Copy !req
9. - You are so hot.
Copy !req
10. - Wow. I changed my mind.
Copy !req

Copy !req
12. - And break it down.
Copy !req
13. - When you gonna find out
Copy !req
14. when to shut
the fuck up sometime?
Copy !req
15. - You made a mistake, fine.
Copy !req
16. Not next time, bitch.
Copy !req
17. - Honey, things
are about to get real.
Copy !req
18. - It feels like you don't care.
That's what it is.
Copy !req
19. - You said yourself
that you were attacking me.
Copy !req
20. - No, I never said "attack,"
darling.
Copy !req
21. - There's a camera.
That's what happened.
Copy !req
22. - There is a camera,
and I never said "attack."
Copy !req
23. - So it is my fault?
Copy !req
24. - It's a reunion
unlike any other.
Copy !req
25. - Nobody wanted
to fucking help her.
Copy !req
26. - Look at me, look at me,
goddamn it.
Copy !req
27. I come from the same goddamn
place she comes from.
Copy !req
28. - The winner

Copy !req
29. receives a one-year supply
Copy !req
30. of Anastasia Beverly Hills

everything about Season 10,
Copy !req
34. child, you got
another thing coming.
Copy !req
35. Ladies, are you ready
to spill the T,
Copy !req
36. the whole T,
and nothing but the T?
Copy !req
37. - Yeah.
Copy !req
38. Now, "Drag Race"
trends on social media
Copy !req
39. across these United States
and around the world.
Copy !req
40. But one Season 10 queen
was a true viral sensation.
Copy !req
41. Take a look.
Copy !req
42. Sashay away.
Copy !req
43. - Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
44. Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
45. Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
46. - Bye, girl.
- Work, sister!
Copy !req
47. - Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
48. - Vanjie.
- Vanjie.
Copy !req
49. - Vanjie.
- Vanjie.
Copy !req
50. - Vanjie.
Copy !req
51. - Vanjie?
- Vanjie!
Copy !req
52. - Vanjie!
- Vanjie!
Copy !req
53. - Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
54. - Don't you
start with me, Michelle.
Copy !req
55. Vanjie.
Copy !req
56. - Vanjie.
- Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
57. - Miss Vanjie.
- Yes, mama!
Copy !req
58. - Miss Vanjie.
- Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
59. - Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
60. - Miss Vanjie.
Copy !req
61. - Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
62. Now, Vanjie, what were you
thinking when you were exiting?
Copy !req
63. What was going on in your head?
Copy !req
64. - Truth be told, girl,
Copy !req
65. in my head
I was not gonna go home,
Copy !req
66. so I did not prepare
no message to leave.
Copy !req
67. - Okay. Had you ever used
"Vanjie" before
Copy !req
68. to exit or to say hello or—
Copy !req
69. - Right. Well, "Vanjie"
is a multipurpose thing.
Copy !req
70. You could use it for whatever.
Copy !req
71. - It's like gay "aloha" now.
Copy !req
72. It's like "hello,"goodbye,"
and "thank you."
Copy !req
73. - People even sent me videos
of them intercoursing,
Copy !req
74. and it said,
"I'm getting Vanjied."
Copy !req
75. - "Intercoursing?"
Is that what you said?
Copy !req
76. - Intercoursing on Instagram.
- Intercoursing?
Copy !req
77. - Yeah. So now I've been scared
to open up my DMs.
Copy !req
78. But they sent me one that says,
"I'm getting Vanjied."
Copy !req
79. - So where has this taken you?
Copy !req
80. Have you traveled the world?
Have you made lots of money?
Copy !req
81. - Well, originally I was like,
Copy !req
82. well, I need to get
all my bookings quick.
Copy !req
83. - Wait, get the bookings quick
Copy !req
84. because you thought
you would be forgotten?
Copy !req
85. - Right, because
I got sent home first.
Copy !req
86. So I was like, girl,
this is my little 15.
Copy !req
87. So take your 15
and act like it's, you know,
Copy !req
88. you was there the whole time.
Copy !req
89. So when the promos
and everything came out,
Copy !req
90. I said, "Yeah, I'm in the show.
Do you want to book me?"
Copy !req
91. Like I didn't—you know,
there was no ifs, ands, or buts.
Copy !req
92. I said, "I'll be there."
- Right.
Copy !req
93. So where were you
Copy !req
94. when you realized this thing
had really blown up?
Copy !req
95. - I was in Denver, Colorado
with Dusty.
Copy !req
96. We were doing a booking.
Copy !req
97. - The audience just
started going "Vanjie!"
Copy !req
98. The cookies they threw at her
on the stage.
Copy !req
99. - Yeah!
- Chips Ahoy.
Copy !req
100. - Yeah, I was ducking
and dodging the cookies.
Copy !req
101. But I felt the love
Copy !req
102. even though I felt like they
might be trying to attack me.
Copy !req
103. But it was—
I knew it was all with love.
Copy !req
104. - I heard you met Lil' Kim.
Copy !req
105. - Yeah.
Lil' Kim came up to me
Copy !req
106. and said,
"Miss, Vanjie, Miss Vanjie,
Copy !req
107. I know who you are."
Copy !req
108. I know my face hit the ground.
Copy !req
109. I'm trying to come out
with a single with her,
Copy !req
110. 'cause if we come out
with one,
Copy !req
111. it's gonna be a shutdown.
Copy !req
112. And they don't even want us
to do a video together
Copy !req
113. 'cause that—
we really gonna be—
Copy !req
114. I'm gonna go viral again
for the wrong reasons.
Copy !req
115. - Yes!
- Now, Kalorie,
Copy !req
116. Kalorie, you were standing
right next to her
Copy !req
117. when this whole sensation
started.
Copy !req
118. You claim responsibility for
the whole Vanjie phenomenon.
Copy !req
119. - Oh, honey, I own 20%
of this company, okay?
Copy !req
120. - I see. So had you
not sent her home,
Copy !req
121. the Vanjie thing
would have never happened.
Copy !req
122. - Exactly. Exactly.
- Right. Thank you, Kalorie.
Copy !req
123. - I love Vanjie.
Copy !req
124. It was heartbreaking
to send her,
Copy !req
125. but I couldn't be more happy
for her success.
Copy !req
126. - Yeah. Well, Vanjie,
Copy !req
127. you have given everyone
around the world
Copy !req
128. so much to be excited about,
Copy !req
129. and I have
a very special message
Copy !req
130. to your drag mother,
Alexis Mateo.
Copy !req
131. Bam!
Copy !req
132. - Nice, girl.
Copy !req
133. - Next week at the grand finale,
Copy !req
134. a lip sync smackdown will
determine who wins the crown,
Copy !req
135. but all season long,
our queens delivered
Copy !req
136. some of the most epic lip syncs
in "Drag Race" herstory.
Copy !req
137. Let's start with Monet X Change
and Dusty Ray Bottoms.
Copy !req
138. - Come on.
Copy !req
139. - Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
140. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
141. Dusty, what was going through
your mind at that time?
Copy !req
142. - Going into this lip sync
knowing that Nicki Minaj
Copy !req
143. is something that
is in Monet's wheelhouse
Copy !req
144. that she does maybe seven,
eight times a week,
Copy !req
145. was very intimidating.
Copy !req
146. I mean, I do, like,
weird musical theater
Copy !req
147. and punk rock
and classic rock music.
Copy !req
148. So I stood up all night
memorizing that rap,
Copy !req
149. and you know what?
Copy !req
150. I gave it everything
I had that day.
Copy !req
151. - Now, Monet, your fake
death drop was legendary.
Copy !req
152. Did you know you were
gonna do that fake out?
Copy !req
153. - I did not, I did not.
- It was just in the moment.
Copy !req
154. - It was just in the moment.
Copy !req
155. I was like,
who knows what Dusty—
Copy !req
156. Dusty might do
some crazy ass shit
Copy !req
157. and send my raggedy ass home.
Copy !req
158. And I'd have to roll my three
broken suitcases across LAX,
Copy !req
159. so I was like, I need
to really turn it out
Copy !req
160. and do something crazy
to make RuPaul laugh.
Copy !req
161. - Uh-huh. Yeah.
Copy !req
162. Up next, Monique
versus The Vixen
Copy !req
163. when they cut to the feeling.
Copy !req
164. - Really?
Didn't we watch this already?
Copy !req
165. - She don't know the words.
Copy !req
166. - Girl, why didn't you know
your words?
Copy !req
167. - 'Cause I stayed up
working on that damn costume.
Copy !req
168. - On that costume right there.
- That costume.
Copy !req
169. - Was the outfit worth not—
Copy !req
170. - Clearly it was not.
Copy !req
171. - So in that moment, what
was going through your head?
Copy !req
172. - The hardest thing on
"Drag Race" is how you go home.
Copy !req
173. - Right.
- To get to this competition
Copy !req
174. and then to eff up
the very thing that you do,
Copy !req
175. how you pay your bills,
and I tried to do a cartwheel,
Copy !req
176. and then it was like,
oh, don't kick her,
Copy !req
177. so let's pull those legs in.
Copy !req
178. - Yeah, but your wig
fell off, too.
Copy !req
179. - That—hey.
Copy !req
180. - Have you had a wig fall off
in a performance before?
Copy !req
181. - Multiple times.
Copy !req
182. - Multiple times?
- Multiple times.
Copy !req
183. - But it doesn't bother you?
Copy !req
184. - To be perfectly honest,
America—camera man, zoom in.
Copy !req
185. - This bitch is forever
editing and directing
Copy !req
186. this motherfucking show.
Copy !req
187. - Did you keep going?
America saw me, I kept going.
Copy !req
188. Was the song over? No.
Copy !req
189. - Next, Eureka
versus Kameron Michaels,
Copy !req
190. which ended
in a rare double save.
Copy !req
191. - Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
192. - Ladies, that is what you call
a lip sync for your life,
Copy !req
193. and that is why
no one is going home tonight.
Copy !req
194. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
195. Eureka, what was that moment
like for you?
Copy !req
196. - The moment when you gagged
the fudge outta me?
Copy !req
197. - Uh-huh.
- That was scary as hell.
Copy !req
198. In that moment,
I was like, girl,
Copy !req
199. I gotta show the judges that
I'm not gonna fuck up again,
Copy !req
200. and I can't and had
to get out of my head
Copy !req
201. and just be like, you can do it.
Copy !req
202. - So you got a new attitude
after that?
Copy !req
203. - Baby, I had a whole new
Copy !req
204. motherfucking attitude
after that.
Copy !req
205. - Aquaria, you were upset
that there was a double save
Copy !req
206. because you felt that bitches
need to be peeling off
Copy !req
207. to make more room
for your ascendance.
Copy !req
208. - Well, I definitely—
Copy !req
209. As far as I know
like there's never been
Copy !req
210. like two double saves
in a season before,
Copy !req
211. so I'm like, well, crap,
what if, you know,
Copy !req
212. this was a week I thought I was
going to do poorly potentially.
Copy !req
213. What if next week is the week
that I actually do poorly,
Copy !req
214. and, you know, it's me against
someone's who's turning it out
Copy !req
215. just a little bit more than me
and now Aquaria's time.
Copy !req
216. - We've already used
the double save. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
217. I want to talk about
another lip sync right now.
Copy !req
218. This one
is between nasty girls
Copy !req
219. Kameron Michaels
and Miz Cracker.
Copy !req
220. - Disgusting girls.
- Take a look.
Copy !req
221. - Hey, bitch!
Copy !req
222. - Kameron, was this a pivotal
moment for you, this lip sync?
Copy !req
223. - I think you could
see it on my face
Copy !req
224. that I was very surprised.
Copy !req
225. - 'Cause most girls
don't get past three.
Copy !req
226. - Most girls
do not get the third one,
Copy !req
227. and at the same time,
I'm a performer,
Copy !req
228. and that's what I do best,
and for me to give up,
Copy !req
229. it wouldn't be
who I am as a person.
Copy !req
230. - For people my age, we know
that song is a super sexy song,
Copy !req
231. and you chose to do it
as a super sexy song.
Copy !req
232. And you chose to do it
as a comedic song.
Copy !req
233. - Oh, absolutely.
Copy !req
234. - Do you regret doing that?
- No.
Copy !req
235. - Not at all?
Copy !req
236. - Because I have found
when I perform
Copy !req
237. that when I try to be sexy
and serious,
Copy !req
238. it looks even more ridiculous.
Copy !req
239. I am built like R2D2.
Copy !req
240. I just have—I'm like
a trash can on wheels.
Copy !req
241. My legs are this long.
Copy !req
242. If I tried to do what Kameron
did, I would've lost harder.
Copy !req
243. Do you know what I mean?
Copy !req
244. - Yeah. Well, you made it
to the top five.
Copy !req
245. - Dammit.
- Dammit.
Copy !req
246. - Yes. Yes.
- Bottom 10, everybody.
Copy !req
247. I'm fine with that.
Copy !req
248. - Now, after the break,
we'll talk to The Vixen
Copy !req
249. about her most
confrontational moments.
Copy !req
250. Stay tuned.
Copy !req
251. You said it from your mouth.
- No
Copy !req
252. Everybody's telling me how I
should react
Copy !req
253. but no one's telling her
how to act.
Copy !req
254. Welcome back.
Copy !req
255. "Drag Race" is a microcosm
Copy !req
256. of what's going on
in the world today,
Copy !req
257. and when people
don't see eye to eye,
Copy !req
258. things can get real.
Copy !req
259. Now, The Vixen,
you said you came to fight,
Copy !req
260. and fight you did.
Copy !req
261. Let's take a look.
Copy !req
262. - Someone brought up the fact
Copy !req
263. that Cracker and my face
looked very similar today,
Copy !req
264. may have had some situations
like that in the past.
Copy !req
265. Like, it doesn't bother me,
it's not like—
Copy !req
266. - No, too vague.
So what happened was—
Copy !req
267. - Yes!
- Oh!
Copy !req
268. - She said—
- This is what happened.
Copy !req
269. - No. Excuse me,
this is what happened.
Copy !req
270. - I obvious—well,
I kind of felt like—
Copy !req
271. - Excuse me.
- No, this is what happened.
Copy !req
272. We all know that these two
heifers look alike.
Copy !req
273. You was bothered that she was
doing the same face as you.
Copy !req
274. You was mad. Be mad to her face.
Copy !req
275. - Vixen, shut the fuck up.
Copy !req
276. This is what had happened.
Copy !req
277. You interjected and you got
everything all fired up.
Copy !req
278. - So why did it take me speaking
up right now for you to say it?
Copy !req
279. - I guess you did need
your moment to pop off,
Copy !req
280. 'cause you're not gonna
have too many more.
Copy !req
281. - Ooh! Ooh!
Copy !req
282. I am over it.
Copy !req
283. This is none of The Vixen's
fucking business.
Copy !req
284. - You done ran across
the whole room, girl.
Copy !req
285. Scared. Sad.
Copy !req
286. - Do you regret bringing that
up, that whole confrontation?
Copy !req
287. - No, absolutely not.
Copy !req
288. In "Untucked,"
the girls had convinced me
Copy !req
289. to believe that Cracker
was this monster—
Copy !req
290. - Okay, don't say "the girls."
Don't say "the girls."
Copy !req
291. - Okay.
- That's too vague.
Copy !req
292. - Even better. Even better.
Copy !req
293. At the time, Monet and Aquaria
had convinced me
Copy !req
294. to believe that Cracker
Copy !req
295. had worked her way
into this competition—
Copy !req
296. - Monét convinced you
Copy !req
297. that Cracker
worked her way into what?
Copy !req
298. Please be clear,
Copy !req
299. because that was never
my point of view on that.
Copy !req
300. I was very vocal in saying
that I never felt
Copy !req
301. that Cracker faked her way
to "Drag Race,"
Copy !req
302. because I knew that Cracker
was a very successful queen
Copy !req
303. in New York City,
and Cracker is fucking fierce.
Copy !req
304. I want to make that very clear.
Copy !req
305. - So as it showed in television,
because it did air,
Copy !req
306. Monet and Aquaria said that this
has been going on for years.
Copy !req
307. So based on what Monet
and Aquaria said,
Copy !req
308. I felt that Cracker had faked
her way into the competition.
Copy !req
309. So when Aquaria wasn't
copping up to what she said,
Copy !req
310. I felt bad
because now I believed
Copy !req
311. all these bad things about her,
Copy !req
312. and now she's backing away
from the story.
Copy !req
313. - But why did you bring it up?
Copy !req
314. Were you trying to stir the pot
Copy !req
315. to sort of throw them
off their game?
Copy !req
316. - Not at all.
Copy !req
317. I kind of felt like, girl,
I need to tell you the truth.
Copy !req
318. - Mm-hmm. So, Aquaria,
why did you run away?
Copy !req
319. - I realized that I wouldn't be
able to say what I meant to say.
Copy !req
320. I was very overwhelmed,
and I didn't have the words
Copy !req
321. to describe that
I didn't mean to be vague
Copy !req
322. just to bullshit Miz Cracker.
Copy !req
323. This was something
Copy !req
324. that I didn't want to disrespect
Miz Cracker with to her face,
Copy !req
325. and I can understand—
Copy !req
326. - Only behind my back.
Copy !req
327. - No, no, no.
Copy !req
328. I think—I think—
I can see why—
Copy !req
329. - That is the truth.
Copy !req
330. - How casually I said it
behind her back.
Copy !req
331. - Facts are facts.
Copy !req
332. - How I wanted
to take care of it
Copy !req
333. in front of her face.
Copy !req
334. - Did you ultimately have that
conversation with Miz Cracker?
Copy !req
335. - We did at the end of the day
Copy !req
336. after we were done
getting out of drag.
Copy !req
337. Really quickly,
I was like, that was a lot.
Copy !req
338. Let's just move on.
Copy !req
339. You be
the best Cracker you can be,
Copy !req
340. I'll be the best Aquaria
I can be, and—
Copy !req
341. - Aquaria and I
are like real sisters
Copy !req
342. in that we resent each other.
Copy !req
343. - I think what we agreed
was that was ugly.
Copy !req
344. And, you know, we didn't
go back and heal things
Copy !req
345. or sort things out
or Vixen our positions,
Copy !req
346. but—do you know
what I mean?
Copy !req
347. - Oh, is "Vixen"
an adjective like "Vanjie?"
Copy !req
348. - Yes.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
349. - Get the popcorn.
Copy !req
350. - Like, if somebody doesn't
give me everything in my order
Copy !req
351. when I open the bag, I'm like,
Copy !req
352. I'm about to go back
and Vixen this bitch,
Copy !req
353. do you know what I mean?
Copy !req
354. So we didn't Vixen it out,
Copy !req
355. but we, you know,
we agreed that that—
Copy !req
356. we did not want this
to be a part of our story.
Copy !req
357. - Sure. Now, Aquaria
wasn't the only one
Copy !req
358. who poked the bear.
Copy !req
359. Let's take a look at this.
Copy !req
360. - Do y'all hear me?
Copy !req
361. - I'm getting tired
of hearing you talk, honestly.
Copy !req
362. Can I go smoke?
Copy !req
363. - If you need to go smoke,
just say that.
Copy !req
364. - Thanks.
I ain't even arguing.
Copy !req
365. I'm big as hell, and I want
to go smoke a cigarette,
Copy !req
366. and I'm gonna go smoke me
a cigarette.
Copy !req
367. I just feel like
you have more respect
Copy !req
368. for other people than me.
- I don't think it's fair
Copy !req
369. that you get to say that
and then walk away.
Copy !req
370. - I don't think it's fair
Copy !req
371. that you get to be respectful
to other people
Copy !req
372. more than you are me, and I've
been nothing but nice to you,
Copy !req
373. and even get ready
beside you, girl.
Copy !req
374. - When have I been mean to you?
Copy !req
375. - Girl, she can say or do
Copy !req
376. the exact same thing
that I say or do,
Copy !req
377. and you act like
she didn't shit.
Copy !req
378. - First of all,
I am not your mother.
Copy !req
379. - What the fuck
you talking about, bitch?
Copy !req
380. You ain't my mama.
Copy !req
381. - Because you acting like
I have to baby you.
Copy !req
382. - Oh, bye, sis.
- You're a grown ass man.
Copy !req
383. - Really, girl? Really, girl?
Copy !req
384. - I don't owe you
any more than anybody else.
Copy !req
385. - You just want someone
to fight with.
Copy !req
386. - I don't need
to fight with you.
Copy !req
387. You are picking this fight
right now.
Copy !req
388. This is my problem with you.
Copy !req
389. You and Aquaria
are in the same fucking boat.
Copy !req
390. - You're the same way.
Copy !req
391. - You are exactly the girl
that I did not like on Season 9.
Copy !req
392. - You don't know me, girl.
- And see the good in you.
Copy !req
393. But you know what?
You are another bitch
Copy !req
394. who doesn't know when
to let somebody else talk.
Copy !req
395. You think that your problems
are the only problems.
Copy !req
396. - Really? Okay.
Copy !req
397. - Bitch, get your shit
together. Fuck you.
Copy !req
398. - Somebody says
one negative thing
Copy !req
399. and you want to flip
the fuck out?
Copy !req
400. - Fuck you.
Clean the fuck out.
Copy !req
401. - Really? Really?
Can't fuck me, bitch.
Copy !req
402. - No, fuck that.
- I do like you as a person.
Copy !req
403. - Go have your cigarette,
bitch!
Copy !req
404. - No, I'm not going.
- Because it's done.
Copy !req
405. - Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
406. Vixen, Eureka, what was it like
watching all that back?
Copy !req
407. Oh, now you silent?
Copy !req
408. Now you ain't
got nothing to say?
Copy !req
409. - Now that I've seen it
a hundred times,
Copy !req
410. it's a lot easier,
Copy !req
411. but seeing it at first,
it was very hard to watch.
Copy !req
412. - Why?
Copy !req
413. - Because honestly
in my whole life
Copy !req
414. I've never seen myself
that hurt or upset.
Copy !req
415. - Would other people
say the same thing about you?
Copy !req
416. - Yes. My boyfriend
of three years
Copy !req
417. said that that was
the most bothered in any way
Copy !req
418. that he's ever seen me.
Copy !req
419. - Really?
What about you?
Copy !req
420. - I was getting
a lot of tensions
Copy !req
421. from several people
up to that point,
Copy !req
422. but most specifically
The Vixen,
Copy !req
423. and I just didn't feel like
Copy !req
424. I was being allowed
to be a part of the group
Copy !req
425. with a couple of the girls.
Copy !req
426. And it was like
when I had opinions,
Copy !req
427. I would be cut off
and what I was saying
Copy !req
428. didn't seem like
it came across important,
Copy !req
429. and so I got a little defensive.
Copy !req
430. - That's a little defensive
for you?
Copy !req
431. - Oh, well, so I got
really motherfucking defensive.
Copy !req
432. - Yeah. Do you stand
by what you said?
Copy !req
433. - "Go have your cigarette?"
Copy !req
434. - You said a little bit more
than, "Go have your cigarette."
Copy !req
435. - Well, okay, so every time
Copy !req
436. there was a little awkward thing
Copy !req
437. that happened
between me and Eureka,
Copy !req
438. I tried to push it away, pay it.
Copy !req
439. So by that point, I had like
tried as hard as I can
Copy !req
440. to be non-confrontational.
Copy !req
441. So all the fives were
out the window and 10 was here.
Copy !req
442. And so I can't regret it,
Copy !req
443. because I know that I did
everything I could to avoid it.
Copy !req
444. - Do you stand by what you said?
Copy !req
445. - I—I—yes.
Copy !req
446. - All right. All right.
Copy !req
447. Do you stand by what you said?
Copy !req
448. - Not completely, no.
Copy !req
449. I don't stand by
the direction I went
Copy !req
450. about talking about it.
Copy !req
451. You know, maybe I could've been
like, "Girl, what's going on?"
Copy !req
452. You know, maybe instead of
being immediately defensive.
Copy !req
453. But as far as like
defending myself in the moment,
Copy !req
454. I stand beside
what I said in that case.
Copy !req
455. - But I don't think you should
say that it's defending yourself
Copy !req
456. because you weren't
defending yourself.
Copy !req
457. You said yourself
that you were attacking me.
Copy !req
458. So you poked at me until
you got me upset enough
Copy !req
459. to make you look like
the victim.
Copy !req
460. - No. My decision
was never to attack you.
Copy !req
461. - No, that's what happened.
Copy !req
462. - No, I never said "attack,"
darling.
Copy !req
463. - There's a camera.
That's what happened.
Copy !req
464. - There is a camera,
and I never said "attack."
Copy !req
465. - You said it from your mouth.
Copy !req
466. - No!
Copy !req
467. - You said "testing."
Copy !req
468. - This is exactly what I said.
Copy !req
469. "I just wanted to test her
Copy !req
470. because I tell that she
had something against me,"
Copy !req
471. blah blah blah blah blah.
Copy !req
472. - When you walked away from
the argument, you were smiling.
Copy !req
473. - It wasn't fair
that I did that to you.
Copy !req
474. - You were happy
that you got me.
Copy !req
475. - And it wasn't okay.
- And you did got me.
Copy !req
476. Listen, you got me.
Copy !req
477. - Do you feel differently now
than you did?
Copy !req
478. - About what?
Copy !req
479. - About your relationship
with Eureka.
Copy !req
480. - No. Because I sat at home
for months
Copy !req
481. believing that
I made that happen,
Copy !req
482. that it was my fault
that all of that happened.
Copy !req
483. And so I had to sit with that
Copy !req
484. and think that,
oh, I'm this monster.
Copy !req
485. It's gonna come out that
I'm like just this testy bitch
Copy !req
486. who can't keep it under control.
Copy !req
487. And then I find out that
she wanted me to go there.
Copy !req
488. She took me there on purpose.
Copy !req
489. Even before that, I knew
Copy !req
490. that I had issues
in my own mind with Eureka,
Copy !req
491. and I was trying every day
to make it—to keep it cool,
Copy !req
492. but you took it to
the worst possible level.
Copy !req
493. - Yeah, but that's
like saying, you know,
Copy !req
494. "Eat the cake, Anna Mae."
Copy !req
495. - Oh, so it's—
so it is my fault?
Copy !req
496. - You had a choice to react—
- Wait, how is this—how—
Copy !req
497. I don't get the "Eat the cake,
Anna Mae," thing at all.
Copy !req
498. - It's like saying,
"You made me do that."
Copy !req
499. - I think what Ru
is trying to say
Copy !req
500. is that you do not
have to accept the goad
Copy !req
501. when you are goaded.
Copy !req
502. - Yeah, but I think
the problem is
Copy !req
503. there's now five of us
talking to The Vixen
Copy !req
504. telling her why
you didn't have to do that.
Copy !req
505. - Yeah, everybody's tell me
how I should react,
Copy !req
506. but nobody's telling her
how to act.
Copy !req
507. - And, listen, you're not off
the hook either, Eureka.
Copy !req
508. Everybody has choices to take
the bait or to poke the bear.
Copy !req
509. - That's the truth.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
510. - And I'm doing my best not to.
Copy !req
511. - But you admit
that you have a problem
Copy !req
512. being able to not say anything?
Copy !req
513. If somebody says anything to
you, you're gonna respond to it.
Copy !req
514. - Yeah. It's honestly—
Copy !req
515. It really is something
I've tried to work on
Copy !req
516. as far as like the thinking
people all have to like me.
Copy !req
517. - It's not something
you have to work on,
Copy !req
518. it's just something
you just have to do.
Copy !req
519. - Yeah.
Copy !req
520. Can I say
what I wanted to say?
Copy !req
521. - What else do you want to say?
Copy !req
522. - We talked about it,
and I thought that we moved on,
Copy !req
523. and that's all I want
ultimately.
Copy !req
524. I did apologize for that because
I acted like a foolish bitch,
Copy !req
525. and I tried to come at you
because I was feeling sensitive,
Copy !req
526. and it wasn't cool that we ended
up in a heated, nasty argument.
Copy !req
527. But the next day
we talked about it.
Copy !req
528. You told me that
we were okay to move on,
Copy !req
529. and that's really what I want.
Copy !req
530. - There was a lie in there.
Copy !req
531. The next day—
Copy !req
532. I remember getting to the studio
the next day
Copy !req
533. and you pulling me to the side
Copy !req
534. and saying, "Girl, so how
do we wanna handle this?"
Copy !req
535. And that was the moment
that I knew
Copy !req
536. that everything
you had done was intentional
Copy !req
537. and that you were also
gonna produce how we fixed it,
Copy !req
538. and that is why
throughout the competition
Copy !req
539. I never trusted you again.
Copy !req
540. I never wanted
to deal with you again.
Copy !req
541. - But you came into
the competition
Copy !req
542. saying, "I came to fight."
Copy !req
543. And, you know,
it's not like you were—
Copy !req
544. - I came—okay,
so I came into the competition
Copy !req
545. saying that I came to fight.
Copy !req
546. Never once in this competition
did I start a fight.
Copy !req
547. - Wait, is that true?
Copy !req
548. It looked like you were
instigating things, and even—
Copy !req
549. - What did I instigate?
Copy !req
550. - Well, this thing between
Miz Cracker and Aquaria.
Copy !req
551. - It's not instigating
to tell someone the truth.
Copy !req
552. It's not instigating to tell—
Copy !req
553. - You can also not say anything.
Copy !req
554. - You could, but what's wrong
with telling someone the truth?
Copy !req
555. - Well, if you're
gonna tell the truth
Copy !req
556. and it's gonna create
tension in the room,
Copy !req
557. then that is creating a fight.
Copy !req
558. You also have a choice
to not say anything.
Copy !req
559. - Okay, so I came here
to thank my fans
Copy !req
560. for the love and support
that they gave me,
Copy !req
561. for all the wonderful people
who relate to me,
Copy !req
562. understand me and appreciate me.
Copy !req
563. And now that I've done that,
y'all can have a good night.
Copy !req
564. - Wait, wait, wait, Vixen, wait
Vixen, can I say something?
Copy !req
565. - No, I'm done. No.
Copy !req
566. - Okay. Well, Vixen...
Copy !req
567. Can you explain to someone who
cannot be spoken to?
Copy !req
568. It's just ridiculous
Copy !req
569. Look at me! Look at me
God damit!
Copy !req
570. I come from the same God
damn place she comes from
Copy !req
571. - Welcome back to
"RuPaul's Drag Race Reunited."
Copy !req
572. Now, unfortunately, The Vixen
has decided to not rejoin us,
Copy !req
573. but before moving on,
does anyone have anything
Copy !req
574. they'd like to say
about this situation?
Copy !req
575. - I don't think
it was the best thing to do,
Copy !req
576. but I do think
her getting up and leaving
Copy !req
577. was her way of separating
herself from a situation
Copy !req
578. where either A, she was
gonna either have to fight
Copy !req
579. or leave the room.
Copy !req
580. - I disagree. I really do.
Copy !req
581. There's still a way
to have a conversation
Copy !req
582. without having
to do that, though.
Copy !req
583. - Agreed. Agreed.
But that's the—
Copy !req
584. - If she would just sit there
and just say, you know what?
Copy !req
585. Let me take a moment, breathe,
Copy !req
586. think about
what I'm about to say
Copy !req
587. so that I could get
my message across,
Copy !req
588. everyone at home
can understand her more.
Copy !req
589. - She walked out of the room
Copy !req
590. because she does not know
what else to do,
Copy !req
591. and it's our job as people
Copy !req
592. to try and help her
through a situation
Copy !req
593. that it's clear that
she's struggling through.
Copy !req
594. - Listen, as a community,
Copy !req
595. we do have responsibility
to each other,
Copy !req
596. but each of us,
we are all adults.
Copy !req
597. At one point you gotta say,
there is nothing else I can do.
Copy !req
598. And each of us have had
people in our lives
Copy !req
599. who you realize I can't do
anything for this person
Copy !req
600. unless they want
to meet me halfway.
Copy !req
601. - Valid. But I also feel like
earned authority is real.
Copy !req
602. - Accepting love is something
that's really important
Copy !req
603. just as much as giving love.
Copy !req
604. - But what
I don't understand is,
Copy !req
605. why do we just automatically
expect everybody
Copy !req
606. to understand that?
Copy !req
607. I don't agree with everything
that The Vixen says or does,
Copy !req
608. but I understand
where it comes from,
Copy !req
609. and I think...
Copy !req
610. The Vixen seems to me
Copy !req
611. like a person
that's crying out for help.
Copy !req
612. And it's like everybody else
is like, girl, that's on you.
Copy !req
613. You gotta figure it out,
and I just...
Copy !req
614. That's just unfortunate to me.
Copy !req
615. Like, I feel like
our sole purpose here
Copy !req
616. is to, you know, enrich
the lives of other people,
Copy !req
617. and even if I'm met
with controversy or whatnot,
Copy !req
618. I can do that every day
because 20 years down the road
Copy !req
619. we've got something, then
it's because, you know,
Copy !req
620. I was persistent in trying
to make your life better.
Copy !req
621. - Listen, I love the girl.
Copy !req
622. In fact, I invited her on
in the first place
Copy !req
623. because I felt her voice
needed to be heard.
Copy !req
624. But at one point,
and you've seen this
Copy !req
625. with your friends back home,
Copy !req
626. at one point sometimes
you gotta let people go
Copy !req
627. whether it's anger
or whatever the issue is,
Copy !req
628. because it's not
a two-way street.
Copy !req
629. It's one-sided.
Copy !req
630. And that's where we are.
Copy !req
631. It's a one-sided conversation.
Copy !req
632. She decided she's gonna get
the last word and walk out,
Copy !req
633. so there, it's done.
Copy !req
634. - It's just ridiculous.
It's just ridiculous.
Copy !req
635. Like it's ridiculous that our
thought process about people
Copy !req
636. is so self-centered that if
it's hard to help somebody,
Copy !req
637. well, just let them struggle.
Copy !req
638. We're not drag queens,
we're people,
Copy !req
639. and now we've got
one of our people outside.
Copy !req
640. Here were are filming
during Pride season,
Copy !req
641. and we let one of our sisters
walk out the fucking room
Copy !req
642. 'cause nobody wants
to fucking help her.
Copy !req
643. And we're the first people—
we are the first people
Copy !req
644. to say that people
aren't treating us right.
Copy !req
645. - Do you think there's anything
we could have said to The Vixen
Copy !req
646. to make her stay?
Copy !req
647. - It's not about what we say,
it's about what we do.
Copy !req
648. - What could we have done?
Copy !req
649. - If I had of got up
and walked to that door
Copy !req
650. and said, "The Vixen,
we need you to stay."
Copy !req
651. But the fact that we, including
myself, let her walk out,
Copy !req
652. she—that door
closed behind her
Copy !req
653. and she said, yeah, I guess
I'm making the right choice.
Copy !req
654. - When Vixen decided to say,
"Thank you, but I'm leaving,"
Copy !req
655. do you believe that she had
already made up her mind?
Copy !req
656. Clearly you don't believe
she had already made up her mind
Copy !req
657. that this is it.
Copy !req
658. Because I believe
when she said that,
Copy !req
659. she was done
Copy !req
660. and there was nothing
anyone could do to stop her.
Copy !req
661. I mean, you've had
discussions with her.
Copy !req
662. In fact, we saw you have
a lovely discussion with her,
Copy !req
663. where we actually got to see
the sweetness in him,
Copy !req
664. and I saw the fear,
and I saw all of that,
Copy !req
665. and I understood
why that wall was put up,
Copy !req
666. because I have that wall,
you have it,
Copy !req
667. you have it, we all have it.
Copy !req
668. And it's coming
from a hurt place. It is.
Copy !req
669. But I can't teach her that.
Copy !req
670. I can teach her
through my own example.
Copy !req
671. - Of course you can.
Copy !req
672. - What, am I gonna go back
and follow her
Copy !req
673. and go say, "Come here,
let me tell you something."
Copy !req
674. - I mean, not at this moment.
Copy !req
675. - Can you explain to someone
who cannot be spoken to?
Copy !req
676. - No. I don't expect you
to do that, but—
Copy !req
677. - But look at me,
look at me, goddamn it.
Copy !req
678. I come from the same
goddamn place she comes from.
Copy !req
679. And here I am,
and you see me walking out?
Copy !req
680. No, I'm not walking out.
Copy !req
681. I fucking learn
how to act around people
Copy !req
682. and how to deal with shit.
Copy !req
683. I'm not fucking walking out
Copy !req
684. and saying,
"fuck all y'all," you know?
Copy !req
685. That's disrespectful
to each of you.
Copy !req
686. And I know you feel for her
because you see yourself in her,
Copy !req
687. 'cause we all have
that same frustration.
Copy !req
688. Let me tell you something.
Copy !req
689. I have been
discriminated against
Copy !req
690. by white people for being black,
by black people for being gay,
Copy !req
691. by gay people for being too fem.
Copy !req
692. Did I let that stop me
from getting to this chair?
Copy !req
693. No. I had to separate
what I feel
Copy !req
694. or what my impression
of the situation is
Copy !req
695. to put my focus on the goal.
Copy !req
696. You can't just make excuses
Copy !req
697. for bad behavior
or for inconsiderate behavior.
Copy !req
698. I invited each of you back here
Copy !req
699. to my house, into my home,
Copy !req
700. and if I'm invited
to someone's home,
Copy !req
701. I'm not gonna disrespect
their home.
Copy !req
702. I'm not gonna just disrespect
the invitation.
Copy !req
703. You know, the world is hard.
Copy !req
704. It's hard to live
on this planet.
Copy !req
705. But we all have to learn
how to deal with it,
Copy !req
706. but you gotta ask
for help first.
Copy !req
707. Listen, at the end of the day,
we are all a drag family,
Copy !req
708. and as you can see here tonight,
it doesn't always come easy.
Copy !req
709. I want you take a look at this.
Copy !req
710. - My mom knocks on my door
and says,
Copy !req
711. "Your dad just found something
on your computer."
Copy !req
712. They lost it.
They took me to church.
Copy !req
713. They got me exorcised
Copy !req
714. because they thought
I was possessed by a gay demon.
Copy !req
715. - Really?
Copy !req
716. - I was so confused after
the whole thing went down
Copy !req
717. because was I straight now?
Like...
Copy !req
718. I had to go through therapy.
Copy !req
719. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
720. - And I was on a track
to go to straight camp.
Copy !req
721. I was meeting
with these pastors,
Copy !req
722. and he was like,
"In a homosexual relationship,
Copy !req
723. you'll never find success,
you'll never find love."
Copy !req
724. And I stopped him and I went
upstairs and I packed my car.
Copy !req
725. I said,
"I can't do this anymore."
Copy !req
726. - Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
727. You know, Dusty,
I watched this at home,
Copy !req
728. and I busted out crying
when I saw this.
Copy !req
729. And you went through this thing
that's so horrific.
Copy !req
730. If you don't mind,
would you tell us,
Copy !req
731. what is conversion therapy?
Copy !req
732. - Conversion therapy
is a cleanse and a confession.
Copy !req
733. You go through this process
Copy !req
734. where you have to literally list
Copy !req
735. every person you've had
a sexual experience with,
Copy !req
736. and it's literally just this
very humiliating process.
Copy !req
737. It was really rough,
Copy !req
738. and I just had to have a day
where I said, enough.
Copy !req
739. - How did you find the strength
to do that?
Copy !req
740. - I've gone through
some hardships as a kid,
Copy !req
741. and I've always told myself that
this moment is just for now.
Copy !req
742. What I'm experiencing right now
cannot last forever.
Copy !req
743. So I know
that there is a tomorrow,
Copy !req
744. and it will get better.
Copy !req
745. I found creative outlets
Copy !req
746. to immerse myself in
for distractions,
Copy !req
747. and the people who saw me shine
Copy !req
748. that needed to be there
for me became my tribe.
Copy !req
749. - And did that also mean
leaving your family behind?
Copy !req
750. - I had to, yeah.
Copy !req
751. - And do you speak with them?
Copy !req
752. - Since that day,
they've apologized.
Copy !req
753. We do not see eye to eye
on homosexuality still,
Copy !req
754. but we have moved on
past that day.
Copy !req
755. The things
that we don't talk about
Copy !req
756. is because we don't see
each other as equal humans.
Copy !req
757. - Is it enough for you
to just have your chosen family?
Copy !req
758. Is that—would that
be enough for you?
Copy !req
759. - You know, it...
Copy !req
760. I love my chosen family.
Copy !req
761. I'm so very lucky.
Copy !req
762. But...
Copy !req
763. It's just really hard
to have strangers come up to you
Copy !req
764. and say that I look up to you,
I'm so proud of you,
Copy !req
765. I'm cheering you on,
Copy !req
766. and then you don't have
those people
Copy !req
767. that you wish were there
the most
Copy !req
768. saying, we are proud of you.
Copy !req
769. We are wearing
the Dusty shirt.
Copy !req
770. We are posting you
on our social media.
Copy !req
771. We are there.
Copy !req
772. And I'm good.
My life is good.
Copy !req
773. It could just be better
that way, that's all.
Copy !req
774. - You are fabulous, girl.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
775. - Fricking fabulous.
Copy !req
776. - Come on to the Bottoms family.
Copy !req
777. - Well, thank you
so much, Dusty,
Copy !req
778. for your courage
to tell that story.
Copy !req
779. It's really helped
a lot of people.
Copy !req
780. Now, when we talk about queens
with deep spiritual connections,
Copy !req
781. we can't leave out
Monique Heart.
Copy !req
782. More with her when we return.
Copy !req
783. Thinking that if I just
prayed away
Copy !req
784. I'll finally be free but to be
100% honest, it wasn't
Copy !req
785. - It really wasn't
Copy !req
786. Have you spoken with
your mother?
Copy !req
787. Welcome back to "RuPaul's
Drag Race Reunited."
Copy !req
788. Now, Dusty wasn't the only one
Copy !req
789. who struggled with faith
and family. Take a look.
Copy !req
790. - Being here and knowing
Copy !req
791. that my mother can potentially
watch this show,
Copy !req
792. and me being
my most authentic self
Copy !req
793. makes me very
like uncomfortable
Copy !req
794. because I'm like
she's gonna watch and like—
Copy !req
795. - Oh, yes.
Copy !req
796. - I am seriously—
like seriously fruity,
Copy !req
797. you know what I mean?
Copy !req
798. - Is there no feeling
of liberation in that at all?
Copy !req
799. - No, because I know my mother
and I have to deal with her,
Copy !req
800. and I'm trying to build
a relationship with her
Copy !req
801. at this point that
she knows that I do drag.
Copy !req
802. - Monique, how old are you?
Copy !req
803. - I'm 31.
Copy !req
804. - Wait, your family
doesn't know you do drag?
Copy !req
805. - No, she knows, but like
I'm grown and I don't—
Copy !req
806. like, my mom is my everything,
you know what I mean?
Copy !req
807. - I hear that.
Copy !req
808. - And I didn't talk to her
for like four years
Copy !req
809. because you can't
be black and gay.
Copy !req
810. Like, you just can't.
You just can't.
Copy !req
811. - Hello. Hello.
- You know what I mean?
Copy !req
812. And then when you have
such a strong—
Copy !req
813. I'm fifth generation
full-time ministry.
Copy !req
814. This is like heresy,
you know what I mean?
Copy !req
815. - Wow, that's deep.
Copy !req
816. So, Monique,
you can relate to Dusty.
Copy !req
817. - Yeah. The day that Dusty,
Blair, Eureka, and Asia
Copy !req
818. opened up
about their spirituality,
Copy !req
819. I really didn't 'cause,
like, I still kind of love
Copy !req
820. this one that we call God
and, you know,
Copy !req
821. go by the name of Jesus,
whatever.
Copy !req
822. But to hear again the BS
that you go through
Copy !req
823. just trying to become
your most authentic self,
Copy !req
824. thinking that if I just pray
it away or confess this name,
Copy !req
825. like, I'll finally be free,
Copy !req
826. but to be 100% honest,
it wasn't.
Copy !req
827. It really wasn't.
Copy !req
828. It really was not until
Copy !req
829. I put on a wig and a dress
and I grabbed that mic
Copy !req
830. and I saw this kid
sitting across from me,
Copy !req
831. and like we had this dance party
at Hamburger Mary's,
Copy !req
832. and he wanted to go up
Copy !req
833. and I said,
know that you are loved
Copy !req
834. and you are so worth it
and go twirl,
Copy !req
835. like go give it to 'em.
Copy !req
836. - Twirl, bitch.
Copy !req
837. - And I knew that in that moment
Copy !req
838. that, like, yo, black
gay youth come up to you,
Copy !req
839. because I wanted to be that boy,
but I couldn't be that boy.
Copy !req
840. So to be in a day and age
where they can,
Copy !req
841. that means so much.
Copy !req
842. Like, it was all worth it.
Copy !req
843. - It was all worth it.
Copy !req
844. All the pain,
it was all worth it.
Copy !req
845. Have you spoken
with your mother?
Copy !req
846. - I did, but she wasn't
like happy.
Copy !req
847. And so I felt very alone,
Copy !req
848. and to come back
to your room every night
Copy !req
849. and just you have friends, but
you just like God, I'm alone,
Copy !req
850. and there wasn't nobody
but me, Jesus,
Copy !req
851. and glitter and rhinestones.
That was it.
Copy !req
852. Like Psalms 110 says, he wraps
himself in a garment of light.
Copy !req
853. Dolce can't do that,
Versace can't do that.
Copy !req
854. Like the aah, he lives
for the ooh-ah-ah sensation.
Copy !req
855. So when you know that,
you're free, and I'm sorry.
Copy !req
856. - No, this is right.
This is it.
Copy !req
857. This is it right here.
This is it right here.
Copy !req
858. Because what you're saying
is you,
Copy !req
859. through this journey
of a lot of pain,
Copy !req
860. you have found
what the true meaning is.
Copy !req
861. You just quoted the Bible.
Copy !req
862. You just interpret it
through your own path.
Copy !req
863. You've understood
what those words really mean,
Copy !req
864. and you're absolutely right.
Copy !req
865. - Amen.
- Dress yourself up
Copy !req
866. and go out there and celebrate.
Copy !req
867. And your ministry helped
this kid in Hamburger Mary's
Copy !req
868. come into the light,
walk into his own beauty,
Copy !req
869. into his own light.
Copy !req
870. But this is why this ministry
of drag is so powerful.
Copy !req
871. We can speak from so much pain
Copy !req
872. and so much heartache
and so much still frustration,
Copy !req
873. but we can walk that walk,
and you're doing it.
Copy !req
874. You are doing it.
Copy !req
875. We'll be right back.
Copy !req
876. You have an interesting
relationship with your parents?
Copy !req
877. They still ask me
Copy !req
878. "when are you going to bring
back home a chinese girlfriend?"
Copy !req
879. But don't they know that I am
the girlfriend already?
Copy !req
880. - Welcome back to "RuPaul's
Drag Race Reunited."
Copy !req
881. Now, there's something
about the main stage
Copy !req
882. that makes queens
bare their souls.
Copy !req
883. It's like a truth serum.
Copy !req
884. But nobody was prepared
for the startling confession
Copy !req
885. of our dear Blair St. Clair.
Copy !req
886. Let's take a look.
Copy !req
887. - Um...
Copy !req
888. My first sexual experience,
I was raped at a college party,
Copy !req
889. and from that I have looked
to find pretty things.
Copy !req
890. It's something
I need to get over,
Copy !req
891. but I've tried
to turn positive the best I can.
Copy !req
892. - So, Blair, in "Untucked,"
you share
Copy !req
893. that this was the first time
you had spoken about that.
Copy !req
894. What made you decide
to do it on this forum?
Copy !req
895. - You know...
Copy !req
896. sometimes your heart knows
when you're ready to talk
Copy !req
897. before your brain does.
Copy !req
898. - Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
899. - And I don't even think
my brain
Copy !req
900. was fully capable of what
I was doing at the moment.
Copy !req
901. - Yeah. When did you tell
your mother?
Copy !req
902. - I had a conversation
with my mother
Copy !req
903. a few weeks after I got home
from "Drag Race."
Copy !req
904. We sat down
and we talked about it,
Copy !req
905. and that was probably harder
Copy !req
906. than talking about it
to the world.
Copy !req
907. Telling the people
that you love the most
Copy !req
908. something traumatic about you
is really difficult,
Copy !req
909. and that's why
I've held it in for so long,
Copy !req
910. 'cause I didn't even want
to admit it to myself.
Copy !req
911. - Yeah. And in all the years
Copy !req
912. before you revealed it
on television,
Copy !req
913. how had you been coping
with that pain?
Copy !req
914. - You know, everyone has
a different way of coping,
Copy !req
915. and everyone has a different
mechanism in what they do,
Copy !req
916. and whenever I found pain
Copy !req
917. and whenever I found hurt,
frustration, anger
Copy !req
918. or anything that was like
a negative emotion,
Copy !req
919. I would turn to alcohol,
and I would drink in excess.
Copy !req
920. It's something that
I didn't realize was a problem
Copy !req
921. until after coming home
from "Drag Race"
Copy !req
922. and recognizing that might be
something that I can't control
Copy !req
923. because I use to mask the pain.
Copy !req
924. Now I've been living
a sober life
Copy !req
925. since coming back
from "Drag Race."
Copy !req
926. And I can tell you
Copy !req
927. that from what I've experienced
in my spiritual growth
Copy !req
928. is that I am a more humbled,
caring, thoughtful person,
Copy !req
929. and it has truly
changed my life.
Copy !req
930. - How have fans reacted?
Copy !req
931. - Fans have been incredible.
Copy !req
932. They've just been—
and so have my sisters.
Copy !req
933. You guys have just been
so wonderful,
Copy !req
934. and I think the best way
to describe it
Copy !req
935. is that I have gone through
something so painful,
Copy !req
936. so haunting and hurtful,
Copy !req
937. but it's only been received
back to me
Copy !req
938. in so much love
from everybody else,
Copy !req
939. and it's just been so amazing
for me to embrace that back.
Copy !req
940. - Thank you so much, Blair,
for being so brave,
Copy !req
941. and for inspiring
so many people.
Copy !req
942. Opening up is always hard,
Copy !req
943. especially when it comes
to family.
Copy !req
944. Let's take a look at this.
Copy !req
945. - In 2014, I won
a small pageant in Brooklyn.
Copy !req
946. The pageant was on Saturday.
Copy !req
947. I wake up Monday morning
Copy !req
948. with like 27 missed calls
from my mom.
Copy !req
949. I'm like what happened,
what is going on?
Copy !req
950. They sent an article
back to St. Lucia
Copy !req
951. with me in drag
on the cover of the newspaper,
Copy !req
952. the only newspaper
on the entire island.
Copy !req
953. She called me, she was like
what is going on?
Copy !req
954. Are you trans? Are you gay?
Copy !req
955. What is all this shit?
I'm like no.
Copy !req
956. I was just doing it
for a movie thing
Copy !req
957. and it got misconstrued.
Copy !req
958. It was the craziest thing
in my life, girl.
Copy !req
959. In retrospect,
I should have just said,
Copy !req
960. hey, I'm a drag queen,
Copy !req
961. but I like lied about it,
Copy !req
962. and there's a small sliver of me
Copy !req
963. that thinks that
they might reject me,
Copy !req
964. and that is why
I don't want to say it.
Copy !req
965. It's very scary.
Copy !req
966. - Now, you talked about
your Caribbean upbringing.
Copy !req
967. - Yeah.
- Tell me about that.
Copy !req
968. How did that affect you?
Copy !req
969. - Growing up in a small island
like St. Lucia,
Copy !req
970. there aren't lots of gay people.
Copy !req
971. You don't see gay people on TV.
Copy !req
972. You don't see gay people
at the store.
Copy !req
973. So when I moved back to America,
Copy !req
974. and I was thrust
into New York City
Copy !req
975. where going to school
on the 2 train,
Copy !req
976. I was seeing drag queens
coming off their shift from work
Copy !req
977. at 7:00 in the morning.
Copy !req
978. It is like—
it was a shock to me.
Copy !req
979. And me knowing that
there was a small part of me
Copy !req
980. that identified with that,
Copy !req
981. and it was like a very haunting
and daunting fear of mine
Copy !req
982. to realize that, hey, I'm gay,
but not just gay,
Copy !req
983. I'm like the highest form
of gay, I'm a drag queen.
Copy !req
984. - The highest form of gay.
Copy !req
985. - It was like the Megazord
of being gay.
Copy !req
986. I am a drag queen.
Copy !req
987. Have they seen the show?
Copy !req
988. - I mean, she's still
very wary about it.
Copy !req
989. She won't say
that I'm on "Drag Race."
Copy !req
990. She's like, so that show you're
doing, how you doing on it?
Copy !req
991. Are you still on it?
Copy !req
992. And I'm like, yeah, Mom,
I'm still on it.
Copy !req
993. This was episode eight,
I was still doing well.
Copy !req
994. And I was like, yeah, Mom,
I'm still on there.
Copy !req
995. She's like, well, I hope
you go far, but she has not—
Copy !req
996. - Why do you think that is?
Copy !req
997. Why do you think
she is reluctant
Copy !req
998. to watching you on the show?
Copy !req
999. - I think just from
an afro-black perspective,
Copy !req
1000. like being gay
Copy !req
1001. and saying that you're
homosexual and all those things,
Copy !req
1002. it's hard for black women
and black moms to reconcile with
Copy !req
1003. because it is—
it often is demonized
Copy !req
1004. because she's at church
every Sunday morning,
Copy !req
1005. and like that is her devotion.
Copy !req
1006. So seeing that her son
is amplifying all those fears
Copy !req
1007. that she's been preached at
Copy !req
1008. every Wednesday night
in Bible study
Copy !req
1009. and every Thursday
at choir practice,
Copy !req
1010. it's hard for her to—
- Amen.
Copy !req
1011. - To accept that her son
is that thing
Copy !req
1012. that she's been told to fear,
and is not—
Copy !req
1013. - Yeah.
Because at some level
Copy !req
1014. she'd have to deconstruct
her whole belief system
Copy !req
1015. to accept what you're doing.
- Right.
Copy !req
1016. - Is there still a part of you
inside that is—
Copy !req
1017. that sort of demonizes
being a drag queen to yourself?
Copy !req
1018. - Yeah. You know, I feel
old habits die hard.
Copy !req
1019. I went to church every Sunday
morning and I was in choir,
Copy !req
1020. and I still do sing
at a choir in drag.
Copy !req
1021. Every Wednesday night
I'm in choir in full drag.
Copy !req
1022. - Yes.
- Ooh, praise Him.
Copy !req
1023. - It's a very loving place,
Copy !req
1024. but the fact that my mom
still can't say
Copy !req
1025. my son is a drag queen,
I think it is that part of me
Copy !req
1026. that I know
that she is still probably
Copy !req
1027. really wary
any airing of that fact.
Copy !req
1028. - Yeah, yeah. All right.
Copy !req
1029. One last question about that.
Copy !req
1030. Does your whole family
wear a pussycat wig?
Copy !req
1031. - Ru, I come from
a very long lineage
Copy !req
1032. of the pussycat wig ladies.
Copy !req
1033. My grandmother,
my great-great-grandmother,
Copy !req
1034. and my great-
great-great-grandfather, okay?
Copy !req
1035. - Miss Hattie May X Change.
- Miss Hattie May X Change.
Copy !req
1036. He was a drag queen girl,
and he had a pussycat wig.
Copy !req
1037. - I love it.
Copy !req
1038. Now, Yuhua, you have
an interesting relationship
Copy !req
1039. with your parents,
is that correct?
Copy !req
1040. - Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
1041. I grew up in a very,
very conservative family.
Copy !req
1042. I am original from China,
Copy !req
1043. and in China we view drag queens
Copy !req
1044. as someone who is mentally ill,
unstable, and crazy.
Copy !req
1045. - Well, that's true.
That's true.
Copy !req
1046. - So when I was growing up,
Copy !req
1047. I used to be very, very,
very, very scared of drag
Copy !req
1048. until I discovered
what drag was.
Copy !req
1049. And I put a wig on.
Copy !req
1050. I tried to play with all the
colors on the makeup palette,
Copy !req
1051. and it made me so free,
Copy !req
1052. and made me
so much more happier.
Copy !req
1053. It gave me confidence
and determination,
Copy !req
1054. and it saved me as a person.
Copy !req
1055. - And did you do it in secret?
Copy !req
1056. - I did it in secret.
I was 16 at the time.
Copy !req
1057. - Where would you put
the clothes on?
Copy !req
1058. - I would sneak out
and put the clothes on
Copy !req
1059. in the basement of the apartment
that we lived in
Copy !req
1060. near the garbage cans.
Copy !req
1061. - Do your parents know
that you do drag now?
Copy !req
1062. - They've seen pictures
when I was younger,
Copy !req
1063. but they don't know
where I am with drag right now.
Copy !req
1064. - Yeah.
Do you still see them?
Copy !req
1065. - Yes, I still see them.
We don't talk about it.
Copy !req
1066. I think it's very common
in Asian culture
Copy !req
1067. that you don't talk
about stuff like that
Copy !req
1068. where it's looked down upon,
it's shameful,
Copy !req
1069. so it is best
that we don't talk about it.
Copy !req
1070. Because if we talk about it,
Copy !req
1071. then we would distance ourself
further away from it,
Copy !req
1072. and I think a lot of Asians
out there
Copy !req
1073. can relate to the same
situation as well.
Copy !req
1074. - Do you ever see a day
where you tell them?
Copy !req
1075. - I don't know.
Copy !req
1076. I mean, till this day
they still ask me,
Copy !req
1077. when are you gonna bring back
home a Chinese girlfriend?
Copy !req
1078. But don't they know that
I am the girlfriend already?
Copy !req
1079. - Yuhua.
Copy !req
1080. - After the break,
Copy !req
1081. the queens read each other's
runway looks to filth.
Copy !req
1082. Stay tuned.
Copy !req
1083. To quote Monique Heart
Copy !req
1084. "Okay!"
Copy !req
1085. "Okay!"Okay!
Copy !req
1086. Okay!
Copy !req
1087. Okay! Booooo!
Copy !req
1088. Booooo!
Copy !req
1089. Actually I have a
surprise for you.
Copy !req
1090. - Uh-oh.
Copy !req
1091. - Uh-oh.
Copy !req
1092. Welcome back.
Copy !req
1093. Now, we are only one week away
Copy !req
1094. from crowning America's
next drag superstar
Copy !req
1095. in an epic lip sync
smackdown for the crown.
Copy !req
1096. But first, let's play a game
of what we call Toot or Boot.
Copy !req
1097. - Ahh.
- Yes.
Copy !req
1098. - If you love an outfit,
toot it,
Copy !req
1099. and if you don't, boot it.
Copy !req
1100. All right. First up,
Kameron's feather couture.
Copy !req
1101. - Toot.
- That's a shoot, honey.
Copy !req
1102. When Kameron came in,
I was like,
Copy !req
1103. oh, this bitch
is going home tomorrow.
Copy !req
1104. Like, she is done.
Copy !req
1105. Episode 3, you came out in this,
Copy !req
1106. I said, to quote
Monique Heart, "Okay!"
Copy !req
1107. It was like everything.
- Okay!
Copy !req
1108. - I was like,
oh, this is, like,
Copy !req
1109. one of the best looks
of the season probably.
Copy !req
1110. - She looked like she came
Copy !req
1111. straight out of
a "Lord of the Rings" book.
Copy !req
1112. - Up next, we've got
Miz Cracker's silver foxy.
Copy !req
1113. Toot or boot?
- Toot.
Copy !req
1114. - Toot.
- I'm gonna say boot,
Copy !req
1115. 'cause this bitch
put on bigger lips
Copy !req
1116. and just turned out to be
Copy !req
1117. a fatter lipped version
of herself.
Copy !req
1118. - And Michelle said
that she really believed
Copy !req
1119. I would be that wrinkle free
at that age, so...
Copy !req
1120. - All right.
Copy !req
1121. So up next we've got
Monet's sponge dress.
Copy !req
1122. - Boot.
- Boot.
Copy !req
1123. - Really?
Copy !req
1124. - I'm gonna toot it because
when she was making it,
Copy !req
1125. I was watching her and
I was like, this is a good idea,
Copy !req
1126. and I was like, okay,
I'm feeling it,
Copy !req
1127. and I still like it to this day.
Copy !req
1128. - But her silhouette.
- It's just unshapely.
Copy !req
1129. - But Monet,
tell me about the choice
Copy !req
1130. to put the sponges on top
over the bottom part.
Copy !req
1131. - I wanted to mimic
a loofah on a stick.
Copy !req
1132. - Does the dress still exist?
Copy !req
1133. - The dress still exists, Ru,
Copy !req
1134. and actually,
I have a surprise for you.
Copy !req
1135. - Uh-oh.
Copy !req
1136. - A little birdie told me
that you liked it so much.
Copy !req
1137. - Uh-huh.
- So I brought you—
Copy !req
1138. I made one for you.
Copy !req
1139. - Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
1140. I'm surprised
you still have them on there
Copy !req
1141. because every week
you were dabbing yourself
Copy !req
1142. with more of the sponges.
Copy !req
1143. - Ru, can I get a toot or a boot
finally from you?
Copy !req
1144. - You can get a toot.
Copy !req
1145. - Yes!
- Absolutely.
Copy !req
1146. For nerve, for nerve.
Copy !req
1147. It did take nerve.
Copy !req
1148. Now, you bitches
were so extra this season,
Copy !req
1149. it rubbed off on the judges.
Copy !req
1150. Check out these
never-before-seen moments
Copy !req
1151. from the judges' panel.
Copy !req
1152. If you can't love yourself,
Copy !req
1153. how in the hell
you gonna love somebody else?
Copy !req
1154. Can I get an amen in here?
Copy !req
1155. - Amen!
- Amen!
Copy !req
1156. - Can I get an amen, Christina?
Copy !req
1157. - Amen, Christina!
Copy !req
1158. - Now, Shania, have you worn
assless chaps before?
Copy !req
1159. - Um, yes, I have.
Copy !req
1160. - She's wearing them
right now actually.
Copy !req
1161. - Oh.
Copy !req
1162. - Let's go to Alex Trebek
Copy !req
1163. and hear what he has to say
about Asia.
Copy !req
1164. - No T, no shade,
Copy !req
1165. but she was not serving
lemonade.
Copy !req
1166. - Ooh!
- Ooh, all right, Alex,
Copy !req
1167. for the Beyonce quote.
Copy !req
1168. Alex is part of the beyhive.
Copy !req
1169. - Can I just say,
Copy !req
1170. I know it's your husband,
you are so hot.
Copy !req
1171. - Isn't he so hot?
- Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1172. - I know, right?
- I'm—okay.
Copy !req
1173. - Wow. I changed my mind.
Copy !req
1174. Your panel was great,
really amazing,
Copy !req
1175. and you really showed them up.
Copy !req
1176. - I am in love with you, girl.
Copy !req
1177. - That's very nice.
Copy !req
1178. - I remember walking to school
Copy !req
1179. right around "Spring Awakening"
when you were there,
Copy !req
1180. and kids, like, sleeping outside
the theater for like days
Copy !req
1181. to hopefully get a ticket, and
you would sometimes pop in there
Copy !req
1182. and bring them
coffee and donuts.
Copy !req
1183. - That was Jonathan Groff.
Copy !req
1184. That wasn't me, but it's fine.
Copy !req
1185. It's totally fine.
Copy !req
1186. - I'm thinking
of "Book of Mormon."
Copy !req
1187. "Book of Mormon," that was you.
Copy !req
1188. - Look, we're gay and we're
white and we sing high.
Copy !req
1189. I am on board for all of it.
Copy !req
1190. - Courtney, have you ever used
a dating app?
Copy !req
1191. - Yes.
Copy !req
1192. - Are you single?
Because so is Carson.
Copy !req
1193. - Yes, and we would make
a fantastic couple.
Copy !req
1194. - Oh, my God, we could share
makeup and clothes.
Copy !req
1195. - We put you together
for a reason.
Copy !req
1196. - So Alex, is there anything
more you'd like to say?
Copy !req
1197. - Okay, that's it.
I've had it, officially.
Copy !req
1198. - Okur.
Copy !req
1199. - Aah!
Copy !req
1200. - All right, after the break,
more drama, mama.
Copy !req
1201. Don't go anywhere.
Copy !req
1202. I was like oh ok fuck my drag.
Copy !req
1203. You and I don't have a
friendship like that.
Copy !req
1204. Oh she played a
completely different game.
Copy !req
1205. - Or you're just completely
like fake.
Copy !req
1206. Welcome back.
Copy !req
1207. Now, after
the evil twin challenge,
Copy !req
1208. I asked the queens
the classic question,
Copy !req
1209. who should go home and why?
Copy !req
1210. - North Korea.
Copy !req
1211. - The person that I do not think
is a star in this lineup
Copy !req
1212. is Miz Cracker or Miz Crumbs.
Copy !req
1213. - How'd that make you feel,
Miz Cracker?
Copy !req
1214. - Asia, you hurt my feelings.
Copy !req
1215. I took that phrase
and I beat myself for months
Copy !req
1216. till I couldn't get out of bed.
Copy !req
1217. And the reason that that
happened for me, I think,
Copy !req
1218. is because
I come from New York City,
Copy !req
1219. and there is an infinite amount
of love in the world,
Copy !req
1220. but there are so many bars
in New York City,
Copy !req
1221. and I fought for a place
in all of them.
Copy !req
1222. And all year before "Drag Race,"
Copy !req
1223. people were like,
girl, are you ready
Copy !req
1224. for Monet X Change
to be on "Drag Race?"
Copy !req
1225. Girl, are you ready for Aquaria
to be on "Drag Race?"
Copy !req
1226. I was always not a star.
Copy !req
1227. I came here only to be a star,
Copy !req
1228. to show people
that I was not less than.
Copy !req
1229. That was something
I was already telling myself.
Copy !req
1230. You opened it in me
that that's the story.
Copy !req
1231. - Do you still stand
by saying that she's not a star?
Copy !req
1232. - That was wrong, and it was
hurtful for me to say that,
Copy !req
1233. and, you know, I would never
want to discredit anybody's work
Copy !req
1234. or let somebody feel like,
you know, they're less than,
Copy !req
1235. because, I mean,
you are more than.
Copy !req
1236. You proved that by being here
Copy !req
1237. and as far as you've made it
in the competition.
Copy !req
1238. So I'm really sorry
from the bottom of my heart.
Copy !req
1239. I knew as soon as the words
left my mouth
Copy !req
1240. that that's not something
you say about somebody else
Copy !req
1241. that's in the same, you know,
line of work as you.
Copy !req
1242. - Right.
- Do you believe her?
Copy !req
1243. - Do I believe her—
this apology?
Copy !req
1244. Yes, I believe that.
Copy !req
1245. What I will say is this time
you made a mistake. Fine.
Copy !req
1246. Not next time, bitch.
Copy !req
1247. - All right, let's move on.
Copy !req
1248. Now, we are just one week away
Copy !req
1249. from crowning America's
next drag superstar.
Copy !req
1250. Now, ladies, I've been asking
a lot of questions,
Copy !req
1251. but now I'd like
to give you the chance
Copy !req
1252. to ask questions to each other.
Copy !req
1253. It's the last call.
Copy !req
1254. Now, if you have anything you
want to get off your chesticles,
Copy !req
1255. now is the time.
Copy !req
1256. Oh, okay.
Copy !req
1257. - Okay, Mayhem.
- Mayhem.
Copy !req
1258. - Mayhem.
Copy !req
1259. - Okay, so here's the thing.
Copy !req
1260. This one's directed
to Asia and Aquaria.
Copy !req
1261. Now, on "Untucked,"
Copy !req
1262. you guys have both had
a discussion about me,
Copy !req
1263. saying that my drag
didn't have a wow factor,
Copy !req
1264. and at home watching that,
I was completely blown away,
Copy !req
1265. because I was like,
wait a minute.
Copy !req
1266. They never said anything to me
about that.
Copy !req
1267. Every time we had
a design challenge,
Copy !req
1268. like the first episode
that I won for my look,
Copy !req
1269. everyone said, oh, my God,
wow, that was great.
Copy !req
1270. And then
when it came to the ball,
Copy !req
1271. my Martian look was sickening,
Copy !req
1272. and you guys sat there
in "Untucked"
Copy !req
1273. and said that about me,
and I was very hurt by that,
Copy !req
1274. because I was like,
wait a minute, what?
Copy !req
1275. I would have thought
that you guys
Copy !req
1276. would have been like, girl,
what are you wearing? Like—
Copy !req
1277. But I thought every time I hit
that runway I was put together.
Copy !req
1278. I was like, okay,
fuck my drag all of a sudden.
Copy !req
1279. - If I may, first,
I came into this competition
Copy !req
1280. a very huge Mayhem fan,
Copy !req
1281. because I think you're just
so freaking cool and so fierce.
Copy !req
1282. And I think for me, you were
giving me fabulous drag,
Copy !req
1283. but I didn't see you stand out
Copy !req
1284. the way that I wish that
I could see you stand out,
Copy !req
1285. and I think that's more
what I meant,
Copy !req
1286. rather than, oh,
fuck your drag, you know?
Copy !req
1287. So I'm very sorry
Copy !req
1288. if I made you feel that way
watching especially.
Copy !req
1289. - For me, prior to "Drag Race,"
Copy !req
1290. you were always
the girl to beat.
Copy !req
1291. And the first episode,
the design challenge,
Copy !req
1292. I mean, I stood right there
with Eureka
Copy !req
1293. and told you
how fabulous that was.
Copy !req
1294. I did not not personally care
for your Martian looks,
Copy !req
1295. but I wasn't just
gonna go over there
Copy !req
1296. and say,
girl, I don't like that,
Copy !req
1297. because you and I don't have
a friendship like that.
Copy !req
1298. I'm not a judge, and, I mean,
I respect you enough as a person
Copy !req
1299. to not like
rain on your parade
Copy !req
1300. with my opinions that
a lot of times don't matter.
Copy !req
1301. But there was never a time
where I said, you know,
Copy !req
1302. oh, Mayhem, I love this,
Copy !req
1303. and then went in "Untucked"
and said something different.
Copy !req
1304. - Okay, that's a valid point.
Copy !req
1305. Let's—anybody else want—
Copy !req
1306. - Okay, I have one.
Kameron, you stunt queen,
Copy !req
1307. strategizing the house down,
faces of many.
Copy !req
1308. You on social media
have all of this mouth,
Copy !req
1309. and I go—
now I understand strategy.
Copy !req
1310. I just don't understand like
Copy !req
1311. where's this girl
that claps back, pops off,
Copy !req
1312. and then this one over here
was just very like,
Copy !req
1313. I don't say anything,
I don't do—like who—
Copy !req
1314. I'm just asking only
because it seems very like,
Copy !req
1315. oh, she played
a completely different game
Copy !req
1316. and we don't know you at all
Copy !req
1317. or you're just completely
like fake.
Copy !req
1318. - It wasn't really
even a strategy.
Copy !req
1319. I was just intimidated
by you guys.
Copy !req
1320. You guys were all—
Copy !req
1321. I think all of you working
as professional drag queens.
Copy !req
1322. I was not.
I was a hairdresser.
Copy !req
1323. I stopped doing drag and
concentrated on my hair career,
Copy !req
1324. and then I auditioned
for the show and I made it,
Copy !req
1325. and then in that moment,
I realized, oh, shit.
Copy !req
1326. What did I get myself into?
Copy !req
1327. And so I had to come and compete
Copy !req
1328. in a competition
where I didn't think
Copy !req
1329. I would make it where I made it,
Copy !req
1330. and that was why I was so quiet.
Copy !req
1331. It wasn't a strategy, it was me
doubting myself the whole time.
Copy !req
1332. But you come to my shows,
when you come and see me live,
Copy !req
1333. I'm the same way
that I am on social media
Copy !req
1334. as I am in person at my shows.
Copy !req
1335. - You know,
it's very heartbreaking,
Copy !req
1336. because when I see your
personality on social media,
Copy !req
1337. that hurts my feelings,
Copy !req
1338. because like I don't have
a relationship with you.
Copy !req
1339. I don't know if many girls
have relationships with you,
Copy !req
1340. but it's almost like
you don't want it at all,
Copy !req
1341. and like press week, mama,
Copy !req
1342. we were together in each other's
faces for a whole week.
Copy !req
1343. I would walk into the room.
Copy !req
1344. I literally
had to sit on your lap
Copy !req
1345. and grab your face and say,
hi, Kameron, hello.
Copy !req
1346. And then after that weekend,
Copy !req
1347. I told myself I'm not
wasting any more energy—
Copy !req
1348. - Why, because the response—
Copy !req
1349. You wouldn't get a response
from Kameron?
Copy !req
1350. - Listen, everyone here
will walk into the room
Copy !req
1351. and say hello to each other.
Copy !req
1352. Sis, how you been?
Copy !req
1353. I can't even turn Kameron's head
when I walk into the room.
Copy !req
1354. - Is that true, Kameron?
Why is that?
Copy !req
1355. - I'm sure some girls
feel like that.
Copy !req
1356. I don't have a close
relationship with everyone here,
Copy !req
1357. but I—
when I walk into a room,
Copy !req
1358. maybe I didn't do it
on the show,
Copy !req
1359. but events
that we've done together,
Copy !req
1360. I feel like I walk up
and say hello to you guys.
Copy !req
1361. I feel like I say hi.
Copy !req
1362. I feel like I say
that you look great.
Copy !req
1363. - Sis, I love you,
but you will clear into a room
Copy !req
1364. and just go...
Copy !req
1365. And I—you will.
Copy !req
1366. So it feels intentional.
Copy !req
1367. It feels like you don't care,
that's what it is.
Copy !req
1368. So it's not like you gotta be,
"Oh, Boo, woo, woo, woo."
Copy !req
1369. No. Just, hey, fish,
keep it pushing, that's it.
Copy !req
1370. - I have to disagree.
Copy !req
1371. I feel like I comment
Copy !req
1372. and tell you guys
that you look good.
Copy !req
1373. Maybe I didn't do it—
- When we activate with you.
Copy !req
1374. - Maybe I didn't do it
back then, but I do it now.
Copy !req
1375. - But also I feel
actively on the show
Copy !req
1376. you said to us often
that I'm not talking
Copy !req
1377. because I don't want to say—
Copy !req
1378. I don't want them
to put shady clips up of me.
Copy !req
1379. But it's like, it you don't
have something shady to say,
Copy !req
1380. then that's not gonna happen.
Copy !req
1381. - See, that girl right here.
Copy !req
1382. This girl, who's she?
That one right there?
Copy !req
1383. You just said...
Who's she?
Copy !req
1384. - Oh, did you just make a face?
- That's what I'm saying.
Copy !req
1385. No, she just clicked.
Copy !req
1386. Who—that's what I'm saying.
Copy !req
1387. That's what I'm saying.
- She clicked out, not clicked.
Copy !req
1388. - She just clicked over,
you know what I'm saying?
Copy !req
1389. It's all in, like,
body language and everything,
Copy !req
1390. you know what I'm saying?
And so I'm going like—
Copy !req
1391. - She's here with us.
- You're here with us.
Copy !req
1392. - To put a Band-Aid on that,
Copy !req
1393. I'm not saying that you were
maliciously trying to ignore us.
Copy !req
1394. It's just that when
we hear you say that,
Copy !req
1395. oh, I'm not gonna
say nothing on camera
Copy !req
1396. 'cause I don't want
to say nothing shady,
Copy !req
1397. that gives me pause,
Copy !req
1398. like, okay, what does Kameron
really think about Monet?
Copy !req
1399. What does Kameron
really think about Monique?
Copy !req
1400. I think that's what
is the disconnect for me.
Copy !req
1401. - I just think
you're so fabulous.
Copy !req
1402. I just want you
to be my fucking friend.
Copy !req
1403. - Aw.
Copy !req
1404. - Thank you, ladies, for getting
it all off your chests.
Copy !req
1405. After the break, I'll ask
which of our Top Four
Copy !req
1406. should take the crown,
so stick around.
Copy !req
1407. How does it feel to have
a catch phrase last longer
Copy !req
1408. on Drag Race than you did?
Copy !req
1409. Girl I'm glad I have
on a catch phrase, you did?
Copy !req
1410. Girl I'm glad I have
a catch phrase,
Copy !req
1411. Girl I'm glad I have
- who are you again?
Copy !req
1412. - who are you again?
Copy !req
1413. - who are you again?
Copy !req
1414. Welcome back.
Copy !req
1415. Now, ladies,
before you drag-uate
Copy !req
1416. from "RuPaul's Drag Race,"
Copy !req
1417. let's take one last trip
to the library.
Copy !req
1418. - Ooh.
Copy !req
1419. - All right, bitches,
the library is open.
Copy !req
1420. Who wants to go first?
Copy !req
1421. - Me!
- Okay.
Copy !req
1422. - I went to public school, so I
might not be very good at this.
Copy !req
1423. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.
Copy !req
1424. - What, bitch?
Copy !req
1425. - How does it feel
to have a catch phrase
Copy !req
1426. last longer on "Drag Race"
than you did?
Copy !req
1427. - I'm glad
I have a catch phrase.
Copy !req
1428. Who are you again?
Copy !req
1429. Okay, bitch?
Copy !req
1430. - The bitch that sent you home.
Copy !req
1431. The bitch that sent you home.
Copy !req
1432. - Eureka, they say,
eureka, I found it, right?
Copy !req
1433. But when you gonna find out
Copy !req
1434. when to shut the fuck up
sometimes?
Copy !req
1435. - When you come put
that dick in my mouth.
Copy !req
1436. - Aah!
Copy !req
1437. - You know, this season
Copy !req
1438. we thought that The Vixen
and Eureka
Copy !req
1439. was one of the biggest fights,
but no.
Copy !req
1440. I enjoyed watching Yuhua
Copy !req
1441. fight the English language
the entire season.
Copy !req
1442. - What kind of fish?
Copy !req
1443. - Clearly she talking to Monet.
Copy !req
1444. - What kind of fish is that?
Copy !req
1445. - Aquaria is smart!
Copy !req
1446. - Eureka, I know you seem
to have gotten close
Copy !req
1447. to Miss Kameron Michaels,
and that's really surprising
Copy !req
1448. because no one gets close to her
without a $50 meet and greet.
Copy !req
1449. - Ooh.
Copy !req
1450. - And I know
Copy !req
1451. maybe it's because of
Kameron's ego is so big
Copy !req
1452. it makes you feel dainty.
Copy !req
1453. And feeling dainty,
Miss Blair St. Clair,
Copy !req
1454. I know you like to claim
you're a professional actress,
Copy !req
1455. but being a decoy
on "To Catch a Predator"
Copy !req
1456. is not a legit credit.
Copy !req
1457. And Michelle Visage,
never loved you.
Copy !req
1458. - Well, thank you, ladies.
Copy !req
1459. The library for Season 10
is closed officially.
Copy !req
1460. Aquaria, Asia O'Hara,
Copy !req
1461. Eureka and Kameron Michaels,
Copy !req
1462. in one week,
Copy !req
1463. one of you will be crowned
America's next drag superstar
Copy !req
1464. and win a year's supply
Copy !req
1465. of Anastasia of Beverly Hills
cosmetics
Copy !req
1466. and a cash prize of $100,000.
Copy !req
1467. Next week, the Top Four
get to plead their cases,
Copy !req
1468. but now I want to ask
the rest of our queens
Copy !req
1469. who they think should be
America's next drag superstar.
Copy !req
1470. Speak now
or forever hold your peace.
Copy !req
1471. Mayhem.
Copy !req
1472. - God, it's a hard choice
for me.
Copy !req
1473. I really feel Aquaria
Copy !req
1474. has shown how strong
of a competitor she is,
Copy !req
1475. and I feel she has
the future of drag on her.
Copy !req
1476. - Kalorie.
Copy !req
1477. - Eureka.
Copy !req
1478. I think it's time
for a big girl to win.
Copy !req
1479. - Dusty.
Copy !req
1480. - I would have to root
for my New York queen Aquaria.
Copy !req
1481. She is someone who came in
Copy !req
1482. and had the biggest
transformation as a person.
Copy !req
1483. She's so kind,
she's so generous now.
Copy !req
1484. I would even give her
Miss Congeniality
Copy !req
1485. with the crown, really.
- Amen.
Copy !req
1486. - Thank you, Dusty.
- Yuhua.
Copy !req
1487. - I would have to pick Eureka.
Copy !req
1488. She's fucking fierce.
Copy !req
1489. - Monique.
Copy !req
1490. - I said everybody
black and Aquaria,
Copy !req
1491. so I want Asia O'Hara to win
Copy !req
1492. because we need the example
of what she is as a person.
Copy !req
1493. She's the queen I wanted to be,
and she's my queen.
Copy !req
1494. - I love you.
Copy !req
1495. - Miz Cracker.
Copy !req
1496. - Came for me, came for me,
sent me home, Eureka.
Copy !req
1497. Eureka, you win
by the process of elimination.
Copy !req
1498. - Blair?
Copy !req
1499. - I think Asia O'Hara has such
an amazing voice behind her,
Copy !req
1500. and I would love
to see her take that crown.
Copy !req
1501. - Monet.
Copy !req
1502. - I would have to pick
Asia O'Hara.
Copy !req
1503. She's someone who did this
competition with her heart.
Copy !req
1504. - Vanjie.
Copy !req
1505. - I'm gonna pick Eureka,
'cause she is someone
Copy !req
1506. who's been checking on me
all the time constantly.
Copy !req
1507. She's a good sister to me,
Copy !req
1508. and I think
you deserve it as well.
Copy !req
1509. - I love you.
Copy !req
1510. - All will be revealed
in one week
Copy !req
1511. at the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
1512. Now I wanna hear from the fans.
Copy !req
1513. This is your last chance
to let me know
Copy !req
1514. who should be crowned
America's next drag superstar.
Copy !req
1515. Are you #TeamAquaria,
Copy !req
1516. or #TeamKameron.
Copy !req
1517. Get posting on all your
social media and let me know.
Copy !req
1518. Ladies, I want to thank
all of you
Copy !req
1519. for sharing the love,
strength, and wisdom.
Copy !req
1520. I may be the host of this show,
Copy !req
1521. but you, all of you,
are my teachers.
Copy !req
1522. Thank you.
Copy !req
1523. I'll see everyone in one week

Copy !req
1524. Now, if you can't love yourself,
Copy !req
1525. how in the hell
you gonna love somebody else?
Copy !req
1526. Can I get an amen up in here?
Copy !req
1527. - Amen!
- Amen!
Copy !req
1528. - Now let the music play.
