This is not RuPaul's Best Friend Race.
I feel very attacked!
If you don't have star quality,
get the fuck out of here.
Oh, my God.
RuPaul: This is Untucked,
backstage at the competition
to become America's next drag superstar.
Girl, if you're not watching Untucked,
you're only getting half the story.
Director: That's a break on the main stage.
All cameras re-po.
RuPaul: Welcome, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Alyssa Hunter, Bosco,
Kerri Colby, Kornbread,
Daya Betty, DeJa Skye,
Jasmine Kennedie, Lady Camden...
You are safe.
You may leave the stage.
The Ball challenge was a challenge
that I thought I would excel at.
The fact that I was just safe
makes me pissed at myself.
Maybe I'm not as good of a sewer
as I thought I was.
I feel mad.
I wanted to win the challenge.
I think I am the most couture right now here
for all these bitches.
It doesn't feel amazing that I'm safe
on a sewing challenge
because I'm a seamstress.
But after being in the bottom two,
I'm fine with it.
All cameras up.
Copy that. Here we go.
We got the queens walking. [clack]
Okay.
Meow.
-We're safe. We're safe. -Libations.
The first Untucked with all of our Season 14 sisters.
-Yay! -Yay!
Whatever.
How y'all feeling?
Alyssa, can you open this?
First ball.
-Gimme some tip, bitch. -Ooh!
I'll give you more than just the tip, baby.
Oh!
Is anyone kind of in their feelings?
I'm not bitter-- well, I am bitter.
-[laughs] -I'm pissed.
I'm pissed because of this.
Because this didn't get praised.
-"Because of this." -What is that, bitch?
It just felt like I didn't make top.
Jasmine is emotional because she thought
she was going to land in the top.
But, girl, look around.
There were people that had much better garments than you,
so build a bridge and get over it.
The wedding part was a little tricky
because some of us,
we looked like we're going to a beauty pageant.
Well, some of us.
Alyssa, how are you feeling?
I am a little bit disappointed.
-I'm gonna be honest. -Yeah.
Because before I entered Drag Race,
I was, oh, I literally need to win,
you know, the Ball challenge.
This is amazing.
When RuPaul said "You're safe,"
literally my face, it was, fuck.
Is this really happening?
Like, I'm here to win challenge,
and last week, I was in the bottom three.
That's not a position that I love it.
So this week, I just put myself together
and I was, Alyssa,
this is your time to redeem yourself
and be in the top.
And I was pretty confident that I would be in the top.
It sucks.
I come from a beauty pageant background,
I am a runway coach.
I wanted to win the challenge.
You, Lady Camden,
like, I'm surprised you're not in the top.
I think that was a part of me that was, like,
oh, my God, it would be really fucking sick
to be, like, in the top.
But then I also realize, like,
that sewing's not my thing, man.
What the hell do you mean sewing's not your thing?
You did a great job.
I faked it really well.
So part of me was, like,
that would have been really fucking cool.
And then when she said safe,
I was, like, disappointed.
But to be fair, I don't think
my red or white were anything to really write home about.
I think the part that I'm the most bummed about
is, like, when you're safe, which is great,
you don't get to hear any feedback.
I wanted to know what they thought
we could have done better.
I think these girls are ridiculous.
You are safe.
You're here to see another week.
I don't know why you are so butt hurt about it.
-I went home last week. -Right.
How you feel that you coming back?
Baby, you're in the game again.
I feel so much better, you guys.
Literally, last week was so disheartening to me.
Me and her were crying when they sent you home.
Bitch, I was crying after I got sent home.
I was feeling really confident
just because I do sew.
Like, that's what I do.
But I'll take it, because last week, you know,
I was not in this situation,
and it fucked me up.
And seeing you for the first time with your drag aesthetic,
I think you need to be here in this competition.
You give a very, like, animated element
that I think is so well done.
You saying that really means something to me,
so I really appreciate that coming from you.
And I'm about to cry.
-Again. -We got you.
No, but seriously, you guys,
I'm so happy to be here.
I don't think, like,
this competition was ready for you to go yet.
And that is why I'm here.
And I plan on staying a lot longer,
so fuck yeah.
It's great that you get to show more of a bitch.
When they said two more people,
I said, girl, are y'all playing with me?
Yeah, I was definitely, like,
we just had six new queens.
They were just, like,
okay, just met the six other ho's,
and now there's two back in the game.
and I thought, like,
I'd at least jumped over the hurdle
of not being first out.
It was not easy to get to where we were
to have the six.
So when the two girls walking out,
I was, like, oh, God, here we go back to square one.
The vibe is...awkward.
I see some of the girls eyeballing me.
I can tell they're a little pissed.
So that's intimidating as hell.
Did I feel some type of way when y'all walked up in here?
Any bitch in a competition for $100.000
that feel like they are the best
that are trying to knock ho's down
should feel some kind of way.
I was, like, it's 14 people again.
-Yeah. -We're in a competition.
And if any of these bitches say
that they did even feel a little inkling
or a twist in their spirit,
that there were two more people in the competition,
they fucking lying.
I felt that energy from you, and it kind of like--
you know, it freaks me out a little bit.
But you here now.
I can't change that 'cause my name ain't RuPaul.
So I'm just, like, now that you here,
I'm not gonna make you feel like you don't deserve to be here.
Because if I deserve to be here,
all you ho's deserve to be here.
It would never be that.
Period.
For this particular ball, the real shit,
girl, when she said safe,
I was the happiest ho on the planet.
'Cause, bitch, I'm not no seamstress.
Did I make a lot of this garment? Yes.
Did I get help? Abso-fucking-lutely.
I am not that kind if girl that's gonna sit here
and just be, like, yes, Miss Thing, I made it.
'Cause I would have called you out if you did. [laughs]
Bitch--never mind.
Fuck. No, fuck, take credit, girl.
Oh, child.
DeJa, you helped Jasmine.
You helped her. Y'all happy now?
I was getting to that goddamn point,
but never mind, ho.
[all laugh]
Kornbread, you are going to be very big competition this year.
Baby, when you walked into this werkroom,
I saw you in the final four.
I really appreciate that, and, girl, I hope that's true.
-[laughs] -My mindset?
I don't worry about nothin' none of y'all are doing.
If I would have made my garment like this
and then looked at any of y'all's moments--
except Kerri's-- any of y'all moments--
[all laugh]
I would never compare myself,
because it does not change your skill level.
Yeah.
So, Miss Kerri, how you feeling?
Honestly, this was the challenge
that I was the most, like, uncomfortable with,
because I have never sewed nothing before.
You've overcome your biggest fear in this competition,
which was the one thing that you're not the greatest at.
-Mm-hmm. -Like, writing lyrics,
I know I'm gonna need help from y'all girls.
Which is so weird, because you talk nonstop.
[all laugh]
With maturity, there's social cues
that you pick up on,
and I don't think Jasmine's quite developed those yet,
so she doesn't really know when to stop talking.
So who is in the top and who is in the bottom?
My homegirl June is in the bottom.
I think her zebra look was the worst.
What? Oh, uh-uh.
Fuck you. Drink your shit, bitch.
Even though I love June's outfit,
I think it's gonna be Maddy and June.
-Yeah, you think so? -I think Miss Maddy.
I just wanna put everybody in the bottom, so whatever.
Here's the thing.
I will say that you two are very distinct and very boom.
I'm just gonna say it.
I can see it kind of coming off the wrong way, so--
Also it's like--I think this happens with pageantry.
If someone's asking our opinion,
we're just very to the point with it.
Where I'm from, there's literally pageant girls
and then, like, underground, a little rough around the edges,
which is more where I fit in.
So a lot of the times, we get this weird rep from them,
and we're always kind of put down.
And sometimes in pageantry, like, oh, you're pageant,
so you are, like, bitchy,
you are nah, nah, nah, nah. But, no.
When you know me as a person,
I am a good person.
We're not saying you're not.
No, no, no, no, no. But just to know,
I hate when the people call me, like,
oh, you're a pageant queen.
No, bitch, I'm more than that.
Okay, can I clarify something?
Where I'm from, it's, like, one or the other.
It's, like, I have always had to defend my type.
Whew.
We need to respect, like,
if you're different than I am, like, just respect that.
Because drag is everything, bitch.
Like, we can do everything.
-Anything you want, yeah. -Always.
Ooh, girl.
-Aah! -Oh, they're back.
-Ooh. -And we're back.
Come on, get a cocktail. Come sit.
Girl, I'm ready.
Sit, take your shoes off, girl.
Tell us the tea. Tell us the tea, y'all.
-Who wants to start? -So what's the tea?
Well, they first started with Willow.
She got really, really--
-They loved her. -They loved Willow.
[cheering]
They said that my second look, they loved.
And the first one, they liked it,
but they said it was kind of like hot suburban mom,
which is what I was going for.
[all laugh] So I feel on top of the world.
As you should.
[cheering] Now, Miss Orion, girl,
what was your mindset? How are you?
They said it's too busy, and I'm, like, I don't see it.
-This look? -Yeah.
Yeah, I don't personally think it's too busy.
I really do think it's between you and June.
Well, June, how do you feel, bitch?
Groundhog's Day.
They really loved the fabric on the second outfit.
They were just, like,
it looked like I was struggling walking in it.
And Ru said it looked like my hair was not my hair.
That hair, it felt like it wasn't for you.
It felt like it was someone else's hair,
and you don't want that.
What? That was my favorite part.
And I loved my hair, and I--
You look like Mary J. Blige, baby.
Before I came here,
I didn't have sisters or a drag mother to loan hair,
so I'm literally commissioning all of my hair.
What did they say about this look?
Michelle said it was too busy.
I was, like, but last week you told me details.
Like, I really wanted to show that, okay, I can do details.
But I guess I should have pulled back a little bit.
I thought that the pieces were gorgeous,
but I felt like you did kinda get in your head a little bit,
and I felt like you looked a little bit defeated.
When you manifest that you're not loving it,
it can kind of spiral into something more negative
than it really needed to be.
That's something you gotta work on,
and you keep fucking yourself up mentally.
It's so weird, because I've only been doing drag two years,
and it's just like I know what I see myself,
and it's, like, I have to, you know, live up to everyone else.
-No. -And it's like--
Don't be worried about anything that we're doing.
You need to focus on you.
Can I just say, like, June,
like, you were one of the first people in the group
to make me feel like, oh, I feel like someone sees me.
You might not have 10 years of experience in drag--
I'm not trying to make you cry right now, you stupid bitch.
DeJa's old also.
But I feel like you're being yourself.
And that takes a lot of people
a lot of time to figure out.
I mean, I spent years
seeing myself gain weight,
looking at myself in the mirror, not liking what I see,
and I was just like, let me just be me.
June gives me that, to dance and perform freely,
and to just not care what other people think.
And then coming here, I care so much what they think
that I'm starting to forget what I know.
-Yeah. -Yes.
I do wanna have a moment for Miss Maddy as well.
I wanna save some time for Miss Maddy.
I thought they were gonna love my resort,
but honestly, like, none of the judges liked the resort look.
At least two or three of the judges
said it looked like off-the-rack,
which is, like, I sewed it myself, so, hey, you know.
But I was, like, so fucking worried,
like, going into this,
just because everything that I was trying to do,
none of it worked out.
I spent, like, eight hours for no reason,
and I had to bust this out in, like, a lot less time.
-But it looks amazing. -It does.
All right, ladies, 10 minutes till main stage.
So you all--whoever wants to get ready, get ready, but...
This bitch done wrote the whole script, girl.
No, I'm not directing anything.
Sorry, I'm gonna shut the hell up.
This ho done told everybody what to do, how to do it,
when to do it, how to say it, how to get it.
This bitch been telling us what the fuck to do
since she walked up in here.
I talk way too much.
-Go ahead, baby. -Excuse me, girls.
-Girl. -Me, too, bitch.
Oh, Lord.
June.
How you feeling?
-Can you take my shoe off? -Yeah.
Take it off. Take it off.
-Do your own thing. -Take the shoe off.
If I'm not safe, I'm gonna send someone home.
Period!
Are you good?
[speaking very softly, inaudible]
I want you to be that ho.
And go ahead and let that out now, bitch.
Yeah, because when you get out there, I need you to--yeah.
Hey, you're gonna make it.
Like, literally, just do your thing.
Don't cry.
Just pull it together, and just be you, okay?
I believe in you, bitch.
I don't think I deserve to be in the bottom.
I don't think you are.
Do you think it's gonna be Maddy?
Mm-hmm.
I just want y'all to just focus.
I'm so proud of you.
Like, you're doing, like--
I just want you to stay so bad.
You're doing an amazing job.
You're doing amazing, sweetie.
Thank you.
Oh, I just don't want you to go.
I'm gonna fight.
-I need you here, I need you here. -I'm gonna fight.
Like, if you can't do it, do it for me.
Baby, I'm sorry that they didn't love it.
Bitch, I'm pissed.
I don't think it's the worst.
Well, let's hope that they don't think it's the worst, too.
Look at Maddy right now, bitch.
She's lip syncing for somebody, honey.
I think you need to go get ready.
I wanna stay in this competition so badly,
I'm going to entertain the hell out of them.
I just have to fight extremely hard.
Being a young, Black, gay kid from the South,
that's all I know how to do.
It's ingrained in me.
I'm about to lip sync for my life.
I am just laser-focused on this lip sync right now.
These girls can't keep me in the competition or take me out.
Only I can.
I'm trying to act like June is not even here.
I can't let her get in my head right now.
In this moment, it is me versus myself.
This is, like, where I show the judges
why I'm in this competition.
I don't know what's really going on,
but what I do know, we're going somewhere,
and it's not home.
All right, ladies, time for the main stage.
Follow me.
Let's go, y'all.
Ooh! Aah!
Bitch, I can't feel my lower half, honey.
This corset done yanked the ho.
RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
RuPaul: June Jambalaya.
Maddy Morphosis.
The time has come
for you to lip sync
for your life.
Maddy Morphosis, shantay you stay.
June, sashay away.
I knew it was coming,
and I said, let me get out of these box braids
and have my pussycat wig and my jungle dress,
and just, you know, live this fantasy on these people's stage.
Werk. She didn't, honey.
She didn't werk.
I'm sad, obviously,
because no one wants to be first to go home.
This Jambalaya is definitely still cooking right now.
Sometimes, you know, when the rice ain't all the way there,
you just gotta let it cook a little bit
till the rice is right.
That's when you add everything else in it.
So we gonna let the rice cook a little bit more.
I wish things would have been different,
but they're just lessons learned.
All the people that were, like, backing me,
I just hope that, you know,
I ain't disappoint them too much, chile.
You know, Black people real competitive.
They gonna be at home telling me, "You shoulda won."
This is from Miss Kornbread.
"I am beyond proud of you.
"Hold your head high.
"Keep your shoes on.
P.S., leave me this heart wig."
I was, like, most excited to wear this wig.
Oh.
Fine.
[sniffles] Oh.
Kornbread asked to keep it.
Miss Kornbread, she love her frizzy hair, honey.
I...
I enjoy performing so much.
I...
want to be able to do it forever.
I still know that I'm going to get the opportunity to perform
and do what sets my soul on fire.
Don't make the mistake that I did,
looking at the room of where you don't fit.
Look at where you stand out.
Never stop embracing what makes you different and special.
It was fun, it was real,
but most importantly, I was me.
The most beautiful thing about this journey,
people always told me when I become old enough,
I'll find my chosen family.
I didn't understand it at 15, but I do now.
I hope y'all come get this Jambalaya special on the road.
