00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:12,966
have set our hearts
and pussies on fire.
172
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:16,002
And tonight, we're going
to make one queen's
173
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:18,638
dream come true
when she's crowned
174
00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:21,775
America's Next Drag Superstar.
175
00:07:21,875 --> 00:07:24,344
But the race ain't
over yet, baby.
176
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:28,314
We are gathered here tonight
to watch our top three queens
177
00:07:28,415 --> 00:07:30,550
spread their charisma,
uniqueness, nerve,
178
00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:33,286
and talent one more time.
179
00:07:33,386 --> 00:07:37,190
Now, to help me make
my final decision,
180
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:40,527
please give a big "Drag Race"
welcome to Michelle Visage,
181
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:43,096
Carson Kressley,
and Jamal Sims.
182
00:07:44,597 --> 00:07:45,699
- Mwah.
- Hello.
183
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:47,100
Hi, baby.
184
00:07:48,935 --> 00:07:50,270
For the grand finale,
185
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:54,240
we challenged each of our top
three queens to collaborate
186
00:07:54,341 --> 00:07:57,644
with composer Leland
to create and sing
187
00:07:57,744 --> 00:07:59,946
their own personal anthem.
188
00:08:00,046 --> 00:08:02,849
And tonight,
they're ready to entertain us
189
00:08:02,949 --> 00:08:04,350
like only they can.
190
00:08:04,451 --> 00:08:08,021
In the end, I'll choose the top
two queens of the season,
191
00:08:08,121 --> 00:08:11,157
and they'll face off in
a final Lip Sync for The Crown,
192
00:08:11,257 --> 00:08:15,462
plus a grand prize of $200,000.
193
00:08:17,864 --> 00:08:19,966
Racers, start your engines,
194
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:23,036
and may the best
drag queen win!
195
00:08:23,136 --> 00:08:24,237
♪ Do you not see I'm fish ♪
196
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:25,839
♪ Do you not see these heels ♪
197
00:08:25,939 --> 00:08:27,807
♪ Do you not see this crown,
do you not see I'm fish ♪
198
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:32,879
Welcome back to the grand
finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
199
00:08:32,979 --> 00:08:35,648
Our first finalist
is a little bit country
200
00:08:35,749 --> 00:08:37,650
and a whole lot of stupid.
201
00:08:39,152 --> 00:08:41,421
It's Darlene Mitchell.
202
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:47,394
I'm Darlene Mitchell,
and I am the country cunty
203
00:08:47,494 --> 00:08:49,162
camp queen of season 18.
204
00:08:49,262 --> 00:08:50,497
She's corny!
205
00:08:50,597 --> 00:08:53,333
My journey has been
a wild one.
206
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:57,937
Highs, lows, up, down,
all around, tears, laughs.
207
00:08:58,038 --> 00:08:59,673
We have done it all.
208
00:08:59,773 --> 00:09:01,975
Being a bedroom queen,
I had a little bit of trouble
209
00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:03,677
being confident in my voice.
210
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:05,345
Yeah, we got to get you
back in the bars.
211
00:09:05,445 --> 00:09:07,180
I didn't realize
how much I missed
212
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,915
and needed the queer joy
213
00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:10,750
that all of these girls
have given me.
214
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:13,553
It took a while for me
to give myself permission
215
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:15,555
that I deserve my dream too.
216
00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:17,791
It's so fun to watch
someone who's having fun.
217
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,460
They really like me.
218
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,295
A lot of my looks
lean into the fun.
219
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:23,963
That's the whole point
of drag.
220
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:25,265
Moo, bitch.
221
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:26,933
I have a flavor that's
a little bit different
222
00:09:27,033 --> 00:09:28,068
than the rest of the girls.
223
00:09:28,168 --> 00:09:29,669
- I dislike those shoes.
- Oh!
224
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:32,439
But it doesn't hinder me
from being who I am
225
00:09:32,539 --> 00:09:33,673
in any way.
226
00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:35,575
If anything, it makes me
want to go harder.
227
00:09:35,675 --> 00:09:37,977
Why you mad?
228
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:41,815
Banana!
229
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:44,884
I was starting to catch on
that Ru was liking my flavor.
230
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:46,586
You're so stupid.
231
00:09:46,686 --> 00:09:48,955
I'm like, you have what
it takes to place in the top.
232
00:09:49,055 --> 00:09:50,590
Now you gotta start winning.
233
00:09:50,690 --> 00:09:51,825
Condragulations.
234
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:53,326
Condragulations,
235
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:55,662
you're the winner
of this week's challenge.
236
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:57,664
I have made it
to the end
237
00:09:57,764 --> 00:09:59,766
without ever having
to lip sync.
238
00:09:59,866 --> 00:10:03,069
My time in this competition
has really changed my life.
239
00:10:03,169 --> 00:10:05,772
We see you get it
and live in your skin,
240
00:10:05,872 --> 00:10:08,975
and it is what this life
is all about.
241
00:10:09,075 --> 00:10:12,846
I have wanted this
since I first started drag,
242
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:15,448
and I'm going for it
full throttle.
243
00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:16,683
The time has come.
244
00:10:16,783 --> 00:10:18,284
The engines are revving.
245
00:10:18,385 --> 00:10:21,221
I am doing anything
necessary to make sure
246
00:10:21,321 --> 00:10:25,625
that I am standing there
with that crown on my head.
247
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:28,528

her original song,
248
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:31,631

Yes, queen.
296
00:12:18,138 --> 00:12:20,206
Yes, Darlene!
297
00:12:25,311 --> 00:12:27,647
My gosh.
298
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:32,152
Darlene, that was so dumb.
299
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:35,722
Now fill her up
and check the oil.
300
00:12:37,524 --> 00:12:40,160
OK, it's time for
the judges' critiques.
301
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:44,064
Darlene, I loved
that performance.
302
00:12:44,164 --> 00:12:46,866
First of all, I love that
you did this kind of
303
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:50,136
rainbow choir robe
and then the reveal
304
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:53,139
to my favorite thing, gauntlets.
305
00:12:53,239 --> 00:12:54,708
You had them on.
306
00:12:54,808 --> 00:12:56,576
You know, it's been so much fun,
this whole competition,
307
00:12:56,676 --> 00:12:58,511
to be able to watch you
come into your own.
308
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:00,513
You really, in the beginning,
309
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,916
were kind of low key
and struggling.
310
00:13:03,016 --> 00:13:04,384
And then I think
something clicked
311
00:13:04,484 --> 00:13:06,519
and you just realized
who you were.
312
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:08,488
That's why that shirt
that you're wearing right now
313
00:13:08,588 --> 00:13:10,423
is so very important.
314
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:12,025
And I think
the most important thing
315
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:13,727
I'd like to thank you for
316
00:13:13,827 --> 00:13:16,329
is not wearing
those shoes tonight.
317
00:13:18,231 --> 00:13:19,799
Save a horse,
ride a drag queen.
318
00:13:19,899 --> 00:13:21,634
That was fantastic.
- Yay.
319
00:13:21,735 --> 00:13:23,570
Putting the hoe
back in hoedown.
320
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:25,372
I loved every second of it.
321
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:28,975
And I have this same t-shirt,
but I'm really resonating
322
00:13:29,075 --> 00:13:31,778
with this one right now
because I love you as well.
323
00:13:31,878 --> 00:13:32,912
Great job.
324
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:34,080
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Lovely.
325
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:36,282
Darlene Flow Mitchell.
326
00:13:37,584 --> 00:13:39,219
I love you so much.
327
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,054
I mean, you weren't
just cooking with gas.
328
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,589
You had a little bit
of electric up in there.
329
00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:44,157
You were a hybrid tonight.
330
00:13:44,257 --> 00:13:47,660
You killed it, and I could
not take my eyes off you.
331
00:13:47,761 --> 00:13:48,795
Congratulations.
332
00:13:48,895 --> 00:13:50,397
So proud of you tonight.
333
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:52,198
Aww.
334
00:13:52,298 --> 00:13:54,234
OK, listen, I'm afraid
to ask this question,
335
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:57,270
but where did you get
your sense of style?
336
00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:59,673
Just lucky, I guess.
337
00:13:59,773 --> 00:14:02,642
Some chose books,
I chose looks.
338
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:06,613
Now, as the judges said,
339
00:14:06,713 --> 00:14:08,982
you were the dark horse
of this season.
340
00:14:09,082 --> 00:14:13,153
When did you realize you could
win this whole competition?
341
00:14:13,253 --> 00:14:17,590
When I took the roast relying
on nothing but my stupid--
342
00:14:17,691 --> 00:14:18,892
Uh-huh.
343
00:14:18,992 --> 00:14:20,860
That, like, really kind of,
like, let me know, like,
344
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,697
oh, I'm winning
this whole thing.
345
00:14:23,797 --> 00:14:25,999
Like--
346
00:14:26,099 --> 00:14:27,500
It was--that was it.
347
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,502
Now, before you were
Darlene Mitchell,
348
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:33,673
you were Trash The Drag Queen.
349
00:14:33,773 --> 00:14:36,309
So I have to ask, Darlene,
350
00:14:36,409 --> 00:14:39,713
what would you say
to 24-year-old Trash?
351
00:14:42,415 --> 00:14:44,384
Oh, no!
352
00:14:44,484 --> 00:14:45,719
Work, bitch.
353
00:14:45,819 --> 00:14:47,754
Girl, you have work
in the morning.
354
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:49,823
You need to--
355
00:14:49,923 --> 00:14:53,093
you need to get to bed--
and blend, bitch.
356
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:59,165
And now, what would you say
to five-year-old Blake?
357
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:03,303
I would say that there's
358
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:05,872
absolutely nothing
wrong with you
359
00:15:05,972 --> 00:15:08,441
and that there will come
a day when you might not
360
00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:11,811
think that you will see
another one.
361
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,514
But I'm standing here today
362
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:16,416
to tell you that
you find your light.
363
00:15:16,516 --> 00:15:19,719
You find your purpose.
You find a smoking hot fiancé.
364
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:28,428
And when it comes
to your family,
365
00:15:28,528 --> 00:15:30,130
you will be
delightfully surprised
366
00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:35,201
at how hearts and minds
can change.
367
00:15:35,301 --> 00:15:37,904
And I love you.
368
00:15:38,004 --> 00:15:41,374
What a precious,
precious baby.
369
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:42,909
Now, who's here
supporting you tonight?
370
00:15:43,009 --> 00:15:45,245
I have my beautiful
fiancé, Brandon,
371
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:46,546
and my dear friend, Molly.
372
00:15:46,646 --> 00:15:47,681
Hi, y'all.
373
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:48,982
- Hi.
- Hi.
374
00:15:49,082 --> 00:15:52,318
Now, Brandon is your
creative collaborator.
375
00:15:52,419 --> 00:15:54,788
What's it like seeing her
up on this stage, Brandon?
376
00:15:54,888 --> 00:15:56,589
Surreal.
377
00:15:56,690 --> 00:15:57,991
I'm so proud.
378
00:15:58,091 --> 00:16:01,127
We've been working together
for, like, almost 10 years,
379
00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:02,996
and we've been dating
for almost 10 years.
380
00:16:03,096 --> 00:16:06,766
And to see him here at
the finale, I can't believe it.
381
00:16:06,866 --> 00:16:11,337
I'm so proud of you,
and I'm rooting for you.
382
00:16:11,438 --> 00:16:13,606
Very sweet, very kind.
383
00:16:13,707 --> 00:16:15,341
Your friend Molly is here also.
384
00:16:15,442 --> 00:16:17,977
Molly, you've been on team
Soldiers for Darlene
385
00:16:18,078 --> 00:16:19,479
for a long time, haven't you?
386
00:16:19,579 --> 00:16:21,881
- A long time.
- What is your role?
387
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:24,384
It was mostly
passenger princess.
388
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:27,654
You mean Uber driver?
389
00:16:27,754 --> 00:16:28,922
Sort of.
390
00:16:29,022 --> 00:16:30,490
Lots of singalongs
in the car on the way
391
00:16:30,590 --> 00:16:32,792
to the show in full face.
- Uh-huh.
392
00:16:32,892 --> 00:16:34,828
Lots of weeknight shows
393
00:16:34,928 --> 00:16:37,364
with varying degrees
of crowd attendance.
394
00:16:38,965 --> 00:16:40,533
Well, that's going
to change now.
395
00:16:40,633 --> 00:16:42,335
Yes, definitely.
396
00:16:42,435 --> 00:16:44,070
Now, Darlene,
what would it mean to you
397
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:46,773
to become
America's Next Drag Superstar?
398
00:16:46,873 --> 00:16:49,009
It would mean that
399
00:16:49,109 --> 00:16:52,379
every success and struggle
400
00:16:52,479 --> 00:16:55,315
and tacky outfit
along this journey--
401
00:16:56,783 --> 00:16:58,551
Had a purpose
402
00:16:58,652 --> 00:17:01,021
and that the voice
inside me that
403
00:17:01,121 --> 00:17:04,657
was telling me to never give up
on this dream was right.
404
00:17:04,758 --> 00:17:06,960
It would also mean that
y'all are about to see
405
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:09,195
a lot more mall drag
in the streets.
406
00:17:11,264 --> 00:17:13,033
All right.
407
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:15,935
Ladies and gentlemen,
Darlene Mitchell.
408
00:17:21,074 --> 00:17:22,709
If you're team
Darlene Mitchell,
409
00:17:22,809 --> 00:17:25,912

♪ Work, work, work,
work, work, work ♪
411
00:17:28,581 --> 00:17:30,183
Welcome back
to the grand finale
412
00:17:30,283 --> 00:17:31,785
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
413
00:17:31,885 --> 00:17:35,055
Up next, she came here
a chorus girl,
414
00:17:35,155 --> 00:17:37,424
but she's leaving a star.
415
00:17:37,524 --> 00:17:38,925
It's Myki Meeks.
416
00:17:42,962 --> 00:17:46,766
I am Myki Meeks, and
I'm known as the drag ingenue.
417
00:17:46,866 --> 00:17:49,536
But lately I've been feeling
more like the leading lady.
418
00:17:51,271 --> 00:17:55,108
This roller coaster was
the best ride of my life.
419
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:56,276
She means it.
420
00:17:56,376 --> 00:17:59,746
Do not miss out
on the opportunity!
421
00:17:59,846 --> 00:18:02,048
From Drew Barrymore
to Lollipop.
422
00:18:02,148 --> 00:18:03,783
In Spanish, no.
423
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:06,052
To a Karen gone wild--
424
00:18:06,152 --> 00:18:07,287
Somebody help me!
425
00:18:07,387 --> 00:18:09,322
It has been
an incredible journey.
426
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:11,057
You walked down,
and I wrote star.
427
00:18:11,157 --> 00:18:12,692
You've got just a sparkle.
428
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:14,661
We just want to watch you
and see what you do.
429
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:16,396
♪ Away ♪
430
00:18:16,496 --> 00:18:19,666
Awoo!
431
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:21,935
My highest point
was the Rusical.
432
00:18:22,035 --> 00:18:24,738
I found an art form of mine
that I put to the side
433
00:18:24,838 --> 00:18:26,606
because I thought
I wasn't good enough for it.
434
00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:29,909
Tonight was so incredible
for you.
435
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:32,812
My lowest point was
that damn Rate-A-Queen.
436
00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:34,914
Fifth position,
Miss Myki Meeks.
437
00:18:35,015 --> 00:18:35,915
Damn.
438
00:18:36,016 --> 00:18:37,650
These girls really tried it.
439
00:18:37,751 --> 00:18:39,886
They voted me to be
in the bottom,
440
00:18:39,986 --> 00:18:41,588
but the Meeks lives on.
441
00:18:41,688 --> 00:18:44,257
I wore that shirt that said
revenge, and baby, I got it.
442
00:18:44,357 --> 00:18:45,859
Who do you think
you're talking to?
443
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:48,428
I'm Myki motherfucking Meeks.
444
00:18:48,528 --> 00:18:49,796
both: Hi.
445
00:18:49,896 --> 00:18:52,065
I'm sitting pretty
with four wins.
446
00:18:52,165 --> 00:18:53,500
And not just four wins.
447
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,237
I won the last three
challenges in a row.
448
00:18:57,337 --> 00:18:59,205
Condragulations.
Condragulations.
449
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:00,807
Condragulations,
you are the winner
450
00:19:00,907 --> 00:19:03,209
of this week's challenge.
451
00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:06,413
I want to win this so bad,
452
00:19:06,513 --> 00:19:07,947
not just for me,
453
00:19:08,048 --> 00:19:09,682
but for the people
who raised me,
454
00:19:09,783 --> 00:19:11,584
for the community
that made me.
455
00:19:11,685 --> 00:19:14,187

Oh.
489
00:21:12,972 --> 00:21:14,407
Now it's time for
the judges' critiques.
490
00:21:14,507 --> 00:21:15,875
First up, Michelle Visage.
491
00:21:15,975 --> 00:21:18,144
Daughter, you look like
a Visage tonight,
492
00:21:18,244 --> 00:21:20,547
and I am very proud of that.
493
00:21:20,647 --> 00:21:21,848
You know what, Myki?
494
00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:24,184
You've been strong through
this whole competition,
495
00:21:24,284 --> 00:21:27,554
but I think what you did
tonight was really smart
496
00:21:27,654 --> 00:21:30,623
because your song was
called "Versatile"?
497
00:21:30,724 --> 00:21:32,592
- Correct.
- I'm versatile too.
498
00:21:32,692 --> 00:21:33,593
I've heard that about you.
499
00:21:35,095 --> 00:21:38,365
Here you are at the end
and you are branding.
500
00:21:38,465 --> 00:21:42,435
You are letting people know
what you are able to do.
501
00:21:42,535 --> 00:21:44,671
You sang it. You danced it.
You showed it.
502
00:21:44,771 --> 00:21:47,974
I thought it was fantastic.
503
00:21:48,074 --> 00:21:50,510
Thank you.
Thank you, Michelle.
504
00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:52,612
Wow, you are what they call
a triple threat.
505
00:21:52,712 --> 00:21:56,082
You can sing, you can dance,
and you can serve gorgeous face.
506
00:21:56,182 --> 00:21:57,650
- Oh!
- I mean, you look stunning.
507
00:21:57,751 --> 00:22:00,987
From the moment you started,
it was a smash performance.
508
00:22:01,087 --> 00:22:04,524
You are versed, but you're
actually a top performer
509
00:22:04,624 --> 00:22:07,827
because that was amazing.
- Hey.
510
00:22:07,927 --> 00:22:09,529
Thank you, Carson.
511
00:22:09,629 --> 00:22:12,432
Myki, that was
a hard performance to do,
512
00:22:12,532 --> 00:22:14,834
and you did it perfectly.
513
00:22:14,934 --> 00:22:17,037
It was well executed,
514
00:22:17,137 --> 00:22:19,506
and you could see your heart
on the stage.
515
00:22:19,606 --> 00:22:21,374
Like, you left it on the floor.
516
00:22:21,474 --> 00:22:22,909
Great job tonight.
517
00:22:23,009 --> 00:22:26,579
Oh, thank you so much.
Thank you.
518
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,015
What did you learn about
yourself on "Drag Race?"
519
00:22:29,115 --> 00:22:31,851
You know, coming in,
I would get
520
00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:33,920
a lot of positive affirmation
from others
521
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:37,057
and I would hear it,
but I didn't always feel it.
522
00:22:37,157 --> 00:22:41,961
Well, being here, I learned
how to channel that energy
523
00:22:42,062 --> 00:22:44,130
and what other people
see in me.
524
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:47,000
And now I'm standing here
with that power.
525
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:48,768
I came in as an ingenue,
526
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:50,770
but now I'm leaving
a leading lady.
527
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:52,972
Yes!
528
00:22:55,308 --> 00:22:56,443
All right, leading lady.
529
00:22:56,543 --> 00:22:58,945
If you could turn back time,
what message
530
00:22:59,045 --> 00:23:02,549
would you give to little
five-year-old Michael?
531
00:23:04,551 --> 00:23:06,886
Ru, that's from
my college graduation.
532
00:23:09,222 --> 00:23:12,258
I would say, little Michael,
533
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,028
you're about
to experience a life
534
00:23:15,128 --> 00:23:18,231
full of love and laughter
535
00:23:18,331 --> 00:23:21,334
with the best friends
in the world
536
00:23:21,434 --> 00:23:26,072
and two parents who support you
for who you are.
537
00:23:26,172 --> 00:23:29,175
And you may be teased
for that same reason,
538
00:23:29,275 --> 00:23:32,912
but just know that they are
pointing out your superpower.
539
00:23:33,012 --> 00:23:35,315
You were born to stand out.
540
00:23:35,415 --> 00:23:36,916
So go for it.
541
00:23:37,017 --> 00:23:40,420
And every time you wrap yourself
in a blanket skirt
542
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,656
like it's the only gown,
543
00:23:43,757 --> 00:23:46,660
you're preparing yourself
for greatness.
544
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,029
And stick with the name Myki.
545
00:23:49,129 --> 00:23:50,964
I love it.
I love it.
546
00:23:52,999 --> 00:23:54,234
It's funny.
547
00:23:54,334 --> 00:23:56,002
You look exactly the same.
548
00:23:56,102 --> 00:23:57,604
- I know.
- You look exactly the same.
549
00:23:57,704 --> 00:24:00,140
And I'm looking what appears to
be your father and your mother.
550
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,241
Correct.
551
00:24:01,341 --> 00:24:02,342
You look exactly like
the both of them.
552
00:24:02,442 --> 00:24:03,777
I know. I know.
553
00:24:03,877 --> 00:24:05,679
It looks like dad, Bernie,
is wearing one of my jackets.
554
00:24:05,779 --> 00:24:07,447
- Yes, yes.
- Gorgeous.
555
00:24:07,547 --> 00:24:08,982
Faye, did you
dress him tonight?
556
00:24:09,082 --> 00:24:10,450
- I did.
- You did?
557
00:24:10,550 --> 00:24:11,785
I bought the clothes.
558
00:24:11,885 --> 00:24:13,153
She dressed me.
- He bought it.
559
00:24:13,253 --> 00:24:14,454
Oh--
560
00:24:14,554 --> 00:24:17,824
So now where does Myki
get her stage presence?
561
00:24:17,924 --> 00:24:18,892
Which one of you?
562
00:24:18,992 --> 00:24:19,893
Mom?
563
00:24:19,993 --> 00:24:23,697
Well, I was a dancer.
564
00:24:23,797 --> 00:24:25,231
You were a showgirl?
565
00:24:25,332 --> 00:24:26,833
I was a little bit
a showgirl.
566
00:24:26,933 --> 00:24:28,034
Yes, yes, yes.
567
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:29,903
But no, he was born that way.
568
00:24:30,003 --> 00:24:31,438
- Yeah.
- He had the passion
569
00:24:31,538 --> 00:24:34,174
to be a performer
when he was a youngster.
570
00:24:34,274 --> 00:24:35,809
- Really?
- Always entertaining.
571
00:24:35,909 --> 00:24:36,943
When Regis Philbin
had his show,
572
00:24:37,043 --> 00:24:38,211
"Who Wants To Be
A Millionaire."
573
00:24:38,311 --> 00:24:39,512
Yeah?
574
00:24:39,612 --> 00:24:41,414
He would do the imitation
to anybody who walked by.
575
00:24:43,516 --> 00:24:45,485
Well, Faye and Bernie,
you done good.
576
00:24:45,585 --> 00:24:46,753
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
577
00:24:46,853 --> 00:24:48,021
- You done good.
- We think so.
578
00:24:48,121 --> 00:24:49,356
- Thank you.
- Now, Myki,
579
00:24:49,456 --> 00:24:51,191
is there anything you'd like
to say to your parents?
580
00:24:51,291 --> 00:24:53,259
Oh, man, this is crazy.
581
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:54,928
Tell me about it.
582
00:24:55,028 --> 00:24:57,330
- I love you both so much.
- We love you too, honey.
583
00:24:57,430 --> 00:25:01,601
Thank you for always
supporting me in my dreams.
584
00:25:01,701 --> 00:25:04,938
And I couldn't be
standing here today
585
00:25:05,038 --> 00:25:07,374
without what you've given me,
586
00:25:07,474 --> 00:25:09,709
and I hope to be
making you so proud.
587
00:25:09,809 --> 00:25:11,378
So proud.
Always so proud.
588
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,981
Myki, what would it
mean to you to become
589
00:25:15,081 --> 00:25:17,250
America's Next Drag Superstar?
590
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:20,086
You know, Ru,
I'm a big believer in
591
00:25:20,186 --> 00:25:22,522
"everything happens
for a reason."
592
00:25:22,622 --> 00:25:27,193
And in my life and career,
I have faced a lot of rejection,
593
00:25:27,293 --> 00:25:30,330
but I never lived by the nos
594
00:25:30,430 --> 00:25:32,499
because I knew it was leading
to my ultimate yes.
595
00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:34,534
And that's what this
moment is right here.
596
00:25:34,634 --> 00:25:36,136
You've said it yourself.
597
00:25:36,236 --> 00:25:40,173
You can look at the darkness,
but don't stare.
598
00:25:40,273 --> 00:25:43,810
So with this title,
I'm stepping into my light,
599
00:25:43,910 --> 00:25:46,713
and I hope to inspire others
to do the same.
600
00:25:48,248 --> 00:25:49,582
I love it.
601
00:25:49,682 --> 00:25:53,086
Well, she worked her
fanny off this season.
602
00:25:53,186 --> 00:25:55,021
Give it up for Myki Meeks.
603

604
00:25:59,926 --> 00:26:01,961

605
00:26:02,062 --> 00:26:06,499

607
00:26:08,134 --> 00:26:10,036
♪ I wanna see you ♪
608
00:26:10,136 --> 00:26:13,540
This is the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
609
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,011
This next queen has turned
the art of drag into a science.
610
00:26:18,111 --> 00:26:19,679
It's Nini Coco.
611
00:26:24,584 --> 00:26:25,752
I'm Nini Coco.
612
00:26:25,852 --> 00:26:28,021
I am the high energy,
high fashion diva
613
00:26:28,121 --> 00:26:29,456
from Denver, Colorado.
614
00:26:31,524 --> 00:26:34,427
My journey started off
very hot with a win.
615
00:26:34,527 --> 00:26:36,429
I would wear this
outfit outside.
616
00:26:36,529 --> 00:26:37,564
I love it.
617
00:26:37,664 --> 00:26:38,865
And it was not long before
618
00:26:38,965 --> 00:26:40,934
the reality of
the competition hit me.
619
00:26:43,169 --> 00:26:45,872
I feel like I was overthinking
what I had to do.
620
00:26:45,972 --> 00:26:47,173
Wait, I'll go with two.
621
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,875
There have been
a couple hiccups.
622
00:26:48,975 --> 00:26:50,043
Mr. Paul!
623
00:26:50,143 --> 00:26:52,645
It's not a family
resemblance to me.
624
00:26:52,746 --> 00:26:54,447
But at the end of the day,
I have pushed through
625
00:26:54,547 --> 00:26:58,151
and given my all
every step of the way.
626
00:26:58,251 --> 00:26:59,419
- Hey!
- Hey!
627
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:01,121
There are so many
moments of joy
628
00:27:01,221 --> 00:27:02,555
sprinkled throughout
this experience.
629
00:27:02,655 --> 00:27:04,958
Let's breed, baby.
630
00:27:05,058 --> 00:27:06,760
I've proven that I am funny.
631
00:27:06,860 --> 00:27:07,761
Oh!
632
00:27:07,861 --> 00:27:09,429
I'm a talented designer.
633
00:27:09,529 --> 00:27:11,931
She created a wow effect.
634
00:27:12,032 --> 00:27:13,900
From making most
of my runway looks
635
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,302
to fighting to the end
of this competition
636
00:27:16,403 --> 00:27:19,005
through lip sync after
lip sync after lip sync.
637
00:27:20,874 --> 00:27:22,242
I feel like I got off
to a rough start
638
00:27:22,342 --> 00:27:23,576
with some of the queens.
639
00:27:23,676 --> 00:27:24,611
- Has a gun.
- Nini's got the gun.
640
00:27:24,711 --> 00:27:26,212
- Nini has a gun.
- Nini has a gun.
641
00:27:26,312 --> 00:27:27,814
But by the end
of the competition,
642
00:27:27,914 --> 00:27:30,250
I found a way
to communicate better.
643
00:27:30,350 --> 00:27:32,952
I want to connect with y'all,
and I, like,
644
00:27:33,053 --> 00:27:34,821
struggle to do that in moments.
645
00:27:34,921 --> 00:27:37,991
This experience taught me
that the art of drag
646
00:27:38,091 --> 00:27:41,494
is an amazing way
to express emotion,
647
00:27:41,594 --> 00:27:43,630
but you have to understand
648
00:27:43,730 --> 00:27:45,765
the core humanity
within all of it,
649
00:27:45,865 --> 00:27:48,301
and that is the most
important thing.
650
00:27:50,036 --> 00:27:52,305
I walked into this competition
as a mechanical engineer,
651
00:27:52,405 --> 00:27:54,974
and I am leaving
a drag superstar.
652
00:27:55,075 --> 00:27:56,676
I'm so ready for this
final performance.
653
00:27:56,776 --> 00:27:58,144
I have one last thing
to prove,
654
00:27:58,244 --> 00:28:01,147
and it's that
I deserve this crown.
655
00:28:01,247 --> 00:28:02,482
Bitch, get ready.
656
00:28:04,517 --> 00:28:07,153
And now performing
"Stitimulate,"
657
00:28:07,253 --> 00:28:10,457
it's the electrifying

Wow.
I want to work in your office.
692

You're welcome to anytime.
693

Let's hear from the judges.
694
00:30:09,142 --> 00:30:10,910
Come on, cold-hearted snake.
695
00:30:11,010 --> 00:30:15,048
That was so amazing, so tight.
696
00:30:15,148 --> 00:30:17,417
And you had to be with
that type of choreography.
697
00:30:17,517 --> 00:30:21,221
This is what it looks like when
you keep your eye on the prize.
698
00:30:21,321 --> 00:30:23,656
It's been so fun,
and you've been amazing.
699
00:30:23,757 --> 00:30:25,058
Thank you, Michelle.
700
00:30:26,893 --> 00:30:29,796
Oh, my gosh,
I'm cuckoo for Nini Coco.
701
00:30:29,896 --> 00:30:31,197
It was just so captivating.
702
00:30:31,297 --> 00:30:32,465
From the moment you started
703
00:30:32,565 --> 00:30:34,434
that really intense
choreography,
704
00:30:34,534 --> 00:30:36,436
we were all drawn in,
we were locked in.
705
00:30:36,536 --> 00:30:38,772
The audience was with you
the entire time.
706
00:30:38,872 --> 00:30:41,808
That was really phenomenal.
Congratulations.
707
00:30:41,908 --> 00:30:44,044
Thanks, Carson.
708
00:30:44,144 --> 00:30:47,247
Nini, you ate
that performance up.
709
00:30:47,347 --> 00:30:48,548
Yes.
710
00:30:48,648 --> 00:30:50,383
And I'm so proud of you
because that was not easy.
711
00:30:50,483 --> 00:30:52,886
From the reveal
to coming down off the table
712
00:30:52,986 --> 00:30:55,422
onto a chair in the heel
and then doing
713
00:30:55,522 --> 00:30:57,691
the fast performance
in the chair, that was crazy.
714
00:30:57,791 --> 00:31:01,628
So just all season long,
you really showed
715
00:31:01,728 --> 00:31:05,131
what it takes to be
a real entertainer.
716
00:31:05,231 --> 00:31:07,267
Beautiful job.
Beautiful job.
717
00:31:09,102 --> 00:31:11,971
Now, Nini, what did you
learn about yourself
718
00:31:12,072 --> 00:31:13,640
during your time at "Drag Race"?
719
00:31:13,740 --> 00:31:17,110
The moral of the story for me
was it's not that serious.
720
00:31:17,210 --> 00:31:18,978
And for so much of my life,
721
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:21,548
I've been afraid
of taking risks.
722
00:31:21,648 --> 00:31:23,883
And this competition
throws that out the window.
723
00:31:23,983 --> 00:31:26,820
So let it all go
and just have fun.
724
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,188
Yeah, yeah.
725
00:31:28,288 --> 00:31:30,423
How did you get along
with the other queens?
726
00:31:30,523 --> 00:31:31,725
Uh, queens, care to share?
727
00:31:34,294 --> 00:31:35,996
I feel like there was
a point at the beginning
728
00:31:36,096 --> 00:31:38,798
of the competition
where I was coming in
729
00:31:38,898 --> 00:31:40,300
a little bit hot
with some of the shade.
730
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,203
I learned a lot that
half of this competition
731
00:31:43,303 --> 00:31:45,138
is the challenges,
and the other half
732
00:31:45,238 --> 00:31:48,141
is the relationships that you
build with these other girls.
733
00:31:48,241 --> 00:31:51,144
And thankfully, throughout
all of that and letting go
734
00:31:51,244 --> 00:31:53,680
of some of that insecurity,
I feel like
735
00:31:53,780 --> 00:31:56,116
I'm able to find so many
friends in all of you.
736
00:31:56,216 --> 00:31:57,984
And thank y'all
for being patient with me
737
00:31:58,084 --> 00:32:00,487
as I learned how to communicate
738
00:32:00,587 --> 00:32:02,455
really what I meant
and what I was trying to say.
739
00:32:02,555 --> 00:32:03,590
- We love you!
- We love you!
740
00:32:03,690 --> 00:32:05,358
We love you!
741
00:32:05,458 --> 00:32:06,660
Love you girls.
742
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,330
Now, Nini Coco,
what words of wisdom
743
00:32:10,430 --> 00:32:14,567
do you have to share
with three-year-old Nico?
744
00:32:14,667 --> 00:32:17,037
- Oh, my God.
- Aww.
745
00:32:19,406 --> 00:32:21,074
Um...
746
00:32:21,174 --> 00:32:26,646
you are such
a happy little kid, and...
747
00:32:26,746 --> 00:32:29,416
I want you to hold on to that
for as long as you can.
748
00:32:30,717 --> 00:32:33,586
Because I think
when you realize that
749
00:32:33,687 --> 00:32:35,655
you're a little bit different
than everybody else,
750
00:32:35,755 --> 00:32:38,458
you're going to start
to feel scared of who you are
751
00:32:38,558 --> 00:32:40,660
and what people think about you
752
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,997
and get scared of this future
that you can't control.
753
00:32:44,097 --> 00:32:47,600
But I want you to know
and remember one thing,
754
00:32:47,701 --> 00:32:50,570
and that is...
755
00:32:50,670 --> 00:32:52,806
your queerness
is the greatest gift
756
00:32:52,906 --> 00:32:54,541
that this life has to give you.
757
00:32:54,641 --> 00:32:57,677
And I want you
758
00:32:57,777 --> 00:33:01,748
to go to more parties
and don't study so hard.
759
00:33:01,848 --> 00:33:04,317
Be faggy every single day.
760
00:33:05,618 --> 00:33:08,888
And I hope that
I made you proud
761
00:33:08,989 --> 00:33:11,291
because you make me so proud.
762
00:33:11,391 --> 00:33:12,992
Aw, lovely.
763
00:33:14,294 --> 00:33:16,396
Now, I see a beautiful woman
764
00:33:16,496 --> 00:33:18,932
and a gorgeous man
in the front row here.
765
00:33:19,032 --> 00:33:22,936
Yes, that is my mom, Kim,
and my boyfriend, AJ.
766
00:33:23,036 --> 00:33:25,872
Mom, are those
cheekbones natural?
767
00:33:25,972 --> 00:33:28,641
I'm afraid they are.
768
00:33:28,742 --> 00:33:32,178
They are gorgeous!
769
00:33:32,278 --> 00:33:35,081
Now, when you saw Nini Coco
in drag the first time,
770
00:33:35,181 --> 00:33:36,583
did you see yourself?
771
00:33:36,683 --> 00:33:37,584
Who did you see?
772
00:33:37,684 --> 00:33:40,120
- Oh, absolutely saw me.
- Uh-huh.
773
00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:42,589
The very first time,
774
00:33:42,689 --> 00:33:44,691
he was in a dark wig...
- Uh-huh.
775
00:33:44,791 --> 00:33:46,893
And he goes,
he looks just like you.
776
00:33:46,993 --> 00:33:49,195
It freaked me out.
So...
777
00:33:49,295 --> 00:33:52,966
Now, AJ, you are also
in the science world.
778
00:33:53,066 --> 00:33:54,734
How did two nerds
like you meet?
779
00:33:54,834 --> 00:33:56,136
Is there a--like a--
780
00:33:56,236 --> 00:33:58,538
is there a Grindr
or something for nerds?
781
00:33:58,638 --> 00:34:00,140
Is it called Nerdr?
782
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,609
- Yeah, Sciencrdr.
- Yeah.
783
00:34:02,709 --> 00:34:03,810
How did you guys meet?
784
00:34:03,910 --> 00:34:06,680
Yeah, we were in school
just going at it and--
785
00:34:06,780 --> 00:34:09,282
Oh, hey!
786
00:34:11,484 --> 00:34:13,987
How do two smart people
787
00:34:14,087 --> 00:34:16,623
make a relationship work
for so long?
788
00:34:16,723 --> 00:34:19,826
Honestly, he's--
he's the wings to my anchor.
789
00:34:19,926 --> 00:34:21,728
We just--
790
00:34:21,828 --> 00:34:23,496
We're paired really well.
791
00:34:23,596 --> 00:34:24,964
I love that.
792
00:34:25,065 --> 00:34:26,966
I love it.
Final question.
793
00:34:27,067 --> 00:34:30,236
Nini Coco,
why do you want to be
794
00:34:30,336 --> 00:34:33,473
America's Next Drag Superstar?
795
00:34:33,573 --> 00:34:37,610
I feel like drag
is my own liberation,
796
00:34:37,711 --> 00:34:40,113
and it is the thing that
makes me feel the most alive.
797
00:34:40,213 --> 00:34:42,248
And to be America's
Next Drag Superstar,
798
00:34:42,349 --> 00:34:45,552
I feel that calling
and that responsibility to
799
00:34:45,652 --> 00:34:49,622
progress all of us
towards a queer future
800
00:34:49,723 --> 00:34:51,992
that is better for everyone
because the life
801
00:34:52,092 --> 00:34:54,094
we're living today
feels kind of fucked.
802
00:34:54,194 --> 00:34:58,264
And if we can bring some more
joy and some more power
803
00:34:58,365 --> 00:35:02,369
to queerness and all of us
people who are struggling,
804
00:35:02,469 --> 00:35:04,270
that is the purpose
that drag gives me.
805
00:35:04,371 --> 00:35:06,005
And I want to share that
with the rest of the world.
806
00:35:06,106 --> 00:35:07,540
Lovely.
807
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,043
One more round of applause
for Nini Coco.

Welcome back
to the grand finale
813
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:28,028
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
814
00:35:28,128 --> 00:35:31,765
There's only one word
to describe Miley Cyrus--
815
00:35:31,865 --> 00:35:35,068
charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent.
816
00:35:36,970 --> 00:35:38,538
M is for music.
817
00:35:38,638 --> 00:35:42,075
Miley doesn't just make hits.
She creates bangers.
818
00:35:42,175 --> 00:35:44,110
The Grammy Award winning
singer songwriter
819
00:35:44,210 --> 00:35:45,345
can do it all.
820
00:35:45,445 --> 00:35:47,981
Country, rock, pop,
and hip-hop.
821
00:35:48,081 --> 00:35:50,116
Her unique voice
is always rich, raspy,
822
00:35:50,216 --> 00:35:51,818
and revolutionary.
823
00:35:51,918 --> 00:35:53,520
I is for iconic.
824
00:35:53,620 --> 00:35:55,388
Whether swinging
from a wrecking ball,
825
00:35:55,488 --> 00:35:57,657
dueting with her godmother
Dolly Parton,
826
00:35:57,757 --> 00:35:59,292
or storming the red carpet.
827
00:35:59,392 --> 00:36:03,296
From TV specials to the VMAs,
Miley is the moment.
828
00:36:03,396 --> 00:36:05,365
Miley commands
every stage she's on
829
00:36:05,465 --> 00:36:07,667
in every stage she's in.
830
00:36:07,767 --> 00:36:11,338
L is for the love Miley
showers upon our community.
831
00:36:11,438 --> 00:36:14,307
We will continue
to fight against judgment.
832
00:36:14,407 --> 00:36:16,843
By raising millions with
her Happy Hippie Foundation,
833
00:36:16,943 --> 00:36:19,412
an important branch of
the Miley Cyrus Foundation,
834
00:36:19,512 --> 00:36:21,114
she fights for
homeless queer youth.
835
00:36:21,214 --> 00:36:23,850
And by using her platform
to advocate for equality,
836
00:36:23,950 --> 00:36:26,786
Miley has already created
an impactful legacy
837
00:36:26,886 --> 00:36:30,590
and achieved LGBTQ+
icon status.
838
00:36:30,690 --> 00:36:32,525
E is for extraordinary.
839
00:36:32,625 --> 00:36:35,295
Miley was just 11 years old
when she secured the lead role
840
00:36:35,395 --> 00:36:37,263
of "Hannah Montana,"
a show that bridged
841
00:36:37,364 --> 00:36:39,966
her childhood with
rapid pop culture fame.
842
00:36:40,066 --> 00:36:43,103
Her ability to evolve, like
her talent, is extraordinary.
843
00:36:43,203 --> 00:36:45,472
She's an inspiration to us all
as she continues
844
00:36:45,572 --> 00:36:48,074
to grow as a person
and an artist.
845
00:36:48,174 --> 00:36:50,744
And Y is for the 20 years
Miley has spent
846
00:36:50,844 --> 00:36:54,581
rewriting the rules, reminding
us that reinvention is power,
847
00:36:54,681 --> 00:36:56,049
that the bravest thing
you can be
848
00:36:56,149 --> 00:36:58,218
is unapologetically yourself.
849
00:36:58,318 --> 00:37:01,054
And at 33,
she's just getting started.
850
00:37:01,154 --> 00:37:04,691
For her dazzling contributions
past, present, and future,
851
00:37:04,791 --> 00:37:07,293
tonight we celebrate
Miley Cyrus
852
00:37:07,394 --> 00:37:10,463

This makes the Grammy
look cheap.
867
00:37:56,976 --> 00:37:59,446
Miley, my darling, now,
868
00:37:59,546 --> 00:38:00,680
you've been working
in this business
869
00:38:00,780 --> 00:38:03,116
since you were a child.
870
00:38:03,216 --> 00:38:04,718
What keeps you going?
871
00:38:04,818 --> 00:38:06,119
Moments like this.
872
00:38:06,219 --> 00:38:11,358
To stand beside my idols
and icons like Mother Ru.
873
00:38:12,926 --> 00:38:14,060
And get my flowers.
874
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,261
Yes.
875
00:38:15,362 --> 00:38:17,597
But to also use my platform
876
00:38:17,697 --> 00:38:20,400
to serve this
incredible community.
877
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:22,435
I love that.
I love that.
878
00:38:22,535 --> 00:38:24,738
Now, I always wanted
to ask you,
879
00:38:24,838 --> 00:38:26,773
why do you love drag so much?
880
00:38:26,873 --> 00:38:28,074
Well, because
I'm a drag queen.
881
00:38:28,174 --> 00:38:29,609
Yeah, well, there you go.
882
00:38:29,709 --> 00:38:32,579
And I love the idea of
an alter ego giving us power.
883
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:35,115
And, you know, my persona
just performed in Paris
884
00:38:35,215 --> 00:38:36,383
with Beyoncé, so--
885
00:38:36,483 --> 00:38:38,118
- What?
- She's my shero.
886
00:38:38,218 --> 00:38:39,652
Oh, my gosh.
887
00:38:39,753 --> 00:38:41,454
Now, as a super fan,
888
00:38:41,554 --> 00:38:45,392
is there a "Drag Race" challenge
that you would absolutely kill?
889
00:38:45,492 --> 00:38:48,428
Snatch Game
as Hannah Montana.
890
00:38:48,528 --> 00:38:52,098
Yes!
891
00:38:52,198 --> 00:38:54,668
That's right.
892
00:38:56,736 --> 00:38:58,905
All right, Miley,
one last question.
893
00:38:59,005 --> 00:39:03,043
What would you say
to your four-year-old self?
894
00:39:05,945 --> 00:39:08,748
Life's a climb,
but the view is great,
895
00:39:08,848 --> 00:39:10,784
especially from Beverly Hills.
896
00:39:15,955 --> 00:39:18,358
Miley, we love you,
we thank you,
897
00:39:18,458 --> 00:39:20,927
and we will always
be there for you.
898
00:39:21,027 --> 00:39:23,096
Give it up for Miley Cyrus.
899
00:39:24,698 --> 00:39:26,199
♪ This is the beginning ♪
900
00:39:26,299 --> 00:39:28,868
♪ The beginning,
this is the beginning ♪
901
00:39:28,968 --> 00:39:31,571
Coming up, who do you
want to be crowned
902
00:39:31,671 --> 00:39:33,707
America's Next Drag Superstar?
903
00:39:33,807 --> 00:39:36,943
Are you team Darlene Mitchell,
904
00:39:37,043 --> 00:39:38,878
team Myki Meeks,
905
00:39:38,978 --> 00:39:40,847
or team Nini Coco?
906
00:39:40,947 --> 00:39:43,183
And next, Crystal Envy returns
907
00:39:43,283 --> 00:39:45,785
to award this season's
Miss Congeniality
908
00:39:47,153 --> 00:39:50,256
William Dorsey Swann,
a formerly enslaved Black man,
909
00:39:50,357 --> 00:39:53,426
was the first person to call
themselves the queen of drag.
910
00:39:53,526 --> 00:39:55,996
In the 1800s,
Swann threw secret balls
911
00:39:56,096 --> 00:39:57,430
in Washington, D.C.
912
00:39:57,530 --> 00:39:59,599
When the police raided
one of her parties,
913
00:39:59,699 --> 00:40:00,834
she didn't run.
914
00:40:00,934 --> 00:40:03,803
She resisted and became
the first American
915
00:40:03,903 --> 00:40:08,541
to take legal action
in defense of LGBTQ rights.
916
00:40:08,641 --> 00:40:11,411
A World War II veteran,
Jose Sarria,
917
00:40:11,511 --> 00:40:13,046
also known as Mama Jose
918
00:40:13,146 --> 00:40:15,448
and the Nightingale
of Montgomery Street,
919
00:40:15,548 --> 00:40:17,684
performed at the legendary
Black Cat Bar.
920
00:40:17,784 --> 00:40:20,153
During police raids,
she led the patrons
921
00:40:20,253 --> 00:40:23,690
in a rousing rendition
of "God Save Us Nelly Queens."
922
00:40:23,790 --> 00:40:28,661
In 1961, in full drag,
Jose ran for San Francisco
923
00:40:28,762 --> 00:40:31,531
Board of Supervisors,
becoming the first openly gay
924
00:40:31,631 --> 00:40:33,366
person to run
for public office
925
00:40:33,466 --> 00:40:36,836
in the United States
of America.
926
00:40:36,936 --> 00:40:40,573
In the 1960s,
Mother Flawless Sabrina
927
00:40:40,673 --> 00:40:44,110
organized hundreds of drag
pageants across the country
928
00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:46,312
in cities where
it was illegal for men
929
00:40:46,413 --> 00:40:47,947
to wear women's clothing.
930
00:40:48,048 --> 00:40:49,749
And when the police showed up,
931
00:40:49,849 --> 00:40:53,553
Flawless faced arrest so
her queens wouldn't have to.
932
00:40:53,653 --> 00:40:56,823
Jailed over 100 times,
she continued to be
933
00:40:56,923 --> 00:41:00,927
a fearless and outspoken
advocate into her late 70s,
934
00:41:01,027 --> 00:41:02,896
and her work is immortalized
935
00:41:02,996 --> 00:41:07,400
in the iconic documentary
"The Queen."
936
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:10,437
Attentions, dolls and divas,
cubs and chubs,
937
00:41:10,537 --> 00:41:13,640
twinks and twunks,
thems and femmes,
938
00:41:13,740 --> 00:41:16,276
now it's your turn
to keep the lights on.
939
00:41:16,376 --> 00:41:19,913
You can start by donating
to the ACLU Drag Defense Fund
940
00:41:20,013 --> 00:41:23,783
so future generations can share
their queer joy with the world.
941
00:41:23,883 --> 00:41:26,987
Bob, does that mean
we can stop pedaling?
942
00:41:27,087 --> 00:41:28,054
Nuh-uh.
943
00:41:28,154 --> 00:41:31,191
We gotta keep on keeping on.
944
00:41:31,291 --> 00:41:32,859
I'll drink to that.
945
00:41:34,494 --> 00:41:37,263
And now, please welcome
our reigning
946
00:41:37,364 --> 00:41:40,600

Good evening.
961
00:42:07,827 --> 00:42:09,863
You know, when it comes
to being congenial,
962
00:42:09,963 --> 00:42:13,099
I'm 100% that bitch.
963
00:42:15,268 --> 00:42:17,604
And tonight, I am so excited
to announce that
964
00:42:17,704 --> 00:42:20,540
the winner of season 18's
Miss Congeniality
965
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,443
will receive $10,000
966
00:42:23,543 --> 00:42:25,679
presented by
the new and improved
967
00:42:25,779 --> 00:42:27,213
Native Deodorant.
968
00:42:30,317 --> 00:42:33,420
The queens have voted,
and the winner is...
969
00:42:36,022 --> 00:42:38,124
Jane Don't.
970
00:42:41,227 --> 00:42:42,562
I'm gagging.
971
00:42:42,662 --> 00:42:45,031
I'm gagging.
972
00:42:45,131 --> 00:42:47,233
How did that happen?
973
00:42:47,333 --> 00:42:48,368
Thank you.
974
00:42:48,468 --> 00:42:51,271
Oh, my God.
975
00:42:51,371 --> 00:42:54,274
Condragulations, Jane Don't.
What do you have to say?
976
00:42:54,374 --> 00:42:56,576
Well, congeniality
is not something
977
00:42:56,676 --> 00:42:59,679
the women in my family
generally aspire to,
978
00:42:59,779 --> 00:43:01,881
but one of the best,
like, gifts
979
00:43:01,981 --> 00:43:03,550
that this whole experience
has given me
980
00:43:03,650 --> 00:43:05,552
is my relationships
with these girls.
981
00:43:05,652 --> 00:43:07,754
You are the best prize
that I think any of us get.
982
00:43:07,854 --> 00:43:09,856
So thank you so much.
I love you, I love you.
983
00:43:09,956 --> 00:43:11,291
I love you, thank you!
984
00:43:13,693 --> 00:43:15,628
But hold up, hold up.
985
00:43:15,729 --> 00:43:17,063
Do you smell that?
986
00:43:17,163 --> 00:43:21,067
Ooh, it's the sweet
smell of success.
987
00:43:21,167 --> 00:43:23,203
Because Native Deodorant
would also like
988
00:43:23,303 --> 00:43:24,871
to offer all the other queens
989
00:43:24,971 --> 00:43:28,641
$2,000 each
for a fabulous season.
990
00:43:29,843 --> 00:43:32,512
I'll take it.
We can take it.
991
00:43:32,612 --> 00:43:34,214
Condragulations, queens.
992
00:43:34,314 --> 00:43:36,016

Welcome back to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
999
00:43:53,333 --> 00:43:55,435
Now, I have some exciting news.
1000
00:43:55,535 --> 00:43:58,104
For the first time in
"Drag Race" herstory,
1001
00:43:58,204 --> 00:44:00,473
this season's winner
will snatch up
1002
00:44:00,573 --> 00:44:02,942
an official makeup
collaboration
1003
00:44:03,043 --> 00:44:05,045
with Anastasia Beverly Hills.
1004
00:44:05,145 --> 00:44:07,747
Earlier this week,
our top three queens
1005
00:44:07,847 --> 00:44:10,517
met with ABH president Norvina.
1006
00:44:10,617 --> 00:44:12,318
Take a look.
1007
00:44:16,322 --> 00:44:18,058
Studio Anastasia
Beverly Hills.
1008
00:44:18,158 --> 00:44:19,659
Bitch.
- How are you?
1009
00:44:19,759 --> 00:44:21,094
Welcome.
1010
00:44:21,194 --> 00:44:25,665
This is a dream come true
going through all this stuff.
1011
00:44:25,765 --> 00:44:27,000
I kind of wanted to know
from you, like,
1012
00:44:27,100 --> 00:44:28,635
what would be you in a product?
1013
00:44:28,735 --> 00:44:31,905
My drag is all about
bold colors,
1014
00:44:32,005 --> 00:44:33,907
super pigmented eyeshadow.
1015
00:44:34,007 --> 00:44:35,775
Two aesthetic points
that I really go for,
1016
00:44:35,875 --> 00:44:37,143
old Hollywood glamour,
1017
00:44:37,243 --> 00:44:38,912
and then that
party girl aesthetic.
1018
00:44:39,012 --> 00:44:40,680
Bright blush, bright highlight.
1019
00:44:40,780 --> 00:44:42,082
Tacky, trashy.
1020
00:44:42,182 --> 00:44:43,450
You know what I mean?
- OK.
1021
00:44:43,550 --> 00:44:45,151
The girl you would see
outside of the truck stop.
1022
00:44:45,251 --> 00:44:46,686
You know, the blue eyeshadow.
1023
00:44:46,786 --> 00:44:47,687
OK.
1024
00:44:47,787 --> 00:44:48,989
This is so incredible.
1025
00:44:49,089 --> 00:44:50,156
This is a long time coming.
1026
00:44:50,256 --> 00:44:51,458
What I've always
wanted to do is just
1027
00:44:51,558 --> 00:44:54,027
share some of the excitement
for the winner
1028
00:44:54,127 --> 00:44:57,197
and really highlight
and prop them up with something
1029
00:44:57,297 --> 00:44:59,466
that I feel could express
themselves in a way
1030
00:44:59,566 --> 00:45:02,702
that they do every single day
on the show, which is makeup.
1031
00:45:02,802 --> 00:45:03,870
So what colors are you feeling?
1032
00:45:03,970 --> 00:45:05,572
I feel like a pinky highlight
1033
00:45:05,672 --> 00:45:06,940
would be great too,
to go into the blush.
1034
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,041
A silvery pink?
1035
00:45:08,141 --> 00:45:09,175
Silvery pink would
go into the blush.
1036
00:45:09,275 --> 00:45:12,545
My whole idea is
when the spotlight hits--
1037
00:45:12,645 --> 00:45:14,047
- Yeah.
- You see the glow going.
1038
00:45:14,147 --> 00:45:15,148
It glows.
1039
00:45:15,248 --> 00:45:17,083
So it's an
undercover explosion.
1040
00:45:17,183 --> 00:45:18,284
- Abs--oh, I love that.
- Right?
1041
00:45:18,385 --> 00:45:19,519
Yeah.
1042
00:45:19,619 --> 00:45:20,987
OK, so you want, like,
a gradient of blues.
1043
00:45:21,087 --> 00:45:22,989
Like a gradient of blue
would be fantastic.
1044
00:45:23,089 --> 00:45:24,391
I love it.
1045
00:45:24,491 --> 00:45:25,725
I'm going to do like
a darker tone right under here.
1046
00:45:25,825 --> 00:45:26,926
Exactly.
1047
00:45:27,027 --> 00:45:28,495
And that really pops
the green in your eyes.
1048
00:45:28,595 --> 00:45:30,230
OK, you know all your
complementary colors.
1049
00:45:30,330 --> 00:45:31,297
Yeah.
1050
00:45:31,398 --> 00:45:32,532
That's amazing.
I'm so impressed.
1051
00:45:32,632 --> 00:45:34,434
I grew up with these
big Texas sunsets.
1052
00:45:34,534 --> 00:45:35,835
When you're getting
ready for the night,
1053
00:45:35,935 --> 00:45:37,404
that golden hour
is that last moment
1054
00:45:37,504 --> 00:45:39,005
to make that impact
in the light.
1055
00:45:39,105 --> 00:45:41,274
And I do always lean
into those sunset colors.
1056
00:45:41,374 --> 00:45:42,308
This is wild.
1057
00:45:42,409 --> 00:45:43,543
I like it, though.
1058
00:45:43,643 --> 00:45:44,811
Drag is so important.
1059
00:45:44,911 --> 00:45:47,080
It always has been,
but especially right now.
1060
00:45:47,180 --> 00:45:49,049
Makeup is a big part of it,
1061
00:45:49,149 --> 00:45:52,419
and we want to show that
we're here to celebrate drag.
1062
00:45:52,519 --> 00:45:54,454
I think that drag is like
the beacon of light
1063
00:45:54,554 --> 00:45:55,989
amongst all the fuckery.
1064
00:45:56,089 --> 00:45:58,124
Can I say fuckery?
1065
00:45:58,224 --> 00:45:59,359
Sorry.
1066
00:45:59,459 --> 00:46:01,227
I got way too passionate
right now.
1067
00:46:02,562 --> 00:46:04,397
Oh, my God, you look amazing!
1068
00:46:04,497 --> 00:46:06,499
- You like?
- Yes, I love.
1069
00:46:06,599 --> 00:46:09,936
I've never thought of
myself as a makeup queen.
1070
00:46:10,036 --> 00:46:12,472
I like how I paint, and I feel
like it's worked for me.
1071
00:46:12,572 --> 00:46:14,407
- I wanna try one of these too.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1072
00:46:14,507 --> 00:46:16,309
But to go beyond that
and create something
1073
00:46:16,409 --> 00:46:18,344
I'd use for my drag makeup?
1074
00:46:18,445 --> 00:46:19,512
Ooh, that is so exciting.
1075
00:46:19,612 --> 00:46:20,613
So good.
1076
00:46:20,714 --> 00:46:21,981
To think that
someone would want
1077
00:46:22,082 --> 00:46:23,883
to do their makeup like mine--
1078
00:46:23,983 --> 00:46:25,352
big, bold, and tacky--
1079
00:46:25,452 --> 00:46:26,519
that--that's, uh...
1080
00:46:26,619 --> 00:46:28,054
That's wild.
1081
00:46:28,154 --> 00:46:29,155
Amazing.
1082
00:46:29,255 --> 00:46:30,557
Having my own
makeup product is
1083
00:46:30,657 --> 00:46:33,693
the last thing
on my bucket list
1084
00:46:33,793 --> 00:46:35,428
that I didn't
even know existed.
1085
00:46:35,528 --> 00:46:36,730
Gorge.
1086
00:46:36,830 --> 00:46:38,031
But now that I've
gotten a taste of it,
1087
00:46:38,131 --> 00:46:40,567
baby, the empire
is about to be built.
1088
00:46:40,667 --> 00:46:41,901
Watch out.
1089
00:46:43,036 --> 00:46:44,704
I love it.
1090
00:46:44,804 --> 00:46:48,308
Now, America's reigning drag
superstar had quite a year.
1091
00:46:48,408 --> 00:46:49,476
Take a look.
1092
00:46:52,245 --> 00:46:53,847
Ooh, let's get into it, girl.
1093
00:46:54,948 --> 00:46:56,616
It's your girl, Onya Nurve.
1094
00:46:56,716 --> 00:46:58,518
- Wow.
- Big fupa.
1095
00:46:58,618 --> 00:46:59,919
I ate a chicken wing.
1096
00:47:00,020 --> 00:47:01,821
I want to see her
host "SNL" one day.
1097
00:47:01,921 --> 00:47:03,423
You really cracked the code.
1098
00:47:03,523 --> 00:47:04,557
You mean quacked the code?
1099
00:47:04,657 --> 00:47:06,393
Oh, girl.
1100
00:47:06,493 --> 00:47:09,729
It is a masterclass
in having stage presence.
1101
00:47:09,829 --> 00:47:11,631
Now, that's
a high-class prostitute.
1102
00:47:11,731 --> 00:47:13,800
Excuse me?
1103
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:18,238

00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,421
Hey.
1122
00:48:08,521 --> 00:48:11,558
Now, listen, is being
America's Next Drag Superstar
1123
00:48:11,658 --> 00:48:13,159
everything you thought
it would be?
1124
00:48:13,259 --> 00:48:16,029
You know, it's everything
I thought it would be and more.
1125
00:48:16,129 --> 00:48:18,164
You know, I'm able
to do drag full time
1126
00:48:18,264 --> 00:48:20,734
at its highest capacity,
1127
00:48:20,834 --> 00:48:23,503
and I'm able to help
my friends and family out
1128
00:48:23,603 --> 00:48:25,939
like I've never
been able to before.
1129
00:48:26,039 --> 00:48:28,007
And I'm able
to travel the world
1130
00:48:28,108 --> 00:48:29,542
and I got a lot more money
in my bank account.
1131
00:48:29,642 --> 00:48:32,379
I love that.
1132
00:48:32,479 --> 00:48:34,080
Now, how's your daddy?
1133
00:48:34,180 --> 00:48:35,982
Everyone loved your daddy.
1134
00:48:36,082 --> 00:48:38,018
Everybody loved
Nunya Bidness.
1135
00:48:38,118 --> 00:48:40,387
He's like
Cleveland famous now.
1136
00:48:40,487 --> 00:48:41,554
- Really?
- Yes.
1137
00:48:41,655 --> 00:48:44,057
He was on a vacation,
on like a Carnival ship.
1138
00:48:44,157 --> 00:48:46,393
He wasn't acting up like
the people on Carnival, was he?
1139
00:48:46,493 --> 00:48:47,861
You know he was.
1140
00:48:47,961 --> 00:48:48,962
You know he was.
1141
00:48:49,062 --> 00:48:51,331
But there was a drag queen
on the ship
1142
00:48:51,431 --> 00:48:53,767
who noticed who he was,
and the entire vacation,
1143
00:48:53,867 --> 00:48:55,535
he was like the famous man
on the ship.
1144
00:48:55,635 --> 00:48:56,903
Oh.
1145
00:48:57,003 --> 00:48:58,238
And when he at
the grocery store,
1146
00:48:58,338 --> 00:49:00,140
little Black ladies would be
like, I see you, Nunya.
1147
00:49:01,775 --> 00:49:03,610
While he's shopping
for his chicken wings.
1148
00:49:05,712 --> 00:49:07,914
OK, so what's next
for you, Onya?
1149
00:49:08,014 --> 00:49:09,449
Oh, what's next?
1150
00:49:09,549 --> 00:49:11,051
I mean, I--
1151
00:49:11,151 --> 00:49:13,353
after winning
"RuPaul's Drag Race,"
1152
00:49:13,453 --> 00:49:16,156
I'm just excited to continue
to do everything that
1153
00:49:16,256 --> 00:49:18,291
I've wanted to do
in my life,
1154
00:49:18,391 --> 00:49:19,926
everything that
I've dreamed of.
1155
00:49:20,026 --> 00:49:22,228
I want to be the first
drag queen to win an EGOT.
1156
00:49:22,329 --> 00:49:23,496
I mean, why not?
1157
00:49:23,596 --> 00:49:25,265
Why not?
1158
00:49:25,365 --> 00:49:26,266
I love that.
1159
00:49:26,366 --> 00:49:27,634
It do take nerve.
1160
00:49:27,734 --> 00:49:29,502
- It do take nerve.
- It do take nerve.
1161
00:49:29,602 --> 00:49:30,737
Yes, it do.
1162

One more time, give a hand

But the time has come
1173
00:50:23,223 --> 00:50:26,393
when three must become two.
1174
00:50:31,965 --> 00:50:35,402
The two top queens
moving forward
1175
00:50:35,502 --> 00:50:38,638

Lip Sync for The Crown are...

1180
00:51:16,643 --> 00:51:19,546
Darlene Mitchell,
I'm sorry, my dear,
1181
00:51:19,646 --> 00:51:22,148
but this is not your time.
1182
00:51:22,248 --> 00:51:25,185

1195
00:52:19,906 --> 00:52:22,742
you are both going home
a little richer
1196
00:52:22,842 --> 00:52:24,644

Two queens stand before me.
1201
00:52:38,792 --> 00:52:40,960
Prior to tonight,
you were asked to prepare
1202

a lip sync performance of
"Every Girl You've Ever Loved"
1203

1204
00:52:48,635 --> 00:52:51,071
Ladies, this is
