# RuPaul's Drag Race
- # May the best drag queen win - Best drag queen win. #
Oh, stop it, boys, you're doing my head in!
LAUGHS
Pardon me.
I'm Catrin Feelings,
I'm 26 years of age, and I'm the blonde bilingual bombshell
from the Rhondda Valley.
Oosh!
I'm one of Cardiff's cabaret queens.
I'm a camp cow who loves a bit of comedy.
Oh, my days.
I am, if anything, like a caricature of what a Welsh person is.
I'm the first one in. Can I just fart for a sec? Hold on.
Hiya, Ru.
I do lean into like the Welsh side when it comes to my gigs.
Lush. Lovely stuff.
Oh, my days.
There'll be a few jokes about sheep
and doing certain things to those sheep.
Which I don't want to confess on camera,
which I've never done.
Here we are. Wa-hey-hey-hey!
See, that's why I couldn't be a farmer.
CACKLES
Season seven. Bring it on.
Oh!
Wait. How do you, um...
Balehgdeh!
CATRIN LAUGHS
Hello, my honeys.
My name is Tayris Mongardi, I'm 27 and I am the Titan of Brighton.
I'm glad I didn't wear that now.
Go on.
In the world of drag, I'm honestly just known for being
the absolute powerhouse of colour.
- Do the splits. Go on, go on. - Not yet. Not yet.
At the risk of not sounding very humble,
there's just not really a lot that I can't do in drag.
I'm a classically trained singer. I'm a lip sync assassin.
I act, I do comedy. I just think I'm a bit of everything, girl.
- Delicious diva! - Hello. Welcome to the meet and greet.
- You look cool. - So do you. - How are you?
- I'm good. What's your name? - Tayris. - Catrin.
Honestly, even though I take drag really seriously...
- This is stunning. - Don't flirt with me!
..I'm a little bit goofy.
- I'm originally from Brighton. - Oh, no way.
Yeah, yeah. Brighton. Bam bam bam.
Come on, you girls. What about you, diva?
Cardiff. Bam bam bam, come on, the boys.
That sounds terrible.
LAUGHS
What about Brighton? I don't know much about Brighton.
I mean, honestly, according to Drag Race, it's shit.
I mean, like, Joe was first out.
Anubis was first out. Pixie was...not likeable.
So Brighton has not had a fab track record.
But I'm here to show you that you can break the Brighton curse
with a bit of black magic.
- Girl, we're on Drag Race! That's so fab! - Yes!
Oh!
OK.
I'm not like most girls.
I haven't had sex.
Wish I could say the same, girl, innit.
Hi, my name is Sally TM. I'm 27 years old
and I'm from South Shields by way of Newcastle.
Oh, meow!
Ra.
THEY LAUGH
I think others would describe me as quite alternative.
Quite strange. Ew!
- Hello. - Hi. Oh, my God. - How are you, my honey?
Nice to meet you. Oh, my God. You come to a Sally TM show,
I am going to show you intrinsically how art shapes our world,
to the sound of Toad from Mario singing Chandelier by Sia.
- You look fab. - Thank you. I was just going to Tesco.
Me too. Me too.
Sally TM was actually a Sims character
and I thought, "Ooh, that's me."
- Whereabouts is your accent from? - So I'm from South Shields,
but I usually tell people I'm from Newcastle.
- OK. - Oh!
In Newcastle, I think I'm pretty well known.
Outside Newcastle, "Who's this diva?"
I love to put on a show and just make people go,
- "What the fuck is that?" - Fair enough.
I said that when you walked in.
- I'm just a girl. What can I say? - Ooh.
Ooh. Someone's coming.
Ooh.
Oh, she's taken it.
BEEP BEEP!
Up the ass.
Hi!
Yes.
My name is Silllexa Diction.
I'm 26 and I'm from Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Big batty gyal.
Oh, my God. Those breasts.
Wow.
I need to stop winking at the camera.
I'm just winking at the camera so much.
Something for the dads.
- Hello! - Hey, diva. - Oh, my God.
Look at them go. I cannot stop looking at her tits.
They are bloody heavy.
I'm still a man, at the end of the day.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Leeds. - Leeds. - West Yorkshire. Yeah, baby.
- The first girl from Leeds on Drag Race. So... - Congratulations!
Yes!
She's been performing for years.
I'm a pillar of the Leeds drag scene.
Full-time drag queen, full-time seamstress,
full-time drag sensation.
Let's talk about this.
Oh, my God. Did you make this?
- I made this. Yeah, baby. - Shut up! - Girl...
..get ready.
LAUGHTER
I look like a bitch, but I do love having fun.
I'm silly, I'm stupid, and I'm ready.
I'm kind of ready for a shit one, to be honest.
- Everyone looks really good so far. - Oh, thank you!
- What? - Shut up!
Pizza! I love it.
Ah!
This isn't the Great British Bake Off.
Oh, well.
Hello, my lovelies. My name is Pasty.
Oh!
- Doing a sausage roll now. - I was baked in Cornwall,
but now I sell myself all over the streets of East London.
I think I see her steak bake. Oh, my goodness.
Hello!
I'm bringing some camp, some comedy and some stupidity, baby.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Cornwall originally,
- but now... - Oh, the Cornish Pasty. - Pasty. Yeah.
- Making sense now. - Makes sense. - Wheels are turning now.
The cogs are turning, but the hamster's dead.
- Oh! - There you go.
I don't mind looking like a twat, basically.
And I think some of the other queens might see that as a weakness,
but then when it comes to a comedy challenge
and they can't make people laugh, then... Then they're the shit ones.
I'm actually mostly known for dressing up as a sausage roll.
- Shut up. - Yeah, yeah. - Are you the one in the Greggs bag?
- I think I've seen that. - I'm the one in the Greggs bag.
- Shut up. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's me.
I went viral for doing a sausage roll number.
Usually when I say Pasty, they're usually like,
"Oh, you're that queen that opened Greggs."
And I'm like, "Yeah, I am."
- Are we ready to meet more queens? - Yes!
You know, she's made her whole career dressed as a sausage roll.
I think that's fab, girl!
- Oh! - Body.
Who's this? Who's this?
- Oh, wow. - Wow!
Hello, Drag Race darlings.
How does it feel to gaze upon an angel?
CELESTIAL MUSIC
CHEERING
Hi, divas. It's me, Nyongbella.
I'm 25 and I'm from London.
Angel of my dream.
I'm stealing that.
Nyongbella is all things fab, all things good.
Glitzy showgirl, crazy anime cartoon character.
Yeah!
What else do people know me for?
Oh, yeah. Face, face, legs, legs, legs, darling.
- So, where are you from? - Oh, I'm from London.
- Oh, London. - London girlies! - So two London girlies.
- Yes. - When did you start doing drag?
This is actually my second year of doing drag.
- Oh, seriously? - Yeah! - And you're on Drag Race already.
- How does that feel? - Well, I mean,
when it's correct, it's correct, isn't it?
THEY CHEER
I've done quite well for myself.
KK. Mwah.
Guys, how are we feeling about the competition?
Is anyone feeling really...competitive?
Are we going to be throwing some pearls?
Slashing some ankles? Like, what are we feeling?
You all seem really fierce.
I think my drag is going to speak for itself.
- You're the competitive one, I think. - I think I might be.
- You're the competitive one. - I mean, we've still got time.
I know I'm here to win. Are we all here to win?
Yes!
Do I sing? Not really.
Do I dance? Not particularly.
But what is Drag Race about? The Doll.
And the Doll has arrived.
Extra, extra. Read all about it!
Oh!
- Masculine. - She sounds handsome.
Handsome!
Oh!
- Oh, who is that? - Well...
It's about bloody time! Yeah!
Come on.
Hello, my name is Paige Three.
I'm a drag queen from London and I live in Surrey.
- Icon. - Girl.
- Icon, yes, that's right. - Yes, baby!
My drag aesthetic - topless girls glamour.
Tits.
Even though I don't wear a breastplate,
which is a complete contradiction. But just get over it.
Hello, divas!
CHEERING
There's a lot of Pamela Anderson reference in there.
You know, if you're going to do Pam,
you have to have the big blonde hair.
So where about in London do you perform
and what type of performance do you do?
Er, I would say it's probably better to say,
- er, where I don't perform. - Everywhere. - Everywhere.
So everywhere. All around the towns and everything, darling.
Yeah, mainly like Soho.
Everyone knows Paige Three is THE dancer of London.
Like she splits, she dips, she kicks.
So, Paige, would you say that you're a competitive queen?
Well, I think that if you aren't competitive,
there's something wrong.
I have drive.
If you take that the wrong way, that's not my fault.
See, you all said I was the competitive one.
- At least I've got this girl now. - To send you home.
Oh!
- We'll see, bitch, we'll see. - We will.
CHURCH BELLS RING
Oh!
Oh, stunning.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK...
..I do.
CHEERING
Hi. My name is Elle Vosque.
I'm 22 and I'm from Belfast in Northern Ireland.
- Oh, look at the bow. - Look at the big bow.
- Look at her big... - Big bow.
In the Belfast drag scene,
I would be known for being pretty.
But I'm here to show that I'm not just a pretty face.
But the pretty face does help.
My signature look for Elle is very girlie.
I'm going to show that I'm clean, polished and the wink and a smile.
- So I'm from Belfast. - Yes! - And I am a karaoke queen.
- That's my main gig. - Ooh!
Love a bit of karaoke. But I don't just sing. I can do it all.
I know quite a few of yous, actually.
- Oh! - Does any of yous recognise me?
The table's gone silent.
The table has a tumbleweed going across it.
I knew this was going to happen, but I think that's kind of good.
- It is because you get, like... - Yous have no idea.
- Exactly. - These other queens may not have heard of me,
but I am here to make it clear
that us Belfast bitches get the job done.
- I'm pretty well-rounded, I would say. - Yeah. - Good.
- Not to reveal too much. - Oh!
VIOLIN PLAYS
Shut up.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, that's mad.
What?
Hold on. I don't need a shtick.
Yeah!
- Check it. - Yes, bitch!
Divas, my name is Viola.
I'm 22 years old.
I am a songstress, a musician.
The maestro of drag.
So whereabouts are you from?
I'm from Coventry, but I live in Manchester.
- Ooh! - Manchester!
The Manchester scene loves the violin.
That is my...
That is my niche.
I am the UK's only violin and vocals queen.
- Oh! - OK!
There are a handful of violinists around the UK,
but none of them can sing like me.
Have you been to everybody's house
and checked that nobody can sing and play the violin?
I get an audience going by making them go,
"Oh. I have never seen anyone,
"let alone a drag queen, do something like that."
Is there anything you feel like you're going to excel at?
Girl Group, the Design Challenge.
- OK. - Nice.
- Can you make outfits? - This was made by me.
Oh!
Stun.
How did all the drag queens react to me?
They're either threatened or impressed.
Who's going to be my biggest competition?
None of them can play the violin
or the kazoo.
Ooh!
Go on!
She's got her tits out.
Sawadee kha, bitches.
- Yes! - Oh!
Hello. My name is Chai T Grande,
and I am your sweet, spicy, steaming hot beverage
all the way from exotic London.
- Ooh! - Whoa!
WHIP SNAPS
Hello, girls.
CHEERING
I live for my high pony.
Little bit dominatrix.
I'm here to slap the competition into shape.
- Give me a whip, give me a whip. - OK.
- Whoa! - Very good.
She nearly hit the skin!
I proudly carry the privilege
and the responsibility of being Thai and English.
So, yeah, I try to kind of reconnect
to my Thai heritage through drag as well.
So, Chai, darling, what do you do and where are you from?
Here to represent for London.
CHEERING
I can do a little bit of everything.
I can dance.
Are you one of the Soho Queens?
Er... I work in Soho,
but I don't think I'm technically part of THE Soho Queens.
- The girls of Soho. - The girls.
No, not me. Not me.
I do drag three to four times a week as a door whore
in a club in central London.
There's hundreds of queens per every opportunity,
so it's definitely hard.
But I'm here, I'm on Drag Race,
and I'm ready to show the world what I'm capable of.
So, Chai, are you going to whip the competition?
Absolutely, baby.
- Yes! - Yes!
Honestly, I do live when she does that.
- Oh! - Oh, my God!
- Ooh! - OK!
- Who is it? - Are we getting a reveal?
Let us see!
Hello, gorgeous.
VIOLA GASPS
No way!
- What? What, what, what, what? - It's Bonnie!
Hi, my name is Bonnie Ann Clyde.
I am 30 years old.
I'm originally from Dublin and I am a funny girl.
Show us your face in the mirror!
LAUGHTER
I would describe my drag as just totally stupid...
Hello!
..but wrapped up in the most glamorous package
you've ever seen in your life.
- I'm from Dublin, originally, from Ireland. - Oh!
I'm the first-ever queen
from the Republic of Ireland on Drag Race.
- Oh! - Oh, wow!
- That's shit all over my cornflakes. - There you go.
How long have you been doing drag?
Ten years.
- Ten years?! - Yes, ten years. - What's your drag like?
So I'm a lip sync girlie.
I love to do megamixes filled with spoken word.
My favourite thing to do is basically just come out onstage,
- look absolutely amazing... - Yep. - Yeah.
..and then do a song about cats.
LAUGHTER
Werk.
Spoken word, cats.
Anything else?
You've been on the scene for ten years.
Come on, love, give us a little bit more.
So, Bonnie and Viola, how do you two know each other?
We do a bit of cabaret together.
You're fab. She plays the violin.
- I do. - Do you? - And I play the skin flute, so...
LAUGHTER
We're sisters, like that way.
What's your favourite tune?
- Up and down. - Up and down?
Yeah. I'll teach it to you later.
- OK. - Ooh!
- Oh! - Oh!
Oh, my God.
It's the plague!
I'm bad to the bones, baby.
CHEERING
Hi, I'm Bones. I'm 25.
I'm originally from Greater Manchester,
but now I am the witchy, boho queen of Soho.
I hear rattling.
CHEERING
I'm a looks queen at heart,
but I can do a little bit of everything.
I love to perform.
I produce some of the best shows in London.
- A drag queen from London? - A drag queen from London.
Yeah. I'm a force to be reckoned with.
- Fancy seeing you here. - I know!
Bones is very well-known in the London scene.
She's frigging amazing.
She's that girl.
I know you to be the queen, of, like, New Soho.
- Well... - Pretty much.
I think I do have a reputation.
Yeah, I'm definitely the one to impress.
Well, I would say it myself, actually.
LAUGHTER
We love a humble queen.
I have quite an iconic drag family, really.
Quite a few of the Drag Race UK alumni.
Our good Lip Sync Assassin sister DeDeLicious,
our winner, Krystal Versace,
and we strut around London.
It's quite nice to have a break from the regular, like...
- That's what I was thinking. - Yeah.
"I'm here on a Monday
"and then I'm here on a Wednesday and blah-blah-blah."
- So I'm like... - She's booked.
LAUGHTER
Well, I didn't want to say it, but maybe I did.
I'm a little bit of a socialite.
In the London scene, I'm known for high concept, high production.
I kind of give you the full fantasy, always.
And it's about to be heavenly.
Right, girls. We are the cast of Drag Race UK season seven!
CHEERING
Hello, hello, hello!
CHEERING
Gorgeous.
Ah! She's here.
It's like Christmas Day, but for drag queens.
Good morning, ladykins.
Good morning!
Look how gorgeous you all are!
Welcome to RuPaul's Drag Race UK season seven.
CHEERING
Oh, my God.
Are you feeling lucky?
- Yes. - Always!
Good.
Because out of all the queens in the queendom, I've chosen you.
Thank you.
Now, from this moment on, the power of your charisma,
uniqueness, nerve and talent is unlimited.
But remember, in the end,
only one of you will be crowned the UK's next Drag Race superstar
and walk away with a cash prize of £25,000.
CHEERING
Do you know how many sausage rolls
you could get for 25 grand?
Oh, Brit crew!
- Hello! - Oh, my gosh!
Thank you so much.
Did it get warmer in here?
Ooh! Thank you.
I am gasping
and I'm not talking about that glass of prosecco.
Now, I'd like to propose a toast.
To my girls,
here's to spreading love
and setting the world's pussy on fire.
- Yes! - Hear, hear!
- Cheers! - Bottoms up!
Now, ladykins, for your very first maxi challenge,
you are cordially invited to attend the star-studded Brit Gala.
Ooh!
The biggest night in fashion
with the smallest staircase.
First, you'll need to work the pink carpet
in a signature drag look that will blow us away.
Plus, you need to answer thirsty questions
from a hungry pack of VIQs.
As in very important queens.
Ooh!
So why y'all just standing around?
Racers, start your engines
and may the best drag queen win.
Welcome to the inaugural Brit Gala!
Tonight, the UK's newest drag fashionistas
spill the tea with us, your hosts,
for this glittering extravaganza.
All the new queens from Drag Race UK season seven
are here to steal the spotlight.
They better make a good impression.
Mama's watching. Mm-hm.
Come on.
Oh, wait. Someone's coming.
Come on.
Oh. It's just Michelle and Alan.
Sorry we're late.
Michelle insisted we took the stairs.
My nipples are chafing.
Tough titty!
- Sh! The gala is starting. - Ooh!
First on the pink carpet, Chai T Grande.
Ah, it's Michelle and Alan! I just want to touch them.
It's mad.
- It's obviously a skinny latte. - Yeah.
But of course there are going to be steps.
It's the Brit Gala!
- No dairy here. - Mm-hm.
She's an IBS queen.
LAUGHTER
Chai T Grande, you look gorgeous tonight.
Oh thank you, my darling.
Asian excellence is the category of the evening.
Being interviewed by Marina is crazy.
She's someone that I've looked up to.
So I'm like, what do I say? What do I say? Ah!
What's been your biggest fashion disaster?
Apart from this.
LAUGHTER
I don't do fashion disasters. It's not in my vocabulary.
Well, it's time for your Slay Mo shot, my love.
- Go kill it. - Thank you.
Ooh! Can I get it to go?
It's Chai T Grande.
Sally TM.
Here come the paps.
Oh, my God. Stop! Oh, my God.
- I might go blind. - It's what happens.
Serving Evita. Come on!
Sally ho!
Wey aye, pet. You're a Geordie.
Aye, I am. Aye.
- Chicken teriyaki. - Aye.
I can't really see anything.
I think that Baga Chipz is talking to me,
but honestly, it could be anyone.
I absolutely love your make-up.
- Thank you so much. - It looks absolutely...
LAUGHTER
Tell me a secret
you've never told anyone else before.
I had my wisdom teeth taken out and I made them into earrings,
but I'm scared to wear them because they're very yellow.
LAUGHTER
I hope you have a ball tonight, or maybe two.
Thank you so much.
Get it, Sally! Get it!
She's got the moves.
Up next on the pink carpet
is Catrin Feelings.
Oh, my days.
I'm actually at the Brit Gala, girls.
I am starstruck.
Just hope I can string a sentence together.
That's the most glamorous sleeping bag I've ever seen.
I was going to say it's the most glamorous foreskin I've ever seen.
LAUGHTER
- Hello, hello, hello. - Hello!
Normally I'd ask you who you're wearing,
but why are you wearing this, girl?
LAUGHTER
Fair enough, fair enough.
So I've come dressed as a Welsh leek-inspired outfit.
I also hear you speak German.
- You know what? That's all you need to know. - Yes.
I knew that GCSE German would come in handy someday.
I wish you the best of luck with your Slay Mo shot.
Oh, danke.
Thank you, Catrin Feelings.
Here comes Silllexa Diction.
She's really branching out.
- I want to get my leaf blower out. - Mm.
All right. I'm standing here with Silllexa Diction.
I heard that you go way back when
with Drag Race UK icon Gothy Kendoll.
Now, do you have any fun memories, stories or anything?
I do have one story. It's a little bit crude.
He was round at my house. We were getting in glam
and then I walked him to the bus stop to go home.
And on the way home,
I followed through at my doorstep.
Are we supposed to know what follow through means?
I shat myself.
- Oh! - I followed through. Yeah.
Talking about following through wasn't really my plan.
Oh, God. That was so bad.
Well, every day's a school day.
It sure is.
Well, thank you, Silllexa Diction.
Up next, Tayris Mongardi.
Come on, micro braids!
Ooh, look at all that cushion.
- For more pushin'. - Yes, mama.
- Tayris Mongardi. - There you are, there you are.
Well, let me tell you, that's a mouthful, girl.
Can you just say that for us...
- I've had many a mouthful. I am black. - OK.
I hear that you're a Brighton queen.
- Yes. - Yes?
Yes, absolutely, gorge.
Do you know where I got this?
Brighton, I'm guessing.
H&M, girl. That's Brighton drag, diva.
Oh, OK. Well, listen, I thought you got it at the airport, honey,
because you got these airport, you know, pillows.
Anyway, now...
LAUGHTER
This interview with Plane Jane is just bizarre.
I don't know why I'm finding this so stilted.
Plane and I are not connecting and Mama Ru is sat right there.
Now, unfortunately, not everybody will make the best dressed list.
I could have told you that, girl.
I could have told you that, looking at you too.
- Now... - Oh, oh, oh!
Yeah, I don't think we're clicking.
Ooh, Tay-Tay, you cray-cray!
It's Tayris!
Up next, Pasty.
She's made a bleeding tit of herself.
This is a period drama.
Can someone call a medic?
We have a fashion emergency right here.
- You look bloody gorgeous, my love. - Thank you, my darling.
Marina Summers, she's so stunning.
I'm starstruck.
OK. What's a surprising fact about you?
I... Well, actually, I have bilateral coloboma.
Bilateral what?
Coloboma.
It basically has made me lose, like, the top 50% of my vision.
Wow.
One minute I'm walking in as a giant pasty,
and the next minute I'm at the Brit Gala
talking about my vision impairment.
What?!
Werk.
At least I'm spreading awareness.
She's bi.
Lateral.
Yeah!
Up next, it's Bonnie Ann Clyde.
Michelle, what do you say to an interrupting cow?
- What, Ru, what do you say? - Moo!
RUPAUL LAUGHS
Top of the mornin' to ya.
How was my Irish accent there?
Rate it from one to ten.
Minus five.
THEY LAUGH
Well, anyways, why is this dress so you?
- It's dog. - OK.
And I'm a bitch.
- Oh, Dalmatian. - Oh, you're a Dalmatian, not a cow.
What does the interrupting dog say?
- Woof! - Woof! OK.
RUPAUL LAUGHS
She's on a crime spree - it's Bonnie Ann Clyde.
Presenting...Paige Three.
I didn't know it was RuPaul's Rag Race.
RUPAUL LAUGHS
You can sing, dance.
Oh, my God, you can act.
What can't you do?
Well, I'm actually a four-way girl,
and I can suck dick and cock on a Friday night, darling,
I can do that too, trust and believe.
What?
So nice that Ru could learn my fourth talent
this early in the competition.
Hot off the press, it's Paige Three.
Up next, Nyongbella.
Let them eat cock.
OK.
It's Nyongbella.
Before you joined the glitterati, do you remember your first job?
You know, I was a young thing.
I needed a bit of money, so I went on a particular website
and this person wanted a personal assistant.
And I thought, "Well, I'm a person, I can assist."
So the guy was naked. The guy was actually really nice, to be fair.
I cleaned a yoga mat and he paid me, like, £300.
I've been told once or twice before that, you know, I might give a story
with a bit of a tangent, but hey, I'm trying to world-build, OK?
What's your signature party trick?
SHE HUMS "KITTY GIRL" THROUGH HER NOSTRILS
Yes!
Thank you!
Ding-dong! It's Nyongbella.
It's Viola!
The lady is a vamp.
Yes, she is.
- Hello, Angeria. How are you doing? - I'm wonderful.
You are our first-ever queen from Coventry.
What is Coventry?
Well, have you heard of Lady Godiva?
The chocolate?
LAUGHTER
Lady Godiva actually invented flashing.
She went around the streets of Coventry naked on a horse,
in aid of tax reasons.
OK. All right. That was an answer.
RUPAUL LAUGHS
Ru is laughing,
but I think he's just laughing to fill the awkward silence.
She should be so plucky. It's Viola!
Y'all, it's Bones.
- She's got a splitting headache and doesn't know why. - I know.
- She's giving me daggers. - Yes, she is.
Hello, Bones. How are you, my darling?
Let me guess what you've come dressed as. Is it a mushroom?
A big, massive bellend?
There's nothing like a big, gold penis, really,
to really turn a head on the runway.
Oh, yeah, I love a polished knob.
So, how did you become the queen of Soho?
So I guess I just worked hard, you know?
Did iconic shit, you know, like, people gave me the title.
- I didn't give it to myself. - You look absolutely gorgeous.
- Now, enjoy the ball, Bones. - Thank you.
She's been under the knife. It's Bones.
Up next, Elle Vosque.
I guess she didn't see the sign that said wet paint.
Easy to miss, so it is.
So it is.
Come on, Luther Vandross.
Luther? I hardly know her.
LAUGHTER
- Elle Vosque. - Hey, Jane.
How are you?
RUPAUL LAUGHS
I'm all right, thank you.
You look gorgeous, girl.
- Thank you! - You look like the '80s threw up on you, girl, yes.
I wanted it to be like My Fair Lady on an acid trip.
Looking around here at the Brit Gala,
- it is just a star-studded event. - Yeah.
Um, why exactly are you here?
RUPAUL CACKLES
She says that, wearing that.
I feel like Jane is really throwing me some spanners here,
but I'm throwing them right back.
This is my time to shine.
Can you do any impressions for me?
You look like a pop star.
You sound like a pop star,
but it's just Plane Jane.
- Louis Walsh! - Yes! - Thank you.
Cheers, Michelle.
I would've never have guessed.
THEY LAUGH
Have an incredible gala, my love.
What the Elle? It's Elle Vosque.
So it is, eh?
So that concludes our Brit gala.
My queens, tomorrow on the main stage,
you'll be going back to your roots,
because category is...
..queen of your hometown.
Yeah!
This will be your last chance to make a first impression,
because tomorrow, one of you will be going back to your hometown.
Oh, my God.
Unless, that is, you hear this sound.
COW MOOS
LAUGHTER
What is this moo sound? What does it mean?
"Moo" Paul?
But more on that later.
Until then, good luck, and don't fuck it up.
THEY CHEER
- Oh, my God. - Say goodnight, ladies.
Goodnight, ladies!
Oh, my God.
- Let's go, let's go! - Our bags!
- Yes! - Oh, my God.
The bags! The bags! Go, go, go!
Which one's mine?
Shift!
I'm tripping over myself.
- Whose is this big stick? - Not mine.
So we're finally getting out of drag,
and I'm looking around the room
and getting to see who all the divas are.
THEY SING "BIG SPENDER"
Everyone's sniffing each other's bums like dogs.
Feels like we're doing bumper cars.
We all want to know what we've got to give in this competition.
I can see people sussing each other out.
Agh! I'm wearing the same wig.
I'm so glad we're together.
Oh, it took an earring off as well.
- I don't know where it's gone. Oh, there it is. - I'm free and I'm bald.
In the Werk Room now, which is weird to say,
I'm feeling very at home.
We're all just like, you know, having a night about.
Oh, my God.
How did everyone feel about the challenge?
- I really enjoy it. - You did? - Yeah.
Not in a cocky way, but I'm happy with what I presented.
Cocky's good. Cocky's good. Confidence is good.
Exactly. How about you both?
I found it quite hard, and I was like,
"Oh, no, I've made myself look a twat already."
But it's day one. Tomorrow is a new day.
- Season servin'. - Season servin'.
Season... Season servin'.
So I'm not sure how today went. However,
tomorrow is our first runway.
This is so bloody cool
and I'm so excited to see what the other girls bring.
Oh, my gosh.
So we kind of cross.
- That was no shade. - That was shade!
I've seen a bigger ring that belongs to you, to be fair.
Oh, she's hidden away.
Are you excited to be here representing
for the trans community?
I am! I'm always happy to be a beacon of light.
How are you feeling about being away from home?
It's kind of crazy, to be honest.
I don't know, because I don't necessarily travel quite a lot.
I'm a homebody. I enjoy being at home.
- Do you live with your parents or do you...? - Yes.
- So I still live with my mum. - I do too. - Right.
I have never been away from home,
and I think my biggest fear about this competition
is being away from my mummy!
I'm going to miss a wee cup of tea
and just a chitchat every night,
but I just know I need to keep going and do her proud.
How do you feel about, like, some of the bigger names in the room?
I know that I'm different and I know that I'm completely out of the box.
Yeah. It's hard not to think,
"Oh, I know exactly what, like, Paige Three does",
or Bones, the bigger names here,
but they don't know what we do.
- Yeah, exactly. - And that's not a bad thing. - No, not at all.
I think I'm going to be severely underestimated in this competition.
I am an oddball, but I'm a fierce oddball.
- I'm just a creative, like. - Yeah.
THEY LAUGH
CHEERING
- Let's go! - It's a new day in the Werk Room,
and somebody is going home.
- Are you excited? - Yeah. - I'm buzzing. It's the first runway.
After the Brit Gala challenge, I'm hopeful that I've done enough
to keep me in the competition,
but anything could change on the runway.
So you're the first queen from Dublin?
I'm the first queen from, like, Dublin
- and the whole Republic of Ireland as well, which is... - Crazy.
Um, Belfast is just like, in my opinion,
baby drag queen central.
Oh, there is baby drag queens every week in Belfast.
The Irish scene, it's all about having fun.
- 100%. - I think you go to scenes in the UK...
It's all about being a supermodel and, yeah.
It's very, like, serious.
They just want to have the craic and have a good night.
I am really, like, excited just to represent,
and I'm hoping I'll do my country proud.
So have you always lived in London, Nyo?
Um, more or less. I mean, I did live in Cameroon
for about four or five years, so from, like, 12 to 16.
How was teenage years in Cameroon?
Um, it was interesting.
It was quite the adjustment, you know.
Obviously, being queer and everything like that,
that's like a criminal offence.
How was, like, friends and school and stuff?
It was interesting, I think,
because a lot of people were kind of nice to me and everything,
until, like, they weren't. So...
Being queer in Cameroon, I never shied away from that.
I never tried to conceal that fact.
I knew that not a lot of people
got me or, like, liked me for that reason.
I'd gone through it so much, essentially,
so I think around, like, my last year there, I was like,
"You know what? Fuck it. I'm just going to be me.
- "I'm going to do me." - Yeah. - Go balls to the wall.
- Live the Nyongbella fantasy, honey. - Exactly, give them the fantasy.
So even if people did have, like, thoughts,
like, opinions about me, I was just like,
"I don't really care any more."
I've never been a person, like, to come out or, like,
really just feel like I need to explain myself.
Like, I've always just kind of done me.
I didn't really give a fuck. It was like, "You hate me.
"Oh, well, that's, you know, that's your loss.
"Like, you have poor taste, I guess."
How are your parents with... Are they traditional Cameroonian?
Somewhat traditional, but not super traditional.
They're pretty supportive. Like, I don't know if they really grasped
the full parameters of what I do. But now they're, like,
"Oh, my God, you look great and you look fab." So...
Coming from a Cameroonian background,
you know, being a drag queen was not the career path
that my parents had for me, but they really are embracing what I do.
- Here I am today on Drag Race. - Here you are, honey.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to show
on the runway today, baby.
- Representing our home town. - I know. I'm excited.
I feel like we really turn it with the looks.
Guys, nothing's scarier than that moo.
- I know! - The moo, the moo! - What was the moo?
Well, it's only a matter of time until we find out more.
Ooh! Terrifying!
SALLY TM CACKLES
- That was an evil laugh. - Thank you. - It was an evil laugh.
This is the first runway, and I'm very excited.
I might just piss a little.
I can tell some of these girls are nervous and they're not showing it.
The thought of walking the runway is everything.
I think it's what I do best,
and it's what I've been looking forward to doing. So bring it on!
ECHOING LAUGHTER
# Cover girl!
# Put the bass in your walk
# Head to toe, let your whole body talk... #
Woo!
# And what? #
Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
She screams fashion.
It's Michelle Visage.
FASHIOOOOOON!
Michelle, I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
What took you so long?
Up next, the super spexy Alan Carr.
Alan, do you enjoy a pink carpet?
Not really...
..but I never turn down a shag.
LAUGHTER
And back by popular demand, it's Joel Dommett.
Now, Joel, what is going on here?
Uh, Alan told me it was the naked episode.
I'm livid! I look like an idiot!
But he's very excited to be here.
Ooh! Joe!
On behalf of a grateful nation, welcome.
For this week's premiere, we challenged our queens
to slay the pink carpet at the Brit Gala.
And tonight on the runway category is Queen Of Your Hometown.
Racers, start your engines.
And may the best drag queen win.
Category is Queen Of Your Hometown.
Queen of the Peak District...
Bones!
Peak District is a national park.
The kind of people you see in the Peak District are farmers,
walkers, doggers, and other country folk.
She lives near Winderqueer!
I'm serving a high fashion walker with a big puffy windbreaker.
We've got big puffy trousers
because it does get very cold on them peaks.
It's exhilarating.
- She's what you would call a jacket Bonetato. - Yes, honey.
- She's insulated for your pleasure. - Yas.
I hope I'm making my hometown proud and they're, like,
"Yeah, I see that. That is a fashiony version
"of people that live in the Peak District."
If that's the peak, I'd hate to see the trough!
Up next, Queen of Treorchy in the Rhondda Valley...
..Catrin Feelings.
I am serving Welsh traditional rrrrealness.
I'm here in my little Welsh traditional ladies outfit,
with a little bit of a twist.
The twist being, I'm a man.
- Many secrets under that hat. - Yes.
I've got my sash on, I've got my massive chimney hat,
and I'm giving you all a bit of traditional Welsh dance, clocsio.
Got to be done, girlies.
I hear she's got a massive daffodildo!
LAUGHTER
This look is 100% Catrin Feelings, 100% Home-grown Welsh beef.
And would those be considered wizards sleeves?
Yes.
Up next, the Queen of London, Nyongbella.
I am wearing my Big Ben fantasy.
The clocks are clocking and I'm feeling like Miss London.
My body is tea I am hot like a Bunsen.
I hear this dress is self-winding.
LAUGHTER
I wanted to think of something that's iconically London.
And I feel like, what better to pick than Big Ben?
Or, in my case, Big Bengina.
I hear she's a clock destroyer.
You know, I'm giving my best Tyra Banks walk.
I see the judges, and it's time for me to be in their favour.
She's a real time-piece of work.
She certainly is.
Ding dong!
The Queen of Surrey Hills, Paige Three.
Wow.
Mama, I am gliding down this runway,
and this is like an actual dream come true.
I've kind of given Surrey Hills with a little bit of a unique spin.
Love means never having to say you're Surrey.
Surrey seems to be the hardest word.
Am I doing my hometown proud?
I'm not sure, but it looks like there's absolutely nothing there
but a few sheep,
which is actually kind of that. Surrey Hills, baby.
The hills are alive with the sound of tucking.
Uh-huh!
The Queen of London via Bangkok. Chai T Grande.
I am serving pride in being mixed race.
I have the Thai flag at the front and the Union Jack at the back.
And I feel so powerful.
God save the King and I.
It's good, it's good.
I've got this incredible headpiece which weighs a tonne.
Amazing nails, this beautiful, intricate gold armour.
It's my background, it's my heritage.
This is the essence of Chai T Grande.
Girl, your pad Thai is on fire.
I like to interpret my heritage as double, not half.
Variety is the spice of life.
And that is what I'm serving.
Red, white and Ru.
Mm.
- It's not a laugh. - It's a pun.
It's definitely a pun.
The Queen of Coventry, Viola!
- Ribbon for your pleasure. - Yes!
I am representing the historical ribbon industry of Coventry.
Wearing Coventry's signature colours, the sky blues.
- She's had her rib-bon removed. - Mm.
- It was wonderful. - Was that too much?
Just enough.
Fun fact, Coventry has been the home of the ribbon industry for years,
so if you know anyone that was around in the 18th century
and they had ribbons, they would have been from Coventry.
Mm. Unbe-weave-able.
Did I weave it myself on a loom?
Yes, I did!
The Queen of South Shields, Sally TM.
Inspired by the Tyne and Wear Metro,
I am wearing this gorgeous little corset.
A train for the trains.
Choo-choo, bitch!
Ooh! Mind the gap.
Tickets, please. Tickets, please. Give me your tickets!
Forget high-vis, this is high-jizz!
Joel!
Too much? I can't tell where the line is on this show.
There is no line.
Diva, I get the metro every day, basically.
And where does that terminate? South Shields!
It's like Big Bird had Ozempic.
I hope Ru is learning that I'm still a little bit of a tit,
with or without a mask.
Up next, the Queen of Cornwall, Pasty.
Pasty, how corny is your wall?
I'm serving Eden Project eleganza, baby, boom!
My umbrella represents the biomes, I'm dripping in flowers.
Honey, it's a rainforest.
I want to put my meat in that pasty.
The Eden Project is so gorgeous.
Just like me.
I would, but I've just EDEN my lunch.
Queen of Brighton, Tayris Mongardi.
Brighton is home to the oldest open aquarium in the whole world,
and I came here representing the pufferfish.
The colour palette is right.
It's sitting gorgeous on my melanated skin. I look incredible.
I think someone spiked my outfit.
So I'm wearing a giant puffer jacket all adorned with spikes.
I've got a leotard that shows off my curves and my swerves perfectly.
And my afro puffs to show I'm just a little black girl, honey.
Now you'll feel a small prick.
What do I know about pufferfish?
Honestly, like, nothing.
They have, like, no relevance to my life.
But they're fierce and so am I.
I didn't know there was stegosauruses in Brighton.
Queen of Belfast, Elle Vosque.
I am doing Belfast proud by serving the Titanic Museum.
It is located right where the Titanic was built.
In my opinion, it is the coolest structure in Belfast.
Are there room for two on this piece of wood?
I'm giving you sharp, angular edges.
I am serving very futuristic make-up and hair.
Draw me like one of your French girls.
She is handsome, she is pretty, she is Elle from Belfast city.
- Love that. - So cute.
Queen of Dublin, Bonnie Ann Clyde.
Top of the mornin'? She's more of a bottom in the morning.
LAUGHTER
Bonnie Ann Clyde gets invited to Drag Race UK and, of course,
the first thing she does is show the judges her big red snake.
HISSING
Where are you hiding the rest of your snakes?
St Patrick is our patron saint, and I really wanted to make,
like, a fierce version of that to bring to the runway.
She's the patron saint of Guinness.
Does the Pope shit in the woods?
Because I'm about to shit all over this competition.
My mother's going to love that one.
If anyone's missing a snooker table, I've found it!
LAUGHTER
The Queen of Yorkshire, Silllexa Diction.
As they say in Yorkshire, gay-up!
I am serving a giant, voluptuous Yorkshire pudding.
I can't wait to fill you all with my thick gravy.
- Is she gravy for pay? - Oh, it's a gravy area.
I tear away my Yorkshire pudding
to reveal me dripping in gravy glamour.
The waist is cinched, the hips are puffed.
Yorkshire boys love gravy.
DING
I want to put you all over my potatoes.
I think Leeds is going to be so happy to see this look.
I am bringing a Yorkshire classic and Silllexafying in it.
- This pudding's on its way to Browntown. - Ooh!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!
Welcome, queens! I've made some decisions.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Catrin Feelings.
Paige Three.
Elle Vosque.
You are the top three queens of the week.
- Oh, my God! - What?
Now, when I call your name,
please step forward, Nyongbella.
Pasty.
Tayris.
You are the bottom three queens of the week.
That means Bones, Chai T Grande,
Viola, Sally TM, Bonnie Ann Clyde,
and Silllexa Diction, you are all safe.
The safe queens may step to the back of the stage.
Ru has kept all of the girls onstage and has told us the tops
and the bottoms, and that doesn't usually happen.
What is going on?
Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
First up, Catrin Feelings.
What I loved about you at the Brit Gala,
you held your own when the questions were asked.
Get slayin'!
You were pure good vibes and you're a proud Welsh girl.
You just made me smile.
Tonight, you look like a crazy Welsh Abraham Lincoln.
LAUGHTER
And I'm here for every second. I love it.
I love the gingham. I just want to sit on you and have a picnic.
It's...
- ..wonderful. - You were delightful.
You felt like an ambassador to Wales.
Did you have fun on the pink carpet?
I had a whale of a time. Fair play.
Well, you done good.
Thank you.
Up next, Nyongbella.
So you came out in the Brit Gala, and I'm going to say this with love.
If I go the rest of my life without seeing another Marie Antoinette.
It's just been there, done that.
Remember that when you are being interviewed
to let your true self shine through, and you ARE special.
With this outfit, I wanted you to be bigger and more confident.
That's one of the smallest clocks I've ever seen.
The runway look, this doesn't encapsulate London.
And I think the irony for me is, when you were at the Brit Gala,
your persona there
DID encapsulate London - intoxicating a little bit cray cray.
I mean, who doesn't enjoy a bit of nose flute on a night out?
SHE HUMS "KITTY GIRL" THROUGH HER NOSTRILS
The Brit Gala was designed to show who you are. On the pink carpet,
there was this put-on personality
until you started playing music on your nose.
Then I went, "Oh, there she is! That's fun."
And then, of course, the outfit.
It's got to be more elevated for this stage.
I take it all in stride and will apply it.
Up next, Paige Three.
What you brought to the Brit Gala and what you brought tonight,
I get what you do now, and I'm here for it.
What do you do with Surrey Hills?
It's stunning and it's beautiful.
I loved your attitude on the pink carpet.
You were fierce.
I can suck dick and cock on a Friday night, darling. Trust and believe.
It excites me.
This is my favourite outfit of tonight.
Is it weird for me to say I want to hang my coat on your shoulder?
Darling, you can hang your coat on my shoulder any day.
I love that.
Surrey Hills - what part of the country is it?
South-west of London.
Show us on your hat where you live.
Right about there.
- I love it. Thank you. - Thank YOU.
Up next, Pasty.
You came to the Brit Gala and you gave us
a little bit of psycho.
I just think that the fit had issues.
It was a sad shower curtain.
I loved your outfit on the Brit Gala,
but you had such a dishevelled
energy it took away from the outfit.
I think tonight is adorable
and I know you have a personality, so let it out at all times.
I was really intrigued when you were going to be the Eden Project,
cos it's a unique place
and I think you could have had more fun.
You could have been more playful.
Yeah.
Now, look, this isn't your fault, but my mum is ginger and a gardener,
so you just remind me of her right now.
- Hello. - And I never want to see that much of my mum's legs.
But you, you're really great.
Just don't be afraid of being more confident and being more incredible.
You are on the biggest stage in the world right now.
- Let's go for it. - Thank you very much.
Up next, Tayris Mongardi.
So the Brit Gala, I think where I struggled,
Tayris, was the interview part.
I thought there was a lot of talking over each other.
- You're a Brighton queen. - Yes...
- Yes? - Yes, absolutely, gorge.
And it became more almost defensive.
Was you nervous during the interview?
I feel like I do my best to, like, try and volley,
but I think, yeah, I definitely, like, froze up a little bit.
You sort of stumbled a bit. Went...
# I'm just going to fill every blank space with words
- # I don't care what I'm saying. # - Fab.
Tonight, of all the things in Brighton,
you chose the pufferfish at the aquarium. Why?
I think the notion of a pufferfish being like, "Oh, I'm sweet", and
then "bam!" is like very me, do you know what I mean?
So I just thought, I was like, "Oh, that's camp!
"That's a bit of me, girl, innit!"
I love this outfit. It's not like pretty,
you know? It's like harsh, but I love weird.
That's why I love this show so much. It's like the niche
little weird things are so beautiful.
I'll take that. I'll take that. Thank you.
Now, one note about your foundation.
You need a little bit more dimension.
You need to do some highlighting and some contour.
- OK, yeah. - OK?
Up next, Elle Vosque.
You burst onto that pink carpet wearing that neon dress.
It was, "Look at me, look at me."
You were grabbing all the attention.
That's what the Brit Gala is all about.
The way you handled yourself,
you are such a charming kid.
You sound like a pop star, but it's just plain Jane.
And then tonight, it is dynamic and hysterical.
I mean, and you're dressed as a building.
It shouldn't even work.
It just shouldn't work full-stop.
I think you look like you're in
like a really camp gallows. - Yeah.
You know, just...
There's something really pretty about you.
And it's like shining through in this great shiny outfit.
Thank you.
You handled it really, really well.
You were very charming.
You know what? I just saw it as an opportunity.
She was being a bit of a shady bitch
and I was just being a shady bitch right back.
- Well, thank you. - Thanks.
Thank you, queens.
Before you go,
Nyongbella...
..Pasty...
..Tayris...
..tonight, two of you will be chosen to Lip Sync For Your Life.
And if you lose, you will go home.
But there is one way to escape your fate.
In a moment, back in the Werk Room,
your fellow queens will secretly vote for the Lucky Cow.
The Lucky Cow is the bottom queen
that the majority of your fellow competitors
thinks should be saved from a final elimination.
But I will not reveal the Lucky Cow
until AFTER you Lip Sync For Your Life.
So while you chew on that, the judges and I will deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
- Oh, my God. - Phew!
We are back in Untucked for the first time.
I'm currently in the lead...with another two.
Oh, my days.
Miss Catty Feels!
I'm proper chuffed about that.
Should we just take a second, guys, to celebrate the top three?
Raise your drinks, please. Congratulations.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Great. - Crackin'. - Cheers.
I'm surprised I'm in the top, because I didn't have a clue.
Can't believe I've just been critiqued by RuPaul.
That's crazy.
I would really like to win.
I felt good about it. But then,
because it's like we don't get to see each other's,
it's kind of hard to know where you're actually going to stack.
I'm surprised that Elle was in the top.
I've never seen this Titanic museum - apparently it's iconic.
SCOFFS You could have fooled me, honey,
because it looks like tinfoil.
- How are you feeling? - How are you feeling, Tayris? - Yeah.
Erm...
TAYRIS SOBS
- Oh, babe. - Get a grip, girl.
I just feel like I came in and, like, I felt really good.
I've got, like, so much to represent for and even,
like Brighton, because we just, like, flop, you know?
And I kept being, like, "Well, it's cos you haven't had
"me on it yet, innit, girl."
I honestly just feel so crushed.
I'm a very heart-on-my-sleeve kind of person,
and knowing that I haven't resonated with
the judges in the ways I wanted to,
I feel like I've got mad cow disease.
MOOING
Like, if I'm being so real, I feel
like I deserve the Lucky Cow, you know?
I feel like, "Oh, if I don't get this Lucky Cow,
"is it just cos, like, I'm not that popular?"
- Do you know what I mean? - You can't be thinking like that.
Knowing that one of us won't be here tomorrow,
it's just like clapped. It's clapped, girl.
Unless we get the Lucky Cow.
Moo-moo. Yeah. You're right, yeah.
THEY LAUGH
Yeah, you're right.
How are you, Bella?
The challenge, I think, you know, obviously they've seen,
like, Marie Antoinettes before and everything.
I feel like how I was on the carpet is who I am as a person.
I think I do showcase that. And, you know,
they did say that, you know, they liked some parts of it. Like...
It's probably not the time and place, but you done
a cracking nose flute.
LAUGHTER
You've got it, Nyong, because you've fumbled, but it's in there.
I guess if I'm saying why I think I should be like the Lucky Cow,
I guess, you know, I gave everything my best shot.
- That's all I can really say. - Yeah.
So this is definitely not how I saw the fantasy going.
I'm seeing reality right now, and she's looking bleak,
she's looking ugly, she's looking dutty.
Babes, how are you feeling?
The second I left the Brit Gala,
I knew that I'd messed it up.
So I'm not shocked.
But it's shit and I don't want to go.
No, of course. I mean, you looked gorgeous yesterday.
It was just a shame that the dress was rather ill-fitting.
It was... Yeah, all right!
Sorry. No, but you did look gorgeous.
I...really did...
..fumble.
But just remember the girl who walked through that door.
- Don't let this knock you down. - Well, no, that's who I'm trying to be.
You came in as a fucking calzone.
You did.
OVERLAPPING SPEECH
Calzone bitch.
I do feel really deflated. But there's the Lucky Cow.
I am just praying that the rest of the queens can see that
I've got more to bring.
It is not nice to be in this position.
- I would imagine. - I can imagine, babes.
It's horrible for anyone to be in the bottom week one.
This is such a hard decision to make,
but at least I'm in the to-o-op!
OK, divas, I think it's time to vote for the Lucky Cow.
Let's get this bloody show on the road.
BELL RATTLES
Who's feeling lucky?
I'm voting for Nyongbella because I hate to see her so down.
I've decided to vote for Tayris. I think her looks were strong,
and she deserves to be the one to get saved.
If we can avoid an elimination, that is the ideal situation.
So I'm voting for the person
who I think will be going home tonight.
I'm voting for my girlie, Pasty.
I don't know if it's because we're both camp queens.
I feel like me and Pasty have clicked.
We all deserve to be here. We all deserve to do another week.
But who's ready to get milked?
MOOING
All right, now, just between us squirrel friends,
what do you think?
Let's start with the bottom.
Nyongbella. I just think it was a little bit of a miss.
And then the runway look - really?
You think that symbolises London?
Yes. She should have really pushed it.
Listen, if it's not elevated, don't bring it.
- And it wasn't elevated. - I wanted a bigger clock!
I said clock.
Oh, OK.
And I want to know that she's more than her nose noise.
Alan, do you play any of your body parts?
I play my...
..pork oboe.
Cos I live alone.
LAUGHTER
Up next, Pasty.
On the Brit Gala, the Psycho shower curtain,
it was all falling apart,
and then she kind of buckled under the questions.
Then tonight, on the runway, the point was,
you were almost there but you didn't quite reach the finish line.
- Eden Project - where's the tropical? Where's the palm trees? - Yeah, yeah.
She ended up looking like a garden centre.
Do you know what I mean? Have fun with it.
She missed a lot of opportunities there.
All right, let's move on to - ooh! - Tayris.
On the pink carpet,
she kept stepping on Jane in the interview,
and I didn't like that.
I think we saw two sides to Tayris. When she stopped and she posed,
she was regal. She was sensual.
Tonight on the runway, when she told the story about the pufferfish,
I actually enjoyed it.
- To me, it didn't speak pufferfish. - Yes. - Do you know what I mean?
I do love that accent that Tayris has, but
I didn't get a sense of who Tayris is.
All right, let's move on to our tops,
starting with Catrin Feelings.
I'm going to say it for both her outfits -
they weren't my favourite, but everything
about her just felt right at the Brit Gala.
There's a word that my nan used to call people like that, comely,
and it means, like, amiable and full of heart and warmth,
and that's what you get.
I think it's, like, her likeability that is capital letters Welsh.
Outlandish and beautiful.
Well, Catrin really understood what was needed.
She rolled with the questions.
Paige Three.
What the hell are you going to do as drag from Surrey Hills?
Well, she showed us. She's going to be fierce,
she really wants to be seen,
but she fights so hard to be fierce. It's all right to be goofy.
And I feel once she defrosts a bit,
I think we'll have the full package.
- I loved that look so much. - She knew she looked good, too.
- Yeah, she did. - A real contender, that Paige Three.
All right. Up next, Elle Vosque.
I was there, hook, line and sinker. She's so charming.
Well, her dress at the gala was a show stealer.
When Plane Jane said to her, "You look like
"you've been vomited out by the '80s,"
she held her ground and she gave as good as she got.
I got to know who she is and I love it.
Then tonight, on the runway, she chose the Titanic Museum.
Who dresses as a museum and makes it work?
I'm surprised there wasn't a gift shop round the back.
- Yeah! - Maybe there was!
I would happily pay admittance.
LAUGHTER
I love the way she handles herself. Really got to know
who she is on the pink carpet and on the runway tonight.
- Yep. - All right. Silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls.
Welcome back, queens. I've made some decisions.
Paige Three...
..there's gold in them there Surrey Hills.
You are safe.
Shit! So close!
You may join the other girls.
- Thank you so much. Good luck, girls. - Well done, Paige.
Well done, Paige.
Elle Vosque...
..at the Brit Gala, you were a Titanic success.
Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge...
CHEERING
..and the recipient of a coveted RuPeter badge.
Woohoo!
# Ru Britannia! #
- Wear it with pride, eh? - I will, aye.
Oh, my God!
You may join the other girls.
Thanks so much, guys.
I am the winner of week one.
MIMICS AN EXPLOSION
Well done, babe.
None of these queens knew who I was yesterday, but they all do now.
That means, Catrin Feelings, you are safe.
- You may join the other girls. - Thank you very much.
Tayris Mongardi...
..you are safe.
- You may join the other girls. - Thank you.
Well done.
That means Nyongbella...
..Pasty...
..I'm sorry, my dears, but you are up for elimination.
Right now, I'm just feeling so disappointed in myself.
I am ready to fight, I'm ready to give it my all,
like, I have to be here.
Two queens stand before me.
I've consulted with the judges, but the final decision is mine to make.
Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me...
..and save yourself...
..from elimination!
The time has come...
..for you to lip sync...
..for...your...life.
I know that Nyongbella can turn it out,
but I am just going to have to bring everything I've got.
Pray for me.
Good luck!
And don't...fuck it up.
# It's OK to just admit That you're jealous of me

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Now, that was fierce.
Woo!
Queens, I've made my decision.
Nyongbella...
..Shantay, you stay.
Oh, my gosh! I've made it through!
I knew my journey was not right to end here.
So much more to prove.
I have so much more to show.
You may join the other girls.
- Well done, girl. - Well done, darling.
As elated as I am to be saved,
I am still praying that Pasty gets the lucky cow
because I do not want my sister to go home.
Pasty, it's milking time.
LAUGHTER
Milk away, baby.
Let's find out if your sisters voted you
the lucky cow and saved you from elimination.
I may have lost the lip sync, but there is definitely still
a fighting chance for this bloody lucky cow.
I just don't know who's got my back.
Hit it!
CHEERING AND MOOING
Woo!
Pasty, you are safe to slay another day.
No-one's going home!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! I'm the lucky cow!
I'm ready to moo-ve on to next week!
Condragulations, queens.
Now remember, if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
Can I get an amen in here?
- Amen! - All right.
Now, let the music play.
# To, to, to, to the moon
# To the moon, to the moon Come on and take me away
# To, to, to, to the moon. #
Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race UK... This is your chance to make
an original fashion statement using iconic leftovers
from past seasons of Drag Race UK.
I cannot tell you how much I love this.
I can see that your knees are at different levels.
When you've got an arse like that, you can have wonky knees, it's fine.
- That's just my opinion. - OK.
The tension could be cut with a knife.
I just don't know how to act now.
Buckle down,
because you cannot make a sweater out of tears.
# To, to, to, to the moon
# To the moon To the moon
# Come on and take me away
# To, to, to, to the moon
# To the moon, to the moon Come on and take me away
# To, to, to, to the moon
# To the moon
Come on and take me away
# To, to, to, to the moon. #
