in the Hollywood Hills,

it's RuPaul!

Hello, hello, hello.

Welcome to the RuPaul's
Drag Race grand finale,

brought to you by filters.

Filters-- they keep a quarantine
queen looking good.

[music playing]

[laughs]

Now, after one of the most
enter-taint-ing seasons in herstory,

tonight we gather virtually

to crown America's next drag superstar.

Now, extraordinary times
call for extraordinary measures,

and I want to applaud all the queens

for pitching in like never before
to ensure that this show must go on.

[laughter]

I also want to send my love and gratitude

to the amazing crew of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Out of caution for everyone's safety,

we are all working from home tonight.

I miss each and every one of you,

but I gotta tell ya, who I really miss...

are the grips! [chuckles]

You should have seen me trying to assemble
this green screen all by myself!

-Whoof!
-[cat screeches]

But it was worth it because tonight

it's all about our top three queens,

Crystal Methyd,

Gigi Goode,

and Jaida Essence Hall.

All three of these ladies
are already legendary children,

but only one can win the crown.

Tonight, America's next drag superstar

will need to survive
three competitive lip-syncs.

First, a three-way closeup lip-sync

where they serve face-face-face.

The second, a lip-sync from home

where each queen
has chosen a different song

to express themselves in a performance

they've produced in lockdown.

And finally, I'll choose
the top two queens

to lip-sync for the crown

as they perform side by side,
but thousands of miles apart.

Now, watching from home tonight

are my sequestered squirrel friends.

She's holed up with her husband,
Michelle Visage.

Hey, baby!

You know, as they say, any hole is a goal.

[chuckles]

Sending you greetings from Camp Visage

with me, the hubby,
the daughter, the dogs.

-[sharp gasp]
-[Michelle] Doin' nothin'.

Here we are.

The hilarious Ross Matthews.

Hi, you guys! Welcome
to my "homo sweet homo."

[chuckles]

You know, I've watched all
of Season 12, like, 47 times.

"Gay's Anatomy" really holds up.

[chuckles] Oh, really?

[dog whimpers]

Yeah, fine. I'll tell you. Sorry.

Audrey thinks Jan was robbed
in the Madonna challenge.

-[RuPaul chuckles]
-[dog whimpers]

I told him!

And style superstar, Carson Kressley.

Cheers, Ru! Greetings from Pennsylvania.

Hi-yee!

-Ha--
-[RuPaul] Carson?

Carson!

I think your screen is frozen, darling.

Is your-- Is your connection okay?

Oh, no, Ru, that's just my face.

I did a little homemade Botox,
but it turned out it was poppers.

Oh! [laughs]

Thanks for noticing.

Thanks, guys. We'll be
checking in with you a little later.

Now, to all the fans who've been
binging this season

in record numbers,
I have one thing to say...

thank you.

RuPaul's Drag Race has helped me
while I've been self-isolating

by giving me both an escape

but also connecting me with the world.

I've been watching RuPaul's
Drag Race in quarantine

just like everyone else,
and it just makes me feel good

every time.

Watching Drag Race in self-isolation
has, first of all, made me smile a lot

and made me forget about
how sad some of this felt.

I love you, Ru!

[Daniel] I loved watching Drag Race
this season,

because it taught me that,
even if we're sequestered

and isolated from the outside public,
we can still be fabulous!

Being in quarantine was nuts, and...

it really helped to watch a lot of nuts.

Ru, thank you for the show,
thank you for this excuse

to get dolled up for the first time

since giving birth about six weeks ago,

and for the excuse to show off
my pornographically large breasts,

which are filled with milk.

Oh, yeah.

♪ Ohh ohh ♪

♪ Back to ya ♪

And now, let's all say
this next part together...

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win.

[engine revving]

[RuPaul] The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race

receives a one-year supply

of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics

and a cash prize of $100,000!

-[tires screech]
-[RuPaul giggles]

Hey, this is Whoop,

and I'm sending this message to everybody

over at RuPaul's Drag Race.

As an entertainer, there are times

when we are really,
really, really necessary,

where it just-- Nobody can
do it better than we can.

I think this is one of those times,
and America needs her queens.

America needs her queens

to remind them how to social distance,

how to wash their hands,

but with a little flair
and a little humor and a little love.

Hang in there. I know you will.

I'd hate to think of a world
without y'all.

Aww... Thank you, Whoopi.

-[drums playing]
-[RuPaul laughs]

-[camera clicks]
-And now it's time to do a deep dive

into the charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent

of our top three queens.

Now, prior to tonight,
I had a one-on-one chat

with my very best girls.

First up, the kooky
and charismatic Crystal Methyd.

[comical music playing]

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Who's ready to party and play?

I'm Crystal Methyd,

and I'm a little devil that likes
to raise hell in the Bible Belt.

[Michelle] One-two,
fashion's comin' for you.

[Crystal] I make a lot
of my own drag myself.

Love to create weird and unique looks.

[RuPaul] You're freaky, you're fun.

You are El Motherfuckin' DeBarge.

Business in the front
and party in the back!

Whoa! Thanks, magic mullet!

♪ In an artist's career ♪

[laughter]

Do the jerk!

[laughter]

[Ross] You have had a pivot
in this competition

where you've really gone all-in
on your weird,

which is, by the way,
how you win this show.

[Crystal] I have worked my way
from the bottom

to a consistent top in this competition.

I feel like I can do anything!

♪ I'll have you all screaming
"Crystal Methyd!" ♪

[RuPaul laughs]

Wow. Hello, Crystal Methyd.

Well, hi, Ru.

[El DeBarge] ♪ Feel the beat
Of the rhythm of the night ♪

[laughs]

Now, is it just me,
or do you also hear that song

every time I say your name?

It follows me everywhere I go!

[both laugh]

People have been telling me
when you search "El DeBarge"

that I show up.

It is absolutely crazy.

Now, Crystal,
you earned your way to the top

by doing something
most queens struggle with--

you applied the judges' critiques.

[Crystal] Yeah. I definitely tried
to make sure I was listening,

but keeping what makes me, me

in all of it.
I'm glad I was challenged in that way

because now I feel like
I'm even more capable

of creating all kinds of magic.

Now, your mom and dad sent us this
extra special video message.

[both] Hi, RuPaul!

Thank you for choosing Crystal to be
on your show, and perhaps be

the next America's drag superstar.

Cody, we're proud to be your parents.

I remember when you first
told us that you were gay,

which took us by surprise.

I can still hear your dad sayin',
"I'm not going to lose my son,

like so many other families have.
He's still Cody."

Remember, we are your greatest fans.

[Dad] Nana records your shows

and has your aunt
translate what you're saying.

You keep reaching for the stars

and don't settle
for anything less, Crystal.

All your hard work has paid off.

Ohh, wow!

-That was so sweet!
-That is so sweet,

and they're so gorgeous and glamorous.

I know. Isn't my mom fabulous?

She is fabulous.
She had the girls out, didn't she?

She's always got those girls out.

[laughing]

Hey, listen, if you've got it, flaunt it.

Yeah! I mean, she paid good money for 'em!

[laughing]

-So, how is your dad doing?
-Um, he's doing really good.

You know, it's a really hard
thing that he's going through,

with Parkinson's.

He's just slowly over time
been losing mobility.

He-- He actually just bought
a huge brand-new truck,

so that before he's unable to drive,

he can live out this last
bit of time in luxury.

[RuPaul laughs] Hold on one second.

This just in. Breaking news--

we have another video message,

and this one's from your abuela.

[laughs]

Hello, Crystal. Hello, RuPaul.

When he was young, I always saw
him as intelligent and imaginative.

Crystal, your grandmother is very proud
of you for being in the show.

I wish you luck and keep progressing
on your show.

I don't speak Spanish,
but I think your grandmother said,

"I love glitter." Was I close?

I believe that's what it
translated to, yes. [laughs]

And it was just my grandma's
90th birthday.

You are kidding me!

Yeah. She's incredible.

Now, your abuela had her girls out too.

It's a family tradition.

To have the girls out,

and to wear all-cheetah print
and all the jewelry. Yeah.

[laughs] Now, you have your girls out too.

Is that your real body hair
underneath that,

or is that just printed on the fabric?

Um, it-- it's printed on the fabric,

and then there's some yarn sewn in.
I've even got some in here.

Oh, my goodness!

[RuPaul laughs]

Now, uh, to win the crown,

you're gonna have to perform
three lip-syncs from your home.

So, what is your strategy
to slay the lip-sync?

Um, I'm gonna do
what Crystal Methyd does best.

I'm gonna be weird, I'm gonna be funny,

um, and I'm just gonna serve you
all the emotions of the songs.

Now, Crystal, I always say that we have
a lot of young, sweet, sensitive souls

who watch our show
for guidance and inspiration.

With them in mind,

what advice do you have
for your younger self, little Cody?

[laughs] Ohh, little cutie!

Um, Cody, just know that as you grow up,

you're gonna realize that you're
kind of different from the other kids.

Don't be scared by that.

Embrace it and know
that what makes you different

is what makes you so incredibly special.

Do not try and hide from it,

and know that your family
will always be behind you 100%,

no matter what.

And your mom knows
that you go into her closet

and try on her clothes.
You're not fooling anyone!

[RuPaul laughs]

So, Crystal, tell me this--
what would it mean to you

to be crowned America's
next drag superstar?

Ru, I want to turn drag on its head.

I want to create looks that are so bizarre

that people don't even know if it's drag.

Drag has always been about
pushing boundaries, um,

and I think that my drag is doing that.

And I think that is why I am
America's next drag superstar.

All right. She's DeBarge and in charge.

-Crystal Methyd.
-[Crystal giggles]

-Thank you, darling.
-Thank you!

You know, there's a lot of
conflama in the world today,

but let's not forget about all
the good that people are doing,

serving gratitude with a little attitude.

It's the queens of Season 12.

Welcome back to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race,

where tonight we'll be crowning
America's next drag superstar.

Up next, when it comes
to her many talents,

this queen is unapologetic.

Here she is, Ms. Gigi Goode.

Ahoy.

My name is Gigi Goode, and I am
not just good, I am incredible.

[Michelle] Where's Gigi Bad?

[man] Mmm, that's what I want to know.

[Gigi] Fashion means everything to me.

I see my drag going
to the cover of Vogue, period.

This look... perfection.

Is that my new competition
in the modeling world?

-[laughter]
-Oh, my God!

So what is like, your specialty?

-Name something.
-[queen] Ooh!

-[Rock] She does it all.
-Bitch, okay.

I think the first impression
of me is going to be,

"Oh, God, here's another fashion queen.

No personality, no humor."

How do you make a robot funny?

-I understand your concern...
-Uh-huh.

-But I do not have the same concern.
-[RuPaul] Okay.

All right.

What's up, bitch?

[laughter]

Come on then!

She needs a face transplant, stat.

Literally, I would steal that line.
Like, that's a real rap line.

[judges laughing]

You've got gorgeous out here,
and a weird little mind in there.

[man] You sold every moment
of your performance.

You were just living
what you were singing.

You weren't just good, you were great.

♪ I'm just here to win
And leave a bitch on "read" ♪

[RuPaul] Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my gosh!

-[Gigi chuckles]
-Hello, Ms. Goode.

Oh! What's up, bitch?

Ha! It's like looking in a mirror.

I know! Come on, Miss Daytona Beach.

So, what's a nice girl like you
doing in a place like this?

-Top three, bitches!
-I... I--

Well, you know what?
I can't say that I am surprised.

-Um...
-[RuPaul laughs]

I am so proud of myself
for making it here,

and I worked my ass off to get here. So...

You're very confident. Where--
where does that come from?

It's... confidence to me
is something I-- I cherish

because a lot of people
can mistake confidence for cockiness,

and, um, I-- I like to believe

that I was raised in a way to stay humble

but still be proud of everything
that I put out into the world.

And I know that you live
in Los Angeles now,

but when you were in high school,

you were living
in the Midwest, is that correct?

That is correct.
I was livin' in Woodstock, Illinois,

which, if you've seen
the movie Groundhog Day

with Bill Murray,
that's where that was filmed.

So, there weren't really
any venues to perform,

um, other than,
like, a substance-free venue

that doubled as an indoor rock wall.

[laughs]

I been climbing up and down those walls
since I was 15 years old, Mama.

Now, Gigi, if your mom had a nickel

for every time she was
mentioned by you on the show,

she'd have a million dollars.

Well, tonight she sent you
this very extra special message.

Let's take a look.

Hi, Gigi, I'm here in my sewing room,

and I'm just so excited
you're on the finale

-of RuPaul's Drag Race.
-Oh, my gosh.

From the minute you walked
into the Werk Room,

I was just blown away.

And to see you in that pirate outfit,

something that I made for you,
was just so special.

You've done a phenomenal job,

and to RuPaul,
I just want to say thank you

for giving my child
a chance to express themselves

in a way that they were truly meant to,
and for helping other people

show how they can be creative
in so many unique ways.

So, good luck, Gigi.
Bring home the crown, and I love you.

-Oh, my goodness! Thank you, Mother Goode!
-Oh, my God.

I-- I wish every child

could have someone as supportive
as your mother.

I have been so lucky
to have her in my life,

and I just wanna preach it.

Now, Gigi, you are a huge inspiration

to so many of our very young,
impressionable fans.

With that in mind, what words
of wisdom do you have

for little Samuel?

-Oh, my gosh.
-[RuPaul laughs]

You are so blessed to have

the people around you that you have,

um, but...

your dad...

It's gonna-- it's not gonna be easy.

Um, with him, he's not gonna
understand what you're doing,

what you wanna do, and...

there's gonna be times where he's--

he doesn't want to look at you,
dressed the way that you're dressed,

and he doesn't want to understand, um,

but there will come a time

when he will say that he's proud of you.

And...

um...

when that moment happens, it's going to...

offer, you know, a rope

that you can pull to one another
and finally reconnect.

And then you have your mom.

She's always been by your side,
every step of the way.

A lot of kids are not as lucky as you are,

so, just remember to say thank you

and, um, tell everyone
around you that you love them.

Wise words, especially in these, uh...
crazy times we're living in.

So, Gigi, to snatch the crown tonight,

you're gonna need to lip-sync from home.

-What's your home space like?
-Um, it's pretty cramped,

so it's been a struggle to turn the space

into what I'm doing
for my lip-sync-at-home number,

which is actually very heavily inspired

by the original music video for this song.

I am so lucky to be able

to do this for the world
and really just...

I've created a goddamn fantasy,
and y'all don't even know it's coming.

Oh, boy!
So, Gigi, what would it mean to you

to be crowned America's
next drag superstar?

Oh, gosh.

Okay, well, that there
is a loaded question, Ms. Paul.

[laughs]

Um... to me,
it's-- it's not an option not to win,

and-- and, you know,

if the crown ends up going
to one of my other sisters,

I'm-I'm-I'm happy for them,

but I know that I have been
able to deliver

in every single category
that a drag race superstar

has to-- to give.

And I know that's a bold statement,

and I know it comes back
to-- to whether it's humble or cocky,

but I'm bringing it back to confidence.

This crown belongs to me.

Gigi Goode, you are one bad bitch.

Thank you for an incredible season.

Thank you so much.
I really, really do want to thank you

from the bottom of my heart.

-Thanks, Gigi.
-Thank you, Ru!

Love your facekini.

Up next, a queen who delivers
grit, glitz, and glamour,

Jaida Essence Hall. Take a look.

Hey, bitches!

She's here!

I'm Jaida Essence Hall,
the essence of beauty.

[man] She's gonna put somebody's
eyes out with those things.

[Jaida] For me,
drag is exuding feminine energy,

and I'm here to slay the competition.

Mmm! What a delight!

[Jaida] Growing up,
I always loved fashion and

I never thought that I would have the
chance to do it, and when I found drag,

I'm like, oh, my God, I can do everything
that I've always wanted to do.

Now, I know what you're thinking--

"Damn, she looks snatched!"
And you're right.

I have deemed myself
"trade of the season."

♪ Because I'm what? ♪

[whip cracks]

♪ Whip smart ♪

I think you're so friggin' funny, bitch.

Look over there!

-Where?
-[snickers]

You are stunning. So polished.

I don't think I've ever met anybody
that is a perfectionist in their heads

but has so much heart.

[Michelle] Every single week,
we see another layer peeled away,

and we see more and more Jaida.

Over the course of the competition,
I've grown.

It pushes you to be a better entertainer,

and, like, coming off of this,

baby, she's gonna be like
Wonder Woman times ten.

I'm ready for it.

♪ That's how Mother Dear
Will slay the competition ♪

Jaida Essence Hall,
you look like Diana Ross

on the Eaten Alive album cover!

Thank you. That wouldn't be
a bad thing right now.

[RuPaul] No, not a bad thing at all.

Listen, how did you fight your way
into the top three?

Growing up where I grew up in Milwaukee,

probably one of the worst
neighborhoods in the city...

um...

it was one of those things
where you had to fight

for everything that you wanted,
no matter what it was.

Even for me coming from a place
that was so hard

to grow up in, and so, um...
so rough,

it made me a better competitor
in so many other aspects of my life.

So, Jaida, how has your family

reacted to you appearing on Drag Race?

It's so crazy. My mother is
always at work usually,

and she's, like,
telling everybody at her job, like,

"This is my son," and she's, like,
pulling up all these pictures of me.

And then, when I had the first
viewing party, um,

my second oldest brother and my father,
they came to the viewing party.

And it was so crazy because when you
announced that I had won the challenge,

my brother and my father started to cry.

Oh, wow.

Well, it's time for the worldwide
television debut

of your brother John
and Papa Essence Hall.

Take a look.

All right, Jaida, I just thought I'd
send a little encouragement your way.

You have everything working in your favor.

You're smart, you're creative,

you're courageous,
you're talented, you're funny,

you're extremely passionate.

Let's complete the mission
and go out there and win that crown.

I love you, bro.

Uh, personally speaking,
I'd just like to let you know, Jared,

that you doin' a helluva job,

and I wish-- I wish--
your grandmother was here

and your Auntie Toni was here...

-Oh, my God.
-...to see what you was doin'.

I'm pretty sure they lookin'
down at you right now

thinkin', you know, you doin' your thing
and just keep doin' what you're doin'.

-[RuPaul] Oh, my goodness.
-Oh, my God.

-They've got the Essence all right!
-[Jaida] Oh, my God.

[RuPaul]
My goodness!

Now, so if your grandmother
were watching us right now,

what would you want to say to her?

I would want to tell my grandmother,
thank you so much for...

being the first person to accept me
for who I was even though...

I didn't even know who I was then...

I get emotional always talkin' about her,
but she was like

this super glamorous woman all the time.

I watched Gone With The Wind with her.
I watched Casablanca with her.

Her favorite actress was Elizabeth Taylor.

So, the way that I built my drag character
is, in a lot of ways, that fantasy

that me and her shared from those movies

and all of that, and... [voice breaks]

I get to live that every single time
I get in drag.

Every single time that I step--
step onto stage in drag,

I get to live this glamorous fantasy.

I get to live, um... out all
the opportunities I don't get to share

with my grandmother now.

Thank you, Grandma,
for inspiring this child

with the old, beautiful movies
from the '40s,

and fashion and aesthetics,

and it makes such a difference
when we have

that kind of support in our lives.

-Yeah.
-Now, Jaida,

it's time for you to chat
with your younger self.

-Oh, gosh.
-[RuPaul] What words of wisdom

do you have for little Jared?

First of all, bitch,
you have sickening skin.

[RuPaul laughs]

Um, you will go through a lot in life.

You will have a lot of people
who won't like you,

um, because you're different.

So many times,
things that you think are for you,

you won't receive,

but those things are only there
to make you stronger in the end.

And also...

I love you.

I love you so much,

and remember that--
remember to love yourself

no matter what you face in life.

The way you feel about yourself
is just as important

as the way other people feel about you.

Yeah. Very wise words.

I hate crying.

[laughs] The tears of a drag queen.
[laughs]

Now, let's talk about tonight's lip-syncs.

You and your boyfriend live
in a very small apartment.

Is that correct?

-Yeah, it's tiny. Tiny, tiny.
-So...

Did you clear out all the furniture?

Girl, maybe she's gon'
dance across the couch.

Maybe she's gon', um,
tap-dance on the table.

Whatever I have to do.

Above all, she's a performer,
and she's gon' make it work.

So, Jaida, what does it mean to you
to become

America's next drag superstar?

[exhales deeply]
Like I said in my political debate,

I'm a bitch of the bitches
for the bitches.

-[laughs]
-Like, I know, um,

I know how it is to, like, grind so hard

and so many times be told no,
and it will give me a validation that,

Bitch, you know what your craft is.
You know what you're doing.

You're in the right place
at the right time for the right reasons.

[RuPaul]
Yes. I hear ya.

So, Jaida, in closing,
I have one thing to say:

Look over there!

-[RuPaul laughs]
-Where?

-[laughter continues]
-She gets me every time!

Me too! [laughs]

Thank you so much, Ru!

Thank you, Jaida Essence Hall.

[hums, chuckles]

We'll be right back after this.

♪ Hey, kitty girl ♪

Welcome back to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Now, the lockdown hasn't been
easy on anyone,

but one queen could always find a...

[whistling sibilance] ...silver lining.

Check out this stuck-at-home video

sent to us from Heidi,
still in the closet.

Take a look.

Good evening, good morning, good morrow.

It's me, Heidi N Closet,

with a PSA for all you people out there.

[male narrator] Heidi's Guide to...

[whistling sibilance]
...social distancing.

Now, during these crazy quarantine times,

I need you to make sure
that you're staying safe and healthy,

as well as soft and...
[whistling sibilance] supple.

Wash yo' hands, please!

We gon' get you some nice, warm water.

Little bit of water, just to get it goin'.

I think the word is "mall-i-able."

What I always do is say my motto--

Fuck you, fuck you,
fuck you, and fuck you!

I'm goin' with Heidi, okay?

And then you dry your hands.

[male narrator] Safe socialization.

Hey, Mr. Garbageman!

Ooh, you lookin' cute today!

Hello, Nicki Minaj?

It's me, Young Gappy.

Oh, hey, Mrs. Johnson, girl.

No, no, you can stay over there.

How the hell did I get yo' number?

Girl-- Girl, don't worry 'bout
how I got your number.

Girl, I got sources and stuff.

On yo' side of the property line,
Mrs. Johnson.

That's not social distancing.

Mm. Oh, you gon' block me.

[sharply] No!

[male narrator] Home entertainment.

What I do while in quarantine

is I try to break in all my new shoes.

I'm just tryin' to--
I'm tryin' to break 'em in

so I can start-- start dancin' in 'em.

[playful shriek]
No, no. No, no. No, no, no.

Heidi, you're the winner
of this week's challenge.

-Now say it like you mean it!
-[sighs]

Just break 'em in.

-You cheated!
-I did not!

-You did cheat!
-I did not!

Any questions? Concerns?

Yes, you, with no arms.

[man] You are the winner
of this week's challenge.

[euphoric shrieks]

Can I take this off, please?

Now, I can't stress enough,

please, do not put
disinfectant on yo' body.

What I do recommend is...

tears of a drag queen.

-[comical weeping]
-[thunder rumbles]

Thank you, Heidi.

Does anyone need to check on her?

Um... I don't know.

Now the time has come
for our first lip-sync round of the night,

the closeup lip-sync.

I'm looking for my top three
to connect with the song,

convey the emotion, and serve realness

using just their faces.

Let's go.

Three queens sit before me.

Prior to tonight, you were asked
to prepare a lip-sync performance

of my new single, "Bring Back My Girls."

Crystal.

Gigi.

Jaida.

Assume the position.

The time has come...

for you to lip-sync... for the crown!

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

[cheers and applause]

Thank you, ladies.

It's good to see you've all been flossing!

The judges will be sharing
their critiques shortly.

Now, late last year,
we lost a beloved member

of the Drag Race family.

Jacqueline Wilson passed away

shortly after we completed
filming Season 12.

She loved her queens,

and we still love her.

[man] Jacqueline was most definitely
the soul of Drag Race.

Jacqueline really, really,
really loved the show,

and you could tell
in everything that she did.

One of the best parts
of being on the show was

getting to work with her.

She was an amazing,
an amazing, amazing person.

A very strong, inspiring, direct,

Emmy Award-winning black female producer.

She was so passionate about drag.

She loved getting to work
on RuPaul's Drag Race ,

and she took so much pride that
she'd been working on it since Season 2.

Jacqueline's job
was to essentially tell our story.

And any of those moments
that you see queens sitting down

talking to that person
on the other side of the camera,

oftentimes that's Jacqueline.

For me, that was Jacqueline.

Ms. Jacqueline was my story producer
on Season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race.

We laughed, we cried.
She was my mother, she was my therapist.

[Jacqueline] Great job.

Thanks.

[Jacqueline] I'm glad you're sticking up
for yourself and you're not

letting it get in your head
and letting it defeat you.

On my final day after my elimination,

she got out of her chair
and insisted I give her a big hug,

and when I was not hugging her
hard enough,

she insisted I squeeze her harder.

She changed my world so drastically.

She just really cared.

She was my rock for my season.
She always had encouraging words for me,

and kept me grounded
and level-headed, and...

And looked like that doing it!

And looked like that doing it!

Could have walked down the runway
at any given moment.

...at any given moment!

[Bob] Jacqueline was a fashion icon
in the Drag Race world.

Honey, if Jacqueline's going to an event,

call the newspapers

because she's going to shut it down
with her fashion.

If Jacqueline felt a way about something,

honey, she would let you know.

She would be so blunt.

She would always say that she
was a straight, no-chaser kind of girl.

She can smell the B.S.

-You didn't want that side-eye.
-No, you didn't want the side-eye.

-Or the rolled eyes.
-Oh, even worse!

She just kept it real,
and when I thought I was fierce,

she was like, "Chirl, chirl,

that sponge dress..." [laughs]

She was always kind of someone
who brought me back to sanity,

and even after filming, she would call me

and make sure that I was doing okay.

And she was always kind of rooting for me.

We would always talk on the phone.
I would always visit.

Jacqueline and I would speak
after every single episode

of RuPaul's Drag Race.

She was at our wedding.

[man] No matter where you were
gonna be performing,

she would find you to let you know,

"We're here for you."

She even came to see me on Broadway.

Every Christmas party, every show.
It's something I will cherish forever.

I'll be eternally grateful
for the words of encouragement,

the advice, that Jacqueline offered me.

She was just a great mentor to me,
and she didn't let, um...

Oh, God.

[Bob] Everyone who knew her
looked up to her.

I keep this picture of Jacqueline
in my home.

It's a picture of Jacqueline and RuPaul...

that I keep in my... in my desk
where I do all my work.

[heavy sigh]

I really miss her.

I'm just so grateful that I got to meet

such a beautiful, honest, and loving soul.

Jacqueline, I want to thank you
so very much

for sharing your light, your love,
your passion of what you do,

your energy with us.

-Thank you, Jacqueline.
-Thank you, Jacqueline.

Thank you, Jacqueline.

We will always, always remember you,

and you will always have

a very special place in our hearts.

We miss you, Jacqueline.

Michelle, Ross, and Carson,

[cheers and applause]

Thank you, Jaida.

And now it's time
for the judges' critiques,

starting with Crystal Methyd.

So, Crystal's closeup--
gosh, I was so intrigued.

It was so asymmetrical and unusual,

but I was riveted.

And her lip-sync from home--
what the flock?

It was so genius. It was so her.

It was so creative, it was so unique.

I don't want to egg her on,
but that was just about perfect.

I feel like she just
gave everyone the bird.

[laughs]

I never thought that regurgitation
would make it into Drag Race,

but somehow it did,

and I feel better knowing that
her baby bird was nourished.

Creative, kooky Crystal.

Up next, judges, what did you
think of Gigi Goode?

Gigi Goode's closeup was spectacular.

She actually was acting
with her eyelashes--

like, syncopated to the beat
the entire time.

And then her lip-sync from home,

I had an "A-ha" moment.

It was so well-conceptualized.

[Ross] And then that moment when she jumps
and her outfit changes,

I don't know how she did that.

That's the thing on the TikTok
that the kids do.

Can someone teach Uncle Ross
how to do that?

[Michelle] Honey, she brought
the nostalgia, she brought the fashion,

she brought it all.

She was... not just good,

she was amazing.

And last but not least, what did you all
think of Jaida Essence Hall?

For me, it was really interesting

because she was stealing focus
from some of the other girls

by moving backward and forward
towards the camera--

a very smart choice.

Jaida's lip-sync from home,

she is so at home with this material

that she actually inhabits the song.

She's performing like she is
in Madison Square Garden,

and the whole place is packed.

[Michelle] She used her couch,
she used her floor, she used her hair.

If anything was in Jaida's way,

she was going to use it, and that she did.

Amazing.

Oh, my God, you guys, this quarantine,
I think it's getting to me

because I actually agree with Michelle.

-[gasps]
-[RuPaul] Thank you, judges.

And, as usual, you've been no help at all.

Calling my top three queens...

I've made my decision.

The queens moving forward
to the finale lip-sync for the crown

will be...

announced right after this.

[soft laughter]

-[astonished laughter]
-No, ma'am.

Welcome back to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race season 12.

Crystal Methyd,

Gigi Goode,

Jaida Essence Hall.

Each of you have presented
performances tonight

and all season long

that have made me so proud,

and now I've made my decision.

I need to see more.

Con-drag-ulations.

You are all moving on

to the final lip-sync for the crown.

[joyous cries]

Werk!

That's right, all three of you
will face off

in a first-time-ever

cross-country battle royale.

And in the end, one of you will be crowned

America's next drag superstar.

Get ready, ladies,

because tonight you have
a date with destiny.

Wait a minute. I-- I thought
Ms. Destiny was up in prison.

She's out?

She got parole?

Shit, she ain't changed her ways.

Look, I-- I grew up with Ms. Destiny.
I know who she is.

I don't know who she's tryin' to fool.

Oh, yeah, I'll be the judge of that.

We are just one lip-sync away

from crowning a winner, baby.

But first, last week,
our reigning Miss Congeniality

crashed the reunion to announce
this year's Miss Congeniality.

Take a look.

[laughs]

Oh! After a long year of being congenial,

it is so nice to unwind
with a good pal who understands.

Girl, I will always love you.

Well, I hear you, squirrel-friend.

It can be exhausting
bein' so nice all the time.

I'm so nice, I agreed to do this video.

But I gotta say, it is a real drag
being stuck here at the house.

I wish I had some reason
to get dressed up and go out somewhere.

Ohh, we should totally do
that remake I pitched you--

Steel "Drag-nolias"!

Yeah, I got the script,

but I'm keepin' my options open right now.

So... is that a hard pass?

Nina, you know how I love
our heart-to-heart talks,

and I really more than anything

appreciate you keepin' my secret

that my real name is Leslie Jordan,

and I'm just in drag.

Dolly Parton, living legend and queen
of country music, stop talking!

I have to go crash the Drag Race reunion

and present the Miss Congeniality award!

[gasps]

Well, I see she's "tucked" in
for the night.

All right, Dolly, how do I look?

Meh.

Bye, Dolly, I'll see you
at the 9 to 5 singalong.

How do I get into this?

Wow! I finally got the role I wanted.

Hello, ladies, it's me, Nina West!

And I'm here to present this year's
Miss Congeniality.

[cheers and shouts]

The winner will receive

ten thousand dollars...

[cheers and shouts]

...presented by Pantene Nutrient Blends.

The Season 12 queens have all voted,

and the winner is...

Heidi N Closet!

[RuPaul] ♪ Hey, kitty girl ♪

[cheers and applause]

-Congratulations!
-Thanks, y'all!

-[cheers]
-Thank you.

Con-drag-ulations!

I want to say thank you

so very much to all my Season 12 sisters.

Y'all are all fabulous and amazing.
I really thank y'all so, so very much.

Y'all taught me so much
through this experience,

and I want to speak
to all those people out there

that have been made fun of
for just being who you are.

I've been there, and it feel amazing

to be celebrated for just being who I am,

so I want you all to be just who you are,

and 'cause that's when your star
is truly shining the brightest,

so keep shining your true selves.
Mwah!

Love you, Heidi!

[cheers]

But wait, ladies.

That's not all.

To honor your spirit and commitment
to entertaining the world

over these last several many weeks,

each of you will receive a $2,000 tip...

What?

...courtesy of Pantene Nutrient Blends.

[cheers and applause]

-All right!
-Thank you!

Thank you, girl`!

See? Being kind really is cool.

[applause]

I'm gon' wash my hair now!

Come on, Miss Pantene stimulus checks!

Now, RuPaul's Drag Race
has never had a winner

as freakin' fabulous

as our reigning champion,

straight from Denver, Colorado,

the not-so-straight Yvie Oddly.

[sniffs] Ohh! Um...

Let me go throw on my good sweatpants.

[grunts]

Hmm.

Ahh!

[mumbling] Fuck!

It's done!

Since winning Season 11,

my life has been a non-stop
whirlwind of excitement.

I've been on all the best carpets.

-I've stormed every catwalk.
-[cat mews]

I've met the most amazing people,

been invited to some incredible openings.

Most of all, the experience
has given me a whole new outlook.

Actually, Ru, I've been stuck at home
just like everyone else.

But before that, I was meeting fans,

working the world,

headlining at RuPaul's
Drag Race Live in Vegas,

living life like never before.

This year has been so oddly blessed,

and I'm super grateful.

And to our new queen, con-drag-ulations,

and get set for the ride of your life.

So, are you dying to know
who's going to be crowned

America's next drag superstar?

Well, the queens are getting ready.

For fairness,
all three were sent materials

to create identical performance spaces,

and were provided with camera phones,

which their partners or house mates

will use to film
their final lip-sync for crown.

Child, it's all gonna go down
right after this.

Welcome back to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

To the top three queens safe at home,

and to your fans watching
from the far reaches of this planet,

it all comes down to this moment.

Ladies, in addition to the title
of America's next drag superstar,

the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race
will receive a year's supply

of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics,

a crown and scepter provided
by Fierce Drag Jewels,

and a cash prize of $100,000.

Crystal Methyd in Springfield, Missouri...

Gigi Goode in Los Angeles, California...

Jaida Essence Hall
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

No matter what happens next, ladies,

you three are the very definition

of drag excellence.

So, it is with grace and gratitude

that I ask you to assume the position.

Three queens stand before me.

Prior to tonight,
you were asked to prepare

a lip-sync performance of "Survivor"

by Destiny's Child.

Y'all know who that is.

Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me

and snatch the title
of America's next drag superstar.

The time has come...

for you to lip-sync...

for...

the...

crown!

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
