- Previously on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
You'll be working in pairs as you create
two complementary looks.
[upbeat music]
- Are we complementary? - Are we complementary?
- You've got one little geode. - Yeah.
Copper has veered towards this Barbarella fantasy,
whereas I, a really snazzy rock.
- Oh, fuck
- It's taken so much more time than I imagined it taking.
We're just gonna have to serve it.
Black Peppa and JB, y'all.
- The execution with that material wasn't the one.
- Copper Topp and Cheddar Gorgeous.
- This outfit is just a little too simple
for a design challenge.
- Dakota Schiffer and Baby.
- You're like chicken tikka lasagna.
You shouldn't work, but you do.
[laughing] - Thank you.
- Condragulations.
You are the winners of this week's Maxi Challenge.
- Black Peppa, shantay, you stay.
Copper Topp, sashay away.
[somber music]
[dramatic music]
- Oh.
What a day.
- What a day.
- That was a lip sync and a half, that was.
- So we're back into the werkroom
after I just sent Copper home.
I'm not gonna lie, it's really humbling.
It's like okay, girl, you really need to up your game
because if you don't, you might be going next.
I love you all so much.
Count your lucky stars you won't
be playing me at Snatch Game.
[laughter]
Love, Old Maiden.
[laughter]
- Old Maiden!
- Slay, Old Maiden.
- I'm really gonna miss Ginger.
- Ginger? Copper Topp?
[laughter]
- Oh, God, she really did fade into the background.
- Goodbye, Ginger.
- I feel like Copper can't catch a break
because even in her exit from the competition,
Peppa is still massacring her name.
Girl, I'm sorry.
- We really love you, Copper.
- We love you. - Bye, bitch.
[laughter]
- Bye, bitch. - Bye.
- We love you.
I'm sorry for calling you an old maiden.
Sminty: I'm really gonna miss Copper.
She just did bring a really huge warm presence
to the whole group.
And I feel like after Copper's elimination,
the room definitely feels like a big space
has been taken out of it, which is really heartbreaking.
I really felt like it should have been me
up there with her
just because we were in a team together
and just because we worked on it together.
- Beyond that, because obviously Copper's look
was completely, almost quite different,
like, in terms of styles and--
- She did choose. - Right.
So yeah, what happened?
Was it just that Copper was like--
- She did. - No, I'm just--
I'm just laughing, like, you know, it was her fault.
[laughter]
- Yeah, you're right. I don't feel that bad.
She decided.
[laughter]
- I've got another question for my sister, Jon.
Babe, do you feel like you had a lucky escape then
because your sister was in the bottom one
from your group?
- Like, I do realize that, like, we were in the bottom.
But I still stand by this look.
I still think this is a fashion look,
and it was just down to execution.
This actually, for anyone else in fashion, is fashion.
- Danny is about to go and get my cock from between me legs.
Should we go and get changed, girls?
- Yes.
- Especially you two baked apple pies.
Come on, mummy's hungry.
- Baked potato pie, thank you.
- I can't get up.
- Oh, my God, get this--
- With three down, it's getting more desperate.
People are realizing we're not all here
to be best friends anymore.
- Oh. - Are we two aubergine emojis?
- Basically, we're just two silly fat dicks.
It's hard to prove to these girls,
if they don't get out of the way,
I'm gonna slap them to the side.
Better watch out.
And run all the way to that crown like a--
I don't know what I'm saying.
[laughs]
- Go. Show me more.
- This is Celtic wizard.
- Oh, that is Celtic wizard.
- It better not be another group challenge
because I need a solo.
I'm a break out star.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh!
- To the moon.
- [singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"
- The winner, crowned the UK's next Drag Race Superstar,
will receive an all expenses paid trip to Hollywood
to create their own digital series with the producers
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Tonight, with Michelle Visage, Alan Carr,
and extra special guest judge, Alison Hammond.
[singing] May the best drag queen win
Best drag queen win
[upbeat music]
[cheering]
Dakota: It's a new day in the werkroom,
and I have two Ru Peter badges.
But suddenly, it doesn't feel very natural,
and I feel very weird everyone's eyes
being on my new nipple covers, so...
[laughs]
- Congratulations on your win.
[cheering]
- You're no longer "Dakosta."
- Oh, my-- - Oh!
- Says Miss Sminty No Badge.
- Says the bitch with no badges.
- Oh, excuse me.
- I think we've got a bit of a sleeping assassin
on our hands.
Dakota was in the bottom in week one.
But now she has two badges.
I'm surprised, to be honest.
But I'm just excited to see what she does next now.
- Baby, how do you feel about having to share your win?
- At least I got a win, bitch.
I feel that after being sacrificed
in the girl group challenge, just to have
any kind of moment is lovely.
- Are we gonna do this to the end of time?
- Till the day I die, I swear, I will never let it go.
[siren blares]
[cheering]
- What you got for me?
- Her majesty did already did had herses.
Hey, ladykins.
- Hey.
- A cool cat once told me, if you scratch my back,
I'll scratch yours.
So put some glitter in your litter
and let your pussy roar.
You dig?
- I love cats.
- You'll be doing a shoot with lions.
- [laughing]
- Hello, hello, hello.
- Hey!
- Come on, suit.
- Hi, ladykins.
all: Hi!
- You know, to get ahead in this competition,
you have to be willing to put your arse
on the line, literally.
So for today's mini challenge,
we're doing a cheeky twist on musical chairs
with a game we call Line of Booty Duty.
[laughter]
- Now, I never had enough friends growing up
to play musical chairs, so actually,
I think I'm gonna do pretty shit.
- Okay, so you've got 15 minutes
to get into quick derriere enhanced drag.
Ready?
Set.
Go.
[screaming]
- Another quick drag.
I walk into this werkroom beat down, and then Ru's,
"Go over there and make yourself look absolutely
busted, and then come back over here
and run around like a prat.
Oh.
[upbeat music]
- Oh, my God.
Surely not.
- Let's get some pastries in there.
- At least all that off food will
match the smell of your pits.
[laughing]
- Right, makeup, makeup, makeup, makeup, makeup.
- I'm slapping this on like I'm slapping a backside.
- All right, ladies, time's up.
[all screeching]
- Time's up, ladies.
Now, my queens, it's time to play Line of Booty Duty...
[siren blares] - Yes.
- Where every chair is a derriere.
Oh, Brit crew!
- Ooh.
- Oh.
- Hello, officer.
I did it. Take me away.
- [laughs]
- I love his helmet.
- Ladies, Inspector Longbottom is here.
[laughter]
- It's your duty to shake that booty.
- Now, the rules are just like musical chairs.
When the music starts, you shake those booties.
When the music stops, you take a seat.
And if you can't find a seat, you're out.
In the end, the last queen standing wins.
Cheddar: I am so ready to play musical chairs,
or as I like to call it, ass to ass,
which is actually one of my favorite games
or group activities.
- Ready? Set.
Let the music play.
[RuPaul's "Who Is She"]
[laughs]
[record scratch]
[all screaming]
- Oh, no!
[laughing] - Oh, for fuck's sake.
[buzzer blares]
- Who expected that?
- Bummer.
- Danny Beard, darling, you are out.
- Do you know what? I'm out of breath anyway.
[laughter]
- I mean, Danny didn't want to run round.
This is too much cardio.
- All right, Officer Longbottom,
take away a chair.
All right, ready?
Set. Let the music play.
[RuPaul's "Peanut Butter"]
[record scratch]
[all screaming]
- I'm literally on my ass.
Dakota just knocked me off the bloody chair,
so she could get on it.
[all screaming]
- Sminty dropped! - Aww.
- Rest those cheesy feet, Cheddar.
You're out. [buzzer blares]
[RuPaul's "Who Is She"]
[record scratch]
[all screaming]
- Run, bitch, run!
- Oh.
[buzzer blares] - It's fine.
- Dakota was out next.
At least I didn't push you off.
You deserved that one. Ha!
[RuPaul's "Peanut Butter"]
[record scratch]
[all screaming]
[laughter]
[buzzer blares]
- I didn't know.
- Look at all the pastries at your ankles.
- All right, there are four chairs left and five girls.
Let the music play.
[RuPaul's "Who Is She"]
- Oh, look who's bringing up the rear.
[all screaming]
[laughter]
- Oh, dumb bitch down! [buzzer blares]
- No. - Oh.
- You're out, baby.
- I cannot believe that my lithe and luscious booty
has not landed me in the top of this little mini challenge.
[RuPaul's "Who Is She"]
[record scratch]
[laughter] [buzzer blares]
- Devastation.
- Black Peppa is out.
All right, there are only two seats left, three girls.
[RuPauls' "Peanut Butter"]
- You better arse somebody.
[record scratch]
[all screeching]
- Rats.
And then me.
I'm used to losing, so there's another notch on the bedpost.
- One seat left.
Ladies, are you ready?
- Ready.
- I was born ready.
- Yes.
- It's down to me and Sminty.
If I have to booty bash her out of the way,
I will, because I want to win this mini challenge.
- Two queens, one seat.
- We're head and head for the battle of the bums.
I'm gonna win this.
- Let the music play.
[RuPaul's "Who Is She"]
[record scratch]
[all screeching]
[laughter]
- Yes!
Looking great.
- Well, it's about time Pixie won something for herself,
isn't it?
Although, thinking about it, I did actually win
in that girl challenge too, so fair.
- Pixie Polite has earned her seat.
You're the winner, baby.
- Thank you very much.
If anyone's gonna win a prize for the biggest luscious booty,
it was gonna be me, let's be honest.
- Now ladies, if you thought that was the craziest thing
you'd do today, think again.
[dramatic music]
For this week's maxi challenge, fur will fly,
as you appear on the new chat show, "Catty Man."
[cat meows]
- Hosted by Alan Carr.
[cheering]
- #DragRaceUK.
We'll be testing your improv skills.
- Amazing, yes.
- There'll be family reunions, love triangles,
and a nasty case of cat scratch fever.
Rahr!
So you'll be working in groups of three.
- [sighs]
We have to work in teams again.
It's starting to feel like "All Stars" one up in here.
- Pixie Polite, because you won the mini challenge,
you get to assign the teams.
- Ooh.
- Okay.
- First, pick two queens to be in your group.
♪ ♪
- I'm going to choose Cheddar Gorgeous.
- Cheddar Gorgeous!
- And...
- Pick me, Pixie. Pick me, Pixie.
Pick me, Pixie.
Pixie, pick me.
- Danny Beard.
- Danny Beard!
- Duh, of course you're gonna pick Cheddar and Danny, okay.
Keep it moving.
- All right, now, Pixie, assign the other two groups,
starting with group two.
- I'm going to choose Dakota, Fil, and Baby.
We'll just go along the line.
- Okay, and group three?
- Peppa, Jonbers, and Sminty, babes.
- Well done.
All right. That makes it very easy.
- Manners, my mother taught me my manners.
- Oh, you are Pixie Polite.
- Yes. - Yeah.
Tomorrow on the runway, the category is the Mane Event:
Love your hair. Hope you win.
all: Ooh!
- Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
- Whoo!
- Come on.
Come on, gals, let's get out of this.
- Oh, I've got to get these blooming handcuffs
out me ears.
- Improv!
Oh, my God, this is next-level stuff.
Last time I did improv was when I was back at school
and we were in drama class.
And so, this is gonna be a wild ride this week.
- I've worked with you before.
I just worked with you amazingly.
I think that we're a good team.
- Pixie was sweet doing it like that.
- I know she was, yeah.
- Pixie, why did you choose us?
- Well, I feel like we bounce well off each other.
- And what about the other teams?
Because you made out like you were just
going along the line, but I--
- Well, I did go down the line. - Yeah.
- It was very conveniently done.
- And I thought that.
- I did pick the other two teams how they were lined up.
But I was thinking, okay, how do I
do like a middle team and a team who I think maybe
will be the worst?
- Jonbers, Peppa, and Sminty--
- Are we-- can everyone do accents?
- I definitely think they're--
they were conveniently in the middle.
- Interesting. - That's all I'll say.
- [laughing] Yeah.
- Pixie, she's that innocent looking woman at the bus stop.
She may not have thrown them under the bus,
but she's certainly standing near them
and waiting for one to come by.
- Are we all on the same page as to what improv actually is?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's reacting to--
you're given a statement by somebody.
It's about building upon.
And you never know where it's gonna go.
Peppa and Jonbers were in the bottom last week,
but maybe they are both Oscar award-winning actresses,
which is fine, I guess.
Hm, yes.
- And what are we not gonna do?
Be too overambitious, girlies.
- No, no.
- [laughing]
[upbeat music]
- Okay, Catty Man, scenario one,
Curiosity Killed the Katrina.
When an ex-child star wants closure
about the tragic disappearance of her sister,
she turns to Allen.
With the help of a psychic, Allen tries
to help her discover what happened.
But is there more to the story than meets the eye?
- Wow.
- We've been given a brief overview
of what our improv should be about,
and we've got to fill in all the blanks
and create our own story.
The pressure's on.
- So we got Katrina.
- Curiosity.
- Mystic Mog.
Are we gonna be able to smash it with these choices?
- Yeah, I think so.
- It's about-- - About team talent.
[laughter]
Don't say that.
- You've just set yourself up for the fall
from a high stack, my gay.
- [laughing]
- I think it'll be fun,
but I haven't done improv in a while.
I think it'll be all right.
- Honestly, I've never done improv before.
But I want to go all in for this challenge.
Well, shall we open her up?
When two rivals discover that somehow they've
swapped voices with each other,
they've literally got each other's tongues.
They ask Alan for help,
who's got an eminent tongue doctor
on hand to lend some advice.
- Oh, my God, Dr. Le Feline?
- Yeah.
Oh, hold on.
- As we were reading through the scripts
and seeing the notes about each character,
it's sort of, like, begin to align
with each other's personalities.
Queen number two is kitty cat, who's infamous
for being a really bad singer.
I mean, it's gonna be a challenge, just saying.
I'm not one to circle back, but okay.
But she's an amazing lip-syncer,
so there's every cloud.
- I feel like the roles have already cast themselves.
I'm Tabitha. You're Kitty Cat.
And you're-- - Dr. Le Feline.
- That's too good.
I have absolutely zero improv experience,
so I don't feel much pressure.
I only feel the pressure to just surprise people.
And that's the energy I'm taking into the challenge.
- The catfish is out of the bag.
- Oh.
- An unlucky in love queen thinks
she's here to meet the one.
But it turns out she's been duped by an online catfisher,
although romance could still be in the air
when she meets the actual person from the pictures.
[gasps] Okay.
This is quite camp though.
- This is my everyday life. - Yeah, this is my--
[laughing]
- I'm feeling really confident because, as we know,
I'm a chaotic mess as it is.
And I think improv is literally just being a chaotic mess.
- Who is feeling it
in their waters for each character.
- Oh, gosh. I don't know yet.
- I'm drawn to Catty and to Claudia.
- The character who I would be more expected to go with
would be Claudia because she's
sort of this, like, Instagram model.
She's really pretty.
And I don't want to go down that route of,
you're literally just playing yourself.
I think I'm drawn to Catty--
- Okay. - The most.
So I am gonna take the risk and go for someone
that maybe isn't more me.
- I'm doing Lucky. - Mm-hmm.
- And you're gonna do--
- I'm gonna do Catty Fisher.
- And I'm gonna be Claudia.
- Okay.
- I think that they're very good for us
because it gives us a chance to show something
we haven't shown before, you know?
- You've not shown any beauty yet.
- Ah!
- The comedy hasn't started yet, darling.
- [laughing]
[jazz music]
- It's time to hit the studio for the record of
"Catty Man" with Alan Carr.
Meow.
[hissing]
- Come on in, ladies. Come on in.
Where's me pussies? Here, pussy, pussy.
How are you doing, girls?
- Great. - Gorgeous.
- We're gonna do some improv here, so just go with it.
Have some fun.
But this pilot has to work, so don't fuck it up.
Can you do that?
- Yes!
- I'm really excited to be working
with Alan Carr, Chatty Man meets chatty Cathy.
Come on, let's go for a cuppa.
[upbeat music]
- Welcome to "Catty Man."
I'm Alan Carr, former cat psychologist
and friend of felines everywhere.
Now my first guest, she's a former child star
with a tragic past.
Please give it up for Curiosity.
[upbeat music]
- [sighs]
- Take a seat. Take a seat.
- Thank you, Alan. - Why are you here?
- I just wanted to come on and share with the world
my wonderful--I mean, tragic, tragic experiences.
You may know my wonderful sister, Katrina.
- Oh, yes, yes.
- We were the world's first yodeling acrobats.
- She disappeared.
- She wandered out one night in the Alps.
She was out on the hills yodeling.
And her loud screeching, well, we can
only assume that it brought a mountain down on top of her,
but they never found a body or any evidence.
- [laughs] - I think we need some answers.
Please welcome the psychic, Mystic Mog.
[carnival music]
- All right, Alan. How are ya?
- Oh, so you think it's funny coming on here
with comedy teeth, do you?
- Well, I did actually.
- [laughs]
- When did you first realize you had this ability
to look on the other side?
- Me dad had a cat, right, called Mog.
Mog got hit by a tractor, Alan.
And when it died-- - Oh, sorry to hear that.
- No, don't be sorry, Alan. It's a good story.
What happened is Alan, Mog ended up passing over
and becoming me spirit guide.
- What's the cat saying about this?
[laughter]
Oh, that's-- get back, get back, get back.
Oy.
[hissing]
Are you getting anything from Curiosity here?
- Give me a moment, Alan.
- What's that?
- Just a bit of catnip, darling.
It just gets me in the mood.
- You've got Katrina?
- She's here now.
She's on the other side of that wall.
- [gasps]
- And do you know what?
Curiosity didn't kill the Katrina
because she is here today.
Come on in, Katrina.
- I smell her.
- Hello, darlings.
- Oh. [laughing]
- It's so lovely to see you.
- Is it, you silly bitch? - [gasps]
- What do you mean, Katrina? You went out wandering.
I told you that mountain looked very precarious.
- There was a blizzard that night.
It was snowing.
I feel like you may have sent me out there
on purpose, my darling.
- [gasps] - Is this true, Curiosity?
Tell me.
- Yes!
- [gasps]
- I sent you out in that storm.
And yes, I did push you.
- Well, she was always jealous
of my acrobatic yodeling skills, Alan.
She was!
[yodeling]
- You bitch! - Oh--
- That's not even your real hair anymore, isn't it?
- Oh!
- No!
Baby: Watching Danny, Pixie, and Cheddar perform,
I cannot stop laughing.
They are killing it, from the top to the bottom.
- Mystic Mog, what can you see for their futures?
Please let us know.
- I can actually read lobes. Give me your lobes, girls.
Katrina loves cock, yeah.
[laughter]
- Is this true? Do you love cock?
- Yes, darling.
[laughter]
- I don't know where Pixie was even hiding that dildo.
And I honestly don't want to know.
- What I see in your future is two sisters
on the stage together again.
I think you're gonna make it, girls.
- Oh, and that's the great thing about "Catty Man."
It brings people together. Thank you so much.
Haven't they been wonderful? [applause]
- Thank you. I'm feline great now.
[laughter]
- My next guest is known on the club circuit
as having the voice of an angel.
But in a cruel twist of fate,
the cat's not just got her tongue,
someone's stolen it.
Please welcome Tabitha.
[upbeat music]
Oh, Tabitha, how are you?
Please sit down.
Why are you here?
- To be honest, Alan,
I've had quite a tough few weeks.
- [laughs]
Do you want-- - [laughing]
- It sounds like it.
Can you tell us about Kitty Cat?
- This bitch has been after my career.
- Sorry about the language.
- Sorry.
This slag has been after my career.
- Much better. Thank you.
She once sounded like a cat being strangled,
but now she's making sweet meow-sic.
It's Kitty Cat.
- Hello, Alan.
- So tell us about this tongue.
- I went to go get a couple of injectables in my face.
- [laughs]
- And I fall asleep during the procedure.
And when I woke up, I noticed something
felt different in my voice.
- Could we maybe hear this voice?
- I would love nothing more.
- [singing] Big ol' titties in your face
And you want a taste of the pussy
But you cannot have the titties for I am an independent woman
[soft music]
- He's got a songwriting degree, remember.
- Is it true that you stole Tabitha's man?
- Now I have her lover.
I have her career.
And I'm going to start my world tour in Cambodia.
- [laughs] Well, I never.
[laughter]
Well, perhaps my next guest can unravel this tongue twister,
Dr. Feline Much Better.
- Oh, hello!
- Please take a seat.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Tabitha here has swapped tongues with Kitty Cat.
Is this possible?
- The theory is that when tongues collide,
they cause a tongue space continuum,
and it rips a hole.
And I think something happened inside a black hole
on top of her man.
- Oh.
Le Fil: I prepared so much for this,
but I don't even know what I'm thinking.
Words are just coming out of my mouth.
One of the tongue tips entered the wrong hole
and caused this infinite continuum loop.
I don't know what I'm doing. The lights are on me.
Uh-oh.
- I heard that if you cough up the furball,
you get your tongue back in.
- Yes, yes, I think so.
- So maybe would you like to cough up a furball?
- Thank you. - You do it as well.
Come on. That's it.
Let's get these furballs up.
[both retching]
- What the hell's going on here?
- Has it worked? Has it worked?
- Oh, bloody hell, I'm back.
I'm back!
Tabitha is back.
- Me voice! You've got me voice.
- You're finished. - What am I gonna do?
- Thank you, Doctor, so much. - Thank you.
This is beautiful. - Thank you, girls.
I'm glad we sorted that out.
See you after the break.
[upbeat music]
[cat meows]
- My next guest found love online.
And she's here today to meet her dream girl
for the first time and make it official.
Please welcome Lucky.
Take a seat.
So this is a huge moment for you, Lucky.
How are you feeling?
- Me feel real good, Alan.
- [laughing]
And you've met someone online.
How did you know they were the one?
- I knew that Catty Fisher was the one
because, first of all, me did look 'pon her body.
And me say, Jesus Christ.
What kind of body look so big?
- Well, Lucky, are you ready to meet the Kat of your dreams?
- Oh, my God. - Come on in, Catty Fisher.
[tense music]
Oh.
Catty Fisher, please sit up.
Would you like to remove the veil, please?
- Me mama!
What this?
- Is this not the person in your photos?
- No, it's not. She ugly!
- Well, clearly not what she described.
Are you catfishing Lucky?
- Potentially.
I'm sorry.
- She wants a big "batty."
Can I have a look at your batty?
Is this batty good enough?
- No.
Alan, she looks like she's far from her kitchen.
[laughter]
Oh, my God.
- Are you not happy with that, Lucky?
- No, sir, no, sir.
- Was that a twerk?
- Now, we've got a surprise for you, Lucky.
That glamour puss that you fell in love with
is actually here backstage.
Let me introduce Claudia.
[upbeat music]
- You are an absolute stunner, Claudia.
- I am stunning.
And I am absolutely fuming.
My piss is boiling, Alan.
You are a pig slut.
- Oh.
How does that make you feel, someone calling you a pig slut?
- Listen.
A dear friend to me once told me...
[groans]
If you don't have anything nice to say,
don't say anything at all.
- Oink oink.
Pixie: Sminty, this catfish is about to be fried.
God, you should have left that veil on.
- Is there a bit of a chemistry between Claudia and Lucky?
- I can hear wedding bells. It's not the voices in my head.
I think there's going to be a wedding today.
Will you please marry me?
- We'll work on the voice first, but yes!
- I'm so happy.
- Can I marry you live on "Catty Man"?
- Yes, you can. - Yes, you can marry--
- Yes, you can, Alan.
- Do you take each other to be your lawful wedded wives?
both: I do.
- I now pronounce you wife and wife.
- You pig slut! [laughing]
- I know I'm tired.
Goodbye, my girl.
Stop catfishing people, yeah?
- Well, that's it. Thanks for watching, kittens.
And remember, you stroke my tummy, I'll stroke yours.
Meow, bye.
Sminty: Alan's called time, and I'm still sat on stage.
I've literally blanked out for this whole performance.
I just want a big hole to swallow me up right now.
[tense music]
[upbeat music]
- Got it, got it, yeah, come on!
- It's a brand-new day.
And I've woken up with the biggest morning glory
after yesterday because I finally felt
like I was confident to make people laugh
and have a good time while I'm doing it.
Do you feel like yesterday went well?
- I think we did well.
I'm really proud of the three of us.
I think, fingers crossed, it will
either be a great win for the three of us or one of us.
Hopefully, we'll get it.
- And you know what?
I'd be happy with either one of those.
- Yeah.
- I'm at the point where I'm so proud of Pixie.
If she wins this badge tonight, there's a part of me
that will obviously be pissed off.
But I'd rather it went to her than anyone else right now.
- I just feel like I've really proved myself now.
I feel completely euphoric.
It was the most fun thing I've done since we got here.
And you know, I think I "chatte" all over the stage.
Chatte is French for cat.
That was very clever, that one.
You know, we stopped being Safe Sallies.
And now, we're becoming Winning Wendys.
[upbeat music]
I'm pretty excited about today's runway.
- Me too. I love it.
- It's a quite a sentimental one for me, actually.
Hair was where, like, kind of drag started for me.
My hair means so much to me.
And from a very young age, I was always
very attached to hair styling toys and dolls with long hair.
Me and Harry growing up, we were playing
with dolls probably until we were about, like, five.
And then there was this massive intervention.
And they were all taken away from us.
And, like, our grandma didn't think that was right.
And she would really support our femininity.
She didn't force us to play with footballs,
or action figures, or anything like that.
She probably knew that we were gonna end up queer,
or trans, or whatever she thought we were.
We would go around grandma's because the only thing
me and Harry ever wanted to play with
were the curtain tassels because they
were the only thing that resembled hair.
And we just would put them on our heads,
and we'd braid them, and we'd cut them.
And she'd never get angry at us,
even though they were probably really expensive,
because she realized that we were missing something.
So the concept behind today's look
is basically a thank you to my grandma
for giving us space to be who we were in a time
where our parents were really finding it difficult
to understand our nature.
Yeah, emotional runway, but I'm really excited
to see it all come to life with all the makeup.
- It's nice to always have a piece of you in each runway.
- Absolutely. - I think that for me as well.
Like, hair's such a massive thing for me as a child.
No, you will have a short back and sides
and look like a boy, like every other boy.
In a Chinese family, being a boy is,
like, such a big thing.
To be a model child with a mushroom bowl haircut.
All that type of stuff growing up
emphasized this idea of masculinity.
And it became a lot of pressure.
I think when I was four or five,
I already knew I was gay.
And I already started experimenting
with different ideas about what gender was
and being told I couldn't play with dolls, like,
being told that you have to play with cars
and being given a car and footballs.
I don't know what to do with this.
- What is this?
- My natural instinct was to throw it away.
And so I think growing up, like, I always
wanted to experiment with hair,
but I never could until I left home.
That's the only time I started growing my hair.
And it was almost like rebellion in a way
to let it grow.
I feel like my drag was
an evolution of growing my hair,
swishing it about.
And that's why I'm really excited to show my hair
on this runway, because I'm really proud
of being a strong Asian gender fluid person.
[upbeat music]
- What are you wearing tonight? Big hair day.
- I'm, like, paying tribute to, like, my heritage.
I'm gonna have braids all over my body,
being proud of, like, the hair that I have as a Black queen.
Your hair is your identity.
I'm not even gonna use that lightly.
My hair is my image.
My hair is my Blackness.
To love the hair that I have, obviously,
growing up in the Caribbean, it did take me a while
to just be like, this is who I am.
Growing up, I had a really religious family.
They just told me, if you want to look presentable,
you can't have long hair, you can't have dreads.
Your hair needs to have waves.
And I just felt I was going through
an emotional and physical battle
with the genes I was given.
So basically, in the Black community,
you have waves in your hair if you brush it,
and you add styling gel, and [indistinct],
and all these other things.
And I remember, like, trying everything
to make the texture of my hair look different.
Adding so many chemicals to it, I almost lost all my hair.
And it's just ridiculous that we're
putting ourselves through this so that we
can be "presentable."
I still have a long way to go.
And I've lied about my hair so much times,
like, the wig I wear in the werkroom all the time.
- It's a wig, right? - Yeah, it's a wig.
And like, obviously, there's that insecurity in me
who grew up thinking, you know, I'm never good enough already.
So like, my hair is the last thing
I want to be worrying about.
- Like, hair for me--because obviously, I have no hair now.
When I was younger, I had beautiful thick,
like, auburn hair.
I loved my hair more than anything itself.
And I had meningitis when I was, like, 18.
I was very sick.
For a number of weeks, I was in intensive care.
And one of the things that never fully recovered
was my hair.
It was always an insecurity for me.
It just got thinner, and thinner,
and thinner progressively.
It was shattering to me, to think, oh, God,
this is something I'm gonna lose.
But then when I shaved it, honestly, liberation.
It was the best decision I ever made.
Having no hair is actually now incredibly important
to my sense of identity.
It makes me feel a little bit more than human.
- I don't think I've ever seen you
with any hair on your head.
- I mean, I wasn't as beautiful as I am now.
But you know, I was fairly up there.
[both laugh]
- It actually has become that way that I
bring that little element of drag confidence into my life.
What's strange is that sometimes,
the conformity we break is what makes us stand out.
So that's why it's so nice to see Baby and you doing,
like, real bold Black inspired hair for the runway.
- This runway really means a lot to me because I want
to give, like, I am Black,
this is me, and I'm not ashamed of that.
- That's more than just about your aesthetic.
That's you placing your history on your body.
That's you telling your story through becoming
this amazing spectacle.
And that is drag.
- That is drag. - Right?
I love it.
[upbeat music]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
RuPaul: [singing] Cover girl, put the bass in your walk
Head to toe, let your whole body talk
And what?
- Welcome to the main stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK."
Her claws are out tonight.
It's Michelle Visage.
- Who, me? I'm just a little pussycat.
- [laughing]
The super "spexy" Alan Carr.
Now, Alan, I've got news about the "Catty Man" show.
- Is it good news or bad news?
- Oh, no, it is good news, yes.
Definitely good news.
The show's been canceled. [laughter]
- Thank God. I thought I'd never work again.
- And the sensational Alison Hammond, welcome.
- Babes, I am so excited.
I'm so excited for you to give me that dress after.
- Oh, it'll cost you.
[laughter]
This week, we challenged our queens
to improv for their nine lives.
Tonight on the runway, the category is the Mane Event:
"Love your hair. Hope you win."
- [laughs]
- Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
- [singing] Can you feel the love?
- Up first, Danny Beard.
- Anyone else fancy a McDonald's?
[laughter]
- I am serving you a hairy '80s icon realness thing.
- I think she's off to see the "frizzard."
[laughter]
- I've got my little dog, Dogino D'Acampo, a red wig,
and a silver lead, I do think.
- Here today, gone tomorrow.
Danny: Alison Hammond is looking me in the eye.
She is laughing. She is smiling.
She can see a television star imagined.
[upbeat music]
- Up next, Cheddar Gorgeous.
- It's a back alley cat.
Cheddar: I am embodying the Cheshire Cat.
It's not just a great hair day.
It's a great fur day.
- Oh, yes. Take it off, babes.
- Ooh!
- Oh, wait.
- Uh-oh.
- Oh.
Oh, What's wrong?
- Oh, it's a fur ball.
It's the same color.
- Well, Michelle, I owe you five bucks.
She does have a gag reflex.
- Told you.
- There's nothing spayed about this pussy.
- Up next, Pixie Polite.
This reminds me of that famous painting.
What's it called?
Oh, Penis de Milo. - Yes.
- I am giving you the Birth of Venus
with her iconic auburn hair.
- She's a pearl.
- I really wanted to go
from disgusting, weird old lady
in the challenge and then go completely the other end
and give you absolute glamour and beauty.
And I think I'm turning it.
- She's got it.
Yeah, baby, she's got it.
[laughter]
- Dakota Schiffer.
- Babes, you're crimping my style.
Dakota: I am giving you a curtain tassel fancy
and serving you Moschino-Galliano grandma.
- It's more like Planet of the Drapes.
- It's curtain call for the other girls.
- Pull yourself together.
[laughter]
- Up next, Baby.
- Oh, fire.
- I am serving a Grace Jones inspired cage dress
made entirely out of dreads.
- Don't get it twisted.
- I am giving Black hair, Black culture, Black beauty.
It's such a proud moment for me.
- Ooh, cheeky.
- Up next, Le Fil.
- No split ends here.
Well, maybe two.
Le Fil: I am serving you an outfit made from all
the hair from my bathroom plug holes and any dregs
that I can pull out of those clumps.
- Well, Ru, he tried to tease it,
but only pissed it off.
Oh. - Ooh.
Le Fil: I can see eyes are popping.
I can see Alison glowing.
And they're eating this up.
Every swish of my hair is another happy face.
- For the town's best blowie, go to Fil.
- Up next, Black Peppa.
- I said flat-chested, not plait-chested.
- I'm serving you braided sculpted hair
from the darkest braids straight down to the blondes.
- I think I saw her in "The Brady Bunch."
[laughter]
- I wanted to give you empress.
I wanted to give you goddess.
I wanted you to give you, bow down to me right now
because I am so stunning.
And that's why you have to bow down to me.
- Plait's entertainment.
[laughter]
Up next, Sminty Drop.
- Ru, you know what her favorite sport is?
- No, what? - Cricket.
[laughter]
Sminty: The inspiration behind my look
came from seeing a moth eating all my clothes
in the corner of my room.
And I thought, you're quite gorgeous.
I'm gonna turn you into a look.
- That hair is amazing.
I just want to grab a hold of them little ponies
and ride it.
Sminty: I'm feeling super, super confident that the judges
are gonna eat this up.
They're gonna j'adore the couture, mi amore.
- Looking great from her head to her mosquito.
- Jonbers Blonde.
- My look is inspired by the great Raine Spencer,
who was Princess Diana's stepmother,
who always had her hair to high heavens.
- Roots the chic-quel.
- [chuckling]
Jonbers: So I'm coming down the runway in my big fur coat.
And then I drop it.
And they're expecting no knickers.
Surprise, fur knickers.
- Ooh. - Oh.
- Hair bikini. Love that.
Jonbers: I'm feeling very itchy in my look.
Somebody pass the scratching poll.
- Is that Raquel Squelch?
[laughter]
- Welcome, ladies.
Based on your performances in the challenge
and your runway presentations, made some decisions.
[dramatic music]
When I call your name, please step forward.
Dakota Schiffer,
Black Peppa,
Jonbers Blonde.
Ladies, you are all safe.
And you may leave the stage.
[dramatic music]
Ladykins, you represent the tops and bottoms of the week.
Now it's time for the judges' critiques,
starting with Cheddar Gorgeous.
- Curiosity had to lead the whole thing off.
And in the beginning, I thought, uh-oh,
is she overthinking this?
But I thought you gave a lot to the character
and you went for it.
- Every time I asked you something,
you had an answer for it.
- They never found a body or any evidence.
- Because you had your backstory sorted.
So well done.
- When you came out here today, you made love to that stage.
I was feeling it.
The fur ball, loved it.
Babes, you are purr-fect.
- Thank you, Cheddar. - Thank you.
- Up next, old Danny Beard.
- From the moment you walked out as Mystic Mog,
I was fully invested.
You didn't miss a beat, Danny.
- Sorry to hear that.
- No, don't be sorry, Alan. It's a good story.
- And I loved every second of it.
- What a pleasure it was to work with you.
I absolutely loved it.
We've got this very weird British tradition
of having psychics on the telly where you'll be
talking and they'll go, "Not now, love.
Not now, love."
You know?
And people don't even question it.
It was so funny and totally recognizable.
I was so impressed.
- Oh, Danny, you've got real talent, natural comedy.
This outfit tonight, that is so up my street.
The nails, babes--
I'm a bit embarrassed about my nails today
because you are literally giving me a run for my money.
Smashed it.
- You were hilarious. You were listening.
You were finding the places to put your jokes.
I wouldn't have changed a thing about what you did.
- Honestly, to hear you say that,
like, I'm shocked.
So yeah, thank you.
I don't know why it's so emotional.
Fuck's sake.
I'm always crying.
God. Get it together, girl.
I loved it. Thank you.
- We loved it too. Thank you.
Up next, Venus on the Half-Shell,
Pixie Polite.
- When you came out as Katrina, you appeared
to be a John Waters character, which I loved straight away.
That one bad wig into another.
- Oh! - No!
- You're charming to watch.
- You know, the standard was set so high for,
what is Pixie gonna do?
And you came, and you delivered.
I'm gonna say three words, the new sugar babes.
[laughter]
- Tonight, you just look so stunning.
You really light up that room.
And you've really got something special.
- You look just beautiful.
This is quite a departure.
And it's the right time to show that versatility
in this competition.
Did you have your makeup artist come in
and do your face tonight?
- Yeah. I borrowed your team a 50, Ru.
[laughter]
Thank you, though.
It means the absolute world.
- Thank you, Pixie. - Thank you so much.
- All right. Up next, Baby.
- Hi, Baby. - Hi, Alan.
- Now, listen, I know you were nervous when you came out,
but boy, did we give you a storyline to play with.
So if you were nervous, can you imagine how amazing
you'd be if you were confident?
- I know.
- I thought you had some moments that were okay.
- Cambodia.
- But all in all, it kind of fell flat and was one note.
- Tonight, you look incredible.
You've got dreadlocks.
Dreadlocks are really strong, powerful.
And that's what I see standing in front of me,
someone strong, powerful.
- Thank you.
- I think the idea of this outfit is good.
It could be better though.
And again, I'm gonna echo what Michelle said.
Your character, it was really just one note.
Moving forward, it is all about understanding
what your objective is.
Tell me, in this competition, what is your objective?
- My objective is just to grow as much as possible.
Like, I know I haven't been doing drag forever.
I just want to learn, try to take everything on
as much as I can.
- Well, this is not really a school, you know.
I need you girls to come prepared.
We're looking for the UK's next drag superstar.
And then in the process, we can draw more out of you.
All right, thank you.
- Thank you.
- Up next, Le Fil.
- I thought your doctor fell a bit flat.
It was glimpses there of funny stuff, so I smiled.
But I really wanted a laugh.
- There were built-ins with this character.
And I felt like it was the same kind of,
oh, I'm playing a doctor, kind of thing throughout.
- A tongue space continuum.
- I think with everything,
you've got to have light and shade.
And I think you did bring the shade.
We can't all be hilariously funny.
For me, the fact that I believed you was a doctor,
you smashed it for me.
- wow, this runway look.
- They are all sink drainers capturing the hair
of my flatmates and me.
- I think you live with a load of yetis, don't you?
- Now, the thought you put into this dress is amazing.
That's what you needed to put into this character.
And you've got to put that into everything you do
in this competition.
Otherwise, you'll be overshadowed.
And I'm afraid that that's what happened tonight.
All right, thank you. - Thank you.
- All right. Up next, Sminty Drop.
- Catty Fisher, it's like you came out,
you showed your face, and then you were gone.
And that made me really sad because it
was a great platform for you to have fun.
- I completely understand.
I felt myself sort of mentally check out after watching
the other two performances.
And then I sort of came out. And I was like, oh, shit.
What do I do? - Yeah.
- Well, you got to remember, babes.
It there's only one of you.
Everyone else is taken.
You've just got to own your shit.
Be in that moment.
- When you were twerking so unenthusiastically,
it was funny.
But then I sort of realized, oh, that's not the character.
You just don't want to be there.
So I was like, oh, okay.
Listen, can you imagine if you made that character as clever
and as witty as that outfit there,
you'd blow everyone's mind.
- Tonight was not a good night for you,
but you look fantastic.
It's absolutely outrageous.
- I was going for Mothy Kendoll, Mothy Kendoll.
- Oh, Mothy Kendoll, you're from the Haus of Kendoll.
- Yeah, Haus of Mothy Kendoll.
- Can you do the thing for me?
- Rahr!
[laughter]
- That's a lot better.
- That'll be in the promo.
Well, thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck in the werkroom,
the judges and I will deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
- I am so relieved.
I don't think anyone expected me
to do well at this challenge.
- When Ru said safe, the relief I felt--
- I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
I did actually kind of want to be in the top
because obviously, I was safe and then bottom, bottom.
And now I'm safe. Apparently, I'm a safe bottom.
Condom, condoms for everyone now.
[dramatic music]
- Bitch.
- Hey, everyone.
- Yo. - Hi.
- You all right, babes?
- I am desperate to hear what they said.
- How were your first critiques, Danny?
- Weirdly emotional, like Ru said,
I was a comedy legend,
and they wouldn't change a thing.
- That's incredible. - Impeccable critiques.
- That is amazing, babe.
- You should be so proud of yourself.
- Thank you, I am.
I've been waiting a long time to be on this show.
And I never thought someone like me would be on here.
Like, I'm not a Ru girl. Like, look at me.
To hear RuPaul say those things, like,
it means a lot to me.
Drag means a lot to me.
It's literally my whole life.
I'm sorry to cry.
Like, I'm fucking-- if I'm fucking safe, I cry.
If I'm fucking in the top, I cry.
[laughter]
- Pixie, how about you?
- You look so amazing.
- Ru really praised me for my makeup,
which is something I was not expecting
or, like, even thought, like, coming into this.
I find it really hard to love myself
and how I look in my body.
It's just really nice to feel beautiful for, like,
maybe, like, properly for the first time
and actually believe it because it's coming from these people.
[soft music]
- Because you know what, Pixie?
You were amazing.
I was so grateful for you.
But, Danny, Danny Beard, you--
you were amazing.
- You're such a natural at it.
And it's honestly-- it's really good to watch.
Like, I loved it.
- And just-- it's just so there.
- Hello?
Am I--hello?
- That character was just perfect.
- Am I not also in the top? What's happening?
Hello?
- Well, Ru specifically did say to me,
actually, it's a good time to be
coming out through the pack.
- Yeah, she said something like you smell of shit though.
[laughter]
- And what about the other critiques?
- By the time it got to me, it was basically that it
came across that I was unprepared.
- You're not an unprepared person.
- Yeah, exactly.
But I feel like-- yeah, tonight,
I will be lip-syncing, so--
- Sminty, how do you feel?
- They were obsessed with your looks.
- They were literally gagged over my look.
And to be fair, so am I. They should have been.
[laughter]
My performance was a load of cat shite.
But my look on the runway was literally
the best of the night.
Is it 50% on the mark?
I don't know.
- This look is impeccable, but I think you--
it sounds--
- You think I'm lip-syncing? - I think you were the--
I think you were the worst yesterday.
- Yeah, that's fine. I completely agree.
- I think this look saved Sminty.
I'm not gonna lie.
- I mean, I fucking hope it saved me.
Geez louise.
- Baby, what's going on? Girl, you've not said much.
- Like, a lot is going through my head
right now because obviously, like,
last week, I was there, like, on stage
about getting, like, amazing critiques
about how fucking talented I am.
And this week, it's just like, this look would be better.
- They're pushing you, bitch. They want to see more from you.
They like you.
- And obviously, like, when she asked me, like,
what I'm doing in the competition,
I'm trying to give, like, a really, like, political,
like, polite answer.
- Maybe they were looking for, like, what you want from it.
But I think you gave them an answer that you
thought they wanted to hear.
- I did.
Obviously, like, I do have anxiety.
I've lived a whole life before I came here.
Do you get what I mean?
So obviously, me saying that in that way to give them
what they want is a reflection of my own trauma
that I've been through.
I've always had, like, a weird relationship
with, like, authority figures.
So having that kind of tone, I revert back to, like,
ten-year-old me.
And I'm, like, trying to just say the right thing,
so I don't get in trouble.
- I'm so sad. Both my teammates--
- No, but like, for me, like, at the end of the day,
this is what we signed up for.
But except for this is my first time,
like, actually being worried about being in the bottom.
I'm like, oh, shit. - You know what, though?
If it is you two, I think we are
in for a show tonight.
- Sminty, if it's you, you make sure those things
waddle on your head.
- Bitch, if it's me, I'm going to absolutely fight
to the last nail.
I'm not going nowhere.
- Manchester's in the house.
- All right.
Now just between us squirrel friends
what do you think?
Cheddar Gorgeous.
- Once she realized this wasn't,
like, the actor's studio, she started giving into it.
And I really enjoyed it.
- I just thought she was on point
with regards to her character.
She had everyone's back.
She was funny.
- And on the runway, as always with Cheddar,
we got something extra.
We got a regurgitated fur ball.
- I could have used a few more jokes in her improv.
But on the runway, she's always, always fabulous.
All right.
Up next, Danny Beard.
- I'm gonna go out there and say that
Danny Beard was the highlight of "Catty Man" for me.
- It's like good tennis.
You hit the ball to him, and he hit it straight back
with something even funnier.
- On the runway, it was like Tina Turner had arrived.
Had hair on the arms. I loved it.
- It was like Tina Turner and King Kong had a baby.
- Exactly.
- The moment Danny turned that corner on "Catty Man,"
brilliant.
Very good night for Danny Beard.
All right, Pixie Polite.
- From the beginning, you can kind of see her
almost being people's shadow.
And I thought tonight, she took the main stage.
- On the runway, it was just perfect.
You could kind of see her coming to her own.
Oh, it's just so beautiful to watch.
- Showed off that lovely body.
I love the pearls, but disappointed
with the empty clam.
[laughter]
There, I've said it.
- And the makeup, my goodness.
I mean, I've seen pictures of her before.
It was not this. I'll tell you that.
All right. Let's move on down to Baby.
- So, Baby, for me, she was really trying to go for it.
I think the problem was she didn't know
what she was going for and therefore couldn't achieve it.
- She didn't have much character depth.
But boy, did she throw her heart and soul into it.
So that has to be commended.
- As for the catwalk, I loved the dreadlocks.
It was powerful. It was strong.
- I just think that her outfit needed to be elevated,
as did her improvisation.
- All right. Let's talk about Le Fil.
Le Fil's performance as a doctor was flat.
In some ways, I wanted to get the defibrillators out
and try and put some life into the performance.
- As for the runway, we wanted hair.
He gave us hair.
- I love the drain plugs.
I love the story that he told.
- So brilliant.
It was so prepared for this.
That's why I equated putting this outfit together
with putting together the doctor.
This was not funny.
So let's move on to Sminty Drop.
- A real show of two halves for me.
Really disappointing in Catty Man.
But wow, what a runway look.
- We know she's always gonna present on this runway
an immaculate conception.
And that's what it was tonight.
- So stunning.
And I'm just sad that Catty Man went
so badly wrong for her, really.
- And there's so many things she could have done.
We know that she understands how to fully realize them
because we got to see this outfit on the runway,
which was absolutely gorgeous.
All right.
Silence. I made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
[tense music]
Cheddar Gorgeous, you're safe.
You may join the other girls.
- Thank you.
- Danny Beard, in the challenge,
you tickled all our bellies.
Condragulations.
You are the winner of this week's challenge.
[cheering]
And you've earned a coveted Ru Peter badge.
[dramatic music]
You may join the other girls.
- I am chuffed to bits.
This has opened the door now. Buckle up.
Call the fire brigade because Danny Beard is about
to set this werkroom on fire.
- Well done.
- Pixie Polite, you are safe.
- Thank you very much.
- You may join the other girls.
[tense music]
Baby, your runway was bold,
but your performance left us cold.
Le Fil, your runway gave us life,
but your doctor flatlined.
Sminty Drop, on the runway, you drew us in like a moth
to a flame, but in the challenge,
you got burned.
Le Fil,
you are safe.
You may join the other girls.
Baby and Sminty Drop, I'm sorry, my dears,
but you are both up for elimination.
- Once that track starts, I know that it's game on.
And this may not be school, but class is gonna be
on session on that stage.
I'll tell you that for free.
- 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.
[dramatic music]
The time has come for you to lip-sync
for your life.
Sminty: I do not want to go home in this amazing outfit.
Put your hands up because this is a robbery.
- Ladies, good luck.
And don't fuck it up.
singer: Take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable
It's a occupation
We're a dancing nation
We keep the pressure on every night
Explanations are complications
We don't need to know the where or why
Take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
Taking chances, bold advances
Don't care if you think we're out of line
Conversation is interrogation
Get out of here, we just don't have the time.
Take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't never gonna be respectable
Respectable
- Oh! - Ah!
- Ooh!
singer: Presentation is just frustration
Give us the music, and we're all right
On each occasion, for your information
We can look after ourselves all right
Take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable
Respectable
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't never gonna be respectable
Respectable
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't never gonna be respectable
Alison: Whoa!
Yes.
[cheering]
Definitely not respectable.
Wow.
Whoo!
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
[dramatic music]
- Baby, shantay, you stay.
- Thank you.
- You may join the other girls.
[soft music]
Sminty Drop, you are fabulous.
Now, sashay away.
- Thank you so much for having me.
I'll never forget it.
- You're a star, baby. - Whoo!
- I love you, Sminty.
- You're gonna be walking the runways.
Honestly, girl, you'll get it. - Amazing.
[laughter]
- We love you, girl!
- Oh, God.
[soft music]
- This did not match up to my fantasy.
But you know what?
I left looking this good.
Honestly, just happy that I've met a bunch of sisters
that I can call family.
They are--oh, God.
Not that again.
They're literally the best bunch of people
I've ever met.
- Condragulations, ladies.
And remember, if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
Can I get an amen up in here?
all: Amen.
- All right. Now let the music play.
RuPaul: [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
- Next time on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
For this week's maxi challenge,
you'll be starring in "Lairy Poppins: The Rusical,"
singing live.
- Are you from Liverpool? - Yeah.
- I love the accent. - Do you?
I think he's looking at me thinking,
is the strictly curse becoming a drag race curse?
- You were spiraling down a well
with nobody to rescue you.
- You are an utter, utter out and out pro.
And you alone have been worth my visit.
