- We are pausing our regular activities.
Girl, is it recording?
Okay, I'm taking over.
- Hoo, hoo, hoo, yeah. - Okay!
Welcome to "Untucked."
This is "Untucked."
Tell me something shady.
Oh, hey, girl.
- Time to go behind the scenes with the queens of season 17.
Edit that out.
- Because, honey, if you're not watching "Untucked"...
- You're only getting half the story.
This is not about the fabric!
Ooh-hoo.
Oh, this is gonna be a bitch to wear.
Spray paint-gate, girl.
It is what it is. I'm glad that I got over it.
I'm glad I didn't hold a grudge.
And I'm presenting something today
that I actually am proud of.
I love it. There was imperfections.
And now it's perfect.
It's ready to represent what Lexi Love truly is.
Way to block my shot.
Welcome, queens.
I've made some decisions.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Jewels Sparkles.
Lydia Butthole Kollins.
Onya Nurve.
Suzie Toot.
Kori King.
Lexi Love.
Ladies, you are all safe.
You may leave the stage.
- Hi, guys. Hello, kingdom.
Welcome back to my channel.
Um, we are safe.
We are safe.
We are here.
We have survived.
- We did it. - Mwah.
Hello, kingdom. How are you, honey?
How are you?
Hey, kingdom.
We are--we are--we're safe.
We made it. - And guess what, divas?
Someone's going home today.
- This is about to be a gag. - And it's not gonna be us.
- All right, kissies to my little baby fishies.
Mwah. Okay, bye.
We are set.
And the umpire said...
- Get me a couch. - Safe!
Get me a couch.
I am very proud of myself when it comes
to these design challenges.
I am not someone with extensive sewing experience.
And so I am happy to be in "Untucked"
and thrilled to be safe.
I have made it another week.
I have survived the sewing challenge.
I'm taking my wig off.
I'm celebrating.
Girl.
- I'm doing my Suzie dance, bitch.
- It's too much. It's too much.
- I don't know about you all, but I could not be happier
to be sitting back here. - I feel great.
You don't know though.
I feel the same fucking way.
Lexi, how do you feel, mama?
- Amazing to be here another week.
Yeah.
That feels good.
- Cheers to being happily safe, bitch.
Cheers.
- Cheers to being here one more week.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Your outfit was so sickening.
I am gagged you're not in the top.
- Lexi and I have been in the top in the first week.
But we didn't even get critiqued by the judges.
And I haven't been in the top for a design challenge,
which was kind of what I was expecting.
So for people at home watching and you're like, girl,
these girls are so annoying for complaining about being safe,
it is different when you're here,
and you actually are being safe,
and you've put your whole life into this craft.
And to continue fading into the background is horrifying.
It's actually horrifying.
And it's very stressful.
So just know and understand that
we're not being ungrateful.
Who's in the top?
Crystal.
It's Crystal, Sam, Arrietty.
- What? - Well, I don't know yet.
That's what we're saying.
Crystal, Sam, Arrietty, and Lana.
- I don't think Sam's was giving.
- But Sam's first two looks are also--were also fierce.
Yeah.
- The thing about Sam is, like...
That is true.
- Even if it's not the style we love, you can't read it
because it is perfect. - It is--
- Well, it's just the fact that it was really trash bags.
- I like to see the material in the challenge,
you know what I mean?
Yeah.
- Crystal's looks all throughout the ball
were sickening. - So good.
- Arrietty had my favorite swimsuit
and my favorite sea creature.
So fucking fierce.
- I think it's definitely between her
and Crystal, I think. - Her and Crystal.
- For sure. - I agree.
Lana's up there. - Right.
I think it might be Lana.
Lana's in the bottom?
- Based on her bikini and based on the final look,
they're just a little simple.
Oh, my God.
Lana Ja'Rae in the bottom?
- I mean, I think it's gonna be her.
Lana's swimsuit was--it was simple.
It's simple, but for me,
I think Lana's is like-- it's clean.
It's a look.
I feel like I could--
I see, like, someone wearing this.
With that being said, who is in the bottom?
Acacia.
Acacia and Hormona.
- Do you really think that Hormona
is in the bottom bottom?
- Girl! - Who else?
Who is your bottom? - Girl.
- Based off of this, I don't know.
Girl, I don't know.
Because I don't know.
- Hormona's sea creature look was the same silhouette
as her pink look and the "Monopoly" look.
- And Acacia was wearing feathers.
How are feathers in the ocean?
- Well, I mean, if you see them--
Thank you.
- If you see them, like, when they're underwater...
- No. - It looks like that.
- I do think--I know that it's a feather starfish.
- But it really does look like that underwater.
- No, no. - It can look--
But wait.
Regardless of there were feathers or not,
it was a bad look.
- I can't wait for the girls to come back.
- They're gonna come back steaming.
- No, but it's gonna be-- they're gonna be so mad, like--
- They're gonna be like, why were you not in the bottom?
They're like, you.
- Like, why were you not in the bottom?
- You... - I agree.
Were a little dry.
- I mean, you're already in the bottom.
I'm not gonna kick you. - Thanks, girl.
- And you, I don't even know how you're in the top.
Okay.
Like, I'm fucking irritated.
Greetings.
We are here in the "Untucked" lounge.
I am your hostess with the mostess chest hair, Kori King.
And I am here interviewing face queen Miss Sparkles.
Hi, America.
Oh, sorry. Excuse me.
- Get the mic, baby. - Hello, America.
It's me, Jewels Sparkles from "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 17.
- Now, we like to get intimate here in the "Untucked" lounge.
Are you ready to get intimate?
- I'm always ready to get intimate.
It's been a long time since I've been intimate.
So let's do it.
I can tell.
All right, so we have a--
so if anyone could go home tonight,
who would you want to see go home?
Ooh, okay.
It depends on who the bottoms are.
But if Hormona is indeed in the bottom,
since she's already been eliminated once,
I would say Hormona.
Should we go around the room asking
who should go home tonight and why?
- We are on the move here at the "Untucked" lounge.
Miss Onya Nurve, who should we send home tonight?
- I think that this might be Acacia's week.
Well.
- Only because I wasn't a fan of the blue.
Damn.
- And the sea creature look was lacking.
- We have the rootin' tootin' grandma of the season.
Give it up for Miss Suzie Toot.
Suzie how you feeling tonight?
I feel gorgeous.
Not too close.
- Who do y'all think should go home today and why?
Maybe not should, but I--
I said what I said.
- The angle on Suzie is so crazy.
- I think the person-- no, this is fucked up.
I think the person who probably did the worst in the ball...
- The person that did the worst.
Is Acacia.
- All right, we're just gonna take
a quick commercial break.
And we will be right back with Kori's "Untucked" lounge.
Thank you for coming.
Oh, Jorgeous.
- Oh, you were born for drag. You know that?
- Oh, they're coming. - Oh, they're coming!
I'm gonna hide.
We are here watching drag nature, if you will.
You are stupid.
- We are watching tops and bottoms
come into their natural--
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
How are we doing?
This is some mixed emotions.
Sam is feeling good.
- Yeah, bitch. I'm back on top.
Ow.
- We are literally, like, itching, scratching,
dying to know what happened.
No, because we have no idea.
- Me, Crystal, and Arrietty are in the top.
But wait, where's Lana?
- And then Lana, Hormona, and Acacia are in the bottom.
Okay.
Who do we think got the best overall critique?
Arrietty is gonna win.
This?
This is one of my favorite looks of the night.
- As far as the lionfish goes, that was incredible.
Yes!
- I mean, they loved me and Crystal's.
- It's giving me Colombian cocaine couture, but I love it.
- They thought the puffer fish was really different.
They loved my, like, Alexander McQueen shoes.
I saw the armadillo shoe.
And that shoe is iconic.
They loved this.
- With this look, it's pretty incredible
as far as creating silhouette.
Congratulations, you guys.
Because y'all ate. - Thank you, thank you.
For real.
I am back in the game.
Last week, my ass could have been packin'.
So of course I want this win.
I definitely have something to prove.
So Acacia, what did they say?
- They said the bathing beauties didn't fit well.
With this, they said that there's
too many of these, that I should have cut down a lot.
It feels a bit amateur to me.
They like the idea of this.
They just didn't think it was executed very well.
Okay. I'm sorry, diva.
Hormona?
- They said that I need to just take
more, like, risks and elevate.
- If you look around, it seems safe.
- We want drag. We want some drama.
Nature doesn't play it safe.
Nature says, you know what?
I got something for your ass.
Which I agree. I do.
I get into a silhouette or a color that I like.
You have a style.
- And then I have probably 12 wigs just
like this that are all pink.
And I wear them for every show.
So I get that.
That's completely applicable.
I'm in the bottom.
I did not anticipate this happening this week.
But that's how the stars aligned.
I'm already a very gassy star.
I don't think-- do stars do gas?
I think so.
Well, they liked my swimsuit.
Your first look was sexy.
I do like the little subtle nod to Tyla
at the Met Gala with the stamp of the sand hand on your butt.
- They did not see purple sea urchin for my sea urchin look.
I do understand that it could have more spikes.
They didn't like this look.
- I'm not sure why we have just a random piece
of netting on the leg.
I mean, it wasn't the best.
And I wasn't the best this week.
I asked for judges' critiques.
And I got judges' critiques.
And so now, I have to live with it.
Um, I do think I'm lip syncing this week.
But I don't know who it is between the two of them.
How are y'all feeling?
- Yeah, how are you guys feeling?
Acacia?
I mean--
You won a lip sync.
I did.
So hopefully, I'm with her again.
Because I know I can beat her.
Her, I don't know about.
I mean, I don't know.
It doesn't feel good.
Totally.
So, it just really sucks.
Hormona, are you okay?
Yeah.
It doesn't feel good, of course, you know, so.
- It would honestly break my heart
if I went home this early.
I hate that I have to, like--this is not
what I planned on doing coming on "Drag Race."
So it's kind of embarrassing.
Like, I feel like, week after week, I've come in this room.
And I'm like, oh, like, I'm safe again.
Like, I want judges' critiques.
And now that I've got judges' critiques,
I feel like I just looked like a fucking clown
on national television.
Because I'm saying, like, I'm this good drag queen
and I'm doing all these good things.
And that I'm this fashion queen.
And everyone thinks I'm this look queen.
And I fucking flop the ball.
It just doesn't make any sense.
So it's like, I'm embarrassing myself here.
It's fine.
I'm fine.
I wish there was a Badonka Dunk,
'cause I don't wanna send anybody home, but...
I don't want me saying, like, I'm not going home
to, like, come off to y'all or any type of way.
Like, it's nothing against y'all.
I'm just like, I can't go home.
Like, I can't.
I have too much to show.
I will absolutely be listening to Law Roach's critique.
- What's bothering me about your presentation right now--
you're not standing as if you have any confidence.
- You will only be seeing confidence from me here on out.
I may not have been able to deliver in this challenge.
But I know I can deliver in this lip sync
and prove why I deserve to stay in the competition.
- We don't need to give you another design challenge.
Hell no.
- If y'all give me another one and I don't win it,
death to all of them.
Hi, guys.
Hi!
Oh, my fucking God.
Can I come sit with y'all?
- Yes. - Okay, yay!
Yeah, Hunter!
I'm literally having, like, a panic attack in my brain.
I can feel the trans power radiating through the room.
I am so grateful that Hunter is gracing us
with her presence in this moment.
Oh, my God.
- How are y'all feeling? - Good, how are you?
- I feel great that you're here now.
Thank you.
- You're so gorgeous in person too.
Thank you.
- I love your work. - Oh, thank you.
- Like, watching you on "Euphoria"
was, like, one of the moments for me where I was like,
oh, my God, okay,
this could totally be some--like, it
was just very eye-opening. - Thank you.
- So yeah. - That means a lot.
- I'm a huge fan. - Aww.
- I hate to interrupt, but we have
a huge fan of yours in the building, Ms. Lexi Love.
Yes.
Oh, girl, hi.
Girl, hi.
Lexi is a huge fan.
Thank you.
You're everything.
Thank you, girl.
- Yeah, wait, do we have any dolls?
Is dolls tea? - Us two.
Over here.
Oh, this is the doll table.
The doll table.
Oh, my God.
Wow. Damn.
Thanks for being here representing.
No, thank you.
Seriously.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
To the doll.
- Cheers to all y'all. - Cheers.
To the dolls!
- Wait, I don't have a drink. - Cheers.
To the doll.
- You are such an inspiration, like, for trans women,
but just queer people in general.
Thank you.
Just, like, I'm so--
I have been so inspired by your journey and your story.
Thank you.
- You are a model and you are an actress.
And you said this is-- you know, it's just...
- Doing it. - It's major.
- Yeah, I mean. - You're doing it.
- I mean, it's-- it's--it's cuckoo.
It's crazy. - Yeah, for sure.
- But I'm trying my best because we need it.
Absolutely.
- It's a little rough out here sometimes.
So I'm trying to do my best, but--
- You gave such great critiques.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, and you're so sweet.
It's hard.
I mean, especially without the context
of, like, the whole season, too,
it's hard to know what to say.
But I mean, y'all should be so proud of yourselves.
Thank you.
- It's three looks. - I know.
- Right. - That's wild.
How are y'all feeling?
How's it going? - We are--
- Exhausted. - Yeah.
- A lot of feelings going on today, for sure.
Yeah?
Yeah, like, is everything okay?
Drama? Or like--
Some of us are happy.
Some of us are sad.
There's a lot of feelings.
Because we were talking about,
this is just a group that is here to win.
And everybody wants to win and wants to be there.
- Well, someone's going home today,
which is crazy to think about.
- Just crazy. Thanks for bringing it up.
Sorry, sisters. Sorry.
- Wait, I wanna ask, what's your inspiration for this look?
Because you look stunning. - Yes.
- Thank you. - You look gorgeous.
Thank you.
I mean, for this, my stylist, Dara, and I,
we just had--we had to pull it together really fast.
And she had been partying with some people
at Jean Paul Gaultier.
And so she just hit them up.
And they offered us a few looks.
So this is archival 2010 JPG.
It's really--oh, it was crazy. Just--
Where are you from?
I hear, like, this accent, like you got--
- No, damn. - You got some--
Ru said that too.
- You got some seasoning on you, bitch.
Where are you from?
- I'm from North Carolina. - Period.
Okay.
Wait, are there Southern girls, Southern girls in here?
- I am. I'm from Tennessee.
From Tennessee.
Okay, my grandmother was from Tennessee.
- Oh, wow. - You clocked it.
Oh, my God.
I try to hide it because I hated the South.
So I did everything. - No, it's so cute.
- Listen, embrace it. - I love it.
- Because I used to do the same thing with my accent.
I was trying my hardest. - I know.
It's so cute. It's so cute.
- Now I don't give a damn. I don't.
- Before you go, can we take a group selfie?
- Oh, yes, of course. - Yes.
Everyone get close.
I'm getting behind you.
We could do it.
- Everyone in? - We'll see.
- Okay. - We'll see.
- Cheers. Cheers.
- Seeing Hunter as a guest judge and in "Untucked"
does so much for Lexi and I.
And I am just so grateful
and blessed and lucky to be here
and to be here in this moment.
Yes!
Bye, Hunter!
She looks stunning.
Yes!
I love her.
She's so beautiful.
She's so--she's so beautiful.
She's so gorgeous.
Aww, two gorgeous women. - I love her.
- Two gorgeous--aww, three gorgeous women.
But she was just so sweet.
- She was so-- she was a delight.
- Her genuine energy was just bleeding off of her.
Right.
- One of my drag daughters is trans.
And Hunter made me think of her and how proud I am of her,
because I know being trans is not easy.
And Hunter just reps the girls so hard.
And it made me happy.
Queens, five-minute warning.
- Oh. - Oh, we're on.
Oh, shit.
Already?
- I just wanna check in, see how you're doing in general.
I'm okay.
There's literally nothing you can do
but just, you know, rip the fuck out of the stage.
- Yeah. - You got this shit.
I love you very much, mama. You got this.
Thank you.
- I am devastated that I'm in the bottom
and might have to lip sync again this week.
But I had a dream last night that I was in the bottom,
but I was safe.
And so I'm hoping my dreams come true and I'm safe.
- Oh, shit, I went the wrong way.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Are you guys so happy to see me on season 17?
We are!
- I know some of y'all was like, the bitch is back.
I wish I would have had a chance to critique everybody.
There was some... - Same.
- Really, really good looks and some
really not so good looks.
But you try.
And that's all that matters.
All right, babies. Bye.
- Thank you so much. - Bye.
- The wig. - Come on, shoes, the shoes.
- What I wanna know-- am I one
that he liked or did not like?
That's what I wanna know.
Law Roach, tell me now.
Did you like it? Did you not like it?
Welcome back, queens.
Arrietty, condragulations,
you are the winner of this week's challenge.
Hormona Lisa, Lana Ja'Rae,
I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.
The time has come for you
to Lip Sync for Your Life.
Lana Ja'Rae, shantay you stay.
Yes.
Whoo.
Thank you so much.
You may join the other girls.
Hormona Lisa, my dear, you are a true work of art.
Now, sashay away.
Rot in hell, thanks a lot.
Oh.
And nobody's gonna help the loser down the stairs?
That wasn't nice.
I'm obviously disappointed.
I don't think that this dress that I created
was the worst one.
I'm not gonna change my mind on that.
And that's really all I have to say.
The world is my oyster now.
You know.
Perfect.
Bye, pumpkins.
See you for "All Stars"?
I don't know.
