So good to be back, baby, but this time around,
there's gonna be a twist.
I don't know exactly what RuPaul means
about "There's two ways to win the competition."
The only way I know is to get to the top,
and we gonna see how that goes.
- I've been dying to compete in the U.S.,
and here I am on the biggest stage in drag,
competing to make it
into the "Drag Race" Hall of Fame.
And so far, it's filled with Americans.
So I am ready to take the crown
back with me up to Canada.
- It's good to be back because this is like a Rudemption
of the golden child.
So I'm not nervous.
I'm meant to be here.
I'm feeling scandalous.

And I was-- you're, like, one of the ones
I was most excited to be here with.
So I'm conflicted because, like,
I'm not gonna sit here and front.
Like, I feel like I can have
a genuine relationship
outside of this competition with you.
You know, we have a lot in common.
- Totally.
It's just, I don't know.
I never even thought I would be in this position right now.
You know, like, I didn't want to come back here and do this.

we should keep you here in the competition.

- I think right now, Monica is just lost in her feelings.
That's all because she is all-star material.
She needs to be here in the competition 100%.
But Monica, you are here because you are amazing.
- Such a star.
- The fight is not over.
- I feel very deeply for the girls
that are in the position
that you're in right now.
And I know every hope and dream you
have wrapped up in this because we all have the same ones.
So that's why I'm emotional, but also...
because I wasn't sure
how I'd be received here.

of where you girls are right now.
But--
- This "Untucked" is like a telenovela.
- [sobs]
- A lot of drama.

- How are you feeling?
- I'm not the best dancer, but I gave it
the best fucking effort. - Yes, you did.
- That I did. - Yes, you did.
- There's so much more I need to show.
And oh, I can't wait
to, like, show that other stuff.
- For me, I know how much you wanted to be here.
I felt it. - Right, yeah.
- I definitely think there's pros and cons
to both of the bottom twos.
I have my girl Monica that I was so excited
to be in this competition with,
just because of her presence.
But then I also have Darienne.
Like, I don't want to choose my teammate
that I've seen giving it her all.
I gotta play a fair game, y'all.
So I really wanna make sure that I'm just going
based off of my instinct
and what I truly feel is right.

I've always been the girl who can do

And today I'm going to be

Do you base your vote based on someone's story?

- Oh, yeah. - I can hear my nipple.
The cold does bother me, anyway.
[laughter]
Honestly, I'm in awe of all of you.
How's your corset, Lala?
- Ooh. Horrible.
You see I'm sitting here half naked.
[exclaiming, laughter]
- Drag is painful.
- It's so painful.
- Let me say, like, I know that you've got a lot of fans here.
But as, like, the resident Broadway bitch in the house...
- That's true. - It is so cool.
- Aw.
- So great to meet you. Such an honor.
I've seen your whole career.
- Thank you. - Security.
[laughter]
Security!
- Thank you so much.
- And also, that moment that you gave us on the runway
about channeling someone that you look up to...
- Yes! - Baby, it spoke so true to me.
- I usually tell young people
"Don't ever try to be anyone else." Right?
Be yourself and celebrate what makes you unique.
But once in a blue moon, I find that emulating somebody
that inspires you can help you.
So a couple of times in "Wicked," when I was having
a really bad day and I wasn't feeling very fierce at all,
I told myself, "Tonight, I'm gonna do Glenn Close
playing Elphaba," because Glenn Close
would not take shit from anybody.
I had one of my best shows ever.
Who would be your person? - Oh, baby,
I always channel the mother goddess, Beyoncé.
[laughter]
I may not look like her, but I'm gonna give her.
Yes, honey.
- Was there a moment where you're like,
"I have this gift"?
Like, "This is amazing, and I need to share it."
Or were you ever like, "Okay, am I, like"--
- Yeah, both. Yeah.
But when I was younger, I was like,
"Oh, I have this gift,"
and I was singing a lot of weddings and bar mitzvahs.
And I'd be up there doing my Whitney Houston
and Taylor Dayne-- I'm dating myself--and like--
[laughter] - Taylor Dayne.
- And some woman would come up and be like,
"Turn it down. You're too loud."
And I'd be like, "One day, I'm gonna be somebody!"
You know?
And so I think of how fearless I was
and how committed I was.
And now as I'm older, sometimes I have, like,
days where I'm so neurotic and just--
I really have to work on myself
to say, "Come on, get your shit together."
You know? So maybe it's with success,
sometimes you feel, like, more eyes on you.
You know, the fear of failure becomes even harder
the more successful that you get, right?
I'm sure you feel that way having success with the show
now and-- - Oh, yeah.
- You read one thing late at night
that someone writes about you, and it's just--
I wanna go drink myself into a stupor.
- That is evil. - Yeah.
But I don't drink
'cause I'm a Disney princess/queen.
- Yeah!
[laughter, exclaiming] - Oh, my god.
- I gotta take you out. - Oh.
I'm having too much fun!
[laughter] - [indistinct]
- Okay. Well--
- It was just getting good! - Okay.
- Kahanna, it's time for you to go change for your lip sync.
- Okay. - And everybody else

- Thank you. - Bye-bye.

- This is the moment.
[heavy music]
- Voting my fellow queens off the show--
it's not something I am excited about.
But my strategy should be based on what I'm feeling.
And that might be the strongest competitor,
or it might be my best friend.
I'm gonna follow my heart.
