00:00Okay. Somebody's wearing cheap perfume. Oh, wait. It's me. I'm Irene DuBois. I'm the
00:19alien queen of Seattle, and I'm here to invade your television sets. My drag is very much
00:24inspired by sci-fi, fantasy, and big, glamorous Texas drag queens. I always want to look like
00:30I rule some kind of alien kingdom. Oh, my God. My new playground. I grew up in Texas
00:38and had to get the out of there, so I hightailed it to Seattle, and Bosco is actually my drag
00:42sister, and we sort of came up in the Seattle drag scene together. She went the demon route.
00:46I went the alien route. I am going to rip this place to shreds. I have been honing my
00:52drag skills for the past 10 years with the sole purpose of taking home this crown. Oh, God.
01:04Gag them a bit, for sure. My name is Lux Noir London, and I'm the physical embodiment of the
01:12word superstar. If I had to describe my drag aesthetic in a couple simple words, I'd just say
01:17effervescent, diva, flawless, stunning, furious. Hi, how are you? Nice of you to join us, bitch.
01:26What's your name? Irene DuBois. I'm Lux Noir London. You're gorge. Thank you. What is that,
01:3122 inches of premium human hair, honey? Oh, it's 40 inches, trust. No, it's not. It definitely
01:37is 40 human. I think you might have gotten scammed in this thing. No, it's definitely 40,
01:41trust me. Do we have a tape measure? I cannot believe that the first second I walk in the room,
01:47some bitch is saying that my hair is not 40 inches. How dare you? Where are you from? I'm
01:52from New Jersey. What's the drag like in New Jersey? It's okay. I would say that I'm definitely
01:58like the prettiest. Sure. I have been told that I kind of come off a little like arrogant sometimes,
02:07but I think that's because I'm confident. I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
02:12It's so pretty in here. Oh, my God. It is. It's very nice. It reminds me of your face.
02:16Thank you. Brick. Do you feel that aura? I bet you do. Hello, world. My name is Ora Mayari,
02:29and I am Nashville's best, most stunning, and most electrifying drag performer.
02:35Where is she walking to? I am a dancer. I do a lot of very high energy number,
02:43and I am your Filipina goddess. Yes, goddess.
02:51Hi. I'm Lux Newar London. Lux Newar London. Ora Mayari, nice to meet you. Girl, you are out
02:56of breath already. Girl, I was doing too much. You were doing the utmost. You gotta show the
03:00best. Yeah. My drag is a little bit of Beyonce, a little bit of Rihanna, and a little bit of
03:07Justin Bieber, because I put on a little bit of some masculine swag on stage when I perform.
03:12I'm a performer. What are you guys excited about? I'm just excited to win,
03:17and do really good, and look really pretty.
03:21Delusion. It's not delusion. It's the truth. Oh, my God, girl. Season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
03:27I'm here to slay, bitches.
03:36Ow, my nose. My name is Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, and I'm mom's favorite.
03:42What happened? She looked under my skirt and got hit with a secret.
03:47Marsha, Marsha, Marsha is a Brady Bunch reference to Marsha Brady.
03:51My favorite Marsha Brady moment is when she gets hit in the face with a football.
03:55Marsha, Marsha, Marsha is like the prom queen. She's a class president,
04:00and she's really, really beautiful. She kind of looks like Jan.
04:04My first impression of Marsha, Marsha, Marsha's drag is basic.
04:13Oh, do you guys know each other? Yeah.
04:14Yes, it's a New York. Okay.
04:16I'm a trained singer, dancer, and actor. I have a BFA in musical theater.
04:20I've been in Broadway shows. You sing?
04:23Yeah. What type of genre do you do? I don't sing a lot in my live shows,
04:27but I mean, in terms of pop music, it's Ariana Grande. Absolutely.
04:30Hands down. Weaponizing that BFA, baby.
04:41What?
04:43Hey, bitches. It's your girl, Anitra, the Sin City bombshell from Las Vegas, Nevada.
04:47I would describe my drag as sexy, glamorous, not great skin, but she doesn't drag.
04:54How's your head? Disgusting.
05:00Oh, y'all look great. Don't lie to them.
05:04I am a stunt queen, I believe is the term that they use.
05:10I'm giving you splits, dips, getting chips, and eating some dip. We're doing everything.
05:16I have to ask, you don't have a wig on. Is this like a common thing for you?
05:19Um, no. I mean, it does happen occasionally, but usually I have some hair on.
05:23Do you not even have a little pussycat under there?
05:26I'm broke, so no.
05:31Oh, I'm just here to fox up.
05:36What did the fox say?
05:39I am the beautiful, talented, tantalizing, mesmerizing, sensational,
05:43motivational, Malaysia baby doll, baby doll, baby doll, fox.
05:49Hey, y'all.
05:50Nice to meet you.
05:52Where are you from?
05:52I'm from Miami, Florida. The first queen from Miami.
05:56Miami drag is some of the best drag in the country.
05:58I know, and it took 15 seasons to finally get one of us here, right?
06:02Congratulations.
06:03Baby, I made it. I made it.
06:06All the way from the MIA, I didn't come to play.
06:09I'm from the 305 with all the way live. I'm fat, I'm funny, I'm fabulous.
06:12You are stunning. Do you do pageants?
06:14I've done a million pageants.
06:15A million?
06:16I'm not successful at them, though.
06:19So do you do drag full time or do you have a day job?
06:21I'm a hairstylist, makeup artist. I work with a lot of celebrities.
06:25I work with the city girls.
06:26I love the city girls.
06:28Also do Trina a lot.
06:29Word, baby.
06:31I have been doing drag for about 13 or 14 years.
06:34I'm a walking billboard of artistry.
06:44I'm homophobic.
06:47I am Princess Poppy, and I am a real-life fairy princess.
06:52She's an artist, and she's sensitive about her s***.
06:54Oh, my God.
06:55My drag is very princessy. It's very girly.
06:58My performance style is the opposite.
07:01I'm very eccentric, and I'm very irreverent.
07:03I think my biggest achievement in drag is going viral on TikTok with the I'm homophobic dress.
07:09Giving twister, honey.
07:10Right hand on yellow.
07:12Paint me a happy little tree.
07:14I'm funny. I can act. I can sing. I can rap.
07:16I can stick my ears in my ears.
07:25Princess Poppy's look is basic but effective.
07:28I don't know if she's a painter or she may be a drag queen.
07:32She looks like a lovely white lady.
07:34How long have you been doing drag, Princess?
07:36Seven years, I want to say, since I was like 18.
07:38Word. I've been doing drag for 10 years.
07:40What about you?
07:41I've been doing drag for about 10 years.
07:42I've been doing drag like on Instagram and stuff for like four years,
07:45but I've only been performing for like a year and a half.
07:49And then you?
07:50Like Instagram for a year, New York for a year.
07:52A year?
07:54Two years.
07:54I know, let's get her.
07:56She's like, I've been doing drag for a week and just showed up.
07:59I'm noticing there's a lot of baby queens here.
08:02They telling me they're doing drag for one and two years.
08:06Do you have the charisma, the uniqueness, the nerve, and the talent?
08:10We can be old and these young bitches can sit here and think
08:12that wearing human hair unstyled is good enough to get to the end of this competition.
08:17I mean, I'd rather wear the unstyled hair than that.
08:19We can just run a flat iron through her real quick.
08:22That'll do the job.
08:30Is that Sasha Colby?
08:32Period.
08:36Aloha, I'm Sasha Colby, former Miss Continental.
08:39I am singer, dancer, activist, and all-around goddess.
08:45Wowie wow, wowzer.
08:47Yes, come on body.
08:48Yes, body.
08:49Am I the body queen?
08:51Am I the bo...
08:53I am the body queen.
08:55No, I'm the body queen.
08:56Should we go home?
08:58I am fierce, ferocious, and ready for battle.
09:01I am Sasha the warrior princess.
09:09Everybody knows who Sasha Colby is.
09:10Sasha Colby is a legend.
09:13Sasha is competition.
09:15It's a little intimidating.
09:16Everybody's jaw is on the ground.
09:18Myself included.
09:19I'm Sasha, by the way.
09:21I'm Blippi.
09:22Everybody's introduction.
09:24I am originally from Hawaii.
09:27But I live here in LA.
09:28How long have you been doing drag, Sasha?
09:3020 years now.
09:32Since I was like seven.
09:35So Carrie was your daughter?
09:37Carrie is my daughter.
09:38It was an easy birth.
09:41I'm a former Miss Continental.
09:43I am Carrie Colby's mother.
09:45I'm here to represent for the trans girls
09:48and for the house of Colby, baby.
09:49I love you, daughter.
09:50But I can't have Carrie be the most famous Colby.
09:54I'm so excited.
09:55Like we watched this on TV.
09:57Like that's the door.
09:58Like I just did the runway.
10:00It's on, baby.
10:00Let's go.
10:01I can't believe I'm on season 15.
10:03It's on.
10:04Season 15.
10:05Season 15.
10:06She said, I'm so excited.
10:13Shut up.
10:14I'm done.
10:16Oh my god, it's Ornasha.
10:19Good to see you again, sis.
10:21If you don't know who Ornasha is, baby,
10:24you might need to rewind and go back to season six
10:27when Miss Vivations walked up in the building
10:29and Miss Ornasha was dangling on top of her head, honey.
10:32Maza, how's that rhyme?
10:36Wait, is this real?
10:38Why is this person being vivacious as Ornasha?
10:42This is your moment.
10:43Have it.
10:45Can you get it?
10:46I feel like a super fan.
10:47Maza, baby.
10:48Let us see.
10:57Oh my god, that is Ariana Grande.
11:02Mother has arrived.
11:06Oh my god.
11:08Oh my god, that is Ariana Grande.
11:11I can't do this.
11:12I need to leave.
11:13Who is, like, literally my hero.
11:16Oh my god, I'm wearing a full face of your makeup right now.
11:18No, you're not.
11:20I'm gagging.
11:21Like, Ariana!
11:24This is, like, the biggest moment of my life to this point.
11:28I literally can't believe it.
11:30Oh my god, it's such an honor to meet you guys.
11:32This is so exciting.
11:33I think drag is the most infectious and joyous art form that there is.
11:38Thank you guys for bringing so much joy to the lives of the drag race fans and to everyone.
11:44And thank you for giving us break free.
11:47To hear these, like, words of validation from this mega superstar
11:51is honestly the greatest thing in the world to hear.
11:53Especially in a time like this where there are so many people
11:57trying to take down queer representation.
11:59This is kind of fierce.
12:01I think the last time I was here,
12:03I had just come from shooting the Bang Bang video the night before.
12:07And I was so drained.
12:08It was just such an overwhelming time in my life.
12:10And I felt like I wasn't really fully present for it.
12:13Remember to take care of yourself and be present
12:15because it's just such an amazing moment and all of your lives are changing.
12:19For good.
12:20Forever.
12:21For good.
12:23But it's the truth.
12:24It came out of my mouth and I was like,
12:25oh no, it's a lyric, but hold on.
12:28But they really are.
12:29Ariana Grande, you have no idea how much you have helped me through
12:34and how much you inspire me on a daily basis.
12:37I never could have asked for a better first day in the workroom.
12:43Hello, hello, hello.
12:48Ariana, darling.
12:49Back, back, back again.
12:51Come on down.
12:54Ariana, hi.
12:56We are so excited you're here.
12:58How excited are you?
13:00Rue, my pussy's on fire.
13:03Well, you know there's an ointment for that.
13:06I ran out.
13:09My queens, welcome to RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15.
13:13Now, how do you like it so far?
13:15Good, because the stunts and the shenanigans are just getting started.
13:21And in the end, one of you will be crowned America's next drag superstar
13:25and walk away with a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics,
13:30plus a cash prize of $200,000 powered by Cash App.
13:40Two hundred thousand dollars.
13:45That is a life-changing amount of money.
13:48That I am about to win.
13:50Run that back.
13:51Bitch, we're about to be rich.
13:53I'm about to invest in some crypto.
13:54Now, who's pussy's on fire?
13:59My queens, for your very first mini challenge,
14:03we are paying tribute to Drag Race's first ever photo shoot.
14:08I have watched the show from day one,
14:10and I know that those iconic season one girls got sprayed in the face with a garden hose.
14:16Yes, mama.
14:17Did you watch the show, Tamar?
14:19The doors you have opened.
14:21Ariana, can you stay?
14:23I'm so sorry, I have to go.
14:24I have to return this to Vivacious.
14:27But I have a favor to ask.
14:29What's that?
14:29Would it be okay if I came back tomorrow?
14:31Yes, breaking news.
14:34Our extra special guest judge this week is Ariana Grande.
14:40Rue, I cannot wait to see how this turns out.
14:42You need some of those little opera glasses.
14:44Oh, I would love some.
14:45Yeah.
14:45Rue, I cannot wait to see how this turns out.
14:48That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
14:56Oh, and one more thing before I go.
14:59Good luck.
15:01And don't.
15:06F*** it up.
15:09Oh, I'm going to tell the Disney.
15:12Let's go, season 15.
15:15Jeez Louise, here we go, honey.
15:17Here's the ride, buckle up.
15:19Strap in, honey.
15:23Well, look who's here.
15:25Irene Dubois.
15:26I see four beautiful men in little teeny tiny bathing suits,
15:31a gorgeous car, and Rue Paul ready to watch me make a goddamn fool of myself.
15:37Say hello to world-renowned photographer Albert Sanchez.
15:40Hello.
15:40Hi, Albert.
15:41Nice to meet you.
15:41Albert's going to take your picture today,
15:43and we're going to recreate the first challenge we did on Drag Race 300 years ago.
15:50As you notice, the pit crew have thick hoses and they aren't afraid to use them.
15:56You need to serve body and face, come hell or high water.
16:00Oh, pit crew, assume the position.
16:04Let's go.
16:04Let's get, let's wash this car.
16:06And do not let water hit Mom Rue or you're going to be a gremlin queen.
16:11Help me, my car's filthy.
16:14You're a dirty girl.
16:16I am sopping wet, looking like a drowned, harassed rat.
16:21But I am used to performing in basements in Seattle
16:24while I pour weird substances like baked beans all over myself.
16:28This is a cakewalk.
16:30Scrub, scrub, scrub till the water's brown.
16:34They're not mad at you, they're mad at the dirt.
16:36Hi.
16:37Luxe Noir London.
16:39Pose the house down.
16:40Do you watch The Price is Right?
16:41Yes.
16:42Yes.
16:43Pit crew, can you step in and give this girl a hand?
16:45You ready to get wet?
16:49Water.
16:50I hate getting wet.
16:52The feeling of being in wet drag.
16:55You have on all this padding.
16:56I'm wearing my human hair and like, oh my God, like I literally could vomit right now.
17:01Pose like it's 1968.
17:03But I am a supermodel, so pour as much water on me as you want.
17:08I'll just have to still give it to you.
17:10Oh my goodness.
17:11Oh, she's got no Luxe left to give, honey.
17:15Ora Mayari.
17:17Oh yeah.
17:17Oh, she's ready to get wet.
17:19Do I get to touch them?
17:21I'm a horny bitch.
17:22Oh my God.
17:23Sorry, mom.
17:24Scrub that dirty shoulder, Bruno.
17:26Which one is Bruno?
17:27The one who's basically f***ing you right now.
17:30Hi, Bruno.
17:32That hand wash is going to cost you extra, okay?
17:35Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
17:37Let me guess, you're here for the pork chops and applesauce.
17:42Now, Marsha, are you wearing a turtleneck?
17:44I sure am.
17:47But that's not the only turtleneck in this shot.
17:50All right, well I think we got it, yes.
17:52I think we got it, yeah.
17:55I think I did pretty bad.
18:01My nose is healed.
18:03Was it fun, Marsha?
18:04I love how they were like, oh, did you enjoy meeting your like life icon this morning?
18:09I hope so because we're drowning you.
18:11In a sweater too.
18:12Oh my, you look so different.
18:15Getting to meet these girls out of drag, I can't wait for people to see how cute I am.
18:20Irene still kind of looks like a swamp witch.
18:25I don't care, that was funny.
18:26She looks like a swamp witch.
18:29That's her thing, she's like alien spooky, you know?
18:31Swamp witch realness, that's her.
18:36Anitra is here, ladies and gentlemen.
18:39I'm so excited to do the iconic first mini challenge ever on RuPaul's Drag Race.
18:43It's weird to think that I'm about to be part of such a big legacy.
18:47This is unreal.
18:48Yes, arch that back.
18:49Yeah, soaking wet.
18:51I'm trying to pose, give Naomi Campbell.
18:56But the hose is just like spraying my face.
19:00What's wrong, Anitra?
19:04Oh, we just lost an eyelash.
19:06Work with it, work with it.
19:07Bitch, RuPaul's waterboarding race.
19:09From the house of making it wet.
19:13All right, Malaysia, baby doll box.
19:16Bitch, I got on my good.
19:17Think of it as Miami humidity.
19:20My ostrich feathers, my rhinestones, like my quaffed hair.
19:24You haven't heard of WAP?
19:25Yeah.
19:26But you know what?
19:27It's a competition.
19:28I got to do what I got to do.
19:29That can be replaced.
19:31It's money on the line.
19:32Oh, this kitty is wet.
19:34She is soaking wet.
19:36Poppy, say, I need a freak.
19:38I need a freak.
19:40Say it in Spanish.
19:41I need a el frico.
19:45I hope those are watercolors.
19:47This is the high colonic portion of our program.
19:50They're spraying me, my butt hole, my other hole.
19:52Every hole that I have, there's water in it.
19:54Are you a dirty girl?
19:55I haven't washed these tights in three years.
19:59Hose everywhere.
20:01Sasha Colby, Carrie's mother.
20:03You look like her sister.
20:04I want to show them that mother is a supermodel.
20:09Soaking wet.
20:12But I am not having my Naomi Campbell moment.
20:15I am not having my Campbell soup moment right now, OK?
20:18I'm going to do my aerial.
20:22All right, I think we got it.
20:24At the end, like most of my interactions with boys with hoses,
20:28I am thoroughly confused and utterly in the dark.
20:34Oh, my God, it's freezing.
20:40Sasha, are your nipples hard as rocks?
20:43Sensors.
20:45Gang's all here for the party of the year.
20:47So ready to get out of this.
20:48Oh, my nipples look so small.
20:51Marsha gets out of drag and I'm like,
20:54did you get out of drag?
20:55I can't tell.
20:56I would have never guessed that you'd look like that out of drag.
20:59Shut up, she's exactly the same.
21:02She took off her Demi Wispy lash and she goes,
21:03all right, done.
21:06OK, free junior and senior.
21:09Wow, this is so weird.
21:11How about muscle queen?
21:14Or is a man?
21:17How is she all that woman and all that man together?
21:20I think I'm trade of the season for sure.
21:23That is so embarrassing.
21:26But it's the truth.
21:28What's up?
21:29OK, please take this wig off.
21:31I can't.
21:32I refuse.
21:33Oh, my God.
21:35I refuse.
21:35I paid for every inch, all 40 of them.
21:39We got to get a measuring tape.
21:40Get a ruler, girl.
21:41It's not looking like 40 inches to me.
21:45I think I've got a pretty good eye for size,
21:48if you know what I mean.
21:51How do you guys feel about us as a group?
21:54And do you think that we're a strong group?
21:55And do you think that we'll be a stronger group
21:57than the other people coming in?
21:58It's a little early to tell.
21:59Right.
21:59I mean, you got me.
22:01That part.
22:03Clearly, this is a split premiere.
22:04I'm not super worried about another batch of queens, though.
22:07They are going to have a tough time standing up to group one.
22:11I feel like what intimidates people,
22:13it's like an energy thing.
22:15And I didn't get like a negative energy from anybody.
22:17I don't know.
22:17When I walked in, I did get a little bit of a vibe from Irene.
22:21But what kind of vibe?
22:23It was a little hot.
22:24Just a little catty.
22:25But like...
22:26I will say, I will say, I wish that you guys were throwing it back.
22:29I think other people see me as a bitch,
22:33but I'm always trying to be funny.
22:35I think that being f***y is hilarious.
22:37And most drag queens do.
22:42Y'all decent?
22:44Well, y'all clean up real good.
22:48Racers, the winner of today's mini challenge is...
22:54Irene Dubois.
22:55Oh, yeah.
22:58Congratulations.
22:59You've won a cash prize of $2,500.
23:04Fierce.
23:05I am surprised,
23:07because I didn't clock her as being someone who is very photogenic.
23:12But we're on drag race.
23:14Anything is possible.
23:15Ladykins, now is your chance to put the T
23:19in Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent
23:21for your first maxi challenge.
23:23You'll be headlining a once-in-a-lifetime talent extravaganza.
23:29They're calling One Night Only.
23:37It's time to wow the world with your solo star power.
23:41But first, you'll need to work together on the big opening number.
23:45And in a moment, you'll head over to the rehearsal studio
23:48to come up with your own choreography.
23:51I know how to choreograph.
23:52It is my time to show everybody my skills.
23:55I'm definitely confident with what I'm going to bring.
24:00I'm nervous, y'all.
24:01I ain't, like, no, you know, choreographed dancing and all that.
24:04And I'm not trying to let these girls know that I'm weak.
24:06I ain't no weakling.
24:08Racers, start your engines.
24:10And may the best drag queen win.
24:14I'm feeling confident that I can do better than some of the people in the room.
24:17I thought you were going to get it.
24:18You're such a little model.
24:19I did, too.
24:20But, you know, Naomi was rejected once.
24:23You win some, you lose some.
24:25But I do plan on winning most.
24:31So it's time to figure out our choreography
24:33for our big performance of One Night Only.
24:35Oh, man. Rehearsal.
24:39This is about showcasing why we are all on season 15.
24:42And we are tasked with figuring this all out by ourselves.
24:47So is anybody into choreographing?
24:49I like choreographing stuff.
24:50I choreograph, but...
24:51So do I.
24:53Maybe some people do think they're choreographers,
24:55but are they good?
24:57That's the question.
24:59I will take the reign.
25:01Do it.
25:02I have an extensive history in choreographing and dancing.
25:07So I'm thinking that I can really spearhead this for the group.
25:10Like, I have some ideas already.
25:11Yeah.
25:12But I want to see what you have prepared.
25:13I know you already, like, kind of, like...
25:14I thought about it.
25:15How about you do yours?
25:16And then we'll pay you back.
25:17Yeah.
25:18We'll elaborate from there.
25:19You know, a mother has had to deal with a lot of children in her life.
25:23And what I've learned is you let the kids play,
25:26and then you clean them up later.
25:27So we've all listened to the song at this point.
25:29It doesn't feel, like, super dancey.
25:30It feels very, like...
25:31Right.
25:32My core is mine.
25:33Yeah.
25:33Entering in couples could be really cute.
25:36How do we...
25:36We all enjoy...
25:38Sure.
25:41Sure, Jan.
25:41Sure, Jan.
25:42Okay, well, I do have an idea.
25:43Can I show it really quick?
25:44Yeah, sure.
25:44So for the first part, like...
25:45Tonight, tonight.
25:47And then that...
25:49It's like, if you're doing this, you're...
25:51Oh, that's cute.
25:52And then the people that are up here will go...
25:56It kind of just turns into Aura taking over the whole thing.
26:00Can I put you guys in formation?
26:01Great.
26:02And we just kind of don't listen to Marsha.
26:06But that's, you know, sure.
26:09So in my brain, it would be like...
26:11Two of us going, two of us.
26:13No, but I also have that idea for, like...
26:16Am I the greatest star?
26:17That's when we start walking in different groups.
26:19So Marsha has a lot of ideas.
26:22But I want to make sure that the better choreography...
26:29It's just...
26:29This is our first performance.
26:31I want this to look sickening as hell.
26:34I just think that there's not really a clear entrance though.
26:36Yeah, I feel like we could still incorporate Marsha's idea
26:38because we still need to enter.
26:40We can figure that out.
26:40You can let us know, Marsha, if you want...
26:42If you have any idea for the entrance.
26:44I think she just said it.
26:47What we've already done does not correlate with what I wanted to do.
26:50Right.
26:50Because to me, the beginning of the song, it sounds like...
26:52The whisper is like, tonight, tonight, it's happening tonight.
26:55I'm sorry, I would love to not double choreograph.
26:56Great, of course, of course, of course.
26:58They keep going back and forth.
27:00I'm like, girls, I don't give a f*** what we do.
27:02Let's just do something.
27:03So who wants to give up control for real?
27:05Like, who wants to say, let's just finish this eight and go on?
27:07We can't even get past the first eight.
27:09In Marsha and Hora's head, I think it's their moment to shine.
27:12Last time, sorry guys.
27:13Let's do it again.
27:16Selena, you look so beautiful.
27:17So how do we get here?
27:20It is about to be a very, very long night.
27:30Is this the meeting for the Itty Bitty S.T.I.T.I. committee?
27:33Because they're here.
27:35What's popping, daddy?
27:36My name is Selena S.T.I.T.I.s and I'm repping from Los Angeles.
27:39I'm the hustling diva, West Hollywood girl.
27:40Yeah, she be twirling all through the streets, pounding pussy to pavement.
27:43Woo!
27:44S.T.I.T.I.s pa'quí, honey.
27:46Yes!
27:46You like these S.T.I.T.I.s?
27:48Uh-oh.
27:49It's a hot chilo.
27:51S.T.I.T.I.'s aesthetic is ghetto superstar.
27:53She is cholita, campy, and c***.
27:55Baby, she is a chola from the hood.
27:57You know what I mean?
27:57She's a little titiri.
27:58But it's okay.
27:59Everybody loves her.
28:00Hold on.
28:01Don't tell me I'm the only one who got invited to Ruth Quinceanera, bitch.
28:05Bitch, I'm the first one!
28:06Ah!
28:07I don't have to f*** with no bitches.
28:08I guess it's a fiesta of one.
28:10I do the bar scenes and drag, but I also do a lot of TV, film, commercial work.
28:13She's a campy comedy girl.
28:15Baby, she's all of it right through the bow, okay?
28:17A quinceanera bow.
28:18I need to get comfortable.
28:19Let me get comfortable.
28:20Let me get comfortable.
28:24Ha ha!
28:26I could get used to this!
28:35Is this thing on?
28:36I'm Amethyst, resident meme queen and pop star of Connecticut.
28:40My aesthetic is very influenced by the Y2K era.
28:44I am known as a comedy queen.
28:48I think my biggest achievement in drag would be going viral on TikTok.
28:52My most viral video has close to 8 million views.
28:56It is so cool to be the first viral TikTok queen to grace the stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
29:02Hi, Vanessa!
29:02Hi, baby!
29:03Hi!
29:04What's up, girl?
29:04Hi, sis!
29:05What's your name?
29:06Amethyst.
29:07Where you from?
29:07Uh, Connecticut.
29:09First Connecticut queen.
29:10Really?
29:11Yeah.
29:11I like to think of myself as one of the top names in Connecticut,
29:14but I think I'm still labeled as a newbie or a newcomer or a baby queen.
29:18I like the undies.
29:19Oh, these are not undies, girl.
29:21These are called boxers.
29:22It's the same thing.
29:23Oh, is that what they say in Connecticut?
29:25It's a...
29:26We did it.
29:26We're here.
29:27She hit 15, baby!
29:28It's my quinceanera, bitch!
29:29Period!
29:33Oh!
29:39Make room for your MVP.
29:40Spell J-A-X.
29:43My name is Jax, and I'm the Simone Files of drag.
29:46I consider myself extremely competitive.
29:49I have been a competitive athlete my entire life.
29:51I was a junior Olympic diver, a gymnast, a competitive cheerleader.
29:54I am so excited to be here on RuPaul's Drag Race season 15.
29:58I have worked so hard in every aspect of this craft,
30:01and I'm ready to show the world what I got.
30:03What?
30:04Watch out, Lil Jax!
30:06Hi, Mommy!
30:07Ow!
30:07Girl, you're giving me Bring It On.
30:09You're giving me Clovers.
30:10Gabrielle Union, Willow Smith.
30:11Let's go!
30:13Jax is banjy.
30:15She is athletic.
30:16She's also extremely preppy, because although she's a primarily New York City queen,
30:20she's here to remind you that she is from Connecticut at the end of the day.
30:23You never gave me your name.
30:24Uh, Amethyst.
30:25Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
30:26You do not have crystals on you, though.
30:27No, actually, I do have crystals on me.
30:29No!
30:29My mom gave this to me before I left.
30:31No way!
30:32I'm not spiritual or anything, but she was just like,
30:33if you have this on you...
30:34Is she?
30:35No, she's just, you know, white girl from Connecticut,
30:38and she's just like, here's a quartz.
30:39I'm from Connecticut.
30:40I'm adopted, and I'm from Connecticut.
30:42You're adopted?
30:43Yeah, half Puerto Rican, half black.
30:44Oh, yeah?
30:45Okay, you don't have me.
30:46She packing.
30:47She packing.
30:48You may be tiny, but she mighty, okay?
30:55Oh, Lucy, you've got some slaying to do.
30:58Oh!
31:01My name's Lucy LaDuca.
31:02I'm a construction worker by day and a drag queen at night.
31:05I go through a lot of duct tape.
31:07I'm known for my live singing, my quick wit, and my man hands.
31:11But you know what?
31:12The boys like them, so...
31:13I'm so happy.
31:14You know her?
31:15Connecticut queen.
31:16Oh, she's looking sporty.
31:17She's skinny, too.
31:19Immediately, I hear all the queens talking about my body,
31:23and I'm just thinking, yeah, girls, the body is here.
31:26Hey, girls!
31:27Hi, Mommy!
31:28Oh, bitch!
31:30Oh, my God.
31:31Lucy is one of the best hosts that we have in Connecticut.
31:34We go way back.
31:35I can't believe you're here.
31:36I can't believe you're here.
31:37Done drag for five seconds, and you're already here.
31:41I see Amethyst, and I see her outfit,
31:43and I thought, okay, I've seen it before,
31:45but it's nice to see it in the work room.
31:49So how long have you been doing drag?
31:50Two and a half years.
31:51Okay, work.
31:52Yeah, work.
31:52And what about you, Miss Lucy?
31:54I've done drag for 12 years.
31:56Yeah, Mommy.
31:57Wait until you see what I am going to bring to this competition.
32:01I can't wait to show the world what I have to offer.
32:08Oh, wow.
32:11Don't be fooled.
32:12The camera adds 10 pounds.
32:14My name is Mistress Isabelle Brooks,
32:16and I am the heavyweight champ from Houston, Texas.
32:18Yes, a big girl!
32:20A big girl?
32:21Where?
32:22My drag style is big, beautiful, and glamorous.
32:25I'm not afraid to experiment with different silhouettes.
32:28I'm going to look sexy and make you eat it, bitch.
32:30Look at those titties.
32:31Look at those heels.
32:33What heels?
32:34Exactly.
32:35Okay, biscuit heel, I see you.
32:39It's the tiniest little shoe I've ever seen in my life.
32:42Okay, bitches, it's game time.
32:43It's all funny games till I come through.
32:46Let me at them, bitch.
32:47I'm ready.
32:47Hi, Mommy!
32:48Uh-uh, I heard y'all bitches talk about my little kitten heels.
32:52Y'all know these fat bitches be breaking their ankle every season,
32:55so I had to make sure I was safe with the one hand.
32:56There he is!
32:57There he is.
32:59Nice to meet you.
33:00You are what's your name?
33:01Mistress.
33:01Mistress?
33:02Mistress Isabelle Brooks.
33:03It's a long Texas name.
33:04Can I just call you Mistress?
33:05Mistress is fine.
33:08What is this, honey?
33:10It's called drag, bitch.
33:11You're giving me very prison, Selena Quintanilla.
33:15Check the wrist tap, bitch.
33:17Okay, well, I'll be Yolanda this season, okay, baby?
33:20She called herself Yolanda.
33:22Who wants to be Yolanda?
33:24I'm sizing everyone up.
33:25I'm going to have to whoop first.
33:26I feel that from you.
33:27Next queen, please.
33:28Next queen.
33:29I'm ready to take the next one.
33:30Okay.
33:31I'm living because she just embodies that down south drag.
33:36Drag is here.
33:37You want to drag, baby?
33:38Here it is.
33:45Mirror, mirror on the wall.
33:48Who's the fiercest queen of them all?
33:52It's me.
33:54I'm Robin Fierce, Connecticut's grand diva, darling.
33:57I'm like if Diane Carroll, Mariah Carey, and Beyonce had a baby.
34:01Hi, hello.
34:02That's me.
34:04She is hot, bitch.
34:05Damn.
34:06Now we got RuPaul's Drag Race Connecticut, apparently.
34:08Oh, is she from Connecticut, too?
34:09Yes.
34:12So who's working in Connecticut right now, then?
34:15No.
34:20No, bitch, get over here.
34:21Oh, my God.
34:23Robin Fierce is a light that shines very brightly,
34:25and everybody comes like a moth to a flame, my darling.
34:28It's the confidence, the regalness, just that bad bitchery.
34:32It's safe to say I know Robin better than anybody else in this competition.
34:38So yeah, we have a little past.
34:41If Amethyst would like to tell y'all, I will let her do that.
34:45People at home, don't try to ship us.
34:47I'm not having it.
34:48I will block you.
34:50Robin, tell me about your drag, because this is baby.
34:53I think that is my drag, just baby.
34:57Robin's lace was reflected from the duct tape under the cap.
35:00Prep is everything in drag.
35:01She should have wore a wig cap.
35:03Vinyl duct tape with all the lighting was a no-no, baby.
35:05I cannot believe you're wearing a nail.
35:07I've never seen a nail on this girl.
35:08Lies.
35:09Liza Minnelli, she wears nails.
35:11Don't believe this lying asshole.
35:13Go home, Lucy.
35:14No, I don't plan on going home the whole time.
35:17We'll see.
35:20What?
35:22Are there two of them?
35:22There's two of them.
35:23Are they twins?
35:24Well, this doesn't look like the toy store.
35:26Sweetie, that was my line.
35:28Whatever.
35:31What in the Maria, Kate, and Ashley's going on?
35:34I'm Sugar.
35:35I'm Spice.
35:35And we're the dolls that came to life.
35:38You might know us as a duo on TikTok,
35:40but here we're each sold separately,
35:42and we're competing against each other.
35:44So bye, bitch.
35:45Get out of my frame.
35:47They're from TikTok land.
35:48I know them.
35:49I've seen Sugar and Spice on TikTok.
35:51These girls are coming for my gig.
35:53They look like Romy and Michelle on an acid trip.
35:56The first twins walking in on Drag Race,
35:57it's about to be the gag of the century.
35:59We're just ready to shake these girlies up,
36:00because that's what we do best.
36:05When the twins walk in, I gagged.
36:08I think they're very annoying,
36:09because it's like, oh, baby.
36:11I'm just like.
36:13So first week's going to be a double elimination.
36:15Oh, OK.
36:16Oh, my god.
36:19So me and Spice started doing drag on social media.
36:21We have accumulated 7 million followers on TikTok.
36:25Did any of y'all recognize us from TikTok?
36:26I did, yeah.
36:28No.
36:29I do know them, but I'm not going to give them
36:31the satisfaction that I do.
36:33Never heard of you, baby.
36:35Girls, I'm stuck in my childhood forever,
36:37so that's why we're life-size dolls.
36:38Like, hi, I'm Spice.
36:40I'm a doll.
36:41I'm plastic.
36:42That's scary.
36:43It's like Chucky to Annabelle.
36:44I know.
36:45I'll be the Chucky of drag.
36:46And I'm like the plastic, like, fun, like, Barbie,
36:49you know, just the prettier one.
36:50Well, we always say she's kind of like Regina George,
36:52and I'm Janice Ian, you know?
36:53Is this what you do on TikTok?
36:54Y'all, like, rehearse lines,
36:55and then you just say all your lines all the time?
36:58Honestly, our names are Sugar and Spice,
36:59but we should really just be called Canned and Bit.
37:01Yeah, we have so many bits, and they're so canned.
37:03Like, we have all the good bits.
37:05It's a lot.
37:06It's a lot.
37:06It's a lot.
37:08I'm swiping.
37:09I don't want to see it anymore.
37:10Keep going.
37:10Next, next, next.
37:12But where are you guys from?
37:13We're from Long Island, New York.
37:16But we just moved to L.A. a couple months ago.
37:18You did?
37:20Where do you perform?
37:22In our room.
37:23Oh, I thought so.
37:24I've never seen you hoes.
37:25Did you guys, like, do, like, more performance shows
37:27when you were back home,
37:28or have you guys been more, like...
37:30We have done some performances.
37:31We have done one or two performances,
37:33and they were a nightmare.
37:34So y'all don't perform and, like, do actual drag?
37:37Yeah, it's a drag competition, baby.
37:39I'm used to other drag queens
37:40not really seeing me as a quote-unquote drag queen.
37:43But I definitely want to change that misconception.
37:45I'm dying to be a part of a drag community,
37:47and I'm hoping here I'll be able to make friends,
37:49and we can just go home and bake a big drag queen pie,
37:52and we can all live happily ever after.
37:54Wait, so is this everyone?
37:55I feel like there's only half of us here so far.
37:57Guys, do you think that they're going to do, like,
37:58the split premiere thing?
38:00What if the other girls already came,
38:01and we're, like, the second batch?
38:03No, but there would have been stuff in here, though.
38:04I was literally just thinking that.
38:06Yeah, no, I look too clean.
38:07It's 2015.
38:08Something has to be up.
38:13Ornateia?
38:14There's another one.
38:15What is going on?
38:17Is Vivacious coming back to compete?
38:19I'm so confused.
38:21What's happening?
38:23Milk it, girl, milk it.
38:24Reveal, reveal, reveal.
38:26No, wait, no.
38:30Mother has arrived.
38:33Vivacious, in the flesh.
38:35Are we doing an early out season?
38:37No, really.
38:38Mother has arrived.
38:40Look over there.
38:44Hello, hello, hello.
38:48I am gagged to finally see RuPaul in person.
38:54It's happening.
38:55It's happening.
38:56I'm feeling the feel.
38:57Welcome to RuPaul's Drag Race season 15.
39:02Now, in honor of Vivacious, Ornateia,
39:05and all the queens who have come before you,
39:08I'm counting on each of you to take us to new heights
39:11of drag excellence.
39:12Are you up for the challenge?
39:14Hell yeah.
39:15And Vivacious, I hear you're going to hang out with us today.
39:19Lies.
39:20Lies on my nally.
39:21Lies.
39:23Well, I hate to see you leave,
39:25but I love to watch you walk away.
39:27Vivacious, show these children how it is done.
39:31Anything for you, mother.
39:40Mother has departed.
39:43Now, for your very first mini challenge,
39:46we're going to go back to our roots.
39:49All you have to do is strike a pose and blow me away.
39:57Good luck.
39:58And don't f*** it up.
40:00I love taking photos, so I'm like,
40:03thank God, something I can do.
40:04I just have to stand there and look pretty, you know?
40:06Let's start the season off with a bang.
40:08These are my favorite outfits that the pit crew has ever worn.
40:11It's the shoes.
40:12Yeah.
40:14Trend alert, Selena S. Kitties.
40:18Hi.
40:19Hello.
40:20Hi, Pia Baru.
40:21Inspired by the season two premiere photo shoot,
40:24get ready to be thrown away.
40:28We are trading cannons for crotch rockets.
40:31Speaking of crotch rockets,
40:33say hello to the new head of the crew,
40:35Speaking of crotch rockets,
40:37say hello to the pit crew.
40:38Hi, Patty.
40:40Assume the position, straddle that hog.
40:43Not that hog, the other one.
40:45Yeah.
40:46Baby, it feels so amazing that I get to be a part of the legacy.
40:49Okay, we are here.
40:50Season 15, the quinceanera, baby.
40:52Let's go.
40:53The important thing is to connect with the camera
40:55no matter what happens.
40:57You want to make love to it.
40:58We are looking for a fabulous shot.
41:01All right.
41:01Make room for Bruno.
41:03Fan setting one.
41:04There we go.
41:05There we go.
41:06Okay.
41:06Faster, pussycat.
41:08Hill, hill.
41:09Hierography, honey.
41:10I feel like a model.
41:11I am just living in the wind.
41:13And I hear RuPaul go,
41:14Connect with the camera.
41:15And I'm like, am I not connecting with the camera?
41:17Because I'm connecting with Bruno, bitch.
41:20I am living.
41:21Bruno, look out for those trees.
41:23Okay, we can do this made fully.
41:24Oh, okay.
41:27Full tilt boogie.
41:28You ready, Bruno?
41:29I don't around.
41:31We're going to beat this traffic.
41:35I will see you in traffic school.
41:39Hey, sis.
41:40It's Amethyst.
41:43Put on your seatbelt.
41:46Here comes Oktoberfest.
41:48Hey, remember the camera's over here.
41:50It's really hard to concentrate,
41:52especially when leads are being thrown at you.
41:54And I am quite literally eating them.
41:57Oh my goodness.
42:00Turn it up to 11.
42:01Hold on tight.
42:03Yes.
42:05Watch out for that bus.
42:08All right, Jax.
42:09I think you're approaching the rose parade.
42:13Yeah, whip that hair.
42:15Yeah.
42:15I am so excited to be paying homage
42:18to season two of Drag Race.
42:20You have ass to ass.
42:23I'm thinking I did pretty good in this challenge.
42:26However, I could have been feeling myself
42:28but looking like a bum.
42:29Who's driving this thing?
42:31Oh, look out for those pedestrians.
42:34Paging Mistress Isabel Brooks.
42:38It looks like you're heading up on a flock of seagulls.
42:41Oh, dear.
42:43Are you a bird lady?
42:46My eyelashes are blowing, my wig is shifting,
42:48and bitch, all three of my chins are jiggling.
42:51But I'm like, bitch, I'm going to still shut it down.
42:53Yes, mama.
42:57Houston, we don't have a problem.
43:00We don't have a problem.
43:02Lucy LaDuca.
43:04Have you ever ridden a motorcycle before?
43:06Um, I've ridden a biker before.
43:08Okay, well, that counts.
43:09I am ready to blow Miss RuPaul away.
43:12You can grab tighter.
43:14And look, they brought my biggest fan.
43:17Oh, my goodness, Bryce.
43:19You're holding on for dear life.
43:21Oh, you just flew through a flock of birds.
43:23Sell me the fantasy.
43:25Where do all these birds come from?
43:31Where's Tippi Hedren when you need her?
43:34Up next, we've got the Robin Fierce.
43:37Yes, burn rubber.
43:38You look like Melba Moore up in here.
43:40I know how to take pictures.
43:41I know I look good.
43:42Like, it's a shoo-in.
43:44Why do feathers got to be white?
43:47Feathers.
43:48They decided to throw feathers at me the day that I wore gloss.
43:52Oh, shoot.
43:55Why do they got to be black?
43:58And they all are sticking to my lips right now.
44:02Oh, girl.
44:03And you've got a beard now.
44:04You got to take those off.
44:05Oh, now they red.
44:06Oh, shoot.
44:10This must be a sign of the apocalypse.
44:13I got to tell you, wig glue has really improved since season two.
44:19That was definitely something.
44:22Ah!
44:24So what did y'all think about the twins when they first walked in?
44:27I thought it was kind of sickening that two people walking in at the same time.
44:30I gagged, but then I wasn't gagging when I saw who it was.
44:32And we saw that on your face the whole time, girl.
44:36Well, you know, don't play in my profession, bitch.
44:39Drag is my bread and butter, so.
44:41They're very sweet.
44:42If I had to tell her to glue down her wig for the first challenge, it's a chop for me.
44:46Yeah.
44:47Right before the photo shoot, my eyes scroll to the top of her head,
44:50and her lace is waving to me.
44:52I'll help her, though.
44:52I'm not going to talk s***, but, you know.
44:54You're not going to talk s*** as you're talking s***.
44:56But I helped her, though.
44:58I fixed her wig for her, and I helped her.
45:01With Sugar, she had no idea what wig glue is,
45:03but I'm not really surprised considering I'm the first real drag queen she's met.
45:07It's a sisterhood regardless.
45:09No, you have to earn my sisterhood.
45:10I don't just call everyone my sister.
45:12It's cool to be, like, internet queen.
45:14Yeah.
45:14But maybe they'll show us that they're sickening.
45:16Seeing is believing with me.
45:17When I see it, I'll believe it.
45:20All right.
45:21Let's pour some sugar on it.
45:24Nice.
45:25On the arms.
45:26Yeah, try that hairography on them.
45:28Oh, yeah.
45:29Honey, that motorcycle's driving itself.
45:32Oh, no, it's snow.
45:34Don't spit.
45:35Just swallow it.
45:38Are you having a seizure?
45:42Oh, my goodness.
45:43I'm trying to stick to my modeling rules of
45:45suck in the gut, stick out the butt, and tighten that tush.
45:48This look is based on the first ever bra style I had.
45:50Sugar and Spice, our names literally come from these dolls.
45:54I heard Bryce has dandruff, but this is outrageous.
45:57Well, that was a wild ride.
45:59Is the wig still on?
46:01Well, we've had Sugar.
46:02Let's have a little bit of Spice.
46:05Hello.
46:06I'm a little scared because I'm like,
46:07I didn't really pin this wig in that well,
46:09but a drag princess always comes prepared.
46:11I got my little shower cap.
46:13Oh, interesting.
46:14Yeah.
46:15You know, Spice always has to be a little different,
46:17and you can't go wrong with a shower cap.
46:19Do we like? Are we living?
46:20So you want to do hairography with the shower cap?
46:23Of course.
46:24That's an interesting choice.
46:25You know, I think the shower cap, it's cute.
46:27It adds a little drama, a little variety.
46:30You could imagine how gorgeous your hair would look
46:32with the fan blowing, right?
46:34But you want to wear a shower cap,
46:36and that's your choice, so let's go.
46:39Absolutely.
46:39I've been ready for this my whole life.
46:43Like, this is the moment I have been waiting for.
46:45It's kind of like my mini America's Next Top Model moment.
46:48Work that shower cap, girl.
46:52Oh, is it springtime already?
46:54Oh, it's a change of seasons.
46:56Don't you love the fall?
46:57I love the fall.
46:59Oh my goodness.
47:02So you certainly are Sugar's sister.
47:06Climate change is a problem.
47:08I believe in science.
47:12Whose idea was this?
47:16Hello.
47:18Y'all like my new look?
47:19What happened to your wig, girl?
47:20Oh, her wig flew.
47:23Vice is coming back in after her photo shoot,
47:25looking like Donald Duck with the hat on.
47:27Oh my god.
47:28Bitch, you look crazy.
47:31Y'all look so different out of drag.
47:33Whoa.
47:33I can't recognize half of these girls.
47:35I'm like, who is this tattooed man in the corner?
47:38Oh, that's Lucy.
47:39The tattoos, I did not expect that from your blonde persona.
47:42Yeah, it's like super different.
47:44Now I'm seeing the construction work.
47:47Oh my god, wow, you look...
47:48What?
47:49I think you were like blonde.
47:50Wow.
47:51Is this all your natural hair too?
47:53Mistress is the biggest transformation.
47:56She goes from this glamorous Houston drag queen
47:58to the owner of a pizzeria.
48:01That was so mean.
48:04Listen, before y'all got here, I was like,
48:07I'm curious to see what the twins are going to bring,
48:09because a lot of people audition year after year after year.
48:11So for y'all to come through, I feel like,
48:14bitch, I better impress.
48:16I'm excited.
48:17Yeah, I'm excited to see what y'all bring to the table too.
48:19For sure, yeah.
48:20Mistress is definitely...
48:22I need to go down.
48:24She's trying to get into the gig,
48:25and she's collecting her data.
48:27It's very different for me to be around people this young,
48:29even though I'm young.
48:30No, really, in Houston,
48:32most of our established queens are much older.
48:34We work with drag legends on the regular shows.
48:36We work with Tommy Ross, Chevelle Brooks, big names.
48:38So I mean, I respect older queens.
48:40I love my drag legends, especially in Texas.
48:44If everyone had to describe themselves in one adjective,
48:47what would it be?
48:48Because for me...
48:48Bitch, what is this?
48:49Icebreakers in seventh grade?
48:50No, because you said I was goofy,
48:52and the other day, I was talking to myself, as we do,
48:55and I was like, oh my God, I'm goofy.
48:59I've realized, words come out,
49:01and then after I put them together,
49:04I don't really know what happens,
49:05just after the fact, I'm like, okay, that makes a sentence.
49:07Sugar and spice are a lot.
49:09We are like, damn, they are the same in and out of drag.
49:12It just won't stop, won't it?
49:14I feel like everyone's either a bike ride person
49:16or a porch person, like you're either one.
49:17I'm a porch person.
49:19I'm both.
49:20When me and Sugar start getting into our own little world,
49:22and I'm like, okay, we're talking over each other.
49:24It's like, where's the vomit?
49:25But we would always go on bike rides.
49:26We had magical bike rides.
49:29I think some of the girls still feel annoyed by sugar and spice.
49:32We had just came out, and I was like,
49:33I'm regaining all of our dolls.
49:34But I'm starting to warm up to them.
49:36Sugar and spice are a hoot.
49:38I think we move on from that one.
49:40Don't leave us to our own devices.
49:42Y'all get distracted, because y'all are making no sense at all.
49:46Well, look what the wind blew in.
49:50Oh, I'm not running, bitch.
49:52I'm a tiptoe.
49:54Ladykins, the winner of today's mini challenge is...
50:00Lucy LaDuca.
50:04It's me!
50:05I won!
50:06I won the very first challenge.
50:08You've won a cash prize of $2,500.
50:12I want to win everything.
50:14I want to be the first one in history
50:16to win every mini challenge and every maxi challenge.
50:20My queens, now it's time to get things rolling.
50:23For your very first maxi challenge,
50:26you'll be performing in a talent extravaganza.
50:29We're calling One Night Only.
50:34In addition to showcasing your individual talents,
50:39you need to choreograph a group number
50:42for your big, juicy opening.
50:45And in a moment, you'll head to the rehearsal studio
50:48to get started.
50:50Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
50:54I'm very excited because I finally get to see
50:57what the girls are going to bring.
51:02Now you have to put your money where your mouth is
51:03and do what you do and just show the world and impress.
51:08I think we should all have a moment like,
51:10am I the greatest star?
51:14Cute.
51:14The fact that we have to do choreography
51:16for our first challenge is a little bit nerve-wracking,
51:18but I'm starting to feel like
51:20we're actually going to impress the judges with this stuff.
51:22Five, six, seven, eight.
51:23Tonight, tonight, one night only.
51:31Oh my god, it's RuPaul.
51:34Why is RuPaul here?
51:36Hi, ladykins.
51:38Ru, not now, don't.
51:39Just let me get the choreography first
51:41before you start throwing spins and turns on me.
51:45Do you know what would make your big opening
51:47even more irresistible?
51:50Take it from me.
51:51I know my way around some big openings.
51:56Eight more dancers.
52:00Isn't that a great idea?
52:02Send in the clowns, Chaz.
52:10Queens of season 15, meet the queens of season 15.
52:14Oh my god.
52:15I did not expect this to happen right now.
52:17I was fully focused on this rehearsal,
52:19and there they are.
52:21Oh, not this.
52:25I'm not impressed.
52:28It's like a showdown.
52:29I'm scared.
52:33All right.
52:39That's right.
52:40All of you are vying for the title
52:43of America's next drag superstar.
52:45And the competition kicks off tomorrow
52:48at the biggest talent show in drag race history.
52:5316 individual performances.
52:57But before this week is over,
53:00one of you will be going home.
53:05For reals.
53:10This isn't like last season where
53:12no one went home for weeks.
53:13Like, we are getting to the point right away.
53:15Like, someone is getting the job.
53:17I can already tell there are some divas over there
53:19who are here to play.
53:21How am I going to stand out amongst all these girls?
53:24We can't even choreograph this number with eight people.
53:2716?
53:28You ever hear the old joke of 16 drag queens
53:31walking to a bar?
53:34I haven't either.
53:35But I don't think it ends very well.
