- Hello, hello, hello. [all shout]
Previously on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
You'll be starring in "Pant-Oh She Better Don't, The Rusical."
all: Hey. - Yeah.
- [singing] Twink's bagged a party risk
Cow had a big moo-ment
And they'll be back next year
This is the end
Zah!
- DeDeLicious.
- The whole character kind of wore you rather than you wearing it.
- Banksie.
- Could've let go of your fear and gone for it.
It would have been a real scene-stealing moment.
- Ginger Johnson.
You were fantastic in this. - Thank you.
- Small part, but you made a huge impact.
Condragulations.
You are the winner of this week's challenge.
[cheers and applause]
[laughter] - Finally!
- DeDeLicious...
shantay, you stay.
Banksie, sashay away.
- Aw, rats!
[dramatic electronic music]
- Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
- Oh, God.
- Ugh. - Ugh.
- We're back in the Werk Room, and Banksie's just sashayed away.
- What horrible words has she written? [laughter]
- But as much as I love her, it was me or her.
And I'm a drag queen. I choose me.
- "Love you, sisters.
All hail the rat queen, Banksie."
all: Aw. - Oh.
- That was so wild. - Yeah.
- What was going through your head?
- I just, like, pour out everything
you have been in your head about in this competition...
- Mm-hmm. - And lay it just all out there.
And exactly what did.
I mean, I was taking center stage no matter what.
- Absolutely.
I feel half bad because I think that we grew
to actually like each other.
However, the other half of me is saying, ding dong, the witch is dead.
- Let's hear it for Miss DeDe. [all cheering]
- DeDe, you slaughtered that lamb, babe.
[all shout]
- Hey-oh!
- But, seriously, it was an honor to lip-synch with her.
- Well, get it cleaned off.
- Wipe that.
- I was so close with Banksie.
She was a huge, incredibly tall presence in the Werk Room.
I was getting a crick in my neck from looking up at Banksie, so...
My chiropractor will be thrilled that she's gone home.
I think we should kick off by giving her-- God knows she needs one.
Give Ginger a big hand. [cheers and applause]
- Congratulations, baby.
- Well done, my love.
- I think I'm as surprised as the rest of you were.
[laughter]
I was literally in the mirror learning the words.
- Who did you think was gonna win?
- Eh, I thought it was gonna be Vicki or Michael.
I just thought because they said my outfit was so bizarre
and they really focused on the fact that I had no arms,
but it turns out maybe that was okay.
- They loved it. - Absolutely loved that.
- Yeah.
- I think that's--honest to God, you smashed the challenge, babe.
- You did. You did so good. - Thank you.
We all did. It was amazing.
- Vicki, are you disappointed because you thought you had it, I think?
- Yeah.
- No, listen, I am not disappointed, because in my opinion,
I could not have asked for anything better than Michael
or Ginger getting the win.
- Also, not Kate.
[laughter]
- I'm just happy to be involved. [laughter]
- I am gutted.
To be in the top is enough, but who doesn't want that badge?
It's what we came here for, right?
- Saqqara and Tamara... - Mm?
- Congratulations on being safe this week.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- You did both give up roles.
The recipients of those roles were in the top.
both: Mm-hmm.
- Is there any kind of regret?
- Yeah.
[laughter]
Hell, yeah. - Straight up.
I should have made Miss Thang be one of the pop divas.
[laughter]
I've definitely learned a lesson.
I should have made her ass dance.
[laughs]
- I think, in honor of Miss Banksie,
we should all stand up and walk away very quickly.
[laughter]
- Yes, let's go!
- I'm out of here.
- Ginger deserved that badge.
But I know I did, too.
- Ugh.
- Ow.
- I want this so bad.
I'll be staying on top, baby.
- Oh, beauty.
- I gave up a role this week, and I think it cost me the win.
And I'm not doing that again, because guess what.
I'm in a competition.
Wake up, Tamara.
- Look at this.
- It does look gorgeous on you. You're not having it.
- When you get eliminated next week, can I have it?
- Ha ha! Next week? I've just won two on the bounce.
I'm going nowhere.
- I've got my eye on you, Ginger.
Two wins? I'm right behind you.
- Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary.
- [speaks indistinctly] - [screams]
[laughter]
- [singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"
The winner crowned the UK's next "Drag Race" superstar
will create their own digital series
with the producers of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Tonight, with Michelle Visage,
Alan Carr,
and extra-special guest judge Alexandra Burke.
[singing] "RuPaul's Drag Race"
May the best drag queen win, best drag queen win
- Come on, girls.
- Let's go, go, go.
- It's a new day.
Mwah. - [gags]
- It's a new day in the Werk Room, and I have got a pep in my step.
- [grunting]
- And two badges on my jacket, which feels great.
- Here we are. Congratulations, Miss Ginger.
- Thank you. [cheers and applause]
- Two badges, the front-runner.
- How does it feel? - Correct.
[laughter]
- And, look, she's got the badge cockiness already.
- Let's do a badge count. - Let's not.
[laughter]
- Let's do it.
- I'm having the most fun, which I think is the real winner of the competition.
- Sure, sweetie. [laughter]
- If I was a non-badge girl at this point, I'd be devastated.
We all know how this goes.
They need to step their pussies up or get out.
And that's just the way it is.
Does anyone here think they've got the qualities of a winner?
- I think before I came here, I didn't understand
what the nerve meant. - Yes.
- And now I'm really feeling you've really got to have nerve.
You've got to hold on to it and keep true to yourself.
The other things--you've either got it, or you don't have it,
but nerve is constantly in the back of your mind.
[sighs] I do doubt myself a lot.
But if I've got to find that nerve to win,
I am going to dig until I find it.
- Who's gonna be first this week?
- Me, please.
all: I'll have another one.
[siren wails, all scream]
- Her Majesty done already done had herses.
My queens...
all: Hiya.
- I believe that children are the future.
But I also believe
that nipples are the eyes of the face.
[laughter]
And, yes, my eyes really are down there.
[laughter]
- Is that what I think it means? - I think it might be.
- I think it is what you think.
- We're going to play some game?
- Hello, hello, hello. all: Hi.
- Hi, ladies.
- Pretty in pink.
- And then there were seven.
- Mm-hmm.
- Condragulations for making it past the halfway mark.
- Yes. - Thank you.
- Now, as you race toward the finish line,
it's time to put the pedal to the metal,
or you're going to get left in the dust.
- Hmm.
- #DragRaceUK.
Now, for this week's Maxi Challenge...
we're playing the Snatch Game.
[cheers and applause] [laughs]
- This is what I came here to do.
It's improv, it's being silly, and it's having a camp old time.
- You need to show us your best celebrity impersonation
and make me laugh my Black blankety-blank off.
[laughter]
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
[all cheering]
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- Snatch Game is the challenge that I am the most afraid of.
I mean, how could you not be?
But this is my chance to show Ru that I can be funny.
- So, baby, who are you going to do?
- The icon, the legend, Miss Dionne Warwick.
- Cute. I can see that. - Yeah.
- Okay.
- And I have, like, a little bit of some teeth to put on.
I'm going to have her diva attitude. - Yeah.
- You know, it's kind of like doing an older version of myself, to be honest.
[laughter]
But I'm hoping that, you know, that this does well,
because, I mean, I got a show Ru. - Yeah.
- What about you? Are you nervous about it at all?
- No, I'm just going to have fun. - Yeah.
- And I think that's such an important thing, is just to have fun.
I'm excited to see what everyone turns out.
- Well, let's just see how this goes.
- May the Snatch Game gods be in our favor.
[funky music]
- Who are you going to be, the log lady?
- I'm going to give the judges a bit of me bush.
- Ooh.
- Oh. - Brilliant.
- I'm so excited. - That's interesting.
- How does your Kate Bush sound?
- Have you ever heard her in an interview?
- No, I don't think so.
- She's actually quite cockney.
- Really?
- So I'm just going to dial that up to 11 and be like, all right, babes.
- [laughs] - It's me, Kate Bush.
I think Kate Bush is the perfect Snatch Game character.
We know enough about her to make her relatable.
But there's a lot of unknowns about her as well,
where I can fill in the blanks and just be silly with it.
- You're a comedian. You've been on the up.
- I'm an improv gal.
- So, yeah, I can definitely recognize you as some competition.
- Who are you doing, Ginger?
- I am doing Dame Barbara Cartland. - Of course.
- Romance novelist and horrible old bag.
[laughter]
- So you're halfway there. - Yeah, exactly.
It comes very naturally.
So, DeDe, who are you going to be? - Lady C.
I know her best from being on "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!"
- And this has to be Julia Fox. - Yeah, that's Julia Fox.
- Yes.
- I'm really stuck between the two,
because, obviously, I know Ru's going to have no idea who Lady C. is,
but I know a bunch of her quotes.
Like, there's more to go off with her.
- And Snatch Game isn't just about quoting the person.
- True. It's about kind of making something of it.
So I kind of feel almost that Julia has a bit more
to go with than Lady C. does.
I'm not really a fanatic on celebrities.
So I'm kind of jumping between
because I don't know which one's going to be better for me to do.
I'll have to see how I feel.
I'm just super excited to go up there and be a silly camp tart
and just have fun with it. - Mm.
- Your label's still in your top, babe. - I know.
- You're taking it back at the end. [laughter]
[funky music]
- Tickety-boo, how do you do?
all: Hi.
- I always get nervous seeing Ru.
But Ru has done Snatch Game all over the world.
- Hello. - Hello.
- So he knows exactly what works and exactly what doesn't.
My ears are open.
I am listening.
- I see red hair and a print dress there.
- Yeah. - Who is that?
- So this is Fanny Cradock. - Uh-huh.
She was the OG of TV cooks.
She took no shit from nobody.
- Fanny was quite a negative person.
So Vicki's going to have to work quite hard to make her Fanny likeable.
[laughing]
- I think to myself, what would she be like if she was here now,
with vegans... - Uh-huh.
- With dietary requirements? - Yes.
- She'd be having none of it. - Allergies.
- Allergies--she'd be having none of it. - Yeah.
- And I'm so excited to put that into her.
- The whole point is for you to have fun.
You can create whatever you want, as long as it's funny.
- I'm feeling prepared.
But I sometimes struggle with having something so flowy and free.
So I need to learn to relax and enjoy the ride.
- I immediately know who this is. - Good.
- This is Barbara Cartland, isn't it? - It is Barbara Cartland.
- She's been gone for a long time, hasn't she?
- Yes.
- How are you familiar with her?
- Through an iconic interview she did with Jackie Collins,
where she basically said she was going to bring down society
by having too much sex in her novels. - Yes. Yes.
- And from there, I just wanted to find out more about her.
She's just so camp. She's always wearing pink.
- Yeah.
- And there's a lot of pomp about her, which I think is really fun to play with.
- Oh, my goodness, it's so great.
Now, of course, you get to fill in the blanks.
You get to create the Barbara Cartland that you want to portray.
- To be honest, I chose Barbara because I thought
it would be a hit with Ru.
You know, you've got to get those brownie points in where you can.
Everything counts at this stage.
- Now, this looks like a movie character.
- Yeah.
- You're doing Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire.
- [high-pitched voice] That's right, my dear.
- Now, what made you decide to do this?
- [normal voice] I just love it. - Yeah.
- In that movie, honestly, she's so cheeky,
and you can be so cheeky with it. - Yeah.
- And I just think it's completely not me, and I'm excited to dive in that role
of doing that and just taking the piss and having a laugh.
- You are so naturally funny. - Mm.
- And you're funny in a way that I don't even think
you know you're funny about. - [chuckles]
- Even if you said you were going to be some Southern American...
- Yeah.
- With your accent, it would be ridiculous.
- Yeah. - It would be so stupid.
Well, let me see you try to do a Southern accent.
[Southern accent] I can do a real-- Is that Southern?
- That is Southern.
- But I think I'm feeling this, bitch.
[laughter]
I'm just really sitting back and chilling and really fucking with this.
[laughter]
[normal voice] I mean, look, Ru is pissing himself.
So, if I can make him laugh,
this accent is coming with me someway and somehow.
- Well, listen, I can't wait for Snatch Game.
It's my favorite.
You're either going to go down in a blaze of glory...
[laughter] Or a shit pool of disgust.
- Yeah.
- So you have this beautiful lamé top with blonde hair.
- It's Miss Dionne Warwick.
- Dionne Warwick. - Yeah.
- One of my absolute favorite, favorite, favorite singers of all time.
- I know, mine too. - I listen to her every day.
- Okay.
Ru is a huge Dionne Warwick fan,
and that scares the life out of me.
- What are your favorite Dionne songs?
- "What Friends Are For," of course.
- You can name her biggest hit ever but none of the other ones.
- I could name a few.
- Do it.
- [screams, laughs]
Don't make me.
[gulps]
- The thing about Snatch Game is, you know,
it's sort of a quick-paced thing, so... - Yeah.
- You know, knowing who these people are...
- Of course.
- And, you know, what their mannerisms are.
- Yeah.
- How are you going to make Dionne funny?
- Well she's very cheeky, and she always is reading everyone for filth.
- Yes.
- So I think that's what I'm really going to try and do.
She's, like, got that diva energy. - Yeah.
Now, you have a branch and a very sort of frizzy wig there.
- It's the nicest wig I've worn so far.
- Yeah. It really is. - Yeah.
- It's the smoothest hair line you've developed.
[laughter]
I'm assuming you're going to do Kate Bush.
- Yes.
- Why are you so obsessed with Kate Bush?
- I just love that she's in her own lane doing her own thing.
- Do you think you have too much reverence for Kate Bush?
- I'm not too scared of upsetting her.
I mean, she won't watch this. - Yeah.
- She lives in the woods. [laughter]
I know exactly what I need to do with this.
Kate Bush has got an answer for everything.
She'll fuck you up.
I think this could be my passage...
- Yeah. - To a badge.
- All right, well I'm excited to see your Kate Bush.
- I'll get me Bush out for you. - [laughs]
Who is that?
- So I'm thinking of doing Catherine Tate, the comedian.
- Yes. - And this is one of her characters.
It's Bernie, the dirty Irish nurse. - Uh-huh.
- Everything's filth. - I love that.
Here's the thing, though.
When you're doing someone else's material, you kind of get locked into it,
and it's hard to, you know.
It's a tricky one, that.
- This is the challenge I've been waiting for to really burst out there.
- Yeah.
- And I feel like I do this in me daily life.
I've got nine million personalities inside me.
- Do you?
- If I get my legs really high, I can fit 20 million personalities inside.
- Okay. - [chuckles]
I am so ready for this.
Let's have a camp. Bring it on, sister. [snorts]
- Now you've got these outfits here.
- I just have two options that I keep bouncing...
- Yeah. - Between.
- Who are the two people you're thinking about?
- So I've got Julia Fox... - Yes.
- Who had a couple viral moments recently. - Yes.
- And I've got Lady C., who was on "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!"
- Yes. Which one do you feel most comfortable with?
- I think Lady C. because I've got Lady C. in a couple of my numbers.
But also, I kind of think more people would know about Julia.
- I'm familiar with Lady C., not so much with Julia.
- She basically attended this awards thing,
and there was a bunch of things on, like, TikTok and da-da-da about her.
- I'm already bored. [laughter]
- Ru doesn't really know who Julia Fox is.
So...
that might just be the determining factor.
I don't know. My head's a bit here, there, and everywhere right now.
- With Snatch Game, either you get it, or you don't.
And it's rare that you sort of get it by accident.
You have to really think about who you are
in relationship to who this person is.
It's not as easy as it looks.
- I don't know if I get it.
I'm going in a bit blind, if I'm honest.
- Thank you. both: Thank you.
I'm just kind of hoping that what I do is good enough.
- Okay, listen up, ladies.
Now, later today, you'll head over to the Snatch Game
where you'll be playing with our fab celebrity contestants,
Carol Vorderman and Alexandra Burke.
[all gasp]
- If you can name a more iconic duo, I will give you a coconut.
This is the tag team I have always wanted to see.
- Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
Bye. all: Bye.
[upbeat music]
- Welcome to the Snatch Game.
Time to meet our contestants.
Let's give a big welcome to Carol Vorderman.
Hi, Carol. - Hello, you, Ru.
- Now, I hear you have a genius IQ.
Is that right? - Well, it depends.
When I've had a bit too much tequila, it does go down quite a bit.
- Oh. I would think it would go up.
[laughter]
Next, give it up for Alexandra Burke.
Your playlist is on repeat in my dressing room right now.
And you know that, right? - Oh, I am very aware.
And it's an absolute privilege.
Do you have a favorite? - Yes, "Heartbreak On Hold."
- Ooh. - That is my favorite.
That's my jam. - Yes. Oh, yes.
Okay dot-com. [laughter]
- Now, let's meet our stars.
It's the queen of romance,
Dame Barbara Cartland.
Have you ever been in love, darling?
- Oh, Ru, I myself have never been in love.
But through the joy of my novels,
I have brought love to so many people around the world.
- Have you ever read a Jackie Collins book?
- Jackie Collins is not my favorite person, Ru.
She is, in fact, the downfall of society, and I shall hear no more words about her.
[laughter]
- Okay.
Up next, six time Grammy winner
Dionne Warwick is here.
- Are you filming me?
- Yes, we are filming you.
- With that? - Yes.
- Oh.
Well, I am Dionne Warwick, and you're welcome for my presence.
[laughter]
- Up next, the '80s are back,
and so is our next guest.
Welcome Kate Bush.
[vocalizing eerily]
[coughing] - Oh. Now--
- You all right, Ru? How you doing, babe?
- Terrific.
Now, Kate Bush, you are famous for "Running Up That Hill."
How did you get back down the hill?
- I don't remember getting down, babe.
[laughter]
- Well, you're here tonight, and we are happy to have you.
Up next, the beloved Robin Williams is here.
Now, Robin, may I call you Mrs. Doubtfire?
- Oh, Ru, absolutely, my darling.
Absolutely.
- Now, I've always wanted to know, is there a Mr. Doubtfire?
- Of course there is a Mr. Doubtfire.
And I don't know what the hell that was, my little dear.
What the hell was that?
It's like I have little voices inside, Ru.
- Good to know. I'll remember that.
Up next, author and socialite
Lady Colin Campbell.
- Hello, Ru. - Yes.
- Thank you for having me on the Snatch Game.
I'm so happy I'm out of the treacherous jungle of "I'm a Celebrity."
- That's right. Would you ever do that again?
- No fucking way.
They were a bunch of zilches and bitches.
- Well, you won't have that experience here.
- Yay.
- All right, up next it's pioneering TV cook,
Fanny Cradock is here.
Hello. - Hello, RuPaul.
- Now, I always wanted to know, what's your preference?
Lovin' oven, or Dutch oven?
- Oh, baby, always the Dutch oven.
- Why is that? - Always.
Well, listen, I inspired Gordon Ramsay to do the cooking the way he does.
And once, when we met in the kitchen,
chicken wasn't the only thing raw in my oven, darling.
- Oh, really?
I want to read that cookbook.
All right, up next she's a chameleon and a comedian.
Welcome, Catherine Tate.
- Good afternoon, RuPaul.
- Or should I call you Nurse Bernie?
- You can call me whatever you like, you sweet, smooth-talking bastard.
You're a big lump of a man. - Oh.
- You've got big hands, you know what I mean?
[snorting]
[laughter]
- We are so excited to have you here.
All right, so who's ready to play the Snatch Game?
- I believe I am.
- Alexandra, Carol, here's how our game works.
I ask a question, and you give an answer
that you think will match our stars.
Here is the first question for Carol.
Alan Carr said, I like my men the way I like my tea...
- [gasps] - Blank.
Celebrities, go ahead and write your answers.
Alan Carr said, I like my men
the way I like my tea.
All right, what say you, Carol?
- I say Alan would say, with two bags.
[laughter]
- All right, well, let's see if you get any matches from our celebrities.
Barbara Cartland, what say you?
- Yes, Ru. Well, I don't know about you, but when I look at Mr. Alan Carr,
I see a young man who loves to uphold tradition...
- Yes. - And loves the finer things in life.
- [laughing]
- So I think Alan likes his tea and his men loose.
- Loose. - Loose as a handmaid's crack.
- I agree.
- Well, unfortunately, that's not a match.
[buzzer sounds] - Sorry.
- Moving on to Lady C.
What say you?
- Now, my dear, I'm not a vulgar woman.
- No. - I don't indulge in such activities.
So I said, he likes it bland.
[buzzer sounds]
You can't be mixing with any weirdo.
- Huh, that's interesting. That doesn't sound like Alan, does it?
- Not at all.
- Let's go on down to Kate Bush.
What say you? We're looking for two tea bags.
- Running down my chin.
- [laughing]
- Oh, me and Alan, we go way back.
Back in the day, we used to do this thing--
Oh, Vorders, you were there, too, weren't you?
- Was I? Probably.
- Three from the top and two big ones.
We'd go out.
You, me, Alan, the Kray twins-- no relation.
We go and do this thing, and we'd go in other people's heights.
- I think I went home that night.
- Yeah, you went home early that night.
- You know, Vorder, she sells life insurance now.
But if you think about the lives she's taken,
they'd take away her Rear of the Year Award.
- Aw. Well, unfortunately, that is not a match from Kate Bush.
[buzzer sounds]
- You have something in your hair, darling.
- Let's move on down to Fanny Cradock.
What say you?
- Without milk.
- Why do you say that?
- Well, rumor has it that Alan is a vegan.
- No vegans anywhere!
- Oh, right.
- What do vegans feed off?
Attention, Ru. - Oh, of course.
- Sniff the meat and shove it in your mouth.
- Okay.
- I was hopeful that Fanny might have two bags.
- You would think that Fanny of all people
would have given you the two bags. - Yeah.
- All right, now, the next question is for Alexandra.
Here we go.
Michelle Visage got kicked out of Primark.
She got caught blanking the mannequin.
Celebrities, go ahead and write your answer.
It looks like our celebrities have finished.
What say you, Alexandra?
- I would say she got caught judging the mannequins.
- Oh, good answer.
She's very judgy. - Oh, wow.
- Listen--yes. - Yes.
- All right, let's go to our celebrities and find out what they have to say.
Dionne Warwick. - Mm.
- You know, in Italy, they call you Dionni.
Are you aware of that, Miss Warwick?
- Well, no, I'm not.
But shall we move on?
My goodness. - Now, listen, we're looking for judging.
What say you, Dionne?
- Well, I would say, I saw her twerking.
- Twerking the mannequins. - Yes.
- Not a match for Alexandra. - No. Mm-mm.
[buzzer sounds] - Maybe we'll get one from Kate Bush.
We're looking for judging the mannequins.
What say you?
- I said, Michelle got caught "cloudbusting" the mannequins.
- What is "cloudbusting"?
- Oh, it's a gorgeous metaphor.
I was in America on a writing retreat, and I heard this gorgeous metaphor.
And I thought, no one in England knows this metaphor.
So I'm going to be the first one to bring it over here
and introduce it to the UK.
- Yes. Alexandra, are you familiar with American metaphors?
- I think I am, yes.
- Uh-huh, yes, unfortunately. Yes. - Yeah.
- All right, so no match there. - No.
[buzzer sounds] - Let's move on down to Robin Williams.
What say you?
- I said dry-humping, RuPaul.
- Dry-humping the mannequin. - Dry-humping.
Now, I said, ooh, chile.
Oh, my--holy shit!
She's dry-humping everything in sight, girl.
I said, girl.
- [laughing]
- She already done had herses.
- Oh, my gosh. - Sorry. Sorry.
Sometimes it just jumps out. - It certainly does.
Unfortunately, that's not a match. [buzzer sounds]
We're looking for judging. What say you, Barbara?
- Well, Michelle, like me, knows
that sometimes men need a hand to look their best.
So she was caught screwing the mannequins.
- [laughing]
- Yes, they were a little loose, so she twiddled their knobs
until they stood to attention.
- I see. - Yeah.
- I think that sounds like a Jackie Collins answer to me.
- Oh, Ru, how dare you?
Jackie and I aren't even on the same planet, Ru.
No, I'm actually writing my newest novel right now.
- What's it called?
- Well, it's all about how a chaste young woman
falls in love with the bell ringer at the local church.
It's called "Love Under the Parson's Dong."
[laughter]
- I'm riveted. - Yes.
- Cannot wait to read that one.
Well, Alexandra, not a match for you. - No.
[buzzer sounds] - Let's move on to Fanny.
What say you?
- I said undressing the mannequin.
- Why would she do that?
- Because Michelle Visage has filthy, filthy hands.
God knows where they've been.
I always make men wash their hands
before they finger my fruitcake, Ru.
- But Michelle Visage is not a man. - Of course.
But like myself, I've had many a partner, Ru.
- Oh, hmm. All right.
That's not a match. [buzzer sounds]
We still have another chance.
Catherine Tate, we're looking for judging.
What say you?
- Well, RuPaul, Michelle's the woman after me own heart.
You know what I mean? [snorts]
So, if I was in her position, I said...
finger-blasting the mannequins.
[snorting] - Finger-blasting the mannequin.
- [snorting ] - Unfortunately, that's not a match.
[buzzer sounds] All right, Carol, you are up.
Are you ready for your question? - I am.
- All right, here we go.
To keep his talk show fresh, before the camera rolls,
Graham Norton likes to blank his guests.
- Oh.
- Think about that for a minute.
All right, the celebrities are writing their answers.
All right, here we go.
Graham Norton likes to blank his guests.
What say you? - Frisking.
- Yes, like, for the security of--
In these days, you can't be too sure. - Oh, yeah, yeah.
- Let's go to our celebrities and see if you got any matches.
We're looking for frisk. What say you, Mrs. Doubtfire?
- Now, Ru, she likes to make a nice cup of tea.
- Oh, that's very pleasant.
- And do you know what I always say, Ru?
I always say, oh, hello, my dear.
Would you like one? Oh, well...
Would you like one drop or two, dear?
How many drops do you like, Ru?
- Two. - Perfect.
Two, two, two.
[laughter]
- Someone get a damp flannel. Fucking hell.
- Not a match there. [buzzer sounds]
Let's move on down to Lady C.
- I said that he shows his collection of bugs to his guests.
- His collection of bugs. How do you know he collects bugs?
- Doesn't everyone collect bugs?
- Um, no.
- They're gorgeous creatures.
The deadly scorpion--
I like to give this to the bitches who dragged me in the jungle.
[laughter]
- Oh, dear. - Oh.
- Well, listen, Lady C., not a match.
[buzzer sounds] Are you going to be okay, Lady C.?
- Not my first time at the rodeo.
- Oh, lovely. Okay.
Let's move on to--
Oh, my goodness, Catherine Tate has changed characters.
- Who, dear? Me, dear? Changed, dear?
Yes, dear. - Oh.
I see that Derek is in the house. - That's right, dear.
Got to be very careful what I put in my mouth.
- Yes.
Now, Graham Norton likes to frisk his guests.
- Beg your pardon?
How very dare you? - [laughs]
- Graham Norton... - Yes.
- Blanks his guests? - Yes.
- What on Earth are you insinuating, dear?
That I watch gay TV?
Just because a man wears a little bit of foundation,
takes care of his appearance,
you accuse him of being a back door Deirdre?
- Oh.
- I've never been so insulted. [laughter]
- Okay, I think his answer was, how very dare you, was the answer,
which, unfortunately, is not a match. [buzzer sounds]
Alexandra, are you ready for your question?
- I'm so ready. - All right, here we go.
Dora the dumb drag queen is so dumb,
when her head hurts, she takes off her blank.
Celebrities, go ahead and write down your answer.
All right, let's go to you, Alexandra. - Her shoes.
- She needs to rest those feet.
- All right, I think it's a great answer.
Let's go to Barbara Cartland.
Barbara, we're looking for shoes. What say you?
- Well Dora is, of course, married
and will do anything to please her husband.
So, when her head hurts, she takes off her dentures
and heads back down for another go.
[laughter]
- I know that's right, girl.
- Oh, I love that. - That was brilliant.
- Not a match but a good answer. [buzzer sounds]
- Your more than welcome, Ru.
- Let's move on to Fanny Cradock.
She takes off her...
- Dress. [buzzer sounds]
- You got the article of clothing.
It's just not the right article of clothing.
We're looking for shoes, Fanny. - I know.
- Unfortunately, it's not a match.
Let's move on down to Dionne Warwick.
We're looking for shoes. - Shoes.
- Well, I said she takes off her knickers.
- Uh-huh. Yes.
- And then she throws them in La Toya Jackson's face.
- Huh. - Yes.
Would you like to come with me to egg La Toya Jackson's car?
- I love La Toya. She's been on our show many times.
- She's a friend of yours, I know. - She's a friend.
But it won't keep me from egging her house with you.
- I mean, it should be fun. [laughter]
- Not a match. [buzzer sounds]
Let's move on down to Kate Bush. - All right, babe.
- What say you?
- Now, me and Alexandra, we're cut from the same cloth.
- Are you?
- And we can do it even better
in broken red shoes.
- Yes, you got a match.
- You can pay me later, babe, round the back.
- Absolutely. - Amazing.
Amazing. You got one.
[alarm blaring] Oh, wait a minute.
That sound means someone's breaking into my car.
- [gasps]
- Listen, I got to get out of here.
The winner is... [drumroll]
Alexandra. She got one point.
- Yay. - Yes.
- Yes, babe.
- Thank you, Carol.
You were wonderful. - Oh, I've loved it.
- And thank you, stars, for your wonderful answers.
And we'll see you next time on the Snatch Game.
- Uh-huh. - Good night, everybody.
- Good night. - Good night, babe.
[gentle electronic music]
- Here we go. Another day. - Another day.
- Here we go. Let's get ready. - Let's get ready.
- Today's Elimination Day.
And after yesterday's Snatch Game, I'm feeling great.
- It's me. - Look how fucking orange you look, girl.
- Rude.
- There were definitely people that did worse than me--
a lot worse than me.
- Hey, Tomara, you had me ill yesterday.
- Oh, it's only because Ru was fucking saying that,
and he was howling when I was doing it.
So I was like, well, fuck it, I'll just do it.
I'll do it. - You make me die.
[upbeat music]
- What face are you doing today? - A pretty one.
- Don't want to take this off. - I'm going to do this.
- Look at this.
The things we do for Barbara Cartland.
Doing the Snatch Game was an out-of-body experience.
I think it went quite well.
I just tried to have as much fun as I could
because that's the name of the game.
- How are you feeling today?
Because I can imagine you might feel the same sort of way I do.
- Yeah, I just feel really shit.
[sighs] It's just so disappointing, isn't it?
You just feel like you've let yourself down, and--
- Yeah. - I knew what I needed to do to go in.
And I just didn't do any of it. - Yeah.
- I don't think Fanny Cradock's going to invite me for dinner anytime soon.
I know she's dead.
And I think she's going to be grateful
because that performance would have killed her off.
- I just blanked when I sat down.
I was like, I don't know what to do, really.
I just--I ran out of ideas, like, from the get-go.
I think I really shot myself in the foot preparing for Snatch Game.
I genuinely just thought that I could get away with it
with just doing it in the moment.
But I'm not going to dwell on it.
I'm going to focus on what I can do today to prove myself.
[upbeat music]
- Oh, yeah, do you want a laugh? - Always.
- Do you want to see the past me of drag?
- Shut up.
Nah.
- No, like, you're going to die.
- Ah!
Shut up.
Enough. [laughter]
Look at that.
- What are you two cackling about?
- Do you want to see me the first ever time in drag?
- Yes. - Yes, absolutely.
- You are not ready for this. - We're ready.
- I'm ready.
- Tomara was born by my dance teacher.
She was like, we're going to put you in drag.
Are you ready? - Yeah.
[all gasp]
- Who is that? - Who's this?
- That's Miss Tomara Thomas, babe.
And then the rest was history. [laughs]
Oh, look at me little mom. - You look like her a lot.
- God, you're such a cutie. - How old are you?
- I was about 14, 15.
I used to have a song and dance, campus tits,
singing Shirley Bassey, "I Am What I Am."
And I used to wipe the floor with the competition,
win all the trophies... - Oh.
- Oh, my-- - Looking that busted.
[laughter]
- Tomara's pictures of her first time in drag
are so adorable.
It's really interesting to see what that face actually looks like.
[laughs]
- Did you have a drag name?
- I was called Tomara. - Shut up.
- Yeah. - At 14?
- Yeah, and then I was in the newspapers
for winning this championship.
And then I was on "Daybreak," youngest drag queen at 14.
- Oh, my God.
- Me, sat getting interview with my little Primark jumper like this.
Loving it.
- Bet you thought, this is it. I've won.
- Yeah, I thought, I've made it big. Sign me up.
- That is so cute. - That is so cute.
- She was just born screaming, high-kicking,
the camp dripping out of her.
Bless her chubby little cheeks.
- I can't believe you were doing that at 14.
That's so brave.
- I just, like--I really wasn't bothered.
And then me mum was just so supportive, so I just went for it.
- God, it was just so different for me,
because it was so, like, taboo when I was 14.
- How old did you get into drag?
- When I moved to Gran Canaria, when I was, like, 21, 22.
Even then, drag was just not an art form at all.
- Yeah, yeah. - It was dead underground
and, like, frowned upon.
- That's mad, though, isn't it? - It's crazy.
It's just so nice to see that you had that support.
Like... - Yeah.
- Look at you now, babes. I love that.
What's your mom's name? - Shazac.
- God bless our Shazac. - We love our Shazac.
[upbeat music]
- Cara, what was your first time in drag like?
- It was actually in high school.
We were putting on, like, this show as a fundraiser.
And then they were like, who's got the sass?
Oh, Sterling.
[laughter]
And so Cara Melle was born.
And I was, like, 17 years old, and it's been the same name ever since.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I wish my grandma could have seen me in drag.
That would have been really nice. - Really?
- Yeah, we used to go and play this game
when my sister used to go to dance lessons.
And then in the big department store in Newcastle,
we'd go into the fancy-hat section where we used to play this game,
where one of us would stand in front of the mirror and close our eyes.
And then the other one would go and choose one of the hats
from the shelves and then put it on your head.
And then when you opened your eyes, you had to put on a character
based on the hat that was put on your head and, like, be silly in the mirror.
So that was, like, my initiation into drag, really.
- That sounds incredible. - Yeah.
How did your parents react when you told them you were a drag queen?
Were you nervous about telling them?
- No, because I started drag when I was at uni.
So... - Mm.
- [laughing] It was probably the most reckless thing I did at uni.
Once we'd got through the gay coming out,
everything else was free and easy.
- Yeah, like second level. - Yes.
- Like new level unlocked. Guess what. Now I've got tits.
[laughter] - Honey, I feel that.
[upbeat music]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
[laughter]
- [singing] Cover girl, put the bass in your walk
Head to toe, let your whole body talk
[applause]
And what?
Welcome to the main stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK."
Since 1986, the world's number-one Madonna impersonator,
Michelle Visage.
- Impersonator?
I don't even know her. - [chuckles]
And the super-spec-sy Alan Carr.
Now, how's your Snatch Game?
- Fresh as a daisy.
One squirt of Febreze, and it's good to go.
[laughter] - Maybe two squirts?
- Yeah.
- And the fabulous Alexandra Burke.
Now, which was better?
Winning "X Factor" or winning the Snatch Game?
Well, you know, Ru, "X Factor" did change my entire life.
But I have to say, Snatch Game gave me life.
Yes, honey. Mm!
- It certainly did. And it ruined your reputation.
[laughter]
This week we challenged our queens to snatch our attention
with their best celebrity impersonations.
And tonight on the runway, category is "Heart-ons."
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
[electronic music]
Category is "Heart-ons."
Up first, Tomara Thomas.
She already done had nurses.
- On today's runway, we are serving heart.
Boom, boom. Boom, boom.
- Oh. - Oh.
- Is that an aorta in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
- I mean, where is she hiding the thermometer?
- I am shining. I am glistening.
I've got my slutty little pleasers on, and I am feeling hot.
I am stunning! [laughs]
- She's got a cute angina.
- I think she just came from open-tart surgery.
[laughter]
Up next, Vicki Vivacious.
[music continues]
- It's the queen of tarts, yes.
- I am serving you Elizabeth I
meets "Alice in Wonderland" realness.
I feel so regal.
Oh, my God, I'm totally living for this look.
- She wears her heart on her sleeve. - Mm-hmm.
She's going to love 'em and sleeve em.
- I think this outfit sums up my drag so much.
It's absolute perfection to look at.
I feel like I could bring anyone down in this outfit.
Off with your head.
- Kate Butch.
- You know what they say about Kate Butch?
- What? - She loves seamen.
[laughter]
- Ahoy there, sailor.
all: Ooh.
- I am serving a fabulous vintage
"Anything Goes" pin-up-style situation.
- You heard of "Anything Goes"?
- Yeah? - That's anything blows.
[laughter]
- It's my first fashion reference.
Can you spell Gaultier?
Because I can't.
- The cheek. - Lovely portholes.
[laughter]
- Up next, Michael Marouli.
- Sadly, she was a chain smoker.
[laughter]
- The inspiration for this look-- I thought, why not do something different?
Let's do avant-garde.
- Oh. - Oh!
- Caught her red-handed. [laughter]
- I went bald when I was 21.
At first, that was quite an insecurity of mine.
But I've really embraced it, and I think it looks stunning.
So why not do a bald look and celebrate it?
- Ooh, don't go breaking into my heart.
- I got to tell you, this armless trend is really taking off.
- It is. Oh.
- I'm so proud of this look.
I know my face is beat for the gods.
Everything is just beyond. And I just feel fierce as fuck.
- Now my organ's enlarged. [laughter]
- Up next, double DeDeLicious.
Now, she wears her heart on her titty.
- Why not?
- For once, DeDe's not wearing a breastplate.
I've got my natural shoulders out.
I wanted to do something a bit different.
[laughing] It's literally hearts stuck on a corset.
- Oh, it's a work of artery. - [laughs]
- Being someone who's never been in love before,
it's kind of like a depiction of what I think it is.
You know, you've got the arrows in, because love hurts.
I've seen it, and that's why I don't want it.
But it's also gorgeous, just like this outfit.
- Heart to heart. When they met, it was murder.
[laughter]
- Ginger Johnson.
- Take your aorta to the slaughter.
- My look today is a callback to my club-kid days.
So I'm kind of somewhere in between an anatomical heart
and a bouncy castle.
- Can I buy a valve? - [laughs]
- I'm trying to give it a bit hard edge.
And I'm trying to give a little bit of a sexy edge today.
I've shaved my armpits for the first time in 15 years,
and they fucking kill me.
[laughing] So I hope it's worth it.
- She's so vain, she probably thinks this runway is about her.
- She does. [laughter]
- Cara Melle.
- Designed by designer O Positive.
- My favorite film genre is horror and thriller.
So I decided to do a twisted fantasy
of the Queen of Hearts.
- Oh, looks like it was a bad breakup.
- She's having a heart a-snack.
[laughter]
- I'm just showing you that I can give you levels.
I got the nerve.
And I got some uniqueness and talent and the charisma.
- Cara Melle, eat your heart out. - Yes.
[laughter]
- Welcome, ladies.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Michael Maroulis...
Cara Melle...
you are both safe. - Thank you.
You may leave the stage. - Thank you.
[dramatic music]
- Ladies, you are the tops and bottom queens of the week.
It's time for the judges' critiques.
First up, Tomara Thomas.
- Tomara, you were Robin Williams in the Snatch Game.
And to be completely honest,
if you would have stayed in that one character,
it would have failed and flopped. - Mm-hmm.
- But because you injected insanity
and ridiculousness and stupidity into that character,
it worked.
- She already done had herses.
- It was a performance so manic,
so spontaneous, it's what you'd expect from Robin himself.
And then you come on the runway, and you go,
oh, can I just remind you how sexy I am? [laughter]
- The corset, the hair, your nails--
just flawless, and I'm just blown away by you.
You're just an amazing queen, and you're fabulous.
- Thank you, baby. - Fabulous.
- Very sexy, very burlesque-y, very chic.
So I thought tonight was very strong for you, Tomara.
It was a very wise choice to take Robin Williams around the world.
- Thank you very much.
- So, when I interviewed you in the Werk Room,
I said, do you do any other accents?
You pulled out this Southern thing.
And, of course, I started laughing. - Yeah.
- It was ridiculous.
It was so stupid
and all of the things that we love.
- Oh, thank you. - Very funny.
Thank you. - Thank you.
- All right, up next, Vicki Vivacious.
- You look like you're absolutely bricking it,
am I right?
- Spot on. both: Yeah.
I can feel it. - [smacks lips]
- Fanny Cradock-- you looked like her.
You had some moments, but it just wasn't funny.
Like, you didn't capture what needed to be captured.
- Without milk.
- I just think you are an overthinker,
and you got too far into trying to become her
instead of having fun with her.
- It's always so hard.
I've been on that side as well, being critiqued,
and it's never easy.
But, you know, I have to agree.
In the moment, it just didn't land properly.
- 100%.
- Now can we talk about this runway look?
Oh, my God, it was pure theater.
Couldn't take my eyes off you. Just didn't like your Fanny.
[laughter]
- This outfit is beautiful.
Everything about it-- the cape with the puffy sleeves,
the hearts, the makeup with it, the headpiece.
It fits you like a glove. It really is beautifully done.
- Thank you.
- This outfit is absolutely gorgeous.
It is perfection.
You're not corseted, are you? - No, not at all. No.
- Oh, wow. - You bitch.
- Oh, wow.
- For the first time in "Drag Race" herstory...
[dramatic music]
I'm going to use the trap door.
[buzzer sounds, laughter]
You know how to do it.
And I think that was part of the problem with your Fanny Cradock.
You know, that old adage of learn it, learn it, learn it,
now forget everything and go have fun.
- [sighs] You know, I came out, and for some strange reason,
I felt like everything was being sucked out of me in that chair.
- You know, you performed Fanny Cradock perfectly.
You just didn't allow anyone else in.
- Yeah.
- Well, thank you, Vicki. - Thank you.
- Up next, Kate Butch.
- Hello, my darling. - [deep voice] Oh, hi, babes.
- Oh, gosh.
You're back again. [laughter]
- Vorders, you were there, too, weren't you?
- Was I? Probably.
- Three from the top and two big ones.
- Your Kate Bush was fantastic. - Thank you.
- You created this wonderful character that I'm sure Kate Bush is nothing like.
But there's a bit of us where we think, oh, I wish she was like that.
That really tickled my comedy bone because I love craziness and silliness.
- You, Kate Butch, have an affinity
for de-robing to really not exciting outfits.
[laughter]
It's like a reveal to--meh.
- Yeah.
I mean, listen, we've seen navel before.
I think it was more than that.
I think it was, ooh.
Yeah. - I'll take ooh.
- It's getting better, isn't it? - Yeah.
- I really love what you've done with your makeup tonight.
I really do see you pushing yourself.
So I think tonight was a strong night for you.
- Thank you. - You're welcome, my love.
- Yes, the look is, you know, it's right on brand
with Kate Butch.
And in the Snatch Game, it was an interesting adaptation.
- Thank you for letting me be a stupid idiot.
- Yes. No, well, we insist.
[laughter]
Thank you. - Thank you.
- All right, up next, DeDeLicious.
- Lady Colin Campbell.
She is a very specific, very watchable human being.
But, DeDe, you did her a disservice by just putting her in the jungle.
She's so much more than that.
- Doesn't everyone collect bugs?
- Um, no.
- It's just one of those odd British characters.
You either crank that up to 100%,
or you create another trait, like Kate Butch does, and go with it.
You didn't take it anywhere, you know. - Yeah.
- I would love to have seen you have more fun with the character.
However, your runway walk today,
I think you look sensational.
Your makeup-- I wish I could do my makeup like you.
- Thank you.
- The way the hearts are and they're so puffy, I almost lose your shape in it.
So I love the idea of it,
but the execution, I think, missed it a little bit
because I don't want to miss out on you.
- Yeah. Agreed.
- Those arrows, it does look like you've queue jumped
in the old sushi, and someone's attacked you with two chopsticks.
- They are chopsticks. [laughter]
If we have sushi tonight, I could just take them back out...
- There you go. - And just go in.
- You get that sashimi, girl.
- Walk me through your experience sitting in that chair.
- I sat down, and everything in my head just left, you know?
- Yeah. - It just kept getting worse and worse.
- We wanted your Lady C. to party,
and you were stuck in doing the one dance.
You see what I'm saying? - Yeah.
- Thank you double DeDeLicious.
Up next, Ginger Johnson.
- I thought Barbara Cartland was an odd choice.
But then it soon turned out it was the best choice you could have made.
- Loose as a handmaid's crack, [laughter]
- For me, it was just comedy gold.
Carol and I, our cheeks were hurting, and it was fabulous.
- I think that sounds like a Jackie Collins answer to me.
- Oh, Ru, how dare you?
- You played with Ru.
It was just really fun and really smart.
And your look tonight is pumping.
It's just ridiculous.
You're a walking heart.
It's just stupid.
- I think the NHS should take you to hospitals,
and people can just point on it where they feel ill.
I've got cholesterol.
There, Ginger.
[laughter]
- What you did as Barbara Cartland,
it was really a master class in Snatch Game.
- Thank you. - Really, really well done.
How would you describe how to play it?
- I think the key thing is to choose somebody
that wants to be there,
because once I let Barbara out, you know,
she wanted to be in there and give her a point of view.
And I think that really helped me, anyway.
- That's great advice.
Thank you. - Thank you.
- All right, well, thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
Now, while you untuck in the Werk Room,
the judges and I will deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
[engine turning over, revs]
- [grunts] - Safe at Snatch Game.
Can you believe it? - Honestly.
- When she called our name, I was literally going, please God.
Please God. And she said safe. - Yeah, yeah.
- I was like, oh.
I feel so excited to be here another week.
Ooh. - [moaning]
- Give it to me, baby. - Oh, yeah.
- And to slay whatever comes next.
Second week safe in a row.
- Coasting.
Like, this week and last week, I was safe.
So whatever is happening next, I need to really dig deep.
I know that my runways are there. - Mm-hmm.
- But it's the challenges where I, like, just fall a bit short.
- Yeah.
- I'm Almost there, but something is just holding me back.
And I think it's just, like, in my own head.
I am not being lost in the fray.
You might need help getting up. Hold on.
But I just need to just bring myself from here to here.
- Oh! - [sighs]
- Whoo! - Hey, Miss Thang!
- Hey, girl.
- Come over here, Robin Williams. - Come on, girls.
- Oh, goodness me.
I'm back and untucked, and I've come to terms with the fact
that I will be lip-synching this week.
And I really do think it's going to be me and DeDe.
- Spill the tea. - Yeah, what's the tea?
- Me and DeDe are the top two queens of the week.
[cheering]
- Girls, I'm not going to lie.
Like, we absolutely smashed it.
Obviously, they said, like, I didn't get many laughs.
Michelle said she was unsure in the shape of my outfit,
which 100% agree with.
Obviously, yes, I'm bottom two.
But I feel a bit uplifted because I was expecting hellfire.
Ready for the lip sync?
I don't feel too bad.
I know I'm in the bottom, obviously,
but I'm about to show a whole nother performance side to DeDe.
So get ready, girl.
- Now, how do you feel?
- Listen, girl, I know I did so bad.
I bombed.
The only saving grace tonight was, they think that this outfit is just perfection.
- Babe, look at you. - It is.
- I'm going to just go out, and have the best time
and perform this number.
- This is what you do, baby. - Yeah.
Being told that I look perfection from RuPaul
is the most amazing critique I could ask for.
If I have to lip-synch in this, I am going to feel so strong and so powerful.
And I'm already going to feel like a winner.
- What did they say?
- Most of the judges said I was really funny.
- You got really good critiques.
- And they did say that they could see that I was trying with my makeup
and hair and everything. - You look gorgeous, darling.
- They said the outfit was cute.
I mean, Michelle said, meh, but Alan said, ooh.
[laughter]
And Alexandra said I had the most gorgeous outfit on the runway
and she wishes she was me.
But I don't think her microphone was on at that point.
[laughter]
Really unfortunate, isn't it?
Listen, I'm not stupid.
So I'm not going to be the fashion girl of the season.
I've got what I've got, and I like what I've got.
I just need to walk the runway with confidence.
- Ginger. - Yeah, let's get over her.
- Come on, spill.
- What did they say about your big ass?
- They said that my outfit was idiotic, but they really liked it.
And they said I did really well in the Snatch Game.
They keep saying how stupid my outfits are,
and I thought I was quite sexy today.
- But I love stupid.
I mean, look at your titty hanging out.
- Yeah, well, you know...
- Ginger, nothing says sexy like blocked arteries.
[laughter]
You look fucking amazing. You always do.
- So you think Ginger might get a third bag?
- I mean-- - In a row?
Really? - Whoo!
I would love to win again.
But maybe I've got to leave some crumbs for these other girls.
Who knows?
[laughs]
- And now, what did they say about you?
- They just said the Robin Williams was crazy.
- Yeah, it was.
- But, like, what did they say about the outfit?
- They just said it's, like, very burlesque sexy vibes.
- Yeah.
- One minute, you're Mrs. Doubtfire, old woman.
Next minute, you're just this gorgeous angel.
- I mean-- - No, I'm joking.
- You could do it all.
- I am very surprised I'm in the top.
[laughs] Who would have known?
- Who should be preparing for the lip sync?
Who do we think it's going to be?
- I am going to go out, and I'm going to do it.
Miss DeDe has the experience.
You've won a lip sync, and I've won a lip sync.
- And what an honor to be able to share a moment
like that with you, so...
- But, DeDe, if you want to do a Ginny Lemon, just go ahead, girl.
[laughter]
- No, bitch.
- All right, now just between us squirrel friends, what do you think?
Tomara Thomas.
- Yeah, when I saw Robin Williams, I was like, uh-oh.
This is going to be a disaster.
But my fear just evaporated. - Yeah.
- Tomara took Robin Williams on a world tour
to Scotland, at La Boule,
and that's why we were laughing because we didn't know what was going
to come out of her mouth next.
- And then the runway just blew my mind
because everything was just, for me, perfection.
- Tomara doesn't ever really disappoint on the runway, does she?
- There's always something extra.
- The extra thing is her ass.
Very strong night for Miss Tomara Thomas.
- All right, let's talk about Vicki Vivacious.
- Now, Fanny Cradock--
she not only wasn't funny, she got in her head.
- You could have had more fun with that character.
And I, for one, absolutely can understand that when you start overthinking things,
it's so difficult to get yourself out of that place.
- This look tonight, I'm going to say it--pun intended--
was heart-stopping.
- [laughs]
- It was drama.
If only she'd brought a bit of that drama to Fanny Cradock.
- The attention to details with her outfits--
she got the look down pat.
But she wasn't able to have the fun.
Have fun. That's what the brief was.
All right, let's talk about Kate Butch.
- Kate Butch as Kate Bush.
I do really enjoy what Kate Butch did with her.
She made her kind of... [deep voice] You all right, babes?
- I like what she did with the deep voice.
But once she came up with the deep voice, she sort of went, oh, that's it.
Now I can relax.
- The runway reveal was cute.
And cute's the only word that I can associate with it.
- She really does have an affinity for doing
a reveal to mediocre.
And I'm not being shady. I am just being honest.
But she is really trying to progress, and you can see that in her makeup.
- Listen, her characterization was funny at times.
Did we get a different side of Kate Butch?
Not really. - Mm.
- Let's talk about DeDeLicious.
- Lady C. is a piece of work.
And what DeDe did wrong was she trapped her in the jungle.
- Come on, where's the laughs?
You've got to have sharp elbows in Snatch Game.
You've got to get in there because no one's going to give you a free ride.
- She definitely owned it on the runway
because she probably knew that the Snatch Game wasn't her best.
- But that outfit had no shape.
It was a walking kind of blob fish.
- And let's not even mention the chopsticks.
[laughter]
- Now, her Snatch Game--
listen, it just didn't work for our double DeDeLicious.
All right, let's talk about Ginger Johnson.
- Oh, Ginger.
I mean, I thought that she was just a sensation in the Snatch Game.
- Yeah, Barbara Cartland was an inspired choice.
She generated jokes.
- And tonight on the runway,
she found a way to make an anatomically correct heart
with a waistline. - Yeah.
- And it worked. - Yeah.
- I do like the way she comes down the runway.
She always looks like she's got something better to do.
[laughter]
- I thought she handled Snatch Game like a real pro.
I loved it.
I think Ginger Johnson is a real player in this competition.
All right... [claps hands]
Silence. I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
Welcome back, ladies.
Based on your Snatch Game performances
and your heart-ons runway,
I've made some decisions.
[suspenseful music]
Tomara Thomas, you are safe.
- Thank you. - You may join the other girls.
[music continues]
Ginger Johnson...
when it comes to playing Snatch Game,
you wrote the book.
Condragulations. You are the winner of this week's challenge.
- Yes. [applause]
- What the hell is going on?
What is happening?
To get that validation again from Ru
is...
[sighs] It's mind-blowing.
- And the recipient of a coveted RuPeter Badge.
[choral music playing]
- Thank you.
- You may join the other girls. - Thanks.
[sniffles, sighs]
[upbeat music]
- Kate Butch...
[suspenseful music]
You're safe.
- Thank you.
[music continues]
- You may join the other girls. - Thank you.
Love you.
[music continues]
- Vicki Vivacious, DeDeLicious,
I'm sorry my dears, but you are up for elimination.
- I'm brushing any nerves aside.
Let's have fun. I look bloody amazing.
- Two queens stand before me.
I've consulted with the judges,
but the final decision is mine to make.
Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance
of "Heartbreak On Hold"
by Alexandra Burke.
Any relation? [laughter]
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me
and save yourself from elimination.
[dramatic music]
The time has come... [thunder rumbles]
For you to lip-synch...
for your life.
[music continues]
- Oh, my God, I'm ready to absolutely de-devour this.
Buckle up, baby.
- Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
[singing] Heartbreak on hold
[laughter]
- Okay!
[singing] I tried everything to get over you
Trying to make it through
And nothing ever seems to work
Dead in the bed
1,000 tears are shed
Wish you'd get out my head
Nothing takes away the hurt
I can't stay here
Can't stay, I'm going out
Tonight I'm dancing all alone
Heartbreak on hold
Close my eyes
It's time to let you go [cheering]
Heartbreak on hold
Gonna take it to the dance floor, do it on my own
[music continues]
Tonight putting my heartbreak on hold
Heartbreak on hold
How you're moving sets me free
Dance away all
Of my memories
Not going to let this pain take over me
Tomorrow's gonna be a new day
New day, new day, new day
[laughter]
I can't stay, I'm going out tonight
I'm dancing all alone
Heartbreak on hold
Close my eyes
[music continues]
Gonna take it to the dance floor
Doing it on my own
Tonight putting my heartbreak on hold
Heartbreak on hold
[screaming laughter]
[steady music]
- Oh, my gosh.
I'm done.
- Wow, ladies, I've made my decision.
[suspenseful music]
DeDeLicious...
shantay, you stay.
- Thank you.
- You may join the other girls.
- [sighs]
[music continues]
Vicki Vivacious, when you put your whole heart into something,
you can never lose.
Now sashay away.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you for believing in me when loads of people haven't.
Thank you so much. Love you all. [smooching]
Thank you so much. - Thank you.
all: Love you. - We love you.
- Love you, girls. Love you.
From Cornwall with love.
Now put those bloody pasties in the oven!
I'm coming home!
[laughter]
[music continues]
I am devastated not to make it to the end.
But I am so proud to be the first Cornish girl ever
on "Drag Race" around the world.
It feels incredible.
I hope I've made you proud, Cornwall.
I love you, and I'll see you soon.
[music continues]
- Condragulations, queens.
And, remember, if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
Can I get an "amen" up in here?
all: Amen.
- All right, now let the music play.
[singing] To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon, baby
To the moon, come on and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon
Next time on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK"...
You need to screen-test in one of three dramas.
[all gasp]
- Action.
- Oh.
- Who's the hottie de-robed in my bedroom quarters?
- Bloody hell!
Line?
- I think this is going to be a bit of a shit show.
- It was manic.
It was deranged.
- It blew my eyebrows off.
- We might be in trouble, girls. - No.
- I am praying to the drag gods to help me this week.
- [singing] To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon, blast off
To the moon, come on and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon, baby
To the moon, come on and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon
To the moon, blast off
To the moon, come on and take me away
To, to, to, to the moon, to the moon, to the moon
