RuPaul's Drag Race (2009) s09e06 Episode Script
Snatch Game
1 - Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race - You'll be starring in "Kardashian: The Musical.
" [cheers and screams.]
- Playing the part of Khloe, Nina Bo'nina Brown.
- Really, bitch? - I landed wrong and my knee just popped.
Now it's hurting, so I have to use crutches.
- I'm Kim and I'm the bombshell Banging booty you know well And I break the internet every other day.
- Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
- When it's a lip sync number, you kind of have to know the words.
- Farrah Moan.
- It was just very underwhelming.
- Shea Coulee.
- You stole the entire show.
- Shea Coulee, you're the winner of this week's challenge.
Eureka, please step forward.
We've been in touch with the doctor.
I cannot allow you to continue in the competition.
- [sobs.]
- You have an open invitation to return next season.
But for now, sashay away.
- Oh, that was something.
- Eureka, Eureka, honey.
- "Well, shit, Biggie is out, "but this is not the last of me.
Love, Eureka.
" - Eureka's gone, and I'm gonna miss her so much.
She was instantly my best friend since day one.
I am broke.
- May I just say congrats to our winner, Miss Shea Coulee.
-Yes.
-Yeah.
- Shea.
- Shea nailed Black Chyna.
But the judges loved my Kris Jenner.
Had I nailed my runway harder, I would have been the winner.
- Watching Eureka go just reminds us that none of us are safe.
-Uh-huh.
-That's so true.
- My ankle was hurting, but it magically feels better.
[all laugh.]
- Nina, do you really want to be here? - Ooh! - Because it feels like you don't.
- How? - Every week, when you're getting ready in the mirror, when we're at rehearsals, you're just like, I'm over it and I don't want to do this.
-Whoo.
-First of all, I'm getting ready over there.
You're over there, so you're not watching me in the mirror.
- I'm not convinced that Nina wants to be here.
She has this big conspiracy that everyone wants to see her fail, and I'm so tired of it.
You didn't even-- - Hold on, hold on.
La, la, la, la.
You don't know.
- I'm not trying to come for you-- - It feels like it.
Wait, bitch.
If I'm down, I'm down on myself.
- I know that though Nina struggles sometimes with her confidence, she does want to be here.
- I just want you to believe in yourself as much as RuPaul believes in you.
- Right, and put it on the line.
Right.
- Because when I was looking at her looking into your eyes, I wish that she had looked at me in my eyes the way that she had looked at you in yours, you know.
- I apologize, 'cause I know right now you're kind of just down on what happened.
So I got black real quick.
[all laugh.]
- Shea's being a really good friend to Nina right now, but Nina absolutely needs an attitude adjustment.
In fact, it's time to trim the fat: Nina, for being negative, Farrah for not being able to stick out from the bunch, and Cynthia for not being able to do anything except Cynthia.
If you don't deliver, you should go home.
[car engine starts.]
- The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race receives a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000.
With extra special guest judges Candis Cayne and Denis O'Hare.
- RuPaul's Drag Race - May the best woman, best woman win -[sighs.]
-Come on, it's a new day.
-Aah! -Ooh! - It's a brand-new day, so that means there's a brand-new challenge.
And everyone is excited, especially me.
I said X-specially.
That is so Brooklyn.
That is so, like, first grade overbite realness.
[laughs.]
- Hello, hello, hello.
[cheering.]
Hi, ladies.
- Whoo! - Ladies, the time has come to separate the basic bitches from the fierce-ass queens.
[all laugh.]
- Yes.
- Because, honey, for this week's maxi challenge, we gonna be playing some "Snatch Game" up in here.
[cheering.]
#SnatchGame -Whoo! -I'm excited.
I've been waiting for this since last season.
Ha-ha! Finally! - Imitate a celebrity and make us laugh out loud or else.
- Let's do it.
- What you gonna do, Trinity? - Amanda Lepore.
-Aah! -Aah! - Shea? - The face, the body, Naomi Campbell.
-Aha! -Oh! - What are you doing for "Snatch Game?" - NeNe Leakes.
- Yes.
- She's over everything, and she has this really bitter face, you know.
Mmm.
- That's like completely opposite of you, though.
- I know.
That'll be the challenge.
Impersonations aren't something that I've ever tried to do, but last week, I was able to take Britney Spears and turn it into something great.
So if I can do that with my NeNe Leakes, then it's all good.
- Hello, she-lebrities.
-Hey! -Hey! - I'm seeing stars [all laugh.]
Nina Bo'nina Brown Nelson Riley.
- Hey, Rrrru.
How you doing, baby? - How are you doing? - I am doing a lot better now.
- Because, listen, child, you know, I know from where you come.
It's an ongoing struggle where you have to shut up that voice.
- That voice, yeah.
It's so easy to attach onto the negative.
I don't know why.
And the people are starting to think that I'm playing this victim thing, but, no, it's real.
-It's not an act.
-That's right.
- And the only person who will lose at it is you.
But you're talented.
All of the things you come up with, that's some real shit.
That's what got you here.
- Right.
I have so much for respect for RuPaul 'cause I really do not know what to do with my life.
I'm 34 years old, I'm still at home, and he believes in me.
So I do not want to make that man not proud of me.
- So who are you doing? - [deep voice.]
I am Jasmine Masters and I got something to say.
- Oh, oh, that's brilliant.
That's hilarious.
- Do you buy it or you rent it? - I'm rent to own.
- Okay, girl.
- She's funny.
I love Jasmine Masters.
You better bring it, because we don't want to see your dark nemesis come and tapping you on the shoulder and irk you in the side, okay? All right.
See you out there.
Hi, Sasha.
- Hi, RuPaul.
-I see a top hat.
-Mm-hmm.
-A men's jacket.
-Mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna go with Marlene Dietrich? -You got it on the nose.
-Oh, really? Now, Germans aren't really known for being funny.
How are you gonna make Marlene Dietrich funny? - Honestly, I don't think I'm known for being very funny.
- What were your other choices? - I had considered Judith Butler, the third wave feminist philosopher.
- Can you do a little bit of Judith Butler right now for me? - Sure, let's do it.
- Now, Judith Butler, should I have the meatloaf or the hot dog at the diner down the street? - I'm understanding that in this example, hot dog actually stands in as a kind of social construct, a metaphor, if you will, for the idea of a man sort of center of his phallic primacy.
- I'm glad you're doing Marlene Dietrich.
- [laughs.]
I'm a very serious and intense person.
But I do crack jokes in my own way.
- Can't wait to see you out there.
- So I'm hoping I can tap into that charm.
- Coming up Mama, it's come true! - Damn, girl.
[RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- It's time for a "Snatch Game.
" You have to be funny, you have to be quick on your feet, and you have to make Ru laugh.
- Well, Alexis Michelle.
- Hi, RuPaul.
- Now, okay, I'm gonna guess.
Is it Joyce DeWitt? - It's not Joyce DeWitt.
It's Liza! [laughs.]
-Finally.
-Finally.
- Mama, it's come true! [both laugh.]
So how are you gonna make this Liza come to life? Because a lot of people do Liza.
-Yes.
-A lot of eyes will be on you to do all the right moves.
- She's one of my biggest drag inspirations, so I want this to be done with respect.
This is a loving tribute.
- Well, that's all well and nice, but, you know, you got to make her funny.
- Yes.
I have to make sure that I am bringing it hard.
I have to let them see [whispers.]
that I'm a star.
- Well, Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
I see a tank top and a brown lace front.
Are you doing Sofia Vergara? - Yes! - That's a great character for you.
- Thank you.
I've been studying Sofia Vergara for almost two years.
I think it's a good choice because we have accent.
I'm gonna slay her.
- Can you give me just a touch of Sofia Vergara? - [speaking Spanish.]
Why you ask me that question right now? I need more fornido.
Do you have fornido? I can't give you all this count right now.
- Okay, so when are you going to start doing Sofia? - Oh.
- Ooh.
Damn, girl.
- I think it's going to be interesting to watch you make her come to life.
- Thank you.
Thank you, Mama RuPaul.
- All right, bye, Cucu.
All right, ladies, gather round.
Now, in a few moments, you'll be shooting "Snatch Game.
" And tomorrow on the runway, the category is Night of 1,000 Madonnas, Part Deux.
[cheers and applause.]
- Whoo! We get to actually redo the Madonna runway that was an epic fail last season.
Sorry, ladies.
- One word of advice.
Kimono she better don't.
[laughter and applause.]
- Thank you, Mama RuPaul.
- Welcome to "Snatch Game.
" Let's meet our contestants.
He once got a standing O from Elaine Stritch.
It's Denis O'Hare.
Our next contestant is allergic to mustard.
Keep that hot dog away from my face.
Say hello to Candis Cayne.
Are you ready to snatch the stars? -Yes.
-Let's go.
- Good.
Let's give a big game show welcome to downtown superstar Amanda Lepore.
- Hi, everyone.
- Oh, my goodness.
You are such a gorgeous international vixen.
How do you do it? - These lips have secrets.
- I bet they do.
Next up, the legendary Marlene Dietrich is here.
- Thank you so much for having me, RuPaul, on your Drag Race.
I see you're also wearing a suit.
-I'm wearing a suit.
-You know, when I wear a suit, people say, Marlene, are you a lesbian? And I look at them and I say, yes.
[laughing.]
- All right.
We've got some Drag Race alumni here.
Alyssa Edwards is here.
-For your consideration -Uh-huh.
- My name is Alyssa Edwards and this is "Snatch Game.
" - Up next, pop the corn and feed the children.
It's Jasmine Masters, another alumni.
-[deep voice.]
Hey, bitch.
-[laughs.]
What brings you back to Drag Race? -I got something to say.
-I bet you do.
Next up, Internet superstar Gigi Gorgeous is here.
-Hi, Ru.
-Hi, doll.
You look fantastic.
Hey, I could really use a makeup tip right about now.
- You know what I say.
You can never wear too much highlighter.
- Ooh, yes.
Ring dem bells.
It's Liza Minnelli or is it Lisa Manuli? - No, Ru, it's Liza with a Z.
It has a Z.
- Liza with a Z.
- With a Z! -Yes, Liza with a Z.
-Yes, yeah.
- All right.
Up next, we've got Atlanta's juiciest peach, NeNe Leakes is here.
- Hi, Ru.
- How are you and Kenya doing? - Ru, mm, that bitch-- - Uh-oh.
- If her weave was on any tighter - What would happen? Would her head pop off? - Her head would explode, bitch.
- Oh, bloop.
- Bloop! - Okay.
Next up, she was Miss Universe for just about a minute.
Say hello to Miss Colombia.
Oh, I didn't mean to-- did I--what? - Is that Steve Harvey?! - No, no, I'm not Steve Harvey.
No, no, no, darling.
It's RuPaul.
I know.
We just all look alike.
- Aah! - Up next, supermodel of the world Naomi Campbell is up in the house.
You don't look a day over 16.
- And I don't taste a day over 15.
-[laughs.]
-Yes.
- All right.
From "Modern Family," Sofia Vergara.
- Hola.
How you doin', RuPaul? - How is your husband, Joe Mangananganan? - You know what, RuPaul? You don't have to worry about mention that last name, because I always have problem.
The only thing is, like, when we have a little bit of interaction or maybe probably sex - Yeah.
- We don't have to talk.
It's just only body language.
- Body language, darling, yes.
- And let me tell you something.
These too big, beautiful Colombian surgical raisins is making happy and hoo all the entire night trying to look for another children.
- Well, you know, she's smiling, so I know she just told a joke.
All right.
Who's ready to play "Snatch Game?" - You better make Mama Ru laugh, girl, 'cause if she's not, you might be sashaying away.
- Coming up - If it's not on BET, I don't know what it is.
- I never win anything! [all laugh.]
[RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- Welcome back to "Snatch Game.
" Okay, here we go.
First question is for Denis O'Hare.
The new "American Horror Story" is going to be the scariest one yet.
It takes place in Lady Bunny's blank.
All right, pens down.
Okay, Denis O'Hare.
- It takes place in her wig.
- In Lady Bunny's wig.
That's a good answer.
Let's go to the stars and see if you get any matches, okay? - Oh, I feel good.
- Liza Minnelli.
- I said Lady Bunny's palace.
- Her palace? - Because there's nothing like playing the Palace.
[all laugh.]
Mama played the Palace and I sat right in the fourth row.
-Wow.
-She sang right to me.
And to all the other homosexuals.
[all laugh.]
- All right, let's move on down to superstar Alyssa Edwards.
What say you? - I wrote snatch.
- In her snatch.
Not a match for Denis.
- Did I lose the Q&A portion? - No, you didn't.
[laughs.]
All right, Jasmine Masters.
The new "American Horror Story" is going to be the scariest one yet.
It all takes place in Lady Bunny's - American who? If it's not on BET, I don't know what it is.
[all laugh.]
- So if it's not on BET, you don't watch it? - Hell to the no.
- Oh.
[laughs.]
Amanda Lepore, the new "American Horror Story" is going to be the scariest one yet.
It all takes place in Lady Bunny's - Plastic surgery office.
She clearly isn't going to mine.
- Oh, my God.
Can you move your face at all? - I'm moving it right now.
- [laughs.]
- So let's move on down to Naomi Campbell.
I see you have a cell phone right there.
- When I got here to set, your crew confiscated my phone, but luckily, my good friend back here had a little prepaid Cricket phone that she let me borrow for the afternoon.
Chris Rock, thank you so much for letting me borrow your phone.
- Oh, dang! - I thought about Tyra Bank's modeling career, so I just said the toilet.
- [laughs.]
All right.
Gigi Gorgeous, what do you have? - I think that it's gonna be her fridge.
I highly doubt that she eats organic, gluten-free food, and I would just be terrified to open up the refrigerator, Ru.
- It's not a match.
Now, Candis, you're up next.
- Okay, hit it.
- I just found out my cat is gay.
Last night, he didn't cough up a fur ball.
He coughed up a blank.
Pens down, everybody.
Okay, Candis Cayne.
- My cat is so gay, a purse fell out his mouth.
- That is one gay pussycat.
Okay.
Marlene Dietrich? - As a point of principle, I make sure that every homosexual pussy that I meet receives a Marlene signed photograph.
- Not a match, Candis, I'm afraid.
- I'd love to give Fraulein Candis Cayne a signed photograph.
I promise that Teutonic bisexuals make the most forceful and unforgettable lovers.
[all laugh.]
- All right.
Let's move on down to Ms.
Colombia-- Well, actually, Ms.
Colombia, did you write an answer? - I can never win anything.
- [laughs.]
-[cries.]
-She's not gonna get very far in this business like that, Ru.
[all laugh.]
- Gigi Gorgeous, what did you write down, girl? - He coughed up an Anastasia Beverly Hills lip gloss.
- Oh, okay.
Well, not a match, unfortunately.
Jasmine Masters.
Jasmine, what season were you on Drag Race? - Does it matter? Did I win? - [laughs.]
All right, Jasmine.
Do you have a match for Candis? - I don't own a cat.
They sense evil.
- Oh.
[laughs.]
All right, this is a question for Denis O'Hare.
Snapchat filters are getting so inventive.
Now instead of swapping faces, you can swap blank.
- You can swap wives.
- Swap wives! Sofia Vergara, what say you? - You know what? I think it's related to what are you looking to swap.
So maybe I said titties.
They help me to be successful in this entertainment business.
It's part of the why, you know.
- Girl, where are the jokes? Where are the jokes? Sofia is funny.
[whispers.]
Where are the jokes? - Let's go to Marlene Dietrich.
- Well, I found this question kind of unfair because, as you know, I rarely know these new things.
I rarely leave my house.
- No.
- And I died many decades ago.
- You did.
This is going somewhere, I can tell, yeah.
- So I wrote (speaking German) and sauerkraut.
- That's not a match, but a very, very good answer and a long way to go for an answer.
I love it.
All right, let's rewind down to the ATL.
NeNe Leakes is in the house.
Instead of swapping faces, you can swap what? - If I was gonna do an app or some kind of filter on Snapchat, I would definitely do one for poor people like Jasmine Masters.
Now, if Jasmine Masters were gonna have a filter on her discontinued Cricket phone, she would probably have to swap credit scores first.
- Credit scores.
- Bloop.
- Not a match, Denis.
You're looking for wives.
- I've known a couple of husbands.
- Yeah.
All right, Liza with a Z.
- Ru, I said that you can swap jazz hands.
- Can you show us your jazz hands? [all laugh.]
All right, Ms.
Colombia, what do you have? - In my country, we are known for beautiful woman and I think also cocaina.
- Cocaine, cocaina.
- I think now I understand, hermana, why you lost the pageant.
This is not the shadow I know, you know, because I love her so much, ay dios mio! - Oh Cynthia.
Girl, I'm sure Eureka is pissed somewhere right now.
She gonna be, like, I went home for this? - Well, that's our show.
And the winner is all the celebrities that weren't impersonated tonight.
Good night, everybody.
[laughs.]
- Coming up - Category is Night of 1,000 Madonnas.
Uh-oh.
- How does that happen? [RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- It is elimination day, and we all have to get ready for the Night of 1,000 Madonnas, the redemption.
- I don't know about you, but personally, I like to have a big separation between Trinity and Ryan.
And it's not necessarily like, oh, I don't want to be feminine or any-- 'cause I'm a feminine guy.
- I just don't understand society's obsession with trying to label something.
I just feel like gender's over.
It's so fluid now.
It was actually through my drag that I realized my trans-ness.
- Oh, wow.
So you identify as trans, Pepper? - I am a--I'm trans.
I'm a transwoman.
There's a lot of people who think that drag queens are not trans and shouldn't be.
And there's a lot of trans people who think that drag queens have no place in the trans community.
I wanted to really get to know the girls before I came out to them.
I was afraid.
It took me a long time to really sort out gender.
And at a really early age, I was able to latch on to drag, and that was how I was able to express my femininity.
- Yeah.
- But I kind of evolved to realize that all the drag things that I wanted to do, it always led back to the realization that I'm a transwoman.
- That is courageous.
- Yes, Pepper.
- Thank you so much for saying that.
- I love that so much.
Peppermint is giving us her true, authentic self, and it's just wonderful and I love her and I look up to her so much.
- I just want to say thank you so much for the support and the love and the affection that you guys have shown me just in general.
And I just really want to thank you for that.
- Oh - We love you.
- Come on, Pepper.
- It feels so good to be fully accepted.
I'm so happy right now.
I'm so happy.
I'm so happy right now [chuckles.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- Cover girl, put the bass in your walk Head to toe, let your whole body talk - And what? - Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
My favorite Madonna impersonator, Michelle Visage.
- I'm looking for Susan.
Have you seen her? - I'm desperately seeking her.
- Me, too.
- Style superstar Carson Kressley.
- Hello.
- Your Ross Mathews impersonation is spot on.
- I crawled real deep inside Ross Mathews to play this.
[both laugh.]
- "American Horror Story's" Denis O'Hare.
Now, when you played Liz Taylor, did you tuck? -Tucking is barbaric.
-Oh.
No, darling.
Untucking is barbaric.
[all laugh.]
And the scintillating Candis Cayne.
Now, what star would you do for "Snatch Game?" - I have no idea.
- Let me guess, Judge Judy? - Yes.
[all laugh.]
- This week, we challenged our queens to snatch our attention and tonight, category is, Night of 1,000 Madonnas, the She-quel.
Gentlemen, start your engines.
And may the best woman win.
Category is Aja, last night, she dreamt of San Pedro or Del Taco, if I'm not mistaken.
- I'm just showing off my little ruffles.
I feel like I should've came out with some castanets.
[laughs.]
- La is La Boniba.
Alexis Michelle as Breathless Mahoney.
More like breathless my hand.
[all laugh.]
- I love my shape.
I love the sequin.
I'm breathless.
- Has anyone seen Dick? -Who? -Tracy.
- Oh, my bottom hurts just thinking about it.
Peppermint.
Experience has made her a rich bitch.
- Trying to buy our votes.
- This is probably my favorite Madonna video.
This gorgeous woman being surrounded by all these guys.
It's my dream.
- Talk to me, Harry Winston.
Shea Coulee, Material Girl.
Déjà vu.
- I think she stole that look.
- This is the second wife, the one that gets all the money and the diamonds and the furs.
You know, all the good goods.
- Drag queens really do prefer blondes.
Trinity Taylor.
-Ooh.
-Givenchy better do.
[Michelle laughs.]
- My Madonna is the only Madonna.
I feel like a very strong, powerful bitch right now.
- It's a pantsuit without the pants.
- Who needs pants when you have all this ass? Nina Bo'nina Brown Louise Ciccone.
- I think I've met this one before.
-Who wore it better? -Hmm, we'll find out.
- Right now, I'm just trying to serve a black version of Madonna, even though they'd just seen this outfit.
- Don't get mad, get plaid.
Sasha Velour.
- Oh.
- Her name is Dita and she will be your mistress.
- Nice grill.
- This is very much the type of Madonna look that inspired me and my style.
And I'm really excited to show that I can walk like a fashion model.
- Put your hands all over her body.
[all laugh.]
Farrah Moan, Cleopatra.
- Wow.
- My Madonna is probably the best one here.
Every detail is on point.
- Well, this Super Bowl look is a homerun.
[all laugh.]
- Aren't you mixing metaphors? - Do you mean a touchdown? - Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
-Oh! -Uh-oh.
- [laughs.]
- Ole.
- Mata-adorable.
- Nobody's wearing my look? Whoo! [speaking Spanish.]
- I think she lost her bull.
- Valentina.
-Oh.
-Hmm.
- You know, I hate censorship.
- Me, too.
- When Madonna came out with this look, it was so controversial.
And showing this much of my body is controversial, too.
- I'll walk out the way I walked in.
Naked.
[all laugh.]
- Coming up -Slam dunk.
-Brava.
- Uh, no, not so good.
[RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- Ladies with an attitude, I've made some decisions.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Trinity Taylor.
Aja.
Valentina.
Shea Coulee.
Ladies, this week, you did not cause a commotion.
You're safe.
You may leave the stage.
It's time for the judges critiques, starting with Alexis Michelle.
- You do such a good Liza, she better watch her back.
- Even the way your breathed in after you spoke was Liza.
- [inhales.]
- That's what I'm talking about.
- And that dress is painted on.
You look gorgeous.
- I feel momentum with you.
Keep it up.
- Next up, Peppermint.
- This is one of my favorite Madonna looks, and I think you look beautiful.
- But three weeks in a row we've had pink, so I am looking forward to another color.
Okay, so NeNe Leakes.
She is larger than life, but I felt like you were just being a regular girl.
- Credit scores.
- She serves attitude.
She serves one-liners.
You could have gone anywhere with her.
But it just doesn't cross the finish line.
- Sasha Velour.
- Erotica, slam dunk.
I'm loving seeing this other side of you.
- I love the big circle nipples.
I can't stop looking at them.
I don't know what that means.
And in "Snatch Game," for me, it was like Jessica Lange in "Freakshow" meets "Touch of Evil.
" I thought it was just extraordinary.
Brava.
- Farrah Moan.
- This look is so gorgeous, and you did such a great job with it.
- I love Gigi.
I know Gigi.
And I feel like you could have pushed it, made it more comedic.
- I thought maybe you were gonna throw a bunch of makeup products over your shoulder.
I think you only did that once.
- For some reason, I thought there was gonna be more questions and I'd have opportunities to do more.
- See, that's what young people think.
You see, when you get to be my age, you know, you get one chance, sonny, and you take it.
Up next, Nina Bo'nina Brown Bader Ginsberg.
[all laugh.]
- I so would have loved this if I didn't see Trinity's version of this look.
You get it.
It's just a heightened -Yeah, it was more tailored.
-Exactly.
- But I loved your Jasmine Masters.
The voice was spot on.
- Hell to the no.
- You played by your own rules.
You didn't answer the questions the way they were meant to be answered.
You answered them the way you wanted to answer them.
I thought that was really, really cool.
- Thank you.
- Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
- Hola! - I love good boy-drag-drag-girl.
- Thank you.
- But something's going on with your makeup, mija.
I see too much brown going on.
It's almost a mustache.
- I love the choice of Sofia Vergara for you, but I didn't understand what was going on.
And it wasn't the accent.
- I literally don't think there was one joke in that.
And you had a regular dress on.
Sofia Vergara has tits that are bigger than mine.
- Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
While you take a holiday, the judges and I will deliberate.
Now, just between us material squirrels, what do you think? Let's start with Alexis Michelle.
- Last week was the mall.
This week was couture.
- And in "Snatch Game," she was witty, but in character witty.
She wasn't making fun of the character.
She was being the character.
For me, it's a tossup between her and Marlene Dietrich.
- But her Liza was the best characterization and the thing that I'll remember about this "Snatch Game" more than anything else.
- Peppermint.
- Tonight on the runway, I felt like it was, like, more Marilyn than it was Madonna.
And her character in the "Snatch Game" for me was one of the worst.
If she didn't say bloop, I wouldn't have known it was NeNe Leakes.
- In fairness, I said bloop first, and then she said it.
- But it happens to people when they're acting sometimes.
They get in their head.
- But I'm not getting what I know she can deliver.
- Sasha Velour.
- Tonight on the runway was a 10 for me.
- And even with the whip, it made a link to Marlene Dietrich.
- Yes, that's right.
- It is not easy to deliver Marlene Dietrich and have it be interesting to this time and place.
- What I love about Sasha is she knows her lane and she never lets me down.
Sasha's got me.
- Farrah Moan.
- I just feel like she knew who Gigi was, but didn't know how to get anything more than "hi" out of her.
- I think she thought that by choosing Gigi Gorgeous, it would gain her points in the sort of underground cool factor, which it does.
- Yes.
- But it didn't give her enough options as a player.
- Isn't it ironic, the cool ones ended up being Marlene Dietrich and Liza Minnelli, and the kids don't even know.
-Right.
-But I thought her Madonna look was maybe the most intricate of everybody's.
- Nina Bo'nina Brown.
- We've been waiting for her to stop with the boo-hooing and step it up, and I think as Jasmine Masters, it was a big step forward for Nina Bo'nina.
- Denis, a little backstory for you and Candis.
Nina comes from the Atlanta drag scene, who have never really accepted her.
So when she got here, she felt some kind of a conspiracy theory against her.
- I think it's kind of amazing in a meta theme that she chose Jasmine Masters to express her discontent.
-Yes.
-Because Jasmine Masters is the poster child for discontent.
-[laughs.]
-But that being said, I saw a very confident, fully realized character.
- But on the runway, uh, no, not so good.
- Uh-oh.
- One thing I will say as a sidebar, I don't like when these queens do other queens.
- Yeah.
- Like, I feel like it's an easy way to go.
- I'm with Michelle.
I feel like when you're doing "Snatch Game," it's somebody that's beyond your knowledge.
- Okay.
We've come to that portion in our program where we have to talk about the elephant in the room.
- Oh, I'm on a diet.
[all laugh.]
- Not you.
Cynthia Lee Fontaine as Sofia Vergara.
- It was this mess, this just nonsensical mess.
- And she's got a Spanish accent and it didn't even work.
How does that happen? - Perhaps she's too close to the character.
If she went somewhere very, very different, she might have had a better effect.
- Think of Yara Sofia as Amy Winehouse.
-Yes.
-We all died.
- Exactly.
She should have played Maggie Smith.
[all laugh.]
- It's not good enough.
She got a second chance to come back.
She should be twice as good as the rest of the girls.
- All right, kids.
Silence.
Bring back my Madonna wannabes.
[RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Sasha Velour.
Your Marlene Dietrich was a ray of light.
Alexis Michelle.
Your Liza Minnelli left us breathless.
Alexis Michelle, con-drag-ulations.
You're the winner of this week's challenge.
You've won a dazzling $2,000 prize package from Sparkles rhinestones.
- Thank you so much.
[all laugh.]
- Sasha Velour, great job.
You're safe.
You may join the other girls.
Nina Bo'nina Brown, you're safe.
- [deep voice.]
Thank you.
[all laugh.]
- Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
The judges were not bullish on your Sofia Vergara.
I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
- I feel very confused because I wasn't expecting to be, like, second week in a row in the bottom.
- Peppermint, your NeNe was a no-no.
You needed better material, girl.
Farrah Moan.
Your Gigi was gorgeous, but your comic timing wasn't pretty.
Farrah Moan you're safe.
You may join the other girls.
Peppermint, I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
Two queens stand before me.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
The time has come [thunder.]
to lip sync [echoing.]
for your life.
- I'm about to do the thing that I know how to do the best.
Actually, I'm worried for Cynthia.
- Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
[music plays.]
- Hey, Mister D.
J.
Put a record on I want to dance with my baby And when the music starts I never want to stop It's gonna drive me crazy Music makes the people come together, yeah Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel [all laugh.]
- Come on, bitch! - Hey, Mister D.
J.
[all laugh.]
Hey, Mister D.
J.
Put a record on I want to dance with my baby And when the music starts I never want to stop It's gonna drive me crazy Music makes the people come together, yeah Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel -Whoo-whoo! -Yeah! [applause.]
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
Peppermint, shante, you stay.
[applause.]
Cynthia Lee Fontaine, I am so grateful we all had a chance for a second helping of cucu.
Now sashay away.
- Love you, mami.
Believe in yourself, okay? See you later, mis amores.
Cucu! - [laughs.]
- I'm not defeated, and I just appreciate that Mama RuPaul give me this opportunity back again.
There's going to be a lot of cucu in the future.
Cynthia Lee Fontaine forever.
- Con-drag-ulations, my queens.
Now, remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen up in here? -Amen! -Amen! - Now let the music play! - Hey, get it, girl It's your world - Hey Get it, get it, girl Whoa-oh-oh
" [cheers and screams.]
- Playing the part of Khloe, Nina Bo'nina Brown.
- Really, bitch? - I landed wrong and my knee just popped.
Now it's hurting, so I have to use crutches.
- I'm Kim and I'm the bombshell Banging booty you know well And I break the internet every other day.
- Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
- When it's a lip sync number, you kind of have to know the words.
- Farrah Moan.
- It was just very underwhelming.
- Shea Coulee.
- You stole the entire show.
- Shea Coulee, you're the winner of this week's challenge.
Eureka, please step forward.
We've been in touch with the doctor.
I cannot allow you to continue in the competition.
- [sobs.]
- You have an open invitation to return next season.
But for now, sashay away.
- Oh, that was something.
- Eureka, Eureka, honey.
- "Well, shit, Biggie is out, "but this is not the last of me.
Love, Eureka.
" - Eureka's gone, and I'm gonna miss her so much.
She was instantly my best friend since day one.
I am broke.
- May I just say congrats to our winner, Miss Shea Coulee.
-Yes.
-Yeah.
- Shea.
- Shea nailed Black Chyna.
But the judges loved my Kris Jenner.
Had I nailed my runway harder, I would have been the winner.
- Watching Eureka go just reminds us that none of us are safe.
-Uh-huh.
-That's so true.
- My ankle was hurting, but it magically feels better.
[all laugh.]
- Nina, do you really want to be here? - Ooh! - Because it feels like you don't.
- How? - Every week, when you're getting ready in the mirror, when we're at rehearsals, you're just like, I'm over it and I don't want to do this.
-Whoo.
-First of all, I'm getting ready over there.
You're over there, so you're not watching me in the mirror.
- I'm not convinced that Nina wants to be here.
She has this big conspiracy that everyone wants to see her fail, and I'm so tired of it.
You didn't even-- - Hold on, hold on.
La, la, la, la.
You don't know.
- I'm not trying to come for you-- - It feels like it.
Wait, bitch.
If I'm down, I'm down on myself.
- I know that though Nina struggles sometimes with her confidence, she does want to be here.
- I just want you to believe in yourself as much as RuPaul believes in you.
- Right, and put it on the line.
Right.
- Because when I was looking at her looking into your eyes, I wish that she had looked at me in my eyes the way that she had looked at you in yours, you know.
- I apologize, 'cause I know right now you're kind of just down on what happened.
So I got black real quick.
[all laugh.]
- Shea's being a really good friend to Nina right now, but Nina absolutely needs an attitude adjustment.
In fact, it's time to trim the fat: Nina, for being negative, Farrah for not being able to stick out from the bunch, and Cynthia for not being able to do anything except Cynthia.
If you don't deliver, you should go home.
[car engine starts.]
- The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race receives a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000.
With extra special guest judges Candis Cayne and Denis O'Hare.
- RuPaul's Drag Race - May the best woman, best woman win -[sighs.]
-Come on, it's a new day.
-Aah! -Ooh! - It's a brand-new day, so that means there's a brand-new challenge.
And everyone is excited, especially me.
I said X-specially.
That is so Brooklyn.
That is so, like, first grade overbite realness.
[laughs.]
- Hello, hello, hello.
[cheering.]
Hi, ladies.
- Whoo! - Ladies, the time has come to separate the basic bitches from the fierce-ass queens.
[all laugh.]
- Yes.
- Because, honey, for this week's maxi challenge, we gonna be playing some "Snatch Game" up in here.
[cheering.]
#SnatchGame -Whoo! -I'm excited.
I've been waiting for this since last season.
Ha-ha! Finally! - Imitate a celebrity and make us laugh out loud or else.
- Let's do it.
- What you gonna do, Trinity? - Amanda Lepore.
-Aah! -Aah! - Shea? - The face, the body, Naomi Campbell.
-Aha! -Oh! - What are you doing for "Snatch Game?" - NeNe Leakes.
- Yes.
- She's over everything, and she has this really bitter face, you know.
Mmm.
- That's like completely opposite of you, though.
- I know.
That'll be the challenge.
Impersonations aren't something that I've ever tried to do, but last week, I was able to take Britney Spears and turn it into something great.
So if I can do that with my NeNe Leakes, then it's all good.
- Hello, she-lebrities.
-Hey! -Hey! - I'm seeing stars [all laugh.]
Nina Bo'nina Brown Nelson Riley.
- Hey, Rrrru.
How you doing, baby? - How are you doing? - I am doing a lot better now.
- Because, listen, child, you know, I know from where you come.
It's an ongoing struggle where you have to shut up that voice.
- That voice, yeah.
It's so easy to attach onto the negative.
I don't know why.
And the people are starting to think that I'm playing this victim thing, but, no, it's real.
-It's not an act.
-That's right.
- And the only person who will lose at it is you.
But you're talented.
All of the things you come up with, that's some real shit.
That's what got you here.
- Right.
I have so much for respect for RuPaul 'cause I really do not know what to do with my life.
I'm 34 years old, I'm still at home, and he believes in me.
So I do not want to make that man not proud of me.
- So who are you doing? - [deep voice.]
I am Jasmine Masters and I got something to say.
- Oh, oh, that's brilliant.
That's hilarious.
- Do you buy it or you rent it? - I'm rent to own.
- Okay, girl.
- She's funny.
I love Jasmine Masters.
You better bring it, because we don't want to see your dark nemesis come and tapping you on the shoulder and irk you in the side, okay? All right.
See you out there.
Hi, Sasha.
- Hi, RuPaul.
-I see a top hat.
-Mm-hmm.
-A men's jacket.
-Mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna go with Marlene Dietrich? -You got it on the nose.
-Oh, really? Now, Germans aren't really known for being funny.
How are you gonna make Marlene Dietrich funny? - Honestly, I don't think I'm known for being very funny.
- What were your other choices? - I had considered Judith Butler, the third wave feminist philosopher.
- Can you do a little bit of Judith Butler right now for me? - Sure, let's do it.
- Now, Judith Butler, should I have the meatloaf or the hot dog at the diner down the street? - I'm understanding that in this example, hot dog actually stands in as a kind of social construct, a metaphor, if you will, for the idea of a man sort of center of his phallic primacy.
- I'm glad you're doing Marlene Dietrich.
- [laughs.]
I'm a very serious and intense person.
But I do crack jokes in my own way.
- Can't wait to see you out there.
- So I'm hoping I can tap into that charm.
- Coming up Mama, it's come true! - Damn, girl.
[RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- It's time for a "Snatch Game.
" You have to be funny, you have to be quick on your feet, and you have to make Ru laugh.
- Well, Alexis Michelle.
- Hi, RuPaul.
- Now, okay, I'm gonna guess.
Is it Joyce DeWitt? - It's not Joyce DeWitt.
It's Liza! [laughs.]
-Finally.
-Finally.
- Mama, it's come true! [both laugh.]
So how are you gonna make this Liza come to life? Because a lot of people do Liza.
-Yes.
-A lot of eyes will be on you to do all the right moves.
- She's one of my biggest drag inspirations, so I want this to be done with respect.
This is a loving tribute.
- Well, that's all well and nice, but, you know, you got to make her funny.
- Yes.
I have to make sure that I am bringing it hard.
I have to let them see [whispers.]
that I'm a star.
- Well, Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
I see a tank top and a brown lace front.
Are you doing Sofia Vergara? - Yes! - That's a great character for you.
- Thank you.
I've been studying Sofia Vergara for almost two years.
I think it's a good choice because we have accent.
I'm gonna slay her.
- Can you give me just a touch of Sofia Vergara? - [speaking Spanish.]
Why you ask me that question right now? I need more fornido.
Do you have fornido? I can't give you all this count right now.
- Okay, so when are you going to start doing Sofia? - Oh.
- Ooh.
Damn, girl.
- I think it's going to be interesting to watch you make her come to life.
- Thank you.
Thank you, Mama RuPaul.
- All right, bye, Cucu.
All right, ladies, gather round.
Now, in a few moments, you'll be shooting "Snatch Game.
" And tomorrow on the runway, the category is Night of 1,000 Madonnas, Part Deux.
[cheers and applause.]
- Whoo! We get to actually redo the Madonna runway that was an epic fail last season.
Sorry, ladies.
- One word of advice.
Kimono she better don't.
[laughter and applause.]
- Thank you, Mama RuPaul.
- Welcome to "Snatch Game.
" Let's meet our contestants.
He once got a standing O from Elaine Stritch.
It's Denis O'Hare.
Our next contestant is allergic to mustard.
Keep that hot dog away from my face.
Say hello to Candis Cayne.
Are you ready to snatch the stars? -Yes.
-Let's go.
- Good.
Let's give a big game show welcome to downtown superstar Amanda Lepore.
- Hi, everyone.
- Oh, my goodness.
You are such a gorgeous international vixen.
How do you do it? - These lips have secrets.
- I bet they do.
Next up, the legendary Marlene Dietrich is here.
- Thank you so much for having me, RuPaul, on your Drag Race.
I see you're also wearing a suit.
-I'm wearing a suit.
-You know, when I wear a suit, people say, Marlene, are you a lesbian? And I look at them and I say, yes.
[laughing.]
- All right.
We've got some Drag Race alumni here.
Alyssa Edwards is here.
-For your consideration -Uh-huh.
- My name is Alyssa Edwards and this is "Snatch Game.
" - Up next, pop the corn and feed the children.
It's Jasmine Masters, another alumni.
-[deep voice.]
Hey, bitch.
-[laughs.]
What brings you back to Drag Race? -I got something to say.
-I bet you do.
Next up, Internet superstar Gigi Gorgeous is here.
-Hi, Ru.
-Hi, doll.
You look fantastic.
Hey, I could really use a makeup tip right about now.
- You know what I say.
You can never wear too much highlighter.
- Ooh, yes.
Ring dem bells.
It's Liza Minnelli or is it Lisa Manuli? - No, Ru, it's Liza with a Z.
It has a Z.
- Liza with a Z.
- With a Z! -Yes, Liza with a Z.
-Yes, yeah.
- All right.
Up next, we've got Atlanta's juiciest peach, NeNe Leakes is here.
- Hi, Ru.
- How are you and Kenya doing? - Ru, mm, that bitch-- - Uh-oh.
- If her weave was on any tighter - What would happen? Would her head pop off? - Her head would explode, bitch.
- Oh, bloop.
- Bloop! - Okay.
Next up, she was Miss Universe for just about a minute.
Say hello to Miss Colombia.
Oh, I didn't mean to-- did I--what? - Is that Steve Harvey?! - No, no, I'm not Steve Harvey.
No, no, no, darling.
It's RuPaul.
I know.
We just all look alike.
- Aah! - Up next, supermodel of the world Naomi Campbell is up in the house.
You don't look a day over 16.
- And I don't taste a day over 15.
-[laughs.]
-Yes.
- All right.
From "Modern Family," Sofia Vergara.
- Hola.
How you doin', RuPaul? - How is your husband, Joe Mangananganan? - You know what, RuPaul? You don't have to worry about mention that last name, because I always have problem.
The only thing is, like, when we have a little bit of interaction or maybe probably sex - Yeah.
- We don't have to talk.
It's just only body language.
- Body language, darling, yes.
- And let me tell you something.
These too big, beautiful Colombian surgical raisins is making happy and hoo all the entire night trying to look for another children.
- Well, you know, she's smiling, so I know she just told a joke.
All right.
Who's ready to play "Snatch Game?" - You better make Mama Ru laugh, girl, 'cause if she's not, you might be sashaying away.
- Coming up - If it's not on BET, I don't know what it is.
- I never win anything! [all laugh.]
[RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- Welcome back to "Snatch Game.
" Okay, here we go.
First question is for Denis O'Hare.
The new "American Horror Story" is going to be the scariest one yet.
It takes place in Lady Bunny's blank.
All right, pens down.
Okay, Denis O'Hare.
- It takes place in her wig.
- In Lady Bunny's wig.
That's a good answer.
Let's go to the stars and see if you get any matches, okay? - Oh, I feel good.
- Liza Minnelli.
- I said Lady Bunny's palace.
- Her palace? - Because there's nothing like playing the Palace.
[all laugh.]
Mama played the Palace and I sat right in the fourth row.
-Wow.
-She sang right to me.
And to all the other homosexuals.
[all laugh.]
- All right, let's move on down to superstar Alyssa Edwards.
What say you? - I wrote snatch.
- In her snatch.
Not a match for Denis.
- Did I lose the Q&A portion? - No, you didn't.
[laughs.]
All right, Jasmine Masters.
The new "American Horror Story" is going to be the scariest one yet.
It all takes place in Lady Bunny's - American who? If it's not on BET, I don't know what it is.
[all laugh.]
- So if it's not on BET, you don't watch it? - Hell to the no.
- Oh.
[laughs.]
Amanda Lepore, the new "American Horror Story" is going to be the scariest one yet.
It all takes place in Lady Bunny's - Plastic surgery office.
She clearly isn't going to mine.
- Oh, my God.
Can you move your face at all? - I'm moving it right now.
- [laughs.]
- So let's move on down to Naomi Campbell.
I see you have a cell phone right there.
- When I got here to set, your crew confiscated my phone, but luckily, my good friend back here had a little prepaid Cricket phone that she let me borrow for the afternoon.
Chris Rock, thank you so much for letting me borrow your phone.
- Oh, dang! - I thought about Tyra Bank's modeling career, so I just said the toilet.
- [laughs.]
All right.
Gigi Gorgeous, what do you have? - I think that it's gonna be her fridge.
I highly doubt that she eats organic, gluten-free food, and I would just be terrified to open up the refrigerator, Ru.
- It's not a match.
Now, Candis, you're up next.
- Okay, hit it.
- I just found out my cat is gay.
Last night, he didn't cough up a fur ball.
He coughed up a blank.
Pens down, everybody.
Okay, Candis Cayne.
- My cat is so gay, a purse fell out his mouth.
- That is one gay pussycat.
Okay.
Marlene Dietrich? - As a point of principle, I make sure that every homosexual pussy that I meet receives a Marlene signed photograph.
- Not a match, Candis, I'm afraid.
- I'd love to give Fraulein Candis Cayne a signed photograph.
I promise that Teutonic bisexuals make the most forceful and unforgettable lovers.
[all laugh.]
- All right.
Let's move on down to Ms.
Colombia-- Well, actually, Ms.
Colombia, did you write an answer? - I can never win anything.
- [laughs.]
-[cries.]
-She's not gonna get very far in this business like that, Ru.
[all laugh.]
- Gigi Gorgeous, what did you write down, girl? - He coughed up an Anastasia Beverly Hills lip gloss.
- Oh, okay.
Well, not a match, unfortunately.
Jasmine Masters.
Jasmine, what season were you on Drag Race? - Does it matter? Did I win? - [laughs.]
All right, Jasmine.
Do you have a match for Candis? - I don't own a cat.
They sense evil.
- Oh.
[laughs.]
All right, this is a question for Denis O'Hare.
Snapchat filters are getting so inventive.
Now instead of swapping faces, you can swap blank.
- You can swap wives.
- Swap wives! Sofia Vergara, what say you? - You know what? I think it's related to what are you looking to swap.
So maybe I said titties.
They help me to be successful in this entertainment business.
It's part of the why, you know.
- Girl, where are the jokes? Where are the jokes? Sofia is funny.
[whispers.]
Where are the jokes? - Let's go to Marlene Dietrich.
- Well, I found this question kind of unfair because, as you know, I rarely know these new things.
I rarely leave my house.
- No.
- And I died many decades ago.
- You did.
This is going somewhere, I can tell, yeah.
- So I wrote (speaking German) and sauerkraut.
- That's not a match, but a very, very good answer and a long way to go for an answer.
I love it.
All right, let's rewind down to the ATL.
NeNe Leakes is in the house.
Instead of swapping faces, you can swap what? - If I was gonna do an app or some kind of filter on Snapchat, I would definitely do one for poor people like Jasmine Masters.
Now, if Jasmine Masters were gonna have a filter on her discontinued Cricket phone, she would probably have to swap credit scores first.
- Credit scores.
- Bloop.
- Not a match, Denis.
You're looking for wives.
- I've known a couple of husbands.
- Yeah.
All right, Liza with a Z.
- Ru, I said that you can swap jazz hands.
- Can you show us your jazz hands? [all laugh.]
All right, Ms.
Colombia, what do you have? - In my country, we are known for beautiful woman and I think also cocaina.
- Cocaine, cocaina.
- I think now I understand, hermana, why you lost the pageant.
This is not the shadow I know, you know, because I love her so much, ay dios mio! - Oh Cynthia.
Girl, I'm sure Eureka is pissed somewhere right now.
She gonna be, like, I went home for this? - Well, that's our show.
And the winner is all the celebrities that weren't impersonated tonight.
Good night, everybody.
[laughs.]
- Coming up - Category is Night of 1,000 Madonnas.
Uh-oh.
- How does that happen? [RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- It is elimination day, and we all have to get ready for the Night of 1,000 Madonnas, the redemption.
- I don't know about you, but personally, I like to have a big separation between Trinity and Ryan.
And it's not necessarily like, oh, I don't want to be feminine or any-- 'cause I'm a feminine guy.
- I just don't understand society's obsession with trying to label something.
I just feel like gender's over.
It's so fluid now.
It was actually through my drag that I realized my trans-ness.
- Oh, wow.
So you identify as trans, Pepper? - I am a--I'm trans.
I'm a transwoman.
There's a lot of people who think that drag queens are not trans and shouldn't be.
And there's a lot of trans people who think that drag queens have no place in the trans community.
I wanted to really get to know the girls before I came out to them.
I was afraid.
It took me a long time to really sort out gender.
And at a really early age, I was able to latch on to drag, and that was how I was able to express my femininity.
- Yeah.
- But I kind of evolved to realize that all the drag things that I wanted to do, it always led back to the realization that I'm a transwoman.
- That is courageous.
- Yes, Pepper.
- Thank you so much for saying that.
- I love that so much.
Peppermint is giving us her true, authentic self, and it's just wonderful and I love her and I look up to her so much.
- I just want to say thank you so much for the support and the love and the affection that you guys have shown me just in general.
And I just really want to thank you for that.
- Oh - We love you.
- Come on, Pepper.
- It feels so good to be fully accepted.
I'm so happy right now.
I'm so happy.
I'm so happy right now [chuckles.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- Cover girl, put the bass in your walk Head to toe, let your whole body talk - And what? - Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
My favorite Madonna impersonator, Michelle Visage.
- I'm looking for Susan.
Have you seen her? - I'm desperately seeking her.
- Me, too.
- Style superstar Carson Kressley.
- Hello.
- Your Ross Mathews impersonation is spot on.
- I crawled real deep inside Ross Mathews to play this.
[both laugh.]
- "American Horror Story's" Denis O'Hare.
Now, when you played Liz Taylor, did you tuck? -Tucking is barbaric.
-Oh.
No, darling.
Untucking is barbaric.
[all laugh.]
And the scintillating Candis Cayne.
Now, what star would you do for "Snatch Game?" - I have no idea.
- Let me guess, Judge Judy? - Yes.
[all laugh.]
- This week, we challenged our queens to snatch our attention and tonight, category is, Night of 1,000 Madonnas, the She-quel.
Gentlemen, start your engines.
And may the best woman win.
Category is Aja, last night, she dreamt of San Pedro or Del Taco, if I'm not mistaken.
- I'm just showing off my little ruffles.
I feel like I should've came out with some castanets.
[laughs.]
- La is La Boniba.
Alexis Michelle as Breathless Mahoney.
More like breathless my hand.
[all laugh.]
- I love my shape.
I love the sequin.
I'm breathless.
- Has anyone seen Dick? -Who? -Tracy.
- Oh, my bottom hurts just thinking about it.
Peppermint.
Experience has made her a rich bitch.
- Trying to buy our votes.
- This is probably my favorite Madonna video.
This gorgeous woman being surrounded by all these guys.
It's my dream.
- Talk to me, Harry Winston.
Shea Coulee, Material Girl.
Déjà vu.
- I think she stole that look.
- This is the second wife, the one that gets all the money and the diamonds and the furs.
You know, all the good goods.
- Drag queens really do prefer blondes.
Trinity Taylor.
-Ooh.
-Givenchy better do.
[Michelle laughs.]
- My Madonna is the only Madonna.
I feel like a very strong, powerful bitch right now.
- It's a pantsuit without the pants.
- Who needs pants when you have all this ass? Nina Bo'nina Brown Louise Ciccone.
- I think I've met this one before.
-Who wore it better? -Hmm, we'll find out.
- Right now, I'm just trying to serve a black version of Madonna, even though they'd just seen this outfit.
- Don't get mad, get plaid.
Sasha Velour.
- Oh.
- Her name is Dita and she will be your mistress.
- Nice grill.
- This is very much the type of Madonna look that inspired me and my style.
And I'm really excited to show that I can walk like a fashion model.
- Put your hands all over her body.
[all laugh.]
Farrah Moan, Cleopatra.
- Wow.
- My Madonna is probably the best one here.
Every detail is on point.
- Well, this Super Bowl look is a homerun.
[all laugh.]
- Aren't you mixing metaphors? - Do you mean a touchdown? - Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
-Oh! -Uh-oh.
- [laughs.]
- Ole.
- Mata-adorable.
- Nobody's wearing my look? Whoo! [speaking Spanish.]
- I think she lost her bull.
- Valentina.
-Oh.
-Hmm.
- You know, I hate censorship.
- Me, too.
- When Madonna came out with this look, it was so controversial.
And showing this much of my body is controversial, too.
- I'll walk out the way I walked in.
Naked.
[all laugh.]
- Coming up -Slam dunk.
-Brava.
- Uh, no, not so good.
[RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- Ladies with an attitude, I've made some decisions.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Trinity Taylor.
Aja.
Valentina.
Shea Coulee.
Ladies, this week, you did not cause a commotion.
You're safe.
You may leave the stage.
It's time for the judges critiques, starting with Alexis Michelle.
- You do such a good Liza, she better watch her back.
- Even the way your breathed in after you spoke was Liza.
- [inhales.]
- That's what I'm talking about.
- And that dress is painted on.
You look gorgeous.
- I feel momentum with you.
Keep it up.
- Next up, Peppermint.
- This is one of my favorite Madonna looks, and I think you look beautiful.
- But three weeks in a row we've had pink, so I am looking forward to another color.
Okay, so NeNe Leakes.
She is larger than life, but I felt like you were just being a regular girl.
- Credit scores.
- She serves attitude.
She serves one-liners.
You could have gone anywhere with her.
But it just doesn't cross the finish line.
- Sasha Velour.
- Erotica, slam dunk.
I'm loving seeing this other side of you.
- I love the big circle nipples.
I can't stop looking at them.
I don't know what that means.
And in "Snatch Game," for me, it was like Jessica Lange in "Freakshow" meets "Touch of Evil.
" I thought it was just extraordinary.
Brava.
- Farrah Moan.
- This look is so gorgeous, and you did such a great job with it.
- I love Gigi.
I know Gigi.
And I feel like you could have pushed it, made it more comedic.
- I thought maybe you were gonna throw a bunch of makeup products over your shoulder.
I think you only did that once.
- For some reason, I thought there was gonna be more questions and I'd have opportunities to do more.
- See, that's what young people think.
You see, when you get to be my age, you know, you get one chance, sonny, and you take it.
Up next, Nina Bo'nina Brown Bader Ginsberg.
[all laugh.]
- I so would have loved this if I didn't see Trinity's version of this look.
You get it.
It's just a heightened -Yeah, it was more tailored.
-Exactly.
- But I loved your Jasmine Masters.
The voice was spot on.
- Hell to the no.
- You played by your own rules.
You didn't answer the questions the way they were meant to be answered.
You answered them the way you wanted to answer them.
I thought that was really, really cool.
- Thank you.
- Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
- Hola! - I love good boy-drag-drag-girl.
- Thank you.
- But something's going on with your makeup, mija.
I see too much brown going on.
It's almost a mustache.
- I love the choice of Sofia Vergara for you, but I didn't understand what was going on.
And it wasn't the accent.
- I literally don't think there was one joke in that.
And you had a regular dress on.
Sofia Vergara has tits that are bigger than mine.
- Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
While you take a holiday, the judges and I will deliberate.
Now, just between us material squirrels, what do you think? Let's start with Alexis Michelle.
- Last week was the mall.
This week was couture.
- And in "Snatch Game," she was witty, but in character witty.
She wasn't making fun of the character.
She was being the character.
For me, it's a tossup between her and Marlene Dietrich.
- But her Liza was the best characterization and the thing that I'll remember about this "Snatch Game" more than anything else.
- Peppermint.
- Tonight on the runway, I felt like it was, like, more Marilyn than it was Madonna.
And her character in the "Snatch Game" for me was one of the worst.
If she didn't say bloop, I wouldn't have known it was NeNe Leakes.
- In fairness, I said bloop first, and then she said it.
- But it happens to people when they're acting sometimes.
They get in their head.
- But I'm not getting what I know she can deliver.
- Sasha Velour.
- Tonight on the runway was a 10 for me.
- And even with the whip, it made a link to Marlene Dietrich.
- Yes, that's right.
- It is not easy to deliver Marlene Dietrich and have it be interesting to this time and place.
- What I love about Sasha is she knows her lane and she never lets me down.
Sasha's got me.
- Farrah Moan.
- I just feel like she knew who Gigi was, but didn't know how to get anything more than "hi" out of her.
- I think she thought that by choosing Gigi Gorgeous, it would gain her points in the sort of underground cool factor, which it does.
- Yes.
- But it didn't give her enough options as a player.
- Isn't it ironic, the cool ones ended up being Marlene Dietrich and Liza Minnelli, and the kids don't even know.
-Right.
-But I thought her Madonna look was maybe the most intricate of everybody's.
- Nina Bo'nina Brown.
- We've been waiting for her to stop with the boo-hooing and step it up, and I think as Jasmine Masters, it was a big step forward for Nina Bo'nina.
- Denis, a little backstory for you and Candis.
Nina comes from the Atlanta drag scene, who have never really accepted her.
So when she got here, she felt some kind of a conspiracy theory against her.
- I think it's kind of amazing in a meta theme that she chose Jasmine Masters to express her discontent.
-Yes.
-Because Jasmine Masters is the poster child for discontent.
-[laughs.]
-But that being said, I saw a very confident, fully realized character.
- But on the runway, uh, no, not so good.
- Uh-oh.
- One thing I will say as a sidebar, I don't like when these queens do other queens.
- Yeah.
- Like, I feel like it's an easy way to go.
- I'm with Michelle.
I feel like when you're doing "Snatch Game," it's somebody that's beyond your knowledge.
- Okay.
We've come to that portion in our program where we have to talk about the elephant in the room.
- Oh, I'm on a diet.
[all laugh.]
- Not you.
Cynthia Lee Fontaine as Sofia Vergara.
- It was this mess, this just nonsensical mess.
- And she's got a Spanish accent and it didn't even work.
How does that happen? - Perhaps she's too close to the character.
If she went somewhere very, very different, she might have had a better effect.
- Think of Yara Sofia as Amy Winehouse.
-Yes.
-We all died.
- Exactly.
She should have played Maggie Smith.
[all laugh.]
- It's not good enough.
She got a second chance to come back.
She should be twice as good as the rest of the girls.
- All right, kids.
Silence.
Bring back my Madonna wannabes.
[RuPaul laughs, bell rings.]
[RuPaul laughs.]
- Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Sasha Velour.
Your Marlene Dietrich was a ray of light.
Alexis Michelle.
Your Liza Minnelli left us breathless.
Alexis Michelle, con-drag-ulations.
You're the winner of this week's challenge.
You've won a dazzling $2,000 prize package from Sparkles rhinestones.
- Thank you so much.
[all laugh.]
- Sasha Velour, great job.
You're safe.
You may join the other girls.
Nina Bo'nina Brown, you're safe.
- [deep voice.]
Thank you.
[all laugh.]
- Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
The judges were not bullish on your Sofia Vergara.
I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
- I feel very confused because I wasn't expecting to be, like, second week in a row in the bottom.
- Peppermint, your NeNe was a no-no.
You needed better material, girl.
Farrah Moan.
Your Gigi was gorgeous, but your comic timing wasn't pretty.
Farrah Moan you're safe.
You may join the other girls.
Peppermint, I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
Two queens stand before me.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
The time has come [thunder.]
to lip sync [echoing.]
for your life.
- I'm about to do the thing that I know how to do the best.
Actually, I'm worried for Cynthia.
- Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
[music plays.]
- Hey, Mister D.
J.
Put a record on I want to dance with my baby And when the music starts I never want to stop It's gonna drive me crazy Music makes the people come together, yeah Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel [all laugh.]
- Come on, bitch! - Hey, Mister D.
J.
[all laugh.]
Hey, Mister D.
J.
Put a record on I want to dance with my baby And when the music starts I never want to stop It's gonna drive me crazy Music makes the people come together, yeah Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel -Whoo-whoo! -Yeah! [applause.]
- Ladies, I've made my decision.
Peppermint, shante, you stay.
[applause.]
Cynthia Lee Fontaine, I am so grateful we all had a chance for a second helping of cucu.
Now sashay away.
- Love you, mami.
Believe in yourself, okay? See you later, mis amores.
Cucu! - [laughs.]
- I'm not defeated, and I just appreciate that Mama RuPaul give me this opportunity back again.
There's going to be a lot of cucu in the future.
Cynthia Lee Fontaine forever.
- Con-drag-ulations, my queens.
Now, remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen up in here? -Amen! -Amen! - Now let the music play! - Hey, get it, girl It's your world - Hey Get it, get it, girl Whoa-oh-oh
