🎶Caxina's Drag Race! Start your Engines! Caxina's Drag Race May the Best Drag Queen Win🎶

---

[EN Version]
Back in the workroom, the cast found all the eliminated queens staring at them menacingly. Their gaze was like knifes, stripping them of their garments and of their glory. All of them in full drag, serving Glamazon Realness, and ready to lay it all down on the competing cast.

“Well well well, I hope you b*tches are ready!” Estella Rubra said in a cackle.

The competing cast looked at the eliminated queens as if they had seen a coven of ghosts. But then immediately after the shock came happiness and the entire cast started hugging each other. Beannete and her drag daughters were especially wholesome, with some crying happening in the mix.

“So how is everyone doing in the competition?” Altherna asked, innocently.

“I have four wins and 0 bottom placements.” Madame Marco said, with a puffed chest. “And Madame Thénardier is almost catching up to me with 3 wins, a silent killer that’s what she is!”

Guida coughed and said something like “Rigged” while Madame Thénardier giggled at the sound of the comment Madame Marco made and replied. “I don’t know what you are talking about, I lip-synced twice already!”

“Me and Ruth also have one win, but we lip-synced once so it cancels out?” Bruxa Má do Oeste replied in a confused tone. Ruth nodded, also looking confused. “But I won last week’s challenge soooo, maybe it’s the first of many eheh”

Suzy hugged her happily at the mention of this win, saying congratulations and patting her head.

“Are you complaining about lip-syncing once or twice? Guuuuurl I lipsynced three times already and only have one win as well” Miss Betty laughed while saying this in a shady tone. “Not all of us can be like Mrs. Guida that won a challenge and hasn’t lip-synced at all”

Guida Laughed, in a condescending manner, as if she was better than the queens that have lip-synced.

“What about you Valéria?” Rosa Quartzo asked, shyly.

“Ehhh well I was in the top2 in the premier and I have been doing well in the competition, but I still haven’t won a challenge”she answered giggling nervously.”And could you imagine? My Nikita impersonation didn’t win me a challenge!”

Rosa Quartzo and Beannete laughed hard at the comment, while the rest of the eliminated queens just looked confused, especially the ones eliminated before Snatch Game.

The cast kept talking about their challenge wins, with Siena Caiena, Totarina, and Estella listening silently to the competing cast talking about the challenges they have done.

Suddenly, without any warning, Nany enters the werkroom, in full drag, connected at the hip to Julia Eucalipto, also in full drag in a matching outfit to Nany.

“Ladies, We have reached the top 7, and half of you girls have been eliminated and half of you are still competing for the title of Portugal’s Next Drag Superstar!” Dramatic pause(yes Nany really is a drama queen) “And I wonder if one of you might have gone home too soon… So, this week, you will work in teams of two, one competing queen and one eliminated queen, and the winner of this week’s Maxi Challenge will have their team-mate coming back to the competition!”

The cast looked shocked at the revelation of this twist into the competition. Some of them already looking at their eliminated friends and doing the usual eye signal conversations that people have in their local gay bar which allows them to communicate.

“And in this week’s challenge, you will Makeover your eliminated teammate in a Conjoined Drag Twin Challenge! I want to see some strong Drag Family Resemblance but also, I want you to make us gag with laughter with your ideas! To help you with outfits you can use fabrics from Tecidos & Companhia as well as appliques from Feira da Ladra” Nany clapped enthusiastically “Ladies Start your Engines! And May the Best Drag Queen… WIN!"

The Queens hurriedly grabbed each other, forming pairs, with the leftover queens looking at each other and just resigning themselves to their fate. By the end of it the pairs were as follows:

The Queens immediately got into work, designing outfits, and due to working in pairs they were able to produce some fantastic outfits. Some of them were conjoined in more visible ways, while others were almost not conjoined at all.

“Now Ladies, it’s time for you to BRING IT TO THE RUNWAY! Category is: CONJOINED DRAG TWIN REALNESS!”

First on the runway came Miss Betty and Rosa Quartzo, wearing a look that was completely unexpected of them, with whimsical gowns with flowing, layered skirts in vibrant colors and adorned with intricate floral embellishments, and in the chest area, their dresses were conjoined, making them have to walk the runway face to face. Their hair was styled in braids decorated with plastic flowers and they served camp but also a very ethereal runway.

Then came Madame Thénardier with Siena Caiena, conjoined at the hip and serving Little Mermaid being bound by Ursula, with the two of them coming out in a wheelchair, with Madame Thénardier wearing a mermaid tail and Siena Caiena with her legs hidden and wearing the Ursula inspired look. Madame Thénardier’s skin was covered in shining scale-like appliqués, which made her glow from the spotlight. Meanwhile, Siena Caiena was covered in plastic seaweed and with a much heavier makeup than Thénardier. The look was incredibly stunning visually, with many details and their performance was spot on.

After the crew finally took the wheelchair out of the stage, Bruxa Má do Oeste and Altherna Mello de Ximões entered the stage wearing sleek bodysuits in metallic shades with neon accents and geometric patterns. In the forearm they had a big Megaman-inspired cannon which covered both their hands, leaving them conjoined from the forearm to the end of their hands. From the cannon, several LED lights and circuit patterns extended. In the head, both of them wore Megaman-inspired helmets with bold futuristic makeup, with metallic and vibrant colors.

Next up came Ruth Goldberg and Estella Rubra, wearing flowing gowns in shades of white and pastels, joined at the shoulder, and holding their hands closely down the runway. On their backs, each had a pair of cheaply crafted angel wings, that clashed every time they moved due to them being so close to each other. Estella never looked as beautiful, with luminous makeup and blond loose curls, almost a signature visual of Ruth.

After the pair of conjoined at the shoulder angels left the stage, Valéria and Beannete entered the stage as a pair of celestial goddesses, with Valéria representing the Sun and Beannete the Moon. Their dresses incorporated shades of yellow and gold, and silver and black, respectively, the two held their heads close together, sharing a single wig in an intricate updo, adorned with stars and diadems for each of them. The wig made it look as if they were conjoined at the head, with the two of them walking the runway slowly, solemnly, serving majesty and divine beauty while they walked (in truth it was just so the conjoined wig wouldn’t come down and break the illusion of the two of them being conjoined at the head).

After the House of Minete left the stage, Guida Escarlate and Suzy Vodka-Laranja entered the stage wearing steampunk-inspired ensembles, with a leather corset that the two of them shared, high-waisted skirts and a ruffled blouse with 4 holes. They had their back to each other, being conjoined at the back, and they played it as if Guida was looking for Suzy and vice versa, with the queen from Ofiussia lifting Suzy off the ground while bending over. Their outfits had several gears and clockwork details, with the two of them having brunette curls and goggles on their heads, as well as intricate jewelry.

Last but not least, Madame Marco and Totarina entered the stage, dressed as Renaissance Royals conjoined at the waist. They both wore intricate and opulent gowns, sharing a single skirt for the two of them, in rich fabrics, with exquisite embroidery and lace details. Jeweled crowns and statement necklaces made their look even more luxurious while the elaborate updos adorned with ribbons and pearls truly sold the idea of royalty. The two walked solemnly, grabbing each other’s waist to keep themselves as close as possible, to sell their idea of royal sisters conjoined at the hip.

After all the queens walked the runway, they all came back to the stage, still on their Conjoined Drag Twin looks, to receive their critiques from the judges.

"Now Ladies, while you might have worked in pairs, the competing cast member had creative direction responsibility and as such, only he shall be the one receiving the critiques tonight. Now when I call your name, please step forward."

"Miss Betty Wintour, you are safe! You may go untuck backstage.”

Miss Betty and Rosa Quartzo did as they were told, leaving the stage.

"Based on your Conjoined Drag Twin Makeover’s, Valéria CP, Ruth Goldberg, Madame Marco, Bruxa Má do Oeste, Guida Escarlate, Madame Thénardier, you represent the tops and the bottoms of the week."

“Valéria CP, tonight you truly became a goddess and ascended to a new plane of existence. This look is so sophisticated and it show’s a new facet of yours. I adore the concept of Sun and Moon as a sisterhood, and the way you two presented it, by being conjoined at the head it just works, it’s a very cohesive look, Condragulations!”

“Ruth Goldberg, my dear this kind of look is very on brand with you but unfortunately, I think it falls a bit flat. I think this is the best I’ve seen Estella this season, but I feel like you could have take more risks. Conjoined at the shoulder seems like a easy way out, but even so I don’t think you were able to design your outfit in a way that it makes sense. Your wings were clashing on the runway and that took us out of the fantasy.”

“Madame Marco, another week another slay. You just keep raising the level of the competition and I cannot thank you enough for you performance this season! This look you designed is giving me Royalty and is giving me Queens by their own right and frankly the more I look at it the more I like it! It’s truly a great look and knowing that you and Totarina both have very different physiologies and face shapes it just makes it more incredible how the familiar resemblance is there in such a clear way!”

“Bruxa Má do Oeste, my dear I think this is your problem is that you don’t give us enough on the runway. This look you designed is a good look, passable, but it lacks that star factor. I love the Megaman reference, but at the same time, I think you could have done so much more with it. It feels basic in comparison with the other looks on the runway. I believe you could do much better than this.”

“Guida Escarlate, what I said to Madame Marco also applies to you. You and Suzy are so different body wise that the way you were able to make it have such a strong family resemblance is commendable. Not only that but this is very different from what you usually wear and you two had fun on the runway and you sold the look in a very endearing way. Great job this week!”

“Madame Thénardier, looking at this look, this is incredible, I love the execution of the look, all the details and even the performance you two was really good. HOWEVER, this doesn’t really give Conjoined Drag Twin and not only that, you two didn’t really walk the runway. I think you forgot that this should be more than just a good ensemble, it has to be practical enough for you to be able to walk the runway. Otherwise, great job on the construction of this outfit, you made it so that Siena almost looks as if she is coming out of your body and that takes skill.”

Nany did a pause before clapping her hands.

“While the judges and I deliberate, you girls go join the others in the Untuck Lounge”

Back on the stage, Nany Invictus looked to the 12 competitors before delivering the final placements of the episode.

“Ladies I’ve Made some Decisions!”Nany did a dramatic pause.

“Guida Escarlate, tonight you found a way into the top, keep going and you might find a way into a win, you are safe!The Queen from Ofiussia smiled and thanked Nany while going to the back of the stage.

“Valéria CP, tonigh you made us see the light. Stella who?”

“Madame Marco tonight you were royalty, and like royalty you came you saw and you conquered. Condragulations dear you are the Winner of this Weeks Maxi Challenge!” Madame Marco thanked Nany while looking visibly smug. “As such, Totarina you are back in the competition! And you both won a 1000 euro gift card courtesy of “Cristina Talks and the Minimum Salary Shoes”!”

The two queens hugged eachother, while the rest of the cast applauded.

“Valéria, you are safe!” Valéria thanked Nany and went to the back of the stage with Beannete.

Nany did a small pause and looked to the bottom queens with some pity.

“Madame Thénardier, you are safe, you may step to the back of the Stage” The queen from Herya thanked Nany and had a member of the Pit Crew push her wheelchair to the back of the stage.

“Bruxa Má do Oeste, Ruth Goldberg, I’m sorry my dears but you are up for elimination”

The screen briefly cuts into confessionals, with Ruth still looking visibly nervous about having to lipsync and this time having to lipsync while being stuck to Estella, who was not an admirable lipsyncer. Meanwhile, Bruxa Má do Oeste looked much more confident. It was a song she performed back at home, and she was not going home tonight no matter what!

“Two Queens stand before me. Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance to Work B*tch by Britney Spears!” The camera cuts to the rest of the cast, with all the queens looking visibly excited for the pop icon performance[i] “Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself FROM ELIMINATION! The time has come for you to lip-sync… for your life! Good luck and don’t funk it up!”

[i]The four queens on the stage (yes four because they are lipsyncing in pairs) performed the song in a very respectable performance, although the stage was clearly very crowded, and maybe having them perform in pairs was not the best idea (you hear me producers?) Bruxa Má and Altherna went on a much more Britney-like performance, serving face and moves, while Ruth Goldberg and Estella gave a much more comedic-like routine, not being able to serve the full range of dance moves that the two others did. Deciding who was going to win was for sure going to be a challenge.

After they were done, the Queens in the back clapped, but some of them, namely Suzy Vodka-Laranja, Siena Caiena, and Beannete Minete looked as if they wish they were the ones there to give the judges a much better performance. Nany left the judge’s table for a while and gave a quick word with the rest of the producers.

“Bruxa Má do Oeste! Shantay, you Stay!”

The queen from Kukinalia thanked Nany and hugged Ruth and Estella, before going to the back of the stage and going to the back of the stage with Altherna.

“Ruth Goldberg, may your future be as bright as your talent, now Sashay Away!”

Ruth gave a big smile while going to the back and then kissed Madame Marco passionately while on the stage, before hugging the rest of the cast. Estella just watched this unfold and was completely in shock.

“Well At Least I Won Something hehe!”

Ruth then left the stage, with Estella patting her shoulders, trying to keep her from crying.

"Now if you can’t love yourself how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else can I get a gayman up in here?!"

The Queen screamed “Gayman”

“Now let the Music Play!” Work B*tch by Britney Spears was heard on the runway and the queens exited the stage while duckwalking and having a party on the stage really. A new top 7 was crowned, but the numbers were just going to come down from now on.
