[RuPaul] Previously on Canada's Drag Race...
It is up to you to take these looks from
off-the-rack to off-the-hook.
I guess at the end of the day there's just
too much of the original look.
Thank you.
Kiki Coe, condragulations!
Oh yes!
Why should I save you?
I don't think you should save me.
Wait, girl, what?
The queen that I save is Melinda.
Nearah Nuff, shantay, you stay.
Aimee Yonce Shennel...
shantay, you also stay.
What?
♪
And just like that, we're still at top 9.
There's a lot of emotions.
There's a lot of tension in this room right now.
We all have something to say.
I'm not gagging.
Congratulations to both Aimee and Nearah.
-That was fucking fierce. -Thank you.
So, were you guys expecting me to go home tonight?
-Yeah. -Yes.
I thought so, yes.
But I would like to say that I am happy that
Aimee is still here because...
obviously, in Untucked,
things were just being thrown around.
At least I got a positive fucking critique.
You did, but it doesn't save you.
You're still on the bottom.
And I can send you the fuck home.
There is just a weird energy between me and Aimee,
which is mostly just coming from my part.
But I want to mend that with you.
Well, you don't have to apologize for that because
that's the way you feel, and I do respect that.
If you don't like me, you don't like me.
I'm just a little confused when there's like...
someone sitting here saying that they are like
giving up, and don't want to be here.
Listen, I'm not giving up.
I put on my boots, I got ready to lip synch.
I'm not here right now because I want to be here.
I'm here right now because of the people still believing
that I still should be here.
I'm now realizing my presence here is much, much bigger...
than my desire to be here,
and I have now to fight for those people,
including this person right here,
including the people that I helped....
build their garment.
I helped you finish that look that
you have right now on your head.
That would have been nice if at least to have been
mentioned on that stage that I'm not a complete
fucking idiot when it came to fashion.
Well, I thanked you and I appreciated you, but like,
at the end of the day, there was a challenge,
and I understood the assignment.
I understood the assignment in my own way.
Melinda, you're saying that you don't want to be here.
At that point, yes.
Do you still want it?
I don't think I want it as much.
♪
But a lot has happened between there,
that point, and now.
That's a quick turnaround.
Wait, hold on, enough about that.
You're here, and you have the right to be here
because Kiki chose you to be here.
-10,000% -So Kiki...
I want to know, why did you choose Melinda?
So, the reason why I chose Melinda, it's because-
You have an alliance.
♪
[Sighing] Oh my God.
Not only, not only of this week...
but also of the past, the past weeks.
I don't want to hear what you said earlier.
That really disappointed me to hear it from you.
You're here, so show it that you want to be here.
We can't keep begging girls to want to be here.
-That's not why we're here. -Literally.
You either show up and you do the fucking challenge,
or go home!
I just hope you....
can't ever say that again.
Why can I not say what I just said?
I said what I said.
-[Indistinct shouting] -That's how I felt!
I know, but if you feel that way again-
Why would you say that I can't say that?
-That's how I felt! -I'm not saying you can't-
...the consequence that might have brought,
I was ready to fucking face!
And she saved me and I...
That's not what I said.
...decided not to decline, which I was ready to!
I decided not to decline because this person here
showed kindness on that fucking stage!
And I needed to reciprocate that with gratitude!
-Whoa, okay. -And that's why I said-
-Whoa! -[Indistinct shouting]
Okay, Melinda! [Indistinct shouting]
That's not what I said! I just said...
Fuck this noise!
Bitch, you should have sent her home.
There we go! There's the energy!
You made a bad choice. Sorry!
[Melinda] I'm not here for it.
Well, we're not here for it either!
Fuck!
♪ [Suspenseful] ♪
Oh, I love being part of the drama,
but not being the drama.
[Laughing]
I don't appreciate you yelling like that.
I- That's not what I said, Melinda.
I just said I don't want to hear that from you again
because you are better than that. Okay?
I just feel like a person should also like
want to be here though, like, personally.
For you to say that I didn't, I'm not wanting to be here-
You said it!
You said you didn't want to be here!
In that moment-
Okay, I don't want to fight with you anymore.
Yes, same here.
So, I have a question.
What do you guys think about your outfits, the safe ones?
I mean, I was obviously shocked.
Yeah, you should be. Honestly.
I'm not shocked that I'm safe.
I mean, you have a pin where you open on the sides,
and that's couture?
We're not gonna come for my look right now, thank you.
I'm coming for your look right now.
Okay, well you can stay coming.
I don't have towels wrapped around my body
with sequins around my sleeves.
No, we're not doing that.
My question was like, for example, Aurora-
[Speaking over each other]
We're going in circles again.
It has been a lot today, okay?
The most.
And, I think what we should do...
is get the fuck out of drag.
-Yeah... -Yeah, let's do it.
-Let's go. -Come on.
Try it on? I could put it on you.
Ah!
You feeling okay?
Next week, I'm hoping that Melinda is
in a better headspace because,
after seeing that side of her, I feel like...
maybe I made a wrong decision.
We are in the thick of this competition.
We are all feeling the pressure.
Now our true colours are really starting to show.
We all know what's at stake.
So, if you get called out on something,
don't be surprised...
because the proof is in the pudding,
and the pudding tastes like shit.
-Oh! -[Laughing]

[Screeching tires]
[Roaring engine]
It's a new day! Yay!
-We're still here! -We're all still here.
It's a new day in the werkroom, and I feel....
renewed.
I have had a chance to just really think about
the things that I have said.
I want to please, please, please...
extend my humblest apologies to all of you.
If any of you felt disrespected, you know,
by my actions, by my words...
I think I over extended myself the past couple weeks.
I want to say there was just like a lot of energy,
I think we were all feeling a lot of things last week.
-I love Melinda. -Same, girl, same.
-I love me too. -[Laughing]
She's back, she's back.
SFX: [Siren]
[Queens] Ooh! [Indistinct chatter]
O Canada!
She done already done had herses.
Queens, to make it in Hollywood North,
you've got to put the loon in lunar,
and eclipse the competition.
So, shoot for the moon because
even if you're a falling star,
you'll make a bang, a big bang.
[Roaring engine]
[Indistinct chatter] Come on, Big Bang.
-Hi, babes! -Hi!
-Hello! -Fresh!
Now, us queens, we all need the drag essentials-
wigs, lashes, heels. -Yes.
But a queen's most important accessory is...
her reading glasses.
-Ooh! -Oh!
[Laughing & chatter]
So, for this week's mini challenge,
the library is open...
because reading is, what?
Fundamental!
Now, who's ready to scorch their sisters?
Kitten Kaboodle!
Now, you know I love you all like my little kittens,
but some cats eat their kittens.
-Oh! -Ooh!
Melinda Verga, you are such a homebody.
With a body like that, I'd stay home too.
[Laughing]
Venus, you are so tall and lean.
The curviest thing about you is your penis!
[Laughing]
Kitten Kaboodle, the queen of the hour,
and that would be the 6 pm bingo show down the street.
[Laughing]
No wonder I never saw you around in Toronto.
I've never done a bingo show.
-Dammit. -[Laughing]
[Mimicking voice] Denim...
Nothing is drier than Denim's vocal fry.
Oh wait, I forgot about Melinda's dry ass wigs.
-[Laughing] -Girl, they are thirsty.
For the record, I want everyone
to leave Melinda's wigs alone.
They may be flat, they may be dry,
but she's from the Prairies and she's trying to represent.
[Laughing]
Denim, 10% cotton,
5% spandex, 85% polyester.
-[Snickering] -Ooh...
Aurora Matrix, you know,
you do remind me of the aurora borealis.
Beautiful to look at but easy to miss.
[Gasping]
Aimee Yonce Shennel.
Aimee is like a sexy, gorgeous,
beautiful, shady cloud.
When she fucks off, it's a beautiful day.
[Snickers]
Miss Venus, you are beautiful, talented.
Can you go side for me, please?
Now she's gone.
[Laughing]
Kitten Kaboodle is what you call a triple threat.
At any time, she can have a heart attack,
stroke, or shit her pants.
-[Laughing] -Yeah, that's fair.
Aurora Matrix, I want to introduce you to
a friend of mine. Her name is Steamer.
Maybe you can use it for your runways next time.
[Laughing]
Aimee, you didn't deserve to be in the bottom last week.
Actually, you don't deserve to be here at all.
-Oh! -[Screaming]
-Oh my God. -Shade!
Luna, you're from Toronto,
which is also known as the 6ix,
which is funny because that's the highest placement
you're gonna get this season.
-Ooh! -[Laughing]
And I will prove you wrong.
-[Laughing] -Shit!
Kiki, we have a couple things in common.
We both have a resting bitch face.
We're clearly not comedy queens.
But I'm autistic. What's your excuse?
-Oh! -[Laughing]
[Applauding]
Well, what a way to end things off.
-The library is closed. -Thank, God!
Queens, y'all are some witty kitties.
The winner of today's mini challenge is...
Denim!
[Cheering & applauding]
Oh my God, I did not think I was the shadiest bitch
in the room, but... if the shoe fits.
You have won $2500 cash, courtesy of the Men's Room.
Thank you.
Now that you've proven you can read,
it's time to be funny...
girl...
Because we're playing the Snatch Game!
[Cheering]
Snatch Game!
Now you know how this works.
Serve us up your most "hersterical" celebrity
impressions, and make us laugh our snatches off.
-Ah... -Okay.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win!
-Ya! -Go!
[Squealing] Ah!
Baby, get your snatches ready because
this is a beast of a maxi challenge.
Who is doing what character this week?
I have two options. I have the Tiger King.
But, who I really want to do is my icon, Fran Drescher.
[Mimicking Fran's nasal-tone laugh]
[Laughing]
-Um, so I feel good. -Who are y'all playing?
I'm doing Jennifer Coolidge.
I've got a good voice when it comes to impersonating her.
[Husky voice] I'm so excited.
I think it'd be really funny.
Aurora and Denim are living for it.
And then, out of the corner of my eye,
I see that little Miss Kitten Kaboodle has got her
cheetah print and her blond, dusty, grey ass wig.
I'm doing the Coolidge, dumb ass.
-Ah! -Jennifer Coolidge.
I saw you had a red wig, what was that option?
That's Ethel Merman.
I think you would do a great Ethel Merman.
Do you guys have backups for your Snatch Games?
I'm doing Jennifer Coolidge, and it's not changing.
-[Screaming] -Oh shit!
Girl, I sound more like Jennifer.
[Mimicking voice] Oh my God.
Oh, girl.
Nearah's like, "You can just do your second choice."
No way, I'm not going to give away my power.
No.
My heart is telling me Jennifer Coolidge.
Jennifer Coolidge is an inspiration.
She has been battling against younger actresses
taking all the roles and being aged out.
She actually inspired me.
When I heard voices coming at me, saying,
"You're 57 years old, you're too old to be on Drag Race,"
and now she's fucking winning awards, no matter what.
That inspired me to keep going and get on Drag Race.
-Eat it. -Kitten has the passion!
[Mimicking] I guess there'll be two Coolidges.
It's the Coolidge-off.
One's young, and one's old.
One's good, one's bad.
One is what you order online versus what you get.
-Bonjour, blankers. -Hello!
-How's your snatch? -Gamey.
[Laughing]
Hello, Luna. So, who do we have here?
I've got Mary M. Cosby.
-From The Cosby Show? -No, she's a Real Housewife.
-Oh, Real Housewife. -Salt Lake City.
Oh, okay, great, great.
She's a lady of the church, but also very like,
not the most Christian in how she is.
She's very rude, condescending.
Use that, use the Bible thumping.
The Bible thumping.
I don't want to keep having to tell you,
"More, more." I want to tell you, "Too much."
Yeah.
I'm praying to the drag gods that I bring out something
out of me and, you know, get those funny bones going.
[Accent] Hello, Miss Brooke Lynn.
Hello, Melinda.
-This is my first choice. -Uh-huh?
♪
Hello, Philippines. Hello, Miss Brooke Lynn.
My name is PacMan Manny Pacquaio.
-Oh, the boxer. -Yes! You got it!
Oh my God, okay! Is he funny?
He can be, actually.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's also
a little bit homophobic.
-Yes. -Or a lot bit homophobic.
-Yes. -Okay.
So, that will also come out in my shtick.
I can't wait to banter with Manny Pacquiao.
Me too, Miss Brooke Lynn.
[Laughing]
I'm feeling extremely grateful that Kiki
gave me a second chance...
with that save.
-Thank you so much. -See you, bye.
There is a little bit of pressure to deliver.
-Hello, Kitten. -Hi, Brooke.
Okay, so this character she's in my age group.
-Okay. -Ah, her initials are JC.
So are mine, as a boy, and...
Is she having a bit of a moment right now?
She's having a big moment right now.
Oh, Jennifer Coolidge.
It might be interesting because there's
another Jennifer Coolidge.
-Ooh! -That's never been done.
Yeah, yeah, you can use that to your advantage.
Remember, it's is important to play off of me,
but also to your sisters, to all the other contestants.
Yeah.
Reveal yourself.
-Ta-dah. -Jesus!
It's a Black, gay Jesus.
Obviously, I'm Black. Who said Jesus was white?
I love the idea of a second coming of Jesus
at Snatch Game.
I don't want you to be afraid to like really
have a good time, but it's important to remember
you don't want to be big all the time, you know.
Like, you've seen queens on the show,
and they are just like, "Rah-ah-ah,"
the whole time, and there's no levels,
like we love a level.
Okay, Jesus, let's go to pray.
Yes. [Laughing]
I'm very excited for this one.
Yeah, you're coming off a win.
So, I'm doing Elizabeth Taylor.
Ooh, okay.
I kind of relate to her.
We love diamonds and we love men.
Now tell me, how are you going to make her funny?
Um, I'm just gonna...
I can't really imitate her voice,
but she's a heavy smoker.
So, I'm going to have a little bit of raspy voice.
And like, you know, like big diamonds and all that.
Okay... alright.
I feel confident of
my character, Elizabeth Taylor.
I'm just going to have fun.
-I want this to be your choice. -Exactly.
I just want you to, like, look at all of your options
carefully here, okay? -Yeah.
Do what you want to do, and commit to it 100%.
-Yeah, that will do. -Alrighty.
So, my first option is Julia Fox.
Okay, talk to me about Julia.
-Yeah. -She has the voice.
-Yeah. -[Indistinct speaking]
-Which is kind of your voice. -It's already my voice.
And that's great. The important thing is you have to...
really think about your character,
think how they would respond to anything,
and think about how that can be funny, you know.
Now, I know you're on the spectrum.
Mm-hm.
How has that been so far in this competition?
Um, surprisingly like...
I've been dealing with it a lot better than
I thought I would.
I had a lot of, like, fear coming into this, like,
not being able to connect with people.
I have struggled with a learning disability
my entire life, but I was officially
diagnosed with autism last year.
And, coming into this competition,
it was really scary.
Allowing myself to be myself for the first time
in my life, like, in front of the world,
on such a big platform it's like, I don't know,
it's scary, but it's also like very liberating.
-And it's also paying off. -Yeah.
You always surprise us every week.
I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Thank you.
I'm really excited for this.
Well, let's talk about who- What's your first choice?
Ooh, my first choice, and the one I really want to go for,
is... Emperor Zhao Bing, of ancient China.
He was six years old when he got on the throne.
He ruled for 313 days, and then died.
Werk. Can I hear some?
Absolutely.
Hi, it's me, Emperor Zhao Bing of ancient China.
[Laughing] Alright.
That's a very funny- I always think
it's really smart when people use their culture,
because it's a weapon only you can use.
I'm really excited to really bring this character to life
and have fun with it.
See you soon.
-Hello, Nearah. -Hi, Brooke Lynn.
So we only- I only see one wig.
Does that mean we only have one character?
It's... [Mimicking] Jennifer Coolidge.
So, how are you going to make it different than
the other Jennifer Coolidge?
Well, first of all, I'm younger.
And Jennifer Coolidge is older.
Yeah... I don't know.
I think if you use it properly,
you guys can have so much fun together,
and play off each other.
It's like a generational Jennifer.
Yeah, completely generational Jennifer.
[Husky voiced] Bye.
[Laughing]
I have no idea who you're doing,
but I'm already laughing. [Laughing]
What do we have here?
We have this moustache falling off.
We've got Joe Exotic, the Tiger King.
-Oh my God, I love it. -Right?
Is that like kind of your first choice,
who you're thinking?
No.
And we have our comedy queen from the 90s,
Fran Drescher.
[Nasal-tone laugh]
Like the voice is funny, but also like,
once we get past the voice, like,
where's the meat, literally, you know?
-Joe's got the meat. -Joe's got the meat.
My mind has been set on Fran...
and, I literally don't have anything, anything for Joe.
I'm not going to tell you what to do 'cause
I want you to be comfortable with this.
I don't- If you're bad at Joe Exotic,
I don't want it to be my fault.
But, I want you to just think about it,
and go with what your heart's telling you.
Okay.
I can take a fucking hint, and now I've got to
go to Oklahoma and pick up Joe.
See you on the farm, Brooke Lynn.
[Laughing]
Queens, the key to any successful Snatch Game
is making us laugh...
so keep that funny train going full speed
down the tracks.
Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Hi!
It's so nice of you to join us.
Now, just out of curiosity, how long have you been dead?
I died when I was 6 years old.
Really?
Yeah, somebody threw me off a cliff, like what the heck?
-But yeah, I'm here now. -Oh, that's nice.

It is Hollywood funny woman, Jennifer Coolidge!

It makes me want a veggie dog real bad.
-Mm, oh my God. -[Laughing]
Do you want, do you want one, Brooke?
I'm a 4th level vegan.
Jennifer, can I have some of that?
-Mm! -Can I have some of that?
Get that in your snatch.
Now, I think I'm seeing double here,
because it's the original MILF, also Jennifer Coolidge.
Oh my God, that's me!
Now are you also a 4th level vegan?
I dabble in meat sometimes.
I didn't know Peppa Pig could talk.

Moving on. Diamonds are her best friend.
It is old Hollywood royalty, Elizabeth Taylor.
Hi, Brooke Lynn.
Do you know any good divorce lawyers?
Yes, I've been divorced 8 times.
-8 times? -8 times.
And twice with the same man.
-[Gasping] -Cheers to that.
And it's our favourite gem, Julia Fox.
[Sullen] Hi.
[Laughing]
Now, do you have any makeup tips for us?
I don't know, I just kind of did it myself.
Amazing.
Okay, here is our first question.
Design challenges are really getting out of hand.
I heard next week the queens will be making outfits
using nothing but blank. Traci, what do you think?
-Tuck tape. -[Gasping] Tuck tape!
Let's check in with Joe Exotic.
You know, Brooke Lynn, I come from America.
Uh-huh.
And every king- and every queen-
needs two things.
What?
A rifle and the 2nd amendment.
Wow, what is the 2nd amendment?
You know, I'm not sure but it's protecting me so far.
Except for the time that I killed Carol-
I mean, I didn't do none of that.
-I'm an innocent man. -You almost slipped there.
-What? -Ah!
What'd I say?
I heard something about a Carol.
Somebody pass me my rifle and my 2nd amendment.
Well, unfortunately, not a match, Joe.
Let's check in with Mary Cosby.
You know, I said the Holy Bible.
Can you quote me a Bible verse?
"Love thy neighbour as you love yourself."
And where is that from?
John 3:16, if I'm correct.
-Lies! -Jesus, that wasn't right?
-It's Matthew 69. -[Laughing]
Okay, let's check in with Manny Pacquiao.
Okay, okay, okay.
Because I grew up in the
islands of the Philippines, I wrote...
-Sea shells. -Okay, sea shells.
[Thick accent] She sells sea shells on the seashore.
[Laughing]
Sea shells.
Miss Brooke Lynn, if your English is so good,
you should be English teacher in the Philippines.
-Should I? -Yes.
Maybe I'll cover you in sea shells.
Okay, let's check in with Julia Fox.
You know I love a DIY fashion moment.
I brought my purse.
I actually made it out of my pubes this morning.
It's very coarse!
-So you said pubes? -I wrote pubes, yeah.
Amazing, not a match.
[Laughing] But a very good try.
Alright, we're gonna move on to the next question.
I just joined the gayest new gym.
When you sign up, you get a towel,
a hand fan, and a blank.
What do you think, Brad?
-I put an enema. -[Gasping]
You can't go to the gym without an enema.
Let's check in with Emperor Zhao Bing.
I just like, I didn't learn how to use my hands
before I died, so I'm just trying to figure it-
-Okay, I said a nap time. -A nap time?
I only ruled for two hours a day,
and it's already past my nap time so,
I think I need to take a nap.
Okay.
Well, Jennifer Coolidge #2, what did you write?
So, first of all, I just got to say, I love the gays.
I know you do, and we love you.
So, I want to give them something to cool down.
So, I wrote The Jenny Cool Workout Video.
Basically, it's just walking really slow on a treadmill
in front of a fan for you to cool down.
-Oh, that's nice. -Yeah.
Unfortunately, not a match, but very informative.
-Dammit. -I know.
Elizabeth Taylor, now you know a thing or two
about the gays, don't you?
Oh yeah, I love my gay people.
-I wrote condom. -Condom!
Yeah, there's nothing like, you know,
after a sweaty workout, there's nothing like
hot, sweaty sex,
and you've got to keep it safe.
A condom, a practical answer.
Not a match, but a practical answer.
Manny Pacquiao.
It's a free trial membership on Christian Mingle.
And why is that, Manny?
Mr. Brad, okay, I'm looking at you, you're very handsome.
-Thank you. -Look at your eyes.
Oh! Wow!
-We're getting specific. -Your lips.
Do like that for me.
Oh, okay, that's very nice. You should have a girlfriend.
Very nice Christian lady, you're very handsome,
-I like your lips. -[Laughing]
I think he likes your lips. [Laughing]
Let's move on to our next question.
Brooke Lynn Hytes is such a trailblazer.
In fact, she just announced that she'll be the
first ever drag queen to blank.
Ah?
I just want to drink some of...
Was that the Holy Water you were drinking?
Oh, I thought it was wine already
because she touched it.
-Did it taste like wine? -Finger wine.
-What's finger wine? -It tastes like-
[Lip smacking] Dirt.
[Laughing]
-Okay. -Let's go.
Bradley, let's see your answer.
Launch her own brand of filler.
Oh my God, that does make sense.
Let's start with Emperor Zhao Bing.
So, I said you'd be the first to rule Ancient China.
Oh my God, it's been on my vision board for a while now.
Do you have any tips for me?
Yeah, don't get thrown off a cliff.
Oh, now, who threw you off a cliff?
-My best friend. -What?
Yeah, we were at the end of the war,
and because we lost,
my best friend grabbed me and we jumped off a cliff.
Well, you know, I understand why
the emperor got kicked off the cliff.
Wasn't really funny.
Some people think Joe Exotic was involved.
-[Gasping] -I'm just saying.
[Laughing]
Next up, it is Jennifer Coolidge #1.
Oh, my God!
You're the first queen to ever be launched into space.
[Gasping] Fabulous!
You've had so much work done,
you can withstand all the G forces with no prep.
[Laughing]
They nicknamed the project 'Pigs in Space'.
-[Laughing] -Wow.
Thank you? Not a match.
-Poop. -[Laughing]
Jennifer #1, so fun.
I was living for her jokes.
#2?
Oh, girl!
Okay, it is time for our next question.
Scientists have figured out the perfect way
to conquer stage fright.
Instead of picturing the audience naked, just blank.
Traci, what did you answer?
Think of them as cats.
-We love cats, don't we? -We love cats.
-We're cat moms. -Meow.
Meow.
Now let's check in with Mary Cosby.
-I said "Me". -Picture you?
Yes, my congregation,
they think of me as god-like.
So, when you think of God, me.
The stage fright, gone.
And why do they think of you as god-like?
Because I am the first lady of my church.
Wow, that's amazing.
What does one have to do to be first lady?
-Suck my dick. -[Laughing]
Don't listen to this Black Jesus over here.
You've just got to pray to God every morning.
Oh.
I am feeling for Luna.
She's being the proper church lady and...
oh, it's a little flat.
Let's check in with Elizabeth Taylor.
Stage fright is always there.
So, you know, I always think of an...
old, stiff...
whiskey on the rocks.
Stiff whiskey on the rocks.
-Okay. -Yeah.
Ooh, girl!
I'm cringing for myself.
Let's check in with Manny Pacquiao.
How do you feel about being surrounded by
so many homosexuals?
Uh, okay, so that was my question I wanted to ask.
-You said drag queen? -Yeah, drag queen.
Elizabeth Taylor over here, is she a homosexual too?
Uh, yes, these are all drag queens.
Now, I would love to see what you wrote down.
Of course. So, I pictured them praying to Jesus.
-[Gasping] -But not this Jesus.
This Jesus looks like Mike Tyson.
[Laughing]
This is not Jesus.
[Laughing]
Please save me from this Jesus.
-This is not my savior. -That's not the one?
This looks like Mike Tyson on drugs.
[Laughing]
Manny Pacquiao, I was trying not to laugh so hard.
-Okay. [Laughing] -Please.
You're going to hell.
And we are out of time!

yeah, they all should be on the bottom.
How are we all feeling after Snatch Game?
We made it through.
We did! [Laughing & chatter]
Barely, girl, barely.
I'm going to say, okay...
-Melinda! -Melinda!
I feel good, I feel great.
And I feel happy.
So, who do we think is in the bottom?
Um, I'll be honest.
I think I'm in danger this week.
I bombed and, you know.
I'm still here to fight.
I think I need to go to improv school after this.
[Laughing]
-Anyone else? -I'm a little worried.
It is so hard to really gauge how well you did.
So, I'm feeling a little uneasy.
I'm not gonna lie...
I'm a little bit worried.
I was like already scared going into Snatch Game
to begin with.
It was like definitely my biggest fear.
You looked like Julia Fox, yeah.
Okay.
I'm a bit worried that I might be in trouble,
but I'm trying to stay positive, and just like,
you know, hope for the best.
Let's just stay focused and happy, and,
and just be satisfied that the fact that
we got through this and we did pretty well.

Alright, girls, so now that we've played the Snatch Game,
impersonating celebrities,
we are all about to be public figures,
dealing with the fans, and all the attention,
and all the opinions.
Does anyone have issues with like
getting cancelled or anything of the sort?
I have to say I have this incredible fear
of social media.
I worry, am I gonna say the wrong thing?
The thing is with people online,
they will take any single little thing,
and they'll try and put you on blast.
I haven't really thought much about cancel culture
until I was filming this TV show called Drag Race,
and I had a very public meltdown.
[Laughing]
So, last week, after that moment we had,
these voices in my head were like,
"Yeah, that's it.
That's how you kill a career and that's how you-"
Oh, no!
"...get cancelled and you're never getting booked again."
I think it's a growing moment to like show the audience
that like we're multi-faceted.
It's not all like sunshine and rainbows.
-Yeah. -We are human.
-Show our humanity. -Exactly.
You know, yeah, we are on this platform.
We're in this pressure cooker,
and we're supposed to be like these amazing,
super talented, elite group of entertainers.
-Which we are. -Which we are.
[Laughing]
-Don't get it twisted. -Two things can be true!
I felt like there was a "but" coming.
-That's how you cancel. -But, but we're people first.
Nobody is perfect.
Why are we tearing each other down
when we're all part of the same community?
I got called out for- ah, what was it?
It was the thumbs-up emoji.
'Cause I just put the thumbs-up emoji.
And I was told, "No, that's considered sarcastic."
If we're fighting over emojis,
then we've got bigger issues.

I feel like I could be straight out of a video game.
[Brooke Lynn] Oxidize. You rust everything!
[Laughing]
Kitten Kaboodle. Oh wow!
[Kitten] I am stomping into the Industrial Revolution

a different fashion world.
I'm wearing pants, honey,

And that ponytail, honey,
she looks like a steampunk scientist.
So, let's get experimenting!
[Laughing]
[Jaida] I'd inspect her gadgets.

[Brooke Lynn] Next, Aimee Yonce Shennel.
Guys, my eyes are down here.

I'm living the fantasy.
This is a Latina steampunk.

Kitten Kaboodle...

-Thank you. -Thank you.
♪
Queens, it's time for the judges' critiques.
First up, Kitten Kaboodle.
As Jennifer Coolidge...
[Mimicking] ...you were really neat.
[Laughing]
I could tell that that was
such a labour of love for you.
You embodied her spirit so well,
and you just had fun.
You were being really silly.
When somebody else is playing the
exact same character as you,
that's a risk, and it paid off for you.
I want to say to everybody, first y'all can just breathe
'cause Snatch Game is over.
And I feel like people have no idea like the pressure of
what it's like to come into Drag Race.
Y'all are all professionals, y'all are all acing.
I'm so proud of all of you all, but...
Kitten, Miss Thing, girl, you served,
and also I'm just like the look on the runway today,
I'm like gagging because I love X Men and
I love steampunk.
It's giving me like steampunk gambit.
Wow, thank you so much.
-Up next, Kiki Coe. -Hi!
You look just absolutely stunning.
It's so different from what we've seen from you.
My breath is taken away.
Um, my breath was taken away in a different way yesterday.
You made it very hard for yourself.
I feel like all of us have a little bit of a
reference point when it comes to Elizabeth Taylor.
I didn't really get Elizabeth Taylor.
The voice wasn't the same as Elizabeth Taylor,
but that, it is what it is, girl.
Snatch Game, either you got it or you don't.
But today, you look great on the runway.
Pat yourself on the back.
We all make mistakes,
and we all have like little fumbles.
Don't forget, even when you make mistakes,
don't forget to give yourself grace.
-Thank you. -Up next, Melinda Verga.
Hello, Miss Brooke Lynn! Brooke Lynn,
you're showing me how plaid is done right here.
-[Laughing] -You know what?
I ran home after last week, and I called my designer.
I said, "I need one immediately."
-[Laughing] -And here we are.
As Manny Pacquiao, you delivered a
one, two knockout punch.
-Boom! -I did, I did sports!
-Sports, thank you. -Good job.
I sense that Manny might not be comfortable
around drag queens, and that could have
turned really easily into something
kind of hateful and mean, and it never was.
-Mhm. -It was always funny.
And this runway look is my favourite of yours so far.
Thank you so much.
You going for the Mike Tyson joke
knocked the wind out of my body,
left me completely breathless. It was so funny, loved it.
What you did is not an easy thing to do.
It's not something that everybody can do.
It was such a joy to watch, and you're such a star.
Up next, Aurora Matrix.
This look has my spidey senses tingling
in all the right places.
Oh, is that what that is?
I thought I wasn't tucked enough.
Mhm, a little flutter, a little flutter.
Let's talk Snatch Game.
Aurora Matrix as Emperor Zhao Bing.
So, I was hoping for a temperamental toddler...
And it, it was leaning more towards...
like a whining baby?
There was so much potential with the
character that you chose, and...
there were glimpses of that,
but then we kind of got on a hamster wheel
of the same thing over and over again.
The age, the jump and how you died,
but it didn't really breathe and become anything else.
I don't think you really made any mistakes.
I just think that the character could have just
been a little bit bigger, told a little bit bigger story,
and you probably wouldn't be standing here right now.
Yeah, it wasn't your best week, but as usual,
you give us an absolute show on the runway.
Thank you.
-Up next, Luna DuBois. -Hi.
This runway look is, yes, it's steampunk,
but it's also Mad Max, and Megan Thee Stallion.
Mm, I'm just eatin' it all up. And your skin,
you need to tell me what you use on that skin.
I'll give you a little secret. [Laughing]
Wait, let me see, do a turn around real fast for us?
-Yes, please. -Yes!
First of all, you looking like-
look at all that chocolate! Ah!
I don't believe that you are not funny.
I believe that you have a very particular
sense of humour.
I think it is very dry, I think it's very sarcastic.
I'm the same way, but you have to find characters that
really work with your sense of humour.
Your Mary M. Cosby was very reserved,
and you didn't give us as much as you could have.
I got more Luna than I did housewife.
Mary Cosby, she's very-
Where she normally, her thoughts are
always on her face like expressively here.
I think sometimes you could see your thoughts,
but like in a different way.
Being a woman of God, and being seated next to Jesus,
there were so many opportunities for play there.
I'd be leaned over on Jesus, like, "Jesus, save me, girl!"
You know what I mean? Like, and that would have
helped play into the Snatch Game.
For me, your Mary Cosby kind of-
it just missed the Meredith Marks.
-[Laughing] -Do you get it?
-[Laughing] -Oh, my God.
Last, but certainly not least, Venus.
-Hi, Judges. -Venus!
-Hi, Jaida! -Girl, you look sickening.
But I'm sure you already know that.
Thank you.
Like when you came out, I was like,
pass the gas masks.
Venus as Joe Exotic made me roar.
You came in with that mullet and the stache and
the jacket and the...
you know, Venus was nowhere to be found.
Your Joe Exotic really stroked my pussy.
-Oh! -Ow!
The second amendment joke was my favourite.
I also love that you didn't know what
the second amendment was,
which made it even funnier 'cause that's so American.
Does anyone?
You were a pleasure to watch, and I thought you did a
really good job of seeing where you could kind of like
jump in and where you could have fun,
but it wasn't obnoxious.
[Laughing] Thank you.
Now based on the judges' critiques,
we have made some decisions.
♪
Melinda Verga, your Manny Pacquiao
was an absolute TKO.
Kitten Kaboodle, in the Snatch Game,
you had us seeing double,

Well, I think we should celebrate Melinda!

You went from last week to now so,
that shows something.
What the fuck just happened?
What a 180 again.
I can top and bottom at any point.
Not only did I score a win,
I scored a pretty...
iconic win. I feel like...
I've just arrived.
I'm just super, super grateful for, you know,
everything that has happened-
the good, the bad, the ugly-
and I'm grateful for all y'all's energy that you
helped me just turn myself around, and I'm still here.
And we're glad that you're here.
Exactly, it's proof that you're meant to be here.
-Yeah, congratulations. -Thank you.
So here I am.
I have to choose between these 3 fierce bitches.
Oh, how the tables have turned.

[Sighing] Can I,
can I just hear from Luna, Kiki...
and Aurora,
why you should be the one to be saved?
I can go first. Since I was in the bottom
like the second week, I've been trying to improve,
and I feel myself improving.
I didn't get saved the first time I was in this position.
If I get saved today...
I will make it count.
Thank you.
Being in the bottom again, for the second time,
and the first time that I was in the bottom,
I got saved by Aurora,
and I thank you so much for that
because you gave me a chance.
I was in the top last week.
The only thing that I want to tell you, Melinda,
don't feel obligated to...
save me because I saved you.
I saved you because I want to give you a chance,
and I want to see more.
And you showed it.
-Congratulations. -[Inaudible]
I'm well aware that this is not
Canada's Best Friends Race.
In my heart, I don't feel the need to "repay" Kiki
for what she did.
Melinda, I feel like this week was just
a little stumble for me, but I have proved in
the past few weeks that I deserve to be here.
Your look is stunning.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
I truly think that my Snatch Game wasn't...
the worst, and I think if based on just critiques and
everything, I do think that I deserve to be saved.
It would be gaggy to be saved twice.
But, I think Aurora should be saved.
Ah, and that's just my two cents.
Thank you, Babes.
Remember to play the game smart, too.
Because if you've got a person who, obviously,
is a big threat in the competition, you can...
start cleaning the slate real quick.
-And... -[Laughing]
-What? -[Laughing]
