- Previously on "RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World"...
You'll be starring in "Seven: Confessions of a Drag Queen,"
live.
- [singing] Fabulous
We are legends
Hear the confessions of a drag queen
Baby, you'll be wanting more
- Marina Summers.
- You were being a pop star tonight-- fully realized and fully delivered.
- Tia Kofi.
- I'm just so comfortable in your presence.
I think you're a star.
- Choriza May.
- I could sense your nerves.
- Gothy Kendoll.
- I just don't think you're there yet, baby.
- Marina Summers,
condragulations, you're a winner, baby.
- Oh.
- Which queen have you chosen to get the chop?
- Gothy.
- Gothy Kendoll, sashay away.
- I guess you don't like it raw.
[dramatic music]
- Oh, Gothy.
We are back in the Werk Room,
and, sadly, I eliminated
my good sister, Gothy.
Sad to see her go, but another week to slay.
- "Goodbye, sweethearts.
Love, Gothy Kendoll."
all: Aw. - Mm, that's great.
- I hate to be the one to send her home, but, you know,
I gave her the chance the first week,
and last week she also got the chance, and I think it was really the time.
Let us hear your roar.
all: [weakly] Roar.
- That was the saddest roar ever. [laughs]
- That was more of a meow.
- Meow.
- To be honest, I feel that this is a perfect ending for Gothy.
She showcased her personality, her amazing drag.
- I think I might need a little help.
- [laughing] Oh!
And I'm so glad that the world gets to see Gothy for who she really is.
- Well, congratulations on a beautiful lip sync again.
That was so fun to watch. - Thank you.
- Both of you, honestly, that was a great show.
And you gave them the look that they love so much.
- Ooh. - Oh.
- Yeah, watch us next week.
All of us are going to be coming out, going...
- Yes, please. Do that.
- How is everyone else feeling?
- Miss Choriza?
- I'm overwhelmed
by the kindness and the opportunity
that you've given me.
[voice breaking] I really appreciate this.
Like, I don't think words can explain.
So thank you. Thank you.
These are tears of happiness, by the way.
I know I'm Spanish, and everything sounds very romantic, but--
[laughter] - Ay, Dios mío.
- I just need to get up and say to myself, come on, Choriza.
You can do it. [laughter]
I am grateful to still be here.
I've been given not one but two chances
to stay in the competition, and I'm not going to waste them.
- Tia, which lipstick have you chosen? - Oh, yes.
Fuck, I had forgotten about this.
- I chose Jonbers again. [all scream]
I chose Gothy as well.
It was the right decision.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- And you know what you're doing. You know who you are.
I think Gothy knows who she is, but just needs a tiny bit more time...
- In the oven? - Yeah.
And, like, she's also got a massive penis, so...
- [laughing]
- I think her time was done in this competition,
and it would have been so unfair to send Choriza home instead.
- Should we get out of drag? all: Yeah.
- Let's do it.
- Marina might be flying high, but you know what they say.
The higher you fly, the longer the fall.
- I need a new pair of white shoes.
- So we need Marina to fall in the competition.
- One, two, three. Oh, fuck!
- Next week, I can't wait to show the judges that I'm a bad bitch.
- This doesn't sound very safe.
- I will snatch the bitch.
That's what I'm gonna do.
- Okay, well, we have to de-drag. Bye, La Grande Dame.
- We'll see you tomorrow, okay? [laughter]
- That's not cool, guys.
- [singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"
The winner crowned queen of the mother-tucking world
will receive a cash prize of 50,000 pounds.
Tonight, with Michelle Visage, Alan Carr,
and extra-special guest judge Motsi Mabuse.
[singing] RuPaul's Drag Race
May the best drag queen win
Best drag queen win
[energetic music]
- Mabuhay.
Everyone do the Marina.
[moans]
Do it again. [moans]
Another one. [moans]
- Okay, that's enough. [laughter]
It's a fresh and fabulous day in the Werk Room,
and I'm feeling lovely because I was in the top again last week.
Whoo!
- I think we start with congratulating our double-badge winner,
Marina.
Congratulations, honestly. - Thank you so much.
- How you feeling? - I feel great.
I feel energized. I feel like I was born to do drag.
[laughter]
I have two badges.
Ooh, bitch.
What a day to be gay. [laughs]
I'm very, very grateful to feel like I belong.
- You do.
- I feel like I found a new home away from home, so...
- Aw.
- I have just put my name in the competition,
and I'm on the way to the top.
Two new badges in the room, mine and--
What's this?
- It is the President of the Safe Club official badge.
I am now in the business of counterfeit badge making.
I will be taking custom orders.
And, you know, if they're not going to give you one, create your own.
That's what I believe. - Absolutely.
- Sure. - Yeah, no.
And, Choriza, it's time to get the badge, girl.
Get the badge.
- Well, it hasn't been for lack of trying. [laughter]
Last week, I had some frustrations.
But, you know, at the end of the day, I'm having some confidence in what I do
and that I bring something different.
I've been on the precipice so many fucking times.
Like, so close.
And I would love to get a badge.
Like, I don't think I've been far off, but...
you know, it's just the way the cookie crumbles here.
- I think they call it biscuit here.
Hannah and Choriza are both a bit concerned
that they do not have a badge on,
and I think that concern is more than valid.
I would be Sweaty Betty if I was them, honey.
- Well, speaking of cookies,
who's ready to see how the cookie crumbles today, girls?
[alarm blaring] - Ooh, girl!
Her Majesty done already done had herses.
My prancing queens... - Hello.
- It takes two to tango.
So make it rain,
and you could waltz away with all the money, honey.
[engine revving]
- Oh. - Oh, it's giving very dancing.
- It's giving dancing. - Yeah.
- Not another one.
- Hello, hello, hello.
[all scream]
- Hi, Mom.
[all cheering]
- Hey, queens. all: Hey!
- You know, the hit BBC show "Strictly Come Dancing"
has been celebrated around the world. - Uh-huh.
- So, for this week's Maxi Challenge,
you'll be dancing your padded asses off
in the BBC'S newest hit...
"Strictly Come Prancing."
[all cheer]
#DragRaceUK. - Hey.
- Now, you'll be competing in pairs.
But don't worry.
You'll both get a chance to lead,
because you'll be performing in half-and-half drag,
serving "masc meets femme" realness. all: Oh.
- This is exciting. We're sort of flipping between masc and femme
but at the same time, all in the same world.
It's a lot.
- Couple number one will dance the quickstep.
- Hmm. - Couple number two will dance the tango.
all: Oh.
- Couple number three, you'll be dancing the samba.
all: Ooh! - Oh, okay.
- Marina Summers... - [gasps]
- As last week's winner, you'll get to pick the pairs
and assign the dances. - Oh.
- Wow. - Come on!
- Later, you'll be learning all the right moves
with "Strictly" sensation Janette Manrara.
all: Oh! [applause]
- Oh, my God, this is iconic.
This is an honor.
We get a dancing masterclass.
Ugh!
- Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
[all cheering]
- I love a good dancing challenge.
Oh, my God, this is so exciting.
They've seen me perform and lip-synch, but, like, dancing on its own,
that's where I feel most comfortable and powerful with,
so I'm excited.
I would like to see the pairings go well with each other.
- Okay.
- So, like, we're going to do with what I know best.
It's assigning it by height.
No basis on past challenges or anything, just pure illusion.
- No discussion? - No. No discussion.
- All right. - Work.
I'm already a great dancer, so that's already an advantage for me.
So I don't want to put another disadvantage to the girls.
Look at me being generous. [laughs]
Okay, so we have Hannah and Marina
and then Choriza and Scarlet.
And La Grande and Tia.
Do we have any hard feelings?
- No, I just--what if there's a lift, my love?
What if there are lifts?
I'm a bit skeptical about being paired with La Grande Dame
because she can't dance.
Latin and ballroom is all about extension and lines,
and I feel like there's more to get wrong
if you've got longer lines to make with your lengthy, long limbs.
- But to be fair, that does probably work best for ballroom.
- Because it's going to be strange.
If we're partnered together, and I'm lifting you up.
- Hannah, stop defending it, because you're with Marina,
the best dancer in the game.
- Having me as a partner, such a terrible thing.
- Yeah, having her as a partner is like dancing with my father.
[laughter] - Can you give us an example?
Can you show--like, dance? - Yeah.
I can hold you. - Like prom.
- Da-da-da-da, da-da. - Oh, bitch.
- Well, so that's definitely not going to work.
- No, but I don't see how having me as a pick is a terrible choice.
- I was just saying, what if there's a lift?
- Okay. - That was all.
- She thinks I can't dance.
And you know what?
I think she can't dance either, but I'm being nice about it.
- What dances are we going to do? - Ooh.
- The dance styles are...
"Samba is a lively, rhythmic Latin American dance
with roots from Brazil,
tango, the dramatic ballroom dance characterized by sharp movements
and a passionate attitude." - Ooh.
- The last one is--"The quickstep is an energetic ballroom dance
characterized by fast and flowing steps."
I am feeling samba.
Do you like samba?
- That's exactly what I was thinking. Yes. - I was thinking it.
- Oh, the samba is so fun.
But Marina is a dancer, so this is a big challenge for me.
I've got to really showcase that I can keep up
with the energy of her, because she goes.
- What do you want to do?
- Annoying, our big legs-- I want the least leg maneuvers.
- Well, it's ballroom. There's a lot of legs, girl.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- But I think we can give a lot of drama in the upper body.
I can do both, but--
- So the dramatic one would work, which is the tango.
- Tango, I identify a lot with. - Mm-hmm, yeah.
- I think it's dramatic and passionate. - Mm-hmm.
- That, we are. - I think that would be really fun.
- Whatever the category is, I know you're going to slay it.
- Oh, fuck, you do the tango. We'll do the other one.
- Okay. So that settles it.
Thank you for making the decision for me.
You're doing quickstep, and you're doing tango.
Oh, that is so easy.
[laughter]
- I'm nervous, because I do not know what a quickstep is.
- Let's go. - Let's do it.
- Come on. - Let's go.
- Swingers, swingers.
- But I'm ready to push myself beyond my physical capacity.
There's an 80% chance that we're fucked.
[upbeat music]
- Oh, this is very samba. - Oh.
[music continues]
- Well, Marina, give me a cuddle. Thank you for picking me.
I'm so excited. - Same. I'm so excited.
Do you have any background in, like, ballroom?
- My parents and my brother and sister, they were ballroom dancers.
- Oh. - Yeah.
- I didn't know that. - Yeah, so it was--
I was always on the sidelines wanting to do it, so this--
I will love this. - Ooh, same.
- This is exactly what I needed
to really showcase my skills that I've yet to show.
So I'm really, really happy.
This is setting me up to do something really strong.
Oh, here we go. - Here we go.
- But now we've got to figure out how we're going to be half--
half-men, half-women. - Half and half, I know.
I am the least butch person in the room. I am so gay.
So I'm ready to serve them
two fierce dancing performance in one little body.
- I didn't bring hair for that. - Same.
- I feel like we're going to have to take some scissors to a wig.
[imitating scissors cutting] both: Aw.
[music continues]
- I'm honestly so happy to be paired with you.
- Oh, my God, thank you.
- Mostly because I know that you are fucking coming for this.
- Yes.
- I see it in you, and you are going to slay it--I know it.
- And the tango is the perfect way
to all this energy that I'm having now, just let it go.
I am known for having a hard time with choreo,
but I'm also known for pushing through
and rehearsing until I get it right.
I know I can succeed.
I think, specifically with the tango,
it's 50% the attitude... - Mm-hmm.
- 50% the move, and being sexy. And, mama...
- We can do that. - That we know.
- Sexy and sassy. - Yes.
- You know, I'm not known for throwing shapes,
but sometimes I do throw up in my purse.
Does that count?
- I'm excited. Let's do this. - Me too.
- Team Drama, baby. - Team Drama.
- Yes.
[electronic music]
- Oh, love. - Ooh.
This is giving very our energy.
- That's very us. - Yeah.
- It's very us.
- I think this might have actually worked in our favor.
- I think so, too.
- I know I was giving skeptical at the start.
- Yes, bitch.
- It was nothing to do with you. - Mm-hmm.
- It was all to do with...
I mean, everyone wanted to be paired with Marina
because she's the strongest
- I'm not sure it's a good pairing.
You don't want to be dancing next to Beyoncé
when you're a Michelle, you know?
- Did you just call Hannah Conda Michelle?
- [chuckles] Maybe.
I am glad I am with Tia.
We have a funny, goofy type of music.
I have a funny, goofy partner,
and we are going to smash it.
- I think we can really help each other, and...
- Yeah. - I think it's a really good pairing.
- Marina was right doing it by height. - I want you to feel the same way.
- I do feel the same way.
We're going to smash it.
It's just nerve-racking because it's, like, down to the wire now.
And we've got five really strong queens and Scarlet.
So you never know what could happen.
- The universe is with Marina for sure.
- I feel like everyone's really overlooking the fact
that I've been in the top for three weeks in a row...consecutively.
- Sure.
[all screaming]
- It's time to rehearse the choreography
for our "Strictly Come Prancing" performance.
- Hello! all: Hi.
- How bloody exciting.
- Well, I am Janette Manrara. - Yes, you are.
- Okay, so, as you know, for ballroom dancing,
you need a dance partner,
so I have brought along an assistant that I think some of you may recognize,
because he is also my husband, Aljaz!
- Yes, sir!
- Hello!
- Oh, my God! all: Hi!
- Nice to meet you.
- Oh, my God.
- Aljaz, oh, my God. [chuckles]
- Hi. - Hi.
- I'm so excited for this.
- I know you're married, but, you know, if you ever need a side chick...
[laughing]
- Are you ready to get started and start learning some steps?
- Let's do it.
- So, for the tango, just keep giving me drama and intensity.
- I'm a bit nervous just because my preferred dance style
is generally seated.
[chuckles]
- Rock and step, rock and step.
One more. Ready? And...
both: Rock, step, rock...
- Oh, you missed one step, Scarlet.
- It's taking a little bit of time for the choreo to sink in.
- You go in, you go out.
- On the outside. - Oh, wait, I'm not getting that one.
- Come on, Choriza. You can do it.
- But I know we can make this work.
- Step, step, voom. That's it.
- Nice. - Yeah.
- Watch out.
[laughter]
- Samba is hard, but once you get it, it is such a nice dance to dance.
- Yeah. - Ready?
So we go...
[energetic Latin music]
- Okay.
It's fast.
- One and two and three and--
- Ooh! Sorry. - My boob!
- Sorry! [laughter]
- But you know what? I'm keeping up.
- Side. - Side.
- Cross.
Side, cross.
- Janette is one of the best teachers I've ever had.
She just has a way of explaining things
and breaking it down so you absorb it quicker.
And I'm doing what I need to do. I'm holding my own.
And we are having a great time.
- Aljaz's shake is a good shake.
Turn, and you're going to just kind of, like, check out.
- Can you do that again? Sorry, we didn't quite see it.
[laughter]
- It's a hard dance to do. It's very technical.
- Seven, eight. Yeah?
- Brilliant. - Sexy.
- Yeah. - Well done.
- But I must say, I am very proud and impressed of Hannah.
- Well done. - Well done.
- Now that we got the choreography, it's about just making it us.
- Okay, so quick step.
The trick is the body stays here, but the hips both face forward.
So we do this. - So, like, here?
- From here, we're going to go like that.
- And then look forward? - This is going to be great.
- You're like ballroom dancers by nature, honestly.
- Don't speak too soon.
- We haven't moved yet.
- Let's just do it.
We are doers.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, stop.
- Oh, okay. - Try again.
both: One, two, three, four...
- Four. - Wait, no.
- And then you go.
- And one, two-- Oh, outside leg.
- Wrong one. - Outside leg.
- Quickstep--they weren't lying.
There are many steps and all of them quick.
I'm bad at this.
- Five, six, seven eight.
One more time. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- They look like two horses on their hind legs.
I don't want to laugh at them, but it's also very entertaining.
- Outside leg.
One--no, this is run, not kicks. - This is just the runs to go forward run.
- Wait, what were the runs?
- We are not picking up the choreo as fast as some other group are doing.
- It looks, like, really tricky. It's just learning it takes a second.
[laughter] - You're so cute.
- But we are just taking care of each other, and we just want to have fun.
- Five, six, seven, eight. both: Yes.
- So good.
- And you can use each other.
- Oh, we are. [laughs]
- Drastic times call for drastic measures.
We've got to go for personality over performance.
- You've been absolutely amazing. - Yeah.
- So we are all one, and the only real winner
in this segment is dance.
[laughter]
- Bye-bye.
- See you! - Bye.
- They can definitely do it, the queens. I believe in all of them.
They're all going to be amazing, aren't they?
- I think so, but it is only going to work if they do it as a team.
- Yeah.
- Because if one goes wrong, the whole thing is going to be wrong.
- [yelps]
- Neigh. - Neigh.
[upbeat dance music]
both: Dancing the samba, it's Marina and Hannah.
- Today's elimination day, and I'm charged with energy
for this performance.
- Dancing the tango...
- It's Choriza and Scarlet.
[grunts]
- Dancing the quickstep, it's Tia and La Grande Dame.
- Hey, hey, hey! - Seven!
- [laughs]
- I'm so excited to kick this in the ass. And I'm ready.
I'm fucking ready.
- Girlies, how is everyone feeling after rehearsals?
- Broken.
- Feeling good, actually. - Dispirited.
- Sore. - My arms hurt.
- How are you feeling, Marina? - I feel great.
I feel confident.
- Yeah. It's a lot of fun. - A lot of fun.
- My favorite thing is riding on the coattails of other people,
so I'm having a great time.
- You're smashing it, young lady.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- And getting to know Marina a bit more has been lovely.
- Aw.
- What about you, Choriza? - Good. I needed this challenge.
I need something to just materialize off this energy,
and the tango was perfect for it. - Mm-hmm.
- I feel drama. - Ooh.
- Yeah, we are definitely the drama for sure.
You know, I'm feeling really good about what Choriza and I have been able
to put together overnight.
Neither one of us are trained dancers,
but we're going to sell it, regardless of our experience level.
And how about you guys? How you feeling?
- Great. - Yeah.
We get to be sexy horses, which is galloping.
- I see romance from the girls. - Stop it.
- Don't look at her. - Do you have chemistry?
- We don't want to feed the fanfictions. - But we're shipping them.
- We're calling them Kofi Grande. [laughter]
- Oh, the "Strictly" curse.
But I found love.
Is this what romance feels like?
- You two must make a very long 69.
[laughter]
- I hope we get 69s across the board today.
I want to enflame the fire.
I just can't wait for the emotional TikTok videos
that a 14-year-old is going to make in their bedroom of Tia and Dada.
It's going to be a whole thing. I can't wait. [laughs]
We've got to put on half a face,
so we should probably start getting that going,
because we've got a dance to do, everyone.
- Yeah. - Yes.
- Are you ready?
- It's hard to do a half face for a two-faced bitch, so...
[all screaming] - All right, come on, team, let's go.
- We are going to be serving half-masc and half-drag.
One of the most exciting things about drag
is that you get to play with a lot of genders,
and that's the beauty of it.
So I'm ready to mix it up this week.
[upbeat music]
- How does, like, gender language work in France?
Like, for example, like, a term for, like, gender fluid...
- Mm-hmm. - Or, like, nonbinary?
- I feel like we have them.
We had to create them pretty much by...
combining the two we have.
It's... [speaks French]
And it's a very global one.
- Yeah, that's very interesting. Spain is the same.
We have "él" for masculine, "ella,"
and then we've created "elle."
- You know, what's interesting about Filipino language,
like Tagalog language... - Yeah.
- The pronouns are actually very neutral. - Oh, wow.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- We say... [speaks Tagalog] and... [speaks Tagalog].
That's boy and girl, but that's not how you call someone.
- Okay.
- When you call someone... [speaks Tagalog], means--
- You? - You.
Or, like, it applies to everyone. - Oh, okay.
You know we are creating the new culture. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- And we're part of it, so that feels good.
- In Spain, we don't really have--
like, we don't really say the "yas, queen" thing,
but we say... [speaks Spanish]
- What does that mean? - It's like, yeah, man.
It used to be like a countryside sort of saying.
- Oh, my God. - And the queens have reclaimed it.
And it's like... [speaks Spanish]
Like, it's really fucking cool. I love it.
What a privilege to be in a room with queens from all around the world.
And just the fact that I'm going to get to visit the Philippines, France,
and not pay for accommodation and stay in their beds,
this is a win-win situation.
- La Grande Dame. - Oui, mon amour.
- When I come and visit you in France for absolutely innocent purposes
and no other reason...
- I thought we had already planned that.
- Oh, don't tell everyone, please. You'll blow our cover before I blow--
Anyway... [laughter]
- I feel like we should really go out.
Life is exciting recently in France and especially in Paris.
- Yeah.
- We are having the most fun. So I'll show you, Tia.
- [gasps] Show me the world. - [chuckles]
- Hold me, Le Grande Dame. Paint me like one of your French girls.
- How romantical. [laughter]
- Working with Tia has been fun,
but it's time for us to get to work.
We are all nervous, but you can't let that be.
[upbeat music]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
- [laughing]
[singing] Cover girl, put the bass in your walk
Head to toe, let your whole body talk
And what?
Welcome to the main stage
of "RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World."
Michelle Visage.
Now, do you have any dance experience?
- Well, Ru, I did appear on a little show
called "Strictly Come Dancing."
- Really? I don't remember that.
- Okay, maybe this will jog your memory.
I was robbed!
Do you want to see me vogue? Because I'll--
- Oh, oh, look, and there's the super-spexy Alan Carr.
- Wow. [Alan laughs]
- Now, Alan, I bet you'd be great on "Strictly."
- All those sequins and bright colors--
it's too camp for me.
I'd lose my fan base.
[laughter]
- And dancer extraordinaire...
Motsi Mabuse is here.
Welcome, my love.
- Ru, today you can call me Ma-booty, Ma-pussy, Mabu-slay.
[laughter]
- All I know is Mabuse's on fire, honey.
[laughter]
- This week we challenged our queens to a prance-off, "Strictly" style.
And tonight on the runway,
category is business in the front, party in the back.
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
[upbeat Latin music]
Representing the Philippines, Down Under,
USA, the UK, and France,
it's "Strictly Come Prancing: The Global Edition."
[RuPaul's "Queendom"]
- [singing] I used to play ball like a girl
Now I slay ballroom floors across the world
Shame to waste talent and all of this nerve
Unique, charismatic, my calling is to serve
Daddy didn't like when I'm feminine, no
But I got--I got a right to give the people what they want
Turns out they want to work it,
walk and talk and watch me pose
and turn and flaunt
[laughter, cheering]
[singing] Who got the keys to the queendom?
We got the keys to the queendom
I heard she tryin' to shade, but, really, I don't see her
Who got the keys to the queendom?
We got the keys to the queendom
I heard she tryin' to shade, but, really, I don't see her
Drop to the ground, drop to the ground
I come for the crown, come for the crown
Coughing up the coins for the house, coins for the house
Watch these bitches bow down
[music continues]
[singing] Work
I know you want to work
Boom, check it, boom, we opening the doors
Taking applications, we scope out the floors of the room
She focused on the floor
Potential sensation, the bella du jour
Trying to work, they want to see you let it out
I know you want to work, they want to see you go off
I know you want to work, you know I am in business,
I know you want to work, Let's give them just what they want
They want to see you work, work, work, work, work, work, work
I know you want to work, work, work, work, work, work
Want to see you, they want to see you let it out
I know you want to work, they want to see you go off
I know you want to work, you know I am in business
Come, let's give them just what they want
They want to see you work, work, work, work, work
I know you want to work, work, work, work, work, work, work
- Okay!
- [singing] I know you want to work, work, work, work
[RuPaul's "Pretty Pretty Gang Gang"]
[singing] Pretty gang, pretty gang, pretty gang, bitch
You already know, and if you don't, ask your mans, bitch
Pretty gang, pretty, pretty gang, pretty, pretty gang
Oh, you don't think so?
Well, let's ask your man
Pretty, pretty, pretty gang, gang, gang
Pretty, pretty, pretty gang, gang

Bitches scared to come out from under they lace front
Vision of beauty, beauty of my own creation
Lips, titties, booty, booty beyond imagination

Perfectly designed, and when I arrive, you can get your life
I'm a real bitch, and I lay it on thick
I'm a real bitch, and I swear it's not a trick
Pretty gang, pretty gang, pretty gang, bitch

Pretty gang, pretty, pretty gang, pretty, pretty gang
Oh, you don't think so?

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang
[cheers and applause] - Yeah!
- [singing] Nobody's business
Category is business in the front, party in the back.
Up first, Marina Summers.
- She's a sharp dresser.
- This look is serving CEO.
I'm not giving you power shoulders.
I'm giving you superpower shoulders.
Mic test, one, two, three.
And, girl, as I turn around...
- Oh. - Ooh.
- Bam! Karaoke, baby.
- Put the bass in your walk. both: Yeah.
- Please don't stop the music. - Yeah.
- It has RuPaul's song in it--
I'm "Living My Life in London."
I can see the judges dying to get hold of this microphone, baby.
- You're a great singer!
- Oh, wow.
- She's not just okay. She's karaoke.
- Oh, yes.
- Hannah Conda.
- What's new, pussycat?
- I am a cat in a suit, business-ready.
[laughing]
- I can see her fur balls.
- This outfit is very me.
It's very silly.
I am also channeling a little bit of Top Cat,
because hopefully I am going to be the top cat this week.
- What's this, cat on a hot poof?
[laughter]
- Then she turns around, and guess what's happening.
A mouse party!
'Cause while the cat's away, who plays?
The mice.
- Mice to meet you.
- See you at the litter box. [laughter]
- Scarlet Envy.
Hello, gorgeous.
- For this week's runway,
I'm serving you the business of Hollywood, honey.
It is an homage to one of my favorite singers,
Barbra Streisand, the American icon herself.
- Is that Audrey Cockburn?
- This is an iconic look, and I'm here to collect my award, honey.
And you get a little extra treat when I turn around.
- Baby got crack.
- Listen, we all love a bell bottom, but I prefer a bell end.
- She's off to a party in Manchester at the ass-cienda.
[laughter]
- Choriza May.
- Ooh, she's a horny little devil.
- I'm serving business at the front
because I'm a cute lady in the '60s with my little suitcase.
- Ooh. - Oh.
- Oh, dear.
- I'm sharing my dildos and panties with the world.
- Don't forget to pack your panties before your trip to hell.
- I'm very excited to bring the devil in me back to the main stage.
- Oh. - I can't believe it.
- Oh.
- My ass is out, and I'm ready to get it.
- The Devil wears nada.
- Oh, wow.
- La Grande Dame.
- Mm-hmm. - Wow.
- Today on the runway, I am serving bride realness.
- I think she's off to the Bride of Britain Awards.
- I am a sugar baby that just got the sugar daddy.
She want that "schmoney," and she's going to get it.
- She came to slay, for real.
- It's a nice day for a knife wedding.
- The party is arriving, bitch.
She brought a gun, so she is in control of her destiny.
- Talk about a shotgun wedding.
[laughter]
Tia Kofi.
Aw, heaven must be missing an angel.
- My business in the front is Saint Sebastian.
- Business in the front, slaughter in the back.
- She's had an arrow escape.
- Saint Sebastian has been co-opted by the queer community
as a bit of an icon.
Why? Because Saint Sebastian is always depicted in artwork
as being really fit.
- Somebody shops at Target.
- Wow.
- I gave you tortured queer icon, and you're very welcome.
- 180.
[laughter]
- Welcome, queens.
It's time for the judges' critiques.
Up first, Hannah Conda.
- The samba is really, really advanced and really, really hard.
And you did things that people can't do after a year.
But, Hannah, as always, it's your energy.
You are so contagious. You are so much fun.
And you brought that to the performance.
- Oh, Hannah, respect to you, having to dance with Marina like that.
Not only did you dance with her, you met her as well,
and your energy together was just absolutely dynamite.
I mean, I'm a trained dancer myself, so--
I am. [laughter]
Listen, when I get my worm out at the disco, I get compliments.
- I heard about your worm, Alan.
- Yes!
- You know what you did, what I think is ultra-special,
is that I get to see who you are.
That's so difficult to achieve.
A dancer always wants you to leave a memory behind,
and that's what you did.
- Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
- Who knew you could dance like that?
And this is a lot of fun.
This is so you and just twisted.
Now, can you turn around and show the back of your outfit there.
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
We've got "gay rats now!"
"Exterminator? I hardly know her."
And something about cheeses
- "Cheeses loves you."
- Yeah, "Cheeses loves you." That's the other one.
- Thank you. - [speaks indistinctly]
- Up next, Marina Summers.
- The first thing I said when I saw you dancing was, wow,
because you were leading the dance-- elegant, fast, precise.
Maybe they should think about calling you for "Strictly Come Dancing."
- Mm-hmm. [laughter]
- I think tonight you just brought the drama.
There was real theater there.
And you're always in character.
You're not just dancing, you're adding layers.
- You two just had that magic going on.
And, Marina, seeing you on the two sides,
you were so able to get into the male-presenting character.
- Oh, finally I got the butch right. [laughter]
- To see you go for it, that made me so happy.
It really was so much fun to watch.
- I mean, this dress is just a knockout.
Isn't it sophisticated, sexy, and yet fun?
- Can you show us the party in the back? - Of course.
You want to sing your own lyrics?
- Uh, no, not without Auto-Tune. [laughter]
- Knowing Filipino people,
there is one thing they don't play with, and that is karaoke.
And I love that you brought that to your outfit.
It is so camp. I mean, you fit the brief to a T.
- Thank you.
- What a stunning night for you.
Tell me about your background in dance.
- Dancing is something that makes me super powerful and, like, untouchable.
And I'm so happy we get to express that here.
- Well, express you did.
Thank you so much. - Thank you.
- All right, up next, Miss Scarlet Envy.
- Tango--you know, this is a kind of dance
that is all about stillness.
And to be still you need your partner to be still.
For some reason, when the other one was still,
the other one was jiggling around.
But I felt entertained.
So I loved watching you both interact that way.
- I really loved your performance.
I did feel sorry for you having to face Choriza's quite manic grin.
You were, like, trying to do this sexy, passionate dance,
and he's like, ah...
- This look tonight is just so wonderful.
We know this iconic, you know, Barbra Streisand outfit.
Really beautiful.
- And, of course, when you turn around,
we all know what kind of parties you like to go to.
Oh, here they are again.
- I'm like, oh, my God, I'm stealing this for "Strictly Come Dancing."
Make sure I don't turn around.
I'll be fired, but--
Well done.
- This outfit is stunning.
Walk me through deciding to do Barbra Streisand.
- Babs is an American icon.
When I thought business, I thought the business of Hollywood.
- Yes. - It is my favorite business.
Also, I've got "drama" on here because it is--
I am, you know, the drama.
- Are you the drama? - Is it me?
Am I? Maybe I am.
- Thank you, Scarlet. - Thank you, Ru.
- Up next, Choriza May.
- My favorite part of watching your tango was your insane face.
I couldn't stop staring at it.
It made me laugh, and it filled me with joy.
And that's what this was about.
- I felt like you were fighting to get through it.
And it's a funny thing, because it was your time
to be on the spotlight,
but in the spotlight moment, you kind of took back a little bit.
So it's a bit of a shame for that,
because I think you have a fantastic personality.
- Thank you so much.
- Your tango was fun,
but there wasn't much sexual energy there.
I was less "Last Tango in Paris,"
more last chicken in Sainsbury's.
But... [laughter]
- I'll take that. - You were having fun.
And when you have fun, I have fun.
- Tonight we're back in the infierno and the devil horns.
It was campy.
I would have liked to have seen something more and something different,
but this was well executed.
- Completely mad.
You put a smile on my face, so thank you. - Thank you.
- The dance, it was very manic.
And it felt like you were trying to rush through it, you know?
Do you have a dance background at all?
- You know the answer. [laughter]
Thanks for asking, but, no.
- What did you learn about yourself
and your relationship to dance through this challenge?
- That it doesn't matter what's going on in the feet
as long as the face is crazy as fuck. [laughter]
- Thank you. - Thank you, Ru.
- Up next, La Grande Dame.
- You did one of my favorite dances tonight.
You had the quickstep.
Janette was brilliant by starting you down there so you can do a run.
- I definitely feel like this was the perfectly paired couple.
Quickstep is a dance that needs space.
So, to be able to do that with both of you,
those long legs was absolutely sensational.
- I don't know if I was making this up,
but I just got the impression you were looking at Tia,
saying, come on Tia, we can do this,
and I loved you even more for it.
- That's really touching that you guys so this interaction we were having
because it really was there.
That just fills my heart.
- And was the kiss part of the choreography?
- No.
- Oh. - Oh.
[laughter]
- And this look, I thought you looked gorgeous, like an angel.
- I would have liked to have had more of a party in the back,
not just an assault.
But it went along with the storyline.
- Where does your twisted sense of everything come from?
- I think I figured out pretty young
that the only thing valuable in a day was the laughs.
And that's what kept me going.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Tia Kofi.
- Partner dancing is all about trust,
and I felt that trust with you two.
- I felt a sincere warmth from you.
And you forced me to look at you.
So I absolutely love that about your personality.
Yes, it's a difficult dance.
You could have been maybe slightly lighter in movement,
but I think you did a great job.
- Your look tonight--it's so crazy how you two both fixated
on murder with your outfit. - Oh.
- Can you show us the back of your outfit?
- I know that's Saint Sebastian, isn't it?
Yes, a queer icon.
- Ooh.
- [goofy voice] Yes, and thank you very much.
[laughter]
- I enjoy the trajectory of your drag life.
It's been a joy to watch.
- Thank you.
- You were paired together, I guess, out of necessity.
- Yeah, I mean, had it been me and Marina,
it might have looked like a Great Dane and a Chihuahua
just attempting to connect with each other.
But this time, you got two gorgeous giraffes
just trotting. - Yes.
- It was just really fun working together.
- Hmm.
- Well, thank you. - Thank you very much.
- Thank you, queens.
Based on the judges' critiques, I've made some decisions.
[dramatic music]
Hannah Conda...
Marina Summers...
you are the top two queens of the week.
- Yes. - Aah! Well done.
- Condragulations.
Tia Kofi...
La Grande Dame, you are safe.
Scarlet Envy...
Choriza May...
I'm sorry, my dears, but you are the bottom two.
[music continues]
[laughter]
Hannah, Marina...
you need to decide which of the bottom two
you'll eliminate if you win the lip sync.
So, while you queens deliberate in the Werk Room,
Michelle will force us to watch
her "Strictly" vogue performance
over and over... - I was robbed.
- Again.
You may leave the stage.
[engine turning over]
- Whoo. [laughs]
- Well, that was fun.
- I can't believe we did it, bitch. - Oh, my God.
- Honestly, let's get a "beveragino." Come on.
We're back in "Untucked," and I feel over the moon.
Are cats allowed on the furniture? [laughter]
I'm in the top two! Broom, broom!
- Baby! Baby! [all cheer]
Congratulations. - Thank you.
- How are you feeling? - I was having the best time.
And you were just such an incredible partner,
and I loved every second of it.
And it's just given me a big boost of confidence.
- How do you feel that you, like, already know
you're going to lose another lip sync?
[all screaming]
- No way.
- Well, look, I kept up with her before.
I don't know. - [trilling tongue]
How are you feeling, ladies?
- I would be devastated if I did a bad job, but I didn't.
In a different situation, I would feel very shit.
But we're the top six of the best of the best.
Yeah, it sucks to be at the bottom of the barrel.
But at the same time, we did a good job.
There's not a way I can be sad about it.
I was loving every second of it.
- I had a great time. - Yeah.
- And also I thought we did a great job.
- Yes. - I did. I did think so.
I had a great time. - Well...
- Should we do the fun part? - Yeah.
- Should we chat? - Yeah.
- Should we get down to business and then party?
- Let's do it.
- This is...
definitely the lowest point of the competition for me so far.
- And the award goes to... - Hello.
Goes to you if you save me.
If you save me, it goes to you.
My strategy here is just state the facts.
I have a better track record. I have a badge, even.
The decision should be fairly clear.
I really, really want to be here.
I think I've done very well in the competition so far.
Somebody has to be here, you know? - Yeah.
And I want you to know that you are a strong competitor.
But Choriza is also a huge, huge friend of mine.
So it's going to be a tough one.
And this girl, she is so hard to read.
Yeah, I will just go with my gut, I guess. - Mm-hmm.
- The competition is getting stiffer,
and if I save her next week,
she might be in the top and eliminate me.
- You found yourself in the kitty litter. - Yes.
Well, I have two weeks' experience in the business of being in the bottom.
- [laughing]
- I still want to be here.
It's hard to plead against someone you've been working with.
It's not something I want to do,
but, somehow, it's what I need to do to stay.
- There's things that I--
You know, I've got to be honest, I kind of am worried about Scarlet,
because she's very cutthroat.
She is someone I just haven't warmed to
in a place where I feel like, oh, my God, I could trust here
if I fell in the bottom.
I am struggling because there's the fairness and the track record,
but then there's the heart--Choriza.
And I would really feel awful looking her in the eye
and sending her home.
- I think other reason I think you should keep me.
This one will certainly fit you.
- Now this-- Has this one been used?
- Absolutely. - Tried and true.
And you're smiling still, and you're in the bottom.
- Yes.
- So, as a bottom, this could be great for me.
- Absolutely. - [laughing]
- We're safe, and we're together.
It's a good place to be.
[romantic music]
No, but who would you send home?
- I think it would be Choriza.
- Okay.
- We've become very, very close. - Yeah.
- And it pains me to see you here... - Absolutely.
- Again after saving you last week.
- So I know how it is looking for me. I'm aware.
My delusion only goes so far.
But I'm never going to give up.
- Right now I'm very, very confused.
There is an unspoken rule
of, like, choosing based off of track record,
but I still haven't made up my mind.
- When we leave here, we are going to be...
miles away from each other.
[voice breaking] But I know no matter what,
I'm going to feel you here. - Yeah.
- That feels better than any RuPeter badge that I could have won.
[normal voice] I know there's a real chance that I might be going home today.
[crying] Competition aside, I'm just not ready to say goodbye to them.
- I'm taking in track record, of course,
but I'm also now going forward wanting to make sure
that I'm fostering a group of people that really want to vibe with
and have a good time with.
- I feel like we vibe. - Yeah, yeah.
- I feel like we've done well.
- Yeah. - Um...
[tense music]
- What do you see your sort of game play going forward?
- I'm going to do it the same-- like, as fair as possible, you know?
- Yeah.
- Just because I told myself I was going to do that.
- Look, Scarlet, early on, she did say she was unafraid
to send top competition home.
- Oh, like, this is your track record.
And it's just like, oh, I hate it, honestly.
I really don't like going by track record.
- So you're going to... the competition.
- I mean, I guess that's what I just said, yeah.
- I feel like she has forgotten that she said that.
That makes me nervous.
I appreciate you talking to me and sharing how you're feeling.
And...
you're fabulous.
And, yeah, just keep being gay.
- I want to have faith that she'll do
what I see is the right thing to do.
Okay. All right. - I'll see you soon.
- But maybe I'm less...
confident now.
- [exhales deeply]
[tense music]
This is a tough thing to do.
Choriza has kind of been coasting.
But what she lacks in wins,
she makes up with personality.
Scarlet has won a badge.
That's one thing she has over me.
My head and my hear , they're fighting, fighting hard.
- Choriza has been a great friend of mine.
But then again, this is the third time that she's in the bottom.
But if I get rid of Scarlet...
I am going to be the drama.
Oh.
[music continues]
- Welcome back, ladies.
Two internationally acclaimed queens
stand before me.
Ladies, this is your chance to impress me
and earn the power
to give one of the bottom queens the chop.
[music continues]
- I 100% feel like I have a chance of winning.
I've showed that I can hold myself against Marina,
and I'm dressed as a fucking cat.
- The time has come... [thunder booms]
For you to lip-synch
for the world.
[music continues]
- I am so excited.
There is no fucking way
that I am going to lose this lip sync.
- Good luck, and do not fuck it up.
- [singing] Release me
Release my body
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to
Convince myself
That I'm better off without you
Yeah, it's perfectly clear love is not what you need
Tell you that I don't care, but I don't want to
I don't know why I want you so
- Whoo-hoo!
- [singing] You have on me, I can't shake
No, I'm not in control
So let me go
Release me - Hey!
- [singing] Release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back?
I say release me
Release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do keep coming back?
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to
Convince myself
that I'm better off without you
Release me
Release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back?
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to
Convince myself
That I'm better off without you
[cheers and applause]
- Whoa. - Wow.
Wow.
- That was sickening.
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
[dramatic music]
Marina Summers...
condragulations.
You're a winner, baby.
[cheers and applause]
And you are the proud recipient of a gold RuPeter badge.
- [singing] Rule Britannia
- Wear it with pride.
Hannah Conda, you are safe
to slay another day.
- Thank you, mama.
- You may paso-doble
to the back of the stage. - Yes!
- I don't know what that one is, but I will just do this.
- Yes. - Yes.
[applause]
- [exhales deeply]
- Will the bottom queens please step forward?
[dramatic music]
Marina, with great power
comes great responsibility.
Which queen have you chosen
to get the chop?
- As much as I want to be on top every week,
it pains my heart to send home a fellow sister,
especially this week.
These two girls worked hard for their routine.
So the queen that I chosen to give the chop...
my sister...
Choriza.
- What?
[laughter]
- Just cry, bitch
[laughter continues]
- As it is written, so it shall be done.
- Choriza May, you are
and will always be a global phenomenon.
Now, sashay away.
- Thank you. I love you so much.
[soft music]
We all live very far apart.
[voice breaking] But it doesn't matter the miles.
I'm always going to have you all in my heart.
I love you. - I love you.
- And I'm sure I'm going to see you soon.
I love you so much, baby. - I love you so much.
[music continues]
- I love you so much. Keep slaying.
That was sickening.
You better eat that ass, darling.
[speaks Spanish]
[all speak Spanish] - Love you.
[laughter]
- You ain't in "Strictly" no more. - No "Strictly."
We're eating asses. [laughter]
- [imitates sniffling and crying]
What the fuck?
I feel a little bit sad because I'm not going to be back next week
to share more moments with my sisters.
But I have to love the journey that I've had.
I do think the right decision was made.
I was the queen with the worst track record,
and maybe if the other queens were a bit shittier,
I would have done a little bit better.
Bye.
- Condragulations, queens.
And, remember, if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell you going to love somebody else?
Can I get an "amen" up in here?
all: Amen! - All right.
Now let the music play!
[singing] To, to, to the moon
To the moon
Come on, and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon, to the moon
Next time on "RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World"...
You need to give a good old-fashioned roast.
- Whoo!
- Graham Norton's been on the telly so long
that when he started, it was actually just live theater in Greece.
- Myself and Le Grande Dame, the relationship has ended.
- Let me stop you there.
- It was a home run. I was so proud of you.
- I was confused as to why you weren't getting more laughs.
- I just want to be safe. Comedy is not my strongest suit.
It's been great, girls. Bye-bye.
- [singing] To, to, to, the moon
To the moon
Come on, and take me away
To, to, to the moon
To the moon
Come on, and take me away
To, to, to the moon
To the moon
Come on, and take me away
To, to, to the moon
