Testing, testing.
Reporting live from "Untucked."
Let's do this, honey.
I'm about to give it to 'em, bitch.
Give it.
A little bit of reading, a little bit of shade.
Season 18 "Untucked"!
This is "Untucked."
We're live, loud, and in color, darling.
Time to go behind the scenes with the queens of season 18.
Yeah!
'Cause, honey, if you're not watching "Untucked"...
There's going to be a lot of tears.
I hope so.
I can't go home.
You're only getting half the story.
- Damn! - Whoa!
I'm feeling very spiky Myki today, very spiky Meeks.
Got my thorns, OK?
Today's an elimination day,
and we have filmed our improv scenes with Ru,
and I am feeling tentatively optimistic.
And now we are all preparing to walk the runway.
My look is this "Wuthering Heights"
into bordello storyline,
which is very me.
No, no, we don't do that anymore.
Is this unsettling to look at or what?
Statue of Liberty used to be bronze.
You're right. And then it got oxidized.
And then it got oxidized with zinc.
For being a bad girl.
- For being the baddest girl. - Ooh!
OK, top five runway.
Is poppers a kink?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Well, thank you, queens. I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck backstage,
the judges and I will deliberate.
I'm really surprised.
Yeah, good job, diva.
I hope it's enough, though.
I feel on top of the world after critiques.
I was so unsure about how this would go,
and to get resounding praise
for the challenge and the look--
oh, you can't tell me nothing right now.
OK.
You're walking like you have something up your booty.
These boots are really hard to walk in.
All right, y'all. - God.
I feel like this is the first time that we're all
literally like--
- Yeah. - I know.
I mean, it's also five completely different...
- Interpretations. - Concepts and interpretations.
- Yeah. - So...
All right, well, first of all, congrats to Myki.
Congrats, Myki.
Y'all, I could not believe it.
I'm just thrilled.
You just pulled out every last thing
you had in your bag of tricks, and I bought every single one.
- Great night for you, Myki. - Wow.
Thank you, thank you.
It just feels fantastic.
I was very stressed, so...
I don't see Juicy on the bottom.
- I don't think so either. - I hope not.
I loved the Spanish stuff.
I love--To think Ru called you a puta.
It just--it looked like you two had a good time.
I'm shocked and surprised.
The whole thing I'm going to take away from it is just--
they were proud of me, and, like, that's all I wanted,
because Ru had singled me out in the walkthrough.
I'm worried about you the most.
Why do you think I'm worried about you?
Because you haven't been getting
who I am through these improv challenges.
Well, the bigger question is,
what has kept you from letting it all hang out?
That's the bigger question.
You could have easily been affected by that moment.
Oh, I mean, I was.
So, to hear them be like, you know,
you did it, pretty good.
Like, OK.
I know I'm more than just a dancer.
I am the full package.
There's so many more aspects than performing.
And if you can't harness your voice,
if you can't harness these other aspects of yourself,
it's easy to fade.
And I never want to fade.
I want to be an entertainer for the rest of my life,
a well-rounded entertainer.
I don't know. We'll see.
Darlener, how are you feeling?
That was a mix, a real mix.
You are so funny.
But I would have wanted to see more Karen from you.
You know, coming into this show, like, the thing
that you know that you need to do or that you should, like,
strive to do is to get Ru to laugh.
You know what I mean? - Right.
If Ru thinks something is stupid and laughs,
then that's a win, you know what I mean?
I know it's a really good sign when
Ru says that something is absolutely stupid--
And I got that.
But I also got that there was really
not a lot of Karen going on,
and I am not feeling good about that.
And with how this competition has gone,
anything can happen, and I want this bad.
I need the top four.
I feel like I had the Karen, but, like, I wasn't as funny.
I just think you ran out of steam.
It felt like it became the same thing over and over.
You have to keep it moving to keep the comedy moving.
Where is the--
where's the line?
Right.
I don't know.
I mean, I definitely--
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't quite know what to make of it.
I think in this situation,
I didn't get Karen-- I was getting more Mrs. Roper.
I'm feeling like there's a chance I could lip-sync.
I definitely feel like there's a chance I could lip-sync.
But I don't know, because I felt like
they really loved my runway.
I just love that juxtaposition
of the sort of Jane Austen to, like--
Red light whore.
- So... - Who's Mrs. Roper?
Like, Mrs.-- we'll talk about it later.
- Nobody did bad. - No.
Like, let's look around.
Like, we've been here for so long now.
It's just the five of us.
We have worked so hard, and we've proven ourselves
so strongly throughout the entire competition.
Like, this is just amazing,
and we're all superstars leaving here.
You know? - Yeah.
It's wild. It's been a journey.
There's this feeling very, very proud of how far,
and that is something to really be proud of.
But then I'm trying not to focus on this, like,
feeling of, like, man, it was right there,
ready for, like, a touchdown, and fumbled, you know?
- Yeah. - For sure.
Yeah, I'm trying-- I'm there with you.
Definitely feeling a little bizarre.
I just have really been busting my ass this whole time...
Yeah.
And doing really, really well.
And I'm really proud of myself
for, like, the first time in my life.
I just feel like everybody deserves it.
This "Untucked" is definitely
not the kiki that we're used to,
because we're so close to the finish line
and we've all grown so close to each other
that we don't want to see anyone go.
We really don't.
But one of us is still going home.
I am feeling very emotional
because I know how much work
everyone has put in, and this could
potentially be who goes to the finale.
We're not quite sure.
We can all see the end,
and it's a lot of emotions.
You know, like, previous weeks, it's like,
we're headed to the next challenge.
You know what I mean?
Like, but now it's, like, the five of us
who are really close,
and it's not just, like, the next challenge.
It's like, this is going, you know,
potentially, to the finale.
So it's not just, like,
oh, well, another one goes,
but, like, you know, there's another challenge.
It's like, one of us goes and that's, like--
and, of course, we all knew that.
You know, I knew it,
but I didn't anticipate this feeling.
It's a fucking hard-ass competition.
It's hard mentally more than anything else, I feel.
And we're all emotional people, so it's hard emotionally, too.
You look so pretty when you cry with your piss shirt.
I'm going to grab a snack.
The mood in "Untucked" is...
somber.
I get it.
We all want this really bad,
and we know that there's an elimination tonight.
The girls are all in the same mindset
of not knowing what's going to happen.
I do feel for them because to work so hard
to get to this point and maybe not make it to the end...
Do you think it's us?
Um, yeah, partially.
I don't know. I don't know how--
I guess I'm like, I think my runway could save me.
There's part of me that's still holding on to the hope
that she'll say I'm safe.
But if not, I'm gonna lip-sync. - Yeah.
I have no idea how this is going to go.
I think last week when I lip-synced,
there's a piece of me that's, like...
fighting so fucking hard.
And I'm like, I am that bitch.
Like, I know I can go all the way.
My trajectory in this competition
has been interesting.
I came in hot in the first challenge
and then hopped on the safe train.
It wasn't until Snatch Game
that I knocked it out of the park again.
But since then, I've had a taste of the bottom,
and it is tasting very bitter at this point.
I want it so bad right now.
Where's your head at?
I don't know whether to, like, feel happy.
I mean, like, I'm happy. I'm proud of myself.
Like, that's 100%.
Out of the four, I don't see you in the bottom,
based off the critiques.
I think it might be Jane and Nini.
There's only so many people left.
And, of course, someone has to land in the bottom.
But I don't think anyone ever expected
Jane to land in the bottom,
especially in a comedy challenge.
And I think Nini is fucking fierce.
This is not fun. It's not going to be good.
And whoever goes home right now,
it's still going to hurt, it's still going to hit hard.
Where's your head at, Jane?
If I gotta lip-sync, I gotta lip-sync.
But, like, really, truly,
not to--not to, like,
be a psychopath in the midst of all of it,
but, like,
I do think I deserve to be at the end.
So, if I have to lip-sync, it is what it is.
Yeah.
I just--I've spent so much of my life feeling like...
I wasn't, like, worth anything.
And I know I deserve to be at the end.
You know? So... - You asbo-fucking-lutely do.
You know, we'll do what we gotta.
Jane was a front-runner, and she was in the top every week.
But the second she gets a taste of being near the bottom,
all of her insecurities bubble to the surface.
And it seems like the competition
is getting the best of her.
I love this drink.
Thank you, Mrs. Lovett.
And you, the rose from "Alice in Wonderland."
Oh, where Juicy's doing poppers.
We're not like the other girls.
I'm also gagged
that this has been a very straightforward season.
No chocolate. - Yeah.
Oh, my goodness!
You've got the gold bar.
That was Darlene's second option.
Oh, God. I don't want to see that look.
- No Badonka Dunk. - Dunk tank.
The secret potion or special potion.
This season has the ugliest shoes ever.
Truly.
I can't say I dislike something
more than I dislike those shoes.
- Oh, my God. - They are so problematic.
They're just really clunky.
The shoes are a Xana-don't for me.
That shoe...
And one more thing, Michelle.
What?
Why you mad?
This season, we're making a thud.
You mad?
And it's Darlene with a... bonk.
Yeah.
Brace for impact, and it's just Darlene's big heel.
OK.
If we were backstage right now, what would we be doing?
We all look like we're going to different parties.
Yeah, guess the theme, y'all. Guess the theme.
- Yeah, literally. - You can't.
You can't. You're mad.
OK, that's enough of that.
Close your eyes.
Who am I?
- You have to do the thing. - It's LEGO.
I'm kidding.
- Mandy. You're Mandy. - Is that what she fainted in?
- Yes. - Yes.
That's what she fainted in, yeah.
I didn't even realize it was lined.
Good for her. - And then the catsuit.
And then she did her little bend-down thing
and popped the crotch of the catsuit out immediately.
She lined an ugly garment, huh?
You don't remember that?
She like-- yeah, she like, went in.
I don't really remember it happening,
but I, like, remember after the fact, she's, like,
walking around, doing a lip sync,
with the whole crotch blown out.
Whose is this?
Wow.
How does it smell?
- Skrr-ooh! - Banana.
I hate this one.
- Like urine. - Ew.
All right, moving on.
Moving on.
I don't know what's going to happen.
Yeah, that's the thing. We just don't know what's up.
Darlene and I were talking yesterday,
and we were like, getting to that final group
can come down to the next 10 minutes of our lives.
- The improv sketch? - Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I thought going into it, too.
I was like, this is going to determine what happens.
10 minutes with Ru could, like--
I wish we got to see each other do our thing.
You know? That'd be great. - Yeah, right.
- Was anybody nervous... - Hell, yeah.
- Being face-to-face with Ru? - Oh, yeah, of course.
I didn't recognize her, like, at all.
Oye! Oye!
Oh, God, here she comes.
She had, like, a Jackson 5 Afro on,
and she had, like, a denim button-up shirt.
That's hilarious.
I think she had a mustache for mine.
How very dare you?
- How very dare you, ma'am? - You know what?
She dresses like a traditional traffic cop,
like, in the brown cop uniform, and she had a porn-stache.
Like, sheriff vibes?
Yeah, porn-stache, some big old aviator glasses.
Yeah, I got a bad bitch up in here, y'all.
- Am I still going to jail? - Oh, hell, yeah.
I hope she was having fun.
Oh, my God. Yeah, me too.
What were they saying, when you rolled over what?
- Yeah, what? - So I jumped over the rail.
Um, wait.
What is she doing?
You got hit by a car?
What is this bitch trying to do?
Oh, she's-- oh, she's pretending.
Oh, she's pretending that I hit her car.
Fuck me. OK.
Get in this picture.
Every one of those Polaroids of me
is, like, is the worst photo of me.
- I know, right? - Every single time
that somebody takes a Polaroid of me,
it's like--it's an assault.
Ready? Smile.
I don't think we're all in it.
Yes, you are.
Juicy knows 'cause she's a scientist.
It's going to be so close on Juicy.
This little mirror-- you guys are all old.
You should know this.
This little mirror is so you can take selfies on a Polaroid.
I'm not listening to this opinion anymore.
Aren't you, like, three years older than me?
Give me the Polaroid. You've lost privileges.
OK, maybe I did only get--
- Juicy, you broke it. - Yeah, Juicy.
I think it's-- - Girl, what?
This is a selfie of Juicy
with, like-- with four teeny people
in the back. - Ha ha.
Top five.
Now, two wins in, in the top consistently.
Might be winning tonight. I have a good feeling.
I'm just so...
I'm so proud of myself.
There was a second I really thought I was done here,
and we refilled that gas tank.
And we've been zooming since, and I'm coming for that crown.
I am.
Ooh!
Meeks Nation, let's go.
- I love you. - I love you.
I'm in this kind of weird emotional space,
because as many nice things as the judges have said about me,
the negative critiques
sort of tumble around in my brain for a lot longer.
Love you, Jane.
And I'm apprehensive about going against Nini
because Nini is one of the stronger lip syncers
in the competition.
But I also need to just fucking remember that I'm Jane Don't.
I'm fucking sickening, and I want to stay here.
And if I have to get through Nini to stay here,
then that's what I have to do.
Welcome back, queens. I've made some decisions.
Myki Meeks, condragulations.
You're the winner of this week's challenge.
Ooh! Let's fucking go.
Nini Coco, Jane Don't,
I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
The time has come for you
to lip-sync for... your... life.
Nini Coco, shantay, you stay.
You may join the other girls.
I love you.
It's okay.
Jane, my queen...
you are a star.
Never take "don't" for an answer.
Now...
sashay away.
Oh, um--uh...
My mind is just kind of blank.
It's Ru's decision,
and there's nothing I can do about it.
I really did want to get to the end,
and I really, really wanted this.
This is one of the first things in my life
that I do genuinely feel really, really proud of.
But it is what it is.
I love the other girls, and I'm glad
that they get to, like, go have that moment.
And it just sucks that I can't go there with them.
