- Oh, my god.
[indistinct chatter]
- I feel really, really good.
I think my chances to win a badge this week are high.
That's why I want because, you know, I have three badges.
I have never been cut off before.
I have worked so hard to escape the ruby snippers.
This cannot be my time.
- I love my critiques this week.
I woke up this morning for challenge thinking,
I'm just happy I've got something
to walk down the runway with.
But I impressed everybody on the panel,
and everyone loved my look.
So maybe I'm gonna win a badge this week
and raise money for the Trevor Project.
- I am cut off this week, which sucks.
So if I'm in the top this week, I can't win the badge,
but I can still cut someone off.
And Roxxxy, Angeria, and Plastique have three badges.
Those are the people I'm gonna snip.
Nothing personal, everyone.
Jesus.
- Send the queens in 3, 2, 1.
- Oh.
[indistinct chatter]
- We are here, honey.
- That was just absolutely, positively spicy.
- Oh, my gosh. Yes.
We've had a stressful week, girl.
We went straight to the cocktails.
We have been working hard, and I'm so glad that we
get to, like, wind down.
- We're still here.
Top eight.
- Top eight. - Yay, top eight.
- Yes!
- We've done a lot.
We are getting to the home stretch, honey.
- And no more snipping.
This is the last.
- Oh, my god. No more snipping.
- Oh, yeah.
Wait a minute.
I feel like there's something else coming.
- Oh, whoo.
- Oh, there's something else coming.
- There's something fuckin' else coming.
- We still got more show to do.
And the challenges can start getting double as hard.
- Or we getting eliminated.
- Oh!
- Now they warming.
It's gonna be something coming.
It's like when you finish eating a burrito,
you know something's coming and wait for it
because it's gonna hit you.
When it does, honey,
have the toilet paper and baby wipes ready.
- Who do you guys think are in the top this week?
- You.
- Girl, I hope so.
- I could see a whole collection
built around this one outfit.
You have really brought miss lady cowboy to life.
- Love it. - Roxxxy, Nina.
- What I like about what they said about it
is that it's still so Nina.
- Wait, what did Jeremy say to you, too?
That you were something camp?
- Sophisticated camp.
And your dress is exquisitely made.
Everything fits great, looks great.
It's just...to a T.
- It was so cunty coming from him.
I was like, yes!
Like, such a good compliment.
I was like, that is, like, the dream compliment.
- I got great critiques for me, which I think is awesome.
Hearing Nina West even being considered
in the top for a design challenge
next to the people who are in this competition,
you've got to be kidding me.
And to even have this consideration that I'm even
in that same world on this show
on this competition in this week with Jeremy
Scott watching, OK, work.
OK, this feels really good.
[laughs]
Looking at everyone's stuff, it's like, it's so incredible.
Plastique, you did serve on the runway.
- I love a girl that gives a big reveal.
When it dropped on the floor and you started walking,
I said, ooh, this is a runway bitch right here.
- How did everyone feel about their walkthroughs?
- It was so magical.
It was so--
- He said to Mik, I love you.
- Oh, I know.
- I love you, kiddo.
I mean it. - Thank you so much.
Thank you for everything.
I know.
I was dying.
Like, getting spiritual life advice from RuPaul
is just like, what?
Someone who's worked so hard on themselves and just,
like, clearly has the most insane spiritual life
experience ever and giving us her knowledge
every second, every week.
- Yeah.
- Shannel, how was your walkthrough?
- Crazy.
We talked about my upbringing.
- When did you realize Christmas
was your time of the year?
- Oh, my gosh.
Growing up, it was-- it was everything.
I came from a very small family that was paycheck to paycheck,
but my parents always made it a point at Christmas to just go
so overboard for me.
- Do you still have that same feeling about it?
- I do.
And that's actually why I do Christmas the way
I do is because I don't have my mother anymore
and my father disowned me.
It was awful.
- It's pretty awful.
Just know that we are so blessed
to experience you because you are-- you're something else.
- When I was growing up, my parents got divorced,
and my father disowned me when I was 25 years old.
[somber music]
His wife, my stepmother, always said to me,
if you continue doing drag, you will never make any money
and you will never amount to anything.
And I think somehow, sadly, that kind of stuck with me.
It's always been in the back of my head.
And because I don't have siblings and my mom has passed
and I don't really know any other family at all,
I always have strived so, so, so hard
and worked so hard to do so well.
And sometimes in doing that, I forget to have fun.
And so because of that, I think I took
some of the fun out of drag.
And that's why for me being here,
it's been hard because I've been in my head, you know?
- Can I give you a hug, Shannel?
- Of course you can.
I would get up if I could.
- I'm happy you're in the season with us and--
- Thank you, baby.
- To me, now you're like family to me.
Every time, I'll come to Vegas. - I love you.
- Oh, I love you.
You're so amazing. - I love you.
- You are. You are so amazing.
- Listening to Shannel was pretty painful.
Oftentimes we're forced to leave our own families,
but we get to find people who accept us
and love us for who we are.
I can't imagine Shannel's pain, but what I do know
is that my friend who's sharing this story is a fucking star.
- At the end of the day, you kind of
have to get to the point where you're like, it's OK to look
like a Christmas pinata.
Working with these queens week after week
has been something that I will never forget.
And it's been such a rewarding experience for me
because I've learned about them,
but I've learned a lot more about myself.
And I think that I now see and value myself
far differently than I did before.
- Girl.
[upbeat music]
[all shouting]
- Hi, ladies.
Do you have a little more room on that couch
for one more queen?
- Oh, absolutely!
- I am not a fashion queen, but Jeremy Scott
walks into "Untucked"
and he walks up to me, shakes my hand,
and I'm like, oh, my god, that's Jeremy Scott.
I do my Jorgeous. Oh, my god, Jeremy Scott.
Oh, my god.
- You guys were giving it today.
- Yes.
- So many different themes going on.
And then this hair.
I just have to stare at this hair for a minute.
It's so beautiful.
- I'm so glad you like it.
- It's gorgeous. - Thank you.
- When I judged the first time you were on,
Bad Bitches of Herstory, it was the best--
best-- the best live performance

- That was, like, one of my favorite "Drag Race"
moments ever.
- So your second time, right? - Second time.
- This is your 20th time.
What is it now?
Oh, bitch.
Oh, bitch, you know I love you.
- I know. I know. - You know I love you.
- I'll come back 20 times.
I will.
My second and a half because I don't count 10.
I mean, I'm gonna come back anytime they ask me.
You know, it's Ru. - I know that's right.
- Of course. - It's such, a--like,
a specific experience. - Yeah.
- No matter what I do or where I go,
like, being at "Drag Race"
with Ru and, like, getting to meet
and hang out and be with everyone,
you can't recreate it anywhere.
- Are you feeling something different this time around?
- Myself, yes. - Yes.
- Yeah, I'm feeling myself and having fun
and not being anxious about what's happening and being more
confident and delivering it at all times,
regardless of what the challenge is.
- Vanjie is a brand. - Hello.
- The brand. - And you brought it out there.
It was all understood. - Yes.
- Obviously, I'm the biggest fan of your brand--
- You are. - Ever.
- You came into the store when I was in the store visiting
back in ages, ages ago, wearing your little pink
Moschino Barbie headband.
- I was a stan.
- [laughs]
- Erase that from your memory, please.
You know, when I saw you were there, I was like,
I'm gonna die right now.
I love drag, and I loved camp.
And you just were that in fashion to me,
just everything I wanted to be.
- Well, you're living the dream, my darling.
- I know. Sitting with you right here.
Wait, what's happening right now?
That's crazy. - Ah!
I die.
So, Jeremy-- - Tell me.
- --what are you working on?
What are you working on?
Because you are, like, my medical mystery in my soul.
Like, I need to know what your tea is.
- I can't tell you.
- Oh, my god.
I'm dying.
Fine.
[laughter]
- Thank you for being one of the people
who feature the girls and the dolls.
Thank you so much for everything.
- Oh, my goodness. Thank you.
I really appreciate being acknowledged like that
because I love my community.
And I love drag.
And, you know, when I was growing up,
there wasn't all of this.
There wasn't the kind of support and community.
And to get to show talents like Violet,
and when we took her to the Met Gala
and made history, that was a very proud moment.
I had to fight very hard behind the scenes.
I had one vision, which was to see
her walking up the stairs with the long-glove dress and--
- Oh, that made me cry.
- --the theme was camp, and I knew that we had to have
a drag queen and one that could have this elegance and this--
this chicness and capture that moment.
And Violet did it beautifully.
- Thank you for doing that. - Yeah.
- Yeah, no, it's insane.
And you're really changing everything for us.
- Aw. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- Sorry, queens, I got to take Jeremy back to the main stage.
Please follow me.
- Come at the most inopportune time.
- Jeremy, we love you.
- I love you guys, too.
I'm gonna do my Vanjie out of here.
[laughter]
I'm gonna say goodbye.
Can't wait to see the lip sync.
Mwah! Love you. Bye.
- Love you. Bye.
- I think he's so fuckin' cool.
- It's people like Jeremy that take us
serious as real artists.
Like, look at this.
This is an amazing artist sitting front row of my show,
in the show, honey.
Like, look at it and live.
- Gotmik!
- What?
[laughter]
- I miss you so much, and we are so proud of you.
I feel like it was just yesterday
that you were competing on the original "Drag Race."
Well, you didn't win the first time,
but this time, I have a feeling that you're gonna win.
And we're sure you're killing it.
We are sending all the good vibes to you,
and we're just so proud of you.
- I'm, like, so proud to call you a best friend, a brother.
Like, you've been such a huge part of my life, a huge reason
why, like, I transitioned.
I'm so happy you're back for round two, this time
competing for, like, trans lives.
So proud of you and Gigi being able to release
a book together.
- And that said, our book, "The T Guide"--
[all shouting]
--is oh, don't look at my nails.
- She didn't put nails on. I'm done.
- Yes, "The T Guide," bitch.
- Aw.
- You've done so much with your career.
And this is just a testament to how far
that you've come since you've been on "Drag Race:
the first time.
- Hurry up and come back a winner.
We love you.
[together] Ohh. - My family.
I mean, that's my chosen family.
- Yeah. - For real.
Nats and Gigi have been there for me, and I mean,
I grew up watching Gigi on YouTube.
And she, like, helped me so much come out
and, like, they are ride or dies forever.
And I just wouldn't be me without them.
During my transition, when my family didn't know
where to turn or what to do, Nats and Gigi
were the people that showed them that who I am as a person,
it's OK and that this isn't a phase and it's just who I am.
And that's amazing.
And that is why supporting an organization like Trans
Lifeline is just so important.
- Hi, Shannel.
- Shannel.
- I cannot believe you are in that Werk Room once
again showing off how absolutely
amazing and talented you are.
And you have so many people in your life that love you.
And I am definitely one of them.
By choosing the Anxiety and Depression Association
of America, you are helping bring the stigma
of mental health care to America's TVs
and showing them they are not alone
and how important it is to practice self-care.
Through all the trials and tribulations
that the world has thrown at our community lately,
I am so thankful that the universe
has put us in each other's lives.
And I am 100% honored to call you my best friend.
- Oh, my god. - Yes.
- That was everything.
- Come on, best friend.
- Aw.
- Wow.
- That's incredible.
- Whew.
That is Chelsea.
[laughter] - Yes.
- She is my fuckin' life, man.
I mean, I don't even think best friend is the word for it.
It's family, but on another level of family.
Like, she cares so unconditionally.
She's everything.
And I love her to death.
- We all need a Chelsea in our lives.
- Yes. - We all need a Chelsea, girl.
- Baby, let me tell you, I love that woman.
Oh.
- Hey, everyone.
- Oh, my--
- I'm Roxxxy's fiancé.
I'm just super excited that she's back on the show.
I know she's gonna do amazing.
In all these five, four years that we have together,
I've seen her grow so much.
I'm so excited for them so everybody else can
see what she's capable to do.
And I'm so excited, too, for the charity that she picked.
She's gonna give it all.
She's gonna fight for it.
And we're just gonna be here waiting for you, babe.
And just have fun, enjoy.
Make friends.
Don't be nasty.
And just bring the crown.
We love you.
We miss you.
Bye.
[together] Aw.
- Roxxxy!
- They trying to get us.
- I know.
- It's a good one.
- He's so cute.
- He's so nervous.
He never does shit like that.
I didn't ever think he would make a video.
Best thing that ever happened to me.
I've been in love many a-times,
but I've never been in love like I am now.
This is what love is.
Yeah.
- Aw. - That's amazing.
- Yeah, and I was always with boys who were, like, the it.
Like, they'd be mugged and all about the party
and be walking in with them and be like, yeah, bitch,
this is my man. - What?
- He would be like--
like, he's always in a corner somewhere.
I love you, babe, and I miss you so much.
I can't wait to see you.
He is my everything.
He is just my heart and soul and my rock.
And seeing him is something that I definitely
need to give me that push that I need to go through the rest
of this competition.
He loves me so much, and I love him to death.
- Don't you think it's, like, harder as a drag
queen to find a relationship?
Because for me, I feel like--
Girl!
- Find somebody who wants the best for you
and lets you do you, wants no part
but only to support you for who you are
and what you choose to do with your life.
It's life-changing. It's life-changing.
Don't ever settle.
- I'm single as hell.
And lately, dating life has been really hard for me.
Honestly, everybody knows who you are in the gay scene,
but they just see the person that they saw on TV.
That's all they know.
It is a huge turnoff because, like, girl, I'm a person too.
Girl, I'm sick of putting my trade in drag.
[laughter]
Poor me.

Time to change.
