I'm the skanky alternative girl from Seattle.
Hi, beauty.
I'm Bosco.
- Bosco, nice to meet you. I'm from Puerto Rico.
- Lovely, I'm from Seattle! The demon queen of Seattle.
- Bosco looked like a angry Minnie Mouse for me. Yeah.
You are the devil of the season?
- I would say so. - Ooh.

I've done like Sylvia Plath, spoken word, numbers.
I've done Lady Gaga, Brittany, mega mixes.
I've done a lot of burlesque.
I feel like very like if the Teletubbies had a devil.
- Ooh, yeah. - Like I think that's kind of
what we're going for. - With the horns, yeah.
- I'm very competitive and I am saving room in my carry on
to bring the crown back with me to Seattle.

Ow!
America, don't just adjust your TV, I'm this fat in person.
Boom.
My name is Kornbread "The Snack" Jeté.
And honey, the bakery is officially open.
- Hi.
- It is hard for me to put in words how excited I am
walking into the workroom.
- Where are you based, Kornbread?
- LA, I'm a Los Angeles queen. - Oh, work.
- I was born in South Carolina but I'm like a LA drag queen.
- You are the hometown queen right now.
- Yeah, that way when they write my check,
they just can deliver it to me.
- Oh, baby, please.
- So what kind of drag do you?
What are you? A performer, dancer?
- I do everything, I am a very versatile queen.
- Oh shit ma'am.
Let me tell you, when people be like
they like to do everything,
they cut to them not doing everything, child.
- Oh, sorry, baker. - Nah, I'm kidding.
I'm excited to make sisters, I'm excited to make friends,
I'm excited to eat up all y'all craft services,
but baby, I'm trying to win.
- Oh?
- Where am I?
- Paris Hilton is here.
- My name is Willow Pill
and I'm an adorably twisted little doll.
- The fucking shirt says angle.
- Every Willow look as a different story
and this girl just wants money and jewelry and hot dogs.
- I think she went in the wrong show.
- Willow's look...
- Ooh, girl, I think she left her shoes
at the hotel.
- We got the pool sandals.
- They said California,
she thought they meant the beach.
- Hi, children of the Lord.
- Oh my goodness. - Hi, girl.
- Oh my God, I'm the devil to your angle.
Come here. - Aw.
- I'm Willow. - Hi, Kornbread.
I like those shoes.
Comfy couture.
- Are you playing right now like Paris Hilton?
- Oh, no, no, no. - Are you always blonde?
- This is completely me.
- Oh, that's completely, oh okay!
This is just your natural style?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Oh, okay.
- Tell us about you, Willow.
I done talk to these hoes too much.
- I have not been in drag in like over a year.
- What? - Because of COVID.
So this is my big dip back into drag,
so we'll see how it goes.
- You should be the most confident
when you came in here in them fluffy shoes.
- Yeah.
- Oh shit, glasses.
- Sorry, baby.
Well.
- So what is your aesthetic?
- I see that, the little angel.
Oh, again. Baby, what's happening?
- Sis, just put them in your purse.
You gonna have to just let that spirit go.
Miss Willow, baby, is just a little bit nervous.
Shaking in her boots
or flip-flop.
- I have one thing to say.
Baby, you already know every kiss begins with a K.
- I am Kerri Colby and I am here
to be your new viral obsession.
My drag style and aesthetic is very bodacious.
Big boobs, no waist, big butt.
I am wearing the transgender flag colors,
so I'm letting people know who I am
from my hair down to my toes, bitch.
I am white, blue, and pink.
- Oh my gosh, Kerri is like,
it's like looking in the sun
and it hurts my eyes because she's so gorgeous.
- Hi! - Miss thing!
Miss thing! How are you? - Oh my God.
- Kornbread is my Good Judy.
I know her from LA, she's an LA sister.
- I am so excited to see you,
it's about to be a full on key.
- Aunties anonymous, honey.
- Are you doing pageants before?
- I have not done pageants, but my drag mother,
she won continental.
- Oh, what is your drag mother?
- Sasha Colby. - Sasha Colby. Shit
- My drag mother is pretty well known to the community.
She's an amazing performer.
And she is a Miss Continental winner.
- I can't stop looking at you.
- Oh my God, thank you!
Look all you want.
- Girl, take it in.
- I definitely feel eyes on me.
They seem to be eating up that Kerri fantasy.
I mean, stare some more if you want.
- Grab a fork, ladies, Jambalaya is served.
Bitch, that's June.
- Hello everyone, I'm June Jambalaya.
Imagine if Megan the Stallion
had a baby, that's June Jambalaya.
She is southern, savage,
she has on her Emilio Pucci jumpsuit.
I am ready to sprinkle seasoning all up
and through this bitch.
- June! - Hello!
- If they don't let you in the damn building, bitch.
June and I definitely go back.
That's my sister, I love her, super talented,
and a label whore.
June will spend money on some damn stuff,
she don't care if it fit or not,
June gonna buy it.
- I see ass, honey.
- Yeah, just know it's real.
- We got a whole country meal in here, bih,
get June Jambalaya and the Kornbread.
- You eat it together.
- And we eating on the beach with her shoes.
- I'm here, and in the words of Effie White,
you gonna love me.
- Team chunky.
- Baby thicker than a snicker.
- Yes honey, more curves than a race track.
- What am I hearing?
Was that a whistle tone? shit
- Hello RuPaul?
Yes, we've been trying to reach you
regarding your car's extended warranty.
Oh, perfect.
Well then I just have one more question for you.
Are you ready, boots?
- Opening paragraph.
- My name is Orion Story
and I am west Michigan's premiere femmebot.
I wanted to start off with a bang,
starting obnoxious and crazy
and show these girls that I did not come to play.
- Hi!
- Don't worry, it's not a real burger.
In and out. - Oop.
- Tell us about you, who are you?
Where are you from, and all that good stuff.
I'm from Grand Rapids, Michigan,
the first girl representing Michigan.
- Nice.
- So I'd say I'm pretty campy.
I love puppets, I love bright colors.
The best way that I could describe Orion Story
is if you took Barbarella, put her on a runway
in the middle of the Sesame Street.
- I'm living for the silhouette, body, everything.
- I made everything that I'm wearing.
- Yes!
- You're giving me a little bit like Lana Del Ray vibe.
- I get that a lot.
- Ooh girl!
She done already done had herses.
- That alarm sounded a little early.
That immediately tells me it's going to be a one, two punch.
- There's only seven of us,
so clearly this is a split premiere.
- All right, half and half.
Here we go.
I feel good about they're splitting us up.
They're only being seven of us gives me plenty of time
to like grab the spotlight.
- My queens!
Welcome to RuPaul's Drag Race.
A magical place, no doubt, where you can go tuck yourself
or let it all hang out.
So open your heart and take a deep drive,
'cause queens you better pop that pussy
if you want to survive.
Hello hello hello!
My queens, you made it.
Welcome to the season premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Now drag race is all over the world, but I gotta say,
I can't get enough of that original recipe, honey.
American, charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent?
Mm, mm, mm, finger lickin' good!
Now, to get to know each of you better,
we are introducing the season 14 queen over two episodes
and you are the first to arrive.
- Fresh out the oven, girl.
But don't be doing no half stepping
because the competition starts now.
And before this premiere episode is over,
one of you will sashay away.
What does that upset you?
Well don't get mad!
Get everything.
- Kaching!
- Now for our first big opening,
I want to kick things off with a freaky photo shoot.
Are y'all ready for your closeup?
- Yes, Mr. De Vil.
- I'll be the judge of that.
- Oh shit.
Let's go.
- It just got real.
I am shitting bricks, it is nerves.
I am shaking the scribble on a Friday night, honey.
- Coming up.
- I'm going up there?
- What the fuck kind of wheel of fortune shit is this.
- Alyssa Hunter.
- Hello! - Hey, lady!
Say hello to celebrity photographer Albert Sanchez.
- Hi!
- For today's photo shoot,
you need to serve face, face, face,
and you'll be doing it on this spinning grand finale
lip sync smack down for the crown wheel.
- What?
I am freaking out right now.
- We will decide if your face will belong there.
- My first time here and I'm going to die in the first day.
Oh my God. - Yes pit crew, strap her in!
- This is crazy.
- When's the last time you had two men put you in a harness?
- Last night, oh nah, I'm just kidding.
- Now of course your cameras out here.
We're going to start the spin.
- Oh, I don't know how about this?
- Release the kraken.
And here we go, model, model!
Ooh, spin that wheel! Spin that wheel!
Yes!
Can you go a little faster?
- Baby, I feel like hurricane Maria,
spinning all the round and round, woo woo!
I don't see anything right now.
I only see RuPaul's face like this.
Tookoo tookoo tookoo tookoo.
- Yes, honey, you are rose killing it!
Yes! Fantastic!
June Jambalaya!
- I'm going up there?
- You're going up there.
- Oh, okay!
I'm about to get harnessed up on this thing
and spin my big ass around like a goddamn ferris wheel.
- All right, so let's turn some looks.
Yes June, let them have it.
What she got in that Jambalaya?
I know she got some mango, she got some ham,
she got some celery.
- That's not Jambalaya.
- I don't know what's in Jambalaya!
Please welcome to the wheel: Willow Pill.
It's a wittle itty bitty pill.
You want a big pill or you want a wittle pill?
Hi Willow Pill!
- Hello RuPaul. - You are a wittle pill.
- Very little one.
- Fellas, would you help her up?
Spin that wheel, pit crew! - Woo!
- Yeah, party!
- I feel like I'm going to throw up, first of all.
My hair's going everywhere and my panties are coming out.
- Oh, I think I can see your religion.
- But I thrive at being thrown around.
That sounded really dirty, but.
- Woo, you was like a young Angeline!
Orion Story.
Let's see how grand your rapids are.
- The wheels are spinning, physically, and in my head.
Let's see, you have a glamorous headache.
Now stroke those handles.
Orion, the greatest story ever spun.
Do you ever have vertigo, Bosco?
- No but I've been told that my head's great.
Out of drag I look like a piece of peeled string cheese,
but in drag, I know how to make it work.
- Face, face, face.
What was the hardest part of doing this?
- Me.
- Keep calm and Kerri Colby.
Let's go around the world, round the world with Kerri Colby.
- Ah! - Yes, work that camera!
- What the fuck kind of wheel of fortune shit is this?
I am not a ferret or a rabbit or a hamster.
None of the above.
I am not a ferret, I don't think they run around on wheels.
But I'm not one.
- She looks like Spinda Evangelista.
Kornbread with a K.
Spin that wheel! Spin that wheel!
Come on, Kornbread!
Yes, Kornbread-- oh, Kornbread you're stuck--
Oh Kornbread's turning this shit around!
Kornbread just turned that damn thing all.
- Wait, is that me spinning it back down?
Bitch, I thought that was.
- Kornbread just turned back time.
My queens!
- Yas!
- Now you all did a really good job.
The winner of today's mini challenge is.
Kerri Colby!
- Girl, I'm excited as hell that I won.
I thought that all of them pictures is gonna be.
- You've won a cash prize of $2,500, courtesy of JJ Malibu.
- Damn, okay.
- Now my queen, if you thought that was dizzying,
just you wait.
For your very first maxi challenge, we're putting on a show.
You will be performing at the prestigious,
Charisma, Nerve, and Talent Show.
The CNTs.
For the only thing that's missing is you.
Take a minute to figure that out.
Brought to you by RuPaul's drag race, Werq the World Tour.
Tickets on sale now, at vossevents.com.
So ladies, whether you sing, dance, or decoupage,
this is your chance to let the world see what you do best.
- Yes, honey, a talent show!
We love to see it.
What's going to really separate the girls who have it
and the girls who don't.
- All right racers, start your engines
and may the best drag queen win.
- The game has begun, y'all.
We are at the top of the rollercoaster
and this shit is about to drop.
- Coming up. - Get this shit off of me!
- Hi!
- Oh shit!
- Where is the pit crew?
We did the first mini challenge, the lease is signed, honey,
we are moving in the workroom.
- I knew you was a top, June, I knew you was a top, bitch.
- I'm excited to get out of drag because you know,
this is where you really get to see who girls are,
'cause they look real pretty
with the foundation on their face,
but what y'all look like up under here.
- Ugh, get this shit off of me!
- Wow.
Bosco has the biggest transformation.
I do not recognize her at all.
- That's your real hair?
- Yeah!
- Wow, love it!
Love it, gimme some whip.
To me, the hottest in the group of drag,
obviously it's me.
Just kidding, just kidding.
Hi! - Oh shit!
- How are you guys?
- That's from Puerto Rico.
- Damn.
Hey miss Alyssa.
- Now she willing, now she willing.
- Where the goddamn,
I knew it up under there.
- She gonna be your slice of cornbread.
- When I say that is a handsome Latin man,
I would say, "Oh!
Como estas, como estas! Hola!"
- Jesus Christ, you went from a grown woman to 12.
Miss Willow went from somebody's cook at home housewife
to a child right in the magic on my face.
I am gooped, gagged, and gandered.
- You look like five years old, bitch.
- Oh, thank you! - Bitch, isn't the age limit,
what was the age limit?
I was about to call CPS,
'cause I said somebody is missing their kid up in here.
- Wait, how old are you?
- I'm 26.
- Okay, all right, we'll allow that.
- These queens were already underestimating
my entrance looks and now they see me out of drag,
they're underestimating me even more.
I have all the surprises in the world
in store for these girls.
So what's everyone doing for their talent show number?
- Oh, competitive eating.
I'm not even joking. - You're not joking?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm ready to see it.
- I'ma try to eat 120 hot dogs in 60 seconds.
- Ooh, that's a talent, bitch!
- What the fuck are you doing tomorrow?
- I'm a hundred percent eating, eating hot dogs.
- They believing it, but the Bread not doing that Ms. Thing.
I will be lip syncing to my original song,
but I'm about to eat they ass up on the stage.
- Hey dolls!
I'm here to do some talent scouting.
All right, Kerri Colby, I own 51% of this company.
- Hello? How are you?
- I'm doing great, were you aware of the show
The Colby's and Dynasty when you chose your name?
- Yes! My grandmother who designed the house of Colby
based it off of the Dynasty Colby's from the 80s.
Yes, I had to reach.
My drag house is the Colby Dynasty.
It's a drag family that originates from Hawaii.
All of them are sickening performers,
and I'm so ready to show that I am
one of the fiercest Colby's in the house.
- Where are you from originally?
- I'm originally from Dallas, Texas.
- You don't have a Southern accent.
- My mom growing up was very on top of me when it came to
how I spoke.
I wasn't really allowed to speak too twangish.
- Your mom sounds like quite the taskmaster.
Are you still friends with her?
- It's complicated, but she's super evangelical,
she's Pentecostal.
- Really? - Yeah.
- So tell me about your talent.
- I'm going to be doing something I used to do competitively
when I was 14, doing jump roping.
- That sounds fun, like double dutching?
- I did use to do that,
but I'm going to be doing kind of like a single showcase.
- What got you into that?
- I was homeschooled and my mom wanted me to stay active
and there was a jump rope team at a place called
Shady Shores Elementary.
I know.
And I picked it up, got better and better,
and within the end of that year,
they enrolled me in the nationals competition.
- From Shady Shores to the nationals.
- Period. - I love it.
- Jump roping, it was something that like brought me joy
in a time of a lot of chaos.
- Thank you Ms. Kerri Colby.
- Bye!
But it's going to be tricky
because I have not touched a jump rope in about 10 years.
- All right, June Jambalaya, come on over.
How would you categorize your style of drag?
- June is clatchet.
- She's clatchet? - Classy-ratchet.
- All right, I can get with that.
Where are you from, June?
- Jacksonville, Florida.
- And you live in Los Angeles now?
- I live in LA, I've been here eight years.
- What brought you out here?
- I transferred from Orlando to go to school
for fine arts here.
Musical theater, dance, vocal
but I think dance was like what stuck with me.
- You mean dance, don't you?
- Dance, darling.
- So what's your talent going to be?
- African dance.
- Oh, that's going to be interesting!
Is that going to be your edge over the other girls?
- Yeah, it is, let me not be shy, it is.
I can't have a name like Jambalaya
and come out there giving the people white rice.
That just ain't gonna happen.
- Well, you have fun out there.
- I need to pull out all my big black girl magic
and deliver tomorrow.
- Orion Story.
You fancy yourself a drag Daniel boon?
- Yeah, like a dandelion?
- Like a dandelion boon.
It's very interesting watching your audition tape,
very introspective.
- Absolutely.
- Where's that come from? You spend a lot of time alone?
- Yeah, growing up, my family was super dysfunctional.
So I spent a lot of time in my room by myself,
just crafting, making my own clothes,
and like recreating red carpet looks and stuff.
So tell me about your talent.
- I thought I was going to do a little comedy skit,
kind of aerobics trailer park fantasy.
- Well, just make sure that when you get out there
on that stage, you are full throttle.
I can't wait and see the story unfold before our very eyes.
Thank you.
Alright, Willow Pill.
- Hi Ru!
- Now you're an oddball, aren't ya?
- I think so.
- Do you have a tribe of people?
- I do, I think honestly, Yvie helped me find my odd side.
- Yvie Oddly, and how did you meet Yvie?
- I met her at my very first drag show that I did.
And I got to know her when I actually made
a little documentary about her for college.
- Where'd you get your sense of humor?
- Darkness.
- Darkness, that's always the case, isn't it?
- It is. - Tell me about your darkness.
- I grew up chronically ill my whole life
and there was just a lot of trauma there and I thought,
"Why not make it funny?"
- Exactly. What is your chronic illness?
- It's called cystinosis
and then it just blocks your kidneys and your eyeballs
and your fingers, - Wow...
- and it grows little crystals in your eyes.
It's very glamorous.
- Oh my goodness, I'm having fun with Willow Pill.
So what are you going to do for your talent?
Are you going to get up on stage and shoot a documentary?
- I'm actually going to do like a mix of a lip sync
and a self care tutorial.
- Okay!
- For my talent, I want to tell a story about me.
My drag is very chaotic
and I don't know if people are going to understand it.
So fingers crossed?
It'll be funny.
- Oh, I'll be the judge of that.
All right, I'll see you out there.
- Willow Pillow, seems like, I don't know what she's doing.
For her talent, I feel worried about her.
- Willow Pill.
- Oh, it's not pillow?
Pillow or pill.
- Willow Pill. - Oh, it's Willow Pill.
Oh shit, I thought it was Willow Pillow.
Oh my God.
Sorry!
- All right, ladykins, gather around.
Tomorrow, we will be joined by
our extra special guests judge:
Lizzo.
- Oh my God!
- Bitch, I am the number one Lizzo impersonator
here in LA, I coined that title myself.
So baby, I'm excited!
- Oh, and a gentle reminder that tomorrow
I will be asking one of you to sashay away,
because I am 100% that bitch.
- Period!
- Lizzo is literally bout to be sitting
right in front of me.
I'm gonna be spitting bars in front of
one of my biggest idols so no pressure, no pressure at all.
- Coming up.
- Hey queens!
Look over there!
- Nuh uh, something ain't right.
- It's a new day, people, let's get to it!
- It's time to hurry up and get ready for this talent show.
- Time to paint.
- I am thrilled and I am very excited.
There's a few butterflies in my stomach.
No tea, no Asia O'Hara.
I gotta get my spirit together.
- Ooh, girl where'd you get that from?
- Girl, I brought my own smudge.
This is some sage spray, 'cause of the spirits.
Bitches like to bring demons, hoe.
- The demons run from that, child.
- Baby, how are we feeling about talent show?
- Super excited, ready, you know?
- Yas, are you playing an instrument?
- Yeah, I play the guitar.
I love rock n' roll.
I think this rock n' roll kind of thing, mentally.
So it's very different.
And you, how are you feeling?
- I'm feeling really cute about my act,
I'm very comfortable with the routine,
but there's a lot of moving parts.
For the talent show, I will be doing burlesque.
Something that I really like to do with my acts
is combine sexy with a little bit of stupid,
it like really cement the fact that I'm in on the joke.
They're eventually going to be like 14 of us,
like what can you do right now to catch their attention?
This is my chance to set the pace for this set of girls.
- Oh, you're from Texas originally, yeah?
- I'm from Dallas, Texas.
- Hold on, bitch, 'cause miss Bread is up here
doing something with these brows.
- Kornbread makes me feel so comfortable.
We bring up the auntie in each other.
- Wet met in the little bar, honey, with each other.
- We did.
There was a night in LA that we were both hosting at a club,
and very quickly I was like, "This bitch is like,
from my same galaxy."
It touched my spirit. - Yeah.
- It was one of those spirit touching moments.
- You know the spirit, hoe.
- Baby, me too.
It took me coming to LA
in learning that the south needs Jesus,
even though they think they--
- Even though they think they--
- They think they have Jesus,
but I don't know what kind of Jesus they got.
- I grew up in the church scene very much.
- Same.
- I remember when I was in church one time
and the pastor brought me up, like in front of everybody.
- Oh they love to embarrass.
- It was terrible. - They put on a show.
- And he was like pushing my stomach, and was like,
"You got a lot of demons," and all this bull shit,
and was like pushing me, bitch, and I'm just like
"You trying it but I'm a very petty human being."
And so he was just pushing them and pushing and pushing
and bitch, I let out a demon and I farted right on his ass.
I shit you not.
- Wait, wait!
- Because he was pushing me.
- I'm so glad you did that though.
- Absolutely, 'cause you can kiss my ass,
you not about to make me feel no kind of way.
- Ooh girl, she done already done had herses.
- You've got to be kidding me.
- Is that RuMare I hear?
I'm like, "Nuh uh, something ain't right."
- Oh my God.
- Hey queen, it's me, Lizzo.
Look over there!
Hi my friends, hey!
Hi y'all!
It's me, Lizzo!
- I know, bitch!
- I can't believe Lizzo is in front of my face
and I look so half-baked.
- I went rogue, I don't have much time.
Congratulations, first of all. - Thank you!

- I'ma have to make it good as hell.

- Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Michelle, what'd you think of my new song Catwalk?
- That was great! Do it again!
- Shut up.
The hilarious Ross Matthews,
are you enjoying my big opening?
- Oh Ru, I'm flattered and you know I love a big opening,
but I'm taken!
- You're engaged, mazel tov!
- Yay!
- Oh, that's fabulous.
- Thank you.
- And the incredible Lizzo!
I heard you snuck into the workroom.
- Oh, all the rumors are true Ru.
You see what I did there?
- Well, I sure hope my girls were decent.
Oh hell no, but that's why I love me some drag queens, hoe.
- Come on, Thunder Dome.
Racers, start your engines and may the best drag queen win.
Welcome to the Boscos,
brought to you by RuPaul's Drag Race Werq the World Tour.
First up, June Jambalaya.
- Ooh!
Come on, bitch!
- She is fierce.
- Yas!
- I live with the energy that Ms. June gives.
But baby, that hairband keep on falling over her face.
- Was it perfect? No!
Did I deliver a talent? Yes.
- Up next, Bosco.
- Give me some roses!
- Ooh, come on, you glitter clit.
Woo, yeah!
Take it off! Yes!
Bosco told us she was gonna be naked,
but I didn't know she was gonna get naked like that.
- Give it up for Alyssa Hunter.
♪ Used to make me dizzy
♪ Who used to drive me crazy
- This is very different from who I am.
From this beauty queen, to this metal kind of rock and roll
kind of, aaa.
This is a competition and I need to take risks.
♪ A little bedlam
- Wait a minute, ain't no cord on that guitar.
♪ One, two, three, four
- She said she was playing the guitar, not playing guitar.
- Up next, Kerri Colby.
♪ I'm on some dumb shi

- There we go! Jump it in.
♪ Don't, my Anaconda don't,
♪ Oh my gosh, look at her butt
♪ I got a big fat
- Miss Kerri was great, if I saw that at the club,
I would absolutely give her my money.
- Coming up.
- They call this the horndog corndog.
Please welcome Orion Story.
- Sorry I'm late, class.
I found a couple of pills in the bottom of my purse
and I rested my eyes for a couple of days.
But, my name's Two Stroker, number one aerobics instructor
and all of Whispering Oaks trailer park.
Yes, hold your applause.
Well, we don't have much time left in class today.
I'm sorry, I dropped the ball on that one.
But I want to leave you all with one important position
that's going to tone the thighs, strengthen the arms,
and it's going to lift the girls.
I call this one, the Stroker 5000.
- Ooh.
- Fun fact, in South America they call this
the horn dog corn dog.
Now you're gonna get real tight
and you're going to stroke back and forth.
- Orion, I'm a little bit confused.
- Can go a little faster, but I'm not going to
'cause I got a hot shit in the chamber.
- Oh my God!
- And I guarantee if you do this three hours a day,
you're going to feel 30 years younger.
When it doubt, stroke it out.
- All right.
- I know she wrote it herself, but maybe she should have,
you know, got a ghostwriter to help.
'Cause it's not bad, it's just not good.
- Up next, it's Kornbread with a K.
♪ Finna drop like a meal
♪ Season 14, you know the deal
♪ Pump, pose, gas up the stove
- And then Kornbread does this.
She is everything.
- All right y'all, she ain't no big pill.
She's a Willow Pill.
♪ Where the day flows
♪ Only time
♪ As your heart chose
♪ Only time
- What the am I looking at?
♪ As your heart chose
♪ Only time
Oh, whoa!
Oh my God!
- I know I talked shit bout your flip flops,
but baby, I understand Willow now.
That was chaotic in the best way possible.
♪ Tonight is your runway
- Tonight on the runway, category is:
signature showstopping drag.
Up first, June Jambalaya.
Now you've heard of June Gloom, this is June glam.
- Ooh.
- Y'all know. Ms. June love a jumpsuit, babies.
I got a train on my left and my right shoulder.
Honey, these hips and ass is sitting.
This is hot Southern girl shit.
- I can see her glitoris.
- Bosco.
- Do I make you horny, baby?
- This is pretty quintessential Bosco.
It's a little bit of Mugler, a little bit lovecraftian.
It's like if Dita Von Teese went to hell and took over.
My horns are up here.
- And up here.
- Alyssa Hunter.
- Alive and doing more.
- Right now, I give you all the whole
My Fair Lady fantasy.
This is ostrich feathers, not chicken feathers, baby.
I just wanted to show that I can be a pageant queen,
but at the same time, I can be a fierce queen.
- Opulent.
- Yeah. - You owe everyone.
Kerri Colby from Colby Co.
- Oh, did you get that at K-mart?
- I am a Leo queen.
So you definitely can peek the lions.
They are stoned out because I am all about that drama.
I'm feeling my rich bitch fantasy.
I'm just giving you everything you need,
I'm warming you up on a winter evening.
- Bye Fur-lecia.
- Orion Story.
- Somebody get her some Benadryl, please.
- This look is me to a T.
I saw this fabric and I thought mushroom.
I rip off my mushroom cape,
and I have my three breasts exposed.
I really just want to give the judges a full, sexy,
weird cartoon fantasy.
- Well, you know what they say.
Third boobs a charm.
I hope you're hungry, Kornbread with a K.
- Uh, Lizzo?
She coming for your gig, girl.
- Yeah, bitch stole my look!
- Right now, the Bread done put the menu
on the table, honey.
A lot of people tell you as a big person,
you need to cover yourself up.
Baby, I'm letting it all hang out.
My drag is fat, black, and uncomfortable.
And I am every last one of those things right now.
- Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
- She's not a big pill,
she's a Willow Pill.
- This queen is still a little green.
- I wanted to do a look at that
has a little bit of Willow in all of it.
It's colorful, and it's that perfect combo of glamor
with just a touch of ugly.
- Hey Willow, how's your head phones?
Coming up.
- You got me hooked.
- I fucking loved it.
- You make me very uncomfortable.
You are here because you are great.
And tonight, all of you were very entertainting.
And if you want to win, you'll take our notes
and continue to grow.
Now it's time for the judges critiques.
Up first, June Jambalaya.
- You came out and showed us you have something to say
and I thought it was beautiful.
I thought it was meaningful,
but you were focusing on your headband
that was falling down over your eyes.
We saw, I think, control top pantyhose underneath.
Were there shorts on under there?
- It was biker shorts.
- Also tonight on the runway,
I can see the dark shorts on under this as well.
- Tights.
- Make sure you watch those little details.
The finishing touches are going to matter too.
So think about those.
- Are you having a moment right now?
When you walked out here, I felt you.
When you bring culture into your talent,
it makes me want to know more about you.
You and your pussy willows you had on.
Was those pussy willows?
- Girl, I don't know what it was.
I asked for a little jungle feel,
I said a look coming to America.
Well keep bringing the pussy willows.
You're a beautiful soul.
- Thank you so much.
- Up next, we've got Bosco.
- I love the name Bosco.
- Thank you.
- My drag name is Costco.
- Oh!
- I love burlesque because it's always so playful.
Removing a pedal at a time, he loves me, he loves me not
was just so whimsical.
- You've got glamor, you've got fashion,
you've got beauty.
You know how like Marilyn Monroe
was like the face of a generation,
but she was also like a fucking comedic genius.
That is that spark that I kind of see in you.
You're great, you made my earring fall off, bitch,
I like you.
- Is that Bluetooth?
- Can you hear me now?
- Up next, Alyssa Hunter.
- Hola!
- I love that you did a rock song.
- Thank you.
- I thought it was just something we don't see a lot here.
- It was, however, a bit one note.
I just think it was a little flat.
- You look fucking incredible right now,
but I thought I knew who you were and now I'm like,
"I don't know who the fuck you are."
- Your number should have been designed
to get to know who you are and go,
"Ah, I know that girl and I love that girl!"
That's what we're looking for.
Up next, Kerri Colby.
- Howdy.
- When you came out and you were doing Nicki Minaj
you were just lip syncing, right?
As soon as you picked up the jump rope, that was next level.
I wish you would've gotten to a little sooner.
- It was really impressive.
I just wanted you to go full stupid.
To let yourself go.
- I really liked the look today because it's branding
and that's what this is, it's a billboard.
I know that your Kerri because K, K, K, K, K, K.
- I'm glad you got a lot of Ks, 'cause
baby, if it was just three of them.
- Thank you, Kerri.
- Thank you.
- Up next, Orion Story.
- You make me very uncomfortable.
I don't know what's happening, three titties?
- Which one?
- No, please, I'm already triggered enough.
- She's triggered by the boobs,
I'm triggered by look like you've been picking cotton.
- Oop, Ru!
- Let's talk about your character.
First of all, I want to give you credit for
attempting to do something different.
I think it needs to be workshopped a little bit more.
- You've got beat fearlessness,
and so it's just been the structure.
You got to have joke after joke and joke after joke
and they gotta land.
- Up next, Kornbread with a K.
- Tonight, listen, the look itself is really beautiful.
You chose to go baldheaded with a wrap-on, which I love,
but I think this needs some kind of height,
because it squashes you.
So what you want to do is proportionize.
Also there are some holes in your fish nets.
So we got to watch those things and think about details.
- Yes ma'am.
- Let's talk about what I'm assuming is your song.
- Yes.
The problem for me was I couldn't understand a lot of it.
We're getting every fifth or sixth word.
- Don't be coming from my girl, Kornbread!
Understood everything you said!
I love the song, you were funny as hell.
- Thank you.
- Listen, I speak black folks,
and I think I understood a little bit more
than what Michelle was understanding.
- You're a superstar.
- What are you feeling?
- This has been a dream of mine for the longest,
and I'm not a person that cries, I'm a thug.
I'm not a person that cries like that, but it's just like,
there's so much happening in the best way possible.
- You're getting confirmation of something
that you already knew your whole life,
but other people couldn't see it.
Now you're in a place where people can actually see
what makes you so fantastic.
Well done tonight.
- Thank you.
- Up next, not big pill, Willow Pill.
- This isn't my favorite look up here.
I don't like the Kermit the Frog hands.
- Like my skin is crawling even looking at you
with this color on your body.
It's like.
But I thought your talent was so fun.
- I still couldn't tell you what I saw,
but I love that you brought it here.
You got me hooked.
- I got it, and I fucking loved it.
I come from that world of drag.
You are incredible.
You showed us the absurdity of all the things
people take so seriously.
You told me about throughout your life
you've had health issues.
- I've gone through kidney failure and dialysis
and transplants, but sometimes I feel like
I'm just swallowed in the darkness that's when my head
and to translate it into humor
and have you understand?
That just means everything to me.
- You are here today, living proof that
laughter is the answer.
I'm very proud of you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you ladies, I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck in the workroom,
the judges and I will deliberate.
All right now, just between us girlfriends,
what do you think?
Starting with June Jambalaya.
I like June, she has heart, and she has depths.
Yes, there's a lot of polish that needs to happen.
- She brought her dancing skills
and her culture to this challenge,
but when it comes to details,
she's gotta step her pussy willows up.
- That is true.
- Amen.
- Bosco.
- Whereas June needs to pay more attention to the details,
I felt like Bosco has details on point.
- And she funny, y'all.
- She funny, uh oh, I'm scared.
- And she's definitely got her eye on
the fashion part of drag,
so she's going to be a really fun one to watch.
- Alyssa Hunter from Puerto Rico.
- The juxtaposition between the talent show and the runaway.
Probably more confusing than the toaster for me tonight.
Understand the assignment and have a through line.
- Tonight on the runway, however, she looked gorgeous.
She sold it, and I hope more of that is what turns up.
- Kerri Colby.
- When she picked up that jump rope, it was on.
She is so good at that.
And I love when we're surprised by talents.
- What she should've had done was come out here
with the jump rope from the get
because that's when it was interesting.
- Orion Story.
- This was a bit awkward tonight.
- What it was was this character workshop thing
that we all were part of.
She could be something very special, but
I mean, we're here.
- Now's the time.
- Time to let the hot one out of the chamber.
- Kornbread with a K.
- Kornbread might be one of the most naturally funny
people I've ever been around.
All I saw was a supernova in front of me.
- Kornbread delivered.
- Amen. - Hardcore Jiffy cornbread
with some syrup and butter, honey.
Kornbread is a star.
Willow Pill.
- She gave us performance art.
- All we can ask ourselves at this point
is if we want to see more.
Bitch yes, I want to see more from her.
- She breaks the fourth wall
of what humans are doing on this planet.
It's the exact same thing that
Monty Python's flying circus did.
They did mundane things and they make fun of everything else
that we all take seriously.
I love her.
Silence, RuPaul, I've heard enough.
- I'm so confused.
- Well.
- Bring back my girls.
I've made some decisions.
Bosco,
Willow Pill.
You are safe.
You may step to the back of the stage.
Kornbread.
I've got one thing to say.
Winner winner, chicken necklace.
Condragulations,
you are the winner of this week's challenge.
- Oh my fucking God!
- Yes!
- You've won a cash prize of $5,000.
- Oh, bitch better have my money!
Bitch, what the fuck?
I just won the first challenge of RuPaul's Drag Race,
I'm on top of the world.
Wow!
- Kerri Colby.
You are safe.
- Thank you.
- June Jambalaya.
Your dance was beautiful,
but the details got lost in the weeds.
Alyssa Hunter.
Your fashion was glam, but your performance did not rock.
Orion Story.
You have a lot of potential,
but your comedy routine just didn't work out.
Alyssa Hunter.
You are safe.
- Thank you very much.
- You may join the other girls.
- Thank you.
- June Jambalaya.
Orion Story.
I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.
- I refuse to let this be the end.
Oh no ma'am.
Two Queens stand before me.
I've consulted with the judges,
but the final decision is mine to make.
Prior to tonight,
you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance
of Water Me by Lizzo.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me
and save yourself from elimination.
The time has come for you to lip sync,
for your life.
- I'm going to turn out this lip sync the way I know how.
Balls to the wall and do what I know how to do,
which is perform.
- Good luck and don't fuck it up.
♪ I am free, yeah yeah
♪ Come water me, oh oh
♪ I am free, yeah yeah

- Period, bitch!
- Ladies.
I've made my decision
June Jambalaya, shantay, you stay
- Thank you.
Orion, your story is just beginning.
Now, sashay away.
- Well boots, it's time to start walking.
- Bye miss three titties. - Love you baby!
- We love you. - I love you.
I definitely did not see myself going home first,
but I think everyone back home will be proud of what I did.
I don't have a single regret.
I put up a good fight, but it wasn't enough.
- Condragulations, ladies.
Next week, it's an all new premier with seven new Queens
competing for the crown.
Until then, 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?
- Amen!
- All right, now let the music play.
- Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race.
- We survived week one, but we've got some next bitches
coming up to come take our spot.
I hope y'all hungry, to win.
- Oh my God!
- Hi!
- Alicia Keys!
- Welcome to the CNTs!
- Loved it, it was so good.
- You stood out.
I'm not sure if it was for all the right reasons.
- Please let me get out of this alive.
