Drag Superstar Episode 1: Dollar Store Drag
[The queens enter the workroom]
David/Valerie: [in a confessional] My name is Valerie Galloway and I'm from the House of Galloway. I’ve been doing drag since before some of these queens learned to tie their shoes. I took some time off while my kids were younger, but it didn’t slow me down. I’m like wine, I get better with age!
Michael B./Jacqueline: [screaming] That’s my sister!
David/Valerie: [hugging Jacqueline] I knew you weren’t going on a cruise!
Michael B./Jacqueline: I’m so happy to see you here! It’s just too bad I’m gonna have to send you home. No, I’m just joking. Watch your back, though! [laughs]
David/Valerie: [in a confessional] I’m so excited that my drag sister Jacqueline is here! The only thing better than one Galloway is two Galloways!
Diamond: [enters the work room and greets the queens out of drag] Well, hellooooooooooo my queens! Welcome to Drag Superstar. You’ve all been chosen because you have something special that sets you apart from the rest. It’s your time to show the world what you’ve got–but only one of you will earn the title of Drag Superstar.
Every week you will be given a challenge that demonstrates skills a drag queen needs to achieve success. You will be judged on the main stage where I will decide who met the criteria the best. Whoever does the worst will be sent home.
Your first challenge is to create a futuristic runway look using items from the dollar store. Stars, start shining!
[Diamond leaves and the queens change out of their drag looks and into their everyday looks. They get to work on their outfits for the challenge]
Darren/Velvet: Who here knows how to sew?
David/Valerie: I know my way around a sewing machine.
Michael D./Lady Astrid: I have experience with costuming from my theater background.
Kyle/Kylee: I’ve never used a sewing machine.
[Everyone gasps]
Michael B./Jacqueline: How do you make it on to this show without knowing how to sew?
Bridget/Vapore: At least tell me you can use a glue gun!
Kyle/Kylee: I don’t need to sew, I just buy my clothes.
Eva/Vixen: Well, someone has to go home first!
[The queens complete their looks and are ready to present them on the main stage for judging.]
Diamond: Thank you, queens! It's time to hear from the judges. Penny, a penny for your thoughts?
Penny: Everyone looks wonderful! Lady Astrid, your look is my favorite! The garment is constructed beautifully and the glittery beard is the perfect finishing touch.
Izzy: I agree about the garment, but I don't get the beard at all!
Diego: I'm with Penny on this one--I love how you played with gender here. If we're critiquing, I'd say Kylee's look is pretty but she's just not giving at the level of the other queens.
Diamond: Thank you, judges. Based on your futuristic looks, I've made some decisions. Darla, Jacqueline, Valerie, Vapore, Velvet, and Vixen, you are all safe to shine another day.
Lady Astrid, you are the winner of this week's challenge!
Kylee, I'm sorry, but it's not your time to shine. You will be leaving the competition tonight.

Drag Superstar Episode 4: The Haunting of Hell House on Haunted Hill
[The queens enter the workroom]
Bridget/Vapore: Congratulations to Velvet on winning the photoshoot challenge!
Darren/Velvet: With a face like this, it was inevitable!
Michael B./Jacqueline: Why couldn’t it have been you with the hurt ankle?
[Everyone laughs]
Michael D./Lady Astrid: Valerie, how are you feeling?
David/Valerie: I’m disappointed that I didn’t give the challenge my all.
Michael B./Jacqueline: That’s not the Valerie I know! You’ve gotta pick yourself up and do what you came here to do!
David/Valerie: [in a confessional] I came very close to going home last night. If I can’t keep my focus, I might not be so lucky next time.
Diamond: [entering the work room] Well, helloooooooo my queens! I know we’re all shocked by Vixen’s departure due to an injury, but the show goes on! Today you’ll be scaring up the drama in a horror feature called “The Haunting of Hell House on Haunted Hill.” I’ll be directing you on set, so be spooky and don’t forget to make me laugh!
[The queens are assigned their roles and begin rehearsing. Michael B. sees that David is struggling and takes him aside for a chat]
Michael B./Jacqueline: Okay, Valerie, what gives? It’s not like you to be so distracted.
David/Valerie: I know, I just can’t stop worrying about how things are going at home. I’m not used to being away from my kids and husband.
Michael B./Jacqueline: You’re such a good dad, though. I’m sure your kids will be fine without you.
David/Valerie: I wish I could be sure of that. [crying] It’s just hard being here and not knowing what’s going on.
David/Valerie: [in a confessional] My kids are good kids, but my son has been heading down the wrong path. [beginning to cry] You do the best you can for your kids, but sometimes it feels like your best isn’t enough.
[The queens get ready and head to the set for filming]
David/Valerie: [in character as Stacy] Now look at what you’ve done! You’ve awakened the–the…[breaking character] I’m sorry, I forgot my lines again.
Diamond: One more try and then we’ll have to move on.
David/Valerie: I’m sorry everyone. I’ll try to get it together.
Michael B./Jacqueline: You’ve got this!
[On the main stage, the final version of “The Haunting of Hell House on Haunted Hill” is shown]
Darren/Velvet: [in character as Beverly] Gee Stacy, having a costume party on the night a crazed serial killer is on the loose sure was a great idea!
David/Valerie: [in character as Stacy] You’re right, Beverly! And it’s even better that we’re having it in the haunted house my grandparents left me. I just hope that no one touches that cursed vase over there.
Bridget/Vapore: [in character as Maria] You mean this cursed vase? [reaches for the vase]
All: Maria, no!
David/Valerie: [in character as Stacy] Now look what you’ve done! You’ve awakened the evil spirit inside the vase! Michael B./Jacqueline: [in character as Didi] And look! Your grandfather's portrait turned into a scary but kind of sexy werewolf!
Bridget/Vapore: [in character as Maria] Oops!
Michael D./Lady Astrid: [in character as Brittany] Um, something’s coming this way! And it’s big!
[A large figure emerges from the shadows as everyone screams]
All: Yamachan???
Yamachan: [giggling] Yes, it’s me, Yamachan! I just stopped by to remind you all that my new movie Yamachan’s Big Adventure is heading to theaters soon! Don't miss it!
All: [laughing] Oh, Yamachan!
[The judges clap]
Diamond: Fantastic work! Judges, what did you think of “The Haunting of Hell House on Haunted Hill”?
Izzy: Everyone was so good that even I’m having a hard time finding fault with it!
Penny: You were all very funny, but Vapore really nailed her role!
Diego: This group is really the best of the best. I don’t envy Diamond having to decide who goes home tonight.
Diamond: We’re really going to have to get down to the wire with this. It’s going to come down to the finer details. I will say that even though it didn't show in the final cut, Valerie was having a hard time remembering her lines in rehearsal. Izzy: And wasn't she in the running for elimination last week? Penny: That's true, but I see a lot of potential in Valerie. I don't think it's her time to go yet.
Diego: Then who else do you think deserves to go home tonight?
Penny: I--I don't know.
I’ve made my decision. Vapore Lawave, you are the winner of this week’s challenge! Valerie Galloway, I’m sorry but it’s not your time to shine. You will be going home tonight.

Bridget/Vapore: I think congratulations are in order for Lady Astrid for winning the first challenge!
Michael B./Jacqueline: Now we know who we need to beat!
Michael D./Lady Astrid: [laughs] Good luck with that!
Diamond: [entering the work room] Well, helloooooooo my queens! You’ve all survived your first challenge–but don’t get too comfortable! The competition is only just beginning.

Darla, Vapore, and Vixen will be Group 2. Stars, start shining!
David/Valerie: [in a confessional] I’m feeling very confident about this challenge. Everyone in my group has some performance experience. I sing as part of my act, so I think I have a good chance of winning.
Darren/Velvet: Uh oh, looks like some trouble is brewing with the other group!
Michael D./Lady Astrid: They don't look very happy with Darla.
David/Valerie: I know she was nervous about this challenge. And hearing her rehearse I can understand why.
Diamond: Tonight on the main stage, our girl groups are giving it all they've got. First up, it’s Serendipity’s Offspring!
Michael B./Jacqueline: [singing] If you want to get with me
Michael D./Lady Astrid: [singing] You know where I’m gonna be

David/Valerie: [singing] Guess I’ll C U N Tartosa!
Diamond: Coming up next is No Boiz Allowed!

Bridget/Vapore: [singing] To get away from the rat race”
Elena/Darla: [singing off-key] “People say it’s soooOoO hermosa”
All: “Guess I’ll C U N Tartosa!”
Diamond: Now that both groups have performed, it’s time to hear from the judges! Penny, what did you think of Serendipity’s Offspring?
Penny: You were all fabulous! I loved the choreography and your voices were beautiful!”
Diamond: And what did we think of No Boiz Allowed? Izzy?
Izzy: Vixen and Vapore sounded great…Darla, just stick to looking pretty!
Diamond: Serenity’s Offspring, you’re all meant to be stars…but one of you is destined to be the winner of this challenge. The queen whose star is shining brightest tonight is Valerie Galloway!
Darla Harding, I'm sorry but it's not your time to shine. You will be leaving the competition tonight.

Drag Superstar Episode 3: Groundbreaking Florals
[The queens enter the workroom]
Michael D./Lady Astrid: [to Vixen] Is everything okay? You seem a bit sluggish today.
Eva/Vixen: I just overdid it in the girl group challenge. I’m sure I’ll be feeling better once I get going!
Darren/Velvet: Congratulations to Valerie on winning the challenge! It should’ve been me, though!
David/Valerie: You wish!
David/Valerie: [in a confessional] I was really excited to win the challenge last week, but reality of being away from home is starting to set in. I just hope I can keep focused on the task at hand.
Diamond: [entering the work room] Well, hellooooooo my queens and welcome to a new day of Drag Superstar! You’re getting closer and closer to the crown, but only one of you will make it all the way. This week everything is coming up roses! Each of you will have a photoshoot with the theme Groundbreaking Florals!
[The queens get ready and begin their photoshoots]
Michael B./Jacqueline: How did your shoot go?
David/Valerie: I don’t think I did very well.
Michael B./Jacqueline: What’s going on? You’ve seemed down all day.
David/Valerie: I’ve just been preoccupied. There was a lot of stuff going on at home when I left and I’m just worried.
Michael B./Jacqueline: I know it’s hard to be away from your family, but they would want you to do the best that you can.
David/Valerie: [in a confessional] It’s hard separating my work life from my home life sometimes. I didn’t stop being a father just because I came here. I just hope my photo is good enough to keep me here.
[On the main stage, the queens' photos are revealed]
Diamond: Excellent work, queens! It’s time to hear from the judges.
Diego: Lady Astrid is quickly becoming my favorite! Her look was astounding, and she really knows how to work the camera!
Penny: I agree, Lady Astrid looks phenomenal…but there’s something about Velvet that really captivated me tonight.
Diamond: Who do you think missed the mark tonight?
Diego: After last week, I was expecting more from Valerie. It just seemed like she was distracted.
Izzy: Diego’s right, but I don’t think Valerie was the worst tonight. Vixen could’ve brought more. The body was right, but her face seemed uncomfortable.
Vixen: It’s true, I wasn’t bringing my best. The truth is, I injured my ankle in the girl group challenge last week and the pain has been too much. I…I don’t think I can continue in this competition anymore. [Vixen begins to cry]
[Everyone gasps]
Diamond: I’m very sorry to hear that you’re leaving, but your health comes first. Vixen, it’s not your time to shine, but I wish you the best!
With that said, it’s time to announce the winner of this week’s challenge…Velvet Envy!

Drag Superstar: Meet the Queens!
A new cast of queens is ready to show the world what they've got on the upcoming season of Drag Superstar with host Diamond Adair. Joining Diamond on the judging panel this season are It Girl Penny Pizzazz, designer Izzy Fabulous, and art critic Diego Lobo. Diamond, a drag pioneer turned singer/actress/personality, has called this season's cast "the best we've seen so far." Let's get to know the future drag stars!
Lady Astrid (Michael Daniels, 28) by @sirianasims
(he/him, she/her in drag)
About my drag: "My theatre background has greatly inspired my fashion sense. I want my looks to tell a story, to inspire and move you. Sometimes people question why a trans man would want to do drag. I tell them that I like to push the boundaries of gender expression. And I look damn good doing it!"
Velvet Envy (Darren Moore, 32) by @sirianasims
(he/him, she/her in drag)
About my drag: "I started doing drag when an ex-boyfriend of mine took me to a drag show one night, and I've been hooked ever since! My looks are classic, glamorous, and timeless. I love to channel the old school starlets."
Jacqueline Galloway (Michael Barber, 41)
(he/him, she/her in drag)
About my drag: "I got my start in the House of Galloway and you can expect to see that Galloway polish in all my looks. Jacqueline is that girl who fits in anywhere--at the club, on the red carpet, she's serving where ever she is."
Valerie Galloway (David Owens-Haim, 42)
(he/him, she/her in drag)
About my drag: "I've been doing drag since the dark ages, so I have a lot of love for old school drag. I have 3 grown children and they helped me update my looks for the show. It turns out you can teach an old queen new tricks!"
Vapore LaWave (Bridget Judd, 25) by @invisiblequeen
(they/them)
About my drag: "My drag is experimental and fun! I don't like to do the same things that have been done a thousand times before. Drag should be about artistic expression."
Kylee Kouture (Kyle Lee, 22)
(he/him, she/her in drag)
About my drag: "It's all in the name--high fashion and sexy looks are my trademark. I'm from San My, baby! I can't help but be fashionable with a bit of an edge."
Vixen Van Buren (Eva Larson, 36)
(she/her)
About my drag: "I come from the burlesque scene, so you'll see that influence in my drag. I'm bringing a dark feminine energy that's scary and sultry all at the same time."
Darla Harding (Elena Gutierrez, 21)
(she/her)
About my drag: "I'm a huge fan of vintage fashion, especially from the 60s. I love bright colors and fun patterns. I've had people say that what I'm doing isn't really drag because I'm a cis woman. To me, it's about creating another persona--Elena and Darla are two very different people!"
