Part 1:

Tycene: “Wow, that was a lip-sync that will go down in history! And I have made my hard decision…

… Pepsi Max, condragulations, you’re a winner baby! You are moving on to the Lip Sync For The Win, and are in the Grand Finale!”, Pepsi is so excited.

Pepsi: “I am so gagged and gooped. These 10 weeks have paid off, and it comes to show. See you at the finale”, they go ahead and kiss the camera.

Tycene: “You may take a seat”, she says and Pepsi does so.

“Micronesiarain, you are continuing to be in the hot seat, you are going to the Lip Sync For Your Life, which there’s a ⅓ chance of you surviving. You may take a seat as well.”, she says, and Micro takes a seat.

Tycene: “Our next lip sync, Unieke vs. Mimi Martini, please step forward”, she says and they both go on stage.

Mimi: “I won’t go in scared. Unieke’s a strong competitor, but I will still give it my all like I did last week and survived. If the drag gods saved me is up for question”, she looks left and right.

Tycene: “Two queens stand before me. Tonight, you will be lip syncing to… Happiness by Little Mix”, she announces. Unieke is screaming inside because that’s a good song as well. “This is your chance to impress me, win this round, advance to the Lip Sync For The Win, and automatically advance to the Grand Finale of Season 5. Good luck, and don’t mix it up”, she shouts.

◦ The song starts and Unieke is already in her element. She starts going to the ground in the beginning. Mimi tries to sell comedy, it is kinda working. Unieke is giving a love story, bitch, and it’s serving. Unieke serves voguing and the judges are living for it. She is very much representing the ballroom scene.

Micro: “I see it was a good reason why I gave her that voguing class as a birthday present. You werk those moves, bitch!”, Micro is living for her performance.

Jigsaw: “Mimi is making me laugh a lot, it’s so funny and stupid!”, she says.

◦ Unieke is also trying to give comedy, and it is working just like with Mimi. Unieke serves splits, unexpected ones, and back-bends that are just amazing. Seeing her like that makes the judges think that she’s a star and has 100% potential. Spins, splits, everything! Mimi’s comedy is very selling and it’s going very good. It is a great lip-sync with two personalities. Mimi tries to dance, and it’s working, the judges are shocked. They hit a split at the same time, and everyone goes wild. Beninne even leaves her chair. In the end, Unieke gets picked up by Mimi, and no, not Mimi Imfurst, Mimi Martini picks her up in a victory way, as an ending pose.

Tycene: “You bitches are writing motha-tucking history! That ate so hard! But… I’ve made yet another hard decision…

… Unieke, you voguing bitch, you’re a winner, darling! You are given the shot at winning this week’s challenge by lip syncing in the Lip Sync For The Win, and are advancing to the Grand Finale!”

Unieke: “Thank you, thank you so much”, she is very very thankful for the win. She is ready to give it her all now.

Tycene: “Mimi, you ate that too. But, unfortunately, you are going to the losers’ section of the Lip Sync Tournament, having a ⅓ chance of survival now. You both may take a seat”, she says and the two take a seat.

Tycene: “Our 3rd and final lip sync of the night… Gin En Tonique and Jigsaw! Come on up, please”, she says and the two of them walk up to the main stage.

Gin: “Darling, we’re talking about the finale. This is all or nothing, time to play cards”, she says.

Tycene: “Two queens stand before me. Tonight, you will lip sync to… DNA by Little Mix. This is your chance to impress me, win this round, advance to the Lip Sync For The Win, and automatically advance to the Grand Finale of Season 5. Good luck, and don’t mix it up”, she shouts.

DNA - Little Mix (Official Audio)YouTube

◦ Gin acts like a little child dancing to the music, and then turns to a rocker bad girl chic. She is giving energy and fire. Jigsaw is giving the judges more of a cute style, and the judges are loving it. The focus is more on Jigsaw. The cameraman does a perfect angle that is movie-worth to shoot. Gin is really serving face. Jigsaw is serving comedy now, and the judges are loving it. Gin is doing stunts all over and serving this lip-sync.

Tycene: “Queens, I’ve made my decision…

… Gin En Tonique, condragulations, bitch, you’re a winner baby! You are moving on to the Grand Finale and will be lip syncing for the win.”

Gin: “Thank you so much, judges, love you”, Gin is very gooped, and so are some others.

Mimi: “How did she win this”, she says under her voice.

Mimi: “I’m sorry, but Jigsaw was giving me the full fantasy. How did she lose, I’m confused”, she is speechless.

Tycene: “Unfortunately, Jigsaw, that means you are in risk of being eliminated, and will be competing in the Lip Sync For Your Life, with a ⅓ chance of survival. You may take a seat”, she says and Jigsaw leaves the stage and sits down. Gin stays there because now it is time for the Lip Sync For The Win.

Tycene: “Will the other two winners please step forward”, she demands. Pepsi and Unieke step forward.

Tycene: “Three finalists stand before me. This is your chance to impress me, earn 10,000$ and be declared the winner of this week’s challenge. The song shall be.. Black Magic”, she announces. Pepsi is very excited and Unieke acts like she is getting so ready to slay this.

Little Mix - Black Magic (Audio)YouTube

“Good luck, and don’t even try to fuck it up”, she says in a deep voice.

◦ The song starts, and since the three are very energetic lip-syncers and Gin can form herself into fitting in any lip-sync type, they both walk to the back and strut the runway. Unieke is looking very beautiful in her suit that we sure damn know has a reveal under it. Pepsi is very soft with it, going down on the ground and everything. Then at the chorus, things start to get sturdy. Pepsi and Gin both do different stunts, and Unieke does a pirouette into a jump. Unieke starts to act like a bad bitch. She really got the spin out of it.

Pepsi: “The three strongest lip syncers on a stage together? You already know it’s a show!”, she says.

◦ Then, at the chorus, Pepsi does the unexpected, she does a double reveal, with a bodysuit with the headline “She’s a FINALISTA”, which the judges are very pleased by. All 3 are then at the front of the stage, going down in a crotch at the breakdown. Then when the chorus comes for a last time, the three all take a split at the same time, letting the judges stay in disbelief. They are really amazed and the 3 on the side are all living.

Jigsaw: “I AM LIVING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE. WERK, BITCHES”, she shouts in her confessional.

◦ They all three then party on the stage, just to come together at the center of the stage, hugging each other and smiling. Everyone is cheering for a minimum of 15 seconds.

Tycene: “I knew there was a reason to make this a lip-syncing episode! Y’all were so good! And I have made my decision…

… Unieke, condragulations, you’re a winner baby! You are the winner of this week’s challenge, and will be receiving 10,000$, courtesy of Fandom”, she announces.

Unieke: “Thank you so much, love. This’ll bring me so much for the entire village I’m planning to feed”, she says and everyone laughs.

Tycene: “You may step to the back of the stage”, she says and Unieke does so. She is very thankful for that.

“Pepsi and Gin, you may have not won that, but you have earned yourself a spot in the Grand Finale of Season 5. You may join Unieke”, she says and they both do so and are happy, walking hand in hand to the back. Micro is anxious, because she is still on the chopping block.

Tycene: “Alright, Micronesiarain, Mimi Martini and Jigsaw… please step forward”, she says.

Micro: “I am really scared to go in there and lose, it isn’t really a question if I want to win this”, she says.

Tycene: “Three queens stand before me. In a moment, I’ll ask only one of you to shantay, and two of you… to sashay away. This is your last chance to impress me, save yourself from elimination, and earn the final spot in the Grand Finale of Season 5”, she announces.

Unieke: “I’m going to NEED Micro to win this. I’ve made a promise that we would both enter the finale, and boo, it’s happening”, she snaps.

Tycene: “The time has come.. for you to lip sync… for… your.. LIFE! Good luck, and don’t fuck it up. Hit it!”, she shouts.

Sweet Melody - Little Mix (Official Audio)YouTube

◦ Micro is giving the very I don’t give a shit vibe, and the judges are very pleased as they are laughing about it. Jigsaw is trying to give them a fun, energetic dance number, and Mimi is just standing there, waiting for her dance abilities to activate.

Micro: “I’m going to give it my all to stay in this competition. It is my priority, on period is that”, she snaps.

◦ Jigsaw drops to the ground at the breakdown. When the chorus is coming, Micro does a death drop and Mimi does a split. Everyone is shocked, it’s a great lip-sync and everybody is living.

Tycene: “Wow. None of you bitches are making this easy. Anyway, I have made my hard decision…

… Micronesiarain, shantay you stay”, she announces. Micro drops to the ground and Jigsaw and Mimi clap for her as she deserves it.

Micro: “Thank you so so much, I would hug you, but then security would tackle my ass, thank you”, she takes a deep breath.

Tycene: “Condragulations, you are moving on to the grand finale of Season 5. You may join the other girls”, she says. Micro joins the others, crying and hugging Unieke.

◦ Mimi sighs and smiles at Jigsaw. Jigsaw smiles back and giggles a little.

Tycene: “I can’t believe I have to do this”, she sighs.

Beninne: “Let me do it”, she says. Tycene looks at her in disbelief.

Courlene: “Can you shut up for once”, she says and the queens laugh.

Tycene: “Mimi Martini and Jigsaw, two queens that we adore. But unfortunately, this is not your time. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this season unforgettable, both of you. Now, sashay away”, she smiles.

Mimi: “I want to thank you for the time I had here. It was unforgettable for me. Now, I guess I’ll join Madam and Duising on the way back to the NYC. But this another joke, is it”, she says and everyone laughs. She walks to the back. She hugs everyone and then leaves saying:

“The Big Girl from the Big Apple with Big Dreams, and they are only getting Bigger!”, she leaves waving and everyone cheering.

◦ Mimi enters the werkroom.

Mimi: “I’m not mad about going home. It wasn’t up to me, I wish I were up there for a longer time. But, everything has to end at once, I guess. Going back to NYC and I just know, All Stars will be made for me. Bye!”, she blows a kiss to the camera.

◦ We are back on the Main Stage.

Jigsaw: “Well, I guess I better get going then”, she says and everyone laughs. She blows kisses to everyone, and leaves saying:

“Bye Flops!”, she shouts and everyone laughs and claps.

Jigsaw: “Leaving before the finale is a real ass bummer. I wish I had survived more here, but I guess things aren’t there for me to survive them fully. I had a great time, didn’t win a challenge but I’ll be back on your screen soon, don’t worry”, she shimmies and then blows a kiss. “J’aime vous!”, she says. We are on the Main Stage.

Tycene: “Well, bitches, we have our Final 4! Now, reader, I want to hear from you are you…

#TeamGin?

#TeamMicro?

#TeamPepsi?

or are you #TeamUnieke?

… let us know in the comments and the poll. Tune in next time to see all, well, most of them, return to your at the reunion of Season 5! And then tune in after that one more time, to see all of these 4 perform their padded asses off in the Grand Finale of Season 5!”, they all scream as they are excited.

“Now remember, if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else? Can I get an amen up in here”, she demands.

All: “Amen”, they shout.

Tycene: “Music”, she claps twice.

◦ The Final 4 are dancing on the stage, and they are all doing a choreo they’ve apparently practiced before. They are all holding a vote.gov sign and Tycene and the judges are impressed. They all leave the main stage, doing a photo finish pose. Episode 10 ends.

GUEST: Sequins Sugarsweet, season 1 contestant @Dusty ray awesome

After Tycene’s elimination, the contestants came back to the workroom. Eyeona who won the lip-sync was not happy, not sad about it. They came through the door with Lee, who was supporting them.

Eyeona (CF): “I feel guilty about sending Tycene home. I know they wanted to showcase their talent and their drag. But at the same time, I want to do exact same. I feel torn and lost. When I got the call for the show, I never once thought that I would have to send someone home.” Eyeona looked down at the floor.

“I’m glad that Eyeona stayed as I think we’ve become great friends,” said Lee and smiled. Eyeona’s face relaxed and they became more positive.

“This week was amazing,” said Perry, “we all created masterpieces.” Perry vogued in their outfits.

“I won’t lie, I really wanted to win the challenge,” said Aespa, “but truthfully, no one could win against what Lee made. This is really stunning.” Everybody agreed. Lee blushed and thanked them.

“Well, mine was not as impressive and without me, Intra would definitely be on the top,” Anne expressed their feelings and looked at Intra. Perry agreed and pointed out some corrections to Anne’s outfit.

“Oh no,” said Anne, “it’s fine. I know my outfit was not good.” They laughed. Intra stood quietly.

Intra (CF): “Maybe I should’ve helped Anne a bit more with the outfit, so we could be on the top. Right?”

The next day the contestants returned to the workroom well rested and ready for another challenge. Contessa walked in full mode and confident. When they were in the middle of the workroom, they did a sexy pose.

Contessa (CF): “Being on the top three weeks in a row really pumped my ego. Especially after the first week lip-sync against Kenya. And here we are … being a front runner and all.”

Eyeona shuddered when they came close to the mirror. They saw Tycene’s mirror message.

"TYCENE. Wipe me away, I’ll still be here. Love you all <3", Anne read the message, before Eyeona cleaned it. Lee mentioned that it was great working with Tycene during the acting challenge and they wish their team would not go home any time sooner. They also consoled Eyeona.

❃ “Rise up primula, rise, this is the beginning!” ❃

The contestants jumped and gathered around the stair, from where Blae came down.

Blae: Drag artists, it’s so glad to see you all cheered up. We are at the point of the competition where we can see who started playing the game from the start and who is still waiting to play.

Eyeona gulped and looked on each side, while Intra glanced at Anne.

Blae: For this week’s challenge you will participate in a musical called Drag Sisters. In the musical, you will lip-sync the pre-flight safety video. You will have to stand out, move to the choreography and most importantly … lip-sync to the narration and lyrics.

Perry was already smiling. They looked at Teddy, who was holding their teddy. But they were not as shy as before.

Blae: You will work in three teams. Each team will have their own narration, so you have to work well as a team and help each other. Like I said. There will be three teams, two with three artists and one with four because Anne & Intra are competing together. Please, choose the teams yourself!

Perry grabbed Teddy immediately and Teddy had no other options but to join them. Aespa was standing beside Perry and when Perry saw them, they picked them too. “We’re a team,” they said.

Contessa looked around; they knew they would not be picked because everybody got along already. Anne asked them if they want to join them and Intra. Contessa nodded, even though they would prefer to join another team.

Kenya and Lee were already close and they knew they would do well. The Kahlo came to them and looked at them very seriously. They stood by them and they assumed they joined their team.

Eyeona hurried to join Lee’s team, but because they were on the other side, they were left out. Kenya and Lee quickly asked Eyeona to join, but Blea was even quicker.

Blae: Eyeona, you may join Contessa, Anne and Intra. Okay, the teams are selected. Now, you will get your scripts and get ready! Three, two, one, go!!”

Lee made a sad face toward Eyeona. The teams picked the script and placed themselves each on their own station.

All three teams were more or less ready with their parts and the script. All they had to do is to practice. The teams came on the stage, each team was on each part of the stage. Genie greeted them when they were settled.

The contestants screamed when they saw Sequins Sugarsweet come to the stage.

Sequins: “Hey, season 2! I’m so happy to be back and help you with the challenge. I know how important the choreography is, even if it is only walking or moving on the stage. You have to look your best, show that you are present and look good doing it as well.

Genie: “We invited Sequins to help us with this challenge and as you know two heads can help more than one.

Perry (CF): “We finally got to work with Genie, who is a legend! Their performances are always such a top-notch!”

The first team that went on the stage was Team Lee, Kenya and The Kahlo. Genie guided them and everything went smoothly.

Genie: “Amazing. The Kahlo, when you lip-sync connects with the audience as well. Well done.

Contessa (CF): “Truthfully … I thought that after the previous challenge, we would see The Kahlo go down, but … they are unpredictable. We should keep an eye on them. And Lee and Kenya doing great too do not help my team.”

“Maybe instead of just passing by, we could interact with each other,” suggested Kenya, when they did a routine. Genie nodded and told them it is a great idea.

Perry looked a bit nervous. They looked at Aespa and Teddy wondering if their team would even do well. Luckily, they weren’t the next team in line. Team Contessa, Anne & Intra and Eyeona got called on stage.

Sequins: Keep the charisma, don’t let this bring you down, Anne But you need to control your legs. Let’s go. One, two, one, two, three … watch out”

Intra and Anne both collapsed. They went from the start. But they had so many troubles performing.

Sequins: “It’s okay, artists. You can’t be perfect on the first try. Right, Genie?” Sequins smiled at Genie.

Their time was almost finished and they had to leave the stage. Eyeona sat by Lee and sighed. They tried to calm them.

The last team was team Aespa, Perry and Teddy. Teddy was asked to leave their teddy on the chair. They got confused, but eventually, they agreed.

Aespa started with the choreography and Genie was very impressed. They moved really smoothly. They were joined by Perry and Teddy. Everybody’s jaw dropped when they saw Teddy perform. Their character was totally theirs with a touch of cheerleader.

Perry (CF): “Let them see the winner.”

Genie: You’re doing amazingly. Teddy, where was this Teddy all season?

Teddy became shy. They had great fun on the stage afterwards. They incorporated cheerleading and stewardess pre-flight movements.

Sequins: “You remind me of me on season 1. I was very shy and wanted to impress the judges, but I just lacked the confidence. But I knew I had to give everything in a challenge that expects from us what my drag is all about. I’m very proud of you!”

After the last team was done, all teams stood on the stage for the last words by Genie.

Genie: “You were wonderful today. Some surprised me today. but some of you have lots of work to do.”

Contessa (CF): “Getting this negative feedback from Genie got me worried. This is not my time to be at the bottom. No, just no.”

❃ “Rise up primula, rise, this is the beginning!” ❃

Blae: Welcome to the stage.

Blae: Let’s welcome on the stage our judges: La Jinn. Shera Sloth, Genie and Xena Morph. And this time our special guest judge and mentor … Sequins Sugarsweet. Hello, my dear. Great to see you back. What have you been up to?

Sequins: Oh, so many amazing things. From touring all around the world, I also started getting roles in an off-Broadway with the help of Prosper Rose and Eda Bagadix. This show has given me so many opportunities and opened so many doors.

Blae: It’s so great to hear the success of our prodigies. Now, this week, the artists were performing in a musical called Drag Sisters, inspired by Sestre and flight attendants. Let’s start.

The lights dimmed, and the music started. The teams performed one by one. After that, they shoed their runway looks. The runway theme was: Heavenly Bodies.

The contestants came on the stage and stood in a row.

Blae: Welcome to the stage, angels. You’ve done a great job this week. Very proud of you. Now, this week every team will be critiqued. Let’s hear what the judges have to say.

• TEAM AESPA KOUTURE, PERRY NOIA, TEDDY BARE

Sequins: Working with you was so … well I had very little to do with you. You were very initiative. Teddy, you were amazing. We said it before, you’re an amazing performer, the moves were great, and you knew all the lines.

Genie: Aespa, you are making your Haus proud. You were in sync with the words, your dancing was really good. Perry, you had the best energy on the stage tonight, the connection with the audience was so inviting and dancing is in your blood. You understood the assignment.

La Jinn: “Performance was stunning. Teddy you are giving everything on the runway each week. This is another great outfit. Aespa and Perry, your runway could be a bit more sacred, but both of them are still well created and presented.

• TEAM ANNE & INTRA, COUNT CONTESSA, EYEONA LASHAWNA

Xena: Anne, this is the best runway we’ve seen you so far. Especially after what you made last week. And Eyeona, your runway look is inspired by your culture and your interpretation of heaven and we live for it. Contessa, your runway is amazing, we miss a bit of heaven in it. But Intra … we are kind of disappointed by this piece.

Genie: “We got a feeling that you and Anne always do the opposite. One does well and the other one does not. And this week can be seen on the runway.

Sequins: “All of you had some trouble with the performance. With the movements on the stage, to be exact. Anne, you also missed lines. Contessa, you tried to do good but did not succeed, but the positive thing is that you kept the show going and it could not be seen on your face. I admire that. You hide the emotions very well.

Blae: I agree with Sequins. I think Eyeona did a great job with lip-syncing, showing great expressions and funny movements. But the choreography was not a trait of any of you.

• TEAM LEE MOAN, KENYA C. FIERCE, THE KAHLO

Sequins: This was another great performance. You did really well in the rehearsal and on the stage tonight. Kenya, you brightened the stage with your persona. The lip sync was amazing, you had a great time. Lee, your movement was good, and you were in sync with the narration.

Shera: “The Kahlo was impressive as well. You were very serious, I don’t know if that is because you three wanted to shine and show each persona differently. But your performance was really good. Your moves were amazing.

La Jinn: “Each one of your runways was really impressive. Kenya, like Eyeona, you used your interpretation of heaven and it is stunning. Lee, you went for a bit basic idea, but the presentation is still very good. I’m very impressed by The Kahlo’s runway. This is the first time we’ve seen you this good. I hope we see you this great next week as well.

Blae: Artists, thank you. I think we’ve heard enough.

Blae: You may leave the stage, while the judges deliberate about your placements.

The contestants picked their cocktails and sat on the sofa in the untucked lounge. Kenya and Lee were having a runway walk moment when they entered. Both of them were really tall. Kenya showed their amazingly long legs, while Lee showed their high fashion poses.

They talked about how impressive Teddy was. Lee made a comment that they really stood out this week, and that will probably win the challenge. Teddy became shy.

“I overheard a conversation last week about Teddy being a cheerleader in high school,” said Perry, “and I knew this challenge would work perfectly for them. So, I snatched them before everybody else.”

“Oh,” was confused Teddy, “that’s right. I was a cheerleader, so I know some moves.” They giggled.

Perry (CF): “I don’t know if that is intentional or not. But it is sneaky. No one would expect Teddy to do well, and now boom, they are doing well. I think they are hiding something.”

“How are you feeling, Eyeona,” asked Lee worrying about her friend.

“I’ve been in the bottom last week,” said Eyeona looking at Lee with their big eyelashes. They started to cry. “And …. I don’t want to go home yet. But at the same time, I don’t want to send home anyone else.”

Lee hugged Eyeona. “No, no. you won’t go anywhere.”

“If I am in the bottom again this week, it would be so unfair to anyone else, since I have been doing the worst.” Eyeona cried even more.

“You’re making me cry,” said Kenya holding their tears, “don’t think like this. If you land at the bottom, and you win, you will win because you deserved it. And the emphasis is on IF! Because you clearly were not the worst in your team.” Contessa looked at Kenya.

Contessa (CF): “Does she has something against me? Me? She’s basically a child, an amateur compared to me.”

“Kenya is right, Eyeona,” said Lee, “if you stay, you deserve it. And you will stay. The judges saw you put effort into your performance.”

Teddy sat by Eyeona and gave them their teddy. Perry could not hold their laugh and almost growled. Everybody looked at them.

“Oh c’mon,” joked Perry, “it’s the fourth week. Don’t tell me you feel sentimental about this. It’s not like someone died.”

“You don’t have to be so insensitive,” said Lee. “Everybody has their own way of thinking and experiencing.”

Eyeona still cried, Teddy closed their ears with their hand, so they didn’t have to listen. The silence was big when Lee spoke to Perry. But Kenya broke the silence.

“What about you three,” asked Kenya, “Intra, Anne, what are your opinions about the critiques.”

“Not really good,” Anne answered and looked at Intra, “we know we are not the best lip-sync queens and this challenge was not meant for us.”

“I’ll just be fair,” said Contessa, “out team sucked and if they put me in the bottom, I’ll do my best to win it.”

Contessa (CF): “My first lip-sync was awful. I fell. But if I land at the bottom this time … I’ll do anything to stay.”

Contestants were called back on the stage.

Everybody returned back on the stage and took a position close to their teams. Anne and Intra took their hands. Lee looked at Eyeona and nodded.

Blae: Welcome back on the stage. This was another wonderful week for you. We are impressed by this progress and we wish you would succeed like this in future challenges.

We’ve made some decisions.

Blae: Team Lee, Kenya and The Kahlo.

Each one of you stood out and brought their own uniqueness.

Blae: Team Aespa, Perry and Teddy.

Your performance was amazing and all of you broke our expectations.

Blae: Team Aespa, Perry and Teddy. You are the winning team.

But there is only one, who really made the impact.

That one is …

Blae: The whole team!

Congratulation. All three of you are the winners of this week's challenge! Each one of you also gained a prize of $5,000!

Aespa was shocked. Teddy could not believe what they had just heard. Perry on the other hand was jumping with happiness.

“Are you sure?” asked Aespa.

Blae: Yes, of course. All three of you are the winners. Congrats again. You may leave the stage.

Each one of them thanked the judges; Teddy said it quietly and smiles at the judges and run childlike to the back of the stage.

Blae: Team Lee, Kenya and The Kahlo, you’re safe (HIGH). You may join the winning team.

“Thank you,” said Lee. Kenya nodded at the judges. All of them left the stage. Lee looked at Eyeona, who nervously waited for Blae to speak again.

Blae: Team Anna & Intra, Count Contessa and Eyeona Lashawna, you are … sadly … the losing team.

“Just don’t let put everyone in the bottom like two weeks ago,” joked Anne, trying to defuse the tension.

Blae: “Don’t worry. We won’t put everybody at the bottom.

Eyeona. You stood out in the team and you did what you could do best.

Blae: You are safe. You may leave the stage.

Eyeona took a deep breath, thanked the judges and joined Lee.

Anne and Intra went on the right part of the stage, Contessa went on the left part of the stage. Blae looked at the judges and nodded.

Blae: We thought about this and we will give one of you an option.

Contestants in the back got confused.

“Three hundred hair bears. What is going on?” whispered Kenya.

Blae: “Because one of you was a little better than the other two. We will give you an option. If I call your name, please step forward.

Intra Net. This is up to you. You can stay here and lip-sync with Anne. But that would mean that if you lose the lip-sync, both of you must sashay away. And if you win the lip-sync, both of you will stay. But if you choose not to stay here… you are safe and Anne will lip-sync alone.

Intra’s eyes popped out. They did not know what to do. Even Contessa did not expect this from the judges. They were quiet for a few seconds.

“I,” Intra said to the judges, “I want to stay.”

“What?” Anne was shocked by Intra’s decision.

Blae: Intra Net. You are safe (LOW). You may leave the stage. Remember, now you are on your own.

Intra nodded and left the stage. They didn’t even look at Anne.

Blae: That means … Anne Droid and Count Contessa. You are up for elimination.

Please take your spot on the stage.

Anne and Contessa stayed on the part of the stage as before. Contessa looked at Anne to see if they are okay.

Blae: Two artists stand before me.

You were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance to “Sentimentai” by Monika Liu

Monika LIU - Sentimentai (Official Audio) Eurovision 2022YouTube

This is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.

Ladies, the time has come for you to lip-sync for your LIFE!

Good luck and don't fuck it up!

Contessa (CF): "I don’t think anyone ever felt so betrayed in their entire life like Anne is right now. Intra tore this team apart so quickly. Just for the sake of staying here. But I don't care. I'm here to win.”

Contessa started slow and seductively lip-syncing to the song. Anne did their thing, by being goofy and campy. Contessa slowly took off their gloves Dita Von Teese style. And the judges were feeling the heat. Anne was doing their best caricaturing a heartbeat. Contessa walked down the stage and crouched on the floor and took a rose from under the dress. They started to move with their shoulders and swing around with the rose.

Kenya (CF): “Hate to say it, but … Contessa has some thorns hidden in their sleeves. Literally.

The song stopped.

Contessa was confident about their performance, while Anne felt devastated.

Blae: Artists, I made my decision.

Blae: Count Contessa …

This was sentimental!

Shantay you stay!

Contessa thanked the judges. Before they left the stage, they hugged Anne.

“I’m sorry,” they said.

Blae: Anne Droid.

This is a very painful way to say goodbye. We took the responsibility for planting the seed. You are an amazing queen, and you are worthy of your respect.

Now sashay away.

Anne covered their face with their hands. Xena wanted to join them on the stage, but Anne said it was fine. They thanked the judges for the opportunity.

“Thank you for the opportunity for me … and another for my sister,” said Anne and looked back at Intra, who was standing still.

The contestants hugged Anne. Anne had not said anything else to Intra.

“Anne Droid is shutting down,” was the last thing they said before leaving the stage.

Drag artists, this is just the beginning.

And remember: A friend is known in adversity like gold is known in the fire!

previously on RUNWAY RUSH! Six contestants remain in the ‘fast-fashion’ format of Runway Rivalry, and were challenged by Bellaron to put on a group performance of their own original remix to “Freakum Dress” and present their Freakum Freakum runways. After critiques, Iris Kouture claimed the royal-blue chair and won the episode, whereas Gin En Toniqué and Nikky Fox fought in a face-off lip-sync to “Freakum Dress” by Beyoncé, which ended in Nikky Fox leaving the competition.

5 remain in the fight for the Runway Rivalry Plaque, a Crown and a cash prize of $50,000. But who will take it all the way?

The studio is lit with dull white floodlights pouring all over the floor, the contestants enter the Studio, with drinks awaiting them.

AFTER Nikky Fox’s ELIMINATION…

“Whew!” Gin sighs as she flops into a chair, “I cannot believe I just sent another girl home. But thank fuck! You ain’t getting rid of me yet!”

“Girl, how are you feeling? You sent home both the returning contestants!” Iris questions.

Gin laughs awkwardly, “I mean I feel good! I’m glad to still be here and I mean, now that we’ve been here for three weeks it doesn’t feel like bad that I’ve sent her home. It’s the name of the game, and I have to make it to the finale. Simple.”

GIN (C.F): I’m clearly the lip-sync assassin of the season… I mean two girls sent home by me? These girls should be concerned that I could whoop their asses!

“Iris girl, congratulations!” Monica cheers on, “You stole the show! How does it feel to have a win?”

“I feel super good! I mean I feel a bit more secure of my spot in the competition now. But like there seems to be a curse of bottom-win-bottom, so I need to break that!” Iris laughs.

“Yep, we totally want you to break that curse… and go home.” Nic laughs to herself, whilst the other contestants watch on and don’t find it funny.

MONICA (C.F): In all honestly I’d love to see Nic go home. I’m so sick of her attitude. She’s been a bitch since the day she walked in. I would’ve thought being that close to the bottom would’ve switched something up for her but no.

“So Lyric, you now have the best track record? How does that feel?” Monica continues to instigate the conversation.

“Oh yeah, I do!” Lyric giggles, “See like the thing is. I don’t feel like I’ve… done,” beginning to croak up and get upset, “done well.” She wipes a tear from her eye.

“Let it out. No use holding back your emotions!” Gin comes over to hug her.

“I just,” Lyric begins to whimper, “I’ve been trying to prove myself for the last three weeks and it just seems like I’m being overlooked. I know I’ve been in the top the entire time, but I haven’t broken through to the win.”

LYRIC (C.F): I know I sound kinda bratty right now, but it’s not like I’m being jealous or anything. I just, I’m so so passionate about my drag, and this competition means so much to me, I have a lot to prove to myself and to Bellaron.

“I just,” Lyric sobs, “I want this so bad. And I know you all do too.” Lyric lets out a sigh and wipes her tears, “Okay, let’s get out of this shit before I cry more!” She laughs.

“Yes please.” Nic rolls her eyes and quickly paces away from the group.

“That bitch has got to go.” Monica whispers to the group as Nic becomes a distance away from hearing.

IRIS (C.F): It’s the top five now, and there’s only one more challenge till the finale, so the tension is on, three of us have one win, but then there’s Lyric with her perfect track record and Nic and Monica haven’t been up for elimination once, so it’s definitely on.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

Lights flash on. The studio is lit with neon pinks and purples and white floodlights pour all over the floor.

BELLARON: Welcome back to the Runway Rush! We are down to 5 contestants, it’s a new week which means new challenges and runways! But only 4 will continue to next week’s finale, let’s find out who is going.

The remaining 5 contestants enter the Studio, ready for whatever faces them as they enter for another challenge and runway.

🚨 IT’S BELLARON BITCH 🚨

The five contestants parade over to the monitor that rests inside one of the studio walls, waiting for Bellaron to appear on screen.

BELLARON: Are you ready for a rush? Are you ready to be on the ball? You need to walk that walk if you want to make it to the finale, not once, but twice. Now, bring it, or bitches beware, you’ll be talking that talk!

Bellaron fades away from the screen, leaving the contestants to question the message they’ve just received. They talk amongst themselves…

“HEY QUEERS!” Bellaron screams, “Get over here!”. The contestants parade their way over to stand in a line in front of Bellaron.

“Well done on making it to the fourth week of Runway Rush! Now, congratulations are in order! Iris, well done on snatching the win last episode! Congratulations to Gin for turning out that lip-sync! You rocked out that bitch!”

“Now, you’re probably wondering just what exactly it is that you’ll be doing this week, well here you go…”

For your challenge, you must design two looks for what we are calling… the Rush Ball! Emphasis on rush, as you will only have 45 minutes to put together one look. You’ll make one look at a time and hit the runway the second the time is up. After presenting your look, you will receive critiques and then run back stage to complete the second and final look. This might seem like a challenge, and that’s why we’ve made it a bit easier for you! The categories are:

· Body-ody-ody-suit! You must make a sickening bodysuit that you can rock down the runway!

· You’re GOWNing! You must make a sickening gown fit for royalty!

Now, as usual we will be saying goodbye to one of you, and this is the final challenge before the finale. The competition is getting fierce, so you better step it up or get ready to step out that door! So work hard to slay hard. And you might just win! Good luck!” Bellaron leaves the studio.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

The fourty-five minute countdown begins and the contestants rush to grab any materials around the Studio, including fabrics, rhinestones and scraps left over from the Gothic design challenge.

Iris is panicking at the thought of another sewing-related challenge after her bottom performance last time round, but she is getting help from Monica and seems to be putting a good look together. Iris at the last minute scraps the look which causes an argument between her and Monica who’s spent the last 10 minutes helping her put the look together, and so she stops helping. Gin is sewing away until a grinding noise from her sewing machine and it stops.

GIN (C.F): My needle snaps mid sewing and now I’m panicking! I need to hold this together and not let it fall apart.

There’s 5 minutes on the clock, and the contestants are doing the finishing touches as Gin just about finishes the bodysuit. There is a mad rush and the time is ticking away. It’s time to hit the runway.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

Lights hit the stage, and at the centre of the entrance, spotlights flash into one spot, an upbeat mix of “House Of Love” by RuPaul echoes throughout the Main Stage as Bellaron struts the Runway Rivalry runway.

BELLARON: “Welcome to stage of BELLARON'S Runway Rush!”

“For this week’s challenge, we asked contestants to design a look in just 45 minutes, and then do it all again in the Rush Ball! Now, they will hit the runway and walk that walk as they present their Body-ody-ody-suit runways! To our contestants, bring it to the runway, walk that walk or talk that talk!”

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

“We are a mighty love, a mighty mighty love, uh, hey baby…” Mighty Love by RuPaul begins to play and the contestants are about to walk that walk.

BELLARON: “Category is… Body-ody-ody-suit! First up… Gin En Toniqué!”

GIN (C.F): I’m so glad that I got to finish this look! I feel like a bad bitch in this sheer bodysuit with these massive feather pieces. I can’t believe that I threw this together in 45 minutes, but god I look cunt.

BELLARON: “Look her in the eye, you can’t tell her she isn’t couture, Iris Kouture!”

IRIS (C.F): Tonight I am giving you warrior, thought through the dinosaurs, but with a twist of a Shakespearean twist. I feel sexy but strong and powerful, showing up and out. I’m so gagged that this is something I’ve created, and I’m so proud.

BELLARON: “And now for the chorus, it’s Lyric!”

LYRIC (C.F): Tonight I am inspired by Bellaron’s iconic Season 1 promo look and I’ve actually made an almost perfect replica of the look. I’m strutting the runway like I own the show and I feel so good!

BELLARON: “She brings it to you every ball… it’s Monica Mells!”

MONICA (C.F): Girl my puss is GLITTY and LITTY! I’m bedazzled in this tiny little sexy bodysuit and everything is showing off tonight! I’m giving a bit of burlesque, a bit of ball and all of this BODY darling!

BELLARON: “And finally… It’s Nic Coal!”

NIC (C.F): Tonight I’m going for a cute black glitter body suit with this too-long-to-measure wig. This is simple but sleek and sexy and I mean, I look hot. Hotter than the others so.

“We are a mighty love, a mighty mighty love, uh, hey baby.” Mighty Love by RuPaul fades out as the final contestant exits the stage. The contestants prepare to receive critiques.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

The contestants return to the stage, and stand in a line waiting to receive critiques from Bellaron.

Bellaron begins to speak, “Contestants! This was such a great runway, thank you so much! You walked that walk! Every week, an array of chairs are on the side of the stage, they represent a certain placement. You’ll all want to get the royal blue chair, but two of you will end up fighting for the tomato-red chair. Tonight, somebody will walk that walk for the last time, and leave the competition.”

“Tonight you will receive critiques for each look, but first we will be critiquing your Body-ody-ody-suit looks and then you will return to create your second look. Now, it’s time for critiques.”

“Gin En Toniqué!” Bellaron begins with their first set of critiques, “This is a beautifully fashionable look! Wow I am super super impressed! This massive feather piece is amazing, on the shoes? Not so much, it’s not really needed, I’d love to just see your exposed legs as you pound the runway. It’s super fashion forward and extremely well executed!”

“Thank you!”

“Bring it on this next look.” Bellaron smiles.

“Iris Kouture!” Bellaron begins with their next set of critiques, “So, I will say that this is a much better look than your last designed look!”

“Yay!” Iris cheers quietly.

“But that’s all I can say good about it.”

“Oh.”

“I mean it’s just, it’s a lot of different concepts that are jumping out at me, I see Shakespeare/Elizabethan in the neck, then there’s this spear thing, and then there’s the gloves, I’m just confused. It’s a good look but I just, yeah.”

Iris sighs, rubbing her hands together nervously.

“Lyric!” Bellaron begins with their next set of critiques, “Well thank you for paying tribute to me! This is one of my classic looks and you’ve made it really well! There’s precision to every detail, even the makeup! You know how to put together a look and I love this blue/orange fusion of it, I mean wow! Maybe I should’ve done it in this colour scheme! But well done!”

“Thank you Bella!” Lyric nods.

“Monica Mells!” Bellaron begins with their next set of critiques, “This is burlesque, this is sexy and this is different for you! That’s the first thing I have to point out, so well done on that! But I mean, how you did all this in that time, is amazing. You look gorgeous, I mean the beading, the shoes, the boa, it’s all perfect!”

“Thank you doll!”

“Nic Coal!” Bellaron begins with their next set of critiques, “Now, you look beautiful, but it’s a somewhat nude bodysuit with a few embellishments. You are gorgeous and it’s such a good look, let me emphasise that. But I just, I expected more and I need more, this is the final five and this is the last challenge before the finale!”

“Thanks.” Nic cuts off Bellaron and flicks a strand of hair out of her face, looking pissed while doing so.

“Contestants! I’ve decided to throw a little twist into this round! The best look of this runway will receive an extra 5 minutes to design their look!”

IRIS (C.F): See now that would’ve been super useful to know before hand Bella.

“Monica Mells! You have won the extra five minutes to design the look, and you better get backstage right now because the time starts… NOW!”

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

With fifty minutes on the clock, Monica is rushing into the Studio pulling off her look as fast as possible whilst gathering materials. She’s in a mad rush designing a look, but she is feeling confident in the idea she has for a gown.

Five minutes already pass by and the rest of the contestants are already in and designing. Nic Coal is blocking out the rest of the group as she listens to music whilst putting together a look.

Iris is evidently shaken after her critiques, but Gin is by her side comforting her and making sure she is okay. But no one has time to help each other anymore as everyone is panicking, trying to apply their minimal critiques to improve their final look.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

“We are a mighty love, a mighty mighty love, uh, hey baby…” Mighty Love by RuPaul begins to play and the contestants are about to walk that walk.

BELLARON: “Category is… You’re GOWNing! First up… Gin En Toniqué!”

GIN (C.F): Tonight I’m channeling a bit Marilyn Monroe gets abducted and turned into an alien! I feel super cutesy and I’m even wearing a few jewels, I mean diamonds are a girl’s best friend, are they not?

BELLARON: “Look her in the eye, you can’t tell her she isn’t couture, Iris Kouture!”

IRIS (C.F): I am DECKED out in the fine jewels tonight! I’ve superglued all these pieces on to this green gown, which I had half completed for my bodysuit runway, but scrapped, so all I needed to do was add the bottom half, this is one of the best looks I’ve put together, I’m just praying it stays together.

BELLARON: “And now for the chorus, it’s Lyric!”

LYRIC (C.F): I’m telling the story of what we’re doing to our world! On the surface things seem fine and beautiful, but deep down below the world is dying, pollution is killing the wildlife and the world is getting hotter everyday, and that’s not a good thing!

BELLARON: “She brings it to you every ball… it’s Monica Mells!”

MONICA (C.F): I’m on FIRE after those last critiques and I feel absolutely beautiful on this runway tonight! I’m lighting it up and I’m ready to finally take my crown and win something girl! It’s been overdue!

BELLARON: “And finally… It’s Nic Coal!”

NIC (C.F): I’m channelling Carrie tonight and it is MY SPECIAL DAY! I’m dripping in red tonight and I feel so beautiful and majestic. Let’s see if Bella calls this one basic. Stupid cunt.

“We are a mighty love, a mighty mighty love, uh, hey baby.” Mighty Love by RuPaul fades out as the final contestant exits the stage. The contestants prepare to receive critiques.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

The contestants return to the stage, and stand in a line waiting to receive critiques from Bellaron.

Bellaron begins to speak, “Now, it’s time for critiques.”

“Gin En Toniqué!” Bellaron begins with their first set of critiques, “I absolutely LOVE THIS! This is such an amazing take on Marilyn’s “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” look, and I’m completely obsessed with just how camp and goofy it is! I love this eye prosthesis and I love that you committed and painted yourself fully green! This is so well put together and I just, yes yes yes!”

“AHH! Thanks B!”

“Iris Kouture!” Bellaron begins with their next set of critiques, “I mean this is gorgeous, wow. All these pieces of jewellery at the top however? Unnecessary. Open up your upper chest with the shoulder pieces removed and just give us all the jewels on the dress and that’s enough! At this point, I have to nit-pick and it’s details like that which could improve your look so much more. Take one thing off before you walk out on to the runway. This is a brilliant look so well done for putting it together, but details are key!”

“Thank you Bella.” Iris sighs unenthusiastically.

“Lyric!” Bellaron begins with their next set of critiques, “Okay, so I see what you were going for with this look, but I have to say I do not like it. Similar to Iris I just feel like you have too much going on with the feather boa, the long hair, the shape of the gown, it’s all a bit much and I’m just not a fan of it. It’s a really important and strong concept so thank you for expressing this, but I’m not a fan of this gown, unfortunately.”

Lyric sighs, “I fully see the critiques, I’ll take them on!”

MONICA (C.F): This is the first time that Lyric has EVER had negative critiques in the competition, and now that’s two in a row of negatives, I’m praying that I will get praised.

“Monica Mells!” Bellaron begins with their next set of critiques, “I mean if any of the runways this season were going to be your runway, it would be this. You look gorgeous! I see a lot of pageantry in the look, but I see some fresher drag styles in this and it’s quite fashionable! It’s good to see you taking on critiques of stepping outside your box and bringing it. My only question is why the black hair and like such dark themed make-up? You should’ve been bright all over just to accentuate the gown. But that’s the only negative. Thank you Mo!”

“Thank you Bellaron!”

“Nic Coal!” Bellaron begins with their next set of critiques, “I mean, wow! I love this recreation of the iconic scene from Carrie and you look gorgeous, I love this slit in the gown that you get to show off your legs and prance, I love the attention to detail of the entire look and you look amazing! This is a stand out look and it’s what I wanted to see in the last runway. Thank you Nic.”

“Thank you! Glad you got it right this time!” Nic giggles.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

Bellaron sighs, “I have made my decisions. Now, let me remind you that Runway Rivalry is a pressure cooker. I do not go easy on anyone. I expect new and better things from each one of you each episode. You need to be levelling up every single time, otherwise you will find yourself fighting for the red chair.”

“This week, as it’s the semi-finals… we’ll be doing things a bit differently…!”

IRIS (C.F): I mean, you’ve got to be fucking kidding right?

“This may be Runway Rush, but what’s a Bellaron show without a little twist!” Bellaron cackles.

“Monica Mells, you shined like a diamond on the runway, and now you’re pussy is on FIRE…”

“Gin En Toniqué, you’ve abducted us, and we’re yellow for ya…”

“Congratulations! You two are the TOP TWO of this week’s episode!”

“NO WAY!” Monica exclaims as she raises her hands in the air and runs over to hug Gin, who has become a really close friend of hers.

Bellaron explains the situation, “This episode, we will have a top two… and a bottom three. That means, Iris Kouture, Lyric, Nic Coal. You are up for elimination.”

NIC (C.F): Oh, you have to got to be fucking kidding me. There is no reason for me to be in this position when I just had one of the most positive critiques of the night!

“Gin and Monica, as the top two contestants, you now have the power to decide… who out of tonight’s bottom three, should leave the competition and not continue to the finale. Please head backstage to select.”

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

Gin and Monica enter the Studio where they are confronted by a box with three CamillaCosmetic lipsticks, each in different shades, for each of the bottom contestants.

“Fuuuuuck!” Gin panics as she is choosing a lipstick.

GIN (C.F): This is so unexpected! I mean we’re choosing who goes home? This is CRAZY. I mean with have Nic who’s been a bitch all season long but we cannot deny that she’s done good. Then there’s Iris who’s now in the bottom for the second time, but they have a win… and that’s something Lyric, despite a strong performance, she just hasn’t got one. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Gin pulls a lipstick and hides it in her sleeve.

“Wow. This is… mad.” Monica sighs, but quickly chooses a lipstick.

MONICA (C.F): This is a competition, and so I could send home my biggest competition right now. That would probably be Nic. Nic has also been a cunt all season long, and it would serve her right to be humbled. I don’t know… should I send Nic home?

Monica pulls a lipstick and hides it in her sleeve.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

Gin and Monica return to the stage and assume the position.

Bellaron announces, “You two performed well in this week’s challenge. You walked that walk and now you have found yourselves in the Face Off. It’s time for you to talk that talk!”

Two red spotlights flash down on the top two contestants.

2 contestants stand before, this is your chance to impress me, and claim the power to choose… who will not move forward to the finale. You will lip-sync to “If U Seek Amy” by Britney Spears.

Let the lip-sync… COMMENCE!

“Oh baby baby have you seen Amy tonight? Is she in the bathroom, is she smoking up outside? Oh…”

Gin plays up the camp along with her look whilst Monica stays poised and seductive in her tight gown. She stumbles to the floor and begins to crawl.

“I just wanna go to the party she gon’ go. Can somebody take me home? Ha ha, he he, ha ha, ho…”

Monica continues to crawl and Gin continues to pull out some cringey yet funny dance moves from the past, including the mashed potato dance.

“Love me, hate me, say what you want about me, but all of the boys and all of girls are begging to if you seek Amy…”

Monica, somehow, now standing slips out of her gown and reveals into a bodysuit version of her gown and she drops into a dip. Gin seems to drop the camp shtick and is going all out with dance choreo.

MONICA (C.F): Iris is so captivating in this performance, she is absolutely owning this lip-sync. And she’s doing so so good!

“So tell me if you see her, ‘cause I’ve been waiting here forever …”

Gin knee slams into the ground and begins to feel her body from her head to her knees, and acts seductive, she crawls towards the edge of the stage and whips her hair around.

“Oh, baby, baby if you seek Amy tonight (oh!), oh baby, baby, we’ll do whatever you like…”

Monica is walking to the back of the stage whilst feeling her entire body and grows in excitement jokingly as she reaches the end of the stage, and just as the song moves on from “La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la…”

“Love me, hate me, say what you want about me, oh but can’t you see what I see? Oh say what you want about me…”

Monica runs and slides into the splits and rocks out whilst Gin continues to crawl and arch her back on the stage, stuck in her gown she spins onto her back and begins to touch her body and continues to move seductively.

“All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy.” The lip-sync ends, both contestants return to their spots in silence. They return to their spots, waiting for Bellaron’s decision.

“Contestants, you really gave it in that lip-sync!” Bellaron cheers, “But I have made my decision.” She sighs.

“Monica Mills…”

“Congratulations! You are the winner of this week’s episode! As the winner, you have received a $2,500 cash tip! Please remain on stage!”

Monica begins to tear up and thanks Bellaron whilst hugging Gin.

“Gin, you are (top 2) safe, and you may take your seat!” Bellaron cheers.

GIN (C.F): I may have not snatched a second win, but girl… I AM IN THE FINALE! YOU HEAR ME! I AM IN THE FINALE OH MY GOD!!!!

“Can the bottom contestants, please come on stage.” Bellaron sighs, which initiates Iris Kouture, Lyric and Nic Coal to join Monica on stage.

“Monica Mells, by winning tonight’s lip-sync, you have gained the power to choose whose time, has ran its course in the competition. With great power comes great responsibility, please reveal… who you have chosen.”

Monica sighs, “This was a difficult decision, because these three queens are talented, brilliant drag artists, but I have chosen…

“Iris Kouture. I am so sorry.” Monica sighs heavily as she sees Iris’ heart break in her eyes, she instantly runs over to hug her.

Iris composes herself and Monica returns to her position.

“Iris Kouture, you served all season long, but it seems now it’s your head on the platter.” Bellaron sighs, “And now, it’s with sorrow, I must ask that you leave the competition. Now walk that walk… one last time!”

Iris wipes the tears out of her face and thanks Bellaron and wishes good luck to the contestants before exiting the stage saying, “Ew.”

Everyone laughs and applauds her upon her exit.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

Iris Kouture enters the Studio, ready to leave their message and pack up their belongings.

Speaking to a camera, Iris says: “I think I knew that it was my time, as soon as Bella said it was a ball I think I accepted my fate, ahaha! I’m so glad for my time here, I made it to the final five! That’s something not a lot of people can say and I’m just so proud to have been here and shown all I did!”

Iris Kouture leaves with their belongings.

\ ---------------------------------- \ RUNWAY RIVALRY / ---------------------------------- /

Bellaron cheers, “And then there were four! Congratulations! You are the final four of Runway Rush!”

Bellaron turns to face the camera and cheers, “We’ve reached the finale once again, and we have our final four! Who are you rooting for? Are you…”

#TeamGin?

#TeamLyric?

#TeamMonica?

#TeamNic?

“Let your voice be heard! And join us next week as we crown a WINNER!”

“Now to my final four, rest up, you might have survived today, but you only live to die another day... now, walk that walk!"

The contestants leave the main stage as the lip-sync song plays one more time. Bellaron goes centre-stage and poses as the lights shut off except for a bright light shining behind her. Episode 4 ends.

Contestants: @Lace2000 @Theorangepeel @Splendid4523 @TiwaGrande @SamualRPDR @Jermiyas @XxxCHARxxX @HamburgerNik

◦ The queens return to the werkroom. No elimination has happened.

Gin: “Oh, I don’t wanna go through that again”, she says with a little anxious laughter.

Mimi: “Me neither”, she says and gives Gin a high five

.

Pepsi: “We just saw the most shocking elimination go down… none. But I did win a challenge so hey”, they are turnt up in their confessional room.

◦ The queens sit down to talk a little.

Mimi: “Well, we almost saw me going home”, she laughs and jokes.

Jigsaw: “Lucky that I wasn’t in there”, she laughs, but no one laughs with her.

Jigsaw: “I think that the queens think I should have been up for elimination. I think I shouldn’t have been, I had a better look than all two of them combined, and that’s on period”, she pretty much doesn’t care about what the queens have to say, she’s still here and that’s what counts for her.

Gin: “This is I think the perfect time to congratulate our 3 winners, 3”, she says and they congratulate them.

Unieke: “Thank you guys”, they really appreciate it.

Pepsi: “I am very happy to have won my second challenge. It is time for me to get out of my comfort zone and slay the next challenge, period”, they say.

Micro: “Well, bitches, I would lie if I was pleased by the fact that you guys are still here”, she says.

Pepsi: “Well, I like that everyone is still here. They couldn’t get rid of us 6 that easily”, they say.

Gin: “Come on y’all, bring it in”, she says and they do a group hug. Everything went well, until… the sirens start to wail. They separate from the group hug and are shocked.

Micro: “The fuck is happening!? This is not good, I just survived the week and now it’s a mail? Oh chile…”, she sighs and almost chokes on her water.

◦ Tycene speaks loud from the speakers.

Tycene (Speakers): “Queens! I’ve finally repaired the speakers for a special announcement. You may be 6 now, but we need to form you to make enough fit on only one stage”, she says.

Mimi: “I guess that’s it for me”, she makes a fat joke and everyone laughs.

Tycene (Speakers): “Please, head back to the Main Stage to find out what is awaiting you”, she says.

Micro: “Last one there is a flop”, she runs to the exit and so do Jigsaw and Unieke.

Mimi: “Nah, I can’t afford to run for this”, she says and walks calmly.

Pepsi: “Bye, flop”, she smiles at the camera.

Gin: “Where’s the exit”, she acts confused and then leaves to the Main Stage like the others.

◦ The queens return to the Main Stage. They see Beninne, Courlene and Tycene.

Beninne: “Hey girls! Shocked to see us all at one place for once”, she says.

Courlene: “That was my line”, she says.

Beninne: “Cry about it”, she answers.

Courlene: “Mom”, she shouts.

Tycene: “Beninne, behave yourself, they’re here”, she says and they’re all in one line.

Tycene: “Welcome, queens! You are 6 left in the competition right now… but that’s about to change”, she looks at them.

Beninne: “Welcome to the 10th challenge of the season… and this ain’t no regular challenge, boo”, she looks at them in a shady way.

Courlene: “This will be a challenge to test… your lip-syncing abilities”, she says. Some of the queens are excited, some just want to bury themselves now.

Tycene: “For this week’s maxi challenge, and also… the challenge that will determine who will be moving on to the grand finale…”, some of the queens think they’ve misheard Tycene.

Micro: “Finale? Lip-Sync? Chile, let me put these on, cause this is about to get sturdy, boo”, she acts like she’s ready to drive a cabrio.

Tycene: “You will be competing in a Lip Sync Smackdown Tournament that we call…

… A Little Mix of Lip Syncs Tournament”, she says and they are excited and oohing. Mimi still can’t believe that they’re doing a lip-sync tournament.

Tycene: “Why do we call it that way, Courlene”, she asks.

Beninne: “I thought I was gonna get to say that”, she is confused.

Courlene: “Cry about it”, she says and the queens laugh. “Anyway, we call it that way because we’re only using songs from our favorite hiatus girl group…

… Little Mix!”, she says and Tycene holds up that picture of them.

Pepsi: “Werk, bitch”, they are excited.

Unieke: “Little Mix songs are such a bop. I can not wait to smoke this so good”, she is excited.

Tycene: “Here’s how it works…”, she explains with a little help from the two.

Beninne: “In the first round, you will each be receiving a lip-sync opponent. You will then Lip Sync For Your life against that opponent”, she says.

Courlene: “The 3 who win their individual lip-sync will automatically be in the finale. BUT, to give you an extra, the 3 will be lip syncing one more time, a Lip Sync For The Win though, to declare a winner for this week’s challenge”, the queens are all oohing and are excited.

Tycene: “However, the losers of the 3 lip-syncs will Lip Sync For Their Life. The ONLY winner will advance to the Grand Finale. While the other two…

will be asked to sashay away”, they are all shocked now.

Courlene: “Dun, dun dun”, she says.

Beninne: “Why y’all gagging so? She bring it to you every lip-sync”, the three of them all snap at the same time.

Tycene: “Now with the small printed words declared, let the Lip Sync Tournament… begin”, she shouts.

Beninne: “Now, Micronesiarain, Pepsi Max and Unieke, you won the latest challenge as I heard, condragulations”, she says and they say thank you with their faces.

Courlene: “First time you’ll listen to anything”, she says.

Beninne: “Whatcha say”, she claps right back.

Courlene: “Nothing”, she looks up to the ceiling, avoiding eye contact with Beninne who is staring at her. The queens laugh.

Beninne: “As said, you won the challenge, so you get to choose your opponents. You will be choosing them in chronological order. Starting with Micronesiarain”, she says. Micro steps forward.

Micro: “I don’t want to choose anyone wrong, it’ll affect my run hardly. I think that choosing Gin would be a stupid idea, because she’s a fucking assassinator when it comes to lip-syncing, shots fired and spilled. Jigsaw, well we haven’t seen her lip-sync yet, she could be the hidden dancer of the season. And then there’s Mimi, who we saw almost go last week, but I could never take it from her that she could beat me. I don’t know, don’t want to make a wrong decision…”, she says and walks around.

Micro: “I choose Pepsi Max”, she says and makes everyone make the gag and gasp of the century.

Beninne: “What”, Beninne is very confused. “Mother-”, she gets interrupted by Courlene.

Courlene: “Mother, is that allowed”, she asks and annoys Beninne.

Tycene: “Hm, I don’t care. Do it. Approved”, she claps twice.

Pepsi: “I wish I could’ve chosen myself who to choose, but I guess being chosen should be seen as an honor”, she thinks.

Courlene: “Well, Pepsi was already chosen, so, Unieke, your turn. Who will you pick?”, she asks.

Unieke: “Let’s see…”, she thinks.

Unieke: “I don’t think I need to think about this too long. I do want that 4th challenge win, but if I’m planning to get it, I want to get it by fighting against someone amazing, not against the weakest of the pack, that’s a pussy move right there.”, she snaps.

Unieke: “Mimi, ready to dance”, she asks with confidence.

Courlene: “Oh! So our second battle will be Unieke against Mimi Martini”, she announces.

Beninne: “This also means that our third and final individual lip-sync will be containing Jigsaw and Gin En Tonique”, she announces.

Courlene: “We know bitch”, she says and Beninne stays quiet this time.

Tycene: “We will start with… Micro and Pepsi. The rest of you may take a seat”, she says. The 4 queens not lip-syncing now sit down.

Micro: “Honey, I am so ready for this, it’s about to go down”, she snaps.

Pepsi: “Lip Sync For Your Life’s in the regular system, alright. But this is a lip sync to the finale. We need to take this victory”, she smiles.

Tycene: “Two queens stand before me. Tonight, you will be lip syncing to…

Confetti by Little Mix, of course”, she announces. Pepsi is happy because that’s her song.

Unieke: “Fuck, that’s what I wanted us to lip-sync to”, she whispers to Mimi.

Unieke: “This is an upbeat song, I would have loved to have it. But if I had to lose it to someone, I would of course give it to them two. I feel like Jigsaw would make a ballad out of it”, she laughs.

Tycene: “Queens, this is your chance to impress me, win this round, advance to the Lip Sync For The Win, and of course, automatically advance to the Grand Finale of Season 5. Good luck, and don’t… mix it up”, she shouts.

◦ The song starts, and they are giving very energy. Micro can’t dance but tries to hide it. Pepsi’s dancing however is perfect. She is hitting every single beat and tries to add camp and party to it. The judges are loving it. They both sometimes work together.

Pepsi: “This is fun, and I am loving it. Why not dance a little with Micro then”, they laugh in their confessional.

◦ Pepsi does stunts. Her lip-syncing really shines out. The judges and everyone is gagging when she does the split after the bridge. Micro is just acting crazy and the judges are loving it. This is a very enjoyable lip-sync. The lip sync ends.

Tycene: “Wow, that was a lip-sync that will go down in history! And I have made my hard decision…
