Welcome to the grand finale

Mi amor!
Yes, the tribe has gathered,
henny.
I know we're in the middle
of a presidential election,
but tonight this
is the race everybody's
talking about...
Vote for love, henny.
Because together,
right here on Logo TV,
we can make America
gay again!
Hello.
And I got to tell you,
in this theater
you have my permission
to use any damn bathroom
you want.
Well,
except mine, of course.
You hear that, Jiggly?
Tonight our legendary judges
are here.
Fresh from the drop-off
at Calabasas Junior High School,
it's Michelle Visage.
Also here are Ross Mathews
and Carson Kressley.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi!
Now, this season
we've been to Oz and back,
but the competition
ain't over.
Bob The Drag Queen,
Kim Chi, and Naomi Smalls...
Tonight, one of you
will be crowned
America's next drag superstar,
but I have not made
my final decision,
and because we're still
keeping it 100,
I've asked each of you
to prepare
a lip sync performance
to a song created just for you.
Ladies,
this is your last chance
to impress me
and to show the world
that you deserve to be
America's next drag superstar,
so good luck,
and don't fuck it up.
You wear it well
French tip, lipstick,
painted on
Coming up,
sickening live performances
by our top three.
Later, the season
eight queens reunite
and let it all hang out
when the grand finale of
"RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.
What Michelle said.
Oh, look at this!
Welcome aboard
It's "RuPaul's Drag Race:
The Rusical."
Now you can own the soundtrack
that gives you life.
I love that one!
Taking you by surprise
Too many daddies
and not enough time
The music library is open...
The sugar babies
?Eggs, eggs, eggs
Ooh, this one's
thought-provoking.
both: Eggs, eggs, eggs,
eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs
All I ever wanted
was my cha cha hells
Now, this song is on
my cardio play list.
To the bitch ball
?'Cause
I'm the biggest star
Music to my ears...
literally!
"RuPaul's Drag Race;
The Rusical,"
available where fine music
is sold.
Good versus evil
Classic!
Be right back!
Oh! We're back.
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Now, our top three queens
have snatched your attention
all season long,
and tonight
I've challenged each of them
to slay the stage one last time.
Purse first,
a New York City girl
who puts the taint
in enter-taint-ment,
give it up
for a demure little lady
we call
Bob The Drag Queen.
I don't go out
looking for the spotlight
The spotlight finds me
Uh, over here.
Try to tone it down,
tuck it in real tight
But it's not that easy
It's not that easy
Since I was a child
People keep saying
I've been doing too much
both: Doing too much
Mama always said,
"Hold your head up high
You've got
that magic touch"
both: The magic touch
So whether it's acting,
comedy
Body, singing, dancing
Or serving chocolate
chip cookies
I don't like to show off
both: Don't show off
I don't like to show off
both: Don't show off
I keep it subtle,
keep it humble
'Cause it's not my gig
I like to keep my talents
tucked under my wig, whoo
Whoo
I don't like to show off
both: Don't show off
Read my lips
All the other bitches
call me ratchet.
You're way too big
I snatch it.
Go ahead
and hand me the Oscar.
I'm the only one
on the roster.
If you come for B-O-B,
you must be an SOB.
Never was a hater,
but I'm making mashed potater
out of err'body right
in front of you.
Ha, ha, ha.
I don't like to show off
I don't like to show off
I keep it subtle,
keep it humble
'Cause it's not my gig
I like to keep my talents
tucked under my wig
Whoo
I don't
like to show off
Off
Oh. Okay.
Off
Bob! Bob!
Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob!
Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob!
Wow.
Work it out for team humble.
Now, while you catch
your breath,
let's talk to the judges.
Michelle Visage,
what'd you think?
That was amazing.
Gagging
Come on, choreography.
Phenomenal.
I'm so proud of you.
And I love that you play safe.
Every one of your dancers
was wearing a hard hat.
I love that.
It's important.
I think you need to change
your name to Bob The Superstar.
Ooh.
Well, thank you, judges.
Now, Bob The Drag Queen,
from the moment
you entered the workroom
you had uniqueness, nerve,
and talent written all over you.
Let's take a look.
Oh, I just love these
things.
My name is
Bob The Drag Queen.
I'm hilarious, beautiful,
talented, and humble.
That's the biggest
pearl necklace I've ever seen.
How you doing, RuPaul?
I'm sorry that I'm late,
but "Uzo Abubu"
left the stage.
Well, then why did I waste
my time putting on...
this?
Oh, there's more.
This.
Sometimes you borderline
on showboating.
Insert shady rattlesnake
noise here.
Bob, how's your head?
No complaints.
I'm Bob The Drag Queen,
a queen for the people.
Now, Bob, when did you first
become aware of drag?
I used to watch
"To Wong Foo."
Yas!
I saw, like, this, like,
glamazonian, like,
goddess coming down
from the ceiling
wearing a big confederate flag.
She's talking about me,
but...you knew that, right?
I was like,
"Oh, this bitch is--"
when I say bitch,
I mean it, like,
the way you'd call
your grandmother a bitch.
Wait. Did she just
call me a grandma?
I was like, "This bitch
is pushing buttons, girl,"
and I loved it.
You excelled at so many
of the challenges.
Did you study the show
before you came on?
No,
I'm just really talented.
Well, so much
for Team Humble!
You know, listen,
this is my favorite show.
This is what I thought I was
supposed to be doing
my whole life.
When I was performing in,
like, bars in New York City,
dodging beer bottles
literally,
I was like,
"This doesn't feel right.
There's something bigger
coming."
Lo and behold,
I found something bigger.
Her name is RuPaul,
and she blessed me.
Yes, God.
Now, Bob, at one point
in the season
the other queens
were rooting for you to fail.
Mm-hmm.
What did that feel like?
It felt like
I was doing it right.
I mean, no one's rooting
for the person doing the worst.
No one's like, "Oh, you're doing
bad. You should get out."
They're like,
"Ooh, she's doing so well.
Get her the fuck
out of here."
Well, she has a point.
All right,
so we've got some
fan questions over there.
Hallelu, I'm back,
RuPaul!
And hallelu to you,
too, gur!
Tucker from Florida
wants to know,
"Does your humor come
from overcoming
a dark place in your life?"
Um, see, I mean,
I have the struggles
that a lot of y'all homosexuals
here had, especially--
What?
They're--wait, wait--
They're--this--
These are...homosexuals?
I...never!
I had the same hardships
that everyone else here has,
and we all deal with it
in different ways.
If you find something
to filter your pain
and your anger into,
it'll flourish.
It really will.
Words of wisdom.
Now, flourish!
Now, Bob,
you blew everyone away
with your Snatch Game
impersonations.
Now, did you ever hear
from Uzo or Carol Channing?
Well, Uzo
tweeted at me
and was like,
"This was amazing,"
and I was like, "Thank you,"
and I am obsessed
with Carol Channing,
but she's just--she's 95.
It's hard to get
out of the house when you're 95.
Yeah, sure.
I'm 18, and it's hard
for me to get out, so.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Well, we did hear from
the one and only Carol Channing.
Take a look.
Thank you, Bob,
for your colorful
impersonation of me.
I'm so honored
to be a part of your history.
Oh, I'm proud of that.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
So Bob, I know your brother's
over there, right?
Yeah, he's the one who's just
a shade darker than me.
I'm 11:00.
He's midnight.
Justin, what was it
like growing up with Bob?
Bob used to cry
on my birthdays
'cause it wasn't about him.
Uh...that sounds
about right.
That's true.
That's true.
Now, Bob,
I know that your mother
couldn't be here
because of her health.
Yes.
Darn, you know,
it would have been
a great opportunity for us
to have a taped message
or something,
but we didn't--we don't have--
wait a minute.
Oh, actually,
we do have a taped message.
Oh.
Let's roll that.
Hey.
Bob, this is your mother.
I'm very proud of you.
I've always believed in you,
even when you didn't
believe in yourself.
Continue to work hard
on your craft.
Always respect your fans.
Reach for the stars,
Chris, do the best you can.
Like I always tell you
and your brother,
keep the first thing
the first thing,
and I love you.
Aw!
You got me.
You got me.
Oh, my goodness.
Now, Bob, what would it mean
to you to win $100,000?
$100,000 isn't the thing
because money comes and goes,
but winning this title,
that means something.
You get to go forth
and carry a legacy
and do something and make
a change in somebody's life
and put first things first
and do something.
Right, well--right, well--
Now, I've watched
all 109 episodes
of "RuPaul's Drag Race,"
and I've noticed
you have never once
walked into the room...
purse first.
Oh, my God,
look at this.
Oh,
and it matches my outfit.
It's perfect.
I love it.
Purse first.
I love it.
Give it up for Bob
The Drag Queen.
Cha cha, bitch
Are you team Bob?
Tweet us now with #dragrace.
Next, we're gonna
Kim Chi that walk
and go big with Naomi Smalls
as the grand finale of
"RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.
Honey, we are just getting
started, y'all.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back,
Cha Cha Bitches.
Now, settle in
for more "Ruvelations."
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Up next, we've got
an Instagram superstar
who's about to
lisp s-s-sync...
for her life.
Now serving Kim Chi.
I came here to debut
A brand-new dance for you
Really easy to do
It's the new sensation
Only three things you need
to do it just like me
Count it like one, two,
three, every generation
Beyonc?
Madonna
Got nothing

Do the
Fat, fem, and Asian.
Fat, fem, and Asian.
Fat, fem, and Asian.
Yeah,

Fat, fem, and Asian
Fat, fem, and Asian
...one, two, three
Britney
Rihanna
Got nothing
on this triple threat
Do the

Fat, fem, and Asian
Fat, fem, and Asian
Uh-huh
Fat, fem, and Asian
Fat, fem,

Fat, fem, and Asian
Fat, fem, and Asian,

Fat, fem, and Asian
Fat, fem, and Asian,
fat, fem, and Asian
Fat, fem, and Asian
Word!
Wow.
Kim Chi,
I love that song.
It's got a good beat,
and you can't dance to it.
All right, Kim Chi,
let's hear from the judges.
Michelle Visage,
what's the tea on Kim Chi?
I love that your purity
and your beautiful energy
took something that was normally
considered negative
and turned it into something
fun and beautiful.
Yes.
Nailed it
Today Kim Chi
is on the menu,
and you are the main course.
Who's hungry?
Now, Kim Chi, you came
to this competition hungry.
You won the first challenge,
and then you stayed hungry.
Let's take a look.
My name is Kim Chi.
I came to chop suey
the competition.
I'm known for crazy,
over-the-top
pure anime fantasy.
Animazing.
I may across shy
because I am soft-spoken,
but donut come for me,
because I'll destroy you.
I do get concerned
about your walk.
It's very stiff, darling.
Exqueeze me?
My mom doesn't know
that I do drag.
What?
Exqueeze me?
You didn't just get better.
You got fierce.
I don't want to be
America's next drag superstar.
I am America's
next drag superstar.
Now, Kim Chi,
you were so honest
and vulnerable this season.
In fact,
watching the show back,
at one point
you made me ugly cry, girl,
so I hope you don't mind
if I ask you
some very personal questions.
First one, when was
the last time you fell down?
Actually, earlier today.
I'm not even joking.
I tripped on my skirt,
and I fell over
the craft service table.
Queen down!
Now, everyone
is gagging on your looks,
just so many amazing looks.
What inspires you?
My inspiration comes
from a lot of random places.
I could be walking
down the street
and see a rock and be like,
"Oh, that rock is pretty.
Let me make a gown
inspired by the rock,"
so there's no one
set inspiration,
but everyday life and nature.
Now, is it true
you gave the $3,000
you won in
the first challenge
to your mother?
Why'd you do that?
My mom works really hard to,
you know, pay the bills,
and she works as a server
at a Korean restaurant
currently,
and I want to do everything
that I can to help
my mom financially.
Yeah.
Have you told her
that you do drag yet?
I still have not,
but, you know, it's like--
She didn't watch the show?
I mean,
she's very Korean-American,
and she's really, like, not open
to American culture at all,
so I don't think--
yeah, I don't think
she'll ever find out
about "Drag Race."
We'll see about that.
I am a firm believer in
things happen when
they're supposed to happen,
so right after this,
why don't we drive
over to your mother's house
and I tell her myself?
Road trip?
Road trip.
Road trip.
Yes.
Who's here
supporting you tonight?
I have my friend
Ryan, Diana, Amy, and Trixie.
So Diana, what do you think
of Kim Chi's journey?
I think Kim Chi
is the most creative, talented,
and hardworking person I know.
I'm so happy
to be your friend,
and I want the best for you.
I'm verklempt.
All right, now,
we've got some fan questions
for you, Kim Chi.
Oh, look,
we have the Pit Crew coming d--
and they--
you forgot your pants, guys.
Kim Chi,
Tiara from Facebook asks,
"If you could
lose your virginity
to a member of the Pit Crew...
who would it be?"
Um, I'm not trying
to catch anything,
so I'm gonna say none of them,
but--
You know, that may just be
the shadiest moment
in "Drag Race" herstory.
Shade. Shade.
Shade!
Oh, thank you,
Pit Crew members.
I don't know what
to say after that.
All right, Kim Chi,
well, we have one more question.
Well, actually,
it's more of a statement.
Take a look.
Kim Chi,
I am supreme leader,
but you are supreme
drag queen.
You better work,
or else I put you
in a labor camp.
Kim Chi, it's Margaret Cho.
I'm so proud of you.
You're so beautiful.
You are so funny, and I think
you are a good dancer.
So Kim Chi,
what would it mean to you
to become America's
next drag superstar?
It would obviously
change my life.
I'd be able to not be broke.
I'd be able to afford
guacamole on my burrito bowl.
I'd be able to start
my own makeup company,
which I would love to do,
and it would mean that
anybody who's ever felt
like they weren't
part of anything,
anybody that felt like
they couldn't be anything,
as long as you stay true
to who you are,
be creative, be original,
and your dreams
will eventually come true.
Well, Kim Chi,
read my lisp...
We love you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Kim Chi.
Are you team Kim Chi?
Then tweet all about it.
#dragrace.
Up next, Naomi Smalls
is gonna stretch her legs
when the grand finale of
"RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.
Now it's a good time for you
to stretch your legs too.
Be right back.
Okay, here we go!
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Now it's time for our
final performance

top three songs right now
wherever fine music is sold,

Okay, Naomi, let's talk
to the judges. Michelle Visage?
Honey, whatever's on the menu,
I'm buying two.
Look how far
you've come, honey,
and you have proven tonight
that you have legs up
on the competition.
Yes, you do.
Legs do seem to be
on the menu.
You came, you saw,
you contoured,
and you conquered.
Yes.
Thank you, Naomi Smalls.
Now, as the youngest queen
to compete this season,
you've come a long way,
baby.
Let's take a look.
I am Naomi Smalls.
Check your lipstick
before you come for me.
Naomi has legs all the way
up to her ass hole.
Naomi is a fashion girl.
She's fucking fierce.
Bitches better beware.
Oh, all of that right there.
I'm giving you Naomi Campbell
strutting down
a Versace runway.
I just thought
it was perfection.
This is how you win
this competition.
I have eight brothers
and three sisters.
Whoa.
That is crazy.
This is my mom.
She's, like, the best mom ever.
Do you have a message
you want to say to your mother?
Thank you for everything
you've ever done,
and I hope I can repay you
for the rest of my life.
Mmm...
I'm Naomi Smalls,
and I promise
to represent you fiercely.
Naomi, you have the fever
and the flavor for fashion.
Now, where does that come from?
I honestly don't know
because I grew up in, like,
a family that was...
sorry, guys,
not the most fashion-forward
or anything like that,
but I just remember,
like, looking at magazines
when I was a kid and just
being so obsessed with them,
and I wanted to look
like these amazing supermodels
that were in the glossy pages.
No pressure!
Now, halfway through
the competition
you seemed to come to life.
What happened?
I was so scared
in the beginning
of standing out and--like,
for the wrong reasons,
but when it comes
to Snatch Game,
you can't hide anywhere,
and being in the bottom two
and having to lip
sync for my life
just put that fire
underneath my ass
to take chances and stand out
for all the right reasons.
Atta girl.
You did really well.
Thank you.
Now, Naomi,
we have a taped message
from one fierce queen.
Let's take a look.
Hi, Naomi.
Now, in Westeros
there's only room
for one queen,
but in Ru's queendom, girl,
I can't wait to see
you take that crown.
Now...Cersei that walk.
I love that.
So good.
Now, we have some
fan questions.
G-G-G-Gia?
Herminio from Mexico...
Hi, Herminio.
Would like to know
how did it feel
when Naomi Campbell
checked you online?
[laughs] It was, like,
the biggest moment of my life.
What did she say?
Well, she followed me
on Instagram,
and then she had,
like, this interview saying,
"I really am loving that
Naomi Smalls," and I, like--
I love that.
Everything!
Tell me this.
What would it mean to you
to become America's
next drag superstar?
It would mean
the world to me
to be America's
next drag superstar.
Just to get that
stamp of approval
from you and carry on
your legacy would be--
Yeah, supermodel, work!
The biggest goal
I ever met in my life.
I love it.
Now, before we go,
I want to say hello
to your mother.
Where is she?
She's right there.
Would you--where--
Oh, there she is.
Hi.
So June,
what was it like
raising a leggy supermodel?
Well, I'm a little shocked
that he didn't get
fashion tips from me.
Me, too, Mama.
Me, too!
He has always been amazing.
Really?
Yes.
Did you buy the fashion
magazines, or did--
No, but I did start buying
the wigs and the shoes
and the--
Now, besides Naomi,
how many kids did you raise?
12 altogether.
Wow.
Wow.
Naomi, where are
your other brothers
and sisters tonight?
Well, they're
all over the world.
They're actually
all over this theater too.
Well, let's bring them out,
the Von Trapp family singers.
I have an idea!
Let's remake "The Sound of
Music" with drag queens!
Oh! Oh! How are you?
Hi, sweetie.
How are you?
How are you?
Ahh!
You know,
like I always say,
the family that drags together
slays together.
Let's hear it
for the legendary,
all legs, no dairy,
Naomi Smalls.
Cover Girl,
put the bass in your walk
Are you team Naomi?
Then let the world know.
Tweet it with #dragrace.
Coming up,
the queens reunite,
we announce
Miss Congeniality,
and more when the grand finale
of "RuPaul's
Drag Race" continues.
We are getting closer
to that crown, henny!
Hey, nerds,
"Ruvealed" is back on.
Pay attention!
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Now, we're just moments
away from crowning
America's next drag superstar,
but first it's time
to bring back my girls.
Starting with a nerdy bird,
a glam rock rebel,
and one cuckoo queen.
My name is
Dax ExclamationPoint.
What's up, nerds?
My look is very inspired by,
like, science fiction
and comics,
strong, bad bitches
who don't take any crap
from anybody else.
Show me your
exclamation point.
Yeah!
All right, ladies,
let's turn up the juice
and see what shakes loose.
Laila is,
like, a whory quasi--
I don't want to say gothy,
but, like, gothy.
My biggest concern is that
I'm gonna
fade into the background.
I'm here too.
Dax ExclamationPoint,
Laila McQueen,
neither one of you
survived that lip sync.
Sashay away.
Both of us?
Really?
Sorry about it.
How you doing,
mis amores?
My name is Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
Do you want to see my cuckoo?
Cuckoo.
Cuckoo.
I need a space
for this junk in the trunk.
I'm sexy as a goddess is.
I'm funny as a clown.
I am sickening
Did my teeth look yellow?
No.
Ha!
Dax ExclamationPoint
and Laila McQueen, welcome back.
Hello.
Hey, Ru.
So Dax, I hear that the song
"I Will Survive"
is haunting you
everywhere you go.
Is that true?
Yes,
like, literally everywhere I go,
like, it could be a gas station,
grocery store, anywhere,
it just happens to come on.
Listen, if I were you two,
I would seize the moment.
I would record another song.
I would s--call it
"I Didn't Survive."
Wait--what?
Too soon?
You know?
It'd be a huge hit.
But seriously, there are
no losers on "Drag Race."
Dax, what's life been like
since you were on the show?
Honestly, life
has been absolutely amazing.
Like, the fans
have been phenomenal.
I mean, obviously, like,
I don't have as many fans as,
like, you know, Kim Chi
or Bob or Naomi.
That's fine.
It's fine,
but the ones
I do have are phenomenal.
Now, I've got a confession
to make.
Laila McQueen
and I have a secret past.
I deny it, but there's proof.
Take a look.
That little pixie to the right
of me is Laila McQueen
when I was not
running for president
in Manchester, New Hampshire.
You know, my grandmother
calls you Ron Paul.
Now, did you ever
imagine at that point
that you would be on this stage?
Oh, absolutely not.
I mean, I was performing in,
like, function halls
and Mexican restaurants.
Like, I never imagined being
here or anywhere else
around the world.
So now, what's happened
to you because of "Drag Race"?
I get to go everywhere
and meet the people
that love the work I do
and embrace so much love
that I never thought
I would see.
All that at the truck stop?
So Dax, Laila,
you aren't just surviving.
You are thriving.
Thank you.
Next up,
straight from Santee Alley,
Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
Now, since the show,
you've been through it,
haven't you, girl?
Yes, actually the episode
that I been eliminated,
I was experience symptoms.
I'm here to celebrate that.
Wow.
Yes.
And how do you feel right now?
I'm in the discharge process
already right now,
so I feel amazing.
I feel fantastic.
Good. Yeah.
Did any of your drag sisters
reach out to you?
Yes, one special person,
and it's Acid Betty.
That Acid Betty?
That Acid Betty.
Aw...
Yeah, Acid Betty.
She came to visit me as soon
as she knew
that I was diagnosed.
She was taking care of me.
She was like,
"Bitch, you're not alone.
I got your back."
Yep.
Sounds just like her.
I think the positive attitude
from all my entire
new sisterhood
helped me to recovery
and helped me
to be more positive every day.
Wow.
I love it.
Well, Cynthia Lee Fontaine,
we are cuckoo for your cuckoo.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Now a queen
who always picks up when I call
and a badass
in total control of herself.
Let's take a look.
The beauty is here.
My name is Naysha Lopez.
I spend money.
I don't do drag on a dime.
Naysha Lopez, sashay away.
How soon can you get here?
Bitches, I'm back!
Come through!
Face, body, glamour.
Your ass is real?
Yes. Realness, boo.
This acid trip is all real.
My drag style is completely over
the top, punk unicorn realness.
The main bullet point
of Acid Betty is she's a bitch.
I'm not gonna be unprepared
because of you, boo.
Oh! She's serious!
Acid Betty, you've taken us
on one wild trip.
Now, Naysha Lopez, Michelle
and I have a running bet, okay?
That ass of yours, is it real?
So listen, Ru, I--
I eat well.
I work out.
I have 10 ccs
of medical grade silicon.
I--no.
Uh-huh.
That's what I thought.
So on the show
you said your ass was real.
My ass is real.
However, have I had
some enhancements
to the body-ody-ody?
Yeah.
Yes, I have.
Ah.
Now, you missed
the Madonna runway storyline.
Yes.
What would you have worn?
I'm a very creative person,
and what I had going on
was another kimono.
What?
What is it with these queens
and kimonos?
Naysha, thanks for gracing us
with your gorgeous beauty
and that booty twice.
Yes.
Next, Acid Betty.
Now, are you really here,
or am I having a flashback?
That's a good question.
Now, you turned out some killer
looks this season.
Thank you.
How have fans been to you?
I love the fans.
They are the best, the best.
The best thing
of this show are the fans.
The love is so intense,
and it's wonderful.
I actually had a kid
that I met at DragCon,
and they decided that
they were gonna go into fashion
and got a full
scholarship to FIDM
because of seeing me
on the TV show.
Wow. Wow.
Those are the stories
we love to hear.
Now, Acid Betty,
you took a lot of heat
for your Nancy Grace
impersonation,
but some people really,
really liked it.
Take a look.
Acid Betty,
I loved watching you be me,
but frankly,
speaking professionally,
you got a raw deal.
You were robbed.
No tea, no shade,
but unleash the lawyers.
We got a case here.
Nancy Grace?
This show has everything!
Aci, I could go
on talking to you all night,
but I refuse
to say anything further
until I lawyer up.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Acid Betty.
Coming up,
get into the groove
when Robbie, Thorgy, Derrick,
and Chi Chi return,
and find out
who snatches Miss Congeniality.
Plus, are you team Bob,
team Kim Chi,
or team Naomi?
I can't hear you.
Tweet us with #dragrace
as the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
continues.
Hey, all, we'll be
right back!
All right, now we are back.
Now, settle down.
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Now, the best way to describe
our next three queens
is brassy, Brooklyn,
and Britney, bitch.
Good morning.
My name is Robbie Turner,
and I'm the kindest queen
you'll ever meet.
I want you to be hot
and saucy
Yes, Marilyn.
She's in a league of her own.
I would wear the hell
out of that jumpsuit.
Me, too!
Oh, girl!
Whoo! Thorgy
with a T-H and orgy,
and I feel incredible.
I'm colorful.
I'm fun,
and I'm a fashion clown.
This is harder on me
than it is for you guys.
No, it's not!
That girl is not playin'!
But also I can be,
like, fucking fierce.
Whoo!
I'm so proud of you.
Great job.
Yes!
It'd Derrick, bitch.
I may look angelic,
but I am not that innocent.
I also have a career
with my wigs on.
You'll have a career once
you start gluing yours down.
You have to give us more.
That is not a Britney reference.
Oh!
Oh!
That's how you go out
in style, girls.
Now, Robbie Turner,
how does someone so young know
so much about classic Hollywood?
My mother and father
wouldn't allow us to watch
contemporary films,
so we watched
classic Hollywood films
all the time, so I thought
they were contemporary.
So you can imagine
little baby Robbie
when she's like, "Judy Garland
died many moons ago,"
and it's like, "What?"
Now, what was your favorite
moment on the show?
On my birthday
I won the singing challenge
with the le chicken wings,
and Debbie Harry came back
and said happy birthday to me.
I'm like, um,
I don't see the problem
with this birthday at all--
"Drag Race,"
Debbie, chicken wings.
Sounds like
a dream birthday to me.
Robbie, thank you so much
for all the classic sass.
Oh, and by the way,
I will be sending you a bill
for that broken light bulb
that you did.
Now, that's gonna come out
of next season's budget.
Up next, hey, there,
Thorgy girl.
Hey, Ru.
Yeah!
Now, like Michelle and I,
you and Bob
have a very complicated
relationship.
Well, that's...
one way to put it.
I love to argue
and fight about everything.
I love it.
There's always a way
to tear things apart
and make them better.
Bob can take it from me.
He'll just listen
to me talk and go,
"I still don't like you."
But when people see me
and Bob doing that,
they're like, "Oh, you guys
really don't like each other."
I'm like, "I just love
fighting with him so much,"
but I'm just in love
with Bob very much.
Now, you have dreams
of starting a Thorchestra?
Is that right?
Yeah.
What is a--what's
a Thorchestra?
Well,
ever since I was playing violin
and then I got into,
like, the art of drag,
I wanted to conduct, like,
a 40-piece orchestra.
I wanted to travel the world.
I want, like, Rufus Wainwright
to wheel out on a piano
and be like, "Oh,
my friend Rufus
is here to sing a song."
That's a great idea.
Will you play a little something
for us right now?
Sure.
Oh, my God!
No lip synching here.
That violin is all real.
Thank you, guys.
Well, Thorgy,
I cannot wait to see
what you're gonna do next.
Whoo!
Up next, the 100th queen
to prance into
my workroom--
Hey, Derrick
Whoo!
Now, you struggled to get
out of the Britney box,
as it was called.
Yes.
What's your relationship
with Britney now?
I will always do Britney.
I'm not leaving it behind.
Of course I wanted
to come on the show
to expand what I already do
and take it to the next level,
and I feel like not only can I
do Britney now, I can do drag.
I'm doing drag right now.
Now, Derrick,
throughout the season
you were not afraid
to speak your mind loudly,
especially with Bob and Naomi.
You have any regrets about that?
Everything?
Oh, gosh, it's hard
because I watch it back,
I'm like, "Oh, wow,
I shouldn't have said that.
Probably shouldn't have had
that drink and untucked."
Don't drag
under the influence.
Yes, I have a hard time
taking criticism
because I've never been
criticized like that before.
Doing Britney was
what I've always done,
and I was praised for that,
and now coming
into this competition
it was almost looked down
upon that that was something
that I was known to do.
And I learned so much
from Naomi,
and she taught me
how to block my brows,
and I think I'm doing it now.
Thank you, Derrick,
and I will always think of you
as my genie in a bottle.
Yes, I know
that's a Christina song,
but I've run
out of Britney references!
Give me a break!
Yes.
We love you, Derrick Barry.

or Naomi Smalls will be crowned
America's next drag superstar.
But first the queen
who has turned this season
on its head.
Let's take a look.
Laissez les bon temps roulez.
My name is Chi Chi DeVayne,
and I don't get ready.
I stay ready.
My drag is that real southern
dragged out style of drag.
Prove to us
that you're a champion.
Not only have you guys
taught me how to be
a better entertainer,
but you have taught me
how to be a better person,
and $100,000 cannot buy that.
Yes, Louisiana glamour.
When you came to "Drag Race,"
you had quit two jobs
to be on the show.
How many jobs do you have now?
I have one job, Ru,
and I'm a full-time drag queen!
That's what's up.
That's what's up.
How do fans
react when they meet you?
Oh, my God, first time in
New York, I'm in Times Square,
and the shortest little
Hispanic woman
stopped me in the street,
and she just instantly
start crying.
Aw!
That I represented
all of the people
in the world to her
that are out there
struggling to make ends meet
and who have a dream,
and the dream has come true.
Dreams come true, y'all.
Dreams come true.
And speaking of dreams,
the "Dreamgirls" lip sync
that you did,
oh, honey,
that was legendary,
and I'm not the only one
who thought so.
Take a look at this.
You, Miss Chi Chi DeVayne,
are a true inspiration.
I tell you
that your heartfelt rendition
of "And I'm Telling You"
moved me.
And, honey, when those bees
start flying right
after you and I hit
our high note, honey,
you gave me life,
and I'm gonna make you
an official Dreamgirl.
Gagging!
Do you have anything else
you'd like to say?
Thank you from the bottom
of my heart.
You have changed
my life forever.
Thank you.
You made my dreams
come true.
That is the sweetest thing.
I really appreciate that.
I've been watching you
for a long time,
and to have you finally
on the show is really my honor.
Aw. She puts the "hug"
in "thug."
All right, now it's time
to announce the winner
of this year's
Miss Congeniality.
All the way from Moscow
by way of Boston
and a pit stop in Pacoima...
It's Katya.
Hi, Katya.
Hi, Ru.
Hey, listen,
I brought you some water.
Are you thirsty?
So Katya,
what have you been up to?
Oh, my God,
what haven't I been up to?
Listen, I learned
horseback riding.
I've been doing macrame.
I visited, like, 6
out of the 12 continents
in the world.
It's been a whirlwind.
It's been a--
All right, yeah, well,
is there something
you want to tell me?
I mean--
I--well, okay, yeah,
I'm not technically bisexual.
I mean, I'm open.
I'm open--
No, no, no, no, n--no.
No, no,
I am open--listen, I am--
I'm talking about
what you came out here for.
You remember?
You came--
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
Oh, look at this thing. Okay.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, hold--will you hold
this water for me please?
Yeah, sure.

Yup.
Courtesy of the all-new
Fiat 500x crossover

CuCu!

you'd like to say?
This is very important for me
because experiencing cancer
give me the opportunity
just only to be

and the only way
that we can do that is funny
and showing the CuCu

I've worked with some of
the best people in the industry,

the burlesque world,
the art world.
I've gotten validation,
people that I respected for
years and years and years,
so it's been the most personally
gratifying year of my life.
I am so thankful to RuPaul,
all the fans.
Thank you from the bottom
of my heart.
I love you guys.

Well,

You hear that, Jiggly?
Tonight our legendary judges
are here.
Fresh from the drop-off
at Calabasas Junior High School,
it's Michelle Visage.
Also here are Ross Mathews
and Carson Kressley.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi!
Now, this season
we've been to Oz and back,
but the competition
ain't over.
Bob The Drag Queen,
Kim Chi, and Naomi Smalls...
Tonight, one of you
will be crowned
America's next drag superstar,
but I have not made
my final decision,
and because we're still
keeping it 100,
I've asked each of you
to prepare
a lip sync performance
to a song created just for you.
Ladies,
this is your last chance
to impress me
and to show the world
that you deserve to be
America's next drag superstar,
so good luck,
and don't fuck it up.
You wear it well
French tip, lipstick,
painted on
Coming up,
sickening live performances
by our top three.
Later, the season
eight queens reunite
and let it all hang out
when the grand finale of
"RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.
What Michelle said.
Oh, look at this!
Welcome aboard
It's "RuPaul's Drag Race:
The Rusical."
Now you can own the soundtrack
that gives you life.
I love that one!
Taking you by surprise
Too many daddies
and not enough time
The music library is open...
The sugar babies
?Eggs, eggs, eggs
Ooh, this one's
thought-provoking.
both: Eggs, eggs, eggs,
eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs
All I ever wanted
was my cha cha hells
Now, this song is on
my cardio play list.
To the bitch ball
?'Cause
I'm the biggest star
Music to my ears...
literally!
"RuPaul's Drag Race;
The Rusical,"
available where fine music
is sold.
Good versus evil
Classic!
Be right back!
Oh! We're back.
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Now, our top three queens
have snatched your attention
all season long,
and tonight
I've challenged each of them
to slay the stage one last time.
Purse first,
a New York City girl
who puts the taint
in enter-taint-ment,
give it up
for a demure little lady
we call
Bob The Drag Queen.
I don't go out
looking for the spotlight
The spotlight finds me
Uh, over here.
Try to tone it down,
tuck it in real tight
But it's not that easy
It's not that easy
Since I was a child
People keep saying
I've been doing too much
both: Doing too much
Mama always said,
"Hold your head up high
You've got
that magic touch"
both: The magic touch
So whether it's acting,
comedy
Body, singing, dancing
Or serving chocolate
chip cookies
I don't like to show off
both: Don't show off
I don't like to show off
both: Don't show off
I keep it subtle,
keep it humble
'Cause it's not my gig
I like to keep my talents
tucked under my wig, whoo
Whoo
I don't like to show off
both: Don't show off
Read my lips
All the other bitches
call me ratchet.
You're way too big
I snatch it.
Go ahead
and hand me the Oscar.
I'm the only one
on the roster.
If you come for B-O-B,
you must be an SOB.
Never was a hater,
but I'm making mashed potater
out of err'body right
in front of you.
Ha, ha, ha.
I don't like to show off
I don't like to show off
I keep it subtle,
keep it humble
'Cause it's not my gig
I like to keep my talents
tucked under my wig
Whoo
I don't
like to show off
Off
Oh. Okay.
Off
Bob! Bob!
Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob!
Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob!
Wow.
Work it out for team humble.
Now, while you catch
your breath,
let's talk to the judges.
Michelle Visage,
what'd you think?
That was amazing.
Gagging
Come on, choreography.
Phenomenal.
I'm so proud of you.
And I love that you play safe.
Every one of your dancers
was wearing a hard hat.
I love that.
It's important.
I think you need to change
your name to Bob The Superstar.
Ooh.
Well, thank you, judges.
Now, Bob The Drag Queen,
from the moment
you entered the workroom
you had uniqueness, nerve,
and talent written all over you.
Let's take a look.
Oh, I just love these
things.
My name is
Bob The Drag Queen.
I'm hilarious, beautiful,
talented, and humble.
That's the biggest
pearl necklace I've ever seen.
How you doing, RuPaul?
I'm sorry that I'm late,
but "Uzo Abubu"
left the stage.
Well, then why did I waste
my time putting on...
this?
Oh, there's more.
This.
Sometimes you borderline
on showboating.
Insert shady rattlesnake
noise here.
Bob, how's your head?
No complaints.
I'm Bob The Drag Queen,
a queen for the people.
Now, Bob, when did you first
become aware of drag?
I used to watch
"To Wong Foo."
Yas!
I saw, like, this, like,
glamazonian, like,
goddess coming down
from the ceiling
wearing a big confederate flag.
She's talking about me,
but...you knew that, right?
I was like,
"Oh, this bitch is--"
when I say bitch,
I mean it, like,
the way you'd call
your grandmother a bitch.
Wait. Did she just
call me a grandma?
I was like, "This bitch
is pushing buttons, girl,"
and I loved it.
You excelled at so many
of the challenges.
Did you study the show
before you came on?
No,
I'm just really talented.
Well, so much
for Team Humble!
You know, listen,
this is my favorite show.
This is what I thought I was
supposed to be doing
my whole life.
When I was performing in,
like, bars in New York City,
dodging beer bottles
literally,
I was like,
"This doesn't feel right.
There's something bigger
coming."
Lo and behold,
I found something bigger.
Her name is RuPaul,
and she blessed me.
Yes, God.
Now, Bob, at one point
in the season
the other queens
were rooting for you to fail.
Mm-hmm.
What did that feel like?
It felt like
I was doing it right.
I mean, no one's rooting
for the person doing the worst.
No one's like, "Oh, you're doing
bad. You should get out."
They're like,
"Ooh, she's doing so well.
Get her the fuck
out of here."
Well, she has a point.
All right,
so we've got some
fan questions over there.
Hallelu, I'm back,
RuPaul!
And hallelu to you,
too, gur!
Tucker from Florida
wants to know,
"Does your humor come
from overcoming
a dark place in your life?"
Um, see, I mean,
I have the struggles
that a lot of y'all homosexuals
here had, especially--
What?
They're--wait, wait--
They're--this--
These are...homosexuals?
I...never!
I had the same hardships
that everyone else here has,
and we all deal with it
in different ways.
If you find something
to filter your pain
and your anger into,
it'll flourish.
It really will.
Words of wisdom.
Now, flourish!
Now, Bob,
you blew everyone away
with your Snatch Game
impersonations.
Now, did you ever hear
from Uzo or Carol Channing?
Well, Uzo
tweeted at me
and was like,
"This was amazing,"
and I was like, "Thank you,"
and I am obsessed
with Carol Channing,
but she's just--she's 95.
It's hard to get
out of the house when you're 95.
Yeah, sure.
I'm 18, and it's hard
for me to get out, so.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Well, we did hear from
the one and only Carol Channing.
Take a look.
Thank you, Bob,
for your colorful
impersonation of me.
I'm so honored
to be a part of your history.
Oh, I'm proud of that.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
So Bob, I know your brother's
over there, right?
Yeah, he's the one who's just
a shade darker than me.
I'm 11:00.
He's midnight.
Justin, what was it
like growing up with Bob?
Bob used to cry
on my birthdays
'cause it wasn't about him.
Uh...that sounds
about right.
That's true.
That's true.
Now, Bob,
I know that your mother
couldn't be here
because of her health.
Yes.
Darn, you know,
it would have been
a great opportunity for us
to have a taped message
or something,
but we didn't--we don't have--
wait a minute.
Oh, actually,
we do have a taped message.
Oh.
Let's roll that.
Hey.
Bob, this is your mother.
I'm very proud of you.
I've always believed in you,
even when you didn't
believe in yourself.
Continue to work hard
on your craft.
Always respect your fans.
Reach for the stars,
Chris, do the best you can.
Like I always tell you
and your brother,
keep the first thing
the first thing,
and I love you.
Aw!
You got me.
You got me.
Oh, my goodness.
Now, Bob, what would it mean
to you to win $100,000?
$100,000 isn't the thing
because money comes and goes,
but winning this title,
that means something.
You get to go forth
and carry a legacy
and do something and make
a change in somebody's life
and put first things first
and do something.
Right, well--right, well--
Now, I've watched
all 109 episodes
of "RuPaul's Drag Race,"
and I've noticed
you have never once
walked into the room...
purse first.
Oh, my God,
look at this.
Oh,
and it matches my outfit.
It's perfect.
I love it.
Purse first.
I love it.
Give it up for Bob
The Drag Queen.
Cha cha, bitch
Are you team Bob?
Tweet us now with #dragrace.
Next, we're gonna
Kim Chi that walk
and go big with Naomi Smalls
as the grand finale of
"RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.
Honey, we are just getting
started, y'all.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back,
Cha Cha Bitches.
Now, settle in
for more "Ruvelations."
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Up next, we've got
an Instagram superstar
who's about to
lisp s-s-sync...
for her life.
Now serving Kim Chi.
I came here to debut
A brand-new dance for you
Really easy to do
It's the new sensation
Only three things you need
to do it just like me
Count it like one, two,
three, every generation
Beyonc?
Madonna
Got nothing

Fat, fem, and Asian
Fat, fem, and Asian,
fat, fem, and Asian
Fat, fem, and Asian
Word!
Wow.
Kim Chi,
I love that song.
It's got a good beat,
and you can't dance to it.
All right, Kim Chi,
let's hear from the judges.
Michelle Visage,
what's the tea on Kim Chi?
I love that your purity
and your beautiful energy
took something that was normally
considered negative
and turned it into something
fun and beautiful.
Yes.
Nailed it
Today Kim Chi
is on the menu,
and you are the main course.
Who's hungry?
Now, Kim Chi, you came
to this competition hungry.
You won the first challenge,
and then you stayed hungry.
Let's take a look.
My name is Kim Chi.
I came to chop suey
the competition.
I'm known for crazy,
over-the-top
pure anime fantasy.
Animazing.
I may across shy
because I am soft-spoken,
but donut come for me,
because I'll destroy you.
I do get concerned
about your walk.
It's very stiff, darling.
Exqueeze me?
My mom doesn't know
that I do drag.
What?
Exqueeze me?
You didn't just get better.
You got fierce.
I don't want to be
America's next drag superstar.
I am America's
next drag superstar.
Now, Kim Chi,
you were so honest
and vulnerable this season.
In fact,
watching the show back,
at one point
you made me ugly cry, girl,
so I hope you don't mind
if I ask you
some very personal questions.
First one, when was
the last time you fell down?
Actually, earlier today.
I'm not even joking.
I tripped on my skirt,
and I fell over
the craft service table.
Queen down!
Now, everyone
is gagging on your looks,
just so many amazing looks.
What inspires you?
My inspiration comes
from a lot of random places.
I could be walking
down the street
and see a rock and be like,
"Oh, that rock is pretty.
Let me make a gown
inspired by the rock,"
so there's no one
set inspiration,
but everyday life and nature.
Now, is it true
you gave the $3,000
you won in
the first challenge
to your mother?
Why'd you do that?
My mom works really hard to,
you know, pay the bills,
and she works as a server
at a Korean restaurant
currently,
and I want to do everything
that I can to help
my mom financially.
Yeah.
Have you told her
that you do drag yet?
I still have not,
but, you know, it's like--
She didn't watch the show?
I mean,
she's very Korean-American,
and she's really, like, not open
to American culture at all,
so I don't think--
yeah, I don't think
she'll ever find out
about "Drag Race."
We'll see about that.
I am a firm believer in
things happen when
they're supposed to happen,
so right after this,
why don't we drive
over to your mother's house
and I tell her myself?
Road trip?
Road trip.
Road trip.
Yes.
Who's here
supporting you tonight?
I have my friend
Ryan, Diana, Amy, and Trixie.
So Diana, what do you think
of Kim Chi's journey?
I think Kim Chi
is the most creative, talented,
and hardworking person I know.
I'm so happy
to be your friend,
and I want the best for you.
I'm verklempt.
All right, now,
we've got some fan questions
for you, Kim Chi.
Oh, look,
we have the Pit Crew coming d--
and they--
you forgot your pants, guys.
Kim Chi,
Tiara from Facebook asks,
"If you could
lose your virginity
to a member of the Pit Crew...
who would it be?"
Um, I'm not trying
to catch anything,
so I'm gonna say none of them,
but--
You know, that may just be
the shadiest moment
in "Drag Race" herstory.
Shade. Shade.
Shade!
Oh, thank you,
Pit Crew members.
I don't know what
to say after that.
All right, Kim Chi,
well, we have one more question.
Well, actually,
it's more of a statement.
Take a look.
Kim Chi,
I am supreme leader,
but you are supreme
drag queen.
You better work,
or else I put you
in a labor camp.
Kim Chi, it's Margaret Cho.
I'm so proud of you.
You're so beautiful.
You are so funny, and I think
you are a good dancer.
So Kim Chi,
what would it mean to you
to become America's
next drag superstar?
It would obviously
change my life.
I'd be able to not be broke.
I'd be able to afford
guacamole on my burrito bowl.
I'd be able to start
my own makeup company,
which I would love to do,
and it would mean that
anybody who's ever felt
like they weren't
part of anything,
anybody that felt like
they couldn't be anything,
as long as you stay true
to who you are,
be creative, be original,
and your dreams
will eventually come true.
Well, Kim Chi,
read my lisp...
We love you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Kim Chi.
Are you team Kim Chi?
Then tweet all about it.
#dragrace.
Up next, Naomi Smalls
is gonna stretch her legs
when the grand finale of
"RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.
Now it's a good time for you
to stretch your legs too.
Be right back.
Okay, here we go!
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Now it's time for our
final performance
of the night.
Oh, and by the way,
kittens,
you can buy these
top three songs right now
wherever fine music is sold,
and you can watch them
again and again
Now, our next queen
strutted her stuff
all the way to the top.
Please give a big supermodel

They tried to put me
on the cover of "Vogue,"

Wow.
Legs for days.
Okay, Naomi, let's talk
to the judges. Michelle Visage?
Honey, whatever's on the menu,
I'm buying two.
Look how far
you've come, honey,
and you have proven tonight
that you have legs up
on the competition.
Yes, you do.
Legs do seem to be
on the menu.
You came, you saw,
you contoured,
and you conquered.
Yes.
Thank you, Naomi Smalls.
Now, as the youngest queen
to compete this season,
you've come a long way,
baby.
Let's take a look.
I am Naomi Smalls.
Check your lipstick
before you come for me.
Naomi has legs all the way
up to her ass hole.
Naomi is a fashion girl.
She's fucking fierce.
Bitches better beware.
Oh, all of that right there.
I'm giving you Naomi Campbell
strutting down
a Versace runway.
I just thought
it was perfection.
This is how you win
this competition.
I have eight brothers
and three sisters.
Whoa.
That is crazy.
This is my mom.
She's, like, the best mom ever.
Do you have a message
you want to say to your mother?
Thank you for everything
you've ever done,
and I hope I can repay you
for the rest of my life.
Mmm...
I'm Naomi Smalls,
and I promise
to represent you fiercely.
Naomi, you have the fever
and the flavor for fashion.
Now, where does that come from?
I honestly don't know
because I grew up in, like,
a family that was...
sorry, guys,
not the most fashion-forward
or anything like that,
but I just remember,
like, looking at magazines
when I was a kid and just
being so obsessed with them,
and I wanted to look
like these amazing supermodels
that were in the glossy pages.
No pressure!
Now, halfway through
the competition
you seemed to come to life.
What happened?
I was so scared
in the beginning
of standing out and--like,
for the wrong reasons,
but when it comes
to Snatch Game,
you can't hide anywhere,
and being in the bottom two
and having to lip
sync for my life
just put that fire
underneath my ass
to take chances and stand out
for all the right reasons.
Atta girl.
You did really well.
Thank you.
Now, Naomi,
we have a taped message
from one fierce queen.
Let's take a look.
Hi, Naomi.
Now, in Westeros
there's only room
for one queen,
but in Ru's queendom, girl,
I can't wait to see
you take that crown.
Now...Cersei that walk.
I love that.
So good.
Now, we have some
fan questions.
G-G-G-Gia?
Herminio from Mexico...
Hi, Herminio.
Would like to know
how did it feel
when Naomi Campbell
checked you online?
[laughs] It was, like,
the biggest moment of my life.
What did she say?
Well, she followed me
on Instagram,
and then she had,
like, this interview saying,
"I really am loving that
Naomi Smalls," and I, like--
I love that.
Everything!
Tell me this.
What would it mean to you
to become America's
next drag superstar?
It would mean
the world to me
to be America's
next drag superstar.
Just to get that
stamp of approval
from you and carry on
your legacy would be--
Yeah, supermodel, work!
The biggest goal
I ever met in my life.
I love it.
Now, before we go,
I want to say hello
to your mother.
Where is she?
She's right there.
Would you--where--
Oh, there she is.
Hi.
So June,
what was it like
raising a leggy supermodel?
Well, I'm a little shocked
that he didn't get
fashion tips from me.
Me, too, Mama.
Me, too!
He has always been amazing.
Really?
Yes.
Did you buy the fashion
magazines, or did--
No, but I did start buying
the wigs and the shoes
and the--
Now, besides Naomi,
how many kids did you raise?
12 altogether.
Wow.
Wow.
Naomi, where are
your other brothers
and sisters tonight?
Well, they're
all over the world.
They're actually
all over this theater too.
Well, let's bring them out,
the Von Trapp family singers.
I have an idea!
Let's remake "The Sound of
Music" with drag queens!
Oh! Oh! How are you?
Hi, sweetie.
How are you?
How are you?
Ahh!
You know,
like I always say,
the family that drags together
slays together.
Let's hear it
for the legendary,
all legs, no dairy,
Naomi Smalls.
Cover Girl,
put the bass in your walk
Are you team Naomi?
Then let the world know.
Tweet it with #dragrace.
Coming up,
the queens reunite,
we announce
Miss Congeniality,
and more when the grand finale
of "RuPaul's
Drag Race" continues.
We are getting closer
to that crown, henny!
Hey, nerds,
"Ruvealed" is back on.
Pay attention!
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Now, we're just moments
away from crowning
America's next drag superstar,
but first it's time
to bring back my girls.
Starting with a nerdy bird,
a glam rock rebel,
and one cuckoo queen.
My name is
Dax ExclamationPoint.
What's up, nerds?
My look is very inspired by,
like, science fiction
and comics,
strong, bad bitches
who don't take any crap
from anybody else.
Show me your
exclamation point.
Yeah!
All right, ladies,
let's turn up the juice
and see what shakes loose.
Laila is,
like, a whory quasi--
I don't want to say gothy,
but, like, gothy.
My biggest concern is that
I'm gonna
fade into the background.
I'm here too.
Dax ExclamationPoint,
Laila McQueen,
neither one of you
survived that lip sync.
Sashay away.
Both of us?
Really?
Sorry about it.
How you doing,
mis amores?
My name is Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
Do you want to see my cuckoo?
Cuckoo.
Cuckoo.
I need a space
for this junk in the trunk.
I'm sexy as a goddess is.
I'm funny as a clown.
I am sickening
Did my teeth look yellow?
No.
Ha!
Dax ExclamationPoint
and Laila McQueen, welcome back.
Hello.
Hey, Ru.
So Dax, I hear that the song
"I Will Survive"
is haunting you
everywhere you go.
Is that true?
Yes,
like, literally everywhere I go,
like, it could be a gas station,
grocery store, anywhere,
it just happens to come on.
Listen, if I were you two,
I would seize the moment.
I would record another song.
I would s--call it
"I Didn't Survive."
Wait--what?
Too soon?
You know?
It'd be a huge hit.
But seriously, there are
no losers on "Drag Race."
Dax, what's life been like
since you were on the show?
Honestly, life
has been absolutely amazing.
Like, the fans
have been phenomenal.
I mean, obviously, like,
I don't have as many fans as,
like, you know, Kim Chi
or Bob or Naomi.
That's fine.
It's fine,
but the ones
I do have are phenomenal.
Now, I've got a confession
to make.
Laila McQueen
and I have a secret past.
I deny it, but there's proof.
Take a look.
That little pixie to the right
of me is Laila McQueen
when I was not
running for president
in Manchester, New Hampshire.
You know, my grandmother
calls you Ron Paul.
Now, did you ever
imagine at that point
that you would be on this stage?
Oh, absolutely not.
I mean, I was performing in,
like, function halls
and Mexican restaurants.
Like, I never imagined being
here or anywhere else
around the world.
So now, what's happened
to you because of "Drag Race"?
I get to go everywhere
and meet the people
that love the work I do
and embrace so much love
that I never thought
I would see.
All that at the truck stop?
So Dax, Laila,
you aren't just surviving.
You are thriving.
Thank you.
Next up,
straight from Santee Alley,
Cynthia Lee Fontaine.
Now, since the show,
you've been through it,
haven't you, girl?
Yes, actually the episode
that I been eliminated,
I was experience symptoms.
I'm here to celebrate that.
Wow.
Yes.
And how do you feel right now?
I'm in the discharge process
already right now,
so I feel amazing.
I feel fantastic.
Good. Yeah.
Did any of your drag sisters
reach out to you?
Yes, one special person,
and it's Acid Betty.
That Acid Betty?
That Acid Betty.
Aw...
Yeah, Acid Betty.
She came to visit me as soon
as she knew
that I was diagnosed.
She was taking care of me.
She was like,
"Bitch, you're not alone.
I got your back."
Yep.
Sounds just like her.
I think the positive attitude
from all my entire
new sisterhood
helped me to recovery
and helped me
to be more positive every day.
Wow.
I love it.
Well, Cynthia Lee Fontaine,
we are cuckoo for your cuckoo.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Now a queen
who always picks up when I call
and a badass
in total control of herself.
Let's take a look.
The beauty is here.
My name is Naysha Lopez.
I spend money.
I don't do drag on a dime.
Naysha Lopez, sashay away.
How soon can you get here?
Bitches, I'm back!
Come through!
Face, body, glamour.
Your ass is real?
Yes. Realness, boo.
This acid trip is all real.
My drag style is completely over
the top, punk unicorn realness.
The main bullet point
of Acid Betty is she's a bitch.
I'm not gonna be unprepared
because of you, boo.
Oh! She's serious!
Acid Betty, you've taken us
on one wild trip.
Now, Naysha Lopez, Michelle
and I have a running bet, okay?
That ass of yours, is it real?
So listen, Ru, I--
I eat well.
I work out.
I have 10 ccs
of medical grade silicon.
I--no.
Uh-huh.
That's what I thought.
So on the show
you said your ass was real.
My ass is real.
However, have I had
some enhancements
to the body-ody-ody?
Yeah.
Yes, I have.
Ah.
Now, you missed
the Madonna runway storyline.
Yes.
What would you have worn?
I'm a very creative person,
and what I had going on
was another kimono.
What?
What is it with these queens
and kimonos?
Naysha, thanks for gracing us
with your gorgeous beauty
and that booty twice.
Yes.
Next, Acid Betty.
Now, are you really here,
or am I having a flashback?
That's a good question.
Now, you turned out some killer
looks this season.
Thank you.
How have fans been to you?
I love the fans.
They are the best, the best.
The best thing
of this show are the fans.
The love is so intense,
and it's wonderful.
I actually had a kid
that I met at DragCon,
and they decided that
they were gonna go into fashion
and got a full
scholarship to FIDM
because of seeing me
on the TV show.
Wow. Wow.
Those are the stories
we love to hear.
Now, Acid Betty,
you took a lot of heat
for your Nancy Grace
impersonation,
but some people really,
really liked it.
Take a look.
Acid Betty,
I loved watching you be me,
but frankly,
speaking professionally,
you got a raw deal.
You were robbed.
No tea, no shade,
but unleash the lawyers.
We got a case here.
Nancy Grace?
This show has everything!
Aci, I could go
on talking to you all night,
but I refuse
to say anything further
until I lawyer up.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Acid Betty.
Coming up,
get into the groove
when Robbie, Thorgy, Derrick,
and Chi Chi return,
and find out
who snatches Miss Congeniality.
Plus, are you team Bob,
team Kim Chi,
or team Naomi?
I can't hear you.
Tweet us with #dragrace
as the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
continues.
Hey, all, we'll be
right back!
All right, now we are back.
Now, settle down.
Welcome back
to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Now, the best way to describe
our next three queens
is brassy, Brooklyn,
and Britney, bitch.
Good morning.
My name is Robbie Turner,
and I'm the kindest queen
you'll ever meet.
I want you to be hot
and saucy
Yes, Marilyn.
She's in a league of her own.
I would wear the hell
out of that jumpsuit.
Me, too!
Oh, girl!
Whoo! Thorgy
with a T-H and orgy,
and I feel incredible.
I'm colorful.
I'm fun,
and I'm a fashion clown.
This is harder on me
than it is for you guys.
No, it's not!
That girl is not playin'!
But also I can be,
like, fucking fierce.
Whoo!
I'm so proud of you.
Great job.
Yes!
It'd Derrick, bitch.
I may look angelic,
but I am not that innocent.
I also have a career
with my wigs on.
You'll have a career once
you start gluing yours down.
You have to give us more.
That is not a Britney reference.
Oh!
Oh!
That's how you go out
in style, girls.
Now, Robbie Turner,
how does someone so young know
so much about classic Hollywood?
My mother and father
wouldn't allow us to watch
contemporary films,
so we watched
classic Hollywood films
all the time, so I thought
they were contemporary.
So you can imagine
little baby Robbie
when she's like, "Judy Garland
died many moons ago,"
and it's like, "What?"
Now, what was your favorite
moment on the show?
On my birthday
I won the singing challenge
with the le chicken wings,
and Debbie Harry came back
and said happy birthday to me.
I'm like, um,
I don't see the problem
with this birthday at all--
"Drag Race,"
Debbie, chicken wings.
Sounds like
a dream birthday to me.
Robbie, thank you so much
for all the classic sass.
Oh, and by the way,
I will be sending you a bill
for that broken light bulb
that you did.
Now, that's gonna come out
of next season's budget.
Up next, hey, there,
Thorgy girl.
Hey, Ru.
Yeah!
Now, like Michelle and I,
you and Bob
have a very complicated
relationship.
Well, that's...
one way to put it.
I love to argue
and fight about everything.
I love it.
There's always a way
to tear things apart
and make them better.
Bob can take it from me.
He'll just listen
to me talk and go,
"I still don't like you."
But when people see me
and Bob doing that,
they're like, "Oh, you guys
really don't like each other."
I'm like, "I just love
fighting with him so much,"
but I'm just in love
with Bob very much.
Now, you have dreams
of starting a Thorchestra?
Is that right?
Yeah.
What is a--what's
a Thorchestra?
Well,
ever since I was playing violin
and then I got into,
like, the art of drag,
I wanted to conduct, like,
a 40-piece orchestra.
I wanted to travel the world.
I want, like, Rufus Wainwright
to wheel out on a piano
and be like, "Oh,
my friend Rufus
is here to sing a song."
That's a great idea.
Will you play a little something
for us right now?
Sure.
Oh, my God!
No lip synching here.
That violin is all real.
Thank you, guys.
Well, Thorgy,
I cannot wait to see
what you're gonna do next.
Whoo!
Up next, the 100th queen
to prance into
my workroom--
Hey, Derrick
Whoo!
Now, you struggled to get
out of the Britney box,
as it was called.
Yes.
What's your relationship
with Britney now?
I will always do Britney.
I'm not leaving it behind.
Of course I wanted
to come on the show
to expand what I already do
and take it to the next level,
and I feel like not only can I
do Britney now, I can do drag.
I'm doing drag right now.
Now, Derrick,
throughout the season
you were not afraid
to speak your mind loudly,
especially with Bob and Naomi.
You have any regrets about that?
Everything?
Oh, gosh, it's hard
because I watch it back,
I'm like, "Oh, wow,
I shouldn't have said that.
Probably shouldn't have had
that drink and untucked."
Don't drag
under the influence.
Yes, I have a hard time
taking criticism
because I've never been
criticized like that before.
Doing Britney was
what I've always done,
and I was praised for that,
and now coming
into this competition
it was almost looked down
upon that that was something
that I was known to do.
And I learned so much
from Naomi,
and she taught me
how to block my brows,
and I think I'm doing it now.
Thank you, Derrick,
and I will always think of you
as my genie in a bottle.
Yes, I know
that's a Christina song,
but I've run
out of Britney references!
Give me a break!
Yes.
We love you, Derrick Barry.

Let's take a look.
Laissez les bon temps roulez.
My name is Chi Chi DeVayne,
and I don't get ready.
I stay ready.
My drag is that real southern
dragged out style of drag.
Prove to us
that you're a champion.
Not only have you guys
taught me how to be
a better entertainer,
but you have taught me
how to be a better person,
and $100,000 cannot buy that.
Yes, Louisiana glamour.
When you came to "Drag Race,"
you had quit two jobs
to be on the show.
How many jobs do you have now?
I have one job, Ru,
and I'm a full-time drag queen!
That's what's up.
That's what's up.
How do fans
react when they meet you?
Oh, my God, first time in
New York, I'm in Times Square,
and the shortest little
Hispanic woman
stopped me in the street,
and she just instantly
start crying.
Aw!
That I represented
all of the people
in the world to her
that are out there
struggling to make ends meet
and who have a dream,
and the dream has come true.
Dreams come true, y'all.
Dreams come true.
And speaking of dreams,
the "Dreamgirls" lip sync
that you did,
oh, honey,
that was legendary,
and I'm not the only one
who thought so.
Take a look at this.
You, Miss Chi Chi DeVayne,
are a true inspiration.
I tell you
that your heartfelt rendition
of "And I'm Telling You"
moved me.
And, honey, when those bees
start flying right
after you and I hit
our high note, honey,
you gave me life,
and I'm gonna make you
an official Dreamgirl.
Gagging!
Do you have anything else
you'd like to say?
Thank you from the bottom
of my heart.
You have changed
my life forever.
Thank you.
You made my dreams
come true.
That is the sweetest thing.
I really appreciate that.
I've been watching you
for a long time,
and to have you finally
on the show is really my honor.
Aw. She puts the "hug"
in "thug."
All right, now it's time
to announce the winner
of this year's
Miss Congeniality.
All the way from Moscow
by way of Boston
and a pit stop in Pacoima...
It's Katya.
Hi, Katya.
Hi, Ru.
Hey, listen,
I brought you some water.
Are you thirsty?
So Katya,
what have you been up to?
Oh, my God,
what haven't I been up to?
Listen, I learned
horseback riding.
I've been doing macrame.
I visited, like, 6
out of the 12 continents
in the world.
It's been a whirlwind.
It's been a--
All right, yeah, well,
is there something
you want to tell me?
I mean--
I--well, okay, yeah,
I'm not technically bisexual.
I mean, I'm open.
I'm open--
No, no, no, no, n--no.
No, no,
I am open--listen, I am--
I'm talking about
what you came out here for.
You remember?
You came--
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
Oh, look at this thing. Okay.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, hold--will you hold
this water for me please?
Yeah, sure.

Yup.
Courtesy of the all-new
Fiat 500x crossover

CuCu!

you'd like to say?
This is very important for me

give me the opportunity
