• Michelle Visage - Judge : Is that bacon on your chest? What is it?

  RuPaul - Host : They're flower petals.

  Michelle Visage - Judge : I'm still getting bacon.

• RuPaul - Host : For the first time, we're not just having one premiere - we're having two. You are the first seven queens to arrive. This week, you'll be competing against each other and one of you will be going home. Next week it's part two, as seven new queens arrive. Because the only thing better than one big opening, is two big openings. This way, no one can get lost in the crowd.

• RuPaul - Host : We Interrupt this kiki to bring you a special bulletin. This season, the drag revolution will be televised, so don't adjust your sets, because this extravaganza is being broadcast in H.D.S. That's High Definition Shade. Mmm, hmm. We now return to our regularly scheduled competition, already in progress.

• RuPaul - Host : Baby, I think you better chug-a-lug some go-go juice real quick and make it happen.

• RuPaul - Host : Covergirl, put the face in your walk. Head to two, let your whole body talk. And, what?

• RuPaul - Host : G-G-G-Gia!

• RuPaul - Host : Gentlemen, start your engines, and may the best WOMAN win!

• RuPaul - Host : Now, sissy that walk!

• RuPaul - Host : Adore Delano, tell me about this outfit.

  Danny Noriega - Adore Delano : Well, um... I had a vision, like, if I was an 80's mermaid, who go her prom done by, like, Heatherette when they first started, didn't have a sewing machine. Just learning how to make something out of something.

• RuPaul - Host : Silence! I've made my decision. Bring back my squirrels.

• RuPaul - Host : Next up, BenDeLaCreme

  Michelle Visage - Judge : Did you sew this?

  Benjamin Putnam - BenDeLaCreme : I didn't. This is all just, uh, hot glue and desperation from head to toe. I wanted the craftsmanship to go with the Golden Girls theme and look like it was made by old arthritic hands.

  Santino Rice - Judge : It's couture. It's a concept. It's stunning.

• RuPaul - Host : Gia Gunn. You're safe. Laganza Estranga. You're safe. April Carrion. You're safe. BenDeLaCreme. You were serving cheesecake, and left us gagging for more. Condragulations, you're the winner of this week's challenge. You'll receive a custom jewel package from fierce drag jewelers. Kelly Mantle. You're runway look was a little Downton Shabby. I'm sorry, but you're up for elimination. Adore Delano. You're couture was a honey of a boo boo. vivacious. You're runway strut was pure vogue, but your outfit was vague. Vivacious... I'm sorry, my dear, but you're up for elimination. Adore, you are safe. You may join the other girls. Two queens stand before me. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination. The time has come for you to lip-synch, for your life. Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

• RuPaul - Host : Vivacious - shante, you stay.

  Osmond Vacious - Vivacious : Thank you, Ru.
