- As gay people, we get to choose our families,
because sometimes the families
we grew up with don't understand us.
So when I recently reached out with an invitation
to your moms and sisters, I'm sorry to say
that not one of them accepted my invitation,
(melancholic music)
They all did.
- Wow.
- For your main challenge,
you'll transform these silver daddies into your drag mamas.
And, ladies, I expect to see a definite family resemblance.
- Come on with one.
- Oh wait. - Two.
- In early gay liberation
I did what we called scag drag
gender (bleep), you know
where we like wear combat boots and frilly dresses.
- I see a fierce diva in my drag mother.
So I think that Tatiana did a good job pairing me up.
Thank you Tatiana.
- This is like three quarters of an inch taller
and that's just enough to send me into the orthopedic ward.
You know what I'm saying darling?
- Yes, yes.
So Michael does have a limp.
- Oh Jesus.
- I think some of the other girls might think I
made a bad decision choosing Michael because of his leg.
- Ms. Tatiana got one that can't walk in heels.
- Mhmm.
- But who cares.
- Ouch.
No way.
- Really?
- This is gonna take some work.
(dance music playing)
- We both have a similar idea of what we want to do.
(dance music continues)
Michael was definitely telling me about how,
he used to work at a disco.
So he really felt a connection to the music.
- And have you ever put on pantyhose before?
- No.
- Can you do a running back handspring?
So we get out onto the main stage
for 20 minutes of rehearsal.
My drag mom has bad eyes so I can see her standing there
and kind of like looking like
where are you as I walk out there
and I know that the lights are gonna be even brighter.
So I'm like
this bitch is not gonna be able to see what she's doing.
Try walking by yourself.
You're so dainty about it.
(laughing)
Stop. Put your hand on your hip
and then turn.
- Turn
- All the way around.
- Okay.
- And then walk backwards.
She needs direction like she needs you to say
This is where we're going.
This is when we're walking.
This is what we're doing.
Turn walk toward each other.
Is that too much for you?
- No, it's okay.
- Okay. So go to that corner over there.
So I'm hoping she doesn't fall
or break something.
Pretty easy, right?
- No, this is a lot to learn.
- [Ru Paul] This is Raven and her drag mother.
Golda Lamé.
- She's totally freaked out about walking.
I would just was very nervous that she was gonna fall.
I mean, she doesn't walk in heels
but she's sparkling and she's loving it.
- [Ru Paul] Mama Mia,
A cougar and her cub.
Raven, let's start with you.
- This is Ms. Golda Lamé.
- Let's take a look at your drag mother before.
- Oh
- Wow
- We used a dark brown eyeshadow.
We didn't wanna use pencil because it looks a little harsh.
- [Ru Paul] I could see that you're wearing
the exact same makeup.
- I am.
- You guys coordinate without matching too much
and it works for both body types.
- Your lip sync was very, very good too,
which I noticed right away
because in films that's what we always did.
It's not easy to lip sync.
I've never seen anybody quite dance like the mother.
You won't give Ginger Rogers any contest you know.
(laughing)
- Raven, is there anything you wanna say?
- Thank you for this experience
and for allowing me to work with Steven.
I respect Steven so much
because he did a lot as far as the gay rights liberation.
I thank you.
(clapping)
- It's because of people like Steven
that we are able to do this show.
Tatiana.
- This is Analicia.
- Oh wow.
- We actually use a little bit of like a red lipstick
to counteract the beard color.
I use the pink blush on the apples
of the cheek just to give a little flush.
- I would've used a brighter color lips.
- Older ladies do not wear dark brown lips
unless they're Judy Davis.
- I thought your lip sync was very good.
The walker killed me, I loved it a lot.
- Your facial expression too.
I loved it.
I thought it added to the whole performance.
- You were really funny.
- Thank you.
- Raven, for giving the most dramatic makeover,
and literally carrying Golda Lamé
proving that she ain't heavy.
She's your mama.
Raven, congratulations.
You're the winner of this week's challenge.
- Thank you. (clapping)
- Hello. Hello. Hello.
(contestants exclaiming)
- Now, in the past I've challenged my queens to
do some pretty special makeovers,
gay veterans,
Stonewall heroes and little women just to name a few.
But this season promises to be the most extra special one
of all.
And we don't have to look any further
than just behind the camera.
(gasping)
For this week's maxi challenge
you'll be giving our beloved crew members
the chance to strut a mile in your shoes.
(screaming)
- I like a strong and powerful woman.
So I'm going with Duncan.
(laughing)
I feel like Duncan's so serious when he is being RAD
and I want to see his playful side.
- Who do you choose for Trinity?
- Rizzo.
(laughing)
- Okay. I'm known for body.
- Okay.
- So I would like to make a swimsuit for you.
How do you feel about tucking?
- It's gonna hurt.
- But with a swimsuit it's like it's very there.
You gotta pull it back or I'm gonna pull it back for you.
With Rizzo, I'm gonna crack the whip.
I haven't won a challenge in a few weeks and so I
have to work hard and show them that I wanna go all the way.
(upbeat music)
- That's great.
You're walking like Pearl now.
It's perfect.
You look stoned, and very fashionable.
I was a little scared of Duncan cause he's so strict with us
but Duncan is feeling the fantasy.
- Mhmm.
- Oh my goodness.
Look at those little shoes.
These are real drag heels. (laughing)
- Oh yeah Sarge. Yeah?
- Mommy's taking you to church for the first time?
(laughing)
- Working with him it's amazing how
I'm not in my head at all.
I haven't had this much fun or felt this relaxed.
- Woo. It's like the little mermaid.
- It's the little mermaid.
- Except she was a big dude.
(laughing)
- See that was good. That was shade.
- Okay.
(laughing)
- Category is let's meet the new Ru crew.
First up Trinity Taylor and Glittafa Dayze.
Ladies and gentlemen, the cheetah girls.
Oh!
- Glittafa Dayze looks like a true tailor.
This tuck is (bleep) fierce.
- I think the store's all out of Aqua net.
(laughing)
- Are we sure this is the first time.
(laughing)
- Sasha Velour and Dunatella Velour.
That hat is on my bucket list.
(laughing)
- We're two east coast sisters
in the 1940s looking to make a big in Hollywood.
I think these are really really fashionable looks
and Dunatella looks beautiful.
- Aww
wait, wait a minute.
- Oh
- Velour!
- That look really said something.
- What label whores?
(laughing)
First up, Trinity Taylor and Glittafa Dayze.
- The family resemblance is hard to deny.
And you did the most intricate choreography.
- Yeah. So impressive.
I can barely walk in those shoes, let alone like dance
- Glittafa.
- If I didn't know better,
It looked like you've been doing this for a minute.
- But beyond I think having a great partner,
it's about how you communicate and guide
and I think this was probably the tightest presentation.
- Is that code for tuck?
- Yes, exactly.
- How is your tuck holding up?
- The pain is real.
- Well, pain is real.
- Now what do you think you're gonna take
from this experience?
- I'm gonna take this tape off.
- Oh
(laughing)
- Up next Sasha Velour
and Dunatella Velour.
- This looks so high fashion, looks like Miu miu on acid.
- The proportion of the dress
and the coat and all these pops of color.
I really, really love it.
- Now Dunatella, there is something that you're doing.
It's strangely turning me on.
- I learned it from watching you dear.
(laughing)
- Trinity Taylor, you gave us glitter for days.
Months,
Years.
Condragulations. You're the winner of this week's challenge.
- Congrats congrats congrats!
- Racers.
You need to take your beautiful moms
and sisters and transform them into glamorous, gag worthy
sickening drag queens.
The judges will be looking
for a strong drag family resemblance.
Mom, sisters, are you scared?
- No. Nah,
- that's my girls.
- Amazing.
- You've seen my makeup and you're scared.
- Do my own.
(upbeat music)
- Your arms can be a little more relaxed, you know.
- Sorry.
Cause I'm like a plastic doll.
- Right Gina, let's show them how it's done.
- Here we go.
- God.
(vocalizing)
- They seem to have a lot of choreography
and stuff like that.
Obviously our mum's not gonna be able to do that
but I think as long
as we get that family resemblance spot on.
As long as you you're on brand with Becca
and you look like part of the Becca family
and you look part of my family, we've got it.
Don't let that put your eye.
- Although on the outside this doesn't look
like the hardest challenge.
This is definitely the most emotionally hard just
because my head's everywhere.
I'm trying to make me mum feel good
and I can see the other girls doing full on choreography.
My mum can't do that.
- Up next, the Vivian and the mother.
- What a mother tucker.
(laughing)
- Me and my mom have hit the runway
and her confidence is shining through.
She's the rich duchess,
I'm the gorgeous daughter.
We're going to the serpentine ball, getting the rich fellas.
I'm getting the wallet and she's getting the man
- Dynasty and diamonds
(laughing)
- As we're walking down the runway.
I thought I was gonna have to be guiding me mom
but she's smashing it.
Go on mom.
- Opulence. You earn everything.
- I think you mean own.
- Oh.
Up next Divina de Campo and Delica de Campo.
- What to expect when you're expecting.
- Trotting down the runway
and we are bringing you pure Brit girls.
- We have got our white dresses
which are stoned all over the see through.
We've got our babies and we've got our big red wigs
which match
Terrence is smashing this on the runway.
Smashing it up.
- I think Chucky's had a tucky
- The Vivian, and this is the mother.
Gorgeous.
- It's black magic.
You look absolutely wonderful.
The hair is a little bit pekingese
like one of those dogs
with a parting but I feel you really do
compliment each other.
And she's absolutely adorable.
- I'm fuming, I've been waiting 10 years to get
on the show and she rocks through us all.
- Next up, Davina Decapo
and this is Delica Decapo.
- I honestly didn't know which one was which cause,
- Yay!
- I was like, I don't know.
Like for real guys.
Yeah. So that is amazing.
I loved the kind of theatrical nature of it.
Like suddenly you just, we have some British.
I loved that, sort of like a sweat.
- I love the slinky outfit and I love the the big red hair.
You look like two very sexy patio heaters.
(laughing)
- And you could see the bond.
You could see how much fun you were having together
and it was just so lovely to see.
- So before I put my nose in my mouth, as I've done before
I'm assuming you added a little belly to be pregnant
like your sister.
Please don't tell me I'm wrong.
- Stop it.
- I'm just really bloated.
- Stop it
- I love that you did her belly too
cause there's nothing more drag than a pregnant drag queen.
- How many months along are you?
- Just over four.
- Aww.
- Just under three
(laughing)
- Different father?
- Yeah.
- I hope so.
(laughing)
- I feel sick.
- Davina de Campo, you turned Sister Delisha
into one yummy mummy to be
Condragulations. You are the winner
of this week's challenge.
- Oh my goodness.
- Yay.
- Oh my god Thank you so much.
I promise I won't be Ashi.
- Hello, Hello, Hello
ladies.
Now Queens.
As gay people, we get to choose our families
because sometimes the families we grew
up with don't understand us.
So when I recently reached out with an invitation
to your moms and sisters, I'm sorry to say that
not one of them accepted my invitation.
(melancholic music)
- They all did.
- Wow.
- You need to transform your loved one
into a member of your Royal Drag family.
Oh,
one more thing.
Tomorrow, in addition to your drag transformations
each family unit needs to vogue the house down.
- Oh god.
- In a special performance on the main stage.
So good luck and
don't (bleep) it up.
- Oh, pardon my French.
Okay.
(dance music begins)
- Oh!
Ah!
- Serving glamour, family style.
Alyssa and Ava Edwards.
Oh my goodness.
- They're all out of Aqua Net at the store.
- Oh baby.
So much hair on the runway.
Miss Tabitha, aka Ava Edwards
is all up in
the gig.
- Oh honey Don't Mess with Texas.
Up Next.
Detox and D-Rama.
- Ooh
- The sisters are doing it for who?
- Themselves.
- We are superhero, badass, Glamazon bitches
serving major body, yada, yada yada yady
- Detox and her technic color dream girl.
Up next, Katya and Svetlana Borisnova.
- Yoda lay hee hoo.
- Emphasis on the ho.
- Mama.
(laughing)
- I'm giving 70s Sylvia Anna Karenina.
And she's giving confused
bumbling babushka.
- What they're wearing.
Would you call that Russian dressing?
I think that was it yeah.
First up, Alyssa and Ava Edwards.
- I love the Vogue so much.
I felt like it was like a weird
like birds of death nightmare that I never wanted to end.
- I did think you had too much going
on in that ensemble, Alyssa, even for you.
But this runway tonight is everything that I love
about Alyssa Edwards.
- I have to agree and you look so fantastic.
- Thank you.
- I think you nailed the challenge perfectly
because you look like sisters.
- Thank you so much.
- Up next Detox
and D-Rama
- I thought that you two had the most
cohesive performance of the night.
If this was a lip sync
I'm not quite sure which one of you would be winning.
You were that good.
- I love all of this.
I love the origami fascinator.
It's like Dunatella Versace for the Hunger Games
- And the strongest family resemblance.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
I'm just super proud of the thought
and the work you put in tonight.
- Up next, Katya and
Svetlana Borisnova.
How'd I do with the name?
- Terribly.
- Yeah, say it for me.
- Borisnova.
- And this is Svetlana Boris...
- I think the vogueing thing was not high up
on the scale of things I love to do in life for Katya.
- Yeah.
- but then you came out here
with this storyline and I was like,
Yes.
- It just completely flipped the switch for me.
It felt so Katya.
- You're giving us this like vintage missoni kind of look.
It's something that they would wear
in real Housewives of Mince.
(laughing)
- Yes, really one of the highlights of the evening.
- I will say, sidebar
your mother completely stole the show.
- Yes.
- You're acting.
I mean, you deserve a Tony Award for that.
- Thank you.
- Detox
Katya,
