The only person who does not believe is you.

your own solo verse.
- Ooh. - Okay.
- And in your groups,
you need to work together to create the choreography.
- Okay.
- We got this. - Yeah.
- All Stars, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[all cheering]
- [laughing]
- Ooh. - Wow.
- Let's focus. - Let's do this.
Make a song.
- For this week's Maxi Challenge,
we will be performing new versions
of the underground club classic,
"Money, Success, Fame, and Glamour."
- So maybe we should listen to the song first.
- Yeah. - Hit that beat, DJ.
- I think this challenge features all my strengths,
like dancing, singing, choreography.
I love disco.
I have my inner Donna Summer here shining.
- I'm going in the direction of referencing old Hollywood,
but making a lot of really dirty puns.
- Perfect.
- What do you got so far? - [sighs]
"Sophisticated glamor with a banjee twist..."
- Ooh. - I'm gonna start off with.
- Ooh.
- And LaLa's gonna give us a Ms. LaLa experience?
- I'll give a LaLa ghetto experience,
rapping down, you know, feeling my Trina fantasy
in the disco era.
- I'm gonna rap too. - Let's do it.
- You're gonna rap? Unh.
- [rapping] Everyone loves this old-ass queen.
Kill 'em with kindness, that's my scene.
- Oh. - Ah, yep.
- Is this some booty-shaking music?
- No, it's glam rock, bitch.
- Oh, okay.
- Glam rock is very, "I don't give a fuck.
"I'm gonna do whatever I want.
"I'm not gonna ask for permission.
I'm gonna break the rules."
And that is what I'm about.
- Why don't we come up with some kind of concept
as to our lyrics?
- I mean, it's been so long.
Like, I was season six.
So I kind of feel like I have to be like,
"Hey, remember this? Remember who I was?"
And now I'm living the lifestyle, darling.
In this first challenge, you gotta come out of the gate
with a huge stride.
So I'm gonna literally put my absolute fucking all
into this challenge.
I am gonna go like I'm at a glory hole,
just balls to the wall.
- Okay, but listen, bitch,
we definitely need a group name.
Since glam rock is so underground,
it can be something stupid.
- I'm down with something stupid.
- I don't know, like, Fame Whores.
- Fame Tarts. - Fame Tarts.
We're literally making them eat it, so...
- Yes! - There you go!
Ugh. - Whoo!
Here we are, dolls. - Here we go.
- It's time to rehearse our choreography,
and, bitch, I wanna rock it out.
I'm gonna shake my wig. I'm gonna shake my pussy.
I'm gonna pop this ass all over the stage.
- So is someone gonna spearhead the choreography, or, like--
- Um, okay, I nominate you.
- Ooh, but hold on. Wait, hold on.
I mean, that's fi--I'm--
- You're a strong dancer, right?
- I'm comfortable with choreo--
I choreographed season 12's "I'm That Bitch."
- ♪ I, I, I'm that bitch ♪
♪ I, I'm that bitch, I, I, I'm that bitch ♪
♪ That's the way it is ♪
- So I could do it. - Yeah.
- Okay. It's helpful to have somebody spearhead for sure.
- Absolutely. Can we get a track play
really fast so we can feel the beat?
- Ooh.
- ♪ Money, success ♪
♪ Fame, glamour ♪
- Let's do it. - All right, work.
- Fame, success, glamour. - Yes.
- When she slides out, I was thinking we all slide away...
- Oh, okay. Yeah, sickening.
- Like a Fosse Amoeba.
Should we do just sections of poses?
Pop.
Are my balls out?
- I just wanna start with, like, a close-up group
and then just spread out to the pyramid.
Do y'all feel that?
Do y'all think that's okay? - Yeah.
- Heidi, me and you would do the same thing, right?
- Yeah. - That's so corny.
I'm so sorry. That is so corny.
We're not gonna be in a cluster going into a pyramid.
Is no one else seeing what I'm seeing?
Am I going crazy?
Five, six, seven, eight. What?
When the fuck have you seen a rock star do that?
We're glam rock.
We're fucking rock and roll divas.
- All right. - Okay, then lead, diva.
- Why don't we just have set spots,
do our verses, and then just go from there?
- Heidi, do you wanna tackle the chorus choreography?
- Do y'all want me to tackle the chorus choreography?
- Absolutely. - Come on, mama.
- These hos done lost their damn marbles.
They're like, "Oh, yes, Heidi, we'll listen to you.
Oh, yes, Heidi, we'll do whatever you say."
Start with right.
And then we start rehearsing,
and they're like, "Oh, no, we gonna do this.
"Oh, I don't like that.
Oh, that don't make no sense."
We got our transitions? - Got it, yeah.
- Baby, relax and let me do my choreography.
- Work. - Okay.
We're moving now, y'all. We got this, honeys.
- All right, Destiny's Badass Kids, honey.
- Glitter babies.
- Well, fame starts now, okay? [laughter]
I'm feeling excited.
I think we should open-- - Yeah, with, like, ah!
- 'Cause there's a disco vibe to it.
Me and Jessica, we have decided to take
the leading roles as the dance captains, I suppose.
- I was doing, like, dun-dun-dun.
- Whatever your heart tells you.
- I like this.
- Yeah.
- Money, we can do like this.
Money.

- Success.
- Yeah. Fame.

and a Suzy Q to Suzy Q and a Suzy Q.
- ♪ Glamour ♪
- So bring it down a little bit.
That's not looking right.
- As long as the arms are selling,
that's what matters. [laughs]
- This rehearsal is not going well,
and I have the feeling we are going to stay
the whole night working on this,
because tomorrow in front of RuPaul,
we can't fuck it up.
- [sighs and buzzes lips]
- [laughing]
[upbeat music]
- Aah!
- [laughing] - Girl.
- Wait, what am I doing? What am I doing?
- You're over here, D.
- Today, we're getting ready
to perform our very own versions
of that underground club hit,
"Money, Success, Fame, and Glamour."
- Those look juicy. - I didn't get much sleep,
so I'm like, oh, these eye patches might help.
- I need one of those for my entire face.
- Oh, my God, I know.
This is "All Stars" eight, honey.
You gotta give every ounce of your body on that stage.
So I'll be giving all,
you know, however many ounces is in, um, 142 pounds.
So I'll let you do the math.
- Oh, you came over to give my titties a squeeze?
Do they pass the Darienne Lake squeeze test?
- They really do, my gosh.
- Hey, LaLa. - ♪ Oh, Jaymes ♪
- Ooh. - So how you feeling now, love?
- You know what? It's gonna be good.
If it looks off, I'm gonna make it
just so it looks like you guys are off.
- That's how you're supposed to do it.
Professional, honey.
Fuck us up, honey, okay?
- How was your rehearsal?
- [sighs]
Yesterday was a fucking shit show.
- Well, yesterday for both teams
I feel like was kind of, like, messy.
But, girl, I can see your mood.
- I was, in my head, like, really bad.
- Don't, like, get defeated right away.
You know what I mean? - Yeah.
There's no time to pout. That's why I'm like,
bitch, I'm gonna slay the choreography...
- Yeah. - And do what I have to do.
Being here means a lot to me.
I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
So I'm nervous.
I know I have a lot to prove.
But I guarantee everybody is feeling the same type of way,
shaking in our leotards and all that.
[laughs]
- Here, let me help you with that.
- All right, come on over here. - I'm gonna tape you
right across your mouth.
- Jimbo. [laughter]
Are you excited to be here.
- I'm so excited...
- Okay, cute. - Because I'm here with you.
- Mm-hmm. Real cute.
You can't send me home.
- I will never, if you promise that if I'm ever in the bottom,
that you won't send me home.
- Let's not forget that this competition is a Ru-mocracy.
You need to have votes on your side.
And in order for you to have votes,
you need to have friends.
- I promise.
- I'm watching you, bitch.
[squeals] - I promise.
I love Kandy. - Okay, good.
Heidi, Jimbo, and myself were on tour
before coming onto this competition.
So automatically, we are gonna be really close
and really great friends.
It's not even an alliance.
It's making a pact of, like,
girl, I have you, you have you,
you have me, and we have each other.
Do you think RuPaul is gonna tell us the twist
on the main stage?
- I would love to. - I hope so, bitch.
- I would love to know
how there's two ways to win.
- What is this twist Ru is talking about?
I'm too old for surprises.
My heart can't take it, okay? Just let me know.
- How's everybody feeling about the vote?
- I feel so strong about our group.
I couldn't send anyone from our group home.
But I don't know
the other group-- - Wow.
- I don't know the other group well enough.
I don't know what's happening in your group to know.
- They're taking everything into account too.
- Yeah. The fashion show
and the main challenge and the runway.
- Right. - Girl, it's a full package.
- I wanna play a fair game.
Like, I wanna, you know, honor people that are doing--
- I mean, but how fair is the game
when there's $200,000 on the line?
- 200. - That's real.
- I know a lot of girls say we gonna vote on criteria,
but a lot of you bitches might wanna send home
your biggest competition.
- Who wants to admit that publicly?
- Right. - I would just say,
do whatever you feel is best,
but be prepared for some pressure...
- Yeah. - If you're not doing
what the group feels you should do.
- Ooh.
- So "UK Versus the World" was
my first time with the "All Stars" rules,
and I did some, you know, questionable voting.
I picked Jujubee because she's a really good singer,
and I wanna be the one that sings with Ru.
- I'm gagged. I am gagged.
- And it ended up putting a target on my back.
- Pangina, which queen have you chosen to get the chop?
- I choose Jimbo to go home.
- So this time,
I'm gonna keep my cards close to my chest.
Well, I guess close to my chest.
- Either way, when it comes down to it,
eliminations are gonna be messy.
- They are. - And feelings are gonna
get hurt, and people's dreams are gonna get crushed.
- We gonna see some face cracks
and some claws coming out, honey.
It's gonna be severe up in here, baby.

Welcome, All Stars.
Based on your girl group performances
and all three of your Fame runway presentations,
I've made some decisions.
[dramatic music]
Heidi N Closet,
Kandy Muse,
Naysha Lopez,
Jessica Wild,
Jimbo,
Mrs. Kasha Davis,
ladies, you are all...
safe.
You may leave the stage.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Good luck, ladies.
- Ladies, you represent the tops
and the bottoms of the week.
Now it's time for the judges' critiques,
starting with Alexis Michelle.
- Alexis, you look stunning tonight.
And your first look, Famous Then,
you know, I always thought I wanted to be cremated,
- Mm-hmm. - No, scratch that.
I wanna be buried in that.
[laughter]
- And then, of course, your Famous Now,
you went with Kim Kardashian's Balenciaga Met Gala look,
which was a risk.
But I loved seeing Alexis up there
doing something very fashion-forward.
- It was a risk, and it just really worked.
I saw that in the musical number too.
You're here to take a risk.
You're here to win.
- I'm in awe of you.
I think you look absolutely stunning.
The way you walk that runway, so elegant and exquisite.
And you deserve to be in the spotlight.
- Thank you.
- Up next, Darienne Lake.
- Let's talk about your Fame looks.
You were Guinevere, and I thought the idea was cute.
The Billie Eilish, for me, was just not drag enough.
It's a T-shirt.
- It was too literal.
And we want extreme.
- You do need to kick it up,
like tonight.
You look just so beautiful.
- During the musical number, you were great.
Not only did you look beautiful with that hair,
but it looked like you were having fun.
- I noticed a few choreographed things
that might have been uncertain,
but you had the best attitude, and your energy was amazing.
- Thank you.
- All right, up next,
Kahanna Montrese.
- Bitch, she coming in hot on "All Stars."
There is a power and a fire lit within you.
- I'm kind of speechless.
When you came out in the group number,
I couldn't take my eyes off you.
Tonight, you were spectacular.
- Your presence was undeniable.
But what I really loved was that tribute to Lil Nas X.
And then, of course, this.
If I looked like that, I'd probably wear that
to the grocery store.
[laughter]
- You put in the hard yards, and it showed tonight.
Thank you, Kahanna. - Thank you.
- Up next, Jaymes Mansfield.
- Your classic mariachi look, I loved it.
And you did it in a Jaymes Mansfield,
Helena Bonham Carter type of way.
- That's a compliment.
- For me, it is.
What I really went wild for though was
your kind of tribute to JoJo Siwa.
I thought it was so fun. I thought it was really cute.
I thought the outfit was great.
- I was really taken with you.
I loved how you just floated around the stage.
You have this cherubic quality that's really beautiful.
- And then in the girl group,
you weren't able to do the choreography--
[laughs]
But I really didn't care because you were so funny.
- Well, thank you, Jaymes. - Thank you.
- Up next, LaLa Ri.
- Oh, yes.
- LaLa, I'm so happy you're here.
My favorite line from the girl group challenge was,
"I eat hot chicken off diamond dishes."
- She do. - Yes, she do.
- You were so powerful on the stage in the group number.
There's, like, a crazy, cool, sexy energy coming from you.
And you were one of the standouts to me.
- Thank you.
- Your Famous Then, oh, Diahann Carroll.
I mean, what a beautiful homage.
Your Famous Now, I think the issue I had
with that outfit was the letters should have looked
a bit more put together. - Yeah.
- But LaLa Ri tonight, this is how you should always look.
Your pussy is fully stepped up.
- Yes, honey.
[laughter]
- Up next, Monica Beverly Hillz.
- How great it is to see you.
Your Famous Then inspired by Cleopatra,
I just thought it was beautifully done.
I thought your Kim Petras tribute was cute.
But I think the issue for you is you're nervous
'cause it's been a long-ass time since you've been here.
I could feel it. Like, when you were out there
doing your thing, I could see it and I could feel it.
So when you do that, that makes us nervous.
- I'll tell you what I see.
I see somebody who is so ready
for this moment in the spotlight,
who is so good at what they do,
who needs to own this moment with the world watching.
- It's just been a while.
And I really want this bad.
But I know that I am fierce,
I just have to fucking go there, and that's it.
- Even though I could feel that you were holding back
a little, you got on stage after all this time,
and you did it, and you are exquisite.
- This outfit is gorgeous.
Loved the Cleopatra look.
And I could tell you were feeling it.
You found your light in that costume.
You need to find that light in every situation.
Thank you, Monica. - Thank you, guys.
- Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.
Based on the judges' critiques, I've made some decisions.

and it's a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.
I love you.
Like, normally when it comes to voting, I'm really good.
I'm very informed.
I've done my research.
- I love you.
- And usually, when I have to vote,
it's not against friends.
- You're incredible, and I hope you can forgive me.
- No matter how your decision goes,
people are gonna feel some type of way about it.
- I'm sorry.
- 'Cause you essentially have to crush someone's dream.
And we all just gotta prepare ourselves for that.
- Why don't we just take both?
[laughs]
- This is just me being an honest friend.
Step your pussy up, bitch.

My strategy is, I don't have one.
That's still a work in progress.
Who do I go for? I don't know.
But whatever I decide,
I set the course for the rest of my game.

My drag mother, Aja!
Baby, she is a true lip-sync assassin.
To try to keep up with her is a task and a half,

It is wonderful to have you back where you belong.

Ladies, Aja holds the lipstick
of the queen that the group has voted to send home.
If Aja wins the lip sync,
the queen on her lipstick gets the chop.
Kahanna, this is your chance to impress me,
win $10,000,
and earn the power to give one of the bottom queens the chop.
The time has come for you to lip-synch

Good luck,

Now, before we reveal who gets the chop,
I have exciting news to share.
- The twist.
- "RuPaul's Drag Race" has the most devoted
fan base in the world.
And this season,
we're letting their voices be heard
like never before.
I mentioned that this season, there are two ways to win.
The first is the traditional way,
where you snatch the crown and $200,000.
And the second way gives the eliminated queens
a chance to compete in the online fame games.
Starting next week, in "Untucked" and online,
we'll showcase the runway look that tonight's
eliminated queen would have worn in that episode.
And each week thereafter,
we will continue to feature the runway looks
of all the eliminated queens.
- Yes. - Yes!
- Yay.
- And any additional content
that the eliminated queens wish to post
on their socials is up to them.
In the final days leading up to the season's grand finale,
fans will vote to determine which one
of our eliminated queens will win the title
Queen of the Fame Games...
- Okay. - Okay.
- Plus, a cash prize
of $50,000...
[all cheering]

Now, with great power comes great responsibility.
Aja, which queen has the group chosen
to get the chop?
- The group has spoken.
And the queen that they have chosen is...
Monica Beverly Hillz.
- Oh.
- Congratulations.
- As it is written, so it shall be done.
Monica Beverly Hillz,
you are and will always be an All Star.
You may be leaving us tonight,
but the fame games have just begun.
- I'm rooting for you.
- Now sashay away.
- Thank you.
I was not expecting to go home first.
- Femme queen!
- But I believe in the universe
and how it works.
Every diva got their day.
Happened to be mine.
- Love you, Monica.
- But, honey, I do know this,
I will be queen of the fame game.
Gotta go.
Holla.
- Condragulations, All Stars.
