The Pit Stop: S9 E1 | Raja & Alaska | RuPaul’s Drag Race

[@filipekc]

So cute of them to pretend that they don't know the 14th queen is Cynthia lol

[@beetlelitist]

Filipe Alencar now that you say that it makes so much sense

[@salemallan20]

that CUCU xD iconic

[@filipekc]

salemallan20 IKR?! hahahah

[@Anthoberries]

Maybe they're trying to make it look so obviously like her so it will throw us all off? 😆

[@ItsJustTeddington]

I don't know about Cynthia's CUCU gimmick in S9. There's like 3 queens that out CUCU her by about a bajillion times.

[@itsFlycatcher]

Raja somehow always either looks like she's my rich, eccentric aunt who has a real ermine fur shrug gifted to her from her first husband that she never wears, chugs chardonnay straight out of the bottle, and slips me a hundred bucks every time I visit, or that one bohemian chick down the block who always has paint stains on her hands, always smells like weed, and always asks for a cigarette every time we meet even though every single time I tell her that I don't smoke. And there is no in-between.

[@glitteringdystop1a]

InvincibleRodent this is eerily accurate thank you for taking the time to type this out

[@viceb7]

Yaaas I love it

[@stablexit]

Reading this was a harder challenge than the ones in DR🙂

[@IntoBlackHouse]

"You don't want to rely on a prop when you enter the room" Raja wore a cyclops mask/hat on her entry Alaska used a horse mask on one entrance and an umbrella in the other

[@electraheart7745]

Clocked. I noticed it too

[@luistavares8428]

im glad you said that, thats exactly what i thought.

[@CrisAlieni]

Abc xyz it was a REVEAL!!! they dont throw the mask or umbrella first. it was so different.

[@luistavares8428]

"You don't want to rely on a crutch, when you walk into the room, its you" all three were gimmicks.

[@Missteree87]

Abc xyz Receipts!!!

[@cxg37]

"You don't wanna rely on a crutch, whatever it is. When you walk in that room, it's you." -Alaska Thunderfuck, who entered the workroom for the first time with a horse mask on.

[@rolando3250]

Clint Godwin holy shit! it was a mask?!????

[@ShunYamaue]

And with an umbrella covering her face the second time.

[@kikiam7850]

Cus snakes gotta peel something off u know. lmao jk 😂😂

[@tylerblue9829]

Hers makes sense because it was a "reveal" moment. ( She should've used it for her 2 in 1 look instead xD ) But seriously, Alaska was first seen on season 4 untucked.. which is where many of us fell in love with her. So to see her reappear like that was quite a delight for most of us. Plus the horse mask wasn't ugly as fuck like that puppet.

[@blaiseavey4090]

I LOVED Jame's Puppet

[@Adoribull1312]

alaska is finally showing the judges the versatility they've been looking for

[@Shucksofficial]

Alaska is giving me Russell Brand realness

[@tyrstocry3493]

Shucks I AM DECEASED 😂😂😂

[@Liusila]

Shucks Lol, for real!

[@quocanh150397]

U r so shady hâhha i love it

[@hexkramer8812]

is no one gonna say anything about how alaska is bRUNETTE

[@user-pp8yc3wu4r]

Rachel Kramer is no one gonna say anything about how alaska looks tERRIBLE

[@annabelleprice8708]

Kevin Bush I know right. I literally saw this and I was like THIS IS NOT THE ALASKA I KNOW. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT

[@hexkramer8812]

i actually kinda like it tbh

[@tyepennington1063]

Kevin Bush no ones going to say that because she looks sICKENING BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pen64]

Rachel Kramer She was dressed as Conchita Wurst. Who is brunette.

[@troymeetsboy]

Nina and Sasha really killed episode one. ❤️

[@CeeceeCyanide]

Went from binge rewatching your vids to this video only to see this Cx

[@chaeyoungie5514]

Aja's name was not mentioned this ENTIRE episode

[@nicholasloyal4039]

I just realized that. She was so hyped pre-Drag RAce

[@mariusbalan9]

and that is what !? Homophobic

[@ClarkKent-xu5wm]

I'm in love with Raja's voice. Has anybody noticed how beautifully rich it is?

[@VolumePerfection]

Conchita should really be a judge on Rupaul's drag race tho

[@Subli8217]

but she quit drag

[@VolumePerfection]

Subli she did??

[@pobstrel]

Subli She hasn't quit drag!

[@nashathegleek]

VolumePerfection no tom said that he might not continue with conchita for much longer, maybe one more album

[@VolumePerfection]

Natasha Brooker thanks. that is too bad. he would be a perfect guest judge

[@wackity.7879]

I WISH FARRAH HAD DONE THE TEAR AWAY AND WE GOT TO SEE THE OUTFIT ON UNTUCKED.

[@baileyedwards4530]

"I'm really excited for Kimora Blac" ooooo honey

[@user-sk2qo6lt2p]

Shade Kool Aid is the winner, eat it up and crown it.

[@Rainbownts]

Oh my rapal

[@melissa0.023]

David shade kool aid I'm

[@lamb2004]

this aged well.

[@hoelik]

I love Raja, she carries herself with so much poise but still is fun and relatable

[@Gayonetta5000]

Trixie and Bob have done it so much now that I forgot how much I LIVED when Raja was hosting the Pit Stop

[@mlocante]

"I think who really stood out for me was Sasha Velour. ..... Valentina, looking lovely....." (damn, mentioned the 2 stars in the first commentary on the season!)

[@Ornacia29]

The chemistry between these two is unstoppable!!!

[@agostinagarcia4190]

I think I'm the only one that loves this look on Alaska

[@jvlixn]

i want a raja & lasky social commentary talk show ASAP

[@dissysissy]

i want jasmine masters to come back bc she's a successful meme now

[@adamsnee6929]

dissysissy jasmine masters fucked up drag race season 9 😂😂

[@zolnsk3759]

dissysissy jasmine masters is a living meme

[@Panamaschild]

Lmao! That would be the gag!

[@druglover2243]

No.... Just no

[@TheBitTV]

After all the crap she's talked about the show now I don't think that's going to happen.

[@kidkytes6233]

Man it’s so weird to see how low-key the pit stop used to be.

[@Untouched77]

Alaska's laugh is the best

[@ehhdee]

It's Cynthia lee Fontaine, I see them bedazzled boots girl

[@hybr1dthe0ry_]

the Cucu Queen has returned!

[@prunellalefay]

Mc Qween Rumors,& boots say Yes. Shangela would be great though ,no one is expecting her.

[@tas6029]

My top 3 is Nina, Farrah and Sasha (almost like Raja) but I do want to see Shea, Aja and Valentina go far !

[@jvlixn]

Charlie is gonna win

[@tas6029]

I believe she can, it wouldn't surprise me. I like her, she's funny and adorable but she's not my favorite for now :)

[@Random_saturday]

Booger Boots this aged like milk

[@rowansuhre3501]

I want it to be Trinity K Bonet so bad

[@sunof117]

no

[@RK-ev6dw]

Rowan Suhre YES

[@sonerkamer2678]

Rowan Suhre that boy cut definitely is Cynthia Lee Fontaine, the cucu the accessoires, boots, hair and earrings were Cynthia's. Look up the Instagram post that is going around from her.

[@martinx9654]

I WISH it was Trinity K Bonet but she made it far enough/did well enough in season 6 to probably not come back :/ that wig definitely belongs to Miss Cucu. I'm still routing for Trinity to come back for Allstars tho

[@iTeacupPanda]

Ugh, really? I like Cynthia, she is okay . . . but I don't think she was anyone's first . . second . . fifth or sixth queen they would want to return.

[@hotradiogaga]

I love how they pretend to don't know that Cynthia is coming back 😂

[@myfriendisaac]

Need these two hosting more often 🔥 & this was my favorite Season Premiere!

[@Kiidomaru]

Bitch where's my toot or boot fashion photo ruview at ? 😂😂

[@kevinf7850]

TheTreyvon121 next Wednesday

[@marcolopez8506]

TheTreyvon121 Wednesday darling

[@adamchaplin9702]

and hopefully Raven will be back, and not the know-nothing that is Delta Work

[@daniela8415]

Where my people at

[@NitcheAM]

we still don't have it ;-;

[@johndogbe1428]

raja looks so good these days, like a real pro, some rupual level shit😎😎😎😎

[@sprinkledsugar]

I love Jaymes Mansfield. Her KZbin channel is really smart and funny. She has tutorials and educational videos about drag. I also love Nina for her creativity and Farrah for her beauty and apparent sweetness. Hope they all go far!

[@horihorizzzon777]

sprinkledsugar yesss 💗💗💗💗

[@gabeguzman4609]

That padding looked Cynthia Lee Fontaine 100%

[@kristinhammond5989]

I am absolutely LIVING for Alaska's beard. I can't accurately express how much I loved seeing a "beard" on Alaska, regardless of the fact that it was painted.

[@mimzilla8623]

I love these two! They are so organic and easy to watch!

[@chloew904]

Oh god I forgot about Eurekas hairline on her walk in girl

[@nicolespearl]

Jasmine masters is comin back y'all.... *my name is Jasmine masters and I don't have something to say; I came to slay*

[@pierbertone2957]

raja:"I don't want to see any of those queens come back". omg the shadeeeeeeeee

[@afjkarey5366]

is noone gonna talk about how the queens look so bad in HD? and what was wrong with michelle visages legs?

[@ismaelrodriguez4834]

Ok I agree most of them AJA *cough cough* but it allows the viewers to see how does have the make up abilities to look amazing , and shows does who do have a beat mug

[@aliendruglord]

not farrah she still looks perfect

[@Adoribull1312]

they didn't look bad? drag make up always looks cake-y up close and personal. the make up just isn't made for HD cameras, but there's no way around it really. well, unless you're farrah, then you always look flawless.

[@pobstrel]

afj karey HD isn't kind to lacefronts!

[@adamchaplin9702]

as we can see by that Bowie Gaga look shea (i think it was shea??) did, nothing against the queens but hd is not kind

[@bensadventuresonearth6126]

I think it's actually my favourite Alaska look ever!

[@allygator826]

Alaska love her 😂😂

[@wakingribbons]

I don't care who she is drawing her inspiration from. I am living for this look, Lasky!! You look amazing! I would love to see more queens wear facial hair. At least for an appearance or two. Gorgeous darling! Keep stunning them all! 😘😘💖💖💖

[@diamondseraphin9794]

Raja...your makeup 😍😍😍😍 No snappy one liners from me. It's just giving me life

[@PatrickShaunEmanus]

Valentina might've​ been doing drag for a short amount of time, but you can clearly see that she carefully prepared for her debut and has plenty of star quality.

[@orgxiii4ever]

The way alaska folds her legs when she sits is fascinating to me

[@yaliafriat4177]

mathu andersen looks so good here!

[@dustriod5493]

I hope Gaga comes back

[@DamienHurts]

I smoked a bunch of weed before i watched this and it was so chill watching this. I felt like everything was in slow motion. It was so fun. Thanks for hanging with me Raja and Alaska

[@keshainmycasa3988]

The episode, then untucked, then the pit stop, then fashion photo ruview in that order XD, a well spent 2 hours I'd say.

[@lilkitty2178]

First episode and I already don't like Eureka. I was really excited to see her on drag race, and then really disappointed when I saw how she actually portrays herself. Always using everyone's weaknesses against them. She won't be crowned queen, I know that much for sure. Too hateful for that role. Disappointed :/

[@millsykooksy4863]

Lil Kitty I LOOOOOVE Eureka

[@KaymenSOS]

Lil Kitty I love a good b!tch a villain is always needed BUT she just potrays herself as a ugly person.

[@reginageorge6619]

Lil Kitty Trinity?! Is that you?

[@dakotawhitehead3659]

Also being from the Johnson City/Asheville area I know you have to be like that. It's extremely cut throat here. There is way too many queens for the amount of venues here, with in a three hour hour radius of where Eureka is from there's two clubs, and a sort of a cabaret style bar . You have to know how to play other queens down and make yourself look superior so you can actually get booked. Pretty much the only queens that you're nice too here is your mother and your daughter/daughters. It's very "family" oriented here. Eureka actually has multiple drag daughters.

[@lastand09]

Being mean to other queens doesn't get you booked. It's the promoter that books you, not the other queens.

[@wafihabib]

Why is everyone underestimating Nina???

[@DuhhhItsLandyQ]

dont mind them they know she goes far to the top 3/4 they just downplay it... they know all the tea who's in the top they just want to act like they dont know shit. Shea, Nina, Sasha, eureka and peppermint is the top 5.

[@jvlixn]

bc she's osama bin laden incarnate

[@electraheart7745]

because they dun fucked up drag (I really don't know)

[@iTeacupPanda]

They underestimated ChiChi Devayne too. Jinkx Monsoon before her.

[@noname-se6wm]

is that really the top 5?:(

[@Delunasional]

THIS (!!!) is how you do a pit stop. & conchita was looking good today ma'am. i'm excited to see more. & also i'm in luv with farrah.

[@Crunch-N-Munch]

I love that the name of the pageant was the same phrase that katya started her all stars speech with

[@MrDaftpunk789]

QUIT SLEEPING ON MY GIRL NINA BONINA BANANA FOFANA OSAMA BIN LADEN ON SEASON 9 BROWN

[@nelliethesleepingbeauty]

Alaska is serving #Eurovision-Winner-Realness! You go Conchita 2.0!

[@ohhoneeey6674]

How is no one talking about how Alaska is doing bearded drag here?! I LOVE IT

[@meltingmischief8575]

I just discovered Raja and I love her so much!

[@malefecent]

LOVE Raja's look in this video

[@Inkthroat]

We all know that the 14th queen....judging by the back.....has to be.... MIMI IMFURST😂😂😂😂

[@luissaavedra9850]

smh jaymes can never get a break!!! shes such a good queen with so much to offer!!!

[@jstone7365]

Gaga being on Drag Race was a dream come true.

[@marienneschwinghammer8175]

Raja is so mature and sophisticated and wise and eloquent she could be a first lady

[@brockachoo]

I looooved this, can't wait for next week :D

[@bbydllgothic99]

Honestly I don't mind Alaska's beard! Love love LOVE it!!

[@richardmarciano7363]

can we talk abt alaska said tht mansfield being robbed by the puppet on her entrance. i mean she used a horse mask on s5 entrance and an umbrella on sll stars 2 😂😂

[@artemislunanettybecker8641]

"Your drag is like STDs ya never know which one you're gonna get." my first thought was, "Why ruin a very famous Forrest Gump line? Keep the box of chocolates."

[@mykioto]

Guys make it longer please!

[@effeminancy]

"i don't wanna see any of these back" LMAO

[@FlippyingOut]

Raja is so good at these, got them broadcasters talents

[@karlt134]

Full voice crack moment!

[@boubker6271]

I LOVE and I LOVE and I LOVE RUPAUL DRAG RACE SEASON 9 SO MUCH

[@DaniellaSplanks]

Raja's top three is the top three I've been predicting for weeks yesssss

[@temosarishvili5440]

I love how they pretend like they don't already know it's Cynthia lol

[@MrFries4slayer]

I love this grey on Alaska

[@cap4life1]

MY TWO FAVE QUEENS

[@jennifermcbroom5498]

I think it's funny that both Raja and Alaska made their entrances on their seasons with something covering their face.

[@tashthemash]

I cant remember but I think in an interview farra said she did have a tareaway but the producers told her not to because it was period themed or something I think ?

[@icyblu88]

Cynthia Lee Fontaine returns back for season 9! 😉 100% sure

[@indranibiswas9561]

what's the name of the background music??? living for it!! artist too

[@KrisRyanStallard]

Raja needs her own talk show outside of this!

[@diego192001]

not even one Aja comment, like wtf, her entrance was STUN

[@morganparsons7443]

Going to need a Wendy Williams shoe cam for Alaska and Raja!😍

[@MsSovereignJoy]

Love Raja's outfit 😍

[@TinaMoranxo]

Everytime she say Hiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee! !😂

[@wombatperson5431]

Personally I'm not a huge lady gaga fan but I can't deny the power she has had on advocating for lgbt communities. I'm actually really happy for the queens to meet her, I understand eurekas reaction. Its really powerful.

[@Erik_Emer]

Only Europeans will understand this: Alaska looks like Conchita in this.

[@drinkallthesunshine]

That hairline on Eureka tho...

[@user-pp8yc3wu4r]

we all know it's cynthia. the fact that y'all didn't mention it, validates it even more.

[@sutenTaHotep]

Raja knows how to pick a Winner❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Alex-px7db]

I love every queen this year

[@ConfuzzledTomato]

So is raven Nostradamus or what she predicted Shae coule and Sasha doing well

[@judithsusansheindlin2780]

"You don't want to be relying on a crutch" yet both of Alaska's entrance looks has her face covered for a reveal... as did Raja??? 🐍🐍🐍🐍

[@paschipaschipaschi]

the fact that they knew of Conchita Wurst gives me hope for humanity! ❤️

[@benjjameen]

My dream top five (also maybe realistic?) - Nina, Sasha, Valentina, Shea and Farrah (With Aja in 6th and Peppermint in 7th(?))

[@lisacov9914]

Okay, but Alaska is looking gorgeous!!

[@donovidsekulits5767]

5:19 Mo Heart would like a word “Brown Cow Stunning”

[@sopraltenass13]

What if Cynthia is just there as the Miss Congeniality from her season to introduce the returning queen?

[@scarves4evanoregano]

Omg, look everybody, it's the Third Queen!

[@ellenlewis8177]

I can't believe Raja got the matchmaker from Mulan to come onto the show

[@xanthar8697]

Raja acting like she don't know who the 14th queen is 😂

[@sp1t0nu]

Haha i bet they know that returning queen is Cyntia lee fontain:))

[@legnakoorbloh3970]

Johnny Døpe you know they know this shows already over
