[singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"
May the best drag queen win, best drag queen win
You all right, babe?
Are you ready to go again?
Well, strap in and strap on, 'cause season five
is about to go off!
[upbeat pop music]
- The fun girl's arrived, and I'm ready to murder these bitches.
I'm Tomara Thomas.
I'm 25, and I'm all the way from Hartlepool.
If you come to a Tomara Thomas show,
you will see hair whipping, leg kicking,
split jumping, splitting my fanny on the floor.
First one in the Werk Room.
Hello, season five!
Sex, that's what you'll see.
[laughs]
Look at the reflection.
Ooh!
And the drag scene in Hartlepool is dead.
Look at the ass.
There's not even a gay bar for us poor bastards.
She feels like a winner.
She looks like a winner.
I moved to London, and I spread my little gay legs,
and I've never looked back.
[laughs] Sorry, Mum, if you're watching.
Ooh.
I just flashed my tits.
This is season five of "Drag Race UK,"
and I'm gonna be the best.
[laughs]
[swing music]
- Thank God you can't smell me.
[laughs]
My name is Banksie.
I'm a slim, vibrant woman in her mid-20s
with a lust for life and a flexible spine.
Ooh, you like it? Yeah.
Which actually is a complete lie because I've basically got rickets.
[chuckles]
- Yoo-hoo! - Hello.
- Hey, baby girl.
You must be freezing. - Oh, no.
Mwah! - Mwah! Mwah!
- I am serving you naked, glamour, nonbinary realness.
- I'm Tomara. - I'm Banksie.
- Nice to meet you, Banksie. - Nice to meet you. Mwah.
Kind of like to be an experimental fashion illustration--
the big feet and the long legs and big head
but with these gorgeous, flowy gowns and costumes all placed around it.
- Well, I mean, you look fabulous.
- Thanks.
Skinny Minnie, you know what I mean?
- 8-foot-long model. - Yeah.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Manchester. Where are you from?
- The northern girls are in the house!
- Northern girls. - The northern girls are in the house!
- You might know a drag queen called Cheddar Gorgeous.
And she is technically my drag gender nonconforming parental figure.
- Ooh! - [trilling]
- Look at the nails. Look the nails.
- Cheddar was a big fat loser.
And now I am here to take the crown.
[laughs]
Sorry, that was so rude!
- Bitch, I'm liking you already.
You're my favorite. - Exactly.
Well, I'm the only one here. But it's completely fine.
- Yeah. That's fine. - It's completely fine.
- That's f-- [laughs]
[elegant music]
OK, Miss Thing.
- Let me hear you say, hey, yo, Miss Carter.
[record scratches, music winds down]
[upbeat music]
I'm Miss Naomi Carter.
I'm 23, and I come from sunny Doncaster,
but to locals, Dirty Donny.
[indistinct chatter]
- Where are you from? - Doncaster.
- Oh, God.
- We've got, like, one gay bar. - Yeah.
- So it's not very busy. - That's what Hartlepool's like.
No gay bars in Hartlepool. So at least it's better than Hartlepool.
- Exactly.
There's not much of a gay scene in Doncaster.
So unfortunately, I've had to pack my bags and move to Hull.
- So I'm guessing your name is Naomi Campbell
and Beyoncé Carter.
- Yes! How did you get that? - Oh, my God.
Like-- - I'm not uneducated totally.
- I sound more like Jay-Z, if I'm being honest.
[laughs]
- Oh, my God, I love her accent.
I'm obsessed.
She sounds like someone's granddad.
[as Miss Naomi Carter] Oh, yes.
- Rough and ready. That's me. - We're better rough and ready.
- You know, baby. - We can't go wrong.
- She sounds like the voice of the Waltzers.
[as Miss Naomi Carter] Do you want to go faster?
So, Naomi, what are you known for?
- I'd say for being, like, a bit gobby...or gobby.
- Stop it. - Ooh!
- Gobbledy-gobbledygoop.
- Goop. [laughter]
Stop. - We live a little goopy.
[upbeat music]
- All right, lasses.
Michael Marouli on season five?
Oh, uh-huh.
Hi, I'm Michael Marouli.
I'm a daft, camp Geordie bastard with a heart of gold
and a flair for the dramatic.
- She do got big hoops. [laughter]
- All the better to sit on your face.
[laughter]
Reason I'm not called Patty O'Doors or anything like that...
- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Michael in and out of drag.
Girls, can you believe this? - I know, right?
- Jesus.
Call me he, call me she, as long as you call me.
- How long you been doing drag?
- 15 years.
- Love that. - Amazing.
- 15 years, yeah.
So I'm an all-round entertainer. - Oh.
- I host.
I perform, do comedy, sing, all that kind of thing.
- She's been doing drag for 15 years.
I mean, I've never heard of her before. Camp.
[laughs]
- Tomara Thomas. - Tomara Thomas.
- I follow you on Instagram. - Do you?
- Uh-huh. I do.
- I don't follow you back, but I will after this.
[laughter]
- #Blocked.
[laughter]
To be honest, I don't think the girls have got a clue of who I am,
just the look of bewilderment in their eyes.
They're like, oh.
I don't think they had a fucking clue.
So I work in Gran Canaria.
- Gran Canaria? - Oh, wow.
- Has anyone else ever performed in Gran Canaria?
- No, I haven't.
- So for those of you out there that have never been to Gran Canaria,
it's basically a concrete gay jungle.
And at night, dear God.
Sun, sex, sangria, and filth.
[laughter] - Sounds like my kind of place.
I can't believe I've never been.
- It's marvelous. You'd fit right in.
- I bet I would.
[bright music]
- Heathcliffe, it's me.
I'm Cathy.
I've come home.
Ooh, I'm so cold.
Why, hello, Jill.
My name is Kate Butch.
I am 26 years old,
and I'm the biggest dickhead in Derbyshire.
- Is that a bow in your hair, or are you just happy to see us?
[laughter]
- Both.
I describe myself as the Comic Sans of drag:
instantly relatable but ultimately tragic,
like your mum's friend Sue, who's just discovered memes
and then immediately had a nervous breakdown.
Mwah. - What's your name?
- Kate, Kate Butch.
- Kate Butch, lovely to meet you. - Yes.
Not like the singer, with a T for legal reasons.
[laughter]
I am mainly known as a stand-up comedian.
I don't do what a lot of drag queens do and put on a wig
and dick about in a pub being mean to people
and call that stand-up comedy.
I call that my day off.
[party horn toots]
Stand-up nonsense situation.
- Ooh.
- Award winning, maybe.
- What was it, first prize at Crufts?
[laughter]
- I've won second prize in a beauty competition
on six games of "Monopoly," thank you.
[laughter]
I am not your classic pretty, gorgeous, modelesque drag queen.
I am the dinner lady from down the street
with a fleece with a picture of a wolf on it.
[wolf howling]
- Where are you representing?
- I am from the famous town of Buxton, Derbyshire.
Got some famous water.
- Yeah. - Oh, yes.
The Buxton water. - Can you fill it up?
- Fill anything up in Buxton, my dear.
- I bet you can. Why do you think I went?
[laughter]
[dramatic choral music]
- You're joking.
- Yeah.
- Kneel for your goddess.
[cheers]
Yeah, my name's Cara Melle.
I'm 26, and I'm from London, but...
[with American accent] I'm actually from Atlanta, Georgia.
[laughs]
[queens exclaiming]
- Show us the back.
- Would say I'm quite well known.
I'm a high-energy dance performer.
I can sing. I can dance.
I can whatever the fuck you need me to do.
Hey. - Hey!
- Oh! Oh!
Fuck out of here!
- Of course I know of Cara Melle.
She is Beyoncé.
Also an absolute trans icon of the UK drag scene.
- Fancy seeing.
- I told you, when I see you, it's on sight, bitch.
Let's go, bitch. - Let's go! Let's go!
- Well, I know this one.
My God.
Little roomie. [laughs]
- Unfortunately, I am a housemate with this one.
- Honestly, that's all I hear on a night.
[thumping] - Yeah!
Listen, we live together.
I do have that sisterly bond with her,
where I love her, but I hate her at the same time.
And I just want to put my arm around her and just
choke her ass out.
- Is that an accent I hear?
- So I'm originally from Atlanta.
But I came here for university, OK?
And then drag kept me here.
I felt like the London scene was me.
And even when I've gone back to the States to perform,
I have never felt the same overwhelming support
that I have here.
- How long have you been performing for?
- Child, I've been performing since I came out of my mama's coochie.
- Nice and seasoned.
- I think Miss Tomara might be the--
- I might be the--
- The freshest so far. - The freshest.
I mean, you can tell. Look at me.
Youse are all haggard as fuck.
- Ah! Well, you'll be haggard when you're being sent home.
- Oh, really? - [laughs]
- We'll see, bitch. We'll see.
[sprightly music]
- That toilet's blocked.
[toilet flushes]
[laughter]
- Who is that?
I'm Ginger Johnson,
and I am a helium balloon in the shape of a woman.
- Red and green should never be seen.
[laughter]
Oh, it's orange. - It's orange.
- I was about to say.
- Ginger is inspired by some of the amazing women
that I grew up around in the North East,
so the lady that ran the paper shop...
Hi!
The ladies in the Red Cross shop
that let me go and try on dresses after school.
- Where are you from?
- I am originally from County Durham.
- Oh, yes. - Oh, yes. North Easter in the house.
- Northerners are in the house.
I'm from Hartlepool.
- Oh, fabulous. - Yes.
- Where are you from, Michael? - Newcastle.
It's brilliant. There's so many queens from the North East.
Just having that accent in the room immediately makes me feel at home.
- Basically, we're all rough AF. - Yes.
- Speak for yourself.
- Like, yeah, well, we go to Greggs
and suck off people behind Asda, do you know what I mean?
That's our thing in the North East.
It's just nice to have that little sisterhood.
- What can we expect at a Ginger show?
- Oh, all sorts of things.
I write my own shows. - Oh!
- So the star of your own show. I see how that is.
- Well, I try. I try.
I've been doing drag for 15 years.
And I am a writer, director, puppeteer,
and known for being able to eat eight 10-inch hot dogs
in two and a half minutes.
Oh, it's so fab to be here.
It's so pink. Wow. - I know.
- It's like a migraine waiting to happen.
- It's like a big, massive bumhole, isn't it?
[laughter]
- Well, don't know what bumholes you've been looking at.
- Mine ain't that pink. [laughter]
Mine is not that pink.
[upbeat music]
- Oh, Lord. - She looks stunning.
- Well, this isn't the drive-through.
But I'm still about to eat.
[laughter]
- Oh, she hungry.
She's starving, baby.
- Hello, world. It's me, DeDeLicious.
I am the ultimate MILF of drag.
And the kids are at Darren's, so I'm here to have a good time.
- Delusional.
[laughter]
- DeDeLicious is first and foremost--foremost?
For--whatever.
Hi.
She is a performer.
I like to be silly. I like to have comedy elements.
She has it all, really.
Today wasn't my makeup day, but I think I did all right.
Is it good? Is it good? It's good?
I was just fishing for compliments.
- I knew you were. I knew you were.
You're that girl, huh?
- Yeah, I'm that girl. - You are.
- In London, I have a very strong drag family.
We pretty much run Soho.
Sorry about it.
I think I am most known for, if we're talking drag relations--
- Oh!
- I am the drag sister, not daughter, of Krystal Versace.
- Oh, yeah.
- See the resemblance.
- So no pressure at all.
We've known each other since we were, like, 11 years old.
We came to London together.
A lot of my journey is her journey.
And then she went on "Drag Race," and she won.
But I think it's about time I take my crown.
This is my passion. This is my drive.
I've done, like, the most sacrifice for this, so...
- But you're here now, baby. - And I'm here now.
Season five, let's fucking go!
[all screaming]
[cabaret music]
- Ooh!
- All right, boys, want a bite of my pasty?
- Yes, bitch. [laughter]
- Hey, I'm Vicki Vivacious.
I'm 36 years old. and I'm the cabaret queen of Cornwall.
- What in the name of God's she doing here?
[laughter]
- So I'm giving you Cornish Joan Collins realness.
[all screaming]
- I do know Vicki.
And she looks absolutely stunning, as always.
- My sister!
- Oh, baby.
I think Vicki's pasty probably tastes a bit like desperation
and despair, old fingernails from clinging on for dear life,
something like that.
- I am the first Cornish girl to appear on "Drag Race UK."
- Work.
- This is a bit more glamorous than I'm used to.
I'm normally cleaning cow shit off my shoes.
[laughter]
So I do between six and nine shows a week.
And I also perform in all the barracks all around the country,
performing for our armed forces.
I like to think of myself as a sexy drag Vera Lynn.
So I'm a cabaret queen.
So I sing, dance, act, tell a good dad joke.
- Oh.
- Yeah. - Tell us one now.
[music winds down]
[laughter]
- The biggest misconception of my drag is,
people think I've got a stick up my ass
because I'm slightly regimented.
Maybe it's the military, those barracks boys rubbing off on me.
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
- Oh.
- First we stole your jobs.
Now I'm gonna take your crown.
[queens cheering]
Hi, my name is Alexis Saint-Pete.
I'm 28 years old, and I'm your favorite Polish export.
- Get a black light on that.
You'll see some stains.
- Alexis is a clown trapped in a supermodel body
with a big passion for performing.
I was gonna say penis, but I can't say that.
Hello.
What's going on with me? Jesus Christ.
Yes, I'm Polish.
I think I'm the first-ever Polish queen to be on "Drag Race."
[all cheering]
When I came into the UK when I was 12,
I wanted to be a ballet dancer.
- What happens at an Alexis show?
- Lots of dancing, lots of seduction.
I wanted to be a ballet dancer.
I couldn't be because I was too short.
But I knew that I always wanted to be under a spotlight.
And voilà, here I--oh, I don't know why I did it in French
because I'm Polish, but here I am.
- So the four of us were in a lip-sync competition together.
- Oh, were you? - Yes, we were.
- Who won? - I did.
- As a Polish queer person,
to be representing my country in my new homeland,
it just feels amazing.
But it feels right.
I'm really excited.
So if I speak a little bit fast
and you don't understand what I'm saying...
And you just pretend I'm funny, I guess.
- Just laugh. Just laugh.
[laughter]
[siren wailing] - Oh, my God.
Stop, stop.
[all screaming]
- It's our first-ever RuMail.
[siren wailing]
That siren is very loud.
Can we do anything about that?
- Her Majesty done already done had herses.
My royal subjects...
- [gasps]
- In polite society,
if one wants to come first, one must endeavor
to always make a good first impression.
But, child, if you want to win, you better prove you is
once, twice, three times a ladykins.
[laughs]
- It's happening, honey.
- Ooh.
- Hello, hello, hello.
[queens screaming]
You all right, babes?
- We're all right, babes.
- I just can't take my eyes off her.
She's almost a mythical creature.
It's like meeting Kermit the Frog.
That's me out today, isn't it?
I've said that RuPaul's like Kermit the Frog.
Pack your bags, Ginger.
[laughs]
- Welcome to "RuPaul's Drag Race UK" five.
[all cheering]
Now, over 1,000 queens applied to compete.
But it's your sickening charisma,
uniqueness, nerve, and talents
that snatched my attention.
And your breath had a little something to do with it.
[laughter]
#DragRaceUK.
One of you will be crowned the UK's next "Drag Race" superstar.
- Yes. - Give it to me. Give it to me, baby.
[laughter]
- This season's champion will create their very own series,
produced by the twisted minds behind "RuPaul's Drag Race."
- Yes!
- Oh, Brit crew.
- Stop it. - Oh, finally.
- Stop it. - Hello.
- Yes. - I'm not sure I'm old enough.
- Stare at them.
- Well, my queens, for your very first Maxi Challenge,
we're throwing a Fierce Impressions Ball.
- Ooh. - Oh.
First impressions?
I got this.
I mean, I'm a bad bitch.
- You'll be judged on three looks.
First look: daytime drag.
And surprise!
It's what you're wearing right now.
[record scratches]
- What?
- That's right, while you were making your Werk Room entrances,
the judges were watching.
- So we're getting judged on those entrance looks,
which is a bit of a shocker.
But I'm just glad that I'm dressed bloody lovely.
- Second look: up in the club.
- Hey!
- You need to serve a hot club look
that impresses a group of internationally famous jet-setters--
- Oh.
- Yes, darling, who I've invited to help judge.
- Yes, baby.
- Let's go.
- I'll give you an hour to pull yourselves together, girlies.
And then I'll meet you down at the club.
Tickety-boo. Bob's your uncle.
[laughter]
Oh, and by the way, I just learned tickety-boo,
so you'll be hearing that a lot this season.
[laughter]
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
[queens screaming]
[RuPaul's "Just What They Want"]
[singing] I know you wanna work
Boom, check it, boom, we opening the doors
Taking applications, we scope out the floors
Of the room, she focused on the floor
Potential sensation, the belle du jour tryin' to bloom
She hoping for some more coin, dressed for the ball
But she ready for the wartime
Fire resides inside her
The fever, got an open mind, but she always keep her
They wanna see you work, work, work
Yay.
- What?
[laughter]
[people exclaiming]
- OK.
OK.
- I walk in and see these international "Drag Race" queens.
My stomach falls out of my ass.
[queens cheering]
[indistinct chatter]
- Is it a walk-off?
- Get it.
I just saw me mate Sminty.
She's over there.
Hey, love.
- I see how it is now.
- Welcome to Club Tickety-Boo.
[laughter]
Give a big welcome to "Drag Race" royalty from around the globe.
[queens cheering]
[queens screaming]
- Who would have thought that Pangina and Jimbo
would have been at the same club?
I reckon that they'd have been fighting outside it.
- Racers, this category is about your look
and your presentation.
And our VIP queens' reactions
will be taken into consideration by the judges tomorrow.
All right, up first, Tomara Thomas.
- Yes. - Yes!
- Wow. - It's all about performance.
And, bitch, can I perform.
- Yeah, baby.
- Sit back and relax and enjoy.
- Come on, gimme more.
[cheers and laughter]
- Tomara was an amazing starter.
She can really move.
And she is making the girls nervous.
- My little fanny pack.
- Up next, Banksie.
I smell a rat.
- Aw, rats.
- I'm not afraid of a catwalk.
But, oh, my God, I've got to dance after Tomara.
And so I kind of find a new approach for me
to be memorable.
- She thinks she's the big cheese.
[laughter]
- Banksie's one of my Manchester sisters.
But you've got a runway right now and you are not using it, OK?
- Miss Naomi Carter.
This is the other Mrs. Carter.
- OK.
- Now, Miss Naomi--
amazing.
That mug is stamped.
We say that in America.
It is signed, sealed, delivered.
- Michael Marouli.
- Newcastle in the house.
- Yeah, baby. [laughter]
- Up in the club, I'm serving futuristic pop star,
leather, diamonds, sunglasses, the lot.
- Yes. Come on, bitch.
- There's something about Michael Marouli's look
that is really giving me that fun aunt in Ibiza
with her girls.
- Yes!
- She's here to party.
- Kate Butch.
- Oh, she butch, all right.
- Come on, girl.
- I am making it my goal to make some kind of first impression.
- Oh.
- I'm dropping things. I'm losing shoes.
I'm falling to the floor.
- Oh, medic.
- And I'm trying not to be sick.
- Medic.
- Kate Butch--I mean, I'm not a dancing
and kicking and spinning and twirling queen myself.
So I love that she's giving us camp.
- Ginger Johnson.
- Ru, how ginger is her johnson?
- That's a good question, Michelle.
- In my drag life, I do a lot of strutting around
and showing off my nice outfit.
But normally, I've had a cider or three.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Also, RuPaul isn't normally sat six feet away from me
and a crowd of bitches on the other side judging me, you know?
[laughter]
Reversing. I'm reversing.
- Ginger Johnson is serving Poison Ivy's older sister.
And I'm ready to get poisoned.
Except those shoes are toxic.
[laughs]
- Cara Melle.
- Go on, Cara. - Go on, girl.
Yes, baby.
- Oh, Pangina, Pangina, Pangina.
I'll give you something to cry about.
- Come on, baby.
Yes.
- Ha, wow.
- Check out these dance moves.
[laughs]
[queens cheering]
- Cara Melle--she is giving everything in the face, in the body.
She's everything I needed to give the floor an STI.
- I know.
I know.
- DeDeLicious. - Bam.
- Oh. - She's serving.
- Wow. - Let's go, bitches.
[queens cheering]
This is the best club I have ever been to.
You guys should come sometime.
But it's only for VIPs.
- She came to the ball.
[queens exclaiming]
- Oh, girl, the wig.
- Oh, no.
- The wig. Oh, the wig.
- Just pull it forward.
- Girl, no.
No, this is not happening.
This is not happening to me right now.
- Oh! - Gonna go.
- Oh, my God.
But OK.
Oh.
- My wig.
- What a tragedy.
- Wah!
- This is worse than Romeo and Juliet.
- Vicki Vivacious.
- Oh, she's stunning. Look at her.
- Vicki Vivacious is, I believe,
the drag daughter of Bianca Del Rio and the doll from "Saw."
You want to play a game?
- Oh!
- [laughs] - Oh.
- I need to show Ru that I don't care about looking silly.
I'm gonna whip my skirt off.
- Yes!
[laughter]
Baby, I don't death drop.
I Sminty Drop.
- [laughs]
- She's definitely twerking.
She's definitely stealing everything I've ever done in my life.
But it was cute.
I'll give her extra points for the fact
that she acknowledged my existence.
- Stunning.
- Yes, perfection.
- Alexis Saint-Pete.
- Oh!
- Giving me whiplash.
- Yeah.
[queens exclaiming]
- Oh, wow.
Alexis Saint-Pete?
More like Alexis Saint-Teat.
Those are some knockers, mama.
- It's milking time.
[laughter]
- Those tits are on fire.
[all screaming]
- I nearly fell off the stage.
But little do they know, I meant to do that.
Duh.
- Wow, that was fun.
- It was something.
- Let's give it up for our legendary "Drag Race" royalty.
- Yes!
- Now, tomorrow, on the main stage,
the third and final category is...
Fierce Impressions Eleganza Extravaganza.
- Yes.
- A showstopping look that is quintessentially you.
So good luck, and don't fuck it up.
- Come on, girls. Let's go.
Yes.
We did it.
- Yes!
- We're back in the Werk Room, and the club was a nightmare--
literally awful.
- How you feeling, girl?
- Yeah, obviously, not what I wanted at all.
- You did it.
- Wigs coming off heads are a big, big nope in "Drag Race."
I can't sit here and be like, oh...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Poor me, because the minute you start to do that...
- Exactly. - Yeah, exactly.
- There's no way.
I really hope that my looks can save me.
It's a mishap.
But first wig to come off on "Drag Race UK,"
and it had to be me.
It had to be me. [laughs]
- Right. - Right, let's unpack.
- Let's get to unpacking, baby. - Let's go, girls.
- [sighs]
- My lustrous locks.
- Come cut me out of my corset. - Oh, cut you out of your corset?
- Yeah. - I can do that.
Let me just--let me just quickly--
- Ah! - Just work the wig.
- You don't want to keep it, do you?
- Oh, no.
Absolutely not. - You're good.
- Thank you.
- Oh, did you want something camp, did you?
- Ooh.
Oh, she reflective.
- Oh, she's ever so shiny.
The energy in the room is palpable.
Everyone's so excited to find out everything about everyone,
see what everyone's brought...
- Look at us two eggs. - Is it Easter?
- And see how many people are gonna cry at some point
over the next 10 weeks.
- [grunts] I just need a man.
DeDe, can you help me?
- Did you just--ah!
- Come and join. Wrap yourself in some olive oil.
- Oh, my God.
- You'll have a great time.
- Oh.
Ugh.
- You were brilliant today.
- Thank you. How do you feel?
- Yeah, I'm genuinely hoping that my look saves me tomorrow.
I just don't think-- - But you didn't do a bad job.
- I didn't think I did a bad job.
I mean, I didn't have any fuck-ups.
And my wig didn't come off. - Your wig didn't come off.
Your whip didn't hit you in the face. Your tits didn't hit you in the--
- Fall out, yeah. So how are you feeling, girlie?
- I mean, I'm feeling pretty good.
For years, I've been wanting to be on this show,
since, like, season one.
But I'm so happy that I wasn't on at that time,
going through that horrible gender dysphoria, child.
- Oh, my God, that gender dysphoria, girl.
It'll get you. - It hurts.
This is my sixth time auditioning for "Drag Race."
And I know that it's my time now, coming out as a trans woman,
because it just allowed me to finally be myself
and go onstage so much more confidently.
Now that I've become comfortable with who I am,
I feel like I can do this competition and, you know, just be.
- Just be completely, authentically yourself.
- Yeah, and it feels good.
- That's incredible, babe.
- I feel like I am on the right road,
living my full life as a trans woman.
And I love it.
We're here.
- We're here, sister.
[upbeat music]
[laughter]
- Steady, steady, steady.
- It's Elimination Day.
And I'm feeling a bit nervous.
This season, we have been judged from the second
we walked into the Werk Room.
Let's look in this terrifying bag of tricks.
I love a ball, but I don't think I gave
the performance that I'm capable of at Club Tickety-Boo.
- Ugh.
- I have been cast with a load of dancing queens.
They have got the moves.
And I have got the fear.
- Who do you think is, like, the biggest competition so far?
- Mm, I'd probably say Miss Naomi Carter.
[laughs]
- Who's that? - Who's that? That's me, bitch.
- Is it?
[laughter]
- How long have we known each other now?
- Years.
- Do you remember when we did Pride
and you were my backing dancer?
- What's that, 15 years ago?
- God, that's mad, isn't it? - That is mad.
- I'm getting a bit emotional about it,
just 'cause, obviously, we are a little bit older.
It's just nice to have someone that understands
where we come from, our generation.
- 100%.
- We know what it's like to try, get knock backed in this business.
I've put so much work into my career.
I had a record deal that fell through.
I've done music videos that never got released.
There has been times, of course, when you think,
am I just not good enough?
Is this not for me?
I've worked hard.
I've done the really shit gigs, got changed in beer barrels,
you know, stinking of piss.
- Rainy winter nights, driving 400 miles
to a show to four people, and the barman
will offer you a drink.
It's like--you know.
- Girl, like, to be here now, like, it is emotional
'cause I just think we've fucking worked our balls off,
do you know, and I know you get that.
To finally get this validation after working so hard,
I can't put it into words.
And to anyone out there, please stick with your dreams.
You carry on. You keep going.
And make it happen for yourself.
Yeah.
- DeDe, baby.
- Yes, ma'am?
- How are you feeling about today, my darling?
I know you had your little wig slippage.
- [laughs] Did I?
Today the first queen gets eliminated,
which just gives me goose bumps because it can't be me.
I think, for sure, it's gonna be taken into consideration.
- Yeah.
- I do think it's a bottom two lip sync situation.
- OK. - I know more or less where I'll stand.
I just really want the safety of knowing
who I'm up against so I can be prepared for what's to come.
I'm literally born to be a performer.
- I pity the drag queen that got to go up against you, baby.
- Absolutely.
- Who do you think's gonna be your other?
- I think Alexis.
[dramatic music]
- [sighs]
I'm that close to crying.
- But just because based on presentation and performance,
we slipped the most.
But I think I slipped more than you.
- DeDe knows what she's doing.
It's a game, right? You have to say these things
to make other people a little bit weaker.
- I am a very fierce lip-syncher.
So I'm, like, half excited.
- I'm trying not to let it get to my head.
- Obviously, I don't want to lip-synch.
I don't want to do that. And I'm gonna do my best to...
- Oh, no, you don't want to lip-synch against me, baby.
- Not be that. - Not against me, mama.
He shouldn't get it to me, but he does.
If you go against me,
we'll see how it goes.
Listen, I used to be a boxer. I used to box.
- Bitch, I've got one heavy wig on my head
that I can take off and thwack around.
- We've seen it.
- I'll use it as a weapon this time.
- Oh, shit.
Fight, bitches, fight.
- It's going down today.
[tense music]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
- [laughs]
[singing] Cover girl, put the bass in your walk
Head to toe, let your whole body talk
- Whoo! - Yes, baby.
- And what?
Welcome to the main stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK."
Michelle Visage.
Now, do you remember your first ball?
- You know what, Ru?
I just remember it was hot and sweaty
and tasted like malted milk.
- [laughs]
- That's it.
- The super specs-y Alan Carr.
Now, Alan, what's your experience with balls?
- With these teeth, I tend to avoid balls.
- Oh. - [laughs]
- Or is it the other way around?
- [laughs]
- And my good buddy supermodel Kristen McMenamy.
- Longtime buddy, by the way.
From the '80s, honey.
I remember you when you were nothing.
[laughter]
- Gorgeous.
This week, we challenged our queens
to serve three different looks in a Fierce Impressions Ball.
And tonight on the runway, they are ready to reveal
their final look.
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
[RuPaul's "Free 2 Be"]
[singing] You got the right to be free
Category is Fierce Impressions Eleganza Extravaganza.
Up first, Michael Marouli.
I love the fact that hippies are coming back.
- Me too. - Oh, yeah.
- As a First Impressions Eleganza look,
this is the shit--
light-up spikes, tiny little waist, massive hips.
I mean, you what?
- She likes to get nailed.
- Yeah.
- Ru is immaculate.
I am so starstruck.
I'm dying to just run over and be like, hiya, pets.
Hiya, girls. Let's have a little chat.
- I bet she feels a right prick.
[laughter]
- You guys.
- Up next, Alexis Saint-Pete.
- Alexis Saint-Pete Burns.
[laughter]
- I am serving a Polish queen realness.
- I think she's serving Krakow.
- I am representing the Slavic colors.
The corset, it's really painful.
But it's worth it.
- Get a load of those pierogies.
- I'm representing Poland.
And I really hope that the Brits will love it as much as I do.
- I bet her pussy is War-sore.
[laughter]
Up next, Ginger Johnson.
- She's giving me Wood...stock.
- This is all about fierce impressions.
And the impression I want to give the judges
is that I'm here to have fun.
- The last Stepford Wife.
- [laughs]
- I'm smelling that plastic flower
and imagining that I'm Barbra Streisand
on my way to the gay barbecue.
I love Barbra Streisand, and I love barbecues.
- Simple and sweet.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ru is learning I've got levels.
I've got somewhere else to go.
It's a barbecue. [laughs]
- Peace and love, baby.
Flower power.
- Up next, DeDeLicious.
- We see her two little girls from Little Rock, don't we?
- Mm-hmm.
- This is so signature for me.
It's big and structured.
I've got these lovely, gorgeous red feathers behind me.
I feel like a big sexy bird.
Caw-caw, bitch.
- Does this collar make my butt look big?
- The collar is a little precarious.
The last thing I need is a collar going, yeow-pbbt.
- Robin Redbreast. - Mm.
[laughter]
- It's giving me high-level drag.
And that's what I strive for.
- Up next, Cara Melle.
- Otherwise known as Cara-flage.
- I am a golden goddess, serving the most powerful energy.
I love gold.
- All that glitters is gold, baby.
- And yes, an orgy is happening on my dress.
Get into it, baby.
[laughs]
- Cara, Cara, Cara, Cara, Cara Chameleon.
- Oh. You reached deep for that one, didn't you?
- Thank you. Thank you.
- I am the grace.
I am the elegance.
I am the extravagance.
You cannot compare.
- Up next, Banksie.
- I'm floating down the runway because, if I'm being honest,
I can't walk in this.
And we're gonna take our time.
Supermodels don't rush.
- Ru, is the train still running?
- [laughs]
- I hope she's not late.
- I painted that dress all by myself.
Everything in this dress was built by Manchester.
- She's got graffi-titis.
- I know for a fact that Michelle is smiling,
that Alan is laughing.
- Guys, we're gonna be here for a while.
- And Ru just wants me to hurry up.
- She's got blood on her fingers.
Do you think she killed another contestant?
- I think she did.
[laughs]
Vicki Vivacious.
- Everybody's going to the Kardashian doctors now.
- I am serving Trooping the Colour, house down boots.
- We salute you.
- This look is inspired by military British guard realness.
But a little bit of Victoria's Secret's thrown in for good measure.
- I hear she's a nutcracker.
[laughter]
- I want to show my love for this country,
my love for the armed forces.
But I also want to show that I've got a little bit of camp.
And that's what Vicki's about, baby.
- Look at that Buckingham Pal-ass.
- [laughs]
Up next, Kate Butch.
- The judges are getting a look that is quintessentially Kate Butch.
It is camp, theatrical.
I've got wheels.
I've got fabric.
And as a famous poet once said, it's a little bit goofy.
- She's rolling up that hill.
- [laughs]
- Alan Carr is obsessed with me.
Comedy recognizes comedy, babe.
- Michelle hates it. [laughs]
- Up next, Miss Naomi Carter.
- I wanted to pick this look 'cause, if I'm being honest with you,
I'm a little chap from Doncaster.
I just really wanted to live my, like, most opulent fantasy.
- Oh, the hair is genius.
- I thought as well that I'd lean into one
of Ru's favorite icons because, you know,
got to be the teacher's pet.
- I'm getting Diana Bob Ross.
- [laughs]
- I normally have my full-on boobs out,
if I'm being honest with you, when I'm in drag.
But I feel like, for the BBC, it's not too appropriate.
- Yeah.
- Up next, Tomara Thomas.
- I am the angel of the north.
Think white. Think gold.
Think mechanics.
Then boom. The wings start opening.
Ugh.
- They're a little crooked, no? - Uh-huh.
- Little Mix lied, the bitches.
These wings aren't made for flying.
- Hey, the chick is still running.
- [laughs] - Style it out. Be professional.
Pull your shit together.
And she's back in the room with a broken wing.
[laughs]
- She can nibble on my fat balls any day.
- [laughs]
Welcome, queens.
Now, when I call your name, please step forward.
[tense music]
DeDeLicious.
Banksie.
Kate Butch.
Miss Naomi Carter.
Tomara Thomas.
You are all safe.
You may leave the stage.
[dramatic music]
Ladies, I have a little surprise.
You are...
The top queens of the week.
[triumphant music]
- [sighs]
[laughs]
Thank you. Thank you, whoever's up there.
- So to get to know you better, I've decided
that no one is going home this episode.
- Ah!
- Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
First up, Michael Marouli.
- [with New York accent] Yo, Michael Marouli.
- [laughs]
How you doing? - All right, Michelle.
- When you first walked into the Werk Room,
we kind of understood who you were.
You got a little touch of a Lady Gaga tribute act.
But your performance was full of energy.
Performance really is key.
And we know that especially here in the United Kingdom.
I thought that you performed wonderfully.
- This look, I love the mixture of textures.
You got the leather there. You got the spikes.
And you got the sequins. I love the way it just shimmers there.
- I couldn't even take any notes because I was like, uh.
- [laughs] - Especially the butt.
For some reason, that butt makes me crazy.
- Love, love, love this outfit.
It's so much fun.
Where did you get your sense of style?
- Basically, just television and magazines.
I was the young gay kid.
So I just lost myself in pop culture and feminine energy.
- What town did you grow up in? - Newcastle.
- And there were other kids that were looking
at magazines and television, right?
- Yeah, but we weren't allowed to find each other
to tell each other 'cause it was just not spoken about back then.
- Yeah.
- I wouldn't change it, though, because if I didn't see it
from the other side, I wouldn't have fought so hard
to get where I am today. - Sure, yeah.
Well, thank you, Michael.
- Thank you.
- Up next, Alexis Saint-Pete.
- Oh, I love this look.
I know it's not just cows that you're milking in those heels.
[laughter]
I love also how your plait mirrors the whip
that we saw in Club Tickety-Boo.
You really worked it. You were on all fours.
- Alan. - She was.
Club Tickety-Boo just makes me horny.
[laughter] - Same.
- Well, I'm glad you're from Poland because it might be inappropriate.
What is it called? - Cultural appropriation.
- Yeah, cultural appropriation.
All right, you better be English.
[laughter]
- Your entrance into the Werk Room was very similar to what you wore
to Club Tickety-Boo, which is very similar
to what you're wearing tonight.
But I enjoyed watching you perform.
- All right, Alexis, yesterday your boobs kept falling out.
Was that by design?
- I just never really danced with them with this corset before.
So I didn't realize they were gonna to be on my face.
- Yeah, all right.
What's with the dominatrix stuff?
- It's a character, my imaginary friend I created as a child.
- A dominatrix from Poland?
[laughter]
- Whipping them. - All right, well, thank you, Alexis.
- Thank you.
- All right, up next, Ginger Johnson.
- Hi.
- In Club Tickety-Boo, I was a little bit disappointed
that you didn't put more into it.
Do you find it hard to do the dancing?
- Sober at 4:00 in the afternoon?
Yes, a little bit--a little bit tricky.
- But this is just stunning.
It's so beautiful in its softness,
that chewed flower that you--
[laughter]
It works. It worked.
- Tonight, for me, like, I don't want to say
saved you 'cause you weren't terrible.
But your look entering the Werk Room, I've seen it before.
But this tonight is done so beautifully.
The hair is touchable.
The paint is good.
It's simple enough, yet it's drag enough.
- I'd wear that dress.
I would have to get the boobs taken in a little bit.
But bravo.
- I love this dress. It is so beautiful.
And you lucked out because no one else had anything like this tonight.
Who made this dress? - I made this.
- You made this dress? - Oh, my golly.
- Well done, you.
- I've made everything that I've brought to "Drag Race"
apart from one outfit.
- Wow. - Wow.
- Oh, my God. Will you make me stuff?
- Yeah. - OK. [gasps]
- All right, well, thank you, Ginger Johnson.
- Thank you.
- All right, up next, Cara Melle.
- Cara, your look entering the Werk Room was very strong.
It was very Ciara is in Wakanda forever
and she's not leaving.
This is flawless.
You look beautiful.
- I'm intrigued.
- Are you, now? - Yes.
There's two Cara Melles.
On the runway, Crème Cara Melle.
And in Club Tickety-Boo, Salted Cara Melle.
[laughter]
Oh, yeah.
You were writhing around. It was so much fun.
You were actually making my heart pump and race.
I loved it.
- Cara Melle, I want to eat you.
[laughter]
The headpiece is phenomenal.
I mean, and-- - And it's heavy as hell.
- It hurts. If mine hurts, yours must really hurt.
- When you was up in the club...
- Mm, right.
- You were hot.
That was Hot Cara Melle.
That really let us know who you are.
- Even, like, out of drag, I try and exude
and make myself believe the power I have inside of me.
- Thank you, Cara Melle.
- Thank you.
- All right, up next, we've got Vicki Vivacious.
- So, Vicki, I don't know if people know,
but you've been around for a minute.
It's not easy being in the drag scene and powering through it
when you thought maybe this wasn't my lot in life.
But you've stuck with it.
And it looks good on you, kiddo.
Your entrance into the Werk Room, I thought it was really fun.
It kind of told us who you were.
She loves glamour. And I love that about you.
- I love this look.
It's ironic.
It's fun.
And it's a beautiful homage to our late queen.
I know she's looking down, going, slay.
[laughter]
And also, in Club Tickety-Boo, I loved your humor.
And you've got that manic grin on your face, which I love.
- I think I've got a really wide mouth.
But, you know, it--a big mouth serves you well in certain situations, so...
- Right, yes. - You're like a little doll.
You're like a little English soldier doll.
Bravo. But all of you guys, wow.
I'm having so much fun.
[laughter]
- I love this outfit.
It has so much respect.
But also, it's a wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
And that's what drag is all about.
- This outfit and this presentation was a love letter
to all the performing I do for the armed forces in the UK.
- Is that where the big mouth comes in handy?
- Yeah. Yes.
[laughter] Shh.
They serve us, so I serve them.
You know, it's--
[laughter]
- I'd like to sign up.
- Come with me.
- Well, thank you, Vicki. - Thank you so much.
- Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck in the Werk Room,
the judges and I will deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
- Cheers. Cheers to being safe.
- We are back and untucked.
It took us about six hours because of Banksie's little shuffle.
But we're here, finally.
Hey.
[queens cheering]
And I am safe. Thank God for that.
[queens cheering]
And straight on till Christmas.
Safe, to me, is a win.
Not in anyone else's eyes.
Not on Wikipedia.
- I just need to say how grateful I am to be saved.
Words cannot explain how relieved I am right now.
I thought I was for sure lip-synching.
After yesterday's performance, I think the look, despite my floppy collar--
[laughter]
I think it saved me by the skin of my teeth.
I'm not quite sure why I'm safe.
But I'm not gonna ask questions.
- We're agreed that Cara's in the top...
- Oh, she's winning. - If not the winner.
- We can talk about the top all we want,
but what about the bottoms?
- I think Alexis is in the bottom.
- Well, I reckon it could potentially be Vicki.
- I think it might be Ginger. - I'm sorry.
Like, I don't remember exactly what she did in the club.
- No, neither. - Right, everyone.
Let's stop talking about them buggers onstage.
We've all made it.
Fuck them. Let's have a cheers.
- Yes. - Cheers, baby!
- Eyes, eyes. I don't want bad sex 'cause of you lot.
[dramatic music]
[queens cheering]
- Come on, girls.
- Well, the "safe queens" have absolutely no idea
that they were all tops.
- Oh, there's some sad faces.
Come on in. - Well done.
- You all right, my loves? - Hey, girl.
- Let's play with them a little bit.
- Who do you think is the bottom two?
- We were between Alexis, you, and Ginger,
'cause we definitely thought Cara was top.
- Yeah.
- Well, we're actually the top five queens of the week.
[queens exclaiming]
- What is going on?
- Season five, bitches.
- Horrible. - What?
- Horrible.
- So if they were all tops, that makes us the worst of the group.
I'm floored.
Question, though, then, is, if you were the five tops,
who did you think, out of us five, would have been in the bottom two?
- DeDe. - Yeah, fair.
- 100%, I thought that.
And then only because of Tomara's wings had the malfunction,
I thought maybe, like, a possibility.
- Let me ban these wings.
Someone clipped my wings. It's sabotage.
The wings fucked me up. But we'll take that.
We'll take that. The things were popping.
No, no, no. Cara.
Cara clipped me wings. I know it.
She's clipped me wings.
- Why did you think we were the bottom three?
- Personally, I thought because you set yourself up at the mirror.
- Well, I didn't start a conversation.
- Well, that conversation was had.
- I assumed that you would be in the bottom.
- Knowing that I was so upset in the Werk Room
and that I came back on top, I should have
never, ever questioned myself.
In my head, I was so upset... - Right.
- How easily I got influenced by people saying something about me, you know?
- DeDe somehow managed to drag Alexis down
into this really nervous state.
- I think I get easily trapped in my head. - Yeah.
- As soon as I hear something, it just gets all over me.
- Also, DeDe would not shut up about it.
I'm here to have a nice time, not listen to somebody
drowning, pulling other people down into the well.
We don't need that.
They said some amazing things about Alexis.
- They loved you.
- Her wild energy and everything she brought
to the dance floor yesterday.
- You proved me wrong. You proved me wrong.
- It won't be the first time.
- And you're in the top.
- Yeah.
- That's first because usually, I bottom.
- [screams] [laughter]
- The most important question is,
who do we think will be the two lip-synching for the win?
- I'm just gonna say, if I don't have to do it,
that is fine with me.
- I just love the confidence.
You were like, I thought I was gonna win,
and I didn't have to learn the words to this,
so now I am fucked.
- Damn it. Let me learn that song.
- All right, now, just between us squirrel friends, what do you think?
We're looking for the best of the best.
Let's start with Michael Marouli.
- Every look was different.
When she got to the club and that outfit with all the stones on it,
I loved the energy, and I loved her.
- Being very inexperienced with being a judge--
- Oh, I doubt that very seriously.
- Girl.
- Hey, I judge people, but I don't do it for TV.
But I definitely love the outfits.
- Fierce, futuristic, and fun.
- I love that silhouette, how extreme it is.
I thought Michael made a great fierce impression.
All right, so let's move on down to Alexis Saint-Pete.
- She came out into the Werk Room
holding a basket of pierogies.
I have to love that. - You got to love that.
- It's great that she loves her country.
If I reference America, what would I be wearing?
Sweats, turkey pants, and pushing a shopping cart.
- She reminds me of a younger me.
I often get told, can you stop being sexy?
And I-- [laughter]
Look, sexy's good. But I want to see something else.
- We're looking for diversity.
We're looking for many different shades
of Miss Alexis Saint-Pete.
Let's move on down to Ginger Johnson.
- I mean, Club Tickety-Boo, when I saw her with that flame-red hair,
she reminded me a little bit of Bette Midler.
So I was, like, disappointed when the dance came.
And she was trying her best.
- But then my favorite moment of the night
was when she came out here and surprised us all.
- It was just so pretty and so simple.
- Sort of a 1971 Mother Nature dress that was just beautifully done.
And she did it herself.
All right, let's move on down to Cara Melle.
- So she entered the Werk Room strong.
She was there to make a statement.
And I was here for it. So then she goes to Club Tickety-Boo.
And honey, we all were eating out of her hands.
- She tore that club up.
- OK?
- And then on the runway, we have this graceful,
almost regal performance.
- She walked out, and you felt her power.
- The coloring was great. - Yes.
- The gold, the brown, all of that was fantastic.
All right, up next, Vicki Vivacious.
- To give us the look she walked into the Werk Room with, I liked it.
It was very Italian housewife.
And then she switched into that little feather number.
- She had that sinister smile on her face
while she flossed her between-me-down-there
with her sarong.
It's so wrong but, oh, so right.
- But then tonight she was one of my favorite looks.
- But what really stuck with me is how much
she wanted it to be patriotic.
So I thought, oh.
This is someone who's really thought about it.
- Oh, I want to see her next.
I want to see the transformation of all these girls, you know?
- Watch the show.
- [laughs]
We're on next week, same time.
- I'm too busy reading the classics, OK?
[laughter]
- Silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
Welcome back, ladies.
Based on your fierce impressions,
I've made some decisions.
Ginger Johnson...
you're safe.
You may step to the back of the stage.
Alexis Saint-Pete...
you are safe.
You may step to the back of the stage.
- Thank you.
- Vicki Vivacious.
This week, you had us all standing to attention.
Condragulations.
You are one of the top two queens of the week.
- Thank you so much.
I've got nothing to lose.
This is an incredible feeling, lip-synching and still staying
and potentially winning.
- Michael Marouli, this week,
the judges went gaga for your looks and presentations.
Cara Melle, this week,
you were salty, sticky, and sweet.
Cara Melle...
condragulations.
You are the other top queen of the week.
[applause]
Michael Marouli, you're safe.
You may join the other girls.
Two queens stand before me.
I've consulted with the judges, but the final decision
is mine to make.
Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance
of "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit"
by Gina G.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me
and win season five's first RuPeter badge.
The time has come... [thunder booming]
For you to lip-synch
for the win.
- What the hell is this?
Gina G and a lip sync for the win?
And you want me to do that
in this?
But I'm not gonna let this bitch just have the goddamn badge.
That's my badge, girl.
It's mine.
- Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
[Gina G's "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit"]
[cheers and applause]
- [singing] You're my love, you're my sweetest thing
Don't shy away, don't shy away
Every night makes me hate the days
Can't get enough of your love
- Yes!
- [singing] Am I wrong, am I so unkind?
Show me the way, don't turn away
[laughter]
I can't hide all these thoughts in my mind
Every moment, I'm just thinking of you
Ooh, aah, just a little bit
Ooh, aah, a little bit more
Ooh, aah, just a little bit
You know what I'm looking for
Ooh, aah, just a little bit
Ooh, aah, a little bit more
Ooh, aah, just a little bit
I'll give you love you can't ignore
Feeling good, let's go all the way
It's got to be, set me free
- [laughs]
- [singing] Like a child, but it's more than a phase
Could act the angel, but it wouldn't be true
Ooh, aah, just a little bit
Ooh, aah, a little bit more
Ooh, aah, just a little bit
You know what I'm looking for
Ooh, aah, just a little bit
Ooh, aah, a little bit more
Ooh, aah, just a little bit
I'll give you love you can't ignore
What can you do for me
Oh, what can you do
'Cause I feel so alive
I feel your love inside
Ooh, ooh
Just a little bit, a little bit more
Just a little bit, just a little
Just a little bit, a little bit more
Just a little bit, whoa, whoa, whoa
[cheers and applause]
- [exhales heavily]
- Ladies...
I've made my decision.
[tense music]
Vicki Vivacious...
condragulations.
You're a winner, baby.
[cheers and applause]
You've earned a coveted RuPeter badge.
- [singing] Rule Brittania
- Wear it with pride.
- It feels fantastic to win the first RuPeter badge of season five.
It's real validation.
I've worked so hard to get here.
- Cara Melle, you are free to slay another day.
Condragulations, ladies.
But beware.
Next week, the eliminations begin.
And remember, if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?
Can I get an amen up in here?
all: Amen.
- All right.
Let the music play.
[singing] To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon
To the moon, come on and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon
Next time on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
For this week's Maxi Challenge, you need to rescue these pet supplies
and transform them into high fashion.
- What do I have to do?
Everything.
- You know how to sew?
- I try.
- Oh. - Meaning no.
- [gasps]
- You are fierce.
- Finally, the answer to the question,
what to wear to your fish's funeral?
- [laughs]
- Name a dress that I've seen you sew, though,
literally, 'cause I haven't, so I'm not gonna--
- Oh, my God. I don't owe you anything.
I don't owe you an example.
I don't owe you this.
- [singing] To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon, blast off
To the moon, come on and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon.
To the moon
To the moon, come on and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon, blast off
To the moon, come on and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon, to the moon, to the moon
