RuPaul says it every week: "If you're not watching Untucked, you're only getting half the story." She's right. The Emmy-nominated RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! captures the behind-the-scenes moments at RuPaul's Drag Race, as the contestants wait backstage for the judges to determine who's up for elimination.
Although the format of Untucked has varied over the different seasons, juicy drama and laugh-out-loud moments between the contestants are always guaranteed. With over a hundred episodes already produced, these are the Untucked scenes that are constantly replaying in the heads of every Drag Race fan.
10 Tamisha Iman Vs. Kandy Muse
During Season 13's Untucked, chaos erupted between Tamisha Iman and Kandy Muse. Tension was already brewing between the two, but sparks flew when Tamisha commented on Kandy acting arrogant. After a brief exchange of insults, the two queens seemed close to getting into a physical altercation.
What makes the drama between Tamisha and Kandy extra memorable is the memes that resulted after the episode aired. The scene even got turned into a dance track, which Tamisha performed for the Season 13 virtual reunion, helping the moment cement its place in the hall of fame.
9 Shangela Vs. Mimi Imfurst
The showdown between Shangela and Mimi Imfurst in Season 3, Episode 3 of Untucked is one of the most meme-worthy moments in all of Drag Race history.
When Mimi made the fateful mistake of accusing Shangela of having a sugar daddy, Shangela had no choice but to correct her fellow queen in an iconic monologue that many fans can recite: "I don't have a sugar daddy. I've never had a sugar daddy. If I wanted a sugar daddy, yes, I could probably go out and get one because I am what? Sickening!"
8 Miley Cyrus Going Undercover
It's always fun when the celebrity guest judges on RuPaul's Drag Race interact with the queens instead of being confined to the judge's panel. So when Miley Cyrus was one of the celebrity guest judges in Season 11, fans loved how she didn't hesitate to get into the mix with the drag queens.
Disguised as a male crew member, Miley snuck into the workroom to surprise the queens. Silky Nutmeg Ganache was so excited to see Miley that she picked her up off the ground and spun her around. Not every guest judge has the same level of enthusiasm for drag that Miley has, so it was a heartwarming and fabulous moment for the entire Drag Race fanbase.
7 Trinity K. Bonet Coming Out As HIV-Positive
Untucked has been home to plenty of wild moments but it's also a place for the queens to connect and share personal aspects of their lives. One of the most moving moments in the show's history came in Season 6 when Trinity K. Bonet spoke with her castmates about her HIV-positive status: "I have so many goals and aspirations that I want to conquer in my life, so I’m not going to let an obstacle get in the way. I wanted to come on this show, and I wanted to be that voice for people who are scared to speak out about that.”
This is an unforgettable moment because of the bravery that Trinity showed. By speaking candidly about her status, she inspired others and helped break down the stigma associated with HIV. She continues to share this impactful message on Season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.
6 Eureka Vs. The Vixen
During Untucked, the queens always dish about who's in the t0p and the bottom of a challenge. But in Season 10, that conversation sparked a heated war of words between The Vixen and Eureka. There was already some tension between the two queens before they sat down in Untucked, but it escalated when Eureka said to The Vixen, "I'm getting tired of hearing you talk."
A verbal war ensued with The Vixen shouting to her nemesis, "Go smoke your cigarette!" This altercation also set the stage for the drama that lingered throughout the rest of the season with The Vixen constantly trying to escape a "villain's edit" that the show is known to do with the more difficult queens.
5 Willam Vs. Phi Phi O'Hara
Willam and Phi Phi O'Hara are both powerhouse performers who aren't afraid to say what's on their minds. As a result, their clash in Season 4 ranks as one of the most memorable moments in the history of Untucked.
Due to the heat of the competition, Willam found herself in Phi Phi's crosshairs with insults exchanged by both queens. But it was Willam's nonchalant response to Phi Phi's aggression that makes this such a classic scene. "Your tone seems very pointed right now," Willam calmly quipped with a deadpan expression while fixing her hair. It's a moment that proves how the loudest person in the room doesn't always have the most impact, and the GIF of Willam's retort ranks as one of the more popular memes from the show.
4 Laganja Estranja Feeling Very Attacked
Laganja Estranja came into the competition during Season 6 death dropping onto the workroom floor and exclaiming, "Let's get sickening!" But by the eighth episode, her confidence had waned and the pressure of the competition, coupled with the shade being thrown by her Season 6 castmates, led to an epic meltdown that lives rent-free in every fans' head.
"I feel very attacked," Laganja famously shouted. The moment still lives on in Drag Race "herstory" through gifs and memes. If her shouting wasn't memorable enough, Laganja's huge pink afro wig makes her breakdown an unforgettable moment in the show's history.
3 Morgan McMichaels Vs. Mystique Summers
The first episode of Untucked immediately delivered one of the most explosive arguments the show has ever seen. Mystique Summers and Morgan McMichaels nearly came to blows while in drag, perfectly setting the stage for the high levels of drama that can occur during Untucked.
The conflict intensified when Morgan accused Mystique of talking badly about her behind her back. It didn't take long for things to erupt into a shouting match. Fingers were pointed. Insults were thrown. And Mystique famously had to remind Morgan (and the rest of the world) where she's from—Chicago.
2 Mimi Imfurst Vs. Everyone
The first season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is one of the most chaotic seasons of the show, and its first episode of Untucked lives up to that reputation. Among the many personalities in the "werk" room, two stood out: Mimi Imfurst, who found herself at odds with everyone due to her past behavior on the show, and Raven, who expressed her disgust that Mimi was recruited to compete with more polished and popular queens.
Despite the drama, Tammie Brown from Season 1 managed to steal the show with her random non-sequiturs like "C'mon Teletubby, teleport us to Mars" and "I'm acting!" There's so much going on in this scene that it's always laugh-out-loud funny no matter how many times the clip gets replayed.
1 Aja Vs. Valentina
In Season 9, when Drag Race moved from Logo to VH1, the network also picked up Untucked and brought it from YouTube to TV. It was a smart move for VH1 because Season 9's Untucked ended up having one of the most legendary moments in the show's history.
It all started after a round of critiques where Aja felt unfairly judged compared to her competitor Valentina. Aja let loose on Valentina, delivering an unforgettable rant with the sarcastic quip, "You're perfect, you're beautiful, you look like Linda Evangelista." The moment had a major grip over the Drag Race fanbase and got turned into an EDM song, which every fan knows that only the most iconic moments from the show get the remix treatment.
