 it would be her makeup.         592 00:22:29,581 --> 00:22:31,817 For Nymphia, it would be           her charisma.                  593 00:22:31,917 --> 00:22:35,287 And for Sapphira,                 it would be her taste.          594 00:22:35,387 --> 00:22:36,855   - Oh!                          595 00:22:36,955 --> 00:22:39,725   Sometimes when an interviewer   asks you to get a little shady, 596 00:22:39,825 --> 00:22:41,827    you don't have to do that.    597 00:22:41,927 --> 00:22:44,196  - So, you know,                  work those out, girls.          598 00:22:44,296 --> 00:22:46,765 Love you so much.                   [smooching]                   599 00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:49,601   - Ah, well, good luck          in the top four.                 600 00:22:49,701 --> 00:22:51,336   I think that you're amazing.   You're so funny.                 601 00:22:51,436 --> 00:22:52,637  And the book is                 602 00:22:52,738 --> 00:22:56,007    "Plane Crash! How I Walked      Away from Disaster."           603 00:22:56,108 --> 00:22:57,642    And there's clearly              many life lessons in there.   604 00:22:57,743 --> 00:23:00,712    - That's right. I'm hoping    for that number-one spot         605 00:23:00,812 --> 00:23:02,547  on "The New York Times"         bestseller list.                 606 00:23:02,647 --> 00:23:05,083    You know, fingers crossed.       - Look out, RuPaul.           607 00:23:05,183 --> 00:23:07,285 - Not to compete                    with Mama, though.            608 00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:08,820  Maybe number 2.                  Maybe number 2.                 609 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,055  - Hello, dear.                    - Hi.                          610 00:23:10,155 --> 00:23:11,890 - How you doing?                  - Oh, I'm doing great.          611 00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:13,725   So I'm reading in your book,   612 00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:15,927    "Slue Foot:                     Embracing All of Me,"          613 00:23:16,027 --> 00:23:18,563    which can you just explain,      what is slue-foot?            614 00:23:18,663 --> 00:23:20,565    - So I have hip dysplasia,    615 00:23:20,665 --> 00:23:23,435   and my foot slues out           to the left...                  616 00:23:23,535 --> 00:23:24,970    - We got a little slue-age.      - Whenever I walk.            617 00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:26,905 And so I kind of                   walk like a pigeon--           618 00:23:27,005 --> 00:23:28,340 I mean, like a--                 - Like a penguin.                619 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,075 - Like a penguin.                - Like a pigeon penguin.         620 00:23:30,175 --> 00:23:31,977    - A pigeon penguin.              [laughter]                    621 00:23:32,077 --> 00:23:35,447 - So there is an amazing            chapter of your book called   622 00:23:35,547 --> 00:23:36,915  "Too Many Cooks                    in the Kitchen"...            623 00:23:37,015 --> 00:23:38,150 - Mm-hmm.                        624 00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:40,152   - That is all                    about your grandmother Nona.   625 00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:41,920 - My Nona, yeah.                   - Your Nona.                   626 00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:45,690  So, if you could describe Nona   in one word, what would it be?  627 00:23:45,791 --> 00:23:47,092 - Loving.                        628 00:23:47,192 --> 00:23:50,962   - Why do you think it is that  little gay boys gravitate        629 00:23:51,062 --> 00:23:52,130    towards their grandmothers?   630 00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:53,432 Because I have that, too.        631 00:23:53,532 --> 00:23:55,100 I always have a soft spot           for my grandmother,           632 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,302  and I do feel like she got me.  633 00:23:57,402 --> 00:24:00,372    - Oddly enough, my Nona had      a very big problem            634 00:24:00,472 --> 00:24:02,040  with my homosexuality.            - Oh, really?                  635 00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:05,510  - And so she kind of was like,   I don't want you to go to hell. 636 00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:09,748   And my mom was like,            you know, that's not...         637 00:24:09,848 --> 00:24:12,083  what sends you to hell, right?  - Right.                         638 00:24:12,184 --> 00:24:13,985    - And, also, I have a thing   639 00:24:14,085 --> 00:24:15,520    that if you have a problem    with me,                         640 00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:16,822    I will give you some space.   641 00:24:16,922 --> 00:24:18,824    And then when I come back,    642 00:24:18,924 --> 00:24:20,525 if you still have                the same problem,                643 00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:22,561 I'll give you more space,        but typically...                 644 00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:24,362    - They missed you.             - They miss me.                 645 00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,565 - Yeah. [laughs]                    - They always miss.           646 00:24:26,665 --> 00:24:28,934   - I mean, come on, I'm going      to miss you when you leave.   647 00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:30,402    I'm already having               separation anxiety.           648 00:24:30,502 --> 00:24:31,670 - Right?                         649 00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:33,472   - Just going back to            the title of your book,         650 00:24:33,572 --> 00:24:37,776  how are you, Sapphira,          embracing all of you now?        651 00:24:37,876 --> 00:24:39,578    - I used to get made fun of   652 00:24:39,678 --> 00:24:41,580   for the fact                   that I walked like that.         653 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,050    And RuPaul calls me           "Slue Foot" all the time.        654 00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:46,651    And at first, I was              a little embarrassed by it.   655 00:24:46,751 --> 00:24:47,953 - Really?                        656 00:24:48,053 --> 00:24:50,188 - But I realized                    it endeared her toward me.    657 00:24:50,288 --> 00:24:54,025    And it made me just embrace     not only my slue foot          658 00:24:54,125 --> 00:24:56,928 but a lot                         of things about myself.         659 00:24:57,028 --> 00:24:59,564  I embrace the fact that           I was homeless once.           660 00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:01,366  - Yeah.                           - I accept me when I'm happy.  661 00:25:01,466 --> 00:25:02,767 I accept me when I'm sad.        662 00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:05,537    I accept me                    when I'm being a bitch,         663 00:25:05,637 --> 00:25:07,639  but I always accept me.         664 00:25:07,739 --> 00:25:09,674  - It's so easy                    to talk to Sapphira.           665 00:25:09,774 --> 00:25:11,209    I mean, she's such a star.    666 00:25:11,309 --> 00:25:12,811    When she walked over to me,   667 00:25:12,911 --> 00:25:14,713  I actually felt                 a little bit intimidated.        668 00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:16,214   But when I'm speaking to her,  669 00:25:16,314 --> 00:25:18,183 she's looking me                 dead in the eyes.                670 00:25:18,283 --> 00:25:19,951    And I'm immediately             on her level.                  671 00:25:20,051 --> 00:25:22,020   Now I guess everyone           reading your book                672 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:24,089    can accept the slue things    about themselves.                673 00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:25,790    - We're all a little slue.       - [laughs]                    674 00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:26,992  - Don't forget.                 675 00:25:27,092 --> 00:25:28,693   Buy my book,                   676 00:25:28,793 --> 00:25:30,996    "Slue Foot:                     Embracing All Of Me."          677 00:25:31,096 --> 00:25:35,333  - "RuPaul's Drag Race"          top 4 contestant,                678 00:25:35,433 --> 00:25:39,170   has that sunk in yet?          - It is absolutely wild.         679 00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:40,739    - So were you one of those      girls that walked in           680 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:42,507   and was like,                    I'm going to the end?          681 00:25:42,607 --> 00:25:44,743    I'm top 4.                      - Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.  682 00:25:44,843 --> 00:25:46,511   - You were feeling it             from the beginning?           683 00:25:46,611 --> 00:25:47,512    - Yes, you have to.           684 00:25:47,612 --> 00:25:48,747 - So here we are,                685 00:25:48,847 --> 00:25:51,783  "Alphabet Soup:                    Savor Every Bite."            686 00:25:51,883 --> 00:25:53,618 I'm guessing that has to         do with the Q of it all.         687 00:25:53,718 --> 00:25:55,687  - Yes, the Q--                   just soaks that all in,         688 00:25:55,787 --> 00:25:58,456   just taste that for a moment.     - [laughs]                    689 00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:01,326  So, from Kansas City, Missouri, to here,                         690 00:26:01,426 --> 00:26:03,295  what's the drag journey            been like for you?            691 00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:04,796    - My mom introduced            me to theater.                  692 00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:07,832   And I did theater all           throughout high school.         693 00:26:07,933 --> 00:26:11,469  And then I started doing drag,   like, my final year of college. 694 00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:13,772  It felt like I finally             belonged somewhere.           695 00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:15,707    - Right, you know,             a lot of queens                 696 00:26:15,807 --> 00:26:18,043  that I talk to                    say that their mother          697 00:26:18,143 --> 00:26:21,012 actually is in their drag          in some way.                   698 00:26:21,112 --> 00:26:24,349   Do you feel like your mother     is represented in your drag?   699 00:26:24,449 --> 00:26:26,551   - Yeah, I definitely              feel like our humor           700 00:26:26,651 --> 00:26:28,753   is, like, very much the same.  - Uh-huh.                        701 00:26:28,853 --> 00:26:31,222    - And, you know, we did all     this artistic stuff together.  702 00:26:31,323 --> 00:26:33,558    And she always was              my biggest supporter in that,  703 00:26:33,658 --> 00:26:35,060    when other people weren't,    704 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,029    so, you know, a lot of her       is in my art form.            705 00:26:38,129 --> 00:26:39,698 - So, speaking of family,        you talk                         706 00:26:39,798 --> 00:26:42,901  about what it was like to grow    up in a low-income household.  707 00:26:43,001 --> 00:26:44,336  - Yeah.                         708 00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,571    - I want to know, was there      a moment when you realized    709 00:26:46,671 --> 00:26:49,240  that your family maybe            had a little bit less          710 00:26:49,341 --> 00:26:51,242    than everyone else,             was in a different situation?  711 00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:54,446  - Usually, like, around          Christmastime, because my mom-- 712 00:26:54,546 --> 00:26:55,747    I could always tell my mom    713 00:26:55,847 --> 00:26:58,049    got, like, in a little bit    of, like, a sadder mood.         714 00:26:58,149 --> 00:26:59,618  And that's when                   I kind of started to realize   715 00:26:59,718 --> 00:27:02,487  there were a lot of times where    our utilities were shut off   716 00:27:02,587 --> 00:27:04,823    or, you know, like, we had       to go eat at our grandma's.   717 00:27:04,923 --> 00:27:06,658   - Your mom was a single mom.   718 00:27:06,758 --> 00:27:08,293 She raised four children.         - Yes.                          719 00:27:08,393 --> 00:27:09,861    - So it's probably               those little things           720 00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:11,663  that everyone takes for granted 721 00:27:11,763 --> 00:27:13,531   that she had to work              extra hard.                   722 00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:14,599  - Yeah.                         723 00:27:14,699 --> 00:27:16,601 - So, if she's listening         to this podcast,                 724 00:27:16,701 --> 00:27:18,570  what would you                     tell Mom listening?           725 00:27:18,670 --> 00:27:22,841  - I would just want to tell you that I love you.                 726 00:27:22,941 --> 00:27:25,176   And thank you for everything   that you've done for me.         727 00:27:25,276 --> 00:27:26,578  And I love you so much.         728 00:27:26,678 --> 00:27:28,313

 that really endears you            to people.                    731 00:27:33,685 --> 00:27:36,054  That has to be so cool          732 00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:38,690    to be able to look back...     - Yeah.                         733 00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:41,393   - And know that there            were such humble beginnings.   734 00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:43,395  And now you look around           at all this.                   735 00:27:43,495 --> 00:27:44,396  - Yeah.                         736 00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:45,930 - That has to be                  really surreal.                 737 00:27:46,031 --> 00:27:48,099  - Yeah, that's kind of           what my book is about.          738 00:27:48,199 --> 00:27:50,935   It's about, savor every bite,  you know?                        739 00:27:51,036 --> 00:27:52,871    The bad things and             the good things                 740 00:27:52,971 --> 00:27:55,674  and all the things that            happen to you in your life,   741 00:27:55,774 --> 00:27:57,842 you know,                          you learn something from it.   742 00:27:57,942 --> 00:28:00,178 And it leads you                 to where you are.                743 00:28:00,278 --> 00:28:01,913 You know,                         bad things can happen,          744 00:28:02,013 --> 00:28:04,616   but your life can still move      on in a very positive way.    745 00:28:04,716 --> 00:28:07,152 Hopefully see me                  with a crown later on.          746 00:28:07,252 --> 00:28:08,586    - [laughs]                      - Thank you so much.           747 00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:12,023   - Nymphia Wind, how are you?      - I'm doing great.            748 00:28:12,123 --> 00:28:14,092  I'm glad I got the memo           of all black.                  749 00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:15,226    - [laughs]                    750 00:28:15,326 --> 00:28:17,362   Well, I got to read a           couple stories                  751 00:28:17,462 --> 00:28:19,731  from your book, "Breaking Wind:  The Art of Letting Go."         752 00:28:19,831 --> 00:28:21,466  - Did you like my book?            - I think you're so funny.    753 00:28:21,566 --> 00:28:23,902   One of your stories,            you tell a date story.          754 00:28:24,002 --> 00:28:27,038   And you talk                   of a harrowing experience        755 00:28:27,138 --> 00:28:28,840    of being ghosted by a date.   756 00:28:28,940 --> 00:28:31,943  - So we did go out in the park    for our second date.           757 00:28:32,043 --> 00:28:34,012  So I went on the slide            on all fours,                  758 00:28:34,112 --> 00:28:35,513   because I didn't want            my ass to get dirty.           759 00:28:35,613 --> 00:28:37,215    - You're on a second date.      You're getting on all fours.   760 00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:38,416  I get it, yeah.                  - Yeah.                         761 00:28:38,516 --> 00:28:39,617 And then after I do that,        762 00:28:39,718 --> 00:28:41,152 I feel, like, this gunky           feeling here.                  763 00:28:41,252 --> 00:28:42,320 - Gunky feeling?                 764 00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:43,722  - I was like, oh, what is that?    So I reached down.            765 00:28:43,822 --> 00:28:46,057   And I touched it, and            I looked up, and I was like,   766 00:28:46,157 --> 00:28:48,359    I think I stepped on shit.    767 00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:49,828   I stepped on dog poo.          768 00:28:49,928 --> 00:28:52,530    And then, like, it somehow     traveled upwards onto my hand.  769 00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:54,165 - And did he help                   you clean off or--            770 00:28:54,265 --> 00:28:56,201   - No.                            - You know what I always say?  771 00:28:56,301 --> 00:28:58,303  If you can't accept me          at my covered in dog poo,        772 00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:00,004   you do not deserve me           at my top four                  773 00:29:00,105 --> 00:29:02,140 on "RuPaul's Drag Race."         - Very much that.                774 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,442  - You were very honest          and candid in this story.        775 00:29:04,542 --> 00:29:07,178    And then you do get             a little bit more revealing.   776 00:29:07,278 --> 00:29:10,548    You talk about what it was      like growing up in Taiwan...   777 00:29:10,648 --> 00:29:11,649 - Mm-hmm.                        778 00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,451   - And being inundated             with images                   779 00:29:13,551 --> 00:29:15,587 and media from the West.          - Yeah.                         780 00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:19,824  Growing up, seeing a white man,    high features, a tall nose    781 00:29:19,924 --> 00:29:22,293    and the brow bones and the      thick brows and the beard...   782 00:29:22,393 --> 00:29:23,862  - Yeah.                           - The beauty standard          783 00:29:23,962 --> 00:29:25,463  of the world was that.          - Right.                         784 00:29:25,563 --> 00:29:27,165  - It was, like, looking         into the mirror,                 785 00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:30,869    I was like, I look            nothing like that at all.        786 00:29:30,969 --> 00:29:33,705  It just really created             this self-doubting,           787 00:29:33,805 --> 00:29:36,207   like, I don't feel attractive   because I don't look like that. 788 00:29:36,307 --> 00:29:38,710   Do I have the ability          to attract anyone                789 00:29:38,810 --> 00:29:41,780    that would like me              for just my natural features?  790 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,483   I just never knew if I could      ever escape that, you know?   791 00:29:45,583 --> 00:29:49,187  So I always played with makeup     and cross-dressing.           792 00:29:49,287 --> 00:29:52,690    I felt like I could really      change up how I look,          793 00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:55,293 and I can escape                    my face in a sense.           794 00:29:55,393 --> 00:29:59,697  - It's like drag helps             you bring out a fantasy...    795 00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:00,799  - Yeah.                         796 00:30:00,899 --> 00:30:03,268  - But also helped hide          things in a way.                 797 00:30:03,368 --> 00:30:05,403  - Yeah, I really hated looking    in the mirror                  798 00:30:05,503 --> 00:30:07,071  in general growing up.          - Really?                        799 00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,206  - Yeah.                         800 00:30:08,306 --> 00:30:09,474  Even till now,                   I don't have the habit          801 00:30:09,574 --> 00:30:11,843 of staring myself                 into the mirror                 802 00:30:11,943 --> 00:30:13,478    unless I have to do makeup.     - Mm.                          803 00:30:13,578 --> 00:30:16,347    - And that is still            something that I am...          804 00:30:16,447 --> 00:30:18,883   building upon--my confidence.  805 00:30:18,983 --> 00:30:22,053 So I feel like drag, even         though may not be able to solve 806 00:30:22,153 --> 00:30:23,254  the problem...                  - Right.                         807 00:30:23,354 --> 00:30:24,489  - It really did help me         808 00:30:24,589 --> 00:30:26,491    to, you know, build my own     self-confidence                 809 00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:29,093   and, even without the makeup,     still looking in the mirror   810 00:30:29,194 --> 00:30:30,161   and feel like, you know what?  811 00:30:30,261 --> 00:30:31,796    There is something            beautiful there.                 812 00:30:31,896 --> 00:30:34,933  - Nymphia, I can tell,             is really opening up to me    813 00:30:35,033 --> 00:30:36,935  the more I talk to her,            and I'm excited about that    814 00:30:37,035 --> 00:30:39,871 because she's got                  a very unique story to tell.   815 00:30:39,971 --> 00:30:42,807   Just because someone appears    like they are taking on         816 00:30:42,907 --> 00:30:44,709 the world and are                  extremely confident,           817 00:30:44,809 --> 00:30:48,413  there is still that insecurity   and vulnerability at the core,  818 00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:51,082 which every single person           can identify with.            819 00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:53,218  - Hopefully it can help         someone out there                820 00:30:53,318 --> 00:30:55,353  who's still struggling           and finding themselves          821 00:30:55,453 --> 00:30:57,555    and finding what's              beautiful about them.          822 00:30:57,655 --> 00:30:59,123    - So, Nymphia Wind,           823 00:30:59,224 --> 00:31:03,094    the book is "Breaking Wind:    The Art of Letting Go."         824 00:31:03,194 --> 00:31:05,864 Break wind and break legs           in the competition.           825 00:31:05,964 --> 00:31:07,732    - In the interview,           it just felt really good         826 00:31:07,832 --> 00:31:09,667  because all I had to do            was just be myself.           827 00:31:09,767 --> 00:31:12,170   - Now walk that stunning ass   off this runway.                 828 00:31:12,270 --> 00:31:14,372   - Oh, you want to see            my ass again?                  829 00:31:14,472 --> 00:31:15,673 - I really do, actually.          - Bye.                          830 00:31:15,773 --> 00:31:18,309 - There it goes.                 Oh, wow.                         831 00:31:18,409 --> 00:31:19,677 Amazing.                         832 00:31:19,777 --> 00:31:23,147   - [speaking Mandarin]          833 00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:26,751   I said, "These queens            can underestimate me,          834 00:31:26,851 --> 00:31:29,921 but the one who's                 winning is me."                 835 00:31:33,424 --> 00:31:35,894   [all yelling]                  836 00:31:35,994 --> 00:31:38,663    - Whoo-hoo!                   837 00:31:38,763 --> 00:31:40,732 - It's a new day                 in the Werk Room.                838 00:31:40,832 --> 00:31:42,300  And it's judgment day.          839 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,903 And I am                         in my self-confident era.        840 00:31:45,003 --> 00:31:48,273    And I'm believing in myself    that I am absolutely not going  841 00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:50,208    to land in the bottom two.    842 00:31:50,308 --> 00:31:53,344  - This has been                 such a wild ride.                843 00:31:53,444 --> 00:31:55,413 - And we made it.                - And we made it.                844 00:31:55,513 --> 00:31:56,648 - And we made it.                845 00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:58,483   - How do you all feel            about the challenge?           846 00:31:58,583 --> 00:31:59,951   - I feel really good.          847 00:32:00,051 --> 00:32:01,552  My look was sickening.          848 00:32:01,653 --> 00:32:03,621 My interview went                really sickening.                849 00:32:03,721 --> 00:32:05,290  I'm sickening.                  850 00:32:05,390 --> 00:32:08,092   - Those are some bold claims.     - [laughs]                    851 00:32:08,192 --> 00:32:10,228   I think I have a great chance     of winning this challenge.    852 00:32:10,328 --> 00:32:13,131  I think my stories are             insightful                    853 00:32:13,231 --> 00:32:14,699  as to, like, who I am.          854 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:16,301   - I feel good                     about the challenge           855 00:32:16,401 --> 00:32:17,468  because this challenge          856 00:32:17,568 --> 00:32:19,470  was all about literally         being ourselves.                 857 00:32:19,570 --> 00:32:20,672 - Mm-hmm.                           - Yeah, literally.            858 00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:24,409 - And that's what                   I kind of excel at.           859 00:32:24,509 --> 00:32:26,110    - How do you feel, Nymphia?   860 00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:28,546    - Oh, I felt really            good doing it.                  861 00:32:28,646 --> 00:32:29,747    I felt comfortable.           862 00:32:29,847 --> 00:32:31,816   And finally for once,             after a challenge,            863 00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:34,185 I feel confident                 with what I did.                 864 00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:35,853  - Good.                         865 00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:38,089   - Everybody is feeling great      about how they did,           866 00:32:38,189 --> 00:32:42,260    so that kind of, you know,     worries me a little bit         867 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,262 because somebody                   has to be in the top,          868 00:32:44,362 --> 00:32:46,364 somebody                         has to be in the bottom.         869 00:32:46,464 --> 00:32:47,598 What do you think                870 00:32:47,699 --> 00:32:50,101 was your strongest point            in the competition?           871 00:32:50,201 --> 00:32:52,570   And what do you think          was, like, your weakest?         872 00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:54,706    - I think my strongest part      of the competition            873 00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:57,275   was the competition.              - Oh, just the whole thing?   874 00:32:57,375 --> 00:32:59,344   - I just think I was            strong the whole time.          875 00:32:59,444 --> 00:33:01,112 The weakest part                 of my competition                876 00:33:01,212 --> 00:33:02,747    was the makeover challenge.   877 00:33:02,847 --> 00:33:05,783    But I felt like I was able       to let go in that lip sync    878 00:33:05,883 --> 00:33:07,051   and really have fun.           879 00:33:07,151 --> 00:33:08,953   I want to be                    in the finale so badly.         880 00:33:09,053 --> 00:33:10,221   So get out of my way.          881 00:33:10,321 --> 00:33:11,656 It's time for me                    to go get my crown.           882 00:33:11,756 --> 00:33:13,291 Thank you, girls.                  It's been nice seeing y'all.   883 00:33:13,391 --> 00:33:14,659   I'll see y'all after.          884 00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:16,828  I'm going to take y'all           on vacation.                   885 00:33:16,928 --> 00:33:18,629    [laughing]                    886 00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:20,832   - I think one                     of my highest moments was,    887 00:33:20,932 --> 00:33:22,934 the outfit I made                 for the goth challenge          888 00:33:23,034 --> 00:33:25,236  was just, like, beyond anything    I thought I could do, like,   889 00:33:25,336 --> 00:33:26,738  in that amount of time.           - That was sickening.          890 00:33:26,838 --> 00:33:28,072    - In a day?                      - In a day.                   891 00:33:28,172 --> 00:33:29,640 And the lowest--                    actually, my lowest           892 00:33:29,741 --> 00:33:31,442 is not even when                 I was in the bottom two.         893 00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:33,311   I feel like my lowest             was, like,                    894 00:33:33,411 --> 00:33:34,979  how hard I was being on myself  895 00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:36,848    for, like,                     the bathroom challenge.         896 00:33:36,948 --> 00:33:38,116  - Yeah.                         897 00:33:38,216 --> 00:33:39,617   - I think my journey              here at "Drag Race"           898 00:33:39,717 --> 00:33:41,786    has been a really,              really exciting one.           899 00:33:41,886 --> 00:33:43,454   I won two challenges.          900 00:33:43,554 --> 00:33:46,391   I've lip-synched for the win.   I've lip-synched to stay here.  901 00:33:46,491 --> 00:33:49,293 That says something about         America's next drag superstar,  902 00:33:49,394 --> 00:33:52,030    that they are this             multidimensional person         903 00:33:52,130 --> 00:33:55,133  that has their up days            and low days.                  904 00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:58,436    - I will say, that bathroom     challenge got to me as well,   905 00:33:58,536 --> 00:34:00,438  just because it                   happened at the point          906 00:34:00,538 --> 00:34:02,340   that it happened at.           907 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,009    - Girl, it got to me, too,     because of you.                 908 00:34:05,109 --> 00:34:06,711 [laughs]                         It got to me through you.        909 00:34:06,811 --> 00:34:08,312    - Through me, yeah.           910 00:34:08,413 --> 00:34:09,414 - But then you turned it           the fuck out.                  911 00:34:09,514 --> 00:34:10,915    - Exactly, we did.            912 00:34:11,015 --> 00:34:14,786    Yes, I had a moment             of self-doubt                  913 00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:17,622  where, you know, I did          sort of let the pressure         914 00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:19,057  crack me a bit,                 915 00:34:19,157 --> 00:34:20,892   but I pieced myself together.  916 00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:24,028  And, yeah, I just went          full steam ahead.                917 00:34:24,128 --> 00:34:27,031 - How about you, Nymphia?         - What was your lowest?         918 00:34:27,131 --> 00:34:28,299   - I think it's similar to Q,   919 00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:30,034    where in the middle              of the competition,           920 00:34:30,134 --> 00:34:31,936   I was really                     insecure about myself          921 00:34:32,036 --> 00:34:33,538 and just really not sure.        922 00:34:33,638 --> 00:34:35,306  - I could really never            tell with you                  923 00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:37,508 whether you were actually        unsure or, like--                924 00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:38,910 - Playing a game?                925 00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:41,312   - I'm just really struggling.  926 00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:43,114  - Nobody believes you, Nymphia. 927 00:34:43,214 --> 00:34:44,715  - I'm so stressed out.          928 00:34:44,816 --> 00:34:46,551   - Girl, don't play this time.  929 00:34:46,651 --> 00:34:49,754  - What kind of game can I play     or, like, gain from           930 00:34:49,854 --> 00:34:51,656  if I act like I'm just nervous? 931 00:34:51,756 --> 00:34:53,591   - Because you would be saying  932 00:34:53,691 --> 00:34:55,660   that you're, like, you know,    not confident.                  933 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,429  And then you would come out in,  like, a sickening runway look,  934 00:34:58,529 --> 00:35:00,631    and you would kill             the challenge.                  935 00:35:00,731 --> 00:35:03,201 - No, because that for me          is when I feel very insecure   936 00:35:03,301 --> 00:35:05,036  is when I'm turned off.         937 00:35:05,136 --> 00:35:07,371  Like, I just feel--like, those    are genuine feelings           938 00:35:07,472 --> 00:35:10,842   where I feel very nervous and    really in doubt and insecure.  939 00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:13,611    But, like, on the stage, I,    like, instantly have to turn on 940 00:35:13,711 --> 00:35:15,179  because you don't have          any other choice.                941 00:35:15,279 --> 00:35:16,547 - You don't. No.                 942 00:35:16,647 --> 00:35:18,216    - I can understand             how these other queens          943 00:35:18,316 --> 00:35:20,384    can see this as a strategy.   944 00:35:20,485 --> 00:35:23,588  But, honestly, this is          just how my brain works.         945 00:35:23,688 --> 00:35:25,756    And, like, there's             no strategy behind it.          946 00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:28,593 All my struggles and all            my self-doubt are all real.   947 00:35:28,693 --> 00:35:30,828  And it's just a process for me. 948 00:35:33,464 --> 00:35:37,068   - What was everybody's, like,   first impression of each other  949 00:35:37,168 --> 00:35:38,603 when we, like, first met?        950 00:35:38,703 --> 00:35:40,738 - Sapphira and Q,                 I first met when y'all          951 00:35:40,838 --> 00:35:42,673    walked into the Werk Room.    952 00:35:42,773 --> 00:35:43,941  And Sapphira walked in          953 00:35:44,041 --> 00:35:45,543 with those really bright          contact lenses.                 954 00:35:45,643 --> 00:35:47,178 They were very striking.         955 00:35:47,278 --> 00:35:50,915 And her breasts, they've            truly experienced a growth    956 00:35:51,015 --> 00:35:52,350  throughout the season.          957 00:35:52,450 --> 00:35:54,385    [laughter]                    958 00:35:54,485 --> 00:35:56,187    - She said, first,              Fisher-Price.                  959 00:35:56,287 --> 00:35:59,023  Now, the world.                   - [laughing]                   960 00:35:59,123 --> 00:36:01,092   - But, yeah, Sapphira          definitely had a presence        961 00:36:01,192 --> 00:36:03,227   when she first walked           into that room.                 962 00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:05,663   Q, on the other hand,            was stumbling                  963 00:36:05,763 --> 00:36:07,131  over her two left feet, honey.  964 00:36:07,231 --> 00:36:08,599  - I don't know                  why you say that.                965 00:36:08,699 --> 00:36:09,967  I walked in just fine.          966 00:36:10,067 --> 00:36:12,103   - She was wobbling--wobbling    on those kitten heels.          967 00:36:12,203 --> 00:36:13,471    - Whatever.                   968 00:36:13,571 --> 00:36:15,439  I think Plane and I are           very similar                   969 00:36:15,540 --> 00:36:17,308  to, like, my sisters back home. 970 00:36:17,408 --> 00:36:19,277 We always read each other           to absolute filth.            971 00:36:19,377 --> 00:36:21,312    And, you know, that's part       of what makes us so close.    972 00:36:21,412 --> 00:36:22,947  It's kind of like when           everybody says                  973 00:36:23,047 --> 00:36:24,448 I'm the only one                   that couldn't dance,           974 00:36:24,549 --> 00:36:26,951    but then Plane would get up      there and rattle her bones    975 00:36:27,051 --> 00:36:29,020   around on the stage.              [laughter]                    976 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,223   - Excuse me, rattle my bones?   - Not rattle her bones.         977 00:36:32,323 --> 00:36:35,259   [vocalizing goofily]              [laughter]                    978 00:36:35,359 --> 00:36:39,197   I'm not saying that you did.    [wild laughter]                 979 00:36:39,297 --> 00:36:42,099  - Get her ass.                    Get her ass.                   980 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,467   Get her ass.                   981 00:36:43,568 --> 00:36:46,737 - My rattling bones look           far more graceful, delicate,   982 00:36:46,837 --> 00:36:50,241   and coordinated than anything  983 00:36:50,341 --> 00:36:52,743   that you could ever pull out,   Miss Q.                         984 00:36:52,843 --> 00:36:55,413    You know, I may be rattling     my bones out of drag,          985 00:36:55,513 --> 00:36:57,982  but there's a lot of padding in  drag, and it looks really good. 986 00:36:58,082 --> 00:36:59,283    - It did look good.           987 00:36:59,383 --> 00:37:02,053 - I have the body for it,        unlike my sweet sisters,         988 00:37:02,153 --> 00:37:03,654 you know, sitting up here         with me today.                  989 00:37:03,754 --> 00:37:05,156  - You have the                    oatmeal brows for it.          990 00:37:05,256 --> 00:37:06,591  - Shit.                         991 00:37:06,691 --> 00:37:09,026    - Sister...                   992 00:37:09,126 --> 00:37:12,230  [wild laughter]                 993 00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:14,465    - God damn.                   994 00:37:14,565 --> 00:37:15,600   - Shank her.                   995 00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:17,635 The love language                 of a drag queen                 996 00:37:17,735 --> 00:37:19,403   is definitely throwing shade.  997 00:37:19,503 --> 00:37:21,639 So I feel like as                   a group, season 16            998 00:37:21,739 --> 00:37:23,608    has really bonded in a way    that we're so comfortable        999 00:37:23,708 --> 00:37:24,675 with each other.                 1000 00:37:24,775 --> 00:37:25,977 - I need to work                  on my blending,                 1001 00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:27,812    so Nymphia doesn't read me,      so y'all have fun.            1002 00:37:27,912 --> 00:37:30,715 - I mean, you're                 a lost cause in a sense.         1003 00:37:30,815 --> 00:37:33,184

--> 00:37:42,260    for many episodes, but it's     not going to happen.           1008 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,563    - Well, we'll see.               We have one last challenge.   1009

00:44:30,801 And you counting them up,        like, one, you, two, you,        1163 00:44:30,901 --> 00:44:32,870   I'm stomping                   you with this slue foot.         1164 00:44:32,970 --> 00:44:35,472  - And when you're talking about   you used to be self-conscious  1165 00:44:35,572 --> 00:44:38,375    about it, it's so funny how      we see that so differently    1166 00:44:38,475 --> 00:44:39,677   from this side of the table.   1167 00:44:39,777 --> 00:44:42,479  I love that you grabbed           the bull by the horns          1168 00:44:42,579 --> 00:44:45,049   and called your book             "Slue Foot."                   1169 00:44:45,149 --> 00:44:48,018    - You reclaimed it              and made it something          1170 00:44:48,118 --> 00:44:50,487    that you could take              to tell your story.           1171 00:44:50,587 --> 00:44:51,755 That's brilliant.                1172 00:44:51,855 --> 00:44:53,924  - You're there                    in that Missy Elliott squad.   1173 00:44:54,024 --> 00:44:55,893 You are full of defiance.        1174 00:44:55,993 --> 00:44:57,094    - That's Lil' Kim.            1175 00:44:57,194 --> 00:44:59,630    [laughter]                    1176 00:44:59,730 --> 00:45:03,367 - Marketing 101,                    show the slue foot.           1177 00:45:03,467 --> 00:45:05,736 And that's what you did.         1178 00:45:05,836 --> 00:45:07,471   Nymphia Wind.                  1179 00:45:07,571 --> 00:45:09,006    - Your book-cover photo is,   1180 00:45:09,106 --> 00:45:11,442 as a single piece                  of photography, my favorite.   1181 00:45:11,542 --> 00:45:13,811   It sells exactly who you are.  1182 00:45:13,911 --> 00:45:15,412  - This look tonight, adorable.  1183 00:45:15,512 --> 00:45:18,549    I think my favorite thing,    obviously, the fan nails.        1184 00:45:18,649 --> 00:45:19,950 To be completely honest,         1185 00:45:20,050 --> 00:45:21,719  if I never see another            Marie Antoinette look          1186 00:45:21,819 --> 00:45:24,488  on this runway,                  nobody will be happier than me. 1187 00:45:24,588 --> 00:45:27,624    - My favorite part               of your look is definitely    1188 00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:29,026   your hot pussy, girl.          1189 00:45:29,126 --> 00:45:32,596  It just is definitely on fire.     [laughter]                    1190 00:45:32,696 --> 00:45:36,400   - Every T is crossed.             Every I is dotted with you.   1191 00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:38,035 I don't worry about that.        1192 00:45:38,135 --> 00:45:40,404    What I worry about            is the self-love                 1193 00:45:40,504 --> 00:45:43,040    that I want to give to you,    because you deserve it.         1194 00:45:43,140 --> 00:45:45,976 It tore me apart                    hearing the disdain           1195 00:45:46,076 --> 00:45:47,911    that you experience             when you look in the mirror.   1196 00:45:48,011 --> 00:45:50,948  But the fact that you shared it  with us was priceless.          1197 00:45:51,048 --> 00:45:52,049   - Thank you.                   1198 00:45:52,149 --> 00:45:53,684  - Watching your                    podcast interview,            1199 00:45:53,784 --> 00:45:56,420  the part of your story            that was about Taiwan          1200 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,522   and your self-esteem,           I was riveted.                  1201 00:45:58,622 --> 00:46:01,158  - During that podcast,          1202 00:46:01,258 --> 00:46:03,594 we fell in love with you.        1203 00:46:03,694 --> 00:46:06,130   You revealed so much           1204 00:46:06,230 --> 00:46:08,031    of the pain                   that you've been through.        1205 00:46:08,132 --> 00:46:11,135  And by shining a light             of awareness on it,           1206 00:46:11,235 --> 00:46:13,203   that is the cure right there.  1207 00:46:13,303 --> 00:46:15,005    Through the course              of this competition,           1208 00:46:15,105 --> 00:46:17,641   you know, you've been             a little squirrely            1209 00:46:17,741 --> 00:46:20,210    with trying to get              a straight answer out of you.  1210 00:46:20,310 --> 00:46:23,213  - I think a lot of times, it's   trying to think of what to say. 1211 00:46:23,313 --> 00:46:25,182  But, like, with that challenge,    it was like, you know what?   1212 00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:27,885    Just, like, take in            a deep breath and relax         1213 00:46:27,985 --> 00:46:30,220 and really just--because           the only thing you have to do  1214 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,890  is just be yourself, and you're  telling your own story.         1215 00:46:32,990 --> 00:46:35,392  - Please remember that.            That is the answer.           1216 00:46:35,492 --> 00:46:38,462  That's the right answer          right there--that's it.         1217 00:46:38,562 --> 00:46:41,365   Up next, Plane Jane.           1218 00:46:41,465 --> 00:46:43,600    - Tonight you look amazing.   1219 00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:47,805   This Aphrodite goddess look,   I love all of it.                1220 00:46:47,905 --> 00:46:49,640  - This looks like a Bob Mackie. 1221 00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:53,243 This looks like something           that was on "The Cher Show"   1222 00:46:53,343 --> 00:46:54,878   or "The Carol Burnett Show."   1223 00:46:54,978 --> 00:46:58,949  - But your book cover,             it didn't do this.            1224 00:46:59,049 --> 00:47:01,418    - That hair was very small.   1225 00:47:01,518 --> 00:47:02,920  - It was a human unit,          1226 00:47:03,020 --> 00:47:04,955 so they tend to be less,           you know, voluminous.          1227 00:47:05,055 --> 00:47:07,024  - You didn't want to tease her? 1228 00:47:07,124 --> 00:47:10,127  - She had a little face tease.  1229 00:47:10,227 --> 00:47:12,796   - We tried to pump up           that flat hair.                 1230 00:47:12,896 --> 00:47:14,531  - Ooh.                            - We put a fan on it.          1231 00:47:14,631 --> 00:47:17,034    [laughter]                    1232 00:47:17,134 --> 00:47:18,735    I had you flipping             that hair trying to get         1233 00:47:18,836 --> 00:47:20,170 some volume up in there.         1234 00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:22,973    - In the podcast interview,      I struggled to see            1235 00:47:23,073 --> 00:47:24,641   how the pieces come together.  1236 00:47:24,741 --> 00:47:26,376    You know, there was           the slightly shadier part        1237 00:47:26,476 --> 00:47:27,744    of the discussion,            1238 00:47:27,845 --> 00:47:29,713    but then the other stories     didn't connect to that,         1239 00:47:29,813 --> 00:47:32,583    nor did they really connect    with the theme of walking away  1240 00:47:32,683 --> 00:47:34,284 from disaster or trauma.         1241 00:47:34,384 --> 00:47:35,719  - I needed to hear you.         1242 00:47:35,819 --> 00:47:37,254  And I didn't get that.          1243 00:47:37,354 --> 00:47:41,558 What I got from this was,           you a shady bitch.            1244 00:47:41,658 --> 00:47:43,760    - [laughs]                    - This book is about you.        1245 00:47:43,861 --> 00:47:46,430  And I didn't know who you were. 1246 00:47:46,530 --> 00:47:48,866    - Every time I go and talk    to you in the Werk Room,         1247 00:47:48,966 --> 00:47:51,101  I could see you                 go into your head                1248 00:47:51,201 --> 00:47:53,937   to be very deliberate          about what you're saying.        1249 00:47:54,037 --> 00:47:55,572 Why do you think                 1250 00:47:55,672 --> 00:47:59,843 you don't reveal                  more of the underbelly?         1251 00:47:59,943 --> 00:48:04,081   - I feel very, very powerful   and very secure in myself        1252 00:48:04,181 --> 00:48:05,349 when I'm in drag.                - Mm-hmm.                        1253 00:48:05,449 --> 00:48:09,086 - And I don't necessarily        feel like that very much         1254 00:48:09,186 --> 00:48:10,687   when I'm out of drag,          1255 00:48:10,787 --> 00:48:14,224 so I've kind of built up           this persona.                  1256 00:48:14,324 --> 00:48:17,461  And that's what I kind of lead     with as Plane Jane.           1257 00:48:17,561 --> 00:48:19,830    - Yeah. No, listen,           I understand completely.         1258 00:48:19,930 --> 00:48:21,031    Just in terms of marketing,   1259 00:48:21,131 --> 00:48:23,500    in terms of show business,    in terms of life,                1260 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,869  it's revealing                     the soft underbelly           1261 00:48:25,969 --> 00:48:28,939  that allows people to love you. 1262 00:48:29,039 --> 00:48:31,608   - Thank you so much.           1263 00:48:31,708 --> 00:48:34,544   - Thank you, queens.              I think we've heard enough.   1264 00:48:34,645 --> 00:48:36,580    While you untuck backstage,   1265 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,849   the judges and I will             deliberate.                   1266 00:48:38,949 --> 00:48:41,952 [dramatic music]                 1267 00:48:42,052 --> 00:48:44,354  All right, just between           us squirrel-friends,           1268 00:48:44,454 --> 00:48:46,290  I want to know what you think.  1269 00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:47,858    Let's start with Q.           1270 00:48:47,958 --> 00:48:50,994  - Listen, Q has kind of killed   it throughout the competition,  1271 00:48:51,094 --> 00:48:52,162  save from a few times.          1272 00:48:52,262 --> 00:48:53,697    Right out the box,             we fell in love                 1273 00:48:53,797 --> 00:48:55,299   with her in the talent show.   1274 00:48:55,399 --> 00:48:57,534  And then she did that gorgeous  welcome to the dollhouse.        1275 00:48:57,634 --> 00:48:58,802 She won that one.                1276 00:48:58,902 --> 00:49:00,437 See you next Wednesday--         1277 00:49:00,537 --> 00:49:02,839  that huge coat, it was            absolutely gorgeous.           1278 00:49:02,940 --> 00:49:04,675 And then she did                 the DragCon 1980.                1279 00:49:04,775 --> 00:49:06,376   It had the red-ribbon collar,  1280 00:49:06,476 --> 00:49:08,412   where she then came out to us    as positive.                   1281 00:49:08,512 --> 00:49:10,914 And that was very honest          and vulnerable.                 1282 00:49:11,014 --> 00:49:13,884  - You know, I can see that this   is an incredibly strong queen  1283 00:49:13,984 --> 00:49:16,920  who's capable of really           inventive, interesting looks.  1284 00:49:17,020 --> 00:49:20,090 I just didn't see that on         display in this episode enough. 1285 00:49:20,190 --> 00:49:22,993  - The look for the book cover,   I wanted more.                  1286 00:49:23,093 --> 00:49:25,128 - She chose this                   Belle A-line design,           1287 00:49:25,228 --> 00:49:26,730   but it was all frilly             and stuff.                    1288 00:49:26,830 --> 00:49:29,299   So, yes, it's beautiful as is     everything that she makes,    1289 00:49:29,399 --> 00:49:32,269   but she couldn't do much with    it as far as the shape goes.   1290 00:49:32,369 --> 00:49:34,004 And that's what we got--         1291 00:49:34,104 --> 00:49:36,373   her standing                      in a bowl of alphabet soup.   1292 00:49:36,473 --> 00:49:38,408 And I'm not sure                   that really tells me           1293 00:49:38,508 --> 00:49:39,576  what the book is about.         1294 00:49:39,676 --> 00:49:42,446    - I didn't sense who Q is.    1295 00:49:42,546 --> 00:49:46,550   In the podcast, once Q starts  opening up about her mom,        1296 00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:47,918   there's something real there.  1297 00:49:48,018 --> 00:49:50,087  But that was quite late           in the game.                   1298 00:49:50,187 --> 00:49:52,155   - You know, she wants to win     all the time.                  1299 00:49:52,255 --> 00:49:53,790    And you can kind of see her   striving for it.                 1300 00:49:53,890 --> 00:49:55,659  So, when she doesn't do         as well,                         1301 00:49:55,759 --> 00:49:57,027    you could also see               the disappointment.           1302 00:49:57,127 --> 00:49:59,296  And I worry that she's            a little too hard on herself   1303 00:49:59,396 --> 00:50:01,631   when she doesn't do as well.   1304 00:50:01,732 --> 00:50:03,600  - All right, let's talk          about Sapphira.                 1305 00:50:03,700 --> 00:50:07,971  - The podcast just made me say,   I love you because I am you.   1306 00:50:08,071 --> 00:50:11,141    And I love a person             who operates in forgiveness.   1307 00:50:11,241 --> 00:50:14,544    - Now, in this competition,   she started out a winner,        1308 00:50:14,644 --> 00:50:16,880   with Ruveal Yourself           and then her James Brown.        1309 00:50:16,980

  in this whole season,           her DragCon 1980 look.          1312 00:50:23,286 --> 00:50:25,155  Such a fantastic queen.         1313 00:50:25,255 --> 00:50:28,725  - I could see Sapphira             doing a book tour for real.   1314 00:50:28,825 --> 00:50:31,061 - Mm-hmm.                          - And I would buy that book.   1315 00:50:31,161 --> 00:50:32,596   - I would buy that book, too.  1316 00:50:32,696 --> 00:50:34,598    - I'm going to buy              anything called "Slue Foot."   1317 00:50:34,698 --> 00:50:36,533    - [laughs]                       - That too.                   1318 00:50:36,633 --> 00:50:38,235  - I'm want some                    barbecue slue foot.           1319 00:50:38,335 --> 00:50:40,971   - How would you call              someone slue foot?            1320 00:50:41,071 --> 00:50:44,107 - This look that she had          tonight was...                  1321 00:50:44,207 --> 00:50:46,143 sickening, honey.                - Mm-hmm.                        1322 00:50:46,243 --> 00:50:49,746  - I mean, I fell completely in   love with the way she painted.  1323 00:50:49,846 --> 00:50:51,581 I liked the way the blue            was on her.                   1324 00:50:51,681 --> 00:50:52,883   - She fixed the breastplate.   1325 00:50:52,983 --> 00:50:54,885  She's listening to everything.  1326 00:50:54,985 --> 00:50:56,987   And she's putting it             into motion.                   1327 00:50:57,087 --> 00:50:58,789    - Nymphia.                    1328 00:50:58,889 --> 00:51:01,358 - Now, Nymphia has really           nailed it every single time   1329 00:51:01,458 --> 00:51:02,993  she's come out on this runway.  1330 00:51:03,093 --> 00:51:04,728 She won the ball, y'all.         1331 00:51:04,828 --> 00:51:06,696    She had so many incredible     looks--                         1332 00:51:06,797 --> 00:51:08,899  her Faster, Pussycat! Wig Wig!  1333 00:51:08,999 --> 00:51:11,034  The Butoh, the dancing            that she did                   1334 00:51:11,134 --> 00:51:12,836 was absolutely glorious.         1335 00:51:12,936 --> 00:51:15,539    But the thing that             I've struggled with Nymphia is, 1336 00:51:15,639 --> 00:51:18,608  she's so uncomfortable          in her own skin.                 1337 00:51:18,708 --> 00:51:21,411   And then we got the podcast.   1338 00:51:21,511 --> 00:51:24,047    And when she stopped doing      that runaround thing           1339 00:51:24,147 --> 00:51:27,150    that she does all the time,      because that's her defense,   1340 00:51:27,250 --> 00:51:29,853 that was the death of old        Nymphia and the rebirth.         1341 00:51:29,953 --> 00:51:31,154   We watched it happen.          1342 00:51:31,254 --> 00:51:32,789    - I felt like I was seeing    1343 00:51:32,889 --> 00:51:35,425    a queen discovering herself     in real time.                  1344 00:51:35,525 --> 00:51:36,960    - You know,                   you're absolutely right.         1345 00:51:37,060 --> 00:51:39,596  Tonight she really came            into her own power.           1346 00:51:39,696 --> 00:51:42,866    - That book cover,              Ru, Grace Jones, yes?          1347 00:51:42,966 --> 00:51:44,901 - Uh-huh.                          - It was everything.           1348 00:51:45,001 --> 00:51:46,703   - It was perfection.           1349 00:51:46,803 --> 00:51:50,073  - I think tonight was a massive breakthrough for Nymphia.        1350 00:51:50,173 --> 00:51:51,441   - Plane Jane.                  1351 00:51:51,541 --> 00:51:53,910    - Plane Jane had us              at "Burger Finger."           1352 00:51:54,010 --> 00:51:55,445   - [laughing]                   1353 00:51:55,545 --> 00:51:57,247   - She has been such a           powerhouse from the beginning.  1354 00:51:57,347 --> 00:52:00,083 "Made You Look,"                   the Octomom she chose          1355 00:52:00,183 --> 00:52:01,718 for the powerful mother,         you know?                        1356 00:52:01,818 --> 00:52:02,986  - Snatch Game.                  1357 00:52:03,086 --> 00:52:05,655   - Snatch Game, and it            was amazing to watch.          1358 00:52:05,755 --> 00:52:08,225   - What really turned             it for me was the way          1359 00:52:08,325 --> 00:52:09,726    she turned out Lazy Susan.    1360 00:52:09,826 --> 00:52:11,228    It was so amazing.            1361 00:52:11,328 --> 00:52:14,531    - But the podcast interview    really suggested to me          1362 00:52:14,631 --> 00:52:17,467 someone who doesn't know         what her story is                1363 00:52:17,567 --> 00:52:19,002  or how to sell it yet.          1364 00:52:19,102 --> 00:52:23,707   - She had the opportunity to     make me feel a warm sensation  1365 00:52:23,807 --> 00:52:26,977  deep in a place                  like the rest of the girls did, 1366 00:52:27,077 --> 00:52:28,378  but she didn't.                 1367 00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:30,747 She took the time                 to read her competitors         1368 00:52:30,847 --> 00:52:32,382   that have already gone home.   1369 00:52:32,482 --> 00:52:35,819  - It just wasn't as charming as  Plane Jane actually really is.  1370 00:52:35,919 --> 00:52:38,155 - She comes from a place          of kind of hiding out.          1371 00:52:38,255 --> 00:52:41,258    She came out of the closet       very late for her.            1372 00:52:41,358 --> 00:52:44,728  And, you know, I think            she's used to sort of hiding.  1373 00:52:44,828 --> 00:52:47,097 So I think we got                 a bit of that.                  1374 00:52:47,197 --> 00:52:49,132 But at this point                   in the competition,           1375 00:52:49,232 --> 00:52:50,700    you have to be vulnerable.    1376 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,771   - Now, this book cover is not   what I'm used to seeing of her. 1377 00:52:54,871 --> 00:52:56,106   - The pose was very "Cosmo."   1378 00:52:56,206 --> 00:52:57,707   It was very Scavullo,             that pose.                    1379 00:52:57,807 --> 00:53:00,544    But the hair was too small    to balance out the outfit        1380 00:53:00,644 --> 00:53:01,978  that she wore.                  1381 00:53:02,078 --> 00:53:04,514 I was surprised, because            she understands proportion    1382 00:53:04,614 --> 00:53:07,117    better than almost anybody      in this competition.           1383 00:53:07,217 --> 00:53:08,919   - All right.                    [claps hands] Silence.          1384 00:53:09,019 --> 00:53:10,954  I've made my decision.          1385 00:53:11,054 --> 00:53:12,355
