Tears, CD-selling, more tears and smiles, and then some unprecedented hugging!!! This week’s Drag U students took their weekly “Therapy Sessions” to a new level!
Last night on RuPaul’s Drag U there was drama like never before. Yes, there were the usual tears, struggles toward self-empowerment, inner doubts to conquer and hellacious heels and wigs… But we also saw Betsy, a wounded soul who rose to the challenge, gathered her strength and faced the music so she could “DANCE FOR HER LIFE!!!!” (What? I’m not being dramatic. It happened.)
Also… Rachael learned how to rise above her sadness! And then came Deena, who was a glowing and fabulous young woman, who got so swept up in her emotions and excitement she practically vaulted over the desk into Headmaster RuPaul’s arms!
And then later, in the middle of “Draguation,” Deena bolted offstage, and we saw a Drag U moment like never before. RuPaul had to charge backstge, curse and fuss and let Deena have it, so she’d gather her resolve to finish her performance! It was epic!!! I cried. And I’m starting an Oscar campaign!!!
Anyway, watch the students bare their souls and get sold a CD in the process. Kleenex, please!

After the jump, watch Rachael’s confidence bloom, and watch Deena physically accost RuPaul (in an entirely appropriate way)!
