RuPaul's Drag Race - Eleven Season

Miss Vanjie.

Miss Vanjie?

Miss Vanjie?

Bitch, I'm back.

I'm back by popular demand,

In Season 10, I was the first girl out.

Miss Vanjie. Miss Vanjie.

I was humiliate-- humiliated.

I was embarrassed.

I thought I was a failure, and I wanted to hide.

It was the worst.

Oh, bitch.

But then when the whole Miss Vanjie thing

went haywire on social media,

bitch, I made lemonade out of lemons.

Whoa. Let me just go ahead and do it now.

Thank y'all.

Appreciate you. Cut the check later, bitch.

I feel very lucky to be back.

I want to show America that I'm more than just a meme.

I'm not a one-episode trick pony.

I'm hiding, bitch.

I'm about to hide and see what hos walk in this door.

'Cause I don't want them to know I'm here just yet.

Welcome to Season 11.

It looks like things just got... eleven-gendary.

My name is Nina West, and I am 39 years old.

I'm the first one.

I am a comedy queen.

I have taken my influences from the Muppets,

Pee-wee Herman, Harvey Fierstein.

Oh, my God.

I write my own shows and produce them.

I won National Entertainer of the Year

with my legendary moving dress

that was copied by Sia.

This is unbelievable.

So if the queens, if they know who I am,

I think some are gonna go, fuck, she's here.

Get ready, y'all, 'cause this Shuga is so sweet.

I'm Shuga Cain, I'm 24,

and I'm from New York City.

Do I really have to say 40?

Oh, shit.

Shuga Cain can do anything.

She does the bougie, she does the banjee.

-Hi. -Hey, girl.

I don't want people to come to my show

and be like, oh, we know what Shuga's gonna do today.

How long you been doing drag?

I've been doing drag for 17 years.

Holy shit.

I've been doing it like legit for like a year and a half.

Wow!

I just did it on a whim,

and it just ended up being the thing.

I decided to quit my job and do drag full-time.

And I shit you not, like two days later,

I got a call from Drag Race.

This is crazy.

Hello. I'm Plastique Tiara from Vietnam.

I'm Plastique Tiara, and I'm from Dallas, Texas.

I like to describe my drag as like the three Ps:

Polished, persistent and pussy.

Your eyes been playing tricks on you.

This bitch is stunning.

It's not Instagram filters.

The bitch is stun-ning.

-Hi, sisters. -Hey.

Hi.

I grew up in Saigon, Vietnam,

so a lot of my drag inspirations

come from Vietnamese pop stars.

I just turned 21 last month.

I could be your grandmother, girl.

I think most queens

would think that, oh, she's young

and she's just pretty.

What else can she do?

But I have some stuff in my repertoire.

Twenty-one?

I'm still gagged about that, 21.

Ooh.

Okay.

I'm Mercedes Iman Diamond,

and I am the African princess.

I'm from Mombasa, Kenya.

I moved to America when I was 11.

-Hey, beautiful. -Hi, gorgeous.

My drag is all about body-ody, jewels,

bling, bling, bling, honey.

What's your name? I missed it when you came in.

Mercedes. Just like the car, Mercedes Iman.

Mercedes, Yes, honey, rich.

You will never miss that, baby.

More like a Buick.

Hold on, bitch. What?

Ooh.

The world wants me,

and the feeling is mutual.

My name is Scarlet Envy.

I am Southern beauty and New York City grit.

Come on, waist.

My drag is about embracing the beauty

that you were blessed with.

And I happen to be very blessed.

What a big day for us.

Fellow New Yorker in the house, honey.

-Yes! -Yes!

Well, I worked the birth of Venus today,

and she is Venus with a penis.

This Honey is raw and unfiltered.

I'm Honey Davenport,

and I'm New York City's crown jewel.

Honey's style is anything the hell I feel like that day.

I always say, like, I might wear Givenchy,

but labels don't fit me.

I'm so gagged that Miss Honey Davenport is here.

She is huge in New York City.

She's a legend there.

I love a good competition, girl,

but I wouldn't call myself a pageant queen.

I'm a performer who exceeds limits.

Just two months ago, I was in an off-Broadway show.

I used to have my own band.

I just don't fit into any single box

or type of drag.

So do you guys think

there's going to be any surprises this season?

Oh, absolutely, girl.

Do you think there's anyone coming back?

-Returning? -Yeah, returning back.

Girl, I think I know.

I have a guess. I have a guess.

Let's say all on three.

One, two, three.

Vanjie.

- Vanjie. -

Y'all think that's funny? Calling my name out, bitch?

I was hiding back there, bitch,

with my ADD ass ready to come on out.

Come on, Scarlet.

-Hi, baby. -Shuga.

Vanjie's back.

This doll deserves a second chance.

I'm excited to see

what she's gonna do second time around.

I feel like I should start looking around

for anyone else in here.

-Is anybody else in here? -

Aah, yes!

Oh, fish filet, bitch.

Oh, yes, it's me, Miss A'Keria.

D-A-V-E-N-P-O-R--

And as you can see, I'm the motherfucking T.

- -I am A'Keria Chanel Davenport,

all the way from that fabulous House of Davenport,

where we love to drag, and this season it will show.

My drag is in-your-face.

It's very sexy and shiny.

I know she do pageants.

Wait. Which one you won, sis?

-Renaissance? -Universe.

Yeah, Black Universe! Yes!

I'm the current reigning Miss Black Universe.

You know what? I do consider myself a pageant queen.

I know some of y'all don't like that word,

but, hey, I'm here to change your mind on it.

I can bet you that.

So how many Davenports are there?

-Do we know? - Oh, girl, listen.

We're could do Season 12: Davenport.

-Yes! -

Girl, what the--?

Move over, ladies.

This race just took an odd turn.

Oh, girl, the circus is in town, Mary.

My name is Yvie Oddly,

and I'm Denver's commodity of drag oddity.

Denver predominantly had the sparkly, dancing

like bodysuit, hair-flipping queens,

and I shook that up.

The inspirations I draw upon

are Mugler, Alexander McQueen, Christine

'cause she's so nuts.

So she's house Slytherin.

Wake up. Oh, it's a snake.

Don't mind my tag-along.

Mama.

I'm really confused

as to why Hot Wheels needs to make an appearance

on RuPaul's Drag Race.

What kind of drag do you do, girl?

I'm a conceptual queen.

I'm just here to shock and suck cock.

Yeah! We're trying to get acquainted.

She trying to get dick. Girl!

Okay.

Munch, munch, crunch, crunch.

Silky Ganache is here to eat the lunch.
