- Previously on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
For this week's maxi challenge,
you'll be starring in "Lairy Poppins: The Rusical, singing live.
[cheers]
ALL: [singing] The moral of the story
is, let's put it very frankly
- Dakota Schiffer, I thought there was a hesitancy there.
- Baby.
- I love watching you onstage, but I was starting to lose you.
- I've been struggling a lot being here.
- Danny Beard.
- You are an out-and-out pro.
And you alone have been worth my visit.
- Condragulations.
You are the winner of this week's challenge.
- Another one?
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
- Can I say something?
I think I need to go home and take care of myself.
[dramatic music]
- I love you. Now, sashay away.
[music continues]
- We're back in the werkroom and obviously shocked.
- And you're through.
Got to get through.
- [sighs] Come on, you wallflower.
- Baby's gone home.
It's a lot to process all at once.
- "Hands up.
"Say, bye, Baby.
"But not for long.
Love you all."
- Bye, Baby. - Bye, Baby.
- Love you.
- It was so intimidating, going up against her,
because I know that she's such a good performer.
But I think she did the right thing.
And I'm so proud of her.
- I'm glad Baby made that decision for herself.
And I thought it was incredibly brave.
- And I don't want that one as well to take away
from anything from you from that lip sync,
because you were iconic.
- Incredible, babes!
- You deserve every bit to stay.
- Mwah! - [exhales deeply]
- Do you know what, guys?
I'm really struggling to feel any sadness.
And that's not because I'm not going to miss Baby.
But I just feel so proud and so in awe of what she's done.
Do you know what?
We should just give her a frickin' round of applause.
[cheers and applause]
- I am going to miss Baby so much.
But I am so intensely proud of her for taking that decision.
- Danny. - This situation, right?
[laughter]
- When I drew this on a little napkin,
I thought, this is going to be cool.
[laughter]
- Everything's pulling me.
- Well, I just want to say, I'm happy that my little sister
Dakota is here.
And if you don't turn this around,
I'm going to get canceled for attacking you.
- And you know what?
Like, it goes to show-- like, if you do want a role,
speak up because that's what I done.
And, Pixie, thank you so much again for giving me this
because I got her.
And I got the critiques that I finally wanted.
I didn't win. - Well done.
- She didn't win. - But I got the good critiques.
[cheers and applause]
- She was a solid third place.
- I think at this point, if you don't have a badge, Chompers,
you really need to start bucking your ideas up.
She did really well last week.
I just hope she can keep that momentum going again this week.
If not, maybe it's curtains.
- Well, we're doing this for Baby. - Yeah.
- It's seven of us left.
Who is ready to turn it out for the rest of this competition?
- Yeah! - Me, baby!
- Who needs a life raft? [laughter]
- We, like, have finally really arrived in this competition.
- I've not only opened the door.
I've blown the bloody door off.
- Throw me a frickin' bone here.
I am ready to slay and devour anyone that gets in my way
because Black Peppa needs to win another badge.
- Feed me!
I need fertilizer!
- Ah, it's eating me!
It's eating my hand!
- Danny, yum.
Dakota, yum.
Y'all ain't ready.
- Next week on "Drag Race"...
[laughter]
- Hello, ladykins.
- [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 Mel B.
- [singing] RuPaul's Drag Race
May the best drag queen win, best drag queen win
[upbeat music]
- Whoo! - Caw-caw!
Caw! Coo! Coo!
[laughter]
- It's a new day in the werkroom.
Today I'm just going to throw myself into the room...
I'm gonna sit here.
Can I sit here?
I never, ever sit down.
Because I've really realized how much I have been holding
myself back in this competition.
But you know what?
I'm here, and I'm gonna make the most of it.
Yes.
- We are halfway through.
[cheering]
- Hump week.
- Oh, really? - Oh, yeah.
[laughter]
- This is the homestretch.
We've got over that hump, and I'm rolling down
that hill to the finish line.
- Coming off last week, I think what
we have to really remember is that we're here to have fun.
- So much fun.
- This week I'm, like, guns are blazing.
I'm ready to win another badge.
Obviously, I started off with a really big high.
And I feel like now I'm just safe safe.
And I'm like, I really need to win something.
You just need to have the willpower. - Yeah.
- And I will prove that I can get there.
JONBERS: It's really still not clear who is winning this race,
because the tops and bottoms keep on changing each week.
It's a bunch of versatile bitches here.
- Cheddar, what is that on your chest?
- Oh, it's just Linda, the latest contestant
from "RuPaul's Drag Race UK" season four.
- Oh, my God. - Competition.
- She looks like stiff competition.
- She's a comedy queen. [laughter]
She's very dry.
- Do you know what they say about cockroaches?
- What's that? - That they'll outlast everything.
[laughter] So she probably will win.
I don't think the crown is small enough.
[siren wailing]
- Ooh, girl.
Her Majesty did already done had hers's.
[laughter]
Well, well, well...
You think you can just waltz your way through this competition, don't you?
- No. - Yeah, Jonbers.
- Well, think again, missy.
If you really want to make a good impression,
you better quick-step that pussy up, honey.
- Please, not another dance challenge.
- I need to do some more cardio.
- RuPaul's High School for Girls is doing P this week.
[laughter]
- Hello, hello, hello.
ALL: Hi!
- Ooh, good morning, ladykins.
ALL: Good morning. - [laughing]
You know, the UK's Next Drag Superstar
needs to put the bass in her walk
and put the funny in her blankety-blank.
[laughs] You've been waiting all season.
- Yes.
- And today is the day.
For this week's maxi challenge, we're gonna play the Snatch Game.
[all cheering]
- Snatch Game is one of those challenges
that if you succeed in it, you are forever loved and adored.
And if you fail, you are forever shunned.
- Aah!
[laughs] I've got a mixture of excitement and complete shits.
- #DragRaceUK.
You need to show off your best celebrity impersonations
and make me laugh my blanking arse off.
[laughter]
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
[all cheering]
- Snatch Game, baby.
[electronic music]
- Hello, my gorgeous.
- Hey, babes.
- What are you gonna do?
- I think I might-- it's two people, basically.
It's either Marie Kondo or Posh Spice.
When I got to do a tour with Mel C,
I played Posh Spice but all the shows around the world.
But I love Marie Kondo.
I feel like I've got more to do with Marie Kondo
as well because I want to play an Asian character.
- Is Marie Kondo funny?
Like, what's funny about her?
- She's, like, quite, like, prim and proper
with all her neat, anal tidying and stuff.
But she's like, quite--
- Anal tidying? [laughter]
- From what I've seen on TV, Marie Kondo
is the most politest, purest, wonderful woman.
And all the English that I've heard is literally,
konnichiwa, my name is Marie Kondo.
And then everything else is in Japanese, which I love,
because she's like, I don't need to learn English for you lot.
- Who are you doing? What's this? - Oh, my God.
Who are you--Is this another merkin?
- Granddad collar. - Right.
- Is this another merkin? - Gray wig.
Louis Walsh? - Louis Walsh?
- You look like a pop star, you sound like a pop star...
- Thank you.
- You're a pop star.
I've been rehearsing. I've been practicing.
I've got props.
I've got a bus driver wig.
I am ready to be Louis Walsh.
We've seen enough of him.
He's funny. - That's true. That's true.
- He's camp.
- Oh, God.
Are you gonna have to take off your tan?
Bye. [laughter]
- I'm really excited about this challenge.
Like-- - I'm excited.
Ooh, we're cutting wigs already. - I know.
I'm getting, you know, the little queen ready.
- Who is this meant to be?
- This, my darling, is the Queen of Ireland, Enya.
- So she's a singer, isn't she?
- She is a singer.
- Is she the one that sings the "Sail Away" song?
- She sings the "Sail Away" song. Yes, love.
I think Enya's a good character because we don't
even know much about Enya.
And, you know, it's very--
did you hear that in the winds?
They're telling me you're a gob shite.
- What do you think you're gonna do in Snatch Game
to try and snag your first badge?
- Listen to the winds as Enya does.
- [laughs]
- They're calling me.
They're saying, "Jonbers, the winner is you."
- Okay.
She's confident, girlie.
- Hey, dolls! ALL: Hi!
- I've invited a guest.
It's two-time Snatch Game winner, Baga Chipz.
[cheering] - It's me, Baga Chipz.
[laughs] Oh, thank you, Ru.
- Oh, my God.
Le Fil and Pixie Polite, come on over.
Ladies, say hello to Baga.
- Hi. - Hi, Bags.
- First of all, Baga, we're gonna try to guess who they are.
Now, Le Fil has a little mini dress.
Any guesses, Baga?
- Yeah. I'm thinking it's Posh Spice.
Victoria. - Is it Posh?
- Yeah, that one's Posh. Definitely.
- Oh, great. I love, love Posh.
- Because I normally enjoy playing Posh,
I was like, for this challenge,
I was also thinking about doing Marie Kondo as well...
- Oh, yes, of course. Yes.
- Who I also love, who's also slightly anal.
- Well, we love anal. - Yeah.
- Based on my improv challenge, I don't know how easy
it's going to be to Ru cackle.
But with Marie Kondo, I really want to tidy up this competition.
- All right, so, now, you've got a big flouncy outfit on
with lots of jewels.
- She is a dame, if that gives you a clue.
- Dame Shirley Bassey. - Mm.
- That's great. That's fantastic.
Now, a lot of the kids feel that when white people do Black people,
it's not a good thing.
- I just think there's so much to Shirley
that it doesn't need to be about her race.
And she's such a fabulous, larger-than-life national treasure
like you, Bags.
I definitely feel like they're confident in my choice,
and they think it's gonna be funny.
I can't wait to show Ru my Bassey in the challenge.
- So, now, Baga is here.
Do you have any questions for Baga?
- Is there something that you do to fully let go?
- Like, the Snatch Game to me ain't even a challenge,
'cause I just enjoy it. - Yeah.
- And that's the thing about Snatch Game. Just enjoy it. Let go.
Be silly.
And, like, with Dame Shirley, you can do all the hand movements and the mouth.
She, like, talked like-- hello.
Just imagine you're having a big party with Ru.
- Yes. - Yeah.
I think that's a great-- that's great advice.
Well, ladies, make me laugh.
Wow. We've got a lot of stuff here.
There's a lot of characters here.
Let's start with Black Peppa.
There's a hat that has jewels on it.
- Oh, my God. Bimini.
[laughter]
- Who are you playing?
- I'm playing Lil Nas X.
- Lil Nas X? BLACK PEPPA: Yeah.
- Ooh, that's an interesting choice.
- Oh, yeah. BLACK PEPPA: Yeah.
- 'Cause I don't think we know what Lil Nas X
sounds like when he talks.
So you get to do whatever you want, right?
- I can literally do whatever I want to do and have fun with it.
Like, coming into this, I knew I was going to have
to do comedy challenges.
And I know I'm not good at everything.
And to challenge myself in something that I'm not good at
and push beyond that
is basically what I'm going to have to do in this challenge.
- Yeah.
- Just don't let Ru know you're struggling.
- [laughs] BAGA: Just have an answer.
- Absolutely.
- Just, like, if I struggled I'd just say Paul, and that's it.
[laughter]
So just have an answer for everything.
- [laughing]
BLACK PEPPA: I know that, if I do well, this
will be literally me overcoming a huge fear of mine.
So I definitely am taking on every single thing
that they're telling me.
- Cheddar. - Hmm?
- It looks like you have-- - Two.
- One looks like Queen Elizabeth I. - Queen Elizabeth I. Yeah.
- And the other, it's Quentin Crisp.
- It is Quentin Crisp, Ru. - Oh, yeah.
- Yes. It's gorgeous.
Have you done Quentin Crisp before?
- I often wander around the streets just doing impressions
of Quentin Crisp in shops, in the hope that I'll get a free coffee.
Do you know what I mean? - Oh, how fabulous.
But what's your deciding factor between the two?
- Well, I feel like Queen Elizabeth,
because we don't know what she sounds like,
I'll be able to have a lot more fun.
- Well, she sounds like Cate Blanchett.
I mean, everybody knows that. - Oh, of course.
RU PAUL: Yes. - Or Helen Mirren.
- Or Bette Davis.
- Or Dame Judi Dench. - Yes.
[laughs] - You know.
So I feel like I could have so much more fun in being
kind of crazy and out there. - Yes. Yes.
- Who doesn't love a horny, bloodthirsty queen
in a lovely dress out to snatch a crown?
It's practically what we're doing.
- Listen--and you all know this--
if you have an objective, then you have an angle to work from.
That's really the key.
'Cause that's where the humor is.
Now, Dakota, you've got a cigarette.
Oh. Oh, I know who that is.
Do you know who that is?
- Yeah, Pete Burns. - Yes.
- He's been arrested.
- I knew Pete, and Pete was wonderful. Great sense of humor.
How are you going to make Pete funny?
- We haven't got a lot of time on Snatch Game.
- Yeah.
- And I think Pete was just so irreverent and funny,
and there's just so much material just even
with what happened on "Big Brother." - Yeah.
- So that's kind of the era of Pete Burns that I'm going for.
- What are you going to do with your lips?
- I'm gonna borrow some lip liner from Jonbers, actually.
[laughter]
- Rude.
- I've definitely got a lot of work ahead of me
if I want to make Ru laugh.
But I've been quite determined to do that.
- All right, ladies, break a leg and make me laugh.
Jonbers and Danny, come on over.
- Hello. How are you, Baga?
- Hello. - Hi, babe. How are you?
- Do you all know Baga personally?
- Yes, babe.
I think everyone who does drag knows Baga personally.
- Really? [laughter]
So what I'm hearing is you have a restraining order.
- Oh, definitely.
- Baga, how many restraining orders do you have against you right now?
- In the words of Jujube, a sensible 75.
[laughter]
- Baga, last week these two were the top girls.
In fact, Danny won the Ru Peter badge.
But this one here was close on her heels.
That was brilliant. - Thank you.
- That was absolutely brilliant.
You'll be doing that character for the rest of your life.
I want you to know that. - Whoo!
Hey!
- All right. So, Jonbers, you first.
You tell us, are you indeed Prince Valiant?
- Well, I am the queen of something,
but I'm the Queen of Ireland, Enya.
- Enya. - Enya.
- Have you done Enya before? - I've not.
I'm a big fan of Enya.
But I think there's a lot to play with.
- I don't know much about Enya's personality,
but I know she's like-- ain't she like a pixie or a fairy...
- Very much so. - That lives in the Irish countryside?
- Yeah. - Ah.
It's an interesting choice.
But is she funny?
Can you make her funny? - I believe I can.
- I personally would do the most obvious thing.
I would do Saint Patti, which would be the female version
of Saint Patrick.
- Oh, my God. That's funny. I love that one.
Would you like me to eat me breakfast out of a pot of gold
as well, would you, Ru?
[laughter]
- But, you know, you could drag that up.
All of the things that we associate with St. Patrick...
- Yeah.
- You can just drag that up, and that's funny.
- Ru is gonna have her eyes on me, da, da, da.
So I'm gonna do this.
I'm gonna be St. Patti.
- Danny Beard.
- Shall I give you a little impression, see if you get it?
- Okay.
- You look like a pop star. You sound like a pop star.
- Are you Cilla Black? [laughter]
- That's Irish, Ru.
Louis Walsh.
- Oh, Louis Walsh.
Okay.
All right.
So why did you choose Louis Walsh?
- Like, he's got a lot--
I feel like he's got a lot to play with.
He's a big TV personality. I think he's quite funny.
I think I can make him, hopefully, quite funny.
- Great.
- I'm just getting the vibe that Ru isn't into what I'm doing.
- Does your Louis have an objective?
- You've made me think now.
- You know, you want to give yourself lots of choices,
lots of avenues to go down.
Like, if you were the sixth Beatle or the grandchild of the Beatles,
you know, then you'd have all this Liverpool stuff to work with,
which is part of your history, you know?
- Okay. Thank you.
This is sending me in a spin.
I'm already thinking in my mind, who can I do?
- Well, ladies, thank you. I cannot wait to see you out there...
- Cheers, girl. - On the Snatch Game panel.
- What am I doing?
- Listen up, ladies.
Later today you'll head to the Snatch Game set,
where you'll meet your contestants.
From "Strictly Come Dancing," the fabulous Tess Daly...
- Whoo! - Whoo!
- And AJ Odudu.
[all cheering]
And tomorrow on the main stage,
we'll be joined by our extra-special guest judge Mel B.
[all cheering]
- Good luck, girls.
And be much better!
[laughter]
[dramatic music]
- I am just, like, shaking, like, physically shaking.
Looking around the room, everyone seems to be very excited except me.
I am literally breaking Snatch Game,
and I am trying my best to keep it together.
I wasn't looking forward to Snatch Game, all tea.
- Look, do you remember when we done that improv
and you were worried about that? - Mm-hmm.
- And you were safe on that.
Like, just play on that.
Peppa is definitely breaking this.
I know she's amazing. She can do this.
She just needs to believe in herself.
Can you make them funny?
- I don't know. That's the thing, like--
- But that's not the answer. The answer is yes.
Don't get in this headspace.
We haven't even done the challenge yet.
You know what I mean? - Yeah.
- Channel that Black Peppa energy, how you perform and how you lip sync.
Channel that into that character. - Mm-hmm.
- You know what I mean? - Thank you.
I have a tendency to really be trying to control everything
and be perfect.
And I feel like this is the challenge
where I really need to let go and not get in my head.
I really need to pull myself together.
- You can do this. - Yeah.
Of course I can do this. - Exactly. There you go.
Release the yee-haw within.
- Yee-haw! - [laughs]
[music continues]
- I am spinning.
I don't know me ass from me elbow.
How are you? Oh, God.
- I'm done. I'm ready.
- I'm freaking out. - Why are you freaking?
- Oh, no. Why?
- Why are you freaking out? Don't freak out.
- Because Ru was just, like, deadpan, and it threw me off a bit.
Like, she didn't laugh once.
I don't know if I should change it or not.
Do I want to do Natasha Hamilton?
No.
Do I want to do Kerry Katona? No.
- I've got faith in whatever decision Danny makes.
- Yeah. And, you know, I got faith in you whatever you do.
- You know you can do improv. - Yeah.
- You know you can be funny. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So don't second-guess the character too much.
Just choose someone and go for it.
- Commence. - Please don't stress yourself out.
- I'm not sure if it's just the pressure of having done
so well so far, but in all my years of knowing Danny,
I've never seen Danny doubt themselves.
But Danny's hilarious, like, always hilarious,
always has a comeback.
Do you want to ask Linda what she thinks?
CHEDDAR: She says she should go home.
- Okay. Thank you. Yeah.
Made my decision. Find out on the set.
- Whoo!
- It's time to play "Strictly Come Snatch Game."
Here's your host, RuPaul.
- Hello, everybody.
Let's welcome our contestants,
AJ Odudu and Tess Daly.
[laughs]
Now, AJ, you are an amazing dancer.
Are you familiar with the Shablam?
- Oh, Ru, a lady never tells.
- [laughs] Now, Tess, are you excited
to play the Snatch Game?
- So excited. - Really?
- Look at the glitz. - I know!
- The glamour and celebrities. - Darling.
- I feel like I'm at home. [laughter]
- Yes, well, all the celebrities are here.
Now let's meet them.
First, visiting us from the 16th century,
it's Queen Elizabeth I.
- [laughs] Hello, Ru.
- May I call you the Virgin Queen?
- Oh, you can call me virgin on anything, Ru.
But for the boys out there, yes, I am totally intact
but experienced.
- Up next, Marie Kondo is here.
- Oh, konnichiwa, RuPaul-san.
- So what do you think of our set? Is it tidy enough for you?
- At the moment, it look very tidy. Very tidy.
- Oh, good, good.
We've got the one and only--
Cilla Black is here.
Cilla.
- [speaking gibberish]
So lovely to be back on the telly.
[speaks gibberish]
- Diamonds are forever.
Dame Shirley Bassey!
- Hello, my darling Ruth.
Can I call you Ruth?
- Yes, you can call me what--
- Such a lovely Welsh name, Ruth.
- Moving on, you spin me right around, baby.
Pete Burns is here.
- I'm just so excited to be back.
- Isn't it fun? - It's so fun.
- I love it.
- So excited.
We can still smoke indoors if you're dead. It's amazing.
- Yeah!
Grammy winner and global sensation Lil Nas X.
Hey, Lil Nas, what's the X stand for?
- The X stands for how many X chromosomes are there.
- X chromosomes? - Yeah.
- How many do you have?
- I have as many as you want, daddy.
- Okay, all right.
All the way from the Emerald Isle, it's Saint Patti.
- Top of the morning to you there, RuPaul.
[laughter]
- Now, Patti, are you afraid of snakes?
- I don't want to see any more snakes
on this mother-talking island!
Goodbye, snakes!
Hello, Snatch Game!
[laughter]
- Are y'all ready to play the game?
- We're ready. - Let's go, AJ.
- Okay. AJ and Tess, here's how it works.
I ask a question, and you give an answer
that you think will match our stars.
Okay, good luck to you both. - Thank you.
- First question is for AJ.
Do you know the difference between "Drag Race" and "Strictly"?
On "Strictly," they don't blank their disco balls.
All right, now, it looks like our celebrities have finished
writing their answers.
Now we're going to go to you.
- I say they don't tuck their disco balls.
- They don't "took"? - They don't--
- Oh, they don't tuck. They don't tuck.
- How dare you? [laughter]
Let's see if you have matched any of our celebrities.
Let's go to Queen Elizabeth I.
- Oh!
I prefer to pronounce it "thirst," if you know what I mean.
- Thirst, do you yourself thirsty?
- Parched.
What say you, Queen Elizabeth I?
- Well, Ru, I didn't really know what a disco ball was,
but it sounded a bit like a weapon.
And if there's one thing I like to do with all my soldiers' weapons,
it's oil them.
- Oil!
- Vigorously, over and over again.
- Oil their disco balls.
Interesting. [laughter]
Not a match for you, AJ. - Oh.
- Let's move on down to Cilla. - I put shave.
You know, shave their hair on their balls.
- Shave their disco balls. - Yes!
[speaking gibberish]
- It's not a match, unfortunately. We're looking for tuck.
Dame Shirley Bassey. Now, how long have you been a dame?
- Oh, my darling, I've been a dame for years.
But even before I was a dame, I knew I was a queen, my darling.
- Yes.
- Queen of the silver screen, queen of the disco hall.
- Have you made movies?
- Well, no, but I plan on making a movie of my life.
I'm going to call it "Diamond Diva,"
because diamonds are forever.
- Oh, wow, look at you.
- I've got some to spare. Would you like some?
- No, maybe later.
Dame Shirley, we are looking for tuck.
What say you?
- I said polish their disco balls, darling, because they're disco balls.
They don't need polishing. Do you know why, Ruth?
- Why?
- Because they are made of diamonds.
Diamonds don't need to be polished.
They just need to be enjoyed.
- Let's move on down to Marie Kondo.
What say you?
- I say "tuck."
- Touch. - Yeah. Oh, touch!
My translator in my ear is very quiet.
Every time you touch something, it spark joy!
- Yeah. - So close.
- So close! - Very close.
Very close but not a match.
Let's move on down to Saint Patti.
Saint Patti. - Well, how are you? How are you?
- I didn't know Saint Patti's was a lady.
- Actually, in the fact of this answer,
it's because I watched me brother Patrick do this often.
And I said rub,
because he rubs his balls to get the luck of the Irish.
When he rubbed his balls, I always see them get lucky.
[laughter]
- Rub balls. Not a match.
- No. - But a very funny answer.
All right, now, Tess, this one's for you.
Rumor has it Baga Chipz
has been booked for the next series of "Strictly."
In her honor, they're adding a new dance
called the Baga blank, okay?
Think about your answer.
The celebrities are going to write theirs down.
What say you? - Splits.
- The Baga Splits!
All right, let's see if you got any matches here.
Let's go to Lil Nas X.
I don't know. Are you a dancer?
- I'm a good dancer myself, yeah. - Yeah, okay.
- And I met Baga Chipz, actually, when I was out in the club.
And I went to the club the first time, and they gave me water.
And it was amazing!
And Baga cannot dance to save her life. - Okay.
- So I wrote Bend Over.
- Bend Over-- the Baga Bend Over. - Yeah.
- Okay. All right.
Well, unfortunately, that is not a match.
Dame Shirley, what say you?
- You know, I love Baga, I do. But she doesn't have the range.
So like her career, I'd say it's the Baga Dips.
- Dips. - The Baga Dips.
What does that mean?
- Oh, it's just the decline of her career as she slowly slides out of stardom.
Unlike me, my darling. I've been here for years--
decades, in fact, and I plan to be here a lot longer.
- Okay.
We are looking for Splits.
Maybe Pete Burns has Splits.
Let's see what you say. - Hi, Ru.
I wrote Baga Shits. - Baga Shits. Baga Shits.
- That bitch has had so much filler, the bitch looked constipated constantly.
- Now, do you know Baga? - No, I've been dead a long time.
[laughter]
- We were looking for Splits. - No match for me, AJ.
- AJ, okay, here we go.
Michelle Visage wants to return to "Strictly Come Dancing."
She says she's had her blank replaced, and she's ready to go.
- Oh, I know what she's going to be replacing.
- Yeah. Abso-bloody-lutely.
- She's had her two left feet replaced/
Ready to go. [laughter]
- Oh, the shame. - The shame!
All right, let's go to Cilla Black. What say you?
We're looking for two left feet.
- Look, I said her "hurr"!
She's changed her "hurr."
- She's had her hair-- - She wears wigs.
Not like me.
- You're saying her hair. - Correct.
- Her hair--not a match.
- Oh, what a shame, love.
- All right, let's move on down to Queen Elizabeth I.
- I said she had her dignity replaced.
Although I have to confess, I do find it hard to believe
in Michelle's case.
But speaking of people with no dignity,
I believe you had a relative of mine
on one of your many shows in your empire.
- Mary, Queen of Scots. Yes.
- I just wanted to let you know she's dead.
- Did you have anything to do with that?
- When you fuck with the power, you fuck with the power.
- That's right.
Dignity is not a match. We're looking for two left feet.
- All right, let's move on down to Pete Burns.
- I said brain. Dumb bitch.
- Her brain--she's had her brain replaced, and she's ready to go.
- Yeah. So on Michelle's vogue routine, it was insincere
to the point of nausea.
Wouldn't piss on her if she burst into flames.
[laughter]
- All right, what say you, Marie Kondo?
- I spelled the first one wrong, but I say wardrobe.
She had to change her wardrobe. - She had to change her wardrobe--
Replaced. Okay.
- It's very important to have a tidy wardrobe.
- Not a match.
We didn't get our two left feet.
- Sorry, love.
- Here is the last question of the evening.
Alan Carr is hosting a new dating show for senior citizens.
It's called "Strictly Come blank," okay?
So you think about your answer, Tess.
It's called "Strictly Come"...
- "Carefully."
- "Strictly Come Carefully." - "Strictly Come Carefully."
It's to be advised.
- [laughing]
All right, let's go to Queen Elizabeth I.
Now, you've done some dating in your life.
- Only rumors. - Rumors.
- Rumors! Rumors! - Yes!
- I didn't touch it.
It certainly didn't go inside. [laughter]
- Well, what say you?
We're looking for "Strictly Come Carefully."
- "Strictly Come Farting"... [laughing]
which I also know quite a lot about
because I, too, can command the winds, sir.
I have a hurricane in me that was big and bad,
if you dare to try me.
[laughter]
- Unfortunately, that is not a match.
- It's not a match.
[flatulence]
- All right, maybe you'll have better luck with Lil Nas X.
"Strictly Come Carefully" is what we're looking for.
What say you?
- Well, Ru, you know how much I love good old panini.
So I write "Come Over Me."
- Okay, "Strictly Come Over Me."
- "Come Over Me."
- Right now? - What?
- Such sexy lies.
[speaking gibberish]
- Okay, so Lil Nas X went there.
- He went there. - Yes!
- I went there. - Yes.
Not a match, Lil Nas X.
Okay, let's move on down to Saint Patti.
Now, you've heard the question.
Do you need me to repeat it? - Well, if you're feeling lucky.
Are you feeling lucky? - I am feeling lucky.
- Have you ever kissed an Irish woman before?
[laughter]
- We're looking for "Carefully."
What say you, St. Patti?
- Well, I said "snails" because they're snails.
Because they're slow as snails, and you know, looking
around here, there's a few aspirational snails here,
to be honest. - Yes, yeah.
I don't know anything she's talking about right now.
Let's just smile and play along with her and wave.
Yes. - Hi.
- Thank you. Smile and wave.
- Yes. [buzzer sounds]
Oh, shoot!
That sound means it's time for my Zumba class.
So we're out of time, unfortunately.
- Oh, yeah.
- So the winner of tonight's "Strictly Come Snatch Game"
is jazz hands.
Yeah!
Yeah, jazz hands!
Yeah.
Thank you, Tess Daly. - Thank you so much.
- Thank you, AJ. Thank you, stars.
Until next time,
keep snatching for the stars.
Jazz hands!
[upbeat music]
- Boo, boo, boo, boo.
- Growl!
ALL: Girl power!
- It's elimination day!
Somebody's got to go home.
I don't think it's me today. I think I did all right.
- So how are we feeling about "Snatch Game," girlies?
- Oh. - It's a hard challenge.
"Snatch Game" is the most iconic "RuPaul's Drag Race" challenge.
- And we did it. - And we've done it.
- I would just like to say, Jonbers,
last week and this week, you've done so well.
And I'm really proud that you've, like, pulled through, to be honest.
- Thank you so much. Without a badge.
- Well, not yet, dear. Don't count your goose...
- I know. - Before it's hatched.
But, yeah, no, you did great.
- Thank you, love. Love you. - Yeah.
- I'm feeling good about my performance in "Snatch Game."
I made Ru really laugh.
I made the other queens giggle.
I'm feeling really bubbly.
You were amazing yesterday as well.
You were so incredible. You were so funny.
You were incredible, babe.
- Cheddar--she didn't overcomplicate it. She went funny. She went silly.
I'm so proud of her.
It's about time.
- I did not enjoy "Snatch Game" yesterday at all.
And I really did the best that I could.
I know I didn't get Ru to laugh, and that's fine.
I know I'm not a comedian.
Everything I did was cringe. [chuckles]
I'm going to look back at this one day and be like, wow.
I am still not funny. [laughs]
- I was really nervous, because, again, after the improv challenge,
like, it's not my thing, like you.
I don't think I was particularly the strongest in this--I'm not going to lie.
Just put my hands up. But I had a really good time.
- Shall we get ready for the runway, girls?
[all shouting]
- The runway theme this week is tickled pink.
And, you know, as the phrase goes, two in the pink and--
well, actually, there's seven of us in pink this week.
So, yeah, but two of us will stink because we're going to be on the bottom.
- Right.
Got to put some makeup on me face. - Hey, gorg.
How are you? - I'm good. Thank you.
Are you excited for today's runway? - Yeah.
- I'm seeing a pink triangle. - Pink triangle.
- Is that what I think it is? - References, references, reference.
- Yes. That's the symbol that they used to identify
homosexuals in the Holocaust. - Yeah, absolutely.
And then later, it was taken by a lot of queer movements.
So, particularly, it was used by the ACT UP movement.
"Silence equals death" was their slogan. - Yeah.
CHEDDAR: During the HIV and AIDS crisis in the '80s,
the ACT UP movement took those symbols
that were used against us and turned that into a symbol
of queer resistance.
I just wanted to, like, do a little bit of a twist on pink, really.
The ACT UP movement did so many kind of crazy out-there stunts
and made use of spectacle and gags
in order to draw attention to social issues.
And they acted all over the world.
In Manchester, they would shoot condoms
over the wall of Strangeways Prison.
So it was these stunts that drew attention to HIV
as an issue for everybody, because at the time,
people were just regarding it as something that gay men had to deal with.
- The inaction of people in power to do anything--
it's essentially the willful genocide of queer people.
- Absolutely. - That's what it was.
- The governments at the time
were quite happy to just let people die.
You have people who were locked in wards.
You died alone.
You had people who were denied basic medical care.
- I know so many people through drag and in the community
who are in their 50s.
And I'm like, why don't you have friends of your own age?
Like, why do you hang out with the young people?
And they're like, everyone I know died.
And if we had been born slightly earlier, we would probably be dead, too.
- Mm-hmm.
There are plenty of people who do not live anymore
because people weren't willing to talk openly about it.
- I think our generation's very privileged,
because, like, I grew up in an era where it seemed
to be something of the past.
- I was born into the era of HIV and AIDS. - Yeah.
- Right? So I was born in the '80s... - Yeah.
- Just as the virus was really taking hold among gay men.
- Yeah. - And the fear around HIV and homophobia
became intertwined to such an extreme level.
I grew up watching adverts on the television,
of gravestones dropping.
I live with that legacy.
The idea that sex for me
was linked to contagion and death... - Yeah.
- Is something that's always remained with me.
- I'm only 29, but that's how I felt.
I felt like I'd never find love... - Yeah.
- And I was going to die alone and in pain.
- What's always interesting for me now
is when people talk about it being an issue of the past.
- I know.
- Because, obviously, yes, the situation is so much better.
- The stigma is still there, for sure. - The stigma is still there.
When it comes to life, dating, people's ignorant attitudes,
still, people don't really understand how HIV is contracted.
PrEP--when I started PrEP,
the feeling of realizing that my sex life was not a death sentence...
- Yeah.
- It had a profound psychological impact on me.
PrEP is a drug that you can take
which massively reduces your chances of contracting HIV.
We have the opportunity to end HIV for good.
- Absolutely.
- But we need to keep pushing in order to do that.
- Yeah.
- A HIV-positive undetectable person
cannot transmit the virus.
When you are undetectable, you are untransmissible.
We genuinely can eradicate HIV
and, with it, the stigma associated to being positive.
Sorry, I just went on, like, a little bit of my HIV ambassador sermon.
- I love it. - So thank you.
- No, thank you, Cheddar. - I should put some makeup on.
- Yeah let's put some makeup on. - I'm practically done.
Let's be honest. - Let's be honest.
- Drag.
[upbeat music]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
RUPAUL: [laughing]
[music continues]
- [singing] Covergirl
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."
Her dance card is always full--
Michelle Visage.
- Ru, did I ever tell you that I was on "Strictly Come Dancing,"
and I made it all the way to Blackpool?
- "Strictly Come Dancing"? - Yes!
- You? - Yeah!
- Oh. - Ten weeks!
- I can't wait to hear all about it.
And the super-spexy Alan Carr.
Alan, are you a fan of ballroom?
- Why, yes, I am.
In fact, I'm commando right now.
It's all down one side. [laughter]
- She's here to spice up our lives.
Mel B!
Lovely to see you on this side of the pond.
- I have to say, Ru, you are literally taking over the bloody world,
and I'm loving it!
I am!
I did "Dancing With the Stars," you know, in LA, too.
- Did you?
- I came second. I was robbed.
- You came in second?
- Bitch! I didn't. [laughter]
I was robbed, too, Mel. [laughter]
- This week we challenged our queens to snatch the spotlight
with their funniest celebrity impersonations.
And tonight on the runway, category is tickled pink.
- Racers, start your engines.,
and may the best drag queen win.
[singing] Can you feel the love?
Up first, Dakota Schiffer.
- Ooh, pink, pink to make the boys wink.
- I'm serving a Valentino fantasy.
I got this giant taffeta cape on.
I'm feeling very elegant.
- She has a very glamorous headache.
DAKOTA: I feel great walking this runway.
It's one of my favorite looks I brought.
It's glamour and beauty, and I felt tickled fuchsia.
[chuckles]
- Little Pink Riding Hood's all grown up.
- [chuckles]
Black Peppa.
Note to self--never perm your own hair.
BLACK PEPPA: I do not care for pink, okay?
Like, pink is not my color.
This runway was a challenge, but you know what?
I decided to take a Black Peppa spin on it,
and I wanted to do Marge Simpson Eleganza.
- What's in there?
Candy floss! - Oh!
BLACK PEPPA: Guess what.
She got kind of lost in her hair, girl.
- Nine out of ten dentists do not recommend this hairdo.
BLACK PEPPA: I feel amazing.
Is this headpiece heavy?
Yes, but am I going to let that hold me back?
Absolutely not.
RUPAUL: It's funny. She asked the barber just a little off the top.
- [laughs]
RUPAUL: Up next, Pixie Polite.
MICHELLE: Racers, start your engines.
[horn honking]
ALAN: She's giving me the horn.
PIXIE: When I heard the runway theme tickled pink,
my mind immediately went to Ru's iconic outfit
from the opening titles.
You know, I see myself like Ru--
a superstar.
- Oh, Baby Spice at the Olympics.
PIXIE: I am vroom-vrooming it down that runway
in my little motor car with my flag, waving it,
and just being camp.
- Carburetor? - [laughter]
RUPAUL: Cheddar Gorgeous.
[music continues]
- Oh, my God, this outfit is so hot!
CHEDDAR: My tickled-pink runway is inspired by an illustration
of the pink triangle.
Along the straps are the words "silence equals death."
For me, it's a metaphor for the way gay identity works, full stop.
[music continues]
This look is absolutely dedicated
to everyone who's fighting stigma around HIV.
I'm really happy that this is going to get to be seen.
- Now, that's what I call a "snacktivism."
[music continues]
- Danny Beard.
- Guys, I think we found Mrs. Whippy.
- [chuckles]
DANNY: I am head to toe in pink--
pink jewels, custom feather cuffs.
I look like money, and I've got none.
- Uh-oh. She's got pink eye.
[laughter]
DANNY: I like to play with gender.
The mustache, the body--
mix all that up in a gender blender
and serve it to you with a slice of fashion.
And I think I'm doing that quite well today.
- She's got to stop fisting those chickens.
[laughter]
RUPAUL: Jonbers Blonde.
MICHELLE: You know what this is, Ru? RUPAUL: What?
- A total prolapse of the heart. [laughter]
- I'm bringing Kylie showgirl, tickle-me-pink feather realness.
I hate being tickled,
but I am feeling absolutely gorgeous.
Mwah.
- Got it.
JONBERS: I do love the color pink.
Pink to make the boys or girls or whoever you fancy wink.
- Turn around, pink eye.
- [laughing]
Le Fil.
MEL B: Oh, she'd fit right in in Leeds.
It always rains.
LE FIL: I'm serving you pie girl gone glamping.
I'm giving you a whole tent,
and I'm welcoming you in to have a little party.
- God, she's intense.
- [laughing]
LE FIL: I'm just giving you pure body sculpture.
I'm feeling high fashion.
I'm feeling fun, camp, and fabulous.
- Tents, tents, tents across the board.
[singing] Now you feel the love
Welcome, ladies.
When I call your name, please step forward.
[dramatic music]
Jakota Jhiffer...
[music continues]
Danny Beard...
[music continues]
Both of you did a nice job this week.
Both of you...
are safe.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
- You may leave the stage.
[upbeat music]
Ladies, you are the tops and bottoms of the week.
Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
First up, Black Peppa.
- Lil Nas X--the idea was good.
I think where you went wrong was there was no point of view,
and the laughter really didn't happen.
- Well, Ru, you know how much I love a good old panini.
- There was nothing to hook any comedy on.
Maybe if you made him quite conservative and boring,
so you are actually dressed like that,
but, actually, you're just off the way to the library.
Do you know what I mean? Fill in the blanks.
- See, I love Lil Nas.
Oh, my type, baby.
- [laughs]
ALAN: You know you're meant to be critiquing, not speed dating.
MEL B: I know, but you know what? You've got to be honest, haven't ya?
RUPAUL: Whoo!
One of the things I mentioned in the werkroom
was you need to give your character an objective.
Give them something to do, and then you have a point of view
to work from.
- I'm not going to lie.
Snatch Game has been that challenge I have been bricking from week one.
I know I'm not a funny person.
- I think you're a funny person.
This presentation on the runway was hilarious.
No idea what it is. I don't care what it is.
I love it.
Well, thank you, Black Peppa. - Thank you.
- All right, up next, Pixie Polite.
- There were moments of Shirley Bassey that didn't really go anywhere.
- Diamonds don't need to be polished. They just need to be enjoyed.
- And there were funny moments, but I know you have more than that in you.
- I know Shirley Bassey,
and she's just got that rich, confident thing going on.
But it wasn't as confident as I would have liked to have seen.
- I had a conversation once with her about a frying pan,
and she was like, you put the frying pan on the stove,
and then it goes... [vocalizing] [laughter]
And you know, it's like in Snatch Game, you've just got to grab the attention,
and with that voice, you would have really grabbed it.
- Did you at any point think, uh-oh?
- Yes.
I think I got in my own way
and didn't allow myself to go as big as I should have done, basically.
- Now, you've seen this program.
Going over the top in Snatch Game
is really what the brief is all about.
But I love this outfit.
You look like a superstar in it, and pink's your color.
ALAN: Love this look. Super cute.
I feel like I've seen it before.
You're giving me Cheryl Hall vibes.
- You have seen this outfit before
because Baby Spice wore something very similar
at the Olympics.
So I'm living for this outfit.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Hello, Cheddar Gorgeous.
- Queen Elizabeth I-- I loved how you brought her to life.
- You fuck with the power, you fuck with the power.
- That's right. - [laughs]
- Not only did you make jokes, you made historical jokes.
I mean, I've gone onstage and told really old jokes before,
but yours were, like, informative and entertaining,
and that's what I want in Snatch Game.
- You were fantastic.
You chose a character that you understood, and you had fun with her.
And you gave her range.
- Everything was just, like, flowing and going your way.
And she's evil, Queen Elizabeth I, you know.
She shot her own sister.
Oh, no, she didn't shoot her.
Well, she got rid of her. She killed her.
- I don't think she killed a sister.
She died of a peculiar illness, so who knows?
- I was probably laughing at the wrong thing, then, now,
since my history is all wrong.
You look fabulous.
- This outfit is amazing, and it is everything
that I've come to know about you, which is you're very smart.
- I love how your mind works.
I mean, being given the color pink
and then turning it into something important--
what a triumph.
- All I can say about this outfit tonight is thank you.
Having lived through the AIDS crisis in New York,
this means a lot to me.
- A lot of the time, I've struggled in my drag
to find a way of balancing being fun
and also getting a message across.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you, mama.
- All right, Jonbers Blonde, party girl.
Hi.
- Saint Patti was brilliant.
You gave your all to it.
Even, like, the snakes that Ru kept throwing at you,
you had lines back.
And I thought it was really well done.
- Rub, because he rubs his balls to get the luck of the Irish.
- You took all the stereotypes of being Irish,
and then you poured it into this energetic, fun character.
It was a genius move.
- It was very kind of spontaneous, and it just flowed.
- I loved your Saint Patti.
Did you have fun doing it? - I did. I really did.
Obviously, me being from Ireland, I don't want to offend my people.
But, you know, I'm a living potato, so, you know...
- I love what you've done with your makeup.
You look really beautiful tonight, and this outfit is so much fun.
It's party girl on her 16th birthday.
- So you gave me fun, but I did think, what is going to be revealed? Da-da!
And I was expecting more.
But then when you started walking, you were mesmerizing.
- You know, you're just growing in this competition.
I thought you had a great night tonight.
- All right. Well, thank you so much.
All right. Up next, Le Fil.
- So Marie Kondo.
When I saw that, I was like, uh-oh.
She's lovely, and you were lovely.
But I wanted her to be funny.
- Every time you touch something, it spark joy.
- Yeah.
- And all I can say is sometimes you need to know when to fold 'em.
[laughter]
- She has such a quiet energy, and I felt you were a bit lost.
- You looked really elegant,
but I wanted you to kind of nail the funniness, too.
- Unfortunately, your Marie Kondo wasn't absurd enough.
Had you given her another layer--
but you played her straight.
Now, this outfit is gor-ge-ous.
ALAN: It's silly. It's impractical.
But then it is practical because you got an umbrella on your head.
Do you know what I mean?
- Wow, you knocked all of us Spice bitches out the path in those shoes.
- It all works for me because it's you and it tells a story.
That's what was missing from Marie, but it's always there with Le Fil.
- Thank you so much.
- 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.
- Thank you.
[engine turning over]
- I am over the moon.
- When she called your name, I thought,
Dakota's going home.
- Shut your fucking mouth.
- I'm only joking. I would never.
It's better to be safe than to be in the bottom.
- Absolutely.
- I was thinking of things, though, like--
- But I couldn't understand half of what you were saying in that.
- [speaking gibberish]
- Honestly, I just sounded like me Nana talking in her throat.
- Ha!
- [sighs, groaning]
- Oh, my God. Fate.
- Party girl's been out partying.
- Hi! - Queen!
- Someone's happy.
- Hiya.
- Well done.
- Pixie, what's up? - It was very mixed, and I feel like shit.
- Really? Why do you feel shit?
- I knew I hadn't pushed it
and overthinking it yet again.
And like, this is a challenge I should have been able to smash.
[sighs]
DANNY: I can see what she's doing.
She's getting in her own head again.
She starting to think, why, why, why?
Delilah.
- I think you're being really hard on yourself, babe.
- Yeah. - You're being really hard on yourself.
- She's her biggest critic.
PIXIE: I have a lot of mixed emotions,
and I probably should stop, like, allowing the critiques
to affect me in such a way.
Maybe I'm just being a silly cow.
- [laughs]
- Peppa, what did they say to you, my love?
- Obviously, she was like, the thing with Lil Nas X,
you needed, as RuPaul said, a point of view, which is what I didn't have.
I just have to accept the fact that I did not do well.
I didn't throw in the towel.
I really did try my best here.
But it just wasn't enough.
With time, maybe Dan can give me some school training on being funny.
But for now, I need to fight for this spot in the competition,
and I'm not going anywhere. - Absolutely.
- And they adored this look. - And you look...
- They adored it. - So beautiful.
And what about you, Fil, baby?
- My comments were pretty much, your jokes didn't land,
which I get.
Like, I sort of felt that.
The judges might not have liked my Snatch Game--fair play.
But I'm so glad they loved my runway look.
Yeah, that has definitely softened the blow of these critiques.
- With you girls, I presume then that you girls got rave reviews?
- We did get good comments, didn't we? - We got great comments.
To come to "RuPaul's Drag Race UK" and smash Snatch Game,
this is what dreams are made of.
- Like, I actually really self-consciously pushed myself a bit this week,
and they did really like the look, which is so--
- They loved the look.
- I was so happy about. - Well done.
- Thank you. - Well done, darling.
- Well done. - Thank you.
It's important shit. - Yeah.
Even if you look like a Teletubby doing it.
- I do look a bit like a Teletubby. - [laughs]
- Well, we done Snatch Game, kids.
- Well done. - Yeah.
- Done. - Up the bum now, babies.
[all groan goofily]
- All right, now, just between us space ghettos,
what do you think?
Let's start with Black Peppa.
- Black Peppa in the Snatch Game looked amazing, but just really flat for me.
- We've got a very dull, sort of like a stunt double,
of Lil Nas X.
- Wasn't very funny at all, but I was kind of more enthralled
with the smooth-groove thing.
- It didn't have objective,
and, unfortunately, Black Peppa didn't take the advice,
MICHELLE: On the runway, however, really well executed absurdity,
and I enjoyed that.
ALAN: And hey, there was candy floss coming out of her hair.
What's not to love? - Mm.
RUPAUL: All right. Let's move on down to Pixie Polite.
- There's so many glimmering moments
that could have been really good, but they all fell short.
And that's not like Pixie.
- If you don't do the theatrics, then, actually,
Pixie just looked like a dowdy Welsh housewife.
- I know that Pixie has the goods.
She's got funny bones.
But somehow, she felt confined by Snatch Game.
- The outfit, I have to say, I loved it.
MICHELLE: Pink is just made for her.
She looked great in it.
- The proportions with her body shape, fantastic.
But not a good night for her in the Snatch Game.
Let's move on down to Cheddar Gorgeous.
- I loved the look, the outfit, the evil laugh.
- Historical and hysterical.
- You know, I knew Queen Elizabeth before she was a first.
[laughter]
And she behaved exactly like that.
- I knew it. RUPAUL: Yeah. Yeah.
- We love when people bring their cultures to the runway,
and tonight was one of the strongest, I think, ever.
- Great night for Cheddar. She delivered.
All right, let's move on to Jonbers Blonde.
- Saint Patti was full on. - Yeah.
- And you just didn't know what was going to happen next.
- She was just brilliant, and she was ad-libbing well.
- She had complete creative license
to do whatever the flip she wanted, and it was great.
- The runway look--feminine, pretty.
We got a different side of Jonbers, and I liked it.
- I love this competition
when these kids listen and they apply.
And that's what Jonbers has been doing.
- Michelle, you're right. She's really learning.
All right, let's move on down to Le Fil.
- The moment I saw Marie Kondo, I said, ooh,
we in danger, girl. [laughter]
She should have made her a raging bitch.
[laughter]
- Yeah. - She could have been secretly messy.
- Yeah, she could have been a pigsty.
- Why would you choose someone whose main personality trait
is they like tidying up?
I mean, that--talk about dry.
- I didn't find her funny,
but the outfit for me was everything.
That was great, one of my favorites.
I just wish she would have done Posh.
Like a drunk, evil-bitch Posh... something like that.
- [claps hands] Silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my ghettos.
Welcome back, ladies.
Based on your performances in "Strictly Come Snatch Game"
and your tickled-pink runway presentations,
I've made some decisions.
[dramatic music]
Jonbers Blonde,
this week you shamrocked it.
You are safe.
- Thank you so much.
- You may join the other girls. - Thank you.
[music continues]
- Dr. Cheddar Gorgeous...
this week you reigned supreme.
Condragulations.
You are the winner of this week's challenge,
and you've earned a coveted RuPeter badge.
Wear it with pride.
[fanfare]
- Thank you so much.
I won Snatch Game! I won Snatch Game!
- You may join the other girls.
[upbeat music]
Black Peppa, your runway was a treat,
but your Snatch left us hungry.
[dramatic music]
Pixie Polite, your runway was racy...
but your dame was lame.
Le Fil, your runway was neat,
but your Snatch was untidy.
[music continues]
Pixie Polite...
you're safe. - [exhales deeply]
[music continues]
You may join the other girls.
- Thank you all so much. [clears throat]
[music continues]
- Black Peppa, Le Fil,
I'm sorry, my dears, but you're up for elimination.
I'm not surprised it's me and Le Fil, but I am not going anywhere.
So I love you, Le Fil, but I'm going to have to send him home.
- Two queens stand before me.
[music continues]
Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance
of "Stop" by the Spice Girls.
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.
[music continues]
The time has come... [thunder booms]
For you to lip-sync
for your life.
[music continues]
LE FIL: If I have to lip-sync against Peppa,
I know I'm going to have to pull something out of the box
to impress the judges.
I'm going to fight. Bring it on.
- Good luck.
And don't fuck it up.
[The Spice Girls' "Stop"]
- [singing] You just walk in
I make you smile
It's cool, but you don't even know me
- You take an inch
I run a mile
Can't win
You're always right behind me
- And we know that you could go and find some other
Take or leave it or just don't even bother
- Caught in a craze
It's just a phase
Or will this be around forever?
- Don't you know it's going too fast?
Racing so hard, you know it won't last
Don't you know?
Why can't you see?
- Slow it down
Read the signs, so you know just where you're going
- Stop right now, thank you very much
I need somebody with a human touch
Hey, you, always on the run
Gotta slow it down, baby
Gotta have some fun
[vocalizing]
Always be together
[vocalizing]
Stay that way forever
[music continues]
Gotta keep it down, honey
Lay your back on the line
'Cause I don't care about the money
Don't be wasting my time
You need less speed
Get off my case
You gotta slow it down, baby
Just get out of my face
Stop right now
Thank you very much
I need somebody with a human touch
- Stop right now
Thank you very much
[cheers and applause]
- That was nutty.
- That was crazy. [laughter]
[dramatic music]
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
[music continues]
Black Peppa, shantay, you stay.
[music continues]
You may join the other girls.
- Thank you.
[music continues]
[indistinct whispering]
[music continues]
- Le Fil, my queen...
You are all killer, no le filler.
Now, sashay away.
- Thank you so much for having me on this.
It's been an amazing opportunity.
And thank you for showing that an androgynous femme boy
from Brighouse can be in the world of drag.
Thank you.
PIXIE: Love you, Le Fil. Love you, baby.
- Take this wig and shove it up your ass.
[laughter and applause]
Aah!
I am feeling so sad to have left the competition
but also so thrilled with everything I've achieved.
I have loved celebrating both my authenticity
but also my creations.
And I've loved meeting all my sisters.
It's been a wonderful ride.
[music continues]
- Condragulations, queens.
And remember, if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
Can I get an "amen" up in here? ALL: Amen.
- Now, let the music play.
[singing] To, to, to the moon
To the moon
[echoing] You're gonna 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 giving a group of selfless ladies
that hold your hand every high-heeled step of this competition
a head-to-toe drag makeover.
- Surprise, surprise, surprise.
- Aah! Raven is in the werkroom.
- It's just fab-u-lous.
- So Blitz Club, 1979.
- I think you did your sister just a little dirty there.
- No!
- There's camp, love, and there's gay vomit.
