## **Episode Recaps**

### Episode 1 - Ru's Double Feature: The Day Ball

**Episode Recap:**

Maya Hook enters the room donned in chains and leather. Hanging on her belt are dolls dressed like The Ripper, Claudette, Yasmeen Dupree, Crystal Queerly Glass, Malaria Heaven St Frostfur. “I’m here to slay.”

*Maya Hook: “Hi Losers. I’m back.” Maya smirks. “If you don’t know who I am, I’m the first robbed bitch from the very first season. I’m your murder babe, here to prove why I deserve to win. I came in season 1 a weak 21-year-old, and I got lost. I never really gained the opportunity to tour the world, do any of that fun stuff… But I did improve my drag. I am a Queen who’s inspired by the Dark, Serial Killers, Leather and 90s Notions of Witchcraft. My mug… is unbeatable, and I’m here to prove I am a winner.”*

“It’s time… for some MAGIC!” Katanna appears in a magic cloud and snaps her fingers. A bouquet appears. “Truly.” She’s dressed in Gothic Ringmaster Flair with a Modern Twist.

*Katanna: “Hello Virtual Fans! I am Katanna, your Mixed Race Magician Drag Superstar. I think the best way to describe myself is a Modern Goth Drag Star with East Asian Influences. I’m a trained magician, I am an actual member of the International Magician Society. I am a crafty Queen who loves incorporate my aesthetic into everything I do. I guess you can say… Prop Queen!”*

*Maya Hook: “Oh lord. She looks like one polished Gothy Queen. Am I being tested?”*

“Woah, Maya Hook?!” Katanna gasps. “I can’t believe…”

“I’m back….” Maya smiles. “Loving the aesthetic.”

“I mean, you’re an inspiration. I loved you YEARS ago. And look at you now! That same charm.”

“But better than last time.” Maya winks. "Underestimation is usually wrong."

"Oh, I didn't mean..." Katanna looks awkward.

“Let’s Kick This Into High Gear.” Miss Thang jumps into the air and kicks, landing in a death drop. Maya and Katanna both gasp. Miss Thang is dressed like Naomi Campbell straight out of a Victoria’s Secret Show from the 90s. This is a Queen with attitude.

*“Oh hey there. It’s Miss Thaaaang.” Miss Thang grins, her slight country twang noticeable. “I’m Miss Thang, your Gorgeous Beauty. I’m just… a Star.” Miss Thang smiles and glitters on her confessional. “Main thing is performing. I love to Slay and Rap. I’m obsessed with the 1990s as a Fashion Stand-Point, with being Chic and Elegant always the attitude. I’m here to just perform the hell out of this season really. I know I have the Charisma to make it.”*

*Katanna: “She looks fierce.”*

“Anyone feel like Tang?” Sunny D cackles as she walks out of the Werkroom dressed in Bright Orange, Straight Out… of the 1990s.

Miss Thang and Sunny D lock eyes.

*Sunny D: “It’s another Juicy Queen! Hi All, the names is Sunny D, and I’m here to give you all the great joy that comes from being a DRAG QUEEN! If you can’t tell, I’m the Daughter of Season 3 Finalist, Juice. Like her, I’m a Strong Mix of 90s RnB Groups and 1990s Fashion. I’m a performer and sewing Queen. The big difference from my mom is probably my gymnastic talents, which I did for 10 years. I love to freak people out with my flexibility. And it helps my legs can go behind my head. Real talent, if you know what I mean.” Sunny D cackles.*

“Oh, we got a clone!” Maya Hook smirks. “Miss Thang, your twin is here!”

Miss Thang tenses up. She walks over to Sunny. “Miss Thang. You are?”

Sunny D smiles. “Sunny!”

“Cute.” Miss Thang grins. “Looking forward to seeing what you can do.”

*Katannna: “Awkward… Someone’s posturing…”*

“Beautiful Gowns…” Urethra Ranklin walks out looking ultra grungy and edgy. “Not so beautiful Queens.” Urethra laughs.

*Urethra Ranklin: “The World’s #1 Aretha Impersonator is here! I’m Urethra. Now I know what you thinking… this dirty ass Queen? Aretha Franklin? But that’s the exact point. I’m a professional Drag Queen impersonator and Host, Actress and pretty dang funny, if I do say myself. Of course, I love to do Aretha, but I love to switch it up and really play the role of something completely different and be the dark edgy Queen I am. This is so damn exciting!”.*

“Hey, you beautiful, beautiful drag Queens!” Urethra smiles. “I’m Urethra… and you.. you’re Maya Hook!”

Maya smiles. “Yes, I’m back…. And… Urethra?”

Urethra laughs. “Yup. Aretha impersonator extraordinaire.”

“Wait... Aretha?” Miss Thang looks confused.

“Yup. You’ll see.” Urethra smiles.

*Urethra Ranklin:” Underestimated is the best place to be.”*

Seondeok throws a Crown onto the ground. She then strolls in, looking like a Royal Red Carpet Queen of the East. “I’ll just pick this up…” Seondeok takes up the crown and puts it on her head. “It fits!”

*Seondeok: “It’s time for a Twink Winner!” Seondeok smiles. “Hi all…. I am Seon. I feel like I don’t need to even talk through this thing… I want my look to stand for itself. But I mean, this whole point is introducing yourself so… hey. I’m Seon, your Korean Royal Drag Queen. I know what you are thinking… what is this little twink doing here and how does he look like this in Drag? Well, Drag is My Superpower. I am a master designer and someone who loves to think through things and execute at a high level. I’m Inspired by East Asian Royalty with a High Fashion Edge. Henny… I’m just here to have fun!”*

“Gagging at this BEAUTY!” Sunny D smiles. “Hi!”

“Hey! Thank you!” Seondeok smiles.

"I’M A MOTHER FUCKING MONSTER!” Melanie Minaj stuns in a tightly cinched red dress and look red hair. It looks oddly familiar...

*Melanie Minaj: “Yo. It’s your body cinched, sexy and stunning Queen Melanie. You’d recognise me from Season 2, where I was that bitch who went home first. I’m here with better lip sync skills, better performing ability, and the ability to charm your pants off.” Melanie winks.*

“Not just one returning Queen is it...” Miss Thang looks at Maya.

**YOU’VE GOT RUMAIL!**

“Oh lord.” Urethra exhales. “There’s only 7...”

“Split Premiere,” Katanna whispers to herself.

**My First 7... The Morning Brings Light, the Sun... Fresh Air... and best of all, Daytime Drag.**

“We get a mysterious ru-mail message! YAY!” Sunny D grins.

**Hello Hello Hello!**

**My first 7! Welcome to the first half of the premiere. 2 of you are coming back with another shot- neither of you raised to the heights other contestants in your season have. And the other 5... well, you’re half of the best Drag Stars in all of America.**

*Miss Thang: "There's less 'new' Queens this season, which means the pool of Queens is even smaller... so it's a TIGHT GROUP."*

**Now you are probably wondering... what are we staring with? Well... a Ball of Course!**

*Seaondeok: "YES! A Ball is exactly my kind of talent. This is the best way to start this season off."*

**This week's Ball is the Day Ball! You'll be giving three distinct looks...**

**Pretty in The Park Picnic Realness**

**Beachside Beauty**

**and... Using Literal Light Bulbs, Ray of Light Eleganza Extravanganza!**

*Sunny D: "I love something bright and stunning. This is something I can do, I KNOW I can!"*

~

The Queens are chatting in the werkroom.

Melanie and Maya are sitting together. "I can't believe we are both back!" Melanie smiles. "I'm so dang happy to be back."

"Yeah, it's great. I have someone like myself in this season... I'm not the only one who stands out and is special anymore..." Maya responds, clearly agitated. "Great, right." She responds sounding monotone.

"I'm going to go sit with Sunny." Melanie smiles.

"Good idea."

*Maya Hook: "I'm just aware that this is my only shot for redemption, and I have to stand out. Especially with another returning Queen. It's going to be a tough challenge."*

Seondeok and Katanna are sitting together. "It's great to see you out of Drag. It's a wild dichotomy..." Katanna raises her hands. "Like, you look totally different!"

Seondeok purses her lips. "I love a transformation. I mean, Drag is what I feel like my Superhero Form is."

Katanna nods. "Same. It's me at my best. How are you feeling for this challenge Seon?"

"I'm so excited... It's going to be GREAT."

**Judge's Decisions**

**The Light is Shining, My First 7 are here!**

**You all did great. However...**

**Melanie Minaj, Katanna, Maya Hook... you are safe.**

*Melanie Minaj: "Oh baby. I did it."*

The Queens untuck...

"So we both did the unthinkable. Survived the first episode.." Melanie dances around. "I'm not first out, baby!"

Katanna gets up and dances with Melanie. "Yes!"

Maya plays with her nails. "Would've loved being in the Top though. Interesting there's not 3 high Queens this week." She looks at the other two. "I think it would've been me there."

*Katanna: "Not a huge fan of this attitude. I mean, you went home first on the first episode of this series! Be happy you aren't an early out!"*

"We all did really good." Melanie smiles. "Dance challenge, next please.." She fakes prays.

"I'd love a talent show." Katanna smiles. "I'm just so happy to be here and get a shot."

"I'm looking forward to seeing this lip sync..." Maya smirks. "Gonna be lots of fun."

~

**Urethra Franklin, we see a lot of attitude and flair, but there's something... a little crunchy.**

*Urethra: "I don't think of myself as a crunchy Queen. But.. it's clear I need to make the dichotomy between my Drag Styles clearer... earlier."*

**Miss Thang, you got something... killer. But your looks in comparison to the rest.. failed to hit the mark.**

**Normally, you two would be lip syncing. However...**

*Miss Thang: "What the hell...."*

**Sunny D, your looks were a bright spot this week.**

**Seondeok, your point of view is IMMDEAITLY clear. Your Light Eleganza... Just wow.**

**Condragulations, you are both the Winners of this week's challenge. You be lipsyncing for your legacy, $10,000, and the title of the FIRST Top Drag Performer of this season. That's right... no one is going home this week.**

Sunny D jumps. "YES!"

**All 7 of you will get to meet the other 7. But this comes with Consequences... This Season, there will be no returning Queens challenges... and no double shantays. No. Second. Chances.**

*Maya Hook: "Of course! Great! No Second Chances! I still can be the first out! Fantastic."*

**Urethra, Miss Thang. You are safe. Consider this your warning.**

**Two Queens stand before me. Sunny D and Seondeok, you will be lip-syncing to 'Blinding Lights' by the Weeknd and the status of the FIRST Top Queen of the season. Good luck... and don't fuck it up.**

*Seondeok: "I'm so excited to have won the first challenge. Now I can perform and not worry about survival. This is about being myself and having fun. I'm excited."*

*Sunny D: "I am SO happy. This feels great, and I'm ready to show the world that I'm not just a bright Queen... I'm a helluva performer! Let's do this!*"

Seondeok puts in a lot of grace and beauty. She's strong- powerful energy as the lip syncs every single word. But Sunny D keeps building and building; she pulls out ALL the stops- she's moving, high energy and whips out some sick gymnastic skills. It's a strong performance.

**Sunny D, Condragulations you are the Top Queen of this WEEK!**

*Sunny D: "I did it! First Challenge done! This is a great start to the season."*

**Seodeok, well done this week. You're safe.**

*Seondeok: "Sunny D is an ASSASSIN in the making. I'm lucky it wasn't a lip sync for your life."*

**My First 7... It's time to head to be and relax. The other contestants... will be seeing you soon.**

~

### Episode 2 - Ru's Double Feature: The Night Ball

**Episode Recap:**

The Lights in the Werkroom go out. It's a lot darker, mysterious...

Vitalia Envy walks in smiling in a high-fashion outfit that looks like a burst piece of gum. “Guess the bubbles burst.”

The Werkroom is dark, with only candles lighting up the werkroom.

“Woah.”

*Vitalia Envy: “Hi All You Cool Cats and Kittens, I’m Back! I’m your Bio-Queen beauty, here to have a 2nd chance! I was the first eliminated Queen last Season, and I took it pretty harshly. I’m back again to prove my drag talents, sewing and hosting my way to the Top!”*

Vitalia looks around. “Why does it look like it’s 9 O’Clock at Night?”

“Oh… my I’m…. Glitching Out…” In walks Cyrus, who towers into the workroom looking as if she’s holding her head in her hands. “Darn glitches.”

“Woah… again.” Vitalia gasps.

*Cyrus: “Oh hey, It’s another Kunt.” Cyrus smiles. “I’m Cyrus, and I come from the house of Kunt, compromised of P0yzon, C-$alt and Indigo to Hell, so you KNOW I do the looks. I’m a Special Effects Artist by Trade, so I LOVE to torture by doing HUGE tasks such as intricate designs or… even looking like a video game glitch.” Cyrus smirks. “Unlike my sisters though, I am a bit more proficient in the comedic and acting fields. I also love to well… massacre whoever I’m performing against with some cool tricks. I’m here to Serve.”*

“Oh, you look startling familiar..” Cyrus shakes hands with. “Charmed to meet you, I’m Cyrus.”

“Oh... you look familiar..” Vitalia purses her lips. “Hmm.. I thi-“

“I’m from the same house as your season 5 sister, Indigo.”

*Vitalia: “Oh lord. We have a THREAT here..”*

“Where’s the Queens in need of a makeover….” Mai Clee Toriss walks in holding a full makeup set, looking like a very feminine pageant beauty. “Oh, look there’s two peasants!”

*Mai Clee Toriss: “What’s up! I’m Mai Clee, Orginially from Toronto Canada but now residing in New York City, baby! I am a pageant beauty who ALWAYS looks like a true woman. Because I love feeling like a woman! I am a Drag Queen of course! I am a Beauty, first and foremost. I love to play up this mean girl, bitchy attitude in Drag… I guess you can say I’m a Actor as well. I’m here to continue to trend of stunning pageant winners.”*

“Who are you calling peasant?” Cyrus looks at Mai.

“Oh, you dearie!” Mai giggles and drops their voice. “Only playing. You both look gorgeous! I am Mai Clee Toriss.. and you are?”

“Cyrus… and this is…”

“VITALIA!” Mai smiles. “Welcome back! You had me crying last season when you got eliminated. I died.”

*Vitalia Envy: “Mai Clee seems really sweet. That switch from bitchy to nice quickly gave me an insight into her very quickly. She seems like a strong actress...”*

“Oh no…” Sophie Violet’s chest chicken cutlets full out of her shirt as she walks in. “Guess it won’t be fwsh for dinnew!” Sophie cackles and falls into the floor. “FISH CUTLETS… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” She laughs for a good minute before getting up.

Everyone is confused.

*Sophie Violet Cwumble: “The Cwinge Queen is hewe! I am Sophie, your cwinge icon. I know what you are thinking… the hell? EXACTLY! I’m a female drag artist who unwike othews who wike, the epitome of beauty, or camp, or horror… I AM CWINGE! I am hewe to make evewyone gasp in awks… I am a gwamorous scene kid, I am a dumpster diver. I’m hewe to just make evewyone Waugh…and suwpwise you all!” Sophie grins. “Ps…” She drops her voice very low… “I don’’ use the words R or L in Drag. That’s why I sound like that.” The veil is suddenly lifted again when she turns around. “OKAY!”*

“Ok… what is going on!” Cyrus raises his hands in the air.

“HIIIIIIIIIII!” Sophie smiles.

“OMG, Sophie!” Vitalia runs over. “So good to see you!”

*Vitalia Envy: “Sophie is a stunning female Drag artist. I am SO excited to have her here. She’s a real talent… or should I say weal tawent!”*

“Fly me to the Moon… Let’s me see the Stars..” Gemini Moon enters the room in a Bright Blue Jeweled Gown, his skin appearing to look like speckled starlight, and a bright blue beard. “Hello Beauties.”

*Gemini Moon: “Hello from Venus! I am Gemini Moon, your out-of this planet Drag King, Queen, Everything. I am a Queer Makeup Artist and Performer who lives to go out of the non-binary and do drag as a male presenting individual, as a female, or as neither. However, I am predominately a Drag King who loves to give you everything. Jewel Tone. Layers. Beards. Subltle Camp and a bit of skin as male-presenting. Female presenting… high fantasy. Regal. I’m very much an individual who loves to do things on my own. Self-Sufficient performer is the best way I’d describe myself.”*

“Wewcome to the Sistewhood!” Sophie beams. “A new fwiend, yay!”

*Cyrus: “Girl, the King looks AWKWARD AS FUCK. He has no idea what to do with Sophie. I can’t. It’s hilarious.”*

“Sure.” Gemini grits his teeth.

*Gemini Moon: “The number one thing I hate is.. fake. I’m not used to such a hyper-socialised environment. And this whole ‘we’re all friends kumbaya’ thing… Kinda Stinks.”*

A trumpet rings. Out struts King Darin Cornelius Raemilius III of the Royal Haus. He raises his hands in the air, and truly looks like a king from the 14th Century. “You may… bow.” Darin TOWERS over the other contestants.

*King Darin: “Hello. I am King Darin of the Royal House. Proud Transgender Male and Drag King. As you can tell... I love to embrace the royal theme. I am a designer and sewer with an impeccable taste for fashion. I am proficient historical wielder of weapons and Armor, and I am a Proud Mental Health Advocate. I am here as an high-quality actor and designer who is proud to be here and represent a fresh attitude of not necessarily…. Overly positive but being open and honest on my Quest to win the crown.”*

“Of course we have all the stunning looking Drag Performers this season.” Cyrus sits back and looks at Vitalia. “How do you feel?”

“What do you mean?” Vitalia looks confused.

“I mean, we’re in for a fight.” Cyrus crackers her knuckles.

“Ok, are we going to talk about why it’s so DARK in here?” Mai Clee exhales “I hate the dark.”.

Gemini smiles. “I like it like this.”

Nancy Doll enters the dressed like a living embodiment of the 2006 Highland Fling Barbie. “Anyone up for a Fling with this Silkstone?”

“TWO RETURNING QUEENS?!” Vitalia runs over to Nancy.

“If you can step back for a moment so I can pose…” Nancy smiles and Vitalia awkwardly steps back.

*Nancy Doll: “The Doll is back, and she’s a 25th Anniversary Reproduction Edition.” Nancy winks. “Hello from your Latina Queen! I’m Nancy, your first out from Season 4 of Virtual Drag Race. On my season, I never got to TRULY show off my sewing skills! I am a seamstress and I got eliminated in my very first challenge creating some atrocious look that was far too simplistic. I am here to give you an exaggerated impression of a woman... essentially, pure beauty and sex.”*

“God, you are one stunning Queen.” King Darin smiles.

“Why thank you…” Nancy extends her hand. “And you are?”

“King Darin.”

“Oh, I love a King!” Nancy smiles. “You know what they say though, you always need-“

“A Queen beside him.” Darin winks.

**YOU’VE GOT RU-MAIL!**

“Oh My Wooord.” Sophie Violet gasps. “Thewe is onwy 7 of us!”

“Split Premiere.” Gemini Moon looks at Sophie.

**My Drag Superstars. Sometimes… it’s in the dead of night when the best ideas come to us. Can you prove this theory?**

*"Mysterious.."King Darin looks excited. "This going to be fun..."*

**HELLO HELLO HELLO!**

**My Other... 7.**

"..Other... 7?" Nancy looks around. "We're not first?"

**The 7 of you are some of the best Drag Performers in America, and all have been hand-picked by myself to be in this season. We've already had 7 Performers enter the Werkroom last ball and compete in the 'Day Ball'... and now, it is time for the Night. Oh yes. We are starting with a BALL, DARLING!**

*Vitalia Envy: "I didn't get a shot to sew last time around. I am very excited to get the chance to do a whole BALL!"*

**There will be 3 categories for you all to prove yourself in the NIGHT BALL!**

**Evening Gala Best,**

**Late Night Rendezvous Realness,**

**and... using a combination of Vanta Black Spray Paint and lots of blankets... Wooly Warmth Evening Eleganza Extravaganza!**

*Nancy Doll: "This is a challenge that is perfect for myself. This is the redemption that I NEED, and i'm going to fight for it."*

~

The Contestants are in the Werkroom Mirrors, doing their makeup as they get ready for runway.

Gemini Moon and Cyrus are chatting.

"So, what are doing for this challenge?" Cyrus carefully paints. "I'm using my special effects skills for this wooly look. Think... Star Wars, Luke inside the guts of a woollen creature."

"That's insane." Gemini carefully puts a beard on. "I'm doing both boy and girl drag this week. Leading man... to hyper-sexy, hyper-fantastical model. A little bit of skin."

"I love that you can swap. It's something we haven't seen before."

"Drag is way for Queer people to play with, deconstruct and redefine gender roles. So why would I limit myself to one facet?" Gemini grins. "And sometimes, I have the self-confidence to show a lot of skin."

"I'm not a big fan of showing too much skin. I have this disorder... EDS." Cyrus sighs. "It affects my connective tissue... causes me pain and makes my skin just look... wrong. I feel like sometimes my skin just... doesn't look right as an effect. So I cover shit up. I don't want people to see the strange stuff."

*Gemini Moon: "At first I thought she was a bit too rough, but clearly Cyrus has a lot of history and... I had no idea. The fact he's looking like that with such a delibertating disorder... he's strong."*

...

Vitalia and King Darin are chatting.

"I love the variety of Drag this season." Vitalia smiles. "Bio Queens, Drag Kings, Drag Queens... People who are both."

"It's cool. I feel like one great thing about this contest is the inclusivity. All Drag is valid."

"Agreed." Vitalia smiles.

**Judges' Decisions**

**My Night Time Drag Stars... You all did well.**

**However...**

**Nancy Doll, Vitalia Envy, King Darin... you are all safe.**

Mai Clee waves as they walk off. "Later, safeeeeee people."

*Nancy Doll: "I really thought I killed this. It's such a shame.*

The 3 Performers untuck...

"So we survived a week." King Darin raises his glass. "To prospering in this competition!"

"I'm just so happy I made it through week one." Vitalia smiles. "That was the best part."

"I didn't want to just make it through week one." Nancy sighs. "I wanted to win it so badly."

"Well... there's 12 others weeks for you to win a challenge. I think you'll be fine." King Darin shrugs. "We just have to know that we are all talented and capable of winning. You just truly need to put the energy in."

"Agreed." Vitalia grins. "I mean, we are both first outs. So.. this is progress."

"Who's in the Top, and who's the bottom?" King Darin puts his hand on his chin. "My prediction is... Cyrus win, and Gemini high... and Sophie and Mai in the bottom."

"I'm surprised Mai is in the bottom. She looks so polished. I think there's something going on there." Nancy responds. "It's just...this whole facade is a bit... weird."

"I know a lot of people who fake things.. and sadly, I feel like she's faking... something." Vitalia sighs. "We just have to make sure we are open and honest from our own ends. The judges will not appreciate being fake."

*King Darin: "Sadly I have to agree about Mai. Something about this persona she's playing... she seems to be inhabiting the body of a character, not herself."*

~

**Mai Clee Torisss, you made one big mistake. You made us bored. These looks are all something seen before.**

*Mai Clee: "When the judges say i've made them bored, I get worried. I start hyperventilating, and like.. internally screaming. This is not good for week one."*

"I understand." Mai bows her head.

**Sophie Violet Cwumble.. you are a very interesting Queen, and I look forward to seeing what you can do. But these looks... not so good.**

*Sophie Violet: "They don't get it yet, but that's okay! I will show them who Sophie is."*

**Normally, you two would be lip-syncing. BUT...**

**Gemini Moon, you transitioned from Drag King to Queen in a matter of minutes. I don't know how, but you are clearly an amazing Visual Artist.**

**Cyrus.. you gave us next level looks and we're obsessed.**

**Condragulations, you are the Top Two of the Week. You will be lipsyncing for the title of the Top Queen of Week Two. This week... no one goes home.**

*Vitalia Envy: "This is GREAT. I feel like an extra week for everyone will really give people to show different facets of their drag."*

**Sophie, Mai... You are safe. Consider this your warning.**

**This means that Cyrus and Gemini Moon, you are the Top Two of the week, You will be lip syncing to 'The Night is Still Young' by Nicki Minaj. Good luck... and don't fuck it up.**

*Gemini Moon: "This is great. I've won the first challenge. This is about to be my victory lap."*

*Cyrus: "Mama Ru's giving me a treat giving me a rap song this week. All my Drag family have made their wins later in the game- I'm proving I will be competition from the start. This Lip Sync win will be my threat to the others."*

Gemini quickly starts off with a strong reveal and stuns with strong movements as they jump across the stage, pulling out tricks and very tightly lip syncing. Cyrus is in her own world and hits every single beat and moves as she embody's the song. You can feel the joy and fierce energy in Cyrus's performance. In this moment, she IS Nicki Minaj.

**Cyrus, Condragulations you are the Top Queen of the Week.**

*Cyrus: "What a start to this season. I'm ready to dominate the next 12 weeks."*

**Gemini, well done. You are safe.**

*Gemini Moon: "It's not winning, but it still kinda is. I still feel i've started off with an incredibly smart win."*

**Now... it's time for you all to meet your Drag siblings.**

"Let's do this." Vitalia smiles as she walks into the room with the other 6....

~

The Contestants enter the Werkroom...

"Hi Ladies." Miss Thang is playing with her nails as she enters the werkroom. "Ready for a battle?"

*Maya Hook: "I see Nancy and Vitalia walk in and I want to scream. ANOTHER TWO RETURNING QUEENS?!"*

The werkroom is tense. Everyone is quiet until..

"WE'RE THE CAST OF SEASON 6!" Sunny D cheers!

Suddenly there is chatter and interaction between everyone. They're all talking and chatting.

"So, who won the first challenge?" Cyrus smiles. "I won the second."

"ME!" Juice cheers. "I'm Sunny D, drag daughter to Juice."

"I'm Cryus, from the house of kunt." Cyrus smirks. "Seem the family Queens keep winning."

*Cyrus: "Meh. I don't see a huge threat, if we're being honest."*

Meanwhile...

"Oh I love your look." Seondeok touches Darin's hair. "I'm so happy we have a King this season."

"Two, actually." Gemini raises her hand. "Feminine and Masculine Presenting Drag from me."

"Love that!" Seaondeok smiles. "We got some stunning contestants this season... it's gonna be one good looking cast."

Vitalia and Melanie are happily chatting.

"I'm so happy we've both returned baby." Melanie smiles.

"I KNOW." Vitalia is excited. "Though, some people don't seem so happy..."

Maya Hook is appearing to complain to Nancy.

"I just don't think honestly, I would've signed up for this season if there was 3 other returning Queens I know about." Maya sighs. "I'm just worried about fucking up and now I feel like I have three other Queens to be compared to."

"So... we just gotta do better than them." Nancy shrugs.

### Episode 3 - The Drag Slashers

**Episode Recap:**

The Next Day, Sunny D walks in hand in hand with Vitalia. "We're here, we're fierce, get used to it!"

Gemini Moon looks on... and makes a slight face.

Miss Thang is chatting with Urethra.

"I'm so hoping we get a dance challenge. Something I can MOVE in." Miss Thang exhales. "We almost lip synced and honestly? I was okay with that because I could've shown what I can do. But now I feel like i'm in the bad books with the judges and I haven't redeemed myself."

"Well, I think you'll have that opportunity." Urethra smiles.

"Or I just destroy a bitch in the bottom and make my point." Miss Thang shrugs. Urethra gulps.

*Urethra Ranklin: "Miss Thang... kinda scares me. She's competitive, and I would NOT want to be lip syncing against her. I know I could hold up in a performance, but I feel like she'd try and like... throw pebbles on the ground and try and trip me."*

YOU'VE GOT RU-MAIL!

My Queens... SOMEONE'S HUNTING ME. HE'S HERE!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

"That's kinda spooky." Mai Clee Toriss makes a face. "We're all going to get murdered."

"At weast it'ww be fun!" Sophie Violet giggles.

Miss Thang: "Wait.. does she talk about that on... purpose?"

Sunny and Cyrus.. you'll be the other two captains in this weeks challenge... Where you'll be OVER-ACTING in three parodies of Classic Slasher Films.**

*Cyrus: "This is great. Unlike my great Drag family... I actually do have an affinity for the dramatic arts. I will curate a great team.. and hopefully nab a second win."*

**As the so called... weakest links, you two will get to choose your other team members.**

Urethra Ranklin whispers to Sophie. "Vitalia is a lot of personality, and Katanna has the potential to be really hilarious. Let's get them."

*Urethra: "I'm excited for this challenge, because I feel like I can give a really good performance. Sophie is a bit strange, but I see a really talented comedian in there as well. I think the four of us... lower ranked Queens can steal the show."*

3. Maya Hook as Hockey Mask's Mom

*~*

Team Nightmare on Heaven Street are chatting on the mirror as they get ready for the 'Pure Goth' Runway following filming their segment.

"So, are ya'll excited for this runway?" Sunny D shrugs. "Not my usual thing, but.."

"I don't really like it." Mai Clee sighs. "I just hate deviating from that fishy, beautiful look... it's where I feel comfortable."

"I mean, I feel you, but like what's drag if we aren't shaking shit up?" Miss Thang smiles. "I love being fierce and fem, but doing something a little different is cool.. I mean it's Drag right? Drag has saved us all."

"Agreed. I mean Drag is my savior." Melanie Minaj smiles. "I was in a dark place before... Drag. Making some dumbass decisions."

"PREACH." Miss Thang smiles. "Drag truly does save us... Empower us, makes us better. I've faced similar scenarios."

Mai Clee smiles. "Yeah, Drag makes me... it makes me feel whole."

*Melanie Minaj: "Mai Clee's eyes light up as she talks about Drag. It's clearly... very important to her. More so than other of us, I feel. Not sure why I think that.."*

"Drag is a trauma fixer." Sunny D laughs, along with the rest of the Team. "I can relate like.."

Sunny Talks for a while. "Gemini! What about you? What got you to here doing Drag?"

"I don't feel comfortable at this time." Gemini walks off.

*Gemini Moon: "I just don't do this kinda stuff. I don't need it, I don't need to revisit trauma.."*

"Awkard..." Melanie looks at the others.

~

**You all had me frightened!**

**Team Nightmare on Heaven Street... you are all safe.**

*Mai Clee Toriss: "I Really thought I performed well this week. Being safe is okay for now though..."*

The Contestants enter the werkroom.

"I OFFICIALLY know i'm not the first out!" Melanie laughs.

"I kinda was worried there." Sunny looks awkward. "I like.. saw my performance and kinda felt like I bombed."

"You did." Melanie shrugs. "We both did babe. Just lucky that overall, we weren't bad as a team enough to be in the bottom."

"I thought Gemini did great. As did I." Mai Clee sighs. "I'm a bit annoyed I didn't receive any feedback. I feel like I bombed on my first challenge, so it would've been nice to be like... hey! Look I can do good!"

*Miss Thang: "Mai is far too emotional. Calm doooooown."*

"I mean I was in the same boat as you. I was in the bottom last week. I performed this week. I didn't win. I'm not complaining."

"I'm not complaining. I'm just.." Mai Clee sighs.

"Frustrated at your team?" Miss Thang shrugs. "I feel like you are thinking about it."

"I just feel like I was surrounded by weaker competitors." Mai Clee Toriss blurts it out.

"Woah." Sunny D makes a face. "Ouch!"

Gemini Moon is sitting back, watching.

*Gemini Moon: "This is why I say the whole notion of sisterhood is fake. Mai Clee is clearly faking that friendly, Kumbaya attitude."*

"I'm going to go now." Mai Clee Toriss walks off.

"Come back and talk it through to us!" Miss Thang claps. "DON'T WALK OFF!, YOU SAID IT!"

~

**Team Drag-O-Ween, you all SLAYED.**

**Katanna.. You are safe.**

*Katanna: "My Team did amazing. I feel like all of us really were the underdogs, and we really proved our talents."*

**Urethra Ranklin, This week you had us in STITCHES.**

*Urethra: "Being in the Top feeeeeels good."*

**Sophie Violet! You have lots of personalities, and you had us cringing... and we loved it. You are safe.**

"Awh, Thank you Wuuuuuu... I'm wike so happy to be here." Sophie bows.

"Is... that voice on purpose?" Michelle whispers to Ru.

**Shhhhh....**

**Uhm, Vitalia Envy! You have a lot of personality and flair, and you are clearly a highly talented actor. Your look tonight is Top Tier... Condragulations, you are the winner of this weeks challenge.**

*Vitalia Envy: "I WON. A. CHALLENGE. AHHHHHHHH! I got eliminated first, and now I am Top Toot... and a challenge winner!"*

**Urethra, well done. You are safe.**

~

**Sadly... this week, Team Thursday the 11th... you were the worst. However...**

**King Darin. If you were in another team... chances are you would've won. You are safe.**

*King Darin: "It's a bit frustrating, but I can't let my feelings dictate house I act against the team. Yes, they brought me down, but I can only bring myself up. Just gotta hope for an individual challenge and soon."*

**Cyrus, you did a serviceable job as well. You are... also safe.**

**This means that sadly... Seondeok, Nancy Doll and Maya Hook... you are the bottom 3 of the week.**

**Seondeok, you didn't have the personality in this challenge. It was a lot of... silence. You didn't even scare us!**

**Maya Hook... whilst your look was divine, your challenge performance was... tragic.**

**Nancy Doll... We chastised you on your original season for failing to give more beyond sexy. This week, you just gave us hot lady, and didn't make us laugh... in fact.. you made us turn away.**

**Seondeok... you are safe.**

*Seondeok: "God. Nearly lip syncing... for bad reasons is a horrid feeling."*

**Both of you have come here and been given a second chance. Both of you failed to impress this week and will be lip syncing for your life.**

**Two Queens Stand Before Me. You will Lip Sync to 'Dance in the Dark' by Lady Gaga. Good luck... and don't fuck it up.**

*Nancy Doll: "I can't believe I'm here again. I'm more prepared this time around. I will NOT go home."*

*Maya Hook: "If this little beauty think's she has a shot against me... She's in for a shock. I'm busting out the moves."*

Both Queens are quite low energy. Nancy is shaking around on stage, looking very pretty. Maya Hook stomps around and jumps as (tries to) do a death drop. It fails. Sunny D cringes.

**I've made my decision.**

**Both of you failed to give the fire deserving of a lip sync for your life. I clearly made a wrong decision regarding bringing you both back. Neither of you have survived this lip sync.**

"Oh my God." The Normally stoic Gemini gasps.

**Sashay Away.**

Maya Hook stomps out.

Nancy Doll sighs. "Bye all...." She waves, tears flowing down her face.

*Maya Hook: "I'm not doing an exit interview, get the cameras away from me."*

*Nancy Doll: "I'm just... upset. I thought I had a second chance and I could give EVERYTHING. But then.. this is what happened. I'm disappointed in myself.."*

~

### Episode 4 - The First Legendary Draglympics

**Episode Recap:**

The Contestants enter the werkroom.

"Double elimination.. what a start to the season..." King Darin exhales. "How is everyone feeling?"

"A lot of emotions right now..." Vitalia sighs. "I'm feeling upset there was two Queens like me... you know first outs eliminated. But I also want to celebrate this win.."

"So you have to celebrate then." King Darin looks around. "We all just got a clear indication on what will happen to... almost all of us. So every week we are here we need to work together and celebrate survival."

"Yeah... you know, there's always the weaker contestants, right Mai?" Miss Thang smirks.

"Oh giiiiirl not this again." Sunny D walks off.

"I'm not engaging with you Miss Thang." Mai Clee turns around. "You know what.. yes! I do feel like there are weaker Queens. YOU in particular. You love to stir the pot it's very much clear. Your Drag isn't anything special.. and I think you are weak."

"Okay, let's calm down..." King Darin walks over. "Ladies..."

"SHUT UP DARIN." Mai Clee Toriss screams. "THIS ISN'T YOUR CASE."

*King Darin: "Woah. Mai Clee was like, just the other day appearing to be this super sweet, nice Queen... but she's like jumped into an entirely different person in the course of an episode. What the..."*

"Does anyone feel like some popcorn and ice-cweam?" Sophie Violet walks brings a huge box of popcorn out from her bag. "I think we should have some, it might make us aww feeeew bettew?"

Melanie Minaj and Katanna both raise their hands. "Me!" they say at the same time.

"You gotta calm down babe." Miss Thang smiles.

"Oh shut up, you've initiated this. You're making me react. Mai Clee rolls her eyes. "Whatever. I guess we will see whatever challenge that comes next who the true winner is." She goes to-drag.

*Mai Clee Toriss: "Of course I am upset. Of course I'm worried about making it through this competition. I feel off. I know it's affecting my responses. I just can't stop."*

"I'm going to fight for whatever challenge is the next episode so..." Miss Thang stares at Mai Clee. "It's on."

"Ok, Popcown time now!" Sophie grins.

*Sophie Violet: "Positivity is the best way to stop these things. Always. Even if it's dumb positivity."*

~

The Next Day, Seondeok and Gemini Moon are chatting.

"I'm kinda happy to see someone a bit more reserved like myself." Gemini smiles. "And I mean, your artistry... it's truly something. What are your key reference points for your looks?"

Seondeok blushes. "Oh, thank you so much. I mean there's a few points for me. I'm a bit of a nerd to be honest."

"I can relate.." Gemini laughs.

"History. I'm actually named after one of the first female monarchs in Korean history. I have this thing about... regality that I really love. And I think me embracing that regality and passion in my own Drag... makes my blood royal." Seon laughs. "It powers me. I literally think it gives me a royal bloodline."

"Did somebody say Royal?" King Darin ducks over.

**YOU'VE GOT RU-MAIL!**

**What does 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012... and 2016 have in common? Oh you know. It's easy...**

"EVERY FOUR YEARS!" Sunny D yells out.

"I think it's more than that darling." Katanna places her hand on Sunny's shoulder.

**HELLO HELLO HELLO!**

**My Contestants... for this weeks mini-challenge... you will be... stripping on a poll.**

~

**Katanna, you are the mini-challenge winner! You get $5000.**

**My Contestants... for this weeks maxi-challenge, you will be competing in The First Legendary Draglympics!**

**You will be competing in 5 Drag-tastic Olympic categories;**

**Voguing,**

**Throwing Shade,**

**Baton Twirling,**

**Figure Skating,**

**and Hula Hooping!**

*Melanie Minaj: "Baby, I LIVE for moving. This is a high energy, high movement challenge and I am ready to show what makes Melanie Minaj... Melanie Minaj."*

**This challenge is all about movement and grace... and a bit of comedy on Top! We want to see someone who can perform the house down... or mess up and make us all laugh WITH them.**

Miss Thang grins. She looks excited.

*Miss Thang: "I know how to use my body and excel in these kinds of challenges.*

~

The contestants are getting ready for the main challenge and Club Kid Realness runway.

"So Urethra.." Cyrus puts on eyeliner. "What inspired you to do Aretha in Drag? And what inspired you to do something so different in your normal Drag Style?"

"I mean, as a young gay black kid, my mom would play Arethra. Some days, it would be all she'd be playing in the house. I quickly became... kind of obsessed." Urethra smiles. "So when I discovered I loved Drag, I knew I had to do Aretha. I had all the mannerisms down pat already. I knew the reference points. But then I saw all these fellow drag impersonators.. well..."

"That's all they really do effectively?" Cryus laughs.

"Kinda, yeah. So I wanted to stand out." Urethra shrugs. "And I mean, it's lead me to be on virtual Drag race!"

~

**My Draglympic Champions...**

**Katanna, Gemini Moon.. Miss Thang, Seondeok, Mai Clee Toriss... you are all safe. Cyrus! You had a Top Toot of a look. You are also safe**.

*Cryus: "I really thought I gave an incredible incredible performance, so safe isn't... quite the spot I am most satisfied with."*

The Contesants untuck..

"What a challenge hey." Katanna looks at Miss Thang. "I thought we both were going to be in the Top hey."

"I agree." Miss Thang exhales. "I gave tricks, moves... like... What else can I do?"

"I mean, looks are part of this too." Cyrus shrugs.

"What are you implying?" Miss Thang crosses her arms. "I thought I looked great tonight."

"The look is basic, if I am being honest. It doesn't scream club kid." Cyrus steps back. "No disrespect, but I feel like you didn't.. get the theme."

"She's right." Mai Clee Toriss smiles. "I mean, I know I did bad. This isn't my kinda drag but like... don't go acting like you did good here."

"Really? Interjecting here?" Miss Thang sighs. "Go away Mai Clee."

"Woah, let her speak." Cyrus responds. "It's the werkroom. We are here to be open and honest."

"And honestly, you look like shit." Mai Clee laughs.

"Woah." Katanna makes a face. "That's not constructive feedback Mai."

*Katanna: "This really weird snap to mean girl is just so unusual. I don't get why she's acting like this. She wasn't a mean girl when I met her. It's clearly from a place of insecurity. Nobody acts like this.. just on their own."*

Meanwhile, Seondeok and Gemini are chatting.

"I mean, sometimes it's hard to even be here because I get distracted. There's like.." Gemini tries to think of the words.

"So much going on, such a community that is in itself real, but also fake... like all kinds of unknowns. That's where we all are." Seondeok exhales. "It's basically just a lot of people."

"YES!" Gemini smiles.

"Like.. I just am so consumed sometimes by the idea I HAVE to do stuff on my own." Gemini sighs. "It's been that way for such a long time. It's HARD to be... in a team like... working with people? I worry about the team challenges because I can't do shit on my own. Is that weird?"

"Not at all." Seondeok looks empathically at Gemini. "I feel bothered sometimes.. as I feel like an outsider in my own community as a.. Korean Twink who doesn't have English as a first language."

"It feels good to have you here." Gemini smiles.

Mai Clee Toriss and Miss Thang continue to argue in the background.

~

**Melanie Minaj.... Sunny D... Vitalia Envy... you are the award winning medalists this week.**

**Vitalia Envy.. you've won Bronze. You are safe.**

*Vitalia Envy: "Another week on the Top. I feel so happy... I need to maintain it."*

**Sunny D, you gave us a killer performance AND a great look.**

**Melanie Minaj... we finally saw why you deserved a second chance. Condragulations, you've won GOLD! You are the Winner of this week's challenge!**

*Melanie Minaj: "I did it baby. Miss Minaj is here to win."*

**Sunny D, well done. You are safe.**

*Sunny D: "I guess it was too early for a second win. But i'm so damn happy for Miss Melanie!"*

~

**Urethra Ranklin... you gave a sleeper of a performance. And your look wasn't gold.**

**King Darin... whilst you are clearly a talented King, your performance was very poor this week.**

**Sophie Violet Cwumble. You are a lot of fun. But this week... we had no idea what you were doing.**

**Urethra... you are safe.**

*Urehtra Ranklin: "God. I need to step it up and quickly. I'm not going without getting to the Snatch game. I cannot let it happen."*

**Unfourntately this means King Darin and Sophie Violet... you are the bottom two of the week. You will lip sync to 'Malibu' by Kim Petras. Good luck.. and don't fuck it up.**

*King Elias: "I'm not entirely surprised to be in the bottom. This challenge, whilst one I put my all in, wasn't my forte. I know I need to show why I deserve to stay. I'm going to prove it on this stage."*

*Sophie Violet: "It's OKAY! I'm in the bottom and that's fine! I messed up this week. But this song is fun, exciting and like... so cute! I get the opportunity to perform, and show I am not just some kooky Queen. I'm a great performer too!"*

**King Darin moves around and gives his best performance as he moves across the stage. He gives a strong lip sync.. but Sophie Violet gives excitable, positive energy. She dances like she's mad, and the facial expressions she gives make the judges laugh. As the chorus hits, she falls to the ground dramatically. The judges all die of laughter.**

**Sophie Violet.. you gave us a great performance. Shantay You Stay!**

*Sophie Violet: "I'm so happy to have survived. I get to live to smile another day!"*

**King Darin.. I really thought you had what it takes to make it to the end. Sadly I have to say... Sashay.. Away.**

"Good luck everyone." King Darin smiles.

*King Darin: "Of course this is upsetting.. being here and going home so early. I know my artisty is strong, and I know I am more than capable outside of Virtual Drag race... I just wish I could've made my royal house proud. But at least I'll have a new thing to talk about; dealing with negative feelings when going home early on Virtual Drag Race." Darin laughs. "Goodbye from the King!"*

### Episode 5 - The Power of Drag

**Episode Recap:**

The Contestants enter the werkroom..

"I did not see that coming..." Katanna speaks first.

"I didn't either, honestly." Cyrus shrugs. "I feel like there's other weaker contestants who could've gone home before Cyrus."

"She's a mess." Mai Clee Toriss responds, looking over at Sophie, seated with Melanie and Sunny D. "I don't understand why they kept her. I think she's a waste of space."

"Okay, cut back." Katanna sighs. "There is no need to be so harsh."

"Why discredit my feelings? That's what I think. I think she's weak." Mai Clee Toriss rolls his eyes. "Don't tell me what to do Katanna."

"I mean, Mai's being harsh sure, but I am sure a lot of us felt that way." Cyrus looks around. "I mean, I don't know if I have... quite as strong feelings, but I do think Darin is an incredibly strong loss. I was just talking in general.."

"You know you'll regret this attitude." Katanna locks eyes with Mai. "Remember this."

Sophie Violet is blissfully unaware of the discussion going on as she dances around with Sunny D and Melanie Minaj.

~

"Oh no... I need to poop." Sophie Violet laughs as she enters the werkroom the next day.

Cyrus and Mai Clee Toriss both look at each other and look grossed out.

"So.. we both won a challenge!" Vitalia grins at Melanie.

"Baby... it's great. I feel like both of us had struggles on our season...and now we're here, and us going home first led to this." Melanie grins.

"I can't wait to see what's next." Vitalia excitedly bounces.

**YOU'VE GOT RU-MAIL!**

My Contestants... Drag makes you feel. Drag changes lives. Can you change some lives today?

Seondeok grins. "I don't know what this challenge is, but it sounds up our alley." She whispers to Gemini.

**Hello Hello Hello!**

**My Contestants.. for this weeks mini challenge.. I want you all to.. engage in a potato sack race.**

**Cyrus! Condragulations, you are this weeks mini challenge winner.**

Cryus smiles. "Good start."

~

**My Lucky 11... this week, it's time for a makeover!**

"ALREADY?" Sunny D's looks shocked.

*Mai Clee Toriss: "Makeup is my number one talent. I have been painting women for years now. I can finally show my pageant ability by giving my best self."*

**Let's bring out the lucky ladies who will be made over by yourselves...**

Out walk a bunch of normal looking women.

*Seondeok: "Are we just making over... plain janes? Oh no. CUT THAT OUT. I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!" Seondeok pats himself down. "Hi, I'm really excited for this challenge. I can put my makeup skills into action."*

**These women have all experienced homelessness in the last year, something thousands of Americans face every day. Each of them has come here to be done up in the very best drag and have some open and honest discussions.**

Gemini Moon looks upset. "Uhm..." They turn around for a second.

"You okay?" Seondeok whispers to Gemini.

"Yup... fine." Gemini wipes a tear.

**Cyrus, as this weeks mini challenge winner... you get to assign ladies to their drag performers.**

*Cyrus: "I obviously choose the lady who has the most similar features to myself. I want to devour this challenge, so I give myself an advantage. And then I just... give everyone else a random choice. That way there's no hard feeling against me... and I still have the advantage."*

**I want to see you all giving FAMILY RESEMBLANCE. I want to see YOUR BRAND in someone else's drag.**

*Sophie Violet Cwumble: "I'm going to give total Sophie. Normally i'd worry about a fashion challenge, but this is somewhere where I can be a mess and it makes sense! Cringe is my brand!"*

~

The contestants are all doing their makeovers.

Miss Thang and Urehtra are next to each other.

"So, how are you approaching this challenge?" Urehtra looks at Miss Thang. "I have a feeling lots of body."

"Of course." Miss Thang grins. "It's a girl group vibe tonight Missy. You?"

"I'm going to go... semi Arethra illusion. In the sense that I will be doing glamourous and stylish instead of my usual grunge. I think it's a good way to show the judges my versatility."

"About time." Miss Thang smirks. Urehtra punches Miss Thang playfully. "Bitch!"

~

Gemini is making over their assigned Lady, Jasmine and chatting.

"I'm really happy to have gotten to make you over Jasmine." Gemini smiles.

"I am happy to be here. When I got kicked out for being gay..." Jasmine sighs. "I felt so alone. And I had these resources... I was so lucky to have support and like... I feel like so many other people in similar scenarios do not know if you are facing this, you can find places that will take you in..."

"Yup." Gemini sighs.

"I'm sorry. I feel like I bring things down sometimes..."

"No..." Gemini stops for a second, as if appearing to think. "It's just... making me think of my own family. "I.."

"You don't have to talk if you don't want to." Jasmine places her hand on Gemini.

"No I will.. it's fine." Gemini has tears flowing down her face. "When I was young... I myself was abandoned my family. I endured homelessness as well. And being here, this challenge... it brought it all back."

"You have no idea the worth your story will be worth." Jasmine hugs Gemini. "Look at us... we look like messes."

"Yup... let's get into high gear now." Gemini smiles.

*Gemini Moon: "I didn't come here intending to talk about this at all. But to have shared experiences, and in a challenge I honestly think I can excel in... maybe this day was meant to be."*

*~*

**...I've made some decisions.**

**Sunny D, Vitalia Envy, Katanna, Melanie Minaj. You are all safe.**

The Contestants untuck backstage.

"Ooft." Melanie Minaj exhales. "I really thought I was screwed this week."

"There's some incredibly top tier makeup artists this season." Katanna responds. "Not exactly my forte so... safety is good."

Both Sunny D and Vitalia nod. "Agreed." Sunny smiles. "Though it's coming up time that I need to get a win again! Like, I feel so excited and happy to be here but you have to constantly be in the ball and proving yourself so I need to keep stepping it up. And like..." Sunny starts tearing up.

"Are you okay darling?" Vitalia pats Sunny D's back.

"Yeah... I just have these expectations in my head that I KNOW I need to fulfil. And I feel fine! It's just that you know, Juice made it to the finale. I want to win for her." Sunny D sighs. "It's stupid I know."

Melanie looks at Sunny D. "All of us are here for the win baby. Me and Vitalia were first outs.. and now;"

"We will be 10th or lower!" Vitalia laughs. "And Katanna- you know you are bringing something incredibly different to the Virtual Drag Race World. All of us here are important reason. We just cannot let any worries put us in our head. Believe me, I know how it feels."

The Queens all hug.

~

**Cyrus, Mai Clee Toriss, Gemini Moon, Seondeok... you are the Top Queens of the week.**

**Cyrus, this week you gave us a makeover clearly in line with yourself. We loved the new member of the House of Kunt.**

**You're safe.**

*Cyrus: "I made it to the Top, but I feel like this week's winner was set in the stars...But damn, I gave some real competition."*

**Mai Clee Toriss, tonight we saw you shine as your best self, and we loved it.**

Mai Clee Toriss grins.

**You're safe.**

Mai Clee Toriss face falls.

*Mai Clee Toriss: "Safety doesn't give you any passes. Safety doesn't make a winner."*

**Seondeok, you and your royal sister looked stunning tonight.**

**Gemini Moon... you were truly a star tonight. We've seen a brand new Gemini this week. Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.**

Gemini bows. "Thank you so much. I just want to make it clear as someone-" Gemini gulps. "Who's experienced this, know that you are loved and will be loved and there will always be people there to support you."

*Gemini Moon: "I hate this kind sappy stuff." She laughs. "But it felt... needed."*

**Seondeok, well done. You are safe.**

*Seondeok: "I'm so happy for Gemini. This was truly her week."*

~

**This means... Miss Thang, Sophie Violet and Urethra Ranklin... you are the bottom 3 of the week.**

**Miss Thang, you are great art. But the canvas... doesn't translate when repainted.**

**Sophie Violet, you were... too much this week. Even if it's a mess, cringy look.. we want to see a well done messy, cringy look. That was missing this week."**

**Urethra Ranklin... you tried something different, but this week, you just couldn't compare with all the big dogs.**

**Sophie... you are safe.**

"Thank you Wu." Sophie smiles and skips off stage.

*Sophie Violet: "I didn't excel in the last two challenges. But next week I will put 110% in and show SOPHIE CAN DO GOOD STUFF!" Sophie stops. "That was poorly worded. I can do well."*

**Unfourntately, this means Miss Thang and Urethra Ranklin, this week you are the bottom 2 of the week. You will be Lip Syncing to 'Satisfied' from the Musical Hamilton. Good luck... and don't fuck it up.**

*Miss Thang: "This isn't the kinda song I'd normally perform. But baby... I can rap. I'm not going home this early."*

*Urethra Ranklin: "Normally i'd be worried to lip syncing against Miss Thang. But my dear... this is a musical song. Miss Thang can't do her usual tricks, and me? Well.. I'm ready to perform the hell out of this song."*
Miss Thang is moving around stage, high energy and powerful. From the beginning. However, Urethra brings grace and grviatas; you can feel the power behind the words as she lip syncs. As the rap hits, she hits every. single. line. The judges are gagged.

**Urethra... that was a legendary lip sync! Shantay you stay.**

*Urerthra: "I'm pleased to have given a performance that the judges appreciated, even though I felt like I wasn't quite deserving of the bottom..."*

Mai Clee Smirks.

**Miss Thang! You've got something. Don't forget that. Now Sashay Away...**

*Miss Thang: "It's crap. I had so much more to give and we have nasty Queens like Mai Clee still here. It's shit."*

### Episode 6 - The Snatch Game

**Episode Recap:**

The contestants enter the werkroom...

"The evil is defeated." Mai Clee cackles.

Katanna rolls her eyes.

"I'm going to Miss... Miss Thang." Sophie sighs. "But we have to celebrate still being here, and having another day to prove ourselves!"

"YES!" Sunny D cheers. Sunny, Vitalia and Sophie both smile and go to sit down together.

"God, I'm over her." Mai Clee whispers to Cryus.

"I gotta agree. She should've been lip syncing." Cryus turns to Mai. "And Gemini winning.."

"Bullshit, right?" Mai sighs. "It should've been one of us, easily."

Katanna, Seondeok and Gemini Moon are all seated next to each other and hear Cyrus talking with Mai.

"I think they brought up your name." Katanna looks at Gemini. "Mai is just acting so nasty..."

"She clearly pissed she's not performing. Let's ignore. It's not worth it." Gemini sighs.

*Gemini Moon: "I feel a bit of agitation... but this bullshit is exactly what I want to AVOID. Not engaging."*

~

Urethra is sitting with Melanie. "It's frustrating. I thought my look was great, my makeup was on point."

Melanie looks at Urethra sympathetically. "I feel you. But honestly... Urethra... you are a goddamn star. You just gotta show them."

"I will." Urethra looks determined.

*Urethra: "It's time I show my talents. No more Mrs Nice Queen."*

~

The Next Day, Sunny D and Sophie Violet skip in together. "TOP 10!"

Sunny D: "After shedding some tears last night... I'm ready to take on whatever comes next!"

Sunny, Sophie and Vitalia are seated together. "I think we should become a team." Vitalia smiles. "Dedicated to helping each other out."

"I love this idea." Sophie grins. "I've always wanted a drag sisterhood."

"What should we be called?" Sunny D thinks. "Sunny and the Girls."

"Not happening..." Vitalia laughs.

**YOU'VE GOT RU-MAIL!**

**My Lucky 10... What's deadly? What's the one challenge that really is make or break? You know what it is. YOU KNOW.**

"Oh god... I think it's the snatch game!" Melanie gulps.

*Melanie Minaj: "I know i'm Miss Minaj, but baby I am not an impersonator."*

*Sophie Violet SCREAMS. "OH MY GOOOOOOOSH YES."*

**Hello Hello Hello!**

**My Contestants... for this weeks mini-challenge... you will... beatbox a song about drag.**

**~**

**Sophie Violet, congratulations you are the mini challenge winner!**

Sophie Violet SCREAMS. "OH MY GOOOOOOOSH YES." She high fives Sunny D, who is just as excited.

Mai Clee Torris rolls her eyes. "See it again?" She looks at Cyrus.

"Far too much." Cyrus looks annoyed.

Katanna eyes Mai.

**My Contestants... it's time for a major challenge. We're doing the SNATCH GAME!**

Cyrus grins.

Urethra beams.

*Cryus: "I've been waiting for the Snatch game. My drag family... all aren't the best comedians. But I am a little bit different. I know how to do these kinda things. I've been prepared."*

*Urethra: "THIS. THIS is the challenge I was born to do. I am Arethra. I've been Aretha for years. This is mine."*

**I want to see you giving your best character performances. This is a challenge that makes or breaks performances... so don't fuck it up.**

*Sophie Violet: "I'm excited for this challenge. I'm doing something really weird. These guys have NO IDEA what they're in for." Sophie laughs. "Oh god it's going to be so dumb."*

*Mai Clee Toriss: "I'm excited for this. I am a talented comedic impersonator just as much as I am a beauty. I got this."*

*~*

The Contestants get ready for their Snatch Game.

"Look at her." Mai Clee points to Sophie. "Do you think she knows she looks bad? Cyrus?"

"I need to focus on this challenge." Cyrus shrugs. "So.. I don't see anyone but myself right now.."

"I'm going to go ask how she feels about surviving last week. And see if she knows that she looks like such mess." Mai starts to walk over when Katanna stops her.

"NOPE. You aren't ruining her day. This has gone on far too long." Katanna looks annoyed. "GO. Get Ready for yourself."

"I was just going to ask a question." Mai sighs. "Whatever."

"You know you are a bully Mai. You truly are a mean girl."

Mai looks as if she's going to break for a moment, but then walks off.

Katanna walks grinning. "The evil truly is defeated..." She whispers to herself laughing.

*Katanna: "As many a fan of myself would know, I love a prop. I'm playing a Paranomal Hunter. You guys get the point. This is a top tier challenge for me."*

**My 10...**

**This Snatch Game was mad.**

**Cryus, Gemini Moon, Mai Clee Toriss and Vitalia Envy. You are all safe.**

*Mai Clee Toriss: "Seriously?! I gave a great performance!"*

~

The contestants untuck backstage...

Cryus and Mai are chatting off at the mirrors.

"I'm annoyed." Cryus looks at Mai. "Seriously? We both did 10 times better than both Katanna and Sophie.

"I honestly have hope she's in the bottom. I cannot let myself believe Sophie is capable of winning this." Mai clenches her fist. "If she's rewarded..."

"I honestly think they don't want someone who is just strong and polished this season. They want someone rough... or with a sob story." Cyrus breathes out. "Gemini was shit this week. She deserved to be lip syncing."

"You know what, I'm going to say something to Gemini." Mai Clee Toriss walks over to Gemini, who's chatting with Vitalia. "Do you think you deserved to be here?"

"Excuse me?" Gemini raises his hands in the air. "What the hell are you on about?"

"Do you you think you deserved to be safe tonight?" Mai Clee folds her arms. "Because I feel like you didn't deserve to be safe."

Vitalia Envy sits back, not responding.

"The judges sure didn't feel that way, otherwise i'd have been in the bottom." Gemini responds. "Don't i'm going to try it with you."

"I mean.." Cryus walks over. "I do feel like you gave a piss poor performance."

"Great. I don't." Gemini rolls his eyes.

"That's not to mention last weeks... performance." Mai looks at Gemini. "That whole sob story was great timing, wasn't it?"

"How dare you." Gemini stands up. "I deliberately held off from saying this because I didn't want to get into it. Are you literally implying I used my BEING ABANDONED as what... a way to gain sympathy?"

"I mean, it's great timing." Cyrus says.

*Cyrus: "I am pissed sure but I honestly do not think this is incorrect. I think Gemini is getting a pass. I have my own experiences and I've brought them up, but not on the mainstage..."*

"Fuck you Mai. You know... you are truly ugly." Gemini exhales.

Mai Clee Toriss starts tearing up.

"I'm going to go for a cigarette. You two should be ashamed of yourself. Vitalia... if you want to talk, you know where I am." Gemini walks out.

Mai starts crying. It gets worse and worse until she is sobbing. Cryus goes to comfort her... as does Vitalia. "Like, I just don't get it WHY SHE'D CALL ME UGLY." Mai says between sobs.

"We're here for you now." Cyrus pats Mai's back. "Vitalia... you should stay and sit with us."

Vitalia looks outside for a second.. then stops. "I think I will."

*Mai Clee Toriss: "I KNOW my words can mean spirited. But it's just getting so HARD like... I'm struggling. And it's not just this competition. There's more... and just... It's making me swing emotionally. Say harsh things. And Gemini calling me ugly... it's hurt me."*

*~*

***Katanna. Sophie Violet... Urethra Ranklin.. you all really impressed this week.***

***Katanna.. you gave us a prop heavy Snatch Game... and we ate it up.***

***You're safe.***

*Katanna: "SO. DAMN. CLOSE!"*

**Sophie Violet... you really shined on in the Snatch Game. We're finally getting to see what you do.**

**Urethra Ranklin... you've struggled the last few weeks. But this time around, you shined brighter than anyone else. CONDRAGULATIONS, you are not only the Top Toot... but you are the winner of this week's challenge.**

Urethra smiles. "Thank you Aretha." She looks up. "I want to dedicate this win to all the Black Queer Kids. Be authentically yourself!"

*Urethra: "I'm so happy. This is what I do best. I am happy to have proven my talents."*

**Sophie... well done. You are safe.**

*Sophie Violet: "YAY. I got a high!"*

**Sadly... this means Sunny D... Melanie Minaj and Seondeok... you are the bottom 3 of the week.**

**Sunny D... you have lots of charm, but your Snatch Game... I wish I could say it was good... but I don't want to.**

**Melanie Minaj... you don't do impersonations... Why don't you say so?**

**Seondeok... we've seen Margaret Cho before... and yours was much, much worse.**

**Sunny... you are safe.**

*Sunny D: "I can't let my family down. But I did this week. Ugh..." Sunny exhales. "I can do this.."*

**Unfourntately... this means Seondeok and Melanie Minaj... you are in the bottom this week. You will lip sync to 'High Hopes' by Panic! At the Disco. Good Luck... and don't fuck it up.**

*Melanie Minaj: "I went home on my first lip sync last time. It will not happen again."*

*Seondeok: "I'm bummed to be in the bottom. I lose my first lip sync this season, but now I am lip syncing for my LIFE. I'm going to give everything. Energy. Strength. Power. I am going to give you royal power."*

Seondeok starts off slow... but builds and builds in power. She reveals a literal glowing sabre and goes CRAZY. It's madness with a Seondeok flair. BUT Melanie delivers the high energy- she's moving, dancing around the stage and giving her ALL. All eyes are on HER.

**Melanie... Shantay you stay!**

*Melanie: "I made it. Oooh, it feels so good to say 'I survived a lip sync.'"*

**Seondeok... you are a Drag Star. You are stunning... don't forget that. Now... Sashay... Away.**

Seondeok grins. "Thank you so much for this opportunity..."

*Seondeok: "Of course, I am a little sad. But... it's okay. I lived, I won a challenge... I proved my talents."*

Gemini Moon looks really upset. Katanna goes to comfort Gemini and whilst at first she looks like she will say no, Gemini lets her in.

### Episode 7 - Beach Holiday Time?

**Episode Recap:**

The contestants enter the werkroom.

"I'm a winner, baby!" Urethra grins.

"Let's talk over here." Katanna gestures over Gemini.

*Katanna: "I see someone upset, I have this thing. I NEED to help. Gemini's lovely, and I don't want to see them bummed out. Though I know they're a tough nut to crack.."*

"Oh i'm good." Gemini looks at Katanna. "I just need to go de-drag.."

"Gemini. You can trust me. I will be here for you. PLEASE." Katanna looks at Gemini. "I'm worried for you. You looked so bummed."

"I was." Gemini sighs. "It wasn't just Seondeok.. I hate this shit. But I got into an argument in untucked..." Gemini exhales.

"Oh shit. Did Mai try something?" Katanna looks at Mai, chatting with Vitalia and Cryus. "I will be HAPPY to go say something."

"No... nah." Gemini looks at Katanna. "They aren't worth it. I just think... we need to keep an eye out for them.. Especially Vitalia... I think she's joined them."

"I always felt something was off..." Katanna responds. "I think now that we are at 9...."

"She will be willing to do anything to stay alive." Gemini responds, looking concerned. "We just have to work hard..."

"I promise you..." Katanna looks at Gemini. "I will be here to support you. I KNOW you are talented, and I don't want you to let anyone drag you down."

"I think I just need to focus on my own work." Gemini goes to walk off. "But.. if you need help.."

Katanna smiles. "Same to you."

*Gemini Moon: "To be entirely honest, I don't know if I trust anyone. But Katanna does seem to be coming from a place of support... Maybe I can trust him.."*

~

The Next Day, Sunny D, Melanie Minaj and Sophie Violet are seated together.

"I'm feeling excited guys!" Melanie excitedly bounces. "I survived. We all can do this!"

"Me too! We can do this!" Sophie beams.

"Yeah. We can!" Sunny responds, monotone.

Melanie Minaj: *"I'm slightly concerned for Sunny. I want to scream... GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD!"*

**YOU'VE GOT RU-MAIL!**

**My Contestants... who doesn't like a trip to the beach? You just have to remember to pack the essentials!**

Sophie Violet grins. "We'we going to go swimming!"

"No." Mai looks at her. "Not happening."

**HELLO HELLO HELLO!**

**My Contestants... for this week's mini-challenge... you will be READING, BABY. Put on those glasses!**

~

**Vitalia Envy! Giiiiirl, you SHADY.**

**For this weeks maxi challenge.. we're taking a beach holiday! And inspired by so many great advertisements, each of you will be given a beach essential. I want to see you make the most out of what you are given and sell me the product in a fantastic comedic advertisement! And then, on the runway, it's Knight in Shining Armor.**

*Katanna: "I've said it before, I will say it again, and I will probably say it again after that. This Queen LOVES a prop. This is the exact kinda challenge I can utilise my skills for."*

**Vitalia Envy... as the mini challenge winner, you will get to organise the items.**

Vitalia walks off and goes to discuss with Cyrus and Mai.

"I think you should give us three what we want... and just give things that don't match to anyone else." Mai smirks.

"I Agree. What matters here is looking after yourself, most of all... and me." Cryus winks.

*Cryus: "Am I using my budding friendship with Vitalia to my advantage... of course I am. This is a competition. I think with the right object, I can really shine."*

"It'll get us all ahead." Vitalia exhales. "Yup, I'll do it."

Vitalia gives her assignments:

1. Sunny D- Bottled Water
2. Mai Clee Torisss- Swimsuit
3. Vitalia Envy- Sunscreen
4. Melanie Minaj- Beach Towel
5. Urethra Ranklin- Beach Bag
6. Cyrus- Sunglasses
7. Gemini Moon- Sun Hat
8. Sophie Violet- Waterproof Speakers
9. Katanna- Beach Chair

*Urethra Ranklin: "So, everyone is kinda sitting together except like myself. I mean, Gemini and Katanna aren't exactly chatting, but they're doing that 'we're not talking but near each other thing'. And I realise, i've kinda stayed away from all this nonsense. And it's done me good. I can focus on my product for this week... I think I might just be able to get two wins in a row. Screw cliques, I can get the crown."*

~

As the contestants are planning, Sunny D is struggling to think.

"Ugggghhhhhh." She sighs.

Sophie Violet walks over.

"Hey dear." Sophie smiles.

"Woah. No voice?" Sunny looks surprised.

"No voice, no weird sayings. I'm here to put the power of Goddess into you!"

"What do you mean?" Sunny looks at Sophie. "I'm fine."

"You aren't. But I want you to think... Juice is watching this right now. You've made her proud. You need to be confident in yourself. I KNOW you have the potential to give your all in the challenge, and you will be bummed if you don't." Sophie pats Sunny D's back. "Please give it your all."

*Sunny D: "To see Sophie spread such overwhelming positivity really fires me up. She... is really nice. I think she's actually... a really big threat. BUT. I'm Sunny, and this is a challenge about the bright Sunny Beach. It's very much on brand. I put my natural charm into this... and I think I have a shot to win this."*

~

The Contestants give their advertisements and then walk the runway in their 'Knight in Shining Armor' Looks:

1. Sunny D- Sunny's Bottle of Liquid Sunshine
2. Mai Clee Torisss- The Reveal Swimsuit; Three Sexy Looks In One
3. Vitalia Envy- Make Them All Envious; Vitalia's Instant Tan Sunscreen
4. Melanie Minaj: The Menage A Trois Towel
5. Urehtra Ranklin- You Better **Think**; Aretha's (Unauthorized) Nice and **Respectful** Beach Bag
6. Cyrus- Shade Blockers; For Avoiding Bitches and The Sun
7. Gemini Moon- Day to Night Sun Hat
8. Sophie Violet- THE TOTALLY TUBULAR, WACKY AND WEIRD AND WATERPROOF SPEAKERS!
9. Katanna- The Beach Chair of Many Dimensions (May or May not be a Time Travel Device)

*Melanie Minaj: "BABY. This is my opportunity to be fun! I can be a little sexy, a little naughty... and give total miss Melanie. After last weeks lip sync... this is needed."*

**My Contestants... your advertisements had me ready to escape to the beach!**

**Urethra. Cyrus... Sunny... you are all safe.**

*Sunny D: "I tried really hard, and whilst this challenge is not my strong point... I survived. Thank god!"*

The Queens Untuck backstage.

"So... there's going to be some clashing on the main stage tonight." Urethra shrugs. "Whoops."

Cyrus puts on her 'Shade Blockers'. "I mean... I don't really mind drama. It's not like i'm a part of it."

Sunny D eyes Cryus.

"Really? I mean... we all saw you gossiping with Vitalia and Mai. You guys seemed to have some... weird assignments for everyone else, but great for you three." Sunny D looks at Cyrus. "Just saying."

"I mean, the reality is we're going to look after ourselves. I mean if you get a weaker product, sell it well. Katanna clearly got that this week." Cyrus smirks. "I don't know what else I can say.."

Urethra rolls her eyes. "Let's just drink our cocktails."

~

**My Lovely 6... I have a question to ask.**

**Who on this main stage.. deserves to go home tonight and why?**

Starting with Gemini.

"I think Mai Clee Toriss has failed to act like a fair competitor, and her attitude is borderline bullying. She doesn't deserve to be here."

Katanna raises her hand. "I have to agree. She's a bully."

Vitalia sighs. "I think... Gemini failed at this challenge hard. She deserves to go home for this."

Gemini exhales. "I mean, I know I fucked up. But it doesn't stop Mai from being unsportsman like."

Mai Clee looks annoyed. She clenches her fists.

Sophie Violet looks awkwardly. "To be honest Wu... I didn't even know thewe was this... tension. But I think Mai... bombed."

"I have to agree." Melanie looks around. "Mai isn't top tier."

Mai's face quickly switches from pissed to upset. Tears start to roll down her face.

"I've been facing something.. that.. no one in this competition knows about. I've lived as a Gay Man for years... and Drag was my comfortable place. But coming into this competition... everything about my Drag made me question myself... and i've struggled, i've really struggled..."

*Katanna: "Is this the same Queen who suggested Gemini was using her homelessness to win a challenge? Let's rewind the tapes."*

Sophie is getting more and more emotional over time. "I've realised... I am suffering from Gender Dysphoria and have not been my authentic self in this competition. And it's led me to fail this week in this competition. I now know.. I am... I am saying these words, but I am a trans woman and i've finally come to terms with it."

Everyone looks shocked.

"If I may..." Katanna raises her hand.

"Thank you for being open and honest with us Mai. But this doesn't for one-second excuse your behaviour. You have been acting like a mad person and-." Katanna is interrupted.

"Rub the salt in her wound Katanna." Vitalia folds her arms. "Keep targeting her."

"It's not that simple!" Gemini shouts. "There's been gender non-conforming people here for seasons. Hell, Yasmeen and Claudette are both trans winners! I'm gender non-conforming. We can't let Mai's behaviour go unwarranted."

Mai stops. "I'm not apologising because what either of you deem me 'bullying'. I'm explaining why I failed in the context of this weeks challenge. I was in my own head. Gemini deserves to go home for her failure of performance."

**Lets go back to the results.**

~

**Katanna... this week you gave a hilarious performance, and your look was a totally Top Toot!**

**Vitalia... you look great, and had an incredibly well-done advertisement.**

**Sophie Violet! We love you. You are a truly hilarious Queen.**

**Katanna... Condragulations you are the Winner of this week's challenge!**

*Katanna: "After that mess of a deliberation... this is great. My first win. I feel like i'm on track."*

**Sophie and Vitalia, keep it going. You've both given great performances this week. You are safe.**

**...Sadly this means Gemini Moon, Mai Clee Toriss and Melanie Minaj... you are the bottom 3 of the week.**

**Melanie, your performance wasn't the worst. But it wasn't the best either. Your runway... not at the level it should be.**

**Mai Clee Toriss, you had a great item which you failed to adequately use to your advantage.**

**Gemini Moon... this week, you had no charm and a boring advertisement.**

**Melanie... you are safe.**

*Melanie Minaj: "Two weeks in the bottom. Oh lord Melanie. STEP IT UP."*

**Sadly this means Gemini Moon and Mai Clee Toriss, you are the bottom two of this week. You will lip sync to 'Do It Again' by Pia Mia. Good luck, and don't fuck it up.**

*Gemini Moon: "I'm not losing to Mai. I'm pulling everything out for this performance. I will demand I do not leave. I am going to destroy the Queen. Get ready for a battle."*

*Mai Clee Toriss: "I am not going to have Gemini defeat me. Screw that. I know who I am, and I won't be the girl who goes home 9th."*

It is a battle for the ages. Both contestants are giving their ALL. Mai Clee makes a move, and Gemini one-ups it. Then it happens again. It's the battle of the season, and it ends in a photo finish- both contestants hitting the floor at the same time.

**My God... Now THAT was a lip sync for your life! Unfortunately... this season, there is no second chances. I have had to split hairs...**

**...Gemini Moon, Shantay you stay.**

"Thank you." Gemini grins.

*Gemini Moon: "I feel reawakened after that lip sync. I know that I am a superstar, and i'm about to go supernova."*

**Mai Clee Torisss... you are a star, no matter who or what you identify as. I cannot wait to see you grow as a person.**

Mai's eyes well with tears. "You'll never know what this competition means to me. I am sorry... I let you down."

**You didn't my dear. Now Sashay Away...**

Gemini walks over to Mai to shake her hand. She refuses.

"Be proud of your self!" Mai Clee Toriss grins as she waves off the rest of the contestants.

*Mai Clee Toriss: "I had SO much more to give. It's frustrating... but I will be back. You know that I will."*

*~*

### Episode 8 - Leave Us Gagging

**Episode Recap:**

The Contestants enter the Werkroom.

"First of all, let's clap for Gemini. You did amazing." Katanna grins, and everyone bar Vitalia and Cryus claps.

"Thank you." Gemini sighs. "But I don't need it. I fought, and I just have hope there's no more... bullshit."

"Like... you bullying Mai?" Vitalia stops. "Triggering her to cry?"

"That's not what I did." Gemini sighs. "Mai involved me. I answered a question. And if we talk about Mai's attitude to Miss Thang.. Me... Katanna... Seondeok... and SOPHIE... it's pretty fucking obvious."

"Wait wait wait. Me?" Sophie looks confused.

"We went over this already Sophie." Sunny touches Sophie's shoulder. "She talked a LOT of shit."

"Oh, I don't care." Sophie shrugs. "What people think of me is none of my business."

"I love the positivity you exude..." Melanie grins.

"Positivity is best pwactice." Sophie laughs.

"Okay I'm over this." Cryus walks off.

*Cryus: "I love that we are all happy and fun now, but I mean... it's a waste of time. This is just useless banter. What truly matters is this competition. I've been safe for far too long. It's time I make a power move. Whatever this challenge is, I'm winning it."*

~

The Next Day, Urethra is chatting with Katanna.

"It was weird being safe last week." Urethra gulps. "I've had a rollercoaster journey... and just placing safe felt..."

"Kinda concerning?" Katanna looks at Urethra. "I mean, both of us only got our wins in the last two weeks. I feel like we're both behind."

"And now, Sophie is the only one without a win." Urethra responds. "I think this is the week where a frontrunner comes to the top."

"I think it just might be." Katanna ponders. "I hope it's me."

**YOU'VE GOT MALARIA MAIL!**

"Wait... what?" Vitalia looks confused. "You guys heard that... right?"

**Hi Losers!** In walks Malaria, Winner of Season 5.

ALLLLLL the contestants look excited.

*Cryus: "I'm a HUGE malaria fan. She's fucking drag excellence. She's high class and her World of Warcraft look? LEGENDARY."*

**Ru's out with the flu today, so i'm stepping in. We're starting with doing something I am an expert in... Malaria smirks. Staying high, and consistent. For this weeks mini challenge... you 8 will walk through a rope... 6 feet in the air. Malaria laughs.**

~

**Miss Sophie... you are a cringy ass bitch, but you are the winner of this weeks mini challenge!**

Sophie jumps. "THANK YOUUUUUUU!"

That's a lot of energy." Malaria steps back.

**Okay. So... for this weeks maxi challenge, inspired by Legendary Drag Queen... myself. You will be designing looks.... featuring fashion inspired by a disease assigned to you by this weeks mini-challenge winner.**

Gemini Moon looks ecstatic.

*Gemini Moon: "I won the ball first episode. This my shot truly prove that I can bounce back after lip-syncing. I'm putting my all into this challenge."*

**Weird bitch, you get to assign the diseases.**

Malaria laughs.

**Oh... I almost forgot to say. I'm going to be judging your looks. I told you Ru's out for the week. See you on the main stage!**

Vitalia looks anxious.

*Vitalia Envy: "Malaria saw me go home on my first episode with her. I always kinda felt she didn't see my drag talents last season... I really need to impress."*

Sophie assigns the contestants their diseases:

1. Gemini Moon with Flesh-Eating Virus
2. Vitalia Envy with The Flu
3. Sophie Violet Cwumble with Chicken Pox
4. Urethra Ranklin with Anaphylaxis
5. Melanie Minaj with Asthma
6. Katanna with Hemophilia
7. Cryus with The Black Death
8. Sunny D with Bird Flu

*Sophie Violet: "I am not the best drag fashion artist, but I actually think I can use my drag aesthetic to my advantage here. I can be gross, disgusting and it be on brand. I decide to go with something distinctive with chickenpox. I just give everyone else something fair and reasonable. That's the. best way!"*

~

Sophie and Melanie are chatting. Sunny D sprints over to them.

"MISSION REPORT!" Sunny salutes.

The Other Queens Salute back.

"So, Sunny and the Girls, how are we feeling?" Sunny giggles.

"Excited." Sophie grins.

"Ready." Melanie cracks her knuckles. "And you?"

"MEGA EXCITED. Great team meeting. Now let's get ready to walk the runway." Sunny runs off to get ready.

*Sunny D: "This is going to be a fun runway."*

~

**Hi Skanks.**

**Vitalia, Katanna... you sick bitches are safe. Meh!**

The Queens untuck...

Neither Queen is talking.

It's utter silence.

Silence...

"You know, I think you're bullshit right." Katanna folds her arms. "I think you will do anything to get ahead, and I think you hitched your ride with the wrong train with Mai and now you're facing the consequences."

"Really?" Vitalia rolls her eyes. "Whatever. You're entitled to your wrong opinion. That's fine."

"Guess we will see." Katanna shrugs.

Silence.

Silence.

No one talks for the remainder of untucked.

~

**So...**

**Cryus, Gemini Moon, Sunny D. You three sickening people are the Tops of the Week.**

**Cryus. I mean, WOAH. Your talent as a special effects artist is right on show her tonight. And this look somehow combines high fashion and disease...**

**Gemini. I'm being honest when I say your flesh eating look is kinda scaring me. I'm not one to get scared, clearly. That's a great sign.**

**Sunny D, I did not imagine a Queen like yourself getting down and dirty and doing a great bird flu look... but you STOMPED on it.**

..Sunny, you are safe.

*Sunny D: "A high placement is good. Now it's time for another win."*

**I mean, I'm not going to lie, this weeks Cryus you made me fall in fucking LOVE. Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge... and my pick to win this season.**

*Cyrus: "To hear Malaria say... I want you to win this season. Everything feels correct. I'm so pleased. This is the real start of my reign."*

**Gemini, you did good, just not as good as Cryus. You're safe.**

*Gemini Moon: "I brought a really conceptually interesting look and it was understood, but I don't think fully understood. Cryus is a threat, and tonight made it really clear. I gotta watch out for this Queen."*

~

**So, of course, this leaves Sophie Violet, Melanie Minaj and Urethra Ranklin as the bottom three Queens.**

**Sophie, you looked a mess.**

**Melanie, you looked boring.**

**Urethra, I just didn't like your look period.**

**Melanie, you're safe. By the skin of your teeth. Do better.**

*Melanie: "To hear Malaria tell me to do better... it's shit. I feel like i've been put into this hole the last few weeks... and I know if I don't do something soon, i'm going home."*

**Urethra. Sophie. You both stand before me.**

**Let me stop for a second and savour this moment, to make it all about myself...**

Malaria exhales.

**You will be lipsyncing for your lives to 'Nothing Really Matters' by Madonna. I want to see you fucking FIGHT. RIP EACH OTHERS HAIR OUT.**

Malaria stops.

**I mean... I want to see you give your all. Don't fuck it up.**

*Sophie Violet: "I LOVE MADONNA. I'm excited. I never feel nervous about lip syncing and that's weird I know, but it's so ME! I'm going to give the judges a strong performance, and show a whole new side of Sophie."*

*Urethra Ranklin: "I'm not surprised to be here, but I know I have the ability to get further. I'm going to look the judges in the eye and prove why i'm not going home here."*

Both Queens give two entirely different performances. Urethra is sincere; she comes from a place of grace and gravitas, effortless moving across the stage as an ethereal presence. Sophie Violet is weird; she is light and airy and really inhabits the eclectic, strange vibe of Madonna's Ray of Light Era. It's two very different performances, but both really good. However, Urethra has the judges mesmerised.

**Urethra. Shantay you stay!**

*Urethra Ranklin: "It's clear it's time for me to show my talents beyond Aretha. I do not want to hit the bottom again."*

**Sophie Violet Cwumble... I have a feeling that you will be remembered for years to come. Now Sashay Away...**

Sophie smiles. "Thank Wu so much. Wike.. I didn't expect that someone wike me could get here. It's..." Sophie drops her character. "It's phenomenal."

The contestant's cheer as Sophie walks off.

*Sophie Violet: "I am happy with how I did. I put my all and it's gotten me here. Goodbye from the Cwinge Queen!."*

### Episode 9 - The Boss, Diana Ross: the Rusical

**Episode Recap:**

The Contestants enter the werkroom...

"Ahhh... being a winner feels good." Cryus grins.

"Well done lovely." Vitalia smiles. "My turn next."

"It could be any of us who win next." Katanna responds. "Each of us are talented."

"I mean, all of us have a win at this point." Gemini shrugs. "It's a tight race."

"I'm going to Miss Sophie." Melanie sighs. "Oh... Wu."

Sunny D laughs. "Gonna miss the Cringe."

The contestants all walk to areas to de-drag. Gemini is with Katanna, Vitalia with Cyrus... and Sunny and Melanie together. Urethra sits alone.

*Urethra Ranklin: "I see these little cliques have formed.. and honestly, whilst i've cultivated strong friendships with all of the contestants... except myself. But that's fine... it's those who work solo that sometimes have the best outcomes."*

~

The next Day, Vitalia and Cryus are chatting.

"I need another win." Vitalia looks anxious. "I feel myself fading into the background."

"Well... what are you going to do to step it up?" Cryus looks at Vitalia dead into the eyes. "If you don't feel like you are doing good enough... then step it up."

*Cryus: "I mean... it's not hard. Vitalia's cute, and i'm happy to get along with her. But if you aren't happy... do better."*

**YOU'VE GOT RU MAIL!**

**My Lucky 7... are you a Love Child? Do you consider yourself Cream of the Crop? Well... Let the Sunshine in... or be Swept away. Because remember... I'm the Boss!**

Urethra clicks. "Yup. It's Diana Ross."

*Urethra: "I know my references. Of course, I remain an Arethra Superfan... but Miss Ross is a classic Woman of Colour who was played in my household just as much as Aretha. I'm a huge fan and whatever this challenge is, I'm excited!"*

**Hello Hello Hello!**

**For this weeks mini challenge.. you will be.. getting into quick Drag and giving me a hoedown!**

~

**Vitalia Envy.. girl, you are a total ho! Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's mini-challenge!**

Vitalia smiles.

**My Contestants... for this weeks maxi-challenge, it's time for a MUSICAL!**

*Sunny D: "I know how to perform the house down. I've been waiting for this challenge."*

**This week ain't no ordinary musical... This time around, we are doing THE BOSS: Diana Ross, the unauthorised RUSICAL! Each of you will be playing a specific era of Diana Ross. Be it her early Supremes days.. her disco girl group era just before her solo debut.. her appearance in the famous Musical Movie the Wiz... or here status today as a living legend. You will also be singing your vocals... live.**

A few Queens who before looked excited... seem worried. Katanna, Sunny and Cyrus... all look slightly concerned.

*Cyrus: "I'm not a singer. But i'm a fucking performer. And that means I know how to steal a show."*

*Melanie Minaj: "The shot of adrenaline I get when Ru says... performing as Diana Ross.. then singing live.. then performing in a musical... this challenge is MADE for me."*

**Vitalia Envy... as the winner of the mini challenge, you will get to assign the roles.**

~

The contestants are chatting about the roles.

"I'm telling you all immediately, i'm taking the Wiz." Vitalia shrugs. "It's mine."

"Okay..." Katanna makes a face.

*Katanna: "I mean, she's the one who assigns the role. Not much more you can do. But she's going to piss people off."*

"I'd like the original. I want the first Supremes era, the early 60s Diana." Cryus looks at Vitalia. "It's perfect."

"I'd like that too.." Gemini smiles. "I think it's a great way to show off something different then what i've done before."

"I want the best album." Sunny D responds. "1980. Diana."

"I'd like-" Melanie starts, when Vitalia interrupts.

"I don't need to hear any of your pretences, i'm just assigning roles." Vitalia gives the assignments:

1. Cyrus as The Supremes Diana Ross
2. Melanie Minaj 'Diana Ross and the Supremes' Diana Ross
3. Katanna as Solo Debut Diana Ross
4. Vitalia Envy as 'The Wiz' Diana Ross
5. Sunny D as 'Diana' 1980 Diana Ross
6. Gemini Moon as 'Eaten Alive' Diana Ross
7. Urethra Ranklin as Living Legend Diana Ross

*Katanna: "Shaaaaaaaade."*

"Well, this was a waste of time!" Gemini Moon walks off.

*Gemini Moon: "I'm satisfied with my role. I can do anything, I mean... I'm a versatile performer. But what was the point of that whole discussion if you are just going to decide?" Gemini sighs. "Whatever. I'm going to perform the hell out of this."*

The contestants compete in the musical then walk the runway in 'Bald Beauty' Looks.

**I've made some decisions...**

**Sunny D, this week you gave us a great performance! However, your singing was.. not so great. You are safe.**

*Sunny D: "I'm a bit annoyed because this was a musical! But I have gotten to the Top 6... and that in itself is a reward. Bring on the next challenge."*

**Urethra... Melanie... Gemini. You are the Top Queens of the week.**

**Gemini... your look was a clear Top Toot. Your performance was incredible. You are safe.**

*Gemini Moon: "I feel like I did good in this challenge as someone who isn't a natural singer. I'm feeling really happy with where I am, entering the Top 6."*

**Urethra. Your performance as living legend Diana was next level. However, your look... just.... barely.... brought you down. Well done this week, you are SAFE.**

*Urethra Ranklin: "I can feeeeeel how close this was. I liked my grungy bald look. So close... yet so far."*

**Melanie, this week the challenge was all yours. You proved it to us with your dance moves, and then your singing... and then this LOOK! Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge.**

Melanie jumps. "YES!"

*Melanie Minaj: "Baby, I've gotten a second win. Ooooh this feels GOOD. I've gone from 14th... to 6th with two wins under my belt. Yay!"*

*~*

This brings me to the bottom 3 of the week. I want to preface it with this; at this point, until now... none of you were worthy of being in the bottom. This will be the first time for all three of you. We are at the point where it's really hard. And... you should be proud of yourselves for taking so long to get here.

**Katanna, your performance was poor this week. You gave us too much energy... and worst of all... it wasn't Diana.**

**Vitalia, your performance just made us... bored. You failed to capture any Magic of the Wiz.**

**Cryus, you can perform, but your vocals made us SREECH.**

**While we deliberate... you all may untuck backstage.**

~

"Ooof, that was ROUGH." Katanna grabs a drink. "Gonna need this..."

Cyrus runs straight to the mirror to prepare for the lip sync, as does Vitalia.

"So... how we all feeling." Urethra looks around.

"A bit annoyed, honestly." Katanna shrugs. "I mean, I clearly didn't do great, but I feel like Vitalia kinda fucked us all over."

Gemini raises his hand. "Have to agree."

"I mean... we all didn't have the roles we wanted, but that doesn't mean it's an excuse." Urethra responds. "I mean.."

"EXACTLY." Vitalia walks over to Katanna. "First of all, I have no requirement to do ANYONE any favours." Vitalia takes a sip of her drink. "Second of all, if I was going to help someone, it wouldn't be you Katanna."

"Oh shut up Vitalia." Katanna gives her the finger. "Shove it."

"Oh real immature you idiot." Vitalia throws her hands in the air. "You know what, I hope I get to lip sync tonight, and it's against you."

"So you get to lose?" Katanna laughs. "I think it's very clear. The judges made a wrong decision in bringing you back. You do a disservice to Drag Queens."

"And you're shit-stirrer." Vitalia shrugs. "See you on the main stage."

"I'm going to go practice my lip sync." Katanna walks up.

Gemini walks over. "You can do this. I wish you luck.. I can relate... it's tough, but you fight."

Katanna smirks. "Oh, I will."

"SO... Let's talk about our favourite ice-cream flavours." Sunny D grins. "Anyone?"

~

**I've made my decision.**

**Cyrus... you're safe.**

*Cyrus: "That's the closest i'm letting myself go to the bottom."*

**This means that Vitalia Envy and Katanna, you are the bottom two of the week. You will lip sync to 'Love Child', by Diana Ross and the Supremes. Good luck... and don't fuck it up!**

*Vitalia Envy: "I made it this far. I made it here with a promise to myself- I'd make it to the Top. I'm not giving up now, especially not against Katanna."*

*Katanna: "I'm excited for this. I'm actually worried for Miss Envy.. she's going to be in tears by the end of this number. Time to bring out the props."*

Immediately, Katanna inhabits the vibe of the song. She hits all the beats as she glides across the stage, shaking and turning and twisting. Vitalia tries hard; she busts out the moves she can, and then Katanna brings out a prop child. The judges are all gagged as she lip syncs with the toy child, making everyone laugh. Vitalia keeps trying to grab the judges attention, but it's clear.

**Katanna, Shantay You STAY!**

**Katanna: "I feel reinvigorated. The Magic is back in my veins, and I am here to shine."**

**Vitalia... you returned with a vengeance, and you made it here. You should be so proud of yourself. Now... Sashay Away.**

"Remember to fight for your passion." Vitalia waves. "And don't let anyone tell you can't fight."

*Vitalia Envy: "Of course I wanted to make it to the end. But from 14th to 7th... It's great. It's not what I wanted... but you can't always get what you want."*

### Episode 10 - It's Bingo Time!

**Episode Recap:**

The Contestants enter the werkroom.

"So... Top 6." Melanie smiles. "We've made it."

"Not quite the end of the journey." Cyrus responds.

"We're all quite close, aren't we." Urethra looks around. "I think any of us could take it."

"I think these last two weeks are important." Gemini cooly speaks.

"We've got to just be positive, happy and confident in our own abilities."

"At the end of the day..." Katanna looks around. "1 of us will win. The other 5... will be losers."

"So it's on." Cyrus puts on her 'Shade Blockers'.

*Cryus: "I was in the bottom last week, I cannot let myself get near there again. I want this crown, and the true battle... is just starting now."*

~

The Next Day, Sunny D and Melanie are talking 'track records'.

"So... everyone has a win." Sunny looks at Melanie. "And you, Gemini and Cryus have two."

"Yup." Melanie thinks. "And then Gemini, Katanna, me and Urethra have all lip synced."

"With Urethra lip syncing twice. And me and Cryus not lip syncing at all, but placing in the bottom 3 once."

"And everyone having more than 1 high, except Cyrus, who only has 1." Melanie looks at Sunny. "FUCK. It's tight."

"And there's two more wins to go.." Sunny crosses her arms. "I need a win."

**YOU'VE GOT RU-MAIL!**

**Have you ever played Bingo? It's truly a great game. You just have to make sure you call out the right numbers.**

"Vague..." Cyrus responds to the TV.

**HELLO HELLO HELLO!**

**For this weeks mini challenge... we're having a bitch fest. With PUPPETS!**

~

**Melanie Minaj! You are the winner of this weeks mini challenge.**

**My final 6. One major part of being a Drag Queen is hosting. Grabbing an audience. For this weeks maxi challenge, in teams of two, you will be hosting DRAG BINGO events at some local spots. However, you must also work together on an exciting act that grabs the audience attention. As the mini challenge winner Melanie, you get to choose your groups.**

"I think we're already in our groups, if everyone is happy with that?" Cryus is near Urethra, and Katanna next to Gemini.

"I'm good." Gemini smiles.

"Perfect!" Melanie grins.

*Melanie Minaj: "Me and Sunny are both incredible performers, so I want our act to be a paired, high choreography, high talent dance battle. Pure drag that will leave the gays screaming."*

~

Urethra and Cyrus are chatting.

"So... we're both funny Queens." Cyrus smiles. "And you know, beautiful Queens." Cryus laughs.

"I think I know what you're getting at." Urethra looks at Cryus. "Something comedic.. something that grips people.."

"A roast, but make it of the audience." Cryus gets excited.

*Cryus: "As anyone with a knowledge of this show would know, my drag family are LEGENDARY roasters. C-$alt, winner of All Stars won two separate challenges with her roasting abilities. All of us have the talent, and I think it's something great to whip out."*

"I have great hosting talents." Urethra smiles. "And whilst I haven't outright done a roast myself, I think having you be the stronger roaster-"

"And you the stronger hoster-" Cryus grins.

"It's perfect." Urethra high-fives Cryus.

~

Meanwhile, Gemini and Katanna are together.

"I think it's time I whip out the magic show." Katanna looks at Gemini. "It's so time right."

"It's PERFECT time." Gemini smiles.

*Katanna: "I am the world's first drag magician, and I know that we can steal the show through giving the judges something unlike they've ever seen before. I've trained for years in the art of magic, and now I can show those magic moments when I combine both Drag... and my Magic."*

"YES!" Katanna practically jumps six feet in the air. "I think we are so different, and us working on a show like this... we can really contrast well." Katanna smirks. "Are you ready to learn Magic, Gemini?"

"Sure am, Katanna."

~

The Final 6 Host Bingo and Give their Special Duo Performances!

1. Sunny D and Melanie Minaj: Superstar Lip Sync Battle
2. Cyrus and Urethra Ranklin: Roast and Bingo
3. Katanna and Gemini Moon: Drag Magic Show

The 6 then walk the runway in their best 'Carnival Couture'.

**My Final 6...**

**I just want to preface the results with this. Each of you did fantastically. I think this is my favourite Top 6... perhaps ever. I think .. I know that each of you could be a winner and i'd be happy. However... someone has to go.**

**Gemini Moon and Katanna, as a team you both SHINED. Your performances were truly magical. And Katanna, your carnival couture was nothing short of phenomenal. Condragulations, you are both the winner's of this weeks challenge!**

*Gemini Moon: "3 Wins down. This is where I want to be. I'm so happy to have been able to work with Katanna this week.. I've learnt a lot in this competition. But one major thing... is that working with people is okay. I don't always need to work solo."*

You may untuck backstage.

"So... we made it!" Katanna grins.

"Feels so good." Gemini cheers drinks with Katanna. "I just have to say... you were the real star tonight. You looked amazing. We worked together on the Magic... but really, you were the one who had the talent."

"Thank you." Katanna responds. "It feels good here to bring something different and get rewarded for it. I just.. I was worried I wouldn't be understood here. And to make it to this point.." Katanna smiles. "It feels fantastic."

"I felt the same." Gemini looks at Katanna. "I mean.. i'm a Drag King who is sometimes a Bio Queen. The last AFAB contestants have been early outs. And now... i'm in the Top 5."

"It's a testament to your ability. You are a Star... and I hope to see you in the Top 3 with me." Katanna laughs.

"Oh, I'll be there." Gemini smirks.

~

**My Four Queens..**

**If I'm being honest, the four of you all had equal performances in this challenge. Therefore... you will be judges as individuals, with your looks being the tiebreaker.**

**Cryus.. your roast had us roaring... and this look tonight was gorgeous. You are safe.**

*Cryus: "I made it to the Top 5, and that's great. But i'm worried for Urethra."*

**Urethra.. you were hilarious in the challenge. But your look had us.. worried. It was too messy, not enough couture.**

**Sunny D... you are a truly performer. But have you coasted for too long?**

**Melanie Minaj... you've got the moves baby... but sometimes we worry... do you have enough more than performance ability to make it to the final 3?**

**...Sunny D. You are safe.**

*Sunny D: "I'm bummed because I really thought I had a chance at winning. Worse... Melanie is in the bottom. It's a testament to the challenge, how close we all were."*

**That means that Melanie Minaj and Urethra Ranklin, you two are the bottom two of the week. You will lip sync to 'Rise Like A Phoenix' by Conchita Wurst. Good luck.. and don't fuck it up.**

*Melanie Minaj: "Urethra is a phenomenal Queen baby. But I'm not giving up here. I am going to give my ALL. I need to be in the final 3."*

*Uretha Ranklin: "I know Melanie and lip sync and dance her heart out. But this song is about soul and emotion, and that's one thing I've got in spades. I may have died on the stage, but just like a phoenix, i'm going to rise."*

Both Queens are full of grace and power as they deliver their performances on stage. Urethra instantly captivates the judges; she gives all of the power and grace that song is comprised of. But Melanie delivers a more somber performance initially; you feel her angst and strength, continually building and building until she truly RISES. Everyone is obsessed- it's one of the best lip syncs of the season.

**Melanie... Shantay you stay.**

*Melanie Minaj: "I may have lip synced, but it was worth it. I'm here. I made it to the this final challenge... and I feel ready for the last round baby."*

**Urethra... you are a great Queen, and your talents are undeniable. Now... Sashay Away.**

Everyone hugs Urethra as she leaves. It is clear, there is lots of love for Urethra.

*Urethra Ranklin: "I'm so happy to have made it to here. I think i've proven that I am a talented Drag Queen... and one of the best impersonators to be on this show. I've surprised even myself, and that's great."*

### Episode 11 - Stop the Lights

**Episode Recap:**

The 5 enter the werkroom...

"A Legend gone." Cyrus sighs.

Cryus: "I feel disappointed. I really gained a strong friendship with Urethra over the course of the last week... and her artisty is truly second to none. She's the definition of underrated.. so it's kinda like, damn."

"It's shit." Katanna shrugs. "But the reality is, she had the worst scorecard. And at this point, that is what matters."

"But scorecard isn't everything," Melanie responds. "We've seen competitors go home against weaker scoring contestants. It's a race... until the very last moment. Regardless of scorecard."

"Especially at the Top 5... the only way to survive is to win the challenge." Sunny D looks around. "Otherwise... you can be out in an instant. I mean the reality is... two of us will go home next. And I don't necessarily think we can expect to be the 'worst scorecard'. That's a weak argument."

"WOO!" Cyrus laughs. "Finally, same fire in you Sunny! I'm loving it."

"You aren't wrong." Gemini looks around. "Any of us can still take the crown."

*Sunny D: "Of course, I have a weaker scorecard than others with only one other win. So this attitude that... scorecard matters so much here is getting to me a little. But I know that I'm a superstar performer. I want to win this verse challenge and prove to these Queens... i'm a threat. Because right now.. they don't see it."*

~

The Next Day, everyone is excited.

"So... we know what's next." Gemini starts. "Is everyone ready for their Verse?"

"I sure am." Melanie grins. "I know I've said it before... but this is the challenge I've been waiting for. The opportunity to write and perform a verse about myself... It's a dream."

"But we have to be prepared for any genre." Cyrus sharpens his nails. "It could be some magic song that Katanna would thrive in."

"Oh, you are a BITCH!" Katanna laughs. "Let's not forget you were in the bottom 3 for the musical too!"

"Because it was singing, baby." Cyrus smiles. "I'm pretty sure it won't be singing this time around."

*Cryus: "I'm aware that i'm in a good position, but I know I could be in a better position. I want to be on par with Gemini. That means I need to win this challenge..."*

**YOU'VE GOT RU-MAIL!**

**My Final 5... lets take a trip back into the past. F\*\*\*\*our-on-the-floor** **beats, S\*\*\*\*yncopated** **basslines, S\*\*\*\*tring** **Sections, Horns, E\*\*\*\*lectric** **Piano, Synthesizers, and Electric R\*\*\*\*hythm** **Guitars. You know what i'm talking about?**

"DISCO!" Sunny D yells.

..."Disco?" Katanna looks around. "Really?"

"Oh, how don't you know?" Sunny D laughs. "It's obvious."

**HELLO HELLO HELLO!**

**My Final 5. For the final challenge of the season, you 5 will be writing your own verses and performances to my hit new song, STOP THE LIGHTS. This song is a true tribute to the 1970s; a Disco anthem where I want to see each of you take it to the dancefloor. I want your verses to be uniquely you. This challenge is perhaps one of the most important of the season. Not only will it mean automatic entry into the Top 3.. you will get to decide who competes against whom in the LIP SYNC BONANZA. You want to win this challenge.**

*Gemini Moon: "I kinda am living for the fact this is Disco. Disco is an innately Queer genre in my eyes. I think I can really bring a different edge that I wouldn't have been able to in any other 'normal' kind of verse challenge."*

~

The Final 5 are getting ready for their 'Stop the Lights' performance.

"So... what is everyone's favourite moment of the season?" Cyrus starts, putting on a very strange looking makeup... appearing to look burnt. "Mine is winning my first episode. I feel like it just... screamed to me that I was here. In the right place, at the right time."

"Mine was the Bingo win." Katanna grins. "I got to do Magic. And I mean... I felt like I was at home. I'd never felt like a threat and that I can actually win... until I got there."

"I loved winning the Draglympics." Melanie tears up. "I told myself... Baby, you are going to go home first. You're going to fall on your face again. And when I won that challenge it was... saying... hello Melanie, that's not going that way this time. And it felt so good."

"Even though I was robbed..." Sunny laughs. "I loved the Disease challenge. Having Malaria host.. it was just different and weird and I just lived for it."

"I think mine wasn't a singular moment." Gemini smiles. "Mine was realising that... I can work well with people, I can be open and honest about my experiences... and that just feels so good. And-"

Gemini stares at Cyrus. "WOAH Cyrus, you look somehow terrifying and amazing? What's going on?"

Cryus smirks. "Ya'll see."

*Cyrus: "My look tonight is a reflection of the Disco Demotilion Night in 1979. An attack on the Queer, Heavily Black Genre that is Disco, the night was when thousands of primarily white, hetrosexual men burned disco records.. purely out of racism and homophobia. As a Queer Man of Colour myself, I feel like I can make a strong statement. You will try to burn us, but we will come out of the flames shining brighter then any of you."*

~

The Final 5 give their verses to Rupaul's new song, 'Stop the Lights'.

"Try us." Cryus enters the stage in a plain gown, looking very much like a conservative woman straight out of the 1970s. She discusses her journey; referencing her wins, and her (near perfect) record. It's great, and then the lights stop. SUDDENLY, Cyrus is lit alight, and transformed into a whole new disco-themed outfit, with high-level special effects looking as if she is burnt in half. She raps through her survival despite all odds (referencing her EDS, discrimination in America, and 'these other Queens' (to which the judges laugh). She's high energy, and it's a strong start to the song.

"Let's bring the LIGHT IN!" Sunny D grins as she appears in stage looking like a fun hippie combined with a glamorous disco diva. She delivers a high-quality performance that brings a lot of light and positivity. It's cute, and then she shakes it up; high energy choreography that is so intricate and quick that it almost gives everyone a headache. Everyone's thinking one thing; 'How the hell can she DO THAT?!" And she ends it with a killer dip.

"It's alriiiight, it's okay...." Gemini Moon walks out in his Drag King best; looking straight out of Saturday Night Fever, he looks like a dragged up John Travolta that has everyone dying. It's high camp, it's high drag and it's the first time a Drag King has performed a verse, and it's unlike all other verses seen before. Gemini has fun; he delivers a classic disco performance, with all the moves; The Hustle, The YMCA.. everything. He sings through his triumphs and his realisation.... "IT'S ALL JUST FUN, and it's fun together!" He winks and points at the other contestants on stage, and it's a great performance.

"Oooooh, I feeeeeeel good..." Melanie prances out on stage dressed in incredibly long, sleek hair and an incredibly tight-fitting, phenomenal jumpsuit. She brings a strong presence on stage; it's clear she's got the disco references down pat, and then she starts rapping her verse, making it clear she's the performer- she glides across the stage, the male performers making her float in the air; it's heavenly and sexy; she brings the heat, and it makes all the judges sweat.

Katanna glitters as she rises above onto the stage, posing and grinning. "Let's do this!" Katanna's prances around the stage as she sings her pun-heavy verse, with lots of references to the many props she loves to use. And then it appears; A Giant, white animatronic horse which she begins to ride on stage, embracing her inner Studio 54 Diva. It's funny, it's full of props, and it's totally Katanna.

**My Final 5. All of you bring so much to the table, and all of us are superstars. However.. I've made my decision.**

**Melanie Minaj! You performed the hell out of this challenge. Condragulations, you are in the GRAND FINALE!**

*Melanie Minaj: "I MADE IT. I'm going to be in the finale. From first out... to here. Wow."*

**Now welcome back last Season's Winner, Heaven St Frostfur!**

"Hello the Final 5. It's great to see such an interesting mix of Queens."

**Heaven is here to reveal the lip-sync bonanza songs she's chosen for you all.**

"Because Malaria gets a whole challenge dedicated to herself... I get this solo." Heaven laughs. "I'm choosing a Drag Classic that up into this point, hasn't been done on Virtual Drag Race... It's CHER BITCH!"

*Melanie Minaj: "Oh this would've been so fun. But safety tastes... even better!"*

**Melanie... as the winner, you get to choose the final pairings. Now... who's lipsyncing to 'Strong Enough?'**

"I'm choosing the pairings based on who I think can deliver the lipsyncs. I really think both of these two can kill this song... Cyrus and Sunny D."

**Very well.**

**Cryus and Sunny D, you stand before me. You will be lip syncing to 'Strong Enough' by Cher! This is your last chance to impress me... and save yourselves... from elimination. Good luck... and don't FUCK IT UP!**

*Sunny D: "This is the final hurdle. I need to deliver here to prove I deserve to make it to the finale. I'm going to prove it here. I am Strong Enough to make it."*

*Cyrus: "Sunny D's a great performer, but I KNOW I can match it. I have the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent to win. So I'm going to give my all... I will win this."*

**...And that leaves Katanna and Gemini Moon. You two will lipsync to 'Dark Lady' by Cher. This is your last chance to impress me... and save yourselves... from elimination. Good luck... and don't FUCK IT UP!**

*Katanna: "I love Gemini, but I need to get into the finale. This is a witchy, magical song and I know I can kill it."*

*Gemini Moon: "I am not leaving tonight. I will be proving my strength right now, right here. I am going to enchant the judges, I'm going to dazzle, i'm going to make it."*

**Sunny D and Cyrus both give strength and power as they perform. Cyrus stuns, doing a third reveal that cuts away the burning disco look to reveal a full painted, glamorous look. She matches Sunny's energy and then some.**

**Cryus... Shantay You Stay!**

*Cyrus: "I've made it to the Top 3... Damn it feels good."*

**Sunny D... you have made us all proud. We loved seeing you shine. Now... Sashay Away.**

*Sunny D: "I got so close. SO CLOSE. I just hope I can one day get the opportunity to prove i'm a winner. I know I am."*

Katanna and Gemini Moon both deliver strong, witchy vibes. They looks enchanting as they lipsync together. Unlike other performances, they both are strongly complimenting each other- it's clear there's a strong level of friendship that in turn makes the performance even more exciting. As the final chorus hits, Gemini throws what appears to be firecrackers, and then Katanna brings out a bunch of sparklers. It's fun, and everyone loves it.

This is tough...

....

**Gemini Moon, Shantay You Stay!**

*Gemini Moon: "Everything has lead to this final moment. I'm a finalist in Season 6 of Virtual Drag Race."*

Katanna and Gemini both hug each other tightly.

**Katanna... you are truly a magical Queen. Now Sashay Away..**

*Katanna: "I feel so good about getting here. I've made friends for life, and I will always be the Magician Queen."*

**MY FINAL 3!**

**I am so happy to have you representing the very best Drag around. I feel excited to see what you bring to the finale.**

Melanie Minaj: 3 Wins, 2 Lows, 2 Bottoms 2's

Cyrus: 2 Wins, 1 Highs, 1 Low

Gemini Moon: 3 Wins, 2 Highs, 1 Bottom 2

### Episode 12 - The Grand Finale

**Episode Recap:**

**It's the Virtual Drag Race Finale! Let's bring back my DRAG SUPERSTARS!**

**Back Back Back Again, It's Maya Hook!**

**She's a Barbie Girl, It's Nancy Doll!**

**The Legend, King Darin!**

**She's got it. Miss Thang!**

**She's got Royal Blood, Seondeok!**

**You all love her.. Mai Clee Toriss!**

**Cwinge Kween, Sophie Violet!**

**She's back with a vengeance! Vitalia Envy.**

**Is that Aretha? Nope, it's Urethra Ranklin!**

**Our bright spot, Sunny D!**

**Oh Oh It's Magic! Katanna!**

**And OUR TOP 3! Gemini Moon, Cyrus and Melanie Minaj!**

**Tonight, I'll be interviewing each of the Top 3 about their experiences. And then, you will be voting to cut one Queen.. and the final two will battle it out FOR THE CROWN!**

**Up First... She's Truly Sickening. It's Melanie Minaj.**

~

**So... Melanie, how do you feel being in the Top 3 Tonight?**

"Breathless. This is a dream. I'm honest when I say I could end it right here and just be so darn happy."

**You are one of four returning contestants this season and are the only one who made it to the finale. Why do you think that?**

"I think I brought a different energy. I think all my returning sisters are great people, but I feel like I just was able to excel in this season. I didn't win a team challenge, I didn't win a 2 winner challenge... I got all my wins solo."

**You've also been in the bottom the most. Do you think that will hinder you?**

"Not at all. I think it proves that I can bounce back. After every bottom, I came back within a win."

**Now, your dance skills are beyond compare. You are one of the best performers the show's ever seen... how did you go home first?!**

"I was young, and I really failed to understand my own ability. I think I had so much fire, but the stove wasn't on. And this time... it's clearly on baby."

**And... who is here for you tonight?**

"The Cast of Season 2! I mean... all 13 of them. I feel really lucky because I have double the family as the other girls."

**Finally... what's next?**

"I want to make a girl group." Melanie smiles. "Seriously! I feel like some of the dancing diva's of this series have kinda been underrated... so I'm putting a show together to tour the world and show it off."

~

**Cyrus! Welcome to the Grand Finale. How does it feel?**

"It feels correct. But I'm starving."

**Starving?**

"For the Crown, of course. Practically ravenous."

**You're a bit competitor. I mean, your entire house is. 3 out of 4 of you made the Top 5.**

"And we have a legendary winner too of course." Cyrus smiles. "I want to be the C-$alt of the season... but winning the crown the first time around."

**You've been open and honest about your passion for winning, and your straight-minded approach to the crown. Do you think that's what stopped you from being in the bottom 2 in this competition?**

"Definitely. I am someone who strives for perfection and that was seen in my own performance. I feel like as someone who suffers a painful disease myself, I am conscious of my own mortality. If anything, it pushes me to just.... do better."

**Now, who is here for you tonight?**

"The entire house! C-$alt, Indigo, P0yzon... they're all here for me."

**And... what's next?**

"Winning." Cyrus smirks.

~

**Gemini Moon! How are you tonight?**

"Amazing. I made it to the Top 3!"

**Now.. you've had a big journey.**

"Massive. I've learnt so much."

**But what's quite different from a lot... is your drag is top tier. You didn't level up your Drag, you levelled up your personality. How do you think that happened?**

"I feel like I came here a full package, in need of some extras. I was a bit rough and frozen, and I learnt that I could be open and honest and still create wonderous experiences for myself. So.... I think it was just learning to be open."

**You are also the first King in this competition to make to the finale. How does it feel?**

"It feels incredible. I feel like labelling myself was something I never liked to do, but I am someone who primarily does male presenting drag. So getting here like this this... it's great."

**Now, who's here to support you?**

Seondeok and Katanna have become my Drag Family! They're my big supporters here tonight.

**Finally... what's next?**

"I just want to improve upon my own drag. Give a greater platform to diverse Queer artists and... make some more friends."

~

**Sophie Violet Cwumble... I guess we will be seeing you in All Stars as Our Season 6 Fan Favourite!**

"One word." Sophie grins. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

The Crowd cheers.

**We've taken into consideration the votes...**

**And now,**

**We have to say goodbye to someone.**

...

...

...

...

...

**I am sorry, Melanie Minaj But it is not your time. Now, Sashay Away...**

"Talk about redemption! I made it here, and it feels so damn good to be here. Thank you for giving me a second chance." Melanie smiles as she walks off.

**Now, before we crown a Queen... It is time for a little retrospective**.

This Season, your favourite challenge was **Beach Holiday Time!**

This Season, your favourite runway was **Knight in Shining Armor!**

This Season, your favourite lip sync was **High Hopes** by **Panic! At the Disco**!

At the end of Week Three, Your Expected Top 3 was **Sunny D, Vitalia Envy and Melanie Minaj!**

At the end of Week Ten, Your Expected Top 3 **Katanna, Cryus and Gemini Moon**

Your Favourite Storyline was **Mai Clee Toriss.. and a lot of DRAMA.**

~

**Now... It is time for us to crown our winner... but first... each of them will give a speech for why they deserve the crown.**

Cyrus looks around. "I'm something different. I've worked hard to get here, and i'm the true development of my Drag family- fierce, fashion and someone who has faced so much adversity but has been able to move forward every single time. I deserve the crown because I never fucked it up- I was almost always perfection, and I would be finally getting the house of Kunt a Crown... the first time around."

"I've learnt. I've learnt so much, and i've developed. I came here a King who had no friends, and an unhealthy attitude and I've become a better person. I've learnt to love and to fight, i've faced adversity and i've lip synced for my laugh. I've won three challenges, and I've managed to get here because I am a top tier drag performer. I do everything- I am the entire Queer Spectrum of Drag Art. I will be your first King, and will usher in a whole new era of drag SUPERSTARS!"

**Two Potential Winners stand before me. You will lip-sync to 'Diamonds', By Rihanna. One of you will take the crown. Good luck... and don't fuck it up.**

Both contestants give their very all throughout the song. Cyrus shines dressed in a high-fashion look that has the judges enamoured, and Gemini wears a suit that at first, appears quite simple; until he does a reveal, transforming himself into what looks like pure Diamond.

**After one fantastic season...**

**I've had 12 Queens Eliminated.**

**11 Challenges.**

**And Now.**

**One.**

**Winner to be Crowned.**

**Helping Crown our Queen... It's the last Seasons Winners, Malaria and Heaven St Frostfur!**

"I'm excited to see you both here. You both were the best of the best..."

"Let's get this going, I have a gentleman caller..."

~

**And now it's time. The Winner of Virtual Drag Race, Season 6... is......**
