the queens return to the workroom after Greantee's win
Zodya: Does anyone want to drop a pin to see if we can hear it?
Alex: A touch of tension.
Slerna: I have at least two more hours left in me to fight, so if anyone wants some.
🏁Slerna CF: Some people tire out because they let their blood pressure get too high. But I don't have blood, I'm made up of maple syrup. I can throw punches all day.
Layla: Congratulations to miss Greantee!
Greantee: Eeek, thank you thank you.
🏁Greantee CF: From the moment I stepped into the workroom, I knew the pressure was on me and that people had really high expectations of what I could do. Starting off with a win lets me relax a little bit, and not feel like I have to prove myself as much.
Blondie: Mini dress and a dream. I guess that's all it takes to win here.
Greantee: I'd like to think it was a little more than that, but sure!
Nicole: Humph.
Bellaron: Wren, I know you had some thoughts about the way we do drag in Untucked, but I'm really glad you're still here.
Wren: Thank you. I'll be honest, my thoughts haven't really changed. But I do have respect for you and I hope you know that.
Nicole: Humph. Hmm....
Bellaron: For sure.
Nicole: Hmmm......
Blu: Nicole, do you have something to say?
Nicole: Oh me? No.
Blu: Alright, well onto something el-
Nicole: Gosh, if you're gonna drag it out of me.
🏁Nicole CF: These girls really want to know about how I'm feeling. It feels like they're prying into me out of nowhere.
Nicole: I'll be honest, I'm mad. I feel like when I was up on stage and looked around, I was the one to beat. But to be safe, that's not good enough.
Slerna: Do you want to switch places?
Nicole: No, don't be ridiculous. It's hard to see the judges not seeing it for me. I have to be even better than the best, and just hope that they won't rig it against me.
Layla: Be so for real right now.
Nicole: I wish this was fake, trust me.
🏁Nicole CF: Even the brightest stars can't always be seen. Maybe its one of those solar eclipse things. But I'll keep on shining. I'm a star baby!
The Next Day
the queens enter the workroom in divided groups, with Wren, Alex, Slerna, Zodya, and Greantee together, and Blu, Blondie, Bellaron, Layla, and Summer on the other side
🏁Blondie CF: It's a new day in the workroom and I can tell people are a little bothered by me. And quite frankly, let's turn it up even higher. I want these girls to drop like flies just at the thought of being around me. If you wanted a villain, here I am.
Greantee: I wanted to say a really quick congratulations to Blu on making it into the top last week. It was a pleasure to share the stage with you.
Blu: Aw, thanks! I'm not always someone who stands out in a crowd, so it was major validation for me. It meant a lot.
🏁Blu CF: This isn't how I expected the season to start off. With how loud this group is, I thought I would be struggling to make a strong impression. But when it came down to it, I was able to do well. This is a warning for the other queens that I'm not someone they can count out.
Sheba: Personally, I was really hoping to land in the top with the last challenge. Does anyone else feel like they had a placement that didn't match to how they feel they did?
Nicole: No.
Sheba: Oh goodbye.
Zodya: The hardest part for me is not getting feedback from Micro. I felt good about what I presented, but I guess it just wasn't enough.
🏁Zodya CF: The fire under my ass right now is burning, Taco Bell style. Things move fast here. Cementing myself as a threat is something that needs to happen and it needs to happen now.
the door to the workroom swings open and Micro enters wearing a fuchsia mini dress with teased out hair
Micro: Hello queens! There are still twelve of you here, so let's get right into the next challenge. This week, you will be split into four teams of three, and design pages for the MDR 2023 calendar. And to decide teams, I'll leave that up to you. Blu, Grean, Slerna, and Wren. As the top two and bottom two queens of the last challenge, you will be team captains this week. And on the runway, category is "Wacky and Weird", featuring looks that highlight exaggerated proportions. Good luck!
🏁Wren CF: Being a team captain this week is that little advantage that I need to climb out of the bottom. On my team, I chose Alex and Layla. Alex is the person I'm closest to, and I see a lot of hidden potential in Layla. On Blu's team, she chose Blondie and Nicole, shocker! Greantee chose Bellaron and Summer. And for Slerna, she chose Sheba and Zodya. And that team scares me. If anyone can reach my team, I think it will be them.
the teams split up and move around the workroom
🏁Greantee CF: I'm trying not to show it, but I'm worried for this challenge. Working with a group is always terrifying to me. I don't want my fate to be in the hands of someone else, and I also don't want to let anyone down.
Bellaron: Thank you for picking the two of us, it's such an honor.
Greantee: I can't wait!
Summer: We got the winner on our side, I love it.
Greantee: It's not like that at all. I'm here with all of you fighting for the same crown. We're all at this level together, and I respect both of you.
🏁Bellaron CF: Greantee is a huge force in the drag community. And for her to be humble about it...could never be me! I'd be shouting from the rooftops with my #TeamBellaron shirts.
Summer: Let's keep it drag with this calendar. I think highlighting certain queens could work to our advantage, since that would be what you see with a typical calendar.
Greantee: Can I do Kelly Mantle? I...worship her.
Bellaron: Oh?
Greantee: I can list all of her acting credits, and I'll happily do so.
🏁Greantee CF: It's called diva worship, get into it.
Summer: If we're all good with this plan, let's rock it out!
🏁Summer CF: Taking more of a leadership position is something I'm comfortable with. If our team excels here, I want to be the one to stand up and say that I brought us here. Maybe it's a risk, but it's what feels right.
Blu's team talks by the couches
Nicole: I'm honed in on winning this week. I don't want to accept anything else.
Blu: I don't know what to do with this challenge, I'll keep it real.
Nicole: Hmm okay, just follow my lead. Blondie, you good?
Blondie: I'm so drained from everything that happened earlier, I'm sorry.
🏁Nicole CF: This is the worst case scenario for me. These two are not in the right mindset, but they're also close friends. If we end up in the bottom together, they could definitely throw me under the bus to save each other.
Nicole: Based on past seasons, Micro likes humor that doesn't take itself too seriously. We need to lean into that.
Blondie: Works for me.
Blu: Yep.
Nicole: Love the enthusiasm!
Wren's team gathers around a table with a box of filming equipment
Wren: This is our week to dig our nails in and leave a mark. Let's do the most.
Layla: What's with the camera equipment.
Wren: I thought we could maybe do a little advertisement video for our calendar.
Alex: Anything that pushes us to the next level.
Layla: I'm just worried about that being seen as a waste of time.
Wren: Look at me in my eyes. I promise you, we will get it done. I will drink enough caffeine to stay up all night and make sure we deliver the best of the best. Please just trust me here.
Layla: Let's go for it, why not.
Wren: Whew, yay!
🏁Layla CF: I don't know if this will pay off for us. We could have all the bells and whistles in the world, but if we don't have the bare essentials, we'll get thrown into the bottom.
Alex: Let's get this set up and start with some storyboards.
🏁Alex CF: One thing that Wren and I bond over is that neither of us are afraid to go the extra mile. If that's what it takes to bring us to the top, we'll do it. This is made for us.
Slerna and her team sit on the floor as they sketch out concepts
Slerna: We have the summer months, so I think our challenge will be making sure they don't blend together. I mean, what even is August if not July's uglier sister?
Sheba: I'm wanting to do my page based around the emptiness that summer can have. When you have nothing to do, so you just do anything that sounds mildly intriguing.
Slerna: I was gonna do like...the dangers of factory work.
Zodya: ...as a calendar page?
Slerna: Look at that reaction. You can't say you weren't intrigued.
Zodya: That's one word for it!
🏁Zodya CF: Slerna is this source of endless creativity. Being with her on a team becomes a challenge of how to utilize that, without losing control and falling into insanity. But if we can strike a balance, we're golden.
Sheba: I need to go run and grab something, I'll be back.
Slerna: Don't take too long, we have to head to the runway soon.
Sheba: I'll be good.
🏁Slerna CF: Sheba gets up and leaves. We don't have that much time left, and I'm starting to worry. If she doesn't come back in time, she might take Zodya and I down with her.
Runway
the lights flicker and a purple light floods the runway as Micro struts down the center
Micro Episode 2 Look
Micro: Welcome to the runway of Micro's Drag Race! Joining me tonight, we have the lipsync assassin herself, May I. Havanother!
May I. Guest Judging Look
Micro: May, how have you been?
May: Is this the part where you put me behind a bingo wheel to pick songs?
Micro: Not this time, but we can arrange that!
May: Absolutely not. Never again.
Micro: What is your fondest memory of the branding challenge on Season Three?
May: I'd have to say something along the lines of everyone saying I deserved to go home and then winning. That's tough to beat!
Micro: I still can't believe we didn't get the Emmy for that...yeah. Anywho! For this challenge, the queens were split into four groups of three, and had to design their very own pages for the MDR 2023 calendar! But first, on the runway, category is "Wacky and Weird", a look highlighting exaggerated and unusual proportions. Let's go!
"Bad Juju" by Jujubee plays
Alex: I had an original idea for this runway, but as I was editing the picture I realized it flopped hard. So I came up with this look instead. The silhouette is quite simple by the materials of the outfit are all metal and car engine based with exhaust pipes, gears, car doors, broken glass, and billboards. If that isn’t a weird enough source of materials, idk what are. My concept idea is a mechanical Angel of death.
Alex Runway
Bellaron: Tonight I'm channeling all the quirkiness I have whilst keeping it cute and couture! I am the Fairy Goddess of this season and I'll be casting a spell on Micro to give me the win! This is over the top and so is Bellaron so I think it's a perfect category for me! Now watch out, because this bitch is about to fly up up and away!
Bellaron Runway
Blondie: Tonight I wanted to give a large performance and celebrate the better times of the Renaissance era! Back when the white- I mean, RIGHT people had power~ I am wearing my overexaggerated hat with lots of roses and flowers, this, and I'm still counting, 9-layer gown! It's completely bedazzled and ruffled completely to create my perfect silhouette! It's making me look tiny and petite in the face like real women should look! I even did a classic powder face and ginger hair to match the aesthetic of this era. How whimsical & wacky indeed!
Blondie Runway
Blu: Not gonna lie, this runway is not my forté whatsoever... but that doesn't mean I won't give it a shot! For this runway I decided to go for "alien birth but make it glam". The "wacky" parts are this blooming flower gown silhouette I'm birthing from, the vaporwave colors, and the multiple different materials my designer used that normally clash together, but they all work perfectly in this look! And if this isn't wacky and weird enough... sue me.
Blu Runway
Greantee: greantee steps onto the stage in her wacky and weird ensemble, shaking her head so the bells on her hat jingle for the judges
Greantee: This week i'm serving wacky and weird prints and proportions with this whimsical lavender fantasy! she's a little jester elf whose outfit has been taken over by these silly little guys!
as greantee hops and bops on the runway, she spins around and the arms of the guy around her hips whirl in the air
Greantee: My friends gerald, benry, rhan-tegoth the bringer of suffering, and sam are all here with me to slay and serve on the runway!
greantee heads back to the runway entrance and before leaving, takes benry's dangling hand and waves it to the judges
Greantee Runway
Layla: This look is based on the amazing, strong Queen Elizabeth I & the other strong queens of England. The wacky proportion is the bottom part of the dress, but I can still walk with it bitch. This look is glamour and I love love love it and I hope Micro loves it too.
Layla Runway
Nicole: For this look I chose to do a club kid inspired outfit that gives you alien, technology and aesthetic vibes. It's super avant garde and it's not up my alley but it's good to take a risk sometimes y'know! I'm serving you big, bold and crazy with my sky high boots hunny, fierceeeeee!
Nicole Runway
Sheba: as the lights flash the entrance and the music kicks in...it is revealed that nobody is standing on the runway
Slerna: This week, I wanted to really take this runway to another level. I tried last week but it didn't end well, so this week I hope it does! For my wacky proportions, her arms much longer than normal. Not extremely obvious, but enough to make you uncomfortable. She's filthy, and a little bit gross, and is really playing the role of alien. She's slimy from head to toe with lots of puss filled pimples. As she walks the runway, she makes hard, forceful steps. About halfway down, her left tit starts to drip drop, revealing 3 worms!!! Ew!! Her right eye (it is fake), also falls out of her head, and another worm pops out of there. She plays with her little eyeball, and as she tries to lift up her left tit, her nipple falls off!! Oh fuck it. Snack time! She pops it in her mouth and carries on down the runway. Ewwww!
Slerna Runway
Summer: I decided to utilise translucent materials and create this jellyfish eleganza. It's glowing with LEDs and I'm feeling my true alien fantasy.
Summer Runway
Wren: This runway is just a reflection of me being tired. Being trans is honestly fucking exhausting, I'm so tired of being their devil or their scapegoat- their secret little fetish, someone who they'll get off to but who they won't respect as a basic human being. I have alot of internalized transphobia I have and have been dealing with, sometimes you wake up in the morning feeling like frankenstein's monster, or like an abomination. Unlearning is a process and one that is difficult to begin. Yet even after all of this, all of it, I still have it better than most other trans people. This runway gave me the chance to vent a little bit of anger and frustration that I have. Trans is beautiful, even if it doesn't always feel like that.
Wren Runway
Zodya: For my runway this week, I am showing off all the curves and swerves in my Yimeng Yu-inspired! My garment is so curvy and layered so intricately that it almost looks alien!
Zodya Runway

Micro: Looking good ladies! Now, let's take a look at these calendar pages!
Team Greantee (Grean, Bellaron, Summer), (January, February, March)
January, February, March
Team Wren (Wren, Alex, Layla), (April, May, June)
https://youtu.be/WMoYBGdZU0o
April 4th: Omegaphobia Awareness Day, from being discriminated in the workplace to being the subject of ridicule at school, Omegas never seem to be able to catch a break in modern society. That's why we have this nationally recognized holiday to bring awareness to the issue. Traditions for this day include posting an infographic on instagram or starting a debate on twitter without actually doing fuck-all. April 17th: National Cupcakke Day, we celebrate a national treasure and hero, someone who has sacrificed so much for so little in return. Toda, we thank Elizabeth "Cupcakke" Eden Harris for her service to not only this country, but her service to the world. No wars have been fought since the release of CPR (don't fact-check that), and our bringer of world peace deserves the absolute world. Traditions for this day include fucking up in every zipcode and making my pussy wetter than a fishbowl
April 21st: Mpreg Appreciate Day, today we recognize all the beautiful souls who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Carrying a fetus between the booty-cheeks . Childbirth is a beautiful thing and too often do our humble, fertile, breedable omegas go underlooked. Traditions include taking your local omega to panda express and taking your local omega to a musical.
April 26th-29th: Omeganukkah, our world is beautiful and has so many different types of people in it and by so many, I mean three. Alphas, Betas, and Omegas. Omeganukkah is the festival of lights, comprising a total of 4 nights, Omeganukkah dedicates one day to each of the 3 classifications (except Alphas who get two nights because they're just that Alpha). Traditions include the lighting of the traditional pheromonal candles, which are sure to set any nearby Omegas into heat and eating an aggressive amount of sauerkraut.
National Self Care Day- Every second Sunday of every May, is National Self Care Day. A day where we expose fake friends and take our sugar pills to forget our problematic pasts. It’s a day of remembrance of the social media scandal between Tati Westbrook and [email protected] [email protected].
Transracial Day - On May 16th, we use our very magical skincare products to make us black! This is one of our most loved holidays, cause we love black people! #BLACK LIVES MATTER
Pretty Predator Day - On the 25th of may, Micro's bestest friend, James Charles didn't come to play. But he came to prey on minors, Watch out for the world's scurriest myth.
Straight Pride “stay in the closet queers” Day- On June 8th, it’s a day for all straights to embrace their identity and silence the marginalized voices of non straights. Its a day to do all of your favorite straight activities like cheat on your wife, like our proud celebrity sponsor Adam Levine or former Try guy Ned Fulmer! It’s a great day to be not gay!
National Super Straight Remembrance Day- This day is dedicated to the real heroes of the straight community, the super straights. They promote our purest form of love between two CIS people (man and woman only of course). This day is celebrated every 3rd Sunday, where their “preferences” are applauded and praised.
International Cargo Shorts Day- On the 28th of Homophobic June is day solely dedicated to Cargo Shorts. The epitome of straight fashion, the most versatile of mens wear. So many pockets to be filled with the many mini bibles you pass out on the road to speeding by cars. Or they can be filled with all the loose one dollar bills you just got from that atm to tip the strippers while your wife thinks you’re working late. Whoever you celebrate this international holiday, just know this month is for you as it comes to an end.
April, May, June

October, November, December
Critiques
Micro: Thank you queens! It's time for your critiques. First up, Team Greantee.
May: You three made some great calendar pages, and I love how cohesive they look, despite having wildly different themes. Summer, your page was ✨️absolutely✨️iconic, and of course I live for the trans rights. My one critique for you is that I would've wanted to see more pictures on the actual dates rather than just blocks of text, but apart from that it's a really strong showing. Grean, your page singlehandedly made me a devoted Kelly Mantle stan. The 1s being Kelly herself, making all of the holidays about Kelly, and the random Tammie Brown day took me OUT! Kelly Mantle is mother but you are too. And Belladonna, your psychedelic Willow picture was definitely the highlight of your page. You had a good balance of pictures/holidays, and I loved how you made it look like someone had written on the calendar - they'll definitely remember to take their wiwwow piww! Overall, you three did a great job and you should be proud of yourselves!
Micro: This team has some heavy hitters on it and it really did show. There were a lot of great jokes, especially with January and February. I cannot even tell you how much I appreciate having four days to appreciate Kelly Mantle. Could you have gone for five? Yes, and you really should have because she deserves it. The formatting and layout of these pages was also some of the best of the night. With these runways, you all turned it out. Bellaron, you look like a whimsical fairy and it gives me life. Grean, this is flawless. It combines the wacky and weird with the exaggerated proportions better than anyone else tonight in my opinion. And Summer, I thought you looked so captivating, but maybe not totally delivering the theme.
Micro: Next up, Team Wren!
May: You absolutely MOTHERED this challenge. The thing I loved most is the coherent (yet absurd) theme; it was very clear that you worked together on all three months, rather than just assigning each queen a month and working on the pages individually. And on top of that, the complete ridiculousness of your pages had me SO entertained. While I'm not sure who exactly did what, Wren, you were the standout of your group this week. The video was the cherry on top of a great submission, and your runway was by far my favorite of the week - I fully understand the rage and exhaustion behind your look, and the message you delivered was one that needed to be said. WONDERFUL job this week!
Micro: Okay so, hmm. Where do I begin. First, I'll say that anything extra added, will be seen as an enhancement, not as automatic extra points. With that being said, you all crushed it. Each month had a clear perspective and they were executed well. The video made me pee a little I think but even if we ignored that, your pages stand on their own. It was risk taking and it paid off. On the runway, we have a lot to discuss! Alex, this is a really great look for you. Last week, I asked you to up the dragginess and that's what you did. Don't you love when following critiques pays off? What a concept! I adore this look. Layla, I'm not a huge fan of this look tonight. I think it toes the line on the theme but also has just been so overdone at this point with the royal Marie Antoinette look. It's cute, but you can do more. Wren. I was so scared for this look when you first said the concept. But you did it, you made it work. It was a strong message and that's a cornerstone of drag. I wish there was some jewelry but I thought it was a strong look.
Micro: Team Slerna!
May: I do want to start out by saying that all three of you put so much effort into your portion of the calendar. July, which I can only assume was done by miss Sheba, is amazing with all of the various events; I was laughing the entire time! August, which I assume was done by Slerna, was also amazing with how you illustrated each of the holidays. And as an avid Earth Wind and Fire fan, I'm so happy with whoever decided to take the 21st night of September and stretch it out into an entire month's theme! I will say that my issue is with the cohesion, or lack of thereof. Each individual page is great, but it seems like you picked three random calendars and Frankensteined them together. Even if you had just gone with a similar color scheme or typeface across all three months, it would've made it loads better.
Micro: Let's address the elephant in the room, and not the fact that I put on 5-25 pounds last year. Sheba isn't here tonight, which is quite unfortunate! But I'll judge what you do have. I thought these calendar pages were incredibly strong. There isn't a unifying theme between them but I also don't think there needed to be one? They were all well made, and visually striking. My favorite would have to be August I think! With the runways, I think Sheba looks amazing. The minimalist approach is just so avant garde and high fashion. Slerna, so much of your drag makes no sense to me and I adore that. You are off in your own world and you do it flawlessly. Zodya, this is like a piece of art. I wish there were some styling changes with the hair and jewelry but I love it. Overall, strong night for you all.
Micro: Last but not least, Team Blu!
May: I hate to say it, but I do think your portion of the calendar was the weakest in my opinion. I don't know if this was the intent, but all three pages just seemed rushed, and the fact that November was the only month with any sort of date indicators didn't exactly make it much better - how would I know when I can celebrate Sasha Colby week trans icon week when I don't know when it is? And December? I mean this in the nicest way possible, but that's not a calendar page, that's a gallery of Donatella Versace and various other blonde icons. On that note, November was definitely the strongest for me, and I liked how you included a writeup of what each day was rather than just trying to squeeze it into the calendar date itself. Even if it wasn't my favorite overall, I did also like how all of your holidays had some common turkey religion theme to them, which was reflected in the writeup. So yeah, tonight definitely wasn't your best showing, but I look forward to seeing how you improve over the season; all three of you have massive potential.
Micro: I think you had some strong moments during this challenge. The Tamisha joke, the chaos of November, and the Donatella calendar that snuck in pictures of not Donatella, I was laughing! I do think though that the concepts could've been more well developed. Bringing in holidays or more structure to the images, things like that. On the runway, I thought you all looked great. Blondie, this is high drag and exactly what I've come to expect from you. Blu, I think this is a strong look and I love the colors, but it maybe could be more exaggerated with the proportions. And then Nicole, I think this is a solid look. It fits the brief, but I do think you could've pushed even more. Also, I do need to acknowledge that Blondie, you had a little struggle getting this all done.
Micro: Thank you queens. While you untuck backstage, May and I will deliberate.
Untucked
the queens all enter Untucked
🏁Wren CF: Walking into Untucked this time feels so different than the last challenge. I was hoping for a challenge like this where I could let my creativity flow through, and I'm so happy with what we were able to do!
Wren: Cheers ladies, we made it through another challenge!
Bellaron: I'm still not totally sure on what that challenge was, but we did it.
Layla: It was giving free labor, very that. Micro needed some new merch!
Greantee: Since we all got critiques, does anyone feel like they were able to get some insight on what Micro is wanting to see from them?
Zodya: That was what I wanted this week but I don't think that this was my best work tonight. I wanted to get critiques under different circumstances, you know?
Slerna: If this ends up judged in teams, who knows what might happen. Only two of us are here right now.
Sheba enters Untucked in jeans and a hoodie
Sheba: Hey!
Zodya: Where have you been?
Sheba: Oh I just had to run and do something, I figured I could make it in time.
Blu: We already did the runway...
Sheba: That's fine, it'll take me like twenty minutes to get into my look and then we can start back up.
🏁Summer CF: I don't think that Sheba sees what's happening here. It's not as lighthearted as she may see it. She let her team down, and none of us know how Micro will react to this. If I was Sheba, I'd start learning these words.
Micro enters Untucked and invites Sheba to step outside
Micro: Glad you're here, I was worried!
Sheba: Oh it's no big deal, I can just slip into my look really quick.
Micro: I hate to do this but it does put me in a bit of a weird spot. Since you didn't walk the runway with the other queens, I don't know how to fairly judge this.
Sheba: I told you, I can get into my look right now.
Micro: I get that. But it doesn't seem fair to the other queens to let that go without any consequences.
Sheba: It's just a look.
Micro: It's not though, it's a respect thing.
Sheba: So what do you want me to do with this.
Micro: I'm really sorry, but I think having you in the bottom is what would be the most fair. You can still fight for your spot here, and I really think you can make it to the end of this competition. This isn't the end.
Sheba: No.
Micro: Huh?
Sheba: If that's what we're doing, I'll walk out. I sacrificed a lot to come back here and compete again. I'm not letting you put me in the bottom, when what I worked on was far from the worst. I'm not starting off here with a bottom, I won't do it.
Micro: I can't just ignore it though.
Sheba: Judge it based on how I did in the challenge, because we both know I did well. And if I need to leave, I'll take the next flight.
Micro: Whew, okay. Look, I need to put my foot down here. I can not ignore this in the judging. I want you here, but I can't budge from my initial response.
Sheba: Really? You bring me back, and then do this?
Micro: Sheba, I'm sorry.
Sheba: What a joke, I'm done here.
Sheba walks back into Untucked and grabs her makeup kit
Sheba: Bye bitches!
Alex: What?!
Sheba: I'm not about to sit here and act like any of this is fair or right. Micro has lost her mind, and I'm not dealing with it anymore.
Bellaron: What happened?
Sheba: She wants to put me in the bottom for showing up a little late. I refuse.
Slerna: Please Sheba. Just take this, and bounce back next week.
Sheba: I'm telling you right now, my decision is final. I want to go home. And I swear to god, if I saw that bitch in the streets, I'd knock her out. This has been a complete waste of time.
Slerna: Please.
Zodya: Let her go Slerna, let her go.
🏁Layla CF: I think Sheba will regret this decision. But there's no reasoning with her right now. I don't know what this means for the future of the competition, but none of us can stop her. This all got way too out of hand.
the queens return to the runway
Micro: Welcome back queens. Now, that was not quite how I expected things to shake out. But based on your performances in the challenge and on the runway, I've made some decisions. When I call your name, please step forward.
Micro: Bellaron, Greantee, Layla, Nicole, Summer, Zodya. The six of you are safe.
🏁Zodya CF: After how crazy Untucked just got, I will take that safe! Everything has been flipped on its head, safety is one of the most important things we can have.
Micro: Wren Wyvern. Tonight, you saved the date. Congratulations, you are the winner of this challenge!
🏁Wren CF: Print the merch, get it ready, I did it!! I gave absolutely everything I had to this challenge, and it paid off.
Micro: Alex, Slerna. Great work this week, you are safe. The three of you can step to the back of the stage.
Micro: Blu. Your October calendar was scary, but not in the right ways.
Micro: Blondie. On the runway, you brought the extravagance. But the challenge was a bit of a miss.
Micro: Blu, you are safe. You may step to the back of the stage.
Blu runs over to Blondie and hugs her, before walking to the back
Micro: Blondie, I'm sorry but you are the bottom queen this week.
Alex and Wren glance at each other and smirk
🏁Blondie CF: I'm ready, let's go. But wait...who am I going against?!
Micro: Now, only one queen is up on this stage right now. Sheba has decided to leave the competition. And that means Blondie, this is your lucky night. You are safe, and can step to the back of the stage.
Blondie: Uh...oh wow. Thank you, I was not expecting this.
Micro: Before we move forward, I want to ask you all for one thing. If you don't want to be here, I will gladly point you to the door. I can see that most of you have the determination to stick it out to the end. If you aren't feeling that way, leave now.
the queens look around nervously at each other at the back of the stage
Summer: About that...
Layla: Summer, don't do this.
Summer: I've decided to stay in the competition.
Micro: Biiitch. When I tell you, I was about to get your ass if you walked out.
Summer: Someone needed to break the tension!
Micro: Thank you all for making this decision. With that being said, congratulations on making it to the next challenge. The competition is tight this season. Now, let the music play!
"Banjo" by Bebe Zahara Benet plays
Next Time on Micro's Drag Race
Micro: All you need is love, but all I need is a few million dollars worth of crypto sent to an offshore account!
Fleur: Cut the arrogance, it's not a good look.

the queens return to the workroom after Greantee's win
Zodya: Does anyone want to drop a pin to see if we can hear it?
Alex: A touch of tension.
Slerna: I have at least two more hours left in me to fight, so if anyone wants some.
🏁Slerna CF: Some people tire out because they let their blood pressure get too high. But I don't have blood, I'm made up of maple syrup. I can throw punches all day.
Layla: Congratulations to miss Greantee!
Greantee: Eeek, thank you thank you.
🏁Greantee CF: From the moment I stepped into the workroom, I knew the pressure was on me and that people had really high expectations of what I could do. Starting off with a win lets me relax a little bit, and not feel like I have to prove myself as much.
Blondie: Mini dress and a dream. I guess that's all it takes to win here.
Greantee: I'd like to think it was a little more than that, but sure!
Nicole: Humph.
Bellaron: Wren, I know you had some thoughts about the way we do drag in Untucked, but I'm really glad you're still here.
Wren: Thank you. I'll be honest, my thoughts haven't really changed. But I do have respect for you and I hope you know that.
Nicole: Humph. Hmm....
Bellaron: For sure.
Nicole: Hmmm......
Blu: Nicole, do you have something to say?
Nicole: Oh me? No.
Blu: Alright, well onto something el-
Nicole: Gosh, if you're gonna drag it out of me.
🏁Nicole CF: These girls really want to know about how I'm feeling. It feels like they're prying into me out of nowhere.
Nicole: I'll be honest, I'm mad. I feel like when I was up on stage and looked around, I was the one to beat. But to be safe, that's not good enough.
Slerna: Do you want to switch places?
Nicole: No, don't be ridiculous. It's hard to see the judges not seeing it for me. I have to be even better than the best, and just hope that they won't rig it against me.
Layla: Be so for real right now.
Nicole: I wish this was fake, trust me.
🏁Nicole CF: Even the brightest stars can't always be seen. Maybe its one of those solar eclipse things. But I'll keep on shining. I'm a star baby!
The Next Day
the queens enter the workroom in divided groups, with Wren, Alex, Slerna, Zodya, and Greantee together, and Blu, Blondie, Bellaron, Layla, and Summer on the other side
🏁Blondie CF: It's a new day in the workroom and I can tell people are a little bothered by me. And quite frankly, let's turn it up even higher. I want these girls to drop like flies just at the thought of being around me. If you wanted a villain, here I am.
Greantee: I wanted to say a really quick congratulations to Blu on making it into the top last week. It was a pleasure to share the stage with you.
Blu: Aw, thanks! I'm not always someone who stands out in a crowd, so it was major validation for me. It meant a lot.
🏁Blu CF: This isn't how I expected the season to start off. With how loud this group is, I thought I would be struggling to make a strong impression. But when it came down to it, I was able to do well. This is a warning for the other queens that I'm not someone they can count out.
Sheba: Personally, I was really hoping to land in the top with the last challenge. Does anyone else feel like they had a placement that didn't match to how they feel they did?
Nicole: No.
Sheba: Oh goodbye.
Zodya: The hardest part for me is not getting feedback from Micro. I felt good about what I presented, but I guess it just wasn't enough.
🏁Zodya CF: The fire under my ass right now is burning, Taco Bell style. Things move fast here. Cementing myself as a threat is something that needs to happen and it needs to happen now.
the door to the workroom swings open and Micro enters wearing a fuchsia mini dress with teased out hair
Micro: Hello queens! There are still twelve of you here, so let's get right into the next challenge. This week, you will be split into four teams of three, and design pages for the MDR 2023 calendar. And to decide teams, I'll leave that up to you. Blu, Grean, Slerna, and Wren. As the top two and bottom two queens of the last challenge, you will be team captains this week. And on the runway, category is "Wacky and Weird", featuring looks that highlight exaggerated proportions. Good luck!
🏁Wren CF: Being a team captain this week is that little advantage that I need to climb out of the bottom. On my team, I chose Alex and Layla. Alex is the person I'm closest to, and I see a lot of hidden potential in Layla. On Blu's team, she chose Blondie and Nicole, shocker! Greantee chose Bellaron and Summer. And for Slerna, she chose Sheba and Zodya. And that team scares me. If anyone can reach my team, I think it will be them.
the teams split up and move around the workroom
🏁Greantee CF: I'm trying not to show it, but I'm worried for this challenge. Working with a group is always terrifying to me. I don't want my fate to be in the hands of someone else, and I also don't want to let anyone down.
Bellaron: Thank you for picking the two of us, it's such an honor.
Greantee: I can't wait!
Summer: We got the winner on our side, I love it.
Greantee: It's not like that at all. I'm here with all of you fighting for the same crown. We're all at this level together, and I respect both of you.
🏁Bellaron CF: Greantee is a huge force in the drag community. And for her to be humble about it...could never be me! I'd be shouting from the rooftops with my #TeamBellaron shirts.
Summer: Let's keep it drag with this calendar. I think highlighting certain queens could work to our advantage, since that would be what you see with a typical calendar.
Greantee: Can I do Kelly Mantle? I...worship her.
Bellaron: Oh?
Greantee: I can list all of her acting credits, and I'll happily do so.
🏁Greantee CF: It's called diva worship, get into it.
Summer: If we're all good with this plan, let's rock it out!
🏁Summer CF: Taking more of a leadership position is something I'm comfortable with. If our team excels here, I want to be the one to stand up and say that I brought us here. Maybe it's a risk, but it's what feels right.
Blu's team talks by the couches
Nicole: I'm honed in on winning this week. I don't want to accept anything else.
Blu: I don't know what to do with this challenge, I'll keep it real.
Nicole: Hmm okay, just follow my lead. Blondie, you good?
Blondie: I'm so drained from everything that happened earlier, I'm sorry.
🏁Nicole CF: This is the worst case scenario for me. These two are not in the right mindset, but they're also close friends. If we end up in the bottom together, they could definitely throw me under the bus to save each other.
Nicole: Based on past seasons, Micro likes humor that doesn't take itself too seriously. We need to lean into that.
Blondie: Works for me.
Blu: Yep.
Nicole: Love the enthusiasm!
Wren's team gathers around a table with a box of filming equipment
Wren: This is our week to dig our nails in and leave a mark. Let's do the most.
Layla: What's with the camera equipment.
Wren: I thought we could maybe do a little advertisement video for our calendar.
Alex: Anything that pushes us to the next level.
Layla: I'm just worried about that being seen as a waste of time.
Wren: Look at me in my eyes. I promise you, we will get it done. I will drink enough caffeine to stay up all night and make sure we deliver the best of the best. Please just trust me here.
Layla: Let's go for it, why not.
Wren: Whew, yay!
🏁Layla CF: I don't know if this will pay off for us. We could have all the bells and whistles in the world, but if we don't have the bare essentials, we'll get thrown into the bottom.
Alex: Let's get this set up and start with some storyboards.
🏁Alex CF: One thing that Wren and I bond over is that neither of us are afraid to go the extra mile. If that's what it takes to bring us to the top, we'll do it. This is made for us.
Slerna and her team sit on the floor as they sketch out concepts
Slerna: We have the summer months, so I think our challenge will be making sure they don't blend together. I mean, what even is August if not July's uglier sister?
Sheba: I'm wanting to do my page based around the emptiness that summer can have. When you have nothing to do, so you just do anything that sounds mildly intriguing.
Slerna: I was gonna do like...the dangers of factory work.
Zodya: ...as a calendar page?
Slerna: Look at that reaction. You can't say you weren't intrigued.
Zodya: That's one word for it!
🏁Zodya CF: Slerna is this source of endless creativity. Being with her on a team becomes a challenge of how to utilize that, without losing control and falling into insanity. But if we can strike a balance, we're golden.
Sheba: I need to go run and grab something, I'll be back.
Slerna: Don't take too long, we have to head to the runway soon.
Sheba: I'll be good.
🏁Slerna CF: Sheba gets up and leaves. We don't have that much time left, and I'm starting to worry. If she doesn't come back in time, she might take Zodya and I down with her.
Runway
the lights flicker and a purple light floods the runway as Micro struts down the center
Micro Episode 2 Look
Micro: Welcome to the runway of Micro's Drag Race! Joining me tonight, we have the lipsync assassin herself, May I. Havanother!
May I. Guest Judging Look
Micro: May, how have you been?
May: Is this the part where you put me behind a bingo wheel to pick songs?
Micro: Not this time, but we can arrange that!
May: Absolutely not. Never again.
Micro: What is your fondest memory of the branding challenge on Season Three?
May: I'd have to say something along the lines of everyone saying I deserved to go home and then winning. That's tough to beat!
Micro: I still can't believe we didn't get the Emmy for that...yeah. Anywho! For this challenge, the queens were split into four groups of three, and had to design their very own pages for the MDR 2023 calendar! But first, on the runway, category is "Wacky and Weird", a look highlighting exaggerated and unusual proportions. Let's go!
"Bad Juju" by Jujubee plays
Alex: I had an original idea for this runway, but as I was editing the picture I realized it flopped hard. So I came up with this look instead. The silhouette is quite simple by the materials of the outfit are all metal and car engine based with exhaust pipes, gears, car doors, broken glass, and billboards. If that isn’t a weird enough source of materials, idk what are. My concept idea is a mechanical Angel of death.
Alex Runway
Bellaron: Tonight I'm channeling all the quirkiness I have whilst keeping it cute and couture! I am the Fairy Goddess of this season and I'll be casting a spell on Micro to give me the win! This is over the top and so is Bellaron so I think it's a perfect category for me! Now watch out, because this bitch is about to fly up up and away!
Bellaron Runway
Blondie: Tonight I wanted to give a large performance and celebrate the better times of the Renaissance era! Back when the white- I mean, RIGHT people had power~ I am wearing my overexaggerated hat with lots of roses and flowers, this, and I'm still counting, 9-layer gown! It's completely bedazzled and ruffled completely to create my perfect silhouette! It's making me look tiny and petite in the face like real women should look! I even did a classic powder face and ginger hair to match the aesthetic of this era. How whimsical & wacky indeed!
Blondie Runway
Blu: Not gonna lie, this runway is not my forté whatsoever... but that doesn't mean I won't give it a shot! For this runway I decided to go for "alien birth but make it glam". The "wacky" parts are this blooming flower gown silhouette I'm birthing from, the vaporwave colors, and the multiple different materials my designer used that normally clash together, but they all work perfectly in this look! And if this isn't wacky and weird enough... sue me.
Blu Runway
Greantee: greantee steps onto the stage in her wacky and weird ensemble, shaking her head so the bells on her hat jingle for the judges
Greantee: This week i'm serving wacky and weird prints and proportions with this whimsical lavender fantasy! she's a little jester elf whose outfit has been taken over by these silly little guys!
as greantee hops and bops on the runway, she spins around and the arms of the guy around her hips whirl in the air
Greantee: My friends gerald, benry, rhan-tegoth the bringer of suffering, and sam are all here with me to slay and serve on the runway!
greantee heads back to the runway entrance and before leaving, takes benry's dangling hand and waves it to the judges
Greantee Runway
Layla: This look is based on the amazing, strong Queen Elizabeth I & the other strong queens of England. The wacky proportion is the bottom part of the dress, but I can still walk with it bitch. This look is glamour and I love love love it and I hope Micro loves it too.
Layla Runway
Nicole: For this look I chose to do a club kid inspired outfit that gives you alien, technology and aesthetic vibes. It's super avant garde and it's not up my alley but it's good to take a risk sometimes y'know! I'm serving you big, bold and crazy with my sky high boots hunny, fierceeeeee!
Nicole Runway
Sheba: as the lights flash the entrance and the music kicks in...it is revealed that nobody is standing on the runay
Slerna: This week, I wanted to really take this runway to another level. I tried last week but it didn't end well, so this week I hope it does! For my wacky proportions, her arms much longer than normal. Not extremely obvious, but enough to make you uncomfortable. She's filthy, and a little bit gross, and is really playing the role of alien. She's slimy from head to toe with lots of puss filled pimples. As she walks the runway, she makes hard, forceful steps. About halfway down, her left tit starts to drip drop, revealing 3 worms!!! Ew!! Her right eye (it is fake), also falls out of her head, and another worm pops out of there. She plays with her little eyeball, and as she tries to lift up her left tit, her nipple falls off!! Oh fuck it. Snack time! She pops it in her mouth and carries on down the runway. Ewwww!
Slerna Runway
Summer: I decided to utilise translucent materials and create this jellyfish eleganza. It's glowing with LEDs and I'm feeling my true alien fantasy.
Summer Runway
Wren: This runway is just a reflection of me being tired. Being trans is honestly fucking exhausting, I'm so tired of being their devil or their scapegoat- their secret little fetish, someone who they'll get off to but who they won't respect as a basic human being. I have alot of internalized transphobia I have and have been dealing with, sometimes you wake up in the morning feeling like frankenstein's monster, or like an abomination. Unlearning is a process and one that is difficult to begin. Yet even after all of this, all of it, I still have it better than most other trans people. This runway gave me the chance to vent a little bit of anger and frustration that I have. Trans is beautiful, even if it doesn't always feel like that.
Wren Runway
Zodya: For my runway this week, I am showing off all the curves and swerves in my Yimeng Yu-inspired! My garment is so curvy and layered so intricately that it almost looks alien!
Zodya Runway

January, February, March
Team Wren (Wren, Alex, Layla), (April, May, June)
https://youtu.be/WMoYBGdZU0o
April 4th: Omegaphobia Awareness Day, from being discriminated in the workplace to being the subject of ridicule at school, Omegas never seem to be able to catch a break in modern society. That's why we have this nationally recognized holiday to bring awareness to the issue. Traditions for this day include posting an infographic on instagram or starting a debate on twitter without actually doing fuck-all. April 17th: National Cupcakke Day, we celebrate a national treasure and hero, someone who has sacrificed so much for so little in return. Toda, we thank Elizabeth "Cupcakke" Eden Harris for her service to not only this country, but her service to the world. No wars have been fought since the release of CPR (don't fact-check that), and our bringer of world peace deserves the absolute world. Traditions for this day include fucking up in every zipcode and making my pussy wetter than a fishbowl
April 21st: Mpreg Appreciate Day, today we recognize all the beautiful souls who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Carrying a fetus between the booty-cheeks . Childbirth is a beautiful thing and too often do our humble, fertile, breedable omegas go underlooked. Traditions include taking your local omega to panda express and taking your local omega to a musical.
April 26th-29th: Omeganukkah, our world is beautiful and has so many different types of people in it and by so many, I mean three. Alphas, Betas, and Omegas. Omeganukkah is the festival of lights, comprising a total of 4 nights, Omeganukkah dedicates one day to each of the 3 classifications (except Alphas who get two nights because they're just that Alpha). Traditions include the lighting of the traditional pheromonal candles, which are sure to set any nearby Omegas into heat and eating an aggressive amount of sauerkraut.
National Self Care Day- Every second Sunday of every May, is National Self Care Day. A day where we expose fake friends and take our sugar pills to forget our problematic pasts. It’s a day of remembrance of the social media scandal between Tati Westbrook and [email protected] [email protected].
Transracial Day - On May 16th, we use our very magical skincare products to make us black! This is one of our most loved holidays, cause we love black people! #BLACK LIVES MATTER
Pretty Predator Day - On the 25th of may, Micro's bestest friend, James Charles didn't come to play. But he came to prey on minors, Watch out for the world's scurriest myth.
Straight Pride “stay in the closet queers” Day- On June 8th, it’s a day for all straights to embrace their identity and silence the marginalized voices of non straights. Its a day to do all of your favorite straight activities like cheat on your wife, like our proud celebrity sponsor Adam Levine or former Try guy Ned Fulmer! It’s a great day to be not gay!
National Super Straight Remembrance Day- This day is dedicated to the real heroes of the straight community, the super straights. They promote our purest form of love between two CIS people (man and woman only of course). This day is celebrated every 3rd Sunday, where their “preferences” are applauded and praised.
International Cargo Shorts Day- On the 28th of Homophobic June is day solely dedicated to Cargo Shorts. The epitome of straight fashion, the most versatile of mens wear. So many pockets to be filled with the many mini bibles you pass out on the road to speeding by cars. Or they can be filled with all the loose one dollar bills you just got from that atm to tip the strippers while your wife thinks you’re working late. Whoever you celebrate this international holiday, just know this month is for you as it comes to an end.

October, November, December
Critiques
Micro: Thank you queens! It's time for your critiques. First up, Team Greantee.
May: You three made some great calendar pages, and I love how cohesive they look, despite having wildly different themes. Summer, your page was ✨️absolutely✨️iconic, and of course I live for the trans rights. My one critique for you is that I would've wanted to see more pictures on the actual dates rather than just blocks of text, but apart from that it's a really strong showing. Grean, your page singlehandedly made me a devoted Kelly Mantle stan. The 1s being Kelly herself, making all of the holidays about Kelly, and the random Tammie Brown day took me OUT! Kelly Mantle is mother but you are too. And Belladonna, your psychedelic Willow picture was definitely the highlight of your page. You had a good balance of pictures/holidays, and I loved how you made it look like someone had written on the calendar - they'll definitely remember to take their wiwwow piww! Overall, you three did a great job and you should be proud of yourselves!
Micro: This team has some heavy hitters on it and it really did show. There were a lot of great jokes, especially with January and February. I cannot even tell you how much I appreciate having four days to appreciate Kelly Mantle. Could you have gone for five? Yes, and you really should have because she deserves it. The formatting and layout of these pages was also some of the best of the night. With these runways, you all turned it out. Bellaron, you look like a whimsical fairy and it gives me life. Grean, this is flawless. It combines the wacky and weird with the exaggerated proportions better than anyone else tonight in my opinion. And Summer, I thought you looked so captivating, but maybe not totally delivering the theme.
Micro: Next up, Team Wren!
May: You absolutely MOTHERED this challenge. The thing I loved most is the coherent (yet absurd) theme; it was very clear that you worked together on all three months, rather than just assigning each queen a month and working on the pages individually. And on top of that, the complete ridiculousness of your pages had me SO entertained. While I'm not sure who exactly did what, Wren, you were the standout of your group this week. The video was the cherry on top of a great submission, and your runway was by far my favorite of the week - I fully understand the rage and exhaustion behind your look, and the message you delivered was one that needed to be said. WONDERFUL job this week!
Micro: Okay so, hmm. Where do I begin. First, I'll say that anything extra added, will be seen as an enhancement, not as automatic extra points. With that being said, you all crushed it. Each month had a clear perspective and they were executed well. The video made me pee a little I think but even if we ignored that, your pages stand on their own. It was risk taking and it paid off. On the runway, we have a lot to discuss! Alex, this is a really great look for you. Last week, I asked you to up the dragginess and that's what you did. Don't you love when following critiques pays off? What a concept! I adore this look. Layla, I'm not a huge fan of this look tonight. I think it toes the line on the theme but also has just been so overdone at this point with the royal Marie Antoinette look. It's cute, but you can do more. Wren. I was so scared for this look when you first said the concept. But you did it, you made it work. It was a strong message and that's a cornerstone of drag. I wish there was some jewelry but I thought it was a strong look.
Micro: Team Slerna!
May: I do want to start out by saying that all three of you put so much effort into your portion of the calendar. July, which I can only assume was done by miss Sheba, is amazing with all of the various events; I was laughing the entire time! August, which I assume was done by Slerna, was also amazing with how you illustrated each of the holidays. And as an avid Earth Wind and Fire fan, I'm so happy with whoever decided to take the 21st night of September and stretch it out into an entire month's theme! I will say that my issue is with the cohesion, or lack of thereof. Each individual page is great, but it seems like you picked three random calendars and Frankensteined them together. Even if you had just gone with a similar color scheme or typeface across all three months, it would've made it loads better.
Micro: Let's address the elephant in the room, and not the fact that I put on 5-25 pounds last year. Sheba isn't here tonight, which is quite unfortunate! But I'll judge what you do have. I thought these calendar pages were incredibly strong. There isn't a unifying theme between them but I also don't think there needed to be one? They were all well made, and visually striking. My favorite would have to be August I think! With the runways, I think Sheba looks amazing. The minimalist approach is just so avant garde and high fashion. Slerna, so much of your drag makes no sense to me and I adore that. You are off in your own world and you do it flawlessly. Zodya, this is like a piece of art. I wish there were some styling changes with the hair and jewelry but I love it. Overall, strong night for you all.
Micro: Last but not least, Team Blu!
May: I hate to say it, but I do think your portion of the calendar was the weakest in my opinion. I don't know if this was the intent, but all three pages just seemed rushed, and the fact that November was the only month with any sort of date indicators didn't exactly make it much better - how would I know when I can celebrate Sasha Colby week trans icon week when I don't know when it is? And December? I mean this in the nicest way possible, but that's not a calendar page, that's a gallery of Donatella Versace and various other blonde icons. On that note, November was definitely the strongest for me, and I liked how you included a writeup of what each day was rather than just trying to squeeze it into the calendar date itself. Even if it wasn't my favorite overall, I did also like how all of your holidays had some common turkey religion theme to them, which was reflected in the writeup. So yeah, tonight definitely wasn't your best showing, but I look forward to seeing how you improve over the season; all three of you have massive potential.
Micro: I think you had some strong moments during this challenge. The Tamisha joke, the chaos of November, and the Donatella calendar that snuck in pictures of not Donatella, I was laughing! I do think though that the concepts could've been more well developed. Bringing in holidays or more structure to the images, things like that. On the runway, I thought you all looked great. Blondie, this is high drag and exactly what I've come to expect from you. Blu, I think this is a strong look and I love the colors, but it maybe could be more exaggerated with the proportions. And then Nicole, I think this is a solid look. It fits the brief, but I do think you could've pushed even more. Also, I do need to acknowledge that Blondie, you had a little struggle getting this all done.
Micro: Thank you queens. While you untuck backstage, May and I will deliberate.
Untucked
the queens all enter Untucked
🏁Wren CF: Walking into Untucked this time feels so different than the last challenge. I was hoping for a challenge like this where I could let my creativity flow through, and I'm so happy with what we were able to do!
Wren: Cheers ladies, we made it through another challenge!
Bellaron: I'm still not totally sure on what that challenge was, but we did it.
Layla: It was giving free labor, very that. Micro needed some new merch!
Greantee: Since we all got critiques, does anyone feel like they were able to get some insight on what Micro is wanting to see from them?
Zodya: That was what I wanted this week but I don't think that this was my best work tonight. I wanted to get critiques under different circumstances, you know?
Slerna: If this ends up judged in teams, who knows what might happen. Only two of us are here right now.
Sheba enters Untucked in jeans and a hoodie
Sheba: Hey!
Zodya: Where have you been?
Sheba: Oh I just had to run and do something, I figured I could make it in time.
Blu: We already did the runway...
Sheba: That's fine, it'll take me like twenty minutes to get into my look and then we can start back up.
🏁Summer CF: I don't think that Sheba sees what's happening here. It's not as lighthearted as she may see it. She let her team down, and none of us know how Micro will react to this. If I was Sheba, I'd start learning these words.
Micro enters Untucked and invites Sheba to step outside
Micro: Glad you're here, I was worried!
Sheba: Oh it's no big deal, I can just slip into my look really quick.
Micro: I hate to do this but it does put me in a bit of a weird spot. Since you didn't walk the runway with the other queens, I don't know how to fairly judge this.
Sheba: I told you, I can get into my look right now.
Micro: I get that. But it doesn't seem fair to the other queens to let that go without any consequences.
Sheba: It's just a look.
Micro: It's not though, it's a respect thing.
Sheba: So what do you want me to do with this.
Micro: I'm really sorry, but I think having you in the bottom is what would be the most fair. You can still fight for your spot here, and I really think you can make it to the end of this competition. This isn't the end.
Sheba: No.
Micro: Huh?
Sheba: If that's what we're doing, I'll walk out. I sacrificed a lot to come back here and compete again. I'm not letting you put me in the bottom, when what I worked on was far from the worst. I'm not starting off here with a bottom, I won't do it.
Micro: I can't just ignore it though.
Sheba: Judge it based on how I did in the challenge, because we both know I did well. And if I need to leave, I'll take the next flight.
Micro: Whew, okay. Look, I need to put my foot down here. I can not ignore this in the judging. I want you here, but I can't budge from my initial response.
Sheba: Really? You bring me back, and then do this?
Micro: Sheba, I'm sorry.
Sheba: What a joke, I'm done here.
Sheba walks back into Untucked and grabs her makeup kit
Sheba: Bye bitches!
Alex: What?!
Sheba: I'm not about to sit here and act like any of this is fair or right. Micro has lost her mind, and I'm not dealing with it anymore.
Bellaron: What happened?
Sheba: She wants to put me in the bottom for showing up a little late. I refuse.
Slerna: Please Sheba. Just take this, and bounce back next week.
Sheba: I'm telling you right now, my decision is final. I want to go home. And I swear to god, if I saw that bitch in the streets, I'd knock her out. This has been a complete waste of time.
Slerna: Please.
Zodya: Let her go Slerna, let her go.
🏁Layla CF: I think Sheba will regret this decision. But there's no reasoning with her right now. I don't know what this means for the future of the competition, but none of us can stop her. This all got way too out of hand.
the queens return to the runway
Micro: Welcome back queens. Now, that was not quite how I expected things to shake out. But based on your performances in the challenge and on the runway, I've made some decisions. When I call your name, please step forward.
Micro: Bellaron, Greantee, Layla, Nicole, Summer, Zodya. The six of you are safe.
🏁Zodya CF: After how crazy Untucked just got, I will take that safe! Everything has been flipped on its head, safety is one of the most important things we can have.
Micro: Wren Wyvern. Tonight, you saved the date. Congratulations, you are the winner of this challenge!
🏁Wren CF: Print the merch, get it ready, I did it!! I gave absolutely everything I had to this challenge, and it paid off.
Micro: Alex, Slerna. Great work this week, you are safe. The three of you can step to the back of the stage.
Micro: Blu. Your October calendar was scary, but not in the right ways.
Micro: Blondie. On the runway, you brought the extravagance. But the challenge was a bit of a miss.
Micro: Blu, you are safe. You may step to the back of the stage.
Blu runs over to Blondie and hugs her, before walking to the back
Micro: Blondie, I'm sorry but you are the bottom queen this week.
Alex and Wren glance at each other and smirk
🏁Blondie CF: I'm ready, let's go. But wait...who am I going against?!
Micro: Now, only one queen is up on this stage right now. Sheba has decided to leave the competition. And that means Blondie, this is your lucky night. You are safe, and can step to the back of the stage.
Blondie: Uh...oh wow. Thank you, I was not expecting this.
Micro: Before we move forward, I want to ask you all for one thing. If you don't want to be here, I will gladly point you to the door. I can see that most of you have the determination to stick it out to the end. If you aren't feeling that way, leave now.
the queens look around nervously at each other at the back of the stage
Summer: About that...
Layla: Summer, don't do this.
Summer: I've decided to stay in the competition.
Micro: Biiitch. When I tell you, I was about to get your ass if you walked out.
Summer: Someone needed to break the tension!
Micro: Thank you all for making this decision. With that being said, congratulations on making it to the next challenge. The competition is tight this season. Now, let the music play!
"Banjo" by Bebe Zahara Benet plays
Next Time on Micro's Drag Race
Micro: All you need is love, but all I need is a few million dollars worth of crypto sent to an offshore account!
Fleur: Cut the arrogance, it's not a good look.

Cast Shot w/ Placements

Sorry

They were blurs in the water. Lightning’s zeal easily took Jason to an early lead, as he treacherously reached for the flags that were now coming into view. He had to be careful, for he was dancing into Poseidonian territory again.
Seraphine was in hot pursuit thanks to Scott’s masterful steering. “You’re really good at this!” shed said, making the farm boy turn red. Seraphine saw the flags come up her way and prepare to take them.
“Look out, princess!” Scott made a sharp turn to protect Sera from the onslaught of tennis balls.
“Thanks! I should’ve been more careful, silly me!” She still managed to get the flags.
Chef gunned for them at random, picking off the ones whom he caught slacking.
“We’re hunting big game tonight! Demigods, heroes and the girl who probably fell into a septic tank!”
“That was me, Chef,” explained Lisa.
“IT’S MASTER CHIEF!”
Sasha and Brick were third, but they were getting everything, dodging balls and catching up on Jason and Seraphine.
“I’ve got a few clods in my pocket, Sera. Shall I throw ‘em?”
“Oh, gosh no, Scott! They could get hurt!”
Scott: She’s so sweet and pretty… WAIT, IS COURTNEY WATCHING THIS, I-
Mabel and Sam were dead last, but it didn’t really matter. They were having a blast. They treated the whole thing like a game, which annoyed Chef and only made him focus them more. They laughed in defiance.
“IS THAT ALL YOU GOT, MASTER CHIEF, I SPIT IN YOUR DIRECTION! P-teww!”
But Mabel did not have the last laugh. She never moved from the bottom and Jason raced to the finish line, all five flags in hand. Seraphine and Scott were in second. Brick and Sasha were third. Scott got hit by one last tennis ball and fell into the water. Seraphine immediately jumped in to help him, allowing Sasha and Brick to come in second.
“Omigosh, Scott, are you okay?! I know first aid, hold on…”
Lightning basked in their victory. “Sha-bam! Well, at least we knocked one girl into the water!”
“Is Scott gonna be okay?” asked Jason.
Brick scoffed. “He’ll be fine. That guy survived a shark mauling”
Seraphine began doing mouth-to-mouth.
“Miss girl, that is what you call saving dickhead by giving CPR!”
“You listen to Cupcakke?” asked Sam.
“Um, er, sha-ironically!”
Seraphine jumped to Scott’s defense. “And Scott is not a dickhead! I can see he’s a sweet guy, I think he’s just short on hugs and affection, that's all!”
Scott was revived, but was unable to form any coherent sentences as he was carted off to the sick bay. Seraphine waved goodbye as the campers gathered for the results.
“Alright, listen up! Jason, you’ve won this week’s challenge!”
The girls applauded at the demigod’s well-deserved win.
“For your reward, you will have the power to eliminate one camper from this island! All eleven of you, meet me at the fire after dinner!”
Dinner was abuzz with rumors as the other campers found out about the result. Darcy in particular was looking for ways to twist Jason’s win to her advantage. She didn’t have a complete hold on him, but she was hoping to convince him to eliminate Arthur or Gaara, the two biggest threats on the enemy team. Jason did not think this wise.
“We’ll Merge after this. I don’t want to use this win to make a power move. There’ll be a lot of flak from the other team, and the fans won’t see it as a good move. It’s time I made a decision based on my own principles”
Darcy: Oh good grief, the goody-two-shoes in him jumped out
Eleven campers gathered around the campfire. Jason stood up and prepared to announce his decision:
“Friends, campers, lend me your ears. I have been tasked to choose someone to go home this week. I have been advised to eliminate an enemy, or the strongest one in the competition, but I have my own firm beliefs about how this competition must play out”.
Mabel looked askance. “Why are you drooling?”
Lisa checked herself. “I love good oratory”
Jason continued. “I believe I must eliminate the one who least deserves to Merge, since this is the final challenge before the teams dissolve. Do note that I have seen all of you perform and give your all, so the least of us, in my opinion, is not really that far from-”
“JUST GET ON WITH IT, I HAVE TO USE THE BATHROOM!” said Barry.
“Can you please eliminate this whiny wimp?” asked Mabel. “He keeps snoring at night and it's vibrating through the cabin divider!”
“I feel very sad to do this, but the one I feel isn’t cut for the Merge is…”
Tensions rose.
Hands held each other.
“...Raymond”
The gasps Raymond expected never arrived. Instead, there was general nodding.
“Well, he does have a point,” said Darcy. “That cat barely survived the jump earlier”.
“Yeah, I kinda feel he sort of just floated through the competition until now,” said Sasha in rare agreement.
The topic of their conversation ran off into the Gophers Cabin.
“Ray, wait!” Barry had run off in suit, with Seraphine and Lisa following.
The cat had already packed up earlier that day. “I knew I was next on the chopping block,” he said between sobs. “I just didn’t think you would all be so… so… happy about it”
Seraphine tried to comfort him. “No, Rayray, we’re not happy about this! Don’t listen to Darcy, that’s just how she speaks about people, you know that!”
Seraphine: I REALLY didn’t expect that from Jason! It’s not like him! He’s always been more of an encouraging leader than that!
Jason: It was a difficult decision for me, but it would’ve been more in bad taste to eliminate a strong contender, or to play into whatever new scheme Darcy’s hatching. She’s next, by the way, I just need an opening…
The boat from New Horizon Island arrived, its delegation ready to escort Raymond home.
Isabelle gave him her warmest congratulations. “On behalf of our town, we congratulate you for making it this far! You’ve put us on the map, Raymond! More people have come to visit the island because they heard you live there!”
Raymond’s closest friends greeted him with a mix of fondness and snark.
“I kept telling you not to worry about the Merge, coz you’d get canceled first!” Reneigh let out a laugh as she hugged her friend.
“Wow, Raymond, you were so awesome at that paintball challenge!” said Sherb. “I would’ve been all panicky there, but you were just aiming that gun and taking them out!”
Apple beamed. “You were a real heartthrob out there, cheekers! My Twitter account’s been blowing up, coz my followers couldn’t get enough of you!”
Marshal was pressing a loot bag against everyone, ready to collect his prizes. “OK! He’s all settled down now! Now, I want my money! You all betted on him Merging! Well, except Reneigh…”
“Et tu, Marshal?” wept Raymond.
“Yeah, you were gonna go home one week or another, acting all smug. Only a true heartthrob like moi can get away with moves like that!”

The boat departed. Ten campers remained. The Merge was about to begin.
​
​
​
​
If this had been their OG counterparts, the Merge would be: Beth, Geoff, Heather, Trent, Lindsay, Ezekiel, Izzy, Cody, Bridgette and Tyler
The ten campers retired to the communal bathrooms as they were exhausted and dirty. Barry was the first to speak.
“I just have to say I feel so horrible that Raymond got the boot right before the Merge”
“Well, maybe you should’ve volunteered to leave instead of whining now,” butted Darcy. “Shouldn’t you be at the Galar Cup cheering Ash?”
Lisa spoke. “Guys, let’s not make this worse for us. I think the other three were gonna vote out Raymond anyway…”
“I was,” said Sasha. “It just felt… logical, y’know? Better the weakest link than booting a powerhouse. That would be cheap, and the fans would hate you for it, unless you were Darcy, then the fans would chalk it up to “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss” things”
“The bottom line is,” said Jason. “Raymond’s just as smart as the rest of us under the fuzz, and he would’ve just as soon thrown any of you under the bus to stay in the competition.
The mirror in the bathroom lit up.
The contestants gasped. As they stared at the mirror, the figures of the twelve eliminated campers stood in front of them.

Arthur: It’s the bloody Multiverse of Madness!
Lisa: Jaws. Dropped. All the twelve castoffs were staring at us. They look mad…
Gaara: I’m just surprised Bakugou hasn’t jumped through the mirror yet.
Baljeet: Bakugou glaring at us was an entire horror franchise in itself…
Darcy rolled her eyes. “Oh please, Chris. Drag Race references? Everyone knows this is just a TV screen behind the mirror and they’re not really here-”
Amethyst’s fist popped out of the mirror and right-hooked Darcy onto the floor.
Amethyst: Yeah, we’re not here, but guess what? MY BODY IS MADE OF LIGHT AND I CAN PUNCH YOUR WITCH BUTT ACROSS A TV SCREEN!
Raymond: Trust Doctor duGateau when he says this: You thought y’all skinned me and put me in a bag? It ain’t over just yet!
Hermione: It’s time to show them what we’re capable of
Jett: Second wind, guys! Like Sova says, let’s come alive!
Cyborg: Time to go on overdrive!
LSP: These lumps are ready for more ACTION!
Sans: I forgot there was a Wildcard, I don’t have any lines
Patrick: Hot wings
Chris landed on the outskirts of the Island on his jetpack. “Wow, what a reveal! Next week, we’ll be seeing our twelve evicted campers pair up and fight for two slots in the wildcard round at Playa de Los Losers. See you next week at “TDFI Aftermath, Part 1!”
