- Hello, hello, hello.
Previously on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
For this week's Maxi Challenge,
I want you to transform volunteers at UK's oldest
LGBT hotline into fine drag queens.
- One in front of the other.
Transfer the weight.
Peter's walk couldn't catch a pig in a passage.
[laughs]
- DeDeLicious and BeBeLicious.
- It's more like friendly resemblance.
- Kate Butch and Femily Bronte.
- I don't see the family resemblance.
- Michael Marouli, it is so gorgeous what you've done.
Condragulations.
You are the winner of this week's challenge.
DeDeLicious, shantay, you stay.
Kate Butch, sashay away.
- You can't fire me. I quit!
[laughter]
Ciao!
[upbeat music]
- Oh, I can't grasp it.
- Not another one.
- Very DeDe.
- Not another one.
- I've just sent my sister Kate home.
Oh, this one's a bit more of a sour one.
- Aw, man. [indistinct chatter]
- But I think I've proven I'm going to fight my way
through this competition.
- What's she said? - It's me.
I'm Kathy.
I've gone home.
Hope you all lose.
Kate Butch.
[laughter]
- Balegdeh.
- And hey, she left with a badge.
She did brilliant.
- The journey the girl's been on.
- Yeah, I'm really going to miss Kate.
We were really good pals.
- Bye, honey.
See you soon, bitch!
[laughter]
- She's had some amazing moments
across this competition.
I'm really proud of her.
- What a roller coaster.
all: Roller coaster.
- I feel like by now I'm the only non-Geordie here.
- Oh, yes. Yes.
Three Geordies and a Kent.
- And one Kent.
[laughter]
- There's literally only four of us left.
It's feeling quiet, even with me in the room.
What the hell?
[all groaning]
- Let's hear it for Mystic Marouli over here,
winner of the Challenger Series.
- Oh, my God. Thank you so much.
- Well done. - I needed that win.
- That was big for you this week, wasn't it--the whole thing,
the whole experience? - It was.
- So emotional.
- It was dead emotional.
- Do you think Peter's going to keep the boots?
- And we'll have to prise them off her.
She was feeling those boots.
Ah!
- You were in the bottom two last week.
And boom, she's here with another badge.
Now she's two. - Boom!
She's back with her second badge.
- Oh, congrats, baby. - Exactly.
- I feel on top of the world.
I've got two badges.
I'm hot on Ginger's heels.
She'd better not get too comfortable,
because I'm coming up after her.
- You've got two badges.
[both gasping]
You've got three. You've got two.
I've got one.
And you've got--
- None.
[laughter]
- I wanted to win the last challenge, and I didn't.
And I'm starting to feel like my chance
to get that badge for me is kind of slipping away.
- To be fair, you are the official
lip-sync assassin now.
- Ah!
- Anyone scared to go up against her?
- Absolutely.
No, thank you.
- I mean, we could do a ballad, we can do a high energy.
But, I mean--
- You could wash the floor with your fanny, apparently.
[laughter] - Do a little.
- Ooh!
- Just let me wipe it off.
- DeDe, not again.
She's like a cat with worms.
[cat meowing]
[laughs]
- Well, girls, as the semifinalists we are,
shall we get this drag off? - Yes, ma'am!
- Yeah!
- There's four of us left.
The crown is near.
Are they thinking I'm a threat?
Yes.
- Let's get it off, honey.
- And ka-bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
- Ah!
Ah!
- Jesus Christ, DeDe!
- Ah!
[laughter]
- You're just like a little giggle.
[laughter]
- Aw.
- I will fight tooth and nail to get to where I need to be.
- Girl. [laughs]
- I'm from the Garden of England,
so I have plenty of space to bury these bitches.
DeDeLicious means business.
- [singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"
The winner, crowned the UK's next Drag Race Superstar,
will create their own digital series with the producers
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Tonight, with Michelle Visage, Alan Carr,
and extra special guest judge Aisling Bea.
[singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"
May the best drag queen win, best drag queen win
[upbeat music]
- Wow!
[cheering]
- Ahh!
- It's a new day in the Werk Room.
We are this close to being in the final.
What the hell?
Whoo!
- It's the semifinals. - Ooh!
- Rest in peace, Kate Butch.
- [laughs]
- She's lying facedown somewhere.
- With a knife in her back. - With a knife--
- Knife in her back and eyebrows on her forehead.
[laughter]
- Ginger Johnson?
- Yes?
- Is this the top four you thought?
- I don't know.
[laughter] - That means no.
- No.
[laughter]
- She's a shady little lady.
The nerve.
- I'm not mad about it.
I'm having a lovely time.
- Fact, we're sat here and it's almost the final.
I just, honest to God, I can't believe it.
- I just can't believe how much fun we've had.
Do you know what I mean? - I know.
Yeah.
- Like, I'm like, this is just went too good.
- Yeah.
- So I'm like, ooh, I don't want to--
I don't want to jinx it, because it
is just going so amazing.
Yeah.
- So--
- Looking around the table this morning, one of us
is not going to make it to the final.
And I just have to dig real deep all the way
into the bottom of my stilettos to make sure
that that person is not me.
- One more batch till we get in the finals!
Are we ready?
- Yeah!
- Whoo! [alarm blaring]
- Whoo!
- Girl, Her Majesty done already done had herses.
My queens. - Hey!
- Hi!
- Sticks and stones may break your bones,
but shade will never hurt you.
- [laughs]
- You're welcome.
- Short and sweet today.
- Shady, shady, shady, girl.
- Hello, hello, hello.
all: Hi!
- Hello.
- Racers, condragulations for making it to the semifinals.
- Yeah! - Yee-haw!
- Now, with the grand finale just a week away,
it's time to ask yourself-- do you have the speed,
the strength, and the heart to be a winner?
For this week's Maxi Challenge, in a gladiator's "Drag Race"
mash up, you need to go head-to-head and toe-to-toe in
the Dragiator's Comedy Roast.
[rock music]
#DragRaceUK.
- Oh, my God!
Yes!
[laughter]
- Shit.
I'm in a roast line up with Ginger Johnson
and Michael Marouli,
and I also did awful at Snatch Game.
So--
- While tucked tightly in tights,
you need to roast each other, the judges,
and the eliminated queens from season five.
- Oh, my God.
- Amazing.
- This is the challenge I've been waiting for.
Oh, everyone's getting it both barrels.
No one is safe.
Run for cover now.
- Now, to make sure you're ready to rumble,
you are invited to a comedy masterclass hosted by
the seriously silly Alan Carr.
- Yay!
- Tomorrow, on the main stage,
we'll be joined by our extra special guest judge,
the hilarious Aisling Bea.
[gasping] - Ooh.
- I love her. - I love Aisling.
- Whoo! Miss Aisling.
The luck of the Irish.
And it is a bit intimidating doing a comedy roast
in front of, not only one comedian, two comedians--
and RuPaul and Michelle.
Can't wait.
- Now, DeDeLicious, as the survivor of last week's lip sync,
you get to choose the order in which the queens
enter the Dragiator arena.
- Ooh.
- Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
- Yes! - Go!
Wow!
- We are doing a Dragiator's roast,
and I get to choose the order--
me!
- Roast?
- Yeah.
- I'm definitely going to think carefully
about where I'm going.
Whatever Ginger and Michael want, they aren't getting.
[laughs]
I didn't know I'd be the one to pick the order.
- How lovely.
What a gorgeous surprise.
- What a lovely little surprise.
- She's got the power.
- DeDe's loving having that little ounce of power.
God forbid if the bitch got her badge.
Imagine.
- What are you thinking, DeDe?
- Well, first of all, I want to hear
from everyone on their preferred spot in the line up.
- I would love to go first.
- OK.
- And I'm quite comfortable in that sense
to get everyone going.
- All right, Ginger? - I don't mind.
I'll go anywhere.
- Tomara?
- Maybe I'd love to go second, or first.
- OK.
Hm.
- Let's be realistic.
Ginger and Michael are some funny old, old, old ladies.
So I want to open the show.
I want to start with the energy here for these girlies
to match it.
- Where do you want to go?
- Yeah, where do you want to go?
- I think first and last are big pressure places to be.
Because first, you can think you did really well.
And then it moves along and it gets better and better
and you get overshadowed.
- Do you not think if you go out first
it means no one's already told the jokes
that you're about to do?
- That's--oh, there's pros and cons to it.
Ooh.
I don't know!
- She's trying to be strategic.
But honestly, she doesn't know what to do with herself.
- I think I'm going to go second.
That means I'm going to put you first.
- OK. Thank you.
- Michael, would you be comfortable going last?
- I'm happy to go last.
I did ask for first.
[laughter]
Just saying!
What the fuck?
What kind of game are you trying to play?
- First, second, third, and fourth.
And we're all happy? - Yeah!
- I am massively concerned.
Because I don't know whether these bitches are
going to say jokes I've got.
That's the risk you run going last.
You've got to be funny.
You've got to be the best.
And you've got to think on the spot.
Big mistake.
Huge!
[upbeat music]
Tomara, I can see your breakfast.
- You're welcome.
- She's getting limbered up for a fight over here.
- I'm just stretching my limbs out.
[laughs]
- Have you seen Gladiators before?
- No.
- What?
I was obsessed with Gladiators.
- You will go on my first whistle!
Brr!
- Gladiators is camp as tits.
Big sweaty blokes wrestling, rolling round?
My God, and people wonder why I turned out the way I did.
- What's everyone's biggest concern going
into this cheeky little role?
- How pissed off Vicky's going to get?
[laughter]
I've only ever done one roast before.
But I tend to do more, like, stories and funny songs
and prefer making it up as I go along.
I'm not very good at remembering things.
[laughs]
- I just hope it's not a case of they just come across mean
and unfunny, cause that--
- Why?
You've made a career of it so far.
[laughter]
- Ooh!
She's going in.
I'm not mean. No.
- You should just record the jokes and lip-synch to them,
and then you'll be fine.
[laughter]
- People are definitely expecting me
to completely flop at this.
I want to prove them wrong and I want to do
very well in this challenge.
- You just have stage presence.
That's all you need, I feel, stage presence.
- I think some jokes will help.
- I mean, yeah, one or two maybe might
help me in this challenge.
- A little chuckle here and there.
- Imagine I'm just walking around the stage.
- Come on, Tomara.
Put pen to paper, get your legs together,
get your head out of the clouds,
and give us some jokes.
[upbeat music]
- Dragiators ready?
[air horn blares]
[laughter]
Always wanted to say that!
Come on.
I'm going to teach you how to roast.
Come on, girls.
- I love Alan.
He's so funny, and I can't wait to get
some little gems from him.
- Ru's invited me here to give you tips on how to roast.
OK, rule number one,
don't take the piss out on my teeth, OK?
I mean, I know they look like toe separators, but please.
[laughter]
- I have about two jokes in my rut.
Alan said don't make fun of his teeth.
Great.
I have one joke.
- I've watched a lot of your stand ups and you're so good at it.
You are amazing.
- Aw, you're not asking for a refund, are you?
- No, no. [laughter]
- I think when you do it,
you've just got that conversational way about it.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, but it takes--it takes a lot
of time to be spontaneous.
Before you even see me at the theater,
I've done over a hundred warm-ups.
- You never, like, die in the moment?
- God, I've died so many fucking times.
I'd died. I've died.
And you know when you die on telly--
because I know when they're filming it,
they'll add a canned laughter--
I'm like this.
[laughter]
- I could so imagine me in dead space just
sitting there and going... [fake laughter]
And no one's laughing.
It's just me.
- Now, Ginger, you've got funny bones.
You always make people laugh.
Are you nervous about this roast?
Because the expectation is quite high, isn't it?
- Yeah, I'm a little bit nervous.
But I think I'll be OK.
I mean, I'm a nice girl.
So it doesn't come naturally to be mean to people.
Alan does lay the pressure on.
It brings home how important this roast is.
A lot of really great drag queens
have fallen out of the competition at this stage.
- Michael, what kind of angle are you going
to go into the roast for?
- I'll just rip everyone to shreds.
- Yeah?
- I feel like they deserve it.
[laughter]
- So are you going to pick on everyone?
Because you've got to spread the hate around, you know that.
- Yeah, I'm going to be generous with how much I hate everyone.
[laughter]
- There's like a thin line, isn't there,
when someone gets a bit too mean.
- Yeah.
- I think the audience will forgive you if it's funny.
It's like touching a bruise sometimes, roasting.
You're like, oh, oh--but I like it.
[laughter]
- I've never done a structured stand up routine.
But hosting on a microphone, telling jokes to an audience
is what I do for a living.
Never ever, ever underestimate me at a roast.
I'm going last in the roast, as well.
- Oh.
- I did ask for first, but I was shafted
by my lovely sister.
- Who's going on first?
- I'm going first.
[laughter]
- That tough, going on first.
You don't have any fear though, do you?
That's what I see--when I see--
- Well, yeah, I mean, I don't really, no.
There's pressure there of opening the show, you know?
What if I'd literally eat my words and collapse?
God forbid.
Well, I've got this.
Remember who you are, Tomara Thomas bitch.
- And are you picking on these three?
- Do you know what?
I'm actually not. - Well, you know, it's a roast.
A roast, you've got to--
- No, I am.
I am DeDe, but these two, I'm just going
to say one little comment. - OK.
- That's--that's the only air time
these bastards are getting.
[laughter]
- Tomorrow's roast is going to be avant-garde.
[laughs]
I'm sure it's going to be really funny.
Whether or not it's going to be a roast
is another question entirely.
- Is anyone struggling with how they get into the joke?
- Yeah, maybe a little bit. - Yeah.
- I think a good one is, you know,
picking on that worst quality and exaggerating it
to the nth degree.
Like, "I'm not saying she's thick, but--"
that's always a great one.
- My worry is just coming across mean.
I really, really don't want to do that.
- Go on.
Try it out on me.
- OK, so it was like Banksy,
I'll always remember your lyric,
"Face is full of filler and egos are enormous,"
which is funny, 'cause you are just a filler,
and your nose is ginormous.
- Well, there you go. That's funny.
[laughter]
That not too mean.
Oh, my God, that's quite positively tame.
- That's the joke you chose to try out on Alan?
I can't wait to hear the rest of your set.
- If a joke doesn't land, pick yourself up.
Just be confident.
They're funny.
You thought they were funny.
They're going to be funny.
- Yeah.
Kind of second guessing myself.
I'm just looking at my jokes and I'm just thinking,
are they funny enough, are they good enough?
It's a lot of pressure.
- Comedy's a bit like sex.
You shouldn't really talk about it, you should just do it.
- Yeah. [laughter]
- And say you get a miserable scowl off Michelle Visage.
Fuck her!
[laughter]
Listen, you're all really funny.
I can't wait to see you out there.
Good luck! - Aw.
- Thank you.
[upbeat music]
- Right, slap, slap, slap.
- Do you guys think Northerners are more funny
than us Southerners?
[laughter]
- Yes.
- I think because the struggle is real in the North, I
what I believe, for so many people.
They find comfort in humor.
- Yeah.
- Coming from the Northeast, I found humor as an escape
when I was younger.
Everything's gray, dreary.
You either get up and laugh,
or you get up and just sit there and stare at the walls,
praying for bedtime.
- From the day you're born, you're getting
the shit ripped out of you, so...
- Yeah. - I know.
- You've either got to keep up or get left behind,
really, I think.
- I feel like all Northerners are real thick-skinned, as well.
- Well, it's fucking cold, babes.
- Well, yeah.
I mean, yeah, it's freezing!
Northern humor, it's just dirty.
It's real.
It comes from, like, a heartfelt place.
We can take the piss out of each other,
but we'll be the first to stick up for someone.
- I'm most comfortable when I'm taking the piss out of myself.
- Yeah.
- All my, like, friends used to rip me
to shreds when I was younger.
I was overweight.
I had braces and glasses.
In school, I just really did not like myself.
You know, I won't lie.
Sometimes me being the butt of the joke
all the time really shook my confidence.
But then when I started to find my, like, tribe of queer people,
that's kind of where I kind of became a bit
of a class clown with people.
- Hm.
- I think I was a lot more serious when I was younger,
especially when I was at school.
Because I was trying to hide parts of myself,
you know, to not make myself a target.
I didn't have any queer influences growing up.
I didn't know any queer people.
I mean, I might have known queer people,
but I didn't know that they were queer.
I played a lot of rugby...
- Ooh, go on.
- From, like, quite young until I got an injury
when I was a bit older.
So I kind of stopped doing it then.
- Well, I could just imagine you,
little ginger legs running about.
- I was a tighthead prop.
I was, like, quite a lot bigger than everybody else
in my age group, which used to terrify
the parents in the car park.
Because they'd turn out for the games, and they were like,
are you sure he's 13? - Ha! I'm dead.
- Me dad was like, he eats a lot of mince.
It is a very masculine environment.
And I would, like, I'm not a very--
I'm not a very aggressive person, you know?
- Yeah.
- Like, I'm trying to avoid conflict at every opportunity.
It's really not my style.
- And them bastards-- you just got flung about on that pitch,
my God.
- No, I was doing the flinging, mate.
- Ooh, yes.
Ooh, Ginger, stop it.
I'm looking at you in a different light, babe.
- [laughs]
You know, it was drag, basically.
I know that sounds ridiculous.
But playing rugby was just putting on a character,
you know?
When I was playing rugby, it sort of
gave me an outlet to perform a masculinity
that I otherwise didn't really feel.
Once I kind of, like, self-actualized as a queer person,
got comfortable with myself,
I was able to be a lot more silly, you know?
- Yeah.
- And then that is the greatest gift,
you know, just being an idiot all the time.
- Could you imagine Ginger Johnson, full drag,
doing a rugby match?
- No, I would love to see that.
- How camp would that be?
- Imagine Ginger Johnson full drag doing a rugby match?
Have you not been watching that the last nine weeks?
[laughter]
[dramatic music]
- I'm going to bring in the Northeast energy
to this roast.
We're all nervous.
And we all want this so bad.
This is it.
Dragiators, are you ready?
Mwah, mwah.
[hisses]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
- [laughing]
[singing] Cover Girl, put the bass in your walk
Head to toe, let your whole body talk
- Oh, yes.
[cheers and applause]
- [singing] And what
Welcome to the main stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK."
Michelle Visage, now what would your Dragiator name be?
- Ooh, this is easy.
Vagina Dentata.
- Wow. - [laughs]
- It fits you to a T.
- I think you mean teeth.
- Several many.
- Yes.
- And the super "spec-sy" Alan Carr,
what would your Dragiator name be?
- Alfredo.
Fettuccino Alfredo, because I'm saucy.
[laughter]
- And funny lady Aisling Bea, welcome.
Are you ready for the main event?
- Do you know what, Ru?
The last person who asked me that also had no trousers on.
[laughter]
- And do you have a Dragiator name?
- I have chosen the meanest, scariest, most intimidating
name of all--
Michelle Visage.
[laughter]
- This week, we challenged our queens
to battle it out in a comedy roast, gladiator style.
And tonight on the runway, category is Poofs on Parade.
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
[upbeat music]
Now, live from the Tickety Boo Arena,
our Dragiators are ready to rumble.
[cheering]
[bell dings]
- Put your fisticuffs together for the Flaming Fanny Fighter.
- Do you want the smoke? 'Cause you're gonna get it!
[cheers and applause]
- Make some noise, you bastards!
I said let's make some noise.
I want to hear these cheers. [cheering louder]
- Ooh! Come on!
Ooh, that feels good enough.
- Ooh! - Are we ready?
all: Yes!
- Are we steady?
all: Yes!
- Let's go, bitches!
Now, look, I'm a wild woman.
You don't know what accent's coming out me mouth.
You don't know what's coming out me mouth.
And I'm from Hartlepool!
I would all be scared.
But first, I want to take the privilege, the honor,
to be standing on this stage in front
of a bunch of fucking losers.
- Oh!
- You know?
And I'm seeing a lot of confused faces.
Is it because I'm wearing clothes?
Or is it because Kate Butch beat all of you bitches?
[cackles] I find that hilarious!
You go, baby.
- Thanks, ma'am.
- Now, going back to losers.
Alexis Saint-Pete, you know, that poor Johnny the goldfish.
That poor little man, he was really
hanging on for dear life.
Just like miss Naomi Carter's toes in that lip sync.
Bitch, I've never looked at a set of toes in all my life
and instantly thought, monster munch!
[laughter]
You've got the feet like a monster,
and Banksy's got the face to match it.
- Oh!
- You know, it really is the family sisterhood.
Speaking of family and sisters,
Miss Mimi Licious, oh, my good God!
God forbid if you had something talking about
and it was not including her.
God forbid.
That bitch would wind it all the way back and boom,
she's in the conversation.
In fact, I'm surprised the bitch
hasn't stepped on the stage and interrupted this little spiel.
[laughter]
Alan Carr, you know, you are a sexy bitch.
I look at you, you smile, and I see a resemblance.
I have a thigh gap, and you have the same gap
in your teeth, baby.
You see that?
Michelle, you've really shown, not only me
and these bitches how you do drag,
you've looked stunning every single episode.
And last-- - Oh.
- Ooh. - Thank you.
- Yes, that was a compliment, bitch!
- Thank you.
I thought there was gonna be a follow.
- You deserve it! - Thank you.
- You look gorgeous.
- Thank you.
- And last, Mama Ru, I have a couple of things to say.
Now, if you don't put my ass in this finale,
I'm going to kill you!
Can I got an amen after this, bitch?
all: Amen!
- I said, can I get a amen after this, bitch?
all: Amen!
[laughter]
[cheers and applause]
- Tomara was the perfect person to go first.
She's like a Tasmanian devil on acid.
[laughter]
- Entering the Thunderdome...
[bell dings]
It's DeDe Decimator!
[rock music]
- I'm gonna DeDe smash these other queens out of the ring.
[growling]
- Let's go! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Who's ready to get DeDe destroyed?
[cheering]
Let's go.
Oh!
Are we ready for a roast?
all: Yes!
- Make some noise, daddy.
- Yeah.
- Let's get to it.
What a distinguished panel of judges.
The knockout with no knockers, it's Michelle Visage.
Now, Michelle, you always look so gorgeous and so glamorous.
And it takes a gay village--
no, a gay army.
No, a gay brigade.
No, a gay horde with a tank of Botox!
It's a shame Kate Butch doesn't have
the same resources you do.
- Aw.
- Oh.
- And the senior champ herself, RuPaul.
Give it up for RuPaul, everybody.
[cheers and applause]
- Guess who's back in the house, walking stick click clacking about.
[laughter]
Alan Carr!
Hello, my darling.
- Hello.
- Now, Alan, I feel like you don't know much about drag.
But I'm going to share a drag tip with you.
So tape can be used to enhance anything.
I use tape to snatch my face up and look gorgeous.
You should use tape over your mouth
'cause you won't stop talking!
And then we have guest judge.
No, I'm kidding--
Aisling Bea.
I loved you as a captain in 8 Out of 10 Cats.
- Thank you.
- And I give this look a 1 out of 10 cats.
- Oh!
- Let's go down to our queens.
Alexis Saint-Pete, my lovely.
Blonde with a whole lot of ambition.
- Green.
- Just not many results.
Vicky Vivacious, hello, gorgeous.
Now, Vicky is the horniest drag queen I have
ever met in my entire life.
Her name should be Vicky Viagra,
because her performance in the reading challenge
was an absolute dysfunction.
Kate Butch.
Now, describing your drag reminds me of an airport.
It's absolutely terminal, and your departure was delayed.
[laughter]
Bam!
All right.
Now, on to the rest of them.
Is this the best we could do?
Tomara Thomas, the body queen.
There's only two things that are fake about Tomara Thomas--
her face.
Ginger Johnson.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Badge hoarding bitch!
Did no one teach you sharing is caring?
- No.
- Unless you're sharing makeup tips,
then that is just sabotage!
[laughter]
Michael Marouli.
- Hello.
- Michael is so old, every time Michael
lets out a little fart, all you hear is "puh."
[laughter]
Oh, it looks like I've done all the girls.
And it wouldn't be a DeDeLicious roast
if I didn't roast myself.
I have the same number of IQ as I do badges--
zero!
[laughter]
[cheers and applause]
- Smashed it.
Some of the jokes--
but most of them, amazing.
- Watch out for the Geordie Walloper.
[rock music]
The Geordie Walloper is here, and she's here to slay.
[cheers and applause]
all: Ginger! Ginger! Ginger! Ginger!
Ginger! Ginger! Ginger! Ginger!
Ginger! Ginger! Ginger!
[cheers and applause]
[laughter]
- Hi, everybody. My name is Ginger Johnson.
Say hi, Ginger!
all: Hi, Ginger!
- Thank you, DeDeLicious, for whatever
that was supposed to be.
- Comedy, bitch.
- Bless DeDe.
She's never been to a panto.
She's never seen a musical.
She's never even heard of Gladiators.
I've eaten yogurts that are more
cultured than DeDeLicious.
Naomi is here.
Naomi, when you went up against Cara in that lip sync,
the only cliffhanger about that episode
was the toes poking out the front of your shoes.
- Were they that bad?
- Yeah, they were, sweetie.
Naomi's feet looked like ET flicking
through the phone book.
[laughter]
The only thing longer than Naomi's toes
is DeDe's losing streak.
- Oh! - Oh!
- I'll take that. I'll take that.
- Michael Marouli is here, everybody.
- Aw.
- Michael Marouli is a gorgeous, kind human
who really plays into the traditions of drag.
She paints for the back row--
in Australia, the Institute for the Blind.
[laughter]
Tomara Thomas is here.
How are you, love?
You all right?
What can I say about Tomara Thomas?
Tomara Thomas is so orange, she pisses pure vitamin C.
[laughter]
Tomara Thomas is so orange, she makes Michael Marouli
look like a human being.
[laughter]
My favorite thing about Tomara Thomas
is that she floats around in her own little world.
The only thing looser than Tomara's grip on reality
is Vicky's hole at the end of Pride weekend.
[laughter]
Kate Butch is here.
- Oh, my God.
[laughter]
- Kate Butch wouldn't know good makeup if it came up
and slapped her in the face--
which it never will.
[laughter]
Kate, Kate, Kate.
Kate's hairline is so hard, if this was the '90s,
RuPaul would try to snort it.
[laughter]
Which brings me to our panel.
Alan Carr, I love you, Alan Carr.
How are you doing, darling?
- Hi, love.
- Alan is so annoying, he makes Amanda Holden
look like a good time.
- Oh!
[laughter]
- But she beat us here for some reason.
[laughter]
And finally, Michelle Visage.
How are you, Michelle?
- Hi.
- You know, Michelle, your body is a temple--
ancient.
[laughter]
- It's true.
And like all stunning temples, if you put 50p in her box,
she'll let you have a look around.
- Yes!
[laughter]
- Pensioners go free on Sunday.
- Yes!
- That's all there is for me today.
- Yay!
- Ginger! Ginger! Ginger!
- Ginger has just killed her set.
Joke after joke, after read after roast.
I'm thinking fuck!
all: Ginger! Ginger! - See ya!
all: Ginger! Ginger!
- Yay!
- Be very afraid. [bell dings]
It's Marouli the Merciless!
[rock music]
- I'm Marouli the Merciless for the win.
Rawr!
[cheers and applause]
- Come on!
Who's ready for a SmackDown?
[cheers and applause]
Ooh, Ginger.
This microphone smells like cigarettes and regret.
[laughter]
Home.
- Oh!
[laughter]
- Michael just went back with them cards.
Greetings, girls, gays, glamazons, and gargoyles.
[laughter]
I'm here tonight on a humanitarian mission.
So fire up that barbecue, and let's torch these pigs!
- Ooh!
- Whoo!
- Oh, hey, Jay-Z. How's Beyoncé?
[laughter]
Kate loves nature, despite what it's done to her face.
[laughter]
- Oh, my God.
- Kate is so ugly, her vibrator went limp.
[laughter]
It's true.
The only big hard D she has in her life is depression.
[laughter]
Speaking of depression, DeDeplorable.
You know, people are going to say you're selfish,
you're rude, you're bad mannered, you're annoying,
you're a bitch.
And to these people I say, oh, uh-uh.
[laughter]
DeDe is a baby.
Everyone say, "Aw."
all: Aw.
- Whitney Houston once said, I believe
the children are our future.
And if that's the case, thank God for global warming.
[laughter]
Tomara Thomas.
- How you been?
- But Tomara is a dirty girl.
Everybody point to Tomara, and on the count of three
shout, "Filth."
One, two, three.
all: Filth!
- She is such a pervert,
her Instagram pages are stuck together.
[laughter]
Aisling Bea is here.
Look at this.
You're beautiful.
You're talented.
You're successful.
What the fuck are you doing here?
[laughter]
Ginger Johnson.
Triple badge winner, triple threat, triple heart bypass.
[laughter]
Now, Ginger, I'm going to tell you the truth.
And I'm not going to sugarcoat it,
because you'll probably eat that too.
[laughter]
Speaking of strokes, RuPaul.
[laughter]
Mother, I adore you with all of my heart.
And I feel comfortable enough with you
now to tell you the truth.
You have this angry, poisonous,
hideous looking growth on your right shoulder--
Michelle.
[laughter]
Michelle Visage is such an ugly whore,
the end.
[laughter]
Speaking of whores, hi, Alan.
- Hi, love.
- Alan is so gay, he could sit on a crayon
and tell you what color it is.
[laughter]
In conclusion, everyone is ugly, and I hate you all.
Good night!
[laughter, cheers]
[RuPaul's "Free to Be"]
- [singing] You got the right to be free
The category is Poofs on Parade.
First up, DeDeLicious.
- Oh, look, it's Poof the Magic Slag On.
- I feel so rottenly expensive.
I am just this massive gold ballsack.
[laughs]
- Take it or sleeve it.
[laughter]
- My lover has got no money.
He's got his strong, big sleeves.
[laughter]
- This look just took me from a double D
to a triple D.
It's shining on the runway.
I feel untouchable.
- Joan Collins would be so happy with this outfit.
- Her sleeves have prolapsed.
- [laughs]
- The price of gold just went up--
a lot.
It's perfection.
There, I said it.
And call me full of myself, but I love it.
- You can prevent fisting accidents.
[laughter]
Tomara Thomas.
I want the poof, the whole poof,
and nothing but the poof.
- [laughs]
- I am giving you award show realness.
Tomara in a lace gown.
Can you believe--a gown?
I am ready for my Oscar.
I am ready for my BAFTA.
I am ready for it all!
- Better call the chemist, because her poof is on fire.
- Ooh.
[laughs]
- I'm giving red, orange, gorgeous little updo
with a little kiss curl.
'Course if I'm going to wear a gown,
you're going to see the body.
But it's sexy.
It's hot.
It's everything you are not.
- In Tomara Thomas talk, that color is skin tone.
[laughter]
- The judges are absolutely loving it.
I could serve these bitches a bin bag and they'd love it.
It's how you present the bin bag, darling.
[laughs]
- And poof!
She's gone.
[laughter]
- Ginger Johnson.
- She's late, because she was out shooting hoops.
[laughter]
- Today on the runway, I am serving Scarlett O'Hara
who has fallen into a bath full of absinthe,
and in her hallucination has met Laura Ashley.
- Poof is in the pudding.
- I don't get what all the hoopla is about.
[laughter]
- For me, "poofy" means light and full of air.
So I decided to fill myself with as much air as possible.
- We know where to stand if it rains.
- Yes.
- This look is a dress the size of a circus tent.
I could have three rings in here and nobody would know.
[laughs]
- Dress for the blow job you want.
[laughter]
- Hey, Michael Marouli.
- Hey!
- She woke up in this.
Literally, she woke up in this.
[laughter]
- I'm serving puffer jacket realness.
All those chubby girls you'd see
hanging around the supermarket, let's turn chav into couture.
Now give me your lunch money.
- Does this jacket make my leg look fat?
[laughter]
- This is 27 meters of puffer jacket fabric.
I look huge.
I look voluminous.
I look amazing.
- I bet she's a fiddler on the poof.
[laughter]
Head, shoulders, knees, and hos.
- Uh-huh.
- Here I am in all my puffy glory.
I've been training all my life for this.
- I didn't know jackets came with testicles.
[laughter]
- Welcome, Queens.
With just one week until the grand finale,
it's time for the judges' critiques.
Let's start with Tomara Thomas.
- Flaming Fanny fighter.
Tomara, I'm not sure what I watched with you,
but I am so buying a ticket.
- When we go to a comedy club, they always
put someone like you on first.
You get the party started.
- Let's go, bitches!
- You were like, right, tonight is going to be a good night.
It was really, really wonderful and confident.
- Tomara, to come out, you set a tone of an energy
that everyone else had to match, and you just sold it.
As I said to a waiter in a pub, thank you so much
for delivering me that roast.
[laughter]
- Tonight on the runway--
it's shocking to see you in clothes, first of all.
I love this shape on you, the silhouette.
But the corset should be nude.
What happens is our eyes just go to this black corset,
but the rest of it is stunning.
- Thank you.
- I wonder whether I would have liked to have a mink stole
with that, or maybe a muff.
Can you say "muff" on the telly?
- Yeah.
- That's disgusting.
I find that offensive.
- Sorry.
- Love the silhouette.
We all know you're very funny.
Was there a point in your roast that
you felt, oh, I've lost it.
I don't feel confident.
- No, not at all.
I was a little bit nervous.
But as soon as I just strutted up
and down with that gorgeous hunk of a man,
I was just, right, right.
I feel in charge.
Let's go and have a laugh.
- You were very confident, and you're very funny.
All right, thank you.
Up next, DeDeLicious.
- It's inspirational to see you out there
and doing your thing with kids who've been doing drag
a lot longer than you have.
I was very proud.
- Well, you had so many gorgeous jokes.
And you also did rolling gags on top of people,
as well, which is just gorgeous.
- I mean, some of the jokes didn't work.
But I could see what you were doing with them.
When you do jokes about wordplay,
they sometimes lack a bite.
Because you go, oh, that's clever.
But no one goes, "Ha, ha, ha! Wordplay!"
People would just go, "Mm."
But oh, my God, this look now.
It's '80s, it's excess, it's more, more, more.
It's a tsunami of gold.
Stunning, beautiful look.
Love it.
- This is my favorite look tonight.
I've had moments with your looks
on and off in this competition.
This one is a beautiful, beautiful drag Ferrero Rocher.
You look delicious.
You look rich.
- And now that Michelle has mentioned a Ferrero Rocher,
I sort of want to eat you.
- Yeah! [laughs]
- And you can take that as you want.
But you're stunning. Sky's the limit.
- Thank you.
- You know, this outfit is like an editorialized
version of the '80s, and it is perfection.
There's another one that will go down in "Drag Race" herstory.
Joan Collins could never, full stop.
- She'd like to try. - She'd like to try.
Your comedy roast--the odds were stacked against you,
but it did not deter you.
Where do you think that confidence comes from?
- I'll be honest.
I was super in my head, as always, before this challenge
and what we talked about, Alan.
And I knew I had to exert confidence no matter what.
So whenever I said a joke that maybe didn't land,
it didn't really faze me.
I do feel super proud of how I did tonight, because I didn't
expect myself to do that well.
- Thank you.
All right, up next, Ginger Johnson.
- Hi.
- The Geordie walloper.
- [laughs]
- Literally, the only word I wrote down
was "amazing," because I was so captivated.
It felt hysterical, fun, inclusive, like everybody was in it.
The only thing that was a thorn in your side were the cards.
Don't let it upset you.
It didn't take anything away from the fact
that you fucking killed it tonight.
- Absolutely loved that performance.
It was so funny.
- Tomara Thomas is so orange, she makes Michael Marouli
look like a human being.
[laughter]
- Every one was a zinger.
There was not a single one that didn't land.
- I wrote down in my notes "tennis ball machine,"
because that's what I felt like we were getting.
Like du, du, du, du, du, du.
You're like, ah, ah, ah!
So many jokes coming out of you.
I learned watching you, so thank you
for the entertainment, frankly.
- Thank you.
- This look, a different take.
That's what it's about--versatility,
constantly switching it up.
And you keep me guessing every single week.
- This outfit is amazing.
It's exaggerated in all the right places.
And you wear it so well.
You are such an incredible queen.
So funny.
I had no doubt that you would knock it out of the park,
and you certainly did.
- I'm just so proud to be here with these girls.
It's like Disneyland for drag queens.
Every loop-de-loop that your drag could be put through,
this is where it happens.
And I'm just so proud to be here.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
- Up next, Michael Marouli.
- Marouli the Merciless, you had a lot of great jokes.
You were in control of that microphone.
You owned that stage.
And to be honest, you had me
the minute you got rid of those cards.
- The ultimate shade.
[laughter]
I don't need cards.
I know my jokes, bitch.
And--
[laughter]
And I was like, oh, this is going to be fun.
But once you got into that relenting rhythm,
it was like a workout for my abs.
But oh, it was just good for the soul.
I loved it.
- You have a lovely maternal energy about you.
Kind of like I'd probably say thank you
if you kicked me in the head.
You know, you've got that energy
about you that's gorgeous.
I just loved it.
And this outfit tonight, it reminds me of, like,
you when you see a cold, Italian, glamorous tourist,
you know?
They're like, I'm very cold.
So I have this giant puffer jacket on.
- I want it in every color.
[laughter]
- You pared it down on your face,
and you look 10 times bigger and 10 years younger.
You look beautiful.
I think this is the new direction
for Michael Marouli's drag.
- Oh, thank you so much.
- Watching you in all of these weeks
show us what you're made of.
The years of being on stage, it really,
really paid off tonight.
That comedy routine was masterful.
It was masterful.
- I'm blown away.
I'm getting a bit emotional and it's so silly, but--
I can't even talk.
[somber music]
I've waited my whole life for this moment.
And just to hear this, like--
You've given me everything just by being here.
- I think you all know what you have,
and what it is that allowed you to stay in this competition.
You know, you just needed someone to recognize
and go, yes!
You got it!
You are the chosen one.
It's so hard for us to hear that, you know,
after so many years of being pushed aside and not
recognized for how beautiful we are, and how smart,
and how creative!
And here we are on this stage, and we're telling all four of you,
you got it, kiddo.
You're fabulous.
The world's going to love you.
In fact, the world already loves you to pieces.
- Aw.
We love you.
- 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.
- Thank you.
[suspenseful music]
[slurps]
- Hello!
- You shady, shady bitches!
- So we're back in "Untucked," and look who's here.
Ugh. No, I'm joking.
- Hello! - Hi!
- Hello!
- What a gorgeous little sight for sore eyes.
- Me, I find myself just looking at Naomi's tits.
It was like, eek!
God!
[laughs]
- So, girls, unfortunately, Cara Melle, she's feeling sick.
She's gutted that she couldn't be here.
So let's cheers to Cara Melle's health.
And hopefully she'll be back soon.
- Holla.
- Cheers.
- Did you enjoy the roast?
- Yeah.
- So good.
I was like, wow, these girls are funny.
[laughter]
- I'm livid.
[laughter]
- Ginger, what did they say about you?
- I got good critiques. It was nice.
- Did you?
- Because you were so good.
And you with the cards.
You just went--
- Yeah, they're all gone.
- Yeah, it was so strong.
It was fabulous.
- Oh, thanks, guys.
- I feel really good about what I did.
I feel confident.
But Ginger did amazing.
So God only knows how this is going to go.
- My critiques were--
Michelle was really proud of me.
The stuff Ru was saying, like, as dramatic as it sounds,
like, touched my soul.
I think I did great.
I think I've redeemed myself in the comedy department.
But I don't know.
I think my runway today is really, really sick,
so maybe that could carry me through?
- Miss Tomara? - Yes, baby.
- How were your critiques?
- I mean, there were good.
And I roasted most of you.
- Whoo!
[laughter]
- "Love most of you."
- Oh!
- Who could that be about?
- Face crack.
- Girl!
Girl, she is a bitch.
- Listen, I'm going to be truthful.
- Yeah.
- I kept such a professional head with some of you bitches.
But, girl, I'm going to, like, lay it on the table.
You left such a bad taste in my mouth after episode one.
- I know Vicki, and I was waiting for this to happen.
And I'm like...[slurps]
- I just think, how you were from day one
really did wipe my emotions with you.
- OK.
- You're just very sneaky.
[dramatic music]
- Whoo!
Vicky, Vicky, Vicky!
Oh, my God.
- [slurps]
- And I know that you're doing it because you want
to get to where you've got.
But the way you were with Alexis from the beginning,
I just--
I hated seeing it.
- I pity the drag queen that got
to go up against you, baby.
- Absolutely.
- Who do you think's going to be your other?
- I think Alexis.
- A bit offended you say that.
It was never about that.
That is not the game I play.
And the next day, I said to you--
I apologized.
I was not trying to get under anyone's skin.
Like, that's just not what I do.
- I think you're talented.
But it--I'm not going to--
I'm not going to sit here and lie.
I went through this competition just thinking,
well, who else are you going to try and get rid of next?
- I didn't expect Vicky to come out with that about me.
You're bringing up stuff from week one.
I am just genuinely confused.
- I have to stand up for DeDe here.
Because, at the time, I also had thought
it was a bit sneaky.
But getting to know DeDe more,
I really don't think it was like that.
- Uh-huh.
- Vicky said that she didn't call her out because
she wanted to be professional.
But harboring a grudge about somebody for 10 weeks
until you get the chance to stick in the knife,
that is unprofessional.
- Alexis, like, I can't apologize enough for that.
And I really hope you know my intent
was never to set you up.
- So I didn't feel like you were attacking me.
- I love you. - I love you, baby.
Thank you.
- There's absolutely nothing negative.
- Thank you.
- There probably is a little bit of resentment
that DeDe's sent her home.
But they sorted it out.
Did they?
[laughs]
- What's "Drag Race" without a bit of drama?
- Exactly. - Yeah.
- The phrase "lamb to slaughter"
was thrown around a little bit. - Ah!
- Oh!
- Oh, and guess what, it involves me again.
- Oh, no! - Too bad for you.
[laughs]
- Fuck you.
Fuck you.
- What a fucking bastard.
- You were just as shit as me.
- Seeing the Werk Room full of drag creatures again
is really bringing home how far along this journey we are.
We are so close to the crowning.
- I feel like I'm definitely going to be lip-synching.
- Whatever happens, I don't feel bad.
Because I know I didn't do bad.
I'm not in the bottom because I did awful.
- That has been, like, the story of the season though.
That everyone has done so well in all the challenges.
It's been like splitting hairs.
- Yeah.
- Splitting hair lines.
[laughter]
- But at the end of the day, you want it, right?
- Bitch, I want it more than ever.
I want to win this fucker.
To be this close, oh!
Ah, help!
- Let's raise our glasses to the top four
and the eliminated queens of series five!
[cheering]
- Cheers!
- Yay!
- All right, just between us squirrel friends,
what do you think?
Let's start with Tomara Thomas.
- I was very proud that she was able to get up there,
open the show with not much material.
- Yeah.
- She just threw it all against the wall
and hoped something would stick.
- Can I get an amen up in this bitch?
- Anyone can write jokes or have jokes written for them.
But that type of uniqueness can't be bought.
- She has got funny bones.
With some of the other queens,
I'll be thinking of their jokes on the way home.
I can't remember one of her jokes,
and I think that's very telling.
- Listen, Tomara Thomas is such a star.
But there wasn't any real material there.
- Tonight on the runway, I thought she looked beautiful.
I wish, of course, that corset was nude.
It would have just sealed the deal.
- So you might have been looking
at the bodice, Michelle.
The nipple behind the lace-- really erotic, to be honest.
I felt, I was like, ooh!
Hi. I got a bit hot under the collar.
- All right, let's talk about DeDeLicious.
- So Tomara didn't have a lot of material.
DeDe had a ton of material.
What I love is that this 20-year-old gets up on stage,
tenacious, determined, confident, did not falter.
- She had a lot of jokes.
The majority of them were funny.
A lot of them didn't land.
- Alexis Saint Pete, blonde with a whole lot of ambition.
- Green.
- Just not many results.
- But it didn't stop her, so I want
to give her credit for that.
- Imagine how lucky we are this year that that might
be one of the less confident performances
of the comedy roast.
Because it was just--
I still thought it was stupendous.
- Love this outfit tonight.
Oh, my gosh.
Just glorious.
- It was '80s, it was retro, it was me sitting on a Friday night
watching "Dynasty."
And that's a little snippet into my world there.
- Yes.
[laughter]
- Strong night for DeDe.
Just not as strong as some of the others.
Ginger?
- It was sassy.
It was theatrical.
It was clever.
- Naomi's feet look like ET flicking
through the phone book.
- She came out and she delivered
a 1-2 knockout punch.
She just killed it.
- What I think people can learn from her comedy
is she didn't drop the F-bomb.
Swearing's a bit like farting in a lift.
You do it the first time, it's funny.
[laughter]
If you keep doing it, it's just--
it stinks.
[laughter]
Yeah.
- The only thing that was a thorn in her side
was those cards.
It kind of tripped her up for a millisecond.
- I'm not sure I even noticed the cards
at all, if I'm honest.
I actually really understand needing that grounding.
- Totally get that.
But it was neck and neck, you know?
- Yes. - And when it's neck and neck...
- It's so hard.
- That's, like, the one thing,
because it was flawless.
- But the runway look, typical Ginger.
Completely left field.
I'm going to do poofs my way, and I loved it.
That mind, how does it work?
It just--it's in another place.
- My goodness, that Ginger, she is ready for a world stage.
All right, let's talk about Michael Marouli.
- Absolutely amazing.
Let the jokes do the talking.
I loved it.
- Her look tonight, I thought it looked Paris Fashion Week,
London Fashion Week.
There was a real, like, high end quality to it.
- What a night he's had tonight.
- It was so funny and relentless.
- Triple barge winner, triple threat, triple heart bypass.
[laughter]
It just kept coming.
And masterful in resetting the room.
Tonight was a benchmark for roasts.
All right, silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
Welcome back, queens.
I've made some decisions.
Ginger Johnson, Michael Marouli,
tonight you both raised the mother-tucking poof.
Michael "No Cards" Marouli, condragulations.
You are the winner of this week's challenge.
- Whoo! - Whoo!
- Yeah, girl!
[applause]
- And the recipient of the coveted RuPeter Badge.
- [singing] Rule, Britannia
- Most importantly, you've earned your place
in next week's grand finale.
- Wow, girl.
- Ah!
I am a winner, baby!
My third RuPeter Badge.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe it.
I'm on cloud nine.
Ah! Uh!
- Ginger Johnson, you are safe.
And you've earned your place in next week's grand finale.
- I'm in the final!
I'm actually in the final.
What is happening?
- You two may step to the back of the stage.
Tomara Thomas, DeDeLicious, I'm sorry my dears,
but you are both up for elimination.
- The only thing standing between me and the finale
is DeDe.
I love you, girl, but it's mine.
- Two queens stand before me.
I've consulted with the judges, but the final decision
is mine to make.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me
and save yourself from elimination.
The time has come
for you to lip-synch
for your life.
- Tomara, girl, you're up against the lip-sync assassin of the season.
So tread carefully.
- Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
[Annie Lennox's "Little Bird"]
- [singing] I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
And cry, cry, cry
Yeah
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
I wish I had the wings
To fly away from here
Yeah
But Mama, I feel so low
Mama, where do I go
Mama, what do I know
Mama, we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best
But this little bird's falling out of that nest
Now I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test
I feel so low
Mama, where do I go
Mama, what do I know
Mama, we reap what we sow
I got to tell you, I must have been blessed
[cheers and applause]
- Yes, girls.
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
[dramatic music]
Tomara Thomas, shantay, you stay.
You've earned your place in next week's grand finale.
- Yes! [laughs]
Thank you.
- You may join the other girls.
- Thank you so much.
- Yeah, girl.
- Ah!
Congrats. - Love you, baby.
Love you. Killer. - Aw, Jesus Christ.
- DeDeLicious, my double-D queen.
- [laughs]
- You are delightful and de-gorgeous.
Now, sashay away.
- Thank you so much.
I've learned so much about myself.
And this is just--it's been the most
amazing thing I've ever done.
So thank you.
Double-D out! - [laughs]
- Whoo! [applause]
- I love you, girls. - We love you, DeDe.
- Love you, girls. So proud of yourself.
- You're amazing. - Well done.
- It looks like DeDeLicious just got DeDePorted.
Oh, no!
Oh!
Love y'all!
- Oh, yeah!
[cheers and applause]
- I was so close to the top three.
Tomara.
In all seriousness, I'm leaving on such a high note.
I'm not coming home with any badges.
And for the first time, I can confidently say,
that is just fine with me.
I was a lip-sync assassin.
I took three people down.
I'm going to DeDeSmash my way out of here and go to bed.
[laughs]
[upbeat music]
- Condragulations to my top three queens.
Now I want to hear from you, our fabulous viewers.
Who do you think deserves to be the UK's
next "Drag Race" Superstar?
Are you team Ginger Johnson?
Are you team Michael Marouli?
Or are you team Tomara Thomas?
Tune in next week for the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK,"
where we will crown ourselves a winner, baby.
And remember, if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
Can I get an amen up in here?
all: Amen!
- All right, now let the music play.
[singing] To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon, baby
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"...
You'll be starring as sexy cat burglars in a music video
for Spotlight.
[cheering]
- And before we let you go, we've got one more thing.
- Oh, my God!
[crying]
- You just have that personality
that draws everybody in.
- It's engaging.
It's exciting.
It's what drag should be.
- When you open your gob, it's like, wow, who's that?
- [laughs]
- The UK's next "Drag Race" Superstar is...
[dramatic music]
- [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
