[tires screeching]

Welcome to my home.

Now, I just want to say to the fans,

during these crazy times,

I am so grateful

we've had Drag Race

to bring us together every Friday night.

It's gonna take a whole lot more
than Miss Coronavirus

to keep us from celebrating
the truly amazing queens

of Season 12,

so grab your mask

and your mascara

and follow along with #DragRace.

Tonight it's all about the queens

who made us feel blessed
and highly favored.

Take a look.

♪ I-I-I'm that bitch ♪

♪ Bitch, I might be
The baddest bitch alive ♪

♪ Ain't no surprise ♪

♪ Girls get mad when they look
At these thighs ♪

♪ And I'm still servin' looks
When I'm eatin' these fries ♪

-[laughter]
-Ep-ic-ness!

Jackie's Magic Carpet Merkins... for you!

[comical shrieks]

Boo! Ha ha!

Do the jerk!

[laughter]

She's a fierce brocc-ally.

Made from tears of a drag queen!

Mine! [comical cry]

[Aiden] I don't care
what your background is,

if the judges aren't seeing
what they want to see, bitch, bye.

[Brita] Sis, you take naps while
all of us are working hard.

[Jaida]
You cannot afford to make excuses.

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
fuck you, and fuck you.

How 'bout you mind
your own fucking business?

[laughter]

Harry Hamlin. Have you met my husband?

-[Heidi] Say it one more time.
-Harry Hamlin.

Don't talk about my husband!

...of the bitches, for the bitches.

What?

-Look over there!
-Where?

I-- I fall for it every time, too!

[Jeff Goldblum]
Oh, boy.

♪ I wanna rule the world ♪

♪ I wanna rule the world ♪

♪ Rule the world ♪

♪ I wanna grab it by the balls ♪

[cheers and applause]

[RuPaul] You are really some of the best

we've ever had here.

I just think you're something else.

[RuPaul laughing]

That's right!

After a season like no other,

we have ourselves a top three,

and in one week, Crystal Methyd,

Gigi Goode,

and Jaida Essence Hall

will compete for the title
of America's Next Drag Superstar,

and trust me, honey, when I say,

it's anyone's game to win.

Now, for the first time
in Drag Race herstory,

"safe" is a good word,

and I'm happy to report that
all our queens are looking good

and feeling healthy, so...

bring back my girls!

[telephone ringing]

♪ Bring back my girls ♪

-Aah!
-Oh, my God!

It's looking like
a slumber party up in here,

and I am ready for that.

-[laughter]
-I'm so happy you got the memo.

Yes! In the sleepwear theme!

Starting with my New York City girls,

Jan, where you at, girl?

Hi, Ru! I am in Hell's Kitchen,
Brita City.

I am having so much fun
here with my boyfriend.

We're doing something every day
that puts a smile on our faces.

All right! Bonjour, Nicky Doll!

How's the quarantine treatin' you?

Well, I am actually in
New York City, in my apartment.

I am eating my feelings,
and performing online

for my fans, and I am
not a sample size anymore,

but everything is great!

And... Jackie Cox.

Salaam, RuPaul joon!

I'm here in Hell's Kitchen,
ten blocks from Jan,

so I get a live performance
of Jan's jukebox

'cause I can hear her ten blocks away.

And Miss Brita, the queen of New York.

Wait a minute-- you're in Maine!

What's goin' on?

Yes, I'm in Maine, at my parents' house.

You know, I have really bad asthma.

She's an asthmatic queen.

I thought it was safer for me
to be here. I'm keepin' it real.

I'm not wearing any pants right now,
so I feel very good.

Well, if you bump into Jessica Fletcher,
please say hello from me.

[laughter]

Next up, Dahlia Sin.

I thought you were an LA queen.

What are you doing in New York City now?

Girl, she flew over here and she is stuck.

She is quarantined, girl,
with my lovely "mari-juh-uana."

[RuPaul] All right.

It was legal when I got it from LA.

[laughter]

Next I want to check in
with my Southern belles.

Aiden Zhane, where are you
home-sheltering?

I am currently quarantining in

li'l ol' Acworth, Georgia, with my family,

um, and I'm doing good.

I started a bedroom queen,

and I'm still a bedroom queen.

Werk!

You come bedroom queen,
you ain't gotta get bedroom queen.

[Heidi] Yes!

Miss Heidi, is that your closet?

I am not in my closet,

but I am back at home in North Carolina,

and I am just right up the road
from the chickens and the cows,

and just living my best life
and taking it one day at a time.

[laughing] Okay!

Say hi to Farmer John for me.

[laughter]

Next up, Missouri in the house.

Showing up for
the Show Me State, hi, Crystal.

Hi, Ru, how's it going?

Now, Crystal, I don't know
if it's you or the Tiger King,

but I see a lot of people rockin' mullets.

[laughter]

Now, I'm working on mine
right now. Can you tell?

Oh, here's a clue, it's not on my head.

-[laughter]
-[Nicky] Oh, my God.

And Miss Widow,

how you "Von'Du-ing," girl?

I'm in my apartment. I got my tequila.

The walls haven't closed in yet,

but it is fun to get drunk
and just walk straight to my bedroom.

[laughter]

Next up, where are my California girls?

Miss Gigi Goode, what's new, pussycat?

Good morning, Miss Paul.

I am doing, um, very well.

I just got my braces off,

and my parents finally
said yes to a sleepover,

so I'm having a really good time.

Oh, you're gonna finally
get to have some caramel corn.

I know, I can't wait.

Rock M. Sakura. What's up, Doc?

I'm just here in San Francisco

in my old converted nunnery.

Also, I've been masturbating so much

that my, uh, my wiener looks
like a piece of beef jerky.

-[laughter]
-It's unusable.

Oh, my God.

I love beef jerky.

See, oversharing is caring.

[laughter]

And, last but not least,
schlemiel, schlimazel,

Milwaukee's best, Miss Jaida Essence Hall.

[Jaida] Hey, Ru, I'm here in Milwaukee

having a great drink and staying safe

as I can possibly be.

Mwah!

Ladies, I want to thank you all
for joining us

from the safety of your homes

because it do take nerve
to flatten the curve.

-[laughter]
-[Nicky] Werk.

Okay, who's ready to spill
some tea about the season?

[Nicky] I have been dying for that.

[Dahlia]
Over here, girl.

Yes, Mama, I knew it. I thought so.

First up, the pride
of Ramseur, North Carolina,

Miss Heidi Aphrodite.

Let's take a look.

I know I look good in my,
uh, leprosy print.

I feel like this gon' be
right up my avenue--

avenue-- ave-- ave--

Bitch, I live on an avenue.
Why can't I say the word?

-[comical shriek]
-[yowl]

She delivered-- literally,
'cause she was pregnant.

If that doesn't make it in,
there's a problem.

That was gold.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Now, you know, of course,

the world fell in love
with your sweet Southern style.

Where's that come from?

Well, um, growing up, I was really...

I was really picked on, bullied a lot.

I had to take anger management classes

because I did have
so much anger growing up

inside from always being bullied.

One day I just blew up,

and I really, um,
got to a place in my life

where I was just always angry,

so I took the anger management classes,

and it's really helped me grow,

and I think, um, that helped me
build a sense of humor.

[RuPaul] That's great. Now, Nicki Minaj

confronted you about your makeup.

She kind of read you for filth,
and you confronted her about it.

Now, was that some of
the anger coming out?

[laughs] She didn't really elaborate,
so I wanted to know.

And, you know, my grandmother
taught me growing up

that there's only two things
I ever need to be afraid of,

that's God and her.

So Nicki Minaj does not scare me,

which is why I asked.

Yeah, uh, Heidi,
Gigi got under your skin also.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Let's take a look.

Ooh!

You're a sickening performer,

but the judges have told you
week after week

that you have to improve on your face.

[Jackie] It came out of nowhere,
and it was like,

Damn, bitch, fuck my drag,
and fuck my face.

[Gigi] I regret the way
that it came out of my mouth.

Some of you had brought up the fact

that you didn't understand
why you were in the bottom.

-[Heidi] I've never said--
-Listen, Heidi, I--

-Go for it.
-[Heidi] I've never said

I didn't know why I was in the bottom.

I really respect you and what you do.

I respect you, but I lost
some respect for you today.

[RuPaul] Ooh. Okay.

Now, tell me this, did any of your

anger management classes come up

in your head in those situations?

-[RuPaul laughs]
-[Heidi] Yes, usually I would wait

till I got back to the hotel room
and really just...

-[RuPaul] Uh-huh.
-[scream]

[laughter]

[RuPaul] And then that actually works.
That's a perfect,

uh, tool to use when
you're in that situation, you know?

Now, Gigi,
I want to go to you real quick.

What do you say to that?

Well, I really need you to know, Heidi,

that I completely regret
the way that it came out

because it was not meant
to hurt your feelings.

It was definitely meant
to be constructive.

And watching it back, I was like,

Okay, yeah, that definitely
came out... really wrong.

But in the moment,
I just wanted you to excel

in the areas that, you know,
other people wanted you to excel in.

And I'm sorry I didn't realize
that you had been

working on improving your face...

-[Nicky] So good.
-[Gigi] ...and, honestly,

the most important thing is,
l-- look at you now.

This old thing?

You have made such a glow-up,
and you look gorgeous.

I completely,
100% accept your apology, Gigi,

and I really do appreciate it,
and I do apologize myself.

I probably could have definitely
handled that situation

a lot better, so I love you,
and we've talked it out, girl. Mwah.

Damn, I really wanted
to see you guys fight.

I wanted to see you guys throw hands.

[laughter]

Uh, is there anything else
you want to get off your chesticles?

Well, okay, so we have to
come on out with this,

throughout the season... [laughs]

Mama, you've given me...
[whistling] several names.

-[chuckling]
-[Heidi] And my fans...

uh, they've kind of deemed
themselves as "Closet Cases,"

and they really do feel like

they cannot do without the Closet name,

so-- and, um, the fans, they do--

they're paying my bills right now, so...

[laughter]

...I have to give them what they want.

So, it might have to stay Heidi N Closet

for a little bit longer.

Well, just let me say that, um...
that is a mistake. [laughter]

[laughter]

[rattlesnake sound]

Okay, guys,
we'll be right back after this.

[laughter]

[telephone ringing]

[RuPaul] ♪ Bring back my girls ♪

Welcome back to RuPaul's Drag Race:
Reunited-- Alone Together.

Now, in one week, we will crown
America's next drag superstar,

but tonight we spill the tea on Season 12.

Hey, squirrel-friends.

-Howdy.
-[all] Hey!

Let's rendezvous with
international beauty, Nicky Doll.

-Hi, Nicky.
- Bonjour .

Pardon my French, but how the hell are ya?

I am doing just fine, Ru. How are you?

I'm doing great.
Now, fans really fell in love with you

and were really sorry to see you go.
What's the response been like?

Look, it's been incredible
because I, as you know,

I was a lot in my head
during the competition,

but when I arrived, I feel like,

on top of being praised
for the fashion and the beauty,

blah, blah, blah,
I was also praised for the struggle

that I was going through
in the competition.

[Nicky]
The fans are just so loving.

Nicky, at one point,

several queens said
that you should go home.

Let's take a look.

Who should go home tonight... and why?

Uh-oh.

[RuPaul] Brita?

The character that I didn't
really understand that well

out of all the girls was Nicky's.

[RuPaul] All right. Heidi.

[deep sigh]

I feel like the girl who has
struggled the most is Nicky.

[RuPaul] All right. Crystal Methyd.

I'd have to say Nicky.

[softly] I love you.

[RuPaul] Nicky Doll, what say you?

Due to the challenge, I would say myself.

[RuPaul] Nicky, how do you
feel about that now?

Uh, I feel very stupid... now

because I feel like, uh,
re-watching the episode,

and now watching it as a viewer,

I think that my role-- I should
have backed up my role way more.

I think that my baby was funny,

and, yeah, it was just a lot of emotion.

When you're being named
one after the other, uh...

I just got-- the stress get
the most out of me.

Uh, Brita, you voted to release Nicky.

What do you say?

You know, I did at the time.

It was, just, it was more so
just looking at the challenge.

When it comes down to it,
I mean, it's a competition.

But looking at it now, do you really think

that the baby was less strong
than what you thought?

[Brita] Um, I think, looking at it now,

I think that we're all such a strong cast

and we all did an amazing job,

it was just, we had to--
we had to pick someone.

I mean, if I was gonna go by the runway,
then, yes, I would have picked Heidi.

[RuPaul] All right. Crystal.

Um, I think the reason I said Nicky's name

is because Heidi and I
were kind of partners.

Our roles were really entwined,

and so I felt like I couldn't
say my partner's name.

Then why didn't you say Brita?

I don't know. [laughs]

Heidi, what do you say?

I did say her name, and I--
I'd probably say it again...

[laughs] ...after watching it back,

but there's no hard feelings
because, to me, in my heart,

I felt like it was me and her
going to be it anyways.

[Heidi] And of course I'm not
going to say myself.

[RuPaul] Okay.
Hey, Nicky, what's the biggest

lesson you learned from your time
actually on the set?

If there's one thing
that the show gave me,

it's more confidence.

Maybe a little bit more delusion,

but more confidence when it
comes to backing myself up

and, uh, yeah,
if someone else says my name

another time, I'll say their name too.

[laughter]

Nicky, on a personal note,

I want to thank you for
showing up on a moment's notice

to do Pete Davidson's makeup
for our SNL sketch.

-Oh!
-[RuPaul] What can you tell us about Pete?

Pete is a very loving person.

He's so friendly, and such a good ally,

but, if I may, the best part of this day

was to be able to see you in full action

and see how an incredible
professional you are,

and all the amazing advice you gave me

during our little talk,

and I will cherish that moment
for the rest of my life.

-So, thank you.
-Aww. Thank you so much.

You are wonderful.

Is there anything else you want
to get off your chesticles?

I got a lot of tease from the fans
for just being French.

So, my question is,
who the fuck is Pee-Pee Le Poo?

-[laughter]
-Pepé Le Pew!

-[all] Pepé Le Pew!
-[Jaida] Oh, my God!

That bitch fucked up
my whole trajectory.

Everybody talked to me as,
[nasal] "Honh honh honh,"

and " oui, oui, ou i" and "sacre bleu,"

and I'm like,
"Nobody in France says that!"

Not even the skunks
in France talk like that?

-[laughter]
-No!

Next up, our Magic Merkin rider,
Jackie Cox.

Hi, RuPaul! Salaam!

[RuPaul laughs] Jackie Cox,

what's it like to be
the Susan Lucci of Season 12?

[laughter]

Um, you know, I mean, it just-- it's just

the way-- the way the cards worked out,

in the top five times, with no wins,

um, but that's just how it--
the cookie crumbles.

Jackie, you are clearly a girl

with a point of view in the competition.

Take a look.

I feel like early Madonna Jan is, like--

you're the only one, I think, out of us

who can make that actually sound good.

Thank you. No. Uh...

You been sayin' you want
to show us all up.

[clears throat]
Yeah, I'll sing my tits off.

All right, I'll do early Madonna.

Jaida, I know you didn't,
like, want to be last...

Girl...

I mean, I don't care, at this point.

If it's gon' be funny,
bitch, it's gon' be funny.

All right, Jaida-- Jaida signed up for it.

You want the four of us to just
strut on that first four.

Well, they're already struttin'. I mean...

♪That's the way it is
Don't, don't, don't you wish ♪

-I like--
-[Jackie] You could be that bitch.

Shut up and let me do my job.

[RuPaul] Jackie, I want to ask,

do you consider yourself
a leader or a "Bossy Rossy"?

[laughter]

Um, I'm probably
the bossiest one in this cast.

Um, but they seemed in,
like did you guys mind?

-[laughter]
-Yes, we do, bitch!

Have I ever led this cast astray?

When have I ever ruined anything?

When you let me borrow
those boots and I went home.

[laughter]

Let's ask the girls, What was it
like working with Jackie?

Heidi?

She is a Bossy Rossy.

It was definitely, um,
an experience to not forget.

She-- you can tell

she definitely has
a background in business,

and she is going to get
her point across to you.

Jaida, tell me about your
experience working with Jackie.

Um, well, I thought right away,
immediately,

that Jackie had a leg up
in the competition

'cause I had no idea that we would be
working with a producer,

who was also competing against us, so...

[laughter]

All right, I have to get
something off my chest.

In the One Woman Show, I made the mistake

of putting Jaida Essence Hall last.

Uh, I regret it.

And, uh, Jaida,

you-- you still put the "P" in "pageant."
I love you.

And you put the "P"
in "pretty awesome," Jackie.

-Ohh!
-[Jaida] I love you too.

[laughter]

For you!

For you!

Now, Jackie, we also have
a fan message for you.

-Oh.
-[RuPaul] Take a look.

Hi, Jackie Cox!

-[queens exclaiming]
-Lisa Rinna here.

I loved your Snatch Game.

Okay? I'm honored, I'm thrilled.
It was fabulous.

My favorite part was when you
picked up the wine glass

and you said,
"Let's not talk about the husband."

Well, speaking of the husband...

-No!
-[laughter]

-[queens squealing]
-Hello? Harry Hamlin?

Hey, Jackie. You got her.
I mean, you nailed her, right?

Okay! All right!

Wow, you nailed me. Thumbs up, Jackie.

-[queens squealing]
-[Jackie] Oh, my God!

-[RuPaul] Thank you, Lisa.
-That's so cool!

That is amazing.

Now, Jackie, I'm going
to tell you something I really

never had a chance to say before.

Con-drag-ulations,

you are the winner
of this week's challenge.

[laughter]

[Jackie] Oh, my God.

No, no, I mean it, I mean it.

You're a winner, baby,
and never forget that.

[RuPaul laughs]

Kheili mamnoon, RuPaul joon.

Okay, guys, it's time for a break.

Go wash your hands,
and we'll be right back.

[telephone rings]

[RuPaul] ♪ Bring back my girls ♪

Welcome back.

All my Season 12 queens are reunited,

but right now, we're gonna focus on two.

First, a quiet queen
who caused a big ruckus,

Aiden Zhane.

Plus, a queen with #NoFilter,

Brita.

[laughter]

Aiden, you've described yourself
as a bedroom queen,

which seems fitting in these times.

[chuckles] Very.

Take a look.

I have been on quarantine,
and you know what?

Bitch, I'm used to this, okay? Like...

I was a bedroom queen
prior to making Drag Race,

and for those you who don't know
what bedroom queen means...

[intense music plays]

...it means I was doing drag
primarily in my bedroom.

[clears throat]

So, like, hey,
I'm equipped for this life, right?

Wrong! I'm going insane.

[laughter]

Werk, baby!

Nice film!

[RuPaul] So, Aiden,

you said that you had
multiple personalities.

Why only one wig?

-Ohhh!
-[laughter]

Well...

[rattlesnake sound]

Girls like to say, "She's only got one.

I hope she washes that crusty-ass wig."

No. No, bitch. I got, like--

I got kitty-cat wigs on stock.

[laughter]

Some people hoard toilet paper,
some people hoard pussycat wigs.

-[laughter]
-[Aiden] Exactly.

[RuPaul] Aiden, as a bedroom queen,

was it a challenge to fit in
with all these loud bitches?

[Aiden] Hell, yes.

I'm already a huge introvert, like, as is,

so coming into the competition,

I was terrified, and, you know, I'm--

while I'm good at, like,

you know, one-on-one conversation,

being with a whole group of,
like, other loud girls

is a whole new adjustment, so,

that was a new experience
for me, a new territory.

Now, you took the nap that was
heard around the world.

-Oh god.
-Would anyone care to comment on that nap?

[laughter]

It was long. It was a long nap.

I was like, "I don't think Aiden's adding
anything else to this garment."

If the bitch wants to take a nap,
then, bitch, she's gonna take a nap,

and she will reap
the consequences of it later.

[laughter]

I asked her about, like,
adding something to it.

I said, "Well, maybe
you can do something."

She was like, "All right, girl,
I got you. I'll sleep on it."

And, um, she really did.

She did. Aah!

[laughter]

I just want to say, like
to the entire world,

it wasn't a matter of, like, me being lazy

or me not giving a shit,

it was like, okay, if I add
anything else to it,

I run the risk of fucking up what I have.

Maybe it would have been
a detriment if she started

gluing shit on there
and it looked like a monster,

a mess, and then she would
have gotten sent home,

Lord knows what.

I'm right here, Jaida.

[laughter]

Now, Brita had strong feelings
about you as a competitor.

Let's take a look.

[Brita] I think there are certain things
we could have done

better as a group.

I'm nervous about our team.

Aiden was definitely the weakest link.

I honestly felt like you
didn't really lead us much.

At times, I felt like
we were carrying you.

I didn't just sit back and think,
like, all right, I'm done, guys.

Like, who gives a shit? No.

Sis, you take naps!

Aiden Zhane, you're safe.

[softly] Bitch!

Oh, my God.

[Aiden] I don't need these other
bitches trying to tear me down

because they're feeling
poorly about themselves.

I worked so hard on that
whilst you were sleeping!

Aiden, what do you say?

-The bitch was pissed, okay?
-Ooh!

She came in with expectations of herself,

and when she didn't feel
she was living up to that,

it was only normal for her
to look at somebody

who maybe she felt
was a weaker competitor

and be like, "why are they
succeeding and I'm not?"

Brita, why were you
focused on Aiden?

[awkward chuckle]
You know, I think it's because

I saw someone that was doing good,

and I was doing so poorly,

and I, you know, I felt the pressure

of all these people
that were looking up to me

and wanting me to do a good job,
and I wasn't succeeding.

So, like, we definitely had a moment

where we bashed heads,
or I bashed my head on her.

Um, she was just sittin' there.

Um...

Fear is like blood to a shark, you know.

I walked in there looking
scared from day one,

so that was something I think
everybody noticed immediately.

But deep down inside,
I was also, like, very--

I-- I was afraid the entire time.

Watching the entire show this season,

it was really, really hard
for me to watch,

um, because I didn't like
the person I saw.

And I definitely knew that I did wrong,
and I should have been focusing on myself

instead of, like,
trying to lash out at someone else.

That's-- that's not like me,

and I definitely let the pressure
of the competition get to me.

Now, Brita, when Aiden left,
you talked about how much you loved her.

Let's take a look.

I love Aiden. She stuck with it.

I'm proud of that bitch.

Once again,

you can just taste
the fakeness in the air!

-We love you, Aiden Zhane!
-[overlapping shouts]

Everybody wants to act like they actually
gave a shit about Aiden.

You all wanted her gone.

Can somebody tell me when this
turned to Best Friend Race ?

[chuckles]

Widow, what do you think?

I mean, I just calls it
likes I sees it.

[laughter]

I didn't know y'all very well,

and, I mean, when a bitch
comes after bitches,

you know, over and over again,

and then, all of a sudden, "I love you,"

I'm like, "Uh... yeah,
that don't sound correct."

Aah!

[laughter]

Brita, was that real,

or was that you
rewriting history with her?

Uh, no. No. I mean,

definitely, I-- I-- I do love Aiden,
when it comes down to it.

Um, you know, I feel it's
like sisters, like real sisters.

Like, sometimes the claws might come out,

but at the end of the day,
you still love each other.

I just want to set the record straight,
just for the audience,

that it wasn't bullying.

I know how high pressure it is.
I know how crazy shit gets.

[Brita] Now, looking back at it,

I look at it, I see it,

and I know not to make
that mistake for the future.

And, honey, there's gonna be
a future, I hope,

and I'm still keepin' at it,

but definitely know that
that is a part of me,

and I did do those things,

but it's not really who I am,

and I'm so sorry, Aiden.

I'm not somebody who holds onto
stupid fights from last summer,

so... love ya.

Yeah. I love you too, Aiden.

Yes, I can't wait to wear
a pussycat wig myself.

[laughter]

Well, let me ask your New York sisters,

Jackie and Jan,

you've known Brita for a long time,
way before Drag Race.

What do you want other people
to know about her that they don't?

The first time that I ever met Brita,

Brita, from across the room,
heard me singing

and was like,
"Whoo! You better work, bitch!"

And noticed how nervous I was,
and Brita made me feel comfortable.

In the first two minutes of knowing her,
she gave me great advice

and she made me feel accepted and loved
in this brand-new community,

and that's who I know Brita to be.

Look, I think the Brita that was
on RuPaul's Drag Race

is one part of Brita,

but there's this whole bigger part
of Brita that I certainly got to know.

That's a person who's so full of joy,
who always can make you smile,

and I'm so excited as, you know,
now that the competition's over,

for America to get to know
the side of Brita

that we all know in New York City.

[RuPaul] All right, thank you, ladies.

Now let's change the subject.

I want to do a quick tuck inspection.

-Ooh!
-Stand up, ladies,

and see who's gone the Full Monty.

[Nicky] The audacity!

[Widow] I mean, if you want
to see some thighs,

I can show you some thighs, girl!

[Aiden] My balls are hangin' out!

[laughter]

[RuPaul] All right, ladies.

Now, this season's had
some of the most emotional

eliminations in Drag Race herstory,

and I'm not just talking about bowels.

-Well...
-[laughter]

Let's take a look.

-[crying softly]
-My dear Rock M.

Keep sockin' it to 'em.

[queen] We love you, Rock!

-We love you, Rock!
-Love you!

Love you, Rock.

[Rock M. Sakura weeping]

Dahlia Sin, we'll have one less
gorgeous queen without you.

[exhales]

Now... sashay away.

Thank you.

-Whoo!
-We love you, Dahlia!

[Dahlia] So over it. So fucking pissed.

[Dahlia huffs]

Dahlia, why'd you storm off, sis?

-Uh...
-[chuckles]

Girl, I had a lot of emotions
that elimination.

The first thing I was thinking of
was I was gonna scream, "Rigged!"

And I definitely feel that
there should have been

a few other girls that shoulda
been at the bottom,

meaning... Crystal.

I definitely thought you
should have been in the bottom.

[rattlesnake sound]

Actually, just pretty much just your
whole entire group, Crystal.

Crystal, Nicky, and Widow--

the bottom.

No, hold up, bitch, hold up.

-[laughter]
-She tried it.

What are you exactly
expecting from Ru or us to tell you?

That her broccoli was bad. Throw it out.

[laughter]

[mock tears] That I'm a winner!

[laughter]

Next up, Rock.

Now, you had a very tearful exit.
What was going on?

Um, I was living my dream,
being on that cast.

I wanted to be there so, so, so badly.

Honestly, when you called my name,
I thought I was gonna be in the top.

So, it was just like--
it was like a steady

incline on a rollercoaster,

and then it fell down so hard.

[laughter]

So, what was that emotional
moment like for the rest of you?

Ugh. That was the hardest
elimination, I think.

Um, like, you could hear
her crying still backstage,

and it just broke all of our hearts.

Now, Rock, I'm happy to report

that Drag Race
was just the beginning for you.

Tell us about it.

Well, after Drag Race,

I really started to come
into my own more--

like, get more confidence.

I've gotten so much love
from people around the world,

um, telling me that they love my drag,

that it made me feel so validated,

and I feel like I'm a stronger
queen coming out of it.

[RuPaul] Good.

Now, Rock, you talked
about your mom on the show.

Let's take a look.

A big thing when I was growing up was, um,

my mother was addicted to meth.

She took me aside a couple times,

and she would say,

"I'm addicted to drugs because of you."

"Because... [voice breaking]

because of you!"

When you love someone so much,

and they tell you that you're

the reason for their unhappiness,

it... it'll mess with you a bit.

Um... I'm sorry.

I'm getting a little emotional.

Don't cry.

[soft laughter]

My mom, um, she's sober now.

I... I'm so proud of her.

Honestly, since the show,
my mom has watched and has seen

how much the things that she has said

have hurt me and affected me.

And she is doing everything in her power

to make our relationship better.

Um, the first time I got in drag

after I got back,
my mom was there with me.

[sniffles]

And she said she was so proud of me

because I was doing something
that I really loved.

And I could not be more
thankful for this experience

'cause it's let me have
conversations with my mother

that I would have not had before.

That's-- that's fabulous.

Ohh.

I love that.

[RuPaul] Thank you, Rock.

We'll be right back.

[telephone rings]

[RuPaul] ♪ Bring back my girls ♪

Welcome back to RuPaul's Drag Race:
Reunited-- Alone Together.

Next, a queen who knows
how to entertain an audience,

the Widow Von'Du.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Yes, ladykins.

So, Miss Widow, you had your
share of drama this season.

Let's take a look.

-Oh, shit!
-[laughter]

♪ Girls get mad
When they look at these thighs ♪

♪ They rub together like they harmonize ♪

♪ And I'm still servin' looks
When I'm eatin' these fries ♪

[laughter]

Widow Von'Du, you're a winner, baby.

[applause]

Mommy Dearest will be Widow.

I will be Baby Dearest.

-[sighs]
-These fucking bitches.

This ain't RuPaul's Best Friend Race.

At the end of the goddamn day,
it's me, myself, and I.

[RuPaul] You won one challenge.

You haven't won any since.

What was missing from
the infomercial was the joy.

[Widow]
I stayed up till 4:30 in the morning,

and it just feels like
it was all for nothing.

It's really hard for me to be here.

It's hard, the competition's fucking hard,

but don't-- don't do that to yourself.

The payoff is not worth it.
You belong here,

and don't let your saboteur do that.

So now, Widow,

you got down on yourself a lot
during the competition,

um, something that we can all relate to.

But watching it back,
were you able to track

your emotional journey and go, "Oh, shoot,

that's where that-- that sort of
darkness seeped in?"

Oh, I knew exactly when
it started to, like, roll out

because for many of years,

I, you know, hid behind Widow Von'Du.

Like, no one ever saw... Ray

underneath all of the glitz and glam
and the tricks and the splits, you know,

and the hips and the ass.

And so, on the show, I started

seeing what I'd never worked on,

and just not hearing how great I am,

you know, like I do at home.

It was like, "Well, bitch,
maybe you're not that great."

And it just started

getting worse and worse,
and just not having, like,

anyone close to talk to,
'cause I'm not gon' lie,

I didn't open up to anybody, really.

[Nicky]
I can relate to Widow

because we were paired both times
here was a group challenge,

and I think that you and I have, like,

been in our heads a lot,
because, like you said,

you don't know the bitches around you.

You don't know the judges.
You really want to impress them.

And I saw you get in your head a lot,

which sometimes kind of like
affected the group challenge

because you were so,
like Ru said, like, in the darkness.

You were not listening because you didn't

allow yourself to trust your competitors.

I definitely do agree with that,

and, you know, I spent many of--
many of years

just walling off everybody around me.

It took friends many of years to
even know what my real name was.

Have you been able to turn
things around since Drag Race?

I mean, I definitely feel
a thousand times better

now versus, you know,

the last, like, couple of weeks
of me being in the competition,

and, you know, watching it back,

I was like, "Bitch, you did
what you came to do.

You came to show that a big girl
can give you versatility in her looks,

that you can dance, you can twirl,

that you can keep up
with the little skinny girls,

that you can wear whatever
the fuck you want to wear,

and no one's going to change
your mind about it."

-[queens cheer]
-Yes!

So... and literally watching that back,

I was like, no matter what,

winning or losing,
bitch, you were in the room,

and you wore it out.

And now I have a whole
bunch of sisters that

I can call on when things get bad.

Widow, are you still "That Bitch"?

[laughing] Yes, honey!

She is always that bitch.

[laughter]

Bitch, she might be.

Yes, bitch, she might be.

[laughter]

Now, when it came to emotional exits,

nobody cried more than Jan,

and it wasn't even her elimination.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Okay, ladies,
we saw how twisted Jan got

when Brita was sent home.

What was that about?

Heidi, what did you think?

Oh, chile, it was like a typhoon
of emotions.

I feel like it was just
weeks and weeks of buildup.

Just getting told she was safe each week,

I could tell that was really
getting to her,

and then, you know, getting
[whistling] so close to a win.

[Brita] See, I thought that it was because

she wasn't gonna be able to
press the Shade button anymore.

[Jan]
In all her glory!

Gigi, what do you think?

Um, as soon as you said she was safe,

I just immediately looked at her
to see what she was going to do,

and her face went from, like,
a hundred to zero

real quick.

[laughter]

The Jan-saw Massacre.

[RuPaul] All right, so, Jan,

uh, what had happened?

I think that everything that
everyone got to see

was just a pileup of emotion
from the competition.

I was like, this is my challenge.

And when you said my name,

I was like, "Here we go! This is it!"

And then, in a matter of seconds,

it was just a face crack.

And, yeah, I definitely did

cry and was upset about Brita leaving,

but the girls were right, so,
Jaida, Jackie, y'all clocked it.

I definitely was more upset

because I realized, I was like,

I'm a singer. This is what I do.

And if I didn't win not only
the first challenge,

the You Don't Know Me challenge,

but the second Madonna challenge,

why am I here?

But I'm happy that I have
this lovely robe now.

We're capitalizing on it.

There's merch to be found.

-Ha!
-What's next for Jan?

♪ I wanna rule the world ♪

I'm just kidding.

Simply Jan, keep on feeling the Jantasy.

I'm gonna let you Kris Jenner

Welcome back.

We're one week away from crowning

America's next drag superstar.

But right now,

I want to flash back to a time

when we weren't wearing pajamas 24/7.

All right, it's time
for a little game we call

Toot or Boot.

-Whoa!
-[RuPaul] If you love an outfit,

toot it, if you don't, boot it.

Oh.

[RuPaul] First up, Jaida's
balls-to-the-wall extravaganza.

Toot, honey. She is
the richest bitch I know.

Opulence.

As soon as I saw this, I was like,

this bitch is going to make it
all the way to the end.

It's definitely a toot for me.
I loved it because

she brought not only the glamor,

but she also added a little bit
of camp into it,

and that's when I realized as well

that she was a triple threat...
that bitch.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Up next, Aiden's
balls-to-the-wall eleganza.

-Boot.
-[laughter]

[Rock] I feel like the bottom
is missing a lot of blackballs.

Definitely should have been
in the bottom two.

Now, I love my small-town sis,
but this was definitely a boot.

But I love the concept
that she got from Jan,

-that she'd go, Yeah...
-"She got from Jan."

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Up next, Crystal Methyd's

Freddy Krueger for fall.

-Toot!
-So good!

Absolute toot.

[Aiden] I never thought I'd see Freddy
wearing Band-Aids,

but I'm here for it.

This is such a toot, I would
give you name-brand candy

if you came to my door
dressed like this, okay?

Heidi, toot or boot?

Heidi? Heidi?

[toilet flushes]

Oh, my goodness.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] All right, ladies, up next,

Brita's caped look.

[Nicky] I think that for the theme,
the cape was a bit too sheer,

so I would have to toot
the construction of the look,

but boot for the theme.

This is definitely a toot from me,

and I'm so excited to go with Brita

and probably rock to Folsom,
wearing this next year.

-[RuPaul] Ooh.
-[laughter]

All right, up next, Gigi's best
drag prom dress.

This is a Napoleon Dyn-o-mite.

Gigi, you look so good!

It's a toot, Ru, it's a toot.

I'm gonna give this a shoot.

This is, like, so good.

Girls like a silhouette.

Everything is, like, spot-on,

and then it's like
the comedy in there. It's just,

everything is perfect.

And finally, Heidi's Michelle Visage look.

-Yes!
-[RuPaul] Toot or boot?

Sis, I love it, but it's gonna
be a boot for me.

-But I-- but I love you.
-Ha!

But if it's a boot,
it's a tall, nice boot.

[Jackie] Honestly, I think
it was because of this outfit

that I wasn't in the bottom
two this episode!

-But...
-You're welcome!

-[Jackie] But...
-You're welcome!

I went on Michelle Visage's Poshmark,

and I bought the TOWIE dress

from this runway.

This is the one she actually wore,

and it is for you, Heidi! I love you!

Oh, my God!

-Thank you!
-For you!

-For you!
-For you!

-And you!
-[RuPaul] Jackie,

what does it smell like?

Uh, it smells like New Jersey,

which is like poppers and regret.

[laughter]

Now, according to my cousin Stringbean,

who has a friend who works
over at the post office

with them good-ass benefits,

they said reading

in America has increased by some 369%

in the past two months,
proving once again

that reading is what?

[all] Fundamental.

[laughter]

That's right, baby, so,

in the great tradition
of Paris Is Burning,

the virtual library is open.

First up, Brita.

Okay, here we go, chile.

All right, Aiden Zhane,

I'm really sorry
how I treated you all season,

but I was just preparing you

for how Patricia Quinn would treat you

after the Snatch Game.

[laughter]

Oh, my God.

Okay, all right.

And that brings me to Dahlia.

You sure do talk a big game for
someone who came in 13th place

on a 12-person season!

[laughter]

Baby girl, I lasted more
episodes than you did,

thanks to broccoli, baby.

[laughter]

Next up, Aiden Zhane.
The library's open, darling.

Brita, you really do need the filter

with all of that spit coming
out of your mouth.

-Oh!
-[Aiden] But, you know,

if being a drag queen doesn't work out,

you can find a career
as a sprinkler system.

[laughter]

All right, Gigi Goode, it's your turn!

-Miss Jackie Cox.
-Hi.

[Gigi] You are so supportive.

I can always count on you
for a shoulder to cry on

and a face to file my nails on.

[laughter]

And as for you, Crystal Methyd,

I wish I knew how to quit you.

[laughter]

Up next, Nicky Doll.

Crystal,
it is scientifically proven

that eating heaters kills brain cells.

Every time you try to explain
and follow your thoughts,

we just hears the sea.

And I thought I was hard to understand.

Don't worry, you guys, I put everything

into Google Translate,
and it came out funny.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] All right, Crystal.

Jan, do you have a condom I can borrow?

I know you're always safe.

[laughter]

That was a good one. That was a good one.

Heidi, you have got to be
loving this social distancing

because you look best
from at least six feet away.

[laughter]

You never looked better.

I agree with that one! I agree!

[RuPaul] Jaida.

Although we're locked down
on quarantine, y'all,

don't worry about
running out of toilet paper.

If you do need anything
to just wipe up with,

you can always grab Heidi's cape look.

[laughter]

I got yo' ass when I see you next time.

[laughter]

The Widow Von'Du,
assume the position, darling.

Crystal Methyd.

You the prettiest girl
on the planet...

of the apes.

[laughter]

Yes, bitch, she might be!

[laughter]

Gigi Goode.

I bet R. Kelly wouldn't even piss on you.

-[laughter]
-Oh, my God!

[laughter]

Okay, that is quite enough, ladies.

The library is officially closed

until the governor says we can reopen.

All right, now, ladies, last call--

is there anything you still

want to get off your padded chests?

Rock, you had your hand up.

Yes, um, this one's for Jaida.

Yes, oh, God.

Jaida, I do not understand

why I was not the Bad Apple,

why you couldn't just
let me have that role, Jaida.

-[nervous laughter]
-[Jaida] Um...

Orange you glad you chose the orange?

[laughter]

Don't joke with me right now!
I'm not joking, bitch!

-[gasps]
-[Jaida] Rock, I cannot believe

you are still mad about a damn apple.

Obviously, the Del Rio Trio
should have won that challenge.

[Nicky] You need to move on!
This is bullshit.

[Aiden] Brita, you beat me in a lip-sync.
I don't know why you're so angry still!

[Brita] Aiden, you can take
those wigs, girl, I'm over it!

[overlapping shouting]

Dahlia, I can't believe you said
I should have been in the bottom!

[Dahlia] I want my pink shirt back!

What?

[RuPaul laughs]

[Jan, impersonating Heidi] At the end
of the day, it doesn't fucking matter.

-Fuck you, fuck you...
-[Widow] Christ, you're at this again?

-[overlapping shouts]
-Mm, it's gettin' juicy.

All right.

Takin' my bear, and I'm leavin'.

[Gig] Crystal, I just wanna say to you
that I miss you....

-[shouting continues]
-This is Season 12, bitch.

-I'm done.
-Bye!

Look over there.

We'll be right back.

[RuPaul] Now, Gigi Goode, Crystal Methyd.

I don't have to tell you,
the Internet is filled

with Drag Race conspiracy theories,

and your on-camera kiss

has fans claiming you two are dating.

So, to clear the air,
is that fact or fiction?

Whoo!

[laughs] Well, um...

you know, Ru,
you know just as well as I do

that that mullet can really
do something to you.

[laughter]

[Gigi] I know you know.
Don't pretend you don't. Um...

before we give
the official answer, Crystal,

do you want to say anything?

I mean, I don't know if this is,
like, the right time...

I think that there's always
a little bit of fact

in the fiction, you know?

-[laughter]
-Werk.

Some "faction"?

I did notice a little canoodling
in the back of that van.

Ohh!

We were sharing fruit snacks.

[laughter]

Is that what they call it nowadays?

Now, RuPaul's Drag Race

has been bringing families
together since 2009.

Now I want to find out
how your kinfolk are doing.

Now, Dahlia Sin, is your
twin brother doing drag yet?

Um, he's definitely been
practicing his face.

Uh, he's bought his pads already, girl.

He's bought his stockings already.

He's bought him some wigs.

I mean, I guess he's starting drag.

Well, actually, Dahlia, we do

on the lookout for him.

Now, Jackie, in your One-Woman Show,

you talk about your relationship
with your mom.

How is she?

You know, as I mentioned
on the show, she's having--

she's been having health issues,

so she's in total isolation right now.

Um, but luckily,
prior to everything happening

with the quarantine, I visited her

to actually share that I'm a drag queen

and that I was gonna be
on national television.

Um... uh... eh...

it was a very scary conversation to have.

She kind of thought
for a minute, and then she said,

"You know, I've almost died now,
and nothing scares me.

And if this is something
that you want to do,

and you're good at it,
then you should go do it."

Oh, that is fabulous.

-I love that.
-[RuPaul] That is great.

You know, in fact, this lovely woman,

she sent us a note,

and I'm gonna read it to you.

"Hello, I'm Darius's mom,

and I'm well aware of his
participation in your TV show,

and I'm extremely happy for his success.

Without any doubt or reservations,

he would be successful
on any path he chose,

but his passion for the performing arts

was way above any other profession.

Darius, I'm very proud
and supportive of you.

I wish you happiness and success.

I'm overjoyed, and lucky to be your mom.

I love you, my darling son."

Wow. What do you think, Jackie?

[softly] Ohh.

Um, I guess it's never too late, you know,

and people can change,
and people can grow,

and I'm so proud of my mom, um, for...

for going on this journey with me

when it's something that
she's never experienced

or understood, and...

it makes me feel a little more whole.

That's great.

Well, ladies, I'm afraid our
family therapy session is over,

but we will resume where we
left off, same time next week.

[RuPaul] ♪ Bring back my girls ♪

Welcome back to
RuPaul's Drag Race: Reunited.

Now, here's some extra special,
never-before-seen footage

of our extra special guest judges.

[Rock] If we're signing stuff,
can you sign my ugly dress?

Girl, that dress ain't ugly,

you just need to cut that
bullshit off at the end.

-[laughter]
-And this goddamn cat shit, like--

like a cat fucking came
and just fucked you!

[laughter]

[queens] Yeah!

I just signed a titty!

-[happy shouts]
-Yes!

I promise not to say
"fuck" in front of you.

Oh, you can! I'm from New York!

-[laughter]
-[Nicky] Oh, my God.

You know, she doesn't just get cute, Jeff,

she gets drop-dead gorgeous.

[Jeff] She doesn't just get cute,

-she gets drop-dead gorgeous.
-Dead gorgeous.

♪ Drop dead gorgeous ♪

I'm not familiar with that song.
That's a song?

-I just made it up.
-Oh.

♪ Drop-dead... ♪

[Crystal] Oh, Lord.

♪ ...gorgeous ♪

You're gonna be fine. Let me hug you.

[laughter]

I will get to tell everyone at
the next Star Trek convention

that I got to hug Guinan
from the Ten Forward Lounge!

-[RuPaul laughs]
-[Whoopi] Yes. Hi, baby.

She plays this character on this starship.

I know, yes.

She's hundreds and hundreds of years old,

and looks 25 and knows everything.

That's right. And here you thought
it was a character I was playing.

[laughter]

There's a lot going on
around the hands and stuff.

You know, in fourth grade,
my mother dressed me up in drag.

-What?
-As a witch...

to come to the Halloween Day,

but I had half gloves like that
with fake fingertips,

with big, long talon nails.

I just was going around, like,
poking other children,

and, you know, pushing them.

Anyway, that sort of reminds me of that.

[laughter]

Next time, if it doesn't work,
fuck it, try something else.

Tell about your buck-naked
cousin Filomeno,

who was out milkin' donkeys.

Can you milk a donkey, Whoopi?

Yes, if you pull hard enough.

-[Michelle] Uh-huh.
-[Whoopi] Yes.

Y'all are way in my business
right now, aren't you?

-[laughter]
-Yes!

Thank you, and apologies, Whoopi.

My donkey is parked right outside.

-[laughter]
-Oh, Lord.

And now,
a final check with our top three queens.

Ladies, what has this season meant to you?

First up, the charismatic, Crystal Methyd.

But first, Crystal, are you
still holding that candlestick?

I've been holding it the whole time!
My arm is so tired!

[laughter]

What has this season
meant to you, Crystal?

This season has been so incredible.

I feel honored, um, to have
made it to the top three,

especially with all these
amazing competitors.

I feel like our season really,

each of us brings something
totally different to the table,

and I am excited to represent

for all the crazy, weird kids.

[chuckles]

And don't forget the DeBarge family!

[laughter]

Next up, the totally unique, Gigi Goode.

What has this season meant to you?

Obviously, just getting on
Drag Race has meant the world,

but being on this specific
season has meant a lot to me

because it's like this season is full of--

and, like, I don't remember
who said it before,

but it's basically a season of all-stars.

You know, it's-- everyone is so talented,

and I'm so honored to be a part of this

super-talented cast of girls.

Speak for yourself.

[laughter]

And now a queen with beaucoup nerve,

Jaida Essence Hall-- same question.

-Hey!
-Yes, beaucoup.

I think that, um,
this season meant a lot to me

because I feel like, like I said
before a million times,

I'm a bitch of the bitches,
and so I know, um,

how it feels to, like, work and grind

in a career for a very long time.

And it's like, you can dream things,

and, no matter where you come from,

no matter what your background,
no matter what you've been through...

-dreams can come true.
-Amen!

[RuPaul] Thank you, Jaida.

And top three, when it comes
to putting the "T" in talent,

you are all winners.

Now, ladies, I want to hear
from the eliminated queens,

who are you rooting for, and why?

I am gonna have to say... Jaida.

Um, we just know what type
of bitch she is.

We know she's at home
bathing in Rolexes already,

so why doesn't she just put
a crown on that head, too?

Wait, a Rolex is a watch, right?

-[laughter]
-[Jackie] Yes!

All right, maybe I need
to rethink my answer.

All of them are so deserving
and so unique,

and absolutely incredible, but, uh,

I think because...

[chuckles] just, I-- I've seen her excel

in all of the challenges

that I have wanted to win,

I think Gigi is the one
who I would go for.

-[laughter]
-Thanks, Jan.

Maybe one in particular.

[laughter]

[Widow]
Now, I love you other two bitches a lot.

I love y'all, but I gotta choose
my homegirl from Missouri...

-Miss Crystal Methyd.
-[Nicky] Amen!

-Yes!
-[Nicky] Amen!

Like I said at the beginning,
everybody's gonna look at her weird,

and now the fucking world understands her.

No one holds a candle to you, Crystal.

-[laughter]
-[Heidi] Yes!

[laughter]

Now, next week, for the first
time in herstory,

our top three queens
will lip-sync for the crown

from the comfort of their own homes,

and there will be a total
of five-- count 'em, five--

lip-sync songs.

I told you, it's gonna be
anybody's game to win.

So, fans, let me know,

who do you think should be
America's next Drag Superstar?

Are you Team Crystal,

Team Gigi,

or Team Jaida?

Let your voice be heard,
and we'll see you in one week

at the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race,

where we will crown ourselves
a winner, baby.

-[queen] Whoo!
-[RuPaul] Until then,

stay safe, be kind to each other,

and remember, if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell you gon'
love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

[all] Amen.

All right! Now let the music play.
