- Yeah, yeah.
228
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,757
- Coming back
to the semifinals,
229
00:09:35,758 --> 00:09:37,895
I thought this was
good old-fashioned
230
00:09:37,896 --> 00:09:39,343
standard classic "Drag Race."
231
00:09:39,344 --> 00:09:41,654
Show your pretty dresses,
and, you know,
232
00:09:41,655 --> 00:09:44,102
the judges will decide.
233
00:09:44,103 --> 00:09:47,343
Now this is a game
of social-strategy warfare.
234
00:09:47,344 --> 00:09:49,964
- Ooh, look at our tour sisters
back together.
235
00:09:49,965 --> 00:09:51,516
- Yay.
- Oh, my God.
236
00:09:51,517 --> 00:09:53,067
- Family.
- We did tour together.
237
00:09:53,068 --> 00:09:55,585
- We all did.
We had all 36 states together.
238
00:09:55,586 --> 00:09:57,550
- And now we're competing.
- I know.
239
00:09:57,551 --> 00:09:59,068
- But maybe, you know...
240
00:10:01,482 --> 00:10:04,550
- You know, the Rate-A-Queen
is very interesting.
241
00:10:04,551 --> 00:10:06,481
In my preliminary round,
242
00:10:06,482 --> 00:10:09,862
my social aspect of the game
wasn't the best.
243
00:10:12,034 --> 00:10:13,274
- Obviously.
244
00:10:13,275 --> 00:10:14,585
- I put April.
245
00:10:14,586 --> 00:10:16,826
- Silky got me good.
246
00:10:16,827 --> 00:10:18,447
So, in the semifinals,
247
00:10:18,448 --> 00:10:21,240
I'm not gonna count
on anyone looking out for me.
248
00:10:21,241 --> 00:10:22,930
- I'm a little gagged.
- Gagged.
249
00:10:22,931 --> 00:10:24,895
'Cause that means
everyone has an opinion now.
250
00:10:24,896 --> 00:10:26,171
- I know.
251
00:10:26,172 --> 00:10:27,999
- We all usually do.
[laughs]
252
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,343
This is gaggy,
253
00:10:29,344 --> 00:10:31,585
'cause we control
the girls in the bottom now.
254
00:10:31,586 --> 00:10:33,481
You're blocking
my camera, bitch.
255
00:10:33,482 --> 00:10:34,895
- Then move.
Find another one.
256
00:10:34,896 --> 00:10:36,412
- You move,
you little feather duster.
257
00:10:36,413 --> 00:10:38,550
Oh, I love rating.
Yeah, I'm professional, baby.
258
00:10:38,551 --> 00:10:39,757
I rate queens every day.
259
00:10:39,758 --> 00:10:42,895
Honey, I look at them
and go, trash, horrible.
260
00:10:42,896 --> 00:10:43,999
[laughs]
261
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,792
- Jasmine,
you can shut the fuck up.
262
00:10:45,793 --> 00:10:47,757
- No. Did I shut up
the first time?
263
00:10:47,758 --> 00:10:49,619
- You'll learn.
- No, I don't think I will.
264
00:10:49,620 --> 00:10:51,274
- I don't think
you will either, girl.
265
00:10:51,275 --> 00:10:52,757
Put a cork in it, girl.
266
00:10:52,758 --> 00:10:54,378
- It gets a little
nerve-racking just in general
267
00:10:54,379 --> 00:10:55,792
because it's a social game.
268
00:10:55,793 --> 00:10:58,550
So maybe I should shut up.
269
00:10:58,551 --> 00:10:59,723
Probably won't.
270
00:10:59,724 --> 00:11:01,757
Now I have to be nice?
271
00:11:01,758 --> 00:11:03,826
- Jasmine, go ahead
and get packed, girl.
272
00:11:03,827 --> 00:11:05,240
- [laughing]
273
00:11:05,241 --> 00:11:07,000
- [laughing]
274
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,241
- [laughing]
275
00:11:12,827 --> 00:11:14,343
- Ooh.
- We got to give storyteller.
276
00:11:14,344 --> 00:11:16,240
- Ooh! Oh!
- They choreographed the dance.
277
00:11:16,241 --> 00:11:18,309
- It's time
to write our material
278
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:20,309
for the Tell Me Something Good
story hour.
279
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:23,274
And I'm ready
to tell a story, bitch--
280
00:11:23,275 --> 00:11:26,757
Dr. Seuss style,
Mother Goose style.
281
00:11:26,758 --> 00:11:29,757
It is my time
to redeem myself...
282
00:11:29,758 --> 00:11:32,343
because the last time
I did a similar challenge,
283
00:11:32,344 --> 00:11:33,861
I was in the bottom.
284
00:11:33,862 --> 00:11:36,067
- For this challenge,
you have to be willing
285
00:11:36,068 --> 00:11:38,964
to act a fool,
to be a complete idiot.
286
00:11:38,965 --> 00:11:41,792
And I know that's hard
for you, Sam.
287
00:11:41,793 --> 00:11:43,999
- I was definitely too focused
on being perfect.
288
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,895
So, this time,
we're gonna have fun.
289
00:11:46,896 --> 00:11:48,550
I hope.
290
00:11:48,551 --> 00:11:49,861
[laughs]
291
00:11:49,862 --> 00:11:51,792
I'm just hoping
I can impress the girls,
292
00:11:51,793 --> 00:11:54,619
and, you know,
if I'm not in the top,
293
00:11:54,620 --> 00:11:56,516
hopefully the girls don't put
me on the bottom.
294
00:11:56,517 --> 00:11:57,999
You know?
- Right.
295
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,585
The social aspect--
296
00:12:00,586 --> 00:12:02,964
I think
that we have an advantage
297
00:12:02,965 --> 00:12:04,550
because there's four
from our bracket.
298
00:12:04,551 --> 00:12:05,930
- I hope we can use that.
299
00:12:05,931 --> 00:12:08,102
- Are we going to have
a Bracket 3 alliance?
300
00:12:08,103 --> 00:12:11,619
I hope so, because to have
the majority of the group
301
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:13,861
have my back--sickening.
302
00:12:13,862 --> 00:12:15,654
- No, they're very quiet
over there.
303
00:12:15,655 --> 00:12:16,757
- Think they're scheming?
304
00:12:16,758 --> 00:12:18,240
- Do you think
they're scheming?
305
00:12:18,241 --> 00:12:19,481
Joey likes to scheme.
306
00:12:19,482 --> 00:12:21,067
I don't know--
Joey was, like, a little snippy
307
00:12:21,068 --> 00:12:22,412
with me during Bracket 3.
308
00:12:22,413 --> 00:12:24,343
And also, too, like,
I am the vibe checker.
309
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:26,412
And there was something
about her energy.
310
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:28,240
She was always
maybe a little sly.
311
00:12:28,241 --> 00:12:30,585
So, you know, I definitely have
an eye on her.
312
00:12:30,586 --> 00:12:32,931
- Do you want to scheme?
- What are we scheming about?
313
00:12:34,793 --> 00:12:37,343
- Our alliance could be,
like, if you flop,
314
00:12:37,344 --> 00:12:39,585
I won't put you last.
- [laughs]
315
00:12:39,586 --> 00:12:41,585
- Jasmine is probably
the girl in the room
316
00:12:41,586 --> 00:12:43,585
that I'm the closest with.
317
00:12:43,586 --> 00:12:45,516
But I'm not very close
with her.
318
00:12:45,517 --> 00:12:47,757
I've met her
maybe two or three times.
319
00:12:47,758 --> 00:12:49,102
We're both from New York.
320
00:12:49,103 --> 00:12:50,826
And I want to have something.
321
00:12:50,827 --> 00:12:53,067
Like, I want to make sure that,
like, someone knows
322
00:12:53,068 --> 00:12:54,585
that, like, I'm in their court
323
00:12:54,586 --> 00:12:56,448
so that hopefully
they'll be in my court.
324
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,309
- I'm not even gonna lie.
325
00:13:01,310 --> 00:13:03,378
I was supposed to give you
that last point.
326
00:13:03,379 --> 00:13:05,654
And I really beat myself up
for that
327
00:13:05,655 --> 00:13:07,585
because I didn't think
I would make it to the top.
328
00:13:07,586 --> 00:13:09,067
- Yeah, I know
where your mind was.
329
00:13:09,068 --> 00:13:11,102
- And, you know, I don't want
you to think
330
00:13:11,103 --> 00:13:14,412
that, like, I did that
out of any malice or ill will.
331
00:13:14,413 --> 00:13:16,240
I really did think I was gonna
make it to the top.
332
00:13:16,241 --> 00:13:19,412
- We're all here for ourselves,
but, like, I am here for you...
333
00:13:19,413 --> 00:13:20,930
- I'm here for you.
334
00:13:20,931 --> 00:13:24,274
- In the meantime, until we get
to that last second, you know.
335
00:13:24,275 --> 00:13:27,240
I believe that Silky
really genuinely feels bad.
336
00:13:27,241 --> 00:13:29,274
So I forgive my sister.
337
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:32,067
Going forward, you know,
I'm not gonna, like,
338
00:13:32,068 --> 00:13:33,930
put all my trust in Silky.
339
00:13:33,931 --> 00:13:37,447
But I think that she will have
my back a little bit more
340
00:13:37,448 --> 00:13:39,723
than she did before,
when it comes to Rate-A-Queen.
341
00:13:39,724 --> 00:13:42,585
- All of my challenges
that I've won on "Drag Race"
342
00:13:42,586 --> 00:13:44,895
have been nothing but comedy.
- Mm-hmm.
343
00:13:44,896 --> 00:13:48,516
- So I'm thinking about talking
about where it started--
344
00:13:48,517 --> 00:13:51,274
being a class clown--
and just tell some stories
345
00:13:51,275 --> 00:13:53,412
about getting my ass whupped
in school.
346
00:13:53,413 --> 00:13:54,999

- No.
347
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,999
- Oh, your mama beat you?
348
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,585
- [laughing] Yeah.
- She should.
349
00:13:57,586 --> 00:14:00,688
- I feel strong on the stage
with a mic in my hand,
350
00:14:00,689 --> 00:14:03,447
so I'm excited
about this challenge.
351
00:14:03,448 --> 00:14:05,757
This is the opportunity
for us to, like,
352
00:14:05,758 --> 00:14:08,999
just relax
and have fun with it.
353
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,274
I'm a very organic speaker.
354
00:14:11,275 --> 00:14:14,033
I don't like to write
a script full out
355
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,999
because what I have written
would ultimately be
356
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,481
too rehearsed,
and then I start to fuck up.
357
00:14:19,482 --> 00:14:21,067
- I'm nervous.
358
00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:23,792
- Do you have funny moments
that you can talk about?
359
00:14:23,793 --> 00:14:25,205
- I don't think I'm a comedian,
360
00:14:25,206 --> 00:14:27,240
so I don't know how to say,
you know...
361
00:14:27,241 --> 00:14:29,550
knock, knock, who's there?
362
00:14:29,551 --> 00:14:31,067
- [laughs]
363
00:14:31,068 --> 00:14:35,240
- Yeah, like,
it's just not my gig.
364
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:37,619
To tell a story
to my younger self
365
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:39,619
in hopes that
it will be funny--
366
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:42,619
it's kind of,
like, ugh, cringey.
367
00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:44,999
But I say whatever comes
to my mind.
368
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,723
So it's, like...
it could be funny.
369
00:14:47,724 --> 00:14:50,309

on what I want to talk about.

00:14:54,241 --> 00:14:55,930
What?
Don't eat noodles?
373

my younger self something...
374
00:14:58,931 --> 00:15:00,792

joining us for today's meeting.

379

380
00:15:11,206 --> 00:15:13,240
- It's time for our table read
381
00:15:13,241 --> 00:15:16,412
with Mama Ru and Evan Mulrooney
382
00:15:16,413 --> 00:15:19,412
for our Tell Me Something Good
storytelling time.
383
00:15:19,413 --> 00:15:21,757
- Now, I'm not going
to ask you to tell us
384
00:15:21,758 --> 00:15:25,723
what your story is that you're
gonna do on the main stage.
385
00:15:25,724 --> 00:15:28,309
But I want you
to tell us a story,
386
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:32,274
and then Evan and I will help
shape that story,
387
00:15:32,275 --> 00:15:36,619
if it needs it,
into a better, tight storyline.
388
00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:39,861
All right, so who wants
to start first?
389
00:15:39,862 --> 00:15:43,792
Now, Jasmine, your first kiss,
your first car,
390
00:15:43,793 --> 00:15:44,964
or your first wig.
391
00:15:44,965 --> 00:15:48,136
- Ooh, let's do first kiss.
392
00:15:48,137 --> 00:15:51,136
So there's this man,
like a Matthew McConaughey...
393
00:15:51,137 --> 00:15:52,895
- Okay.
- Very, very rugged.
394
00:15:52,896 --> 00:15:54,171
- Yeah.
395
00:15:54,172 --> 00:15:55,930
- Always kind of, like,
looking me up and down.
396
00:15:55,931 --> 00:15:57,964
One day, he took me aside,
and, you know--
397
00:15:57,965 --> 00:16:00,274
- Where were you? What--
- I was at church.
398
00:16:00,275 --> 00:16:02,033
- Oh, at church.
Uh-huh.
399
00:16:02,034 --> 00:16:04,481
- I was sitting there,
you know, on my knees...
400
00:16:04,482 --> 00:16:07,412
[laughter]
401
00:16:07,413 --> 00:16:10,067
Praying that, you know,
one day,
402
00:16:10,068 --> 00:16:12,550
God would give me someone
that could treat me right.
403
00:16:12,551 --> 00:16:15,895
- It's already hilarious!
[laughs]
404
00:16:15,896 --> 00:16:18,067
- He held me
on the chinny-chin-chin.
405
00:16:18,068 --> 00:16:19,067
- Uh-huh.
406
00:16:19,068 --> 00:16:21,033
- And he kissed me...
- Oh, God!
407
00:16:21,034 --> 00:16:22,964
- On the cheek as a blessing.
408
00:16:22,965 --> 00:16:24,861
- How beautiful.
409
00:16:24,862 --> 00:16:26,654
- Girl, RuPaul
is loving my lies
410
00:16:26,655 --> 00:16:27,826
and fables about the priest.
411
00:16:27,827 --> 00:16:30,309
So, if she's giggling
this hard now,
412
00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:32,757
I can't wait to see how she is
when I tell my story.
413
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:34,895
- And Dawn is back.
- Hi. How are you?
414
00:16:34,896 --> 00:16:36,723
- Hi, Dawn.
Did you go back to Brooklyn?
415
00:16:36,724 --> 00:16:38,274
- I sure did.
416
00:16:38,275 --> 00:16:40,585
- So what was the first thing
you did when you got back home?
417
00:16:40,586 --> 00:16:43,585
- Oh, my God. The first thing
I did was, well, went to bed.
418
00:16:43,586 --> 00:16:45,585
And then the second
I woke up,
419
00:16:45,586 --> 00:16:48,861
I was really interested
in feeding my soul.
420
00:16:48,862 --> 00:16:50,412
So I got on Grindr.
421
00:16:50,413 --> 00:16:53,930
[laughter]
422
00:16:53,931 --> 00:16:58,067
I think this challenge
does play to my strengths...
423
00:16:58,068 --> 00:17:01,999
if only just because
I love just say stupid shit.
424
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,585
- I have one question.
- Shoot.
425
00:17:03,586 --> 00:17:05,723
- So I'm very long-winded.
426
00:17:05,724 --> 00:17:08,895
And I could tell a story, and
I can add, add, add, add, add.
427
00:17:08,896 --> 00:17:11,930
How do I stay within the lines
but make sure
428
00:17:11,931 --> 00:17:15,309
I keep the punch line and
the three parts of the story?
429
00:17:15,310 --> 00:17:18,757
Child, I can go and tell
what each person wore,
430
00:17:18,758 --> 00:17:21,861
'cause I still remember it,
what they breath smelled like.
431
00:17:21,862 --> 00:17:23,826
But I also be up there
for ten minutes.
432
00:17:23,827 --> 00:17:28,102
- I think where people go
astray with storytelling
433
00:17:28,103 --> 00:17:30,585
is starting to talk
about things
434
00:17:30,586 --> 00:17:32,102
that don't add to the story.
435
00:17:32,103 --> 00:17:35,723
Don't go into this rabbit hole
of embellishing things
436
00:17:35,724 --> 00:17:37,861
that don't matter.
- Mm-hmm.
437
00:17:37,862 --> 00:17:40,757
Listening to that advice,
it's very encouraging.
438
00:17:40,758 --> 00:17:43,585
Especially after winning
my how-to challenge
439
00:17:43,586 --> 00:17:46,447
in my preliminary bracket,
I know I can do this.
440
00:17:46,448 --> 00:17:48,412
- You know what I want to do?
I want to go around the table.
441
00:17:48,413 --> 00:17:50,826
I want to say,
when you think of A'keria,
442
00:17:50,827 --> 00:17:53,309
what's the first thing
you think of, right?
443
00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:55,999
So this exercise is to give
you an idea of the consensus
444
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,585
of how you make fun
of yourself.
445

'Cause when I think of A'keria,
I say, ooh, all that ass.

- Yeah.
447
00:18:01,275 --> 00:18:03,274
- So, A'keria, when you think
of Sam Star, first thing.
448
00:18:03,275 --> 00:18:04,619
- Country.
- Country?
449

What about you, Jasmine?
- Cousin fucker.

- That's funny, though.
- Write that down.
453
00:18:15,793 --> 00:18:17,240
- Jasmine, what do
you think of Joey Jay?
454
00:18:17,241 --> 00:18:20,309
- Chicken feathers.
- Chicken feathers!
455
00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:21,757
- That's the first thing
I think of.
456
00:18:21,758 --> 00:18:23,412
- What a bitch.
- All right, all right.
457
00:18:23,413 --> 00:18:25,240
A'keria, what's the first thing
you think of Joey Jay?
458
00:18:25,241 --> 00:18:26,309
- Two points.

I'm still sitting
with all y'all.
462

I am a wild card.
463
00:18:35,586 --> 00:18:38,240
So they probably don't see me
as competition.
464
00:18:38,241 --> 00:18:40,757
- You know, Joey Jay is gay.
465

- And dumb.
- And dumb.

in these notepads?

your first bicycle.

I hated English.

00:20:38,413 --> 00:20:40,550
which usually runs in my favor.
517
00:20:40,551 --> 00:20:42,481
- I'm feeling very good
about this challenge.
518
00:20:42,482 --> 00:20:43,792
I memorized it, so...
519
00:20:43,793 --> 00:20:46,067
- Yeah, are you gonna be using
note cards, Silky?
520
00:20:46,068 --> 00:20:47,274
- No, I'm not using cards.
521
00:20:47,275 --> 00:20:48,585
- No cards?
- No cards.
522
00:20:48,586 --> 00:20:50,412
- Love it.
You, Crystal?
523
00:20:50,413 --> 00:20:52,240
- You know,
I'm just gonna wing it.
524

[laughter]
525
00:20:53,758 --> 00:20:55,999
- Child, you know you playing.
526
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,136
Crystal is very calculated.
527
00:20:58,137 --> 00:21:00,550
Sure, she was struggling
in that workshop,
528
00:21:00,551 --> 00:21:05,205
but knowing that old kooky,
conceptual bitch...
529
00:21:05,206 --> 00:21:07,205
baby, I know it's probably
gonna be a good story.
530
00:21:07,206 --> 00:21:08,619
I ain't even gonna lie.
531
00:21:08,620 --> 00:21:13,102
- After the workshop with Ru,
I got some more ideas...
532
00:21:13,103 --> 00:21:15,067
- Yeah.
- To spice it up.
533
00:21:15,068 --> 00:21:18,343
I did some changes,
some additions.
534
00:21:18,344 --> 00:21:20,723
- Fucking cousins?
- Exactly.
535
00:21:20,724 --> 00:21:21,895
- Got it.
536
00:21:21,896 --> 00:21:23,895
How are you feeling
about Rate-A-Queen?
537
00:21:23,896 --> 00:21:26,171
[dramatic music]
538
00:21:26,172 --> 00:21:27,481
- I don't know.
539
00:21:27,482 --> 00:21:29,826
I think I'm genuinely
just gonna wait and see
540
00:21:29,827 --> 00:21:32,757
who I think didn't do
the best for now.
541
00:21:32,758 --> 00:21:34,205
- Yeah.
- You know what I mean?
542
00:21:34,206 --> 00:21:35,757
I feel like it's so early.
543
00:21:35,758 --> 00:21:39,240
- I'd like to think that my
Bracket 3 sisters have my back,
544
00:21:39,241 --> 00:21:42,240
as I would them.
545
00:21:42,241 --> 00:21:44,412
Like, I'm just wondering
if, like, the brackets
546
00:21:44,413 --> 00:21:46,861
are gonna, like, stick
with each other.
547
00:21:46,862 --> 00:21:49,067
- Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
548
00:21:49,068 --> 00:21:51,205
- I don't know.
- I haven't talk to them.
549
00:21:51,206 --> 00:21:54,067
- But Sam's not giving me
anything to work with.
550
00:21:54,068 --> 00:21:57,757
So, at this point,
it is a mindfuck.
551
00:21:57,758 --> 00:22:00,585
I'm trying to build these bonds
and relationships.
552
00:22:00,586 --> 00:22:03,861
- Who would y'all consider
to be your closest friend
553
00:22:03,862 --> 00:22:05,067
here at the moment?
554
00:22:05,068 --> 00:22:06,585
- I think...
555
00:22:06,586 --> 00:22:10,171
I have a lot of people
that I'm close to.
556
00:22:10,172 --> 00:22:12,102
Like, I'm friends
with everyone.
557
00:22:12,103 --> 00:22:16,895
- Well, I'm close to A'keria
because she's my niece.
558
00:22:16,896 --> 00:22:19,930
- Yeah, I mean, I know Silky
and Jasmine the most.
559
00:22:19,931 --> 00:22:21,792
I spent the most time
with them.
560
00:22:21,793 --> 00:22:23,240
- How about you, A'keria?
561
00:22:23,241 --> 00:22:25,930
- Kennedy. That's the closest
person I'm in here.
562
00:22:25,931 --> 00:22:27,378
- And...?
563
00:22:27,379 --> 00:22:29,481
♪ ♪
564
00:22:29,482 --> 00:22:30,861
Yeah.
565
00:22:30,862 --> 00:22:32,482
- You know,
Jasmine, I realize...
566
00:22:36,275 --> 00:22:39,413
I just don't expect A'keria
to rank me fairly.
567
00:22:43,068 --> 00:22:45,585
But, honestly, I don't have
any words for her any longer,
568
00:22:45,586 --> 00:22:49,171
and it's because of what
she said on social media.
569
00:22:49,172 --> 00:22:51,930
She told everybody
that I was talentless.
570
00:22:51,931 --> 00:22:54,240
She talked
about my weight-loss journey.
571
00:22:54,241 --> 00:22:55,930
She questioned my character,
572
00:22:55,931 --> 00:22:58,585
about me being a good person
and a reverend.
573
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:01,172
Uh-uh. It just
don't sit well with me.
574
00:23:03,310 --> 00:23:04,550
- Mm-hmm.
575
00:23:04,551 --> 00:23:06,067
- You have other people,
too, that, you know,
576
00:23:06,068 --> 00:23:08,447
like, are there for you and,
like, will watch out for you,
577
00:23:08,448 --> 00:23:09,964
so...
578
00:23:09,965 --> 00:23:12,067
- With this whole
Rate-A-Queen thing,
579
00:23:12,068 --> 00:23:14,343
I'ma try to play it,
for the most part, fairly,
580
00:23:14,344 --> 00:23:18,274
because if I was to do
some shady business,
581
00:23:18,275 --> 00:23:19,723
the girls could find out
582
00:23:19,724 --> 00:23:22,102
and automatically come
for me next week.
583
00:23:22,103 --> 00:23:24,585
- I would say
I would probably be closest
584
00:23:24,586 --> 00:23:26,240
to all the Bracket 3 girls,
585
00:23:26,241 --> 00:23:28,067
I mean, just because
we've had so much time
586
00:23:28,068 --> 00:23:29,412
to get to know each other.
587
00:23:29,413 --> 00:23:30,895
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.
588
00:23:30,896 --> 00:23:32,481
- How do you feel like the
points went down in Bracket 3?
589
00:23:32,482 --> 00:23:35,067
- I feel like we were
all eager to play the game,
590
00:23:35,068 --> 00:23:36,999
but we didn't have
very many opportunities
591
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,412
to be alone with someone,
so, like--
592
00:23:39,413 --> 00:23:41,861
- I don't know.
I saw you a couple times.
593
00:23:41,862 --> 00:23:43,412
- [laughs]
594
00:23:43,413 --> 00:23:45,240
- Well, I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
595
00:23:45,241 --> 00:23:47,067
You wanted to go there,
we could go there.
596
00:23:47,068 --> 00:23:48,585
- I didn't go anywhere, girl.
597
00:23:48,586 --> 00:23:50,999
- Vibe change tonight.
- [laughs]
598
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,654
- Oh, my God, girl.
599
00:23:52,655 --> 00:23:54,861
- I was okay with how
the game was played.
600
00:23:54,862 --> 00:23:57,481
I just honestly feel
like I couldn't rely
601
00:23:57,482 --> 00:23:59,240
on anybody at that time.
602
00:23:59,241 --> 00:24:01,309
- It seems like y'all have
a lot of drama
603
00:24:01,310 --> 00:24:02,826
in y'all bracket.
[laughter]
604
00:24:02,827 --> 00:24:04,550
- We got a little.
605
00:24:04,551 --> 00:24:07,619
- Being that this is
my fourth time competing,
606
00:24:07,620 --> 00:24:12,205
I feel like I was put
in the category of a threat
607
00:24:12,206 --> 00:24:13,757
in this tournament.
608
00:24:13,758 --> 00:24:15,309
So, hell, yeah,
that's gonna apply
609
00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:16,654
to the Rate-A-Queen situations,
610
00:24:16,655 --> 00:24:18,999
because now if I don't win
the challenge,
611
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,723
they are gonna use
that opportunity
612
00:24:20,724 --> 00:24:22,033
to put me in the bottom.
613
00:24:22,034 --> 00:24:23,792
- My season was the first
that had Rate-A-Queen.
614
00:24:23,793 --> 00:24:25,067
- Ooh.
615
00:24:25,068 --> 00:24:27,723
Well, did the cast vote
based on performance,
616
00:24:27,724 --> 00:24:29,550
or did they use
a little bit of strategy?
617
00:24:29,551 --> 00:24:31,033
- There were definitely
friendships
618
00:24:31,034 --> 00:24:32,240
taken into account, you know?
619
00:24:32,241 --> 00:24:33,861
It's like, if you've known
someone for years
620
00:24:33,862 --> 00:24:35,481
and they didn't do
a good job,
621
00:24:35,482 --> 00:24:37,067
you're not gonna
put them seventh.
622
00:24:37,068 --> 00:24:39,171
You're gonna put them
fourth or fifth.
623
00:24:39,172 --> 00:24:42,895
So there's definitely, like...
624
00:24:42,896 --> 00:24:45,585
a piece of dread
going into this.
625
00:24:45,586 --> 00:24:47,757
You know, even though me
and Jasmine spoke briefly
626
00:24:47,758 --> 00:24:49,412
about an alliance yesterday,
627
00:24:49,413 --> 00:24:52,585
she has personal relationships
with a bunch of other people.
628
00:24:52,586 --> 00:24:54,205
And then the rest
of these girls--
629
00:24:54,206 --> 00:24:56,550
I can't trust them
as far as I can throw them.
630
00:24:56,551 --> 00:24:58,964
They know that
I tore up Bracket 1.
631
00:24:58,965 --> 00:25:01,861
And if they see a chance
to get me out of here,
632
00:25:01,862 --> 00:25:03,447
I don't think
they wouldn't take it.

is to always savor

She said, one, two...
1038
00:42:06,482 --> 00:42:09,412
By three, the bitch was
already inside of me.
1039
00:42:09,413 --> 00:42:11,861
Oh, I wanted to jump up,
but I couldn't,
1040
00:42:11,862 --> 00:42:14,171
because she had already
did one side.
1041
00:42:14,172 --> 00:42:16,412
I laid my ass on down
and got the other one.
1042
00:42:16,413 --> 00:42:19,964
Needless to say,
still lost the pageant.
1043
00:42:19,965 --> 00:42:22,550
So moral of the story is,
1044
00:42:22,551 --> 00:42:25,412
sometimes you do things
that you'll regret.
1045
00:42:25,413 --> 00:42:28,895
But every lesson
is a life lesson.
1046
00:42:28,896 --> 00:42:30,930
And I don't live
with any regret.
1047
00:42:30,931 --> 00:42:34,412
It is what it is,
and I am who I am today--
1048
00:42:34,413 --> 00:42:36,861
fine, healthy, and free.
1049
00:42:36,862 --> 00:42:39,240

you'd like to say

to your younger self?
1057
00:42:55,551 --> 00:42:57,688
- Little baby Samantha,
1058

you're not gonna have
to serve to serve.
1059
00:43:01,172 --> 00:43:04,826
If you couldn't tell
from my outfit or my accent,
1060
00:43:04,827 --> 00:43:07,757
I am from all the way down
in Alabama.
1061
00:43:07,758 --> 00:43:09,999

for many things--

Shout-out to Cousin Billy.
I love you.

But if you know a lot
about the South,
1066
00:43:21,137 --> 00:43:24,999
you know that it's like a damn
religion to be into sports.
1067
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,757
And as a little kid,
I wanted to blend in,
1068
00:43:27,758 --> 00:43:30,585
and I tried my best
to be like the other boys.
1069
00:43:30,586 --> 00:43:33,240
So I said,
why not give sports a try?
1070
00:43:33,241 --> 00:43:35,723
My dad was very excited.
1071
00:43:35,724 --> 00:43:38,723
The first sport that I wanted
to try out was soccer.
1072
00:43:38,724 --> 00:43:40,378
Girl, it was a disaster.
1073
00:43:40,379 --> 00:43:43,585
The only thing that I liked
about soccer was my cleats,
1074
00:43:43,586 --> 00:43:46,792
because it was kind of like
I was wearing high heels, okay?
1075
00:43:46,793 --> 00:43:49,103
Soccer is gonna be strike one.

Next up, I thought,
let me try out baseball.
1078
00:43:57,068 --> 00:44:00,792
Girl, they always made me
play the outfield.
1079
00:44:00,793 --> 00:44:04,102
I didn't mind, though, because
I did like to braid the grass.
1080
00:44:04,103 --> 00:44:06,826
I also didn't mind the view
I got of Rickey,
1081
00:44:06,827 --> 00:44:09,412
who played second base, 'cause
he had a nice tight ass.
1082
00:44:09,413 --> 00:44:11,930
- Uh-huh.
- Shout-out to you, Ricky.
1083
00:44:11,931 --> 00:44:16,240
So that is gonna have to be
our strike two.
1084
00:44:16,241 --> 00:44:19,585
[grunts effeminately]
- [laughing wildly]
1085
00:44:19,586 --> 00:44:23,240
- In middle school, I said,
let me try out tennis.
1086
00:44:23,241 --> 00:44:26,585
The shorts were shorter,
and the boys were cuter.
1087
00:44:26,586 --> 00:44:28,550
My crush Blake played with me.
1088
00:44:28,551 --> 00:44:30,654
But when I found out
he only cared
1089
00:44:30,655 --> 00:44:32,895
about hitting the balls
and not on me,
1090
00:44:32,896 --> 00:44:34,516
I lost interest quickly.
1091
00:44:34,517 --> 00:44:37,136
That's gonna be
our strike three.

Now, little baby Samantha,
1094
00:44:41,931 --> 00:44:44,171
they're gonna say
that you are not athletic.
1095
00:44:44,172 --> 00:44:45,481
But don't worry, bitch.
1096
00:44:45,482 --> 00:44:48,171
Just wait till you find a wig
and a pair of heels,
1097
00:44:48,172 --> 00:44:49,723
and you're gonna realize
1098

you're not gonna have
to be great at sports

Let me tell you,
life ain't all calm waters.
1109
00:45:19,586 --> 00:45:22,412
It's a voyage full of mutiny,
1110

- [gasps]
1112
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,792
- It's 1997.
I'm only six years old.
1113
00:45:29,793 --> 00:45:33,930
And my family's just set sail
from sunny California
1114
00:45:33,931 --> 00:45:37,274
and dropped anchor
in Ozark, Missouri.
1115
00:45:37,275 --> 00:45:39,757
I was super anxious
about starting school.
1116
00:45:39,758 --> 00:45:42,102
My mom introduced me
to our neighbor Danny,
1117
00:45:42,103 --> 00:45:45,378
who was a fifth grader
with brown hair and freckles--
1118
00:45:45,379 --> 00:45:48,343
totally my type at the time.
1119
00:45:48,344 --> 00:45:50,274
And the rules were simple.
1120
00:45:50,275 --> 00:45:52,585
When Danny gets on the bus,
you get on.
1121
00:45:52,586 --> 00:45:55,205
And when Danny gets off,
you get off.
1122
00:45:55,206 --> 00:45:59,309
Well, on this particular day,
Danny didn't get on the bus.
1123
00:45:59,310 --> 00:46:01,309
He was probably doing
something sporty,
1124
00:46:01,310 --> 00:46:03,654
like football or wrestling.
1125
00:46:03,655 --> 00:46:06,136
And as I fantasized
about all the cute costumes
1126
00:46:06,137 --> 00:46:07,895
Danny might be wearing,
1127
00:46:07,896 --> 00:46:11,447
Bob, the bus driver,
started on our route home.
1128
00:46:11,448 --> 00:46:13,343
I played with my little
friendship bracelet
1129
00:46:13,344 --> 00:46:16,136
that I'd given myself
as I stared out the window,
1130
00:46:16,137 --> 00:46:19,585
when, suddenly,
my house sailed by.
1131
00:46:19,586 --> 00:46:23,654
The only safe harbor that
I knew, gone in an instant.
1132
00:46:23,655 --> 00:46:25,585
So there I am,
1133
00:46:25,586 --> 00:46:29,171
a city girl from California
in misery,
1134
00:46:29,172 --> 00:46:31,102
going to who-knows-where.
1135
00:46:31,103 --> 00:46:34,171
Should I say something to Bob?
What would I even say?
1136
00:46:34,172 --> 00:46:35,516
I'm only six.
1137
00:46:35,517 --> 00:46:38,240
Who am I to criticize this man
on how to do his job?
1138
00:46:38,241 --> 00:46:40,585
So I clung to my backpack,
1139
00:46:40,586 --> 00:46:43,067
and I watched
as every single child
1140
00:46:43,068 --> 00:46:45,067
got dropped off home safe.
1141
00:46:45,068 --> 00:46:47,964
And I rode until the bus
went back to the bus depot.
1142
00:46:47,965 --> 00:46:49,550
- Oh.
1143
00:46:49,551 --> 00:46:51,723
- I thought, well,
this is where I'm gonna live
1144
00:46:51,724 --> 00:46:54,102
the rest of my life.
1145
00:46:54,103 --> 00:46:56,999
I started going through
my backpack for rations.
1146
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,067
Score!
A granola bar.

00:46:59,068 --> 00:47:01,309
We're eating good tonight.
1148
00:47:01,310 --> 00:47:04,309
As I laid out all my supplies
on the seat,
1149
00:47:04,310 --> 00:47:07,654
I was totally unaware
of Bob doing final rounds,
1150
00:47:07,655 --> 00:47:09,619
when he looked down at me.
1151
00:47:09,620 --> 00:47:11,343
Well, shit, he said.
1152
00:47:11,344 --> 00:47:15,585
So Bob, my personal chauffeur,
drove me home.
1153
00:47:15,586 --> 00:47:20,033
Needless to say, my mom never
let me ride the bus again.
1154

00:49:34,034 --> 00:49:36,895
- Is that a peacock,
or is she just happy to see us?
1211
00:49:36,896 --> 00:49:38,999
- This is a work of art.
1212
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,033
- This is one of my favorite
dresses I've ever made.
1213
00:49:43,034 --> 00:49:46,481
I am completely shining
from head to toe.
1214
00:49:46,482 --> 00:49:49,930
Every petal has
its own reflective rhinestone.
1215
00:49:49,931 --> 00:49:53,067
I have my 20-inch liquid
beaded fringe for my arm.
1216
00:49:53,068 --> 00:49:55,378
- This looks very light.
- [chuckles]
1217
00:49:55,379 --> 00:49:59,033
- I know Ru is asking
for this dress on the inside.
1218
00:49:59,034 --> 00:50:00,999
You can have it for 200,000.
1219
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,550
- And the bead goes on.

00:50:09,379 --> 00:50:11,412
- Well, the first openly.
- That's right.
1223
00:50:11,413 --> 00:50:12,999
- A pioneer.
1224
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:17,378
- I am wearing
a crystal-dripping gown
1225
00:50:17,379 --> 00:50:19,378
with gold detailing.
1226
00:50:19,379 --> 00:50:21,309
- Just your average Joe.
1227
00:50:21,310 --> 00:50:23,861
- I'm not just attending
an awards show.
1228
00:50:23,862 --> 00:50:26,654
I've just accepted 18 Oscars.

00:50:26,655 --> 00:50:28,136

00:50:32,310 --> 00:50:34,930
I wonder what Sam's cousin
will think of this.

00:50:34,931 --> 00:50:38,033

I'm giving you

But the best part
of the outfit--

00:50:42,827 --> 00:50:44,964
I have heels on my tits,
1237
00:50:44,965 --> 00:50:47,412
heels on my hips,
matching heels on.

00:50:47,413 --> 00:50:49,723
- Yes, this bitch is pumped.

00:50:49,724 --> 00:50:52,136
I wonder if she used

00:50:52,137 --> 00:50:53,723
- Yes.

That's what I'm giving

00:51:04,827 --> 00:51:07,102
I have my beautiful chignon
1247
00:51:07,103 --> 00:51:08,585
with my little waves
in the front
1248
00:51:08,586 --> 00:51:12,861
and streaks of navy blue
and my red lip and red pumps.

Welcome, queens.
1254
00:51:27,758 --> 00:51:32,067
"Tournament of All Star" rules
are in full effect.
1255
00:51:32,068 --> 00:51:35,999
Tonight I'll name the one
top All Star of the week,
1256
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,033
who will receive
a cash tip of $10,000.
1257
00:51:40,034 --> 00:51:43,067
Then the rest of you
will Rate-A-Queen
1258
00:51:43,068 --> 00:51:47,585
to determine the bottom two
All Stars of the week.
1259
00:51:47,586 --> 00:51:49,757
Those two will lip-sync
for their lives,
1260
00:51:49,758 --> 00:51:54,309
and one All Star
will be eliminated.
1261
00:51:54,310 --> 00:51:57,136
Now it's time
for the judges' critiques,
1262
00:51:57,137 --> 00:52:00,274
starting with Dawn.
1263
00:52:00,275 --> 00:52:02,240
- When I got high
for the first time in my life,
1264
00:52:02,241 --> 00:52:03,964
I also called
the police on myself.
1265
00:52:03,965 --> 00:52:05,619
But instead
of hiding the evidence,
1266
00:52:05,620 --> 00:52:07,792
I told the cops that I got
the weed from my mom,
1267
00:52:07,793 --> 00:52:08,964
which was true.
1268
00:52:08,965 --> 00:52:10,619
One thing I would say
about the story is,
1269
00:52:10,620 --> 00:52:12,757
I wanted to see
a little bit more embellishing
1270
00:52:12,758 --> 00:52:14,378
about your friends,
who the dealer was,
1271
00:52:14,379 --> 00:52:15,550
where you got the weed from.
1272
00:52:15,551 --> 00:52:17,412
- It was my dad.
[laughter]
1273
00:52:17,413 --> 00:52:18,585
- See, kismet.
1274
00:52:18,586 --> 00:52:21,067
- It did wander
a little bit for me.
1275
00:52:21,068 --> 00:52:22,550
My recommendation
to everybody is,
1276
00:52:22,551 --> 00:52:25,205
if you can get there quicker,
do it.
1277
00:52:25,206 --> 00:52:27,102
- This look...
1278
00:52:27,103 --> 00:52:29,274
it's unbelievably good.
1279
00:52:29,275 --> 00:52:31,585
I love how it's architectural.
1280
00:52:31,586 --> 00:52:33,585
And it just kind of swoops
and wraps around
1281
00:52:33,586 --> 00:52:35,136
and makes you look
10 feet tall.
1282
00:52:35,137 --> 00:52:37,999
- Dawn, you always know
how to pull yourself together.
1283
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,792
You have quite the eye.
1284
00:52:40,793 --> 00:52:43,619
Up next, Silky Nutmeg Ganache.
1285
00:52:43,620 --> 00:52:44,723
This look--
1286
00:52:44,724 --> 00:52:46,930
ooh, come on,
"Ebony" Fashion Fair.
1287
00:52:46,931 --> 00:52:49,378
- Sexual chocolate.
1288
00:52:49,379 --> 00:52:50,723
- Gorgeous.
1289
00:52:50,724 --> 00:52:53,171
- Now, you better preach,
Pastor,
1290
00:52:53,172 --> 00:52:56,930
because I was so engrossed
in your storytelling.
1291
00:52:56,931 --> 00:52:59,067
- Y'all may know her
as the choir director,
1292
00:52:59,068 --> 00:53:01,136
but I knew her as my mama.
1293
00:53:01,137 --> 00:53:05,102
- I was very impressed
with how you held back,
1294
00:53:05,103 --> 00:53:08,343
'cause I know, bitch,
you can go on and on and on.
1295
00:53:08,344 --> 00:53:10,999
Up next, Crystal Methyd.
1296
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,033
- This look tonight--this is
crazy and it shouldn't work.
1297
00:53:14,034 --> 00:53:16,792
But it's
so beautifully crafted.
1298
00:53:16,793 --> 00:53:18,309
It's just fantastic.
1299
00:53:18,310 --> 00:53:21,688
- Yeah, in your story, that
Napoleon look was dynamite.
1300
00:53:21,689 --> 00:53:23,309
It was so fun.
1301
00:53:23,310 --> 00:53:27,033
- The wordplay, the misery,
Missouri--so clever.
1302
00:53:27,034 --> 00:53:30,723
- A city girl from California
in misery.
1303
00:53:30,724 --> 00:53:33,550
- This was so tight and
polished and professional.
1304
00:53:33,551 --> 00:53:36,378
- It was so heartfelt and funny
at the same time.
1305
00:53:36,379 --> 00:53:37,895
It was that perfect mixture
1306
00:53:37,896 --> 00:53:42,447
of melancholy
and ridiculousness
1307
00:53:42,448 --> 00:53:44,033
that is Crystal Methyd.
1308
00:53:44,034 --> 00:53:47,205
What did you leave
out of the story?
1309
00:53:47,206 --> 00:53:50,481
- That I had started
killing rats for food.
1310
00:53:50,482 --> 00:53:52,757
[laughter]
1311
00:53:52,758 --> 00:53:54,550
[quirky music]
1312
00:53:54,551 --> 00:53:57,067
- Glad you left that out.
- Yeah.
1313
00:53:57,068 --> 00:53:59,481
- Up next, Kennedy Davenport.
1314
00:53:59,482 --> 00:54:01,999
- Ooh, Kennedy,
there was so much whupping
1315
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,033
going on in that story,
but the characters were funny.
1316
00:54:05,034 --> 00:54:06,999
- I don't know necessarily
what the big takeaway
1317
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,274
of the story was,
1318
00:54:08,275 --> 00:54:10,861
but I was scared for my life
1319
00:54:10,862 --> 00:54:12,516
when you came out
as your mother.
1320
00:54:12,517 --> 00:54:16,067
And the commitment
to that switch was awesome.
1321
00:54:16,068 --> 00:54:18,343
- You certainly know
how to dress for a red carpet.
1322
00:54:18,344 --> 00:54:20,895
Here, in this outfit,
it's all there--
1323
00:54:20,896 --> 00:54:22,343
beginning, middle, and end.
1324
00:54:22,344 --> 00:54:24,792
And that's what was missing
from your story.
1325
00:54:24,793 --> 00:54:27,378
It wasn't concise enough.
1326
00:54:27,379 --> 00:54:29,723
I would love
for it to have been
1327
00:54:29,724 --> 00:54:32,412
about one very specific time
1328
00:54:32,413 --> 00:54:34,895
that was easier to follow,
you know?
1329
00:54:34,896 --> 00:54:36,067
- Yes, ma'am.
1330
00:54:36,068 --> 00:54:39,654
- Up next,
A'keria C. Davenport.
1331
00:54:39,655 --> 00:54:41,826
- This look tonight is art.
1332
00:54:41,827 --> 00:54:43,205
Who did it?
- I did.
1333
00:54:43,206 --> 00:54:46,895
- A'keria,
from every bugle bead
1334
00:54:46,896 --> 00:54:49,895
to every scale,
it's so beautiful.
1335
00:54:49,896 --> 00:54:52,136
- It reminds me
of a Mugler dress.
1336
00:54:52,137 --> 00:54:55,826
- Alien.
- Yes, it is extraordinary.
1337
00:54:55,827 --> 00:54:57,343
- Thank you.
1338
00:54:57,344 --> 00:55:00,171
- I really enjoyed your story.
It was such a unique story.
1339
00:55:00,172 --> 00:55:02,619
I was like, the feed store and
all the different needle sizes.
1340
00:55:02,620 --> 00:55:05,171
- There's a rabbit needle.
Okay, not too bad.
1341
00:55:05,172 --> 00:55:08,447
- I thought that was just
so interesting.
1342
00:55:08,448 --> 00:55:10,895
But I think
that behind the changing area
1343
00:55:10,896 --> 00:55:12,171
wasn't needed.
1344
00:55:12,172 --> 00:55:13,861
That kind of takes us
out of the moment.
1345
00:55:13,862 --> 00:55:15,792
We're like, where's she going?
What's she doing?
1346
00:55:15,793 --> 00:55:17,378
And that can get you
in trouble.
1347
00:55:17,379 --> 00:55:18,895
- You know, it takes
a lot of bravery
1348
00:55:18,896 --> 00:55:20,516
to tell that story
and to be that honest.
1349
00:55:20,517 --> 00:55:21,930
It's really fascinating.
1350
00:55:21,931 --> 00:55:25,550
I think it's a six-part
HBO series, honestly.
1351
00:55:25,551 --> 00:55:28,240
Up next, Joey Jay.
1352
00:55:28,241 --> 00:55:29,619
- So your storytelling--
1353
00:55:29,620 --> 00:55:32,757
that gag with
the sound-effect machine...
1354
00:55:32,758 --> 00:55:34,861
we were all hysterical
because of it.
1355
00:55:34,862 --> 00:55:37,343
Your writing is top-notch.
- Thank you.
1356
00:55:37,344 --> 00:55:39,895
- And I just think maybe
getting away from the cards
1357
00:55:39,896 --> 00:55:41,757
would have helped a little bit.
1358
00:55:41,758 --> 00:55:43,412
- I think having the cue cards
1359
00:55:43,413 --> 00:55:46,309
along with the sound board
was brilliant.
1360
00:55:46,310 --> 00:55:50,481
I loved the idea of, like, the,
like, real coordinated, okay...
1361
00:55:50,482 --> 00:55:53,274
- Yeah, play to your strengths.
- Perfect.
1362
00:55:53,275 --> 00:55:54,688
Keep it stupid, girl.
1363
00:55:54,689 --> 00:55:56,688
- I think this look tonight
is gorgeous.
1364
00:55:56,689 --> 00:55:59,378
For me, I would have liked
a black shoe,
1365
00:55:59,379 --> 00:56:01,895
only so it brings out
the chiffon.
1366
00:56:01,896 --> 00:56:04,447
But it's just
really pretty, Joey.
1367
00:56:04,448 --> 00:56:07,274
- You know, Joey Jay,
"All Stars" is designed
1368
00:56:07,275 --> 00:56:10,481
to lift up some of the girls
who didn't get to shine before,
1369
00:56:10,482 --> 00:56:12,826
and you are
the perfect example of that,
1370
00:56:12,827 --> 00:56:14,999
and we are all here for it.
1371
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,585
Up next, Sam Star.
1372
00:56:17,586 --> 00:56:19,688
- First and foremost, you...
1373
00:56:19,689 --> 00:56:22,550
had me at "cousin fucking."
1374
00:56:22,551 --> 00:56:24,930
I was in.
- Your story was fine.
