RuPaul: Previously on All Stars...
Somebody who already done had herses
-is coming back. -Eureka!
[cheering]
I have to be better than all these queens
if I wanna stay here.
For this week's maxi-challenge,
you need to entertain us
in The Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, And Talent Monologues.
Ooh, and a chunky half-inch heel.
Do not use masking tape to tuck, honey!
And this bitch had glued my eyes together.
Yes, I pooped myself,
and I know
no one likes a shitty kitty.
[all laugh]
He say, well, the person in the video was my roommate.
Oh, so y'all catfishing.
Okay.
Eureka, con-drag-ulations.
You're the top All Star of the week.
If you're not the top All Star,
you're in the bottom.
I'm going to vote tonight
the same exact way that I've been voting
the rest of the competition.
Same.
I want to be here.
I wanna go to the finale,
and I wanna be there with you.
Trinity has a different piece of my heart
than everybody else has.
How do I make this decision on my own?
Help.
Eureka and Jaida.
You are both winners, baby.
Which queen has the group chosen
to get the chop?
-Trinity. -I also chose Trinity.
Trinity K. Bonet, you are
and will always be an All Star.
Thank you.
Sashay away.
Love you. Good night.
[cheering and shouting]
Girl, it took me 11 weeks to get here,
but mama finally won a challenge!
Aow! Aow!
Ooh, a top four.
-A top four. -Hey!
I made it to the finale.
That's it. Don't bring nobody back no more.
Top four! [all laugh]
Whoo, Mom, I made it to the--
Can I scream in here?
Mom, I made it to the finale! [laughs]
Bitch, I am just, like, beside myself,
because this time last week I thought my road was done.
And I worked really hard,
and now Imma go into that top four
feeling like I belong here fully.
Should we do the vote?
I'm curious to see. Let's see.
-Trinity. -Okay.
Trinity.
Ra'Jah.
I don't take it personally.
I know this is just, like, a part of the process.
And as far as Trinity is concerned,
she is an awesome queen.
So thank God this part is over with.
So get this box up outta here!
Get this box outta here, bitch!
Let's just focus on
the fact that we are here as the top four.
I remember when I left here on Season 11.
You couldn't tell me
that I was even coming back into this werkroom.
So before I even got through the door the second go-round,
I said, I'm not here
to meet anybody else's expectations other than my own.
Whew.
It's okay, bitch. Let it rain, mama.
Let it out.
Bitch, y'all know I hate crying,
and y'all know I'm the strong bitch up in here.
Girl, crying is strength, bitch.
Yes, but it just does my soul good
to know that I can trust myself enough
to achieve anything that I want.
Bitch, it feels good the second time around.
When I went home the first time 11 years ago,
I took whatever I got from that,
and I applied everything I knew I had into it.
Not turning it into a woe is me but, wow, this is me.
Yeah.
I was sent home on episode four 11 years ago.
And now I am in the top four in All Stars.
I'm not gonna lie.
I kind of wish I was sitting up here
with three ho's I didn't have to worry about.
But it's really awesome, very exciting going into the finale
knowing that anybody could win.
But I'm taking it this time, honey, okay?
The crown? Bitch, I see it shining.
Ooh, I'm almost there, bitch.
I'm almost there!
I want that crown. It's my crown.
Imma get that crown, baby. [chuckles]
Oh, I'm coming for the crown.
Not that leather one
you been wearing in confessionals, bitch.
[all laugh]
The crown is mine.
When they hang my portrait in the Hall of Fame,
the kids are gonna be, like, "Mona Lisa who?"
I've had enough of all y'all.
This is it!
I gotta go put on my crowning hair.
You want me to sing, I'll sing.
You want me to dance, I'll dance.
You want me to spin plates?
Make sure they're paper, because I'm very clumsy,
but I will do it, and I will win.
We are off to see the wizard, bitch.
You want my shoes? Girl.
It's the finale.
These girls better know what the fuck is up
when it comes to Miss Kylie Sonique Love.
If they did not see me coming, bitch...
I hope you see me now.

I guess we're walking away.
She done already done had herses.
My top All Stars.
-Hey! -That's us.
A queen can make her own kind of music,
sing her own sickening song,
but did it really happen if no one sings along?
Ooh! We're gonna be singing.
-A sing-along. -What song, though?
Hello, hello, hello!

Now, before this week is over,
we're gonna crown ourselves a winner, baby.
♪ Oh, my God ♪
And the queen who earns her way into the Hall of Fame
needs to be a little bit country,
and a little bit rock and soul.
Oh, okay!
Because for your final maxi-challenge,
you'll be collaborating
on my new song, This is Our Country.
[cheering]
Imma be on a RuPaul track, bitch!
Okay, I'm here for this. I'm here for this.
It's a love letter to the US of A,
land of the free and home of the brave.
Where I can be a queen or I can be a cowboy.
-Ooh, giddy-up! -Yee-haw!
#AllStars6.
Now, they say that a country song
is just three chords and the truth.
I provided the three chords.
It's up to you to provide the truth
by writing your own lyrics.
And because you are my top All Stars,
I've got an extra-special surprise caller on the line.
-Ooh! -What? Who?
From the classic Delta Dawn
to the Grammy award-winning Bring My Flowers Now,
this country outlaw
has been making hit records
since she was 13 years old.
Werk!
Say hello to the original Mother Tucker,
-Tanya Tucker! -Hey there!
[cheers and applause]
Oh, my God, it's Tanya Tucker!
Tanya Tucker!
What is a little gay country boy
supposed to do with himself?
We all celebrated when you got your Grammy award
for Bring My Flowers Now.
[cheering] Oh, thank you.
It was an amazing feeling
to be honored after all these years.
-I mean, what, nine times? -Oh, my goodness.
-I mean, that I was nominated. -Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
And you know, the thing about it, RuPaul, is this.
I'm the perfect example of not giving up.
Always following, chasing,
and running that dream down until you have it.
Yes. Now, we're gonna have the kids write a song.
How long did it take for you to write Bring My Flowers Now?
Brandi Carlile and I were in the studio,
and she said to me, "Hey, T, the band's on break.
Let's go in and write that idea you've had for so long."
So I said I gotta go to the bathroom and think about this.
That's where I do most of my good thinking.
[all laugh]
Well, because I'm alone, it's quiet,
and I have time to speak with the man upstairs and my dad,
who I wish I'd listened to and I wish he was still around.
However, I hear him very well now,
and a lot of things come back
when you just sit and listen, you know.
Now, the kids here have some questions for you.
So with the integration of pop music
and rap culture in country music,
I just wanna know how you feel
about the transition of country music.
I love it. I think it's wonderful
to step out there and do something new.
Music's music, and if you don't like it,
turn it off and listen to some other kind of music.
[all laugh]
What would be one of the most pivotal moments of your career?
Sitting in that audience
and listening to my name be called at the Grammys.
I have to say this.
I say that losing was easy for me.
It's the winning that really put pressure on me.
-Yeah. -We'll see how I handle it.
You're the greatest. You're the greatest.
Well, Tanya, listen, we've got one more question for you,
and I wanna put you on the spot right now.
Would you lend your legendary voice
to the song we're putting together?
What?
Well, of course I would.
[cheering]
Oh, my God!
Yay!
Like, my eyes are tearing up.
Like, I get to do a country song
with RuPaul and Tanya motherfucking Tucker.
Like, my dreams can't even be this wild.
Thank you so much.
Sending lots of love.
I love you very much.
-Bye! -Bye!
Oh, my God, such a blessing.
How crazy and incredible is that?
-Gag! -I'm gagging right now.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, I hope Tanya has given you all some writing inspiration,
because you're gonna need it.
Later today you'll rehearse the house down cowboy boots
with Jamal Sims.
[cheering]
-[laughs] -Thank you!
And you'll pull up a chair
and chew the fat with me and Michelle.
-Oh, that's exciting. -Oh, my goodness.
All right, All Stars, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[RuPaul laughs, bell dings]
[RuPaul laughs]
Okay, come on, let's write a song
so we can sing with Tanya Tucker.
It's time to get these lyrics together.
Hellur.
I just love that there's four country queens
doing a nice country song.
Ooh, girl.
This is our last maxi-challenge,
and we get to write lyrics, record a song,
do some choreography
to Ru's brand-new song, This is Our Country.
I fucking love this country-ass song, y'all.
It's so crazy that, like, all of us are from the South.
We all have, like, a connection to country music.
I think that's so cool.
It's times like this
I really wish that my grandma was still alive.
Because these are the types of moments
that she would have lived for.
Like, she would have really just been so over the moon.
We're gonna represent for the Southern girls.
For the Southern girls, yes, ma'am.
What are you thinking?
I mean, I've got some ideas.
We have a lot to say in a little space.
Every time I write lyrics for anything,
I will sit and I will write five pages of notes and rhymes
and what I wanna say, but how I wanna say it,
and how many times I need to say it.
But it also has to fit within one very short, short space.
So I'm a little concerned.
Stop talking to me. I have to write lyrics.
You ain't wrote those two sentences yet?
No, I wrote seven pages, but I haven't narrowed it down.
Eureka, what do you think you wanna say?
I love the stories of, like, Marie Antoinette
and Mary, Queen of Scots
and Catherine the Great and Queen Elizabeth.
Like, these powerful female queens from history.
Yeah, but what does that have to--
what do they have to do with America?
Right. Well, that's what I'm getting at.
-Okay, sorry. -Right? [laughs]
So I'm mentioning that we don't need anyone like that.
Like, you know what I mean?
We don't need dictators or hierarchies.
♪ I could throw on my country ♪
♪ And give it to you just like this ♪
But I don't want to do that.
I want it to be smarter.
I want you to have to think about what I have to say,
and I want what I have to say to have to set with you.
So I think it's gonna be risky, but I think that at this point,
I have to stand out to a point
where they have to give me the damn crown.
I think I'm gonna try
to really tap more into my little country roots.
I wanna really embrace things about me
that maybe I thought
were something I should be ashamed of,
but something I should actually celebrate.
Like the twang in my voice.
Because when I moved to LA,
I felt like I couldn't express that part of me,
because I felt like people would look at me, like,
oh, wow, she's uneducated.
Like, you know, things like that.
I actually understand that
because I felt the same way when I first moved here, too.
You know what? I've actually been growing in a direction
where I just love who I am.
And it feels so much better to not put pressure on myself
to live up to a standard I think people expect out of me
and just be me.
-Yeah. -Expect me out of me.
Do you have any ideas
that are, like, popping into your head right now?
I'm touching on, like, a lot of things
that are sensitive to all of our communities,
but specifically for mine.
Because right now, being Black in America
is like being a criminal,
and it's really hard for me to talk about.
Because I'm already fearful of the world that we live in,
but to also be fearful of the police
that are supposed to protect and to serve
can get so overwhelming.
So I'm touching on that, speaking on that,
and, you know--because I feel like it's time to come together.
I'm proud to be an American,
but America right now is in a state
where I can't really say that it's my America.
It's somebody else's America.
We really need to talk about it
and really have real conversations about race,
racism, and what this country is supposed to stand for,
supposed to be built on,
which is equality, freedom, justice for all.
And I have to be hopeful and share a message of hope,
but also keep it real.
And I only have, like, four bars to do it.
Whew, this is gonna be a challenge.
Ooh!
#TeamRa'Jah. I know you're out there.
Hey!
Ladies, ladies. The fantastic four!
That's right!
So it's time for dance rehearsal with Jamal Sims. Oh!
My poor basement is staying flooded this entire season.
I'm gonna push you guys to do some country-ography.
Today we're working on RuPaul's song This is Our Country
for the grand finale of All Stars 6.
Let's get started.
So this vibe is a mash-up.
It's country, but then it's a little hip hop,
and add a little R&B up in there.
So I'm incorporating everything in this performance.
Miss Ra'Jah, are you from the South?
I'm from Dallas, Texas, so, yeah.
-Yeah! -That's the South.
So you know a little something about this, huh?
I don't know nothin' about no line dancing.
So we're stepping.
We're gonna go dee dee dee, dee dee dee, step.
-I'm on the drill team again. -There we go.
So dee dee dee, dee dee dee,
step, clap, hit, down.
Uh-uh. Dee dee dee.
Dah dah dah, dah dah dah.
Nope.
-Nope. -Ah!
Step on that left first.
There you go. Now, I wanna feel that country.
Dah, dah, dah.
-Ah-ah. -Ooh!
Ooh, this choreography is the struggle of my life.
You're gonna be doing lyrics on top of this.
Right.
So think about musicality, okay?
Okay.
You know what you have to do.
I do. I got head work, footwork, neck work.
I see what you trying to do, Jamal.
But I got you. I got something for you.
Now, shoulder roll, shoulder roll,
shoulder roll, together.
Shoulder roll, shoulder roll, shoulder roll, together.
Ba, ba-da, ba-ba, ha, ha.
And then scoot, scoot.
-Damn. Okay. -You got this, you got this.
Dee dee-dee-dee, dee. Ha, ha, scoot, oh!
The scoot got me.
-Yeah, don't second guess it. -Don't overthink it.
No, you got it. Ba, bi-di, da-da, ha, ha, dee!
Ooh! Okay.
That's all right, that's all right.
I don't know where she was going from there.
I could see her thinking about how am I gonna execute this
and how is it gonna look?
But I'm like, girl, chill out.
Mama!
She's just gotta get out of her head,
because the natural ability's there.
Boot, boot.
-So it's like, ooh. -Yeah.
Think about jumping onto your left leg.
Ska, dee-dee-dee, dee, yah, ha.
Scoot, scoot, come on!
Come on, boot scoot! [applause]
It's the last challenge.
Everything's riding on this performance.
So I have to nail this choreography.
Or off with your fucking heads!
No, I'm just kidding.
All right, so from the top.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four.
Right now, this is all badass.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Like, uh, uh.
That's what I'm looking for.
You know what I mean? That vibe.
Add a little something to it.
-Yeah, a little nasty vibe. -Okay.
Kylie has a natural roadhouse,
backroads, cowgirl, bitch attitude.
So I really wanna incorporate that in the performance.
You're gonna toss this under your arm.
So just go whap, snatch.
You toss it under your arm,
and then you snatch it with the same arm.
Oh.
So if I'm going here,
I'm snatching it with the same arm I'm throwing it. Ba.
-There you go! -Oh!
Six, seven, eight.
One, two, three.
That's it. Oh!
Here we go.
I have got to excel in this.
I cannot fuck this up.
I gotta figure out how I can take his choreography,
this fucking bandana, like, ography,
and really show the fucking bad bitch that I am.
Oom, ba, ba. Yes.
-Thank you. -Werk!
[applause]
Gin-ger-Minj-uh.
We're going sexy from the top.
-Okay? -Okay.
So you'll be starting down on the floor.
Pardon me?
From here, we're popping.
Arch your back.
An arch?
Yeah, so it's double, double, up,
and then double, double.
You gotta look sexy.
Pop it, pop it, pull,
and pop, pop.
Almost. You pumped forward like that.
I know, I-- [all laugh]
You gave me the forward pump.
The old instincts just kicked in.
I got Ginger pop, pop, poppin' it.
One more time. Fight against the instincts.
Ginger's always like this character,
and she's always, you know, really funny.
But I feel like there is a part of her
that doesn't really believe that she's sexy.
She's dancing from here,
and she needs to dance from here.
Sex kitten, sex kitten, that's what I want.
I want sex kitten.
Okay.
You want me to be sexy, Jamal?
I'm gonna show you just how to be sexy.
Grrr. [cough, cough]
[RuPaul laughs, bell dings]
[RuPaul laughs]
-Hey, Eureka. -Hi, Eureka!
Well, hello!
Come on, track suit!
It's time for my Inside All Starsinterview
with Ru and Michelle.
It's really just like setting with mama and papa,
and just shooting the shit.
And I love to talk.
I'm the talkingest damn thing you ever saw.
[laughs]
So you're here for a third time.
Third time's the charm, honey. Ring the alarm.
Honestly, it's been a really incredible experience.
The thing is, strangely this time around,
I wasn't so fixated on winning
as much as I was just enjoying the moment, you know?
-Yeah. -And that made it a blast.
You know, Season 10, I was so desperate to do my best,
because I felt like it was gonna be the last chance I got
to show success to my mother.
And I think there were moments in that season
that, you know, I didn't care
who I pushed out of the way to get there.
And this time, I've been able to just embrace people,
enjoy myself, and do the best I can do.
Do you feel she was proud of you?
I know she was proud of me.
She was actually at the finale.
And when the crowd started cheering, "Eu-re-ka, Eu-re-ka,"
I looked at her, and her eyes were welled up with--
like, girl, it's like I didn't even need the crown
at that point, you know what I mean?
Those are the moments I get to cherish.
So, now, what would being in the Hall of Fame mean to you?
It would really validate my journey as a bigger queen,
and I think a lot of other bigger people, too.
And, you know, I don't wanna just talk about my size,
but that's a platform that's very important to me,
because I have been torn down my entire life for it.
And I decided I was never gonna be torn down,
at least by myself.
And I think that I have shown that
every season I've been here.
Well, Eureka, you are a fabulous queen.
You've done a great job here,
and you have so much more ahead of you.
Your career is just gonna skyrocket even more.
Thank you for your time, both of you.
-Thank you, love. -Thank you, Eureka.
Good luck!
Kick to the sky, even in potato shoes.
[both laugh]
-Ginger Minj! -Come on up, Ginger.
Is this the stairway to stardom?
-Uh-huh. -[laughs]
How you going, Ginger?
I'm great. I'm just really excited to be here.
You are one of the biggest stars
to ever come out of this competition.
We're talking talent, we're talking heart,
we are talking the total package.
You've got it all.
You've done so much since the last time you were here,
but you decided to come on back to All Stars.
I'm back, back, back, back, back again!
[laughs] You know, I had a great run on Season 7,
and then I had a really, like, defeating run on All Stars 2.
And I knew that I had unfinished business here.
What do you know about this competition
that you didn't know the first two times?
That you gotta have fun,
and that you gotta do what makes you feel good.
And I'm happy. I'm so happy to be here.
And I have felt unstoppable in this competition.
I know I have to get outta here,
but when you and I were on set for AJ and the Queen,
it was my very first day there.
One of the actors came up and said, "Oh, do you do drag?"
And before I could answer, you stepped in
and you said, "Yes, this is my daughter."
And the whole point of our relationship
came into focus in that moment,
and I've carried it with me, and it's what's helped me
to really succeed in this competition.
So thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, and thank you for hearing that,
because it's the truth.
You are my daughter.
Thank you so much for coming to talk to us
and gracing us with your presence and your talent.
We are so proud of you.
Come on in, Kylie!
-Hi, honey! -Have a seat.
-Hello. -Hello.
You have emerged as this competitor with so much soul,
it surprised both of us.
Thank you. It feels good the second time around,
I will tell you that.
Well, it feels like the first time, actually.
-Absolutely true. -Yeah.
It's like a breath of Jesus right now.
[all laugh]
Have you been surprised since your transition,
who emerged from this cocoon?
When I was little, I had to deny the feminine parts of me.
Then when I started my transition,
I felt like I needed to deny the masculine parts of me
so I can own my femininity.
Once I transitioned, I realized who I am
runs way deeper than the outside,
you know what I mean?
Oh, yes! You've hit the spot
that every human ascended master realizes,
is that you are everything.
I probably wouldn't be the person I am today
had I not had the opportunity from you.
And you're one of the first people I ever seen,
like, a real star in person.
You were touring for Star Booty
in your purple dress and your big white afro wig.
And I was just gagged. I'm like, that's RuPaul.
And you're to me everything a star should be.
You share everything that you've earned and worked for,
and you're sharing that with the world.
To have that power means nothing
if you're not able to help people.
And if I can be just half of that--
Well, you know, that's very kind of you to say,
and I really hear what you're saying and I appreciate it.
But I want you to also know
that you sharing your story and your sweet, soulful heart
is your gift.
That is helping so many people, you have no idea.
I appreciate that, and I thank you so much.
Good luck, sweetheart.
Thank you for having me here. This was a pleasure.
Thank you, my love.
Ra'Jah!
You're back and you're better than ever.
Oh, my goodness, I'm back.
I left here Season 11, like, really doubting myself,
unsure of who I was as a queen.
You know, the Internet started telling me who I was
and all of that, and I just had to drown out all the noise
and say, bitch, remember...
remember how powerful you are just by being yourself.
But something definitely clicked,
because the looks you were presenting in Season 11
versus what you're bringing now,
you came, like, correct this time, you know what I mean?
Thank you. That's what I wanted to do is come correct.
I'm actually proud of everything that I've shown this season.
And you have made them all.
All. Every single look that I brought.
I've made a point to make sure it represents who I am,
make sure that it's fun, it has my spirit into it,
and make sure that it looks damn good,
and that she can walk and sell it,
sell the hell out of it.
Well, you've honed in on what your brand is.
I know you've adopted purple as your signature color.
Yes, I have.
My favorite color is actually magenta,
which is a shade of purple, so--
See, that's a very LaToya answer, by the way.
"My signature color is purple,
but my favorite color is magenta."
-There you go. -Very LaToya.
Ra'Jah, you've been a joy in this competition.
I am so proud of you.
And I'm still mad at you
for the way you can walk down this runway.
You is a marvel on the runway.
Thank you. [all laugh]
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Thank you, honey. -Good luck.
Thank y'all. I love y'all.
-Ooh! -Oh, my.

It's cute, it's real cute.
Today, baby, one of us four
is going to be placed

[gasps] Me.
I'm so excited.
For me, it's a personal dream and goal and challenge,
and I exceeded my expectations.
Same.
I've worked so hard for this moment,
and it's just something
that can not only change the chapter in my life,
but maybe even a whole new fucking book.
Girl, I was wore out after that rehearsal with Jamal yesterday.
Right, he got me right together, bitch.
-Right on together. -I said, come on, quick feet.
I love the faces that you make when you rehearse.
When you do your little lips.
-Oh, when I'm feeling it, bitch? -Mm-hmm.
My friends make fun of me
because I do this little clap face moment.
I'll be like...

Do it again, do it again, do it again, do it again.
[laughs]
We should all try that.
One, two, three.
Yes! That's the way you do it, girls.
That's the way you do it.
Y'all feeling ready for this?
Y'all know I've been too ready to wear these clothes,
and I'm not crying.
I just wanna make it to the last episode
wearing my clothes.
Girl, you almost didn't make it.
Oh, friendly reminder.
Bitch, I turnt it out, and I'm proud of what I've done.
I have fought after getting sent home
and still making it to the finale.
So I already feel like a winner.
But, bitch, I want the crown!
Any single one of us getting that crown
would be completely valid
and completely understandable at this point.
Fact.
So, yeah, I want it, but--
Aah!
But I also see very, very strong arguments
in everybody's favor.
Do you guys think that track record
is gonna play anything into the final decision,
or is it just all about what we bring today?
If you really look at the track record,
we all are pretty balanced.
Such a strong top four, ma'am.
For sure.
Today is just really about having fun,
enjoying and relishing in every moment,
because this is probably my last time
getting to compete in this competition.
Well, never say never, girl.
Well, you know, unless they do a winner's season.
[laughs]
There's been so many doubts that have run through my mind,
that people have projected upon me,
but, bitch, I'm still here, still fighting for that crown,
and I'm proud of myself, bitch.
[laughs]
At this point, it's not even up to us anymore.
-All right. -And I like that.
Today is a lot of pressure,
but just one more step, ladies.
I think we need to go out here
and, like, let these judges have it, bitch.
Make it hard for them to make a decision tonight.
I mean, bitch, we about to lasso the hearts of these judges.
-Yep. -This country-ass number.

Welcome to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.
Tonight, it's just family.

It's Michelle Visage.
Baby, if you think I'm 41,
you can call me whatever you want.
[all laugh]
Style superstar Carson Kressley.
Did you ride here on one of your horses?
Actually, I'm a little saddle sore,
so I rode a cowboy instead.
-Oh! -And now I'm more saddle sore.
[laughs]
And the hilarious Ross Mathews.
Are you a country fan?
Oh, it's not my first time at a gay rodeo, Ru.
Giddy-up.
[all laugh]
For this week's grand finale, we challenged our queens
to put the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent
into an epic country performance.
And tonight on the runway,
category is
All StarHall of Fame Eleganza Extravaganza.
[laughs]
All Stars, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[engine cranks]

RuPaul: Up first, Eureka.
Come on, Cher farewell tour!
Ross: Looking like a Bob Snackie.
Carson: When the pope goes to carnivale.
[all laugh]
Eureka: My All Star eleganza look
is inspired by my mother's favorite color, purple.
And I am giving Bob Mackie-inspired nude fantasy,
because Eureka's a showgirl.
How's your head piece?
Ooh, feathered. [all laugh]
Every kind of rhinestone you can imagine in purple,
and I've got the crown on my mind.
RuPaul: You know, the room really did need a light dusting.
[all laugh]
Up next, Ginger Minj.
Ginger has returned to the fold.
Michelle: She's very layered.
Carson: Origami mommy.
[all laugh]
Ginger: This look completely embodies who Ginger Minj was,
who Ginger Minj is, and who Ginger Minj is going to be.
It has that classic 1950s housewife silhouette,
but it turns it on its head.
So I feel like $100,000 and a crown right now.
Michelle: Honey, your glamour pussy's on fire!
RuPaul: All right, material girl.
[all laugh]
Kylie Sonique Love.
Michelle: Ooh, red, white, and fierce.
RuPaul: She's Ameri-can.
Ross: Makes me wanna show up to the polls,
if you know what I mean.
Kylie: I wanna take back the American flag
and make it stand for something that we can all be proud of.
And as a trans woman,
where people like me are looked down upon,
I want to take that flag and wrap it around my body
and say, bitch, I am here, too.
Michelle: Stars and struts.
Carson: I really like her bunting.
[all laugh]
RuPaul: Ra'Jah O'Hara.
Michelle: Did someone say Mahogany?
Carson: She's giving me aubergine.
Well, an eggplant, actually.
RuPaul: Well, you know, purple is the color of royal-tea.
Ra'Jah: Now, y'all know I'm the purple queen,
so it wouldn't be right
if I didn't finish this decked out in purple.
Oh, and a nasty leg out,
because Ra'Jah keeps it funky, honey.
Have you seen this walk? Ha-ha!
You better know it.
Pushing full steam ahead, bitch.
Ross: You mean this whole season she had legs?
[all laugh]
♪ You wear it well ♪
[RuPaul laughs, bell dings]
[RuPaul laughs]
Welcome, All Stars.
Now, all season long, you've had the responsibility
to decide which queen to send home.
Now, for the grand finale,
it's my honor to decide which one of you
will slay her way into the Drag RaceHall of Fame.
But first, it's time for the judges' final critiques,
starting with Eureka.
-Eureka! -Hi!
-I found it! -Finally!
This is probably my favorite look
I've ever seen you in the history of Eureka in.
Oh, thank you.
I would never, like, look at this on a hanger
and think of you,
which is why I love that you wore it tonight.
Because a great entertainer keeps us on our toes.
It was so exciting when you came out,
because you just look like a star.
-Thank you. -Wow, gorgeous.
Amazing.
-Oh, well, thanks, Ma! -Yeah.
Your music video performance,
you gave us some great excitement
with power and grit.
Overall, I think this is a great finale for you.
I didn't quite get the outfit.
Marie Antoinette in a country song.
Am I missing something?
But then your lyrics kicked in,
and it was like, of course this is how she's gonna do it.
-Thank you. -My favorite lyric, you said,
"A true queen lives and leads by example."
If that's true,
you're not just a queen, you're royalty.
Thank you.
What I loved about your journey in this All Stars
was that you showed us how much you've grown,
but I feel like you've grown as a person as well,
and you're bringing that to your drag.
You did not only Eureka proud,
but your mama is watching, and you did her proud.
Thank you.
When you look back on your time here,
what will you remember, what will you think of?
I think I'm really gonna love getting to watch myself
be so fucking fabulous on the runway. [laughs]
Because I love the idea of being a big girl and serving a look.
That's very important to me,
because like you saying you wouldn't see me in this,
that's the reaction that I want from people,
to remind them never to count people like me out.
Yeah.
Because the world looks at people like me
and they see laziness, undisciplined, insecurity,
a morbidly obese loser.
I don't fit in.
I never have my whole life.
But I fit in drag.
My heart, my costumes, these clothes,
my self-love, my hard work,
it's all custom-made for me.
And I'm not the best person in the world,
I'm gonna be honest.
But I'm so much better than I was yesterday
because I am forever evolving.
And I promise
that I would do my absolute best to reign.
Because I'm not a loser.
I'm a wiener.
[all laugh]
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Up next, Ginger Minj.
You've got a little tannish glow about you.
It's my inner beauty coming out.
[laughs]
Or my tuck slipped. I don't quite know.
One or the other, yeah.
Oh, my God, you look so gorgeous,
I can't even look at you.
I can't even look up at you.
It hurts to look at you.
That's how good you look,
so I'm just gonna look at it this way.
It's still fun, it still has a little bit of camp to it,
but it's really gorgeous,
it's elevated, it's elegant, and you're beautiful.
In the performance, I thought you were fantastic.
"My country, 'tis the tea," I think you said?
Which I lived for.
It was just so much fun.
You were in your element.
You were dancing with cute boys,
you were making love to the camera.
I mean, I'm just, like, I wanna be this bitch right now!
We all know who you are, and we know how good you are.
So when you started this season, All Stars 6,
I thought, ooh, I'd hate to be her right now.
Because she knows what we expect from her,
and if she doesn't deliver that, she's gone.
But you somehow did even better,
and the reason is, I think,
is because you just have this natural ease as a performer
that is a joy to watch.
You should be so proud of yourself.
I am. I am.
I've worked so hard.
Even without a crown on my head,
I took what you gave me eight years ago now
and I went out into the world telling my story.
And you said it.
I'm one of the biggest stars that has come of this show.
And I did all that without the title,
so imagine what I could do with the crown?
Growing up, I didn't have anybody like me
to look up to on television.
But I've always held myself to the standards of a winner.
Even if I couldn't achieve it, I worked so hard to get there,
and I want to show kids around the world and myself
that I am a winner,
and that's exactly why I think
I should definitely be inducted
into the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
I want it so bad.
Thank you.
All right, up next, Kylie Sonique Love.
I love that you wore the American flag tonight,
because this is what America looks like.
It's fun, the details with the shoe,
the body shimmer, the glove, the sunglasses.
I love the statement it makes.
You're a beautiful, wonderful, valuable American.
Really gorgeous.
So you're somebody who I have watched and admired for years.
You were Miss Got the Body who, her whole thing was sexy.
Nothing wrong with that.
People have built empires on that.
But throughout this competition,
you became even more of a superstar
than you were before,
and I realized, oh, my goodness, there's so much more in here.
I'm so proud of you,
and I want you to stay on that path.
That's so sweet. Thank you.
Okay, I'm gonna tell a little story,
and trust me, I'll get to a point, okay?
But here's the thing.
One time I was at the mall,
and I bought this cute little bomber jacket, okay?
And I was super thrilled with the jacket,
and I brought it home.
And then like a month later,
I realized, what? It was reversible.
-[laughs] -And I was thrilled!
And I feel like that's kind of what happened to you here.
You thought you were one thing, you turned yourself inside-out,
and shocked the hell out of not just us,
but I feel like maybe you've even shocked yourself.
What a surprise, what a surprise.
And I love that you leaned into your twang in this song.
When an artist embraces what is naturally there and uses it,
that's when we have an opportunity
to fall in love with you, and we absolutely have.
-So proud of you. -Thank you.
That twang was something that I used to be ashamed of.
But I wanted to rewrite that story,
and I wanted to own that.
Everything I've had in life I've had to work for,
sometimes extra hard.
Sometimes I worked for things and never got it.
But I kept going,
and I'm very proud of everything that I've showed you guys.
And I think being crowned tonight
would prepare me for the next chapter of my life.
I wanna share who I am with the world,
and I wanna inspire people to live in your truth,
and don't play down to anyone.
Because we only go around this world one time,
so make it count.
Thank you, Kylie.
-Thanks. -Ra'Jah O'Hara.
Well, Ra'Jah, you're another one that sideswiped us.
Didn't see it coming.
You did great in your season.
You made it almost halfway.
But to be quite honest, nothing really memorable.
This time, every single time you hit this runway,
you left an impression.
Not even exaggerating.
You came here to actually slay this time,
and slay you have done. TKO.
Rodeo-deo-OMG, that was a great performance.
You were just so at ease with all of it.
I thought the rapping was great,
I thought the movement was great,
I thought the look was great.
It was firing on all cylinders.
Who knew? Country singer.
And tonight on the runway,
I love that you made your finale
this newly embraced trademark of the purple family.
You really understand your body, you really understand fashion.
Something tells me this dress
took longer than 60 seconds to make.
[laughs] Just a little bit.
I love that it's purple, because you remember,
you started this season in one minute
making a little, teeny purple dress.
This is the perfect bookend to this season.
You know, Joan Rivers had a saying,
"At dinner, hold on to your fork,
because dessert is coming."
And you waited around for dessert, and you got it.
Do you feel that?
I really do.
I started this competition a couple of years ago
as a rock with a hard exterior.
They say that diamonds are built under pressure.
This competition was the pressure for me.
And when I left here the first time,
I felt a little bit defeated.
But that was the change happening.
I walked in these doors as a gem,
but I wasn't as shiny as I feel like I am right now.
Today, I feel absolutely exposed,
I feel absolutely brilliant,
and I have to thank each and every one of you guys personally
for helping me reach my journey.
I feel like it's really important
to continue a path of showing the younger generation
that you don't have to be perfect.
That you can live in your truth
and shake away the negativity.
You can dance to your own groove,
and hopefully the world will hear your song.
And today, I hope the song is congratulations.
Thank you.
Ladies, you all have impressed me,
inspired me, made me laugh, made me cry.
You know, you inspire the world, you really, really do.
I always think about all the places where they're enjoying
what you so graciously give to us on this stage.
Thank you so much.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Thank you.
And now, while you untuck in the werkroom,
the judges and I will deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
-Come on, top four! -Whoo!
All right, now just between us squirrel friends,
who deserves a place in the Drag RaceHall of Fame?
Ru, this is gonna be a tough one to call.
-Yeah. -Ugh.
Let's break it down, starting with Eureka.
Eureka is such a powerhouse.
She has been so good all season long.
No one likes a shitty kitty.
She brought all the good stuff from her original seasons:
the bawdiness, the big personality,
giving us that kind of Divine vibe,
which she did so well in the Snatch Game.
Hit it! Make it feel better!
Tonight in the performance, I wanted a little bit more.
But she was out there really working it.
I don't think,
in all the years that we've known her,
she's ever looked as beautiful as she looked tonight.
That was breathtaking, from the top of that headpiece
to the bottom of the potato shoes.
[all laugh] Breathtaking.
Loaded baked potato shoes.
Loaded, honey.
When she first got here the very first time,
she was straight off the bus from East Tennessee.
Since then, she has really grown into a force
that knows who she is and what she has to deliver,
and it's been a joy to watch.
Yes. If she were to win,
she would wear that crown so well.
Up next, we've got Ginger Minj, another pro.
She won twice,
for Pink Table Talk and the Snatch Game.
But even when she didn't win,
she was right there at the cream of the crop.
Remember Rumerican Horror Story?
So good in a part that could have just been nothing.
Oh!
And then the Drag Tots, she was so funny.
What sets Ginger apart is that she does the work.
The flip side of that
is sometimes it comes off as a little rehearsed.
In her storytelling monologue bit,
sometimes it was just so polished
that it didn't maybe feel in the moment.
Tonight in her performance,
it was Ginger Minj at her best,
because she was super confident.
She was super prepared.
She was a joy to watch.
I thought she looked beautiful on the runway.
I love that she gave us funky glamour versus something camp.
We got to see a leg.
I thought it was fantastic.
Ginger is a star.
-Mm-hmm. -Ginger has it all,
and I'm always entertained watching her.
I don't worry about Ginger for one second
if she were to carry the weight
of winning this competition into the world.
Moving on to Miss Kylie Sonique Love.
I love a good surprise, and we got that with Kylie.
She's always fierce in skimpy outfits and looking beautiful.
But she has come so far since her season,
and in the Rumerican Horror Story,
she was fantastic.
Thank you, darling.
And she has delivered knockout performances
throughout this competition.
Tonight in the performance,
Kylie is so electrifying, she's got that star quality.
Also, her looks all season long,
I loved her frilly look,
her hot tropics green feather look.
The, Oh, My Goth runway,
and then the Drag Totmoments, she was so beautiful.
Tonight on the runway, that outfit was fantastic.
The tinsel in the hair, you know I'm obsessed.
-Uh-huh. -[laughs]
I love that she's here in the final four.
This time round, she's really found her voice.
And she's a very, very soulful, beautiful human being.
It felt like a parent watching someone become who they are.
I'm just so touched that I got to see this happen in person.
I can't wait to watch it on TV.
[all laugh]
Up next, Ra'Jah.
She came out of the gate as a winner.
Some of the looks--
that Mugler-inspired ball look was amazing.
How about her look from the Oopschallenge?
Her leg won that day, just the leg!
The first challenge she had, she chose to make a dress.
Like I said, I've seen
the very skilled Broadway seamstress Bianca Del Rio
do it, I think, in five minutes?
She did that dress in one.
[laughs]
And it was cute.
In the Pink Table Talk,
I thought she had something to say.
Speaking of something to say,
her lyrics in the performance tonight are so important.
♪ "Can't breathe, don't shoot" running through my brain ♪
♪ Let the good on the loose, this world's insane ♪
Her performance tonight,
she was probably one of my favorites.
Because not only did she rap on a country song,
but she did it her own way.
And her fashion look tonight, just pure glamour.
And I like that she's always surprising us.
She knows herself.
She's not distracted by the competition.
She was able to deliver as a great competitor.
I think that she needs to start paying her leg some royalties.
[all laugh]
You know, I wonder if she has another one?
I wonder if she has a third one.
[both laugh]
I love us.
-Me, too. -We should make a movie.
Yeah!
Silence.
I've made my decision.
Bring back my All Stars.
Welcome back, All Stars.
I have enjoyed every moment of this season.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
And now it's my pleasure to share a message
from our reigning All Starchampion,
the dazzling Shea Couleé.
Greetings, All Stars.
Shea Couleé here, your current reigning
and soon to be former reigning All Star.
I am broadcasting from a faraway galaxy
to say con-drag-ulations.
Ladies, I understand firsthand
how difficult this competition can be,
and you have done it in spite of insurmountable odds
and ever-changing circumstances.
I am so incredibly proud of each and every one of you,
and I cannot wait to welcome one of you
to the All StarsHall of Fame.
So break a lash and get that cash.
This message will self-destruct in five, four, three, two, one.
[all laugh]
She's actually in Pacoima.
[all laugh] Who isn't?
[all laugh]
All Stars, based on your performances
in this week's challenge and throughout this season,
I've made some decisions.
Ra'Jah O'Hara.
Kylie Sonique Love.
Ginger Minj.
Eureka.
Before I crown a winner,
I need to see all of you
lip sync with passion
one more time.
And...
one at a time.
All Stars, this is your last chance to impress me,
win $100,000,
a crown and scepter from Fierce! Drag Jewels,
and earn your place in the Drag RaceHall of Fame.
One All Star stands before me.
The time has come... [thunder]
for you to lip sync...
[echoing] for the crown!
Ooh!
Bitch, I'm about to give my entire life on this stage.
I hope these judges are ready, because I'm ready.
How about that?
Who is going home with the motherfucking crown?
I can smell it,
and I wanna taste it.
I want this so bad,
and I feel it, I see it.
I can see that crown on my head right now.
My heart's pounding, and I just look to the sky
and I talk to my mom and I say,
"Just guide me and give me the strength
to prove in this moment that I deserve the crown."
Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
