RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked

This is not RuPaul's Best Friend Race!

I feel very attacked!

Ooh, yes.

Well, we made it.

I have had everybody in this goddamn place coming for me.

This is Untucked,

backstage at the competition

to become America's next drag superstar.

Girl, if you're not watching Untucked, you're only getting half the story.

Break on the main stage.

All cameras re-po.

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Joey Jay,

Denali,

Tamisha Iman,

Utica,

Rosé,

you're getting the porkchop.

Wow.

What the fuck?

This is crazy.

I feel awful.

It sucks.

It can't end this soon.

It's not fair.

I'm confused and I'm hurting,

because I have a lot to show,

and I have no idea what to do next.

Wow.

- Hi. - Hello.

-Hi. - Hi, hi, hi.

I'm not sure what is going on.

I find four other drag queens,

and they're all sitting there looking pretty defeated.

Welcome to the porkchop queen.

-Welcome to the show. Bye. -Yeah, seriously.

I'm, like, so gagged that just happened.

I know, right? First of all, who did you lip sync against?

- Olivia Lux. -OK.

I'm from New York, she's also from New York.

- Nice. -Um…

My girl was from New York. I had Kandy Muse.

Oh, I love Kandy, I'm glad she's here.

Me, too.

Whupped my ass.

-Is that how you really feel, sis? -

Kandy's a fucking riot.

Now we're sitting alone in VIP.

- Well, not totally alone. -No, that is true, yeah.

I'm sure wherever she is, she's very loud.

Yeah, she's loud. She's loud.

So you knew who you were lip syncing against.

-Yeah. -Did that make it feel different or weird?

Yeah, it did.

The last time I saw Olivia was at a big competition in New York…

…where I was hosting and she was competing.

So, like, that's, like, full circle for that bitch

to come back and beat the host of a competition, you know?

-I was really gagged that that happened. -I know. Like, at all, right?

Yeah. I was so, like, in my head during that.

-Right. -That was, like, not my tea.

Utica, how did you feel about that lip-sync?

Um, I was caught a little off-guard.

You know, I felt like, "Damn, I made it."

And then the feeling of, "Oh my God…"

"I'm going home first."

I didn't expect to have it end this way.

I didn't get to show my work.

I feel sad about it, you know?

Feels rough.

How do you feel?

Um, I'm still kind of in shock.

Yeah.

But I'm a pageant girl, so I know when I've been beaten,

and I can accept that. But I was like, "You know what?"

-Word. - That's how I felt.

Keep in mind, I got cast for Season 12.

-Oh! -Word!

But when I got cast, um, I discovered I had cancer.

Shut up!

And I had to start immediate radiation and chemo.

-Oh my God. - So I wasn't able to come.

And, um, I fought back to get back here one year later.

I couldn't walk at one time.

The radiation had gotten so bad to where I couldn't walk anymore.

So to actually be back here in my livelihood…

-Yeah. -I made it, you know?

-That's sickening. Congratulations. -That's amazing.

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Kahmora Hall and Elliott,

you are both getting the porkchop.

Now sashay away.

I'm so confused.

I feel so defeated.

Am I going home?

Is this a trick?

I don't know what's going on, and it's horrible.

I feel like I let myself down.

I know that I'm so much better than this, and I know that I have more to show.

So knowing that I got the chop, I can just feel, like, my dreams slipping away.

- Hi! -Hi, hi, hi.

-Hi! - I know this one.

Let me hug you! Ooh!

Denali!

Oh, my God, I can't believe it.

I can't believe you're here.

-I'm Kahmora. - The legend, Kahmora Hall.

- Right. -Oh, stop, I'm not! But I'll take it.

Of the Tajma Halls and the Jaida Essence Hall.

- Oh, cute. -So wait. How did your lip-sync go?

- Girl, I went through, like… - It was traumatizing.

-…a mix of emotions. -It was traumatizing.

Like, I put so much into this competition.

Like, I used, like, so much of my savings for this.

At the same time, I'm just so grateful, because I've wanted Drag Race for so long.

- Right. -And, like, just to be here means a lot.

What in the heck do you think is about to happen next?

Our picture's gonna be on that wall, too.

Can I be next to Soju, though? That's my daughter?

- Is it? -Yeah, we both went home first.

- Oh! -

Soju and her sis?

I came here for justice for Soju,

but, well, that ended, so…

What's crazier to me is that the only queen I got to meet was Tina.

I've seen you before.

-You were at Las Vegas. -I sure was.

That's a horrible, you know, impression, I'm telling you.

You know what I'm saying?

The same exact thing has happened to all of us.

- Yes. - Right.

So I'm sure, at this point, I feel like there's another room, like--

Where they're talking shit.

There's probably another kiki happening with the girls who beat us right now.

Oh, I'm sure.

-God. - I know.

So let's get down to the real, real, real tea.

You bitches walk in.

It's you and another girl. -Uh-huh.

- It's crazy. -What goes through your mind?

When we got on that main stage, I don't know about y'all, but I was like,

there ain't no way I'm walking in in my entrance outfit

and they're gonna be sitting up in there, judging, you know?

Literally!

And I'll tell you what. I rounded that corner and I shit my pants.

I was just like this.

- - You know what I mean?

At that point, everything that I thought that I knew walking in

flew right out the window.

Yeah, which of course is how they like to do it.

Exactly. When you walk in, you think you're gonna meet, like, 13 other queens.

-Or at least half the cast. - I was so excited!

I was like, we're gonna talk, we're gonna say, "You're horrible, and I like you."

It's one thing to be told, "Oh, you're going to lip sync."

It's another thing to go on the main stage

on your first day of Drag Race…

-Yes. …in front of the four judges,

RuPaul in drag staring through your soul.

And now you have to put on a show,

not only for them, but to save your ass as well.

- Yeah. -Bitch--

I thought it'd be, we're lip syncing,

and then, you know, you get put in another group.

But she said, "You go home now," and I was like, oh.

-I was like, "What's going on?" - I didn't believe it, either.

I was, like, there's no way.

If I was sitting up there and they told me that I lost, I would have been over it.

Bitch, how you think they felt?

It's lucky 13, even though it's not, but it is.

I'm not feeling so lucky today, actually.

I don't think so either.

I love to compete, you know,

so I was like, "Fuck, I'm the first one."

I'm like… shook.

Kinda cutthroat. A little cutthroat.

It's a little cutthroat.

-No one wants to go home first. -No one. No, no.

I'll tell you what. This is not what I expected to happen today.

-On my first day at RuPaul's Drag Race. -I am so upset.

You'd think it would be a happy get-to-know-you moment,

but we feel so defeated.

We feel like this is the end.

I feel good about all six of us, so…

-Yeah. -Same!

This is a cute couch.

-This is a cute couch. - We should keep the couch.

-There's enough space. -

We don't need any more.

With me, there was two girls,

they were like, "Two of you are going home." And I said, "Excuse me?"

-Elliott and Kahmora Hall. -Wait, you said two girls?

Wait, what?

-You only had one? -Oh, yeah.

Oh, so there's 13 of us. Yeah.

-Oh, word, bitch. - That's insane.

-Oh, that is shady. -Yeah.

-Y'all are shady. -Honey.

Wait. So both got sent home?

-See that? I sent two home. -She sent two home.

Oh, OK.
