Bonjour!
RuPaul: Previously on RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs the World...
You'll be putting your own spin on one of my records:
Living My Life in London.
[cheering]
-Hello! -Hi!
Hi, queens.
Janey Jack.
[off key] ♪ Just be free ♪
I'm gagged. Janey can't sing.
♪ London, London, London ♪
Janey Jack.
The performance, when I noticed you, I enjoyed you.
But you've really got to fight to be noticed.
Jujubee.
This look tonight, it's like welcome to the competition.
Mo' money, Mo Heart.
I think you should be incredibly proud of yourself.
Jujubee, Mo Heart, con-drag-ulations.
You are the top two queens of the week.
Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea, Janey Jack,
if you're not in the top, you are in the bottom.
Jujubee, con-drag-ulations. You're a winner, baby.
[applause]
Which queen have you chosen to get the chop?
Janey Jack.
Janey Jack, sashay away.
The people's princess!
Oh, mama.
Hello, divas.
Told you I was gonna be back.
Oh, wow.
Stay juicy.
It's Pangina Heals.
-Buckle up. -You've been expecting me.
I'm sending Lemon home.
Cheryl.
Jimbo to go home.
Pangina.
Janey Jack.
[Queen crying]
RuPaul: Tonight our fabulous final four
compete in a lip sync smackdown for the crown.
Jujubee.
It's the final of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs the World,
and I am so excited!
[imitating Cher] Snap out of it!
This is my fourth time coming close to the crown,
and I could literally feel it on my head.
Isn't it just terrific?
I want the crown!
Blu Hydrangea.
These other girls better be worried,
because Blu Hydrangea's coming for the world.
[evil laugh]
I came here to slay, and I'm gonna snatch the crown.
[imitating Austin Powers] Do I make you horny, baby?
I just wanna win so bad.
Oh, Mummy, please let me win.
I'm finished.
Mo Heart.
Hit it!
I'm an international, universal superstar.
Because Imma be here every week. Thank you.
It is the fulfillment to be here
with everything that I have in my arsenal now.
The queen of the mother-tucking world, darling, is who?
Mo Heart, girl!
[imitating Billy Porter] Category, clothes.
[RuPaul laughs]
Baga Chipz.
I have trained for years doing the art of performance.
I know that, Mr. Man.
Doing jobs I don't wanna do,
for it means I'll get to go out there every goddamn morning.
I'm Baga Chipz. This is my stage.
Now it's time to take over the mother-tucking world!
It's all led to this.
We're gonna crown ourselves a winner, baby.
[RuPaul laughs]
[cheering]
We are back in the werkroom after the elimination,
and I have a secret.
I made the top four!
Janey, we love you. We're gonna miss you so much.
"Life is one big effing fantasy
"as long as you believe it.
XOXO, Janey."
JJ! [applause]
Top five, sis!
Janey is a fierce, fierce queen.
And no shade to Janey.
She exceeded my expectations.
I'm very proud of her.
And to leave with that look on?
-Oh, yeah, she looked gorgeous. -It was a look.
I'm sad, but I'm so happy this is the top four.
-Yeah, me, too. -You know what I mean?
I've never done this before.
Have you never wiped a mirror?
No!
-Really? -Oh, my gosh!
I respect Janey so much.
She put up a good fight.
-Bye, Janey. -Bye, Janey.
Bye, beautiful!
But talking to her, it felt like there was no fight left.
Whereas with Blu and Baga,
they still had fire, they still wanted more,
and that's why I made the decision that I made.
I can't even put into words how excited I am for us.
We're in the finale.
-Yes, baby. -My God.
And now every country in this competition has had a badge,
apart from Canada.
[all laugh]
That was really shady.
Now I can't go to Thailand and Canada.
How did you not win the reading challenge,
you shady little bitch?
Obviously I had Janey's lipstick,
and now we wanna know.
Who did you choose?
Well...
Here we go. [laughs]
The people who saved me, I wanted to honor them,
and so I chose Janey.
We're all so loyal to each other, this four.
I had an alliance with Blu.
Did you really?
Oh, we didn't know about that.
Alliance. How dare they have an alliance?
Wasn't none of your business, honey.
Nah.
Not on my watch. Nah.
Girl, lip syncing against you,
I'm, like, I'm lip syncing
against one of the best lip syncers I know.
I mean, I thought I was there, right there, and then boom.
So I'm like, okay, well, thank God I get another week.
Mo, her rap was amazing,
she was great in the performance,
her look was stunning,
and then she just didn't win the lip sync.
Ooh, cringe.
Well, Mo, do you think
that it's lit a fire under your ass for next week?
Oh, yes.
I really wanted more badges, I really did.
But then I would be Pangina girl.
So, you know, God works-- What does the Good Book say?
He works everything out.
You didn't get the badge,
but I got you in the top four, though, bitch, okay?
Sit back, baby, just breathe.
Well, it's the UK versus the US.
Bring it on!
-Aah! -Aah!
Ooh, or it's "uck" versus "us!"
[evil laugh]
I'm ready to rock.
I'm ready to sausage roll.
-Aah! -Ooh!
The queen of the mother-tucking world is me.
Juju, are you ready to be runner-up again?
Aah, the shady queen!
It's UK versus the US,
and this special relationship is gonna turn very sour.
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh.
Because this time, it's for the world!
[imitating Dr. Evil] I'm gonna be a freakin' winner.

I can't believe I'm in the final!
Well, I can believe it,
but still, I'm in the final.
Uh-huh. Aah!
So, girls, how are we all feeling?
-Fabulous! -Yeah.
This is my first-ever final. It's so weird.
-This is my fourth final. -Oh!
It feels good, and I'm happy to be sitting here,
joining you with the golden RuPeter badge.
Here's the thing.
This really marks my second win in the entire--
In Drag Race herstory.
Yeah, like, my Drag Race herstory.
So Juju has done Drag Race 574 times,
and this is only her second win?
Bitch, I have two wins, and I've only done it twice.
These badges don't count for jack shit.
-[laughs] -They really don't.
Let's be real.
Come on, it's the final.
It's gonna go on the competition as a whole.
Only because we didn't win the lip sync
doesn't mean we didn't do much better in the challenge.
[laughs]
I've got to the final without ever being in the bottom.
I'm so talented, it makes me sick.
Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
Anything could 'appen!
-[laughs] -It's the finale.
There's four of us left, there's one crown, so...
I want that crown, bitches!
-I want that crown! -I want that crown!
That crown is mine!
I'm taking the crown! [alarm]
Oh!
RuPaul: Ooh, girl.
Her majesty done already done had herses.
My queens, con-drag-ulations!
You have reached the top of the world.
And yet your journey has just begun.
Read my lips.
Any one of you can still win the crown.
Now, let that lip sink in.
-Lips and sink. -Lip sink.
-Mm-hmm. -Something lip syncing?
♪ We have to lip sync ♪
Oh, Mummy.
Baga has the most lips in the room, I think,
so does that give her an advantage?
[all laugh]
Hello, hello, hello!
[cheering]
My final four queens.
Thank you for not only accepting my invitation to return,
but for exceeding all of my expectations.
Thank you!
-Oh! -Thank you, Ru.
In your honor, this week I'm staging a grand finale
fit for the global stage.
Ooh.
#DragRaceUK.
First, on the main stage,
category is Finest Eleganza Extravaganza.
Ooh, yes, bitch.
Next, you'll be probed by the judges and also...
by the eliminated queens.
[gasps]
And then, for the first time in Drag Race UK herstory...
[drum roll]
You will engage
in the ultimate lip sync smackdown for the crown.
-No! -Oh, my goodness!
-Oof! -Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What number is this?
That's right. [laughs]
I'm not a lip syncer.
Oh, my God.
I've got a turtle's head popping out my 'oop.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[cheering]
I've slayed in the competition, darling.
You're very much welcome.
And Imma slay this lip sync.
Get some popcorn, girl.
I've never seen you so quiet, Baga,
sitting, taking off your makeup.
I know. I'm just cleansing my beautiful skin,
ready to put on my slap.
Because do you know what? I've got something to tell you.
Mm?
I'm actually a man!
[laughs]
I'm really happy,
and I'm elated to be sitting here with all of us.
There are two queens here from the UK, from different parts,
and then we have us from the US.
Like, I'm a brown Asian person, you know.
When you think America,
do you think of somebody who looks like this?
Probably not.
And I'm so glad that I get to be that queen
that is sitting here in the top four with you.
For me to be a queer man of color, a Laotian person
representing the United States, it's pretty humbling.
I'm glad that people who look like me
get to see somebody like this,
because I never had that when I was a kid.
I just wanna say that I love you all,
and I hope that we can continue our friendship and sisterhood
after this competition.
It's so weird to hear about how you feel about us now.
Did you have any first impressions?
As you didn't hold back for one second.
You were reading us from head to toe.
You know, it was so long ago, I can't remember what we said.
Yeah, I think you read Cheryl Hole, didn't you?
-Yeah, you definitely did. -The house down.
What did you say to her?
Something about her being in a unitard leotard.
[all laugh]
When you two walked in, I was, like, oh, shit.
This is a proper competition. [laughs]
Did we make you nervous, honey?
You are both Drag Race legends,
and I was starstruck.
You have to blink and be, like,
I'm actually in a competition with Mo Heart and Jujubee.
I'm, like, how did that 'appen?
And I'm in the final with them,
so I'm doing something right.
Baga, what did you learn about yourself?
I always doubt myself, and, like, for my last season,
I was, like, I'm not good enough.
These girls are all pretty,
their makeup's amazing, their dresses are amazing.
And I learned in this competition
that I am good enough, and I do deserve to be here.
I always saw Baga as this, like, comedy queen,
and then to see this really vulnerable side of her
is really touching.
She could easily take this crown,
and then I would just be, like, wow.
Baga beat me, and I saved her.
So that was a mistake.
Was there anything any queen would have done differently?
I actually don't know if I'd change very much.
I feel like my track record in this season
is completely different to on my first season,
where I was either safe or in the bottom.
But you've got a fucking badge. I haven't got one.
Yeah, and for Snatch Game, of all things.
I feel like I deserve to be here.
I worked my ass off.
To be in the final
with these amazing queens that I've always looked up to
is just incredible.
I really hope that I can clinch the crown.
Mo, what about you?
I would say I learned to be kind to myself.
I don't think that that's something that I do.
I'm very hard on myself.
This competition showed me how strong I am.
You know, before, I felt like
I was a diamond in the rough the first two seasons,
and this time I just really feel like I got to shine.
This time, I feel settled and know my aesthetic.
I know my silhouettes, I know my art,
I know what I wanna give.
I get to show the world that your queen is here
and has been here the whole time.
I feel like we've all killed it this season.
Yes, we did.
Maybe except Juju.
No, I'm just kidding. [laughs]
Well, I mean, there's some truth to that, you know.
But, you know, as soon as I thawed out, honey, mm-hmm.
Yeah, you got that badge in the end, hey.
Honey.
And I think that shows
that if you keep trying and you keep trying,
you keep pushing yourself, then you can be in the top,
and you can feel great about what you do.
You crying over here, baby?
Yes, it's very emotional.
-Are you serious? -Are you really crying?
No, I couldn't get my contact in.
[all laugh]
It has been an absolute honor
to meet all these queens from around the world,
but now it's time
for Baga Chipz to bring home the crown!
This is the finale, girl!
Now we just gotta chop these ho's
and slay them in this lip sync, baby.
This is the most queasy moment of my life.
I have grown up watching Drag Race,
and now I could possibly win?
Oh!
Joke's on you. This was my plan all along.
I didn't wanna win the other three times.
I'm gonna win this because I'll dominate the world!

she looked surprised.
Michelle Visage.
Well, I can't move my forehead,
so I had to do something.
You look marvelous, darling.
As do you.
And international treasure Graham Norton.
Now, Graham, are you excited?
Well, you know what they say about cliffhangers.
Yeah.

Tonight we are challenging our final four
with the ultimate lip sync smackdown for the crown.
But first, on the runway,
category is Grand Finale Eleganza Extravaganza,
as if you had to ask.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win!

♪ Come on, come on, come on ♪
Please welcome the eliminated queens.
From Canada, Lemon.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's maple leaf.
[all laugh]
Lemon: I'm back in the house.
I am giving you red and white Canadian fantasy,
and I am stomping down this runway,
looking absolutely unbe-leaf-able.
Graham: Lemon and syrup?
-Bring me the pancakes! -Yum!
Honestly, red and yellow don't go well together,
but today, I'm stunning.
RuPaul: Don't leaf me this way!
From the UK, Cheryl Hole.
[tongue pop]
Graham: Our Essex rose.
Divas, I'm back,
serving you all the flowers of the UK.
It's growing on me.
It is.
So we have the English rose,
the Welsh daffodil, the Scottish thistle,
and the Northern Irish flax flower.
I'm a flower power boss.
Boss!
You bouquet, hon?
[Michelle laughs]
From Canada, Jimbo.
Has she got moose in her hair?
Jimbo: Walking the world's runway for the final time,
I am like a maple tree and a moose rolled into one.
Michelle: Ooh, look at that mooseknuckle!
[[all laugh]
I am iridescent, I am glittery,
I am beautiful, and I am all things Canada.
Don't moose with Jimbo!
Michelle: Nope!
RuPaul: From Thailand, Pangina Heals.
Graham: Off with her head.
Pangina: I'm serving you Elizabethiana,
Queen of England I,
mixed up with Thai realness.
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble.
[all laugh]
I just wanna mix the two cultures together on my body.
Oh, my God, I just feel like royalty.
She's a Bangkok destroyer.
[Michelle laughs]
RuPaul: From Holland, Janey Jack.
Michelle: You know what's better than one lip?
-What? -Tulips!
[all laugh]
Janey: It feels incredible
walking the runway for the final time,
showing my beautiful, patriotic dress to Mama Ru.
Graham: Why so blue?
[RuPaul laughs]
I have the beautiful sun, the clouds,
everything's blue, and of course,
I'm dripping in tulips.
Graham: Do you think she likes c-anal?
-It's "canal." -Oh, wow.
-Canal, yes. -Canal.
-Yes. Yes. -[laughs]
And now, our final four.
From the UK, Baga Chipz.
Now, this is much betta.
[laughs]
Baga: My eleganza,
one of Britain's greatest actresses,
classic 1960s Elizabeth Taylor.
RuPaul: These have always brought me luck.
Michelle: Mm-hmm.
I don't need a big ball gown.
It's all about the face.
I am Elizabeth Taylor.
Richard Burton wants to marry me again.
Can I bring the centerpiece home?
[all laugh]
RuPaul: From the UK, Blu Hydrangea.
Oh, she's quite the frill-seeker.
She is.
Blu: I'm serving regal, ethereal, finale eleganza.
This is Blu in her final evolution form.
Michelle: I heard she's flying south for the winter.
[all laugh]
The dove on my bodice symbolizes peace,
and it's holding a little Union Jack flag
and a little Irish flag
to represent the two communities
that live in Northern Ireland.
You know, the bluebird of happiness
is in your own backyard.
-Oh, there it is! -There it is!
-It's in her backyard. -Yeah!
I have a dove coming out of my chest,
a dove coming out of my back.
What more do you want? Put a crown on it, baby!
RuPaul: From the USA, Jujubee.
Get me a peplum, and make it a double!
[laughs]
Jujubee: Do you see me right now?
This hair literally is made for a crown.
I'm sparkly, I'm elegant.
You can stain this with cranberry juice,
and you wouldn't even see it, darling.
Does this dress make my ass look fat?
[all laugh]
I am snatched, my waist is up, up, up,
my hips are boom, boom, boom.
You see dangerous curves because I have them.
The Taking of Peplum 123.
[all laugh]
From the USA, Mo Heart.
That's some caged heat right there.
Mo: I feel so glorious,
majestic, and royal.
Oh, darling.
Graham: This dress is 4D.
She's wearing it for D.
Yes. [laughs]
The hair is coiffed, darling,
the jewels are sparkling.
Graham: Mm, orange squash.
RuPaul: Ooh, that sounds delicious.
This is a finale, darling.
I'm just ready to be crowned, Ru. Thank you.
Welcome, ladies.
Look, the gang's back together!
All right, let's now hear from the judges.
First up, Baga Chipz.
Hello!
Well, Baga, what a journey it's been.
Look after look, and performance after performance,
you called back to what we loved about you in Series One.
You started out with your hilarious "much betta" song.
I'm much betta!
Even when it was costumey,
like your work of art and your leprechaun,
you brought you to it.
I think people don't understand
how difficult it's going to be to come back.
It's hard, and I felt like you weren't pushing yourself
as far as you should.
And then Snatch Game.
[imitating Kathy Bates] I'm your number one fan.
Suddenly, Baga was back,
fully formed, so clever, so funny.
It just reminded us of Baga's genius.
Oh, thank you, Graham.
Tonight, you look so beautiful.
I think this headpiece is magnificent.
But what I loved most about tonight, Baga,
was you came out and you felt beautiful.
It wasn't, heh, and it wasn't...
It was classy.
It's no wonder that you're standing here.
You should be proud of yourself.
Thank you, Michelle.
You know, Baga, the world has embraced you.
There is a certain relatability to Baga
that makes people, you know, walking down the street
say, "Hey! Much betta!"
And that's a good thing.
It's a good thing in this business, it really is.
Very proud of you.
I have done well since the competition,
but for me, this is where it all started.
You know, if it wasn't for you, Ru,
you know what I mean, I'd be in a boozer,
having a drink and being a joke.
And, um, yeah, I just wanna say thank you so much
for giving me the opportunity in the first place.
Everyone's just so kind to me,
and I just love you all so much.
And, yeah, I'm here whenever you want me.
Baga, why does the world need drag more than ever?
We're in a very bad place in the world at the moment.
With my kind of drag, I like to make people laugh,
even though I'm sad sometimes.
You know, if I can just make anyone who's down
just forget for... five seconds
and make them laugh,
then it's--my job is worth it.
If I see anyone sad or anything,
I like to be, like, "Much betta, much betta.
I wanna be a Teletubby."
And there is actually a petition out at the moment
for me to be a Teletubby.
-Really? -Yeah.
And how many signatures do you have?
I think we've got 87.
[all laugh]
You're almost there!
Make it 88. I'll sign it.
I think we need 100.000 to get it to Parliament.
[all laugh]
-Thank you, Baga. -Thank you, Ru.
Up next, Blu Hydrangea.
Our Blu.
Well, it's a crack.
I think in this competition, you more than anybody
wanted to prove how much you've grown,
and I think you could rest assured that you've done that.
You know, we remember you
as this, you know, sweet, potty-mouth,
filthy, but sweet young girl from Northern Ireland,
and look at you now!
You came out hard hitting in a variety show
with that ridiculous act.
It was so fun and so funny and so stupid.
And then your Snatch Game was wonderful.
[imitating Dr. Evil] Throw me a freakin' bone here.
You can tell most of all
how much you love doing what you do,
how proud of it you are,
and I'm happy that you're standing here.
Thank you so much.
You've played the game, you know, brutal at times,
bit of a silent assassin, but you did it.
You played by the rules, and it got you here.
And also, you deserve it.
Well done. Job-- job completed, I would say.
I wish more people
had the opportunity to revisit a situation
and then really prove themselves,
and you definitely have done that.
It's amazing to watch our little Blu grow up.
That was so kind, thank you all so much for your words.
Coming back, yeah, I might have had an agenda.
I didn't expect to be maybe this cutthroat,
but I looked up this line on that first week
and thought, I'm just a filler queen.
But now, being here on the stage, it feels right.
In life, if you ever feel like a filler queen,
dig your feet into the ground
and say you're not going anywhere,
because you deserve to be there.
And that's what I did in this competition,
and I really feel like I showed as much of Blu as I could.
You look gorgeous tonight.
Tell me about this dress.
I wanted to incorporate the dove on my bodice.
It's holding a little Irish flag and a little Union Jack
because it represents my country.
There's a troubled past with Northern Ireland,
and I just wanna show that there is a future of peace.
And hopefully me being here
is, like, visibility for people back home
that you can be yourself
in whatever way you want to be and thrive.
That's a lovely message.
Thank you so much.
Blu, why does the world need drag more than ever?
Well, I think, like,
you represent queers in every single facet.
We could represent, like, a general community of people,
but we could also represent one person
that is watching this show on their TV
without their parents knowing, which was what I was.
And I hope that there's one little Josh out there
that gets to see me and smile
and wanna live their life to the fullest.
Thank you.
Up next, Jujubee.
-Jujubee! -Michelle!
You are one of the most beloved queens
and you have the track record to prove it.
That's why I was so confused
in the beginning of this competition.
But then the minute you finally decided
it was time to reenter your body,
you were off and running.
It's like you suddenly were defrosted,
and you were back, and it was electrifying.
And if you were thawed out last week,
tonight you are sizzling.
I mean, this is so great.
People aren't buying you dinner,
they're buying you a sports car and a beach house.
This is so classically pretty, Juju.
The cut, the look, the color, the hair, the jewelry,
and I was so glad
that you brought you back to this competition.
Congrats.
I'm very proud
that you've been able to wind up in the final four.
It's satisfying when you see people that you love
and that you admire finally hit their mark.
What are your thoughts on what was happening early on?
A few days before I stepped back on this stage,
I saw a picture of my mother.
This is the woman that abandoned me and my two sisters
when I was 15.
She looked really happy.
So I was confused,
and it took me all these weeks
to finally get to that point to be able to forgive her
so that I can get back here.
Because all I could think about
was being left and not having a family.
And when I finally stood here with you,
with the queens,
I finally felt like I was at home again.
So last week, I said, bitch, you need to come back.
And that's why I'm still here,
and I'm not going anywhere.
I'm sorry that that happened to you.
I'm sorry that happens to any child.
One of my prayers is I say to God,
I release all resentments to you.
Even if you don't believe it,
just saying it actually works,
because it speaks to the willingness to let it go.
Yes.
Why do you think the world needs drag now
more than ever before?
Well, as a queer person and as a drag queen,
we have the ability, because of you,
to shine light into even the most darkest places.
Airline, that little kid, had nobody to look up to.
But when he saw you, Mama,
he was, like, oh, my gosh, ornamental.
You know, I wanna do that.
And it's the full circle moment.
I'm here, and I think that's why the world needs drag more now,
because it's love.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ru.
Up next, Mo Heart.
The world needs mo' Mo Heart.
You've been amazing in this competition.
Everything you did was highlights.
Your Billy Porter was great.
[imitates Billy Porter] Pose, darling, pose!
Your stage presence,
that's just one of those things no one can learn.
That's just something you have in you.
There were so many looks that you brought this season
you should be so proud of.
That butch queen look is, like, for me, epic.
And I want you to know what you've done this competition
has been nothing short of incredible.
And tonight, you come out here
like this kind of Mad Max warrior empress,
and that's you.
You're a competitor.
I hope you know how brilliant you are.
You are absolutely brilliant.
You look like a queen in this beautiful outfit.
I can feel this sort of-- this tug of war inside of you.
There's this armor on the outside,
but just right below the surface
is a very, very sensitive child.
I think a lot of times I push people away
because I feel like I'm too much for people.
So I just feel like I have myself.
I'm the only kid.
You know, my mom had to work, so I was just always at home,
performing for myself in her clothes.
And I will never forget the time that she caught me,
and she said, "I'm not raising a faggot."
But I will say that it was those times
that kind of prepared me for this moment,
because I can say that this time, she's proud of me.
I didn't have that the first two times,
and if she was proud, she didn't say it.
So to be here, knowing that when my mom watches this,
she's cheering the whole time, means the world.
You've been wanting your mother's approval,
but the approval that really counts the most
is between you and that child inside.
Why do you think the world needs drag today more than ever?
Drag is that universal language.
I'm an American,
but I have friends and sisters now across the world
that we may not speak the same tongue,
but we understand the same language.
Universally, the language is love.
That is what drag has given me.
I would sneak in the library and look up RuPaul.
That's me!
I'd play in my mama's clothes, and I used to look at you
and go, "Why does her lacefronts look different?"
Like, "What is her wigs?"
Like, my mama's wigs don't look like that.
It was a hard front, and yours came out the scalp,
and that was before, like, they started making those.
And I was, like, you know,
how do they do that with the--whatever.
Drag is that language of love
that everyone knows and everybody wants.
And I feel like that's what the world needs today.
Years ago, I learned that the power available to me in drag
is also available to me out of drag.
It blew my mind when I realized that.
You name it, we've all been through it,
and here we are, looking gorgeous,
and living life, sparkling,
giving Elizabeth Taylor a run for her money!
[laughs]
When you do feel a little down, lean on your sisters.
Ask for those nuggets of wisdom, because we all have them.
That's why we're still here.
Stronger people than us could learn things from our journey.
My queens, you have captured the imagination
of fans across the globe.
Here are but a few.
Hello, everyone. Remember me?
I can't be there, and I'm absolutely gutted,
but I just wanna wish all the finalists the best of luck.
You've come this far,
you're absolute stars already.
Please don't forget about me.
Mama Ru and you amazing queens,
I wanted to wish good luck to all of you finalists.
And if you wanna win the smackdown,
you need to pose, darlings.
Ahh.
Take a little pose.
Good luck to all of you finalists.
You are the top queens in the world,
and I hope you do your countries so, so proud.
I'll be watching you!
Yay!
Oh, my God.
[cheers and applause]
Ladies, as you prepare
for the ultimate lip sync smackdown for the crown,
the judges and I will be visualizing world peace.
You may leave the stage.
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
Oh, Mummy. [laughs]
We're back in the last Untucked.
Yay! We did it, girls!
We're having, you know, our lovely cocktail.
You know we're in the UK, 'cause they didn't put no ice in it.
-Cheers, bitches! -Cheers!
Congratulations to all of us, baby.
-Uh-huh. -We did that.
And we all look stunning.
And we all poured our hearts out on that stage as well,
which was gorgeous to see.
What did you girls think of all the judges' comments?
To hear from Ru, "I'm so proud of you,"
it's what I've been waiting for from a figure like that.
You know, I opened up
about my mom abandoning me and my two sisters.
That was six months after my dad died.
And to live through that and be here,
I finally feel loved.
And that comes from me also.
Blu, what about you?
It was just amazing.
I know that whatever happens tonight,
I'm just gonna be so happy and proud of myself
and you for being here.
I love you lots.
I love you.
I just wanna go sit in a corner and just wail.
It's what we deserve.
Surprise!
[screaming]
-Hey, girlies! -Hi, ladies!
Oh, Mummy, the eliminated girls are here!
Hi!
Oh, Pangina's here, too.
Oh, it's so nice to see you all, girls!
-Family reunion. -Finally!
I wanna hear all the drama. I wanna hear what happened.
I don't know anything.
Well, it was wonderful with all of you girls not being here.
[all laugh]
Well, I'm sure it was, honeybuns.
Shady bitch.
What was the biggest gag of the season?
Well, I think that was Blu Hydrangea
eliminating the strongest competition.
Oh.
[slurps]
Do y'all feel it, baby? Because it's here, like, ooh.
Especially how heartbroken you were.
I was fine.
[all laugh]
Aah!
I didn't think I did the worst that week,
and I wasn't prepared to go home.
When I was talking to Blu about it,
she assured me that I wasn't gonna go home.
So I'm just curious.
I never said that.
I don't wanna pick you.
-Yeah. -Because I really respect you,
and I don't think I'll be able to.
But I can't say it's not tempting.
Yeah.
It was the worst thing I've ever done in my life.
But I knew I had to do it, and I--
Why? I wanna know why.
I just think when you took Jimbo out,
this was a similar opportunity
for me to get rid of my biggest competition.
But if I didn't do it, someone else was going to.
I just needed the closure, babe.
For me, I didn't play that game.
I took Jimbo out, and obviously he's a competition,
but for me, I took it every single week
who did the worst in that challenge.
So for me, that just made me feel inadequate.
I was so devastated.
Mostly looking back what was kind of the shittiest to me
was talking to you, how you were just dead inside.
You weren't listening to anything I was saying.
Because I had to combine being a dog,
being Dorothy, being beautiful.
I was listening to you, because you had a lot to say.
Barely. You were barely listening.
No, I was listening to every single word.
But you didn't allow me to say anything,
so that was the truth of it.
You can spin it however way you want, but that's what happened.
We've got Jimbo here, we've got Pangina here,
we've got Blu here, and I'm just, like...
[ping-pong ball back and forth whacks]
You know, I laid in bed,
and I was, like, "I'm gonna just talk about
how shitty that stupid outfit was,
with her damn ponytails and all those stupid ties."
Or "I'm gonna talk about how shitty she looked
and that dumb polka-dot look."
Or "I'm gonna talk about what a stupid bitch she is."
But then Ru said, "Release to the universe,"
and that's what I've done.
So I'm not gonna say those things.
[all laugh] You just said it!
You just did!
That is the shadiest move.
I did? No.
You smell, your hair is ugly, your nose is shit,
your makeup is terrible, you can't dance,
but I wouldn't say that.
I could, but I wouldn't say that.
[slurps]
I wanna know what have we all learned from this experience?
Let's start with you, Lemon.
Nothing.
[all laugh]
I've learned forgiveness.
[snickers]
I have!
[all laugh]
What I've learned
is that this is one of the best experiences of my life.
I've met the best people,
I've met the most talented people,
and I'm a much better drag queen coming out of this.
So thank you guys.
Well, ladies, we are the first cast
of UK vs the World,
and if they never do it again, bitch, we are it.
[all laugh]
It feels so great to be in the same space together again.
[cheering]
Have your fun now, babies.
[all laugh]
But guess what?
It's time for the lip sync smackdown,
and I gotta get changed.
Welcome back, ladies.start here
Now, to explain how we'll choose our winner tonight,
let's go to Drag Race's number one fan:
Elton John.
-Oh! -Oh, my God!
Hello, queens!
This bitch is back to explain the rules
of the lip sync smackdown for the crown.
A spin of the wheel will determine
which two queens compete in lip sync number one.
Next, the two remaining queens
will face off in lip sync number two.
Then the two winning queens
will compete in the ultimate lip sync battle for the crown.
So good luck,
and don't go breaking my heart.
[laughter and applause]
-I love that! -Fabulous!
Ladies, let the lip sync smackdown for the crown begin.
To determine our first contender,
Lemon, will you please do the honors?
Anything for you, Ru.
Big money, big money.
-Oh! -Oh!
Mo Heart, the wheel has spoken.
You will compete in the first lip sync.
Okay.
Now, please select your opponent,
and choose wisely.
Oh, the pressure is on, girl.
Wisely? Strategically?
Yes, ma'am.
Baga Chipz.
[all laugh]
-You got this! -Oh, my God.
Why would you pick the dancer for it?
It makes no sense!
[all laugh]
Mo Heart has chosen Baga Chipz.
That means Blu Hydrangea and Jujubee
will face off in tonight's second lip sync.
Blu and Juju, you may step to the back of the stage.
Baga, you get to choose the lip sync song.
Each of these boxes contains a lip sync song
fit for a grand finale.
Whose box do you want to open,
Michelle's box
or Graham's box?
I'm actually touching cloth, Ru,
so I'm gonna go for a number two.
[all laugh]
Number two it is.
Graham?
I feel like Meghan Markle on Deal or No Deal.
Here goes.
Oh!
You've chosen Domino by Jessie J.
Baga Chipz, Mo Heart, assume the position.
Two internationally acclaimed queens stand before me.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me
and save yourself from elimination.
Mo, I know you're a lip sync assassin,
but I'm not going anywhere.
This is for the UK.
I'm doing this for my country and my queen.
The time has come... [thunder]
for you to lip sync...
for the crown!
Miss Baga, I love you,
but I'm fortifying my spot in the top two.
Baby, hit the rotisserie button!
Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Michelle Visage, open your box.
It's The Reflex by Duran Duran.
Two internationally acclaimed queens stand before me.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

I don't care that this is a Drag Race legend.
I've gotta lip sync my ass off.
I've gotta do this not only for me,
but for Northern Ireland.
The time has come... [thunder]
for you to lip sync...
for the crown!
Baby, this lip sync is mine.
I'm mother-tuckin' here for the crown.
Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

I am so grateful.
Thank you for asking me back.

[applause]
Two internationally acclaimed queens stand before me.
Prior to tonight, you were asked
to prepare a lip sync performance of Supernova
by the one and only Kylie Minogue.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me
and prove that you are the queen of the mother-tuckin' world.
I'm so ready for this final lip sync.
Bring it on, Mo!
I want that crown.
The time has come... [thunder]

I'm going to do it.

My queen, is there anything you'd like to say?
Northern Ireland, I'm taking the crown home, home, home, home!
All right. Now prance. Prance, I said!
[cheers and applause]
Who'd have thought it?
One wee, shady boy from Northern Ireland
is now queen of the mother-tucking world.
Yes!
Now, remember, if you can't love yourself,
how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
Can I get an "amen" up in here?
