She is known in Houston for being that girl who will
cut you down in a moment's notice.

massive amounts of [bleep] with.

for more than 15 seconds or however many seconds
it is they give you on TikTok.

look like the toy store."
And then I was like, "Sweetie, that was my line."
And then we started, like, fighting.

We're like the doll you pull and just,
like, the little lines come out.

a glass of ice cold water.
Let's get started.
First, you're gonna wanna pour yourself
two cups of water into a glass.
♪ ♪
See how easy that is? All right.
Next up, we're just gonna take some ice and we're--
you just get a little ice.
And you--give it--
just put some ice right into the glass.
- No one's laughing, absolutely no one.
The only thing that's making noise is the ice cubes.
- All right. And last but not least, we're gonna
take a little slice of lemon.
We're gonna squeeze a few drops into the glass,
and then we're gonna put it right on the edge of--
right into the glass.
All right. Let's try it out.
- This has so much potential.
It doesn't have to be this--
no pun intended--dry.
- Mm, so good.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

ever so gently?
[cheering and applause]
- Period.

- This talent was a total game changer.

[laughter]
- ♪ The world is your runway ♪
♪ ♪
Category is Who Is She?
Up first, Irene Dubois.
♪ The world is your runway ♪
Ooh. Oh, no, she better Dubois.
- This is absolutely a signature Irene Dubois look.
It's inspired by Giger and the Xenomorph
from the "Alien" franchise.
I'm gonna plant my baby in you, and it's gonna
burst out of your chest.
And give me your heart so I can eat it!
[munching]
- When are they bringing back the McRib?
- [laughs]
- Luxx Noir London, Luxx Noir Paris, Luxx Noir New York.
- A quintessential Luxx look would be,
like, some sort of grand hat 'cause I love a statement hat.
Like, people don't wear hats enough.
Maybe people do wear a lot of hats.
I don't know.
I don't really pay attention.
But definitely some color.
I love to show body.
I love to show shape, fun colors.
I think I said colors already, didn't I?
- I think you get free satellite TV with this hat.
- [laughs]
Aura Mayari.
Trend alert, high-top ponytail.
- Aura Mayari is a moon goddess warrior.
And I'm definitely showing that with this all-black
vinyl look and my platinum ponytail.
Michelle is looking at me.
And she's like, "Who is that bitch?
She's [bleep] gorgeous."
Maybe I'm just delusional. [laughs]
- Why I Aura.
[laughter]
- Marcia Marcia Marcia.
- You know, Mom always said,
"Don't play with balls in the house."
- [laughs]
- This beautiful Chanel-inspired outfit
represents my drag because it is kind of
preppy, pastels.
My references are, like, Ariana Grande,
Audrey Hepburn and, like, Cher Horowitz,
like, mixed together.
- Normally I'm not a fan of blue balls.
But in this case, I'll take 'em.
- [laughs] Anetra.
- What? I can't hear you.
I have giant [bleep] spikes in my ears.
[laughter]
- I'm stomping this runway in a custom Anetra original.
Everything is hand-sewn by your girl.
We're giving you high future, crash landed
from the planet [bleep] in 3035.
Left, right, left, right, walking ducks left and right.
[laughs]
- It's all water off a duck's crack.
- That's right.
You better walk that [bleep] duck.
[laughs] - Quack, quack.
- Malaysia Babydoll Foxx.
All right, Patti LaBelle, here's something else for you.
- I'm wearing a fully rhinestoned white netted gown.
I got my foxtails, baby.
That means I got a little train in the back.
Y'all eating it up, baby, 'cause I'm giving
what needs to be given.
- Why have seven rings when you can have that one?
- Princess Poppy.
- She's tulle for the summer.
- I am the Princess of Candyland,
and I am colorful, irreverent.
And I am doing a pun on rainbows and bows.
I'm letting them see all of this little tutu--
and just a little bit of my ass crack.
- Toot toot. Hey. Beep beep.
- [laughs]
- Sasha Colby, from ColbyCo.
- Fangirling so hard right now.
- I am giving you quintessential Sasha Colby--
wearing a gown that I wore once, 10 years ago,
when I won Miss Continental.
This look is screaming unadulterated glamour,
unapologetic fashion, and, most of all, art.
Don't touch.
- Gorgeous.
- Ma'am, I can't see the movie.
[laughter]
- For your consideration... - Yes.
- Salina EsTitties or Salina STDs.
[laughter]
- This is classic EsTitties, OK?
She is serving West Coast chola.
I'm in a full head-to-toe denim look that I made myself.
You know exactly who this girl is the minute you see her.
- You know, she's got really good jeans.
- [laughs]
Amethyst.
- Enemathyst?
- For this look, I'm going with
a very slutty Bo Peep vibe.
I think of myself as a Disney teen
that went off the deep end
and, like, wants to be naughty.
I'm a Disney ho.
- Uh, Chrissy, where's Jack and Janet?
- At the Regal Beagle.
Mr. Roper? I think you me Mr. Groper.
[laughter]
- Jax.
- Oh, the Fly Girl auditions are next door.
- I'm giving you OG Jax.
It is color blocked.
And I'm coming up out of that bodega,
just rolling through the East Village,
stomping on some rats in Tompkins Square Park,
ready to serve it on the runway.
- You got some film in that camera or you
just happy to see me?
- Hey.
- Loosey LaDuca.
- I am serving an homage to the Holy Spirit herself,
Miss Britney Spears.
- Check out her overhead compartments.
- [laughs]
- You'll notice my drag is always about the body-ody-ody.
I'm trying to embody glamour with a hint of camp--
signature Loosey LaDuca.
- On this flight, we only serve nuts.
- [laughs]
Mistress Isabelle Brooks.
Oh, there's a new sheriff in town.
- [laughs]
- I'm giving them a little taste of Houston, Texas drag.
Everything in Texas is bigger and better.
When we walk, you're gonna hear the beads
swishing against the floor.
We're going to be in the heaviest
garment doing the most, honey.
I didn't get this made for the show.
I pulled this out of my closet.
But that's how you know a bitch really got it going on.
- I hear she has a huge lasso.
- [laughs]
The Robin Fierce.
- She's got a bod for sin but a head for donuts.
- [laughs]
- This is literally the most beautiful
that I have ever, ever, ever felt.
This look represents me
because it's glamorous and functional.
Not only is she the belle of the ball,
she can get down if she has to.
- Business in the front and whore in the back.
[laughter]
- Sugar.
- Where's her beast?
- [laughs]
- I am in my full high-whore princess drag fantasy.
All of the references are pulled
from my childhood, my favorite pop stars and movies.
That's the only reason why I do drag,
is to connect with my inner self and be that little kid.
- My name is Belle. I'm from Long Island.
[laughter] I go to Roosevelt Field Mall.
- [laughs]
- See you there.
- Spice.
- My name's Ariel. You just met my sister, Belle.
- [laughs]
- We hung out on Jones Beach this summer.
- I'm giving you collector edition Spice, channeling
my favorite princess ever--
red glitter lip to match my red hair.
And of course, I have the high slit up to the nether region.
The coochie is about to pop out.
But, hello, it's Spice.
That's always gonna happen.
- Fashion alert--fuzzy slits. [laughter]
- Took you 15 seasons to say fuzzy slits?
[laughter]
I feel like--
I'm quite sure that was said once before.
- It had to be. Check the tape.
- Coming up... - It wasn't funny.
- I wish that it had had a little bit more
of a punch line in it.
- You're gonna have to do more.
[laughter]
- Welcome, queens.
Based on your One Night Only performances and your
Who Is She? runway presentations,
I've made some decisions.
Luxx Noir London,
Aura Mayari,
Malaysia Babydoll Foxx,
Princess Poppy,
Sasha Colby, Salina EsTitties,
Mistress Isabelle Brooks,
the Robin Fierce, Sugar, Spice...
ladies, you are safe.
You may leave the stage.

Ladykins, you represent the tops
and the bottoms of the week.
Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
Up first, Irene Dubois.
- First of all, congrats to all of you
for that opening number.
It looked so amazing, so Miss America.
I was living up my fantasy.
So, brava to all of you.
Hey, Irene. - Hi, Michelle.
- Your talent show--
I was excited about the storyline
that you were giving us with just the way you looked.
I think the way you paint yourself is beautiful.
Where it fell short for me, Irene, was it wasn't funny.
- I liked where you were going.
It just went from an H2-oh!
to an H2-oh.
- I wish that it had had a little bit more
of a punch line at the end.
- But I love this runway look.
- Thank you so much. - I think it's very intricate.
And I'm into it.
- Have you performed the water bit before?
- I have, and it is normally a much longer bit.
And I think compressing it, I chose some of
the wrong beats to mix.
I think it was underwritten.
- By an insurance company?
- [laughs]
- Thank you.
- Up next, Marcia Marcia Marcia.
- Uh, stalker much?
- [laughs]
- No, listen, I get it.
I wanna [bleep] me too, OK?
[laughter]
I get it.
I thought it was very sweet.
Very bravely you speak for tens of people out there...
- Yes. - Who also wanna
make out with me. - You were able to remain
in this goofy character
and still deliver this technically beautiful ballet.
That's what a performer does.
- You are a very thoughtful artist.
It was just super moving and incredible in every capacity.
- I think this is really fun.
But you're wearing maybe some Chapstick and mascara.
- You got away with it tonight.
But you're gonna have to do more.
- Gotcha. And I will give that to you.
- All right. We'll be looking.
- Great.
- Up next, Anetra.
- Anetra, you better walk that [bleep] duck.
[laughter]
Your sense of drag--it's kind of like Street Fighter
meets ballroom.
- The specificity with your looks
is so incredibly important.
I feel like I know you right away.
- You counted the letters in your name
and then told us how many vowels were in it.
[laughter]
Like--it's like you're Vanna White.
Thank you. Good to know.
- Immediately, I know exactly who you are.
And you're damn talented.
- Thank you.
- I wanna watch that number on rewind over, and over,
and over again.
You just tore it up.
And then you gave us something
we didn't expect with the kicks.
[laughs] Did you tell Bryce that there's no way
you're gonna hit his face?
- We ran it a couple of times just to make sure
he was comfortable. - Sure.
- But I was a taekwondo athlete for 14 years.
- Wow. - And when did you know
you could duck walk? - Just now.
[laughter]
- Just remember, you better walk that [bleep] duck.
- [laughs] - Up next, Amethyst.
- The idea with your number--
it's actually a funny idea.
Could have padded a little bit to give us more drag with it.
But I'm gonna tell you the main thing that went wrong.
We saw the baby way too fast.
- I laughed when the wine glass came out.
And then I laughed when I saw the baby.
But, unfortunately, there was nowhere to go from there.
- You should have kept that bun in the oven until the end.
Because once the audience gets ahead of you,
you can't catch up.
Tonight on the runway, I think this is really cute.
- Thank you. - I like the extra bows.
I love the pigtails. I love a pigtail.
- And tell me about the no padding.
What do you have against Styrofoam rubber?
- Nothing. [laughter]
But I do think I was blessed with a nice body.
So I would-- I like to show it off.
- Well, no, you should show it off.
But if you had a big fat ass, it would make
your tiny waist even better.
- That's the misconception of younger queens.
They think padding takes away.
Adding some hip and thigh will just be like va-va-vavoom.
- Yeah. - All right. Up next, Jax.
- This talent was a total game changer.
When it became clear to us that your hair was the jump rope,
something shifted in the universe.
[laughter]
Like, something major happened in the cosmos.
- One of my favorite moments was not
the four backflips you did.
It was when you were jump roping with your hair
and you were rolling your eyes, like, this is nothing.
[laughter]
Who the [bleep] does that?
I imagine you're a gymnast.
- I was a competitive cheerleader.
- Yeah, you were.
And that's so smart, whether it's taekwondo,
whether it's ballet.
That is how you show us who you are at the beginning
of this competition.
- I like your attitude.
I like your look.
You are an around-the-way girl.
You give me very '90s vibes, which is fantastic.
- I've said it for years.
Know who you are and deliver it at all times.
It was something we did not expect at all.
And that's one that I could watch on a loop
all night long.
Up next, Loosey LaDuca.
- Your body is so beautiful.
You know exactly how it should look.
That's smart.
Singing live, on the other hand, wasn't that smart.
You were doing this whole '80s moment.
And it almost needed for you to lean into big movements.
But because you were giving us live vocals, it took it down.
And it was like, oh, OK. She's doing step touch.
And she's doing this. - I do share similar concerns.
If that was gonna be the main thing of the performance,
then I would love for it to have been
a slightly more perfect vocal.
- I assumed that singing live would really
show a talent that not everyone was going to show.
And I took a risk.
And I--
I understand that it didn't fully pay off.
But I want you to know that I've
been doing this for a really long time,
and I have a lot to show.
And I know you like us padded.
But I don't pad, and I never will. OK?
[laughter]
- Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
While you and untuck in the werk room,
the judges and I will deliberate.
- Now, just between us squirrel friends, what do you think?
And may I remind you, somebody's gotta go home.
Let's talk about Irene Dubois.
- Irene Dubois is a beautiful queen.
She's a bit twisted, which we could see in the talent show.
- A lot of show, not so much talent right?
- [laughs] - Uh-huh.
- The idea of an act that kind of mocks influencers
and TikTok culture, I think that's really smart.
But it didn't land at all.
And if you're gonna go comedy, it has to land.
- All right, let's move on down to Marcia Marcia Marcia.
- This queen is so smart.
She pops.
And I'm not just saying that 'cause has great taste in men,
you understand? - [laughs]
- It was funny. It was a full story.
It showcased her talent.
I think she's the full package.
- Anetra.
- You know, it was enough, the dancing and the taekwondo.
I would have been impressed with that.
And then she changed the whole motherducking game.
- I wanna come to her show, you know?
I think if I saw that at a club or somewhere,
I would pass out.
- I'm gonna say it.
Anetra has quacked the code.
- Shut up. [laughter]
- Up next, we've got Amethyst.
- So whereas we know exactly what Marcia is,
we know exactly what Anetra is,
we have no idea who Amethyst is.
- I can tell that she's incredible.
It's just a bummer that it wasn't perfectly executed.
- She could have actually made that character
more interesting.
I wanna see a Beverly Hills housewife mom with leggings
and high heeled shoes.
I hate seeing flats on this runway.
- It wasn't necessary. - Jax.
- Jax skipped rope with her hair.
- [laughs]
- You can't get any more drag than that.
- That kind of thinking is my favorite kind of ridiculous.
- Yeah.
- She put everything into this--
the little attitude, the little around-the-way girl thing.
I loved it.
Loosey LaDuca.
- This really sucks because I love Loosey, and I feel
like this was--oh, my God. "I Love Lucy."
OK. - Oh, cute.
- This is another case where execution
just fell to the back seat.
And you can tell that there's this extraordinary
talent there.
- Singing live was not really an asset tonight because it
wasn't that kind of a song.
And she was pitchy.
- She is a fantastic queen.
The problem is it just wasn't memorable enough.
- I took a Loosey LaDuca once.
- Did you?
- Yeah, it was after bad shrimp.
[laughter]
- All right. [claps] Silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
[laughter]
- Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
[tense music]
Marcia Marcia Marcia,
you came here with a crush on Ross.
But after this week, we're obsessed with you.
Anetra, bitch, you are quackers.
Jax, tonight you really got this joint jumping.
Anetra, condragulations.
You are the winner of this week's challenge.
[cheers and applause]
You've won a cash prize of $5,000.

I mean, thank you. Sorry. [laughter]
Winner, winner. I am a duck-walking
mother[bleep] winner.
Baby, I'm about to walk this duck
all the way to the [bleep] finale and get this crown.

You may join the other girls.

you're safe.
- Thank you so much.
I'm not gonna let you down again.
And I promise not to hold myself back.
- You may join the other girls.
- Thank you.
Good luck, baby.
- Irene Dubois, Amethyst,
I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.
- I'm devastated.
But I'm absolutely not going down without a fight.
- Two queens stand before me.
Prior to tonight, you were asked
to prepare a lip sync performance of "7 Rings"
by Ariana Grande.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save
yourself from elimination.
The time has come for you to lip-synch
for your life.
[suspenseful music]
- I learned the lyrics to this song the day it came out.
[laughs] I'm quite the Ariana fan, so I'm
feeling really scared to lip-synch
her song in front of her.
But at the same time, I'm here to fight,
and I'm here to prove why I'm America's Next Drag Superstar.
- Good luck.
And don't [bleep] it urp.

but you'll be in our hearts forever and a day.
Now, sashay away.
- Thank you all.
[applause]
Well, I may not have won the crown.
[laughter]
Being told to sashay away is not a thrilling experience.
I wasn't expecting to go home first.
I don't think it was necessarily my time to go.
But I won the first Mini Challenge,
so at least I won something.
I wish that I could have gotten to show the world
a little bit more of what I have to offer,
but I'm very happy with who I am.
And I think that, despite the fact
that I was only here for a short time,
that will still come through.

And remember, if you can't love yourself, how the hell
you gonna love somebody else?
Can I get an amen up in here?
all: Amen.
