Camp Wannakiki (2018) s06e09 Episode Script

1
[cheerful music]
- Huh, so what's going on?
What should we do today?
- Um, don't we
have a camp to run?
- Oh, I suppose.
You know, I'm just not
feeling very motivated today.
I need something to
light a fire in my ass.
- [chuckles] Well, I
can get behind that
and I know just the guy.
But first I'm gonna need
to do some stretches.
[audience laughing]
[telephone ringing]
Camp Wannakiki, where
indoor plumbing goes to die.
How may I help you?
- Hey, Cherry, girl.
It's me, Linda Book from
down here at the library.
- Oh, hi honey. What's shaking?
- Girl, I got some news.
Child, I've been laid off!
- Oh my, oh dear!
When did this happen?
- What? What happened?
- Linda's been laid.
- Oh, well, good for her.
I didn't know she
still had it in her.
- Wait, it's still in her?
[audience laughing]
Oh. Oh, I see.
Off. Linda's been laid off.
Listen Linda, let me
put you on speaker.
- You know those folks
who been complaining
about drag story hour?
Well honey, they stormed
the Tri-County Board
meeting last night
and managed to get enough
votes to ban all the books.
Girl, half those Neanderthals
don't even know how to read.
Anyway, when I refused
to remove the books,
honey, they fired me and
emptied all the shelves
at the library.
- The nerve!
- Can you believe it?
- Girl, I'm so mad right now,
I could probably
refuse a cocktail.
- What books did they ban?
- Take your pick, honey.
They banned all the books.
They say if a drag queen had
been anywhere near a book
that it was unsafe for children.
Child, bookshelves are as empty
as a discount wig
store on Pride weekend.
- Who are these Tri-County
Board people anyway?
- I'll tell you who.
A bunch of [boing] [clang]
who [rumble] tell
everybody else what to do
when they're the ones that
[whoosh] people in the [boing].
Why, I tell you what, go
through their browser history
and I bet [rattle]
flip your [honk]
bunch of [boing] hypocrites.
[audience laughing]
- If only there was
a way we could get
some new children's books,
then maybe we could
organize a new story hour.
Girl, we just can't
let the morons win.
- Yes, you stay strong, Linda.
Help is on the way.
- Oh, thank you girls.
I knew if there was anybody
who knew what it felt like
to be ignored or
taken for granted,
it would be you two.
[audience laughing]
- Ooh, that burns me up!
- Well, there's
your fire, Betty.
But honestly, you should
lay off the chalupas.
- You know what
this means, Cherry?
- Yes, a Betty Crusade.
- That's right. Let's go.
- Oh dear. Maybe I should
grab the bail money jar.
[audience laughing]
[cheerful music]
Camp it up at
Camp Wannakiki
[steady blues music]
- [Patty] Hi, Boston drag scene.
It's me, Patty
Bourree? From drag?
Listen, I went to camp
and everyone realized
I was a bitch like right away.
Maybe the problem
is me after all?
Nah, it's society.
Of course, not everyone
can always get along
in a group of
beautiful narcissists
but I hope you all know
how truly grateful I am
to have been in community with
you over the last five years.
You've inspired
me, cheered me on,
and even roasted me a little
bit from time to time.
I know I wouldn't be the
aggressively blonde artist
I am today without all of you.
We share each other's
hardships and successes.
Except for me winning
Camp Wannakiki,
I did that by my fucking self.
Just kidding!
Don't be mad at me.
Love, Patty Bourree.
[cheerful music]
- [Nutella] Dear House
of Masque, and pets.
Camp has been fantastic and
I'm so happy to be here.
It has been wet and wild and
a bit of a circus at times,
but we keep it real
at Camp Wannakiki.
I can't believe I'm
in the top four!
I've also met some amazing
friends along the way.
Hanna is the
kindest of all of us
and would give the fur off
her back if you ask nicely.
Patty is not a
bitch, pass it on,
but has a heart and soul
and shows amazing
dedication to her craft.
And my darling Lulu, ah,
she is my long lost sister
that I've met in a past life
and now my forever Judy.
I love you family,
and thank you so much
for getting me together
and holding my hand.
You have always
taught me to be myself
and to show love, and I am
forever grateful for it.
I love you all so much.
Forever spreadable,
Nutella Fitzgerald.
P.S. Mother, please
feed Mr. Tarot
and please prepare the
fattest blunt before I return.
[upbeat music]
- [Hanna] Dear Danny, Boca and
all of my friends back home.
Ah! I made it to the top four!
Coming to Camp Wannakiki
has been such a whirlwind.
You all know how nervous I was
to compete against nine
different drag artists
I'd never met before.
But you gave me
the push I needed
and I couldn't be any happier.
I've made such incredible
connections with everyone here.
We've laughed, we've
cried, but most importantly
we've smothered each
other in so much love.
Believe it or not,
I've actually made it
through two whole
weeks in the woods.
I've survived a hike,
met "Drag Race"
superstar Kahmora Hall,
and got cream-pied!
The last two activities
are not related.
I've missed you all so much
throughout my time here
but the friendships and
experiences I've gained
along the way will always
be held close to my heart.
Thank you for believing in me
and I can't wait
to see you again.
P.S. I might've shaved my head
at Ivanna's Barbershop,
so be on the lookout
for a naked mole rat
when picking me up.
[steady music]
- [Lulu] Dear Denver, I did it!
I broke the Denver curse
here at Camp Wannakiki.
Nothing against Kai Lee
or Dixie, of course,
but it was really nice
not to go home first.
This has been such
a crazy experience.
So, you know I'm
fitting in just fine.
I will say that I
wouldn't be where I am
without the love and support
from each and every
one of you back home.
But please make sure to water
my plants while I'm away.
Oh, also play them the "Camp
Wannakiki" theme song at night.
They like that.
And please dust their leaves,
rotate them counterclockwise
every three hours,
walk them, and
please don't forget
to read them a bedtime story
before you tuck them in.
Whew. Thanks!
Alright, I gotta
go, the pretty twin
is starting to yell again
and I don't wanna get
thrown in the lake.
I'll see you soon, I'll
bring the crown home, okay?
Okay, love you mean it, bye!
[bell ringing]
[birds chirping]
[steady music]
- Good morning, campers.
- [All] Good morning, Ruthie.
- I've called you
to the camp library
because we have a
literary emergency.
Now, as you know, drag
communities all across America
are under attack
and drag story hours
are one of their
largest targets.
Have any of you hosted
a drag story time?
Oh, you have, Patty?
What was it like?
- Well, I've had a lot that
are really low key and fun
and you know, we sing
songs and tell stories
and I've had some
that, you know,
there's people in masks with
terrible signs who show up.
So, you know, it
really runs the gamut.
- I've done story
time a couple times.
We kind of like leak
where it is the day of
just to make sure that
we don't get the backlash
or the pushback on
having a story time
and so we always end up having
a really great experience
with a lot of love and and
support for each other, so.
- So Patty, how did you
deal with the protesters?
- Um.
Yeah, it was a really, it
was a really difficult time.
There was a few
months where I had
to cancel every drag story
hour event that I had planned
just because it was like, it
was constant on social media
and they were, you know,
once they find one performer
who does a lot of story time,
it's like they really
hone in on that person.
But it was also a
really inspiring time
because of the way
people in the community
come together to protect people.
I learned a lot about
Boston during that time
and about who my
real friends are
and what real community is.
- Oh, Patty.
Well, I'm glad that the
story had a happy ending.
- Yeah.
- Both for your city,
your community, and yourself.
Well today you're going
to help our local library
by writing your very
own children's story!
[Lulu gasping]
So let's take a deep breath
and get ready to write
a creative, whimsical,
heartwarming, and
inspirational children's story.
Good luck.
- Yay!
- Thank you.
- Get that paper.
Come on, get me a piece of
chalk, I gotta get writing.
- [Patty] What are
people writing about?
- Well, I am writing
a little something
that is personal to me.
So I struggle with dyslexia
and so I wanted my
story to portray that,
but in a positive message
so that there's a wonderful
outcome in the end
but you know, you
have to find out.
- Yeah, I'm also kind of
going down that route of like
something that's
more personal to me.
It wasn't always easy to fit in
and so it was always something
where I felt like I had
to hide, if you will.
And so I really wanted
to create this story,
especially for
children, for kids
to let them know that, you know,
being unique, being
different is okay.
And once you find
that, to embrace that
and outwardly express that.
- Yeah, in the same way.
I've also felt like an outsider
just like you, Lulu,
and I'm taking this
as an opportunity to share
some of the things I've learned
and hopefully spread
that onto others
so that way they can more easily
meet those challenges, yeah.
- Patty, what about you?
- I'm taking this opportunity
to write myself in as
the villain of my story.
- Oh! Shocker.
- She's a mean little
girl named Patty
who thinks that she should be
queen of the playground and-
- Slay.
- I don't know exactly,
maybe that's the end too.
[all laughing]
The end, she wins.
- Now is this a playground
or a campground?
- Ah!
[all gasping]
It's a playground, Lulu.
- Okay, alright.
- Alrighty, campers.
How did we do?
- Ooh, well.
- Solid! Ish.
- I bet they're fantastic.
So Lulu, what's the
theme of your story?
- The theme of my story
is all about being unique
and finding your uniqueness
and really accepting that
and showing that with pride.
- Oh, I love it, I
can't wait to read it!
- Yeah!
- Alright, Nutella.
- The theme of my story
is about dyslexia.
- Oh!
- Yes, I struggle
with dyslexia, but I overcome it
and so does my
character in the story.
- That could help
a lot of children.
Good for you.
Patty?
- My story is about a
little brat named Patty
who-
- Uh-oh.
- Hot. A biography.
- I was gonna say, these
aren't autobiographical,
you're making it so hard!
- She thinks that she's
the queen of the playground
but then another kid
has to come along
and explain to her what being
a queen is really all about,
which is about taking
care of your community
and having fun
with your friends.
- Oh my goodness!
Does that kind of sound a
little too close to home
to you other campers
where Patty's concerned?
- They've got nothing, Ruthie,
they've got nothing to say!
- Hanna, what's going
on with your story?
- My story's all about
being a black sheep
and then finding
your own footing
and letting your
true colors shine.
- Wonderful, well these
sound absolutely terrific.
But you know, there's more to
a terrific children's story
than just the actual text.
Most children's books have
fantastic illustrations.
So we're going to
give you another hour
to come up with
four illustrations
that you're going to do yourself
to accompany your story.
Now, where is Ranger Danger
with those art supplies?
[sultry rock music]
- Here are those art
supplies you asked for.
- Thank you, Ranger Danger.
- Happy to service you.
I mean, be of service to you.
God, I love a man
with a big cox. Box!
Box.
Arts and supplies box.
Well, campers, why don't
you give me your stories
and I'll go type them up
and you can use
these art supplies
to work on your illustrations.
I'll be back in a bit.
- Yay!
So what is everyone's take
on all this legislation
and all this protesting
against drag story hour?
- It's very frustrating
to be in our place of work
and not be able to
educate the children
and share this bond
with other kids
and other families, because
we're not a problem.
And we can teach others
love and acceptance
in our own way.
- When you said place of work,
that's like a really key phrase.
For me, when I'm talking
about drag story hour,
because I always say
like, I've never been
pursuing drag story hour work.
It has always been
me being asked
to come into different spaces,
into schools and stuff.
It's not something
that I'm like,
trying to get in the
presence of children,
it's people who think
that it would be good
for their children
to hear from me
and to hear, to have
an experience with me.
- Yeah, I think
it's so important
for all of us to be able to
have queer representation
at a young age.
It gives us permission
to be ourselves
and express ourselves
freely. And imagine a world
where just having more
information out there
for the next generation,
there'd be less bullying,
less harassment,
all of those hardships
that we experienced.
So having a place where
we're able to share
different types of culture,
including queer culture,
is super important.
- I would've loved to
have had a queer education
very early on growing up
'cause I think I would've had
a better understanding
of who I was as a person
and I think that
that development is
extremely important,
especially at a young age.
- We're just trying to
encourage love and acceptance
and being unique and being
proud of who you are,
regardless of what that
looks like to other people.
- We're all just human beings
trying to live an experience.
- Okie dokies, artichokies,
who's ready for some story time?
- Yay!
- Yeah!
- Alright, who'd
like to go first?
- I will.
- Alright, Lulu.
- This is "The
Adventures of Paige
and the Amazing Pop-Up Dress".
Between pages so crisp
where nothing stuck out
lived a girl named Paige
who was special, no doubt.
She lived in Flatville
with her family so grand,
the unfoldable Flat family,
known throughout the land.
Paige's family loved
being flat, you see,
they'd show off their
flatness with so much glee.
They'd iron their clothes
so neat and pristine.
No wrinkle in sight,
flat out clean.
One day while pressing
clothes with care
Paige was distracted,
her mind just not there.
With her head in the
clouds, stuck in a dream
she thought, could things be
different than what they seem?
We all know that feeling, huh?
Distracted by her thoughts
and wild imagination,
Paige made a mistake while
ironing, a tiny complication.
A fold where a
fold should not be.
Paige felt inspired,
but what could this be?
Paige saw beauty in
those accidental folds.
A new design, a story
waiting to be told.
But sadness crept in and
Paige hid her mistake,
afraid that her family
would not like her new take.
But then Paige realized
being different is okay
and perhaps her discovery
could brighten someone's day.
This encouraged
Paige to stay true,
to add folds to her dress,
showing Flatville
what she could do.
With brand new courage
Paige shared her creation,
a dress that popped up
unlike any in Paper nation.
Her family surprised
by a dress not flat,
soon realized that Paige's
dress was all that.
The town threw a party to
celebrate Paige in her dress.
Now a designer whose creations
certainly did impress.
Flatville no more, now
the land of the free
and being true to oneself
was the way you should be.
So remember, dear friend,
as you turn each page
to love what makes you
different, no matter your age.
For in this world we're
all different, it's true.
And that's what makes it
beautiful, through and through.
And that's the end!
That's the story of Paige.
[all applauding]
- Lulu, that was lovely!
- Thank you.
- Aw. Alright, who'd
like to go next?
- I will.
- Okay, Nutella,
let's hear your story.
- This is the story of
"Penelope Pencil". Yum, yum.
Once upon a time there
was a child named Sadie,
it was the first day of school
with the teacher, Ms. Grady.
"Good morning class!" Ms.
Grady sang out with glee.
"Today you're all going
to write with me."
Then all of the
students, one by one
went up to the board for
what looked like fun.
But sitting there scared,
afraid to prolong,
Sadie whispers, "I'm
scared of doing it wrong."
Ms. Grady smiles and
gives Sadie a wink.
"I got just the friend to
help, here, let me think."
Sadie crosses her arms and
starts to put up a fence.
"These words are jumbled
and they don't make much sense!"
Then out of her pocket
we watch her reveal,
the most fabulous
looking pencil,
and she's wearing a heel.
"Hello my dear. I didn't
mean to give you a fright.
My name is Penelope Pencil
from the land of Dyslexia,
and I'm here to help
you read and write."
Sadie feels scared
and nervous at best,
but doesn't quite seem
like an easy quest.
"You might as well join
the rest of the group.
My brain looks like a
bowl of alphabet soup."
"While that does
sound delicious,
I've got some news for you.
At your age life
should feel like a zoo.
I'll try not to keep
this quite too long,
but when it comes to writing,
there is no right or wrong.
All it takes is a deep
breath and a turn of a letter
then suddenly it
all feels better."
Sadie takes a deep breath
and lets out a smile.
This is the happiest
she's felt in a while.
She grabs Penelope
with all her might
then with confidence,
begins to write.
Penelope scratches and drags
across the paper with care.
Then when finished, Sadie
jumps up, eager to share.
She clears her throat
without a glimmer of worry
and then she reads
what she wrote
but she's not in a hurry.
"At times you may
feel defective, but
that's not all true.
All you need is a
change of perspective
to help your best
shine through."
After she finishes, Sadie
takes a deep breath,
and normally that would've
scared her to death.
But with the help of Ms. Grady
and Penelope, her new friend,
dyslexia and doubt
are no match for her,
and that's the end.
[all applauding]
- That was wonderful!
Oh, I just loved it.
- Oh, thank you Ruthie.
- Thank you.
- Alright.
"The Queen of the
Playground" by Patty Bourree.
And I just wanna say, all
characters in the story
are fictional and not
meant to represent
any real life drag queens.
People.
Patty Pepperton Pam-Pam
Paree was the prettiest
and most popular girl
in all of grade three.
She had all the best clothes
and she threw the best parties,
she had all the best toys,
including all the best Barbies.
So that's why at recess,
the whole class bowed down
when Patty barked, "Hey,
guess what, losers?
I am the queen of
this here playground!"
Queen Patty said who could
play where and play when
and dissenters were banished,
never asked to join in again.
Queen Patty ruled the playground
like a cruel and jealous tyrant
and nothing is fun about
or rhymes with tyrant.
But a new kid in class
who went by String Bean
stood right up to
Patty and said,
"Hey Patty, I'm also a queen."
You see, String Bean had been
to a drag story hour before
and knew being a queen
meant something much more.
"You? A queen?" said
Patty maliciously.
"But you're a boy, now
bug off, expeditiously."
"No, Patty." [gaps]
Gasp, said String Bean,
their knees starting to shake.
"A queen isn't a boy or a girl,
that's your first mistake.
A queen isn't someone
who meanly demands,
a queen is a person who
unites all the lands.
She fights for the rights
of the people who need her,
she doesn't have to yell
to show she's a leader."
"Hey, wait a second. I
think I'm a queen then too!"
The kids started to say.
"I'm a king." "I'm
the prime minister."
"I'm a Duchy of They."
And soon all the students
in the playground realm
were ruling together,
each at their own helm.
And as for Patty
Pepperton Pam-Pam Paree,
she went on to work
in middle management.
Wow.
The end.
- Thank you, Patty.
- Thank you.
[all applauding]
- Okay, Hanna,
let's hear your story.
- Is it my turn? Oh!
Hello friends.
- Hello.
- Hi!
- Hi, I'd like to
read a story to you.
- Okay.
- This is called
"It's Not Your Fault"
by me, Hanna Barbeara.
In a town of bright colors
where joy filled the air
lived Billy the black sheep
with a heart to repair.
In a family not quite like
the rest of the flock,
she felt like an outsider,
experiencing shock.
Her parents were troubled,
their struggles unclear,
and sometimes their actions
brought Billy to tears.
With hurtful remarks
and days that were gray,
Billy would crumble
and fall in the fray.
Then out of nowhere a
sparrow took flight.
It sang out to Billy
with one goal in sight.
"Dear Billy, my friend,
listen closely to me.
You're special and loved,
as unique as can be.
"It's not your fault,"
the sparrow did say,
"For things that have
happened along the way.
Your heart is bright
with kindness to share.
Embrace who you are
for it's truly rare."
Billy then smiled as
hope filled her soul.
With the wise little sparrow,
she began to feel whole.
Though she stood
out from the others,
she knew deep
inside she was brave
and no spirit could
ever outshine.
"It's not your fault,"
the sparrow sang sweet,
"You're writing your
story, the one in the lead.
Don't let others define
you or bring you dismay.
Be proud of your colors,
let them guide your way."
As days turned to weeks,
Billy found her own grace.
One step at a time,
a slow steady pace.
No longer the black sheep,
but a friend to all.
She embraced her true self,
standing proud and tall.
And so dear children,
let this tale be heard
in a world of differences,
embrace each bright bird.
For it's not your fault,
no matter the hue,
you're loved and you
matter for just being you.
Thank you. Thank you!
[all applauding]
- Very impressive, campers!
That was delightful!
Now it's almost
time to get ready
for tonight's talent show.
Today we've asked
you to present a look
inspired by your very
own children's story.
And then three of you will
live happily ever after
at the Season Six "Camp
Wannakiki" finale.
I'll see you tonight!
- Bye!
- Bye, Ruthie!
[cheerful fanfare music]
[upbeat dance music]
- Good evening and welcome
to tonight's Camp
Wannakiki talent show!
- Earlier today,
our campers hosted
their very own story hour
with original books
they wrote themselves.
- And tonight, those
books will come to life
as the campers present looks
inspired by their stories
on the talent show stage.
- Ruthie, did you
enjoy story hour?
- It was a real page turner.
- [chuckles] We agree!
Let's start the show.
[bell clacking]
- [Hanna] Flockless and
fallen, I felt out of place.
A black sheep in hiding,
my colors erased.
When a birdie sing out,
be bold and be true,
with trust, strength
and kindness, hooray!
A breakthrough.
My shame has been sheared,
a new me transformed.
A loved little lamb,
my self-worth reformed.
Now with the courage to
shine my light bright,
I look toward new pastures
with joy and delight.
Embracing my colors,
what makes me unique.
Every shade and rich
hue, no longer as meek.
[Patty humming a fanfare]
- [Patty] Bow down, my loyal
classmates slash subjects!
It is I, queen of
the playground,
Patty Pepperton Pam-Pam Paree,
the prettiest and most
popular girl in grade three.
Today we're playing
the mulch is lava.
So you better not let
me touch the lava,
you whiny little
peasants, no matter what.
Mm! Mm!
Mm!
Behold, how daintily
and delicately
I jump from child to child.
It's good to be the queen.
- [Lulu] Once upon a time
in a town called Flatville,
there was a girl
named me, Paige!
My family's one of the
flattest families around,
they stick to the book and
do not like to stand out.
So you can only imagine
how pressed I was
when I accidentally
ironed a fold
into my favorite flat dress.
Oh, sheet. Is it
okay to be different?
I saw this mistake as my chance
to stick out among the crowd.
I ironed fabulous
folds into my dress
and something magical happened.
Now I celebrate my true
self and my uniqueness
and I'm not afraid to show it.
And that is how my story goes.
- [Nutella] Penelope
Pencil, present!
Here to save the day.
Did it once already,
but again, let me say,
at times you may feel defective
but that's not all true.
All you need is a
change in perspective
to help your best shine through.
Keep creating, friends, and
the letters cannot stop you.
And if all else fails,
[laughs gently] you
can make a haiku.
- Welcome back,
campers, our top four.
As you know, we only have
three Story Hour badges.
Which means at the
end of the night,
one of you will
have to take a hike.
- Are you sure?
- Ooh!
- I'm pretty sure that's
how the story ends, yeah.
- Okay.
- Oh!
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Well, let's just talk
to Miss Lulu Krystals,
who is not flat today.
- For this look, when I
heard drag story hour,
I really like, what's more
captivating than a pop-up book?
So I really wanted to
create a pop-up look
that kind of matched my story.
I glued all of these
tissue papers together.
This was my only look in my
package that I made myself.
- So you actually created
the accordion folds?
- I did.
- Oh wow.
- Yeah, it's 150 sheets
of tissue paper.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Don't get it wet.
- No!
- Oh my God.
- And I think this
perfectly matches the story.
- Thank you.
- So kudos to that.
I might've done
something different,
you spent all this
time on the dress.
I would've maybe
made a headpiece
because the wig is
kind of distracting.
The rest is really, really cool.
Hanna Barbeara!
- I always feel like a
black sheep wherever I go.
I've kind of lived my life
feeling a little
bit misunderstood.
Sorry, I'm not
trying to be edgy.
But it's been a common
feeling in my life.
- Well, you're not the black
sheep here at Camp Wannakiki
and even if you were, we
like sheeps of all colors.
So, you have found
your new flock.
- Oh yeah, I have.
- Here.
- I love a good reveal.
And this was just
reveal after reveal
after reveal after
reveal after reveal!
Nutella Fitzgerald!
I love that your story
was about dyslexia
and those sort of
classroom struggles.
I can't even start on that wig.
I just wrote down wowee.
- I knew I wanted to
talk about dyslexia
and about this character
that saves the day
and helps navigate through
the world that is dyslexia,
which is a jumbled up
mash of alphabet soup
for some of us, and dyslexia
is different for each person.
And I wanted to make Penelope
this sassy yet
confident individual
and I thought, you know
what would be great?
A pencil. But in
a cocktail dress.
[all laughing]
- I mean, the eraser wig
down to the pencil
tipped pointed shoes
that you were writing with,
it's just a really
fun and campy look.
And I also really
enjoyed the story.
- Thank you.
- Patty Pitter Pop
Pam-Pam, Patty what?
- Patty Pepperton Pam-Pam Paree.
- Patty Pepperton
Pam-Pam Paree!
- That's what I said.
- Everyone's always
messing it up for her.
- [Cherry] Don't beat
me with your scepter.
- I really wanted to
show the two sides
of how I think about drag
and on the one side there's
Patty Pepperton Pam-Pam Paree
who's sort of this
extravagant narcissist
and on the other side
there was String Bean
who's sort of
community-oriented.
- You really like playing
the villain here, don't you?
[Patty laughing]
- You were the villain
in the murder mystery,
in the welcome to the
jungle talent show,
and now we have this.
- It's a very comfortable
semi-final look, yes.
- [Ruthie] Yes.
[all laughing]
- So we have a fabulous
top four in front of us,
but there are only
three Story Hour badges.
- So unfortunately at the
end of the night tonight,
one of you will
have to take a hike.
But for now you can all
wait in the rec room
while we deliberate.
- [All] Thank you.
[steady music]
- I'm feeling a little
frustrated to be honest.
I feel like I've earned
a place in the finale,
but I feel that
just based on this,
that I won't be there.
And I love you guys and I think
you all did great tonight.
- If I may ask,
what makes you think
that your critique was bad?
- I feel that your performances
had more layers to them tonight.
And mine was a character
and like they said,
it's not the first
villain I've played.
- For whatever it's worth,
I think that your story
and your look were one
of the top tonight.
And I knew going into this
that they were gonna say
something about this wig.
Little did I know
that they had one.
- Oh, did they wear
that this season?
- Not this season, no.
They wear it, probably
at a Disney brunch, no.
[all laughing]
[Patty and Nutella yelping]
- It's funny 'cause we're
all our worst critics.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
- I don't know what
to expect tonight.
I was trying my best to be
as honest and raw as I could
when I wrote that story.
And I'm, right now in my life,
I'm no contact with my family.
It just sucks when the people
who are supposed to
love you the most
are the number one people
who don't believe in you.
- Hanna, I'm just
so proud of you.
I really am.
- Thank you.
- Well, we are about
to choose the top three
of Season Six of
"Camp Wannakiki".
- Oh my God!
- I can't believe it.
- I can't believe it either.
- Very exciting.
- This entire season
has flown by so fast.
- Mm.
- Yet it seems like ages.
I love how they really
took to this challenge.
- And those stories!
- They were great,
they were inspiring.
- Couldn't have been
happier with our campers.
- Well, we have them right here,
I really loved all of them.
They're all really
good artists too.
- Yeah, let's talk about
Lulu a little bit, should we?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I did like her story.
I wish that she had a little
variety in the drawings.
- Yes, there was a lot
of drawings of Paige
in the same pose pretty much.
But this was actually one
of my favorite stories
so I thought it was just so
adorable and so relatable
and something that
kids could understand.
- [Cherry] The look I
thought was also great,
I do wish that there
was a wig reveal.
I didn't really like the wig.
- I would rather have just not
had that wig to begin with.
I get that she was going
for something flat,
but she's gonna spend all
that time making this gown,
could she not make a wig
outta the same stuff?
- Silhouette of a wig,
yeah.
- I dunno.
It would've completed the look.
So let's talk about Patty,
the queen of the playground.
- Ooh.
I thought it was great,
I thought it was a great
lesson about bullying.
But I also thought it
was a great lesson about
what is a queen?
- [Betty] I love it when
people learn a lesson.
- She likes to play the
villain but the funny thing is,
I don't think she's
really a villain.
- [Ruthie] I wanted
something else from the look
and I'm not sure what it was.
- Anytime you see a
drag queen come out
with an oversized outfit,
you expect a reveal.
But I looked at it as
like, okay, it's a kid.
I kind of took it as a
little baby doll dress.
- [Ruthie] I get that.
- And then we have our
black sheep of the-
- Oh, Hanna Barbeara!
- Camp here, Hanna Barbeara.
I liked that it
was very personal,
you could tell it
was a personal story.
It did need some
editing I think,
only because it just kind
of started in one direction
and kind of went in
another direction.
- [Ruthie] I actually
had to go back
and reread the story twice.
- A little editing
and it would be
a great story.
- Yeah.
But the look today
was fantastic.
- [Betty] This is a case
of you expect the reveal,
you know it's coming
and then when it comes,
you're still excited about it.
- Correct, yep.
- And that's really
an art form and not all
entertainers have that.
A story that did not
disappoint at all was-
- Penelope Pencil!
- Yes.
- It was nice to see that people
can take a personal experience
and turn it into a story
to help teach kids,
to help them navigate
through their own struggles.
- [Cherry] I love the story
itself, I love the illustrations
because each page is a
little bit different.
The story was great,
the look was fantastic.
It's our second pencil.
- [Ruthie] Second pencil.
- I mean, then when
the wig popped up
and they had the apples
for the teachers,
I would prefer
cherries personally
but apples are fine, I suppose.
- That was a lovely surprise.
Not only 'cause I was hungry,
but because it was
just a great surprise.
And I love the detail
and the little pencils
and the bracelet
and the earrings.
- [Betty] I mean, all the
way from the eraser head
down to the lead tipped shoes
where she was
writing on the floor.
I just thought it
was very smart.
- But we have to choose
our three finalists.
I think they all did well today,
I think I could see a
combination of any three
in the finale tomorrow.
So this is gonna be tough.
- Well, let's bring our
little bookworms back in here.
- [Announcer] The winner
of "Camp Wannakiki"
will receive a
stupendous prize package.
Including, Itza Pola!

Mary's, where you can-
- [Both] Eat, drink,
and be Mary, baby!
- [Betty] Welcome
back, top four.
- [All] Hello!
- This has been a
fantastic semi-finals
of Camp Wannakiki Season Six
and I can't imagine
a better top four.
- But as you know,
there are four of you
and only three Story Hour badges
and only three
spots in the finale.
- We have each written
on our chalkboards
the name of a camper who has
earned their Story Hour badge
and a spot in the finale.
And I'm gonna start
with today's winner
and that is Nutella Fitzgerald!
- Oh my God, thank you so much.
- [Announcer] Congratulations,
you've just earned $500 cash!
- Congratulations, Nutella,
you've also earned
your spot in the finale
and you can wait backstage
for the badging ceremony.
- Thank you so much.
Oh, so excited.
- The next camper to earn
their Story Hour badge
and a spot in the finale is
Patty Bourree.
- Thank you so much.
I'm going to wear this badge
most proudly, thank you.
- Hanna Barbeara
and Lulu Krystals,
we love you both
so very, very much.
You have been a huge part of
this season of Camp Wannakiki.
I am sorry however that
there's only one badge left
as we head into the finale.
So with that said, the last
badge is going to go to
Lulu.
- [sighs] God.
- You did such an amazing job.
- Thank you. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
- Yeah, close that shit.
Come here.
- [Lulu] I love you so much.
- Oh my dear, hi.
- Hello, friends. Hi.
This is way easier now 'cause
I practiced a few times.
- Hanna Barbeara, ah.
Better the second time around.
You have been so much
fun to have at camp
and we're so glad that
you were able to come back
and join the competition again
and you really
made the most of it
and today was no exception.
Your story was very touching
and this look is
very exceptional.
It just came down to the
number of badges that we had.
- Yeah. I get it.
Thank you so much for
the opportunity here.
I never thought I would
even be able to come here,
or that you guys would
pick my audition tape
and all the friends
I've made, this is wild!
And if you guys ever
have an All-Stars,
just think of me.
- Right now, you're neck
and neck with Beebop.
[all laughing]
- This is not
goodbye. Far from it.
- No.
- You're not getting
rid of us that easily.
- You're stuck with me.
- But unfortunately
tonight, my dear,
you have to take another hike.
- My calves are strong now.
Love you guys, bye.
[lively music]
Camp it up at
Camp Wannakiki
[relaxed blues music]
- Well, we did it, fam.
We're in the top three!
- We did it!
- Yay!
- We've all worked our
asses off to be here
and this is a pretty
cool top three, y'all.
Sad to see Hanna
take another hike
but I'm glad that I'm
here to join both of you.
- I think right now my mentality
to go forward to tomorrow
is I'm just gonna
remain happy and just,
I'm gonna have a great
day with my friends.
But also keeping
myself calm and secure
and knowing that things
are gonna be alright
no matter what.
- For me, I just know
that there's nothing left
but to put 127% on that talent
show stage tomorrow night,
there's nothing left to lose.
- Yeah.
- I'll tell you my strategy
for securing the win
if you wanna know,
but you have to come
very close to the fire.
- Oh, I see, I see.
- Oh! She's tricky.
- Not with this synthetic wig.
- I think it's time
to wrap up our evening
and get ready for tomorrow!
- Yes.
- Yes, ma'am!
- Here's to the top three!
- [Both] To the top three!
- Awoo!
- Oh, oh, oh!
- Oh, oh, oh!
[gentle music]
- Round two.
Looks like I'm
taking a hike again,
but I couldn't be any happier.
I was able to come back
and find out that all of my
peers who I respect so much
voted for me and thought that
I deserved a second chance.
I was able to show
more of my art
and really, really just
highlight my experience here.
Thank you everybody back
home who supported me
and I'll see you soon.
Goodbye, friends.
- You know what, now
that I think about it,
I actually need to come down
there to Camp Wannakiki.
Mhmm.
You know, it's been a long time
since I've been
out in the woods.
I heard y'all be down
there making mud pies
and swinging from trees
and all kind of stuff.
- Oh, oh!
Roll cameras.
Action!
- They are rolling.
- Yeah, action!
- Nutella Fitzgerald.
Getting felt up.
- Audio's rolling. Sync.
- Good to start rolling?
- Thank you.
- Good job.
- Texas in the house.
- There's your Camp Champ,
right there.
