RuPaul: Previously on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
We'll be testing your improv skills
with the new chat show, "Catty Man."
- Monae, I wanna maul ya.
Alan: Oh, so you think it's funny coming on here
with comedy teeth, do ya?
- Well, I did chat, so. [laughter]
- If you don't have anything nice to say,
don't say anything at all.
- [singing] Big ol' titties in your face
- She's got a songwriting degree, remember?
RuPaul: Sminty Drop.
- Look, when you were twerking so unenthusiastically,
then I realized that's not the character.
You just don't want to be-- [laughter]
- Baby. This is not really a school.
I need you girls to come prepared.
Danny Beard.
- You didn't miss a beat, and I loved every second of it.
- Condragulations, you are the winner
of this week's challenge.
Baby.
Shantay, you stay.
Sminty Drop.
Sashay away.
[laughter, sobbing]
[upbeat music]
- Yo. - Oof.
- The eliminations just happened.
I've sent Sminty home.
And I feel guilty, because I know
how bad she wanted to be here.
But if it comes down to lip sync, like,
you're not gonna take me.
"The Manchester Mannequin started panicking.
"But this is not the last runway you'll see me on.
Sminty." - Amen, girl.
- Amen. - Love you, Sminty.
- I am so proud to be a Manchester queen with Sminty.
She has done our city so proud.
all: We love you, Sminty!
- Miss Smintisha Jones, my ethnic sister
with the fake tan.
all: Oh!
- I think a little bit of Sminty might be pleased to be home,
because she needs to put all of Gothy's jockstraps
on a boil watch and get that tangerine tan
out of the crack, quick.
- Pixie, how are you feeling?
- Like, I felt like it could go to either me or Danny.
- Absolutely. - Like, quite legitimately.
I had a feeling anyway that I wouldn't get it.
I've never been the girl who, you know, is the bride.
So, like--
And girl, you smashed it. - Neither have I, girl.
I'm, like, the bride of Chucky.
[laughter]
- I feel like I just completely smashed the challenge,
and then just to walk in to Untucked after critiques,
feeling so high from all those great comments
and have anyone just sit there
and be like, "Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny."
I'm sort of looked over a bit.
I'm not being, like, a knob and being, like, "Oh, I should have won."
But, like, I feel like I spent my, like, whole career
really trying to prove myself.
And I get so close every time, and I just, for some reason,
can't get to the end.
- Those critiques don't mean nothing just because you don't
have a badge to prove it. - I know. I know.
- They meant everything they said. - It's just, like, I'm just--
- Bitch, you were told tonight you were beautiful.
Just get out of this space.
You are thriving here.
You'll get the win.
- Danny is a big personality.
And I think it's difficult to shine sometimes next to Danny,
because Danny is so good.
- Talking of what RuPaul was saying,
she gave you some good bits of advice.
- I wasn't prepared.
I didn't put in enough work
to take that character where it needed to go.
So, I think, instead of kind of taking a backseat with things
I know that I'm not that good at,
I'm just gonna push extra hard.
And, like, what else can I do?
The way that I thought things were gonna go here
are not materializing in real life.
And I'm trying to be professional,
but the little voices in the back
are starting to be a bit like, "Hey, what's going on?"
but knowing that it is a competition,
and we gotta push through, I'm trying to keep a positive mental attitude,
and, like, just go and attack the next challenge.
I just have one question.
Who's gonna make the most of next week's opportunitah?
all: Mah!
- Girls, can we go and get all this crap off ourselves?
Let's go!
- Right. RuPaul is looking for a superstar.
- I can't get this off.
- I love all these girls.
But they need to bite my dust.
- What are you gonna do next week to improve your runway?
- Borrow some of yours and put a panel in the back.
[laughter]
- The competition's really starting to heat up.
- [laughs]
- Only one of us can win.
- Ooh!
- It's time for me to win my own badge!
[yelling]
- That's why they call me Cheddar Gorgeous.
RuPaul: 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 Hannah Waddingham.
- [singing] May the best drag queen win - [singing] Best drag queen win
[upbeat music]
- Come on. Let's go!
[all cheering]
- It's a new day in the Werk Room,
and this is definitely the Olympics of drag.
- For Sminty!
- If this is a marathon, this is the pinnacle point
that you would shit yourself.
- So how are we all feeling today? - Wow. This table's feeling empty.
- Empty!
- It feels so ridiculously small.
- Is the pressure getting, like, more for some of us?
- Yeah, a little bit, yeah, especially after having
my ass handed to me in critiques last week.
I think I'm a bit, like, ooh, this is very real now.
We have to keep on pushing.
I want to get better.
But I'm starting to doubt myself a little bit.
I'm aware of that, and I'm trying to keep myself up.
- Ru was not happy in those critiques,
and I do not want to be in that repeat position again.
Like, we need to make her laugh and smile all the time.
- Yeah. - And I think, with that being said,
we should probably congratulate Daniel Beardington on the win.
[overlapping chatter]
- You were fabulous. - Danny Beard.
- So good. - Thanks, girls.
- How are you feeling about it today?
- It's so emosh.
Like, RuPaul saying, like, great things about you.
Like, I'm flabbergasted.
I'm not lost for words often, girls.
[laughter]
I have just won another badge.
RuPaul likes me.
The queens are shaking.
Honest to God, I am chuffed to bits.
- JB, you've been in the bottom a couple of times.
- That I have.
- And it may be the first time anybody's ever said this,
but you've not had any tops yet.
- I know, I know! I'm [indistinct]! - What are you gonna do?
- You're now the only one without one of these
gorgeous badges as well.
Everyone else seems to have a badge.
- She's the least-decorated queen.
- What you gonna do?
- Obviously, I want to be in the top,
so I just have to be the best that I can be.
These queens keep on coming for me that I'm the only one without a badge.
But not all super queens have badges.
So, you know, go fuck yourselves.
- Do you know what I want to know?
How Katrina's magic dildo's doing.
And where is it now?
- Please, 'cause I'd like to borrow that.
- Do you know, actually--oh, sorry, I'm just getting a message.
It's saying, "Can we get a hacksaw
to chop this badge in half, just so we can share it?"
Danny: Hang on. Hang on. I'm just getting a message.
"No." [laughter]
[siren blaring] all: Ah!
RuPaul: Her Majesty done already done had herses.
Hello, guvnah.
all: Hello!
- Is your spoonful of sugar half-empty?
Does your chimney need sweeping?
Is your ego superfragilistic?
Ooh, Mary, do I have just the thing for you!
- Ooh! What could it be?
- Smells like a musical to me, kids.
- It does. Absolutely.
- Hello, hello, hello.
[overlapping chatter]
Ladies.
You know, education is the cornerstone of a free society.
So today, I want you to school the children
in the classic art of throwing shade.
- Yeah!
- In the great tradition of the legendary documentary
"Paris Is Burning,"
the British library is about to open, officially.
all: Yeah!
- Because reading is what?
all: Fundamental!
- That's right. [laughs]
#DragRaceUK.
- Honey, I've got my library card,
and I'm ready to read these bitches to filth.
RuPaul: First up, Cheddar Gorgeous.
all: Ooh!
- Assume the position, dahling.
- Me first? But I'm so nice.
- I know!
Cheddar Gorgeous, the library is open.
- Let's see, shall we?
Ooh, you all look so much better now.
[laughter]
Dakota Schiffer.
Pretty is not an excuse. Put some makeup on, bitch.
[laughter]
Black Peppa.
Such beauty, such elegance.
But don't get too close, 'cause you'll see maybe it's Cracked Peppa.
all: Ooh!
- And Le Fil. Where's Le Fil?
I can't quite make Le Fil out.
She's sort of fading into the background.
I'm so sorry.
- Dakota Schiffer.
- Hello, girl.
- You are blonde. You are beautiful.
And you have legs almost as long as you make conversations feel.
[laughter]
- Oh, my God!
Absolutely qualified to say that about me,
'cause I do talk for England.
- Pixie Polite.
You know, last week, you spoke about being a runner-up
for the improv challenge.
But what you'll always have is the best tits in drag.
Next to Danny Beard out of drag.
- Black Peppa, I'd ask if your barbecue is canceled,
but with that grill, no one's coming.
Cheddar Gorgeous.
Of, if we're naming her after her age and her smell,
Aged Blue Stilton Gorgeous.
- Next!
- Hands up. Say hey, baby.
And wear some clothes next time on the runway.
all: Ooh!
- Danny Beard.
You know, I know you love Marmite, but stop using it
as your foundation color.
- Cheddar Gorgeous.
Much like the famous Cheddar Gorge,
you, too, have a face that is rough,
and many men have climbed up on it.
- Rough-textured? I'm smooth.
I'm like a very sexy dolphin.
[imitates dolphin wail]
- Le Fil.
Your long, luscious hair, I think it's become a trademark of yours.
I just really wonder how you get it to come out
of your nostrils like that.
- How rude!
- J Blonde, you are so old, your first gig was chasing
the snakes out of Ireland.
- That's a good one.
Good on you, Pixie, you little bitch.
- Baby.
Hmm.
I'm pro-choice.
[laughter]
- Oh!
- My lovely Julian.
I mean, sorry, Jonathan.
I mean, no, Jon.
Jonbers Blonde-- no, Mr. Smithers in a dress.
Baby Baby. She's always loose.
And ready for anything.
Except for a high-waisted leotard.
Do you fancy a razor for your pubes?
[laughter]
- On the runway, they were trimmed, okay?
I didn't know we were gonna be naked that day.
I'm trying. I'm human.
- Well done, Le Fil.
- Dakota, my little baby girl.
Now, it's nice that "Drag Race" has embraced trans icons.
And now it's nice that people can see
a bit of trans mediocrity.
If two badges is trans mediocrity,
I'm proud to be serving it.
- Pixie Polite.
You are famous for shagging Tia Kofi from the telly.
What a shame that charisma isn't sexually transmittable.
- Okay, here we go.
Cheddar Gorgeous.
Cheddar is so old, she was the first drag queen
to throw a brick at Stone--
Henge.
- Thank you, early Elton John.
- Pleasure, dahling.
Danny Beard.
Did you know that Danny Beard is an anagram
for shut the fuck up?
- Well done! - Well done, J Blonde.
- Well, the library is officially closed--officially.
And the winner of today's mini challenge is...
Pixie Polite.
- Yay.
Thank you. Thank you.
[singing] Thrilled!
I think I've completely slaughtered them all, to be honest.
- So, ladyquins, live theater
can make or break a performer's charisma,
uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
So for this week's maxi challenge,
you'll be starring in the unauthorized she-quel
to a beloved family classic,
"Lairy Poppins: The Rusical."
[cheers and applause]
It's the twisted tale of Mary's evil twin, Lairy Poppins,
a nanny who is practically imperfect in every way.
And to help you feel your West End windy fantasy,
you'll be singing live.
- Oh, no!
- Yes.
- Yeah!
- Oh, no! I have to sing live!
I can't even speak, let alone sing. Help me!
- Now, Pixie, as the winner of today's mini challenge,
you get to assign all the roles.
- Ooh!
- Now, later today, you'll have vocal coaching
with Michelle "The Voice" Visage.
all: Yes!
- Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[cheers and applause]
- I love singing live.
I love the risk.
I love the danger.
And I love not knowing what's gonna happen
when I open my mouth. [coughs]
- All right, ladies.
We have the season four Rusical.
all: Yes!
- Oh, my goodness.
- Are you next excited, Dakota?
- I hate musicals.
- What? - Get out.
- And I've never watched "Mary Poppins."
- Give me your drag card. - No!
Cheddar: You're a drag queen!
How can you not like musicals?
That's like not liking kittens or something.
- Shall we all have a listen and see what we think?
I have the power to assign the roles this week,
and it offers me a very unique opportunity
because I could
be a shady little bitch and, you know,
pop these girls in roles that they don't want.
- Yes! - It's camp.
- This is naughty.
Pixie: But I'm gonna see how this plays out,
see what people want, and see how I feel.
Okay, characters.
OG Mary.
She is original, family-friendly nanny
with a cut-glass British accent.
Le Fil: I would love to tackle OG Mary,
'cause she's too prim and perfect but needs to loosen up,
and I feel like that's quite fitting.
I want a leading role that I can show Ru
all the different things that I've learned from last week's comments.
- Fil, you are OG Mary.
Okay, Lick Van Dick.
Oh, look, it's everyone's favorite cockney bin lady, Lick Van Dick.
A Jack of all trades and proper salt of the earth.
- I can play Lick Van Dick.
- I think Danny would be really good at that.
- I would consider myself more of a Jane McDonald
than a Julie Andrews.
And that is purely because I, too, love cruising.
- The Bird Lady.
This old bird is quite literally an old bird.
- At this point in the competition, I need to make myself known.
I need to lay my eggs in this basket.
I need this role.
I would like the Bird Lady.
It's about what's best for the thing.
It's not just about putting people's hands up
and saying, "I want this role," you know what I mean?
- It's about what's gonna make this the fucking most iconic Rusical.
Pixie: Jonbers wants to stand out.
And, do you know what,
I'm gonna trust her that she can do it.
Jonbers is the Bird Lady.
- Caw-caw!
- Mutha Prude.
She's rich, powerful, and stressed AF.
- I really think Mutha Prude's, like, right up my street.
I feel like I'd nail that.
- Okay, okay.
- Coming straight into a Rusical is the perfect cure
for these baby blues that I've got, girl.
It is lifting me up, and I'm going, "I can do this. This is perfect."
- The Prude Twins.
They're sugar, spice, and everything nice, the apple of their mother's eye.
- I do think the kids, for me, personally,
would be quite an obvious choice.
And I don't want the kids. - Okay.
Dakota: I don't want the kids.
If I'm going to do well in this challenge,
I need to throw myself at something.
- Okay. - And I'm--I want Rochelle La Roach.
- Rochelle La Roach.
Rochelle is the head waitress at Binland.
She's French, but she's also a cockroach.
- I love Rochelle.
And I do often look a bit like an insect.
I'm really into the cockroach.
They can survive in the vacuum of space.
It is just gonna be Cher and some cockroaches
at the end of the world.
We know that.
- Can we hear everyone's French accent
who wants to do Rochelle?
- Dakota, speak up. Let's do the French.
- [in French accent] Rochelle is the head waitress at Binland.
It is only accessible to those in the know.
[speaking normally] No?
- Has Dakota ever been to France?
- [in French accent] Rochelle is the head waitress at Binland,
a magical but trashy hot spot that literally comes alive at night
and is only accessible to those in the know.
- She's just general European. - Yes!
- I'm a generic European. Baby: Yes, bitch!
- I think it's quite clear who Rochelle can be right now.
- Yeah. - Cheddar, you're gonna be Rochelle.
- [in French accent] Oh!
Big C, with this Rochelle, you're really spoiling us.
Hon-hon-hon-hon-hon!
- Okay, the twins.
Peppa and Dakota.
Is that okay? Is everyone happy?
I'm sorry if you're not.
Dakota, you do not look happy with it.
- If you did really want Rochelle, like, you could have it.
- No, I'm--your French accent blew me out the water.
- Yeah, it did. - So.
I don't know.
I feel like doing the twins is a death sentence for me.
- So, what would you be confident with?
What do you need right now?
- I don't know.
There's no role that I feel massively optimistic about, to be honest.
When we listened to it, I was like, okay,
I'm probably gonna be the twins.
But that's why I was like, oh, people are gonna
expect me to be the twins, and that's fine.
- If you can do the twins well, then--?
- But you do want to do-- do you want to do the twins?
- Okay. I'll do the twins.
I am not feeling supercalifragilisticexp--
whatever it is, I'm not feeling it. [laughs]
- Pixie, does that make you Lairy Poppins?
Yeah, I'll do--yeah, I'll do Lairy. - You're gonna be Lairy? That's camp.
- Got a bit flustered picking the roles.
Let's smash this Rusical, girls! all: Yes!
- But acting, singing, and dancing all at the same time,
piece of cake.
And I love a piece of cake.
[upbeat music]
- [speaking French]
- Oh, hello, there, Cheddar. - Is Cheddar having a meltdown?
- You're just in time for dinner.
Je m'appelle Rochelle La Roach.
- She's definitely Divina de Campo-ing, isn't she?
[laughter]
- Well, the twins are a small singing role.
But they are on the stage for the whole thing.
- Yeah. Exactly. - So, I'm not gonna be that girl
that's upset she didn't get the part she wanted, 'cause honestly,
I was trying to bid for the bigger parts,
but I knew if I got them that I probably would have been
stressed about that as well. - Yeah.
- When am I not stressed?
- Because we're working together and we're twins,
I am really depending on her to not be in a bad headspace,
because if she is in a bad headspace,
that's gonna affect me.
I know it's not the role you probably wanted.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- But let's go into this with a fresh mind and just,
like, slay it.
- I'm trying to get out my head and, you know, get over--
- Get out of that head, girl.
You'll be fine. Dakota: Absolutely. Absolutely.
- Come on, Dakota, girl. Let's do it.
[upbeat music]
- I'm sat there listening to the track
that I'm going to be doing.
And then I realize, Lairy Poppins is not the part I thought it was.
And I'm worried.
I feel like I might have shot myself in the foot a bit
by choosing this part.
Because I was just far too concerned with making everyone else happy.
I didn't look through the parts well enough.
- This is Pixie to a T, innit?
She's so concerned about making sure the show is right
and everyone fits their own role,
she's forgot to fucking sort herself out.
Would you be happier if we swapped?
- You don't want to do yours.
- They're both similar, but would you be happier
with, like...?
Pixie doesn't want to do her role.
I look over Lairy, and I think, you know what,
I'll give it a whack.
- I think that...
- What would you be happiest doing?
- I think I'd prefer to swap.
- 'Cause I can do either of them, honest.
- I think I'd like to swap.
The Lick Van Dick part is very me.
So we're gonna swap parts, and we're gonna smash this Rusical.
Thank you.
- No need to thank me.
- Hello. all: Hi!
- Now it's time for our vocal coaching session
with the gorgeous Michelle Visage.
- Hey, Marys.
all: Hi!
- Say hello to me old china, Dane Chalfin.
all: Hi!
Dane: Hi, queens.
Michelle: We're gonna start with Dakota and Black Peppa.
- I need all the help I can get right now.
Yes, okay, I cannot sing.
Don't book me to sing.
- Here we go.
- [singing] Expensive but it's a la carte
Served up by this roachy tart
- [singing] We should rob the bank to pay for lunch
- All right.
- Just remember, Lairy has just taken you out
and filled you full of sugar.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- So lean into that.
- Dakota, don't worry about being beautiful just for two seconds.
- [laughing] Oh, my God.
- This is your moment to be like, "Ahh!"
Dakota: I think my fear of looking silly
is making me feel apprehensive about this musical.
I've got to get through this.
Michelle: Baby.
- I'm playing Mutha Prude.
- Let's just try running it.
- Okay.
- Hit it.
- [singing] I'm filthy rich
But I want more cash
- Cash.
- [singing] I refuse to live like the lower class
- Cut.
I think the thing about this track in particular is,
you know what you're channeling.
You're doing Britney. - Yes.
- If you just put a little creak in there...
[both imitating vocal creak]
- [singing] Attend a yoga class
- Uh-huh. Baby: Yeah?
- When you start there, you have a place to build.
- Cool. Michelle: Danny Beard.
- Hi, honey bun.
- You're Lairy.
You are made for this role.
Hit it.
[whimsical music]
- Eat it!
[laughter]
I've barely had two seconds with this new character.
I don't know me ass from me elbow.
[singing] Give into destruction and let me be blunt
Your tragic lives you--
Just a big gobful--
It's a fucking disaster.
- You need to Danny Beard the fuck out of this song.
- Yeah, I will. - Just be that character.
- I see myself as a horny French cockroach waitress.
- And I don't mind partying with a cockroach.
both: [singing] Salmonella's here in this rotten produce
Here in this rotten produce
- Pixie. - Yes.
- Get in your confidence. - Yeah.
- Listen to me when I tell you,
you can do this, and you have what it takes.
You're there. - Okay.
both: [singing] Drink bin juice, please
- Drink - Bin juice
- [singing] Drink bin juice, please
Drink bin juice
- Drink bin--oh.
Drink bin juice, please
Drink bin juice
- Drink bin juice, please
Drink bin juice
- Drink bin juice
Oh.
Michelle: It's okay.
Pixie: I'm stood there in front of Michelle,
and suddenly I think that I've never sung a day in my life.
- Pixie, listen to me right now.
You don't need to freak out.
- I know.
Michelle: You're gonna get it.
Sometimes it just takes a little bit.
- We all know I can do this, so I just need to do it.
- You are gonna be the Bird Lady.
So I say, to start, we hear what you can do actually vocally.
- [singing] Peck me
Stuff me
Just do as you like
Caw-caw! Caw-caw!
- Cut.
So there was not a semblance of a pitch in that.
- Right.
- Jonbers wants to stand out.
I get it.
But this is a role with a big vocal.
I think if she can do a parrot--
Shadap!
She might be all right.
- If I were you, I would Dita Von Teese this.
- Okay.
[singing] Pluck me, pluck me
I swear I won't bite [laughter]
Ooh...
all: Yeah!
- Today, I'm not the shittest.
Thank you.
- Okay, Le Fil.
- I'm playing the... [in cockney accent] OG Mary.
- This is the big final number.
Want to try it? all: Yes.
Michelle: All right. - Let's do it.
- [singing] Todger, titty, knockers, willy, bum--oh!
- Um.
It's almost like the song is a journey
where you're realizing that you're--
"Oh! Ooh!"
You're having so much fun. - Yeah.
I think I've got a lot to do, and I'm just gonna
try and hit every todger.
all: [singing] Bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum
- Now we all are friends again
And Mummy's not so cranky
Okay.
- Baby, your timing was a little bit out.
- I'm seeing how strong everyone's getting.
I'm thinking, if everyone else around me
is doing really strong,
does that mean that I'm the weak one?
- All of us here need personality even more than vocals.
Just when you think it's too big, trust me, it isn't.
- And now I'm worried that my dance ability
and my performance chops aren't enough
to carry me through this.
- Okay, so with your vocals down, it's time for choreography.
Please welcome my one-time dance partner,
the reigning "Strictly" champion, Giovanni Pernice.
[cheers and applause]
- Hello, queens. Michelle.
- Gio!
- Ah, I don't miss you. [both laugh]
- Ooh, delicious. He's tasty.
- Byeee!
all: Byeee!
- This is so exciting that Gio's here.
He can put together a good routine.
We're in very safe, Italian hands here.
- Right, so the first part of this routine
is gonna be a box step. - Yeah.
- So we're gonna go one, two, three, four.
From there, we go two steps forward,
and we go right, left, right, left.
Okay? - Which foot crosses?
This-- - Right leg.
- One, two. - Left.
- Oh, my God. - I'll show again.
- I'm just so in my head that I'm missing the steps.
- Side, close, forward, close.
- I'm so--all right. Okay.
- It's okay. - Yeah.
Honestly, I just want to get off that stage as quickly as possible
then hide in a corner.
- One. Two.
- Step out. - Out.
- Right, like that. - Three. Together.
- Yeah.
Black Peppa: Dakota is not happy right now, and I'm like,
I know you hate musicals, but I hated the design challenge.
Did I let my partner suffer because of it?
No, I didn't.
- Really, really focus on the cut of it, yeah?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Just pull yourself together, girl.
- So on this section, we got the kids.
We got Lairy.
Okay, we go right, left, right, left.
- Love, can you just look at these feet? - Pardon?
- 'Cause they're going separate to the body.
- Are you from Liverpool? - Yeah.
- I love the accent. - Do ya?
- Yeah. I do. - I love yours.
I think Giovanni's worried about me.
- Five, six, seven, eight.
- Have I gone the wrong way? - Yes, you have. Show you again.
- Because I think he's looking at me thinking,
Danny: "Is the 'Strictly' curse becoming a 'Drag Race' curse?"
- What are you struggling with?
- I hate dancing.
I move like a sack of shit.
- No, you don't. You look good.
- Thank you. Giovanni: Try again.
[laughter]
Danny: He's looking at me like he wants me.
I didn't know he was a chubby chaser, but listen, if he is,
I'll run.
- And then the next part will be the same step, but faster.
- I used to like you from the telly, you know, love.
[laughter]
Giovanni: Lick Van Dick and Rochelle,
you will have a fantastic entrance.
- It has been said before.
Having to move to a song with expectations
of putting your body in the correct place,
it's not my thing.
- One, two, three, and four.
Five, six, link.
Link with him. - Sorry.
I was just making through-- sure I get through all of the bits.
- One, two, three, and four. No.
Forward, side, forward, up, down.
Yeah? - Not a clue.
- From the way Cheddar is moving,
she's been drinking bin juice all evening.
- That's complicated.
- The Bird Lady--in the mind, she's hot, she's beautiful.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- But realistically, she's not.
- Great. That's exactly who I am.
- No.
I want you to show me what you would do personally.
- Okay.
[singing] In the night as I count up my crusts
- Be more desperate.
- [singing] Every night
- Show me why you're sexy.
Better.
Jonbers: I am just channeling that despair,
that desperation for a badge.
Somebody give me a badge!
It's week five. Come on!
- OG Mary, it's your time to shine.
- Amazing.
- Okay, so, as much as you can.
I want to see what you can do as well. - Okay, cool.
- I want you to be over the top.
- Cool.
If I wanted a challenge, I think I definitely got that this week.
[vocalizing]
- Yeah. - Okay.
I have to be able to sort of figure out different ways
to be able to bring this character to life.
[vocalizing]
- Yes. Lovely. You get it.
- So not gonna lie, I'm a bit stressed,
'cause I don't want to be in that bottom three again.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- I think you all will be all right.
I believe in you. Confidence.
- So confident, yeah.
- You ready? - I'm ready, yeah. I feel great.
- So now, you go and practice.
Yes? - Mm-hmm.
- Good luck. all: Thank you.
- Bye, ladies. all: Bye.
- I am excited for tomorrow. Bring it on!
- I'm never watching "Strictly" ever again.
- I love you, too. - Love you, babe.
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
- Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!
- It's elimination day, but before all of that...
- Pow! Wah!
- We have to make our debut
in "Lairy Poppins: The Unauthorized Rusical."
- I've forgotten what birds look like.
- To be honest, your contour's quite angular anyway.
- I didn't buy my cheekbones.
- "I didn't buy mine. These are what I was born with."
- You're a fucking liar.
[laughter]
- Do you guys have any, like, pre-show rituals?
- The entire makeup process itself is kind of, like,
a bit of a ritual for me. - Yes.
- I always just have it silent when I'm getting ready.
- Apart from when you have to get ready at the back of a bus or something.
- Oh, girl, I hate it.
- Whenever they say, "Just follow me to your dressing room,"
and then I see the seat of a toilet.
- Girl, please. - Nah.
- The amount of times that's happened to me, like, distress.
- Most of the times when I get ready,
it's always in, like, a room by myself.
It's actually really nice sort of hanging out
with you all doing it, 'cause it's very rare, actually.
Also, there's more people to borrow stuff from.
- There you go.
- Well, this bird is ready to squawk and perform.
Caw-caw!
all: Caw-caw!
- Getting this role meant so much to me.
I'm ready to show them what I'm made of.
[dramatic music]
Black Peppa: To win that badge, I just have to make sure
that I am literally having my A game.
I have to sing live. I have to dance live.
And I have to make sure these bitches here don't upstage me.
Dakota: I do not have any experience doing anything like this before.
I just want to do well.
- This is serious.
This is the Rusical.
- Caw-caw!
[upbeat music]
RuPaul: [singing] Cover girl!
Put the bass in your walk
Head to toe, let your whole body talk
[applause]
And what?
Welcome to the main stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK."
My fair lady, Michelle Visage.
- Fair? Always.
A lady? Eh...
[laughter]
- The super spexy Alan Carr.
Alan, don't you love an opening night?
- Oh, I'll take an opening whenever I can find one,
do you know what I'm saying, Ru?
Do you know what I'm saying?
- I've heard.
Goddess of stage and screen Hannah Waddingham.
Hello.
- Goddess Ru!
- Welcome to the show.
- I am so excited to be here.
It's honestly a dream to see a Rusical.
- Aw, well, just a reminder, tickets are nonrefundable.
[laughter]
This week, we challenged our queens
to bring the story of Lairy Poppins to life
in an all-singing, all-dancing Rusical.
And tonight on the runway, category is West End Wonders.
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
"RuPaul's Drag Race UK" proudly presents the world premier of
"Lairy Poppins: The Unauthorized Rusical: Live."
[jaunty music]
- [singing] Up on the rooftops, I've a story for you
You folks here ain't heard it, 'cause this one is new
all: [singing] Lairy is lurking, Mary ain't got a clue
- Old Lairy Poppins, he's coming for you
- [screams]
[spooky laughter]
- He's got ya now, Mary
all: What a to-do
- Mummy, we've been studying for the last 18 hours.
- Well, practice makes perfect, Michaela.
Now, where the hell is your nanny Mary?
- Mummy, why can't we just have a little fun?
You know, like normal children?
- Silence!
Fun does not pay the bills.
[upbeat music]
[singing] Attend a yoga class
Fancy a hot ass
Premiere travel, first-class
It's gonna cost, kids
Organic quinoa
The finest caviar
Maybe foie gras
It don't come free, kids
I'm filthy rich
But I want more cash
I refuse to live like the lower class
They tried to tax my second house in France
Life's a bitch for the upper class
both: It's a bitch, it's a bitch, it's a bitch
- It's gonna cost, kids
Mummy's stressed, kids
Get out of my face, kids
Where's your nanny, kids?
It's all my fault
Your father ran off with his cheap secretary
But here we are
Now I'm stuck slumming it
We're actually having to work at that stupid place!
singer: It don't come free, kids
Toodle pips, sweetie darlings.
- Mummy's such a fun sponge.
- I wish we could have just one night of freedom.
[ominous music]
- Look! A kite!
- What does it say?
both: Lairy Poppins.
Lairy Poppins.
Lairy Poppins!
[thunder crashes]
- You called?
[cackling]
Hello, you little prudes.
There's a new nanny in town.
Mary's a little tied up at the moment.
And I'm here to show you a real bad time.
both: Jeepers creepers!
[jaunty music]
- [singing] Just a big old gob full of chaos is what you kids need
Eat it!
[singing] Sugary candy
Gums will recede
Give in to temptation and let me be blunt
Ditch your tragic lives, you runts
both: Oh, golly gosh!
Nanny Mary never let us eat refined sugar!
- Shut up!
Get your gob around that, kids!
And eat it! Eat it!
I said eat it!
[upbeat music]
both: Wow!
We feel alive!
- Well, the night's only just getting started.
Plip plop. [spits]
Come on. The night's young.
[jaunty music]
- Coo-ee.
- What is that?
- That?
That's the old Bird Woman.
She been selling her wares on this street corner for years.
- Caw-Caw! Coo! [coughing]
[quirky music]
[singing] Late in the night, as I count up my crusts
Just another shift without no rest
A painted-on beak as I puff out my chest [coos]
Just a tuppence to visit my nest
Shake my tailfeathers morning and night
Pluck me
Pluck me!
I swear I won't bite
This old flapper is yours to excite
Peck me
Stuff me
Just do what you like
A-ha! Kissy, kissy.
Coo coo!
- Go on, shoo, you old bird!
- [squawking] - Shoo! Shoo!
[belches]
- 'Ello, guvnah!
My name's Lick Van Dick,
the best bin lady in all of London.
Fancy joining me on a trip to somewhere proper today?
both: Yes!
- All right, kids.
You hold on to Dick.
Are you ready?
One, two, three!
[groaning]
[whimsical music]
Welcome to Binland, London's grimiest hot spot.
- Bonjour.
You're just in time for dinner.
Je m'appelle Rochelle Le Cockroach. [purrs]
[singing] Drink bin juice, drink bin juice
Your tongues will be seduced
Old fish bones, banana skins
Trash dripping down your chins
Slime galore
J'adore
Swallow down, I'll give you more
Yummy bacteria multiplying
Here's E.coli, satisfying
both: Wow!
both: [singing] Gobble up
Shove it down
Guzzle bin juice, you'll never drown
Salmonella's here in this rotten produce
Gorge on this steaming garbage
Sauce la dump's your garnish
Drink bin juice, please
Drink bin juice
Drink bin juice!
- This bin juice is lit AF!
- I'm feeling... [gulps]
Wavy.
- And now, the bill.
Voila. [slide whistle, clang]
- Well, I ain't got any money. [belches]
Kids, any ideas?
- I know where we can get some money.
both: Our mummy!
[jaunty music]
- [singing] Expensive, but it's a la carte
Served up by this roachy tarte
both: We should rob the bank to pay for luncheon
They've got all the money there
We'll steal the lot 'cause we don't care
Time to rob the bank
Here we go, so wish us luck
'Cause we don't give a flying--
- Children!
[grunting]
You should be ashamed of yourselves!
And as for you, Lairy Poppins.
- [belches, cans clang]
- The time has come for you to sashay away.
And that means "walk away" in the future. [chuckles]
This is a family Rusical.
[exciting music]
[singing] I'm just ubermad
I hate the way this franchise lost its focus
The cast is full of morons
Unsightly and ferocious
Starring in this Rusical is giving me psychosis
It's shocking just how bad it is
The plotline is atrocious!
- [coos] Chill out, nanny Mary!
- How do you expect me to be calm
with all these filthy potty mouths?
- Oh, mon cheri, surely it is good to be
a little dirty sometimes, no? [giggles]
- Well, I guess I could try.
[quirky music]
[singing] Todger, titty
Knockers, willy
Bumhole, spunky booby
Hanky panky, any hole's a goal
Stiffy wiffy, hairy badger
Boy, I'm on a roll
Up your bum, no babies, like a stripper on a pole
all: Yum yum, willy, yum yum
Yum yum, willy, ay
Bum bum, willy, bum bum
Bum bum, willy, ay
Bum bum bum bum bum
- Now we all are friends again
Mummy's no longer cranky
- Instead of playing by the rules
It pays to be quite janky all: Bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
The moral of the story is, let's put it very frankly
- And take this umbrella and shove it up your ass!
[dramatic music]
[laughter and applause]
- Bravo!
- "Lairy Poppins: The Rusical" is now available
on all major platforms worldwide.
[singing] Can you feel the love?
Category is West End Wonders.
Up first, Pixie Polite.
Alan: "Hairspray," hair slay.
- "Hairspray" is a musical that has always really spoken to me.
The character of Tracy Turnblad, I've always found really inspirational.
Hannah: Oh! Michelle: Ooh!
Alan: Oh!
Pixie: For her self-belief, her body positivity,
her fight for what is right.
- What a tease.
- I'm giving you full camp on the runway,
doing my little cheesy dance moves,
and just feeling glorious.
- Shake the booty.
- She's such an aerosol.
RuPaul: Up next, J Blonde.
That's right, bitch. Make it rain.
Jonbers: I'm paying homage to one of my favorite musicals
of all time, "Singing in the Rain."
- Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
- This is my Dior couture fantasy.
I'm ready to play some watersports in this look.
- I'm definitely experiencing a damp patch.
[laughter]
RuPaul: Black Peppa.
Hakuna matata? I hardly know her.
Black Peppa: Now, I love "Lion King," and I'm gonna do it justice.
I want, when you look at me, you think,
"Jesus, you just came straight out of the West End."
- Nala Nala bill, y'all.
- I am embodying a lion, and I am wearing
the skin of my enemies.
I am wearing Jonbers.
I am wearing Dakota.
I am wearing Danny.
I'm devouring them all.
Alan: I can see her watering hole.
RuPaul: Dakota Schiffer.
Michelle: "Funny Girl"? I don't think so.
Pretty girl? Yes.
Hannah: So beautiful.
Dakota: I'm giving you an interpretation of Barbara Streisand in "Funny Girl."
See, I don't hate all musicals. [laughs]
- She's got nothing to be guilty of.
- This hair is one of my favorites.
It's very classic Dakota '60s glamor.
- Nobody's gonna rain on her parade.
RuPaul: Cheddar Gorgeous.
Cheddar: "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is my favorite musical.
It is the reason I do drag.
- Michelle, how's your Hedwig?
Michelle: I've had many complaints.
[laughter]
- I am wearing a torn denim jumpsuit
featuring beautiful handmade patches, red rhinestones,
and I also have an amazing set of Isis wings,
upon which is written the quote from the film,
"Deny me and be doomed."
RuPaul: Angry Inch?
I'd settle for a disgruntled centimeter.
Next, Le Fil.
- Shall we drag?
- I love "The King and I," because it is about
the marriage of two cultures and how one can learn from each other.
It's got a special place in my heart.
RuPaul: Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Le Fil: I'm serving you a femme king.
I've got my decadent jewels all over my face.
This look is luxury, it's regal, and it's divine.
[upbeat music]
- Ooh.
I could have minced all night.
RuPaul: Up next, Baby.
Baby: I am giving "& Juliet."
This is the first time a Black woman
has played the role of Juliet in a West End stage,
and I want to pay homage to that in the most beautiful way that I can.
- She don't need no Romeo.
- I have my amazing frohawk.
I have this patchwork denim sleeves.
I am giving West End realness.
- Oh, no you Capulet-a don't.
RuPaul: Up next, oh, Danny Beard.
Danny: I am paying homage to "The Little Shop of Horrors."
And honey, you ain't never seen drag this camp.
This is even camp for me.
Hannah: Uh-oh, she soiled herself.
Danny: The headpiece is also a puppet.
Everybody loves puppets.
- [as Audrey II] Hello.
Danny: I am one hungry plant.
Feed me some fertilizer, bitch.
Alan: I think he's on pot.
Hannah: Oh, man.
[dramatic music]
- Welcome, ladies.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Black Peppa.
[upbeat music]
Cheddar Gorgeous.
Ladies, you are both safe.
You may leave the stage.
Ladies, you represent the tops and the bottoms of the week.
Now, it's time for the judges' critiques.
First up, Pixie Polite.
- The difficult thing about judging you all tonight
is that truly, nobody was supercalifragilisticexpial-atroc ious.
Thank you.
- Oh, dear.
- Pixie, I was worried about you the most,
because in rehearsals, you were spiraling down a well
with nobody to rescue you.
And I think you ended up kicking ass.
- I can't believe you had a crisis of confidence.
I thought you were so amazing up there.
I loved your Dick.
It was the right length.
I wanted more of it.
I was gagging for it.
Loved it. - Thank you, Alan.
- You are utterly delicious.
And it is also not an easy thing to go first
and set the tone, and you did.
- Tonight, on the runway-- you know, Tracy Turnblad is iconic,
and you had the whole attitude.
That's what we need when we think of Tracy.
And you brought it tonight.
- Thank you so much.
- You can't go back. - No.
- You gotta stop with that bullshit.
This is not the place for it. - No.
- Thank you, Pixie.
- Thank you.
- Up next... [in French accent] Jonbers Blonde.
- Hiya, love.
- What a challenge to be half-woman, half-bird,
and make it funny and realistic,
and then halfway through it, yell, "Go pluck yourself," and you did.
It was great.
- I just think you are absolutely
devastatingly watchable.
And I'm totally stealing "Coo-ee!"
I loved it!
I was like, "Remember that one."
- This look, I know you're going for avant-garde,
but I think I have an issue with one flat cage,
one poofy cage, so it looks to me like it was made incorrectly.
But all in all, very strong night for you.
- Your makeup looks gorgeous tonight.
You don't have the biggest lips in the world.
And you've shifted the focus in your makeup,
and your lips look bigger.
You look gorgeous.
- Thank you so much.
And Hannah, I'll have 20% of that "coo-ee!" thank you.
- Up next, Dakota Schiffer.
- Hi, Dakota.
With your performance, I thought there was a hesitancy there.
Didn't feel very present.
And I think you would have got away with it,
but the trouble is, Black Peppa was throwing everything,
including the kitchen sink, at it.
- Tonight, this is so beautiful.
"Funny Girl." I love the hair.
I love the dress.
I love the idea.
You are beautiful.
- Thank you.
- You are, for me, far less "Funny Girl"
and more ridiculously be-yow-tiful girl.
- Thank you.
- I thought you were wonderful.
It just wasn't as good as the others.
But you have a great future in music theater.
Have you done music theater?
- I actually hate musicals.
[RuPaul gasps dramatically] So, like, it was quite kind of--
sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry to every-- every theater gay watching at home.
I apologize.
- Thank you.
Up next, Le Fil.
- Dance, sing, and do that staccato machine-gun delivery
of all those naughty words, and not miss a word or fluff.
- I think that you did pretty well.
I don't think you could have taken it as far
as you could have taken it.
In theater, you literally have to lay it all on the line.
This, I love "The King and I."
It's just beautiful.
Alan: The intricacy and the detailing just marvelous.
Can I have look more at...? - Of course. Anytime.
- Look at that. It's insane.
Yeah, it's just wonderful.
- Just utterly charming.
- Thank you.
- In the Rusical, you were fantastic,
but we're splitting hairs here.
I wanted your own personal stamp on it.
Up next, Baby. - Hey.
- First, let's talk about your performance.
Do you know what, you still looked a little bit nervous.
- I do want to say you had incredible energy.
I loved--I felt it.
The pacing in the song was fantastic.
I love watching you onstage.
But I was starting to lose you, and I don't want to lose you onstage.
- Thank you.
- This--I love "& Juliet."
It's such an incredible musical.
And this is, like, your version.
But I want to take a moment to say that makeup is gorgeous.
- Thank you. - Keep doing it.
- Thank you.
- Hi, Baby.
- Hi.
- I want you to feel really good about yourself.
'Cause I feel like you don't feel it at the moment.
- [voice breaking] I've just been struggling a lot.
- Oh, love.
- Like, mentally being here.
But I have, like, anxiety, and I've kind of just been, like,
really trying to dig myself out of that really badly.
But I'm just, I'm having a bit of a tough time.
I know that I'm capable of doing this, and it's just,
it's so annoying.
- You are. You are. You're excellent.
You clearly have what it takes.
I've been in this seat for many, many years,
and I've seen a lot of girls express the exact same emotion.
It's not easy.
I've found, over the years, that I've had to make friends with my saboteur.
It comes rearing its ugly head, and I have to say,
"Hey, girl, what's up?
Oh, you're here again."
And said, "Okay, I hear you, but I'm gonna do this over here."
- Yeah.
- Because it doesn't go away.
That make sense? - Yeah, it does.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Up next... [singing] Oh, Danny Beard
- Hi.
- What can I say about your performance
during "Lairy Poppins"?
You wanted a spoonful of sugar.
It was so OTT.
You gave us a bucket full of ham.
[laughter]
- I kind of told you to just go full Danny Beard on them,
and you did.
And it worked.
Just couldn't stop watching you.
And then of course, you know, West End Wonders,
you choose Audrey II.
So perfectly suited for you.
That's another level, that costume.
Really strong night for you, Danny.
- You are an utter, utter, out-and-out pro.
And you alone have been worth my visit.
- Wow. High praise.
- Thank you so much. RuPaul: You had that thing.
'Cause yes, there was what was written on the script,
but you brought something else to it that was so magical,
that--it's what stars do.
- Thank you. Honestly, all of you. Thank you.
- All right, 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.
[dramatic music]
- I'm really glad to be safe.
But, you know, I feel like I worked hard this week,
and so it's frustrating to think that that wasn't enough.
- For me, who is a dancer, dancing and singing at the same time,
I just found that so challenging.
- Same.
- I'm just happy I'm not in the bottom.
- Ooh!
- Dear God.
- Can you fit through this door, you silly cow?
- Can you fit through the door, you silly cow?
- We are back and untucked.
And you know what, I'm over the moon.
But this is gonna be a close one.
- So how did it go?
Everyone seems really somber at the moment.
- They were really complimentary of everyone.
It's just hard when it feels like I gave everything
and it still wasn't enough. Cheddar: But they did--
- What did they say?
- They said that it would come down
to, like, the tiniest things.
- And I appreciate that, and it's nice, but it still means two people
are gonna be in the bottom two, and I got the worst critiques.
It was so out of my comfort zone.
You know, you can be proud of yourself for accomplishing something,
and when that's still not enough, that is a hard reality
to try and digest.
- They also said that you were gonna have a musical career,
that you were gonna be in theater.
- I don't want to be, but thank you.
I still, I hate this challenge.
I hate musicals. I hate it.
I just don't like it.
- Do you know what, I'm beginning to think that Dakota doesn't like musicals.
- Girl, that was emotional out there. What's going on?
- Mentally, I'm going through it.
It fucking sucks, because I know how talented I am,
and it's so frustrating to me that I can't hack this.
Coming into this competition, I was always worried
that I would get in my own way.
I really had to fight to become the person I am right now.
But that fight has left some scars, girl.
And right now, they're kind of showing themselves.
I'm struggling so much.
And I know that if I was to be put in that lip sync,
I'd fucking smash it, and I'd do what the fuck I need to do.
But really, I am having a tough fucking time,
and I'm just doing the best that I can to pull my shit together.
- Talk to us.
We want to help each other, and we want to help you.
You're a fucking star.
- Baby's been struggling.
And genuinely, we care about one another.
Competition is one thing.
But your sisterhood is another.
- Fil, babe, how are you feeling?
- I'm feeling really mixed about the whole thing.
Like, I put loads of pressure on myself from last week
to try and, like, be so much better,
to not be feeling in this position, kind of, like,
possibly going home again.
It's a really weird feeling, given the fact that
I did really well, but still might possibly be in the bottom two.
Just goes to show how strong this entire competition is.
- I didn't have a negative critique.
I'm really pleased.
I was a bit stressed coming off of last week.
And I do feel, now, really confident.
And, like, I could get to the end.
The last two weeks, I didn't feel like my best
was good enough, but I need to stop thinking like that.
I'm actually starting to believe in myself for the first time.
- Danny, how do you feel?
- [indistinct] It was great.
But I also--like, I know there's people here that
don't feel as good, so I don't want to sit here and be like,
"Rah rah rah."
- We also need to give you time to, like,
explain that this is probably one of the most iconic things
that's walked this runway. - Honestly.
- Eight and a half feet of pure plant daddy realness going on.
- Jonbers, how are you feeling?
- It was nice to stand up there for once
and actually get nice critiques!
all: Yes!
- Apart from RuPaul said I've got no lips.
I think everyone's surprised that I could be in
for a chance for winning this week.
Stranger things have happened, kids.
Well done, everyone.
- To Lairy Poppins!
all: To Lairy Poppins!
- Take this cocktail and shove it up your ass.
- All right, now, just between us squirrel friends,
I want to know what you think.
Let's start with Pixie Polite.
- I thought she was amazing.
And let me tell you something, that just goes to show you
that you don't need all the lines in the world.
- Immediately watchable.
She completely and utterly gives herself to the roles.
- A "Hairspray" runway look.
It was "Hairspray." No more, no less.
- Pixie was fantastic tonight.
I mean, from the moment she took the stage,
she had embodied that character.
Remarkable.
All right, let's move on to Jonbers Blonde.
- She was a revelation.
From the cooing to the self-plucking.
She was brilliant.
- And down here on all fours.
I mean, that was, like, a serious bit of art in,
what was it, 45 seconds or something?
Alan: Yeah, yeah. - Just crazy.
- And on the runway tonight, I love the idea,
but there were things that were confusing.
Like, it doesn't have to be symmetrical, but it needs to make sense.
- Didn't really work, but I like where she was going with it.
RuPaul: Now, let's move on to Dakota Schiffer.
- Was it the most dynamic of performances?
Perhaps not.
- Her role was to be a bratty teenager,
and really, anyone can be a bratty teenager.
Don't say it was a struggle, because you've got Jonbers there,
half-woman, half-pigeon.
- Pigeon. - So, come on.
There's stretching yourself, and then there's stretching yourself.
- With the runway, I mean, she is just flawlessly exquisite.
- She looked beautiful.
But Ru, we know at this point Dakota always looks beautiful.
- I'm a bit tired of the sweet.
I want a little bit of sour.
- All right, let's move on to Le Fil.
- I really can't say she didn't do a good job.
But it was slow to build for me.
- Technically amazing. Isn't it weird?
There's just something that doesn't get me in the heart.
And I feel bad thinking it, because... - No, you know, I think--
- He's obviously a hard worker and, you know--
- I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right.
- On the runway, my goodness, how amazing was this?
What an absolutely exquisite moment.
Alan: And the way he glided across the dance floor,
selling the outfit, absolutely stunning.
- Knowing how to sell that outfit
was exactly what the character needed in the Rusical.
All right, let's move on to Baby.
- Baby has what it takes.
But Baby got put in the corner tonight, and I didn't want that for her.
- I would love Baby to do a big, old high kick
layout split out of that corner,
because she doesn't need to box herself into it.
- Loved the runway look.
I loved the makeup.
I liked the fierceness.
She was striking.
- You know, nobody puts Baby in a corner except for Baby.
We've all been there.
Unfortunately, you can't let it stop you.
All right, Danny Beard.
- Oh, Danny Beard, the twinks, the twinks are calling.
[laughter]
You know, Danny was the title role,
and it was just magic what we saw tonight.
- Danny, you're a fake, and a phony,
and I wish I'd never laid eyes on you.
Not this one. Not this Danny.
My gosh, what an absolute privilege
to watch this person perform.
- Runway look was insane, mad,
everything you expect from Danny Beard.
- Tonight was a home run for our Danny Beard.
- All right, silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
[dramatic music]
Jonbers.
You are safe.
- Thank you.
- You may join the other girls.
- Thank you so much.
- Pixie Polite.
You are safe.
- Thank you very much.
- You may join the other girls.
- Thank you.
- Danny Beard.
I have three things to say.
Lairy Poppins, Lairy Poppins, Lairy Poppins.
Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.
[applause] - Another one?
- Yes, bitch!
- And the recipient of a coveted Rupita badge.
[dramatic choral music]
Wear it with pride.
You may join the other girls.
- Cheers, babes.
[applause]
Oh, my lordy.
Have I just won a badge again?
Shit's getting real, girls.
- Le Fil.
Baby.
Dakota Schiffer.
You all performed well this week, but in the Rusical,
we were missing that certain something extra.
[dramatic music]
Le Fil.
You are safe.
- Thank you so, so, so much.
- You may join the other girls.
That means Dakota, Baby,
I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
Dakota: I'm feeling obviously intimidated,
because Baby's an incredible performer.
But I've come through too much to go home now.
- 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 Sync For Your Life.
Baby: This is what I've been doing since the beginning of my career.
I know I have what it takes to turn it out.
So I've decided what I need to do.
- Good luck.
And don't fuck it up.
Ren√©e Lamb: [singing] N-n-n-n-n-n-no way
There's no way
You must agree that, baby
In all the time I've been by your side
I've never lost control, no matter how many times I knew you lied
Have my golden rule
Gotta keep my cool
Yeah, baby
You know she's gotta keep her cool
I've put up with your shh--
Like every single day
But now it's time to shh--
And listen when I say
You must think that I'm crazy
You wanna replace me
Baby, there's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way
If you thought it'd be funny to send me to a nunnery
Honey, there's no way
No way
There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way
There's no way
You got me down on my knees
Please tell me what you think I've done wrong
Been humble, been loyal
I've tried to swallow my pride all along
If you can just explain a single thing I've done
To cause you pain, I'll go
No?
You've got nothing to say?
I'm not going away
There's no way
You must think that I'm crazy
You wanna replace me?
Baby, there's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way
You made me a wife
So I'll be queen till the end of my life.
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way
No way
There's n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-
No way
There's no way
[cheers and applause]
Hannah: Yes!
- Wow.
- Yes!
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
- Can I say something?
I'm extremely grateful for being here.
But, um, I think I need to go home and take care of myself.
- I respect that.
I respect that.
- Thank you.
I fucking love you, baby.
And I did eat you up in that lip sync. I know. I know.
- You're so-- - I love you. No, I love you so much.
- Baby, I love you.
- I love you too.
- We all love you.
Take care of yourself, and remember what I told you.
- I will.
Thank you so much.
- Now, sashay away.
[applause]
- Thank you. - Love you, baby.
Love you guys.
- We love you too.
- But for the record, it would have been over
for you hos if I stayed.
Just so you know, okay? [laughter]
Love you. Thank you so much.
[upbeat music]
[applause]
I feel so relieved and so proud of myself.
I feel like everything I wanted to show here, I have.
But it's time to go.
The sisterhood in the Werk Room has been like nothing
I have ever experienced.
I know that these girls are my friends for life.
- Well, Dakota.
Shantay, you stay.
[laughter and applause]
You are safe to slay another day.
- Thank you.
- 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! RuPaul: All right!
Now let the music play.
[singing] To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon
Ain't gonna take me away
To, to, to, to the moon
Next time on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
We're gonna play Snatch Game!
all: Yeah!
- I've got a mixture of excitement and complete shit.
- It's two time Snatch Game winner, Baga Chipz!
[all screaming]
announcer: It's Strictly Come Snatch Game!
- Let's welcome AJ Odudu and Tess Daly.
- That's my type, baby.
[laughter]
Alan: You know you're meant to be critiquing, not speed dating.
You know that. - Whoo!
- I am spinning.
- Just choose someone and go for it.
- Commit.
- Please don't stress yourself out.
