You seemed very in your head.
It just felt to me like Ocane hit an iceberg.
Con-drag-ulations, my dear.
You are the winner of this week's maxi-challenge.
Icesis Couture, shantay you stay.
Ocane, sashay away.
Ocane is sent home.
All of a sudden it just, like, hits me.
I'm gutted that Ocane won't be here.
Oh, my God.
Ocane, I love you so much, it's so sad.
But what is this novel?
A whole book.
This bitch wrote a whole book.
Trilogy.
"Thanks for this amazing time with you girls.
Love you, Icesis."
[cries] Okay.
Girl, you were one of my only friends
outside of this competition,
and I am going to miss you.
Ocane brought such a light,
but I needed to stay and she had to go,
so the show must go on.
I kicked her fucking ass, though.
[all laugh]
I'm really happy that the judges gave me a second chance.
I'm not gonna fuck up again,
because this just means too much to me.
It's fucking scary up there.
To go from, like, being the winner to the bottom
is such a far drop.
-But we love you. -And you put on a fucking show.
And you killed it.
Icesis went from top to bottom in one week.
She is versatile.
Apparently, no one is safe.
Congratulations to you, Miss Pythia. Uh-huh.
Yes. [applause]
How does it feel to win?
It feels amazing,
because after not winning the design challenge,
which is what I do, I was a little bitter.
I work in circus and film and theater
as a designer and a makeup artist,
and I was like, I need to excel in my element, and I did it.
Honestly, well deserved.
Yeah, well deserved.
This is, like, one of the most iconic looks.
-Thank you. -Seriously.
And you're gonna give people nightmares
with that performance.
One step closer to the crown.
[laughs]
So my Ontario sister Eve,
this is your second time in the bottom.
-Uh-huh. -How are you feeing?
With Ocane going home,
it makes me feel like I don't deserve to be here.
-Oh! -No, no, no.
I'm sorry.
I've always wanted to be positive,
but it's really hard,
because... [cries]
I'm so closed off with my emotions,
and I'm a lot more sensitive than I allow people to see.
I'm so sorry, Kendall, for...
No, you were in your feelings.
I don't take it personally.
We all say shit.
Let's just move on
and just, like, believe and trust in yourself.
Trust me, I ain't mad, girl.
She needs to realize that we all are here to support her.
No one is out to get her.
But there's an inner saboteur in there
that needs to be put to bed.
We're here, and bitches are being--
Pew, pew, pew.
Slicked off the island, girls.
Strap in, honey, because this is a wild roller coaster.
I went from the bottom to the top.
Icesis went from the top to the bottom.
Who knows what's gonna happen next?
Like, shit.

It's a new day in the werkroom, and I am feeling optimistic.
I am excited about a new challenge.
I'm hoping to finally turn this shit around.
Oh, my gosh, Pythia's head over there.
Oh, my God. [all laugh]
Oh, my God.
I'm so freaked out by that.
It's missing a head, though.
Yeah, we're all missing some head right now.
[all laugh]
[alarm]
RuPaul: O Canada!
She done already done had herses.
Hey, queens.
[cheering]
Do you consider yourselves an "it" girl?
Do you know what you did last summer?
Did you see Saw?
Well, if you wanna get out of this alive,
don't get cute, get drop dead gorgeous.
[laughs]
Greetings, my scary Marys.
[cheering]
Oh, my God!
Yes, mama!
So are you ready to get spooky-ooky-ooky?
-Ooh! -Yes!
Spooky-looky-dooky- booky-looky-mooky?
What are we doing?
As we all know, there's no better reason
to cuddle up close to a nice slab of man meat
than watching a good, old-fashioned horror flick.
Ooh!
For this week's maxi-challenge,
you will each unleash your inner scream queen,
as you overact in a slasher film
that we're calling Screech.
[screaming]
This is iconic.
Screech tells the story of a gaggle of drag sisters
competing for the title of drag superstar.
-Oh. -Sound familiar?
Yeah.
But the competition takes a killer turn
when the queens start death-dropping, or, rather...
dropping dead.
[all gasp] Not the Black one first!
[all laugh]
So let's hear your best scream, queens.
[all scream]
-Aah! -Aah!
[all scream]
Aah!
Pythia, as the winner of last week's maxi-challenge,
you will assign the roles.
Hi, bestie!
Learn your lines, and learn 'em good,
because this week you will be directed by me.
-Whoa! -Yes!
Come on.
And this week's extra-special guest judge
and triple threat...
Fefe Dobson.
[screaming and cheering]
Fefe Dobson has been a part of the soundtrack of my life.
The first Rihanna!
She was able to show us
that Black people don't just listen to rap and hip-hop.
We not only originated rock and roll,
but we're still here, baby.
We're still able to rock it out.
So are you ladies ready to kill it?
Yes!
-Literally? -Come on!
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen... [wind blows]
[gasps] win.
[cheering]
Okay, so what do we all think?
-It's so good. -It's so funny.
There's a lot of lines.
So the premise is there is a killer
killing drag queens. Child.
I'll begin by reading out all the character descriptions.
"Hooking Hytes:
"cold-hearted and bitchy version of Brooke Lynn Hytes.
"Blood and Goreski:
a creepy and devilish version of Brad Goreski. [laughs]
Speaks very ominously."
-What's "ominously?" -"A-Martha:
"A stern Martha
"who's determined to use her position as a judge
to guide the queens to safety."
Overacting in a drag horror movie is gonna be quite fun.
There's gonna be a lot of layers of stereotypes
that we're gonna play with.
I've already decided what role I want.
I think it's pretty obvious from the description
I'm gonna be Nara Hater.
The fun thing about Nara Hater
is that she's always turning to the camera.
If you wanna be a scene stealer,
there's no better way than to make everyone else freeze
as you turn to the camera
and tell everybody exactly what's happening.
I would really love the role of Nara Hater.
My first choice--
It's already highlighted.
Don't try it, little girl, because this is my role.
I think I really understand the humor,
and also, she says "body-ody-ody,"
and I think I'm the only one who really can do that.
Aah!
I would like to play Jocklyn Straps.
Yeah, I see it. I so see it.
She's this dumb, hetero, typical jock.
I thought about Jocklyn Straps
because it's such a contrast to my character.
I kind of thought I could, like, butch it up
because it would be so hilarious.
I'm sorry, Synthia,
but you're gonna have to fight me for this role.
So then we're gonna settle it
with some rock, paper, scissors, guys. I'm sorry.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Oh, bitch, okay!
Fuck! [laughs]
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
I have a question.
What does "cont'd," C-O-N-T-D--
"Continued."
Yeah, you don't read that part, it's just--
Don't be calling nobody no cont'd around here.
I really wanted Nara Hater,
but as I'm reading the script,
this bitch has, like, fucking 50 lines,
and they're long.
I love a long one, but not lines.
I'm gonna take a step back.
Okay.
Because I'm not really good at memorizing lines,
so I'm gonna take Clitney.
Eve, I think you should be Nara.
I agree.
I think you're very confident in that,
and I think it's gonna be really good for you.
Me having the role of the casting agent,
I want everyone to shine in their own way.
We have Suki as Emmy Dumpa,
sex-obsessed horndog drag queen.
I'm feeling so confident.
Sex? It's oozing from all the orifices over my body.
We have Kendall as Hooking Hytes,
Adriana as Blood and Goreski,
Synthia as A-Martha,
me as Fairuzah Cock,
drag queen who is a spooky, kooky witch.
No matter what, someone may be unhappy and someone may not,
but that's the name of the game.
Okay, girls, let's get to work.
[cheering]
We've got lines to memorize, we have itty-bitty time.
So I'm Blue Scarymore,
a stereotypical Valley Girl drag queen.
I'm Clitney Lescott,
drag queen who is anxious and suspicious of everything.
It's not far from who I am,
because I'm definitely so anxious
and very suspicious all the time,
because there's fucking ghosts everywhere around me.
I get sleep paralysis, and I see them.
I'm not crazy, I swear it.
I barely have any lines,
so I really have to sell my character.
So I've been thinking of, like, super overreacting it.
What Drag Race has taught me
is you don't have to be a professional actor
to win an acting challenge.
My plan of attack: go big or go home.
We're kind of doing impersonations to an extent, right?
Of our beloved judges.
It's like them turned into a cartoon.
I think with Brooke Lynn,
it's a lot about the, like,
sort of tiny nuances of her, like, face.
She does a lot of, like...
I have a little bit of a smaller, more nuanced role,
so I'm excited to kind of reel it in a little bit.
Now, in this week's act of resistance...
Through the fates of rock, paper, scissors,
I am blessed with the role of A-Martha.
It's a great part of the script, but it didn't resonate with me,
and that is always a flag,
because those lines aren't gonna come naturally.
I'm a little bit of a Stressica Simpson right now.
It says that I have to be kind of "om-i-ness."
-Ominous? -Ominous?
I thought that was an interesting prompt,
because Brad is quite, like, sprightly in his demeanor.
I am playing a creepy and devilish version
of our judge Brad.
Trying to do, like, both,
so go like this a little, and then go, ooh.
That makes--
Yeah, campy, campy, campy.
I did theater in school, and I loved it.
It's my passion.
I need to kill this role.
Brad is a real person, and he's gonna be judging me.
I'm gonna try and tone down the sass that I usually have.
So I am Frontelle Lobe, the nerd.
It's outta my wheelbarrow.
Normally I am Black and sassy.
One thing I do love is to have different characters,
especially when you're on stage.
In the pageant world,
when you have a talent, you have to become that talent.
So you have to emote.
So if it's one thing if I can do, it's emote.
Aah!
Oh, bro.
Oh, fuck, man. Oh, no!
Aah! Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!
Oh, shit! Oh, fuck! Oh!
-Aah! Aah! Aah! -Oh, I can do it, too.
Uh-uh! [laughs]
Shut up.
Girls, what did you dress up as for Halloween as children?
To school, I was too nervous, so I dressed up as a sailor.
And then to go trick or treating, bitch,
she had her trench coat on, and her black bob.
-Love! -And she was Victoria Beckham.
That was actually the first time I did drag, I think,
in grade two.
That is everything.
There's actually not Halloween in Greece,
so I never got to dress up as a child.
So now I'm, like, well.
She's doing it full time.
Let's make it a life choice.
For me, Halloween is always a little bit different,
because October 31st is actually my sobriety date.
So we're coming up onto six years.
-Aah! -Yeah!
Congrats, baby!
I bow out of Halloween
because I don't like being in the club if I can avoid it.
If you don't mind me asking,
what made you decide to go sober?
I was forced into the situation
because my life had sort of, like, fallen apart.
I was about to lose my job, I lost my apartment, my friends.
Six years ago, I was a, uh...
a drug addict.
Drag sort of allowed me to wear a mask in my bad behavior.
Kendall was doing the crazy shit.
Ken was not. Ken was chill.
I think sometimes that disconnect,
it's hard to disassociate.
It took my entire life sort of falling apart
for me to get out of that.
What you see today here is not who she was six years ago.
She was rough.
I was not a casual, like, drug user.
Drag in so many ways, like, saved me.
-Mm-hmm. -Amen.
It doesn't always happen for people like this.
The fact that I actually get to, like,
live my dreams and, like, do this,
and, like, literally look around
and, like, I'm on fucking Drag Race.
-We love you. -[laughs]
This smoky eye's gonna run, girl, so I'm not gonna cry.
[all laugh]
I love you so much.
Thank you, my love.
I wanna hug you, but I'm gonna start crying,
and I wanna have one episode where I don't cry.
Yeah, we'll give you one episode off.
[laughs]
[cheering]
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Now it's time to shoot the movie Screech.
Hello, ladies.
-Hi! -Yo, wassup, wassup?
Fefe, Amanda, they're directing us.
Woman power in the house. Ooh.
Are y'all ready for your closeups?
Yes. Okay.
We are going to kick off your big-screen debut
by shooting the first scene.
Are you ready?
-Yes! -Yes!
Lights, please.
-Ooh! -All right.
And action.
It's a new day in the werkroom, and I'm feeling horny.
Well, I'm feeling witchening.
You're looking at the next winner, baby.
Cut. Pythia, if you could enunciate.
I love the breathiness,
but I need to hear what you're saying as well.
The words? Yeah.
-Action. -Well, I'm--oh.
Well, I'm feeling witchening.
I just have this horrible feeling
like something bad is gonna happen today!
[wails]
Well, whatever it is,
I'm sure there's an ointment for it.
Stephanie, tone down a bit, honey.
I love the commitment.
I need you to dial it back a little bit.
-Oh, me? Okay. -Yes.
Sometimes it's so gregarious
that I'm not understanding everyone else in the scene.
I understand your note, but I want all eyes on me.
Action.
Something bad is gonna happen today.
I'm sure there's an ointment for it.
Suki, love the sexuality.
I say go hornier.
-Hornier? -Yeah.
Ooh! I've been horny.
Go horny or go home, baby.
I'm sure there's an ointment for it.
Oh!
[all laugh]
-Hornier works, always. -Hornier works.
-Action. -But there wasn't an ointment.
There is no ointment
for... murder.
Be super dramatic when you're looking into the camera,
'cause that's your moment.
Suck it up.
There is no ointment for murder.
I really felt you have fun with it,
which I don't think I've ever seen you do
in this competition yet is see you have fun.
[applause] Oh, my God, I'm gonna cry now.
I'm having so much fun with this challenge.
It is so fun to be so crazy and over the top.
What is it gonna do, kill me? [laughs]
Gia, when you say, "What's it gonna do, kill me?"
Like, that moment, since we're foreshadowing,
I think that could be a real cool moment
to, like, kind of be over the top with it.
May I ask a question about that?
-Yeah, of course. -I'm almost, like, traveling.
Should I plant and then say it?
Do I talk and have a conversation with them?
-The camera is your best friend. -Okay.
Fuck her. [all laugh]
Don't look back, man.
And the camera is what you wanna fuck, really, so--
Oh.
-Action. -It's just a phone.
What is it gonna do, kill me? [laughs]
[deep voice] Who's a pretty little girl?
[all scream] None of you!
-Aah! -Was that RuPaul?
Can you ask her how much she benches?
Oh!
Cut. [laughs] Icesis, bro,
you remind me of everyone I've ever dated.
Gimme some, gimme some.
Okay, so the cue will be for the judges' entrance.
Action.
Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bitches.
Here I come.
My daughters, I can get you out of here.
When I give a deep, knowing glance,
the time has come.
Cut. Synthia, do you know what you're saying
by saying, "I'll send out a deep, knowing glance?"
Like, do you know what that's based on?
-The Handmaid's Tale? -Yes.
They have so many tales, those handmaids.
I will be watching Handmaid's Tale
the minute I get home.
Character description is quite stern and quite rigid.
Just try to push that a little more.
Sternness.
And watch the show next time.
-Oh! -[laughs]
On it. On it like a bonnet.
They wear those, right?
So let's pick it up. Kendall, "Stop talking."
Stop talking.
My daughters, I can help you escape here.
When I give a deep, knowing glance,
the time has come.
Cut.
The line is "We leave tomorrow."
We leave tomorrow.
"I'll send out a deep, knowing glance when it's time."
-Okay. -Action.
I can get you out of here.
Oh, it's the cutoff. I'm so sorry.
This is why I didn't want A-Martha.
I wanted a role with less words.
That is really why Jocklyn Straps was the perfect part.
Fefe, just one more time, the line.
-We leave tomorrow. -We leave tomorrow.
I can see Synthia's in her head.
Lalalalala. Okay.
Get out of there, girl!
Each of you will have the chance to audition
for the lead role in the upcoming production of Screech.
Pause. Kendall, it was a bit of paraphrasing.
"In the new drag slasher film Screech."
Okay. I'm a very improv, kind of adlib person,
so sometimes I fill in the gaps
in the way that my brain thinks is good.
We wanna see you scream, queen.
"So let's hear you scream, queens."
So let's hear you scream, queens.
What am I saying?
We're gonna try this one more time.
We wanna hear you scream, queen.
Aah!
[laughs]
Oh, no, I think she sprained her glutes!
In fact, she's dead.
The body-ody-ody count has only just begun.
And cut.
Yeah!
We're here!
-Whoo! -It's elimination day,
and I think a lot of these other girls are really excited,
but they shouldn't be,
because I'm gonna win the fucking challenge.
[laughs]
Is anybody worried about their performance?
Why are you looking at me?
[all laugh]
I feel great.
Like, honestly, I feel like I slayed.
It was just, like, all net, you know what I mean?
Like, to be so good.
Were you guys okay? Like, were you intimidated?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Are you--I can't-- are you being sarcastic?
Girl, I am being deeply sarcastic.
I didn't pick that up.
I think us three, I would say the judges,
we were not as much of, like, a unit
as I think we were before we started to go on camera.
I'm panicking, bitch. Whew.
Let's get into drag.
What are you waiting for?
[all scream]
Our scene's so good, but I'm so worried.
It's just my mom
when she's gonna see me in underwears on TV.
She's gonna be like, "Whose child is this?"
What's your relationship with your parents?
Do they know you're here?
I asked my dad before I left,
I was, like, "Have you heard of RuPaul's Drag Race?
And he's, like, "No."
He doesn't actually know that I do drag.
Oh!
My relationship with my dad, I would say, is evolving.
When I was 16, he told me
that he can't handle my openly gay lifestyle.
I didn't talk to him for, like, five years.
But do you feel like
the fact that he doesn't know you're doing drag
stops you from going, like, full-on in your drag art?
-No, not at all. -No?
At this point, I'm almost 30 years old.
I can do what I fucking want with my life.
Over the last few years,
my dad has been really making an effort
to connect with me more
and, like, he checks in on me all the time.
I told him I was going away to do something.
And he's, like, asking me for more information,
but I'm, like, "Well, it's not gonna be your cup of tea."
And then he was, like, "You're an adult,
"and you have to do your own thing,
and don't worry about what I think about it."
I'm really hoping that this is an opportunity
for him to learn more about me, my art form,
and have an appreciation for it.
Actually, the first time my dad saw me in drag I was so scared,
and all I remember is being onstage
and he's at the back of the club,
and he's, like, "Go, buddy, go, buddy!
That's my kid!"
It was a very special moment.
I stopped the relationship
with all the side of my father's family.
Same here, yeah.
They treated me like if I was the son of the devil
because I was gay,
and that I was gonna burn in hell.
My father, he spied on me,
and he used different names on Internet
to talk to my boyfriend at the time,
and destroyed my first relationship.
My mom's side of the family, they were there for me.
They were there in the worst part of my life.
Adriana is actually the name of my mom.
-Oh! -Oh!
At the very beginning, I was kind of her a little bit.
And she didn't know for the first two years,
until I kind of won a competition almost.
Third place.
-Kind of won. -Kind of won.
You might kind of win this week, too.

and of course, Qubec, Canada.

Brooke Lynn: Synthia Kiss.
Synthia: Hey, bitch, it's your bad girl here.
I wanna show the judges that I can have a little edge.
She don't serve face. She serves mace.
So I'm wearing spikes, safety pins.
I'm punk, I'm powerful.
And her parents don't understand her!
Honey, there's nothing safe about this look.
Brooke Lynn: Gia Metric.
Gia: This good girl has gone bad literally.
She has been in your fridge for 2.965 days, honey.
She's been spoiled rotten.
I am giving you mold Hollywood glam.
I might be stale, but I've still got it.
Girl, you better step your pus-sy up.
[all laugh]
Pythia.
Pythia: Tonight on the runway,
I am just serving possessed, but well-dressed.
Brooke Lynn: Oh, look, it's the Exor-Pyth.
You see Hell reaching out for me,
tempting me through a life of sin and glitter and glamour,
and here is where I am.
She can drag me straight to Hell.
I really feel like I'm showing the judges something different,
but still with my own twist.
Brooke Lynn: Kimora Amour.

Out comes a beautiful succubus,

Accuse me of treason.

This is a perfect example of what Adriana does best.
It is gorgeous, but it is horrifying at the same time.

Icesis: My good girl gone bad

I mean, sickening.
Well, I'm feeling witchening.
You're looking at the next winner, baby.
[laughs]
It was indeed a brand-new day in the werkroom,
but something very foul was in the air,
and this time it wasn't just gas.
[fart]
[laughs] Nice.
So top seven, ladies!
Did you know statistically,
we each have 14.286% chance of winning the finale!
Top seven? I'm only counting six.
Girl, did you forget to count yourself?
Well if I were her, I would count myself out, too.
[all laugh]
What's wrong, girl?
You seem totally worried.
I just have this horrible feeling,
like something bad is gonna happen today.
Aah!
Well, whatever it is, I'm sure there's an ointment for it.
But there wasn't an ointment.
There is no ointment for... [gasps]
murder.
[thunder]
[all scream]
[telephone rings] Oh, what is that?
What is making that sound?
It's giving me goosebumps all over my body!
It appears to be coming from that object over there!
[ring]
Blue, be careful!
Chill, Clitney. It's just a phone.
What is it gonna do, kill me?
[ring]
Hello. Drag Race residence.
Blue Scarymore speaking. [laughs]
[heavy breathing]
Sorry, I can't even, like, hear you right now.
The service in here sucks.
I'm gonna have to put you on speaker, hon!
[deep voice] Who's a pretty little girl?
[all scream]
-None of you! -Was that RuPaul?
Can you ask her how much she benches?
But that wasn't RuPaul.
That was someone much, much younger.
Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bitches.
Blessed be the fruit, gender traitors.
Yes, queen, Versace boots the house down,
wig, period, tea, mama.
For this week's mini-challenge--
Hush! My daughters, I can get you out of here.
We leave tomorrow.
When I give you a deep, knowing glance, it's time.
I don't know what show she's on, but, girl, I'm living.
Each of you will have a chance to audition
for the lead role of the new drag slasher flick Screech.
And we wanna hear you scream, queen.
Blue, you're up first.
I am so excited to audition,
but I cannot audition without my lucky panties.
I'm just gonna go grab them real quick.
So sorry. BRB!
Well, fuck her, then.
Fairuzah, it's your time.
[clears throat]
[screams and cackles]
[coughs and hacks]
Sounds like she got a case of the hex.
Next!
[screams]
We said "scream," not "cream."
[scoffs]
Aah!
I, uh... Aah!
We have a winner, baby!
We were living for your dead.
Oh, no, I think she sprained her glutes!
Quite the opposite.
In fact, she's dead.
[all gasp]
[all scream]
It looks like it's a double penetration!
Lucky girl!
Shut up.
Blue, we love your dedication to the role.
Other queens, take notes.
Yes, we mustn't let them see us sweat.
Now, for this week's act of resistance--
Maxi-challenge.
Right. Maxi-challenge.
Each of you must tailor a child's Hallow's Eve costume
into a disguise.
Meet me on the runway. Tell no one.
#Boo.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[all laugh]
One broad was down,
but little do these filler queens know,
the body-ody-ody count has only just begun.
And that's how I became an empress of the dark arts.
Yeah, yeah, your story's gonna change lives.
When I was little, my mom left me at a ferry terminal.
I started screwing a bunch of seamen,
and that's how I ended up a teenage drag mother.
I had to give the baby up.
Oh!
You know what's even spookier?
What?
I've never met my drag mother.
No!
She put me up for adoption.
All she left me with
was this birthmark shaped like a potato.
Oh!
[both gasp]
Baby?
Mama?
-Baby! -Mama!
[both cry]
Let's have a toast.
[gags]
[coughs]
[retches]
Jocklyn, your outfit, it looks...
interesting.
Ugh.
Oh, it must be my inner saboteur again.
Jocklyn, I'm not certain
this is the work of your inner saboteur.
In fact, I'm hypothesizing
that there is a real saboteur among us.
You mean an outer saboteur?
[sewing machine runs] Uh-oh!
Oh! Oh!
Aah! Aah! Aah!
-Aah! -Aah!
[both scream]
Eh, well, I think she'd want me to have her fabric.
So how are you feeling about the competition?
Well, it's all so weird,
being here with all the queens disappearing from the werkroom.
But little did the judges know...
Nara, who are you talking to?
Woman: Ladies, please report to the main stage.
I guess I'll see you on the runway, girl.
Nara walks toward the mirror to touch up her makeup,
while narrating her every move.
She looks at her reflection,
smiles...
and laughs.
She has absolutely no idea
that the killer is standing right next to her.
Wait, what?
Aah!
Ladies, I see some of you made it out.
A-Martha, help! There's a killer!
Hush, child! Killers surround us.
You were formidable in this week's challenge.
I completely agree with A-Martha.
I love it!
The only thing you killed tonight
was the art form of drag.
I completely agree with Hooking. I hate it.
We've made our decision.
I'm sorry, my dears, but you're both up for elimination.
The time has come... [thunder]
for you to lip sync...
[echoing] for your life.
Literally!

No!
-Why? -Why?
[evil laugh]
[applause] Oh, so good!
Good job, queens.
Based on your performance in the film
and your runway presentations,
the judges have made some decisions.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Icesis Couture.
Kimora Amour.
Pythia.
Suki Doll.
You are all safe.
You may go untuck in the werkroom.
Hello, my scream queens.
You represent the tops and bottoms of the week.
First up, Eve 6000.
So you played Nara Hater.
Mm-hmm.
You made me laugh. You hit all your jokes.
I thought that it was spot-on.
Thank you.
You were fantastic.
You chose a role that you knew was going to push you,
and you rose to the occasion, and I was very proud of that.
You had a bit of a rocky start in this competition,
and I feel like you're finally starting to turn a corner,
which is really great to see.
You look beautiful.
-Thank you. -I love this color combination.
And your booty looks amazing.
[all laugh] But I wanna see the passion.
There's an awareness and a spark when you come out on the runway
that you sometimes miss.
Be confident in yourself when you come out,
and give us a fucking show.
Open up, crack it open, and see what happens.
Okay.
Next up, we have the artist
formerly known as Stephanie Prince.
Aow!
You were Clitney Lescott-- great name--
who is anxious and suspicious of everything.
I got the anxious.
I didn't get a whole lot of suspicious.
It was all up kind of on one level,
which was a good level, and you were good at it.
But I wanted to see more variety from you.
I really appreciated the fact
that you leaned into the character as much as you could.
However, I did ask you to tone it down.
I wanted you to have a little more nuance.
But tonight you look adorable and super sexy.
Thank you. Adorable is the word.
I think this is very playful,
fun, definitely a good girl gone bad.
Thank you.
Next up, Synthia Kiss.
Hi, guys.
Synthia Kiss, you played A-Martha.
I didn't get the essence of A-Martha.
Just because you haven't seen the show
doesn't mean that you don't know what stern is or serious is.
The moment you slipped up a couple lines,
I could see you unraveling.
And it doesn't matter if you are inside.
Right now, I could be having a panic attack,
but no one will ever know.
-Right. -Except my therapist.
The performance for me was okay.
It was more of sort of how you handled the pressure.
It just wasn't funny.
-Yeah. -You need to make us laugh.
That's what it's all about.
I'm absorbing all of this.
If I ever get a note again, I will capture it.
You look rock and roll as fuck.
Everything you're gonna see on this runway
is by me and my partner.
And I'm just so freaking proud to show you guys that.
-Gia Metric. -Hey, girl.
You were so eager and willing to hit your marks,
asked questions, were so thorough.
Thank you so much for saying that.
It was hard for me to ask questions on set,
because, you know,
sometimes when you're in the position of asking questions,
there's a lot of shame
that comes with, you know,
being brave enough to ask these questions...
So that I was doing the right thing, and I was doing...
Making it so comfortable on set...
Standing here on the stage, I am so proud to be here...
Re-watching it, I had some really funny moments.
Obviously, I'm critiquing myself.
Thanks, Gia.
I also had a fantastic time watching you on the runway.
So pretty and fun and gross to look at at the same time.
The earrings are just to die for.
Just head to toe, it makes my heart warm.
It definitely did take me until you got to the end of the runway
to figure out what it was.
I had to think about it that much.
Then I was like, oh, good girl gone bad.
-Did you just get it? -I just got that!
-Fefe literally just got it! -You just got it now?
Oh, I get it now! She went bad.
-Fefe, where have you been? -Stop it!
Girl, you should have just tapped on the glass.
I would have told you.
-I'm dead! -I get it now, I get it.
Hello, Kendall Gender.
Your role as Hooking Hytes,
cold-hearted, bitchy version of Brooke Lynn Hytes.
-What a stretch. -I know.
I feel like it was, like,
a little bit under where it should be.
It wasn't bad. It just could have been so much better.
You could have played me bigger.
You could have played me bitchier.
Yes.
-What do you mean, "Yes?" -Jeez!
I'll second that.
Guys!
I think going into it, I wanted to take a little bit of a chance
and do something a little bit smaller
than what I did last week.
I felt that smallness coming through.
But I didn't think it was the worst thing I'd ever seen.
You struggled with lines.
Yes, I think I was going on
a little bit of more adlibbing, for sure,
and that was a mistake that I made, I think.
I was just trying to get the, like, structure of it.
Going forward, if you're handed a script,
I do suggest you stick to it,
unless it is an improv challenge.
Totally.
Just because it can shake you and knock you off center.
Your look on the runway tonight is nice.
It's very well made.
It's just the obvious good girl gone bad,
the nun into the devil.
Pythia did the same look.
Hers was a little bit more interesting.
But I will say
you are always such a joy to see walk down the runway.
You have great presentation.
Thanks. [exhales]
It is time to clear something up once and for all.
Is it A-driana? Is it Ah-driana?
How do we say your name?
Ah-driana.
You were playing Blood and Goreski,
a creepy, devilish version of Brad Goreski?
-[gasps] -I was delighted.
I was a tiny bit confused,
but I was really entertained.
You looked like you were having a lot of fun.
I got the character description all the way through.
You really leaned into a character
that I wanna see again.
Like, I wanna see a show based on Blood and Goreski.
It was so much fun.
It was maniacal, it was crazy,
part Brad, part Count Chocula.
-[laughs] -Love this look.
It is one of my favorites
of any of the Drag Race franchises.
Oh, my God.
It's clever, it's fun, it's beautiful,
it's complex, it looks like it hurts.
All of the things that I love.
Thank you, queens.
While you go untuck in the werkroom,
the judges and I will make popcorn.
I think Eve is on top.
Eve is absolutely on top.
At least this time when she asked for a role, it worked.
[all laugh]
Hi, ladies!
-Oh, she's smiling! -Hello!
How much crying did you do?
No crying this week yet.
Okay, okay.
No howlin' for Eve.
Well, if Eve is not crying, I am.
-What happened? -I'm in the bottom.
-No! -No!
No, she's lying, she's lying.
-No, I am in the bottom. -No, she's in the bottom.
-Are you serious? -No, I'm not lying, you guys.
I wish I'm lying.
What they said about Steph
was that she was, like, up here, and--
And it didn't change.
They loved my energy, but it was monotone.
Yeah, you got the anxious part, but not the suspicious.
Which I don't know what that word means, so...
I'm really hoping the bottom two
will be between Synthia and Kendall.
I am also in the bottom for sure.
They said that it was too understated, which was sad,
because that was definitely, like, a choice that I made.
I'm not feeling too great.
I feel like I've let, like, myself down.
I'm also bummed out because there's a chance
that I could be lip syncing against Synthia,
and that just adds
a whole 'nother layer of emotions for me.
I really don't wanna lip sync against Kendall.
That is just salt to a wound.
Like, we've got history, man.
It was a really shitty crumbling of a cookie,
the way the parts had to get given out.
You know why I was worried.
It was a tricky role to make funny.
Miss Eve, what did the judges say about you, mama?
I don't know, it wasn't like Gia's.
Gia's, they were, like, you're a genius,
and, like, I want you to do my accounting
and, like, please, can I suck your toes?
They were, like, all over Gia.
So for mine, it was, like, a little more tempered.
I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit, girl.
Why are you complaining? You're not in the bottom.
Oh, my God, they're so thirsty for camera time, these girls.
[laughs]
What's the comment for Adriana?
My look was one of the best of all Drag Race.
This is the work of my partner and I.
Come on, come on, love.
Everyone right now is celebrating
and talking about how good they are.
I'm just here in a corner,
thinking that I might be going home.
I just feel fucking stupid.
If I get in the bottom, I will give it my all.
I will lip sync for my life, bitch.
Just between us virgins...
[laughs]
What do we think?
Let's start with Eve 6000.
During Screech,
I really think she was the glue in a lot of ways.
Her timing was bang on,
that it just kind of made things flow.
Yeah, she played the Nara Hater, and the Nara Loved Her.
And then tonight on the runway,
the hair, the makeup,
all the way down to that little pin-up pump,
she just looked so beautiful tonight.
Beautiful runway, really, really great in the challenge,
but there's just that extra oomph that's missing,
you know what I mean?
Stephanie Prince.
Stephanie has great energy, like a fiery personality.
Unfortunately, it was a bit too fiery during the performance.
She was a little frantic when she was delivering her lines.
A very one-note performance,
and also kind of a one-note runway for me.
This is actually the first time in my life
that I don't think I'm a friend of Dorothy.
[gasps]
Synthia Kiss.
She came in wrong,
and it went downhill from there.
She had Amanda Brugel, the character she's playing,
in front of her, to ask her questions, you know?
She was Amanda Brutal in that challenge.
Also, the runway look, the dress was beautifully made,
but it was just very frumpy and dumpy,
and it did not give me a sense of who Synthia Kiss is.
Mm.
Gia Metric was perfection tonight.
The garment was beautifully made,
the concept was incredible
And the process to get to--
I mean, it took you a little longer, Fefe, but--
The process to get to what the whole concept was,
like, that revelation, was part of the exciting part.
And in the challenge also, she was so entertaining.
But I feel like after every single time we critique her,
we get an Oscar speech.
I would like to thank the Academy.
It seems a little put-on sometimes.
The person that we met in the werkroom
and the person that we meet on the runway
are two different people.
One is very performative, and one is very sincere.
I would like to see more of that sincerity on the runway
when receiving critiques.
Mm-hmm.
What do we think about Kendall Gender?
Tonight she told us
that she thought that it would be good for her
to get an idea of the script.
She purposefully didn't memorize the lines.
If I did that, I would be fired.
I thought it was very interesting
that she made a choice to play it smaller than last week.
Girl, you're playing Brooke Lynn Hytes.
Like, you're a big personality.
She wasn't very memorable.
I feel like she can be.
I just wanted more, more, more.
And on the runway, it was fine.
When you have Pythia come out
doing kind of a better version of what you're doing,
it just felt a little meh and meh together
for both things for me.
Adriana stole the show.
The runway was smart and well-tailored and crafted
and intricate and pretty.
Every single element--
the little tiny tassels hanging off of the trays,
the cake, the knife in the hair,
every detail was splendid.
It's why I love drag.
And the maxi-challenge was about coming up with a character,
being funny, and also being in command
of the material that you were given,
and she did all of those things.
I thought she did such a good job.
I really enjoyed her.
I thought she was so funny.
She just has a beautiful personality,
and she made it her own.
We have a very big decision to make.
Bring back our Bloody Marys.
Welcome back, queens.
We've made some decisions.
Gia Metric, in the challenge, you always stole the scene,
and on the runway, my dear, you were our gangrene queen.
You are safe.
Thank you.
-Safe? -Safe.
Oh.
Adriana, in the challenge, you were Brad to the bone,
and your runway look was the icing on the cake.
Con-drag-ulations.
Oh!
You are the winner of this week's maxi-challenge.
Oh, my God, thank you so much!
Oh, my God, I'm the winner this week,
and for an acting challenge!
I'm an actress, baby!
You have won a $5.000 gift certificate
from our friends at Fabricland.
Yes! Come on, Fabric.
You may join the other girls.
Eve 6000, you are safe.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Kendall Gender. On the runway, your look was very Halloween,
but your performance in the challenge
was very hollow queen.
You are safe.
Oh, my God.
Please join your sisters at the back of the stage.
Good job, babe.
Thank you guys a lot.
Unfortunately, that means
Synthia Kiss and Stephanie Prince,
you are both up for elimination.
Two queens stand before us.
Prior to tonight,
you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance
of Fefe Dobson's Ghost.
This is your last chance to impress us
and save yourself from elimination.
The time has come... [thunder]
for you to lip sync...
for your life.
I don't wanna go home.
I have to kill this.
I have danced since I was in grade one.
Fefe Dobson, I will be your ghost.
Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Great job!
Wow, I got emotional.
It takes a lot of courage to go onstage
and to show yourself and to be vulnerable.
And whoever goes or stays, it doesn't matter,
because what you're doing is amazing.
I'm proud of all of you.
Thank you.
We've made our decision.
Synthia Kiss.
Shantay you stay.
Thank you so much.
You may join the other girls.
I was so scared.
Stephanie Prince, my Calgary queen,
you came into this competition like a stampede.
Now the world better buckle up,
because your rise to the top has only just begun.
Unfortunately, this is not your time.
Now sashay away.
Thank you.
Whoo!
-Yes, Steph! -We love you so much!
And remember, ladies...
I actually forgot my line.
I love you guys.
[all laugh] We love you!
-We love you! -We love you!
I'm very proud of what I brought to this competition.
I hope that people heard my story,
and I hope Canada and the world would love me.
For those kids who is growing up still,
Filipino, gay kids, queer kids,
kids who doesn't realize who they are yet,
you have something special in your heart,
and you can grow up and be bitches like me.
Uh!
Ooh, that's cute. Mwah.

You live to slay another day.

RuPaul: Next time on Canada's Drag Race....
We'll be playing...
the Snatch Game. [cheering]
Give me a little bit of your character.
I'm gonna try to guess.
Bitch, I love glitter and cocaine.
I am your host tonight.
I'm back, back, back again, because they won't let me leave.
It's nice to see you again, Rachel. It's been a while.
It was a little one-note.
You picked a tough character, and it didn't work.
Send her flowers after this.
[all laugh] What?
